Pearly white skin glinted in the light, contrasting vivid red eyes that burned with an intense anger. Her red hair seems to almost swirl up around her as she moved, making no noise, but t=making the air tense up around her. Souls fled from the usually calm, sweet angel, rarely having seen her like this.
The red dragon clung to his mistress's neck as she tore through the hallway, his eyes wide and frantic. His usually calm demeanor gone as he clung tightly. Ricochet knew what was coming...H had seen Allyssa get angry like this before...And he knew whom it was directed towards..Vladimir...The soul he had threatened was one of Allyssa's, which angered her more.

Feeling something odd, and unwelcoming in the usually hospitable atmosphere, Nikolai frowned, sitting up on the edge of his bed. Glancing at the doorway that led to their room, he wondered what was going on. He and his brother had yet to learn of Allyssa, the temple’s other guardian, and Nikolai was sure that the hostility in the air was not from Crissy… “Hey, Vlad, wake up. You feel that?”
In a bed on the opposite side of the room, his brother smirked, and sat up as well. Glaring at the door that opened up into the halls, he smirked. “Probably Crissy, thinking I was torturing another one of her precious balls of light…” Rolling his eyes, he frowned as well, having his doubts. Never one to be caught off guard, he formed a fireball in his hands, and waited patiently for the inevitable. He knew the problem had something to do with him, it always seem to be that way…

Slamming the door open, Allyssa's cold eyes swept across the room, landing on Vladimir. Ignoring the fact that she had almost destroyed the wall, Allyssa kept her demon-like gaze on Vladimir.
Ricochet barely peeked over her shoulder at Vladimir. Seeing the fireball in his hand, he suddenly tore away from her and sped towards him. Stopping in mid air inches from him, he hissed angrily, smoke fuming from his nostrils.

Closing his eyes as a small gust of wind came flying in, Nikolai frowned, remaining on his bed. Yup, it definitely wasn’t Crissy… As his eyes opened up, he took a moment to stare at Allyssa, and assess the situation. “I’m guessing that we’re in trouble for something…?” Obviously, but he didn’t want a battle raging on in this tiny enclosure, especially with him in it. And so, he tried to lighten the mood a little. “Vladimir, whatever it is, just apologize already, will you?”
Not at all impressed by her entry, Vladimir scoffed at the diminutive dragon, ignoring Allyssa’s death glare altogether. Not really aware that he was making the tense moment worse, he glared back at Ricochet, tossing his fireball up into the air before catching it with the same hand. Repeating this movement, he continued to keep his gaze locked on Ricochet. “Apologize for what! They’re the ones barging on in here, not even knocking, and now I have this winged lizard looking at me like I’m his mortal enemy! If anything, I think I’m the one who needs an explanation.”

Flashing a kinder smile, Allyssa nodded to Nick. "Oh, your not the one I;m after Love. " She said kindly, giving him a bow. "If you need anything, just let me or Crissy know. " As her gaze tore from Nick to Vladimir, her eyes grew stone cold again...Like two different people in one.
Fuming, Allyssa pounded towards him, grabbing his arm and pulling him up from the bed, slamming him into the wall. As she released him, she slapped him. "If you EVER threaten to harm one of our spirits here, You will become one yourself. I will not throw you out, I'm not like you, but dont you ever, ever lay a hand on one of our spirits..Crissy may not do anything, but I wont hesitate to." She snarled, her hair still bristling behind her as all the fur on her tail and ears stood on end.
Ricochet fumed even more at being called a lizard..How rude...Flying up to Allyssa, he sat on her shoulder, winding around her neck and glaring at Vladimir.

“Um…” Blinking at the sudden shift of emotions, Nikolai slowly nodded. “Okay… I guess… Thanks…” Watching Vladimir get slammed into a wall, he raised a brow. This could go one of either two ways… A: Vladamir goes ballistic, and burns down half of the building, or B: The intimidation Nikolai felt would be mutual with his brother, forcing the fire elemental to behave… Either way, he was still a little nervous about the situation.
As the fireball disappeared, he caught his breath, leaning back against the wall. How strong was this woman!? He had the breath knocked clean out of his lungs! Tilting his head down so his hair covered his eyes, Vladimir growled softly at Allyssa. Her tail and ears said it all. “Accursed mutt… Touch me again, and I’ll char your soul!”

Allyssa only growled at his response. "You can try." she seethed as she leaned closer to him. " I don't care who, or what you are. Fire can be easily stopped by water, which I will not hesitate to get. You are nothing but a stranger looking for shelter, which we offered YOU could at least try and be respectable to those who live here. If not truly, then fake it when your around me or anyone else, keep your pathetic kill all attitude to your self, got it?" She snarled. Her eyes flashed in irritation as she released his arm.
Ricochet was flat against her neck, her words meant nothing to the dragon, who was seemingly sleeping. ...Amazing..A dargon who at the drop of a pin could become twice the size od Giselle, and shoot fire was always asleep.....

