Teayre

“Frontliners…” The red head muttered, “In short we are, although…” She gave a side long glance at Opal, “We have our differences.” Swallowing Teayre was about to continue talking when she felt and heard a soft thud on the back of her head. Turning her eyes narrowed, as if she was embodying death itself. Her left foot went forwards as she crouched. “NO!” The red head yells. Falling to a knee, her blade clattering to the floor. Repeatedly she punched the floor of Aincrad, her health bar beginning to slowly creep down. “DON’T!” Teayre’s voice carried through the clearing. She looked at Opal, her eyes streaming. “Please… Finish it…” She implored the woman, although she knew that it wouldn’t happen. “You are right Opal I am a coward.” She let her words hang in the air. As her eyes flicked around to the attention she had obviously drawn herself. “Callie... Kun… I’m sorry.”

@Morgenstern @Opal

The red hair girl nodded at her husband. “Well-” She stopped as a greeting came from her left. She nodded. “Domarus.” Her eyes flared as she looked at the boy, turning Teayre nodded at Calrex. “I’ll be back later, if I find anything I’ll put it in our inventory. With that the crimson maiden walked away.  Her blade sheathed as her cloak swayed around her ankles. The pumping of her heart could be heard in her ears, her breathing was quick and shallow. After several minutes of walking the red head stopped. She glanced back before sinking against a tree letting out a long sigh. She drew her blade her eyes staring intently at the metal. Letting out a scream she sliced the tree in front of her cutting it down, her menu pinged saying she had found some noble wood. Adding it to her inventory the red head sheathes her blade. Clenching and unclenching her fists, “Close… So Close…” She mutters quietly to herself.

Teayre watched the two boys fighting the various mobs of the floor securing animal fat. They were finally done and had begun to search for wood themselves. Her eyes flicked to one side as she realised that she hadn’t done any collecting. Instead she had found herself watching the boys fight the boars. Her thumb pressed against the hilt of her blade. Forcing herself to turn away she grits her teeth bringing her menu up the red head changes from her searching gear back to her fighting gear. The flames of her armor curled around her again striding towards the duo she calls out to them.

“Domarus, Evander.” Biting her lip she waited for a moment before continuing. “I’m afraid, I had some bad or perhaps good news.” Tapping the black leather on the hilt of her blade with different fingers in quick succession the girl continues. “This event quest, so far I’ve kept quiet about it. However I am taking the main event with my family. Since you two will be on your own. You’re more than welcome on our ship. We’ll probably be better if we get all the animal fat we need now, and I’ll get the wood with my husband later.”She fell silent waiting for their responses, swallowing Teayre stretched out all her fingers  before clenching them tightly around the handle of her blade.

“Not really… I’ve got to say the only time I’ve truly felt like I’ve enjoyed the front lines was when…” Her eyes cast down as she looked to one side. “Sorry…” As her husband’s arms wrapped around her Teayre pressed her forehead against the steel clad chest of Calrex. “I am trying to change, I swear… The thrill of fighting though, my life being on the line…” She stopped talking, “Does he really want to hear this?” Pushing away just enough to let her gaze up into her husband’s eyes. She batted them a few times. “It just gets to me sometimes, its been that way since Beleram… No before that…”

Stepping back, this time breaking the embrace between her and Calrex. Teayre sighs. “It’s been since I lost Liss hasn’t it? Perhaps just perhaps… Her raven hair…” Her voice was quiet, withdrawn. Looking down at her hands the red head turns them over. “I’m no longer that crimson maiden am I Cal?” She asks her husband her voice catching in her throat. Without waiting for a reply Teayre begins to walk forwards disappearing into the brush. Kneeling down she rummages  underneath one of the bushes pulling out a pile of rare wood. Standing she walks back to Calrex, “Cal… I’ve been thinking. I might give up on the frontlines… Drop out support the lower players for a while. Help them with what needs helping. I’ve recently helped Domarus and Evander out gathering a load of materials for this event to… Would you mind if they came along? Even if it’s just to help us get the required bits? Not necessarily joining us as permanent members though…”

The red head had heard Calrex’s sigh. She paused her eyes narrowing at her husband as he began to lecture her. “Tact? Honesty?” The girl closed her eyes for a moment as she looked at her husband, nodding along to what he was saying. “So… That’s why.”  Looking down the girl kicks her feet for a moment as she heard some words.

