A necromancer's exploration into the spooky forest

(Zecarayus is unintentionally following the hidden path to savage skull, however the guards will stop him if he goes to far, but it is better for the guild members to stop him rather to prove they are indeed still around and in force. The members would not know zecarayus is a part of FT due to his aura matching the death in the forest and gloves covering his guild tattoo unless they take off his gloves. A simple 'go' will do the trick, but can be harmed if the member feels the need to get the point across. Zecarayus will retaliate if striked however, and cannot be hurted beyond the point of not walking out the woods, although likewise to the attacker)

Zecarayus walked in the forest with the reanimated remains of a wolf that followed him, his hood on making his face hard to see in the dark forest. He had decided that to take simon's advice and explore the new land instead of being in the guild all the time. He decided here was a nice place, since as he was told a lot of people died in these woods between a war of his guild and savage skull in the past, well nice for an necromancer. He figured the reputation of the dangerous beasts were true since he had a giant wolf lunge at him. But here...it's different. There are so many spirits that have stayed in this forest because of the death here is enormous! Not only that, but these spirits are submissive, meaning zecarayus can harness their energies much easier for his spells, which saved him by summoning the corpse of a nearby wolf and killed the attacking one in time. But it was curious to him, why were these spirits so submissive? He actually asked one, a man who died of having his limbs ripped off by a pack of wolves and laid on the ground where his bones rested. He only responded though, Lichborne. A name of someone maybe? he thought to himself, although it sounds like this lichborne could have been a necromancer due to the very word of lich being included in the name and with the spirits speaking so much about him. This was the same response he got from several other spirits he spoke to. Realizing he was only going to get the name, he decided just to keep the name in the back of his head.

Still though, these woods were excellent for zecarayus, not only could he see the particular bad spots by the larger concentrations of spirits, but also he can cast his spells easier here. I could actually come here more often and practice without hurting anyone, that would be great! he thought to himself happily. While he walked though, he realized their was a pattern in the spirits concentrations. While some paths in this forest obviously lead to dead, both figurative and literal dead ends, while other turns left to no or barely spirits haunting the grounds, leaving it to be safe to travel down. Unknowingly though, he was going deeper into the forest and by avoiding the literal "dead ends", he followed the path toward savage skull. He knew that dark guild members could be in these woods, so he wore gloves to cover his guild mark and planned to say that he was an explorer and not a guild member, although he did not how bad the relations between savage skull and fairy tail  actually were, otherwise he would have never entered these woods in the first place.

Rekka was going to have a great day as she grabbed the young girl close by her and moved close to speak in her ear. She had a few things to say like the rules if she could make it to a certain point she would be allowed to live. However the woods were full of traps she had set up in advance she knew exactly where they were and how to get someone to run into them.

"There are three rules if you do not agree you will die here and now along with the rest of your family. Now the first rule is simple if you can reach the meadow opening in the woods without being caught I will release you and your family. However, if you are caught you will die and your family will be turned into food for me to eat. Rule number two is I will give you a three minute head start, you better use it wisely, I can catch up to you and will kill you if I do. The third rule is simple if you managed to get freedom never mention this guild to anyone or what happened when I capture you will happen again and your family will all die this time."

The girl would nod as Rekka would drop her arm as the signal as the girl would begin to rush off from her, this was a guild hunt so many others were also trying to capture her. She would make sure she was the one to get her first however, she had so many fun things planned for this girl. After the three minutes had expired she would begin to chase the girl as she had her scent easily as a slayer her black wings folding back behind her as she rushed toward the girl. She would catch up to her in less then a minute smiling as her blade was pulled out and charging toward the girl. She could see her just ahead of herself as Rekka could hear some other SS mages close by but this was her prey as she sprang out the girl would see the man in front of her and begin to try to turn around. She had no clue this man was not part of this hunt and she thought she had been caught running right back toward Rekka.

She would stop looking at Rekka and stepping back toward the man as she looked up and got a wiff this man was not someone from SS or was not a member yet. Why was this man here all she knew was there was a trespasser close to the guild hall. She would let out a loud whistle letting the other SS mages know there was a intruder on their hunting grounds close to the guild.

"So who might I ask are you... I am pretty sure you are not part of my group so what are you doing in my hunting grounds. You seemed to have made the wrong turn and I guess the signs warning to stay away were not enough for you. I must say you must be a stupid fuck and lack any common sense to be anywhere near this place, now for you girl you will still have a chance to live based on what he is willing to do to save a life."

She would move grabbing the girl and holding her blade to the girls neck cutting ever so lightly to draw a little blood before licking the blood clean from the girls neck. Her black wings would spread out from her body as she looked at the man what would he do as she smiled, she was going to make the choice to flee very difficult for the man, if he ran this girl would die in the most painful way possible.

"You have two options, one is run and leave this innocent girl behind where I will slowly mutilate her and eventually she will die from the extreme amount of pain she suffered. The second choice is to surrender and instead you will be tortured, every time you make a noise during it however she will lose a limb. You have no way to escape you are already surrounded by other mages, and I can tell you these mages are not your friend and never will be."

She smiled waiting to see what he would do she was ready to use her magic at any time she had plenty of shadows to use with her slayer magic as she held the girl close any slight move to fight her and this girl would be dead in a instant as she ran her tongue along the girls ear lobe and smiled back at the man.

