[Inimicus]

((OOC: Feel free anyone to enter, just note THIS IS A THREAD FOR HUNTING A KUMO, BE PREPARED TO FIGHT IF YOU JOIN!



Checking on his weapons one more time to make sure he was all prepared Inimicus did a mental inventory in the silence of the forest. Two Steel Swords...check, two steel daggers...check...one silver dragon dagger check...one silver shield...check. Full Bronze Armor...check. The vampire smiled as he checked on his arsenal, satisfied it was all there he reached to his left side and drew his longsword, the rubies on the hilt catching the last dull glints of light that penetrated the gloomy of the Chandric Forest. Swishing his cape back of his waist he hefted the silver shield, a gift from Xanth, in his left hand and cracked his neck...he was ready for action.

Standing on the borders of the Chandric forest he had to smile at the events that brought him to this...not even a year earlier he never would have had the confidence to fight monsters...or even think they existed, now he was wandering in after one which would scare the living daylights out of most people...luckily Inimicus did not like daylights. Smiling he shook his head his shoulder length black and silver hair swishing as the head shook, thinking too much could and would get him killed. He was a vampire, he needed to focus, he was a hunter he needed to hunt. His senses were hightened, hearing, sight, and definatly smell...his ability to feel around him far more than a humans, he needed to focus on tracking his prey.

Inimicus was hunting a Kumo...a Giant Spider he had heard rumors existed here. Giant Spiders would give most people goosebumps, but Inimicus had already felt his life escape from his hands once he wouldnt really fear it so much anymore. Kaida had shown him that fear only prevented you from being who you were, fearing you you were would get you killed. Inimicus smiled, he had made sure to drink before coming...he was sated for at least a day and his strength at its height. He figured without knowing that the spider would be able to shoot webbing at him like its smaller counterparts and would have poision that paralyzed...which was why he hefted his shield and his sword the rising phoenix as opposed to both the rising and falling phoenixs. Inimicus honestly prefered fighting with two weapons as opposed to a shield...but this shield was Magical and besides that it made the most sense in this situation when he was fighting an enemy who had so many ranged advantages. Inimicus began walking forward concentration on the area around him, smelling in the trees...feeling for a heartbeat however small...listening for the soft crunch of any sort of material. As a vampire hunter he was far faster and stronger than most people...he would need all of that today. If he made one wrong move this spider would and could easily kill him and his, and his families life would be over.

Quickly he got into the part of the forest where almost no sun shone, this would need all his hunter senses to even be able to move appropriatly. His night vision was very good...but doubtlessly the Kumo's would be better he needed to take that into account. He was ready for wherever this thing came from

Luna was on a poofing spree. Nearly the instant her tiny claws touched the ground, she poofed yet again to another area. Not quite sure where she was going, or why, all the tiny imp dragon was thinking was "find Faroah". Of course, for her, it was easier to think of random places and just pop around, than to actually think of places the red imp dragon might be. Such as his nest. Her reason for finding him wasn't important, but her drive to find him was. As it was however, little Luna quickly got distracted, just like her blush colored counterpart. Because of that, if anything of interest crossed her path, she'd stop and explore, her mind suddenly switching tracks to accommodate.

Having been booted from the shoulder of her beloved Arkadios too many times by the wretched winged life mate, Luna had to find time elsewhere. Of course, she'd tried to hunker down with Wolf, her charge to protect, but he'd shooed her away the instant he smelt her little puff of smoke invade his space. Both men in her life were too busy to pay attention to her, as was Siphae. She'd tried to visit Lia at one point, but the large beast almost ate her. No matter what Arkadios told Luna, she'd never freely spend alone time with the monster. Some dragons... just weren't meant to befriend.

Having lost interest with her last location, somewhere within the smoldering desert, Luna poofed from the heat, appearing smack center of the Chandric, her little black beady eyes staring directly into the face of a stranger. Squeaking, flapping her wings as the man startled her, Luna fluttered back, trying to stay in the air as her unbalanced dept perception went wonky.

Darkness...nothing but darkness. Inimicus could see in the gloom of the forest, not well, but well enough. However he was mainly focusing on his other senses listening for his target, he knew the thing would find him eventaully...he doubted big food came around too often in this forbidden forest. He turned in a small circle as he walked very slowly forward his Rising Phoenix sword in the air shield up protecting his heart, where was this thing...it was far too quiet here.

Inimicus's reflexes took keen effect when most of his senses went haywhire, he smelled smoke, saw a flash and puff of smoke, heard the small popping and than was looking into two very familiar looking eyes. Quickly sheathing his sword and placing the shield on its hook on his back he took a step back to take the sight in more. It looked a lot like Faroah...but wasn't. The Dragon before him was jet black in color as opposed to Faroah's red...this confused Inimicus he thought Faroah was just a mutated dragon...a delightful freak of nature. This was certainly not how most dragons he had seen were portrayed...but a pleasent change nonetheless.

