Kiss of Death

[Aldrea945]

Danny yelped as Cassandra dragged her to the ground, looking up at the new comer in surprise.
 
We should probably wait for Cifero for the next part.)

[Shadis]

[Sounds good]

[Cifero Windtail]

(Okay, so the cave has two openings now? Because I was already inside it.)
 
Rick stared at the wolf calmly.
 
"Why would I ever hurt innocent souls?" he said. "I'm not going to hurt you either, sir... and by the way, that won't work."
 
Rick began to get up.
 
The knight, true to his word, jabbed him through the chest.
 
Rick looked down at the sword, then looked back at its owner... and smiled.
 
"I told you so."
 

[Kaya]

"Wait!" cassandra quickly turns away but looks back when she still hears Rich still talking and looks stunned. "what how the hell are you still alive?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Rick looked at the girl.
 
"Who said I was alive in the first place?"

[Aldrea945]

Danny watched, fearful but silent.

[Cifero Windtail]

He looked back at Wolf. "Could you remove your sword, please?"
The wolf did, and after he removed it, the wound and the fabric of the clothing mended instantly.
 
Rick glanced around.
 
"I've got some explaining to do, don't I?"

[Kaya]

"Hell yes you do."

[Shadis]

"Uhhhhhh, I've never seen this before in all my travels... Explane yourself, Immortal! What buisness have you with these good citizens? Are you hunting them? Why are you unharmed? SPEAK, or so help me I will seal you where you stand with a rune of heimdall!" *I glance at my sword, stunned to find no blood. I then growl in a frightened, yet angry tone*

[Aldrea945]

Danny got up slowly, imagining another fight breaking out soon.  "Why don't we sit down?  We could stay out of the rain," she said, moving toward them.

[Shadis]

"I make no peaceful action untill this... Immortal's motives are made clear."

[Cifero Windtail]

"Alright... but first, let's sit down like she said."
 
*They sit down*
 
 
"Now first of all, let me start by saying that I'm not going to hurt any of you," Rick said, looking at the knight while he said the last few words. "Now let me explain my immortality..."
 
 
 
"About two months ago, I was at a function with my family when a bomb went off and killed everyone except for my sister and I, who were in a section of a building that the bomb didn't reach. However, as it was, those who planted the bomb came to make sure they got anyone. They saw us hanging around, and came after us. We didn't see them until after they had reached us. My sister and I tried to fight back but it was unevenly matched... there were only four of them, but they were armed. I managed to pin one down, but then another of them threw a knife, which struck me from behind. I only cringed for a second... but it was enough. The other one pushed me down and put a bullet in my left shoulder, then tossed me off the balcony of the building... 3 stories up. The last thing I saw was my sister punching one of them in the face... then everything went black."
He looked up. "Shall I continue?" 

[Kaya]

Cassandra winces "you dont have to if you dont wish to."

[Cifero Windtail]

Rick sighed.
"Well, i suppose I must tell you the rest so that I don't end up in whatever the heck a "rune of Heimdall" is..."
"So I was dead, as it can be presumed. But before I reached the area between heaven and hell, I was stopped by Anubis, god of the underworld. He offered me a contract... I could come back to life, but only if I helped to keep the balance between good and evil. I accepted, wishing to help stop such calamities such as the one that caused my death and the death of others at the event."
"When I woke up, a crow was sitting on my head for no apparent reason. It looked right into my eyes, like it knew what I truly was. Getting up, I first went home and put on this stuff-" He motioned to his clothing- "then went to the house of our town's head police inspector. He was startled to see me alive. I questioned him about what had happened, and where my sister was."
Rick looked down, his eys beginning to water.
"She was dead. Beaten terribly by those who killed me, she was brought to the hospital, where she struggled to stay alive for two days. But in the end, the pain was too much for her, and she expired. He had never left her side that whole time. The inspector allowed me to place my hands on his head in order to feel how much pain she had gone through." A tear ran down one cheek, strangely enough not causing his makeup to run. "That night, I swore to keep true to the oath I had taken... only now even more so."
The feline looked over at the knight. "Are you satisfied?"

[Shadis]

"Quite satisfied, sir." *Shiething my sword* "I am glad I was mistaken and that we neednt fight. Im very sorry for your loss, by the way. I suppose I have but one question. Is anyone here hurt? I tracked the paw prints of one who is wounded. I'm assuming that they are here. I cannot resist my insacionable urge to protect, So I must know, who is hurt, by whom, and where are they now?"
