Re: U n t o l d

As they neared the room up ahead, Castien felt her stomach drop somewhere into her legs, feet perhaps. Her bare feet lightly stepped down onto the cool marble, and she swallowed once as the scent of the room drifted up her nostrils. Shadowhaph had started to walk faster, and practically dragged Castien over the threshold of the room, not even bothering to close the door before he pushed her harshly against the nearest wall, his hand sliding up to her throat and clenching his fingers there slightly. It was all Castien could do not to sock him hard in the face as he leaned down and harshly pressed his lips against hers.

Kulukath, Kulukath! He didn't SHUT THE DOOR!!!!

[Guest]

Kulukath immediately started to worry when Shadowhaph didn’t even give Castien the courtesy of closing the door. Kulukath made to lunge when he realized Castien hadn’t let go of the leash. Anger was welling up inside of her, but he knew that he couldn’t attack Shadowhaph with Castien holding his leash, else he bring her into a battle that wasn’t her own. His heart thumping madly, Kulukath snapped,
Let go of the leash! LET GO OF THE LEASH!!!

[Spritz]

Castien tried not to squirm out from under him, even as she felt his sharp fangs graze across her lower lip, drawing blood, and feeling Shadowhaph slip his hands around her waist. Her heart was thumping wildly, and she quickly dropped the leash as Kulukath roared at her to do so, letting the leather slip out of her grasp.

(I g2g soon)

[Guest]

Kulukath’s rage was steadily building up in him as he watched Shadowhaph advance on Castien. As soon as he felt the leash slacken, he crouched and pounced, tearing Shadowhaph away from Castien and sinking his sharp canines into the base of Shadowhaph’s neck, praying he didn’t have any weapons.

[ awwww! And sorry my post failed, lol ]

[Spritz]

Castien felt Kulukath's eyes boring into her, as she was pinned harshly against the wall, knowing she was supposed to stay still, but finding it very hard to let Shadowhaph just have his way with her like that. Shapeshifting was becoming quite the handy skill, and as she heard Kulukath growl slightly, she turned her eyes down onto him, seeing him in a crouch, his black fur bristling and shining, shoulders hunched, tail swishing with agrivation behind him. The great cat soon pounced onto Shadowhaphs back, making him pull away sharpy, his head snapping up as he found he was being attacked, before Kulukath opened his maw, his sharp fangs inserting into the back of the demon king's neck. Shadowhaph let out a muffled cry of surprise, before whirling around and slamming Kulukath up against the wall, ignoring the dark sticky blood that was flowing out of the puncture wounds at the base of his neck. Shadowhaph, in fact, didn't know that it was Kulukath and Castien to begin with, and only suspected that the animal, the jaguar hadn't been tame.

[Guest]

Kulukath let out a rather dog-like yelp as he hit the wall, denting it significantly. The look on Shadowhaph’s face clearly stated he was still oblivious as to their identities, and Kulukath shook himself off, soot from the now-chipped paint flying off his black coat, making it shiny again. The fur on his back rose and he crouched low at Shadowhaph, baring his fangs that now dripped with crimson blood. Kulukath knew it’d piss Shadowhaph off by showing dominance over him, which he was currently doing. Even most other jaguars refused to show their authority over Shadowhaph. But Kulukath wasn’t going to let Shadowhaph touch Castien one more time, or he’d rip his throat out right then.

[Spritz]

Before Shadowhaph had time to react, Castien had lunged forward, clipping him harshly in the jaw with her fist to temporarily stun him, which overall would make it easier to kill him when they would get the chance.

Fast, Kulukath, fast. We need to get out of here as soon as possible. Do we even need to use magic?

Castien thought quickly, knowing Kulukath was able to handle himself just fine, Baring his fangs at the demon king, who was rubbing his jaw, looking surprised. Suddenly, Shadowhaph whirled with such speed that Castien didn't have time to react as he grasped her by her shoulders, lifting her off of the ground and powerfully slamming her into the wall, her head cracking back against the stone. Soon, she felt hot sticky blood running down the back of her neck, caused by a wound she wasn't able to see, and she stuggled, but something was different with Shadowhaph. He seemed twice as strong and harder to move, and now the door flew open, and dozens of warriers poured into the room.

