Welcome to Gaia! ::

Getting up without a word Aucun Nom moved towards a small patch of trees. It was dark enough that he would be obscured from view by the darkness. After a moment of silence there were some rather uncomfortable shifting and cracking noises before the sounds of wood being cut or perhaps torn apart was heard. A few minutes later Aucun Nom brought an armfull of wood over towards where Bella was attending to her sleeping arrangements. "There ya go. That should be enough I think."

Moving once again with little noise, let alone speech, Aucun Nom sat back where he had been, his back to the woman. His right hand reached under the left side of his coat again, this time bringing out something dark and metallic, which he began to spin rapidly around his index finger, though in all, it looked as if he was doing so lazily.

Noticing the fires warmth, but not turning to face it Aucun stretched a bit. Not seeming to pay attention to what she was doing, preparing food or going to change, the man continued to look off into the distance without any real expression on his face. He seemed devoid of any thought at the moment.

As she went towards the small stand of trees that he had taken the wood from, she would see in the dark a rather mangled tree on it's side. It would look as if it were cut with some sort of blade that while sharp, was rutheless in it's cutting. The cuts were clean, but at the same time jagged and never once going straight through the felled tree.

(You mean Saidar dont you? Saidin is the male half of the true source...)

((Typo. XD Sylvr kept talking to me when I posted, so I was a bit distracted.))

Bella sat down in front of the camp fire, rubbing her hands together over the small fire. The forest was growing quite cold around them, even though she was still holding Saidar and couldn't feel it, she wanted to keep the impression up a bit.

Watching him out of the corner of her eye, she noticed how still he had became. Cocking an eyebrown slightly, she opened her mouth to call out to him, but he cut her off. She listened quietly to his words then looked over at him. "Alright, I think there's...some kind of animal out here loose though. I noticed a tree in the clearing over there, seemed like the animal used it as a chew toy or something. Might wanna keep an eye out for it." Of course, Bella knew that was not done by any animal that she had ever heard of before. She had a strong idea what might of done it, but she couldn't firgure out how.

Yawning quietly, she stood up and went over to her bedding, which wasn't to far away from the fire. She looked back at her campmate, "Good night, Aucun." Bella quietly slipped into her bed and turned her back to him closing her eyes.

"An animal eh? I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it." He knew she was probably thinking it was him that had caused such reckless destruction of the trees, but he would play along. He wasnt willing to just divulge every bit of everything he could do. At least not just yet.

As Bella lay down for the night he wished her a good night in return, but remained seated, staring into the distance.

Bella would probably not appreciate the method of waking her that Aucun had chosen, but he was already doing it despite knowing she wouldnt like it. Nudging the woman in the ribs he spoke in a plain voice, though a small bit of amusement seemed to creep into it. "Wake up you sleepy head! It's already past dawn!"

Some demons leave... a curious taint on the world around them. It has nothing to do with strength or standing, it is more subtle than that. Most people will tell you of the smell of brimstone, or the distorting of the air, some will even classify it as a high pitched noise just at the limit of hearing or a crawling senation on their skin.

Those who know, who truly know the demons, speak in whispered tones of the 5th sense. The very air tastes vile, like so much liquid filth being poured down your throat. Its a sensation that stays with you, imbedded in your being for the rest of your life.

Did the demon that appeared at the BC that night have that quality about him? The extra-sensory tick that warns mortals of an incoming fiend? Who was to say. But the large humanoid shape does appear abruptly next to the BC's foundation. Without a glance one way or the other it bends down and rips a chunk out.
