#dranz

“Captain!!” - Howl, about to dunk Seven into a barrel of sea slugs.

Fangar is having a day.

Holly is ready to cook for the holidays!

Unfortunately, Dranz has already ran off with some of the cookies.

Introducing more of my original characters, this time Seven and his crew! Thank you to @vederlicht​ for wanting to know more about them! <3

Seven Seacat Captain of the Silent Pirates Order Captain of the Pirate Alliance Adult male, Yata (basically a cat!)

To Seven, his crew is his family and he'll do his best to make sure they're happy and well supported. Seven's jovial and often mistaken as nonchalant attitude can melt away in a moment to reveal a sharp edge honed from experience and a dangerous wit if his crew or ship are threatened.

Bruce Trueblade First mate Resigned Royal Guard (after being saved by Seven) Adult male, Yata/Yara mix (basically a bigger cat)

Having grown up inspired to be a guard to help people, Bruce probably wouldn't have guessed he'd find it possible to help more people as a pirate. Bruce is basically the father of the crew, level headed and responsible. Even if he sometimes feels like he's surrounded by kids.

Capper Cassler Cook Runaway Royal Daughter Adult female, Yata/Yara mix

Having caught Seven and Bruce breaking into her father's office in their seaside mansion, Capper bartered for a place on the ship. She brought them the information they would have had to upturn her father's office to find, and they welcomed her as the ship's cook. Capper is basically the mother of the crew, and helps bring a warmth to the ship that makes the whole place feels more like home.

Tenry Lake Doctor / Bookkeeper Rogue Doctor Adult male, Levet

After being told too many times who he can and can not treat by those he worked for, Tenry left his office (having stolen all his equipment, books, medicine, his favorite music--). He traveled between ports, setting up temporary clinics where he could. One of his patients, Muri, left his care suddenly to see a new ship in port and he followed. After meeting with Seven and seeing them without a ship's doctor... he decided to join.

Muri Gren Shipwright Disowned apprentice Adult female, Perlla Resting in the care of Tenry's temporary office after a bloody dispute with her last employer and mentor, Muri finally perked up again when she heard a new ship design appeared in port. Having recognized some of the descriptions as work of the old ship building masters, Muri broke out of the clinic and raced to see the ship. She was distraught to see they had no shipwright to maintain things and would have threatened Seven to let her do so - if he hadn't asked her to join their crew first. Howl Rivers Guard(?) / Lookout Moon Chief Adult female, Yata Howl rescued Seven when a bad storm had washed him overboard and and he turned up on the shores of her home continent. Having led her people for many years now along side her sister, the Sun Chief, Howl has been concerned about the growing changes they've seen from the outside world. Seven was just some of the many concerning things that had washed ashore lately. Seeing it as a chance to evaluate the state of the world outside her home, Howl told Seven he could repay her by letting her join them on their travels.

Dranz Dancer Sharp Shot / Lookout Lost Puppy(cat) Adult male, Flen (Yata/Jarkle. He's basically a forever puppy+kitten! Tail wags and purrs, easily entertained and easily in trouble.)

Dranz really didn't plan on becoming a pirate. He also didn't really plan on his only relative leading him up onto a seaside cliff, with the promise of a picnic, only to push him off of it! Well, the sea was mercifully calm, and thankfully a certain ship was fishing for supplies near by. Having a new family in Seven's crew was a very welcome change in Dranz's life, and he learned the ship's cannons from Bruce - quickly surpassing his mentor and taking on the roll as the ship's sharp shot and gunpowder keeper. He is the youngest of the crew.

Bonus!

InktORBer Day 08. Fishing

Bruce thought having Dranz help them fish would gain them some peace and some extra food for the ship. He was right on at least one of these.

Inktober 2018 - Day 11 - Candy

Seven with some of his crew discover a new sort of candy and some slight sweets stealing occurs! 

Inktober 2018 - Day 19 - Webs

Dranz forgot that the abandoned building they were in was full of cobwebs the moment he found treasure. Something he was immediately reminded of.

Setting: After finding out Sin convinced Airoe to leave the forest, Dranz confronts her.

