The snake lord seems to be rattling his restraints in your direction to beckon you over, but instead of responding you call to you friend, “Yuki, could you please help me a bit… “ “Ohh, right!” Your best friend runs over to you and starts the heal your wounds and burns. “Honestly, no matter how much we warn you, you just go for it anyways.” “Sorry,” was all you could really say, you had to do some important things before worrying about your health anyhow.

You looked over to Raiko and Kakuri, “Raiko, listen, go with the dragon servants and ask them for magic suppression cuffs. Otherwise, this bastard will just run away again. Once his magic is suppressed we can interrogate him.” Raiko looked uppity, “She turned outside the gaping hole in the castle and flew off. Kakuri cackles, “My what little faith you have in me.” You chide back, “Almost zero.”

“Now then, You turn slightly to face your real concern, the sorceress from the man who has hounded you incessantly. “Tharja, I understand if you might not feel like it, but we need to talk…” Tharja looks rather dismissive, as well as sad,” ….Aki could you make her feel better at all? Also Victoria can you please smash that orb, it's connected to him somehow and shattering it would probably be for the best.” Aki makes her way to Tharja while Victoria jumped at your words, “SWEET!” She approaches and prepares to smash the orb with her foot. Tharja looks at the scene weakly as if to show interest, but she rolls her head back downward. Victoria puts her everything into a stomp and the orb fractures. She followed it up with a second kick from her other leg which sent the ball flying into a wall and shattering.

“Alright, now Tharja, again I am sorry to ask this so soon but-” you try to finish your sentence but you fell backward into Yuki, who at this point was mending any part of your body she could find injured. “Are you okay?!” She asks frantically. “It’s okay Yuki-” Is what you tried to say, but oddly you just mouthed the words out. Strange, you want to answer but you just quite can't, and slowly you notice that your eyesight is dimming while the world seems to lose all sound.” You looked around as your vision grew weaker, Aki came slithering as fast as she could toward you while the others are trying to keep everything under control. The last think your vision focuses on is the snake lord who could see was cackling, and at least that sound you could hear clear in your mind.

You open your tired eyes to find that you at a familiar chatting room with a dark and usual visitor, though this time the visitor is far less tall in stature. “Darling, you are in a curious place right now.” Mother begins taking a sip from her now size appropriate cup of wine. “You have found another puppet of the force persisting to find you, what do you intend to do? I should think you think it foolhardy to simply kill her. After all, the latest one became your sister.”

Sitting opposite of the vampire you remark, “You know this is the first time in a while you talked to be about all this, why do you care? I am more than capable of making my own decisions.” Mother laughs, “Haha, Darling, I am not questioning your abilities, I merely just want to add my opinion this time.” She says with a wink at the end. “You know, I could even find out more from her personally if you want, I am rather adept at getting the info I want…” Mother says while rimming the edge of her wine cup.

"To be honest, I planed for Kagehana and Rozalin to... cheer her up. And then interrogate her." You walk to Elena, give her a hug and start to brush her hair with a brush you got from... somewhere.

"After that, I plan to give her to the Oni as a prisoner. If she killed my little sister parents, then she is dead. If she did not, then you can have her."

>>852387
This works.

"You know is weird how things change, when I first arrived here you were terrifing. Now I... I have got a lot atronger and I could have killed you if I wanted, but that wouldn't solve my problems." You continue to brush her hair and pet her. "Do you want to be my little sister? I don't plan for Adrian to come with us so you could do so instead. I... I don't know... should I keep wandering? The Master no longer has the Sun Orb and he aparently doesn't have the other one. The Shadow demons don't obey him even if he aparently kidnapped a baby one. I think the Shadow Orb will be safe for now. I... I want to take a break. The harpies, globins and arachne are allies. The Scorpionkin could easily join then. There is the Dark Elves but... I am tired. So damn tired. Can't I just rest for a bit?"

