Thread: Rise of the Demon Forge: A Hidden Danger? (Razgriz x HeartCatch)

RE rologue First Victory Haha! It does seem like it would be hard. That's kind of how I imagined the weapons forming. Grimacing at his words, she noted it probably would be the case, but she just hoped this sicko would be caught before he could get away with anything else. A small choke escaped her when he grabbed her, pinning her against the wall. Her hands pressed against it, trying to push away before she cringed and sneered. Oh, gross. You asshole... What a turn of events. She was going to start cursing her fortune until surprise overtook her, eyes on the rubble pile, wide in disbelief. Her lips were parted but no words managed to escape. A soft gasp escaped Freya when she was dropped, but she simply winced before rubbing a shoulder and turning to watch Horace rush the stranger. Those marks were back on him, and while she couldn't understand it, she felt like there was something piecing itself together in her mind in regards to them. But in part, that was because of the stranger's earlier state and because as of now, he seemed so... different. Her lips parted further as her jaw dropped, watching the stranger form a shield to block the hammer. Even the clang resonated in her ears. She was even more surprised when he formed a gauntlet and Horace fell over, his screams filling the area. Freya could feel her own nervousness and uncertainty build up within her, not sure how to take what was happening. It was so unnatural. She knew before the stranger had some curious and very mysterious things going on, but this was simply on a different level entirely. Huh? Perking up, her eyes narrowed cautiously as she listened to the word 'wrong'. The first word he had spoken since... becoming like that. Horace asked the question she herself had been wondered, though with certainly different language than had constructed itself in her mind. She grimaced when he pinned Horace, feeling not a bit of sympathy for the psychotic freak, but definitely nervous about the mannerism. It didn't match the compassionate, confused stranger she knew from before. Then again, nor did that dark aura or forming weapons and being, well, relatively brutal. When the stranger revealed the row of teeth, her lips closed immediately, forming a thin, tight line as she swallowed softly. Her hands were clasped together against her chest, eyes focused on the stranger as she remained entirely unmoving and to the utmost attentive. Even his voice had changed. She felt that perhaps, even his way of speaking had. Either way, it was like he dawned a completely different persona, and she was wondering if those red marks had anything to do with it. And if so, maybe she was lucky that he didn't wake up when they had been throbbing earlier. If that was how they worked, anyway. As soon as her spoke again, her eyes narrowed further and her lips parted as she tilted her head back. She didn't like where this was going. Eyes closing as she turned away, Freya turned back, peeking one eye open to watch Horace's body and the hammer the stranger had formed disappear. Turning back completely with both eyes open and focused on him, she pushed off from the ground slowly, watching the marks on his body pulse as he looked at the orb. Freya did manage to look a little disgusted, comically so at that, when he swallowed the orb, but she recovered and watched on in even greater curiousity. She wasn't too taken aback by the aura and marks disappearing, but the moment he fell, she gasped and took a step back before rushing to his side and immediately dropping to her knees. She looked him over carefully, unable to give him any medical assistance if he required it, and even felt a little nervous that she couldn't tell if he suffered any internal injuries. But at least he awoke once more. Hey! Are you alright? She rested a hand on his back and another on his arm, leaning down and staring into his face with evident concernn. Can you walk? I don't think we should stay here. No doubt the commotion would draw some kind of attention eventually, and they probably didn't need to be around when it did. Do you... Do you remember what just happened? She was tempted to take him to another physician to get checked out, but she was almost irrationally concerned about a repeat of the accident. She would just settle on making sure they got out of the area for now and worry about everything else later.
