A bead of sweat almost formed on the side of Kole's face before it quickly evaporated. En'radial, I am humbled by your assumption. However.. Kole's hand moved faster than the eye and grabbed the nearest demon by the head. With no effort, it's body fell limp. Your army is consisted of weak pawns. We all remember the outcome of the Burning Invasion. I can change that. Releasing the corpse, Kole placed his hand on another demon nearby. Release Ultima Protecto The demon began to heat up and fell to the ground growling. It's bones began to snap and it slowly rose to it's feet with confidence. A new aura of power and malice emitted from the heat. This is but a taste.

((sorry slow reply, been doing assignments ))
Kole went to to express hsi worth, with mere clutches he could cause a lesser demon to die at the palm of his hands. He then went on to speak about the weak pawns of her army, somewhat insulting she thought, but she let him speak on. He mentioned the burning invasion, and all that was but a fail on the Angels' luck, they had an army of mortals... now they do too. Then, another demon fell to the plight of Kole's fiery wrath... before standing once more.
Mor'laz scowled from his place, under his breath he muttered "Sorcery..." in an almost disgusted tone. This was not necromancy, but it was definitely made to look like it... he thought so anyway. Maybe his power over flames were so unique that he may control the fire burning and raging in the veins of the dead? Mor'laz hissed at any kind of body taming other than his own arts.
En'radial seductively moaned in pleasure though as she took interest in what he could do ebfore chuckling. Leaning down slightly as her spidery legs rearranged, she said "I'd love to see you try and kill one of my Queenlords" almost sarcastically. "You've only seen what lesser portals can bring. Wait until the real things steps through. These are but my cannon-fodder" she laughed again under her breath as though just speaking of it all made her insides twist in pleasure and ecstasy. "I understand" she said "You don't want to be wasted... I'll make sure that you are not killed under my presence - but the same can't be said for the rest of my demons. Now go make yourself useful - you're wasting time" she then tragically changed subject and turned her back to Kole, throwing her arms back in a fit of power as a red glow from her chest exploded. Mor'laz covered his eyes for a moment ebfore the light dulled down, and then En'radial thrust her hands in front of her, the red glow creating a beam of energy that fed into Hell's Gate.
"So... that's the Crimson Jewel" Mor'laz muttered, having a glimpse of the crystal's beauty in her hands as it passed its energy over to the gate. But as he looked at the gate, it barely saw it change at all, even the power of a Jewel was not enough to open it alone, at beast she would have it open in a few days...
Kole was relieved. Now that he could confidently work behind the scenes, it would be easier to move around in this chess board. Although Mor'laz's confusion was more than apparent, Kole would wait before displaying that he was more than a fool. Playing it dumb for now with him would keep things a bit less complicated. The last thing anyone needed to know was the true origin of his and his brother's abilities. Tch. He turned back and made his way into the shadow were Mor'laz waited. At least she didn't kill me. En'radial held out a jewel and a powerful aura was released into the Hell Gate but to no avail. This apparently did not discourage the Greater Demon, so it must be it's only and most probable way to open it. Either way, things would not progress with the two of them simply standing there. Now that she considers me a useless insect, It should increase the amount in which she underestimates my influence. A bishop has become a pawn in disguise.

Kole came over and was grateful to have his life, Mor'laz but only rolled his eyes and began walking with him. As they went along, Kole went on to describe how he was but a bishop in disguise now, a seemingly powerless insect holding a handful more power than even En'radial could realise. "I still don't understand what this charade is going to grant you." Mor'laz began, his voice monotone and disinterested, " she only said she wouldn't kill you. Nothing's stopping anyone else from tearing the bones from your body." Mor'laz honestly couldn't see what Kole was trying to do, to him, Kole seemed like a meaningless pawn, just as he was trying to disguise himself as. Sure enough, he held some ability to amaze him, but he was still nothing that truly made Mor'laz worried or curious.
The disinterest and lack of impression was apparent in Mor'laz as he spoke. Questioning his motives, Kole knew his deception was effective even on his tenuous ally. That may be the case, Kole began half realizing this truth himself, if I had not raised En'radial's brow. Further provocation may lead to my untimely demise, so I will tread softly from now on. His thoughts raced a few scenarios to where his impression on the Greater Demon would take the time to have him killed, a mere Scarred. All were very unlikely. A few more brash words to the Greater Demon may have also ended his mission even sooner than the war itself. Kole cleared his throat, Mor'laz, your wisdom may have saved my life. The words left a sour taste in his mouth. I watched your expression as I spoke and it gave me the insight to proceed with caution. His keen vigilance to his surroundings was ever present. So when a single displaced stone tumbled down the hill several kilometers away, his ear twitched. We are not alone.. A tone of irritation to the interrupted. Kole searched Mor'laz for his eyes in silence, then darted his eyes in the direction of the noise.

