Iyla hadn't noticed what Ryuch and Athran were up to- for while a peculiar snake like creature appeared before them- the massive ground snake that had been racing past Iyla suddenly turned around- and while the woman's heart was still beating almost clean out of her chest, she watched in horror as the dirt exploded, and a massive worm-monster came roaring out of the earth and placed her in it's huge shadow.

It had a series of two mouths- one primary one that one would have expected to see, but as his inner mouth was exposed and rows of teeth glinted were seen- a second, deeper mouth opened within it's throat to expose even more teeth and an even louder roar- and before Iyla knew what was happening, the massive, toothed worm came barreling her way!

She only had a second to react, and using the shadows, she twisted into them, but was reappearing mere seconds later as her body ended up collided with the long, bumped body of the sandy colored worm creature and it sent her tumbling onto the ground. She would have been crushed had the monster been just a few inches over- and she watched in horror as it continued to slither past her at incredible speeds-
and she didn't even realize it, but the creature was now roaring and heading straight towards Athran! And with it's massive mouths opened, it was evidently ready to gobble the elf whole!

Athran screamed something - most likely a curse, but through the clinking metal and roaring of the worm that couldn't be distinguished - and quickly pulled out the Black Sword, avoiding the huge jaws with a long step aside. Its blade glinted in the stray beams of sun, and flashed as he leaped into the air.

The marble somehow got into Ryuch's hands, and in a matter of a mere second, Athran was up in the air. With two clean, lightning-fast strikes, he cut off the two outer jaws of the worm, making a great turn in the air while avoiding the inner ones, and landed back on his feet. The worm roared, its murky blood dripping off the Black Sword, and its inner jaws, with the rows of sharp teeth, were aimed at Ryuch.

The death god, surprisingly, didn't do anything. He just stood there, staring at something in the distance, clutching the marble in his hands. His head disappeared in the worm's mouth, but when it attempted to bite the death god, its sharp teeth couldn't even pierce his skin. "Mortal creatures have funny ideas about death gods!" he shouted, but from the worm's intestines, it came out only as muffled mumbling. Athran screamed, and skewed the sword deep into the worm.

Ryuch bent his knees even more than before, and slipped from the worm's jaws, shaking the slippery saliva off his hair and face. The worm was shaking, but its body was slowly sinking against the Black Sword's blade, which created a bigger and bigger hole with every inch the worm went down. Eventually, it sled off the weapon, and collapsed onto the ground, dead.

The elf himself wiped the slime from his long hair, slicking it back. The winged circlet was lost somewhere behind, but he didn't seem to have even noticed. Ryuch, holding the black ball against the sun, stared at its shadowy surface. "What is this?" he whispered.

"I'd rather ask what is THIS." Athran replied, poking the corpse with the tip of his boot. "And if there's more... I've a bad feeling it's not done yet."

It wasn't in her character to stare and just gape, but dumbfounded she was- that was all she could do as she watched the elf tear the massive worm to pieces. She wasn't sure what to even make of it, but she was thankful the damn thing was dead!

Rising to her feet, she realized the shadow seed was still present, and that's when she noticed the death god had it and her skin paled. Faster than light, she moved across the field and when she reappeared beside Ryuch, she was practically stumbling over her own two feet.

"Give that to me!" she said, and made a quick grab for it.

Ryuch's hand arose high above her head. Both him and Athran laughed, harshly like ravens on a battlefield, and shook their heads. "Say please." Ryuch asked her.
"Say pretty please." Athran added, crossing his arms on his chest, still holding the Black Sword in his right.
"And answer my questions." The marble in Ryuch's hand flashed between his fingers, when his hand hid it again.

Now they held her in check. None of them was going to give it up any soon. For all the inconveniences, Athran wanted to see her beg on her knees, and Ryuch wanted all his answers. Every single one.

"And if you try to attack us," the Black Sword softly poked her into her chest with the tip of the blade, "this will go deep into you. Very deep." Athran warned her. The death god cackled.

visualspice

Please? Were these two for real? Maybe she was dreaming- but the way her body was yearning, pulling, begging for her to touch and retrieve the shadow seed-s he knew it was not and she bared his teeth at the pair of them.

