"You're such a good girl" I chuckle as I walk forward, giving my demon tooth blade a few swings as I do "But just rest, Master can handle herself after all"

Erret just mumbles to herself tiredly as I walk forward and come face to face with one of the mostly rotted corpses. Pus, blood and some kind of black oil....probably taint literally oozing out of its milky white eyes. And its skin....its skin is like leather, but it doesn't look rough. It looks slimy and like it'd tear from a strong wind. And its teeth....oh right I sharpened them didn't eye. Christ was this one of the ones I gave poison damage.

Holding my shield arm in front of my face, the zombie begins to shuffle away from me....no the poison ones were down by the lake ahead of here weren't they?

Okay, you can do this Sadie....well I guess itsa Belua now since only like four people know my old name and two of them are kind of weird cunts. Well I can do this, I've seen worse already just at that farm. The only thing really disturbing here is the fucking smell coming off of these things and if I ignore that they're...still kinda of scary to look at but I have magic and a cool sword so I have nothing to be scared of them but. Well still they're not a pretty sight. Stepping over the open hand symbol of the crown, the zombie turns to me as its able to sense me now that I'm standing in the same disrespected ground as it is.

it lifts its hands, metal sewn and bolted onto its bones....my old handwork in griefing. With a low, throaty growl its mouth opens up. Its chewed off tongue waggles around as my heart jumps from that noise.

okay that was pretty fucking spooky. Okay which of the gods hates undead...among the seven it'd have to be the maiden and crone.

"Crone, grab this trapped soul and take him to his just reward" I say, raising my shield and sword as it stumbles reward "Or give me the strength to strike its rotting body down"

not sure if that worked, didn't sound proper and I'm not sure how to pray at all to be honest. But fuck it, it was just an in case kind of thing wasn't it? Not hesitating at all, feeling even more confident than I usually do, I swing aiming for its neck or the middle of its head.

*Waaa-CHUNK*

It stops as I nearly cut its head into two parts, and tries to grab my hand before the black veins pulsing under its paper thin skin begin to drain away as the light shimmering in its eyes vanishes away. The tainted blood flows out of its wound and disintegrates like something is just pulling it away from me.

Them all hell breaks lose as the zombie falls, looking almost normal with a small smile on its dried and chapped lips. A ghost of some kind shrieks and two zombies begin running up to me, as the zombies corpses starts spitting out fireworks....hehehe, love celebrate death so much!

But why did I put runners here again? and....what just happened. did my demon sword do that or did the crone actually AH FUCK IT FIGHT TIME YAHOO!

The zombies sprint to me, dragging their knuckles on the ground as the ghost flies at me, glowing blue.

Alright so it has magic, now lets do this. Flick my sword by my ears, my headphones appear

Who prayed for Rain?

But can't get distracted by that now! bout to have my throat ripped out by two zombies and there's a ghost that's going to rip out a piece of my soul or cast some kind of ice spell. Honestly I'm more worried about the later. Raising up my shield, I look at the runes carved in the back and quickly think up the chant that goes to lighting orb along with the exact kind of thoughts I've found to let me cast this now that its real. The air starts smelling like ozone as lightning flies from my male into my golden shield. The seven marks of the seven glow blue as I raise up my shield and stylishly tip my top hat. Within a second that lightning and glow turn into a ball of plasma and fuck you. taking a step back, I pull my shield arm back and lob the ball of lighting like thor's hammer at the ghost's bitch face, as the black hair covering her eyes begins to raise from the static even though she's incorporeal.

I think I see her gasping in surprise before the ball hits her square in the jaw.
-
20+2= 22= crit success

Pulling my shield in front of me, I smirk and adjust my top hat as the air gets charged with lightning. The ghosts screams, a lot of its body burning away as arcs of lighting connect to the zombies from where I toss my lighting between them. AND THEY FREEZE UP FOR A SECOND, THEIR ROTTING MUSCLES SEIZING UP LIKE THEY'RE HAVING A SEIZURE!

And like that, my smile turns into a grin. I'm stomp these corpses...and I think I may have some holy help? Hehehe Karma really is bullshit huh?

She's making heads roll that's for sure

"Erret" I say, giggling as I pull my sword back like a weeb "bet I can take both their heads in one slice"

"of course you can! you're skilled in magic and swordplay my wonderful master" She cheers happily as I step up casually and swipe my blade down in one smooth motion, as hard as I can, trying my best to not hit their shoulder blades. Leaning into the blow, I can see the edge of my blade draining some light out of them and

*KRrrrsh*

I chop through their rotten spines like butter, and smile a bit more as their black blood burns with dark flames, silhouettes pulling out of them as the spray that could put me in Poor erret's position burns away with the fireworks as the girl herself cheers as excitedly as she can manage.

licking my lips, I look around for my next target, my heart thumping as the ghost yells at me "LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE" it yells as I notice something else behind the three other zombies.

Is that a...is that a fucking.

"A DIRE " Erret yells "It must've been drawn here from the rotting flesh!"

"Oh, yeah" I say nodding, scratching my neck, i didn't make this one "Well this makes things a little exciting huh? Come on then, just another rotter to put down"

"GET AWAY FROM MY MEALS INTERLOPER" it shrieks from its drooping, pig like snout, the fur on its back rusty brown with some moss in it.

"My family....who has woken them..." another ghost whimpers as the one I zapped continues shrieking curse at me

"Oh" I say, shaking my mind out of game terms for a second to realize exactly how scary a dire is in reality since I can smell the blood wafting off of that thing.....and the bones its wearing as armor or trophies, some of those skulls look to small to be from adults of any race "So that's why the bandits didn't come here"

"Rotting flesh, fresh meat, both are tasty" the half boar faced man says licking his lip "Age it like wine...better...beast kin, oh such a delicacy...magic kin *oink oink* you are a treat interloper"

"I will make you feel the pain of my son! cut down after he was bound to flesh again! they weren't hurting a soul YOU BRUTE!" the ghost lady yells at me

"Who defile these graves!?" another groans

"they didn't deserve this hell"

"Who would wield such foul magics in such a petty way"

"Stay the tainted hells away from my master" Erret hisses, sounding inhuman as she walks as close as she can stomach to the silver fense line "Go back to your den beast!"

"We can share, youngin, human flesh is so tasty...and beast kin is better" the dire says, licking its human lips as it starts to slowly approach me, using the zombies as shield "With a side of rotting meat...oh oh"

"So you've eaten some bandits to then?" I ask

"And villagers" it says smugly, its bare chest covered in scars and some kind of greases "Travelers to, this place is the perfect hunting ground"

"Oh certainly" I say, turning back to the ghost i've pissed off as frost begins to creep up my back "So its fair to say you ate some of the people here to?"

"Ah, are you of the finer taste as well" the dire ask with an oiking laugh, its gorrilla like arms lifting up as it does so "AND OF COURSE I DID, what was left of them at least oink oink"

"And now your eating the ones you didn't after someone turned them into puppets?" I ask tilting my head towards the ghost as the creeping ice stops at my pony tail...brrr "isn't that a little lazy"

"hnnnr, village and new meat started to light firers...you know how it is, I think you're a read one with your little pet yeah? want to join in, I won't eat ya if you share a meal with me' it says with a wide grin "So hard to find friends with understanding these days"

"SO why in the tainted hells are you attacking me, I was just trying to free your family and you attack ME! instead of the sick fuck who ate some of you and them? did death rot your brains? You idiots are hurting your friend!" I say, pouting like that ice managed to get through my robes...thankfully the ghost listened to what me and the dire were saying.

the ghost girl starts glowing again, and the four others turn their heads to lord mcfuckhuge eat a bitch as his smile fades.

