While they are busy.

[Great Saiyaman]

Naze had ran from the fight back at Kattleox because of the fact he was outnumbered, however that was a month ago and his current mission was infront of him. Find more Sons. His cain clacked on the stone ground as he walked casually through the mine. His purple eyes staring blankly forward and his pace slow and lathargic. He was in no rush.

Naze stopped when he felt a tug behind him, there stood a member. He must be lost as Naze was pretty deep and he looked a bit beaten up. Naze's eyes were pierceing as if his soul, like two ice beams that froze the member cold.

"H-hey," the member stuttered, "I-I was w-wondering i-if you knew t-the way out?" He asked hesitantly, hopeing Naze was friendly.

Naze turned his head forward once more and shadows came over the member. He yelled in fear as they secured him. Naze then turned to him, facing him in the eyes.

"Yes, I know one....death." Naze said coldly as the shadows came into the member's body and crushed him from within. He yelled in pain shortly before his skin limped over. The shadows took the remains and Naze absorbed it. He felt the darkness in the member make him stronger. He must have been an avid noob killer.

"Hmph." Naze was satisfied by that meal and turned around once more. He began further down the mines. This was nothing rare, what he just did, murder a member. Many were lost and they were always easy prey. He's grown strong while searching for the other sons and grew close to one, ZetsumeiRyu.

Naze was aware that his sun was down here somewhere, but it would be a long search before he found him. Oh well, Naze was never in a hurry and this was no different. He felt even less rushed as he knew all the betas and staff were at the ceremony, ensuring no one who may be difficult was to be in his way. Maybe a nerd here or there who has played this 'game' non-stop would be slightly more of a hastle, but they were crushed all the same. No one was at Naze's mercy, no one.

[Morph]

Quite frankly, there was someon in the mines, one of the people Naze had thought to be at the Ceremony: Areni, Gahm's daughter.

Areni happened to have found out where Naze could have possibly gone to. She knew he was on this particular continent, and that he probably wouldn't go into a large city like Newdam, where many people would spot him and report his presence to the Staff.

As such, there was but one option left: the mines.

Areni quickly went through the damp, dark and dusty ways of the mines, her body close to the ground, her knees bent, she ran. She stopped once, at a corner, hesitant to peek around it, thinking Naze might be there. The dust tickled her inside her nose and she sneezed.

[Great Saiyaman]

Naze stopped and the shadows stirred, as if a monster was disturbed. Cobwebs fell from the cieling and more dust was shaken off. Naze listened for a moment, hearing the trickel of a far off water pool drip down a crack in the mines. "Hmph." He continued on, his cain still making noise as he went.

The platinum ball was covered by his hand as he strode, but from between his fingers rays of light escaped. It acted as if it were aimed at the sun and relfecting the light. No, it was all the light energy he stored in there from members and attacks hes recived of the light element. He would release the light stored in later to be relieved of this burden.

Then something glimmered because of Naze's cain. He shifted his eyes to the thing that did, was it a sun. He turned and lifted his cain, resing it under his arm as he found the piece that glimmered. He pulled it out after a grunt and tug to find merely a rare jewel. A diamond or emerald maybe. He shook his head with a sigh of dissapointment. Sure it was rare, but he had no use of it. Thus he tossed it aside, the jewel making several pitters and patters as it hit a wall then rolled along the ground.

Still determaned to find another sun, Naze put down his cain in its normal position and continued on. He rested a fist behind his back as his cain lead him down the current corridor. He soon found a cross road and stopped once more. He examined each route and could not determine witch to take. So the closed his eyes, hung his head for a moment to evaluate.

[Morph]

Areni snuck further, quietly, quickly. Dust arose from the ground at every step, but she managed not to sneeze this time around.

As she scurried further through the tunnels, she nearly tripped. She managed to get ahold of something extending from the walls, making sure she did not hit the ground. She turned around to look at the thing which had made her trip. Examining the object with her hands and with what feint light fell onto it, her eyes as well, she found it to be a gem of some sorts. And a large one at that.

Was this a signal she was getting closer? To the Black Sun, or to Naze? She didn't know. She examined the object a little closer. A nice jewel, however rough and uncut, it seemed like it'd be worth quite a lot. With a sigh, she knew she couldn't take it with her. It was too heavy for her to take it with her and still move quickly and silently. Besides, if she ended up in a fight, it would only hinder her.

She put the object back on the ground, and after a second's rest, she turned around to go onwards.

