They made short work of the mutilated troll by literally eating it alive. He had admittedly been a bit disturbed witnessing the Rat King consuming raw flesh before his very eyes, or lack of eyes. He still didn't have a head after having it pulverized by the troll. He could still hear and see, but his body was sluggish due to reinforcing it to survive the troll trying to reduce him to gravel. He had made his body super dense to take the blows, but the added weight cost him greatly in movement speed. He was slowly undoing this change and had a small reprieve to appreciate the battle raging around him. The new girl, Kakra, had proven quite capable in combat finishing off the first troll with a well-placed fireball into the crater of once was a troll's face and burning away its brain. It seemed her anger had almost been as great as his own as she closed in on the final helpless troll. The creature could not escape a brutal series of blows to its head each punctuating the girl's frustrations before finally showing it mercy with another ball of fire. The battle was over and they had been overwhelmingly victorious. Ivan at this point had managed to sculpt himself a new head from the leftovers of the concrete bench, but he had yet to refine the sculpture. He still needed to re-fabricate his voice box and reform his lungs if he wanted to speak. It was as the young boy Alexei began lecturing people that Ivan noticed a grave detail. His hoe was still glowing that sickly red color. As he got to his feet he approached Kakra and found a noticeable increase in the hoe's brightness and vibration. His features darkened at this revelation his eyes wearing an intense expression. A light in the distance had slowly been growing, but Ivan did not care he had more important things to focus on. He still could not speak so he stepped in front of Kakra, casting a long shadow across her features. He stretched out his long arm and pointed at her then he pointed at the head of the glowing hoe, then back at her. He could just feel the organs working into place as he stood there hoping she would understand his unspoken declaration, but to assure no misunderstanding could be had. As he finished forming his lungs he spoke slow and with a sharp edge to his voice. [color=7ea7d8]"You witch. I know dis now."[/color] He slowly brandishes his hoe a gleam in his eye. Then with the light in the distance almost as blinding as the sunrise, he declared in front of everyone, [color=0072bc]"Release your curse on me and my family witch! or I will kill you!"[/color]
