Private RP between me and Ele.
---
The sun had long ago set behind the mountain ranges of East Okinawa, and a dark blanket clad with silver sparkles had claimed the sky. Far behind the city's lights, one could clearly find a glimpse of stardust far above the peaks of the forest trees. This was where a young woman often spent her nights, trudging through the mud and weeds, holding a saddle-bag looking sack over her shoulder. When she would come to the usual clearing, she would sit down right in the middle, near her usual fire pit, and light a tremendous fire. When all was done, she would take numerous candles and light them in a circle around her, just as she had this night.
Tonight was different though. Earlier that day, the joints of her body froze up, and she saw something inhuman entering her world. Earth. Okinawa was full of budhists and Christianic witch-hunters, and thus, she was the only one who could stop something like this from coming into her plain. Her hopes were to bring something from another world into hers, something bigger. Better. And yet something that could assist her.
This was something only she could do.
She knelt down in the middle of the circle and took in a deep breath, clearing her mind of all thoughts of the human world. Voice just below the softest whisper, she exhaled a conjuring spell, not caring what came through from the other sides.

A boy sat in the park, his eyes looking up at the night sky as stars began to fill it. He gaze further as he looked at the sky, not realizing that his body was slowly disappearing. His eyes looked around to see the stars shining bright, unaware he was now completely gone from where he was before.

Ebony blinked her eyes wide as a figure appeared just feet in front of her. Clearly a male, but... this guy looked like a human. What the hell? Her eyebrows furrowed, and she stomped one of her shoes into the grass, pushing up on her knees to stand with a furious air. This idiot was going to disrupt her chi! And then what was going to happen?! She could end up bringing some super badass demon that would just swallow her up! Or something...
"Hey!" Ebony shouted. "This is private property, you know! Can't you see that I'm a LITTLE bit busy over here?!"

Leo looked at the girl, blinking as he saw her shouting. He walked over to her and then looked down. "Where am I...?" He asked confused.

As the figure drew closer, Ebony caught better glimpse of him. The boy was many inches taller than her... And seemed perfectly normal. All except for the pair of cat ears on his head. She put her hands on her hips and clenched her teeth together.
"Great. I'm stuck out in the Okinawan forest with a cosplaying anime Otaku," she muttered to herself, bringing a hand up to her forehead. Snapping her head up, angrilly, she took many steps towards him, advancing quickly.
"Look, man, I don't know who you're trying to kid with those things, but I need you to get out of here."

"First off I would like to know where here is human." Leo said as he looked around and then looked at the green haired girl. "First I was in the park under the stars and then I'm here in this forest..."

Ebony rolled her eyes and placed herself directly in front of him. She shrugged her shoulders, folding her arms over her chest. "Look, man," she said, quietly, trying to keep her calm. "I'm sitting here trying to be civil, trying to do my thing, trying to cast. I really DON'T need this shit right now. If you'd kindly leave the premisis? You're throwing off my chi, okay?" With that, she placed her hands on his shoulders and spun him around, pushing him forward. "Pretty nice cat ears you got there. Make 'em yourself?"

"Make...?" Leo asked confused as his ears twitched a bit and his eyes looked at her. "Oh I get it... you don't think they're real." He thought out loud as he walked over to Ebony and leaned his head down, taking her hand and making her feel his ears. "See for yourself if they're real or not."

The young man had grabbed her wrist, forcing her to feel the top of his ears. She was skeptical at first. But wait a second... They felt a little bit too real to be plastic. Leather? Nuh uh. Too warm. Velvet? No, too soft. Even for velvet.
Shit... How the hell...?
Then they moved.
Ebony's eyes widened, and she yanked her hand back, screaming.

Leo smiled at her and looked at her screaming. "Yeah, that's what most humans do when they learn I'm not some Otaku, whatever that is." He said with a shrug. "So I'll ask again, where am I...? Did you bring me here?"

