As the crow flies

[Deleted]

He had been keeping himself busy for the most part, having more than a few jobs to do.. and even more atop the list he was slowly working through.. he was making sure that Rose was getting time with Ace.. those two needed to get to know one another..he was knee deep in book from the Koehler family library.. the room was vast and filled to the brim.. Adelaide always managed to make sure it was well stocked.. he loved it in here.. the smell of it always calmed his nerves.. the bells stole his attention from one of the medical journals though..

making him glance up curiously.. was there an event going on he didn't know about?.. he figured if something were wrong he would be alerted.. giving it a moment longer.. the bells kept tolling.. musing over what to do.. before he placed the book down and he went to move back toward the doors.. and just as he opened them he felt that shift.. that sudden wave as it struck him like a wall of water.. sending him back through a pile of books as he hit the floor.. he was out of it for a moment.. unconscious.. just laying there with books scattered about his frame.. before he would begin to stir.. his eyes beneath his lids moving rapidly.. fluttering open to reveal those blood red orbs.. his skin had paled considerably.. his hair near to perfectly styled..

he snarled as he dragged himself to his feet.. kicking the books about them in the process.. he was dressed in tight black jeans.. they were torn in places.. his knees were revealed when he walked.. his upper body was coated in leather.. it was all dark and rather brooding.. he rolled his shoulders..oh he ached.. but in the most delicious way.. like someone who had been sitting in the same position for just a little but too long suddenly being able to stretch it out.. the corners of his lips curled into the most carnal of grins.. he moved to exit the room only to have everything shift.. suddenly and swiftly.. and before he knew it he was outdoors.. skidding along the gravel as he was released into the valley.. digging the heels of his boots down into the soil to balance himself..

he was confused for a moment..he was inside wasn't he. and now.. he was not.. he laughed at the madness of it.. but in truth.. he could deal.. it was fine.. he was just So fucking glad to be out.. he was always just there.. just behind the boys eyes.. waiting for an opening.. and he got it once.. for a split second in that janitors closet when his Father poked him a little bit too hard.. and then yeah.. against the idiots down in the sandy basement of the luxury get away.. but this.. this was different.. there was No echo of Jacob.. the boy was out of it.. and he was going to make the most of the time he had..

the air seemed to shift around him...it dried out.. all the moisture just vanished.. before crackles of heat followed.. and one large loud Bang as a strike of the strongest lightening hit a series of trees off to the side.. splintering the wood.. setting them ablaze as he laughed his ass off.. nearly doubling over.. Oh he was impressed.. he did it again.. and again.. and Again.. the forest around them.. was sparking light.. burning slowly as the trees began to topple and fall over.. the ground was charred.. he turned on a boot heel as he picked up a secondary scent.. other than burning wood and animal flesh-.. Come out come out where ever you are.. I dont bite..

That wave hitting them fucked just about anyone with a God's blood in their veins. Like lighting striking a metal rod it just short circuited everything, took down any breakers of protective measures and as such it really, truly rocked him right down to the core. It busted through his glamor and triggers his fathers genetics hard enough that he had to back out as soon as he felt it, leaving Thaylan to sort shit out, no way in hell anyone in the castle would understand what he was... But if it hit him?... Who else? His first concern? Was Jacob. Sydel was out of it, that wave would maybe make her stir a bit but thankfully he'd exhausted Syn enough to where she'd not so much as move a pinky finger right now. Rose? He'd passed her and Ace on the stairs but she looked just fine? What was going on?...



He'd get to the library where Jacob was onto to get a very familiar presence and yet a strange one too... It was Jacob but not and he just about swore his head off when he realized some things run in packs... He had HOPED that Jacob's other side wouldn't be like Sydels, that he'd been watered down enough with Diovan but nope, not his luck. Not anyone's luck. The fastest course of action was to teleport this other side of Jacob far and away from anyone in the castle because right now? If this was anything like the beast in the cage? That meant he could and would likely attack anyone and anything he felt like. Not quite what he'd think Ace would appreciate given how fucked the whole damn thing had been. Far into the mountains where the empty valleys were, that was where he dropped him before following behind after making sure things would be managed in his absence, Rose being there helped him feel a bit more at ease... She was in her own way like Jacob and they could calm just about any storm. He might need her later depending on how this other side of his son handled. Syn had been manageable due to sex but he couldn't even remotely imagine touching Jacob like that, and he also doubted anything of the sort was going to happen.



Watching from a sheltered place he watched as the lightning bolts struck the ground but not at random, these were carefully aimed, they were controlled... The upside? If he was hit with one it had enough heat to give him a power surge so he could go on longer... The downside? If he took too many shots in rapid succession he'd end up taking on too much and he'd start to show damage at that point. Seeing shortly after how this person, this Jacob who was clearly not Jacob caught onto his scent, which was by no small means impressive given he was upwind and the air wouldn't have carried his scent. Not by natural means anyways. How fine tuned were this man'ssenses? "You know your mother said the same thing then bit me not long after. What is your name, if you don't mind me asking?"

