The creature peered silently from it's perch among the trees. He'd only just left the city of the damned to take residence on the borderline of Atrum and Opries. He'd found a none inhabited tree and felt inclinded to have settled down there for the now.
The creature seemed to have limitless patients as it' eyes, black as obsidian scanned the world before it. It was looking for something...or perhaps some one, but as to what it gave no evidence or meaning to as of yet. Cias chackled without warning it's head tilted to the side exsamining the eye it held clutched.
"Now, now what could be coming my way." He looked back scanning for some hint to what had caused the seeing eye's vibration. A sudden cold draft made the winged hellion shiver as he hoped away from the cold air. Glaring annoyed he studied at first a faint purple will-o-wisp and was amused when it became noticably see-able.
"Well now." he spat in greeting. "what the hell do we have here?"
The spirit in truth had no home to call it's own, he wandered as he pleased, generally inbetween the city, atrum, and on the rare occasion bestia, although he found it to hardly suit his needs. In the city he could strike up a descent haunt, or within the darkness he was content to be alone lost in thought.
Yet now, the child-like ghost merly stared blankly at the nightscape-like pidgeon. He didn't care for the pigeon right off the bat. Then again Aki hardly cared for much. He wasn't even sure why he'd left the realm of darkness. For what this thing? That hardly should be the case.
"Fantastic, you'd better not be what started my journey" He said flatly arms crossing over his chest. This was just too much, he'd had high hopes he was being called to the human who feared him most. Yet here he was, listening to a chackling pigeon, of all things.
"Although.. I have to wonder." Aki's translucent gaze flickered curious. Gods shoot him if this beast was ment to go to the same human. "Perhaps the calling day is nearing." He couldn't help wonder who else would be called to torment another of the human race.

With a twitch Grim kicked at the dust below his feet. He was in no mood to tolerate his.. small pain. This pain was sharp and composed of all that is evil. It was bubbly, obsessive, and at the moment tugging on his long pony-tail.
"Faint... why do you bother me so? Go.. jump a cliff please."
He bent down and tried prying her hands off of his hair to a more painful result than expected. Not only was he stabbed with a few needles but quite a few strands of hair left with the person owning the needles.
"Hm? But this is more fun. It's far too boring to kill myself"
"Shall I do the honors of throwing you then? Ladies first.."
As he shot at icy glare at the younger terror he was oddly met with the cheeriest expression. Faint had traveled all the way from her home juuuuust to annoy the living hell out of Grim. It was becoming a common habit of hers. This confused Grim as he did everything he could think of to get rid of her. From traps to incantations .. nothing seemed to keep the little demoness away from his personal bubble. He wanted to KILL her as it was common nature for him. For some reason.. he can't bring himself to punt the little pain off of the cliff like he so very wishes to. Perhaps he is more occupied with the oddest site of the day. As he tilted his head he concentrated on the voices nearby.
"Come on Bones.. tell me a story..."
"Shut up.. someone else is here.."
He finally pried the young terror off of himself and grasped onto his scythe, ready to make the move if needbe. Seeing a small, freakish bird and a spirit was an odd awakening to him. Others were in what he called his territory. Not a pleasant thought to him.. but at least amusing in a sense.
"Bones... what shall you do?"
"After killing you? Share a cup of tea with our guests perhaps. You, GO HOME ALREADY"
"Murr? Whyever would I do something as boring as that? ..."
He winced and walked over to the two strangers, Faint clinging to his leg now. Perhaps embarrassed he then sighed and closed his eyes, plotting revenge for later on.

