Fuck you. It's not our fault.

Anyone think we should get some post traumatic help after this? I mean, they are actively using this shit against us, we need to learn to accept what happened and get over it so that they cannot guilt us anymore.

I mean, really, this is not our fault in the slightest.

Whoops. Archive is here:

>>29877674
You push yourself to your feet as you shove the memories away, staggering as you face Silverhand. You can feel it, in your gut, in your hands.

It wasn't your fault.

It was NEVER your fault. You shake your head, tossing aside your ruined spear like you did you old, innocent self.

"I'm sorry. Who are you talking about?" you ask, too-sweetly, as you take a stance. The creature is stunned for a moment, and then there's a cry from the alleyway.

His stance, even when running, is perfect, this one time. His grip is excellently done, his swing has form even you couldn't manage. A thousand and one tiny perfections all unite in a blessed swing, glowing blue from a radiant blade that severs Silverhand's namesake and sends the Sealed Lord flying through the air, four pairs of eyes following it...

>>29877825
The rod sails through the air, and Micheal snatches it out of the air as Silverhand roars in fury.

--- --- ---

You are now Micheal and you are scared witless.

Okay, so it was pretty cool to get in there and save the damsel but now you've a damnable DEMON on your back chasing you.

And you're holding a thing that probably could kill everyone in the city.

Think, Micheal, think!

You remind yourself that that strike was one-in-a-million. Probably shouldn't risk it again!

Time to run like a caught Coyo! Your feet scramble on cobble as you gain purchase and sprint.

Silverhand unfurls his wings, and takes to the skies to follow you. Well, you forgot to account for that, but you start to lead him in a wide circle. Annelin can and has dealt with the bastard, you just need to give her some time.

You grin, as you turn a corner. You've never felt so proud of a bodyguard before, even - yes, you admit - even a little attracted to her, mostly those rough, unpolished eyes and manner. Like a breath of fresh -

He lands before you.

GIVE IT BACK.

THIS DOES NOT CONCERN YOU.

BE WARY OF ANY SPELLS.
He did a heat beam yesterday, and turning our back means we'll be particularly vulnerable.

>>29878194
>We were trying to kite him.

Still retarded as fuck. We have 2 extremely competent bodyguards and maybe a good Magus. Why would we need to kite him or lead him anywhere? We should have just let our bodyguards get between us and him, meaning retreating from the battle but not too far in case that someone can help us if we are attacked.

I didn't expect wings but I did expect that he would have some back-up, meaning that if the Prince runs away too far, somebody else gets on his ass.

Ja'an has wings at least, maybe he'll come around to help us.

>>29878361
I was under the impression that he was between us and everyone else, so we were running to get out the way while they handle him. Now that he is in front of us, maybe we can run back to the group.

"Like hell it doesn't!" you say, and slip into an alleyway. Shit shit shit shit! Rays of heat lance down around you as the demon takes to the sky, m elting cobble around your feet and return to Annelin.

"Are you insane?!" she asks as you return, panting. Ja'an snatches the Sealed Lord from your hands, and flies away as you pant. You're thrown down and behind Annelin as she raises her shield, ray of heat missing the demon just barely as it ricochets from the shield.

You are now Annelin again.

FINE. I NEED NOT SUCH TOOLS.

Silverhand picks up his arm and resecures it to his arm, drawing his longsword and pointing it at you.

His sword arcs at you, coming in low. You raise your leg instantly, and the moment you feel the impact, you step in close and slam a backhand into his face. Another blow from your foot into his chest, and then you hop anr spin your other foot into his side, sending him stumbling and grasping his cracked face.

He raises a hand as you move to attack again, a ray of heat searing into your chest painfully between your breasts, punching a hole in your armor an inch wide.

You raise your boot, and slam it into to his skull, again and again.You feel it crunch underfoot, over and over and over. It wasn't your fault! You didn't have a choice! You can feel it shatter under your boot and you begin to crush the shards stabbing at his chest with your spear, goring it with a splintered haft, stabbing over and over. You can't stop yourself, even as the tears begin to flow.

