[h3]Darkness Creeps In: The Shadows of Voodoo[/h3]

"[color=7bcdc8]What's wrong, Scheherazade?  Couldn't do it on your own?  As expendable as we are you should be the first in line to stop the Pageless[/color]," Yuri said.

Yuri's voice was present before his form was but in a swirl of what looked to be dark smoke, Yuri appeared his staff in his hand.  His aura felt different if anyone took notice, and his eyes held a sense of danger to them they once did not.  Black butterflies fluttered around him like bees to their queen.  Yuri shot a dark glare in Scheherazade's direction and simply smirked.  Kanata and Yuzu were already present, but in his mind, he just wanted to find the leader and get rid of them.  His attention fell on what looked to be the leader of the Pageless this time around.  They always changed, always different, and always a sight that would repulse any normal human.

"[color=7bcdc8]Don't worry, we will do your dirty work for you.[/color]"

Yuri looked to Kanata and Yuzu before speaking again.

"[color=7bcdc8]You waste time talking, do what needs to be done[/color]."

Yuri dashed forward, moving like a ninja towards his target.  Pageless minions would get in his way, but with his agility, he was able to maneuver around them until he came to the leader who was surrounded by minions.

"[color=7bcdc8]What's the rush[/color]?" Yuri said as he cracked his neck before tightening his grip on his staff.  Yuri slammed the staff into the ground.  "[color=7bcdc8]Aren't you tired of taking orders?  Tired of getting in the way?  Come, I shall give you rest.[/color]"

The staff's crystals darkened, nearly pitch black and from the staff, numerous black butterflies fluttered forth, but they didn't destroy anything.  The pageless tried to swat them away, but when one was destroyed, another took its place and once the butterfly landed on a pageless, they seemed to freeze in place before suddenly twisting and contorting as if in agony, and suddenly they all began turning towards the Pageless Leader.

"[color=7bcdc8]Drink with me[/color]," Yuri said, his voice deceivingly melodic as he sliced his hand, blood pooling in his palm before dripping on the staff.  This amplified the control he had on the pageless minions who started to march, claws extended, towards their old leader.  A few of the black butterflies accidentally landed on nearby humans whose souls had already been snatched by the pageless and they too twisted and contorted like zombies rising from the dead taking steps towards the target.  Yuri's attention was on the Pageless Leader and he wasn't paying attention to the humans he'd ensnared.
