Bits And Pieces

    "Show yourself, and I may yet, let you live!" Mia called out into the trees, "We know you're there!"
     "I can smell you, asshole!" Nyx growled, adding his two cents. "Come down now, and save your skin!"
    Nothing but the wind in the trees and the birds in the bushes, and a few growls from beyond the wall. As creepy as it had all become, and so quickly, Navina felt, at ease. Things were familiar in this place. With her senses heightened, everything seemed so....
    "If I have to come up there after you..." She heard the Demon say, and she shook her head.
    "Scaring it won't help!" She sighed, and took to one of the stone benches, running her hand along the chiseled edges.
    "Do you want to try?"
    "I don't think we have to try!" Mia growled, as a figure stepped out of the treeline.
    It was big, and tall, and dressed all in black. It moved back and forth like the leaves on the wind. A sword was unsheathed, the blade glimmering in the sunlight, and the figure darted forward. It dodged Euphamia and dove beneath the Demon as his foot came up to kick it, and in a heartbeat, the figure was before Navina, the blade pointed at her chest.
    "I'd advise against that!" Mia called out, with a blade of her own at the back of the figure's neck, but the sword did not move.
    "Nice and easy now..." Nyx chuckled, "Nice, and..." But the Demon wouldn't get a chance to take the bastard down, as the sword was tossed into the air, and all eyes followed it, as the figure spun about, grabbing Navina by the arm and pulling her in to his chest; before catching the sword as it fell back towards him.
    "Nice!, Not, what I was expecting, but nice!" Mia glared at him, and then at Nyx, who disappeared.
    "He will bring others!" Navina tried to warn her captor. "It is best if you let me go."
    "You have trespassed on my Lady's lands..." His voice rang out, so eerie and so calm. "Let him bring the others, and they too, will feel the touch of stone."
    Mia was eyeing the figure, who was clearly male by the sound of his voice. The way he stood, the blade he held in his hand against Navina's throat; but there was something, odd, about him. He was too, real, to be a Ghost.
    "Please? We're only here looking for someone!" Navina pleaded with the male, feeling his warm  breath upon her neck. "Please? Help us find him..."
     "You have seen the statues, you have looked upon their faces, did you not find the one you seek?" The male growled, his grip growing tighter.
    "No, no we didn't!" She hung her head, only to bite at his thumb as it gripped his sword, and watched the blade fall to the ground as she stomped on his foot and threw her head back.
    She heard the crack as her skull connected with his jaw, and felt the searing pain as it shot through her, blinding her for but a moment. That moment, was all that was needed, as Mia reached forward and pulled her away, and the daggers protruding from his chest, ran green.
    "Shit!" Nyx growled, withdrawing his blades, and taking form behind the 'thing' as it fell.
    "What was that?"
    "We call them minions, though their creators have a different term for them!" Mia sighed, holding Navina upright as she tried to steady herself.
    "I see!" She sighed, and then shuddered, feeling yet another presence. "We're still not alone!" She muttered, feeling the eyes upon her.
     "No doubt, there are others!" Nyx groaned, wiping the thick green ooze from his blade. "And their Creator, too!"
     "Who created them?" Navina inquired, between deep breaths.
     "Who knows?" Mia grumbled, "Anyone with the knowledge, shit, Kember's Mother has sent hundreds after her..." She paused a moment, looking at Navina with a puzzled expression.
     "No, she didn't!" Navina turned to her. "That was Pathen!"
    "Right! Because I've taken out about forty of them myself, and Kalin wasn't, the one leading them?" Nyx laughed, "Tell me another one!"
    "I'm only telling you, what I saw!"
    "So one of us, saw, wrong!" Mia rolled her eyes and turned away. "You know? I'm getting real tired of this bullshit! Every fucking time I turn around, some dumb shit has started another battle and my blades just can't resist! Every, fucking, time! You think after three hundred years, the idiots would learn a thing or two..."
    "You feel better?"
    "No!" She spat back at him. "Why is it, that every time we get a chance to b, just the two of us, we get snt on a mission to unlock her visions?" Mia carried on, practically snarling at Navina. "Why can't you just figure your shit out?"
   Okay, wow! What the fuck was up with Mia? Who the hell had pissed in her go-juice?
    "Now?" Nyc chuckled, "You feel better, now?"
   "Will you shut the fuck up? Seriously, Fuck!" Mia snapped at him, and took a few steps towards Navina. "Why don't you just give us the answers, Navina? Tell us all the truth, instead of sending us out, day after day, hoping, that  you'll fucking remember shit! Or was that the plan, all along?" Mia eyed her up and down. "You, and your sister... You're both working for the enemy, aren't you? And this is just some scheme to keep us all busy..."
    "Wow!" The Demon rolled his eyes and had to turn away.
    "What the fuck?" Navina replied, "What, the actual fuck, Mia?"
   "Don't play stupid, Vina! It's getting old, so I suggest you give up the act!"
    "What act? And what level of crazy, did you just step into? What the hell are you talking about?"
    "I can't believe I let you fool us all..." Mia shook her head, and came even closer. "You've ruined everything!" She swing at Navina, and the impact sent Navina to the ground.
    "Holy fucking shit, female!" Nyx let out, "What the fuck?"
     "Don't holy shit, me! My name is Mia, not Madrina, and I won't put up with your bullshit!"
    "Now, wait just a second!" He growled back at his mate, "That was completely, uncalled for. I'd say Zahara, before Madrina. Gods, Mia! What the hell, Home Slice?"
    "She, is what the hell!" Mia threw her arm up and pointed at Navina as she rose from the ground. "Her visions, her so called Kor'Mhia blood... It's gotten us nowhere, but deeper into shit!" Mia was growling at Navina, and for a moment, she swore she saw something, deep within her eyes, but then it was gone. "And now we're here, getting attacked by minions... because you saw it in some vision?" Mia was shouting, screaming at the top of her lungs. "Kor'Mhia or not, you will never play me for the fool again!" She finished, and lunged at Navina, dodging her mate as he tried to stop her.
    Navina had no choice but to run, no choice, but to hide; as Nyx tried to hold Mia back. The female had flipped her shit, and she couldn't get up and over that crumbled wall fast enough.
