[cloud strife]

corruption forrest, the basis of clouds fears, but things had been weird lately, strange men had been appearing.
**cloud emerged from behind a tree, and looked at his surroundings**"not much to look at- huh" **cloud spun around, and being that he was already halfway through the clearing, he was face to face with a strang man**
"are you from here, and more importantly, are you posing a threat"
*the man laughed, and it gave cloud a cold shiver**
"mystery man-i am neither here nor there, i am what is to become, and i will smite down anyone who opposes my beliefs"
**without a word cloud drew his blade and dashed at the mystery man, swinging his blade, he was instantly blocked by the attack, and kicked backward**
"ignorant fool, you cannot defeat what is essentailly yourself**
**cloud glared at the man, and lightened the wieght of the sword by taking apart the fully complete buster sword**
"i guess i missread your strength"
**cloud ran at the man, but faster thins time, and again was met by the mans blade, swiftly, he turned around, and ducked swinging the sword at the mans legs, he jumped"good, now die"cloud did a quick summersault and pointed his legs at the opposer, he kicked at him, and sent him air born. then performing a backflip after the leap, he put his buster sword in lou with the mans back**
"ACK! how... how can any one be that fast"
**cloud watched him bleed, and when he was sure of his death, he started to walk away,... from a distance cloud could see a glowing pair of eyes, and drew his blade again, at that moment, it seemed that the eyes were multipying, cloud was surrounded in an instant. the creatures looked like rotting corpses of demons. cloud new this figth was going to be difficult**

*** As cloud watches the creatures surround him, he saw a patch of too dark darkness moving in sync with the shadows the creatures gave*** Preparing for the worst Cloud breathed deeply and to his suprise the blackness stopped behind one of the demons and the last half of a scimitar burst through the creatures chest*** the creature giving a gurgling sigh slid off the obviously magically inhanced blade** As the demons turned to see what had just attacked one of there own, a startling blue bolt of lightning leapt from the blackness and into the sky***
***As the darkness disappeared, having been dissapated by its creator, The bolt of lightning returned to the ground and blew the ground and demons on the ground into nothingness**

[cloud strife]

**cloud blinked, and looked at the distruction**
"who are you, and what is your purpose"
**and he trustfully sheathed his blade**

[paladinian]

With the darkness gone cloud saw that it was a tall dark elf
" I am Raithazer Stormbolt i noticed you looked like you where in trouble so i decided to lend a hand, these strange creatures have been appearing in the forest for a while now"
** Raithazer cleaned his blade as he asked cloud who he was**

[cloud strife]

"i dunno any more, but what i do know, is i just apeared here, and away from the people i know"
**cloud slowly makes his way toward reithazer, keeping his eyes on him**

[paladinian]

**Watching clouds obvious distrustfulness of Raithazer, He is offered a sip of brandy from him***

"Tell me of yourself friend and i will do what i can"

[cloud strife]

" i originate from nebelhiem, and am an ex-solder. i am a hero on that planet, i helped to thwart corruption and chaos on earth, and now here i am, freindless, and nothing to do"
**cloud pockets the brandy, and stands comfortable now, but still has a close eye on him**

[paladinian]

" Interesting, what brings you to the forest"

*** Puts sword in sheath***

[cloud strife]

" i really don't know, i am just trying to get- ugh!"
**in mid sentence, cloud is interupted abruptly by a flying takle. the takle takes him through the trees, and into a canyon. looking up, he sees a dark figure ontop of him and sneering. the sky is still darker than night, and this depresses cloud, then from a deep part of his mind, he recalls his freinds, and this renews his will to fight. then with a quick motion he draws his sword**
"**sob**I... i cant take it, and you are who i am going to take it out on!"
**cloud spins and slashes across it's chest, then with all of his angst focused, he summons fire 3, and decimates the foe**
"i will not allow my life to end in this acursed place"
*and with that, he spun backward untill he reached the ground and looked up **

[paladinian]

As Raithazer was listening to cloud and watched him get tackled out over the canyon.
"hmmm, seems cloud has pocketed my brandy...bastered... well better go see if he can handle this or if ima have to kick some ass..."

** starts walking over to canyon when a massive firestorm blows up everything in site, obliterating the enemy**
" seems under control"

looking out over the edge seeing cloud backflipping down Raithazer touches his old house insignia and floats to the bottem and walks over to cloud**
"seems you have a knack for enemies"

** Quickley pulling out spider web and mirror, Raithazer starts to mutter a spell that will restore the stolen flask of brandy to hand**