"To be honest, I planned for Kagehana and Rozalin to... cheer her up. And then interrogate her." You walk to Elena, give her a hug and start to brush her hair with a brush you got from... somewhere.” Odd, you simply imagined there was a comb in your hand and it appeared, maybe this might have something to do with it being a mental landscape you are in. Mother looks rather uncomfortable, “Listen, Darling, I appreciate what you are trying to do but you really shoul-” You cut her off, "After that, I plan to give her to the Oni as a prisoner. If she killed my little sister’s parents, then she is dead. If she did not, then you can have her." “Well that sounds simple enough but Really! You can stop now!” You ignore her and continue.

Combing her hair was strangely calming, monotonous, but calming. You start speaking softly, “You know is weird how things change, when I first arrived here you were terrifying. Now I... I have got a lot stronger and I could have killed you if I wanted, but that wouldn't solve my problems." Mothers objections to your acts slowly begin to fade as you continue to brush her hair and pet her.

The more you do this the more a pleasant idea comes to mind, "Do you want to be my little sister? I don't plan for Adrian to come with us so you could do so instead. I... I don't know... should I keep wandering? The Master no longer has the Sun Orb and he apparently doesn't have the other one. The Shadow demons don't obey him even if he apparently kidnapped a baby one. I think the Shadow Orb will be safe for now.” Mother calm says, “Darling as far as I know, there are only a few locations you haven’t been the archipelago to the south-west and the shadowlands in the north. Plus it has almost been a year, likely by the time you finish up we’ll get things sorted out for you to head back. You want that right?” She softly asks but you didn’t exactly know how to take it.


“As for being your sister… it would be rather odd since I am already your Mother, though I do not mind the closeness of our current relationship, I don’t think I could be any less than your elder sister.” She scoffs,”regardless of my form I am still over 500 years old you know.”


Your hands begin to shake as you continue, your words become harder to say, “I... I want to take a break. The harpies, goblins, and Arachne are allies. The Scorpionkin could easily join then. There is the Dark Elves but... I am tired. So damn tired. Can't I just rest for a bit?" “You mean as an alliance of some sort? Against the No-Named man? You will need to be a little clearer but if that was your intention it is feasible, though most do not see him as a direct threat. Honestly, if we knew more about him it would be a lot easier to figure things out.”


>Talk with Mother more about feelings
>Yes I mean an alliance like that, can we do it, how?
>Alright, then I best interrogate Tharja then
>Write in

>>852571

"You are not my mother, I am the friendly ghost that helped you, remember?" You continue to pet her and smile."Plus you want this. And honestly... while I have made plans... most of the time those plans are made with little time and in a hurry. I... I need a break. Plus with the war over there is still no Emperor in... oh that could work."

"Do you think the others could accept the Thunderbird as Empress? She might be an idiot but she is more powerful than anyone else here. And she would mostly be a figurehead anyway. We could have the Lords as advisors and since that harpy is a really powerful not many would dare to object."

>>852658
This.

You change "Elena" clothes to those more apropiate for her age, making her look more cute. Then you do a tickle attack.

"Yes it sounds stupid, but I will make it work somehow.Raiko will be a strong Empress and since she is not a snake, kitsune, dragon or demon it will be harder to accuse her of favoritism. Granted she used to serve the dragons, but it was because she wanted to keep the harpies safe, or at least that's what we will tell to the public. After I stay a few weeks to make sure things don't fall apart and to expend time with my demon sister, I will go back with the harpies. Sure that will give the Master time for his nefarious plans but if he could use the entrance to the shadow realm in the badlands and find the Shadow Orb he probably did so already. Also I want to see if Anna and Victoria beating up many demons and others in fights turns then into Oni. Yeah I don't sound sane, but this is a dream after all."

You then change your dream self into a two tailed kitsune. "Mmm, what do you think? Does this look work for me?"

You then get tired of "work" and play games with Elena who finds hard to leave due to Kagehana interference.

"You are not my mother, I am the friendly ghost that helped you, remember?" You continue to pet her and smile."Plus you want this. And honestly... while I have made plans... most of the time those plans are made with little time and in a hurry. I... I need a break. Plus with the war over there is still no Emperor in…” You get a new thought in your head, “..,.oh that could work." Mother looks on at your seemingly daydreaming state, “Darling, what you may have been in the past doesn't define you what we are now, and I will not budge from this opinion.” Poor sport, oh well better keep going with your other thought.

