[kurtis_rutgar]

The streets were dark, quiet, two sets of steps soon breaking the silence. The first set heavy, uneven steps mingling with the lighter, quicker ones as a tall, dark figure seemingly stalked behind one other unwaveringly, scrutinizing them as a predator would watch its prey...

[luneshalla]

There had been another predator on those streets that night, however this particular one was relaxing under the moonlight she so enjoyed. Something new had caught her attention however, a scent she hadn't quite caught before.

Curious as she always was, Elli made her way from the rooftops and began following the scent and the sounds that had drawn her over. Maybe it was something fun?

[kurtis_rutgar]

The smaller of the two figures had faltered, glancing back over their shoulder a split second too late, a sharp glare meeting their gaze as the dark clad 'hunter' lunged, a crooked grin forming one what was once the plain, porcelain mask.

Their screams quickly died out to a low gurgle as thin, scaled tendrils armed with small barbs stretched out from his sleeves, burrowing into their flesh.

[luneshalla]

Screams and hunting wasn't something the seasoned veteran wasn't used to but she quickly bounce from roof to roof as she closed the gap, finally settling upon one of the edges of the closes building like a gargoyle in a cathedral.

Her cat-like eyes blinked out of view every time she closed them, dimming the silvery glow that they exuded as she studied the scene. She finally raised a brow at the remaining person and sighed.

"A little bit less messy would give you a better chance at not causing a scene. Even if the streets seem empty, they never are..."

[kurtis_rutgar]

The grin had turned to a frown as he tipped his head towards the unfamiliar voice, the tendrils retreating back into his sleeves, and he tossed the body away, twisting on his heels to look to the figure on the rooftops.

"...I've never had the luxury of learning table manners, never have, yes~"

[luneshalla]

"Even the fiercest predators know how to keep their prey from spoiling the night. You should be wary that something like that doesn't get you caught."

She eyed him for a few moments before grinning. "You never know when something bigger comes along. There always is something bigger out there." She'd know.. she'd been caught plenty of times before, not all of them in a very pleasant manner.

[kurtis_rutgar]

His grin returned. "Bah, I haven't seen anything to match me yet~" He laughed a little and leaned against the nearest wall, corssing his arms.

"..Now, who might you be~?"

[luneshalla]

"Please don't be one of the many foolish brutes who let their ego override their natural awareness hon. I'm rather tired of meeting those types." she said with an air of teasing, a grin on her features.

"If it tickles your fancy I am Ellistree of the Moonshadow House. And since you asked so nicely I suppose I should extend the courtesy hm? Who might you be?"

[kurtis_rutgar]

"Nice to meet you, Ellistree." He nodded thoughtfully, looking back up to her.

"The name is Kurtis-Rutgar Jones, if I remember it right.." He sighed a little.

[luneshalla]

"Kurtis-Rutgar Jones..." she replied in a wisp of a voice before smiling down.

"Well you definitely sound like a Rutgar." she added, "Do you have trouble remembering perhaps?"

[kurtis_rutgar]

"Something happened to me a while ago, though I do not know what it was, I only remember waking up from a lot of pain." He pouted.

[anu_belore]

There was little the Sin'dorei Prince hadn't seen before--a life of privilege paired with a love for learning and endless resources in the form of weathered tomes, ancient scrolls and thousands of years of combined knowledge from other spell casters, all at his fingertips.

This, creature, however...no matter how many times he mentally flicked through any and all of the guides and texts on antediluvian horrors, eldritch gods and godspawns, or demons and devilkin...he always came up short. And he was very thorough. He would have to see for himself, it seemed.

With steady, unhurried steps, Kael'thas followed the creature, intent on finding out just what he'd stumbled upon.

[luneshalla]

"Huh, amnesiac perhaps? You don't seem to be doing bad considering though. What have you done since then?" she asked curiously.

[kurtis_rutgar]

"..Just...wandering." He shook his head. "Nothing much for a person like me to do with no memories, no memories.."

[luneshalla]

"Well you must have been doing something. Maybe try searching for your memories? Or have you simply been hunting?"

[kurtis_rutgar]

"I could try to find them..though sometimes, my will is not my own, I have to hunt, so I am told."

[luneshalla]

"So you are told?" Elli had to raise a brow at that statement.

"So you are possessed then?" she asked curiously.

[kurtis_rutgar]

He sighed.
"At this point, I don't really know. No matter how hard I make an effort to think back.."

Haha, you have another person who tagged you \o/

[luneshalla]

"Have you sought out help? Maybe someone familiar with said symptoms?"

Ellistree rested her head on her hands as she looked down at him curiously. He as certainly an odd fellow.

[kurtis_rutgar]

Kurtis remained silent, sadness crossing his porcelain mask as he wracked his mind, desperately trying to think back to whatever it was that had happened to him, though a sharp pang struck at the back of his mind, and his train of thought was abruptly cut off, no good again.

He blinked at the approaching footsteps, glancing up with a frown. "..Is someone there..?"

Re: Haha, you have another person who tagged you \o/

[kurtis_rutgar]

"..Actually, no, I haven't found any others, it hadn't crossed my mind to.."

[luneshalla]

"You should probably do that. Being possessed is no way to live. Specially if you have to keep following it's orders. Take it from experience."

And she'd leave it at that, not wanting to explain further.

[kurtis_rutgar]

"I should do that.." He nodded slowly. "..But first, to find a place to begin my search.."

[luneshalla]

"There's many places you could. As far as the many realms that encompass the comos, there might even be a different plane you could visit in order to accomplish just that." she said with an amused grin.

[kurtis_rutgar]

He was silent, frowning at the thought of other realms, he hated traveling to begin with, and he shuddered at the possibility of ever doing to somewhere other than this..

"Ah..right..maybe."

[luneshalla]

"Staying here will only allow you to fester until you eventually lose yourself." She added with certainty, looking down at him.

"If you wish to grow out of this, if you wish to continue forward, you have to take the steps forward. Being led by a leash is no way to live."

[anu_belore]

"Indeed, someone is," replied a practiced, smooth voice that held just a hint of command. Kael'thas continued walking forward, though just as before, his gait was slow and casual in nature as if he had all the time in the world.

"You seem...lost. Out of place, almost."

[kurtis_rutgar]

He watched him cautiously, expression fading from his mask. Something about this new individual didn't quite sit well with him, but he stood his ground.

"Out of place? Maybe just a little, just a little.."

[anu_belore]

"I'd say. In any case, my name is Kael'thas Sunstrider." He didn't offer a hand to shake, but he offer a curt bow, one that held all the regality of the royal that he was.

"And who might you be?"

[kurtis_rutgar]

He looked him over, his mask holding a questioning expression.
"My name iss..Kurtis-Rutgar Jones..."
He then frowned. "..Is there something that I can help you with...?"

[anu_belore]

"Is there, perhaps? I wonder..." he openly questioned. The three Verdant spheres that hovered around his shoulders pulsed with fel energy as he spoke.

"I simply thought to sate my curiosity is all."
