The two clans of the archangels, the Raven and the Dove, are at war against each other. The Ravens, beings of the what people would consider 'evil' or 'fallen angels' and the Doves, beings of the 'purer' thoughts and 'purer' of mind. The war has been going on for centuries, a never ending hostility. The cause of such strife is only known to the leaders or the older angels of each clan and related to some large quarel over the beliefs of what was right and what was wrong between the clans. What underlies the two forces' strife may be of the doomed fates by their ego and ignorance, ... maybe even power. ... And what underlies the existence of certain angels, the newer generation, may change the course of this situation, however, things may go deeper and may be more than what things seem to be....
(That part was put together by Laila_Crow, I added somethings but the lay out is by her. I was kinda stuck on how to open this up ^_^

)

Wisteria, a clan member of the Doves, flew high in the sky, doing her normal routes. She was on one of her usual scout missions from the leader, she was making sure none of the Raven's were crossing the border or trying anything funny with one of the outer camps of the Doves. The Ravens were notorious for playing pranks on the Doves, but it was more the younger generation that egged on the fights in this timer period. Sure, there were was still tension, but there were a little less battles. Now, Wisteria isn't saying there aren't battles, heck she still have a few wounds from the last one a week or less ago, but it was more that the newer, younger Ravens thought that being a Raven meant you got to fight all the time. They wanted action, even some of the Doves couldn't stand the silence of the Raven's for long, always pointing accusations that they are planning something huge. Wisteria kept most of this to herself, her leaders would hate it if she spoke against their orders, and in a way she knew she didn't know somethings that played a large role in why there were such tensions between the Doves and the Ravens. Her mind seemed to drift between these matters and the borders from time to time. Her long black hair whipping around as her rather large sized wings, at least for a female, flapped high and strongly against the wind.

Razial had a smirk on his face and he dashed from tree to tree in the Raven's edge of the forest, it seemed to be darker than the side of the Doves. There was a light that separated the darker woods and the lighter woods, he found it slightly ironic and funny how that worked. It was like it came straight out of a, oh what did you call it.........A fairy tale? Oh yeah! That was it, what the humans called it right? A fairy tale. He shrugged slightly as it streamed through his prank-ish thoughts, he was far more interested in what he had planned for one of the Doves' outer camps, one that was secluded, one that was a little ways off from the rest of the camps. Then it hit him, a devil-ish smirk spread upon his face as the idea floated into his head. Razial quickened his pace, using his wings as jets so he could get more speed. His wings were normal length, probably a bit thinner than normal but they were well muscled, like an athlete's body, but packed into his wings, strong yet slender. He used that to his advantage, and against anyone who made fun of him for having slender wings. He was always ready to start a fight, anytime there was a chance for a slip up, he was found there, causing fights. He was liked by a few of the elders, but the others thought of him as one of the trouble makers. 'Guilty is charged, though.'

It was in the early daylight - the skies were blue and gave light to broad areas; grassland, forestry, and civilization's architecture and whereabouts on what could've been perfect darkness to sneak throughout - and easily unnoticed - through and pass the Dove Clan's boundary-line! The Raven Clan - it's civilization was beautiful. Detailed churches, arches, and buildings were designed with many intricate details of the curves of plant stems and of leaf and flower patterns - and most astoundingly the many emblems of the Raven itself was also present in many designs of the civilization. There'd be gatherings, talks, and simple chat throughout the place - for it seems as if many have chosen the Raven's side upon their deaths, but that is only what some of the Ravens themselves think of. Meetings would happen at the church every four months for the public archangels, but when situations become dire, the higher ranked Ravens would be called upon with the Celestial Lords to discuss and to commence operations for the clan as well as to give orders in maintaining the defenses, training, and scouting within the Raven's outland, homeland, and core bases. Being a high-ranked archangel, or at least being told as one, requires from simple listening to the three times a year meetings, to being the leaders over areas of the three regions and maintaining order throughout the territory.

A girl with folded colossal black wings runs towards the edge of one highest yet safest cliff to jump off of - Bolivar Cliff. It wasn't necessary to jump off from an elevation, but Casey, a Raven, loved the feeling of running and of the crisp cold air against her skin and face. She leaps off the edge with a powerful jump and releases her wings in midair - a beautiful show with her shadow that had covered a great area upon the multitude and the variety of bright and dark green shades of the forest trees. High ranked, or low ranked - in the end, it seems that the Ravens aren't very differentiating with the classes of high ranked and low ranked. Just what I thought. Casey flaps and changes the aerial dynamics of her wings and her position as she attempts a quick and rather steep downwards spiral with a sudden halt to the high areas just above the tree tops. She flies faster - the ancient Aenoria forests is actually very spacious and at the same time challenging - there were still wide spaces just between the cracks and splits between the many trunks and branches. Casey folds her wings a bit closer to her as she dives in - they expand and bend as Casey turns and moves herself to perfectly fit and squeeze through the alternating forms of the openings between the clustered colossuses vines, leaves, and branches of the eternal forest in the realm of the celestial beings. Then, within her sight, she had seen a man that was of her own kind - slender black wings. Flying up to him, and seeing the excitement for trouble in his face reminded of the excitement of mischief she has for herself. She tries to control her expression of a slightly toothy roguish grin into a more playful smile, but when she had also seen what he was looking at, it made her forget about all of the general principles of being an image of an archangelic citizen. She speaks to him, "Hey, name's Casey. Your name?" She then gestures to the one of the camps that was rather close to the boundary line of the two clans - a lone camp that was an easy target. "What do you plan to do ... and may I join?" Truly, Casey didn't have a plan - and plans weren't her style in this type of situation. Maybe he has the same thought as she did, maybe not. Regardless, she was fine with anything - she just wants to rumble.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Below the cool shades of the draping branches and leaves of a weeping birch tree lie an archangelic Dove boy who lies asleep in the extreme outlands of the Dove Clan within the Cenobia lands, something like the life lands or so they called it. It was the place where newcomers would arrive. It was also a relatively safe haven against the Ravens - an almost sacred place far from the reach of the opposing clan, the Ravens. It was assured that some archangels were sent to check over the lands, but there was a controversy about leaving the Cenobia lands alone and undisturbed - reasons for that is still unclear. Those who venture do so on their own will, for there's no true objection with the life lands at the moment. The leaders are also not very concerned with the discussions of it either.