"Do you think the others could accept the Thunderbird as Empress? She might be an idiot but she is more powerful than anyone else here. And she would mostly be a figurehead anyway. We could have the Lords as advisors and since that harpy is a really powerful not many would dare to object."

“Doubtful, the servant-master relationship is far too strong there and if you were to put Raiko in power, a girl who first of all, doesn’t care about the position then it be disastrous. Also, who’s figurehead? If you are planning to give her advisors and expect nothing of her then they may as well be the rulers themselves!”

Time for another assault, “you imagine in your mind a new outfit for Elena one that was cute and suited to her age. A frilly little outfit. “What is-” She was too distracted by her change in clothes to fear the true danger your tickling hands possessed. “S-S-S-S-STOP! Ahh… haa…” She is trying desperately hard not to giggle or laugh but you don’t stop.

Instead, you continue your conversation, "Yes it sounds stupid, but I will make it work somehow. Raiko will be a strong Empress and since she is not a snake, kitsune, dragon or demon it will be harder to accuse her of favoritism. Granted she used to serve the dragons, but it was because she wanted to keep the harpies safe, or at least that's what we will tell to the public.

“D-D-D-Darrrrrrll-l-ling, haha, you would have to…. Haha… convince everyone to be her…. Second...hahaha.” She tries valiantly but she succumbs begins to burst out into laughter. It was a little mean to ask her all that serious stuff during that but boy was it fun!

After her laughter calmed she seriously addressed the questions, “You are becoming quite mischievous darling, though if not a little too daring… ahem! That is all rather interesting but again, can’t you tell by their actions that none of them want to bow down, it would be better for form a council unless you killed all 4 of them or something. You can stay there as long as you want, though, you’ll just have to deal with whatever happens later I suppose. Next, though you're really…..”

There was a blank look on the vampire’s face as you change your mental form to that of a two-tailed kitsune, “Mmm, what do you think? Does this look work for me?” You prance and shake to show off your new “look.”

“You know what darling, I came here to talk to you for a change, but if this is just what is going to happen I’ll talk to you later.” She Waves you off but there is a pressure keeping her from leaving. “W-What! But how? She was injured it can’t be…”

“C’mon Elena, don’t you ever get tired of being serious all the time, we should take a little time here and then have fun” She awkwardly laughs, “hehe… I guess…” “Great!” you grab her by the arm and embark on a series of fun childlike games. The only problem with your fun plan was that she was good at actually everything you could think of. You lost most of your little games almost instantly, but when it came to checkers you were still the Queen. At least you could hold that as your last bastion.

After what seemed like hours of playing Elena and you fall to the ground exhausted. Breathing heavily you ask, “Wasn’t that fun?” “S-Surprisingly..” she reciprocates your breathing. “At least we got to have a little fun darling,” she giggles, “But both you and I have kept each other too long you should go back and sort out that mess doesn't you think?” “Yeah…” you honestly didn’t want to but you guess you had to. You close your eyes as Mother begins to fade and soon you find yourself awake in the real world.

You awaken with your sister, Yuki, and Aki asleep at your side. It looked to be the dead of night in what you assumed was still the snake palace. You didn’t entirely know what was happening but you could hear what sounded like light thumps underneath the floor of the room. The dungeons were down there, but after what happened who exactly would be down there? And why?


>Wait till the morning
>Go check it out

>>853135
>Wait till the morning
>Hug Yuki

>>853135
>Wait till the morning
>Hug Yuki

>>853167
>>853174

Best to wait till the morning, but before you rest up you give your best friend a hug in thanks for all she does for you. She’ll be one of your two worry wart friends. Speaking of which you take a moment to look at Aki who is on your opposite and also asleep. Seeing both of them and asleep you think back to the castle where you and Lady Ryuga laid together. You promised them you wouldn’t and that promise is starting to eat you up, and Yuki’s constant care and attention are only making it worse. You say to both of them, “I’m sorry…” They couldn’t hear you, but you felt a little better after saying it. After that, you head back to rest until the morning.