You didn't want to kill them. You didn't want to hurt anyone. But it's all you can do, it's all you're good at, is hurting people, and the realization of that lead you to the Arena. You watch as the flesh and blood and skull coalesce into a diamond, and you continue to hammer at it, tiny cracks appearing, your tears dribbling on the cobbles as slam your gauntlets into it, grinding it into dust. Finally, the dust scatters, gauntlets scraping against the earth, and the cool stone against your cheek.

Gentle hands pull you up into a warm hug. Micheal is there.

You grip yourself, gently pushing the prince away.

"I'll be fine." you say, taking deep breaths. "Where's Ja'al?"

"I'm right h-here." he says, floating down with flapping wings. "I'm shocked these things actually exist. They really, really shouldn't. Into my shop."

You all huddle into his shop, where he sets the rod on his counter.
"Remember how I told you there was seven tribes?" he asks. "The last one is called the Lords. There are seven Lords, each a pinnacle of their demonic tribe, each immeasurably powerful, each with horrifying regret. Their soulstones, likewise, are incredibly dense."

"So... What does that have to do with the rods?"

"Well..." he says, "Those soulstones are the demon trying to gather souls to reform themselves." he says. The strength of the pull is equal to the strength of the demon. So..."

"So if someone were to store a Demon Lord soulstone inside something..." Micheal says, his face a mask of horror.

"Then opening it would result in something like what happened to those Appals. However, since a fragment of their souls remained, they were able to become Demons. And the only thing they remembered was your name and what you did." Ja'al states. "...Probably. Sealed Lords are basically weaponizations of this demonic soul-feasting. And the containers can be keyed to all sorts of things - age, virginity, race, names." he says.

You frown.
"So how did they get to me, and now?"

"Don't fidget, be stable. Nervousness tends to stall things"

HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE.

Ja'al is the one doing this. Points:
-Daemonolgy is meant to be incredibly rare and expensive. He's the only one with the know-how.
-Knows about the Appals being soul-drained. Who the hell told him this?
-Silverhand SHOWS UP AT HIS DOOR. WHY, AND HOW DID HE FIND OUT?

Conclusion:
Ja'al summoned a Lord accidentally, with the intention of killing the king/prince for the Kingdoms racism. The Demon demanded that he be allowed to avenge his memory, which was of his own race of Appals being soul-drained by the iron rod - something which no one seemed to know what was.

>>29881260
"Congratulations." you say with a smile. "But don't let your nerves take you. Loosen up and go with the flow." you say with a nod. Micheal agrees.

Ja'al relaxes a little, smiling to himself. You have to admit, when he allows himself to be, he's at least somewhat cute.
"I'll look into these things." he says, "You guys should focus on getting prepared for things."

You both leave to go to the smithy, the Appal looking up at you. You have the spear, and the shattered bits in a bag.

"I can reforge. I can make a magical weapon from remains for partial cost. I can take the scrap for a new weapon, reduced cost." he says, instantly guessing your intent.

Pierce was the only enchantment we could afford, right?

That favor's going to bite us in the ass though.

Symbolic of shaking off MUH TRAUMA and killing that demon.

>>29881380
>I want you to make it a magic weapon.
our spear and armor should probably be the two we get
next week get appal gauntlets and sabatons if they don't also count as armor (i know they should, but they might not because we're using them as weapons?)

>>29881380
If it's a magic spear, if we ever use it to Magebreak an oncoming XYZ spell, will that remove the enchantment or????

>>29881367
He said it'd be like what happened to the Appals. He knows his history, pretty much everyone knows about the Appal insurrection getting turned into ash, and if you actually know about Demonology you can probably work it out. We got that answer because Micheal asked what would happen if you stored a Demon Lord stone in something.

It appeared outside his shop because that's where the gems where, and because we visited the place. It isn't exactly hard to find.

I'm not saying Ja'al is completely innocent, but there isn't enough to believe it's him rather than someone we don't know, and I don't think he'd do anything which would put Micheal in harm. He actually likes Micheal.

>>29881453
we got told that we can get set up with two magic weapons/items on the royal dime, plus one Appal steel item per week

>>29881460
>Symbolic of shaking off MUH TRAUMA
Man, it doesn't feel like we've shaken it off just yet, more found something to redirect our anger to.

"Breaking."

The appal nods, pulling out some vellum and snatching a seal from nearby. a couple slamming motions, and he slides the sheet towards you. A circle bisected four times sits in the center of the paper in wax.

