Shelurath was growing impatiant, either Shalura came to face her fate or she'd force it upon her. She kicked a loose skull aside in frustrtion snarling slightly.
"Aragant, little, good for nothing," she muttered to herself "why me, why me!"
In her anger she drew her staff and smashed a pile of bones on the ground.
"You heard me!" She yelled at thin air "now tell me! I know you can hear me!"
Whatever she was expecting it didn't happen, she kicked another skull hard breaking it into 5 seperate pieces that scattered across the floor.

"I've had enough of this," she growled "I'm not doing this anymore."
She strode off through the fog slotting her staff into the loops on her back. She glared about at anything that she could see, she was angry enough to kill the first person she saw regardless of who it was.

((Little short but it should get better))

Zenith Meria had come to Dori'ba, the Land of the Dead to make sure there was no trouble in the making. As a Keeper of the Sacred Deed the young angel also had the duty of protecting all those in trouble within the world. He was wearing his full set of Resplendent Armour with the cloak flowing down from his back. Under his cloak Zenith had Resplendent Tower Shield, and under that lay his Resplendent Countering Longsword. Strapped to the angels right leg was a shadow dagger, while on his left left was a dagger made from the tooth of Ita the Goddess of Chaos. These were all powerfull weapons but it was the two weapons within the hands of Zenith that beings of evil had to worry about.

Held tight within his hands was Zeniths Holy Blade, Salvation, and his Blade of Blance, Judgement. Both of these blades had served Zenith well in battle for a long time, and ever since his training from Lothlómendil the Goddess of Life as a Divine Protector and from Avénnian the Gaurdian of Holiness, ever since these days the young angels weapons and armour all had a rune within them so that is anyone of the evil side was to even touch the weapons or armour they would feel pain.

On top of this Zenith had master his training from the Goddess of Life and had in turn also mastered a great deal of spell. His Plasma Dragon Telsor had come along with the angel to the Land of the Dead today so that Zenith did not have to fly the way here. It was not long however until the angel could feel evil coming coser to him. In the distance Zenith heard a female voice saying "I've had enough of this, I'm not doing this anymore." Hearing this voice the young Arch Angel kept his grip on his blades, then seeing the shape of someone forming ahead of him Zenith used his Teleport spell.

He appeared behind the woman, looking at her movements for a small moment before saying to her, "You. I can feel great evil within you. Why are you here... If you plan of making Chaos within Arda, then I have no choice but to battle you and make sure your path of destruction ends here. As both a Divine Protector and a Keeper of the Sacred Deed it is my duty to rid the world of Evil." The main reason Zenith could tell this woman was evil was because he had learn and mastered the Detect Evil spell. It was now time to await the reply of this woman, but at the same time keep his gaurd up incase she was to attack, also Telsor was still up ahead and would be able to help out in battle with a simple call. Shelurath was going to have her work cut out for her facing one of the most holy and powerfull mortals within Arda.

Shelurath did not walk far when she heard a noise overhead, she looked up stopping in her tracks. For a moment nothing happened then a figure appeared before her, she looked straight at him; he was an angel, no doubt about it and a highly skilled one at that, he held two swords in his hand that looked very expensive. Shelurath took this all in and looked up at the angel as he spoke.
"You. I can feel great evil within you. Why are you here... If you plan of making Chaos within Arda, then I have no choice but to battle you and make sure your path of destruction ends here. As both a Divine Protector and a Keeper of the Sacred Deed it is my duty to rid the world of Evil."
Shelurath's eyes narrowed slightly, this angel was here to try and kill her, hardly angel like in her opinion.
"I..." She began then stopped.
Why shouldn't I she thought to herself why can't Rhiaku do his own dirty work, I'll decide what I do for myself
"Fair enough, angel," she said "but it depends on which one is which doesn't it gninommus roirraw krowretsam!!"
She glowed with a red light that seemed to float off her, then another one of her appeared beside her just as strong as the origonal. They both drew their staff and span them in a mirrored movement.
"Take your pick," Shelurath snarled.

Zenith seen the woman make a copy of herself. This was a very skilled abilty and Zenith was happy he was able to face someone that had learned to master it for once. With his grip becoming tighter on his blades the young angel said "Be there one of you, or fifty of you, I will not stop until the evil within this world is gone. You shall not be leaving here alive on this day woman. I, Zenith Meria, shall be the stop of chaos." After saying this a strange aura began to show around Zenith, this showing his Holy powers and his oath to always battle to help protect the Holiness and life of Arda.

