The realm of dreams will always be a strange one, whether dreaming of the past or something fantastic, when you are in the moment everything seem to make sense even if the ground is much closer to your face than you remember, although right now it would seem your body is taller, you don’t know why you’re here, it seem this time you aren’t really you, even if you feel in your own body, this more than likely mean you are keeping a much larger grasp on your consciousness than before.

Your vision is one of trees covered snow with a heavy amount of snowflakes falling on the already dense covered ground, heavy booth buried up to the ankle, you seem to look over this scenery with a feeling of sad nostalgia, leaving you confused a bit as to why you would be so solemn at this scenery.

‘’Think she’s asleep?’’

You can clearly hear your voice coming out of your mouth this time, it would seem this vision of the past is talking to someone behind him, yet not turning, and leaving you unable to see who this elusive companion could be.

‘’Yes, Yes I’m certain of it’’

The voice is warm, clear, strong and feminine, this other you suddenly put something on his face, obscuring your vision, a helmet? A mask?

‘’Some comfort can be found with the fact this area didn’t suffer the Purge’’

His voice is strong, commanding, yet vulnerable, something that was clearly absent from you.

‘’Si-‘’

You feel him heaving a heavy sign, interrupting the lady, eyes still forward in the tress and snow.

‘’I’ve got my duty, this civil war must end before everything, better to leave her asleep, at least that what I want to make myself believe’’

You saw your encounter with the snow lady, could this have been farewell? This you from the past seem heavy with regret and guilt.

You can’t help but feel angry and revolted at this.

A part of you still want to sleep.

Wake up?

Follow the dream, so stay asleep.

Stay asleep.

You aren’t really sure you’ll be able to remember the next part.

This past you turn around, looking at his companion, all you see is the clothes of this person.

Similar to your own, heavy garment similar to a robe but made in three pieces, reinforced with a breastplate.

Her clothes are of a pale, deep red.

A pale deep red that send a brief shock right through your skull, filling you with a brief feeling of dread.

‘’If I could stay all day and scream, I’d do it’’

Cold and strong, the voice from your other you seem unfamiliar.

You concentrate on the face of this lady, her long, elegant brown hair cascading along her back, neatly placed to avoid her face.

Her face is absent, her voice is warm, beautiful, but it seems that this dream is becoming a nightmare.

You feel slightly nauseous; you want to forget the color of her clothes.

To escape this reality.

Calm down and Foucs. This is a vision it can not hurt you if you do not let it. It is time to wake, but do not forget this as you wake.

Looking straight ahead, her concealed faces leave no hint beside her voice that warms your heart a bit, as if she was a long forgotten friend, or maybe a kin. Behind you is the forest, left here by the mages to keep a spot of nature where many of the students, and even teachers, can laze around a bit, yes this place saw many a romance bloom and, as you leave the dream while conquering the fight of the nightmare just a bit, you also know that, right here in this calm retreat of the world, is a girl that you need to wake.

Then your eyes open, only to see a… roof?

A white, rather plain one too, you are in a bed as well, looking around, it seem that you are in a rather… luxurious room, if plain, with about 4 others bed lining at your sides and not one window, walls of stones, lamp put beside the wooden door with a symbol of what look like a tiger. The old kind, not the monster.

Feeling the swirl of magic inside you, you let go of the Focus as the two dreams you had remain crystal clear : A Yukionna, no a… Yukiwarashi you encountered as a boy and… someone with pale, deep red clothes, similar to your own.

You feel like you don’t want to remember that part.

Also speaking of clothes, you are wearing nothing save some comfortable light pants, probably pajama. Where the hell are you?

>>17217854

>forgot mah trip

>>17217854
Get up and cross to the door. Stay as quiet as possible, and see if there is anything we can hear. Explore beyond the room.

Yay, in time for this quest!

Still feeling a bit under the weather, you get up and manage to avoid a brief shiver as your feet touch the cold ground of worked stones, you stretch a bit while walking to the door, making sure there no other occupant in the room.

After a rather loud ‘’Crack’’ coming from your back, you open the door as quietly as possible and are greeted by a rather spacious hallways with some painting of landscape here and there, ground still of stones and it seem the roof changed to less esthetic stones as well.

Hmm...

Staying as quiet as possible, head out the door, your ears pick up some rather land clacking from, probably, a pair of boots coming in your direction, there a long hallway to your left that stretch god know where while the right one end in a door, probably leading… somewhere, the sound come from there, the person is most likely very close.

>>17217921
Anyplace in the room where we can remain out of immediate sight to anyone who enters the room? Whilst retaining our view of the entrance?

>>17217921
If it's possible to get there in time, flatten against the wall on the hinge side of the door, so that when whoever's coming opens it, we'll be concealed.

If we can't get there in time, go back to the room we were in and hide behind the door.

>>17217941

You could always try hiding under one of the beds but as you look around the room from your position, it’s pretty easy to see the whole area. The beds are plain, no curtains.

This is most likely an infirmary

>>17217960
Hiding under a bed lacks a certain dignity.

Pressed up against the door as per >>17217954
seems like a good idea

You close the door softly and not a second later, you hear the others ones opening rather loudly.
Lucky for you, the door to this room is right in the middle, thus you hide on its right side where it would open, thank to you doing it just few second later. You hope to good the person won’t kick it open, you could always try to keep your distance a bit but your shadow coming from the lamp would most likely give your position away.
Not a second later, the handle of the door budge a bit, quietly and with a soft crack of old wood, it open slowly, making sure to offer no sudden movement and stopping only halfway, not even close to touching you

‘’What?’’

The voice is clearly feminine; however the door block your vision of this would be intruder who seems too confused, for only a very short time as her boots start to enter the room.

>>17218015
This situation could go any sort of way. Stay where you are. Gauge her reactions.

>>17218015
Remain concealed.

>>17218015
Silently push the door shut so that we can see who has entered

She enter the room and you see her back, only seeing a few spot of blond hair coming out of what look like a ceremonial hat maybe ? Still, its attached to some sort of long curtain, masking everything you can see beside a long, slender hairless leg coming out of her right, her waist supported something like a half cape, very decorative as it touch the ground. A Sword is also placed here but it looks… thin, much too thin to be called a sword, also both her hands seem to have a white, brilliant tattoo of a cross and you can see.

You only have a few seconds to try something or simply stay there, she entered the room now and will most likely feel your presence, and the only reason as for why this didn’t happen right away is because of the two consecutive yawns she did while entering.

>mfw can'T seem to upload a picture

>>17218183
Shut the door.
"And you would be?"

>>17218183
Focus. Ask her what she's doing here, in that authoritative voice we always use.

>>17218183
Shut the door quietly.

"Looking for someone?"

The door close, loudly, as you step in front of it, crossing your arms on your bare chest, summoning as much authority and dignity as you can muster even placed in some pant pajama.

Of course the lady turn around, surprised and visibly winces when you enter focus, your nerves becoming a deep, visible blue, pouring magic energy into your whole body, probably looking demonic to some ignorant rabble.

‘’And you would be?’’

You say your voice deep, strong and cold.

There a heavy silence as the two of you glare at each other’s, the lady in her decorative garment doesn’t budge but she does look you straight in the eyes.

‘’What are you doing here?’’

Voice full of intimidating authority, you wait for your demand to be answered, never once allowing your gaze to wander form her eyes even with the clear charms her conservative look give, this visible leg is quite the temptation.

Then she sigh, clearly not intimidated by your display

‘’Could you, please, drop the magic? I doubt you know where you even are right now, trust me, you are in friendly territory’’

>>17218313

>Again with forgotting trip

>>17218313
"You're right, I don't know where I am. So tell me."

>>17218313
"Answer a few of my questions, and then we'll see where things go from there. First, where am I? Second, how did I get here? Third, who the hell are you?"

You don’t yield. Her voices trail off; adding a stop in the conversation as you continue to look at her, it feels like this kind of… treatment was almost beat unto you

‘’ You’re right, I don’t know where I am. So tell me.’’

You don’t budge from your spot, still full of magic, the woman tilt her head at you, smiling, perhaps even amused.
‘’Making demand out of a member of the church?’’

You simply nod, sustaining her eyes without any problem
‘’Well you certainly aren’t made of the same clothes of the various nobles I’ve met…’’

Again her voice trail off as she seem momentary lost in thought, grapping a strand of her golden hair as she roll it with her finger.

‘’You are in Crosswalk, in the manor of the lord of the city himself, Sir Dampierre Xenon’’

This make you frown, how the hell did you even get here? Last thing you remember was… eating some kind of black serpent with your hand.

‘’Sec-‘’

The lady interrupt you with her free hand, continuing her treatment of her hair with her other, her green eyes peering right at you, probably just as full of defiance as your authority.

