He ran with his arms fully outstretched to the sides and back, only his toes touching the ground, his body tilted forward and low. He ran in a straight line, and whenever he met an obstacle, he would simply leap over it, never slowing down, never breaking pace.

Gurka meanwhile called upon the spirits of wind to carry her feet, easily keeping pace with Flamehowl and... that thing.

The black ooze continued following its mother's call, finding itself in a set of ruins. It hadn't ever seen anything like them before, but it hadn't seen muh of anything before, so it didn't bother with them.

The trio - and the thing tailing them - could feel Malice, for obvious reasons. Her arcane signature stuck out like a glowing tumor - moreso thanks to the fact that, other than hers, no other presence could be felt in the glade of Zul'Mashar, once home to the Mossflayer tribe. The looming ziggurat Mazra'Alor dominated the vale, standing out sharply amongst scattered remnants of the primitive huts the trolls used to inhabit.
The area felt so... empty it was almost unnatural, as if somebody was tugging at a random bypasser's sleeve, muttering in the back of their heads, "Nothing to see here, the dullest place ever, come along..."
Carnage rolled his neck and grinned, his hand now in his pocket, fist closed around a small trinket similar to the Demonwing Fetish Gurka was carrying.
"You cannot fool me by this charade, dirtblood," he smirked, making his way towards the ziggurat. He came into an abrupt halt not a twoscore yards before the footsteps, almost running into a row of turrets that literally jumped out of the ground and aimed themselves at the intruder.
"Well this blows," he threw his hands up in the air in a rude gesture, just in time for an image of Cyrus to appear.
"
Look what we have here. A beauuuuuutiful butterfly,
" the felblood sneered.

Gurka growled at the apparition. "Give us Malice. She has part of a witch named Dag'rema inside her, and I have to see it destroyed..." she stated flatly. "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. If you want to fight for her, we'll make sure it costs you," she added, stomping the ground and creating a thin, snaking fissure under her feet to prove her point.
The black thing quietly watched,, slowly making its way around to attempt to sneak in unseen.

Okay, I'll try the eathy way jutht to thee if you have any living brain thellth left. I
will
give you her one month and two dayth from today and nobody hath to be hurt. Comprende?
" Cyrus asked, licking his eyebrows absentmindedly.
Carnage stared, more figuring out how to take out the turrets fastest rather than actually listening.

Gurka scowled. She wished Ga'crane were here; he'd know what to do. As it stood, she knew she couldn't trust the felblood's word, and besides, who knew what deviois things he could use Malice for in a month's time.
"I have no reason to believe you," she replied, her fistblades bursting into flame. "And I have a feeling that you'll only make something worse if you keep her."
The thing was slowly creeping up the stairs, seeking to path through the door.

"
She'll be here the whole time, in eggthackt thame plathe - your tracking amulet won't lie,
" Cyrus shrugged.
"
Again I athk, wish you not thith to be thettled peathefully?
"
Carnage's breathing was slowly growing faster as he began gathering energy for an outburst that would at least clear the nearby turrets.
Accompanied by a score of gan'args, Cantus walked out of the door and stopped before the dark thing, his tail twitching slightly, his hands risen up in front of him empty palms forward.
"Greetings, sentient."

"Sometimes you have to fight for peace," Gurka grimaced. "And I have a feeling that whatever you're doing with her is going to disrupt the peace in the future. Explain to me why I should let you keep her, rather than kill her right now."
She was stalling at this point, not wanting to make a decision and quietly hoping she could delay until Ga'crane came back to help decide.
The black shape rose into its humanoid form, a thin fluid manshape with no face to speak of. It stared at Cantus inquisitively.

Cyrus made a theatric gesture, and next to his image one of Malice appeared - as she were, in the nude, on the table, with the life support system grafted onto her.
"
Ath you can thee, she can cauthe no harm whatthoever to anybody now,
" he sneered, making the second image rotate to demonstrate the scars on her body, including the missing breast.
"
I will... thtudy her condition for a month, then give her to you. And thrithe now I athk, wish you not thith to be thettled peathefully?
" he asked.
Despite himself, Carnage let out an amused chuckle, delighting in Malice's suffering.
Cantus kneaded his lower lip thoughtfully, then snapped his fingers and tried to communicate with the intruder telepathically.
'
Peace. Who are you?
' he sent into the black mass, hoping that it had a mind understandable by a human.

Gurka paused. She wasn't sure what to do; somehow she doubted they could storm this place by themselvea, but she didn't want to just take a Felblood's word for it. "I still don't believe I can trust your word, demon-blood..." she announced, "Give us a token, or a hostage, that we might know you'll keep your promise."
"
It... It doesn't know. It is mother's child. She calls it, and it wishes to answer...
" the black thing replied, advancing toward the door.

