"Humanity takes great pride in three things. Their willpower, their greed and their mortality.

Their will and endless greed allows them to grow and ascend past other creatures
But their mortality denies them divinity

It's a delightful purgatory between being Fallen and being Divine"

Can I post once more for Bast before the next round of posts?

I really, really loved @Silver Carrot and @AzureKnight's posts!!

Bast's shoes survived bloodthirsty kings and queens, mercenaries, bandits and a lot other things, but all it took was two words for them to be utterly ruined by two angry girls

PS: Eilidh is jealous~~ <3 <3 <3 so cute! painful.... but cute!

"Not that talkative? Oh but that's not fun, is it? Maybe I can change this a tiny bit?" Nailah asked as she and Allard walked towards where the weird dragon woman was waiting for them. Allard started to talk a bit about the other members of the alliance.

They sounded pretty interesting for Nailah. A seraphim guy named Mason, whom according to Allard was out cold when they arrived at the town of Pearl, a noble seraphim woman and two lassa girls were some of the members that Allard mentioned opther than the amazon woman that she saw at the inn, Siiga and the armored guy, Garret. Due to the way he was talking, apparently there were more but they didn't know each other that well... Maybe that group was just recently formed?

Finally arriving on their destination, Allard's voice as he pointed towards Dremmick interrupted Nailah's thoughts. At first, the dragon woman that called them was nowhere to be seen. Nailah almost thought that it was all just a prank or maybe a trap of some sorts but just when the rest of the members, or at least some of them, arrived, the dragon woman revealed herself. As she started to talk, Nailah couldn't help but keep staring at her. Her exotic appearance was unlike any other she had ever seen. Different from dragons and all other races... Her skin, both as white as marble and as black as dragon's glass, or obsidian as some called it. The more she looked at her and heard the dragon woman's words, the more her feeling that she wasn't a common dragon grew, until all her suspicions were confirmed...

After asking to keep her own identity a secret, the dragon woman gave a few steps back as a weird, unknown type of magic overflowed from her. It was unlike the magic Nailah saw other descended use... It was much more... raw, primitive and volatile... After a brief moment, the dragon woman showed her true form. Towering over even Allard himself, she was different from any other dragon Nailah had heard about. Even though her elegant body was smaller, leaner and more fragile than most of other dragons, the aura emanating from her was nothing short of terrifying. The oppressive primal magic coming from her was enough to make Nailah's insides tremble. Yet, even with all that pressure, it was clear that the female dragon didn't meant harm.

After apologizing herself and suppressing her aura, Nailah finally felt that she could breathe once more. Sophia, the guardian of knowledge, as she introduced herself, started to talk with a much more serious tone. Warning the group about the danger not only them, but all the descended would face, her words carried enough weight to eliminate any doubt that what she said might be only an exaggeration. Her warnings only became even more serious when she heard her talking about Nuxta and the Godsmith's hammer.

Whatever that 'Alliance group' was, it was apparently something pretty important... Their mission, as told by Sophia was of extreme importance. It sounded like she stumbled upon something pretty big... and interesting. As the dragon woman continued speaking, she tried to absorb as much as she could while simultaneously thinking about all that she just heard. Some of the things that Sophia said sounded a bit too big to be true... Almost as if it was something straight out of one of those books telling about things like the Dragon god, the first descended & etc, but the way Sophia was saying, the weight her words had and her expression said something entirely different. It wasn't exaggeration, nor merely a story. It was about to happen sooner than they all could expect.

It was then that Sophia said she had something to give the group. Something to aid them in their trials. Getting one of the strange, feather-like scales from her wing, she made a shallow cut on her hand starting a ritual. Words, symbols and magic circles were formed with her blood, quickly changing and circling around the scale and shortly after being absorbed by it. Even if Nailah tried to read them or memorize them, when she focused on them, she felt a sharp headache and was forced to look away. When the ritual was finally done, Sophia explained what exactly it was and asked to the group who would be responsible for it.

"That was... really... something..." Nailah murmured as she looked to Sophia, in a mix of awe, shock and admiration. She had never experienced nor felt something like that.

