[CB] Territory (open)

In the weeks that followed the strange occurrence that had struck the city. They had called it a freak accident something born of science fiction. A storm had hit the city on a relatively clear day. City blocks had been totaled and lives had been loss. Even amidst the tradgey life goes on. There were those swallowed by their grief, but there were those that exploited it. The man standing on the corner in the dead of night was one of them. He was selling comfort in a bag. A way for them to forget and to feel good. Just enough for a small trip to the happy place. A place without pain and anguish, filled with joy and energy. He was peddler of bliss. Something only psychologist only promised after years of hard work and costly payment. His payments were smaller, but more numerous. The shady man thought himself doing a public service. Liberating people of their day to day drudgery while liberating their money from their wallets. People called him a parasite and the lowest common scum, but he knew he was needed element. If not him, then something else would take his place. Yes, he was one of the many cogs that kept things going. His work was part of the cycle that was life in the city. He helped people live their lives. He was looking out for people. Shame that no one was looking out for him. One moment he was standing on the corner, the next he was hit through the chest. A smoking hole right were his heart had been. He looked about for a second not even aware he was dead. The man stood there for only ten more seconds before collapsing to the ground. Seconds later the man's spirit rose from the corpse to look upon his crumpled form. The chain from his chest dangled limply. No one would morn him. Someone would take his place, his body would be looted before the night ended. The cops would probably only find a naked body if anything. If the wild dogs didn't drag him away and feast upon him.

Sesi sat on a toppled building, watching people walk by, managing to live on. It was good the calamity had not harmed the hollow, and because of the death rates it brought out weaker hollows he could feed upon. He sat thinking. "Man, things around this little city definitly changed fast, hope it isn't always so chaotic though. Sure, dead people bring otu hollows, but it's not like they deserve it..." He continued to keep to himself most of the day, he didn't move much, occasionally he had moved to a different building every now and then because dogs wouldn't leave him alone. Of all the ridiculous things that had to be true about spirits, it was that animals could see them without a single doubt. Which was always annoying because animals liked to use everything that didn't give it attention as restroom. Though it may have been because Seis had been standing near that small red tower, but still it was an outrage! It was definitley a bad day in the city, but soon something caught Seis's eye. He witnessed a man standing above someone who looked exactley like him, Seis leaned forward to get a closer look and saw the man that was still standing had a chain, meaning he was still standing. The man was dead, but who he was caught the attention of the beast. Seis knew this man, this man was a drug dealer, in his case a regular slime ball, but recently his selling had caused some people some problems. Seis figured giving the man a good scare woul be a suitable lesson, and besides anything to break the boredom. Seis used his frog like legs and leaped up from where he was standing when the man was looking elsewhere to make sure he wasn't seen and landed above him, not being noticed. He then spoke with a haunting voice. "Well, looks like your dead huh pal...?"

The sudden shock of his death still lingered upon the man. He was still uncertain anything had happened. But the sudden pain then release had felt real enough. And the the body laying at his feet was the proverbial nail in the coffin. Yes a small part of him wondered if this was some elaborate joke by one of his few buddies. Perhaps it was a hoax that was created for some kind of reality TV show or some other badly thought out scare. He really hoped so, but the blood pooling under his body looked real enough. In his path he had witnessed death. The feeling that he felt now was similar to that time. It was the aura that death seemed to have over an area. A silence, a stillness of the air. That is what filled him. He was looking at a dead body, a real dead body; his own. The reality of the situation was just as, if not more, painful as the burnt hole in his corpse. He couldn't breathe not that it mattered if he breathed. The wretched man actually wept. A stream of tears raced down his face as he realized he was no longer alive. Then there was a crunch of the pavement. He turned and looked up at the towering creature that stood over him. In the low light the green skin was nearly black, but there was no missing the large creature. His sadness forgotten as he gazed upon the hollow. He had no idea what the thing before him was, but he knew it wasn't normal. Being dead hadn't relieved him of his common sense. His first response being a yelp of surprise and then running like from the brute. The man's exodus was stopped as his spirit chain went taunt. He fell upon his back with a grunt.

