_____Aggravated, it was the vibe in the air as the reckless swordsman grinded his teeth while his swords swarmed around him attacking the mushroom creatures that kept pestering him. He was not here for weak little shrooms, a rumor in a nearby town claimed a massive creature had been spotted around these parts and he wanted a piece of it. The last time he had been in this region he lost his life, but that was before he gained strength, before he knew how to properly use the swords in his hands or drifting around him. But as another small shroom lept from the dense shubbery and found itself skewered by spectral blades the man sighed.

"The hell for that rumor... Been here most the morning, and part of my afternoon yet nothing showed. Starting to think it was just some urban legend or something..."

_____Hands shifted as the swordsman would sheath his two main blades, waving the free hands to recall the four that drifted around him to take a stand-by formation as he fell cross legged into the thick muck that made up the ground. Sure he could have moved a few feet to sit on a protruding root, or climbed a tree to get some sunlight but he did not care to leave the region it was claimed to show. He had poked around a few times to see signs of something large running amok but yet to see the creature. Hand reaching into his pocket to take out a small piece of jerky to enjoy his little intermission.

_____The bland taste of over salted meat made him scowl even more that this was taking so long. What he would do to have it over with so he could go back to his little camp and get some real food or log off to make something with real flavor. That said and done though he came out here to fight something that posed a challenge and it was either this 'rumored' large fungus or try and track down another Jade jaguar and see if this time he could beat it and not have to run away from it. Yawning some as he took another bite from the jerky and kept a vigilant eye for disturbances

Aaah, what a lovely smell it was. Fresh and savory, it was carried by the subtle breeze right to the wolf's nose, making her salivate as she started walking in its direction. Lucille was still on her hunting trail, going from region to region in search of powerful foes to slay and gain more experience. It was going well, although she had failed to find anything that she could call memorable or remarkable. All just silly little mobs that she could dispatch without any issues...

It was the exact same here in Isulus. The dark wolf figured that if she went farther and farther away from the kingdoms of this world, she would encounter stronger foes, but that just didn't seem to be quite the case. Either that or her sense of orientation was horribly betraying her once again. Her wandering was far longer than she anticipated as well, which ended with the girl quite hungry. It was then that she caught a scent of something.

The scent of jerky... meat, something that she always seemed to desire. Following her nose, she moved almost mindlessly before becoming more animalistic, getting on all four and dashing forward. Thousand's little break did not remain all that peaceful as a result, given that the wolf girl soon quite literally leaped from bushes nearby, flying right over him before landing, her claws digging deep into the earth to slow her down as she turned around.

"Aaah... the smell of delicious meat... from right here~! You have it, don't you?"

_____'Why did he always have to deal with the crazy' his expression shifting as the wolf woman spun around speaking to him. half holding his jerky in his hand while the edge of his teeth was about to clench down against it again. it was people like this that annoyed him both in reality and in game. Her tone, the way she was acting just painted the image of someone who rushed without extra prep but one other air came off them.

"Ehh?"

_____Shrugging some as he would toss the piece of Jerky over to the stranger and pull another from his small pouch along with a motion to unclip his waterskin to get a small sip. He only switched to Jerky if he was running low on supplies himself and most the meters only worked overtime if you kept them all managed so he could only recover energy if he had food, water, health, and sleep making it far more like real life then he would prefer but as he reclipped his waterskin he would address the other air he picked up from the woman.

"It does not take a highly keen person to pick up the vibe your giving off... Like me your here to hunt things and get stronger. If you tracking the rumor of a giant fungus monster I hate to break it to you but this area ain't panning out much. That said Least case if a little skirmish works for you could work for me."

_____Thousand would not move from his spot, reaching to get another Jerky to offer it to the wolf woman if she was still hungry and making it clear by tugging the small bag it was his last piece even if she wanted more. His arcane swords would move away to show he was not just going to attack her for taking the food either despite his previous words. While he loved a good match he still felt the need for proper combat ethicist and fair play. That and even if he went full steam he doubted a match against the wolf would go all that well in his favor.

"Huhu, good, good~!"

