Baron leapt out of her powders way and she stopped using it. Fabia felt bad for Baron. This was obviously something he didnt want. This was no doubt his reason to wanting others away, he realy did want to protect other people. She watched him become more enraged and monsterous. Fabia came to the conclusion he loses his mind and cant control himself when he is like this. Otherwise he wouldnt be as worried nor attack everything once this happens.
Baron went after sturm. She didn't know what she did, she was a combat specialist but generaly for humans only. She didnt think a simple sword would work against something as monsterous. Plus she didn't want to hurt baron. She leapt back and tried to stay away from barons physical reach. Sturm retaliated by using ice magic showing he was skilled as a magician. It wasnt helpful to her as how ice nullifies her powders effect. If the icy wind expands too much she couldnt put him too sleep.
She watched as he kept on with his barrage of attacks."Hey you! Try and freeze his legs together or something! If you freeze the air too much my powder wont put him too sleep. I'll try and use my sleep powder to make him drowzy and fall asleep. That should make him revert to normal hopefully. Just try slowing him down. We dont want to hurt or kill him hes a good person!" she yelled at sturm. She ran towards a nearby tree and used her magic so she could run on it without falling. She ran up the tree where she was 15 feet high. She jumped off. She took in another deep breath and blow the white powder out. She spun her arm and pushed creating a wind current blowing the powder to Baron so that way it wouldnt hit sturm.

(OOC: Orsay has given me permission to use his character. Simply for the sake of the plot... AND it would've been a short post.)
As Fabia jumped up, Baron darted through the blizzard as an unnoticed snowball and ice javelin wizzed by the back of his head. With his incredible speed, he caught Fabia by the ankle, catching her by surprise and stopping her from breathing the powder. He slammed her down into the ground and readied his Spirit Zanbato to slam a stab straight through her abdomen, which may possibly split her in half.
Fabia, wide eyed in terror could do nothing but brace for impact, knowing this was her end... but then something strange happened. A glimpse, a flashback was seen from Baron's past through his eyes. Anyone near would see it, their vision suddenly being taken over by the memory...
10 Years Ago In a Rather Small Settlement...
(YOUTUBE VID! Flashback #1)
After this flashback, the scene changed...
3 Years Ago In a Common Town...
Bloodstains were spattered around the walls of several small houses, inside and out. They were fresh too, so there was still traces of recently spilled blood on the walls. Several shrieks of fear were heard, villagers bodies lay everywhere, dead. Even a few warriors could be seen with severed heads, missing jaws, or even split cleanly from the head to the crotch with several organs spilling out. All this was seen through Baron's eyes, as this was his memory... you can see in front of him at least 3 villagers fleeing from him.
A deep blood red arm with several spikes protruding from the knuckles and on the elbow was raised, holding onto his zanbato as he let lose his Gore Cross... slashing verticly and horizontily, creating 2 lines of bloody strikes that flew forward and cut straight through the 3 that were running away.
Then, with his heightened senses he heard breathing, and even smelled the scent of more fear from a living soul nearby. He turned and found a young lady in a short black skirt and long boots, with a black jacket on. For some reason, she greatly resembled Fabia in all ways except for clothing.
He could feel her fear, and it wasn't just the fear of dieing, it was also the shock of what he had become... and those watching this flashback could tell, that there was a deep connection between her and Baron. As a demon, he still had that killer instinct, to murder all living souls no matter how much he loved them.
Outside this flashback, Baron has developed a little control over his demon side when it comes to his loved ones... but just a little, as his demon side is still overwhelming, and it gets worse each time he transforms.
He knocked the girl down, and slammed the end of his sword downwards, severing her head from her body...
Back to the Present...[/b]
Baron, stopped before the strike was commenced and said, "Lily..." in a deep and coarse voice. Then tears could be seen streaming down the sides of his eyes... and changed back to his human state as he fell sideways unconcious, with the demon arm glowing a deep purple hue then the glow faded away... You could see where the deep red on his shoulder met normal skin... but as the arm was glowing, you'll notice that deep red color coursing through his veins and crept quickly across his chest and then stopped. His curse has spread even more, thanks to his transformation...

Sturm saw the man lunge at the woman and attack. Thinking fast, Sturm pulled out his massive Desert Eagle handgun, and readied a shot. Suddenly, the demon man stopped fighting and, and a memory entered Sturm's mind.
Cautiously, Sturm pulled the band out of his pocket and dispelled the blizzard. "I believe that this was my fault..." Sturm said. He tossed the band at the demon man, still keeping his distance. Sturm holstered his pistol and felt the edge of his sword, making sure that it was still sharp. Satisfied, he sheathed his blade, and approached the now unconscious demon man.

