Trickster had entered a new section of the world again. Grinning brightly she danced lightly over the land. She was in her human form, a simple blue dress clinging to her body, allowing her all the freedom that she needed to move. She was deeply excited for what would be out here, eager to see who she could trick, who she could befriend.

A dim light appeared in the center of the city high atop a building over looking the city. The light slowly moved towards the edge and it slowly to form of a handsome guy with long blond hair and white robes and on his hands he had silver Gauntlets that shone with the light of the moon hanging above. He moved to the buildings edge and looked down over the city as he spoke lightly as if talking to the city it's self." You have so much evil within you, yet all you need is a light to guide the way, and to push aside the darkness. I have come to lend a healing hand upon you all."
Arreal looked down and a single tear left his eye and hit the ground near where he stood. Slowly he turned and walked away and white beautiful wings appeared on his back and he jumped from the roof and went below to see what humans he could helped. As he left the area a small light could be seen on the roof where his tear had fallen and there was a clean spot on the rubble and a beautiful white flower that grew in it's place.

What was this? She turned down an alley, crouching down. Trickster studied the flower curiously. Pure white, the area cleaned of all the normal filth. She knew this, she did. She just had to figure out how she knew about such a strange thing. Reaching forward she touched the flower, releasing a small light from it. "Of course."
Smiling she stood up again. It looked like Arreal was in the city. That was a very stubborn angel, always working to heal everything. He had turned entire wars to the side. Of course, there was the small problem of him being in the city she was in. That meant that he was going to be working on clearing everything up, making everyone peaceful and utterly boring.
That wouldn't do. Shifting into the coyote she reached up, scratching behind one ear. Her form was perfectly normal, just another ragged coyote running through the streets. Lifting her head she sniffed the air, trying to find that elusive scent of holiness. Grinning she trotted off after it. There was no way she was going to let him ruin her game.

Arreal moved slowly through the city. His wings had faded and all those humans that he passed that were moving quickly to get back to there homes had actually felt better at just seeing him and they knew somehow that they would be safe. His steps echoed out to the city around him and demons had appeared to see what human was dumb enough to hang around after dark. Arreal spoke gently as he looked to a pair of demons and he frowned lightly. " Sad creatures, you even though you were born of hate and evil, still have the ability to chose your own path and life a life of good. I ask you now, will you not turn your back on the evil that has spawned you and become creatures of good?"
The demons said nothing as they moved in for the kill. Arreal reached to his side where there was nothing and he spoke lightly as he lowered his head. " Then I shall return you to the darkness wince you came." Light covered Arreal and it flashed and in an instant beautiful white and gold Armor appeared as well as his wings and a sword appeared in his hand and he made one slash and the demons were gone and the Armor and sword faded with the light and he stood once again, without any armor or weapon or wings. He nodded and said a prayer and continued on his way.

The coyote made quick movements, traversing easily through the city. No one took any notice of the coyote, just seeing one more scavenger making it's home in the filthy urban sprawl. Tracking where Arreal was was far too easy for Trickster. All she had to do was follow the trail of happy glowing humans. Night descended down, and demons began to crawl out. Her tail wagged brightly, though they as well ignored her. Too bad. It looked like she'd have to force them to pay attention to her.
For now though, she had a larger problem to deal with. Light flashed through the area, Trickster blinking as it temporarily blinding her. Walking through she sighed, watching the demons that had been stupid enough to hang around drop dead. Tail curled around her feet she looked up to the angel. "This is what you do with your time? I can think of things far more interesting."

Izin Kritnas stalked through the streets of Red Blood, humming an aimless tune. He passed a pair of demons, ignoring them as they did him; had they known what he was, they would have fled in terror from him. As it was, Izin preferred to be inconspicuous--much better for eavesdropping and slipping through the city relatively unseen.
A blinding flash of light came from behind, causing many to shield their eyes. Izin glanced back, eyebrow raised as he considered the angel saying a prayer, apparently having banished or completely eradicated the two demons. His eyebrow lifted even further as a coyote started talking to the angel. A shapeshifter, though Izin couldn't discern what kind yet; he had his suspicions.
Wrapped in a cloak of shadow that rendered him invisible to the senses, Izin walked closer to the angel and shifter, interested in what could occur.

Arreal kept looking forward as he spoke gently. while not moving a muscle in his body." Ah...so you are the one that has been sneaking around. Up to mischief again are you...Trickster?" Arreal looked over his shoulder and then he slowly turned as he looked to the small coyote. He took a step forward and bowed a little and nodded his head and then he stood straight again as he continued. " For you to be here, you must be planning on causing problems...This place is ruled by evil and the city is slowly dieing and the humans here, are slowly losing there lives and humans are becoming the next endangered species." His eyes glowed gold for a second as he took on a more serious look. " Why are you here?"

Trickster grinned broadly, her tail whipping around. There were demons circling the pair, though none dared to get too close after the last set was slaughtered. "So you do remember me. Thought everyone up there had forgotten about poor ol' Trickster, leaving me down here for the past hundred years." The angel stepped closer, a polite bow given to the former deity. It seemed that her status had not been forgotten, if it was currently stripped of her. Who knew how long that would last.
Boredom entered her eyes as she was informed that the humans were dying off. She didn't really care about that. If they were gone Trickster would simply find a new species to fiddle with. As entertaining as humans were, there were other species just as intelligent that promised her fun. "Fun, of course. And to get rid of a minor problem." Trickster glanced off to the side, pretending to be over viewing the city. "This is my new playground after all."