Nikolai found himself even more nervous as Allyssa mention something about getting water. True, Valdimir was his brother, but this argument was between them two. He’d hesitate a bit if asked to join in.
Tilting his head up, his scarlet eyes portrayed his rage in a menacing glare. As the fire elemental was let go, his muscles tensed, and he spoke in an irritated tone through clenched teeth. “Don’t tell me what I can and cannot do… What makes you think that you can best me where countless others have failed! And you don’t even know me, so lay off, will ya!”

Her eyes flashed. "I'm not trying to best you you dumb ass! This is my terra, here, we have rules. Either follow them when I'm around, or get your ass out. I have enough to deal with, I dont need some dumb ass guy who thinks because he can fight, is better than everyone else. I dont give a damn what you think I am, or how high you hold your self, here, you are an average person, no better than anyone else. I dont give a a damn what you say, but you will follow our rules." she seethed.

And that was it. The last straw that broke the camel’s back. Trembling visibly in rage, he tilted his head down and clenched his teeth. Vladimir spoke in a soft, yet harsh tone. “Shut up… Just shut up!” The temperature in the room started to rise dramatically as he started to harness his power, and flames appeared covering his fists. “I’ve had enough of this!”
Eyes widening, Nikolai moved quickly. Getting up from his bed, he dashed over to his brother before forming a fist and slamming it into Vladimir’s cheek. He was also shaking in bitter fury. “damn it, Vladimir! What the hell’s your problem! How many homes will we have to lose for you to get it through that thick skull of yours!”

Seeing his hands, had only increased her rage. Fighting?! In this holy place? She was beginning to get very weary of this guy...Crissy didn't need this aggravation, neither did she.
Folding her arms, she merely raised a brow as Nick intervened. "wise move." she told him gently before turning. "I don't want to come back here." she snarled before heading to the door.

Glaring at Nick, the fire elemental continued to bathe his hands in flames. “Lay off! I don’t need to hear it from you, Nikolai!” He returned the punch, but with much, much more force, of course. The result was his brother going straight through the wall and outside. “How many times will we have to fight before it gets through your thick skull! I don’t care! I don’t want your help, and I never asked for it!” Stepping outside via the hole in the wall, he smirked. “To hell with all this! And to hell with you!”
Propping himself up on his elbows, Nikolai’s eyes began to glow a dull blue color. “That’s it… I’ve had it with your crap attitude, Vladimir!” Using the moisture in the air, he formed a large torrent of water, slamming it into his brother and forcing him back into the surrounding fence. “You don’t want my help, fine! I’ll just settle our differences here and now!”

Turning, Ally growled. Her eyes gaped at the hole in the wall. Moving quickly, she growled. Stepping out from the hole, she gently whistled. Tons of spirits covered the wall, and slowly, the wall rebuilt itself, turning towards the brother, her eyes grew even wider as Vladimir hit the gate. Shouting at Nickolai, her voice wavered. "Be careful with that gate! IF it breaks, it will be hard as hell to re cleanse the place, and many spirits will be lost to the shadows!"

Clenching his teeth, Nick redirected the direction of the flow, and used it to force his brother onto the ground. Pinning Vladimir down, he cried out in frustration. “Just what is your problem! Why do you have to mess everything up! You never acted like this when mom and dad were still alive!” Knowing he had touched a soft spot, the water elemental growled softly, trying to suppress his brother.
At that one comment concerning their parents, Vladimir’s rage exploded. His spear appeared in his grasp, and there was a dangerous light in his eyes. Forcing himself to stand, his body became covered in flames for a few seconds, turning the water into steam, and taking away a good deal of oxygen from the air. “Shut up! Just shut up! I’m tired of hearing you preach!”

Crissy had come out by then. "Vladimir.." she said softly, under her breath. Running, she skidded to a stop between Nickolai and Vladimir. "Leave him be! If you would just let him go, let him find his own peace! " she said gently to Nickolai. An idea struck her head. She remembered helping Lupus and Syrenia, even Jacob. "Wait! I don't know if this will help, but it will only do one of two things, either it will help...Or worsen things...but I'm willing to try it. " Turning around, she faced Vladimir. "Would you like to see your parents again..?" she asked softly.
Allyssa watched gently before making her way to Nickolai's side.

Narrowing his eyes at Crissy, Vladimir’s rage peaked again at the mention of their parents. Raising his spear up to attack, he yelled at her in reply. “I don’t need my parents! I don’t need Nick! And I sure as hell don’t need you! Keep your sympathy for the weaklings! ‘cause I don’t need it!” He turned quickly, aiming a blow towards the surrounding fence. However, the sound of metal grating upon metal answered his strike, and he glared at his brother, barring his way.
“Is this what you’ve chosen, Vladimir… Is this what you’ve become!” Holding up his scythe to block Vladimir’s attack, Nikolai bit his lower lip, pushed past his limits of tolerance and into the unpredictability of angry frustration. “So… This is how it’ll be from now on, then… As opposite elements we never could get along… Hopefully as enemies, we’ll be able to find some sort of common ground...”