[Deleted]

He had landed with a skid.. sending him back a few metres in the loose gravel and dirt.. there was no fear in his eyes.. not an ounce of it.. if anything it was more gleeful.. he was just so fucking happy to be out .. to be breathing.. the body could have been better.. it lacked a great deal of muscle and strength and was a bit on the lean side.. but it would serve its purpose.. he figured it was odd he'd been dropped out into the valley .. but he made the most of it..he stretched out those bones.. he felt the magical energy.. the chaos ripple along his arms.. his fingers..

the leather and denim cut the most perfect silhouette.. the trouble maker.. the bad boy.. the face you expected to see flicking a cigarette down onto a pile of papers before a room lit up like a christmas tree..blood red circlets with pupils inky black as sin..his hair was pulled up high and back.. at first he didn't really sense anyone else there.. so he tested the power behind his fingers.. behind his pull.. summoning all manner from the deep dark reserves he had been gifted.. and he made one hell of a mess.. crack after crack after crack.. the lightning hit the tree line around him.. making the thick wood splinter and the ground shake.. the sounds.. the large Booms were music.. but the grin he wore was the worst.. cunning and sly.. very.. Very reminiscent of his Mother before she softened.. before she changed..

he set a great lot of the forest to his left alight.. before he finally caught onto your scent.. Oh there was someone else there.. not necessarily close but.. he was no longer alone.. he called out to you.. wanting you to come out and play.. your response made his grin widen.. laughter to ring out before the lightning fell silent.. smoke from the fanned flames slowly poured and curled around their feet-.. Smart Woman, though which are you referring to.. The shadow.. The disappointment.. or Syn. -he'd quip.. sliding a long black cigarette between his lips as the tip sparked to life-

.. Crow.. -he bowed.. turning in the opposite direction the voice was coming from.. he knew the tricks.. he knew where you were.. he was incredibly intune with his surrounds.. and there was nothing natural about you.. so you stood out like a sore thumb.. he grinned as he exhaled a long flood of coloured smoke-.. I'm bored though.. I'm not interested in playing chase.. Not with a castle filled with toys all locked in like trapped mice.. -he was smart enough to have heard the bells, and caught a glimpse of the gates all locked down-.. Imagine.. if a fire broke out in there.. they'd all burn alive..

-he took another drag on the cigarette-.. How utterly delightful.. -he paused a moment.. as if.. perhaps gaining some intel.. -.. Oh.. Oh.. I see.. I know who you are.. I.. =he exhaled the smoke once more as he tipped the stub beneath his boot-.. The one who does all the work for my GrandFather.. Intriguing.. think of the trouble we could cause.. destroy the rest.. remove the drama.. and take over.. -he grinned wide enough for his canines to show.. before he would take off running.. his footfalls were fast enough that every second step couldn't even be caught by the naked eye.. and as he got closer the image of him wavered.. two.. three and then four.. only one of them would have been real.. but they all looked it.. it was a mechanism to confuse.. so the first strike would be one of surprise.. enough to knock you off your feet if it connected.. and to send you flying back through the loose gravel and charred remains of the forest..-

Would it be weak of him to admit that seeing his precious Jacob like this gave him a bit of the chills? Pale as moonlight with eyes as black as night and red as blood, the usual perfection of dress replaced by something far more angry, aggressive and an outward refusal to conform... Though the hair? Ok he really liked Jacob with that hair, you could see his face more, it made him look more distinguished... Less hiding behind his glasses and that casual style he always wore his hair as. All that was pretty much gone in the lightning storm and that told him in no small means this was going to be a mess of a fucking fight. Because hey, one witch elf in 48 hours just isn't enough! Worse still was that Jacob had two different primordial lines in him which made him worse than Syn, far less predictable and... Yeah... Not going to use sex to burn Jacob out, good Gods no, he couldn't even stomach the idea. He kept himself distant for a bit, watching the power display go off, gauging in those moments some of what me hight be up against. Lightning obviously but that meant heat too, heat he could use to his benefit but lightning carried more heat than the sun and if he wasn't careful he could sustain some serious damage, magical channels could be fried to a crisp and take months to recover and in that time? He'd be useless to protect his family. During the time he watched though it was apparent he was caught out, and not just in the regular fashion oh no, this side of Jacob even know the ventriloquist trick... Not good... The taunt from Crow was met with a reply that was jovial in nature, or at least neutral as he wasn't about to go swinging into this, hell to the fucking no he was not. "Syn naturally. She just came out to play with me a little more than a day ago. You however have a few more tricks up your sleeve than she did. Lightning your thing? Or do you have a couple other moves to show off?



