"Wait what about me?" Majazal growls

"You are of no importance in this test, demon" the feminine voice says "I only have interest in the one covered in bandages"

"Because, I may have use of it" The voice says "oh you I have none". Majazal growls, sounding like a crackling fire

Gotta appease imouto

"I accept this challenge" I say "But first you must answer a question that is grinding against my mind with such urgency to be answered". the thing's helmet tilts slightly, touching its shoulder pad.

"Creature of metal, what manner of being are you?" I ask "How do you function, let alone move?"

"Oh, it's a golem, doesn't talk much when I've given it a task to do, which is currently to duel you until a victor is decided" the voice says "it's powered by a mixture of magic and a soul of human warrior that I ripped screaming from its old body"

"it hurt, the last feeling I ever felt" it says with the voice of an anvil again, staring at the sky for a moment "Now, pick up your blade, so I may complete my task"

"One last question" I say "what use do you have of me?"

"Oh demons make wonderful regents for various alchemical creations" the feminine voice says "But that is not why I want you, you're no imp, you obviously have a personality, I just want to have a conversation about perhaps us coming to a mutually beneficial agreement with one another"

"Well, at least it isn't as annoying as being created for the sole purpose of ending one little life" I say "I shall think about it, but for now, Creature of metal, we shall battle". I shoulder my blade as the creature holds up its shield and puts its blade at an angle.

I run towards it, grabbing the handle of my blade with both hands as I raise it up to attempt to smash the thing into small and jagged pieces of metal. I swing down, using my body and momentum to bring the thing down with as much force as I can

there is a loud clang as my weapon meets it shield, it takes a step back word, its arm briefly falling apart before moving back into place.

"What soul resides within this metal shell?" I ask "I simply have to know"

"Oh his name was Huran" the feminine voice says "he wanted power, I offered him some, he agreed that he should've read the fine print, and he's been serving me ever since"

"I got what I wanted" the thing grunts

"oh, well that is a worry off of my mind" I say as jump back to avoid a swipe of its sword.

It twirls it blade around, before smacking it on the its shield and charging towards me.

I watch the thing run towards me, each step creating a horrible grinding and clanking noise. I watch the shield in its left hand, if it can keep blocking my strikes I'll never beat this thing. I stand my ground, reading myself to knock the shield as far as I can from the metal creature. Then again knocking out its legs would be an much easier way to deal with the thing, but they look to be made of much thicker and sturdier metal.

It raise its swords, and I swing mine.

It cuts into my shoulder as I spin around, slamming my blade into its unraised shield, shaking the thing with the sheer force of my strike.

The shield and the gauntlet holding it fly to the left, slamming into the ground at least twenty feet away from me. it begins to shake and shudder.

The thing raises it's blade again

A throbbing pain in my shoulder, last time I felt this sensation was when my left arm was torn from me by my foe, the one who I shall devour with much glee. I lick my lips as I turn my blade so the edge is facing the ground. I spin around, far faster than this former mortal could hope to.

I slam my blade into the sword aiming for my neck. the force of my strike causes the walking armor to shudder and shake for a few moments, unable to move from the sheer force that had slammed into it. Its arm is thrown back, it begins to slowly move again. I see my chance.

I grab onto the space beneath the helmet and pull myself up, slamming the pommel of my sword into the helmet, denting it, causing the thing to stumble.

It grabs me by my coat and throws me off of it.

the thing pants like the bellows of a forge as it raises its blade, the gauntlet and shield begin moving back towards it.

I can't let it get the shield back, I need to keep it focusing on the offensive, rather than the defensive, and the easiest way to do that is to remove the shield from the equation. I run past it, shouldering my blade so I don't drag it on the ground and slow myself down with it.

I hear the thing running after me as the gauntlet and shield shake more violently with each moment that passes by. I know the thing is right behind me, no doubt ready to skewer my on its blade like some kind of prey animal upon a spear.

I raise my leg as I get to the gauntlet and shield. it begins to move towards the armor.

I slam my foot into it, sending it flying through the air once again as pain fills my foot, I wonder for a brief moment as to why I felt pain from that, before I feel different kind of pain.

Starting from my back and ending in my chest, or rather my stomach. I see he stabbed his broken sword through my chest. I stare at it, thankful I don't need my spine to be able to move.

Fire and acid pour through the wound in my stomach as it pulls it blade back.

