Lunar didn't like the choices that were right in front of her. Leave with Jay and risk further injury or help Jay and risk him being killed? It troubled her, she sat silently on a stool by the bar. An elf bartender slid her a drink, it sparkled a bright pink, literally. She eyed the drink with confusion, she had never seen a substance like this before. A potion? Maybe a herbal brew? The elf laughed to himself, "Pixie Honeydew. Harvested from the magical trees in their homeland. It's good, try it for yourself." He reassured her. Lunar grabbed the drink and braced for the effect, swallowing the small glass. (So like a shot glass.) It was cold, having a sweet nectar taste to it, she felt replenished.
Bazix stood in the empty space next to Lunar, "So, you going to get Almun for help?" She remained silent, Jay was still outside. It was more rowdy in the manor, they could smell him right outside.
Jay sat on the ground outside, it was almost sunset, the sky was an autumn pink and orange color. A very familiar cold, haunting presence crepted towards him. It had become a pattern, a pattern he had soon figured out. She had been watching them this whole time. The cold feeling at the job board, she was there. The murder victim's house, she was there. "Death, Death her name...She is what she brings, she is what she says she is. She is Death itself... A Dark Magician? No. There is no magic powerful enough to allow someone to take life in an instant, not without a ritual circle."
The cold feeling grew, a faint shadow appeared, she laughed. She stopped,
"I am much more than that...I am the one who will take the life from you. Your memories become my friend, to you, your worst enemy. I can't wait for that time to come, we will have so much fun..." She said taking her more human form. Jay opened his mouth to call for someone until she removed a portion of his breath from his body, stopping in between from completely taking it away. He had no breath to call out with, no sound, no words.
"Shhhhh. No need to complicate things. You alone are a pain in the ass, now your weak, easy for the picking." Death spoke out with pity, she wanted to prove herself.
"Look, you stay out of the way...and you live for the time being. Refuse and you'll find yourself an early grave. Do I make myself clear, Jay?" Death knelt down beside him putting his breath back. He refused to answer her. She grunted and grabbed his throat, pulling him forward.
"You will give me what I want. Regardless of your answer, it will happen one way or another. Now here's what I want, I want you to kill Lunar Evershade..." Death said with slight anger. She dealt a swift punch to his ribs, he clenched her hand holding his neck. Jay dragged her forward, headbutting her, giving a soft chuckle. His hand released her and fell onto his side. She disappeared off soon after.
The Whires all stood up, they smelt the blood of a dark force. Lunar got up aswell, she sensed it too. Almun growled at this smell. Lunar looked at him as he glanced over at her and nodded. Almun and Lunar made their way outside, reassuring the others to keep calm. When they slammed open the door, Lunar saw Jay on his side motionless. She rushed to his side and rested Jay's head on her lap. Almun went straight for the ominous scent, he noticed a small black splatter on the ground. Crouching down he put a little on his finger, he rubbed the two fingers together and lightly sniffed the tar like liquid. He coughed and sight went disoriented for a few seconds. It was what he thought, it wasn't good.
"Almun, are you alright? Everything okay?" Lunar called as he was still knelt on the ground.
"Demon blood...It can be used to make the deadliest of plagues and is almost impossible to cure if made into a sickness. This CAN NOT be left here! If in the wrong hands this can kill them, and if used improperly, it can kill 4 kingdoms worth of people, maybe even more." Almun snarled, he looked at Jay laying on Lunar's lap.
"That human, I'm predicting that this is his doing. We need him. Humans are savages, but demons...their the apocalypse. He is useful, as well as a threat. He won't be helpful is he's dead. Get him inside, I have some medical equipment in one of the cabinets. "Bazix, tell Galina to clean out a room for the boy and send one of the drakes out here." Almun spoke as Bazix slithered off, he turned over to Lunar.
"Lunar, I believe we have much to discuss..." He glared with sharp eyes.
Death held her head, it began to bleed a darker red than normal blood, black almost. She looked at her hand seeing the black ish red substance. "How..? How'd he..? Damn boy!" She screamed in rage, the trees around her quickly withered and died.
"That's it! No more games! Damian, were leaving!" Death shouted, a hooded man quietly followed Death to return to their camp.
