An: since tensa can't see, he'll be able to sense things. I think this will be the end bun-buns, maybe another chapter for the love to blossom between tensa and pantera? Probably.
Throughout the weeks of tensas recovery, he sent pantera to spy on the village, making sure that only john had seen the man-beast. It was a part of his plan you see, because having a village of paranoid people was indeed amusing. But having the one who led the charge against you being the only paranoid person in their village? Oh, that was downright sinful.
Tensa sensed, amused, as john flitted around the village, telling people of a monster tensa created. No one believed him of course, the mob of men that had beaten tensa swore him dead. They had put it off as the hollows playing tricks with his emotions at first. Then they started to be more wary around the man, for who sees imaginary monsters made by a dead creature?
By the time orihime had settled into her wretched life again, tensa had a surprise for her. He knew she wanted a family, who didn't? He found pantera stalking a poor deer, they had to eat, and sensed him playing with the creature. Only when pantera pounced on the deer did tensa speak, "you seem to be in a playful mood pantera."
Pantera, in his original form, walked up to tensa and rubbed against his leg. "Only when you say i can stalk the humans. Which I am guessing you are about to tell me I can."
Tensa smiled as he petted the beast's fur. "You guess right. The she-devil wants a family and….I don't think I want her to have one. Would you want her to teach a budding life the horrible things she knows?"
Pantera snarled. "That woman is a bitch. The things you told me that she has done….." He left off fearing he would go and kill the woman too early.
Tensa soothed the panther. "Calm yourself pantera, she will get what she is due. You will help me in that, won't you?"
Pantera purred, "I will." They were getting quite close, pantera and tensa. Tensa didn't think he would find anyone, and pantera didn't want a mate. But fate, as tricky as she is, has a plan.
They retired for the night, tensa once again dreaming of orihime's fall. He woke at the crack of dawn, sending pantera to gather the herbs and roots he would need for a particularly nasty spell. He could still sense them, but it would be faster for the beast to gather. Spells came easy to him. He usually casted a spell by saying them, but this one was old, you needed more than just words for it to work. One of the things he needed, was orihime's hair.
For the task of getting her hair, he had to go to the edges of jalsoon. Once there, he cast a sleeping spell over the village, "dormitabis". With that done, he leisurely walked to the hollows, he had a cauldron of sorts to work with. When pantera arrived with the rest of his ingredients he got to work. "So careless in her decisions towards a life, she seeks to bring forth another. The strongest of fairies I, shall give her a blessing. I bless her with a fruitful body, when she has breathed her last breath. Then and only then will she give life, before, she is barren!"
As he added each root and herb, the potion formed. All he needed now was her hair. He put the potion in a vile and walked back to jalsoon, the people were next. Arriving at her shack of a home, his sightless eyes looked down at her peaceful face in sleep. "You are peaceful now, but not for long. You will suffer for your fowl deeds, just like your husband and the rest of this lowly village." The ginger fairy plucked a hair from the she-devils head and put into the vile. "No magic can undo what I have put in motion, not even mine."
The spell completed, it rose from its confines and seeped into her pores. Tensa smiled evilly, she would pay. For her husband, he would continue to let pantera scare the man insane, the villagers would take care of john. Then he would take care of them.
Weeks passed as tensa sensed with glee, orihime and her husband were so sad to see they could not bare children. The villagers were turning on john too, since tensa made sure the man saw him standing alongside pantera. It was wonderful.
Within a week's time john had gone insane, spouting tales of the vile and retched tensa coming back to take revenge. Oh, the man had it quite right. He waited until the same men strung john up, and slowly approached them. The fear he could sense from john was enough to give him goosebumps. He heard the snap of the rope signaling john's end, and he even heard orihime's mournful cries. He made his appearance then.
Dissolving from a cloud of black smoke, he could hear the surprised yet horrified gasp. "Oh my, you people do take justice to a whole new level. And here the man was just warning you about me." He shook his head. "Tsk tsk tsk. You should have listened to him." He grinned evilly when orihime stormed up to him. "Why orihime, what brings you? Do you need a remedy to your," he touched her stomach, "little problem?"
She gasped and stood back. "You did this to me? You vile creature!"
Tensa sneered at her. "You are the vile creature, you and this village of fools. You spat your lies and they believed you, they tried to kill me and took my sight. You all shall pay!" Then a cloud of that familiar black smoke appeared next to tensa, pantera stepping forth. With no amount of emotion, tensa ordered, "Kill them, all of them"
Pantera looked to tensa, "Even the children?"
Tensa smiled. "No. The children will be raised by the creatures they think us. Fairies, pixies, dragons, tree giants and the like. Every child here will go to one of them, a better place really."
"You can't do this!" A man screamed.
The ginger fairy tilted his head "Watch me." Then he smiled genuinely, "They will be in good hands, they won't even miss you, because I will take their memories of you." Then the screams of the village were heard far and wide, the children, only three in the small village, were given to the beings of the hollows. Tensa got his revenge and some happiness back.
Maybe...he would get something even more beautiful?
An: Hint hint, wink wink. 'Dormitabis' is Latin for sleep.