"Sister?" Majazal says as I stare at my wound

"Ow" I say flatly. I turn and face the thing of metal, it looks a bit confused as to why I a still able to move after its attack

It's the same action, really. Just bite off its arm and then eat the rest of its limbs afterwards.

I see it raise its broken blade once again, aiming for much higher than before, from the angle I can guess it is trying to lop my head off, or part of it at least. I am not sure if I could survive that, and for once I do not wish to learn if I could.

I crouch down, dropping my sword to stop it from weighing me down. It swings it sword down, missing me as I leap at it, latching my arms on to the back of its chest piece as my legs wrap around where its waist would be if it wasn't just a walking suit of old and damaged armor.

I see its arm bending in a way a creature of meat could never hope to copy. It's going to try to stab me again, this I can tell simply because this thing isn't at all clever, not in life, or death.

I open my mouth, wider than it should be possible, and bite into the front of the helmet, tearing it from the rest of the armor as I wrench my head backwards as I begin to chew the metal with the help of my acidic drool.

I am knocked from the thing as slams its pommel into my forehead with a resounding crack. I think my skull may have broke slightly. I can't tell, but I am once again thankful my body ignores most things that would kill any creature native to this plane.

I land on the ground, and stand back up as I swallow the remains of the helmet.

the thing is still standing, it seems to be looking for me, unable to see now that I have removed its eyes

This is wonderful, I can exploit its newborn weakness so long as I am careful about my next movements. I turn around to my sister, who's watching the battle from a yard or two away. I put my finger to my mouth. She figures out what I mean, and nods her head as I raise my leg and carefully place it on the ground, careful the not break a stick or shift a rock, I can't make a noise or the thing will catch me without my sword, which would be very bad for me.

I look at my feet, avoiding anything that could make even the slightest of noises as I make my way around the thing of metal

"Where are you, demon?" it asks, it's voice echoing from within it "Face me, I know you still draw breath, come and finish my task with me"

I take the finale step, and I'm behind it. Oh, that was easier than I had anticipated.

The soul that powers this thing must be held within the chest plate since that is where the glowing light is flowing from as far as I can tell. lick my teeth as I figure out my next action in bringing this thing down. I rub my hand along my chest wound, covering it with acid as well as my own black blood. I smile as I take one last careful step to get closer to thing.


I raise my arm back and ball it into a fist. this way may be crude and rather simplistic, but it should work if I can punch hard enough. I slam my fist into its back, sighing as I do so. I feel pain shoot through my arm as the arm sizzles and smokes from the acid. From the punch alone the back of it cracked slightly, but the acid has created a hole large enough for my arm to fit into it.

The thing roars,, sounding like my sister when she is angrier than usual as it turns around, swing it's blade. The shield is getting closer again. I grind my teeth

I put my hands close together, ready to wrench them apart to open a maw under the over glorified metal can. and then I realize that I probably should've move away from it before I did this. Oh, this isn't going to be ideal at all for me is it?

"SISTER!" Majazal shouts.

time seems to move slower than usual as the blade slowly moves towards me as my arms slowly move away from eachother. Why is everything going so slow? Oh this is near torturous.

I feel pain in my left arm. luckily it didn't get cut off, again. It hurts to move for some reason

I stumble backwards, holding onto the wound on my shoulder. damn,, he cut a few of the stitches keeping it in place. I clench my teeth, nearly biting my tongue off as blood fills my mouth. It has its shield back, wonderful, simply wonderful.

I need my sword. I need something to fight against this thing with out a risk of losing my limbs, I do not want to have to get sewn back together again, I don't want it, it hurts, it hurts so bad. I scramble between it's leg, trying to get my overly large blade as black as a room without light. I reach towards it, so close, oh so teasingly close, I just need to get it and.

What? I'm on the ground, why am I on the ground, my head is throbbing and I feel a near unbearable stabbing pain inside of it. I struggle to stand. I think he hit me with his shield, and I am sure my skull is broken now, as I am having trouble seeing straight and getting any part of me to move how I want it to.

I am not, going to let this happen to me again. I am the everhungering, I shall not be brought low again, I shall devour this impudent little worm placed in a shell and given power if does not deserve. I wrench my arms apart, barely able to get them to move as I want them to.

