Griffin went over everyone as if going over attendance at school. She was address last, which was probably because she was the youngest here. Well that's what she though anyway. Everyone looked to be in their twentys or older, while she is only seventeen. Sudenly Misery spoke, with a bored tone. "At least I pick a young human and not some idiot like Greedy over there." Misery tilted her head to look at the guy she had snapped at earlier. He looked nice, but there was something about him that made her blood boil. She responds in her mind,"I'm just glad I didn't get greed." She looks away from Nathan and looks to the new girl.

Amber's eyes were in slits as she looked ar Natalya who had come in and sat next to Olivia. Natalya had short hair, glasses, and a glove that covered one hand. Maybe she left the other glove at home and decided to show up with one on. Maybe she liked only wearing one. But what ever the cause was, Amber just left it at that. Her eyes traveled from the girl towards the table filled with food. She may as well Her something other than a muffin.

Her jacket hood still covered her face as she hopped down form the window set. She walked towards the table, and went farthest from everyone. She pulled out a chair and sat down, pulling the chair closer to the table. Amber looked forward to see ham, turkey, and other fine meats that she had never seen before. Back at her apartment the only thing she would eat was ramon and rarely any meat or sweets. She grabbed a plate and started dumping meat on it, as she taped her fingers on the table. When she was finished, she started to eat her food rather fast as if someone was about steel it from her. Her hood fell of her head, revealing her face as she ate.

The entire fortress shook, dust plumping the air. The Unspoken Ones had just destroyed the tall iron gate surrounding the fortress, and in turn removed some of the booby traps Griffin had set along its perimeter. The first attack was happening. He looked to the others. Would they fight for a place they didn't consider their own? Would the believe him now? He didn't know. But he was about to find out.

@KatherinWinter@Bishop@canaryrose@Emuxe

The fortress shook making dust fall from the ceiling. Misery suddenly roared in Amber's head making the girl stop her eating. She clutched her head and turned her sharp blue eyes twards Griffin who seemed startled as well. "What in hell's name was that?!" Amber stood up with her meal now forgotten as she walked over to Griffin and crossed her arms over her chest as she eyed Griffin. The fortress shook again making a growl deep in her throat as she eyed everyone at the table. "Well are you just going to stand there eating you fancy sandwiches or are you going to ask for some answers?!" She yelled, then turned her eyes to stare at Griffin as if challenging as she asks , "So what the Hell is going on, Griffin?" She hissed.

@Bishop@Emuxe@SoulEater@canaryrose

"That would be the Unspoken. Apparently they are one of the many beings that call the Lords enemies. If you could see outside you would see creatures like none you've ever seen before. They are a strange combination of human and animal. They are stronger and faster than humans. They tend to have the characteristics of the animal they are blended with." Griffin explained. Outside was a 7 foot tall creature. It looked like a mix between a woman and a bird. She had a beak, wings, and claws like a bird. She was running at the gate that surrounded the castle.

Bence was at an underground cock fight watching the men around him act like savages. It took the man awhile to find this place but it was the easiest way to please the demon inside him. The yelling and debating in different languages hurt his head, but the demon of violence grinned devilishly. Feathers rained down in waves as the birds were forced into wire bared rings. Clucks joined the chaos around Bence before he could turn to leave. The man would much rather be at home cleaning up for his mom, but that life was gone now.

”If you are wanting your old life, we could always go home Little Ben” The demon whispered in Bence’s head. Shaking his head, the host tried getting the voice to stop. He knew it wouldn’t stop. It hadn’t for the past month and it was driving Bence insane, literally. Too long without causing some kind of violence and the boy would lose himself.

“Fine…” Bence said aloud while slamming his fists into the pockets of his jacket. He walked up to a buff guy, who had been spouting random spanish insults the whole time of Bence’s time at the fight. “El piensa que eres tu madre se parece a un burro”. In english it essentially means that the Portuguese guy watching the roasters tear each other apart was calling the Spanish man’s mother a donkey.

As the man stormed over and a riot quickly erupted into an all out brawl Bence’s phone buzzed indicating a new email. It wasn’t odd, his mother would email him or sent him money. Something was definitely different about this email. Bence didn’t waste anytime opening and reading through it. The demon inside him was laughing as it read the words of a meeting place for the other demons and urged the man to get going.

