Seeing the guy doesn't understand English and that he was keeping the arrow pointed at her, through he was gesturing to something and still speaking. Noelle's eyes move to where he's pointing, is that.. a net?
It took a moment for her to realize what the guy was meaning and she stumbles over to the shore, her eyes trained on the guy and his arrow, not wanting to make a move unless he did something to threaten her. |
The Captin rode on horse back riding its way from the burned remains of there last raid with a smile so cold underneath the Bone helmet that held its identity. Soldiers surrounded it in full body armor similar to the Captain's marching in complete step with one another staying completely silent and cold just like the captain that led them
Along the road a girl stepped in there way, Why would a girl be wondering about by herself? Its not unheard of but unusual. The Captain got lost in thought approaching closer and closer to the small girl. Lucien Stop in silence over the solider who was once fighting to live, It was too late the solider will was not enough he lied dead among Lucien's feet. Lucien felt his heart beat faster and faster as his anger grew he clinched his hand around the vial he had recently found near Mairi's camp sight so tightly it shattered in his hand knicking the side of his hands causing them to bleed. "Whoever did this.. will pay.. I will make every last drop of blood spill out of there body..." Lucien gritted his teeth and slammed his fist hard into the dirt, it was time to find who did this and it was time for revenge.. |
Mairi stopped and glanced up as she stepped back away from the road to give them enough room to pass her by. She glanced them over and looked away as she worked to not think about how they might match up against her brother. Glancing down the road her eyes caught sight of the hill crest that meant the town wasn't far away. "Meh.... I'm sure there's no trouble..." Murmuring softly, Mairi swallowed and sped up her pace to get to the town. Something told her that she had better hope he was going another direction far from her. "Today is just not a good one..."
|
The Captain and her troop made there way quickly past the small girl and towards the thick forest that they had previously seen the lightning spark from.... That had to have been there captain.. I will have the Price on his head.. My master Azrael demands it... The troops made it to the edge they sat in silence for only a brief minute.
The captain brought her pike to a readied stance and threw her arm forward signalling them to move forward, The solders made no noise, they just began marching with the captain following close behind. Lucien made his way out of the camp toward the nearest town, Hopefully.. Mairi would be there and she would be safe, He quickly bandaged his arm and made his way to the town walking into the local store to the Shop manager. "You, Shop keep have you seen a small girl around the age of 14.. She would be alone possibly wounded?" Lucien's heart dropped as the Shop keeper shook his head no, They couldn't have killed her.. Her powers would have ... Lucien shook his head rapidly trying to get the thought out of his head, She was surely okay she had to be someone had to take care of Regina when Lucien couldn't right? Tears filled Lucien's eyes he made his way outside and sat down against the wall of the building. |
Mairi stopped after a moment and tilted her head curiously as she saw the person against the wall. "Hmmm..... Oh it's brother." Mumbling as she was licking the remnants of the honey off her fingers from the sweet bread that she'd been eating while shopping. "What is he up to.....?"
Still licking her fingers as she neared him, she frowned and thought that she needed to stop this habit. Sure sweet things always made her fears go Way, but she'd get fat if she ate to many. Then I wouldn't be able to ride Regina or Kit. Stopping and kicking a little stone to hit Lucien's leg she smiled. "Hey.... Trying to be a lazy bum now?" |
That voice?... could it be no.. Lucien wiped the tears from his face and looked up with bright eyes and a huge smile quickly pulling Mairi into a hug. "Your.. okay... they didn't get you as well.." Lucien had to hold back tears Mairi had never seen him cry before and he wanted it to be kept that way. It was then he placed his hands on her shoulders and looked at her. "Did they hurt you at all? if they did i swear ill pull every bone from there body..."