"Cheater" it hisses as the ghosts all scream at it the same single word

"YOU!" the yell, as they fly at it like a bunch of pissed off pigeons 'YOU DARE TO RETURN! YOU DARE EAT OUR TRAPPED FAMILY!"

and mum said I was wasting my time trolling people.

"I'll swallow you down to!' the dire roars, ripping up a headstone to use as a club as the zombies close in on me. I just smirk and tip my hat to the dire

"good luck with that, and enjoy your revenge...may the crone lead you back to the next life as well...I guess" I cackle as I flip my sword around, now how to deal with these jackasses? think my lightning orb is about to go as well

Wait, change it to dandelion seeds. A little more nicer, and they grow nice flowers.

"See erret? You worry to much?" I say, smiling as I look back to her to see her standing inside of the gate with a serious look on her face

"Dires are dangerous beasts" She says, never taking her eyes off the one in or company "even more so ones with some brain left in their heads, it was using the undead as a shield"

"Which is most disrespectful, I've been trying to cleanly sever the heads but the first one moved when I swung" I say as I turn back around to see the three other zombies right behind "so who will be the first to be freed? You....handsome man?"

I grit my teeth as that ugly son of a bitch goes right for my throat. Thank god these things are easier to put down now....must've rotten since I've left them here. Oh and I probably should change that setting on celebrate death, don't want to piss off anymore ghosts with this by turning their trapped friends into fire crackers.

I frown and pull my arms to my chest and curl up just a little bit as the zombies begin to bite at me. And then break their rotted teeth off on my scales as I coil my tail around my legs incase they decide to bite there as well. No instead they try to bite harder and dig their metal claws deeper in me to my bones. And I can see these were two of the ones I gave metal dentures as they raise up and begin to aim for my neck. Pressing my shield into one's jaw I try to pry the other off. MY HEAD GETS LANKED BACK AS ONE OF THEM GRABS MY PONY TAIL ROUGHLY. I see the grey sky and the rotted and rusted teeth off the zombies as it goes to bite my neck out as Erret yells and cries out.

I move to stab it through the jaw, trying my best not to panic even though it feels like my heart is about to stop from surprise when suddenly, like they were toys grabbed by a giant kid. the two zombies get lifted off the ground and me and tossed back

Even if it wouldn't have ended your or break your skin, I will aid you who protects my charges and does her best to keep them from my hands and in my sisters. You have led those stolen and enslaved souls to my arms twice now....and your words reach my ears this day."

I...I'm scared. is this actually happening what the hell is going on.

"hm hm hm, all alive fear my voice. But the tainted no longer hear my call. You have served the faith well lately, and I heard your prayers in my service. So, I will see if you're destined for more.

Ah...ah alright, I think god...a god just spoke to me but...well that's something that can happen on Da'ta and its not like I'm the first! still that's this is a little much isn't? I just cut down some undead and suddenly death herself speaks to me? I know I haven't been a good girl, and that really isn't all that impressive, like this is a little disappointing isn't it? Like off the top of my head i can count the number of people the nameless seven spoke to directly on my fingers and"

"Calm yourself, you are standing in my church and have brought several stolen souls back to my hands....though in the past you had prayed to me for life....think of this as a payment for my silence when you were a child. When dires ate your family and you hid beneath your bed crying....or when your father was taken from cancer"

Okay okay I get it, I get it! You know I'm not normal here and can see what I did! so you are pretty god like and I am not going to bitch in my head just in case you decide to strike me down or something

"I do not take those who aren't ready" the wind says as it finally passes, and erret runs up to my side and touch my neck

"Ha, not scratched at all" She sighs in relief "you really are strong to throw off those two so easily, Lady Belua"

I just nod, still a little disturbed I just had a chat in my head with the closest this world has to the grim reaper besides said god's own right hand angel and.....ah crap I mean if I was in lore I'm pretty sure I'd be called a mary sue for what just happened..and that's kind of pissing me off.

Were some zombies for me to take that anger out on, now there's just a dire, eating their flesh as he bats away the ghosts like plastic bags, crunching bones and slurping down rotten meat as he uses the zombies like gogurt. Well at least he's a big target, easy to vent all my rage and well...my honest to god fear from what just happened. besides god told me to kill him so, I will so I don't piss her or her other half off. Cause just her knowing who I really...was? is disturbing from the implications of what she could see

"and the last thing I want to do is suffer penance for something I technically didn't do" I mumble, thinking out loud and blushing as erret looks at me

"master? what did you say?" she ask curiouslu

"Maybe she was offering to cook herself for us?" the dire says, stomping towards me

"Cripes no you damned idiot, I'm going to shove this freezing thing in your heart or ass if you don't...." I growl, angrily as the dire steps back like he's scared or insulted I'd do such a thing to him

"Master? I take it we will slaughter this beast now? eaters of dead are always such foul things" Erret sighs shaking her head as she leans against her scythe "and his attitude towards you is infuriating....and he's kinda of scary to look at. So we are going to kill it now? I don't enjoy its presence at all"

"Well Erret" I say with a wide smile as I touch her on the shoulder and try to sound as respectful as I can in case I am being listened to right now "We have some divine judgement to met out....Gott Mit uns as they say"

"Gott mit uns?" She asks, frowning as I sigh and shrug

"Means god is with us in Razlithurian or....some other language from across the sea, can't remember which" I say quickly before the dire cuts in with an oink as it munches on whats left off one of the zombies, its belly already distended with food

"Why listen to a zealot like her, she'll burna ya eventually, why not help me eat her and" The dire says, making Erret glare at him as I frown and turn to him, good thing I had a burn ready since he last shut up. And I think its pretty fire.

"Oh just shut up already" I groan in such a dramatic way "did your inbred momma drop you on your head or are you just to autisitc to read the mood"

I lean close to the guy, and god he smells like rotten cheese and death

"Huuh?" I say, tapping him with the blunt side of my sword

"He may be, dires almost always become such due to desires they already have instead of desperation" Erret says coldly as the dire's piggy black eyes light up with veins as he snarls

"I'll devour both of you!' he shrieks, oinking as he tries to bat me away, and I flip my sword around, a ghostly blue light clinging to it

the dire has been enraged!

"tch, you're just a beast dealing with a trained war magus and a wielder of necromancy. And you're acting high and might....you're going to die" I say, venomously as Erret steps back and raises her scythe

And now I'm about to be hit by a pissed off gorrila pig man, but I have a sword with magic loaned to me from one of the seven themselves in my hand right here making my entire arm numb as hell. And if its magic than I might have some control over it at least as much as tossing a molotov or a grenade....and it may blow my hand or entire fucking arm off if I'm not careful with it. But I've never been careful...ever! so fuck it! Lets put this bitch on ice! Grinning wickedly I point my freezing blade at him and focus on...I don't know, I guess the cold. I try to draw it out or shake it up like I do with the lightning orb and.

*BRRRRM* A bright blue beam fires out of the blade, smacking the dire right in the chest with a loud cracking sound, icicles forming and stabbing into its body and arm as the cold spreads to it quicker than I expected, encasing...its....entire arm that its about to hit me with in blood red ice as its blood is drained into the ice.

