RPG Vampire slayers[M-VSL]

[monipo1928]

I ran franticly through the graveyard looking for a way to escape. They were right behind me now and i knew what they wanted.They wanted me dead. They were vampire slayers and were out to kill me because i had been the one who had first been sent out in search of the victim. I ran around a corner and found the way out. It was the circle of rethlehim.

"Come on i think she went this way!" I heard one of the shout.

I stepped into the circle and shouted, "Designation 01800"

Just as they ran up i dissapeared in a burst of blue flames. WHen i appeared in my disination i ran into the darkness that had engulfed me. Soon i was in a stone room with a fire flickering in the middle. There was a shadowy figure standing in the flickering light of the flames and i shouted at him.

"Why the hell did you do that Scarlet?" I shouted at the black figure.

"Do what?" The figure that was obviously scarlet asked me.

"Lead me into this mess!The vampire slayers almost killed me!" I shouted in anger and frustation and the only way i knew how to show it was throw things.So i threw a rock and it hit scarlet square in the head.She flew back into the wall and landed on the ground with a loud thud.

"Sister!" I screamed running up to her.I helped her up and she steadied herself.

"You are the one" She muttered.

"What?" I asked now confused about what she had said.

"You are the one destined to destroy the vampire slayers and restore this world back to the way it was before they came into our universe. The way when vampire's could live in peace with demons skye" Scarlet said hugging me.

"But your more expeirenced then me!Your 31 and im only 21!" I said as i slid down the wall and sat down.

"Sister you have to do this!I have summoned some other vampires to help you in this quest. It will be a long and hard quest and i do not expect you to come back alive but if you do i want you to know that i will be waiting. If you dont i want you to know that i love you sister" She said before i went on my way to my room.

I was sitting in my room when i heard a noise coming from outside. I went to look and i found that there was a demon. He krept closer as i backed up against the stone wall of the house. I almost let a scream escape my lips when i saw that this was a vampire slayer.

"SO you guys finally found out how to work the circle of rethlehim huh?" I asked slowly putting my hand on my swords handle.

"Yeah and now its time for you to die" It spoke and came running towards me.I was ready. With a quick flick of my wrist i had my sword out and was charging at the demon. I let a battle cry escape from my mouth and slashed through the demons. Moments later i was greeted by a vampire who seemed to take an interest in me...

[Cicatrice Du Adieu]

Forlorn sat in a tree in central park. She gave a silent yawn and jumped down, her scythe in hand. She yawned again showing sharp canine teeth. Her ears flicked backward. She was tired but sleep seemed impossible for her tonight. She reached the park exit and left into the dark streets of New York.

It was dark, perhaps midnight. All the thugs, gangsters, drug dealers, druggies and drunks were out. A few hookers looked at her strangely. They turned their heads pretending not to stare but Forlorn Knew they were transfixed with her. Every other rapscalion in the streets looked at her the same way. Intrigue. Fear. Curiousity. It was all written on their faces.

She Sighed and leaned against a building. She slid ans hugged her knees. She looked around silently. Across the street she saw a poeple pass. She watched for about ten minutes before getting bored. She sighjed and looked at a woman passing. She stared and the women fell to her knees screaming, bloody-mary, She clentched her head and and curled into a feetle position. Her eyes widened and her pupils dialated. Poeple paassing her glanced but only assumed she was another drugie having issues. She sat silently curled on the ground. Forlorn laughed and stood walking away from the tramatized women.

She glanced backward feeling eyes on her. Not the normal stare, either. She saw a man looking at her. Forlorn hastened her pace, turning a corner and leaving the street into a Tavern.

She sat down and looked around. The waitor looked at her. He wasn't suprised but handled her cautiously.

"Can I help ya', miss?"

"Bud light." She spoke without moving her lips, transferring the words to his mind.

"Right away miss." He left to fetch her beer.

[The Enemy]

Zak was walking the streets of new York with ghostly silence. Soon though, however, was his sweet lack of noise interrupted. He was forced to over hear a commotion about two streets over. He changed his path to see what it was that had so abruptly tore down his peace and quiet.

When he arrived he saw a woman screaming on the street. He knew something was direly wrong with her. Not just an O.D. but something more. He glanced around the area and spotted a dog-like demon girl staring strangely at the woman. She was the only one who bothered keep a straight stare for more than a second or two.

He could also sense some sort of connection between the dog girl and the screamer. Which especially made it's mark, as the girl started to walk away and the woman returned to normal. Zak decided to follow the dog girl in secret, but his plans were once again changed when she quickly spotted him and tried to lose him.

