Lair of Insanity (2)

Sheets and blankets lay strewn about the room  The mattresses had even been pulled from the bed.  Feathers slowly fluttered to the grown from a ripped open pillow. 

Moruchtuil tossed the now limp casing aside.  He wiped the sweat from his brow on the back of his arm.  The energy in his system was still not spent and he had no idea why.  Looking about the room, he found he could not remember why he had gone on such a frantic search through everything.  What was missing?

He let out a long, feral roar that might have rivaled that of his war lion if he had the voice for it.  Instead he found the sound nerve wracking as his throat screamed about its parched state.  He swallowed hard.

The door slammed open to reveal the druchii he so loved to hate.  His lips curled back into a snarl as his hands clenched.  She looked like a nice punching bag. 

"I see ye managed to make a mess."

His brows furled into a frown as he wondered about her all too nice tone.  His body tensed as if ready to leap as she stepped closer.  Just one more step and he could punch her so hard in the nose it might push the brain out the back of her head.  He swung knowing it was the right timing, but found his connecting with nothing but air. 

"I think ye're ready." 

She stood so close that they should have been touching.  The thin space between them seemed charged with energy or was that the strange energy he felt within him.  He sure was ready for something, but he doubted he would like whatever she had planned.

"Why don't you just kill me so hard I can't come back and be over with it?"

"And where is the fun in that?  You will help me and like it."

He growled as he tried to push her away, but found her clinging to him and kissing him.  He pulled away gasping for air not liking any of this.  His eyes traveled to the one large window of the room.  A window that overlooked the mountains outside and nothing but a gorge lay below.

"I like this side of you."

"Oh, no you don't."

He grabbed her tight and careened them into the glass windows with all the energy and rage he felt within.  The windows gave way with an explosion of glass and cracking wood.  The cold air rushing past them as they fell made him howl with delight.  Her scream of terror made him laugh until the sudden stop at the end.
