Sort gave Mex a pat on the ass as he told Ravenous.
"Don't worry man, I have no plans on cheating on her. I know she is all types of evil and crazy, thanks to you.
He then gives Mex another of his big smiles and teases her a little bit.
"But you never know, I just may not be able to control myself, I meet some Furry woman with a pair of great big giant, tits. And no, I have not found any of the others yet, but there is a path right over there, I was following alongside it hoping it would lead somewhere."Sort then points to the path just beside them as he gets ready to continue traveling.

Dax was lucky this time. Hiding behind his shield hid him enough the goblins didn't notice the color of his fur. After they passed him by, so did one of the plant monsters, dragging itself along on what appeared to be root-like legs.

Kaz didn't run into any more traps, and as she made her way around the wall, she found a large boulder near the wall. If she was careful and cautious, she could climb it to see over the wall and discover what was inside. She may even be able to jump from the boulder into the camp, over the wall. It didn't look like there were any other ways over the wall, the goblins actually did a good job keeping, whatever this place was, secured.

Dax lets out the breath he had been holding as they passed him by,"Whew that was wayyy too close. Better get going back to the river." He mumbles to himself as he rushes back to the sign hoping he wouldn`t run into anymore slow downs or obstacles in his way.

When Victor looked at Nyx she was on her knees rubbing her eyes like a cute little girl
"No....No....I just need.....thread....and i should be able to re.....pair it....
she looked incredibly tired and is looking up at him like she is innocently sad

[Zender_Solarheart]

"Hm..?" Nyx's sudden turn for a more depressed state certainly takes Victor off-guard. "N-Nyx...what's wrong?" he replies, the tone of concern in his voice quite clear. He's seen a variety of sides to her by now: humorous, calm, and certainly the more violent persona she lets loose in battle. This is new, however...and he can't help but wonder what prompted it.

"I, ermm...if it's thread you need, you can have some of mine..." he says in the softest tone of voice that his worried mind will allow, then pulls a small spool of red thread out of his right pocket. "I carry it around for patching my own clothes, so it's the same red as my shirt...but it's better than nothing, right?" he adds, doing his best to smile despite the emotional heel-face turn from Nyx. His blush has lightened a bit by now, but that's mostly because the concern for Nyx's sudden shift in attitude has overridden the thoughts about her current state of apparel. He just wants to help her, in whatever way he can...and with those sorrowful, almost puppy-like eyes looking up at him, can you blame the guy?

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

She takes the thread and begins to patch up her clothes again, she finishes and puts it on
"Than....Thank you....very....much......Vic....Victor" she said trying to stay awake
she stands up and walks over to Victor, hugging him before falling asleep while embracing him

Ookami is next to the two looking at the now sleeping Nyx sadly before looking at Victor, as if the demon was trying to tell him something

[napsii]

Kaz tossed Tide over her back, stretching her hands out to send satisfying pops and cracks through her bones. She rubbed her palms together, surveying the big rock that was an obvious foothold into whatever this place was. Huffing in a breath, she ran at it and nearly faceplanted into its high, nearly vertical side. The girl's hands scrabbled and dabbled for a hold.

She did eventually finagle her way to the top after a few minutes of ineffective climbing, her tongue sticking out of her mouth from the careful, precise concentration she needed to climb up rocks. Because she was bad at dealing with rocks.

"Abraca-I can see now-da." she huffed in satisfaction, using her new viewpoint to look out over the camp.

[Zender_Solarheart]

As Nyx embraces Victor and subsequently passes into slumber, he can't help but blush quite deeply at the situation. Once again, she's given him quite the surprise, though her frame is too light to make him lose balance. For now, he simply hugs her back, letting her get some rest; poor lady must've exhausted herself after all of today's antics.

It's at this point that Victor notices Ookami looking straight at him, as if to provide him with some words of wisdom, or something. His eyes glance at Nyx's lovely sleeping face, then back to her demon-wolf companion, piecing together what her familiar might be thinking. He shrugs his shoulders, and whispers to Ookami: "Hey, don't blame me...I didn't see this coming, either. She's definitely worn out, though..." Victor pauses for a moment, then adds: "...I take it you can understand what I'm saying, right? If so, would you mind if I carried her for a while? I mean...it's not like she can just walk on her own right now..."

Victor blushes once more on that last bit, the thought of carrying her in his arms seeming rather romantic. He wouldn't mind that, to be honest...but Ookami's spent more time with her than he has, and he'd rather not anger the familiar if he can help it. If Ookami's anything like Nyx, then that would pretty much be like saying "Bite my arm off, I'm too stupid to use it right."

