The Hunt ~Fallon, Hollow, Bean

[fallon]

Fallon watches as Hollow sees the dust settling and leading into a cave mouth. She shakes her head and sighs as he takes the point and seems to dart off into the cave. She unwillingly follows against all her instict; which tells her to turn around and leave. The three travel farther into the dark cave, where light seems to be impossible to get to, but for some reason she can still see, and it kind of has her nervous.

the bats screeeching and wisping out didn't herlp her uneasyness and she just got more tense. She wasn't fond of the dark, bats either, but the pain of revenge drove her foreward. she knew he was in here, she could smell the scent of spilt wolf blood traced through the cave tunnel.

The cave walls were cold and seemed oddly mishapen, she smells the damp air and winces. A foul smell hit the air and suddenly she felt Fury dash forward, wiping past both her and hollow. He found something and Fallon sprinted after him, running on the tips of her toes with her arms straight out behind her. she was fast and it didn't take that much time till she caught up with the Canine.

Falon stopped and looked out, there was a lit tunnel, the smell of smoke filled her nose, there were fire lit lanturns, and the cave seemed to flatten out into a large cavern, with a figure sitting on a large pile of gold in a red chair, surrouded by many other dark figures. She blinked and reached out for Fury to make sure he wasn't going to lash out too soon.

Fallon and Fury raced passed Hollow, he picks up his pace of speed to catch up but sadly loses sight of them in the darkness. He finds himself bumping into turns of the cave blind as a bat, a faint break of day light could be seen. Hollow runs toward the light he hopes that he would find Fallon and Fury there but finds himself about to fall out of the cave into the ocean. His instants flick his body round and grabs the ledge with one hand throwing his blade over it and pulling himself up he fall to his back panting in shock. Hollow sits and stares out to the ocean images of his past start rush by, him falling into an ocean clutching the very swords he Carry's. Hollow remembers the man that stole that very sword from his mother and used it to kill her, he rubs the scar on his face as a new memory fill his head one of a women standing tall wielding his massive blade. She stood in front of him sharing many features of what he owned and no older then him in appearance. She spoke to him but he didn't understand anything she said until the word key was uttered as plain as day. These images passed as quickly as came leaving hollow in confusion and explicit agony all he could do was scream in pain. But the sound that left his mouth was of that of a booming cry of a dragon rattling the cave, rolling in echos as the sound vibrates of the walls.

[JxSlaughter]

Once Fury reached the room he stopped running in a halt, and stood with his tongue and jaw hanging loose, resulting in what usually looked like smiles on other canines. His body was untensed and he wasn't crouching or cautious at all.

The figure in the red chair greeted Fallon, but Fury wasn't really listening to what the figure was saying.

The figure spoke, "Welcome. What brings you to my humble abode?" an evil smile cracked across his face. The man was holding a gold coin up to his lips with his eyes closed.

After he spoke for a while, Fury started stalking towards the massive pile of gold towards the group of strangers, making clumsy gold scattering noises. However, he wasn't stalking as if he was going to kill someone. It looked like he was moving in a playful, prancing kind of stalking. His tail wagging level with his spine.

Two-thirds of the way there, he fell onto his belly and started dragging himself towards a specific figure in the back with an eager demeanor. A young adult human looking male, with silver hair, golden, and black eyes. Once at his side, Fury rolled onto his back with such an easy expression as if expecting a belly rub, with his paws up.

The human male didn't even acknowledged the wolf, and kept his eyes on Fallon, as the rest of the group did. Fury tried to get closer to him by turning to his side, trying to be close to him as he was with Fallon, but the male shoved him away with his foot for some space. Fury then flipped over onto his paws and scooted away before returning to laying on his side. At this point, Fury was not paying attention to anything but him.

The man spoke once more. "You came here with someone else didn't you?" It seemed like his evil smile became bigger, as if he had something planned for the both. The man in the chair, who thought of it as a throne, threw the coin behind him in front of the the man with silver hair. "Find him, and finish him..." He said, under his dark breath.

The male gave eye contact to Fury, and a second later Fury gave back a focused look at the male. His ears became erect as if he was about to chase a rabbit, all playfulness gone. The male jumped up and disappeared into the depths of the dark, towering ceiling. Fury got onto his feet and disappeared seconds afterwards.

The man looked at Fallon through her eyes so deeply and started crackling into a large burst laughter. Knowing full well of the enjoyment he will get out of the two's suffering.

Especially because another wolf is involved...

[Lemme know if I shouldn't be doing anything. I'll change it if you had better things in mind.]

