The Dark Tavern

Started by Guardian_Rikku489 pages

Hoshi's dark eyes suddenly caught the movement of another dark creature. Sure enough, it WAS a demon. Hoshi began to grow interested in this creature, so she glided across the room towards him, not making a sound. Her feathers and hair both rippled magically, yet her red eyes were calmer then ever.

sensing the approach of a fellow creature of the night, the hooded man looked over at the approaching woman, though still keeping his hood pulled low. Not wishing to appear unfriendy, he silently pushes out the chair opposite his own and gestures at it with a large, black gloved hand.

Her arms still crossed against her chest, Hoshi took the seat in which he offered, without hesitation. Any other might of hesitated of been frightful towards such a being, yet Hoshi showed no sign of emotion that was relavent to fear. She curiously peared into the darkness of his hood. "Where do you come from?" She asked as politely as possible, but she really didn't do 'polite' very well.

"Judging by your black wings and lack of any significant manners, I'd say the same place as you: Hell. But you appear mostly human...I'm guessing you aren't native to the Pit."

He stared at her for a long time, as if trying to make his mind up about this strange woman.

"I'm Okkoto...and you are...?"

Hoshi found him rather amusing. She surpressed a smile. She only smiled at those about to die and her sister, Hedi.

"No, not native." She confirmed.

She returned his stare, then answered. "Hoshiko,"

"Nice to meet you Hoshiko....I've never met a non-native Demon before. "

Turns his hooded face from her to the white winged woman over by the bar.

"Are you and she...related?

Her eyebrow twitched following his gave to her sister.

"Yes," She answered with confidence. "My sister." She added, in such a dangerous tone that meant if he said anything more about Hedi, she would become angry.

Holds hands up in an innocent gesture.

"Alright. I was just curious. There is a strong resemblance between you two. Despite the obvious difference in...alignment."

Referring to her obvious angelic descent as opposed to Hoshino's Demonic one.

Xornon watched the two demons converse and desided to take a seat at the bar. He had fought a demons once, it was a fight he would never forget. Both the demon and he had walked away with severe wounds, but niether died. He had seen the demon only once after that, and they had nodded at each other, and gone about their buisness. They respected each other. Xornon had a wierd fasination with other beings, Demons and Elves being two of his favorite beings to watch. He didn't watch these two though, only listened. They were both far to edgy to watch, they would sence him in a heart beat. Instead he pulled out his knife and spun it on the table top boredly (not sure if thats a word, but it is now 🙂 ).

Yuar Oro

Yuar continued to sketch a few things in his book-like sketchpad. He had kept it with him ever since he began to journey. His book was filled with many sketches- some of creatures he had met, others of various artifacts or objects he had come upon. Only a few of the sketches were fully complete- shaded to key with a background and such. Oddly enough, the only complete sketches had one thing in common- a small, child-like girl was in the picture. She had wings upon them, and she was smiling so brightly it seemed to emit a warmth from the pages.

Now however... Yuar had turned the page, and simply had begun to sketch a picture of a dagger. It seemed to be similiar to his own, accept for the account that there were minor differences. The handle of the dagger that he drew was noticably smoother, with a sun-shaped jewel upon the enterance of where the blade met the handle. His had the moon... and it was a bit more jagged around the sides than the other.
He was about to shade the picture slightly when he stopped... withdrawing a sigh and closing the book almost instantly. He sat it upon the table lightly, and pushing his ink aside he allowed his elbows to rest upon the table. Folding his hands downwards and resting his chin upon the back of his hands, he gazed about.

Hoshi stared for a moment longer, then nodded. "Right," She muttered, obviously rather bored. She became bored easily these day...but then again, even when she was still human, she became bored, which is mainly why she did you stupid things she did.

Hedi fingered the napkin that was dumped to the side of the plate. Her eyes wandered over to Hoshi and the other demon. When the demon looked at her she felt her blood run cold. A few moments later she could tell that Hoshi was once again bored.

Hoshi yawned obvioulsy, then stood. "Excuse me," She said, then left him. She had sensed Hedi's gaze towards them. She made her way towards Hedi.

"What is it?" asked Hedi. She tilted her head as she tossed the napkin to the side of her.

Hoshi frowned. "Why were you crying? I thought we were over the past." She said quietly.

"I'm not crying," said Hedi as she tried to duck her face away from her sister's prying eyes.

Hoshi saw right through her. "You lie," She answered, glaring.

"Hoshi, how do you always know how I feel?" Her shoulders slumped.

She hesitated a moment, obviously choosing the right words. "I...just do." She said simply.

"Right. I wanna forget about the past but it keeps coming back. I can't do anything about it," said Hedi.
