The night was young, the cresent moon making its first appearence in the sky, its beauty providing a false sense of security for the true events of tonight. Come on, you know want to. You know you want to taste the warm, fresh blood wet your throat, for it to quench your thirst. Don't deny it, I know you; you're a predator, not a protector. Kill. No!! No, I won't; it's wrong. That is not who I am! Ulfr argued back at the voice in his head. This voice had only recently made his residence in Ulfr's head; ever since he had sparred with Artemis he had been hearing it. That battle had caused Ulfr to scare himself a little; he had never experienced such bloodlust. The voice, which had introduced itself as Sithis, was continually trying to get Ulfr to just simply kill, and drown himself in the luxurious taste in the blood of his victimized prey. It had become a constant noise, always urging and tempting him to do the very things Ulfr had determined to not do. He didn't mind hunting animals for food, wolves did that; but killing the people of this land, whether they liked him or not, seemed too much like betrayal to him. He simply would not attack unprovoked. Yet the more Sithis urged, the more Ulfr wanted to give in, to rip and rend the flesh off of those refugees down below the tree Ulfr was perched in, the ones Sithis had been tempting Ulfr to attack for the past hour. Despite how much he wanted, he refused the voice. Angry, it shouted within the confines of Ulfr's mind You will taste their blood! Bathe in it! Delight in it! and with that, Ulfr's body began to morph into the powerful creature of the night that he was. Fur began to sprout from his left arm and the left side of his face. Fangs began to grow, and his nails were forming into claws capable of tearing through all but masterwork made metals. No!! he screamed as he tried fighting the transformation. Where some fur would go back from whence it came, more would sprout elsewhere. Agh! he exclaimed, and fell out of the tree, landing hard from the 47 foot drop. He tried raise up, grunting with pain as he did. He almost entirely werewolf at this point, and there was no way he would have the strength to fight Sithis for control at point. With blurred vision, he saw the terrified countenances of five children, two men, and three women. The men carried axes, while the children were huddled around the women. Run... Ulfr managed to voice before his muzzle elongated and prevented his use of humanoid language. He head went limp as darkness closed in on his world. ------Hours later------- Ulfr opened his eyes slowly, as they were heavy with sleep. His head was throbbing, and there was a warm, sticky, partially dry substance on his face. He raised his hand to his face to find it clawed and furry, and caked with blood. Ulfr rolled over on his side, and met his reflection in puddle of water. His gaze fell on werewolf's head with a muzzle covered in blood, dripping just a bit, but mostly dry. Ah, your awake Ulfr. Here, remember what we have done, take delight in our time together, ahah, ahahaha! Sithis's voice echoed in Ulfr's head as images flashed; he yelped in pain as he grabbed his head in his paws and writhed in pain. His body began to revert back to its human form, with him screaming in pain of the memories of what he had done. He saw one man's head smash into the back of a child, causing the child to fall limp on the ground. A woman was shredded and another was torn in half. An axe burrowed itself into Ulfr's left arm, as its wielder was flung into the night sky, but not before the wielder lost his head to the muzzle of a fearsome creature; and that creature was Ulfr. No, he used me to do it, I didn't do it, he did! Ulfr screamed in his head, begging his conscience to relieve him from his guilt. Sithis continued to laugh. -----Some time after that------ The cresent moon was high in the sky. Ulfr was sitting up on both knees clutching his bleeding left upper arm, crying. It wasn't that he was entirely sad. No, it was something much different. He was horrified, horrified that Sithis had been right. It had delighted him. |

A grin was plastered on his face, a dribble of blood caked on the edge of his cheek. Chaos had been out hunting tonight, feeding on a few passing merchants new to the area. It was there fault not his. But they were tasty, there soft skin and rich blood, it was nothing compared to elves though. He had the pleasure of tasting a moon elf the day before. But being hungery he would settle for just about anything. The red demon thought the night was over, his excitment over, so he found a nice perch in a tree and decided top take a small nap. Just ahead was one of the many refugee camps held up here, just in case he needed a late night meal. His eyes were almost closed when the air filled with screams and shreaks of terror and pain. Jolted forward he eyed the refugee camp down below. Fires were burning and yelling was echoing out from the small encampment. He wanted to know what was causing so much pain with out him. As the night went on he watched as a ravaged beast slaughtered and killed all of the campers. Blood littered the grass and the torn tents, a man in torn clothing lay in the grass, unconcious. ---------------------------------------Few hours later--------------------------------------- The man came to, looking around trying to figure out what had happened. Chaos stood from the rock he had rested on and clapped, walking right at the man. That was a very nice show you put on there, a fine job indeed. You had those little kiddies running for their lifes. But no the big bad wolf was not gonna let them get away huh! He stopped clapping and walked forward, kneeling down next to the man he smiled, a foul stench of death escaping his gritty mouth. So who are you, a derabged killer vent on blood thirst, or a venge full vigilanty, trying to redeem yourself? Ehh either way i like your killing technique. |

