The little nymph grinned evilly with bloodlust, knowing full well that she would be able to slaughter more people side by side with Kain. The little woman flapped her wings at rapid speeds that dwarfed a Humming Bird, enchanting blue powder fluttered from her beating wings. Alexia shot up towards the sky in order to find the inn she and Kain were staying at, her little white eyes scanned the area and her mind focused in on Kain’s own energy. She felt dozens of different nearby energy signals, none of which were Kain’s for the simple fact they lacked the necessary power, and the different signals weren’t very unique due to the lack of anomalies in them. Alexia continued going through different beings until she finally felt it, she felt a massive explosion of power in her head and knew it was her master, however something was wrong. The obedient lover of Kain flew towards the exploding signal as fast as she could, speeding through everybody to get to her master. Her eyes were filled with concern with each passing second, she saw the window she left from however she also noticed some kind of black and white mass was lurching out of the window; tendrils flailed wildly in a state of mass pandemonium.
Alexia flew into the window and saw him, she saw Kain levitating in the air with chains wrapped around his arms. Kain’s arms were steaming from the power of the chains; the power was beyond overwhelming. No normal being would be able to handle that much of a power surge at one shot. Black and white flames were escaping Kain’s eyes in a painful outburst. He was re-balancing the darkness and light, seeing to it that there are absolutely no differences between that delicate balance of darkness and light. It was a process that required much of Kain’s mind and power and had the ability to tear him apart mentally if he wasn’t careful. He fell to the ground and clasped his blades; the deed was done, however he was mentally drained and needed help to stand. Alexia ran to his side and helped him stand up when she turned back into a normal size. After a quick peck on the lips, Kain sat down in a wooden seat. The vampire leaned forward and held his head in hands in pain.
“That was much more difficult than usual. The prisoners of the eternal prisons are becoming ever more hostile. They’ll prove most valuable in my campaign. Alexia, what information do you have for me about Kairon?”
Alexia sat down on Kain’s lap, her legs wrapped around the back part of the chair and her hands caressing his cheeks. The two of them engaged in a long, lustful, passionate kiss. Their hands maneuvered along their bodies, stroking arousing nerves that brought about more touching and kissing, sexual desire taking over the greater part of their consciousness. After a few moments of passion, Alexia broke the kiss and began to inform Kain.
“Apparently, one of Kairon’s highest officials; Marcus, is coming through tonight and is going to the city of Nosgoth. However, the only way in or out of that city is by being some kind of a Noble because only the rich are permitted entry. There’s a very famous boutique around here that I noticed earlier. It’s rather pricey though. But I know you Kain, you’ll find a way; you always do.”
Kain stood up after taking Alexia off of him and walked to his window, his scarred ageless face peered out opening and looked around towards the villagers’ plain, lost-in-their-own-worlds faces and tapped the spurs on his hands on the windowsill. Kain’s face warped itself into a look of deep contemplation and higher levels of concentration. Driblets of sweat trickled down his forehead along the massive protruding vein on the side of his temple.
“So he’s still alive is he? I was wondering what came of Marcus all those years ago, but it’s painfully obvious that little Marcus just doesn’t want to die even after his betrayal and abandonment of me. Oh well, at least I get to make that little worm cringe and beg for mercy but I doubt he’ll get it. Lying snake… Now, time for planning and questioning; first thing’s first, I must obtain clothing worthy of a Noble. Alexia, I’ve another task for you. Fly to Nosgoth, and fetch me the map of the city along with information regarding Marcus’ stay in the wealthy city. Afterwards, you need to bring me a map of this village along with the entrance and exit paths of Marcus’ entourage. From there, we plan. I could do this easy way, however the hard way is much more fun and far more entertaining.”
Kain turned around from the window violently and walked by Alexia to open the door. His hand reached out towards the doorknob and slowly twisted it, his bare scarred torso filled in the doorway before he turned his head slightly to both look back towards Alexia and find his cloak. He turned back towards the doorway after getting his cloak and merely told Alexia to hurry up and go, they had work to do. Alexia shrunk back down to her smaller size and flew out the window again to begin her flight over to Nosgoth while Kain walked down the long circular stairs of the inn.
