Eruda

As the Aura beneath her feet vibrates the ground, Eruda glances to Griswold with a nod. Back to the creatures with no souls, as her flames get larger, hotter, burning the ground we walk on, sizzling and popping of rubbish that can't light. The clashing of two blades that was not hers but Raidou's. A sparking hit against her shield as a spiraling burst of blue flames catch what was around her on fire. A defensive stance, raising her shield as another makes their move and finds a large metal piece to it's back, catching on fire as the crazed flames ignites the now screeching spire. "Go," a glance to Rai and a word of understanding, Raidou knew by now that Eruda could handle her own, it would be her job now to watch his back, as they would all force their all through the hell that was placed on this field. Divide and conquer as one...

"Oh hun it is much more than me and you," looking down to Shiina. "Show them that you are much more than just a musician," tilting her head with a smile as her eyes glance to her father. A glance to Rai, mere meters from her, at the corner of her eye she sees minions beginning to charge. Carving her sword upward against her shield as spark ignite the flames, slicing downward at the group before they got to Rai and Freyd... They burst into flames and screech in panic as they evaporate into nothing. Eruda takes a solid breath out, this is what she was training for. This is what she was meant to do, protect. Flames light under her feet as a burst of blue fire scorch the other creatures around her. A few more charging right for her, placing her shield up, she gets ready for heavy impact...

In the back room as she had come to the shop to clear the dust from the shelving. After the girl with red hair bombed on her shop from being filled with dust bunnies, it was clear that this place had not been used or cleaned in ages. A wet rag being wiped against the particles before a sharp cough was heard from the entrance. Soon after a voice, one that she knew well... Raidou... A smile peers on her face as she walks out from the back. Glancing at Rai as his face seemed to be red, "I have been waiting for when this day would come," a slight turn of her head to the cloth. Making her way to the corner of the main room, a blanket is pulled off a mannequin that this robe was once placed on. The only thing in this entire room that didn't have a spec of dust on it. 

Walking to the counter now, taking the robe in her grasp and holding it out, she wraps the red fabric around the plastic mannequin, readjusting it for easy access. Taking the thread provided by Raidou, it was something that she had never seen before. Opening a drawer filled with other spools and needles, a tiny box that contained the same needle used last time. Taking it from it's home with a smile, she gets to work. 

This was like second nature to her as the herbs were to Raidou. Taking a long piece of the unique red thread, cutting the end as she puts the needle up to the light and threads it easily through the small hole. Making the two ends meet evenly, tying a small knot. Walking to the display now she looks the red cloth over with precise focus. Patching the fraying tips first, but as she the thread connects with the fabric, something is different. More or less how Simmone or Sam would identify items, the red thread lights up in her eyes, symbolized a bond and marriage of two people... Her face turns red now as her chest began to pound faster, making this discovery, but she continues working. 

Outlining the bottom rim of the robe, creating a definition to be noticed by only the keen eyes. Cutting the thread and patching the tiny holes that could be seen within the cloth. For the final touch, Eruda edges in a small Frim Anima Icon right where his heart would lay under the cloth. Cutting the last thread now she steps backwards looking at the masterpiece. It glows silver, then gold and goes back to normal coloring. Without looking back at Raidou she says "Did you know about the meaning of this red thread before bringing it here..." Holding the red spool softly in her hands... Did he know...

Eruda smiles as she watches the remainder of the enemies detach from their limbs. Looking to her bar as Freyd mentions energy, she simple nods. Turning to the darkened hall, she begins to walk to the room that Freyd suggest before hearing a ping come from one of her parties HUD. Glancing back it was Kat, who was opening her messages as her face expression becomes sour. "I have to go kick someones ass. Sorry for leaving, but I have to set this dude straight..." Katoka turns and starts walking where they came from... Eruda chuckles a bit as everyone says they're good by's. 

