Teayre

She looked at her husband nodding. “Hopefully.” The red head says. Eyes narrowing Teayre leans slightly considering the foliage past her husband. The reveal skill and her night vision highlighting the area in front of her. “Where are you?” She mutters to herself. “Calrex. I think we’re being followed.” The red head quickly changed out her searching equipment for her combat attire. “I’ll see what it is in a moment, you keep looking for wood. You’ve always been the better gatherer.”

Flashing a smile a her husband Teayre draws her blade and begins to walk towards the leaves her eyes scanning from side to side, the leaves offering no protection from her reveal skill. Squinting she thought she could see paw prints in the dirt. A low growl rumbled from the otherside of the path. Teayre turned her eyes glazing over the dense underbrush there and unable to see anything she rests on one leg. Her lips pulled tight. “Something’s following us.”

“Itzal.” Teayre stated bluntly, “The last time we really saw each other was at my shop, in which your bought something from me.” She turned her heel making a dip in the snow the red head began to walk off the Ketsuki Kanasiki drawing in a smooth fluid motion and resting on her shoulders. A howling came from the mountain nearby and the red head broke into a run. The snow began to hit harder as the Amaranth Rose got to the bottom of the steps leading up to the mountain. Glancing over her shoulder she saw two figures in the distance running to catch up to her. Turning her head Teayre spots four of the Frost Wights on the steps a short distance away from her. Her foot hitting the bottom step the red head activates her charge ability and performs a quick couple of slashes. Downing the first group of the wights.

Turning her head Teayre spotted her husband walking towards her, the girl grinned at him. “Cal.” She said before bounding over to him and returning his wave with a tightly wrapped hug around the waist. “Hey.” She mutters quietly to him before letting go and turning around. “You’re right, mostly material gathering, bit of monster killing and perhaps a dungeon?” The crimson haired girl asks glancing over her shoulder. It’d been quite some time since she had been this relaxed and Teayre wanted things to go smoothly. Especially after the conflict that the two of them had last time. She swallowed as her mind went back to the sixth floor. Shaking her head the girl rummages around in some more bushes this time finding a bundle of rare wood. “What do you think? Get the animal fat from the mobs in the dungeon? I should be able to find us one easily enough.” Brushing her hair behind her ear the girl gave a weak smile to her partner.

“Crimson Maiden? Only a few people have ever called me that Hirru, How did you hear that name?” Her eyes stared deeper into the jade of her companion’s eyes. Searching, piercing him. Smirking she lets go of his hand and turns away. Her left hand gently fingered the hilt of the Ketsueki Kanashiki. “What did this man know…”  Tapping her foot the red head, lets out a short hum. “The worms you’re thinking of? Tell me then what worms are you thinking of?”

Her eyebrow raised her hand falling still as she rested her weight on her left leg. “I’d like to know all I can, I also want to apologise. For dumping you in the deep end like that at the boss fight.” The red head closed her eyes for a second. “You’re good at adapting to different situations. You’re brave as well.” The red head opened her inventory, scrolling through the menu she takes a small item out from it. “Here.” Throwing the small item over to the man in front of her, the small badge glinted as the sun caught the jade that it was made from.

Teayre had found herself once again on the fifteenth floor. The dark gloom of the forest hid her face. She had just come away from her training session with the Azure Chevalier. Gritting her teeth she drew the curved blade for a moment spinning it around her hand catching it before returning the weapon to her sheathe. Her hand taking a potion out from her inventory the girl downs it shivering as the warmth spreads to the tips of her fingers. She examines a pastry as well before eating that her vision becoming much sharper and clearer. “I know what you said Calrex, but I just can’t.” She dismissed the notion from her mind of using a safeguard potion. Opening her menu Teayre quickly selects her husband’s name.

Cal, I’m sorry I can’t find a safeguard. I’ve gone to the fifteenth floor to get the rest of the materials for all of us. For our boat.