Some specs of light goes through the branches of the weeping birch tree, creating a fairly graceful scene with the boy's peaceful face as the whiteness of his stupendous and strong wings, his medium to long hair, and light colored clothing made his presence radiate with the sunlight like a god - absolutely breathtaking. However, within the boy's mind lies a dream-like state.

Within the mind of the boy, he was running from the ruins of a city until the image of the city disappeared behind him and the forestry had surrounded him. He became lost for certain amount of time, the forest repeating the same path over and over until he decided to halt. He had then seen two shining lights further within the cluster of trees. Through the mist, a white light had shone at the right and a black light at the left. A voice had called to him. Choose. Aaron had became cautious, uncertain as to which one he should choose and began to question this sudden and suspicious occurrence to the voice. Then, the voice had called again. Choose. A large crack and crunch was heard behind him, as if there was a monster following all along. He didn't look back, could not look back, as the trees to his left became blackened and ill from the monster's touch and as the roar behind became louder. He had ran to the right. The angels of the dark and the angels of the light - he had never believed in any of this until now.

As he reached for the light, he was soon to awake from the strange dream ...

Razial was slightly surprised when he heard someone speak to him, his dark grey sparked with mischief turned their gaze onto the young Raven girl. He smirked slightly and said "Razial, my lady." Playfully bowing, he glanced up at the girl and said "You want to join my mischief? Hmm.... You can if you can join if you can keep up." His playful smirk graced his lips and winked over at her, flapping the tips of his slender black wings, he viewed almost everything as a game. He lifted himself into the air and nodded to her, for her to follow him, shooting off through the forest. He didn't fly high, he flew close to the ground and at impeccable speeds, he would look back to look back to see if Casey could keep up, any Raven knew that if one was up to mischief it was more likely to be to annoy the Doves. And anyone who knew of him, not to say he was famous, he wasn't but he was known to the elders for causing trouble. He always had a plan up his sleeve, he stopped at the edge of their territory, waiting for Casey, to see if she had decided to come. He knew the outer banks of the Dove territory quite well from all of the his previous mischief plans.

Wisteria sighed, she hadn't seen much trouble but she had a feeling in her gut something was going to go wrong. She circled around the last town and dived down, she had to do check up with the camp's chief. She lifted her wings a different angle, making her slightly float, using her wings as a sort of parachute. As she landed onto the ground, her long red hair fell around her and she looked around for the chief. She had to make sure each town had enough supplies and haven't had any misfortunes. She folded her large wings into her back and she began to search around for the chief, he wasn't in his house so she had to assume he was out with the elders at this town. She wasn't from around this town, she was found near one of the larger towns, towards the heart of the Dove territory, and so she was taken in by one of the elder and taught how to fly and and soon she was given responsibilities. She basically considered the elder as a sort of mother figure, Doves and Ravens didn't have parents but they knew the humans did, from stories they were told of them.

Casey smiled at his playfulness. She will most certainly get somewhere on this 'game' with the Doves, messing with them and all. And twice the fun with another Raven. He seems to know well on what he was doing. She jumps down from where she was, then spreads her wings and flies off low to the ground and follows right behind Razial, dodging and moving swiftly through the trees that were in her way - flawlessly and gracefully keeping up with the fast Raven, flying not so far behind him. She ended her flight right next to where Razial was, right before the border. After landing with the utmost softness to prevent detection, it was funny how the Raven's side of the forest had more darkness, like a dark and mysterious aura, than the Doves' glowing and welcoming side of the forest. Quite a resemblance to the situation. It is well that right now isn't after sunset, otherwise the elders will be upset. She could see her target even closer by the white wings in the distance, yet to be aware of the two ravens that would soon cause misery to their day. She was tempted to take the first move, but was quickly reminded to remain stealthy. She packs her wings tight to her body, as she goes to prowl closer to the camp, remaining low to the ground as well as trying to not step on leaves, twigs, pebbles, and the like of the forest. She gestures Razial to follow up with this opportunity including his own actions with such an opportunity. Closer, she could hear them speaking about a new Dove at the Cenobia lands. Similar to an area that we have, but it's slightly different. "I heard that he's the one that the girls are fawning over. He is said to have the most fair face to be seen around here for a long time. If any of you meet him, let me in on it." Then, another voice. "I'd go there myself, but ..." Another, "I also heard that he has beautiful grey eyes. He must be one of a kind." Just a little closer, little oh-so-pure birdies. You shall soon be presented with the effect of the element of surprise ... and fear ... Casey positions herself between the Dovelands and the Dove camp, about to flank them.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Aaron sat up with a jolt. The collected leaves that were fell on him were now floating over him from the sudden movement. They land gently on his hair, lap, and shoulders. It has seemed that his old clothes weren't the same worn-out jacket, and scarf, but instead, the clothing had turned into a more well-presented and comfortable white uniform. He takes off the gloves, holding them in one hand to feel the soft grass near him. He can tell that some of leaves had landed on something on his back. He reaches his hand behind him, feeling something smooth, soft, and warm - almost fluffy and furry like.

...

He stands up, and lets his large, snow-white wings unfold with a loud flap. He then looks behind himself, his eyes widened with excitement. Wings ... He then looks out, and sees a civilization not so far from where he was at. He looks at the area surrounding him; the sunlight, the great lands, the beautiful skies, and at the great weeping willow behind him. He gave great appreciation in being able to live and see these things himself. He leaps towards the human-like civilization with a big flap from his wings as he sets off in the air towards such a place. Well, no where else to go. Might as well go there. As he arrived in the air, he noticed the appearances of the people, and assumes that he doesn't look too out of place. He decides to look around and stay near the border as he ventures further into the unknown places of the Doves. He then sets his wings like a glider, and flies through the skies as he observes the area below him. Not knowing that some 'secret admirers' were keeping watch on him as he floats around.