Seis simply stared at the man with his eyes. He was absolutely disgusted with this human, drug dealer, who knew what else he was? Seis would have good fun messing with this guy. As he watched the man run he decided to encourage the fear, and did his best at a convincing evil laugh. "Muwahahaha!!! That's right run little man, run all you can, but you will never escape me ehehehe!!!" He watched the man run as far as he could untill his chain pulled him to a halt, Seis was a little supried, looked like this one was able to actually get some distance. Seis then smirked and chuckled under his breath. "the farther he can run, the more fun I will have after all." As soon as the man fell down Seis put back on his scary voice and laughed. "See, I told you you can't escape!!! AHAHAHA!!!" He laughed for a few more seconds and put one of his hands on the chain, and knew that one hand should be enough to pull the man towards him. He tugged slightly to get the man's attention, and when he made sure he was watching Seis turned his free arm into scythe form, and laughed again. "They call me blender for a reason after all!" He then raised his scythe arm, and then yanked on the man's chains.

The fall upon his back had stunned the man slightly. It was odd for him. Here he was dead and yet he felt just as alive had he been moments ago. There was so much he didn't know or understand at the moment. Was being dead just like being alive? But now there were monsters to stalking them? Or was this some kind of hell that he had brought upon himself for all the misdeeds he had committed in life? A fitting punishment to be sure, but not one he'd willingly accept. He recovered from his spill just as Seis gave the chain a tug. The chain too bewildered him. What was it doing there? Did it have anything to do with the hole in his chest or was it something else. His eye traced the metal's path. It went from his chest and then to his body beneath the large monster. There was no way for him to run away while tethered down like that. He yanked at the links connected to his chest. It was a futile effort he didn't know that it was linked to his very soul. That he was indeed just a spirit a ghost of his former self. It was then that the monster spoke. He hadn't noticed the creature could speak. Hearing it's words did less than calm him. The monster's hand became a large blade in an instant and he felt his heart jump into his chest.

With a yank on the chain the man was pulled closer to the large beast and the menacing weapon it wielded. Once more tears filled his eyes. He had just died and he was about to die again. His mind didn't think too deeply on that matter of being killed when already dead. Was that even possible? It had to be or the terror he felt wouldn't be so overwhelming. A sudden burst of energy shot from across the street. The teal energy hit the right next to Seis's head. The spot hit exploded upon contact with the strange energy
"You better drop him!" called out a voice. Seconds later the speaker stepped into the road.


His left hand was still held aloft from discharging his blast of energy. The hand glowed as more teal colored energy collected at the tip of his index and middle finger. His right hand was braced against the left arm. "Aren't you a big one." The orb of energy hung there for a moment before firing at the hollow's hand that was holding the man's chain.

Seis was having fun with this game. A grown man, crying and who knows maybe even peeing his pants? Whether he was or not, this was just simply to much fun, and it was just like halloween, except for the fact that Seis recieved no candy what so ever, and the fact his big scary costume, was real. Seis dangled him a bit as he had gotten closer, but soon began to regret what he was doing. Seis was about to simply throw the man into a wall, and then leave him behind so some Shinigami could find him, and perform a Konso, and send this man to the soul society. Seis stopped for a second and sighed in his mind. If only that were the fate for him and his loving family...his mother...his sisters. At first Seis was about to actually attack, but stopped himself. "NO!" He yelled into his mind. Just because the useless Soul Reapers never showed up doesn't mean he should take it out on some man, and not let him get the chance. Sure, this human was a low life, but even low lifes deserved a chance right? Seis was about to drop the man, and simply leaave the scene never to be seen again, but suddenly a powerful explosion of energy appeared next to his head making a few bits of debris land on his head. Seis sensed a sudden new spiritual pressure and looked over to see a man, seeing a trace of energy from his fingers Seis put two and two, and figured out that this man attacked him. Whether this man would listen to Seis explaining that it was all merely a game he didn't care. That shot almost hit him, and he wouldn't let the man get away with it that easily. The Hollow dropped the man to the ground, and gave him a quick glance and whisper. "Sorry about that pal...you better run." His voice sounded more gentle, it was no longer full hollow, and had a hint of his original voice, the voice of an innocent child. Seis then looked back to the newcomer, and began a low growl which turned into a fierce roar. Seis then turned his unscythed arm into scythe form and spread his arms out horizontally. Seis then spoke calmly to the newcomer, and asked. "So... I geuss your my entertainment for today huh?"

