RPG Betrayal of the Knife [M-LVS]

[Kuroshin13]

All agreed to help out those they could in the village, it didn't take an exceptionally long amount of time before they arrived to the burning city. Villagers rushed about with buckets of water, others cried out worries about their relatives, others worked hard to treat the already injured. The smoke aggravated Devlin's lungs significantly, and he coughed up a minor amount of blood onto the road.
[COLOR=Teal]"I'll help with the water,"[/COLOR] he volunteered while making his way over toward the well.

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=Purple]In the burning town, Cosain really didn?t know what to do at first. Her alchemy was far too slow to be of use in this frenzied situation and the Shield didn?t look like it would be much help either. Slinging the Shield over her back Cosain rushed around looking for people who might be trapped and leading disoriented survivors away from the smoldering buildings.

She spied two little girls huddled together in the doorway of a building that had finished burning. ?Come here,? Cosain called out as she ran to them, ?It?s not safe to be under there.?

Too frightened to move, the little girls merely stared at her. They didn?t even realize when fire-weakened house suddenly gave way. Cosain would never reach them in time to save them from the falling wood, but in a pure gut reaction Cosain cast a spell to form a barrier around the girls. As soon as she finished the spell, the house collapsed on top of them.

Cosain reached the pile of rubble. One of the girls was sobbing and the other was calling for help. ?Are you hurt?? Cosain asked, pulling off debris.

?N-no?? one of the girls managed, ?There?s a shiny wall around us.?

Cosain?s spell had made it in time. She was somewhat amazed. Never had she been able to cast something so quickly. And it hadn?t vanished yet either. Could it be that the Shield amplified the abilities she already had? Cosain would have to think on that later. No matter how strong her spell was, I was only temporary. It could dissipate any moment and leave the girls crushed beneath the collapsing wood. Cosain worked as quickly as she could, but she would surely need some help.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[SIZE=1]"Don't get to close to the fires!" Fay said to some of the villagers as she splashed water at one burning building.
"Get into a group each have one burning building. I'm not one to give command but this way it be much faster...." Fay really didn't trust herself that much. How can the villagers even trust her if she didn't trust herself. Fay coughed from getting to close from the smoke. A little girl pulled on her skirt. Fay turned her around and looked at the little girl.
"My cat.." The little girl sniffled
"What?" Fay looked at her with confusion.
"My cat is trap there.." The little girl started whaling and crying. A moew can be heard from the roof top of the burining building.
"MY CAT!" The girl stopped crying and looked at the roof top.
"You must be joking?" Fay scratched her head. Well she had to help the litttle cat to not hear the cries of the little girl. Fay grabbed a rope and made a loop out of it. She created a lasso and desisted to play cowgirl.
"Okay this probaly get her out. Well maybe the wisest thing to do is not always so rational.." Fay swinged the rooped around her head and throwed it to the cat. It didn't try around it.
"TRY AGAIN!" The girl cried
"Yes i will..." Fay tried again and the rope caught around the cats waist. She yanked the rope hard to pull the cat off the roof making sure she didn't hurt the poor thing. The cat fell to the ground on its feet and crawled up to the girls leg. Great that probaly the only story heroic she tell her father. That she saved a little girls cat, yeah she can hear him now.[/SIZE]

Denna felt herself imersed in the fire. Her body felt the need to ravage someone's blood other than her own. Her touge swept across her teeth as she felt the hard canine like teeth prick her skin. She swallowed hard and tasted the metallic oral rush of her own macabre blood. She remembered hwo she had shaved the teeth into two perfect points. She loved how the people screamed as her scythe buried itself into the flesh and she herself ripped with those pointed canines at the soft flesh of her prey. Her eyes darted around searching for the one she had seen earlier. A cunning little thief had caught her eye but it was what was held within her hand that was Denna's desire. Denna heard the murmur of something alive. Gritting her teeth she unstrapped the Sycthe the black blade making her readjust her footing. Denna's feet slid across the ash as a devilish smile creased across her pale face. Her two crimson bangs fell into her eyes as her brow narrowed in concentration.