"Oh fuck me"I manage to say as I get smacked and thrown off the ground like a truck just hit me and godamn does it hurt. Thankfully that wasn't as hard as it could hit since the ice slowed it down and

*CRACK*

"uuurgh" I groan weakly as all the air in my lungs get forced out....I just hit a tombstone and broke it with my back

"MASTER" Erret yells out

"YOU FIRS" the dire says before it suddenly goes quite "huh why ain't I?"

I look up, opening my eyes as I put a hand on my aching back...the ice has spread to its leg and frozen it where it stands. And its arms aren't long enough to grab erret.

Seems Sadie really is a spiteful bitch huh?

Rubbing my back for a second longer, I look at the dire as it tries to rip the gravestone right out of the ground...but its having a bit of trouble this time. I sigh in relief as the cold washes away that dull, but deep pain and then serious up as I hobble my way up to the dire

"Erret, Help me disARM this bastard" I hiss as the dire continues digging at the ground with it one good arm

"Gladly" She says, raising her scythe up into the air as I step closer, the dire glaring at my as I line up my swing "OH I GET IT"

"I'll suck on your bones" the monster hisses as as it begins to rip the tombstone out of the ground

"Sure you will" I say dully as Erret catches his armpit with her scythe, giving me the perfect place to cut right through.

And that I do, the sword phasing through the block of ice to let me cut it off cleanly, and more ice grows from it as the tree trunk size arm falls to the ground like a sack of shit.

The dire squeals and moves its good arm to smash me with its new club.

On instincts I didn't now I had, I raise my shield up as the moss covered stone comes swinging for my head. I hear a loud crack, and bite my tongue as I feel my shield shaking as the dire smacks it one more time with the giant rock, breaking it and denting my shield as my bones shiver in my arm.

Erret swings her scythe to the side and catches the far end of her blade on his unfrozen side, black smoke pouring down its haft to her

The dire screams like a wild animal, which it is and begins to try and claw at me desperatly, frothing at its mouth and drooling as the ice crawls up to its neck and begins to creep towards its other side.

It lunges at me, trying to bite my head off!

No one wants to piss off best girl it seems

I shove my shield arm forward, trying to get it to bite into the metal, but instead it bites earlier and digs its disjointed and yellow teeth and dog like fangs into my wrist, nearly swallowing up my arm entirely with its drooling mouth. I feel my eyes go wide as its teeth grind against my bones and its begins to bite harder and harder as the ice continues to spread up one half of its face and whimper. Then I cry out in pain clutching at my hand as blood begins to soak down my sleeve.

Erret's eyes suddenly clear as two black shadows fill them, turning them completely black as the dire tries to fucking swallow my arm without even chewing my hand off!

That was a mistake. I try to smile but can't as Erret moves like a living shadow and burries her scythe deep into the things neck. It gurgles and tries to keep chewing, swinging its arm at erret.

The tainted girl turns, her eyes looking like those wraith things from lord of the wings as they shadowed from her eyes spread to her arms, she doesn't make a noise beside an annoyed grunt

Sorry bit busy making dinner

Dammit, I can't move to stop that! and I'm in too much pain to focus a spell in my mind. She's going to get hit by a fist that's a little bigger than her body and stabbed full of holes with the claws that are stuck on it! and I can't do anything to stop it because my hand is stuck in this fuckers bear trap like mouth. This isn't fair! Erret was just trying to keep me safe dammit, I know I haven't known her for long but I like her dammit! And I've also known her for most her life from her perspective...and it feels the same for me now! and I don't know why! but she's loyal to me and its my job to protect her, it has been! I am not letting her get turned into jelly. I don't care if I have to lose my arm, just something anything let me protect her! she's a good girl serving a bitch like me! Karma is bullshit if she gets hurt because of it!

"dammit, dammit!" I yell as I struggle to do anything " help her! Erret doesn't deserve this dammit! HIT ME INSTEAD YOU BIG FUCKING CUNT"

Without thinking I toss the sword and nearly scream a very nasty word at myself, before I hear a giggle and cold grasp around my stomach like I'm being hugged. My yell turns to a breathless scream as ice forms from my hand down to my elbow, turning red for a moment as it directs my blood into the sword as it flies, feeding it with my own life as I try not to freak out over what I think is happening.

"so selfless, to save another with no hesitation....a rare quality" a soft, butter smooth voice says
"Love so deep for one so damned" the crones cracking, hollow and plain cold voice sighs on the wind
"The trait of a mother" the soft voice says
"The fury of a killer" the crone laughs
"I will give you one more boon today" they say as one

The air itself shrieks as all smell, movement and any other sign of life or death dies out, leaving only the crackling as blocks of ice form in the air, a red streak following the demon fang saber as it slices through the air with a whistling sound. It hits the dire's arm with a smooth sound like a dying man last breath, a content and happy sigh like my dad gave when he stopped fighting years ago. And then it turns into a loud crackling roar, like a bear or something getting stabbed in the balls! And with that, the dire is frozen entirely except for its head. It can't move its lower jaw as Ice starts to creep up its arm.

"master?" Erret asks as I pull my hand from the dire's mouth and hold my now frozen arm, wincing in pain as it begins to melt, showing the holes that were left in it "MASTER YOUR HURT! WHAT DID YOU DO!"

She rush to my side and gingerly grabs my arms with her gloved hands as it shakes and I try not to cry from the stinging pain.

"No no, I should've been hurt! I'm unclean! you shouldn't have protected me! you need to be saved not me! You shouldn't have given your blood for one as dirty as mine! you were already hurt so badly and you still rushed to protect the unworthy me!:" erret cries, ink black tears flowing down her pale white cheeks"YOU IDIOT! You shouldn't have done that! you're already hurt and you gave more of yourself to save me, you did this to yourself for me, I...I shouldn't...no one should harm themselves to protect me, even one as kind as you! I am tainted and you gave your arm and blood to keep me from harm...but I didn't, you're so torn up and bleeding so much but you still broke yourself further to save a small pathetic cursed thing like me"

She tries to speak but only blubbers and speaks in tongues as more tears drip down her chin and onto the frozen over dirt.

I frown and pull her in with my slightly less fucked up arm as she continues crying and wailing while she tries to speak and put herself down some more. She freezes up and looks up at me, her eyes filled with stars. I smile as I look down at her and pat her on her back.

