Porphyric Hemophilia - Hunger

•   •   •

    The sound of footsteps echoing could be heard, and the light from fire could be seen through the dark curtains as Dhastav opened his eyes sleepily. He shifted around, about to pass off the noise as common, when he noticed that Aravyn was missing. He rubbed his eyes as he sat up and looked around the room for him.

    Vin?"

    He could now hear people shouting angrily, as he turned to look at the window, and saw the light of fire. That was when he knew something was wrong. Dhastav got dressed quickly, running upstairs and out of the house to see Imperial guards rushing towards one of the gates. His first thought was that the city was being attacked, and Aravyn noticed earlier and went to help, but as he got closer to the gate, he saw a small group of soldiers gathered around in a circle formation, and flames spewed upward and around, killing a few, as more replaced them. As Dhastav cautiously approached the soldiers, he recognized a Dunmer in the middle of them, and as he squinted to make out who it was, he gasped and ran towards them.

    Dhastav pushed through the soldiers to get to Aravyn, who was throwing fire magic at them, whom in return, shouted angrily at him, and tried to attack him.

    "Aravyn!" Dhastav shouted, and Aravyn heard and turned his head towards him. "Vin..." He mumbled as he saw what had happened to his lover. Aravyn's eyes were pure red, his pupil's were extremely small. Blood dripped from his mouth and covered his neck and parts of his bare chest. He turned away from Dhastav as a soldier swung his sword at him, but Aravyn dodged and the soldier was burned by his magic. Aravyn jumped at the soldier as he fell dead, his mouth wrapping around his neck as he sucked the blood dry in a matter of seconds. Dhastav grabbed at Aravyn from behind, pulling him away from the Imperial soldier.

    "NO, stop!" He cried desperately, wrapping his arms around his crazed mate, trying to control him. It was no use, for Aravyn was too strong for him, and he pushed Dhastav away, angrily throwing a fireball at him, knocking Dhastav onto the ground. Dhastav was shocked at what Aravyn had done to him, but he feared more what would happen to Aravyn as a soldier got behind him and knocked Aravyn unconscious.
