[open] you can't count on nothin'

Who: Seviilia Brightwing and YOU
What: Multiprompt!
Where: A cave, in the mountain Range to the east of Suramar.
When: NOW
Warnings: Death Knight warnings

A. Stags and Owls and Bears, oh my!

[Its been a few long and quiet days, where Seviilia has spent the better part avoiding other Dragonsworn passing in the area. She had seen the Aspects traveling north, Deathwing among them, and wasn't interested in revealing herself until she was certain their business in the area had completed. In truth, she spent several hours contemplating whether or not Deathwing had already been clued in to her presence, without actually looking for her.

The uncertainty had made her tense, and a tense death knight meant bloodshed. Anyone wandering the perimeter will find a trail of various animal corpses right up to a singular elf, crouching half-stealthed behind a tree while waiting for another to cross her path. If the scent of blood doesn't give her away, the anxious shifting will.]


B. Suramama Mia

[Seviilia had chosen the area for its location near the river -- it meant there was plenty of life passing through if she ever felt an urge, and it also gave her something to watch that wasn't liable to attack her for being in its space. The downside, of course, was that it nearly neighbored Legion territory.

This could also be considered a plus, as it kept the Night Elves and most Dragonsworn away as well. But for the moment, it was a definite negative.

Its the sound of small feet scratching that gets her attention first, then the stale mell of brimstone. The knight's ears perk upward briefly, then lay back as she reaches for her axes to step out of the cave. Sure enough, a small scouting pack of imps bounces along through the trees, followed by a large (but singular) felhound.

Seviilia promptly retreats back behind the rocky alcove and narrows her eyes. They're following something -- or someone. Maybe its her.

Or maybe its you.]


C. Shake Rattle and Roll

[Seviilia has spent the better part of the day following the river as far as it will go, to the edge of troll territory. Though she is mostly certain she could take a handful of the larger, ancient cousins of those she is familiar with, she isn't particularly interested in attracting them to her position.

Constructing a barrier while she is still mostly clueless about these new abilities proves difficult -- not to mention the fact that she is trying to do it without alerting the trolls to her presence. Its possible that, while wandering along the river, you fall into one of the many pitfall traps she's managed to create by bending the earth around her.

Whoops.]

[He's much farther out than he's ever been, but he's been wanting to get a better lay of the land, and he thinks he can survive on his own for a bit. That, and he needs to get away from the Obsidian Sanctum for awhile. When Apollo's chatter and Eldritch voices start becoming regular static amongst the roll of his drumming, it's time to take a vacation.

It's not that he hasn't been watching where he's going, it's just that his eyes are fixated on his surroundings more than where his feet are stepping. He knows to expect demons, or wild animals, or other 'sworn. He doesn't expect goddamn misshapen chunks out of the ground.

The shock of his ungraceful landing jars his senses that for the first time since he's started feeding on souls, his life energy tears away from him in a jagged ripple.

Cue a very angry yell.

He hopes no one saw any of that :|]

[sometimes, Tempest's memory was absolute shit. She was the sort of her person who took in the important details and left the rest behind, only focusing on what she had to know. It was why sometimes she couldn't remember a person's name until she'd talked to them a few times, or why if she was asked to regal a story about adventure, she'd only tell the really good parts and not the rest.

But sometimes? Her memory was excellent. It usually took something to trigger it, but when it did, all those details she thought she'd ignored came rushing back.

Which is why instead of just leaping into something that would make any sane person pause, she actually . . . does pause, when she comes across the trail of animal corpses. She's been in this situation before - albeit it was a hell of a lot colder and in an entirely different place.

Does that stop her from following the trail, though?

Nope. But this time she does mutter a spell under her breath, to have it ready, and draws her sword before proceeding. She's learning! (???)]

You-- [He jerks upright out of his fall at the voice, fingernails dragging up soil, and scowls at her. After a bit more effort, he clambers back to his feet and dusts off his robes. Come on, he's trying to keep this outfit in tact.] Gee, thanks. I had no idea without your brilliant insight.

[that familiar sensation of magic her body despises, already prickling a warning in her stomach, in her blood, is what makes her stop, before she sees the glowing runes. Her voice is a whisper as she dismisses the previous spell and casts one she used more often than not in Exsilium; the one that kept Seviilia from poisoning her.

That done, she tightens her grip on her sword, and takes a few steps forward. It could be someone she knew, ooor . . . it could be another Death Knight. And that would be her luck. She wasn't getting that close, though; she did learn her lesson somewhat, which meant she couldn't quite make out who it was, aside from what she could see]


You may as well stop hiding - I can sense you.
beholdthedrums: [EoT] (Again? Seriously?)

[personal profile] beholdthedrums 2014-06-15 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Is that right? Well then please [he spreads his arms and raises his brow, the sarcasm still in his voice] continue to "enlighten" me. [He tucks his arms back against his robe.] My ensemble from home wasn't going to last forever.
hyanaimne: I don't agree. (I nawen û ben naweg.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2014-06-15 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, attempting to—Seviilia?

[well. Shit. On the one hand, running into a friend was always a good thing! On the other hand . . . she follow a trail of corpses to find said friend.

Shit]
beholdthedrums: [EoT] (in your head)

lol good times

[His stance immediately shifts ever so slightly to the defensive, and his hands tighten on his arms, an itch of magic tingling at his fingertips, ready to snap out a spell if it came down to it. He doubts fighting her would be anything like finding a bear, but he's certainly not going to be "tripping" into yet another problem with her.

He cocks his head to the side.]


Maybe if you buy me dinner first, darling.

How do you think I found myself here, if I had not seen them?

[she purses her lips for a moment, then sheathes her sword. She remembers the incident with Koltira as though it happened yesterday, but Seviilia didn't seem as though she was about to tear out her throat. She hoped. Not that she'd hold it against her, really]

You know what my bad habits are.
beholdthedrums: [EoT] (it's not my family)

[personal profile] beholdthedrums 2014-06-15 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
And I eat souls [most of the time] so I think we could work something out. [Some of his tension eases as he smirks at her.]
hyanaimne: Strive for joy. (Raitho an glass.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2014-06-15 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
They have already gotten me killed. [because what else do you call spending ten years hunting someone, other than someone's obsession with revenge? Absolutely a bad habit, that.

Though, when she mentions other knights . . . well. She would have to be more careful in the future]


And? I am not friends with them. [she sounds almost petulant. She isn't entirely dumb, she just . . . makes bad decisions sometimes, that's all]
beholdthedrums: [EoT] (planned ahead for a year)

[personal profile] beholdthedrums 2014-06-15 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.] To each their own. Give me a reason, and maybe I won't. [He also feeds off information. She is the one that called him a Warlock before he even knew any ups and downs to magic.]
hyanaimne: I have no idea. (Amin caela n'noa.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2014-06-15 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
As though that was not obvious. [which statement she's answering, though . . . she huffs and runs a hand through her hair, and at the same time, pushes her hood back. There's no point in keeping it up, anyway]

Are you in need of things to hunt?
beholdthedrums: [EoT] (in your head they are fighting)

[personal profile] beholdthedrums 2014-06-15 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'll make enemies no matter what. Might as well make sure I'm making them for the reason I want, before they jump on other lines of possibilities.

[Hypocrite.]
