To Hunt a Killer

[Ixion]

As the darkness of the catacombs engulfed everything a single light could be seen as it bobbed up and down. It was a torch carried by a hooded figure with a large sheathed sword that hung from the back of his waist, compacted down to a smaller size. He had picked up a note from the city guard about a suspected leader of a racist group against apes and it was his job to bring him back. Dead or Alive. He was supposedly to meet up with another who had also taken up the job.

as the sun reached the point in the sky to start evening, the orange light of the sun shown down on the entrance of the Catacombs. going deeper into the darkened tunnel, the ruins of the large fortress began to show themselves. as the path opened into the abyss of the massive open expanse of the underground space, the ruins littered the walls of the mini-realm under the ground. hidden in an alcove of a portion of the ruins, a figure sat against a pillar. hidden in the shadows near the figure, a beautiful Dreadwing clung to the stone wall, sleeping silently as a Wisp rested in its violet mane. with the dim light that lit some of the ruins shown down on the figure, a shrouded dragon crept quietly towards the figure. with blades easily seen on its wrists, its eyes showed the intent of ending this figure's existence. as it was right above her, it raised a claw and got ready to end this being. suddenly, the figure rose her hands, daggers in her hands. as the blades plunged into the dragons skull, she pushed the dragon off the pillar, its body dropping into the darkness below, with an audio sound. sitting back down, she lowered her head once again as she placed her daggers back into their sheathes on her back.

He heard a soft thump and raised a brow when his torch came upon the trio. Hanging the torch up he looked around and finally spoke "Your my partner on this hunt?" he asked. The figure's shape lead him to believe she was one of the kins but unsure of which one. "Let's skip the introductions. Im Loth and we got a job to do" he said wanting to get this over with.

hearing the male, she didn't move at all. after a few seconds, she rose her hand up and made the motion for him to shut up. pointing to a knife that was hanging by a vine, it twitched every few seconds, even thought there was no wind in this alcove. waking up, the Wisp floated down from the mane of the hidden Dreadwing to her. swirling into the form of a two-tailed wispy fox, it stood lightly on her knee, that was bent upwards.

[Ixion]

He kept his mouth shut instead he raised a hand and a small circle appeared and within moments light only they could precieve spread out. Anything thinking it was hidden was revealed but only the four of them had the knowledge of it.

["Cosmos"]

moving her head slightly to see the small circle, she raised a brow. before she could do anything else, her attention was brought to the hanging dagger as the vine snapped and the dagger stuck into the stone. "get it, please," she said quietly, then pulled out her daggers on her legs. as the wispy fox jumped from her knee, it moved over to the dagger. letting out a sharp whistle, she suddenly rolled off the edge. free-falling, she plunged into the darkness below. spreading her arms wide, she daggers glinted off the burst of fire that was released from the snagged dragon. plunging her daggers into the back of the dragon, she heard the sound of its spine snapping. jumping off, she landed on an alcove as three dragons converged on her.

[Ixion]

Following her lead he dropped down behind her as the clink of his sword being moved into full size and with a single stroke he lopped straight through one of the dragons heads and a small runed circle appeared under another and summoned a large halberd to impale it.

running at the expanse before her, she jumped onto the back of the last on. kicking at its wing, she jumped off of it and rolled onto the ledge of a large piece of the ruins. as the dragon tried to stay airborne, the beautiful Dreadwing came plunging at it, clawing at its wings. ripping the webbing of its wings, it plunged into the darkness below.

[Ixion]

Standing next to the ape his blade clicked and collapsed as he sheathed it. Looking to her "Your dreadwing is a magnificent beast if i mat say so" he said looking at it as it landed nearby and the soft thud of the dragon hitting the ground.

["Cosmos"]

"Reawing is not a beast, she is a worthy partner and friend," she said, standing up straight to her full height. reaching out her arm, the wispy fox landed lightly on her arm, the dagger in its mouth. "thank you, Zia," the ape said, taking the dagger from it. "we should move on, there will be more coming to check on these ones," the fox spoke, its voice sounding disembodied then actually coming from it.

[Ixion]

He looked at the wisp with a raised brow "Aren't your kind usually hostile?" he asked as he followed the female. He had encountered a wisp in the far north before and he remembered that they can only be killed by either unholy or holy magic depending on the type.

["Cosmos"]

"i'm unique," Zia said, as it snapped its wispy jaws at a veil of shadows. at the direction of where she snapped her jaws, a different Wisp shimmered away, disappearing into the shadows that was its safety. jumping off her arm, the fox walked further into the ruins, with the Ape and the Dreadwing close behind.

[Ixion]

Following the trio he made sure to watch his step keeping his hand close to his blade's hilt making sure they weren't ambushed "I never got your name: he said as he followed them.

["Cosmos"]

"Midnight Stalker," she said, as she climbed onto the back of the Dreadwing. opening one of the packs, she pulled out a strange sword, its blade pulsing a sickly purple color. climbing back down, she made sure that all her daggers and knives were in their sheathes as she set the sword on her shoulder.

[Ixion]

Following her he didn't need to check his weapons as he could summon a veraity of them at a moments notice and his runes wouldn't mess up. He was surprised she hadn't asked about the magic.