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

Ookami nods and lets Victor start down the path before fading away
In Nyx's sleep she can be heard mumbling something, if Victor would lean closer to her he could most likely hear what she is saying

[Zender_Solarheart]

While carrying Nyx down the path, Victor's ears catch the sound of her mumbling in her sleep, and he decides to lift her head up slowly towards his own, in order to listen in on what she's saying. It may or may not end up being a private matter for her, but the curiosity will only drive him mad if he doesn't do so. Besides, it's not like he'd gossip about it, or anything.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

"The.....the blood.....its......its driving me to insanity.....I need....to draw more......she wishes it......she wants...it"
She says maliciously begins to squirm and shakes, her voice becoming sad and helpless
" No I don't want it anymore, please leave....please....please....leave"
Tears began to fall from her shut eyes and she seems to cringe in his arms
"no no no no no no no..."
she shakes her head in her sleep

[Zender_Solarheart]

As he hears those words from Nyx's own mouth, Victor feels an intense chill crawl down his spine, unlike any he's felt before. That isn't the kind of thing somebody mumbles in a simple nightmare...is she...possessed? If so, how did it happen? And what sort of demon has taken hold of her? Most men would likely have dropped her and run at that point...

...but Victor does not. Despite whatever terrifying power may be attempting to grip her mind right now, he does not see her as a person to fear, but rather, one crying out for help...and while he doesn't know exactly how to help her, perhaps knowing that there's someone nearby, who can use physical contact to provide comfort instead of violence, may help.

To that end, Victor holds Nyx closer to him, gently rubbing her right shoulder with his right hand, in an attempt to alleviate some of the physical tension that whatever nightmare the evil spirit haunts her with, and perhaps send some kind of comforting signal back to her brain. He only wishes there was more he could do in order to ward off whatever entity plagues her mind...

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

Her eyes suddenly jolt open and she screams, jumping out of his grasp and sitting next to a tree, and begins crying.
But then she stands up, with a large smile on her face, her eyes seem to be a much more dull crimson color.
"Thank you Victor....I wonder....What will your blood taste like?" She says laughing darkly
She draws her sword and sways slightly looking at him with a blank smile on her face
"I hope you are ready to feed me..." She said, it couldn't be her talking

[Icaelus]

Ravenous seemed to dip forward at Sort, as if nodding.
Definitely..
The scythe hummed. Sort was right on that point. Ravenous wasn't going to be telling this to Mex anytime soon, but he was the spirit of the head vampire that had annihilated her entire family. There wasn't much to consider about it. They simply needed food at that time. They may had bitten off more than they could chew, though. He had watched Mex, this little petite girl with blond hair walk into the scene of devastation, her basket that she had held dropping to the floor as she watched as his vampire brethren sucked the life out of her entire family before her eyes. What had happened next was simply.. Raven still couldn't believe it.

That little girl had gone Chuck Norris-Apeshit on his vampires. How a human had managed to wipe them all out, he would never know.. He could still remember the pain when Mex simply punched through him, her fists ablaze with flame..
Of course, status quo was fine now. He was a scythe. Mex was twisted and sadistic now. Perfect pairing..

Mex subconsciously looked down at her own pair of boobs when Sort mentioned meeting furry gal with a huge rack. Right.
"Maybe you should be dating a cow, then? Heard they have pretty big tits."
She glared at him, stalking down the path which Sort had pointed down, Ravenous in hand.

Sort laughed a bit at Mex's comment.
"Nahh, cows may have big tits, but they aren't much for conversation. And besides, I have yet to meet a cow that was a sadistic, psychopathic, pyromancer with a talking weapon. And I can't compete with a bull when it comes to cock size anyway."
Sort gives a little snicker at his last comment, before proceeding down the path after her. He holds his bow in hand with an arrow ready just in case they found some little green friends along the way. After a few more minutes traveling they come across the corpse of a goblin that has been crushed by what looks like a large hammer. Sort carefully examines the grizzly scene. The ice crystals from Kaz have all melted by now, but Sort is almost certain she was here.
"Hmm... he was crushed by a big hammer, and it doesn't look like it was a professional hit either. You can see his ribs were crushed with brute force, he wasn't skillfully beaten. I bet this was done by Kaz."

