"What's so important that you would have to kill me for it?" Reiuji asks.

"I am unsure," said the demon. "But that is what I have been commanded to do."

"Well, I always try a way to avoid fights if I can." Reiuji says. "Do you know who summoned you?"

"I was summoned by Lokode the Just, a sorcerer who has since left this mortal realm - but, as per the rules of our engagement, I am not freed by his simple death," sighed the demon. "Which is unfortunate, as it is a little too cold here for my tastes. I come from a warmer, jungle climate.. the ice does not suit me."

"Well, I'll come back when I find a way to free you, I promise" Reiuji says, bowing to the demon. "I'll see you later~" She heads for the exit, fully intent on keeping her promise.

"Thank you, madam," said the demon sadly.

It was extremely hot outside.

(The cold part is in the north. >_>)

Reiuji leaves the temple and heads to the eastern part of her realm, still intent on finding thrills and excitement.

(Sorry. Edited.)

Reiuji soon came upon a large metal sphere, hanging in the sky, as if it were watching the warm lands below. Hanging from it, ever so lightly, was a single silver cord, which - Reiuji supposed - could be climbed to gain access to the thing. The sphere was huge - the size of a small moon - and strangely menacing.

Reiuji tugs on the cord to see if it was stable or not. She then climbs up it if it is.

The thread was secure. It was strong - almost like steel, but with the texture of cloth - and only pulled down a little as Reiuji climbed upon it. It was definitely magical.. or maybe some bizarre form of hyper-advanced technology.

The climb was long, but not particularly difficult. Reiuji was athletic enough. As she got higher, the temperature dropped considerably, and it was when she was roughly halfway to the silver moon - and the gigantic rocks below were only tiny specks upon a blurred landscape - when she heard the siren.

Not a siren, exactly, but the beating of heavy drums.. loud enough, ferocious enough to be heard even in the rasping winds that threatened to throw Reiuji to her doom. To be heard even as the moon was still distant..

From above the moon, movement. Screeching. Darts, hurting towards heard, grey and black..

They were, perhaps, the size of Reiuji, but skinner - unnaturally gaunt - and bonier. They were reptilian in feature, with the feet and wings of a small dragon, no arms, and - perhaps the most disconcerting thing - the horrible head of the squid, complete with dangling tentacles adorned with black-blue (obviously poisonous) suction cups. The things were maddening, coming closer.. a dozen, maybe a little more.. spines on their wings, knees and backs..

Reiuji felt a twang of panic escape her.

(Quick~ How full is my energy tank?)

(We're looking at eight.)

(Oh. Cool.)

Reiuji attempts to generate enough swinging momentum to swing close to one of the creatures, before activating her Energy Saber and attacking the closest thing.

With a screech that was a little too close, the first - and most courageous - of the squid-pterodactyls swooped, lunging towards Reiuji. It flew quickly, but Reiuji found it easy enough to sing with the wind wildly to the left, swatting the thing with as much strength as she could muster. A second, agonized screech, and it toppled far below. She felt the energy beam - a green vortex of violent force manifesting around her arm - drain a tiny amount of energy as it cut the thing clean in two.

The beast, halved, hit the ground.

The other creatures, of which there are twelve left, seem to back off a little, weighing Reiuji up.

(7.)

Reiuji reaches out with her new psionics and grabs one of the squidthings. She then swings it at the others.

Reiuji feels the thing tighten in her invisible grasp, and as she flings it towards the next they both explode in a cacophony of bone and blood and screeching. The nine remaining, however, are getting desperate.. they began to swoop Reiuji menacingly..

Reiuji activates her Energy Shield, and attempts to rip of the squidthings's wings with her psychokinesis.

Reiuji felt a stab of pain hit her mind - she was still knew to her psychokinetic abilities, after all, and as she felt her grip slacken on the silver cord she had to resist fainting. A pterodactyl had attempted to tear the flesh from her back, but was repelled by the flickering shield, consistently getting weaker.. another beast was sent plummeting to the ground below, it's wings shredded.

Reiuji now takes a different approach, blasting whatever fire magic she can at the flying beasties.

The closest result that Reiuji could manage to hurling streams of fire at the pterodactyls is - and this is if she really tries - to conjure warm currents of air, no stronger then a light breeze, at them. She simply wasn't prepared.

A flying beast struck the energy shield head on. The shield exploded in a wave of light, breaking the pterodactyls neck and sending it to the ground - but now the shield was gone.

"Screw this." Reiuji says, letting go of the rope and opening a portal to someone else's realm if she can. She really wasn't prepared for a fight like this and had no other way out.

As Reiuji hit the ground below, her bones should have broken, should have shattered into a thousand pieces.

She was fine, however, though her head hurt a little. The psychokinetic bubble-shield had protected her.

Overheard, the pterodactyls circled, like carrion.

If she wished to visit another Realm, now would be the time to do so.

(I need to actually think before I post :X)

"Damn. I really need to pay attention when I try stuff like that." She says, opening a portal to some other realm and walking/crawling/whatever through.

There was a hero removed - the death of a people - the greatest martial arts tournament - a temple with too many steps -

And Reiuji was in the Temple of Pha-Hu.

This Realm is now Dead.
