Chapter 4: Exodus Part 5

=i rock back and forth=
I'm evil. I'm nothing but evil. What made me think I could live a normal life? Evil, Mali. Mali...

=my eyes glaze over yet alert, as I step back into my body. i get up and examine myself=
Dormii, you poor soul. You really need help. I think I know someone who can help, aside from Jay.

=i walk out of the bunker and towards the base. i walk to Aurafell's room. i stop and knock=
May I ask some more questions? Or at least answer some more of your own?

well, i'm not sure, but i do know that they were a sort of secret police back during WWI and WWII, so a very long time. but over the years they've changed. they are no longer the pawn of politicians, now they, we, do what the leader wants or take jobs as hired assassins or information gathering, spec-ops kinda of things, that how i got my ship, or ships, both Umbrae Umbrorum are mine, ones the super-carrier and ones an assault carrier. both manned by elites who speak romanian. so I guess, sorry i got carried away there, the Black hand is around two-thousand years old.

David nods, "Interesting. Out of curiosity, who is your target?"

=To Teirtun=

It is a way of survival. To understand me you must understand my ways. Come with me.

=She opens the door and sees Diorrmy=

Hello Diorrmy.

Hello, Aurafell. Would you like to continue our conversation from earlier? Or perhaps simply answer some of your other questions?

=i see Tar-tun inside=

Hello, Tar-tun.

... Fighting?

I want to understand who you are... i geuss I'll come along.

=he gets up =

hi Dormii

=She walks out of the room with Teirtun and invites Diorrmy to follow them=

I'm teaching Teirtun the ways of my people so he can better understand why i am the way i am.

=i follow= I don't want to reopen whatever wound I opened earlier, but I am not a Kisti. I want all cultures to prosper. In no way do I want to destroy yours, or anyone's.


May I watch?
=i put my hands behind my back as my glazed eyes look ahead to where we are going=

=They head off into the forest=

Feel free.

=She hands Teirtun a spear and points to a large pig about 15 yards away=

Kill it.

=i watch and lean closer to Angel, still watching the scene= Do you still want an answer to your question? The one about you almost dying?

Why can't we just get to know each other like any other couple, with a fancy dinner!?

=he walks next to Aura=

I bet Voutan would be laughing at me right now...

=he takes the spear, staring at the animal=

that seems easy...

=he creeps up on it with the spear ready=

Its just like being a caveman...

=he pounces at it, misses landing face first into the ground=

Yep! perfectly easy!

=She laughs slightly and helps him off the ground. She takes her spear and ducks behind a bush. She points and another large pig, about 23 yards away. She Jumps up out of the bush and grabs a branch of the tree next to it. In one swift and fluid motion, she pulls herself up and uses the brach as a spring to propell herself into the air. She lands on the pig.s back as she stabs it through the head, dropping the animal almost instantly. She gets off it, takes her spear out of its head, and walks back to Teirtun=

Your turn.

=I groan, having just consumed two pints of dark-beer, feeling full=

my target is a man, an under-lord of sorts, he has.............come into some valuable information that he should have turned over to certain parties, but hasn't, i'm here to find out why, and what the info is, and then remove him. his name? i haven't a clue, but i know his face, had a picture of him, and in the ways of old memorized it and burned it. the bartender is a, ah, friendly person, so he could provide you with some uh, beer, and other beverages if you need them.

=I look over at a shady-looking patron who just entered the bar=

=i silently watch. my hands behind my back. blood flows off of me, but i give it no notice=

... i was just unlucky that time...

=he spots anther pig and creeps up on it=

You can do this Tar, you still have one more chance to impress the lady.

=this time he does a more direct approach (from behind) and jumps onto its back, stabs the spear into creature's back=

Your Bacon is mine!

=the pig begins to run around, he pulls the spear out, nearly falls of and re-stabs but through the neck=

Gotcha!

=the beast falls over=

=laughs triumphantly=

Yeah!

=She observes as he takes down the pig=

Sloppy, but it'll do for now.

=She goes over to the pig and slices open its belly. She sticks her hand inside and pulls out its heart before giving it to Teritun=

Eat that.

=She goes over to her pig and does the same. She sits on top of it and eats the heart=

=i walk over to talk= Interesting. Is this how your people mainly gets food?

=my eyes seem curious, but still glazed. blood drips off of several spots, mixing with the mud, but i pay no more attention to them then i did before=

=he stares at the heart=

Delta...

=remembers the Heart-in-a-bag that Vout gave him= (a.k.a Delta's Heart)

I CAN'T EAT THIS!

=puts it back in the boar (kinda)=

I'm sorry Aura but It's the one thing i won't do... I would but i can't...





~seriously, i wonder what happened to that bag!?
-Tar

=She looks up at him as she wipes a smear of blood from her face=

Yes it is. My people's main source of food comes from hunting. We believe that if we were ever to come up with an easier way of doing it, such as the way your people do, that we would become weak and perish.

=She looks at Teir=

Whats wrong? Squemish?

=She laughs=

You're weaker than i thought. We have much to do.