Lucien then thought about the earlier incident in the forest and felt like a fool.. those could have been the last worst he said to his "Sister." Someone was giving him a second chance.. |
"Hurt me? Who would have hurt me, the merchants?" She giggled lightly at his reaction and tilted her head as she squirmed in his grasp. "Okay I can't breathe Lucien!" Smiling Mairi squirmed and took a couple steps back. "Ugh.... You smell gross, what the heck have you been in? Another war zone?" Pinching her nose and waving her hand. She stopped and realized what he had asked and frowned for a moment in consideration. "Wait.... On my way here I did see this weird troop with a person on a horse. I thought it was you and the guys at first, but they were dressed weird."
|
The smell of blood was in the air..
Frowning, Lei doesn't move from the place she was sitting, it was none of her concern. If people wanted to join troops and fight than so be it, she was not wasting her time on healing people hell bent on making the same mistakes twice. She had standards.. she only sold healing remedies to get enough money to afford a bed and a warm meal for the night, other than that, her contact with anything human was limited. Closing her eyes and resting her hands behind her head, she decides to enjoy the sunlight a little more before moving on to the next town. |
He lowered his bow once the girl had moved, and went to the edge to see what the damage was. He still had a decent size catch, and hauled the fish in his net closer to his spot under the tree. Silently he pulled a few sticks from the ground pooling them together so he could blow on them. A fire roared to life and he started to cook his catch.
|
Seeing the guy was more intent on his catch than her, Noelle decides it's the past time to leave before he decided more than fish was on the menu. Making her way through the bush till she came to a path, she decides might be smart to head to the nearest town and replenish her supplies than heading out on her own for a bit, maybe right now wasn't the best time to take up Lucien's offer of joining his troop.
Placing the scythe back into it's casing and making sure it was secured on her back, before pulling out the map from her bag and spreading it out on the ground. Running her finger over the paper, she manages to track her location and the location of the nearest town. Securing the map back in it's place and her bag back along aside the scythe, Noelle heads out in the direction of the town. |
Lucien Grits his teeth as his eyes grew cold he muttered with the darkest coldest voice he could muster from his body. "They are all dead every last one of my men dead. Once i get my hands on the bastards that did this.." His grip on Mairi's shoulders became tighter his body became stiff. Lucien knew what this emotion was unfortunately.. Anger.. Lucien's eyes turned completely blood red, rage had consumed his soul, The only thoughts in his head were revenge..
Lucien let go of Mairi and walked into the open placing a single hand in the air he discharged as much of his power he could in one burst, Lightning crackled off of Lucien's body as an enormous Crimson lightning bolt that could be seen from miles away was shot straight into the sky above. As the bolt dimmed and faded away along with Lucien's last bit of strength he fell to the ground gasping for air.. Anger wasn't going to get to him if he had a say in the matter. The Captian's forces moved deeper in deeper into the forest, Along the path way a strange women with a scythe on her back was looking at a map. A scythe?! how dare she wield the weapon of my master.. The Captain threw a clenched fist into the air causing the entire troop to come to a complete stop. The captain alone approached the woman Laying the pike along the horses saddle where a custom made sheath was made. The Captain steadily lead the horse toward the women and stood above her staring with dead cold eyes through the helmet. |
(XD is my char the only one who likes to live? pffft everyone else runs around in the open and has no issues talking to scary weapon'd strangers. makes mine seem like a coward)
he did not run too far though it was far enough that he was safe from any stray arrows. feeling as if he was being cheated once more he let his gait move to a lolling walk and sighed. he found his musician but the man was obviously a danger and unless he wanted to risk more arrows it did not seem like a viable option to try and buddy up with him and so he tried to find some other distraction to keep him on his travels |
{All depends, Lei is not talking to any strangers, she's more intent on getting a tan.}
Noelle pauses, realizing she is not alone and gazing up, meets the cold eyes of a stranger on a horse before her eyes flick back to see a troop with him. Fuck.. this is not my day... Slowly, she reaches her hand behind her back and lets it rest on the handle of the scythe, she didn't know the intentions of this stranger but she wasn't taking the chance. |
A smile appear on the face hidden behind the helmet of the Captain as the strange women placed her hand around the scythe. Its a battle she wants hmm.. Well.. Since this is a one on one battle I guess i should jump of my horse.. The Captain carefully made its way of the Saddle of the horse staring down the women.