Zenith then looked from one of the women to the other, now knowing which was which. This battle would indead be a test for the young Keeper, but as long as he had the Goddess of Life and the Gaurdian of Holiness on his side then Zenith had nothing to fear, he would battle until his last breath but then again, Zenith did not see himseld being killed on this day.

It was then that a small smirk came across the lips of Zenith from under his helm. Now was the time to use some of his spells. Zeniths blades began to glow with a strange blue glow as his Bless Weapon took effect upon his Blade of Balance and Holy Blade. After this Zenith softly muttered something under his breath casting another spell. This spell more deadly that Bless Weapon, the spell he had just cast was Blade Sentinel. With this cast four strange blades appeared in the air and started to spin at great speeds before two blades went flying for each of the women infront of Zenith.

As these blades headed towards them Zenith also ran towards the figure on the right aiming a strike towards her chest with his Holy Blade and a strike to the womans upper neck with his Blade of Balance, the battle had now began and Zenith was not taking it lightly.

Shadow had been traveling Arda in search of a battle he was getting really bored with everything. As he was flying he saw that a battle was happening right below him and noticed that Zenith was the one battleing. Shadow began to dive down and got a good look a the figure, he then saw as she multiplied herself by one. "I know her. She was in the Mountains when I was ambushed by orcs and then Raku showed up and then an all out blood bath began." Shadow went faster and and landed on the ground. As he landed he kicked up a bunch of dust. Shadow then pulled out his sword and cast flame blade on it and charged through the dust at one of the copies he saw from the air. As he charged he spoke "Hey Zenith need some help." Shadow was right behind him and was ready to clash with one of the Shelurath's as he had an angry look in his eyes. "You, Shelurath, you tried to harm me and my friends when we were in the mountains, time for payback."

"Be there one of you, or fifty of you, I will not stop until the evil within this world is gone. You shall not be leaving here alive on this day woman. I, Zenith Meria, shall be the stop of chaos." Zenith said.
"Oh, quit the noble talk," Shelurath said "and just get on with it."
Zenith's blades suddenly began to glow blue and glow, then several blade sentinals flew from nowhere heading for Shelurath.
"Hgaerts s'llub,"

She span her staff fast infront of her knocking the sentinals aside. She jumped back incase they came again. She looked over at her clone and saw Zenith aim both blades at it.
"And he calls me evil," she muttered "this is hardly fair."
The clone opened a pair of black dragon wings and leapt over Zenith spinning her staff and aiming to strike the back of his neck.

"Hey Zenith need some help."
"Now what?"
Shelurath turned about to see another figure running in her direction.
"Man nobody seems to give me a break in this stupid world," she snarled "or any others."
"You, Shelurath, you tried to harm me and my friends when we were in the mountains, time for payback."

"Oh get a life," Shelurath retorted.
She leapt into the air over Shadow leaping off his back and spreading her own dragon wings.
"Mrots liah!" She said.
Several ice chunks began to cascade from the sky like torpedoes heading for Shadow.

Shadow stumbled a bit and then turned around. He then watched as Shelurath said her spel and saw ice chunks fall from the sky. "Not so fast Shelurath!" Shadow put out his left hand and spoke. "Rechite!" The ice chunks began to fly in the other direction torwards Shelurath. "You can't get away from me!" Shadow unfolded his wings and flew up into the air. "Ready or not here I come!" Shadow held up his sword and then cast flame blade on it. "You are going to pay for your destructiveness." Shadow charged in even with the ice chunks falling in Shelurath's direction and began to weave his way through to get to her.

As the clone jumped over Zenith and began to fly, just like the orignal, a small smirk spread across the lips of Zenith. Both being had fallen for his trick by flying. Now it was just the case of casting his spell. He didnt have to worry about the ice that was falling since shadow had taken care of that. With this in mind Zenith said out to both version of Shelurath "Now lets see you dodge this. GRAVITY COME FORTH!!" With this said Zenith had cast his Improved Gravity spell towards only the two versions of Shelurath, if the spell took effect then they would both be smashed down onto the ground from thier airborn placing.

After casting this Zenith tightened his grip on his blade, that still had the bless weapon spell in effect, and charged once more. He sight now on the real Shelurath that Shadow was also after, since the other one was only a clone killing it would just waste more energy when if the real Shelurath was defeated then the clone would simply vanish from the battle, as of now it only served as a distraction of battle.

