"This should be enough for the crescendo."
Ui set the cass on the table, making it skid across it. It hit a blurry chest, halting its progress. Ethn glanced at his brother, seeing the slits his eyes took at who he threw the cass at. Ui smirked, seeing them take the case, turning it around to open it. The money illuminated under the light in the room was bright yellow, showing the amount of money they requested before them, covered in blood, lying in the case, they counted the amount scanning over it, then made a small hum, slamming it shut and pushed it to their partner, hitting their arm, taking the case setting it aside.
"I see you young punks got what your cowardly mother offered,"
Ui glared at him, his hand twitching near his pistol on his side he leaned over the table, his eyes having a not so subtle gold shine in them, worse than his normal color. They stared at Ui, watching the memory of the angel appear in his eyes. Ui gripped his gun, leaning closer to them, hearing Ethn beside him taking a seat his eyes shifting around the room the faint glint of his mother's pride riding in them, Ui scoffed staring daggers at the rugged man,
"Berugingly we did, and mother ordered us, I don't think she would have given to you Tran if she weren't so merciful to you,
'
"Merciful no that call retreating into her estate with her sister as live bait," the person beside man said, leaning on his hand that pressed against the chair arm, Ethn glanced at them his eyes dull but his brother glared at them his head tilted to the other beside them,
"The reason she left is because, mother got what she wanted," Ui hissed, glaring at them, the two didn't flinch at the underlying resentment coming from Ui. One laughed at him, and the other, rolled his eyes. Another one of the prowess tantrums they have been through before. painful for the poor saps who are stuck with them. Worse enough its them,
"Ui enough this is not why we are here for," Ethn interrupted watching his brother mouth open to speak probably to poke at them some more, Ui turned his burning gaze to Ethn his glare did nothing as Ethn pointed at a chair,
"Sit down and let them speak, pass over your token Tran so we can see how serious you and your master is," Ethn spoke callously,
Ui scoffed at him sitting in his chair harshly sitting with his ankle on his knee cap his eyes glaring at the table, the people who sit beside them, he growled out his lips a snare,
"I will but they are over there fucking heads calling out our mother like that"
"Tell me our mother hasn't used our aunt like a meat shield while not looking like you have a consistent stick up your ass,"
Ui turned his head so fast he felt his muscles aching from it, the laughing at him, Ui felt this burning in his chest, he went to open his mouth spat any insult he can muster but Ethn pulled out a small computer drive he flicked it over to Chullain who caught it quickly scanning over it, blood just like over the money,
"Couldnt keep it clean either? Shame it would have been destroyed if you didn't try whipping the blood off," Chullian scoffed his glove, whipping off the rest of it. He caught the icon on the drive, a grin appeared wide, teeth but hungry, he passed it over to Tran, he saw the same icon that seemed to glow in spite, he peered at Chullian laughing, holding onto his chin his mouth a snare and his laughter a bitter cackle that swept through the room, those in attendance stared at him, lost his mind maybe he was mentally laid in the skeptical of it all, he stared at Tran seeing his scanning over the drive,
"You got it from shepherd? That fast without interference from the higher braches?" Tran asked
"It wasn't that hard Shepard or more likely Salvatore is far too trusting of his lower subordinates, thinking they would skin their own for just momentary safety before they were caught in my guns cross fire," Ui admitted his eyes seem to shine recalling the man's blood curdling cry from the shot he landed in his neck, Ui smiled his piercing eyes met Trans.
"Im sure that's our end of the deal now Don won't you finish your side of the dons deal or are you as fickle as the shadows you manipulate?" Ui inquired
The four shift their gazes to the other side of the table, where the shadows melted and catered around the two enforcers, creating a sword that could tear them apart, a shield that could stop them in a moments notice, Don his black eyes looked at the smug son of a bitch Ui, his smile curled hearing Don's slight movement reaching to the table the shadows slide down the table, it was soaked in blood a arm one that they all found to familiar, the arm looked fresh holding onto a familiar gun, Ui, Ehtn, Trans and Chullain, stared at the arm seeing the tattoos that littered it, Chullain gulped knowing where it came from his lips forming the words but couldn't speak it, his hand even trembled touching the gun it was a well crafted pistol one that, one that held a marking from a lab, a woman covered in water. Her face covered but there's a name engraved on the weapon, Liz, his heart dropped but tran grunted, it was one of there top intendence like Lugh and Ceth dared Bal to do, make blood for no one, his eyes took into Dons seeing nothing staring back, no remorse or reverence for what he caused, Caille beside him her legs on the table scanning over her sword, the sapphire gleamed from the light matching the gleam in her eyes as she stared at them with, it was calloused, her smile made the room shiver,
"He couldn't even avoid it, but that bastard might live still," Caillie laughed a harsh cold that cut through them, like a blizzard, thick surfacing and brutal,
The blood dripped from the table to the floor, Ui snared glaring at it, dirt, on his pants, he moved his pants glaring at Don, a snarl in his voice,
"Take the damn thing back already you have proven your damn trust in this,"
Don glanced at him blank as he made his shadows slip over the table taking the decapitated arm back into his own making, the blood sucked away, the remnants of the arm gone as fast as it came, the room held a silent chill covered them, Cailles laughed filled it sharp, annoying.She placed her own back in its sheath,
