Erebus

The sky was cloudy on the streets of oak, a parlor of shops lined the streets with men sharing items they hoped to pass over, but the fear of a storm kept many civilians off the roads. Within the little shops around the block; lights inside could be seen, even if dim in the whispy fog laden afternoon.

A pub, once owned by the Lich of the Nightmares, was currently inhabited by Erebus. The pub itself was not empty, it never was. The many folks in the room throwing down money and the women carrying drinks to all tables. Erebus was amongst a very active room, the scene was something like that of a Saloon. You could say so if you had ever been to Oak... It was a cesspool for scoundrels, admittedly. But long into the three years Eternal Nightmare has come to power, the bandits have either joined in building the city or leaving for greener pastures.

Making Oak the Kingdom of Thieves, almost all but considering itself ready to break away from Fiore — for Eternal Nightmare’s decree. None would know that Eternal Nightmare had amassed Such extremely connected sources that it was almost an entity bigger than the sheer scope of a guild now. It was an empire, and it’s leading body president was standing, dropping a bag of rubies against the table for the finest black liquor he could get his hands on.

His hair was pink, shaved around his ears but now quite long on the top, it fell over him in a uniquely punk way. His cloak and hood, cover his neck, whereas he wore black and navy armor under it. Four arms hung out lazily, almost making him look a demon there amongst the crowd. If one inspected his face they would see black laces of lines decorating him in the language of the Gods.

Erebus was a special human. He was not a Demi-God, he was not a Demon. He was simply in between, and neither alive nor dead because of his cape (which allowed him a special connection to the dead realm). You see Erebus was something like a progenitor for war. One might even say a biblical symbol in the form of a destruction-laden horseman. In truth, he was just a man out for freedom by any means necessary. Erebus was at one point just a rogue, on the run. Then everything changed when he was hunted... He became geared for fight instead of flight, and with Odin’s passing. Was voted the new Guild Master by its current party of warriors and sorcerers alike.

To see him outside of that setting where he was those things, one would truly see the shitbag person Erebus could be. A drunk... he couldn’t lie, he carried a flask everywhere. He was arrogant, a bit domineering. Kind of standoffish and a dick, but impenetrably loyal to a fault. Erebus was the diamond trait ally so long as one didn’t stand in his way— that is. For everyone minus Odin’s killer. That person, Erebus considered his life’s new rival. The power that was gained from her side of the alignment pool, versus his, a desperate streak to the top that sacrificed his mental and his close friends on the way.

Who had Alisa lost, Erebus wondered. Sitting at the bar. “I’ll have another please,” the phantom pushed his empty glass away, turning to look towards the door as he waited on his next drink. “... Something new, for the next I think.” he added as he busted out his smokes and lit one in the room, unapologetically to any near. Not that anyone ever stood anywhere near Erebus, nor said anything.

Nikki




WORDS: #### | TOTAL: #### | CLASSIC


“Mother… FUCKER!” The door to this perhaps less than fine establishment seeming to erupt with an ebony haired enchantress who looked like she had just been pulled from a carriage wreck, and with fire on her tongue to only sell that idea further, Nikki Marcello or whatever she had come to call herself since becoming one of the grateful undead stumbled through the entranceway with a noticeable limb and several regions of both her clothing and the flesh beneath it torn to high heaven, and redness oozing as a result.
“Werewolves, am I right?” Not seeming terribly hindered by that fact however nad even appearing to regain her composure with every step she took and swear she flung into the room, 'Bloodfang' as she had so artlessly been deeming herself of late cranked her neck with a crack and then shot a smirk toward the first set of eyes which caught hers, and then scoffed at the ordeal she had been through as she allowed her recent feast to fuel her faculties.

