As Reyky stepped out into the city of the embodiments, he was quite surprised at what he saw. If this is hell, he thought, No wonder there are so many villains.

Far off upon one of the walls surrounding a nearby building sat a girl who seemed to be playing with a thin metal chain which was attached to two frail and skinny dogs who looked like they had been beaten, mutts with bruises and fur falling out. The dogs had their teeth barred and were growling while the girl just sat there watching and laughed. She gave the chain a quick tug which made the dog on the right yelp in pain and gave the dog on the let the opportunity to attack the fallen one. When this happened, the girl jumped down off the wall and gave a swift kick to both of the dogs causing them to forget their fighting and cower together in fear.
This act just seemed to make the girl mad. "Not like that!" The girl expressed in rage and stomped her foot. "You're supposed to kill each other! Stupid animals!" The girl crossed her arms and glared down at the two puppies who struggled to get up and run away.
-
Reykjavik looked angrily at the embodiment of Treachery; the embodiment who had assisted Heartbreak in the destruction of Westhot. His partner in crime, his associate in the murder of Naralia. Just the sight of her mad Reyky's temperate raise as he said rather clichely, "You."
-
The girl, Treachery as she was known by most as, looked up at Reykjavik's words. "Hey..." Treachery surveyed him with your eyes, "Aren't you that brat that was with that other brat that Heartbreak killed?" The girl smirked and laughed, "I guess our former master left a few for us to play with. Too bad for you, I'm busy." With that, she turned back around to the dogs and snapped the chain, accompanying the motion with a jolt of lightning through the chains.
Crying out in painful barks, the dogs quivered as they gasped for their breath, barely alive after nearly being electrocuted. This just made the girl laugh more. "After all, Treachery is my name, and betrayal is my game." This declaration was given to Reykjavik despite her former comment on being too busy for him. She knelt down and picked up one of the dogs by the scruff of its neck and held it out to Reykjavik, blood dripping from the poor dogs ears, nose, and mouth, along with its bruises which had turned a sickly black color. "Want it?"
-
He paused for a moment, then said with utter hate, "Yes."
Reyky pulled Naralia's gun out and a golden blade of energy used it. He swung at the chains the dogs were held by.
-
"Too bad!" Treachery jumped out of the way as easy as if she was doing gymnastics, the puppy still in hand and the chain still attached to the other dog. With the puppy in one hand she used her other hand to reach over and grasp the bleeding dog by its neck. One yank and several whining pitiful cries later, the dogs head had been ripped clean off of the body, a puddle of blood forming from the pouring juices of the carcass.
"Want the other one?" Treachery gave a smile as she motioned to the other dog with her eyes and dropped the two halves of the first puppy.
-
Reyky stared, horrified, at the pieces of the dog, shaking slightly. With an angry ege, he asked, "Do I get to choose how many pieces he's in?"
-
The anger would be intensified just by being near close to Treachery as her embodiment power was just that, Treachery, to betray to give into the path of revenge. For Reyky this would be the worst emotion to handle given his current goal with finding Heartbreak and Treachery somewhat knew that in his reactions to her mentioning his friend.
"Sorry, I don't take requests." And with that simple statement the other dog was ripped a part into bits and pieces, blood splattering everywhere. The head of the last dog rolled to the feet of Reyky. "So any reason you're here?" Treachery jumped back and laughed.
-
Blood spattered across Reyky's face. He looked down at the dog's head, posture still as a statue during an earthquake. His eyes lifted to meet Treachery's, and lucky for her, looks couldn't kill.
"Take a wild guess," he said under his breath.
-
OOC: 3 day rule. Treachery dies. :P
-
(You didn't attack her so there's nothing to 3 day rule moron. ALSO I posted that I would be BUSY AND HIATUS THIS WEEK)
-
OOC: Hence the :P
-
"Treachery, play nice," a laid back yet deep voice as Heartbreak appeared, the top of his long, white hair covered by his viking hat. His eyes seemed set not on the kid, almost as if he didn't even notice this newcomer, but instead on Treachery. Heartbreak gave her a smirk, declaring, "You know the rules. We're not allowed to touch them."
-
The emotions Reyky got from the beast were ones he would eternally recognize. However this time he would not cower in a Ferris Wheel cart as he faced Heartbreak. He had grown stronger emotionally since his last encounter. And unlike last time, he now had a purpose for his confrontation.
-
OOC: Well, magic is gone, sooooo......