Spoke while he stepped out from the area he had been standing in, cloaked in shadows and the nature around him he was there like a damned fucking target, not something he preferred but... You gotta do what you gotta do. He'd ask the name of the man he spoke to and hearing Crow? Was surprisingly suiting... "That makes sense... Your father has that creature tattooed on his chest... I wonder if he knew." It was an interesting idea but he couldn't truly say just yet. The jab about the castle, hell if he were half as insane as he used to be he'd be right there with him, hell Khorn would be snug as a tick on a dogs ass with that much fresh blood pouring in, however... "Your Grandfather doesn't exactly enjoy those sorts of games Crow. He's about warfare, he wants the fight, the battle and blood. Killing innocent people like that would likely end you up in the doghouse for a bit. Trust me, been there, done that." Khorne might have his issues? But at least he was straight forward. He hated sneaky underhand shit, it just wasn't that particular Gods cup of tea. Or, you know, Blood... Whatever.



Silent he stood as there seemed to be some sort of a waylay of conversation between himself and who? Likely Khorn, he doubted the witch elves would have much to do with him, they tended to serve Khorn exclusively, and from what he had heard? Jacob... No, not Jacob, Crow was high ranking... A General... Put him in the line of some very heavy intel and resources... "Nautilous Deathhaze, the one and only." He'd said with a bow before he'd stand upright once more, his clothes were surprisingly plain, just a lost cotton set of pants that one sees in India, the rest a plain shirt. He wasn't here to impress he just needed to have this Crow waste an ass ton of energy and pass out like Syn had. "I have no interest in elvish cities if I want to dominate. I go after the Drow because it pisses Lolth off to no end and Khorn enjoys the new food samples. Now that, if you are interested, is much more fun." But he figured that while Crow seems happy to talk? It wouldn't be for long. Sure enough Crow made his move and he could handle speed, he'd fought creatures who moved so fast they were barely more than a blur of color when fighting, but multiples? "Ah Fuck." He said under his breath as he shifted into a defensive position and prepared for the hit.



It was from the side that he was slammed into, that first connected solidly against muscle and bone and he sent him soaring like a naut-comet before he'd hit the ground and roll head over heels before he'd catch his balance and grip the earth to slow down. He was pretty damn glad for that power surge in a big way, it tripped his dads genetics out so at least he wouldn't be missing large chunks of skin from this, and it did help minimize some of the damage... Some, but not all, and as he took his next breath he could feel the ache in his ribs. "Well that hasn't happened in a very long time... Last person to land a hit like that was Khane." Which was a DAMNED long time ago, he had still been a puppy in those days, and at full power too no less. This hurt a hell of a lot more than the last and yeah... He knew he was going to be hurting like a mother fucker tomorrow. Crow was fast, that duplicate image he could summon was going to throw him off hard, he had to go without his sight which... Well yeah that was going to fucking suck. He'd closed his eyes and listened, pointed ears twitching as it listened for the crunch of gravel for the next attack, wondering if those damned echoes of his would make sounds too because if so? He was going to need someone of Crow's own kind to do this shit... "So you know about Syn, do you know about the other one like you? You two are quite close but I wonder if you've picked it up yet... She's your sister, after all." Yep... Pitched it wondering if Crow would catch onto it, if it would get his attention, allow him a chance to figure a little bit more out about Crow before the next hit came.

Introductions had been made.. well on his part anyway and he spoke on being bored.. how a little jaunt back to the castle might fill a little bit of that time.. your response though had him cocking his head to the side..-.. mm.. Its only really an issue if you get caught ..and it would appear.. you did.. thats disappointing.. Whilst the gods are..all powerful beings.. chaos and pandemonium.. they are far from perfect..they dont see..everything.. -he clucked his tongue against the roof of his mouth.. he would gain that intel then.. that connection line switched in.. giving him your name before you even uttered it.. he nodded-.

. The one and only indeed.. I dont know.. I thought you would be taller.. -he rubbed his fingers across his chin.. his incredibly sharp jawline.. -.. Ah! yes.. now the drow are interesting.. and something you have explored before.. an army of one no less.. -he clapped his hands together.. the sound echoed around the wide open area- praise for that.. you slaughtered a hell of a lot of people that day.. You nearly even killed my Mother.. -he waved his hand a little dismissive..before he jumped into gear.. there would be little to no warning.. no dragging of heels in the dirt.. no snarling or wickedly witty remarks.. no he was dripping with sarcasm one moment and then rushing you like a wild bull the next..

the closer he got he spread out.. multiples of himself .. enough to confuse so his first hit would land.. and it did.. spectacularly.. sending you flying off into the loose gravel.. watching you slide quite a few hundred metres before you came to a stop-.. Never underestimate the quiet ones.. for we have been watching.. and weakness can only be seen by those who pay close enough attention.. -he smacked his lips together.. the question about Syn had him nodding his head-.. I do know Syn..very well.. she's incredibly strong and agile.. but her weaknesses are her death knell.. -he shrugged-.. box her and she's done..

