[QUOTE="megamania, post: 852427, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 053 “Mania meets his match” Mania heard it before he saw it. Screams. Screams of terror. A few birds went air borne where he knew a salesman was on the street side. Then the people came from around the corner. A rolling, scrambling all crushing wave of panic that consumed all in it’s path. Even a few templars were running within the mass. He ran to an ally to let the mass pass him. A few street orchins took his alley knowing escape routes well enough to use them. Then nothing. The dust settled leaving only a brief memory of the rush. Then he felt something. Something hot and irritating on his shoulder. Instinctually he accessed his inner powers and turned. A small leather skinned pale blue creature was above him looking around. It hadn’t seen him just yet. Then it looked down at him. A toothy grin grew across his face and its red eyes seemed to flare up. He hadn’t seen anything like it since seeing the undead gith creature in the desert. It begins to crawl down the wall towards him. Mania reaches for his club- no club. He left it at the building. In the moment of looking down it has reached him. He drops and rolls away from it. The creature tries to claw him and tries to bite him immediately. On his back still, Mania begins to try to kick off the small creature. In return it tries to claw and bite him but his kicks are strong enough to hold it back. He gets a solid kick in. The creature is pushed back by it’s blow by seems otherwise unhurt. It renews its attacks and bites his ankle. Its teeth don’t penetrate the leather but the pressure pops something in his ankle. They thrash about more. The creature claws at his exposed legs drawing lines of thick red blood. “Get off of me!” Suddenly a thick purplish-black cloud appears out of nowhere around Mania and the infernal creature. Mania tries to hold his breath but fails and becomes sick from it. His stomach spasms and constricts. A headache equal to the hangover he had a few days ago erupts in his head. And it comes back for more. He tries to crawl out of the stinking cloud but finds no strength in his limbs to do so. He feels the creature land on his chest…about to cut him open “Freeeedom” it snarls and then poorly tries to imitate a laugh. [/QUOTE]