The spirit didn't understand what was going on in the slightest. His heart nearly jumped out of his chest as he brought closer to the creature. Unlike when he had died, he felt his life flash before he eyes. He tried to struggle, but could not free himself from the huge creature's grip. The chain that held him was almost a part of him. It would seem the more effort he pulled it didn't help. Yet as he yanked on it he thought he felt something. A feeling that was much like putting a finger down one's own throat. It puzzled him, but he didn't care how uncomfortable it felt if it got him away from the hollow. He was being held up before the monster then next he was being lowered. The man hit the ground with a grunt. Quickly he got to his feet. He wasn't sure he heard what the creature said to him. He should run? It had just tried to eat him! Still he took those words to heart and tried to run. Through his panic he had heard the young man shout. He was surprised for that the monster was quick to comply. It wasn't until he was on the ground did he notice his savior. He was shocked to see one so young, but more shocked to see the glowing hand outstretched.

The man had forgotten that the chain kept him bound. His escape was thwarted once again, but this time he didn't fall down. Instead he was stopped and tried again to pull free to no avail. The would be rescuer only smiled.
"Just hang tight, I'll free you in a minute." he said as he launched another green bolt at the hollow. A wave of green energy nearly five feet wide went hurtling at the monster. The soul looked in surprise at this light display knowing full well that such a feat wasn't possible.

Seis watched the man, as he layed on the ground for a second obviously not, yet taking heed of the most reasonable adivce he may have just been told in his entire life, and perhaps not to get into drugs, but he definitly didn't listen to that either now did he? Seis slightly grinned at that thought, but in less then a second remembered what was going on. "This is a battle, and there is no time for jokes." He mentally scolded to himself. He watched the man finally heed his adivce, and get out of the fray, or atleast as far as he could, but that was good enough, so now he wouldn't get hurt. Seis got a good look at the man, and figured this guy must be in his twenties at the oldest, and easily looked like he was still in high school, but that didn't matter now. Seis didn't care if this guy was a good guy, or a bad guy; He had nearly hit Seis, and the blow was definitly not meant to just stun, but kill, so if the boy wanted a fight to the death Seis would give it to him. Seis heard the young human say a particular statement that had begun to anger the hollow. He said he would free the spirit; which could only mean one single thing. This boy was a Shinigami, and Seis definitly did like Shinigamis'. Seis watched the possible Soul Reaper with eyes full of hatred , and saw him spreading his hands apart for another attack, and before Seis knew it an even larger energy attack came right at him, but Seis reacted quickly. He turned his second arm into scythe form and pressed his scythes together, and stabbed the attack with both scythes. Slowly Seis grunted at the sting of its power, but pulled his scythes apart, and slowly, but completley seperated the attack making the enrgy disperse. Seis sweated, and slightly panted, but gave the young boy and ominous smile, and showed him in his eys that the hollow would not hold back.

"Oh ho?" The man said obviously impressed the creature had endured the attack. He dropped his right hand from the elbow of his left arm. The fingers on the hand relaxed."So I guess we'll have to do things the hard way." With that said he lowered both arms to his sides. He never dropped his gaze from the larger creature as he stood defiantly before it. Locking eyes with the monstrous hollow didn't phase him in the slightest. In a matter of seconds the glow that had been on his left hand was now encompassing both hands. The man grinned and he took a runner's stance. His left knee on the ground and his right leg extended behind him as he hands touched the pavement. There was a flash of teal light and the man was gone. Smoke rose from the ground where the man had been. A small crater had been created by the sudden explosion. The spirit screamed out in surprise as he was peppered by bits of rock. He was shocked to see that the young man that had tried to save him was gone. Why had he suddenly vanished? His head whipped side to side trying to see if the man had instead run away. The street was completely empty no matter which way he looked. Even in the low light he couldn't make out any figures coming or going along the road. Once more he was left with the monster. He fell to his knees and started to cry. His head went back as he wept and let out a gasp. Through the tears he could see the young man in the air flipping end over end like a professional gymnast. The dead drug dealer watched the man's arching path through the sky until he was above the hollow. His flip stopped and he aimed his still glowing hands downward. From both out stretched hand he released a shower of teal colored energy upon the beast. They were barely the size of golfballs, but there was at least five bolts from each hand. The man passed over the hollow and landed on the building behind it. Up on the rooftop he landed and slid to a stop. The glow from his hands had vanished, and he was breathing hard. Both his shoes and pant legs were scarred by the burst of energy he had made to launch himself into the air. After several deep breaths he focused on his left hand. The teal energy returned. Very slowly he crept towards the edge of the building to see if his attack had any effect on the creature.