Teayre

Hitting send the red head breathes a sigh of relief, kneeling down she rummages around in the bushes and finds some noble wood. Smiling she adds it to her inventory and leans against a tree, sending a party invite to her husband just before his reply appeared on her screen.

Teayre’s Thread Stats

Her eyes flickered over to her husband, as he knelt collecting yet another bundle of noble wood. Teayre couldn’t help but smile to herself. Turning she walks away from the group. “I’m sorry.” She whispers walking past several mobs before coming to a halt. Looking over her shoulder at the feint silhouettes the red head kneels, brushing away a lot of the earth before selecting a few choice pieces of wood. Adding them to her inventory. Her hand clenches. “Why do they try?” Turning the red head begins to walk straight towards an ant mound. Her blade being drawn and held out to one side. The leaves crunching underneath her feet. Several of the mobs glanced up before looking down again, put off by the level of the player. As she pressed her foot onto the bottom of the mound four ants sprouted up around the girl, a smile appearing on her face Teayre turns her blade over the sunlight pouring into the eyes of the ants as she prepares to make the first move.

@Calrex @Baldur

<It will take a post action to move over to Teayre’s position.>

The red head looked over her shoulder to see Baldur approaching her. Coming to a halt the red head turned and watched the man bow to her. Biting her lip she swallowed raising a hand. “Hey Baldur.” She says as she returns his greeting. Her brow furrowed for a moment before she relaxed her forehead. A heavy sigh escaping her lips. “I’m sorry for putting this task on you, however I have a request…” Her left hand twitched as if itching to draw her blade. “You know I am the wielder of Battojutsu. The main reason I swapped out to one handed curved sword in the recent patch was to restrict my use of it.”

Turning away Teayre, walks over to the tree she had struck raising a hand a placing it in front of her on the bark she had struck. The girl lets it fall limp, sliding to a rest next to her. “I don’t know what Calrex told you Baldur. I don’t know why you accepted.” Her head turned at an angle as she faced away from the tree her eyes screwed tightly shut. “I do know what I want to do. I know what I want you to do.” Her voice was cracking as she spoke, her hand tightening clenching at her side even as her other twitched the finger gently caressing the hilt of her blade.

"However..." She continued after several long drawn out seconds of silence. "I still feel the urge to kill." Her lips twisted slightly, "There's something that can't be sated from killing mobs. Now if this was like any other game. Then it'd be simple." Her eyes flickered open. "However the rumours are that you really die in this game and you don't respawn or even wake up. I doubt there is any way we can test that successfully except for handling Kayaba's crap." 

Slowly the crimson maiden stood up, slotting the sheathe into her belt at her hip. "So." She continues abruptly, "I want to learn how to kill. I wish to know how to kill cleanly without bystanders. Baldur. I have no qualms about killing anyone, why would I? Not after him..." Her eyes glimmered with resdiual fire, her shoulders being pushed back as she held her head up high."The only people who I will not touch are the Coalition. They are my true family. Yourself, Oikawa, Takao when we offer our hand to him and there is one other... "Teayre openned her menu and quickly typed a name and sent it to her guild mate. "Now then, before we start training I want to know you. I want to understand you..." Her smirk turned into a wolf like grin. "Fight me!" She yelled as her foot went forwards the blade coming out of its scabbard her eyes bearing down on Baldur.

(This isn't a KE thread so I can't actually attack you hence no bold writing.)

@Baldur

The boss had roared again regenerating a lot of health. Teayre narrowed her eyes gripping the blade of her weapon. “I need to do this but…” Her eyes flicked to Baldur. Did the red head really want to risk it? Her breathing was slow as she watched the fighting before her, Calrex howling at the boss. Baldur striking deep into the pitiful creature. The last of the corrosive pool had slipped off, the girl shaking her hands for a second the final drops flicking to the floor. Her eyes traced the path in front of her. Biting her lip Teayre let out a small sigh as she heard Baldur’s voice. “Let’s finish this!” Her eyes flicked to the Azure Chevalier, she inclined her head. Kicking off from the ground the crimson maiden reached the boss her charge skill allowing her to cut deep into the boss. Slashing, again and again. Landing, her chest rising and falling.

