"I suppose 'demon' is not the proper words to describe myself... Monster would be more fitting. But of course that's likely just what others would consider me..." He snorted at the words, Monster... that is what got him into this mess to begin with and it was the reason he was missing that leg right now. Shifting for a moment he thought on the question asked.
And then, he shoved that skull into the ground slightly pushing himself up to his legs grunting and then shaking as he stood, stretching slightly as he shook his head "If I did leave anything laying behind it's up by the oak... I just did what came natural... whether I ate the bone or not I don't know..." Though if he had he'd likely have a very annoyed stomach right now.
*ninja's new page* WOOT!

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Hm monster. This sounded really like a discription another one would give him.
She had observed him carefully the whole time... just in case, of course...
... so she was quick on her legs as he sterted to stand up again... also... just in case of course...
Tremor threw up her head, to get rid of a few streaks in her eyes, then she chuckled again.
"Hmhm... at the oak you say...? That enormous tree?"
She turned her head into the direction the tree would be, her tail whiping through the ari behind her. "You... don't need that thing anymore... if it is still there... do you...?" the white doe turned her head half back, looking at him.
He shook his head and chuckled "No... unless you plan on making it useful again and planting it back where it belongs..." Dipping his head down again Nightmare shifted and worked with the dead and blackened meat of the stub snorting deeply as he was picking at it and getting annoyed with it really "If this would grow back in a matter of days I'd be happier... I hate being crippled and brought down like this. Especially when there are so many that need me... that need my protection..."
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She perked her ears, smiled and gave him a strange look. "Oh, that was not exactly what I wanted to use it for... allthough it wouldn't be impossible."
She turned half around now, facing towards the direction in which the old oak would lie.... still having an eye on the beast next to her, though.
She rolled her eyes at the mentioning of protection.
"In need of protection, ahum..." she stated with a strange voice
"What wouldn't be impossible?" He questioned, quite baffled by what the doe was saying before he listened to how she responded to his other statement. Rolling the shoulder to that useless stump he snorted out "Even in this state my loyalties to my friends are strong... and with everything going on... with every night being something that often leads to a fight I really need to be able to protect them better. Three legs or not..."
A thick snort and a low growl came from him "I take it you don't like that?"
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
The growl let her smile again.
She was not really intimidated by this... rather... amused...
Oh she loved this sweet little speeches about loyality and protection and all that gibberish.
.... she actually didn't really listen to him.
The doe chuckled. "No. It just bores me." she replied to his last remar, demonstratively shifting her gaze away to look towards the oak again.
"And it wouldn't be impossible to stick that remained bone to your stumb again.... or... at another part of your body..."
A thick chuckle came up, it bored her... well he could relate. There was a time where he just felt that the loyalties and protection were useless... but now... emotions were back and they were something. A simple sigh came from him before that front leg bounced up and he was hobbling his way in the direction of the oak, tail swaying behind him... low and slow as he went "Hmmmmm..." He mused softly to her final words "And is there a... way to put a full leg in it's place? Or is that... impossible?"
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She started to walk as well, next to the creature... slow...
It was almost a bit hard for her to not impatiently burst out into a fast trott again.... her usual walking speed.
"If you have a leg at hand... actually not..."
Seems that one was utterly interested in her handy knowledge...
... of course. If she had been in his place...
Another musing sound came from Nightmare for a moment as he continued on, trying to quicken his pace for the doe as he moved... grunting slightly in the process. Running had gotten him into this three legged mess, it certainly wouldn't benefit him now "Any leg?" Nightmare questioned shifting as he glanced down to the stump and then back to her "It will be like new? Like the previous one?" Yes, she had caught his interest in her words, very much so.
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"Yes, any leg." she replied, giving him a quick, amused glance from the site.
"Well... not exactly like the old one... but as good and strong as the old one..." she gave him another look, observing him "... but... since you ...seem to be able to grow even legs back... i bet you wont notice the difference....
Shifting for a moment, the beast seemed to be contemplating where to get another replacement from... he mused over himself for a moment... a replacement would prove wonders for him and he could very well use one until the couple months when his new one would come into place, that and if she did give him a good leg to use his body would slowly adapt it to how his old one looked "Know where I could find a replacement?" He chuckled out deeply for a moment "I mean, it's not like anyone has a leg sitting out in the open for me to just grab..."
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She let out a loud laughter "Me? Hah do i look like some obscure trader for corpses?" she chuckled "If you want a new leg, you have to care for it. I will only made it stuck to your body." she suddenly stopped. Her tail whipeing through the air again.
"Besides... what would be the use for me in that whole thing hm?"
