The midnight channel [Open]

Rei walked on . She lifted the blade out of the sand yet again but this time let it go. As it moved around her body as though in orbit she was still confused on how this happened. She was not actively thinking about this moving around her but it did anyways. She had this weird feeling this ability acted somewhat on its own. Rei just confused herself even more. She shook her head as she tried to clear the thoughts from it. She wondered how far her ability to orbit things around her could go. She only now could make these two katanas but she was sure that she would be able to do more in time. She had to find someone that could help her understand what she was and why she was here.

"This place is so annoying . There is nothing but sand and this stupid moon. Who ever made this place sure lacked the ability to have something of interest anywhere near by." Rei said out loud. She had this weird feeling as if something or someone else was near by. Though who they were she had no idea. She started to walk in the general direction of where it seemed two people were at. At the very least it might just be another meal for Rei. She laughed. She could not help to think that all she though about was eating. Though for someone that walked as much as she did she sure as hell did not have to worry about how she looked. What she really needed was clothes that were not as torn as these were. She thought about keeping the dried blood on her feet just because it acted like a natural skin moisturizer .

Rei looked up towards the moon as she walked. Wondering why this place never had a day time. There was not even so much as a cool breeze to have her think that maybe the sun will come up again. Rei's face went sour. This place was getting on her last nerves . She felt as though she would only meet more of those tall black things. Rei let out a sign . She could not think of what else this desert would hold for her if anything. She just wished there was someone or something else out there to entertain her time while she walked. Maybe she would find a new friend today.

Rei threw her sword in front of her and just like that it floated about 12 inches away from her. It started to float around her in a counter clock-wards way, the katana was pointed upwards and blade away from her. She took her other katana and did the same thing. Though this time it did just the opposite. The blade was still away from her but pointed down and moving clock wise . Rei looked at her katanas and wondered what this served for. Could she only control these objects or was there something else she could make float around her.

Rei held her hands palms up towards her swords. They both at the same time gently floated towards her. Rei could feel the sheer cold steal as they landed in her hands. She felt something weird about these two katanas. Like there was deeper meaning to them , like they were not telling her everything she needed to know about them. This made Rei mad. She hated this feeling of not knowing anything. In her angered state she drove one of the katanas into the group.

Rei's face turned puzzled as the ground around where she had stabbed started to glow purple. She wounded if this was part of her abilities with the sword. Rei was mistaken as the ground below her exploded in a cloud of sand and dust. Rei was launched 5 feet into the air and back another 10. The ground around where she had been standing was now a decently sized hole  with black burnt sand. 

Rei laid there was an extremely angry face . "Ok what the hell was that. Why the heck did the ground explode all of the sudden like that." Rei then let out a scream of anger. She had no idea what was going on anymore. She got up and took her swords from out of the sand near by. Her swords had this weird purple glow around them still. Had she used another ability that she did not know of ? She would need to see if there was anyone else like her around here. She wanted to find someone that had answers for her.

The hunter was once more on the hunt. This new form, these new abilities, they were simply wonderful. Oh how he missed being able to speak, it was definitely one of the best things that happened to him. On top of that, every time he hate, he could feel a sudden surge of power within his body. The pray here was quite tasty and full of right stuff, the stuff that he needed to grow even further. He was going to do it, he was going to become stronger. Just thinking about it, it was simply intoxicating. This sensation, it was so much better than what he used to feel when he was alive.

Suddenly, a presence was noticed.

He could feel it, a spiritual signature like his own but, different in a way. It was clearly another Hollow kin, that much he knew. However, it was more like that man who he meet a while ago in the Forest of Menos and less like him. Another humanoid perhaps? He was in luck. Finding out how to grow into something like that was one of the things that could actually help him so he had to meet this person. During that time with the white haired man, he was still new to this whole thing so he forgot to ask him about the next stage and such. You could say that excitement made him eager to go out and play right away, without wasting any time. However, this time, he knew better.

Regardless, the scorpion Hollow decided to approach the humanoid.

With haste, he would move through the sandy dunes, going straight onward, even digging through when needed. He did not have the time to waste on going around, anything that came across his path was taken care of right on the post. No time was wasted, he couldn't let the humanoid leave before asking some questions.

From underneath the sand he would suddenly emerge, appearing several feet in front of the female, glaring at her with his four green eyes. Her reaction was irrelevant to him, he had nothing to fear as he was the kind of these sands, the apex predator.

"You, humanoid Hollow, how did you take on that form? How did you get rid of your monster like form to obtain this?" His tone was bold, loud and confident. The same could be said about his posture and the waggling of his tail, they both showed that he was asserting dominance.

Rei did not have time to figure out what had just happened. She quickly turned around to see a giant bug in front of her. Her blade was already at the ready by the time the bug spoke. It was weird though, its gave off a feel that was much like those of the tall black things but it was even more then them. This was the first thing she saw since she had been here. She had no idea Why it had called her a humanoid Hollow. Wait was that what she was? a Hollow? and even so what the hell was a Hollow. She did not lower her blade, at the worst this thing could want to eat Rei. She knew that simply from her wanting to eat everything as well.

"I never in my life have looked like that. Though my life is still short in terms of living though." Rei said. She looked at this thing that only reminded her of those bugs that had stingers and claws. If it was anything like them she would have a hard time fighting against it. She wondered if she would even stand a chance against this thing. Though it seemed like as if She was at some type of advantage since she was in a more human form then it. Rei lowered her sword that she held in her left hand but kept the right one still at the thing.

