"Hi, I don't think I've met you all yet." Noticing the tablet dropped at his feet, he dropped to his knees and reached out a hand to the dragon. "I'm Sam, what's your name?"

Boreas shrugged and, seeing there was no reason to stay in his current position, decided to move over to where his partner and friends had headed. He had expected Vareth to write on the tablet with his claw, but he decided it would be no harm. He stood off to the side of the group, close enough to converse if desired, which was occasional to the most generous of hearts, but far enough away that he could observe the entire scene.

Vareth erased the whiteboard with a sweep of his wing, cheeped, and took the marker back up in his mouth. VARETH he wrote carefully on the board, and nudged it around to Sam again. He then pointed his nose at the tiny fairy Vareth assumed was the newcomer's companion and cocked his head in silent question.

Sam nodded toward the tiny fairy, "He's Selvain, watch out for him he's kind of a trouble maker." Sam stood up... and immediately fell when he tried to take a step.

"Hahaha! You need to be more careful!" Sel was almost crying from laughing so hard.

"You little! I'll get you for that!" Sam untied his shoelaces and flicked his companion on the head affectionately.

Vareth let out an indignant snort at such behavior, though considering his small stature it might almost be comical.

Near Carosso, there was a disturbance in the crowd. People moved aside, startled. In the area vacated by them was absolutely nothing, though nobody present had any way of knowing that.

The nothing drew everyone's attention, and a silence fell over the assembly. All the humans and non-powered companions saw an entity of pure light, looking like a non-distinct blend of a dozen different types of feline and canine, completely featureless but for an outline that seemed both more real than reality and nonexistent, and the blinding white light that filled this outline in. Companions with abilities would see a similar outline, but filled in with something related to them; Boreas and Autie would see a creature of pure ice, an outline that spontaneously created snow to fall to its feet. Selvain and Aurora would see a wolf-like creature comprised of thousands of intricate crystals interacting with each other in dynamic forms.  *

Carosso saw similar, but instead of a being of pure light, it was of infinite darkness. He strained to look at it harder. In return, it robbed him of his sight.

The creature came to a stop in front of him, and the crowd around the two managed to push themselves back, leaving a large cleared circle. On one end stood Carosso, panicking. On the otehr end stood this serene creature. Though nobody (except maybe Seersora) would be able to see any eyes, everyone somehow knew the creature was gazing at Carosso intently.

From the entity's head, a glowing circle was projected. It formed into a glowing rune, similar to the rune of λέγω but arranged in patterns of five instead of four. The being spoke into the minds of all present, but there was no doubt who it was referring to. You do not belong. You are outside your part. You faced your destined opponent but the match did not go as ordained. This will be made right. The creature stepped forward, making circular gestures on the ground with it's paw. It formed the shape of the rune of λέγω, through which the Collective then spoke to Carosso alone.

We meet again, sooner than expected... Outside such a frivolous setting... we do not have to hold back...

The mental onslaught was a thousandfold more intense than before, but Arc's response was immediate and sure. Barriers were erected as fast as they fell, a complex mental game of chess between two brilliant opponents. The unseen mental conflict was so powerful as to force it's way into physical reality, every once and awhile an arc of light would lash out from the glowing rune on the ground, and disperse against a surface in front of Carosso only visible as a rainbow sheen hanging in the air.

The creature of light observed, content.

Again, the Collective neglected Carosso's physical drive. Enraged, the man again unholstered his pistols and shot at both the rune on the ground, and the entity that put it there. He could no longer see, but Arc guided his hands, doing the aiming while the man pulled the triggers over and over again, determined to again put an end to the mental madness. The shots that were directed at the rune on the ground all hit, but buried themselves into the concrete floor with no effect. The bullets that flew at the creature were all stopped in front of it by a wall of invisible force.

The entity looked at these silly lead slugs with mild amusement. What were these minuscule gifts to it for? The slugs re-arranged themselves into a perfectly arranged four-by-five grid, the leftovers clattering to the floor. The creature cocked it's head, and the bullets vanished, ceasing to exist.

