a jackle, a mortal and a god

[legacy]

From directly in front of the docks a bright flash of light apperared in the sky, and it looked like it formed the shape of a jackle's head for a moment before it altered coarse comming right at one of the wharfs. The ball of light struck the wharf with a thunderous crashing and as it fadded a young man stepped out. he looked like he was in his mid twenties, hair dirty and mated and clothing torn, he wore all black except a red ahnk on his shirt, and a long black trenchcoat with only one sleeve. The man looked up with one red and one green eye. He spoke in a hoarse whisper as if he haddent spoken in months...
"edgewater city."

[legacy]

"Where is everyone?"
Anubis scanned the docks looking for any movement, not seeing any he lifted from the ground and floated well above the docks searching for any signs of the citisens of edgewater city.

D-Man saw the flash of light as he was flying around the city on gusts of wind and flew over slowly to investigate. He landed on a nearby warehouse and watched the man appear out of the explosion.

"Well...you don't see that everyday..."

He stood and watched further, wondering if he should bother with the man, but kept a keen eye on him regardless. He channeled the air around the man and towards him, a method of evesdropping he enjoyed.

"...water city." he heard, before the man lifted himself in the air.

"Where is everyone?"

Hmm...seems pretty harmless...

Once again he took flight into the air and approached the man slowly, an invisible shield of wind enveloped around him should the man prove to be...unfriendly.

"Yo?"

D-Seventeen was out and about for a little peace and quiet. Compared to her home, at least... one of her neighbours was in the middle of hosting a very loud party and she'd felt compelled to get away from the area. During her aimless wanderings she spotted, quite by accident, something very bright heading for the docks. She paused to watch it and was close enough to hear the thunderous crashing of impact, wincing as she thought of the property damage that sound could mean.

She ditheres for a few minutes, undecided about what to do. The impact would probably mean action of some sort, given the usual way of things in this city, but she was out for a little peace. In the end she decides to go and look, merely to indulge her curiosity, and for the same reason she doesn't summon her wings from home. After making her way to the impact site she begins to look around with interest. Something had clearly landed here, but it also seemed to have gone walkabout since then as the area looked deserted. Interesting.

Her eyes change to a pale green as she continues her landbound survey of the immediate area, looking for any signs of the new arrival and trying to get a measure on what had been damaged. Unfortunately D-Seventeen was operating on the assumption that someone or something had crash landed here, so she doesn't think to look upwards. As she looks around she murmurs softly to herself.

"I wonder what really happened here..."

As D-Man waited for a response from the strange and tattered man before him he noticed someone else approaching the scene, and looking around. Amused, he pointed his finger downwards, before slowly clenching his finger into his fist and raising his hand.

The person could be another with powers, or not, didn't matter to him, he was bored and didn't want to leave the girl wandering about all night, regardless. These streets weren't exactly the safest for younger women...

On the ground infront of D-Seventeen, a rock formation would be raised out of the ground, a giant finger pointing in the direction of the floating duo.

[legacy]

Anubis saw the flying man aproach him and smiled, a city full of others like him... well other people with powers at least, then noted the girl who has also appeared on the docks. He looked at the man before him and said, "Are you friend or foe to the reborn god of death, anubis?" as he said this he alowed a small ball of hellfire form in his hand. So far on his adventures all of the other super powered people he'd encountered had feared him and attacked him on sight, and there had been many. Unseen in the darkness a Anubis shed a single tear as he hoped that he had finally found a place where he would not be feared, but could begin a normal existance.

[Aiyon]

D-Seventeen froze as she saw the rock in front of her distort. Her eyes faintly glowing in the darkness, now a yellowish colour, observe the rock warily. This was obviously an unusual occurance she was witnessing, since as far as she knew rock could not move by itself. She even took a hesitant step back as it grew, seriously considering withdrawing to a safer distance. When nothing else unusual happened the took a closer look at the forming shape, and noticed a familiar shape at the top.
And it clicked... it was a finger. A finger pointing somewhere? Her eyes raise skyward, following the direction indicated, and she blinks in mild suprise as she makes out the pair floating not so far above her. That they had powers of some sort was not in doubt, though the question of what was going on here was still unresolved. She rests a hand on her hip, laughing at herself inside for such an obvious oversight as not looking upwards.

She became a bit more cautious when she saw one of the figures call up some kind of fire, and quickly send an activation alert to her wings, which she directs to move to within a few blocks. Just in case.

