the smell of rotting corpse filled the field of where a battle had begin not more then a week ago. it was finish just as suddenly as it had started to him, the smell of blood and upturned soil was all one could smell. tokara had quite the facial fuzz going on as he was neglecting to clean up with a rub of his right hand on the sand paper like stubble he looked upon the ground and kicked the skull of a demons thats flesh rotted away faster then it should have. "vile thing, if it was a better quality of bone I could use this." spoke while he crushed a rib cage of said beast. his left arm was in a sling to allow it to heal, during the war his shield cannon had gotten the better of him and broken his shoulder. With the lack of real armor he couldn't has the cannons recoil displaced as well as it could have been.
He wandered the field collecting anything of use from fallen warriors swords to the very armor on a dead corpse he took it off them often taking from dead who where obviously well respected. "well this could come in handy." upon approaching another dead body he looked at a small dagger in the boot of a humanoid creature. tokara was doing some thing that was often frowned upon in his world looting the bodies of the dead. taking the dagger he looked it over and the threw it back in the the body of the dead being it belonged to just to watch it snap upon contact with a plate of the beings armor. "Trash, just a decoration piece no wonder you died, if this is the quality of weapon here." he let out a light chuckled as he found himself a seat on the back of a dead demon looking at the city he had fallen into. "out of 15 bodies only found 5 with decent enough armor to be even worth remelting down." all of the armor he had collected was stained red with blood and was all being dragged on a length of rope tied together like a fishermen's set of buoys. the large man was closing his eyes as his bare torso showed his years of scars from many battles. he was letting out a surge of pain with his breath the very concept of breathing caused pain to shoot through his body from his shoulder.

The dead were not alone here, though everyone said there was isolation in dying. The scene was hard to look at nearly Making Brush nauseous as she picked her way around all the bodies of human, demon, corrupted, and creature, some so jumbled in piles that she could not tell who was what. Closing her eyes for just a moment, Brush shaped a little magic into a locating spell, the function was simply to see if anyone was still alive.
There were, buried among the other corpses. she found a lanky soldier groaning on the ground, barely able to remain conscious. She could tell he wasn't going to live. She felt soiled shaping the killing spell that would save the man more hours of misery from a wound no healer she knew or read about could mend, but she did so, muttering in an older form of the dragon tongue, 'safe travels to the next life'
She had to do symilar for some of the others she encountered. Many were not able to be saved. The few that were, she put time and effort in, drawing magic from the environment to shape the spells, and using medicines made by others to help. Not many would be brought out to live this way. many of the wounded who looked less dead had already been brought to the infirmaries. There were not many others out here who were willing to see if anything could be done for those as good as dead.
There was a life here, based on brush's spell's info, which was a healthy man in comparison to all these dead and near dead who she couldn't even save. Approaching proved that he was not healthy, but somehow still up and moving about. She encountered a soldier missing some armor near by, and as the long furry dragon approached she put the evidence together. "Have you no respect for the dead?" she chided without preamble, "stealing the articles from these people, Shameful." she considered contacting someone about the matter, but didn't want that kind of attention to form.

the man looked up from the pain of his shoulder to look at what looked like a long fuzzy dog to him. what ever it was spouted off about his looting of the dead as she cracked a smile. "you know i hunt things three times your size and skin them alive." he said as more of a threat but he stood up and pointed upwards. "there not going to need it where there going. so honestly its a waste to leave good equipment to rust and rot on a body already dead." his views was twisted as he grabbed a hold of the roped up gear he dropped to a knee feeling the pain in his shoulder it was black and blue and swollen, showing his shoulder was very badly injured. "gah,,,, fucking bone's" he spoke very disgruntle as he stood back up dragging the gear almost like an undertake collecting the body of the dead he collected the armor.
as he walked away from the Lilith like dragon he stopped over a beast like creature of common build to brush and he feels the fur of it and looked it over. "mmm fine scales, lush fur.... make a nice coat." he kicked it to see if it was dead. it twitched in pain from the kick. "gah its still alive.." he drops the armor and looks around and pulls out a knife. he dropped the knife from the pain in his shoulder. "OOO wraith of the titians this hurts worse then Imussa lectures." the man was struggling to get the knife once again but just sat back. "oh you live for now beast but i'll be back for that hide..." he just grabbed the gear and slung it over his right shoulder. he turned Back looking at brush having given up on killing the beast to skin it for its hide. "heres some advice, the only one you should worry about is yourself. Because when the chips are down and your alone.... no ones going to come to your aide." he said struggling to stand because of the pain. but his will to keep moving to pick over the battle field for more spoils.

