the crow was back..he sat atop a market stall.. looking for the next item needed..his navy and emerald eyes scanned the vendors...when a noise caught his attention.
A gray and black dragon would be raising hell in the market, setting shops ablaze with her master perched on a rooftop behind her, His white eyes gleaming in satisfaction.
"Good... very good Olpanu! Deliver me my delicious souls!"
Sarth paced back and forth on the roof. He could sense them now- unfortunate souls killed by His pet and falling into His clawed grasp to do His bidding for the rest of time. Sarth would leap down hungrily, devouring the crisy flesh of those who were just barely alive at this point.
Olpanu would continue despite the sorrow in her orange-yellow eyes, until the deed had been done. She sat down in the middle of the mess she had caused with her head down, shutting out the noise of Sarth going to town on all the poor victims she killed. She couldn't even face him.
pox watched the pair set the market a blaze... He spots a cage near a exotic animal stall...twin serpents...he swoops down..growing to eagle size and clenches the sepent cage in his talons before taking off again over the dark smoke rising..
Sarth would watch the crow He recognized, looking up to watch it fly away with a cage containing serpents in its talons.
"I suppose the witch is back at it again," He rumbled through a mouthful of flesh. "It would be interesting to see what she's up to."
A faint, hollowed shriek of a soul being absorbed into Sarth's red-black galaxy would break the silence, followed by the pained cries of more.
Olpanu would just shrug her shoulders, twisting and morphing her inky body back into her original self and trying to hide her shame and guilt.
"Well, we got something we wanted didn't we? More souls for your game... or whatever you intend to do with your army..."
She averted her gaze to the ground as Sarth looked back at her with a soulless stare that made her shiver.
Pox returned and began to watch from his perch in a nearby tree... listening around...another bring speaks:
"..its back.."
Luke stands there rubbing his hand over the crystal on the outside of his shirt..
Moi asks : who's back, the bird?
pox lowers getting ready to take flight at them.
goddamn- she sighs, shaking her head as she hears the crow has returned.
pox let's a loud caw out... summoning nearby crows to drive down through the camp in a black fethered wave..each cawing and pecking at everyone near.
The being named stealth...starts to catch fire and burned the excess birds. pox knew about a possible fire handler amongst them..he stayed above the flock as it burned. He did a quick swoop around the camp then headed to the woods.
Moi sighs, watching the two boys act like animals and she looks up at the bird ..poor thing
Soon..The shadowy man would manifest at the main camp, where He sensed a substantial number of targets. He wouldn't let Himself be noticed, only watching the group. He noticed the vampire He had manipulated into going feral before, and two males that accompanied her. He sensed resentment in one, towards the other two, and the gears in Sarth's head began to turn.
Sarth would begin to enter the mind of Stealth, getting a read of his emotions.
"You like that girl, don't you?" His voice would sound curious and younger, as if He was mimicking Stealth's inner voice.
Stealth in his mind replies: ".. yes.."
"You won't win her over with him in the way, especially if they share a child together..."
Sarth observed, referring to the man named Luke.
Stealth replies telepathically : "..but if i hurt him i could lose her or if i hurt the child.."
Luke has the crystal around his neck over his shirt in view..
"That crystal around Luke's neck contains the soul of their child. They plan to use it to bring back their son. If you somehow snuck it away from them without them noticing..." Earth starts saying to him.
how can i do that? Stealth asks..filling a bit worried.
"Perhaps I could cause a little commotion..."
Luke would feel prick him slightly, and blood began to drip from his nose. It wouldn't be noticeable at first, until it began coming out faster and in larger amounts. The iron scent of it would be almost overwhelming as Sarth prevented the blood from clotting, letting it continuously drip from his nose.
Moi's eyes would widen, in the middle of her sentence talking about the shoes and she covers her nose- turning her back to luke as she tries to move away "..the fuck..- "
Luke looks over to her unaware of the blood till he notices it trying to cover it up with his hands, it's not stopping!
get away-! she leaps over the log, scrambling to move from him..moire shouts towards Luke.
he pulls up the bottom of his shirt trying to soak up the blood looking over to
"moi, whys it doing this?" Luke would ask her trying to stop the blood.
" dont fucking look at me! "-
she yells at him, trying to control her own urges. It's been a few days since shes feed and she shivers
"..Stealth help him out-"
Sarth would continue to do this, also trying to pull Moire closer with the iron smell while preventing Luke from clotting his nose.
" Moi,... "Luke says scared
he looks over to her with his blood dripping a bit worried,
" I can't move my arms.."
G-Goddamn it Luke-! she snaps, twisting upright as her eyes cloud and move into a deep red state- her canines extending a bit as she swoops in on him. She bites at his shirt first, since the blood was pool onto there and she'd latch on..
What's wrong, he says as she comes towards him and starts to bite the shirt looking down at her confused and scared at the look in her eyes.
Moi looks up at him from his lap, hissing as she, in one swift motion, ripped his shirt as she had clamped down on it with her canines. She pants as she spits out whatever was left of his shirt on the ground next to her.
he tries to move away or even move his hands as he's pulled forwards a bit,
"..are you ok?" he asks knowing the obvious answer.
Stealth tells Earth: " don't want to get her love like that .."
Sarth would keep Luke still, hoping to continue to cause blood to spurt from his nose and entice Moire's feral side quicker.
"Well, with Luke out of the way she would have nothing."
" I don't get .. out of my head..!" Stealth mentally demands as he falls to his knees.
Luke stands there unable to move just dead still bleeding... terrified thoughts race in his mind.
Moi..completey unable to control hereself...let's out a loud cry, as she digs her canines directly into his neck.
pox got a dark presence sensed other than that of his mistress and flew back to the camp to see the chaotic display
He would hear Sarth laugh a bit, turning to His shadow self and snatching the necklace with the crystal off Luke's neck, whisking off back to the falls.
"Fool."
Sarth had already vanished with the crystal, only an empty chain in his hand as Stealth made a weak attempt to grab the crystal.
Sarth would manifest back to the falls back to Olpanu. pox sees the shadow disappear with the gem so he flutters off to tell the witch at her home.
mikki walks into the camp n sees blood everywhere. She shoves moire aside n gets Luke. She shifts to her wyvern n carries him to the medical center. Stealth tackled feral Moore down and began to calm her from her blood frenzy state.