" Trickster....all you cause is mayhem where ever you go. Or did you forget why you were stripped of your title and banished in the first place?" He watched her eyes look to the city and then he spoke a little more stern now. " The care of this City has been placed onto me and Amira is the one who has been chosen by fate to guard it as well. I Alone cannot cleanse this place and neither can she. I cannot allow you to move around freely and cause mayhem. As I an not without honor or mercy I ask you now. Stop with your plans and leave this city...surely there are other places you can make your playground. Either listen to my words or if not then I will have to take action, and you know what I am capable of." He stood tall and straight and mode no effort to move, his all seeing eyes merely watched her and he waited for an action or a reply.

Immediate offense appeared on Trickster's countenance. "Mayhem? I don't just cause mayhem! I'm a truly benevolent person you know!" She didn't react to the mention of her banishment at all, having quickly gotten over it once she'd discovered how much fun being on the earth actually was. Hearing that there were guardians placed over this city, prepared to battle to try and cleanse it, a huge grin spread on her face.
Her tail wagged lazily, Trickster attempting not to laugh at the angel's threat. "I'm sure you're terrifying Arreal, but your magic only works against the impure. I'm not one of those. I believe I'll stay. It's quite an agreeable place, isn't it?" This last part was addressed to the one that she had sensed, resting on the edge. She couldn't see it, but she knew something was there, someone she'd rapidly pull to her side if she could.

Indeed. A voice said in Trickster's mind, sounding dark but intrigued. I don't believe we've met. Ah... Trickster could feel the presence sift through her memories briefly. Trickster. I've heard quite a lot about you. By the way, don't reveal my presence to Arreal, please. I don't think he would take well to someone of my abilities lurking near.
Izin stepped to the side, making sure there was enough room in case the angel sensed him and rashly attacked him.

Arreal looked to her and then slowly light covered his skin and as it did it faded and Armor and a sword and helmet and a beautiful shield where in place of the beautiful light. He lowered his head lightly and then dashed out thrusting with his sword and it looked like the blow was aimed at Tricksters head but he was not. The blades side was right next to her cheek and the sound of a dieing demon was heard behind her. He pulled the sword back and then looked to Trickster as he was heard from behind the Angelic helmet. " My divine powers and weapons may not harm you but the ones used by the evil creatures around us surly can. He turned his back to her and slashed again making another demon burst into light and then nothing as it seemed a horde of demons had surrounded them. He moved his sword in front of Trickster as a demon moved for her and the sword acted as a barrier to keep it back and then he swung the sword and sent the demon into a near by wall. He was protecting her, she was right,she was not evil and because of it, his code and mission involved protecting her as well. As he swung his sword and dispatched one demon after another he spoke while he back was turned. " I know you are there....Izin...You should know me better than that..." He said as his eyes flashed from behind the helmet in a golden flash and a couple demon in front of him flew back and burst into flames

Trickster laughed as she felt the presence root around her mind. So it was a male, someone just as amused as she was. Feeling him begin to rifle around her memories she stilled. That was rude, taking a peek in her mind and not allowing her one into his in return. The memories she needed to keep safe, mostly the details on what heaven was like, her abilities, and glazing the details of where she had been was done. She had no problem with him viewing what she had done, as long as he didn't try to pry too far.
Trickster nodded her head briefly, missing the ability to communicate with others silently. Just one of many things she had lost in her fall. She watched light surround him, knowing that he was preparing to battle the creatures that had surrounded them. This was going to work out well. As long as she kept quiet and pulled her consciousness within herself she was just a normal coyote, something to ignore. She could slip away quite easily with that.
Of course, that would mean missing out on watching the demons get killed. Instead the coyote simply shifted into her human form. Lightly she took a leap, swinging herself up to a perch where she could watch what was happening below. Bare feet swung with pleasure, laughing as the angel fought. "Look out behind you! Ooh, that one's got a lovely set of teeth. Is that a tentacle coming from his stomach?"

A wave of dark energy radiated out from a spot beside the angel, spreading across the entire street. Each demon it touched withered and fell, crumbling to dust. Looking around to make sure they weren't about to be attacked, Izin released the illusion, allowing himself to come into full view.
"You've got to give me credit, Arreal." Izin said to the angel, one hand resting on his khopesh. "It's been a long time since we've last met." He lightly sprang up next to Trickster, grinning mischievously at the fallen god. "I'm Izin Kritnas, by the way." He stuck out a hand for Trickster to shake.

Arreal looked around and watched all the demons wither and die. He looked over his shoulder and there was a slight sound of metal hitting metal as he looked towards the two. He faced them and sheathed his sword and as he did Light covered him again and then he flashed for a second and the armor and weapons and shield were all but a memory. All that remained was his boots white robes silver gauntlets and his silver eyes. " It has been a long time....very long..." Arreal walked closer as he looked to Izen and then as it started to look like he might attack he sent his hand out and lightly patted him on the shoulder as he lowered his hand and then looked to the both of them. " Should have guessed that all this "fun" would bring you out of hiding Izen, you always were one to get involved with all manner of things, that or watch from the side lines." Arreal placed his hands behind his back and them them there as he nodded politely.
