twitching slightly, the boy turned away and faced the wall.
"I'm sorry, but I have to do this. once I'm over, make a break for the inner castle. if I can..ill meet with you inside. if not...well. just promise me that no matter what happens on the otherside of this wall, you won't come near me. it will do us no good if we all get caught."
the boy crouches down still facing the wall.
"goodluck tarith, you may end up needing it more than me..."
and before tarith can movevto stop him the boy launches himself up and over the wall, slamming into the ground on the other side hard enough to cause tremors.
leaving their posts, most of the guards flocked over to see what had happened and found a small child, no, the small child. the wanted one. standing in a tiny crater just past the wall on the castle side. the soldiers had been warned to prpcede with some caution, but he was just a kid. the guards swarmed around the child..but it never moved. the guards pushed in slowly, closing the circle tighter around the child, when it twitched...
as soon as he had landed, death was ready. retreating into his mind, he called the creature up for quite possibly their last stand. but this time, it was the boy who spoke up.
"I tire of our life of running, hiding, sneaking. today we stand and fight."
"are you ready then? it won't be like before..who knows what could happen?"
"it doesnt matter, not a lot anyway. I just want one thing from you before I go.."
"the soldiers are moving in..tell me quick so I may comply.."
"you can't hurt my friends,.anyone and everything else is fair game."
the creature smiled..
"consider it done.."
and with a twitch of his body, death fell away..and enigma took full control.
looking around slowly, enigma eyed the soldiers who had stopped their advancmemt. his eyes had rolled back in their sockets as a result of the shift, but he had no trouble seeing. smiling widely, his small boy teeth grow long and pointed. the circle of soldiers takes a step back, and enigma starts laughing. his laughter grows more loud and more shrill and his body grows larger with a twitch. he laughs more at this, and his body rewards him with another spurt. his small child body now a towering ten foot muscle bound beast, the sound of childrens laughter still spills from its gaping mouth. the soldiers are now back pedaling to make room.
"now we shall see...who is hunted...."
sorcerers are now being drawn to the scene, and his body twitches with delight. his fingers grow out longer..tapering into blades. and large black wings rip from his back. smiling down at them, he asails them in his childs voice..
"we only want to play.." setting off another peal of the menaical laughter. his body twitches more rapidly now, and the sorcerers are begining incantations. his mouth elongates into a more lupine shape allowing more teeth to grow in, and his legs split open suddenlyas eight spider like legs crawl out to support him. his once vacant eyes glow with white light and a similar glow surfaces over his bladed fingers. with one final twitch and a howl of pain a mass of black tentacles break out of his back from between his wings and trail down onto the ground. for a few seconds...all is still. the sorcerers still trying to find sufficient magic to help deal with the beast and the soldiers dumb struck, simply stare at the abomination now before them. even as the creature reaches forward and grabs a soldier from the crowd, piercing him through with his fingers, and lifts him up to his mouth, no one moves. and as the soldiers tortured crys die out in a sudden crunch of the creatures jaws, everyone springs into action. with an earth rattling roar, enigma charges head long into the oncoming soldiers...
