((This thread involves Aku, Amadues, potentially Malice, and the Kishu. If anyone else wants to join PM Andy Jammer or Enzio so one of us can work you in))
The Witch's forest was cursed. Or so the stories say, which span farther back than anyone could recall. Back then they were only rumors, but after the death of Lilith and Malice, the rumors became stories and soon warnings were made. No one but the bravest and strongest should ever enter these woods...
...The two mysterious shadows may not have known the stories, but they certainly fit the bill of strong. As they appeared at the edge of the wood their aura could almost be felt for seconds...before it suddenly faded. Not only were these men strong...they knew how to hide their strength too.

(Thanks again for making this thread earlier than expected)
Roxa was heading back from his short campaign with the Allorum Guardians alongside Riliath and Gensayce, the three of them were going back to Roxa's home in God's Garden where he had promised his friends some food and a cold drink but suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks "What's wrong?" Gensayce enquired "We're not alone" Roxan said bluntly unsheathing both of his swords and looking around "Whoever's here... They're unbelievably powerful..." The experienced warrior was on full alert, his blue eyes scanning the horizon.

Aku glanced down at the group, not at first being able to see much of the groups faces but he could clearly tell that they knew he was there.
"Ah..." He said nervously looking down, "I think they see us." He rubbed his chin before placing his hand on one of his blades, "Should we strike, or just follow them?" Aku asked as he glanced over to his ally.

Ayalan made his way back to the group, as he held a black tulip in his hand, twirling it between two fingers- he had needed to make a side stop.
He asked his departed friend Malice what to do. His life was slowly caving in on him; however, he got no answer, no talking..just a single flower he saw emerging from the gravestone. Aya finally walked past the tree that the shadows were in, noting his comrade's stopped positions, a hand on his sheathed dagger.
He didn't drop the flower, but made a glaring motion toward the group in question; he couldn't sense the evil he could normally sense- his mind was too hazy. Malice's departure certainly drove Aya to a place of harshness; but then his home was destroyed; burned to ashes. Nia had been missing, Aya noted the scrawled notes of departure, and it made him return to his former self, a man with little to say and a harsh look on life, he was on the lookout for her; but he couldn't do anything.
Simply, Aya had lost it all, and was now returning to his roots, the Kishu, without ever speaking of the other clan he was a part of; the more allies, the better.
"...Roxa. Speak," Aya said firmly, as he flicked out three chakrams in his hand.

The man next to Aku had his eyes closed, but his long ears twitching as Roxa talked.
"... His voice is a bit sharp." Amadeus said as he opened his eyes, and looked at his ally. "I don't think we need to get involved with them."

"I agree," before he was able to turn away he finally got a good look at Roxa's face... and it was like every thread in his body wanted to strike him down, his eyes flashed a fiery of blood lust that he could hardly explain... something inside him wanted Roxa dead.
"But... shouldn't we..." he gritted his teeth, gripping his blade even tighter, "That man must die..." He growled out, ready to jump right at Roxa in that very second.

"Aku, stop." He said as he grabbed his shoulder. "Do not attack. We can not risk to reveal ourself, just enjoy being in the chorus of nature." He took a breath, and let the sounds of the woods flow his being.

Roxa was whipping up a heavy wind around him, his plan was to increase the length of any sound waves moving towards him "-he chorus of nature.." He caught the last part of the sentence and suddenly spoke out "Aya, their is someone here, two at least, stronger than anything I've encountered since fighting Celtik" he didn't turn to face Aya, he was far too busy scanning the treeline for their observers "Godsdammit why do I have the feeling I'm being watched, no, poor question I know why I feel like that, because I am being watches, but from where?!"

"Fine..." He said letting his blade go, although his glare never broke from Roxa, "But I will kill him, soon." He growled before looking back at his ally, Aku's personality had suddenly got a 360 and not even Aku could explain why.

Roxa held a sword tightly in each hand, he was definatley being watched and he was sure of it. Whether or not the others felt the same he couldn't say for sure but he was certain that a pair of eyes were somewhere amongst these trees and they were drilling into him. For the first time in possibly since Kain died he felt a genuine fear, the fear of the unknown never usually affected him but it was really getting to him right now... But something else, something he hadn't felt in a long time was also surfacing...

Amadeus looked at Roxa from the spot he was hiding in, and could hear Roxa's heartbeat increasing, like a drum changing from adagio to allegro. "Aku, do you hear that?" He asked him quietly, as his ear twitched, "That is the tempo of the paranoid."

"If he's so afraid..." Aku said a dark smile stretching across his face, "Then shouldn't we free him of his fear...?"
Every time Aku saw Roxa face it was like something inside him was begging him to tear it off, he had never felt this blood lust before, it confused Aku more then anything.

Roxa growled in frustration before turning to the others "We keep moving, but take caution" he started stalking forwards with blades in hand, resisting the urge that was creeping through his whole body for the time being, he had to keep in control of himself and not worry about these followers they had obtained for now.

"They're moving," Aku whispered why jumping to another tree, it was so silent and precise jump that he never may a single sound as he landed, "We should follow them."

A few branches down a shadow seem to have gain some height, and then a humanoid shape, revealing Amadeus. He put his finger up against his lips to tell Aku to be quiet. He then watched them leave, and vanished in the shadows once more.