She made a decent attempt to lose him or make it seem he shouldn't try anything, by going into a bar just around a corner. Zak still followed. He entered the bar shortly after the girl and sat down a few stools away. She and him were now only separated by an empty stool and a half passed-out drunk next to her.

Zak briefly sensed the same connection the girl had, had with the woman. But this time it was between her and the bartender. Zak saw no motion of her lips but the barman still responded "right away miss" as if being asked an order. He quickly fetched her a bottle of bud light and walked over to Zak to get his order.

Zak glared grimly at the bar man with his inhuman blue eyes. The cold stare struck the mans consciousness like a dagger threw his heart. Instantly the bar man fled to the back room of the bar, and was only later seen when poking his head out of the door to check if Zak was still there. And that was quickly followed by a dart back into the room once he confirmed a split second of eye contact with Zak himself.

[Cicatrice Du Adieu]

Forlorn saw the man a chair away from her. She turned her head from him. He was the same person who'd spotted her before. And now he was next to her, close enough to kill her. His stare was cold even if it was from the corner of his eyes. It made her uneasy.

"Do you wish for Death?" The words rang in his heads. "Why do you torment me with your stare? Why do you seek my presence? Answer me at ONCE!!!" Thye last words howled in his mind, making him cringe.

"I wish only to speak with you." He said in a Too-formal tone.

His voice made her uneasy. She tried hard not to show her uncomfort. It failed.

"I don't want to know." She transferred to hm. She stood and left, clutching her scythe hard. Shivers ran down her spine. She knew it wasn't the last of him she would see. She knew he would follow her. She just wanted to avoid him for the time being.

[The Enemy]

Zak was even more interested in the girl than before. He now knew the nature of her link between people, it was some kind of telepathic power. He could now defend against it. After she left he suddenly got up and walked after her. The bar man did his usual glance of the room and seeing an empty seat where Zak was, he returned to his normal duties.

Zak walked out of the tavern and just barely caught a glimpse of the girls arm and scythe handle as she walked around the corner. He followed after her with a hastened pace and saw her back as she turned yet another corner. He sighed knowing she was going to keep just out of his reach.

Then he took a deep breath and vanished into a creepy sooty smoke. He reappeared seconds later of a rooftop, looking down at the dog girl, who he noticed to be looking over her shoulder repeatedly. He tilted his head slightly and smiled, revealing oddly pointed teeth. Then he leapt from one building top to another then another, all with ease.

Finally he took a step off the roof he was on and fell straight to the cement sidewalk below. He landed in front of the girl he sought to talk to, and only landed as hard as a human would from falling a foot or two. The girl stopped in her tracks and drew her scythe into a defensive stance. Whether on purpose or by instinct Zak knew not, but either way he found it amusing that she wished to fight before talk.

Perhaps she didn't know what he was. He looked mainly like any normal human. And Zak knew she had powers and abilities far beyond a human herself. SO maybe she thought she could defeat him with ease. It would be an interesting fight to be sure.

David wandered up to his master's side, holding a tray of snacks. "are these to your liking?" he asked, hoping he would not have to remake them. he loved his life, make no mistake of that, but the snacks where particularly hard to make, and could take hours just to get them right. David waited patiently for his master's answers.

[monipo1928]

Rei tasted the tray of snacks and took a moment to answer. "Yes they are to my liking" Was what he replied coldly.He suddenely sensed another vampire and stood up and swiftly moved out of the room. "Come on there is another vampire nearby" He said as if acid hit his tongue.He was suddenly in the streets of new york and passed a girl and a man who seemed to be about to fight. He looked in their direction and sensed the vampire slayers in both of them. He quickly walked into the shadows with david trailing behind him.

[YoukaiAlchemist]

"Is there something special about them, master?" David asked, glancing at the two. "Should we be weary of them?" David had never been good at telling friends from foes at first glance. When it came to people his master kept an eye on, it was even harder.

[monipo1928]

"Yes.They are vampire slayers so stay away from them. I am a vampire like others and they are out to slay us" Rei said walking swiftly in the shadows.Soon he was in an area not familiar to david.He stepped out of the shadows to see a young vampire that looked about to be in her 20's.Rei approached the girl with david still trailing behind him looking around cautously.

[YoukaiAlchemist]

David shuddered. Hadn't people like that killed his family? He hated them, and feared them. "Who are we seeing, Master?" he asked, "A friend? Or a busyness partner?" The surroundings made him cautious, and the nervousness on his masters face scared him more than the two in the street.

