Fate, destiny, luck" None of these were things Martyr cared about, nor did she believe in. For, if there were such things, it would prove that the universe hated her existence. It meant that the road that she had been traveling on, had been purposely trying to destroy her" It meant that the betrayal, the lost memories, lost loves"and well, the loss in general"were all supposed to happen. Martyr liked to think she created Max"with Valcroix's help, of course"and not some unknown, and certainly sadistic force"
Imagine just how unsurprised the immortal was when an arrow went flying into her heart, the head piercing the pulsing organ. "Hngh!" Martyr groaned out as her body flew back from the force, blood sputtering up from her lips. What hurt more than an arrow moving through one's flesh?"gripping ahold of it with a hand, and tearing it the opposite way. Martyr screamed in agony as her body began to bleed out, felt the clutches of death singing at her ears and swimming in her vision. Then, as if someone pressed rewind, her wounds began to sew themselves up. The blood staining her clothes was without a wound to be claimed by"though some of it swam back into her flesh. Vibrant violet peepers scanned around for her attacker, looking in every crevice of the alleyway.
It wasn't necessary to look everywhere, she'd find out. "Caia "Martyr" Slane, I have come for you?" It was a man, dressed completely in black with a hood covering most of his face save for two, dark green orbs that were pressing the weight of his heavy pupils right into the incapacitated immortal. His lengthy form stood only a few feet away, away casting his shadow from his form (which was easily six feet in length) overtop her rangy seemingly weightless form. Martyr rubbed her eyes, swallowed hard, and then looked again. Nope, he was still there. The illustrious girl parted copious lips to speak, but was quickly halted by the man who seemed to answer her question before it was asked. "I am someone from your past, and no' You do not remember me, nor will you ever, but I remember you? I know all about your"lovely abilities" I am here to kill you?"
Martyr's eyes widened, her lips parted in a gaping, horrified fashion. Kill her" There were ways, she knew" If he had that information, then she was doomed before she set out"but surely she wasn't stupid enough to open up and tell him how to take her down. "W-well then" I g-guess y-you're w-welcome t-to t-try?" The girl offered her broken lyrics for his own displeasure. Then her hand transformed into a metal talon, and she glared up at him, clenching her hand into a tight fist. Amethyst orbs stared him down from her seemingly helpless state.
The girl's confrontations drew out a rumbling laughter that started in the gut, and bellowed from the man's mouth. "A martyr that puts on a brave face, huh' Now, that's cute?" The nameless man cooed softly to her. His shadow began to wrap around her, paralyzing her body within its dark coils. Martyr cried out and struggled as her claw began to bat at the unattainable obscurities. It was to no avail, the moment the darkness wrapped around that rangy wrist, her arm had been forced to transform back. It was a painful experience, being forced to convert. It left Martyr screaming for mercy.
"STOP IT!?