Once they were far enough away from the cave, Dranz stopped and looked at Sin. "Why did you tell him to go into town?" He snapped. I didn't tell him to go into town, I told him to leave the forest. What he did once he was out was completely up to him. Sin said, scoffing. He growled some. "Fine. Why did you tell him to do that?" I felt like it. She growled back. I don't see why you're so mad. He's perfectly fine isn't he? She said and crossed her arms. I just told him to go exploring if he wanted to get Crow off his back. Dranz growled, crossing his arms. "So you put him in the position to run into something more dangerous than Crow is right now?" Oh.... You mean like you?... Sin stated, finding his question rather contradictory. Who else would he run into this close to your territory? "The townspeople for one." he snapped. "They're probably waiting to make sure I won't show up right away before they decide to kill him." I think you're just paranoid. She stated. Dranz snarled some. He wasn't paranoid. "Maybe I should just stick you some place where you can't cause this sort of trouble." Sin frowned and her ears bent back. What more trouble could I cause? You already told him not to listen to me and as far as I can tell I can't do much else besides bug you. He thought about this and growled some, mentally telling Miran to watch Sin more closely. "I could just get rid of the town. That would fix things quite a bit." For what? Just talking to Airoe? Do you really think Airoe would like it if he'd find out you destroyed the town if they had been nice to him? She said. "He won't find out if he doesn’t try to go back will he?" Dranz stated. "Who are you talking to dad?" Crow asked, having finally woken up. Sin was about to reply when Crow suddenly spoke, causing her to jump, startled. Geez. "No one you have to worry about." Dranz stated, still agitated from what Sin had done. "Just go back to bed." "What town are you going to get rid of?" Crow pressed, curiosity getting the better of him, although his ears did flick back in fear. You should change his name to Creep. He certainly does it a lot. Sin said. Shut it, you. He thought at her. "I told you to go back to bed. That wasn't a suggestion." Dranz pressed, causing Crow to shift some and skulk back to the cave. He hadn't really ever seen his father this angry before. Sin growled back at Dranz. Go punch some rocks instead of taking your anger out on everyone else. She suggested. Dranz started heading in the direction of town. "I'd rather take it out on that town." Sure, go take it out on a town. Just don't expect me to help. She scoffed. "Convince me not to when I get there and I might reconsider." Dranz snarled, taking flight since it would go faster. As if on cue, Miran appeared. Do you really want to start this now? Scram. Sin snapped at Miran. She was still bothered by the fact that Miran could hurt her.

Aren't I doing what you can't? Miran answered, somewhat smug before returning his attention to Dranz. I thought you were going to start elsewhere. Somewhere farther away. She scowled and looked away. She wasn't sure what Miran was going on about Dranz starting elsewhere. "What Miran means is that I planned on taking over Espkiel again someplace else and being..." Not a bastard. Miran put forward, knowing he wouldn't get reprimanded for it. "That. And if I hadn't had someone come and take away most of my spirits I would have been finished by now and Eteth would have stopped being stone." And now I'm stuck with you and neither of us know what the hell happened to Eteth. Brilliant. Sin scoffed. Your plans are obviously foolproof. She said sarcastically. "Maybe I'll destroy two tonight." Dranz snapped, growling. "Just to get a headstart." Why don't you just blow up the whole planet while you're at it. Destruction is obviously the answer to everything. Sin said sarcastically. It's not like you'll make a mistake, get killed, and have to be called Dranzil again is it? Certainly there aren't other people out there you have to worry about besides me that could be looking to get your head as revenge. By the way, did you remember to go and kill Snaric by any chance?

