The Darkness Encroaching

[Arke]

He watches the lights come on, but he lost sight of the monstocity as it entered the storefront. He curses, and decides to wait out here. This was a neutral market, after all. "What are you doing..." he mutters softly, and to no one in particular.

[Paxari]

He soon set to work making the darkness potion, causing corruption  wherever  it was spilt

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

She notices the lights come on in the shop. Hmm...guess he owns it... She thought to herself. She stopped beside a building and leaned her back against the wall of it, and sighed. She looks up when she hears a soft voice muttering "What are you doing..." and realizes that it's the coyote talking, but it seemed that he wasn't talking to anyone in particular. She shrugged and sighed. "This village is so boring." She said to herself as her wings stretched out for a minute and then folded back behind her. She was used to constant action so she was always bored when she came to the neutral villages and cities. Everything felt too slow.

[Arke]

Arke shrugs, shoulders his rifle, and in an acrobatic display comparable to any 12th century assassin, jumps down to ground level. Slowly, he enters the shop and is stunned to find the only living thing inside is an elderly looking human. "Umm, sir, I know this might sound a bit strange, but... er, did you see a demon come through here recently?"

[Paxari]

He laughs "Why no my boy, but i do happen to have a potion for you." He hands him a potion of darkness, and a potion  of light "Drink these both, you will gain more power than ever."

[Arke]

He eyes the potions suspiciously, his slightly paranoid nature showing itself. "What's the catch?" It was strange, the old man did not give him the feeling of something being just plain wrong he felt around the Dark, but something still felt off. And as always, the worst part to him was not knowing.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

She slaps her forehead when the coyote goes into the shop and she hears his question. "It's an ALCHEMY shop. Potions can do many things. Doesn't he know that?" She speaks to herself. Feeling that he might be tricked into something, she walks across the road and into the shop. She moves next to the coyote. "I wouldn't take those if I were you." She says to the coyote while examining the elderly looking human with narrowed eyes.

[Paxari]

He laughed again "Nothing gets past you does it young one?" "The Catch is, you have to shoot me with your rifle there, i do not believe that i have anything else to do here on this plain of existence."

[Arke]

He sighs. "Well I just picked the wrong day to go into town, didn't I?" He sets the potions, not so gently either, on a shelf beside him, and turns to the girl behind him. "C'mon, I'm not THAT stupid. You think I'd ever drink a free potion? No way."

[Paxari]

His joyful appearance disappears and he sits down, looking sad. "Well i would have guessed you wouldn't trust me, im sorry. Please leave my shop."

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

She looks at the coyote. "Well, I couldn't be too sure. I couldn't take the risk of somebody falling for something like that." She glances over at the elderly looking man out of the corner of her eye, then looks back at the coyote. "You can't trust anybody these days." She chuckles at the old man after he speaks, then moves for the door of the shop but still aware that something bad could still happen.

[Arke]

He turns for the exit as well, viewing the old man as harmless now that whatever trap he had laid had been foiled. "Look, it's not that I don't appreciate it. Trust me, I know just how bad things have gotten." He adjusts his rifle on his shoulder, sparing a glance back at the old man behind the counter.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

She opens the door, walks through, and holds it for him. "Oh, I didn't think you didn't appreciate it. Although, I don't need appreciation, I'm used to not getting it."

[Vince the Dark]

Name: Tiamat
Faction: The Light
Distinguishing features: Black jacket and a fiery temper
Race: Dragon
Weapons/abilities: Sharp claws, katana, fire breath.
Description: Turned down by his own kind to wonder the world alone, because of his temper and not obeying his masters.

Tiamat landed just outside the village. When he walked to the market place he sees an arctic wolf walking into the alchemy shop in a hurry. He wonders whats going on because this being a neutral village and all you never know whats going to happen. But before he can go to look the wolf is coming out with a coyote and it seems like nothing happened after all.

[Arke]

He shrugs, knowing all too well how ungrateful people could be. "Yeah. You save an entire village from a rampaging demon, narrowly escaping with your own life, and the next thing you know you're on the next horse out of town. And God forbid they should give you some sort of payment!"