[Cicatrice Du Adieu]

Forlorn stood in a defensive postion for a long time, Trying to read his Body language. After a while she gave and tryed to "speak to him". He easily blocked her attempt. She sensed his power. She wasn't stupid nor irrational. She wanted escape. She again tryed to creep into his mind to tweak the way the light came into his brain but when she tryed he sent it back ten times harder.

It was a direct hit. She cringed and fell backwards, grabbing her temples. Her scythe hit the floor followed by herself. She banced out due to the blow. Zak Walked closer to her. He crouched down and inspected her. She wasn't dead,yet. Zak thought about killing her to eliminate a potential threat but the more he looked at her the more lust overwhelmed him. He picked her up, bridal style, and sought a place to stay.

[The Enemy]

Zak carried The girl for about half an hour before he saw a drunk looking man. The stumbling man was fiddling with a pair of keys, trying to open a small apartment.Zak tilted his head slightly and let loose a cruel grin. The words "Blöthr hjarta." hissed from his lips, and the man fell to the ground gripping his chest. Within seconds the man was dead.

Zak walked over the man and extended his wrist towards the locked door. "Jierda" said Zak. The lock smashed through to the other side of the door. And the door itself swung open. No one was around so there wasn't too much commotion, only the two vampire's earlier, and they were long gone by now.

He walked in threw the door and laid the girl onto a couch. Zak glanced back at the door, which was still broken, and decided he didn't want to be disturbed. He walked back and held the door shut, then picked up a few pieces of the broken lock and then grumbled. Finally he came to the conclusion that he can hold a door shut better than any lock.

He sat down in front of the door and watched the girl sleeping. He couldn't help but stare at curtain parts of her body. Dog demon or not, she was very well formed. He looked her up and down repeatedly stopping every once in a while. Then he stopped his fun and laid a blanket over her before sitting in front of the door and nodding off himself.

[P.J. McKrafty]

Jaden had been following up some demon sightings in New York, mainly a white female canine like demon. he had ditched his usual garb for a pair of blue jeans, an aviator jacket, and some combat boots to fit in New York. Not only did Jaden locate the demon, but two. Jaden waited for both to leave, he then dashed out of the tavern. He ran through the alley way to see the demons latest victim, curled up against the wall in a fetal position staring into space. Jaden dropped down to one knee beside her and placed his hand on her head. He murdered a prayer to save her from her grim fate, but it was too late, she collapsed. Dead. All Jaden had accomplished was saving this poor victims soul from eternal damnation.

Jaden reached his motor cycle he had rented. He pulled his katana out of the saddlebag ,his revolver, and ammo belt from the opposite bag. He holstered his gun and slid the katana in a leather sheath he wore on his shoulder. He ran after the demons trail hoping he wasn't too late to catch them. He ran through crowd of busy men and women to catch up. He had started to feel their aura. He felt them stop for a certain amount of time but they stopped and Jaden got some good distance but they started moving again and Jaden got some distance on them but then they seemed to move as one Jaden arrived at what seemed to be an apartment building, he sat outside and waited listening, gun drawn.

[Cicatrice Du Adieu]

She awoke staying completley still. Her eyes wondered, revealing a tidy apartment living room. She sat up wearily and looked around. She saw the man from before sleeping by the door. She got up and looked at him, thankful for life. She spent quite some time anylizing him. She smiled. He was older than her and [I]didn't [/I] kill her? That was odd and kind of him. But why.

"Why not take my life?" The words echoed in his blank resting mind.He woke up but did not stirr.

"I took interest in you." Were his simple words. He smiled lustfully, opening his eyes to see the face of the dog-girl 2 inches away from his. She was crouchig with her elbows on her knees leaning over to see her potential killer.

"Who are you?" She possed a question.

"Zak" He answered. "And you are?"

"Forlorn..." She said in a lugubrious tone. She was beginning to get comfortable.

"Is that your name?" He snorted.

She said nothing, just looked down.

He nodded. She stood. He stood. She walked to the couch and sat. He followed. They sat in awkward silence.

Jaden watched silently.

[The Enemy]

Zak rolled his eyes, and absently stared at Forlorn's great figure again. She looked around the room then caught his eyes looking at her chest. Astonished she nervously pulled the blanket over her again and Zak looked in her eyes curiously. "You are very well shaped." he finally said bluntly.

