Whispers in the Dark-Lenega

[Linx]

The moon cast a dim glow over the empty city, and a pair of crimson eyes stared out across the deserted buildings. Almost instantly, the entire population had been killed by a monster known as Veran. Now, the only living, relatively speaking at least, creature here was Vincent Valtieri. An ancient vampire and last of the spartans, by all ancient rites king, he was silent as he stood atop on of the higher buildings, looking at the desolation with a sense of despair. He'd heard of the Arashi wandering this new land called Genesis, but had decided he needn't involve himself, figuring that the issue would resolve itself. Because of his desire to remain uninvolved, the Arashi were still running loose, even if an uneasy peace had settled across the land, and many had died. He felt a sense of responsibility to the dead, because he chose to not take up arms to defend them. Perhaps if he had, these people would have remained alive.

Now, he'd begun hearing new whispers in the shadows, and with them a name. Elric, son of Sadric, last of the Dragon Emperors of Melniboné had arrived here. Vincent knew Elric, had fought him what seemed like years ago. He had been part of a group known as the Blood Dynasty, seeking to establish their superiority over earth. Vincent had founded his own organization, the Twilight Brigade in order to combat them, and had eventually reduced the war to a series of covert attacks against one another. Now, with Elric loose in this new land with much more potent weapons at his disposal, if he'd decided to kick off his machinations once more, he could pose a serious threat. He frowned as he lowered himself to a sitting a position, leather clad legs dangling off the edge of the building as he rested his chin in his palm. He vowed silently to himself then and there to involve himself should more innocent people be threatened. This may not be his world, but he'd be damned if he'd let more innocent people die.

Lenega stared at the area. It had been devastated, but what had been here before him that had caused so much destruction. The words that had been heard across the entire continent, where the light had been snuffed out; no that wasn’t right the light was still there even if it was faint. Nothing would ever be able to truly, put it out, but there were rumors not about that shadowy figure roaming about.

What were his plans? Was he even real or just some common subject for people to speak of? It was a tricky question to say the least, but for now until it proved otherwise it wasn’t something to be worried over. Instead his intentions here today were simple really. His whole objective was to find what had happened here and stop it from ever happening again.

So much had been lost here in a single moment, but the large question was why? What had this place ever done? Perhaps it had been those aligned with Darkness. Darius was a lost soul, but even he would never think of doing something terrible like this. His fists trembled. When he found the person responsible he would make sure it never happened again. That was a promise.

It was at that time that he spotted a person in the distance he turned towards him as he slowly brought one of is daggers to his hands not really knowing what to expect from this encounter. ”Hey! You there!” Lenega called at as he approached the person his dagger still hidden from site. He didn’t want to cause more trouble than he had to as he stopped just a bit short of the man as his breath became clear under the moonlight.

”What brings you out here?” he asked careful to keep his distance since he didn’t yet know what brought the other here. If he was lucky it would be someone like himself. Someone who wanted to prevent another tragedy like this from occurring again, and if he wasn’t so lucky it might be the very same person who had caused it.

Vincent snapped back to reality at the sound of a shout, rising gracefully to his feet in an action far too quick to be human. He watched the man approaching, noting that he carried one hand hidden casually behind him, probably concealing a weapon. Well, he wasn't attacked on sight, which was definitely a good start to their hopeful civil conversation, and so he felt obliged to at least respond to him. "I came to view the cost of indifference." he says, sweeping his arms out to encompass all of the surrounding city. "This is the result of good men remaining idle while threats hammer down the doors of others." he says, spitting the words out, hatred for himself welling up.

"I've come to burn this into my mind, what happens when I choose to not take action against a threat moving against all people. I may not be of this world, but it is as much my home as my world ever was. I have a duty to try and protect these people, and I ignored that duty. This is what happens." he ends softly, hatred and sadness swelling within him. "I've failed these people, and I wanted to make sure I knew what happened because I refused to help. I want to make sure this never happens again." he says, sighing softly before a thought occurs to him. "What of you? Why have you come here?" he asks, curious as to what would bring someone else out to this darkened husk of a town in the dead of night.

Lenega blinked. The cost of indifference? What did he mean by that? Lenega blinked at what the man said. He had no ill will as far as he could tell. Lenega lowered his guard and let his hands relax though he would still be able to get something if he needed it. He slowly shook his head at the man. He had to help this man understand in some way.

His face however was already set for the tone. So much had been lost here. How could he not reflect that much? It was the least he could do to honor the fallen. ”If you had been here, it’s very possible that you may have ended up like this city.” he said. Lenega himself might be what was considered “strong”, but even he had reserves about confronting what may have caused this. His eyes gazed over the city as he took in the man’s words.

A duty to protect these people. He frowned. It seemed letting these sort of things play out was becoming more and more out of the question. Darius, will you even stand against such things? he wondered to himself. Darius always had his own agenda, but Lenega was convinced there was shred of good left in him. The question was now how to get it out of him, but that was a matter for another time. Lenega pushed Darius out of his mind and focused on the man in front of him.

He had asked him a question. Lenega’s eyes went to surveyed the city in front of him as he answered. ”This city. When arrived I felt the light within this city. Then it all went out in one terrible moment.” he said. In a way their goals here were similar, both wanted to stop whatever caused this destruction. He slightly nodded. ”I’m not from this world either, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a responsibility to do what we can. Theres no telling how long we’ll be stuck here for.” he said as his gaze returned to the man.

His voice was quiet in this place, but it still held a certain resolve behind it as he spoke. ”That’s why I’m here. This sort of thing can’t be allowed to happen again. Theres no telling how much damage will be caused the next time or how many innocent people will lose their life.” he said as he realized he might be giving more of an explanation then the other required or really wanted. ”Have you found anything?” he asked quietly.
