Rose put a hand to her head and groaned quietly "Oh ow what the fuck" She mumbled. When emotions came that fast in that amount, it fucked with her head. And hurt just a bit.

They continued to hassle him and finally they got the response I guess they wanted... but they didn't. "Who?..."
The shook their heads. "Sorry... that's classified, Kane... but to let you know... she didn't beg for her life... she was a trooper all the way... right until the moment we threatened the life inside of her. She promised many things that we took, and kept taking. Then... we lied."
Kane couldn't bare another word as he brought up the rock and smacked it against the man whispering in his ear. The rock didn't break... but something else did. The next body closest to him found himself get flung near Rose into a tree like he was a pillow, then Kane jumped into the trees.
"Get up!" The guard commanded his friend, who was bleeding from the face.
They aimed to the sky and shot where he had disappeared.
Rose could hear Kane's thoughts still... his pain was immense.

Rose squeaked quietly. Well, that surprised her. She slipped over a little and watched as Kane darted into the trees. She looked back towards the clearing. Red energy slipped over the ground and trapped the men to their current standings. Before the energy seeped up their body and destroyed their weapons.

They all looked around and now there was two targets. Kane Dropped behind a guard and pulled him into the dark. After a few moments of screaming he was thrown back into the light, still alive... he scuttled into the middle of the clearing. White as a ghost. His friends all joined him... as the cracking of Kane in the trees seemed to come from everywhere. Then he pounced again, The force of his landing caused the ground to chip and all of the meen lost their footing as they look up at Kane... seething.
"Leave..." He growled. "Before I do something I regret... but trust me... I won't regret it much..." They stood up again.
"Don't be a fool... you just made it ten times worse for those who picked up your shattered pieces."
Kane stomped and the men scurried further. "Trust me... I could only improve their odds." They sneered at him.
"You're a dead man, Kane!" As they attack him like fools Kane struck the first guard hard enough to cause him to bounce nearly off the ground as he landed.

Rose stepped out of hiding, listening to the conversation. She glanced at Kane, staying silent for the time being. She had done her job for now.

The two guards grabbed for his arms, but only found themselves lifted off the ground. He still spoke calmly, but Rose could tell he was anything but calm. "Who killed them...?" He offered.
They responded by spitting in his face... Kane turned away just a moment... he then look back.
"Please... tell me..."
They laughed. "Come on Kane... you don't have it in you... If you can't kill us, how do you expect to stand before Lord Armok." He sighed. He let them drop. They slithered away.
He couldn't kill them... his head was in the right place and it told him not to kill.
"My regards to Lord Armok... surely your punishment for failure will redeem my thirst." The man fell to his knees to recoup... He turned to see Rose standing there... he closed his eyes and looked ashamed.

Rose watched them as they made there way to get out of the clearing. She looked back to Kane. "You should have killed them. Why didn't you?"

He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. He then came back to her with his usual smile. "Is that what I should have done? or did I and they just don't know it yet?" He shrugged. "Armok is not a man who deals with failure well... this way... he will get my message, and they will feel another man's wrath." He sighs. "Nhycians are not killers... death is a gift... to be given by those who love you enough to lay you to rest. That is the way of my people... I'm sorry... did I upset you?" He looked concerned.

"This is true." She shook her head at him. "Not at all."

He looked at that tattoo at his hand again as it finally lay to rest. "I saw you at the meeting... you seemed uneasy." He look back around... it was safe... they were alone. "I want to tell you more about the war... and why we still have a chance at resolving this with Lord Armok staying alive..." He scratched his head and prepped. "Your leader won't listen to me, but I have something to ask of you. When you died... how long were you dead?"

"Well yes. I've been friends with Armok for a very long time. We're very close." Yes indeed they were. She leaned back against the tree and listened. "Well, that's Kat for you." She thought on his question. "I suppose it depends on which one it was." I mean cause really, how many times have I killed Rose?

He took to the tree next to hers.
"When you die... the brain breaks down systematically with the magics of bringing people back to life depending on how long they were dead those systems till need to mend. I suppose this is why sometimes when brought back to life some people find themselves in a hospital room... they forget how they got there... the mind either reboots or shuts down. Sometimes memories come back in packs. So when Lord Armok died. I suspect he had memory loss... and since his life span is that of many many years... some things came to him before others. He finally remembered Nhycia... but he forgot some important information about the events that I must get him to remember."

He tensed up... "His brother's betrayal... it was a horrible time for him and for us..." He sat against the tree... "Tanor Everhate was a brilliant war mind, but unlike Lord Armok his hand stretched above that of Armok's. They had their fights like anyone else... but eventually Armok wanted his time to shine and be on top. Tanor was his older brother and being so he had top billing... When Armok began to appear to be a threat he went behind Armok's back and struck an agreement with my people in order to always be one step up on his little brother. They both killed... let's never cross that. But our magic was too much for Tanor to ignore He infused the souls of his conquests into his own body until Armok told us to stop. His betrayal... is what We must get Armok to remember... as of now he doesn't remember it and that is what has brought out the demon in him. Right now all there was is the malicious death of his brother in more then arms." He shook his head. "He is channeling all that he was when he and his brother were out gathering nations like jacks."

Rose listened attentively. Anything that would keep Armok from another unpleasant death would be nice. And possibly preserve any and all relationships. She nodded her head in thought. "So if you can get to him and make him remember, this whole civil war thing will be done with? And no death on Armoks part?"

He nodded. "His brother's betrayal humbled him into the man you must know him as... without that piece of the puzzle... nothing ever made him amend he and his brother's way of dealing with the world." He leaned his head back... "but it won't be easy... and he won't exactly believe he's been betrayed... and as the man who killed his brother... only I could retrieve Tanor's earthly spirit." He Rose up... "but I can't do it alone... and we can't help this if Kat's only mindset is to put Armok's head on a post in front of the SC base... as you might have heard... she hasn't lost what I have by his hand." He exhaled. "Despite this... as long as I live he won't die if I have a say."

Rose frowned as she thought. "Were you there to see the betrayal? The whole thing?" Cause you know, Rose could grab that memory and help out in some way.

He blinked... "I killed him... his final act to tilt the scales beyond Armok's reach was his undoing at my hand. Does that help?"

"Possibly." Rose paused and was about to just dive into his mind but stopped. She had been practicing self restraint. She looked back over to him. "Do you mind if I dig in your memory for a moment?"

he nodded... "If it'd help." Kane was acting... odd as Rose put it... normally someone who had his wife raped and killed by someone would want him to die a very horrific death. I guess Rose could accept any help she could find right now. "Just don't go digging too long... you might find something else of them you don't care to know."
