Out of Place, Into Nostalgia [Closed]
Thu Nov 30, 2017 10:51 am
COVERT OPERATIONS SQUAD CAPTAIN
The silence was one of the reasons that people loved to travel into the forest. It was a place of solitude and peace, leaving many on their own to collect their thoughts through meditation, slumber, or even something as writing. But for others, it was a perfect place for something more...sinister. That very reason was why he was running. The man's eyes constantly moved around in the sockets as his focus and gaze zipped from object to object. He zipped through the trees, performing flash step after flash step in an attempt to escape his pursuers.
Briefly stopping his movements to rest behind a tree, Henrex's head slowly turned the corner, to see if he had lost them. The glint of black steel that flew towards his head denied this. Immediately taking off again, Henrex unfurled his wings as his movements began to falter. He knew that he had the power to wipe them out, but he didn't. He just kept fleeing. He knew that he would have to do it at some point, but he was trying to delay that option as long as he could. But, with how persistent the assassins were being, he figured that it wouldn't matter.
Henrex's poncho fluttered in the wind as his arm slowly exited the safety of the garb, brandishing a small kunai between each of his fingers. With his wings spreading outwards in order to prevent him from losing altitude and speed, Henrex's body whipped around in a full 360, sending the weapons flying towards his attackers. Seeing two of the shadows drop to the forest floor as the weapons hit their mark, before realizing his mistake. As he turned around, Henrex reached for another set of weapons, before feeling a large, sharp object bury itself into his wing, immediately off-setting his balance.
The avian began falling.
Crack, crack, crack!
Several branches broke from the sheer speed that he was impacting them with. It didn't hurt, of course. Well, it hurt a little, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The pain was causing him to become more and more alert, allowing him to gauge his surroundings as he crashed. Landing on the ground with little more than a small thud, Henrex immediately lept to his feet, wincing in pain as he tried to start flying again, only for him to drop to the ground again -- thankfully, this time on his feet. Tenderly bringing his wing close to him, he softly grazed the wound, sighing as he let his wings drift back to its usual place.
"End of the road, brat. Nowhere to run or hide." The ninja said, materializing mere feet away from Henrex, another massive weapon at the ready.
Henrex's eyes flicked to the left and the right, before finally gazing at his injured wing. Without so much as a word, he took off running at Mach speeds, able to keep out of sight with his pursuer as he frantically stepped into a shadow, teleporting to each one that he saw, gaining more and more distance from the other ninja. Eventually, the Garb of Tsukuyomi ran out of it's Shadow Essence, forcing Henrex to stop in his tracks, to both regain his breath and recharge the Shadow Essence. Sliding down to sit at the base of the tree, Henrex took a deep breath as he finally found a sense of relief.
Turning his head, Henrex felt, even more, relief as he saw a hut. He looked around, before reaching out with his senses in order to attempt and find the ninja's spiritual presence. He found nothing. Stepping out from the shadows to allow his body to return to visibility, Henrex quickly dashed to the door, wincing as the weapon in his wing moved and dug itself deeper into the protrusion.
"Thank the gods...! Maybe my luck is changing." He whispered, before knocking softly and resting an arm on the doorway.

He got careless. That was how he made himself vulnerable. He had gotten careless and didn't think before he acted, which had led him to his injury. He cursed himself in his head for this slip-up as he waited at the door. But, instead of the door being opened like he expected, the door only cracked open, and a small mass of green peeked from the darkness inside. Henrex blinked several times at this unsure of what really to think. She seemed nervous and scared, all the while trying to be brave. A small smile came from Henrex as he watched this.
"Don't worry, I'm not someone bad." He said, trying to straighten up as he spoke. "I'm just a passerby that needs help."
The massive black object that stuck out of his wing burned as it remained, feeling something seep into his body. That kind of burn was something that Henrex knew all too well. It was a type of poison. Henrex clenched his teeth as it sunk deeper into his body, wincing as the green-haired girl saw that he was injured and went to check on the wound, immediately flailing and panicking -- one of the worst things to do in this situation. So, as a result, Henrex's hands weakly rose from his side, softly putting them on her shoulders.