D-Man strengthened the wind shield around him, the man's fireball would not be able to get within a foot of him without being dispersed. He cast a glance at the woman below and hoped that with the man's...actions, she would get the idea and get out.

"Don't know anything about any god of death." he replied scatching his head. "But my allegiance to him would depend if he was smart or stupid I suppose. If he came here to help, sure, I'd welcome him with open arms. This city is bad enough though without another wannabe villian though. So, who's this Anubiwhatshisface?"

[legacy]

Anubis winced as the man slaughtered his name. "I am this anubiswhatsisface." He noticed the wind swirling around the man and let the hellfire flicker out. "and you are?"

[Halima]

"The names D-Man, friends just call me D." he replied politely, lowering his shield a bit but keeping it up in preparation, he was not about to let himself be suckered by the man before him.

"And...why do you call yourself the reborn god of death? I sure as hell wouldn't go around calling yourself that, your liable to get hurt."

[legacy]

"Why should i be anything other than what i am, D?" Anubis asked, with a hint of pained mocking in his voice. He dropped down onto the docks and looked at the woman. "Is this your servant?" he asked D, while looking over the woman, "a fine female, how much did you pay for her?"

[Halima]

D-Man frowned.

"Because you aren't a god, and surely not the one of death." he replied snidely.

He looked down at the woman and noticed she was looking up at him. Damn her! Why didn't she run when this guy started looking like he was going to chuck fireballs. Clearly Anubis was crazy, and he just may try and hurt her for the hell of it.

"Why?"

[Aiyon]

While this was going on D-Seventeen had realised another oversight on her part. During the slight releif she had felt when the fire above disappeared she remembered that she had dulled her hearing while trying to cope with the party earlier. She restored her hearing to its normal levels, though it turned out it wasn't necessarry. The man who had been playing with fire a moment ago landed near her, her eyes turning to follow as he moved.

Unfortunately she didn't think much of the way he started talking of her. While she might in some ways be a thing she was also a person, and deeply resented such implications. Even if he had sort of complimented her appearance. Her irises, glowing softly in the darkness, rapidly shift from yellow to blood red as she regards the man with narrowed eyes. Before she can say something cutting, however, a voice from above reminds her of the other man. She shifts her gaze to him for a few moments before focusing again on the would-be godling that had insulted her. The distraction meant that she spoke fairly politely instead of heatedly, though.

"He payed nothing for me, because i am not his servant. I am not anybody's servant. I am my own master, as that is the way i prefer things to be. You are clearly not from around here... i'm assuming you are the one that crashed into the docks?"

Anubis' eyes widened in shock for a moment as the girl spoke, but quickly regained his calm, almost cold composure. To D. he said, "No, your right, but wouldn't it be so much easier if i was... than i could get all of these memories to make sence." he held his head for a second, then feeling he needed to give further explanation he steped back onto the wharf about ten feet and raised one hand above himself. For about three seconds nothing happened, then a translucent man started to rise out of the water, and like a puff of smoke the spirit flowed into anubis' open palm. He couldn't help but smile as he felt the strength of the last one enter him, truely this was a place of heroes amung men.
"I am no longer the god of death, i am reborn as a mortal in this time though i know not why... it seems a very cold place and this body is so weak." his resolve shakened again and this timehis eyes darted back to the woman... a memory of another woman haunting him though he didn't know who, a woman who defide her role in gender, became a queen, and challenged an empire. a woman he had loved. a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead as he stood there confused, not being able to remember much of his past life, and only glimpses of this one he helf suddenly very lost. suddenly his face twisted into a snarl as he faught to cover his weakness two fireballs erupted in his hands and he yelled,
"truely i am the god of death, and you would do well to fear me mortal!"

[Aiyon]

This violent outburst did get a response from D-Seventeen, though it was certainly not the reaction he had demanded. Rather than being fearful, she had a suprised expression on her face... for a fraction of a second. Then with unusual speed she ran off along the sea front, getting about 100m of distance between them in a matter of seconds. There she stopped and turned back, watching the aggressor warily. She also refrained from pointing out what was obvious to her, that he was as mortal as she. D-Seventeen raised her voice slightly to carry across the distance now between them.

"You are... reborn, you say? So were you were from egypt before you came here?"

A quick memory check had placed the name Anubis as an egyptian death god, but had supplied little detail. It wasn't something she'd had much interest before. Then again, she also didn't really beleive in reincarnation.
