“I have foreseen your destruction.”
Guided by memories not her own, Rivkah ran through the halls, blind, people scooting out of her way when necessary as she was not focusing on her surroundings, just her destination. Eventually the people thinned and soon she was careening through empty corridor, swinging around corners as her bare feet made barely a sound on the ground beneath her. The faint odor of old blood started to reach her sensitive nose as she neared her destination. With the mouth of the pitch black tunnel looming before her Rivkah continued inside.
"The dead shall rise. Then you will fall,"

Adellos moved with a slight sway to his gait, but no lapse of speed. With Blood in tow, he wound their way from the Basin out through the plazas and further, towards the cavern wall. There was some manner of lift there, crafted of stone but reinforced with metals that vanished back into a deep crease in the stone. Above, a guard looked down on them from a vantage point carved into the cavern. As Blood and Adellos stepped on the lift, it began to rise amidst the clattering timpani of gearwork in the wall behind them. Adellos didn't say much on the way up. His eyes surveyed the view of Andalusia's upper subterranean skyline. When the lift stopped, they were before a narrow tunnel carved directly into the face of the cavern wall, passing into a chamber concealed from the outside by its natural defenses except for the window from which the guard had spied them. In the room was a table and some chairs, spartan furnishings and two longs maps - one of Andalusia, one of Rykros. Strange patterns were etched into the walls of the room, and there were a number of arm-width holes that receded back into darkness.
"Sit," said Adellos as he moved to a chair of his own, and took hold of the map of Rykros. He flattened it out on the table, and a number of small markings had been made around Wormwood Swamp's shared border with the Desert.

Blood cautiously took a seat at the table as instructed by Adellos before speaking. "And just where are we? I don't remember taking this place back in the siege..." Blood said as she looked around the room at all the markings and opening wondering just where they were. She had another question as well but saved that till her first one was answered. -----------------------------"..But your fate has already been sealed.. There is no escape.."----------------------------------

"The Blood Barons were smart, as you know. Smart, and hiding in this city of theirs. They made many secret tunnels, lifts and chambers just out of view from the city. If the Barons had the loyalty of their guards, they might have slaughtered all of us in the revolution... but we wanted their blood and the blood they stole. And so we are here." The wilder leaned forward on his chair and picked up a thin piece of charcoal set nearby. He raised it so Blood knew to follow it's marks, and he began to demonstrate a path on the map. "If you will accept the task, then this is where it will start. You will not be alone; a guide will accompany you to the Marshes. From there, there is a town called Thaebrin where you can begin assessing the situation. As I said, we do not know the details. You will have to find them, and inform us as you go. There are a pair of radios that were given to us by the Sandstorm Syndicate... you will be given one so we may always be in contact. You will need to pack several days of rations. What produce they trade us is well enough, but do not trust the wild plants or animals. They are sick, and would poison you if you ate them."He looked up from the map and table, "Questions so far?"

"I'll accept this mission gladly... My only question is; what exactly am i looking for? and what and i doing in Wormwood?" Blood asked wondering just what she was being assigned to do since Adellos hadn't told her what she would be doing there yet. -----------------------------"..But your fate has already been sealed.. There is no escape.."----------------------------------

Adellos turned his eyes up to Blood. "This is a reconnaissance mission, but depending on what you find there may be additional work that must be done. We don't know what Talarian is capable of, if he is just or if he is attempting to kill all trade with the Dessert. You'll need to act quietly and kill silently, if it comes to that. It would be wise for your to pose as a traveler. They mustn't know your purpose or origin. I wish we had more details to offer you, but we cannot spare any men to cross the border... and if they were caught, it might spark war with the Marsh. I trust in your ability to approach this task without being detected."

