The Day Lochness Rained Blood....Literally

[ambs]

The sky over mist island and lochness was clear and free from clouds. The wind was calm is smooth. It had seemed that it was somewhat of a peaceful night about the land...for a change. The smoke still burned in the distance from the attack on Sirus' city. Was this calm unusal about this land as of late? maybe.


Suddenly off in the distance thunder could be heard, which wasnt unusual as Lochness always had storms brewing in no time and this was exactly one of those times. The lightning flashed in the distance, the thunder rumbled so hard it would vibrate the ground. The clouds would roll over the land as the storm would blow by. A many times the lightning struck the ground and a many times the thunder would roll vibrating the earths soil as it roared. The was no rain with this storm which was very odd but suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm as if nothing had happened. Many would be confused by what just happened.

It had been nearly 10 minutes of calmness after the storms approach before something so weird, so out of place had happened, a droplet fell from the sky. Another had fallen smacking the ground, then another until it began raining. but this was not just some ordinary rain...oh no...these droplets that fell from the sky was crimson red......It was blood that fell from the sky. Soon the land trees and waters would be covered in crimson. Noone would understand what was going on and would be terrified of the myth of the gods coming back on that day of crimson falling.


Once again flashes of lightning as well as Thunder was in the distance and with the flashes of lightning High upon a mountain in the very far distance in the opposite direction of Sirus' city was a figure clad in black watching over Lochness as the city got rained on in blood.

Who was this person? What did they want? Was it another attacker trying to take the land? Was it really the gods coming to end the world? Was it Lord Sirus attacking a different way?

No one would not know and many would panic in fear.

((Here are the posts in reply from last night. Also a color-coded list:
White = Methuselah
Orange = Ayla
Green = Viconia
Yellow = Aerie
Red = Innocent))

Since Methuselah rescued Innocent, the albino spent his days in between Avalon- where he had taken Innocent to safety from Sirus- and Union City.

The man was alone in a room. There was a large, round table in the middle of the room that was covered in dozens of maps. Blood red orbs glanced about the maps as he was deep in thought on how to infiltrate Sirus’ zone as undetected as possible in order to save Xiu. It seemed impossible. Everything was so well fortified…

A knock at the door interrupted the man. The door opened, and a voice spoke behind him.

“General Methuselah…”
“I’m busy.” Methuselah grumbled, never looking away from the maps before him.
“General, sir, it’s… raining blood in the Loch Ness.”

Methuselah immediately spun around to face the soldier who delivered the message. He watched the soldier for a moment, to see if there would be more explanation, but the soldier seemed just as confused by this than he was. The albino then marched out of the room, past the soldier, and through the halls.

“A sword!” he called out to anyone who would listen. “Mine hath been severely damaged…” he added, a low growl at the memory of the strange scorch marks from Sirus which weakened his beloved black serpentine blade enough to render it useless. A soldier offered his own sword to Methuselah, whom grabbed it and nodded. “Thou havest mine thanks.”

Methuselah headed for the portal, and stepped out into the Loch Ness.

Everything was red. It had stopped ‘raining’, but the red color would still stain the ground until the next regular rainfall. Methuselah shut his eyes as the memory of the blood soaked battle flashed in his mind, of which, as an Ancient, he was the lone survivor of millions of years ago.

The vampire opened his eyes and covered his nose. The smell of the blood was making him hungry, but it was not the time to eat: he had to find out what had happened, and make sure that Ayla, Viconia, and his Little Lady were alright. He sprinted toward Tent City.

*With the blood rain the Trio had stayed inside the dome of Tent City all day. At this time the three of them were sitting around her table talking about Boon's attack on Aerie and the Spell she had put on him. When Ayla looked up seeing Methuselah coming* how are you doing Meth and how did your fight go with Sirus. Esthar is all but gone thanks to Aerie and our attack there I attack his city because of his trying to take my Iron mine. And also his General Boon attack Aerie a few days again but she left him with a little something

*Hearing Ayla talking to Meth Viconia would look at him to* any ideas why it's raining blood out there it kept us from going scouting today. *Then nods hearing her telling him about Boon's attack on Aerie* yea he did but she bugged him and those bugs can talk to Aerie

*Aerie would nod hearing her mother and Viconia tlking about Boon's attack* he really pissed me off that one did he kept calling Ayla my mommy. *she would roll her eyes and shake her head* I hate it when people treat me like a child and I am NOT

The protective dome had been activated over Tent City, so thankfully nothing inside had been tainted red. Methuselah could breathe better inside the City, as the smell of blood was not as present as it was outside of the city.

