Samson: The Undead

"We are home." Scooping his daughter in his well defined arms a bald headed merchant pointed northward.

 "What's this?" Staring off ahead of them Nutri head cocked to the right. "Those crags…are they an illusion?"

 "How can you tell?"

"Because I can't hear nor feel their presence."

 Turning to his sister with a grin Tecto gazed at the land formation ahead of them. "So you are able to commune with all of nature?"

 "According to my knowledge my speech is reserved for all of plant-life but…" Turning her head and gazing up at the sky, Nutri stopped talking.

 "What is it?"

"Nutri…Tecto!"

 Peering up at the sky, Tecto replied. "JunBee?" Leaving the carriage shelter Tecto ordered the driver to halt. 

 "Nutri…" Woosh picking up his pace with a beat of his ink black wings JunBee angled himself into a dive.

 "JunBee, where are…" Rotating in a circle searching, Tecto head shot over his shoulder at the arrival of his sister.

 "The trees are telling me." Spinning around and looking in the sky Nutri pointed at their comrade swooping their way.

 "JunBee can fly?" Spoke Tecto to himself before shooting a swift glance at his sister. "And she can commune with nature," he thought to himself. "Have he accessed flight through consumption of the Voisarro. Observing his thoughts the Inkan eyes followed JunBee from sky to ground and then past them for the SouBei had to do a run and stop. 

 "You were victorious!" shouted Nutri with a dash to JunBee filling him up with hugs and kisses. "I can sense your evolution, your energy has expanded."

 Eyes growing wide with excitement JunBee replied. "You have too yet you look the same."

"That may be true but I have attained a new form and abilities."

 "Me too. Want to see?"

Stepping in Tecto peered over at the merchant family staring at them dumbfounded. "JunBee, the two of you will have to practice at a latter moment. At this being, allow us to finish escorting our clients."

 Nodding their heads in acknowledgement, both Nutri and JunBee continued their conversation as they followed Tecto to the carriage.

Riiike…riiiike…Riiiike! "What the hell! Shadow Throne, what are you doing?"

"Flying this Quint right into that swarm, can't you see?" Whipping the reins on the creature it grew an extra pair of wings to speed up. "If that mongrel of a child had to pass this way, so will I. Hold on."

 "Wait, why isn't he flapping his wings anymore?" Asked Madurai nervously.

"She is converting to sonic mode, only the female species can obtain this." Replied Oneef. "We will be clearing through this valley in a moment's time."

 Eyes shifting at the thought of moving that fast across the sky, Madurai shook his head. "Shadow Throne, maybe we need to rethink this."

 "It's too late once the impetus ducts on this creature's wings are opened and its wings are fully immobile it will only move its wings in accordance to how I control her. Be prepared I will now show you why I hold this particular Quintessence in my arsenal." Placing his hands on the base of the Quints neck Oneef called it by its name. "Aerial of Sawtee" Syncing himself to the creature halfway possessing it Shadow Throne grinned with malevolent intent. "Let's rid these skies of these vermin." 

 Ti, ti, tiwooo a circle of sixty-four blue flames whipped to life surrounding Aerial. Angling its neck at the command of it's master the Quintessence burst across the sky firing blue beams of energy at the parrot like apes before shifting into a maneuver or angle at the drop of a dime dodging all counterattacks.

 "I'm going to be sick." Complained Madurai. "I'm not designed to be slung all around the heavens. 

 "I know Madurai must be sick right now." Petting his stormhound he laughed. "He doesn't even like it when we move at those speeds." Shrugging his shoulders Sarahi said. "Well we can't leave all the fun to them. Cublo shall we." Releasing a thunderous bark of a reply with crackle and pop of electricity the Storm Hound bolted away.

Toop, toop, toop toop, toop toop the sound of an ax pounding against the stump of a tree echoed and sung to the chopper of wood as he tended to one of his tasks. Wiping long blackish silver hair from his face along with sweat he peered into the sun while the breeze pressed against his body. Closing his eyes and taking in all of the scents and his surroundings he calmly opened them. "I wonder why the cattle are all agitated. Hmmm, has someone entered my territory. It has been so long." Closing his eyes and connecting with the earth the old man's mind flashed dark, before the expanse about him entered his mind. 

 Roaming the earth around him through vibrations the old man's focus stopped at the titter and tatter of feet eight to be exact. Inhaling deeply his sense of smell told him that this beast also carried passengers and was an opportunistic creature. A second inhale located them miles away but moving swiftly. Nodding his head and tossing the ax foosh the old man bolted away leaving his footprint in the wake of where he once stood.

 "Oh my god she is so beautiful."

"What is she an elf?"

 "No a goddess."

 Sighing as she slipped about the crowd Nutri could hear the whispers of all that laid eyes upon her. Ever since her evolution all that cast a glance upon her radiance have become entranced by her beauty and those that gaze into her eyes possessed by a dying love. "So much for being inconspicuous. At least I can still tend to my duty." Rotating her head browsing through signs and buildings she asked herself. "Where should I go first? What items do we truly need?"

 Scanning the crowd The Acquire gaze halted at a build of a crowd in the northeastern section of the towne center. Turning the shouts of "burn it, burn it." Caught her attention. Swishing her eyes thereabout until she spotted the tree nearest to the incident she closed her eyes and focused on its presence until its senses became hers. 

 "Omm." hummed Nutri falling into the peaceful vibrations of the tree. Expanding her awareness around the tree she began to pick up the vibes around them. Unintentionally spreading the roots deeper into the earth and further out to further observe The Acquirer felt the emotion of a being. Tilting her head at the sensations she could feel its rage, passion, and hurt all at the same time. "I wonder what truly is taking place." Staring at the thickening of the mob and the smoke protruding from them the SouBei had a flash of a thought to enter her mind. "Thank you." She spoke to that thought knowing where it pervaded from. 

 "HUh…" turning a blonde head and raising puffy red eyes, an old lady took a step backwards at the emergence of Nutri. "Weren't you just a tree?"

 Shaking her head, The Acquirer strolled away without an answer heading to the center of the madness. Dropping her jaw at the sight of a merchant getting brutally beaten by the angry mob Nutri snatched the hood off her face allowing full view of her face, grasping the attention of all. "Stop." she screamed. Standing in attention the entire crowd focused on her as they went still. Watching the people out of fear and curiosity The Acquirer swooped the victim to his feet healing him in the process. "Are you okay?"

 "Am I okay?" replied the man with flames building in his chest. "Of course not! Those savages destroyed my shop and my entire life." Beaming at the crowd the merchant burst into a maniacal laugh. "You believe you can stop me but I will succeed and exceed even in death. Remember me Kim Flammel The Herald."
