Anaya: She could hear it, loss, something was dead and dieing in the emptiness of the expanse before her, blackness of a whole that formed into walls leading her to where she needed to be, were Caliga guided her every action. “A child of her father's graces, never forget who you are” voices, there were always voices be them real or be them insanity there words were followed without question. Long black clawed fingers wrapped around a silver chalice as lips of empty black touched the rim to drink apple wine with such poise and an odd grace to each simple movement. A crisp breath escaped clasped lips as she stood up from a chair that just faded into dust and into nothingness. “My….Abbadon” a small voice whispered from its knees at her flank. The small fragile wings of Millisadra clung to her chained nudity as she dare not pester her owner more than needed, and even that was too much. Empty black holes looked at the girl as she towered over the pathetic sex driven mutt dog on its knees. “We shall depart” words cold and stern as always left the beast of a woman's lips, well if you could even call Abbadon a woman over just calling her a monster. The girl also known as Milly or simply girl gave a bow of her head as she picked up the heavy chain, so much heavier here in this empty space every link with words carved into the bindings, each letter carved be there owner, scripture words to remind the girl who owned her. Blue eyes looked up at Abbadon as the chain became tight on her neck and Abbadon gave a harsh tug but did not say a word. Milly barked softly in pain as her black tail flicked behind her. The girl holding out her hands to Abbadon a black blindfold in her fingers held up as her eyes looked down never daring to look upon Abbadon’s face. “You will stay here, wall i depart” was all Abbadon said as she took the blindfold from the disgusting pathetic mutt of flesh and dropped the chain as it flowed into what seemed to be ground, but did not act as ground, the chain locked in place “but i wish to go with you!” the girl cried out on deaf ears as Abbadon vanished into the blackness.
Do you ever walk into a place and feel the back of your neck stand on end, feel the jaws of death clammy and cold touching you but yet nothing is there, that was what she felt like, like emptiness, like work left undone, like death's fingers wrapped around your neck, slowly taking what rightfully belongs to him, sucking away one's happiness, one’s joy, one’s very sense of self, ones identity. But at the same time she was a monster, she was beauty, the purest image of dark beauty, a figure that none could beat, hips curved in a flawless hourglass figure, not thinly built but not overdoing it with mass. She was tall fifteen feet at the shoulder, jet black hair that fell just under heaving mountainous beasts. But what stood out the most was her monstrous hulking black feathered wings, like one of a angel made of black, unknown material, when feathers were fine, delicate and soft hers were hard and rugged, as if the edges were sharpened steel or some aloy of metal base components. Her wings folded softly to her back the tips dragging along the ground as there bottoms lightly clicked against the dark stone as blood dripped down her fingers and the head of a goat fell from her fingers dropping to the floor. She had picked the whole goat up along the way but parts ended up here and there on her way and all that was left was the head, witch now found itself here. But there was something missing from where she had come, from the citadel, it had been so long since she moved along the floors here, talked with the other Vissers, talked with a prime every now again, and the others of her kinn and under Caligas grace. But it was empty, where had they gone. She pondered it for only a second then with them gone, she was the only Visser left, was the one known as Fides still left? She had yet to meet the being that was the top of the pecking order for there level. She would meet him, his essence still lingered he was around she was sure of it, but there was not any others. She could feel the lingering power soaking into her being, a sort of power boost, home ground boost and promotion from the lost, but she would have to find Fides to gain more, she would find him to gain so much more, she needed to. Walking into the place she walked upon the old fountain, her fingers clawed along the edges as she was almost happy inside at the old thing still being here. And she stayed at that spot, her glowing red presence and umbral signature filling up the building with the sweet yet erry smell of Vanilla and a hint of earthy chive.
The air thickened. While to any layman it would’ve counted as no concern, from it came something odd – the throttling of hooves upon concrete pavement as black horses rode in front of a silver crested carriage following a road with no destinations through the realms of the wicked and tainted – the Damned beasts howled, they – much like their owner – still of breath; empty sockets revealed the void quality of their nature, with manes which twisted and swirled through the air in their dark tango, upon reaching the gates of that hidden jewel which was the Citadel. The carriage would’ve appeared, with no recollection of ever being there – a mere illusion which distorted reality to the point of pure nihilism, its doors opening wide. From them stepped a figure clad in black; a noble stature of the most imposing man, a lean frame with toned muscles and skin of alabaster white, flawless to the very edge of perfection, should it ever exist. His features, sharp, sculpted by the uttermost skilled Architect, the sharp jawline piercing first through the darkness – a slightly curved nose, with thin lips to follow which smirked wickedly to his surroundings. He took notice of it all with the help of two sapphire pools, so undeniably cold in order to chill to the bone, so scolding ablaze to burn the flesh. He was a pure incarnation of Narcissus in its demeanor, the black fur upon his shoulders ending in two thin tendrils which seemed to slash through the air like sharp blades. Gloves covered his limbs as digits clasped against the knob of a black cane, guiding him towards the Citadel’s doors. Silken strands of snow were carried by the cold breeze of the woods, strays covering part of his features as long digits only pushed them aside, around his ear. The Gentleman Monster stepped in – and upon his sculpted features was a Cheshire-like grin – each step perfectly calculated with the sole intent of existing, in a place where he almost did not, while entropy itself seemed to dismember itself to his presence. He was perfectly still when he wished to – and perfectly in motion when he did not. The handsome appearance of him, an anomaly of everything and anything natural upon the world; a façade of beauty of the most obscene – this, the Monster which now roamed the halls of the most unlikely, was Faust Allegro. Gloved digits picked up a silver container which held smokes of an unknown brand, black papered. End to his lips, as the tip burned by a solitary flame. “Good evening.” He spoke, to nobody in particular, in a baritone note, guttural deep, musically pleasing.