He found the trio sitting by the Food and drinks tent, unharmed. Methuselah allowed a sigh of relief to escape him as he approached. He nodded to them in greeting before he replied to Ayla.

“Thy Dark Lord cheateth.” He said in reply, with a frown. “The battle didst not last long, as he thought thyne attack on Esthar was of mine doing. Mine life was spared, mine pride hurt, and mine sword rendered useless.” He added, unsheathing his borrowed plain sword from the Union City soldier to show. “Alas, Lady Xiu ist his captive. The choice I hadst to make wast the hardest ever: Xiu’s life… or mine Lady Innocent’s. Though mine mind doth not recall mine Lady Innocent… Mine choice in the end was to save mine wife.”

Methuselah’s expression grew dark for a moment. He hoped upon all hope that Xiu was still alive. When Viconia mentioned the blood rain, Methuselah glanced up at the dome.

“I know not, Lady Viconia.” He replied. “It hath stopped, however…”

He then glanced down at Aerie as she spoke, and smirked.

“Aye, a child thou art not.” He agreed. “Thou art mine Little Lady, fully capable of everything beyond the capability of a child. I art glad that thou ended the battle unharmed.”

*Ayla would listen to Meth and nod* with what Aerie did to Esthar shows that she is not a child *she would then nod hearing Meth telling her that Sirus cheated on their one-on-one fight* he no longer know what it means to fight fair *Hearing about Xiu she looked at Meth* she helped us on our attack how did Sirus get her

*she too would look at Meth hearing about Xiu* the last I saw of her she was attack the tallest tower of Sirus' Castle how did he get her

*She would smile and nod* he never came close to hurting me Meth *she would look at his borrowed plain sword thinking about his damaged sword* to bad my grandfather Alexander Treclimeer Viconia's father. He is great at fixing swords *Then hearing about Xiu she would look at the three of them* Xiu was there I was so busy burning everything I did not see her

Methuselah had seen Aerie fight, before. He had seen her angry- angry at his lady Asuna- angry enough to get excessively warm and be able to use pyrokinetic abilities. He knew what she was able to do, and did not doubt her ability to put a damper on Sirus’ parade by setting Esthar on fire. That, alone, earned her enough faith to be able to handle Boon on her own. Had Methuselah had witnessed the battle, he would not have been too worried of the outcome… not too much. There would have still been a tiny feeling of worry, as Sirus did not fight fair, and Methuselah was convinced that any who worked for Sirus did not fight fair, either.

“Lady Xiu was hit with a dark beam. T’was powerful enough to turneth her back in human form.”

He remembered how Sirus was angry, thinking that the attack on Esthar was Methuselah’s fault, that he had somehow broke his word of a one-on-one battle by having Ayla attack Esthar, when Methuselah had no idea what was even happening to the City. He thought that Sirus was going to launch the beam at him, but he aimed it toward his own City. When Methuselah looked, even as far as it was from where they were battling, he could see Xiu’s red dragon form. But then the Lord LeMene told Methuselah to dig for Innocent, and the albino was forced to make the hardest decision of his life. But he knew that the daughter of the Dragon Lord was very strong and resilient. He knew that she had more of a chance at survival, and Asuna had desperately requested of him Innocent’s safety and return. And so he had kept his word to his beloved.

*She would listen to him ans sigh* Any on where he may be keeping her, maybe we could find her and some how free her

*Viconia looked at Meth* I hope Xiu is alright Adalon really likes her and would sure do her best to help find her

*Aerie would nod hearing the others as she would look at Meth* think maybe we could find her and set her free

“Aye.” He agreed with them. “Alas, Thyne Dark Lord’s domain ist well fortified. T’would be impossible to enter without being detected and killed…” Methuselah sighed and finally sat down at the table with the trio. He slowly shook his head, his blood red orbs on the surface of the table. “I hath studied every angle…” he added, frustrated.

Methuselah didn’t think it could be done without somebody else getting captured… or worse: killed.

*Ayla would listen still looking at him* fortified how, with what wood or something else *She would look at him thinking* if it's just wood Aerie can burn through it and take some of Sirus' guards with it

*Viconia would nod hearing Ayla* and Adalon has Fire, Ice, and Lightening to back all that up

*Aerie would look at Meth* and I have my Tornado Bow fire off a few of those arrow could knock down most anything

“With… everything thou sayeth, and more.” Methuselah replied. He doth use thy mountains as fortification, the sky, darkness… He hath armies from dozens of Realms. Thy Dark Lord knoweth impossible magics.” He added, remembering how unfair Sirus had started out by being a vampire able to use the power of the sun.

