Barren, desolate, and unsightly. Yet why did his heart continue to quicken with his return to this horrid land? Anticipation? Excitement? The thrill of not knowing what to expect here in this god forsaken wasteland? Narrowing his eyes at his own thoughts, the youth slipped his free hand into a pocket, the other loosely holding onto the shaft of a spear. Carrying the weapon at his side, his crimson attire hid the many scars that he had endured over his travels. But it would all end here, today. Leaving the stone wall that encompassed the land behind him, Vladimir began his search for the one that had enslaved him.
Returning to the scum covered lake he had seen during his first trip here, he kept a healthy distance away from the fowl liquid. Not in fear of what might be hiding inside of it, but more in distaste of the scene. His view shifted to a fallen tree, and it wasn’t long until he found himself sitting on the log, staring at the stagnant water. The stench was almost unbearable. However he managed to tolerate the filth for now.

The blue eyes elemental stepped from the shadows. "Waiting for someone Vlad?" she asked casually. Her gators were not present at the moment, they were being fed as they spoke. "I told you you would yearn to come back.. But you come back with anger.. However deep inside you wanted a reason to come here. You are angry because I tricked you.. However, you found that my collar came off easily, yes? It's true purpose was to keep those feelings of longing under submission. Now that it is off, you feel this place more, and do not try and tell me you don't. Admit it, you actually enjoyed the thrill of being tricked by a woman.. It's excited you.. You not only came here to seek your revenge and to satisfy the yearning of your soul, you came to see what I would do this time.. Didn't you.." she asked, seating herself gently on a rotten stump.

Not looking at the woman for the moment, Vlad pointed his spear at her with one hand before speaking. "Angry, yes, but I am not here to see what you will do next... I do not fear you, or this land anymore. If this place will become my home, then I will shape it into what I want it to be.. With your consent or not." Turning a loathing death stare at the other elmental, he smirked, still keeping the tip of his spear pointed at her. "I really should thank you for that collar, during my travels I've become even more powerful, perhaps even more then you. And with this strength I will seize this land, and make it my own.. You've done well to feed the flames of my hate, but I wonder if you can take the heat?"

As the wind kicked up around them, she smirked. "I created the massive fire beneath you. I am oxygen to your flame. With out me, you have nothing. This land has no owner, I alone keep it as it is. You will not change a damn thing. You can try all you wish, you will never succeed. " she smirked.
The shadows around them covered her, and she was gone, the wind alone remained with him. But do not fear, she was merely dematerialized for the time being. She was in her element in these lands.

Standing up from his seat, Vlad smirked back at her. "Like I said, I don't give a damn about what you say. If I am to be drawn to this vile place for the rest of my life then I will make it more to my liking." Still feeling a presence as she disappeared, he smiled lightly. "Even if it takes me years, mark my words I will do it.. letting me into this land in the first place was your biggest mistake, woman.." Turning towards the scum covered lake, he narrowed his eyes. "How about we get rid of this liquid trash, for starters, hm? Such an eyesore it is.." Facing an open palm to the water, Vladimir's eyes began to glow dully as crimson flames danced across the lake's surface. Steam and smoke hissed and encomopassed the area as the water started to evaporate, and the debris in the lake burned.

Vixy grinned. "If you were looking for my scaled companions, they are absent at the time. It's just you and me hot shot." Her voice seeped through the air as the oxygen around the lake vanished, choking the flames, killing them. As the fire stopped, the darkness around him tightened, pulling the very light from his gaze, utter darkness now.

“Feh.. Such bold words for someone who cowers in the dark..” Without oxygen, he could only heat things up, but not spark a flame. No matter. This would help him find out if he really did grow stronger since their last scuffle. Holding his spear in a defensive posture, the weapon began to glow a dull orange hue as its temperature rapidly increased. Backing away from where he knew the lake was, Vladimir smirked. “This place has never changed since your arrival, but I will put an end to that with you fading away into your own darkness..”

Vixy grinned. "Really?" she was behind him, her hand slid along his back as she moved back into the darkness. "Don't act so rude. You enjoy to thrill.. I give you something to live for..However.. That Justine of yours... She is interfering with my plans..."

Trembling lips frowned at her words and touch. Angry as he was, he knew she was right. Vladimir could never stay in one place for long, enjoying the adventure and dangers of throwing fate to the wind. But Justine meant much more to him. Turning around, he tried to catch her with the tip of his spear as she fleeted back into the shadows. "It is true.. I enjoy living life on the edge. But I will only live for Justine's sake, now. Things might never work out between us, and a first love is a risk in itself. However, I've never been one to back down from a challenge. You try and hurt her, I'll make myself a new wallet out of your pets. And pray to whatever foul being you worship that I don't catch you alive.."

Vixy grinned and reappeared in front of him. His spear tip had grazed her arm, but had done very little damage. "Ah.. But is it only Justine you love?" she neared and her arm became a shadow. She reached inside his chest, grabbing his heart. She squeezed lightly as she grinned. "Try to think."

His eyes were quick to catch the cut on her arm, but he was annoyed with himself that it was only a small cut. Taking a step back defensively as she approached him, he wondered vaugely why she was going out of her way to try and placate his temper. Wincing a little as she took a hold of his heart, he smirked. "Lady.. You must be the local hooker here or something.." Grinning fiercely at her, he narrowed his eyes, daring her to try something so close up. "There's a fine line between infactuation and love. Even you should know that. And there's nothing you can do to cross that line into the latter either." A defiant, and confident expression on his face, the fire elemental chuckled. "Mark my words. I'll kill you..."