Two angels were arguing with each other. They whispered, "See ya' Cyan. I will show him around."

"No, I will. And you're supposed to be on camp duty."

"Both of us want to see this boy, it seems. Well here's the deal - "

One of the angel flies off towards Aaron, cutting off the other angel.

The other follows as well.

Razial looked up at Casey and he smirked and pointed towards the east and made a sign that there was a Dove camp their and he gave her a crooked grin. It was obvious that he had plans of his own and he didn't mind to have help from another Raven, who could keep up with him. He looked in the air and his smirk only grew, he had seen his favorite Dove, she always made things difficult for him and he loved a challenge. He lifted the tips of his wings and pointed in the direction of the floating dove, her wings large for a female and from the gold along her body showed she was rather high castes. Razial didn't look afraid, but rather even more excitement growing, he glanced at her and nodded his head as a signal to go. When they were already at the camp he would tell her, or rather show her what he was doing. Right now they were at risk of being caught if they made too much sound. "You ready to make some commotion?" He whispered softly, his voice deep and low and seemed nice to the ear but any Raven could hear the maliciousness behind it. He had already set up a few already pranks up in the camp, last time he was there, you always have to be prepared. Razail shot off into the tall grass and he kept down, lucky for him the Dove's land was full of tall grass, bad for them was good for him. As he came closer he noticed that the guards were all leaving, he chuckled darkly and thought 'Can they make this any more easier?'

Wisteria walked around the town, watching out for the chief, her golden anklets gently clanging against her skin. She had a feeling something was going to go wrong, and so she stayed around, other Dove's slightly stared at her. She wasn't a normal around these parts so of course she would cause a small commotion, and though she noticed that she did this where ever she went, or at least in the smaller camps. She was of higher caste than most of the other Doves here, other than the chief. And so to go along with her caste she was to always to wear her golden jewelry, anklets, bracelets, and necklaces and her normal white dress, but most Dove's wore white. She continued on her way, ignoring the stares, walking with her head up and her quiet nature seemed to make people think her pridefully. Wisteria stopped and asked a few people where the Chief seemed to be, most thought that he was at his house or with the elders. She sighed and nodded and decided to walk around for a bit more, if the chief was with the elder it had to be important matters and she was not about to get in the middle of that.

Casey purred inside from his voice for a mere split second – he is indeed charming. However, her soul was more up and about for messing with the Doves, and she doesn’t want to calm down just yet. "Of course!" Casey whispered, but deep inside, she was getting quite impatient, and so she decided to make up her mind and just jump at the Doves. A prank, not a fight. Casey sighs, I wonder if I can just leave it at theiving their belongings? Because I can make the distractions. Least they won’t be too injured this way. Indeed, she may be a Raven and they the Doves, but she’s not as bratty and senseless as some think she is. She has yet a good reason to extremely harm someone. Casey examines the Doves. They were carrying bags. I wonder what’s in there. Jewelry, secret items, secret information, or training books. These Doves don’t seem quite aware enough to be good watchers. Least of all camping this far out. “So, are you going to make the first move, or me?” Casey then grabs a rock, merely for utility sake, not devising any harm. She’s wondering whether the two are going to target the Dove Camp, the flying Dove, or both. Course, the plan can easily work many ways since they both have caused ruckuses and had dealt and fought in many troubles as well as Casey had assumed, but she’s still aware on at least taking some factors into consideration, and so she reluctantly holds back. “Ready any time now.” She then imagines throwing one rock right between the space of two of the Doves heads, the stone making a strong and loud contact with a tree. A distraction enough to cause fear and a reaction. She smiles at her imagination and at their fearful faces and wildly waving wings from their adrenaline rush. If this was war, they’d be the first ones out. Too bad I don’t have my weapons. Or a mask. Being exposed is too great of a risk. The least I have are my wits and fists. She had also taken note of the Dove in the sky who had wore jewelry. She seems to be of higher rank. I wonder how she’s like? Casey tilts her head for a second in curiosity. I was never told that I’m a high ranked, and so perhaps seeing her duties and actions to a prank might let me know a bit about her and of being high ranked.
_____________________________________________________
… ! Aaron was suddenly grabbed by both of his arms. He was soon greeted by two female Doves. “Hey there! I just thought that you’d like a tour around this place!” The other angel buts in, forcefully hugging and pulling his arm towards her direction. “Follow me! I know everything to your mind’s inquisition! Let’s start with the towns over there - ”
The other angel grabs and pulls his other arm towards herself as she tries to fly ahead of him. “No, Cyan. I think he’d be more interested in the forests, cliffs, and river areas than the Dove civilizations!”

The Cyan Angel pouts and then whines, “But Sheryl, it’s important that he is to also know of our clans ranks, meetings, systems, and training!”
The Sheryl Angel replies, “I just want to show off my knowledge of the Dove clan’s adventurous areas – for I am quite specialized at my job of it!”

Cyan thinks, Yes, including your speciality at abandoning it too. “Say, boy - what’s your name? My name’s Cyan. And if I may, let me show you around in this archangelic society?”
“And I’m Sheryl. Let me show you around too, alright?” Sheryl and Cyan had then glared at eachother.
And then the boy smiled, it had set the girls’ soul on fire with their attraction to him. “My name’s Aaron Bhaltair Clovis. It’s nice to meet you two, Cyan and Sheryl. It would be pleasant of you two could - ”
The two Dove girls started to pull at opposing directions while holding Aaron’s arms as Aaron struggled to keep his flying position correct, trying to prevent himself from flying awkwardly. As the girls saw his very slightly distressed expression, they stopped and tried to hug him close up and WAY too personal as the two Dove girls continued to glare at eachother with hostility towards eachother over the boy.