"What?!" she replied in awe. "Who the heck is this guy?!" She thought to herself. "Why didn't he kill me?? What does he want??" Then she made the connection to his dirty looks. "Oh my god! he wants to rape me!!??" she exclaimed within her head. All while Zak stared into space in the form of a wall next to him.

Forlorn's eyes were now darting back between him and the broken door. If it was life or death, she'd rather die than be his sexual play-thing. Suddenly she jumped from the couch and ran out the door. She grabbed her scythe on the way out. Her eyes ignored Jaden around a corner as she ran away.

Almost in an instant she had travelled several blocks. Eventually she did get tired an slowed to a speedy She saw Zak walk. She turned another few corners then stopped in her tracks. She saw Zak, he was just standing there, as if he had been waiting for hours. "Going for a walk are we?" he asked, is a cold voice. Forlorn could see getting away from him was going to be complicated.

[P.J. McKrafty]

Jaden listened outside, apparently the male demon was a tad bit lustful. Jaden didn't like the feeling of both demons getting away alive but facing both would be a challenge. Jaden was confident that he could do it, but then again doubts soon started to fill his mind. Not only thoughts of attacking but other things, like living, it was the aura of the demon, filling people with doubt, and them with power. This feeling sickened Jaden. Jaden started to draw his katana, then suddenly he felt a shift of movement, one of the demons started to move closer to the other.

And then out of the apartment ran the dog, completely ignorimng him. Jaden hesitated then swung into the room gun outstretched and sword drawn. Nothing. The apartment was empty and it looked like she had been the only one in there. Jaden didn't want to lose the girl again. He sprinted down the stairs jumping after he was six steps from the bottom. He busted through the door after the girls aura, she had a decent lead on him but after a minute or so he saw her turn a corner. He swung around the corner and there they both were, Jaden wasted no time and fired his gun, and for a moment time seemed to stop.

[Cicatrice Du Adieu]

She heard the gun shot behind her and grabbed Zaks wrist near instinctively. She ran with him following, keeping a strong hold on him. They turned into an ally and she released his hand. Forlorn jumped, grabbing hold of a brick wall at the end of the alley. She pulled herself up and over. Zak chased after her.

A few blocks and she reached centrel park. She had forgotten about Zak and stopped at the tree she liked most. She reached up to grab a branch but felt two hands grab her waist. She reached for her scythe but the hand raised and knocked it away. She knew who it was. It was Zak. She turned and sure enough. . .

She stayed completley still with fear of his wicked intentions.

[The Enemy]

Zak tilted his head at Forlorn and took in her shocked look for few seconds. Then she went to escape but Zak quickly held her hands behind her neck by the wrists. She struggled but her attempts were futile. "What do you want with me?!" She screamed.

Zak simply smirked at her anger, he was always amused by the complexity of emotions. He tightened his grip on her wrists to make her wince in pain. Then he almost laughed at how cute she looked in pain. Zak was a twisted man indeed. He squeezed again and watched her suffer.

Finally she asked again "What are you doing!? What do you-" her words were cut off. He had kissed her. She almost couldn't believe it. He let go of her hands to hold her waist again, and she took her chance. She hit him in the stomach as hard as she could and he fell back.

She then grabbed her scythe and went to cut his head off. But alas, she did enjoy the kiss herself. he almost revolted at the idea that she liked it but she couldn't fight what she felt. Instead of going for the kill she simply hit him in the temple with the handle and he fell to the ground. Out cold.

Just then She turned to see Jaden running into the park, she immediately regretted taking out her only source of aid and prepared to fight the human sure she could win.

[P.J. McKrafty]

Jaden tracked them for blocks and bocks. Then he finally reached central park. He saw as one demon fell from the tree. Jaden drew his katana and approached the tree.

"In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost, i will deport you from this sacred earth," he called out

The girl jumped down, scythe in hand. she showed her canines as she charged Jaden scythe held high. Jaden jumped to the side and cut her arm, She slid to the ground in pain, the glyphs on the sword weakened her. She then stood up and turned.

"I AM TIRED OF YOU HUNTING ME!" she yelled.

"I apologize for the inconvenience, but you started killing innocent lives, thus making it my responsibility to DEPORT YOUR SORRY ASS," Jaden yelled in anger, but he let his anger blind him, she brought her scythe around and almost slicing Jaden's head off, dodging this made him lose his footing, She came around with the butt of the scythe and knocked him down, now she had the upper hand in the fight.

[Cicatrice Du Adieu]

She sat on his back inableing his movement.

