Drethiel's face looked even more displeased when the sound of blood splattering came about. This isn't good. He scowled, drawing back his wings and getting ready to take off. "Ashen!" He turned to her. "I know you just met me, but I need you to trust me on this..." He ran over to her, and grabbed hold of her hand. "There's a dark and dangerous presence on that bridge, and right now it's being aggravated even more. I cannot match it's strength, so the best choice is to run." His eyes were panicked and angry, and his chilled demeanor wore off as his blood boiled with rage. "Evil filth..." he spat towards the bridge. Pulling Ashen towards him, he picked her up in his arms and flung her over his shoulder. He had to admit, it felt a bit awkward as she was taller than he was, but he pushed those thoughts aside as his determination ushered him away from the river. He jumped up into the sky, and flew away as fast as he could, keeping low to the ground as to not waste time ascending. "So. Where am I taking us?" He asked with a no-nonsense voice.

Ashen looked at the the bridge once she heard liquid splash upon the boards. she saw Zu's eyes peering towards her, her heart slunk back to her spine, her mouth dried. no no no no! its Zu! i have to run! now! just as readied herself to run,her eyes veered to the dark figure near zu. wait...no!.."Fallen!?" "she shouted, she finally realized it was Fallen that had just attacked Zu!
from fear to instant rage, the whole world around her seemed to disappear for a moment even the wind didnt make a noise against her ears. she pulled out one of her throwing daggers, locking on Zu. "you will not take another from me Zu!" she was just about the throw her dagger when she felt a hand grab her arm. instantly as she was twisted around she dropped the throwing dagger. "what are yo-" the next thing she knew, she felt pressure on her stomach, when she looked around everything was whizzing by.
"Wait?! What!! i can run! get Fallen!! do you realize who that was!!?? Let me GO!" her claws sank into Drethiels back as she squirmed, growling and hissing at him. She stopped skirming at his question and tone. "the bridge!" she waited a moment, no...he wasnt going to turn around...she sighed "go to Pan'Ti...." she growled, Just wait till we land!, she thought as she glared at him.

After his blades sunk deep into the man's chest Fallen sighed in relief. But that relief was short lived. The man wasn't going down....he...he didn't even seem to be phased. Red eyes widening in surprise, the drow stared in shock, horror growing within him at the mans whispered words. This mans darkness was different from his own. Unlike his own darkness, Zu's seemed to hold death and emanated a sinister aura.
Just then a scream from above startled him. The man who had been talking to Ashen was now carrying her away. Although he was grateful that she was not near this person, he didn't really trust the winged man either. His gaze snapped back to Zu when he gripped the dagger and pulled it from his own chest. Why wasn't he dying!?
Thinking fast in panic and fear, the drow moved again. This time he rather than attacking with his blades he gathered as much death magic in his palm as he could manage. His touch of death was more than enough to kill a human, but would it be enough to take down this foe? Without giving it any more thought, Fallen released his attack on Zu, grabbing him by the shoulder with his touch of death.

"Damn why do you have to treat me so kindly" as Zu drops down lying on his back as the human shell just stands tree dormant
Seeing the others leave for a second Zu sits up and looks at Fallen's face smiling for a second "you know I could use someone like you for one of my missions."
Zu gets up looking at Fallen as he looks him over thinking hmmm young, engertic. That killer instinct, quick to kill, playfully and great for the cause. Yep a little easy to sneak up on but yep he' do nicely for my amusement and for her amusement as well. Besides he could use a new fresh killer for his cause
" I didn't mean to intrude on you and I truly your fun time peeping on Ashern and that strange angel to whom I can not recall bit I was gathering some souls and noticed that you killed that unforanted person that deserved to die and it's rare to see someone do it with such finess.... Expecially in Wyldguard that I would like to employ your skills for a job or two."
Zu then pulls out a crystal skull and holds it out to Fallen as it glistens and gleams as the diamond skull shows it's true value
"I would like to make use of your skills and have you kill a lot of people for me in a certain area down south. You will be paid well of course and I would welcome you with open arms"
"what do you say" As Zu takes off his cowl and shows his face to Fallen "yeah or nay... Up to you of course . I just figure that you could use some more challenging targets for your skills and these people will defiently keep your skills sharp at best... So what do you say"

Eyes wide, the drow backed away as his attack failed yet again. But when his back came up against a tree, it stopped him dead. Struck with fear at an opponent that he couldn't kill, Fallen listened to the man speak. A...a job? He wants to hire me? Why would someone who could not die want to hire me? This man was dangerous.
Nervous, he laid his hands on the tree behind him as if he was readying to push off of it and escape. "Who are you? Why didn't you die?" Despite his racing heart and his nerves, he was able to keep most of the fear out of his voice.