“You make one joke about how their mother musta really loved doggy… And suddenly they wanna see you in the back alley?” Stretching herself out as she did so and perhaps marvelling some around her as the wounds on her fine frame seemed to shrink away as if time itself had seemed to have been accelerated around her, gashes and scrapes faded and a black eye appeared to melt away to nothing, and so too did the swelling about her nose once she had put it back in place.
“And not in the good way either…” All the while keeping that good sense of humour as she flashed a grin and a wink to patrons who looked like they had seen it all before, she had to admit that one of the best things about choosing a new boozer in a dark guild town was the mere acceptance. Here she could vamp it up, and no one was about to go running to the rune knights, which was a step up from most places she knew.

“Blood tastes like shit too!” Able to be herself here and frankly finding that a breath of fresh air, or at least close to what she remembered that being, the black beauty could beam even in her bloody state as a figure from behind the bar tossed her an old and decidedly damp rag to mop herself down with, and she obliged such generosity by stuffing some stained notes onto the counter in front of her.
“Gimme somethin'… To wash that outta my mouth!” Few things better after an evenings 'work' than an ice cold brew and even the stuff that was served in this place making do for that design, the dark dish could only grin as she demanded satisfaction from the barman and then looked across the room, keen on seeing if anyone fresh had opted to stop by and maybe even brighten her evening as well…

Erebus

Erebus watch the femme fatale boisterously crash into the room. He silently sipped his drink, narrowing his eyes at her while the bartender tossed her a rag and poured the poisonous syrup into a small glass for him. “Who is that?” He said with a intrigued tilt of the head. He instantly took one super long drag of the cigarette and flicked it at the guy a few seats away. The warlocke grabbed his drink and the bottle itself from the side of him, not losing any direct attention from the vampire as it got comfortable.

“Actually— you haven’t even met the worst one.” Erebus spoke, breaking the silence as he came within a few feet of the girl, he placed the glass up in cheers of her recent kill, and downed the hatch on the glass. Pouring another, he then slid the glass across the table to her reach as he straightened. “Lucretia. A werewolf and Rune Knight in one person, can’t imagine all the fur in the office.” He jested— seeing that his identity was perhaps just as unknown as her’s was to him so far. “You may wanna wrap up those holes, the boys around here get pretty rowdy after hours.” Erebus mentioned as he took a long swig from the bottle still in his hand.

He was sure the house didn’t care. Erebus was always around here, wasting what time he wasn’t privatizing. He always paid, it was a manner of respect to Odin’s Estate.

“What’s your story? Werewolves kill your grandma?” He said, willingly pitching more conversation forward so that the hunter might enjoy her evening in the bar. After all, travelers didn’t get much social setting on the road. He knew this to be true for himself. It was just courtesy to greet newcomers... The interest came from her healing factor which Erebus had noticed. She would make a fantastic specimen of Warcraft. Erebus wanted her— and so he would have her. Such was the nature of hunting weapons for a treasure collector such as himself.

Who's this guy? Looks like a kid… The brow of the black beauty arching as she found all kinds of attention drawn to herself by her entrance, Miss Bloodfang felt her attention piqued a little by the fact that a fresh face in the place seemed to show himself quite the authority on the furred fiends of the land, and was all the more surprised by the youthfulness of his image based on that fact.
“Sounds like quite the bitch~?” Never one to pass up the chance to let loose a crass line and proving today would be no exception to that rule another broad joke escaped her lips, the ebony haired enchantress finished dabbing away the redness and then grinned as she found the dutiful figure behind the counter providing her with something foamy and with all that good kinda stank, and so shrugged as she scooped it up and took a seat next to this stranger for lack of a more entertaining option.

“Maybe, but I could be the kinda gal who likes 'em staring?” Scoffing quickly however when he seemed to offer some fatherly advice about the condition of her current wardrobe, the raven haired rebel wasn’t about to eagerly follow the instruction that anyone offered her, and was ever less so about to feel intimidated at the mention of rowdiness either.
“I mean, it’s nice to know I'm getting their blood pumping, right?” Feeling that the heat of a man's blood had been a fine way to sustain herself these past years since she had switched to liquid lunches and the like, Nikki had little compunction to bare a little of the goodness she had been given if it was going to rustle her up a decent meal at the end of the night, and ever less so when it also seemed to help lubricate the evening as well with eager offers of alcohol to boot.

