Spidely Spoodly, it's time for the Noodley.
Naamari was sleeping in her bedroom with her Serlot in the darkened palace of Fang as everyone else went to bed for the night, making sure to hide her daggers under her pillows incase anyone tried to attack her in the dead of night, pulling her covers over herself, in her tired haze she swore that she saw her door creak open by itself, unnerving her a bit.
Rolling her eyes and figuring that it was the wind, she got up to close the door when she heard her Serlot hiss at something in the darkness, making her quickly grab a lit torch and one of her daggers from under her pillow and search the room for any sign of intruders lurking in the darkness, checking her curtains, closet, and lavatories, finding no one there. She cautiously placed the burning torch in it's sconce and held on to her dagger as she covered up again, scanning the dark room one more time with her eyes before closing them to drift off to sleep...only to hear her name repeated in quick succession a smoky echoey voice that felt pretty familiar to her.
As she was about to grab the torch, it was blown out and before her eyes in its place was the illuminated form of Sisudatu... horns covered with a paper pendant and body now ghostly gray and covered in blood and her eyes pitch black staring at her with the most terrifying predatory smile the dragon mustered, the wound the arrow from Naamari's crossbow made oozing with pus and blood, almost making the woman gag in disgust at the sight. Looking to her Serlot for back up, she noticed at it bolted at the sight of the undead water dragon, making her shake her head in shame. " Typical cats.."
" Namaari...do you remember me...Vinturi? " She asked not breaking eye contact with the Fang Princess. " I only wanted to be your friend and bring peace to Kumandra...But you shot me with a arrow for the trouble...there's a special place for traitors, you know? " She stopped to see Naamari do the Sisudatu hand gesture in attempt to appease the evil spirit. " That's not going to work this time, Traitor! " She then started cackling loudly and roaring as she readied her claws to strike her murderer, who jumped out of the way and pulled out her daggers to fight this demon, only for said demon to knock the weapons out of her hand with her tail, tossing her across the room, through the wooden door and through a wall of the palace, knocking Naamari out temporarily.
Stinging pain in her back and head, Naamari slowly got up and held it in her hands as she stumbled around until she held herself against the wall and walked along it while Sisu was right behind her, snarling threateningly as she stalked her prey with a smile as she noticed that Naamari recovered from her crash and was now running from her at full speed trying to get away from her while going through the palace by memory in the dark as all the torches and fireplaces were blown out, ignoring the fact that Sisu was keeping up with her just fine due to being a strong swimmer and lighting quick on her all four paws, something Raya never told her.
Making sure to avoid ramming into her mother's throne, Naamari made her way into the ruins of Fang as she avoided the cracks and gaping holes while Sisu followed her by hopping from rooftop to rooftop until she saw Namaari trip on a big piece of rubble and fall into a hole by the city's main bridge, the woman rolling down and hitting her head on something made from stone, looking up to see the figures of Raya, Boun, Tong, The Ongris and Baby Noi still frozen in the praying poses the Drunn left them in with the dragon gem nowhere in sight.
Turning around and seeing the dragon land right at her feet, Namaari backed herself against the statues as she watched her with fear as Sisu glared at her with her blackened eyes before turning her gaze towards the statues, bowing her head in silent reverence for a moment before turning her attention back to the princess and roaring in anguish as Namaari watched with guilt on her face. " I'm so very sorry... I didn't mean for all this to happen! "
Sisu slapped her across the face in response, not wanting to hear any excuses from the backstabbing vinturi. " Sorry doesn't fix anything! You caused this...you took my friends from me...you took my girl from me... " She cried as bloody tears ran down her face and low growling emitting from her throat as she watched her prey attempt her escape, only to stomp on her back and tear off her legs by pulling them from the kneejoints with one paw, making the woman howl in pain as blood pooled on the ground, the dragon enjoying the crimson smell while it permeated her nostrils. " ...You can't run from fate, Namaari...now accept yours with dignity! " Sisu finished as maggots poured from her mouth as she started feasting on Namaari as she screamed with agony begging for a show of mercy which ended with her bloody demise.