Seis taunted the man with a glare after the hollow had ripped apart his energy attack and smirked. He thought to himself, "Hehe, I really hope that wasn't it, or otherwise this day would e beyond boring as usual." The monsters eyes glinted as he saw the human smirk, and say that this was going to have to go down the hard way, and whenever somebody said that particular phrase it only could mean one thing. That this fight was about to get a whole lot more interesting for the hollow. Seis watched as he the human lowered his arms, and now both of his arms were enveloped in the strange energy. Seis thought that this was good, because now the man could probably have the ability to block both of his scythes meaning that the hollow wouldn't be done with him in a single attack. The beast noticed his prey taking a running stance, and the hollow took a defensive stance; believing that the man was trying to simply charge him, but the hollow thought wrong as he saw the boy blast the gound making him dissapear, and only to be found flipping above him with excellent skill, launghing a volley of energy, and land safely on a building nearby. Sadly for the hollow, he could not dodge fast enough. He manage to evade half of them, or perhaps a little more then that, but damage was done. Some of the attack had hit the hollow right onto his back making him roar out in the pain, and made him haunch over for just a second, but quickly regained composure as soon as he saw blood dripping down his side, and knew that he must not let it happen again because Seis had to win if he wanted to be able to fight the next day. As quickly as he could Seis extended one of his scythe arms to the top of the building, and immediatley clamped on the roof and immediatley pulled himself up, and as soon as he was higher then the roof he did a front flip, and then extened both of his blades in an x formation reaching around five feet behind the man on both of the diagonal sides. The hollow looked the man in the eyes, and made a small chuckle, and simply said. "My turn." In just seconds he made both of his scythe arms attract, amking both of the deadly scythes rush towards the man's back from both angles from behind.

Imagine the man's surprise when the twin blades latched upon the edge of the building. The metal dug into the concrete as the monster hulled itself up the side of the structure in hot pursuit. He took half a step backwards from the end of the rooftop. Sure enough the behemoth came peeking up over the side only a matter of seconds later. The energy on his hand flared as he prepared to use it. To his amazement he saw the creature rise up higher into the air. Such movements looked impossible to such a huge frame, and yet the monster pulled off the maneuver with relative ease. The shock wore off as the monster's huge arms extended past him. He had flinched when they had approached him thinking it part of the creature's attack. His assumption was correct as the hollow gloated right as he pulled the arms back. The man only had a second to look behind him and see the large blades advancing upon him. His options were limited, but he choose the simplest and quickest of those available. With a grunt he belly-flopped upon the hard stone of the roof just as the huge scythes came howling forward.

There was a loud hiss as the blades passed over him. The extreme closeness of his evasion was breathtaking. They slashed the air where his body had been seconds ago. The blades cut into the ground on either side of his prone body with ease. He could only imagine how easily they might have cleaved his flesh. Quickly he rose and did a check to see if he was in fact in one piece. His hand recoiled when he touched his ear. A warm wet sensation covered his fingers. He was missing a section of his lobe. Otherwise he was fine. Fine, but now very angry. The teal energy on his hand seemed to react to the rage the bubbled up the man.
"You're going to pay for that you fuck!" the man snarled at the airborne beast. The light on his hand grew stronger and his shirt sleeve exploded into flame as the energy raced down his arm. "Second path." he thrust his palm forward and all the light on his arm surged forth. Rather than a bolt of energy it was a stream. A burst of spiritual energy that expanded larger as it move to hit the hollow. At first it was barely as wide as his arm, then it increased to almost the size of the man's body.