“Honestly, it's a bit of a blur…?” Frowning however when it seemed that the lad was intent on getting to know her better and not just because she found those who stuck to the superficial a more satisfactory snack, the dark dish lifted up her drink and sucked down more than a generous sip as she thought back to the person she most identified as a grandmother, but frankly, struggled to form much of cogent impression.
“A lotta what I had before seems to blend together? Like waking up? You know you had a dream about something, but the more you try to remember, the further away it seems to feel?” Instead simply wrinkling her nose and lifting her hand to softly and subconciously fondle one of the few scars which remained on her body, the jugular of this joker seemed marred by the faint impression of a fang mark which would likely only add to the hint she gave about her status as an honoured member of the undead, and while doing so she had to admit that she couldn't recall all that much past the last few years. Not since she had dragged herself out of her grave, in fact…

Erebus

Nikki was definitely the type who thought with her fists, There was no short of transparency to bet intelligence with the witty humor either. “I guess she does fit the definition, doesn’t she?” He took another drink pulling the bottle to his lips, “Oh— you’re one of those types.” Erebus nodded. “You remind me of another Vampire I knew.” Erebus pressed. “She had a similar response about her past.” The raven-haired huntress described to him how she didn’t really know the difference anymore between her life and her undeath— a crippling weakness of Vampires. They usually do tend to lose themselves to things like their temptation, addiction to the euphoric blood that they ingest, or time itself, being practical immortal.

Nonchalantly and without much context for what he was about to do, Erebus walks to the door Nikki had entered from. He turned to the room and clapped his hands once. Drawing forth all the attention he needed to shift the entire tone of the room.

Everyone in that room at the time, stopped moving and the music cut. They stopped playing dart and pool— everything came to a commanded standstill... Erebus gave them one expression, one that Oak knew. It masked behind his sustained silence and trained eye on the crowd. It was enough to cause everyone to begin vacating the room. If Nikki tried to leave with she would be stopped by the bartender who went out last, he closed the door gently behind his self. “I’ve figured out as much. You’re a Vampire, which explains your talent for combat. But I need to know, are you apart of any guilds? I’m something of a recruiter, to show up here you must have heard about the region’s Eternal Nightmare.” he paused. Where he assumed she’d speak.

“Pffffffft! You're sat here talking to a hottie in a bar, and you're bringing up an ex~?” Snickering as nameless new friend seemed to walk right into one of the dating pitfalls and only too happy to point out that fact, while Nikki had very little intent on following up on the kittenish vibes that had seemed to have been prompted by the mix of brawling and boozing she had been engaged with, she still couldn't help but chide her companion for such an obvious mistake when it came to his comparison.
“Not the smoothest move, cowboy. Lucky you're cute, huh~?” For sure a normal girl unlikely to enjoy being told that the man they were with had another woman on his mind, the sable siren shook her head as she snickered and pointed out the error in his ways, but ultimately only in a teasing fashion which would tell him that she was most definitely not like your average girl as well.

“I think I was…?” Once more seeming to feel like she was clawing at the sand slipping through her fingers as she found herself being asked about her allegiance, whatever she had been through to take her from the land of the living and bring her to that of the unliving had seemed to claim enough of who she once was for Miss Bloodfang to speculate on the fact based on memories that felt like another person, and more obvious signs as well.
“Got this fucking thing and… Shorta ripping the arm off, ain't much I can do to get rid of it?” Tilting her shoulder toward the stranger and demonstrating the faded image of an imp or something that one in the know would be able to recognise effortlessly, she dragged her nails across the mark she had been given as a mere mortal and gouged the flesh which carried it hard enough to draw blood, but ultimately showed that it would not leave her all that easily, as her words intended, as the wound seemed to mesh and the sigil remained. Like her old life was still trying to cling to her…

Erebus

Erebus listened, occasionally nodding at her humor— even for a woman Nikki was a level of barbaric that was new to him, but she was simply herself— and that was her nature. No one could expect her to be any different, even if Erebus had only just found this creature he could deduce as much. Of course he didn’t let her sly comments get to him, he had been around these types and situations before. He simply pretended not to hear about the ‘ex’ comment. The truth was, Erebus simply couldn’t do relationships in general. He found himself safest alone, independent and without having to think about another.

