Jade slowly woke up and stretched her whole body, Green spark flew around her as she strained her over rested muscles.
She looked around but her stomach just grumbled so she could guess about two or three days passed.
Poking her head out the small entrance of their tunnel she noticed something extremely strange.
Greys scent lead outside and down a certain path but it was extremely faint almost like he has been gone fore days?
She followed the scent curiously but after a few minutes she soon discovered a few goblins exploring the cave while speaking goblin.
Jade quickly entered the shadows while silently stalking them as they just laughed while gossiping.
'It's a shame I can't understand what they are as saying, greys sound rune might not be best for combat but it's extremely useful for reconnaissance.' Jade mused to her self.
When a sudden thought popped in her head grey has been gone for a long time and now goblins were patrolling near where she was that could only mean he was in trouble.
Which gave her a gnawing feeling of guilt inside her heart. She should've woken up when he told her to but she was to lazy and only now is rethinking her laziness.
After a while of following she saw a goblin village with torches everywhere.
'Why would they need so many torches? Goblins naturally have dark vision?' She thought puzzled
After using the shadows to climb the walls of the cave she saw a faint heat signature that was shaped like a rabbit in a cage near the center of the village.
It was shivering in a bundle with a purple hue on its head. Seeing the faint purple energy Jade recognized it immediately and in a quick panic she rushed to greys side.
She popped out a shadow near him only to his eyes glowing a dull purple and his entire frame looking starved an dehydrated.
Jade quickly used her shadow to extract the energy in greys mind.
The faint gold in his eyes soon returned but his eyes were still a dull almost lifeless color.
A horse whisper came from his mouth "I'm sorry… it… wasn't my fault.. just leave… my family alone….. ~please~"
Jade heard that and almost cried, as she gently patted his head with her tail she asked "what kind of nightmares were you reliving for these past days whilst I was asleep."
*slash*.
The tip of jades tail was silently cut off before she even noticed.
A croaky voice rung out behind her "oh nothing much being caged and abused, OH but the taste of his fear is sooo~ SWEET!
Jade quickly backed off and used her thunder rune to burn her cut tail stopping the bleeding.
The goblin just stared at her in amusement "I didn't know skakes had feelings for others let alone a snake with shadow powers like the eastern serpent."
The goblin just chuckled whilst forming a shadow dagger his eyes a bright white.
" You should know as a shadow user how addictive to taste of fear is and how much power fear gives."
Jade didn't respond she fired two thunder bolts straight towards the goblins head.
The goblin she barely shifted his head letting them fly into some stray goblins observing.
He quickly used his shadow dagger to send out four slashes in a square shape, before sending a small shadow needle.
Jade saw the slashes coming at her and jumped into a wall's shadow nearby but the four slashes blocked off all her exits.
Before she can move away from cuts a dark needle pierced her stomach.
A faint purple string appeared at the end of the dark needle before she was yanked out of the shadows.
"AAÆÆÆÆÆÆHHHH" an agonizing scream erupted from Jade. It felt as if something had hooked into her bones only to be pulled by some brute.
She fell at the goblins feet only to finally see his face as he picked her up by the base of her neck.
He was a all black goblin with a long nose and ears, his bald body only covered by some bat fur pants.
His smile was eerie his shining white fangs only outshone by his empty white eyes.
"I've never tasted another shadow users fear I wonder how you'll taste." He said while licking his lips sadistic way
His eyes turned a dark purple as he used [FEAR] her eyes turned a dark purple as her whole body went limp.
Jade woke up a in small hut her body felt small when she looked up she saw a much bigger snake with beautiful emerald scales.
"mother?" Jade questioned.
Jades moth quickly hushed her with her tail "hush now dear, your father has come looking you must run quickly before he turns you into his egg making machine."
"No no no not again, come with me"
Jades mothers skin became a translucent gel as she melted the ground below revealing a small tunnel system.
Jade was quickly shoved in before being buried alive. The next time she blinked she was on small hill watching a big green slime coverd in green thunder armor.
While a giant snake made of shadows just swallowed her whole. Jades eyes flickered back to green as she slowly woke up with a furious look in her eyes.
"Forcing someone to relive their worst moments recreating the fear of the past.
Tell me was the taste of fear worth it"
She said as her whole body turned full of green sparks building up energy.
The black saw this and look scared "shit" he tried to run only to be bound by snakes made of shadow
Grey slowly woke up feeling depressed and hungry with no energy in his body.
The only nearby food was a nearby meat triangle covered in in blood only the size of his paw.
He slowly reached out for it and dragged it into his mouth. The sweet taste of blood filled his body with energy his body was quickly healing but his face still had a dull empty look.
A few seconds later a huge explosion rung out followed by wave green static.
Greys body felt shocked awake before the cage he was in was sent flying in a random direction.
