Thread: Octavian Kor'Alvian

Tavi sighed as he opened his eyes, taking in the fresh air of the small backwater town. Three weeks, and no work sent his way as promised. Tavi sighed knowing that this was normal when others wanted their identity remained in shadows annoying fools. If you were going to pay an assassin to kill a man, he preferred it to be a more open, and entertaining affair. His hand ran down to Eva's head sitting on the front of his pants, he was still dressed however he had given her specific instructions if she was to be allowed to follow him. She had agreed, and now he had a few perks in keeping the girl whom wished him dead by his side. Eva gave a soft yawn feeling the man's shaft through his pants, she would kill this pig he had embarrassed her more than she could even count at this point. However, she enjoyed the thought of one day ending his life. He had killed her father, and she had gotten him to agree to train her. She knew he was prone to fits of emotion, and they changed in a way who the man was. Changed, yes, changed was the term she would give him he was not the same when those fits took him. However she had seen the man fight, and knew no one could beat him the man was an immortal she had seen things done to him over the year she had traveled with him no normal man could survive. Daggers again, or will I finally get to enjoy a morning with you being a good little slave? The joke he had used before having made her agree if she ever turned down any part of his training she would be his pleasure doll for an entire day. She was not in all ways his slave, he did not own her by any lawful means. She had offered her services, and he made sure she paid in fool. They had a game of these little deals, and he knew without a doubt if anyone would be able to end his life. She might manage it if he was lucky. Eva gave a look of disgust at the comment she hated this man with such a passion as she spat out, Yes I still have them at all times. She growled more to herself than to him, And I would remove a certain part if I was sure it would stay gone... She moved out of bed with a smooth motion as she moved to a table taking out a purple fruit from one of their travel sacks, cutting it into thin slices followed by two strips of dried rabbit meat. making two servings one for herself, and then one for him. She sighed as she moved taking up her travel trousers pulling them up over her black lace underwear he so graciously let her wear growling at the thought of the man. She slipped her dark green tunic around her front hiding her 36 C breasts from him, the black lace bra she wore there barely fit her. She could only smile as she thought it another nail in his coffin when she figured out how to do it. Tavi slipped out of bed running his hand over his smooth chin, and chest sighing as he knew there would be no hair. He was still in all ways the same as he had been on his twenty sixth birthday not a single difference a bitter thought for him. Without a word he picked up the strip of meat, and the strange local fruit eating them together made for a sweet fulfilling flavor so he did not mind it so much. Leaving his tunic top on the floor where he had tossed it last night he walked out of the room with the trousers he wore similar cut to hers. He slid his knife out of his back left pouch, Then lets go, I want to see if I can make you cry today like last time... He laughed as he spun the dagger in a small circle on his middle three fingers with a unconscious grace. She growled remembering last time when she had gotten so mad she launched an icicle at him. He had let it pierce his arm, and she had learned he was playing with her then. How power while not that great in itself mixed with his immortality was not fair. How did the world give a man like him such an ability. May the spirits grant me the power to overcome this man, and may they shun him the gift he could learn... The spirits avoided him while she cast spells so he could not learn her craft it could be taught. She knew he could not build muscle, or even change his hair because of his gift. She thought it a small trade herself for such power he could rule if he wanted she thought instead he was a murderer. Tavi walked with a purpose to a small clearing northwest of town, the spot held the picked clean bones of a large brown bear. The fifteen foot tall demon world backed away from him growling as it did not fight him for it's territory, Smart Beast, or do you want a repeat of last time? He knew the answer to that question the demon was smart, and though it 'owned' this forest it did not cross Tavi a second time. He pulled his blade in his left hand his right hand out to the side as he waited for her attack however she wanted to strike he allowed she could do anything to win the small duel or training session. However he warned her when she used her gift he would use his in the same degree. Eva was ready for his stance, she was allowed to attack him how she pleased, she had only ever hit the man once. She secretly was afraid these training sessions made him more skilled, but she had long since realized this was just an idle game for him he had been able to stop her with ease without her using her gift which was not an option she knew. She shifted through the bust, watching the bastard annoyed