“I took a life that night Teayre.”

Eyes raising quicker than she drew the muramasa . “You killed someone?” Her jaw had dropped she stepped forwards just as a blow came in. Her husband deflected it without a second hesitation. “Cal…” A tear had begun to roll down her cheek. “S-sorry…”

Just as she apologised the red head saw the various mobs moving in to strike her husband. Teayre didn’t hesitate and quickly activated her Farrant Full Moon sword art cutting through the mobs. As their pixels dispersed she sheathed her blade and moved to her husband wrapping her arms around his waist. “Callie-kun.” She whispered squeezing gently. “You are strong, you… You’ve helped and supported me for so long. Let me be here for you.”

Teayre had been watching the two boys fight the mobs for some time. As she watched the red head’s finger was twitching, as if it had a mind of its own. “Evander and Domarus.” Teayre replied inclining her head. “Right. Leave the wood to me there’s also something else Domarus.” Her eyes narrowed as she looked at him. “I am not your dear.” Her thumb pressed against the tsuba of the Ketsueki Kanashiki. The girl stopped, frozen. Taking a deep breath she moved her thumb and let it drop. "Sorry about that.” Turning Teayre started to make for the tree line her feet crunching the leaves that had fallen to the floor below her. Bringing up her menu the girl swaps out Akuma’s Vein and the Finding Stone for two of her other trinkets Finder’s Keepers and Searching Eye. As they materialized on her body the girl noticed her vision clearing up suddenly. “Right now to find the wood.”

(I will try and post every other post to get as much awesome wood as I can)

So much love, that persuasion roll. Nat 20.

Looking down over at the Beatbox, Teayre listened to him as he said that the sword was stained. “Swords are tools Beat-“ The red head began before Itzal had jumped  in front knocking the blade away. “Itzal.” Teayre said firmly stepping forwards pressing a hand on his shoulder. “Beatbox. If you want to repent, you will have to suffer with what you have done.” Her voice was monotonous she glanced at the black haired boy she sighed for a moment. Suddenly there was a fire in her voice, anger even. “Celestial Ascendents. Both of you.” She was snapping, “You have a guild Beatbox. You have a strong friend. Sort it out, be strong for them and survive this game.” Moving her hand off Itzal she clenched it into a fist. “If I had given up when my sister died, I would not have met Calrex. Beatbox.” She looked directly into the boys sky blue eyes her own eyes narrowing. “You need to think. Soon enough you’ll face what most Player Killer’s face. You’ll either have Laughing Coffin come to recruit you. Opal may come to kill you. Or you stick it out with your friends and trust them."

@Itzal @Beatbox

The crimson maiden hadn’t heard the reply from Itzal. As the dust settled she glanced over to see him struggling to defend himself against four more wights. Her eyes flicked from the scout to the knight, both of them had engaged in combat against different groups of wights. Rolling her eyes Teayre kept her blade pointing outwards as she started to jog slowly then speed up towards Itzal. Her feet kicking off from the ground her muscles twisting. Turning. The blade flashed out striking each of the wights quickly dispersing. “Ebony Scout, Itzal. Scout, don’t fight. See if you can find the room that the quest boss is in.” Her voice was a lot gentler than before, her eyes were softer to. “He does want to help, biting off more than he can chew though I wonder what level he is now.” The thoughts rushed through the red heads mind. “So what’s the guild then? I’ve not seen that symbol… Wait no that’s the guild Ariel’s husband is in right?”

Teayre looked at her husband, jaw dropping for a moment. “Calrex. If I wanted to I could have killed you. It wouldn’t have had to been physical.” Clenching her fists Teayre looks at her husband directly in the eyes. “Words. They’re just as powerful than any blade, if not more so.” Turning her face away she could feel the warmth rushing to her cheeks. “Why did I even consider that?” She muttered, bitterness and anger covering her tones. Glancing back up at her husband she pushes past him, bringing her menu she equips her battle gear again.

“I don’t want the conversation another time. You’ll tell me now Calnus!” Her eyes narrowed her stand widening. Nostrils flaring Teayre folded her arms and stared down her husband, her partner, her lover. “You will tell me right this second, or I’ll make the most emotional point of my life here in Aincrad my graveyard.” She tapped her foot, slowly speeding it up.