Abbadons head turned as she could hear a voice, her wings went up above her to outstretch their feathers clicking together as of a suit of armor had all clicked together. It was out of habbit but she lowered them back down she did not have to show her stature here, this was her….home? It was a question within the mass of her mind but she would make it home, be it by force or choice this was were she would rest her wings, were she would stay in times that she was not out spreading the word of Caliga to other people, other places. Her empty face looked upon the male, it smelled of male, it felt of male but she saw nothing but blackness in the end, beautiful flawless blackness. Her feet on the floor with nothing on them as the black smoke swayed around them, she saw with her feet for the moment part, feeling the flow of the world or land she was in and here it was like she had eyes she could see darkness, and here that id what there was, she was so good here she would almost be able to see the males face and features other then the basic outline of his body. “Who be you?” she said in that cold stern voice she held, the voice that did not come from lips but from her core, the black talked it did not sound like her words came from her face but came from her whole being. Like the wind waveing in the trees you could feel it and hear it all around you, she did the same. Her black wings held behind her draged on the floor as her foot moved a head and the slight sound of draging metal made the area a bit more unsteddy. And her head tilted looking at the puzzling one before her and the fact that here she could see him as if she had eyes, which was amusing to say the least and enjoyed.
“My, aren’t you a sight.” The man chuckled. Though at a distance, she was quite easy to see, clear as daylight. Rubys roamed along her figure – from top to bottom, head to toe – in a lustful demeanor, though far from carnal bounds of such connotation. “Pardon me intruding upon your home – I seem to be quite lost.” He lied. “… perhaps it would’ve been wiser to knock?” He humored the femme before him – or what he had thought to be feminine – one arm coming to curl around his chest as figure bowed at the waist. “Allegro, Faust.” He introduced himself as only a Gentleman would deem fit to, other arm extending towards her in an offer – should she accept, cold lips would place upon her knuckles like ice. Should she not, he would retreat the appendage as such. “Would you be so kind as to inform me of my whereabouts, Miss…?” Faust asked for her name, the only polite way he could possibly bring himself to, taking another deep drag from his cigarette, burning closer and closer to the end as the smoke swirled.
She let out what seemed like a breath of no air, only the sound, witch seemed to echo around them in the silence that held for a moment. he was close and she put out her hand for him to take. the sparking red around her burned a bit brighter as she thought on it all, the voice in her head as of laughing 'just one, just one, bring darkness to him, he will enjoy it' yes, he seemed like he would, and the voice was not wrong "Abbadon, The Wings of Caliga is myself, Visser and voice of the words of our lord in Darkness, witch you find yourself in his temple, home, sanctuary, no better place to find the one true almighty us, sic narro nos totus" they were in her home, Her church for Her lord, and as she thought of it being hers her feet moved slightly black tendrils seeping into the blackness under her it all mashed together black floor, black epping veins into it, if one did not look really hard it all looked the same, but in time that black would mark the rest of the black as its own, leaving her signature on the very stones, leaving her mark saying this is mine now, claimed. witch she was sure would anger any other kinn around, but that did not matter, this was her own now, and she would fight for that claim if needed and if male would do she would take him to as her own, lay claim and turn him to darkness and a follower, like she had done with her other thrall. she watched as she waited for that kiss, inside she was on the edge of her seat but on the outside she was emotionless and uncaring, but if his lips were to hit her skin that would all change so very fast. "what brought you here? why have you come to seek the darkness out were it lives" she questioned.
Instead of a kiss, she’d feel a small breeze from his lips – cold as it was – as the man’s digits curled around her slim, dark limb admiring each curve of it, each line on her palm as though she was a masterpiece and he, a critic analyzing it thoroughly. Listening to her words only brought out a soft coo from those pale thin lips, now curled in their usual Cheshire-like grin, wide. “Aren’t we all lost once in awhile, while following the path of our choosing? The Short Road, or the Long; The Oasis, or the Endless Sea.” His words spoke of metaphors much like the never faltering rambles of a madman, going on a loop. Perhaps he was; perhaps Insanity took ahold of the man, gripping him tightly like a greedy Mistress and forcing him to succumb to its tethers, surrender to its loving, tantalizing kiss. “Abbadon.” He called her name as he jolted upwards to stand up straight once more. “Your titles only enforce me to speak of mine.” The man taunted her – teased, in the most seductive way one could, with a confidence that would place him at the arm of any woman, at any moment. “I go by many names as well. They call me the Old Guard. The Waiting One.” What he waited for, he did not say. “… Old Scratch. Now, that’s such an old one…” Faust sighed, as though lost in the memories of a life he no longer lived, an existence so flawed it had to be erased from history itself. “Tell me, Abbadon.” He’d circle now, slow. Each step, in perfect tandem to move his body along like a Predator in its prime, a beast unleashed for now, now they were dancing the dance of Monsters. “What Road do you think you are one? What road do you think your… Lord and Savior…” He grinned, ironically so. “…is on? The Long, or the Short? The Endless Sea, or the Oasis?” Faust repeated himself, like a broken tape. A madman, falling deeper into insanity.
