First topic message reminder :

"Our Blood Boils"
Two Tribes has been at war for years, increasing the number of death for years. What could be the cause of this? A Powerful Shape shifting Onikonjou who has mastery over the Pysche abilities as well as Demonic arts. Unlike most demons, this one possesses much experience and power, being in the manipulation/killing game over years. He knows everyone in both tribes and sometimes takes the form of the leaders of the tribes to stir up trouble. The villages are hostile towards newcomers and even make assassination attempts. Let’s put an end to this, Stop that Demon somehow and his corruption of the tribes before it’s too late

The new moon, a time when the sky is as dark as a raven's butthole. No light shone down from the heavens, but plenty of light shone up from the busy city with its inefficient lights and its neon signs advertising every sort of pleasure and vice known to man. Businesspeople and pleasure seekers alike rushed busily along the streets.
Among their feet, a small shadow darted from streetlight to streetlight somewhere in this human flourish in the middle of yochi. By now she couldn't be one hundred percent sure of where she crept through. Ordinarily, she stayed in the Lower Commons, but she had business here in this less familiar end of town tonight.
Stopping, she sniffed the wind and snarled, not finding quite what she was looking for and not remembering what she was looking for smelled like in all actuality. Tensely, she rushed through a wall, disappearing into the brick and emerging from the concrete on the opposite end, looking up and down the streets at the traffic.
This night she had business in the past, and she wanted a particular someone to accompany her there.

	Seized within the grasp of the massive, serpentine creature Kyoko had once assumed had been a mere myth, struggling would be fruitless with consideration of the strength the monster bestowed. All the youthful girl could do was stare in awe towards the events currently occurring. The fox’s words causes her to succumb to her own curiosity. “We did, didn’t we...?” She recalls it perfectly, as literally it’d only been hours ago within what could now be dubbed as ‘yesterday’. Dust storm envelopes the village from the colossal wingspan of this beast, and when the debris and dust clears, the individual and his mount has diminished from sight. Within almost the same moment, the cook makes a loud entrance, and promptly she steers her attention rearwards. Blood red pupils gaze towards him, and Kyoko forgets this fact entirely. “You mean Medea?” She inquires.

     "AAAAAAH!"
     The cook seemed almost ready to have a heart attack as he staggered back until his hand fell against the door, his other hand clutching his chest and his eyes wide as one might expect from a deer before an oncoming pair of headlights.
     "Aww, shit..." Grunty grumbled at the inconvenience, tying the man briefly and with astounding swiftness using only her manipulation of lightning. Mentally tugging the electric chains, she tossed the man on the bed and hopped up after him. "Ah, only one thing to do with a human who knows too much..." she continued on, licking her chops.
     "Wait! Wait! You're a witch, aren't you?" he said, addressing the red eyed girl and struggling against the force that paralyzed and bound him there. He was surprisingly mobile considering that the electricity wrapped around his torso and arms and should've rendered him "shocked" as it were. The vixen tilted her head to the side.

	It hadn’t been too long before the cook made his horror very apparent. Kyoko crosses her arms below her chest tightly, almost as though it were in impatience. Within moments, the man was ensnared within the clutches of an electric chain, his arms seized to his torso. She thinks that already his petulant mind has absorbed far too much- its original capacity was not intended to perceive such. In fact, she is surprised this asshole’s skull is capacious enough to contain more than his thoughts. But then... he addresses her. She doesn’t care what exactly he assumed she is, truly, she just wanted him dead before he opened his ignorant mouth. “What of it, jackass?” She inquires blatantly and very bluntly. Oh god- it felt so good to finally be able to speak with all normality. For the entire time she was within this village she constantly felt as though a muzzle had been bound upon her, but now she felt as she could finally uncensor herself in this scenario.

