As Exoba blinked he saw that he remained in the temple and saw that Azathoth was no where to be found. "Hmm...A strange predicament has just occurred...Oh a note?" Exoba crouched down to pick up the note and read it's contents. 'Young Prince, we shall have to cut our chat short. It seems someone either very brave...or very foolish had attempted to drain the power of one of these towers. I must admit these towers are decently potent,....If I had to I'd say it holds just as much power as a Mid-Level ArchFiend from The Demon Planes. But beyond that I must attend to some business it seems that tower has awoken some..old things.
But fear not! I'm quite certain that you'll thrive even more so against the strong beings that shall roam these lands. We shall not meet again until you're ready....Before you ask you shall know when you're ready. Until then prince Farewell!-Azathoth P.S. I suggest you like playing ignorant.' Exoba blinked as Nocturne materialized behind him and leaned over to read what the note said herself. "Hmm..Well then from what I can tell...Let's go Nocturne!" As he walked away from her a portal of Darkness ripped open before him. Nocturne was confused about what her master was talking about.
"Go where master?" Exoba smirked as his plan unfolded in his mind. "To the Shadow King's court of course...After all I'm doubtful he's suspecting treachery from one of his'Loyal' Enforcers." Exoba chuckled as he stepped through, Nocturne merely returned to her Master's Shadow and the portal closed behind him.

As Exoba exitted the portal of darkness he saw that he appeared outside of a town at night. But something was wrong. 'Master? Is there something wrong?' Exoba saw that there were corpses...dried corpses. 'As if someone sucked them dry.' He thought dryly, he continued his walk as the portal sealed behind him heading towards the largest building in town to investigate further. As he walked he saw there was nothing but dead bodies, not even the animals were safe from this mysterious infliction.
As he saw more and more blood splatter's on the ground he mentally prepared himself for a fight in case this mysterious assailant came for desserts. Once he reached what he assumed to be the Town Hall he slipped into the shadows of the building and slipping through the darkness and began to spread his consciousness throughout the building looking for the mystery killer. Seeing as there was nothing but dead bodies he assumed everyone was dead in this town and merely move on...That is until he saw one woman.
He narrowed his Metaphysical eyes at the women slowly gathering darkness to take physical form to address the woman.

As she was getting ready to drink the last source of beverage, tearing the bloodless flesh from a severed leg, she felt a creeping presence enter the Townhall. Raising from her crouched position she surveyed the large dark room with her glimmering silver eyes, following the presence through the shadows. She turned to where it was concentrating:
"Who dares intrude upon my feast ? Show yourself"

As the female barked orders to appear he merely allowed his chuckles to revertebrate throughout the town hall. "As you wish." And so he gathered the darkness within the room to fully solidify his form. As he saw that her face was covered in blood he gave her a distasteful look. "Quite a messy eater aren't we?" He could already tell that this one will be an annoyance.

She pulled silky handkerchief and quickly wiped herself clean, the ivory fabric turning largely tainted in scarlet
"Mind how you speak, it is unwise to show rudeness to Echidnean Nobility"
She proceeded to suck the blood stain out of her handkerchief, turning it clean white again

"Blraaaggh". Vokun held himself steady on a tree. This was the third time he threw up so far. "uuuugggghh, i feel like a sick horse". He said. The dragon within him stirred. "It is the Primal magic, i took in a great amount of it when you were struck". The dragon said. "Im afraid its going to make you feel ill for a time". Vokun wiped his mouth & put his mask back on. He moved through the wooded area. "I still need to finish my studies". He said weakly. "I recall we passed a small village last time we were here". Vokun-dovah said. "Perhaps we can rest there until you adjust". Vokun nodded in agreement. "Which way"? He asks. "North".

Something in Exoba's mind clicked as he heard the word 'Echidnean' "Ah so you're an Echidnean, children of Echidna Mother of all Monsters." He juggled a skull in his hands while keeping one eye on her. "Heard your kind went Nigh-Extinct"

Vokun had gotten well enough to walk unsupported but was still ill. As he moved north the wind blew on him. The wind brought a cooling fresh breeze that was welcomed & a infinitesimal scent that was repulsive. *sniff sniff* "Uuggghh". "Your senses are becoming more intone with mine, you can smell that as well"? "Yes, it smells foul". Vokun soldiered on. "Your familiar with this particular scent". The dragon said. "More than i should be, we're close". Vokun replied. "Let us hope the creators of this scent are not there to welcome us".

