Abaddon began walking towards Lass like a hunting predator, claws scraping along the ground. 

"But will you be willing to embrace what I teach you? You are guilty of shedding innocent blood for no other reason than mere entertainment. We know this. Give us a reason why we shouldn't eviscerate you..."

The time for combative gauging had begun. Abaddon lashed out to tendrils towards Lass. They weren't meant to cause any serious harm, but they would hurt if they made their mark. Abaddon began to prepare for a counterattack, something he was eager to do. It had been long since he had fought against an umbramancer, nearly two years since he had killed the umbra and photokinetic heroine. Abaddon had learned much during that battle, and he had learned how to use his tendrils and symbiote to combat against shadows and light to the point where he rarely needed to use his forbidden abilities to aid himself.
