A Cold Cold Path
#16
Limping slightly through the thick, opaque blanket of darkness, Koal was beyond pissed. His violet eyes were red, as they hadn't changed back due to his injuries. His demonic instincts were screaming at him to get the hell out of here, and kill anything that got in his way. His skin and body shape flickered as he shoved down his transformations. It was excruciatingly painful, all stacked on top of the white-hot pain in his head. It felt as if he had a thousand needles stabbing the base of his skull. He's had three more visions since his escape from the creature at the cave. All three of them involved a man Koal had no memory of. A man with glowing yellow eyes and green skin. A man that used a revolver and had an abrasive attitude. 

Koal groaned as another wave of pain racked both his body and his mind. He needed to kill something; he needed to feed on the fear and desperation that the act would generate. He needed sun to survive, as gristly as it sounded. It was what demons fed off of. Dark emotions were Koals nectar and ambrosia. Things like greed, lust, pain, hatred. The list went on and on. Koal dug his nails into the soft flesh of his palm, drawing blood. He quickened his pace, his limp almost unnoticeable.

His eyes detected a hint of color, around a curve in the cave system, and he quickly crouched and approached it with caution. Finally finding a use for his transformations, he quickly focused on the image of a man-sized black wolf in his head. He felt his skin ripple, and his body was enveloped in a dark grey haze before reality shattered and pieces itself back together over the course of a minute. In Koals place, an ebony wolf stood, fur bristled and violet eyes narrowed. Fangs peeked from under the top lip, razor sharp and undoubtedly deadly. Creeping forward, Koal now peered out of the corner, his black fur blending him in expertly with the shadows at the tunnel mouth. 

A dancing flame was the first thing to catch his attention, the yellow and orange flames flicking back and forth as they consumed the air greedily. The figures around the Fire are what next caught the Demons eye. They were extremely diverse and some were kinda terrifying. Koal immeasurably picked up on the scent of murder, fear, insanity, and immediately drank in the emotions. He almost moaned at the relief that accompanied the act; his mind began to clear up considerably, and his headache dulled to an annoying throb. 

Shifting back to his human form, Koal released a breath and backed up from the cave, into something that wasn't there before. His instincts were the only reason he tended his body before a loud roar rang out, and he was tossed violently into the cave. Twisting in the air, Koal landed gracefully on his feet. No doubt his presence had been revealed now, but Koal had other matters to attend to, like the creature that had revealed him. The hideous troll moved into the dim fire-light, and growled. Koal bared his fangs in a fierce smile before charging the beast. The troll ran forward and met him head on, but Koal held his ground, and a flash of surprise sparked to life in its eyes before Koal twisted a planted a solid kick to its knee, a resounding crack signifying that the joint had been broken.

No, not broken. Shattered.

Koal grasped the trolls head with both hands clamping a hand over its mouth to cease its screams of pain, and another on the back of its head, and gave it a swift twist. It was dead an instant before it hit the ground. 

Koal turned and faced the group that now stood, slightly impressed with his display. His red eyes narrowed at the individuals before he stalked toward, to an individual that was horribly grotesque...And stick out his hand. 

"Salutations."