Brush was pretty fearless to such threats. She'd stood up to dragons the size of mountains a few times. It might seem foolish, but she cared for her ideals a bit more than her own safety. Stupid as it might sometimes seem, she would stand up for things she believed were right within some of the most uneven odds. "Burials, Families. These people left others behind, therefore their stuff belongs either to their descendants or their State." she meant state in the same meaning as country. Stuff mass made by the state for the soldiers was less likely to be missed. The warriors could end up being buried in it even, but the things they had valued, family heirlooms, weapons or armor they had gotten custom made, That stuff should not ever be finders keepers. Upset, she followed Tokara.
When she saw him study a creature not unlike herself, who was still alive, and then talk about using it for parts, Brush did not hesitate to fling a rock at Tokara. "Get away from them." she growled. It was still alive, and better yet she was pretty sure this one could be saved. She was quick to stand over the victim, glaring at the pilferer, while she prepared the magic to try and restore the creature. It was far from the same species, but as soon as she saw the moment, she worked the magic to restore it so that it could stand and get away, and so not end up as a pelt for this terrible person.
"If that's what you're used to, a place where no one helps anyone else, then you've been very unfortunate." She noted firmly. This had sort of been her life, living in a group which had been very open to those in need, often not even for their own benefit. More of that was how things ought to be.

tokara looked at her. "look puppy dog I don't have time to deal with whats moral. I've got a sword to find. the sooner i find it the sooner i probably can go home. have a hot cup of uncle festers spiced hard cider.." he stopped a sat the gear down as sat on it. "meet mother and father again... next week was our family gathering.... Fallabellas gonna kill me if i don't get back in time for that." he was breathing heavy showing sighs of trouble breathing the bones in his shoulder where no where near ready for such movement he was doing. cracking them a little there was a audioabl sound of bones moving in his shoulder even brush would be able to heat it snap into place. "bloody Farka the hell what was the rune for bones... been healed enough tokara you think you remember or pick up on that bloody rune." he took a look at the creature running away that was healed by the dragoness. "hey i was going to use that......" he stood up to face her the man stood tall bloody and brursed all over he looked in no fighting condition. "now what am i going to eat? leaves?" he was staring her down and looked over her and breathed out some frosty air from his nose making it look like smoke. "if it wasn't for imussas rule of ~don't kill a dragon with speach~ you and me would be scuffling little puppy dog." his magic was starting to get potent with his anger like it was fueled by rage but his magic was still weaker but was the same as the one that had over loaded her senses once before. his back was to her as he threw his good arm in to the air. "No tokara you couldnt be wisked of to a land of maidens and ale you get wisked off to the land of large furry beast trying to teach you about morals." he waves his hands in a magical way as he spoke to himself. "first it was the large fire lizard now a overgrown eel." he was going on and on as he walked away well aware brush could hear his every word. "but first tokara we been to find that bloody meat sack that brought you to this mineral poor wasteland." he was talking like a mad man to himself quite honestly aurguing with himself in some points it would seem. maybe it was the intense pain from his should that was causing it.

Brush glared at Tokara. "That" she emphasized that she was using a word which he had used. "Is a person, not an object, and Persons are not to be used for food nor parts. you're right next to a city, you can buy or do honest work for food. And as a matter of fact, there are lots of leaves that are edible even to humanish-kinds." She didn't seem afraid of Tokara, Though even if Tokara was inclined to fight there was a chance that brush would refuse to exchange blows. She fought more with words, or defensive actions than offensive ones.
Indeed with her sensitive hearing, he could have been whispering but brush would have been able to hear what Tokara said at this sort of distance. She followed him still. "Look, I see you're inclined to abase just about anyone you meet, but even so I'm inclined to to not just leave you. "Look, you want baseless pleasure, just go to the city's Red light district. You want information, try the library or the academy. At least there, you could find maps, and maybe people who are willing to help you with magic if you actually start being nice." Brush's abilities could have even been useful to tokara. Give her enough information about where he came from and she knew how to get to other worlds from this one. If not for the fact that she didn't want him to use his strength to further degrade the battlefield or other beings in the land, she could have started mending his bones. seeing as he seemed a force closer to evil compared to her high morals, she wasn't so inclined. He'd just seen her heal someone so Tokara probably could guess that she could if she wanted mend him.

The moment brush mentioned tokara to be nice he leaned his head back with a brow cocked up with a really look. "look here i'm not know for being Nice... actually i'm not know for any thing other then my skirt chasing antics and my brute strength. but heres an idea.... you heal me and go recon for me in the town and i wont pillage any more body's." while bringing a finger up pointing to his broken shoulder. after all he could tell she was a mender of some level to bring that creature back to life after all it was close to dead. he was still looking at her with that look of not impressed. "after all i'm not liked much in the city as far as i can tell and i don't want to win over any ones false affection. I'm me and that's who i wanna be. so deal snake dog? you heal me and get some information for me and i wont tear this battle field apart and take the dead belongings." it was a good offer after all even brush might note that his changes in personality could end him getting less info that he needed.