Catching the piece of jerky, Lucille didn't waste any time biting into it. Clearly she wasn't nearly as bothered by the salt as Thousand was, finishing the piece of meat pretty quickly and licking the tips of her golden claws. Though her eyes did not leave the boy, carefully examining him. There was at least some sense of mutual respect between two dangerous individuals, possibly trying to measure each other's power from a safe distance. Though the boy was the first to break the silence.

"Hm? A giant fungus monster? I'm here to hunt and grow stronger, yeah. Never heard of anything regarding giant fungi, though. Judging by the strength of fungal monsters I've encountered so far, I doubt it would be all that much stronger even if it were giant."

Now that a direct offer was made, the black wolf would casually approach Thousand, her steps easy but careful at the same time. Taking the jerky from the boy's hand, she took another bite off it before looking around. It was... fairly quiet. No obvious signs of powerful foes nearby. The whole of Isulus seemed to be a rather boring place so far, but perhaps this boy knew where to find something more fun?

"Little Skirmish, mm? Some of the creatures here started avoiding me after I hunted down their kin, but if you think you can find us something more fun, I'm all game~!"

_____It stung just a bit of his pride when the woman did not seem to notice he was hinting to a him verse her. He started getting used to it from most players with the whole rumor 'truth' that three deaths locks you into the game. To him it was all hogwash or excuses to play a cowardly life that felt more 'immersive' in his books. It was a game, you die to learn and overcome things from how he was told about video games. But with a shrug he would raise from his spot.

"Ye I guess, I ran into some Jade jaguar last time I was around these parts. Last time I was here though I could barely hold my swords right and did not have this 'companion?' I think some might call it."

_____Thousand would gesture to his newest sword he had to go around to try and find someone to make it for him. The black hilt among the four hilts on his waist since he refused to scrap any blades to allow him to fight things on their level if needed. Slowly trudging forward as he was unsure if the wolf woman could keep up if he started to move full speed but none the less towards the jade Jaguar area of the map as he recalled some intel he learned later on after fleeing from them.

"Guess I should warn you a bit about the foes less you prefer a surprise. if so ignore the following statements. Jade Jaguar are highly defense and damage but rather slow and weak if you do mange a good hit in. They hunt both solo or in packs and blend with the area they lurk so from the moment we approach we could betting hunted."

_____Thousand listed it off as if speaking with young children, adding tone to each fact that he would want to be focused on while the rest was just lively enough to keep focus. A bad habit of being a day-care aid was treating most strangers like children. Drawing out his Black and white blades as he kept walking changing speed until he found what speed the wolf could keep up with. 'Lets get this hunter rematch under-way' as he grinned and started to slip into his reckless mindset.

"Jade Jaguar? Aha~ Finally something that sounds right and proper! No fungus, no plant... thingy, proper meat and flesh, ready to be devoured! To fight for survival!"

The girl didn't waste any time hyping herself up for what might have come. The word 'jaguar' implied many things, among them the fact that they were not hunting a prey animal, but a predator. Surely that meant a challenge was ahead, no? It must have been better than the walking fungi she had been encountering all day long. Then, her gaze was directed to the blade that the boy pointed out.

"Companion, mm? Hah, this Wolf of Darkness relies but on her own flesh and magic! There is nothing more satisfying than to tear apart an opponent with your claws!"

As she spoke, she properly flexed her hands, covered in a layer of thick and lush black fur all the way to her elbows. And the claws that extended from her fingers, golden in color and almost shining whenever light would directly reflect off of them. They were the only weapons she ever needed. Certainly, she didn't even need to speed up much to get slightly ahead of the boy to look at his weapon from a different angle. He was a bit shorter than her, after all... thus shorter legs and all.

"Hey, what sense does that make? You're talking directly to me, how am I supposed to just ignore everything you're saying?"

"Oh well, not like it matters. The only thing that matters is that there will be finally something that I can fight to get stronger, get even more XP!"

_____Thousand was unsure if the woman was just dumb, or playing an idiot her own 'fantasy' of the game. if you wanted to ignore what someone is saying to tone them out, if she did not want advice about the monster they planned to hunt and preferred it be all raw combat then THAT is when she should have ignored him. His brain clicking the gears at an annoyed rate as he was given more reason to dislike people who played this game. Rolling his eyes some before he would start to slow down.

