"Mushrooms"need to get mushrooms." Really should have remembered to get those earlier. Grumbling she took a bucket from near the refuse dump and set it below the head of their tanked orc. Cleaver in hand, one swing set their dinner broth flowing before she turned and took up her peacoat. "Heading to the Market, be back later!" She called to let her voice echo through their corner of the "Combs".

Like a specter she drifted through the dark corridors to stop below a grate somewhere close to Plaza De Troyes. Eyes scan around briefly before her corporeal body fell away to a light fog of the faintest green. Spiraling up through the pry holes in the sealed man-hole her consciousness filled the fog and looked down upon it all at once. Drifting quietly her essence slipped free of the underground and traversed the pavement to slip into the mouth of a narrow mouthed alley.

Willing herself to condense and solidify, Myra reformed just inside the entrance with only a minor problem. Looking down she found her coat on backwards. "I swear"there's always something.? Worming her way from the coat, she righted the error when a peculiar scent came to her nostrils. Undead to be sure, but something was odd. Sniffing, Myra craned her neck to peer towards the back of the alley when a faint growl came from above. She wasn't given the chance to look when impossibly strong hands jerked her from her feet, blood slashing across the bricks as her scream is cut off.

The second Myra died

"Welcome to a city that'll bring you to your knees," he softly murmured as eyes shot open feeling one of his flowers ripped from the soil of his garden. "I see the children in the rain like the parade before the pain." No movement made to grab his vest as the Singer of Songs levitates up from the mattress and glides to his feet. "Chase the star I'mma turn you into a maniac."

Gasping as Cain rose from the bed; Maerlyna sat up and watched him with abated breath. He only woke when something was happening. Quickly she gathered her clothes, ready to follow him at a moments notice.

Eyes shift from brightest blue to deepest red as his mind expanded from their tunnels and beyond. Down each corridor, he passed with his thoughts, feeling movement. Both living and undead were in his realm beneath the city. "You dealin" with a true villain."

Focused, the Singer of Songs left his chambers as memories of the blooded bring a spark of energy to his lips in the form of a release word. Corporeal body fell away as he became the Wraithwind; a desiccating vortex of swirling darkness, its only warning came in the shape of a faint chime like a tornado from the Abyss.

On a wasp's trajectory, he blew through empty tunnels following the path of Myra, form swirling under the same manhole she had stood beneath just moments ago. Rising and passing, the cover blown from its resting place he lifted into the sky to see her body lie desecrated on a roof like some animal.

Feet touch down as Cain lets go of the spell, his entire body beginning to shake at the sight. Someone attacked what belonged to him. He looked into her eyes and saw only one thought, her final "Do you hear me now?" Kneeling he closed her eyes and bowed his head.

"How long can I keep pretending to be? That all the stars in the sky could mean something to me." Shaking he summoned the Wraithwind one final time, following the scent northeast towards the Aquifer. Yes, there would be blood tonight.
