"Yeah, I was with Zais, but if he's evil, I won't be with him any more." Johnny saw the piece of land floating towards them. "What the hell is that.
Johnny saw Iephyra in trouble and rushed to help him, but was cut off by shadow warriors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the Humors got to Iephyra becasue of their size. They threw aside the shadow warriors with ease. "Are you alright?" They asked Iephyra.

Sindri frowned at the Humors. "Insolent pests." he muttered and with a wave of his hand....they caught on fire. The hunters that had gotten thrown aside jumped back with unnatural grace and resumed their attack.
Sindri turned his attention to Johnny. "Fool. Nobody leaves Lord Zais' army. You must die now!" he hissed, sending bolts of dark magic at Johnny.

"I know not of this Lord Zais you speak of," Iyephra said. "But I will not stand here and allow you to take my life so easily. You have obviously underestimated me."
With a flick of the wrist, Iyephra flung his dagger at the hunter in front of him, burrowing deep into his chest. He elbowed the hunter behind him in the stomach and slipped under the swords in front of his neck. He jumped on the first hunter, his feet on his chest and his hands grasping his dagger. He pushed hard and kicked the still-standing hunter to the ground as his bloody dagger slid from the the hunter's heart. Pushing off of the hunter, he spun around in midair and, sheathing his dagger, shot off two arrows at the other hunter, piercing the hunter's thin armor before the first had hit the ground.
He whirled around and strung another arrow, aiming his bow at Sindri.
"Care to try again?" he asked mockingly.

The Humors quickly doused the fire thanks to Quolop.
"Oh, no he did NOT just set us on fire!" Vespi screamed. She set her whip on fire and flew around as a red blur cutting down every last shadow warrior in the town.
but it was not enough, her rage would not be subdued so easily. She flew to the fallen Sindri and repeatedly lashed at this neck with her whip, leaving numerous burns.

Sindri smirked. "Maybe. But I think that they still want to play." he said, looking over Iyephra's shoulder. three more hunters jumped out, swords glinting dangerously. One turned and began running along the wall of one of the ruined houses, flanking Iyephras. As this happened, the other two zoomed foward, dancing in between Iyephra's strikes with practiced ease.
The remaining two hunters who were still hidden, began to throw knives at the guardian.

Vespi was pushed aside by Sindri's strike at Iephyra. The three other Humors rushed to her side to settle her.
"Calm yourself, Vespi." Hiemrall assured her sister. Vespi settled down.
"Now," Quolop said. "We attack as one!" The four readied their weapons.

Johnny was surronded by shadow hunters. No matter how many he struck down, they were still coming. He began to feel overwhelmed.
Just when he thought he would have to tap into his darkness, the Humors arrived. Galro, Vespi, Quolop and Heimrall appeared to assist Johnny.
With their help they successfully repelled the shadow warriors.
"Thank you, my diminutive friends." Johnny bowed at the tiny warriors.
"Aww, it was nothin'!" Vespi gave him a thumbs up.
"I've never seen such creatures as you before, what typ of person are you?"
"We will have plenty to talk abut after this later," Galro said. "But right now Iephyra need our help!"

(firstly...Id like to remind that Shadow Hunters are much more agile and assassin-ish that warriors. Just might want to incorperate that a bit more.)
Sindri turned his attention back to the Humors and Johnny.
"So, you fight together?" he mused in almost an amused tone. "Well then." he vanished, reappearing behind a shocked Vespi.
"Lets take away that togetherness." he hissed, stabbing the hidden blade of his staff into Vespi's spine.

Iyephra tossed his dagger up and grabbed it again, now holding it upside down, then pulled another blade from his belt with a flourish. Crouching down low, Iyephra performed a series of indescribable flips and spins in midair, deflecting the blades hurtling toward him and striking aside the swords of the other two warriors. He landed after several seconds in the air, and jumped again, this time almost ten feet in the air. Throwing his daggers at the two charging hunters, he whipped out his bow and unleashed a volley of arrows at the hunter running on the walls. Slinging his bow over his shoulder, he pulled yet another blade from a sheath under his cloak. This blade, however, was much bigger than the first two. Wielding the sword with both hands, Iyephra fell on top of one of the two charging hunters and buried his sword in the warrior's skull. Pulling his dagger from the hunter, he tossed it again at the other, still-moving hunter, who already had a dagger protruding from his chest.
He turned to face the two hidden hunters, who were still throwing knives at him. He deflected the daggers with his sword, the long blade flashing about so fast that it appeared that the sword did not exist at all. Daggers fell aside to Iyephra's blade, littering the ground with glimmering blades. He approached the two hidden warriors as the other two hunters fell to the ground.

"No!" Heimrall screamed for her sister. Johnny stared in horror at the sight. He bashed the False Shield into Sindri's head, sending him flying away from Vespi.
Vespi fell to the ground, the dagger still lodged in her spine. The rest of the Humors gathered around her. They placed thier hands on her and tried to heal her.
Johnny pounced on Sindri, tapping into his darkness. It flowed up into the True Sword as he slashed wildly at Sindri.

Iyephra heard the cry of the the three remaining Humors and turned to see Vespi fall to the ground. Enraged to see an ally struck down, Iyephra summoned his inherited power over fire and wind. He took a deep breath as he continued to block the daggers with his sword, then, he exhaled a vicious stream of fire. The two remaining hunters were burst into flames and fell to the ground, still smoldering.
Picking up three daggers that lay by his side, he threw them at Sindri and ran at the chaos mage with his sword. He took up his position opposite Johnny. They had Sindri trapped.