Abbadon did not move as he walked around her, in a ring, like a tiger ringing a helpless animal to consume, but a pray item would flee, she was no pray item and never would be, she was made to be a Visser, top of the pecking order. as his fingers held her hand and he looked upon black lines, a shape pf flowing blackness held together by power alone. as his skin touched her own small black dots formed on his skin but then vanished as if never there, but they were there, when she wanted them to be, and for the time being they would live within him, her essence, Caliga's darkness. as soon as they vanished, there would be a small voice within him, small almost unnoticed "pritty pritty pritty please, live, for me, live, for me to find yourself" a whisper in the blackness a voice wanting to be acknowledged to be made bigger. "Darkness is not a sea, we are the sky, endless without mass breaking our flow, without islands without ground, with no end and no beginning no start, no end, Caliga is life and death, start and finish, beginning and end, Ouroboros is we. a path in life is for the ones walking, he is on no path long or snort for he is the path its self, for ones to walk and be drawn into its beautiful splendor, Calida is darkness, and we are children of darkness made solid with voice" softly she turned her movements fluid with no breaks like that of a human or normal being, she was erry, still but moving, flowing unnaturally. her empty face looked upon the man as he talked as if he was missing part of his mind, like he had a hole within him within his being that needed to be filled with something. it would be, it had already started to be, it would just take as much time as Abbadon wanted to kick into gear, the darkness now placed within his flesh would linger for years being small or take moments to turn him fully black and into a thrall to work for her and her alone, to be used and made her own. but only if he was seen as worth it, if not then one did not seed him and he would be turned black to nothingness to a nonexistant mass of empty space. "We have one name, that of witch is Sinn, and i am the wings of our All Father, Apax Visser of Kinn"her pride was filled as she looked at him, even if it was not fully truth it was gray zone and far from a lie.
“You are such a proud Little Black Sheep.” He grinned at her so wickedly. The raw emotion which lingered through his words towards her, the sharp venom upon his tongue, spat out at her. “You follow your Lord like a blind Lamb, so desperate to open the seals that have been offered to you, dangled before you like a carrot before a mule to make it walk. The Long Road is far more than that – The Ascension to the Throne, the ultimate sacrifice of releasing and denying divinity.” Faust sighed at that. Then and there, it happened, an anomaly which made him appear so much older now, almost frowning upon her. A Gentleman Monster; Now, so much the former, than the latter. “Perhaps I overestimated you. Perhaps you may not be ready for what the Long Road would be taking from you, my dear.” A twitch of his brow followed suite as the voice whispered within his mind, brows furling inwards, visibly displeased. Sapphire orbs pierced into the nothingness of hers, a look filled with disgust and passive aggression. “It is advisable not to toy with what is still unknown to you, Miss.” He’d settle for calling her ‘Miss’, instead of acknowledging her given name. Digits then pulled at his gloves, slowly but surely discarding them from his limbs as the vision of his flesh became evident to her – scarred skin covered his hands – burnt and bruised, so visibly wounded that the alabaster sheen now became black, dripping coagulated black tar. “When two Monsters meet…” He began, his voice, a cold edge. “… there can only be one of Three possible outcomes: They either Fight, Hunt, or Mate.” A pause. A wide grin, as he eyed her carefully with a snap of his neck to the side. “…as the saying goes.”
Abbadon did not waver, maybe that is what angered him, he spat so much at her but she never made any attempty to lash back, yet, her empty face looked down at him as upon her lips a smile did form, but she was not happy she did not feel that, it was for cosmetic value. and within his mind the voice was a little louder, it was noticed he was reacting, it would grow "in his own voice it just kept repeating It is advisable not to toy with what is still unknown to you,It is advisable not to toy with what is still unknown to you," over and over and over again like a broken record till that little voice stoped. "dont tempt fate" was all it whispered and then it went fully silent, like overly silent, there was no words no feeling it was emptness as she looked at him. "I am nothing little, Caliga made the choice to personally take my offering and make grant me my powers that are above all others. and i am far from blind of him and dont blindly follow him as he is not only a voice in the wind but a true being as you and I. i am no sheep following an invisible god on high. " she turned as she looked over the room darkness as far as one could see, a building in a emptiness of black swaying shadows and darkness. "you see blackness, you see a building, you are blind to what is really there, the power that holds this place in its grips, the very fabric of this world is not able to be seen by your eyes. but if you look inside you now you have the ability to see truly, all you have to do is ask for it" her face turned back to him as her stature was over him her wings to her back as her one hand moved down her fingers touching the spine of her tome lashed to her hip by a black leather strap. "can you see the color within the blackness, can you hear the voices in the empty abyss, the father has always been here, even for you lost one in a place you have yet to understand."
