Quick summery: The 4 heros of the land get yanked into the fade with the people they have strong connections to and they all must deal with fade fuckery bringing them through different parts of each others minds and memories.
Lucanis' instincts was the only thing that saved him from his throat being cut open- well that and Spite. The demon was quick to get their body moved out of the way of the blade that grazed the side of his neck even with the quick move.
His own blade came out quick and ready to kill but Spite yanked him back, wings sending him back a few inches with the force he put behind it. "Spite-" he tried to complain but his demon cut him off
"Rook!" he snapped in his head and Lucanis focused on his attacker.
It... It was Rook. Kinda. Song De Riva stood before him, twitching her knife and getting her feet into position before she was coming at him again. Spites wings took them up into the air away from her knife and Lucanis had to let his mind work quickly to figure out what was going on.
Her hair was black, not the bright blue he was used to, but her mismatched eyes and the scar across her forehead were all to familiar to him. "Rook stop it" he said, surprised as he had to doge a ice shot that she aimed for him. "What is going on with you?" he said, swooping down to try and grab her knife but she dodged his hands and tried to slash up for his face, only for Spites wings to shove her back hard enough to land her on her back. "Spite is she possessed?" he asked, quick to kick her knife far away from her and then hold his hands up to try and show her he was no threat.
"No" Spite said, and the demon actually sounded worried about what could be doing on.
"Spite demon" Rook said as she got quickly back to her feet and pulled out a new knife from somewhere in her clothes. That's right. He was still dealing with a fellow Assassin who had been trained by Viago himself and-
"Oh no" Lucanis said, touching where the knife had knicked earlier and her smirk told him what he needed to know on that. Thankfully, he knew what the poison most likely was because he knew Rook so well and he reached into his pocket for an antidote. He was quick to down it, his eyes narrowing at the girl before him. "lets not do that again yes?" he said, seeing the way she scowled at him and really took him in now.
"What house are you?" she asked, and Lucanis couldn't help but feel just a bit offended at that.
"Dellemorte. Do you not recognize me?" he said, shocked by that. "Rook-"
"Who the hell is ROOK? That poison shouldn't have made you mix up who I am" Song said, rolling her eyes some as she slowly tucked away her blade. "Contract?"
"No. We were both kidnapped and thrown into the fade by the looks of things" Lucanis said, taking in the area around them. He was familiar enough with the Fade now because of Spite.
"And your demon?" she challanged
"We are contracted together. He's not a threat" Lucanis assured, sighing "you really don't recognize me? At all?" he asked, wondering what the hell made her forget who he was.
"No? Sorry. I don't know anyone from the Dellamorte family. Viago would rather I didn't embarrass him" she said, shrugging. Yeah that sounded like Viago. "Who's Rook?"
"You" Spites voice came out firmly and Lucanis waved him away
"You are. Technically. But... you are older when I know you. So I am wondering what kinda spell is going on. Damned mages" he grumbled the last part- after all, the love of his life was a mage even if she currently didn't remember him. "But we will figure it out. Temporary alliance?" he asked, holding his hand out
She eyed his hand then reached out to shake his, nodding some. "sure. I cant really tell he head family no" she pointed out before she looked around curiously. Little spirits of curiosity were coming out to peek at her the way they always did whenever they visited Emmrich. "Guess we start by wondering huh?" she said, already beginning to walk.
"Rook?" Spite asked and Lucanis sighed
"Shes in there somewhere Spite.... we will get her back. I promise."
