It was pouring down gallons of rain. Dark clouds were occasionally lit up with lighting. Thunder boomed are roared drowning out all other noise like the rain drowned anyone foolish enough to be out in a storm like this. Rhine was not one of those fools. She was in a cave, perfectly dry having been able to see the storm forming long before it began. There was a fire crackling and over it a rabbit that would serve as dinner. Rhine herself just stood at the entrance of the cave, less than an inch between her and the torrents of water flowing down from the sky. It was almost like she was behind a waterfall as the water collected further up the mountain flowed down over the entrance. Rhine stared at the water, looking at her reflection. She saw herself as her targets and employers must she her, absolutely empty. There was no trace of emotion, pain, or anything else. The look she saw in her blood-red eyes was colder than the mountain rain falling around her. Slowly the waters turned red and thick, like blood. Body parts flowed down. One was the head of a boy with golden hair like hers, green eyes, and golden fox ears. He stared at her with a blaming stare. Rhine held up her hands to cover her face, shielding her from the accusing stare, and saw they were covered in blood. Rhine jerked up from her bedroll and looked around. She was in the cave, and outside it was raining very hard. The rain reminded her of something, but what? Why had she woken up so suddenly? Had she been dreaming? Yes, she had, but what about? Her eyes stung and felt dry so she moved her hand up to rub them and felt some thing wet. She had been crying, why? She had nothing to cry about, she felt nothing at all. So why had she been crying?

Nihilion trudged through the rain his wings creating a tiny icy mist around him. He could barely see because his glasses were covered in rain, his hair and clothes were soaked and his would be girlfriend was chattering incessantly behind him. Whining some sort of grievance or other. Flaze had commanded him to find them a shelter from the rain and somehow, the rain, cold, and pounding pattering made her thousands of times more annoying than ever. "Flaze... Flaze.... Porphyria! Please Shut up! You're making my eyes hurt!" The male pixie covered his ears with his hands.

Rhine heard something other than the rain outside, approaching quickly. Whoever they were they might not even see the cave, it was raining that hard. Still Rhine made sure she was ready for whatever could come through that entrance. She made sure those tears, which she still couldn't understand why she had, left no trace on her face. They were weakness and she must let no weakness taint her. She waited, prepared for anything.

"Find me shelter and I will shut up!" Flaze shot back at him as she started to rub her arms. The pixie shouted angrily, "I hate the rain! The only good it does is feed crops water and let them grow so I can burn them! That's all!" Her whole body was stinging, since the rain was hitting her at every second. She looked up at the sky, and shook her fist at it. "CURSE YOUR SOUL IF YOU HAVE ONE!" Flaze was so angry she decided to throw fireballs up into the air while yelling, "DIE DIE DIE!"

"Wait! Hey wait! I see a cave!" He turned to flaze and saw that she was still rocketing fire into the air. "Stop! You lunatic! you're throwing fireballs at rainclouds! Crazy bat! Come on!" He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the cave muttering irritably along the way. "Stupid crazy pixie girl..."

The voices were coming closer, there seemed to be two of them. And they had spotted the cave. Should she kill them? Why not. Still why should she. There was no point to her killing them, yet, so she would stray her hand and deny Exha more souls, for now. Still she would be on alert, one wrong move and they would breathe their last.

"NO IT MUST DIIIIIIIEEEE-" Flaze paused. "Wait did you say cave? SHELTER! Oh you're so smart!" She quickly clung to his arm rubbing her face into his shoulder. "This battle isn't over yet rain! I will defeat you one day!" Flaze once more shook her fist at the sky.

"It's a cloud you clod!" If Nihilion had been thinking he would have scoured the cave with a blast of ice. Being tired and cold and wet and hungry, Nylus decided to just barrel in. "Flaze, please get a fire... oh...." He had just caught site of the imposing figure a few feet away from him. She was marked as a member of the Cheshen by her garb. This was bad. "Flaze... hi... just get your stuff and lets keep looking, this place is occupied. We're terribly sorry for barging in We'll just... leave... sloooowly."

Rhine said nothing as the two Faye stumbled in. Faye, she thought with disqust, always being pesky and annoying. If these two tried any kind of trick on her they would not live to regret it. Still the boy at least had the sense to leave her be. Still Rhine knew they would not find another shelter easily. Something stirred in her and before she understood what was going on the words were out of her mouth. "Stay, you can use my fire and have some food." Rhine could not believe what she had said. To make sure they didn't get too confident she added, "Bother me and you won't be able to leave that cave in your physical bodies."

Flaze immediately let go of Nylus' arm and sat down by the fire. She put her hands over it and let out a happy sigh. "Oh wonderful wamrth so opposite from the stinging rain which falls from outside! How I love thee so." The Pixie closed her eyes and her head swayed from side to side slowly.

"There isn't a catch? You expect me to believe a Cheshen, a cold hearted killer, would so openly allow us to rest here? Forgive me for having a hard time believing that. But your work demands secrecy. I'm suprised you didn't kill us silently in the rain" Nylus was ready for anything and had already begun to summon a small bit of magic. He didn't want to die here like this. He didn't want Flaze to die here like this.

"Cast that spell your preparing and you will be dead. Let's say I pity two pathetic pixes reduced to throwing fireballs into the sky because they can't find away out of the rain. The entertainment is worth a meal and safe passage. Besides if you told anyone you saw a Cheshen and she let you live and have her dinner who would believe you? And right now I'm not working, if I killed everyone I met I would be more content but also poorer and not have a chance to remain sharp." It was a long speech, more words strung together than Rhine usually used in a month. "The rabbit's ready if your hungry."

"I'm a vegetarian. I don't believe in killing others for food." The pixie sat down but released his spell. He waved his hand in the air and summoned a piece of bread, sat down, and started eating. "Something seems... wrong about you Cheshen. I can sense age in you that I would never have expected. And a disconnection with life." The mark of the Void glowed red on Nihilion's forehead for a moment and then went back to it's normal black color. "You don't have the spirit of a killer either. At least you didn't a long time ago."

Rhine looked at the pixie with a look that could kill. "You know nothing about me so still that tongue before I take from your mouth."

"Oh I'd like some!" Flaze answered looking at the rabbit hungrily. "She looked towards the entrance of the cave and sighed seeing the rain. "Well atleast when you're gone there will be plants for me to burn so I can see the fires."