That sounds right up my alley... When do I leave?" Blood asked him as she thought about how she could disguise herself, but then again no one knew her in Wormwood by her famous name, so she could just stay in her normal attire and just stick to the shadows. -----------------------------"..But your fate has already been sealed.. There is no escape.."----------------------------------

Adellos rose from the table. "We need some time to make your preparation, but not much. I will be ready in the morning, and I expect you to be as well." The wilder's thin smirk was barely visible under his hood. "Take your time, and if you wish for another to accompany you on this task you may ask. There are a few here that would be willing. It may be wise to have a group to maintain a hidden camp for you. It may be dangerous to stay in the towns. Is there anything you would like to request of me before I take my leave? We will outfit you as best we can."

"I'm already prepared to leave and can leave now... I would rather not wait till morning since i never sleep." Blood told Adellos with a hint of annoyance in her voice. She wanted to get this mission underway right now, waiting was not really something she desired to do. "My only request is that no one follow me.. And i mean no one... Do i make myself clear, Adellos?" Blood told him with a glare that showed she could kill him in a moment without feeling a thing, even if he was a fellow tribesman. At this moment all Blood could think about was starting this mission, she needed to get out of here before she started killing tribes-people. -----------------------------"..But your fate has already been sealed.. There is no escape.."----------------------------------

Adellos's single eye glared back at Blood from the recess of his azure hood, and his was more than comparable to the Draconian's. "You forget yourself, Drakuul. This is not for you. This is not a quest for your glory. This is for the tribes, and for The Desert. You will be given a guide, and supplied in the morning. You will not leave now, you will leave when we are ready to send you, and with whoever I see fit to send you with. The night needs you here in case the Plaguemen return, and Valdiir may have further tasks for you while you are away. You will leave when I choose that you leave, and do as I ask you to do with whoever you're asked to. Do -I- make myself clear, Blood?" The wilder folded his thick arms over the front of his hide tabard, and was clearly not in a mood for debate. This mission was too important for pride or preference to interfere, and if she wasn't ready to take orders on behalf of their people he could find another.

Did it ever occur to you that i was just thrown into this life? Did it? No, it did not occur to you or anyone at all." Blood told him with fury building up inside of her as she stood up from the table matching his glare. "I risked my life for all of you during the revolution against the Blood Barons. I knew none of you, yet i defended all of you and killed the Barons for you.." Blood told him putting emphasis on her words wisely. She was not in the mood to have someone disrespect her. "I know this is not a quest for glory, I know this is for the tribes and the desert as a whole... But I will not be disrespected by anyone after doing so much for this Nation...." Blood told him fury obviously in her voice as she spoke and crimson colored energy seeming to flare around her for a moment. "Now, I understand that i must have a guide and some supplies... But I will make myself clear with you; You are not my master... Krayth is my master, and no one else has the right to order me around but him. If you don't like it, then i suggest you find someone else to do this nations bidding." Blood told him as she calmed down. The last lines she spoke were directed to Adellos personally, she had no problems with him personally, but he still had to earn her respect like everyone else, for he knew what she could do to him if given the chance. -----------------------------"..But your fate has already been sealed.. There is no escape.."----------------------------------

The Captain of The Guard looked over Blood; watched how her body spoke with her words. Within the folds of his blue hood, a smirk of satisfaction could barely be seen in the chamber's low light. "I can, and will if it's required... Valdiir has much on his mind, for good reason. When he is not able to give you orders, you will take them from me." Another wilder strode in and up to Adellos. "The Soul Eater has returned - he brings another through Sky Basin." The Captain nodded and looked back to Blood. "You are dismissed."He departed from the room, and back towards the Basin. [EXIT]

The floor began to rumble. Everyone could feel it. Reverberations that trembled through the whole of Andalusia's grand structure of caverns. It seemed just slightly darker, as though a single candle nearby had been snuffed out.
Then there was screaming. Gleeful, triumphant other-wordly howling that was incomprehensibly chilling; it sounded as though an army had been in hiding within the depths of the city, and the jubilance of their uncontested ambush was enough to fill every room. It was not deafening, but it was loud enough that no one could miss it...
Nor could they miss how the city's shadows moved along the walls and floor of their own accord, trapped where they were cast but silently reaching for something near. They whipped like banners in the wind as they struggled to move to the sounds, but could not. They became an eerie compass... their pole unseen, but their direction unwavering.
Then something else bellowed through Andalusia. A voice unlike any other, whose words were unknown to all but a few. Those that knew it could not ignore them. They were the words of a Master of The Void.
আমি আপনার কল, সন্তান শুনতে. আমি এখানে