"Out of my sight wain, you are unworthy of one such as I to dignify your insolence"
She followed her words by leaving the Townhall, heading towards the village's center to look for an itinerary

As she left his eye was twitching. 'A child?! Does this ignorant blood sucker not know what I am?!' His temper began to rise and the shadows of the Building reacted to his temper. The shadows grew in length and they darkened until they were pitch black.
'Such arrogance from a lowly species that is nigh-extinct! She shall regret her insolence!' With a stomp of his boot the shadows became spikes that violently grew in size and began to destroy the building as the tendrils of darkness became thick as tree trunks and swung around violently.
He was unharmed as he walked towards the Noble with a slow gait. "You arrogant bitch!" The Tendrils of darkness began to writhe and extend themselves smashing other houses and knocking several swathes of trees with each swing of the tendrils.
"Do you think you can insult me?! Me!" He Gathered two swords of darkness into his hands and steadied himself into his stance. "Face Me!"

She replied offhandedly while she kept looking around
"Your inflated self-importance is tiring, begone creature, back to the dull barren plains where you belong"

Neroth released an inhuman hiss as his "eyes" opened, the sudden assault of powerful magic finally over. He looked down at himself and sighed; it had stripped him of his disguise. Fortunately, another glance showed that no one else was around...but wait...hadn't there...
Oh, right, he remembered, The elf and her pet...the dragon-man...all those soldiers...where did they go?
Now rather startled, the Lich glanced around his surroundings and would have frowned if he could. The area was...familiar for some reason, but why? And how had he gotten so separated?
Too many questions for now. I must locate someone...human or otherwise...someone should know where I am...
With a clear goal in mind, Neroth wandered off from the hauntingly familiar place, his old and dusty skull trying to put a finger on what could have happened.

"BARREN?!" The tendrils began to move more erratically until they began to slam into each other and merge together in the process and the tendrils became twice as large until four colossal tendrils remained attentively waiting for the command to unleash devastation. Exoba calming his mind before he went beyond his patience. "You.....Do not know what you speak of mongrel. You speak as if your kind is high and mighty..." He smirked as he spat his rebuke. "Yet you're race is in shambles and scrounging in the dirt like the worms they are."
The Tendrils waved lazily in the air as they could be seen from some distance. He continued his chain of insults. "And you Echidnean noble are nothing to me...After all what is a Noble to a Prince?" He dismissed the darkness gathered in his hands and crossed his arms before shaking his head in what one would guess to be pity.
"The irony of this situation would be most humorous if it weren't so sad. Oh how the mighty have fallen." He chuckled as his anger soon began to turn to mirth.

She stopped her rounds but did not yet turn towards him
"Then let your better educate you. Know that a single member of my kind is higher and mightier than any nation in the world. Know that a bloodsucker that scrounges in the dirt is not of my kind. Know that a 'prince' is merely the spawn of a kingdom's ruler, my kind has no needs for constructs such as kingdoms, all belongs to us because we wish it so. And know that we only call ourselves 'noble' because of this limited mortal language, the Echidnean word bears a meaning closer to 'high blood'. Now leave, I will find you again when I have servants and command them to kill you"
In a flash she disappeared and the next instant softly set foot on a roof where she resume looking around

He merely raised an unseen eyebrow at her disappearance. "Hmm coward. Couldn't face me by herself needs her servants to hold her hand while she fights." This merely stroked his Ego. With a firm nod of his head he dismissed the Tendrils of Darkness and placed a gloved hand against his chin. 'Hmm though that does bring something much needed in mind. I need servants to deal with my enemies that are far beneath me to handle personally.' He began to ponder this as he unconsciously called forth a Throne forged from Darkness and sat on it to focus his thoughts. Though he did have one last thought returning to the Echidna's Words. 'Cocky Bitch. Thinks the whole world is hers to claim.' He shook his head in shame. With that last thought he began to ponder on how to deal with his current servants issue.