It was almost as if the fool was trying to compliment him, Mor'laz didn't make eye contact and only replied with "It's almost a shame" as he stepped over a particularly rough and jagged piece of scorhed earth beneath his feet, he missed the flats of Necro-valley, the damp air, the barren emptiness, this place was far too warm. "Caution is something I would have thought a man like you would have..." he replied then to the next comment, "any-" Mor'laz began, but was cut short when Kole suddenly became aware of a noise. Rolling his eyes again the Necromancer stopped in his tracks, saw the eye-contact and looked towards the small stone, "And what do you expect is going to jump out? A Paladin? An Elite maybe? Oh wait, let me guess, maybe even a Demon Hunter? I'd love to see that" Mor'laz replied with even the smallest oof intrigue as he went about moving forwards again. He didn't expect anything worth worrying about to get them, and if Kole was worried about someone over hearing something - there wasn't much on Mor'laz's part to have been overheard.
Talking over his shoulder he said "Now are you coming to Necro-valley or are you going to leave me in peace?" nonchalantly.
((Do you have something planned? If so, im intrigued. ))
Having been observing the whole proceedings in a passive way, much like his teacher taught him, Sar'Kona had seen a lot and disliked even more. There was left little choice but to play along in the schemes of the upper and Greater Demons. A Necromancer did not play to others tune strings, they were the puppeter, didn't mean they had to be stupid about it.
So finding his teaching from the crowd having seen the newcomers rather interesting display Kona was curious about what he was thinking and planning. Walking in their direction his keen Scarred ears picking up snippets of their conversation. Eventually making himself known with a misstep on the rocks and seemingly leaping out of no where to land in a crouch at their backs.
"Not planning to leave me behind teacher?" he droned smoothly and evening; almost a bored tone neither worried of being left behind or seemingly keen to follow. It was neutral...perfectly neutral but his pale silvery purple shinned service of Kona's eyes peered at Kole; no pupil but a shimmering iris of pale silvery purple that seemed to almost glow in the darkened light of Bloodholme. There was a slight head silt as Sar'Kona stared at the stranger as if he was a cat admiring something interesting but debating if he wanted to play with it or eat it.
"Better to proceed with caution then rush in and finding you're biting off more then you can chew; as the saying goes..." droned Kona with a smirk, the smirk seeming to carry a knowledge that he seemed to tease Kole with. "Necro-Valley then teacher? It was getting boring here anyway...nothing to play with..." _______________________________________

≡ Along the stretch of void, a cluster of shadows moved rapidly towards the one fiery spire that marked the gate to Hell. Since the rest of the void was empty with the exception of darkness, this meant that the unnaturally moving shadows seemed to blend in almost perfectly. The shadows swirled around each other, moving within hazy shapes of black smoke. The essence of a female Scarred seemed to be embedded within these particular shadows. Every now and then, sparks of ember would flicker from them. Once the moving shadows reached the area where many of the other demons and scarred were, they fell completely still. She had already figured within her mind that perhaps the others could detect her presence just from the shadows themselves, so this was where she tried masking that by blending in completely. In this form, Kavita was physically incapacitated, all except for the two senses of hearing and sight. Using these senses, she paid close attention to the situation at hand by listening in on their conversations.
This was simply her way of registering surroundings, something that she did whenever she reached a new place. Kavita saw it as important to take account of the intentions of others, whether those be good intentions or bad ones. Those with corrupted intentions, were the ones she felt needed to be eliminated. Kavita was aware that there were multiple sides to every situation, but as for the sake of the hunt, she narrowed it down to two; purity and evil. The evil was what needed to be exterminated. However, Kavita had no intentions to engage into battle for now. Those types of things that she would have been careful to strategically plan in advance.
There was something that felt strange about this place to her, something welcoming, a feeling of comfort that she sensed from the flames and from the darkness. Though Kavita knew not to get too used to her surroundings to let her guard down, she did make the decision to make her presence known. The shadows began to swirl together and blended with sparks of ember. Flames eventually rose from that same spot, morphing into the elegant form of a female with long crimson hair that fell past her shoulders.
Kavita stared forwards at those in front of her. Her bright amber eyes, the same color of the fire from which she had appeared from, showed very little signs of emotion except for strange hints of curiosity. There was a constant sense of awareness in the back of her mind, one that she always kept with her in order to determine the unpredictable. Kavita said nothing yet, but wondered if the others would regard her in some sort of way. Her purpose remained unknown, yet it certainly wasn't that of socializing. 'Greetings' were not really her type of thing, as she had never grown accustomed to using them except when it came to business formalities.
His eye shifted to the apprentice who had appeared suddenly. Kole was neither impressed nor surprised since it was not his presence he was worried about. Kole could smell the same mix of malice and nonchalance that steamed off Mor'laz, only unrefined. The young necromancer's words only served to confirm his theory and annoy Kole. Silence you brash fool! At that instant, an arrow snapped from it's bow. Whipping through the air with a fine high pitched whistle was the only alarm Kole had even with his keen animal senses. Without hesitation, Kole catches the arrow inches from Sar'Kona. With a sizzle, the metal turned red, then orange with heat. This was not due to Kole's magic however. This type of metal in particular was rare and made with the utmost faith imbued. It was actually burning him! In response to the pain, Kole recoiled and dropped the metal rod as it cooled itself in the stone floor, causing a clatter as it fell. Release Detect Kole quickly grabbed the two necromancers and pulled them into the shadows and behind a nearby stalagmite. Kole's heart was racing, though not in fear but in excitement. He had a unique way of interpreting legitimate danger. Peaking from around the corner, Kole could see the assailant. A shadowy figure stood in the distance behind the hill kilometers away.
At first, Mor'laz paid no attention to the stone, shrugging it off, payign Kole no mind thinking he was just over reacting. No one would come here to hurt them, not unless it was some crazed Scarred or one of En'radial's reently summoned, runt-ish demons decided they were hungry. Much to his surprise though, a young one's voice shot out and threw his ears like a bullet, just like the figure did when it jumped in front of them. His tone was much like Mor'laz's, yet only less aged, it was almost like Mor'laz had a mini version of himself. At first the necromancer almost rolled his eyes and thought perfect timing on your part, no, really it is about Sar'kona's arrival. Kole was quick to reprimand the young man, defending his own side whilst standing his ground.
That was when Mor'laz was staring at the arrow in Kole's grip, he barely even battered an eye lid when the arrow suddenly appeared, and Mor'laz raised an eyebrow. Mor'laz's reaction was almost like he thought flying arrows coming to their skulls was normal as he replied "well thank the burning hells none of us died" in a nonchalant voice. "Now, who do you suppose wants us dead? " he then raised his voice and said "You know, whoever you wish to kill i'll gladly make undead... unless i decide to make them a test subject - either way you're helping me", he almost made it sound like a game. All the
the shifting shadows nearby, they were far too distracted, and he didn't specifically control shadows in the slightest, the only ones clever enough to notice discrete changes during moments like this would be the Shadowmancers of the Land of Crows, they had a natural knack for these things.