“You would say you feel sorry for me?” Teayre begins to laugh her head falling back down into the grass surrounding her. “Opal. Other people’s pity, their piety, their forgiveness it’s not something I deserve.” Her breathing slowed as she closed her eyes listening to Opal rant at her. “You ask me about the others then lecture me.” A soft chuckle, “When did you become so rash Opal? Not that it matters.” The red head paused for a moment.

“My father is the man I killed. He came to bless my marriage with Calrex, which he did do indeed with his blood.” Lips twitching Teayre moves her hands to behind her head using them as a pillow she continues. “You’ve felt the power over taking another’s life. For me the freedom of being in control. The pleasure of killing those who are helpless, like a hyena.” Her eyes moved underneath the closed eyelids for a moment before Teayre spoke again. “So the two you seem most interested in Manta and Ebony.”

Crossing her legs over the crimson maiden, let a sigh out. “Within the battle itself, Manta before she attacked the boss and after I struck. Her lips they twisted, it was the same smile he gave me.” Biting her cheek Teayre continued, “It mocked me, everything I had fought against. I flipped. Ebony reminded me of my past self. Someone who I despised more than him.” Her eyelids flicking open, she glanced sideways at Opal. “The most simple reason I can give you, as they wouldn’t be enough on their own. Would be fun.”

She let the silence after her words hang in the air. Several moments later just as Opal would start to speak Teayre continued. “Was it wrong? Yes. Although did Calrex tell you what I have asked of Baldur… No asked isn’t the correct word. Begged would be a better one.” Her eyes locked with Opal’s as the girl rose to her feet, before leaning close to the monster hunter’s ear. Whispering. “Kill me now, it’ll make my path easier."

@Opal

Teayre raised her head slightly as Opal greeted her before letting it settle back down into the grass. The long blade of the Masamune X had caught her eye and the girl smirked for a moment as a slight wind wafted over her as Opal sat down next to her. “Do we really?” Teayre replies as the former Vice-Commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath tells the maiden that they needed to talk.

Listening to Opal with her eyes open watching the clouds sail above her the red head lets out a sigh. “A player killer killer huh? Opal that’s nothing new, did you ever know of Keith? Back when I first let starting city, when I originally met Calrex, Oikawa, he was a well-known player killer killer. So it really is nothing new. Then he vanished.”  The red head froze for a moment as she listened to Opal’s request.

Sitting up she turns and faces her, “So you want me to tell you my story Opal? You want to judge my life and then decide whether or not I’m worthy enough to keep on living?” Pausing for a moment Teayre smirks her eyes glinting for a second, “A killer knows a killer.” The Crimson Maiden repeated. “Relax and tell you my story?” The red head couldn’t help but laugh. “That depends how much of my story would you like to know.”

Teayre paused, waiting for a moment. Meeting the steely glint in Opal’s eye. “I’ll tell you then.” Her hand moved, opening her inventory. A golden eagle hilt shimmered into her palm as the sawed edge pattern of the blade came into view. “The Oikawa Kanashiki, my first Katana. Calrex asked Oikawa to make it for me. ‘To cut through sadness’ he said.” Taking a deep breath she continued. “My father… He wasn’t exactly a pleasant man, my mother I never knew and my sister was killed before my eyes. Were the least of my problems. He was a very…” Pausing Teayre looked up into the sky as if searching for the right words. “Let’s say inventive cook and used a wide range of ingredients.” Her voice stressed the word ‘wide’ her entire body shuddering as her eyes closed. “Virtual worlds were my escape Opal. They were what saved me from his torment. Now imagine, I found him here. In Aincrad.”