When the Hunter went about showing him her skin— and how it would heal back without removing the tattoo, he quietly observed the process and watched it’s rapid reconstruction as it occurred over the Fairy emblem. Tricky. Humans didn’t do that, but Erebus knew the ritual procedure for her race, and all the races. That kind of information became known after one reached the status of Guild Master.

Fairy tail... That was the last place he could have expected someone like Nikki to come from. However, they were once known to be the rowdier lot if memory served correctly. “The only way to get that off is to cover it.” Erebus suggested. “It just requires that we cover the old one up. I could freshen the ink— Interested?” Erebus then paced the room as he spoke some more. “I do have a forewarning though, joining us in Eternal Nightmare is freedom, you’ll find the reality of life to be different on grander scale. Firstly, we don’t care who you kill, drink, where you go, who you bring to your quarters. We don’t care about anything besides your willingness to act and protect your guildmates. As far as who or what we are. That is not of anyone but your own concern. That said, the King is always concerned with us. He will begin placing bounties on your name. He will likely stand against you not because you are a criminal in this guild, but because you are a vampire and should be eliminated.” Erebus was being honest, but he was also spreading Reign’s truth. Only recently in the last decade of fighting were pardons mentioned for Eternal Nightmare. They didn’t even offer those during the demon incursions, but now suddenly.. the fighting force of Fiore is split.. The entire debacle was a fault of none other than the crown itself. “I like you vampires personally. Some of the only creatures that can really party— certainly you can throw down.” He mentioned that last part, more to hype the offer up, rather than simply compliment her. He assumed she may say no, but flattery was the fastest route to getting anything... and Erebus knew this.

“A Nightmare, eh? So you're one of the lads from the local guild, huh?” The brow of the brunette piquing as she was offered not only an admission but also an invitation to boot, the beaut focused first on the former as she looked him over again and wondered just what he might be packing in a scrap on account of his apparently membership of one of the most famed dark guilds in the land, and found her lip curling at the corner as she did so.
“And you're interested in a pretty little thing like me huh~?” Certainly not the sort who was sober minded enough not to feel flattered by the offer he had given her either, ultimately Nikki didn't know whether he seemed more intent to turn on the charm to win her over because of her looks or what her transition into the ranks of the undead could do for him, but either way it sounded like it would be lark enough to prompt a cackle soon after.

“I can't argue with your taste, can I~? Bwahahahaaa!” Naturally having to stroke her ego a bit though and licking her lips as she did so, the sable siren sunk what was left of her drink as she contemplated the little proposal she had been given, and then cocked her head and showed a smug grin as she chuckled over the implications of his interest, though did not keep him hanging to long in regard to the decision she had made.
“You know what? Fuck it!” Showing off her more bombastic side however as she rather whimsically decided to throw in with a man she had just met and slamming her mug on the counter with such an excess of force that she seemed to shatter it in the process, the bodacious Bloodfang minded neither the splinters of glass she got in her hand nor the scowl the owner shot her either for that matter, and exploited the former to seal their bond in a somewhat archaic fashion.

