It had been a few days since Blaire and Siek had crashed onto Earth and met the quiet Sythiuss. The three had set off for a town, and were nearly reaching their destination.
Akuencas. Not exactally your nice neighborhood. It had always been an attraction for hate and unrest, but it had managed to calm down a bit since Oiron's...defeat. It did, of course, still have it's problems, and now was finding itself home to some rather unwanted guests.
For the moment, the Kurakushon Prince and his forces were staying in the small rathole of a town, planning to make their move.
Blaire and Siek were quite unaware of this all, the ever talkative younger alien, Blaire, happy to be finding something. The black-clad Kurakushon, Siek, would grumble a few things, unintelligible except to Blaire, uncertain about what would come.
"Alright, we're almost to this town here," Blaire exclaimed, repeating what he'd been saying for quite some time now. This caused a mumble from Siek, possibly from annoyance and wishing his companion to be quiet.

Although Sythiuss could not understand their language, he was able to understand Siek's current feelings towards the mouthy Blaire, and agreed with them. He remained silent and vigilant, however, always ready for a confrontation, obsessed with never being caught flat footed.
After the ninth or tenth "We're almost there", Sythiuss clacked his mandibles in annoyance, but bit his tongue. He had to endure this to reach town...and if he killed one, he would have to kill the other, and he would rather not have any innocent blood on his hands at the present.
The rhythmic sound of their feet hitting the ground hypnotized him into becoming lost in his thoughts, his alertness fading away into his day-dreaming. Had the warrior noticed this, he would have rebuked himself and gone back to attention almost immediately. However, some force stronger than his formidable willpower was at work here. At least, so it seemed. He remained in this state, plodding along at the same pace, not really noticing what he passed.

Blaire said something to Siek in their native tongue, to which the other replied in the same language.
Something moved in the surrounding trees, but none of the trio noticed until it had moved in front of them.
He looked young, shorter than both Siek and Blaire, though he was obviously a Kurakushon as well. "Welcome brothers," His voice further proved his young age. He eyes Sythiuss, but otherwise ignored his presence.
"What do you want?" Blaire asked, recognizing something about the boy.

Sythiuss walked up next to Blaire, somewhat annoyed at the sudden halt of their progress.
"Who is this child?" he said, clacking his mandibles impatiently as he took in the creature's scent. He was anxious to get to their destination, to see if the denizens of this planet could truly challenge him, and this little lizard was certainly preventing him from doing that. He noted the displeased look on Blaire's face, and the hint of disgust in his tone.
"Would you like me to slay him? He certainly would not be much sport..." he said coldly as he eyed the little fellow up and down.

(666th post in this section! ) The young Kurakushon chuckled. "I am no pushover." He spoke with a bit of a strange accent. "You can ever ask your friends there." Blaire grimaced. "He's one of the Prince's higher-ups....very dangerous..."

"Is that a challenge? Push over or not, you impede our progress, and I will remove any who impede me." the bounty hunter growled. He had learned thousands of techniques from his travels, a battle-hardened veteran who always fought to the death. His mere living proved his skill. This little boy had obviously had some sort of training that had proved itself effective, or else that big, arrogant smirk would not have been plastered on his face. He was extremely inclined towards wiping it off of his face, though he was doing a good job of hiding his animosity, he could not help but twitch his fingers as if to activate the energy scythes on his wrists, but he defeated the urge.
He clacked his mandibles in obvious annoyance. The child's confidence angered him in ways that even he could not explain. To see people defer to such a broodling, it just did not feel right. This planet was filled with cowards, as far as he was concerned. There was little chance that he would die here, little chance that his fondest wish could be granted.
His attention, once again, was on the youth, his eyes burning with a mix of hatred and respect.

"Challenge?" The young Kurakushon laughed, finding the idea hilarious. "Tempting, but I do not have the time." His accent was harsher than Blaire's, whose went nearly unnoticable, but his english was near perfect. There was a strange gleam in his eyes. It was obvious that there was more to this child than there appeared to be.
He reached a clawed hand out to the strange trio, as if offering them something. "Blaire, Siek."
Both of them tensed, Blaire more noticeably than Siek. It seemed he knew something of the boy.
"Prince Kukura asks for your presence," He spoke in english for Sythiuss' sake. "We plan an attack on the Vakwoji." The smile that crossed his face was mischevious, his eyes narrowed slightly. There was more to this.
Blaire was hesitant, glancing around nervously. Siek muttered something in their strange language, possibly a curse of some sort by the rough tone in his voice. The conflict in Blaire's mind was plain on his face. This decision...to fight with them or not...seemed a tough one for him.

Sythiuss stepped forward, unafraid of whatever foolishness this creature might have up his sleeve, and hoping this would speed up the decision they had to make a bit.
"I have no affiliation with your kind...but I make a living off of death. Is my simple affiliation with these two enough to gain me an audience with your Prince?" he said in a cold and collected manner.
