The mid afternoon sun poked it's way through the leafy branches from atop, and a slight cooling breeze wove it's way through the trees of Carvahall's forest. A lone figure, garbed in a billowing cloak and black leather armor, walked silently, almost ghostly over the leafy forest floor. Umbra's black leather gauntlet gripped his long sword's silver hilt out of habit as he strode, red eyes glowing beneath the confines of the hood. It was quiet, almost enjoyable. Umbra smiled, facial bones glowing eerily beneath his very pale skin. The shade preferred to keep to himself, and the forest near the spine was perfect for that. There was very little chance that anything except the occasional hunter passed through here, and they didn't know what Umbra was, so the shade was safe. Umbra then frowned. He heard footsteps... Some of them massive, big enough to make the ground tremble.

Aurelio rode through the skies on his dragon, Crimson. He was off top find some new recruits for his army. So far none had yet to arrive and meet the Dark Ruler's needs. He watched as Crimson plunged towards the forest floor. He noticed a man walking and looked at him expectantly. Aurelio reached out with his mind to try and touch it. It was haunted with so many souls, he repelled himslef. The dark ruler got done off of Crimson and walked over to the man. "You ther? Are you a Shade," he asked in a dark voice.

Umbra smiled, facial bones glowing an eerie red under his pale skin. "We are called Umbra rider... I'm afraid we don't like to be disturbed either." Umbra rasped. He then looked down at his sword. "Isn't that right Cruor? He doesn't look so tough. A petty follower, a mock representation of The Forsworn, following a mock Galbatronix, fighting against a mock Varden." Umbra then laughed, voice echoing around the forest, stirring the wind. "Yes, we are a shade rider. Whats it to you?"

The Dark Ruler grinned. His white teeth flashing. The blond hair of his was in a pony tail. Aurelio reached up and let it down as it fell into his face. The black and blue moon tattoos glistening as sweat rolled down his face. "What's it to me you ask? How would you like to join my army? I'm sure as a Shade you are an adept fighter. What do you say to my offer. Do not take it lightly," he said, removing his sword from its hilt. He lay it down on Crimson's back.

Umbra raised a red eyebrow in surprise. "Excuse us your majesty. We Didn't expect to actually see the dark ruler himself flying here in The Spine... Seems rather... Odd. As for the offer, I'll have to politely decline. We don't want riders after us twenty-four seven. Although... You seem rather insistant." Umbra replied calmly, red eyes glowing.

Aurelio looked blankly at the Shade. He's declining? No one should decline me. he thought. the ruler wanted nothing more than to rip off this red eyed freaks head. He only needed power in his army and the Shade was refusing him. It's not like The Shade couldn't handle it. He was powerful. If he joined, the shade would be his right hand man. "Might I ask what you are scared of riders for," he murmurred.

"Because you want to kill us, simple answer, and unlike most shades we aren't going to give them reason to even know we exist." Umbra hissed. "Like you, I can feel your anger at my decline.. So..." Umbra drew his sword in the blink of an eye, black blade gleaming in the sunlight, feral grin forming on his lips, "We listen to no one but eachother. You will never contain Umbra."

*"* Xylana *"*
~ Open your eyes and see that life is beautiful ~
Xylana walked through the forest, her black hair fluttered back as a small wind blew. She froze when she saw the two figures in front of her, the dark ruler himself, and she guessed a shade. "Friggin...." She muttered under her breath reaching for her scythe.

The shade frowned when he felt another mental prescense. "Great..." Umbra mumbled disheartily. "Another aproaches. Friend of yours? We shall tear you apart regardless.." Umbra rasped, turning into a shadowy mass as he prepared to slither behind the other.

Aurelio nearly snapped. He tried reigning in his power, but it wouldn't listem. It was nearly about to kill them both. The Dark ruler shook his head. "You decline? And then have the gall to attempt a fight with me? You're an idiot and a fool," he shouted as he grasped Airedhiel adn leaped upon Crimson. This entire time, the red dragon had been silent. Crimson what is wrong with you?
I am worried about this fight! This is the strongest Shade I ahve seen in my existence.
What? Never Mind that! We ahve to kill him! he thought.

Umbra reappeared behind Aurelio, savage grin on the shade's face, black sword back, ready to thrust into the Dark King if no one interfered or if Aurelio managed to dodge or block. "JIERDA!" Umbra shouted maniacally as he thrust the sword, black blade shimmering with magic that would tear through armor like wet tissue paper.

Xylana frowned, "Wait this isn't fair! Your a shade, and you have a dragon! All I have is a stinkin scythe!" She said angrily, This is just great... Xylana watched the two, Well I am en elf and that itself is kind of an advantage but that's only a help for running...

"What a whiny elf! Definately not the composed type like her race is she?.. well regardless... We can't have her interfering, she may get lucky when we are distracted..." Umbra thought for a bit. While preparing to charge Aurelio through, Umbra pointed his hand at Xylana, palm opening. "Thrysta Vinr!"(Comress the elf)" Umbra shouted, air starting to shimmer around Xylana.

Silvera appeared behind Umbra and held a dagger to his throat. "I don't care what you are," she hissed in his ear, "You won't hurt her."