After descending the stairs and leaving the inn, Kain threw his hood over his head and continued his walk towards the boutique. He walked through the dark, desolate streets of the small village that seemed more like a small city due to its maze-like structure, virtually never ending series of shops and cobblestone floors. A slight fog covered up parts of the village that Kain walked through, bandits, marauders, thieves, murders, and a cocktail of criminals hid behind each corner of the dark alleyways. This village resembled a village less and less, and resembled the slums more and more. After maneuvering through the alleys for what seemed like an hour, he finally arrived at the boutique.
The boutique was a relatively tall structure with fine glass windows. Manikins stood in the windows wearing male and female clothing. The clothing was elegant made from some of the finest fabrics on Variis. One of the outfits on display was worth several thousand dollars and had gold lining engraved in it. The shopkeeper looked at Kain through the window although his glasses fell down from his long crooked nose every few seconds. The shop was much larger than it looked from the outside. Hundreds of expensive outfits lined the walls of the boutique, varieties of different colors, styles and designs filled up the shop. Kain’s eyes saw so many different outfits, each one more enchanting than the last. His fingers walked along each outfit, separating all of them so the vampire can see what there was to wear.
Kain waltzed the back of the shop where he saw a beautiful black suit made of some elegant material that looked and felt like leather, although the inside was very soft and silky. The inside was white, and there was special white plating on the shoulders, and a thin 1-2 inch line of plating running down the forearm. The plating had an engraved insignia on it, the insignia of balance. There was a nice black silk shirt inside the jacket as well. The pants were also black and made from the same material that the jacket was, only had no plating. The boots were plated on the front, and had black leather straps on both sides that stuck out. Kain examined the noble’s outfit and smiled before taking it off the hanger. He turned around as the outfit hung over his arm and sauntered towards the exit before the owner called out to him.
“Excuse me young man, you need to pay for that, you can’t just walk out of a store without paying. That suit costs 10,000 gold pieces, and you don’t seem to have that much gold on you sir. How do you plan on paying?”
“Simple old man. You let me walk out of here without an issue, and I let you live. Show me defiance, and I send your table’s leg through your skull and keep you stuck to the wall. How about that?”
Kain grinned deviously with his fanged teeth and pressed his clawed fingers against the glass door until he heard a crossbow get cocked. The vampire turned his head to see the old man holding a crossbow with silver bullets aimed towards Kain’s head. The old man’s hands shook unsteadily with fear and sweat ran down his forehead along his brow. Kain glared at this old timer before simply sighing and attacking with lightning fast reflexes. Before he was even able to react, Kain grabbed the table, ripped the leg off and with the pointed edge rammed it through the old man’s skull, the makeshift steak crushed the old man’s skull and penetrated his skin slicing through brain and tissue. Due to the incredible attack initiated by Kain, the old man’s head was pinned against the wall, his limp body hanging on the table leg, the crossbow still firm in his hand. The scion fixed up his cloak and looked at the old man.
“I told you not to defy me, you just didn’t listen. Feeble-minded fool allowing your pride to take control of you as easily as it did is just disgusting. That’s what happens when you decide to rebel against your superiors, cretin.”
Kain leisurely left the boutique with a smile on his lips and blood his face. The outfit remained on his arm as he started back towards the inn to await the arrival of Alexia who went off on her mission of gathering the intelligence and maps for Kain. Phase one was complete, now it was time for phase two.
Alexia buzzed around the village to find the village counsel’s building in order to obtain the plans for Marcus’ entrance and exit from the small village. A small uncanny ability led her towards the building that was in the far corner of the village near the docks. She flew in through the window and flew as high as she was able to. She stuck to dark corners and hidden places, sneaking into a crack or two occasionally to avoid detection. She slinked into smaller crevices, being as undetectable as a shadow. Her mission did not permit bloodshed; her master Kain forced her into being virtuous.
Alexia continued maneuvering through the Counsel’s building and was close to accessing her destination and accomplishing her task. There were two heavily armored guards in the hallway, pacing back and forth doing their rounds. Alexia had to do something and she had to do it quickly. She grew into normal size and whistled towards them. The lumbering buffoons turned around holding their maces clumsily with stupid looks on their faces. Slobber dripped from their mouths and rolled down the armor, and they gave her a lustful smile
“Bones, lookit the pretty lady. Hi pretty lady, you want to have Crusher? Crusher show you good time, Crusher show you really good time.”
Alexia scoffed and huffed under her breath, “un educated dolts… So Crusher, you want to show me a good time? Come on over with Bones, so the two of you can really show me a good time”.