‘’Yes yes I’ll tell you, I’m pretty sure I know what you want to ask, no need to trample all over this poor young Purifier now, do you?’’

You simply stay silent and glare at her

‘’You feel a bit young to give the same aura of a grizzled general, anyway you got here thank to a Minotaurus that was employed by the crown, reason why she entered the city by the way, seem like she ran quite the distance too. You were asleep for two days straight after that, my schedule with the daughter of the Lord is quite occupied but I took some time to try and find your… illness but, to be frank, I had no idea what to do, your body was healthy if a bit stinky and you didn’t need drink or even to be moved, it was like you were… stuck in time.’’
>Field too long

Her green, vigorous eyes give you a look that you’re not sure to like. The lady then smiles and nods her head

‘’Now then per-‘’

‘’Who are you?’’

You interrupt, the girl stay silent, but her smile broaden a bit

‘’My my…’’

She scratches her cheek a bit

‘’Leila, I left my last name when I joined the church. Leila, traveling Purifier. And you?’’

>>17218486
I can't recall did we come up with a name for ourselves?

>>17218486
Go with the alias from the dream "Sigg"

>>17218509

You did not, the only hint of your old name is ``Siggy`` from your previous dream.

>>17218522
>>17218526
In that case, perhaps something more noble sounding?
Sigismund perhaps?

>>17218534
Sounds good

>>17218534

I don't see a problem with adopting this alias

>>17218534
I'm down with this. We should also come out of Focus and ask her if the Minotaurus was followed by anyone or if anyone has come calling after us. We need to link back up with our companions.

Incidentally, INH, can we feel anything through our soul bond? I recall something about being separated from our companions causing issues.

Got to come up with something quick, your mind wander back to the dream and the blue, playful little girl
Siggy, siggy… siggy..

‘’Sigismund’’

Your voice isn’t totally sure, the gleam in the eye of the woman makes you know she picked up on that.

Still in Focus, you continue to glare at her in silence

‘’Well then, Sigismund, could you please drop your magic? You need not fear me, my magic is one of Holy nature and cannot harm humans, and you are, of course, free to leave…’’

She trail off a bit, then look at you

‘’I could, of course, show you to the bathing area, you were probably bloodied before coming here and two day resting in a bed is bound to make you feel in need of cleaning, thankfully it’s the middle of the night so I doubt the few wake servants would mind seeing you in your state’’

…is she mocking you?

You stay silent and try to feel your precious soul link, its faint but there, it’s not strong however, like a pulse if you reach for it, you feel it, but easy to miss.

Maybe asking her for your companions, or the presence of the Minotaurus, would be wise.

>>17218554

Posted before seeing your message, but I think what I wrote might be a good compromise.

>>17218637
De-Focus, ask her if anyone came with the Minotaurus or afterwards looking for us.

It might be a good idea to take her up on the offer of a bath, but even if we don't we need clothes.

>>17218637
Drop out of focus and ask if she knows where any of our friends are. Oh! and apologize for the focus, adventurers instincts and all

>>17218646

In that case, this >>17218554 gets my vote

You concentrate, steel your will, then inspire loudly as you force the Focus out of your mind, closing your eyes, then looking back without having lost a single amount of your composure, looking straight at the Purifier as she smile, then nod.

‘’Please pardon the rudeness of me entering a combat state, as you can guess my life is rather…’’

The pretty girl lifts her index and places it on her rosy lips, smiling at you

‘’You need not be precise, Sigismund, you were simply cautious and I respect that.’’

Still, before picking up her offer, you need some others questions answered, the Purifier study you for a bit then stop moving, having guessed your instinct right.

‘’Was the Minotaurus that… saved me accompanied ?’’
You don’t really need to ask anything else, the lady eye you a bit then cast her eyes down, probably feeling some empathy toward you.

‘’Nay, she came here requesting loudly for me, actually, she’s still here, she was preparing to leave in the morning however.’’

This gives you some mixed feelings.

Can someone upload the image for a monster girl purifier?

>>17218816
Kind of makes sense that the Minatourus is alone, they can probably travel faster than our other two companions could

>>17218816
"I would appreciate it if you could take me to her. At the moment, though, I feel rather... underdressed."

>>17218829

I've pretty much invented that and I do have the perfect picture for Leila, but my interent is being a bitch and I can't seem to upload it

>>17218859

>forgot mah trip. Again.

>>17218859
Do you remember where you got it?

>>17218816
Well, if they didn't come with her they might be with her now or trying to find her. We should probably bath and then go and find the minataurus

>>17218880

Found it on Danbooru, but I do think I got it when checking out the Monster Girls Encyclopedia.

>>17218898
So it'd be here, then?

http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/index?tags=monster_girl_encyclopedia

>>17218964

Hmm I looked at that and didn,t found it, might have been Pixiv Fantasia. If my internet wasn't a brick tonight, I'd have uploaded the picture for Leila.

>>17219009
If you happen to find it somewhere, you can just link it.

You nod, gravely, looking at the Purifier in the eye, rubbing you chin a bit, then close your eye and feel yourself nodding again.

Seem like you got quite a few… quirk.

‘’Could you please lead me to her then? But I do feel rather…underdressed’’

You look at your chest while doing so and the notice numerous scars covering it, nothing too big, certainly visible to anyone looking. You do manage to keep the surprise from appearing on your face, hmm, you really had a violent life didn’t you?

‘’Worry not for your clothes, the servants made sure to take great care of them, after all the garments of a mage are very cultural in this country. Follow me then, Sigismund.’’

She seems in a rather good mood, why? You also spied a mischievous look before the two of you departed for the long hallway, away from the door she came in, her boots and your feet producing a very different sound, the stones underneath aren’t that warm and without Focus, you can clearly feel it.
Still she’s leading you to one of the door after a good 3 minutes of walking, you saw several windows leading to a small garden but here, seem like the door lead to a closed room with steam leaking out of the door.

‘’Here is the bath, changing area for the men to the right.
The mercenary is already in, so you could accompany her tonight, and ask what you need of her.’’

Seriously?

>>17219056
Ask Leila where we can find her if we need her. Then change.

We're too awesome to be embarrassed.

>>17219054

Found it

http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1123834

>>17219056
"My thanks for your help, it will be useful to know what became of my companions.

Where can I find the mercenary?"

>>17219056
Wait for the minatauras to leave then take a bath.
Remember, don't be creepy! People are nicer that way

>>17219201
I don't think she would find that creepy. The opposite, really.

But that could present issues.

>>17219151
Seems I misread the post.

The Minataurus is in the bathhouse already?

In that case I agree with >>17219201. We know little about this country/war/setting. We can use this as an opportunity to learn more. It would be useful to learn more about the purifiers for example.

So then is it waiting for the Minotaurus to finish her bath?

>>17219056
...go in and swap fight tales of the battle with the minotaurs...BE A BRO.

>>17219278
Looks like it's two for going in and two for waiting.

>>17219201
As long as we avoid being perverts, I'm ok with going in

>>17219056
...go in and swap fight tales of the battle with the minotaurs...BE A BRO.

elaboration: Minotaurs work for the crown...they might also know more about what is going on.

Plus making friends is a GOOD thing no matter where we are

Hmm. Need a tie breaker, sicne we have too option unless another vote came in while I posted this, might as well go for the bath

bathe with minotaur. not like that, just take a damn bath.

Go in and swap fight tales of the battle with the minotaurs...BE A BRO.

Elaboration: Minotaurs work for the crown...they might also know more about what is going on.

Plus making friends is a GOOD thing no matter where we are

>>17219348
>>17219322

Normally I am a HUGE fucking perv and big ass Mino tits would be AWESOME...however I am reining in my hormones because of my fore mentioned reasons.

Plus they still owe us PAYMENT for our services.

>>17219391
>Plus they still owe us PAYMENT for our services

I forgot about this. I'd wager our companions are holding our cut for us, though.

>>17219391
She carried us all the way here so we shouldn't take all the payment. Mabey half will do.

>>17219407
Honestly that is very kind of them...however in the industry of war protecting your comrades comes with the turf.

FULL PAYMENT...and maybe a drink or two on you...hey I am not a complete bastard.

Personally, I would avoid mentioning payment until we actually meet up with the rest.
Unless she is the group leader she is unable to do anything about it anyway.

Use this opportunity to learn about the crown and other battles she has been in.

>>17219461
And seriously...would making a friend with the monster girl world eqv of a walking TANK...let alone x5 of them. Honestly to survive in this world it is my belief that friends are needed...many MANY friends.

>>17219461
Yep, payment can wait, get to know her and thank her for bringing you here

Your scratch the back of your short hair a bit, eyeing the door without really knowing what to say, then you nod at the Purifier, who nod back at you with a small laugh
‘’My, my aren’t you the serious type?’’
You shrug, then see her walk away a bit, before that one more question.

