The midnight black wings beat together effortlessly, guiding their weakened master to the roof of the office block that he liked to visit.
The halfling landed with one foot on the ground before falling onto his knee, that feathery appendages curving around their injured lord in a protective cradle. Slowly the young man stood up on both feet, walking over towards the wall of the small stone structure that housed the staircase the Daemon placed a his hand on the wall rolling his back onto it and sliding down onto the ground.
His left hand gripped his face as he fought the pain that wracked his body, the soft black shield protecting his weakened self from the sight of others.
*The poison is still there...* He gasped mentally, his hand still covering his face. Pale, blood streaked fingertips reaching over his sweat-beaded forhead in a state of shock as he inhaled rapidly for precious air.

[blackthorne leaps up onto the rooftops near cypher and looks over at the halfling]
"you look like you could do with some help there?"

The young man continued to gasp for air, he didn't have the strength to pick a fight with the Daemon, and even if he did he wasn't going to waste it on him. The thick black wings continued to cocoon their master, obviously aware that he was in a weakened state, they had even flown him here without his orders just to keep him away from the ruckus in the police station.
*Only a few more days...* He thought to himself, feeling the venom relinquish its hold on his vital organs.

The large appendages quirked instinctively at the movement of the Daemon, sealing Cypher in their grasp even tighter to protect him from any possible harm. The young man titled his head back until the crown of his skull rested against the wall, feeling completely drained. He hated to admit it, but Blackthorne was right, the poison could very well kill him if he lost enough blood, but he wasn't going to just let the manipulative Daemon help him, for all he knew he was going to make him 'embrace his heritage' when he couldn't even defend himself...
The halfling heaved a few final sighs in mid-thought before his eyelids slid shut against his will, his hand still clung to his face despite that fact the young man had just lost consciousness, leaving the two twin wings to defend their master.

[blackthorne sighed]
"ever the stubborn one arn't you"
[he finished his cigarette and put it out]
[he stood and held his hand out and two crystal shards apeared in his hand]
"these are your fathers horns, if you use them it will give you all of your fathers powers, if you grind them up and mix them with water they will cure the venom, the choice is yours. either way it will cure you."
[he places the shards on the rooftop next to where he was standing and then leaps off the building and heads off into the night]

The halfling slumped sideways with a soft thud, his unconscious body collapsing sideway due to a lack of balance, the wings continued to sheild their unconscious summoner from any harm.

[hearing cypher collapse blackthorne leaps back up onto the building and kneels beside the unconcious boy]
"you never listn do you"
[he picks up the unconcious form of cypher and slings him over his shoulder with ease and holds out his hand and the shards come to his hand]
[he shakes his head and leaps from the building taking cypher back to his house]

Landing gracefully on the roof of the office block which he had collapsed upon the night before, Cypher turned himself around to face the city that stretched out before him. Slowly the young man lifted a hand to his face, removing the dried blood from his lower lip and chin with his palm.
*The poison should have lifted itself by now...*

Skawn rose from the evening's shadow's.
"Cypher... can I have a word?"
Skawn bit his lower lip. He wouldn't be surprised if the thief never spoke to him again.

The young halfling maintainted a frown whilst his back was still turned to the shadow, dark orbs narrowing at the sound of the voice he currently despised.
"Would you come over here?" He asked, his arms still folded over his chest and his eyes still looking down at the road below him.

Skawn stepped closer, and stood nervously behind his friend, shifting his weight from one foot to another.

A hand shot out towards Skawn, grabbing the shadow by the coat and yanking him to the side of the thief harshly, yet the young man had not even made an effort to move the rest of his body.
"If you so much as think of involving me in another one of your escapades I will not hesitate to unleash a large amount of other worldly pain on your being, royalty or no." The Daemon threatened, his words dripping with malice and his pupils dilating as he continued to stare at the magnificent cityscape.
"Do you understand?" He asked icily, the frown decorating his face as he waited silently for a reply.
