The night appears over the two traveling through the woods. As Damien proceeds ahead he finds a path. Tami skips behind him singings softly in a language that wasn’t familiar to him. Damien stood erect as he heads down the path, feeling the lost of cover provided by the trees as He fell back to walk beside Tami. The wind glides through the trees tossing his hair up to again reveal the jewel in his ear. The swirls dances lightly on the surface a distracting quality it picks up as they get closer to the Altars of Aeterniti.
Tami stops and freezes staring straight ahead. The wind seems to die down and stillness takes over the forest, as Damien stops to look back at her. Her red eyes were wide staring straight ahead as her body collapses. Damien lets out a guttural growl as he moves toward her looking at every area in view as his senses sharpen. The world stood still as he reaches toward the girls throat to find a pulse when a dagger flies out gazing the top of his hand and sticking in the earth by Tami.
Damien looks up at the source of the dagger and sees a woman not much taller than him standing in a black assassin suit covering everything but her eyes forehead and long light blue hair. “I do believe that child doesn’t belong to you.” she mutters softly while holding a dagger in her right hand holding it over her opposing shoulder. Damien rises slowly watching the woman carefully. “You are right I belong to the child.” he says as he steps back angling himself as he created a smaller target for the woman. The woman laughs, “What are you? Her captor?” she ask as she crouches down slightly in response to his movement.
Damien smiles as his green eyes shimmer and narrow on the mysterious woman. “I am her guardian by blood.” he says as he vanishes before the woman’s eyes. As she was only capable of human vision as she quickly puts the dagger in front of her as it disappears before her eyes. She looks up and she sees the man standing before Tami fingering the dagger. “You know for an assassin you are not all that fast.” he smiles as the girl grips her fist tightly. “What are you?” she ask as she pulls out another concealed blade. Damien grips the dagger so the blade laid flat on his wrist. “I am…” was all that escaped his lips as the woman charges in and forces her blade into his gut. He gasp and doubles forward. Pain exploding through his torso. “Poison.” he mutters as he steps back and feels the warm blade glide from his skin.
The woman smiles as she turns toward Tami and reaches down to lift her as Damien felt his body go numb. He screams and he moves again not as fast but certainly faster than any human as he grabs the woman’s wrist and yanks it back toward her shoulder causing her to dislocate her shoulder and stumble backwards as he stabs at the woman with the dagger he held. Though the dagger wasn’t poison, but it was just as lethal as he buries it into her ribs and turns toward Tami. He felt his core corrode as he lifts her into his arms careful not to get blood on her as he sprints forward.
On the path stood a desolated building, the doors stood open as a young woman bustles out with a broom and apron and begins to sweep as she hears a grunting noise. She looks down the road and sees a man carrying something in his arms. She continues to sweep as they came closer, the man appears to wobble as he ran and panting loudly. As he grew closer the panting turns into wheezing and suddenly Damien collapses before the shocked woman. His shoulders rising and falling fast as he moves the child toward her. “Please …Please help her.” he says as he looks up at the woman as she bends down to take the child and for the first time she saw Damien she was lost in his eyes. The green iris spinning and dazzling as his black hair curtains it, but soon she sees the blood dripping from his mouth. “I beg you help the girl. We were attacked please.” he pleas as he slips from the platform of the deck. Leaving Tami with the woman who takes her inside. Damien groans as the poison dances through his veins lighting them on fire as they scorch and tear through his blood into his muscles, until it became overwhelming and finally his eyes closed and his mind drifts away.
“Guardian….Guardian.” the voice mutters into his head as his mind swims toward it. The pain was dampened, but it still gripped his body deep into the ocean of sub consciousness. “Awaken Guardian, your love is waiting…” Damien felt the voice swing out toward him as he gropes to reach it. “Love?” he says softly his jaw feeling like its been unused for centuries. His pain digs its nails deep into him as he desperately tried to break out of it. “Yes Damien, she is waiting for you.” He pushes forward and suddenly his mind was overwhelmed with light blue hair tangling around him. He lets out a scream and suddenly he was sitting up screaming. Beside him the tavern woman shoots up looking around frantically. She was sleeping lightly on his arm till he had jostled her.
“Calm down, Calm down you are both safe.” she says reaching for his head as she pulled it toward her shoulder. Damien allows this as he was panting heavily and his muscles tense he then felt the wrapping around his abdomen that came up over his shoulder. He felt calmness fly through him as soon as the woman holds him. “Tami is fine she is sleeping, do not wake her.” she mumbles and Damien falls silent again
