Eruda

Receiving that message, a very quick glance as sweat rolls down her forehead. Shutting her HUD after a very quick message to @Freyd, -Take care of them-. Eruda watches Raidou a Ruri for only a moment. Eruda's mind was already made up. It was why she had told Freya no. "No one left behind," Eruda says as she bashes yet another enemy in the face as Griswold thwomps his hammer into the chest causing him to burst. "I cannot make any one of you stay, but I hope you do. Freyd will make sure that everyone else is safe, I trust him." A glance to her father, then to Freya and Gaius. A small glimp

"I know but..." her words cut as she listens. Her heart was pounding a million miles a second. "I just..." another cut off. Eruda eyes squint in a small glare toward Freyd. Eruda understood what Freyd was saying, it did not make it any easier though. "I want to help it along, but I don't know how without crossing that boundary. Now that everything is finally okay, I am afraid that I am going to say the wrong thing or do something stupid." Around Raidou, that was a huge habit. Eruda's face turns 5 shades redder... "Freyd, for example, the other day right before the Morrighan thing," she pauses

Hearing the conversation behind her, a little extra attention... That was an understatement. Reaching into her pocket, the same pendent as the one laying on the ground. The only difference was the color of the gem in the middle. The one Eruda was holding was a light blue like her flames, the one sitting on the ground was red... Time after time, these signs just keep popping up. Picking this one up off the dirt, Eruda holds them side by side. It almost pained her to know that Raidou had been gone for a couple days. It was his thing, he was still a busy man even after everything that just happen

Pushing her back against the wall for a moment to look back at the group. Talking to specifically Kodo, "Pointy side forward, I will get his attention. That will be your cue to attack," -No risks- Eruda thought to herself as she looks at the other two with the up most serious expression. Even something as easy as could go horribly wrong. Pulling out her sword and shield, walks around the corner. You can hear a huge roar from behind the walls. The next thing you hear in metal against metal as Eruda drags her blade against her shield, igniting those blue flames. You could feel the heat from arou

"Thank you," as another box like his gets moved to her. Before even touching it, Eruda pats her hair down. Unsure if it actually made a difference, his words caught her off guard. Lifting her head to meet his gaze now. Eruda could feel that heat rising to her face and would quickly look away to her food. Hands still in her lap as she could feel them start to shake. -No, not now- thinking as she looks around for that book that she was reading. The book was set neatly on the table, "but how" getting up from her chair to retrieve that hard back cover. It was really just a way to get up for a mome

Raserei would take that treat and fall back into slumber. The early sun blares in her eyes, shutting them tighter as of she didn't want to wake yet. After a moment her eyes flutter open, sitting up slowly. The wolfs head pops up, quickly getting to her feet, hopping back onto the couch. Raserei's head was inches from Eruda's before the girl pulls the wolf closer with a small chuckle. It was then that realized Raidou was sitting there. "Geez, I fell asleep on the couch again..." saying this to her familiar in almost a whisper. Unsure how long she was out or how long he was sitting there, E

Eruda still fast asleep but Raserei head pops up at the whistle of the pot, glancing around with tired eyes. Seeing Raidou sitting down now, glancing to Eruda as she shifts her body facing the cushions. The wolf quickly hops down trying not to get kicked, walks the length of the couch. Softly placing her paws on the edge as she gently takes the book between her teeth. Setting it on the small table, walking to Raidou with a long stretch. It would have been clear that this has happened multiple times, the wolf had gained some form of familiarity with what needed to be done. Walking to the m

Grabbing a book she found on the shelf, Eruda had taken to reading again. It had been a very long day, 2 am and she just got back home. Eruda still despised Freyd for bringing her to Hoya again and making it known his true intentions. Eruda couldn't very well leave the new kids standing though. Everything was as it should be, but the one thing that she missed was Raidou. He had not been seen much since the whole Morrighan debacle and Eruda was worried that it had done something to him that was unknown. With a sigh, sitting on the couch with a glass of tea. The book that she was reading wa

