When the other spoke it jerked Chay from his thoughts and he frowned"Matters not who I am" he stepped forwards and his nearly white gray eyes scanned the being in front of him, he really didn't know why this man was a threat, his powers perhabes? "I've been sent here to collect your essence" he pointed the tip of his blade towards the other and it started to glow before, much to Chay's suprise, it quickly faded. Anger flashed in the shadow shifters eyes and in a flash he had Kai against the tree, shadows wrapped around the males body keeping him there as Chay looked at him "Why can't I take your essence..." he muttered as he ungloved his hand and placed it on Kai's chest only to frown again when nothing but pain met his palm. He knew now he couldn't kill him if he tried, Something about this man was blocking his powers and it was most interesting "What is your name?" he said, his voice less threating now and calm.