"I'm not afraid of either of you. And I'm nto about to become anyone else's slave!" They couldn'tkill er- she was invincible in this form- even if later, when she had to return to her mortal state, she'd regret it. But drawing out a dagger, it appeared as if she was about to take up Athran on his word- to fight his blade with just a puny dagger-
BUt the moment she turned from Ryuch to charge Athran- the entire ground suddenly erupted beneath her-
ANd a second massive worm appeared- and just before their eyes- it gobbled the woman whole before giving a roar and clamping it's mouth shut, and began to plow it's way back into the dirt.

Athran smacked the creature and immediately after threw himself out of the way of the worm, which seemed to aim for him after the flat side of the blade hit it. It mysteriously ignored Ryuch, who jumped up into the air, and was now floating somewhere behind the closest apple tree. The elf growled, quickly standing back up to his feet. It just ate Iyla. Whole. Swallowed her like Maigrod would swallow a steak.

He charged towards the beast, repeatedly stabbing it and slashing its body, while avoiding its biting jaws. Leaping over its tail, which was still half hidden in the ground, his feet touched the ground again, a bit further from the rows of clinking teeth, reaching after him. The worm was roaring, but Athran was faster than it.

At least he thought. When the creature spit out a large portion of saliva, his feet in thin-soled boots slipped on the goo, and he hardly avoided falling onto the ground. The slashing jaws reached after him, and before the Black Sword skewed into them, ripped a large part of his sleeve off, leaving a bite mark on his arm. He groaned, and kicked the worm. His arms straightened, and stabbed the worm right into its open jaws. It emitted an even louder roar, its fangs repeatedly trying to bite Athran's hands off, but it was only twisting in its dying agony.

Its corpse sled of the tip of Athran's sword, now partly covered in his own crimson blood. It smote the worm once again, cutting its head off, and cutting its intestines open. Athran blindly stabbed into the disgusting mass of flesh and organs, trying to reach Iyla.

When the worm was cut open, steam rose from the gooey innards of the beast as it settled into death. Though it was still warm from the aftermath of it's life, the worm was massive so ti would be hard to figure out just where Iyla might have been swallowed, but another slash later opened a large enough gash in its side that the woman slid out, an dher body slipped across the slick grasses- grasses that had turned into a mass of sticky goo and worm insides the moment the elf had cut it open, and she settled into them, her body, still breathing, still moving, but it seemed the woman had become unconscious, and did not move from where she lay.
Her cloak was suctioned to her form, and the hood, having long since been knocked off, revealed her red hair now plastered against her-
the only thing still intact was the clothe worn across her mouth-
though even that was soaked in blood and saliva and intestinal fluids from inside the worm.
And her black leather armor seemed to glisten like silver off the daylight.

Well, it seemed the elf had won for now- but what he won, it was hard to discern- and from his reckless, blind chopping at the worm from his sword, it might have been evident that he might have (or the worms sharp teeth) cut a gash into Iyla's side, and instead of bleeding red blood like any other human, the woman's side was weeping inky, black blood, instead.

Athran poked Iyla with the tip of his boot. "You. Are you still alive?" he groaned, still gasping for hiis breath. Ryuch, who was once again on the ground, nodded instead of her. "She appears to be. I can still see her name - and it's visible as long as she's alive." he explained to his companion.

"Everything except the worms is alive, then." the elf concluded, ripping off a part of his other, undamaged sleeve, to cover the shallow wounds on his arms. It wasn't much of a problem, only a slight inconvenience, and as long as he will get the time to clean the bites soon, a week later, he'll hardly remember them.

However, it appeared worse with the woman, when he stepped to her to find out what being swallowed by a worm has done to her. She seemed entirely covered in sticky fluids from the inside of the worm. He grabbed her by her legs, and pulled her out of the pool of blood and intestines, creating a long stain where he pulled her body.

Ryuch helped him rip another part of his robe with one of the knives he hid underneath, and Athran wiped the worm-fluids off Iyla's face with the dirty scrap of black fabric. There was a strange, inky blood streaming from her side, which none of them understood.

