From the dead woman's words' end came a rather childish snicker. "Oh please, always with that 'intro'... Hey girly, look over 'ere..." The boy, or not boy, that spoke stood behind the girl smiled. He was young-looking, the body of someone only barely 14. He bared his teeth, long and sharp, chuckling. Many knew of his kind in the mortal world by now, a vampire. But he was not like them. His face did not match his body, his nose almost gone, his ears pointed and large, his face wrinkled and ugly, his lips non-existent. Monstrous face was his, one of nightmares. His eyes were a coal black. He sat up into a crawling position and stretched, his skin not affected by the sun as it would have been in the mortal world.

The childlike laughter of the young lad broke Arjuna's attention away from the weeping woman and focused it towards him. As it would seem, this mortal child was also a bit...no honestly he was indeed malformed, eyes as black as the very clouds that hung over this downtrodden world that played home to wretched, damned souls. His skin was also a rather inhuman shade, about the same as the woman's, but what caught Arjuna's attention the most was the boy's teeth, sharp, fiendish daggers of ivory that hung dripping with saliva from his wrinkled lips, not to mention the sickening way the....creature contorted his body and that snicker of ill glee that sent a slight chill through her hardened bones. Hastily Arjuna stood from her kneeling position, a glint of fire in her narrowing eyes, an intimidating glare towards the little hellion as she reached behind her back, but what be this? Her....her sword? Where was her sword? [i]"Thy blade has been taken, fair knight."[/i] Silently the woman revealed to Arjuna a rather obvious truth, a truth that further irritated the Warmaiden, clenching tight her armored fist, as if that would be her weapon to silence this demonic brat. [i]"Where thy blade lies, I do not know, for it was taken by the very thing that hath taken my eyes. And you."[/i] The woman's attention soon turned as well to the impish creature. [i]"Why dost thou continue to mock and belittle these unfortunate souls? Have they not suffered enough as we have? Look at you, just as I, even your humanity fades, child. And with it, so has your compassion."[/i] Lack of compassion indeed, yet such was to be expected in a place such as this. Souls sent here were not meant compassion in the least.