Cias's head tilted more studying the dark figured male who clutched an enormous sycth and the loud child who clung to him. Embrassed was he? How... He rolled his eyes to himself as he swooped down landing on the ground not to terribly far from Aki.
"Mm.. More new comers." He chackled under his breath and turning his gaze to them both, nearly unblinking and eeriely like. His stare was half inbetween hungrily, and curiously. Although he was in for a rude awakening when he felt an icy cold hand clamp down on his beak and apply forceful pressure even as the odd bird attempted to open his mouth to protest.
Aki sighed impatiently at the bird and grabed hold of the musing creature, his small hands locked around the beak of the squaking creature but the child refushed to let go as he looked up at the demon and the terrror who'm was nearly his size.
"Evening gentlemen..and lady." His tone was a touch dry, almost cynical as he studied them not having a clue what the stupid bird had just landed them both in.
Some were in his mind he heard a strange voice, one he'd heard countless other times. A faint mumble as if some one had whispered in his ear only faintly enough to make sound. Shaking his head to exnore the annoyance he leveled a glare down at the now squaking pidgeon. The innocent child like face was distored by the nearly white pupils, and faint purple glow to it's skin. Unlike the the dark grey and red bird who clutched a bright silver bloodied eye. Both looked strange, yet all at once the two even having just ment had a connection.

Faints eyes widened at the sight of the tiny bird. With a small grin plastered on her face she quickly let go of Grims leg and allowed blood to finally flow through it once more. She then skipped over to the two strangers and stopped before them, giving a cute little bow. Before Grim could respond to this action she leapt onto the bird and hugged at it, giving it a pet on the head after prying it away from the ghosts grasp.
"You're... amusing.."
She said will a slight purr in her voice. She then preceded to pat at the morbid thing some more.
"What the hell? ..." Grim made a forward motion to begin his way to all of them and take Faint back but he then stopped. He had a nice thought, they might kill her. Instead he stamped his scythe into the ground and leaned against it, slightly amused at the sight before him. Tilting his head to the specture he smiled.
"Lady? She is anything but a lady. What is your business here? Selling? Trading? By all means, take the little runt there if you would like" he mumbled out with a look of vengeance in his eyes. Faint merely made a sour face and stroked the bird a bit harder than the last time.
"I am not an appliance dear... " she said extending her "nails"
"Really? Wasn't aware of that pinky"
"Perhaps Bones needs a time out?"
"Why you little.. I dare you to repeat that ..."
"Hm? Why? To let our guests know you missed your naptime?"
Grim growled lightly and tried shutting Faint out of his mind for the moment. Ignoring the two strangers was not something he was about to do. He was already humiliated for the time being.. he shouldn't push it anymore. Perhaps he could bring himself to kill her... one day. For the moment he could only amuse himself by imagining the different ways that was possible. Doing so brought a small smile on his face once more.

Cias's eyes widened in suprise as he was snatched from Aki's grasp, although it was more out of morbid fright of the massive talons desending upon his head. The little wench.. He felt blood tricking from the nicks and cuts she created from her "petting" squaking in pain the pidgeon glared at the girl.
"Woman-child!" he demanded. "I am not to be petted, least I add your pretty eyes to my collection!" He mused as he tried to wiggle free. Upon her sudden more loving...err carsess he screeched suddenly feeling her "nails" shred along his flesh, leaving deeper more painful wounds.
"SON OF A~!" He broke away from her and fluttered up to sit on Grim's shoulder snarling profanities.
Aki simply couldn't help himself as he laughed. "Ah now that is certainly fitting." His pale eyes peered unmercifuly at the morbid creature. Then his gaze flickering to Grim simply smiled.
"To be honest, I have not the damnest of a clue." he sighed impatiently looking around.
Cias stretched his wings and tucked them against his body as he tilted his head and looked side ways at the dark figure he was perched upon. "Tis a summoning you see, or at least that is what the child was thinking."
"Shut up bird." He muttered as he finished speaking. "It's just some presistant nagging, I keep hearing a voice." He finally added looking at Faint curiously but said nothing. These two amused him already.
Coo'ing under his breath he glared at Aki with a murderous gaze but let it go..for now.

