It was strange. After hours of flying over the strange city, Aurora felt...... drawn almost to the graveyard. She landed on the street outside the main gate, assessing the best way inside. She honestly was too tired to fly over the wrought iron fence, but the gate was chained shut. "Hmmm" she murmured softly, taking a few steps to the gate. She reached out her hand and closed her eyes, concentrating on the burning feeling in her hand. The Chain began to glow bright red and slowly melted away, the gate slowly and idly swinging open once free of the chain.
Aurora walked through the old and crumbling cemetery with a mild interest. She examined a few of the newer headstones curiously. "2010.....How could that possibly be correct? Surly this is wrong....." she mused to herself.
The sunlight was starting to fade as Aurora continued to wander the graves, so she with a flick of her wrist, she summoned forth a small glowing orb of flame that hovered in mid air, just a few steps before her, to light the way.

Amidst the dark skies another being glided soundlessly through the air, Winters great white wing's cut through the air twitching slightly as she kept her path straight while she scanned the town from above, Her expression cold and unchanging as ever even as she noticed a few billboards and dates as she passed by, "2010?" she thought to herself obviously confused.
Something was deffinetly not right here, Beating her wings against the air she stopped herself in mid flight and dropped earthwards and crouched as she landed on the dark soft ground bellow, Feeling the stone cold dew covered grass between her fingers before looking up into the dimly lit surrounding's, "The graveyard. How ironic," She muttered silently to herself as she stood and wandered slowly amongst the gravestones running her fingers over them as cold mist followed her movements....

Aurora stopped and sat down once she reached the middle of the cemetery. She sighed and ran her clawed fingers through her flame like hair. "I feel as if this was rather pointless. I should be looking for answers, not gravestones" she added, scolding herself. The small ball of flame she had conjured settled in the palm of her hand and she began to roll it around, like a crystal juggler.
A few minutes passed when she stopped what she was doing. She felt something.... something familiar.... Aurora quickly extinguished the flame and sat, waiting.

Winter still wandered aimlessly amongst the gravestones, Her mind still ticking over trying to come up with answers but still couldn't even begin to conjur up how why or what had happened, All she could remember was the cracking of the wooden floor above her as she slept in the dark dungeon of that abandoned castle waking her and being unable to move in time and waking up in this town...
Soon though winter's slow wandering slowed even more her cold eye's staring into the dark fixated almost with the silohoute of a cemetery building that rested in the middle of the cemetery, Stopping beside a gravestone little more than 30 feet away from the tomb and clawed her fingers onto the gravestone, Her nails chipping into the rock slightly. She could sense another being, But this sense felt fammiliar... too fammiliar, Like the scent of her own flesh and blood.

Aurora winced as Winter ran her claws over the stone headmarker. There was no mistaking it, she knew this pressance.... it was someone she knew all too well. Carefully Aurora drew her dagger and slowly got up into a kneeling position, keeping her wings carefully folded against her back, waiting to pounce.

Winter stood patiently listening intently into the darkness as the cold mist that had been following her like dry ice seemed to settle around her, She was certain her twin sister was here and close but an enemy unseen was an enemy uncertain.
Without warning winter spread her wings dispelling the icy mist around her as she quickly jumped upward's giving a strong thrust of her white wings aiming to land on the center of the roof of the tomb just as the moonlight mannaged to pierce through the dark clouds illuminating the ground with an eerie glow,
tucking her wings tight to her back winter lean't over the edge of the building to look down to where she thought her sister was hiding...

Winter's movement was all she needed. Aurora shot up and summoned a ball of flame to her fist. She spread her own wings and flew at break neck speeds towards the crypt. "I have finally found you, vile wench!" she screamed.

Winter pushed against the edge of the wall hard barely dodging aura's fist as she shot up towards her, Feeling the heat of the flames against her face as she fell onto her back, Conjuring up the same dry ice around her she formed a sheild to protect herself as she moved to her feet and spread her wings giving herself some distance between her and her sister, Baring her fangs as she hissed clawing her fingers,
"The only wench here is you you double-crossing whore!" she snapped back as ice hardened on her fingers before she lunged fowards thrusting herself with her wings up at her sibling with every intent on driving her claws all the way through to her heart,

Aurora growled and followed after her sister. In her haste she nearly ran straight into Winter's extended claws, but at the very last moment she managed to roll out of the way, just barely catching Winter's claws, which in turn drew blood from Aurora's side. Aurora flew straight at a headstone, which cracked under the force of the demoness.
She stood quickly, throwing a ball of flame at Winter. "You shall pay for your crimes!" she exclaimed.

Winter landed and sneered looking at the droplets of blood that rolled off the edge of her claws before flicking the remainder off dismissively turning as her sister started to get up,
"Crimes... revenge call it what you will," Winter said in return before having to react quickly sheilding herself with her wing leaving a long scorch down the back of it luckily not penetrating it as she mannaged to twist at the same time, Wincing in pain winter reacted instantly conjuring the dry ice that surround her into her hand before throwing the elongated icicle back at her sister angrily,

Aurora brought both her hands up and spread flame between them, shielding herself from Winter's icicle. Aurora snarled and threw a few more balls of flame towards her sister. Just barely scorching her wasn't enough, she wanted to see Winter to pay for the heartbreak she had caused her.

Winter had to take a step back and raise both her hands conjuring a thick wall of ice between herself and her sisters projectiles wich collided and took deep chunks out of the ice, Winter knew in the back of her mind she wasn't as strong as her sister but her torment pursued her to rip her apart... To show her what she had done, How she had betrayed and double crossed her. Winter's icy heart would be avenged...

"GRAH!" Aurora screamed, throwing several more flames at Winter, trying to melt the barrier between the two women so she could destroy her murderous sister. "I will destroy you, you harpy" she growled.

Winter's rage flared and she put all her effort into her summoned wall of ice wich thickened and sprouted long sharp spikes of clear ice at speed towards aura before winter threw herself through it's center wich parted for her, the adrenaline boost helping her shrug off the pain as she thrusted herself towards aura claws outstretched and her fangs bared, "Harpy?! your the only demoness who fit's that description you bitch!" She snapped in mid flight just as she retrated her arm and put all her weight into swiping for aura blindly,

Aurora swatted the icicles away with her flaming hands. Her sister was blind with anger, and Aurora was going to use this to her advantage. Aurora reached out and attempted to grab Winter's arm. If she was successful she would spin it behind her back, force her to the ground in a submission hold, then end her miserable excuse for a life.