Methuselah was not fond of the man to begin with after what he had done to Asuna… and their battle made him dislike the dirty cheater even more.

*She would look at Meth and shake her head* Sirus has no idea just how powerful I am with Lady Ka'Ran's help he just thinks he does, but he does not

*She would listen to the talking and nod* and I'm a Demigoddess well I am but I'm just learning just what all I CAN do but it all helps *She would look around at them all nodding her head

*She would look at Meth* we could threaten to attack Esthar if he doesn't let her go, we have the power to do it if we all work together

“Doth not underestimate thy Dark Lord, m’lady Ayla.” Methuselah said, his blood red orbs on her. “I have. He doth not fight fairly. Sirus can be defeated, however, thy fortifications to his domain ist a different story, much akin to thyne protection over Mist Island: A man- or even a God- willst not allow unwanted entry into his home more than once.”

The albino stood up from his spot at the table. He needed blood.

“I needst blood before I investigate the previous bloody rain. Wouldst thou liketh anything to eat or drink?” he asked the trio.

* Laying in a bed within Avalon ( in which she didnt remember how she got there) Innocent yawned of bordem. Looking over she seen a glass of blood wyne and a note by it. Picking up the glass Innocent took a sip and reached over with the free hand to read the letter:

" M'lady Innocent, I strongly advise you to seek out Kattorea or Angel and remain where you are. I would be back to check up on you in due time, but if you shall need me i'll be at Union City
- Methuselah"

*a gentle smile creeped her lips, "really? he strongly advises i stay put huh? we shall see about that" Innocent climbed out of the bed and sat the glass down upon the stand. She sensed someone nearby and walked by the door where a man stood watching over her room. clearing her voice she spoke gently*

" eh Excuse me kind sir but Lord Methuselah said he was going to be in Union City....How shall i return to him?"

*the guard spoke " M'lady Innocent Lord Methuselah was needed at Lochness for some reason you shall go through this opening and you will be there but i highly advise you to stay here as i have heard that danger could come your way again"

*once again there was that highly advise wish wash. Innocent looked to the guard and shook her head no

" I am wanting to go, we have been apart for far to long. Just hand me my sword please and open the portal"

*the guard knew this wasnt a very good idea but Innocent was a queen, she may not be queen of Avalon but she was a queen non the less so he couldnt disrespect her. He would soon walk away and return a few moments later with a black hooded cloak but no sword. A sigh slipped Innocents lips

" Ah that right.....my sword came up missing in Hellsgate when Kaos was taking over"

*the guard opened the portal and invited her to walk in, Innocent nodded and took a step through appearing just outside the dome around Tent city, her eyes narrowed as the smell and sight of blood was everywhere, the portal closed behind her. Innocent looked to the guards hoping they allowed her to enter. After showing who she was she entered the dome. She had to find out what was going on? why was the land covered in blood? She had a feeling Ayla was in her spot at the food and drinks tent where she would make her way and they would spot her in the distance approaching the table*

*Ayla would look at him and shake her head* I'm not, this isn't the first time he has tried to take Loch Ness he tried when he first got here I beat him then and I can do it again *then shakes her head again when he asked if she wanted anything to eat or drink she would shake her head again* no thanks I ate before you got here but Thank you for asking *Then seeing someone walking towards the table and looks over seeing Innocent coming* hello haven't seen you around here for a while how are you doing my dear niece.

*She would look at Meth and shake her head* we are not afraid of him *She would then shake her head again hearing him ask if she wanted something to eat or drink* I have all ready eaten like Ayla *She to would see Innocent come Viconia was still a bit afraid of this person as she would look at her trying very hard not to let Innocent know that she was afriad of her* hi

*Aerie would also look at Meth as she would point up towards Esthar* we showed him what we could do when we took Esthar and I did face his General Boon alone and here I am to tell about it. I'm not afriad of him either *she too would see Innocent come and smile* welcome back Innocent how are you doing *She would hear Meth asking if she wanted anything to eat or drink and she would shake her head* no thank you Meth I ate with mother and Viconia

It’s not that Methuselah didn’t believe them. He did. But facing off against Sirus alone was one thing. Attacking Esthar while he was distracted would only happen once. Sirus was a dirty cheater, but he was smart. He wasn’t going to let it happen again.

