Snippet #1914311

Shadow

I was so focused on my scythe being embedded in this 'Deity's' shoulder that I didn't even notice the male coming toward me until he tackled me into the ground and dragged me over to the red eyed girl like he was leading me to slaughter. Now I was forced to sit at a strangers feet like a child. "You are here to play a game. It's quite simple. Find the exit." Great, so we were dropped into a desert for someones entertainment. "You'll need all of your weapons, experience and powers to survive. Work as a team. Survive." Ok, so I'm going to have to team up with these people? Easier said than done, they're probably not very fond of me right now, considering I just showed up and dug my scythe into this Deity's shoulder.

I zoned out for a few moments not entirely paying attention to anything until my scythe was thrown and the blade was embedded an inch or two from my feet. At that point I looked up and just barely caught a glimpse of the wound I gave him close up. My mind then started pondering all the possible anatomical explanations for how the wound healed itself so fast and quickly got excited, hoping I would get the chance to dissect something or someone like that. My thoughts were interrupted however, when the red eyed one nudged me with her foot. "What's your name?" I couldn't help but snort. Of all the possible questions that could have been asked, she goes with my name. Important though it may be it could have waited. None the less, I turned my gaze to her, and swiftly jumped to my feet. Pulling a scalpel from my lab coat I lazily twirled it between my fingers, my eyes still one the one who had addressed me. "My name is Shadow. And you," I started, turning to point my scalpel at the one who tackled me, "Got dirt on my lab coat." I looked him over before tucking my scalpel back in my pocket.

"Now then." I said, turning I grabbed my scythe and let it vanish from my grasp in a swirl of black shadows. "You all know my name. Might I inquire yours?" I kept my voice steady, best not to show my weariness to these people. I see some of them as a bit of a threat and I'm sure they see me the same way. Not exactly the best way to make a team, now is it. I thought to myself.
