A few days later, the young wraith came across a particularly uncorrupted energy, and progressed to meet it.

The wraith arose from the shadows, giving off a high-pitched laugh. "Oh, looky looky! You seem tasty," it said.

Zakrei jumped up from where he was sitting. "Tasty?" he asked, taking a few steps back. "What do you mean by that? My aunts used to say that, and then they tried to kiss me. You're not planning to kiss me, are you?"

The young Etherwight slowly glided toward Zakrei, pulling back his claw. "I mean exactly what I say! Does food not understand!?"

"I am no food! Do I look like a rat to you?" Zakrei sneered.

"Oh no!" the wraith taunted, "You look more like a feast!"

"Help me someone!" Zakrei called. "There is a weirdo here!"

"Enough talk!" the wraith screeched. He thrusted his claw at Zakrei, the Enkidukai giving off loud cries as he fell backwards and avoided the attack, quickly standing and running back a few steps. The Etherwight's arm quickly shot to the side as shadows started to appear around Zakrei's legs, soon hardening around him and encasing him in place.

"Help me someone!" Zakrei called again. "This dark thing - !" he said before his words were cut off by his own whimpering. He shook, trying to escape, but to no avail. "Please, someone! Help me!"

The young wraith drew in closer to Zakrei, thrusting his claw back once again. "You're amusing, but it's time you go bye bye!" he said as he shot his claw directly at the Enkidukai's chest. Zakrei broke out into random screaming as the claw dug around in his body, siphoning his energy. "Enough talk!" the wraith said to interrupt Zakrei's whimpering. "Let me enjoy!"

Zakrei started praising Talad, hoping he would receive help, but nothing seeming to happen. The Etherwight slashed around inside of Zakrei, the siphoning progressing as a man rushed to the scene after hearing the screaming. The wraith ripped his claw out of Zakrei's body, turning to face the man as he started casting magic to try and drive him off, the wraith simply enjoying the extra supply of energy. He thrusted his arm to the side, the shadows progressing up Zakrei's shredded body and engulfing him, hardening into cement and crushing on his body. Josel, the man that came to the scene, quickly ran away to get help as Zakrei sat helplessly trying to resist the shadows encasing him.

Josel came back later as Zakrei's corpse sat imprisoned in the enclosing shadows, continuing to feed the wraith with his magic. "That won't work, little toy!" the wraith taunted, turning around to face Josel and progressing toward him, threatening to drain him as he did Zakrei. Josel ran off once again, and the wraith turned back to where Zakrei sat inside of the shadows. Because of the small remainder of energy inside of Zakrei, he thought the Enkidukai was still alive. "You not dead yet!?" the wraith asked, quickly impaling his claw through the shadows and directly into Zakrei's neck, siphoning what was left and ripping out his claw, leaving the remains on the ground. The wraith gave off a crazy, high-pitched laugh, turning and facing the new Enkidukai female arrived on the scene along with Josel. "More food?" the wraith asked, progressing toward Ssar, the Enkidukai girl.

"What is your business here, sir?" Ssar asked, backing away a few steps.

The wraith stopped in its tracks. "Business? What's business?" he asked with confusion over the word.

"I'm asking what you're doing here," she replied.

"I'm hungry!" the wraith screeched at her, gliding toward her once more. "You're next!" More arrived on the scene as Ssar backed away from the wraith's slow progression toward her. Suddenly, the wraith thrusted his claw back and shot it at Ssar. "DIE!" he yelled in another screech, being cut short by the feeling of steel passing through his body. He spiraled around, seeing Keleyid standing behind him. He let out a dissatisfied noise. "Leave me alone! You don't look tasty!" he complained. Many of the people gathered started casting flame-based spells, the poison ichor looming around the wraith's mouth catching in flames and dispersing. He gave off a cough, his head shooting around quickly to look at all of them. "Bothers, all of you!" he screeched, sinking back into the shadows, still satisfied with the feast he had on Zakrei.

Many energies gathered into the tavern of Kada-el's soon after the assault, the wraith hiding in the shadows nearby in observation. He sensed two, one quite pure, and the other quite tainted, walking into the sewers below. The young Etherwight rushed to meet them, not wanting good food to go to waste.

When arriving, the wraith shot up from the shadows to see a young girl, and an Enkidukai boy about his age doing something together.

The wraith gave off a sneer. "Back off! She's mine!" he screeched at Anarril, the Enkidukai boy.

"Who are you?" the woman asked, glancing at the wraith. Without wasting any time, the Etherwight thrusted his claw at the chest of the woman, his eyes fixed on the Enkidukai boy that had a vicious taint. The woman Kauwela jumped aside and avoided the claw, pulling out a stiletto plated with platinum. "GO AWAY!" she screamed, stabbing at the wraith with the weapon only to be gagged with poison gas exhaled out of the wraith's mouth.