"its okay, I just thought with all how much you've been protecting me it was only fair to repay the favor" I say as softly and as kindly as I can "Besides, what kind of master would I be if I let my beloved servant get hurt so easily" She buries her head in my chest, resting it against my steaming cold breast plate, whimpering and trying to speak again

"it wasn't your fault, this was my choice like the first time I saved you. you can't blame yourself" I say, feeling my heart hurt as I hold her close nearly crying myself "You really can't, you couldn't have changed anything here, I fucked myself up today. besides"

I lift her head up so she'll look me in my eyes as I say this, feeling like I have to say these words

"you've been through enough already" I say sweetly as her lip trembles and she hugs me back. The dire groans angrily and I look up at it "oh, right you. nearly forgot. Can you wait to die for a few seconds you bastard"

it tries to free itself, and I turn back to Erret and ruffle her hair, sighing as she sobs repeating sorry over and over again

"such a good girl"

We stay like this for awhile, hugging in a graveyard filled with corpses and ice and I don't know why but as I'm holding her all the pain begins to ease and just fade away. Maybe I'm just getting used to it all which I'm not complaining about, it was nearly toture what I was feeling just a few seconds ago. And it really is nice to get the chance to have a hug after being stuck in a world like Da'ta. Might not be very affectionate, especially not for the physical kind but still giving a hug is nice and dammit Erret is one of the few people who deserves a hug from me. It really warms me up I can't even feel the cold anymore, but she's still shivering and....wait did they ice just move under our feet. I look up and manage to catch it creeping away and notice my hands glowing with the same light my sword was. have to bite my tongue so I don't shout FUCK in surprise. Huh, guess some of the crones breath decided to stick around. Can't help smirk at the thought

"Master" erret says letting go of me as she turns emotionlessly to the dire, her face contorting with a cold kind of rage "shall we end the wretch"

"Of course" I say with a smile as the dire shakes with oh so impotent rage.

"Enjoy it Erret, I can tell this guy really pissed you off, so vent a little?" I say pushing her forward as she holds onto her scythe and looks back at me as the dire does the same but much angrier.

"What? but I thought you'd want to" She begins to say before I shake my head

"Trust me, he made you alot madder than he did me" I say smiling, drawing my thumb over my neck "So why don't you take his head, and see if there's a bounty on it?"

"Oh....I see" She says, her black veins showing as her eyes become darker than black like...its cliche, but they look like the abyss. And with that she puts the rusted blade of her scythe behind its neck and tries to pull it through. It doesn't work because she's pretty short and small. So instead she grabs onto the scythe blade itself and use her weight to slowly decapitate the dire as she hangs around its next. The head rolls past her, gnashing its teeth at her spitefully for a few second before it finally dies.

"That did feel good" She says under her breath bowing slightly "thank you for this revenge, Lady Belua"

"Don't mention it" I say as I walk past her and dip my hand which isn't bleeding because this of fucker and begin to look through the pockets on his belt "URGH!"

Yep, rotten flesh, chewed up bones and pieces of skin and vials of coagulated blood and what looks like concentrated taint. Not touching ANY of that shit....but it looks like there's some weapons or something stuck in its skin....if I dig those out I may be able to get a new weapon or some trash to sell. Not to mention its fur would make some nice armor or.

There's a cracking sound as I touch its scarred, greasy chest. It freezes instantly and solid, getting covered by a thick layer of ice that's probably more than skin deep now....its like three inches thick. I touch it again, and suddenly the ground around it freezes, and so do the zombies....and most of the graveyard. Pulling my hand back I wiggle my fingers, and it starts to snow. Then touch my chest and...yep, not frozen

"beautiful" Erret says happily as she smiles "Also smart! you've frozen all the tainted things in one fell swoop! and preserved the graveyard as well! You're really amazing! you know that, my master?"

"Ergh, yeah I meant to do that" I say as Erret frowns

"oh, well happy mistake then" She says cheerfully, and suddenly and Idea....I can freeze things or make ice now. or just turn places into winter wonderlands with snow. And I'm a little bored and don't feel like walking.....and Carolton is downhill from here.

A grin creaks over my face as I start to plan out how to sled the dire's corpse back to town without bleeding everywhere...and so I don't make my wounds worse before I can get so healing.

"Master? You have that mad look in your eyes again' Erret whimpers as I nod

"I know, I know" I say as I start to drag the corpse to the open gate "Now come on, help me move this thing"

"What are you doing with its corpse?!" She yells, and I just laugh madly

the Mayor of carolton sat behind his desk, snuffling like a pig as he rubbed his dripping snout, his swine like ears hanging sadly as his balding head glinted in the sunlight from the window behind him. Sat in front of him was a sad root soup with no lard, meat, and the saddest potatoes he had ever seen. It was accompanied by some purified, unflavored water not even alcoholic in the slightest. the bowl was as small as his normal spoon! and there was only one course! this penance he was forced into to keep his position was torture....maybe he should've ran before the townsfolk had learned he had kept the rising dangers around them a secret....father would've let him back home and they would've thought him dead so there was no harm in it was

The door swung open, the mayor covering his head with his flabby arms as he oinked in a panic. THE PEASANTS THEY WERE HERE TO ROAST HIM FOR HIS CRIMES.

There was silence, and he peeked through his fingers when he heard one voice laughing

"Sir" one of the guards said, trying not to laugh at the fat beast kin

"Ah...ah you interupt my lunch" the mayor said, trying to save face as he adjusted his silk bib "W...what requires my attention"

"oh the dire that's been hunting around here's in town" the guard said so calmly he must've gone mad

the mayor leaped out of his chair as his heart dropped out of his pants

"WHAT!! Lock the doors! send it food! What are you doing so calm it'll" He yells as the guard smirked "what...what's exactly going on"

"Oh, Cornibus' apprentice, the "saint" Pangolynn came riding it's frozen corpse with her little monster by her side. She's torn up but" the guard trailed on, blushing "Well she tore its damn arm off and its heads gone, most men her age would've been minced meat. Guess cornibus didn't exagerate her yeah"

"Oh that's wonderfull, we'll have a public thanking of her, a ceremony and give her any medical attention she requires...so long as her beast stays ways during the celebratory feast which will have two...no three...WAIT FOUR WHOLE PIGS AND" the mayor yells, slobbering over himself

"Sir, she's asking for a reward" the guard said dully

"NOOO, LOCK THE DOORS..." the mayor wailed

He's going to the dire, isn't he?

it was a strange day....well week. The player known as Blackinor had drank himself into a stupor after praying to every god he knew, before passing out before he could ask the several or whatever they worshiped in this world to take him home to his family. he was woken from his dream that this all was just a bad dream and he could stop acting like a boisterous idiot, when he was brought back to reality by a loud crash and realized he was still in fanatic hell. And since he was the first to be up and out of the inn besides the kids who stayed up discussing how to live in this fantasy like they'd survive out in the wild. He saw something that made him spit out his...coffee? whatever it was, it tasted terrible.

Belua, that girl who took him to that silent hill fucking hellscape two days again was standing on a giant ogre or something with her goth pet standing next to her holding an ugly as hell head. She looked like she was tossed into a meat grinded, but was smiling and covered in snow and frost even though it was a clear day.

it took him a second to realize she had just road the big monster through the wooden wall of the town like a snowboard. And most of the town was out coming to see what was going on

"hey Black" I say waving at the familiar face as I sit on the dire's empty neck "How you doing"

He just stares, holding a cup of...something black. the guard next to me stands still, trying to not offend Me I think, or maybe he thinks Erret can smell his fear. I lean closer to him before I realize all that blood I lost is making me a bit loopy

"Where's the pig mayor" I groan as I lean backwards

'he...he should here any minute" Guard number three says, mumbling something under his breath. I smile, and wave my sword in the air as the townsfolk start to gather around in stunned silence.

they don't say a word, I think it may be because they're in awe of how badass I looked sliding in here like sub zero or santa clause on his murdersled. Bursting through the wall like that...koolaid guy.
Erret grabs my hand like she's checking for my pulse or something.

