"Yeah.. i know..."Danyael says in reply to Rhiyou's lecture.
"But this place was once my home. It is only fair that i pay my respects every once in a while.", he adds as he stands and smiles at the vampire.
Just as Danyael is facing Rhiyou, a blurr of white and cream colors advance within the room between the two. As the blurred figure stops its movement, it becomes more visible revealing Gale in a kneeled position.
"My lords. There is a gathering in what would appear to be a courtyard.", he says in a formal tone.
"You two can go. I'm going to stay here. i have some thinking to do.", Danyael replies to gale politely, yet seriously.
"Milord, Kartzeh...Shouldn't you infom the master Danyael of the rest of the council?", he speaks to Rhiyou in request of an audience.
((ooc: the council that Gale is talking about are the 7 Emperors of Sanctuary. Danyael and Rhiyou are 2 of the 7. 5 more need to be explained. I leave it up to Sho to take care of that..))
Danyael lets out a sigh and approaches the balcony, looking down at the courtyard far below where the gathering was being held. Soon after, he felt a quick sensation rush across the room.
"Something's here.....Rhiyou. Gale. On your guards. Looks like we have some pests to squash..."
As Danyael walks back into his room, he tenses his arms in preparation to defend himself. As he walked down the stairs, leading away from his bed, he looked up at thei stained glass ceiling where a depiction of Kawanua and Samantha was.
He could feel the multiple presences throughout the room, giving him grasp to an eerie feeling of being the prey of something. A feeling, like rainwater seeping through the cracks.
I know they are here...where? Where are they hiding?
Unbeknowest to Danyael, three shadowy figures began to reveal themselvs above him, crawling about the ceiling in movements resembling a predator hunting its prey. Three more shadows reveal themselves behin Rhiou and Gale as they lucid, stealthy movements moved them silently across the decorated walls of the chamber.
"Yes. that's right..keep moving...Keep moving..", Danyael thinks to himself as the auras of the assassins became more clear to feel.
Darkness began to creep around Danyael's position in such a quiet manner, that they could barely be sensed or seen. Not even the most keen of psychics could sense such horrifying stealth.
He could feel the cold breeze run across his legs as the darkness began to creep aorund and surrounf him. Yet still, he could not find their location.
"Come on..Just a ittle more..Just a little closer...", he thought to himself as their presence, although barely visible, began ot be tracked and locked onto.
As the darkness was just beneath him. A silken hand arose from the void. Quietly. Slowly. Smoothly. As the hand opened its palm, a jagged silver blade slowly spriouted forth, not making a sound to give away its position.
"Close...Very Close.", he said to himself as he sensed the presence of the assassins move around them.
Gale slowly clasped his hands around his glaives beneath his cloak. He, too, knew that there was a group of assassins near he and Rhiyou. But where?! As soon as their locations were given away, he would strike precisely and mercilessly.
The hand began to move upwards, only leaving barely half a centimeter between Danyael's back and itself. As the hand moved upward, and arm followed. After the arm, a a masked face, with only its eyes and nose being shown. Soon. the entire body was now behind Danyael as it levitated directly behind him, poised to strike. As the first assassin was ready. Several more, identical in appearance arose from the shadows. Some poised upside down upon the ceiling. Some behind Rhiyou and Gale. And Some starting to crowd begin Danyael.
((ooc: if anyone has seen "Reign: The Conqueror", then you know what the assassins in the beginning of the series look like. These guys look somewhat like them.))
Their bodies were tall and in perfect condition. Their shoulders were covered with thick, furrled, purple cloths. their heads and necks were long and almost triangular in appearance. Their half-masked faces were elven, yet with dark olive skin. Their eyes were oval shaped and dilated.
Their legs and arms were long. Covered in a dark blue leather garment that hugged their bodies. Their abdoimal areas were also covered in the same tight dark blue leather material with a set of three aligned belts on both sides positioned vertically up the waist.
((ooc: kinda like this:

As the gloved hand moves the blade closer to danyael's back, it began to drip a dark green liquid. Anywhere where the drops would hit the floor were immediatly turned to stone.
The closer it moved towards danyael, the mvoe the number of assassins increased until 15 assassins elusively floundered about the room without notice.
Just before the blade connected to Danyale, he locked onto their positions and made his move.
"There!"
((ooc: everything with the assassins will happen at the same time.))
Swiftly pivoting in a 90 degree angle, he latched onto the assassin's arm, then pivoting once more, throwing the assassin into the wall, sending it throgh into the hallway.