The girl stopped speaking as her mind flashed back to the very day her and Calrex had been wed. The muramasa singing in her hand as she slaughtered the wolves, the potion that Mari had made being drunk.

“I didn’t just see him here though. He plagued my dreams. He was there in every breath I took.” The red head shuddered. “I was in the forest on the third floor doing that Hoya quest. When several players came out of nowhere, all green crystals except for one. The surrounded me and demanded that I give them everything I had. This was before it was easy to tell who was a high level player and who wasn’t. The attacked first and I fought back. Needless to say. I won.” Her fingers began to drum on her knee as she continued to talk to Opal. Her memories flicking through her mind like an old Victorian projector screen. “The next time I killed… That was what took my cursor.” The girl paused tears forming in the corners of her eyes she looked around to see if anyone had come close to them. A small breath escaped her lips as a sigh of relief when she noticed they hadn’t.

-OC -
Teayre will –stop- talking if anyone walks close to her and Opal and glare at them until they go away.

@Opal

Teayre watched as Takao went to the third team. It was needed, it would be a struggle but they would manage. Shaking her head she looks at the main fight continuing and watched as the corrosive pools glowed resonating with the moonlight healing the pus filled oozing wolf. “So that’s the second purpose of the pools.” Letting out a huff, the girl steeled herself she knew what she needed to do. “Let’s get the torches sorted out…” Without waiting Teayre dashed to the nearest torch, in the same movement the red head takes it out of the bracket and twists tossing it into one of the pools near her. Her eyes flicked up to the jade hunter, nodding at him in thanks. “Now to be careful… I…” Jumping back at the last second Teayre narrowly missed falling into the pool in front of her. Letting out a loud cuss she eyes the boss. “DAMNIT TEAYRE!”

The hand on her shoulder, the words from the player. Baldur was agreeing. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she shrugged she hand away refusing to kneel up keeping her nose pressed to the ground. “Baldur… The muramasa. When you believe I am ready to wield such a powerful weapon again…” She falls silent unable to say anything else. The occasional sob, her body shaking. Her friends were around her. Calrex, Oikawa and Baldur. The sights of blue in her peripheral vision and yet another hand on her shoulder caused the girl to break down even more. Tears starting to pool on the floor underneath her.

Slowly after several minutes of waiting the red head began to push herself to her knees the voices of Baldur swirling around in her head. Turning to look at her husband Teayre wiped away the tears that still stained her face. Her eyes flicked to the blonde. He had yet to say a word. She looked down, letting out a sigh. “Do I want to survive?” Gazing for a moment into Calrex’s eyes. Her own eyes were devoid of their usual fire. Any light seemed to not touch the crimson maiden’s eyes as she opened her menu. Taking out the Oikawa Kanashiki, the sheathe dropping to the floor. “To cut through sadness…” She mutters quietly.

@Baldur @Calrex

OC: Don't worry I'm taking forever to catch up to posts cause of college (Uni) & work.

“Itzal…” Her voice was a breath, the smile on the young man’s face, him waving. Teayre glowered at him her hand going to her weapon as she pushed part of the blade free from its sheathe. “What do you want?” She replies her voice cutting as if it were a blade. Her eyes looking over the player she took in what she could. He had levelled well and now he was approaching her own level quite rapidly since she had last quested with him. She took a step forwards when the crunching of feet to her right caused Teayre to look over.  Letting her blade back down into its sheathe as Calrex comes into her view. Shooting him a look that could have killed as he offered the coat. “I’ve got the survival skill to.” She retorted to him.

Turning to face Itzal and cut the triangle that had been formed she begins to talk. “The Night’s King… It’s not an easy quest, what the rude person said is wrong. Damage is capped at twelve, but if you’ve not got that high you don’t get an increase. The best bet will be your bleeds and stuns. Although… The wraiths beforehand as easy enough.”

