Private Eastern Brisshal Mixed chances

Kaede was only able to limit the external effects of her magic so Ronja would have no issue reaching the magic and Kaede none the wiser at the time. The dark ocean would grow violent the deeper the magia dove, more hostile and unstable as that same voice manifested into a entity not far different in appearance to Kaede but pure black skin with blue runes drifting across it..

"Oh look a lost lamb, If you would so kind to undo these shackles so I can help you out of this madness.~"

The voice was distorted and chaotic as it held up their arms showing the white chains that bound it to the massive pillar behind it. The thing was Kaede's taboo magics given form from when she lost her mental state after getting locked into the game and the other players vanishing. As it was it knew it could not do anything to the girl, but should it be let free it would be an entirely different story so it played the part of helpful shepherd for now.

"Hurt at times yes, but for the most part as long as it stays locked up I'll endure the pain of it any day to keep it from harming others. Side note you're leaving yourself wide open.~"

Kaede spoke in reply as she would try to roll and pin Ronja's physical body into the grass with her own. Sure it was rude and very much against what she was trying to be nice about but she wanted to distract herself some and this was always her go to for that. Leaning closer to almost kiss Ronja before she would sigh, kiss the girl's forehead again and roll off her. Being fair was a lot more annoying then she liked sometimes.

-Route two-​

If Ronja did, break or undo one of the shackles on the dark Kaede it would alert Kaede and force her to break physical contact with the magia and move away as her magic flared and forced her to hold her head. The area around her decaying as Kaede's skin would start turning black beneath her clothing and her eyes flaring with dark blue sparks of magic.

"Why... It was under control... There... was... no reason..."

Exploring the darkness in her recharging mode was something that made Ronja's heart feel tight. The metaphorical darkness invaded her nostrils, eyes, and ears, just like smoke that burned your lungs when you tried to breathe in it.

Kaede's voice began falling into the background, and when she finally approached her distorted version, she peered her down and up to the chains, with her head tilting in a squint seeing the woman filled with runes. Her eyes flickered, clicking as if saving the moment, frowning as she noticed just how bad things were for the woman... And Ronja felt sad for her.

She moved vaguely closer before she stopped herself, looking at her eyes and noticing... That as much as it parted her heart to see someone like that... This wasn't exactly real. This wasn't her body either.

Whatever was in there, it was for Kaede to decide.

Ronja then felt a warm feeling on her forehead, and when her eyes truly opened, just in time to see Kaede rolling off her. Her cheeks grew rosy, wondering what she was doing, though the gentle feeling on her forehead said everything she needed to know.

"... Ronja... Saw someone chained inside of you. She was just like you." She said, with her voice sorrowful, leaning closer to Kaede. "Are you really alright, Kaede?" Ronja asked, genuinely worried.

Kaede would tip her head for a moment when the person chained up was mentioned before she would look very sad. She knew who it was and part of her was seriously wishing Ronja had not run into that monster that was Kaede's defense when the world felt like it was going to eat her alive. Moving to lean away from the girl as she spoke up about the chained one she simply started to call 'darkness'.

"That would be my defense or state of mind from the UI lock before Harmony... I felt like the world was going to devour me so I made myself into a monster to eat the world first... That was the result, a heartless being that only looks out for themselves... and something I fight every day since then...~"

Kaede would not look Ronja in the eyes anymore, the girl saw the one side of Kaede she hated the most and that was enough to make her turtle into her shell. She doubted the girl would like being near her after seeing that side of her, nobody seemed to enjoy it or come back after meeting it. So she simply would keep acting as a magic node until Ronja was recharged then go back to her little clinic and cry that she scared another away.

"Even if I deny it that person in there is also me and the crimes they did are my own... So my advise don't get mixed up with a person like me. It makes your life a lot safer since the enemies I made will one day find out the two of us are one person..."

