| Background from Where the Love Lies Dead |
| The days passing, Redseer thought about Ice's proposal. He began to think more and more about mating his female and since she was a good fighter, he would have to find someone who would pay big for her. The sum would have to be high since there was no fighter on Gilana that came close to her skill. During an intense training session Redseer slipped away to spread the news of his breeding Rache, near the end of the training he quickly returned and acted as if he never left. Rache suspected that something had happened but stayed silent, she wasn't in the mood for a zapping. "Jack's following me. I know it. I can sense the wound that I left on him" thought Rache as her eyes shifted slowly. *** Later that night when the two moons rose high into the night sky, Rache was out for a midnight swim in the private waterfall that Redseer kept behind the palace. Rache breathed in deep as she took a running leap off of the top of the waterfall and spun her body around and around before she gracefully dove into the water. She almost nicked the bottom of the lake that the fall drained into, she rebounded off the bottom and took a deep breath when she broke the surface. "Nice dive my pet" cried a voice from the branches of a surrounding tree. Rache growled as she reached into a leather harness around her calf above the spiked anklet, she then yanked out a dagger and hurled it in the direction of the voice. "Careful my love, you almost hit me with that" said Jack as he tossed the dagger harmlessly into the lake, Rache hissed as she dove into the water to retrieve Seeker in dagger form. She quickly sheathed it then rose to the surface once again, she looked at the trunk of the tree and there stood a floating cloak; yet there was no wind. "What are you doing here?" hissed Rache as she stalked out of the water and onto the bank, her plate armor glistened in the moonlight. "What kind of person wheres armor during a swimming session" said Jack as the cloak left the tree and approached Rache but stopped ten feet away. "The kind that is strong enough to wear it" replied Rache as she crossed her arms. "Ah well-" "What do you want" "Well I came because of that ad your master put out" answered Jack. "First he is not my master and second what ad?" hissed Rache as she reached into her boot and yanked out her .22 revolver and aimed it the floating cloak, she then cocked it to show that she was serious. "Whoa, haven't seen one of those here" started Jack but Rache fired a warning shot and he continued. "Well a while ago your trainer left your session and went to the market. He wrote on the ad rock that he was willing to sell you as a mate to someone" replied Jack as Rache snarled in anger. "Guess you didn't know". "For telling me this, I will let you live and get you returned to Earth" hissed Rache as she put the saftey on the .22 and slipped it into her boot before she yanked out Seeker still in dagger form. She then knelt down and held the dagger over her shoulder, it then melded into a Rocket Launcher. "Wait my love, you just said you were going to let me live" shouted Jack as the cloak floated backward. "This isn't for you" shouted Rache, then quietly "This is for Redseer." Feeling like he was unwanted Jack quietly slipped away. Rache stood up and slung the launcher over one shoulder as she walked up the stone path that lead up the Palace Savest. As she entered the gate she noticed that the guards were missing. "Probably off gambling" thought Rache as she entered the palace. Instead of turning into Redseer's wing, she turned to her left to Ice's wing. She stopped in front of the door that opened to Ice's sleeping quarters. Her eyes glowed dark as her body shifted into shadow mode, she then slipped under the door and reverted to her nature self; though her feet were still taloned. She stalked the room till she found Ice sleeping in front of a fireplace that held a dying fire. "ICE" roared Rache as her cry awoke the sleeping Kiros. "What are you doing here changeling?" asked Ice as he rose to his feet. "I'm here for your horn" hissed Rache as she raised the Rocket Launcher and aimed the cross hairs at Ice before she fired. The blast sent Ice through the wall of his room and sent Rache through a wall as well, with a cut on her lip and a bleeding nose Rache stood up. With the Rocket Launcher in one hand Rache slowly made her way to the spot where Ice was blown through, Seeker suddenly melted and flowed into a sword like form; then when it hardened it was a machete. She sneered as she leapt over the rubble and climbed through the hole in the wall, to find Ice's bleeding body. "You....traitor" whispered Ice as blood dripped from his nose and missing limbs. "No, I'm not a traitor but I am revenge" replied Rache as she leapt onto the dying Kiros' head, she knelt down at the base of the longest horn and began to hack away. The horn was at least twenty feet long so it took her a while to get it off, but when she did the Kiros was still alive. "See you in hell" said Rache as she plunged the horn through Ice's eye and into the brain. She jerked her head up to hear the sound of claws on stone, someone had heard the explosion. |
