Just Sleep, Just Dream (Open)

[Shaddi]

With a smile Erebos let Deio lead the way while he held on to Dahlia. This place that Deio had spoken of had intrigued him a little. With how energetic and lazy at the same time [member="Petri"] seemed before he fell asleep on Dahlia's belly also amused Erebsos. "Well then let us depart hm?" He said to Deio and was then ready to follow him to the abandoned house he had spoken of.

Deio led them through the dimly lit streets, making sure to have a hand on his father's dagger at all times. When the small group reached the neighborhood, Deio began to walk more slowly, to make sure he didn't miss the house, though he doubted he would. When they came to a worn down, completely dark house with an overgrown lawn and a broken window, Deio stopped.

"Welp. This is it. Home sweet home." He mumbled the last bit and reached into his pocket, taking out the ring of keys and, choosing the smaller one, unlocked the house.

The first thing the group would notice was that the place was actually very well kept except for the outside appearance, as if the inside was preserved. The next thing they would notice was the blood. Red blood stains on the floor and a few splattered stains on the wall.

Deio held back tears at the sight of his parent's blood, and reverently guided the group around the two pooled blood stains. He led them into his mother's mini infirmary/kitchen. A beautiful blue translucent plant with diamond colored flowers and soft mint-like leaves grew wild from a shattered potted plant. Remembering his mother treating wounds from her battles with the Red Ravens, he climbed on the counter and opened the cupboard, where a few glass vials of a liquid the same color as the plant's leaves. Taking one gently, Deio climbed back down and walked over to [member="Darth Erebos"] and his sister.

"Um, could you set my sister down for a bit? This is a healing herb from my mother's home planet. She called it Ethalos"

The house surprised T'zanith quite a bit as he entered it. The bloodstains began to make him formulate something reminiscent of a story about [member="Deio and Dahlia Leafwalker"] in his mind and he followed Deio around the house into the kitchen/infirmary. As he placed Dahlia on one of the beds he could find and moved [member="Petri"] on another pillow near them. 'I guess I'll let the little guy sleep then.' He thought as he then looked towards Deio. "This was where you lived isn't it?" T'zanith said as he seemed to look at Deio and sat next to Dahlia.

A loud bang would be heard from the house, particularly from the roof as the large creature would pounce onto it, with a loud grunt, before scowling down the side of the building. Peering through one of the windows, watching them calmly before narrowing his eyes. "Hello, little ones." He would snicker outwards, before continuing down the building and making his way to the front of the building.

Deio started. He hadn't expected a straightforward question, but he knew he should have known taking strangers to a place like this would raise questions. He nodded as he took some of the precious liquid onto his palm and then rubbed it on Dahlia's neck gently, so the minty scent would open her lungs and let her breathe a little easier.

"Y-yes, this was wh-where we lived.." Then Deio heard a thump on the roof and some loud scurrying. He yelped when he noticed [member="Honas'di"] in the window.

"Wh-what was that? Is it coming to hurt us?" He heard the being snicker and more scratching as it made its way down.

"I-I can't l-let it desecrate a place of memory by spilling blood. It is vile to do such a thing." Deio stood up and drew his father's dagger.

Erebos smiled gently towards Deio before he turned his head so that his ear was towards the window were [member="Honas'di"] had decided to peer through. The fear of the boy hit Erebos almost immediately and as the knife was thrown he sighed. Without moving even a muscle he plucked the knife from the air and moved it slowly almost lazily to himself as he then moved his hand to take it out of the air and knelt down while he handed it back to Deio. "Do not throw something like this at things that are no longer there. If it comes in here there will be no blood spilt here. I can see this place means a lot to you." He said almost with the gentleness of a father to Deio before he stood up and moved his hand into his pocket and pulled out his lightsaber. "Now this will be our little secret all right." He said with a sneaky but playful smile and turned towards where he saw Honas'di would come into the room from.

Once inside the room Erebos would ignite his blade and with it's snap hiss and crackling hum afterwards, along with it's black cored red blade would show just what he was but not who he was. "I give you one more chance, Acolyte! Leave now or I will show you the difference between us." The calm kind voice that he had been using since the beginning had turned cold and emotionless with ian almost deathlike calm within it as well.

A wide almost chilling grin would appear across the tall creature's face, showing a full set of sharp teeth. Stained with blood. "The difference between us? That would be that I'm twice your size." He snickered out, before holding his hands outwards in a sense of peacefulness. Before gesturing with his right hand for the lord to disignite his blade.

"You think with too much haste. I'm not here to harm them, but to assist you." He said, in a twisted, dark voice. Before his eyes would turn to the children, licking his lips. "Though, they do look tasty."

Deio nodded, but kept his knife at the ready. When the beast-man entered, Deio stood in front of his sleeping sister's body, and raised his knife in a defensive stance. But even still, [member="Honas'di"]'s chilling smile made his hands shake in fear. The beast man had to bend over just so his head did not hit the ceiling of the little house, for being smaller was a trait that ran in Deio's family. He didn't speak, for fear that his voice would give away the fear he felt, even when the thing said it was here to help.

Dahlia could sense her brother's fear, and reached out subconsicously, not knowing that her actual arm was moving and grabbing her brother's hand. She mumbled in her sleep.

"Deio, nányë sinomë." Deio felt someone take his hand and saw the still sleeping Dahlia's hand clutching his own, which made him feel a little better. Her mumbling was only heard by Deio, who smiled troubledly. (I am still here, Deio)

Turned off his saber and put it back into the inner pocket of his clothes as he looked [member="Honas'di"] over. "What is it you are here to help with? and how?" He then asked, his voice still calm and emotionless as he placed his hand on Deio's shoulder to reassure the boy a little. Despite seeming to have disengaged He was ready to bring his full force power to bear if the creature before him turned out to be lying to him.

A wide yet subtle smile would break through as he nodded, eyeing the Sith, before facing to the children. "I can do many things, what do you want child?" He spat out, towards the small child somewhat attempting to force a friendly tone though failing miserably. He would turn on his heels slamming the door shut, before cracking his fingers.