Ebony drew back, her eyes wide. She put a hand over her mouth and spun on her heel, turning her back to him.
Oh, my GOD!! Sweet freaking Jesus Christ almighty, I DID IT!! I really DID IT!!
She looked back at the young man, her breath drawn short.
"Wh-What the-- Who the--?!"

"Okay okay, calm down." He said smiling as her. "Just start of with something easy..."

Ebony threw her hands down to the side, trying to make herself look intimidating. In case... this creature, whatever he was, was a hostile.
"Alright. Uhm... Look, here, cat boy. I had a vision the other day of something drastically dangerous coming into this world and causing an apocalypitc chaos. Th-This being the case, I summoned you as a protector of my people, and you will serve out your new duty. Is that perfectly clear?"
There was a lump in her throat. She was terrified.

Leo smiled and walked over to Ebony, towering above her with a happy look on his face. "And why should I serve someone that I just met today..." He asked as he looked down at her. "What do I get for protecting your people and risking my own life in the process...?"

Ebony's eyebrows furrowed.
"You get the satisfaction of not being cast away to the Realm of Darkness." She said, coldly. "I could do it, you know. And you'd fall into black, forever, eventually landing among the many carcasses of the demons who never escaped." She stood up on the toes of her shoes, trying to get in his face, but she was significantly shorter than him. "I don't think you'd want to deal with that for all eternity."

"And how long do you think it would take for me to kill you before that happens?" Leo asked smiling kindly at her, even though he was being perfectly serious. "Do you think you could send me to that place before I took your life?" He then teleported behind her and held a dagger to her throat. "Don't go threatening people that you just take away from their homes, thinking that you can just throw them away if you don't like what you picked from the jar."

Ebony leaned her head back, glaring up at him.
"Yeah. I do believe I could." She said, quietly, reaching into her pocket. "You really want to risk it? I could send you to the Realm of Darkness before my last breath escapes me. Then you'd live with the guilt down there in the pit of eternal black, and not just the hellish pains."

"Why should I feel guilt for killing humans like you that have already tried to kill me...?" He asked as he moved the blade away from her neck and looked down. "You don't care about anyone but your own damn kind, and you'll just use me to get what you want and make sure you are on top." He pulled his dagger away more and let it disappear. "I have a question, what will happen to me if I do help you...?" He asked.

Ebony turned to face him.
"I don't know yet. If you protect us from whatever's coming our way, I'll give you what'er you want. I just know that I can't let this happen, for my own safety. I could care less about those occult bastards out there. But me, I want to enhance my spirituality any way that I can." She said, placing a hand to her collarbone. "That's all there is to it."

"Alright then..." Leo said as he looked down at her. "I'll do this for you, but you will have to grant me my one and only wish..." He whispered.

Ebony nodded. "Alright. Good. Your first duty then is to help me burn all of these candles out." She said. With a quick turn to the side, she knelt down and licked her right index finger and thumb. Quickly, feeling a mild sting, she tapped them together against the wick of the flame, letting it burn out. "Hurry up. We can't blow them out, either. It'll screw with everything."

"Alright..." Leo nodded as he did the same as her and licked his index finger and thumb, putting out the flame in between his fingers not feeling much pain at all.

Ebony grabbed her brown bag and scooped up a few of the candles in her hand, stuffing them into the bag. Most of them were white, for purity. Hence, she had a feeling that this creature couldn't be quite as crude as she'd first interpretted. However, she had made the mistake of not remembering to lay out the candles for power.
God knows if I made the right choice here.
"Well, now that that's done and over with..."
She stood up straight.
"May I have you name?"

"My name..." Leo said tapping his finger to his lip before smiling warmly at her. "Leo Blackhart, but you may call me Leo."

Ebony swung the bag over her shoulder and crossed one arm over her chest, extending the other one to shake his hand.
"Ebony Unfortunyte. You may call me Ebony."
She cocked an eyebrow at him.
