Project, MalfunctionChapter Six,A Life Without Living, Immortality
"I smell demon blood…" Sin flickered his ears, slowly standing to his feet as he spoke to his companion, who just chuckled at his statement about the demon blood in the air. "…the Griffon is also bleeding…if not dead, or soon to be." He continued speaking, even though Abhorrence was laughing, rolling onto her back as she laid on her bolder.
Such a funny creature he was…the wolf. He was always so serious, and forward with everything; frankly, she hated it.
"Ya, Ya…the Griffon is dead. I see its body, on the ground, bleeding its blue colored blood. Such a shame. I had hopes that it would be me to rip out its neck. Lucky, it died a much more painful death. Oh well. I suppose we should report to our humans…such a good boy, such a good girl…that's what they shall call us." She snickered louder, her tail flickering back and forth. "Like the pets we are, they shall deem us good, and perhaps feed us something nice."
Sin sneered a little at the mere thought, slowly trotting downward, towards the demolished little town, as the sky's began to grow dark, rain hitting the muddy soil in all the right ways. Smooth the ground now was, light on his aching paws.
"Sin, where are you going? Your going to take me with you, ya, ya?" She questioned, hopping down and trotting after the smaller body without much care for going faster, or being in front of him. He merely nodded, having been used to her strange style of speech by now.
He didn't need to actually respond to her…so, he didn't, and merely stayed silent as ever, trotting slowly, evenly, and in no real hurry. Why should they race to the scene? It made little to no real difference…the demons where racing away, so even if he'd wanted a confrontation, it was unlikely. Besides, it wasn't his job to baby sit a bunch of ill mannered and mindless demons in the skin's of a much worse enemy. Humans.
"My, what a mess they left…" Abhorrence whispered, hopping over different bits of wood or stone, having been slung around all over the place near the horrid Griffon's dead body.
Sin nodded a little, shaking out his fur before his paw was places against the Griffon's open beak, pushing his face from side to side, examining it. "Yes, what a mess indeed." He clicked his tongue twice, shaking his head with perked ears. "This poor fool didn't even see it coming…sniff, his smell says it all. He died a fearful death indeed."
The larger cat chuckled and sat down, watching Sin as he took amusement from the dead creature's shocked, pained expression and awful stench. "Ya, ya…he does look a bit to pathetic, now that I think about it."
Sin shook his head, grinning a little as his fangs where reveled. "Well, what should we tell our humans? They'll be wondering who did this…and I'm not exactly up for taking the blame." He muttered softly, tail flickering upward as he stood and trotted lazily around the huge mixed animal, muzzle down, and ears perked. Pity the Griffon was dead…he was such a beautifully ugly creature.
"I suggest that we just tell them the truth. Demons came, and shot him down. Its better just to tell them that, then to get into all the details that surround lying…" She tilted her head. "What are you doing?"
He grinned towards her, then perked his ears more. "Solo is coming…bringing Miss. Ember with him. Come on, ThunderPaw…MoonRun is excited to meet up with his human."
"Sweetie…stop talking in third person. It drives me crazy." She grinned, following after him as he started running. Yes, so what if it drove her crazy? Sin didn't care. He thought it was funny, that his human thought his name was MoonRun. Even funnier, was that Ember thought he was a spirit guide. Silly humans and their silly beliefs…he almost preferred being a God. Almost.
Running fast and smooth in the pouring rain, Sin and his friend Abhorrence, otherwise known as ThunderPaw, quickly caught up with the black mighty beast Solo and his rider, who couldn't be more happy to see her beautiful little 'puppy'.
It was okay, he supposed…she'd only live for so long, and being that she was his human companion for the time being, someone to help him survive in this world…he didn't mind putting up with her strange ways, and acting like her little doggie. It was the same for Abhorrence, who was the village leader's favorite kitten. They got fed well, housed, and where able to run free as they chose. To come and go without any questions asked…so long as they did their duty for their humans.
"MoonRun!" she hopped off Solo, Ember did, and Sin slowed his pace, nuzzling her hand as she reached out and pet him. "Where Flying Monster? You find, yes?"
Sin nodded a little, and Abhorrence snickered, shaking out her now muddy and wet fur before answering. "Ya, ya…we found it. Unfortunately, some young demon's had gotten to it, first, and slain it."
"I see..." Ember muttered softy, watching Abhorrence as she snickered more and trotted over, nuzzling Sin's head with her own, acting as adorable with each other as possible to avoid the downer mood from lingering. "…Should get back, tell elders now flying monster death." She reasoned, climbing back on Solo as Sin snickered.
To easy. Far to easy! Sin really did love humans sometimes…stupid, gullible, and ignorant as could be. They hadn't a clue the way the real world worked, and sometimes he didn't think they cared.
Not like it mattered any at the moment. Either way, Sin was happy with the human he'd picked in particular. Abhorrence's human was much harder to please. Then again, she also got better shelter and food then he did…give or take, he was still pleased, even more so when his feline friend snuck him a few scraps now and again. "Come on, sweetie…let race her back to the village!" She called, her claws extending, as she lowered her head playfully.
Sin nodded, and just like that, the two of them where off, far in front of Ember and Solo as they raced, every so often attacking o trying to trip the other up. Such fun they had.
"Hey…Abhorrence!" Sin panted, still running, but luckily, keeping his voice low enough to only be heard by her. Absorbance flickered her small ears and looked over, giving him a questioning look. "Listen! Really Listen…" He slowed down a little, both his ears perked.
She did the same, though she looked upwards when he did not, nose scrunching up. "Sounds like…birds, ya, ya…"
He shook his head, snorting. "A dragon. Probably drawn to the griffon blood…or, its own blood that killed the griffon. So far from home…she sounds very lonesome, don't you think?" He shook out his fur and slowed to a stop, looking back as Ember and Solo. They where still a good distance away, so it should have been fine, to talk at the moment.
"I have a harder time understanding Dragon calls then you, my dear friend…however, I cannot argue. Ya, Ya…she sounds very saddened. Maybe her kit died, or her mate was murdered."
Sin scoffed. "No imagination. I think she's hurt…move!" He barked suddenly, nudging at Abhorrence roughly.
Just like that, Solo reared on his hind legs and flung Ember back, a roaring, tangled up dragon screeching as she fell, smacking into the earth with a force that could shake the earth into bits. Sin and Aberrance barely missed getting hit, and as her blood oozed out, he grimaced, his snout wrinkled up in his disgust. It was a horrible sight, to see a dead dragon…Sin wondered what had injured the poor beast so, and sniffed, careful not to touch its ever toxic blood.
"I don't smell any old blood…Abhorrence…" He muttered, seeing her shiver and sit down, a dejected expression as she watched the poor beast suddenly make a soft sound, whining like no dragon should.
Ah, so the poor creature was not dead yet. Sin got closer, his ears pointed forward, to ear her desperate whispers. "She says…her baby…her mother…her sister…her brother and father and lover…all gone." He pulled back, ears pinning and tail swishing under his belly. "It was a massacre. Some sort of mass elimination of her clan."
Abhorrence hissed. "Who would do such a thing? Not even humans are so ruthless! Not even humans!"
"I don't know…she doesn't say...she just keep repeating over and over, they're gone, they're all gone." He sighed darkly, hearing her chanting slow to an end, her whining all but silent now. "Poor creature…such pain and agony the world must bare…so much so, the earth shall down in a sea of its own blood…"