‘Perhaps you didn’t quite understand me, Miss.’ He spoke, yet with unmoving lips; a response to the voice within his head which only echoed back through his own thoughts, for he knew she could hear – he knew /it/ could hear. “You see I, much like your Caliga, am a Creator; And one of my prized possessions ran away from me, so eager to join your…” A pause. Scarred digits curled in mid-air forming quotation marks as his voice only dwelled in the irony. “… flock.” Faust took less than lightly to betrayal – especially from his own experiments for he, the Puppet Master, was a Monster who made peace with his own obscenely vulgar nature. “I want her back. I want her returned to me, for I am who she belongs to.” He gazed at her through half-closed lids, sapphires gleaming as his gloves were once more put on, picking up another cigarette. Lighting the tip, and a long, deep drag. “A sheep of mine has left the fold. And I do not wish to take a replacement from your Architect’s own.” It sounded much like a warning, a threat – though it was far from something so petty. No. He made no threats – he made a statement.
Abbadons flames got a bit brighter, he said something that made a bit more of an impact this time, his last line, that last line that left his lips hit a note in her. her empty face looked at him as her wings started to move on her back, they were rising slowly to about half mass just a show to say you are talking to much and it is now hitting notes it sould not be hitting. "no one is like Caliga, for none of his children would leave him willingly. it only shows how different you are. for he makes loyalty and children and you make abominations of things you wish to follow you. if you were a good father then your child would not have ever left to join another now would it" she did not do anything other then the show, she would never lay the first blow to another, it was not her way, not the Vissers way, sinners tossed punches, she was higher then that, higher then laying a simple blow to the face or body. the voice in the males head was a little louder. "no no no, she cant hear you in here, did not stutter, we did not stutter, we all float here, the flock flock flock" it rambled on "ask for it, just, ask me, we can fix your problem, get the girly back, want the girly back dont you? just ask it is simple" and for the first time within the head of the man the voice was crystal clear and as if a person was right beside him. "just let darkness touch you inside. Ask for it. We cant lie to you" the voice lingered in the last words as Abbadon kept on looking at him, looking through him, a gaze that sent shivers up the spine, the now strong smell of vanilla over powering the nose so it was the only smell around. "it would not be wise to try to take what is not yours, we can be a warm hand but also a blade to your neck" her words cold and stern as she looked at him the red smoke flowing from her eyes and behind that red bright blindfold.
It was almost odd, the following course of actions. How lighthearted his laugh now was, how his grin seemed to shift into a warm, almost intoxicant sweet smile with a tilt of his head to the right side – and then, to the left – as though oscillating in the uncertainty of it all, the indecisiveness of his thoughts. The voice only rang louder in his mind, though it was not alone – there was another – aside from his own, which now rang through the mind of the Monster. ‘He is already taken, mon petit.’ The voice rang vicious. A hissing noise of a slithering serpent, the imagery of a crimson snake slithering now around the man’s neck: an Illusion which passed through to Reality. “I’m afraid I’m already spoken for, to another kind of Darkness.” He smiled, in an ironic chortle as the snake only tightened its grip. “I am a damned and condemned man, Miss.” He admitted to it so casually as the man only stepped forth towards her. Then and there, he grew through the same illusion as the snake, reaching her height and a head more. Gloved limb slithered lightly for her neck, curving around in a delicate, soft hold as he would bring her in, to her own accord. Faust murred when the satin fabric touched what seemed to be her flesh, though by now he knew better – the feeling of her darkness so violently forcing its way within her mind only brought another laughter from his frame – now more mania filled. Now, more devilish. “Everyone has a Master, mon petit. Even you, and oddly so, even I. What loyalty would I be worth should I switch so easily and succumb to you? Would I not be just like the sheep who so easily deceived me, and promised herself to another? Would I not be as disgusting as the weakling which fled from under my wing?” As he spoke, his lips would only draw in nearer to the black horns upon the side of her face. The illusionary snake hissed; A noose around his neck, an endless grip. “If you will not help me find the girl, at least help me understand this: What makes you a Monster, Abbadon?” The whispering touch echoed like an agonizing scream, though barely audible through the Halls of the most unlikely. The Cheshire like grin found its way back upon the male’s features – a signature of the Gentleman Monster.