 Teayre eyed Opal up. She had wanted to do something to this women for a long time. Her hand gripped around the black covered hilt of the Ketseuki Kanashiki. “You sure Opal. I might slip.” She questioned the woman. Flicking her hair as she looks at Bhairyuu and Morgenstern she nods to them both, her eyes taking in their equipment and their gear. “The face of adversity.” Shaking her head The girl states simply. “First rule is you would make sure you are prepared. Taking on Opal, that’s not something even I would want to do. Here.” As she pulled up her shops inventory Teayre retrieved several items from there. The Emerald Ring and Shroud of Winter she chucked at Bhairyuu.

“Now then, every boss fight comes with some Tactics. At the moment she can strike anyone of us.” Teayre eyed Opal. “Although she’s most likely to go for me.” Her eyes met Opal’s Teayre waited for a moment. “You in the armour. Taunt her to get her attention as soon as I’ve struck. Pervert you strike once she’s stunned.”

The crimson maiden didn’t hesitate. Her foot kicked off as she charged at Opal her blade arcing downwards as she activated one of her most simple attacks. Fell Crescent. The blade  cut through Opal, dealing minimal damage the stun taking effect almost immediately. Teayre leant in her lips coming close to the person’s ears. “Let me help you.” She whispered so that only the woman she had attacked could hear her, before quickly kissing her cheek and then leaping back. “NOW YOU TWO!” She screamed at the two players either side of her.

As the armoured man turned towards her, Teayre put her hand on her hip. Glaring at him her eyes narrowed. “First things first. One. Why did you ask me to help you?” She stepped forwards her sword pointing to the ground. “Two. Don’t be annoyed. The grunt gave it away. You should have seen four normal animal fat. Unless your skull is as thick as your helmet.” Her words were blunt but the girl didn’t want anything left in the air.

Bending her knee Teayre slots her weapon into the ground, folding her arms she taps the floor as she waits for a response. Her eyes flickered over to Evander who was busy gathering wood. “Three. What are your names? Four. You’d be better off letting me do the gathering as I imagine you two would be better at the fighting, especially when you can get the fat from weak mobs.”

As she finished speaking the red head looked Domarus in the eyes through his helmet, the red tint like steel.

“Things you didn’t do? So you lost your rag and killed them out of anger?” Teayre spat at the boy. “Itzal, shut it.” The crimson maiden snapped. “You don’t know what it means to have taken a life.” Slowly the red head raised a blade pausing for a second as if she was going to activate a sword art. Looking down her face was one of anger, one of hate.

“Beatbox, You are repenting for your actions as a player killer. You took a life in anger. For that…” The sword came down swiftly point first into the ground just skimming the hair of the blonde. “I understand.” She smiled at the boy her eyes soft, “First off you’re not cursed, there’s a quest that you can do to get rid of the cursor.” Placing her hand on the shoulder of Beatbox, “Secondly, you struck out in anger. In the real world that usually means a fight, a black eye. Here it means death.”

The girl looked him directly in his eyes the softness fading as her eyes pierced into his. “Thirdly. I’ve killed for fun. I’ve killed for revenge. I’ve killed for self-defence. Yet here I stand.” Letting her hand drop the red head glances at Itzal, “No matter what, there’s always someone who will stand by you Beatbox. There is always someone who refuses to leave your side regardless even if you have tried to kill them.” Her hands clenched into a fist as the girl gritted her teeth. “You do need to be cautious though…”

Permission from Beatbox to join :D

The screams had reached Teayre’s ears. It was the screams she knew well. Player Killing. Pulling Akuma’s Vein up around her, the flames seemed to wrap around the body of the petite girl. She walked along Ketseuki Kanashiki in its sheath held in her left hand, reminiscent of when she wielded the Muramasa. She grinned. The red head stepped through the fields spotting the tell tale signs of an orange cursor. The sides of her lips twitched for a moment. “Beatbox.” There were several other players who had started to peer in. The Amaranth Rose. No the Crimson Maiden spoke her voice one of command. “The lot of you scram, or there will be more deaths.” Drawing her blade in her hand as if to prove a point, she struck the ground in front of one of the players. “GO!” She shouted.

