The gases fade slightly giving away Xulu's appearance once more.

He appeared as an alien looking bird that looked very similar to eagles but at the same time much like a spiritual bird. Ash covered his flesh as his feathers and beak looked charred, thus giving his complexion a jet black coloring wit the occasional white specs across his body.

He wore a black pea coat with a hood that covered the top side of his head, covering his hair; the coat itself was bloodied and ashy much like the rest of his body with a few tatters across the coat's designs. He wore slacks of sorts that were torn at the knee, everything from his knee below was covered in bandages that would lead to his sharp talons. Xulu wore black bandana below his beak hanging from his neck, it was very similar to the hawk's scarf and equally just as battle torn. His beak was completely black and in good condition.

Xulu takes a deep breath, his eyes stray away from Phantom's. The realization that he was dying and deathly sick hit him hard. The moment the mink brought up his state of living, it was as though Xulu himself had escaped his state of mind. Instead of crossing his arms he places both of his hands on his chest in a crossed postion. He closes his eyes then opens them to look back at Phantom and Taura.

"I.. I can't die.. Numen.. He revived me, that isn't possible.." Xulu places his fingers on his temple causing his hood to fall, revealing a long dark almost blacked red comb over kind of hairstyle. His hair was unkempt, grays could be seen at the side from either stress or sickness.

"I-I feel fine.. How can I be dying..?" Xulu's eyes fill with anger as he enters a state of being in denial. "Lies! Damn it you're lying! You've no right to tell me I'm dying, let alone understand what death is! You're the spawn of Numen, sent to destroy me either by crushing my spirit or crushing my bones. I will not fail this planet, this universe.. All because some disgusting pathetic mortal told me my state of living was in peril!" He moves closer to Phantom, getting ready to attack the mink, but he doesn't.

Xulu stops, reflecting on the past situation with Moya. If he had struck at Phantom he'd be no better than Moya, let alone he'd lack any form of reasoning to do so. The mink was honest with him, he knew she had no reason to pull a trick.

Xulu backs away from Phantom immediately. Gases cover his body again and looks at the mink with a somber expression.

"How.. How can you sense the dead..? Please tell me this is a horrible lie.. I-I've not even begun on my journey.. No.." Xulu shakes his head.

"Lead me to Numen, lead him to me now damn it! I will ring his neck and slaughter him for all he's done. He's sent my team on a suicide mission, all of them turned into savages of what they formerly were.. He.. He must die!" Xulu says with passion beaming in his voice.

The bird paces back and forth and stops, he is deeply reflecting on his situation. Xulu almost forgot a key part of Phantom's expression of the truth. It was the fact that they know Numen and the fact that they must be on the island searching for the voice of spirits. Once coming to that conclusion Xulu stops pacing and eerily turns to Phantom. At this point it would strike the mink that Xulu was losing his sanity slowly.

"You two, you're after the voice of spirits.." He says slowly. A look of aggrivation overtook Xulu's face, the girls had best come to a conclussion to either calm or defeat Xulu before things got out of hand.
