"You can at least pretend to be happy about going. You know, it's not everyday that someone gets to go to Hifon." Idak told Ziu with a large grin on his face. Even with his anger, he was still able to pleasure in seeing Ziu's nose curl from blood and how much Ziu hated him.
With that last remark, Idak ran the blade of the small knife through the skin of his palm, cutting it deeply so that a small stream of blood was released and traveled down his hand before Idak flipped his hand over and causing the blood to fall on to the Symbol. There was no exact design that the last detail had to be, just an offering of the blood to empower the Symbol, to link the Symbol to Idak to gain power. As the droplets of blood touched the Symbol, a faint black glow started to come from the lines, dots and dashes of the Symbol. Soon, the black glow grew, incasing the three of them in darkness and they soon felt a sensation of falling, air rushing past their bodies until their feet hit solid ground.
When the darkness faded at last, they found themselves in a dimly lit hallway. Torches were put up against the wall, casting a goldenish light about the hallway. Faint black smoke raised into the air from the torches, staining the bricks with a light coat of black, that was emphasize by the goldenish light. The hallway bend in both directions, leading to two different unseen locations.
Symbol had turned black upon arrival, and had start to shrivel up, breaking up, and bubbling as it turned into a tar like substance. A quiet sizzling sound erupted around it as it started to evaporate, producing a horrible smell, a mixture of blood, sweat and rot.
Idak had collapsed on to his knees upon arrive. Using the Symbol had weakened him greatly, enough that he was no longer able to retrain the transformation of the body he possessed. Now, was a thin, shabby looking boy with messy blond hair, identical to Snipe in everyway but for the unkept appearance.
"We're here..." Idak muttered as he gasped for breath. Breathing fast, as if he had just ran a mile, his eyes closed and looking unusually pale in the dim light.

Ziu growled from the smell. It made this body's sensitive nose burn, his tail twitching angrily.
"Now what is it that I'm doing?" He snarled inpatiently. He wanted out of this place as quickly as possible. He didn't care about Idak being weakened. He didn't care much what happened to him.

"You are to make the final symbol, so that this body doesn't end up dying on me." Idak snarled at Ziu, not in his usual tone, also without insulting Ziu at all.
After struggling for a moment to get to his feet, he beckoned Shinjuri over to help and used him to support himself. Anger flashed across Idak’s face, as he hated to rely on someone else to simply stand and walk. He knew that using the Symbol would weaken himself a lot, he had tested it out before hand, but he had not realize how much of a difference it would make using it to get to Hifon.
“Down this way.” Idak pointed down the hallway into to the end which then turns to the right. Still supporting the weaken Idak, Shinjuri started to make his way down there and continue throughout Hifon taking Idak’s directions to lead them far into Hifon.
There was not much change of scenery at first. The light remand dim, fueled by the torches, the walls still goldenish from the torches, still rough stone bricks. However, soon there were slight changes. The light was a bit brighter, and soon there were carvings on the walls here and there before becoming frequent. The carvings were simple drawings, depicting small events, such as hunts or a celebration, being rather similar to drawings found in caves by ancient humans. However, these looked older and more precious and orderly as it someone had been particular on where to place them.
The last change was the widening of the hallway, both in width and height. Slowly the hallway and turned into a room the size of a cathedral. It became circular, with pillars shaped from the walls, decorated with lavish art, with splendid colors. Though the beauty of that was cast into the shadows but two enormous statues in front of them. The statues were connected by an arch that was carved into a dragon which bonded the two Kilate statues.
Between the three statues was nothing, just a sea of blackness. Despite the light brought on by two giant touches held by the statues or the other hundred touches around the circular room. The darkness seemed to swallow up the light and provide nothing else.
A wide grin spread across the weaken face of Idak as they came to view of the three statues guarding the sea of darkness. “This is it. Just one symbol and then we can get out.”
Idak motioned to Ziu to come forward and pointed to the middle of the floor between the two grand statues. "You need to make the symbol there. It's a symbol of my own design but it employs several aspects of other symbols so you should know how to do it if I simply give you the instructions for it. Use your own blood to drawn it." Ordered Idak and once Ziu was ready, he started to give him the instructions on how to do the symbol.

Ziu muttered something under his breath and took out a small knife. He cut into the back of his right hand, not even flinching. Running a finger through the warm blood, he began to followed Idak's instructions, drawing the symbol lefthandedly.
Of course, this wasn't going to be simple....
An invisible force slammed into Ziu, knocking the wind out of him and pushing him aside. He managed to clasp his hand over the wound to prevent blood from splattering everywhere and messing them up.
And aging kilate, already blind in one eye and brown hair specked with shining white strands, stood before them. His good eye, a brilliant green, seemed to stare right into their minds and souls.
"Begone from here agents of the Bishinishimi, leave this place untainted by your symbols," He growled, pointing a long, red pole at them, it's shaft covered in a brilliant design of dragons and foxes. "If you refuse to comply I will make you leave by force."

