[[Here's your chance, Azyca. Others may come as well, it's an open thread ;D]]
“Another dream that will never come true, just to compliment your sorrow… Another life that I've taken from you, a gift to add on to your pain and suffering… Another truth you can never believe has crippled you completely… All the cries you're beginning to hear, trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening…”
Walking calmly in the Valley of Silence, Raven the damned sung softly to himself, carrying his cross behind him, the connecting chains resting on his shoulder and in his hand. He always seemed to enjoy taking random strolls through this dismal setting, and playfully kicked a skull along as he journeyed deeper into the Valley. Judging by the odd shape, he’d say that it was a lycan if anything. Oh well. It rolled as well as any other skull he knew of. It was quiet, and oddly serene here tonight, he thought. The moon was free from any cloud cover, and bathed the area in an eerie blue light.
“Let me enlighten you… This is the way I pray… Living just isn't hard enough, burn me alive, inside… Living my life's not hard enough, take everything away…”
Reaching a makeshift alter, which was really just three stone slabs set up to make a large table, he smiled and gently laid his cross upon it. Standing in front of the small alter, he sighed, spreading his black wings out fully, and closing his eyes as he kneeled down as well. Ah yes, he could envision it now… The countless numbers of fools that he had put an end to in these fields… Oh, how glorious those days were… And how he yearned for them to return. To feel the slick feel of blood on his skin, to hear the symphony of the dying and the cries of the pained, to be able to smell the lingering aroma of Death as he traversed the land, harvesting souls left and right…
Shuddering in joy at the thought, he grinned to himself before opening his eyes and folding his wings back. It was here, he remembered, that he was baptized in blood… Borne on the battlefield with killing as his personal hobby. And to what greater calling was there? Then to force your way onto the pedestal of life, negating another’s right to live, and showing to all, just how powerful you were?

((Eck..Small post..))
Enric was in his own memories as well. This was were he had killed his ruby red love. This is where it had all ended. Looking down, he saw a glint. It was a ring, a wedding ring. Growling, he crushed it in his hand, and chucked it to the side. Smoothing down his shirt, he scoffed at the remaining pieces and turned to leave. His eyes fell upon Raven, admiring the alter, or so it seemed.
Stepping to the side, he planted his sword in the ground and leaned on it, watching Raven. His large black wings fluttered gently as he fluffed them, releasing the foul odor of death that had clung to them since he set foot on this battlefield. He had to admit, the promise of another fight, here, on these lands, made him slime. More blood for him to spill..

[[Forgot to explain how he holds his weapon. ^^"
The grip and trigger are in the circle in the middle, so it can be held out like a pistol. But usually he'll tuck the short stub (top of the cross) under his arm, therefore making most of his shots 'hip-shots.' However, since he can use one hand to wield the weapon, it's not uncommon for him to use it with his arm straight out.]]
As the scent of death drifted over to his nose, Raven smiled. The sound of wings ruffling also caught his attention, and his single eye began to glow in a dull, red hue. Standing up, the fallen angel glanced over to scrutinize his unfamiliar kin, his eye roving over the other male's features. Reaching down to his cross, he gently tugged at one of the many straps, and as if on command, the cloth and leather bindings fell away to the alter. He took hold of the weapon's grip in the circle, and rested his index finger on the trigger while picking it up and pointing it to the sky, resting it back against his shoulder.
"You wouldn't happen to be Jasyn, or Adam, would you..?" Well if he was one of them, then huzzah, that's half of the work done. If not? Well, he didn't mind a scuffle in the moonlight... "If you aren't one of them, have you heard of their names before?" Already walking towards the strange fallen, Raven kept his one eye glowing, a sly smile on his lips. So, a rouge fallen, this should be fun...

Enric scoffed, shaking his head. "doing someone else's dirty work are we?" He scoffed. Looking at Raven, he relaxed as the fallen made his way towards him. "And which one are you> Maggie, or ally?" He asked him back, cocking his head to the side.
Still leaning upon his sword, he found Raven no threat..why waste his energy on this pathetic excuse for a fallen. He had heard of him, he was all mischief..Idiot.