Zu sighs as he relizes that sometimes not everyone knows who he is why can't he be more like Miria as he thinks to himself
"My name here is Zu Darkness. You know the guy who runs The Dark Temple and I want to employ your skills to go kill some elves down south. ".
As Zu walks forward to Fallen
"Don't worry I won't kill you I would info done it ummm ten times now" As Zu shows his hands palms up indicating that he has come in peace.
"You see these elves are sent here on behalf of the Light Temple to cleanse this place of some evil stuff Expecially maybe the Kintu ad I can not allow that to happen so I need you to kill off a key officer or two. You will be paid well of course and possibly be asspected into the dark temple as a possible reaver"
Zu then turns around to look at the scenery for a second awaiting for Fallen's answer

The drow swallowed nervously. He needed the work....and it a job involved killing elves he usually would never pass it up. In fact, the entire contract seemed to good to be true....except for this man....Zu darkness. Thoughts raced through the assassins head. Leader of the dark temple? Become a reaver?
Already this man was to involved. With a usual job everything that happened happened on his terms. He was the one who found the employer, they rarely even saw him. But this man...zu darkness....
Wait....the name was suddenly ringing alarm bells in his head. When he had had his conversation with Ashen the other day she had mentioned him. This was Ashens enemy? He could certainly see why....a man who couldn't be killed. A man so entrenched in darkness and death that it overrode the shadows of a drow. A normal person usually would not be able to make out a drow when they're hiding in shadows. But this man was like darkness himself. No....he could not accept this mans offer.
"I cannot accept." The nervousness was obvious in his voice. He had never met anyone he could not kill before. This man...Zu Darkness....terrified him. What good was he, with all of his training and skill against someone who was immortal?

Zu's eyes frowned for a second as he looks at Fallen but it was expected...
"I understand if you feel that this assignment is too much for you but i' let you be however..."
Zu then looks at Fallen even more further into his soul for a second
"Hmm. You seemed worried about why I haven't done anything to you yet or why you think I am so evil and immortal..."
"Well it's a shame that I can not acquire your service at this time but if you want to talk to me in the future by all means ask for me..."
Oh and for the stab earlier Zu uses a crisp slash with a dagger across Fallen's chest and slowly walks away.
"Tag back" .... A few second later Zu walks back and grabs Fallen's chest and heals the wound then walks away
"Keep the crystal skull I have no use for money and the elves contract will stil be open of you want it... I'm not all evil after all"
Zu starts walking away slowly waiting to see his response

The attack came from no where, so unexpected and fast that the drow didn't have time to teleport or dodge. The knife blow, sharp and lethal, penetrated his armor rather deeply before becoming snagged on the leather and drawn away. Breath hitching in his throat, Fallen doubled over, leaning on the tree for support. Blood seeped from the wound, running down his chest under his armor while also sliding over the black leather itself. "X-xsa...ol" He swore painfully in drow. But before his mind could even assess how bad the damage was, Zu stood before him again. And as quickly as he was injured, he was not. The pain gone, the bleeding stopped. But that did not stop the shock from taking the drows mind. With white brows pulled together in confusion, fallen stared wide-eyed at the other man.....Was that....was that just an illusion.
Glancing down at his chest the blood that still ran down the dark leather told him that it was very real. Like a deer in the headlights, the drow silently stared at the temple leader, gloved hands laying protectively over his damaged armor.
That...that bastard... "why...."

Zu turns around and looks at Fallen then looks at his reaction.
Zu's eyes widen for a second then go normal and looks at Fallen to answer him.
"Cause it's in my nature. Always remember to never let your guard... Your good....actually your great but you could use more fine running... I too once was a young Assassian for hire... those were sometimes the days. "
He then starts to walk away
"Well care to paint the town red there are more people that need killing and I figure you could use the workout"
Zu awaits for Fallen's Answer

Anger started to swell within the drow, replacing the shock and the fear. "I do not need advice from you." His words came out in a growl. "You patronize me. I have been an assassin for 70 years." His red eyes narrowed at Zu. How dare he? How dare he criticize? He would have seen this dark immortal dead a thousand times over if he could. He would find a way.
"I will not help you. I do what I do because I'm good at it, not because I love it." And because it was all he knew. "Find someone else."

"Hey I was just offering a chance to kill a few other people along the way not mock you" as Zu walks away. He tries not to chuckle at Fallen for a second knowing that he aroused his anger.
"The elves I'll find someone else...I was just saying there are a few more greedy farmers that needed to die tonight plus there this womanizer that well sleeps with the behaviour next door that has been married many times before.... He needs to die as well"
Zu then Starks walking away more waitng for Fallen's answer

Still leaning against the tree, the drow glared at the man. "I will not work for you." He grit out angrily. He was not a man of justice. When he carried out a hit he did not care whether the victim was a good or bad person, only that he received payment. As for greedy farmers? If greed was a crime he would be a culprit himself. "goodbye."
And with those final words he mustered the power within him, chanting a spell under his breath. And suddenly he was gone, teleported away as if he had never been standing there at all.
He would find a way to kill that man. He would find a way.....

Zu did not glance around as he glanced that Fallen had teleported away he then thinks to himself "well that went over better than attended for now. Oh well better get to work then as Zu looks at the farm field that needed justice to be dispensed. Better get to work as he thinks to himself
He walks to the farmers field and sees the farmer abusing his wife and beating her senceless when he sneaks up behind the attacker and stabs him through the head with his sword then turns the blade around and cuts his head off.
His wife screams at first then looks Zu asking him to take her life as well. He turns and asks why you made the call for me to kill your husband so I responded. Her answer was that although he was rough and mean to her truth is that I can not live without him Zu sighs at this and with a flash of his sword he cuts her head off as well then walks away and sets the place on fire to cleanse it and watches it burn for a few mouments thinking about why some people are so stupid. When you ask for someone to be killed expect for it to happen.
He then walks away looking onward to his next job. Being cursed isn't all that easy as Zu thinks to himself. He then opens a portal and exits back to his Dark Castle hoping that maybe she'll be home.