The Captain unsheathed a sickle from sheathes made in the back of its armor leaving one in place. The Captain held the vacant hand above the ground as a bone pierced from the dirt below and shaped its self into a spear hovering in mid-air pointing at the strange women. The Captain gestured it's hand at the women's scythe as if to ask her to wield her weapon. The Captain had honor it refused to attack an unarmed warrior. |
Seeing the stranger get down from the horse and unsheathed a sickle before a bone came out of the ground and formed itself into a spear pointing at her.. Wait! Noelle thinks to herself, as the stranger gestures at her to wield the scythe, that magic, it's familiar.. She remembered seeing some weapons like bone the day.. my village.. there were weapons of bone scattered along the bodies.. which means..
The anger returned and Noelle pulls the scythe free from it's sheath and holds it at attack position, "YOU! The whole time, it was you that attacked my VILLAGE!" |
What is this women blabbering about? I have attacked tons of villages why would i care if one happened to be hers..The Captain gives no response it only quickly prays in its head. Azrael Bringer of death arch-angel of the lord. Guide my path toward victory in battle, so that I may bring you more souls.. it looks to the women before sending the Bone spear flying toward the women at a medium paced rate, as the bone spear flys toward her the Captain follows it sliding to its legs coming in for a quick swipe at her legs with the sickle.Fall at the hands of azrael..
|
Using the scythe to deflect the spear, Noelle manages to jump out of the stranger's path as the sickle nicked one of her legs, drawing blood. Landing a few feet away, Noelle concentrates on calling up a few souls to aid her, there was no way she could fight him on her own. If this guy could attack with items in the air.
Using the souls that appeared, hoping that they would throw the stranger off guard long of enough for Noelle to get an attack in.. |
Mairi stopped as she heard what Lucien said, swallowing hard at the sight of his eyes. "Lucien.... Wait brother calm down..." She mumbled and flinched when he walked away and let loose that bolt of lightning. "Damn it... You're over doing it again!" Yelping in surprise when she saw him collapse to the ground.
Running over to him she knelt down and touched his shoulder. "Please... Can't you take it easy for once and be rational? I know you want revenge.... But this isn't the smart way to do it." |
Gasping for breathe Lucien staggered to his feet, a small tear rolled off his face, He had hopes that Mairi didn't see that.. "My anger, almost took a hold of me i rather be tired and...low on breathe then attacking innocent people for answers.." Lucien began to walk away slowy, to the man roads on the dirt beneath his feet on the roads he saw fresh horse prints head toward the forest.. "So that was your plan all along, lure me from my campsite then ambush me when i wasn't looking.."
Lucien drew his blade once more and began walking silently toward the forest. Today is the day i find my purpose, Whether it be death in battle, Or starting a new life.. Before Lucien could get far enough down the road Fatigue kicked in, His eyes rolled to the back of his head as the weight of his body made his legs buckle and fall from underneath him making him fall foward and pass out. The Captain gritted it's teeth and snarled at the women with a girlish tone."HOW DARE YOU STEAL SOULS FROM MY MASTER AZRAEL!!" it was then the captain realized she had revealed her voice... She place her hands over the top of her helmet and gently pulled it off, Her long black luxurious hair flowed from her head down to her shoulder blades, with a single gold butterfly shaped hair pain revealed on the top right of her head. Her purple eyes stared straight into Noelle's eyes, you could see the anger in the Captains eyes.. "Looks like my temper has yet again failed me." She said shrugging and tossing the helmet at Noelle, then charging at the women with the sickle once more swiping at her feet trying to knock her to the ground. |
Sighing irritably, Mairi moved closer and stared down at Lucien. "I swear... I don't know what I'm going to do with you and your stubborn attitude. You always complain about me, but you should know where I got it from." Smiling sadly, she knelt down and attempted to pull him up as Kit appeared. "Would be a lot easier if I could call Regina, but we don't need her out in the open." Mumbling softly, her hands pushed the hair back from her face and she pulled him over the saddle as her horse waited patiently.
|
The voice shocked Noelle for a moment, He was a GIRL? And Azrael? She was even more surprised when the girl took her helmet off and looked her straight in her eyes. Before the helmet and her came flying at Noelle again.
