The fire mage had arrived, so Takara nodded solemnly in her direction, also it seems that the lectricity mages kid sister had arrived as well. "Well, we are all here now it seems. Again I welsome you all to the meeting. As you can see as I was just saying..." She sneaked a quick look at the boy called Shaun, he took her breath away, "The northern borders have been invaded by demons, led by six demon warlords. They are called the Shirkaun, and come fro ma strong demon based family. By invading the northern borders of our world they have broken a kind of barrier and now hundreds if not thousands of demons, evil mages, warlords, and soldiers have been entering our world un-checked and un-tried. On normal occasion it would be my duty to block them, but unfortunately my attempts were invain."
Her face became taught with irritation, she disliked asking for help from anyone, "I need you to help me, all of you..." She paused and looks at all of them, "It will be dangerous and most likely one if not all of us will be injured or die." Her eyes became hot as she pictured them all lying cold and still, "I will do anything and everything in my own personal power to protect all of you though if all goes well you shall be able to protect yourselves." She smiled a tight smile and waited, "I wll now take any questions that you have."

Houka gazed at the girl who had spoken, her own face passive. Death was nothing new to her; she'd witnessed her parents' last few, agonizing moments in this life, and then had stood immobile as she watched her brother's sould being burned out of his body. She could handle another loss, probably, but not if it were her fault. And hearing that dark creatures were now invading the land of perpetual day placed all her senses on the alert; perhaps she had been correct and had done the right thing by leading the shadow creature away from the meeting place. She stepped forward.
"If what you say is so, fellow mage," she began, taking a wild guess at the girl's occupation, "then there is no time to waste. I request that you issue me my orders so I may act immediately. I would like to inform you, though, that I have had no training in the arts of magic, therefore I doubt whether I will be of much help to you all. That will not stop me from offering the best of my skills, though."

Crimson eyes darted to the left, narrowing upon hearing the slightest sound of laughter. It came from a girl with what looked like slate-blue hair and blue eyes; the boy she sat next to displayed the same features, so they were apparently twins.
What is she laughing at? Houka thought, a little put off that the girl had laughed when the mage in charge of the discussion had asked her to showcase her abilities. But the brunette forced herself to focus on the task ahead of her.
"All right, then..." she muttered, taking a few steps away from the table where the other mages were seated, towards a more open space in the room. Once she felt she was at a comfortable distance - where none of the others were in danger of injury from the high intensity of flames she was about to conjure, she fell into a classic battle stance, only this time, both hands were open. She suspected that she was about to make a complete fool of herself, being only 16 and probably one of the youngest of those assembled, but forced that hindering thought to the back of her mind.
With a cry, she swept her back foot - her left - up and out in a high roundhouse. To her surprise, an arc of flames followed the path of the kick. That was...unexpected... Houka thought, even as she moved into the stance for her next few moves. Surprisingly, every punch and kick she threw after that first one also had flame arcs following their lines of motion. Well, this is new...
After a double roundhouse-backfist combo, she stopped, crouched, and exhaled as hard as she could. A torrent of fire erupted from her mouth, soaring upwards then arcing back down towards her. Quickly, the crimson-eyed girl drew her sword - another gift from the mysterious bird that saved her life - and swung it outwards and away from her. Once the fire collided with the weapon, it seemed to become semi-solid and conform itself to the blade's contour. This ability Houka had discovered just a few days ago, the ability to meld fire to her sword and making the already deadly weapon even more formidable. She was loath to use it in combat, but for this occasion...
She straightened up from her semi-crouch, passing a hand over the sword to quell the flames, and then returned the weapon to its rear-mounted sheath. All in one fluid motion. Her face still impassive - though just moments ago it had been strained with the effort of imagined combat - she turned to face the others and bowed, the accepted sign of humility in Itamni.
((I apologize for the really long post; I couldn't help myself. Besides, my character was supposed to show the extent of her abilities, ne? Oh, and yes, I got the 'flame-generating hand-to-hand combat' thing from Avatar... sweatdrop ))

Houka fought back the urge to give a self-satisfied smile. She felt somehow that it wasn't her place, and that her performance wouldn't be the best; she was, after all, still learning to control her abilities and use them to their fullest.
Now, she surveyed the table where the other mages were seated, looking for a vacant seat, aside from the one about to be vacated by the girl who'd just spoken. Moments later, she spotted a chair with what looked like a blossom of fire engraved in the top part of the backrest. Perhaps that was where she was supposed to sit.
Then her eyes narrowed. Unfortunately, it was right beside the slate blue-haired girl who had laughed - not quite so discreetly - earlier. Why'd it have to be next to her? Houka thought wearily. Steeling herself, she pushed that question, along with any misgivings and negative thoughts, to the back of her mind. They were supposed to work together - hence this meeting - to defeat the dark creatures invading their land. And that was fine with Houka. However, she wasn't so keen on getting along with others, wanting to avoid the pain of separation once they were lost to her, but...she might as well try, starting with this girl.
((Again, sorry for the uber long post; I'm just really bored these days, seeing as I have only two classes per day...with a three-hour break in between... xp ))

Houka eased her grip on the chair's sidearms.
That tremor... she thought, glancing at Emerald. This woman controls earth.... She was unaware that she was already grinning, for going through her mind were the possibilities of combination attacks should she be paired - if, indeed, they were to work in pairs - with the elven mage. They were simple enough tactics: one would distract, the other would follow up immediately with an attack. Or they would fuse their attacks, the flames hiding within the earth until the last possible moment to explode in an enemy's face...or within an enemy's body.
Houka shook her head. That last thought was too morbid. Anyway, she felt a little humbled by the Earth mage's demonstration; it had been simple, yes, but the fact that she was able to create that strong a tremor without going through any strenuous motions herself had spoken volumes about her earth-moving abilities.
((snubsnub-san, I couldn't see the pic of your character very well; she is an elf, right? sweatdrop ))