_____Kneeling down as he pointed out a few deep tracks going forward a few feet before they vanished from the path. Looking over his shoulder and scanning the area some before he would stand back up and get his weapons at the ready and summon his arcane arsenals of blades as he kept scanning the treeline around them. It got to quiet way to fast for his liking as he kept turning and moving at a much slower pace then before. He did not like being on edge but could feel the hair on his body standing up and his heart racing.

_____It was only when he reached the end of the prints that he would slightly lower his stance. Eyes taking note of a few jade shards scattered around the area and the signs of a fight. Once more he would kneel down to look over the area and use the hilt of his white blade to scratch the back of his head. An internal conflict, eyes moving around as he replayed the fight in his mind as best he could with the facts he had. Two had clashed, and while one was clearly dead as he looked down a small mound to find the large chunks of it body the other had got away with injuries.

"We got one live, likely harmed but I doubt much."

_____As if on que the creature would slam to the ground nearby them, parts of it's claws damaged and several other wounds made by the weaker and now fallen jaguar. But damn it still looked to give them a hard time if they got careless and who knew how many others might be watching up in the tree-line as the canopy moved in several directions. A wide twisted grin showing on Thousand's face as they walked right into the thick of things and would be fighting their way out.

"Time to see if those claws your so proud of can do much to these guys. Lets start up the death games!~"

Not many people in this world made good company. Unfortunately, it seemed that this boy was avoiding it as well, even though Lucille was sure she could sense a clear potential within him, yet to be laid bare and fully nurtured. Ah well, it wasn't like she would be staying here for long... probably? If he wanted to walk down the path of loneliness, she wouldn't stop him. After all, there was some merit in that as well.

But as they found the pieces of jade scattered around, she scoffed a bit. So even after getting a chance to fight something bigger and stronger than the rabble she was seeing around this jungle, they would find it already injured and possibly on its last legs? Seemed like just her luck these days. Letting out a sigh, she stretched a bit before they would pursue it any further.

"When I came to this place, I thought it would be a high-level zone, given how far away it is from civilization. But no, all I've seen were weak, near-defenseless fungi and already injured jaguars..."

As if it heard her insults and took offense, the big feline arrived, shaking the ground a bit with its landing. Many would feel terror strike at their heart upon witnessing such a beast, surely. Lucille, on the other hand, only smirked as her golden gaze laid upon the injured monster. If at full power, then perhaps it would prove to be a somewhat formidable foe. But right now..?

As Thousand spoke, trying to tease the wolf about her claws, she was no longer beside him. Moving fast, she became one with the darkness cast by the large trees and roots around them, soon coming into view slightly behind the Jaguar and driving one of the claws into its side, opening up a new large gash and sending it flying a few meters away.

"As I thought, it isn't gonna be all that much."

_____The girl was to eager to get into trouble. and Thousand could only sigh as he adjusted his swords and just chose to watch for the moment. it was only when she hit her mark that he would act. She seemed to think she had speed over him, a light sigh as he would stop slouching and kick his shoes off to feel the earth beneath them and moved for the first time at full speed. Standing behind her as he waved his weapon in the air.

"You might be fast miss darkness wolf but your put to much force into your swing and it cost ya some speed.~"

❰ First stance, Opening act.~ ❱

_____One, small chunk falling, followed by a second then a third piece by piece falling as the Jade jaguar crumbled and Thousand scratched the back of his head with the hilt of his blade again. He did not need brute force when he aimed for the weak points with quick and smooth strikes. Waving his weapons as he would bow and then look over his shoulder to the new challengers with a bit more glee. Waving a hand towards one as he walked to walked towards the other.

"Let's see who can take the stronger ones down first aye miss dark pup? Or fried ya might lose?~"

_____Thousand twirled his blades in his hands as he not only issued a challenge to the girl but chose to mock her in the same minute. he did not much care if she got mad at him, fighting her would likely prove more fun then the oversized housecats that as some kids in his day-care would say 'ate to much veggies and turn green'. Humming as he got ready to start up the blade dance once again and hoped something would make it to the final act for once.