The maw opens and closes behind me as I fall down into my own stomach, pillars of fire and streams of acids falling all around me as I fall down, I hear whispers in my ears as I fall, though that may just be the head trauma I just suffered playing tricks on my mind. I twist myself around as I fall closer and closer to the pool of acid beneath me.

I smile as I spread my arms and legs apart, slowing my fall somewhat

I like to think of the Anons who get all the bad rolls as being that one kid you hated in high school cause he was pathetic at everything he did but he was convinced that he was awesome at it.

Then again I've rolled a few nat 1's in my time.

I wrench my hands together as I begin to regain my senses, I know what I need to do, I am best at eating things, that is when I am at my best, when I think with my stomach and bite and chew anything that gets in my way. That is how I dealt with the angel and how I would've dealt with my most hated of foes if she didn't nearly tear me to pieces.

The maw opens, showing my the world outside of my stomach. I see the metal thing, standing there, looking quite confused as to what happened to me once again. I reach my arms through the maw and grab on to its legs, and pull as hard as I can towards myself, pulling the thing through the maw, the momentum of my constant falling pulling it completely through into my only domain, my near endless stomach.

The thing twists begins to try to kick my head, I manage to dodge the first of it kicks. It raises its leg again

I can't fight this thing on equal terms, I may be stronger and more durable than most things of meat and bones, but I am still made of it, it is made of steel, which is more durable than anything made from flesh. I cannot keep trading blows with this, or I'll have to be put back together again, and I don't want to have to suffer through all the pain again, I..I need to get out of here before it damages beyond the point of my own unatural healing.

I begin to wrench my hands apart o create a maw to escape from here with. And then it grabs my leg, I feel the bones within buckle and bend from the sheer power of the thing

No, okay, guys, it's fine. We just need to vote for an option where there's no rolling involved and we can still dodge this by technicality.

Makes sense. We didn't get anything for any of the good rolls that happened with non-roll votes, so we shouldn't get the bad rolls with non-roll votes.

Though the option could have been a bad one all on its own regardless of roll, in which case we're kinda fucked.

I take a breath, and calm the burning desire to try and escape from this thing, I have already won anyways, no need to waste anymore energy facing this damn thing, I've already suffered enough wounds today, I'll just end this with words.

"Huran, was that the name of the soul who dwells in this metal shell?" I ask "I have something to tell you"

"FIGHT ME" It growls "ENOUGH WORDS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN TODAY, FIGHT ME, LET ME FINISH MY TASK"

"Oh I wouldn't say that, the task is finished, I have won" I say smiling smugly.

"What madness do you speak, demon?" it asks

"We're in my stomach" I say "the acids within melt through metal, or just about anything really"

"I am already dead" it says "I do not care if this shell is destroyed"

"You'd be trapped in here if I die" I say smiling "and if you don't let go, I won't let us back out, so no matter what happens, I have one"

"the duel has not ended, I can still fight" It says

"Huran" the feminine voice says "You've lost"

"Mistress?"

"Demon, do not destroy huran, I still have need of him" The voice says "I see that you're smarter than you look, I wish to speak with you know"

I smile, it feels good to win for once

I wrench my arms apart, opening a maw under me and the metal creature, dropping us back where we fought

"Sister!!" Majazal says as she sees me again "did you win, can I burn it, Can I, CAN I, CAN I!!?"

"If you want, just try not to harm it" I say standing up

"Demon, I wish to have words with you now" the voice says

I want to know more about voice lady.

What's her name? Is she a human? Why does she need a demon? Why was she rude to sister? Is it the incorporeal form? What is alchemy?

If she is a human, she's an interesting one. The soul stuff would make her more interesting than most humans.

"Okay" I say "But where are you, and will you be able to provide me with food, because if you can't I will be awhile"

"There will be food" the voice says with a sigh "and your fellow demon will not be able to join you for this"

"fine by me" Majazal says "I'll be here, playing with this thing"

"Huran, stay with the creature until the other returns" the voices says, the metal armor groans, almost sighing "and don't complain, if you're armor is destroyed we can always just get you a new body"

Majazal begins to laugh, sounding like crackling fire as she rubs all four of her clawed hands together as she approaches Huran.

"But where are you" I ask as I begin walking away from the two

"Oh" the voice says as purple fog begins to surround me "just right here"

I look around, I am no longer in the field, I can smell the sea nearby, as well as various other smells I have no names for.