As the players disappeared leaving only herself, Itzal and the new pker Beatbox. “My, My. Beat the Box.” She taunted the blonde, “What happened to make you want to join me.” Her eyes were like steel the blade was held out to one side her hand twisting pointing the sharp of the blade towards the duo in front of her. “Itzal.” Accepting the presence of one of the Paladin’s of a high and upcoming guild. “So Beatbox. Spit it out. What did you do? Judging from the fact you’re in tears. It’s your first kill.” Her lips curled upwards, the spark in her eyes fading. “It’s definitely an experience, isn’t it? Tell me, did they fight back?”

The red head had been silent. Why would they have asked her to help of all the people they could have? Her tongue clicked on the rough of her mouth as she eyed up the person who had asked her. A red head. Two handed battle axe. Black Armour. The girl simply raised an eyebrow as he gave the command to get started.  She stepped forwards her foot hitting the ground Akuma’s vein flicking up around her as she shot forwards her charge skill activating. The Finding stone glowing a bright white as it activated alongside the Amaranth Rose’s sword art.

The blade made four quick cuts, one on each of the boars. Standing in the middle Teayre sheathed the Ketsueki Kanashiki. Her eyes glared at the boars around her as they made their move. The tusks striking the red head, who simply laughed as the tusks made contact with her. The armour deflecting the majority of the damage. The final bits scraping through. She felt the red gashes close as quickly as they had been made, her battle healing easily rejuvenating the damage. Her tongue stuck slightly out from her lips before the girl made a concerted effort to return it into her mouth. “Mr Black. You’re up!” She calls to Domarus.

“What familiar?” Teayre mused quietly running her hand over the Ketsueki Kanashiki, “I’m honestly not sure Cal, I was going to see what I would get.” Looking up at the canopy the red head sighed for a moment, “If I can I’d probably like to get something like a raven maybe?” Shrugging Teayre made her way over to one of the nearby trees she began to rummage around the bottom of it find a small bundle of normal wood. Huffing the girl stands up.

“I really wonder what I’m going to do.”

Her eyes went wide as she pondered before the crunching sound of feet sounded behind her. Jumping out of her skin the girl whips around, a large sigh of relief as Calrex appears behind her. “Seriously, everytime Calnus.” Glowering at her husband she gently pushes against his chest before wrapping her arms around him. “I’m sorry I’ve been so out of it again.”

“You’re still here?” Teayre muttered as glared up at Aereth. “Easy Tea.” Standing up she gave a small smile to the person in front of her. “Sorry Aereth. I’m Teayre.” She says taking the offered hand. “The party? I’d like to but…” Pausing for a moment the red head shook her head, “I can’t. Safezone. Although.” Squinting her eyes shut for a moment. “Wait, ignore me it’s not a safezone just mobs tend to avoid this area.” Taking the lead Teayre begins to walk across the ice of the frozen lake. She saw Opal, the masamune gave it away.

Her walk turned into a sprint as she skidded to a halt just in time to hear the white haired girl challenge the two players to a duel.  She heard Opal’s comment. “Opal, want me to help them?” Teayre offered her voice sarcastic, the finger gently stroking the hilt of her blade. “Make things a bit fairer.” Her eyes flickered for a second, as if a fire reignited inside them.

@Aereth @Opal

Teayre looked around the bushes again, her breathing slow as she carefully watched the undergrowth for signs of any more mobs. Satisfied the red head swapped out her combat gear for her searching gear. “I know, but they should at least wait to die. I mean come on Cal!” Rolling her eyes at her husband, the red head raises her hand to Searcher’s Eye adjusting it slightly she lets it go. “I’ll look for that dungeon in a second.”

“About Hirru Calrex.” She paused for a moment looking at the bluenette dead in the eye. “I wanted to ask you all, I really did but it was something I had to do. Whether anyone else agrees. The way Macradon treated him at the boss raid. It made my blood boil.” Turning left Teayre ducks into a darker part of the undergrowth. “That apart. Let’s get a move on. I’m planning on getting a familiar soon enough. Not sure what yet though, I’ll see what colour I decide to go.” A small giggle escaped the red head’s lips.

