(( Sorry about dropping out so much, I tend to do that. It's not a trait I'm typically fond of. I have time to myself again since I don't work anymore. Mind if I come back in? I can delete this post if you want. ))<br/><br/>Two figures walked walked silently under the darkened sky. The moon made silhouettes out of their bodies as they walked through the twisted alleyways.<br/>"Even the stars are dead in this forsaken place," said one stranger in a weathered voice. The iris of his good eye dilated with wary consideration; the crystal in the other glinted dully in the twilight.<br/>His companion, Zen, turned his cloaked head toward him. His face was completely unseen by the outside world. "It brings back memories. Many died in this here city, but there were others -- others like me -- who were determined to live on. Though just like me, they are no longer human." Zen said and gave a little cackled laugh.<br/><br/>"There are others like you, here?" the one-eyed man said with a twinge of fear in his voice.<br/><br/>"Certainly, Sarin. Though their powers are different from mine. . ." He stroked the hilt of his sword reassuringly. "There's malice on the wind. I can taste it in the air and sense it in the very core of the earth. These monstrosities must be purged from this world. They're an abomination, only I should be the one to have such powers. Me and me alone."<br/><br/>"But sir, if I may be so bold. They were once human too, like you." Sarin replied."It just doesn't seem right."<br/><br/>"Do you dare compare them to me!? They are nothing like me! I recruited you for your loyalty Sarin, not for questioning my authority! Or did you forget what happened to Hex when he failed to follow orders?" Zen hissed at him. "Now, leave me be and go back to the warehouse. Tell the others that we strike at dawn."<br/><br/>Sarin quickly left Zen's side without another word, tripping over a trashcan as he made his way back to the warehouse.<br/><br/>"I sense a presence somewhere nearby. My sword shall taste blood yet again." Then Zen vaporized into the very air. Vanishing without a trace.<br/><br/>((For those of you that might be confused, here's a re-cap. Ok Zen is alive after what happened early on in this RP, but I wont go into detail on that. After that he fled the city in search of allies to assist him and killing the survivors of the radiation bomb. The allies he hired are of no real importance, they don't have powers; they are normal humans. You can kill them off if you want and make up whatever dialogue you want for them. The only ally that is of any real significance is Sarin. If you have any questions you can just send me a PM. ))