When the trio addressed Innocent, Methuselah shut his eyes. What was it about Asuna and Innocent’s stubbornness that made it so that they did not heed Methuselah’s advice on staying put and out of danger? A silent sigh escaped him as he opened his eyes and nodded as the trio declined food. He headed inside the food tent, and soon emerged with two goblets of blood: one for Innocent, and one for himself.

He stepped over to Innocent, looking her over for a moment, making sure that she was healing well. He gave a silent nod before he offered her one of the goblets.

“Mine Queen.” He acknowledged. He had stopped fighting his confusion on why he seemingly always felt the need to call her that. “Please join us.” He added, offering his arm to her to walk her to the table to join the trio. “Didst thou speaketh with m’lady Asuna Kattorea or m’lady Angel?” he asked her.

*As Innocent approached the table and hearing Ayla and the trio speak to her she gave a gentle smile at the trios geetings towards her and a gentle wave and then hearing Ayla call her niece she arched a brow and gave her a weird look

" niece? ummm ok sure and hello, to you 3. I have been...uh.....occupied you could say. Whats been going on here? Apparently something strange since this land is covered in blood.....which is very odd. Just ike you calling me niece is odd."

*Innocent would reach up and run her fingers through her long red hair and trail it down over her shoulder down to the very tip of her hair which ran down over her chest. Her jade green eyes looked around, her beauty has not changed as the last change was due to Pestella. Innocent was back to herself. Seeing Methuselah she would smile to him gentley as he looked her over and hearing him she spoke softly*

" Ah i thank thee m'love for this wyne and i would be honored to join you"

*with that she wrapped her arm within his and walked by his side, this brought back many memories when they tied the knot. hearing Methuselah ask her if she spoke with her mother or Angel she giggled abit*

" no m'love i have not spoke with my mother or Angel, should have i?"

*She would see the odd look Innocent gave her as she called her niece and she would nod her head* I felt the same way when I saw it in Kain's eyes when he returned with Viconia, he saw me as his sister after all our years on the battle field he felt that it was thicker than blood or marrage he saw he and I as brother and sister

*Viconia would nod hearing Ayla as she would look at Innocent* I remember that day too

*Aerie would listen to Ayla and Viconia talking about Kain and she would sigh a bit* I would just love to meet Kain, mother and Viconia have told me so much about him

He heard Innocent’s mention of the blood-stained lands, and shook his head. “We know not what has caused the blood that rained upon thy lands.”

Unfortunately, Methuselah did not remember his past with Innocent, or ever marrying her, as much as everyone tried to make him remember. He simply couldn’t. He didn’t even know why he always had an urge to call her his Queen. He understood why she called him her love, but it felt strange to him, like a misplaced word.

It did not surprise him that she did not speak with Angel or Kattorea. Especially not since she was away from Avalon after he had advised her to stay in the note he left, as well as letting the room guard know. Surely if she hadn’t read the letter, she would have had to at least speak with the guard, right?

“Aye…” he replied to her as they arrived at the table. “Didst thou find mine note?” he then asked, though deep down inside he knew the answer.

Methuselah waited for Innocent to be seated before he sat down, himself. He heard Aerie’s words about wishing to meet Kain. Methuselah hungrily downed the goblet of blood- he was more hungry than he thought- before he added to what was said.

“Aye. As his General, I wish I couldst remember him. Alas…”

*hearing Ayla she looked to her and laughed abit, it ws indeed weird to be called family to her and even more weird since her and Eric had a fling years ago. her eyes looked to Vici as she made that statement and then to Aerie. speaking softly in her direction

" I dont remember much about my adopted father but i remember he saved me by giving me his blood. rumor had it my husband at the time Jason Taloff didnt care for Kain giving me blood and then Jason left me from what i hear, but that is ok because i do remember Methuselah and marrying him..."

*innocent would smile and look to Methuselah her eyes teary*

"Marrying him was.....er....is the best thing that i remembering that happened"

*reachiing the table she stared at Methuselah a moment still holding that smile, that beautiful smile, she would soon be seated as sheard heard his words she drank her wyne before replying to him*

" of course i did, that is why i am here to be with you....danger smanger. whats the worse that can happen to me?"