Clap. Clap. Clap. Ulfr looked up to see red man kneeling before him, praising him for the slaughtering that Sithis had performed. He was vaguely familiar... This one respects our work, he is a comrade in the lust for blood; let us join with him, and harvest havoc! Skin you Sithis, Ulfr thought as he stood, still holding his left arm. He looked straight into the eyes of the one before him, his tears had stopped, and Ulfr was solemn. Who am I, you ask? I... am a man afraid of my own power. Somehow, some part of me has developed its own mind, and it betrays my very nature. Or perhaps it is a foreign force, invading me. Either way, what you saw before was not my doing. Your compliments go to the one known as Sithis, the very embodiment of vendetta and bloodlust. Ulfr stated, his eyes full of regret and purpose. His hand glowed green as he muttered Heal, mending the gash in his arm. Ulfr didn't know how the rest of tonight would go, but if he had to, he could high tail it out of here. But he knew this one from somewhere, from something; but what? |

Chaos sat there kneeling, listning to the mans words as they left his mouth. Apparently it was not him that had committed the murder he had witnessed, but something inside him that controled his will. This sadend chaos a bit, for he was hopeing this man was a cold blooded killer like himself. But what disappoinyed him the most was the way this man sounded. He acted and sounded like he was sad, sorry for what he had done. So are you telling me you didnt want to kill all those people, that it was only a accident that something posseing you did? Well.....Thats Bull[removed]! I was hopeing youd join me in killing the next camp over, but if your some pansy ass whimp, ill just go back the way i came and cause my own destruction. Chaos stood, then turned back to face the man. Or i could just kill you myself, end this all right now. |

I don't think your statement waent over too well with this one. Perhaps you should let me take over? No, there is no way I'd let take over again, not after what you did. Ulfr, it would be in your interest to befriend this one, if only for the sake of learning his strengths and weaknesses. And if you let me do the talking, you could learn these things, and if you ever felt strongly enough about the subject, it would be easier for you to fight him. Besides, we, okay fine, I probably did those refugees a favor, putting them out of their misery. Ulfr frowned a little before answering. Fine. But one wrong move... Understood, and no worries, I'll handle things. Sithis responded, as Ulfr relinquished enough control to let Sithis function. Let me introduce myself, my red comrade; I am Sithis, a demon of vendetta and bloodlust. My host gave an apt introduction, but I should annouce myself, should I not? Aha, let me see what you are capable of, and let me return the favor of compliments of our abilities! Sithis excitedly exclaimed, attempting to hold true to his statement to Ulfr. He might be a demon, but not a liar. But he did have plans for Ulfr, and oh what plans they were... |

Chaos stood for a minuet listning to this man. Maybe he was tryin got save himself by ploying useless excuses or what, but he was slightly amuzed. But then the mans voice changed, grew deeper and filled with the want for death. Chao scould tell this was a true demon. For somereason they wanted to see his power, what he was capiable of doing. Chaos Just shruged as he smiled again. What the hell, not like i have anything better to do. Two new arms sprouted from under his first two arms, looking exactly like his original arms. Along with the apperance of two new arms came the sounds of cracking and snapping, his bones snapping from their joints. He had activated both of the enchanted tattoos he had, which allowed for the growth of new arms and the ability to bend and move as if his bones had no sockets. Fancy huh, and wanna know what else, if i got ahold of you or anything else i could easily snap them like a twig. |

The one before them grew two more arms, along with snapping and poping sounds, most likely from the new growth. Fancy indeed, comrade. Twigs, you say? Well, there is the tree behind us, and we could go for some firewood and toothpicks; I think we have some child left inbetween our teeth, Ahahahahaha! Sithis cackled. He stood aside with his hand held towards the tree that they had fallen out of earlier. Thinking for a moment, Sithis was surprised that Ulfr hadn't anything to say about his toothpick comment. Investigating revealed to him that Ulfr had fallen into a subconscious sleep, oblivious to the outside world. No doubt exhausted from the emotional trauma he had experienced. Sleep well, Ulfr Even though Sithis was a demon, he still held some compassion for his host. After all, it was only natural to care for oneself, and essentially he was Ulfr. Besides, how many demons luck out and get a werewolf for a host? |

Chaos stood there rubbing his chin. He eyed the tree the man pointed to then diverted his gaze back to his company. Chaos wasnt one for knocking down trees and making fire wood, after all he could send this entire wood up in blazes just by sneezing. But he figured what else was there to do, so he took in a deep breath and walked up to the tree. So you wan tthis tree down huh? ok ok i can do that. Chaos put one foot agaisnt the tree, to balance himself and shift his weight onto the tree. Then he placed the palms of his first two hands agaisnt the tree and started to push. He groaned for a minuet, teeth clenched but nothing happining. Then witha swift movement his second twe arms formed fist, gloved in his guantlets, and like lightning they struck the bottem of the tree, tearing several inchs off of the bark and the wood itself. Then with a mighty push the knocked the tree down, sending it crashing to the ground below. Birds fluttered off as the crack of wood echoed in the air. Climbing up onto its fallen trunk chaos placed a palm to the bark and muttered something. A tiny spark of fire eurpted from his hand, catching the tree on fire. A heave and a jump landed chaos next to his new...friend. The tree behind him slowly going up in flames. |