"What exactly are you guys after...? The godsmith's hammer? Nuxta?" Nailah asked, looking directly towards Allard's eyes, almost as if she was trying to read his thoughts as she leaned towards him.

"Those names... I heard them only in stories..." Nailah said, turning her head with a confused expression, followed by a moment of silence as she tried to put her thoughts in order. The usually flirty Nailah, whom always had a smirk on her face had a serious expression as she stood there in silence, absorbing all that she had just heard.

"I... technically I'm not yet a part of the group, so I believe that you should be the ones to decide... By the way, what she told you is right, you know? You guys should know more about each other... If what she said is correct, we will face a lot of things... We need to know and trust each other, right?" Nailah said after a while, returning to her usual self as she walked around the other members, close enough for them to feel her warm skin.

"I am Nailah, a priestess of the Fallen Goddess. Allard asked me to travel with him for a bit as a way to repay what I did for him, but I may stay for a bit longer now that I heard what Sophia had to say and saw you guys... You're quite the weird group, aren't you?" Nailah said with a giggle.

"After all, just like Sophia said, you will need all the help you can get. And I can be pretty~ helpful, you know?" Nailah said, winking playfully.
Sophia

@Rai @RumikoOhara @Jollan @Guy0fV4lor @Brithwyr

Sophia waited for a bit for the members of the alliance to arrive. When some of them arrived, she stepped forward from behind the trees. It was a shame that some of those whom she called weren't present, but nothing could be done regarding that. She was already breaking the oath she made to herself... Sure, the situation that the descended would face was beyond anything they had faced in a long while but still...

"I'm thankful for you all to attend to my call. Some of you already saw me back on Vrondi, yet... I was not entirely honest with you." Sophia said, looking to those present. Some of them she had already seen before but the most part were strangers to her. Other than those who were openly presenting themselves in front of her, Sophia could also feel one more presence, carefully hiding herself amongst the bushes. She wouldn't blame her if she didn't entirely trust Sophia, as it was true that she was, to most of them who never saw her before, basically a strange, unknown dragon woman.

"I ask of you to please keep my real identity a secret as not many who know me saw my human form." Sophia said, giving a few steps back as primal magic started to overflow from her tiny humanoid form, swirling around her as she transformed herself to her real form, her oppressive magical aura emanating from her, with it's pressure being almost palpable to those nearby her.

"Please, do not be afraid. There is no need to hide yourself, young one." Sophia said, looking to where Shye was hiding herself, without much success in making her show herself. After a moment without any answer or reaction from the one who was hiding, Sophia finally realized that she forgot to suppress her aura. Perhaps the primal magic emanating from her was making the one who was hiding even more wary of Sophia?

"I'm sorry... I sometimes forget to suppress my aura... Most of those who live near me on the gaian mountains are already accustomed to the primal magic overflowing from me... Sometimes I forget of how oppressive it can be to normal descended..." Sophia said with an apologetic tone, immediately suppressing her aura entirely.

"I am Sophia, the Guardian of Knowledge. I am the one responsible for maintaining the balance of magic in the world, of guarding forbidden knowledge that the descended are not ready to know." Sophia said, introducing herself.

"I made an oath to never interfere with the descended. I do not take sides on wars or political disputes between kingdoms. Normally, I am merely an observer, but I can't afford to simply watch and do nothing. The world is about to face a threat of unprecedented proportions. Bigger than any war between kingdoms, bigger than any conflict that you ever have seen." Sophia said, with a serious tone.

"Dark times are upon all of us. Old enemies rise once more, stronger than ever and new enemies appear by the second. Conflicts that can alter the balance of the magic and the world itself are about to happen. The mission given to your group is not merely a test to you as individuals, but its outcome can alter the fate of the world. The godsmith's hammer might be the only way to beat Nuxta. And if he isn't beaten soon, everything shall come to an end." Sophia continued, making sure that they knew the weight her words carried.

