A A small child was awakening from his slumber, he was within a cabin which was part of a boat it appeared, as he slowly looked around as if the scene wasn't familiar, and it wasn't he could of swore this wasn't his room. Slowly his body began to rise from the bed causing him to groan as tired muscles moved and contorted just seconds after awakening. A few people were hovering near him, his head turning slightly to notice them, he offered a soft smile and slowly stood up, they were speaking quickly and had informed him he had been on the deck when suddenly he passed out and they had taken him to their room and watched over him. He bowed and showed his signs of respect as he reached down grabbing his bag, slowly opening it to reveal a teddy bear who he held by his paw and walked out of the room. As he suddenly felt the boat almost lurch as they were being pulled into a port, where he could hear the people running above, he slowly worked his way to the deck, while they were still tying it down, one o the men saw Miumi go over to the side of the boat and leap down, it was a ten foot drop, but he landed easily and with grace, teetering slightly and waving to the men. He had somewhere to go, it was the forest he had heard a legend of creatures lurking within.
" I wish you safety on your travels." . "
W hen those words leaft his lips they were a small shout, as he turned to wave to some of the men and he began to run along the docks quickly, his body weaving around people like they were standing as still as a marble statue. Pivoting his heels and his weight he veered around some of the other children, his dress spiraling around his body almost like a wedding veil, it was hard to imagine that Miumi was a "demon" and was capable of such grace and poise. As the boy walked towards the entrance of the forest. The cries of beasts and creatures could be heard from within it was a soothing sound that caused Miumi to arch his back in a near primal fashion as he slowly stepped within the forest, as he just fiddled with the world around him, running his fingers along the long branches of the trees and the leaves that were near his finger. He could hear something heavy sounding coming he looked around noticing a large rock which was surrounded by thick plants, Miumi remembered diving into them and sitting there silently holding a fuzzy paw over his lips. He was listening and slowly the sound was getting closer, but he could tell whatever it was it was heavy and sounded like it may of been pissed off. Miumi had the feeling he had just been dealt another shity hand by lady luck who seemed to want him to die most of the time.
"I won't die here not now.... "
H is creation wasn't pretty, A long circle of blood and bones was made in a land of the dead of this very world where the fiends were said to lurk, a city that had once been so pretty was nothing but ruins. A man was breathing heavily as he chanted a long string of words. Many fiends have something in them lodging them to the ground. As they all began to age quickly as it drained their life from them. Slowly a swirling purple and red vortex emerged. While Miumi was trapped within it. He was released. As he came out a piercing pain flew down his back as a tattoo was engraved thre but it was different from the one that Seymour was touching, while the resemblance was close. While Miumi was bright he watched in fear as that man was killed before him. Ayamu sprung from the portal slashing at the fiend as it lunged at MIumi. The travel through the icy mountains of Gagzet was visible while then time seemed to speed up as Miumi was now living with a human family within the calm lands. That meant this boy had travelled across Spira in such a short time alone mostly. As he would feel pain as Miumi watched as the couple he lived with had died from a strange disease a guilt flew through Miumi he had always thought it was his fault and Seymour would see Miumi clinging to the bodies screaming why.. did they have to die... Was it my fault?
"Mi- lord are you all right."

OOC: Sorry for the poor post, I am working on low muse at the moment.
Spira. A land where beliefs were developed and faiths grew strong. It may have once been a place unlike any other. It could have been just and innocent, inquisitive towards religion and technology. However, Exdeath did not know its past, he only knew the place as it was now. A place of deception and political corruption, unbeknownst to most civilians. On the side, the beast known as Sin, interestingly, only devastated this continent.
Now, whatever he was doing on this land was probably related to his single, major goal: global destruction. He was in a forest, located near a port, though he was not close enough to see it. His colossal figure broke through the trees as he made his unbeaten path through the forest. Uncaring and without reason, he tore trees out of his way as his progressed through. His spiked, sky blue armor alone damaged the surrounding nature without the assistance of his destructive habits. He demolished his way through because nothing stood in this giant’s way.
Unknown to all, this man was not human, in a sense. He was actually a tree himself, though he gained sentience through the harboring of thousands of souls. Moreover, these souls were not just normal souls, they were souls of countless malicious and evil beings. And not only was he composed of these combined souls, but also numerous demons and indescribable monster. No one knew this information, and no one would ever know. All they could possibly fathom to describe his creation was that his was the single embodiment of all evil in the world. A single vessel constructed of an ancient trees and thousands of unspeakable horrors conformed into one entity. One may call him a demon and justify it, although he was not officially one. He was a doom bringer. The individual who would bring around an apocalypse to destroy all worlds. And he, without a doubt, enjoyed this fate and destiny of his.
As he desolated the forest, he stumbled open a small, open area. In this area, he noticed a large rock with thick plants surrounding it. Something was not right about and he sensed he was not alone. He could feel a peculiar aura nearby him. Where exactly? He was not sure; however, he reckoned the obvious, thick foliage would be a first-rate hiding place for someone who heard him coming.
Slowly, his lumbering figure of killing machine stood before the patch of thick green plants around the rock. After sometime, he was becoming impatient. However, to his luck, he heard some hushed whispering emitting from the brush. Pulling out his golden blade, he slashed at the crop of plants until he finally discovered the source of the strange aura.
Hiding silently in the now-cut bushes, there was a small… boy? Exdeath was sure the child was a male; however, he possessed very feminine features. What was also interesting about the child was that he held a teddy bear with him. It was an odd sight, yet Exdeath was detached and set his sights on slaying the boy as soon as he saw. Nonetheless, something compelled him to ask in a deep and frightening tone, ”Child, speak and tell me what are you.”
Exdeath’s face was hidden inside his large helm and tiny slits were the only source of sight for him. Though they were hidden, his dark chocolate eyes examined the boy repeatedly. His blade was still in his tight grip. As soon as he knew a little about the child, he would no longer need him, dispose of him, and let that be that. He knew he was breaking his rule about not learning about an individual, nevertheless, he had to admit he was interested.
A s the sound began to grow closer he began to notice how much it sounded like a mammoth walking through the forest, he could hear the sound of trees falling, the loud clink of metal as if they were wearing armor. As they grew closer Miumi could feel the very power of their footsteps as the ground seemed to shake slightly causing Miumi to press himself closer to the rock as if thinking it would protect him. As the figure got closer he could see the massive shadow being projected around him covering the tip of the plants covering him, he didn't move, his body became as still as a statue simply lowering himself farther to the ground clutching the teddy bear. For some reason Miumi didn't even seem to be breathing, it was like he was holding his breath and he was, suddenly he heard the sound of a sword sliding from it's sheath, he pushed his body against the ground, his body moving silently among the plants, he was a ghost of the battle field. As the blade was swung Miumi could feel the force down where he was as plants began to fall and cascade down over his body covering part of him. The creature would be greeted with an icy colored tone of eye, like the boy was blind, and he could act that part as Miumi held the teddy bear close and began to feel the rock, as slowly he would rise from the ground.