Smiling Inimicus locked eyes with the dragon and bowed slightly swishing his cape to the side

" Greetings great dragon. Is there anything I can help you with today? "

Inimicus loved these dragons, they were so cute and at the same time he knew they were strong. Still Inimicus couldnt help but have a strong desire to hold and pet these dragons...they were just so precious and that glow in his green eyes and smile on his lips probably made that abundantly clear.

Luna didn't think the creature before her was dangerous. Well, in truth, she just didn't think. He could have lopped her in half then and there had he startled easily, or even if he hadn't, he still could have injured her. Even as she stood there, wobbling around as her wings thumped in the air, the man could easily snatch her out of her flight path and hold her in a jar somewhere. But she didn't think of things like that. Why should she when she could spit acid, and port from danger? There was no point in being afraid. Stupidly, the imp dragon seldom felt fear. Because of that, the rate at which she could get injured sky rocketed.

Hovering in the air before Inimicus, Luna watched the man with interest as he bowed toward her, then spoke. Tilting her head slightly, listening to his words, she wondered if she wanted to be helped. Or did she not need help. Eying his armor, her eyes lit up slightly as she saw something dancing within it. Thrusting her wings to propelled forward, Luna squealed as she saw another dragon. As it grew bigger, her eyes widened slightly, her small claws reaching out to grasp at the strangers. The moment she was about to his Inimicus' armor however, the small black Imp dragon hiccuped suddenly, a fine spray of acid squirting forward and onto the Vampires armor.

Flapping backwards, her eyes darting from the dragons now deformed reflection to the vampires eyes, Luna chattered in dragonic, inquiring about where the other beast had gotten off to. Getting tired of flying, not used to the continues flapping, Luna ported from her hover onto Inimicus' arm, clinging to his armor as she scampered up to his neck wanting to hide under his hair, and poke her head out to look at his face.

This dragon was, if possible, even cuter than Faroah. Inimicus had to resist the urge to giggle and remind himself he WAS hunting right now even with this dragon here, but the thing was so cute and despite being a dragon...cuddly. He watched in amusement as the dragon tilted her head to the side as a dog would when he spoke, he always had to remind himself they could understand him but he couldnt understand them, well Faroah partially but not really. He laughed lightly as the dragon noticed the carvings in his armor and went forward to play with the other dragon, however he lost a tiny bit of amusement when the thing hiccuped and sprayed...ACID?!

Inimicus watched in little amusement as his armor started to melt a little, not far really, just enough to be annoying. It did put a tiny hole in the armor the size of the dragons beady eye though and that wasnt exactly a good thing. Inimicus wondered what was it about these dragons and sneezing/hiccuping dangerously. Still his good humor came back very quickly when the dragon teleported onto his arm and scampered up his bronze armor her claws almost tracing the carvings in them. She went behind his head hanging behind his hair and peaked her tiny black draconic head out to look at him. He wished he could have understood her chittering a second ago but he didnt speak dragon...if this was going to be a common thing he might have to ask Xanth about that.

He looked over at the dragon's head very close to his and smiled his fangs catching the very dull glint in the forest. He had made sure to drink before hunting so they werent bothering him luckily.

" Why Hello there, are you tired? You can go right ahead and rest there if you want, were you looking for something? "

Inimicus smiled and reached his hand forward to stroke the dragon's tiny head, but remembered they were very intelligent beasts that often didnt like being treated like a pet. His hand hovered in mid air as he rememred this fact, he didnt want to insult the dragon.

Spitting acid was something Luna did so often she rarely acknowledged it anymore. As soon as the foul liquid left her small mouth, all was forgotten, but most probably not forgiven. In all her years, what little they may truly be, Luna couldn't remember once squirting acid on purpose. But then again, her memory wasn't all that amazing. She remembered what she wanted, and when she wanted to. But other than that, anything in the past was long forgotten, shoved away far back in her mind.

Hearing the mans words, Luna's eyes flicked to his, eying him carefully. Tired? She? Hardly. Luna was far from being tired. She was just plain bored. And had been looking for something. What was it? Hunkering down on the vampires shoulder, her long tail winding around his neck to hold her in place, the small imp gazed out at nothingness, trying to search her mind for what it had been she'd been looking for. She couldn't remember what it was, just that it was important.

