Anya Rhau-Nys
High up in one of the many towers of the Rhau-Nys Clan fortress, Anya sat alone in a dark room closely studying one of her father’s many books, looking for a specific prophecy that she recalled her father mentioning before his untimely death. Eventually, after much cursing under her breath, Anya found the page she was looking for, on it was clearly written;
“The destiny of the one born a darkweaver will herald many changes in the Clan, but by her side will be the one who returns from the darkness, one who was destroyed by her own hands…”
Anya read the text several times, there had been many she had killed, but there were only two who were strong enough and powerful to stand by her side, all she could do was hope it was the one she truly wanted that would return.
Blowing out the candle, Anya left the room and made her way downstairs, she could hear her demon guards whispering amongst themselves, they were unsure about what lay ahead, Anya knew she had to assure them that they would always remain by her side so she reached out to them with her mind, letting them feel the power of her dark energy, allowing them to momentarily feed off her…that was Anya’s way of reassuring them, the whispering stopped, the guards were satisfied, Anya muttered an ancient Clan chant under her breath as a deep silence fell over the fortress.
Sitting in the study, Anya poured herself a drink and sat in the large chair by the roaring fire, thinking about the prophecy…

*there is a great disturbance in the darkness Anya Rhau-Nys can feel it in her very core. as the demons all seem scared to death , they remain on guard but they seem to be trembling, you look out your window on the fortress in the distance you see giant bursts of light followed by utter darkness, seeing the light reminds you of a desision you once made, one you regretted, you feel something deeply commected to to brought back, and is out there somewhere you read the profecy again as you hear a thunderous roar echoing in the crater that was just created a few miles away. a man in robes sitting at the center of that crater.
Anya Rhau-Nys
*Anya turns to her demon guards* You fools, there is nothing to be scared of, back on duty now…and increase security around the fort, summon more demons if you have to…*I force myself to sound strong, but inside I am fearful because I know exactly what has happened, the war that has been raging, the never ending battle between various demon factions is at an end…and whatever is out was the reason for that war and now it has come back for one reason and one reason alone…me…and I feel it is not the chosen one I wanted*
Zagan D’Vorich
*inside yer body are threads you have created you feel as tho a hairlike thead is being pulled on as tho you just caught a fish, as you focus on this thread you hear these words* come to me if you have the courage, my dear. *then the thread is ripped out of your body, the connection gone with that thread, not able to control him, unless a new thread can be woven, (you remember the night that thread was woven) he is now free from yer thread control* that wasnt the deal, dear lady, i bore you the child of that profecy and what did you do?
Anya Rhau-Nys
*swears under my breath* You bastard…I tore you apart with my bare hands…scattered your very soul throughout the darkness…it is not possible that you can return…*Anya starts to draw on the powers of the darkness, preparing more threads ready to face her nemesis…Mirror Richard*
Zagan D’Vorich
*grins evily* you’ve been busy *looks around * seems you rebuilt everything quite nicly after i um burred daddy, and sent that, big rock to that place you called home, but i guess this will do if you could just show me to my room, we can talk over dinner if you want *smirks at you*
Anya Rhau-Nys
*I motion to my demon guards and they immediately stand by my side* The only thing I’ll be showing you is the exit, my guards will escort you out…unless of course you have a death wish…for a second time, in which case I’ll happily oblige…
Zagan D’Vorich
owe you do like to tease me dont you *evil grin* ok one more time go ahead kill me, i really dont mind *as i smile at you* but like the terminator said, ill be back *laughs evily at you* owe you really should visit the darkness more instead of reading book and playing patty cakes with yer demon slaves, you might learned it was me comming back, but i guess youll learn eventually.
Anya Rhau-Nys
*Raising her hand in the air, Anya draws on the darkness to create an energy whip and with a quick flick of her wrist, cracks it in front of you, sparks fly as it makes contact with the ground* That was just a warning…Mirror Richard, or whatever title you’re going by these days…and I knew someone was coming back…I had just hoped it wasn’t you…but the man I once loved…*Anya realises she’s said too much and falls silent, glaring intensely, lifting her whip up ready to strike again*
Zagan D’Vorich
ok lets get this forplay over with *removes my robe* go ahead whip me then we can fufill the profecy *evil grin on my face* and my name is Zagan D’Vorich dear lady Anya you once knew my old body mirror richard, but i can assure you i have taken many forms in the past, *holds arms up* like the new me.
Anya Rhau-Nys
*I laugh at you scornfully* So it’s Zagan is it now, well I suggest you start thinking of a new name, because you are not going to be around for much longer…and no I do not like the new you…I hate you intensely, so now we’ve established that fact, as you would say, fuck the foreplay, let the killing begin *Anya raises her whip and lashes you across your chest, as it makes contact, it crackles, and sparks fly in all directions, she raises it again* Of course you could always just agree to be my slave, it’s a long time since I’ve had a man to play with…you will at least keep me amused for a while…until I get bored and rip your heart out…
Zagan D’Vorich
*giggles histerically as you whip him, a deep slash mark across is body *as you meant that to hurt badly* owe that tickles, my great grea great great great great grandmother hit better than that, *walks closer to you there is utter darkness where there should be blood and the wounds are healing fast* they said that youd try to kill me and whip me, so they fixed that problem, owe and no need to use yer knitting skills trying to weave a thread into me *whispers* they wont let you *laughs evily* your just stuck with me, but if you prefer to play with yer demons ill go *starts to leave*
Anya Rhau-Nys
*growls and snarls menancingly* Damn you Zagan…go ahead, leave, it doesn’t matter to me, it was never you I wanted back…are you really so stupid that you thought I’d welcome you with open arms and say ‘I’ve missed you sweetheart, it’s so good to see you again’? That one time I slept with you was only so I could destroy you, it meant nothing more to me than that…do I make myself quite clear?
