Sleven stretched lightly, jerking abruptly into a more upright position as his own horse sped up in an attempt to keep up with the female before him. He mumbled something to himself, easily noting that her staff had appeared, he glanced over his shoulder, wondering how near they were. Hell. He wondered what exactly they were. So many things had tried to get him, so many had tried to do him it, sometimes it was hard not to be paranoid, hard not to wonder what lurked in the shadows around the corner.

Suddenly the ground started to shake, making Nanostino's horse freak out. She pulled on the reins to try to calm it down and keep it balanced. Suddenly the ground started to spilt open. Nanostino quickly jumped off her horse, the horse ran pass Sleven. Seeping out of the crack was a mysterious black smoke. It started to take shape. It was a hidious monster. "That my friend is a Hallow" she said. She got into a defensive position.

Sleven easily spread his wings and removed himself from the horse's back, allowing it to chase the other, as it had been doign since the start. Landing easily on both feet, he watch the monster form before them, tucking a hand into the pocket on the inside of his 'jacket,' he came out with the small golden rod. Tapping it lightly, it expanded in the familiar flash of blinding white light. It expanted into the usual golden pole which we know so very well. He also knew it well, seemingly fairly well trained when it came to fighting with it.

The hallow roared and bared it's teeth at them. It growled and stomped the ground. It seemed angry...or really hungry. It opened it's mouth wide and it spat out what seemed to be poisonus sludge. Nanostino held out her staff, ice shot up as formed a giant wall, blocking the sludge. The sludge started to melt the ice though. "I'd avoid the sludge if I were you" she said. The wind picked up and suddenly Nanostino's staff shot a icebeam at the hallow, freezing it's arm.

"Yes, I've realized that that seems to be a good idea..." Sleven pointed out, watching the ice melt, he twirled the golden pole some between his hands, eyes dancing as if he were calculating this monster. What to do. How to do it. He had never seen one of these creatures before, however. He wasn't sure where it came from, or even what it was made of.

The hallow continued to roar and growl and stomp around. It was pretty angry now. It shot more sludge at the two. Nanostino dodged. "Alright Sleven...there's a stone in the back of the hallows head" she explained, "if you can shatter the stone then the hallow will hopefully disappear...do you think you can get it?" Nanostino tiwlred her staff, ice shards flying towards the hallow. She managed to get it's eyes, hopefulling bliding it for a couple minutes.

"I do believe so." Sleven gave his head a nod, he bent his knews some to get a better start as he pushed up into the air, spreading his wings and holding the golden rod in both hands, much like one would a sword. A circled the beast, looking for the stone no doubt, and staying in one place just wasn't a smart thing to do at such a time. He didn't want to get spit on by this beast, nor did he want to be crushed or grabbed by it. Sometimes, he wondered why he had become an angel, why did he not just stay dead? Save himself the trouble and dispair of the 'life' of an Arch Angel.

The hallow shook it's head. It roared and growled. Nanostino looked up at Sleven. "Well hurry up and find it" she yelled. The hallow swung it's arm straight for Sleven. Nanostino held out her staff and an icebeam shot out at the hallows' arm, freezing it. Thank god she reacted in time. It then shot sludge at Nanostino. She quickly made a barrier of ice to protect herself. The ice started to melt.

Sleven dove down to avoid the frozen arm, bringing the golden staff hard agaisnt the stone in the back of the creature's head, flapping himself backwards in case that didn't do the job. His hands now stung, however, as the rod was vibrating like crazy from hitting the rock. A pain grew in his elbows which traveled through his shoulders and down his back. Ah yes. He still felt pain as an angel. You would think God would give him a break, but no, it had somethign to do with 'continuing to understand the human race.' Sheesh.

The hallow growled and quickly disappeared. The stone remained, floating there. It then shattered into pieces, falling to the ground. Nanostino caught the shards. She smiled and placed them near her staff. The shards then turned into liquid and combined with the staff. The staff then disappeared. She smiled. "Thanks" she said as she stared at Sleven. He seemed to be in a bit of pain.

Sleven's hands shook, though he said nothing of it. It was merely the feed back from the attack. In time, he would recover, and grow steady once more. "No problem." He commented after clearing his throat, watching as the stone was more or less absorbed by the staff. He, of course, was rather curious towards this, though asked no questions. Ever bone in his body felt as though it were shaking to him, that his brain was bouncing loosely around in his skull, while his organs fought his rib cage. Sleven, however, knew better. Sighing to pass it all of, he forced a smile, tapped the rod off his foot, and watched it shrink.

Nanostino watched him. "Since you look like you're pretty shaken up you're going to ride with me the rest of the way there" she said, "I couldn't trust you with a horse in your condition" She clapped her hands and suddenly a single horse ran back towards them. It was the one from before. The other one was following quickly behind it. Then the two merged together to create a two headed horse. She smiled slightly.

Sleven rose a brow, "I'm perfectly fine, thank you." He commented, spreading his wings once more, "I can follow you in the sky, I prefer it that way, actually. I have never overly enjoyed riding horses." Yes, Sleven was doing a bit of rambling, but he had his little episodes, as does every other person. All though, he didn't really count as a person anymore. he was an arch angel. He was supposed to be above all of this, though he wasn't. A sigh escaped his throat as he rubbed his temples, shaking his head some while uttering something.

Nanostino shrugged and jumped onto the two headed horse. "Suit yourself" she said, "but it will take us three days to get there no matter what we do" She then made a clicking noise and the two headed horse dashed off. The wind ran through her hair, it felt nice. It was going to be dark in a matter of hours and if they were going to rest then she had a spot already waiting for them. It was a 'check point' as some would call it.

"THREE DAYS?!!?!??!" Sleven half shouted after her, watching Nanistino ride off, he groaned softly, and took to the air once more, flapping his wings hard to catch up with her, which didn't take much. However, several angelic feathers fell from his wings, drifting to the ground below, which he noted, and knew a person whom would likely enjoy having more of his feathers. Mm yes, Sleven knew all kinds. Sighing, he snorted some as the wind blew his hair so that it was even messier then it had been before. Scary...