Moving if Ronja tried to see Kaede's face as she hid the fear in it. She could only see the girl getting hunted like she would one day, or used to draw out the dark side of Kaede to show the world she was the same monster then and now. Part of her wanted to just curl up and die to avoid that fate but she swore to Harmony she would live with her choices and try to redeem herself, so she was stuck trying to figure out the how and cost of the matter.

"Hey, hey... Ronja thinks this advise of yours is terrible. You are clearly not this kind of person anymore, look at yourself." She said, frowning seeing Kaede hiding her face, frowning and pursing her lips as she tried to reach for the woman's face to hold it if she managed. She could try to brute force her way through with her trait, but that was a stupid idea.

It was a gentle touch, one that she hoped would be welcomed, but even if it wasn't, Ronja would continue.

"Ronja doesn't care if you have enemies or about safety. Ronja believes in second chances." She said, looking down and up. "Ronja will mix up with whoever she pleases, and Kaede is one of them. No matter if someone dislike you. If they don't like you for a fair reason, maybe we can do something about it" Ronja said, knowing it could be unreasonable depending on the consequences of what Kaede did, which was still vague from what she was told.

"... Maybe you should believe in second chances yourself." She said.

"Second chances are fine for people who only commit a crime of those degrees once... not more then they can count... ALOT of people suffered because of me, and some are still suffering for things I did to those they knew or cared about..."

Kaede would still refuse to look at Ronja, the girl was something far to pure for Kaede to want much further interaction with to avoid forcing her into darker outcomes. Part of her was about ready to just admit to the girl why she was so bent on not getting or letting the girl mix with her fate or try to help her out of it. Monsters did not get to have hero's save them only put them down or lock them away forever. Sadly that was all Kaede saw herself as when faced with people so pure.

"Once your done charging I'll leave you alone, until then I'd prefer we don't talk anymore..."

With those final words forced out of her mouth Kaede would stop speaking or replying. If Ronja tried to get her focus she would look away, close her eyes, or simply just avoid the girl's gaze. Pushing them away was the only way to help them in the end, she was not worth saving or trying to help. Yes it hurt, yes she wanted support, but this was not a battle she wanted to watch others die in the crossfire anymore. She lost to many people who tried to help fight the darkness in her, and she was to much a coward to end things or bound by her promise to Harmony to keep fighting.

Ronja swallowed at the words, with her eyes flickering and clicking twice. Pursing her lips, Ronja didn't know what to tell the woman before her. She never really had met people that committed crimes of that sort, hell, she barely met people, to begin with. All Ronja knew was that she could relate to people that had problems and suffered with things that were beyond their control.

Was Kaede one of those? Ronja didn't know. But she knew she was one that made others feel like that because of her actions.

And yet, Ronja didn't feel repulsed.

Why? Bias? Because she knew that woman's good side (or at least thought she did)? Ronja didn't know.

Kaede continued to avert her face, and Ronja felt weak for a moment, leaning closer before trying to wrap Kaede in a hug. One that would be fairly tight.

"Ronja doesn't want to be left alone." She muttered in Kaede's ears.

"She wants to hear your voice too." She added, reaching for her hair and brushing it with her fingers, a reassuring caress if allowed.

"No one that is evil would regret such actions in the same way you do." She insisted.

Kaede would not change her mind on the matter, the hug was not returned, and the words would not get a reply. She did not want harm to befall the Magia, even if the girl was saying it was fine by them Kaede would lose more of herself if she saw it happen and knew it could have been avoided. It was why she was intent on retirement so that when they come for payback she was done with all other ties and could accept the fate they felt was her just payment for crimes done.

"But little does she know you don't regret a damn moment of it, you just can't admit it to yourself everything that happen was also what you wanted. YOU wanted them to suffer like we had, all those lowlife maggots enjoying the UI lock... They deserved the torture and death we brought to them. The landers so happy to live, you enjoyed ripping that from them ADMIT IT!"

"Shut up..."