"Even though your journey has only began, you shall face trials that will test not only your abilities, but also your resolve, your wisdom, your knowledge and the very bond between yourselves. You will face many dangers and be tempted by many things, but you should never loose your focus or your resolve. You are not alone. All the descended, young and old stand by your side, I stand by your side." Sophia said, opening her right hand in front of her and cutting her skin with her claw. Taking one of the feather like scales from her wings, she made it float in front of her as the blood coming out of her hand formed many unknown magic runes, symbols and circles, which started orbiting around the feather-like scale, changing rapidly for a brief moment before being absorbed by it.

"When against overwhelming odds, facing a powerful enemy and without hope of wining, remember about me, pour your magic on this scale and I will come to your aid. Be careful though, as it will only work once." Sophia said, as the artifact made with her scale and her blood floated just above her hands as she lowered them.

"As a group, you should put your diferences aside. Trust your companions with your life and they shall trust you with theirs. Knowing your own companions is the first step to mutual trust. Thus, I ask you. Who amongst you believe is worthy of being responsible for this power?" Sophia asked with the artifact hovering just above her hand as she waited for the group to come to a decision of who should carry her scale.

After handing the artifact to one of them, Sophia would give a few steps back, bowing slightly to them.
"I trust you all, young descended. I believe you have what's necessary to overcome all obstacles, complete this trial and change the fate of the world. You are the beginning of a new age, an age where descended of all races and kingdoms stand united against a common enemy. Go now, and do what you must." Sophia said before flying away.
Bast Ragoczy


As Bast waited for Eilidh's reply, he felt someone tugging at his coat. It was Vară, asking him if they would get in trouble for saving George, a drug dealer and killing the 'innocent' mercenaries. Truth be told, Bast himself didn't care much about that situation. The mercenaries attacked them first. He only defended himself. Innocent or not, they were already dead.

Other than that, Bast didn't expect the overconfident and spirited demoness could show such a cute and adorable side as she tugged his coat with a nervous expression.

"Oh my adorable, little Vară, who knows? Innocent or guilty, we were merely defending ourselves. They attacked us without asking questions. The outcome was obvious..." Bast replied, with a smirk.

"But you know... Nobody needs to know what really happened here, don't you agree, adorable Vară? If what George said turns out to be true, the Shrine of Eros will certainly thank you for what we did. And well... If it's not... we can always turn him to the authorities..." Bast said, shrugging. For him, the outcome of that little misunderstanding was really of no importance.

"By the way Vară, I didn't know that the proud, confident heiress of the Riemsianne house had such a cute and adorable side..." Bast said laughing.

Just as Bast finished talking to Vară, George started talking again, saying that the authorities wouldn't be glad to see him. But as fishy as that man sounded, it was undeniable that solving the problem of Ravager's Rest was indeed a good thing. Plus, if it turned out to be a lie or if the plan doesn't work, they could simply take him to the authorities... Or maybe simply kill him.

"The little man sounds fishy, but I'm rather curious about where this will lead us..." Bast said as George rode away.

"We should head back to the guildhall." Bast heard Titanica saying, as she slowly started walking back to the guild.

Freyr


As the archery competition continued, Freyrcouldn't help but let out an unsatisfied grimace as he shot his arrows. Even wielding a different bow, Freyr was still a natural at wielding it. He was born and raised with a bow on his hands, but it was undeniable that he was already accustomed with his personal bow. The one the competition gave them was too small and light, making Freyr a bit uncomfortable when shooting it.

Ditzy and Nagare were already trying to speak with Saburo when the break was called. If they were lucky, Saburo would be interested about the Vieran arrows. In the meantime, Freyr had to concentrate himself and try to do his best with a bow that was unfit for his size and his skills. As he was drawing the bow, trying different stances to see which one would feel better for him, he felt something poking his back.

Turning to see what it was, Freyr was greeted by a familiar face and a pleasant voice. It was Haley. According to her, she had some things that delayed her back at the guild but she was finally there.

"So! What're we doing?" Haley asked, with the same refreshing, cheerful tone that was characteristic of her.

"We are trying to get one of these arrows..." Freyr said, taking one from the quiver and showing it to Haley.

"To deliver them to a weird couple that seems to... collect... things from nobility...?" Freyr said, still a bit confused about how to describe that... exotic couple they met.