It took hours to get to the location listed in the email. No one would find anything all the way out here. It was almost isolated to the point that Bence wondered if he was going to be murdered out here. As he rounded the final corner the man’s thoughts were answered. He would have called the creatures demons if he wasn’t already possessed by one. A huge bird lady along with other animal humanoids lined the gate. Throwing his hood up over his head, Bence tried to get around the creatures. He was thinking about maybe a window on the side of the house. Out of everything there he might have some luck. His wish wasn't granted however, as one of the creatures saw him and started towards him running on all fours like a dog and the size of a tiger. With wide eyes Bence took off running. He had no other choice but the front. If he could somehow get through the gate he might be home free, but only if he could make it.

"Run! Human! Lets have some fun!" The demon shouted playfully in his head, however, it was Bence's thoughts to which his body listened. His legs were moving.

His lungs soon burning with each new intake of air. With darting eyes the man didn't slow down, even with the bird lady getting closer and closer. He needed a way past the gate, but where? The owner wasn't going to just open up for him and these things out here with him. Under was better than over, was the final decision when Bence's eyes found his salvation. A small curve of ground hidden by a bush like a secret exit for a child, was hidden not too far away. With one no so graceful dive Bence moved forward and tore under the gate. Thank whatever godly being that he had his jacket on or he would be walking away with worse than a deep scratch on his right cheek and a missing shoe, which regrettably was on the other side of the gate and Bence was not going back over there. With the bird thing now going back to work on the gate, the man took off towards the door hoping someone would let him in.

Amber was speechless as Griffen explained that the reason the fortress was shaking was because of animal-human things. She rushed towards the window where she had sat earlier to catch a glims of these creatures. And what she saw surprised her.

A man was running towards the door as a bird like creature turned back to the gate."So what if he dies? Leave him be."The demon said with a hiss in its voice. Amber rolled her eyes as she said, "Well I was gonna test out my powers on the creatures anyways, and if he lives then great." The demon smiled and said with a dark laugh, "Let's go give 'em hell then human."

Amber dashed around the corner as she neared the front door with surprising speed. She would normally just trip or slow down easily due to her short legs, but at the moment she was excited to kill something that wasn't human. Whenever she was hurting she would go around and attack with no reason, but now she has a reason to kill.

She ran over to the door while slamming into it. She quickly shook of the slight pain in her ribs as she opened the door and looked sidways at the guy in front of her. He was taking in short shallow breaths, but why wouldn't you when your out with these things. She gave him a bored look as she said as if ordering. "Sence your hear, help me take care of the guest?" She motioned her hand towards the beast begaing to make the gate cave in. She then walks out of the castle and puts her hands on her hips. She noticed a particle beast starting to dig under the fence where a person could easily fit into.

The beast growled and hissed as it started to drag its front half to the other side. It had a body like a tiger with too big legs and a human face that was set in a state of blind rage. She almost feelt bad for the beast untill it got out from under the fence and begin to charge for her. Before she could reacted she saw the bird lady and a being with scales crawl after. "Go get the other one!" She yelled as she charged for the beast with the tiger pelt.

Griffin had no knowledge of when it came to fighting. Not real fighting anyway. Secrets had some knowledge but demons specialty and ability had nothing to do with violence. But fortunately his demand had one thing the others didnt. He knew the weakness of every creature out there. Which he hoped would be helpful. Unfortunately Amber took off before he could tell her anything.

He sighed and set his tablet aside. He didn't want to risk breaking it. Not because it would be hard to replace, it wouldn't be. But because it would take time to replace and it was his only means of easy communication. He grabbed a couple of weapons on his way out of the castle. He have a chance to give them to the others. As far as he knew neither of them had weapons. All they had was the demons which might be enough.

@KatherinWinter@SoulEater
Bence stopped short in front of the door as a young girl swung it opened, gave him a look, and then ran away. He watched her run, stepping into the house while still panting. He didn't do long distance running, most of his strength was upper body. That was also in short supply. Taking in one final breath, the boy turned his attention to the man who had run off briefly, but was now standing before him with weapons. Bence had so many questions for these people. Who were they? What were those creatures? What is this place? So many more that would most likely never get answered, especially if they died here.

