For All Eternity

[Rikugurl]

Myra looked at him oddly. "Must be important if you've been looking for it for ten years." She frowned. "Can i ask what it is you're looking for?"

[wha?]

he pushed his anger aside. "no, but you can tell me if you know anything about him." he got up and took the plates back to the kitchen. "ever heard of a demon called R'gul?"

ooc: back in a jif.

[Rikugurl]

"R who?" She looked at him oddly. "I don't know many names of Demons..." she frowned. "Did he kill you wife...child maybe?"

[wha?]

his mind raged at the sound of those words. so much so that he almost lost control of himself. he struggled to regain his composure. "yes, he killed them." his eyes burned red with the torment of reliving that awful day so long ago. "but only after having his fun with their bodies. he started with my wife, whom he repeatedly raped until she no longer struggled. then, after he killed her, he moved on to my son." tears sparkled in the dim light as they fell from under his hooded face. "and he tortured my son until he too died. but when he got to me, he didn't kill me. no, he didn't kill me. instead, he left me to wallow in despair as my family lay rotting before me." he suddenly stood. and regained his cool exteirior. "if you'll excuse me. i'll be back shortly." he walked out the door into the damp night air.

[Rikugurl]

Myra just stood there and blinked. "wow...right on the button this time." She smirked as she walked to his side. She looked up at the hazy moon and smiled. "if it'd make you feel better...you can kill me. I'm a horrible person. Not as horrible as some people think. I had a good life until I was a teenager...after that, I turned into a rotten child. I use to get drunk non-stop until I found out I was pregnant. I never really cared for my son. When he was about five and found out who his father was...I took his away and split his knee open with my sword...He will always limp when he walks...Then I left him there and disowned him. He lives with his father and aunt now...I left my home, my family...even changed my name..." She sighed and closed her eyes. "people say that I tried to kill my boy...but that's not true."

[wha?]

Kavan was still shaken from his venture into the past. it still seemed like it just happened yesterday. even though years had passed. slowly, he lit a cigarette. "why would you do that to your own flesh and blood?"

[Rikugurl]

"Because I was selfish...." She looked down and sighed. "My family hates another...and my son's father was apart of the family that we hated. I didn't want our family blood to mix...so I ran away from the truth...like a coward."

[wha?]

Kavan's ear twitched as he heard a door slam shut. he looked up at the starry sky and sighed. "are you still running? is that why you're here?"

[Rikugurl]

"I don't think I'll ever stop running." She looked at him in the corner of her eye. "I don't want to face the truth...anyway, my son probably hates me now...it's been 5 years since I've seen him."

[wha?]

"what's so bad about the truth?" he turned back to face her. "you should go see him. even if he does hate you, he's still your son. don't you want to see him?"

[Rikugurl]

"no." She looked at him sharply. "I don't want to see any of them again." She walked back into the house and up the stairs to her bedroom. She walked to her bed and sat down.

[wha?]

Kavan was stunned. he couldn't understand why she didn't want to see her son. even if all that happened. there wasn't a day that went by where he didn't long to see his family one last time. a twig snapped behind him. he wheeled around to find five ugly demons staring him down. "oh hey. heard about you guys. like picking on humans huh?" they didn't say anything. they just eyed him hungrily. "oh, i see. well, i'm sorry boys, but it seems you've got the wrong idea. i'm just not on the menu." he drew his sword as one of them lunged at him. he jumped to the side and cut his head off. another one came up behind him and nearly slit his throat. cutting the strings that held his hooded shroud on his back. Kavan threw the assasin into the nearby house. it hit with a loud thud, breaking it's neck. the demons suddenly ceased their attack. with his cloak gone, they could now see what he really looked like. his long pointed ears twitched at every sound they made. his red hot eyes burning with anger. and a ragged pair of wings on his back. he quickly sprung into action beheading two more demons as they stood there stupified. now only one remained. he turned to see it running in shear terror. he spread his wings as he leaped into the air. and crashed down upon his victim with unforgiving force. the demons screams could be heard throughout the whole town. lights started flicking on as Kavan stood above his mangled prey, panting.

[Rikugurl]

"What the hell are you?" Myra had seen the whole thing. Her sword was drawn and pointed at him. Her eyes had gone cold on this stranger. She had seen stranger creatures than this...but she wasn't expecting something like this.

[wha?]

he said nothing. but just folded his wings. after several moments, he finally spoke. "i didn't always look like this. i used to be a human. but R'gul did this to me. on the same day he slaughtered my family. i begged him to kill me so that i could go be with my family in the afterlife. but he had a better idea. he had a sorceress cast a curse on me. she made me look like this. i can't see them now. not like this. so i'm looking for him to get revenge and to get my humanity back." he turned away from Myra. "i have to go now. before the rest of the towns folk come out here and try to kill me. guess i'll see you around."

[Rikugurl]

She frowned as she shethed her sword. "Wait...let me go with you." She walked up to him and sighed. "I have nothing better to do...anyway, I need to get out of here."