‘’Where could I find you in the event that I need your presence?’’

She tilt her need, then but her back on the wall, lifting her unclothed leg and resting her boot on it as well while he head Is tilted side way to look at you, making her long hairs fall, a little distance away from the door so she doesn’t end up smacked in the face.

‘’You need only ask, Sigismund, the servant would probably know my position, I don’t have any fixed lodging in this manor, I have just as much free reign as the Lord and his daughter’’

Her face cloud over at that, now you remember, the Lady of Crosswalk being corrupted…

That reminds you that you cured Sylphis rather effortlessly.
Also that Mantis needs a spanking.

Will Leila wait for you here?

You nod at the waiting lady and enter, the changing area being closed from the bath but steam escaping from the closed door. You see various blankets here and there, some other pajama and… your deep blue mage clothing.
Well now.

Given your present armament, you need only slips out of your pants and go for the door, opening it in a glorious crack and a face full of steam almost making you cough, immediately you start to sweat, however the bath is a pretty large one, artificial but it seem the builders tried to emulate a hot spring. It’s easy to see the large silhouette of the Minotaurus who is probably looking at you.

‘’Ooya? Could it be a young insomniac servant that want some playing?’’

That voice, strong, joyful yet commanding. Its TIan all right.
‘’I’d quite enjoy a little romp, yes, but can you keep up with me? Hmmm?’’

>Field too long

Feeling rather mischievous yourself, you slip in the hot water and feel your tension melt away, then approach the woman and stop once the steam clear enough for you to look at her.
And you get a full frontal nudity of a rather large busted woman, with quite a bit of muscle and meat, smiling as largely as she can, however her expression become one of surprise as she see you.

‘’Oooh! It’s the mage! Finally awake! Damn’’

She relaxes on her spot, not a little bit bothered by her nudity, the water only coming to around her navel while it come to your shoulders. Damn, those pairs are really bigger than your hands…

Tian laugh a bit

‘’Hmm. For a mage you are rather buff, scared too clearly not the type to hang around with books’’

She licks her lips while you make yourself comfortable, water melting your tension.

‘’Man if you weren’t claimed by two warriors I’d jump you right there!’’

You then hear… something coming from the room behind you, Tian however doesn’t.
‘’So how you doing?’’

>>17219523
>That reminds you that you cured Sylphis rather effortlessly

We should look into helping the Lady of Crosswalk, if we can.

>>17219534
Maneuver so that we can see the room's exit.

"I feel... well-rested. Thank you for carrying me. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."

>>17219573
In case it wasn't clear, I meant so we can see immediately if anyone comes out of the room behind us.

>>17219534

"I feel as if the world has placed it's burdens on my shoulders...however as death has yet to be a bother to me I have persisted."

Try to laugh off the last battle...despite everything.

"You handled yourself most formidably as well Tian...if I might be so familiar."

<Aim: get comforable...damn relax for a bit and try to open conversation...remember strength is equal to strength and the Mino might respect our casual nature about hardship>

>>17219534
>>17219523

> Also that Mantis needs a spanking.

> ...the water only coming to around her navel while it come to your shoulders. Damn, those pairs are really bigger than your hands…

pic related.

despite (bewildered?) interest in the minotaur, we need to pay attention to whatever we just heard.

>Water mage, ambushed in a bath
They did not know who they were fucking with.
Assuming they are hostile at least.
It could be Leila trying to eavesdrop on us. We didn't really tell her much after all.

>>17219639
Could also be one of those insomniac servants.

>>17219645
or a mantis who desires to be close to us but fears a potential spanking. (if they can feel a little of what we feel from this soul bind thingy)

Is it possible to focus slightly without it appearing massively obvious?

‘’I feel as if the world has placed a burden on my shoulders…however as deaths has yet to be a bother to me, I have persisted’’

Your voice is calm and relaxed, yourself resting on some of comfortable rock ,has a mage you can feel the fain trace of magic in the water, perplexed you examine it a bit and find out that water is what cleans you, no need for other material, just sit and enjoy.

‘’You better persist, not every day I see a man worthy of two warriors, hell worthy of my sisters’’

This bring your attention back to the large monster woman who nod at you, her eyes are one of a warrior, for now at least.

‘’If it wasn’t for you and your two bodyguards, I’m pretty sure more than one of my sisters would have end up corrupted. Do you know what happen when a Monster get corrupted?’’
The question interests you, so you voice your negation.

‘’All monster feel the influence of the Demon Lord and all that, blab la, thing is, some can resist the lust, others can’t. Those that can’t are Feral, but when a Monster get corrupted, thing get even more ugly. To be brief and vulgar, it’s a mindfuck’’

She clearly seem to be speaking from experience, however her voices, and nothing from her, give away the feeling of regret, nothing but gratitude escape from the large cow woman.

‘’Seriously, if it wasn’t for you I’d probably have been down one or two sister, in my eyes you saved my kin, so… yeah’’
The large woman trail off, putting a hand on her broken horn, red in the face.

>Field too long

Yep, her face is red.

You then allow yourself to move some more, eyeing the entrance, no sound for now…

``Your groups handled themselves formidably, both in valor, discipline and feat of arms, trust me on the fact you have my respect, Tian’’

The Minotaurus make a large cough and doesn’t look at now while responding

‘’Oi! Now! The merit is for you and your companion, if I could I’d give you a bonus.’’

Door still closed… then the Minotaurus lean in

‘’Seem like we got a pepping tom…’’

She’s still red in the face.

>Forgetting the trip often

>>17219783

There no real way to be ovious with Focus, its like keeping your big two handed weapons in hand

>>17219841
"I noticed, what do you know about the residents of this place? The Purifiers?"

Also, steam is water vapour, does this mean that we can control it?

>>17219841
We could make a run for the door.

>>17219841
hmm... should we give them a real show then?

>>17219871

Indeed you can, but you can't really change the temperature or its nature, but yo ucan manipulate it. Mages have it easier when they cast and conquer the ''law of the world'' but using the world ressource can be done, but not as effectively as simply casting.

For exemple you could just move the vapor around, but if you cast you can make steam come out of your palm.

>>17219899
You know what...us and the mino seem to be getting along great...I'm woting for this one as well...if it is one of our sisters it would serve as a great lesson in being more honest and forth coming...if it is her lover same deal.

Either way you both get a good laugh over someonese miss fortunes and we can spend a bit of time later consoling them...or in Minos case seven hours and alot of sweat

>>17219881
Why? I see no reason to at this stage.

>>17219899
I suggest finding out more about our hosts before we do anything overt or showy. Depending on how powerful a faction are, offending or threatening the members of the church accidentally or intentionally may not be wise

>>17219956
offending the people spying on us while we're naked and taking a bath?

>>17219956
Our hosts seem good enough to have monster girls hired to perform their deeds for them...also notice how our Peeping tom...HAS NOT MADE A SINGLE SOUND?

Remind you of any mantis...I mean body?

>>17219992
If it is her, we would know from the link.

>>17219972
Are you familiar with the church from the monster girl quest game?

If the purifiers are anything like the church in that game then we want to be careful.

>>17219952
Given her earlier comment about us being claimed by our companions? I would give it a miss, she may end up respecting us more for it.

>>17220011
I don't think the link tells you their exact distance from you...plus feeling the mantis's feelings seems slightly harder then the lizard's unless it is sheer bloodlust.

I think the mantis is just much more capable of it though I might be completely wrong and apologise before hand if this is the case.

Sincerely...Anon

>>17220011

Ding Ding.

So is it making a pass at the Mino? Keep it cool?

>>17220073
Keep it cool.

>>17220073
One against, but that's more as I feel we need to learn more about the purifiers first.

>>17220073
>>17220087

Keep it cool.

Pass her a drink (if one is nearby) and/or as you do so splash some water whilst whisper to her to act cool until the peeper either buzzes off OR....OR makes a mistake that you both can exploit...aaahhh warriors through and through.

If we focus would it be visible from the doorway?

Your eyes fall on the large horned lady and you tilt your head a bit.

‘’Yes, and I think I know who it is’’

You laugh a bit, she doesn’t add anything for now but you continue to make yourself comfortable, then splash the hot water on her bosom, eyeing her mounds of flesh without any shame but controlling your lust, disciplining your lower half.
Seem like the Minotaurus doesn’t say anything, only looking at you with amusement, and that eternal blush.

‘’Do you know anything about the Church Purifier?’’

Your companion stay silent for a moment, probably mulling over something, then she eye you and nod.

‘’Pretty damn infamous the world over I’d say, people form the church that have chosen the path of healing and protection instead of extermination, but they each made the oath of exterminating any monsters they see, there is just a whole lot of leeway between what is and not a monsters, the fact that me and my sisters have the crown blessing is probably why the young lady didn’t try to murder me on the spot.’’

