"How do we know that he will go through with it?"
"He will, The Seers have Foreseen it."
"What?! The Seers have not Foreseen anything to do with love since the death of-"
"Do not speak her name! The Blood Emperor had Tabooed it!"
"Apologies, master."
"You are forgiven. And your shock is not ungrounded. You are right. The Seers haven't forseen anything like this since her death."
"Master..." A new voice hissed.
"Yes, Nukpana?" asked the Master in his calm voice.
A sexless figure crept out of the shadows, reminiscent of a snake revealing itself to it's prey. "Our...hero, has come across a artifact of interest... the key to the Tomb of Eztli."
Master seemed shocked.
"What?!" the other figure shouted.
Nukpana ignored it's companion's shock. "The Spirit Fighter, and her angel seem to have gained companions. The girl, she is called the Avenger, her true name is not known, but I believe it to be Xandra Nyx. She travels with Adela of the Grey Wing Angel Clan and two others, males.
"Master Ichtaca!" the servant shouted, for he knew what this meant. "Valdis will..."
Ichtaca silenced his servant. "Valdis will not know of this."
Nukpana frowned. "And of the Angels?"
"No one will know of the children's names! Understand, Nukpana, Abelire?"
"And of Shiva?" Nukpana asked.
"I do not fully trust Shiva." Ichtaca said firmly.
"What is our next move, sire?" Abelire asked, sitting back down in his chair.
"We will wait for Chamuel to make his move."

Eight Months Before:
Texas, USA
2:34 PM
I-45, 20 miles south of Dallas.
"Come on, Xandy! Sing along!" cried her younger brother.
"No, thanks though." His sister, sitting in the back seat of the van replied. She returned her attention to her book.
The boy shrugged and sang along to the radio with his mother, father, younger sister, and older brother.
"I’m living in the days ahead
I’m already dancing on the streets of gold
Can’t stop celebrating in my soul
I’m living in the days ahead
Nothing on earth could ever compare
Can’t wait for the day when I get there
When I see Jesus face to face
Tell me what could be better
Tell me what could be betteeeeeeerrrrrrr?" Xandra's family sang, and the teen tapped her foot along with the music. She shook her head, her father and mother sang comically out of tune.
Xandra placed her headphones in and pressed her iPod's play button.
It happened so fast. The screeching of brakes. The sickening crunch of metal. Her mother's scream. Xandra's mind wouldn't work. She felt like she was floating away from her body. She could see her mother's minivan, one side crumpled like a paper bag, it was moving sideways across the interstate. But nothing was there to push it. Suddenly, something left her. She didn't know how to describe it, but something was gone.
Xandra screamed as pain ripped up her thigh and into her stomach.
Then, there was darkness.

Two Months Later:
Medical City Hospital ICU
Dallas
She was alive.
Alive? She thought.
Alive. A voice inside her confirmed.
How strange. She thought.
Indeed. The voice concurred.
Pain hit her, and she gasped.
"You're awake! Oh my, I should tell Dr. Reads!"
30 Minutes later:
"You were in a coma, Ms. Nethers."
"No kidding." Xandra snapped as she tried to stand. She clutched at her stomach as another wave of pain hit her. A nurse tried to push her back onto the bed, but Xandra batted her hand away.
Calm down. The voice said.
"Ah, yes." Reads cleared his throat. "I'm afraid, that you were the only survivor of the atta-accident."
Did you hear that? The voice asked. He almost called it an attack. Xandra wasn't listening.
The only survivor?
Now she knew what had left her, her family had left her...
Here.
In this cruel, hateful world. Now she was in pain. She was aching. She was bleeding. She was empty.
No, it wasn't their fault. Voice! She cried mentally. What is my purpose?I do not know.
She shook. Xandra dimly acknowledged Reads and the nurse saying something else, then leaving. Xandra cried out. But she was silent. She screamed and raved. But she was still silent.
Why am I still here!? WHY AM I NOT DEAD?! She shouted at the voice.
All it would say was: I do not know. I do not know.

Six months later:
Humble, Texas
19011 Sandia Pines
3:57 PM

Xandra sighed as she opened the bottle of pills. There was always pain.
She wasn't addicted to the pills. No, it's just that she hurt. Her leg was broken and she was nearly gutted like a fish in the accident.
Attack. The voice corrected.
Xandra didn't argue. She'd given up arguing with the voice a long time ago.
She gazed at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were harder, her skin was pale. Pale like Death.
There was a knock at the door.
Xandra limped to the entry way, and answered the door.
An angel stood there.
"Xandra Nyx." The angel greeted. "I am Adela the Grey Wing Angel Clan. You are a Spirit Fighter.


Elsewhere:
In Dimension Corneiraad
Chamuel was going to make things right.
He shuddered as he remembered his brother's broken body.
Brother of mine. You were taken so soon. But I will bring you back. Chamuel thought.
He looked down at the twisted, pitted surface of the gold key.
Eztli. The Great Sorcerer who'd figured out the way into death without dying. Chamuel knew that Eztil would have his famous library in his tomb somewhere. There would be the Necromacer's secret.
Chamuel wanted to bring his twin brother back. He wanted to bring the Dead to Life, not the cheap imitation of life that Necromacers replicated in order to make hordes of undead.
No, Chamuel wanted to bring back his brother as he was before he died. He wanted his brother to breathe, he wanted his brother's heart to truely beat, he wanted his brother alive...

The Blood Dance is an RP about a youth searching to restore his brother's soul, a dying organization struggling to free the dimension of Cornieraad from an evil tyrant, and the coalition of creatures banning against this tyrant.


Characters Needed:
Spirit Fighters, Pale Riders, or Death Reapers are people from the Earth Dimension who lost everything and came inches away from death. They are always pale, because of their close call with death. Spirit Fighters help keep the balance between Life and Death by getting rid of Necromancers, the undead, harmful spirits, and the like. They are also ageless.
Nikki's Note: Spirit Fighters are based off of Soul Reapers (or as Adela explains; the other way around), so they do fight with changing enchanted swords and spirit energy.
Xandra Nyx: Nikki Jekyll
Leader: This Character is very fatherly, but tough. He manages to keep the Blood Emperor at bay, making the tyrant think that the Death Reapers are loyal to the Emperor.
Xandra's Trainer: This Spirit Fighter has been a Spirit Fighter since he was small, and looks to be about Xandra's age. Xandra eventually develops a crush on him later.
Lieutenants: The Commander's Seconds in Command

Rules:

4) No God Modding/power playing/auto hits/ whatever else.
5) I don't mind romance, but don't do it badly. Nobody really falls in wuv at first sight.
6) Use quotation marks when your character is speaking (Ex: "Blah Blah Blah." She said)
7) Show that you are speaking out of character (Ex: (()), {}, [], OOC: etc.)