"The master craftsman responsible for those arrows is Saburo Fujikiyo. He forbid anyone to take his arrows from the competition, but we still need at least one... Ditzy and Nagare are talking to him to see if he would like to trade one of his arrows by one of mine, a Vieran arrow... In the meantime, I need to win this competition to be able to face Saburo himself." Freyr explained to Haley while still examining the bow he was given.

"But... the bow that we need to use for this competition is very... different from mine...." Freyr said, putting both bows side by side as he showed them to Haley. The difference between both bows was immediately noticeable. While the competition bow could be easily drawn by most people, Freyr's bow was much more difficult to draw and to use, thanks to it's unique shape, wood and handling. Even for someone who didn't know much about bows, it was clear that those two bows were completely different from one another.

"It would be much easier if I could use my own bow, see?" Freyr said as he got one of his own arrows, his own bow and aimed at the target that was being used at the competition. In a swift motion, Freyr nocked the arrow, twisting his wrist a bit before shooting it. The weight of his own bow, coupled with the way he shot the arrow sent it spinning through the air, not only hitting the target with an almost impeccable accuracy, but going through it, piercing it completely, making the arrow get stuck on the thick wooden frame that was being used as a support for the target.

"I still don't understand why Saburo is so... paranoid with his arrows. Arrows are meant to be shot. Be it hunting or fighting." Freyr said as he walked towards the practice target to fetch his own arrow from behind it. Since they were on break, it shouldn't be a problem for him to go there since most of the other archers in the competition were either talking with each other or adjusting their bows.

Karina Frost


Karina could still smell the uncomfortable atmosphere in the air between her, Chres and Hark, and it was unlikely that it would get any better... Regarding the new arrivals, while they could certainly use all the help they could get to get out of that city alive, that also meant two more strangers... That entire situation was far from ideal...

“Regardless of all that, thank you, Soldier, for continuing to assist us.” she heard Chres saying. While she appreciated him thanking her, him calling her a soldier made her let out an unsatisfied stare. She knew that talking about military ranks with those who didn't knew much about the military was useless, but it was still annoying to hear someone referring to her merely as a soldier and not as Lieutenant Colonel.

Just as Chres turned to talk to the healer though, something wrapped around Chres' feet, pulling him to the air before slamming him to the rooftop below him with full force, immediately making him unconscious.

The strike was fast and sudden, getting all of them by surprise. Before Karina herself could even do anything, Chres was already on the ground. She silently cursed herself and Hark, by creating the perfect opportunity for their enemy to attack them. Unsheathing her rapier, she pointed it towards the woman responsible for what happened with Chres. It was that sightless whom they met before. Syella.

Týfurkh, the giant who came together with the healer was quick to aim his crossbow at her, getting ready to fight. Syella in the other hand, simply smirked at him. Karina didn't know why exactly she was looking for the healer, but it was clear that she wasn't happy at all after Chres' familiar threw things at her. In just the blink of an eye, she turned her long fingers into deadly sharp claws, growling through gritted teeth.

Immediately after seeing her transforming her fingers like that, cold air surrounded Karina as the air froze around her, making the ice blades appear once more, pointing towards Syella with their crystal clear points and their cold, cruel edges.
Neither of them knew nothing about Syella's skills or even how she fought. Karina couldn't afford to even speak. She was completely concentrated on every movement Syella made.
Sorry for the delay, will have my post done tomorrow! :-)

Nina




@Hekazu



Nina wasn't going to lie, the rapping of the fingers that one of the mans was doing on it's gun was starting to get on Nina's nerves. It was a simple negotiation, or at least it was supposed to be simple. She had the info and the means to gather more. They only needed to say if they wanted it or not, but they were so ridiculously careful around her she started to wonder if being honest like she was being right now was actually making any difference. At that point, she wasn't trying to hide her annoyed expression anymore.

When she mentioned the man wearing the beanie and the trench coat, both men got visibly more interested. For Nina herself, they should pay more attention at the bigger picture and not about a single messenger, but they were the clients... As long as she was getting paid, she would let them know even what type of underwear that trench coat guy was wearing... When one of them confirmed the information she gave them and said he would cut out of her payment, Nina let out an audible annoyed sigh.