-his brows drew in a moment when you mentioned did he know the other one like him.. that he was quite close.. his sister?.. he scratched his cheek-.. The other one.. -he paused.. -.. Ahh but see ..dear Father figure.. are you referring to Crimson perhaps?.. -he moved into a crouch.. his fingers crackling with unspent energy-.. the one whos as white as snow.. but who drips poison and plague like it were a carnival act.. -he dug his nails down into the dirt.. and the earth would splinter.. might wanna get up or that electricity would grab.. hold and like human life..drain you.. might take longer.. but it would happen.. over time-.. OR.. perhaps you speak of Salem.. but no.. he's still quite little.. bit more growing to do before he reeks havoc in sweet little Arvandor ...Sensing a pattern yet?..you keep breeding with her.. it's not going to get better.. -.. but no it was clear he knew not of this sister you were speaking of.. just the others.. Aysil and Aylan.. it would appear.. that those two birthed more than just pretty children.. -

"Red handed but that's what happens when you're young." He wasn't about to deny it. It wasn't as if he had anything specific to hide. Currently it was more about sorting out just how deep that intel ran and for how long, after all it was a pretty big fluke that for the first time in his life he was going into a fight not knowing a damned thing about his enemy, but his enemy knowing almost everything about him. "I sneak enough by but there's an old saying, pick your battles, and it's better to be caught for certain things so others go... Unnoticed." Though what in the ever loving fuck did Crow mean by that? There was something hidden between the lines that had him guessing but he couldn't read the language it was written in. Very... Very annoying! He hadn't felt this irritated since he was a youth barely into his twenties and he did NOT relish the sensation anymore now than he did then. "Curious minds do wonder just what shit you think you've snuck in that none of us have seen? Or are you simply speaking from a point of view versus experience?" Gyah! He HATED this! Having to reveal things in order to fish out the answer. Ugh. Not his preferred mode of style. EVER. No wonder he had been insane as a youth, you'd have to be to deal with these eager ones, otherwise everyone with two brain cells would have likely given up.

"It's easy to labor under that delusion, everyone's always in my shadow and that casts far indeed." Yeah no bub, he wasn't about to snap at that bait, thank you very much! He mentioned the Drow versus Silverthorn, how one was preferred to the other, hoping he might sidetrack him a bit... For all he was not a resident of Silverthorn? He was friends with it's King and he had seen first hand how much work Ace had put into it to try and make it flourish, every good day spent there was on the back of that mans hard won efforts. He wasn't about to go and fuck it up the ass because Crow wanted to go play with the sand castle. He didn't like being reminded of what a close call it was with Sydel though, she should have been well out of there when it started to come down, he had warned her well ahead of time... It was one of the reasons he kept a somewhat closer eye on her now than before. He had to wonder if that was Crow's way of setting him a touch off balance, reminding him of a near failure, and if that was the case? It came pretty close to working. It made him a touch angry and yet he couldn't really summon up the anger he would need to really end this fight... Syn? Well he and Sydel loved each other as much as they hated each other sometimes, it was light and dark, good and bad... They felt it all in the extremes, they didn't stop hating one another because they loved each other and vise verse, but that was also why they got along so damned well. They accepted each other without trying to change anything about it, sure they fought and got into some hellacious bad rows, hence his ability to defeat her in the dungeon... Though true he did have more factors on his side than he did here which... Yep... He was going to be feeling THAT soon.

By that, he meant the hit he took to the ribs that sent him flying back a good distance, rolling even once or twice before he caught himself and stood. The warning about the whole quiet ones made him roll his eyes a bit though. "Boy who do you think let you out in the sand pits to give you the first stretch? Sure as shit wasn't mary mother fucking poppins there kiddo." He knew about Crow he just... Didn't know QUITE how bad it was, and it didn't help that Khorn had been riding his ass to let the boy out for a stretch, and he was going to... Just... In somewhat more controlled circumstances... TOnight was most definitely NOT the night for it though yet there they were... "It's not even a confined space, she's incredibly nimble and she can use it to her advantage, no her weakness is heat." Which meant someone might not have been watching quite as close as he had said... That was a good thing. He tossed out the bit about his sister, wondering just how deep this other side had probed and it was comforting to know that he really didn't know all he had thought, another boon... "No, not Crimson, she won't be arriving for a little while yet still..." Thank the Gods for that one, he had time to find a place on the surface to let her lose and get that itch out of her skin, get it all sorted and settled. Salem? Now that was unexpected and he nearly missed the crack in the ground, making a hard roll to the side that just had him dodging it in time, which hey... Might just be the game they had to play right now. The more he missed? The more energy he had to expend in order to make another strike. All he had to do now? Was keep Crow using that energy till he tapped out just like Syn had. "Do you think your Grandfather would allow her to marry anyone who couldn't produce a lineage to his benefit? You are all Hybrids and Khorn is not the only one..." He said as he made a move to attack this time, something light and easy, a barb to test the waters... A quick slinging of a bounder from the left that Crow was able to dodge which gave him a good estimate on the guys reflexes, his sense of awareness in a certain space... They'd go back and forth like this for a while, several minutes at least with him fighting this way and that, testing the openings... Weaknesses... Chinks in the armor... "You say you're always watching... Then you know about Rose, don't you? Tell me Crow, what are your thoughts on the woman who holds that's bodies heart in her hands?" He'd ask, curriously prodding that situation, waiting for his reaction or perhaps lack there of... Just what would he do? He'd wait for a reaction, words or a speech, be it positive or negative... After such he'd explain his earlier words... "That same Rose is your Sister, same father but a different mother this time... You'd know her as Crahvyn... The one that Khorn wants for his little minagere but has yet to find a way to bring her to heel... She's a bit too much of a wild card... All that power and so very little regard..." [/i]