Aaron was glad that he was welcomed easily, but was honestly a bit annoyed at the situation, he was finally able to struggle and slip out from between the two fiery Doves as he tries to fly away to create some personal space. “I’m sure both of you can show me around?”
The angels looked at him with dreamy eyes, the both had spoke, “Yes, of course fellow Dove!” The two then grabbed his arms and flew off together, arguing and pulling him back and forth along the way, but they were less aggressive this time as they shared the turns of telling information than trying to fight over the boy. One of them said, “You should really meet up with the Chiefs! I think there’s one where the camps are at.” The three then flew off. The angels tugged at him forcefully from time to time, not wanting to let go of the angel boy and making him suddenly jerk to the right and to the left every so often.

Razial smirked and said "Looks like you already made the first move, grabbing the rock, I believe your mind is alrighty thinking of how your going to use it, huh sweetheart." Winking at her and he watched for a second and said "Aw, these Doves are the scared kind aye? Any way, create a distraction. I have a couple pranks set up already, I'll tell you when it's time to get our wings out of here. Watch out for her, by the way, she isn't as easy. Oh, and they have a few valuables here, jewels and a few good weapons, see if you can get some. They go big back home." Giving Casey the thumbs up as he flew behind a couple houses, he had hidden some of his pranks behind a house, somewhere where no one would look. The Cheif's house, he smirked as he came upon the house and he ducked under the house and began to grab all of his smoke bombs and home-made explosives. They weren't huge explosives, but rather the ones that would cause a good bit of damage and would definitely spook some of the already jumpy Doves. He flew around and set them up two by two, one smoke bomb next to every small explosive, as he finished he flew around watching Casey, seeing what she had decided to spend her time doing. A couple more Doves where fluttering to the safety of their homes when some caught sight of his dark black wings, frittering through the town, watching his mischief buddy.

Wisteria soon fidgeted slightly as her intuition grew stronger, he large blue eyes turned to one of the towns people and said "Where are your guards?" The male Dove turned to attention to his higher up, fear slightly flickering in his eyes, no one had ever heard her speak. She looked like a gentle girl but she spoke with such authority it made some angels rather uncomfortable, her un-wavering eyes did not look at the man harshly, they showed little emotion at all. "U-um, their on the outskirts of the town. They should be there now. W-why? If I am so bold to ask." Wisteria nodded and said "I'm just checking the elders back in the city want me to check up. I would suggest you get one of your boys to go and check on them, I get the feeling something is going to happen soon." The older male Dove looked at her with a confused look and she tilted her head to the side and said "Well?" He coughed and nodded and called over one of the other male Doves and told him to check up on the guards, the boy stared at Wisteria for a few seconds and then turned and nodded and flew off. She nodded to the man and she continued her walk, her eyes flickering around the town quickly, the feeling only got stronger. She let on nothing, but her goal was clear, protect this town from any mischief. Her body was now tense and she walked more stiffly, though not many could tell the difference, she still walked as if on air.

((OOC: Phew, work's taken a lot of time from me X_X

, however, I'll get my other post in Voyage of the Sands soon.))

Inevitably, I'm going to be spotted. The least I can do is to only show my wings. A distraction ... ugh, Beloved, help me with this. The Raven stays still for a couple seconds, thinking and a bit frustrated. Her eyesight catches a falling leaf, it had swayed back and forth, and then was blown towards a tree. The tree right next to her that had provided a cool shade over a portion of the camp. The three doves were sitting in a triangle form, Hopefully, this can work. It was a very, very, ancient and tall tree; it's branches held hundreds, thousands, of leaves. This Eterna forest is an ancient and lush forest, after all ...

It was a small caution that none would take mind to, but with the right amount of force, she can use the leaves as the tools that she currently lacked. With the muscular strength, training, and fooling around that had shaped her fit figure, she made a swift and short distance to create great force to quickly fly up and above a branch, preparing her guarding posture with her arms covering her neck and face whilst using her wings to guard her upper body, she body slammed down onto the end of the branch - it's bundles of leaves were like a giant mattress, soft and at the same time compact. It was a perfect hit - all went as planned, the leaves fell in feet of heaps on top of the unaware Doves. Indeed, a very soft approach with my enemies. Perhaps I'm getting too soft, for if such an opportunity happened to them, they'd take the advantage.

Already memorizing the placement of the Doves' bags, Casey dives down into the pile of leaves, the heavily raining leaves fly through the air as she quickly leaps back out with three satchels and three bags, some worn on her hips and shoulders, some carried in her arms. She flies away behind a tree just as the doves flapped their big white wings to get the heap off of themselves. One of them said, "A prank, I know it - my handbag's stolen. I felt its hand graze my shoulder!" Hiding behind a tree, she makes a loud flap before flying into the air to glide in the air of the large forest - the sky mostly covered by the leafy trees, but it's not completely impossible to still be seen. Casey then returns to the ground, running and then turning to a sharp left, hearing a flurry of wings clash flap about behind her. Casey had then approached another camp, however, she had stepped on and snapped a pile of leaves and twigs. She had then quickly made a sharp right turn.

The Doves at the other camp had caught on quick; Casey, being the wild angel that she is, soon had a dozen angels after her - but Casey was having all of the fun from the chase. Hiding here, hiding there, and then popping out of nowhere to escape the grasp of the doves - it had been a fun challenge in not letting see her up close. All she had to do was to use her wings like a cloak over herself from time to time. The chasing and running continues, as she had soon caught on herself of some hidden materials that she could take advantage of in the forest. I can bet that they're Razial's.

She runs around some more, having the angels follow her just the way she wanted for a soft prank that would soon follow.
__________________________________________________________
As Aaron arrives at the ends of the forests, and after getting a bit lost as well as getting some history lessons, the three had finally found the camps, the angels had then finally released his arms as the two girls said their hellos to their other friends and duty partners. The Doves at the camp greeted him as well, and so did the Chief. He had saw plenty of guards fly along silently in the sky away from this area - for what, he doesn't know. One guard came from the forest, and said something to the Chief about orders from an angel named Wisteria. Aaron, wanting to investigate a bit by himself, was soon pulled away by Cyan and Sheryl to continue on the history lessons as they stroll deeper into the forests.