As Miumi rose his one hand would slide to his hear, he was adjusting a few strands which had fallen within his face, as his eyes weren't moving, he was trying to make the act of being blind as convincing as possible. As Miumi's rather long nails laced through his hair, there were small lumps forming at which point he just parted the hair slightly, it revealed wolven looking ears. They looked like they could be fake but then the piercings in them looked real, there were four piercings in each ear which represented the elements the basic four, water,fire earth and air. They were placed close to together to show the unity between each other but they were placed along their polar opposite. As Miumi stood there his taunt black shirt was flared slightly at the buttom, Miumi hadn't done all the buttons so they could clearly see part of his navel. Then the vest which covered that was slightly askew from him diving into the rough dirt, his clothing hanging part off, it revealed a tattoo which was branded into Miumi's skin on his right shoulder. It revealed that Miumi was a creature of some sort, as his hands slid along his skin finding the clothing wasn't covering the tattoo he slowly pulled it up. Miumi held the teddy bear still, but used the rock to slowly guide him out making himself purposely almost fall a few times. Miumi would make an amazing actor one day, that much was sure by this interesting display.
Slowly Miumi would come into full sight, a small bit of light filtering through the thick forest roof to shine on Miumi, in the dank forest it provided him with warmth though to complete the act, where the sunlight moved Miumi slowly brought his hand there. But soon it slid down to Miumi's neck where there was a necklace made of pure glass which had his mother's name engraved in it. As he just held it within his hands, He slowly let the teddy bear come out it would slide to the ground the chain was in it's liquid state and hidden behind Miumi, but the bear stood up straight and those black beady eyes moved around turning icy blue. While Miumi looked so innocent at that moment as the bear slowly took a step forward so did Miumi, as the chain caused him to move forward. As Miumi moved a swift wind flew through the forest causing his clothing to fly wildly, it revealed that Miumi's skin was ghastly pale as if he never touched the sun, his dress was held up by a chain link belt. While there was a pair of snug leather tights under the dress it was obvious he still felt the cool wind against his body. As the eye traveled down it would reveal a shiny set of golden bangles which were around his ankle. They were barely visible from the leather vines which flew up and down his leg. It was interesting this boy was acting blind.
" I am Miumi, have you seen my mother or father, They said they'd find me if I went into the forest...."
W hile those words were leaving his lips, Miumi was secretly looking over the other, as his teddy bear did as well, the eyes would move slowly barely noticeable but Miumi's were near invisible as his eye remained in one place. Miumi could see the other was still brandishing a weapon, he could swear he could faintly see specs of crimson on the blade causing him to feel slightly sickened, as he noticed the other was clad from head to to toe with nothing more then mere armor, thin slits which Miumi couldn't seen through. Miumi stood perfectly still for some reason as he seemed to be thinking of the best action, he noticed that this man was frightening and had a malicious nature to him, as he realized this man was the one destroying the forest. Who had cleaved the area around him in an attempt to find Miumi, was this man good in Miumi's eyes no. Though his icy eyes he could see that the other was in a stance almost like he was ready to strike, why he hadn't perplexed Miumi until he realized that the man wanted information. This boy wasn't afraid to fight but he seemed so frail and fragile, but that was the guise of innocents and the other might find that out shortly, as if he made one wrong move Miumi would unleash a brand of hell upon the man. Slowly Miumi blinked in that moment he could focus on the man, he knew that he was harmful just by his nature the cold eerie voice.
This time his teddy bear moved slightly closer he would looked at the man slightly his body moving around slowly the chain that connected them became slightly visible as the teddy bear expected the man, he couldn't find to much on him but his eyes were thin as slowly the stitches which held the bear's mouth shut began to unravel revealing rows of sharp looking teeth much like, the master who was smiling as well, it made Miumi look as if he were okay with being blind and in a way he was, since it was an act that he needed to do to make sure this man wasn't planning anything malicious towards MIumi. Though Miumi had words swarming within his head he was ready to blast this man to hell and back with magic that was more powerful then many could imagine, his strength was within the bear, his speed was his own as was his magic. As the bear twitched slightly when it moved it seemed to be looking around the area as well before it returned to the boy's side and leapt onto his shoulder where he sat, Miumi just gently petted the teddy bear's body in random places as if he couldn't tell where he was petting. Though the eerie silence would slowly cause Miumi to speak again his voice was soft and sounded almost like Miumi could be afraid. It was strange to imagine.
"Mister, why are you so quiet, are you still here? "
H e spoke softly his voice was breaking occasionally as if he were going to break down crying but then the bear spoke and while he did he was rubbign a fuzzy paw against the child's face as if he was going to wipe away tears that had not yet fallen.
"Mi- lord, please don't cry. "

The baleful giant watched the mysterious boy acutely with sinister examinatorial eyes. The child’s every move was calculated and analyzed in Exdeath’s machine of a mind. Dark gears whirled constantly due to the boy’s peculiar behavior. Exdeath noted the boy’s outlandish, icy blue eyes that seemed glazed over in a sense, though they seemed to have seen much already, a silent indicator that the boy was not as he appeared. Another interesting physical trait was the child’s inhuman ears. This fact only increased Exdeath’s suspicion of the boy.
The boy gradually, with the assistance of the large boulder near his back, stood up until he was completely out of the butchered plants. Once he stood, the boy adjusted his bizarre attire in an even more bizarre manner. The boy seemed blind, yet Exdeath felt something was not right as he stared unwaveringly at the child. The boy’s mannerisms would make it obvious for people to believe he was blind; however, Exdeath could not be sure whether this was merely an act or a reality. If it was an act, it was well done and by any artistic critic, the performance would have been well rated. Nevertheless, it did not matter whether the boy was visionless or not, Exdeath would still kill him before he continued on his way.
There was minimal light in the filtered area were they stood due to the dense canopy above them. Still, some light slipped through the small breaches in the umbrella of trees and made the boy more distinct in certain ways. Exdeath never said a word, he merely scrutinized the boy’s abnormal performance with a careful eye. The boy was now placing the previously lifeless teddy bear on the ground, and as soon as he did, it slowly came to life. As if precariously attached to the boy, the teddy bear took a step forward; interestingly, so did the child. It was in that moment that Exdeath noticed a partially visible chain that connected the boy to the bear.
All these quirky and distinctive facts began to pile up, irritating Exdeath because he still could not determine what this child was. Annoyance was boiling inside him and it only got worse as the boy did not answer his question, simply responding with his name and some irrelevant point about his parents. His agitation was diverted as the teddy bear walked a bit closer to Exdeath. The stitches that were recently sealing its mouth, began to unwind. Once the stitches were completely undone, jagged teeth formed a smile. It was a smile that would have caused some concern in any normal human; however, Exdeath was far from normal and even further away from being human, thus the smile had no effect. After the bear innocently looked around, it returned to the boy’s shoulder where the boy proceeded to pet it randomly, again with the guise of sightlessness. This whole unknowing whether the boy was truly blind or not was rather vexing, yet Exdeath soon would know the truth.
The boy spoke softly once again, this time portraying a sense of fearfulness. This child was certainly getting on his nerves. He was not getting the answers he wanted, which aggravated him. He had already given the child plenty of time to give him a straight-up and honest answer, longer than he would grace any other being. Now, Exdeath would have to use force to extract an answer – though he was not overly concerned or opposed to the thought.