Turning back to the dimmed hall, she makes her way toward that room. Standing in front of this room, she sees nothing inside but that meant nothing in a place like this... It could be trapped or something could be waiting for us to just walk in and then appear. Eruda pulls her shield up as blue flames began to dance on her blade. Taking a deep breath as she enters the room ready for anything, but nothing... It was empty... Eruda's eyes glance around the room, shift left... Then right as her chest begins to pound fast... Soft eyes fall upon a familiar figure in a red robe... "Rai??" Lowering her sword and shield, now as she was nearly face to face with the one she was falling in love with...

Battle Healing +43 Health

A flare in her eyes as each attack made connects with a burst of flames igniting some as they burn alive into nothing definable. Horrifying screeches from the creatures as a few attempt to attack but are rebuked by more out lashed flames. The one that managed to stay alive runs around Eruda trying to pat itself off. Screaming at the top of its lungs, as the flames caught the tables and chairs laying around. The Kobold running around crashed against the table and falls right to its face. The other was holding his face in agony as Eruda's defense mechanism seemed to do way more damage to it then to her. Eruda takes a step forward toward the two as her form pulses deep blue from her sword. Looking carefully into her eyes, one could seen tiny flames pierced within them. She was focused on nothing but them, she was proud of who she has become... Everything in that room was now nothing but ash...

Eruda did not know Haine or Ruri back in the day when this hell first started. "No one deserves to be alone..." Thinking back to Haine's conversation, Eruda had made a connection to something about what she was told. "You would not be here walking around if Raidou didn't care about you. I heard what he did for you..." feeding her bottle after bottle till he got it right... He kept fighting for Ruri even when the chances were slim to none. This in its own way proved he cared for her. The baby comment confused her a bit... "There is a big difference in needing comfort and being babied." Freya at some points in her life acted like a child so no one took her seriously. "I care for you for one reason... You are a human being in this world of death. I live to protect everyone that deserves it. Putting myself on the line so others don't have to. Keeping you and everyone in this guild safe, I will not allow you to say that no one cares about you because it is simply not true." Eruda wasn't going to give up. Ruri had thoughts in her head that were not going to let up. "If I knew you existed..." it was sad to say, but she only just found out about her a month ago... She would show Ruri somehow that she was not alone... 

Eruda walks out the doorway and pushes her back against the wall. Sliding to the ground now, she crosses her legs. Ruri was in a tough spot and she knew that, Eruda wanted to help but she was not sure how. Leaning her head against the wall she just sits there for a while. An hour passes as she just sits there staring at the staircase. Silence was echoing to deaf ears, but Eruda wasn't going to leave, she meant what she said. She may be the cause of the outbreak and it may make things worse, but everything gets harder before it starts to get better. 

"Haine came to me after you two faught. I assume that somehow you ended up with Rai after or you wouldn't be in his lab..." This was all she said before she let silence hit the walls again. Haine was so broken up about the topic, she remembers how she fell asleep in Eruda's lap after not being able to sleep on her own. Raserei scoots past Eruda without notice and walks up to Ruri. She just lies there next to her with the head across her paws...  

And there is was... The explosion that she wanted to see for herself. Taking a deep breath now she walks out of the room to grab something to clean up the mess... Coming back in a moment later she gets to her knees and starts to clean up the mess that Eruda was the cause of... "You ask me where I was. I was helping my sister, she was trapped for years in something similar as you were, but she woke up on her own with Raidou's help, only two months back." Eruda scoops the glass into the tiny can. "You are right, I don't understand..." as she flips the cloth over to absorb more liquid. Regardless of how angry Ruri got, her rage out and yelling, Eruda stays completely calm. "I don't understand, but I would like to." Freya came back too with a huge anger attached to her. Something that she had never seen before. Cleaning up the remaining shards of glass, she stands up and wipes down the small amount of dark content off the counter. "Regardless of what you want to believe Ruri, you will never be alone again..." Walking to the kitchen now she rings out the glass towelette under running water. She can feel the tiny shards against her hands as her health goes down slightly before rising back to full. Eruda comes back with a plastic cup this time, water inside, setting it on the counter for Ruri.  