[Great Saiyaman]

Naze finally decided left would have to do. Thus he began down the dark corridor, however he could see fine with his Shadow Sight. With it he caught sight of a dead end and not paths on the sides of it. Still he was not irritated, merely dissapointed. He then caught site of a candle flickering, giving light to anyone who may need it. He narrowed his eyes on the fire and the shadows slowly devoured it.

Naze then turned back to the crossroads and would continue forward to the right side. His cain then hit a rock and tossed it gently into a another, making another bunch of patter. He didn't bother to look as the shadows then tried to devour the two rocks that made noise, though through it he found it was merely rocks. The shadows stopped and moved away to be ready to do as Naze would command.

Finally crossing where he was, not looking in either direction away from his current destination, Naze continued. He caught sight of another candle, flickering franticly, as if scared of his very presence. To prove the weak flame's fear, the shadows devoured the flame, not allowing any light to live. Naze continued down the pitch black corridor, his eyes scanning the walls now for a sun.

[Morph]

Areni stumbled upon a crossway, the very same one Naze had just passed. She looked to the left... no, that way just didn't seem right. Right then? As she looked to her right, she decided that right maybe not always was right. She turned her head again, and went forward, going for option number three.

[Great Saiyaman]

Naze had continued down the corridor and had clicked the side of the walls everynow and again with his cain. He saw several more gems and some fell because of the cain, pattering on the ground.

"H3Y /\/00B!!!!111" Yelled someone obnoxiously from behind Naze. Naze turned to face the pugdey member that was behind him. A nerd oviously, this may be annoying. "PH34R 73H \/\/R417H 0F 73H_D00D!!!!11" He continued to yell. Naze merely quirked a brow.

"I'm sorry for my staring...Dude." Naze said, not about to sink to that level. "But you must be mistaken, I have no reason to fear you. My name is Naze Nightfeild...eh....a pleasure." Naze said politely to the member.

The member merely drew his large two hander. It seemed to have cost alot as it was plated with gold and such. Naze assumed this was another nerd who just wanted an easy kill.

"PH34R /\/\3!!!!!!1111" The Dude yelled again as he rushed to Naze. Naze shook his head.

"Fine." Naze allowed the darkness to take him, making him invisible. The shadows shifted silently around the dude in order to get and squeeze the life out of him.

"H3Y \/\/3R3 Y0U G0?!!!!!!1 Y0UZ G07 C704K 0R $0/\/\7H1/\/??!!!!!! 7R4D3?" The dude continued to yell his 1337 speak as to try and get Naze's 'cloak' when he didn't know he was a son of darkness. However Naze did not answer this time, tired of hearing this rape of the english language, the shadows covered the member and slowly entered him. "H4><0RZ!!!!!!!!!!!11" He yelled before being crushed from the inside then absorbed into the ground. Naze came back out and allowed the darkness in the member to come into him to make him stronger still.

"Hmph." Is all Naze let out for the dead member. He then turned and continued back down his course for the sun.

[Morph]

Areni heard a noise behind her. She turned to look back into the direction from where she had come from. What had happened there? Could it have been Naze? Or... could ZetsumeiRyu have possibly been awakened already?

She shook her head. No, it couldn't be that. It probably where a couple of people fighting. She thought of going back to warn those people, but decided not to. Why would they listen to her? And besides, she had no time to waste. She turned around and continued onward.

[Great Saiyaman]

Naze continued still seeing only gleaming gems and candles that soon died because of the shadows that swelled around him. He then found a turning point to his left and infront of him a caved in passage. He shrugged and went down the passage on his left.

Naze continued for several more minutes down this seemingly endless way and edventually felt something. He turned to his right to a large bunde of rocks. He put his hand against it, something was there, something alive. "ZetsumeiRyu..." He said to himself. Naze then nodded and stepped back as the shadows began to surge around the rocks. They began to rumble as naze allowed a sphere of darkness around him. Then...BOOM the rocks flew everywhere and hit the walls hard. Some tried at Naze, but his sphere prevented that. Then finally a small sun tumbled on the floor and settled near Naze's feet when the sphere died.

[Morph]

(OOC: You know... Naze is officially my favourite amongst the Sons. ;o)


Areni followed through the ongoing tunnels for several minutes, taking a turn here and there, left, right, left, straight, left, dead end, going back, straight, right, ascending, descending, going down a stairway that somehow seem placed in the correct position...

Her eyes being attuned to the darkness, the black shadows around her didn't matter much to her. What did matter to her was that it felt as if she got further away from her actual goal. Something didn't seem right. Just something...

With a grunt of frustration, she stopped. She stretched herself out, her back and arms cracked a little.

"Oh, I wonder if I'll even manage to find the way out again..." She uttered in hopelessness.