Morning came shortly, thankfully, Your friend around you slowly began to wake up and stretch, “Morning,” you greeted them. “Morning…” Yuki yawned, half asleep, but after realizing it was you she grew more active, “wait are you okay!” She places her hands on your head and began checking all your vitals. “Yeah, thanks to you.” you smile to assure her of your words. “Onee-chan!” you hear Taka’s enthusiastic voice to you waking up. You greet her too with a smile but then turn to Anna, “How are things here, we are still in the castle right?” “R-Right,” She stumbles, either because she didn’t expect your jump to business so quickly, or it was still morning. “Y-Yeah, we are still in the castle, after you passed out Ryuga, Shiromitsu, and Shirabu came here, turns out that after we defeated Tharja her soldiers stopped fighting, Kakuri’s forces also surrendered after you defeated him of course.” “Alright, so what is happening now?” “Now… now people are still sorting everything out, the other lords have taken over the castle while Kakuri and Tharja are in the dungeons. Raiko got her own rom and so far seems to be rather happy.” Wonder why. “Alright, well then after we get up then first thing's first, we talk to Tharja.

>>853426

After getting fully prepared for the day you get up stretch and make your way down to the dungeons. The castle seemed rather busy with three different major races rushing about it. Thankfully they aren’t killing each other. You definitely need to talk to the 3 lords but for now, you need to talk with Tharja. The stairway down to the dungeons was windy and long, but in the end, you were met with the usual for dungeons, iron bars. On the other side of those bars were a lot of Kakuri’s sane soldiers but Kakuri and Tharja had each their own cells, probably for good reason. Kakuri had odd metallic braces on his arms and legs, also likely the magical suppression gear. Nevertheless, your focus is Tharja.

Standing with iron bars between you gives you a sense of power, but you needed to stay calm. Tharja on the other side of the bars was curled up into herself. “Aki, were you able to help at all, Rozalin? Kagehana?” Aki starts to talk, “I’ll explain. We did what we could but she is overall unwell. She is far more lucid than she appears but she prefers to keep to herself, at least physically. There seems to be powerful magics placed on her, but we don’t know who.”

Well, perhaps words will help.

Well, 16 + 4 is 20, so good.

>>853456

You bring out Auriel's communication sphere and make a call so to say. “Auriel, I got a problem with a person whose mind was altered with evil magic, may you be able to help me at all?” “hmmm, well let's see….. He pauses as you see white flashes occur over and over from the orb. “Ahhh, here we are, “It depends on the level of the spell you might have to delve deeper.” “Deeper?” “Deeper in the mind of course!” “Ahh, okay, so how? Well, delving into another's mind usually takes a while, but uhhh, if you had some sort of creature that might…” “Like a shadow demon?” “LIKE A SHADOW DEMON! Wait.. where would you have gotten that?” “It’s a long story.”


“Well regardless then, I would test the waters, see how she is and if not then you would have to dive in with that shadow demon of yours or do so personally with the assistance of another mage of some sort.” “Great thanks..”


You turn your attention to the woman before ou, “Since that man messed with your mind, I will just ask, were you responsible for killing the current demon lord’s parents?”


Tharja’s starts to speak in a small monotone voice, “You mean that little girl’s parents… yeah, I did it.” Her voice was low, unfeeling, and the emptiest monotone you had ever heard. It was almost as if she wasn’t even consciously there.


“Kagehana, did you ask her while you were messing with her during the battle?” “Yeah, but I didn’t get much beyond her jealousy and spite.” Your eyes dart to Tharja, who despite Kagehana’s words, did not react.

You look to your shadow sister, “Kagehana can you go in again? This time, go deeper go deeper and don't be afraid to eat, as long as you don't kill her or the damage is irreparable, feel free to do whatever you want.” She looks hesitant but willing, “Alright Onee-chan, but it might get loud.” “That’s fine.” “Alright then…”

Your shadow melds itself with Tharja while you think about other options, thinking about it there was that temple of monks on this island that has stood for hundreds of years, maybe someone there can help you. Also, the demons and their blood rituals were likely to have a solution. It’s another option at least.