“Been looking for a reason to reinvent myself a bit, and besides, 'Eternal' and 'Nightmare' feel like they sum up a bitch like me perfectly!” Offering out her bloodied mitt in a show of her resolve even if some might have seen it as a reckless decision given how little she knew of the fresh face in her life, in truth the coquette had only been made more cavalier by her brush with death and life beyond it, and as such felt little of her future forever to the friend she had made this evening. Worse case scenario it was just another cult to bust out of when she got bored, right? That was something she was used to by now…

Erebus

Erebus could tell with almost unreasonable doubt... . Perhaps it was the expressions she wore, or the glass she busted. It seemed she was in. “Excellent.” He said— following her loud exclamation to throw her life away for adventure into dangerous territory involving demons, conquering, terrorism and the world there after. “Indeed— fuck it.” He nodded. “Best decision of your life. You bet.” He said— taking his hand outward, one of the four. Erebus approached the woman who’s voice was hooting and hollering and in the room, the lights dimmed as Erebus muttered the incantation that was left to him for this exact purpose, as a guild master it was unique in that it was wischtecian and didn’t operate like normal magic it came from the spiral itself. He brought his index and his middle finger forward. They seemed to ignite with a purple light, instantly the air would charge up with a special purple energy.

Assuming Nikki was willing to let Erebus touch the tattoo— he would start the process and burn the skin to stir the ink particles in a swirling mass. The shift was of a magical metamorphosis, causing the ink to glow and pulse going through the color palette at accelerating speeds before ultimately appearing in the shade/color Nikki’s would be. The process was short. But the pressure around was intensified. As if one had walked into a different reality, the reality where everything was not as it seemed.

In a world where the villains were their heroes, and the wicked were the rightful fighters for freedom. It was about more than simply being a rebel and living a certain way. It was about making your mark, and fighting the system. That is why Eternal Nightmare had plans to conquer. Meeting the guild members and seeing the Spiral were all she needed now.

For now there was the current state of the affairs that came with the life she had just signed up for. “Now the fun part. Aye? You could stay here at the bar; or you could see the Spiral now— it’s what we call our guild house, but it’s... Much bigger than one might imagine.”

“That looks a bit more like it…!” The sizzling feeling of her flesh something that Nikki did not particularly enjoy and yet at the same time found herself shivering because of it, the face of the fox lit up a little as she watched the spell of her new friend seeming to swallow the sigil she once bore and replace it with something fresh and exciting, and in the spirit of that the dark delight couldn't help but fancy a greater change as well.
“Though, now you got rid of the imp, how about we…” Lifting a hand toward the wrist of the hand which her new ally was using to brand her and grinning all the more as she did so, the beauty with the black mane beamed as she aimed move his focus from the shoulder he had 'christened' to somewhere a little more scandalous, and bobbed her brows as she did so.

“Be a little bolder, hm~?” Feeling that her mark of the devil or whatever this was supposed to be would look far better emblazoned just below her midriff like a naughty little tattoo to keep the eye guessing, the buxom bloodfang wanted it to be something she could be as proud to show off as the chiselled abs she possessed, and knew that a spot just inside her left hip would only provide greater scintillation for the viewer, even if an adjustment was necessary to fulfil it.
“This feels a lot more like the new me~?” Happy to hook her thumb into the hoop of her belt and tug the waistline of her skirt downward in order to faciliate the new 'statement' she gave herself, the brazen brunette would have also been quite the liar if she also didn’t feel a little thrill in the intimacy of the deed as well, and had her scarlet stare fixed upon the face of her new friend as she did so to test his mettle in the deed as well. After all, she wanted to see him have the balls to go with her flow when she wanted to.

“Whoa, a cute guy in a bar telling me he's got something big to show me? Heard that one before…” Letting loose a breath once she had done so though more out of lingering habit than need, once more the mood of the minx was mischeivous as her branding buddy seemed to brag of their guild hall, and snickered a little as she once again found herself falling into base innuendo.
“Most guys usually give me a name first, you know~?” Not refusing his intent either though and slipping free from the stool that she had been sat upon in a silent gesture of approval for the suggestion, all the same she couldn't help but call attention to the fact that they had done all this without even being introduced properly, though that wasn't really all that unusual for her, was it? In fact, sometimes it only added to her fun…