The look on the dragon's face made it clear that she wasn't biting that offer. in fact she was completely unimpressed. "Look, you want a pet to do work like that, find a real dog. I might, heal you, I might even be willing to show you where to go, but you have to do your own recon." she emphasized the word might by speaking that word slightly louder than the rest, and pausing slightly before saying the words following. She was really iffy on if she'd choose to help him that much even. Brush's attitude was usually more laid back, but Tokara, being a personality against most of her values, meant she was definitely not gonna play doggie and roll over on request.

tokara took her agression and flared back with his own, kicking the large bunched up metal quite strongly showing this man could still fight if needed. "Bah who needs you any way! your like a snifling worm. caring feelings BAH! you wouldn't last 5 days in my shoes and that's giving you some credit." he took a stance like he was ready to fight her flexed his arms even though his broken shoulder shot pain threw him his arm still attmeded to function only fall to his side. but tokaras agression soon quickly shifted to being passive as some children went by searching for parents or for any wounded searching small placed where some adults could not squeeze in to. Young might they be tokara actually went from being angry to a slight smile even in the grim state of things. he looked sharply at brush and waved his good arm at her as if waving off the aggression as if to wash his hands of the situation. "Not in front of them." he shift is arm around so his broken limb was supported in his back pocket so it could not move. he left the armors he had collected there forgetting about it as seeing the sight even innocents has a job in this world. the large man started to walk off when suddenly there was a large spike of magic, even tokara could feel this as he looked ahead of him stood a women with a scroll. "you bitch! you're the one who brought me here!" tokara yell his aggression drove him to attempt to attack the women as a she lifted her and and the spike of magic appeared again but from the bracelet on her wrist and the large man was shot past brush thrown a crossed the ground as he screams out in pain from landing on his shoulder.
"how do you still live! I sent you here plummeting to the ground you should be dead! Great looks like i have to get my hand dirty after all." The women stood around 5 feet tall much shorted but she just threw tokara crossed the field like a rag doll. but it was not her it was a burst of magic from the colorful bracelet of jewels around her wrist that where soon covered up by the frills on her sleeves. she wore quite the attire almost like a maid in looks but the cloth was.. odd as if it was pulsing magic its self. "You're reign over lymphae will come to an end this day!" The women would begin her approach to the wounded giant of a man laying on the ground struggling to sit up, his shoulder almost looking collapsed in from the bones breaking more. he sits up and looks at the blonde and black haired women. "you're going to need more the a wind-pulse to end me." tokara said with a grunt feeling the magic this women held it was quite strong. the wounded giant breathed out through his nose releasing some fog as his started to make the air more frigid.

So he cared about children hmm? Brush could argue with that point. "if its things you don't want kids to see, stuff like what you've been doing makes what they have to see worse in the end." she noted sadly. "you might think like, oh if they didn't see it they're still fine, but things ripple back. Some of the people who died, they are mothers or fathers, or beloved older siblings. We can' even hide the deaths from them, because those family members, won't come back again."
Brush was going to go over to the kids, see if she could help them out and maybe even cause some join in the midst of their pain, but something else, a spike in the magic in the area caught her attention.
She ended up witness to the conflict. There was something deep here between these two. Brush thought of tokara as kind of evil, but this woman, she might be pretty evil as well. it was very tempting to just get in between and tell that woman to just take Tokara home so Eokia didn't have to deal with him any longer, but that would be spiteful, and brush wouldn't do that. In this case there was no obvious innocent victim except for...
The children. They would be the most in danger if things escalated. She went over to the kids. "hey lets get out of here, before you guys get caught in the middle of a fight." she encouraged, pointing out the two to the children, and the tense atmosphere in the air. "you'll have to keep searching later, I'm sorry."

