"You will learn your place mortal! But don't worry my dear shape shifter, I will deal with you shortly."

Diablo eyes Akuko down, still holding the maniacal smile across his face and with that the demon turns and walks out the door. He drags his sword behind him, taking his time to walk outside.

"I will feast upon thee before the day is done."

Diablo's breathing is erratic, his chest heaving in and out. His eyes fixated on where Tobias's eyes would be if his hat didn't block them. It was like he was staring into the man's soul, ready to devour it in a moments notice. The demon waited.. He would toy with his pray...

*Akuko growled as the demon walked away from her, but was thankful that she had a few moments to regroup.* 'Why did that stranger intervene?' she thought. 'I must follow and help him, it is the only way to stop this demon, he will not be able to do it alone!'

*She carefully shifted into a small housecat and padded cautiously after the demon, his scent buring in her nostrils.*

'I will never forget his scent and I will never forgive him if he takes the life of that stranger'

A man sits upon the roof of the Rust Wench Inn, scowling in dark contemplation upon the gathering numbers of fighters below him. He takes a moment to list the possible outcomes of his actions. After a few brief moments, he decides to remain quiet, holding his wand in his right hand and his pentangle in his left.

And he waits.

"Now that's very encouraging. I like to think that I would make a poor feast, but I guess you're telling me that I've got some meat on these bones,"

Tobias held Eden tight - he knew what he was dealing with. Something erratic, like chaos that has no bounds: It feeds on living and dead, and spreads like a plague.

He felt similar to it. The people he had killed - he had no way to atone for it, but at least he would help someone. But alas, it was time to dig.

"...but please satisfy my curiosity - what in God's name did that cat-girl do to you, demon-boy?"

"The bastet smells of cat fur, reeks of fear and mortality. The sweat that sits delicately on her skin assuages my nose that her flesh will taste sweet and succulent...." *Diablo turns to face Akuko* "And if she were a stronger foe..."

The demon laughed hysterically

Diablo regains his composure, for what little composure he actually had. His face was filled with smirks from his previous 'joke' about the woman. He readies his blade.

Konstantinos focuses his gaze upon the demon, but remains still. The cogs of infinite intelligence move with slow, precise movements, calculating the empending onslaught.

He waits. As one who has nothing else left to look forward to, he waits.

Wand in right, Pentangle in left. Tools of might an magick, armed and ready. He gathers his energy, the very energy of the universe, silently around himself.

And he waits, denying himself the choice to act thoughtlessly, to prove to himself and to the world that he is the greater warrior. He envisions every possible outcome for his actions, and chooses one.

And he waits.

The seven foot demon walks forward, his arms down. The sword in his right dragging on the ground, giving a true testament of its size. Diablo stops, just out of range for him or Tobias to reach.

"What say you mortal, are you the protector of the good and innocent? The lifter of evil? The gouger, the slasher of the black hearted?"

Tobias · *explodes* Age: 38 Gender: Joined: 17 Jan 2003

Tobias looked up at the demon - he was tall indeed. He never imagined him to be this tall, almost a full foot over him. His blade twitched - it was excited, yet afraid. It hadn't fought this kind of "thing," and in the back of his mind, the soothing voice that the sword gave him told him of something else that was amiss. But he had been asked a question, and he almost forgot to answer

"I am just a wanderer. Yet more importantly, I am something you would never understand. Some people have looked at me as a warrior of good. Others have looked at me as a monster, much like you."

Tobias smiled and gripped the sword tight,

"Devils are necessary sometimes. Not today.”

*Akuko surveyed the scene, and growled at the mocking tone of the demon. She shifted this time to her human form and knelt on the ground. She seemed to be deep in prayer and muttering what sounded like Arabic. The ground rumbled and a hilt of a sword rose from the earth. In the center of the hilt was a beautiful emerald green stone. Akuko, still mumbling, opened her cat eyes and one of her pupils disappeared completely. The emerald stone flashed and in the center of the stone was the pupil.*

Akuko blinked and removed the long silver sword carefully from the earth. 'Blessed be Bast' she said in English.*

*Akuko stood and dropped into a defensive stance holding the sword firmly in her right hand, ready and waiting. She would show this demon how strong she really was.*

"Arabic, is it? Then maybe you know one of my 'old' names, Iblis."

Diablo readied his blade, spun around and slung it at Akuko. The weapon came at here broad side, like a circle instead of head over end. The pure skill required to pull off such a feat was remarkable at best, but this wasn't a mere test of skill, it was a fight to the death. The blade's awkward way of being thrown ensured that the target couldn't just duck, and if it parried with a weapon of its own, the blade would recoil and most likely hit the person regardless. The only true escape would be to jump left or right and the blade's size ensured that would be no easy task. The demon still having momentum from his spin to face Akuko, used it to return his gaze towards Tobias. Now facing the man sword less he rushed in, claws and fangs bared. He gouged and sliced at the wanderer, the attacks were just provokers, they meant to kill or wound, but were aimed oddly, the demon was baiting the man to swing the way he wanted to, and if he did, he would exploit it.