Seis cursed himself as it appears that the attack had missed, and that was one that required much skill, so he was not entirely sure what else he could possibly do that would be affective. He was amazed at how quick as the man was to be able to react dropping to the ground. Seis watched the cuts he left into the rooftop, and was atleast glad that his blades were still sharp, so he figured if he managed to do the impossible and actually hit the human he could win. The hollow saw a slight trickle of blood comings from the man's head and saw that Seis had hit him and managed to cut off part of his ear lobe. "Damn it" he thought. He continued to acces the situation, but was still frustrated that he had hit the human, but ahd not done much damage like he intended to. If only his scythes had retracted faster, or had he merely angled them a little bit differently he could have cleaved his head right off. He noticed the man yelled at him and called him a rather vulgar name. In a response to it he had said "Remind me to put a bar of soap in your mouth after we are done here." Though his seemingly joking response was actually somewhat serious it seemed that the human had not heard him, and said something like second release, and Seis began to think that it could possibly mean a second stage of power, and unfortunatly he geussed right. The hollow saw the attack coming, at first it started small which seemed to be fine, but easily grew in size which made the hollow worry, and made his head run fast formulating ideas that might save his hide none working, but then... he realized all he had to do, was give up a little something. Seis waited and timed it. He extended his left arm and stabbed it into the ground, but positioned it like a circular pole and the beast used his powerful legs to kick start it making him spin faster and faster per second making him raise up. He saw the beam come foreward and slightly braced for the pain. He winced the second it hit. The blast had completly blown his arm off, but the plan worked. The Velocity surged him forward spinning faster then the naked eye could see towards the man, and in a mere second time slowed down. Seis had his scythe arm extened, and was less then a foot from the boy. The hollow gave a cold look as the spinning resumed it's original speed slashing towards the boy from an assailent just inches infront of him with a high speed diagonal slash aimed at the mid part of his torso.

As quickly as it had appeared the light that had shed from the man's arm had faded. With the energy receding one could see his skin once again. The flesh was burnt as if it had been exposed to naked flames. What parts weren't black and charred were bleeding and raw. There were pieces of his arm still smoking from the output of energy. The man's shirt sleeve was completely gone. He wobbled for a moment and took a half step backwards. For a moment he almost fell to his knees. Both the pain of his arm and the weakness from his attack had taken their toll. His whole body was trembling. The man was breathing even harder after the large burst of spiritual power. He clicked his tongue at his self inflicted injury. "Damnit." he grunted between breaths. It was then that the hollow was spinning preparing his counter. The energy clashed and the creature's arm came and he came straight at the man. Again he clicked his tongue, but the time in disappointment. Gritting his teeth his right hand now glowed with energy just as his left hand seconds before. Just like before the teal light inched from his hand and moved down to his elbow. "Come and get it you bastard!!
" he screamed as his right hand raced forward to meet the creature's blade. He let out a primal yell as the two connected. There was an explosion as they met. The whole building shook and all the windows broke as the teal light flared brightly. The energy swelled engulfing the whole rooftop as the man's energy burned everything.

Down on the street below

The ghost of the drug dealer didn't know what to do with himself. Both the man and the monster were upon the roof. He could no longer see what if anything was going on. He was happy that the monster was gone, but now was afraid another one could come out at any moment to get him. Just when the thought about trying to run away again he saw the bright light coming from the roof.
"What the hell is going on?" He asked himself.
"I was about to ask that very same question." Said a voice from behind him. He turned to see a person standing there. The man's sudden appearance scared him. He jumped in fright. If he thought about it he might find it silly that a ghost being scared of a living person.

"Who are you what are you doing here?" The deceased man asked. He got no answer as the other man was staring up at the roof above. A smoking form came falling over the edge. The man leaped into the sky and caught the falling figure. As he landed the drug dealer could see it was the man from before. The man that had saved him from the monster. His whole body was burned, but not as bad as his left. The left hand looked horrible, but that was much better than his right. The right hand was completely missing. It would seem he had discharged his energy just as the hollow's weapon hand slashed his hand. The unstable attack had exploded .

