* Vishious Motives:

Vishious stood there staring at Malice, letting what he had just said to him have the time to sink in. He wasn't one who had much patience when it came to dealing with people. And at this moment, he already wasn't in a very good mood.

He wanted to wrap things up here as quickly as he could. He had other thoughts of how he would like to spend his time right now, and dealing with this Kamaira and that weak sibling of his were the only ones that he needed to deal with before leaving to go back to his Palace. Back to Payne...

Malice noticed how Lord Vishious seemed to be somewhere else in his thoughts. He couldn't help but notice how the forest around them seemed to also feel the intense, dangerous aura that was coming from Lord Vishious.

Everything was dead silent, and not even the air around them seemed to dare move. Lord Vishious even seemed to take away the little light that the forest held and drew it to him, making a glow seem to outline around his formidable form. Making him the only thing that was clearly visible.

Malice couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake in accompanying Lord Vishious into the forest, alone. ' I should've just allowed an audience to talk inside the Palace. I was too quick to talk to this Lord on his terms", He thought silently.

The silence that had come to settle around them, seemed to have stretched a long while before Vishious finally interrupted it by saying, " I'm not sure if you're aware of the two different types of Night Creatures there are? So I'll just fill you in on some things." Vishious was now walking a little ahead of Malice as he said this. He stopped about 5 feet in front of Malice before he slowly turned around and faced Malice before he continued to speak, " The Shriekers, are the ones who are the lower level Night Creatures that come out every night to eat and reek havoc during the nighttime hours. They take on the same appearance and are all basically the same as the next. They're powerful and bloodthirsty, but They don't have individual strengths or abilities.

That is not true though when it comes to the higher level of Night Creatures, the Shadowers, they are the ones who are primarily my Generals and Commanders. They are more skilled and have more Powers and abilities and they also don't resemble each other.

They have their Demon form and they each have a second form that they can take." Vishious said in a dark, flat tone. He wanted to try and just get to the point that he knew Malice would find interesting to hear. He would let Malice learn the other details of the stuff he left out, later on his own.

He looked at Malice without taking his eyes off of him even once as he spoke. Wanting to see his reaction to the new information that he was about to give to Malice.

Lord Vishious than took a couple steps towards Malice, and his eyes couldn't hide the evil, glint that now was clear to see come to them and a deadly smile slowly came to his beautiful lips.

Malice had felt uneasy since they had arrived here, and this look that Vishious was now displaying was more than a little unsettling to Malice. Vishious stopped when he came to stand just in front of Malice. His eyes held a devilish laughter and his smile was dark and held an evil purpose. "What is it that you're dying to tell me, Lord Vishious?" Malice asked. He knew that this must be the reason why he had wanted to talk to him so badly.

He couldn't help but feel anxious and a little curious as to what it was. "The Shadowers, can also take on a human form!" Vishious' look was unsettling and the look in his eyes right now made him appear even that much more fearful.

"Human form?", Malice repeated those words, that came out barely a whisper. He felt as if his head was spinning and the ground beneath him became uneven and unsteady. "Did Slayer, not ever mention this little detail to you? Hmmm I wonder why that would be? But, perhaps, he may not have known either, which I find very unlikely but I guess you can ask him yourself about it. I mean, after all, you've always been such a loyal servant to him, I can't honestly think of a reason as to why he wouldnt let you know this?" Vishious was clearly provoking.

Making it a point to try turning things to sound as if Slayer had purposely held out from telling things to Malice. For Malice, everything around him went quiet And Vishious' words seemed to be muffled, not really registering to him what it was that Vishious was trying to provoke and stir within him.

Everything around him just seemed to go quiet and he was at a complete loss at the moment. Vishious noticed this and he couldn't hold back the dark chuckle that escaped his throat.

"Some Secrets can come as quite a shock to find out", He slowly circled Malice and when he came to stand just right behind his right shoulder, he broke the silence and brought Malice out of his momentary daze by saying, " Well, im going to need you to decide on what you're going to do now?"

Malice snapped back to his senses and turned his head quickly to look at Vishious, who was still standing next to him.