((I don't know how to jump in to this. ^^; Any suggestions so I don't disrupt the flow?))

~UnWritten~ · **Posted:** Sat Mar 22, 2014 11:26 pm

(You can jump into this one by, if I may suggest, maybe you could be one of the Dove's who had their bag full of valuables stolen by Casey? And maybe for your Raven he could be planning something or maybe he is just hanging out around the Raven's territory. Those are just my suggestions, hope I helped)

Wisteria was quick to escape the overly sized pile of leaves and she saw large black wings flash in front of her, her eyes narrowing. As the Dove's cleared the leaves she wasn't found on the ground, no but high, high in the air. Her eyes seemed to be concentrated one thing, a black speck flying above the large forest and heading towards another camp. Wisteria wasted no time in hearing the Dove's petty banter over lost cause, that's what she considered it since they were doing nothing to help themselves, just flapping their wings sulking. She had shot off following the speck of black over the forest, her large blue eyes scanning around her to try and calculate where the Raven maybe going. She was soon joined by at least a dozen guards, she slowly drifted into the crowd, not looking to start a commotion. They had been following this female Raven around for not too long, before an idea popped into Wisteria's mind. 'What if she is only a distraction?' Her though was answered by smoke coming from the camp, accompanied by a loud 'boom'. Wisteria's body twisted and her eyes widened and she instantly knew who was behind this, her long-time rival, Razial.

Razial had watched Casey's prank, small but effective as he notice she had took a few bags, and caught the attention of his 'play toy', Wisteria. He smirked and got into position and he began to set his smoke and explosive bombs up, his tips of his wings tingling with excitement. He loved to cause mischief and chaos. As the first pair went off he zipped around, taking what he thought was valuable and deciding to scare some of the Doves. Some of them were already skittish and this pushed them to full blown terrified and he was loving it. He noticed a few of the last guards were flying at him and he turned to them and smirked and they charged at him, he chuckled and charged forward, taking the guards head on. He wasn't any wimp, he could take a few of these weak Dove guards, they were newbie play, he had plenty experience fighting them so this was nothing huge. As he fought them, they took the most pain, of course every once in a while landing a few good blows onto him, always aiming for his wings.

Oliver's hand flew instantly to her hip, grabbing at nothing. She had only been following some of the other Doves out of curiosity, and now she was a victim of circumstance. Shoot. It wasn't so much that she had valuable belongings in her pouch, but the fact that the Raven that had flown by had the audacity to try such a sneaky move...now that irked her. Two Dove's flew off towards the thief, but the others flew in the opposite direction.

She spotted a figure out the corner of her eye, and took off after him with the others. As a rule, Olive avoided conflict, much preferring to settle things peacefully. Though, when she felt like being particularly twisted, she did take delight out of commanding other people and watching them do battle. She hung back from a distance, wings batting against the air, carefully calculating the how to approach the situation. Just watching would have been okay, if it wasn't for the fact that her colleagues were losing. Which was pretty pathetic, considering there was only one Raven to fight at the moment.

"It would be easier if you targeted the joints of his limbs," she offered, "It won't take him out of the air of course, but it makes it easier, no?" When nobody took her advice, Olive raised an eyebrow. Being ignored did not sit lightly with her. The Tonkinese girl drew her sword and paused, calculating just where to strike, how fast she needed to launch herself... Ah! Blast it! One of the other Dove's had blocked her vision. They were moving too fast. Patience was just as important as strength. She needed to wait.

((I'll throw Nathaniel in there later))

The increasingly large crowd of Doves from more of the camps were very strategic in their mission of securing the Raven as Casey continues to run across a more spacious area of the forest – running for the plan of course. The raven, being daring, especially since most of them are actually armed, except for some of them that Casey had stolen from, decides slows down enough for the Doves to eventually catch up. Just a bit further ahead. Suddenly, weaponless shadows of angels fly about - some were of the angels from her earlier Dove targets. They all swooped after the Raven from all directions; from above, right, left, front, and there was also one who was aiming for her legs. Deciding to take a risk, she jumps full force towards the angel above her. She attempts to shift her cover more to her upper half of her body - protecting her identity as well as to create some defense before charging straight on towards the Dove. The Dove above was more defensive and was moderate in offense – for as much as the Dove knew that Ravens can be brute pranksters and as much as she wanted to teach this Raven a lesson, she knew that the black-winged angel held weapons which was no trivial matter.

The clash between the Dove and the Raven ended quickly – as the head on collision stopped the tracks of the two powerful forces of the angels, Casey’s cloak-like wings opened widely, only enough without exposing her face, from its ends well enough for her to reach one of her arms out to block the Dove’s tackle assault. With one forearm used to guard her chest neck and face from the attack, the raven takes note – this one could’ve thrown a kick or a punch, one way to injure her wings so as to make a payback if Casey herself as a Raven escapes unscathed. Knowing that the Doves below Casey were about to jump from below her, she attempted to use one wing to cover herself as she spins to create force in order to use the backside of the other spread wing to swat at the five leaping Doves out of the way. Sure, it had hurt – but she had made it through their ambush.

Casey takes the advantage while they were face down on top of each other like a dog pile before they got up again – she releases her two wings in order to fly up to the monstrously large weeping willow tree above her, and hides using the leaves to cover her. She picked up the line of rope and ties it on a branch to ready it - the rope that she had well-tracked and observed with her keen eyes and that she had followed this entire time. She readies one special bag that she had found hidden for something special inside it ….

From the tree, she can catch the sight of the approaching movements of the other flying Doves with their weapons. She can hear the running crowd of the angels who’re after her. She can see where they all are, and as they had all gathered in the desired area, she had pulled the rope as she flew out as quickly as she could into the sky.