Faint pouted and wandered closer to Grim, clawing slightly at his leg. "Come back hear birdie " .. she said growling a bit. While she might act cute and bubbly this was mainly a plot to fool people. She normally always gets what she wants, whether from cute charm or painful hugs. As she continued to claw at Grim he winced and slightly kicked at her, realizing this was a mistake as she jabbed a neddle deep into his leg.
"GodDAMN you.. you.. little pest. STOP WOUNDING ME!" he snarled, trying to limp away from her after prying her needle out from his leg. As he did so he glared at the bird on his shoulder with distaste. "She wants you.. for once.." he growled and picked up the bird with one hand before throwing it down to Faint in which she purred and happily leaped at it to only pet at it once more. While this wasn't nice.. Grim was normally not a nice person. He tolerated people in the end, the same thing Faint does really. As Grim stopped limping her sighed and leaned against a dead tree that was nearby, glaring at everyone once more.
"Oh come on.. you're a wuss. Admit it.. that didn't hurt"
DAMN YOU ... like hell it didn't!" D:
Heh ... really now? Bones .. bringer of death.. wounded by little ol me?
Speak for yourself.. YOU'RE TAUNTING DEATH" >>
Murr?
With a twitch Grim looked down to the blood flowing from his lower leg and winced again. Pain was something he preferred other people to have. He turned his gaze to Aki and growled. He still wasn't too sure about this people. If the damned bird amused Faint then so be it, she could have him as far as he saw it. But the ghost.. what was his purpose here?

Cias groaned in near panic as he was snatched back into the little manics grasp and felt his eye twitching as he hugs both crushed him, and her razor nails gratted at him.
Damnit it all..How the hell was he stuck with this? Sighing he wiggled some, but felt her bone tight grip and knew there was no chance this side of hell he was getting free.
The bird stared at Grimm accusingly
"You son of a.." He sighed and flinched once more realzing he was being carried. "Put me down this instant." He grumbled making moves to peck at her as he felt a poping sensation.
Aki saw the cold look Grim gave him, and the growl under his breath. He was not frightened, while this was death, Aki himself was a being of the dead. He was a soul yes, and perhaps the reaper could claim his very being but for some reason he did not feel like the world would come crashing down this instant if he had a voice.
"Have you not felt a strange pressence pressing upon you?"
The child-like specter then turned arching a brow as he listened to Cias squaking out of desperation to be ride of the woman, Faint was it?
"In all my years within the Nightscape, it was only recently I felt a pressence of another." His gaze flicked back to the being of death and to the blood trailing down his leg yet said nothing on the matter.
Cias growled as he finally was free of her and staring up at her muttered profanities of many a colorful varitiety under his breathe.
"I am not a scatching post my dear." He gritted sounding at least half way plesant. Looking over his shoulder he tilted his own head until a sickening pop sound issued. "Err...right pressence." He chackled then looking back at Faint he eye'd the girl-woman suspiciously, incase she was getting any bright ideas that he indeed was her play toy.
Aki simply shook his head softly, the bird was too foolish. He could be beaten up side the head with what he spoke of, and the ghost questioned if the morbid thing would even pay it a notion. Yet he was certain Cias knew something, else he wouldn't have even bothered to look at him. That much Aki was certain of.

Grim sighed and snapped his fingers. The blood slowly trailed back into his leg, leaving a pale mark where the sore once was. The sore would leave.. but for now it was a small reminder of his pest problem. "Anyone care for a puppy? I.. think.. it's house trained"
What are you going on about Bones?
Nothing.. nevermind.
Faint gave a deathglare to Grim then pawed at Cias instead of picking him up again. "Tell me... what does birdie do for fun?"
Grim twitched, not really wanting to know the answer to her question. He was pissed off that people were in -his- territory despite the fact Faint totally owned his a**. He wanted them out, but was too amused by Faint and Cias to fight them in reality. It was fun to see her latch onto something else for a change. He tilted his head at the ghost when spoken to. "Presence? Depends... on what sort of presence you are speaking about. His eyes gleamed a dark red, his hand tightening on his scythe in order to mark his place. Faint merely giggled at this and pawed once more at her "birdie"