The old thoughts start to seep in. From everything that she had heard about Ruri, from Haine, about her moving on when her sister was literally lost inside herself. Thinking that the one person that you thought would care the most, couldn't because they were unsure how. The thought of being alone and not wanted by anyone around you. Freya stopped caring about her until this game happened and all Eruda could ever do was care, and worry about her twin... Freya couldn't show the same to her... She remembered what if felt like to be alone in such a big world... She would not let another share that same fate. That person that she tried so hard to be, started to come out now. 

Getting up from her seat now she walks into the room and sees the tears... "You do not know me and I do not know you, but I have been where you are." Her chest starts to tense, but she says, "I was hated for not talking and my twin sister did not give a dam about me when I needed her the most... My mother used me after running my father out and I was completely and utterly alone for as long as I could remember." Eruda pauses for a moment before saying, "I will not... No, I refuse for another human being to go through what I did, so whether you like it or not Ruri you will have Raidou and me behind you no matter what." It might have been a bit much, but everything she said was the truth. She could not just sit behind the scenes any longer... 

Taking a glass from the pantry, biting her bottom lip, and bringing another glass down. Eruda didn't know if Ruri liked coffee, but if she knew anything, simple actions, and time were key. No words would make Ruri look a second glance at her, but maybe showing she cared even in the slightest might. Pouring some coffee in each cup she blends a bit of Vanilla into it. Taking a sip of her own making sure it was fine, she walks back into Rai's lab and sets the coffee cup on the corner of the table. She walks past Raserei saying "Come girl," as she walks out and sits back into her chair with her knees to her chest. Shifting through a few more pages as the wolf lays next to Eruda's feet now. Taking a deep breath and looking back to the room where the girl sat on the other side of the wall, she remembered how it felt to be alone, not wanted. She felt at one point in time to want to end that feeling. This game was her last resort...  

The girl was on edge like Raidou said. It was fine, she just need time. "Eruda, I didn't mean to alarm you. I am Raidou's..." she pauses for a moment. What does she call Raidou... He was too much to call just a friend, but where they at that point to call each other something else... "I am a really close friend..." she says in almost a question as she was unsure what to call him right now. "I am here every morning besides recently, I won't be a bother." Eruda looks over Ruri one more time before turning back to the hallway. Without turning she said, "I am glad you have someone like Raidou, I don't know what I would have done without him..." Taking a deep breath as she meant every word. He believed in Eruda when no one else would. Rai was a really unique type of person and she knew that he would help Ruri in the way that she needed... She walks to the kitchen and starts to brew some coffee, she would need it if she intended to rearrange what she bought today...

Raserei sits by the door and gives a small whine. Stepping a few feet into the corner of the room, curls into a ball and falls asleep...

Eruda was knee deep in some new information. Notes and scribbles on the updated Earning a living that they just did together. New info on the Monkey King quest, and Natures Treasure and a new field boss found on floor 8. A few new environment changes as well. "Wow" Eruda says softly as she scans over each print. 

Raserei sniffing around on the floor around the hall doing her own thing. The wolf's ears perk up as she hears something around the corner. Peering into Raidou lab, she sees a new face... With a huff and a turn of her head, looking at the figure that was not Rai... Raserei gives a small coo to alarm Eruda that they were not alone, "What," Eruda calls out from the main area. After a moment Eruda walks around the corner to see what her wolf wanted, eyes on a sheet of paper she had in her grasp,  as she looks slightly up seeing a blue haired girl that looked a lot like Haine... A previous conversation recalls a name, "Ruri right?" Eruda leans against the door frame with a smile, one of her hands against Raserei's head to keep her calm...    