After Fabia jumped up to use her powder spell on Baron seemed to be dodging Sturms attacks. As long as Baron was on the ground her plan seemed to be going into motion. Howeevr he suddenly grabbed her back the ankle which caught off off guard. She found herself being slammed down on the ground and spat out spit and she think she might have seen some blood come out. Her eyes opened wide as she saw Baron holding some weapon about to strike.
Sadly she knew there was nothing she could do. She laid there terrified at what was before her and angry at her uselessness. Right infront of her and before her eyes she knew why he wanted nobody to be insilved with him. He was about to strike which she knew was going to be a death blow. She wanted o close her eyes so she wouldnt see it coming but she couldnt out of fear and watched. He stopped his attack. Something bizzare happened Baron was seeing back into his past at this moment. However she was also seeing this as well. Everything flooded in about events from his past and she saw another woman that oddly had similarities to Fabia herself.
Hw stated the name "Lily". Fabia saw tears coming down his cheeks then he began to change back to his normal form. He then fell down and by the look of it he wasnt awake. She felt sad for this Lily and for Baron, but she felt glad that whoever this Lily was perhaps stopped his mind and recovered him for now. This Lily must have been improtant to him. Sturm had stopped his spells and threw the brace back at Baron, but he wasnt awake. Instead she grabbed the brace and crawled up to Barons side.
She put the brace back on his arm where she saw it was located earlier. She laid out her legs and laid Baron on his back. She placed his head on her lap. She wiped him off of any dirt and checked for any wounds. Her fingers ran down the demon arm. It was strange but she was careful to avoid the brace. Placing her arms around him embracing him hoping his might make him feel better she looked at Sturm."Perhaps next time you should ask before touching things? Sadly Im unsure what to do next." She stared back at Baron and he looked as if he was gently sleeping now. Turning back to Sturm with a thought."Since this was your fault how about leading us out of these woods? We dont know our way out of here. Its the least you can do but its fair dont you agree?" She said then turned her gaze back to Baron.

Sturm smiled. "Ah, Fabia, I'm not really all that sure if I want you leaving these woods... you see, an old friend of mine, a man by the name of Jericho Lighter has taken an interest in you. And so, as a matter of course, I have as well. So, I took a calculated risk and removed the band, hoping he'd kill you. But alas, he did not. So, I must debate wether or not I wish to put my blade through your skull or not. So, we are going to have a little chat. Your answers will determine wether you live or die."
Sturm sat down and crossed his legs. He drew his sword, and put it in his lap.
"So tell me. Why would the leader of the most powerful assassin's guild take an interest in you?"

As Fabia stared at Baron the other man said her name. Her eyes opened wide as her head turned to him. He knew her name, but how? Then he later explained things such as he has taken in interest in her. He did his research as a part of this. But he didn't do a good job."I like to think of myself as a bounty hunter. However I wanted to improve myself. I went to the order of the silver star and nocked on their door." by that she meant in a metaphorical way not in physical terms. She did go to the silver star however and asked if she could be apart of it. "Thats why. Does that answer you on how a bounty hunter is associated with asassins?" She said truthfully. It was really weird because assassinations and bounty hunting have their similarities and differneces. She could only hope he believes her since it is the truth. She locked back down to baron and stroked his face hoping the gentle touch would wake him.

Sturm snickered. "You think you found the Order? The Order found you, Fabia Margo Lafrist, five feet nine inches tall, one hundred and thirty three pounds. You think that I am a fool? I haven't done any research on you- I already have your file. The Order keeps records off all people of interest to them. I managed to steal copies of Lighter's notes the last time I was there. And you were right at the top of his list. You didn't tell me why he would like you so much. Mind you, I have your file, so no lies and no tricks. Lies get you killed."
Sturm lifted Cool Fire up, and looked down the blade. "Still razor sharp. Like a tooth."

Baron slowly opened his eyelids to find Fabia's worried face looking down on him. Her touch did indeed soothe him, but he was rather irritated regardless. He quickly but gently pushed Fabia's hand off his face... it certainly brought back old memories of Lily, but thats another reason he shouldn't stick around. He would get close, but only to find his new friends dead at his hand... again.
He quickly sat up and put his hand to his head... what a headache he woke up to. Struggling to get on his feet, he only fell forward on one of his knees, so he quickly gave in to the exhaustion from his transformation. He turned to face Sturm and Fabia, lining the three warriors up in the shape of a triangle.
"You should've killed me while I was out..." Baron stated. "Would've rid you guys of quite a large problem."
Then Sturm said something curious as well as troubling...
"You..." He said with exhaustion in his voice, directing it at Sturm. "Make another threat... I DARE you. Your lucky I'm letting you off after the mistake you made."
Baron scowled at Sturm as he said this.