She grabs some water and splashes it on her shoulder, one eye closed while looking at the door

‘’Still, I never saw one so young, that little girl must be very talented to make a journey down South and come back a Purifier at her age, most of them are men too, girls tend to fail the exams’’

Then she smile, the door to the bath open, you see a firm, hourglass silhouette as flat as a board.

‘’They eat babies, too’’

And then come the reply from the long haired girl hidden by the vapour

‘’W-we do NOT eat babies!’’

>>17220144

You are pretty well hidden, but embracing Focus would make anyone trained in magic able to sense you, probably from the whole city too, yo uare a pretty strong mage.

>>17220268
Tell the newcomer she can come in, we don't bite.

Probably.

>>17220268
So, now that you're done hiding from us, wanna join us? the water's nice.

>>17220268

"You should try it at least once, it might put some meat on that there lovely figure."

Then tell her in quite a casual sense...trying HARD NOT to show the domination in the voice. that AHEM

"You should join us, the water is warm, the company as solid as any mountain (in thanks to our new friend) and the amosphere as relaxing as the slumber within the arms of a loved one....aaahh...not that I remember why I remember that."

(BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...love that lovely baby line you glorious bastard hope that my submission is not too...crazy)

>>17220351
This.

Shame long gone, you look at the approaching girl still partially hidden and can’t resist to press on the words of the Minotaurus.

‘’You should try it at least once, it might put some meat on that there lovely figure’’

The lady stop, blue towel wrapped around her body as she tilt her head, looking at you, then frown saying a rather loud

‘’Oh?’’

She step in the water, giving you a glare full of fake anger, keeping retreat, prompting you to give her another taunt.

‘’Now now, join us, the company is as solid as any mountain and the atmosphere is just like a slumber in the arms of your most precious person, might be good to let it climb up your head, Leila’’

The lady stay put, not looking your way however, making the Minotaurus laugh

‘’My my, you weren’t like that when we bathed yesterday, little lady’’

The Purifier starts to splash herself with the cleaning water, eyeing you, then the Minotaurus. Then you again, her long blonde hairs sticking to her healthy skin where you easily spy some scars, she’s still possess quite a big amount of charm, you’d put her between in the ``elegant`` place for your compliment, if only she had a bigger bust.

She caught you eyeing the towel, frowning.

‘’There is a gentleman present, Tian’’

The Minotaurus laugh again and point to herself

‘’And ? Look at me’’ She press on one of her breast, the girl making a ‘’humph’’ sound.

Still it doesn’t sound like she’s having a bad time, however lingering here does keep you away from your two companions.

But in this atmosphere, do you miss them?

>>17220531
Of course we miss them, what kind of gentleman would not?

>>17220531
If we could trade these two for Sylphis and Athena, we would do so in a second. But we can certainly spare some time here, especially considering the two days we already spent sleeping.

Let's ask Tian where her sisters would be.

>>17220531
I will say this, whilst our companions are indeed ....close to us and saved our lives...they are yet...endearing (sorry but a day and a bit does not loved ones make) and as such being the gentleman we are some time to themselves is probably something they need and maybe they think the same way...after all we have been through alot and their dotting on us might make us feel cramped and smoothered.

They are being thoughtful and it would be RUDE of us to not take this first truly sterling silver oppertunity to unwind.

After all Minotaur will not rape us, we shall not shag Minotaur (she has expressed interest yet has a code of honour...I like that) and there is a purifer here which they do not want to be ANYWHERE near.

So lets calmly enjoy our bath and then spend some quality time with them afterwards. What say you?

Oh and

"There are many measures of beauty in a woman, such rugged, honesty and powerful features on Tian here would indeed seduce many a man to try and win her heart and then her bed...yet in a gentle beauty such as yours, one that conceals secrets I am sure...there is an air that will capture the minds and eyes of more then a single caller of this I promise you."

"After all...have I not looked upon both of you and smiled as a man yet respected your power as women?"

(again hope my gentleman way of speaking is not too out of character)

>>17220642
>>17220642
>>17220642
>>17220642

>>17220642
agreed

>>17220642
Yeah, play it all classy like.

You look at the gorgeous blond girl some more, staying silent as she’s now having a polite chat with the Minotaurus, somehow you feel the link more strongly, but perhaps it’s simply the fact that you’re searching for it, still as weak as a pulse…

Leila then smile at you, her face clearly red and you nods at the girl, wondering if the throb in your heart was due to your brief solemn thought or the girl away from you. Your eyes close, then you look at the nude Minotaurus, totally relaxed.

‘’Where would your sister be now, Tian?’’

The woman seemed to be examining her hand before you spoke, she look at you before tapping her chin a bit.
‘’Hmm, I’d say… probably on their way to get the bonus we agreed to get, with some luck they haven’t fucked the whole male population of some village but I wouldn’t bet my luck on it. Since you pretty much saved our hides I wanted to get you here fast, that what your companions wanted too’’
You nod at her then stretch a bit, making sure the atmosphere doesn’t get to your head, the blond girl has more than likely picked up on that but now you don’t care.

Or perhaps it already did, you don’t really know why but you feel some strange praise coming out of your mouth, you look at Tian and catch her attention, smiling

‘’ There are many measures of beauty in a woman, such rugged, honesty and powerful features on Tian here would indeed seduce many a man to try and win her heart and then her bed.’’

It came it fluently, naturally, in a way that surprise even you in how… gentlemanly it sounded; the poor Minotaurus is totally red in the face now.

>field too long

You then turn toward the blond girl who look away from you, clearly wanted to avoid her share of praise, yet your hand come out of the water as you look at her, smiling somehow this situation feels a bit… nostalgic, as if you were… you've been in a similar situation? Praising girls.

‘’My words were but jest when you entered, Leila, but know that the beauty you have is both real and secret, one that I am not allowed to see in all its splendor and I shall respect your wish, but many a caller will come, of that I am sure’’

There quite the heavy silence in the bath, the atmosphere having changed while you continue with the silver tongue

‘’I am smiling as a man, but I shall respect the wish of the women before me’’

Of course, you end there, relaxing without a single amount of shame while the two girls share the same red on the cheek.

‘’Well now, if that wasn’t some bard talk…’’

Tian splashes her face.

‘’Sigismund, those words in one flow, this…aura should I say, your authority…’’

Leila seems to have gotten back her bearing and is looking at you intensely

‘’Are you a king?’’

>>17220837

"Despite myself...now with words that whilst wonderous cannot compare to the elegance and majesty of the women I share company with I shall say this."

Look seriously for a moment trying to find a...memory...ANYTHING...and then...continue.

"I know now nothing...of who or what I was, that person if they were important...if they were someone...I do not know."

Smile softly then as if saddened...well because we would be.

"But that person...I do not envy, because at this moment I share a bath with two very grand women and later I shall share again time with two that spared my life from the foul that sought to over take me, tear my life apart...steal my gift of magic and turn me against...something...a land...people...women...maybe even lovers that I strove to protect."

SMile in actual contentment.

"They must have been special those people...because I sought the greatest power of them all to protect them...or at least I think that is the truth...my mind has not been the greatest source in the past few waking days."

>>17220917
same fag

Sorry remember folks if not in character change...thank you and remember my words are merely a suggestion awaiting a creators touch to be brought into this world.

>>17220917
Once again, lets play it classy.

>>17220917

Too much info. Running around and telling your life story to everyone is not a good idea.

>>17220964

As a person who has suffered from severe memory loss...believe me when I say this. You get scared...really really really scared...and anyone...anyone who even pretends to care for your troubles...you spill your hearts to them.

Maybe in the hope that they will care...maybe in the hope that they'll know something...anything. But you do it...because the alternative is a future of confusion and lonliness.

>>17220994

Better confused and lonely than dead. I don't trust the church and certainly not the local nobles. There was an attempt on our life already. We should be more careful.

"No, but I'm of noble blood. Let's leave it at that." How about this?

>>17221045
ADVENTURE HO
screw being lonely :P no random encounters

King…

A king?

As you look at the Purifier in the bath, then the Minotaurus who, despite her joyful demeanor is serious, the question leave you slightly speechless, but… you can’t say yes.

``Nay, King are men above they’re stations, here, I am but man in front of the majesty of the ones I share company with’’

This creates another smile from the two girls, Monsters and humans sharing a bath right now during an evening or early morning…

Part of you feel content, safe, wanting to share everything you know of your past, having this brief melancholy go away. But you are a solid man as well and if you must forge alone, then so be it, however, now, sharing with Tian and Leila…just might be good enough.

‘’My past has been robbed from me, of that is all I know. Who were the ones I loved? What duty did this mind shaped in authority upheld? What passion had my young self-held, passions strong enough to continue the grueling training of the mages, ending up with a clear strength above the normalfolk?’’