the women looked at him with a stirn look feeling the ice magic coming from tokara. "Your ice magic won't work on me I've been trained to counter your every move. Your Gelid field, your sword, even your Dragon hunter cannon I know every move to counter. Your a old husk of a man with no trick left." then she began taking a sword out of a subspace which was a burst of magic in its own right. the blade was thin and sharp more like a over sized needle. the sword produced a foul feeling magic as puprle runes glowed on the silver blade. the woman's face starts to grow lines as if she was inked in a tribal tattoo but really it was magical energy being channeled through her body in a way that allowed her body to bend the very space around her. it was a kind of force field
tokara would laugh as he watched as this women get fired up. struggling to get up the air and ground begins to grow cold. "really now... you know every countermove.. damn you must really.." he stumbled back the arm had bones jutting out of his skin as he stood up blood rolled down the useless limb. "Hate me or your some ones lackey who hates me." grunting as the bones that where broken made it hard to breath. as he gained his foots getting up he stood looking at the women not taking his eyes off her, as it was her magical prowess was far beyond any thing he had seen in years. the blade she held he knew all to well, it was a legendary weapon lost to time, known for its dark magic know as the nercolegion, tokara had only herd rumors about it in taverns as old wizards spouted off half drunk on some spiced rum and smooth whisky. the sword was made by a necromancer the magic in the blade was like a dark poison, it would attach its self to the dead and allow the one wielding it to command army's with little effort.
the women walked over a body on the ground and slashed it. moving ahead towards her target as the body begun to rise and stand its eyes devoid of live an replaced with swirling black magic. "your strength and determination are your two traits that even scare my leader. for this i will ease you and leave him nothing to fear." as she walked slashing more dead the battle field was full of dead and her sword aloud her to control of them much like a conductor for an orcistra.

As the woman approaches Tokara with her rising force of undead a crackling sound can be heard rapidly approaching. It is soon accompanied with a bright burst of light. What appears to be a streak of electricity racing towards her, bolts suddenly arc off the main burst, striking the armored undead and disrupts whatever hold she had held on them. The core of the blast of electricity streaks right towards her head. Oddly enough this main burst of electricity doesn't seem to be effected by the surrounding metal and is on a straight, unerring course.
(You know why this is a short post Tokara, future ones will be longer.)

Brush saw to it that the children were making a firm get-away before she turned and saw what the attacking woman was doing. She dare defile the dead in this way. Brush was furious. The slender dragon had been going to act to free the undead, but someone had acted before her in that. Brush would have actually been more brutal in her freeing of them. She should be thankful that she didn't have to do that.
Brush spun, whipping the wind to her will, turning it into a nearly invisible arrow, which once it reached the woman, would burst into multiple cutting blades, swirling around her in different directions.
This attack was followed by another magic, one which brush didn't like but one she deemed necessary for the situation. She cut into the fabric of time and space so that she might force everyone living who had become involved in this conflict away from the battle field, and all the dead there, and to another place, still within Eokia, where no more corpses would be near enough to be defiled by the woman's magic.

the women had little time to react to the sudden crackling bolt of lighting fired right at her, with a sudden bust of speed aide by magic she blinked 5 feet away from the shot only to have another attack home in on her which was the wind. magical wind perfect she though as a gem around her neck absorbed the pure magic inside the wind the light of magic filling her with more magical power the lines on her face grew more vibrant as if like a florescent fish in the sea trying to catch pray. the blades of wind became more of a subtle breeze thanks to her gem. while All of her undead minions connections where severed from her because of the arching bolt she nearly avoided some of her hair was singed as she narrowly avoided the bolt. but no sooner that she finished the recoil from avoiding and absorbing so many spells a dementinal spell was used, how could she tell? well it left a funny taste in her mouth that forced her to lick the inside of her cheek and teeth. she turned to who fired the bolt of lightning now as she was with out corpses to use the sword on she would have to take the life of some one as to find a meens to take on her target. "You should fear death, fore i'm its attendant." she said the magic weaved in her free hand was now a solid blade of light, high concentrate at that. For now her main goal was to take out what seemed the largest threat, the dragon like being only increased her power, it would be a very useful to keep alive tell she was needing the extra boost.
Tokara was trying to keep up with every thing going on but the only thing that caught his attention the most was direction that the bolt of lightning came from he was wondering if he was seeing things or going mad with the pain shooting through out his body. "this is ether just a really bad dream or some ones paying some debuts." was all he said holding his head down dropping his guard a little now was the perfect moment to do so, and regain his composure from the pain.

Her magic wasn't working. This was something new to her. Brush's techniques were generally rather strong so even if someone had the same element as herself they usually had an effect. Her attacks were also partially physical. At least they had gotten away from the corpses, so that was something to be thankful for.
Someone else had used electricity. Maybe, just maybe that would work better. To be honest, whatever the woman was using to absorb magic, was what brush really wished to target, she just wasn't sure how to do that unless she used some convoluted magic to ensure her's couldn't be absorbed. Unfortunately brush was stuck with trying to attack with magic as she wasn't a physical attacker.
Or she ought to hold off. She had assured that the dead on the battlefield before could not be used, plus this wasn't her fight. Tokara and the woman were both evil from her point of view, plus there was this new attacker who had brought the lightning who might not be a friend. She was decided. she would hold off on any further involvement. Brush moved around the border of the fight quickly, keen to observe and gather more information instead of act for the time being.
