The streets of Naut'Shinder Village were bustling with activity on a brisk winter morning. Apparently, the cold couldn't keep people from getting the goods they needed, which was fine for the shred of soul lingering nearby. A visible wisp of black smoke formed in a long shadow, virtually invisible. It was, in fact, the part of Damon's soul that had fueled his evil deeds, torn free after being suppressed for far too long and shopping for a body.
[glow=white,2,300]'No... no... ooh, that one's not bad... no, their soul is full of love for a man. I don't want a female body.'[/glow] After a few minutes of scanning over the passing villagers, the softball-sized cloud drifted lazily into the air, hovering overhead. He found it harder than expected to get about like this. He could pass through solid objects, of course, but he could only see a bunch of souls moving about, which really was annoying.
The wisp of smoke wafted down around a man talking to a few other people and seemed to unfurl, long transparent tendrils wrapped around the man's arms, and gradually his entire body. It then sank in, though there was no visible affect on the man. For now, the evil spirit was lying dormant, waiting.
Before long, the man said his goodbyes and went on his way. He didn't know why, but he felt the urge to walk down into the space between two booths. He came out into a dark area with no people in sight, and immediately doubled over in pain. He found himself unable to scream, and began going numb. Despite his efforts, he couldn't open his mouth. Panic took hold as his vision began to black out and the noise from the crowd out in the streets gradually muffled. Soon, he couldn't feel, see, hear, taste, or smell at all. He felt no sense of balance, as if he were nowhere, utterly confused at his position with no sight to reassure him. His senses belonged to another now, and despite his best efforts, he had no idea how to escape the hold this thing had on him.
Outwardly, the man stood, wiggling just slightly all over. He seemed to be learning to use his muscles, taking a moment to regain his stability before daring to jump. He landed on his feet and grinned.
"Well. This is nice."
A moment later the man walked back out into the streets, dark lines around his eyes.
((I dunno if anyone will want to post. You can if you like. xD I just needed this to happen.))
