Freya

Freya takes the time to look at the quest now. Pinging the location and sharing the quest and opening a party. "This does look a bit dangerous but I don't think I really care. At the very least, I get to know what this floor has to offer, and be more prepared if we fail," saying as she looks out past the town showing little paths connected to small islands. The bridge-like paths looked slim but she was not worried about that. She started walking the first bridge with nothing but determination in her motives. "I guess if it gets too dangerous then we can leave but I will not make an exit without a fight. Regardless are you with me or not, or are you too scared to approach this Rhino beast." Freya says these last words with almost a pleading notion to come along. She was not afraid to face whatever this was, and she would try her best either way. Looking to the water as she walks the path toward her destination she sees her reflection. "I need to get better, I have been gone too long and missed so much," Freya says now in a whisper. 

She looks over her shoulder with a grin toward Gaius. "To be more upfront with your comment earlier, yes I would like to give it everything I got. Show it pain even if my damage doesn't get through. I want to get reacquainted with my fighting on something that I can't just one shot. The higher the floor the better." After everything that Gaius has seen from her, she knew she was more than the talkative little girl. With this, she would prove that and in hopes, show that she wasn't the other sister of Eruda that needed to be protected all the time. She knew that Gaius was here just because of the promise he had made Eruda but she wanted to believe that he was there for more than just that. Getting to the warp gate now she steps on with a glance at Gaius saying "Meet you on the other side Typhoon, Floor 24" as her body is lifted and evaporated to the next floor.

After Freya lands, she walks to the quest board, and without a thought of what she was taking, she grabs a random quest from the board and waits.  

"Oh don't get your panties in a bunch, you'll get your real meal. Just wait, it will be the best thing your buds have ever tasted." At this point, she swallows the last of her delightful snack and hops up from her chair. With her hands behind her back now walking past Gaius, with her head up and a grin on her face, she says "Well then I guess you're stuck with me then Typhoon." She chuckles as she starts to walk toward the door. "My fate is in your hands, I wonder if you can handle me." She pushes the door open with her foot, slamming it against the wall outside. "HEY WATCH IT!" the barkeeper yells as she walks out the Bar with her hands still behind her back. "Oh chill grumpy pants. It would have respawned if it shattered," Freya called out behind her. Freya was smiling now knowing that she would get the day to spend with Gaius now. Under all the smirky comments, she was happy. She starts to head toward the warp gate.

Silence filled the room as Freya's thoughts continue on. She looks to the barkeeper as he talks to Gaius which had just sat down next to her. With a smile, she passes 2 of the large honey rolls to Gaius across the table. "Wasn't sure what you liked so I got simple. I loved these back home." Taring off a piece she turns slightly in her chair to face him now. She takes a few minutes in silence to eat her rolls. "Feel free to order something else." She twists her chair forward toward the door eating. "Hmm...It's just so good. God, I've missed this." She looks around as people were staring at her now. "Do you like what you see you creep," they quickly look away and Freya chuckles. Without looking at Gaius she says "I am going to floor 24 after I am done here. Not sure for what quest yet but there will be one if you would like to join me." 

After a bit of mind exhaustion courses through Freya's body, she offered Gaius food after getting sized up by Raidou again assuming now that the very first quest was also Raidou smacking it into oblivion. Seeing that look on Raidou made her ever so curious but she wasn't going to pry on things that may or may not concern her. As she walks into the walls of floor 7 she was eager now to prove not useless to him. Looking for the closest bar, she walks in not even knowing if Gaius had followed her into town. She couldn't think on an empty stomach so Freya quickly orders four large honey rolls, she thinks for a moment. What exactly did Raidou hear from there conversation if anything. The group that she named...Would that set him off. Freya receives and pays for her order and waits at the bar counter hoping that Gaius would show, also hoping that he would join her in this quest she was planning to take soon. She would eat then head to floor 24 to get a challenging quest, to test herself, with or without Gaius at her side.

