Forbidden Darkness (Sosuke0549)

[Nicholi]

Dameon had a slight clue as to what was happening to the boy. But the thought of that happening so soon, was a bit worrying to himself. Clinching his teeth tightly as his gaze stayed on Nicholi, whom was on the floor doubled over in pain. "We will need to give them room to come out." He said. "I would do it, But..." He paused for a short moment. "He isn't mine... You will have to do it. Make a slit in the skin right on the edge of the blades. Then all we can do is sit and wait. You may have to help his wings come out all the way. Just be careful not to break them. They will be delicate for a few days until the bones solidify."

 

Nicholi whimpered loudly as his body was curled up into a tiny ball on the floor. Crimson tears streamed down his face and dripped onto the floor into tiny puddles.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus nodded. He remained calm as he went and grabbed a knife. He suddenly stood over his youngling. And ripped off his shirt.

Nicholi listen to me...I have to make a slit in the skin right on the edge of your shoulder blades. It will help your wings come out all the way... please... forgive me for the pain..

And he slide the knife into his skin. Helping the boys wings come. Blood staining his hands . He was so tempted to lick it up.

[Nicholi]

At that very moment, Nicholi just wanted the pain to be gone. He didn't care anymore of what was happening to him. This pain... was worse than being reborn into to the darkness. However, he cried out as the slits had been made on his shoulder blades and his nails clawed at the floor. Small whimpers past his pale lips as the tears cascaded down his face. Once the wings had been pulled free of his skin, his body fell limply against the floor. He still felt the pain, but not as bad as before. And his skin was starting to heal around the cuts to form nicely at the base of the wings.

 

Wings of pure black now adorned his back, they quivered behind him even in his weak and pain ridden state.

 

Dameon watched as everything happened much quicker than he had realized. This boy had gained his wings much quicker than his own had. Yet... This boy was the reincarnation of what he himself had so long ago. He knew the trials and suffering the two of them would have to endure before fate would come for the boy. Pulling something from his pocket, he unwrapped a small pouch he had. Drawing out a beautiful flower from it before putting the pouch away. He knelt down to the boy, keeping an eye on Magnus so that the other knew he wasn't going to harm Nicholi. "Here... It will help with the pain. You will feel sleepy, but try to stay awake as long as you can." He said softly as he gently placed the flower into the boy's mouth. "Chew it and swallow."

 

Nicholi didn't have the strength to complain when the flower had been placed into his mouth. Chewing the flower up weakly before painfully swallowing it. The taste had his stomach turning and he gaged to spit it back up.

 

Dameon turned his gaze to Magnus. "Give him a little... Just to wash the taste out of his mouth. Istealin doesn't taste very well, despite its beauty." He whispered before moving away from Nicholi.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus was dazed a little by the boys beautiful wings. He watched in awe as they emerged, but soon focused on his youngling in pain. He watched as he friend approached his underling. Telling him to eat a Istealin. Magnus recognized the flower well. He nodded to his friend knowing Dameon wouldn't dare harm Nicholi. He sighed as the boy struggled to couch It up.

"Give him a little... Just to wash the taste out of his mouth. Istealin doesn't taste very well, despite its beauty." [/Quote]

He agreed as he keeled down beside Nicholi.

He bite into his wrist and took in his own blood. Letting it fill His mouth. He then brought Nicholi's soft lips againest his. Feeding him His blood.

When he was done- He licked away any stray blood. His eyes glowing a blood thirsty red.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi groaned as he was being fed his Sire's blood. His eyes were shut tightly for a long moment as the pain seemed to of gotten much worse. But it was when Magnus had pulled away and he had swallowed the blood that the medicine had started to take affect. Groaning softly as his eyes slid half open, he was starting to feel sleepy again. Yet, he did the best he could to stay awake for the time being.

 

Dameon nodded before he turned to take his seat back. "He has done well to survive the transformation... And at a faster rate the mine had." He murmured softly. But his thoughts to him away for a moment, the next challenge wouldn't be so easy. And Magnus was going to have to carry the boy's heart for him, if either of them desired to continue living.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus gently lifted the boy in his arms and slowly put him on the couch. He sat beside Nicholi but, he made sure the boys head was resting on his lap,as he ran his fingers gently threw the boys hair.

You can rest Nicholi. Close your eyes. I will be be by your side when you awaken. You have been threw a lot tonight.

He turned his attention over to Dameon.

You truly seem to know everything...thank you. I'm not sure what I'd do...with out some of your guidance.

He gave a fadded smile.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi groaned as he was picked up off the floor and set on the couch. Curling up once his head had been placed on his Sire's lap. His wings quivered behind him lightly, though the black feathers seemed to shine brightly with a light blue hue to them. His bright icy eyes closed as he let himself rest.

