D:A:R:K:N:E:S:S Awaits (crim)

[deepwallow]

A wet rag hit him smack in the face. "Done today." Chieva said, wiping her ow face off as she walked over, indicating for Neko to follow.

[CrimsonMoon]

He sneezes in suprise but rubs his face with the rag, squinting

[deepwallow]

Chieva rolls her eyes and grabs his arm, pulling him along to the rocky ledge, but at a different spot. A rock platform floats before them and she steps on with Neko, the rock taking them to one of the hut areas. One the rock comes to a ledge, she steps off and keeps pulling him along through the area. Small goblins and other crazy creatures watch them pass, some curious and others not caring as they arrive at a hut and Chieva pulls him in. The hut is decorated with strange, exotic looking items, but Chieva stops here and lets him go, grabbing a bed roll and pushing it to Neko's chest. "Next door. Your hut." She said, pushing him out and pointing to the hut next to her that was empty

[CrimsonMoon]

He blinks and smiles brghtly," Ok, whayever!" And walks off rather cheerily, enterig the hut

[deepwallow]

The inside of the hut is completely empty, not even a bedroll inside, which musts been the reason Chieva gave him one.

[CrimsonMoon]

Neko sighs but smiles slghtly, placing the bedroll far from the door and pressing his finger against the soft stone, murmuring soft words... The collar distracted him.. How annoying

[deepwallow]

But the stone held, stubbornly almost. But the less he fiddled with it, the less it seemed to chafe him. Odd...

[CrimsonMoon]

He smiles and rests his palm against the rock," The ground's alive... Can you hear me..?" He murmurs, he glances up, hearing some creatures pass before humming softly, small lights sliding from his hands and creating a small pattern on the floor.. The lights fad to show a circle with designs inside it... A protection spell

[deepwallow]

The rock is settled against him as he stops fiddling.

-time skippppppppe-

"Up!" A voice says, nudging him hard in the side as Chieva stands over him with a raised eyebrow

[CrimsonMoon]

Neko opens one eyes and pokes her chin," How can you even tell what time it is? I thought we were underground," he chirps but yawns and sits up

[deepwallow]

Chieva only shrugs and motions for him to rolls before she leaves his hut

[CrimsonMoon]

He sits up and bites his lip, hunger knawing on his stomach though he snuck a bite from the hardened bread he had hidden... Someone else probably needed this more... One of the goblins.. He shrugs and pushes the remaining bread out.. Waiting for footsteps to find it nefore exiting the tent and watching the creature scramble away with a small smile

[deepwallow]

Chieva watched him with a raised eyebrow. "Could've asked" she said with a roll of her eyes, walking off and motioning for him to follow

[CrimsonMoon]

" I dunno anyone," He shrugs and follows her, scratching his back, the ink blue tattoo flashing briefly

[deepwallow]

Chieva facepalmed and led him off by the wrist to a large do it area, the place basically a bar. Chieva got him a after heaped with food and shoved it into his hand, rolling her eyes. "Stupid." Was all she said with a faint smile, amused by him

[CrimsonMoon]

" You take some too," He grumbles," Or you'll guilt trip me later," But neko grabs a peice of meat and swallows it in immediately

[deepwallow]

Chieva rolls her eyes and takes a piece of meat, eating it before leading him back to the rocky ledge and back to the forge, still carrying the tray of food. When they got there, there was a hammering noise as they entered. The shadow lord himself was working, tendrils of shadow sprouting from his back to hammer with him, creating a constant stream of noise as he worked. Chieva didn't react and just took another piece of meat and ate it before going to work on her anvil

[CrimsonMoon]

He setthe tray down near the door, chewing on a tough thin that seemed like a begitable at some point and going to the anvil farthest from the lord, startingto hammer away at a rod

[deepwallow]

The Lord continued working before he put it into the water with a hiss. He plull out an intricate and etremy lethal looking sword, he held it the Chieva, who looked it over, swung it a bit, before nodding with satisfaction and putting it away. The Lord smiled as his tendr disappeared a d left without a glance or word the Neko

[CrimsonMoon]

Neko relaxes a bit," Jesus.." He breathes and sudddenly asks," Why are we making these swords?"
