Sjinji made his way through the corrupted graveyard, disturbing no grave, the moss covered stones. The tiny bugs were crawling upon the unfortunate souls tomb stones where but a sign that they where given nourishment, often, a sign that the bug man could easily acknowledge because the bugs where his friend, and their behavior as known to him as the movement of muscle were to a warrior. Walking softly upon the corrupted grass towards the a village in the distance he kept his pace. His assignment where to purify the enemy, by whatever means, and in this dream place people would be corrupted by its mere presence, in brutal violent monsters that would with ease feast upon the bones of their comrades, something was doing this but what the religious fanatic would not know. Though he had never been here before he could feel the powers draft him in, slowly and brutally at every turn of opportunity bring him closer to the blood sheet to come.

His black clothing, hair and dark tan made him well hidden in the darkness of the night, from distance one would only se the silver trims of his coat. The linen cloth pants where dirty at their ends but other wise where unmarked, his shirt where in similar way as the pants without anything out of the ordinary, just instead of the dirt it was a bit sweaty, making it standard clothing for people of Linmotar. Though his coat could remind someone of a noble due to the silver trims where often used among nobles, the rest of his clothing said otherwise With his fast pace across the grass and vine covered layer upon the ground the host had covered the ground from the cemetery to the building with ease, giving one last glance about for anything suspicious. The full moon was visible through the rapidly approaching fog, giving the night little visibility if it was allowed to settle, but for now the wind was keeping it from settling to any degree that would consider bothersome.

An all too human chill went down the bug man’s spine as he took the first step into the village, to the naked eye one could only spot the vines and rotten wood. But the keen eye saw more, beneath the vines, leaves and moss, there where blood nurturing the vines and moss into survival, it would almost appear as if they maintained life on it. The blood was so dried into the wood of the porch that one might think it as dark colored but the serene mind of Sjinji suspected it of once being light tanned wood, made of the fine selection of wood found in Linmotar. Battle scars where all about the dark house, arrow markings, sword slashes and other markings that one might only question the origin type of weapon.

The bug man walked between the houses in an alley, when a voice entered his sanctioned mind.


Welcome to the lands of amusement, here you all have but a single duty, and that is to kill the enemy of witch you come upon. You will fight, for only in death will duty end. You will have allies, and you will know them, but only you will know your own allies, but make no mistakes, take not a ally for a foe, nor take a friend for ally or else it will cost you dearly. Fight for me, and be rewarded, entertain me and you will live, any other outcome will be the death of you.


So this is what we have become, gladiators for the amusement of Gods, when we suffer daily under the assault of divine guardians and the wickedness of corrupted people, of power hungry individuals, not enough that we struggle with survival, we haft to entertain gods with murder as well.

One of his scouts reported of an approach from behind and the host turned to meet the approaching threat but hesitated to attack, it was not an enemy, whatever the gods had done, he could not come to bear with an attack on this man, and so he could but only assume it was one of his allies. Apparently the gods had created a block preventing one from harming an ally.


“sing me a song of wolfs who smells fear and feast upon the coward, sing me a song of man who smells gold and feast upon his brother, such is our task, be the wolf and man, feast upon the enemy and brother alike, allies we are tonight.”

As he spoke a swarm the size of a human emerged from beneath his cloths, and they spread about, they where his scouts and he would not be ambushed.

Sssar awoke to blackness and when he slid open his eyes, he was greeted with the same. Only the moon above his seated form was evidence of his consciousness and it was followed by a cold wind that brought prickles to his tanned skin. His body temperature had dropped in seconds and he shivered uncontrollably - but more so at the fact that he was in an unfamiliar location.

His red eyes, although dim, were slowly adjusting to the darkness and the details around etched into the palette of dark blues and browns. He was in an alleyway between two dilapidated buildings, scarred by war and overrun by nature. Vines weaved in and out of deep cracks of the timber and stone exterior, fueled by blood nutrients that oozed from its root system.

Welcome to the lands of amusement...

The first words made Sssar jump to his feet, his heart skipping beats as adrenaline kicked to overdrive. The voice... was it behind him?

...here you all have but a single duty, and that is to kill the enemy of witch you come upon. You will fight, for only in death will duty end.

As he stood, the moonlight cast a shadow of his body onto the alley wall. Panic was formed into a soft mist that rose from his heavy exhalations. His heavy muscular structure of his upper body quivered with fear as his shaved head swiveled left and right. The gleam of four spikes announced his brandished right hand, clad in a spiked gauntlet that was ready to let fly at his 'foe'. 'Where are you...?' He hissed before his senses were drowned by the voice again.

You will have allies, and you will know them, but only you will know your own allies, but make no mistakes, take not a ally for a foe, nor take a friend for ally or else it will cost you dearly. Fight for me, and be rewarded, entertain me and you will live....