So he had something up his sleeve as well. It was good to see that those weapons were not just for show after all. Although his words were confusing, the wolf of darkness figured she got the gist of it all.

"Who cares about being faster or slower. It's all about having enough power to crush the enemy, that's all there is to it!"

Exclaiming her own philosophy, she took a few steps to the side before even more jaguars would show up. And this time, they were uninjured. Perhaps they were all part of a pack? That hardly mattered, Lucille merely flexing her claws once more as she eyed them both.

"So there were more after all. Finally a better challenge than an already dying animal! The Wolf of Darkness is not afraid of anyone or anything!"

Answering Thousand at the same time as she let out her rallying cry, she charged toward the other jaguar. Slipping past its claws with a few new bloody marks added to her body, her fists collided with its forehead, sending it back a bit as it shook off the shock.

"Huh, tougher than the other one... and here I was preserving my strength to make this a bit more fair. Alright, guess I'll have to go all out!"

_____He watched the girl for lack of better wording go and miss her second attack and take damage for the mistake made. he wanted to laugh but simply smirked as he stopped twirling his blades and lined them together to his right side. Slowly stepping to the side as the jaguar he was up against would do the same. Both new the first to move was going to regret it and both would be ready to make the other regret it. Thousand laughing as he would blow a kiss to the jaguar and made it seemingly mad enough to attack first.

❰ Second stance, Crescent arc.~ ❱

_____A single exchange of attacks from the two fighters. A decent claw gash along Thousand's left shoulder, and a single dense crescent arc cut along the Jaguar's front left paw as they would circle each other once more. Thousand growled to himself for only getting such a shallow cut even when he put focus into it. The fact that calmed him was that it was still alive after the first strike or trade of blows was more fitting with a frenzy attack like himself.

_____Moving his blades to hold them both backwards as he got ready for the next step in his dance. Arcane blades spinning to form a shield of swords to help him deal with the next possible attack trade as his mind started to slip into a more reckless state. Was it worth going right to the advance stances? No, he would not be able to hold it over the wolf if he barely walked away from his fight despite finishing first. What was worrisome was if he kept the 'even' trades he was going to drop before he finished his fight. Chuckling as the adrenaline made his normally dull life have meaning and he wanted to risk it for the rush.

Well, now Lucille had to catch up. At least she knew that she could go all out and her energy would not be wasted. Taking a few steps back, she assumed a far more aggressive stance and bared her fangs, quite literally. The jaguar seemed to stop for a moment, perhaps even briefly intimidated by a fellow predator that was ready to pounce. In this contest of survival, nothing could be taken lightly. One wrong step and death would come greet early.

❰ D E V O U R ❱

Lunging forward with all of her might, the jaguar could only roar in agony as a chunk of its body was suddenly missing. Though the impact didn't seem nearly as powerful as when she hit it with her fists, it still staggered and fell to the ground as Lucille briefly keeled over behind it, spitting out junks of jade from her mouth.

"Blech, are you for real? Do these guys even have soft flesh inside? Ugh, not even Mizuki would be able to eat this shit..."

Wiping her mouth clean with her furry forearm, she looked over her shoulder to see the beast slowly getting up. The damage she just did, tearing a portion of its body off with her fangs alone, was nothing short of noticeable. But it was clearly not enough to kill it... she had to aim for the neck if she wanted to do that. Unfortunately, going for such a place was still a bit too dangerous, given how much energy the beast still seemed to have.

_____A slow exhale as the swordsman was forced to put his faith in his extra burst, the hardest part of blade dance to execute and he was going to try and double it down? Grumbling as he would reach to draw his other two blades holding them opposite of his stronger blades. Arcane blades doubling in number as he tried to focus only on the bare minimal. He did not need color, did not need the background outside the path to his mark.

_____He did not need the sounds of the other fight, did not need to worry much about his own self just that of his blades. It was going to be a full power gamble and he would be damned if it backfired. Time felt like a snails pace as he kicked forward, hands arcing at the air to throw the first two weapons and send the Arcane weapons after them bombarding the Jaguar with wounds as he was far from done as the hand motion led to spinning his good sword around while he closed the distance.