"I don't know who this Azrael you speak of is, but these souls that I have were not stolen from your precious Azrael, their souls of innocent people that should of lived but instead begged for their suffering to end cause of people like you." Gritting her teeth, Noelle tries to avoid both attacks again seeing that she doesn't have the chance to get the scythe into any attack position but the second attack at her feet caught her off guard and stumbles, crashing to the ground. The scythe flew from her hands and landed a few yards away, out of Noelle's reach. Shit.. this bitch is pissed.. |
Lucien awoke to the sound of horse hooves stomping against the ground, His head was dizzy and he didn't remember much. Just that he got angry and discharged all his power.. "Ngh...Where..am i?" he said with a confused and painful tone while grabbing his forehead..How did i end up here... better yet where is Mairi.. Did someone capture me to get the price on my head?
The Captain smiled as the women fell to the ground she stood up above the women, Placing a foot Firmly on her chest to keep her down. She held her arm out as a several bones pierced the ground and turned into a small dagger, it was then that one of her solder's collapsed and turned to dust. "Azrael is the Lords Arch angel, Bringer of death and deliverer of souls.. Most call him the Grim reaper, I call him master and you have no right to steal the souls of the innocent. My name is Captain Kimiko, Welcome to my troop of the undead." She sheathed the sickle in the back of her armor and grabbed the dagger with both hands thrusting it down at the women with all her might and speed. |
"Calm down brother Im right here." Mairi said as she glanced back at him with a sad smile. "I'm headed to the river so I could get us in some shade and water for you." Sighing as she turned back to continue walking alongside Kit. "You know... We gotta do something about your eating habits cause you're heavy." Speaking in a joking tone.
|
Feeling the weight of the woman's foot on her chest, Noelle grimaced. With a twist of her body, she manages to make the Captain fall over and scrambling up, lunges at her scythe. She was getting tired, she could feel it..
Dammit, I'm using all my energy just trying to block her attacks.. Pulling the scythe from where it landed in the dirt, Noelle brings it up in an attack position and lunges at Kimiko, "You can tell your master when you see him, that he can deliver a message straight to Hades for me. Tell him, Noelle no longer does his dirty work." |
While his meal cooked, on the make shift fire, Niaz went to see what became of his other arrow. Quickly he grabbed his instrument. The one item he not leave alone. He pushed into the sling around his body nesting it on his back before going into the bush. He found no animal but in the earth he found the rounded imprint of a foot. Looking back upon his fire he decided it could burn with out setting the forest a blaze. Feeding his curosity he followed the prints.
|
not even ten minutes had passed when the hairs stood up on the back of his neck and the sinking sick feeling of a hunter's gaze fell over him. shivering he put one arm to his sachel to keep it closed and sped up to assuage his paranoia by getting away from the place
(fast gait is not running yet, come and get 'im) |
The force of the agility and the and cleverness of her move knocked kimiko to her back, Kimiko pounded the ground of the dirt in anger.I almost had the hideous wretch. She stood only to find out that the women in front of her that she had engaged in battle had rearmed her self, this wasn't good Kimiko her self was low on energy after those the weapons she had created and on a side not the army she was leading was agonizing..