Nightmare snorted deeply and stopped for a moment as he looked at her... shaking his head and moving to turn around, stopping his motions of going towards the oak and working to head back to the hillside that he had been laying on "Well then I guess my time is being wasted... I can easily find a leg for whatever it is you do but I'm not sure you can even do it..." He snorted and shook his head as he continued on, slow and one hop at a time.
"Better hurry to the oak, by now someone else could have picked at whatever remains were there..."
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She snorted. "Nice try, big beast. You won't challance my proud on that... someone else tried me to trick me like that numerous times... " she turned around again, started to trott again, slowly.
She turned back her head, talking to him once more "Of course I could have helped you with your little problem... but... what reason do I have to do that for nothing? I don't even know you... it would just a unneeded risk for me."
He chuckled out for a moment before shifting, there was... one thing he could use here "You are a bone collector are you not? Since you seemed so interested in if my remains were consumed or left behind..." He stopped and glanced back to here "Near the ruins, there is the remains of my son... if you truly want something interesting to play with you are more than welcome to go take them... but of course you know what I'd want in return for them. I can go rip some leg off some poor sap around here and if you give me a quick patch up with it... My son was something special, and he is almost exactly like me."
Shaking his head he snorted and shrugged his shoulders, slumping himself back down to the ground and laying there relaxing.
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She stopped again. Thinking about this.
Then she turned around, a bright smile on her face. "Now this is something we can work with." she replied, her voice strangely silent.
"If you can actually give me, what you just told... then I would be ready to replace your missing leg... though..." she tilted her head slightly.
"I searched the graces for a few times now... didn't find more than a few smaller bones...." she propably didn't dig deep enough, though "How can I be sure you tell the truth...?"
Of course she was war about this. She had her experiences with... 'agreements' like that... not all of them good.
Nightmare shifted and watched her, he understood her doubts but he was very much a beast of his word "Darkness' remains were buried in a specific area, I can dig them up and show them if you require that... I would rather get rid of them than let them sit there anymore. And if you can make use of them well, it's better than them sitting in the soil being useless." He shrugged some and shifted "They were buried a short distance away, in an area where the sun shined through the trees, a sunbeam if you would, dig a couple feet and you should find the skull. And then the rest of his body follows."
Shifting again Nightmare shook his head for a moment stretching his jaws slightly "I am a beast of my word, I've nothing to gain from lies..."
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"Of course you are trustworthy..." she replied her voice full of irony.
She remained silent for a moment then she nodded. "Okay... how about this. We seperate for now. I go and check out your little darlings grave... and you go and hunt for some leg. When you got that certain limb... then you seek me out again."
(hrrr have to go offline soon... so this.... kinda end for now.... i hope you don't mind? |D)
(No Worries :3 Haha yeah it's getting to be a bit bad for me there, the weather is being non-to nice and it's storming >.O Which is making my net go off the wall. Thanks for the RP ^^ Nightmare shall go find some poor sap to steal a leg from in the meantime haha )
There was a chuckle to come from Nightmare before he lowered his head in a bit of a half bow to the doe "I am sure you will find everything intact... no one but you and myself know of his grave. And no one likely disturbed it, at least I would hope not." He nodded his head to what she said "Of course... I will see you in due time..."
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"We'll see..." she smiled again... giving only a short nod with her head... didn't even think about bowing.
"We will meet again, my beasty friend... tace care of the rest of your legs, till then..." with that she turned around, falling into a fast trott towards the ruins.
(haha thank you as well... and... eww bad weather... >_o cya two around then)
(Yeah we had a pretty bad storm run through last night, about every 5 or so minutes the net would get cut out because of it ><;;;; we've had our lines and everything fixed and it still messes up XD)
If the doe had been looking for him, she would find him... in the place he had mentioned she would find the remains of his son. A leg laid out beside him as the giant blue was digging at the ground and tugging up dirt, seeming to be looking for something which he found very easily after a few minutes.
With the area dug out, and with the leg of some poor deer that he had the fortune of running into late in the evening Nightmare had curled himself up and was resting next to the hole, long tail wrapped around himself as he relaxed in the warmth of the sunlight.
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She had found the remains like he had said.
Very good. An almost full intact skeletton... something very precious for her.
For now she brought it to a safe place... save from decaying ... save from hungry jaws... in case some of the creaures here would be interested in something like that.
In hr usual fast trott she approached the place where she yould sense the big creature...
A few meters away from him she slowed down... as she could see the creature indeed was able to get himself a 'new' leg.
Her mouth curled up in a smile.
Silently she approached, not entirely sure if the beast was sleeping or not... wary ... justin case...
He was laying out in the sun, stretched out and relaxing for the most part. The giant would seem to be sunning himself in all honesty with the leg he had so kindly ripped off of some poor deer that he'd come across. It took him awhile to find one that would provide him with decent balance, given his size and general height compared to most others in this forest.