Freya gives Gaius a smile as she starts walking behind him toward the destination. Only a moment passes before hearing a clank between what sounding like 2 weapons and a burst of sand in the short distance. A chime of their HUD for quest completion. "DAM IT, someone took it ag..." Freya wasn't able to finish her sentence before Raidou comes out of the dusted explosion. Walking past her and Gaius with words that made it sound like he had to be somewhere else right about now. Freya turns to face now Raidou back as he walks away from them. "Great...I think he heard us...how much though..." Red mist follows his footsteps, Freya gets an eerie feeling from him as she looks to Gaius. "I...I think I fucked up...Pissed Raidou off," glancing back to where Raidou was walking...he was gone...just gone..."Fine... your quest, I follow. I will make your food..." Realizing she was focused on Raidou who was no longer there she turns to Gaius with a grin saying "I will make sure it's great. Maybe you can learn a thing or two from me." She quickly gives Gaius a kiss on the cheek before quickly making her escape for the town. "Well do you want food or not, I'm buying." She calls out walking away from him. She gave him that peck for a small thanks and the food would be more...

With a small chuckle, she says "Punch me back into reality..." She takes a handful of water and splashes it into her face. Pushing her hair back with her hand, she takes another deep breath. "Make it a promise and hurt when it happens, only then will I allow it." Glancing to Gaius with a grin. She was not afraid of pain. It's was part of what made her better herself in ways that others couldn't. "Thank you, Gaius." His words actually gave her insight. Talking about it definitely helped and for that, she felt like she owed him more. "I guess now I owe you a full-fledge meal." She looks back down at her reflection. Repeating his words now in her mind she smiles saying "If you can choose to be on the flip side of things then I can choose not to let this control me. I will become stronger because of it." With a small sigh, she gets to her feet. With a handheld out toward Gaius, she says "I am sorry for interrupting your morning functions, but if you don't mind could you keep whatever this was under the radar." She didn't want to tell him why she wanted him to come but she was really glad that he did show up. God knows what would have happened if he wasn't here to stop her.

The gust of wind given as Gaius reverse grabs her wrist was actually a bit relaxing in itself. Taking his advice knowing that it could become out of control if she was not careful, remembering what happened with Sam. Freya pulls her wrist from his grip and sits in the sand right then. Taking a deep breath in as she looks to the small puddle, her reflection. She starts thinking now as she had not gotten a chance to do this since her Gemini was consumed...Revenge...not an option, the anger would just spread and she was sure that it would reflect badly against her actions toward others. She had just joined the guild and the last thing she needed was to be benched as Gaius said. Taking another slow breath in, then out with her eyes closed. "I am not sure I can fully let go but I am learning to control it...They called themselves the Laughing Coffins..." Freya opens her eyes and touches the small pool of liquid with her fingertips. Seeming calmer than before she looks up to Gaius, "How do you know the calming stuff..." she asked with sincere eyes. She wasn't going to mention the voice in her head because he would then surely think she was crazy.

Freya being zoned out hears his first mocking words with a muffled tone. Making a smirky comment, something about a bug...ignored. Gaius grabs her shoulder and in reaction, she grabs his wrist without thinking about it. Him saying what he did, Freya's grip on his wrist loosens. "That is something I am not sure how to do," she was hesitant to talk to Gaius cause from previous conversations with him, he didn't want to hear her sappy story. Since then though her sappy story turned into a fear that she would never have imagined of having. Just speaking about it made her on edge. Freya stops walking when he says that the snake could wait. "I...I remembered how I got into that cave, thanks to my Gemini..." Her body filled with anger, fear. Emotions that she never felt. She didn't get scared ever but this memory scared the shit out of her. "There are people out there that are taking lower-level players like me and using then for god knows what," she tries to explain with little words so that it would make some sense. With pure fear in her eyes now thinking about the vision and what she saw, she looks to Gaius.

Freya looks back with brow slightly risen. "I may be the idiot for now but your the one that took a million years to be ready. So much so that I had to come here to grab your ass." With a smirk back toward him and a chime from her HUD after already excepting the intel from Raidou. The quest marker was given and she looks to her map. Without looking at Gaius she says "Love huh? That what you are calling me now...Interesting choice." Her voice sounded a bit different from others previously. "Well let's get to it then shall we, you don't want to keep your bear waiting." She looks back to Gaius with a smile before heading to the destination. 