As his touch came to her neck to pull her into him, pull them almost face to face she allowed it, but it had a price on every touch he would very soon find out the hard way. "what makes me a monster, nothing, for I am not a monster, I am a Visser and I am Caligas wings no monster could be that" her lips never moved the words came from her very core as his skin, that touched her was becoming infected with blackness, the black tendrles were not fading down, they already had, there was already darkness inside of the males body for it to link to and it had been there for a little bit so it had chance to establish its self and be acknowledged and grow. "it is beautiful isn't it,the black shade that comes to ones skin when they take a bit of me into them. that voice you hear, it is meant to guide you, black out what ever is there, and it will, black out the red, red is a color weaker then nothingness. and if it cant black out what is inside you and you dont allow it to guide your actions it will just turn you into, well nothing, like you never existed at all. to be blacked out" his hand that was at her neck was no longer able to grab anything as what seemed like skin turned to smoke in his fingers and then came back to make her neck once more. she moved her fingers to slide down his hip to take the treasure that was her tome from her hip cord and open a page running her fingers along the fine bumps littering the black page. "in first days there was darkness, Caliga was born of darkness, made solid, a darkness so thick light could not seep into it, a darkness so dense all would be consumed within it to not be seen. what is this darkness to us all, it is life, it is everything, for we are nothing, but we are everything, all places but no place" she looked up her blindfold looking right at the man before her "you may be a monster, it is a word you call yourself, a word that holds no glory, no pride within it for it is something born of disgust, vilonce, weakness. that is what makes us so very different. you call your owner a master, a being to follow out of duty out of a job, you are ordered and you obey and do as your master commands. but I, Follow my Lord as he is my Father, my Protector, and my Ally i follow not blindly doing orders but with vision grander then any mortals eyes or even yours could fathom. you say you belong to another, you are owned, that is sad for you for ownership is a life spent in a invisible chain, life spent as a slave to something that knows it owns you. i follow not due to order or duty but out of honor and loyalty. I stand for something, what do you stand for " that last line that left her was harder then every other one, insulting as to say he stood for nothing. wall her words ended that black on his hand had gotten to his wrist. the voice in his head starting to get louder "sever the limb before infection spreads, to late already done ne ne ne ne ne. just ask and it will stop, just ask and it will all be over, you can be her friend you know, ne ne, she can be that owner you talk about, she is a good looking owner dont ya think" the voice was enjoying its self and in the end even Abbadon did not know what the voice really was, be it the voice of darkness the voice of nothing, just a random voice that came with people going a little mad wall they were being consumed by her darkness, but it was there, and it was something to deal with for the soul that was going to end up swallowed.
“You quite enjoy playing with what you yet fail to understand, don’t you, Little Lamb?” His voice murred out to her softly as the man’s grin only stood prominent upon those alabaster sharp features as two of his digits only tapped lightly against her cheek, a couple of times before retreating. “You’re so prideful in displaying the power your Caliga has offered you that you’ve become blind to the very nature of your being; We are all Monsters, to some extent. The very reasoning of just what exactly makes us monstrous, is where we differ.” Faust sighed as the voice only urged him to give in more and more – it was like an annoying mosquito buzzing obnoxiously in his ear, sapphire orbs noticing the seemingly grotesque necrosis which took place upon his limb. It only brought a smile from him. A shake of his head, as he departed from the femme slowly. “Do you want to know what makes /me/ a Monster, Miss?” He spoke, as a chair pulled out for him with no recollection of it ever being there. He sat, cross-legged, arms resting elbows against his knee. “What makes me a Monster is that it /does/ make a difference to you, whether I stay or leave.” – before she could say anything, a gloved digit rose up; wiggled in the air, signaling silence. “… it does make a difference to you, for if I leave, you won’t know if I’m actually gone, truly.” There it was, the actual Gentleman Monster peeking through – now, more the latter than the former – as Faust could only sigh into his own lost nature. He was a prisoner of something, someone far beyond the understanding of others – there was a Darkness within him which knew not of a Caliga, a God or a Devil. There was only it, consuming him, condemning him. “I do not wish to fight you, Abbadon. I am not here to measure and compare the powers of your Father to mine, or my own Master. You don’t have to display your might for me; Although if you so desire to get your ego tickled that badly, you could’ve just asked.” It was only then when she would realize just how wicked the man could be; when he rose from his chair and stretched out as though nothing had happened, as he so casually snapped and strained his muscles – and yawned. Deep, and dark. He was cold, near freezing. Pulsating, and unearthly strong. Rough, yet so agonizingly dull. The Puppeteer was bored. “I believed you were ready for what the Long Road had to offer you.” A pause. A shake of his head, followed by an ironic ‘Tsk’, as his sapphires only eyed her coldly. A sharp edge of a merciless blade. “I was mistaken. I do apologize for wasting your time, Miss.” With that, he bowed once more.
