Some time has passed since Raven had regained his memories, during that time, both Raven and Charlie had spent time training under Abaddon. Charlie… also left Raven on his own once Abaddon had returned to the Demon world. Once again, the Bête Noire was on his own.
We find Raven near a stream covered in what looked to be blood, Hedwig and Kumu by his side as always. Raven heard the buzzing static, and it was quite loud he covered his ears before falling to his knees. "W-What is this?" Raven muttered, once the static stopped. Taking his hands off of his ears, Raven could hear footsteps and the next thing he knew, he was looking down at two black shoes that had entered his sight.
Glancing up, Raven blinked as the Black Beast saw what had to be one of the tallest figures in his life, easily towering over some of the adults, even some of the demons that both Raven and Charlie fought, the figure wore a dark suit and a red tie, but the strangest thing about creature that stood in front of him wasn't its height, no it was the fact that it had no face. Just a Snow White head, devoid of any facial features.
Somehow Raven had the feeling the faceless creature was looking down at him despite that small obvious. Wait, fashionable suit. Looks like a tree. Has no face whatsoever. If Raven correct, the thing in front of him was the Slenderman. Oh shit.
"Slenderman…" The Bête Noire whispered, hair turning pink in case of a fight. The Slenderman tilted his head showing some surprise at the boy sitting before him, normally children would scream and run and yet, this child was staring at him, doing nothing. This was first time that this has happened to him over his countless millennia of existence.
This child had just killed two men, both of which were wizards. Raven wasn't scared of the faceless entity, no he was wary.
Seeing the pink blob coming out of its hiding spot, Slenderman looked at the teen, Raven felt the amusement coming off the creature, as if daring Raven to attack him.
Dashing forward, Raven had Kumu transform into its scythe. Raising the weapon, the Bête Noire slashed at Slenderman multiple timed, each attach was being evaded by the faceless entity. Mid swing of Raven's attack, Slenderman disappeared right before the scythe connected and reappeared a few feet away as if he teleported.
But now he looked at Raven in interest.
He was intrigued by the ability he showed and wondered if Raven was a part of the Wizarding World that hides itself from their non magical brethren.
Slenderman has had his few share of run-ins with a few of the fools of that live in the magical world and their deaths were either quick or slow depending on how much they pissed him off.
The faceless entity decided to toy with the Bête Noire as a tendril erupted from his back, charging at Raven with incredible speed, but Slenderman kept the tendril slow enough, to see what the teen would do.
Raven was caught off guard by the tendril as he sliced forward with Kumu, cutting into Slenderman's tendril, but there was no reaction from the faceless suit wearer, before another tendril shot out of the entity's back and wrapped itself around Raven's waist and threw him across the ground.
The teen struggled in the tendrils wrapped around him, even worse, the figure chuckled at the pointless fight. Okay, Raven had several questions, first how the hell could he talk? And why was he stalking him? Raven threw a glare at Slenderman as an invisible force shot forward, slamming into the tall figure, making him slide back a few feet.
The faceless figure didn't seem affected by the attack, his posture made him look amused at Raven's attempts to injure him. Slenderman gave a chuckle that echoed in Raven's mind "You are quite the interesting human, child" Slender's voice echoed making Raven blink "You can talk." The Bête Noire stated, scythe still in hand.
Slenderman chuckled again "Indeed. I am curious" Raven's eyebrow rose as "How so?"
"How could the saviour of magic also be its… hm how would Ben put it" Slenderman muttered before snapping his long fingers "Ah yes a "Wound in the Force" so to speak" Raven's pink eyes brightened for a moment "Are you calling me the Jedi Exile or Darth Nihilus? Can't be both." Raven said while Slender sighed and rubbed his temples.
"I have a proposal for you"
Raven put a hand on his hip "Oh? Is that right?" He asked
The faceless entity nodded "And what type of proposal are we talking about?"
"Come work for me, and your hunger for souls will be sated" Raven gained a thoughtful look on his face before turning to Kumu "What do you think?" Kumu let out a purr "Alright, we're both in agreement. But if you're lying, I'll take great pleasure in killing you." If Slenderman had a face, the grin on it would make someone scream in fear and horror "Then we have ourselves a deal"
