[Private/Social/Mossino/Chiyo]

It twas...a dark night to say the least. It didn't help that the giant trees in the forest were blocking any form of moonlight to enter the area. This was perfect for the rogue Nothel. He loved the dark, and loved being away from people. He came here every so often at night to relax himself. Of course, this wouldn't happen this time, as a fellow mage would be approaching him.

chiyo looked up at the sky with a huge sigh. it was such a beautiful night... her tiny feet found the familiar path as she walked. she sensed another presence and froze. who else knew of this place? And why we're they here now?

Nothel stood up, making a small rustle in the leaves. He knew someone was nearby. Drawing a small knife from his side, he cuts his finger. Some blood drips and he forms it into a small spear, ready to attack whoever got near. They couldn't see each other, yet.

Chiyo continued walking, but she cut her finger on the shard of glass she always carried with her now, forming a whip made of her own blood. The young woman narrowed her eyes, a pair of icy jewels burning in the darkness. As Chiyo stepped into the area she knew so well she whistled, calling her pet to her.

Chiyo would hear a small crunch of leaves and then a woosh. Suddenly, Chiyo would sense magic coming at her, and fast. She had about a second to react, be quick!

The young mage felt the magic coming and lashed out with the bloodwhip. Her blue eyes were full of rage, and her body poised tensely. "who's there?!" she called, stiff with anger.

The bloodwhip hit spear made out a crimson, red liquid...wait, it was blood, the spear was made out of blood.

Another footstep, "It does not matter, who are you, a Runeknight?"

"No, the Rune Knights are gone. Nor does it matter who I am. It does matter to me, however, why you are here, in my favorite spot." Chiyo sighed and dragged her free hand through her hair, waiting for a response so she could track the source of the voice.

The voice came from a different location this time. Seems that the person was circling her, slowly, quietly. "Hmph, this is where I come when I want to be alone.."

Chiyo put one hand out, feeling for her pet. "This my spot. I think id've seen you here before now." The young woman concentrated, sensing the strangers magical energy.

The man had stopped behind her. "I don't get around here often..and this is a big forest.." She realized he was standing just out of eyeshot from her, 10 feet behind her.

Chiyo whirled to face the stranger. " It is interesting that you use blood magic... You know blood magic is useless against me? I can control anyone's blood, so nice try." The mage smirked at him, her face full of knowledge. In reality she could do much more, but whatever.
