It was not often the ambassador of anguish parted from the sanctity and sanctuary, if one could consider such viable, of Wing City. His coordinated machination had been churning agonizingly slow, but with the wisdom he'd gained, he found that such enterprises seemed to flourish if marinaded properly. He'd been in no rush, and today was yet another testament to his patience as he wandered far from his natural preying grounds. Still clad in all his obsidian glory, his eyes were the only visible portion of his actual body, save for a few stray locks of crimson that slid their way out from beneath his billowing hood. In his quest to induct further members into his project, he'd taken careful consideration to past accomplices, if one chose to see them as such; even he teetered on the edge of suspecting them as such. It had dawned on him that he had, at one time, been apart of a grand, devilish, scheme almost much the same as his own, but as well paradoxically different in its own aspects. The main perspective was seemingly the same; spreading misery and malice. This days goal was simple in the grand scheme of things. A single, powerful, figure he'd remembered from his days amongst Orsa.
Stalking through withered, and dead, tree's, the obsidian clad figure came to a brief pause amongst a sea of gardens. At the epicenter stood a single tired, and decrepit, mansion. Studying it, his eyes, keen and burning, singled out what appeared to be open doors, skewed on their hinges. An audible exhale stretched the fabric that clung to his face so tightly as he again resumed forward motion, an audible hiss as he drew in his next breath. He had never been close to any of those within Orsa. He had no need to. In fact, the entire roster of fools sealed their own miserable fates from the beginning, opting to work disbanded as opposed to a whole. He was none the less guilty of such a thing, opting for his brute strength and tact as opposed to a unified strike. It wasn't long until his interest had waned and he'd parted ways with the ordeal altogether. Stories told held mention of far worse fates for others within the struggle. Perhaps he was wise to have departed when he did. It wouldn't change the fact he'd still receive snide remarks by those who'd managed to survive, but in such a case a swift backhand would silence their senseless, biting, remarks.
"I wasn't very fond of any of you, but perhaps if you still possess the drive, and the will, you'll be of some use to me." He uttered, finding his proximity to the large structure ebbing away. "I'll have much use for you, if what I know is to be true." A whisper followed as he came to a halt before the looming entrance; the doors twisted and hanging. Hardly a second passed before he continued his way in, eyes scouring from left to right. Trespassing, even if a domineering, and powerful, being was risky. The failure that Orsa had inspired was sure to leave sour remnants in ones mouth, even if dead.
Coming to a halt within the main entrance hall, his eyes trailed to the floor to take note of the shattered chandelier that, at one time, must have been grand and a fetching ornament. Now it lay in a crumpled mess, its shimmering innards splayed out on the floor acting as a precarious hazard. Treading lightly, he moved toward the twisted, and disfigured, banister that appeared to be missing portions. With no sight, or sound, of who he sought out, he shook his head in slight dismay, though he knew better.
"Left to your own devices, do you still thrive? Or are you a withered, wretched, carcass that exists only in spite." He began, again turning his attention left and right, searchingly. "I have a proposition to explain."
Oh, the glory he sought. Be he damned if he'd not achieve his ultimate aim. As a man crafting a delicate, and vast, device; Tools were what he sought after. Tools and additional hands to craft with. Considering such, she was to be a hand, whilst the expendable cretins he'd picked up, like stray mongrels, would be his tools. But, 'lo, a tool was only as useful as the hand that worked it, and therefore he was being keen, so he thought, in who he'd latch his talon nailed fingers into. Would she be as he remembered? He'd seen but glimpses of her; had heard but uttered phrases. If memory served him well, this would be a very satisfying encounter.
