Full Moon, Dangerous for Bane's

Steel grinned, his emotionless grin as she clashed her weapon with his, he then pulled back, and watched as she got a dagger. "So it seems." He mumbled, throwing himself forward, and slashing his sword in a down-ward slash at her left side again, and then he quickly pulled his sword up, and slashed at her again, only on her right side now, and he kept the dagger close, ready to defend and to attack.

'I don't doubt that you can fight, you've led me here, without having to use eyes, so, why would I doubt that, but I shall tell you when,' she said, and her thoughts swam for a moment, trying to figure out when they should make their move. She watched as Steel and Lex fought, her heart pounded in her chest, she was afraid, but it didn't show anywhere as she watched. She looked at the body of her brother. He lay still, and she wanted to go help him, and get him out of there.

Eben was down, low towards the ground, out of view, as he watched. He glanced over towards where Tear was, but he didn't see her, he was only making sure he was still alright, then he looked to where Heart was, though, he didn't see her either, but then he noticed a torch glance off something metal, it was Heart's quarter staff.

Heart was silent, creeping over to where she was to take a position at, waiting for a signal from Eben, then she will make her move. She was the closest to Trephas, and that was what she wanted to do, she wanted to get over to Trephas, and try to not be seen, but there were many men, who were standing around trying to get the weapons that had fallen from their horses who have ran away, some even ran to chase the horses.

Steel continued to throw attacks at her, not wavering once, and not ever leaving a spot open, he was letting her block his attacks, to see how well she was.

'Lex, and the boy are fighting, they seem concentrated on that, I think I or we, could try getting Trephas out of there, but we will have to fight the other men to get through,' Tear said, her thoughts swimming with thoughts of what to do.

Steel, when he was hit, a struck to the head, he was dazed for a moment, which was less then ten seconds, and then he wheeled back, putting a small distance between Lex and himself. He glared at her.

"I think I'm done playing this little game, aren't you?" He said, in a calm steady voice, his emotionless self returning. His yellow eyes seemed to fade, and became a dark blood red. The clouds that swirled in the sky seemed to rip out of the sky, and then went down, it looked almost like water, flowing down towards Steel, and wrapped him in it.

The clouds swirled around him for a long while, but then it expanded, surrounding Lex and him, in a wide circled, and Trephas also was in the circle of clouds. When Steel was seen finally through the fog of the clouds, anger burned in his eyes. His long fingers gripped the handles of his blades.

Every now and then in the cloud, lightning erupted, sending bolts around Lex and himself. He leaped forward, his blades flashing as he sent attacks from every direction, and he never stopped to take a break. The fog of the cloud didn't even bug him. His eyes glowed as he attacked.

Heart watched what happened her eyes wide with fear, and she gasped slightly but then bit her tongue, keeping herself quiet. Most of the men around, that had fallen off their horses were running away in the forest, but she stayed hidden not wanting to get in a fight, she just wanted to help her cousin.

Eben stayed there, watching, his eyes still dull. He looked at the still body of his cousin. He was tempted to go into the fog, and sneak over to his cousin, and get him out of there, but then there was the chance of being seen by Steel. He readied himself to make a move, but before he could a angry like voice spoke behind him, and his body tensed.

"Not planning to help him, are you?" Said the voice, and when Eben turned around, he wasn't surprised to see Fury there, on top of his horse, his sword out, with fresh blood on it. Eben stared at the sword for a long time, and Fury let out a small laugh. "Pathetic men of that boy came after me, I had to do something about them, I wasn't going to let them catch me again!" Fury said, smiling evilly.

"Fury, you have to help them, if your so wonderful with that sword, then go help the girl." Eben told Fury, and for once, Eben's eyes looked angry.

"She can handle herself." Fury responded, looking at the still figure of Trephas, and he grinned slightly then turned to Eben. "I see no point in helping."

"Trephas is your brother, Fury, you could at least help him!" Eben said is voice raised.

"No need to shout, dear cousin." Fury said in a smooth voice, that made Eben shiver slightly.

Tear stood there watching and waiting, silently. She watched as the cloud, which seemed like fog, came down and surrounded them, and she grinned slightly. She took a step forward, wanting to run out there and help her twin, but then she remembered what Kane had said, and she stayed still for a moment, and glanced back at him, but she couldn't help it but take another step forward, but as she did, she had stepped on a twig, and it snapped.

Malice who was still there, but who looked a little tired, after being thrown off by his horse, but he was still there, leaning on a tree, watching the fight, but when he heard the twig snap, he looked back, and saw Tear and Kane. His eyes flared up with anger, and a grin went across is face, and he started walking towards them, and he drew a dagger that had been in his boot.