"Unfortunately neither... But I do find dirty work a rather exciting way to kill time, don't you?" Judging from the other's expression and stance, it seemed like he knew of Raven, and didn't really want to fight him. Sure, all he had to fight was a big gun, but he had other tricks up his sleeve, too. Stopping when he was several feet away from Enric, he studied the man's features. "Hm... A rather mysterious one you are... I'm sure you've already heard of me, but I've yet to hear anything about you..."
Still keeping his cross resting against his shoulder, he flashed Enric a playful smile. "Are you that rouge that was betrayed by his dear lover..? If you are, you’re an elusive fellow indeed… But your reputation precedes you, as does mine I’m sure. So tell me, what’s it like? Having your heart practically ripped from your chest? I’m sure it was far more painful then if someone were to rip it our literally, yes?”

Her furrowed his eyebrows...This Raven was testing his patience.."I won't know, she was dead before I could ask. " He answered. "Besides, I find it easier to kill without a heart..." Relaxing her shook his head at Raven. "If your looking for a fight, your out of your league.." He replied gently, sighing.
This Raven was no more than a bully, as was he. Who knew, perhaps these two would get along after the fight, which he was much looking forward to.

"Ah, I see.. A tragic tale indeed." Bringing his cross down, he stood it up in front of him and rested both hands on the top, calmly looking at Enric's expression. He let out a genuine laugh and sighed before giving a nod of agreement. "It sure is, I must agree with you on that one... Enric, correct?" He raised a slender brow, reading the other male's face for any signs. "Well I'm sure you could very well beat me into a bloody pulp, but I have no reason to fight you now other then sport. And since I have no intention of wounding myself before my precious girls get what they want, what say you to rain check on this... 'issue,' of ours, hm?"

Enric couldn't help but crack a small smile. "Yours girls? Since when do you have kids?" He asked, shaking his head. "As for the rain check, I'll be waiting." He told him, pulling his sword up and slinging it over his shoulder. "And just what is it you need to do for them?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

Raven merely laughed at his first comment, and shrugged. "You know how the saying goes, 'birds of a feather flock together,' or something like that. Besides, those two grow on you if you have some shared hobbies.." Brushing the nails on his right hand against his shirt, he paused to look at them before continuing. "You know... If you're so eager to fight, you could help me out here in this endeavor. That is, if you can handle it..." Glancing at Enric, he smiled lightly. "This, Jasyn and Adam... They need to be captured alive, and.. 'examined,' by my girls..."

Enric let the twisted smile creep onto his face. "Your endevour?" He asked, listening. "Well..You have peeked my intrest. Just who are these two? And why are we after them?" He asked, shoving his sword back into the dirt.

"Good.. Help is always welcomed... As for who they are? Just a pair of fallen angels... Why are we hunting them? Well, let's just say that one of my girls is feeling a little betrayed..." Letting the implied meaning sink in, he chuckled softly to himself. "All we have to do is find them, bind them and deliver them."

"Ahh..I understand. Well, under these circumstances, I would be glad to lend my sword in helping you capture these..unfortunate creatures." He responded, nodding his head gently. Picking up his sword, he slung it over his shoulder. "Where do we start?"

"You see, that, my friend, is the problem... Hence me asking if you were one of the two... I've only heard of them, maybe even seen them once or twice, but memory fails me. I suppose the Cove would be a good place to start, but then again, they might have moved elsewhere by now." With a shrug, he frowned. He didn't really like playing cat and mouse. It was a rather long and annoying game for him.

'Great...So we have to hunt them down..." He told him, letting his shoulders droop. "Perfect.." He said sarcastically. "Well, when you find them, come fine me." Like hell he was going to hunt for them..He had better things to do.

Raven chuckled softly to himself, raising up his cross and leaning it back against his shoulder. "Quite the enthusiasm my friend. Very well then, where shall I go looking for you after finding the two trouble makers? I can't promise that I won't get in a fight before you get in on the fun though. I've been told they'll put up one hell of a fight too. Perhaps worthy enough for you to compete against..?"