Slowly the crowd parts and I see old mr bacon being pushed forward

"Ah...ah yes, Miss Pangolynn" he says "you have faithfully served the seven and our town again, AND"

He yelps as one of the guards poke his fat ass hard

"and' he grumbles rubbing it "we are prepared to reward you with any healing you require and uh...the bounty that was put on The former Mr Pensworth....200 gold pieces and his estate if you wish it....though it is basically a ruin now and"

Well, as soon as we get knighthood, we could start up a nice amount of soliders without being hassled . Or just have a few players and townies pledged to be our savants and guards for now.

>>2074677
Go to the mansion first, there might be something good there.

"Well" I say, rocking my head back and forth like a ticking clock...one of the old pre digital ones "before I accept this generous reward, I should tell you there's some more trouble in the forest"

The smiles on the crowd fall and vanish as they all get sterns serious looks. Besides Piggy and Black who look like I kicked their baby out of their cribs, and a few players who look really excited about this undefined danger I've just mentioned.

"See, Me and Erret were wandering around looking for the walking dead, and found some living folk in an old ruin. Think they're bandits with how they're dressed and decorated the place" I say, scratching my face as the mayor's mouth widens as I grin and chuckle "but they didn't look ready to attack"

the whole town turns to him as he stammers, and slaps his own face and meekly asks "Will you deal with them if that isn't too much to"

"Eh, later, after a shopping spree...a nap, and only after I've seen that estate you mentioned" I say as the world suddenly starts falling

Belua has passed out!\

Everything is sore, and the air is too hot. I groan and move to turn on the ac of my room, and end up grabbing a head full of hair. I shuffle my hand around and realize I am not in my room or sadie body. Nope, I am grabbing Erret's head as she peacefully naps by my bed side which is in.....the town church? I guess i'm right since there's a few women and men praying around and a guy in a mix of scrubs and priests robe walking up to me with a bowl of water and a small vial of silver.

"Ah, so you awaken" He says softly "the crone has left you be it seems....it also appears any trace ammounts of taint left in your blood were purged...not enough to do to you what happened to your companion, worry not"

he says all that in such a warm, sweet yet distant way, like he practiced and said it so many times before.

"Still, impressive you lived through such injuries" he says nodding as he walks away "so you may take your leave, the mayor paid for your treatment though it was free for you before anyways....and keep the tainted away from any water source or open would before you go, if you will"

I frown, and sit up as Errets head falls to the side and she wakes up with a shock

"AH, master. You're well again' She says so happily like she just won the lottery.

I smile, and nod.

Bugging Cornibus for mediocre loot would get us 10 lashes or something. We could just leave it outside and defrost it with ice lenses and fire later.

>>2074731
>>2074723
I'm pretty sure this is essentially the same thing as praying just with an added tithe

>>2074742
Going beyond gratitude to virtual gods is too much for me at the moment. And not enough people voted for tithe.

"I'm so glad" She says, smiling happily as I stand up, before she covers her face and frowns again, hiding her face and stepping as far as she can from the various holy symbols hanging above the bed like wind chimes "So...so can we leave here now? My blood is trying to crawl out of me and is starting to burn....just being here is making my skin crawl you see, master"

"Well you can wait outside for me if you want, there's still a few things I need to do in here" I say happily as she lowers her head

"then I will stay by your side" She forces herself to say. I frown and point at the door leading out

"Erret out" I say sternly as she sighs and nods

"As you wish, Lady belua" She says, dragging her feet to leave the place that is physically hurting her. Standing up I look around the other beds around me, most of the people here with me look like they're sleeping or to ill to get up...most of them are really young or old. Though there's a guard or two and three people who look like they're probably players like me. But I don't recognize them and they're out cold and as funny as it'd be, it'd be a real dick move to wake them up right now since they look pretty trashed. Eh, I'll check in on them later but....first I need to pay respects. I mean I'm not religious but basically everyone here is. Need to keep up appearances, and...well I do owe the maiden and crone for helping me and letting me save Erret like that. AND for indirectly giving me these kick ass Ice magic. No one had this power in the game, I know that for damn sure! Yeah feels great being unique....and fuck anyone who says that'd make me a mary sue. Besides not like Cyromancy is new, just wasn't for players. That one knight of the seven had it after all....and a few witch mobs I think. Shrugging I take my mind off the old game, and walk over to the the statue in the corner. Its made of a polished, oiled white wood on one side carved into the shape over a beautiful woman a bit older than me with fine silk and pearls left over her as well as some flowers allowed to grow out of her. The other half is made from old wood, dried and covered in dust, rusted iron set in the shape of an old cloak, covering the bent over old hag. The two faced twin god. There's a pool in front of it, filled one side with water and the other with.....well more water. Kneeling in front of it, I nearly pray like you would normally. then remember Toladarian's do it differently. Holding up two fingers on both hands....I think this his how you pray to the maiden/crone. But I'm sure they'll get the message for that

Lowering my head, I dip my fingers in the water, both sides of it.

"thank you for what you did back there, I'm not sure what else to say so....just thanks. For helping me and giving me that push for erret" I start to stand, then look around and realize no one is around to give me lip or a weird look and kneel back down quickly "and for those kick ass ice power"

I'm hoping we get along with the librarian though, assuming we can get access to her tomes of arcane magics.

Giving a thumbs up to no one like an idiot, I walk out the church blushing as I nearly walk past erret, who's standing in the shadows of the archway

"So....where to next?" she asks excitedly

Gotta make sure boss hogg didn't eat it. Probably.

"Don't know. Probably lunch" I say picking my coin purse out of my infinite back pack....seems Erret already put our reward into it....well I should give her half of it for all she did in earning it "But first, here you go"

She holds her hands out on habit and frowns in confusion as I hand her a sold hundred of the gold piece I had in my bag. She frowns a bit deeper as she stares at them and then looks up at me.

"I don't understand, this is your reward" She says slowly as I smile

"and that's your cut, now come on" I say as i turn down the street and try to figure out which store actually has food besides the inn

"I can't accept this" She says, sounding shocked as she pushes her hands to me

"Of course you can, you earned it, now lets find some lunch okay?" I say, patting her shoulder as I walk past her "I'm think sandwiches...or maybe a pie"

"But serving you is enough" She says sadly as I laugh

"and I'm giving you that to hold onto" I say, grinning as I walk by her "don't worry about it you deserve it"

"as you wish" She mumbles, stuffing them into her robes and following behind me like a guilty dog...AH there, a pie shop

there's a fat man outside putting up an open sign, a well groomed mustache sitting on his face.

"Ah, you killed that dire yeah?" He says, shivering as I wistle to get his attention "heh, that man...that monster cause me a bit of grief so....for today you can have a few pastries on me yeah? Don't worry I am just feeling generous for the good you've done today?

"Got any blueberry or meat pies?' I ask "or....you know my regular if I have one"

"Ah, so a honeybee and apple?" he asks as my stomach turns from the name "Fried and basted with butter....that's what you got when your master sent you, yes?'

"How could I forget" I say through my teeth as i look to Erret "and you"

"mmm" She grunts, trying not to look at the man

"Blueberry and cherry I think" he says as he begins to open his well worn door with a pie cut into it for a window "Oh, and some important looking woman was asking around for you....she was heading for your masters tower I think. Sounded important"

"oh?" I ask with my trade mark smile.

What do I do?

Next time will be buying gear and visit ing mystery lady.