Zagan D’Vorich
yes you make yourself quite clear, but i didnt lie when i told you how i felt, i now consider it my only few hours of weakness i ever had, in the centuries ive lived thru, for what *voice gets raised* i wanted my existance to end, you had yer choice to be with the baker, puppy collector, be his little angel and you did it, when you did it destroyed the darkness in the child, i was destroyed, but they put me back together to come back, many fought against the idea because they know the power the child will have, but our side was victorious in the civil war, go run to yer slave for i shall never be yer slave, you read the words but do not understand them i suggest you read them again *as you see utter darkness in his soul*
Anya Rhau-Nys
*Anya’s rage increases as her eyes blaze red, she stands directly in front of Zagan, staring deeply into his eyes* Don’t you ever dare speak to me like that…I felt I made the right decision at the time, I lost everything, Lukas, the man I loved, my future all gone in an instant, I wanted my life to end to, but given a second chance I took it…would I make the same choice again…*I take a few steps back and sit down in the chair looking up at Zagan* Alright, so I might have fucked up, but know this, I won’t make the mistake worse by allowing you to walk into my life as if you own me and accusing me of not understanding the words of the prophecy….bastard *Anya hisses under breath*
Zagan D’Vorich
no i dont own you, the profecy could not be fulilled by lukas i created him you accepted him as yer slave *smashes the furnture* the profecy says by your side, you never saw him as an equal, the child was concieved, the power was yours to take, angel richard was a fool, *stops and turns around* but i know how you feel, why you chose to be with him, i felt same thing once.
Anya Rhau-Nys
*I get to my feet and stand facing you with my hands on my hips* And I suppose you think you are my equal…that you are the one to stand by my side…well I have a say in this and I say not, I don’t want you in my life, now or ever…you can’t possibly know how I feel, you don’t have feelings, just hatred…now get the hell out of here… *You sense my resolve starting to weaken, but know I will stand my ground as long as I can*
Zagan D’Vorich
*starts to walk out of the fortress* i do know how you felt, thats why i chose to let you destroy me *hoping she gets the meaning from those words, as we both had moments of weakness, and both chose to be destroyed, i chose knowing she would bear the choild from the profecy, but not knowing she cared enough for lukas to make the same choice, be destroyed for him*
Anya Rhau-Nys
*Taking a deep breath, Anya stands defiantly watching Zagan leave, then runs after him, grabbing hold of his arm* Wait…maybe you’re right, maybe you are the one to stand by my side…I can’t take the risk and fuck the prophecy up again…I accept you’ve been sent back for a reason, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt for now, you can stay in the fortress…but that does not imply that I’ve suddenly decided I like you…I just think you may have some valuable insight and…and there are times when I could do with a second opinion, I wasn’t ready to take over this Clan when my father died, so I still make bad decisions at times, I accept that…so will you stay?
Zagan D’Vorich
owe it will not be that easy, i want the main bedroom all to myself i want slave girls and a samwich *knowing this will infuriate anya, giggles to myself waiting to see what she says as i want her to be more evil than she is because i knoe it makes her darker inside so i am egging her on knowing the forces in the darkness will not let her destroy me*
Anya Rhau-Nys
*I grab hold of you by your throat and slam you back against the wall* Fuck you Zagan, you’ll get the darkest coldest room in the top of the tower and live with it…and make your own damn sandwiches…don’t push your luck…and never underestimate what I am capable of *I can sense my demon guards moving around me, waiting for my signal to attack and for a moment I’m tempted to finish Zagan off, but no doubt there are ‘rules’ in place to prevent me from doing that, so reluctantly I let Zagan go and tell the guards to back off, for now*
Zagan D’Vorich
*one demon looks at me evily backs off last as he turns around i punch him in the back my fist pierces his back i rip his heart out, take a bite oout of it* on second thought this is better than a samwich as i walk to the main bedroom eating the demons heart i roar loudly as it echoes thru the lands, i grab a girl put her over my shoulder*
Anya Rhau-Nys
Zagan stop right there…*I run after him, standing in front of him with my hand on his chest* you will show some discipline if you’re going to live in the fortress with me, there are rules we all follow *I signal to a guard to take the girl off Zagan, which he does reluctantly* And I would appreciate it if you didn’t eat my demons…I have hunters that go out for food for us…*I open a door that leads up to one of the towers* And your room is up there, the main bedroom belongs to me…and don’t dare argue…
Zagan D’Vorich
*looks at you, sence yer almost ready to giggle yerself* well i like loud music and would like breakfasy served ay 6 am *bows repectfully* if its not too much trouble, i then go up to my room and you hear evil sounding music, dammit you think to yerself thats the same cra he played when he posseded darth* owe say hello to my son next time you see him, im gunna lovce the look on his face. when he knows im back *laughs evily*
Anya Rhau-Nys
*I’m grateful I managed to keep a straight face, I have to admit to myself that for as much as Zagan is a pain in the ass, he does amuse me to a certain extent. I head to the main bedroom, making sure I lock the door, not trusting Zagan to stay put. As I climb into bed, I wonder how Đarth is going to react when I tell him the news*