Cias grumbled under his breath about not wanting a puppy but the mutter was completely in-audiable to most anything sound more like a muffed humurf. Shifting weight onto his right leg the pidgeon smirked whickedly upon Faints question. The simplist answer was tourture, he enjoyed tormenting those stupid enough to fall for it. After all he was a pidgeon, he couldn't wait for the day he'd meet the human fool enough to have a FEAR of something such as himself, although he didn't blame whom ever it was.
"Mm.." He indicated to the eye he grasped. "One of my hobbies." He snickered
Aki felt his brow raise a touch more, the girl certainly took wellt to feather for brains. Looking back at the aspect of death the child like figured closed his eyes as if listening to something.
"It's not a strong one, it's more an annucance on the back of your mind, like something is trying to "connect" to you, but it's almost far away to make anything of it." He opened his eyes once more and peered into the crimson gaze of the other.
Cias hopped side to side as Faint pawed at him more. Both to avoid the razor like talons and to keep her amused. Saddly he couldn't help it. As his beddie black gaze watched her, the creature also felt amused.
"And you woman-girl?" He tilted his head cooing, a strange form of a chuckle one could conclude.
Aki didn't even bother to intrupt the "conversation" those two had begun to host. If the bird wanted a playmate that could dice him into a thousand peices, by all means he mused privately.

Faint giggled. It was the kind of giggle you hear from a woman right before she revs a chainsaw and kills her husband. She had a gleam in her eye that not many had the opportunity to see. Grim however knew this gleam and was slowly backing further away from the little terror. He could easily overpower her, but did not. It was a mutual relationship that one always had the shorter stick on. Grim was always the one hoping for Faint to get eaten by something far larger than her. He was also hoping to be there and cackle when that happened.
She pulled Cias closer, smiling at him like only a devil could. She murred. She was happy. "Torture? My my.. I do believe featherbrain here could be amusing Bones"
Grim, still taking backwards steps twitched hearing this. "I refuse to have a molting, complete idiot walking around my home. Helltotheno"
"Not even if I promised to take good care of him Bones?"
"Unless I get to break it's neck right now, it is not allowed NEAR home"
She glared at Grim with a look of death in her eyes. She always got what she wanted. She WOULD get what she wanted. She snarled, clutching Cias up tighter to her chest. For the moment he was hers.

All the air escaped from his lungs as the girl squeezed the murderous bird as tight as she could. Cias could sense that indeed if she wished it, she would have it. You could see the look pass threw his eyes, he wasn't at all happy about being "owned" but he could feel the strength in the woman-childs arms, and here the malice dripping in her voice.
"Just remember woman, I am no pet." He chuckled and peered up at her.
Aki small smile was a dark one, but he did not hint to the mannerism or means as to what he was thinking upon. The mentioning of tourture, at least the method in which the bird spoke of him hardly appealed to him. Mental perhaps, but physical? The eye was tribute to Cias little "hobby." The boy like specter internally flinced, he didn't belong here. Bird brain seemed to fit right in.. Which didn't suprise him. His chuckle rolled from his lips as he turned his gaze west ward.
"What becomes of it all?" he peered into the vast darkness of Atrum, and tilted his head slightly. Snow white hair shifted about. The wind current, it was changing.
She wasn't to be ******** with... Then again neither was he, but the pidgeon also knew when to let things smooth over, if she wanted to play the game...How could he deny her? After all, these two were certainly odd. The aspect of death, and a princess like aspect, one of death in her own right.
"Awww you don't want me around?" He coo'd, as he studied the dark figure who seemed to be...backing away.
That couldn't be good, a demon was more worried about a terror.. Cias suddenly had a feeling when this girl woman grew to her final stage, there would be hell to pay. Even better.
Aki looked over his should upon hearing the birds words, what in hells name was he up too? Narrowed eyes stared after the creature. Shaking his head, he went to move taking it as a sign the 3 were perhaps buisy, if he was lucky no one would notice. Fat chance.

"You think too much spirit .. everything has a purpose. It lives.. and dies. You can either take your form as life or death for all I care. To me, you are nothing." he glared at him, nothing funny left in his eyes. As someone who loves to deal out death as one would deal dice .. he was not entirely sure whether or not a spirit in his home would be good for his self-worth. It was an odd feeling.. one he could not decide upon.
Faint tilted her head, noticing the change of tone in her "servants" and proceeded to smack at the both of them. It was her way of getting them to shut up and stop sulking. Well.. for now anyways.
"Ow.. damnit she-beast.. lemme alone" he winced, slipping downward once more to tend to his leg.
"You're wrong, Bonehead. You of all people should know by now that there is no purpose in life.. unless they make it for themselves. Take this toy for instance ..." she said, petting at Cias once more. "Do you truly think this disaster would survive anywhere alone? His only purpose is his human. It is OUR only purpose. The only reason we exist is to feed.. to survive. You make it complicated though and give yourself a purpose, an able demon that made a life for himself outside of his feeding ritual. "
Grim stopped tending to his wound long enough to blink twice, trying to figure out if he was dreaming himself. Faint never.. really talks that long. Never really says anything as deep as such. Her purpose is to make herself an able demon, taking down the ego of people that she so desires it would seem. But .. why?