Back solid, tall, proud, your eyes directly on the greens ones of the Purifier, for the first time, the blond girl look away.

‘’Mayhap my belief were one of destiny, perhaps I was a stubborn man that fought with everything he had, maybe my blood was one of noble lineage.’’

Then you look at your hand a bit, the two girls simply listening
>field too long

‘’But I am a man of passion unending and if I had regret in the past, then I shall right them, if that meant sacrificing my memory to be free of this world common sense’’

Your own conviction grow stronger as you talk

‘’So be it’’

Perhaps you have what it make to be a king, because before you are two women who, maybe drunk on the atmosphere, would follow you to hell.

But now, there are some things to think about.

Two persons waiting, a lady corrupted…

‘’Y-you… well’’

The blond girl isn’t looking at you; the Minotaurus simply eye you with awe.

Who are you?

>>17221117
"I feel compelled to aid those around me, that much I know. I have heard tell of the Lady of Crosswalk, and the terrible curse that has befallen her. I believe I can help her. I have... experience with such things."

Hmm seem like I started to write before you guys agreed, should I redo it?

>>17221117

The Bold Incarnation.

Perhaps we were someone of prominence? A noble's son of a patriotic family that unfortunately was on the wrong side of the war.

Already it is know our mother was quite strong...and that despite our social status that she held a strong hold over you...almost overwhelmingly powering.

I would suggest the son of a powerful mother but it was the MOTHER that held the power, no one else in the family did, however your mother's reach was MASSIVE and thus you were sent to the academy...now let me set this out in words.

"I...I remember my mother's voice. It was sometimes loud and harsh...sometimes as soft as a bountiful seasons harvest...but cursed memory I cannot recall her face...only that I always welcomed it's sight even if the words that followed had me angered."

"I remember one night she...was angry at a man...and soon after I was sent to the Arcane Academy there after...despite my pleas not to...yet her final words always held fast in my mind and I cast aside my doubt and fear and forged what I think was a mage of acclaim to some extent...for soon I must have been called to war...definately as the fearsome Tian has seen."

Cast a slightly arrogant smile.

"I am a man...no not a mere man...I am A MAGE who casts not doubt into the fates, a man who is no stranger to the tides of fle..war."

Seem a little bewildered maybe. (ARROGANCE AHOY)

Again...my words can be changed if out of character...again I hope to feel the writers touch

>>17221198
No, it looks good.

>>17221198
Nah, leave came out pretty good.

>>17221117
I am myself, all else shall be judged by those who know me, who follow me and who oppose me.

A man is his words, his actions and his passions and no title would change his worth.

Anyhow, I've spoken enough on the topic for one day, you mentioned this is the house of the lord of Crosswalk? and you're treating his daughter for corruption?

Lead me to her, I may be able to take care of the problem.

>>17221198
You are doing gloriously I have not had such satisfaction in a quest thread in quite some time, thank you for this oppertunity.

>>17221117

Who am I?

I am myself. Unfettered by the past.

Fuck yeah!
Nearly missed this.

>>17221243
This but just offer possible assistance, we're good, but remember we nearly got killed by corruption once, and saving sylphis knocked
us out for days.

>>17221229

I don't think I can go with that unfortunatly, you know nothing of your past family, the only person you know of is the Yukionna in the forest of the mage academy and this ``lady without face`` in your dream.

Still its pretty damn good, but you are a bit... far, yet hot on others place

>>17221229
This, yet again.

Also if you're the same person who has been writing these long replies, then goddamn, I love what you write.

>>17221283
Again just as I said, Change what must be changed and use what you will I am grateful for this chance.

Lamia Apprentice wasnt available as one of the choices in the first thread?!?
For shame /tg/

>>17221285

Thank you for your kind words Anon, I adore writing into quest threads and writing is a hobby of mine but your comment has definately made my day....however the credit should really go te the creator of the quest who has given me this setting and the chance to participate.

THank you both.

Your eyes close, memories absent, he only thing you know, is the young Yukiwarashi that led you back during this blizzard in your youth, and then you came back many years later, in the very same forest, with a companion in a…

Deep, pale mage garment that hurt your heard even now.
You feel that you are very close to a realisation but it’s better to push it away, maybe you are ready, maybe you aren’t.
Does the past you really matter?

‘’I am who I am, let those who knew me then cast judgement’’
You look at the Minotaurus, then the Purifier, serious, not allowing your mind to be lecherous.

‘’Let those who know me now, cast judgement. The me from now, enjoy helping others’’

You nod to yourself.

‘’Leila, I have heard rumors, the Lady of Crosswalk seem to suffer from corruption’’

You splash your hands on the cleaning water a bit

‘’Could I see her?’’

The girl jump a bit, red up to her ears, smiling even if she try not to, the Minotaurus herself has a knowing smile on her face and pat your shoulder, you grab her large hand a bit then she let go, not before the two of you knock knuckles.

‘’W-well... um tonight might be... .’’

She let go of a sight, slaps her cheek, then look at the water
‘’She’s asleep for tonight, er this morning… but I could wake her yes, and it’s just… well seeing her now.. You’d need to..’’

The girl trail off.

Now? Tomorrow? You don’t really know, maybe press the issue?

>Here I was prepared to have this turned into Fetishquest. i'm pretty damn suprised.

>>17221422
Gentleman adventurer in the land of monster girls?
More interesting concept than flat out fetish quest

Some of us like to keep our porn and our entertainment separate.

>>17221460
Exactimo

>>17221422
Gaze upon her and notice her...abashfulness, remembering a little of who we were from the dream (Greedy and what not) realise that taking NO for an answer...even if it is in a round about fashion is not our style.

Walk slowly through the water up to this beautiful young blonde maiden, take her hand in one...then both...touching the hands together before looking into her eyes with a sweet smile upon our lips and say simply.

"It would be the greatest of aid to me if you'd allow me to even just gaze upon the corrupted lady."

Place her hand then on your chest and hold it there with a firm hand...yet a gentle touch.

"...I know I might not be able to assist the lady as much as your talent has...yet it might help me...learn a little about myself and such help..."

Raise her hand to just beneath our lips mindful that our eyes have NEVER left hers...after all...we might be naughty in some ways but we can be whatever we NEED to be to get what WE want.

"...would be of the greatest of values to me....some deed I would of course...be all to willing to repay in kind...if the lady would have me."

<Whilst VERY sexual...our words could easily to perverted to either make the reward GREATER for us...or less depending on mood and what she dares ask in repayment>

As ever...I leave changes to you.

>>17221505
You are now listening to those words in the tone of Barry WHITE.

>>17221422

press the issue.

"i'd need to what?"

>>17221552

while looking in her eyes all classy and shit. one eyebrow up, like a boss, the whole time

>>17221570
Like the classiest boss.
captcha:ofnolvi effective
Captcha agrees

Hmm

So she would say no? A smile cross your lips, slowly approaching the blond, leaving your lower half entirely covered, you grab one of her hand, imprisoning it in both of your palm while she fidget, small shaking rocked her body while her green, clears eyes avoids yours, her face still red, towel covering her body.

``Waking the Lady, is not what I ask, merely gazing at her, is what I’ll need.’’

This small, trembling yet robust hand that you hold, there is no doubt in the fact that many a conflict and memories are hidden between. You put it on your chest, right on your heart, she look, dumbfounded, her hand starting to press, massage, the bright withe tattoo of the cross appearing in the water.

‘’I think corruption is somehow linked to me, seeing her, would most likely bring me goods, even the memories I get are bad, the simple fact of having it would help me, and I would thank you dearly, Leila. ‘’

She look at you, not shaking anymore, perhaps her sense of duty returned, but she’s serious, just as much as you are and, perhaps charmed, she’s..

Much, much more serious than you could ever be, right at this moment.

‘’You are a unknown man, Sigismund’’

Her palm still massages your heart

‘’But if you wish to see her, then I will not refuse you, however, if you wish to wake her’’

Her eyes narrow a bit and she bite her lower lips

‘’Corruption increase the lust in the host, did you know? It corrupt one sense of pleasure, duty, self… rob you of your identity’’

Her other hand is holding her towel, but she rest her hand on your forehead, no longer touching your heart.

‘’If you wish to wake and speak to Lady Camilla, I would need you to do something so your… youthful, vigorous and handsome appearance does not trigger lust, thus unneeded strain, on her’’

You frown.

Could she mean…?

>>17221615

but seriously, we should press the issue because there are two people we care about somewhere out there, and we can feel them faintly.

Is that all? Hand out healing.

>>17221711

If such is the wish of /tg/, so be it.

