Generation Legacy Issue #13 "Genocide" - Part 1

[Aenion]

The Summoning

The being begins to twist and take final shape with the sounds of bones breaking, flesh tearing, and other equally disgusting sounds. Before she stares back at Gilden, there is a cool hatred behind the eyes, but she is the spitting image of the Red Witch.

It hisses… it takes a tentative step forward and then recoils with a louder hiss. It speaks in a soft husky voice, “You have contained me,” the grin is sickeningly wicked, “but I can sense the fear in this room… and the mark of the Mistress,” she glances at Kelly with a hungry look.

Before focusing on Gilden, “Oh yes, I smell the fear and hatred… it fills me… with such… pleasure. Come closer and I can show you just how pleasurable it can be…”

Karen places a comforting hand on Kelly's shoulder, the other hand still clinging to Kal's, "I won't let it hurt you..." she whispers, trying her best to sound confident. She is somewhat relieved that the binding seems to hold and she even manages a weak smile at Anika's attempt at a joke. Of course the fact that it now looks like the garden gnome version of Red Witch helps as well, it looked almost cute. She was more afraid of her demons than of the witch herself. Afterall they'd beat her once before...

Kelly squeezes Karen's hand back, and just watches the demon Red Witch...was the Red Witch really a demon or what? she wondered inanely. "I'm scared, but we have to do this, so we will." she says, firming up her trembling lower lip. "If it gets out I'm turning it into an ice cube."

Ryan rolls his eyes at the demon, taking a step forward. I'm not going to let some stupid miniature wicked witch intimidate me. "I wonder if you can smell the supreme ass kicking you would receive if you stepped outside of that circle. Yeah, we're the scaredy cats here."

"Anyway, Gilden, how many questions can we ask this thing? Twenty? Three? Not a clue?" Okay, we all know what the answer to that one was. It's the answer to a great many things, I've found.

"I think not creature. The spell has been cast and the lines of power drawn. You are bound here until I release you." Gilden responds to the demon with a confidence that he has seldom shown, it was important that the demon knew that he was the one in control. It was important that he shows no weakness.

Ryan rolls his eyes at the demon, taking a step forward. I'm not going to let some stupid miniature wicked witch intimidate me. "I wonder if you can smell the supreme ass kicking you would receive if you stepped outside of that circle. Yeah, we're the scaredy cats here."

"Do not talk to it. Do not draw its attention." Gilden snaps in reply never losing eye contact with the demon.

"I seek information hellspawn, about your mistress and her master. Lets start with something simple, how is she controlling so many of your kind?"

"I seek information hellspawn, about your mistress and her master. Lets start with something simple, how is she controlling so many of your kind?"

The creature seethes, the miniature Red Witch loses her smile. She finally answers after a long moment, “Foolish mortal, she is the Mistress of the Dark Realm she holds the Ebon Thorn, forged from the souls of the damned. It has power over all of my kind, and we serve, it cannot be shattered nor destroyed. It is bound to her, and the one who wields it has power. Perhaps you think you can succeed her in claiming that power?”

Cassie

Ryan grabs her hand, “I think you didn’t understand, you are not going. I am not going to die, and I am not about to let you leave. I don’t care what you think, but I need you to keep me alive. So either you come willingly, or I am making you come with me.”

Cassie

Ryan grabs her hand, “I think you didn’t understand, you are not going. I am not going to die, and I am not about to let you leave. I don’t care what you think, but I need you to keep me alive. So either you come willingly, or I am making you come with me.”

"Or what? You'll beat me to death Ryan? The only thing you have on me is your powers. Which YOU cannot use for fear of hurting or killing me. Now..remove the hand or I will remove the need for you to be worried about Overseer killing you." Cassie says calmly, too calmly, for those that know her. "I said I would help keep you alive, but to that end I need to move onto some things and find out what exactly I am."

"I said I would help keep you alive, but to that end I need to move onto some things and find out what exactly I am."

Ryan shrugs, “I don’t think so, who cares what you are. You are no one, nothing, just a means to my end. That is what you are, nothing. When you finish you will be nothing, and no one will remember, but everyone will remember me. It sucks huh? Butt hat is how it is, so don’t make this any more difficult then it has to be, I didn’t waste my time saving you, just to have you run off again.”

Ryan continues to hold her hand.

Gilden ignores the dig about taking control of Ebon Thorn, but if it was as powerful as he thought it was then the last place it should be is in the hands of the Red Witch. "Where and when did she gain this artifact? Also tell me why does your mistress wish us to attack Genocide?"

Ryan continues to hold her hand.

"Or I do nothing NOW, and you're dead in a year." Cassie says firmly. "I mean..what's it to me? In the end you're right.. I'm dead and gone.. and no memory of me will exist." She smiles grimly as she looks him in the eye. "Or.. I could turn to Overseer..he can't be anyworse than you. I'm sure he'd be willing to accomodate me, given our..connections."

As soon as Ryan reacts to the jibe she feints and strikes. Her first blow is a hammer blow with her knee to the groin, and as he reacts to the obvious strike, she slashes at his throat with a knife hand.

OOC: Feint/Strike.

Ryan forces himself not to roll his eyes at this line of inquiries. How about we ask questions that are relevant. And maybe something that anyone with a healthy sense of paranoia could answer. She probably got her new little toy from Overseer or Aris, and she wants Genocide dead so she can pursue her own plans and get her reptilian boyfriend as a super powerful demon thing.

"Gilden, why not ask the identity of the agents that the Red Witch and the Overseer have placed here at the Institute?"