Eruda wakes early, at first forgetting where she lay. A new bed, just bought purple and red sheets. Light purple walls, soft black carpet. Raidou's house that was now something that they shared. Eruda gets up from her bed now and glances around one more time before gathering her things needed for the day. She was going to the guild hall today. It has been a while, and she was sure that Raidou had collected more information. Walking out of her room now she heads through the living room, Raserei found rest on the new love seat that was still wrapped in plastic. Eruda had done a bit of shopping and she would need to get it situated, she hoped that Raidou would like what she bought. It wasn't much, but enough to make it look like someone lived here. Dishes, white plates and teacups still in the box they came in. Some food for the fridge, and the tea that Raidou drank. She hoped she could allow Rai that comfort to be in his own home too so that it didn't feel so empty...

Raserei follows Eruda out the door as she locks the door and heads to floor 22 where the Guild Hall was placed. She brought a few carrot sticks with her as she opens the door and sits in her spot at the table. She began to look through each sheet of paper while munching on the carrots. Raserei goes sniffing around the building...

Eruda | HP: 760/760 | EN: 88/88 | DMG: 6 | MIT: 147 | BH: 38 | BRN: 56 | REC: 4 | TAUNT | THRNS: 72

Finally, after an hour or so they get to the top, as the same large majestic building makes itself known. Appearing seemingly out of nowhere like before. Still, as beautiful as ever, as she walks up the steps to the tall doors. This time, though, she opens those large metal doors by herself. Pushing with all her might, as they seem to open pretty simple. This shows true strength, given that she would not have been able to do this last time. Eruda has come such a long way from where she was and it really did show. The shy, hesitant little girl was no longer, straight forward and rational decision making. A leader that was still learning every day, her voice was found. The shyness still showed while alone with Rai but all for good reason. Walking through this doorway with confidence shown with every step, "Ah you made it, Welcome. I am Demeter and you are not at all what I was expecting." At this point the goddess look toward who she assumed was the tailor she worked with oh so long ago.   

Her vision comes back as she was still staring into Raserei's eyes, hearing her name being called. Raising her head slightly and pulling her shield down. Placing it back where it was placed, standing upright... "How long were you standing there?" Clearing her throat, glancing up at the Minotaur. "I heard the slide and was expecting you. Wanted to make sure you were okay." Eruda nods and gives a worried glare to her wolf. "You have to be more careful, you could die and I am not sure I could handle that," scratching the back of Raserei's ear, she whines softly... She was part of this little family that has formed. Raserei even though she was just a game pion, and would never exist in the real world, she still felt a deep connection with her. "Let us get up this mountain. This day is ending sooner than I would like it to..." All three bodies walk slowly up this pathway watching their step at every turn now. 

Suddenly, as she looks into Raserei's eyes, her mind flashes back to a dream she had. A deep fog, dark, the stars could be seen but just barely. Standing back to back with Raidou, screaming, death known as the popping of a diseased one. Rocks clashing to the ground like someone... No, something causes the slide to happen. Vulture's cawing in the area above them... With nothing left for them to gnaw on, they were just there. Her wolf growling deep in front of her as she could sense something that Eruda could not... "Rai, there is too many of them." Rai looks over his shoulder to meet her eyes, "Do you trust me," Eruda simple nods. "Stay close, kill the strays... We will get our family back..." Raidou says as they both run in toe toward the familiar screams. 

"Girl... hey girl... ERUDA," something was calling her name as she snaps out of it shaking her head.

-2 More energy from Sur Charge on Post Here

The remainder of enemies fall and silence falls within the chamber. All that could be heard now was growling and snarls in the distance, in another room. A smirk given to Freyd saying "Yea, I know," with a small chuckle. She was getting so much stronger than before and the others showed more than they ever had. "Nice moves Simmone, that after effect was really something..." as she watches the creatures finally implode from the black goo dripping from their mouths. She would hate to be hit by whatever caused that. After some careful glancing around her eyes meet Katoka's with a smile. "Sam would be very proud of you hun. So is there a date for the wedding yet?" Eruda walks forward while conversing quietly. Footsteps past Freyd now that she knew she would be able to handle whatever was further in... She would continue to take caution though. The dangers were still there and she took what Raidou has pinned into her head with a grand assault. Shield up and sword to her side as she continues further in.