Hmm. Anything I can do to help? Or, Dormii, in a sense. This is his body after all.

=i stand ready to assist, my arms at my side and relaxed, and i stand straighter=

Listen, Aura!

=he points at her=

It's not because of that!

Earlier, a few days ago The heart of my best friend's (Voutan) Sister's (immer) killer (Delta) was thrown at me, while his Spine and skull was dragged in front of me... I have a reason to be "squimish"!

.........................I didn't mean to snap at you...

=She grins and stands up=

I've an idea...

=She looks at Teirtun deviantly=

=sees her face=

Oh god.... This better not go to far!

=i notice her grin= I feel like this will involve pain. But I stand ready. Dormii wasn't the only one he brought into his religion.

=the blood stops dripping as the wounds closed up=

=She walks up to Teirtun and cicles around him=

You're a strong-willed human, arent you? Would you consider yourself unbreakable? Or does every human have a point where they submit?

1) YES!

2) Hell yeah!

3) uhhh....... no?

If I can answer one of those, yes. Every human has a point where they will submit.

=to Tar= Honesty is your best bet here. Use it.

=She pulls something out of her satchel. When she gets behind Teirtun she wraps the collar around his neck and tightens it. Still holding on to it, she restrains his hands as well=

You'd be surprised.
Diorrmy, Punch him in the stomach as hard as you can. He needs to learn to be stronger.

David looks over as well to the shady patron, taking a sip of his Scotch and with a hushed whisper, "That your guy?"

If you answer one question of mine first, will he survive when this is all over?

=i stand ready to punch, some blood starting to flow from scars on my face. a droplet moves into my eye, but i ignore it=

Wait, What!?

Dormii have- *cough*

It's for the girl, it's for the girl,..........................she just likes to see me in pain!

=She smiles again=

Oh, dont worry. He'll survive. He just needs to learn his place...

=my glazed eyes focus on Tar-tun= Tar-tun, think of me as Unconscious Dormii. I have no regard for emotions, just pure facts. I don't like fighting, but I will if asked, or needed. Dormii has nearly lost his mind. I believe Aurafell can help. I'm sorry but my first duty is to him, even though he doesn't know me.

=i nod at Aurafell and punch Tar-Tun in the stomach. I angle the punch so the force moves between vital organs, causing almost no damage. i check my hand and see that it is bleeding again=
Dormii, you need help. I promise I will get it.

My Place!? I could easily whoop all of your asses!

I know my place!

ooph! Ow... that was unnecessary!

=still holding Teir's collar=

go on, keep doing it.

HEY What!?

She does like seeing me in pain!

As long as you agree to help Dormii. =my eyes seem to glare at her=

As long as you swear to do that, I will cooperate. He needs help, and I believe you can give it.

=i punch Tar-Tun again, angling it again=

*damn that hurt...

This is Ridiculous! I know my place!

=She lets og of the collar around his neck and grabs the one binding his hands behind him. She places her foot on his back and forces him down onto his knees while holding his arms up behind him=

Now, sit.

Oh god...

=he sits=

=She pushes him further down and forces his arms further forwards, causing extreme pain=

Now beg.

=i grab Aurafell's arm stopping her= Swear that you will help Dormii. You caused his mind to splinter, you can fix it. Do you swear to help him rebuild his mind? I will not help you if you will not help him.

=whispering=

no, but i gotta bad feeling about him....

=as i say those words the man pulls out a gun, and shouts for everybody to get down=

let me take care of this

=I move with reflexes beyond that of a human, and grab the gun, the man looks at me=

Shady-man "what the Fu........"

=I twist his hand, breaking his wrist, and forcing him to drop the gun, he slides out of my grip, he draws a knife and lunges at me, I quickly get into a fighting stance and kick the knife out of his hand, following it up immediately with a roundhouse kick to the face - knocking him to the ground, I stand 8'8'' above his body, he gets up, sliding away from my position, I follow up and plant a solid punch in his face, sending him tumbling to the ground several feet from where he stood ( it is implied that he rolled on the ground that far after being punched). he gets up, staggering, I jump forward, he jumps back, and makes a run for the door, I follow in 3 steps, and then jump and kick him out the door, into the street, where a guard sees him and arrests him on the spot.=

= i come back to david=

so, how do you like the scotch?

Damn this is on my nerves.....

Why should I Beg!? Your just in it to see me in Pain!

=She turns to Diorrmy but continues with Teir=

You have my word that i will do everything i can to get Diorrmy back to his normal self.

Your not gonna get to me......

Tar, your in a lot of pain

=i nod and let go of her arm= Then I will help you. What do I need to do now?

=i stand relaxed, but ready=

=She takes the heart again and holds it in front of his face with her free hand=

This isnt going to stop untill you eat it.

David clapped, "Very much. I'm impressed, Nikolaus. Mind if I call you Nik? Anyway, I'm a little disappointed that you didn't save any for me, though."

What's wrong with you!?

=he smells the heart=

this is really wrong...

=he goes for the heart=

here we go...

=takes a bite=