"I won't kill you. Not now at least. I want you to first see life through my eyes. We will see who the monsters really are." She said putting her fingers on his head.

She breathed out and closed her eyes. Jadens senses blurred.

When things came back into veiw he was standing in a room. A small dog-girl pup crieing in the corner huddled in a feetle position. Screams filled the hall. Shouts to leave came next. It then went silent. The girl passed right through him and crossed the hall into another room. He followed.

The girl sniffled and survayed the room. a charged skeloten at one end and half-dead dog-women leaning against the wall. the girl ran to the woman and collapsed on her.

"Mommy!! It will be better tomarrow..."

"No. it won't, not tomarrow. Not forever. The slayers did this. You will live a lonely, tormented life after this. You will always be in pain."She coughed up blood. " Please...remember.... We cannot choose our appearance but [I]they[/I] made us who we are now. [I]They[/I] turned [I]our[/I] image into monsters. [I]They[/I] did [I]this[/I] to [I]you[/I]." She coughed up blood and fainted. Death followed. His senses blurred and jaden came back to reality.

"You long for death." Forlorn said getting up.

Zak started to come through and saw the slayer there by Forlorn.

[The Enemy]

Zak sat up and it took a few seconds to focus. Then he looked around as he got his memory in order and saw the slayer by the dog girl, or Forlorn as she called herself. "I don't know either of them." He thought. "But I want to help the girl...I wonder why." As he stood they both turned and looked at him. "Is this good or bad?" asked Jaden to Forlorn. "I have no idea." She replied. Zak slowly walked towards them and then Jaden pointed his pistol between his eyes. "Don't come any closer!" He shouted. "I'll kill you, that's what I do for a living you're no different from the hundreds before you!"

Jaden screamed his command but in his head he knew it was untrue. The hundreds were vampires maybe some demons. But a shade! That was all new. "You can get away from her now." Zak said grimly. Then Jaden knew he could use the dog girl against Zak. He changed his aim and pointed the gun at Forlorn. She just stood shocked at the whole situation. "OK, if you come any closer, [I]she [/I] will die." Jaden said slyly. And as expected Zak stopped in his tracks. Jaden grinned and thought "This is amazing, I didn't know a shade could be so easily persuaded!"

Zak lifted his hand in a worried manner and said "Now, now. There's no reason to be so mean. Just calm down." Jaden smiled and pulled back the hammer on his revolver. "No I think you'll be doing what I say." Forlorn looked at Zak and tried to speak into his mind. "Stop. Please." her voice sounded so sad and scared. But her plea was only followed by cruel laughing ringing through her skull. Then her eyes began to water and the fear of death gripped her. Tears ran down her cheeks but Jaden was fixed on Zak. "Let her go." Zak's voice was cold and strong, it was like listening to the sound of ice forming.

Jaden recoiled slightly and pushed the gun against Forlorn's temple. "Or what?!" He screamed. Zak glared at him with hate and began to speak again. The words were not English more like the language embodiment of strength. "Ramr jierda!" The words were chaos. Instantly after speaking them Zak released an immense blast of force at Jaden. The wave cut threw the ground leaving a half cylinder crevasse aiming at Jadan. Jaden tried to dodge but the blast grazed his shoulder. Even that threw him several feet away from Forlorn and into a tree. Zak then walked up next to Forlorn and extended his hand to Jaden again. The words "Malthinae lam." then rang from Zak's mouth and Jaden's hands felt as if they were tied all to tight to the tree behind him.

Both Forlorn and Jaden were at a wonder as to how Zak did all this and what he would do next.

[P.J. McKrafty]

Jaden was somehow strapped to the tree, Zak approached Jaden.

"Don't you know never to threaten a lady?" After those words left his mouth Zak's foot collided with Jaden's face. Busting his lip and filling his mouth full of blood. Jaden coughed and spit blood from his mouth. Zak returned to Forlorn and grabbed her hand. Then turned back to Jaden. "Blöthr sja," Zak uttered those words, cataracts started to form over Jaden's eyes, and then everything went black for Jaden. He was blind. "It is temporary blindness and you are lucky for that, I do not want you following us," and with that Zak and Forlorn were gone.

Jaden sat there for a few minutes waiting for the blindness to wear off and the binds to dissipate, suddenly a noise acme from behind him. Then a familiar feminine voice called from behind.

"In a spot of trouble again I see," called out the voice, Jaden instantly knew who it was.

"Karen?" replied Jaden.