I appear to be in a room, covered in strange glass and metal things, as well as books. there is an open window, the sky outside is grey, not blue like the sky over the field

I turn and see a figure, covered in robes, sitting at a small wooden table, with a pile of baked goods towered atop of a plate.

"Come" She says moving her arms, gesturing towards the other chair "Sit down". I look at her, face.Its eyes are empty, painted on, her mouth is unmoving . She is made from porcelain, like a doll.

>>36862499
I find it interesting that she decided to meet with Raz. She either feels that she could overpower us (probably can), or that Raz won't attack at all, that we couldn't really hurt her even if we tried, or this is all just an illusion or something and she's not really here.

>>36862698
Did you not pick up on this not being her real body?

I sit down, and begin the devour the various sweets in front of me, starting with a small pie that I find is filled with cooked meat and vegetables.

"Is this food real?" I ask "Because if I get a lot hungrier after I leave this place.."

"oh it's all real" She says "Baked it myself, took awhile, but I have a lot of time on my hands"

"By the way, is that your real body, or just another of your canned soul pets" I say as I begin to eat some kind of cake, taste like nothing I've had before, maybe it's burnt, because it's all black.

"this is the real me" She says "as real as a body of mine can be, I suppose"

"What do you mean?"I ask

"humans can't use magic" She says "I wished to use it, so I had to do some rather unpleasant things to myself to do so"

"So you're just a soul in a vessel?" I ask

"In the simplest of terms, yes" She says "But I never died, I simply made myself like your other, I have no form of my own, so to interact with the world I must inhabit this shell"

"is your real body still around?" I ask. She says nothing, and just stares at me

"Okay, different question" I say "have you seen a bat lady or a human female with one hand around anywhere?"

"The dutchess of bats?" She ask "oh I know where she is, not far from where you were actually, and for the latter, well, I'd need something from you"

"What?" I ask

"are you sure you wish to spend your favor on that?" she asks "or would you rather it be used on something else?"

"Hmm" I say "how do I know you aren't lying"

"You don't" She says with a giggle "this could just be a puppet, I could have lied about everything I told you"

"then why should I trust you?" I ask

"Well, I can give you so much" She says "all you have to do is a little favor for me, I'll even give you the gift before you complete the favor"

"You are aware I could take the favor and never return correct?"I say

"I'd find you" She says with her frozen smile

Easiest way to get him back, we can look for guardswoman while we heal up.

She's the one we have the least leads on, simply the fact she passed through that farm we're now at.
Plus, getting the BC back is gonna be a fun adventure, healing can happen eventually and using Huran to help kill batmom will be infuriating.

Farm workers, now that's tempting. Perhaps we could ask her what she could do in that regard before making a decision

>>36862992
>Indeed. Guardswoman.

On the other hand. If we accept her gift, we're agreeing to a favor that will remain nameless. This sounds like a Death Flag to me, or at least the choice that trips a Bad End...

"You entrapped that Huran with promises of power. He did not read the fine print, and I certainly will not sign a blank contract."

I suspect she wishes for either a demon body or for us to open up a hell gate for her. The former is more likely since it was an option to have her get based cultist out of hell for us.

"You entrapped Huran with a similar deal because he didn't see what he'd owe on his side of the bargain" I say biting into a jelly filled cookie,ooh blueberry"I certainly won't allow myself to fall for the same trick he did"

"Oh you're a clever one" She says "far cleverer than Huran, then again he is oh so short sighted, I doubt he even thought about what could happen to him"

"What will be the price I pay" I ask "dollmaster"

"Oh, depends on what you want" She says "a bit of information wouldn't be much, just clean up this room a bit, something that requires use of my abilities, well you can ask Huran about that".

>>36863566
Sure, but we didn't actually agree on a favour and the options we were presented with don't all fall under the 'bit of information' category

>>36863566
She said "it depends" and then "it wouldn't be much". The way she stated it didn't designate room cleaning as payment for the information we asked.

She has said nothing of value and when she's been presented as someone who tries to fuck people over with wording, fine print, and contracts, proceeding from where we are is folly.