Arc was fighting a losing battle. The Collective didn't seek to destroy, as Arc had been defending against, but instead performing mental maneuvering for a quite different goal. With what would be a smirk if it was displayed on a human's face, the Collective lashed out again, victory within sight. Arc's mind was severed from Carosso's Disembodied, Arc's mind frantically thrashed, but without attachment to a physical body lost strength quickly. It succumbed, surrendered, and was absorbed into the Collective.

The moment this happened the creature swiped a paw over the rune on the ground, and it vanished. Again it spoke to all, directed at Carosso. The Myrmidon will deal with your abhorrent form. It turned as if to leave, but stopped. There was something, someone, here. Someone it knew from it's own future, someone it had planned to watch closely. The creature turned to stare at Red.

Slowly at first, but eventually with confidence, the creature moved over to the girl. Its face was mere inches from her's, and if it had eyes, they would seem to be boring into Red's mind. A feeling of peace fell over those who were watching the exchange, which was safe to say just about everyone present. Peace and supreme contentment, like they had found something they had been searching for a long while.

So there you are. I have been looking for you. I cannot speak now, but we will meet again. Remember my name. The creature touched its nose to Red's Characters formed in Red's mind, and unlike before, they were in Red's mind alone. μοῖρα. It then looked to Mari and nodded approvingly, it's mind apparently back to transmit. Take good care of her.

The creature then vanished in a flash of light that somehow managed to be, individually, every color at once.

Red stood there for a moment. She had little to no idea of what had just happened, but... it certainly hadn't felt bad. Just... odd. The little girl fell back, rubbing her eyes and shaking her head in confusion. "I-I... umm... what?"

Mari quickly knelt down next to her companion, hugging her. Red quickly turned and hugged Mari back. "Red, what did it do? What happened? It told me to take care of you..."

Red smiled. "I'm fine, Mari! It was kinda weird, but I'm fine! It didn't do anything bad at all."

Zach and Esmerel stared blankly at the space where the thing had left. "What. The hell. Just happened." While Zach was still gazing dumbfounded, Esmerel turned to Red. "Are you okay?"


A part of the air near Carrasso seemed to shimmer. The veil parted as the Myrmidon made itself visible. Words pounded themselves into the man's mind.    UNCLEAN. YOU WILL BE PURGED. UNCLEAN. YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED. BY THE WILL OF THE QUEEN.    Carrosso drew his guns and fired at the thing, the slugs bouncing harmlessly off of the creature's form.

The Myrmidon extended a hand. A whiplike cord of bloody muscle wormed out of its wrist and wrapped itself around Carrosso's throat. He was lifted into the air by the creature, kicking and struggling, unable to scream. The Myrmidon's clawed hand lunged at him, ripping his heart out with a sickening wet ripping noise. Carrosso was dropped to the ground, dead.

The Myrmidon turned to the group, giving them a long, intense gaze before veiling itself yet again.


"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!" Zach pointed at Carrasso's bloody corpse. "Did you see that?!" Esmerel shuddered. "The Myrmidon."

"I'm oka-" Red stared for a moment, simply watching the Myrmidon in shock. "Wh-what? That... that thing again! And... it killed him!"

Mari was horrified by the sight before her, the bloody corpse of the man. She grabbed Red and clung to her like a security blanket, scooting back a little.

I should have known Bindlestick would drop me from the game simply because of the disagreement in that other RP's sign up forum. I am going to call a Mod over here. I believe this is called malicious bullying. Definitely against the rules, given that you are picking on me for my play style.

Autie zoomed back to George and wrapped herslef around his head. George himself stared dumbstuck at what had just occured.

"The - the - What the hell was that?" he whispered.

"Don't know, don't want to see it again."

Zach cradled his head in his hands. "Holy shit. What was that... that thing?" Esmerel answered in a flat monotone. "Myrmidon." Several men in blue janitor's outfit's began to clean up the mess, scrubbing the blood off of the walls and floor and moving the body out of the tunnel.

Mari continued to cling to Red, shuddering and silent. She buried her face in her companions hair, letting out a muted cry of horror.