Zecarayus walked down the next path path when he heard footsteps approaching fast. The spirits around him lazily looked forward, they spoke saying another hunt. Zecarayus then saw the girl come out and stopped when she saw him, probably the undead wolf carcass scared her or the fact he was cloaked. "Wait!" he called out to her before rekka came into the clearing and captured the girl. Zecarayus, in honesty had never seen anyone like rekka before. The way the shadows danced around her and the, well the look of malicious intent in her eyes gave away that she was evil.

And then she spoke, asking about who he was and how bad of a decision it was to be here. This was obvious to him and could recall he was told something like this before he came to fiore. But here was different, and rekka made sure to emphasize this with the girl added into this.

"You have two options, one is run and leave this innocent girl behind where I will slowly mutilate her and eventually she will die from the extreme amount of pain she suffered. The second choice is to surrender and instead you will be tortured, every time you make a noise during it however she will lose a limb. You have no way to escape you are already surrounded by other mages, and I can tell you these mages are not your friend and never will be."

Zecarayus considered this, he had no idea what he got himself into besides the fact that he interrupted this hunt of theirs. What he did knew though, was that this evil woman spoke the truth...and lied at the same time. Even if you let go of the girl, she would die from taking a wrong path, which is easy to do here, he thought to himself. He knew also that she was a member of a dark guild by the fact she was not alone. There was one thing though that she, this lady, did not account for.
"Well, I am sorry for interrupting this...uh hunt, But I merely was wandering. And now it seems you want me to be a part of this. While I normally enjoy a good game I think that this game has to high of a risk for me. Oh but where are my manners? I..." he said as he gave a slight bow with one arm behind his back, "..am the spoiler of your fun." And with the hand behind his back had the spell and it cast without giving a sign except the sudden explosion that followed instantly from under rekka and the girl after he spoke. He then ordered the remains of the wolf to dive into the cloud of smoke, which the aim was for the undead wolf to rip the victim girl's throat out which would kill her instantly.

(((OOC: Rekka can still be affected by fear, its just that the chance of her being affected is 1/6, or rather call a number on the dice and see if it is rolled, if not then she only has to deal with the spell attack.)))

(((OOC2: Also the description of soulplosion changed to how it is SUPPOSE to work. Although nothing has to be changed in the thread because it was my mistake in describing the spell, so this description is how the spell activated this post and will be different from the next soulplosion move used later.)))

She watched as she knew the man was up to something but before she could even get a spell off suddenly his spell had been cancelled as one of her guild members had arrived it was that odd wolf girl who seemed to be growling at the man as she had placed a wall of ice in front of the wolf that had been charging at her. She pulled her blade out as she ran around the wall slicing the wolf in two and smiling at the man inn front of her, he dared to raise a hand toward her. She would raise her hands into the air as she would glare at the man he would suffer for this.

"You... tried to attack me... YOU STUPID DUMB PIECE OF SHIT TRIED TO ATTACK ME... I wont forgive you... oh no now you are going to get the full force of my attacks onto you."

She quickly formed from a shadow behind the man a large black tentacle as it would try to wrap around his body, if it seemed impossible it would instead smash him into the ground however this tentacle moved quite fast and coming from behind with no sound would make it hard to predict. The only clues he would have she used a spell was the fact a magic circle appeared under her but that did not show where the attack was coming from. She was angry he would feel her anger as she still held her sword in her hand the wolf he had summoned was completely obliterated as she would begin to laugh slowly at first before picking up the pace.

Spoiler:

This was not zecarayus's day. The first part that went bad was his spell messing up, it wasn't suppose to give off smoke but none the less it did. If that wasn't enough now his spell got cancelled by another member, someone who he had to assume was friends with this other attacker due to their angry expression, and he felt he couldn't use his spell for awhile. The third part was his companion getting obliterated before he could call it back to safety, which left him defense-less in hands of melee.

Then came the attack from the lady that made the fourth part of his bad day. Generally her whole speech of hating him for trying to attack her put him off as, well it was usual for the prey to fight back, kind of sucked since he considered himself as such. However it did a better job in distracting him then he tried as the tentacle scooped him up in the air, constricting him like an anaconda, leaving him vulnerable to the savage skull around him. His heart beating fast, all he could really do was look around to see what he could do to get himself out of this. The spirits however crowded around, they were taking bets to see how long zecarayus would live in the hands of the murderous girl.

'Rekka! Aoi! The Dread Hunt is over from a while now, I hope for your sakes that one of isn't damaging my guards again!'

Foreboding and dangerous the familiar condescending voice of their guild master popped up behind the two dark mages. Yet when turning around they would see that it wasn't the physical presence of their lord and master. But instead an archive projection in the form of a wide screen, that floated at the same height as a person would stand. And within that screen was the now curious face of Harrigan Crawford, who first had failed to notice the strange person. Who was bungling in the firm grip of one of Rekka's tendrils.

The man was a complete stranger, in fact he wasn't even part of the hunt. After all Harrigan always made sure to whom he captured and whom he selected to be out for a hunt. All the mages in the guild did, it was so they could single out and target a specific prey. Some looked for one of the stronger captivities so that they may provide them with a challenge. Others like Rekka for instance, sought out the weaker prey. They play with them, like a cat would do with a mouse. And there was off course the mages like Aoi, to whom hunting came all so natural.

'My, My isn't this intriguing. Anyone of you care to explain who this man might be?' Harrigan eventually said, as the screen started to levitate a few inches higher.