"What will you ask of me?" I ask

"It depends on what you ask of me" She says

"How much constitutes a bit of information" I ask

"Anything not forgotten by time or hidden by magic" She says "small things you know, like locations of something"

"And the location of a certain human?" I ask

"Child's play" She says

"What about lending out your toys" I say

"Depends on how many" She says "You'd have to do some work for me, to get work from me, now tell me what you want already"

"Not until I figure out how you're attempting to bind me to your will" I say

She sighs and holds her head in her hands

"Where is the guardswoman whose hand I ate and I later chained to a wall to make sure she wouldn't escape?" I ask

"Oh that's an easy one" She says "give me a few moments. She stops me, glowing slightly purple. I continue eat the various pastries and bread on the plate, all of them taste wonderful, none of them taste the same, and I think most of them are unique. However I soon finish off the last crumb of food on the plate, and then eat the plate as well, doesn't taste as good as what was on top of it.

"She's traveling with other survivors of the city" She says "Her humanity drains as she drenches herself in the blood of monsters, her and her fellows are currently resting in a small cottage north and not too far from the field I found you at, they're moving soon"

Every word she spoke sound far smugger than it should have normally

"Now, clean this room up a bit" She says sounding full of herself

I begin to place books back into the bookshelf as carefully as I care to, at least trying to not scuff the covers or tear any pages. I wipe the dust from various surfaces as well as I can without further dirtying them. I clean the glass thing and wipe excess grease from the metal ones.

I don't know how long I took to clean the room up to my standards, but at least I got it done without losing anything or having to work for her for eternity. I wipe my hands against each other and smile

"Do you want any pants before I send you back?" She ask "it was a bit too distracting to have to watch you work without them"

"I have no need of coverings" I say "I am far more resistant to the elements than humans or other beasts"

"But common decency" She says "do you realize what is showing right now"

"You assume I care that a part of me is showing that humans do not show" I say "I am a demon of gluttony, a curious one, I do not care if anyone sees my flesh laid bare, for I will most likely eat them soon after they see me"

"Are you sure you don't want any pants?" She asks


"Just send me back" I say "the pants will no doubt cost me something anyways"

"Damn" She sighs "fine, goodbye demon, until we meet again"

I am back in the field the next time I blink, the air is cold now, and the sky is dark. the only light I can see is the farm in the distance and Huran burning nearby

"But she isn't worth anything" she says

"it's the principle of the thing" I say

"Doesn't make any sense to me" She says "should just burn her"

"She is the first human to not show fear towards me" I say "I need to study her more"

I don't know what an inn is, but it has to be something right? I walk down the dirt path, my sister following after me as I do so. this path is more well kept than the other, and the foliage is trimmed along the sides.

After a bit of walking I see lights in the distance, I begin to walk faster as I close in and then I hear some very off key singing and see a building sitting in a small clearing, there some hooded figures messing around near a cart and a small building to the side

No, it's just on fire. There's actual hair underneath the fire. If Raz goes underwater, she doesn't suddenly become bald.

Those things are about human sized, I think. I should get a closer look to see what they are, since I have a sneaking suspicion but I need to be sure about it before I can act on it.

The figures notice me approaching and turn to hide there faces from me, mumbling amongst themselves as they continue to load the cart up.
I grind my teeth, clever little things they are.

Oh I know, I'll look at there hands, and they're covered by their cloaks. I grind my teeth some more as they continue to load things onto the cart, ignoring me.

"Hello" I say smiling "Have you perhaps seen any humans around here?". they all shake their heads, their arms and hands trembling as they put more and more things onto the cart.

"Oh don't be rude" I say "say something, it isn't that hard is, I mean unless you can't speak or are hiding something"

"N..no" one of them says in a really forced sounding voice that is attempting to sound like gravel being rubbed on itself "why do you ask"

"oh just looking for one" I say "a very particular human in fact, perhaps you've seen her, she stands out somewhat after all"

"Can't say I've seen any humans" a female human says trying to sound gruff and intimidating

"Ah well" I say "mind if I lend a HAND". one of the humans stops moving for a minute and takes a deep breath before sighing and continuing to work.

"S..sure" the gravel human says.

I grab a box and lift it onto my shoulder, I think it's filled with rocks or something, can't quite tell. One of the hooded figures is holding there arm close to themselves, I place the box down onto the cart and move over to that one, who is near a sack of somekind.

I grab her arm, pulling the sleeve up, no hand, definitely human.