"Did you honestly think I'd forget?" Dranz snapped. Oh, as often as Snaric came back he would kill him. He would tear him apart. "And I don't remember there being anything saying there should be order in chaos. Besides, why would I kill everyone? I wouldn't have anyone to rule over." He was ignoring the jab at him she had made. Oh well, you remember he was the one who killed you the first time right? So you'd stay dead for a while? Well let's say he came back, collected some 'friends', grabbed some sciency gadgets, and then came to kill you again. Suppose, he set a trap to get you caught in dragonsbane? Did you think of that? Do you think ahead at all? She said. If you could collect people's souls like you did with mine, why the hell didn't you do that with Snaric? Would've saved you a lot of trouble don't you think? Why? Why? You think I want Opal having to see him everyday? Think I wanted to see him everyday? Dranz snarled mentally as he approached the town and landed. Aw, I didn't know you wanted to see me everyday. I didn't think you cared. Sin said sarcastically. What about that locking away bit you mentioned? You can do that right? You could've done that to him couldn't you? All that means is he'd be stuck in my head to annoy me everyday, much like you're doing now. Yes, you're moderately more tolerable then he is. The town seemed to have noticed that Dranz had arrived and many of the people that had been around the fire were scrambling for weapons, while others ran to sound an alert. Friends close and enemies closer huh? Sin said. She frowned some as she looked at the town. She must have jinxed herself when she had long ago told her spirits she didn't want to be like Dranz... and now she was stuck with him as a spirit. Have you spoken with Opal about you becoming a tyrant again? Or does she not care since she's dark too? She gonna be your Queen or something? She doesn't know. I don't plan on being a tyrant this time. I'll be sent back to chaos if I do. Dranz watched them scramble for a bit before summoning his glaive. Miran watched, wondering what he really planned on doing. Then what are you going to be? Nicer? Because destroying towns doesn't seem very nice. Sin stated. People already fear you, so I don't see how destroying towns and taking over Espkiel again isn't being a tyrant. As the rag tag group of defenders approached Dranz he raised his weapon...and then dropped it. "I think you all know I could wipe you out. I could get rid of this town before you even realized it. But I'm not here for that. I'm here for a more...peaceful takeover." The townsfolk just stared, confused, many gripping their makeshift weapons even tighter. "So...you aren't going to skewer me?" Piped up one, who was shaking rather hard. "Is there a reason I should?" Dranz quipped, narrowing his eyes. Sin laughed. Really? I would say something but I'm sure that would earn me a punch from Miran or something. She said. She was rather amused that Dranz was actually trying a peaceful route. She wasn't sure if Dranz had changed from what he had gone through, time being with Opal, or maybe all of the above. Dranz just saying 'peace' was hilarious in itself. Dranz mentally growled at her. "All I want is for you all to swear fealty to me." Some, seeing that he was serious, were trying not sure if they should laugh or if he would hurt them as a result. "Fine." One of the men stated. "So long as you don't destroy us and let us continue on under the same sort of government we'll swear fealty. We don't want you oppressing us, see?" Dranz surveyed them, his eyes flashing red for a moment. "I can promise I won't destroy your town. I'm certainly not going to kill you if you agree." Not much of a choice is it? They either agree or be killed. You seem to like making those types of deals. Sin said. "I suppose we don't have much of a choice then. Fine." The man negotiating dropped his weapon and took a knee, those that were awake and could see did the same. Is there another way? Dranz asked, Miran seeming just as confused. You could find a different way to win them over than using fear and their lives you know. You don't have to make everything so one sided. Sin said. Doing this just makes them join you because they're afraid, not because they want to. Do you really want to rule over a bunch of cowards instead of people who are actually loyal? She asked. She didn't even know why she was discussing this. She didn't even want him ruling Espkiel.

I can't have both? Dranz asked, signaling them all to stand up. "I'd also appreciate it if you ignored my son should he show up again." At that most tensed but seemed relieved they weren't going to be killed as a result. If you rule a bunch of cowards, sooner or later someone will be brave and try to get rid of you. How do these people benefit from being ruled by you? How do you benefit ruling them? Sin said. Miran looked over at Sin. He wasn't sure if he should interrupt or not, since technically part of their jobs as spirits was to give Dranz advice on these sort of things. Dranz spread his wings and took off, heading back towards the cave. Is a ruler meant to benefit from those hes ruling? And I know I said there isn't order in chaos, but with the kind people create there has to be some sort. I tried to fix that last time and clearly I did something wrong. Well, why do you want to rule them if you're not getting something from it? Seems kind of silly don't you think? As for what you could offer them, you could offer protection I guess... though I'm not sure what else they have to fear besides you. Sin said. If I... She trailed off as she realized what she was doing and decided to shut up. Dranz smirked some. If you what? If you were me? Were you about to say what you would do? No! Nevermind. I wasn't saying anything. She snapped. What were you going to say? He pestered, Miran stating the same thing at the same time. Nothing. Sin growled and glared at them. You were going to say something. Dranz pressed, circling to land and yawning some. 

