I am the most powerful mage you will ever meet....
Evangeline raised her eyes. Now this was interesting. "Fine, if you insist. My name is Evangeline Athanasia Katherine McDowell." She said, and smiled, her fangs growing in the phantom world she had created. "Also known as the Dark Evangel." She told him. "Now.... again, where is Takahata, so I can talk to him." She smiled, brushing past Darien. Knowing Takahata, he might be in the wine cellar. Or the training ground. She had lent him this space years ago, and he certainly knew it well enough.
Tremble in fear in front of me.

 Darien nearly froze when he hear her speak her name. Evangeline Athanasia Katherine McDowell. "The Undying Magi. The Puppet Master. The Dark Angel" He breaths became more heavy as he began drawing in more of the natural magic around him. "I do not understand how a legendary renown magi who's reputation is nothing short of breath taking is here of all places!" He looked around once more still unaware of where his friend was. "I have to say it once more Evangeline McDowell, but I do not know where Takahata went to. He did not leave this place, but where he left within here I do not know".
He told her the honest truth, but knowing who she was he was now worried. She had seen hundreds of years of combat, and has ended all who had tried to claim the bounty on her head. He knew he was strong, but against a veteran like the Dark Angel the most he might do if luck was on his side was wound her at most. "I apologize Evangeline McDowell, but I am of no use to you" As he spoke the sand became more heavy almost covering the entire area where he was. He was either ready to protect himself at most or flee as planned. With the sand becoming heavier he had a chance to act on either action without being stupid, and taking on the Dark Angel head on.

Hah. The man was frightened. Selene could smell it on him. Hell even Selene held a degree of respect for Evangeline, having attained her level of power at such an early vampire age. He has almost natural control of his elements...I can pick up he can use many of them too, which is impressive for his age. It usually takes longer than a human can even live on average, to even be able to use all the common elements. She was more curious about his power than she was when first talking to him. Not that she had anything against him to make her want to fight him. But she wanted to take him on, get a measure of what he could do.
Selene disappeared from the roof. There'd be some felt electricity in the air on the other side of Darien, just before Selene actually appeared, hands behind her back and a calm grin on her face. Curiosity was stamped on her face as she looked at Darien. "Don't be so tense, she clearly has no interest in you. Unlike myself. Tell me, Mr. Mortem, how does someone like you gain so much ability in such a short time?"

As Selene placed her hand on Darien's back her hand began to sink within his body. The body was not true at all, but was completely false. The head began to turn completely back staring at Selene with no empty eyes. "Caution, and Wisdom can only lead us mortals to become so strong. Still only a reflection of what timeless training entities like the Dark Angel now, and yourself " The split second he spoke the sand burst around them blowing all the way to Eva.
When the sand settled a rock hard form of sand began to come from the center where the sand clone stood. As it broke Darien was in the middle of it, but something was different. His Amber like wolf eyes became solid red as a dark red flame surrounded him. His markings glowed bright red as he stared at Selene now sure of his assumptions. "I knew you were much more then a pretty face". He began to walk where Eva was, and stopped. He looked at her with his fire wolf eyes,and bowed to her. "Your reputation alone of the endless men you have slain does frighten me". As he spoke he spoke lightly in whisper as another burst of energy took over his body.
"Dark Angel I do not wish to fight you. I know I do not stand a chance, but know this I will only fight in self defense. I may be afraid, but I at least can admit to my own emotions. Just because I am afraid of you does not mean I will not surrender without a fight". The moment he stopped speaking he clinched his fist as a heat began to come from his concentrated flame."Ελάτε μαζί όλεθρο! Τίποτα είναι η διαδρομή μου τύχη!" During the time he was hidden talking to Eva he had chanted Three spells delayed spells, and was ready to use them. "Μελωδία της μάχης! φωτιά προστατεύω!" As the first spell Melody of battle took over it twisted with his spell blazing protector a flame shield that surrounded the body. "Θεία σπαθί ταχύτατοι ανάφλεξη!" After he spoke once more a concentrated flame took over both his entire lower arms as they became large claymores. Still based on how long he was within the sand he might have had more time to chant a delayed spell or two. Τραγούδι της μάχης "Song of Battle" A form of physical reinforcement used by a mage in preparation for close combat. Aside from providing a long-lasting anti-physical shield, this magic also exponentially increases muscle tension, allowing greater power, speed and endurance; it also increases the flexibility of muscles and tendons to prevent the mage damaging himself from overexertion. In addition, the mage’s reflexes are enhanced by a moderate increase in the stimulation of the nervous system. Μελωδία της μάχης "Melody of Battle" ( being used ) A more advanced form of Song of Battle used to achieve extremely high agility by supplying mana to all parts of the body. "Αφήστε τη θέλησή μου να λάμψει κατευθείαν! Καψτε τον αντίπαλό μου στο έδαφος!" "Let my will shine trough! Burn My opponent to the ground!" The user moves the arm in a slashing movement, sending a midsized wave a consuming fire at their opponent. When used in combination with "Divine Sword of Blazing Conflagration" the wave becomes massive, and the flame itself becomes razor sharp like a blade. "ας my θα λάμψω διαμέσου! μεγάλος εμένα έναs φωτιά προστατεύω!" "Let my will shine through! Grant me a blazing protector!" Forms a flaming barrier around the user and, any other intended target's. Not only does the barrier provide excellent defense, but it provides excellent offense when making physical contact with opponents. The barrier can also be broken to produce a mid range shock wave to attack surrounding opponents. Ανοίξτε το εννέα κλειδαριές και παρατίθενται προέρχονται από την αιώνια φλόγα των Άδης! Εγγραφή μου εχθρούς σε στάχτες και σας φόβο με φλόγα σας! Θεία σπαθί ταχύτατοι ανάφλεξη "Open the nine locks, and come forth from the eternal flame of Hades! Burn my enemies into ashes, and spread your fear with your flame! Divine Sword of Blazing Conflagration!" A spell which summons a giant flaming pillar-shaped sword covering the user's entire lower arm. Wielded to cover the entire space around them in close range fighting with a intense flame either hurting the enemy with a direct strike or from the flames surrounding them.