While the giant figure may not have been fast, his sheer size and strength made up for the fact. His long legs were able to cut distances very shortly and that is what they did. Exdeath took several steps forward and soon the boy was within reach. With his gold blade in his right hand, his massive, gloved left hand shot out at the boy. His hand alone was the size of the child’s head, but Exdeath was not aiming to crush his head, rather he was aiming get a hold of the boy’s clothes to lift him off the ground.
This aggressive action may have seemed unnecessary; however, Exdeath did not care. When he was openly defied, he would quickly resort to some method of violence to get what he wanted. Many had fallen and been shattered between his destructive hands, not many were strong enough to resist the monster when he came at them. In fact, none had escaped him so far and he was not about to let there be a first.
A s Miumi stood still like a statue, his icy blue eyes had a very cold and piercing nature but he didn't blink very often as the teddy bear slowly walked back to the other slowly he could sense the other was getting frustrated, this man was a killer Miumi could tell by his malicious nature, the way he tried to command respect with fear and power, that he couldn't hope to imagine what this little child was capable of. This child had traveled a journey many people struggled with alone only having a select few to assist him on the way as Miumi blinked a few times his soft eyes were watering slightly as if he were afraid. No there was pain within Miumi it radiate through him in hot pulses much like a shocking pain. As those eyes never left the other for more then a single moment. But soon those eyes would shut for the briefest of seconds, this monster standing before him would get a blessing that many weren't lucky enough to see. He would see Miumi cry, as a single hot tear slid from the corner of his eyes, it clung delicately to the curves of Miumi's face before it began to slowly slide down to his chin. While it then fell to the ground splashing against it, in Miumi's ears it had a near melodic tone as he looked ahead just slowly bringing his hand to his face feeling around. This man would fall before Miumi...
His eyes shifted to the other not long after that tear had fallen he heard it, something moving within the armor, it was straining for a moment to get it moving but soon he could feel the heat of battle, slowly a soothing rush went through his body as the rushes began. Slowly the sound of the other's armor moving was distinct by the tell tale clicking of the metal when it rubbed against something as the fiend began to walk towards Miumi, he stood firm as if he had no idea that he could be looking death within it's eyes. As the boy stood firm until the other reached out to touch him, the boy would just take a single step back just barely avoiding the other's grasp as the other stood there starring at the other, the bear had moved in sync with Miumi it was obvious the two were connected. But the man had awaken the bear's urges suddenly a deafening roar echoed from the bear that made Miumi cringe, slowly fabric began to tear as the nails began to grow becoming long fine looking dagger like nails around three inches long. His mouth would strain stitches looking like they were going to pop as the other came near the boy the teddy bear stepped in between him that bear was tiny, but it held the strength of many. This was the result of creation, a monster no a fiend.... this fiend was Miumi's friend. Suddenly MIumi's voice filled the air softly almost mockingly
"Why you wish to hurt me? Teddy and I don't like that... not one bit.... Teddy thinks I should punish you, so mister are you ready for your judgment?
W hen those words leaft Miumi's lips the tone was so cold and icy that it actually seemed to have power as Miumi looked at the other blinking for once, Miumi pushed off the ground doing an elegant back flip putting himself once again out of the other's range, while in mid flip Miumi was chanting and the power of magic around Miumi was raw and seemed to command respect. As Miumi landed upon the ground suddenly he placed his hands against the ground he would make Exdeath pay as suddenly a spell of water had been envoked, it started out small but soon a large wave was flying towards the other it tore up the ground that was within it's way sending sharp pikes of water at the other while Miumi wasn't done knowing that water was a very painful thing just alone. He kept his hands connected to the water as soon as it was close enough he invoked the spell blizzard, as he did so the tips of the wave froze attempting to pierce the other's armor with near deadly looking pikes of ice. While as soon as his spell was finished he rose picking up the teddy bear pushing off the ground backwards he would weave around the corner hiding among the trees, Miumi was playing with this man he was going to make this fiend suffer. As he smirked the other had tried to hurt him and bit off more then he could chew and now Miumi was coming to collect his payment in full.
As he slowly placed himself against the strong trunk of a single tree, he would slowly breath using those two spells had barely seemed to phase him since he had been resting and after battling sin it had managed to boost his power with each spell he seemed to get stronger. As Miumi slowly took off he would disappear into another bush moving around quickly weaving around until he stood near a stream which was only around five or six feet from the other, Miumi was going to make him work for each blow that he would try and commit. As Miumi leapt out onto a rock he stood there with a teddy bear within his hands, he smiled softly as he stood there as a small wind flew through causing Miumi's hair to flare around him, he almost looked some what like a demon and the fact was he was a lucavi. As he stood there he slowly sat down just smiling he was going to taunt and provoke the other as he just swung his legs back and forth and played with the teddy bear, he was mocking the other in a fashion that was almost painful to watch. As soon as he was comfortable his voice filled the forest as he shouted, he wanted the other to come and find him, he was ready to fight till the bitter end if he must, this boy was a threat to all those around him.
"Whats matter mister, bite off more then you can chew, did you think I was some pathetic child.... no I've traveled from the realm of demons to this plane... you see I am a Lucavi.... a demon who is brought here by a contract. "
H e was giggling by the end of his speech petting the bear in his lap affectionately. Slowly the bear opened his mouth speaking in that booming voice.
"You touch mi-lord I'll kill you..."

As Exdeath took a giant, lumbering steps forward, the child seemed undisturbed by the oncoming beast. In most cases, there was volatile quivering and shaking that would threaten to ruin a being’s composure when Exdeath charged forward. Nevertheless, this unusual boy simply stood, glaring at him with undeviating, sharp blue eyes. Although, for a moment, the boy’s eyes shut and from the small corner of his eye, a small teardrop was produced before his eyes snapped open once again.
Was this a feeble display of trivial, human emotion? On the other hand, was there some deep-rooted battle going on inside the child? These questions would go unanswered because Exdeath did not have any concern over the boy’s mental state. He just found the action peculiar and admittedly, slightly unnerving. Another interesting observation was the boy’s strange tranquility and calmness. Even as Exdeath bull rushed forward in attempts to squeeze answers from the boy, the child did not fret.
What happened next, Exdeath did not foresee; however, he was quick to act when he saw the boy nimbly dodge his reach and retaliate on his own accord. The connection between the bear and the boy was clear as they both moved in the same manner. However, the synchronization fell short as the bear moved to stand between the boy and Exdeath. If he were not in this battle situation, Exdeath would have probably burst into maniacal laughter as a deep roar emitted from the teddy bear. He found this funny because for such a small creature, it possessed certainly a ferocious roar, which was a humorous sight to behold: a small bear with a loud bark.
His eyes still lingered on the bear, as he watched, small, dagger-like nails protruded from the bear’s stitching. Exdeath did not know what power this bear retained, yet this bear and its master could not even fathom the power this giant, metallic monster possessed and it seemed they sorely underestimated him, or so said the boy’s casual stance.
In a soft, but taunting tone, the boy called out to him asking if he was ready for the punishment he justly deserved. This juvenile comment made Exdeath laugh. The chilling laughter filled the quiet forest all around them. In a wicked tone, Exdeath replied, ”You naïve child, if you really think you can best me, you are dead wrong and soon to be dead. You and your childish teddy bear stand no chance against me. Bring on this so-called ‘punishment,’ but try not to bore me.” He surely spoke in a conceited tone, but at least he was confident.