“The never-dying rose?” Teayre looked at her husband an eyebrow raised. She smiled at him, “I love you.” She whispers as she feels him returning her embrace. Staying there for several moments she feels the warmth flow up from within her filling her body causing her cheeks to tinge red. Breaking the contact between them she looks at her husband. “Cal… I can’t believe I met you…” The whisper was even quieter as the red head starts to turn walking away from her husband. A couple of tears began to roll down her cheek, as she clenched her hand. “Right.” Smiling she turns to look at her husband. “Floor six it is then?” Holding out a hand she tilts her head slightly, the light in her eyes slightly dim. “What can I do to prove myself? What can I do to win this fight…” Her mind cast back to all the times she had wielded her blade, the bloodlust that had taken control of her. She wanted to fight as herself not as the demon she had… No the demon she is.

It had been a while since Teayre had come to the first floor. She could see Starting City in the distance. Her eyes closing as the remembered the Starlight Café and the strawberry sundaes they did. Her mouth watered slightly before she wiped it on the back of her sleeve. The red head’s eyes narrowed as she saw several players gathering just outside the safe zone. A couple of them she recognised. Macradon. Lessa. Beatbox. Khrysaor.  Kasier. “These parties seem to be getting quite popular…”

Closing her eyes Teayre leant back in the grass, looking up to the sky she let out a sigh. “I wonder what he’s doing at the moment.” Blue hair flashed through her mind. All the different times they’d fought together. The toad on the seventh floor underneath one of the mountains. The young dragon on the fourth floor. A grin came over her face. “A lot of people don’t like me.” She let out a snort. “Who cares? I did what I did.” She opens her eyes looking at the clouds above her.

Teayre looks across the ice of Frostbite Lake, her eyes flick to one side the snow where she had duelled X. Her teeth clenched. “If I see him again… I’ll…” Movement over the other side caught her eye as a blond boy started to set about his business. Watching him as the snow drifted down settling smooth, her ears perking up as she heard a few crunching sounds her spotted Beatbox. Lips twitching she remembered the boy from when he had come into her shop a couple of times. Both of them bore the same symbol next to their names. “The Celestial Ascendants… It might be worth keeping an eye on them.” Closing her eyes Teayre saw the symbol next to Hikoru’s name. “So he’s involved with them. Perhaps it’ll be good for them.” Settling down next to the tree the red head leans in resting against it as a wind whips the snowflakes around the lake. One hand was loosely holding onto her weapon, the other curled a piece of hair over and over again. “What will happen? I wonder if they see me…”

Baldur added more Noble wood to their pile and Teayre smiled. They needed this. “It shouldn’t be too hard,” Looking around a sigh escaping her lips. She mutters under her breath, “He always bails.”

“I assume we’re going for the six-seater ship, right?”

Her ears twitched and Teayre looked across at Baldur. She nodded slowly. “Yeah, although I’d say we want to get enough for an eleven seater, the extra feature... I’m not sure what it is but going on what the info brokers have been saying it could be extremely useful. At the same time.” Teayre drew a sharp breath turning her head to look at Calrex. Shaking her head she offers him a small smile. “With any luck it won’t come to that thought.”

The girl shrugged walking past Baldur, and towards what looked like a pile of dead wood. “Maybe…” She whispers to herself. Rummaging through the wood Teayre manages to pull another pile of noble wood out. Throwing it towards the group letting it land in the pile the red head continues to speak.

“If we can, I’d like to get twenty noble wood and thirty animal fat… That’s double what we need for the six seats, and should give us plenty of extra hits.”

