Snippet #2244757

Ren:

Ren quickly began shutting the windows and doors when they began asking more questions. "They initially were found a year ago, but nothing happened, so we just ignored them. Or made them ornaments. Or such. They got scattered around. Then, all of a sudden, they start glowing slightly, and they change color. Next thing we know, people are going crazy, disappearing, or worse......".

Thats when John asked "Wait, whats wor....", but was interrupted by a dark horse noise. The sound, the depth, it was all dark. Ren took cover behind a wall by a door, with a window over him, and kept himself close to it to avoid being seen. He motioned for the others to hide too. John quickly took cover behind some furniture.

Thats when some sort of shadowy, black figure approached the building. It was not a Nazgul, but, if anything, it was close to one. Whatever being had once been the owner of that body, it was deformed and changed, make into some sort of creature of dark power. The air chilled by its pure presence, everything seemed to get a bit darker, and the rain tasted sour. You could now literally see your breath, something you could not before.

Thats when it began to leave, turning away, and the effects began to recede. And in an instance, it disapeared. But there was Dark Magic at work here, that was made obvious. Very powerful Dark Magic.

Thats when Ren looked at Carrick, and noted "The last time someone tried to remove a crystal was the first time he showed up....".

However, that's when John asked a question, the very question Ren was trying to avoid. "Why haven't you been affected yet?"

Ren pulled his Sleeve down over his arm with the symbols/glyphs a little more, making the already hidden symbols still hard to read/notice. "I don't know. I have just been keeping my distance....". A lie. Maybe not a complete lie, but Ren suspected it was his symbols/runes on his arm.