"Way to go.." Allyssa said to her sister who was now in tears.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear a thing from you! You answer everything was more anger, that's not why we were sent here and you know it!" She yelled angrily back to her.
Not ready for movement, Allyssa barely had a chance before skin hit skin, and she felt the pain of her sisters hand against her cheek. The spirits above them seemed to shatter into bits as the two girls stared at each other. With each minute that passed of the two glaring in hatred at the other, the shadows outside the fence crept further and further inside as the purity of the place began to dissipate.

Tensing as Nick started to push back, Vladimir paused for a moment as his brother stepped aside, granting him passage. There was a look of pain and regret on his face, but Vladimir only smirked at him and walked past the water elemental. “Things never would have worked out even if they were still alive…” He could see the shadows trying to invade, and he ignored them before jumping over the fence. “..I’m sorry, Nick…”
With a sigh, the water elemental nodded, just staring at the ground. “It was fun while it lasted, I must admit… But perhaps this is best, huh.. I’ll see you around then…” His scythe disappeared, and he too glanced at the shadows coming inside. “Ms. Crissy, we have a problem…” Gesturing to the darkness, he bit his lower lip, letting his brother go off on his own. They’d see each other later on, he knew.

Turning both of the girls heads, they were both surprised by the shadows. "Apologize." Allyssa whispered to her sister. "No. You." "For what?!" "For handling things wrong!" "You slapped me!"You deserved it!"Fine! I'm Sorry!"
Surprised by her sisters apology, Crissy smiled gently and hugged her. Hugging her back, Allyssa sighed. "We need more space from one another..A bigger temple?" "Yes.. A bigger temple will do fine." The two turned, already making plans for the temple as the shadows still began to creep closer.
Why though? Allyssa had lied. Her apology wasn't genuine, meaning she was still angry at her sister. If the two were not in sync with the other, the purity protecting the spirits began to fade. Though the shadows crept very slowly, some spirits were still lost to the darkness.

Clearing his throat, Nick raised a brow. “Um… Why are the shadows still coming…?” He took a step back away from them, not quite liking this aspect of getting tainted. That definitely would not make his day… He couldn’t wash them away either, so he just kept backing up. He also doubted the sincerity of Allyssa’s words, raising a brow at her as well.

Turning, Crissy gasped gently."I dunno..." Looking at Allyssa, her eyes were filled with question."Don't look at me! I apologized! " she lied. "Everyone inside, even the spirits."
Nodding, Crissy and Allyssa whistled. Thousands of spirits seemed to appear from nowhere, all flooding inside of the large temple. Gizelle and Ricochet both found their ways to their masters and followed as the tow walked to the temple. Looking over her shoulders and Nick, she smiled gently. "You might want to come too."

Nick was staring at Allyssa suspiciously, and shook his head. "It's a sad day when angels cannot be true to one another... If that's the case, then I might as well try to force the shadows back by force..." His scythe appeared in his hands once more, and he gently ushered everyone inside before closing the door and forming a protective barrier around the temple itself. "..So be it..."

His words haunted Allyssa. What was she doing? She was a damn angel and she couldn't forgive her sister.."Crissy I-"
"Allyssa, I'm sorry. I cam down on you too hard, and expected you to take the blame. I was mad...Im not used to that emotion.." Crissy said gently, a tear rolling down her cheek.
"Crissy...I...I'm sorry too..I lied earlier...about apologizing..I'm sorry.." she said gently.
"It's alright, but we do need a bigger temple, just look how crowded we are.."
"Come one, lets go fix the gates..." The two nodded and headed outside. Placing their hands together, the two began to chant gently. A forceful wave of air blast from the two, sending the darkness back outside of the gate which began to shimmer again.
Walking up to Nick, Allyssa shrugged, "Thank you."

Releasing his barrier from the temple, he just nodded before looking away to the part of the fence that his brother had jumped over. “…” It was going to be a lot quieter without Vladimir around… Something he thought that he’d be happy to experience. But, you don’t know what you got till it’s gone. With a heavy sigh, he headed for the gate’s entrance, leaning his scythe against his shoulder. “I hope you two find your peace… There’s no more reason for me to stay here..."

"Be careful.." They both called.
"And Tell Vlad, when you find him, he needs to speak with his parents..They want to see him, and you..Together." Crissy called.

Without looking back, he exited the fence and waved back to them. He stopped though, when Crissy mentioned his parents. “..I..I’m sorry, Ms. Crissy… But the next time we come here, together, I’m afraid it’ll be for other reasons then to just say hello…” Nick knew that now he would have to fight his brother… And there was a very good chance of death for both of them. “..Tell our parents that… We’re sorry…”

Crissy nodded and looked at allyssa gently. "They need prayer..." She told her.
Allyssa shrugged. "Or a protection spell...Something to at least keep them alive.."
Crissy nodded, a mischievous smile on her face.

Nick couldn’t quite hear what they were talking about, but it didn’t matter. Walking off, he started to head for a place he had read about. Alkaia, it had been named. There, he would learn what he could, then confront his volatile brother. The outcome? He had no clue. Whatever happened would happen. He supposed.