≡ The female paused for a moment, as her steady amber gaze watched the unfolding situation closely. She was able to detect the blur of a rapidly moving arrow, only to then see it caught by the hand of a male and swiftly dropped to the ground. This was enough to spark Kavita's untamed senses of interest and curiosity, which grew even more active along with all the various unanswered questions swirling through her mind. It seemed that perhaps she was not the only hunter present after all. Such things were her forte, and judging by the trajectory from where the arrow had flown, Kavita was able to presume the location of the assailant.
Kavita stepped back, moving silently and close along the ground. Her main focus was now directed to who could have shot the arrow in the first place. Would they retreat or did they have another plan in mind? Whoever it was, it seemed that they were only a few kilometers away. Kavita's body began to dissipate, but only just enough so that she could blend in with the shadows more, using them as a form of camouflage.
Though her main focus remained on detecting the presence of who had shot the arrow, she listened in on the spoken words of those around her as well. A Necromancer it seems, Kavita remarked to herself within her mind. Given that she now knew he was a Necromancer, she was able to presume that the other male who had addressed him as 'teacher', was one as well. Kavita always found herself wondering what the intentions of others were, whether they be good or bad. These types of things, she enjoyed finding out by acting as a silent reconnaissance. Slowly, Kavita crept closer to the scene just enough to gain a better viewpoint, her elegant figure now partially blurred from the hazy shapes of shadows that acted as a shroud around her.
At the stranger's quick reply and reprimand, instead of being offended or arguing the point, Kona just smirked. It was a smirk of amusement same with the way his odd reflective silvery purple eyes seemed to sparkle. Saying nothing though, the young student necromancer glanced to his teacher and caught the look in his eyes. So small and subtle that only Kona having been with Mor'laz so long would be able to tell such a slight movement was present.
More distracted by that, the sharp whistle of an arrow was not heard till right before Kole snatched out to catch it. Kona's head just turning a few inches toward it to investigate it. And quiet a curious thing it was as the arrow burned red-hot and burned his regrettably 'savior'
"...curious..." he breathed out, unmoved by the attempt on his life. Mor'laz went on to question just who it was, as it wasn't uncommon to have such sneaky attempts on other necromancer's life. This however seemed a bit different and less out of the norm for them. Distracted by the new developments, Sar'Kona didn't notice the shift in shadows either still staring at the arrow with a silted head from where he crouched on the rocks. ___________________☫____________________

Kole tucked his back behind the rock they hid just in time before another arrow flew past, trained for his forehead. Whomever it was, they were most certainly proficient with the bow they used. What worried Kole even more was how the shooter was able to see him. With his Release Detect, Kole and any others he chose would be next to invisible. It must have been a lucky shot, he thought before another shot tore into his cape only slightly sticking out to the side. Or they have incredible sight and skill...It seems you've attracted the attention of more than just your master, young one. He crouched down to get a closer look at the other two projectiles on the ground nearby. Whatever alloy it was made from, this was a tool for destroying the walkers of Bloodholme. Its runes spoke of a language long past and victory over evil. Kole spat out his distaste and rose to his feet once again. If I had to guess, this is some sort of tool used for hunting us by a new level of hunter. He had once read of something like this with his brother when they were younger. The League of Hunters. The thirteen greatest hunters on the planet on a single mission to expunge the world of Magic Earth and all forms of magic both good and evil.
