    Orchid smiled. It was sweet to be given such a compliment. It was of course true entirely, few beings could claim to be as unique as he. "Yes well, that's a very astute observation." It amused him to pretend to look at his nails then affecting aloofness. "I am of course not like you, that is...

    Orchid smiled. Watching the vampire drain the blood was fascinating in its own way. There were two transformations happening, almost a transference of life from one to the other. "Verily." He adopted the cadence of his co-hunter but it was mockery. His arms folded and his meal forgotten as he...

    He was annoyed at the vampire but even in his frustration he knew that they were not so secluded that none would notice if they came to blows and Orchid needed to remain undetected. Just blood, that was the offer and perhaps then he could convince her to stand up straight and use more of her...

    Swift and recklessly Orchid yanked the old man away from the clasping hand and the burning eyes. "MINE!" His voice melted into many sounds, snarls and growls as if within him was a menagerie that all spoke at once. In the dark he let his shape ripple, mouths and fangs and claws before settling...

    Orchid liked deserts. They were hot and dry and full of death. Nothing survived unless it killed something else. It felt a lot like Vel Anir. This place, a pleasant little outpost that was little more than a few sandstone buildings about a well, was full of life and in his humble opinion the...

    Private Tales A Real God-forsaken Rescue

    There was a lot of blood and the smell of it pulled at its body like fishooks in every cell of its being. Contrary to popular myth the ability to have an acute sense of smell often hindered as much as it helped. In a clear environment it would have of course been able to smell the cooking food...

    It ducked. Rhidian's power was one it feared and rightly so for it knew little else that could harm it. The bloody hot chunks flew in all directions as it stood back to holding its ears. "You look like you can manage." The pack was closing in but it had a different problem, it was still hungry...

    It laughed at that thinking such a display would be most entertaining. "I'll let you handle it then. Since you are so confident." There was a teasing tone to its words that spoke of an expectation for Rhidian to fail. They pressed on. The wilderness felt cold around them as the dark grew...

    "Good." It spoke sharply but kept walking. The night stretched its hand over the sky and it changed the world. The things of the day fled and the things of the night began to stir. Orchid stirred with them. Like all creatures born of evil it was nocturnal by nature. "When the lycanthropes find...

    First this one cannot fly, then they cannot swim, now he speaks of camp. For Rhidian it made sense though. His body was weak and needed constant consideration. It looked up at the darkening sky. Just a few hues off the bright blue of normal but enough for it to notice. "We cannot do both." It...

    Dreadlords Manners To Teach || Part II

    The room had all but stopped, It was smiling, perhaps the only one smiling. Calmly it moved its head closer to her, feigning intimacy and slithered words from the side of its mouth for only Fennec to hear. "Which one do you want? I'll take the big one if you have no preference. He'll keep me fed...

    It smiled. Focus? It had been given dance lessons since it was... smaller and was versed in many. Mother had told it that it would help in its, rise to power. The memory made it scoff. "Did you know, in Elbion the Waltz is led by men?" It allowed itself to be lead, perfectly. Its body able to...

    "Walk and talk. You will stay warmer that way!" It had considered eating Rhidian. Disruptive as the others powers were it was confident in the end it would triumph but then it would have to explain Rhidian's absence and sometimes they had truth tellers. If Rhidian died it could tell them that...

    Private Tales Taking Two

    "A fate worse than death surely." Jodeth answered with a laugh. "Then Sessile shall be given to Beckett. Leaving us with what t do with my mother. Shall we simply avoid her and slip away?" His face was half done. He rubbed his hand over it and smiled. He had missed this, morning conversations as...

    He rolled his eyes at the mention of his mother. She certainly had a way of finding herself in the most unwanted of places. Jodeth applied the shaving cream lavishly. "Maybe Sessile can keep her distracted. I'm sure she'd like to grill him for information about your travels. Call it a test of...
