Where Magic Meets

"Long ago, there was a powerful group of people, who sat peacefully in the valley of a kingdom. They all harnessed powerful abilities, that lead to many wanting not only their heads, but their power. Years went by, battles came and went, but suddenly, it all ended. A strong demon who tortured and raided and hurt and corrupted was finally brought down to his knees, and then, was vanquished. All was peaceful in the village, and the people were free to live how they wanted.


However, one man received too much power. Taken into the group, healed and helped, he aspired more than to travel and sit back. The power he once held was ripped away, never to be returned. Now, however, he gained new power, more than he ever imagined, but had only a small group to control with. He aspired for more, and branched out. Who had one been the hero now became the villain, treacherous, malicious, and deceiving. His actions displeased many, and hurt even more, only to happen when good intentions turn sour.



There was a great battle to stop him. Two women, one with the creation of dark for good, the other with destructive, terrifying power used for benevolence, went forth to brave his fury. The battle was long fought, destructive with power beyond compare. The end result was something no one is quite sure what happened. The Man no longer holds reign, but if he is dead, well, there is no solid evidence. Worlds, dimensions all around are in a peril due to his play, and the community, the people in the village, have all dispersed. Vanished, it seems.



The two women were never heard from again."


Cold. Hot. Wet. Dry. It was all mostly the same for Sumaria. The elemental affects had no change on him.

An android. That's what he was. A bunch of mechanics, wiring, robotics all put into one body that was in some way supposed to become part of the 'super-human' race. He was supposed to resemble a human in body structure, but facial? He wasn't quite sure. All of the humans he saw usually wore goggles and masks and other objects that obstructed their facial structures. The others, he saw, were all androids, but... Not quite. As far as he saw, he was the most intelligent. He had different wiring, one that enabled him to think, speak, react as a human would. Well, with different conditions, of course.

Technically Sumaria wasn't even a 'he'. What he managed to conclude was that he used to be someone(was it a human? Possibly. He wasn't sure), and that in his past, he was, in fact, a male. What he wasn't too sure of what his name was. 'Sumaria' is just what he had been called ever since the scientists tested him out. After he became more independent. After he escaped from the lab. He didn't like the scientists, but didn't have the creative ability to found a new name for himself, so Sumaria stuck with him.

He also concluded that he should probably not wear his 'skin' out and about. So, he'd found a cloak, adapted it, found someone it fix it up, and bam. It covered his head and, well, most of his body. Only the yellow glow of his round opticals was visible from under the hood of the cloak he wore. He also wore arm guards, gloves, boots too-big, some sort of armored shirt and pants to blend in more. As for weaponry, well... All he had was a staff. Nothing much but a jagged end that he was sure one time or another was something beautiful. He'd took it off a body he found, and he discovered it was very sturdy, and good enough for whacking with.

He traveled alone in the land of Barbadissia, city ruins all around him. There wasn't much of anybody else, really, that he had seen. The ones he had seen were either inhuman, or the human ones had their faces covered, and usually didn't stick around along(unless they were trying to kill him, in which Sumaria usually succeeded in escaping or driving them off). He wasn't sure if he felt lonely, or worried, or anxious or-- Or anything for that matter! Considering how close to human he was, he was sure it was emotions and different feelings he was receiving, but he wasn't sure what they were. Didn't know which feeling was what, and if it--

He froze, picking up a sound. It sounded like... Maybe crumbling? Like debris being shifting. It sounded careful, so he knew it wasn't an animal. However, he also heard slightly labored breathing. Maybe... Someone was injured? Or was digging for something. Or was trying to plot a trap. Whatever it was, curiosity(was that the word?) drew Sumaria forth to go investigate. He turned, walking towards the tall, crumbled building, and peered around the corner to see who it was, and what was going on.​
 
Xena heard some approaching the building she had decided to take refuge in, she didn't know who it was, but she wasn't so sure she could fight in the condition she currently found herself in, she pulled her mask up to her face, covering her up until her nose, took an axes from her back and crawled to a corner of the building, hoping it would hide her, tried to stay still as she waited for the person to show their face, she thought maybe she could take the person by surprise and blow their head clean off, her heart beat getting faster as her breath was also getting heavier, she lifted her eyes up to see her attacker.
 

Sumaria was faced with... A human? Is that what a human looked like? At least, he could see their eyes, wary and did not seem too very friendly. However, upon further inspection on the position they were in, it seemed that they were injured. Hurt, in some way. Grave injury? No, they appeared too lively for that. Sumaria was sure, however, that if this being was uninjured, he would find himself unwired by now. Or, at least, in bits and pieces. It seemed he had the advantage here, not that he would be doing much killing in the first place.

The android shifted more, coming fully into the alleyway, peering down at the person with yellow, unblinking optical orbs. The axe they held was unsettling, to say the least. He would like to tell them to just, well, put it away, but he was rendered speechless. Literally. He couldn't speak, not a word. Instead, he opted a risky move-- He offered a hand to the injured species, optic orbs flickering in a motion of a blink.​
 
Xena kept looking at...well she wasn't really sure if it was a man or a machine, however, it seemed to take notice in her injures, to her misfortune he carried a staff, she was sure he was going to kill her, she could try to chop his head off, as the thought on doing at first, but if she missed, she would die. She contemplated the situation a bit more, not paying much attention to the threat anymore, and at last when she had decided to try and kill it, she looked at him once more, to discover it had its hand held out, as if trying to help her get back up, he seemed to be cautious with his actions, as he didn't seem to completely trust what she was going to do, like a wild animal.


She slowly started to put her axe down and lift her hand up to his, she wasn't very injured, just a small limp, which still, prevented her from running, she pulled herself up to meet the eyes of the one who had just helped her, she wondered why he did that, instead of just killing her off, he couldn't have been sure she wasn't going to kill him, and they didn't even know each other; "Thank you, but...why did you help me?" she questioned as she finished getting up, making sure to be as careful as she could.
 

He helped her up with ease. The mechanics in his system rendered him annoyingly strong and able, so strength wasn't anything he needed to worry on. He retracted his hand as she stood, listening to her question, but unable to give a verbal answer. He instead searched her body for where injuries may lay, only for nothing to directly meet his optic orbs. It was probably under her clothing, he concluded, looking down and swept his cloak to the side slightly.

He wore a belt, slightly baggy, with an array of small pouches, a pistol strapped to his side(out of ammunition, unfortunately). His orbs danced across each pouch, followed by his fingers, feeling each bag in return. He finally grabbed one, unclipping it, and offering the bag to her between two fingers. The pouch contained medicinal herbs to help whatever injury she had. He wasn't going to be using it anytime soon, and so, he figured someone else may get better use of it. He realized that by doing this he could only be helping an enemy, and could soon get killed after. Which raised the question that this woman had just asked: Why was he helping her? He wasn't quite sure himself, and he finally managed to answer with a shrug of his shoulders, offering her the pouch moreso.​
 
She looked at him, as he shrugged, she was a little unimpressed by the answer, but she wasn't going to ask him to kill her, she looked at him, as he moved his fingers across the belt he wore, pocket through pocket, until he finally stopped and reached for one,and took out a little orb she wasn't completely sure if she should take it, for all she knew it could be some sort of drug, but the man seemed to not be dangerous, so she gently took it from his hands, bowing her head a little, in a notion of gratitude, she threw the orb into her mouth and swallowed it, a few seconds after, she seemed to be feeling much better, some of her physical capacities returned now, "So, what brings you here...um" she realized she didn't know the name of the guy yet, so she left it at that, normally, one does not stray very far front their homes, unless they have a very important job to do or are just plain crazy and have a death wish.
