The Beast Within ((Open))

[Saasha]

A bit of mood music for your entertainment.

Silver coated teeth clamped down around the demon's neck with a sickening gushing crunch and it let out a gurgling scream as blood gushed from it's open maw. But before it's body hit the ground, all sound had ceased- it's murderer moving on to it's companions as it's soul was swept away to meld into the blur of dark smokey blue fur.

Saasha was on the hunt. Her heart raced, her lungs panted, her mind was blank, and she was fairly giddy with blood-lust. What. A. Rush! A loud growling roar shook the air as her massive paws found their way into the chest of another demon, knocking it to the ground and crushing it's rib cage beneath her weight. Her fore-paws twisting within the flesh of the creature beneath her with a series of satisfying creaks, she twisted her hind legs around and smashed them into the face of yet another hopeful attacker. Her long tail wrapped around it's throat, snapping it cleanly and lifting it off of the ground to throw the limp carcass into a smaller group of beings that had formed.

Blood. Oh the blood. How sweet! She took the smallest of moments to draw her great head to the sky and let out a howl of sweet satisfaction. The howl morphed into an something resembling a laugh that could be heard even over the tops of the roofs of the far off town. Animalistic, haunting, and absolutely mad with pleasure. This is what she had missed. This is what she had craved! Finally, something other than the pathetic lower classes she had been forced to hunt as of late. But now. Now with the blood of Daikus fueling her power and might... she felt invincible again. She had her old body back. She had her mind. She had her brother. Her father was alive. Byron was forever erased... She was whole again!

It was these truths that had sent her into a dizzying frenzy of pure and unbridled joy after Anthony had left her to her thoughts for a while. But there was one other thing that fueled her. There was one other thing that had driven her into this bloodied feast. This was not her human side. This was not Narissa Strong that howled under the suns. No. Ironically enough, having the control and poise of her human side returned to her had unleashed urges long suppressed and buried within her for decades. And for a moment she let it go.

Now, she stood on the outskirts of the city in her full demon form, corpses under her paws, blood lining her jowls, her orange eyes glowing even in the light of the sky and red glinting off of her silvery teeth. No, for the moment, she was not Narrisa Strong. But then, neither was she Saasha... She was Anthony Redgrave's only living familiar. And she was showing full well why she held that title. But even yet... for the first time in near thirty-two years... She was giving in to her impulses. To the voices that lie beneath her humanoid mind. Those primal urges that fueled and tugged at every demon in existence. For one time, only once, she had given in. And it. Felt. Great!

The howl ceased and her bright burning orange eyes leveled upon the remaining many that surrounded her. A toothy smile exposed her interlocking jaws. The fun was just beginning. She leaped again, maw open and claws leaving deep craters in the chest of the dead beast beneath her. All of her multiple eyes open and glowing with a unadulterated thirst long held back. For the first time in her life, she embraced what she was. She was a demon.

[saneatsu]

*Saneatsu had been standing on top of a building spire, listening to the force when he felt something. Many were dying and hurt, though what exactly he couldn't tell. He zero's in on the source, looking for the disturbance through the force. Unfortunately it was far, very far away but not outside his reach. He grins and steps forward off of the thin platform he was on. He disappears mid air in a puff of smoke before reappearing on a battle field filled with dead demons and one that was killing them. He doesn't hide his presence though, instead he lets his force flow out like the blood on the ground.

Hmm well this is interesting. That dog thing seems to be taking care of these guys so I guess I'll just sit back until she's done.*

[Saasha]

Fresh blood flowed from her jowls as she bent her neck over the fallen demon at her feet. Her lips pulled back over her teeth and her glowing orange eyes fixated upon the newly arrived figure. But the distraction only lasts a moment. His non-demonic scent proving of no interest to her- nor the flux she felt within her aura- she continued in her activity. Only three left anyhow. Her feast was coming to an end... Now.

A razor-clawed harm raised to rip across her face with a malicious abandon. But the attack was short-lived as the massive wolf dipped under the slice and grasped a hold of it's midsection. The moment the teeth collided with the flesh, the jaws were shut and the being found itself with a gaping cavern for a abdomen. Saasha batted it out of the way, her own claws lengthening and hardening, ripping the creature to literal ribbons.

The last two, however, reached a very different fate as their sights turned- not to the wolf- but to the newcomer. And so, with roars of eagerness, they charged.

[saneatsu]

*Saneatsu thought the giant wolf thingy was going to attack him. However it seemed that he wasn't interesting enough for it. He stands there watching the destruction when he hears roars and see's two demons charging him. He smirks as electricity arcs up and down his arms. He had been itching for a fight and now he had one.

He holds out his arms, palms facing the demons, and lightening arcs through the air at the two who continue to charge for another few seconds. When he see's his first blast isn't stopping them he sighs and hits them with another blast, this time though he holds it, pushing more and more electricity at the two.

They eventually stop walking and fall to the ground but he doesn't let up. He had made no offense towards them, he had simply been standing there so he felt their death was justified. He continues to electrocute the pair for a few more seconds before stopping. They lie still for a moment before trying to get up again, their nervous systems overloaded.

He had thought them dead but it seems he'll have some fun after all. His saber ignites in a flash of blue and in a flurry of blue streaks the two were lying on the ground, their heads rolling next to them, severed cleanly.

He again takes his stance, arms folded, saber once again hidden. He is staring at the demon wolf thingy his eyes glowing silver, trying to see if he can sense any hostility towards him.

Through all of this no words were spoken, only his aura held his emotions of excitement and now peace having been able to stretch his wings so to speak.*

[Saasha]

With a slight huff and a sighing grunt, Saasha's eyes dimmed their glow from that harsh, piercing orange to a dull ambiance. Her fun was over for the time being. After all, even though she would have loved nothing more than to seek out new prey, this being was hardly the type she had in mind. Not being a demon, he was not on her list of things she was allowed to kill and she was slightly beginning to regret that fact. He looked like he would be a fun little-

No no ok that was not the right type of mindset. Not when her demonic side was egging her on. No, her fun was done. She shivered in slight irritation at the notion, but there was nothing to be done. But... That didn't mean she couldn't have some fun...

Resisting the mischievous wolfy smile tugging at her muzzle, she reached her neck out and turned her head, making sure that her sniffs at the air could be heard. Another head turn back the other way. And another. An ear twitch. A blink. She was studying him, but not in the way perhaps he thought.