Looking around at the walls, she walked over to one, putting her ear against it. After listening for a moment, she knocked against the wall with her hand. Quite obviously, she didn't hear anything indicating hollowness.

With a sigh, she pulled herself back from the wall. "No use." She said.

Then, a light went up inside her mind. What if...? Yeah, that could work. With a little smirk, she took out a grenade and tossed it into the air, before catching it again. "Let's see if those walls can handle this..." She said. Walking a little back, she turned and pulled the ring out of the explosive, before throwing it at the wall she had just knocked against, before running a little ways back. Behind her, the fiery explosion occurred, lighting up the place for a moment, and making the wall crumble, revealing a passageway.

"YES!" Areni cried out happily. "It worked!" She ran over to the hole and stepped through. All of a sudden, a chill ran up her spine. "Hzhzhzz..." She uttered, "what is this feeling? I'm not afraid, so why does it feel so strange here all of a sudden?"

[Great Saiyaman]

Naze picked up the sun, and examined it. "ZetsumeiRyu...welcome back." Naze said calmly as he then pulled out a severed hand of Virus, and placed the sun in that hand. "Come forth, the loyal follower of darkness and hear me so he we can fight together." Naze commanded as the sun then glowed black.

Out of it came a man, in his late twenties, how it appeared. He had black dragoon gauntlets and matching boots and wore black dragoon leg armor. His torso was bare of armor and in its place was dark red fur. He had golden eyes and white hair seeming untamed. Also he had a tail wrapped around his waist. ZetsumeiRyu was free.

"ZetsumeiRyu....I assume you know me." Naze nodded to him and dropped the hand promptly, not having anymore to do with it. ZetsumeiRyu nodded.

"I do, Naze." ZetsumeiRyu said in return.

"Good, then let us leave, would you mind making an exit." Naze asked. Zetsumei turned to his left. He then aimed his hand at a wall and a large orb was created. He shot out a large bomb of ki and it exploded on a far off wall. A hole was made in the wall to see another corridor. and mine rupsured greatly. "On second thought, to prevent us getting any ruble on us, let's just find a way out." Zetsumei just turned back to Naze, waiting for him to lead.

[Morph]

"Oh, crap..." Areni uttered in fearful irritance as the wall in front of her crumbled as well, revealing Naze and ZetsumeiRyu on the other side.

She hoped they couldn't see her, but that hope quickly made way for reason. They were Sons of Darkness, no way they couldn't see in the dark.

With a little nervous smile, she raised her hand and waved at the two guys. I'm quite dead now, aren't I? She thought. I mean, Kuro was tough to take down, think about how hard it is to take two of them on...

[Great Saiyaman]

Naze looked at the girl seeing her wave nervously. He figured she was just another lost member, thus the shadows began to shift to engulf her, however they stopped. Naze took a second look over her. Of course, it was Areni, Gahm's daughter. What was she doing here? Looking for them perhaps?

ZetsumeiRyu quirked a brow to Naze before turning to the girl. He didn't speak and did not move otherwise, he would wait for Naze's command for such a thing. Though he slowly figured out who it was, just as Naze did. He folded his arms over his chest and waited still, patiently.

Naze spoke first as he then approached the girl. His cain lead him as usual, and made the standard clack noise. He stopped before the girl and kept his emotionless look. "Areni," he began, "daughter of Gahm, no? What is a young girl doing down here...all by herself?" Naze added the last part, saying it slowly, as if emphausize it.

[Morph]

Areni straightened her back as she felt the cold looks of the two upon her body. Her breath slowly escaped from her mouth. She glanced at the shadows around her.

The shadows... Naze's shadows... She thought. They aren't moving... good.

Areni turned her gaze back to Naze, as well as giving ZetsumeiRyu a short glance.

"Naze," She replied to the one Son that had spoken, "Son of Darkness, correct?" She said. "What is a young man like you doing around these parts?" She asked him in the very same calm manner as Naze had asked her. As she spoke, she quirked a brow and let a slightly mischievous smile show on her face, as if to show she wasn't afraid of them.

[Great Saiyaman]

If Naze had emotions he would have either chuckled in amusment or killed in rage. However he was hallow, unless instigated. He merely stared down at her. "Very well...gentlemen first I suppose." He said, formally. "I am Naze Nightfeild, yes. I am a son of darkness as is my accomplace, ZetsumeiRyu. I was here because of him, because I came to free him. Now...your turn." He said the last two words a bit darker and the shadows shifted a bit more.

ZetsumeiRyu watched and tensed a bit. He felt that he would have to fight soon, but nothing was given unless Naze commanded. He would remain silent and kept his golden eyes on the girl.