     The cook, by this time, had grown to a level of paleness that could rival a piece of office printing paper. Despite his apparent fear, he struggled to find his tongue and, out of desperation, produced words. "You might be able to help us. Our warriors are away, but a single man on a dragon should be easy for a witch and her familiar, correct?" he managed to sputter.
     Grunty raised a brow. "I like the idea, eh? How much money are we talking?"
     "Two thousand gems!"
     "Make it two thousand five hundred and we've got a deal."
     "Yes! Yes, anything you want, just please..."
     She released the man and looked over at her partner. "I'm guessing it's time to go, huh? This should be quick. He's very visible, he shouldn't have gone far.

	Her gaze remains steady upon the man- never seeming to waver from him as she listens to the conversation occurring. Subtly, she runs her tongue over the sarcoid canvas of her lips; she cannot help but feel an intense bloodlust- or simply a literal thirst for blood during the periods of time which she is in this state. With the almost amorous expression on her face it is within her interests to drink every gallon of blood within his feeble body- but it appeared that they needed to keep him for a while. Her visage contorts sourly before a light sigh passes through her lips. She doesn’t know the exact amount twenty five hundred gems would weigh in the present. “He should be a pretty easy target. I mean, I doubt it’s hard to hit a giant dragon and some dude especially when the dumbass is unsuspecting...” She yawns idly. “Once he’s neutralized can I drink from him?” Kyoko appears to have grown ‘thirsty’ ever since her ominous, nightly transcendence.

     "Eh?" the small canine mumbled, almost absently as she turned the idea of money over in her mind. "Yea, I mean, he ain't gonna give us any money, huh? You can drink from him all you like..."
     She hopped out the window after she finished that statement with the general expectation that her night blighted friend could follow. "Hell, you can stuff the bastard in a cannon for all I care. Heh..."
     The woods outside of the village were burnt, but with the flamboyant breaths of the dragon, they were rather easily able to follow him. He wouldn't cease his dragonflight until they'd come upon a small village with similar wooden walls. "This place looks... just like the other one..." Grunty marvelled, wondering if they'd not perhaps gone in a complete circle.

	The outside boundaries of the forest is filled with the scent of the burnt flesh of trees and littered with the skeletons of leaves. Everything within the terrain seemed to be crisp as if they’d just emerged from the confines of a barbeque, and she could not argue that she didn’t like this smell. She inhales deeply whilst raising her hands to back of her head, her palms acting as cushions as she walked just adjacent to Grunty. The fox’s words were actually precise, and the realization of this washed over her as soon as her attention lightly fixates upon the... parallel small village. She had to wonder about the exact logic of building it to appear the same- had they any pride? What a bunch of assholes... They were probably literally warring over that one girl. But, they were being paid money, so that’s all that mattered. “Wow. Originality at its fullest, no?” She says, finding the appearance of both villages deadening.

The girl lifts her shoulders in a shrugging motion.

"Time to get this over with."

With each igneous breath it spilt from its mouth like an upturned bucket the vegetation's carnage became more abundant. Leaves lumbered like a swarm of droning bees and ashes soared like cargo planes. Kyouko's eyes hurt from some debris stinging the translucent cornea.

"Spread like the ninth wave of the sea."

Tiny balls of electricity suddenly begin to lift up into the air as they formed. Their pace is surprisingly fleet as they continue their march towards the unsuspecting dragon rider. Their form transfigures, flattening like pancakes as they latch on the body of the beast like velcro, covering the pilot like a sugar dipped strawberry. How idiotic to show off his dragon and give away his location.

"Spark."

In unison the small electric orbs are released. The explosion was as bright as a fully lit carnival, lighting up the sky sickly beautifully as it eradicated their enemy entirely. His corruption had spread like plague, not that Kyouko cared, but it was the gems she was in for. Had he not revealed his location the two would have been still searching for him. The beast plummets from the sky, the man caught just underneath the previous uninhabited space underneath the creature's massive belly. With a monolithic thud the crunching of his bones is not loud enough to be audible but is assured. If they hadn't succumbed to incineration the fall to the earth would be enough to make a quick and clean conclusion.

The impact's shockwave diffuses like steam from a kettle as it moves with the haste of lightning. The girl nearly loses her footing but catches herself in the process. They were probably far too far from the allied village to receive their praise, but she could only presume they'd be heading back to claim the currency offered.

Not until she got her drink, though.