"This is it" she whispered her body arched with the intent, the intent to destroy all that this living being had. She stepped forward and glowered as the blade swept across the air hopefully she would feel her urge subside with the death of this being.

"Who are you" she rasped. her voice lustrous and velvet, but covered in a slick hateful desire.
She waited hoping that whoever spoke would anger her and let her sycthe, the Reaper take home his soul.

Varyl counted out all of the dogs; there were 10 in all, enough to scour the entire town of every living thing.
Varyl made a low whistle and each dog ran off into the night to exterminate anyone and everyone they encountered.
A giggle escaped from her lips which erupted into a burst of maniacal laughter that rang in the night like the peals of hell's bells.
When she finished her insane laughter, she cried out in a mock-frightened voice, "Oh, those good-doers are gonna catch me for sure!"
Then her voice suddenly became laced with malice and rage that seemed to resonate from the Knife instead of Varyl, "Mark my words! The Sword, the Shield, the Horn, and the Scroll, all of them, will all die by the Knife before this is over!"
With that, Varyl moved through the town to watch her canine minions do her bidding.

Joshua was going around helping people trapped under debris when he saw Cosain working to save two llittle girls. He [font="]immediately realized that she was having trouble and went to help her. When he got to her the shiny wall that had been holding up what was left of the smoldering doorway started to flicker and dissipated.
The only thing he had time to say before he braced himself to catch what he could of the falling wood was, "Shit."
As the closest beam over his head started to connect with his shoulders he spread his arms to ballance the beam on his shoulders, once that beam connected with him he felt a lot more weight follow it as the rest of it fell. As he was forced to his knees he felt the still smoldering wood start to burn into his flesh.
He looked over to Cosain and said in a strangled voice, "Get them out of here. Quickly!"
As she started to get the children out of harms way he could feel his burnt muscles start to give way and he thought, [i]Is this it? Am I to die here?
[/i]As this thought crossed his mind his muscles started to give completely and hoped that someone would rescue him...

[Noir_vagabond]

Here the Scythe finally connected and what looked like the head of a young boy rolled across the floor. Blood dripped from the black curved blade. Her lips formed a sneer as her body hunched over and took what she could off the dead body. It was nothing much just a love letter to some random girl and a few gold. Finally after she desecrated the body she got up and turned on her heel making a quick turn to leave the small area in which the dead boy had seen his last views of hope. Shrugging her shoulders, Denna sighed in a little bit of annoyance, she had hoped that the dead one would have carried more but that was the luck of the draw.
"What a shitty Draw"
she caught herself mumbling as a few hounds ran past her. One of the dogs looked at her face and growled showing it's large canines. Denna let out a chuckle and whispered to the hound
" Professional Courtesy?"
Then growled at the dog. The dog howled in fright and shuttered walking a step backwards it's tail between it's legs. Denna looked up and caught a perfect view of the leader of the pack and grinned. She then lowered her body in the form of a stride to pick up pace as she raced after the woman in the background

"Wonderful!...Another whom shall grant me laughter at her mangled body"
And then Denna was gone..chasing after darkness.

[COLOR=Purple][FONT=Times New Roman]Cosain ushered the little girls away from the collapsed building and then turned her attention back to Joshua. He was straining just to keep the debris from collapsing on top of him. If it fell?

It was because her shield wasn?t strong enough?
If someone didn?t help him?

Immediately Cosain attempted a spell to hold the beam back, but it dissipated before it could even fully form. Had she used up her power already? No, she refused to accept that. She cast the spell again. It failed again. Why? Why wasn?t it working? She was the Shield. How could she fail like this? If no one saved him, Joshua would die.