>>17221673

Hhmmm that could cause problems this entire lust corruption thing entrancing the young lady...whilst the entire point is NOT to wake her. We could take the precaution of disguising ourselves.

Maybe illusion magic is a subset of water magic...maybe we could merely be heavily cloaked to prevent direct eye contact and merely mask our handsome authority voice...

And maybe Tian would be willing to help a righteous cause? After all she offered to pay extra because we did so well...maybe she'd consider coming along if only to restraint a young woman who might be over come with lust if she pierces our cunning disguises?

....I cannot fathom words to apply to all of my potential ideas...dear creator do as you see fit....once words come back...I'll leap right back in with the classiness

(And HOLY DAMN...blondy got serious on us...honestly was not expecting that...was thinking swoon and blush but not GRIM DETERMINATION AWESOMENESS....good show)

>>17221734
same fag
>>17221711
Damn...that is a simple and good idea...if the disguises fail stupidly...just heal...but I think the objective should be as this gentleman suggested ultimately just devour the corruption into ourselves...

AND PRAY we don't turn our lust on whoever the hell is nearby....

I doubt water magic can double for illusion, we could steam/mist the room up though. Disguise might work better, no need to make the room all damp with steam. Seems like the nun's got something else in mind though

>>17221786
I would LOVE to be on her mind

>>17221796
>>17221786

You douche nozzles! Stop thinking with your hormones!

>>17221796
>>17221836
I honestly wasn't, I was assuming that she had a plan of her own on how to handle the situation safely. Thats the last place I want this going.

Leila clears her throat, eyeing you, studying you, but her gaze, even in all its seriousness, is warm, much, much different than the first one you saw at the infirmary.
Tian is smiling broadly in the background

‘’Damn boy, how the hell do you expect me to find a husband after I saw you act like a man now? Hell, I had the chance to see the king of this land and you could seriously take his place!’’

The Minotaurus than stand, dripping, your eyes can’t really help themselves here… still the lady walk toward the room, while Leila is still touching you.

‘’Know that Camilla is very dear to me, and I have no idea what you are planning’’

She then heaves a sigh

‘’the best of disguise would be to make you wear woman garb. Maybe you plan to wake her, or not, but I plan to stand at your side, because this girl’’

She closes her eye, then heaves another sigh
>field too long

‘’May not be my blood sister, but she is just as precious.’’
With that the blond leave.

Leaving you stunned of course, woman garb…? She can’t be serious, hell a heavy cloak would do, something similar to Sylphis and Athena, not wearing a dress and…!

In the end, due to the lack of servant, you ended up wearing a heavy cloak even if Leila had quite a bit of fun putting some make-up on you ``just to make sure`` but the girl was having her fun, she was beaming too so you just didn’t had the heart to stop it even if that ended up with Tian laughing.
The Purifier then lead you to a large, double doors of wood, nodding at you with a solemn look, making you hide yourself a bit more in your gray clothes while you can’t help but growl and the make-up and these longer hairs…

Inside is a girl in a large, queen sized bed with sheet of much heraldry, while the room is decorated in many symbols of animals, knights, and what look like mage, with some statue right beside the doors.

As you approach, making sure to not be too loud, the girl appears to be…. Probably in her 18, long, dark hairs flowing under the bed while she breathe peacefully, the best way to describe her would be vulnerable, even if she seem to be in perfect health, something at the back of your mind ring and you rub your forehead.

‘’Here…’’

Leila is looking at the girl with a clear gaze of look, one kin who you hold dearly…

Perhaps you are a little jealous
>mfw can't post pic yet

>forgetting trip

>>17221883

Gaze upon her then...enter focus...hopefully without anyone noticing. Then see if you can see if her water of life is corrupted, any physical or spiritual changes that your magic would allow...because in my mind...water always seems to have healing as a subset.

>>17221910
"Such a precious angel to sleep so calmly whilst a storm rages within her...it seems so unfair to happen to such a young waif."

However let the confidence we felt in combat take control of us, we are not frightened to be this close to corruption.

"Let me see what I can do for the one close to your heart and see if hers renders to me its secrets as readily as your care for her did to the naked eye."

<Again change what you must, Im eager to see the next piece.>

>>17221910
Might wanna double check that the lady can't sense magic too, it's a very slim probability, but lets not risk it.

>>17221942
Bless you for reminding me...yes its true she might be able to detect magic.

Which brings to mind...will she care...if it is for the one she loves?

>>17221910
>Water always seems to have healing as a subset.

Fire has been seen as a purifier for so long I kinda wish I was used in a healing way more often.

I mean it's magic fire just like only magic water is going to heal you. Water also likes to house filth and bacteriums which seems like the wrong sort of thing for healing.

The first step, is Focus.

You enter in a flash, the feeling of precision and strength, robbing you of some eloquence.

The form is sleeping, your magic is either defensive or offensive, not healing, but the simple state of Focus allow you to see what would be missed, calculate what would leave confusion, your eyes on the Purifier, she’s looking at you seriously, then at Lady Camilla, it would seem the lady is deaf to magic.

A shame, but good nonetheless.

You palm hover above her form, taking every information of her outward appearance.

``Such a precious angel..``

Your words are honey, your voice, is of an oppressive authority.

You cured Sylphis while she was in a similar state, this time, you need to be conscious.

As you wait, as she sleeps, as she breathes…

You can feel the corruption and something hunger.

But it is not malevolent, oppressive, and murderous.

It’s a hunger that swells deep in your soul, like an unending void, as you watch the corruption in her, you now notice.

The amount in her would, without a single doubt, corrupt a lesser man or woman on the spot.

Your nerves, before of a deep, clear blue, a small amount become of pure, oppressive black.

You have been in Focus for exactly 5 seconds

And your instinct know what you need to do

The Purifier is watching you closely.

Do you proceed?

>>17221993

with a glance, tell the Purifier to do what she can, and then do what needs to be done.

Yes.

>>17221993
Just make sure the Purifiers ready to back us up, last time we did this it left us out cold for a while

>>17221993
Lets do it, quietly if possible and let the people around us know we might fall unconscious.

>>17221993
Turn to the Purifer (and Tian if she is there) and say in a tone of voice that holds no love, no mercy but a command brought of understanding.

(If Tian is there) "Tian what I must do now will be sickening...disgraceful and sad. But please do something for a warrior that has strode beside you in battle."

Hold your hand then over the young girl's body. "Hold the Purifer back whilst I do what must be done...but if something happens to me...and I become something that is not myself...hold me so that no harm comes to anyone....can you do this for me?"

(If not) "Understand I do this to heal her...no harm will come of this...yet should something occur to me...call for whatever aid you can to stop me...call Tian...if need be."

Then...tear that blasted foul corrupted darkness out of her form and devour it...not letting a single shred escape to haunt anyone save ourselves.

<As always my good man do what must be done to change it to acceptable levels...I just love laying on the charm even in these situations...IF....for some reason staying in focus and what must be done...was different...please change>

>>17221993
"Do you trust me? Despite how it will appear, this will save her."
Proceed

>>17222047
>>17222049

Last time we fell unconscious because we were tired beforehand.

>>17222051

you got some talent I lack for charming stuff, but Focus rob you of such words, you become machike-like, to be a bit crude.

>>17222105
Thank you I'll chop it up for you then. My apologises.

"No ...hurt..angel..."

The sound of magic swirling around our mind making words change to feelings, feelings to memories and times to letters...it took much to just churn out those words as the hand perched itself over the body of the sleeping young girl.

"No hurt...corruption bad."

You could see it...knew what you had to do...and knew if it waited any longer that it might be too late.

"No hurt..."

<Does this suit it more...its also in line with much of the others. Again change what you need. Thank you>

>>17222127

Dohoho I really appreciate your effort, but its also not as extreme. It kind of make you very pragmatic without losing sight of your goals, the only thing you see is what must be accomplished, that usually doesn't require words.

Mage tend to make very bad diplomats.

We are not becoming stupid. Maybe you should read the other threads.

Agreed, give the other threads a read, especially the previous one. If nothing else, gives you the history of what we have already done.

>>17222147
I was just responding to the authors input...but tell you what...because it seems that I am not competant with anything that is not charming or talkative.

I'll leave it be. With the Authors permission I'll take a step back and just place stuff for the discussion parts of the thread.

Again I apologise for trying to refine my prior address.

>>17222177

You were presenting us a cow. A fine cow, but we needed a sheep. So you took the cow out back, chopped it into pieces and presented the bloody bits wrapped in a fur carpet.
Still not a sheep.

>>17222177
You're competant at writing, however, reading the previous threads would help give you a handle on how the character has thus far been played and, for example, how he has acted when in focus.
They're a fun read as well which is always a plus.

The previous thread has us caught in a dream in which we decided what our motivations were, that in and of itself is useful with regards to the character.

