Fires of Reality.

footsteps could heard coming to the door, before it opened to dante. once he saw who it was, he simply nodded and opened the door, turning and walking into the room. inside was rather barren, save a few pieces of parchement scattered around and a scroll or two, there was only a bed and table. dante walked to where he was, a few pieces of parchment with dark writing and symbols on it littered the floor around him. he simply sat down, examining them.

[Dzeintra]

Aaliyah glanced around, absently picking up a piece of paper with a rune on it. Glancing at the rune she tutted "Got a pen or something on you?" she asked, walking over to the desk and placing the paper down on it. A brief glance at the other runes brought a slight frown of disapproval "You know, you'd be able to use these in spells much better if they were written by a demonic hand," she lifted a lip in disgust "Not a mortal one."

[master]

dante looked at her, indiference in his face.
"the demon that wrote those was nearing his end of days, a curse. he wrote those up as a final act for me. but if you wish for a more flawless version..."
he looked around then gripped a scroll, tossing it to her. indeed, this one was as masterfully done as they come, and contained many a spell or art.

[Dzeintra]

Aaliyah sniffed "I don't deny that you might have believed that he were a demon, nor that -he- certainly thought so...but no self respecting demon would ever die." she shrugged and unrolled the scroll, her eyes widening as she read the runes. "Do you know what you have here?!" she squeaked, still swiftly reading her way through the scroll.

[master]

dante looked back.
"don't insult the creature who made those. he had no choice but to die, he was cursed by a fallen. and i haven't gotten to that scroll yet, but they were made by the same person, only earlier in life."
he looked around then picked up another scroll, examining it, before opening it.
"this is the one i'm on."
inscribed were varies spells for controls, from elements to energies.

[Dzeintra]

"Aah." Aaliyah said tactfully, deciding to shut her mouth for the moment. She glanced at the scroll he was holding and pointed to two spells "If you combine them you get....unusual results." She unrolled the scroll she was holding and said softly "This one has individual spells in it that you would be able to use, for ....small scale things, but all the runes, -everything- on this scroll is for one major spell."

[master]

dante looked at the scroll.
"that's the one he said should be learned last. he said it incorperated all the other teachings, and i'd need the control of them all to accomplish it..."
he picked up the scroll he was working on, unrolling it to a specific spell. he raised his two fingers and wrote a rune in the air, then pulled his finger back, fire on the tip, pushing it to the center. for a moment, it seemed like something would come from the fire, the face of something seemed to emerge, but then dissapated. dante gave a sigh.
"two more spells in this scroll, and one more scroll before that final one..."
he gave another sigh and started the spell again, trying a few times, each time getting closer.

[Dzeintra]

Aaliyah nodded and sat on the bed, watching his attempts at the spell with interest. Controlling the dark forces was never something she bothered to learn, usually finding other ways to get what she wanted.

"I'm Aaliyah." she said after ten minutes of silece. "And you're Dante so it doesn't really matter if you know my name." She stretched carefully, making sure that the half-size too small dress didn't tear as she cracked her neck.

[master]

dante looked to her, nodding.
"here, think i got it..."
he closed his eyes and made the rune, the fire ensuing around his finger as he pushed it forward. he opened his eyes just as the figure began to come from the rune, then watched as it finally came out. before him was pure fire, in the form of a dragon. it was small, smaller than a person, but he wasn't trying to make a big one. with a light smirk, he stood. the dragon merely stayed still until dante waved his hand, the creature following it like a kite. dante then shot his hand open wide and it dissapated into nothingness. dante merely nodded and sat back down, examining the final spell.

[Dzeintra]

Aaliyah watched the dragon closely, intruiged by the fact that he could summon a fire dragon and make it take a corporeal form. "Impressive." she commented, carefully rolling the scroll up and placing it on the desk. She glanced out the window and sighed "I guess I should go, I'm getting a little hungry."