Raising a brow, he chuckled. "Perhaps..." Placing his sword on his shoulder for the umpteenth time, he cocked his head to the side. "Well...What are you waiting for? Lets go."

Raven nodded, standing his cross up as he beckoned over the cloth strips and leather bindings. Using magic to wrap it around his weapon, he grabbed the chains and slung it over his shoulder. "Sonds like a plan." Hm... Two fallens to hunt down another pair. Should be a exciting fight, he thought... "Since you were a rouge, where would you hide?"
|

Post by bynx on Jun 22, 2007 1:01:34 GMT -5
"I didn't hide." He growled at Raven. Calming himself, he sighed. "What do these two boys prefer? Human or Fallen?
(o.O...that is so a one liner....grrr.....)

He nodded, findin his limits with Enric. "Fallen I assume... Appears that they're lovers. So if you were going out with another fallen, while trying to run from both of Keera's daughters, where would you be?" A tough question indeed... Raven had only spent ellicit moments with females...

Post by bynx on Jun 22, 2007 1:18:04 GMT -5
Enric shrugged. "Depends. Do they know they are being chased, and are they afraid of the girls?" He asked, raising a brow. "If I were running from them..I would go somewhere they usually don't. Where would they not be usually?" He asked.

Post by Tado on Jun 22, 2007 1:19:52 GMT -5
"Quite possibly..." Rubbing his chin as he walked, Raven scowled. "Some where they usually aren't..? Around humans, maybe... That'd help them hide as well. But that city's pretty big." There were tons of places for a couple to hide... Hm, maybe he'd employ the help of more people, then...

"I think you should have entire races after them..It would make it all the more fun..." A crooked grin spread on his face. And just what are we allowed to do when we find them?" He asked, gruesome ideas forming in his head.

"Eh. More fun for us now, isn't it?" Walking along, he chuckled to himself. "Well... As long as they're in one piece and alive... We can rough them up a little if you want. I believe Jasyn is the one Maggie wants to hurt the most though, so I suppose we can just beat on Adam, forcing Jasyn to watch for a bit..."

Nodding, Enric smiled. "As long as someone gets hurt.." He replied. 'So those brats finally got a peice of the real world..It's about time.." He thought to himself. Now they would know how it felt to be hurt..Shaking the thoughts from his mind, the beautiful girl from the falls slipped into her mind. Pushing her out, he grinned. "Lets go."

Taking note of the malice in Enric's tone, he nodded. "Off to the city then!" Making a note to pick up another potential ally there, he smiled. He never really did do 100% of everything. Most of his efforts went to getting others to do the work for him.

Enric had guessed Raven was all talk..That was part of the reason he didn't fight.. An old friend flashed in his mind. "I know someone who will help. Its a female though. Can you contain yourself?" He asked him.
((I need to use Chainz somewhere..Why not here. lol.))

"Oh, another helper? Fantastic... And a female? Well, as long as she doesn't try to rape me I should be fine.." Heck, more the merrier. Why not? He decided. If things got too tough for Enric and his female companion, he'd just dig out once he was sure they would lose.

Post by bynx on Jun 22, 2007 2:17:16 GMT -5
"You'll be lucky if she even looks your way.." He scoffed. Down talking his friend..Psh..She didn't rape..Usually.."Her name is Chainz, ever heard of her?" He asked, raising a brow. "She lurks around the villages a lot.."

Post by Tado on Jun 22, 2007 2:27:24 GMT -5
He paused. "You know that woman..?" Raising a brow at Enric, he chuckled. "Perhaps it's best if she doesn't look my way then. I never was any good at endin one night stands, and I have to say, that was probably my worst experience with a woman, no matter how curved her body." Walking on again, he smiled. "Serves her right for trying to take my soul, but fightin with a woman? An indecent thing indeed."

Raising a brow, Enric stopped, laughed at him. "She went for your soul? Thats funny. You dont strike me as her type....If she has one.." Raising a brow at him, he smirked. "What? You didn't want to end it?" He asked, officially intrigued.
