Demonhunter
Three Thousand Club
The cat left out a low annoyed growl as he made his way back into the building opposite to the club.
" I know, Teekl, I know. But we will get another chance to get a better look at it, I'm sure. "
{ to that the cat gave a half hearted nod, before climbing on the boy's back and laying lazily there as if he was a very expensive and fluffy scarf. Drat! All that noise was sure to get someone he'd rather not see around there. Too many people and too much attention had just ruined their night of mischief, but well that night was not over yet... In a slight of hand the boy opened a small portal, lest he be caught in that mess too, no he rather be caught on his own messes for at least those he knew were worth the trouble.
Now, there were ways to travel a mapped road, walk the path you could see get to the destiny you expected. It was the kind of magic you learned as you learned to take your first steps. Baby magic. Today he took a step into the unknown, allowing the flow to take him anywhere. Anywhere but here. As he opened his eyes he found himself in some place yet unexplored in his travels, although not for long.
the smell of the sea mixed with the rusted containers made for something completely new for the witch-boy, after all there were no seas in Limbo Town and the waters in Gotham (with all the chemicals and pollution, it could be hardly called water anymore), but underneath it all there was a smell to which Klarion and Teekl were no strangers too.
they found themselves following the smell of blood to the backside of the docks. The witch-boy choose to stay back into the shadows while his Draaga-cat made his way closer to the trail of blood that lead to a small group of fisherman, but that was not what piqued their interest. it was a very familiar scene,
thus we learn the meaning of betrayal, eh, brother ?
and yet up there, hoisted by its tail and covered in blood was something neither boy or cat had ever laid eyes on before. there was no way the witch-boy could just leave the creature to its fate. he bit his lower lip, there would be no leviathan to help them out this time, no cards up his sleeves. he was almost tempted to say a small prayer to Croatoan, so were the odds of their success. the familiar came back closer to the boy, brushing himself against Klarion's legs before looking up to him.
so what will it be, brother?
well why not? he always did love a good challenge. }
in snap of the boy's fingers the docks were filled with a blinding white light, he took advantage of the confusion to try to get the creature back in the ground, sharp claws working together with the boys magic and they were able to get it ..him? down, but now the fisherman were snapping out of the confusion and started ganging up on the weird boy, who now stood between them and their prize. klarion knew another light trick wouldn't work this time.
his Draaga-cat snarled a warning, they needed a way out and they needed it quickly, before things really get ugly.
The creature (whatever he was) didn't seem to be in condition to help them in anyway, and by the amount of blood he seemed to have lost the witch-boy was worried the creature would be dead before they were able to get him out of there. Klarion looked around, counting the men around them.
" oh, by the blasted ways of the Sheeda! of course! "
he exclaimed, before closing his eyes and twisting his hands into a almost forgotten and yet so familiar position.
he couldn't help laughing.. starting to sound almost hysterical before the space around them started to quickly be filled with red light, until it wasn't and in a second they were dropped without courtesy into the hard, cold floor.
Witch, Draaga and Merman were now surrounded by darkness, with only the boy's laugh to break the otherwise complete silence.
Demonhunter
Jace, by this point had bled so much his mind was blurring. He couldn't really breathe in his nose due to the insane amount of blood, his gills did nothing on air and the duckttape was becoming a hazard. But before he knew it he was down and laying back on the ground. All the jostling only hurt worse as his hands found the harpoon still spearing him through. Atleast laying vertical like this he could get a decent breath in. His fins twitch against his back as he passively listened to what was going on, although it did take a bit to realize someone had actually come to his defense.
Next thing he knew he was dropped into another room, against hard floor, yelping lightly. he moved to remove the tape now that he was begining to come to his sense. He immidiately split blood, gills flitting at his ribs as he lays back on his side. He wanted to go hug the boy who saved him, but he didn't feel very good. His magic let down and his tail turned to legs, fins flattening and disappearing into his skin exept for the ones on his ears.
