Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oscuro slightly jolted upon sensing the three other presences arrive at the scene. "Well, there goes my mealtime," she muttered under her breath, facepalming again.

"Oh, you screwed up royally this time, Oscuro. You are SO getting it when you get back in here," Chiaro growled through gritted teeth, cracking her knuckles.

Her eye twitched as she bit her lip. A bead of sweat ran down the side of her face. She laughed nervously before replying to Oro, "Yes, you're right. And if you could've read between the lines a little more, you could tell Azriel was trying to hide it." She took a deep breath to keep herself from blowing up in a rant at Oro, whom she thought had been too nosy for his own good. This would be one of the worst times ever to blow up. "AHAHAH! Oh well, guess the cat's out of the bag. I may be known as Azriel's inner darkness, but I have a name of my own---Oscuro."

"Hm? It seems we have a fight." Kruhk said with a little smile on his face. It's been a while since he fought, but this one felt different, and his instincts were boiling like mad. Kruhk with his jin in hand, runs towards the source of the fight.

As he reached his destination, he saw someone. It looked like Azril, but she seemed dark. "Well, well, well, it seems we have an enemy in our midst. Oscuro right?" Kruhk then points the tip of his halberd at his foe. "Can you fight?"

Sheena nodded. "I see. Your avoiding the question. What brings you to Meltokio?" She asked. She didnt consider this being Azriel, and thus, wouldnt trust it like she did Azriel. Neither would she trust the other form at first, until she understood their motives and got to know them. She stared with narrowed eyes, standing relaxed instead of still in fighting position. "I dont know if you mean harm to anyone, but.. I cant let you hurt anyone."

Realising what they said, and judging by Oscuro's movements, they're right. However, if she fights serious, so will Kruhk. But for now, just be patient. Kruhk rested his ji on his shoulders, and stood his ground. "What do we do if she attacks? Do we kill or don't." Kruhk asked "And judging by that look in her eyes, it's gonna be difficult." Kruhk said.

Oscuro's eyes narrowed at what she perceived was Magnus' arrogance. "Defeat" me...hmph. I may be a lot younger than you, but that doesn't mean I'm a pushover, she thought scathingly.

Both she and Chiaro were surprised even further by Sheena. They were both parts derived from Azriel; she didn't understand that? The thought was quite a letdown to the both of them. "Agh...she's in for a rude awakening..." she uttered, sitting down next to the curled up, sleeping Azriel's form in the mindspace. She placed her hand beside her cheek as she looked over her, frowning in worry.

She threw her arms up in surrender, sighing exasperatedly. "...Fine. I had come all the way out here because I was hungry, you see. But I don't feed on normal sustenance, no. I feed on souls; the souls of the remorselessly evil. I was only going to sneak into the Meltokio Prison, and for a bit of amusement, read into the souls of those on the execution line and determine whether or not they're rightfully there. If they're not, I would leave them be. I can't stomach an ounce of whatever goodness is left in a person, no matter how small.

And if you object to any of that..." she shrugged and folded her arms again, "That is just how I was created, what I was created to do, by the Grand Master Eloysio Donovan ages and ages ago."

Oscuro rubbed her chin as she cocked an eyebrow at Magnus and smirked. "Well, I'm glad we've reached an understanding somewhere." She also nodded in acknowledgment at Schwarz and Oro.

"As for you..." She turned to stare down at Kruhk. At seven feet tall, eight if you counted her horns, she was actually towering over him for a change. "Did I hear you right? You have no qualms with killing me? Even after hearing that I am a part of Azriel?" She gritted her teeth, suppressed her anger, and continued, snarling, "I'll have you know that if you kill me, you kill Azriel too. I seriously don't intend on fighting any of you, as she is beginning to warm up to you all as friends. But I...WE...love Azriel dearly and hold her in higher regard than the rest of you. We will pull anything in our power to defend her. We swear we are not going to lose her." Her tone held a deadly seriousness and deep sincerity as she spoke her piece of mind. Oscuro rarely ever sounded this vicious, but if there was ever a threat on Azriel's life, she wasn't afraid to bare all. Both she and Chiaro had grown to become very protective of Azriel over the course of the past three years.

Chiaro narrowed her eyes as she looked at Kruhk through Oscuro's in the mindspace. Her opinion of him was beginning to lessen since hearing that he was prepared to kill Oscuro without a care. "Ugh...better watch it now, Oscuro. As far as we know, regardless of whatever you say, the man in all his thickheadedness has a tendency to take anything as an invitation to fight."

"Oh, I hope everything is alright." Could this be what I sensed before? I still can't tell what's going on. I still can't read anything from the people's heart very well. Maybe I should ask Cain. No, no. It is none of my business. I just met these people, I don't think they'll tell me anything so personal. I'll just wait and see. Karin seemed deep in thought, very curious but too shy to do anything. She just sat there, hoping everything will be revealed to her.
