(I'm going to assume Shana is still on the ground.)

Shana nervously walks over to Theo and whispers, guilt plaguing her quiet voice.

"I am sorry about your tooth.."

Now that he's closer to the girl, Theo getts the nagging feeling something was off about her, like something is missing, but he can't quite place it.

(Eh, basketball players foul all the time. It wouldn't be a big deal.)

Theodesius was fairly surprised when being picked up, but proud of himself for gaining the tree-beast's alliance. He nodded at Shana, intrigued by the odd feeling. "It is alright, child. Perhaps if it wasn't for your speaking up, I would have lost more than a tooth."

(Mena, Theo and Shana are being carried by spriggum.

(Aaaaaand I'm back. Sorry but I was so fed up with my Internet that I had to go stab something.

*A guy is running around in the background with a knife in his arm*

"AAAAAAAAAHHHH THERE'S A KNIFE IN MY ARM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

He'll be fine. *wicked grin*)

"You may call me Shana if you would like, sir. That is my name after all."

(... Yeah, that's probably a good idea. I guess the first thread Zach and Spriggum were both in never got that far off the ground, huh?

So, @vanquishbhp , I don't really have any changes to make to that character, is he accepted?)

 

(sorry for the late reply, but yes, he is!)

 

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Dingane heard a strange noise coming from the treeline. Seems like Twiggy's come back.

He immediately summoned about ten Crawling Horrors and prepared a fireball. Fluffy started roaring again.

He then set the grass on fire, just for good measure. The tree must choose- flee from the Lord of Lies' powers, or die by them?

(DUN DUN DUN)

(This may be just me, but I think instantly summoning ten crawling horrors and being able to cast fireballs without consequence is god modeling. I understand Dingane is supposed to basically be a god, but now he's a human and it's a bit unfair for everyone else.)

(It's fine, Mena.  Nothing compared to the stuff my villain did.)

 

(Also, goddamnit Vanquish.)

 

Spriggum growled in anger as the fire grew uncomfortably close.  In this sort of environment, he had no hope of even reaching the human to do anything to it, much less kill it before it could teleport away.  However, this was the second time the foul creature had started such a destructive fire.  The treeguard made a mental note to capture it, not kill it.

(heh, he is nowhere near as strong as some of his older brothers and he will have to fight them at some point. but since you asked...)

Five of the crawling horrors charged forth towards the tree, while five others whimpered and ran back.

'What...? Cowardly WRETCHED SCUM!!'

Dingane sent out shadow hands to strangle the five traitorous ones, then turned to face the treeguard. He gasped- being mortal was taking a toll on him, it was almost as if his body couldn't handle his phenomenal cosmic powers!

He realised he'd have to rely on his... honor guard to survive the encounter. Fluffy, naturally, roared and charged forth.

Spriggum quickly sent a series of requests to the tall grass that filled the field.  Not all of them responded; actually, only a few did, but that was enough.  Small but tough roots wrapped around Fluffy's legs, tripping him over.  When he hit the ground, more roots wrapped around his body and began to drag him into the earth.

The enraged grass roots drag three of the attacking shadows into the depths, and Spriggum stomps on the other two, reducing them to shadowy pulp.  He then looks towards the shadow man, and whispers a single command to a nearby savannah tree.  It pulls away a large root directly under Dingane, dropping him into a foot-deep pit and causing him to fall on his face.

Dingane coughed out some blood. That tree was going to kill him, unless...

'I-if your f-friends want to kill my kind... I.... can lead you to the one who brought them here....'

He turned to face Theo.

'I know how to find.... the one you call... Maxwell. Spare me and... t-the knowledge is yours.'

(Yes, Dingane is a coward.)

'That... may be true, but wouldn't you think that.... as a demon, I know how to find him? I'll... bring him here if you wish!'

 

He sent a telepathic message to Maxwell:

'Maxwell, get over here immediately! I have some people I'd like you to meet...'

The reply came:

'Ah, but there is one issue: I have just been given orders to take YOU to ME.'

'Good..... Lord....' Dingane moaned.

Hundreds of shadow hands rose from the earth, grabbing him and piercing his skin with their claws.

Dingane screamed in agony, then he was dragged into the shadows and all went black...

(Theo was chillin' out, I guess?)

 

During this time, Theodesius was pumping a healthy supply of light into Spriggum, granting him strength and energy throughout the fight. He hadn't been able to react quick enough to destroy the hands of darkness and stop the Lord of Lies' abduction, but it intrigued him. Not even shadows were loyal to themselves, it seemed. He shouldn't be surprised.

(Well, that just happened.)

 

Spriggum felt a rush of grim glee as the human screamed in terror and agony, moments before the biting-shadows swallowed it.  He hoped that the creature would torture it for a very long time.

 

"It...seems...it..is...gone."  He says to Shana and Theo.