*little did everyone know Pestella was no more within but Innocent knew. that still didnt stop her act of power*

[ambs]

ooc: and now i remember, it was Jasons character Alexander taloff LOL not marryinf Jason LOL silly me

[ambs]

*Its been awhile since the weird storm blood rain issue happened and since then it rained and stormed a regular storm clearing the blood off of everything. Out of the random It was raining blood once again Soon the land trees and waters would be re-covered in crimson. Once again Noone would understand what was going on and would be terrified of the myth of the gods coming back on that day of crimson falling. That figure that stood acrossed from Sirus city was now closer to tent city upon the forest borderline from the direction of the West. As soon as the rain stopped all was quiet for awhile when suddenly something happened. The was a trimble and a wave of force unlike none other and the blood began to rise up from the ground and slowly form into the shape of humans and hounds. The blood in the trees began to form into creatures of the sky. As all this was happening the figure that once was in the far distance just walked among the bloody ground and the figures forming with no heitastion of fear. As this figure approached the blood "army" would rise behind it but not make a single step ahead of the leader. If this was seen in the distance all that could be seen was nearly 50 blood figures behind a hooded cloaked figure that stands of 5'8, Blood birds flying through out the air. Eyes from under the hooded cloak would look about slowly as the figures would continue to arise. *

[phoenix]

A dark figure stood silently, arms crossed over his chest, leaning against the trunk of a tree. Voided black orbs of swirling insanity watched the blood army walk behind the hooded leader. His eyes rose to the blood sky creatures that formed from the trees, then fell to a newly formed hound at his feet. The hound growled at the figure in black, but he was not afraid or even worried. Voided black orbs looked back to the hooded figure walking away in the distance as a smirk crawled to his black painted lips.

[ambs]

*feeling eyes upon them the figure in black stopped and looked in the direction of the one by a tree and the blood hound growling at him. They would snap their fingers and suddenly the blood creatures would run in the direction of the one controling them. Slowly the figure would walk towards the tree as the blood army followed. Reaching the man of black swirling insanity orbs and black lips they stood there ever so silent as the blood army stopped behind then. Ice greenish blue eyes pierced from under the hood of the cloak. The hair was well hidden and unseen as the face was cast over with a shadow. Slowly light blackened lips parted as the person was about to speak when suddenly hearing the airship of sirus they looked up before looking back to the figure. A voice one of a woman ever so soft and gentle spoke.

"Thy got na problem?"

[phoenix]

He watched as the hooded figure backtracked, heading toward him, the blood army following with unmatched loyalty. He caught a faint glimpse of icy greenish blue eyes and black lips which parted as if the figure were about to speak. However, the figure paused and looked up at the airship up above. Malrich's gaze followed, and his amused expression vanished, making way to a frown.

Sirus was ruining all of his hard work: He had given the people of Tent City and the Loch Ness nightmares, per Sirus' request. However, he worked extra hard of Xiu. Xiu could no longer tell the difference in between dreams from reality, and was now convinced that Methuselah had killed her father. If Sirus would just let Xiu free, Tent City was going to have a very enraged Red Dragon on their hands. And to top it off, this figure with the blood army was making everything all the better. Malrich couldn't have made it any more perfect if he had tried... Except that Xiu was on the verge of Death.

When the figure's gaze fell back down onto the God of Nightmares, his own gaze fell and met her hidden one once more. His frown disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, and he was back to smirking.

"Problem?" the man repeated, his accent clearly Irish. "Far from it, my dear. With your help, of course."

Malrich pushed himself off of the tree trunk and stepped toward the hooded figure, one arm reaching for her hood in an attempt to peek underneath.

[ambs]

*watching Malrich from the corner of her eye, eyeing the skyship with little to none thrillness about it and then jerk back to look in her direction when she glanced away, hearing his words of her helping him she lightly giggled to herself. She went to speak but stopped as he approached she jerked back away from his attempt to peek under the hood. The blood hounds sensed something and 5 circled around her in protection growling and snarling at Malrich. Suddenly her voice became stern but still had that sweet touch to it*

"kudo alie it-mity uno-for-sa!"