After a bit of walking her feet hit some sand. Right then her vision goes blank. An image pops into her head, one of them from before. A shadowed body on the ground being drug away from her and the same words from the male that was doing so. A woman, red hair in the distance chuckling at the view. Freya comes back to reality and grabs her head yelling "GET OUT OF MY HEAD" as she shuts her eyes tightly. After a moment, her eyes flash open...Dilated like before this time with a bit more control through having known what happened last time this feeling came about and being awake this time, changes everything. "Let's move, we have a snake to kill." Freya moves quicker toward the destination, her focus and words seemed to be aimed at the completion of the quest now. Mainly wanting to kill something...

Standing at the door frame now she watches Gaius yell at the lot of people, she can't help but chuckle. Whistling past her with a scent of spice to his passing. The words said rang in her head. With a huff as he exits his shop as the other people run out and scatter. Walking to his side as he gazed out toward the scenery, "That would require a camera of which we obviously don't have here..." saying with a smirk on her face and a small whisper to his ear now saying "Mental picture taken," with a chuckle as she heads down the hill. She opens her HUD and fights with it slightly sending a message to Raidou in response to his: 

Quote

Take the quest then and sent us a party invite and quest share. We will meet you there. I have the knucklehead.
Freya

"We should be getting a share for the quest shortly. We will meet Raidou at the location to take this thing down. I don't want him waiting for us any longer than he has too." Freya starts walking down the hill knowing that they would have to at least be on solid ground for the journey. "OH and I know, I am working on that dam meal and I will make sure you like it too."

Freya's eyes flash open the next morning after defeating her Gemini. Her eyes not yet in full vision, she glances around and sees that Eruda had left her shop already. Taking a deep breath and one particular memory comes back into her fragile stated mind. A face...young...Then the argument that she remembered previously with her mother. Another face, older but the same, Griswold. Freya clings her hands to her head and brings her knees to her chest from where she sits. The memory plays on repeat with nothing to add to the content. A voice, "Hmm... So much stink in the air. So much sorrow... If you wish to walk forward, I think it's high time you take out the trash." A sinister cackle and a hiss. Freya looks up quickly to find no one in the room with her. Confused, but listens to these words knowing that it was true. In order to move past this, she needed to deal with it before it becomes a problem. Getting up from her sleeping area she decides that today would also be the day to get her shop up and running. Sending a quick message to Griswold saying:

Quote

Join me, Floor one...
Freya

She exits the shop and heads to the quest board in the beginning town...As she waits for a response she eats what she grabbed from the guild hall just a while ago.

Freya | HP:240/240 | EN:24/24 | DMG:8 | MIT:18 | EVA:1 | ACC:3

Freya sets into a dream state...

Bodies lay limp, it's dark, an empty void with very dim light. A demonic chuckling, turning into high pitch laughter. A blond hair, blue-eyed male forms from the shadows of black mist. "WHO ARE YOU," Freya calls out. Another demonic chuckle comes from the mouth of this thing. It was soft, but it sounded like death within it. Freya looks around her and it was nothing but darkness around her. Her blood still boiled from the Gemini and she started to be confused as of what was going on right now. Where was she???

"Welcome to my domain... Are you frightened?..." The laughter picks up again in a myriad of short cackles. "Why would you like to know, are you worth my boon..." A sinister smile as the silhouette of a male clutches its right eye with unceasing chuckles between that sicken one's heart. Freya pulls her Scythe and swings toward this entity. It dissipates into black mist and disappears into darkness with the hollowed exhale leaving with him.

Freya's eyes flash open, she was holding her scythe similar to Sam's neck against a wall like she had the Gemini's shortly before. A muffled call out of her name. She ignores it, her eyes are dilated like before pushing the blade deeper against Sam's skin. Eruda rushes from behind her and pulls her shield. Upon pulling Freya off Sam, her scythe back swings at Eruda now, hitting her shield as sparks fly around them. As Freya's eyes link with Eruda's, Freya's eyes turn normal and tears start to weld up in her eyes. Freya drops her weapon and drops to her knees.

Eruda and Sam hear the scream outs from Freya and run to aid her. When they get there she was out cold. Laying on the wet ground soaked from head to toe. Eruda becomes very worried and Sam picks up Freya's weapon. Eruda picks up her sister and carries her back through the forest. They both decide that Sam's house would be more comfortable for Freya at the moment. After some travel, they walk into Sam's house and lay Freya down on the bed. Removing her armor to make her more comfortable and able to sleep whatever happened in that forest, hoping that Freya was okay. Sam walks to her kitchen and grabs a glass of water for all three of them and hands Eruda one of them. Sam sets the other two glasses on a small table next to the bed and pulls up two chairs. Eruda sits in one of them and holds Freya's hand while she slept. Sam sits in the other waiting.

