The lich only watched with half interest. Controlling the living had no appeal to him. Through fear, yes, some fun would be had. But spells no.

"You will see nothing more than my survival. The spirits will obey me... they will obey you." he replied, rising back to full standing position. He looked to Neraika. Something hard edged glinted in his eyes that had never been there before. Darkness lurked behind his gaze. A smirk curled over his lips.
"Lady Neraika, while I respect your abilities I believe there is something you are unaware of at the moment. We are being observed presently. Not us directly but our vicinity to be exact."
Neraika narrowed her own eyes. They met his and she snarled, teeth showing sharply behind her sneer. "That can't be! I'd sense the presence of another mind any- Son of a bitch! ...He's right. Alieko's 'friends' have decided to attempt his rescue as expected. Tatsu is currently on his way to find our location."

The lich's eyes flickered, as if he was blinking out of a trance. "Hmm? Is there fun to be had soon?" He glanced to Neraika. "Is there death to spread?"

Neraika nodded. She seemed grave, as if ill. Her stomach had dropped and with it her act of power. Still soon it returned and she smirked sinisterly. Her lip curled up to allow one of her fangs to linger in view. "Tatsu is acquainted to the land of the dead. He had come from there recently. His magic is tied to spirits... I can sense that much from his mind. Let us send him- and his friends as well?- back." That must be why Aleiko sensed him before me... Well done I suppose. He may be useful after all.

The black dragon smiled, the line of his mouth twisted.
"That seems an adequate course. It's been too long since we visited death on ones such as these-"
Rafael paused mid-sentence, head tilted, attention sliding from Aleiko to an indeterminate point on the cavern walls as his pupils shifted slightly out of focus.
"- Akachi. Bring me the head of that assassin. He entered Charon's realm a few minutes ago." A twitch of his claws sent Akachi stepping backwards into the shadows pooling on the floor. Her smirk was haughty and cruel as she dropped out of sight.
"It will be done."
Turning back to the Lich and Neraika, Rafael's crazed smile widened.
"It seems all the pieces are the on the board now, hm? Time to go and relay a little message to the former friends of our new... ally."

Neraika nodded in response. However the madness was beginning to shine back into her golden gaze once more. The prospect of finally having something to do peaked her interest... to say the very least. "That sounds like a plan."
Blinking almost like a robotic being, Lei inserted his opinion yet again. His tone was cold and emotionless. He truly belonged to Rafael now. "...An what will you have me do in this game?"

Rafael tilted his head, considering with his sideways gaze.
"You, my newest puppet, will play the lead in this little performance. Why bother with physical damage alone when you can have emotional too?" The prospect seemed to delight the dragon; he turned on his heel with a sharp laugh, feathers fluttering in the downdraft. Claws clicked together as he steepled his fingers. "Yes... if it is Tatsu that seeks us, our latest acquisition may prove to be quite formidable - there must be some form of consequence from his time as spirit for so long that the little one can manipulate. The assassin is absent on a fool's errand, so that leaves the shaman and her apprentice..." He grinned silently. "Determining their location should be little trouble."

Appreciatively, Aleiko's eyes illuminated with a spark of excitement. His body coiled casually, tail nearly sweeping Neraika across the face. Was that accidental or on purpose? One couldn't tell.
"Then, Rafael, how about we begin this immediately? We will not achieve any entertainment from remaining here with words. Who will be locating him and doing what? I realize I have the lead role but I wish for instructions. There is no margin for error once detailed specifics are known to the follower you realize?"
