It was a cold, bitter night in Roarhaven, but Valkyrie had never minded the cold weather much and Darquess had similar feelings about the chilly evening air. They were the same person, after all.
She was sat on top of one of Roarhaven's new skyscrapers, watching the people below her like bugs. Bugs she intended on squashing under one great, big heavy boot. Not that she was wearing boots, of course, they were more like sandals... but a wardrobe update wasn't the first thing on her mind at the moment.
Suddenly, Darquess let herself plummet to the ground with her raven hair dancing in the air behind her. She hit the ground and a shockwave advanced outward, but as usual she didn't have a single scratch on her pretty face. Already, people were sprinting away, trying to escape, but they weren't even a hinderance for Darquess. She threw them all to the ground without blinking, let alone lifting a finger, and then dragged one mage with hideous robes towards her. He screamed and she silenced him with a lazy twitch of her hand.
"Where's Skulduggery Pleasant?"
She unsilenced him briefly and he stuttered "T-The Sanc-ctuary"
Darquess thanked him quietly before crushing his skull between her palm, letting the blood and brains flow over her fingertips. She let the others go unharmed, she let them run and warn the others of the great Darquess, before walking straight through all the Sanctuary's defences (including the walls) straight into the Grand Mage's office. China's beautiful eyes widened as she came into view.
"Where's Skulduggery?"
China considered lying, but she realised Darquess would find Skulduggery with or without her help. She may as well make it slightly easier for the physco.
"Down the hall on your left, second door on the right" China befiefly closed her eyes and waited to die, but Darquess only watched her with an amused smile. China could be useful later.
Leaving China stunned, Darquess closed in on Skulduggery's office. She hesitated slight;y as her hand hovered over the doorhandle, but she brushed all emotions aside and entered the room, silently. Skulduggery was reading something on a polished wooden desk, and didn't even look up as Darquess went to stand behind him.
"Hello" she said, and grinned as his head snapped up.
Hey there :)