Freya stands there staring into the soul of what would claim to be her own. The silence between her and the shadow was eerie. The Gemini breaks the silence by saying "Are you going to kill me?" Freya's hands were shaking at this point as she was fighting her inner self. "Gah," Freya outbursts and removes her weapon from the Gemini as it falls to the ground on its knees. Freya's blood was still boiling as she starts to pace back and forth. The images continue to take view in her mind as she does so. "It would be dumb to kill you, it would be like murdering myself. I know that your right and that I needed to know but DAM IT!! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I DO PUT YOU IN A GRAVE!" She screams as she starts to walk away. The shadow Freya turns to data at that moment and moves toward Freya. She consumes it into her being as one before screaming out again. The storm and mist disappear at that moment that the Gemini did but Freya was only getting more pissed. Eventually, the content flowing through her mind became too much for her to handle all at one and she falls to the ground...out cold...

Before she could say anymore, all the visions that she had previously seen flashes back into her mind like a rapid speed of a book that shows a story upon each quick flip. Freya yells out in pain as she closes her eyes tightly and holds her one hand against her forehead. After the montage of the pictures flows through her mind, the burning sensation returns, as she feels like every bone in her body was on fire. Her eyes flash open and before actually realizing what she was doing she lunges toward her enemy with her right hand at the very edge of her hilt where the blade would connect, and the other hand gripping the point of her blade as data fills her hand that would be blood if not just a game. The middle part of her blade glows as it connects to the Gemini's chest. Freya does not stop until they both hit a tree. Freya now stands holding her blade as data pours from her left hand and the Gemini's health depletes to basically nothing.

Freya takes damage from her own blade while holding the tip. 10 points of damage

It a similar tone the other one speaks "We needed to know, to move forward from the past. Now that we know, what will we do about it?" Freya angrily charges again and carves her scythe to the front of the creature. A flash of the shadowed body again forms in her vision, blocking her view. Then back to reality, a word screams in her head LIER, and her vision was back on the Gemini. Taking a small advantage it strikes against Freya as she did with it. Freya is pushed slightly back by the momentum of the blow. Freya stands there staring at the creature, holding her chest. It was becoming a bit overwhelming for her. "I will not fall to your words alone. You will need to hit me harder if you are wanting to win against me, you coward." Freya stands up straight and takes a deep breath against the damaged air around her. In the far distance behind her she here her name being called. I sounded like Eruda...But from everything she has seen in this small moment, Freya ignores it, glaring at herself.

Freya charges at the thing again but it smacks her blade away, as Freya's scythe is forced upwards. The Gemini sees and opening and attempts to use it for its advantage. This doesn't go in its favor though because the moment the Gemini swings toward Freya, she quickly brings her weapon downward and causes the two scythes to tangle together with sparks flying in every which direction. Freya twirls her blade aiming down and slams both of there weapons to the ground causing dirt to erupt from the hole that was made. "I will not stand here listen to your sappy speech about me...US," Freya says as she jumps back a little bit and slams her foot into the Gemini's chest causing it to stumble back enough to disconnect their blades from one another. "Why now? Why did you show me those visions? I was doing fine before then." Freya wipes a tear from her cheek before placing both hands on her hilt again.

Freya turns slowly as her chuckle now turns into a demented sounding noise. With one swift motion stikes an uppercut toward the thing that now she realized looked like a darker version of her. Her eyes were still black with the burning under her bones. She had the will to kill, but was it worth it? After her strike gets through, the Gemini tries to mimic Freya and uppercuts her as well but Freya pulls her weapon up causing the hilts to collide together. Freya's hilt slips ever so slightly causing the creature bladed edge to scratch her face and hit her armored shoulder causing damage to it as well. The Gemini's face cringes in pain but they both stand there staring into each other's eyes. Both not ready to give in, both ready to give it their all to destroy the other. Freya quickly pushes the thing off her hilt and with a small twirl, the bladed piece was resting against her thigh.