Sithis smiled at the display, and eyed the gauntlets upon the hands of the red one with envy. What, no toothpicks? Oh well then, I'll just use my, or rather Ulfr's, dagger, Ahaha Sithis chuckled as he grabbed the dagger from his right boot, and began to use it as a rather deadly makeshift toothpick. Perhaps such a large fire would alert any local authorities? What say we douse it a little, hmm? Sithis asked, a little amused, wondering if one the before him would want to avoid a fight with guards. He didn't think he would avoid it, but still a confirmation would allow for more accurate judgement. Oh, and even though you have power, you seem to either lack formalities, or perhaps they hadn't even crossed your mind? My point, is that I've introduced myself, but you have not. Would you permit me a name my comrade, hmm? Sithis asked, still sounding amused, wondering what name would reach his ears as an answer to his question. Most likely a fitting name of course. |

Chaos was starting to think that this demon before him was not all he was cracked up to be. After all he never met a demon that was afraid of guards showing up, or one that was formal and liked introduction. But whatever, it couldnt be helped. Just call me chaos, and no, i dont want to put it out. I dont give a damn if the entire empire comes to get us, ill show them the might of chaos. In fact i think ill make it bigger. Chos turned back to the tree, where the was more trees behind it. He clapped all four of his hands together, aiming at the army of trees before him. With a rush a wave of fire blasted at the trees, incenerating them on contact. He stood back and brushed his hands off like he was proud of what he had done. |

Oh no, comrade, I just wanted to make sure you were willing to have some real fun! Ahahahaha! Sithis stood and listened to sounds of approaching guards, there hetic cries, demanding water buckets for the raging fire. A fruitless attempt at this point. The only thing that would put this out would be the new spell that Ulfr had recently learned. Slowly, Sithis began to take notice of another sound; whimpering. Chaos, do you hear that, that whimpering? Sounds like a small child to me. Perhaps a snack for you, as I have already ate, as you saw earlier,Sithis stated as a grin grew on his face as he talked. It was the the same wolfish grin of Ulfr's, only it was... darker, more sinister. Tonight should prove very interesting, don't you think comrade? |

Chaos chuckled at sithis, he found it funny that a self claimed demon was scared of the comeing guards, but maybe he wasnt. Chaos saw the fear in the mans face, but also the evil intent, the hatred. Well the guards can come all they want! ill tear them all to shreds, there blodd will soak the grass and the cracking of their bones will fill the air.With a mighty roar chaos lifted his great cutter from his back and smashed it to the ground. Suddenly chaos heard whimpering, which sithis soon pointed out. With a grin chaos rushed towards some bushs, and jammed hsi hand into them. Pulling out a small boy, about nine years old. With the boy hanging in chaos grip, he turened to sithis. Your call, what do we do with this little scamp. |

Sithis's mouth curled into a sinister smile as Chaos lifted a small, whimpering, helpless boy, dangling in his red hand of death, and he asked what Sithis what they would do with him. Well comrade, I don't know about you, but I could go for a snack right about now, hmm? Aha, Sithis chuckled as the child cried out in fear and began to beg for mercy. But the only one that would give mercy to him would be Ulfr, and he was resting deep within his mind, and Sithis was in complete control tonight. Perhaps he could convince Ulfr to see things his way. |

With a evil twisted grin Chaos held on to the boy with his left hand, and lifted hsi right hand to grab the boy by his feet. If your sure, dont wanna get blood on your fine cloths there. HAHAHA! With a mighty tug the boy ripped in two, blood splashing all over chaos, the grass under his feet now stained with the childs blood. Spreading his arms he held a half of the child in each hand. Oh do i love to hear them scream!Lifting the top half to his mouth chaos took a mighty bite off the top of his head, more blood gushing down his cheeks and onto his chest. He lifted the other half to the man before him, offering it as a gift of their friendship. |

Ah, thank you comrade, I may have ate, but perhaps I have room for desert, ahaha. Sithis replied with a sinister glee as he took the offered half of the child, just as guards appeared before them. Well, it seems we have guests Chaos. Would you like something to eat? he asked the guards, ripping the legs in two, holding one in each hand. He held the right leg in his right, holding it before him, offering it to the guards. Get them! the captain, or at least who Sithis presumed to be the captain, shouted at the others, who hesitantly charged the two demons. That is just plain rude. Allow me to teach you some manners gentlemen, Sithis said as he swung the left leg and crushed the skull of the closest gaurd. With another swing of the arm he caught another under teh chin with the right leg, with which he then twirled, catching another in the chest. A gaurd to his left stabbed at him, and Sithi brought the remaining leg up, catching the blade in the flesh, then twisted it, pulling the sword from the man's hands. Sithis grabbed the man's trachea in his right hand and lifted him. The man groped at the hand, trying to free himself from the unyielding grip. With dark glee in his eyes and a smile so sinister the air seemed to chill from it, Sithis squeezed and ripped the man's throat out, showering himself with a fountain of blood. helifted the body with his left hnd and tossed it at thre other guards standing next to the presumed captain, killing them from the impact. There was only about ten more remaining, including the suspected captain. You want those? Sithis asked Chaos, as he licked the blood on his hands. |