'Get me out of here...' He began to whimper as his lips parted in fear. This was not one of his visions that the Irezumi attempted to induce for the purposes of finding a Soul Creature, it was far too real, far too logical! His sharp features calmed as he came to the realisation that he was in a test that was transcendental and he had no choice to comply, otherwise...

....any other outcome will be the death of you.

Thud thud, thud thud …

The soft trotting of his white stallion below him shook Julian slightly left and right on the saddle, and he was having problems staying awake, his head falling forward now and then with the accompanying wave of his semi-long golden hair, which shone almost like true gold in the pleasant, warm afternoon sunlight. The air was thick and hard to inhale, every breath seemed to settle in his young muscles and numb them.

What’s happening? I ought to be staying awake thought the boy, confused, for he had no idea what could be causing this sudden fatigue. He had only just gone out for a ride and hadn’t encountered any physical hardships yet, had slept quite well even that night, so how was this happening? Regardless of the senselessness of it, such thoughts and questions were quickly driven out by the feeling of fatigue. The scene to the left and the right of the stony road, seemingly endless grass fields with the odd tree here and there, began to fade from view slowly, and they disappeared completely as Julian’s head tilted forward once more, and his eyelids closed over his brilliant blue eyes.

The moment he gave in to the sleep, he woke up from it again. Julian straightened into the saddle, startled by the sudden awakening and change of atmosphere. He looked around, lips pressed as he tried to grasp the situation.

“What the…?” he brought out faintly, frowning slightly as he looked around.

The horse neighed softly, shook its head and looked from the left to the right, at the barren landscape that stretched out around them. The teenager on the stallion’s back bent forward a little and patted the horse on it’s neck, whispering some soft words to calm the animal down in the darkness of night, in which the youth didn’t feel completely comfortable either, more because of the weirdness of the situation than a lack of bravery.

Still, when the voice spoke to him within his head the young noble felt a chill running down his spine. His horse described a nervous circle as he looked around the darkness. His eyes fell on a dark collection of houses in the distance which was all by all a much macabre sight.

Slaughter each other for your pleasure? That’s completely immoral!

Moral has nothing to do with it

Julian gulped. Somehow he had the feeling there would be no other way out of this than fight, and instinct always won it over moral.

Sssar’s thoughts would quickly be pulled towards survival. He would have to drive out his fear if he were to live on. For a large night raven had appeared up in the dark skies. His large black shape could clearly be distinguished against the white of the moon above as he circled around. The raven was shrieking loudly. Sssar couldn’t know, but this shrieking announced the death of the one who heard it and laid eyes on the raven simultaneously. It was inevitable. It would be so.

Locke: "A rustling of the wind. A creeping of the shadows. A flash in the dark. Your death draws near."


The assassin’s prayer was less than a whisper on the wind. The sound was easily driven out by the raven’s constant shrieking. He prowled upon his victims from the shadows. Locke was behind Sssar, back pressed against the wall of the bloody shack. Soon, fresh blood would cover the mouldy wood. Blood would reign supreme over this little place. He would see to it. One sole grey eye spied around the corner as the Dark Elf moved a little to the side. What a peculiar man. He hadn’t killed this before.

Locke: Way taller than me. Way more muscular, also. And that gauntlet seems to be of immeasurable quality. I’d better take him out quickly and cleanly.


Locke pulled back to hide. His long white hair was beautiful and clean, but not excellent for an assassin’s purposes. But was something he couldn’t change. He’d just have to be more careful not to be noticed. The raven was sure to have attracted Sssar’s attention by now. It was clearly unnatural, also because it was half a foot larger than a raven should be. He suddenly descended from the skies above with a fell and fluent swoop. His non-stop screeching reached the maximum volume the summoned creature could produce. The night raven flew straight for Sssar’s face. It kept its wings pressed against the sides for greater speed. In the raven’s eyes was determination. Of course, the ‘attack’ was only a diversion for the threat that came from the other side.

Locke: To the father I don’t know. To my mentor Tathar Vardamir. I don’t know this place or its purpose, but the victims I make here I dedicate to your honour.


None of his oaths told him to kill this Irezumi. That was contrary to what he usually did. But Locke was always so… angry in this place. The voice had come to him and told him to kill, and he would kill. It felt like duty, but he didn't know why. But the dream world left no room for logic. The thirst for fresh victims could only be quelled by blood. He fact he had been here before and knew not to fear death since it wasn’t real aided him. Locke jumped from cover at the point his raven should have been just about to reach Sssar.

His long black jacket waved around him as his tight, supple boots found support on the ground. The moonlight graced his light grey skin and the assassin’s mark on his forehead. Locke’s black clothes made him look like a shadow. And that was precisely what he was. A shadow of vengeance, of justice, of death. He launched his left arm forward with his fingers extended. His right hand grabbed around the beginning of his forearm to steady his aim. A dagger flew from his sleeve. The steel weapon went straight for Sssar.

Locke (smiling silently): Right between your double spine, mister.