Upon hearing footsteps he carefully lifted that head and glanced over... seeing the doe approaching him as he shifted slightly yawning for only a second "I take it you found that I was true to my word then... was he to your liking?" He questioned watching her carefully.
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
@graveyard: sooo finally. sorry for the long delay |DD
Her ears perked up as the large creature started to move. Hm not a asleep then.
She nodded slightly to greet him, before she answered. "Usefull." she replied with a hidden smile behind her mask.
Yes, that where those bones for her. And the skull... a very pretty one. She may would leave that intact... as a kind of... trophy.
The other bones would soon serve her own body very well.
She nodded again and chuckled.
"Well... my large friend... I see yu found what we need." she cocked her head, eyeing the ripped off leg next to the beast.
Suddenly she had to chuckle... as she thought about some poor one running around with three legs as well now... maybe she should search for them, offering them the same 'surgery' she was about to give this large beast.
Could become a very lucrative business in the end...
...though more likely that certain one wouldn't need a new leg anomre anyways...
He would stretch and yawn for just a brief moment before those sockets casted their gaze down to the severed leg. He did have to wonder if she would find anything of use to connect to his body, even with being careful the upper part of the leg was a bit messed up "I suppose I am... anything to get me back up and running on all four legs is better than being a gimpy old man..." He chuckled attention turning to her where she stood stretching out before shoving himself up to stand.
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"Good..." Without any further word she turned around again, looking around.
She needed a flat, clean surface now. Well... as clean as possible...
The doe actually needed to walk a few meters... the ground here was almost perfect for her. She nodded, more to herself... then with a whipeing movement... she stretched out her tail.
... strangely it seemed to be longer than before... as if the fast movement had let it grow somehow.
She sunk the tip of it to the ground, scratching a line into the dirt... longer and longer it became, until it finally was a full circle around her.
The doe turned around herself, looking satisfied.
"hmhm yes I believe this is big enough. Would you come over and sit down insite this circle, my large friend?" she looked back over her shoulder, giving the beast a wink. "And don't forget the leg..."
He watched carefully before dipping his head down and carefully taking up the leg as to not damage it more. Slowly he made his way over, a caution tap of his good foot touching the circles edge before he carefully walked in. It was a natural response really, as he had never dealt with things like this. Shaking his head, Nightmare moved and slowly brought himself down sitting the leg near her as he stretched out and got comfortable, curling his tail lightly.
He seemed a bit uneasy but it was likely to be expected "Interesting..."
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She watched him stepping insite the circle, then she stepped closer again
Her tail curled around the leg, lifted it carefully... and placed it in front of the creature's stumb.
Tremor stepped out of the curcle again, taking a look at the whole scene... then she nodded, again looking satisfied.
"Good. Now just two things... don't move... and don't speak.... don't disturb my concentration in any way... " her voice had a sharp sound... then she smiled again "It could hurt a bit..."
then she turned around again, slowly walking along the circle, her tail dragging behind her drawing a second one.
As she finished the second circle, she bowed down towards the ground, starting to mumble in a strange language, walking around him a second time... while filling the two circles with ancient runes and symbols...
Those black voids watched her carefully, glancing down when the leg had been parted and thrown up in front of his stubbed leg... he remained silent, never making a sound. Quiet and watching ever so carefully as she stepped outside the ring, a twitch would come. He didn't care about pain, he dealt with enough of it everyday to be honest. And if he couldn't take pain he never would have ripped his leg off in the first place.
At her words not to move, Nightmare stopped... not sound... nothing, his body had been trained to lock up and freeze when required. Curious, he kept locked in place... wondering how long the process would take really. Of course, he did have all the time in the world... so long or short it didn't matter.
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
On and on she walked until the circle was all filled up with symbols and marks. This took several minutes, her mumbling wouldn't stop once the whole time... allthough the language was almost not to understanf it seemed the words where repeated over and over again. flowing into a mubled chanting in the end...
... finally she stopped in front of the creature in the circle, turning around herself again, her tail dragging another smaller circle in the sand again in a fluent, elegant movement and filled it with one last curved symbol... it almost looked like some part of a dance...
All of the sudden her chanting stopped... her tail cut the air again, whipeing down to her own throar, ripping off fur and skin... exposeing bright red blood...
She froze in place... letting the blood run down... and finally dripping into the smaller circle.
As soon as the blood touched the ground, the white doe broke down with a sight... her fur wet from sweat, her breath heavy... obviously exhaused from some great exertion.
Almost in the same moment small, red roots growing out of the ground next to the cut off leg and the beast in the circle... reaching for both of them... letting the bulse and wriggle, as if the dead muscles where tensed from some sudden burst of electricity...
