Private Western Brisshal A Reunion of Two People that Are Basically Strangers

[Gutsy Ironvolt]

Deciding that she would eliminate as many goblins as possible for the hell of it, Regan had created a path of goblin blood starting from Eastern Brisshal and over several days had traveled to Western Brisshal.

"You know what, that teenage scumbag did make a pretty good point. Fighting trees isn't anything compared to the real thing. Still, she really did make me want to tear her face off and make her eat it."

Regan sighed.

"And then there was that bleeding heart time healer getting in my way. What the hell was her deal. Seemed like she knew the teenage freak though. Oh well, out of sight out of mind. I doubt I'll see them again so better just to go on doing what I do best, and right now that's killing enough goblins to really get a feel for handling my new weapon."

Regan looked down at her hand proudly. In it was a katana-like sword with a blade of flowing blood. Suddenly, a lone goblin jumped out of the bushes to ambush Regan. Lazily, Regan swung Carmilla, her soul-sworn sword and bisected the goblin with a yawn.

"ANYONE ELSE WANT TO TRY THAT?!"

As usual, Regan shouted a challenge.

Kaede had come out to the forest to gather some supplies, not long into said process she not only found a trail of blood but could hear that shouting women again. Sighing some as she followed the trail doing her best to clean up the damage with her chrono magic. Hands turning slowly at both sides as the blood was cleaned and the bodies that remained melding into the ground as if years had passed in seconds. Looking at the woman Kaede could only sigh before speaking.

"Always so loud... If you would like someone to spar with that badly I'll toy with you for a little while, that way I don't have to keep cleaning up the poor goblin's bodies so they can rest in peace."

Raising a hand to challenge the girl to try and attack someone that would likely take more then a single swing of a weapon to take down, her right hand still turning as the chrono-magic ticked away and kept active for healing herself while she moved her left hand that had given the challenge towards the blood nearby to call it over and formed a shield. Kaede was willing to spar, but she did not like the idea of going all out and possibly killing or seriously harming the girl.

"But it is only worth my time if we make a little bet.~ How about loser has to pay for a meal?~"

Kaede tried her best not to go crazy with the bet, part of her wanted to make a bad joke but was worried this person was just a kid venting with an adult character. Shrugging the ideas she had away as she took a relaxed defense position and got ready to play with the kid some before showing her the dangers of combat and least trying to teach her a few lessons in the process.

If the girl charged without thinking Kaede would move to the side and lightly smack her with the blood shield for trying to take a direct route. It could be taken two ways, either she was looking down on the girl, or she was not taking this fight serious and both held true at the moment. Either way the fighting was afoot, and hopefully the girl was not going to try and fight to the final breath because Kaede did not prepare resurrections for either of them.

Hearing a familiar voice behind her, Regan stopped and groaned.

"WHY, OH WHY DO YOU KEEP SHOWING UP WHEN I'M JUST TRYING TO ENJOY MY DAY? FIRST IT WAS THE TEENAGE TRASH HEAP, NOW THE BLEEDING HEART, WHAT'S NEXT? ANOTHER VAUNTED HERO THAT THINKS I NEED SAVING? ALL I WANT IS TO BATTLE AND GET STRONGER IN PEACE!"

Sighing, Regan whispered something to her blade.

"I've gotten stronger since the last time I saw you. Not strong enough by far, but stronger. And you know what, I'M GOING TO KEEP GETTING STRONGER! WITH EACH ONE OF THESE GOBLINS I KILL, WITH EACH ENEMY I DEFEAT I'M ONE STEP CLOSER TO MY GOAL, BUT I WILL SAY IT'S TIRESOME HEARING THAT PEOPLE WANT TO 'HELP'. THIS IS MY JOURNEY! MY PATH TO BECOMING VAMPIRE QUEEN AND I DO NOT NEED HELP!"

Suddenly, Regan tossed up her sword made of blood casually it stopped suspended in air.

"I know you're strong. That time magic you used before was advanced. But as I said, I've grown since the last time I saw you. Meet Carmilla, a weapon born and soul-forged of my own blood. Carmilla introduce yourself."

Suddenly the blade shot forward towards Kaede on a path to impale her.

Kaede would raise an eyebrow at the Regan's 'goal' to be vampire queen. Then she would start to chuckle before breaking into a small fit of laughter before cutting it short and charging not only right across the attack, but directly at Regan slamming the blood shield into hopefully the woman's stomach before glaring at her with annoyance for the first time.

"I don't really give a damn, you wanted a challenge, here it is kid. You want to not get help growing stronger then try getting there without the help of killing things? You kids speak with holed logic and it really really..." "PISSES US OFF!"