"Actually," saying as she swallows, she too was munching on the bun. "It was worn out welcome that we met. Hoya was just an hour after. Same day so I guess your partially right," a playful grin was given toward Freyd. Regardless, those days were over. Ones that would always be with her, when she started to move forward with her fears. "That stutter I had was pretty bad. I am so glad that is over with," a weird look appears on her face as she remembered how bad it really was. Eruda also recalls that pendant that Raidou tossed to her that day. You could see Eruda's face turn red at this point. S

Shadowed figures of Firm Anima standing around her, fighting like their lives depended on it. A turn to her right as Freya gets stabbed and falls to the ground, Eruda screams but no words could be heard. A sift clash of a sword against her shield. Pushing it back as another slices her side. A yell as Raidou comes into view and wipes out the crowd, placing a hand on her shoulder... Saying something, but nothing could be heard still. Looking back to Freya with tears in her eyes as Gaius picks Freya up. Griswold charges in and wrecks that crowd of humanoids. That feeling... Eruda's eyes flas

Eruda would have said more, but Freyd had pretty much covered it all. Firm Anima had been on a huge growth spree and now Rebekah was part of that. Eruda would make her feel as welcome as she could and help where it was needed. They all finish their meals and one by one they start to separate. Staying behind to do the dishes that were created. Eruda knew that her sister would get to it eventually, but she was trying to help out more around the guild. Eruda had been so distracted with other things as of late. Drying her hands and gathering her things again, the day was not over. There was

My head's still spinning from the last time I loved you Eruda, I always have, and I always will I would have given you everything I had I can't live without you. I wasn't living without you. Eruda kept that smile on her face, a chuckle with the conversation. Freyd was so right though, that day was... It was so special... Like a dream that came true in an instant, too good to be true. Eruda was now waiting for that other shoe to drop. Like everything that she ever wanted was just going to be ripped from her in one swoop. It was the weirdest feelin

Eruda just rolls her eyes with a smile. Freyd was half right though, they do have a roster of the guild members. What armor is worn, the weapons they use. It helps everyone stay up to date on their equipment. Eruda was not going to bother the girl with this though. Rebekah would soon find this out for herself if she decided to be involved with everyone in the group. "Well, we are glad that you have chosen us among all the others. I can promise that you will not regret it in the slightest." Giving the girl a smile as her twin walks out, holding 3 plates. One on her arm and 2 held in her hands.

Eruda just chuckles at the total splatter of the giant monkey that was now oh so tiny. Persi went right back to playing around with Raserei like nothing happened. It was clear that something like this was not an issue in the slightest. Looking to Rebekah, "Sure, Freyd?" Glancing to him for an answer, "Sure, I could use great coffee," Freyd just smirks. Eruda knew exactly what Freyd was insinuating. "Freya it is. I will see if she is available." Eruda didn't know if Freya was still taking a break day with Gaius. "My sister and her man Gaius are the best Chef Duo's in Aincrad." Starting to walk

Chuckling just a bit watching the two play cat and mouse with one another, it was clear that they had become good friends. It was nice, so had Freya and Eruda. "Well we are glad to have you in Firm Anima. If you need any help with anything you let us know." A growl from the large Monkey sees Eruda's words cut short. Seeing Perci jump into battle right then, Raserei begins to bare her teeth at this thing 10 times her size. Rebekah also leaps in for some action and right before Eruda could do anything, Sewallus gives a battle cry outburst that sounded like a howl to Eruda. "Really, did you not h

An out reached hand, waiting, instead she got the whole Raidou with a lift. His face against hers, it was like he was trying to get closer. Eruda could swear she stopped breathing, those eyes so familiar... It was really him, the one that she met all that time ago. This was different though, all this passion, those words... He was holding all of it in... Those tears kept rolling down her cheek as he spoke, but a smile was held. Eruda's heart was beating faster by the second as she listens. It was everything that she has wanted for a very long time now. It was here, that moment was here and she

"Yea, me too. Was eventually going to do this quest, but uh... Front lines happened." Joy washed over her followed by a playful glare to Freyd. Raserei takes a few steps forward after realizing that this female was not a threat to Eruda. Rubbing her head against a leg, guiding it to the girl's hand. A full grown wolf, very friendly until she saw something threatening in the mist beyond. Rebekah would see that soon enough. Grabbing a bite of what Freyd had brought, the buff activates and they were ready to head out. After the tale, Eruda found it a bit interesting. They would meet up with