A white, sharp thorn grew out of the leg... the bone, seeking its way to his new body...
... with violently it forced its way into the stumb of the beast... while fles, fur and muscles started to grow...
Still, frozen... doing as she said, those small red orbs in those sockets were more visible as they followed the does form as she continued on. Ears taking in the words though he did not understand them in the least, it was foreign to him... completely foreign and unknown. When she stopped, those red orbs seemed to disappear, barely a fleck in the black voids of his skull.
With interest he watched that tail, keeping his mind at ease as she did what she did. Nothing was normal in this forest so watching her do such things did not bother him, even when she drew to her throat and made a slice through for blood. When things started to happen, there was tension in the giant blue stags body as those things came from the ground and slowly worked on drawing the two parts together... he watched, waited...
Holding in any urge to roar out when that thick white bone of the body jabbed itself into his body a twitch, his body wreathing slightly from the sharp pain. He picked up the scent, nothing bothering him other than the twang of pain coming from the stub and where flesh was melding with flesh... turning and growing. Any other creature might have screamed out in agony, but Nightmare... he was used to such things...
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
The doe threw up her head, jaws opened in a silent scream, as if she was feeling the pain herself... then her heas sunk down to the ground again... starring with wide opened, now comletely white yes... as if the procedure had blinded her...
A few last movements of the leg... then it was finally attatched to the creatures body...looking like it was literally melted to it... the differnt colors fadeing into each other softly...
Tremor still lay where she had broken down... still panting... her eyes closed now.
"There... we.... go..." she mumbled while the bleeding on her throat slowly stopped...
He watched her, intently... one minor twitch here and there from the pain as it slowly subsided. Keeping that full attention on her he shifted before feeling that it had been proper to move. Attention turning to the leg that was now melted into his flesh... a satisfied sound coming from him. This would work nicely as a mold for the new one to grow over and meld with. And it meant he wouldn't have to go through the trouble and pain of growing the bones themselves, they would just have to mold to fit with the needs of the leg as it took over.
Carefully he stood up and moved over to her, testing out the limb... putting weight on it and making sure it was secure. Circling he slowly brought himself to lay down beside the exhausted doe "You are quite... talented..." He let out not looking down at her as he spoke "But I can see how much of a troubled task this must be. You are drained... exhausted beyond reason..."
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She opened her eyes again... back to normal this time...
He watched the creature standing up... testing out the leg.
A feeling of satisfaction mixed up with the exhaution. The final proof that she had succeeded.
The doe took in a deeb breath, forced her head up again as the large beast sat down next to her. He proud wouldn't allow her to show any more exhaution than needed now...
...actually she would prefare to be alone now, so no one would see her in this weakened state.... but she didn't mention anything.... still not fully trusting the creature next to her... and didn't want to offend it with any rude requests.
"That was.... the reason... why I asked you for... a payment.... in return..." a weaksmile in her tired face. "Would... you ... maybe... now tell me your name.... my large... friend...?"
"Nightmare... and the remains that you have were my son Darkness..." No sense in playing with riddles and words now, she had done more than enough by giving him the use of that leg again and with time... a couple weeks even, the leg wouldn't even look like it wasn't a part of his body "I just hope those old bones are something you can use... I'd feel terrible if they weren't."
He chuckled, yes... he would leave her be if she desired to be left alone. But only if she asked really, or showed signs that she wanted it so. His attention turned to the leg again, as he tapped the hoof slightly, that was something he certainly had to get used to.
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"Nightmare... hmhm... I like that name... you... can call me Tremor..."
She chuckled again. Oh yes they where... they where... would serve her as weapons and as armor in the future...
"Hmh... don't worry... they will be of great... use..." she stopped for a moment... hear breath slowly calming down... but still the exhaution would last a few days...
She glanced over to him again.
"I hope your leg is to your pleasure as well... ? Can... can you move it propperly.... feel... it...?"
He shifted and moved the limb, testing it and feeling it. Yes he could very well feel every part of it, though it was so very different from his actual leg. Pulling the limb up he looked it over and stretched it, swiveling the hoof slightly before snorting "It'll take a bit of time to get used to, but it's very good... moves well, feels good... I haven't had hooves in years though..." He mused softly shifting again and moving to stand holding his natural leg up and putting pressure on the new one.
"At least now I won't have so much trouble, that... and I'll be better off when I need to fight..." A soft growl came from him before he shook his head "Tremor? It sounds very fitting..."
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"At least it's a leg... guess... you... won't find anything pefrctly fitting your .... shape.. anyways..." she replied with a weak chuckle, before she took another deeb breath.
