Sanguine VS Kerias

I wrote this really late xD enjoy setting is between Death Bringer and KOTW




Zafira sat in the window seat of her home. She lived in Jersey City litterally a ferry ride from the Sanctuary. It was the first time since the attack she was home before midnight. Its was 9pm. Her finger traced the scar above her eye. It felt strange...unreal. Zafira had been cut with Billy-Ray's straight razor. No amount of science-magic could remove a scar from it. Zafira remembered her threat. She had wanted to kill Sanguine right there. If only she did. But she didn't for her own sake. Zafira got up and dressed in the clothes she wore in the mortal world. She walked out of the house and into the night. She passed the Chinese places. All she wanted was to think. Zafira found herself in an alley. It was dark and empty. Perfect. Suddenly the figure of a man ose from the ground. Zafira smiled.
"Looking for me?" She taunted. It was Billy-Ray Sanguine. The Texan nearly jumped,
"You ain't supposed to be here! They said you always in the Sanctuary!" He exclaimed. Zafira laughed,
"Yet, I am here. Strange eh?" She let the shadows swirl around her necklace. Sanguine took the razor out.
He stepped towards the Grand Mage, "You gonna be the first Grand Mage I ever killed. Li'l darlin' it's gonna be an honour." Zafira stood still. If he got closer she'd shadow walk.
"Come on, Texan. You can't beat me. Give up and go home." She said. She watched Sanguine. Something was wrong if he tunneled. That was a good thing. The Texan stepped firward quickly his blade slicing through the air for Zafira's throat. Zafira ducked. She shadow walked behind the hot man and stood silently. It took a moment before Sanguine turned. Soon as he did Zafira punched him in the jaw. He stumbled and quickly grabbed her arm throwing her into a trash bin. The Grand Mage hit the bins. Without her protective clothing she flt the impact. She struggled to regain breath. When she did Billy-Ray was less than a foot away. Zafira summoned shadows and sent a fistfull at his gut. Sanguine fell back from the force. The Grand Mage stood. It hurt like hell. Sanguine got up. Zafira set shadow knives at Sanguine but he was prepared. He dodged and got hold of Zafira. He slammed her into the wall and she crumpled to the ground. If nobody stopped him she'd be dead. Sanguine bent down to see if he actually killed her. It was highly unlikely though. The Grand Mage was still alive. But Sanguine knew how to fix that problem. Zafira glared at him. She closed her eyes. She needed to focus. If not the shadows ouldnt work with her. Sanguine smiled,
"Miss Kerias I believe you to be dead. Shame to be killin' someone strong like you but you were the one who imprisoned my Daddy again. I was fixin' to get that skeleton but you are more interestin'. I'm afraid it ends here tonight, darlin'" He took the razor out. Zafira opened her eyes. Of she bought time he'd not kill her right away.
"Killing me is bad. I die you might get a joint cell with Scarab." Zafira warned. Sanguine grinned, "Bindin' spells ain't helpin' you." He looked at her closely. Her throat being slit was boring. Sanguine cut across her stomach deeply. But suddenly was thrown back by something. A mage. It was one who lived near here. Sanguine sank underground. Chewing a pain leaf he tunneled away knowing Zafira would die. The mage who threw the Texan off rushed to Zafira. They knelt beside her. Zafira blacked out.

Zafira woke in the Sanctuary Medical Bay. Alive. The doctor overlooking her sighed in relief.
"Grand Mage, you nearly were dead." The doctor sighed. Zafira nodded. Her hand went to her stomach.
"Sanguine...he did this." She said. The doctor looked at her.
"You'll be fine. I highly suggest not to murder Sanguine yet. You should be fine. You can go when you are ready." Then left. Zafira took a few moments to get herself together. She felt terrible. She got up and slowly made her way to the meeting room. Her fellow Elders greeted her, so did Detective Riddle. After the usual chatter Zafira got to business.
"I want Billy-Ray Sanguine arrested. Charges: attempted murder and assult on a Sanctuary offcial." She ordered. Elder Spiritheart shook her head,
"Grand Mage, he's wanted in Ireland and most of Europe. I suggest talking to Ravel of Ireland." Zafira muttered something in Spanish. Then back to English.
"Fine. I'll speak to Ravel." She decided. It was only 6pm Urish time. She left the Elders and the detective. Elder Jackson rolled her eyes,
"I think Grand Mage Kerias lost her mind." She noted. Detective Riddle laughed.
"The Grand Mage lost her mind a while ago." the three laughed. As they chatted already Zafira was planning a murder.