Bones and Crusher dropped their axes and started removing the armor on their torso. The metal clinked and clanked however before they reached the beautiful blue woman, her hand popped up, an eerie blue glow covered her raised arm. Her lips began to move when suddenly a giant blue energy based hand emerged that grabbed Bones and Crusher. The hand was covered in venom, however, it wasn’t a deadly toxin, it was the type of venom that slowly put them the sleep, and it began to render them unconscious. She held on and squeezed harder and hard, injecting them with more and more of the knockout toxin.
After the two of them stopped struggling, she released her grasp and walked through the hallway until she finally reached giant-double-doors. These doors led into Counsel’s main chamber where the town maps and village’s plans were, ironically, the map of Nosgoth of plans for Marcus were all there as well. Alexia examined documents a little bit more and discovered there would be a service change between the village and Nosgoth. When Marcus arrives in the village, several selected villagers would switch places with Marcus’ entourage and the plans were needed to direct them in the right direction for Marcus. These were excellent documents for Kain’s plans. She grinned slightly, took the documented plans and left the same way she entered. Her and Kain had much planning to do.
After finally getting what she needed. Alexia flew back towards the inn in the same pattern she left, dodging the same buildings and people who for some reason didn’t move and cut corners, went through tunnels created by rats and burrows by birds. Her white little eyes moved thousands of times per second to find her way, her photographic memory assisting her return. She desired to feel something though, the feel of death, to smell the flesh of a decaying corpse that was murdered by her hand, the hand of a creature possessing unmatched beauty and the most sadistic mind imaginable. The beautiful nymph grinned evilly, dark thoughts on her mind, thoughts of revenge, thoughts that would bend the mind of the most innocent being into a conniving, heartless beast. All was not right with Alexia, not right at all.
She arrived back at the Inn holding the plans in her hands. She flew in through the window and landed on a desk, her butt cushioned her descent on the oak wood desk. She crossed her long, thick legs and held the papers out to her master, Kain who was preoccupied with work he was doing (primarily doing pushups with gravity inducing field around him that increased his weight by over several billion times. His body heat was rising to dangerous levels; his sweat rolled down his forehead especially hastily and hit the floor like a bullet. His muscles contracted and pulsated with each agonizing movement. Blood pumped through his body, it nearly boiled with anticipation and heat. The sun’s invigorating rays were beaming on his naked back for what seemed like hours. He saw that Alexia was there and stopped his workout.
“I’m assuming those are the plans, is that correct Alexia?”
“Yep, these are the plans Kain, everyone was spared, although there were a few guards who needed to be… put to sleep.”
“Alexia, you better had not killed them. If you killed them I’m going to k-“
“My Lord, your worries are in vain, I spared them, they were simply rendered unconscious, you need not upset yourself with me.”
“Good girl.”
Kain walked over to her, gave her a quick kiss and took the plans from her soft delicate hands. Leaning against the window, he looked through the plans for a few minutes before taking out a feather and an ink container. He moved everything to a small worktable that was on the other side of the room. He sat down and wrote out his notes vigorously, circling things on the maps and writing out different locations and destinations. The once faded white map was now covered in blue and black with a most beautiful writing on it. Kain mumbled slight statements every few seconds as he wrote. Alexia stood on his right side, her hands held onto the table like support beams that propped her up. She looked over Kain’s plans with him. They were both incredible geniuses tactically. However their main flaw was their perfectionist attitude. If one calculation was off, they would develop an entirely new plan. Kain’s mind worked fast, too fast for any normal being to keep up with him.
After a few minutes of severe planning and guard placement along with the different shift changes, and guard routes. The entire thing was planned out perfectly, down to the direction the trees swayed. He stood up and made his way towards the shower where he stood for an hour, and cleaned up. He cleaned all the sweat and blood that was on his body. Alexia joined him halfway in. The two of them were strictly in a business state of mind. Despite their sexual appetites, they merely took a normal shower together and emerged from the steamy room. Kain and Alexia dried their drenched bodies off and got dressed.
He bore his newly acquired Noble’s suit, along with his two blades. Alexia created an elegant dress for her; it was black with Kain’s insignia on the lower leg in white. The sadistic couple was prepared for the events of the evening that would take place soon, blood would flow freely through that village, and the screams of pain and immeasurable agony would fill their ears like music.