It stung. It stung more then a bee. It burned more then a fire. It cut more then a knife, but most of all it hurt more then hell possibly could. It was such an instant Seis couldn't block it. At first it all seemed so simple with his previous attempt at an attack to finish the human once and for all. Seis has given up his arm and knew that it would increase his spinning speed to easily have delivered a fatal blow, had it actually hit that was. Seis had no idea that the human could have generated so much energy into just one arm, an dbe able to make such a blast with it. In result his already severed arm was even smaller then before, and a part of his right leg was blown off along with part of his head now drooping to the left. It was impossible to stand and it was a challenge itself just to look around and see anything. From what he could tell the roof was beyond destroyed. Bits of the boy's flame was left over, and what looked like one of his hands laid several feet from the hollow, and it was covered in so many burns it might as well be charcoa. Seeing that his hand was still in one piece, though a burnt piece there was a good chance that the human was still alive, but probably in no condition to fight just like Seis. Then, something caught the hollow's eye in the air and so it was the young man, falling a drop that could kill him. Seis was about to extend his arm to try to reach for him; whether Seis was going to help him or hurt him he didn't know since it was merely an act out of instinct. Although, he sadly did not have the strength to extend his arm, and saw the man fall down past the roof and merely shut his eyes saying a small prayer. After a couple moments though Seis heard n splat, and soon began to hear people talking. It sounded like the man he was playing with earlier and somebody else, but the hollow couldn't tell. Slowly Seis took his scythe hand and stabbed the roof he lay upon, and bgean to drag himself to the edge of the roof. He dragged and dragged. He was not about to quit. If the man was still standing, waiting for Seis to finish him off then Seis would at least get there first to land one more blow. He soon leaned on the edge and just as he was about to get a look he fell, and crashed on the ground infront of the newcomer and the spirit with a thud. The beast began to heave as this was just simply taking to much out of him...He took a weak glance to the spirit he tormented earlier, and tried his best to speak, but since part of his mouth was missing his voiced came out pained, and more beastial like, but he did his best to make it understandable as he said what could be his last words. "I'm...sorry...". Slowly, he managed to weakly move his eye to look up at the man, and saw what had been done to the boy he fought. Seis said no words, and simply did his best at a nod. Implying, do what you want because it no longer matters. Seis shut his eye, and braced for any attack that would end his vile existance.

The ghost looked at the burn man being cradled by the strange visitor. He was beyond amazed to see even body after the brilliant flash of light that had erupted from the roof.
"Is he alright?" he asked meekly from behind the man that had caught the young man's body. The other man didn't answer as he was indeed inspecting the form he held. The prognosis wasn't good. Burns covered most of the man's body. His skin was blistered and broken. There were pieces of rock that had hit him like shrapnel from a landmine. His attack had decimated the area and himself. Still it was an explosion made from his own energy and done considerable damage to himself. Just barely had he managed to protect himself from the blast even at ground zero. It had taken all of said protection to keep it from blowing him to pieces. Instead of a bloody stain he was severely burned. A welcome alternative, but just barely. The man's heartbeat was nearly non-existent. It was impossible to tell if the warmth he felt was just residual heat from the fiery blast, or the man was still alive. His thoughts were interrupted with the sound of sirens. The shrill call of the emergency vehicles pierced through the air.

It was possible someone might have seen the flashes of lights from the first man's battle with the hollow. Someone might have though it just a figment of their imagination. But the explosion was another matter all together. There was no way anyone would dismiss the huge explosion and fire bursting into the sky. Someone had alerted the authorities and now they were on route. His head whipped around as he tried to ascertain which direction they were approaching from. Just as he had figured it out the hollow came crashing down to the ground. The ghost next to the man nearly jumped out of his skin. He took several steps back away from the huge form. The other man had already jumped back and away from the monster. He had thought the creature dropping from the roof was a last ditch attack by the hollow. Instead he heard it utter an apology. He was perplexed by these words, but didn't take the time to dwell upon them as the sirens were growing ever closer. The shattered as the man vanished with a small flicker.
"What the hell?" the spirit exclaimed as the other man's sudden disappearance. He moved to where the man had stood and waved his hand through the empty space. No, it was no trick or illusion, the man was gone. The ghost could only stand there quite confused on the vacant street with the wounded hollow.

"Am i dead?" Seis thought. He began to think so. After all, the pain was starting to fade, and lights began to flash, but he was still breathing for some reason, and he still felt he had the body of a hollow. Slowly he opened his eyes, and saw fire trucks on every corner, the spirit still chained, but the mysterious assailants were gone without a single trace left behind. Except, of course the ruins of the roof, but no one would be able to really find out who had done it. For all the humans knew it would easil be guess able as an accident, a bomb raid anything else then the actual truth that was for sure. Seis felt stronger, as if closing his eyes had given him enough rest to keep on living. Slowly he stood up, leaning one his scythed hand, and began to walk away using it as a cane all the way. Everything slowly began to hurt again, but he managed to deal with it and move ever so slow fully. The hollow looked down to his severed arm. He began to think the worst of what could possibly happen, but pushed the thought away and shrugged. It would grow back, or he could just replace it with the arm of another hollow. He continued to move on, and looked back to the man simply standing there, and for a few minutes he just simply stared, but then finally Seis waved a goodbye, and then walked to the nearest alleyway and dissapeared.
