Dark Tidings

“Damn them!”
Tivak stood in the small house he had “borrowed”. Pacing up and down.
“How the in the nine hells had they reacted so fast, blood and ashes!”

Still he was lucky his spy had managed to get the message to him fast enough. His services were expensive but o so valuable. He would see to getting him a tip discreetly. His information had it come two minutes later would have spelled disaster for the project.
As he considered the project his gaze fell on Chabats sleeping form. He watched as a bead of sweat poured down her forehead. She was on her side. She would be asleep until he gave her the yellow flask he knew.
His thoughts turned to Liontooth the night before… a smile spread across his lips. Idly while in thought he scratched his thigh without realizing it. After a moment of quiet contemplation he heard a voice in the night.
“Boss? ….. Boss?”
Tivak moved into a casters pose. He prepared the spell his in mind and could feel it in his finger tips. A head glanced around the opening of the house. A look of shock had barely crossed the creatures face when the ice lance hit it right in the face..
Its head exploded in a grey and red shower. The sound of the fleshies exploded head hit the ground brought a new joy to Tivak. He watched as the headless body remained standing for a second. Slowly it slumped forward, the crevice of its neck where its head should have been lying exposed to him, blood pouring onto the carpet…
Hmm…perhaps he should have tortured the creature for a while first…no matter.
Tivak changed poses again and called on the power within him. Raising his hands in the air his mind jarred as the link was created.
The water elemental pulled itself from the ground. Unable to help himself Tivak glanced at the elemental and studied it for a second. His trainer had been reluctant to teach him the spell but it was one of his greatest achievements.
The elemental stared at him.. waiting for orders. He pointed at the goblins body.
“Feed the big part to my raptor, she is outside to the east, leave the rest for whatever creatures of the night would eat it”
The elemental bizarre form of communication sent a message of positivity across his mind. Tivak watched as it picked up the body. How a creature made up of water could do such a feat was beyond him. The goblins neck bled onto the elementals body. Tivak couldn’t help himself but watch as the blood mixed with the elementals own form.
He turned to look back at Chabats body. She was alive he knew and he would have to feed her soon.
He took a moment to study Chabats body in a bit more detail. She had stirred strange emotions in him last night. It made him feel uncomfortable remembering it. Expecting Emeline to not know how to properly look after one of these he had made it undress so that Emeline could clean it. The sight of her naked form had brought up feelings of revulsion and excitement within Tivak. He had never seen a naked woman before but had never cared before.
Still..the task at hand. He felt the elementals presence returning.
“Clean her” he said pointing to Chabat.
He watched as the elemental changed its structure and flowed over chabats body. It started at the feet moved to the head and returned to the feet before beginning to reform again. The elemental stood there and waited. Watching him. With a thought he banished the creature. Tivak peered closer at Chabat while a splash was heard behind him.
A feeling of pity stirred inside him but was crushed by the hatred and anger he felt for all the fleshies.
“No more chances” he said and “no more mistakes he thought”
He carefully laid some netherweave cloth on the floor and began to sew bolts of the cloth….
He would have to feed her soon he knew but before he woke her he was going to make sure she couldn’t move….