While thinking you start to hear some noises. At first, it was shuffling and minor grunts and light phrases but soon Tharja’s body started to move. Her arms were beginning to involuntarily move about, sometimes slamming into the iron bars. Tharja’s voice grew louder as her legs began to move similarly to her arms and convulse floor, “no, no, no, I didn’t do anything wrong! I'm sorry! DON’T LEAVE ME!” her body was grotesquely moving about and her words turned to screams.

“Stop this!” Yuki shouts as she grabs your shoulder looking scared, “Stop this right now!” She yells with a firm grip on your shoulder. You say back, “She won’t die Yuki its okay.” “It’s torture! And it also reminds me of Taka when she…” Yuki couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence but you knew she meant that fateful morning before heading to Yaga.


>Get over it Yuki, she won’t die
>Stop it, we’ll find another way
>Write in

>>853958
"Yuki, if we do nothing my little demon sister will kill her. If it bothers you so much, let's have Aki paralize her so the sorceress doesn't hurt her body. And after is over you can heal her. Also remember those globins whose heads exploded? She is cursed with evil magic like that. So really is this or death for her."

>>853989
This works.

You explain, "Yuki, if we do nothing my little demon sister will kill her. If it bothers you so much, let's have Aki paralyze her so the sorceress doesn't hurt her body. And after is over you can heal her. Also remember those globins whose heads exploded? She is cursed with evil magic like that. So really is this or death for her."

Despite your explanation she still seems upset, “I… know what you are saying, but Auriel said we could dive in another way maybe, Kagehana’s nature is to do this to people, but when you and Taka dove into each other it wasn’t like this.” Yuki’s eyes linger on the display, and she slowly backs up from the group “I just… can’t do…i’m sorry!” she shouts as she runs off out of the room and up the stairs.

“Yuki!” your group shouts.

"Aki, freeze the sorceress, I will go after Yuki."

Sorry about the inconvenience and I will announce on twitter and in this thread when I plan to run on Wednesday.

>When you find Yuki, hug and kiss her

"Yuki... I needed both Baba Yaga and Auriel help to deal with my own curses and people as good as them in magic are rare. Unlike with me; that man had time to work on the sorceress. Kagehana is the only choice I had that was both fast and effective enough. I know it hurts; I know she is in pain, but if we took too long that horrible man could just blow up her head to spite us."

>You take Yuki to a room and lock the door. "Yuki, is not normal for humans to learn magic so fast and to suddenly get special talents out of nowhere. And I have noticed... Adrian was normal until he started to hang with us, right?"

You pause for a moment. "Then he got that prediction ability and learned fire magic. After years of just being a slave boy. Don't you think is strange?"

>You push Yuki to bed and kiss her again.

"Is me. I am the cause. I don't know why, but my followers earn power quite fast. If it was just being one of Mother children then the others we have meet so far would have earned power fast too."

"Yuki... I think I am no longer human. I got this weird abilities, my lust is like a monster girl, I can command armies, beat monster generals and make even monster Lords follow my orders. Humans can't do that. So... I am sorry I changed. That I can't be that twelve year old girl you knew."

“Aki freeze her so she can’t hurt herself, i’ll be back!” You shout as you quickly dart out of the room after Yuki. She was faster than you remember cause when you ran out of the dungeon you couldn’t see her on the staircase upward. “Damnit Yuki, where did you go…” You run up the stairs and once you get up to the top you hear what seems to be fast footsteps down the hall. You didn’t take time to think and ran after them. The sound had you twisting and turning down the annoyingly windy castle. It wasn’t too long though till the sound led you to the door of the room you remember waking up in. You slowly open the door to find your best friend kneeling down and burying her head into a bed.

“Yuki…” You close the door, and after a quick thought coming to you, you lock it behind you. Yuki evidently hears you and responds with her voice muffled by the sheets, “Why do things have to be like this now? Are we to the point where we torture for what we want?”

You try to explain calmly, “Yuki... I needed both Baba Yaga and Auriel help to deal with my own curses and people as good as them in magic are rare. Unlike with me; that man had time to work on the sorceress. Kagehana is the only choice I had that was both fast and effective enough. I know it hurts; I know she is in pain, but if we took too long that horrible man could just blow up her head to spite us."