Her head felt strangely light... her sight got limitted all of the sudden by danceing little black and white stars.
She felt like she would lose consciousness soon... but still... she was to proud to show anything.
"I can... only return that... your... name... seem..... to.."
She rolled her eyes... her head sunk down to the ground with a sigh. Finally her body demanded its right...
(pff... hope you don't mind this stop again... |D ... we can start another rp anytime again, of course... <3 )
(I don't mind in the least ^^ haha thanks for the RP, it was quite a pleasure And fun~)
The beast watched as she drifted, watching as she fell to the world of Slumber. Slowly he stood and made sure that she was in a comfortable state before slowly he moved, it was time to test out that new leg of his. And walking was likely the best way to test it out, it held his weight... he made a good choice with it. Even if it was a deer leg, giving one glance back... Nightmare soon slipped off through the trees... he had to be prepared for what was to come.
—
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Hooves on wet stone, they strike sharply, sound so clear. They slice through the morning quiet with no effort.
She trod over the bridge, only to backtrack immediately. No, she had decided, what was needed was on the east side of the bridge. Hooves left the rock with a frantic clatter; this was frustrating business.
"Sunshine." Her voice was like her movements, clear and cutting and brimming with anticipation. "I know you're there."
Her ears flickered as she heard the noise from the outside. She sighed. Actually she had thought this place she chosed to rest and recover where one of the best hideouts around.
The best to hide her shameful weakness and exhaution from anyone she knew. It was just one day after the little ritual she performed to give this Nightmare-creature a new leg... and she felt still miserable.
That was the price for things like that..
However, obviously she was wrong, concerning her hideout....
On the other hand.... Abseilen was a master in finding her, anyways.
She let out a growling noise. Decided not to answer and pretend she wasn't here.
"You know, this place stinks of blood and brimstone." Drawled from above. Her voice told plainly that she was growing bored of this game.
She lowered, and collapsed heavily on the ground aside the stone bridge, resting against it. The quiet tinkling of silver on horn followed as she twisted her neck in a stretch. Irritated or actually stiff, it was quite hard to tell.
"Say something. Any ass I can kick? Any thing I can bring you?"
The voice of the doe echoed down to her little, damp chamber below the bridge.
Persistant one.
On top of that she could her the muffled sound of someone sitting down. Seems she wouldn't leave that soon.
And obvoiusly tremor's persistant silence doesn't seem to trick her at all.
She bit her tongue, almsot crying out loud to announce 'I am not here go away!'---- but he had to admit that this would have been amazingly ridiculous and childish.
"No. Thanks." she finally stated with a lame voice. Starting to ponder weather she should walk upstairs now or not... since... she was defenetely discovered now and still hiding here would be... another rediciolous act...
A toneless laugh left her, fading only after it bounced around the stones a bit. She could plainly see this was going well.
"Alright. What'll you have me do, then?" It was really a pretty vague question, and it took Abseilen a moment before she added, "--I'll leave if that's what you want. Not crazy about the idea, but it's your call."
...
Another moment, after which she added again, quiet awkwardly, "But, mm. Not if you're bleeding to death. You loose your right to tell me to leave if you're gushing out."
The bouncing and steps sounded like a herd crossing the brisge down here.
She now fonaly had to admit that this was the worst possible place to hide. Well.. she would remember that next time.
With a sigh she got up... again pondering... she could sent that doe away now...
... on the other hand... she had to admit she actually felt a bit lonely right now.
Slowly she stepped on, pushing her head throug the openeing hidden behind some reed, twisting her head to look up to the crown of the brige. "no I am not bleeding to death." she could avoid her voice sounding slightly annoyed.
Tremor turned her head again, looking down at the cut on her throat... the blood was dried up... the small wound would heal within the next week...
"I suppose 'demon' is not the
And then, he shoved that skull into the ground slightly pushing himself up to his legs grunting and then shaking as he stood, stretching slightly as he shook his head "If I did leave anything laying behind it's up by the oak... I just did what came natural... whether I ate the bone or not I don't know..." Though if he had he'd likely have a very annoyed stomach right now.
*ninja's new page* WOOT!
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Hm monster. This sounded
She had observed him carefully the whole time... just in case, of course...
... so she was quick on her legs as he sterted to stand up again... also... just in case of course...
Tremor threw up her head, to get rid of a few streaks in her eyes, then she chuckled again.
"Hmhm... at the oak you say...? That enormous tree?"
She turned her head into the direction the tree would be, her tail whiping through the ari behind her.
"You... don't need that thing anymore... if it is still there... do you...?" the white doe turned her head half back, looking at him.
(congratz xD)
He shook his head and
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She perked her ears, smiled
"Oh, that was not exactly what I wanted to use it for... allthough it wouldn't be impossible."