"Everything is prepared, our offerings and the subtle guessing from Shepard will make more confusion then its worth, and the dons collect to take off the head of the serpent…the full line of the Dagda. This won't end well will it Don?" Callie asked tilting her head to him her eyes wide, also glowing other worldly light, white and a dark blue that made it look like black, Don peered at her with a disgusted curl on his lip his hand opened with that black shadow curling around it, a bunny affirmed in his palm,
"I wouldn't call them confused, they're disoriented, for how long I'm not sure. Taking down the whole Dagada line would be hard, one of them is a powered fallen dark angel, whispering in his ear day and night. Reincarnating him into a worse beast then first thought. The glyphs on him were ancient. Powerful could even take what our bosses angels have given us," Don explained he peered around the table, there was recollection, shocked. Tempted. He stared back at his rabbit petting it slowly feeling the surge of bloodlust coming from it and the room,
"Not to mention, the Dagada that has a whole company of highly trained subordinates, come with significant training, some that would put us to shame, others couldn't hold a candle to our power," Tran explained his eyes peering at where they had the arm,
"Not to mention the angel that heads them all," Ethn added his turquoise hues peered at him, his hand tightened on the chairs arm,
"One that's not easily killed, not fallen more powerful than the others," Chullian queried, thinking looking down at nothing his gaze, Sandel like a fire burning at the side of her host, Damien arm in a sling glared at him like his role amounted to nothing. Like he was more trouble then what he was worth, then the host of that angel Avalon standing there like a beacon, the fire that Sandel has only amplified in her, Avalon's own power expanded. From a small fire no one noticed before all this happened when it did, she changed how the city over the span of three years of her fire burning brighter then any light in the city, any of the stars, threaten him like he wasn't an enforcer of Lugh, almost killing his boss, Chullian was so lost in thought he didn't hear them conversing,
"But she can't spread her power, not to those weak around her, not those wast of potential that stood on her side, I wouldn't see them with her powers blessed by her, if you can call it that from that accursed fire." Ui hissed his hand pointed at Chullian opened his lips to utter another mocking hiss but Caille's laughter rumbled through the secluded unknown room, her eyes squinted a mocking glint in her eyes, her voice cold and bitter,
"Not from what we have seen," Callie interjected her gaze cut through to Ui, how young he was, how blind he wanted to be, and is to the unknown, she smirked at him,
"What have you seen other than the monster that follows her in the forest, to you and Don seeing the blunder you two had," Ui seethed his piercing eyes met Cailles cold ones, clashing together the room felt colder, the shadows along Don and Caille curled around them a living shield, Callie's sharp white that shifted blue could grab him from her stare alone. Ui gave him a glare of his own, the light that came from him was like his mother pure plasma, it came off him like a star it came off him touching Ethn, it burned at there suits there side of the room became hot, the heat bearable to the two, Chullian whinced at the heat his lips a snare glaring at the plasma,
"Are you trying to destroy the room, knock it off," Chullain interrupted his voice, Tran beside him observed the conflict, the heat flashed around them reminded him of Lugh, he would light up like a torch but he wouldn't run out. This brat was only a fickle light bulb, his star plasma already dimmed Ui glared at Callie her own hues stared back daring him to start something, anything to stop this encrypted silence of powers,
"She couldn't have given her angel willingly," Chullian added his amber eyes caught Ui serious, Chullian felt his hand tremble slightly feeling Lugh's influence over his body, it heated up his tattoos glowed, he huffed seeing Ui still glaring holes into anyone that interjected.
"Willingly? What are you implying?" Ui asked scornfully, his hand twisted towards Chullian the fragment of plasma wrapped around his fingers,
"What I'm saying is her angel works with her, when I was there Avalon did what she wanted, that meant Avalon's abilities did what they wanted, whether it blessed the people around them or not…" Chullian explained
Marcello's moans body came to his vision along that heart curdling scream clinging from the broken woman over his chest her eyes like stars falling to the earth, her hands cradle his chest, but the worse part was her screaming,
"The word is that she made a new heart that day, in Marcello Sickle," Chullian looked at the his eyes a devastating glare, his hand tightened on the chair his hands heated up, feeling the eyes of them all on him, he looked into each of them,
"You weren't even there…" Ui stopped when Trans voice cut through his, a calm tone that trampled over Ui's hefty brittle voice,
"He was there just barely conscious, he recalled what happened from Lugh carrying him out, but the screaming. Whaling coming from Avalon was horrific."
Tran glanced at Chuillan, giving him a subtle nod, leaning his head to the side, his brown hues met Ui,
"From what we gathered Marcello is still in a coma with his heart bursting in flames,"
The room stilled they stare at Tran like he took over the whole meeting on one sentence, when they hear laughing menial laughing, Caille stared at them with a smirk that reached her ears,
"His heart a flame, she kept him alive?" Caille asked her hand sharpening her blade, Don beside her empty void uttered,
"Does he have something we need to worry for? A small flame could still be a problem,"
Tran and Chuillan glanced at each other, Tran scanned over his friend seeing how stiff he is, his not certain. Not even a little, Tran felt a weight bared on his chest,
"It might be a problem later but not now," Tran answered