((I'm gonna work around the hand thing since that's not where her hands were in the first place))
Selene remained where she was even seeing that it wasn't the real Darien. She glanced at Darien, and smirked. "Nearly all women are more than pretty faces. But I'm glad you recognize that." She commented. She wasn't going to intrude. At least not until Evangeline made her intentions about the current situation clear. She seemed more interested in this Takahata fellow Selene had seen sneaking off. "I don't know what your assumptions are of me, but I've had plenty of people assume things about me, both wrong and right." She said, half to herself as she watched Evangeline and Darien interact. Selene wasn't sure how Evangeline would react, but if he kept pushing for a fight, she'd either brush him off or give him a fight.

Darien was stuck looking into the eyes of the Dark Angel, but he did hear what she had to say. His bright fiery red eyes were locked looking into the eyes of a legend. As he stared into her eyes his eyes were now the same as the vampire. His eyes no longer appeared human at all, but like one of her own kin. Something lost in sleep, but starting to awaken to its own power. His breaths became heavier once more as he was inhaling the energy around him as the flames around his body began burning brighter, and more ferocious then ever. As he stood staring at the Dark Angel Evangeline his hands began to emit a separate energy from one another as if he was going to launch two separate attacks.
At that moment a sharp glare came from his eyes as he pierced into Evangeline's eyes. That stance was the same Takahata used, and now Evangeline had a solid answer why Takahata, and him were in here for several days in the Resort's timeline. He clapped his hands together immediately as the raw energy began to clash. As his energy crossed a unstable wave of energy began to pour from his hands as the flames around hm began to whip around out of control. The incantation for his Melody of battle, and his Blazing protector began to distort getting swept into the massive lose energy Darien was fighting to stabilize.
A flash of light, and a massive wave of flames shoot up as if the ground below them erupted. As the smoke, and lose flames began to fade Darien was standing silently. The Flame Claymores on his hands were completely gone, but Darien's goal was a success. As he stood his first two incantations were still stable, but now he had a faint light coming from his body clashing with the flames around his body. The Kankaho was a success, but only a very small portion of it was actually stabilized. Even so it was one more power up that could hopefully have him survive The Dark Angel if she assaulted him.

