((Sorry, Tac, but you really DID ask for this one. You know that Tavin does have the power to send someone back. Ah hell, I'm off to bed now anyhoo))
*Without so much as a blink, Tavin has his hands around Tacitus' throat. His teeth clench together so tight that blood trickles from the corner of his mouth. Power surges through his body, Tacitus proving much tougher to send back than he had originally thought. Slowly, though, Tacitus begins to fade away*
Be glad that I'm still weak from earlier, and I can't cut you off from this place entirely. But listen well what I say, creature, and mark my words well. My base instincts tell me that I should destroy you this very moment. To make certain that you never threaten anyone again. I fight that urge with compassion, with dignity, with strength. Because I'm NOT an Angel anymore. I'm NOT the killing machine that I once was. I may not be human, but I most certainly AM humane. You call yourself a GOD outside of this place.... I believe it. The God I worked for was so very close to you, and I despise him too. Mark my words, beast. In the outside world you may hold sway, but in this place, you will heed me. Because if you do NOT....
*Tavin's fangs slowly crept out, his fingers lowly enlongating into claws as his anger fooled with his ability to control his human form. His voice grew to a loud, deep bellow*
........ I SHALL INDEED GIVE YOU REASON TO FEAR ME!
*With that, Tacitus disappeared, and Tavin sat down hard, his body back to normal*

((g'night Tavin! *feels all giddy cause Tac got yelled at* ooh, tingling sensation! w00t! *insertage posting!*))
*Before Tavin had spoke, after hearing Cora's words Tac's features seemed almost to soften for a moment before returning to their evil twisted state as Tavin grabbed him.*
((yeah, I had to put that like an insertage...cause it ish important))

Malazar's voice echoes up from behind the bar.
"Heh, not a smart move laddy. He'll be back, when you're not here at first."
There's another clink of glass, followed by a pause. When the old man begins again he sounds strained for a second.
"He'll find a way to bring others, use his science and his magic to breach your realm. Hell, he'll probably even find your enemies."
He laughs, but it is broken by a fit of coughing. There another, shaky, clinking followed by the crash of glass.
"You're all children you know that? A man who does not make sure his enemies are finished is asking for them to return. You're a child, and a fool..."

*Tavin sits back, propping himself against a chair and looks at Cora and then at at Malazar*
You know... I really can't emphasize enough how great it is to meet you people.
*Tavin takes in a ragged breath, his body fairly spent from the effort*

:::Cora turned around and shot Malazar a look, still sad:::
No, Malazar He's not coming back. Not the way he was, and not with any science or any minions...he knows forgiveness now. And if he comes back for me...I'll just keep forgiving him.
:::She sounded so old...so much wiser than used to be...but then again...a lot of things had changed:::

Malazar just laughs again, and is caught up in a storm of gargling coughs.
((You know guys, you might want to realize that Malazar is out of sight behind the bar... >>))

*Tavin grinned*
And if he DOES show up with his science and what have you, I'll just have to..
*Tavin grunted and sat back down after attempting to get up*
Well, first I'll have to get some rest. Then I'll have to show him that I'm not to be taken lightly.
*Tavin tried to get up, staggering to his feet*
I don't care if it's him or The Seraphim. You'll see, old man. I'm not going to let anyone...
*Tavin looked in the direction of the mans voice but saw nothing*
HEY! HEEEY! What the hell?
*Tavin ran towards the bar*

As you get close to the bar you should note that it is littered with small, approx. 2mm in diameter, holes. A glance behind it finds a very bloody mess on the back walls, spilled wine, and a half-dozen small holes leaking in Malazar's chest. The old man wheezes and grins at you.
"Hello laddy, sorry to startle you, thought I'd be gone before you realized what had happened."
Even as he speaks Malazar begins to fade from the Brink, slowly.
"See you around"
He coughs heavily, cutting off anything else he was going to say. The coughing continues violently. Blood sprays out of his mouth and leaks from his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. Even as if drips from him, the blood fades away too. Soon enough, everything is gone. From the gore on the walls to the pool of blood under his body and the bottle of wine he had been holding.

:::Cora suddenly feels sick that there might have been another casualty:::

NO!
*Tavin scrambles to the old man, attempting to get to him before he fades away*
Hold on! I can heal you, you old coot!
*Tavin starts to hum to himself and tries to lay his hands on the old man's chest, hoping that he isn't too far away from the brink to be touched. He stares blankly as everything simply fades away, and sits there voiceless, blinking at where the old man was*

He's gone, as well as all the physical traces of his death. The bar is stilled holed, and the empty bottles he had drank still lie there behind it.
Speaking of which, there seems to be a slip of paper in one of them.

*Tavin looks at his hands, then looks at the bottle. Picking it up, he slides out the paper and solemnly reads it*

The paper is of amazing quality, seemingly hand-made in addition to being exquistly crafted. The inks look fresh, despite being perfectly dry. It is almost as if the paper had simply absorbed the ink into its very being instead of simply being written upon.
Its the picture of Cora from his book.

*Tavin slowly stood up and looked at the paper and then back at Cora*
I think this is for you.
*Tavin put the picture face down on the bar and silently shuffled past Cora towards the rooms. He made certain to keep his face down and his back to her as he walked so she wouldn't see the tears welling up in his eyes*
((Goodnight folks. I have to be up in six hours for work. See you all tomorrow))
