Despite Nailah getting a head start on Quillian to the lair, he some how managed to beat her to Ao Kuang's room. When Nailah arrived he was already in the process of rescuing Leon from the violent twister that Ao Kuang had created. Though she didn't have much time to consider much else as Ao Kuang was still thrashing about madly. His tail was coming straight for her, too quick for her to completely dodge, but then again she didn't need too.

"Suarafa." As before, when the words passed her lips the hieroglyphs appeared, again turning into golden mist. Ao Kuang's tail was suddenly right in front of her, but short of hitting her it stopped momentarily before begin thrown off of an invisible barrier that rippled when hit. Though it didn't phase Ao Kuang as his thrashing seemed to only increase. It was then she heard Leon ask where she was while looking quite concerned. "I'm right here." Nailah answered appearing next to him and Quillian. Around this time Genzai was attempting to speak to Ao Kuang yet again, but it was a failed attempt. Clair also tried her hand at restraining the dragon by use of chains she conjured, but she alone wasn't strong enough to stop the god for more than a few seconds. 

Fortunately, Leon gained an idea from that. Instructing Clair to hold him down again, though this time Leon would assist her in keeping the dragon god subdued. Once they dragged him down, the rest of them were too attack the dragon's underbelly. "Sound's like a plan." Nailah readied her staff, waiting for the golden opportunity. She only had two Words left before she would have to wait 10 minutes. If they didn't beat the dragon god now, then Nailah would be close to useless for 10 minutes. Unfortunately for Nailah she found herself blown back by the winds Ao Kuang created, slamming harshly against the walls before falling into the rising water. 

Quickly standing up, she noticed another typhoon blowing them back further. Genzai was attempting to engage Ao Kuang directly, both of his units summoned. "That's right. Come Baruti." The hieroglyphs for Baruti appeared, before coming together and then changing into a large baboon that would easily reach the height of 6ft if it stood on it's hind legs. The moment he was summoned his wise eyes surveyed the situation before eyeing Nailah.

"I assume you ran out of Words." He knew he was correct from Nailah's nervous grin, "How many times have I told you. You mustn't use-"

"I know, I know but scold me later. I really need your help." With a sigh Baruti gave in, and Nailah grinned, "Right, time for that typhoon to go bye-bye. Tak-kuseem." Thanks to Baruti's presence Nailah had gained an extra 10 Words, which would be a great help. Though after using so many Word's already, Nailah was already feeling tired and exhausted. As she threw her staff at the Typhoon in vanished, and with Baruti behind her as a brace she was able to keep herself steady during the turbulent winds. Hopefully that would buy enough time fore Clair and Leon to do their thing.

 "Fellow Egyptian, bring Heliopolis honour. You are our strongest ally, and only you can completely negate Ao Kuang's more dangerous attack. Make use of your splitting Words, and destroy any storm clouds, typhoons, tornadoes and the likes. I have the utmost faith that your magic will save many souls."

With a determined nod Nailah spoke,"You have my word, I will not let Heliopolis down." As they came upon the village, it was shown to be in shambles and in dire need of help. The winds were vicious and typhoons formed within seconds of each other, causing the already flooded streets to become worse. She would be working with Quillian to protect the town, which was a smart decision on Leon's part. With parting words Quillian launched up into the air, not before calling one of his units to help with the ground as well. 

"Guess now is a good time than any." She reached up removing her mask, revealing a set of plump dark lips set in a determined line. She could feel the tingle of power resting on her tongue waiting to be unleashed with the release of a simple word. Thanks to Quillian working above, Nailah was able to help a few of the still stranded villagers get away. Though as anyone would expect Quillian was loosing steam. as afew newly formed typhoons were drawing quite close. Hopping onto one of the still intact homes, though barely, she held out her staff.

"Tak-kuseem." 

As she spoke the words, golden ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs formed but only for a second before vanishing in a flurry of golden smoke that was absorbed by Nailah's Was. Taking aim she threw the staff with incredible speed and strength, plowing right through two typhoons. The moment her staff made contact the typhoon dispersed literally splitting the treacherous winds apart. "Was." Calling her discarded staff back to her she prepared to perform the same action once again.

It seemed to take forever, but it really wasn't long before the winds died down, and the waters returned to their calm state. That could only mean the negotiations didn't go off without a hitch like they had hoped. Even so it was expected. "We should hurry." She mumbled rushing to the battle no doubt taking place.

'Where am I' Was Yoshiko's first conscious thought as she slowly stirred into a sitting position. Last she remembered was being in the basement looking for Saki when Yukio said something about a door. There was a bright and then nothing. She looked around trying to gather herself, noticing that the others were also starting to wake. "Wait what the heck is this?" She whispered taking a look at her surroundings. It appeared that they were still in the basement but the walls were all eroded, and looked like something from a horror film. Though this was far from a horror film; it was real life after all. The other strange thing was the air itself. It was dark, reddish in color and added to the creepy atmosphere. Despite it's look it didn't appear harmful. 

Yoshiko finally moved to her feet as the feeling of fear sunk into her system. She knew she shouldn't have come with them. It was a crazy idea from the start. Whatever happened to Saki, the same thing was probably happening to them right now. This is what happens when she second guess herself. Ayame asked what happened, looking to Yukio and Gin for the answer. Not expecting them to know anymore than the rest of them Yoshiko frowned, fiddling with the hem of her skirt in nervousness. "I knew I should have just went home. This was a dumb idea from the start."

China truly was a beautiful place, the only problem Nailah had with this was that she could not take the time to sight-see like she truly desired too. Pulled from her thoughts that she had been so engrossed in, she heard Leon ask Genzai whether he had any ideas to persuade the dragon god; Ao Kuang. Genzai took a moment before explaining his idea, which entailed him speaking to the god alone while the rest of them protected the villagers. Clair gave her two cents, which Nailah was more inclined to agree with. Now that Clair had a new patron she wasn't nearly as unnerving as before. Even then Nailah knew she wasn't a bad person but that aura around her made Nailah way too uncomfortable. So Nailah was more than happy with Clair's decision to change patrons.

"I have to say I agree with Clair. While you probably do stand the greatest chance of having the god hear you out, going alone is more trouble than it is worth. Though I would rather we all go just to be safe, I would not be apposed to splitting up. A few of us head to meet the god, and the rest protect the villagers. While we want to get this done without any problems, we should plan of every contingency and that is having a few people stationed by the village." Nailah looked towards Leon when she finished. Though they were of the same Parthenon this would be the first time she had been a part of the same mission as he was. It was clear that he was the appointed leader, he simply had that quality to him, so she was interested to see how he would call this.

I will be making a post later today