The third floor. The forest was settled down in the distance, Teayre sat on the fence of a farm that she had spent the night in. Watching the morning sun slowly rise up on the horizon, the red haired girl couldn’t help but smile to herself. The sound of several starlings chirping reached her ears. Looking at the top of the barn she saw a pair of beating wings leaving the entwined nest there. It was something quaint and beautiful about the scene. However she didn’t have time to enjoy the pleasures of bird watching. Teayre was here to complete a quest and help some elves get some firewood. At least that was from the information she had gotten from the Info Brokers. Her sword settled neatly into the waistband of her hip Teayre starts to walk towards the woods. Along the outskirts head east until you hit the river, then follow that downstream till you hit a small pool. That’s where the elf camp should be. At least that’s what the red head had been told.

Slowly the woods came closer to her. Slight movements could be spotted by the red head from within the trees. Letting a small grin appear on her face Teayre unclipped the catch of her blade. Ketseuki Kanashiki. She had her friend craft the blade for her, it was the successor of the Oikawa Kanashiki, to cut through sadness. The girl almost scoffed, she knew that a blade could never cut through feelings no matter how sharp. It could remove those that created them however. An image. A single smile. The arrogance behind it. She gripped her blade tighter and tighter before drawing it and dashing towards a tree in front of her. As the metal made contact with it she let out a scream. “THAT DAMNABLE MANTA GAUL, HER ARROGANCE!” The blade stopped as Teayre continued to press it against the immortal object, suddenly she was sent flying back. Landing on her knee she stabs the weapon into the ground slowing her down.

Taking a few deep breaths Teayre glares at the spot she had struck, this was meant to be her first training session with Baldur, why was she getting this angry. “Of course.” Withdrawing her blade out of the ground she settles it in its sheathe. Looking around for the Azure Chevalier she lets outs a sigh.

Entering Syn’s shop yet again Teayre made her way to the counter and quickly placed a small bag of col on there. “For the sausage roll.” She mutters quietly waiting for the white haired girl to attend to her request. As she did so the amaranth rose looked outside, the snow was falling softly, not budging much as she stood tapping her fingers. “I finally did it… I swallowed my pride. What’s next? I bet they will all laugh at me.” The red head began to think to herself until a tap at her elbow and a paper bag with the pastry in was handed to her. “Thanks Syn.” She says to the cook and shop keeper before heading out and making her way up to the eleventh floor. As she finally made her way up there a message from her husband came onto her screen. Reading it quickly Teayre makes her way over to the coordinates he had said.

+1 Sausage roll
-750 Col

The red head received the message from her husband, there was a new event, a quest to build a ship. Teayre almost snorted as she read the message. Of the all the things Kayaba could think of, but then what if this was one of Cardinal’s generated quests. Her lips went thin as she drummed her fingers on her knee. Her blade securely on her hip, the red coat she seemed to constantly wear. Taking the sausage roll she had bought out of her inventory she quickly eats it before beginning to search for some of the wood they would need. As she found some wood from one of the bushes Teayre picks it up, inspecting the item seeing it to be of <<Noble>> quality. Walking forwards the red head spots most of the Coalition. Her eyes closing the girl walks forwards raising a hand. “Hi, I found this on the way.” She says before dropping the wood on the pile.

Materials List

Her feet hitting the ground she trudged along, a ping replying to her message. Continuing walking until she was a short distance out of Rig the crimson haired girl spotted who she was looking for. The green hair. The armour that matched her hair covering the top half of his body.  “Hirru.” She muttered quietly to herself. Swallowing Teayre looked up eyes narrowing watching him. Striding forwards.

The wind. The Rain. The dirt. All of it mixed into the storm that surrounded the town, howls could be heard from in between the mountains. She had bowed her head to Baldur, Teayre had set the ripples in the pond and now she just had to cast another stone.

“The Jade Hunter.”  Teayre called out over the storm, offering her hand out to Hirru. “This time we might be able to.” A smirk creeping over her face. “Like I said in my message, I wanted to talk to you. First though.” Pausing for a brief moment the girl brushes her hair behind her ear. “There’s some worms that need killing, I’ve been behind on the levelling, so I hope you don’t mind joining me.” The deep vermillion of her eyes flashed with a murderous glint as she mentioned the quest.