 

Dameon nodded. "Do not mistake my knowledge of the DragonSlayer, I know a decent bit. Yet, I do not know everything about them." He said softly. His mind took him back for a short moment as he remembered what had happened that tragic night. His gaze lowered to the floor. "He had not been ready for the task but his human heart wanted him to do it. I had been caught in the crossfire and he wanted to save me. I had been foolish enough at the beginning to think that I would be unable to give him the love and attention that he desperately needed in order to keep the heart from killing him. But when he tried to use the heart crystal to save the race of our kind... It had been the final and dying wish that I would be safe. The crystal... if one uses it and does not have the strength it kills them. And by the looks of it... Your little one already has knowledge of that. Maybe that is why he pushed you away in the first place? He was scared, he didn't know what to do to cope with such a thing." He whispered.

[Sosuke0549]

He smiled a little looking down at his youngling.

"Perhaps. But... I am not afraid to die. I realize that Nicholi is such an...innocent person. If I could I would trade places with him in mere seconds."

He gently continued to crease his underling. His thumb graze over his button lip. The boy was truly beautiful and kind hearted. He should of never become a child of darkness.

" Dameon... I know this may be hard for you. But I want to know that you are greatly appreciate here. Tho you might not know everything about the Dragon slayer you are willing to spend your time here. I can't thank you enough. I only wish to some day repay this favor. "

[Nicholi]

Dameon frowned as he heard the man. He did not understand the weight that the boy carried upon himself, even if Magnus had wanted to trade places with the boy. It would kill him within an instant just from the heart alone. A soft sigh was pulled from himself as he heard the next words that were spoken. "I do not require anything, All I ask of you is to love him. Doing so, and being the protector of his heart, will keep the darkness from consuming him. Also... when the time comes, it may be just enough to keep his heart from... killing him in the end." He whispered softly.

 

Nicholi looked so peaceful as he slept. Feeling a calming warm all over his body.

[Sosuke0549]

"I will... I will be there for him."

He sighed himself, staring down at his new found lover. He wondered What was next in there strange story between him...and this Dragon slayer.

"He's so...special"

He looked up at his friend.

"Are you hungry? You can go find a meal if you want. I must stay here"

[Nicholi]

Dameon nodded as he heard the man. He just hoped they all would be ready for the challenges that would arise soon. It would no surprise him if the boy's scent had already caught up to the lycans that stayed within the borders of this land. But there was something troubling him as well, much worse than the thoughts of Lycans. If the boy's former Sire had gone through the trouble of trying to destroy the boys mind, how much farther would the man go to try and kill him off? Snapping out of his thoughts after a short moment in hearing the man once again. He nodded after a long moment. "I will try not to be to long. Just keep an ear out for any trouble. I fear that things are going to be getting interesting shortly." He said softly before taking his leave of the place to hunt down something for himself.

 

Nicholi groaned softly as he turned over in his sleep, his fingers curled into the fabric of his Sire's shirt lightly.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus nodded. He watched as his friend disappeared and smiled a little as Nicholi turned in his sleep, clinging to his shirt. He leaned down and kissed the boys forehead. He gently took Nicholi's hand and brought it to his lips. Kissing his palm. His fingers slowly curling and intertwining with his.

"I won't let anything happen to you..."

He continued to run his fingers threw the boys hair, with his free hand. Wanting to ease him. His eyes staring at his wings...

[Nicholi]

Nicholi shifted a little as his hand was taken from its spot. He was still quite conscious of what was happening around him, even if he were still to far in his sleepy state. The wings on his back folded neatly behind him, but they still quivered lightly.

 

Dameon did not take the time for luxury. Finishing his meal off quite quickly before he started to head back. His mind was alert, scanning around himself to make sure nothing had caught him in his act. And making sure nothing was following him, they needed to keep the dragonslayer protected while he is unsure of himself. And most importantly when he has no clue on his vampyric powers besides his dark gift.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus slowly laid the boys hand down. Seeing his quivering wings. He was debating whether or not He should put the boy to bed or late him rest here. He ultimately decided to late him rest here, not wanting to wake up. He took off his jacket and put it over Nicholi wings. Wanting to keep him warm. But He himself was getting parched, and the boys neck look good enough to take a bite out of.

[Nicholi]

Nicholi curled up when his head was set down on the couch. A soft murmur left his lips that was incoherent. Shifting lightly as the coat had been placed over him, he settled down after a short moment.

 

Dameon had just returned in time to see Magnus place the coat down on the boy. He had stayed quiet as he leaned against the doorframe. He knew that look, all of their kind had the similar look. Shaking his head after a moment. "I wouldn't if I were you..." he whispered softly. "Go... get a meal. I will watch over him until you return." he said as he made his way to take the seat he had taken before.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus flinched. Hearing his friend. Snapping out of his blood lust.

