Snippet #1671548

Blaze

The imp stared at the hunter and his weaponry. It was smart enough to understand its life was in danger, so it quickly jumped deep into the tree, shaking branches and throwing leaves to create a cloud of debris. It keenly felt the presence of one of the Great Ones, and longed to join the master and its brethren. The creature lunged from its perch, hoping to get past the young hunter.


Netanya

The imp tried to drive the woman deep into the forest, but when she started speaking to it, the creature stopped and listened. The woman had an interesting knowledge of human tongues. The imp and its kin naturally had all human languages programmed into their minds, as well as the languages of beasts. Now the imp was curious. It stopped and sniffed the air, taking in the scent of the woman, and reading her blood. The imp recoiled back slightly in surprise as it smelled that the woman was of the Old Blood, one of the original peoples who dealt with "demons."

The imp coughed several times, as though clearing its throat. "אתה רוצה לאתגר אותי למשחק, אדם? האם אתה חושב מהסוג שלי לא מבין המטרה שלנו כאן?

אנחנו אמורים פשוט בשבילך בבני אדם כדי להוכיח את עצמכם. האם בחיינו אין שום משמעות? סוג שלי נהנה לשחק במשחקים להיות מטרד לבני אדם, אבל אנחנו כל כך רע שמגיע לנו מוות? זה לא משנה. רוחות שלנו לחיות, גם אם פגזים הגשמי שלנו שנרצח. אנחנו חוזרים כאשר גזע הניצולים."

The imp looked past the woman, sensing the Great One and his rage. Its curiosity kept the imp in place, and it sat back awaiting a response.


Jason and Aiden

A solitary imp noticed the two humans talking, so it stalked closer silently. It climbed the tree, observing the strange human and his tools. The imp reached forward, wanting to grab the shiny object in the human's hands. It grabbed to the long part of the object and yanked back, trying to wrestle it out of the human's grip. This imp was a youngling, and very curious. Its curiosity had not yet been tempered with caution that real experience provides, and it perhaps did not understand that its lie was in danger. Still, the imp was strong and brave, qualities that Djinn and Ifrits prefer in their servants.


Brennus

Brennus observed the ceremony from a distance. The strange Aussie, Titus, seemed to be enjoying himself, but Brennus considered all of this simply business. He chose not to interact with the hunters as he ranked their performance, and made sure to make his impact in the forest as minimal as possible. Brennus noticed the smoke and heard the roaring, and instantly knew something was happening. The roar sounded much like an Ifrit. How could an Ifrit be summoned here? The summoner was apparently quite an adventurous sort. Brennus cautiously made his way to the demon, hoping to observe its behavior. Tapia would want to hear more about it later.