>>17222222
>222222
One of the more amusing analogies I've heard in a while it must be said

>>17222226

Thank you I shall now do so in new windows. Hopefully I shall come back more in tune with the character and be somewhat more capable for it.

You let out a sigh, tension coming back, the bath however helped immensely.

You look at the blond woman of the church, serious, solemn, worried… loving, her eyes are on whom?

‘’Wake her’’

You say, voice coming out being soft, yet cold.
Leila nod, watching you closely and, ever so gently, nudge the girl beneath your eyes.

They open to give you a deep black free of corruption.
You look behind you, the large back of the Minotaurus guarding the room, her curiosity must be unending but her duty is held true.

‘’Sis..?’’

A soft, innocent voice belonging to a victim, a person that truly does not deserve the fate of this forced hedonism.
‘’Cally, Cally, yes… it’s me I think it’s good now…’’
The blood woman hopped on the bed, holding the girl, forced her out of her heavy blankets.

‘’Do you trust me, Lady of Crosswalk?’’

You hold her gaze, she look at you, smile, the corruption swell, the Purifier is looking at you, serious, but pained.
You then stand back and wash your face of disguise, clear water flowing in your clothes, you then grasp these longer hairs, throw them away and make your face, handsome as it was described, bare for the corrupted girl.

Leila is clenching her jaw, the young lady, after exactly 3 seconds, blush as her thigh start rubbing, her eyes being filled with desire, her escaping sigh being full of honey.
The corruption swell.

Your hand, the left, is held upright as you approach, your other hand, touch her cheek, caressing up to her hairs, arousing her even further.

Than black scrawl cover your left hand, slowly turning into runes.

You just KNOW what you need to do, the Purifier is looking at your eyes, and perhaps… she doesn’t see these runes.
‘
’Do not panic, Leila, do not Focus.’’

>field too long

A King need only two brave word

‘’Trust me’’

What happen next leave her in shock, to the point of making Tian turn and look, which shock her greatly as well.
Your left hand is buried in the stomach of the Lady of Crosswalk, the innocent known as Camilla. The Purifier is shocked, she’s a lady trained, perhaps even to the limit of human capabilities. And she’s shocked, unable to move, looking at what seem to be the wound of her sister, droplets dripping from her face.

The young lady is looking at you, resigned to her fate, but hate is absent, there only grim resolution.

‘’Angels do not deserve to die.’’

Your hand grab, you got the bastard.

With a yank, you hear the hooves of Tian approaching, but you succeeded, the Minotaurus stop in disbelief.

Your hand is holding a long, phallus shaped snake that writhes in agony from its top mouth, dripping disgusting, foul smelling black goo, yet never touching the floor.

Then you eat it.

The scrawl on your hand extend, covering the animals who let out a small howl of defiance, but then its absorbed in your palm, in a flash, there is nothing there.
No goo

No corruption

No wound.

There only a trembling girl, hairs of blonde, holding a girl in black, opening her eyes, confused, while a large Minotaurus is shocked, but getting her bearing back.

The corruption is gone, you do not feel anything.

Yes, it’s gone.

You search and there is nothing.

You know, right now, that you will never be affected by such a thing again, you can extend it.

You are a void that eats corruption, and you smile, conquering, triumphant.

‘’Thank you, for your trust.’’

Leaving now is clearly an option.

Hey Op, not to butt in or anything, but do you write fanfiction? Because I found some very familiar looking writing.

Then let's do so. I think we may have overstayed our welcome.

>>17222285
Agreed, make a motion to the door to Tian and then outside calmly and arrogantly smile. Time to celebrate this new found ability.

And...I think maybe there might be certain females that might be expecting us yes?

>>17222284

Nah I don't. I have about 10 years of roleplay by forum but this is my very first time writing something in english

>>17222302
This seems good.

>>17222302
Agreed, smile and nod and ask where our two companions are if they would be so kind.

Closing your eyes, the feeling of strength and precision given by the Focus fade away, you hear some sobs coming from the blonde girl, and apparently she had resolved herself to a grim end, having what appears to be a solution coming out of the sky…

Yes, her happiness make some butterfly dance around your stomach, you can’t help but smile as you walk toward the exit of the chamber, with a large Minotaurus quickly following you, having to bend a bit so she doesn’t knock her head.
The Lady of the Church and the Lady of Crosswalk will have some catching up to do now, if Leila wanted you to stay, she’d have said it.

Or maybe you are simply giving too much credit to her ability to resist her emotions, hell, happiness is the most precious and strongest emotions of all.

And it’s your fuel.

There is a solemn silence between you and the Minotaurus, the large girl is clearly good at avoiding the various pitfall and traps of navigating a environment clearly not made for her size, you can’t help but spy some look at some…inappropriate place.

‘’I don’t have any idea what you did, mage’’

She’s looking at you with a strange look, but there no doubt she’s serious. You give her a rather arrogant smile, clearly full of yourself and enjoying every bit of this triumph

‘’Was it your objective, charming the Purifier so you could… exorcise the Lady of Crosswalk without having the church lock you in as some kind of freak?’’

Hmm…

Was it?

>>17222412
Partially maybe, but why limit ourselves to one reason per action.

It was fun in and of itself.

"I'll let you in on a little secret, I have no idea what I just did either"
Flash cocky smile the second.

>>17222412
"Not really, I just can't stand pretty ladies being sad."

>>17222412
Maybe we could feel mirthful enough to release a laugh?

"Maybe it was to hold a favour above their heads so that I might partake of passionate sharing of a bed with a clearly beautiful woman?"

"Maybe it was merely to help a beautiful young woman? Isn't a man entitled to aid those he wishes too?"

Explain to the large minotaur warrior then perhaps the true reason as she is entitled to the truth having shed blood with us in combat.

"Maybe 'curing' her would have held many dangers especially with this church... but I think there might be one Purifier...who will think twice before smoting me on the spot."

Then ask her to excuse use and go in search of our companions.

<Again please cut and paste as you desire, I hope these are in character with concern to knowledge of the church.>

>>17222448
I like this reason too

You know, I find it fascinating to compare the maturity level of this quest and of /a/'s Bizarre Slime:
http://bizarreslimeart.tumblr.com/ (NSFW)

You'd almost think they were on different sites.

‘’I’ll let you in on a little secret’’

You tap her large arm a big and narrowly avoid a statue, how many useless decorations are there?

‘’I have no idea what I just did’’

Tian laugh, the smack her knee on yet another statue, laugh becoming a mixture of growl and chuckling.
You then come back to the closed door near the infirmary, then open it in one large swing…

Only to come in what appears to be the main hall, large open area where your boots echo loudly, yet two others statue near the stairs leading to a small throne area with two set of stairs leading downstairs and various pillar holding what appear a above passageway to a second story.
It’s easy to see the main doors, double doors of metal without any decoration.

‘’Above all, isn’t a man simply entitled to help those he wish for? Those worthy of having help?’’

You eye the Minotaurus, the weight of your words sinking in
‘’There is many reason, now I have friendship with both a Purifier and the Lord of Crosswalk.’’

Then you open the door, taking a big, refreshing breathe of the night air

‘’Tian, I help the people I want, I don’t need a reason to. I simply Do’’

The large Minotaurus look you in the eye, then nod.

‘’Know, amnesiac mage, that you will always have my undying friendship’’

Then she rubs her chin a bit

‘’Hell, perhaps love too, I tend to fall easily, is it too much of me for asking for your plans?’’

>>17222498

I love Bromont/Papa-n stuff, I only wish I could weild comedy like him.

>>17222517
"Plans? I'm making this up as I go."

>>17222517
"My plans? For now I intend to meet up with my other two companions. After that? Who knows. I haven't decided."

>>17222517
Concrete plans tend to fall apart on first contact with the unexpected. Just keeping in mind goals and where they are on the priority list as well as what resources are available usually works. I keep them fluid to adapt to circumstances, which is a nice way of saying I make much of it up on the spot.

>>17222517
<Gentlefag here BOOYAH AWESOME BROSTATUS>

"Hhhmmm plans...we would have to ask <Insert lizard girls name here..forgot 8 am no sleep>, as until we met with your mighty warband...we were following her suggestion east."

Pause to sink in what the heck the Mino girl just said...then carefully continue.

"I do not know where my adventure will ultimately lead, but I have no doubt that conflict will be a part of it if that perks your interest."

"But apart from that...my journey is as water...ever flowing...sometimes fast...sometimes a trickle...yet always leaving its mark where ever I will pass."

(Say the last bit with EVER bit of confidence and self authority as possible...at this point I honestly believe the mage would believe it...again please cut and paste what you need and formentioned apology for incorrect information)

>>17222517
"And know that you also have my friendship"

>>17222591
...not potential love??? ....dude LOVE...i mean sure she falls easily...yeah I guess I see your point...friendship first but dont forget.