Would that give him the opening he needed? (Roll- (1d10)+0: 9,+0 Total:9 High Success Attack Roll) He'd dive in and out of the ashes all around them he'd summon the metal out of the earth itself and fashion some incredibly thick copper and aluminum shackles which he placed on him, wrist and neck in several hard and fast hits. A quick spell uttered to bind them to his skin would keep them from being ripped off easily... How long would they last? Who knew? Once thing he was sure of though was that if he went to use another lightning strike on him? It would round right on back to Crow and strike him instead, following those conductor cuffs as nature is wont to do, which he hoped would at least deter it...

[Deleted]

they were trading barbs.. vocal hits at one another over familiar affairs of family and friends.. he knew a lot.. but he didn't now everything.. hearing that it was you that let him out for his first proper stretch he scoffed-.. Are you looking for recompense?.. a medal perhaps?.. I think to myself Ahh to be humble.. but then I recall.. its you we are talking about.. a word you will never truly understand Or follow.. -they spoke on Syn and the weaknesses he knew about.. Sydel was incredibly weak.. Syn had her moments.. Bell was utterly useless.. it was a trio of disappointment.. he mentioned Crimson and then of course Salem.. his siblings that he knew were bubbling quietly beneath the surface.. he made a move.. splitting into three to take away your attention.. sending you flying backwards into the gravel.. the lightning though you seemed to dodge..

that was a little frustrating though the emotion wouldn't register on his features..he simply moved to stand.. curling his fingers inward.. keeping a keen eye on you.. -.. Rose?.. she's.. entertaining.. the boys not suffered this much in years.. its intriguing to watch from the inside.. attractive.. got all the right things in the right places.. stubborn.. jealous.. and competitive.... like i said.. -he clicked his tongue-.. entertaining.. -the boulder nearly took him by surprise.. but before the moment of impact his body wavered and switched to three.. the rock shattered one of the doubles..

the image flickered until it disappeared and he was behind you.. afterall.. you were watching to see if he got hit right?.. so didnt notice him shifting out of view.. hard hicks to the back of the knees.. before he rounded you once again.. he was going in for another hit before you mentioned that this Rose was Jacobs sister and his bloody gaze narrowed.. the thought crossed his mind...and he laughed-.. seriously?.. He's been fucking his sister.. Wait.. doesn't that mean you were lusting after your niece.. -his brow rose as the grin curled about his lips-.. Oh thats fucking precious.. Oh.. and she.. and your wife.. who.. in a round about way.. is..her step mother. Oh what a kinky tangled web of incest..

-his mind was connecting the dots so he missed the shackles...till he had them upon his neck.. his wrists.. his gaze widened as he stretched his neck out.. rolling his wrists as he looked to the metal.. feeling the weight.. shaking it to see how secure it was.. any crackle of energy from his fingers was causing sparks to round about back to him.. making his body jolt so he ceased that almost immediately.. he was out.. he had nothing to use against electricity conductors.. =

[BadInfluence]

"If I was looking for such things I wouldn't be expecting them from you in the slightest." His dick would rot and fall off long before that. "I simply expect you to think and realize that it doesn't matter how quiet you are I still saw your ass in there." Ah huh. That was really the all of it, just a point proven that he knew Crow was in there, lurking behind eyes of blue and green... "Word to the wise though kettle, watch who you go about calling pot yeah?" Crow was about as humble as unicorn shit in Hanali's scrying pool. He didn't really know what to expect about Aysil and Aylan, he had hoped that Aysil spending half her life in Arvandor, Aylan being born there... It would help take some of that potential risk away. He always knew there was a chance, neither he nor Sydel were exactly... 'Good People'... He never once thought for a moment that they'd come out squeaky clean little cherubs... He just didn't think they'd come out like miniature Syns or Crows...

