It was dark as the dust storm blew across the ruins of New York. The buildings falling apart after years of neglect. Patrick thought back to almost a century ago when it was a booming metropolis with millions of people. He remembered those days well before everything changed, back when everything was better, before her death.
Patrick was with a group of survivors he was trying to get out of the city without being seen by any of the Dark Lords creatures but that was not easy to do. He had a protection spell cast hiding them from site but she knew many of these creatures could easily sniff them out so he felt lucky this dust storm was here as it may buy him some time, or at least that was what he wanted them to think.
He was tired, he was at the end of his fighting days and he needs to speak with the dark lord. This battle had taken his toll and he had finally found something that he believed could fix this for both sides. However, the Dark Lord was not easy to speak with or get to unless it was the one they of the year she would agree to see him, which it was not.
"Okay, are we ready to move?" He asked the small group.
"They'll catch us, we aren't going to make it." A young woman from the group said.
"Better to die trying than to sit here and wait for it."
"I'm telling you we are sitting ducks here and we can't..." One of them said as they heard a noise. "What was that?"
"Wait here," Patrick said as he began to look around.
He could sense something in the air like they were being hunted. He raised his hands floating a few feet into the air to get a better look around but it was difficult with the sand blowing around. He concentrated a little harder when he heard the sound of an animal growling and snarling along with the terrified screams of the survivors. Eventually, only a woman's laughter could be heard through the dust. He knew who it was and what she was going to do. The thought disgusted him but he knew if he was successful today it wouldn't even matter. He turned his head and headed back down only to find the few survivors he had been protecting had been slaughtered so quickly he never knew she was there.
Walking up on where the frightened people had been hiding, he notices a pair of humanoid figures on the ground there as the dust settles just enough for him to see who it was. A familiar blonde woman was on all fours there, wearing only a few pieces of armor that allowed most of her powerful frame to be on display. She was over of the humans, the lower half of her face covered with blood as she lifts her head. Tearing away a few pieces of flesh and lifting her head, seeing the shape of a man slowly approaching as she licks the blood from her lips.
"Sasha!"
"It's good to see you old friend, shame you couldn't save them."
"It was unfortunate, but it needed to be done."
"That doesn't sound like the Wizard I know, have you finally accepted the truth and the fate of this planet."
"No, but I need to speak with your boss."
After taking a few more bites of human flesh, Sasha stands up and begins walking around the lifeless bodies she was feeding on. The two keeping their distance from one another as he watches Sasha beginning to take off her armor, within moments she was completely naked and glaring at him. Flexing her claws as she begins to growl softly, her body already showing signs of changing back to her natural feline form. While looking over the powerful wizard, she speaks with a deep growl creeping into her voice with every word.
"Only after I'm done with you, then you can say your last words before she finishes you off."
"After today, it won't matter anymore!" He said creating a glowing red sword from his hand before lunging at the shemale beast in front of him.
"Oh you are serious today, this should be fun." She said fully transforming into her beastly form and attacking.
Sasha defended herself roaring like a lion as she tried to strike back at him. She had become much more powerful since her days of the Safari club but she also knew how powerful Patrick had become. His abilities made it difficult for her to get a hit on him as she slashed with her claws trying to avoid the sword. She finally swung and caught his left arm cutting his shoulder.
"Ha, see you do still bleed." She said feeling proud of herself for the moment.
"We all do," he said before flying toward her quickly as she jumped to the side.
She thought she had been quick enough to dodge him until she looked down at the slit across her stomach that suddenly began to bleed profusely. "You son of a..." She said as she suddenly fell to the ground.
"It's over Sasha, I'm tired, and I need to see her, today."
"You think this is over, once she learns of this, she will..."
"Do nothing, I am not fighting her anymore, and I need you to give her a message for me." He said as he handing her a beat up piece of paper, watching this feral beast shifting back to its human form.
Sasha growled at him but read it before she looked up at him and said: "You're a fool, you can't harm her there."
"I don't intend to." He said before ripping off a piece of cloth for her wound which she reluctantly took before looking down the street to an old broken down brick building where once stood a club owned by the Rak-Sasha. The letter S still sat there ready to fall off if the dust hit it hard enough. "Don't you miss it, don't you miss the good old days."
Sasha looked over at the same building as a smile came across her face. "Sometimes I do, we were different people back then, maybe even better."
"I always thought you were better than this, but the darkness is always more tempting."
"Have you ever tasted the pleasures of what only the darkness can offer? What would you have had me do, meet a man, settle down, get married, buy a house, like you and Nessira?"
"It does sound silly, but why not?"
"You are a fool Patrick, I always thought you were a fool, but I could always see why she loved you so much."
"Well, if everything works out, maybe we can still be those people."
"It will never happen, too much already has happened."
"Yes, it has." He said standing up before he said: "goodbye Sasha," as he walked off disappearing into the dust.
Sasha laid there for a moment a little confused before looking at her wound. This was the first time Patrick had gotten her with an almost fatal blow. A few inches deeper and he might have killed her. Even though he didn't she could tell something was different about this encounter. She watched him leave and then used what power she had left to transport herself back to her master

Patrick stood outside the run-down wooden house in front of him. The area which was once a colorful forest was now just a sand covered hill and an old shack. The sign still said Lilith's Erotic Emporium which he was shocked to see but it didn't matter as he walked up the steps and walked through the front opening where the door used to be.
The windows were broken and the shelves were empty. The floor was covered with sand and the showroom was just a weathered wreck of what it once was. He felt depressed looking at it as he saw the very spot where he met Nessira over a century ago. The memory brought a smile to his face as he felt a presence standing behind him.
"Do you remember that day?" He asked before turning around to see Nessira standing there wearing the skeletal armor she once wore when she was Queen to Ror'gon. "Sorry about Sasha."
"Sasha is a big girl, she can take care of herself, besides I didn't come here to reminisce."
"Then why did you come?"
"Curiosity, this isn't our annual cease-fire, and you know you can't hurt me here, so what trickery do you have in store Wizard, unless you want to have our anniversary early this year, I don't feel as sentimental at the moment but I can always make an exception?" She said with a smile.
"Tempting, but I sacrificed a group of people for this meeting, so let's get on with it," he said pausing for a moment before he said: "I'm done, I can't do this anymore Ness."