Eruda would get to her feet, tears uncontrollable. The woman that stood did not change form, but that switch was remarkable. Those words... Eruda could not even express what she was feeling just that it was a lot. Those blue eyes look to Eruda and her face gets flustered. After a few more words, Raidou looks back, Eruda bites her bottom lip softly. Repeating in her head after it was said -Nothing is Impossible- a single step forward. A glance toward Montjoy, it seemed he felt the same way Eruda was at the moment. Looking back to Raidou as his mother vanishes and Nisa's words come out. They cha

"Yea" she says to Freyd while watching tiny Raidou wonder a bit. Eruda knew that it had to of started at a young age given the conversation about his father, but she didn't know just how young until now. Raidou couldn't be more than 10 in this image. Eruda didn't know how to feel right now. The fact that what she did wasn't the cause gave her a little relief, but then the fact that she added to it. Her heart ached at the feeling. No matter, she would stay by his side regardless. Raidou being in this form did not make her love him any less. If anything the scales were pushed forward. Frey

Shuffling papers around, there had been so many different updates for quests from the Cardinal system. It was a lot to keep on top of. Not only that, there had been a lot of new recruits coming into Firm Anima. Eruda was glad to see how quickly it was growing. With everything getting back on target the way it was suppose to be, Eruda would go back to helping these new recruits find their way. Eyeing a few more papers on the red plastered table, a chime of her HUD caught her attention. Opening this message, a name that she didn't recognize. A new recruit maybe, Monkey King... Closing her HUD sh

Those arms wrap tightly around the man while Freyd spoke. Eruda wouldn't give him the change to run away, not this time. A tear slips down her cheek, she couldn't say anything yet. Eruda just wanted Raidou to know she was there, sometimes actions spoke louder than words. This world starts to spin and twirl, Eruda just closes her eyes. Arriving at a familiar place, she could see that light through her shut eyes. Even though she was not aware that they were coming back here, it was a good idea. A relaxing place that felt realer than anything they have ever felt in this game. It was actuall

Without looking at Freyd while he spoke, but hearing every word. "I think you might be right," saying almost plainly. If Eruda did cause this path to form, she would correct it. It was the least that she could do. Eruda shakes her head, gets to her feet, and begins to pace again. Opening her HUD and looking to Raidou's name, a pause... Closing her HUD, more pacing. It was clear that she was a bit nervous. The way things ended last time was not ideal and that message that Raidou got less than an hour later from Eruda. Even after she was told not to proceed with Morrighan, she jumped in after Sa

When Freyd was explaining those tools, she could feel her chest tighten. Knowing that Raidou was in deep but not knowing how far he had gone. The Man in Red, the Red Wanderer. Eruda had only heard rumors about him... That red robe that he held against his shoulders is what started this, his heart, that first time that Eruda left amongst everyone else... Eruda did not know that it caused that much damage, but she had her suspicions. Everything happened so fast and even though it may have been a very stupid decision, it was also a very brilliant one. Raidou was doing the same thing that Morrigha

Eruda's eyes narrow, watching that sand slip through his fingers. Like a dream that she wasn't going to allow to fade. It was more than that, and Freyd was right. They both needed a break. The fact that Freyd agreed with her came a surprise. "I think that I have been focusing on the wrong things," she admits. "I have been trying so hard to get those secrets that I know he keeps from me, and even though yes, they might help with the outcome that I am trying to get, I don't think it is they way to go about it." A deep sigh, she was starting to understand more and more about what Raidou was. That

Sweat dripping down the side of her head, each breath sharp upon inhale. Was this ever going to end, they just kept coming around every corner. A glance to Freya, she was in the same position, every angle was full of the soldiers. Quickly pulling her shield up as she finds a sword come right at her, she stumbles backwards. This was not good, screaming in the distance from nearly every direction. Eruda was doing what she could, but there was just to many of them. They were even beginning to surround Raidou... Slightly hearing what Freyd said, she was not going to let Raidou die today. It was no