He took that hit like a champ though, took him a while to slow his momentum too but he managed it, able to get out of the way of that lightning trap too and thank the Gods for it. He could handle some but not a continual stream like that, he'd be fucked and he hadn't lost a fight, not yet... He wanted to prod a bit, mentioning Rose there for a moment, wondering how much Crow watched from the inside. The results? Interesting... Worth another look perhaps? Enough to make Crow himself distracted enough for him to pitch the small boulder at him, and he watched the reaction with a vicious sharp eye, and that was there he saw the trick... It didn't matter if there was only one, so long as he managed to make that trick before it hit, he wouldn't take any damage... Just sacrifice a clone image... Now that? Was a fucking trick... He could easily see why Khorn had made him a general, there was no way he could do any less, that one trick alone was enough to ensure he was virtually untouchable. "Enough for you to want her too I see." He said as the split images ran at him and he made sure to guard his organs, eyes and airway, taking the hit to the back of the knees and while he wavered? He didn't drop. He shifted forward and dropped that bit about who she was, Jacobs own precious little sister and all that goodness, such a tangled little family they had... So very much like the Pharos of Egypt. "Ah ah buddy, remember, you two are one in the same... You've been fucking her too." Syn acknowledged Sydel and she were the same person but Crow seemed to... Well... Almost completely ignore that the two of them were the same... Same body, same mind, same life... He wondered if this was simply due to ego? Or was there a serious wire lose in there? "We're a beautiful family Crow, we're attracted to exceptional breeding and power, do you honestly think it's surprising?" Though he wasn't about to correct him on the whole lusting after Rose thing. He wanted to watch Rose and Sydel fuck, THAT was his lust bunny, not the actual girl herself. See, Rose had an exceptionally juicy ass but alas, no tits to speak of.

In that moment though he'd roll in and attach those manacles and collar around him, turning him into his own personal lightning rod, every time he'd try to shoot one off? It would just rebound on him. Were they permanent? No. If Crow wanted to get them off he could it would just take a damn long time to do it. He'd stepped back at that point and it was then he'd sense her Arrival. She'd finally gotten his message and came around. That was... The one really unique thing about this one... Crahvyn had been awake for many, many years and was perfectly aware of the world around her, she could pop out any time she wanted... She just had to want to and thankfully this time? She Did. AS she came up he would walk away and make his way back to the castle, slowly this time and he had to let the glamor resettle on himself, for things to... Mellow...




"The Itsy, Bitsy, Spider... Went Up the Water Spout..." A sweet, soft little voice was singing next to Crow's ear as a set of long, slender, lovely fingers walked up the shackled arms... "Hello there pretty little lap dog..." She'd coo with a sultry laugh as she draped her arms over his shoulders for a moment before sliding them down his back, staying behind him the entire time, gently rapping her nails on the metal cuffs. "And what a pretty little collar they have on you... My, my, such is the life of a pet, Hmm?" A question asked before she drew away, a large nightshade bush suddenly sprouting up out of nowhere, forming a lovely throne for her to sit on while her leg dangled over... Watching Crow where he stood at the moment. Leather and suede clad body in that chair didn't leave a single bit to the imagination even though she was covered from neck to toes and back again. "I wouldn't move if I were you... Lovely thing about quicksand... It adores to be played in but it has an issue sharing it's toys... I'd hate to see you buried like a bit of cat shit before we were... Properly introduced..."

A long tendril would spread out from that throne and she'd walk across it, nimble as a wood nymph along the vine up to where he was currently standing on what would appear to be very solid earth but it was true... If he moved? He'd instantly sink a few feet down. "I was wondering when he'd let you out of the box... Uncle has been just raving about you for years... It's a fucking bore... I mean just... Look at you? How many cans of hairspray did you kill to get that pompadour?" She teased, reaching out to pat her hand on that well sculpted head of hair, seeing it bounce under her fingers with a bit of a laugh. "My my, aren't we just the dapperest little Deathhaze, hmm? Tell me, does your grandfather already know you got your ass beat? By a man who was already running on next to nothing no less! Why... I don't think you're quite ready to play with the big dogs..." Was she goading him? Of course! Why not? Men were such touchy little things... "Yes yes, before you go blathering on, I DO like to hear myself talk... It's nice to hear intelligent conversation and I oh so rarely hear it from others so-, well, I simply must amuse myself."

"Now... What did I come out here to do? Ah, yes, that's right..." She said before she'd close that little bit of a gap and remove the runes on those shackles so they'd fall right off, neat as you please even, the acid from her fingertips easily ruining the inscriptions and therefore rendering them null. "Well there we are... The collar is off, but the question remains... What ever will you do now?"

See, thats where youre wrong.. We are not one in the same.. I simply allow him to exist .. thats all there is to it.. I pop up from time to time.. but mostly I just ride in the back.. thoroughly entertained by the antics of sweet innocent Jacob.. the boy everyone adores.. the boy who could do no wrong.. How magnificent would it be if I was to.. Fuck everything up?.. take control of his hand during one of those fine surgeries he has to go through.. Become crass, rude and unruly to all the professionals he works with.. slowly ruin his reputation.. -the incest made sense.. your explanation was pretty much bang on.. the family sought out strength not weakness.. it bred from strength.. and it moulded it to perfection.. there was not another family alive that was like this one..

the collar.. the wrist cuffs took him by surprise and he couldn't fight against it.. the way it caused his electricity to turn back around on him fucked everything up.. he growled.. but the scent of another approaching caused his bloody gaze to narrow.. the voice against his ear he didn't react to.. her touch much the same.. he just remained still.. - Plants huh?.. weeds and the goodness of wood elves.. thats your thing hmm?.. -he could smell it.. she stunk of earth and all things natural.. he strained against the cuffs they were slowly working their way off but it would be a bit more time yet.. she came into his view then.. sitting her well rounded ass on a chair made of vines.. their gaze met.. lingered.. -.