"Always the preceptive one aren't we," She said spinning around the tree and sitting on Jaden's outstretched legs. Jaden knew she was a very beautiful girl, short red hair and beauitful blue eyes. She was now 20, just turned two weeks ago if Jaden remembered. Jaden saved her life back in London where she was attacked by a band of vampires, and ever since then she has been in love with him, Jaden has never admitted feeling the same but deep inside he was in love with her. After he saved her he trained her in the ways of a slayer and she had become very proficient in magic, and surpassed Jaden in such. "Now why is a handsome man like you doing all beat up and bruised,"

"I was responding to the demon problem here," replied Jaden

"Well a lot good you did huh,"

"Well I never expected a shade,"

"A SHADE!?"

"Yes, can you help me get off this tree now?"

"...I require something first,"

"What?"

"A kiss," she said softly, This statement shocked Jaden but before he could protest her lips were against his. She stay there for a moment then pulled away."You could have told me you were bleeding in your mouth."

"You could have been a little less impulsive too," he replied sarcastically and as if he didn't enjoy it, but they both knew that he did.

"Lemme get you outta this," She walked around and placed her hands on his and muttered something, suddenly the bind broke and his was free.

"You are amazing Karen,"

"I know about my kissing but the magic was nothing, i would help you with your eyes, but i cant, by the way you dropped this," She handed him his revolver. "Lets get you back to my place," She helped him to his feet and the started to walk out of the park.

[Cicatrice Du Adieu]

Forlorn and Zak walked out of the park and into the city. Forlorns arms were crossed. A look of horror, disgust and anger filled her visage. She was now in dept to him. Zak smiled at her anger and utter disgust. He dicided saveing her was worth it.

"You are in dept to me." He stated although he knew that she knew.

" Why didn't you leave me?"

"You interest me." he seemed a hesitant at saying the next word."and you are attractive in pain."

"You are too messed up."

"yes." Zak stared at her.

[The Enemy]

Zak and Forlorn walked together in silence for a long time before Zak finally spoke again. "So we should probably find some shelter for you." he spoke in an oddly compassionate voice, it almost seemed like he cared. Forlorn simply scoffed and replied "I took care of myself before you and I don't need you now either! So what's all this 'we' stuff?!" Zak grinned at her anger and then they walked by another drunk man and a few of his sober friends. "Hey you stupid whore! What do you think your doin' hangin' 'round human folk?!" screamed the drunkard. His friends tried to settle him down then they saw who, or as they would say 'what', he was yelling at and they joined in.

"Yah demon where do you come off buggin' this human lad for sex?!" said one. "Yah another lonely night for a monster huh!?" continued another. Zak ignored them, not knowing or caring enough about what they said to make it matter. But Forlorn almost started crying next to him. Then he knew. They were insulting her. They took him for a human at that, they would soon regret that. The men seemed to hush up a bit, then the drunk threw a bottle at Forlorns head. It smashed over the back of her skull and neck. She fell to the ground but then stood up and continued walking without a word. In some small way she didn't want to scare off Zak, but she kept telling herself it was just because they outnumbered her and she would lose.

Zak let her walk away on her own and told her to find an inn or something. He gave her a generous sum of money and directions to a local hotel. Then simply walked away. He went back to the drunk and his friends to speak with them about their actions. "Oh I see you ditched that skank dog chic buddy. Good job!" That was the greeting he got for returning. Zak simply smiled and said "You clearly have no manners." After hearing Zak's cold voice they knew he was no human. "Somethin' ain't right with that guy." said one of the men as they all took out sticks or brass knuckles of varying size.

Zak went towards them with unearthly speed. In seconds he travelled 40 feet and sliced two of the 5 men?s heads clean off. "Holy hell!" screamed one of the remaining three before Zak's blade pierced his lungs. The other two tried to flee but Zak would not let them. He dashed in front of them suddenly and lifted his hand. The ghastly words "Hvitr istalri!" rang from his mouth. Moments past and nothing happened. "You just lettin' us go then??" asked a man. Then a searing white flame bursted forth from Zak's hand, incinerating the man who just spoke. The last man screamed both in fear and pain as He too was scorched to nothing but a charred skeleton.

As Forlorn sat on a bed recounting the events that had just taken place, Zak walked in. "You! You're back!" She knew he would be but it still surprised her somehow. "Yes, that I am." replied Zak. "I have no desire for sleep, but it is getting late. You should rest some." He continued. They sat in silence for a while. Forlorn didn't want to let down her guard if Zak was within ten miles of her, let alone the same room.