"Well it can wait, I'm too hungry to have to deal with anything important" I say as I sit down at one of the simple wooden tables set out in front of the store, with blue sun bleached and stained table clothes laid out on top of them

"And our town is too tired to worry about such things" the man chuckles, with how friendly he is I bet I should know him but...his name just isn't coming up so he'll be called pastry the pie guy until I learn it or "remember" since asking would be awkward.

Erret sits by my side, pulling a chair from another table to fit in beside me folding her hands in her lap as she keeps her head down.

"hey, cheer up. Its not like your being forced here by gu....sword point" I say, turning to her as she frowns and shakes her head

"I don't want to displease the other customers....or scare them away, it is better to keep my affliciton hidden here" She says meekly, which pisses me off

"Erret, we're getting pie, try to enjoy yourself, please? No one else is here" I say motioning around all around me "they're to busy looking at the dead dire!"

"I don't like being starred at....and they won't be for long" She says softly "I don't like being this close to this many people, you know this master"

"I know but I am trying to train you out of it" I laugh, making her smirk before she goes back to being a grump

"Its just a precaution....a survival instinct" She says looking up finally

"And any who tries to hurt you will be turned into a bloody ice sculpture" I say angrily, frosting covering my hand again

"I know" She says looking down at her lap again "But I was taught to be wary"

"And if I ever find who taught you they're getting an icicle up their" I begin to say as Erret smiles

"maybe not that harsh of a punishment...and by now they'd have forgotten their cruelty. No need to seek revenge" She says shaking her head "especially for me....being by your side is enough"

"it was just a figure of speech" I grumble as the pie guy comes back and sets two slices of pie in front of us, healthy slices. leaving a cup of cream and butter beside them as well as a tea pot

"just like you liked as a youngin, one still buzzing apple bee pie with honey and stingers left in" He says with a warm grin as I try not to show how horrified I am. WHY WOULD ANYONE EAT THIS? that's fucking disgusting and I just now I'm going to love it. fuck everything.

"And one blueberry cheery pie....left cold" He says softly "as I am told you prefer"

"Mm" Erret says, dragging her plate closer to her

"you two ladies enjoy" pie man says as he walks away and I grab my fork

Erret smiles and sighs "....I used to have pies like this before we met...so long ago....I'm glad you always get me one, master"

"hey don't mention it" I say, reaching for the cream and honey as my glistening slab of butter soaked pie sits in front of me in all its horror, I think I can see a few little stingers in there....and wings "so why do I like this so much again?"
cont

>>2074847

"oh? did you hit your head?" Erret asks, reaching up to see if I did "You always went on about how you loved the stinging sensation"

I mouth what the fuck and....against my better judgement taste a bite and grab my cheek as I feel a sharp pain and moan "Why is this so good"

"it is the best pie in town" Erret says, looking up at a sign that says just that "and I am glad you're enjoying it like you always do....makes the horrors of today seem....a little more distance"

"And I am thankful for" I say, pausing as I realize my fork is frozen to my hand, sighing I start to peel it off "Really need to learn to control that"

Its starting to warm up now that its midday. Its no longer as biting and annoying cold, which is a little ironic considering my new magic. Erret is sitting by me, finising off her slice off pie and I tap my fork against my empty plate, thinking and just sort of trying to piece together what's happened to me already today. First off, I think as I scoop up some of the honey, apple and crushed roasted bee filling to the center of my place, I learned that someone had been killing the zombies I scattered everywhere back on my old account when this wasn't real. Less work for me but still disturbing. So I didn't think I had to worry until I found the people who did and found out they were bandits or something. Now that's bad, then I saw that there was some weirder shit in graveyard I had filled with undead, namely new ones and that curse I put on them acting different than it should but honestly I kind of expected stuff like that to happen with how the shade of sin was. So that was another weird thing, luckyily though Erret did most of the work there and dealt with pretty much the whole horde. But then that Dire came up and really beat the shit out of me. Even after healing I'm still sore all over, like my neck is cramped and my arms are tired. Basically even more bullshit, but it was at least fun and exiting bullshit until nearly bit my hand off. THEN the crone and maiden spoke to me, breathed on my sword and let me freeze that big fucker.....then accidentally gave me ice magic when I prayed to them again to stop Erret from being turned into a tainted, dully colored pancake. So all in all that was pretty cool. Got some kickass new magic, fought and killed a big monster and did my second good deed for the year...month....whatever. HELL I even got paid for it! But now there's something ELSE I have to worry about. Something entirely different....actually about three things unless I find something else to do for fun or just because I'm bored. Still need to wheel and deal those freaks who got themselves trapped in the wrong gender.....I mean I don't have to worry about money but....its just too easy. Then again the villagers seem to see me as devout which....well I have a reason to at least pray everynow and again after having the fucking god of death drop by to say hi.

Yeah, need to see how banged up that dire's old mansions is and if I can fix it or just sell it for some scrap. And some weird woman was asking around for me earlier. AND I need to spend my cash on something because all the fighting I've been doing is wearing down my armor and shield.

"Who would've guessed gold was a bad choice for armor" I grumble as I chew on my fork, resting my tail on my lap as I do so.

>>2075622


Well at least I'm used to how my scales feel....actually more comfortable than just plain old skin...might be the fur under them now that I think about it, its fuzzy keeps me warm and unlike coats it'll actually keep me from being stabbed

"Gold conducts magic easier than other metals without further magical alterations" Erret says proudly "at least....that's what Cornibus said, but you're right it really isn't the best choice to keep you safe since its soft and....well draws the eye easily"

"Well I know that, its because its a divine metal and" i rattle off without meaning to "But still, you'd use it for rings or cememorial stuff, not actual armor"

"OH! so its like that because the gods blessed it?" Erret says curiously, smiling as she looks in awe at the piece of gold strapped around my chest

"More or less?" I say, shrugging as I set my fork down. Well, better decide what to do next.

"You don't seem to like godly things do you? Holy and divine stuff you know" I say quietly just in case anyone burn happy is around to hear "Do those sort of things hurt you or do they just make you nervous"

"Oh? Well I...well I haven't found anything like that that burns me yet but I imagine its out there somewhere, probably a whole plenty of such things" She says uneasily, looking around nervously almost in paranoid way as I get up from the table and start to head down the dirt covered cobblestone street leading out of the town "but otherwise its, like I said so many times before I just....don't like being around such things"

"Oh I get that, completely understandable" I say nodding as she frowns and jogs to catch up to me, keeping her head low the entire time.

"Well, its more like an instinct than just dislike....and my blood trying to move away from such revered things is also quite unpleasant" She says meekly "But usually its just a dread feeling and skin crawling experience, so please don't worry too much about it master"

I nod, waving lazily at the guards as they open the new gates for us and let us out into the forest path

"What think I'll start breaking holy symbols when you're around?" I snicker as she laughs

"No I just don't think its worthy of worry, my fault its like this anyways" She sighs "Why were you asking me something like this anyways, if I may ask, Lady Belua"

"I got curious when you were panicking around the church and when I built that mob, so I got curious and just thought I'd ask. Didn't upset you or anything did I?" I say with my usual smile, doesn't seem to unnerve her for some reason. Guess she's just used to it

"oh no of course not!" She proclaims as dead leaves crunch under our feet "its just....well I don't like thinking of my affliction much"

"is that why you prefer being around just me and like....two other people?" I ask, and she just nods, staying quite until we get to the break in the road leading to cornibus' bitchin tower

"And because it would take so little to spread it" She says, scratching her wrist "A unnoticed cut, one too many drink shared, a kiss or more"

She makes an odd noise, guess she embarrassed herself with that last one. I laugh at her as she huffs.

