Rounding the corner, he saw that both Zenovia's and Storyteller's magic were a success, binding the creature onto the ground. Approaching the [i]thing[/i], Xen raised his staff up. It resembled only a walking stick, but suddenly flakes of it began to wither, falling away. What it revealed was a stunning magical staff. The shaft was made from dark mahogany and traces of obsidian running the length of it. The end that pointed toward the creature gave way to a spade-like compartment that held something within. This energy, gray and black, toiled and turned seemingly pulling in the very matter around it into its center. [color=silver]"What is your purpose here?"[/color] Xen's tone was even but threatening. A watchman ran around the corner to the door but stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixated on the beast they had caught. [color=silver]"Get some able bodies, guard. Send a runner for Lord Sadron."[/color] The guard was still transfixed but quickly snapped out of it, shaking his head to seemingly rid his mind from what had just happened. [color=lightgreen]"Of course, sir!"[/color] The guard ran off as Xen moved closer to Vert, kneeling beside her. He then placed his hand above her head, about six inches away. What seemed like thin tendrils extended from his finger tips, caressing her head and face. Almost invisible, they gave off a subtle blueish hue as they licked across her flesh, begging to be let in. They wanted to pierce into Vert's mind. They wanted to leech every thought and memory the being had. Xen leaned forward and let out a whisper into Vert's ear, [color=silver]"Tell me everything... Who sent you? And do not think to test me, lest I rend the thoughts from your mind myself. I will leave you a husk of your former self... an invalid."[/color] He pulled the tendrils back and closed his hand into a fist, eliminating the magic for now. Xen stood, giving the guards who just arrived some room to pick her up.