Now that Kaz could see in in the camp over the wall, she was greeted by a very frightening sight. There were several women, all stripped of their clothing in various cages in the large camp, as well as several hut for privacy. In the cages she could see human, elf, and furry women, as well as a few goblin females strutting about mocking them. In the center of the camp a naked woman was tied down with her legs spread open and a goblin busy plowing into her pussy, while sucking on her tits. Most of the goblins in the camp were watching the show, some yelling out encouraging remarks and shouts at the one having the female. If Kaz listens carefully she can hear the woman sobbing as she is being violated.

Dax makes it back to the sign without any difficulty, but the journey is a long one. He has not been spotted by any patrols, nor have any patrols spotted him.Hiding the body prevented the goblins from employing elevated security measures. He is on the path that will take him back to Victor and Nyx, but do to the length of the journey, he will not arrive until after their...dispute, is settled.

[daxtinator396]

Dax finally reaches the sign once again thankfully without anymore gobs to get it in his way! Dax stops at the sign for a moment to catch his breath before deciding he needs abit more in the stealth department and takes some vines from a nearby tree and uses them to break up his outline and hide his blonde fur,"There this should help me hide abit better in case of more trouble... Now onward I go!" Dax says to himself as he continues down the path hopefully finding others soon.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Victor is definitely surprised when Nyx literally leaps out of his arms, but who wouldn't be? That's not what really shocks him, though. That would be her sudden change into...what seems a demonic vampire's personality. "W-what the-" he stutters, gripping Mjolnir's hilt tightly out of reflex, but not yet unsheathing it (largely due to how much of a mind-fuck this present situation is). "Nyx...what's gotten into you?"

Then, it hits him: that's not Nyx in her head, but...something else. His expression transitions from shock into anger, at the concept of an evil spirit pulling this stunt. "Okay, I don't know who you are, ghastly spirit, but you're quite the coward to use this young lady's body to 'feed' on me." Victor draws Mjolnir and takes a defensive stance, his furious grimace tensing with even more anger. "If you want my blood so badly, then take it with your own hands! Leave Nyx out of it!!" He's pretty much yelling at this point, as the malicious entity possessing Nyx has pissed him off quite royally. With blade in hand, already sparking with electricity, Victor bellows out his proclamation:

"I am Victor Stein! The Sword that Cleaves Thunder! I will liberate Nyx from your vile grasp, and smite your ghastly remains into nonexistence!! Come at me, you spineless demon!!!"

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

"Nyx" laughs
"I am no demon, I am closer to this woman than you believe!"
Suddenly her eyes return to normal
"Victor RUN!!!!"
Her eyes dull again
"Foolish girl! you dare try to stop your blood-lust?! You cannot help the feeling and you know it, I am merely your tool!"
Without hesitation Nyx charges at Victor, sword pointed straight at his heart
"YOU CANNOT HOPE TO STOP ME!!!!"

[napsii]

Kaz's eyes widened with disbelief. Well, not really. It was more like the shock of seeing crap like this first hand! She'd known that gobs ran places like these, but..well, she'd never seen one. Usually the ones in Furon got razed by the military before they could really take off.

She stuck out her tongue, feeling like she was gonna hurl there for a sec. But she sucked in a big breath through her nose, and was then able to tolerate it.

"GROSS! Fuggin' goooooooooooooooooobs." she drawled out in distaste, shuffling along the boulder before standing up. She stretched her legs for a sec, but before she could be noticed, blasted forward into the air, aiming to clear the wall and break her fall with a roll as she hit the ground inside the camp. From there, she'd try and move to cover so she wasn't immediately assailed.

Duuude, I wonder what's goin' on here. I mean like, ya, it bein' called the 'breeding pens' kinda gives it away but like DAMMMNNN! This is so not gud, ya. she thought.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Seeing "Nyx" charge at him with sword pointed for a heart-stab, Victor leaps to the side to dodge, the mysterious evil entity's words slowly becoming clearer. "Closer than believed"..."Merely her tool"...could it be...?

(flashback)

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

"...but if I may ask, where exactly did you get that sword? I'm no expert on the matter, but I believe that it's of a foreign design...a 'katana,' I believe it's called."

"It is the blade passed down through my family. In your language, its name translates into Blood Harvester."

"Blood Harvester"...that's it. That must be what has its grip on her.

"Sorry Nyx. I'm not going to just abandon you like that, especially not in a place like this." Victor mutters, then holds his sword up defensively in front of him horizontally, but with the tip angled up just a little. "So, Mr. 'Blood Harvester,' why don't you try that again?!" he shouts, taunting the blade, and daring it to attempt another frontal assault. Maybe if he can knock that sword out of her hands...

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

"Who said anything about me being a man?" "Nyx" questioned
she began charging him again
