[h2][color=0072bc]Edoric[/color][/h2] A smile cracked on to the unstable Drakken's face. He got up slowly and trotted around the room like a regal general before his men and hummed a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDQ7hXMLxGc]tune[/url]. It was some tune he heard from a philosopher from some time ago. He didn't know his name but he knew that he had good food and an easy kill for some more influence on his end. Chuckling as he made his way behind the two Gemmites, sensing tinges of fear and nervous from them in the tiniest amounts, the leaned down and picked up the remains of the collars, [color=0072bc]"So this is how you treat my precious gift to you. Throw them away and forget them."[/color] In a sudden, violent outburst, both his hands shot out as fast as thunder at the womens' face, clutching them with a tight grip, using his magic to steal the air out of their lungs just enough so they would drop their daggers, [color=0072bc]"Shame, I paid good money for those decorations. But don't worry, I'll give you two a gift you won't be forget for a [i]very, very long time.[/i]"[/color] Edoric's voice grew a nasty, psychotic edge towards the end of his words, soon signaling a small detachment of his own men who had been used as temporary guards for the Reaping. With strong, gruff arms, they picked up the smaller girls with ease and pinned them to the floor. A simple snap from their commander and they tore off the backs of the girls' dresses, revealing their pretty backs to Edoric who was now walking around them, looking down at them with the daggers he present to them in hand. [color=0072bc]"I know that all Drakkens have methods of- hmm? What is this? Are those weapons you are concealing?"[/color] Edoric began but took note of the knife that was originally hidden behind one the girl's neck, [color=0072bc]"I'm afraid that will be no good love, its dangerous for novices to be playing around with sharp objects. Strip her."[/color] With a nod, Edoric's men ripped off the rest of the girl's dress, revealing several more daggers hidden underneath her dress (or what little is left). Plucking away the knives, he waved them around a little before throwing them aside which another guard picked up, [color=0054a6]"Well then, I guess you'll be the first one then. If you don't squirm too much I'll consider giving you some clothes to walk out of here with."[/color] Leaning down, he pressed the tip of her former dagger just deep enough into her to draw a trickle of blood, [color=0072bc]"Don't move, you might hurt yourself."[/color] With her screams of pain echoing the the room, Edoric carved his family seal on to her exposed back (albeit it a simplified version) before poking out the letters "EN" at the bottom of it. By the time he was done, it seemed like that the poor thing had been whipped by an especially evil torturer, not that Edoric had a lack of experience in that role. Pressing his thumb against the fresh cuts until he had a suitable amount of blood on his fingers, he smeared his thumb onto the hilt of the dagger and threw it into the ground next to her head. [color=0072bc]"That is the first one done, I should have been an artist, don't you think boys?" [/color]Edoric turned to his men who returned a chuckled as their commander squatted down over the second girl and smiled, [color=0072bc]"I forgot to introduce you to these kind gentlemen. They are my unit, my Black Orchestra. We create beautiful music of death in war, but we enjoy other music. Like the "music" your friend just gave us."[/color] Edoric paused as he twirled the second knife in his bloodied hand and his men tightened their grips, [color=0072bc]"So, please allow us to indulging in your own cries of pain. Don't worry, soon you won't feel a thing. You might even enjoy it."[/color] The psychotic Drakken once again allowed the dagger to dance along the second girl's back, slicing out a new seal with the initials "EN" at the bottom. Edoric once again pressed a clean thumb against the fresh wounds, indulging the the cries of pain before smearing more blood on the second dagger, landing it next to her ear. As he washed his hands in a basin, he gave another whistle and his men propped both of the girls up and held them in midair. Wether by their own wish or some hidden order, one of the other guards came over and ripped off the second girl's dress, allowing both Edoric and his men to revel in the sight of two perfect Gems. It was only fair that they both were nude if one already was, wasn't it? Slowly walking over to the two hanging beauties, he gave a gentle, mocking clap, congratulating the two on making it this far. He circled them several times, looking into their eyes and smiling. This was no where as cruel as what his older brother did to his third wife, but Edoric still enjoyed it thoroughly. Out of no where, a fist was planted in both the girl's stomachs in quick succession, the source was Edoric himself no doubt as he fastened new collars to their necks brought out by another guard. [color=0072bc]"I guess I've forgotten the most important part of this whole shebang, your names. Silly me! I must have forgot from all the fun I was having!"[/color], lowering himself to their eye levels, he smiled into both of their pained faces, [color=0072bc]"If you've wondering what about the game, don't worry, this is only level one."[/color]