Following his jeering words, the child effortlessly back-flipped, creating a rather large gap between him and Exdeath. Upon landing, the boy lashed out at Exdeath with a surprise water attack. The ground that stood in between the two started to erode and become uprooted as a wave that continually increased in size rushed forward towards Exdeath. The dark blue waters mixed with debris and rubble would have spelled death to any normal being; however, this giant was not going down. However, he did not have time to evade the large onslaught of water, he was able to brace himself well enough that it did not cause too much damage. All of a sudden as an added bonus, the boy used a blizzard spell, as well, freezing the tips of the tidal wave just as it was about to crash down on Exdeath. Smart kid, but he would need more than that to phase the monster. Just before the wave crashed into him, Exdeath shot flames from his hands, melting the iced tips so they returned to a normal, liquid state.
The wave crashed into him, causing him to fly back a few feet, though he soon stabilized himself. The force of the strike shortly knocked the wind from the giant, though he quickly regained it. Once the wave receded, Exdeath stood tall and just caught a glimpse of the child running to hide behind a crop of trees. If this foolish child thought destroying Exdeath was that he, he was in for a big reality check. Raising his voice so it boomed all across the arena-like area, he said, ”Boy, you are going to need much more than that to destroy death and incarnated evil itself.” Pointing a large, gloved finger at the crop of trees the child hid behind. Exdeath launched a giant sphere of dark magic at the tree, blasting it completely to pieces. To his chagrin, the child was not there. He was moving around, cowardly, instead of facing Exdeath head on. No matter, this match would end all the same with the boy dead.
Shouting out once again, Exdeath spoke darkly, ”Do not underestimate me because I am utterly prepared to tear this whole forest apart.” Exdeath listened intently for the sound of the boy and he could hear him running all around. Finally, he stopped and stood atop a rock, staring down on Exdeath. Finally, the boy gave Exdeath the answer he wanted: the boy was a Lucavi. Exdeath knew little of this race, yet he knew they were commonly known as demons and they were usually summoned to this plane. Regardless of a contract, Exdeath would destroy this demon on this day and there would be one less demon to worry about.
The boy said another little speech with Exdeath coldly replied to. ”Yes, at first, I did think you were merely a pathetic little child that would be an easy kill. Now… I just know you are still feeble and regardless of what you are, you will still shatter and break between my hands.”
With that said, Exdeath stomped his foot on the ground and used the spell Quake to hopefully shake the demon and make him lose his balance. Whether or not the child did, Exdeath proceeded forward, blade up and ready to slash. As he got closer, he summoned the power of Fire once again and hurled a flaming sphere at the boy. Now close, Exdeath moved to slash down upon the boy’s torso. This battle would not last long, Exdeath was sure of it.
A s the other was slowly walking into the clearing Miumi was unzipping his shirt ever so slightly reaching into the internal pockets pulling out a pair of leather gloves, As he stood there watching the other for a brief moment he pulled those black gloves taunt against his milky skin and would flex his hands for a few brief seconds. As those icy piercing eyes would slowly come up from his pale skin and focus on the man known as Exdeath, as Miumi stood firm like a pillar of stone he just looked so innocent, so frail yet this boy had gotten the edge on the other once, Miumi would proceed to go for another round and this boy would end up fighting till the bitter end, he was known for his dangerousness, the others who had seen him said he was like an angel, he looked and played the part but that demon within him was always waging war. As the other began to speak, Miumi stared intently at him despite only thin slits leading towards the other's eyes, Miumi's gaze was surprisingly piercings and could almost feel like it was cutting within your very soul. As the other seemed to want to play a game that was something Miumi could agree with as slowly he began to lift his leg. Part of Miumi knew what to expect he had seen other's use a spell of quake as well as witnessed fiends use it. Suddenly the vibrations began but Miumi knew where it was, as the water around him began to ripple coming inwards towards him as the force flew towards him.
As he felt saw the final ripple smash against the rock the force was faint, he could feel the energy flowing through the ground and as it began to shake below Miumi, Suddenly he pushed off the quivering rock sending himself into the air just a few feet grabbing his teddy bear who was now free-falling as Miumi flew back down he would land just a few inches from the rock, the ground had stopped it's constant quivering but when Miumi landed he stumbled slightly and quickly corrected himself. As Miumi stood there that look within his eyes was near killer, it held the very nature that many saw in the eyes of a man about to take his first life. As the other began to flow towards Miumi he obviously seemed to want to hurt Miumi with something, as he came closer Miumi felt the warmth radiating from his body as the globe of fire formed within his metallic hands. While Miumi wasn't stupid as the orb began to fly towards him, Miumi locked his one leg to the ground his other boy pivoted flowing around the globe, his arm feeling a slight sizzling from where the water had been. As he stood there steam could be seen wafting from his body. While Miumi seemed still just as dangerous as he had as the other charged and attempted to cleave him in two, Miumi pushed off his body hovering in mid air one hand slammed down on the moving blade, His body locked there his hand curling around the dull side of the blade. Suddenly Miumi spoke quickly, his words blending together.
" Wraith of Thunder, rain down from the sky, strike my enemies down with your piercing tears, make them feel your pain, Now strike them down Thunder,!
W hen Miumi spoke, the energy in the air seemed to crackle, as Miumi spoke his hands and hair glittered with the sparks of lightning which traveled down to his free hand which was now being placed towards the other's face. By the end of the sentences a glowing orb of pure white and streaks of purple was crackling so loud, many would compare it to thousands of birds chirping, and he made sure the other could see it was like looking death in the eyes as the man was wearing metal and standing within the water. It was almost as if Miumi had lured him there, while Miumi pushed the orb towards the other's face and released the blade so his hand just rested on it, while suddenly the orb would explode sending electrical bolts and the concussive force towards the other, while Miumi was sent flying backwards, His body doing a flip within mid air as he came back down to earth. His leather covered hand flew down into the water grabbing at the sinewy earth his feet digging into the ground, Miumi was dangerous as he slowly skidded to a stop. While the explosion had created a large plume of smoke, Miumi seemed to have a plan as the smoke hadn't cleared just yet Miumi pushed off the ground disappearing from the other's line of sight, Miumi was actually getting physical. Miumi cut through the lines of trees and brush reappearing on a path. This was like a cruel god's judgment.
As Miumi came to a stop, he was catching his breath slightly, this boy was just messing with this man now as Miumi stood among the path, he would stand there playing with the teddy bear as if he were a doll as Miumi listened to the world around him, As Miumi tried to move his one arm he realized that the one he had used was slightly numb and didn't respond to a lot of his commands. So Miumi spend this time focusing slowly he could begin to move that arm it would lift just a few inches from his waist and no higher, it sucked meaning he may of temporarily paralyzed his arm. While he could imagine the damage he had done to that sick armor wearing freak. As a soothing breeze that felt rather wet and moist blew through the forest, it caressed Miumi's small fragile body. It helped cool the small beads of sweat which were scrolling along the side of his face as he breathed gently this boy was slightly tired from his battle with Sin, but as he stood there he was recovering. As he waited for the sound of that hulking chunk of metal he slowly looked towards the teddy bear, Miumi was smiling as if he done something great, as he slowly reached down stroking the fuzzy body of the teddy bear. He seemed so peaceful and gentle, but this boy was a cold hearted killer. Soon Miumi's voice filled the air.