[fallon]

Fallon flinched at the strangers words, was this the man who they had been chasing earlier? He had silver hair, almost golden skin, and black souless eyes. As if he had no heart, nothing but a black hole. The strnger greeted them as if they were expected. As if this was a trap.

She ignored his words, as if they were poison. Fallon sort of gasped as Fury tried to paw his way over to the man, going through a series of weird movements. The man didnt seem to even notice Fury. He kept his focus and gaze on Fallon, as did everyone else in the room. Thats when she realized, she was missing something. Hollow he wasnt here, and just as the silence creeped over her shoulders. A loud yell sounded from deeper inside the cave, from where Fury and Fallon just came from. Hollow, he must have been hurt.

Fury, stood erect, before darting off back inside the cavern path. Where was he going, and was he ever coming back.

The stranger said something, asn out of nohere ordered his men to fetch after Hollow. She screamed "No!" and pulled out her bow. Sending a Arrow deep inside a guards chest she was pounced on by another. A few escaped into the entryway, and after Hollow. Fallon pushed the guard off her and unsheathed her sword. She dared the next guard to come after her. He did, pulling out what seemed to be concealed knives, but she quickly ducked under each blade, and turned to cut his throat . She smiled in achievement.

But it was too fast, suddenly a blot of lightning shot through the room and hit Fallon square in the chest. she fell the ground after letting out a loud scream. What was this man, and where did he get that power. Fallon, tried to get up but she couldnt, and just as soon as the man picked her up and seemed to carry her over to his chair is when she blacked out.
But not before picturing Hollows face in her mind.

[hollowstar]

Hollow's mind was torn apart with his memories and approaching foot steps he regains his footing and puts up a defensive stance which is lowered from pulsating migraine. With one eye closed holding back the pain he staggers toward the foot steps until they where visible to him five figures stood armored. A faint echo of a scream was heard from deep inside the cave, Hollow rushed the guards as they turned to see where the noise came from he swung his enormous sword wedging it into one of the guards stomach forcing them up against the wall coughing blood as he struck the wall.

Hollow begin his assault on the guards striking another with his head the armaments buckled as the another guard fell to the floor. Two tried to rush Hollow as he sent them the guard that he sliced in two toward them. One guard stood in his way he grabs the rather small guard by the throat the helm covering it's head rolled off as if it was too big. This guard was a woman he dropped her to her feet but as he did she lunged a dagger into his side. Hollow throw her over his shoulder into the pile of guards he had made and moved onward to where the scream came from.

He finally staggered into the main chamber to see a shadow of a figure sat on a throne of sorts and Fallon unconscious chained to it. His teeth grind as his anger grows as a voice shouts out "yes hate me, show me what you really are, let that shadow consume you!"

[fallon]

Cold chains held her still, Hard stiff metal. She groaned, words were spoken, and her heart raced. Light fell into her eyes and she peered out. Hollow stood there, the strangers words, were directed at him. Fallon could see the amount of anger building up inside of him. She wasnted to scream out, to stop him. This is what the stranger wanted, for the evil inside to be brought out.

But the words couldnt escape her lips. She just struggled against the weight of the chains, holding her back to his chair. She looked up at the stranger, a look of compassion. She felt sorry for this being, that this is the life he chose, but mostly her look tried to reach out to him. Not to hurt Hollow.

Finally the words came out, " Hollow, don't! Calm down. I'm okay, just please! This is what he wants from you. But your so much stronger than this! Don't fall into his game!"

The stranger grinned, and stood. Fondling the chain in his hand that kept Fallon tied. He knelt beside her and gripped her chin hard, making her look at Hollow.

"Now, Now.... Hollow is it? Is this what you want? To watch her die?...," He pushed Fallon down to the ground and released his grasp, facing directly at Hollow again, " Fight me, with the dark that feels your body, give me what ive been waiting for!"

[hollowstar]

Hollow grinned at his words "you harm her and you'll be the one killed". Hollow begins to walk toward them his eye's dimmed and focused. The stranger throw bolts of Lighting toward Hollow as each one hit barely making him flinch. they come face to face hollow stares at this stranger hollow head-butts the stranger knocking him to his chair. Hollow breath begins to stagger as his injures begin to effect him the stranger takes this this moment to send hollow flying with a wind spell. Hollow drops his sword as his try to make for a softer landing.

