[Nightmares.

Shadows.

Darkness.

This is what every single individual alive had in this world. It is what starts hate, violence, wars. Some believe that is the key to conquer. To become victorious you must bring out the worse for those who think they are above it. That is of course what the fairy of Tamatobriga, a Celtic region of the world which known within their forest lies the dark fairies, and their leader, King Dysmas believed to be so true.

As the light from the city faded more and more, the clouds capturing the sunlight. And so did the shadows travel down from the streets to the top of skyscrapers. Then from the shadows emerged King Dysmas who only lifted a foot onto the pavement of a roof on the tallest building in town. His intricate coat and long translucent wings that only magically seemed to glitter although light was bare. One could only fear the power he held.

Dysmas lifted his hand toward the ground as the shadows grew bigger and darker as they seem to now start to fully submerge the city. Thick clouds transpire from the depths as it quickly took over through the city streets. Individuals walking through the fog felt a deep sense of dread strike them, the dark magic creeping to engulf their mind and take over their sense of rational thought as it would bring out their worst fears and horrific illusions of nightmares. Deadly screams of terror could be heard as those effected by the fog would collapse or run in terror from their visions. Some causing anger as they acted out in violence.

Giving a wicked smile, Dysmas watched the city go into chaotic terror under his illusion. Knowing how worse it will be for the humans and demons who lived here now. To live in fright after all can bring out the wicked. And the damage this will bring for weeks to come is only the more delicious for when they turn into the Caligino.]

Fair is foul, and foul is fair… Hover through the fog and filthy air…

[Ruby giggled.]

Well I don't mind taking a turn to say that either~

[She nods as she went forward trying to wave her scythe to see through the darkness. It only grew thicker and worse as they went. A shiver ran up her spine as she took in a breath.]

I'm trying to at least hear something, I swear I heard people out here-D-Do you?

[nailed_it]

[Times like these, she sure did wish she could get her hair to glow more on-command as opposed to a side-effect of her abilities. It'd at least help cut a little through the dense fog.

Yang's sticking close to Ruby so she won't lose sight of her, keeping beside and only a step behind. Admittedly most of her focus is centered on her sister as well, far more concerned about her than what they've actually come into this fog to accomplish but she takes a moment to listen and then slowly shakes her head.]

No. It's really quiet out here.

[And it's super creepy.]

[areurobbingme]

[Ruby then heard something like lightning in the distance. She turned as she lifted her head. Trying to indicated the sounds, then finally heard someone crying. She reached to tug on Yang's coat to indicate where it was.]

Okay! I definitely hear someone that way!

[She held Yang's hand this time as she went forward toward the sound. Crying out to the sound. It was sadly indeed a child lost and crying in one of the alley ways.]

D-Don't worry! We're coming! Can you see us??

["Monsters, monsters!!"]

No no, we're not monsters, it's okay! We're here to save you!

[nailed_it]

[Whether Yang heard the cries for herself or not, she'd follow after her sister without protest. The hand-hold didn't even get a second glance, in fact, she was rather glad for it, given the ever thickening fog and the persistent dread in her stomach that she was one wrong move away from losing her sister in this mess.

The sight of the crying child gave her pause, making her swallow hard at the memory of something else and she tentatively took a couple steps forward towards them, speaking as soothingly as she could.]

We're gonna help you find your family and make the monsters go away, I promise.

[areurobbingme]

[The kid sniffed as she ran toward them and clung to Ruby. Holding her arms out to hug her before carrying her, looking to Yang.]

Let's find this kid's parents...

I hope they're not trapped in this fog too.

[nailed_it]

[Yang sticks close-by, giving as warm a smile as she can manage for the child. She'd offer to carry them so that Ruby's hands are free but it seems like the child has sorta latched onto her for now.]

If they're out here, we'll find 'em.

[She takes up a protective position next to her sister and the child as they start out again. The persistent dread is still there, but it's easier to push it aside with both her sister and a small child to look out for, even if only a little.

She sends the kid another smile, inquiring softly.]

What do your parents look like?

[areurobbingme]

[The kid rubbed her eyes as she sniffed. "Daddy has brown eyes, tall a-and blonde... a-and mommy has red hair, shes wearing a real pretty dress. A-Are you sure we can find them, what if the monsters go them?"]

Don't worry, we'll find them. Even in this darkness that's just as thick as chocolate!

[Ruby turned to Yang with a weak smile.]

Won't we?

[nailed_it]

[Yang offers a grin in return that doesn't quite reach her eyes.]

Definitely.

[She glances around. Times like these, she kinda wished she could get her glowing hair trick to work on command instead of just when she was mad.]

Besides, they're probably looking for you right now.