"M-Mari?" Red asked. "Are you okay?"

Boreas stared at the body, with the most emotional look he had given all day: a look of slight fear, that was obvious to most of the slightly more perceptive people who might have glanced at him. He moved, slowly, deliberately towards Jeek, ending up beside the boy. "What do you make of it?"

Ryan was freaking out. "What the heck was that?! A weird lighted being shows up, takes over a guy in some kind of mind hockey, eats him from the inside out, and we're all just standing around? The people who run this place aren't going to do something!?"

"On the contrary Mr. Ghiccio, we do." A smooth, oily voice spoke up from behind Ryan. If he were to turn, he would see a tall pale, thin man dressed in a spotless black suit, sharply in contrast with their fetid surroundings. "We fully intend to find whoever entered in that... creature," He almost sounded disgusted as he said that. "And deal with them as needed. I trust you won't tell anyone about this?"

Ryan turned around, mellowed out considerably. "Who would I tell? These other witnesses? Other people down here who'd think I was a junkie? I'm certainly not telling anyone up there who would bust me."

It's spelled Ghiaccio, by the by.

Vareth and Jeek's attention snapped to the strange creature when it appeared, and they were left awestruck by the brief mental battle that took place. They did not know what exactly had happened, or even that it had finished until the creature wiped the rune off the floor. The only clues they had were the words they heard in their minds.

For once, Vareth did not seem to mind the mental intrusion. In fact, it seemed to have his approval. He welcomed it.

Then it approached their group, moving to the companion in red and touching noses. Jeek thought of moving to interfere, but even if she didn't feel incapable of movement, at the very thought of it she felt Vareth clamp down on her mind. Hard. In fact, it was the worst she ever felt her companion do to her, and that is something dire indeed considering the activities in her past that had drawn his disdain.

Then it was gone.

Jeek turned to Vareth, startled. Not even bothering with the mental connection, she spoke aloud, "Why did you do that?"

As each companion saw something related to their powers, Vareth got some interesting insight. He saw the creature as a being of light, like the humans did, but it was not bright or blinding. He saw it in color spectrum of the emotions that flowed between the mind of him and his Bonded, and he knew what every individual color meant.

And even though this was the very first time in his life he saw that specific color that featured foremost among the ones the creature had thrown off, he still knew exactly what it meant.

You are never to do anything against that creature, or allow it to come to harm.

Jeek was stunned. "Did you see what it did to that guy? I mean..."

Did we not agree we would eventually do the same thing?

"Well yeah, but that's different! It just waltzed in here and sicced that monstrosity on him after messing about with Red!" Jeek's voice was approaching what could actually be described as loud.

It did not harm her. A fact, not a good guess or observation. I cannot describe to you what I saw, and if I send you a simple image you would not understand. That creature is to be trusted with every fiber you can muster. Trust it as you trust me. If not moreso.

Jeek was silent. It was a lot to ask of her, especially with the gravity Vareth colored his tone with. Finally she turned to Boreas, to answer his question. "I don't know. I don't have a single clue, but this flying fuck over here," she gestured to Vareth, "insists we let it do it's thing. The glowing cat-wolf at least." She looked to Vareth again. "He was remarkably silent on whatever had followed it here.

"I disagree," Boreas said to Vareth. There was no tone of disrespect, nor of disgust, nor of any sort of confrontation. "He killed. He must not be allowed to continue," He continued. It was longer than most of what he had said that day, for sure. "Even if he killed a bad man, it matters not." He crossed his arms again, comfortable in his new placement.

Ryan turned from the man to join the new conversation, "Wait, what? I have to agree with Boreas. A killer is the worst form of bully! Er, I mean... It's wrong, and it doesn't matter who it was done to or why it was done."

"Hey, Mari, I'm fine, you're okay, it's all okay," Red said, hugging her bonded human. Mari was still tightly holding her small companion, shielding her eyes from the grisely cleanup of the corpse.

Red frowned slightly. The little girl looked supremely concerned for her bonded.