@Hirru

“Rubelite Rose?” Teayre’s face gave a small bemused smile. “You really think I could pull pink off? It’ll clash with my hair!” Her eyes glinting slightly, she looked at her husband. “What about Vermillion?” The girl went silent, blushing as she turned her head to one side. “Cal… I love you.” She states quietly before grabbing the boy’s hands.

“Come on, I need to go to the sixth floor, do the other quest that floor got a little while back, Deforestation I think?” She gently tugged his hands a bit more before stopping. Stepping closer Teayre rested her head on Calrex’s chest. “I’m sorry… With everything that has happened I really am…” She swallows, gasping for air for a moment before continuing. “I don’t understand why you’re still stood beside me… Why you’ll still hold me Callie, even after all I’ve done…”Her eyes screwed shut she tightly grips onto her husband’s shirt.

The message appeared on her HUD, it was from Itzal. She read it slowly, not once, not twice, but thrice. Her hand shook. The boy wanted her help on a quest and he had the nerve to invite Calrex along as well. She dismissed the message before slowly making her way down to fourth floor. The snow was particularly heavy and even with the survival skill the red head shuddered. “Teayre. He wouldn’t have asked you if he didn’t have some trust in you.” Shaking her head the girl settled down on her familiar mound about a twenty minute walk from Snowfrost. She sat in there picking at her fingernails. “Seriously… What’s taking them so long?” Bringing her menu up the red head quickly types a message to the two people who she was meant to be meeting. The message itself consisted of three words. ‘Hurry it up.’ She lay back resting in the snow, watching as the clouds swirled over head.

Teayre raised her head slightly from Calrex’s boot as the questions came towards her. Her hand tightening the red head’s breath catching. “I…” She started before falling silent. In her eyes droplets could be seen starting to form. Swallowing Teayre closes her eyes, letting the water roll down her cheeks. “I...” She began to say again before stopping. Looking up to Calrex she gave a small, smile. A weak smile. “I listened to my friends.” She whispers before dropping her head again. “Akuma’s Vein, it was what I received when I… Killed Manta and Ebony.

Teayre looked at Oikawa, “I wanted you to receive it Kawi-kun, the light armour, the enhancements on it seemed to suit you. The red head paused for a moment. She looked at Baldur. “In the last boss fight, the one against Leonidas, I realised something.” Another pause as her breath caught for a moment, she hand going to her mouth. Teayre retched for a moment. Slowly she stood up. Looking Baldur in the eye, the red haired devil began to kneel. Resting her hands on her knees. “Baldur-sama.” She began biting her tongue, her face contorting with a look of disdain as she retches again. “S-sorry.”

Taking several breaths, Teayre meeting Baldur’s eyes places her left hand on the ground followed by her right. Touching her forehead to the tips of her fingers. “Teach me how to wield a sword. I beg you teach me how to fight, without killing.” The corners of her lips flicked up briefly. “The muramasa… I would like you to hold onto it until you deem me worthy enough to wield it again.” Her red hair was splayed on the floor over her hands. “I’m a killer, that can’t change. What can is my future.” The strands of hair closest to the girl’s face started to become visibly wet.

Teayre looked at the wolf in front of her, she saw the ooze dripping from him and fizzling into the floor. Glancing at Heathcliff and Macradon her eyes hard and stern, she looks at Hirru her eyes softening somewhat. Darting in her wakazashi to her side as she begins to activated the sword art. The salivating boss snarled at the red head. She skids to a stop before jumping back as the acidic ooze hits the ground with a sizzle. “Damnit.” She narrows her eyes as the rest of her part goes in around her. Flicking her eyes to the torches that had just sputtered, she watches the ember settle into one of the pools causing it to recede. “Probably… I think I’m right, but we’ll have to wait and see.”  Teayre took a couple of steps back, she was nowhere near a high enough level for what she had to do, she needed to become stronger.