“I know you are right….” she admits, “But there was the temple, and maybe Shirabu with her demon rituals could help us instead of destroying the girl's mind.” “Yuki…” You slowly walk up behind her and kneel down for an embrace. You then thought of perhaps another way you could explain. Yuki, is not normal for humans to learn magic so fast and to suddenly get special talents out of nowhere. And I have noticed... Adrian was normal until he started to hang with us, right?" You pause for a moment, "Then he got that prediction ability and learned fire magic. After years of just being a slave boy. Don't you think is strange?" You turn Yuki around, and find that she had the formation of tears in her eyes as you press her against the bed and continue. "It’s me. I am the cause. I don't know why, but my followers earn power quite fast. If it was just being one of Mother children then the others we have meet so far would have earned power fast too."

“Everything here is strange, but that doesn’t mean you have to be, she cries out.“You keep saying your changing but you are changing far too much, you asked if I would love you no matter what you turned into but I guess it's just… too much for me right now.” her voice grew from loud to soft. "Yuki... I think I am no longer human. I got this weird abilities, my lust is like a monster girl, I can command armies, beat monster generals and make even monster Lord's follow my orders. Humans can't do that. So... I am sorry I changed. That I can't be that twelve year old girl you knew." You begin kissing her neck to show your affection.

“Is..is this all you want to do now? Admit your changing and use sex to solve your problems and emotional conflicts?” You continued to try and work her neck but she seems to be disregarding your approaches. You pause and look up at her, “Yuki?” Her face looked conflicted, sad, upset, confused all three of these words did not accurately describe the look she was giving you. “Please stop… I understand your lust is out of control at points, bur for now, please stop...”

"I am sorry. I... I sometimes think it would be easier if I was a monster girl, then acting like this... it would be normal, right? And Yuki, I... I have to make hard choices. Would you have even cared if you had not been there when I interrogated the sorceress? No, it would have skipped your mind. But... I care, not for everyone the same way but I care way too much. And if that means I have to make a person suffer to save their life then I will do it.

I am not torturing the sorceress for fun. Yes there were other options, but I picked the one I knew it was more likely to work and the fastest one because last time I didn't take curses seriously, I almost killed my little sister!"

You hug Yuki and cry "Being... being a leader means making hard choices. If... if you cannot accept that from me... maybe we should stay apart. You can stay with the harpies, just healing people and never have to fight again."

Her words cut into you, deeper than you thought they would and you begin to tear up. "I am sorry. I... I sometimes think it would be easier if I was a monster girl, then acting like this... it would be normal, right? And Yuki, I... I have to make hard choices. Would you have even cared if you had not been there when I interrogated the sorceress? No, it would have skipped your mind. But... I care, not for everyone the same way but I care way too much.

You hug Yuki and cry "Being... being a leader means making hard choices. If... if you cannot accept that from me... maybe we should stay apart. You can stay with the harpies, just healing people and never have to fight again."


Yuki stays silent for a bit after your display, but slowly begins to speak after thinking over your words carefully, “I… I don’t want to leave you.” She hugs you, “I understand the reason you do what you do just try not to go crazy about it. I know you… and yes you are changing… but in the direction and the speed of which you’re changing I can’t imagine it will have a happy ending.”


You mull over Yuki’s words and speak, but while still tightly clutching in your embrace, “I know… but for now its all I can do… I’ll try just please, I don’t want to hurt you, and if you ever, and I mean ever feel in danger because of me let me know. It is the absolute last thing I want.” After that you didn’t know what else to say so you let your emotions speak for themselves as tears continued to stream down your face.


You didn’t want to let go for a long while, but in the back of your mind you knew you still had to meet with Kagehana and Tharja. “Yuki, I am going to go back to the dungeon now, you don’t have to come if you don’t want to.” Yuki quietly says, “Okay…” You relieve your hold on her, “I love you.” you say as you kiss her lightly on the cheek before standing. “I love you too.” She says softly as she moves her body on top of the bed. Understanding her answer you slowly walk to the door way and leave. You are still conflicted on just who or even what you are now, but you shake your head to force the thought away while you still have other business to finish up.

