_____What was more fun then hunting someone who was so used to doing the hunting themselves? Alexandra could not explain it as she sat on the cliff ledge overlooking the small valley where a home had been built. The owner and current resident was the woman's prey today and one she felt would likely be the toughest challenge to date since her reawakening. The woman had been around a long time, almost enough to have seen first hand what Alexandra was able to do, though a century to late but the raw story before it was watered down was likely able to grace her young ears and ring to this day.

_____If it did not hunt the woman all this time it seemed to have started recently as Alexandra washed the elvish woman set down another perimeter post and wrap her string if chimes along it. The woman was setting up, knowing from the rumors Alexandra had let spread that she was coming to reclaim something the woman had that belonged to the reaper. Somewhere, either within the house or locked away in the head of the woman was where Alexandra could find the doorway pieces that haunted her dreams as of late. It was annoying to say the least her majesty had started to talk, but her words only focused on 'the gateway' as she repeated.

_____So that was part of the reason Alexandra was here to capture the woman, the other was simply to add her into the collection as she was a rather rare sight of beauty the woman now grew the desire to own having watched her build the loose ring of warnings and checked them. The sight of calmness within the woman's eyes sparked Alexandra to rise to her feet and reach to reclaim her scythe. She would be walking for some time to get down to her prey, but that was simply seen as time to consider all the ways to make the woman think she was safe or escaped the reaper.

_____As the Sun started the quick decent behind the mountain across the way, the chilling breeze sweeping the area Alexandra recalled another reason she was after the woman. It seemed another option as to the defense setup was because the woman had ratted out a figure of power within the underside of a nearby city and now had a number of people after her. A grin dawning Alexandra's face at the concept of a race. Would she be able to reach her prey before the rest, or would it simply be wiser to cull them out?

_____Watching as a figure began to approach with bow drawn Alexandra could only smile as her eyes glowed and her scythe moved to her side as she waved her fingers watching the male approuch, ever so slowly trying to fight his own body as the strings on his limbs tugged until he was within range and with both hands on her scythe Alexandra dashed forward, his figure slowly splitting in two down the center as she swung her weapon to rest on her back once more. This would be no contest if she reached them all first, and Alexandra needed the woman alive after-all.

_____Alexandra was not someone to admire the nature around her, well she felt like it was something she despised doing however as she cast out her magic sensory web and waited for anything to enter it her mind simply started doing such. The forest at night had it's own beauty that most would not see at day. The peaceful lighting of fireflies, the soft chirping of crickets, Dull tones of color with the limited light from the moon and stars that cut into the forest floor. All of it sadly only made the woman repulse at the idea of it.

_____Thankfully for the woman her web tugged to the east as she looked over with a small grin. Then another, and another, in a few moments it seemed like five had not only entered the web but started rushing towards the spider who was more then happy to be noticed. Frame turning slowly as she spun her scythe behind her back with an overjoyed expression as the figures moved to encircle the reaper. "Lambs to the slaughter... Shall we guide them to Her Majesty then...~" The single voice of her own calling out to the others as they up-roared in agreement as Alexandra reached her hands out as the scythe floated behind her.

"Come, seek the reaper and she greets you with open arms. May your souls be guided swiftly to her majesties side where you may suffer eternal torment at the pleasure of her will. Seek the passage to the beyond and it will open it's maw before you to consume the light!~"

_____Lips breaking as Alexandra chuckled while turning her hands upward. Glowing green eyes watching the figures step into the light as she scoffed lightly. Each was hiding as much about their individuality as the rest. the one difference seeming to be how some had white robes, and others black but nothing else sparked to consider them nothing more then simple cannon fodder assassins. Left index pulling downward as Alexandra's scythe spun around and rotated to deflect a thrown dagger from her right side as she turned to them first.

_____Frame lurching forward to close the distance, right hand waving as the scythe rose over her own head and slashed the cloaked figure who dared to attack first before she could finish their last rights. These souls, they would not sate her majesty's pallet and as such would need to be culled like the worthless maggots they had been. Watching their blood splash across the surroundings as her hand waved for the weapon to one more rest on standby behind her back, left hand wiping the blood from her face.

"I am death, Nothing stops my work, nobody can outrun me, all they can do is make an attempt to escape, or kneel and accept the fate. Your story ended the moment you entered this world while I still walk it.~"

_____Watching the unease within the ranks of the attackers was enjoyable as Alexandra simply reached towards them and chuckled. She could very easily just control them to slaughter them one by one as the others had been forced to watch, yet she wanted to play with her prey. The chance to do such showing when three of them steeled themselves enough to cast magic to attack the reaper who simply snapped her fingers as the scythe rose over her head and spun rapidly.

