Legends of Akena

Togda shook his head, as the dark skin began to form on his skin, "I don't know. But you are welcome to come back with me to Melandru. My home."

Tala moved closer to Togda. "I would like that." She looked up into Togda's face, and smiled, though her eyes still had fire in them. "When this is over, I will go with you to your home, but I will not chase after you if you do not want me to be near you." Tala removed her hand from Togda's chest, and moved away from him. "I will only go near you when you make the first move." She said in a soft voice.

"Well, as soon as Azura is finished with the illusion, we have to figure out where the last necklace is. Like I said, Zagato is invincible without it. Even if you are a Deva."

Tala turned around and looked at Togda. "I am no longer a deva. I am now a fallen angel." Tala walked over to Togda and hugged him. "This is the last time I hug you without permission." Tala stepped back from him, and looked into his face. "You must invite me to hug you, or show affection to you." She told him.

"Fine." He said shortly.

"Well, no one can even touch Zagato, regardless of what they are."

((This 'upgrade to pro' thing is getting really getting annoying.))

(tala is being affected by her hatred, and all the negative emotions in morish.)

Tala turned around and looked out over the horizon of the land. It was covered in darkness, and the negative feelings made Tala feel weird. Her anger had died down, and it was replaced with fright, and wanting to be held, but she knew that she would have to wait. Tala felt the weight of her sword on her back, and Togda behind her a few feet away. 'Why am I shoving him away?' She thought to herself. 'Is it because if I attach myself to him now, he will get hurt protecting me? Whats wrong with me?' Tala was confused, and her confusion made her angry at herself. 'Togda forgive me if I get killed during the battle.'

(Agreed. Also, it's sad cause this doesn't follow the true deva background...since fallen deva's become rakshasas...phail)

Azura hummed a low tune, and Tala's appearance started to change. Her wings became a shade of black, her clothing became darkened. He changed the color of her hair to a very dark shade of black, and for added effect, changed the whites of her eyes to a dark shade of red. Nothing else was required, so that was all that was necessary. Azura nodded, "Alright, the disguise is ready. I can only keep this up for four hours, let's hope I don't have to sustain it that long..."

(i didnt know deva's became rakshases when they fall.)

Tala nodded and looked at Azura. "Thanks." She said in grateful, but cold voice."I hope the battle doens't last the long too." She stretched her wings out, and folded them against her back again. Something was putting her on edge.

((Whoops, my bad. Should have told you...))

Togda nodded, "Let's just get in there. The way the song is, I think it might being worn by someone here."

Tala started to walk into the land of Morish, but stopped, and turned around to face the others. "Lets hope we all don't die." She said, as she began her journey to kill Zagato.

"Death is not quite an option at this moment." Togda sighed as he walked along with Tala.

Tala kept pace with Togda. "What if you can't kill Zagato?" She asked him concerned for his safety. Tala looked at him, the fire in her eyes was gone, replaced with the love she held for him.

"Then I will do as much damage to that bastard as he deserves." A fierce fire sprang up in his eyes.

Tala turned her head away, and unconciously moved closer to Togda. She kept her head low, and her eyes on where she was going. "If you go bloodlust, what do you want me to do?" Tala knew she would either hide, or try to snap Togda out of it. She looked at him again, and realized how close she was to him.

"If I do go bloodlust, then snap me out of it when I've run my course and collapse."

Tala nodded. Her eyes no longer had fire in them, instead they were filled love, sadness, and fright. She blinked and quickly looked away from him. Tala could feel her arm rubbing up against his, so she moved away a couple of inches, so she wouldn't crowed his space. "Sorry." She said. "I'm sorry for everything Togda."

"Sorry for what?"

Tala sighed and looked at him. "I'm sorry I was always clingy with you. I'm sorry for getting hurt all the time. I'm sorry I fell in love with someone who is in love with someone else. I'm sorry for making you feel like you always had to be there for me." Tala was close to crying. She only let a couple of tears escape her eyes and roll down her cheeks. "I'm sorry for being so childish. And I'm especially sorry if I have made this journey unpleasant for you." She wiped her eyes, and stopped walking. She lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry I am not the princess you want me to be." She said softly.

"If it had bothered me at all, I would have said something." Togda smiled.

"Anyway, we have to find that necklace. And the song changed...." He closed his eyes, "It's being worn by someone one of us know very closely. Perhaps even related."

Tala looked up at Togda, and saw him smile. "Togda, before we leave this spot, can I kiss you?" Tala blushed and lowered her eyes. "Do you love me? Or do you love someone else?" Tala looked up to stare into his eyes, so that she would know the truth of his words.

Togda leaned down and kissed Tala lightly on the cheek, "The question of love, is one I can't answer at this moment. But will after Zagato."

Tala nodded, and quickly kissed him on the cheek. "Then lets go kill that bastard." She smiled at Togda.

Azura nodded, "Then lets move! We don't want the demons here to think that we have a fallen angel here with thoughts of normal romance...as a matter of fact I was waiting for you two to finish your tender moment for us to move on..."

"Agreed. And Azura? Do you know anyone in this place that might have the necklace? Like I said, the song sounds a though a bond exists between one of us and someone here in Morish. And I doubt it's Tala or myself."

Azura didn't care anymore whether or not they found out. He shrugged, "My mother...though where she is I have no idea..."
