Margaret flicked back her hair and laughed, a charming sound, "There is nothing that can kill a Reaper. I claim the souls of the dead. All those who died in Lladranna are apart of me and those Istar has killed and Nevan and even Alice and Nova here on this world are apart of me. I claim their souls!" She ran at him, her scythes spread at her sides in order to cross over and cut off his head. Istar and Nevan fell over, exhausted. Nevan now had a sharp serrated blade coming out of his stomach and Istar's body was covered in arrows, each leaking sand. "Game's over, Istar...." "Neither of us can win this fight..."
haha of course not. You've had enough of that my love.
Xenree hadn't come back with them. Instead Ashrah had disappeared. He stood at her side in her own darkness. A sand filled world of nothingness. "Time to get moving, Xenree." She groaned and stood, slipping in the sand. "Where am I going?" "Home." Ashrah disappeared and she stumbled along in the sand by herself. Ashrah's voice echoing around her, "You cannot leave...you cannot call for help...no one can help you. Reach the temple on the other side of the sand and we'll return what you want most to you." Xenree squinted through the blazing sunlight and saw a wavering shape of a large temple. She touched her chest, "You'll give me my heart again..." Crowley laughed like a maniac as he watched Beu and his friends. "You're so pathetic! Do you really think a demoness can take what belongs to me?!" Crowley's yellow eyes glowed and he wiped imaginary dirt off his coat, "Xenree belongs to me and she will forever until the day I die...which will be NEVER!"
Cloud huffed and snarled at Lars for a moment until Olivia brought the girl closer to her. Cloud lowered her nose to the girl and nuzzled her face, licking a few tears from her cheek. 'Dragons do not cry. And I have never had a rider before. This child must experience the ceremony of my families generations...she is very important to me' Cloud didn't realize she spoke to everyone until the little girl looked up at her and cracked a smile. "Hmph, the human smiles. We must learn to bare our teeth to the things that frighten us." Yuuki smiled at the dragon as she listened to her melodic voice echo in her head, "My name is Yuuki. I...didn't mean to cry. Mother told me to be wary of dragons seen flying around the Water village that never landed...she said they were wild and some were hostile." Yuuki looked to Olivia's dragon, "I don't think he likes being around other dragons... Is he nervous?"
haha XD I haz a new breed! We must DISSECT IT! lol jk
Of course people love cookies. If you don't love cookies you're weird and should be killed. lol jk
Yeah so? What's your point?
Xenree lifted her head and spit out sand. "How could this happen? How could I let Crowley replicate me...like I was some sort of creation..."
Xenree sunk into darkness and shivered. Is this what happens...when I choose to not listen to Crowley's lackies? I endanger my friends...I shouldn't be allowed to be with them. Ashrah sighed and waited patiently. Xenree landed on a sand dune in the middle of nowhere.
haha, as if. Ooooh, cookies!
Ashrah snarled at Orias and clenched his hands into fists, "You humans are so damn annoying! Would you shut up and pronounce my name correctly!? It's Ash-RAH! And if Xenree has any siblings she'd remember it would be me!" The second Ashrah mentioned all that, Xenree's head hurt. "Crowley...what did you do to me?! Stop it! Leave me alone!" Darkness opened up underneath her and swallowed her up.
You're so strange. I'm gonna...ignore you for a while.
Cloud lifted her head in shock and growled out to him in his mind, "I have no intention of hurting the little one. She holds a spirit that is compatable with me. She is my future rider. And no puny human is going to stand in my way of gaining a rider!" Cloud bared her teeth and snarled at Lars. Yuuki squealed in fear and turned to run, tripping over her own feet, she landed face first on the ground. Cloud forgot her growling and observed carefully as Yuuki fell and tears leaked from her eyes. "What is she doing? Young fledgling dragons fall while learning to fly and they don't leak water."
Ashrah stopped speaking and Xenree shuddered and shook off Beucefilous' hand. "He...he looks like me...why?" Ashrah touched a hand to his face, "So you noticed... Crowley altered our genetic code. You and I...are like brother and sister."
Ashrah frowned, "It's Ash-Rah, infidel. Xenree's duty is between her and her master. Not a useless inferior being!" Xenree felt her eyes water, "No...stop! Stop it!"
Yuuki gripped the man's leg too in a grubby hand. "No, don't hurt it!" Cloud padded through the trees and loomed over Lars. 'This is ridiculous. A human raising a sword against me?' She snorted and growled low in her throat.
Xenree felt confused with the differing attitudes. On one hand, her supposedly "big brother" was calm and then Ashrah was hostile. "I...I remember when I was nine...I don't have family."
ooc: You wanna fight about it?! bic: Margaret knocked his blade back down with her scythe and narrowed her black eyeshadowed eyes at him, "And now attacking a Reaper of Lladranna...oi..you're in hot water now, little boy." She twirled and aimed her adorably shoed foot at his face.
Xenree shivered and backed further away. "I don't have a brother. I am an only child. I have been since I can remember. And....who the hell said I needed an overseer like some child!? I'll kill you!" Ashrah laughed, "You want to continue and live don't you? I don't think killing me and wasting time is the correct way to do that."
Xenree backed away from Beucefilous. "Who...are you?? How do you...both know my name?" The boy picked himself up and pulled his hood back over his head, "I apologize, Xenree, I am Ashrah. I'm here to make sure you accomplish your duties assigned by Crowley."