It was unfortunate that none of them was a healer, but Athran at least figured that much that it would help if he'd cut the upper part of her armour off, and cover the wound with something. A thin blade of a knife cut the leather armour off. Athran, unfortunately, appeared completely clueless, as if he had no idea how to continue. Ryuch just shrugged when he gave him that confused glance. "Don't look at me. Death gods don't bleed."

visualspice

When the leather armor was cut open, more than just the wound was exposed. The bindings that kept her gender hidden were revealed, and her body looked almost as if it were wrapped up tightly like a mummy and it's wraps! Though, her gender still did not give the elf any answers to how to treat her wound. And though the woman could not die, she could when she returned to her mortal form if all of her shadow blood was lost in battle. After all, she still had to endure these pains a second time when she'd return to her mortal form, but for now- it seemed the woman would still remain unconscious, her chest rising and following as she gave gentle, slow breaths.

Athran sighed. He'll have to treat her like he'd treat himself - what was quite hard, and possibly painful at first, but efficient for the while that it would take to find a healer. He cut a long, wide piece of fabric from his robe, and tightly bandaged the wound. He was concerned whether it won't obstruct her breathing, but it was more important that she wouldn't bleed out.

Ryuch watched him carefully, as Athran's hands quickly and confidently moved around her waist, covering it with the dark fabric. After a while, he finished, fastened the improvised bandage, and returned her her armour, which has begun to dry under the bright sun. Most of the worm's saliva has evaporated already, and the armour regained its smooth, dim appearance.

The elf sighed. What now? She was obviously unconscious... They should seek a healer. He tried to shake her, just to assure himself, but didn't hope for much.

visualspice

When he shook her, Iyla merely groaned. But her eyes didn't open and the only reaction after the noise was her face visible flinching, even beneath the cloth that hid her face.

Athran sighed, and picked her up. He didn't bother with being overly gentle or careful - just grabbed her and held her up in his arms. She didn't seem to perceive him... They will have to take her to a healer. The town wasn't too far, but with something like this on his arms...

Ryuch only gave him a sympathetic glance, and floated behind him, while Athran carried Iyla out of the orchards. He managed to snatch some more apples for himself, and as they left, he looked over his shoulder with regret.

The Apple's Orchard!
That was the sign that greeted them that was half fallen off it's hinges in front of the quaint little inn nestled in the center of town. It was located near the city square, beside a fountain, and the room they were offered actually had a decent view- though the man at the front desk was charging them a pretty penny.

BUt he also was skeptical of the lot-t he elf came in (and elves were rare in these parts!) and he was covered in grime and blood- the woman seemed to fare no different, though for all he knew, the elf was carrying another effeminate man.
"Three silvers and not a copper less. Besides, it includes a bath, which you are highly in need of!" the inn keeper said with a sniff. "You stink! And I'd prefer you all clean up before returning to the main floor. I can't have my inn being stunk up by some smelly elves."
He had no idea what to even think of Ryuch, but anything funny coming from these three and he'd alert the town guard!

Athran sighed, and wagged his head at the tavern keep. "Ryuch. Your turn to get us out of this." he said calmly, with a sign of boredom in his melodic voice. The death god grinned and stepped forth, showing the man a wide grin, full of his sharp, pointed teeth.

His hand, still holding an apple, dropped onto the table. "One silver piece for a night's stay. And the best room you have... Otherwise... You know, I haven't killed a human in about three weeks, but I can gladly make an exception and get the room for free." The man's face turned pale with fear. Athran appeared beside Ryuch, and showed his own arrogant grin. "And I also happen to have a sword, if you think here my companion might be lying."

The innkeeper was nervously shaking before those two. They were threatening him with death... Judging by their visages, it could be well possible that they were some kind of killers. He nodded, and when Athran placed a sole silver coin upon the desk, he pointed at the corridor. "Follow it till you can only bare left... Then take the second door before last." he muttered, and quickly got out of their way.