"Bence". The man started off pointing to himself. The demon looking through his eyes, eyeing the weapons in the other mans hand. "Ooooo that, no that one. Make it rain blood little Ben" It whispered to him, however Bence continued after a pause to see if the man would tell him his own name.

Deciding to take action with his demon, Bence stuck his hand. "Anyone will do. I'll take the scaly one. Know anyway to kill it?" Bence asked as he was handed a weapon. His demon screaming at him to ask questions later and just make pudding out of the creatures.

@VerusEbullio@KatherinWinter

Amber quickly ran towards her beast as it came dangerously closer. She and her demon smirked as Amber moved out of the way as the beast slashed forwards missing her completely. She swonge her knee towards the creators rib, making a loud cracking noice as it connected to her target. Her power was to make others feel mental pain, but this beast was going to need more then just going insane. Amber moved to back away from the beast as it roared and wrapped its paws around its human head.

Her power would hold the thing off for a little bit, but not much. Usually with people she would just need to drive them into insanity then it be over. But with the beast, it could handle it a bet well then she thought. She gritted her teeth and ran towards Griffin who had a bunch of weapons. The other guy seemed less thence as he held a weapon. He then asked Griffin how to defeat them which was smarter then just leaping in like she had. "Griffin do you have an axe? I'm beginning to think are powers are not gonna work on these things." Amber said.

The creator shook of the pain and looked back to Amber. Amber felt the creators eyes burn holes in the back of her head. She turned around to find the beast hitting her with its paw sending her flying. She felt hot blood on the side of her waist as it begin to leak into her jacket. "Get up you good for nothing human!" Misery spoke so loud she almost forgot the beast was apone her. She quickly got up with a wince and moved out of the way when the beast slashed with both paws where she was originally. Amber clutched her wound and took off her jacket quickly wrapping it around the wound. The wound was not too big to stop fighting, but it sure hurt like hell. "Damn kitty don't you have fucking good accuracy!" Amber hissed out.

The thing moved and growled charging again with it's paws thumping on the ground. Amber was ready now. She moved and punched the creator squad in the noise, making black-ink blood spray her knuckle and dripped on the ground. The beast screeched in pain and made to slash her arm but missed out of pure luck for Amber. "Griffin, I could really use that axe right about now!" She yelled as she dodged yet another attack form the beast. Her last attack seemed to do no but make him wobbly and more angry.

@VerusEbullio @SoulEater
Griffin was surprised when someone came running into the castle. Was this the man that had been at the gate? He hadn't dated to open it. The gates were the only thing keeping them safe. Whole they might be immortal that didn't mean they couldn't suffer. This was his safe haven and he would let it be damaged in anywsy. Already he had taken steps. The wall was 5 feet thick and made of the strongest material he could find. He wax liking into magical protections. Thanks to Secretdo he which were real and which werent.

Without his tablet Griffin had no way of answering the other man's question. Which was frustrating as hell. The Unspoken Ones were hard to kill. The things were like zombies. They kept coming no matter what you did to them they kept coming. Unless you put a bulletin their brains or set them on fire. Unable to explain this to the new arrival he simply shoved the flame thrower at him.

Then he shoved the other man out the door. From the sounds of it Amber was regretting her decision to go out unarmed. As the keeper of Misery Griffin couldn't image what the girl thought she could do. Make them too depressed to attack? He doubted that the Unspoken Ones had enough emotions for that to work. He raced towards her with several weapons in hand.

@KatherinWinter@SoulEater
Bence studied the other man for a moment while catching his breath. He didn't get an answer to his question. Did this man not talk, or was he in that big of a rush to get out there? Whatever reason the young came up with quickly vanished before it became true as this odd man shoved a flamethrower into his arms and pushed him out the door. Back out with these creatures and now armed his demon smiled, churning a slowly growing a violent outburst within the boy.

"Let's give 'em hell Little Ben" The demon slithered in the man's ear.

"With pleasure" Bence replied gripping the new weapon in his hands.

It wasn't long before he was out the door himself. Watching a scaled creature. One that was human until you hit it's waist, then it's legs were bent out with talons. It looked half crocodile. Violence was excited to tear this beast apart. It planted a violent seed within Bence and caused a wide smirk to fester along his face. Both being were more than delighted to turn this creature to ash.