[Guest]

Kulukath smiled when she punched his jaw harshly, That’s my girl! he commented, only to have Shadowhaph throw her into the wall. He smelled blood and was immediately unable to control himself. He withdrew his energy from her, and from himself, turning back into his regular humanoid form. He quickly drew a venom-coated dagger from his belt and, in three strides, was standing behind Shadowhaph, one arm stretched around his neck so that the blade of the dagger rested heavily on the skin of his throat. “Let her go, or I’m going to slit your throat. I’m at the advantage here, Shadowhaph.” He snarled.

[Spritz]

Castien gasped slightly as she felt herself melting into her usual elven form, thankful that Kulukath had suplied enough energy to keep her clothes on. She struggled harshly under Shadowhaph's grip, kicking out with her legs and managing to seperate his body from hers a bit, before she looked over his shoulder and saw that Kulukath had changed into his humanoid form, before leaping into action, pulling out a deadly looking dagger and holding it at Shadowhaphs neck. Wondering where the hell the weapon had came from, she shook her head and focused, and with a grunt of effort, managed to kick the demon away from her to the point where she slipped to the ground, picking herself up with rapid speed and palm striking Shadowhaph's knee. To throw in extra spice, she added a bit of energy to the blow that her palms went smashing into his leg, the bone snapping backwards and making him cruple to the ground temorarilly.

[Guest]

Kulukath was momentarily blasted back when Castien attacked Shadowhaph, something he had not been expecting in the least. He managed to keep himself on his feet, however, and immediately grabbed Shadowhaph by the cuff of his neck and brought him to his feet, shoving him against the wall and bringing the dagger back up to his throat. “I’ve waited so long, old friend,” Kulukath said in a drawling tone, “And guess what? It looks like you’ve lost. Could’ve been my step-father, but you aren’t. And now? You’ll never be a father again.” Kulukath pushed the dagger into Shadowhaph’s throat, mixing it with his blood but not cutting it all the way through. The venom in the dagger was enough to kill a fully-grown male dragon, and even those were stronger in resistance than Shadowhaph. However, Kulukath kept the blade there, letting even more poison sink into his veins.

[Spritz]

Hardly ever the one to cower away from a fight, Castien knew that it was Kulukath who would deliver the last blow, just as she had promised him. Why had this seemed so easy? Of course, they both had scrapes and bruises from the skirmish, but that was it? It was already over? It seemed like it, as Kulukath had already pressed the knife into the demons throat, the extremley toxic, poisonous vemon flowing freely into his veins. As long as Shadowhaph was dead, the strongest of the demons, the rest of the group wouldn't dare to attack Kulukath or Castien ever again. Stepping away from the horrific scene, she heard a slight sound behind her, and whirled to see that the door was opened, and another demon warrior was standing there, looking slightly suprised and horrified at what he saw. "That's right buster!" Castien cried, needing to take out her fury on something, and here was this nice demon who had showed up for her.

[Guest]

Kulukath let Shadowhaph fall to the ground, sheathing the dagger back into its small scabbard on his belt. He turned to the other demons who stood there, terrified. Deciding he’d do a trick he rarely ever tried, Kulukath took a stance that looked like it belonged in a samurai dojo, fire erupting around him, Phsyke (amazingly) appearing beside him. “Kill.” Kulukath said simply, malice dripping in his voice. Phsyke raged with the venomous green fire and easily began to attack the other demons, though this attack was draining Kulukath of his strength, seeing as he wasn’t in the War Circle where Phsyke appeared without the need to use energy.

[Spritz]

Castien shone a smile that dripped sarcastic pity. "Sorry, looks like you're time, is up." She nodded as Phsyke started to attack the demon, and was rewarded with hearing peircing screams as she turned her back, making sure to stay by Kulukath's side, almost afraid that Phsyke would attack her to, as Kulukath hadn't given him very detailed instructions. Pursing her lips, she watched with sharp, alert eyes as the creature traveled from body to body, before she was forced to turn her head from the gore of it all, glancing at Shadowhaph, who was twitching slightly, his body starting to twist groutesquely.