The room was quite big, offering two beds, a wardrobe, and a wooden table with four chairs in a smaller room, leading from the corridor. Flames were kindling in the fireplace, even though it was still only afternoon. Athran dropped Iyla onto one of the beds and himself went to seek the bath the innkeeper spoke off. He was completely certain that he will have to burn this robe once he's out of it...

Only when he left it, he came upon the bitter realization that he has hardly anything to wear. There was only his old shirt and pants left in a (quite) clean state...

With a rather grim expression, he returned to the room and glared at the flames. Where's armour when one needs it? Walking around without a chainmail shirt felt incredibly unnatural - and unsafe...

Ryuch stared at him while he played with the couple of silver rings, his feet in the same pair in dirty boots upon the table. He always wondered how did the elf manage to lean on the chair and balance it on two legs without having his feet on the ground, and even paying attention. It appeared that he hardly even knew of it.

By the time Iyla was taken to the room and placed on the bed, she began to awaken. Her body was still in shock from being devoured by the monster, and her side- throbbing. As she lifted a hand towards her wound, she winced once she touched it before her eyes fluttered open and she got a whiff of the pungent smell that now clung to her body- and sitting up suddenly, she realized she had NO idea where she was.

But the moment she spotted Ryuch and Athran in the room, her eyes narrowed upon them as she tried to stand up from the bed-
unfortunately for her, the wound was to much and she doubled over and clutched at her side. Seems any attempt to sneak out unseen were thwarted. The two would easily hear her grunts of pain and be alerted she was now awake. Though it was a she was bent over in pain that she realized her wound had been tended to, and casting a glare Athran's way- she had to wonder if this was the elf's doing.

Ryuch, sitting on the windowsill, was the first to notice her. He turned to her, slowly biting into one of the last few apples he has brought with himself from the orchard. "I'd keep on the bed, if I were you." he uttered, followed by the loud crunch of his teeth, skewing into the fruit.

The chair thudded on the ground as Athran returned it to its original position, with all four legs on the ground. The rings slipped back onto his fingers, for the first time without the gauntlets that would hide the countless long scars on his pale skin, and he crossed his arms on his chest. Even without the robe and jewels, he had the fair elven grace and beauty, though with a hard, cold tone. He slowly stood up and approached her, assured that she is practically harmless.

"Now you should show a little gratefulness that I cut you out of that worm, treated you, and took you all the way here, and cooperate." he growled. Ryuch behind him just cackled. This should be interesting... Oh, mortals are so amusing...

Iyla's eyes narrowed upon the elf.
"Why should I?" she growled, keeping one hand clutched over her wound.
"I never asked for your help. And I never wanted it." Looking from Athran to Ryuch,s he sensed the shadow seed among them and cursed beneath her breath. "What do you want?" They clearly had some ulterior motive- and she needed that seed- and if she had to, she'd killt hem both, or die trying. She had little choice.

Athran sat down on the edge of the bed. "It's very simple. We give you back this," he pointed at the seed in Ryuch's hand, "if you answer our questions. But if you lie, we kill you." he warned her.

"You're helpless. If you attempt anything, I will cut your head off before you even stand up, or Ryuch will use the powers of a death god. Their effects can't be avoided - remember that." He was perfectly calm and serious, the majestic spirit of a warrior radiating from him. In his confidence, he was the Black Sword with everything that belongs to that.

Iyla narrowed her gaze at him, but it was evident in her expression there was some desperation and surprise intermixed, and her anger, only growing.
"Go ahead and try to cut my head off," she goaded. "If death were so easy for me I wouldn't be here." And it was true, whatever her shadow master did to her made her completely immune to Ryuch's powers- though if her head was lost... she was uncertain what that would mean. She might not die int his form, however... when she'd return to her mortal body, she wondered if she'd truly die.

"Now what do you want? You try my patience,"s he growled, her eyes going back to Ryuch and to the shadow seed he held.

Ryuch approached her. "I will question you, Iyla Krue. Here Athran has nothing to do with it... Not really. But you should thank him for being still here." he said. The crunching of the apple was terrifyingly loud and sounded brutal, like breaking bones...

"What are you? Answer me honestly. Is this your real body? Are you a human, or have you been one? If not, then are you mortal?"