Cosain cast the spell again, and this time, it worked. In a flash of light the spell held back the weight of the beam and Joshua stumbled out from beneath the wreckage. As soon as he was clear Cosain let shield go and ran to him. She threw her arms tightly around him and just stayed like that.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[hugoxx]

Joshua stood there, Cosain holding him, then put his arms around her. He stood there awkwardly, he never knew what to say in situations like this, so instead of saying something and makeing himself look like a fool, he kept silent.
As he stood there he remembered his burnt shoulders when a fresh wave of pain went through him, causing him to flinch.
The Sword began to vibrate at his side, he reached down to his side with his left hand and kept his right arm around Cosain. When he touched the hilt of The Sword all the pain in his body left him, though it didn't heal him, he now felt nothing of the burns. He looked up from The Sword to meet Cosains eyes, and cocked an eyebrow in confusion, and said, "The pain's gone, but the burns aren't healed. I guess that means The Sword intends to make me a protecter even if it means my death."

[Hayama]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=Purple]Eventually Cosain realized that she was hugging a guy she had met only about a day ago. ?It took away the pain but not the injuries? That?s?? Cosain took her Shield off of her back and looked at it carefully. ?I suppose it?s true? our purpose is to protect our kingdom. These items aren?t tools for us, we?re tools for them.?

She looked at Joshua and frowned. ?I?m sorry for acting so?? she realized she didn?t even know how to explain. ?I was afraid you would die. Because of me no less. Regardless of our duty, I refuse to let anyone die. You should really have something done about those wounds. I think most of the people have gotten to safety so??

And then Cosain saw it? the massive dog?s eyes locked with hers and it bared its teeth.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Latharix_sama]

Varyl shuddered. She felt like she was being followed. She shrugged off the paranoia, but then the feeling got stronger. She stopped running, letting the dogs that ran with her go their own ways. They had already killed many with her supervising, and they could certainly do it on their own.
She stood with her back to the stalker. And then she opened her blood-red lips and asked in a sing-song voice, "Who~ are~ youuuu~?"
"And why are you following me?" Varyl hissed as she turned around.

[SIZE=1]Fay pulled out a handkerchief. She wiped the soot, dirt, and sweat of her face. She was completely tired. Her breath was heavy and her bones felt weak. Yet she told herself not to give up. She must keep going the others where doing just as hard and she didn?t want to be the weak link.
She hoped the others were doing okay. Fay got a water bin and splashed at the burning building. She moved to get more water from the well. She turned around and a big dog blocked her way. Fay smiled weakly at it. The dog looked innocent enough. The dog?s eyes meet with Fay?s and started viciously growling at her. Fay smile quickly faded. She thought it was a good time to run right about now. Yet her legs stood still and her body wouldn?t move. Fay cursed at herself harshly.[/SIZE]

[hugoxx]

Joshua heard a low growl come from behind him. He turned as quickly as he could and caught site of a massive dog leaping at him. He had just enough time to throw a left hook as he spun around and caught the dog in the jaw. There was an audible crack as it's jaw broke, but to Joshua's surprise, it got back up and ran at him again. This time Joshua was prepared. The Sword flashed out, and with a wet thud, the dogs head hit the ground. When the dogs head hit the ground he remembered the other dog that was facing Cosain. He Turned as fast as he could for a second time today, and saw the dog rushing her...

[Noir_vagabond]

Denna cracked her neck and let out a small chuckle. The woman who had hissed clearly was not ready to meet the reaper herself. Denna slowed her walk to a casual stroll and lowered her Scythe to the ground in a poised attack position. Her voice was a soft velvet as she spoke with supreme cruelty.

" I am the one who calls upon death...I am Denna Killswitch, and I have come to reap whatever you have to offer, Unless you can give reason to join your bloodthristy slaughter, And yes, If you wish my aid in the destruction of mankind I am up for the challange!"

Denna pulled herself into the darkness and held her scythe close to her heart the blade almost seeming alive with the intensity to massacre anything that was sacred, to perform sacrilege against the almighty life. Denna smiled and awaited the one who had called upon her, the one of trial and terror, the one had visted death and requested her name, the one who had called upon Denna herself.

[Latharix_sama]

Varyl laughed. She bent over and clutched her stomach. Once she regained her breath, she smiled evily and stated, "My name is Varyl, the Knife. It would be very foolish of you to battle me, so put down your scythe, child."
"You and me....we're aren't too different. Let's join each other in the quest for the pain and agony of others."
She held out her hand to Denna, then giggled maliciously, "Let's be partners in crime!"

