As he entered the cave, the sight there may shock him.... In cages, lining the walls, are corpses of..children. Old, mummified corpses that fresh air hasn't touched in hundreds of years. From the look of them, they weren't students from the DWMA, but rather..some sort of failed experiments. Saeid is hunched over a desk, looking over some books. "...this...woman. I swear, if I ever find her, I will reduce her to a pound of pulp!" Saeid says, getting rather angry. Along the walls are symbols of snakes, and scorpions. Soon, one corpse in particular seems strange. Where as the other corpses were lined against the walls, this one was bound to a chair with strange ribbons, with odd markings on them. Her hair was still attached to her skeletal corpse...braided in a manner that made it look similar to a scorpion stinger. Slowly, venturing closer, Saeid seems to enter a trance, as he moves to untie the corpse from the large oak chair it seems bound to....

Eclipse gasped softly. "By all that is holy. Such unrest." He walked in and lifted his hands, as if holding he hands of many children, ghosts who came up to him. He seemed to look around at them, distracted as he looked them over while Saeid got close to the dead girl in the chair.

"Snakes and scorpions. These are the symbols of their captors. 'Witches,' they are telling me. Saeid? Saeid??" Eclipse turned around to see the man entranced, but it was too late, he had already pulled off the ribbons.

"......I feel loss far different than most people. I don't age...if I loose them, I won't see them again for a very long..long time....and even then, so many people seek to send them into oblivion...." Drac says, gripping his tome's sides so tightly, the leather covering stretches in his grip. "....What do you wish to talk about, if you bring that up first thing..?" He asks, growing rather..serious.

@supertinyking

"I don't know... I came here to talk about... Well, how far is too far to go to protect one's loved ones, Drac. You killed a girl. Yes, she may have been headed down a dark road, but that dark road is always there. Someone is always going to wind up on it, but they still have the chance to get off, and to possibly avoid that road altogether. And why would you think she was going to come after your family anyway? Was there no other, reasonable way to go about it?"

Eclipse's words must of interacted with the stone strangely, for it busts, and cracks, revealing a passage. Though this passage, a blast of old, decay carrying air rushed forth, making Saeid gag, and cough. "It smells like someone died down there..." Saeid says, and by all rights, someone may of. Saeid takes his hood off, using it as an air filter, revealing he had rather nice looking black hair, curly, short, but full of volume. Saeid soldiered into this hole first, and he found a light switch. "..Eclipse. If you come down here, just a warning. It isn't pretty..." Saeid says.

@supertinyking

The angel smacked his forehead as Saeid tottered off into the cave of evil. "Ah! Human! Didn't I just tell you there was evil down there?? Ugh." Eclipse followed him, keeping his guard up. He sniffed and wrinkled his nose. "Oh this is quite potent. Surely some corpse needs proper burial..."

Mithias takes a seat in the kitchen with solemn expression. "Please don't trouble yourself. I can find a mug and such, I am sure. The last thing I want to be is a burden to you right now." He forced a smile at the girl. "I assume you, I am fine. You should rest rather than fuss over an unexpected guest."

After Lisa left, Mithias looked to Drac. "I would like to see Bug, eventually, but I certainly wouldn't take him from his family. In fact, if there is anything I can do for you, please ask me." He tapped a few fingers on his mug. "You know I find myself forgetting what it is to feel pain and to fear death. Loss is something I can still feel, but how can I know how another person feels it?" It was a good start to a hard conversation.

Eclipse traversed the desert alongside Saeid. Together, they tried to talk of normal things, just casual conversation. The sun always shone and the birds sang in the trees wherever the winged paladin went. Just as they came upon the strange, lone stone. Eclipse's brow furrowed. "Wait a moment, Saeid. I can feel the vile taint of evil in that stone... malice. Let me investigate it first before you touch it." Cautiously, he got closer, beginning to whisper words of prayer as he raised his hand.

The vampire blinked his golden eyes, not having expected the girl to answer. "Yes, that's me. Lisa is it? Thank you for inviting me in. Are you alright?" He looked around and saw Eurka and Drac. It seemed Bug was nowhere to be found. It was kind of difficult broaching the subject at hand with Drac while his injured and possibly dying family were around him. Mithias couldn't find his tongue. Part of him began to regret that he himself was practically invincible and probably couldn't die. "Drac..." He started.

Mithias knocked on the door. ... The undead ghosts and fiends and whatnot Drac had guarding his house didn't bother Mithias much. They had seen him before. He folded his arms and tapped his foot. When was someone going to answer the door?

"Hmmm yes. I was too late to save him. May he rest in heaven. But, I would come with you, for a while. You seem to attract a lot of attention, and I want you to have your chance." Eclipse got up and glanced up at the sunlight.

Heavens Fall

I'm debating on joining. I just want to know kind of... what are these gods doing? I guess I could just make stuff happen. Are we playing our gods or their champions mostly?

Eclipse smiled in a parental fashion as he ran his hands over the broken arms. He looked at Saeid's marked face and blinked slowly, white arches framed behind him. Just being around the angel eased sorrow and pain. "Because I see sincerity, innocence, and true spirit. You must believe in yourself, and have faith in the future that you yearn for."
