The demon's head had grown to more than three times the size of its body, jaws open to unleash fires from the underworld. Those flames gathered within the creature's throat as a doorway to set loose hell's wrath upon all that stood before it. Once released, however, the inferno met resistance.
Chu'ra simply held up a hand, her eyes golden. She spoke but a simple, soft word, an aura of magic swirling around her, as she blocked the flames at their point of origin. A smile formed upon her face, and she spoke in a strange language, warning the beast to relent.
Before it was given time to respond, she sent a cone of cold and ice into the creature's open maw.
With the demon's jaw frozen, leaving the creature's mouth agape for all to see, Chu'ra said, "If I am to be tested, then I guess the Fates will have a good show." She turned to face the stranger at the bar, and flashed him a smile, before she returned her attention to the stilled beast.
She swung her staff swiftly, generating a blast of icy wind, which sent the creature back several paces. "Behave yourself," she snarled in that same strange language, "before I turn you into a mouse." Chu'ra was grinning, then, revealing the slightest view of her fanged teeth.
Her dog growled at the creature from behind her, as it kept watch over the ruined doorway.
Meanwhile, outside the tavern, a deep, mocking laughter erupted from the centre of the fiery whirlwind. The swordsman could not be seen within the blazing inferno, though evidence of his presence was soon visible in a blinding flash of brilliant light, a swirl of awesome colour.
The twelve avians were given some measure of pause, their perfect coordination now disrupted. Some were blinded completely by the brilliant flash, others only further enraged. Together they resumed their assault upon the swordsman, who was obviously more of a threat than they initially imagined.
Jubei no more, Bishamon struck at them on their first pass. Each of the twelve was wounded. Wings were torns and claws severed, but a second pass came nontheless. As before, Bishamon dealt the demons a number of wounds, each precise in delivery. It was not long after that the creatures shrank in size, and power.
An ominous voice rumbled through the whirling flames, as the apparent swordsman spoke to the avian demons in their own language. "Begone to the pits which spawned you, or be destroyed."
For a moment the whirlwind subsided, the winged demons retreating as one. Then, without warning, the creatures fell to the ground, squeaking. Their shape shifted until they were furry, and white, considerably smaller than they had been. And, then, as mice, they were gone.
Within the tavern, only moments prior, Chu'ra arrived at a decision. She decided that she had enough of the foul breathed creature. She made another sweep of her staff, stepped towards what was left of the doorway, and began chanting softly. Her staff began to glow.
Chu'ra smiled as a multicoloured spray of light suddenly poured forth from her staff, surrounding the demon in a brilliant hue. Her dog barked, and she stepped backward. They watched the prismatic spray of colours as it enveloped the demon.
With a graceful gesture, Chu'ra brought her fingers together tightly. She admired her handiwork as the prismatic sphere, and the creature within it, began to shrink. She made good on her word.
Her business with the demon complete, Chu'ra walked back towards the bar where she ordered another drink, and an ale bowl. She received both in good order as she conversed with the fairy.
But, something had changed. There was no sign of the silent stranger at the bar. There were a few other patrons engaged in dialogue of their own, some attending to their meals and assorted drinks. The establishment itself was different, too. There was no sign that there had been an intrusion of any form. The doorway was untouched, and the air no longer reeked of poisonous fumes.
When Jubei reentered, it was to see Chu'ra's dog pawing at the tavern floor. A small tail swirled between the dog's toes, and muffled squeaks of panic could be heard from beneath it.
The bartender watched wordlessly. He turned to serve another patron, and soon busied himself with a cloth and an empty glass he sought to clean. Out of the corner of his eye, he observed Azul.

IC: Azul.
/I am grateful for your kind offer, but I must decline it, as I have very little tolerance for alcohol and Im not thirsty.../
Azul watched interestedly as her small ferret stood on it hind lengs and sniffed the air, eyeing the small pink tail between the dog's toes the way a young child would eye a chocolate.
"Ich n´pshnse q' s'sste uhn boenna deia, Ko'riku" she whispered. Her voice was also soft and musical, though it carried the same soft tone her thoughts did, making a whisper comming from her rosy lips barely audible for a human ear.
Mismatched eyes looked around again, with renewed interest, as she observed the many changes that had gone around the tavern. Her gaze fell upon the bartender, who's eye quikly looked away. A small frown came to adorn her delicate face, almost immediatly overwhelmed by a smile and a small giggle as the ferret sniffed her neck, tickling her.
/Anyhow...interesting little place, ne?/ she directed towards the woman. Azul wasn't the talktive type, but this woman had spoken like an Elemental, and prooved very amusing when she turned the big lizard into a mouse. She was curious, that was all.