"First of all, just calm down." He said, looking the girl dead in the eye as she would be able to feel his willpower and desire for her to be calm softly pressure her the longer he would be in her presence.
But, there was something even more wrong. He could sense them. He turned around, stepping down from the porch and looking around, trying to figure out where that sense was coming from. Quickly clasping his hands together, Henrex closed his eyes and began to channel into the Ring of Sky -- which, in reality, was just his energy reserves -- and activated the kuji-in hand seal, Kai.
"On nōmaku sanmanda basaradan kan." He said.
Immediately, the ninja's senses were heightened, allowing him to scope out and "feel" for the potential danger around him. Keeping his eyes closed in order to keep himself focused, he reached out with his energy in order to find the sense of danger and get rid of it.
It was moving...and it stopped moving -- right in front of him. His eyes snapped open as he watched the opposing shadow draw weapons, and Henrex zipped back to the porch, his wings spreading as he ignored the flaring pain that shot through his injured one.
"Get down!" He yelled.
He immediately wrapped his arms around Irene and pulled her close to him, shielding her from what was about to happen. The wind howled as the weapons flew. Henrex's squeezed his eyes shut as his wings took all of the abuse. The weapons sliced and cut deep into the feathery protrusions, some being large, some being small. They all burned with the same fire as the first weapon that had impacted him. As he stood there, he found his body seething with anger.
Releasing the green-haired girl from the protecting embrace he had given her, his hand shot backward, thrusting forward not a moment later as a bolt of lightning shot from his hand and sped towards the ninja, a simple swing from his arm enough to quickly cut the man in half. There was no blood, no guts, no gore. The man simply faded away into the shadows. Grumbling slightly at what they had used, before wincing as the weapon's poison burned through his system much more violently, Henrex turned around and looked at Irene.
"Yeah...it hurts a lot." He said weakly. "Can...you help?"

Henrex exhaled softly as the adrenaline soon died down, and things returned to serenity once more...well, at least mostly. He could sense the girl's panic and nervousness, and he couldn't blame her. Seeing a man appear on her porch, injured, and chased by other men dressed in black, before cutting one of them down right in front of her? Henrex could definitely understand why she was wary.
So, as she held out her hand, Henrex took it graciously, lightly pulling himself to his feet and reaching out with his other hand, a tissue clutched in his pale fingers. Softly wiping the eyes of the girl from her tears, before she helped him inside, with Henrex sitting down in a chair, cradling his wing as he looked at the various ninja tools the seeped with an orange, paste-like substance. Letting go of it, he turned back to Irene,
"I'm Henrex." He said softly, extending a hand to the girl.
If Irene accepted his hand, she would find her anxieties, worry, and nervousness slowly fading away as the male's eyes would close, taking this opportunity to both help her, and aid himself. The Hybrid's demon half began to feed on these negative emotions, hopefully making her a little less afraid. Thus, after this was done, Henrex's eyes would open, and a hand would brush away a few of the raven locks from his other eye, revealing the grey optic, rippled and appeared to be near-useless.
"I'm not entirely sure of the reason why myself." He admitted."There's a lot of possibilities, but none of them I've been able to pin down as the sole reason."
As he spoke, Henrex would be seen wrapping his hand around a large shuriken, roughly tugging at the item as he winced, several stings of pain being a result of the attempts.
"It probably won't be long before they send more..." He mumbled, his head turning to look out the window for a moment, before turning back.
"Regardless of the...less than regular conditions, it's nice to meet you, Irene." He finished, a soft smile forming on his face.

Henrex's hand shot forward as Irene went to hit herself in the face, even if it was light, it wasn't necessary. The male's eyes went stony for a moment, before softening once more as he gently moved the girl's arm to the side, shaking his head softly.
"Now, there's no need for that." He said. "It's fine, Irene."