However, the weapon stabbed the wraith's arm, making him recoil and shriek, more of the potent gas filling the air. He sunk into the shadows before being stabbed anymore, reappearing in the corner of the room and raising shadows to try and engulf Kauwela, but only to be thwarted and jumped at again, the onslaught continuing. The boy Anarril watch the fight with amusement, not seeming scared by the young wraith that was attacking the woman he was spending time with.

Kauwela yelled at the boy to help her, but he simply stood making weird gestures as she tried to fight off the Etherwight, his claws darting to try and impale her in the chest once more. She jumped aside and avoided the attack, quickly jumping back and attempting to stab the wraith once again, glancing his arm as he bolted back through the shadows, small black bubbles boiling out of the ground he glided across. The wraith wandered to the other corner, his right arm completely limp from being stabbed so many times. He tried to attack Kauwela as she sat in the corner near so many shadows by raising shadowed spikes to impale her, but they only glanced as she came charging once more.

She attempted to stab the wraith again, him dodging and quickly digging into her wrist with his claw to get her to drop the stiletto, only to have it thrown into her other hand as she made many more stabs at him. By now his right side had nearly become unusable, being struck so many times with platinum, and he screeched as more poison shot at Kauwela, not seeming to have any effect on her other than making her cough. After the first stab, the wraith shot a shadow spike directly at Kauwela from below, but it merely glanced her as she jumped from where she stood and tore her wrist out of the claws of the shadowmass, maneuvering behind him and stabbing at his back with the dagger.

Trying to mimic Kauwela's movements, the wraith sunk into the shadows and quickly shot back up from behind her, darting his claw at her back to try and impale once again, only to be side-stepped away from, but luckily having Kauwela's injuries kick in, making her fall to the ground. "This thing...attacked me!" she yelled to someone else in the small room, swiping her stiletto at the wraith's knees to try and get him to fall as well.

"W-wraith?" the Kran Azeron asked, having walked right into the sewer and witnessed part of the fight. Kra ran back outside to gather more people from the tavern, as Kauwela yelled a few words to the Kran to try and get kra to help her. The wraith flexed his right claw, having feeling in his arm once more, and quickly gliding backwards through the shadows to avoid Kauwela's swipe, then launching himself at her with claws outstretched to try and run her through, but being avoided once again by the woman, having the stiletto coming at him from the side, but missing terribly as he continued rushing and melted right into the shadows outstretched on the wall in his path.

The wraith arose from behind Kauwela once again, trying to run her through like before, but this time she fell forward and spun around, scrambling to her feet in fear of the creature. "I'm hungry again! Stop struggling and let me feast!" the wraith commanded, its tone sounding quite angry as poison ichor filled the air from its words.

"Eat me!? No way!" the girl shrieked, lunging at the wraith once more with the weapon in-hand, the Etherwight avoiding and darting his claw at her stomach, coughing up more of the poisonous gas in her face. The woman jumped to the side again, seeming to push on despite having inhaled so much poison and having so many injuries from simply being glanced by previous attacks, and stabbed at him once more. The wraith sunk into the shadows, being stabbed once again where he'd been stabbed before, in his right side, and sunk into the shadows just as more people ran into the room to come to the woman's aid. "Finish it off!" Kauwela commanded in a loud yell, staggering backwards.

"What are you?" the Enkidukai girl Kamoku asked just as the wraith sunk completely into the shadows of the floor. The wraith arose once again, only to be struck by a burst of flames, the poisonous gas escaping his mouth catching flame in the air and dispersing as he drew energy in from the blast, then bulleting at Kauwela with his claws outstretched to try and ram her into the pit in the middle of the room. Kamoku stabbed at the wraith, but to no avail, as Kauwela dived out of the way of the charge and Aste came to a complete halt, not progressing forward as he did before. The wraith whipped around to attack Kamoku after feeling the steel run through his shadowflesh, also being stabbed by a blade outstretched from the weathered Ylian, Roberet. Kamoku avoided the wraith's attack, but got glanced by his claw, losing a small portion of armor and flesh.

"Recruit!" Roberet yelled, the Kran from before seeming to be the one he spoke to. "Try and push him down there!" Kamoku backed down, not wanting to get tangled up in another attack from the wraith, as his claw progressed at Kauwela only to be avoided once again, the stiletto entering his right side, his flesh boiling madly. Kauwela tumbled behind the wraith and attempted to stab him once again, but the wraith sinking into the ground one final time, evacuating himself from the fight, letting out a loud scream just before completely falling into the shadows, leaving a cloud of poisonous ichor in his wake.