Down came the ground’s large area of dirt. Some had fell into the pit and were stuck from the piling others who fell on top of him or her, some flew up by their quick reactions, but a black ‘web’ from the sky was quick to fall as Raven had already flown across the skies above them, throwing down and releasing from the bag in her arms a giant and heavy black net down on the spacious opening and onto the remaining angels, forcing the captured into the pit.

Floating in the air, Casey sits down on a branch to rest after the strenuous execution so as to get one look at the results of her improvised scheme. Surely, one or two Doves are still around – perhaps more, if she includes more possible guards. However, she’s extremely tired from using the heavy black net as well as in pain with one of her wings. She decides not to think too much, and having already heard some explosions after all of this time she gets up and flies away to see Razial – for she wanted to see how he was doing.

____________________________________________________

Aaron stops in his steps, the girls were unable to pull the already strong Dove further along. They stopped as well and turned to look at him. Aaron had spoken, “Sorry, Cyan and Sheryl, but your people seem to be in danger – for I am part of the people of this Clan, and so I might as well investigate this problem.” He smiles a charming smile at the girls. “Thanks for showing me around.”

He goes to the Chief, “What’s going on?”

The Chief replies rather calmly. “A Raven has entered our areas. He’s causing havoc with his pranks again. The guards were sent to me as a command from one of the greatest and highest archangel, Wisteria. She has long red hair and blue eyes if you wish to be a secondhand watcher on strange activity with the Raven Clan.”

Aaron takes note to himself, Wisteria, a remarkable name, indeed. “What were her commands, just now?”

“To check up on me – and I have sent some back into the forest, and some back into the city to deal with the Raven.” Said the Chief.

“Then I will follow your commands. See ya’, Chief.”

But just as Aaron was about to leap, Cyan speaks up. Aaron turns to her to listen. “But you don’t have any training!” Then Sheryl, “You need to be highly skilled, especially against our enemies!”

Aaron then looks at them. “I will fight this petty Raven, have faith in me.” He then leaps and releases his beautiful white wings and flies off into the sky – off to see this troublemaker and to deal with him. Aaron, already knowing on how some things run in this world, decides to hold down this Raven for questioning for the Doves to take care of. A fight will likely go on, but there’s no need for things to get too rough at the moment.

As Aaron flies out torwards the homeland, some guards flew up next to him to join him in getting this Raven. Aaron’s magnificent uniform was all the soldiers had to see to have their questions over this new ‘guard’ answered.

They would soon arrive ….

Razial dodged some more of the attacks, he soon tired of the repetitive-ness and he flew around them and he noticed a girl trying to help them and he smirked. He quickly dashed around her and he lazily floated around her and said "You know, they never listen. Such a shame isn't it?" His gentle whisper floating around her, he easily dodged the few guards coming at him, kicking them away. Razial loved the chance to annoy one of the Doves, it was a plus that his explosives were only starting, there were a few more large explosion and he was laughing slightly.

Wisteria was shaken slightly when she heard one of the first explosion, her eyes narrowed. She ordered two or three of the guards to stay and search, but took most of them, flying far ahead of them. When she came up upon the camp, she grit her teeth. "Razail......Why am I not surprised?" Her long red hair flying behind her as she speed up, her large blue eyes narrowing as she said "Razail! You again?"

Razial looked up as he heard his name, as he saw Wisteria he smirked. Turning to the girl and said "As I am sorry to say, our brief time together has been severed." Giving her his signature smile and a wink of the eye, he shot up and said "Ah, Wisteria. Pleasure seeing you again. I do believe I was talking to someone else, though my dear. Are you truly so jealous you can't share?" His chuckle rang loud and clear and anyone around them could see Wisteria look irritated. "I would have thought you would have had enough last time, but I guess I was mistaken." Wisteria's voice strong and smooth, it wasn't smooth and seductive like Razial's. Razial lifted one eyebrow and said "I guess I just can't get enough of your ever so endearing presence." Wisteria rolled her eyes and Razial slammed into her and she yelped slightly, as she pulled away from him her eyes showed fierce fire had been lit. Wisteria grit her teeth and she swooped around Razial kicking him in his back, Razial growled and he decided to lose his smooth-ness and get serious. You could see the look on his face, the look that said 'The decision had been made and all hell was going to break lose.' They flew a few feet away and then they slammed into each other, both throwing punches, Wisteria more reliant on her kicks and Razial dependent on his punches. Razial threw another punch and that sent Wisteria flying into the ground, she looked towards the guards and said "Look for the explosives before they start to cause some more damage." She then flew back to Razial and their fight went back on, they didn't stop, they kept going strong though you could see that they were both suffering damage.

Olive sighed heavily, shooting Razial a rather unimpressed look. "It is a shame, though. To have so many ideas and nobody to listen to them. Ah, curse my overwhelming intellect! I am forever cursed to walk among the normal folk!" The Doves that had just finished fighting Razial, battered and bruised, stared at her with an expression of offense. "Oh, hush up, I was only joking. It's your own fault for never paying attention to what others have to say," she scolded, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose.

She wasn't new to her duties as an angel. In fact, Olive was technically quite old. When Wisteria arrived, Olive immediately flitted to her side. She was one of the few Doves she could actually tolerate--okay, so Olive liked her a lot. Wisteria actually had a good head on her shoulders and was very strong and brave, even when fighting Razial. Something that happened surprisingly often, she noted. Usually it was over something petty and dumb, but due to the growing tensions on both sides of the Ravens and Doves, their conflicts were growing in violence and duration. Even Olive could admit that it was scary watching the two go at it, with nothing holding them back. She feared that maybe this time, they wouldn't back down and someone would get seriously injured.

They needed an intervention.

Rapier drawn, Olive hovered around the fighting Raven and Dove, debating when she could--if she even should--strike. A particularly nasty collision of fists and legs left Razial open, and not letting this opportunity go, Olive dove down and struck, creating a nasty cut through Razial's sleeve, a shallow cut forming from his shoulder to his elbow.

Aaron stops in his tracks, heeds her commands, and flies elsewehere.

Aaron turns to the guards, and spoke with assertiveness, he flies elsewhere to disarm all of the tools.

