Adara smirked. "You'll have to teach me that trick." She set two soldiers on fire and soon the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

Aisen laughed. “Be kind enough to let me show you one more trick of mine” His mask’s blue stripes turned to yellow. He held his sword up pointing at the remaining guards of this group. “This will be kind of…shocking” he said before slashing the blade down, releasing a high voltage of electricity at the guards. Their bodies fell to the ground one by one as he released another pulse, this time to a high degree…their bodies are now smoking.

(And… I left again. Dang, I'm a horrible person.)

Adara stared for a moment. "That was awesome!" She said. She snapped her fingers and burning figures appeared. They started to chase after the guards and envelop them in their mouths.

Aisen stared at the figures with a really surprised face. “What the heck are those…?” He asked confusingly, yet he was interested in them.

"I just did!" Elm responded, dragging Aza into the Tree. But inside, it wasn't a tree. It was the inside of a small cottage-type house. A slender woman was stirring something in a pot, on a stove and a tall, thin man was reading a paper, sitting on a couch. There was a fire going in the fireplace and overall, the cottage was warm and smelled like cookies. It would have been pleasant if the woman hadn't piped up.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the disappointment of a son." She rolled her eyes and didn't even turn to look at Elm and Aza.

Adara sent him a sidelong glance. "Fire figures. Awesome, aren't they?"

"Mother, can you please not be rude in front of our guest?' Since Elm's mom hadn't turned around, she hadn't noticed Aza. She whipped around faster than a lightening bolt and rushed over to Aza. "Forgive me, darling, I didn't know my idiot son finally did something right!My name's Margerie, but you can call me Marge. You're such a pretty thing! I absolutely love your hair. Oh and can I offer you some tea-" Elm cut in quickly. "Yes, we'd like tea, or if you have anything stronger, that would be great mother." Once again frowning at her "disappointment of a son," Marge walked back to the cupboard and selected cups to make tea in.
"Uh, sorry, she's a little overbearing…" Elm said to Aza apologetically.

(Okay, that is just beautiful.)

Adara pulled her mask off and gave a quick twist as more soldiers came pouring out of the forest. Her black clothes morphed into living tongues of flame and her eyes glowed. Her hair rose over her head, and her fists were on fire. She held a flaming sword. She started to cut them down, one by one.

(Wow, didn’t expect you guys to be on this early.)

Aisen did something similar to Adara. He ripped off his mask, revealing his sinister grin. As he turned to the soldiers, his eyes glow changed color to being pitch black and pure white. The longsword he held turned to a pair of dual swords with hues similar to his eyes. “Hey Ada, keep some of their bodies partial intact for me, alright?” He requested as he sliced some of the soldiers’ throats within seconds, leaving their bodies as undamaged as possible.

Adara mock sighed. "Fine." She stabbed one through the chest and slit another's throat. She poked another one in the eye and he screamed as his eyes melted.
(I'm sorry, I had to.)
Adara smirked. "Well, I did warn you."

(Savage much lol)

Aisen was too focused in the group of soldiers that were in front of him. An enchanted arrow hit him by his shoulder. He turned back at the direction where the arrow was fired from, turning his black blade into a revolver. He aimed at the archer but stopped…he seemed to be in shock.

(Me? Savage? Never.)

Adara turned to tell something to Aisen and stopped. He was frozen with an arrow stuck in his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" She called to him, stabbing a soldier that crept up too close behind her.

Aisen heard Adara but he still ran towards the archer that fired at him. Aisen did catch up to the archer, but the archer parried Aisen’s blade and kicked his gun away from his reach. The archer pinned Aisen down to the ground with a navy colored gun. “Hey there…” the archer said to Aisen.

Adara rolled her eyes. "It's always me, isn't it?" She snapped her fingers and a large dragon made entirely of flames charged at the archer.

“Oh fun…” the archer’s gun turned into a crossbow and fired at the flames. Surprisingly, the flames stopped as the arrow touched it. They then both disappear. “Heh, thought you told me your partner was a little bit stronger than that…brother…”

Adara's jaw dropped, then she screamed with rage. Her entire body burned with white-hot flames and she walked slowly over, glaring daggers at the archer.

Aisen slowly stood up as the archer took back his gun. “Stop doing that every time, will ya?!” He yelled at the archer. The archer then took off his hood to reveal a fox mask almost identical to Aisen’s, though the stripes are inverted to that of Aisen’s. He then took off the mask, his face was pale white similar to Aisen.

“Well sorry, it’s fun though seeing your shocked face every time I hop between dimensions” he giggled as reached for something in his pocket, it was a pair of glasses which he then wore. “Oh and sorry for the slight insult miss…by the way, I’m Carlsen Faltur, this geek’s younger brother”

Adara glared at him, flames still white hot, though they slowly started to fade to just her fists, which she kept clenched. Her eyes still glowed, and if looks could kill, the figure in front of her would be six feet under. "Wow, I keep meeting such charming people," she said through gritted teeth.

Carlsen leaned towards Aisen, whispering “I don’t think she likes me very much.” They both stood up and sighed a little before Aisen fired his revolver through Carlsen’s head, making a hole through his head. “That was pay back for the arrow…” he said as he ripped the arrow out of his shoulder.

Adara rolled her eyes. "He's just as bad as the fucking faerie," she told Aisen, not bothering to look in the direction of his brother. "You two are very alike."

The hole that the bullet made through Carlsen’s head was recovered by a black substance that came out of his body. “Is that complimenting me? Or insulting him?” Carlsen jokingly said, knowing she would get even angrier. “Either way…” he opened up a blue portal “…I’ll head back home now, my mission’s already completed. See ya later Aisy~~” he walked through the portal back to the phantom realm, closing it on the way.

Adara rolled her eyes and the fire vanished. Her eyes went back to their normal glowing ember color, and she grinned. "I love pretending to be mad. People take me seriously." She plopped down onto the grass and grinned at Aisen. "I like your brother."

Out of nowhere, a blue portal appeared behind Adara. Carlsen’s head appeared through the portal “Did someone say something about me?” Aisen pushed his head back through the portal as it closes “Just go home already, leave me alone for at least in this dimension…”

Adara, without looking, sent a wave of fire at the face of the brother. She yawned and stretched, laying down on the grass. It was almost nightfall, but she was tired, and white fire always took up her strength.

A faint scream can be heard through the soon fully closed portal “AGHHHH!!! MY FACEEEE!!!!!”. “You tired?” Aisen asked Adara. “If you wanna sleep now, you technically could. I’ll look out for the guards like last time…”

Adara glanced over at him, a smile barely visible on her face. "Well, last time you let me sleep, and I didn't get to fight, then we met asshole and elf. So, if I sleep, wake me up this time if anything happens."

“Sounds fair to me” he replied with a smile. The blade and the revolver he held disintegrated. Before Adara fell asleep, Aisen reached his hand through a blue portal, similar to Carlsen’s, and got two pieces of bread. He offered Adara one of them.

"Thanks," she said, excepting it and eating it quickly. "Are you two twin?"

“You could say that but we’re actually 5 years apart. Yet our personalities are ridiculously similar.” He answered as he chewed on the bread.
