The Clocktower

*looks up and around, then looks back at him*
....whats your name?
*continues to look at him*

Craiger's appearance slowly shifted into that of artix, with his shoulder length hair, black eye's and caring expression. He bowed with one arm under his stomach and the other holding his cane just the the side "my names is craiger grimm" he announced standing upright once more and transforming back into his usual self " and yours is leeloo" he muttered with a small smile.

*looks at him with eyes changing back to icy blue*
i-its nice to m-meet you Craiger...
*bows politely then quickly stands upright*
*the snow around me melts and my skin get hotter*

" i shall give you a clue as to exactly what i am" he began taking a small step towards lee, who was almost backed up against the clock tower wall "everytime you ad artix met....i was there.....every time you laughed.....i was watching and everytime artix looked away from you.....i was laughing" he said calmly, he gave off a sinister air, like that of a person who cared for nothing and nobody, not even himself, only the destruction of everything around him.

*looks at him*
and why were you laughing?
*eyes change to a mix of the icy blue with a bit of orange*

"Because he knew that if he spoke to you and became friends with you....i would know who you were.....and here i am.....and i know who you are" he said with an evil grin as he took another step towards her, he was now almost directly infront of her. "have you figured out what i am yet?" he asked

*looks at him*
no...i havent figured it out yet
*gently pushes him away, slightly burning him and takes a few steps forwards away from him, crossing arms*

Craiger chuckles as he touches his scorched suit "so you are not afraid of me.....if you were you wouldnt have touched me......i dont mind that, what im trying to do is simply cause chaos inside your head" he muttered as he turned to face her "fine i will tell you" he began "surely artix has mentioned a dark side of himself, something that threatens to engulf him and ultimately destroy him......well......i am that darkness and i have succeeded in destroying him" he laughed. He knew that this would probably make leeloo angry.

*eyes grow black with metallic orange specks in them and turns to look at him, all teeth sharp, growling*
*unhooks my ringed daggers from the back of my pants, fire covering my arms and my daggers*
*looks at him in a pissed off type of way*
hm...thats what you are....

Craiger stay's calm as leeloo draws her weapons "yes that is what i am and that is what i have been since artix was born....of course i have lived a lot longer than that" he muttered staring into leeloo's eyes with his own devilishly red one's

*shakes head a bit and puts my ringed daggers back on my belt loop*
he was such a good guy
*turns away as the fire being to die down and turn blue along with my eyes*

craiger nods at this notion "yes he was a pure hearted boy....but he was a danger to the world i did a good thing by making sure he was killed" craiger muttered as he removed his top hat and dropped it to his side. the hate whisped into smoke and dissapeared into craigers shadow just before it hit the floor.

*growls and somewhat yells at him*
HE WASNT A DANGER TO THE WORLD
*takes a step back towards him then swiftly ends up right in his face, having my hand right in front of his neck getting ready to grab his neck and squeeze it*
*growls and speaks at the same time*
he wasnt anywhere near a danger...at least not to me

Craiger kept calm even though leeloo had grabbed his throat and began to explain "think of the world as a huge scale with evil on one side and good on the other, at the moment it is balanced.....but every few thousand years a child is born of pure heart and this upsets the balance, when the balance is upset then the world will slowly become corrupted and eventually it will decay and all life will begin to die out, in this case artix was the child that disrupted the balance......it is my job as "the demon king" to fix this problem by inhabiting the childs body and on the day they find their true love it is my duty to make sure they die......once they die the balance is restored and life goes on" he explained before slowly removing leeloo's hand from his throat.

*yanks my hand away from him and puts both hands in my back pockets, looking at him*
did he find his true love?
*continues to look at him*

"i had clearly stated that the day he found his true love was the day i was alloud to kill him.....and i killed him......so yes he found his true love" he muttered in a monotone voice "but she died shortly before he did" he added

who was she?
*looks at him with head tilted a bit*

"to tell you the truth there were two people who his heart had truly bonded with the first was eiko hirashi....she was just like him, always caring and never wanting to fight but she had one fatal flaw....she was selfish, the moment she saw that artix was saddned by his previous love's death she moved in like an eagle on its prey.....and then she goes and gets HERself killed by artix's sister" he explained with hate and anger in his voice as he spoke about her.

*puts my hand on his shoulder*
stay calm.....dont freak out because you spoke of his sister
*looks at him with a friendly smile*

Craiger gently slapped leeloo's hand away "its not his sister i hate...in fact i rather liked his sister.....well the other side of her anyway.....its eiko who i detested atleast his previous love was more.....my style shall we say" he explained walking slightly away from the clocktower entrance as the blizzard had gotten so bad it had now began to snow up the inside of the building.

*growls lowly*
hmph....
*walks around, away from him, melting the snow where i walk*

Craiger watched leeloo as she walked away and then took a few steps after her "you are a lot like her....atleast before she changed" he muttered thinking back to when artix had first met her and when he had first met her when she had changed.

*turns and looks at him*
im alot like her? thats all you can say to me after pissing me off about my friend?
*eyes stay icy blue and looks at him*

Craiger fell silent for a few moments before speaking once more "i could say and do things much worse....things that would shatter your sanity and things that would make you see the world differently....be grateful that im only telling you this" he muttered as he stared at her "yes you are alot like baha" he finnalised

*growls and turns away from him again, wiping a small tear away*
i-i dont even know who that is...
*turns head a bit and looks at him, eyes changing a bit brighter blue*

( O.O )
