Initial awakening

Raiju approached along with Shoro, following shortly behind him as if he was some kind of right hand man or perhaps a patsy? Upon seeing the small lesser yokai coated in a light blue skin, Raiju grinned. He remembered his time as a weak little baby just like the lesser infront of him, but he wasn't weak nor a baby any longer.

Lifting his arms out to the sides, Raiju flexed his girthy red muscles. The skin rippling in formation to reveal a mass of pure strength and veins hidden just underneath a leathery red hide.

[05:34:01] Shoro waddled around the Wychwood forest with his comrade, Raiju. They had learned the wonders of comradery, and what it could do for the hunt if they rallied up additional forces to help cannibalize their species. One yokai on it's own was hard to deal with, but if they amassed a group of five or six? Their strength would be unparallel! No one would be able to fight against someone like that. As he scanned the area, his eyes found a unique looking yokai.

A particularly moist one, his leathery skin dripping with sweat and his skin dark blue. Perhaps this one had some potential. At least, it stood out from the rest of the group. A dark aura presented itself, flowing around Shoro like a slow burning flame. Standing imposingly in front of Raiju, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and forced his voice into Tifon's head. The experience would be.. not so pleasant.

"FOLLOW US.. OR.. DIE."
(Shoro)
[05:42:33] Tifon looks up from a freshly killed lesser, a handful of yokai guts and entrails draped over the tiny imp. It gives a gurgling screech as the menacing pair approaches, never having seen a higher form of Yokai in it's life yet. Tifon raises up to try and challenge the approaching pair, the beginnings of a hiss peeling from it's lips.

But then the one in the front starts radiating flames of darkness that make the very air seem heavy. The hiss stops in it's throat as it's commanded by the other Yokai. It didn't really know what to do, but it could feel that it's very life was in danger. Which was a new sensation, since it had been slaughtering it's own kind since forming from that dirty puddle. It just kinda gives a grunt and a small impish shrug, skittering over and standing next to the non-darkness radiating one, shying away from the display of power. It would follow along, this wasn't worth dying over.
(Tifon)
Tifon was nervously standing between the two mega Yokai, waiting for them to direct it once more. But then the darkness cloaked one steps over and dominates a lesser, a dispressive play of might and mana. Tifon was fascinated by the display, yearning for such power and sheer strength. Hunger, consumption, and gaining power is all they had known.


"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Came the response to the command, dashing and diving at the body and beginning to dig in to the corpse, claws scooping out chunks of meat and bones and flesh, messily devouring them and swalloing the flesh down with wet smacks of it's lips and pleased growls.


Once the corpse is fully consumed, the blood drenched lesser rises to it's feet and turns to the glowing one, throwing it's head back, bringing it's arms out wide, and letting out a victorious roar as it feels the power surge through them! And then it kinda straightens out and goes back to trudging along behind the other. It was still a lesser for now.
(Tifon)
[06:07:18] The young Ryozo hummed loudly while sitting on the cliff, slowly going through her book and happily swinging her feet back and forth just to make the reading more enjoyable. Though her quiet moment quickly passed when she heard noises close to herself, soon she looked down and spotted a group of yokais that appeared to be communicating with one another.

With quiet grunt she closed her book before placing it in a bag, soon letting herself to drop from the ledge, commanding the blood around her to slowly descend down, step by step with alive, bubbling steps appearing under her feat, each lower than another until she finally reached the solid surface. Once she was at the same height as the yokai, she decided to roll her shoulders just incase the yokai were going to try do do anything stupid with her approaching them.

"So which one of us handles them?" the meaner side asked within the head before the one in control responded quietly to herself. "I will...you as always will simply cause problems which I hate..." the girl then cleared her throat and addressed the creatures before her with calm voice. "Hey you yokai, mind telling me why are you so loud over there? I was trying to read my book in peace and you disturb me...."

Shoro was in the midst of raising his hand a second time, his eyes finding another lesser as Tifon feasted.. before he heard footsteps in the grass. His head turned to the source of the disturbance. He could only understand bits and pieces of what the woman was saying. His brain hadn't fully developed yet, and it was a hard feat to communicate with even his own species. But he recognized that he couldn't mess with a humanoid yet, even with this newfound power.

The mega may have possessed the mindless hunger of his race, but he had a certain wit that allowed him to stay alive for this long. In what seemed to be a display of surrender, the mega pushed his voice into the blood magi's brain. It was very draining to communicate with a human, and he only managed to speak two words. The rest was incomprehensible whispering. Not a very pleasant experience for the human, probably.

"WE.. LEAVE."

And the yokai turned around, attempting to walk away.
(Shoro)
Raiju grunted in agreement with Shoro's decision to leave. Reaching down and grabbing the blue lesser yokai and placed them on their back like a koala mother taking care of their child. They'd proceed to follow along with Shoro, keeping an eye on the blood magi in hopes that this wouldn't break out into a fight.

Telepathically communicating to the lesser a few instructions, "Stay quiet and come."
(Raiju)
Tifon's eyes widened as the human descends from the cliff, blood bubbling around them. The Yokai felt a primal fear deep in their pitiful, weak lesser heart. This person would surely decimate the lesser. The lesser had planned on skittering to the side and watching the inevitable fight-- But then the larger yokai states their intent to leave and Tifon gives a scraw-- Right before being picked up by Raiju!

Tifon gives a pleasantly surprised chirp of approval as they settle onto Raiju's back, arms draping around them like a living, moist backpack. They give a little quiet wurble at the instructions and shrink down on their back to lessen their presence, not wanting to be killed by the human.
(Tifon)
The yokais response forced Sophia to sigh loudly as they prepared to leave, resulting with her rising her palm up in a wave just as she decided to address them one last time. "Oh well...visit once you get better at talking...I really wish I had someone to talk with, even a yokai...as long as they don't try and fight me..." she said with somewhat serious tone, for now observing the creatures as they tried to take their leave.

With quiet groan she covered her left eye as it suddenly began to pulsate with pain, with few black veins slowly appearing around it just as the pain began to get stronger and few blueish flames began to appear in general area where the yokai were just before dissapearing along with the pain. She hissed loudly and shook her head while still holding her eye just as her other side decided to speak within their head. "Well...seems like our eye decided to act as well...get back on the cliff to read...we need to figure out how to handle this if we want to avoid similar spams that Samueal had..."