Oinky. Words words words miss you words words. <3 QQ

“Names. Titles.” Teayre quietly muses. “Cal do you remember that really old movie? Back when we were kids?” Stopping turning to look at her husband she narrows her eyes. “It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.” She let the words hang there. “I duelled Opal the other day, that masked figure was her at the dance competition, I’m sure of it the style of fighting was too similar so was her voice.” Her fingers pushed her flame red hair back over her shoulder, tucking it behind her ear. “She told me that you two had spoken, that I was on my final warning.”

The girl clenched her fist. “Calrex. Who I am underneath doesn’t matter. I’m a killer, that much is a given.” Tears began to streak down her face. “I wanted to end it with you. I’ve wanted to do that for so long, to save you the pain of watching my corruption. No matter how much I pushed you away you fought back. You were determined to stay by me.” Dropping to her knee Teayre peered up at her husband. “I have even contemplated killing you…” Her voice was quiet, almost silent as she muttered those last words. “I’m sorry. I didn’t want you to see me like this.”

Standing the red head runs off disappearing into the brush. She glances left and right searching for a place to hide. Skidding to a halt by some branches the red head pushes them aside, finding a hollow opening in the tree disappearing into it she finds herself stood in the entrance way to a dungeon.

“N-nothing…” She kicked the ground slightly, before turning her head to Calrex. “After Malethis, the way he was commanding the groups. It showed potential. He wasn’t stupid. He worked things through. He was there on time and… I’ve given him a jade badge.” Teayre let her voice fall silent as she took a step back. “Sorry… I know we’re supposed to consult each other on this. I’m not sure if he realises what it means or not though.” She took a few steps alongside her husband before stopping and glaring over her should at several more panthers that bounded out to greet them. “For crying out loud!” The red head cried out. “We’re trying to have a conversation.” Without waiting for Calrex to move Teayre dashed forwards her blade a blur yet again as she cut more of the creatures down. More animal fat appeared in front of her and the red head dismissed it again

The girl couldn’t help but laugh at the nonchalance of her husband. Just casually bending down and picking up some more noble wood. She raised an eyebrow as more movement could be heard from behind. “Seriously. What is it now?” The girl muttered before turning around letting her charge skill take her forwards avoiding the dripping fangs from the spiders that lunged at her. The blade of her sword sang as she cut into the spiders easily finishing them off and pocketing some more of the animal fat. She sheathes the blade for a second time and starts to walk back towards her husband. “Hopefully they’ll leave us alone for a bit.” The girl mutters. “Cal.” She paused for a moment, “I’ve been meaning to ask. What are your thoughts on Hirru?” Stopping a few steps away from the bluenette Teayre looks him in the eyes. Her legs shaking as she clenched her fists.

The low guttural growl came from the other side of the path yet again, this time a large black cat bounded out towards Calrex. Its paws swinging towards him.  The red head smirked as the beasts claws didn’t even scratch her husband’s armour. Without hesitating the girl shot forwards her charge skill activating. As she was midstride three more panthers had leapt towards her husband Teayre rocked onto the balls of her feet changing her stance as she began to activated her aoe sword art. Butterfly Illusion. The blade rippled and cut through each of the mobs before the red head came to halt. The four creatures burst into pixels as she stood smiling. Adding the Normal animal fat into their inventory she hugs her husband. “It could have been worse I guess.” Shrugging she sheathes the blade taking the man’s hand as they continue onwards into the darkness of the night.

As her feet brushed the leaf strewn ground Teayre looked at her husband. Huffing for a moment she shrugs as she glances at Calrex. “So Deforestation?” The red head ran her fingers through her hair, “What about a dungeon afterwards as well?” Without looking at her husband, the red head begins winding her way through the trees to a nearby village. One without a safezone. “If we head to Rusk, I should be able to get the quest there. Considering you usually have to go to the main settlement to get the quest.” Stating it matter of factly the red head raises an eyebrow at her husband before shaking her head. “Listen Calrex. I don’t care who I am. Narlia. Teayre. The Crimson Maiden. The Amaranth Rose. They’re names. They all mean the same. What I need to do is start fresh, completely change. Use the games colour schemes to completely change my spectrum. Teayre’s lips twitched at her little twist of words. Even as she equipped her searching items, Finder's Keepers and Searching Eye.
