This is an Alternate Universe of the Land of WAR!
In this universe, there was no Demon Queen. There were no Guardians. No guild existed. Cold-hearted Demons, Vampires and other supernatural plague the land creating chaos from time to time. Slayers are the only people whom really stand a chance against them. But they are few and the monsters many. Few cities stand these days and mostly villages cover WAR. Advanced technology, as simple as guns, are for those who don't have to focus on putting food on the table. Slavery is never out of the question, there are plenty of slavers and raiders who roam. Living day to day has its struggles for the meek. The land is cold. Hard. Unforgiving.
So tell me, where do you stand in this other WAR?

Arashi walked along a dirt road on his way to a nearby city. The rain cover as usual follows him as he digs into his pocket pulling out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He puts a cig to his mouth and lights it, putting the rest of the pack in his pocket with the lighter.

A dark figure roamed through the dense forest, the moonlight struggled to even cast a ray of light upon the ground due to the trees above. As the figure made it's way along a dark path screams could be heard in the distance, however this was rather normal the one thing one could be concerned about was when the screamings stopped. The figure stood still upon hearing something in the bushes nearby, a demon launched forth out of it charging at the figure. "How barbaric, have you no class..." He spoke in a male voice. Metal could be heard moving at a fast rate clearly sliding against something as the demon neared him, the next things that would be seen is the demons head falling onto the ground below. The man placed his weapon away and moved on, his destination would be a large lake with the forest surrounding it.

Arashi heard a noise coming from the woods and altered his path, heading towards the noise he approached the edge of the woods putting his cigarette out on a tree trunk. He reached up and grabbed some pine needles, crushing them and rubbing them on his hands and clothes to mask his scent, he placed another few in his mouth and chewed them until his breathe no longer reeked of tobacco. Arashi picked up his pace running silently through the woods, which was easy for him since silence was his profession, he stopped and ducked behind a tree at the sight of what he thought was a man. He jumped up into the tree and decided to follow but would remain within the tree cover. Lightning boomed over head as Arashi's blood rushed, he was becoming excited, it had been a while since his last encounter with a capable foe.

A shadow darkened in the forest, the animals fell silent as a raven flew up and as it soared it shifted in shape until it was a man standing in a business suit. His hair was shaggy and black falling around green eyes. "Coast is clear." He said as the shadow seemed to rise from the ground and pull away revealing Jaziline, her hair was long and pulled back into a bun except for two long bangs that hung around her face. In her hand she held a black book that was a few shades darker than her own business suit. In her hand was a black ribbon that was posed ready. Jaziline turned her head to the left. "I thought you said the coast is clear." She said dully to Rave. Rave smirked, "Of actual threats. I will be more clear next time." He said pulling his hands from his pockets and a foolish demon came charging out. Jaziline reacted first a dagger was produced from her sleeve and struck the demon in the throat as Rave's hands were a flamed and he destroyed the evidence and the air around them filled with silent screams of agony and the flickering of flames.
Jaziline held a green bead and placed it in a pouch. "How many souls do we still need Rave?" She asked and Rave ran a hand through his hair. "At least 30 more by the end of the week." he said and Jaziline nodded and began to walk through the forest.

The man soon stepped out upon a large clearing staring out upon the water from the lake, he stared at the moon before reaching back and grabbing his scythe, he turned around towards the forest, tilting his head a bit to the side as his white eyes stared blankly through his blue hair. "Come on out." He said as if knowing someone was there.

Arashi jumped off of the Oak branch landing a few feet infront of the man. He sighed, "I like to observe before making contact. But alas, you spotted me." He extended his gloved hand, fingerless with a steel plate across the back, while his other hand remained in his pocket. "Onizuka Arashi, you are?" He glanced at the scythe, a beautiful weapon very graceful in the right hands, clumsy in the wrong.

A white steed raced across the dirt path that connected villages, a cloak flapped behind the horse's white tail. Upon the back sat a woman, adorned in white clothing, the only colors that seemed to stand out from that was the brown boots upon her feet and the saddle she sat on. A black blade was strapped to her back.
The woman quickly pulled back on the leather reigns, the horse snorted in response as it's hooves dug into the road. It reared before settling down, the woman's eyes darted through the trees as if she had seen someting... or sensed something

The man stared at the suddenly friendly stranger as he introduced himself, he reached out with his left hand shaking the mans hand. "The name's Apaichi." He gave a slight smile still not sure whether or not to trust the man, untill he put away his scythe the man would clearly know he didn't trust him yet.