Bence took off running at the creature. In turn the creature started after him. In a deadly game of chicken the two got closer to one another until the Bence hit the brakes and fumbled to turn the flames on. Making it just in time before the creature had him. It screeched and hissed in pain, curling within itself and rolling along the green grass that lay along the yard. Bence let out a deep laugh from deep in his throat. Letting himself fall into violence was actually fun this time. Violence laughed along with you and continued to fuel the man until it flowed out of him.

@VerusEbullio@KatherinWinter

Amber grumbles as she snatches an axe from Griffin. She couldn't use her powers like this, it wasn't working! So this had to do. The axe felt cold and had a rusty end were it would smack down into the creature. She quickly charged at it and wipes the axe around making it skirt on the ground hitting the thing in the paw. It screams wicth is mixed with an animals roar as it begins to circle her with no limp.

"Stupid human. Go for its back legs so it can't pounce." Misery spoke as if bored and a bit pissed. She could almost picture Misery with crossed arms. Amber huffed and brushed a strand of her hair out of her face as she kept her eyes on the thing. "Well I'm sorry!" She hisses in her mind. Misery clicked his tongue and said with a knowing voice, "Now, now girl. Keep you eyes on the creature and mind out of you head."

Amber raised an eyebrow then she turned her attention to the beast still circling her. It's black eyes flicked from her like it was looking for an opportunity to attack. At least the new guy was holding his own, Amber though as she heard the flame thrower turn on. She turned to look his way as he held a grin on his face as his eyes burned with hunger. Wonder what his demon was, Amber though as she looked back to her creature as it had stopped circling and was getting ready to pounce.

Amber gripped her axe hard as she growled. The thing quickly jumps and lands next to her mocking her with a grin that's not human as it knocks her over sending the axe a few feet away. The landing makes Amber groan but she quickly grabs the axe and brings it over her face as the thing tried to bit her head. The black blood on it's face had dried leaving blood streaks leaking down its face making it look like it got into some ink. Suddenly she remembers what her demon said and she kicks hard at the beast back legs sending it tumbling next to her. Amber moves out of the way as it makes to claw her side again. Amber stands and brings her axe down apone the creatures out stretched paw.

@VerusEbullio @SoulEater
Griffin grunted when the others took the weapons. With the flamethrower and the axe gone he was down to a sword. He had never welded a sword before. He was a mechanic not a knight. But he had done more than his fair share of fighting growing up. He would just treat the sword like it was a giant heavy knife. With the girls taking two that left one attacker for him to deal with so he turned his attention to the birdwoman.

She was fast despite moving awkward. He barely blocked her first attack. He hadn't thought she would be able to move as well as she did. She was stronger then he expected too. Fortunately he had done spent most of his life doing manuel labor so he was stronger then most. Plus Secrets wasn't exactly a pushover. He swung the sword determined to do his best to get the upper hand.

One foot in front of the other Aaron walked through the forest path, every step seemed to echo, he could hear them hear his footsteps, thousands of tiny eyes watching inside and out. they crawled in his head too and under his skin. The forest was not a nice place. Aaron heard something growling, hungry, in the woods. He felt his skin crawl as a buzzing voice filled his head "Keep Focused Aaron, watch your step, it wont be long now till we reach them, We reach the others.""Shh be quiet be quiet be quiet. They can hear us. They smell our breath.""The Beasts in the woods are asleep, they cant see us yet But be quiet so you dont wake them up Aaron. It would be bad bad bad if we woke them up." At last Aaron could see the castle, he could feel its walls crawling up the heavens like a vine, the air tasted foul like sulfer..not too unlike how the hive smelled in his dreams. but he heard other noises other voices as well he could hear the violence. And he looked and saw...was it an angel? an archon? "Do I see that?" "Its light fills your eyes, reflected by the cruel sun. It has form. It has been so long, our memory is fuzzy...what was it?"

Aaron had finally arrived at the fortress and stood motionless at the sight of the birdlike creature.