that black on his arm was growing, and it was not slowing down or stopping, and his arm was starting to fade away, he was doing nothing to stop it, nothing to fight it, did he just want to fade away into nothingness, cease to exist, did he think that strongly of himself that he just kept talking and ignoring the fact he was going to just fade away and the very memory of him would vanish. he was going to be blacked out and he did not seem to care about it and just kept talking, like a thing that thought it held value to her. it did not matter if he died here and now or walked out or stayed, none of that mattered to Abbadon, as soon as he was blacked out he would not even be remembered, images of him would vanish he would be gone and he allowed it all to take place, to happen, to go past the point of no return and not seem to have it affect you. before he used words to call himself the devil, saten, the one that is in the godly books, but even that had no chance to not just be erased, it would fade away like everything else. "you stand there and think you matter, think your being here matters think that your master compares to my Father, when in the end my father is also your own, he is the father of your god, the father of the christian god, the other worldly gods, to all of it as all of them start one way a being born in darkness. but my Father, is the darkness you and your master was born in. but you, came here, to see me. and sadly you will not exist when you leave you will just be blacked away. you are not worthy for a gift i could have given you, a freedom from what binds you, but you will fowl the blood if i were to take you in, you don't see like you sould" Abbadon did not allow his next touch the tap on her cheek. his finger just taped on shadow and then her cheek formed back. her wings lifted over her head as they held themselves at full mass and she started to laugh. it was a odd thing a Visser laughing it was this rasped cracked sound that came from no place but every place, the walls were laughing, the floor was laughing the laughing sound was coming from the whole room they were standing in, the empty black hall with no pillars and nothing but this rug and small fountain that did not touch the floor. her hand came to her chest as she kept laughing, it was funny, he was doing nothing but talking, like he mattered, it was like he thought she cared. but then after a moment she stopped watching that black vine like pattern start to creep up his neck, over his chest, to the side of his face, it even was starting to show up on his other hand and legs under his pants, it was growing within him and not stopping, it would black out everything, his insides, his self, anything that embraced him inside, any other beings that lived within him would lose there host and be forced into a small black bead that would hit the ground when he faded away being blacked out a consuming everything darkness. like a black hole taking everything in, but inverted as it was inside already and allowed to be there and was now growing out. "so, what is your next action being of none, to talk more of your owner who holds your being in there hands and uses you, or to at last ask me to make the blackness stop before it eats you and you are erased. you wont be able to get that girl back will you if you cease to exist"
“Ah, but you see…” The man began to speak. His voice seemed to be nothing but an echo through the halls now, a whispering sensation through the wind – just as though there was no actual being present to host such sounds. Then, his arms came to cross against his chest – whatever was left of it, not yet engulfed by her dark attempts to bind him, black him out, erase him. His arms crossed, as one gloved palm supported the weight of his head tilted to the side, as Faust only smiled. “…what certainty do you even have that I was ever here, Miss?” He muttered those words out, clear as day; though vague as the dense fog during an autumn morning. “The fact that you’ve seen me enter this place? The fact that my carriage is outside? The fact that I am right here, speaking to you right now? What makes you so sure I was ever here to begin with?” He’d pause, then, to match up her own laughter. A deeper one. A colder one. And then, to brush it all off, came a shrug of his shoulders, so painfully heavy that they soon dropped, drooped down lazily and exhausted. A disappointed look overcame his features with a deep-set frown to enhance his gaze of utter pity towards the femme which proved herself to be blinder than her blindfold, denser than the book she carried. “… what makes me a Monster is the fact that if I leave, you’d never know whether or not I am truly gone. And if I stay, you have no certainty that I am, in fact, here.” It would only take a minute longer before her supposed darkness would envelop him fully – only a minute longer and he, as she so called it, would’ve been erased from reality – this reality – and yet he had no fear towards the aspects of it. Instead, he moved. A step to the side, for that was all Faust had ever been. The Aside. A practitioner of the Lonely. The Long Road, and the Endless Sea.
[C] Before departing, Faust did one last thing; head tilted up to the tall ceiling of the Citadel – to the sky above. “It’s your move now. I’ve come to you – Now it’s your turn. Find me, before I find her.” It was clear as day that by this point in time he was no longer talking to the femme before her, to the Miss he made acquaintance with moments before, no. He turned towards the nothingness as nothingness seemed to envelop his figure until full darkness. He turned, and gazed at her over his shoulder – looked through her, much like she was glass. “…because I will find her. I will take back what’s mine. And when I do. Well…” Just like that, he was gone. Perhaps Abbadon’s darkness erased him from existence – perhaps he was never there, to begin with. There was a lingering whisper through the halls – a laughter full of mania and a voice which mocked their very own Lord. “May Caliga have mercy on you, when I find her.”
Abbadon looked to him, he was fading away but she still smiled, on her face, it did not go back to being numb, even if he was fake, a card trick, a safety switch that hew would turn off, even an illusion had a bond to the original host body a link. she looked at him, but past him, into him and that voice inside his head was no longer in the illusions mind, but in the real mind. "she knows man, she can see you, she always knew, you are still sick she is still inside of you" Abbadons consuming darkness consumed everything, into ones essence into ones soul to eat into everything to fully erase a memory of a person it needed to remove there very existence and even touch into time its self to finish all loss ends, a useful skill to make sure things stayed the way they sould be remove bad things from time and space and make things go back to the way the balance sould be. and she stood there, smiling, her wings lowering as she put them down to make it more comfortable "till we meet again then, witch we will and when the days get shorter for you, simply pray into the darkness and i shall hear you, no matter were you are" the whole time she hardly tryed, all she did was allow him to touch her knowing full well he was not real, Abbadons vision was far from blind, but she was fine with him believing it. after he had faded away and said his last words and departed Abbadon turned "around all of us can find you now, you and your lord they just have to follow my mark upon your being" she chuckled as she walked into the darkness to another room, empty still, god it was empty here but it was nice, she enjoyed the silence as she sat down in a chair running her finger along the bumps on the black pages of her tome to read it in silence,
Softly she sat down upon a large chair as her wings moved along the floor and her side as she walked and sat pushing into the large chair, nothing seemed to sit right as she moved her legs her finger running along the side of her beloved tome and the small bumps on the side. Her aura flickered as she felt them and enjoyed the words it was like music within her mind the closest to happiness she could be was reading her tome. But this stink, it was all over “i can feel you around you know, you never left did you, this place smells of you even after the years i have been gone from others as us, the smell of others, of us, can't be forgotten” she kept her face to her tome as she let out the sound of a breath even if no air passed her lips. Clawed fingers moved up from reading her tome as she took her fingers to undo the blindfold on her face. She enjoyed keeping it on to keep others from seeing the fact she was without the kinns six bright eyes but among kinn and among him she need not care as much as she would others under them. For ones under them did not need to know, they did not deserve to know, and she was sure that the one that was all places here would already know regardless, as she was very knowing in the stories of the wings of there father and how it all came to be was a good well told story book. As she took the red blindfold and put it down on the armrest of the chair the empty black face with red smoke lightly billowing out of her empty holes in her face. It was a strange thing really, to see one with nothing but a black face, so empty not even eyes or lips to brighten anything up. As she turned her face back down to her book she waited, wondered, would he make a grand entrance or would it be small and simple, she wondered if she had to prove herself, what their first meeting after almost ten thousand years or more would be like.