>>862573

Walking back, into the dungeon you notice Tharja sprawled out and breathing heavily, and rapidly, nearing hyperventilation. Kagehana floated about her while your friends were about waiting for your return. “Is she okay?” Aki asks. “Yeah… she just needs some time I think.” you turn your attention to your little sister, “What did you learn?” “She’s apparently a fanatic who has a habbit of searching and anchoring on someone she can believe in. Once she latched onto That Man she was willing to do anything and everything for him.” “So she killed Shirabu’s parents then?” “Yeah she did, but the idea came actually from another man, a human with wild dirty blonde hair, that wore tight clothing.” You think, do you remember anyone like that… … … … The strange man from the mountain?! They work for the same guy so you supose it isn’t to far of a stretch. Still she did kill Shirabu’s parents no matter who had the original thought.


“Anything else Kagehana?” “Her mind and heart are broken at the moment, she is convinced she has been abandoned by her master and that she is to suffer forever because of this. The way she is now, it's unlikely she can do anything before finding someone to take her in…. Or kill her.”


>Tharja wants someone to believe in, why not I? Having a powerful sorceress can be useful

"Well, let's talk this with Shirabu, if she doesn't kill her, then I will give her to Mother... but..."

You think things over, about what you talked to Yuki.

"I am doing the right thing? She aparently was crazy even before she got hit with dark magic and she did kill Shirabu parents..."

You close your eyes a moment and then open then.

"I told Mother she could have her if she had not killed my little sister parents. Not only she killed them but she is crazy. Shibaru deserves her revenge and unlike with certain idiot that I got turned into a cute centauress, the offended party will not accept a lesser punishment."

"Let's go to tell Shibaru. If she had been brainwashed is one thing but she killed Shibaru parents because she wanted to. I won't accept excuses like love or being a fanatic to excuse murder. I owe to my little sister to give her some sort of closure, and that guy who almost killed me with a volcanic eruption is next!"

>>862672
This.

>>862672
>>862677

Based on what Kagehana has told you one things is certain, Tharja’s crazy. But crazed and brainwashed are two separate things but in this case it's distinguishment may be difficult.


You begin thinking out loud, "Well, let's talk this with Shirabu, if she doesn't kill her, then I will give her to Mother... but..."


You think things over, about what you talked to Yuki.

I owe to my little sister to give her some sort of closure, and that guy who almost killed me with a volcanic eruption is next!" you declare with a fist held in the air for added effect.


Your friends sat back and watched your monologue unfold, Taka chimes in, “So we are going to talk with Shirabu now? She is probably with Shiromitsu and Ryuga.” A snake takes the opportunity to interject, “kekekek, so you will just leave them then? I’m hurt, here you tortured the girl and I don’t even get a hello? Talk about favoritism.” Oh right, you were so focused on Tharja that you forgot Kakuri was also here. You say to him, “What do you want then?” “A chance to talk is all.” he replies with a smile. “Those three are bound to be dreadully angry at the situation, if not themsevles, why they could start another war right here! Not to mention them bing in such close proximity may mean assassinations would occur! As the proper loser I wish to ensure another war doesn’t break out on my lands, and not to mention helping you would make me look better.”


You blink in surprise, “for a snake he is being rather blunt and transparent. “So what exactly are you proposing?” “A deal of sorts, you ensure I don’t get executed or something equally ghastly and I use my skills to make sure the idiots don’t squabble amongst themselves.” “How?” “By any means! We both know that I have skills and intrigue required for the job of seccuring peace, and unless you decide to kill all but one of the lords that peace is in danger.” Well, he seemed to dodge the question a bit and you guess he just threw transparency out the window. Realistically you didn’t know what to think of his words. “We’ll see… for now i’ll talk with them about the situation as a whole.”

>>862888

With that you turned away from the cells and headed up the stairs back to the main floor of the castle. In the main halls you spot a kitsune guard and ask, “Do you know where the three lords may be?” “Ahhh,” the guard stumbles over his words as he goes over the events in his head, “Yeah… they should be in the main antechamber… yeah… that.” “Um… thanks…” You thank and wave off the rather awkward guard and head to the large chamber where you found the three lords sitting in a triangle addressing each other.