She turned half around now, facing towards the direction in which the old oak would lie.... still having an eye on the beast next to her, though.
She rolled her eyes at the mentioning of protection.
"In need of protection, ahum..." she stated with a strange voice
"What wouldn't be
A thick snort and a low growl came from him "I take it you don't like that?"
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
The growl let her smile
She was not really intimidated by this... rather... amused...
Oh she loved this sweet little speeches about loyality and protection and all that gibberish.
.... she actually didn't really listen to him.
The doe chuckled. "No. It just bores me." she replied to his last remar, demonstratively shifting her gaze away to look towards the oak again.
"And it wouldn't be impossible to stick that remained bone to your stumb again.... or... at another part of your body..."
A thick chuckle came up, it
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She started to walk as well,
It was almost a bit hard for her to not impatiently burst out into a fast trott again.... her usual walking speed.
"If you have a leg at hand... actually not..."
Seems that one was utterly interested in her handy knowledge...
... of course. If she had been in his place...
... could be a interesting chance for her.
Another musing sound came
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"Yes, any leg." she replied,
"Well... not exactly like the old one... but as good and strong as the old one..." she gave him another look, observing him "... but... since you ...seem to be able to grow even legs back... i bet you wont notice the difference....
Shifting for a moment, the
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She let out a loud laughter
"Besides... what would be the use for me in that whole thing hm?"
Nightmare snorted deeply and
"Better hurry to the oak, by now someone else could have picked at whatever remains were there..."
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She snorted. "Nice try, big
She turned back her head, talking to him once more "Of course I could have helped you with your little problem... but... what reason do I have to do that for nothing? I don't even know you... it would just a unneeded risk for me."
He chuckled out for a moment
Shaking his head he snorted and shrugged his shoulders, slumping himself back down to the ground and laying there relaxing.
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She stopped again. Thinking
Then she turned around, a bright smile on her face.
"Now this is something we can work with." she replied, her voice strangely silent.
"If you can actually give me, what you just told... then I would be ready to replace your missing leg... though..." she tilted her head slightly.
"I searched the graces for a few times now... didn't find more than a few smaller bones...." she propably didn't dig deep enough, though "How can I be sure you tell the truth...?"
Of course she was war about this. She had her experiences with... 'agreements' like that... not all of them good.
Nightmare shifted and watched
Shifting again Nightmare shook his head for a moment stretching his jaws slightly "I am a beast of my word, I've nothing to gain from lies..."
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"Of course you are
She remained silent for a moment then she nodded. "Okay... how about this. We seperate for now. I go and check out your little darlings grave... and you go and hunt for some leg. When you got that certain limb... then you seek me out again."
(hrrr have to go offline soon... so this.... kinda end for now.... i hope you don't mind? |D)
(No Worries :3 Haha yeah it's
There was a chuckle to come from Nightmare before he lowered his head in a bit of a half bow to the doe "I am sure you will find everything intact... no one but you and myself know of his grave. And no one likely disturbed it, at least I would hope not." He nodded his head to what she said "Of course... I will see you in due time..."
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"We'll see..." she smiled
"We will meet again, my beasty friend... tace care of the rest of your legs, till then..." with that she turned around, falling into a fast trott towards the ruins.
(haha thank you as well... and... eww bad weather... >_o cya two around then)
(Yeah we had a pretty bad
If the doe had been looking for him, she would find him... in the place he had mentioned she would find the remains of his son. A leg laid out beside him as the giant blue was digging at the ground and tugging up dirt, seeming to be looking for something which he found very easily after a few minutes.
With the area dug out, and with the leg of some poor deer that he had the fortune of running into late in the evening Nightmare had curled himself up and was resting next to the hole, long tail wrapped around himself as he relaxed in the warmth of the sunlight.
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She had found the remains
Very good. An almost full intact skeletton... something very precious for her.
For now she brought it to a safe place... save from decaying ... save from hungry jaws... in case some of the creaures here would be interested in something like that.
In hr usual fast trott she approached the place where she yould sense the big creature...
A few meters away from him she slowed down... as she could see the creature indeed was able to get himself a 'new' leg.
Her mouth curled up in a smile.
Silently she approached, not entirely sure if the beast was sleeping or not... wary ... justin case...
He was laying out in the sun,
Upon hearing footsteps he carefully lifted that head and glanced over... seeing the doe approaching him as he shifted slightly yawning for only a second "I take it you found that I was true to my word then... was he to your liking?" He questioned watching her carefully.
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"

@graveyard: sooo finally.
Her ears perked up as the large creature started to move. Hm not a asleep then.
She nodded slightly to greet him, before she answered.