The stranger pick up the sword Finally the treasure i won a them years ago is mine once again he said holding up wards. "I now have everything Hollow Star to get rid of you just like your mother, Graviga but i must thank you." He walks back to Fallon and squats down to her level he puts one finger on her forehead and whispers don't remember me do you Fallon. Hollow's heart sunk as each beat slowed he picks himself up with his head held down. Every memory he had flooded back to him his past the present and the people he has meet on his travels the kindness they showed him. But the memories of the people who despite him and show hate flicked though.

Hollow's mind went black and as if some had strike a match the black flame had consumed him. his head head now tilted back-wards as if possessed begin to laugh a back Aurora surround Hollow "The star shines no more, darkness consumes all." he said locking his eye's on them as his eye's pierced the Vail of black mist.

[fallon]

Fallon watched the battle that befolded before her. The way the lightning hit him, and he didn't even seem to flinch. But she knew it had to hurt, as one bolt had compleatly destroyed her earlier. Nothing seemed to phase Hollow. Was it the anger, the hatred for this stranger? He seemed to control the world around him with a wave of his hand. Air, moved at his will. Who was this being and how does he have the power to do such things.

Fallon yelped as Hollow finally seemed to be in pain from his injuries. The stranger once again knelt beside, looked into her eyes, smilied, and placed his pointer finger underneath her chin, forcing her neck to extend up. He spoke, and Fallon wished to spit right into his eyes. She snapped at his finger, as if to bite it off.

" No, I Don't! " She glared at him with hatred, whatever he was, whoever. He knew her, and remembered her. What did he do to her in her life. She couldnt remember. But he killed Hollow's mother. Fallon could only remember as far back as being a child. In the forest, first meeting her adoptive wolf mother, everything before that was blank. She couldn't even remember her real parents. Could he have destroyed them, as he did to Hollows? She didn't understand, but she wished she would remember.

Breath escaped her lips as she watched in Horror, what was happening to Hollow? Dark seemed to erupt from his body everywhere. She screamed out, " No! Hollow!" Fallon tried to wringe out of the chains, but they grasped her firmly, and the stranger laughed. Every bit of kindness and light faded from Hollows body. What was he becoming? Fallon cringed, she was afraid, that he would never be Hollow, the way she knew him, ever again.

[hollowstar]

Hollow's grin falls upon the stranger who smile's back there's the real Hollow i know come for me. He didn't hesitate for one moment the black mist hide Hollow's movements the stranger taps Hollow's sword as it bursts into flames and began to deflects every lunge hollow made. by the time hollow stopped his attack his body was disfigured with burns and yet he still grins like a mad man, no pain the stranger shouted to him hollow's answered back none calmly he begins to inhale air at a rapid pace. He hurls a flare of fire at thin air, Hollow felt burning hot steel pierce his back through his chest.

The inner Hollow wanted to scream in pain but not one sound came from his mouth, gotcha now! said the stranger. Hollow places both hand on the blade and pulls it drawing this man closer to his back as quick as he did his tail whips the floor and cuts the stanger's hand off with his grafted tail blade.

Hollow grabs the sword from his back and throws it to one side he pick the man up and stares into his eye "Dragon slayer the the consumer of dragon souls your strength is that of false hood." in anger he throw the man down by Fallon. "Fallon my daughter help.. me. from this monster" Hollow stands looking at them clutching his wounds and pick up the sword and the flames of rage in his eye's he staggers over to them with intent to kill this man.

[fallon]

Fallon watched wide eyed, Hollow was different. He wasn;t being the man she fell in love with. And the stranger seemed to beckon this out of Hollow. Fallon started to dry as the fight continued. The flaming sword burned his flesh, and each time he moved, Hollow looked more and more hurt, yet he didn;t seem to feel the pain.

Fallon was horrified, and she screamed out as Hollow felt the blades bite as it dug itself into his back. Fallon cried, as she could almost feel the pain to. She wished it was her, and not him that felt the sting. If only she break free of the chain.

Suddenly she heard the stranger scream, and watched the bloody hand fall to the ground. So did the stranger, and he seemed to crawl closer to Fallons feet. "Fallon my daughter help.. me.... from this Monster."

These words rang in her ears. Could it possibly be true, could he be? She could never remember her parents, she could only remember being raised from her adoptive wolf parents... So if it was true, he must not have been a good father, or else he would have made an impression on her.

Fallon growled, " If you are my actual father, why is it you hurt me, why do you kill my friends, and why are you trying to kill the man i love. Your not my father, Hakurou was, and last i knew, you left his carcass on the ground outside my cave."

Fallon smiled as she wriggled her hands free from the chain and placed them tight around the dagger she kept strapped to her thigh, and dug it deep into the mans heart.