She might have felt it…well she would, it would be impossible not to. It was only a faint echo of the true majesty…a small sliver of its grandiose being, an odd sort of warmth, which could be interpreted as a smile at her astute nature. Its manifestation would not come full force at least not now, there was no need, it would be as a quite conversation between father and daughter. Given the grand power of the Evincar she would be the only one aware it was here by its wishes. Even were another to enter it would go unnoticed by others, at least initially. There would of course be a massive amount of energy in the air, but that could easily be mistaken for the Visser Abaddon, though she would know better. He would however answer her audibly, the hissing whispers emanating form every dark obscured corner in perfect unison. "indeed child we are here, we are always here, such is our duty to the grandness. Such is our station our purpose, we will always be here, at all times. This place demands such a presence, surely you know this, even despite such a long absence….even you know this is home, as do all your brothers…sisters…the children of darkness from all walks should know this…" as the echoing whispers faded a sort of breeze would caress her face, as if a hand were to caress her cheek in an affectionate manner, as a father might brush the hair from his daughters face to better see. Surely the other kinn were unaware, but not Fides. Fides had not laid on this daughter in a great many years, and was pleased to see her here in the umbra, in the Citadel. When she had left this place it was little more then a temple, now it stood a grand castle. Her form looked much the way he remembered her, with all the grace befitting a goddess. And yet were he to show himself now he wondered would she recognize him…surely the energy would be familiar though far greater then it once had been, his manifestation had changed as well, though kinn could appear as the pleased most had a "go to" manifestation…or a more "true" form, when last she observed fides he was high Visser now he was the Evincar…the first, king among Kinn and had the glory of the Cardinal added to his dominion and reign which had increased his power many times over. An aura could be felt leaning over her now as if to look over her. Fides would look upon her tome, an impressive thing, most people again would miss the true majesty of such a thing innocuous looking as it was, this too held great power, she would likely feel as the aura reached over her shoulder placing a palm upon the book, even the faint profanity of such a thing would cause the book to visibly darken a clear indicator it was being touched by him, despite not having taken physical form.
Softly the warmth of his almost embrace touched her and she stopped her doings, stopped drifting into her tome and blocking out the rest. Turning her face up she felt his hand that soft breeze his words whispering to her that he would always be there. “It has been so long, you were still a Visser like me when I last saw or felt you, but now your energy has grown so much, it is almost as if we can fully see you before ourselves. But we all grow as time goes on =, the rest of us, we can't feel them, are, we the only left of us” her words seemed cold and sadene, well as sad as she could get, it was like there was a hole that was inside of her blackness, a empty spot where she wanted to meet them, meet the new young kinns, break in new sinners to the words of their beloved All Father, she enjoyed that most in this immortal life and in the end it was the only thing that made he feel anything, giveing the words of there Father to others and simply being, home. Softly she moved her fingera along her tome and shut thre pages as she would smile inside her aura flickering as her wings matched it showing her happiness, her change in emotion, the change in feeling nothing to now feeling happiness and being touched, seeming to be almost, loved. “Why don't you show yourself to us? Instead of being a whisper in the wind. Wall we were on earth there was storys on how you have become the Evincar. So do i get to see the visser that has become the grand Evincar. Do we not get to see such a splendor” she said it in a mocking tone, a toying tone to get him to come out of his little party trick of hiding in a wall. She let out a coy chuckle as she ran her finger along the spine of the book enjoying the treasured words dotted into the spine, words Caliga put on it himself, she never said what they were as they were for her alone, well unless someone asked, but no one ever did pay that much attention.
