Ontop a Sword

[Karita]

Zye balanced herself on the grip of her sword on a side of the mountian, looking over Crysos and Kestal. She grinned, her pure white teeth glimmering off the snow as she gazed over the land.

I thought I'd never see something so beautiful. And yet, I have. Other than Ryhe, of coarse.

She chuckled at her thoughts, unable to pick up anyone elses. The wind howled, a snowstorm brewing.

Come on, Mother Nature, give me your best shot. I can take it...

She laughed at the sky, and it echoed around the mountian. She sighed of happiness, missing Ryhe, but loving to gaze at the view.

"One more minute. Just one..."

[Gwen]

Rae walked up upon this person, she was very tired. It had been a long day and there had been many hours of thinking. She had thought about marrying Grave and if there was any chance at all of having Ryhe back, and in that case if she even wanted him back. All this love always caused her problems. She wondered if Ryhe really did still care or if he had found new love and a new woman to be his "Screaming monkey".

[Karita]

Zye's ears perked up, and she jumped down, kicking the end of her sword to push it up into her hand.

"What do you want?"

She asked raising her sword in defence. It took her a moment to realize who she was, but, she didn't say a word about it. She kept quiet, her eyes narrowing, waiting for what she wanted.

[Gwen]

"Uh, nothing?" said Rae more asking a question than answering the girl, "Is it illegal to be on this mountain or something?" asked Rae in all seriousness, she really didn't know if she was allowed to wander here, she had never been here and her adventourous(sp) side decided to scale it before returning to Grave. It was a very interesting mountain and a great place to think, why had she thought so much about Ryhe though?

[Karita]

Zye glared at her, then put her sword in her haulter.

"Fine. It's not illegal, but hey, if you want to think about Ryhe, go ahead."

She started past Rae, then turned.

"Oh, and, incase your wondering. I have the power to read minds. Just a little heads up for you."

[Gwen]

"You know Ryhe?" she asked slyly. She did not like tha fact that a woman knew Ryhe, and this was not making her day any better. She had always been the jealous type and looked at this woman with scorn and utter hatred. "Ryhe Teran?" she asked knowing there was no other Ryhe around.

[Karita]

"Yup. Yea, I know, you were the so called wife he had so called loved. Trust me, I went into his mind just to dig that up."

Zye chuckled, then withdrew her sword.

"Hmm, you seem mad? Want to take it out on in a fight? Winner keeps the man. If you win, I'll visit a spellcaster to switch bodies so you have mine, and you get him. I win, and, well, I'll think of it."

[Gwen]

Rae smirked and said, "Well there is another man, Grave, if we were to uh...Switch bodies then he would be yours." said Rae crossing her arms smugly. She didn't know what she was getting herself into, but this was defienetly going to be an interesting battle. In truth Rae didn't know what she wanted, but she knew she what she didn't want and that was for Ryhe to have another woman.

[Karita]

"Alright. Come on, Green with Envy, come get me. Your move."

Zye grinned, her sword raised, ready to block anything thrown at her. she was glad she didn't mention the fact that she was the best warrior. It'd be unfair for Rae, but Zye wanted to keep Ryhe.

[Gwen]

Rae thought about a brick wall blocking any mind reading attempts as she grabbed her bow and shot an arrow straight at Zye's heart. She aimed for the heart, because one way or the other someone was going to be heart broken. She looked to see if she struck Zye watching every movement with ease.

[Karita]

Zye jumped up mistakingly, and got hit in her stomach. She grimaced, and pulled the arrow out, wincing as blood came out.

"You'll pay. I swear to you, you'll pay."

She then started to Rae, her sword behind her as she swung, close enough to strike her.

[Gwen]

The sword caught her in the arm as she tried to dodge it blood spurting out. "Really now." said Rae laughing, pulling he arm off the sword and firing close range at her chest. She wanted to get her, and she felt like a hippocrit, for she had told Ke there was no reason to kill a person, but look what she was doing. She didn't care anymore, she wanted her dead and wanted her old life back.

[Karita]

Zye dodged, ducking this time. She dashed under Rae, and appeared on the other side, and raised her sword again, swinging it. She jumped to the edge while still doging, and lost her footing, the wind blowed stronger and ever. She fell, but clung onto the edge, losing her grip quickly, only having a moment.

"So, I guess this is where the fight ends. Have fun with Ryhe. Since, I doubt you'll want to trade bodys after this one gets scarred."

Zye looked down, and grimaced, her hand becoming frozen. There were spikes.

Oh god, don't hit the spikes...

She thought to herself, looking up at Rae again.

"Well...you win..."

Her hand slipped, and she scrambled back for the edge.

What happened? I used to be the best fighter ever! It must have been lost when I learned I was pregnant...

She lost her grip on her blade, then put her arms and hands by her face, ready for the impact.

[Ryhe]

There was a swoosh as wings beated on the wind. "There she is! Dive!!" a voice shouted. The emerald dragon dove for her. A pair of arms grabbed her from he plummet and held her close. Bark's head was pulled up and he flew in that direction, then landed away from the rocks and the mountain.