He had soon came upon a scene of some areas that seemed damaged. As he lowers closer to the ground, he saw a string of smoke in the air followed by and explosion not too far away. So the smoke makes them go boom. He yells at the gaurds, “Hey! The explosives are here!” He then grabs a handful of dirt and threw it at the smoke from afar, trying to stop the smoke from spreading anymore - for it’ll be too dangerous to stop the smoke with his bare hands. And then … BOOM.

What!? But I …. Aaron flies backwards to get away from the particles in the air and from the surprise at his failed deductive reasoning.

A couple of guards flew over and took over the business. Aaron followed their instructions safely in placing the bombs away. He was still a bit disappointed in not being able to fight. Now what can I show to Cyan and Sheryl? They won’t see me as cool being a silly Dove like this ….

After a while of doing his part, he goes off to see if Wisteria is doing well. Spotting Wisteria and another Dove fighting a male Raven, he jumps in to help out by throwing a strong punch and a kick, attempting to knock him down.
_______________________________________________________
Casey flies towards the air, flying out of the forest. She attempts to hide behind trees from the sights of the other few passerby Dove guards. She wanted to save her energy for later, she had done her part and now she wanted to do something else.

She quickly hides the stolen items in a thick brush that was in a deep and narrow grass-covered trench. It'd be no fun if weapons were used, and so that no one would get killed so easily.

She goes a large range around the camp where the Chief was - being here many times, she would sometimes see the Cheif mostly at that particular camp. She goes off to wonder around more in the Dove homeland. She was interested that there were little to no Doves to be seen. It is likely that they all flew away from Razial’s prank. She soon sees Razial fighting with the same archangel Dove who wore golden anklets. She also sees in the far distance of other Doves flying elsewhere. Also, as Razial and the red-haired Dove fought, another Dove out of nowhere drew a rapier at Razial. The same one as one of them in the camp.

Casey flies out towards the intense fight. This was most certainly Razial’s fight – I’d be just a slight bothered if someone disrupts my fight. … However, Casey goes to the fight anyways. She wants to be part of it too. She has total faith in Razial’s abilities, but that rapiar was quite sudden to appear in a hand to hand combat, and so Casey took caution and decides to help out. Seeing another Dove came in, it was one Raven against three Doves. She decided to charge from below and intercedes the fighting space by giving a kick to the female Dove's knees and a another kick to the red-haired Dove's side. She then gives an under kick to the male dove to throw off his follow up on Razial.

~UnWritten~ · **Posted:** Sat Mar 29, 2014 2:13 am

Razial noticed the female Dove from earlier fritter to Wisteria's side, he ignored her, which as it would turn out, would be his mistake. He was so focused of his feirce battle with Wisteria that he failed to notice the Dove take out a blade and come at him, his arm was sliced from his shoulder to his elbow. He hissed and flew back and his eyes glared at the new Dove. "Oh, it's the little advice giver, ah? Finally stepping up to the plate and doing your own dirty work instead of yelling at other people? Good for you, but next time don't try it on me, sweetheart." He flew at her, going for her stomach before he felt a punch into him, but before the new Dove could get another blow in something knocked him up. Razial took this time to back off and said "Three against one," He looked down and saw Casey and gave her his 'one in a million' smile, "now two. That is almost fair, I think you need another weakling one your side Wisteria, my dear." His smirk back upon his face, he didn't like to show when he was feeling hurt, and so once more he ignored the pain from the cuts and bruises and the large gash in his arm. "Looks like you have a newbie on your side, Wis, a cute one too." He winked at the boy, he was pretty sure it would either creep the boy out or irritate him, it did with everyone else and that is why he always did it.

Wisteria was surprised at the point when Olive struck Razial, and soon after another Dove came in. She had to guess he was new, she had never seen him before and she was supposed to know right away when a new Dove was found. They needed training and to learn the ways of the Doves, before getting their jobs, she would have to remind herself to have a talk with who was in charge of the new Doves, she didn't like all the rules about lashes all that much anyway. Besides this was a small matter, her eyes snapped back to Razial as another Raven appeared and her face took on a look of eerie calmness, it even had Razial a bit creeped. "I did not command them to come and aid me, that was of their own free will. Whether it be for selfless or selfish reason is un-beknown to me. Now, if you do not mind, I will ask once nicely. Please leave now and no further harm will come to you or your friend." She knew fighting wasn't the only way to end things, sometimes petty disputes over pranks could easily be solved with a deal, she was taught many different tactiics where she was from and though this one is lesser used and lesser accepted, she was still going to try.

Razial stared at Wisteria's calm face, it creeped him out when she turned like this, even irritated him. That was saying something, he was the king of irritating people. He looked at her and said "That wench of a Dove cut.....my.....arm! Blast it if I'm going that easily, that option is still open to my comrad, but she said she was looking for a little excitement." He looked at Casey, he couldn't tell her what to do, but he was pretty sure that she wouldn't leave in the mids of a fight. He looked back to Wisteria and he saw her nod and she was waiting for Casey to respond, he was ready to strike back at any moment and he probably would when he felt Wisteria wasn't ready. His attention now split three ways, the male Dove, the other female Dove, and the high caste female Dove. He smirked, this would be fun he thought smugly to himself.

Oof! Aaron was forced some distance back from the powerful kick. After a pause as the male Raven had spoken, he felt goosebumps when he did that. Not only because it was unexpected, but he knew that he had felt his heart thump loudly - and that’s when he started to freak out, but he attempts to hide all of his surprise away. He had seen Wisteria stop fighting for a moment, and so he does the same.
____________________________________________
Casey was glad to be helpful. As a pause happened for the red-haired Dove archangel to speak, she takes note of Razial’s cuts and bruises as well as the high archangel Dove’s bruises and marks from the fight. Yeah, I’ll continue the fight – I ought to not have things half finished when I have started them. Razial’s cut though ….. She backs up next to Razial. Casey has the good qualities of herself that can also be her best flaws – she can be as merciful as a fighter giving a hand to her defeated enemies, and as stubborn as a salmon going up a waterfall. Both unwavering and relentless, as well as serene and intelligent, the two sides of herself made it hard to decide. To accept truce … with my comrade injured … or to just give ‘em a fun time and then tricking ‘em with something else before we leave.