"Hi, how are you" I say smiling "I'm hungry"

"You" She says "you're alive then"

"As alive as I can be I suppose" I say as I hear weapons being drawn "I wonder if you've told them what I can do"

"They know,, they also know you're the one who destroyed the fucking city" She says glaring at me

"Oh that wasn't me, was the demons and the angels and the other monsters" I say laughing "I just opened the door for them, and they chose what do"

"Do you realize how many people died, I know you don't care, but do you realize just how much life was lost that day?" She

"somewhat" I say

Oh shit, this is fucking devious and I love it. Also, QM, does doing actions that don't coincide with our nature change us? Like, if we fall into rage or lust or wahtever, will our nature change making us less hungry and such?

>>36866133
>>36865970
Yep. She's our guard lady.

>>36865970
>>36866133

This
Didn't think of the first part but I did want to follow her to see what happens.

>>36866205
Well, it could, I mean Majazal cares about Raz, at first she was only following her because she was the first thing she met and you led her to things to burn most of the time

So if you act a certain way it can influence how Raz is

an easier way for something like that would be to devour a powerful soul or demon.

I mean she always be hungry and curious for the most part
unless she renounces that for some reason.

Demons are weird like that

"I may not need guarding personally, but there was this little farm with a nice family a ways to the south of here who I'm sure would love to have a non-monster to protect them" I say grabbing onto her shoulders as the others point their weapons at me. She stares into my eyes, showing no signs of fear at all.

"They seemed well enough when I left" She says "they said I should continue traveling with this lovely bunch of people, you didn't eat any of them did you?"

"No, I just thought you'd want to be there to make sure I didn't" I say "perhaps you still care some for the halfbreed, You seemed somewhat invested in not letting her become more of a monster, and she's surely learning all about how wonderful blood tastes from her mother."

"I didn't know she was even still alive" She says her face filling with worry and concern "and you say her mother has her, that isn't at all good, but what could I possibly do to help her"

"Humans can do plenty when they're lucky" I say "and you have a lot of luck don't you"

"not from what I've seen" She says "still, she's p..probably happier there anyways". I sigh, shaking my head.

"Fine, if you don't want to come with me, I could always just follow you around"I say smiling widely, causing the other humans to flinch "I'm rather curious as to what will happen when all of your humanity finally drains away while you still live"

"What?"she, the others, and my sister say

"You're turning into a monster" I say "guess you were to brave to be a human"

"Is there anyway I can stop this?" She asks, sounding afraid for the first time ever "there has to be a way right, I mean there's always out of anything, there always is"

"Only a matter of time, now. Who will protect these people from you when that happens?" I ask "I mean I'd probably help whatever you became to slaughter them". She says nothing and looks at her feet, her eyes empty of her usual fire.

Hey, maybe whatever she'll turn into will be able to regrow her hand! Or maybe she'll keep the same mind in a fancy new improved body!

A transformation into a new monster-like being is like a mystery box! It could be anything, it could even be herself! Or a mimic, I guess.

Maybe we could ask the mysterious lady if there's a way to stop the process?

At least think about it this way, not all monsters are bad. With me there to keep baby monster you in line you and your friends won't be in danger. I have no interest in humans now, monsters are my prey. Heck you friend can come along and tend the farm! it'll be fun!

>>36866561
>I have no interest in humans now, monsters are my prey.
Not entirely true. Humans are good enough to eat, they're just kinda boring.

>>36866587
She doesn't need to know that! besides while we won't pass up a free meal we prefer finer fare and go after it.

"Why don't we all come back to my place, that way you're friends can stay useful on the farm so I don't have to eat them, while you and I can look into more desirable options for you?"

>>36866481
Tell her that the best thing for her is to come with us. She can't protect these people as she is doing. Not for much longer, anyway.

If she comes with us, maybe she'll be able to actually help some people. At the very least, she'll definitely be helping the people she's with now.

She's been broken down. Now we just need to give her a new purpose.

"Oh its not so bad" I say placing and arm around her shoulder as I stand by her side "I mean you may even get your hand back when you transform".

"I don't care" She says flatly "I'm doomed already, hehehe, already dead as far as I'm concerned, so why don't you just bury me right now"

"Oh stop being so melodramatic" I say "I mean I remember when I was human, at least partially, somewhat I suppose, it isn't that bad being a monster, you're so less squishy than humans when you're a monster"

"You were h..human" She stutters giggling "Oh that's just wonderful isn't it, something as terrible as you was human once, just wonderful, simply fantastic, hehehe"

"Leave her be beast" one of the human says pointing his blade at me. A rusted thing, looks like it was dredge up from the pond in the cave, actually.

