Inimicus had walked out of his house that day missing the normal spark in his eyes, it had been slowly dimming out of existence since Halloween when he realized how much of a monster he was. Soon he would need to leave the general area, leave being around people who he could attack, he had bought land and as soon as it was finished being built on he was leaving hoping no one would find him unless he wanted them to. The only people he would have to worry about there would be Anyeli perfectly capable of beating him sensless. He was not in his normal outfit, his black tunic had been replaced by a sleeveless white shirt over which he wore a suit of black leather armor. He was still wearing his black pants but on them he was wearing the same design of leather armor as on his chest, the same went for his arms and hands which were both covered in black leather. His hair was drawn back in a tight ponytail which was drapped over the back of his red cloak, nowhere near as fine as his black one it was simple dark red cotton tied around his neck. He left his clasp on the beureau in his bedroom not wanting to disgrace his family even more with what he was about to do. Underneath the cloak and armor a large round silver shield was strapped to his back and chest and around his waist two scabbards were hung each containing a short iron sword. A small white fox inched out of the house after him, she could sense he was not in a good mood, in fact she could sense he was very troubled, so she was following cautiously behind him. Without speaking he started walking towards the Market Square and the hub of the portal nexus. He didn't understand how these things worked, he only got it worked on thoughts, what he was going to try today he had no idea if it was going to work. He walked into the portal scooping up Himme in his hands and closed his eyes, thinking to himself of a face...and a taste from that terrible night.
Take me to her whose blood flows in my veins, my first and Xanth will it my last meal
and suddenly he was gone, miles away in a dense rainforest the man appeared through another portal with a rather scared looking white fox in his arms. Slowly he sets her down and she trots a little ways forward as he walks clear of the portal. He walked deep into the forest, until coming upon a clearing. He raises his voice and shouted with all his strength
" COME OUT WOMAN! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME I DRANK YOUR BLOOD THOSE NIGHTS AGO AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE SO COME HERE! NOW! "
Normally Inimicus was kind to women, to the point of servility, however now his eyes were hardened and lacked their normal spark. He didn't care anymore he needed to put his mind and honor to rest or forever be unable to be at peace with himself. That night ago this woman robbed him of his humanity, and sadly he did it almost willingly, he would never be able to forgive himself, and he would never be able to look at anyone the same way not even Ammanity whom he loved. Only by facing this woman could he put it to rest, even if she likely would completley destroy him in a fight he needed to try and pray to Xanth he lived, or died, with honor.
