Dragonic Touch (Lycan Only)

Elathon pulls himself up tall, "like myself? Not at all. You deign to compare the sun and a grain of dirt? I thought I made it clear there. is. no. leaving."

Kiyoshi grinned as he jerked Phoenix's head back, keeping the blood close as she tugged her head side to side. "don't doubt me you brat..." He growled, seeming to shift in shape. His legs molding together slowly into a tail, the tip edging around Phoenix's legs. The blue of his eyes turned slitted and yellow as he kept his hold. She coughed, looking to Elathon as her nails dug into his arm, though doing nothing to make him loosen. She mentally beat herself as she tugged away harder, the bloods smell clouding her senses.

"Worthless man. What would you do if you realised how deluded you are. Also," he flung his arm towards him, a spear of bamboo shooting out of his sleeve, shooting straight for Kiyoshi's face, "I just can't stand the ugliness."

Kiyoshi's lips twitched upward in a grin as he jerked his head to the side. His arm, thick and scaled now slapped it to the side as claws extended as well as his face. The skin shadowed to scales as his mouth stretched, his face morphed into that of the snake demon he was. Fangs glinted as a forked tongue flicked past them, and his back shifted into a cobra's design. Phoenix groaned as a tail constricted around her stomach, tightened until she thought and held her breath. Her grinned and jerked her head back once more before letting go of her head and picking up his blade as he hissed at Elathon.

Elathon turns side on, still stood at ease, "bring it." He uttered defiantly.

Kiyoshi grinned as the eyes dilated and he suddenly stabbed his free hand forward. what looked like a jet of red liquid shooting at Elathon and turning into a spray of rain. The heat radiated off the liquid from meter's away. Concluding, even if Elathon moved, the liquid would hit the trees and whatever else behind him.

Elathon stands tall in the spray, feeling the heat burning his skin, he shoots forward, trying to bodily tackle Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi chuckled as he did. The part of the spray that hit the ground and tree's sparking and alighting with a white flame. He moved his sword out in front of him, letting him tackle. His tail remained planted to the ground, holding Phoenix in deaths constriction as Kiyoshi's hand snapped towards Elathon's throat.

Elathon's arm having been covered in his bark-skin when the spray had hit, was also aflame, and now grappled with Kiyoshi's throat, the flames licking around them both.

Kiyoshi growled a bit as he did, the fangs of his dripping with venom. His scales seemed to slow the burn of the flame. He suddenly smirked, slapping his arms to one side and snapped his head at his face. His bite was stopped though as he yelled in pain, his head thrown back. Phoenix had gave up holding her breath, however long she could hold it when he tried to bite, and she bit where she could reach, her own fangs breaking the scales. Her eyes dilated though at the rush of blood and as he constricted noticeably.

Elathon slams his free hand into what would be Kiyohsi's chest, just trying to overwhelm him.

Kiyoshi grunted and hissed at him. Phoenix jerking her head causing his head to fall and he threw Elathon back. He whirled around on her, jamming the back of his sword against her head before rolling back and throwing her back. Wincing as it met a tree and he wrapped the length of his tail around her again, squeezing quickly and roughly, making her shiver and drop her head, coughing. She briefly scrambled for breath before she held it again, a bit of blood trickling down the side of her mouth. Another line of it rolled down her neck from the hit.

A sword tip preses against Kiyoshi's neck, "you might just satisfy the hunger, you are quite powerful after all." Lycan looks over to Elathon, "you know what's good for you. Keep away from this." He looks back to Kiyoshi. "Go on kill the girl, It'll make it easy for me, just realise that while she lives..." he snarls and growls slightly, "so do you."

Kiyoshi glanced back, the snake snout closing from ready to bite and he chuckled absently. He turned his head to him, keeping Phoenix pinned and choking to the tree. He looked to the sword then jerked his head forward, the tip moving through and he grinned. "what the hell do you care?" He asked, calmly and contently as he squeezed around her and the tree tighter. The main reason being, the smell of blood causing her to breath again, It rolled down the blade slowly and he smirked. "Do tell me or get the hell away from me..." He said again, looking to Elathon and lifted his head.

Lycan growled, "I care because I figure you're are the only one who can stop her. And then I'll just devour you. Simple." He laughs pressing the broadsword harder against Kiyoshi's skin.

