"Raven, where did you get that dress from?" Jon asked this out of nowhere as he cuddled with her on the bed. She almost choked on the tea she was sipping from. "Where is this coming from my boy?" she asked trying to regain her composure.
"Well, you taught me that all beings give off an energy field. An aura... And I can feel them because of you. But when I look at that dress. I feel nothing. No energy, nothing undead… just a void..." Jon and Raven looked over to the far edge of the room where her Dress of Shadows rested on a chair. Even from a distance they could both feel the darkness emanating from it…
"Huh, I guess it's about time I told someone about that dress." She stood up and walked over to her robe and picked it up. As she walked Jon was sure that she was using some sexy catwalk magick to entice him… and it was working…
"As you know, healing from just a skeleton was extremely painful. So painful that I dove into reading from the books of necro magick I keep around. In one of the pages, I found a spell that called out to me. One that could create an enchanted item. The Dress of Shadows you see now. The more I read about it the more I could feel it calling out to me. So one day I decided to draw up a design and opened a portal to the NetherRealm. These… creatures if you could call them that, came out and took the picture. I tried not to think about it but it haunted the far corners of my mind. When the day I fully healed came, so did they. It was nothing I've ever seen before. Noting I've ever felt before. Form fitting but not tight. Almost like a second skin." As if to illustrate her point the dress, seemed to… meld with her very being. "I've had this for a few months and I have yet to understand all of its secrets. I doubt I will be able to in a day… or a year." This was interesting to Jon…
"Jon you didn't have to come with me tonight. It's just a supply run near the Fae realm. I'm in no trouble." Tarot said. "I know…" Jon stated "but it's such a nice night out and since we don't spend a lot of time together I though we could take a walk. It's a nice night… ACHOOO!" Jon barely finished his sentence when he let out a loud sneeze. "Jon it looks like your allergies are acting up again. It must be from the pollen. Do you want to go inside?" Tarot asked. Jon sniffled slightly. "No. I'm fine. I want to stay out with you. We're in your favorite part of the gardens maybe we can sit down and relax a bit." Tarot smiled at her lover and nodded…
Raven watched from her window as Jon and Tarot walked to edge of the gardens. He smiled as he watched him fawn over her little sister. He was so adorable sometimes. She would almost feel bad if she stole him away from her baby sister… almost…
"Hello Raven… Beloved." She turned in fear when she realized where that voice was coming from. "AZURE!" she shouted at the dark elf. There was something chilling about him. His normally blue eyes were like dark voids with red pupils. "Your remember me. How sweet." He pretended to gush. Raven tried to regain her composure. "I thought you were dead! Tarot killed you! Beheaded you herself!"
"Hm. You knew all this and you didn't come to see me. To free me from that salt prison? There I was floating in the abyss when suddenly a skeletal wraith freed me! The gods work in mysterious ways indeed.
"Crap!" Raven thought. " Skeletal wraith?! Must have been from that spell I used. It did read that loved ones would be reunited. I guess it meant former loved ones as well." "What do you want Azure?!" she barked.
Azure let his tounge hang out and licked the air to remind her of their time together. "I though, before I find our sister and rip her head off with my bare hands, then destroy everyone she ever loved, I would find you and make love to you one last time. What do you say beloved? Shall I give you one last night of pleasure before I slit your throat?"
"I just need a tissue." Jon and Tarot were both shaken when a pillar of fire erupted from Raven's room…
Azure cackled at the pale witch seemingly unharmed from her attack. "You want take my sister fro me Azure. Go ahead and try. I'll make sure you stay dead this time!" Raven shrieked Azure simply raised his hand into the air and sent her flying through the roof. She collapsed next to the gutters as Azure floated towards her unconscious form. "Such a waste. A dark witch of your caliber sprawled out like a drunken whore. It would be so easy to take you one last time…"
His thoughts were halted when Tarot flew up and smashed him through the wall. "Tarot! How good to see you! You saved me the trouble of finding you myself!" he cackled. Tarot launched a barrage of lighting intending to vaporize him. Azure conjured a pink shield to block her attack. "This time I'm not just stopping at your head. I'm going to cut you into piece until there is nothing left!" Tarot proclaimed.
"How coincidental! I was just thinking about doing the same thing to you!" Azure brought the nearby bathtub to life as he used the pipes to grab Tarot in an attempt to drown her. "You and your sister are so predictable. You never even think of using your environment as a weapon!" He pulled tarot to the bottom of the tub as it rapidly filled with water. She thrashed her legs, trying to escape. "I heard that some of your witch sisters were drowned for practicing the craft. How fitting that you meet the same fate. Tarots legs slowed down as the water filled her lungs as Azure laughed maniacally.
"Not so fast, you zombie smurf!" Jon leapt through the window with both fists clenched and in flames as he began to beat on Azure without mercy. "You okay baby?" he asked as Tarot rose up coughing up water. "Yes my love. I'll be fine." She gasped. With that reassurance Jon continued to pummel on the dark elf. Each hit not only bruising him but burning the bruises him. "Big mistake pal! You should have never crawled out of your cell! When I'm done with you, your gonna wish you were back there with no head…"
"ENOUGH!" Azure cried as he force choked Jon. "You love this redheaded cow so much! You can die with her!" he plunged his head into a nearby toilet intending to flush him like the fecal matter he is. He resumed drowning Tarot in the bathtub intending to drown them both at the same time. "How romantic! Two lovers' drowning in the same room together. Maybe I should drown your boyfriend in the tub with you so you can kiss each other goodbye!"
A large blast of power came from nowhere as he was pushed back outside while releasing his grip on Tarot and Jon. "Of course! The witch mother has come to save her spawn." Mother stood beside her children and their lover, her hand raised and smoking from her attack. "My children do not need help dealing with you dark elf… They are more powerful than you will ever know." Jon and Tarot stepped outside with Raven as Jon conjured a small amount of heat from himself to dry both him and Tarot. "How adorable. The Skeleton Man picked up a few magick tricks since the last time we met. What's wrong? Did the… what does your kind call it… swirly? Give you a cold?" he chuckled.
Jon clenched his fist as flames erupted again. "I'm gonna push these spikes so far down your throat you Twilight reject." He threatened.
"So arrogant… so overconfident… you humans are all the same. It will be your…" he barely finished there sentence before he was bombarded with flame and lighting. The family had had enough. Azure was going to die tonight…
They were all knocked out as Azure sent a shockwave across the floor. They laid unconscious and smoking with Jon in Raven's bosom, naturally. Azure lifted into the air with a rise of his hand and picked up the sword of the Gods ready to do what he dreamed of doing for so long. He raised his sword ready to decapitate. "So many heads. Where to start? Ah, with this one!" he struck downwards towards…