" You could always run in fear, I won't stop until one of us can't fight, and you can throw everything you want at me but I won't back down, no I'll just come back stronger and if your already dead, I'm sorry I thought you'd atleast make me break a few more beads of sweat. "
H e was practically screaming these words into the woods, he could hear his voice echo slightly as Miumi grew silent, his wolven ears would twitch and curl slightly amplifying the sound of the world around him as he just smiled. Then he slowly looked down to the bear who had a slightly worried look upon his face as his lord's arm was hanging near limply at his arm, as if it had been broken due to the blow, no there were no protusion of the bones or no sickening crack of scream his lord's arm was just slightly disabled. While the question that the bear asked would be answered with a soft almost child like smile that said he would be fine, Miumi was slowly gaining feeling within his one arm while it might be a few minutes before it was fully useful.
"Mi- lord are you all right?"

The child appeared to be able to meet Exdeath’s naked eyes even through the small slits in his helm. The boy’s eyes were like daggers of ice, penetrating the window to his souls; however, it did not disturb Exdeath. Very little could phase the dark entity that retained a sanctum for countless numbers of evil souls. Exdeath watched with annoyance as the boy nimbly dodged his telltale Quake. All the same, Exdeath had to admit that the boy possessed far greater flexibility and agility than the lumbering, metallic monster. Despite his definite lack of speed, howbeit, Exdeath was stronger physically and mentally, he was prepared and able to withstand more than anyone else.
As Exdeath continued his rush forward, the boy once again narrowly evaded the flaming ball of fire that he shot. Exdeath’s blade slashed across the boy’s chest, swiftly and gracefully, however, the boy slide back and jumped into the air slightly. One of the boy’s small hands gripped the dull edge of his golden blade, holding firmly. What happened next, Exdeath did not expect. Raw magic began to form in the child’s hand, eventually forming a ball of sizzling lightning that produced a rather obnoxious, resonating sound. Although, the sound was not what concerned Exdeath, it was the potential the sphere of pure lightning bore that troubled Exdeath. At that moment, Exdeath realized the dire situation he was now in: water soaked the ground all around his feet and his armor was, regrettably, pure metal. Altogether, this was not a good combination. In fact, it was ultimately lethal, if Exdeath did not do something to lessen the damage.
As the boy’s hand that held the sphere of lightning shot down towards Exdeath’s head, he knew he did not have a lot of time. With his free hand, he brought it up to his face, spreading his fingers to protect his head as much as possible. A small shield of fire materialized from Exdeath’s hands and the inevitable impact of lightning collided with the burning fire. The fire managed to quell the lightning by a fraction of a degree as the two opposing forces clashed together; however, the some lightning still made it past and the power of the impact alone sent Exdeath soaring backwards.
As Exdeath flew through the air, electricity jolted through his armor. The pain was intense; nevertheless, the overall power was weakened even more by Exdeath’s wood nature. The wooden attribute that Exdeath possessed absorbed most of the lightning, still leaving his with a residual static shock, though. The water that he landed in could be seen evaporating off his armor. Shocks pounded and reverberated through the Exdeath's head, making it feel as if it was going to explode. All Exdeath could hear was a high-pitched ringing in his ears. His mouth gaped open as if to help rid himself of the accursed bells within his head. All his muscles contracted, and he could not help but contort slightly with pain.
For a brief moment as Exdeath sat atop several now-demolished trees, his consciousness waned slightly. It took several deep breaths to cease the minor convulsing that presently afflicted him. He now had a pounding headache and was slightly burned here and there, but otherwise unscathed thanks to his magic and tree origin. However, he made a mental note of not falling for such a trap again.
This child was truly proving himself a thorn in the giant’s side. As Exdeath got up, his armor creaked and groaned in argument. Sweat had formed inside his helm. The process of sweating cooled him down slightly as it evaporated from his body. His mood was most foul now as he looked around for the boy. The child seemed to have temporarily disappeared, like before. After a short time, he reappeared on a path a distance away from Exdeath and he was playing with his teddy bear. Exdeath knew he needed to get his anger under control before it got the best of him. From past experiences, Exdeath knew that anger clouded many men’s minds and caused them to do idiotic things. This would not happen to Exdeath.
The silent air was soon disrupted by the taunting words of the boy. It sounded like the boy thought he had some advantage over Exdeath or that he was stronger than Exdeath, he was sorely incorrect and Exdeath would drill that into his head. Though the child may be a demon, he was not as prolific as Exdeath was because Exdeath had another devastating weapon up his sleeve that the unsuspecting boy would not expect.
”Child, you may have had the advantage or tricks to get the upper hand on me; however, now you have forced me into irreversible action. By the time I hold your life in my palm, you will not only be sweating, but bleeding, as well.”
Exdeath’s cold, malignant tone viciously filled the air, his mere words were like invisible, icy blades that stabbed at the child. It was time for Exdeath to utilize his recent acquire companion. Closing his dark brown eyes, Exdeath’s hand was raised and it was directed at the large, open area of the forest they had been fighting in until they both were either blasted from it or ran away to hide elsewhere. Calling out in a deep voice that could be heard for miles all around, Exdeath commanded, ”The time has come to prove your worth, Cerberus. I summon thee!” Exdeath humorously added “your” worth because when he was working to attain the beast, he was required to show he was worthy to be the new master of the dark beast, in which case, he did.
As the words left his cold lips, the air fell silent. It was an unnatural and eerie silence that saturated the forest air. As one looked around, it would appear as if time itself stopped as no wind was present and not even the smallest leaf twitched. This occurrence reminded Exdeath of when he faced the creature. All time had stopped and no other being moved but him and the dark hound of the Underworld. This was much like now; however, the boy was permitted to move, as well, as he too would have to face the horror of a beast, except the child would be given no grace or mercy, he was going to die, Exdeath knew it.
In the previously unoccupied area of the large forest opening, a large creature of immense power began to gradually materialize. The once blurry outline of a form now began to solidify and soon a beast that stood on four legs was recognizable as it towered over even the tallest of trees. The only way to compare the massive dog’s size was to a large castle. Soon enough, three large, snarling dog heads were definable. Each head acted on its own accord, but they could also work together. Its back was pure black and its underbelly, crimson red. Each paw had large claws and the size of the paw alone could crush the boy with one fell step. The most fearsome aspect of this monstrous creature was its blazing, red eyes that burned into the eyes of anything else, searching the unfortunate victim’s soul.
Once the frightful monstrosity of a hound collected itself, it turned to face Exdeath and it spoke in a low, demonic tone, ”What is your bidding, my master?” A cruel smile was victoriously beaming on Exdeath’s masked face. Indicating the boy playing with the teddy bear, Exdeath gave the dog a simple command: ”Kill him.” The snarling, colossal beast soon faced Miumi and the middle head’s lips were curled back as it let forth a terrifying growl.