Kimiko brought both sickles out and armed her self sliding her front foot foward staring down the women, chuckling as she mentioned the name Hades. "Don't you know anything, Azrael has nothing to do with your Friend Hades, He only serves our lord under the divine trinity." She sheathed her sickles once more and jumped back on her horse, her mood had lightened she could now understand why the women was stealing souls. "I shall pray for your sins to be forgiven young maiden for the lord forgives all, and you shall be in his good graces, but you will not die under my blade today." She rode the horse next to the women and offered her a hand onto the horse, Kimiko always has been and always will be the honorable type, If she didn't find reason to fight she wouldn't fight. Although she did find it necessary to find someway to offer her apologize to those she had falsely excuse, in anyway she could. "You were off to somewhere correct? May I help you to this place you were attempting to travel off too, Please i insist as an offer of sincere apology." Kimiko smiled you could see it in her eyes she was telling the truth, It was wrong what most people said about her she wasn't a freak or emotionless no one ever seemed to give here chance ever.. Lucien Struggled to get off the horse the pain in his body from overuse of his power was simply unbearable but he didn't care he had a vendetta to fulfill the life of all his soldiers to uphold.. All those family will never be the same and it was all not only the troop that killed them but his fault as well for not being there to save them. Lucien sit up onto the saddle and jumped off wincing in pain, but only for a brief moment he looked over at Mairi "Give me anything you have to help be ready for battle now, I must go kill that troop you will not stop me under stand." His voice was cold his eyes almost seemed as if they had no color and his body was still, Lucien was being serious and on the bad side stubborn. |
Niaz sank in the shadows like a panter. He had come across a soliary young man in the woods and much like the dark haired girl. He crouched in the bushes inspecting the dark haired man. He wondered if the young man spoke his language. He certainly had his skin color. He slowly rose to his feet creeping behind the man matching his pace traveling through the shadows.
|
Seeing Kimiko put away her sickles and get back on her horse, Noelle lowers the scythe, her strength was almost gone before the woman was offering her, a ride? She badly needed to get to the next town for rest, among other items. Accepting the offer, Noelle gets up on the horse's back.
"I don't know that much about whom is connected to whom, there's many Gods and all. And yes, I was hoping to go to the nearest town." Noelle pauses for a second, "And I am sure it will take more than the Lord to forgive me for those sins." |
Stopping as she saw him jump off the horse, she turned and narrowed her gaze on him. "Brother you stay with me for a little bit and I promise that I'll get you some medicine, so relax.Revenge can wait because I will not allow you to die." Sighing as she ground her teeth a little minute. "Now.... To give you the medicine that you require, I will need fresh spring water so you need to come to the river." Growling as she turned to lead her horse on, the sound of running water could be heard if you stopped to listen. "And if you don't believe me then talk to the gods if you can, water has more healing properties then you give it credit for."
|
the feeling of dread did not leave and sweat beaded down his back as he went back to a brisk jog. he knew he could take anyone in hand-to-hand but if the one watching him had a weapon he was screwed. running through the trees he came back to the place he had found the gang and halting quickly redirected himself to veer around the voice he could hear coming from the place, unfortunately his stalker was clever enough not to fall into the unintentional trap and followed close enough that he could hear a light bounce of something padded bouncing. he ran harder
|
Kimiko nodded as she helped the Women onto the horse she held her hand above the ground below and created yet another helmet made from bone Tied her hair up and place it around her head. "If its alright with you i rather keep my identity a secret." She giggled and kicked the side of the horse turning it quickly around and ordering the solder's to march along with her.