It suddenly felt like a veil was lifted from Reyky. His emotions returned to normal. As all magic vanished from the area, the removal of the embodiments' powers would greatly overshadow that of his weapon and himself, to the point where he wouldn't even notice they were missing. Reyky decided it was probably a deliberate move of the embodiments to 'not touch' him, but he decided to maximize the moment nonetheless.
"You wouldn't be able to if you wanted to," said Reyky, stepping just inches away from Heartbreak's eyes and giving an intimidating glare.
Of coarse Reyky was intending to be making a boast on his speed and strength, but unknowingly he had implied that he had the power to strip Heartbreak and Treachery of their magic.
-
(Treachery and Heartbreak are embodiments, aka forces. Their magic may be gone but their power over their forces of treachery and heartbreak would still be there as forces aren't magic.)
-
OOC: Oh, well, um, that chances things a bit.
Reyky found it ironic that just after being told that he wasn't allowed to be touched that the emotion's being thrust upon him just became more intense. You see, the magic gun of Naralia's was no longer combating it's effects for some reason. It felt like any other magic in him was gone now to. Probably something they're doing to me, he thought. Reyky felt like curling into a ball and crying, but he wasn't willing to give up. Reyky was one determined little Zarethian, and so he would show in his face. He wouldn't let one once of sorrow enter, rather he would fuel his anger, and force it to hold his face in the one position. He thus stepped up to Heartbreak, three inches from his eyes, and said, "You wouldn't be able to if you wanted to." A tear fell down his cheek.
-
OOC: HIK... Post.
-
"Oh I didn't touch him, Heartbreak. We were merely playing a game. I was just seeing how long he would last," though she said this, Treachery looked as if she was pouting. How dare he ruin her fun! "Besides, he's here for you. Something about some girl you killed. His mother, or was it aunt?" Treachery shook her head, "Whoever it was he seems to want revenge. How delightful. That's my area of expertise after all," she smiled and gave the the chain a small flick to clean it of the blood from the dogs.
-
"Listen, kid. Get lost. I can't do a thing to touch you. Not unless you attack me first. I'd advise against it. Unless you wanna join that friends of yours," Heartbreak replied. He looked over at Treachery, eyes alert as the magic in the area suddenly was suppressed. "Did you feel that?"
-
Reyky bluffed a smile. Droplets were still forming in his eyes, but he wanted to try and scare the Embodiments.
-
Treachery glanced to Heartbreak a bit surprised and nodded, "Yeah.. wonder what it was..." She then looked back at Reyky, "Better listen to him kid, don't want to lose your life do you?" She smirked. "After all, you have a high potential for revenge. Stick around too long and we won't have to play by the rules."
-
"Shh!" Heartbreak hissed, "Don't talk that way!"
Slowly, black shadows began to surround the three, sliding across the ground, darkness embracing the two embodiments... It was as if they were being watched. Heartbreak glared at the dark shadows on the ground, suspiciously, and in a moment, they vanished, off to their own business. Heartbreak seemed to relax when they vanished, glancing at Reyky once again...
"I said scram, kid."
-
"No."
-
"Fine," Heartbreak replied, "We can do this all day."
He sat next to Treachery and simply sat still, doing nothing.
-
Treachery on the other hand reached forward and snatched the head of the beheaded dog off the ground in front of Reyky and sat down as well, fumbling around with the blood-soaked head. Using her fingernail, she lightly scraped the eyelid open and then popped one of the eyes out, watching as it rolled to the ground.
-
Reyky cringed.
-
Heartbreak sighed, eyeing Reyky down intently. Heartbreak had been rather bored lately. He hadn't had much of a job, after all. Everyone was falling in love for some reason. He needed to find a hobby.
-
Picking up the fallen eyeball, Treachery dropped the rest of the head then popped the eyeball in her mouth, chewing it like gum. After a yawn, she jumped up and started playing jumprope with her chain, making it quite obvious that she was bored.
-
Heartbreak sighed a deep sigh of boredom. He knew that this was going to be an uneventful day.
-
Reyky walked away.
OOC: K2, I think you sent me on a dead end.
-
Treachery grumbled as Reyky walked away, she stopped her jumproping and gave a loud groan. "Can't we just like cut off his ear or something? I'm sure he doesn't need his ear. And it's not killing so it's not breaking any rule!" She dropped her chain and stared after Reyky.
-
"In time," Heartbreak grumbled, "In time."
