"Yeah but everything's okay, Plus she had you as a cushion"
Levin said as he smirked feeling somewhat victorious as he held his baby sister in his arms, of course at this point she would be crying loudly so he was doing his best to calm her down.
"Okay new deal you can have your sister but you let me walk away What do you say sounds really good" Moxie begged.
"not lot of chance, first off You were stealing my sister, second off You're using illegal powerful magic, third off you're a mutt" Levin said.
"Okay I understand two of those things but the last one, come on, I know you dogs don't like catfolk but do you really have to call us mutts" Moxie said.
"Oh no my best friend's a cat folk I'm saying You are a mutt, a mixed breed perhaps" Levin replied.
"What!? Well if that's the case that's news to me" Moxie spoke.
"Anyway I'm going to have to take you in.
Just have to make sure you get proper punishment" Levin said.
There was a dry feeling in the air as a blue spark of energy could be seen bubbling in the air. As a walk individual walked through the nearly formed magical rift. The figure was surrounded in shadows, and wearing what seemed to be a heavy cloak. Heavy sunken in eyes, sharp yellow teeth and a slight crimson tint could be seen coming off its face. The individual was like a whisperer, being here but distant to see and hear. The whisper lurked its head around, staring blankly and plainly towards the child and then slowly tilting its head over towards Moxie and then back towards the child.
"What the hell is that thing!"
Levin yelled.
"oh you've come to pick up the target here and get me out of here how kind, even though You look really disgusting right now Plus I don't think this is part of the deal"
Moxie said
"No it was not,"
the whisper softly said.
"So that thing is your Ally!?!"
Levin Yelled angrily.
"No I am not" The whisper replied.
"What do you mean you're not You hired me for the job with some of the others that man in the white you and him hired me"
Moxie said
"You are precise, but we never planned on paying you."
The whisper vocalized.
"But.. you said you could help me and my brother you promised."
Moxie cried out.
"Obviously whatever this thing is can't be trusted and it won't matter because I'm going to stop it" Levin announced.
The whisper slowly reached for the child, shadow looking tentacles grasping the child's face as Levin went to slash down with his sword vigorously however he was immediately slammed back by one of the shadowy tentacles causing him to fall backwards onto the ground hitting like a rock. Blue sparks zipped off of Moxie as she channeled some kind of magic in her leg that she didn't struggle to stand up as her damaged leg was now completely gold.
"Well now I just can't possibly let you get this child unfortunately, You don't double cross me"
Moxie said As she gently jumped and grabbed a child rolling backwards elegantly and gently as the whisper now had an annoyed expression on its face.
The whisper snarled as shadows wrapped around Moxie slowly cutting into her like a sharp blade. Moxie cried out as she felt the sharp pains pushing into her sides.
"You're more interesting than I thought"
the whisper mentioned.
"Yeah, that's why you shouldn't have crossed me"
Moxie replied as she spit out a stain of red crimson.
Levin stood back up, in a fit of rage he screamed pure nothingness, Just rage.
"You'll never take my sister!"
Levin yelled with nothing but passion behind his vocals.
"You are a bother, a small ant trying to take down the bigger beast just lay down and die."
The whisper replied, with a soft but bitter tone.
"Look I know you might not trust me but I don't think we can take down whatever that thing is."
Moxie declared, as she was doing nothing but trembling shaking feeling a deep amount of fear something felt off to her deep down she knew there's no way they could even win even running would be nearly impossible but it's all they could do, at this point she was Just trying to get this individual to calm down and try to understand the situation.
"Shut the hell up, This is all your fault, You're the one who kidnapped her in the first place leading to this You have no right to speak you hybrid freak."
Levin screamed out, as his vocals trembled slightly he was afraid but he couldn't back down for the sake of his sister.
"Oh how riveting, You really think you can win or at least convincing yourself as such admirable adorable in fact when I gut you and leave you for the bystanders to see the crowd like vultures excited to see something new I'll leave your bones chewed out and I'll probably display your head on a spike neatly pressed as it should be You insufferable swine."
The whisper remarked, with a somber icy tone in a way more matter of fact than anything said calmly and presented rationally the words were heavy and to be taken with significance.
"You can speak all you want, but the ability to speak doesn't make you intelligent, it doesn't show for your strength your wisdom your power, You can be the most elegant speaker you can scare and frighten me all you want but actions matter more than your words"
Levin said as there was a tremble in his voice a slow and long hesitation before he spoke he struggled to get his words out his mouth felt dry as he spoke but he had to get them out he needed more than anything to speak freely.
Moxie clinched her leg. She knew she couldn't hold out for much longer. She was forcing her leg to work trying to push through the pain, but there's nothing she could do other than run.
"Look I understand You don't trust me, but you're going to die I'm going to die and your sister will die if we don't retreat, look I fully understand what I was doing was despicable, I didn't want to do it myself but I had to more than anything for something greater than myself please listen to me I know you don't want to run away but you have have to,for something greater than yourself please."
Moxie pleaded.
"You have no pride, if you want then take her and get the hell out of my sight!"
Levin yelled as the whisper brought down a shadowy tendril that Levin doged The tendril crashed into the ground crushing the grass ripping it apart immediately.
"Aww how adorable you're gonna let your little girlfriend run away, how honorable. The whisper teased.
"Will you shut the hell up? You don't get to speak for anything, that criminal is nothing to me, she's nothing but a good for nothing thief worse than so but unfortunately you made me work with that rapscallion, So damn you!"
Levin shouted.
Moxies face was a mix of red and a mix of anger she's a smart girl she could easily put two and two together Levin was trying to piss her off he wanted her to flee but if she did he would probably die, but what does it matter to her What does any of this matter she can just leave leave the child behind and get the hell out of here.
"But my brother wouldn't like that he would want me to help"
Moxie thought to herself.
Moxie had a plan, if she's going to stay and help she's going to make sure she does it right, the first part of her plan was in motion, she just had to touch Levin and her plan would be fully successful. So she dashes towards him hoping to get close however she might have been too late just a few seconds late in fact, as multiple tendrils erupted out of the whisper and pierced Levin they created a beautiful crimson rain as Levin crashed to the ground.