Chu'ra - in an intersting unnamed Tavern
Chu'ra listened to the response, as she offered the small visitor a drink.
/I am grateful for your kind offer, but I must decline it, as I have very little tolerance for alcohol and Im not thirsty.../
Chu'ra nodded. /As you wish./ she responded. She turned, reaching over and took a sip of her drink. She then reached into her pouch and pulled out a small bag.
Dog was intently playing with the tiny pink tail, between his toes, making sure the animal attached did not escape. Chu'ra spoke a few words to Dog, and with a deft jesture, quickly scooped up the small animal that Dog was tending to, and scooped it into what looked like a glass jar. She chuckled softly, even as she heard the fae's soft whisperings.
Having also noticed the change in the bar, Chu'ra called to Jubei. "Time to return, warrior. It seems we have passed one of our...tests." With that, Chu'ra sat back down on her seat, admiring the jar for a moment. Intersting. Transmorph..or illusion? How curious. With a practiced movement, her staff returned to a smaller size, which she tucked away once more.
/Anyhow...interesting little place, ne?/ the faee directed towards Chu'ra. Chu'ra turned, and responded in the language of the fae. /This place holds far more secrets, than it has shown us so far, I do believe./
Chu'ra sat down her drink, as she waited for Jubei to rejoin them. She also wondered what happened to their mysterious stranger, who seemed quite in control of things. She tapped a finger on the bar, looking towards the bartender for a moment, before she spoke towards the fae again. /"Do you have a name, you wish to be called by?/ Chur'ra asked the the Fae, as she took a seat, looking at the bartender. Dog came over, and sat next to her.
"Interesting place you have here." she said to the bartender, with a grin.

Interesting. It was certainly one word that could be used to describe the place. The bartender could not deny the woman's assessment of the establishment, but even he could not fully explain or understand recent happenings within the tavern's walls. He nodded once in assent of the female's observation.
"It is no more interesting than the patrons it seems to attract," he said to Chu'ra, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He raised his glass, holding it to the light so that he might examine it, before he set it aside and took another. He cleaned the second just as he did the first, a simple cloth in hand, which he rubbed against the translucent cup.
The waitress returned from the kitchen area and set herself to removing empty dishes from the tables of absent patrons. She smiled warmly at Azul, and looked at the young girl's ferret. Her polite expression remained with her when she returned to the kitchen once more. It was nice to have guests.

/Azul/ amswered the young faery in her now usual playful whispers /That's the name at least/
She looked at the dog beside the woman.
"Oi, Tske ne, shreka...ne?" she talked to the ferret, which sneezed and scratched his head before climbing back to her shoulder.
Azul jumped up and stretched, her back cracked softly.
/You spoke of tests, stranger/ she told the woman, matter of factly, smiling back at the waitress /Do you think the oversiezed lizard and it's little friends were nothing but mere tests?/
She couldn't help it if she was curious...

Outside the Nameless Tavern
"Jubei" : The Wandering Swordsman
Bishamon Oni only bearly regarded the former avain deamons who were now but mice scurrying away before him. His stare would have obliterated them should he desire it, but the battle was over. The deamons were in retreat, but he was not certain if it wa sdue to his words of warning. Bishamon found himself feeling actual surprise that the deamons were in taking their leave, for they usually fought to the bitter end.
Strange.
Gouts of fire flared from the transformed warrior's nostrils as he half turned, already sensing that the larger deamon was also gone, however, he did feel traces of arcane energies still charging the air.
Suddenly, Bishamon Oni looked skyward and roared mightily. The gesture was not one to be easily interpreted however. The ever-present white fire that surrounded him grew in intensity then flared with power. There was a flash of light and a whooshing sound, and after the brightness was gone, Jubei stood in place of the white haired warrior.
The wandering swordsman was taking deep controlling breaths as he stood in place. After a moment, Jubei's breathing was even and controlled, and only then did he open his eyes. He quickly regarded himself and chuckled dryly. Jubei's still bore the evidence of the attack he had suffered by the avian deamons. His gear was slashed, tattered and bloodied. A few red marks were still visible where his skin had been lacerated, but those marks were quickly vanishing. The pulsing light emiting from his hand ebbed and eventually faded.
Jubei shook his head as he sheathed his katana sword. A wry smile appeared on his face even though a brooding shadow was cast over his eyes. Silently, he began to move forth as he made his way back to the Tavern.
As he neared the nameless establishment, the swordsman regarded the undamaged entrance with very mild curiosity, even as he made it through the Tavern doors. Once inside, his eyes narrowed as he scanned for Chu'ra. Jubei's keen eyes noticed how all was as he last saw it before the attack. As he made a mental note, he saw the Dog and it's new chew toy. He just had to smile at that. He also noticed the most recent addition to the Tavern population. A faery.
Jubei did wonder for a moment as to the faery's arrival, but did not entretain the thought for very long....after all, such was the nature of the tavern, as he was learning. Finally his gaze found Chu'ra whom he nodded to, communicating to her with his eyes that all was well more or less.
Wordlessly, Jubei went to the bar and took a seat some distance from the others. He didn't order immediately, but made fists of his hands upon the bartop and bowed his head. He shuddered for a moment, then remained still. After letting out a sigh, he raised his head.
No. They didn't know...couldn't know what it's like.
Jubei rubbed his face with one hand then nonchalantly asked the bartender for a drink.
"More Sake.....please."

