Demons in the Snow (PvP)

[Dawnika Snow]

Although she had yet used them, Dawn found swift satisfaction in her new extremities. Sure she knew the demon was expanding her influence, but she could not deny the benefits of this intrusion. A sniper with wings.

Koal’s face was sour as he explained his previous life before the Omniverse. She could not judge him. Life is tough for a lot a people and many get hit hard by the truth of a dark past. It took but a moment for her to respond though.

“Although you may not see it, I think your demons were telling you that you weren’t ready to die. That’s why they gave you the power you have now. To stop what happened to you, and make sure no one else suffered the horrible fate those cretins put you through.” She explained. “You’re not worse than I. I killed over 30 men for revenge. Simply because I hated them. I may have very well damned myself for doing what I did. It might be why this demon is trying to possess me, but it’s all in you to decide what true evil is. It’s what a vigilante does.”

The vigilante’s words had some merit, but that did not change what he had done. “I didn't do it to protect anyone. I did what I did for revenge, and revenge only. Nothing over righteous.”

“Whatever reason you did it, you still stopped an operation that killed and tortured innocent people. That’s more than heroic to me.” She explained folding her wings behind her back. She placed her hands near the fire trying to warm up as snow blew down the cave from shifting winds in the blizzard. Koal said not a word. Not often he is rendered speechless, but in this moment he could not conceive a response. The moment of silence passed on. Dawn looked up at him, he was still trying to form some counter-argument.

“You can stand and think of something to make yourself sound horrible, or you can accept that you did something for the benefit of others. That demon was your angel.” She said looking back down at the fire. Silent anger rose into Koal's veins. Dawn could feel the tension in his silence.

“Sorry. I understand it's tough to admit. I blamed myself so long for my father's death.”

"How the hell am I supposed to justify the lives I've taken with that? I ripped apart families, killed fathers, sons, mothers, daughter... and I enjoyed it." He said angrily, trying to contain his rage. The vigilante shot up in anger just as much as the demon in front of her.

“They tore your family apart and they enjoyed it! That satisfaction was was with good reason!” She yelled angrily in Koal’s face over the fire. The stared at each other, bit in a rage of their own kind. Everything she was saying made sense, and that was probably why Koal was so enraged by the words. Dawn took a few deep breaths to calm herself and sat back down against the wall. She looked outside at the blizzard again, which had started to die down by now.

“I can tell you aren't with those maniacs that my allies are fighting. Why are you here?” She asked him. Although her perceptive skills were on point, she had no explanation made for that.

“I needed answers and Ballad had them. It's that simple.” He replied, sitting back down against the wall.

“I see. Did you get what you wanted?”

“We had a chat, but I did not get the information I was looking for, no.”

“Then why are you standing here? My boss is going to kill him before long. You might want to go.” She said motioning him down the cave.

“What about you?” He said.

“I'm going to come with you, because if I don't he’ll try to kill you too.” The vigilante rose back up to her feet and motioned him to follow. “I'd like my glove back too.”