"its no joke! Tainted can't have pure children or....any relations like that" She says, her cheeks turning a little black as she shakes her gloved fist at me "But it really is just because I feel safer for myself and others around you and little more my master...cause one slip of my tongue would"

"Would?" I ask looking back at her "would what"

"I won't speak about if I misspeak" She says shaking her head "I am just...its better for me to be away from others, and I enjoy the silence"

"So I should just shut up then?" I cackle as her eyes go wide and she just panics

"No no!' she says as we walk up the gravel path to the open tower door, strange lights shining up at the top "I meant in general I didn't mean it like"

>Tainted can't have pure children or....any relations like that" She says, her cheeks turning a little black as she shakes her gloved fist at me


Oh little Errat, you say that like it'll stop us

>>2075674

"Just kidding" I laugh as I stop in front of the door way, smelling the acidic and burning smells of alchemy

"NO NOT THE SALT PETER! do you want to turn us to pillars of salt? THE SAINT PETER'S ANKLEWORT" the old alchemist shrieks in a panic as I take a step back from the door

"The...the what again?" Alchebitch asks trying to be smooth

"THE YELLOW RINGED MUSHROOM WITH THE SILVERY FLESH! did you forget all our lessons together"

"I was just making sure you remembered!

Wow he's a shitty actor....well I just thought of a question to ask erret while I wait for those two to blow themselves up or something.

"Why do you like cold pie?" I ask as she frowns and sighs

"its familiar" She says simply before she sticks out her split tongue "and I can't stand hot food....or drinks, or anything really. Which is odd since I could stick my hand in fire and come out unscathed sooo.....I don't get it"

She pouts and I try not to laugh at her because I can imagine why its familiar. She did have a normal family once that left it.

"Oh Belua. its safe in here so come in, come in. No need to hide out there in the cord. I've secured all the vials and sensitive equipment and covered the fragile ones with rubber, so do come in, we're making an cream to relive pain!" the old alchemist...what's his name says

"Oh I will, just being sure" I say as Alcheybitch shoots me a glare and I flip him off "Also, never though to ask but do you have any hobby"

"Not really, serving you is relief in enough for me"Erret says cheerfully

"Did you have any?" I ask

"Star....I used to look at the stars when I was sad? does that count?" She asks and i just shake my head

"Well what would you do if you didn't serve me so....completely?" i ask as she frowns and thinks about it

"Oh....cleaning, gardening or" She says pausing "raising cats"

"All things she does anyways" Old alchemist says with a huff "besides feline raising"

"I mean I figured but...hey did a lady come here looking for me?" I ask, stepping into the strangely cold tower

"Hmm! OH YES! the most gifter of the arcane arts! the blessed champion of the librarian. The scholar knight" He says excitedly as Erret turns even paler and holds her scythe closer to herself than normal "One of the knights of the seven uh....Alimofa. No idea why but apparently old corny summoned her due to the recent happenings....no idea why she wants to talk to little miss explodedy"

Suddenly I feel shocking embarresed and blush as he smirks and turns to me like a wooden dolls

"Ah, but whatever her reason, she's currently meeting with your master....so give them time to discuss...and don't interfere with this process its delicate" He mumbles as Alchebitch shrugs

"he's worried it'll be pain causing cream" he says as Erret giggles

"Oh yes, I remember when master was....less graceful" She says, cheekily

I kind of find the Erret lusting a little disturbing.

I mean.

She's gotta go through a redemption arc to be an equal first. Right now it would be like lusting after our daughter.

Also I think it would be funnier to feel uncomfortable with how dependent on us she is especially since WE are responsible for her being Tainted in the first place. We aren't the Belua that saved her either, she's the one those feelings are for.

In fact, in a way, we also killed that Belua when we took her place here.

"Oh....."I say, feeling more than a little confused as quite a few questions fill up my head and I just chose one to ask first "One of the knights of the seven I....OH HER!!"

yeah I know her! she had some of the most annoying fetch quests in the game and I am pretty sure cornibus would send you to her at a certain point. Really annoying but, eh, what can you do. And that would me I actually know her now. And already I can remember how strict she was even compared to cornibus...okay that was weird! Not uncomfortable but...Ergh more new old memories! quick change the subject! change the subject!

"Wait, she's here?" I say, grinding my teeth as the alchemist just nods "Why?"

"I don't know, might have to do with all the taint that's been around or dug up, you wouldn't have" He starts to say to Erret in a teasing way, but shuts up and thinks better of it "Anyways, she is probably investigating that, nothing to be worried about....unless that dragon sighting was real to"

"well I..." I start to say before one of the other questions come to mind "Wait Miss explodey?"

"Oh yes, your old nickname" the alchemists giggles

"did you forget master? You nearly demolished the tower with your clumsiness" Erret says giggling "or ruined your robes...You really were quite destructive. Maybe even more so than since you have mastery over most of your spells"

"yes, unlike all the times you blew up your journals or notes" the old alchemist says, chortling as his apprentice gets a shit eating grin on his face and I just....well I throw a snow ball at him as it gets harder to keep my cool with how humiliating this is suddenly

"or the toy sword you carried before Grandmaster gave you a real one" Erret says

"why did you try and learn explosive sacrifice so early? all it did was cause you pain when you sent poor Master Bearygood to the great beyond" the alchemist sniffles as I toss another snow ball at alchebitch for looking like he was going to make it worse

"Who?" Erret asks curiously as the old alchemist laughs

"Oh her teddy" he begins before alchebitch yells like well a bitch.

"Why do you keep doing that?" he hollers as I turn towards the stairs leading up

"She had a teddy bear?' Erret says, giggling like a gossiping fucking hen...thought I could trust her but nooo

"Hey what'syourname want to burn....freeze a bandit camp down?" I ask angrily as he freezes up

"I...I mean I" he says, stammering "I mean...well you've been kinda of a"

Erret glares at him

"Why would I help you with that?" he squeaks as I stomp up another few steps

"You have until I get back to stop being such a pansy and decide" I growl as I leave them and still here Erret talking to that old bastard and I swear if whatshisname joins in I'm deep freezing his balls.

I shouldn't even be getting mad about this. Not like it was....

I grit my teeth and nearly punch one of the stone walls. just ignore it, you don't get mad. You do that to others.But I will avenge myself upon Erret for this.

The candles are glowing with blue light, instead of the usual purple. Also they seem to be sucking the heat out of everything around them, so effectively that I can see my breath. But still its normal for kids to have teddy bears and stuff yeah? .... okay stop thinking about it, or you'll end up breaking your hand on something.

The door to Cornibus' study is closed but not locked. So push it open with my shoulder. And find Cornibus sitting behind his desk, and a woman...a familiar woman in pure white and light blue robes with a glass like mask covering her face, shined to a mirror finish.

