Bible of Ichor: Septet for the Dead

Akyasha was happily smiling at the goddess' words and pondered them after. The woman had a good idea of what the goddess meant, though she wondered just how the landscape has changed since their time of passing. Perhaps even what was west at this point. It was a bit bothersome to remember. Though, she did remember the others in front of her. Lady Luna, Sir Dragan and Lady Ilena. She was quite happy to see the lot of them and had the urge to bring them all into a hug, perhaps a fragment of her prior days as a human that she had otherwise since long forgotten. Akyasha was, of course, not her name at the time. She had even forgotten that as well, but that aside, she took the moment to greet them.

"It's great to see the three of you again. Among the goddess, no less. Hopefully, you've not forgotten me in the long age since we last met." The cleric said with a smile. "So it is to the west we go then? I'm curious to see how this world around us has changed. Though, perhaps not as much upon further consideration." The Cleric thought on how her beloved city had changed, using the dreamscape Est had shown her as reference. "As for anything to note, yes. As Miss Giselle mentioned, I had encountered an interesting creature that I was both cautious and curious of. In fact, I would have loved to have informed you both earlier," Akyasha had stated, "But for some reason the both of you have decided I am a fool and I had no chance to elaborate."

"Now to start. As we made our way through town..." The Cleric had begun to regale the lot of other vampires of her discovery. Of the giant skeletal behemoth she witness, the ghost she had dispatched, the shadowy rats and of the corpse dressed as one of those doctors of a certain Vampire Lord. Then, finally, a brief version of her somewhat lengthy encounter with Est and what she assumed to be a dreamscape of Alavaris. "And of course, she gave me a warning about 'A man that looks like he’s seen far too much and a young girl that swings around dangerous weaponry too much'. After that, I come to you with rats in hand. As cautious I was of Est, she most likely kidnapped me to entertain herself before seeing me off and gifting the three of us a meal." The Cleric thought on it a small bit more and remembered one thing. "Bring you thoughts back to the man and girl I was warned of. I assume the man was the one you two encountered and how glad I should think we are not to encounter the other. While I can't verify the rat's claims, she also mentioned, 'That girl swings around a sword that contains the power of the Old Light.' It's a curious thing but not one I'd like to examine first hand."

Akyasha seemed finished with her tale at the time. "Forgive me should I have missed something. It's been such a short time since we have awaken and much has happened. With how confusing conversation had been with Est... Well, I'm still managing the thoughts in my head. Rest assured, should something come to mind I will bring it to your attention. Now, if you all would excuse me for some moments, with the blood I have I believe I can summon a cute little bat to help us scout our path forward." With that, Akaysha broke from the group for a short time to prepare for a summoning. While simple, she wasn't sure how tiring it would make her feel after so long. With their absence, she was not sure how difficult it would be to bring forth Ichor's chosen creatures.

The Storm Cycle: Reclamation

Luna sneared. Too many were dying. Her plan, whatever it may have been, had obviously failed. Well, the saying was "Plans don't live past first contact with the enemy". And then... There was this presence in her mind. A voice. She gripped her weapon before taking a small breath. No, she needed to keep her head. "Men! Hold these six off, use them as shields against their arrows. Kill them and none of you die." That was a command. Luna stabbed at the closest bandit to her before pulling the blade out and heading towards where the enemy reinforcements were coming from. "I'll win, on my terms."

The Knightess passed the, unbeknownst to her, sole surviving soldier from Niall's squad and run towards the biggest group of bandits coming at her. There were no other allied targets in the way now so she could go all out. "Watch as my sword of light tears you asunder!" Luna exclaimed as she charged at the bandits. She sheathed her sword and in her hands, appeared a large sword of light. It looked to be about as tall as she was and rather thick. Despite that, she seemed to wield it with ease. Her blade swung forward as she were closing into the group and she swung it in a confident attempt to bisect as many as she could. She couldn't keep this weapon up for too long, but she should be able to keep it up long enough without exhausting herself too much.

"How ungrateful the both of you! I get put in a dire position and this is the thanks I get?" Akyasha was justifiably angered. The Cleric pondered if she should help the either of them if they were in a bad situation again, considering how rude the two of the have been to her since they had woken up. She had made an oath to treat her sisters well but she felt, in the situation, that treatment didn't have to extend to the rudest of them. If their unlife were in danger, perhaps. Otherwise, they were on their own. This would not be a violation of the oath she had taken, surely.

It took some small amount of time, but the troop walked into the Cathedral proper and, as Akyasha was taking in the beautiful sight of it all, she noticed some few others here as well. Ilena, Dragan, and Luna and a thrall of some sort? Curious. "More of our fellows! Perhaps you all will be less of the rude sort than my current company." Akyasha said before hearing the voice of the Goddess. "Ahh! Goddess! To the balcony?"

The woman rushed to the top happily, "Goddess! I beseech thee, bless your unworthy children with thy words!" The cleric had said after practically sliding into a kneeling position at the top of the balcony. This was standard fare for the Cleric, of course.

Blades of Iron Roses: An Anime-Inspired Knight RP

The bandits that Shanil had run into were quite dead. She didn't even have to double check her handiwork. The elven woman took a look around to make sure none of the other bandit's slain by her comrades had survived... And she eased their suffering alright. If they had wounds that they would not recover from she put them down in the most humane way she could manage. This was the easy part. The hard part was the ones she couldn't just "ease into a forever sleep". She's just wave over a few men that could handle the situation from there. There was a desire to kill the ones that could be taken prisoner but she knew that it would be best not to.