"Where are my manners, may i ask your name ,also why is such a gorgeous girl wondering about that suicidal forest." While on the road kimiko noticed a man, a small girl and a horse heading towards the river bank she gently nudged the women and went into complete silence pointing Toward Lucien,Mairi and the horse. Lucien sighed and whispered to himself "Its only magical because of your powers Mairi.." It was then he quickly covered his mouth mentioning her powers were taboo, it was one of the very few things Mairi was irritable about. He quickly changed the subject "Well i guess i could use a bath to get that smell off of me i do hate smelling like shit" Lucien chuckled and picked Mairi up placing her up on the horse, Following her onto the horse as well. "Im sure this will..." It was then he noticed a soilder dressed in black and white armor surrounded by troops, on a horse with noelle behind her.. "What in the world.. Mairi.. is that them!?!?" |
After a while Kanon blinked seeing how no one now was coming back then looked over to Cu who well was hard to talk with. Letting go of the older man's coat she bowed to him some. "I'm going to see if everything is okay with everyone. . . .they all just left. . ." she said to him oh how sad naive she was about not knowing what is happening around her. Turning away she headed down the path trying to find Lucien or even the women who seemed sad from before it's not like she was scared, okay she was. But now Kanon was far from home and had no idea what was going to happen out here.
So she was doing the only thing, that she knew well, find people she knew. Resting her hand upon the hilt of the swords by her hip she walked on trying to see if, she could find any one at all. While walking along she heard something in the woods, then looked back to see Cu was still as he was, but now what was the sound that came. Getting ready into a sword stance hand ready at the hilt of her katana looking around trying to see what was happening. |
Noelle chuckles, "That is a long story of why I am here. And I don't mind. My name? Noelle." she feels a nudge and glances at where Kimiko is pointing. Not saying anything cause really, she didn't want to deal with Lucien at the moment.
|
he was only halfway around the clearing when a girl popped out of nowhere and with no chance of avoiding her he took a proactive approach and sped up. meeting her chest with his shoulder he bowled her over and clumsily hopped one legged over her body to duck as she fell. he ignored the pain and quickly pinned her before righting them both and waiting for his stalker to come bearing arrows and malice, he nearly screamed as the girl turned into a huge fox
|
Being caught off guard and suddenly being slammed into by a person she had no idea what had happened but she did change into her fox form blue eyes wide as she had no idea what was happening losing her swords and pouch to the ground, Kanon started to panic some as she wiggled under the person trying to get to them as her ears flickered hearing another sound it was quick pace as if someone was running this way. Finally getting some thought back, she looked up at the other seeing it was person who had ran into her. "Who are you!" she yelled, trying as she continued wiggle under them to gather the swords and pouch, still listening to the other who was getting closer.
I am the manry-est of men! |
He came out of the clearning expecing to continue following the trail of the other, instead he found him cowering behing a young girl. His brows contorted in a small cloud of anger. He paused wondering if the animal would attack him, when Niaz was not even harmed. He paused seeing that the shield turn on its master. He couldn't help the small smile that crossed his face. He paused, the animal spoke. It spoke. He stumbled back groping his back and realized he left his weapon back his hearth. "<Demon!?>"
|
Hearing the person seeing them come out of the woods, Kanon knew she couldn't beat this kind of strength but, was a bit scared and confused this was the first time she had traveled so far from home and not understand what is happening at this moment why it had happened. Yelping some wanting to be freed from the others grip, she continued to wiggle some. Seeing the look on the new comers face it said something she didn't like. "What ever you think you are thinking I am not that!" she yelled.
|
he was surprised when he recognized the word but it fell to the wayside as the man's stare remained riveted on the fox-girl-thing in his arms and he realized the boy was nowhere in sight. when it started speaking he had to hold back another upwelling of fear and offence at it's unnaturalness and tightening his grip more took a shot in the dark, "<stop, go away fauna!>"
|
Mairi squeaked when she was moved so suddenly, then looked forward at his question. "Crap.... Yes, but you're in no condition to fight." She said in a strict tone as she gripped Kit's rein's tightly and gave a little prayer to the god she rarely believed in. Please Poseidon give my horse swift feet. I would rather not see brother die. Murmuring to herself as she jerked on the reins to get them moving.
"You get off this saddle Lucien, so help me, I will kill you myself." Grumbling as she spurred her steed to go deep into the woods. "Come on Kit... We need as far as we can get from those two.... I like Noelle, but we can't take chances since she's riding with a terrifying person." |
