Wander opened his mapper as he looked out into the vast nothingness that was now behind him. It was desert, desert, desert. About 100 miles of desert. Good thing he had brought water with him. Agro had grown rather thirsty as well, so Wander was forced to share what he could. The poor steed was baking in the heat. It whined occasionally, dying of dehydration is seemed. For hours they had walked through this nothingness. Looking for something interesting, something fun. No, though. There was nothing they found really. Other than some random shrines. Useless for their survival. Wander had marked them, but nothing more.
Turning around, now facing a sea of grass. It was five feet tall, maybe more. Trav's head would barely peak out when he had stepped in. Agro would need to bear him once more for them to move along safely. In the distance Trav had heard numerous chirps and squawks from inside the dense vegetation. Occationally he'd even see something that looked like a tail lift out from the grass before dipping back down.
"Agro." Wander called, the horse came back to him from a small watering hole that sat near the grass. Wander had gotten his drink and filled up his water sack. Agro took his time to drink, took it well. The horse didn't seem to sense danger, which was why Wander didn't bother summoning Gaius or Celosia to march through the grass. Besides, it was much more fun riding on Agro's back. It was more humble, less of an eye catcher. Not to mention, simply more relaxing and comfortable.
Wander ran a hand over the horse's mane to show his affection for the steed before then coming around and mounting him. Wander leaned down and gave his horse another pat before then giving Agro a light kick to the sides. Agro began to the vegetation. Then stopped.
"Agro?" Wander asked looking down at the horse. Agro then reeled back with a whine as a shadow leaped from the grass. Then two more. Wander looked up against the sun to see the three large silhouettes rain down on the pair. Agro took no hesitation in moving. Agro turned and shot off in the other direction. One of the shadows was able to graze Trav, but this made him lose his balance. Agro ran off a bit more before stopping and turning. It didn't come closer but it remained a distance away. Scared for itself as well as for Wander.
Wander looked over his shoulder to see the three shadows hunched, stalking him. They were Velociraptors, he should have known. Wander quickly stood as the three then began to surround him. Wander drew his bow and fired at the center one. The arrow hit home on its chest. The raptor cried out in pain, jumped back, gave a loud squawk and stepped forward again. Blood was dripping from the wound as it broke the arrow off. The other two then charged as Wander notched another arrow.

As the arrow was set on the bow, ready to be fired, pitch black chains came from underneath the overgrown reptiles. They wrapped around the raptors and pinned them to the ground as a shade ascended from the ground.
It has a hood with red glowing eyes underneath, but no mouth. It has a good sized chain coiled around his arms and body and also is hooked to his collar. It also wears Dark-Steel Gauntlets which glow with black energy as well as torn black monk pants.
"Seems like you could use some assistance..." It's voice echoed softly through the air and also into Trav's mind.
The shade turned its head and down at the dinosaurs, watching them struggle. Then the chains grew spikes, and began to scrape the flesh off of them, skinning them alive.
"The sound of pain. It always brings me pleasure."

Trav watched in both astonishment and horror as the chains came up and tore the raptors to shreds. Agro whined loudly in the distance, whining like crazy. Almost as if the horse went mad with some sort of disease. However its AI refused to go any further despite how scrambled it acted right now. Wander watched the horse run in circles, whining its head off. Then suddenly it would go silent as the Sony Admin muted and 'turned off' the horse. It simply stood, its AI completely gone. Trav turned back to the cloaked figure, something felt dark, evil about it, yet it didn't act evil. Well...not towards Wander at least.
"Who are you?" Wander asked without much hesitation. That last phrase...it rang in his ears like the bells for a funeral. For whom the bell tolls...Trav raised his bow to the cloaked being. He's never seen it before and wasn't sure if it was a player, glitch, or some new monster he wasn't in formed of yet. Either way, Trav was ready for a fight...or a deletion if he felt the need.

"I am the Sin Incarnate. One of the first three, Legendary Shades, and 3rd son of Nox. Who is also known by Lord Shaedis or Xoquoxitill, the Nightmare God." Sin then looked at the readied bow, and his eyes narrowed more into slits. "Is this how you usually greet strangers when they just saved you life?"
Sin pointed at 3 other raptors chained to the ground, ready to strike from behind Trav.

Trav slowly lowered the bow in a state of both embarrassment and curiosity. He didn't mean to be so rude, and he probably should have seen those raptors coming. Not like it mattered in the end perhaps. None the less, this...Sin Incarnate...wait. Sin Incarnate. Suddenly Trav remembered hearing of this creature. He knew now that wasn't in much particular danger, considering who this was. Still he didn't feel good. Wander just assumed that came with the job of being Sin Incarnate. Reluctantly, Wander put his bow away and his arrow.
"Yes, I've...heard of you. Quite the reputation you hold, Sin. I'm surprised you don't have to hide constantly from evil mobs." Then again, maybe that's why he's here of all places. Trav thought a bit remorsefully. He then thought about what to say next. Sin was staring at him..."Thanks." Wander said hesitantly. It was quite the creepy fellow, if not the creepiest, Wander has come across yet.