Kaede's appearance would change as would the air around her, from doom and gloom to death and decay as the two voices spoke from the same motions. This kid was not going to learn unless someone really slammed them down a few pegs and Kaede was more then happy to teach her not to be so arrogant or hostile to those willing to lend a hand even if it was not wanted or needed.

"You want to be a queen, yet seems like you wish not to have any subjects, or advisors to keep you on the path of life and not losing yourself in the violence. Allow me to show you just what that path is like as someone that walked it!"

Kaede was not going to hold back on the girl like she had planned at the start, sure she would tend her wounds when all was said and done but until the girl learned some fights you don't antagonize more she was going to bare the fangs of the same UI-locked player that had hunted others for sport, killed and revived them as nothing more then a sick game, the old Kaede that she tried so hard to escape from but seemed it was needed here.

The blood shield slammed into Regan. The blow partially knocked the wind out of the woman, but she held her ground.

"HAHAHA! KID?! I'M PROBABLY OLDER THAN YOU ARE LITTLE GIRL!"

Using her wings, Regan pushed herself back from the sheild and the woman holding it.

"YOU THINK I'M THE SAME AS YOU? SORRY TO BURST YOUR LITTLE BUBBLE BUT NOT EVERYONE GIVES A SHIT WHAT YOU'VE GONE THROUGH! SOME OF US JUST WANT TO DO THINGS THEIR WAY AND IF THAT WAY ENDS UP AT A DEAD END THEN YOU JUST NEED HIT THE END HARDER UNTIL YOU'RE THROUGH IT! THIS WORLD ISN'T YOUR PITTY PARTY AND YOU'RE SURE AS HELL NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER, ESPECIALLY NOT OF MY STORY! I AM!"

With a flick of her fingers, Regan's sword Carmilla spun around and came flying back threatening to once again impale Kaede.

"BUT IF YOU WANT TO CROSS BLADES, HAHAHAHA! WELL DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME!"

"I may just in fact be younger, but as it stand I'm not the one throwing a tantrum and shouting every word. I never chose to be a main character, and far as I care I'd rather be the support or the anchor character. So allow me to teach you a lesson."

Kaede moved towards the sword, her shield slamming into it and take the majority of the attack before it could reach her, then she would turn back to the shouting child before her with her eyes turning black. Smoke bellowing out from her wound as she paid the price for what was to come and reached a hand outward to call IT back. The weapon, once resting on the mantle over a fireplace of her home shot from the resting spot towards it's master.

Dark energy crackling as the weapon reached her hand and the blade was coated in magics to give it back the lost edge before she would swing without mercy or hesitation towards Regen. Both dark magic and Hemomancy sang in the edge as Kaede went on the offence now. If this 'child' still did not notice she was more focused on defense but still posing a threat. Sure that was her strongest combo but it was not the last attack that would be tossed out.

❰ Exceed+Surge ❱

Kaede wanted the woman to stop being so reckless and annoying others, a Queen was more then a tyrant unless that was the type she wanted to become. If that was the case Kaede would pull the root from the garden, she did not need a repeat of the past. Hands spinning the dark weapon as Kaede's expression said one simple thing 'stand down or be put down.' There was not much kindness in her expression, even if she would stop before it was fatal she was not going to stop her onslaught until Regen calmed down.

"SUPPORT OR ANCHOR! HAHAHA, PATHETIC! STRIVE FOR MORE OR FADE AWAY!"

Regan saw the oncoming attack. Her eyes and grin widened. This would be a good opportunity to give the woman a test of her own medicine... maybe. Regan had been practicing swordplay and had learned a few counter techniques. Now she would put one to the test.

"HAHAHA! NOW WE'RE TALKING! LET'S SEE WHAT I CAN DO!"

Calling her sentient blade, Carmilla back to her, Regan readied her stance. The attack came nearer to her speeding by the second.

Gotta get the timing right or this is going to be real shitty.

"NOW!"

Regan raised her blade in an attempt to counter. The attack was strong but for a moment she thought she might be able to do it. Unfortunately, the attack had too much power in it for Regan.

I CAN'T HOLD IT!

The parry attempt failed and as Regan's sword was pushed aside she took on the brunt of the attack. Even so, a sliver of blood like a needle had thrust out when Regan's liquid met the attack and barreled its way towards Kaede.

Kaede took the incoming attack, endured her own magic taking it's pound of flesh but what got under the girl's skin was how Regen, this woman refused to see the point she was trying to make. She got to live the life as the main character and ended up the villain is so many stories, she did not want to fall back down that path or to watch others go down it. That said Kaede would regain some composure and allow most of her corrupt magic release from her body but stay on the weapon as she brandished it again.

"You currently, as far as I can see are walking a path that will bring harm to this world and people I know. if this is not true say so now or I will not regret adding you to those that have died at least once or more at my hand for doing such."