_____Swords clashing with claws to divert them from vitals but lodge them into his sides and legs. He was pinned to the jaguar, but it was not stuck with him as his eyes flared with adrenalin and he went wild. Slashing at the jaws of the jaguar as it held him and got a mouthful of angry swords as Thousand was tossed aside and coughed up blood staggering to his feet while laughing. He was close to death again, god he loved the rush as he chuckled and stubbled around a bit seeing his enemy was about the same state.

Why the hell were her attacks doing so little damage? Sure, at first, she was intentionally holding back to ensure that things were not over too quickly, but now it was getting a bit problematic. Especially since it seemed that with each failed blow of hers, the jaguar got one off on her no problem. She was never particularly defensive when it came to combat, but even this was...

Then, in the corner of her eye, she saw Thousand and the way he nearly obliterated his opponent with the arcane blades. Gritting her teeth, she eyed her own 'prey' before trying to duck to the side as it swiped at her with one of its razor-sharp claws. A riposte of sorts, using her darkness-infused claw to then strike true... or at least attempt to.

Where she meant to skewer the beast's heart, the jade appeared to smooth and hard, causing the claws to instead glide along its belly and sending Lucille tumbling to the ground behind the feline.

_____Thousand just could not stop laughing between fits of coughing up blood and holding his wounds. it was just to much fun, and to funny to be on the edge of his life and risking every pit of his life to get just another swing in, to be so close yet so far and one mistake being his life or the life of his foe. Staggering forward as the jaguar rushed to try and end the fight one way or another. Thousand lowering both blades as he would give it the final dance.

_____Two blades, arcing upward as the jaguar clawed down and the two ended back to back. Thousand with a new wound, and the jaguar falling into three parts. his tongue clicking wetly before he would cough up more blood and start laughing again. he still had a lot more growth if he was going to make his pure offence focus pan out. Stumbling backwards as he would lay on his fallen foe and look over to see how the wolf was doing.

_____Thousand could tell from how she attacked, she was not happy with the results of the swings. he could also tell she was not all that happy with how he was done or more so the previous attack most likely. Clicking his tongue again as he slouched a bit more and wondered how he could least try and 'mend' her mood out of habit doing it for children at the day care. he understood the anger of being weak, this was his first time he managed to win a fight solo and it took everything out of him.

A moment of hesitation was all a truly skilled hunter needed to conquer their prey. However, a skilled hunter also knew when to hunt and when to flee. The jaguar's eyes flickered and with its kin killed, mercilessly slaughtered, it would not risk its own life after the injuries it had sustained. Lucille was on the ground after her tumble and unable to take any quick action, and while Thousand was fast, he was also too far away and heavily injured himself.

Fight of flight... and this time, flight won. In a blink of an eye, the feline would disappear in the surrounding foliage, unable to be caught. With her body occasionally shaking, the wolf tried to get up as quickly as she could, her nose bleeding from landing right on it. Her golden eyes only caught the last glimpse of what was supposed to be her prey disappearing.

"No, dammit, I wasn't done! Get back here-!"

Obviously, her shouts landed on deaf ears as she just stood there with nothing to show for her wounds. As frustration built inside of her, she clutched her hand so tight that her claws dug into her own flesh, causing blood to drip down onto the ground.

Digging around his UI to take out a few healing potions, some bandages, a sewing kit, and a wound cleaning kit as he would whistle to the wolf to get her attention. Sure it was likely a bad idea but he was more keen on being nice now that he was out of combat mode mentally.

"Think of it this way, It knows who you are, and ran because it doubted it could finish you off before you could finish it... Count the wins as they come and tend to those wounds and reflect. Ya did good, managed to scare it off and I barely lived my fight so we can call it a draw."

_____Thousand would wrap a healing potion in some bandages and toss it over to the wolf before tending to some of his own wounds. He pulled all his supply from his inventory to show he had plenty and if the girl needed more she could use it or ask he did not much care as he could make them when he returned to his little camp. Wincing some as he raised his arm to bandaged the other to try and control the blood loss. Setting his swords into the ground as he would speak again.