"Usefull." she replied with a hidden smile behind her mask.
Yes, that where those bones for her. And the skull... a very pretty one. She may would leave that intact... as a kind of... trophy.
The other bones would soon serve her own body very well.
She nodded again and chuckled.
"Well... my large friend... I see yu found what we need." she cocked her head, eyeing the ripped off leg next to the beast.
Suddenly she had to chuckle... as she thought about some poor one running around with three legs as well now... maybe she should search for them, offering them the same 'surgery' she was about to give this large beast.
Could become a very lucrative business in the end...
...though more likely that certain one wouldn't need a new leg anomre anyways...
Tremor snorted. "So.. are you ready...?" she was.
No worries hun |D Take all
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She chuckled. "Good..."
"Good..." Without any further word she turned around again, looking around.
She needed a flat, clean surface now. Well... as clean as possible...
The doe actually needed to walk a few meters... the ground here was almost perfect for her. She nodded, more to herself... then with a whipeing movement... she stretched out her tail.
... strangely it seemed to be longer than before... as if the fast movement had let it grow somehow.
She sunk the tip of it to the ground, scratching a line into the dirt... longer and longer it became, until it finally was a full circle around her.
The doe turned around herself, looking satisfied.
"hmhm yes I believe this is big enough. Would you come over and sit down insite this circle, my large friend?" she looked back over her shoulder, giving the beast a wink. "And don't forget the leg..."
He watched carefully before
He seemed a bit uneasy but it was likely to be expected "Interesting..."
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She watched him stepping
Her tail curled around the leg, lifted it carefully... and placed it in front of the creature's stumb.
Tremor stepped out of the curcle again, taking a look at the whole scene... then she nodded, again looking satisfied.
"Good. Now just two things... don't move... and don't speak.... don't disturb my concentration in any way... " her voice had a sharp sound... then she smiled again "It could hurt a bit..."
then she turned around again, slowly walking along the circle, her tail dragging behind her drawing a second one.
As she finished the second circle, she bowed down towards the ground, starting to mumble in a strange language, walking around him a second time... while filling the two circles with ancient runes and symbols...
"...srewop ruoy rof sdnamed tnavres tuoved dna retsis ruoy gnik tsekrad eht fo stnavres dlrowrednu eht fo sthgim won uoy llac I..."
Those black voids watched her
At her words not to move, Nightmare stopped... not sound... nothing, his body had been trained to lock up and freeze when required. Curious, he kept locked in place... wondering how long the process would take really. Of course, he did have all the time in the world... so long or short it didn't matter.
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"

On and on she walked until
... finally she stopped in front of the creature in the circle, turning around herself again, her tail dragging another smaller circle in the sand again in a fluent, elegant movement and filled it with one last curved symbol... it almost looked like some part of a dance...
All of the sudden her chanting stopped... her tail cut the air again, whipeing down to her own throar, ripping off fur and skin... exposeing bright red blood...
She froze in place... letting the blood run down... and finally dripping into the smaller circle.
As soon as the blood touched the ground, the white doe broke down with a sight... her fur wet from sweat, her breath heavy... obviously exhaused from some great exertion.
Almost in the same moment small, red roots growing out of the ground next to the cut off leg and the beast in the circle... reaching for both of them... letting the bulse and wriggle, as if the dead muscles where tensed from some sudden burst of electricity...
A white, sharp thorn grew out of the leg... the bone, seeking its way to his new body...
... with violently it forced its way into the stumb of the beast... while fles, fur and muscles started to grow...
A strange smell of sluphur filled the air...
Still, frozen... doing as she
With interest he watched that tail, keeping his mind at ease as she did what she did. Nothing was normal in this forest so watching her do such things did not bother him, even when she drew to her throat and made a slice through for blood. When things started to happen, there was tension in the giant blue stags body as those things came from the ground and slowly worked on drawing the two parts together... he watched, waited...
Holding in any urge to roar out when that thick white bone of the body jabbed itself into his body a twitch, his body wreathing slightly from the sharp pain. He picked up the scent, nothing bothering him other than the twang of pain coming from the stub and where flesh was melding with flesh... turning and growing. Any other creature might have screamed out in agony, but Nightmare... he was used to such things...
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
The doe threw up her head,
A few last movements of the leg... then it was finally attatched to the creatures body...looking like it was literally melted to it... the differnt colors fadeing into each other softly...
Tremor still lay where she had broken down... still panting... her eyes closed now.
"There... we.... go..." she mumbled while the bleeding on her throat slowly stopped...
He watched her, intently...
Carefully he stood up and moved over to her, testing out the limb... putting weight on it and making sure it was secure. Circling he slowly brought himself to lay down beside the exhausted doe "You are quite... talented..." He let out not looking down at her as he spoke "But I can see how much of a troubled task this must be. You are drained... exhausted beyond reason..."