It was not difficult for the bartender to observe the returning warrior. A few of the other patrons also cast curious glances toward Jubei as he entered. As for the warrior himself, his clothes were the worse for wear, and had seen much better days. He assessed his surroundings with a keen eye, taking note of Chu'ra's new companion before he settled himself a short distance away at the bar.
He did not order immediately. Instead, he made fists of his hands upon the bartop and bowed his head. He shuddered for a moment, then remained still. After letting out a sigh, he raised his head. Jubei rubbed his face with one hand then nonchalantly asked the bartender for a drink. "More Sake ... please."
The bartender saw to preparing the required beverage, and served it to Jubei with a friendly smile. "It's on the house," he said politely. His eyes lingered on the warrior, and, after a few moments of silence passed between them, he added, "You may help yourself to one of the rooms upstairs, if you wish. Within you will find a spare change of clothes and bathing facilities, should you require either one."
His head turned to indicate the timber staircase leading to the tavern's second storey. "Please stay as long as you wish. My house is your house, for as long as you wish it." He said these words a little louder, so that Chu'ra might also hear him. His eyes looked directly toward the female then, in an effort to clarify that his hospitality did not extend to the wandering swordsman alone.

Nameless Tavern
"Jubei" : The Wandering Swordsman
Jubei finished his sake, then thanked the 'bartender'.
"Arigato....." he said in his native language, then in the common tongue.
"Thank you..."
Jubei's eyes followed the stairs as he got up from his place at the bar, quite incidentally leaving a few gold pieces behind. It was quite apparent to Jubei, at least now, that the 'bartender' was not entirely what he appeared to be.
Once upstairs, Jubei had no trouble finding the room the bartender was refering to, and to his surprise, he found a fresh change of clothes. Many questions came to the warrior's mind, but those would have to wait for later. Adjacent to the room was a hot tub, and Jubei was going to take full advantage of this opportunity. No telling when the chance would present itself again.
Needless to say, it would be a little while before the swordsman rejoined his acquaintances at the bar.

A little while or not, Jubei was free to indulge himself in what small comforts the tavern's guest quarters had to offer. Being who he was, however, the swordsman was not likely one to want or crave such comforts, though he, as much as anyone else, could appreciate their quality for allowing one to relax and feel so completely at ease. His reasons, should they delve more deeply, were his own.
When he returned to the common room, he found a scene near identical to the one he left behind. Chu'ra was still at the bar, as was her smaller companion. The bartender, too, was at his usual place. In fact, Jubei was almost certain he spotted the same waitress cleaning the very same table she had been at when he left. It was a most curious sight.
Strange though the tavern was, its patrons could not remain there forever. It was a place of particular allure, one that all but drew magical beings and energies towards it. Those same energies always remained, though in different capacities. Presently the air was filled with a sense of rest and peace. Those within the tavern's walls had come for some form of respite, and had been greeted with so much more.
Another patron entered the establishment through the main doorway. He was not unusual except perhaps in that he was the only being present who seemed devoid of magical energies beyond the dust with which he was created. As the door closed behind him, the same energies that were lacking in the newcomer were soon emptied from the tavern whole.
What had been a focus well of power had become a simple, common tavern. The bartender, and all of the patrons within, but three, were no more unusual that the ordinary denizens of the land known as Callanthorith. Yet, outside the tavern's walls, and perhaps unknown even to the three, waited a power quite unlike any other.