”Trembling because you now stare your demise in the face. This is your end. How unfortunate. You had some potential, but now you will not live to see the potential bloom. What a shame.” Exdeath’s words were deep and mocking. Malice was thick in the air. Then all of a sudden, Cerberus began his attack.
All three heads lashed forward, one after the other, looking to take a bite out of Miumi and his teddy bear. However, the sheer size of the beast’s jaws could swallow Miumi in one bite. They stuck with just tearing at him for a moment. The beast lunged forward a short distance – because his summoning had already set him up close to Miumi – once the heads had a chance a biting, it lifted one crushing paw and brought it down upon the insignificant child, in attempts to break every bone in his body.
The scene was certainly entertaining to watch. The boy seemed infinitesimal in comparison to the truly gigantic dog. Even compared to Exdeath, the hound was a good fifty feet taller than him. Though he had initially decided to just watch the boy’s death, Exdeath quickly found he was bored and he preferred to participate in taking the child’s life. Thus, Exdeath ran up behind the beast and climbed atop its back until it stood on the middle dog’s head. The hound knew enough to not knock him down, so Exdeath simply stood there. As he looked down upon the child, he cackled in a low tone. He added a few attacks of his own in there as he launched a few fireballs at the now puny looking child. Soon enough, the child would be dead and the thorn in his side would dissipate. Only a matter of time now before he was overwhelmed.
A s the other was recovering, Miumi was recovering not only his physical but mental strength, meaning he was regaining the magical energy he had been spending as he did each time he fled. Hense why Miumi's spells had not only been so powerful and why he was able to use them so efficiently. This boy had a plan while it may not of been obvious this boy was going to win this battle, either way if he won, he had managed to beat a superior foe, if he lost, he had still almost killed this corrupt bastard, and this was with only the journey beginning for Miumi, so that made one wonder, what was this child capable of in the future. As Miumi stood there calmly, those eyes were scanning the area around him as he listened, he could hear the other's groans from his armor as Miumi stood in dead silence. As the other approached Miumi he looked up slowly as if he wasn't that interested and then continued to play with his dolls while his eyes remained on the other. Miumi offered the wicked smile which reflected someone who was going to kill another, Miumi had the ability and didn't seem to fear the fact that if he must, he would kill this man to preserve his own existence. As for a moment a brief flicker of emotion could be seen within Miumi's eyes the look was one of concern and another could be called lust or the desire. Miumi desired to see the end of the battle.
When the other's voice filled the air, it was laced with hints of malice and disdain, did this man hate him that much because he wasn't such as an easy kill like many of his prior victims. While Miumi was debating the pros and cons of charging at this very moment, while in mid conversation it would be probably unexpected and Miumi could pro ally end up freezing him solid with the combination that Miumi had planned as the thought of using water with blizzara sent chills down his spine. As the other continued to speak Miumi cringed slightly with every word as it felt like he was beginning prodded with cold icy blades causing him to flinch occasionally with like every other word, his arms seemed to twitch. Could it be for once that Miumi felt at least some what of fear as the other looked ahead at man covered in armor, he swore he could hear small hints of pain with each breath, he knew that under the armor there were probably burns, his ears had to of been ringing from that crackling. Yet no part of him was visible damaged, as Miumi looked at the other's armored hand, it seemed to have taken the worst of the damage, where small singes and narrow cuts barely noticeable were capble of being seen. This was just the beginning as he watched the other slowly rise his hand towards, the sky. Was he admitting defeat, Miumi wasn't that lucky for once in his life.
As the other's ancient sounding voice pierced the air, it wasn't the action but the words he spoke that caused Miumi's brief look of fear to cross his eyes as the other spoke he had planned to summon a creature known as Cereberus a familar that Miumi didn't know briefly his eyes widened with the tell-tale sound of fear and Miumi's heart began to beat quickly, but after the man spoke Miumi felt the change in the world it was like standing in the room of a dead man. The very essence of wind grew silent, as if it had run and was now quivering somewhere like a small innocent child. For a brief moment Miumi belived that time had stopped as he listened to the eerie silence looking around not even the leaves far above made sounds where there were normally the familiar rustling of trees. Miumi took a single step backwards, Miumi's footstep seemed to echo loudly as if he were walking down an abandoned hall way. Slowly Miumi began to notice a shadowy figure begin to form as the other began to bring this beast into form, slowly limbs began to form from a shadowy looking portal. Slowly those strange limbs began to grow and take the shape of a near monstrous beast. While Miumi took a few more steps back, Miumi wasn't going to lie right now he was slightly afraid, but that fear was being quelled by t
"Awwie, does it take more of then just you to take down me? I didn't think I was that much of a challenge after all you seemed so confident just a few minutes ago.... are you afraid you might lose to me."
W hen those words left his lips they weren't as strong as Miumi had hoped they would be as his voice quivered ever so slightly. As those very limbs began to rise slowly they were half the tree's length and quickly growing it was as if a castle of flesh and bone was being reconstructed before Miumi's very being, he knew he should kill Exdeath now and save himself from this collosal beast, but for some reason he felt as if he were bound in place. Some might say it was because he just wanted to cause the other's demise, but Miumi's reason was that he was curious what kind of beast was this other bringing forth, was he like the summoners that Miumi would one day join, for the name of Spira and Yevon. Slowly the features of the head were becoming more noticable they belonged to the same breed of dog, for a brief moment Miumi thought that the beast may of been like a hydra but soon he realized they were connected pretty closely together. Miumi's eyes scanned the creature it's back was as black as Exdeath's cold probably unbeating heart and it's underbelly was crimson much like blood. It was horrible to imagine that this may be the very end of Miumi's journey but for some reason Miumi was smiling. It was obvious that Miumi wasn't giving up that easy he wasn't going to run away. No he would fight like a knight for their king or queen till the bitter end.
As the heads of the beast began to weave around, Miumi's eyes were captivated by the glowing red embers which contained the very essence of malice and hatred which was slightly glaring towards Miumi, who seemed to take once again another uncomfortable step backwards as if he was afraid of what they were capable of, no when those eyes even set their slightest glance on Miumi, he could feel his heart skip a beat as the very coldness of it was like thousands of blades impaling a man at once. As Miumi glanced at the ground in an attempt to rid his mind of that coldness, his eyes were amazed by the other's paws they were massive easily the other could of smashed him to pieces with just a swipe of them. Yet Miumi didn't seem to be quite ready to back down as he took a weary step forward for the many he had taken backwards. Miumi watched as the beast turned to face Exdeath with an ultimately cold demeanor, as Miumi stood perfectly still. That voice when it spoke was thick, holding the very essence of evil within it but it had a raspy tone as if this creature had wondered the world for many years. It asked a simple question with it's wise putrid voice. It obviously served Exdeath for what reason though, were they bound together much like Miumi and Ayamu. No, Miumi doubted that since that was from their magical bound, no mere human could survive summoning a beast like that without some strange power.