"I wouldn't if I were you...Go... get a meal. I will watch over him until you return." [/Quote]

He gulped. Slowly pulling away from Nicholi, letting him rest his head on the couch. He stood up staring down at the boy for a long moment before muttering

"Thank you"

And disappearing. He was awfully tempted. To crave the boy He so desperately protected and fed and liked. It was only natural.

[Nicholi]

Dameon nodded as he heard Magnus. Once the man had left the room, his gaze lowered to the floor once again falling into his thoughts. If Magnus had taken the boy's blood at that moment, it would have only turned things against them. It had only been natural for a Sire to crave their younglings blood just as it is natural for a Childe to crave their Sire's. But seeing the boy still asleep and with the medicine within his system, it would of affected Magnus as well. And at that moment, they really did not need Dameon to be the only protector of the place.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus returned an hour later. He was usually very clean when he fed but he had devoured the human. Getting blood all over him. He walked in, making sure his youngling was ok.

Is everything ok?

He looked at Dameon. Knowing he was a trustworthy person.

He needed to take a shower.

Will you continue to watch him as I clean up?

[Nicholi]

Dameon stirred out of his thoughts as he sensed Magnus' return. It wasn't long before he was rewarded with a message, nodding after a long moment. Go, clean yourself up. He is alright, still asleep. He said softly. He had grabbed a book from the library earlier and settled down in the chair to amuse himself with it.

 

Nicholi stirred just a little, but the medicine was still affecting him. Not allowing him to awaken fully.

[Sosuke0549]

Magnus stared at himself in the Mirror. He sighed as he stepped into the shower. He had completely undressed. He sighed as the hot water hit his cold skin. He let it run down his body. Relaxing a little, it felt so good. He soon grabbed a wash cloth and began bathing himself. When he fished his washed himself off and got out. Drying off. He decided to put on long black pants and a unbutton down shirt. He tried his long red hair back in to a pony tail as he shortly returned to his youngling's side. He was never gone long.

thank you again... He said to Dameon.

He sighed looking down at the sleeping boy.

[Nicholi]

Dameon had closed his eyes only for a moment before he heard Magnus return. Nodding after a short moment of hearing him. "The medicine will be wearing off shortly, But with the sun coming up... he may still be out for the rest of the day. Tomorrow, we will start his real training. I just hope.... that his emotions are not to tied to his gifts." He paused a moment. His little one's had been and it was a pain, it felt like torture with saying things he didn't mean to the boy just to get his powers to come out. He just hoped he didn't have to go to such lengths with Nicholi.

 

Nicholi groaned softly as his fingers curled in the coat gently.

[Sosuke0549]

I agree...ever since I took him in. All I have done is worry about him. He is truly no walk in the park"

He smiled faintly -letting his fingers slide against his cheek, gently. He realized that he was having a difficult time keeping his hands to himself. He pulled away looking at Dameon.

"I suppose I'll take him to bed. Feel free to do whatever you like."

He appeared in front of Nicholi and scoped the boy into his arms. He slowly went to their bedroom and laid Nicholi down. Tucking him in with care.

"Sleep well...My dear Nicholi~ "

He kissed his forehead.

[Nicholi]

Dameon raised a thin brow at the word that had come from Magnus. Shaking his head after a long moment. "You mustn't worry so much about him. Yes... It may be that he holds a special gift, and maybe he is inexperienced. But that does not mean that he does not know how to protect himself when need be." He said softly. Nodding after a long moment as he watched Magnus carry the child away.

 

Nicholi let a soft whimper leave his lips as was picked up off the couch. Curling up into the arms that carried him to bed. Being placed in the bed, he curled up on it. His fingers lightly clinching at the covers after he had been tucked in.

[Sosuke0549]

Perhaps his friend was right. Magnus sighed as he left the room. When Nicholi woke up they'd start his training. He just hopped the youngling would be ready to at lest try, Magnus went outside and sat. Staring up at the night sky. He thought about things. Mostly Nicholi. What if... he destroyed them all?

[Nicholi]

Dameon had gone to the library to look around, not to find out any information on the dragonslayer... mostly because he himself had lived with the legend. Books never told the whole story anyways. There were stuff that books could never explain. However, brushing up on some magical art of his own. He needed to ready himself, since the last time he had dealt with any magical being... was right before his had sacrificed himself to save their race. Tho he knew Magnus' mind was in turmoil over different thoughts that would rampage through the man's mind. Battling between what if's and what really was. He wished he could help the man ease his worries. But the only thing he could do was give advice and strength. I told you to stop worrying so much... you will get wrinkles if you keep this up. He is fine... Are you really going to let yourself believe what his former Sire had been planting within the child's mind? He murmured into Magnus' mind.
