In the Dead of the Night [Open]

[Darcia]

Night…

Such a silent place this was, appearing as ancient, the age was unknown yet it remained in ruins. Yet here he remained, for some reason, in the shadows of this forgotten and unmistakably rumored to be cursed. Most just stayed away…

Never worried about intruders before. So why would that change now?

Darcia carried himself though the halls of this place, coat dragging some behind him as he walked. His boots also creating noises that echoed off the walls. His blue eye almost shimmered as he exited a room, the one that the woman he loved to dearly was sleeping in, such a long…deep sleep…resting, he often wondered if she was in any pain…no, she was barely there…but if anything he must keep her sustained and soon, soon he shall rescue her…and take her in his arms once again, holding her warm body against his now cold one. He brought a hand up brushing his hair back and also checking to see if the dark lince covering his eye remained in place.

He pushed open another door entering a room it seemed to be filled with computers and monitors or types. He razed his hand a holographic keyboard appeared in front of him, as he taped his fingers along the eyes the screens around him changed, pictures moving, letters and numbers fading out and appearing. Then checked the security cameras to see if anyone was daring enough to approach.

[.::Element::.]

Koopa scanned the distant horizon with her wolf eyes. Ah. Darcia's castle. She had heard about Darcia. His caslte was supposedly 'cursed' She laughed. She wanted to see just how cursed it was. So she ran right up to it, wondering if the 'great' Darcia was watching her. Koopa let out a howl to announce her arrival. She wanted to see just what this Darcia would do. She hated most males, but Darcia seemed like he would be interesting to meet. She almost had to admire how deeply he loved this Harmona though. Trying to save her, bring her back to reality.

But Koopa never showed any interest in anyone. Especially males. So why would that start now? It wouldn't.

"Darcia, Darcia. Come out come out wherever you are."

Darcia spotted the red-furred Wolf on the screen and sighed faintly. “Seems like…another pest…” he muttered, then shook his head, looking away from the screens a moment before waving his hand in front f them, they seemed to turn off fading to black. He turned away from the wall and started to walk leaving the room he wondered what he should do about the trespasser, it seemed to be a lone wolf, no pack, so he doubted it would be any trouble if he let it alone, or killed it. Why could no one just leave him be?

He walked down into the hall and loomed a moment before thinking, he would leave the wolf alone, Harmona’s room was locked. And its not like he couldn’t handle a wolf. He wasn’t completely heartless, but he didn’t really care either. So he left the wolf be, whatever she wished to do. However he did roam his lonely halls perhaps waiting to see if he’d run into it. What would she want anyway? He shook his head and looked away silently he glided across the floors considering on stepping outside.

Finely he decided and threw open the doors to the outside, cold, world…. Glancing around as the ground around them remained snow toped. He glanced into the distance as if to look at the wolf, but then looked away and seemed to just look outside, getting form fresh air maybe?

[.::Element::.]

Koopa turned to face him as he threw open the doors.

"Darcia. You seem... disappointed. But I am not your usual pesky wolf. And I am not here to cause you trouble."

Koopa padded over to him, stopping short. She knew he wouldn't hesitate to kill her. And even Koopa was smart enough to know when to back off. She stood in front of him, orange eyes gazing at him intensely. So intensely he seemed as if he might catch on fire. Koopa smiled a devil-like smile. She had more interest in Darcia than she would ever admit.

[I'm still getting used to her, sorry for the shortness]

[Darcia]

[[NP, thank you for going easy on me so far lol ^^ for same reasons.]]


Darcia looked toward the red-she-wolf, as she spoke he just remained quite, eyeing her a second, naturally with his human eye, he wondered why she was here, if not to cause trouble, of course….saying that didn’t really make him suspect any less. He stood there a few moments cold wind blowing slighting though his hair, he didn’t mind, his skin didn’t ever seem as warm as it once was. Finely he took a deep breath turning away from the wolf but also spoke. “What. Then do you seek, wolf?” he asked calm and collected voice almost as cold as ice, and his blue eye.

[.::Element::.]

"Oh, nothing. I just happened to pass by so I thought I'd come and see your supposedly cursed castle. It is a free world, I can go where I want."

Koopa smiled devilishly at him. Funny, he was cold like ice, and she hot like fire. A bit of a difference between them. But that made things interesting. Koopa liked it that way. Yet she despised males. Strange. But Koopa was a strange wolf. That was how she liked it. She stayed on her paws, still slightly wary of Darcia. She would not let her guard down easy.

Darcia closed his eyes a moment really starting to wonder what this she-wolf wanted. Just to see if the place was cursed? She never hear of private property? The world wasn’t free. “The World…is anything by Free.” he stated plainly and turned back around to re-enter his keep. “there is a price….on everything.” he stated plainly then stepped inside, it was warmer, but not by much, and for some reason, he left the doors open instead of shutting them. “Tell me wolf…..what is the moon like tonight?” he stated plainly. “should you not be….back with your pack.” his voice echoed lightly as he continued walking.
