Monsters, Everywhere (Attn: Sunshine)

Sunshine nearly stumbled as he felt something, a feeling of pure unadultered terror crept into his soul for a second... and then his phone rang and he nearly shit himself.

"Jayant? That you buddy? I gotta tell you, you almost made me have a bowel movement. You felt that shit?"

Sunshine slides out of a manhole, squeezing his massive form through. He spots Jayant and makes his way over to him. He is tense and looks ready to spring at a moments notice...

"You have any idea what the hell that was?"

"I was walking around in the pipes and then it hit me, like fear morphed into a brick, and a few seconds later you called and scared the royal shit outta me. Creepy feelings and silence, broken by a phone call, not a good combination. Is master Paresh okay? Have you checked on him yet?"

Sunshine was smiling at first, and even chuckled a bit, but then, thinking of Paresh, his face suddenly became grim with fear. He hoped everything in the city was well but he had the feeling that the shit had hit the fan.

Sunshine becomes tense and aggitated, knowing somewhere deep down that this wasn't going to be good. Like that feeling you get right before someone jumps out a damn near gives you a heart attack in a horror movie, the only catch being this wasn't a movie, and he looked the part of the monster. Despite his calm demeanor, his was terrified of finding Paresh to have met Final Death, or any of his Coterie the same...

He kept searching, ready to spring into action at a seconds notice.

"Master Paresh! Valencia! Mako!" He yells, calling out just as Jayant was doing.

"You need to leave? I can tell by the look on your face. Go, I'll stay and continue searching for Master Paresh and his Coterie."

"May the Mother watch over you as well"

Sunshine says to Jayant as he turns to walk away.

"May the mother watch over us all...."

Sunshine murmurs to himself after Jayant has left. He resumes his search calling out for Master Paresh, or anyone of his Coterie.

"Paresh! Valencia! Mako! Damnitt say something if your alive!"

Sunshine is wandering through the temple and stumbles upon a slightly open door, leading into what looks like it may have once been private quarters. Inside the room is a small girl sitting amidst a mass of pillows and ashes scattered around them.

She is staring straight ahead, not blinking or moving or showing any other signs of life. Sunshine can see this is Valencia by the stitched and mangled teddy bear she is clutchintg in her arms and by Jayant's description of her.

Sunshine sees the horrified little girl and crouches down as best he can to get eye-level with her.

"Valencia? Valencia sweetheart, are you okay? Your okay now, you've got big ugly here to keep you safe. I wont let anything happen to you I promise. Please say something to me sweetheart."

She blinks, but Sunshine can tell her eyes are unfocused and she is not seeing him. He can assume she does not here him as well. Her body is just about completely limp, except for the arm clutching the teddy bear for dear life.

"Valencia, I need you to talk to me honey. I need to know where Mako and Master Paresh are. Can you tell me that Sweetheart?"

Valencia focuses on him for a moment and then looks around at the ash covering the pillows she is sitting on.

She points to the ash and say so softly he can barely hear her.

"They are gone. He killed them. It was horrible. He-he ate them."

"Who did little dove? Did you see him, the monster who did this?"

Sunshine says, a small smile creeping on his face, happy that she isn't completely out of it. He was also scared of something so powerful being in the city, something strong enough to take out Paresh? Hopefully no-one else had been destroyed in such a way...

Valencia nods, but does not offer any further information.

"Valencia my dear, do you think you can handle coming with me to let Prince Fredderick know what happened? He really should know what happened to Master Paresh. Is that okay?"

Sunshine stand and calls out over his shoulder.

"Jayant, I have Valencia! She wants you, my friend, come here."

Sunshine's face twists into a painful expression, both at the fact that Paresh and Mako are both dead, and the way that Valencia was crying so hard. It pained him greatly what was happening and he had no power to change or stop any of it.

"Jayant, we need to inform Prince Fredderick of what has happened."

"Yes, brother, we must move at once."

Sunshine turns and makes his way towards the sewer entrance that he has come from upon first arriving at the church.
