| Background from Where the Love Lies Dead |
| She jerked to her right to hear the slapping of feet as Jack raced away. "I hope you like the cold" shouted Rache as if swearing. She snarled as she clapped her hands together and then slowly spread them apart. In the center of her two hands there floated a light blue sphere, suddenly there began a low whistling sound. Her dark brown hair which reached her tail bone, began to rise and bristle. Her eye's squinted in concentration, the sphere began to cloud over and so did the sky above. As the sphere became darker so did the clouds above the arena, Rache cried out as she shot the sphere into the air. "Ah, I remember this. She chopped a voodoo priest hand off to get the blood from him. Then the ability she received was to control weather. And now if I'm not sure she's going to make it snow" said Redseer, Ice just growled for he had just received his slave only a month ago. Suddenly the temperature began to drop rapidly, it went from 78 degrees Fahrenheit to 25 degrees in a few minutes. "Ah, my love stop. It's too cold" shouted Jack from somewhere in the distance. "Not yet" whispered Rache as the wind began to blow and little white flakes began to fall from the sky. Rache sneered as the snow began to fall harder and soon the whole ground was covered in the snow, Rache clapped her hands together ending the storm. It quickly faded away, leaving only the snow to show that it was real. "I'm coming Jack, and there's nothing you can do to stop me" cried Rache as she yanked out an arrow and notched it in Seeker. The arrow hummed purple as if sensing it's duty, Rache pulled back the arrow and then let it fly. The arrow whizzed through the air, it made a sharp left then another aiming right toward Rache. Right before it was about to hit her, she dodged right and rolled in the snow before she got to her feet and jerked her body around just in time to see the arrow embed itself into an invisible body. Rache's eyes widened in delight, she smelled blood. She let out a blood curling cry as taloned feet burst from her boots now making them useless. She kicked away the shreds and took several steps into the snow, her three-toed feet left strange footprints in the snow. She sneered before she dashed through the snow following the scent of the blood, she pounced and crashed into something solid taking it down. She felt Jack's hands trying to thrust her away, but suddenly he felt a burning sensation. Rache had yanked out the arrow and was now running her hand in his flowing blood. Rache then leapt off and bounded away, she then knelt down and watched as the blood on her hand seep into her body. Her head then tilted back and her eyes went white, she gasped quick breaths as the new information flowed through her blood. "You lie, you only have the power of invisibility" cried Rache as she jerked Seeker up, instead of notching an arrow in it. The bow seemed to melt and flow together forming the shape of a spear, it had a large blade at the tip and a counter-balance at the other end. Throughout the body of the spear was metal and wood mixed together, and at the center was a diamond the size of a fist. Rache then aimed the spear downward, the diamond at the center then faded into a light purple. She then turned toward her left and the diamond darkened in color till Rache had turned 90 degrees. She then grinned and launched the spear into the air, she then uttered a swear so vile the word burned her lips. For the Kiros, Ice had leapt into the arena and knocked away the spear. "I quit, this fight is no more" shouted Ice as he bent down to pick up the shaken Jack, he growled before he bounded away and leapt over the arena walls to disgrace and dishonor for his interrupting a fight the way he did. Rache growled as he held out her arm and Seeker returned to her, it melted again and flowed back into a bow which Rache swung across her chest. Suddenly several glowing lights floated above Rache before they disappeared, she had received a win. She turned as she heard a rusty creak, the gates had opened and she was free to leave. As she entered the tunnel there stood Redseer waiting for her. "So what the hell was that all about?" asked Rache as she climbed up the outstretched arm and rested atop Redseer's shoulder. "I'm not sure, but now Ice will be shunned for what he did at the match. I feel disgraced to know that he was once my half-brother" replied Redseer as they left the tunnel. Suddenly Ice leapt in front of the two hold out a claw which seemed to be wrapped around Jack. "Get out of my way filth" hissed Redseer as he snarled and bared his needle sharp teeth. "Wait, brother-" "Never call me that" roared as he backhanded Ice who cried out and took several steps back. "I'm sorry, but please listen to me" whined Ice as Redseer growled but stayed quiet. "I propose that I pay you in wins for our two fighters to mate" added Ice as he brought himself up only to be answered by an arrow in the eye. "I would never let your thing even near my fighter, and if you ever ask me a question like that again I will break your other horn and have you banished from the kingdom of Savest. Now get out of my sight before I change my mind and ban you now" hissed Redseer as Ice broke down to all fours and raced away. "Where's Jack, he was holding him and now he's on all fours. But where did Jack go?" thought Rache as Redseer began to make his way home to the palace Savest. |