To cast injury and think that I’ll accept an assault with nothing back …. Casey continues to smile. So be it, let’s fight. She slyly shrugs, “You know us Ravens. We refuse your negotiation.” She pauses. “There’re plenty of more pranks over here that I can ensue, and I wouldn’t mind having extra fun with all of you." As she readies her fighting stance and wears a sly smile, she'd already devised a way to ‘obtain something’ from this fight.
____________________________________________
Aaron prepares his stance as well. Both sides are strong, but he’ll show them his moves. I’ve been in loyalty before, still am now. He stays patient, awaiting to listen to what Wisteria will say of this. He pays even more attention to the female Raven and keeps in mind to aim after her if the fight will truly continue.

Mimi Marquezebra · **Posted:** Sun Mar 30, 2014 2:46 pm

Olive grunted as her knees were kicked, slipping a few feet in the air before flying back up to Wisteria's side. Gritting her teeth, she prepared a defensive stance, golden eyes burning hot in a silent challenge for the male Raven to attack her. A simpering sneer made its way onto her face as the male dove kicked him in the stomach, temper flaring at his insult. "Wench? Wench?" She hissed, "I'll cut more than that."

The small Dove refused conflict for a reason. She thought bloodshed was vulgar and the entire idea of fighting seemed gritty, not at all elegant like the idea of leading an army to victory. Or making battle plans to destroy the will of the opposition. However, once thrown into battle, it was like a switch went off inside Olive's brain. She did enough damage to injure and force defeat, but never enough to kill. She wasn't that barbaric.

The current problem, she deducted, was the female Raven. Razial was now made angry, and angry fighters didn't think clearly, make the right choices. But Casey seemed like she fought differently, using her head instead of strength to win her fights. Oliver's eyes narrowed, flitting from one enemy to the other, waiting until Wisteria made the decision on whether to fight on, or retreat to assist the other Doves.

~UnWritten~ · **Posted:** Sun Mar 30, 2014 9:24 pm

Wisteria wasn't surprised when Razial refused to back down, but rather surprised that his comrad did also refuse. She was indeed surprised Razial had found someone who seemed to be as reckless as he. "Very well. Let's continue shall we?" She looked at her companions, Olive, a female Dove she had known for a while quick and resourceful, Wisteria knew she was also very dependable. She looked over to the new Dove boy, he seemed eager to prove himself and quick to the punch, she would see what he was made of in this battle, if he continued which it seemed he would. Her eyes once more flickered back to Razial and in a flash she was kicking him in his stomach.

Razial smirked slightly as he listened to Casey, she seemed like a great partner in crime. He was glad she came along, as he heard Wisteria respond there was a moment of silence as they all sized each other up, his eyes were on the prize. "Oh, really? I would love to see you pull that stunt on me again!" He was used to fighting Wisteria, they were always at each other's throats adding people in seemed like a great way to spice things up. After a moment of quietness he felt a blow to his stomach, all he had seen was a blur of red and white. He knew she wasn't going to hold back now, and so they went at it once again.

Wisteria relayed heavily on her kicks, her wings being far to large to quickly dodge attacks, she took Razial's retaliation head on. Her wings were far better at long distance flying, sometimes they were good use in battle, landing gear, and elegance. Razial was her opposite, he was fast and easily dodged some of her attacks, his wings being small and limber he was far more useful at dodging. Though, when it came to Wisteria's kicks, he might be able to dodge them but each time one hit him they packed far more power than a usual kick. But he knew that this was the Dove who trained almost always if she wasn't on duty, how he knew that, that remained his secret. He lazed off often, rather playing pranks and relaxing around while she never took a moments rest for herself. It was quite obvious that they were the complete opposites and this only caused them even more irritation and rage against each other. Their fights had caused each other almost elimination injuries, but they never seemed to end. Their rage was so thick you could cut it with a knife and ask anyone who had ever been around for one of their fights they would always say they couldn't tell who was the Dove and who was the Raven.

Casey sharply flies towards the other two doves. The Dove and Raven were fierce in their fight against each other, leaving Casey with the other two doves. Relentless and persistent, such is their respectful and powerful strengths. I’ll get caught too easily, seems like underestimated that archangel. However, I got these two; perhaps I can take ‘it’ at a better time.

Right when she leapt, Aaron flies out swiftly at Casey with a takedown, and then follows up with a side kick. Casey quickly blocks the first attack with her crossed forearms, then grabs his leg at the second one and throws him downwards with great force towards the ground - gaining bruises from both blocks.

In seconds, Aaron spreads his wings to stop himself from falling to the ground. Casey flies downwards with an attempt to punch Aaron in the abdomen, and was blocked by Aaron’s own punch. The Dove does a back flip and does a kick at Casey’s face, knocking her back. He goes after her for an uppercut, but his arm was knocked forcefully out of the way with Casey’s high kick – an opening, Casey’s brings her kick down on Aaron. He takes in the hit, but made his body not move its position. He grabs her leg to pull her in for a low upper kick to her side, knocking Casey back up into the air. He goes in with a kick and three rapid punches; the Raven fails to fully block the quick barrage, and takes it all except for the last punch.

She grabs his arm, pulling him towards her and locking her arms with his, and gives a nasty kick to the Dove, forcing him some distance back behind the female Dove. The two regain their breaths and positions. With the male Dove finally off of her, Casey takes the opportunity to go after the female dove that possessed the rapier. She attempts to make a jump for a knee-kick, but then Aaron flies out back at her and forces her to back off from the female Dove. They both threw more attacks – blocks, misses, hits, turns, flips – until Casey swiftly feints a move, obtains an opening and punches him, forcing him some distance away again. She goes after the camp Dove, and attempts to throw a feint punch along with a kick, aiming for one of her hands.
