Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ranae walked leisurly along a small path, her seeing cane making small tapping noises in the soft untrodden dirt. She slowed to a stop, frowning in concentration. She heard something up ahead munching on something, sitting by the sound of it, but she didnt know who or what it was. She gripped her cane tightly and continued on, ready to draw her sword at any given moment.

(( what she hears is you, josh hehe..and i made a change to my character since the last time we met. Shes blind now.))

((always an honour m'lady))

*his ears picked up a tapping noise, it was coming closer and closer, josh had never really heard this before, but he guessed it was made from some wooden ornament, in any case he didnt like the idea of someone near him not making themselves properly known. he put the bread into his bag and waited listening to the sound, he drew his rapier slowly, and crept into the shadows*

Ranaes eyes narrowed and she smirked. Whatever it was, it couldnt get away from her that easily. Her ears pricked with alertness as she heard the faint noise of leaves brushing against fabric. So it had chosen to hide. She listened intently as the wind blew in the trees, almost making them visible to her. She could detect every tree, every branch, every twig. She silently set down her cane and drew a throwing knive from her shirt. Stepping slowly, she edged to the trees and leapt up on a branch, listening sharply for every move her hostile onlooker would make.

Her vampiric speed, agility, and strength made her almost invincible, however, she was not quite to the level that Lin was. She stopped in her tracks and she bent her knees and pushed off the ground, jumping, and landing on a firm tree branch. From there she followed her senses, until she was practically above the two she smelt. She waited patiently, but she wouldnt be able to wait for too long because of her need for blood.

*an enchanting voice hit him, he was puzzled for a moment as if he had heard the voice somewhere and he was racking his brains to find out where from. he had a mental block and couldnt b sure*
"good enough to know that if you jumped to the branch of your left you have approximately a second before an arrow is in ur leg, but also good enough to know that if u should show yourself, there will be no need for blood shed" *he said this sincerely as fatigue was clearly setting in, he didnt want to fight and was sure if he did engage in combat he would be at a disadvantage*

*now he didnt know if his mind had played a trick on him or if something had moved, he discarded it as his tiredness getting the better of him. he was becoming impatient now, his forearms were burning and veins were popping up from the amount of time he had kept his long bow drawn, a bead of sweat dropped and josh felt his finger slipping. he didnt want to kill an innocent if it was one, so his good nature took over and he aimed his bow at the floor, the arrows shot into the ground and stood upright. josh felt a fool for doing that, but it had put his conciouss at ease, the so called "devil" on his shoulder cursed at josh and told him to b more rutheless, but josh disregarded his sub concious and pulled his rapier once again. he shouldered his bow and held a defensive position as the wind blew in his face wavering his hair*

(( i hope u came out in the open there))

*a woman appeared in front of him out of the shadows of the trees, he recognised her as the woman that had pounced on him a few nights ago, he smiled a relieved smile and exhaled, but he was still trembling from holding the long bow too long, he did as the woman had said and pressed the rapier into the ground, and rested a hand on it*
" it's... u "