[master]

dante took the final spell and stood, examining it closely. he set it on the bed, looking at it, then outstretched his arms. with his eyes fixed on the spell, two symbols, he drew them in the air. both symbols were different, and he easily drew them. once completed, he drew his hands away from the symbols, a smoke ensuing his finger tips. he thrust his arms to the opposite sides, making them hit the opposite symbol. he strained as he controlled his power and brought his fingers together on both hands, before shooting them out wide. the symbol lingered by his hand, just as it was, but the spell seemed to be finished. he lowered his hands, the symbol following, examining the parchment.
"oh..."
he stretched his arms out, lowering his head. he said a few odd words, then nodded.
"shockwave."
immediately, a shockwave of power shot from his hands, the symbol disappearing as a hole appeared on the wall and through the door, each the size of his hand. quickly, the bartender rushed up.
"what the... dante, i told you to do that outside!"
dante just looked to his hands, which lightly smoked, then nodded to aaliyah.
"you're hungry, right?"
he immediately walked to the door, walking out and right past the bartender.

[Dzeintra]

Aaliyah nodded and followed him out, casting a curious glance at the hole in the wall. She smiled faintly at the scowling bartender and brushed a hand along his cheek, sending waves of pleasure through his body as she left.

"You'll probably won't want to see me hunt Dante." She called as she decended the stairs, the light cotton sighing around her calves. She ignored the occupants in the tabroom and firmly shut the door behind her when they got outside.

"Seriously, my hunting and...finale you could say, are somewhat...peculiar, even for the creatures of the netherealms."

[master]

dante didn't even look to her.
"go ahead and go fuck someone, like i give a shit."
he nodded and pointed to another building.
"it's a brothel. i'll be there when you're done."
with that, he simply walked towards the building, not giving a second glance to aaliyah

[Dzeintra]

Aaliyah rolled her eyes and walked away, meandering towards the markets for more easily accessable prey. She was in luck, there was a rich fat moron and his piggy wife, shopping for clothes for their little darlings. A slight challenge to get him without wifey or the brats knowing, but then, she relished something difficult.

"Sir! psst, sir!" she hissed, getting his attention briefly, she hunched down slightly, as though ashamed of how tight her clothing was. "Sir, could you please help me out? I'm sure you're a kind individual and would help a lass in trouble?"

He ran his eyes over her figure, barely refraining from licking his lips at such a delectable morsal of the female species begging for his help. "Certainly m'dear, what do you need?"

"Would you mind awfully getting me some decent clothes? I can't be seen like this!" she gestured to her attire, drawing his attention to her lush figure. He nodded and said "Meet me in ten minutes, I'll have something decent for you to wear then."

She nodded and slipped into the shadows, silently cheering, this was way easier than she thought. It was so nice at how predictable men were, horny pigs. Sure enough, he arrived carrying a silken dress, a blouse and some trousers. He placed them on a crate and stood between her and them, gazing at her steadily. "Now little lady, what do I get in return?"

"Oh please sir, I don't have anything to give you!" she gasped, as though appalled that she might have to give him something in return.

"Hmm." he ran his eyes over her figure, "You could always show me what they would look like on you."

"Oh sir!" she blushed prettily "Hand me the dress please?"

"Give me yours first." he stared at her implacably, evidently enjoying having her on a string, or so he believed.

Aaliyah smiled slightly and was the very image of reluctance as she wriggled out of her too tight dress, letting him gaze at her naked perfection with patience. She moved towards him, her hips swaying and placed a hand on his chest, over his heart. "Enjoy the last sight your eyes will ever see?" she snarled in his ear, cupping his crotch with her other hand and swiftly draining his lifeforce through the two most potent parts of the male body, his heart and his dick.

Once he crumpled to the floor Aaliyah pulled him behind some crates and in her demoness form she swiftly devoured the body, leaving only a few scraps of clothing. And all anyone ever saw was a slender and attractive young lady walk out of an allyway in trousers and a blouse, holding a swathe of fabric over her arm.

[master]

once dante arrived, he was greeted by one girl in particular, who seemed to wait for him.
"dante!"
she said with a smile, running over and hugging him. dante pat her head lightly.
"hey.."
she looked up at him with a suggestive smile, nodding to a door.
"hey, the usual?"
the girls around seemed interested at first, but their interest was lessened when it seemed to be normal business. dante merely nodded, watching as the girl gripped his hand, leading him to the back room and shutting the door. there was the sound of rustling in the back room, but none of the other girls paid attention.
