... The shadow sat down, tentacle tails twisting and wreathing amongst one another. It's empty eyes blinked, and then glanced over its shoulder.
"If you don't actually want to fight, then I'll just go back to what I was doing."

"Nope, you started this. Looks like I have to be the one to finish it." She shook her head. Men! ...I think its a male at least. She attacked it and fought to her best ability. Sadly, she was no match but she just kept coming back. Not giving up for a single second.
It wasn't sad desperate attacks she was giving out. It seemed more like she was training off of him. She was playing a deadly game...

He was impressed. For someone so young, she was intelligent. She kept herself alive, and was actually using him as something to train off of... How cute.
But he was done playing around. The longer it drew out, the more tired she became, and as soon as she became weak enough, the shadow dissipated and the real him came out from behind her, slammed her to the ground and pinned her down. His tendrils, like thick vines, helped tie her to the ground.
"Give up, you can't outmatch me."

She growled at it and snapped. "I was just waiting for the real you to show your face!" Her third tail glowed a soft blue-purple and a tidal wave appeared out of no where! It crashed down on both on them. Her magic was gone. She saved up the last of it for that last attack. It didn't hurt her all the much and she wasn't sure if it would work on him.
Her eyes were slowly closing. She didn't have the energy to stay awake. If it was truly a coward it would kill her in her sleep. Only time could tell what would happen. All she knew was that she fought with all she had.

The water soaked his fur, but he was embedded in both her and the ground. She was falling unconscious now, and he stepped off of her, tangling his black vines around her and pinning her to the ground more and more so that when she did wake up she wouldn't be able to interfere with his plans. He walked back over to the wall of fire and observed it more.
Sure he had observed it plenty before, but the kind of observing he was doing took days upon days. He was observing the way the energy moved through the Monument, and looked for the source. It could take a whole entire century longer for him to completely understand how it worked, and how to unravel and tap into its power...

She woke up a few days later. Tired, hungry, thirsty and tied up... "Hey. Untie me." She managed to call out. God she was tired but at least she was alive. It was nice. Well it was time for her to move on. She saw the damn thing and didn't care about what it did. She would find power her own way.

The kitsune was still, his eyes surveying a part of the circle. He had completed his observation for the year, he was just being "kind" enough to wait until the other kitsune to wake up. Glancing over his shoulder, he flickered and summoned two shadows.
The shadows quickly moved away, and within a handful of minutes they returned, one with a large ball of soaking moss and another with a dead vole. "There." His voice floated in the air for a moment, as the vines loosened around most of her body, only holding her back legs and tails now.

"Thats not why I wanted to be untied..." She muttered but ate the food anyway and drank the water from the moss. "I wanted to be untied so I can leave." She finished as she licked her chops.

"You're lucky to have survived. There are plenty of kitsune as young as you that wouldn't live through using all of their magic." This time, the voice sounded impressed in a reserved way, like a parent trying to scold a child...but still very proud. "If you wish to leave, you can." The vines disappeared. "I was only making sure you didn't do something rash."
His eyes stared at her-- they seemed vast and empty-- as he made the air vibrate with magic in order to speak with her, as if wasting his time to use his vocal cords wasn't worth it. "Talent shouldn't be killed purposelessly."

"Heh, Is this real or am I still sleeping. Someone complementing me?" She laughed. "About time." She stood up like she was perfectly fine. "And it wasn't luck. Thanks, good luck with whatever." She trotted off to find a new victum. Oh wait, this could be her chance! If not...oh well.
She trotted back and asked, "Do you know anything about Soul Magic? Spirit Magic?"

"I know a lot of things you don't," the kitsune replied, sounding distant, as if focused on something else. His form shifted, changing into a more natural form. His fur rippled as if in the wind, and seemed as soft as a rex fur. His eyes were grey, but constantly changing in the light, looking almost blueish sometimes and gold another. He had a deep notch in his ear, and his paws still had puffs of shadow streaming off of them.
He looked at her in a quizzical way, amusement clear in his expression as an ear twitched down slightly. "Why, would you like to learn from me?"

"Only if you do. If not, do you know where I can find someone who will?" She paused for a minute. "You know, thats not ****ing annoying as hell." She made a face. (T___T)

"... I'm annoying you?" He asked, tail swishing- even they were jet black but now normal. The tips of them had the same flickering black shadows billowing off of them, though. "I'll tell you that I know the magic, but everyone I know who knows it is dead now."
He turned away from and started to walk away from Venom.

"Noooo. What I SAID was, can you tell me where I could find someone who can teach me the magic I want to know. And I asked you to point me in the direction of the ones that weren't annoying as Hell." She said slower than she needed to. "I'm sorry if I confused you."

Although he kept walking, his voice stayed right beside her as always. It was a disorienting thing, really... odd, at the very least. "I told you that I know the magic you seek, and if you find me annoying then your out of luck. Anyone else who I knew that knew the same magic is dead now," he clarified in a dull tone, as if bored by the conversation.
