Re: Cruel Times

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: "That's nice," I teased. "We're almost there, anyway."

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: ''Good.'' I sighed.

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: Ashrah landed in an open area in the forest below us. "The Empire camp is a little bit ahead," I said, leading her through the forest life. I stopped after a few minutes passed by, pointing, past a few trees, at a group of Empire troops sitting outside, eating.

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: ''What's the plan?'' I smiled.

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: "Um, let's see. Reek(?) havoc, take what we want, and leave no survivors. Sound good?"

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: ''Perfect.'' my eyes flicker silver as I pull my daggers out. I smile as I run up behind one invisible and watch him drop dead. The rest freaked, it was time.

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: I pulled Kale out, slicing a man in half. My eyes flicked to Violet as I decapitated another. She looked like she was having fun..

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: I looked over my shoulder and struck one down with Cark before they hit Sauda from behind.

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: "Thanks for that," I said, cutting down another soldier. Under my breath, I summoned Ashrah back. She showed up, taking the last of the enemy up in her mouth and crushing them with her teeth. "Mmm...That's gotta' hurt," I said, sheathing Kale, and waiting for Ashrah to finish eating the men she'd just killed.

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: I ran down to one o them and slit their throats to get thier blood.

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: "Well, that was fun," I said, as Ashrah landed. I kicked one of the dead guys over, and some silver objects fell out of his pocket. "Ninja throwing stars!" I yelled, taking all four. "These'll be fun to have."

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: "Fun.''

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: "Find anything?" I asked, kicking over another dead man.

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: "Blood." I smiled, toe punting another. "They haven't got much."

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: I laughed. "Not after Children of Darkness have gotten a hold of them."

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: "Sure." I shrugged.

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: I noticed a small velvet bag laying on the ground next to one of the dead troops. I picked it up. "Hey, Vi, what'd you think is in this?" I tossed it to her. Did I really just call her Vi?

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: I opened it, "No way." I took it out, "I never thought I'd see anything like this again." I smiled, "I thought they all were wasted." I put on the necklace with a huge jewel on the bottom, the same colour as blood.

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: I admired the jewel from a distance. It looked pretty on her. "We should be getting back," I said, walking back over to Ashrah who had finally landed having finished her meal.

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: "Do you know what this is?" I smiled.

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: "No, not really. I've never been one to fawn over jewelry too much. I've never really had the chance to, I guess. I tend to stay away from civilizations. Large groups of people aren't my thing, unless I'm kicking their asses."

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: "Same but, this bad boy is a Phoenix Crystal, extremely rare and valuable." I smiled, letting the crystal glow yellow a bit in my hands, "Only royal Shadow Thieves can use it."

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: "Shadow Thieves? Then-" I stopped. "Would that mean we're being watched by another Shadow Thief?" Just as I'd finished saying that, I saw something drop from a tree in my peripheral vision.

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: "Shouldn't be. I left ages ago." I looked over to her, "You something, didn't you?"

[Kanon-San]

Sauda: I stared at the wood line. I could just barely make it out, but the silhouette of a person was there. "Violet," I whispered. "Look at the edge of the woods, to the left of that boulder."

[OpenTheDoor]

Violet: I looked, my eyes flickered silver.
Voice: "Found her."
Violet: "Run." I turned and legged it, super speed, holding on to Sauda's wrist.
