Court of Yellow Eyes Part 2 [ Land Grab]

Here in this place again, the moment it'd came to sight his eyes had immedietly been dranw to it. The building was almsot hypnotic that way. It had beent hat precise reason that Jack and Jonah had been drawn to it in the first place after trying to escape from the tunnels. He imagned it held much of the same effect on the glutton when it had came here. And supressed his power. Despite being there Jack was once again hesitant to enter. He knew that this place supressed the powers of he Jonah and the Glutton the last time that they'd entered. Regardless. He didn't feel like placing himself in such a possession of weakness again. Still there was that nudge from within that ebbing little silent voice that pushed him to walk forward through those stone doors into the maw of the abyss. There were whispers among the men as they looked around this structure. Around being the main word. They didn't go inside. By the looks on them it was as if they were moving around the body of some horrible beast. One that was dead, but they were still wary of it. Lest it bite them back. Jack placed a hand against the cool stone of the building. For a moment, just a brief moment. A picture flashed through Jacks mind. A picture of himself. Possessed by the man with yellow eyes as he slaughtered those cultists. A cold shiver went up his spine. It was not a thing that he wished to repeat. Likely from now on. Jack would avoid the door within the library no matter what he needed. No matter what knowledge the one behind the door might know. And likely Ceila would have agreed.

" Yup".

A surprise as the words were out. The cold feeling down his spine quickly turning into shock as he spun around. Damned woman constantly sneaking up on him like that. Ceila. THe leader of Madness. Standing before the leader of Pride and the court of madness. She seemed for the most part disinterested in the building for now. " I told you not to go near the door or try to talk to the person behind it". She tilted her head and smiled lightly. But there was venom within that smile. There always was. " Luckily for you the man is trapped behind that door. Tethered there.if he wasn't then he would have probably kept your body I imagine....he's almost as tricky as you Jackie boy". Jack didn't like being spoken to like that but at the same time held his lips simply for the fact that Ceila was in fact. Correct. The man behind the door did have his tricks and did have his riddles. Just like Jack and just like Cerila. The only difference being that the man behind the door had no definite physical form. They both assumed that hew as a demon of madness but in truth noone could really tell. All they knew was that he was a being that was trapped. Caged behind the door in the librar. In that shoddy maintence corridor. Kept there for a reason. Whatever the reason though Jackw as sure of one thing, that the man behind the door wanted out. Out of his prispn and out of his cage. And that laughter he had heard. He knew that this creature enjoyed his time in possession of Jacks body. And would likely want to extend such a period just as Ceila had said.

" Indeed"

Jack said, with that confirmation she gave a light nod and allowed her eyes to move upwards to the building. " Interesting"> She said to herself. Not really speaking to anyone in particular, she stepped past Jack and towards the building. " It looks an awful lot like the seat of preide doesn't it?". Jack nodded. " Yes, it does. But at the same time it isn't it-". She grinned and turned around. " It supresses your powers doesn't it? Thats the power of madness for you....but its nothing to do with this building....it feels like". Her hand touched the stone. " A shadow. A dying breath. There was a madness demon who lived here with great power. And when the dawn came....it seemed part of him was impirnted on this building.....a portion of his power remains....a madness creeeping into everyone thats in here". Jack tilted his head. " What do you mean?". She smirked. " It doesn't supress your powers....it just turns you into a mandess demon...like an infection...the longer you spend inside the further it progresses....when you step inside it starts...and thus you can't use the powers of pride...fear...or glutton...simply because...those powers are being pushed back by madness". Unfortunatly. Jack didn't have time to worry about that. As the screams began.

The ramifications of this building essentially being a conversion tool for madness demons was. Horrifying. Thoughts going through Jacks mind as to the meaning behind that smirk of Ceilas as she spoke those words. But he didn't have time to worry about it right now. He rushed to the front. And attacking in large numbers. Hunger Thralls. Jack had no idea just how these creatures had managed to follow him with the hunger tainting them. It made no sense. They couldn't plan could have any sort of tactical ideas. All they thought about was consuming. It then hit Jack that. It was quite possible these creatures had been driven here by the mass abundance of life presented by the Tunnel ants. Drawing his sword Jack jumped into the fray with his fellows. The battle against the hunger thralls didn't take long. Although there was a large number of them none of them had weapons and much like the beasts they had become they were broughtdwon t the level of using tooth and claw. Then again that wasn't much different from some other demons within hell. Regardless. At the end of the battle. Jack ordered his men to secure the parameter. And headed back to the Court of Madness. There was soemthing about this he didn't like.