"Not to pry, but if you want to get stronger my advice is to pick up one of those 'alter' masteries. They give you some good combat perks and help out with other things you might find yourself doing. There is also those armor features that I still don't full understand myself."

_____He was trying to help, though it likely sounded more like he was talking down on the girl because he was not good at being 'nice' in the game or really in real life unless he spoke to people like they had been children. uncapping one of his healing potions and covering his nose before downing it and coughing at the terrible flavor that got the job done. A mix of things he found COULD make a healing potion but not much thought of refining the overly bitter flavor.

Lucille was seething with rage, and when the object was tossed toward her, she turned around sharply and swatted the bundle from the air. Flying to the side, it unceremoniously landed on the grass-covered ground some distance away from them both.

"Piss off!"

She was clearly not happy. Her posture did not relax at all, as if she was still in the middle of combat. There was certainly no easy way of calming her down once something like this happened, especially the more it was happening.

"You've won your little challenge, so now you think you can just go ahead and lecture me like I'm some dumb child?! I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!"

Out of frustration, the girl turned her back to the boy as she dashed over to the nearest large rock, standing taller than herself, and started furiously sharpening her claws on its surface as if she was trying to get all of her frustrations out on the hard surface. It wasn't even like she didn't already follow such advice... Ginevra was technically her master who taught her some things, and she had already experimented with metamorph in the past. But none of that seemed to have worked out at all.

_____He would be lying if he had not expected the response to some degree, but what was not exactly much help to the girl's case was how she proceeded to do two things a kid throwing a hissy fit would do. Repeating a phrase over and over, and then going and attacking something that had no part in the matter. A blank look across his face as he wondered if calling her a child actually fit but decided not to test that idea as he kept tending his wounds.

"Attacking that rock ain't gonna make the creature come back, nor is it gonna really help you calm down mate... You need to just breath, tend to your wounds, we don't know if more will be coming and you rather fight them at death's door or atleast half alive?"

_____Thousand tried to speak some reason, and tried to remove the parental tone in his voice leaving it very dry and distant, like the man before the woman had not spoken to someone in years and forgot how to show emotion or concern. Wincing slightly as he pulled a bandage a bit to tightly and wrapped the rest of the area with a bit more caution to avoid killing himself while trying to tend his wounds. Recalling his first day in the game where he got impaled by a stick and did the same thing.

"I did not mean to talk down on ya wolf chick aight? My line of work has left me speaking that way by default and less ya give me reason or point it out sorta hard to notice it 'ya dig'?"

_____Moving to stand up and grab the bandages and potion the girl had swatted aside to ensure it was not damage to much before walking over to hand it to her. It was a bad idea to get close when he was a strike from death if that girl decided to lash on him, but in his mind they had been in enemy turf and if they did not get their acts together it would be the death of both of them.

"I can tell ya don't like me, but until we get out this region where stronger foes are we sorta need to work together to some degree. Neither of us can tend wounds with magic, Nor are we built to take damage for another person so..."

_____Offering the wrap and potion again if she tried to swat it away but with more persistence this time. He was only going to try this third and final time if she declined it, some people could not be reasoned with and he was one of them when in a combat high so he understood that. Ears and focus keeping mostly to the area around them incase they would be stuck in another fight.

"I'm sharpening my claws, you daft- ugh!"

Lucille didn't even fully finish the sentence or train of thought as she trailed her claws across the hard surface of the rock one more time, sparks jumping around due to the friction. Soon enough, those hands became just as deadly as they were before they collided with the hardened jade for the first time. Fighting opponents like these that had a tough surface seemed to be rather taxing for the methods that the wolf of night employed.

"And if there were any more, I would have heard at least something moving around us..."

Her wolven ears twitched a few times as she stepped aside from the rock, tossed one glance at the boy, and turned her back at him in declination of the medical items. All of this was so dumb in her mind. She came here specifically to fight strong opponents in order to get stronger, but failed to defeat anything and was now in this state... and the only other person here, who almost seemed like he was of the same mindset originally was saying that they had to work together to get out of here? It was making her feel sick and nauseous, frankly.