@Lucidnonsense
Griffin wasn't a fighter. His in experience showed. He was able to keep the birdman from hurting him. It was a draw. He wasn't gaining or losing ground. He didn't get a chance to look around. He had no idea how the others were doing. He couldn't afford to try to find out. He could only hope that they were doing alright. Luckily they couldn't be killed. Just hurt really really badly.
@SoulEater

@KatherinWinter@Lucidnonsense@VerusEbullio

A loude screech is heard as the beast she was fighting started to limp with the impact of her axe. Amber jumped back with her axe at the ready and grinned widely. "Come on Kitty, is that all you got!" Amber crooned as the beast circles her again with it's limp worsening. With this she had enough time to steal a glance in Griffin's direction.

He was currently using a bulky sword that seemed awkward in his hands as he continues to dodge the birdwoman. It seemed that he could use a hand, so she would help as soon as she was done with her...wait wear was it? Her creator had slipedy behind her and whent to attack her with it's injured paw.

Before it reached her she swings her axe and lands it on the creatures human like head was with a crack or bone. Amber trys to bring back the axe but The creator is already over powering her. It jumps landing on her with all fours. The impact takes the wind from her making her have tears come to her eyes. Before she can try and get away the thing pins her to the ground with all four paws.

The thing smiles with hunger dancing in it's ink-black eyes as it takes one paw with claws that are black as coal and begins to drag it across her arm. It only annoys her first, but then she hears a tear of flesh and she lets out a scream. She flicks her eyes to her arm to see her blood polling out as the thing carves into her skin. She let out another scream louder this time but the creator doesn't stop. The thing was probably enjoying this, but she sure wasn't! She gritted her teeth and again tired to wiggle out of it's grasp but utterly failed.

For some reason Amber looks to the gate, and spots someon. "Help!.. ." Amber says the words softly but still loud enough for the stranger to hear and anyone else. It was strange to ask for help, but right now Amber didn't really care. "Pitiful human asking for help. I think pain suites you well." Misery says with a purr as he itches to do the hurting to Amber instead of the beast.

Blinded by the flames and fun Bence didn't notice when the crocodile creature rise back to its feet. Burnt flesh still smoking from his body. The poor thing looking like a half melted easter chocolate. It's human half discoloured with twisted skin, some portions skin the gone revealing the dark cords of muscle underneath. Other placed that weren't so lucky, like the fingers, where exposed bone smoked and burned. The beast half of the creature was less damaged. With patches of singed flesh being the worse it got.

"Yay Bence Boy! That's the spirit!" Violence shouted excitedly. Both had thought that they had defeated the creature and were celebrating their victory. The boy lifted the flamethrower skyward and let out a stream of flame that flew straight up, that broke apart like a deadly blooming flower a the top. The part use Bence's body and jump into the air. Upon landing Bence is met by the creature he was fighting. A powerful swipe of a scaled tail sends the small boy tumbling along the ground. As his body spin and smacked the ground Bence started laughing again. Infected by Violence. As he stopped several feet away from the beast his face contoured into a menacing grin. His laugh raised in pitch and became more of a giggle.

"Stay rrrrright there." The boy growls at the beast before he took off running towards the creature. Seeing the flamethrower from the corner of his eye he turned to grab it. As he did the beast began to charge, quickly gaining ground on him, but before the beast could lash out again Bence jumped onto the creature. Before landing at the base of the beasts tail the creature caught Bence exposed foot on the way down slashing a gash form the bottom of his foot and half way up the side of his calf. The boy roared in pain while fighting the urge was to pull the flamethrower on and burn the thing even more, however it was Violence who stopped the boy knowing that it would kill them both.

The beast didn't let Bence stay long, it waved and swung wildly to get the boy off, and quickly rid itself of its rider. Bence hit the ground hard on his back, but pulled the trigger letting flames loose once again. This time the boy wasn't looking, he moved side to side hoping the hear the thing, and once he did Bence rolled onto his stomach and kept going until the creature finally collapsed.

Aaron felt a jolt down his spine, the world around him had erupted into violence, reality and fantasy seemed to blend as one. he covered his eyes hoping the visions before him would go away as he prepared to run, he didnt want to have to deal with this right now. Suddenly a thousand buzzing voices echoes throughout his mindscape "STAY!, Do not let the outside control us! control the outside.

Aaron spoke to nobody in particular "Stop it! wake up! wake up! this isnt real"

Meanwhile his demon began to attempt to gain a foothold in the beasts minds, figure out how they tick.
