Their clicking sounds were soon mixed with child-like screams that were getting louder the more they shone brighter, one in orange and green while the other in blue and red. One of the puppets, the one that looked more masculine, seemed to be screaming in pain while the other, more feminine one was screaming out of sadness. It lasted for a moment or two before everything went silent again. Then, they stood up from the ground as a zombie would rise from its grave. They wore the Masks of Zaturna, one of Mania and one of Sorrow. Their large yellow eyes darted around and Urna the Mask of Sorrow showed signs of elatedness as she picked up her favorite stuffed toy. Zatu the Mask of Mania approached his sister and placed his forehead before hers. They closed their eyes, delighted upon seeing each other once again before they went to go their separate ways. After all, they have a mission to complete. [hr] [center] [color=#DB9CB7]TIME:[/color] Morning [color=#DB9CB7]LOCATION:[/color] Roshmi City [color=#DB9CB7]INTERACTIONS:[/color] Ayita [@13org], Cadence [@Helo][/center] [hr] As Sakura smiled at how Cade replied to her teasing, she felt like something deep within her was set free. [i]Children, you know what to do,[/i] Sakura said in her head. She then turned to her two companions and acted like everything was just as normal as they should be. [color=#DB9CB7]"Hm. I do agree with you on that point, Cade. Landing a physical hit on your opponent and using your physical form to hunt down prey seemed to feel more fulfilling, one might say. However, spells, hexes, and magic are not only tools of 'deception' as you might believe. Even the simplest of magic requires a lot of concentration and creativity on the caster's part just so it can be used to its full potential. I'd say that magic is much more complex and challenging yet adaptable and even fun that just simply swinging a sword or a fist on your foe and calling it a day,"[/color] Sakura said to Cade with a teasing smile. The demoness was not surprised by the demi-human's choice of words; warriors who were not gifted in the arts of sorcery either look at magic casters with envy or disdain. She observed the way Cade's tail flicked when he boasted of a proud moment and she found herself smiling earnestly at him. [color=#DB9CB7]"Same here, Cade. Same here,"[/color] Sakura said with her eyes shining with pride upon remembering the first subject she successfully had to [s]torture with[/s] practice her magic on. Sakura turned her attention to Ayita when the human recalled her hunting days and her celebration with her tribe. Judging from how fast her reflexes were when running away from Soruklithbaal, Sakura already had an idea how much of a skilled huntress Ayita was. Add to that her newfound affinity for magic and she could one day become a very skilled sorcerer-warrior hybrid. The demoness could already see how she could be powerful in battle. [color=#DB9CB7]"Oh that sounds so delightful, Ayita! We may not be a part of your tribe but we'll do our best to make you feel at home here in Avalia, even though an evil lich king has released an order to kill you and several others like you. Hm-hm. Just an average day in Avalia,"[/color] Sakura cheerfully said to her as she linked her arm with Ayita's, holding her parasol over them to shade them both from the sun. [color=#DB9CB7]"Go and take your time with your sharp 'toys', Cade. After this, we will feast like there's no tomorrow,"[/color] Sakura said to the both of them as her stomach grumbled.
