Welcome to Gaia! ::

His glow immediately stopped, and he caught the stake in one hand, pulling out his sword with the other. He slipped silently to the wall, hiding behind a display.

Shale jumped out at the beast, swinging with deadly precision. The beast swung at him, glancing his shoulder, but Shale merely ignored it and plunged his blade into the beast. The creature had a perplexed look on it's face, as Shale began to glow, the light flowing up the sword and into the monster. Beams of light began to shoot out of it. As more and more shot out, Shale glowed brighter and brighter, and in the back it starting shaping to form wings. His black hair turned white, and bright armor with holy symbols spread across it. The monster howled to the heavens as the light pierced him all over until he finally exploded in a flash of light, ashes drifting to the ground.
As the light faded away, Shale seemed to turn back to normal, save for the burn on his arm being gone. He swayed with exhaution and fell forward.

((Sorry, sometimes I have a hard time updating...))

Jenny emerged from the shadows then, before being too shocked by Shale's display to move from the shadows she immediately found as a hiding place.

"Heh...well, that was quite an impressive display..." she said, finally getting her voice back. "Are you okay?" she asked Lunelvere, adding her question in as she helped roll Shale off of her to one side.

Suddenly reaching for her little canvas pouch, she manuevered her fingers inside to bring out a small crystal of green agate. Closing her eyes and holding it to her chest, a small glow was emitted from her enclosed palm and she set the now-glowing crystal to Shale's forehead, letting the light attempt to envelop him. Jenny spoke in an odd language then, beautiful and sad at the same time.

"Ahhhh....hopefully, that will help him recover," she finally spoke after the incantation, opening her eyes and letting the crystal's light die down before taking it off of Shale. "Green agate is always good for healing exhaustion, physically and mentally. I just hope that that was what his problem was..."

He stirred, letting out an exhausted groan.
"Oh, man, what hit me?" He suddenly shot up, quickly glancing around.
"What happened? Where'd that thing go?"

She doubled over, being knocked over by Shale getting up. "At least I didn't need to give mouth-to-mouth...ew" Lunelvere muttered. "But yeah. I think you actually killed it." She looked over her shoulder and shivered. "Geez, it's cold!" She stood up. "Where's my..." She looked down. "Oh yeah." Lunelvere stopped shivering and pulled out her flute. She wove a harmonic melody into the air, entering Shale and Jenny's minds. "Playing flute helps calm my nerves."

Jenny calmly listened to Lunelvere's flute-playing. She always liked the sounds of reed instruments for some reason...

"Yeah, I believe that surge of power is both what knocked you out and killed whatever the hell that creature was," she slowly explained to Shale. "It was an amazing display, Shale--I've never seen anything quite like it."

Jenny would poke Shale to see if he was out of it. Definitely, he was.

"Hey, Lunelvere, why don't we leave Shale to his thoughts and go explore the rest of this place?" she commented.