Setting: After having his spirits taken, Dranz sets a plan in motion to get back at Sin.

Sin was in the courtyard, staying close to the stone Eteth as she waited for him to return to normal. She didn't know when he'd return to normal, but she knew if it took too long she was going to use all her energy in finding out how to break the spell. Armis had been threatened enough by Dranz to do something he really didn't want to. And so he found himself at the mage's home again, stepping into the courtyard. He was surprised to see Sin so quickly, but as far as he could tell, Dranz's plan was still on. "Hello, Sin." She frowned when she saw Armis. "What do you want? If you're looking for Kelazi, she's not here." She said as her ears bent back. "I know where she is if I need to find her." He sneered, pulling his lute off of his back. "I'm just hear to talk, you see." Sin glared at him. "Just talk? I doubt that." She growled. "And do you really know where she is?" She asked. "Does it really matter if I do or don't?" Armis asked, strumming a chord. "I see you managed to get the mage king turned to stone again." Her tail bristled and she growled at him. "It wasn't my fault." She snapped. "And don't even try your stupid hypnotizing on me." She growled, baring her teeth at him. "Why? It wouldn't work on you?" He answered, starting to sing, testing her. "I doubt that." Sin snarled and sent a spell to explode the air in front of him. "Don't test me." She snapped. She was bothered by hypnotizing since the time she was stuck guarding the Wizard's town and Darez hypnotized her. She could fight it, but it was a lot of effort and energy that she could otherwise use for fighting or using spells. Armis stumbled backwards when the air in front of him exploded. He regained his composure quickly enought, though. "Test you?" He asked, starting to sing again. "Is this considered a test? If it is come hit me yourself." Sin growled at him. She didn't want to go hit him since he'd probably pull something and not to mention he was trying to hypnotize her. She shook her head before sending another explosion spell at him. "Get out of here." She snapped. This time Armis was prepared and jumped to the side, continuing to sing. "Don't you like my song?" She growled as her ears flattened against her head. "I'm warning you. Leave." She snapped. "If you think Dranz is scary. He's afraid of me, so think about that for a moment before you decide to continue listening to him." She growled. Although the threat caught his attention, the bard had already gotten this far and knew either way he was going to suffer. He decided he'd rather get it over with sooner rather than later. "Won't you come over here and talk to me." He sang, instilling more of his power into it. Sin snarled and shook her head as she fought the hypnotism. She kept her feet firmly planted where she stood, not letting herself step any closer. "Leave." She snarled before sending a fireball spell at him. He dodged aside, glaring at her. "You're so angry, but you won't set a claw on me. That's rude, you should come closer." "I'm fine right here." She snapped although her hands flexed. "Go away." She growled before remembering something. She paused before sending a spell to try and silence him. It wasn't the kind of spell he could dodge, and Armis glared as he found himself silenced. Irate, he ignored it and continued to play on his lute, hoping to annoy her enough to attack him that way. Sin let out a sigh when he was silenced, relieved that it worked. She then frowned when he continued to play on his lute and she crossed her arms. "Unless you want me to break it, I suggest you stop. I can easily reach it from here with a spell." She growled. Armis sneered, continuing and taking a step forward. If she did, then he would just have to use the sword on him. She growled and stepped back before sending another explosive spell at him, trying to knock his instrument out of his hands. Armis held on tight, glaring as she tried to knock it out of his hands and continuing to play regardless. He wasn't going to back down. Sin glared back at him before sending a cutting spell at his instrument. He glared as he dropped his instrument and drew his blade instead, walking towards her. She was startled when he drew a blade. Her ears bent back and she backed up when he started walking towards her. She growled before sending another explosion spell at him to try and knock him down. He dodged, his eyes flashing golden. The plan was the last thing on his mind, just then. He would rather kill her instead. Sin sent an immobilization spell at him as she continued to try and keep her distance from him. He struggled forward, trying to slash through the immobilization spell. She frowned before using an explosion spell to try and get the