OOC: Hi guys ... as a matter of courtesy, may I invite you to take a look over my character currently running in the world of Men (that is, the informational thread of the UF.) I only advise the same as I'm aware of the possible impact such a character (which is, I might add, GM approved) may or may not have on the game world in the months to come. Many thanks!

Nameless Tavern
"Jubei" : The Wandering Swordsman
Finally feelig refreshed and rejuvenated now that he was clean and dressed in fresh, yet modest robes, Jubei silently made his way down the stairs from his quarters and into the Tavern's main room. As he descended, familiar sounds and smells greeted him, those of ale and conversation. He also noted that despite the hour, not to mention the recent episode, the dive was as busy as he'd ever seen it.
Jubei almost smiled as a sense of ease came over him.
For one moment he stood by the stairs, regarding the busy room. His eyes scanned for familiar faces, which he found. Satisfied, Jubei moved about the busy room filled with patrons, however, he did not make his way back to the bar. Instead, he found what would be a relatively quiet corner and sat down cross-legged. At the moment, he was not seeking isolation. He simply wanted to meditate and take in the sensation of the crowded room, the essence of the tavern. He had to admit, there was something very special about this place, somehow it seemed vaguely.....familiar.
The Wandering Swordsman closed his eyes, placed his sword across his legs and placed his hands at either side. Soon, he was in a meditative state as he took in the energies that surrounded him.
Time passed and all seemed to be normal, when without looking, Jubei discerned that the main doors of the Tavern had opened, allowing in a new arrival. Going in and out of the tavern was a perfectly ordinary occurance that scarcely merited his attention, but this time it was different. At that same moment the new arrival made it through the doors, there was an unusual shift of energy within the tavern. It was enough for Jubei to feel it palpably. To his slight dismay, his hidden talisman pulsed faintly in response...which was of itself a silent warning.
Jubei took a deep breath and exhaled. He then waited.
Long ago, he'd learned to be patient and allow events to unfold at their pace. Patience was a great teacher, and much could be learned at that time. So, he did not move or stir, but remained seated....and as he meditated, he waited to see what this new arrival brought into the Tavern.
Tag: No one, GM, any who see him.

Chu'ra - in an quaint unnamed Tavern
Chu'ra was finding this place more to her liking with each passing moment. It was certainly not dull. One of those lovely little places, that was more than it seemed. She could learn much. She turned when the fae spoke to her.
/Anyhow...interesting little place, ne?/ Chu'ra turned, and responded in the language of the fae. /This place holds far more secrets, than it has shown us so far, I do believe./ She paused. /"Do you have a name, you wish to be called by?/ Chur'ra asked the the Fae, as she took a seat, looking at the bartender.
"Interesting place you have here." she said to the bartender, with a grin, as she raised her glass, to order another drink.
The bartender nodded once in assent of the female's observation. "It is no more interesting than the patrons it seems to attract," he said to Chu'ra, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He raised his glass, holding it to the light so that he might examine it, before he set it aside and took another. He cleaned the second just as he did the first, a simple cloth in hand, which he rubbed against the translucent cup.
Chu'ra gave a simple nod. "Of that statement, I do agree. A quiet lively exchange indeed." Chu'ra offered a smile.
Chu'ra turned, as she heard the fairy speak once more, streaching as he did. /You spoke of tests, stranger/ she told the woman, matter of factly, smiling back at the waitress /Do you think the oversiezed lizard and it's little friends were nothing but mere tests?/ Chu'ra smiled, as she looked at the fae. /Most definatelly. If it wanted something, it would still be here. And our other companion, it seems he dissapeared as well. Definatelly make me think, test./
The door swung open, and Jubei entered into the bar. Wordlessly, Jubei went to the bar and took a seat some distance from the others. He didn't order immediately, but made fists of his hands upon the bartop and bowed his head. He shuddered for a moment, then remained still. After letting out a sigh, he raised his head.
His battle with the beast, seemed to have taken a toll on him. Then again, shapechanging was not something done lightly. Even if it was a true form. She stayed silent, as Jubei rubbed his face with one hand then nonchalantly asked the bartender for a drink.
"More Sake.....please."
The bartender saw to preparing the required beverage, and served it to Jubei with a friendly smile. "It's on the house," he said politely. His eyes lingered on the warrior, and, after a few moments of silence passed between them, he added, "You may help yourself to one of the rooms upstairs, if you wish. Within you will find a spare change of clothes and bathing facilities, should you require either one."
His head turned to indicate the timber staircase leading to the tavern's second storey. "Please stay as long as you wish. My house is your house, for as long as you wish it." He said these words a little louder, so that Chu'ra might also hear him. His eyes looked directly toward the female then, in an effort to clarify that his hospitality did not extend to the wandering swordsman alone.
Chu'ra gave a small bow, as Dog woofed softly next to her feet. It seemed that visitng the bar this day did indeed improve her outlook. She looked at Jubei. He looked worse for wear. Remembering how he took on the other, she could understand why. Jubei finished his sake, then thanked the 'bartender'. "Arigato....." he said in his native language, then in the common tongue. "Thank you..." Chu'ra was almost certain that the bartender would understand him no mater what language he spoke. It would be hard NOT to pick up a few things, running such a place as this.
Jubei's eyes followed the stairs as he got up from his place at the bar, quite incidentally leaving a few gold pieces behind. He left the others, without saying a word. Chu'ra bent down, and gently scratched Dogs face and ears. As she chuckled softly, she bent down and whispered something into dogs ear. With a lick to her fingers, and a happy wag of the tail, Dog dissapeared upstairs, not too long after Jubei had.
Chu'ra meanwhile, streached slightly, and then decided to order a meal. She also ordered something for Dog as well, for he would be joining her later on. She sipped on her drink, relaxing now, as she waited. The Fairy had gone quiet, so she was content to check out the others that had wandered into such a place. Now it was time to explore with new eyes. Just how strong a magical pull did this place have. Chu'ra spread her fingers wide, as she put them on the counter.
How Interesting.
When he returned to the common room, he found a scene near identical to the one he left behind. Chu'ra was still at the bar, as was her smaller companion. The bartender, too, was at his usual place. In fact, Jubei was almost certain he spotted the same waitress cleaning the very same table she had been at when he left. It was a most curious sight.
Strange though the tavern was, its patrons could not remain there forever. It was a place of particular allure, one that all but drew magical beings and energies towards it. Those same energies always remained, though in different capacities. Presently the air was filled with a sense of rest and peace. Those within the tavern's walls had come for some form of respite, and had been greeted with so much more.