 Takahata walked out from behind Selene clapping his hands loudly after Darien finished his incomplete Kankaho. He smiled lightly at Evangeline as he walked to the open "Sorry Eva for hiding! I just wanted to see him in action for a moment!". He clapped once more to Darien walking now more to him taking a good look at the Kankaho he used. "Usually most people who are human like us often run in fear of Eva. Not only did you stand your ground, and lock eyes with her you managed to actually use the Kankaho on the first try!" After he spoke he shook his head thinking about his errors. "I am glad your not like most people, and ran in fear. Still You used to much raw magic to try to hold your Kankaho in union".
He still kept his smile on him despite the failure. "Still getting just the basis of it on the first shot was impressive. Using in in combination with your first two delayed incantations was a risky move, and might be the reason why you could not stabilize it. Still using it like that is something even I did not consider". After he was done speaking he smiled once more to Eva as he took off Darien Backpack opening it to reveal various imported wines, and alcohol he knew she was dying to get her hands on. "wanted to talk to me Eva? Care to have a seat, and have a drink with me?" He pulled out one he knew was one of her personal favorites which was unopened as he smiled shaking it at her. "I got these just for you. There are some other things gift I know you enjoy in your home also".
He was speaking so friendly to Eva which was a shock to Darien, and maybe even a surprise to Selene. As he walked to where Eva was he opened the bottle she wanted, and gave it to her immediately knowing she would want the first taste before anyone. After he gave her the bottle he smiled to Darien, and Selene as he shook the contents of the bag which had even more imported wines, and alcohols. "Some on up! Drinking alone with Eva is fine with me to be honest, but the more the merrier!"

Darien stared at Takahata, and listened to what he had to say. He was right he tried to hard to keep his current incantations going along with his Kankaho. He succeed in doing so, but in doing so his Kankaho was barely stable as it is. Still as he also said in half a week within the resort it was still a accomplishment coming from the master of that technique. He stared at Evangeline once more with all his incantations still active. As the flame passed him, and he stared into her eyes with his Fiery red demon like eyes he closed them as the flames around his body began to fade away slowly. The blazing protector was the first to dispel, and then the Melody of battle. As the first two faded the glow from his body with the Kankaho began to glow brighter.
His raw new technique was more power since his focus was no longer divided, but even so the power was very far from complete. As he opened his eyes once more the fiery red gaze within them faded away as his eyes were once more a bright rich like amber. The Kankaho had now also faded completely from his body as well as he returned to normal. As he walked to where Takahata, and Evangeline were he went though the bag to pick something for himself to enjoy. As he shuffled though the bag he found a pack of smokes he bought before hand which were the same brand Takahata enjoyed. He pulled out a couple for himself, and slid him the rest of the pack to enjoy. As he slipped the smokes in his pocket he stared at Selene wondering if she would be joining them as well.

I am the most powerful mage you will ever meet....
Evangeline sat down next to Takahata, taking a glass and drinking the alcohol that Takahata and provided. Nodding her approval she looked at Takahata, and began to speak. "So, Takahata, what brings you here?" She asked, not beating around the bush. She really didn't want anyone in here without her permission. But lately it seemed that this place was being violated by the number of people who came in here. Maybe she should just seal it off again and lock it away. That would deal with the problem.
Tremble in fear in front of me.

Selene sighed. "Oh, you lot aren't enough fun for an old spirit like me." She said within her sigh, before shrugging it off and joining the others. Why not. She accepted a glass of wine as Evangeline began questioning the Takahata fellow. Perhaps she'd fight another day. It'd been entirely too long since she tested to see if she was still as on her toes as she kept Ayumi in. Granted, that former vampire was a regular wolf demon now, by whatever scientific miracle that Cirus fellow managed, so Ayumi was no longer Selene's concern. That was just her. As soon as her four century student was no longer tied to her, since Selene had been her forced sire, Selene took the first opportunity to drop responsibilities of her. She could take care of herself anyway, and hopefully that other girl who hung around her so often. Still, perhaps she could stop by their dorm and visit sometimes, just to scare the poor girl.

Takahata laughed lightly at what Selene had said. "Trust someone who will be long dead before you actually begin to even feel old. When fighting endlessly you will praise the simple days like these where to drink with new friends, and allies. Even those like Eva, and yourself can not fight forever right?". As he spoke he took out the pack of smokes Darien gave him as he lit one up.He walked to Eva, but still kept a distance not to blow his smoke anywhere near her face. "Well Eva I had a favor to ask of you" He knew she did not like beating around the bush at all so got to the point. "...Sorry let me rephrase that...I got two favors to ask of you..."
He walked to Darien,and patted his back hard,and smiled at him. "You saw he got my technique down on the first try right? Might have been not fully stable, and not even at full power I admit. Still within just four days in here is impressive to say the least". As he patted Darien once more hard, and tossed his finished smoke he walked to Eva with a serious face. "My first favor is to have him train here from now on. I might be with him a few times, but I plan on leaving him alone after that". Darien was suprised at what he said thinking they would train together. He was about to speak out, but Takahata held out his hand asking him though gesture to remain silent.