As the mans hand came toward her head however, her eyes shifted to his fingers, eyes widening in excitment. Tensing slightly, ready to receive the gift that was most assuredly coming her way, Luna chattered in protest as he pulled away his digits. Poofing from his neck, not wanting to cover the short distance by crawling, Luna wrapped herself around his wrist, her tiny claws peeling back his fingers to gaze at the empty palm of his hand. Gasping in disappointment at the sight of nothing, she looked up at him, chattering her scolding in Dragonic that he should not tempt her with gifts that didn't exist. Turning from his eyes, she spread out his fingers like a makeshift claw, and curled herself around in a ball within it. Before she could settle, her small heat poked up, her gaze looking around them. She'd heard something... tho it was probably nothing. Taking that thought to heart, she lowered her head again, only to spring it back up, this time followed by her body. Clutching his fingers, Luna gazed into the darkness, her eyes searching for the noises that had reached her auds. Squealing suddenly, she turned and scrambled up the mans arm, diving into his hair, poking out her head as she looked forward. If the noise continued, she'd port away from the scary place, and take the man with her.

Somehow Inimicus seemed to have partially upseted the dragon...he just had to mess something up. He didnt know what he had done wrong, maybe it thought he was offering something to it, or maybe his hand got to close to its back he didnt know. However this dragon responded in a way not at all normal of what he had expected from dragons, dissapearing in a puff of smoke she appeared on his arm tail wrapped around it, it tickled something fierce to have her tiny claws on his arm just above the glove's end. She looked in his hand and seemed to shout at him in the same chittering Faroah used, she must have thought he was offering her something...dangit.

He smiled in suprise as the dragon however moved his fingers, he let the thing it was so cute. The dragon's tiny claws moved his fingers turning the bronze covered hand into a small nest for the dragon as she laid there her head propped over his fingers. This dragon had just officaly become cuter than Faroah...she seemed to be more use to being a pet than the other dragon, he wondered if she perhaps was someone's pet. Moving his other hand slowly over he carefully stroked the dragons small back with his index finger his finger tracing the course of the spine. He loved these dragons.

However after only a couple strokes he heard the same noises the dragon seemed to. As it scampered up to his hair hiding behind the short, but thick, mane of black and silver poking its head out to look. Inimicus's smile faded and he reached his hand down to either side. With twin ringing sounds of metal scrapping against metal he drew his Rising and Falling Phoenix swords and held them out in a defensive position...something unfriendly was near. Was it the monster he seeked? Even with his vampiric senses he couldnt make out a distinctive smell...though the dragon may have been interefering however pleasently. He could hear something faintly...whatever this was was a good stalker and he had to assume it was the spider.

" I hear it too...I'm here hunting something..."

Inimicus slowly started turning in a small circle his warrior's body tensed to pounce at a moments notice

" I dont want to put you in any danger...maybe you should go somewhere else. "

He really didnt want the dragon to go, he liked the cute thing, but still he didnt want it to get hurt and it was a bite sized morsal for a giant spider. Listening carefully one could probably tell he didnt want the dragon to go, but he wasnt paying full attention to it anymore focusing his senses on the forest surrounding, so his voice had a note of chill seriousness to it.

A quarter of a mile away from where Inimicus Malus stood, a small wolf whimpered pitifully for freedom. It was stuck, horribly stuck something nearly invisible in the middle of the woods. The thing was only visible as it shook, supposedly from the small beast's strugglings against the thing. It was a web, and a rather large one at that.

Yelping out, the wolf cried for it's mother--both telling of it's young age and it's hidden location in the thickness of darkness. The pup continued to cry as it sensed the owner of the web approaching his form slowly. Methodically. Large, black and a bit above the average 3 foot size of it's species, the Kumo was encroaching on the poor creature's form, preparing to wrap it up in a tomb of silk. Slowly it crawled along the web until it reached the canine and began the process of wrapping it up for a later meal.

Slowly the Kumo wrapped finished wrapping it's prey into a tight bundle before turning it's attention towards the other creatures that had entered it's domain. The Kumo's webs spread into the trees a bit past where Inimicus and his dragoness friend stood. Suddenly, without making a sound, the monstrous spider withdrew upwards along it's large web - leaving the wrapped and paralyzed pup where it was for a later meal.

Moving lucidly along the silk of it's web, the Spider followed the disturbances caused by a single misstep of a fleeing rodent. Quickly it arrived at it's destination, spying the offending rodent at the base of it's web. Stringing a new cord of silk from its rear, the Kumo descended to the ground quickly and lucidly with the cover of shadows to protect its hulking frame.

Touching it's legs to the ground, The beastly spider noticed the intruders standing not far away from it and, unlike most spiders, rushed forwards rearing up it's front legs as it got closer in an attempt to attack the man.