Kaede would hold her weapon, the twisted blade now humming a dark melody as it waited for the reason to sniff out another life. The wielder would do all she could to stop the weapon, but the air she gave off in this moment was nothing less then intent to kill Regen if she kept acting like she would rule the world one day as the vampire queen, would not seek advisory or those who kept her off a path of tyranny.

If she tried to attack Kaede again, or tried to run she would take the blow or chance and swing the weapon down in response, but if Regan stopped attacking and acknowledged the elf was here to help, to if needed train and help teach the girl some 'manners' or ways to do as she wanted without going off the wrong path. In that case she would move the weapon back and let it go so it could go flying back to the mantle back home to show she was not going to attack again without reason. Had she attacked the weapon would merely be drawn back and left to float incase the 'vampire queen' kept trying to fight.

OOC: So I did the math of the old post wrong and double added Exceed. So can add back 8 hp if you like. Either or if Kaede keeps fighting she won't drop you below one no matter the rolls less you decide character death. (likewise I hope for attacking Kaede since rather not get my 4th death in a friendly spar or frenemies spat. XD)

"THE ONLY PATH I'M TAKING IS THE ONE I SET MYSELF ON! I WILL BE THE STRONGEST, I WILL BE THE BEST! AND I WILL BE THE MOST TERRIFYING THING THIS WORLD HAS SEEN! I AM A MONSTER, AND MONSTERS DESTROY ANYTHING IN THEIR WAY!"

Taking her blade, Regan plunged it into her stomach. Blood began to spew out, much more than could possibly be held in the woman's body. It issued forth like a great wave hardening into thorns as it went on its way flowing quickly towards Kaede.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT PATH TO TAKE! I KILL THOSE THAT DESERVE TO BE KILLED, HUNT THOSE THAT DESERVE TO BE HUNTED! YOU STARTED THIS FIGHT AND IF YOU WANT MY BLOOD, HERE! HAVE IT! DROWN IN IT!"

The wave of hardening thorned blood barreled towards Kaede.

Kaede tried to give her the chance, and even as her weapon came down while Regan attacked her she help back, not wishing to kill a player even if she knew it might be for the best. If it came down to it again she would not be so nice, but Kaede did not know the girl's reason for what she was doing and hoped there was a point as the two dropped one another. In the final moments of focus Kaede would whistle for Totetsu to guard them knowing they would be down for some time.

In her forced sleep though Kaede was left at the mercy of the voices as she found herself in the circular room that was her mind, the countless 'voices' she knew perceived as shadow figures sat in chairs around her and elevated with one at the center in a grandiose chair, her former self sat calmly looking down on the woman she chose to become. They began yelling at her for not taking it serious since the beginning, for not ended the threat's life.

"Can you all shut up, your all past version of myself and guess what you don't fucking matter.~ I do what I feel is the right thing in the moment like all of you did and that means shutting you all the fuck up So I can relax before going back to dealing with this 'wants to be queen' lady some more because I doubt this was enough to settle things."

With that Kaede would reach forward and rip the façade image in her mind away to ignore the voices and sat on her usual spot of her dreams. Eyes overlooking the city landscape she once called home from atop her collage roof, legs dangling over the edge as she so many times considered jumping, or went there after a break up or to think of ways to get a date with the next girl. it was her safe space when her dad was deployed. She missed it so much and would be there until she woke up from energy burn out.

"There... there... how do you like that..."

Regan collapsed to her knees but she was smiling.

"I make... my own damn path. And I'll do and become whatever the hell I want. NO ONE tells me what I CAN AND CAN'T DO! NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT PATH TO TAKE!""

Suddenly, Totesu, Kaede's pet would appear and lay on her while growling at Regan.

"Hah... you look pretty pissed puppy. What, you think I'm going to try and take her out when she's already down? HAH! Not my style. She's already defeated anyway and it took a lot more than I'd like to admit to get the job done. Still, at the end of the day, I'm the one standing I guess..."

Regan was breathing hard and ragged. Her last ability was a double-edged blade it had caught Kaede knocking her out but had also left Regan visibly weakened and vulnerable. Totetsu alone probably could have ended Regan if he were up to it.

"Still, I didn't start this fight. I just wanted to get stronger, to cultivate power, haha, but first the pink one, and now her. They're always getting in my way. Always starting fights, when I just want to be left the hell alone."

Turning to leave, Regan would call out to Totetsu.

"Watch your master. I'm not attacking her but I can't promise some other trash won't try."

With that, Regan turned her back on the dog and the woman and left. She had proven herself against a much stronger opponent this day, though to be fair the woman hadn't gone all out which Regan suspected. Still, this meant she was making progress, and slowly but surely becoming the warrior she wanted to be.