"Funny how a creature like you ask such questions with out even introducing themselves. I do hope that there are more like you around but less rude then you are" Rei wondered if this creature was trying show that it owned these parts of the desert. Its stance made it seemed like he was ready to attack at any given chance. Rei knew that fighting this thing would not be ideal as she did not know how powerful it really was. Her eyes locked onto its face. If she gave this thing a chance she would be the one eaten up.

The monster smiled. The girl before him drew out her shinny little sword, clearly pointing it at him as he spoke. He could tell that she was ready in the case of him deciding to attack her. However, for now, he needed answers, he didn't have the time to be fighting a humanoid one. She was probably decently strong, at least strong enough to hurt him and he was not in the mood for that. He was the king of the sands, his royal blooding being spilled was out of the question. Due to that, he decided to try restraining himself and avoid any unnecessary fighting between himself and the girl. He was giving her the credit which she deserved.

"Never looked like this? Silly girl, everyone who walks through these sands has looked like this at one point. We are all monsters. It must have been rather short for you, you probably didn't even notice it. I doubt there exists a Hollow who straight away became a humanoid, without taking on any of the previous forms. I have already evolved twice, but I still can't figure the secret to the humanoid form." Ever so arrogantly, the scorpion looked down at the girl, finding it funny that she thought how she never took on a form like this. Then again, he was a lot taller than she so, he was looking down on her all the time.

It didn't seem as if she liked the way he talked to her or the way he acted though. She went as far as calling him rude and complaining how he did not even tell her his name. "Rude? Just look at me, I am a monster. Do you think that I care about that? In this world is either kill or be killed, like I got time to consider manners as I fight for my survival. Besides, names are irrelevant. I got a few now and I will continue to get more if I feel like it. You can call me Your Highness little girl." At that moment the scorpion would burst into laughter as he continued to undermine her. He wasn't sure how she would react to this but it was fun for him to do things like this. Might as well enjoy himself.

However, a few moments later, he stopped laughing and continued. "It seems that you don't have the answers that I need. What should I do now? I could try to eat you and maybe then I might take on a humanoid form as well. It would be fun to try. But, maybe I should let you live and make you my servant. I could use the help around here. What do you think little girl?"

Rei looked at the creature. It was weird that it was asking so many questions. sadly enough Rei did not have any of the answers that this thing was looking for. Rei looked at the creature.

"Oh how strange. You have mutated twice in your life while i still have yet to remember about mine. Perhaps i have yet to mutate to another form, though i hope its not as monstrous as yours. Though maybe having a form like that will be a little more interesting."  Rei was still on edge. This thing seemed to not be afraid of her. Which kinda made her happy. This meant that he had enough power to fight her. Maybe he would make a good creature to follow. Even though the creature was a least a good foot taller than her she was still not scared of him. She wondered what this creature was capable of.
 

“True, this world is eat or be eaten though we us being of some intelligence you would think we could atleast act somewhat civil towards each other. More so when you want answers i might have. To call you Your Highness must mean you take on some form of royalty though i dont see how something that does not know much about mutations how you could call yourself that.”  Rei looked on at it. She still figured that this creature would not hurt her. She lowered and stored her swords away. She looked the creature for a second. Thinking over the choice and risk she is about to take.

“If you think eating me would make you stronger then i say you may try. Though as you can see i barely have any meat to spare on me. We can make this agreement to travel with one another on the terms that you call me by my name, Rei tan and i call you anything besides Your Highness. Trust me when i saw dont look at me as a servant, it would be a mistake on your part.” Rei moved closer to the Hollow. This could help her find other Hollows that were just like herself and maybe find a way to become stronger then what she already was.

This girl, she was quite the brave one. Without holding back she would speak to the monster as if they were on equal terms, going till the point of mockery. The scorpion was amused, despite being insulted and mocked she had a point there and the way she presented it was rather fun to listen. It had been a while since he got a chance to talk to someone and so far he was enjoying it. He would still trade it off for a meal but, as it was right now, this girl was not on the menu anymore. There was no way he could eat her now, she brought him too much amusement and killing her would be a shame. Not to mention, she really was just skin and bones, it would be a rather dull meal that probably wouldn't even satisfy his hunger. Besides, there was no way for him to be certain that eating her would turn him into a humanoid Hollow. It was not worth taking the chance.

"You are amusing little girl. I like you." He would let her approach him and as she did, the waggling tail would be lowered and rolled back. No hostility was being shown from his side. The girl seemed to have lowered her weapons as well, it was only fair. Then again, even if she pulled something off and tried attacking him, he had ways to deal with it. After all his tail was not his only weapon. This monster was equipped with quite a few tricks. "Rei Tan, that's an odd name. Then again, mine isn't that much better. You can call me by my old Hollow name Sasori or, by my new one, Arácnido. Count yourself honored, only a few others lived long enough to hear my name and even they didn't live to spread it. I have decided that I do not wish to harm you, you bring me way too much amusement."

Then, for the first time in a while, the scorpion Hollow smiled. This girl brought him way too much fun not to. It didn't last long. Soon after he started laughing, a loud and resonating laughter that could be heard at quite the distance. This whole thing, it was simply so much fun. He hadn't felt this way in a while. However, even so, the reply he was gonna give her was not what one would expect after such a reaction. "However, I am afraid that I do things alone. The way I hunt is lonesome. If you join me, you would become a burden to me. I can't have you traveling with me. You will need to find someone else. If I were you, I would visit that large building in the center of this world, there you will find more humanoid ones like yourself. They might be able to help you. These sands are mainly for those like me, the ones that have yet to achieve this form. I shall return to hunting while seeking out the answers that I need."
