Late in the night...
Kyune prowled through the forest, blood dripping from his jaws. He heard the scolding of a squirrel, and shot it a deathly look. It fell silent and dropped from the trees, dead. Dead of fear. He prowled along, he could smell two powerful groups. One contained Veloc and Icewing, the other was just Arya. Who was behind the shield? Now he sniffed for the barrier, knowing it's peculiar, subtle scent. He sniffed for a shield around Veloc and Icewing first, and found it there. He didn't even bother to look for one around Arya, and was soon running her way.
He intercepted her near the edge of the forest, and leaped, howling with his jaws agape. He realized too late that a fragment of the shield had followed her. The second he got within ten feet of her, he was hit with the full force of Kyune's, the real Kyune's, powers. They slammed into him, and he flew back through the trees. The landing didn't hurt, he felt no pain. His bones mended themselves, snapping together again like a jigsaw puzzle. Soon he was on the prowl again. This time he head for Icewing And Veloc. He couldn't harm them, their shield was at least as powerful as Arya's. But he had something to say.
He reached their shield to find both dozing. He howled and they snapped awake. "Let me in." He said. "Let me in, so I can have my power. Let me in, and I will spare you on the sixth night."
He saw the shocked look on Veloc's face and laughed.
"I have been growing more powerful. Kyune, the old fool, hasn't realized it. On the sixth night, I will be able to rip that shield to shreds. If you let me in, I won't kill you." The shadows that surrounded him flared up, and even within the shield Veloc could feel the dread, feel the death.
Veloc shook his head. "Demon, I sense your power, but I will not let you in. If you got his powers..."
Kyune's shadows flared up again. "I can still kill you from here!" He roared, and then the shadows crept in. Veloc tried to leap back, but they caught hold of his leg. They pinned him there, and began to envelope his body. He felt it creep up, bringing with it iminent death.
All went black.
He awoke again in the morning, surprised to be alive. The shield must have reached out and sent him on his way. He was shaken and deathly pale when he rose. When did he grow so powerful? He now had no doubt that he would be able to break the shield on the sixth night... maybe even the fifth. It didn't take him long to figure it out. It was caused by the recent death of the Oni King. When one great evil leaves the world, another either enters or rises in power.
If you wish to live, I have a few life rules for you:
1. Don't anger a dragon.
2. listen to rule 1.
3. Don't anger me. Trust me, there are less gruesome ways to die.