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
She opened her eyes again...
He watched the creature standing up... testing out the leg.
A feeling of satisfaction mixed up with the exhaution. The final proof that she had succeeded.
The doe took in a deeb breath, forced her head up again as the large beast sat down next to her. He proud wouldn't allow her to show any more exhaution than needed now...
...actually she would prefare to be alone now, so no one would see her in this weakened state.... but she didn't mention anything.... still not fully trusting the creature next to her... and didn't want to offend it with any rude requests.
"That was.... the reason... why I asked you for... a payment.... in return..." a weaksmile in her tired face. "Would... you ... maybe... now tell me your name.... my large... friend...?"
"Nightmare... and the remains
He chuckled, yes... he would leave her be if she desired to be left alone. But only if she asked really, or showed signs that she wanted it so. His attention turned to the leg again, as he tapped the hoof slightly, that was something he certainly had to get used to.
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"Nightmare... hmhm... I like
She chuckled again. Oh yes they where... they where... would serve her as weapons and as armor in the future...
"Hmh... don't worry... they will be of great... use..." she stopped for a moment... hear breath slowly calming down... but still the exhaution would last a few days...
She glanced over to him again.
"I hope your leg is to your pleasure as well... ? Can... can you move it propperly.... feel... it...?"
He shifted and moved the
"At least now I won't have so much trouble, that... and I'll be better off when I need to fight..." A soft growl came from him before he shook his head "Tremor? It sounds very fitting..."
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"At least it's a leg...
Her head felt strangely light... her sight got limitted all of the sudden by danceing little black and white stars.
She felt like she would lose consciousness soon... but still... she was to proud to show anything.
"I can... only return that... your... name... seem..... to.."
She rolled her eyes... her head sunk down to the ground with a sigh. Finally her body demanded its right...
(pff... hope you don't mind this stop again... |D ... we can start another rp anytime again, of course... <3 )
(I don't mind in the least ^^
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Hooves on wet stone, they
She trod over the bridge, only to backtrack immediately. No, she had decided, what was needed was on the east side of the bridge. Hooves left the rock with a frantic clatter; this was frustrating business.
"Sunshine." Her voice was like her movements, clear and cutting and brimming with anticipation. "I know you're there."
Her ears flickered as she
The best to hide her shameful weakness and exhaution from anyone she knew. It was just one day after the little ritual she performed to give this Nightmare-creature a new leg... and she felt still miserable.
That was the price for things like that..
However, obviously she was wrong, concerning her hideout....
On the other hand.... Abseilen was a master in finding her, anyways.
She let out a growling noise. Decided not to answer and pretend she wasn't here.
Maybe the doe outsite would fall for it.
Though... she doubted this....
Apparently, she was right to
"You know, this place stinks of blood and brimstone." Drawled from above. Her voice told plainly that she was growing bored of this game.
She lowered, and collapsed heavily on the ground aside the stone bridge, resting against it. The quiet tinkling of silver on horn followed as she twisted her neck in a stretch. Irritated or actually stiff, it was quite hard to tell.
"Say something. Any ass I can kick? Any thing I can bring you?"

The voice of the doe echoed
Persistant one.
On top of that she could her the muffled sound of someone sitting down. Seems she wouldn't leave that soon.
And obvoiusly tremor's persistant silence doesn't seem to trick her at all.
She bit her tongue, almsot crying out loud to announce 'I am not here go away!'---- but he had to admit that this would have been amazingly ridiculous and childish.
"No. Thanks." she finally stated with a lame voice. Starting to ponder weather she should walk upstairs now or not... since... she was defenetely discovered now and still hiding here would be... another rediciolous act...
A toneless laugh left her,
"Alright. What'll you have me do, then?" It was really a pretty vague question, and it took Abseilen a moment before she added, "--I'll leave if that's what you want. Not crazy about the idea, but it's your call."
...
Another moment, after which she added again, quiet awkwardly, "But, mm. Not if you're bleeding to death. You loose your right to tell me to leave if you're gushing out."

The bouncing and steps
She now fonaly had to admit that this was the worst possible place to hide. Well.. she would remember that next time.
With a sigh she got up... again pondering... she could sent that doe away now...
... on the other hand... she had to admit she actually felt a bit lonely right now.
Slowly she stepped on, pushing her head throug the openeing hidden behind some reed, twisting her head to look up to the crown of the brige.
"no I am not bleeding to death." she could avoid her voice sounding slightly annoyed.
Tremor turned her head again, looking down at the cut on her throat... the blood was dried up... the small wound would heal within the next week...