_____The black column hiding her as the spells cut across the air and crashed against the energy the weapon emitted to protect the woman who waved her hand upward ad the weapon spun downward and the air ripped open as black and green energy exploded from the rip and blasted into the mages foolish enough to attack her. As the column began to fade a circle showed in her left hand as she swung her arm and the black chain shot forward wrapping the unlucky assassin entirely before she pulled her hand back and the chains tightened until his body caved in from the strength and it coiled back to her hand.

_____A yawn escaping Alexandra's lips as the remaining three staggered back at the sight of being clearly outmatched. When one attempted to make a run for it strings would fall down to freeze them in place for a moment before they turned to run towards her. She could not see the horror in their eyes, but could sense it as her right hand swept across and the scythe came whirling down to claim their head as she looked to to remaining two. Head tipping as she clicked her tongue in disappointment while her scythe spun to remove the blood on it and she hit the chain to the ground.

"I said you can not escape death when she finds you foolish maggots. Your best bet is to try and survive long enough for me to leave you alone and seek you at a later time for more amusement.~"

_____A twisted grin as Alexandra waved her left hand and sent the chain to slam the ground near the more masculine figure to get him out of his terrorized state some more. The woman before them had just quickly slaughtered three of their companions without so much as taking a single scratch or looking to be trying as Alexandra had her chain coil back and get ready for another strike. The smaller figure rushing as she got another spell ready, a flicker of hate in their eyes was enough to move Alexandra's focus to the figure as he left hand spun.

_____Chain crashing at the ground beside the figure, she could have easily struck her down, and it was clear as day when Alexandra side stepped the magic that was cast towards her and swung her arm to have the chain slam into the side of the figure and send her against a tree and spinning to lock her in place. Right hand waving as the scythe circled overhead before green slashes began to barrage around the larger figure who desperately tried to evade to save his own life.

_____It was amusing to say the least for Alexandra as she watched while calmly waving her right hand to control her scythe. The smaller figure tried so hard to get free from her containment to the tree, while the larger one was slowly losing the battle to avoid the attacks and getting small cuts that soon grew to deeper ones as the toying continued. Alexandra was about to opt to ending his struggle as the game grew boring until the smaller figure spoke out.

"Stop it already... If you are going to kill us do it..!"

_____The words the last any should speak to Alexandra as she snapped her right hand and the scythe swung down to sever the right leg of the man who screamed out in pain while she walked to the now renewed struggle of the smaller figure. Hand pulling the hood and mask away to reveal the tear stained face of the girl that only further made Alexandra's desire to keep toying with them grow back to full force. Scythe falling to the ground as strings locked the larger figure and forced him to hop over to Alexandra.

"Oh darling, you only just re-sparked the game for me.~ Clearly this man most likely means something to you, one does not struggle so much and cry for a stranger or simply friend. So maybe a lover?~ Oh, looks like just that darling... now the game just reached another level.~"

_____Alexandra smiled as the woman's face showed raw rage as the reaper reached to the man's face and black flames coated his face. His mind getting torn apart and rebuilt rapidly before she let go and pulled him into a kiss, showing all the motion as the man took it with greed and fell towards the woman who had took his leg and killed his friends. The girl growling as she fought her chains as the kiss broke and the man fell down coughing blood and seizing up. A hand wiping her lips before she licked the girl leaving a trail of the man's blood and her own spit across he cheek as she canceled her chains and watched the girl rush to the man.

"What the hell did you do to him!" "I simply wiped his memories of you and replaced them with the desire for myself. On top of that I used a small bi of my magic to infect his insides with death magic that is now rapidly spreading to kill him from the inside having kisses death.~"

_____It was truly amusing to watch the girl try to comfort the man as he fought her demanding Alexandra, demanding the woman who set him on death's door while coughing blood in the face of his true partner. The reaper knew about their secret bond, how they hid it from the guild as it was not allowed. It was sickening love would make them risk their lives for another person and then they have to act it was simply the wiser choice. Watching to woman rise as she reached for her dagger and took a swing at Alexandra who slapped her aside. her focus watching the light fade from the man's eyes.

_____Damaged souls made the best playthings, Alexandra's smile did not fade once as she took the leisure time to dodge each attack from the woman who only saw red after the reaper had taken her beloved right before her eyes. Each time the girl missed Alexandra would wave her right hand as the scythe rapidly move to give her a small nick or cut for failing as she simply laughed and waited for her to try again.

"Darling your struggle is worthless, I fully plan to spare you simply because I love that hate you have in your eyes towards me. I thought it would be the other one who ran that would be the last to be honest but the runt of the group, having and affair be crushed before her eyes... well in this case kissed to death ha-ha.~"

_____More laughter as the woman growled and charged at her again and got a small cut along her shoulder for the failed attempt. It was a fun game but it was quickly growing to tire the reaper who still had other targets to hunt and a person to make sure was not killed before she learned what she needed. Right hand raising as strings locked the girl up and sent her to the male's body before her arm swung to began cutting him up as she creamed out to stop and tried to fight it. Reaching her left hand as Alexandra yawned and walked past the girl.