"BELUA!' Cornibus shouts "I thought I taught you manners, what are doing back here Unannounced. this is a very important discussion"

"Oh, his favored apprentice" Alimofa says in a light, airy almost unnaturally calm voice "you have grown....and recieved a rare gift it seems. She may stay so long as her servant remains distance, don't trust one with a record like her around secrets like these"

"As you wish, chosen scribe" Cornibus says submissively, suddenly sounding...well not all mighty and zeus like. Or fatherly for that matter "Sit belua, stand if you wish, we were discussing the worrying amount of tainted artifacts found in this local recently"

"Such occurrences do seem to point towards this unimportant farmland to be rather important as they often do. Feel free to join in and add any knowledge you have found" alimofa says softly "I understand you have dealt with a few of these....sudden incursions of taint, two of them yes"

"Three if you count her saving the alchemist boy from the undead"

Wait what! NO FUCK THAT! NO! How did that happen? did me ganking him turn into that! WHAT THE HELL.

"Oh, so you have more of a heart than your master" the knightess says almost teasingly as her voice drifts through the air and lingers for a moment "such selfless kindness is a rare quality however"

"I merely see the inherit value in some lives over others" he huffs "but yes, she has been helping....control it so to speak...you may join in if you wish, you did finish your tutelage so you're word is valued as a true magicians"

"even if you follow a different path....but as I understand it" Alimofa says "you took the purified form of one of these tainted artifacts...why. You understand why I'd ask considering the company you keep. I mean no offense but....Curiosity"

"it looked cool and" I say as she tilts her head for a second "well it kills monster easier than my hammer did"

"Still young I see" She sighs "but yes, of course it would, demons are mighty fiends...most mighty indeed. Still, most wouldn't carry such a thing even after it has been purged of its most foul past"

"She has always been reckless, but it is safe" cornibus says as I nod and smirk

"I know that, I just was wondering if she had a plan beyond" She begins to say before I chime in

"Hey, cornibus let me have it. So waste not want not. beside it'll hold enchantment well" I say, making her sigh as Cornibius cringes

"Using it as a mere sword" Alimofa adds as I smile a little wider

"mere magic sword" I say as she looks to cornibus who looks miserable now "and like you both said it isn't dangerous anymore, like erret....except she never was"

"yes but it is a bad sign for a thing like it to show up" Cornibus says softly as Alimofa nods

"And even cleansed it is still drawn to such things....it will never be truly clean" the knight says dully "but I have heard what I needed to, it was a better tool for your chosen duties so back to the corruption creeping on these peaceful fields"

"Ah yes, well I have the reports of...all known sightings of tainted things...unusually tainted things I should say" My master says lifting up a stack of scrolls "and there is a larger presence than there should be....as well as artifacts that had no history being here"

"So I'm guessing this is more than just bad luck, all this taint then?" I ask, sitting down in cornibus' comfy reading chair by the freezing fire "but before I...we talk about how badly fucked Carolton is. Why were you asking around for me exactly?"

"Belua" Cornibus says sternly

"She was more mannered as a child" Alimofa sighs before chuckling "guess she has reached that age then....dangerous when combined with magic"

"Certainly" My master says as I sigh and clap my hands together

the knight clicks her tongue

"if you must know it is because you have shown promise, both with magic and....well as a warrior of the gods" She says "leading an attack on a place so heavily tainted as that lost farm stead was impressive, even more so with the complete lack of tainted survivors and surprising amount of survivors. It and the fact you kept the artifact found there drew my interest, as did the slaying of the dire with...unusual magics. Though I would've attributed them to your servant if not for the eye witness reports of you wielding that rare art of"

She holds her hand up, ice forming around it

"Cyromancy, as it is a secret most hard to find" She says almost warmly "...your Erret didn't teach it to you? she had searched for most unpleasant truths in her youth"

"but she no longer does, she serves Belua here with her entire being" Cornibus says

So you all didn't want erret here cause you were shit talking here? are you two fourteen?

>>2075874

"Anyways" I say standing back up "you were looking for me because....we had the same magic and you wanted to be friends or were you just curious or..."

"it did intrigue me" the knightess admits, chuckling "it is a rare art and I wanted to see how you found it...but no, I was going to ask for you to deal with the lesser reports of taint as my meatheaded associate ran off to fight a dragon that is probably non existent"

"it is his way" Cornibus mumbles "as well as to report any instances you find by yourself, sirAlimofa is a busy woman"

"I cannot waste time cleansing things that are not......serious" she says calmly

"Well I just inherited the old house of the dire I killed, probably some tainted stuff there" I say shrugging

the knight stops, the bands on her wrist glowing as she turns back to me

"may I investigate that abode?" She asks softly "i will not displace anything that isn't...unclean, upon my word and tale"

What do i do?

Or more likely, she's just going to wait here until we finish, or drag us off to see the mansion first.

I just shrug and cross my arms, as I say "you can if you want to, won't worry me"

"Might not have inherited his caution but you did get his wisdom" the knight says kindly "Still, is recklessness better than choking caution"

I can't tell if that was a compliment or insult to both of us? that's actually kind of amazing.

"Anyways, I will acompany you while I make my search, before I go to deal with the more pressing dangers" she says calmly as I frown

"Well I did kind of promise the mayor I'd deal with the bandit problem" I say frowning as she nods

"a mundane task" she replies

"He is abusing your good will" Cornibus grumbles "perhaps I should teach him magicians are not a tool to be used"

"I was going to do it anyway, but this way he owes me...again" i chuckle as Cornibus laughs

"thinking like a true arcane master" Alimofa says dully "But still, there are better ways to spend your time"

"and less risky ones but....they may be corrupted" my master says stroking his glorious mustache

"Exactly!" I say after a second long pause, raising up one finger "and if they aren't it is still a good idea to scare them off you know?"

"Of course, but....still it could wait if it wouldn't endanger spreading the faithless illness already nestling in the bowels of these farms" Alimofa sighs "fine, I will allow you to follow through your promise....it will be a good test of your skills and the gods do teach us to challenge ourselves. But I will not aid you"

What do I say?
[] Why?
[] will you at least watch

[] Oh come on it'll be fun

"Will you at least watch" I say semi sarcastically, as alimofa turns her blank mirror mask to me and strides up to me

"Your actions and strange gift have focused one eye on you, for now. But I have many. So while I will see, you will not be the center of my attention" She says in that same disconnected airy way as she did when I walked in

"Well that isn't creepy at all" I say smirking as she lets a dry chuckle out of her mouth

"it is my gift.....and not the one we share"She says in a friendly way "and do be careful, you're tale has many paths to travel down still"

"Well I'd give you the same wishes but....I don't think you'd need them" I say laughing as Cornibus sighs

"but it would be polite" He says, reminding me of my manners

"And manners maketh humanity as some say, but I will forgive her for her youth" the knightess says softly as she glides past me "but do not take long, for these same manners are what will keep me from your abode without your presence"

"I figured as much as we agreed on that more or less" I say as i turn and see she's already phasing through the steps "Well I'll see you at my mansion. I'm going to grab Erret, Whatshisname and maybe a few.....noble souls to help deal with those bandits"

"You do seem to lead men well, despite me never training such a thing" Cornibus says proudly

"do not tarry" Alimofa says calmly "there are urgent matters for both of us to attend, after all"

I nod, and run down the stairs. Thankfully my tail keeps me from slipping

"Erret, we're heading out to deal with those bandits, whatshisname you coming?" I ask as the alchebitch groans

"Its....its Elrond" He says, stuffily "and yes, just in case it makes me stronger. BUT YOU'RE DOING ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING! YOU OWE"

"Bitch I saved your life" I say smugly as he sputters and Erret nods

"She did" She says dully and bluntly. leaving Elrond to sputter in confusion.