blade out of his hand. "Go away." She snapped. He winced but held onto his sword, stepping forward again. He had given her warning enough. Sin snarled at him and backed up. Again she tried to knock his sword out of his hand. It was obvious she was trying to get rid of him without killing him or hurting him severely, but it wasn't working too well. She growled before changing to her dragon form and roaring at him, hoping to scare him off. He stepped back, somewhat shaken. He was jolted back to the reality, to the plan. He had to get away from where Eteth was so that Dranz could take over. Sin didn't step toward him, instead just stood where she was and spread her wings, snarling at him. She then paused and glanced at Eteth just to make sure that Armis wasn't just distracting her, though she was distracting herself by paying attention to stone Eteth. Armis immediately ducked in and slashed at her foreleg before jumping back. He had to get her away and fast, especially since she seemed to be catching on. She snarled and snapped at Armis when he slashed at her foreleg, but continued to stay firmly in place. Even when she had been backing away, she had been staying close to Eteth. She growled, baring her teeth at Armis and thumped her tail on the ground in agitation. "Go tell Dranz to come fight me instead of being a coward and sending a fool to do his dirty work." She growled. Armis silently mocked her, brandishing his sword and threatening her. He dared her to come closer. Sin glared at him but remained where she was, not falling for his taunting. She did breath fire at him though. He dodged, continuing to silently mock her. He moved closer again, preparing to attack her. She hissed at him when he moved closer again. When he got too close, she immediately snapped at him, trying to clamp onto him. He dodged, slashing at her nose when she did that. He knew she would get angry enough to chase him eventually. Sin cringed when he slashed her nose and she pawed at her nose. Snarling, she snapped at him again, trying to get a hold of him. Armis let out a silent laugh as he dodged again, slashing at her face again as he did so. He knew he had to be careful or he would get hit, but he was trying to seem as overtly cocky as possible. She snarled and shook her head when he hit her face again. She growled, glaring at him, but then paused and sat down, realizing she was getting too angry. She needed to calm down as she didn't want to get enraged or end up killing anyone. She let out an annoyed sigh before continuing to glare at Armis. "Go ahead and hit me. I don't care." She growled. He scowled, before taking her up on that offer and stepping closer, slashing at her side. Sin cringed and dug her talons into the ground when he slashed at her side. She growled before snapping at him, but otherwise didn't move. Armis grinned, sidestepping and hitting her again. She cringed when she was hit again. She growled and blew smoke at him in annoyance. If anything, he was like an annoying horse fly to her at the moment. She was doing her best to remain where she was and not get angry. He looked at her, glaring and jumping up to her back. If he had his voice back he would warn her of what his plan was just then, but since he didn't he hoped it would be a surprise. Sin was startled when he got onto her back. She snarled at him and immediately tried to snap at him to try and get him off. "Get off." She snarled. He fought from being thrown off, digging his sword into her back for a grip. "This is taking rather long." Dranz stated from his position on a wall.   She snarled when Armis dug his sword into her back. She snapped at him and kept trying to get him off. She was startled when she heard Dranz and looked over to see him on a wall. She growled and glared at him, getting distracted by him for a moment and forgetting Armis on her back. Armis moved his blade to her wing, grinning. "A wing for a wing." Dranz stated, jumping down. "I wonder how you'll handle yours." Sin cringed when Armis moved his blade to her wing. Hearing what Dranz said, she snarled and tried to get Armis off her back again. "Get off!" She snarled at Armis. Armis adjusted his blade so that if he fell he would take her wing with him. Dranz moved towards them, going to walk around so he would get a better shot at Eteth. The moving of the blade inside her was starting to freak her out. She scraped at the ground with her talons, trying to ignore the blade. When she saw Dranz move toward them. She snarled and immediately moved to stand between Eteth and Dranz. "Go away." She snapped at Dranz. "I would have stayed away if you hadn't sent a certain dog after me." Dranz snapped back. When she moved, Armis pressed his blade even closer towards her wings. "I have no idea what you're talking about." Sin huffed, playing dumb. "It's not my fault you're harboring spirits." She growled. She cringed when Armis moved the blade again and she tried to ignore the pain and feeling. "Leave Eteth alone." She hissed, baring her teeth at Dranz. "Why? I'm short several spirits. I'm sure he would be more than willing to take their place if I confuse him enough." Dranz stated, walking closer again.   