[Noir_vagabond]

Denna looked at the hand and grinned. Her face contorted into a thousand slivers of hatred and turmoil. A kindred soul, a little to kindred for her taste. Grabbing varyl's hand she made sure her prescence was known. She pulled Varyl near her and smiled showing those shaved teeth.

"Why not..I could always use a little competition.."

With that she jammed her knee into Varyl's sternum and let her fall to the ground a sick chuckle rising from her voice.

"Ah, we shall be companions for now, but mark my words when the bounty comes you die"

[Latharix_sama]

Varyl waited for the pain to pass and bolted behind Denna, then pushed her against the outer wall of the nearest house. She pressed the tip of the Knife against the nape of her neck.
"Ha! Fool! I told you that I was not to be reckoned with!"
She pushed the Knife against Denna's neck until the skin broke. She withrew the blade and licked the blood that pooled in the shallow wound.
She then hissed into her ear, darting her tongue against the lobe, "I don't think that it shall be me who dies in the end."
She released Denna from her grip.
"Next time I'll slit the backs of your knees."
She walked off in the direction the dogs had gone.

[Noir_vagabond]

Denna watched Varyl walk away from the area in which she had her neck embraced with the cruel sweetness of pain. She ran her fingers across her neck and embraced the longing of pain as the blood slid down her fingers she pulled the red tipped nail to her lips tasting the sensational metallic blood that was wrenched from her body. She climbed ontop of a small pile of rubble following her new found friend from the rooftops when she noticed that Varyl had stopped she jumped down and ran a finger down varyls spine.

"Nice meeting you again "friend"...I do hope you understand my lust to destroy you"

[Latharix_sama]

Varyl scoffed.
"Blah, blah, blah! You talk too much, you know? My dogs will get upset if I don't watch them maime! So come on!"
She walked into the house to her right. She could hear the screams rising into the night. She shuddered with pleasure. She ran to be beside the dog inside and helped him with her bare hands to rip apart the young couple who resided there.
When the deed was done, she looked up at Denna and grinned like a child who was covered in mud, intead of a young woman splattered in blood and gore.
She then ran out into the street with the dog and skipped to the next house. She stopped at the doorway and waited for Denna to follow.
When Denna caught up, Varyl brought her inside the house.
The family of four inside were still asleep, despite all the noise.
"Let's take care of these, and then I want to enlighten you about what exactly you've gotten yourself into."

[Noir_vagabond]

Denna grinned and brought forth her Scythe spinning it like a mere pinwheel rather than the heavy blade that it was. She danced with the blade as it sliced into the family of four she held her scythe down into one of the four the woman it looked to be and pulled out the ribcage that looked to be hanging off the tip of the scythe's blade. Her back arched and on one scream she yelled in euphoria her body quaking in the extasy of death. She then turned to Varyl and whispered in a sultry tone

" I think I am begining to like you enough that your death will be quick and painless..."


Denna then wiped the blood from her cheeks and let the blood that remained there filter into her mouth.

"as I have said before, I am death incarnate.."

[Hayama]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=Purple]The dog was a massive, brutal-looking creature. It took one look at Cosain and ran at her, jaws open. Cosain froze as the snarling creature hurtled towards her. She didn?t know what to do. Her magic power was long-spent with all the shield spells she had created, but what she really needed most right now was a shield.

The dog was closing in when Cosain got an idea? she reached into her pocket and drew forth a small vial. Just as the dog leapt into the air to attack her she twisted off the cap and splashed the vial?s contents into the dog?s face. It let out a sharp whimper and missed Cosain as she stepped out of the way.

When the beast landed it continued to snarl and whimper, rubbing its face frantically with its paws and against the ground. It was no challenge for Joshua to walk up and drive his sword through the disoriented animal.

?What was that?? Joshua asked.

Cosain closed the now empty vial carefully and placed it back into her pocket. ?Highly concentrated muriatic acid? It?s very potent? My father?s an alchemist and it is a very useful chemical? for other things besides blinding dogs.?[/COLOR][/FONT]