Yet again he said more personal things about herself. She was right however he did do research. Its impressive on how precise the order is however. Impressive but creepy at the same time. However she didn;t know the answer as to why they knew so mucha bout her and their great interest in her."I dont know. She said. She tried to think of everything of possible interest in her."Are there years missing in my file? You should be aware that I became a runaway. Perhaps the order wants to know where Ive been and gained my powers over the years if I dissappeared from their eyes. If not then thats all I can think of. I dont know why the orders interested in me." she contiued staring at Baron.
She really didn't know why. She stared at Barons face never once lifting her gaze from it. She never knew why she was intrigued with him. Perhaps because he was an outcast. She wasnt an oucast but people who left their homes for good without much choice. She can always can always relate to those people. "Other then the fact that Im a combat specialist trying to join it, they might have uses for me even though typicaly they dont have combat specialists." she said just blunty after it came to her. She was just throwing out a random hypothesis.
She watched as Baron opened his eyes slowing. It was like watching an egg hatch with the anticipation of getting to see the baby. Instead the anticpation was him waking. He brushed her hand away and sat up. He tried to get up but fell on his knees. It would seem he had no energy to stand. He said they should've killed them."I cant kill you. You dont deserve to die for something you dont intend. I only kill criminals and those with unpure minds. If you were a bad character I would gladly kill you with a smile, but I cant knowing your a person of good character." she said staring at him then darting her eyes to the ground. He was angry at Sturm."Dont over exert youself. Your in bad enough condition as is." she said. His words were empty to her she knew he couldnt do much to Sturm now. If she felt that way so would he.

"Easy now demon man.... watch out for that woman. She really isn't all that good a person. She's actually rather nasty herself. She killed a few good friends of mine in the past...."
Sturm stood up and wiped his blade with his sleeve. Ice crystals formed on the cloth as the frigid blade passed over.
"I am thinking about giving her mercy. Or about leaving her. Or gutting her, and strangling you with her intestines, because you are a threat, and she is a monster. More so than you."
Sturm breathed in deeply, and blew out a puff of cold air. "Actually Demon, I rather like you. Her.... I'm not so sure." Sturm felt the edge of his blade, and felt his cold blood run down his finger. "Perfect weapon..."

"I don't like killing the innocent... or even killing at all. I only do so if its necessary, or..." Baron took a look at his arm, letting them know the obvious without words. He looked back up to Sturm. "Were your friends mindless killers? I heard the lady here state she only preys on the predators."

"My friends were not mindless killers.... they were artists of night... shadowmen, lords of darkness... they moved like the shadows themselves...."
Sturm stiffened his jaw. "Only one is left. He made me promise to hunt this thing down." Sturm pointed his sword at the woman. "I have it.... but should I kill it? She did kill them when they tried to bring a message of peace..."

Fabia just listened to the two. Its funny how things switched to her plus Sturm said he didn't trust her. Which maks it a bit more funny since she didnt trust him since the moment he showed up. Her initial feelings from earlier weer right at least. Stur said she has killed a few of his friends. "I only go after criminals as I've told you before. Im unsure which of the people I've gone after were your friends. However your so called shadowmen of friends had bounties. Assassiins must be careful too because they can be targeted as well." she said then ended with a small sigh.
She placed her hands n the ground and used them to help her get off from the ground. "Also a message of peace is never something people can trust. People tend to lie when they knew theyre about to punished for their bad deeds." She said scofffing with a small amount of red powder flying out. She didn't want to hear a persons opinion on what she does. She believes what she does is the right thing.

Baron could feel a heated arguement coming on, and he knew it wouldn't end well.
"How 'bout we forget about any trouble we have talked about up til now. We don't need to be butting heads... and I don't feel like babysitting anyone. ESPECIALLY those who are my age or older... would seem a bit sad." Baron said assertively. "As for the lady killing off your friends, I'm gonna have to say innocent until proven--gah!"
Then his demon arm started reacting to his previous transformation. It glowed its deep purple hue, and his eyes rolled back into his head. It spread from his shoulder, painfully through his veins and other passages as large clumps, and across his chest... spreading his curse even more. The pain was unbearable. He was in agony.

Sturm summoned another small blizzard to dispel the woman's powder. "Fabia, Fabia, Fabia.... always for the kill, huh? You and your dastardly powders. Lighter has been trying to get his hands on those for a while now, you know?" Sturm chuckled, and walked up to the demon man. He examined the changing skin, and asked if there was anything he could do to help. He shot a threatening look at Fabia, and opened his jacket showing the large number of throwing knives, along with his handgun.