LOVE BLOOMS ON THE BATTLEFIELD

>>17222540
I think Moltke put it best:
>"No plan survives contact with the enemy"

>>17222600
How about "sincerest admiration" wink wink, nudge nudge. And all that.

You look at the large girl, no, your large, friendly, joyous and very, very precious friend.

``Careful plan tend to break at the unexpected, I am quite certain that, right now, the one responsible for Lady Camilla corruption is tearing her hairs out in rage’’

You look at the sprawling city, big wall of stones allowing an excellent defense, many humans walking aimlessly in the wee hours of the morning…

‘’My journey, so far, is like water. Flowing with strength, never stopping, trickling or overcoming…’’

You then walk outside, perhaps a bit too joyous to summon your whole authority.

No you don’t need to, not with your friend.

‘’May we meet again, Tian Lin, as you know, conflict will follow me but I do have two warriors at my sides. And My admiration is yours’’

The Minotaurus nod at you, watching in solemn silence, a bit of red on her cheek.

‘’There won’t be favor between us, I have the feeling that the one coming to me for help will be you, and I will gladly accept’’

You chuckle, the large woman laugh.

It’s good to be alive.

…

Your soul link leads you to a small tavern in the very center of Crosswalk, city of trade and fortress of the north. It seems you were wrong in the hours of the day, it’s the deep night, not the early morning, for the rather loud cheering of the tavern is sickening.
>field too long

You sigh and enter.

Man and woman seem to be cheering after finishing a rather bad country song aaaand…

You lock eye with Athena who freeze, literally, it seem that…

According to the soul link, she felt quite a bit of irritation, easy to guess why, a man is at her table with…orange skin? What the hell? Did he get cooked by a mage? It seems he got a small retinue of boys surrounding her. Your knight is being very careful to not make her identity know, but it seem leaving would probably leave her slightly exposed, however you see her smiling, it seem now she’s enjoying the situation.

Oh she wants to gauge your reaction is it?

And where is that Mantis?

>forgetting trip

>>17222656
Don't worry about it. We all know its you.

>>17222652
I believe she knows full well what she is doing...why not play the part to amuse here? Didnt she wait patiently for us to enjoy ourselves at the bath?

As for the mantis...I think she knows where we are...but showing some concern for her where abouts would be good...especially if she can feel us...because well...damn she got hurt bad for us.

>>17222652
Quietly observe the situation for a bit, see if we can't gather a bit more about mr. orange, if we can't pinpoint Mantis with our soul link look in any dark shadowy corners, especially up high.

Try to read her attitude, how does she want us to act? She's been here longer, her read will be better. Follow her lead.

>>17222652
Order a drink at the bar, its been a long day. We do have some money right?

>>17222698
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ....we forgot to ask.

If our companions don't have it...we might need a return trip to Tian's room...which she might share with her sisters...whom are all banging no doubt...DO NOT WANT...pelvis's will shatter.

You sigh and try to ignore the patrons while walking to the bar, ordering a drink and paying with your very meager funds, actually…

You don’t have enough

Bah. The barkeeper being a rather large, bald man give you a bored expression and shrug, look like being thirsty is your fate and that is quite sad as a water mage.

The patrons are numerous, you stopped trying to navigate and simply push your way through the crowd, ignoring the various insults from mostly a lot of drunken women, the people seem to celebrate for the sake of celebrating, and quite frankly you seriously don’t care about the cause.
Still your attention is on the lizardman(woman) who is looking at you, making her forced company looking in your general direction. You being the only rather handsome and well-dressed male in the whole place make you an obvious target for that…Orange who, by the look of it, wants a quick fuck with a pretty lady. The guy gets up, staggering and you decide to clear away some of the patron, making sure that his lack of dexterity doesn’t harm anyone.

Why, oh why is your knight in this kind of mess now?
Still, Mr.Orange come to you, about your height, making strange gesture with his jaw, reeking of alcohol, your knight looking at you and smiling, barely containing her laugh. His retinue keep behind him.

A very, very classic display of… bullying?

‘’Yoooo br-‘’

You interrupt him

‘’BY THE GODS’’

Everyone in the tavern look your way, surprised at your loud voice managing to trample the music

‘’YOU SKIN IS ORANGE’’

This leave the man speechless, his retinue however, try to mask they’re laugh.

And then the whole tavern follow, a few minutes later, Mr.Orange is laughed out.

You then take his place, the festivity resuming

‘’It’s been a while, milord, how are you?’’

She ask, face concealed by her hood.

>>17222718
>implying shattering our pelvis isn't the objective of this quest

>>17222747
"As of now....pretty good actually why do you ask?"

(Pull off one of those, Youmad.jpeg smiles)

>>17222747

"did you see that guy? his skin was Orange! how does that happen?"

ask her how shes been coping from the fight.

>>17222747
Not bad at all, sorry about it being so long, eating corruption takes it out of your, well took it out of me, I think I can eat it without any ill effects now.

‘’As of now…’’

You look at her clear yellow eye, putting on a mocking smile that makes her raise her eyebrows.
‘’Pretty good, why do you ask?’’

She stares at you in disbelief, mumbling something but the words get lost in the loud cheering, and pissing you off.
‘’Why the hell was this guy skin orange?’’

You knight shrug and make herself a bit more comfortable on her chair.

‘’No idea, still, are you sure you’re alright milord? You… well you did something… and well 4 days of being unconscious…’’

She look at you ,serious, well you’d probably need some time to explain everything… Something did happen all right.
‘’Not bad at all, sorry for the delay’’

You clear your throat and don’t look at her, your mind wandering back to the bath and the very healthy body of the Minotaurus.

Hmm..

‘’Um, Milord…’’

Athena is talking in whisper so you need to lean in
‘’Sylphis, well, she’s been feeling an enormous amount of guilt, I did made her know her actions were out of line but… still’’

She looks at you, but don’t support your eyes for very long
‘’When you feel after… what you did, when you sucked out and ate her corruption she wouldn’t leave you side, I saw her crying for the first time when we were catching up to Tian, our link is strong and now since you are close now so she can’t really hide anything but please, don’t be too harsh’’
You simply say nothing, but heave a sight.

‘’Milord, it’s not all.. well, you were dreaming, weren’t you?’’
Now that picks your attention.

‘’A area of snow, trees, mages… a Lady with no face, a Yukiwarashi… asleep’’

Her gaze is warm

‘’Perhaps, you have a destination in mind?’’
>bow been writefagging for a looong while now

>>17222856
"Perhaps we could head towards the place I witnessed in the dreams?"

(I am unsure as to how much he remembers of it but surely there are not hundreds of magic academies that teach water magic within magical throwing distance...but first.

"Maybe...I could go and speak to her...reassure her of my feelings."

Wait...what are our feelings? ...She helped us out alot...yet struck out on her own...sure best intentions but needlessly...maybe placed herself in harms way...and the though of her getting harmed is rather...sad really.

Any who...it is best if we found our other companion and gently coaxed her to our room and in the company of each other explained the consequences of her actions...but that its okay because she's okay and that is what is important....wait...NO WE ARE IMPORTANT....but..we just helped an angel and a purifier...so...yeah why can't we help this one who was so close to us?

"Come...let us seek her out not a moment too soon."

Hm now that I think about it, I believe this may be the time to end this session, I seriously can't continue anymore and I'm probably not coherent anymore.

Since we didn't exhaust most of my ideas, part 4 Might come Friday, else its my usual schedule of 3-4 days at 9=8 PM EST

>>17222890
thank you for the great time hope to see you again soon.

>>17222890
>7-8 PM EST

Godspeed /tg/, stay awesome.

Also thread archived

>>17222885
I'm not inclined to chew her out, but I'd still smack her gently on the head and tell her to be more careful from now on. After all, there are people who would be unhappy if she got herself hurt or killed.

>>17222912
Damn I write too slow.

I believe the plan was to spank her. Depending on how the Mantis girl's state of mind when Sigismund find her (check through link), he might want to go through the plan anyway. Some people, especially the stiff and servile type like Sylphis, might want, no, NEED some punishment for their guilt to be assuaged.

Of course, Sigismund might just decide to gentlemanly orate her out of her funk instead. Heh.

>>17223104
since I have an entire day to work on it Ill try to REALLY lay on the charm...fuck...just realised Im writing NOTES for a quest thread....damn

>``The Shieffer Family has been annihilated! The Archmage of fire has also perished, if any news of the previous leader of the family is heard; please announce it at the church! His Majesty wishes his body for a decent burial! ``

I'm guessing either we killed the Archmage of Fire or s/he was was a casualty in the fight, either way I think we are the Previous Leader of the Family since all the authority etc.

I like this. First time I'm following a quest thread.