"Of course... I should have expected..." she thought to herself. Truth be told, she was being honest about all that. While she did knew some things about what was happening, she was hoping for them to let her know exactly what they wanted to know about and then she would dig deeper for that information but at that point, seeing how things were going, Nina wasn't expecting something like that... They would probably just hand her a few euros and that was it. But when one of them mentioned the partnership once more, she couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

"I don't know why you two are being so paranoid and careful... I am unarmed, you know? Just look at my clothes..." Nina said, spinning around once so they could see that she was really unarmed.

"As I said before, I needed to know what exactly you two are interested in, what exactly you guys want to know so then I can start digging deeper about it... For that, I needed to tell you guys first a little bit about everything happening, watch your reactions & etc..." Nina said, shrugging.

"Honestly, I would be careful about all this if I were you guys... Lt. Davison, Murkywater... We're talking about mega corporations here possibly more than one... Neither me or you would stand a chance against them if they went all out..." Nina said, crossing her legs.

"Something tells me that all this thing about Lt. Davison may be much bigger than we think..." Nina said, just as they tossed the payment on the table in front of her.

"Ooh~ Much appreciated!" Nina said, with a singing tone, taking her payment and putting it on her pocket.

"About that gang up though. Wanna talk more 'bout it? Cuz I'll be heading out anyhow, and it won't hurt to have people on the side." Nina heard one of the two talking just as she got up.

"Sure, why not?" Nina asked, with a smile.

"Just promise me that you wont continue tapping your gun like you was a while ago... That sound was starting to get on my nerves..." she said with a laugh as she waited for the man.




@Jollan



Nailah laughed as she watched Allard's enthusiastic response to her saying that she would travel with them. Her intuition wasn't wrong. The man was indeed a gentle giant. As he started talking about the Amazonian woman, Nailah got a bit interested. According to his own words, she was a strong and proud woman and wouldn't be affected by such a small thing like being rejected.

"I can imagine that. She certainly doesn't look like someone who would sulk over small things... Still... I don't appreciate being the second option... I'll be sure that she will regret not giving me enough attention..." Nailah said, with a giggle and a mischievous smile.

It was then that Allard mentioned the other members of the Alliance. Whatever it was their mission, it sounded interesting enough to be worthy of a closer look.
Before Nailah could say anything though, a new arrival, and a very peculiar one at that, walked inside the inn asking the alliance members to follow her. A dragon woman unlike any other Nailah had seen in her entire life. Her skin was at the same time as white as the moonlight and as dark as the night, a long hair as white as her skin. She didn't know exactly why, but Nailah had a small feeling about that dragon woman. It wasn't only her appearance, but something told her that the dragon woman was... unique... in some way.

If the Alliance was interesting before, now Nailah was even more curious about it. Whatever it was that group's goal, they were important enough to have a dragon, and not a normal one, to come to them...
"That is really... interesting... Even more than I previously thought!" Nailah said to herself with a smirk as she watched the dragon woman walking away.

"Well, this should be a good opportunity for you ta see tha others at least," Nailah heard Allard saying as he stood up, holding his hand to help Nailah get up.

"Oh, I wouldn't want to lose this by nothing... It's getting more interesting by the second!" she said, with a smirk.

"By the way, aren't you quite the gentleman?" Nailah asked with a mischievous smile, accepting his help. The second she touched him though, even though she wasn't using her charm, he would definitely feel how soft and warm her skin felt against his.

Walking together with Allard to where the dragon woman said to meet her, they passed in front of the strength competition. She did notice a few things, like how some people appeared to recognize Allard, whispering to one another and how Allard himself shook his head, mumbling to himself as they passed in front of it. It seemed that Allard himself used to compete on that festival, and according to his reaction, it was much bigger a few years ago.

"I wonder how the rest of the group looks like... And that dragon woman... She doesn't looks to be just a common dragon, right?" Nailah said, looking to Allard as they walked.
