"Take a look at this then." Luther revealed toward Nathan a ring that the woman had given him earlier showing it to him closely. "All I know is that she gave me this ring and wants you to come. This ring is how i found you." He paused momentarily showing Nathan more closely and allowing him to examine the ring before he decided to put it away. He couldn't give Nathan the ring yet. Not until Chloris was safe, but for now he'd hold onto it until they returned. "Anyway, She said it had to be me and she has taken Chloris hostage so the only one who I could naturally ask for help is you. It's most likely a trap so we better prepare ourselves for the worst." He said as he tried to persuade Nathan to come with him. If he wouldn't do it for his reasons then perhaps the ring would give him a better reason to go with him. Luther knew it was a trap and was very aware that the woman who was holding his girlfriend hostage was not someone that you should underestimate. If she worked with Aodeos then she was probably just as dangerous as his old friend was. "Look, the woman who is holding her captor said it had to be you. She's forcing me to do her own dirty work only, because she's working with a snake like Aodeos. I'll explain the rest later. We must hurry!" Luther explained as he started to walk back in the direction of where he had come from earlier. He wasn't going to completely take the same root back. In fact, he had a plan though he didn't want to say anything about it yet. He decided on parts of the route where he could actually take detours that would lead him to the back of the house could play a strategical advantage. If they could get behind the people who were causing problem then perhaps they could turn the tables and free Chloris in the process without having to give them anything in return. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chloris followed the woman willingly into the house though she tried to reach toward her side to grab her father's dagger which was hidden. There was a special pouch that was built into her clothes that was able to hold it in case she got into these kind of predicaments. Her hands started to move slowly toward the pouch so she didn't arouse any suspicion toward the woman that she was up to something. If she could get the dagger then she could work on cutting her wrists free. Slowly making her hands toward the pouch she flipped it open and pulled out a slender short bladed small dagger which she took into her hands. She slowly and gently without alerting the woman she was up to something started to cut away at the ropes with its very sharp blade. "Lady Siia, it's been a long time since we last confronted each other." The sneer that beamed up across his face was enough to invoke the flames of enmity and discomfort for the other girls. They really did not like Aodeos, but they knew how very dangerous he was along with those who were affiliated with his cult. Aodeos was one of the most powerful cult leaders in existence though Siia knew he erased his very existence from records by using time jumping. An effective method toward avoiding detection on the chronological scale and making it completely look like you're nonexistent. It was a strategy that Siia had employed in the past to win the various wars she war when she used to be a strategist and advisor. It was really unknown why she was with three other women, but it was obvious they were all there for one reason and that was the AoD Cult leader. Siia ignored Aodeos humor where she brought herself to say to him while remaining calm and composed, "I don't really care about our past meetings.They only thing that is important to me at the moment is making sure you stop breathing. Until you do, I'll never be satisfied." "Such vulgar words from a heartless woman." Those words were enough for him to crack another grin at her which in return caused her face only to glower. This brought amusement toward Aodeos since he enjoyed to watch the heartless ice queen frown at him. He was very much turned on by her icy cold gazes that laser beamed across the room and the frigid smiles that could freeze like a Medusa. Her words were so forceful and passionate that it brought glee toward his humiliation he brought upon her. The pink haired girl wearing the skirt had a more serious look embracing her face and her eyes burning with the flames of indignation. He knew all too well about her painful lightning she wanted to bring force in brute force and punish those who dare use others like they were pawns, especially to force leverage upon others who they could forcefully use as servants holding leverage on them all the while. "You might think this is funny now, but you won't be laughing when we are done with you!" Melianth exclaimed as she drew her two swords into her and prepared herself to combat these people. The silver haired maiden turned her attention toward the other pink haired girl ordering her to follow the woman who walked off with the hostage. "Reala, pursue that reprehensible woman. Siia and I will hold the front from here. You must go right after that woman, because the girl she has in her clutches might be in real danger." Miia alerted Reala as the other three women were going to stay behind to deal with Aodeos and his cronies. Miia had heard about the history of that woman before and leaving that girl in her hands was really a bad idea. Since the girl was restrained that made it easier for that loathsome woman to control the situation. If they could surprise her from behind then perhaps they could make everything more favorable for them. "I'm on it!" Reala remarked as she jumped up on the roof and when Aodeos ordered his men to stop her that is when Melianth barred their path allowing her clear path toward getting to the back of the house. Reala made her way swiftly but with complete stealth toward the other side of the house while the other three battled Aodeos and his men. She was a bit worried about Melianth, but when she looked back she saw her wink at her which only made Reala nod and stay on task. Siia and Miia both stood right in front of Aodeos while Melianth confronted the member of his Ten Gods Wisemen Duress. Siia and Miia had rather very serious expressions on their face where Aodeos remained calm as ever. He didn't even flinch nor did he show any sign of fear or discomfort. He grinned at the thought of having to face two of what he thought were the most beautiful women he had ever seen. Miia had a beautiful personality while her sister Siia had all the looks and was more beautiful on the outside than Miia. "I must say, it's truly an honor to get to face the two Chaos Sisters." He remarked with a sneer that widened on his face as he drew his scythe chain hook into his hand. Duress had a very calm and composed look on their face too. They weren't at all taken back by the one many called the Holy Knight of Elia. They knew there were a lot of people out there who both loved and hated this person. Duress wasn't really a fan of them, but this was a challenge that was worthy of his recognition. Someone who would test Duress skill and make him have to utilize all his abilities to win. "So you're Meira's mother?" "Meira's mother? Who is Meira?" Melianth questioned not having any idea who that was and when she was distracted by that is when Duress attacked and managed to knock her off her feet, but when he tried to follow up she recovered where he stared at her with a smug look on his face. "Rule number one, don't become distracted. The fact I distracted you with that statement was enough for you to let down your guard."
