The mist clung to her slim form as she glided swiftly through the night. Dendera narrowed her eyes as she shot a bolt through the air. A silent scream cut through the air as her prey fell to the ground as heavy dead weight.
She didn't like this life anymore than she did the last, but it was survival. In this world, the demons came out to play, and there was no one standing in their way. Dendera sighed as she moved the hair out of the boy's face. This job wasn't the first, and wouldn't be the last.
Beads of sweat lined her brow as she pulled the crossbow bolt loose from his neck. She sighed in disguest at the black blood crusting the surface as she threw it aside. She loved the physically jobs to be quick and clean. Her main abilities lied in creating mental instability around her.
The mist parted around her to show a near ghost town. A window shut above her, and she walked down the streets to bitter emptiness. A war was coming, and she had yet to choose sides. A world domination verses the silent screams of desperation. unfortunately, there was no way off this world, and all that was left behind was gone. Vanished into the midst of shadows.

Dimitri sat at the bar knowing well that it was still early but days had grown darker quickly and that less and less people were in the town. He only hoped that his family was still safe. "I don't got a good feeling about tonight. Somethings gonna happen here." He thought to himself as he heard the doors to the bar open but noone was there.

Arian leaned against the doorway as if he didn;t have a care in the world. He checked to see if his hood was securely in place before walking towards the bar. He nodded to the bartender. "The usual. You'll get your pay," Arian replied smoothly to the bartender's raised eyebrow. He ignored the sneer, and sat beside the stranger.
"New to these parts?"

Arian pulled back his hood to show his newly poilished canines to the stranger. He loved to make the new people skirm under his gaze. "I'm in a merchant in this part of the world. Rough times we're having, eh?" He licked his chops as the bartender brough his drink. He just loved a good drink. "At least, it's been rough on the neutrals. It's hard to stay neutral anymore. Just ask my companion, Dendera, behind you." He nodded to her.

"If you were trying to scare me or something like that it didn't work. I've seen alot and been through alot so its gonna take more than that. However though that is ilrealavent for now. What type of merchant are you?" Dimitri asked in calm voice.

"And kind you need. In the market for something? I could have it out to you in days," Arian replied smoothly as Dendera sat down to wipe the bloos off her daggers. One of these days, Dendera was going to be bad for business. She always acted first and asked questions later.

Dimitri laughed "Yea you could say that Im in the market for something. But a differnt market then you." He pointed to his shirt. "If you understand the picture then you might know who I am if you've been here before."

"I get around a lot, if you know what I mean," Arian said as he watched the man over his mug of ale. "Never visit the same place twice. Arian Drudarity, at your service. What will you have me do?" He flung a piece of foam from his ale at his companion. She glared at him in warning.

"I don't need to purchase anything unless you happen to have something that can give me back my family." Dimitri paused for a moment. "d**ned demons tooks them from me while I was doing a mission." He sighed cause the thought of demons mad me him mad but he was trying to control himself.

Dendera's eyes glinted as she tossed the rag back to the bartender. He grunted at having to clean blood off his cloths. "Anyone I know of? I might have come across your family while doing some fieldwork. Unlike Arian here, I go where I'm needed."

"Only if you've been here in the past the month when people started disappearing. My wife and children were taken when I was mission to go into a demon filled cave however there weren't many there when we arrived. Those of us that came back found that most of the towns people where gone...most of us had our families taken or where killed because they resisted. I regret that day so much...." A tear could be seen forming in Dimitri's eye although he was a mercanary he cared for those that he worked with and most of all his family.

Dendera bit her lip in concentration. "I don't think I've been here for three weeks. If there was a massacre, I wasn't a part of the actual killing. I do small jobs; one's that people are willing to pay large for revenge. Call me what you will, but I'm on nobody's side but my own."

"I was on noones side until my family, friends, and town were attacked by them. I think Ill call you what I am, a mercanary. And if its not what you call yourself your close enough to one." Dimitri sighed "I don't know where to find them though or where to start....Im pretty sad excuse for a mercanary right now..."

Dendera tapped her fingernails against the daggers. "I could possibly dig in the underground for you. It'd be a small price to pay. I have no connections, and they know I don't choose sides. All they would think is that I'm looking for a new job. How do I know you aren't going to stab me in the back for this?"