that he was ready to fight even mock her while they dueled. She found a spot almost silently lunging from the forest brush for him steel knife in hand as she extended looking to stab him in his upper left arm. Tavi smiled listening to her shifting in the forest, she was almost perfect she could probably sneak up on a deer if it had not been looking she was still unnatural in the forest as were all human kind. He pulled a small three holed flute from his pocket blowing a few notes before playing a soothing sound as he stepped back just out of range of her lunge dunking down under a sweep of her arm. He was quick moving with such an ease she missed him by the narrowest of margins. He was doing this intentionally trying to make her angry. He switched the notes to a more heated tune using six of the ten notes he could make with the small instrument. Knowing very well the other notes needed two hands, but it was just complicated enough she would know he worried more about the notes than the knife she flashed at him. Eva ground her teeth as the notes fluttered about slashing watching him move with such ease as she waited for the mistake he had to make sooner or later. Watching him not even raise his dagger as she flashed at him with a vicious need to hurt him she knew the match would end sooner or later she needed a move so she knew what would come next if she failed. Setting her stance she made a stabbing motion stopping in the middle of the swing the force she put into the first stab to make him dodge it made her switch take just a second too long. Tavi's eyes narrowed as he picked up rythem in his song moving faster knowing every sweep of the blade would take it then he noticed it a fraction of a second her hesitation his knife came up. He gave her no warning the motion almost so natural he must have been waiting as he sank his blade in her arm the scarlet red flowing on the edge of his blade dodging the first strike though seeing through the ploy with ease. This battle would only last a few more seconds. Eva's scream sounded as if it was someone else, the first time she was stabbed like this she had screamed her throat hoarse. She knew what a mistake meant as her mind went blank with rage she wanted to scream 'no' but it was too late the spirits shot to her, wind to make her move faster. The earth to strengthen her, Fire to sooth the wound, and water to stop the blood. It had happened so quickly she knew it was wrong, she knew it would lead to regret, but she moved ready to stab him with his knife. Tavi saw the odd shifting to the world around as the girls power infused her. He could not imagine being able to stop her with that speed, and even the strength as he flashed his blades blocking about half of them before his voice was a boom, Enough! Each knife wound produced a small cut in his clothing, but no blood showed the wounds closing fairly rapidly. Tavi was strong willed pretending no pain flared across his body at each stab. His eyes shifted they took on a strange quality all white, then a black along the edges as they linked together he could feel her rage her strength. Her speed he felt as though he could move like her, but something was missing for him. She knew what would come soon, he knew she would not stop right away. Eva wanted to stop at his voice, but something inside her stirred her spirits making everything seem distant as she sank his dagger into Tavi's chest right through his heart. Pain burned in her chest right where she stabbed him her blades creating small flares of pain as he seemed to just let her stab him until the rage was devoured by her pain as she dropped her daggers falling to the floor crying each cut she felt on him not the same. He did not link fully with her, she had seen his eyes turn colors with the degrees of the link. This was just for her to learn with. She hated this man as she convulsed on the ground emptying her stomach then writhing on the floor. Tavi grinned at her pain giving a sigh that sounded to close to a man getting off as his face twitched just lightly. He waited for all the cuts to heal, only a few seconds looking down to her, Be glad your nerves don't regenerate the pain stops quicker. Than when they regenerate as fast as they burn out. He grabbed the knife twisting it his arm twitching as he did so before he ripped it out from his chest a few drops of blood hitting the ground as he wiped the blade on the ground before sheathing it. Don't do that around me girl it doesn't hurt that bad... He dropped a small skin of water on the other side of her head. Meet me by the lake... It is time we cleaned up. The town folk will not like it if we come back covered in blood again. Eva hissed at him as if the bile was only secondary to him before she spit it out taking up the water skin to take a drink spitting out more. She watched as the wound on her arm began to close to the divine spirits of hers circling if he had kept the link up he could have healed her with his unnatural healing. She knew once he found she could heal herself he had stopped helping. How do you take the pain with so little emotion you thrice damned bastard! She followed him despite it all. Eva would one day end this man's existence. She had to tell herself that knowing the man would expect her to show off some. --To be Continued later--