. I wouldn't know child.. Im no bodies pet -she made the threat about the quick sand but his eyes remained on her.. -.. Im not sure what you're aiming for here.. if its to frighten me, you're well off the mark.. might want to work on your opening act.. what have you up your sleeve for me next?.. going to drown me in butterflies? ladybugs perhaps? -he snapped his teeth at her when she played with his hair-.. Anikin.. I am not a deathhaze.. as for getting my ass beat.. hmm.. no.. he called in for support and took off with his tail between his legs.. he took a good deal more damage than I did.. so.. yeaaaah.. no I tend to disagree with you there.. Crahvyn ..Grandfather is watching closely.. he's tired of disappointment.. and several have quite big targets on the back of their heads.. they just dont know it yet.. Oh this precious little family of incest fuck bunnies is going to be a lot thinner after Death Night.. blood means nothing if youre not useful..

-he watched as she pulled the vines and jumped across much like a pixie would.. the manacles slowly fell to the gravel..he reached to rub his hands across his wrists..-.. yes well.. it does get boring when you only have yourself to communicate with.. Ill give you that much.. -he was impressed with what he had seen so far.. though hed never admit to it.. the first thing he did though.. was destroy the chair.. the throne.. the electrical energy just turned it to ash.. -.. theres so much more you could do with those.. chairs.. well.. thats just showing off.. proove to me.. youre not just another pathetic little bag of tits and a cunt.. so many of the women around here are pathetic and weak.. -the ground beneath them both rumbled.. sure he was still standing in that quicksand but he hadn't moved an inch.. but the trees around them started exploding.. wood splinters sprayed everywhere.. one after the other.. popping off like party crackers.. getting closer and closer and closer-

"Wooo boy are you ever hitting that peyote a little too strong. If he dies guess what? You do too. Jacob gets hurt? You come out with the same injury. If you fuck up his reputation that he's spend decades building? He'll know something up and he will go running to his Grandmother who will lock your ass up tighter than a drum skin." Crow seemed to be laboring under a few delusions here, but that happens with youth doesn't it? Young and strong tended to make one brash and cocky too. Was he judging? Far from it. Crow was sort of a shorter, paler version of himself when he was still quite young, all flash and fire when he'd first met Sydel. Oh yes, he'd had a great deal of fun, but he also knew that it will burn itself out... Quickly too... Reality has no time or patience for those who bend her rules a bit too much. "But if that is your goal then by all means, I encourage you to try, nothing teaches us faster than the Truth... You'll figure it all out on your own soon enough." He? Had Sydel who sort of fueled his own attitude, the two of them were War and Mayhem together, a perfect pair and they left oceans of blood in their wake. Crow on his own? Would hardly be able to keep the fuel up for a year... Tops. It was the Incest hit that he simply shrugged off. It was a fact, their family was all rather inbred outside of Ace, all of them were related in some way or form. He however didn't judge it, let alone mind it, it was simply the laws of attraction. Like needs be married to like for there to be harmony. No one else in this world could handle them like the could each other, no one could survive such a marriage, such a union. He also knew from personal experience that the children from unions outside of their family blood ties? All came out twisted, insane, flawed... Short life spans as the energy and power burned through the bodies not able to handle it. When Crahvyn came though he wisely chose to back out, this was their first meeting but this wasn't a surprise to him, the simple fact that he knew about her was enough for him to move away.



"Oh my my my, you ARE precious, aren't you?" She said with a sweet little giggle as she ran her fingers over that leather jacket, the skin tight jeans, oh yes this one here liked to be watched... Lived to be the center of attention, of lust and desire, of fear... Though she felt none of that around him, poor dear. He just.. missed his mark with her. "And where do you think you come from? Hmm? Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus... Point eighty five percent is made of potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine and magnesium...The other one percent is just... Biological glitter... You are nothing more than a plant who evolved past the state of being rooted." She knew her shit which was... Unique. A being made for destruction who was incredibly educated... Something shared between Crahvyn and Rose... A thirst for knowledge and a love for plants. "My thing is far greater than plants but if that makes you sleep easier at night, well just call me miss green thumb then." He was fun, she'd give him that and she hadn't really played with anyone in years, not since that stupid Janitor went and took it a few steps too far. Oh that one had been wonderful fun though, seeing someone pale and then scream for hours on end as a demon in such a little childs body ripped him apart joint by joining, keeping him alive through the entire process... Oh... What fun days those were...