He then charged up, and stabbed at Tear, but she easily dodged, but tripped as she did.

Tear watched Kane kill Malice, well, he looked dead. Her eyes were wide with fear for a moment then it left, and a bit of anger crept into her eyes as she turned to look at the fog. She couldn't see Trephas through it.

Steel smiled, and his eyes glowed brightly.

"No, I won't, but that doesn't matter." He said in a smooth voice. "But the longer you take fighting me, the faster the Bane's life fades away... How much longer do you think he can hold on for?"

"Well then, Fury, if your not going to help us then go away! Go back to the academy and leave us to this! I do not have time for this argument." Eben said in a stern voice, and Fury just smiled evilly. Eben turned around, he heard the voice in his head from Kane, and he ready himself to go into the fog, as she took a step forward, the tip of a blade was resting in the middle of his back.

Eben halted, staying still, knowing that if he moved forward, Fury would stab.

"Your forgetting one thing, cousin... I have time for this argument." Fury said, his eyes shining insanely.

Eben turned around to quickly for Fury to move. Eben's sword rested in his hand. He moved the blade swiftly, slashing Fury's sword away with a loud clang.

"Go away, Fury, before I start recalling what you have been through, and I'll just tell everyone your dark secret, and what you did to your own brother!" Eben said angrily, his voice full of anger. He glared at Fury, who sat there, very still. Quickly, Fury turned his horse around and galloped off. Eben turned around and charged off into the fog, his sword ready.

Heart stood there a moment, then when she heard Kane, she started moving forward, silent, but quickly, and soon she was running, into the fog, her eyes quickly looking around. Her quarter staff resting in her hands.

"Are you sure you want to stop playing?" Steel asked. "Oh well, I had just about enough of you. How would you rather die? Slow, or fast? You may choose your death." He said, a smile over his emotionless face.

Heart started walking forward, her footsteps quiet, and this time she stayed quiet. She went into the fog, and saw Trephas' body, but she made no move to ran forward, her eyes were shifting to Lex, and Steel, who was staring cruelly at Lex

Steel gasped, pain very clear in his eyes. His smile was long gone, and is face was twisted with anger and pain. He fell to his knees, griping at his head. He was mumbling, wanting it to stop.

"Stop..." He mumbled in pain. "...Leave my mind alone..." He said again a bit louder. His head raised slightly, but he dropped it again, the pain searing through his mind. The fog that once surrounded them seemed to disappear, the clear night once again normal.

Steel looked around a moment, though the pain was strong. He saw Eben, charging forward, and Heart also running forward, and then Tear coming forward at a slower pace, and then Kane. He glared at them angrily then his eyes looked at Lex's, staring into hers.

"You will be..." He gasped, pain in his voice, but he forced himself to stand, his legs were shaking, but his gaze was steady. He raised his hand, it reached out towards Lex's, then he swiped it aside, in a smooth motion, and Lex would feel something large hit against her, hitting her aside.

As his hand returned to his side, he slumped to the ground onto his knees. He stayed there a moment, looking at the people around him, then he smiled, his smile full of menace. Then he fell to the ground, and as he did, a black mist floated from the body, and off through the forest, at a very fast speed.

The rest of Steel's men were running away, while their horses also ran away, most of the men didn't notice that their leader was dead, they just didn't care at the moment, the only thing they thought about was escape.

Tear, when Steel had dead, as it seemed, she rushed over to Trephas' side, and knelt down beside him, and checked for his pulse. It was light, and it was hardly noticeable, but he was alive. "His alive." Tear said smiled weakly, and she stroked her twins hair. She signaled to Hear,t and the young girl came trotting to her cousins side.

"We have to get them to the hospital wing." Tear said then looked up at Eben, was was kneeling next to the boy who Steel was in.

"He's alive. Dying it seems, but alive." Eben said in a very calm voice, that slightly annoyed Tear.

"Alive! How can he be alive?!" She said angrily, glaring at Eben.

"I don't know. I have no idea how strong Lex's powers were." He looked up, as if reminded by something, and he looked at Lex who was in Kane's arms, then he turned his gaze to the limp fifteen year old boy, whose eyes suddenly opened, but the glow in them weakened. The boy opened his mouth several times, as if going to speak, but ended up coughing.

"Heart, get this boy, and we'll take him to the hospital wing." Eben said, but Heart stood there, then got the boy throwing his arm over her shoulders, then Heart stood there, waiting, while Eben went and helped Tear get Trephas.

"How is Lex?" Tear asked, looking over at Lex.