Turning the corner, another group of figures moves for Eruda. Before they could do anything, Eruda quickly carves her sword through each one and the chambers light with blue flames. Crates ignite as some of the creatures flesh burns. They all scream out in pain and fury as only one tries to attack. Eruda shuts it down quickly as it finds a shield against its face. Stepping back a few steps holding his face. "Over here," as she keeps them at bay till their death eventually comes...

Eruda would walk with caution now. As the sun finally rose, the heat began to rise as well. It was a nice feeling. The flames that always surrounded her during battle, she had gotten used to it. The pure energy that she felt from it was overwhelming, but made her feel stronger in the end. Eruda could hear pebbles fall against the rock walls that eventually hit the ground mere meters away from them both. Ignoring this, for now, Raserei jumps off the wall and hits an unstable stone. As she jumps off this the stone crashes against the ground and causes the walls to shift. Seeing this Eruda acts quickly, grabbing her wolf and pulling her shield out and up, crouching down. Fragments of stones clash against the metal, as she is slightly pushed back from each impact. After a moment it stops. Raserei just looks up at Eruda with her ears back and head down.

The day was early, the sun was still rising, so the heat she felt now was only going to get hotter. She knew how long it would take to get to the mountain entrance so she started to jog with Raserei who seemed to be much faster. She was running circles around her and in a way, it was cute. The wolf was having a great time just running around. 

This goes on for some time as the Nav Marker gets closer on her map. Eventually, they end up at the beginning climb of the mountainside. "Ready," she looks down at Raserei as she sees that the wolf is staring up the curvy trail as well. She looks up at Eruda with a small coo. They both start heading up the unpredictable path. She knew from last time that if mis-stepped there was a change of a rock slide or worse.
 

Making the same journey she has once before, as she steps onto the warp gate with her wolf, "Floor 17," as she suddenly appears on the requested floor. The reflective tiles looked the same but somehow different. Maybe it was shifted slightly from the update on the game. Raserei runs forward as Eruda walks, raising her head and closing her eyes. The heat was nice, ever since she had gotten her new sword, the warmth had been most enjoyable. Opening her eyes and moving forward, she opens her HUD to make sure the temple-like building where she ended up before was where she was going now. Toggling on the quest and glancing at the Nav market, it sure looked like it. As she walked in that direction she wondered if the Minotaur would meet her again to guide her up. It was a bumpy road last time, but she knew more than ever now, she was ready...

A chime of her HUD as a message popped up. Something similar to what she got when leveling her Tailoring Skill. Smiling as she accepts the challenge and folds the box up. There were only two containers that she wanted to bring and in time she was sure that there was going to be stuff that was bought. Raserei starts sniffing one of the boxes and looks to Eruda with a whine. Giving a small chuckle she says "We have a new place to live. I think you'll like it there." Raserei hops and twirls in the air with excitement. "There's that spirit. We have one thing to do before we head that way though. You want to come with me?" The wolf heads for the door as Eruda grabs her equipment. Grabbing the door handle and glancing back to the interior of her shop. She was finally moving forward... Eruda opens the door, closes it after Raserei heads out. They begin to head toward the warp gate to floor 17 now.

After a long, fruitful night, a conversation between Raidou and her. It felt like a dream as she woke up in her own bedroll. The familiar shop she spent so much time within. It would be the last night she would spend here. Most of the packing was done, the thought of living under the same roof that Raidou did was terrifying though. He really was something else. A smile as she thinks about all the answers she got from Raidou. She was getting to know him, the true him. She knew that Raidou slept in the Guild Hall though, and was wondering if that would change that now that the house wouldn't be as empty. All this thinking rings through her head as she picks up a few more items and stuffs them into a box. Eruda didn't have many things, she liked it that way. Her chest felt heavy as she knew what was coming after she finished packing.