Fortunato and his partner Shade are a dangerous pair and each in sync with one another. Shade is a shadow demon meaning they are capable of shadow manipulation. This allows them to draw strength every time a shadow is nearby and use shadow heal to regenerate health and survive life threatening injuries by moving to the nearest shadow. They are capable of shadow walking and moving from one place to another by stepping from one shadow into another. Whenever there is a light source and a shadow is cast they can create constructs from it and launch projectiles at opponents. They are not yet visible within the castle having used a shadow cast to slide under the door at first Fortunato suggested hiding but Shade has prior knowledge of the Kinn and knows that would be a bad idea and speaks to the young inventor. “Do you know nothing about Kinn that would not work they are like me they are born of darkness so you are suggesting we use shadows to hide from a shadow.” Fortuanto simply sighs and mutters of course and heads for the throne room to offer his dwarven goods to the Kinn. “Would ye be interested in some dwarven goods?” The mad jester has a clockwork prosthetic in place of a right arm and appears to be in ragged jester clothes and wearing some sort of gasmask. He would appear unusual to the Kinn as they are two distinct Auras. One is a shadow demon named shade who is his other half and the other is a human named Fortunato. They appear to be in some sort of symbiotic relationship as Fortunato lets her feed off the darkness in his life and he gains incredible strength and power. Shade is 3’000 years old which is not that old for a demon and has been his best friend since childhood. The pair seem to get along well except for the binding seal on the demon which caused a bit of resentment. It was a measure to keep her from ever fully possessing him making him one of the few humans to successfully trick a demon. “How may we help you?” Both voices speak in unison.
As abbadon had asked to see the new grandure she could feel the darkness pooling in on itself folding over and over growing darker and darker, eventually manifesting as what would resemble a drop of ink mixing with water the shadowy tendrils extending outweard and flowing with an awe inspiring grace, forming and more and more definitive features as tie seconds crawled by, surely he could have formed faster, but as she had known he was a bit of a show man, and even more vain now that his title had been granted and he was elevated to such a position.Fides struck the most imposing figure of all the kinn. The shadowy specter of death and darkness, truly a creature from the darkest nightmares of the most devout individuals. The most visually striking features if had would be that of a massive right pauldron, fashioned as a self loathing angel, embracing itself in lament, with a plethora of feathers, which formed a cape concealing the Evincars right arm. The feathers were a dark cardinal red, and unimaginably sharp envoking even the envy of the most vorpal of weapons. The left shoulder was covered by a nother large pauldron, this one so large in fact that it was even oversized for the likes of the Evincar. The pauldron itself had an imperial purple lip around it to hold in the plate which had the inlay of the lament configuration puzzle box, each of its six faces unfolded in such a way the cube made an inverted cross. From the front, back, and center of this pauldron hung Peterian cross's, these chains jingling softly as the became tangible. This plate rested on another which went as far as about one would expect a pectoral muscle to have been. The end of this plate also pierced three times, these piercings were in the form of rosary chains, adorned with onyx beads, each bead containing the now damned soul of seraph conquered by the Evincar itself. These piercings digging in into the outermost reaches of the lamenting angel pauldron’s left wing, as if to tether the abomination to it. there was a massive belled sleeve though this sleeve was in reality an incredibly long rosary itself, forming a large belled sleeve which would softly clack as it billowed in the same unseen breeze which the figure seemed constantly subjected too, though it would affect nothing aside from the manifestation. He gently held in his left hand a small length of the chain, the end of which is adorned with a breathtaking Peterian cross. This cross would appear different to all whom beheld it as it was an image conjured from the eye of the beholder, truly magnificent, perfect to the last detail, all thanks to the imaginations of every individual who would come to see such a thing. It had been enchanted in such a way that it would assume the most perfect form the beholder could conjure, It gently swayed back and forth in what most would call a blatantly hypnotic way; its befuddling beauty begging for attention. One of the most attention grabbing features this beast possessed was that of a ribcage, this was somehow definitively darker then the unimaginable darkness that formed the Evincar. The ribs themselves only truly apparent in the font, along the sternum and a fair bit of the ribs themselves. The ribs were so dark that they glistened, the light not allowed to profane their darkness at all, it was a curious thing to behold in such a dark manifestation, it gave the ribcage a sort of ominous glow to it, occasionally revealing what might have been thought to be souls flowing through it stretched out in some random impossible contortion of pain. The belt which it wore had a “V” sort of shape to it and hung seductively off the hips, the left side of the belt home to three chains which hung loosely forming three tiers which disappeared around behind the “skirt” which Fides had, each adorned with yet another Petrian cross. The eyes were much as they were before Fides' six glowing violet eyes are placed across his umbral features in two symmetrical rows; lined with purest silver that glitters like mythril in the moonlight. The rest of the Evincars face was absent any discernable features. From his brow spans an impressive tangle of horns, purveying a sort of bestial show of majesty, the horns adorned with various baubles of vanity .Most notable would be the numerous Peterian crosses which were generously draped throughout. The halos which were occasionally hung would also attract a fair deal of attention, as they were uncommonly “animated”. The evil presence of the Evincar so profound these holy artifacts writhed in excruciating pain at being so close to such a profane being. There were also rams horns, their curve complementing the jaw line of this beast nearly perfectly, the horns coming to sharp points before the center eyes. Above this crown of horns hung a rather blasphemous crown of thorns, black and glistening as if somehow alive and moist, gently spinning, always to the left. A point of pride for this creature was its ridiculously (C)