Settling in her lovely little chair was quite nice, comfortable as she watched him all locked up like an errant puppy, they eyes meeting and lingering. He really wasn't bad on the eyes, a little thin, definately needed to put some weight on but... He had that yummy little bad boy with a past vibe that made her want to poke at him... Just a bit. "Oh but you ARE... Your good old grand daddys little lap dog, all rabid and snarling, snapping at the bit and so very eager to prove yourself." The quicksand wasn't a joke though, if it occured in nature she could control it, and she wasn't about to let him get away with a bit of fun first... How much could that body take without damaging the host? She did adore the host after all, her other side was madly in love with him, would die for him if needed... So naturally that concern and protection came over to her side as well. "Now why would I want to scare you? Fear is pointless, it's just a chemical reaction of fight or flight, it amounts to nothing. Fear is... Well... It's boring." Knowledge however...Oh now that could be lush... Watching someone's face as realization sinks in, the very real and genuine acknowledgement that they are going to die in a horrific fashion, oh that... Ohhh... That was... That was just the finest of caviar and the sweetest of champagne for her... "If I wanted to use an animal there are much better options... Brown recluse for instance... Watching your skin and flesh rot and fall off in chunks, turning you into a walking bag of necrosis until you can't stand the pain anymore and kill yourself, that's always delightfully interesting... Or bullet ants, delightful little creatures that tend to swarm, their bite being one of the most painful things a person can feel and it happens over and over again... All over your body..." Oh yes... She could hurt him if she really wanted to but she wasn't here to do that, no she was just... Visiting...

She'd felt him once or twice and she had been waiting so patiently to see him come out... And now? Here he was. She had to tease him about his hair though, it was utterly self serving that, anything to make a statement and it tickled her pink really. Patting it to see the bounce was fun, his snapping at her even more so, especially the Deathhaze denial. "Oooh look at you growl, it's so cute I could almost Barf." She said as she stepped away on that vine that held her just over the quick sand, incredibly light and agile on such precious little feet. "Oh but you ARE. You were adopted after all. Besides, the Anikin is from your weakest part, the Deathhaze was granted by Khorn himself, which I find curious... For someone who complains about weakness you seem... Mighty find of holding onto it." She wriggled her nose at him and mentioned Nautilous at his words? Oh my! That just made her giggle oh so sweet as she walked around him slowly, touching what ever she wished, her hand coming to stroke over a very lovely ass... An appreciative purr as she gripped it before she'd let go and move on to other areas.

"He didn't call me sweet cheeks, you did, and quite loudly I might add... You think he took damage? That's so precious... He came out here and still locked you up like a puppy who pissed on the rug after beating the shit out of your Grandfather to the point that his Sister, She who Thirsts had to go in and stop the fight herself else someone would have been dethroned... Really you should check in more often, get some of those status updates, hmm?" But then again no one really spied like she did, where anything lived she was there, able to watch through the eyes of a single plant if needed... She adored fungus though, the network they had was vast and completely hidden, no one was ever the wiser and she had quite the intel system... "He knows better than to be around when I come out to play... I eat men up like compost, the whole lot of you are little more than pretty pastimes but in the end, ah... You're all the same... You're like... Wood floors... Lay you right the first time and you can just walk all over them for years..." She tapped his cheek lightly with a finger before she'd slide it down along his jaw, across his cheekbones with a purr, up to trace along his ear with a stroking caress at the tip... "Mmm... But I can taste the anger on you, like copper and coal... And those cheekbones... Cheekbones for days..." She'd croon before she let him go. "You mean how Sybelle and Diovan are meant to be dead before the next goody goody festival? Ah been there, done that, nothing to mourn..." Though she also knew she had a semi-drawn target on her own head too. Khorn hated her and loved her all at once, she had so much power but she refused to play with it on his behalf, more of a rebel than a reliable soldier.

The acid in her fingertips was used to melt the runes on those shackles of his, letting them drop into the sand and just as she had promised, they disappeared into the loose and unstable soil as if they were dropped into water. As they had talked she was sure that he was going to try and slide in a sharp little quip and she cut that attempt off before he even started it, her lips curling in a smile as he had to find a different course of conversation, standing on her vines as she watched him just explode her chair. The comment of him wanting her to prove something to him? Oh that had her brow raised and she just leaned forward, resting her arms on his shoulders as she raised herself up on her vines so they were more eye to eye, and while he popped off those trees? New ones would be taking their place, just as thick and strong as the others around them, as if nothing had ever happened even... "Oh sweetheart, your adorable you really, really are but I don't give two rats fucking in a wool socks worth of shit about what you think about me, let alone what your grand pappy does." She said, sliding her hand up his arm before she'd sink it under that leather jacket, between the tails of his shirt and up those rippling abs... Her nails lightly scoring along his skin as she remained oh so close to him. "Strike me Lord of Sparks... Come on... Bring down a bolt on my head... Punish me for daring to touch you without your permission... I'm waiting..." She'd say idly as she played with his body but every time he tried to use those lightning bolts on him? They'd find themselves suddenly diverted every time, going to the trees around them against his will, over and over again they'd constantly fork off and strike the wood. "They're iron wood trees... Lightning adores them and will seek them out every single time. Natures little lightning rods and all that fun stuff... You can't touch me Crow, but oh I can touch you all I want... You'll have to pull out that other trick... The cloning one... Now that might be a good deal of fun."
