[ The day has finally come.

He raises his head, a stark, hooded figure peering across the slate-gray waters as the sun sinks slowly below the waves. It's an hour before evening sirens, and everything is set. He has his list, as well as the instrument of judgment. Whether or not it succeeds is up for debate, but truly, he cares little for AGI's agenda. Entertainment, curiosity, and keeping himself appropriately positioned are the really driving components behind this little escapade. The old man heightened his understand of the power he now holds, and this is the perfect opportunity to put it to the test.

The call is silent. He doesn't even have to snap his fingers for the monstrous shadow he's created appears at his side. He turns, looks at it, and rests a hand on its muzzle.

The targets appear one-by-one, seared into the mind's eye of the "hound" he's created. The creature softly snarls, and butts its head against Xigbar's palm.

Xigbar merely smiles. ]

Happy hunting.

[ A feral rumble sounds in the twilight, and the Heartless vanishes without a trace. Xigbar stands for a moment, unmoving, before darkness wraps around him and carries him away. ]

[ The Heartless doesn't disappear this time.

Instead, sensing its prey has been injured, it prowls, a flash of claws and a lengthy tail visible in the darkness. It waits for a moment, circling Castiel as any feral creature would, before it decides to pounce.

Jaws agape, it has every intending of catching Castiel up and tearing him limb from limb. ]

[He watches it circle, sword out, turning with the creature as it moves to keep it from getting behind him. When it leaps, he opens his wings--it's worth the risk--but instead of trying to simply fly away he goes toward the creature, and down, using the incredible speed of an angel's flight to roll under the monster and come up on the other side. The speed and force are hard on his physical body, and he's pretty sure he's messed up his shoulder and an ankle from the motion, but he comes up swinging at the creature's side.]

[ The creature snarls, a sound more like thunder than anything resembling the canine it used to be. Leaping away, a ball of crackling darkness comes hurtling out of its maw.

The time for games is over. ]

[He opens his wings again to dodge, but the attack is so fast and it clips one of the metaphysical limbs, sending Castiel crashing right back to the pavement. It hurt like a bitch but the wing wasn't badly damaged; he could still fly if he got the chance again, but 'if' is the operative word.]

[ The Heartless circles again, and swiftly.

If he wants to escape, the time is now. Otherwise, it'll charge him again with every intention of tearing him apart. ]

[ofthursday]

[He takes the chance, opening his wings once more and taking off, disappearing in the blink of an eye.]