"I don't necessarily need to hide, for I can't be killed by anything of evil... Aside from that fact, I am somewhat lost. I've... somehow been seperated from my body. And I believe it was because of a failed attempt at my 'deletion'." Sin glared just a bit at Trav.
"I know that my 'data' is somewhat viral, even though I don't mean for it to be." Sin continued, "Luckily, my father saved me so that I can pass through from Beta to Ymaggion.

Trav considered this. If was supposed to be deleted, why did he tell an admin this? Maybe Sin didn't know Wander was an admin. Maybe he just thought he was someone to help. Either way, Wander was to be careful. If anything went wrong he'd call Gahm up. Until then maybe it was ok. He looked at Sin a bit more closely then took a firmer stance in things.
"So why shouldn't I just delete you right now, Sin?" Trav then asked. This thing was powerful, Wander could see this, but Wander also wanted to keep it under control. Maybe if Trav knew Sin may very well be at the mercy of the administrator, things could go more smoothly. Sin seemed threatening now. Let's see how he looked after knowing his data was at stake.

"You can try, though I doubt it will work. My data is too... encrypted. The only way I can truly be destroyed is through the game by dieing in a special way, or through whiping the entire game off all your servers."

Trav gulped at that new information. So much for his administrative edge. Wander looked to the ground for a moment then quickly back up at Sin. He bit his lower lip in difficult thought. This thing looked dangerous, and as Administrator...he needed to keep dangerous things under control. Its too bad he didn't have any way to do it. Maybe if he kept his cool however, Wander could keep everyone happy.
"Fine, so you're looking for your 'body' now. Is that right?" Wander asked, trying to get on Sin's good side. Or at least maybe make him trust Wander a bit. Wander had no intention of betraying Sin, but wanted to learn as much as he could before he made any big decisions.

"Yes... unfortunately. I need it back in order to help clean up any of my brother's chaos. You've heard of players disappearing and coming back, only to be more aggressive torwards others, right? They really have become victims and pledge their alliegance to him... in exchange to return back to the world of the living."

"I see." Wander nodded in thought. Well, in that case, perhaps this was for the better. Sin's reasons seemed honest enough and the staff could use the help after all. It didn't take Wander long to make his decision. He had a much better feeling about this. Trav turned back to his horse and the AI returned, but it was much calmer now that Wander confirmed that Sin was no threat to the horse's AI.
"Agro." Wander called and the horse came swiftly. Wander hopped on top of the horse with a grunt and got himself comfortable, "Ok, Sin. You've convinced me. If you'll permit my company I'd be glad to help you find your body. I suppose it shouldn't be too hard and I need to map this area anyway."

(OOC: Hey, mind if I post? If you do mind, then I'll delete this. If you have no qualms, then, well, we'll see what happens.) A medium sized, solid black cat trotted up to the mounted admin. Fearlessly, he started to rub the horse's leg and meow. He made eye contact with the rider, and winked. The cat seemed to grin slyly. He trotted a few feet infront of the horse, layed down, and began to lick itself.

[OOC: Its good with me as long its good with Blazen; I'm sure he won't mind.]
"There's something else you should know... My body may be on the other side of this planet... I think somewhere above the mines. I'd teleport there... but it seems there are new rules placed in your little video game of yours. I can't teleport like I used to unless I'm back in another dimension."
Then Sin noticed a black cat rubbing up against the horse's leg, purring like it was high of catnip.
"Interesting... I was about to ask you if you were able to tap into the Jihi's (Devil's) 3rd Eye. It looks like we may not need to..."
Sin watched the feline go about it's own business, then looked up to Trav.
"A friend of yours?"

Wander had glanced at the cat when it came into view, but hadn't taken a second thought about it. When Agro shifted slightly from the sudden contact Trav had looked more closely. He barely caught Sin's talk of traveling around the world and lack of teleportation when Wander watched the creature. It winked at him. Wander's eyes bugged for a moment. That was unusual of a cat. He watched it then lay down, unsure if it was indeed just some domestic cat or something in some clever disguise.
"I...don't know this cat." Wander said slowly as he unmounted Agro. He gave the horse a quick pat of reassurance before slowly approaching it. Wander came down to a squat when he came within about a foot of the feline. Wander ducked down further to get a better look at it. He was looking for a collar or something.

The black cat stood up and proceded to rub against Wander's leg. He purred louldly, trying to look 'cuddly.' The cat attempted to climb onto Wander's leg, hoping to be picked up. The cat looked up again, and gave another wink. The cat thought to himself. Patience is key here... don't blow your cover... this is what you were made to do. All we is proof as to where the Nightmare God is. There, we can find the Reaper. The cat batted its solid black eyes several times. He hoped that Wander didn't notice that there was a slight bend in the light in the gerneral area.