Drawing ever closer Zenith looked up to see if him spell had taken effect, if it had he was ready on the ground to catch her off gaurd. Then it came to him. Why wait for her to fall when he could speed the thing up a little. With this said yet another spell was cast, this time Zenith used his Chain Binding spell, when used the ground below Zenith rumbled for a second before many large chains shot out from the ground headed for Shelurath in the aim to drag her down onto the ground below with great force. After casting this Zenith stood waiting for the outcome, his right hand glowing a bright white as he charged his next spell. A powerfull spell at that.

"Not so fast Shelurath! Rechite!"
The ice chinks began flying back at Shelurath, she batted them away effortlessely with her increased streangh.
"Ready or not here I come You are going to pay for your destructiveness."
"Oh can it won't you," Shelurath yelled at him "I never amde any destruction, I only wanted to kill one person and you just can't let that be can you, well I'll kill everyone and see if that makes you happy shall I!"

In all her outbursts she hadn't paid attention to Zenith.
"Now lets see you dodge this. GRAVITY COME FORTH!!"
"Oh hell," Shelurath though.
She heard a loud thud as her clone hit the ground, it was as strong as her so she'd evidentally be affected by the spell.
"You son of a..."
She felt her wings sieze up suddenly and she slammed into the ground hard and felt something snap.
"Great, I can never get a break can I,"

Then she felt the ground begin to rumble, she stood up waiting for whatever was going to happen to happen, when it did several chains flew from the ground grabbing Shelurath and holding her down. She looked up at Zenith, she considered transforming into her true dragon form and tearing him apart, but he probably had something planned for that too, in any case she didn't have anywhere to go.
"Fine then," she said "just kill me and get it over with."
She then glanced over at Shadow
"But not by you," she said "I'd at least like to go down against someone powerful and respected."
That would be the only honour I ever had she though.

Looking down at Shelurath who was now chained on the ground Zenith said to her, "For all the evil you have caused on this world, Your sins will have to paid. I, Zenith Meria, Shall be the one to cast the judgement upon you. It is now time for you to learn your Retribution." After saying this the entire body of Zenith began to glow bright white, he was still looking down onto Shelurath as he did the final charge of his most powerfull spell yet. The spell known as Retribution.

This spell punishes the target for their misdeeds with a searing lash that can cleave flesh from bone. The more evil the target, the greater the damage done. Each lash stings with powerful holy magic. It was a very nice spell to use against the most evil people within Arda, and by the feeling of this woman Zenith thought she would have done some extreme evil in her life, things she had to now be punished for.

If this attack was to actualy go through, then it would in turn either cause Shelurath some major damage, and maybe even destroy her. Zenith always felt bad when he killed someone, but still evil had to be taken away from the world of Arda and if they would not be converted then Zenith would have to defeat them, no matter how much pain it caused the young Keeper to do so. And with that he waited to see the effects of the spell. His eyes glimmering from under his helm as he tried to keep things steady.

This is it Shelurath thought I'm going to die
Everything around Shelurath suddenly went cold and dakr, she looked up to see the demon form of Rhiaku floating before her, she was hallucinating at a time like this?
"You've failed me!" Rhiaku said.
"Why don't you just do your own dirty work for a change?" Shelurath replied "I never asked to be created, or enslaved. I'd rather die!"
"Then you will," Rhiaku said.
Shelurath suddenly felt painful slashed cross her body filled with holy magic, it stung like nothing else she'd ever felt before, she was dead by the time it had finished.

((What a way to go))

Zenith looked down as Shelurath died. A small tear trickling down his cheek under his helm as the angel softly said "Fairwell. I hope you are now able to find your light. Your death was one that could have been saved if you would have embraced the light within you darkened heart." Zenith then let out a small sigh and sat down on the ground, the chains on Shelurath slowly fading away.

The angel placed his weapons back in there holsters before once more getting to his feet. This was another hard day for Zenith, with another life that could have been saved, instead being slain because of the darkness in their torn hearts. But the life of a Keeper was never an easy life.

Shadow watched in awe as Zenith finshed Shelurath. "No this is not right, I wanted to finish this fight. I deserved to kill her. I had to make her pay for her trying to hurt my friends and for hurting the white dragon that showed up in the mountains." Shadow kneeled to the ground and began to punch it. "It is not fair." gritting his teeth. "No matter, I can take my anger out on some other evil...like Raku's lacky soldier orcs." Shadow sheathed his sword to his side. "Congratulations Zenith, it was good to fight alongside of you for a second time." Shadow closed his eyes and envisioned himself in Alutana Falls and said. "Teleport." Shadow vanished from sight.