He was not unusual except perhaps in that he was the only being present who seemed devoid of magical energies beyond the dust with which he was created. As the door closed behind him, the same energies that were lacking in the newcomer were soon emptied from the tavern whole.
Chu'ra looked upon the newcomer, and then returned to her drink. Truly, things were about to get more intersting. But for now, she turned her interests back to her meal.
That was until Jubei returned. She could tell that the man had been busily scrubbing. Which was a good thing, for a warrior. She looked away returning to her meal, but gave a slight smile.
Jubei walked over towards a corner of the place, and sat down cross-legged. She let an eyebrow go up. If he wanted to meditate, his room would have been more the thing. That is, unless he was seeking something more, as she had done eariler. She would not disturb him.
The Wandering Swordsman closed his eyes, placed his sword across his legs and placed his hands at either side. It was not long afterwards that Dog came back down, and rejoined her. She quietly slipped a bowl of food for him, scratching his ears.

There seemed such a vast change in the tavern. Where once there was magical energy there was now an empty void. The shift was as dramatic as if the sun had suddenly vanished from the sky. Yet there was no sign or evidence of danger. In fact, no item of unusual quality or composition appeared evident within the tavern at all. The place had rapidly become ordinary.
A sure symbol of that plain character came in the form of a newcomer to the establishment. He was a simple man, dressed in humble clothes. He was not obviously poor, for he wore items far superior to a beggar's rags.
Some cast glances toward him as he entered. He seemed unbothered by those curious eyes, though he cast his own gaze downward. There his sight remained until he reached the bar. The man ordered a glass of house wine and paid for the beverage with copper, offering a simple word of gratitude to the bartender.
The man sipped his drink until at last his cup was empty. Then, he took a seat from the many that were vacant. He spoke not a further word. His eyes remained set on the table before him, only rarely stealing a glance at the others within the common room.
Both Chu'ra and Jubei kept to themselves. None spoke of the recent happenings within the tavern, though a few whispers were muttered between patrons. Among the exchanges, the Wandering Swordsman and Chu'ra alike heard the words 'Demon' and 'great power'.
After a time, however, the patrons became settled and the sun's light began to glow brilliant orange through the tavern's windows. Dusk came shortly thereafter, and with it, the departure of several of the tavern's guests, including that of the Ordinary Man.
Something, or someone, remained outside the tavern's walls, waiting patiently. She, he, or it, had been waiting since the beginning. A little while longer hardly seemed to matter at all.