"This is our covenant." the Appal states. "In exchange for this creation, you shall embark on a single favour of my choosing. The favour can be anything of my choice, and with this signing, you agree." he states. "However, I cannot bade you to hurt those you care for or work for, either directly or indirectly." he continues. "The price in gold is listed at the bottom. The weapon shall be complete upon completion of the favour."

"And what favour is that?"

The Appal considers.
"Find for me a special sword lost within the Wilds. I know roughly its position, within an old temple there for Anan." he continues, "Though the magic within the blade may have attracted monsters and beasts."

Micheal looks positively enamoured with the idea, and you are not shocked.

>This isn't one of your books, Micheal, it's a dangerous expedition.

>>29881843

>You want to come with, don't you.
>How dangerous will this be?

>>29881843

"This is no need of your people, Prince"

>>29881843
>This isn't one of your books, Micheal, it's a dangerous expedition.

"Trust me, travelling into the Wilds is not as much fun as it sounds. It's often wet and cold, your feet will hurt, you get tired of rations really quickly, and there's various beasts that will try and kill us."

Sigh and ask how far away it is.

Also, we should pick up more daggers, maybe a pair of katars as well, and a spear to use in the interim. I'd rather not try and get out to the temple without a spear.

>>29881919
We're also going to need another spear, if we're not getting our magical one until after this adventure.

Did the demon leave behind its silver hand? Because it might have something to do with its extremely potent magebreaking. And if ao we might be able to get gauntlets enchanted in a similar fashion... they ddi say silver is great for enchanting.

>>29882091
It reattached it. I was kinda hoping it wouldn't but yeah.

>>29882053
"You want to come with, don't you."

Micheal nods.
"Father tells me I need to build my capabilities and strength." he says. "This seems an excellent opportunity."

"How dangerous will this be?" you ask the Appal, who shrugs.

"Monsters and possible bandits." they say without much commitment. "I've no way of knowing."

We should probably stress the whole 'dangerous' bit to The Prince, though. Despite his luck in the last fight, this is a pretty good opportunity to kill him and he IS the King's son. Our job comes first. Always.

>>29882182

Sigh, sign the papers, grumble about joining the arena circuit to get out of the travelling business.

"Fine." you sign, and feel a little tug at your... soul. "Nnng."

"Sorry. Soul-binding contract. If you fail to commit to it, you're marked. However, you'd have to steal the finished weapon to have that happen." they explain, rolling it up.

"Micheal, you're sure on this? It will be /very/ dangerous."

"If I don't come, I'll be without a guardian." he says simply. "And you have to train me anyway. I'll frame it as /my/ expedition and you will go with me as my escort." he says with a nod.

"In the wilderness I can train you however I like. Just me and you, alone, on the road or in the wilderness. This might be more fun than I thought it would be." Give Micheal a smile.

>>Also, we need to buy another spear, please. Normal. As soon as possible.

"We can leave tomorrow!" he says, excited. "I will ask father now!" he says, racing off before you can say more. That boy.

"Do you have a good premade spear?" you ask.

After purchasing that, a strong iron spear, you head back to the castle.

Stay with Micheal for now, then get our wound checked out, and then I think we should pay a visit to Raev's temple.

We could use a prayer to the Goddess of Fate and the Night as we're about to go on a journey involving magic, and being in the Wilds at night.

Its true... Raev did come through for us, and it didn't even interfere with our work.

>>29882996
You move into the main hall, where Micheal is talking with the king. At first you were worried the King wouldn't allow it, but he seems rather enthused, happily granting him a carriage loaded with supplies - tents, rations, gear, all sorts of things.

In fact, the king demands that he get started as soon as possible, even tonight.

You frown, moving into your room. The bed is empty, in Teel's place, a note.

'I am afraid I had to leave before I could speak with you in person. While normally I would adore the company of a lady such as you, certain issues have bound me in long-term to another - when I warned you of our relations being short and passionate, this is to what I refer. I apologize if I lead you on.'

We both knew this was a fling.

>>29883339

This. Seems like he's alluding to something that's not just standard relationship fare.

>>29883303
>>Be let down.
>>This is what you expected.
Such is the life of those caught by the whims and fancies of royalty. Hopefully we can still write to him or communicate by Long, though.

