Rylen looked upon Aura with a slightly confused look. He hasn't dealt with such......comfort in a long time. It was a little uncomfortable for him to say the least. As a Silver Guard he is more used to burying his feelings deep down, and using them to fuel his drive. Not talking about them like this. He wasn't quite sure what to say at this point. "I....don't know if killing her will free me of these visons. But I'm going to do it anyways. She must die, her existence is a stain on this land, and I must cleanse it."
"Are you sure you don't want to rest? We might not have the chance for awhile." He asked her in a slightly worried tone. He let out a sigh, and figured she could deal with whatever it is she's feeling on her own. "I suppose I could use some rest. I'll awake in an hour to relieve you." He stated as he sat down on the other side of the fire. He sat up, and crossed his legs in a pose not too dissimilar to someone meditating. He took in several deep, and calming breaths, and then closed his eyes.
"Oh how the mighty have fallen." Rylen's eyes shot open as he heard the screech of the Midnight Lady's voice. She stood before him, walking closer towards Rylen. The fire shot up intense as she walked through the flames. Rylen's eyes darted around in search of Aura, she was nowhere to be found. "Where's Tessa you vile hag!" He growled as he leaped up from the ground, and stood in a fighting position. "Please, I'm not here to throw you around. I'd prefer a little foreplay first. But we'll have all the time for that later." She cooed at him with a sinister grin.
Rylen glared at her with the intensity of a hundred suns. He was ready to rip her head off with his bare hands. He then relaxed his stance as he realized what was going on. "This isn't real is it? It's some sort of dream isn't it? You're not really here are you?" He asked as he watched her every move. "Well, look at the brain on you! Yes, this is a dream, and no I'm not actually here. But yet, yes I am. You were always too smart for your own good Ry-Ry." She smirked as she began circling him.
"You don't know me." Rylen stated with a slight growl. "Oh I know you better than you know yourself Ry-Ry." She smirked as she rubbed his cheek at the same spot Aura did before. Rylen forcibly grabbed her arm, and glared at her. "Mm, you know how I like it." She smirked with a satisfied smile. Rylen rolled his eyes as he shooved her hand back to her. "So am I to assume Guards are on their way here then?" Rylen asked. "Oh I have no idea."
"I'm not the original. Let's call me a.....back-up plan. I'm a shred of the original's consciousness. I'm a fail-safe incase something were to happen to the curse that keeps you rascals in line." She explained. "What curse? He asked with renewed interest in talking with her. "Now that would be telling. I'm not.....what's the word for it, programed to tell you. Even if I wanted to, which I don't. It's more fun watching you squirm." She continued to gloat.
"Then we are done here." Rylen stated in his usual cold tone. "Oh, we are far from done Ry-Ry. I'm not just the woman of your dreams, I'm in your head." She stated with a sinister grin. "What are you going on about witch?" He asked with an annoyed roll of his eyes. "I'm more than just in your dreams, I'm in that little messed up melon of yours." She said as she playfully poked him on the forehead. "I have more control over you than you know. Of course I can't control your actions entirely because of that whore, but there are moments when your defenses are down, when I can....push you in the right direction."
"I won't be controlled! Not by you, not by anyone." He growled in response. "Oh don't believe me? That's a shame. I'd never lie to you Ry-Ry." She said as she got uncomfortably close to him. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and leaned in closer to his face, and forcibly planted a kiss on his lips. His eyes shot open, and he was standing behind Aura, sword in hand, prepared to stab her. He backed away, and turned around to see the Midnight Lady. His mark pained his chest, and the Midnight Lady disappeared in a puff of smoke, though only Rylen could see her.
