A slight wind rustled her thick tan travelers coat around her feet, the hood pulled up to conceal her face. Beneath the shadow of the cloak a pair of dark ruby lips were parted by the tip of a tongue that smoothed over the bottom lip then retreated. Cyan eyes scanned the surroundings and memorized the points of interest. Oh were oh were to begin? Lithe fingers tapped on the silvery hilt of the rapier under her cloaks, the slightest clink of metal on metal sounding as she did so. She had only just arrived but a few days ago and she had already procured a pet... delightful indeed. Her thirst had been slaked by that poor fellow and now she was in a much better mood. A better mood meaning that she was no longer pining what had been missing for so long. The blood... oh how deliciously sweet it had been, and now she had him whenever she wanted him. So far she was liking this world.
She had kept her hold on the Force go to hide her sensitivity and had pulled her blackened aura into herself to cloak it as well. she didn't want anymore run in's with unwanted pests. This thought made her twitch her metal taloned hand against her rapier. No that was the last thing she needed right then. The only thing she wished for at the moment was to be in the middle of a luxurious club with a fine wine in her hand, music blaring from the speakers, and no one giving a crap who she was. Yes, that was what she needed... Well, at least the booze.
But after that, she would continue with the real reason she was here... To find that pathetic bitch and her student. But for now, might as well enjoy her time.
Her goal set in her mind, she removed her hood from her features using two delicate fingers, exposing her face to the setting sun's rays. The three bio-gems on her forehead mirrored the color of her eyes and glistened when the light hit them and her wavy golden hair fell from her hood and spilled over her shoulders in cascades. She smiled to the sun as the warmth filled her with delight. Time to find a new haunt.

"My, My. What's a woman of your stature doing here in a place like this. A little dangerous, wouldn't you say?" There was a dark, rasping voice from five feet ahead of her, the accent obviously European. In front of her stood a man with long gray hair wearing an over coat and jeans. He didn't look like much. "So tell me, what are doing at this time. Hm?"

The voice sparked her attention as she looked up from her path. an interesting voice... Her lips almost curled into a smile when she felt the darkness flowing off of him in radiant waves. But then something inside of her stirred as a shiver ran up her spine... something was very wrong. Then she felt it- death, agony, fear, terror, anguish... What was this? For the first time in a long while, she actually gave a small quake. Whatever it was powerful, consuming, and thick... it was alluring to the woman.
She recovered herself and her eyes gleamed with a small bit of curiosity as she answered, her soft, sweet, sensuous voice flowing to the man like the harmony of a thousand flutes. Yet it held a certain aspect that warned of dark evil behind those lips, "I suppose danger has always followed me, so why should I run from it?" She never stopped her pace as she spoke, approaching him with the intent to walk right by to see what he would do. "I could ask you the same. Looking for trouble yourself?" By this time she had taken her first step past him.

"Trouble? No, Victims? Perhaps." He played with his words in a coy manner. He was now a few steps away from her, blocking her path. His shadow over bearing upon her as she would feel the ever potent power of hell upon her. "You've been a bad girl Reira dear. Let's go back to my place and talk about disciplinary actions." At that moment, hands of darkness reached up from the shadows. Skeletal in nature, the shadows stuck to them much like tar before latching onto their prey and beginning to now drag her into the depths of the now molten blackness.
When she awoke, she'd find herself in a world that was neither here, nor there.

With a start she bolted to her feet and her hand flew to her rapier without a single thought as to what had just occurred. All she knew was that she was no longer in a place she knew and that- She paused. He had known her name. How had he... Her thoughts trailed off as she took in her surroundings. Not much to look at. Blackness.
Immediately, she pushed her force out in all directions and pulled a thin, shimmering barrier around her flesh. It settled into her and became invisible. Now where was he?

An echoing chorus of cackles surrounded her before finally converging on one location as the man seemed sit upon a golden throne with red velvet cushioning a few ways away. There was a platform underneath the throne which was connected to a small pyramid of three steps. "It's also so enjoyable to see one's reaction when they're brought here." He could be seen shuffling a deck of cards.
His true form came fourth and it appeared as if he were ancient Egyptian. "So tell me Reira." He lead on, continuing to shuffle the deck. "You've had such a disgusting past, even going as far as to enjoy those dirty little things you've done to get ahead... So I wonder, what kind of punishment do the cards hold for you?" As he said that, he drew three cards from the deck and they appeared in a bigger scale in between the both of them. The faces away from Reira to where all she would see is the back of the cards.
"Pick a card! Any card!" He began chuckling menacingly, "Though I must warn you. Decide not to play along and you relinquish this turn to me!"

