A few yards away, another hawk circled. Emma had forsaken her raven's form for something that she took a little less often.
She called up her Sight (still available to her in avian form), scanning the ground.

The hawk sees a wilting landscape before it, there are more crystals, and there
seems to be a dozen constructing portals with one complete.
There are over 30 golems now, patrolling the entire encampment.
The lanky man in a suit walked up, to a portal, and asked a Soulless one."Amazing.....so this is it?" He looked as if a child tempted to touch something shiny.
"No this is not the amazing part good sir," Said the Souless one. A woman but she spoke in Vaswede's voice.

The first hawk could feel the energy that pulsed from the standing crystals, each wave creating a subtle ripple in the time-space fabric. Portals...but where to?
What...what is this?
It made careful adjustments in flight so it was close enough to hear the other hawk's response, but far enough to not arouse suspicion.

An abomination. Emma's mental voice was laden with disgust and a hint of fear.
Fear that she herself would be tempted to acts such as this.

From one of the portals flung the body of Renu to the cold dirt. He stood straightening himself and was ready to start yelling at this necklace again, when he saw before him a woman and a man in a suit. His hand rested on his magnum, and he gave them both a glare,
"Okay where's the voice?!"

"Listen man, I want straight answers here, this place doesn't look like any excavation I've seen," The lanky man said observantly."Better yet I keep funding you with information."
"Aaaah, in due time, in due time." The Soulless One grinned."I sense something wrong; someone watching us."
The lanky man huffed."Yeah yeah, I'm cutting funding right now unle-"
The Souless One's eyes glowed purple, and casted a spell that shattered the Lanky Man to bits."I have no use for you anymore you dirty, human mongrel!"
The Soulless One turned to Renu."Not here, my good sir." It said in Vaswede's voice.

Emma could feel the black magic practically pouring off the area she now observed...it was powerful. A bit blunt, without refinement, but very powerful.
The Black called to her, but she resisted the urge.

A figure was flung from the working portal next to the Soulless and the man in formal clothing...who just exploded from a spell.
Another one...
The hawk circled lower, trying to get a better look and searching for a tree to land in.

"Well then would you be able to explain why this stupid necklace decided to bring me back here?" electricity crackled around him as his anger grew, it blended with the dark energy and shifted from yellow to blue.

There were not very many nearby trees, and the trees that were good for observing were now guarded by conjured warriors.
The Soulless one grinned, unfitting for it's face."The portal isn't perfect, most likely it has a limited time before it pulls you back to it's location."
"It's almost convenient that it did." He laughed, and pointed to the skies."One of your targets is making herself at home. Why don't you show her a welcoming?"
The Soulless one stared at the hawks, able to see through their impressive illusion.

Don't land, you will be an easier target.
Emma continued to circle, gaining a bit of altitude as she climbed.

The hawk spiralled upwards on another thermal at Emma's suggestion.
It was naught but a speck now against the darkening sky, and soon night would keep it hidden.
Thanks.

Renu followed the soulless woman's line of sight and spotted a singular hawk.
"I see a bird."
He gave the woman a glance of confusion, raised an eyebrow, and generated a current in between his fingers,
"So you want me to kill that bird?"
he said pointing his magnum at it.

Emma swore mentally, noticing that Renu had located Scribbler. She set about weaving a spell that would switch their auras temporarily; hopefully that would confuse the gunman enough to induce him to shoot Emma instead. The wards would take the bullet.

"Yes," The Soulless One responded, in Vaswede's voice. The Soulless One went back to being a Soulless One, the vampire's conciseness leaving it's shell.
It went back to constructing on another portal.
((Battle Ready: Renu Vs Scribbler; roll your dices ))