There was no need for her to apologize for something like that. It was a simple mistake that anyone was capable of making. Therefore, she had no real reason to have to hit herself, no matter how light or how hard it was. As she said her thanks and spoke about how she felt after he had consumed the negative emotions that were plaguing her before, a hand moved over his heart, softly clenching at the fabric of his haori and shirt.
"I'm not sure what you did, either..." His head tilted downward, looking at himself as he said this. "I feel...happier. Calmer. More...relaxed."
As she moved behind him, her own healing hands beginning to work on the various wounds on his body and wings, the avian's body immediately felt the effects of Holy Aether. While his resistance had been boosted by Cirno using her own Aether in order for him not to implode while at her wedding and being surrounded by the thousands of Angel Iramasha emitting Holy Aether. as well.
A hand shot to his stomach as the holy aether attempted to mend him, with Henrex immediately disappearing in a momentous flash step, appearing a few steps away from her, already feeling a sense of sickness sink in as he quickly bolted outside in an instant, leaving the wounds -- for the most part, only partially healed. Henrex disappeared into the forest for a few moments in order to relieve himself of the sickness.
Henrex soon reappeared back where he was a short time later, only a few coughs coming from him as his face turned red. His arm moving to the back of his neck, rubbing softly.
"I-I probably should have told you sooner, but, I'm half demon."
He looked up at Irene. "My body and anything holy in nature don't exactly...mix well. Sorry..."
The young man soon switched to rubbing his arm sheepishly as he was quickly standing up straight once more, stepping forward to close the distance between himself and the Angel.
"It's also how I was able to help you before." He said. "My demon half enables me to eat negative emotions."
Henrex turned the chair around, before sitting down in front of the Angel again.
"Can you try and do that again?" He said. "Er...without the Holy Energy?"

Bringing a hand to his mouth and wiping the remaining traces of vomit from his face, Henrex coughed before allowing his energy to disintegrate the bile from his hand. As Irene asked if he was okay, Henrex immediately jolted to attention, instantly standing up straight with a hand moving to the back of his neck.
"Y-Yeah, I'm okay now." He said softly, lightly blushing out of shame and embarrassment.
"Angels are the natural counter to Demons." He explained, holding his hand out in front of him. A red orb of energy flared to life on the palm of his hand. "Holy energy, the energy that Angel Iramasha use, is, for most, a natural poison to demons."
The orb of Henrex's hand fizzled and flickered as a result of this mention. "Since I'm half-Demon, this can have some pretty bad effects on me -- although they're not nearly as bad as they were."
As he sat down, Henrex took a deep breath, hoping that this time, he wouldn't have to...excuse himself once more. It wasn't exactly the best thing, to feel sick and having the need to vomit just from the exposure to energy of one of his half's natural enemies. But, her answer surprised him. The two would share in the silence and blinks, before Henrex slowly rose to his feet, tilting his head to the side.
"Uh...yeah." He said, puzzled as to why she was confused. "I thought Angel Iramasha had Holy Aether and regular Aether?"
His mind briefly went back to Cirno's wedding, where he had been subjected to thousands of Angel Iramasha's Holy Essence, causing him to nearly die and implode as a result of this. But, Cirno had been the one to save him from it. The energy signature that had been within the spell was unable to be mistaken for someone else.
So, as Henrex put a hand to his chin, he thought about it for a moment. Being someone who two forms of energy and power, it was relatively easy to find relevance and similarities in the topic. It was something that could potentially aid him when it came to his own energy, its control, and his overall prowess with his energy. Therefore, as the hand dropped back to his side, Henrex would be able to speak with confidence with his answer.
"Well...I'm guessing that there are two aspects to your energy type: Aether." He said. "Cirno, another Angel Iramasha, used regular Aether to fix me up during a...situation that I had, regarding Holy Energy."
A hand rose to the back of his neck -- again -- and softly rubbed it.
"I guess I assumed that all Angel Iramasha could do this naturally." He said. "Maybe, if you remove the holy aspect to your Aether? Not really sure if you can do that, but it could be worth a try."
