Tranquility

Earlier, Rhaziel had hurried to the room where Nikolai lay unconscious. Given that Ophelia had woken up, he reasoned that Nikolai would too. However, as he approached, he heard Pain, who was in the chamber with Nikolai, growl loudly.

He halted.

"Stay away. For now, at least." Rhaziel overheard Nikolai mutter angrily. He was relieved that he had woken up, but without content, he kicked open the door and transformed his eyes into their thick black demon form.

Nikolai scowled deeply as he raised his dark crimson wolf-like eyes to Rhaziel. Wide awake at the side of his face was the snake tattoo that was meant to be at the side of his neck. "Go away." With a growl, he cast his eyes down to Pain, who was sitting directly in front of him and giving him a fierce look.

Putting aside his tremendously menacing aura, Rhaziel took a step forward. "What's wrong with you?"

"Do you want me to repeat myself?" Nikolai bit out and rose up.
