Anytime. Anywhere. [Closed.]

[Kyrie Blaze]

The night was oppressive. Not in the sense she did not feel safe. But the heat and humidity closed in and created a smothering feel to the air. From her perch, Kyrie's crystalline blue eyes were drawn to the ocean and horizon. Storm clouds churned. Lightning flashed. The distant rumble of thunder took a few moments to reach her ears along the breeze. The clouds rolled closer.

The blonde welcomed the storm. Welcomed the rain.

It would reset the feel of this place, give it new energy and the clean smell she loved so much. Rain was home. And the Groves needed it. She would have to weed them tomorrow night. Tonight, she had been on Scouting Detail. And even the time for that had passed without much incident.

She breathed deeply, easily, despite the close feeling to the air. Tendrils of her qi surrounded her in the night., spreading out over the roof and down the walls of the building she was perched upon with a leg drawn to her chest and the other dangling over the edge. It was done with a dual purpose in mind. Early warning system and continued endurance training. For now, all was quiet. This place held its breath in the calm before the storm.

[Zack Asiv]

Kiyr would be able to feel as though something was wrong, as if it was stalking her in the rain. She'd be able to FEEL something looking at her, until the screams came from near by. Clashing, or breaking of swords and ripping of flesh mixed with gurgled last second screams.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Blue eyes lifted to the flashes of lightning. Though her skin crawled she made no obvious, anxious twitches. She simply continued to observe, her gaze drifting almost lazily. Almost. Her eyes were keen and bright and watching. The clouds approached and the feeling grew. The first rolling edge of the storm broke over the shores and her location, and she tipped her face towards the rain and sky, even going so far as to stand as if embracing the storm as she lifted a hand to the sky.

Slowly, she pulled her hand back as the lightning streaked across the sky, causing her eyes to go luminous as she stared.

Stared towards where the feeling of being watched was coming from.

And just like that...it was gone.

Replaced by screams.

'What!'

Eyes immediately narrowing, the blonde turned her way towards the sounds and darted across the roof, her qi forming to a sphere at her hand. She leaped from the roof's edge, shooting towards the ground from four stories up. It gave her time to look at the scene even as she thrust her hand forward to extend her qi to the dark; to a large shadow so she could disappear into it. It stopped the rush as she pulled herself in, though the jolt was less pronounced than usual as she was already "right side up" within the shadows from falling downwards on the normal plane.

Streaking behind her in the dark was the rest of her qi, which fanned out and formed into spheres to shoot at whomever it was as she disappeared into shadow at the bottom.

[Zack Asiv]

Kiyr would fire those sphere's of darkness, like the shells of lost souls to cascade upon the area below, but what she would see would be a figure in all white, wearing a black mask. Holding two swords, that seemed to flicker as if it was just an image dodging any random shadow balls.

It would look to Kiyr slowly, as she would likely notice sliced up bodies near by.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kyrie drew in a slow breath. A silent hiss. He seemed to be incorporeal, ghostlike, but seeing the bodies...

Kyrie's eyes flickered over the carnage, taking note of whether they were Dragonkin or not. She reached up to her vest, withdrawing a dagger strapped there. The one she lifted off the old man that tried to kill her. Her other remained tucked away - the one Todd had thrown at the wall because he couldn't simply slash Levi's throat when he was prone - and within that palm formed a dagger of shadow.

It was unnerving for him to turn to look where she was hidden, as if he could pinpoint her location within the large shadow of the building. But Kyrie's eyes narrowed.

"You are intruding upon Dragon Territory. Tell me your name and purpose, here, and why you cause such slaughter." The blonde projected her voice so it rebounded off the buildings, creating an echoing effect that was slightly dampened by the rain.

[Zack Asiv]

The guy opened his mouth and the mask's mouth opened as well showing the teeth from within as he let out a shriek that seemed to be rippled with Qi, vibrating the shadowy plane Kiyr inhabited.

The two dead bodies where Dragonlings no doubt. Specifically ones that had been intune very basically with their Qi.

[Kyrie Blaze]

He. Was. Eerie. And creepy. And had lots of teeth.

The shriek hurt her ears. Moreover, it reverberated the qi area she was in. She pressed her lips in a firm line and released the shadow dagger in favour of pulling her other dagger out and appearing from the shadows in a crouch. One hand had a few fingers splayed to help with her balance, though she still held the dagger.

Blue eyes watched, and she was ready to spring into action.

[Zack Asiv]

And the thing would charge right for her, bringing up one of the pure black blades up to swing down on her. Yelling as it sounded very much as if it was under water.

[Kyrie Blaze]

With an expression that could have mimicked a snarl, Kyrie indeed sprang into action, using her qi to partially coat a blade. His blade would strike metal, first; only if it seemed to be ineffective would her qi move in to reinforce, as she deflected it, darting on spritely feet to the side, letting his own momentum carry his blade passed.

The blonde followed through, moving in through his center to plunge her own mirrored blade - partially coated with qi depending on what happened with the first - to thrust through into its abdomen. Being as she was close she immediately collapsed her shoulder, twisted, and shot herself backwards, down between its legs to roll to her feet.

[Zack Asiv]

The coated blade would work to deflect the blade the momentum carrying the guy past slamming the blade to the ground ripping into the cement like a chizzle through ice, upheaving plates and dirt. twisting slightly he would move so fast it would seem like he flickered once more now standing a few feet away lifting another blade and bringing it down towards Kiyr.

[Kyrie Blaze]

How interesting that coating the blade with her qi worked. But with the flicker came a jolt of alarm. Somewhere part of her mind cried out that something further was wrong. Had David not heard the inhuman shrieks? Had Levi not felt this thing's presence? Had Mathew not sensed the harried movement along the ground? The part of her that had become accustomed to moving and acting in battle simply acted: flinging herself back into a double roll before springing up with her hands on a diagonal, hands and blades fully coated. If she could still see the thing, she would flick a hand out, and the dagger would slash as quickly as she was able to fling it through the air, controlled via her qi.

She could snap it back if need-be, and hopefully she was fast enough to react, regardless.

[Zack Asiv]

Kiyr would be able to jump back, but only barely, as the blade would actually catch her barely, causing a cut on the shoulder. However the thing would flicker again, standing not far off. Just staring at her, opening its mouth to shriek once more.

Kiyr would notice her dagger was able to cut through and cut off one of the guy's arms. A black liquid would seep out and cover the wounded area closing it up.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Resetting herself in a partial crouch, she observed whatever this creature was, one dagger being placed back into her vest to be replaced by only her qi. The other, she left as it was, her qi snapping back and compressing so the dagger was once again within her grasp. Assessing her own injury by rotating her shoulder, she stared the creature down, eyes luminous in the rain, but moreso when the lightning flashed once again.

She blew into action with one of the flashes, using the wall to get behind it, pushing with both legs and extending the dagger coated with her qi to tear through ligaments and tendons on the back of its legs. Succeed or fail, she would regardless try to reset herself by using the dark to phase into shadow, and out along the far end.

[Zack Asiv]

The creature would flicker once again, it was deffinitly unhappy, because when she came out the other suide there would be a black sword coming down on her, but its face coming at her injured shoulder to bite down.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kyrie couldn't quite bite down the sound of pain at the thing's bite, even as she violently threw herself to the side to avoid the blade, and automatically attempted to pull herself back into shadow to free herself.