As Darien heard what Takahata requested he was in complete shock. He was about to say something, but as Takahata held out his hand asking him to be silent though his actions he choose to respect his decision. He looked still confused, but had a feeling why he was asking this much already. "...Takahata...is this about my oth-". As he spoke Takahata gave him a sharp stare asking him to no longer speak. He wanted to know why, but that glare Takahata gave him begging him to remain silent especially with what he was about to ask. Darien simply bowed his head, and crossed his arm over his chest like he was a Knight showing he would obey his friends request.
He remained completely silent out of respect, and took a step back allowing his short time mentor to talk to Eva about his request. He thought the resort itself was wonderful, and much could be learned in so little time. Still the facts this belonged to the Dark Angel of legend was overwhelming. He was frightened of the thought of all the stories behind her, but as he looked at her something was telling him there was reason. She was a vampire, and to most people still stuck in the old ways they saw vampires as enemies.
True she may have killed many people, but what choice did they leave her? He though how many foolish men tried to hunt her, and they tried to kill her. He would have done the very same if people were hunting him like he was some grand trophy. As he stared at Takahata talk to Eva he looked at her sincere like he learned something very important about her. As she saw him all he did was lower his head to her in respect. Whatever choice she made he would respect, and obey regardless if it did not benefit him. He had enough time alone to get the basis of the new technique. Even if she said no he would do his best to use what normal time he had to perfect it in his own ways.

((Murr, Selene didn't get what she came here for, and I clearly see no reason for her to stay, so I'm just gonna have her go))
Selene sighed as she set the remainder of her wine down. "As much as I'd like to stay and listen to your chat, wine does not replace my need for real blood. So I bid you three adieu." She said, waving her fingers in a small wave of goodbye before turning away. She needed to go find something or someone to feed on, she knew that much. Perhaps she could hypnotize another student like she did to that green haired glasses-wearer in her dorm room last time. Of course, the gray haired one didn't seem to care. Strange students, but oh well.

Takahata smiled at Eva as he poured himself his first, and very last glass of wine which was still very small. He stared at Eva as he raised his glass to her, and took a single light sip. He took a moment to savor the fine taste slowly allowing it go down his throat to appreciate the flavor one last time. In that single sip the wine itself he had was already gone as he placed the glass down. "Eva if you say yes then my second request is this if you say yes. I would also like it if he stayed here if you instead of staying with me until he prefects that technique".
As he picked up his glass to stare at it he pointed it at Darien who he knew was shocked about his request. "Eva did you know his father worked along side Nagi, and the others including myself during the war? After the war when his father passed on Nagi spent time with the boy not only showing him how to fight, but tried left him many mementos before he left". He looked at Dairen, and smiled at him "That "cheat sheet" he used to chant his high level spells, That medal he got after the war because he said it was "way to tacky",and of course that robe he wore after they won the war. Still tattered, and stained with the original blood he lost during the fight".
As he stared at Eva after telling her the things he had that once belonged to Nagi he held his empty wine glass to her. "Aside form that his lineage from his mother would be interesting to you. He comes from a native tribe known as "Nature speakers". They are said to harness their raw, and powerful magic directly from the earth itself. Not only is their magic itself strong, but their very life itself is said to be enriched". As he looked back to Darien he shook what little red wine was still in his glass pointing to him. "For a vampire like yourself who feeds on blood it makes you wonder how rich someone like his life giving blood would taste".

Dairen looked at Takahata as he began telling Eva about all his belongings that were once the thousand masters,and wondered why. He did not think so much about it, but when he heard him telling Eva about his lineage, and how he might taste to her he gave Takahata a bizarre look. He was wondering what was he doing. Was he trying to get him to be the Dark Angels frequent new favorite midnight snack?! He looked at Takahata, and Eva for a moment silent.
"Please excuse me, but I need to be excused as of now. I been here for some time, and wish to walk within the normal flow of time for a moment." He bowed once more in respect to the Dark Angel Eva, and gave her a gentle smile. True she was a dangerous legend, but after spending some time with her he was pleased to see this more gentle side of her. He slightly hit Takahata's shoulder as he made his way back to the summoning circle. As the light itself passed him he faded from the Resort returning to the cabin. [ exits ]
