A deceptively normal day begins in the small town of timber. Perhaps the only inclination, of the events as yet to unfold was the slight shimmer in the air. A shimmer that, denying all scientific probability, and quite a few laws of physics, was slowly moving among the streets. at times seeming to coalesce at times seeming to split as it moved through the early morning still of the town.
As the sun climbs slowly toward's its peak it seams as though nothing interesting was going to happen. but as the clock struck the hour all the shimmers seemed to rush to a point atop the tallest antenna on top of the broadcast station.
Soon it formed a vaguely man shaped figure who himself seemed to think that the laws of time and space did not apply to him as he stood with ease on a piece of metal that by all rights should not hold his weight.
He seems to be a tall man wearing bright plate mail with a black cloak behind him that flutters gently in the breeze. Perhaps the strangest thing was that no one below seemed to notice him. Though of course considering the human nature to, quite firmly deny that the scientifically imposable does not exist, then a tall heavily armored man stood atop a TV antenna just cant be true.
The man smiles softly as he looks down on the town, he had watched these humans for millions of years and their absolute reluctance to only see what they wanted to see still amazed him.

The man switches his gaze to the horizon and the black clouds only just visible.
If only they knew of the storm that brews on this world...
He looks up at the sky.
"Sometimes i wonder if it would be better to forget...forget that all to soon these people are snuffed out, and yet there are still those that wish to snuff them out sooner..."
He sighs deeply and tenses his legs, pushing off the antenna he lands softly in an alley way. He slowly starts to stand and as he does his armor starts to fade to be replaced with a long coat, pure white, and jeans and high neck sweatshirt in black.
He steps out onto the street and begins walking to the train station lost in a memory of long ago...

If you're trying to blend in, you're not doing a very good job of it.
::Just behind Falion, in the alleyway he had just left is a pale girl who can't be older than fourteen with night black hair and startlingly large blue eyes. She's dressed in a simple blue long sleeve turtle-neck blouse, and a short black skirt. Her legs are clad in dark tights and a pair of black high-tops that don't really match the rest of her outfit. Her shoulder length hair is pulled back in a ponytail, and in her hair is a silvery clip with a moon and sun. Falion can't seem to tell if it's catching the sun on itself, or if it glows with its own light::
So how is it that you got up there anyway?
::She points to the antennae he had just been standing on::
I didn't think anyone knew about my favorite place in the city.

Falion turns round his eyes betraying his curiosity.
"Hmmmm...there is something different about you..."
He glances up towards the antenna, then returns his eyes to the girl's.
"I got there like..."
He seems to flicker before appearing behind her
"...this"
He kneels down to the girl and smiles chuckling softly.
"and you would be surprised just how easy it is to fit it sometimes..."
He stands once again moving to lean against the wall.
"could i ask your name young one? tis not often i meet someone that can truly see the world."

My name is Iole Blakeney. I came out here because I sensed something on the air while I was flying. It felt like it was my friend Jas, but I guess I was wrong. And you are?

"Well miss Blakeney my name is Falion Silvanus"
Smiles softly as he drifts of into a memory of long ago, a memory of happier times.
Caroline...im so sorry...
He turns away slight so that the girl wont see the sadness in his eyes,

::Falion can't really hide his sadness from her. She can't see his tears, but she can feel them. So she thinks of something that can distract him::
Falion huh? So what brings you to Timber?

He turns back to the girl and smiles knowing that some how she knew of his sadness.
"Well, I guess you could say i was born here....kind of..."
He chuckles and raises his hand to the back of his head.
"...and i guess i just wanted to come back to a place i once knew...so much has chaged though..."
He offers up a silent prayer
Infinity...Muja...Jacob i hope you are all alright
He looks at the girl again.
"And what about you...you said you flew here... sounds like fun"

::Iole gives him a sly grin before showing him what she meant. Out of her back, a pair of white spiked wings grow, like that of a dragon. If he looks at her back, he'll see that it hasn't torn her blouse. More like the blouse has melded with them::
Pretty cool huh.

"Indeed it is young one"
He smiles at he then pauses for a moment.
"Perhaps i can match that trick..."
He focuses as light seems to be drawn into his body.
"Guardian Arts: Archangel Spirt.....Release!"
The light compresses before exploding outward obscuring him from sight. When the light fades Falion has changed his silver and black hair now loose flowing softly down his back, his body encased in armor of the purest silver with golden detailing. Perhaps the biggest change is the two pure white swan like wings extending from his shoulder blades to about a foot above his head and continuing down to his ankles.
"What do you think Miss Blakeney?"
His Voice seems to have changes too, now bearing a strange musical quality and his smile seems to bring hope.

::She scrutinizes him, circling him with curiosity::
Are you an angel? Or a Cetra? I've seen a lot, but I don't think I've seen this.

He chuckles softly.
"Technically little one I'm neither."
He kneels down and looks into her eyes.
"What i am predates even the ancients them selves. I am a guardian a living embodiment of an elemental force, or in my case forces."
He opens his palm and holds it flat, light gathering around it until an image is visible.
"Once long ago there were eight of us Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Light, Dark, Energy, Space, and Time. We were the protectors called to keep balance in place but then things changed..."
The image shifts showing a man that could have passed for Falions twin.
"Kreash, the dark guardian succumbed to greed and was convinced that only he should hold the power of the guardian..."
The image changed again to show a battle field.
"There was a war...A forgotten war that still rages in some form today. It was During that war that i lost the most important thing to me... Caroline, the earth guardian..."
The image shifted to show a plain but beautiful woman.
"I killed the dark guardian in revenge and became both him and I...both light and dark a keeper of balance...the others feared me and retreated... and now only myself and the time guardian still walk this world anymore...the others lie dormant with none to awaken them."
He closes his hand and the image vanishes.
"I...am truly the last..."
He looks down a tear hitting the floor of the ally.

::Iole watches the story with fixation, but the magic doesn't seem to wow her or put her off. She's probably very used to this sort of thing wherever she's from::
I think I've heard a story like that before. It sounds like the story of the Fallen Angels. Hey... are you one of those Old Heroes? You know, the ones that were with Mr. Paige?

Falion snorts before laughing.
"MR paige? I bet infinity would love that one..."
He calms down a bit then smiles.
"I guess you could say i was, I did help infinity out in both of my privious incarnations..."
He looks at her again and chuckles.
"How do you know of those times you must be fourteen?... I would have thought you a bit young to know about those times."

Oh... I've been around. And I'm actually fourteen and a half. Anyway, I knew Mr. Paige... not very well. But I fought with him once. It was his last battle. I never really got a chance to know him better because him and my Auntie hated each other.

"So infinity's gone..."
He looks down for a moment then back up at her.
"He was a good man... but even the best of us have people who dislike us..."
He smiles again.
"And I'm sorry fourteen and a half but I'm intrigued as to how you know of those times were they that well known?"

No not really. But My Auntie was smart. She learned a lot about them and told me whatever I asked.

Falion smiles.
"Your auntie sounds like a very smart woman indeed."
He stands and looks to the sky.
"There is a storm brewing little one....."
Then in a low voice.
"...Let us hope that those who cannot weather it can find shelter..."

::Iole looks to the sky to find it relatively clear::
Oh... you mean one of those storms. Well that's nothing new. They're always coming and going. What makes this one so special?

Falion smiles grimly.
"Sticking to the storms motive the past ones would seem like a rainy sunday...."
Looks towards the horizon.
"And this one would be a hurricane, tornado, tidal wave, and earthquake ..... at the same time...."
He looks down.
"And i pray I'm wrong..."
