An Ominous Message and a Wounded Member of House Cheshire
During Rigwyn's last stay at Ojaveda he managed to rifle though the message board outside the Broken Door. He managed to find a number of meeting notices apparently put up by a group called the "Enki Alliance". Reading the messages some more he discovered the names of several involved organizations and even the names of members of these organizations. Of interest were the Organizations: Kore Irka Clan, House Cheshire, and Royal House of Purrty. He made a mental note of these names and organizations before being trampled by Giroum Duprah and chased out of town by Akaiddo - one of the names mentioned on the bulletin.
A day or two had passed and Rigwyn returned on his drifter, this time with the intention of informing the fair citizens of Kore Ikra Clan's Racism and the dangers of associating with them. He bellowed threats of destruction to those who would do business with these racists.
He soared over a Fenki on the way and took note of a shiny badge she wore. He had seen this several times before in Hydlaa. It was a crest of House Cheshire. He chased and then circled Emmara a few times shouting "Disassociate with Kore Irka Clan or Perish ! Kore Irka Clan are Racists !" Emmara stared at Rigwyn, thinking "Great. Someone else that might come after us....Atagal will be thrilled".
He then circled back to Ojaveda where he hovered around what citizens he could find and shouted his ominous message "Kore Irka Clan are Racists ! Disassociate with Kore Irka Clan or Perish ! Those who conduct business with Kore Irka Clan shall pay with their lives and their dignity ! Disassociate with Kore Irka Clan or perish in shame !"
He left the city to head back to Hydlaa where he entered the sewers and shortly afterwards spotted a very attractive your Fenki. He stalked her whispering in an attempt to get her attention but was perhaps too quiet. Finally he shouted "You ! Your with House Cheshire aren't you !" Xssia shook her head, "Sorry, I'm as lost as you are..."
Rigwyn drew a sword and raised it at Xssia. She stepped back arms raised dropping daggers. He shouted once more "You are part of the Enki Alliance aren't you ! You associate with Kore Irka Clan !" "W-What!?" she exclaimed, "I don't understand?". Rigwyn stared at her badge which bore the House Cheshire crest and then back at Xssia shouting "Guilty !"
He then swung his sword at Xssia stepping in with his right foot. Xssia barely managed to avoid the blade and got a cut across her shoulder. Rigwyn grunted as he stepped into the swing somewhat off balance with his side facing Xssia . He began to turn back around to face her. Xssia held her bleeding shoulder with tears welling in her eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about... I only came here a few days ago."
Rigwyn growled at Xssia angrily shouting "You can thank the racist members of Kore Irka Clan for this experience. Next time choose your acquaintances wisely!" He then raised his sword over his head as he prepared for a downward chop. Xssia looked up at the blade then knelt down, bowing head in complete humility. Rigwyn narrowed his eyes and grit his teeth as he began to swing the sword downward and at Xssia's head. He lets out a violent shout as the blade drew closer and closer !
Xssia lifted up her arms to catch blade before it hit her head, still keeping her head bowed, tears now flowing freely, "I don't mind dying, but I can't let you sink to their level..." Rigwyn raised his swords again furiously and then slashed back downward at an angle with another hateful cry propelled by rage.
Xssia dodged to the side, the blade cutting through the back of her torso armor and the strips of cloth covering the skin of her back. She let out a scream as she fell face down on the stones. Rigwyn followed though with the swing and staggered towards Xssia. Oddly he began to feel a smidgen of guilt as he imagined what Cerryce might feel if she was in the same predicament. He shook his head snapping out of it and griped the sword with both hands as he raised it once more.
Xssia stayed face down on the stones. Covering her entire back was a large burn mark that started between her shoulder-blades and spread out like a pair of wings. A cut mark connected the two wings with an unusual lump above her spine. Xssia whimpered, "please don't look, please don't look at my back... please... please don't hurt me, I'll be good, I promise..."
Lacking empathy, Rigwyn drove the sword downward to a spot just below the left shoulder. His eyes widened as he envisioned the possibility of the sword tearing her lung open. He drove it down angrily putting his weight into it. Xssia was silent as the sword cut into her body, and she started coughing up blood. Between breaths she whispered, "I guess... Enkidukai aren't the only ones who wish to hurt me... I guess I really am a monster..."
Rigwyn felt the sword penetrate Xssia's ribs and strike the hard pavement below. He knelt down next to her and whispered "Where are your gods now ?" He then began to pull the sword out. Xssia 's eyes glazed over, "The gods... they weren't there when I was child... Why should they be here for me now?" She coughed up more blood.
Rigwyn whispered again, "Abandon all hope young monster. There are no gods to help you. You will send a message back to your house ! End your alliance with Kore Irka Clan or you will all be left to rot in the sewers." He then kicked sewer water at Xssia before he ran off leaving her alone and seriously wounded. She looked up half-dead, vision swimming as Rigwyn made his way though the sewers with a sadistic grin, wiping his sword on this leg as he cut around a corner.
[ Thank you Xssia for the excellent RP ! ]
