[color=red]"WE SEE TRUE NATURE..."[/color] The knight took a rigid step forward, slow and deliberate without taking its eyes off the masked woman. [color=red]"YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM IT..."[/color] It continued to lumber forward slowly as though the creature was stalking prey. [color=red]"MASKS WILL NOT SAVE YOU."[/color] In the blink of an eye though, Mai appeared in front of the knight, her silver eyes glaring like red hot daggers. She drew her massive blade and pointed it straight at the knight, ready to cleave him in two with one fell swing. "The mask might not. I however can, and will." She said, her normally soft voice was threatening. "Choose your next move wisely, or your head will be another trophy for My Lady's new empire." The Witch motioned for Mai to stand down. [color=violet]"I recall you promising to wait for my instruction."[/color] Almost instantly Mai sheathed her blade and stood beside her Lady again, "I apologize Mistress. I however won't stand to have one insult you in such a matter. Forgive me though for my foolishness." She bowed before her lady before resuming her stance beside her. However, she was still on guard, ready to act on a moments notice. The Witch patted her on the back and moved to stand in front of Jared. She touched her fingers to the edges of the mask, waited for its latches to disconnect, and removed it. Her silver hair flowed freely down her shoulders, and her moist, scarlet lips parted slightly into a half-smile. [color=violet]"I am not hiding, mister knight. Look upon my face and remember it. My body is the trophy of my victory over the darkness, and I would be remiss if I did not share it with another. Do you like what you see?"[/color] [color=808080][i]'I do, that's for sure.'[/i][/color] Jared thought as he watched all this unfold like he were spectating. The revenant, however, had none of it. As it was a creature of the Void, it had little interest in women. [color=red]"SEE LIES,"[/color] said the revenant. [color=red]"SEE A VOID."[/color] [color=violet]"Tch."[/color] The Witch replaced her mask and folded her arms. [color=violet]"It seems I haven't communicated clearly enough, as that fine gentleman suggested earlier. I ate your kind to become the creature I am now. I feasted on its soul, devouring it drop by drop over three hundred years until its spirit became mine. Do you understand? You are food. Nothing. Void. And to the void you shall return if my Baneblade find your neck. Count yourself lucky, creature, that you have found a human host, for I have no wish to cut down the living with the dead. See no harm comes to him, for in the day you consume his flesh, your soul is mine for the taking."[/color] With that, she turned on her heels and walked away. Jared watched until she vanished inside the tower before returning to join the others.