"Oh its not like I'm harming her in anyway" I say biting into the blade and chewing it in front of him "I'm just trying to cheer her up a little". I swallow the metal.

"You're not helping" Another human says

"Oh I am, just not for you" I say "I mean I know a place you can stay, the five of you, a nice little farm, I think it has around 10 humans or so there, nice place really, so long as you help out with the work, I won't devour you alive"

"Showing a shred of kindness, now are you?" Guard asks her voice still dry and dead "how unexpected"

"Well its my farm, so I need to keep it well stocked with humans to run it while" I say "I mean they don't need to come if they don't want to"

"We're not bedding up with a monster" one of them says, the others nod "especially you"

"Shame" I say "But we can still look for alternatives for you, and if there are none, well they themselves said what they thought about monsters didn't they"

"Oh like you'd care enough to help me at all" She says "You're right, I can't stay with them anymore if I'm becoming something like you, I can't protect them anymore without the fear of turning against them"

>>36866889
"we're sorry" one of the humans says "but there's just no way we can help you"

"Oh I don't mind, should've died when I met her" She says "just go along and forget me okay, like I never even existed, okay?"

"Okay" the humans say sadly as they begin to pack

"Well that was easier than expected" I say smiling. Guardswoman says nothing

I'd love to burn down the forest. There's probably all kinds of monsters in there and they'll run around freaking out when the place goes up in flames.

>>36867025
I feel sad we don't get the extra workers or at least a couple mouthfuls but this is probably most tactful for getting guardswoman back.

I leave the guardswoman to mull over her fate as I go back to helping the humans pack the last few crates and sacks

"Why?" One of them asks as they get on the cart. I smile and shrug as they ride away. Majazal stare longingly at it as the cart vanishes into the dark of the night, they're probably going to die horrible, ah well.

"Damn, I wanted to burn them" she says with a sigh like a fire being extinguished "Now I'm pissed off"

"Oh, You're always pissed off" I say as I pick up the guardswoman and place her on my shoulder as I walk back towards the farm. We walk in silence, except for Majazal complaining about everything she sees and talking about how much less infuriating it would all be if it was on fire.

We enter the field with the knee high grass.

"Say, now that we're nearly back, do you want to hear my story?" I say

"Well gee, its not like it could make my day any worse" She says as I start walking towards the distant lights of the farm.

"Well, you see me and my sister used to be humans" I say

"WE WERE?!" Majazal says angrily "Oh now I feel a bit sick of it all"

"Yes we were" I say "in an orphanage that is no doubt completely destroyed by now, anyways, I don't remember much of my life as a human, all I remember is the end of it really, from the eyes of another, I was sold to some cultists, I'm sure you remember them, the ones who were terrified of me, well they tortured me for a few days, did unspeakable things to my body, but I didn't hold a drop of hatred for them, apparently I just smiled, can't remember my thoughts around that time anyways". She nods

"Anyways, they sacrificed me, or rather they thought they did" I say smiling "See, it turns out my soul was just torn from my body and placed into a blade" I say "where it was corrupted by all their dark desires and sins, turning it into me as you see me now, reborn as myself, of course I eventually figured out what I used to be"

Cont

>>36867316
"Which of course meant little to me by then" I say "I mean I am me now, and I was me then, why worry about what I've become when I am always me, hell, I even ate my old body before I found my sister again, and she became herself"

"You're hurting my head" Majazal groans

"Well, that is certainly worse than what I am goign through" She says "oh wait, everyone I knew is dead, and I know what is going to happen to me ahead of time"

"Yeah, you may be a bit worse off" I say "I just thought I was going to die"

"Head still hurts" Majazal groans

I open the gate to the farm and close it behind us, every human inside is asleep except for carrots and the ones I got from the monster in the woods, who are drinking near the barn

I place the guardswoman down, as Majazal goes into her torch, still complaining about her head

A monster is closer to a human than a demon is. Who knows you might remember more of yourself and be unchanged. You're changing yourself, it wasn't forced on you.

No. I'd liketo stop it too.

We probably just need to have her slaughter more and more monsters.
