First Cycle of Pontius, Season of Winter
She was running, pushing branches out of her way as she pursued her quarry. It felt good to be back on the hunt, the stink of Rhasic blood in the air and on the ground, a trail that she followed to the man that ran from his ill-fate. The Rhasic Jade followed was not one that was aware of the knowledge that flowed through his veins, he knew nothing of the crime his ancestors had commited and so truly, he was an innocent. But Jade didn't feel sorry for the man, she had moved past caring for the innocent Rhasic because she had been convinced that none of them were truly innocent, the Rhasic could easily rise up against the Sanguine once more and try to hurt them, there were so many of them and so little of the Sanguine, Jade couldn't allow herself to fail in protecting the Krevion once again.
The man, who was rather poor and living his life as a thief to feed himself and his two children had chosen to rob her, feeling that she looked like the sort of woman that didn't need a few crowns. A frail looking man with old dirty clothes and shaggy brown hair, he didn't look like much but he had quick hands. Jade and Nymira both sensed him nearby, but it wasn't until Jade felt crowns being lifted from her pouch did she notice where he was. Nymira, who had been in human form at the time, ripped the emerald from her neck and began her transformation back into a Virkyn, the process hurting both sisters terribly and gave Devan a chance to run in terror. The crowns weren't worth his life! Not when he had Layla and Deedra at home waiting for him. He took off, when he heard both creature and woman in pursuit, he threw the crowns back, begging them to let him alone and to take their crowns back. Poor man didn't understand that it was his blood they wanted.
Jade had thrown Aganadara, but being that she wasn't particualrly skilled in throwing daggers, the blade skinned his side and that was it, but it did help by leaving a blood trail, one that both sisters could follow, the tang of his blood filling the air, driving both sisters almost crazy with the need to kill. They needed to kill him before he reached Natura and the spring, she didn't need him telling anyone that a woman and black beast were after him, Austin would be alerted surely and he would know who the culprits were. Devan mentioned his children in hopes that this would sway his would-be-killers, but he only damned his daughters as well, for they couldn't be allowed to live and produce more Rhasic, that needed to be nipped in the bud quickly, but they would find the two girls once their father was dispatched.