"Enjoy cutting your beloved into little pieces... and eating him... When you get stronger by all means come and hunt be down child... Until then... recall the name 'Grim reaper' Seek me and I will find you at the right time for the rematch darling... and I'll show you true despair.~"

_____Alexandra would walk away as she could hear the girl screaming curses before it was muffled by the remains she was stuffing into her own mouth at the effects magic that forced her to even go as far as chewing and swallowing the bits she cut off until she was no longer within the spell range. After that Alexandra could care less what the woman chose to do, if she chased then it would be her mind to the grave and a new servant, otherwise there was the issue of the huntress and any others that still had a mark for the woman. Looking ahead to see part of the house now blow up and bits scattered around the clearing she could not help but feel she was left out of the real party.

_____Without much worry having seen the damage to the house Alexandra calmly chimed the perimeter alarm to alert whoever was possibly still alive in the building she was approaching. Her scythe spinning at her side as she watched movement within the home, two figures though one was badly hurt judging by the slow movement as she approached the hole and knocked on the wood. "Hello, Grim reaper here to reclaim what is mine.~" A playful chime in her words as she leaned away moments before a beam of light shot past her face while she whistled.

_____What she saw as she moved back was rather intresting to say the least. The one she was after was still in good condition, while what appeared to be the leader of the group Alexandra had killed was on death's door and was the intended target of the beam as their frame fell over with a new hole in them. When the target looked ready to attack again Alexandra just chuckled, Hand waving as the target droop their arms and began approaching.

"Darling you can't fight nor harm it.~ I am here for something you know the location of as it's protector. That and seeing how you use Light magic you would make a perfect counter peice to my collection's current main plaything.~"

_____Alexandra reached her hands out as she spoke, when the elf woman tried to counter or speak against it she would be silenced by a wave of Alexandra's finger until she was held in a hug for a few moments before getting control to sit on her knees before the Reaper as she set a hand to either side of her head and black flames coiled off her hands and the screaming began while her memories got changed and replaced among the many other things Alexandra enjoyed changing about her playthings.

_____Slowly as her hands moved from the woman's head the changes took effect right away as the Elf woman Blushed and reached up to take Grim's habd to kiss it lightly and be pulled up as her new master raised it. Walking over as her waist was pulled so Alexandra had her against her own frame as she stole the lips of the now willing plaything before breaking the kiss before it could be enjoyed as she looked the woman in the eyes who looked pleading for more back at her.

"Now then darling, before You are given more, where did you hide the piece of the gateway you found all those years ago on the night the sky was consumed with light?~" "I Hid it within the woods here master... I... can't recall where... But i know it is still here... or that crystal would not shine..." A hand moving to point to a gem that was part of the gateway Alexandra was here to get as she took it in her hand loosely and started to walk away with the woman followed at the wave of her free hand.

"You will say if you recall anything while we search for it won't you darling?~ Less... you don't wish to be rewarded for helping making this easy?" "I will master... Who would dare make it harder for you? I will hunt them like the animals they are!"

_____A smile across Alexandra's face as she reached to drag the elf woman in close before throwing her forward to guide. She was nothing but a tool, one of whom was very attractive and should she not die during the retrieval of the last piece Alexandra would have no issues turning the woman into yet another plaything she could abuse for her own amusement. Eyes catching a spell circle aimed at the woman as Alexandra stepped back and watched.

_____Watching the elf woman wave her own circle to send the magic back to the caster was interesting, but what rose more focus was how it grew stronger as the two resumed walking the woods looking for a stronger reaction from the gem. The more Alexandra held the gem the odder her mind felt about her task. She only started searching because her majesty mentioned the gate, but the closer she got to finding the pieces the more she felt this was a devil's game. She trusted her majesty yes, but something in her head said don't.

"Did you set any traps to keep people from reaching it?" "Yes master~ I could not allow people to take it and bring THAT monster back to this world... Only you can do that task... Without releasing the others..."

_____Alexandra would frown, hand waving slowly as a chain lashed the back of the elf woman for daring to call her majesty a monster. Yes she was, but they had no right to say such aloud and far less did the flee under Alexandra have such right either. Moving to have the chain drag the woman back by her neck as Alexandra drove her heel to her gut and looked down at the  woman with disgust.

"You do not DARE call her majesty such, you are to find that piece and when you do I will punish you and consider it either ending with your death or not!" "Ye... yes... master..."

_____Moving her heel away before kicking the woman to hint her to keep moving as she swung her arm and finished off the mage who had attacked her property prior. Even if she was feeling torn about her choice the voices needed to be silenced, and she wanted her majesty back so the worries mattered not. Watching the elf woman take out one of the traps she was left to think they had been close and smiled. Soon, her majesty would be back among the world of reality.

'Once she is back, I can rest in peace truly... Just wait a bit longer majesty... You vessel of Chaos is coming...' Hand tightening around the gem as the two advanced deeper into the thickening woods.
