"I didn't realize succubi had things they weren't into. Curious. I do rather enjoy this battle though. I've not had a challenge like this in a long while." Anasil watched the death continue to spread through her wraiths, eyes catching the slide of shadow about only briefly at best during the strikes.<em>Is the shadow part of his body or an extension of power? If I slide the dust on it will it cover or transfer to the main body or is he sending a separate entity out of himself to strike through the blade? This grows more interesting by the moment.</em>She had as little reason to stop the attempts to kill him as he did to kill her although it certainly wasn't personal, more of a deadly game of cat and mouse to pass the time while they talked.<br/><br/>Pride was such an unusual thing, she mused, not completely alien as a concept but far removed from what she was once. The mercenary nature of her kind and their business found it kept or discarded as needed.<em>Ah, I want his soul. It could be so useful along with his body but it's proving a little troublesome. Then again... how many souls pass through his fingertips in that realm? Or better yet... I could use him to lure those of his stature in power away from their own realm. Thinking they would be reborn outside of the Abyss I could use him to devour those in his way. That would be useful as well no? How best to handle this...</em><br/><br/>"I see, so defeating Methu would assuage or restore such a thing? Pardon me if I have difficulty understanding such a sentiment. All I see here is at most you defeat him, however temporarily, and return with what little remains of your army or no army at all. Those of my kind don't understand such things since it seems to have little gain involved. Your plan has you returning empty handed rather than bringing back something of value. Is the act of simply humiliating Methu valuable where you are from? I can't imagine so if these are all the forces that were assigned to this. This kind of army is more a token show of force than anything that could threaten something like me, Methu, or yourself."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Readying to try to glitterdust him when he strikes again.