Ryhe hopped off and knelt, holding Zye in his arms, "What the hell were you thinking...?" He looked back, his eyes narrowed. Any love or wish of friendship with Rae died. He looked back to Zye and looked worried, "I could have los-" He stared at the arrow in her stomach, "O..Dear Gods!! Zye!" his eyes watered as he looked at her face.

[Gwen]

Rae had grabbed for her but couldn't catch her, she hadn't really wanted her to die. She looked down and saw Ryhe doing to Zye as he had once done to her, her heart breaking into a billion pieces, it was really over. Her knees and hands in the snow she collapsed crying. She looked down trying to catch Ryhe's eye, looking for any sign of lingering love.

[Karita]

Zye pulled her arms away from her face, then got down from Ryhe.

"I'm...I'm fine Ryhe."

She lied, then noticed her sword clanged to the ground. She raised her hand, and it flew into it. She sighed, then leaned on it with most of her weight.

"Just...I think...there's someone who loves you. Because, I...I don't."

She lied, turning away. A tear fell out of her eye, and rolled down her cheek. She didn't even care to put a block up.

I used to be the best Warrioress in the land, Ryhe. Rae...she misses you. I couldn't bring myself to hurt her. I'm sorry, but you have to choose, and I don't want you to die if you choose me. Because Rae, her heart burns with flames of hatred. I don't want that to hurt you.

Zye sighed, and didn't care to glance up at Rae. She'd get Marisomo to poke the arrow out of her stomach later.

[Ryhe]

Ryhe stared at her. He clenched his fists, his eyes changing into ice blue, "Shut up.... just shut up and don't say that." He snarled. It was his worst fear come to life. Yet, back wards. He was afraid that he'd stop loving her... now she said that. He got over his fear of dragons for her.... now this?!?

Hello Ryhe...

Ryhe looked up, the voice was back. It hadn't spoken since he met Zye. Why was it talking now? Bad omens flooded his mind and he backed up, chanting 'no...no...no...no..." He dug his fingers in his hair as tears and blood from his bad eye fell.

[Gwen]

Rae didn't know what was happening. She ran down the mountain as fast as she could, and landed on her knees beside him, "SHE'S LYING! SHE FOUGHT ME FOR YOU!" said Rae giving up her love for his greater good. "SHE LOVES YOU MORE THAN I DO!" She yelled trying to save him from himself. She panted only wanting him to be happy no matter if it would be the cause of her own unhappiness, that's how much she loved him.

[Karita]

Zye stepped backwards, falling onto her sword. She looked up at Ryhe, fear eveloping her.

"Please Ryhe, calm down! I...I lied. Just...Rae love's you, too. I only want you to be happy."

She swallowed, then got up, stumbling backwards behind Rae.

"I fought Rae for you. I only wanted to win so we wouldn't risk a chance losing...nevermind. It's not important anymore..."

[Ryhe]

"She has Grave! She's married and from his looks, happily!" Ryhe sobbed hysterically, crazy and scared, not sad.

See Ryhe, they don't love you... neither do... what's holding you back...? They'd be better dead!

Ryhe's eyes remained ice blue, "Dead...but why dead...? They love me... yeah... they said so... you guys love m...m..e, right?"

Just do it... they don't need you, you don't need them.

Ryhe looked at them, then backed up more, "I... I do...I..need... I need time alone!!!" he let his berzerkir come out enough to make his arms longer and his muscles bigger. He roared and bounded off.

Bark looked at them, then trotted after the man who fed him.

[Gwen]

"I love you! But I can't anymore!" said Rae crying sadly her knees and hands deep in the dirt. "Zye needs you!" She gasoed as she watched him leave, not knowing what to do, he was insane. And possibly dangerous.

[Karita]

Zye watched him go, then looked to the ground, tears falling out of her eyes.

"It's my fault."

She whimpered, grabbing onto the arrow in her, and tearing it out.

"My fault Ryhe hates us both, Rae. I'm sorry."

She sighed, wiping the tears on her tattered dress.

[Gwen]

"No it's not, if I would've just moved on, none of this would've happened." said Rae her face in her hands tears flowing like small rivers from her endless eyes. "I just couldn;t let him go, now look what I've done to him, he loved you and I couldn't handle it. I'm so sorry." she continued, as the tears kep't coming in the long rivers of salt and water.

[Karita]

"No, Rae, it's mine! I told him I didn't love him when I didn't mean it, because I figured he'd then take you. Now he hates us both, probably me more than you."

Zye sighed, keeping herself from crying anymore. She got up, keeping herself as straight as she could before she fell onto her knees in pain again. Her body had lost a lot of blood, and she grimaced, looking up. The world began to spin, and she groaned, trying to hold on.

[Ryhe]

Ryhe stood awkwardly, miles from them. He panted, the speed and distance affecting him. He was crushed. Both women in the world he loved both stated they didn't love him. What was he to do now? Death seemed stupid.

You can... try to rule, conquer this world.

Ryhe considered...