After a pause, a small smile crept to her lips hand her hand found it's way to one curvaceous hip. "Hold on fucker. Who do you think you are? And how the fuck do you go about thinking you know a shit about me?" Her voice was calm enough, but her aura pulsed and radiated with irritation and curiosity. She narrowed her eyes in cold scrutiny as she studied him up and down then flickered her gaze to the cards that sat before her. Did he honestly think that she would play his game in a snap? No, she wanted her answers first... But after... Maybe.

"I'm sorry! That wasn't a correct choice." The words were spat out in a roar. "And because of that. You're chances of survival have just dropped." The center card flipped around revealing a cemetery that soon came to life. It's marshy ground raised from the shadows beneath them and the darkness held a pale, full moon. there was a cold brisk fog rolling around their ankles and many tombstones were strewn around the area.
Even his Throne had changed, he was now sitting upon an elaborate tombstone that held a name etched into the stone.
-----Reira Di-Suya
"Now, every time you fail to kill me. Twenty Percent of your life will be drained from you. And siphoned into me. Better hurry dear, you won't last long." A golden blade appeared on his forearm that was easily the length of two of his own forearms and razor sharp.

A hissing growl accompanied by a flash of silver eyes as her head rolled to the side and down to come back to it's place. An odd movement, but it was followed closely by a more calm response, "Fine. I play along." Her eyes locked with his for a moment before she drew her rapier and rested the tip upon the ground, crossing her wrists over the end of the hilt to relax a bit.
Was she afraid of death? No. She knew that there was no such thing as respawn in Genesis and likely in this world. In fact, if she was right about where she was, she was as good as dead. But would she ever admit that? A mental chuckle was all she needed. No, she wouldn't. "I hope you don't mind if I get comfortable." She purred rather nonchalantly.

"You'd better hurry. For the more time you take..." A golden metal brace appeared around her left wrist. An odd Egyptian eye was carved onto it the containment of the eye was that of a glowing yellow energy bar that seemed to dwindle a little bit. On his bracelet, the same thing could be seen. Except a portion of his life bar turned green. "The more life is taken from you."

She felt something tugging at her core when the line receded in her bracelet. Not a good sign surely. But her only response was a malicious smile. She raised her the metal talons on her left hand to motion for the far left card. "So who exactly am I in the presence of? Surely not some half-rate joker from what I can tell." She spoke as she motioned.

"Well, isn't that an elegant way to phrase the question?" He played with his words as he flipped the card over. It vanished and in its place was a deteriorating corpse with long white, tangled hair and a maw like a shark's mouth. Fingernails lengthened into claws. what skin remained was brown and leathery and other parts of flesh was purple or even further discolored. "But no matter how elegant the question is phrased. I never answer." The creature lashed out, charging full stride at the target with claws and teeth ready.
"It leaves things much more interesting and... suspenseful."

A loud crackle of electricity sounded from her hand as black lightning twisted around her flesh and ignited her rapier as she raised it's razor edge to slice through the beast's midsection horizontally. At the same time, she had turned her torso to the side just as she beast reached ehr to let it fly past her. Well, into her blade. A little pull with the Force aided it's progress.

The ghoul seemed to burst into a thick purple miasma that fell upon the area and didn't seem to fade away. "Now you've done it." He said mockingly scolding her. "You've released the Plagued Ghoul's purpose. That miasma that's around you will now whittle down your life further by thirty percent. Not to mention the previous card's nice little ability which, due to failing again takes another twenty percent of your life and gives it to me." His own life gauge going up a little more as her slowly dropped. Soon the miasma would set in. "Third and final card before you get another turn. What are you going to do? I encourage you to try and end me."

She closed her eyes and let a hissing breath escape through her teeth as her life gauge dropped further. Oh how sweet this was becoming. While she didn't like the fast that she was loosing, it was rather refreshing to feel weakness again. For so long she had been at the top of her food chain- the assassin that never got caught. The only one who had ever been able to even get her to feel the slightest bit of fear or respect had been her master... And now sweet memories of him swept through her mind. The feeling of his claws on her flesh, the pain he inflicted up on her day after day- whether from his hand or his mental toying with her. Yes, she began to miss her master.
Her eyes flashed open to reveal her once again mirrored silver irises. Her dark crimson lips parted and her pink tongue slipped out to smooth over them. She moaned a bit in response to the sudden drop in her life force. "What a sick game you play. Then again, isn't that just life?" She laughed softly as playful gaze settled on his form. "I hate being at the mercy of any man, but it would seem that I have little choice now doesn't it?" Suddenly, a great pulse of pure power surged within her and shot out in all directions, creating a visible orb of energy. It was filled with contempt, hatred, loathing, malice, and a little something else. Deep within her bosom, the dark seed pulsed and writhed to fuel her and try press out the miasma. Along with it, black tendrils of her aura shot out of the darkness and surrounded him. Pulling upon his own life and the Force itself to feed her and heal her.