[Guest]

Kulukath was forced only minutes later to withdraw Phsyke to preserve his own energy, but not before patting the snake happily on the head, “You did good.” He murmured. Kulukath turned back to Shadowhaph who was twitching in a very unsightly manner, before he looked at Castien and hugged her tightly, “C’mon,” he whispered in her ear, “We’d best get out of here. There’s no way Shadowhaph will survive that venom.” Kulukath took her hand and an eerie yellow glow surrounded them—his transportation color.

[Spritz]

Castien felt Kulukath gently wrap her in a slight hug, and she gave him a smile that said she was alright. Her head was pounding with each heartbeat, and felt him take her hand, glancing down at her feet and frowning as a slight colored mist swirled up around their feet.

(sss)

[Guest]

[ no problemo señora ]

Kulukath wrapped his arms around her as the mist finally grew strong enough to envelop them both, making sure she’d transport with him. When they arrived on the banks of the waterfall, he released her and searched in her eyes. After a split second of gazing into her large, beautiful brown eyes, Kulukath wrapped his arms around her waist and said huskily, “We did it.” Without a second though, Kulukath moved down and planted his lips gently on Castien’s.

[Spritz]

Castien had closed her eyes as the mist had enveloped them, not wanting to have to see the mayhem that was tearing out around the pair. Soon, the heavilly purfumed, blood scented air gave way into a soft, gentle breeze that carried the hints of newly opened flowers and ripe apples. Opening her eyes, she glanced up at Kulukath's face, and noted that he was staring intently at her, before he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and spoke. "It seemed to easy." Castien said hesitantly, something not sitting quite right. But as Kulukath leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, those thought's slipped right out of her mind.

[Guest]

Kulukath pulled back from the kiss, content with its kindness, not wanting the intensity and passion just yet. He shook his head slightly, his lips still inches from hers, “I agree. But there’s no way any being could survive that poison.” Kulukath kissed her jaw tenderly, a bit seductively. “Not even I could.”

[ WO-HO! I failed. :D ]

[Spritz]

(It's late at night, I'm not expecting really long posts xD)

Castien looked up at Kulukath as he pulled slowly away from her, his kiss having been kind and tender. She nodded as he spoke, and smiled softly as he kissed her jaw, before sliding her hand down near his hip, for the sole purpose on finding out where the knife had came from. She tapped the hilt with her fingers, and raised an eyebrow. "So what, you just can pull poison weilding daggers out of no where?"

[Guest]

Kulukath smiled and removed his head a few inches from hers so they could talk properly. He wasn’t quite sure what she was doing when her hand went down to his hip. When she tapped the hilt of his dagger, he frowned and stiffened slightly. “No,” he said quietly. “They were my father’s. I’ve had them ever since I can remember. They’ve killed a hundred times more people than you have seen in your years.” Kulukath pulled away from her carefully.

[Spritz]

As Kulukath pulled back, Castien was slightly puzzled what she had done wrong. She pursed her lips slightly and nodded, just shrugging. "Sorry.. I wont touch it again." She said softly, not sure what else to say. "So I'm guessing I should stay clear of them.."

[Guest]

“No,” Kulukath said simply, shaking his head. “It doesn’t matter if you touch them or not. It’s just my father. We were close, for the short time I knew him.” Kulukath moved so he stared out over the waters and towards the waterfall. It was a few minutes before he decided that he should speak again. “I guess we should be heading back into the cave now, shouldn’t we.”

[Spritz]

Castien couldn't help but move closer to Kulukath as he spoke about his father, and faintly closed her eyes, before reopening them and nodding slightly. "I'm sure you're like him. That's a good thing too." She said, before coming in closer to him and kissing his jaw lightly, brushing his hair away from his forhead.

[Guest]

Kulukath turned his head stiffly towards Castien. He smiled weakly at her before turning back towards the water. “Let’s go back in. I can conjure up some food from the juices of the crystal. The liquid taste of them may be disgusting, but the food is delicious.” Kulukath turned, not waiting for Castien, and dove into the water.

[Spritz]

Castien got the impression that Kulukath was annoyed with her, and was hesitant to follow him into the water. Perhaps he needed some time alone? She understood if he did, but he had said 'Let's', so she decided that he wanted her in the cave. Lowering her body into the water, she watched as he dove under, and pursed her lips, praying that she hadn't said or done something that offended him.
