[Jacob]

*Setting: Night time and the Reptilians barked and growled quietly amongst themselves, excited by their Lords sudden determination to corrupt the outcast Reptile, Injin. He was stood in the center of the cavern now, the Reptiles surrounding him, yet a few yards away, and cawing viciously. Melik was stood towards the back of the cavern, looking on at the hordes as they excitedly prepared for something they knew nothing about. Maybe it was excitement of the unknown. He didn't know, or care for that matter...*

Obitus: "MELIK!!"

Upon hearing his name the Reptilian Lord pushed his way through the crowd of followers. There was a time when they would have moved out of the way for him, bowing their heads, but not anymore.

Melik: "Sire...?"

Pushing past the Reptilians stood at the front he then made his way towards the God. Obitus looked at him, his eyes glowing red with anticipation.

Obitus: "Melik, i need you to gather more bretheren. Amas the hordes of Reptilians througout Mudos. We will need many more to form a substantial army..."

He looked around the cavern, looking at his followers. There were around 5, maybe 600 Reptilians all hidden in this dank, dark cavern. Melik looked around, feeling that the number was substantial enough to mass an attack.

Melik: "But sire, surely our numbers aaare more thaaan substaaantiaaal??"

He asked this with curiosity, yet knew there was a danger of it been taken the wrong way. And it was. Obitus' claw immediatly wrapped around Meliks snout, clamping it shut as he looked the small Reptilian in the eye.

Obitus: "Idiot. You really think i would attack the Dracconic realm with this meager number?? Dont believe you know more than me, Melik. I served in that Dimension for more than three centuries. I know the layout and the numbers more than a mere mortal like you..."

He pushed Melik back, watching as he fell on his back awkwardly.

Melik: "Yes m'lord. I aaapologise..."

He looked at the God with bitterness in his eyes but said what he knew the God wanted to hear. Slowly he picked himself up and shook himself off.

Melik: "But sire, how aaam i to aaamaaas more when the Orkhids aaare surrounding the aaareaaa? Aaand whaaat if they breaaach the caaave...?"

Both points were of grave concerns to the God and would surely hinder his plan. But he shrugged the concerns off and looked towards the cavern entrance.

Obitus: "The Orkhids will not know the cavern is here..."

Holding his right arm up he pointed an index claw to the opening, slowly the rocks began grow, sealing the entrance up. He turned to the crowd who were in complete blackness.

Obitus: "No creature shall attempt to leave..."

To give light to the darkened dwellings he held out his arm with his palm facing upwards. A small red ball of fire formed on the middle of his palm, this then grew brighter and quickly hurtled itself up into the air. Hitting the cave roof and setting it alight surreally. The Reptilians all cooed softly, watching the fire expand but not go out of control.

Obitus: "And you, Melik. You shall be bestowed with some basic powers. The power of dispersal, allowing you to move throughout Mudos with alarming speed and stealth. Teleportation, allowing you to transport followers to this very cave in a mass quantity. And finally, the power to be able to focus energy...to be able to disintergrate foes by amassing and controlling a force from the palms of your claws..."

Saying the last word he threw a small blue spherical object towards the Reptilian. It was no bigger than a Golf ball but pushed the creature back as it impacted with his chest. Meliks eyes glowed intensly, subsiding as the power was absorbed.

Melik: "S-Sire, thaaankyou..."

He bowed down to him like a Dog to its owner. And within a blink of an eye dispersed into black particles. Obitus smiled, knowing that his plan was almost complete, all he had to do was to get Injin...

***

*Setting: Chirping wildly the small Reptilian being bounded around the burrow. Leaping on the walls of the small dwellings and then throwing itself off as if practicing its agility. Injin was out finding food again, he wasn't intending on been long as the night was dark and the Orkhid Soldiers were usually more alert when night had taken ahold. Entertaining itself until Injin returned, the child had formed a close bond with its foster parent and vice versa. Injin was even teaching the being how to talk more clearly. Its chirping stopped. A feeling dropped down upon it, an unknown feeling, a worrying feeling. A small whimper came from it as it backed away towards the back of the burrow, voices started to whisper throughout its small home. The darkness the creature hid and played in slowly became lighter and as it watched it saw the outline of what looked to be another Reptilian. Its Heart slowly began to speed up, not knowing whether it was in danger or not. And then the darkness spoke...*

Being: "Dont worry, child. Your death will mean Injins rebirth..."

The voice was raspy and low. The beings face became more apparent. Its eyes a shining red, its snout long and pointed. A claw reached from the darkness, clenched tightly. The child gasped and scraped at the back wall, wanting to breakout and escape. Slowly the beings fist unclenched, revealing three bullets. Gently these bullets floated in the air, hovering like Hornets...the creatures eyes flashed, the bullets sped forwards, letting out a rupturous and mysterious 'bang' as they sailed towards the small Reptilian. Its eyes gaped opened, its jaw hanging. Blood stained the wall behind it and slowly seeped out of the wounds, it fell forwards, struggling for breath. And as the murderer watched he smirked, watching as its soul gently hovered out of its body. Nothing more than a green cloud with the childs faint outline in the middle of it and as it prepared to go forth into Reptilian bliss, it was quickly devoured. Obitus moaned gently as the soul was absorbed...he then made himself scarce, awaiting for Injin to return...
