Samson: The Undead

Flying out of a portal of silver liquid, woosh, demonic wings sprang from the backs of Culus and Mina. Peering down at a pack of ferret-like creatures maneuvering through the tall thin strands of grass, Mina glanced off in the direction of a mountain to the east. "Where are we?" she asked as she surveyed the land.

 "I am unsure but I believe this may be Cleopatra's domain for I was told that her Kingdom's region contains plenty of open land and rivers." Raising a finger the two horned demon bobbed his head. "And I hear the sound of rushing water nearby."

 "If that's the case." Slashing her hand through unleashing blades of wind Mina cut out a patch of land for them to descend to. "There should be some form of civilization nearby." Turning to look at her partner the three eyed Maestro asked. "Do you agree?"

 Rocking his head from side to side Culus replied, "There's a possibility but…" taking in the scents of wildlife all around them the fiend shook his head. "It would be asking for much. Most Ruach's tend to populate away from nature as of late."

 "What you say is true but not all Ruach's follow the same path; some tend to live outside of conformity and live as their natural selves."

 Smiling at his purple and gold other half, Culus eyes gleamed. "Facts and if we run across a pack which demonstrates those traits then we could leave Sarai in their care." Chuckling at the jerk of his partner's head the fiend shook his head. "I know your thoughts but imagine the life the Princess would live. Life is not as it was before the Deluge. Beings as ourselves simply can't parade as we please any longer. The humans either fear us or worship us for they have become lost, manipulated and altered."

 Nodding her head to the truth of Culus' statement Mina sighed, "You speak logic. Those Ruachs have a tendency to fear that they don't understand. So…" pausing the demon head swiveled over to the groaning, awakening Princess.

 "Culus…Mina" rubbing her eyes, the olive skinned Princess yawned and stretched. "Where's mommy and…" blinking open brownish green eyes Sarai's face twisted. "Where…"

 "Grand Rising Young Master." spoke Culus and Mina simultaneously with a bow. "At the moment we are…"

 Trembling at the lips, tears began to roll down her cheeks. "Where's mommy…where's the castle?" she asked aware that they were no longer in Atrium. 

"Sorry Princess but the King and Queen asked us to take you on an expedition."

"I don't want to go on an expedition." yelled Sarai, crying even harder. " I want my Daddy!"

 "Peace Princess we will…" Drooping her shoulders as Sarai commenced to wail even louder, Mina glanced over at her mate. 

 Returning a worried look Culus eyes slid back to the Princess. "How about we play conquest?"

Bursting into a hollering rage flames began to flare from the Princess slapping against the bubble of energy that enveloped her. "I want my Daddy! I want my Mommy!"

 "Calm yourself Princess." spoke Mina. 

Flailing in the air Sarai began to chant, "I want my daddy, I want my mommy." over and over becoming louder by second.

"Calm yourself Princess or you will…" turning her head and throwing up her arm, bing, obsidian claws struck Mina'scale armor. Woosh, deflecting the strike with her forearm the demon leaped several yards back distancing herself.

 "Let her go!" hollered Samson as he fell to all fours.

Staring at the flames flaring out of Samson and his aura, brought a smile to Culus face. "It seems we have found what we sought." Tossing a glance at his associate, Culus flexed his golden red wings. "It's time we take our leave."

 "And Sarai" Mina asked telepathically.

"Leave her, we shall keep an eye on her from the shadows." 

 Nodding Mina unfurled purplish pink wings.

 Focusing his attention on Mina and his other senses on Culus, Samson pressed his back legs into the ground ready to launch an attack when both demons took to the skies departing from the scene. Continuing to growl even when the fiends were out of sight the SouBei kept up his defenses until his nose told him they were miles away.

 Grrrr, lifting his head at the sound of a growl, Tecto asked his sister. "Are you alright?"

"Nooo" groaned Nutri. "I must eat." Releasing her stomach, SouBei leaped to her feet. "I will eat." Staring greedily at a band of slave traders the Inkan hazel eyes went red. 

 "Nutri…" shouted Tecto reaching out for his sister. "...wait." Leaping off the hill without hesitation Nutri fleeted across the field separating them from her meal. Rubbing the bridge of his nose with a sigh Tecto, shook his head. "JunBee it seems that the assault has commenced." Rising to his feet with a smirk, JunBee eyes burned red and his body morphed to that of a hyena while maintaining its humanoid form. "Spare one of the traders for interrogation." 

 "Hmm…" Peeking up from his flask a smile stretched across one of the slave traders. "What do we have here?" Rising from the log he sat on, the man raised his container. "It seems that the gods have presented us with a gift for our diligent efforts."

Taking a gander at the curvaceous woman, a second bandit stood up and took a swig out of his flask. "Thank the gods for providing us such a fine specimen. I'm sure she will fetch a hefty price but first. " Strolling over to their guest and rubbing her face with a maniacal laugh, schwick. "Wha…" eyes bulging out the man screamed to the top of his lungs, "my hand." Shing, leaping to their feet the rest of the caravan drew their swords. "Ahhh get her off me."

 "Ha, he, he, he."

"What's that?" huddling together back to back, the rest of the men peered into the darkness around them.

 Woosh, "ahhh!"

 "What…what…" Trembling with fear as one of their comrades was snatched out of the group and carried away, toof, one of the bandits dropped his weapon and took off screaming into the forest.

 "Traitor…" Critch, critch, critch, taking a step back at the crunching of bones in the distance the rest of the band steeled themselves for the worst.

 "Don't just stand there…" hollered another mercenary taking a step forth sword raised. "...kill…" taking a blow to the chest he flew across the camp and into a cage.

 "You're coming with me." Knocking the man unconscious, Tecto 's eyes slid up to the cowering prisoners, yeont, he cut the bars open with a blade of lightning. "Run." he told them before turning to his sister and JunBee standing in front of the fire covered in blood.

Boop. Hopping up at the sound of the cabin door shutting Samson spun around with excitement. "Pealim" running to Abbott the SouBei gave him a hug. "You're back."

 Embracing his Abhah, Abbott The Omega eyes roamed over to the green and geometric mat in the middle of the room. "Now who do we have here?"

 "I am Sarai The Warrior Princess."

"Pleasure to meet you Sarai The Warrior Princess, I am Abbott The Omega."

"Haaa" Sucking in air Sarai 's jaw dropped. "My mama and papa told me stories about you."

 Chuckling Abbott replied, "I guess my reputation exceeds me. Who are your parents?"

"Regina The Devil Drake and Rex The Wyvere."

 Practically dropping the golden satchel he held, The Omega stared at Sarai in shock. "What are you doing so far from the Kingdom."

 "Culus and Mina brought me on an expedition but Samson scared them away." 

Narrowing his eyes at the statement Abbott thought, "Something must truly be amiss for those two to leave the princess." Glancing at Samson then placing his attention back on Sarai he told her. "In that case I will proudly accept you in my care until Culus and Mina return."
