Shea tugged on Praxis's arm, winking once at him as they turned around. "You can find General Terom at the last room down that hall," she said poiting down the hall as they walked towards a door. She ushered him out, closing it behind them.

She turned to him, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. "Your so mean to new people..."

Praxis raised an eyebrow. "Why do you object to the way I treated them?"

Shea smiled, biting his bottom lip slightly as she kissed him again. "I don't object," she told him, smiling as she waved her hand, the walls disappearing around them to reveal the flat walless sufuce of the top of the tower.

"So the Gods can see us better," she whispered in his ear.

He was powerless to resist the overture. Something powerful, primal, of the earth wanted this women, wanted her body. He sensed a power in her he never felt before, and he wanted to control it more than anything. He would rip apart anything in his way to get it, batter down any fotresss, invade, dominate and claim the prize as his own. Ripping apart her clothing with his claws as if it was his enemy, he exclaimed "Let's rub it their faces. You belong to me, NOT them!"

Shea smiled, proud of his defiance, hugging close to him to keep her body warm from the wind. She thought that laying on the cold stone wouldn't be to comfortable, with a wave of her hand a fur blanket appeared on the stone floor. She broke away from him for a moment to lay down on it, beckoning him down to her.

The sight of her naked form forther emboldened him. His heart pounded, and his pants became uncomfortable, but he could feel the blood coarsing rapidly throughout his body. He felt more powerful than he ever did before. His eyes glowed bright green with unholy light under the dark sky and breathing heavily with desire he positioned himself hovering on top of her. Running his hands over every inch of her body from her waist up to her hair, he exclaimed in almost a pleasure-induced trance, "I want you, and I will have you."

The sight of her naked form forther emboldened him. His heart pounded, and his once-loose fitting robe became uncomfortable, but he could feel the blood coarsing rapidly throughout his body. He felt more powerful than he ever did before. His eyes glowed bright green with unholy light under the dark sky and breathing heavily with desire he positioned himself hovering on top of her. Running his hands over every inch of her body from her waist up to her hair, he exclaimed in almost a pleasure-induced trance, "I want you, and I will have you." Sighing loudly, his robes burst into a blazing green flame, immolating them.

Shea kissed him, her hands lightly touching his face. "You have me," she whispered in his ear, the wind blowing feircly, her hair floating around like flames. "I am yours... Not theres... yours." She told him, though in exchange she wanted him to be hers.

"I want you..." her eyes, though dark, glowed with the power that flooded through her. "And I will have you."

As the fire sourounding dimmed Praxis lowered himselves towards her, until they both were cloaked in darkness.

Shea had fallen a sleep, her head lying on Praxis chest. They were covered in the fur blanket. She didn't mean to fall a sleep outside, something very dangerous in her position. The sun was rising in the east, the clouds parting and pink light filling the sky.

Since sunlight lasted how ever long she slept the sun rose quickly, and if she didn't wake up or someone got her off the roof in time she would be burned.

Praxis lay awake the whole time. He wasn't fond of sleep, and being a demon he felt no need for it either. He rather directed his thoughts inwards. The was something about last night that wasn't natural for him. The surge of power and his sudden desire for Shea. He wondered if this desire came from him, or was it something else driving him to be with Shea. He wondered if he had fallen victim to one of her spells and he was doubting his control over the situation. Most of all he needed to be alone so he could think clearly. He needed to distance himself from the passion. He started to get up, but he then noticed the weight on his chest. Cursing inside his head he started to lie back down, but he then noticed the sunlight. Caught in a pickle, he teleported the two of them to Sheas bed. He then carefully levitated Shea above him and he slipped a pillow underneath as he sneaked away.

Shea rolled over, pulling the blanket closer to her and sighing comfortably. In her sleep she almost look innocent, though it was an illusion. Her mind was void of dreams or anything, just empty sleep. As the sun rose the gargoyls moved the thick curtains across the open window that led to the balcony.

Praxis found himself in the deepest, darkest part of Arken's stronghold. It was a place long-forgotten since the time of Shea's mother and a place Praxis hoped only he knew about. It was here he hoped to find his precious solitude, but as he started to meditate he noticed a lingering feeling he hadn't felt in a long time. His skin felt as if it was both freezing and being consumed by fire at the same time. He could feel his own heart beat and blood coarse through his veins, and time seemed to slow down as well as his heart beat. As this all happened, he knew exactly what was happening, Death was close by and was watching him.

Shea awoke slowly to the feel of a cold hand gluiding up her bare leg as she laid on her side. She felt it as light finger tips grazing over her skin. Her eyes opened as she knew it was Praxis. A slight smile came to her lips as she rolled over to greet him. But, when she rolled over she didn't find Praxis. She didn't find anyone at all.

She looked around the room and found no one, not a single person was in the room with her. She climbed off the bed, wrapping her thin robe around her body as she wondered about the room, the curtains opening to reveal the setting sun.

Praxis remained motionless, focusing his mind to prepare to meet the god of Death. As he did this, a thick white fog started to creep into the dank, dark, room. It was a large shrine where Shea's mother used to engage in her darkest rituals but has long since been empty. The fog built up around him, yet Praxis remained still. Finally, when the room was completely filled with fog he opened his eyes, Irises glowing brightly green and casting the nearby fog in a green hue.

"Hello...old friend," Praxis calmly called out.

THe fog swirled revealing a tall black figure walking towards him, armed with an enormace scythe made of bone, and clothed in a plain black hooded robe which hid both its body and face from view.

The figure remained silent. Praxis half-heartedly continued, "What brings you from the Abyss?"

The figure replied in a harsh whisper, "To take back what belongs to me before Verin destroys you," and he followed that with a quick slash of his scythe....
