Welcome to Gaia! ::

Duo sighed. She looked so innocent. He almost felt guitly telling her the truth. Almost. "Hmm.. where to start. Let's see... A man Tenebre attacked the house... I was standing inside and the blast knocked me into to you... And I believe you got a gash from my dagger hilt." He didn't mention anything about being safe... He had no idea if she was or wasn't. But for some reason, he did not want to kill her. She seemed to be a good person.

Sunoka grunted as she rubbed her hands down her face to wake up faster. Then, she turned her head toward Duo. "Wait, you! Your voice! Aren't you that 'Maxwell' guy?" She growled, remembering that she heard his voice in the room before she fell unconcious. "And, weren't you the one that 'warned' us about Tenebre's attack?" Although, she couldn't be too angry at him, even if he was working with Tenebre. He did warn them, but was that the only reason she wasn't furious?

Duo sighed... Her ears were inhanced due to her blindess... otherwise she probably won't have put his two characters together. He got up and paced his room. "Listen. I tried to warn you... well... I don't know why! But still you should be grateful that I was there... If I were not standing in front of you, you would be dead from the blow from Tenebre." he then paused and walked back up to her. Why was he taking special note of girl? Perhaps it was because he pitied her. He took her hand. "My fair Lady, Let me reintroduce myself. I am Duo Maxwell, Master of the Shadows. Please call me Duo... if it pleases you." Though little did he know, the human half of his heart beat once again when he first laid eyes on the girl. The emotions were still there, buried under the layers of evil that had cinsumed his heart.

Minda crossed her arms. "Well.. Looks like I missed the fight.. In any case, since no one was kind enough t invite on your adventure, I guess I shall invite myself." She glanced over at Mona, a smirk on her face.

Duo bit back the harsh reply he wanted to say. "I brought you with me because I thought it would be more suitable for a lady to be with me. Unless you want me to give you to Tenebre. I'm sure he has some way of torturing you." He actually questioned himself. Why did he bring her here. He sighed, mad at himself. He was making stupid decisions.

Tenebre growled, but he got an idea when he saw Sarri.
"Guess what, little girl? You get the privilege of hearing this thing..."
He kicked Michael in the stomach.
"Scream until I think he's ready to be of use to use again."
He grabbed both of his prisoners, then three Michael into one room, Sarri into another.

Michael slowly came into consciousness when he saw Tenebre standing over him. He was chained to the wall, but it seemed they lead to a second chain hanging from the ceiling near Tenebre, just out of reach. Tenebre looked like he was very excited.

"This room is soundproofed, so you won't hear anything from outside. But the other prisoners will, and that will affect their moral. Now, I was told not to kill you...so I came up with something that will make me AND him happy."

He grabbed a knife and dipped it in some odd liquid, then stabbed it into Michael's arm. It hurt, but it also burned like his wound was on fire. He yelled, and was about to claw at the wound when Tenebre pulled the chain and Michael's bonds were shortened and his limbs pulled to the point his tendons almost snapped. Michael began shouting in pain, loudly before Tenebre released the bonds.

"This is an acid that burns the skin, but it passes through metal. Now...lets see just how effective it is..."
He grabbed the vial that he had dipped the knife in and dumped it on Michael, who screamed and writhed in agony. Tenebre's eyes lit with glee and he left, leaving Michael completely isolated for hours...

"Sarri too?!" Mona exclaimed.
Worry crossed Zelda's face. Sarrianna was her bodyguard, her friend. Looks like the tables have turned on them. "Let's go, and go now."
"Agreed. Let's head to the stables."

Michael was in complete isolation, not even being fed or given water. normally, this wouldn't be too bad, but Michael didn't have any fat on his body to give him reserves. Slowly, Michael's muscles weakened. But soon Michael tried to get out of the bods while he could, and right after Tenebre showed up with another vial of the liquid.
Wakey wakey,organic waste.
He poured more acid on Michael, but even through his armor, Michael's body was burning. He thrashed, but suddenly the chains shortened again. After a few agonizing moments, Tenebre held up a bucket of the same substance.
Michael's eyes widened with fear.
"I'll tell you what you want me to tell you."
Tenebre's eyes flashed.
Not good enough.
He dumped the entire bucket on Michael, and Now Micahel was screaming and thrashing, cursing. He kept on screaming for almost an hour, and it wasn't as if the pain slowly lessened, it was burning until it suddenly stopped. Tenebre motioned to the door.
I'll dump at least one bucket on you each day until I either run out of buckets, or when I feel you are ready.
Moblins started walking in with buckets, hundreds of them. More and more kept coming in, and Michael's began to squirm in fear.
"I swear I'll tell you everything...I swear....I SWEAR!"
Nope, still not enough.
Tenebre poured another bucket on him, dipping the knife in it and cutting Michael, all day long.
Finally, Tenebre left, leaving Michael again all alone. He began to entertain fantasies of Tenebre suddenly barging in and doing it all over, remembering the cuts, the pain.