Sin immediately snapped at Dranz when he walked closer. She was now frightened, not just for Eteth's sake, but for her own as well. She couldn't imagine being stuck as one of Dranz's spirits especially when being stuck with his others. She noticed she was very tense now and she quickly tried to calm down, not wanting Dranz to see her fright. She hadn't even known that it was possible for Dranz to take other people as spirits besides the ones from the forests. "...You... can get plenty from the forest that you got the other ones. There's no reason for you to take.. him." She snapped. "Oh sure, I still have the key spirit from that forest." Dranz stated, noticing how nervous she was. "But if I went back there he would only warn the others what happened. I wouldn't be able to convince any to come with me. They'd all be too frightened of meeting the same fate."  He paused, "Do you know where the spirits of mages go before they go to the gray realm? Where they go for good if they aren't buried properly?" "Couldn't you just take the ones Li has?" Sin said, completely forgetting Armis was on her back. She shifted some. "....Exile forest?" She guessed. She didn't know as she hadn't gone far enough into death to find out. "Her spirits won't follow me." Dranz stated. "And they pass into chaos. My fathers realm and soon to be my realm. There are certain things I'm not allowed to do, but wouldn't you know it, no one told me I couldn't take the spirits that were lost there. Or the ones heading there." Sin shifted some nervously. "Couldn't you get Opal to convince the spirits to go to you?" She asked, trying to find some way to deter him from taking Eteth.. or herself if he thought of it. Just continuing to try to convince him out of it might make him realize the idea was frightening to her, but she hoped he would just think she was only afraid for Eteth. "...And couldn't Opal help you find new spirit places?" "Are you afraid of being alone?" Dranz asked, looking at her as he continued to move towards Eteth, Armis pressing his sword down harder. That was part of it, but she knew if she said anything, he'd be able to tell there was more to it. "..." She decided to answer with silence and hoped he wouldn't press. She snarled when he moved closer to Eteth and she quickly moved in his way, cringing as Armis pressed his sword down harder. "You are. That's funny." Dranz grinnned, signaling Armis who finished cutting through her wing with his sword. "Don't worry. I can take you too if you want. Then you can always be with him. I'm sure you'd love that." Sin hissed in pain when her wing was separated from her and she dug her talons into the ground. Her eyes then widened when Dranz said he'd take her too and she tensed up again. She snarled and tried to attack Dranz. He dodged, grinning. "See? I told you you were frightened." When he dodged, Sin lost her balance from only having one wing and fell down. She shook her head before snarling at Dranz and trying to attack him again. Since she was so focused on Dranz, she completely forgot Armis and the silencing spell she had on him broke. Armis fell off her back when she lost her balance and scowled, picking up his sword and moving towards her. He would cut off her tail this time. Dranz grinned, taking flight to head back towards Eteth again. Sin scowled when Dranz took flight, going out of her reach. She tried to follow him to block him from Eteth, not noticing Armis moving towards her. Armis grinned, jabbing towards her with his sword to try and distract her. Sin hissed when she was jabbed with the sword. She glared at Armis before swiping at him to try and knock him out of the way before going to go back to focusing on Dranz. Armis stumbled backwards, scowling and going to retaliate again. Dranz had landed next to Eteth, and glared at her as he grabbed hold of the stone head. "You just couldn't leave me alone. How unfortunate for you and Eteth." "No! Leave him alone!" She roared as she charged at Dranz, ignoring Armis again. Dranz immediately ducked behind Eteth. "What was that?" Armis rushed forward to stab her in her other side, scowling. He hated being silent. Clearly he hadn’t realized the spell had broken yet.   "Leave him alone! He hasn't done anything to you!" Sin snarled at Dranz before cringing when Armis stabbed her. She snarled at Armis and tried to bat him away. Armis jumped back, glaring at her. "All the more saddening, then." He snapped, raking his claws against the stone. "Stop it!" She roared and tried to bite Dranz to try and get him to stop. Dranz ducked again. "If your not careful, you'll kill him for me." Seeing that he wasn't really needed, Armis stepped back, and started to clean his sword. Sin stopped and snarled at Dranz. "If you don't leave him alone, I'll go kill Opal." She threatened. It wasn't much of a threat though. She probably couldn't get to Opal in the state she was in and how much blood she already lost. "You'll die before you get there." He mocked, though it clearly angered him a great deal as he moved his arm to Eteth's shoulder. "Did you know he can still hear everything? And feel pain?" She snarled at him before frowning and looking down when he said Eteth could still hear and feel pain. She dug her talons into the ground and glared at Dranz. "Get away from him!" She snarled and tried to use the shocking spell on Dranz. She didn't think it'd work if he still had a spirit with him. The spirit absorbed most of the spell, but Dranz winced at what did get through. "That wasn't particularly nice." He stated, moving to break off Eteth's arm. Sin snarled at Dranz before quickly sending an immobilization as strong as she could manage at Dranz when he moved to break off Eteth's arm, hoping to stop him. Dranz slowed down as he fought off the part of the spell that got through to him. He snarled, digging his claws in. "Stop it!" She snarled, stalking closer to Dranz as she bared her teeth at him. She sent another shock at him, just as strong as the immobilization. Dranz snarled again, before going rigid. He couldn't do much frozen and one spirit wasn't enough to defend him. "I'll take both your spirits to guard me." He snapped. Armis saw what was happening and quickly rushed forward, this time aiming a fatal blow at Sin. Since all her focus was on Dranz, Sin did not notice Armis until it was too late. Her eyes went wide, startled at being struck, and she coughed. She struggled to stay standing, but slumped down to the ground as her vision started to fade to black. She struggled, trying to stay alive as fear struck her at the thought of being Dranz's spirit slave. She didn't want to be controlled by him. Dranz laughed some as the spell broke and he immediately tore apart the stone form of Eteth. "I look forward to keeping you both." She watched in distress as Dranz tore Eteth apart while she laid there helpless and dying. Her vision went to black as her life left her. When she opened her eyes again, she quickly looked around as she was tense, afraid of Dranz taking her and Eteth to be his spirits. Dranz appeared in front of her instead of Cadvasus, though Eteth didn't seem to be around, something that surprised Dranz just as much. He looked similar to when he had disguised himself, but still wore the same armor he usually did. "Are you ready to come with me?" He asked, regaining his composure. Sin was confused by the fact that Eteth wasn't there. He had to have been in the stone right? When Dranz appeared in front of her, her tail bristled and her ears bent back. "No." She snarled and immediately went to run away. The dark spirit Dranz had been able to keep appeared in front of her. "Why are you so eager to be off to the grey realms?" She stopped and looked between the two of them as she shifted nervously. "I'm not. But I don't want to be controlled by him either." She said and tried to get away from both of them. "Who said anything about him controlling you?" The spirit asked, looking at Dranz. "I don't control the spirits that travel with me." Dranz stated. Sin hesitated and fidgeted. "I don't care. I don't want to be used for anything nor do I want to be around him constantly." She said. She didn't want Dranz to have his hands on her power. Plus, she wasn't sure about her chances of coming back to life if she was stuck to Dranz. "I told you she wouldn't be any fun." The spirit stated, watching her. "I guess she'll just have to wait until Caosrivel can figure out what to do with her soul." He stated, shrugging. "There's no telling how long that might take, and by then she could be assimilated into the stream. Then it won't matter." Sin frowned and fidgeted. She couldn't tell if they were lying or telling the truth or if they were saying these things just to convince her to join. She then looked at the spirit warily. Dranz said he didn't control the spirits, but that didn't mean another spirit couldn't control a spirit... and this one probably wasn't too happy about her sending Rosey to take the other spirits either. She glared at Dranz. "Someone will revive me." She snapped. "If their spell can find you." Dranz replied calmly, looking at her. "And even then...it doesn't matter, does it?" He glanced at the spirit.
