Nothingness
Two Thousand Club
Shinji Araki
Continuing on a full sprint through the dense and pitch black path of the forest while the sounds of the corrupted beasts had closed in from behind the hooded male. Shinji had kept his dark ocean blue hues focused on the path before him. Even with his injuries, he was still able to maneuver around each of the trees that came in his path without too much trouble; risking the chance that possibly dropping his bow and quiver would help him run all that much quicker; the beasts that kept their assault coming forward only crushed the bow and quiver underneath their paws while they snarled and growled to reach ever closer to their prey. As Shinji had drawn closer and closer towards his destination of the cabin, he could start to feel the throbbing dark energy of the scythe calling out to him in his weakened state; knowing well enough that the weapon was not to be used since it could even corrupt him just like the other beasts that were chasing him, it either that or end up getting himself killed and possibly harming the new female friend he had just made; for now it was just a risk he had to take.
Eventually, it was only a matter of time that his own wounds would start to affect him far too much for him to be able to fully focus on the path before him. His vision had soon enough started to become blurry as he finally ended up losing his balance after a few further steps just to end up tripping and collapsing straight into the hard ground, his face being buried into the dirt while the sounds of the echoing growls and howls from the beasts grew closer and closer by the second. Without enough energy to be able to fully form himself into his true form of the phoenix at the moment, it was almost no doubt that he was going to be killed just to be resurrected once again through his ashes. Cursing silently to himself at his own body as it failed him to be able to move forward any further, the entire time he laid there he had been unaware that Efert had been on her way towards him.
Dominik & Esdeath
After Esdeath had left the interrogation room and the ice that had surrounded the ex-general had been removed other than those that are around his wrists and his ankles to keep him from using his power to break free of the room. The dark haired male had kept his head downwards at stare down at the cuffs that kept his movements limited even with the light hanging above his head swinging from one side to the next; knowing well enough that every movement he had made in his seat at this point was being monitored by a camera somewhere within the room, he kept completely silent to see when he could take his chance to be able to break out of the room. Meanwhile, at the security room; two soldiers had been sitting in front of multiple monitors that were plastered all across the front wall; cameras had been everywhere throughout the building as some watched halls, others watched different offices and there was even one that was focused mainly onto Dominik in the interrogation cell. The two soldiers that sat there watching the cameras had multiple cups of coffee and donut boxes that were all empty scattered all around the room from just how long they had spent their time in that same room every single day.
Within seconds of the two soldiers just sitting there staring at the screens, an unexpected visitor had decided to make itself known when the door into the room swung open just to reveal none other than the Ice General herself; Esdeath had marched in with a rather stern and annoyed look on her face from how the room looked. Marching her way up towards the two soldiers who had quickly stood from their seats just to salute to their General even if their uniform was a complete mess. With a single smack onto the back of each of the two soldiers' heads just to make them go flying over towards the nearest wall for being such slobs, she stood in front of the screens only to notice as to how the female weapon; Isral had just left the governor's office looking as though she had been injured. The sight of this only bringing a joyous smirk across the female General's lips as she nodded her head before bringing her piercing gaze over towards the interrogation room camera and having her smirk immediately fade to one of rage. "You two! Make sure you watch him! If he tries to make any sudden movements that look suspicious at all, you let me know immediately! Got it?" Demanding such an order towards the two soldiers who slowly helped themselves up after being practically tossed to the wall before nodding their heads with yet another salute.