He watched in a sense of horror was the beast was ordered to kill him, it also made him think a lot less of Exdeath if he required such as massive summoning to take a small child who was barely a year old within this world. As slowly the beast turned to face him, the large creature's face was distorted as it was pulled into a malicious grin revealing some slobber glistening from fangs that were easily as big as some daggers that Miumi had seen or even had the awkward experience of wielding in an attempt to defend himself. As the beast let out a growl, Miumi wasn't going to lie it was scary since it sounded like rumbles of thunder going off like bombs within Miumi's ears despite the beast being that high above him, yet Miumi already had a plan of what he was going to do. Miumi didn't even have time to retort something malicious in nature back at Exdeath as the beast lunged forward, three heads were attempting to bite at Miumi, while he focused he would actually dance between them, sway his hips and moving gracefully pivoting between the sets of the jaws. He was hiding within the spaces between the mouth since it appeared to be their weakness in his eyes as their tongues would probably attempt to lash towards him. It was when that occured that Miumi got an idea of how to take the beast down, it would be interesting it worked but hard to do since it would involve severing the heads of this beast.
"I'm Sorry I can't die just here but here is a present. I call upon you, the essence of water, Undine come answer my prayer shower my enemies with your chilling rain, and pelt them with your sorrowful tears... WATER"
H e giggled slightly as water began to surge from the river and the ground and flow towards the other it was like watching a tidal wave come but it stopped short slamming down against the the ground just infront of Miumi creating a wall, while then the water began to suddenly coil towards the beast suddenly Miumi watched as a paw was attempting to come over the top of it remembering where Exdeath was, suddenly Miumi moved as a torrent of flames came down and now the waves were falling down towards the beast, Exdeath might of thought that he was safe there was no way Miumi could freeze all the water. Well he'd be wrong, as suddenly Miumi muttered something the word Blizzara, suddenly the world around him grew cold and an essence of frost painted the ground around Miumi, as he clenched his hands together gathering the power and condensing it before lsamming his hands into the edge of the water, it spread quickly the water froze at the top, the curls of the waves became large pikes of ice, which would shower the beast and Exdeath, some of the shards were large enough to be daggers or short swords, these destructive blades were now raining down upon the beast, in an attempt to subdue it, it didn't help when he used blizzara it added more water to the mix. This was the total apocalyptic, as Miumi noticed the paw was still coming, he had rolled to the side just in time to avoid being tread upon.
Though after that display of power Miumi was breathing was uneven and heavy, as he just reached into his pocket pulling out a small herbal potion, it had a few herbs which had a sharp taste to keep him awake, it didn't help him in any other way but he sniffed the rather foul smelling vial. He prayed that the beast was dead as Miumi's eyes were filled with a sense of hatred and disgust as he looked ahead towards the icy wall that seperated him from them, while Miumi would slink into the woods using the cover of the massive wall. He prayed that when they shattered that wall it impaled them like swords.
"Good job Milord"

Sorry about the crap post, I am running on low muse at the moment.
Dark brown eyes glowed with twisted amusement. He observed the demon child carefully as he had summoned Cerberus and noticed a distinct change in winds as the boy seemed to quiver in terror. A malicious, thin smile spread across his shadowy face. It appeared the boy finally understood his fate, as he stood, miniscule, before the gigantic and hellish hound. His victorious and smug grin was shattered, however, as the boy composed himself with all the courage he could attain as he stared with renewed vigor at the glowering, vicious three-headed dog.
Irritation flickered venomously in his eyes, this child did not seem to know when to give up and accept death. Growling himself, he stood atop the massive dog looking down at the child with annoyance. He did not bothering answering the snide comment the boy threw at him because there was no point. The child would be dead and out of his hair soon, he was sure of it. Besides, the true reason he summoned Cerberus was that he wanted to test the beast’s power. The demon, Miumi, seemed a worthy trial for the beast and if the gargantuan terror could not defeat the demon, Exdeath would have to think twice about its place at his side.
Thus far, the child proved bothersome to the beast as he weaved between the giant maws of the beast. Exdeath had to admit, the child was demonstrating how much of a nuisance he was, but also, how powerful he was and how much potential he had. Exdeath had to admit to himself that if he could somehow harness the powers of this child, he would be truly fearsome.
Suddenly pulled away from his thoughts by the immense presence of a tidal wave conjured by Miumi. He was caught off guard, however, the huge wave stopped in front of Miumi before lashing at him and Cerberus. Before making contact, Exdeath watched with wonder as the water slowly began to froze, Miumi’s doing. Exdeath could foresee what was coming and in attempt to stop it, he cast Fire on the incoming ice spikes. Melting a few, he could not fend off them all. Seeing the end near, he quickly abandoned his fiendish hound by jumping from its back to the ground and landing a distance away.
The large ice waves stabbed into the large dog, it was devastating. Black blood poured forth from the grievous wounds now inflicted upon the enormous beast. The ice had punctured its neck and head in several places. It breathed heavily in defeated and all Exdeath thought was, Pathetic. Cerberus had proved himself ineffective, still it had some capability so Exdeath would not throw him away.
The massive dog began to dematerialize as it was conquered, leaving behind nothing but air. Nevertheless, before it completely vanished, Exdeath could feel himself blessed with some new, but temporary ability. He knew what it was and he would put it to good use now to crush the small, demon child.
”Nicely done, little one, however this match is coming to an end and it shall end with your death.” Exdeath’s taunting voice boomed all around him.
This was his final assault, he knew it. The only thing that stood between him and Miumi was the wall of ice. It could be easily dealt with now that he possessed the power of Triple. Consequently, he extended his arm, raising his palm to face the monstrous wall of icy defense. Mana flowed through his arm to his hand, producing a large flaming sphere. However, not just one sphere was produced, but three large globes of fire now launched towards the wall of ice.
Watching with giddy amusement, the fireballs collided with the ice walls, everything went up in debris, and the wall crumbled. A confident smirk curled his cold lips. He firmly held Hopesbane in his right hand. The child was now living his last moments on this world. The finale was here: the boy’s demise. The thorn from his side would be effortlessly removed and he would no longer be pained by it, thankfully. Oh sweet, bloody death. However, Exdeath was partially exhausted regarding his mana usage, but the smell of accomplishment invigorated him. Soon he could go rest, maybe kill a village or two, to celebrate his victory.
He sped his way through the desolated wall. It took him a moment to find the child, but he did. The demon seemed to be slinking away, maybe all his mana usage was getting to him, as well. No matter, Exdeath would mercilessly relieve him off his fatigue. Breaking through the cloud of dust and dirt, Exdeath went to diagonally slash at the boy’s chest. Whether this hit or not, Exdeath did not care because he finished off his combination with a cleaving attack to the boy’s midsection.
Bloodlust was in his eyes as he stared at the child. The ultimatum was ended, the child would be annihilated and left to bleed to death. Exdeath would reign supreme in this battle of might and magic, without a doubt.
I'm sorry, but I can't die here... the king is waiting
D espite Miumi having not been able to go through the wall, the world of events wasn't lost to him as he had sent the teddy bear's one eye upwards into the sky stretching the yards of the thread that were hidden within the socket as it it looked around, it saw the calamity that was Miumi's power. The teddy bear was smirking as the fiendish man tried to fiend off his master's constant blows, but it was hopeless so the man abandoned the very creature he believed could of destroyed Miumi. As the shards rained down they pierced the giant beast's body quickly and hot black blood began to hit the ground as it came in contact with the lower levels of the ice a loud hiss could be heard, as a fissure of steam seemed to fly from every which direction. While as the bear watched the beast bleed for a few seconds, it was loosing large amounts of blood that could of filled many of small ponds. Slowly the beast began to lower itself to the ground as if admitting defeat to the small fragile child, his own master had failed to defeat the boy, so he brought in a demon. He wondered what went through the dog's mind as it realized it's life was ending. As even Miumi could hear from the massive beast it's final breath, it seemed strained and almost pained, it was like the dog wished to keep going but it's body wouldn't allow it to do so.