*lightning now began to strike a few times before, some of the blood army split off and headed in the direction of the north. where they where going was unknown but it was opposite of tent city. on the other hand some split off and moved towards tent city as some stayed behind her. Anyone in Tent city would see the creatures now flying in the sky in that direction and the walking red approaching from the distance. meanwhile she stood there and looked to Malrich from under her hood and spoke*

" tsk tsk... no peeking of who i be. I not know of you and seems my hounds doesnt care for you much as well"


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*meanwhile off in the distance a figure in the shadows would be watching Malrich and this mysterious person who is clearly a female. Taking in Malrichs every move towards this lady. Should she approach or stay back and just watch. Malrich would feel this strong vibe and bond with this person.*

[phoenix]

Voided black orbs of swirling insanity watched her as she jerked away from him. His smirk grew wider, more entertained. It turned into a full-fledged grin as five of the Blood Hounds came to her aid, circling her protectively while growling and snarling at the Dreamweaver.

Malrich was not afraid of the Blood Hounds. He was unafraid -period- but he was also a dog-lover. He had Nightmare hounds as pets. Hell, he could shift into a Nightmare hound. He had a Rottweiler guarding the gates to his castle, and something far worse guarding the dungeons. And so he paid no mind to the growls and snarls.

She spoke in a foreign language, and Malrich remained unfazed until the lightning strikes began. His eyes shot to the lightning before they fall back on the blood army as it broke off into groups, then to the hooded figure as she spoke again in the common language.

"Well, then." he started, the mischievous smirk returning to his black painted lips, "Allow me to introduce myself."

Malrich raised his right hand, palm out. The God of Nightmares cast a spell only on the five Blood Hounds that were protectively circling their master, putting them to sleep. His left hand raised with his index finger up, halting the rest of the Blood army, should they wish to attack him. It was not a good idea. Besides... he wasn't hurting anyone (yet...), he simply put the Blood Hounds to sleep. Malrich dropped his hands to his side and took another step toward the hooded figure, in another attempt to peek under her hood.

"Come, now. I showed you mine, now you show me yours." he grinned, speaking about his face. She had seen his real face. Malrich wasn't one to hide his face too often, but, as the God of Nightmares, he definitely had the ability to make it look nightmarishly unpleasant, just like Revenant, his predecessor, used to do.

Despite the strong vibe from the person watching him from the shadows, Malrich paid no attention to anyone but the hooded figure before him.

[ambs]

*she watched the black swirling orbs and then seen the grin upon his face she took a deep breathe to prepare herself in case something like an attack would happen. She noted that he didnt blink an eye at the protective hounds. He offered to introduce himself and so she waited but when all he did was knock out the sleeping hounds she watched him. The stories that were told to her by her mentor if they were true this had to be the tricster who creates nightmares. Seeing who he was now she would glance at him from under the hood and when he attempyted to peek again she shook her head*

" no i do not wish to reveal myself.... you however if the myths are true you are a trickster, one who creates nightmares and i was warned to not trust you"

*she wasnt sure if this was really the one or not but she wasnt taking any risks*

" now if you dont mind..... i have work to do"

*she turned her back to him and pulled her cloack tight to her and the hood tight as well before guiding the army with her. she spoke as she walked*

" ay think someone is seeking you......"

*she was refering to the figure off into the shadows*

[phoenix]

A childish giggle escaped him when the hooded woman told him that she was warned not to trust him. "And they're right! But I know you're curious." he grinned.

The God of Nightmares watched as she turned after telling him that she had work to do, pulling her hood and cloak tighter around her as if a precaution in case he tried something. As amused as Malrich was, he didn't move. he simply stood where he was, his grin still on his black painted lips.

Malrich paid no attention to her last comment of somebody seeking him. He knew full well that somebody was watching him. He knew full well who it was, too. The figure would be dealt with soon. Voided black eyes of swirling insanity remained on the hooded figure and her Blood army. He could use the Blood army well to fuel the nightmares of the people of the Loch Ness. Now if only Sirus would release Xiu. Sirus wanted Malrich to make the people of the Loch Ness' nightmares come true? A very angry Red Dragon and a Blood army were icing on the cake. Malrich swayed back and forth, rocking on his toes and heels, fidgety. He then vanished in the blink of an eye.

Just as quickly as he had vanished, he was there, standing directly in front of the figure that had been watching him in the shadows, making one wonder if he had always been there the whole time. Just as quickly as he had appeared, he grabbed the figure by the throat. The insanity in his eyes doubled. There was a mischievous glint. dangerous. And then suddenly Malrich forced a kiss upon the figure.

He eventually pulled away, a smirk on his black painted lips. His hold on the figure's throat loosened and his other hand grabbed the figure's chin, moving it this way and that as if he was making sure nothing was wrong.

"So you did manage to escape the implosion." he said to the figure. "I'm glad."