As the 4 positioned on the ceiling took notice, they immediately darted towards Danyael with their dual daggers ready for assault.
"Oh, come on!", danyale yells as he moves backward, dodging and parrying the attacks of the 4 against him. As the first assassin moved at him in a frontal attack, another leaped to the side and moved in towards Danyael's waist. Danyael, taking notice to their tactic made a vertical sommersault, moving out of range of the two sending them both into each other. As danyael landed, he then pushed off from the wall, protruding his body like a missile. As he came within range of the two assassin before him, he twisted his body in a horizontal motion, crashing his boot into the waist of the first assassin with a well placed roundhouse kick. Just as the assassin is sent into the floor, Danyael pivots his body again, grabbing the other assassin's throat, snapping its neck at the twist of his wrist.
the other two glared at danyael and kneeled to the ground. A rumbling sound began to emit itslef from their bodies. A small humming could be heard as the vibrations continued. The same humming and vibrations cold be felt from the hallway where the first assassin was thrown.
Soon, the bodies of the assassins began to bulk up in muscle mass.Their heads grew four horns across the temples of their faces. Their eyes began to slant until the entire pupil reached to the back of their skulls. Their mouths and noses became long snouts with long, grotesque fangs, dripping a foul grey enzyme. Soon, their forearms began to quake and bubble. Suddenly blades began to burst from the skin, breathing from their twisted iron surfaces.
As the now transformed two stood, the third assassin from the hallway, also transformed, stepped into the room. Glaring at Danyael with blood red eyes, they spoke to him in unison.
Death is the only way out.
"Uhhh...right.. Sorry, But i disagree.", danyael says as he shrugs his shoulders and gets into a battle stance.
With an aggressive roar, the beastial assassins begin to dahs around Danyael, as if preparing for a specialized attack. Their movements were so crisp and fast that only blurrs of purple and dark blue could be seen as they circle around Danyael.
Although not intimidated, Danyael kept his guard ready, looking for a loop hole of some sort to make a counter attack.
Out of the blurrs, the talons of the creatures began to slash at Danyael, causing major lacerations across his abdomen and arms. Yet Danyael continued to look for an opening.
Sure enough, he found the pattern in their footwork, and swept his foot under them, forcing them ot lsoe their momentum and crash into each other collapsing to the ground. Without even another second to spare, Danyael pulled the giga blade from his arm, twirling and spinning the weapon at unseen speed so fast that only sparks from the blade could be seen. With out hesitaton, he impaled the creatures upon the blade, resulting in a unified roar of anguish.
As the creatures' bodies drop limp to the ground, The blade begins to breath in and out. The voice in its deep breathing could be heard as the heaving of air shook the room. The creatures' bodies began to quickly decay and dissolve away, their raw matter being absorbed into the sword.
Meanwhile, when Danyael gave away the position of the assassin, Gale took a quick look over his shoulder as he noticed five of the fifteen runnign towards hi, poised to kill. Drawing both his glaives, he held on weapon in a reversed position so that the hilt faced his enemies. The other hand held the weapon so that the blade faced his enemies.
Without saying a word, Gale bolts towards the five assassins in a blurr of motion, suddenly appearing directly infront of them. He knew who these men were and he knew exactly how to deal with them.
The first assassin moves in to cut Gale's throat. Yet effortlessly, gale shifts his body downward, allowing the assassin to lose control of its motions. Immediately afetr this occurs, Gale moves upward, thrusting the glaive into the head of the assassin. stunned by the attack, the assassin cannot move, giving Gale enough time to tiwst himself into another attack, beheading it with the reverese glaive. As the beheaded assassin drops dead to the ground, The other 4 surround Gale and prepare to atb him simlutaneously. Gale leaps upwards, allowing the assasins to instead stab each other. He then lands on the shoulders of the nearest assassin, places both glaives at its throat and pluss backwards, beheading it and dropping its cropse to the ground.
"Two down. Three to go."
Without giving the next nearest assin any time to attack, Gale moves in, making no room betweem himself and the assassin. Just as this move was in place. Gale thrusts the reversed glaive upwrads, slicing a line between the assassins body. Justy as it is about to break in half, Gale slices the other glaive across the neck of the assassin, beheading it as well. The body falls down in half upon impact with the floor.
"And now for you."
Without giving any time to the last two assassins, gale moves behind them in unseen speed and in one swift motion, beheads them with both glaives across their necks, dropping them to the ground.
((ooc: Sho. I leave the last five to you. have fun...))