The only thing she might have regreted in all this taking with the Iron Roses, is the distinct lack of allowing the rebels to suffer if she found them. That isn't to say she slowly bled them with tiny dagger cuts, but she would leave them with an untreatable gash. The woman stood in solitary thought. She didn't have much of anywhere to be unless she wanted to disobey their captain.

The elf thought more on this tradition of taking a mostly untested youth and putting them in charge of a military operation. How odd was it, that such a renown troop was headed by a young girl? The elf understood the tradition and what seemed to be of meaning behind it but it still sat as odd to her. Still, she was mostly sure that all enemy combatants were accounted for. As much as she wanted to sneak off early and crush the enemy forces, she didn't want to go against anything their Captain may have planned. Despite everything, she did have a Vampire as an advisor so even with her young age, she likely knew what she was doing.

The Storm Cycle: Reclamation

Luna cast another lightshield so that her men were completely safe from any skybound arrows, though the same could not be said for the bandits where Luna couldn't help but think some would suffer from friendly fire. After that volley of arrows, she allowed the shield to dissipate and then plunged her blade into the nearest bandit which was assaulting a soldier on her right. They were focused on her soldiers so she had free reign now right? Not unless they turned on her. She quickly pulled the blade out of his gut and spun, dispatching one of the bandits on the opposite side by a swift lopping off of his head.

The woman grit her teeth as she saw the corpses of some of her soldiers. Angry, she charged towards the left side of where she was originally and slammed into one of the enemies with her shield. The force of her running shield first into the man was enough to cause him to crash into his fellows and disrupt their formation a small bit. Hopefully enough for her men to do something. Regardless, she plunged her blade into the first bandit she hit, removed the blade and threw the man's body to the ground.

Akyasha was slightly taken aback. She had just returned but instead of being glad of her return one questions her and the other disparages through looks and then questions her. No, perhaps she should have known better. "Well, if you don't want your meal, you don't need to have it." Still, their questions where hanging in the air. "I'm really not sure what you want me to tell you. I stayed behind to see what was chasing us in case it would be able to follow us further. On my way back to meet up with you two, I saw some rats. Interested, I followed. Caught some rats and might have seen some shadow out of the corner of my eye as I said prior." Might as well protect Est a small bit. She had no idea what was going on between the two. "If something was that way, it might be gone by now."

"Ah, Aleksiya. Giselle." Akyasha said as she made her way through the places of carnage the two had left behind to find them talking to... A human? Hmm. She had to wonder if he was the man Est referenced earlier. And what was that he mentioned? Vermin escaped? Ah, he seemed to want her to tell him about the rats location. Est probably would have been long gone by now right? Well, she wasn't exactly sure why this guy wanted to catch her... Friend? "I did chance an encounter with some rats." The Cleric said as she showed off her bounty. "And perhaps caught sight of some shadows, though there's a large skeletal giant of some sort that way, though assuming that you're here at all, perhaps it would be a fair match for you."

Akyasha walked her way up to Giselle and Aleksiya and held the rats out to her comrades. "Anything else that went that way is probably long gone. Wish I could have caught more of these." Akyasha seemed fairly truthful about it. After all, Est was hopefully and likely long gone by now, right? "What has you chasing after vermin is a place like this?" She had to ask, curious about the situation.

Epic of Beginnings - Dawns Cradle

The tips of Vammy's fingernails grew hot. It wouldn't cause any permanent damage or anything but on sensitive feet it would feel unpleasant. The demoness would tickle the captive's feet harder. The firey feeling on her nails would be the only thing the soles of the captive would feel. "Now, perhaps you'd like to start us off with your name?" The demon asked as one of her hands slowly moved towards the dark-skinned woman's rear and gave it a nice grab. Her firey fingernails digging in a small bit.

"Besides, I think whatever I'm gonna do to you is a lot more fun than whatever she's gonna do to you." The demon said as her hands moved up a bit, poking spots on the woman's body. Her back, side, shoulders.... Before they found them tickling the woman under the arms this time, her fingers still uncomfortably hot. "Now~ Come on, speak up. I wanna hear your little secrets~" The demon spoke into her ear before giving it a warm nibble. "If you speak up, a nice little demon named Vammy will take very good care of you~" Soon enough, her hands would start to move... elsewhere nearby. Whether the woman spoke or not.

The Storm Cycle: Reclamation

As the first volley of arrows fell, Luna raised her sword arm and produced a light shield above the me with her angled so it would protect her and her men from the arrows but their enemies were exposed to it. From her raised sword position, it was easy enough to bring her sword down on the head of one of the bandits. His attempt to block it with his axe was meaningless as her magically enhanced blade sliced through the shaft, but diverted it enough to land the blow where his neck and shoulder met.

The other two had launched an attack at he which she deftly blocked with her shield. She slammed their weapons back with a shove of her shield as she slid her sword out of the bandit's gash and took a half step with her right foot before thrusting the blade forward to pierce the second's chest. It was fairly simple work for Luna as the bandits were more about brute force than brains. Unlike that formorian from the day prior. Still, something caught her attention. She peaked upward towards where Fio should be after dodging slightly to the right to avoid a blow from the third bandit on her.

She had expected Fio to be casting her magic on the position she was at but instead... It would seem to be inside the fort or on the other side that there was a hail of blades. Luna slammed her shield into the bandit's face knocking him back as she removed her sword from the second bandit's chest as she pulled her shield arm back again to deliver another smash to the face of the third bandit in front of her. She pondered on what Fio's course of action was but she worried because of that and one other thing. This was a lot less bandits than she had expected. The last smash to the face had knocked the bandit down prone to which Luna gave a loud warcry. "For House Lightsword!" Before bringing her blade down on the third one she had fought.
