Argus wandered, he did not know where, but he wandered. The way around him was cloaked in a grey mist, no matter how hard he tried to peer through the fog, it seemed to grow thicker. He waned as he continued to walk, the equipment upon his back, his Swords, his Bag, his Camping supplies, all of it seemed heavier than usual. Eventually, he succumbed to his weariness and sat down, placing his bags down next to him and beginning to set up camp. His vision seemed different, more blurred, but everything to him seemed so real. He took off his leather armour, undoing the straps slowly as he began to tire from traveling, and walked out into the woods to find some firewood branches, leaving his equipment in his encampment.
He brought enough firewood back in a few minutes, and created a campfire to warm himself and his food upon it. It also took him another few minutes to place his cauldron atop the flames and began creating a stew for his evening meal. As he looked into the fires, he knew something was wrong, they were hypnotizing, almost making him even more tired. His senses drew him away, and allowed him to continue with his food. As the stew finished bubbling, Argus took a bowl from his sack and was about to pour some stew into the bowl, when he saw some smoke rising from the cauldron. They took the shape of a young woman, but her skin was grey and her hair dark with purple tips. Horns grew from her forehead, but they were attractive like the rest of her body. He was barely clothed, and instead wore a revealing undergarments and such. It stepped out of the smoke and suddenly became real, which alarmed Argus and made him draw his sword.
"There is no need for that, Argus Umyn." The woman said, her voice calm and soothing. Her eyes were not normal, they were darkened and had purple irises, but Argus was distracted by her revealing clothing. He still held his sword to her, ready to cleave her head from her neck with one foul move, but did not wish to. The woman walked towards him and looked deep into his eyes, which for a second grew purple like hers. He lowered his blade a little, allowing her to grab the blade and stroke it with her index finger.
"You seem so lonely," The woman continued, stroking the blade. Argus watched as the metal crumbled like rust, despite it being made of silver. She had magical powers that Argus had never seen before. "Wouldn't you want company on the road?"
"I..." Argus stuttered, he tried to speak, but couldn't find the words to do so. He couldn't break himself from the gaze of the woman, and watched as her eyes glowed again, making his aqua eyes glow the same colour as hers for a moment again. He suddenly jerked upright, his body seemingly not his own. "Yes, I would like that."
"I can give you anything you desire, Argus." The woman explaining, reaching him and stroking his face. Argus could do nothing but look onward as she did it, not taking his eyes off of the woman's. "Tell me, what is your greatest desire?"
"To..To be with you, Milady." Argus replied, his voice seemingly not his own. His conscious new something, he knew he had been enchanted, ensorcelled, hypnotized by this being, this creature. The Woman smiled and drew herself away from him, seemingly readying herself for something.
"Very well," The woman said, flexing her muscles, which shook her clothing and made Argus, despite his enchantment, smile. "This will take but a moment, close your eyes, My dearest."
As she prepared to possess him, Argus broke the enchantment for one second and managed to swing his blade, cutting the creature across the chest. It screamed and sent him flying backwards, and that was when he awoke from his dream.
Argus' head snapped backwards, almost hitting his head on the oak tree behind him. He sighed and rubbed his hands across his face. He had not an ideal life, he was being chased by Felyan Assassins because their Queen wanted him as another mindless puppet of hers, ready to command his excellent hunting and swordfight skills for her own evil benefit, and had been chosen by a Demon, a Greed Demon at that, to become it's thrall, it's vessel into the mortal world. Although being a White-Wolf meant he had increased dexterity, will and magical abilities, it left him open to be invaded by demons in his most vulnerable place, his dreams. The Demon that desired him, that had chosen him, visited him every night since he took the tests of the Farkas, and he knew he could not outrun it for that long. It made his dreams feel so real, so lucid and vivid, and that was disturbing to him. He slithered out of the shade of the oak tree, and look upon the daylight, although the shadow of Mount Haumond deflected some of the sun's rays, enough got through to make it day. He drew some water from his pack and doused his campfire so that the embers would not cause a forest fire, and took a few minutes to pack up his equipment and continue on his way, his bags and swords feeling as they should, not more heavier than they were in the dream realm.