Kinetav Erth’azar
Anima | Dark Avenger | Adept | Devil’s Eye Desert
7/8 (8/8 when using Exodus)
The time for hiding might just be over
But that doesn’t mean I’ll go crawling back to the Light
When the Darkness was what saved me first
Man always tries to justify his existence
Man always tries to justify his actions and wills
But does good intention clear them of guilt?
║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║
”From the Shadow, we crawled out….”
*Kinetav had not walked far from the Basin, barely issuing out his response to the call before hands grasped his arms and his red eyes flashed down at the familiar form of Krona; words streamed from her mouth as the Anima tried to intake them all, direct questions about himself and Edge...about the voices that seemed to be invading his own voice more often with every passing hour on Rykros. Voices that Kinetav couldn't seem to keep under control...and neither Exodus nor Master could answer why this physical manifestation had occurred. Krona's eyes had softened to that of her normal green, but the shadows around Kinetav and the shrieks he continued to hear coming from his Void Master kept Kinetav's eyes glowing red as he answered her, a small, sincere grin on his face as the many souls kept ringing in his voice:*
"Dare I say that I sense a hint of concern for your informant, Krona? If your Master called, and you understood his voice...wouldn't you answer in the same tongue or speech in which the call was issued and follow him? You will see soon enough, I promise. As for the voices..."
*Kinetav's eyes darted down to Edge, and the chains that wrapped tightly around his wrist and palm of the hand that attached the Exodus to him. Kinetav's grin faded as he realized a horrible truth inside his mind... Edge whimpered in Kinetav's mind, reluctantly agreeing with the truth, knowing that with these physical manifestations occurring so often... it was only a matter of time before most of the people who spent a decent time around the Anima would know his true nature, and possibly only a matter of time before Edge's voice permanently fused with his for all the Anima knew. The time building the socket recently was becoming more for naught in the Devil's Eye Desert with the people knowing his bloodline and now especially with the voice... and he knew that Krona was going to figure out sooner or later, but he wanted the information to come to her slowly as not to overwhelm the Black Blood initially with his true nature as opposed to the childish, half-false tales that she had heard. His body relaxed in Krona's grip as his eyes darted down to the ground, more out of a sense of giving up withdrawing information than actual comfort as he spoke in a soft tone so that only Krona might hear him:*
"We aren't going to treat you like an idiot, Krona, for we know you are not one...and the voices give us away, whether we like it or not. My Exodus, my blade... his name is Edge. Never before my coming to Rykros and training has his voice manifested with mine, and I don't know what will happen to the both of us with future training...
*His eyes rose back to Krona's level and his hand grasped Edge's hilt tightly again, a solemn look on his face as his voice emboldened once more, unsure of Krona's response to his answers or what she would do with the information in the future. The shadows around them continued to shriek and give general panic, the Call of the Void in full effect as Ba'Shev soothed Kinetav's soul with just its proximity, much less the Voidsworn being in the dark shadows that he was certainly going to find as the other shadows continued to point out the way. As for the information again, it was out there, no matter the response that the Voidsworn before him would give now or later as he spoke a little more hurriedly than usual:*
"But I cannot stay around and answer all of your questions at this time. Look around you, and see the Void itself although you cannot understand its language yet. My Master calls, and I must go...No, I wish to go... Are you going to come with me into the dark, at the call of a Master who is not yours yet still of the same Infinite Dark to which we have pledged our souls?"
”….and to the Shadow, we will return.”
║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║ ║║║║║║
To the Infinite Dark I scream
An Oath that no man or immortal may break
I am permanently condemned in the first place
The “non-condemned” often beg, often scream, often lie
As Justice or just pure emotions finally catch them
But I always know if I take a truly pure soul in the end
