Skyler jolted awake in her bed, her heart pounding inside of her chest. She wiped the cold sweat from her brow as her raven landed on the edge of her bed. "I'm coming." Skyler pushed her blankets back and slid from the bed, being careful not to wake her fiance. She felt the cool breath of death at the back of her neck. She took a deep breath as she slid on her silk robe and quietly made her way downstairs. The Raven silently followed her down as she went to the gardens. "Shadows suit you well, Leon." She said softly as she folded her arms across her chest, her face cold as she saw the blue eyed demon seem to melt from the darkness to stand before her. Once....Skyler thought him beautiful. But she knew beneath that beautiful face was a monster. One that destroyed her world. But perhaps what took her aback as she gazed at him, was the regret in his eyes.
"Its good to see you, Lady Death." He said formally as he went to one knee before her. Skyler kept her face expressionless as she watched him. "There are no words that could ease the pain....or my crimes against your kin. You owe me nothing yet I owe you everything.....Yet I would beg a favor of you." He said softly as his head bowed. Skyler's jaw clenched ever so slightly as she looked down at him. "Release me.....The blood of your kin once soaked my hands.....and now I would beg you to take the justice you deserve. Free me.....and claim the vengeance of your family." He begged her. Skyler felt her fangs sharpen against her gums. This man....this demon....had taken so much from them in her mortal life. Tortured her parents. Stole her mother's heart and gave it to a demon who had nearly killed them all. And now here he knelt....begging her to release him. To end his life. She knew as the Goddess of Death and War that she could end him. This was her duty. Her decision. She took in a deep breath.
She took a slow step towards him. Then another. Until her bare legs brushed his bowed head. She reached a hand down and trailed her fingers through his hair. He trembled beneath her touch. She paused. Contemplating her decision. She struck. Her grip on his hair yanking him to his feet as her other hand punched hard. Splintering ribs and tearing through sinew. He cried out as blood spat from his lips. She felt his heart beating in her palm as her fingers curled around it. Felt the tar like stickiness of his blood on her skin as her glowing silver eyes found his panicked blue ones. "This.....is what they felt...." She growled as she squeezed the throbbing muscle. "What I felt....when you ripped their hearts out infront of me. Knowing I would feel it. See it." She said as she squeezed it tighter, making him sob. She got nose to nose with him as she held him. "I should rip you apart.....one piece at a time. But....." She said before she spit in his face. "That'd give you relief. Freedom. And YOU don't deserve to be free." She said before she yanked his head back hard.
"You don't deserve mercy. Or kindness. Only agony. So I will show you the only thing you deserve..." She buried her fangs deep into his throat then. Drawing blood with greedy hunger as she fed on him. Drained him. Her hand tightened. Squeezing his heart until she felt it burst like a grape in her fist. His screams echoed before fading into silence. She drained every drop from his veins until his body went cold. She dropped his corpse as she stepped back. A smirk curved her lips as she saw him rise then.....a transparent soul hovering over his body. Her glowing silver eyes looked to him before she slashed her bloody claws along his form. His eyes widened as his mouth opened. But no sound came from him as he stared at her. Skyler smirked. "Only the brave deserve the peace of death. Of Heaven. But the Gates will forever be closed to you. I CURSE you....to wander this mortal world. Mute. Eternally hungry. Eternally thirsty. You will ache in unimaginable ways with no solace. No comfort. No peace. A powerless Shade. No one will hear your voice. No food nor drink will ever ease your thirst. No warmth will soothe you. You are nothing. And will forever remain as nothing." Skyler said as she waved a hand and watched his body turned to blackened ash at her feet.
