Welcome to Gaia! ::

"That does seem to be the case," Lilith said, sparing only a quick glance at Koji, though his new form was still surprising to her. Her eyes flitted down to where his hand met the katana hilt. She couldn't help but be highly suspicious, after all, Koji never showed himself to people unless he had the intention of killing them. "Do try to restrain yourself. The Shadow would not appreciate internal fighting. I know you don't care what he thinks, but if a general dies, I'm the one who will likely get chewed out for it," she said with a frown. Her gaze returned to the one who had just emerged from the stone and she stepped towards him, partially moving between him and Koji to prevent any hostilities.

"General Omen, I don't beleive you will recognize Koji Kasshin, though you will likely have heard his name before. He was the assassin for The Shadow. I recommend, for your own well-being, not to remember his appearance," she cautioned, hoping that if Omen didn't recall what Koji looked like, there would be no reason for the assassin to target the general.

Insolence from the one it appointed, and the one who knew too much. However, it understood. Mortal flesh could not undertake such tasks; even the Shadow before had risen atop those before him. Fortunately, it showed no disdain toward the First, and, instead, spoke to him. "Your first task is to climb the stairs to the throne to which you alone are entitled. Your weakness is not physical, but mental. Even now I see doubt and worry; however, if you do not overcome these, another, less competent being will take your place. Your mortality has shown you many things, including the ways of the former." It paused. It felt like it was giving a motivational speech--not its thing. "Simply, if you do not accept the throne, your world, and the world of Darkness, will perish."

Omen chuckled at the appearence of Koji, "No need for introductions I knew his face before it became a thing of rarity. As for my phisical well being, Im just as lethal now as ever... possibly more... a feral vampire is dangerous, a feral incubus even more so... I just so happen to be both. However I would like a snack your bloodied cheek is making my stomach growl." he laughed. "I can manipulate the hearts of men and demon alike or tear it from their chest." he said with a grin. He held out his hand before pointing two fingers upward. Instantly shadowy forms began to rise from the plain around them. They began to take on the appearence of a beast human hybrid sword and sheild forming in their hands. All wore a thick black armor with a single rose engraved on the sheild. "Now as for my allegience... I promised to serve the shadow therefore tel the new shadow that the conqueror has arrived." he chuckled.

Omen grinned, "My, my, someone is a bit testy today." he said. He looked to the young girl and she tried to run. With a powerful leap he soon landed in front of her. His legs was not as lame as it appeared. The girl fell backward tears running down her cheeks as she pleaded for her life. "Calm your self young one I wont hurt you." he said soothingly. The girl seemed to relax a bit as he edged nearer. His words seeming to tantalize her. "How would you like to be something more then the pathetic life you live now?" he said.
A cunning smile spread across his face. The girl smiled seeing images in her minds eye he was placing there for her. The girl nodded absently her cheeks blushing. To her a tall man with long black hair had entered the scene in Omens place. Omen eched closer and closer seeming to walk calmly up in the vision. She opened her arms hugging him tightly like he was her savior... But he wasnt... he was the beast.
He quickly bit into her neck drinking from her all the while flooding her mind with the paradise he had created for her. It was painless, clean, and quick. Then he gently cut his finger running it along her lips letting the blood drip down into her mouth. "Soon you will join me, and you will serve me well." He said. His voice no longer raspy, it was dark and smooth and contained a twisted edge to it. He also stood much straighter now and his skin began to take on a more natural color. The few grey whisps of hair quickly darkened before more hairs grew in beside them. He stood much taller then most demons now and his body no longer seemed so frail. He looked just like the man from the vission... because he had been the man from the vision. He looked to lilith who would have seen the visions as well. "Being both a vampire and incubus i am a master at charming the hearts of others." he said calmly. His shoulders broadening greatly before muscles began to form beneath the dark robes. The sword which at first seemed impossibly large for the frail body now seemed an easy fit for the general. As this took place behind him the young girl slowly turned into a creature of darkness much like him not quite a vampire not quite a succubus. She stood up and bowed deeply before stating her name and pledging to serve him. "Very well, you shall be my newest comander." he said calmly. He looked to lilith to see how she would react to all this information he was showing her.

Omen grinned grasping his sword in his right hand. The cloak around him began to fit better and grow closer to his body. In a few moments it began to bulge before creating the final piece. His armor began to form over the dark shroud encasing his now strong shoulders. "I am afraid I am still not at full strength, in fact if i dont find stronger blood soon then I will revert back to what you saw moments ago... However i have a few days before that will happen." he said his hair loosing some of its black sheen to prove his point.

Omen Grinned, "Just a few drops will do... the problem is it must be someone with incredible magic ability. It acts sort of like a catalyst so a few drops will work fine... but it needs to be pure blood..." he said not trying to clarify it anymore then that. Before hed been able to get what he needed from the shadow himself... but would this new shadow be strong enough or would he have to find... others... "I must consult the new shadow... he may have what i need." he said calmly.

((Is Red-Queenie with us?))

"Then," Lilith said, a twich of her hand summoning a portal to The Shadow's throne room, "be my guest." She moved through the portal first, to assure him that there were neither tricks nor traps. She had learned her own lesson today to not enter portalss if she didn't know where they went. If the general didn't trust her still he could always summon up one of his own, tough she didn't know if he had the power at the moment to do so. As she emerged she stepped forward, immediatly bowed to The Shadow, glanced at The Darkness- she was unaware quite how to address the being, since it wasn't mortal, and was the very thing they were striving to create more of. "General Omen has returned to serve you," she announced.

((I'll PM her and if she doesn't return soon or respond with an explanation I'll replace her))