Arashi nodded. He produced a kunai from his holster and spun it around his finger, " What brings you to these parts?" He stepped to the right keeping his uncovered eye on the man.

From a fury of flames, walked a triumphant group of people. Around their ankles and some their hands, broken chains. Their clothes were tattered just as much as their bodies. Some wounded, leaning on others for help. Their faces were far from victorious winners though, they were tired and haggard. Each slave ranged in age, size and race. But despite this, they were a united group. Leading them all from the fire, rode confident woman. She looked very unlike the others. Out of all of them she was the only one who had cat ears and a tail. Her clothes were that of a prepared warrior. The woman even rode atop a large black cat.
"We will find them Catelyn," The black feline would voice in human tongue. Catelyn nodded her head, "I know. But I pray to the old gods we won't be late Vash."
"We won't," Vash replied confidently. Catelyn would turn her head, to look back at the people. Some were armed with weapons. Guns even. "I must take my leave," She would shout to them, "There is a village not far from here, to the east. I bid you all farewell!"
The blonde woman would lean forward, grabbing to Vash's fur. Knowing she was secured, Vash would take off into the cover of the forest. They could hear the cheers of thanks fade away the further away they went. |

Apaichi smirked lightly as the man drew his kunai, He turned his head to the right completely breaking eye contact with the male.
"I'm simply trying to get by how I can, just like everyone else in this land." Apaichi's pointed ears twitched lightly with the sound of the man stepping, clearly his hearing was amazing. Other than his ears Apaichi would appear innocent for the most part, this of course not including the scythe.

Arashi continued to walk in a circle around the man, he sniffed the air. It smelled like blood. "I see. What is your profession?" He produced a bag of weed and some papers and rolled a joint, lighting it to rid the clearing of the stench of death.

Apaichi seemed to distance himself from the man as he began smoking weed, it messed with one's senses he preferred to keep away from the smoke so that he would not even have to worry about secondhand side effects. "I have no profession..." Apaichi said clearly tired of being questioned. "So tell me, do you question everyone you meet like this?"

Arashi took a hit of the J, focused and channeled energy to his lung, when he exhaled the entire clearing became a marijuana smokescreen. Arashi's voice was a whisper within the smoke, "No, only ones that intruige me." A burst of air could be felt zooming past Apaichi, and a second later he would feel a small cut on his arm.

Jaziline and Rave saw rain in one spot of a clearing. "That is odd," Rave began, "Shall we investigate?" He asked and Jaziline nodded and they walked to just outside the clearing to watch the battle between Apaichi and Arashi.

Apaichi frowned heavily as the area became engulfed by the smoke. "You really should learn to be more polite to people you meet." Apaichi brought his left hand up rubbing the wound before looking back up, his expression never changed it seemed as though he was unamused, however he did enjoy the ability this man had shown he just was not the type to smile to hostiles.
Apaichi brought his scythe infront of him and began spinning it the Scythe began to pick up incredible speeds acting like a massive fan and blowing the smoke off to the edges, this gave to Lake an eerie look, no doubt the smoke would also cause unwanted attention.
"I prefer to see my prey thank you." Apaichi brought his scythe back down before bring his left hand up and snapping his fingers, the cloak around him vanished as he began stretching.

Arashi held back a smile. "I am glad to see that you are the scythe-graceful type and not the scythe-clumsy type. Arashi killed the joint and stepped it out, "Now that I am relaxed I can do this." He closed his eyes, threw the kunai into the ground and placed his hands in his pockets. After a few moments of silence his feet began to sink into the ground a bit as he opened the first energy gate within the body, the gate of opening. Another few seconds passed and the ground cracked at his feet as the second gate, the gate of healing opened. "Are you ready?"

Apaichi stared at the man as he "powered up" He brought his scythe up to show he recognized the mans talent and held respect for him. "Lets go."
Apaichi image vanished from sight reforming inches infront of Arashi as he swiped his scythe down at him. He brought his left hand down to the lowered part of his scythe as if preparing for a counter while attacking.

Arashi dropped to the ground, grabbed his kunai and stopped the sytche with his plated glove. He brought a foot up with immense speed towards the mans kidney and began to run an electrical charge through his kunai in preperation for the next move.