Ryuga appears to be leading the conversation, “Now that we have ended this nonsense we need to decide who will be the next Lord of Wa.” “And you motion yourself I assume?” Shiromitsu jabs. “As the woman who made all this possible then yes, yes I do. It's not as if the young lord disagrees.” The young lord in question, Shirabu, looked to be bored out of her mind, laying down on the floor scraping her sword on the guard.


You took the silence in anticipation for Shirabu’s response to jump in. “Hello everyone,” “Ohh you are awake? How fortuitous, now you can explain to them how your patronization of me as the center allowed for all this to be possible.” The dragon lord proudly declares. “Hahahaha,” Shiromitus laughs, “Do you honestly expect her to do that? Come now Ryuga, you should know her well enough by now.”

"The sorceress was the one who killed your parents. But the orders were given my a guy who works for the master of the badlands and she is crazy. She literally did everything she was told like a oivesick puppy. Do you want to get to kill her now?"

“I am sorry lords but I wish to talk to the Shirabu first, we have a matter of import to clear up. For now you should feel free to argue. Ryuga growled at your nonchalantness toward her declaration but directed her frustration at the kitsune lord. Shiromitsu seemed indifferent on the matter but he dealt with Ryuga wraith in strides. Shirabu on the other hand perked up at your entry, “Onee-chan! What is it?!” she says excited as she walks over to you. “Well you see, the sorceress that we capture, she killed your parents.”


“I SEE!” she yells as her eyes turn bright red, “Where may she be?!” “Wait, wait..” you pat her head to calm her down, “She was given orders to do it by the Master of the Accursed Lands on the mainland; and she is crazy. She acted the lovesick puppy and everything she was told to do.” She tilts her head, “So she killed my parents? But she wasn’t the one who planned it?” You confirm her thought with a nod. “hmmm, “ Shirabu thinks long and hard about your words. So hard that she is turning red and lightly pounds her head in frustration. “Fine! I want to talk to her, just me and her though. Thanks Onee-chan!” her expression changed entirely to cheer as she says goodbye and walks, assumedly, to the dungeons, dragging her sword on the ground. “Well, you told her, now you’ll just have to deal with whatever she decided. Probably a cleanup crew for a cell.


“-an’t just assume that people would be okay with that!” “Can’t we? I see no issue…”


You rejoin the squabble, “Lords, please, we should seriously discuss what is happening. “We are,” Ryuga confirms in an annoyed voice. They might have been but their talks don’t progress anywhere it seems. Guess you’ll have to interject.


>you should form a council, (including Kakuri)
>For a council (of just you three)
>Ryuga as lord
>Shiromitsu as lord
>Shirabu as lord
>Kakuri as lord
>Raiko as lord
>Write in


Please provide a brief reasoning for your choice. You do not need to do so for Raiko given the earlier conversations with Mother. No matter what you will need to roll for persuasion, but based on the persuasiveness on your argument I will assign different modifiers. I will extend voting time for this decision given its nature.

>>863079
>Raiko as lord

"The demons and dragons respect power and she has it more than anyone else around here. She is not clever but that's what the council of Lords will be for. And I am sure you two can just spin it the right way to your people. Something like Raiko still serves me with loyalty or I can easily manipulate that bird brain."

>>863112
This works.

>>863112
"Ok course Lord Shiromitsu, you should be aware that Raiko doesn't like you much and Lady Ryuga, you do know how stubborn can it be. Plus I will be staying a while until you two either get married or things get calm enough. And I do want to expend some time with Shirabu. Also about Kakuri... what's that guy even doing as a Lord? He should be leading an assassination squad instead. Doesn't he have a little sister, a cousin or something? Because not only his arrogance is unberable, he seems to think that just because he has the power to kill anyone that means anything to someone like the Master who just uses people at disposable pawns. Oh and he seemed to think the threat of death was enough to control a fanatic. Fanatics die for their beliefs! Ah fuck, is that sake?"

You serve yourself some sake, and try to enjoy it.