Vixy laughed. "Me? A hooker? Dear boy, I am gladly taken. I'll leave the whoring to Chainz, thank you. However, I do not appreciate your rude accusations, and I don't think my death will bode well with my Tremaine." She would leave the fact she was pregnant with his child out of the picture. Squeezing his heart once more, she released it and twirled back into the darkness, her hair swirling around her.

He had no clue who her lover was, but quite frankly, found himself not really caring. Clenching his teeth as she toyed with his heart once more, he lashed out at her with his spear again. "Well I sure as hell don't love you, so the feeling's mutual, you hag!" Just where was she going with this anyways? All this talk of love? "What is it you want from me? You know I'd rather die over being your little pet.. Quit being a coward and fight for once in your miserable life, wench!"

Vixy grinned. "Such words, so rude. My pet? Imbisile... Did no one tell you the true purpose of that collar? It linked you to this place.. Do not tell me you didn't feel more powerful, and more free than usual..Well..Except for the fact it was a collar." She stepped from the shadows. "Why would I kill you? I wont do it.. And I would not control you either, dear. Your a beautiful beast. Your more powerful than anyone gives you credit..It's a shame you can't control it..This girl, Justine.. I've watched her, she has some level of control, but she isn't near as powerful.. "

"Ha, so it's that you're after then, is it?" Spitting at her feet he frowned. This woman wasn't making any sense to him. And every time he tried to hit her, she disappeared off into the dark. Very aggravating indeed... "And leave Justine out of this, this only concerns you and me. Hag." He just had to throw that last word in. Sooner or later he'd get her to throw a fit. And when she made a mistake in anger, he'd be waiting... "That collar didn't do anything other then piss me off. You can't get real power from cheap trinkets like that. Power has to be earned."

She grinned. "You need to look further into the trinket, not the surface...Such pity I feel for you." She grinned. "Honestly, I don't know which way your coming, your hot when your cold...it's a little frustrating.." she frowned. "I want you to concentrate. the collar is gone, but it remains a part of you. There is no oxygen in the air right now, focus, and pull oxygen towards you..Unless it is too much.."

"Lady you're starting to piss me off even more now.. Don't tell me how to use my own element! I have no control over the surrounding air. What you're asking for is impossible! Just shut up and die!" Lunging at her, Vladimir thrusted out with his spear, trying to impale her. Vixy's talk meant little to him, and she had a habbit for beating around the bush, just barely mentioning her intentions. "If you have nothing useful to say then keep your mouth shut!"

She dodged, and as he grazed her stomach, her eyes flashed in worry and anger. "It is not nonsense.. If you would think, fire is your element, fire uses oxygen, there for you have to be able to control a bit of that before you can create fire. You aren't controlling the air... Just the oxygen..."

Keeping an aggresive posture, he frowned. "Stop playing around. What is it you want from me? You say you don't want to control me, but if you teach me how to perfect my art, I'll kill you with it.." Eyes narrowing at her lecture, his temper started to rise again. "You wouldn't help me unless there was something in it for you. Tell me what you're after!" Shouting his last words, his spear became engulfed in flames, much to his surprise and pleasure.

Vixy clapped. "Very good. What do I want from you? It isn't just you... It is you AND Justine.. The dark elementals need a Lord and a Lady. Justine has the control and the wits, and you have the power. That is why I will not control you. THAT is why I am trying to make you stronger and THAT is why I keep calling you back here. " She was tired of his childish behavior.

His expression turned from shocked to angry at her words, the flames on his spear growing brighter as his body trembled with rage. "I told you before... Leave Justine out of this! She does not belong here!" Charging at the woman, Vladimir attacked her viciously. He'd be damned if he jepordized Justine's safety. It would be better if she was spared the horrors of entering these lands. And as someone who loved her, he would never allow her to be hurt in anyways.

Vixy grinned. "You do know, the rulers could change this land.. The power not only you would have, but Justine as well. What are you afraid of?"

"Why haven't you taken power already? You already have a lover. Why are you letting me, a foreigner, take this chance? Something just doesn't seem right about that to me.. You're up to something." Holding his ground, he sneered at the woman. "You're pushing me hard to do this. Why? What is it you're hoping to gain from that? If I rise to power I'll make sure you suffer for as long as you live.."

Vixy rolled her eyes. "If I could, dont you think I would have?" she growled. "The previous Lady placed a curse on me so I couldn't rise to power when she passed.. So, I stay where I am.. Keeper of the land, and protector of the royals. " she grinned. "And I decide who takes the throne."

"Knowing that I'll make your life a living hell, you're going to make me leader here? Ha, whatever lady. We both know that this land is a trap. I will not allow Justine to come here. That's final..." Narrowing his eyes, Vladimir frowned. He was being used again, and he didn't like it. There were other elementals that could do it, weren't there?

Vixy laughed. "You know damn well you couldn't kill me, you would have already. I am part of the land now. I can't be killed, not by the likes of you. " she grinned.
"I think I'll chat with Justine.." She grinned and was gone into the shadows, yet again. As the shadows cleared, she was gone.