As the two focus on each other, Elathon has been whispering to the tree that Phoenix is pinned against, and a small crack opens, drawing her inside, using the pressure applied by Kiyoshi to speed the process, once inside she would be safe, and Elathon could release her from anywhere along the tree.

Kiyoshi smirked as he listened, staying amused. A flash issued as Elathon worked and Phoenix seemed to elicit a choked hiss. "who says I'll stop her?" He uttered vaguely. "she can still follow you while she's dead" He grinned then bit the sword, throwing him back with as much ease as tossing a stone. He snapped his tail around, breaking the tree and brought Phoenix back tight into his tail, though this time, he just kept the strongest area of his tail around her breast. Starting to crack the ribcage.

She had finally gotten tired of it though. The whistle had been keeping her from doing much on her dragonic side. She left it though, to the back of her mind then looked up, growling and ripped her arm out from pinned at her side, raking a pair of claws across his face and scrambled out of his grip as he hissed and loosened. She backed up, coughing, her arm with his blood across her fingers now wouldn't move, the shoulder completely separated from its socket.

Lycan easily shot into the air, a pair of jet balck leathery wings holding him up, with tremendous strength he hurled his sword at the pair, not caring who he hit.

Phoenix glanced up then and glowered at him. She moved back, tugging Elathon's arm in such a small strength that it was a wonder she was still awake. Kiyoshi himself growled as it hit the ground from him, his only choice of protection was to raises his arm above his head.

Elathon finally realising that his efforts were in vain, a new wave of anger overcoming him he steps forward. Channeling all his anger, all his hatred, but were had that come from? Every emotion that twisted his heart he channeled it into one mighty blow aimed directly at Kiyoshi's head.

Unbeknownst to him, Lycan had quickly landed and had used his dragon borne strength in a similar blow, if Kiyoshi didn't avoid this duel onslaught the damage would be incomprehensible. One borne of hatred to his choices, the other hatred of his being, two opposing forces colliding around him, an apocalypse of hate.

Kiyoshi glanced to both around him and he smirked. A maniacal grin twisted his face as he sunk into the ground, avoiding both blows at the last second. A force of his energy and he twisted his thoughts into the trees themselves. Phoenix's secret of her dragon, and what she felt for Elathon. Her loss of memories because of himself and several others. He didn't care whether Elathon heard them yet, he made it known what he did to Phoenix as she watched from the side of the clearing.

The blows connect where Kiyohsi's head had been, the force causing the bones of their hands to crack and groan. "Where is he?" Lycan growled.
Elathon replied, "somewhere below us. I don't know why you're helping, but we have a common foe now, ready?"
"What do you think, Tree?" Lycan replies gruffly.

Kiyoshi chuckled, the sound resounding. He growled in a ne wlanguage, mainly known to dragons only. Rarely ever spoken though and hard to decipher. Phoenix seemed to twitch, having practiced the language most of her life, but ignored it as she slowly made her way to the two males. Focusing mainly on Elathon, she hesitantly put a hand on his shoulder, Kiyoshi's body moving seen through the dirt as she let him use her eyes. She shifted back, irritated and completely figured Lycan wanted absolutely nothing to do with her.

Lycan laughed, his laugh echoing through the trees. It was followed by a roar, speaking the pure form of the Language that Kiyoshi butchered. He thrust his arm into the dirt where Kiyoshi was, grasping at him with a taloned hand.
Elathon looks over his shoulder at Phoenix, sorrow in his eyes as someone else looks out of hers.

Phoenix muttered absently when she could understand Lycan better then the man below. She figured but sighed shakily, unable to see Elathon's look. She briefly felt it though, making her think about backing away slightly but she kept her hand to his shoulder for a moment, fixing the link before she pulled away, letting him keep her vision for the time being.

Kiyoshi rolled his eyes and stabbed forward with the back of his blade, crushing Lycan's taloned hand against a rock underneath the ground. Before he leaped back out, ramming his thick tail towards his chest.

Elathon stops with a shock as he realises the eyes are his. Quickly gathering his mind he nods to Phoenix, pushing the link only into one eye, he gets a weird vision of both of them in the smae place, shaking his head he turns to watch Lycan waiting for his chance. His whole body strained to stop him charging in randomly.

Lycan laughs, twisting his hand underneath the ground, he grasps the rock and rips it out of the ground, in between Kiyoshi's tail and his chest, before thrusting it away.
