He swiftly makes his way to the fortress called the Den of Shadows. Dunking through brush and using his shadowwalking skills gained from his parents he shifts through the shadows of the trees quietly and carefully. As he nears the fortress or what looks to be a church with walls to stand against a small force and a moat so close it would be hard to gain footing if any at all.

He pulls out two clawlike gloves and straps them on. He looks at them and grins."Alright lets see if we can get to the door". He takes a good run and leaps over the moat both claws stab into stone and he begins to slide slightly but stops as the claws sink into the stone. He stabs his way slowly to the door watching to make sure he isn't spotted by some stray guard. He stabs one of the claws into the stone futher as he slides the other one out stabs the door to make a makeshift handle and inches the door open.

He peeks inside through the crack and sees no guards or anything nearby so he swings the door further by yanking out the claw and lifts a foot into the entrance using the claws to swing himself through the door.

" Not much security" he whispers as he closes the door and makes his way to the upper hall and removes the claws tucking them away incase if he had to use them for later.

As he moves through the hall he shifts into the endless amount of shadows made from the faint light and slides through the hall until the walls slowly become more cramped until only two at a time could fit through here.

He begins to sweat as he walks through, not from heat but from fautigue. His powers were leaving his domain as he walked farther and farther through Renna's. As he soon got to a point in the passage he looked around and saw several small passages."By the gods now which way" he speaks rather loudly and hears his voice echo down the halls." Damn!" He slides into the shadows and waits....

Renna stood in the main Throne Room, of which the Main Underground Passage way eventally ended up too. It wasn't so hard to get there really - just follow the narrow and cramped passageway untill you found the large expansive room of the Throne Room...
Standing silently atop of the Alter Renna had no forces strung up on the walls of the Hall... They were out with her daughter currently bringing fresh bodies for her to use.
The voice echoed out to her earshot, and Renna's skull slowly titled up towards the entrance of the Throne Room... Stareing out into the darkness of the passageway... Waiting, not bothering to go the man... Instead... She thought she'd play with him for a while...

"What's wrong?" Her voice echoed around is form - coming from the walls, the floor... The ceiling... Everywhere around his form she echoed... But no body could be sened or heard.

"Come closer..."

"Don't worry."

"Welcome Talos."

A dark chuckle... The voices seemed to overlay eachother in a mad choir of Renna's voice.

"Why are you here-"

"Is it for business?"

"Are you here to kill me?"

"Come now, Talos... Don't be a fool like your Father-"

"Such a fool!"

"Yes... Why are you here?"

Renna chuckled in the Throne Room. She allowed Brian to enter without her knowing, after all, she trusted the man for now in not pushing his nose into her business. But Talos was a different kettle fish. A different idiot in the big wide apple tree - which needed to be plucked and eaten.

"Damn it" He shifts out of the shadows and walks to the throne room down the hall. He does his best to hide his weakness while being here as he aproaches her throne

"I have come for something Renna something that I need very badly"his was calm but seemed childlike in a strange way

Renna stood atop of the Alter which was in itself a large thone for her to stand on high above everyone else. She stared down to Talos and simply gave him dry, and bitter chuckle. Her words were not far off from the same expression her laughter gave:

"From me? In here, Talos, I could careless who you are, and what you are. This is my arena and you just stepped into it-" Her arms opened wide and her head titling back, she stared up to the ceiling for a moment, arms falling suddenly to her eyes.

"What could someone as low as you, offer me? You had your chance of being the big-bad-boy, but gave it up for family. Give me one good reason not to strip your flesh from the bones, and throw your carcass into my own army." Renna took slow steps down the Alter, descending and approaching the man, no fear in her voice, her movements not slowing down as she approached towards him slowly - almost purposely to give the sense of impending doom looming towards his form.

Looks at her his eyes darkening"" Because Renna my father is returning and if he finds these creatures he will destroy them along with you. He may like you but not that much"

Renna simply paused her movements. Both hands coming to stop their swaying at her sides... A long drawn silence, Renna's form trembled a little... Then more violently... The sound of armour and bones rattled together as she pulled her head back for a loud grownig cackle.
Her jaw opened wide as the raspry cackle echoed away into nothing... Before she then composed herself, turning her back at Talos and moving to walk back up the Alter - back to the top platform and to turn, look down at him, and point a finger.

"I am afraid, you are mistaken. You think, that your Father being an Angel - and whatever he is - is going to destroy me and my army? You have no idea what I have done to them. What I have created by myself; I am sorry to say that, this is way out of your league... And now, you bore me." Renna slowly unclipped the Morning Star letting the ball fall to the ground harshly against the stone floor of the alter.
"You will never see your Father, Talos. You will not, leave here alive..."

Stunned he looks at her a moment and then grins. Soon he begins to laugh and his face looks down. When he looks back up his eyes look of hellfire once more."Do you think I would let you destroy my other half I still do need him Renna now back off before I use this welps true power unleash"

Renna shook her head, still standing atop and stareing to him... "Your true power here, is useless." Then, chuckling darkly she made her way down the Alter again - the multitude of shadow arms slithering out of her back and to take point around her form - the claw-like hands snatching at the air as she was now advancing a little quicker...

Then she broke into a run she swung the Star's ball up towards the man's chin, while several of the vector's hands moved towards the man's chest ready to tare a chunk out of his body.

He vanishes before the ball even strikes and she hears made laughter throughout the room"This boy that I inhabit has more power than he lets on Renna. He fears it more than death itself"

Portals open everywhere in the room as pieces of the nexus are shown" But I do not"

He lets the portals vanish as he runs from the hall as quickly as possible knowing he only has a little time left before he looses his link again. He makes his way to the intersection area while she is distracted with the portals as he makes his way further down the hall

"Damn it he is returning I'm to late if he finds that blasted key" He continues to run as he sends a portal infront of him knowing it will just give him a slight more of a leed than before but it was better than nothing
