Welcome to Gaia! ::

Malik looked around, not seeming to worry.

"You know, those are not easy to break, or to even buy. adn neither is the bath I have prepared for them so they feel no physical pain. if your going to electoructe something, electrocute the girls. they are cheaper and far easier to replace."

The women cowered away from them, hiding in the corners. They knew he was not joking. Malik drew Malvolence, the blade pulsing red..the small chamber of blood in the hilt bubbling lightly as he laid it across his lap.

"If you wish a duel with me after the festivites, perhaps that can be arranged. but for now, I suggest you calm yourself, before the feline suffers for it."

Cymarron watched Eclipse..and scratched into the ground. ethereal chains lashed out to attempt a binding on Eclipse, as a green ethereal serpents went after him to poison his bloodstream. provided Cymarrons fangs peirced enough, perhasp that venom was already working..before Cymarron shadowstepped himself, appearing again off to the side of Eclisper and trying to slam his full weight into him, as well as get another bite or tear at his tender underbelly.

Malik reguarded Aura cooly. she was a fiesty one.
"Yes, what if and I'lls. no one knows the future for certain. if I knew that, I really woudl have an upperhand. as of right now, I have only one. the fact that I can end the feline's life with a gesture."

He noticed her looking to his sword, and displayed it on his palms for her to look better. it was a b*****d sword type, the hilt in black, the handguard like twin horns. a skull was in the middle of the hilt, looking as if it was swallowing the globe of boiling blood inside. the blade glowed a blood red, and pulsed with the raidence of hatred.

"the blade is called Malvolence. do you like how it looks?"

While Eclipse had paws, Cymarron had hands, and his grip moved to Eclipse's neck to grip hard, keeping his jaws clamped and the venom in his fangs flowing, though he snarled loudly at Eclispe's return bite. his tail lashed while he tried to pick Eclipse up into the air, to further put the canine into trouble. Samson however, was trembling under the tray, causeing the glasses to skitter lightly.

"Excellent work, hunter!"
Malik clapped lightly, though a slightly concerned look glance down at Samson. why was he trembling? well they woudl find out later. for now he was enjoying how it appeared more and more like Aura would be his.

Cymarron roared and flung eclipse from him, several gouges in his chest and arms from the claws. he licked his jowls of blood, and took two steps and stopped. then one back. his body trembled. he had drank enough to get fleeting feelings. imprints of emotion. Love. Bonds. Friendship. it wasn't enough to stop him, but enough to take much of the edge off his combat. now, rather than bite or claw, he shadowstepped again, intending to simply grapple Eclispe into submission.

Malik was not pleased when Cymarron stopped, even for a moment, and gave samson a sharp look. the pitful wretch was shaking violently.
*how is it that he's stopped? what is wrong?*
*that creature. it's feeding him emotions. thier sparking his memory. I Can't keep him under control for very long, Master. give him up. he's too dangerous*
*Not on your life! he's winning, and that woman will bow before me as well.*
"You're falling into your father's trap, Master!*
"Silence!*
Malik turned his attention back to the fight, gripping his gauntlet ans forcing Cymarron into a choke.
"Finish it, Hunter. quit playing with your food."

Eclipse hit the ground again with Cymarron on top of him, but this time the feline wasn't using claws or teeth. A turn for the better perhaps. His mind flipped things over, Cymarron had hesitated...seems their scheme was working. "Aurahkah!" He called out from his half hearted struggle with Cymarron, "Tell me what you want of me!" Then his ears swiveled as he heard the what seemed to be gasps for air from the creature above him. Twisting slightly he managed to clamp his teeth down on the chain link collar.

Eyes narrowed themselves angrily at Malik for a moment as they glazed over to mimic the color of Eclipse's own eye."Malik, you cheat." She almost hissed the word as she heard the strangled sounds of Cymarron. Well, the little b*****d had very well stopped an order that she was about to give the wolf. A minor bump in her plans. Gripping her sai in pure anger of the cheap move from Malik, she flipped it in her grasp and flung it at him. "Afraid to lose are you?!"

Cymarron gasped lightly, as Malik's grip lightened from Aura's outburst. He flung Eclipse away, wanting space more than anything, on his knees gasping for air.

Malik turned to Aura, a face of anger.
"Even pets need to learn thier place from time to time. he had the chance to finish the job and refused. he was punished accordingly. and lose?! to you? I think not!"
Malvolence glowed brighter in his hand, before he soundly sheathed it..and turned his attention back to Cymarron.
"You will finish this, as you are told to. or so help me I will put you back in that room for an actual four years."

Nelphean's eyes almost literally glowed red, his anger sethed in his blood... Watching Aurahkah burst from the inside was too much for him, not again, not after he promised she would no longer be tortured, Nelphean looked at the source of this pain, the person who brought thin upon Rakka...

Soulforage flung across the room, straight into Nelphean's awaitng hand, he crossed it with his light sword, and spread them wide. "I promised Rakka that she would never be tortured again." The elf's world dripped with... Regret... His soul light up, this Malik had to be stopped, had to be crushed, had to be grinded into the dust, never to be rebuilt...