[hollowstar]

Hollow Stood in front of them as he watched the man take his last few gasps of air till he moved no more. Hollow body begin to ache but remained stood up right as a sudden rush of wind sweeped past him. He plunged the sword deep into the ground and uttered the words for the souls that are free from this man he wonders over to Fallon falling to his knees and pulls the clamps joints part freeing her. His head falls to her breast the dark energy that he revealed in now returning to deeps of his subconsciouses but also losing his own consciousness as he slips into a deep sleep.

Even thought hollow was not awake his mind buzzed with activate relieving moment of his past Vogel till one made it's self more clear. This was different a memory one he hadn't remembered till his mother teaching him basic magic right of change to human form. he remembers how his mother looked as she morphed into a subhuman form. Her horns black in color twisted and jagged much more bigger then his own back then. Black long flowing hair a small fair face with piecing green eye's slender build and clothed in black leather. Her tail and wing where in plan view, and the warming smile she gave him when she told him to try.

As Hollow mind race he body begin to change trying to morph his own form while with in his memory but he failed. He only made his less human parts grow his small wings were now the size of his shoulder blades. His horn twisted and showed signs of cracks of ware. His tail was a one foot longer and more harder to conceal.

[fallon]

Fallon looked up at Hollow with horror in her eyes. He was not the same man, and she wondered if he was to ever be the same. Suddenly he fell into her chest and she gasped. Holding him upright. He fell unconscious. Fallon brushed her hand over his cheek. He was hurt, and still bleeding. SHe needed to help him right away.

Fallon removed the rest of the chain from around her body, and heaved him up onto her shoulder, struggling to drag him out of the cave. She could have concealed him better in there, but the dead body of the stranger made her anxious.

Fallon dragged him back into the forest, and underneath the base of tree roots, she made a fire and from collected rain water, she wet a towel and began to clean the blood from his body. She looked at his face and wondered what was going through his mind at that moment.

She spent the night sewing his cuts, and putting at ease his burns. He didnt look to well, but better than before. sHe grew tired and simply fell asleep on his chest. Hoping she wasnt causing pain.

Fallon fell asleep quickly, a vison of her family running beside her. Sending a long howl to the moon. Suddenly a large black raven swooped over them, and each wolf vanished with a puff of darkness. A screech erupted from the red eyed featherd beast and descended upon her. Before it could take her off she awaoke screaming. Sweat pouring off her forehead, and goosebumps appeared with her shivers.

[hollowstar]

Hollow still lost in his mine came upon nothing white as far as the eye can see. "You've grown so much and yet still no nothing." echoed a females voice. "what do you mean?" Hollow shouts out as a mirror pieces it's self togather as if someone had smashed it and putting it back togather. Hollow stares at himself though the mirror "see how you have grown." Hollow looks at every inch of himself as he seems taller more tighter in area's and his features larger.

The voice spoke again "These changes are also effecting you outside of your mind, look deeper." Hollow walks closer to the mirror a touches it a figure starts to appear before him standing next to him female in figure. she became clear to him as he stance in shock there stood Fallon but no longer a normal human but much more like him and cradling a child...

Hollow's eye snap open just as Fallon screams he leans up to her but falls back in agony. He grinds his teeth and forces himself up staggering to comfort her and reassure her.

[fallon]

Fallons voice stops as she can feel his touch. It was sensitive, just how she remembered. She breathed in heavilly before looking down upon him.

" Your awake...." Fallon touched his forehead to check his tempature, he was a little warm, but it seemed he woke from a freightning vision as well. Before Fallon knew it, tears formed in her eyes and she collapsed onto his chest, feeling sorry if she caused any pain.

She had him back, after being so scared of losing him. But had he still changed? FAllon shook off that thought and cryed as she held onto him, not wanting to let him go. She finally pulled back, sitting on her knees.

" You still need to rest, " she said looking at his bleeding bandages. She wondered how long she haad slept for, perhaps too long since the coals of the fire seemed to dim.

[hollowstar]

Hollow lays back against the tree and looks to her "no need to cry, can't get rid of me that easy." as the sign of pain showed on his face. he fell silent for a while before speaking "I feel lighter and stronger and for a moment back then almost invincible. But it has taken it's toll on me." his eye's felt heavy as he yawns and looks over to Fallon and smiles.

"I've seen a small glimmer of our future, you have changed so much that your beauty greater that of angles. We have a health little one too." He grins greatly as he falls asleep and whispering words about her Ascension into a bigger family.
