[i]The rough cloth of his cloak made a soft scrape as he scaled the wall. In his hand was only a single dagger. He was lightly dressed and lightly armed, but Ambition had come prepared.[/i]

Edited by Sliver Greylen: 4/6/2020 6:53:03 AM[i]There are several more cries along the wall, then all is calm aside from the slithering of Slivers. You hear the sound of metal and several pairs of boots scraping along the stone parapet. A deep, demonic voice echoed through the night from a figure right in front of you[/i] “Lord Sitri, the wallsssss have been sssssecured.” [i]Another pair of boots thumped towards the voice’s position and another deep voice, presumably Sitri’s, responded.[/i] “Good work Akuma... Were any able to raise the alarm?” “No, my lord. We cut through them like the maggotssssss they are.” [i]Akuma cackled a laugh after speaking.[/i] “Is that so? Then why is there one still breathing?” [i]The laughing abruptly cut off and Akuma spoke again. [/i] “Wh-what my lord? Impossible!” [i]The sound of metal boots clanked towards your position until they were right on top of you. On the way, a Sliver screamed as a boot half-smashed it.[/i]
-
[i]Ambition simply knelt and notched the ground once, twice before they arrived.[/i]
-
[i]A pair of glowing red eyes glared down at Ambition. Sitri, rose his hand until it almost touched Ambition’s head and several Slivers crawled slowly down his arm towards the crouching figure.[/i]
-
[i]Ambition made another strange notch with his dagger and, without so much as looking up, reached up to brush the Slivers away.[/i]
-
[i]As Ambition brushed away the Slivers, their hand felt deathly cold as it passed by Sitri’s arm. The Slivers fell to the ground upside down but quickly righted themselves and lunged at them. [/i]
-
[i]Ambition hops back and testingly crushes one under his boot.[/i]
-
[i]It shrieks in an inhuman way and white goo explodes out from where Ambition crushed it. The portion that remained uncrushed wriggled around in a death roll until it finally lay still. Sitri slowly lowered his hand back to his side.[/i] “I have never met a human that does not cower or run away from my presence. Tell me maggot, what is your name?”
-
[i]”Ambition—is one of them.” He continued stepping on the Slivers. “Y’know, these things are pretty squishy.”[/i]
-
[i]One of the surviving Slivers jumped up and attempted to latch on to Ambition’s leg. Sitri observed coldly.[/i] “That’s a shame you anger them, maggot. Now they will make your demise much more painful.” [i]Sitri turned to walk away as dozens more Slivers crawled up from the opposite side of the wall.[/i] [spoiler]By opposite I mean the side he came from.[/spoiler]
-
[i]Ambition, very spectacularly, flicked the Sliver off of him. He made another mark on the ground.[/i] “Alright. Here’s what’s gonna happen. I make two more marks on the ground, then you’ll die. Are you going to leave these little maggots to do your work, now?”
-
[i]Without hesitation, Sitri turned to be right in front of Ambition, crouched, and slowly peeled back his mask to reveal a half rotten head that was missing the flesh on its face. Insects scurried deeper into the fleshy parts as the light shown upon them.[/i] “You cannot kill what has already been killed.” [i]Sitri laughed and replaced his mask. He began walking away as the Slivers piled onto Ambition. [/i]
-
[i]Ambition whistled—or at least attempted to under all the Slivers.[/i] “You’re not a pretty sight. Anyways, I’ve died before, too, so by your logic I’m pretty much immortal, right?” [i]He quite literally began dragging himself around under the weight of the Slivers, making careful incisions in the wall beneath him.[/i]