Johnny was now fully emersed in darkness, his human mind barely present. The True Sword had become Corrupted like the Beauty Mirror before it.
He let a stream of dark energy flow into Sindri's body, causing extreme pain.

The Humors removed the dagger from Vespi's spine carefully. Her status as an elemental allowed her to heal quickly, but a severed spine was another matter.
The three sibling Humors tried their best to heal their sister.

Sindri chuckled as the darkness spead through him. "Are you stupid?" he shouted in amusment. "I am a SHADOW mage. You are making me stronger with your attacks!" he laughed at Johnny. Sindri raised his staff and muttered something.
Instantly four shadow warriors were summoned. Then Sindri looked over at Iyephra.
"You are quite strong, boy. Quite strong indeed. It's just shame that you didn't know that......well nevermind. It isnt for you to know anyway." he chuckled and began chanting again. A shockwave of shadow energy shot out from Sindri in all directions, blowing back Iyephra, Johnny , the Humors and the injured Vespi.

Johnny's rage subsided and he regained control of himself. He took a defensive stance in front of the Humors. Then he had an idea.
"Uh.. Galro!" He whispered to the wind elemental.
"Yes Johnny?"
"Can you guys get us out of here? Fast?"
"I...Yeas we can, but nothings stopping Sindri from following us..."
"I am. Can you do it?"
Galro thought about it. He turned to Quolop and Heimrall who nodded. "Yes."
"Good." Johnny invoked the power of the False Shield, allowing Him, Iephyra, and the Humors to vanish before Sindri's eyes. A fierce wind blew about them and Galro transported them back to their hidden cave. Johnny dropped the illusion and sat down.

Sindri chuckled as they all fled. "Yesss. Run while you still can." he hissed. He looked over his troops with disdain. Most of the shadow hunters had been slain, leaving two that had bad wounds. Also there were five warriors left.
"Well, it didn't go as I would have hoped he muttered."
"Indeed it didn't." a voice said behind Sindri. The mage whirled around to see Zais standing behind him, an unreadable expression on his face.
"lord Zias!" Sindri cried and dropped to one knee. THe warriors did likewise. Zais scowled.
"Get up. We have work to do here. I want a base set up in this town before the week ends." he said turning to survey the ruins. Sindri bowed and roan off to get to work.
Then Zasi heard a groan. He looked down as saw......Vespi. "It appears.." Zais began. "That in their rush to escape they forgot someone." he gave a dark smirk and bent down towards the injured Humor. He waved his hand over her wound, causing it to close up and make her lose consciousness.
"Take her to the casstle." he barked to a warrior. 'Something tells me that she will be usefull in the future."

In the cave...
"What was that for!?" Iyephra cried. "We have to go back! That town has been around for as long as time itself. Who knows what secrets those shadow numbskulls might uncover?"
He hopped to his feet and dashed out of the cave. But as soon as he left, he skidded to a halt. And looked down.
Thousands of feet below them, Iyephra saw the ever-changing landscape of Imaldtyn. Directly in front of him, clouds floated by and various birds flew around the cave. He looked down again. The cave wasn't attached to any mountain or anything. They were simply hovering thousands of feet in the air.
Iyephra turned around and hobbled back into the cave, his head spinning.
"Then again," he said, "maybe it would be best to wait here a little. The secrets are hidden well enough."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Down in Rhikonyn, Goziad saw the two warriors and their pint-sized friends disappear as he approached the town. That Johnny character is indeed quite strong.
He waited until Sindri and Zais were gone, then moved in toward the center of the city. He looked around at the ruins. He had not done this, but whoever had was quite thorough in their work. He kicked at a chunk of a fallen wall. It crumbled under his touch.
There was much work to be done.

"OH SHIT!" Galro exclaimed.
"What is it?" Johnny asked worriedly. The three uninjured Humors glanced at each other.
"We forgot Vespi..."
"How did you do that?" Johnny wasn't sure whether to be angry or amused. "I mean...how?"
"Well, in the strain of teleporting us, and you two, we neglected to account for Vespi. She usually adds her own power to the group, so..."
"But she's your sister!" Johnny yelled incredulously.
"We've been asleep for thousands of years, okay? We're a little rusty!" Heimrall shouted quite literally in Johnny's face. There were tears running down her face, and Johnny knew to back off.
"Well what do we do now?" He asked.
The Humors could only shake their heads...

"That's it!" Iyephra shouted. "I'm going back down there! Anyone who wants to come with me can, but don't get in my way."
Shoving his sword and daggers back into their scabbards and slinging his bow over his shoulder, Iyephra jumped over the edge of the floating cave. Using his power over wind, he shot huge puffs of wind toward the ground, slowing his fall. He landed just outside the town and saw Goziad in the center, throwing chunks of wall together, and Zais and Sindri off on the other side of the town. He saw a shadow soldier carrying something in his arms. Upon further investigation, he realized it was Vespi.
Iyephra was conflicted: he wanted revenge on Goziad, but he had a commitment to Vespi and his friends. He looked at his Rhikon, then at Goziad, then at Vespi, and back at Goziad. He clenched his fists...
...And made up his mind.