>>29883303
>This is what you expected.

It's a shame, and I would have liked to spend a bit of time with him. We might not love him, but we do hold affection for him and enjoy his company even without the amazing sex.

But we both knew getting into this that we both had important jobs and obligations that would get in the way of spending time together.

And I would really suggest a prayer to Raev before setting out, and we shouldn't leave in the middle of the night.

Also, our armor has a hole in it due to the heat beam, we might want to get that, and the wound looked at.

>>29883339
I like this.

>>29883303

You run your fingers through your hair, then buck up, standing. You need several things before you leave.

First of all, you patch up your armor - not a difficult process by far, but you change into your semiformal wear for the patch to take. Then you apply a healing patch to your chest - Karl had delivered these only the other day, and you're only too happy to use them.

Finally, while it's getting later in the day, you can still pray to Raev alone. The idea, however, makes you flush, as the general method is some sort of dance or exhibition in the dark. Outdoors.

Fully undressed.

You file that away, for now.

We can pray to Raev the 'right' way when we're out on the expedition with the Prince.

I wouldn't mind doing the other two things if we have time, but let's get the favor of our Goddess first, and thank her for delivering a piece of forbidden love to us that wasn't too complicated.

In that order, ee can pray "properly" later.

>>29883685
First thing is to head to the church.

It's not that far, maybe twenty minutes. The church is incredible, black marble and golden edging everywhere. The priest you met before meets with you, in robes of black lace.

And, rather obviously, nothing beneath. You flush deeply, and he chuckles.
"We are not called "Unadorned" for no reason, Annelin.'

"You remember my name?"

"I remember everyone's name." he says. "You have come here for..."

"Myself and the prince are going on an expedition. I desire the lady's favour, or at least, not her ire."

He nods, lighting a candle - one of twenty.
"And for what cause is this?" he asks.

"I am fulfilling a contract, and teaching him proper combat."

He lights two more candles, nodding.
"Very good. Do you love the boy?"

Annelin was pretty much just rough a few threads ago.

>>29883781
>I hardly know him yet. He's a skirt chasing idiot, but he has courage and good intentions.

>>29884013
I feel like tsuntsun is kind of out of character for her, yeah, but I wouldn't say she's entirely devoid of confusing feelings for the prince.

However as he is right now any relationship she had with him would be doomed to failure and ruin our chances of him respecting us enough to learn all the things he needs to learn.

SmutAnon here, I'm sorry to say I don't think I'll have the first part done today. Haven't felt well, and I've had trouble even holding the smallest of boners.

>>29883781

I like him well enough, but love? It's too soon to tell.

>>29883781
"I suspect Raev knows my heart better than I do.

I like him despite his flaws, but I wouldn't know if it was love."

>>29884049
Well maybe if you stopped holding all those tiny boners you could get enough sleep to recover.

>>29883781
He is a good kid with his heart in the right place and a good head on his shoulders. He just needs to learn to think with that head more than the other one.

He lights another candle. There is the sound of something rolling across a board.
"Twelve candles in all out of twenty. You will be favoured." he says, smiling as he slowly brings a paper over each flame in turn. Blue ink draws a line where the fire passes, and he slides it into a pouch. "Wear this around your neck." he says, then blows out the candles. "Raev will walk with you." he bows, and you leave, touching the talisman, still warm.

Your next move is to Karl, who smiles at you, still wearing a shirt.

"Ah! I have not seen much of you since the dra dice. You and Teel got on well enough?" he asks.

You tell him a not-lewd summary, and he nods. "It sounds just like him... At any rate, why are you here?"

"I need some supplies for a journey."

He nods, handing you a small box. You open it, finding three vials within.
"Those will heal any wound. They are not difficult to make, in fact, merely time consuming."

"Any wound?"

"So long as the heart beats. Mind, it is /quite/ painful." he says.

"Poisons?"

"Yes." he says with a smile. "It is a blessing of Law - they will return to a state previous to their harm." he says. "The pain comes from the forced recreation and replacement. Also, take this." Another box, with patches and fluid. "That should do for small wounds."

You bow, taking the supplies into the kitchen, where you pack jerky, tack, and other, similar foods.