Aki simply smiled the child-like ghost wasn't offened or disturbed. He hardly minded if the grimm reaper hated him.. Hell it might even be fitting. Tilting his head although he studied Faint. Her words hadn't been something he...Acpected from.. What would he call her? Either way, she didn't seem like the type to be so analtical. His eyes narrowed but he kept his mouth shut.
Cias heaved a large sigh, oh boy oh boy was this a ton of bull s**t. He was a damn pet now? When he met his human, like HELL he would be some pet. He would be incontrol, and tormented for evening having him as a fear. He sneered, sure a mutant pidgeon oh ah..Oh well, that human exsited, he had to draw his energy from some place after all.
His beadie black eyes stared at Faint. Her nails sawed threw more flesh, but he'd long since stoped trying to slash his own way away from the rotten she-woman. She just crushed him hard and cut into his skin even deeper.. Snarling he squimed anyways. "Well. When our human's are found, it is indeed true we feed of there energy.." he paused closing his eyes. "I'm hungry" He demanded of the princess like fear. He stared as he twitched wanting free like all hell.
Aki's lips twitched, almost about to smile but the look drained off his face too quickly to notice it. Even if he wasn't pet lap dog like Cias over there (thank the unholy gods) he couldn't help feeling a weird kinship with these oh-so kranky asses.

Grim blinked, staring back and forth between Faint, the bird, and the ghost. It was a fairly odd meeting so far. It kinda made him want to puke for having to be semi-social actually. He did not hate the ghost, he simply had tried stating the truth. To him.. anything that dare struggle against death itself is pathetic. Death makes things in order after all. He could not judge Aki, not knowing why he was here. He stared down to Faint, quite amused at the little featherbrain in her arms.
"Hungary? ... I could use a good fried meal. You might give me the plague though? >>
"... Hmm ... You are nothing but trouble alone I would assume. I would also assume that it's the main reason Aki has stayed. It's only a guess, but why else would you be with such a moron as this dear boy? Birds are not really good company" She pet at him more, ignoring his plea for food. She was not really breaking skin anymore either, she would if he kept squirming though. She ... was in a nurse outfit. Death was something she knew as well, despite being fairly young for a Nightmare. Perhaps it is why she enjoys latching onto Grim, being with something you know is better than being alone. She is faaar too ... well.. lets just say that she will never admit to that.

Cias scoffed at the Grimm Reaper as he settled down into the small Nightmares arms. At least she'd stopped slicing him, but if one thought about it, the strange creature would bolt the moment she gave him the oppernunity, he coo'd under his breath being his form of a chuckle. "Aww but dont you want the plauge?" He all but batted eyelashes at that remark. The pidgeon was a snarky son-of-well you know. But it didn't take a genius to know it was in good humor, or something along those lines.
The specter tilted his head slightly as if musing on something. Aki had indeed not passed on, he had choosen to remain. The reasons sometimes where beyond him, but one thing was certain SOMETHING or perhaps it was someone had called to him just as he was about to cross over. Which had been strange, a cry in the darkness had awoken him from his eternal slumber. His hollwed gaze feel onto Faint and Cias as a smile again broke over his lips. "You would make a whole city sick if it pleased you," He tilted his head as if listening to some whispered voice. "But, you prefer the screams and cries." He shruged slightly with a slight shake of his head. "but to answer your question Faint, he makes me...laugh." he said unsure of his word choice. "So he works for now."
The birds wings fluttered some, but it was as if he was trying to get more comfy. "I'm still hungry damnit." he about literally hissed. "But then again." his coo would have been funny had it not been from the muntant creatures beak. "That works...for now." he sounded like he was pouting, but who the hell knew with that odd creature.
