<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/51/Venom-550x362.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>Sam DeMarco<br/><strong>Alias</strong>Umbra<br/>Tagging: Akiko, Livewire, Any<br/><hr/><br/>Malcarion chuckled at Akiko's sally, an impossibly wide grin on his face.<strong><em>See, she does want the filthy animal coupling with you. Or perhaps with us both.</em></strong>Before he could respond aloud, Amy drew his attention with her words. He cocked his head to the side as he listened to her.<strong>"Power is power,"</strong>he said, looking from one to the other.<strong>"It is what you do with it that others will call good or evil, and even then, those may be a matter of perspective."</strong><br/><br/>The air around him seemed to darken, as if the sun was passing behind a cloud, and the temperature dropped enough to send a shiver through unprotected skin.<strong>"Man has always feared the darkness, not simply for what it is, but what it conceals. The beasts that stalk beyond the circle of his campfire, ready to snatch the unwary away, only a brief scream to mark their passing. The darkness is not evil, it simply is. Embrace it, and it will shelter you as well as those you fear. Make it yours, and let them feel the fear instead."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"It is ... invigorating."</strong>His face split in another impossibly wide grin as he stared at the robot.<strong>"But you do not need to fear me. Only bad people need to."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Their fears never fade. Fear is a blade that sharpens with use, that sinks its fangs into their throats, drains the strength from their limbs, the courage from their hearts. So let the evil ones know we come. Let their fears defeat them as the darkness falls. As the sun sets ... as the city is wreathed in night ... let ten-thousand howls promise ten-thousand claws. We are coming for them, and no soul that stands against us shall see another dawn."</strong>