The eye glittered with glee, as it watched the massive beast began to break down, quickly limbs of the beast began to disappear as if they were simply dust in the wind. As it finished breaking down a small burst of air filled the forest it blew out the smell of the blood, which to Miumi and the bear had a rather acidic, malicious scent to it. While the bear watched as the armored figure didn't seem to deterred as it let out an almost ruler like voice, it filled the forest as if he was coming from every angle, that made Miumi giggled. This man was so full of himself in so many levels. His so-called weapon had been obliterated without to much of a challenge. That revealed that Miumi was far more dangerous then he appeared but as the other spoke, it was more cocky then Miumi expected for someone who had just lost part of their weapons. While the first words were complimentary towards Miumi, for some strange twisted reason he believed that the other was going to praise him for what he had done. But quickly that tone began to twist becoming almost venomous again, while Miumi. As a wickled smile curved across Miumi's face, this man wouldn't give up until one of them was dead, while it was against Miumi's belief to take another's life he knew that in the end, this was going to come down to him or his enemy. But Miumi knew he would chose himself.
"I'm sorry I can't die for you.... I have things I need to do. "
W hen those words left his lips, the bear's claws dug slightly into his side grabbing his attention as the mental bond they shared, showed the what was happening as Miumi pulled the eye string back it began to recoil as if it was like a fishing rod, but the sight they had seen was shocking, as the other had raised their hand using a simple fire spell but suddenly there was a series of flaming orbs all as powerful as the regular spell flying through toward the icy wall, Miumi counted the different glowing embers there were exactly three. Quickly the steam began to glow quickly cloaking the forest floor with a low hanging wall of moisture which seemed to obscure the vision slightly. As the eye popped back into place. Stitches mending the eye in place as Miumi remained eerily silent. As he moved his movements were soft and gentle almost soundless while the other as he began to move sounded like a rhino in a china store. As trees and branches were crunching under the other's metallic armor and the constant reminder of his presence made it harder for the other to sneak up on Miumi. As the sound grew closer Miumi turned just in time to see the glow of the blade among the mist. He knew what was coming with it and brace himself for it. As the other flew from the fog as if he was running from the very devil himself. No this wasn't the end not yet.
As the other charged forward Miumi had managed to slid gently to one side just avoiding the bulk of the blade, but the tip sliced wickedly into Miumi's side causing him to grab his hand and the bear to open it's mouth spewing bandages out it quickly ran around his master covering the wound and pulling it tight. While Miumi stood there knowing the other was slow but it was like he was in a trance, as his world faded again. A sudden memory awoke from within Miumi's frame. He was standing among a small in ground training room. There were demons everywhere each bearing quicked weapons they were going to kill him but Ayamu stood against them smacking them down with ease, until one of them grabbed Ayamu. A sickening rage boiled within Miumi's chest as one ran a blade along his own side. He remembered grabbing their face screaming a chant so loud the room seemed to shake, so much energy he had been able to harness at that one moment. Lightning had cackled from his hands and connected with the demon's face, the unfortunate demon had awoken the wrath of Miumi, who had killed him without thought. He remembered his vison clearing the brains of the demon were splattered out the back of his skull and were painting the wall's already crimson wall with gore. It caused Miumi to shiver but his body was already adapting following the other when he turned Miumi's hand would be point blank in his face. Miumi's voice was no longer frail but deadly and sickening.
"I call upon the holy tears of the sky, rain down and purify my enemies sins.... LIGHTNING" "
H s those words left his mouth, An orb quickly formed and would touch the other's helm if he didn't move before it exploded releasing static which numbed Miumi's arm while the other awoke form it's slumber, it would probally paraylze the other and Miumi used his free hand to summon fire slamming it down into a puddle causing steam to fly up into the air masking Miumi's escape. As he ran quickly moving through the forest. A thin trail of crimson that had oozed from the bandage. As he ran he managed to escape the forest, along the decks many stared as the child clutched his side and ran to the closest boat, a man was calling the name of Besaid, it was Miumi's destiny and his escape. The man barely had time to see Miumi as he threw himself onboard and quickly disappeared into the hull of the ship. Going into an open door and falling down quickly men were in the room and tending to his wounds. He then remembered the world going black. The other failed in his mission.

Somehow the boy knew he was coming; though it was obvious because he sounded like a giant, metallic rhinoceros when he ran. He broke through the permeable wall of floating dust and mist from the water that evaporated from the ground due to his flaming attack. His blade was quick to slice; however, the child was lucky and was able to nimbly dodge his first slash. The second one, nonetheless, was relatively successful. The child had been able to get out of the way in time to narrowly miss the blade from cutting open his stomach. Instead, he was given a deep gash along the side which caused him to stumble. A vicious and victorious grin gleefully and maniacally grew on his hidden face. His deep brown eyes ferociously bore into the child’s. The child’s demonic teddy bear was quickly at his side patching him up. The boy appeared to be zoned out, as if on some other realm completely in his mind. It was a perfect time to strike and end this.
Taking a large step forward he brought his blade to finish what should have been over some time ago. But before his golden blade could connect with the child, the child returned from his trance-like state just in time. Words rang out from the child’s mouth, giving Exdeath plenty of warning for what was coming; nevertheless, he was sadly too slow to react in time. A crackling sphere of bright lightning shot forth from the demon child’s hands, moving so fast that Exdeath could scarcely pick up on it. Thankfully, he was not standing in a pool of water, making the attack less effective than before; however, it was still temporarily paralyzing as Exdeath shot backwards and fell to the ground. Static electricity coursed through his body, singing him slightly here and there, but delightedly, his wooden affinity absorbed most of the damage, partially voiding it. Despite the benefit of his wooden physique, he was still momentarily stunned from the shock. As he lay there, he heard the sizzling of water turning into steam, but no further barrage of attacks. Exdeath was puzzled by this notion and slowly began to look around for the child.
To his dismay, the demon was gone. He let out an anger roar as his kill had managed to escape. Gradually, he was able to stand again and the contracting effects of the lightning ceased. Intense frustration grew inside Exdeath. Nothing ever escaped his destructive grasp. This boy had just marked himself as a future target for Exdeath. The giant monstrosity made a silent vow at that moment to slay that demon child on sight, if he ever saw him again.
Collecting himself, he looked around the area and began to leave. However, before he continued his path through the forest, he shot a flaming ball at a crop of trees, opposite of the opening he stood in. Swiftly, the fire spread from the small group of trees as it began to move on to other trees. If the villagers did not act quickly or notice soon, a raging fire would rampage at their doorstep. This deed of arson relieved Exdeath irritation somewhat. Destruction always had that effect on him and he left the clearing with a dark smile on his face and a solemn vow on his black heart.