"Will I suffice?" Lord Fernal thundered from above, gliding down majestically, his wings raising debris and hurtling it around. The malac was carrying a gargantuan sword now, a simple cruciform weapon with a large jagged circle around the guard. He was clad in full Gothic plate, black with glowing green runic designs.
"
Thay hello to lord Fernal, adventurerth,
" Cyrus smiled.
Cantus motioned towards the door with a pleasant smile, making it a point not to pay attention to another twoscore of gan'args carrying canisters with liquid nitrogen.
"
And once you have spoken with the parent of yours?
" he sent and quirked an eyebrow at the creature, steepling his fingers in front of him as he walked.

"I don't know if I've ever heard of a hostage that came fully armed amd armored before," Gurka rolled her eyes. "I know you want to show off, but let's be serious." She glanced over the felblood, noting that she had never seen anything of ita particular sort before. Of course, she'd never seen anything of Malice or Carnage's sort either, so it might well be her own lack of experience, she realized.
"
It does not wish for Her to be in pain. It will do what it can to relieve her,
" the thing stated, following after the augmentee.

"
That coming from thomeone who can turn her own body into a weapon of murder, and let uth not forget about magic,
" Cyrus rolled his eyes. "
Neverthelethth...
"
Fernal shrugged arrogantly, driving his sword into the ground, then touching an amulet hanging on his neck - a scarab with eagle wings and three canine fangs attached to it, made of onyx and jasper. He shuddered as he began to change shape, his wings and his horns shrinking, his armor liquefying and flowing. Less than half a minute later what remained was a perfectly ordinary blood elf dressed in black, the amulet still hanging on his neck.
"
You worgen can be utheful when approached with right toolth, Alnerigo,
" Cyrus grinned at Flamehowl with a mock bow.
Cantus's tail whipped, coming over to his face. The cultist muttered something into it, then thought about it and added another short command before turning to the thing.
'
And what would you say if I told you there is a way to relieve her of all pain and have her spend the rest of her life in bliss?

"I suppose that will have to do," Gurka nodded, looking the blood elf over. She still knew that there was some trickery or deception going on here, that much was certain, but truthfully, she would have much preferres to return to Orgrimmar and work on returning Ga'crane to normal rather than storming this felblood's keep.
"
It would ask by what means it could do this,
" the thing replied, glancing around as it walked.

"Then let us be off," the malac said, his ears twitching annoyedly.
"
You'll thank me later for detaining Malithe and prethenting her in a pretty package onthe the month ith at itth end,
" Cyrus grinned, turning around to leave the projector room, his image beginning to fade.
'
Pledging your loyalty to my master. Long as your mother is alive and in aforementioned bliss, you serve my lord the Befouler, kill who he wants dead and run errands for him. Is such a price adequate?
' Cantus asked immediately, seizing the opportunity presented.

"If you say so," Gurka frowned, turning toward the malac. "And who are you?" she asked.
"
It must see Her first...
" the shape insisted. "
No decision before.

"Now I am Fernal," the elf replied, folding his arms on his chest. "A part of an experiment to try and prove that Fel magic can be used for good - moreso than simply directing it against the corrupt and the wicked.
Specifically, in my case Fel returned me a lost leg, an eye, and a will to live."
"Bullsh
it," Carnage laughed, "Fel will
drive you crazy and leave you wanting nothing but power for the sake of power itself."
"That is exactly what I am trying to defy. I am under close watch though, and should a fall to dementia occur, I will have to be put down," Fernal said lightly, eying Carnage disdainfully. "I knew the risk when I agreed to be a part of the experiment."
'
Lo and behold, then,
' Cantus said as the doors to the chamber with the operational table opened.
'
Those outside have come to kill your mother, and here is the only place where she if safe. In pain, yes, but safe.
'
Behind them, the gan'args aimed the pulverizers at the thing's back, waiting for a command to shower it in liquid nitrogen.

"Fel does terrible things to people..." Gurka scowled, gesturing to the marks on her cheeks. "A warlock did this to me. Fel is burning life. It is inherently corruptive." She paused and sighed. "Though I suppose that doesn't matter at the moment. What matters is that you are our prisoner until your master turns Malice over to us."
The black thing stopped, staring at the woman before him. She was very different than he'd imagined. "
Is she... awake? May this one speak with Her?
"

Fernal yawned.
'
She is exhausted beyond measure, little one,
' Cantus sent, all but oozing with compassion.
'
I do not think she wants to talk. To anyone, might I add. Though who am I to stop you?
' he added, making an inviting gesture.

Gurka sighed, wishing Ga'crane were here.
"
If She must rest, so be it,
" the thing replied, "
but it will not make a decision until it speaks with her.
