Chasing Shadows

[Rensai]

"Heh. Nice to meet you Reilly. I have never met a Demurj before, so you will have to forgive me for underestemating you. My name is Keelin. I am a Rejur, or Commander in common. Yea, I really wish I was full elf, hehe. That would certainly help me reach my full potential. So, you are not sad at all about leaving Syiena so easily? Hah, that little one, she has pissed us off countless times before. I am suprised our syrum worked.

Meanwhile, Keil decided to pull out the bug. He squeezed it, but not enough to crush it. When he squeezed it, it picked up his mental thoughts, sending it to it's mate, which is Syiena's bug. In turn of a reaction to this thought the other bug submitted it to the closest one, Syiena into her head Syiena, are you and Reilly alright? Sqeeze the bug when you have your answer, but don't kill it. the messege read in her mind.

[Silent Shadow]

Syiena sniffled a bit at hearing Keil and squeezed the bug "Reilly has become a Tover." she stated in Keil's mind. "Sh... she proved to them not to kill her, cause she said she's a Demurj and now I'm bored and alone." she then told him. Making sure not to kill the bug.

Meanwhile.

"Well we Demurj are very seculusive, I don't think a full blooded Demurj has been seen in over two millenia." she told him. She then shrugged "At least not telling someone what they are in over two millenia." she then corrected herself. "As far as Syiena goes your syrum did not work at all. In fact it did nothing to her. Remember she's shadow and half dead corpse. Besides Syiena can take care of herself. But coming here with her seemed the only way I could get in to talk to someone about being a Tover." she told him. Walking fully into her room she looked around again. "Well we'll train tomorrow." she then told him.

[Rensai]

Keil was shocked hearing this. SYIENA, WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT? he thought loudly, squeezing the bug. Keil could not help but turn around to the rest of the group. He clenched his teeth, and both his hands turned into balled up fists. His eyes turned red, the demon spawn had gave him a very short fuse, and a high need to kill. "I AM GOING TO KILL REILLY. She betrayed us! Why!? Rrrrrggggg.... Bitch! She is a freaking TOVER!", he yelled out. His eyes were red, and right now he had no control over his emotion. "We are going to get there by tommorrow morning if I have to carry you all on my back!" Syiena, we are going to be there by tommorrow, alright? he said to both the group and Syiena. Now, Keil's eyes were completely red. He didn't care what the group thought about this.

[Silent Shadow]

Syiena couldn't help but to cry that crying sound filling Keil's mind. "She was going to be excuted and for all I know she might have become one." Syiena couldn't stop crying. "I wouldn't want to die either!" she then said with a pout.

[Rensai]

Syiena... Forgive me for being morbid, but I would rather have my skin peeled off my body with rust steel tips that were put in a fire at 500 degrees. I would rather have my eyes pulled out of my head in the slowest mannor possible... My point is, Syiena... I would rather face the most horrible of deaths, than rejoin them., he squeezed the bug. He was just trying to get his point across to Syiena.

Meanwhile, the young tover nodded and headed off in the oposite direction of Reilly.

[Silent Shadow]

Syiena gasped "But I don't want her to die. I don't want anyone to die." she said timidly in his head while squeezing the bug lightly.

Reilly watched the young tover to go. Closing her door she sat on her bed and started thinking. She had given birth to two sons. One a son born of her and a silver elf. His name was Ronnin. And he was a handsome young boy when he died. Reilly had never gotten married to her son's father cause he was very much the player. But friends they stayed. A human had killed Ronnin when he was only 15. After that she and Ronnin's father became distant another reason why she left the forest. That and her fathers death had happened around the same time. Afterward she had meet a rather nasty demon. But he wouldn't give up chasing her until he got in bed one night. That resulted in her second son Kelick. Kelick lived with his father however. And she hadn't seen him in years. Looking at her hands she sighed. She felt bad that she had caved in wanting to live. But if she stayed alive she might still be able to help the others, especially Syiena whom was still in the cell.

Still laying on her bed she decided to try something that was usually fatal to most of her kind. Mind speak. Closing her eyes she concentrated on Syiena, but her body started aching but still she didn't relent. "Syi.. Syiena?" she spoke tentively in her mind. Her body now aching she new the slightest movement or touch would break it.
However it worked and Syiena spoke back in her mind "Yes?" she asked Reilly.
"Siyena you still have the bug tell Keil why I became a "Tover" for the time being that I told a particular tover that I killed Zer, and .. and tell him I'm sorry." it was all she could say, and then passed out on the bed, breathing heavily.

Syiena squeezed the bug and showed Keil the entire conversation in his mind and then at the end told him that Reilly was sorry. "She means it Keil her voice was strained after that I didn't hear her anymore." Syiena told him with dispair in her voice in his mind.

[Rensai]

Keil gave into his rage. He didn't care. Well, perhaps he would have cared if not being slowly taken over by a demon spawn. He had the bug between his fingers, and was about to respons when sphchech.... He accidentaly squashed the bug. He sighed. You all, keep walking... I will meet back up with you later. Much later.", he said. Running off purposly so no one would be able to follow.

Once he got far enough, and made sure no one was following him he ran into the forest. From there he found the trap door once again, and preceeded down it. He then transformed into his father, and began to ran down the tunnel. When he reached the end, the portal he slowly walked through, passing the drunks. He would find Reilly himself, but no, he would not attack the Tovers just yet. He would let the plan follow through.

[Silent Shadow]

Mor'Rauko nodded at Keil and waited for the rest of the group to follow.

An hour pasted when Reilly woke up and but to her it felt like an eternity. Stretching her arms up and over her head she felt pain all over and quickly layed back down just staring at the ceiling. Another memory past her thoughts one of her son Kelick. His father had decided that Kelick was to become a proper demon rarely being able to see her anymore. He said it would be for the best if Kelick was raised by other demons and eventually entering the ranks of the Damon Tovers. For years she had searched for them and they proved just as elusive as the Demurj. What luck to find an ex-tover in some random group she had decided to join. For her becoming a Tover might mean she'd find her son. She only hoped he hadn't changed to much. She had been able to raise him some in his childhood years. Kelick turned out so sweet and kind. That only enraged his father whom snatched him away from her. Sighing she tired her best to get up off the bed. It took four times, her body aching and feeling like she was about to die, but she managed to stand up. Now that she was up she had no idea what to do.

[Rensai]

"Zer" slowly opens her door. For a minute he just stared at her. He sighed. then he threw the young Tover down on the floor from before, then he closed the door. "Zer" suddenly turned into Keil, and the young Tover's eyes went wide. At first the Tover thought Reilly was just lieing about kill Zer, because he is right there. But turning into Keil? That was really a shock.

Keil pulled a long dagger out, and threw it in the young Tover's hand percing it, binding him to the floor for now. "Make any sudden moves, scream out, I will kill you.", he said. Keil's eyes were very red now. So demonicly red...

"Reilly...", he started. "How could you?"

[Silent Shadow]

Reilly turned around but just barely her body ached so much. "You wouldn't understand. I highly doubt you would even care." she told him still standing in one spot. Taking a deep breath she then spoke again "Kill me if you wish I can barely move anyway. I sometimes think I'd rather die than to know the truth anyway.", then she whispered "what did you become? Or did you manage to stay the same before you had to go?" Closing her eyes as tears now started to flow.
