I'M GONNA MARRY THE NIGHT...RAY *OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ*

Oww... that hurt. At least his left arm wasn't bleeding as much now. Cursing inwardly, he peeked from behind the half destroyed wall, only to confirm those creatures were looking for him.

One... three... four. Four of them. And they were between him and what seemed like a path into the forest. He frowned deeply. There was no cover on the way, and the creatures would surely find him as soon as he moved from there.

Tch... where's Leo when I need him?!

He had no other choice. If this worked, he would confuse them and leave them behind... but he had to be quick. They reacted strongly to noise, didn't they? Well, he'd give them noise! His right hand went immediately to the hilt of his sword... He'd give them a good cut down if they managed to reach him.

He took a deep breath, ready to run and circle the old building. All other things in his mind were secondary.

Blood. Pain. Humpty Dumpty. Vincent. Leo. He could think of all that later. Right now he had work to do.

"Want a piece of me? Then come and get it!! I'LL TEACH YOU NOT TO MESS WITH ELLIOT NIGHTRAY!!!!"





*** Next morning...



[There's a wounded Elliot unconcious in a sunny patch in the forest, reason why he's not dead again. Feel free to poke him.]

As far as I know, only the Messengers can talk to them. I have talked to some people who have seen Messengers.

[...well, he knows more than that Atrali girl.] I understand. What can you tell me about the Messengers?

There are three that are known to us. Two of them are complete bastards, and the third one seems to be here for damage control.

So it's them and then us?

Below the Messengers are the Observers. They are the Messenger's hands in this world... Though most of them are prisoners in the same way that we are.

And then there's the Branded, who take care of stores and most of the things that makes this place a real city.