"It would be best to leave quickly."
The second voice held a much different tone from the first, seeming to come out of no where. It almost seemed to come as a friendly, yet stern warning. "You will go no further on this little escapade."
The kilate stepped out, his hair the color of ash that was weaved into a braid hanging at his back. It had once been a sleek black color, but now it betrayed his age. There was the sound of two feet hitting the ground, then the clack of a wooden staff only waist high that was gripped by a hand that was missing the fourth finger. His right ear held two circular rings and wrinkles marred his skin beneath his gray eyes as he came to a stop behind them, standing in his immaculate royal attire, adorned in brilliant purples, maroons, and yellow-red-orange mixtures.

“This is a sacred place you are intruding on! We will show you no mercy!” An old hag appeared, behind the old men. Her skin was wrinkly and pruned, while her fjdlkas hair was streaked with gray. The hag’s wore a robe with a design of a dragon on it, a twin headed whose whole body went around the cloth. In the hag’s hand was a staff, curved with detailed markings showing obvious wear.
There was nothing funny about the situation, but Idak laughed anyway. First, a grin before his ribs shook as the sound of laughter escaped from him. All three of the guardians had graced them with their presences. Three old Kilates, ready to keel over any moment against a kid, a soulless moron and his weaken self. The odds seemed nearly even.
“We like it here. You fuck off.” Those words were meant to agitate, to piss off and annoy them. Idak was not planning to use their anger or annoyance against them, he just wanted to piss them off; a kind of enjoyment to him.
“Zui, don’t let these old folks get in your way. Continue your work.” That was an order to Zui, and to Shinjuri.
Shinjuri step forth, his hands holding the handles of his blades, ready for attack. Expressionless and empty, he was merely a weapon for Idak to use and was not good for anything else.
Idak’s hands hung at his side, motionless as he used most of his strength to stay standing, hiding the fact that the body was nearly ready to break. Though he was ready to make his offense, which he knew he had to. Shinjuri would not last three against one, old or not those three would make fine use of the symbols.
Their best bet was to finish the symbol and get the fucking hell out of there. The longer they stay, the more deadly and costly it is for them.

Ziu grumbled and went back to work on the symbol. He glanced up now and then, making his already slow progress even slower. Nervousness was too soft a word to describe what he was feeling, but he had to finish the symbol.
The younger Kilate of the three guardians ground his teeth at Idak's comment. "Do you honestly think that you have any power to stand up against us?"
He's right...I don't know what Idak's planning...but there's no way this'll be easy.. Ziu's thoughts were racing as his shaky hand continued to draw the intricate symbol.

Knajee shook his head slightly. They'd been given a fair enough warning. His eyes flickered from Idak, to Shinjuri, then lastly to Ziu. The last would need to be taken care of quickly. The symbol on the floor could not be completed and Knajee wasn't about to let it.
I've got the one with the symbol. He informed his comrades telepathically. He planned to act quickly and trusted his companions to keep a sharp eye on the other two.
His body faded as he teleported, reappearing behind Ziu with his staff raised. It came down the moment he had appeared, aimed at the beings back.
(I dont have any idea what Knajee could do that would be cool or kickass so he's just going to be lame... I dont care...)

Shinjuri teleported as Knajee teleported, predicting his moves flawlessly and with perfect timing. He appeared along side of Knajee when he appeared, one of his swords already drawn and as Knajee's staff went down to meet Ziu's back, Shinjuri's sword went out and blocked it. His eyes, devoid of everything, were focused on the old kilate but his attention was spread out amoung everything. There were still two more enemies needing to be focused on.
Good Shinjuri. A murmur of unspoken and unshared graditude went through Idak's mind as he saw Shinjuri's defense, and hoping it would continue to hold. Just as long as Ziu hurried and the old drag their feet. Fuck that'll ever happen, but still, even with his doubts of success, a smile was still on Idak's face.
"We don't need to stand up to you. Don't ya see? One of us is already kneeling right before you, nearly as you like it. We just need to have the power to stay alive, which is easier than you think." Idak responded with a kind of childish glee, the smile still plastured on his face.
"You're really are an arrogant creature." The hag took a small step forward.
"Spirit, not creature." He shook his finger in a mocking scolding fashion.
Anger was building up inside of her, soon she will make her move against those low, pitiless creatures and she will cast them down to the depth of all hells, for them to either burn or freeze which ever the lord of hell sees fits.