"Who the hell are you..." Freya barks out in anger now toward this entity who so gladly wishes to join her presence now. "I am you, of course, I am you and all of the things that you wish to stay locked away." Freya's eyes close tight as it continues to talk saying "Poor little me, everyone has to save me from myself." At this moment Freya's eyes flash open, her eyes become overlapped in black, dark..." I do not need you to tell me what I already know you sick bastard," her words starts calm before turning into almost a yell as she starts running toward the shadow, ready to give it everything she had. The Gemini disappears with Freya's outburst and reappears behind her attempting to hit her from behind. With a large Scythe like her own, the creature hits Freya in the back as it screams out in pain. Freya begins to chuckle herself.

"YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS," Yet another vision takes her sight. She is in a field watching the male body get drug away from her. "YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS." "See I already have, you and your friend will not see the light of day again. For we are the laughing coffin, Take them away," it says before Freya gets hit in the head and falls unconscious. Her vision becomes hers again. She touches the back of her head as a tear falls down her cheek. From behind her, a chuckle that turns into an evil laugh. Freya pulls her weapon out and turns quickly toward the continued laughter. "I am weak and I suppress what I do not want to remember so that I do not have to feel," the laughter gets darker and deeper as a shadow come into view. It slowly walks toward Freya as her blood continues to boil hotter than before.

Freya slowly gets to her feet and holds her head. She can't find the words right now so she just lets her mind do the talking. "YOU RUIN EVERYTHING, I HATE YOU," more words echo around her this time. Her eyes start to dart in every direction to figure out where it was coming from, but no luck at all. Another vision takes over, blast to the past...A photo image of her father pops into view. Seconds later, Freya as a young child, screaming at her mother, "WHY DID YOU MAKE HIM LEAVE? He left on his own. LIER, YOU RUIN EVERYTHING AND I HATE YOU." Her mind brings another photo into view. An older looking man that looks similar to her fathers younger stature. Betting glance...Griswold...Her eyesight becomes hers again. Holding both hands to her head now shaking it, eyes closed tight. Sweat forms on her head as her skin feels the burn within her chest. Raining still, thunder and lightning rumble in the skies above. 

Freya's mind flashes back to that same image of the male shadow on the ground and then back to reality. "GIVE HIM BACK" another voice from the front of her that again was not her own. Another vision, the same shadow laying on the ground again but this time being drug away from Freya. At this time Freya was heated, so much anger came forth in this brief moment. Freya passed out and her vision goes blank. Laying there in the rain...alone...or so she thought. Her vision comes into view but something is different. There is still rain and fog but the noise of the storm was muted. A figure appears, long white hair, slender in build. "Rise, you do not want to be down at a time like this. Remember these memories for they will make you stronger. Wake my child and face your demons." 

Freya's eye closes tight for a moment before flashing open to the storm around her.

"Could I really be so stupid," a voice the same as hers but not her words came from the distance ahead. Underneath all the storming noises she hears branches breaking that were not from the wind. Right then a flash comes into view, with that lightning flash a vision, a picture of Freya and a blacked-out shadowed man laying on the ground in front of her. The picture leaves her view and her eyes come back to the misted over forest around her. Between the fog and the rain, it was hard for Freya to see anything. "I am so pathetic, I couldn't save him even if I tried," more words that were not hers from behind her now with another broken branch sound. Freya's head lashes to behind her but she sees nothing. Between the visions, she was seeing and not being able to see anyone attached to the talking she was actually starting to get a bit scared, confused, and very much on edge.

An echoing crash around the skies above now. The fog had finally made full form, consuming each breath that Freya would take. The rain fell heavy against the plated armor as the winds grew stronger with every stride of step. Each moment she grew more impatient to find this creature that hid in the shadows of mist. In the silence around her, she could hear some whispers. At first, she just thought that they were mere echos of the wind hitting nature just right. As she walked forward though, the whispers became soft talking but she was still unable to make out any words. A shadow figure crosses right in front of her and then nothing. Freya stops dead and pulls out her weapon, not out of fear though. She would not take the shadow she just saw lightly and right then after a burst of laughter behind her takes place, then nothing. No shadow, no whispers, and no voices could be heard. Freya knew now that she was no longer alone in these parts of the woods.