"Still going to try and act like you are some tainted saint. Had you just went quiet Harmony would never be caught in the mess she was and would be alive and well.~"

"DON'T FUCKING SAY HER NAME!"

"There she is, the REAL Kaede, you know I'm fucking right. YOU got Harmony killed because they wanted you to suffer and as always showed weakness for a female or others so they took her life to make you suffer."

"I SAID DON'T SAY HER NAME!"

The growing argument would also show in Kaede's magic as the once slightly calm waters began to churn and a storm raged overhead. Both sides of Kaede pulling on the magic to combat each other as they shouted inside her head. Everything the other side of her said was true and she hated that, bringing in the main issue was only adding fuel to the pyre and as a result the binds on the dark side of Kaede began to fade, it was only a matter of time before the two would be face to face again.

Ronja continued to hold the woman tightly, though the lack of response was concerning. She looked up at Kaede and tried to catch her attention but to no avail. Her eyes flickered for a moment before she closed them again. Perhaps the other one would have an answer... Perhaps the other one would...

...

When her eyes opened again, once again diving into the dark ocean, she was surprised to see the true Kaede facing the other, now unchained and making Ronja stagger for a moment.

"H-Hey-" She stuttered, finally landing near them before raising her voice. "HEY!" Ronja called, hurriedly putting herself between the two of them, opening her arms. "Don't! That's not right!" She roared, turning to look at Dark Kaede.

"What are you doing? This... Kaede is... You are hurting her for no reason!" She clenched her fist, with her magic being mostly useless in a body that wasn't hers. Just a fizzle happened in her hands, and a scowl grew in her usually gentle face.

By the time Kaede and her dark side took notice of Ronja there neither seemed to keen to listen, rather the dark side had no interest and Kaede was worried the girl was going to be caught in the crossfire and that was not ok in the slightest. Both sides glaring over the girl at each other as they would keep going after one another as they always did when face to face like this inside the magic well.

"You defend someone who had no issue letting me Kill and torture people? She deserves every bit of hurt for the things she done and she knws damn well it is true so be a good maggot and crawl away before I step on you."

"I'd love to see you try, you forgot the bindings still exist? And I'd be damned If i gave you any amount of freedom when near people like Ronja."

"You see, that's the funny thing about this place. I'm tied to the magic and so long as she is HERE I can do just about anything I want to her or you.~"

"Ronja... leave... NOW!"

Kaede would move to push Ronja aside as a black lance impaled her stomach to make sure the girl would not get locked into the magic node she was making. Looking over with 'let me deal with my issues' expression before she would start closing the magic node hinting this was not a fight she wanted getting out if things got dangerous within. The dark Kaede casually stepping free of her bindings and walking towards Kaede laughing and pulling the lance out.

"Run along Maggot, else she will die here trying to protect you from herself.~ Because she can't bring herself to kill the part of her that kept her alive during those three years when nobody else would.~ Me on the other hand have no issue killing the parasites that clings to me and holds me back!"

Should Ronja leave Kaede's body would be bleeding, the effects inside did trace out when dealing with dark magic and as long as she was trying to keep others safe she would take every injury or die trying to hold the darkness back. Either way she was now forced to once again fight her inner demon in a battle of will against harm to herself while trying to rebind the magic that was starting to leak out again and rot the area around her.

Ronja's stance staggered for a moment. Yes, it did sound stupid or hypocrital to stand to someone that caused so much suffering. Yes, it probably was-

She was pushed aside, with the request that sounded unreasonable echoing in her ears.

It was stupid, but-

"Ronja won't leave her! Kaede!" Ronja yelled, with her eyes flickering as the fizzles appeared in her hands, rushing and blasting off toward Kaede with her jet boots, stumbling and taking her friend in her arms.

"There is no point on keep going back to the past and becoming its martyr! It won't change anything!" Ronja said, sinking her feet tighter on the ground.

"If Kaede becomes bad again, she will fight her back with all her might, but Kaede isn't bad right now, she is kind and nice- and as long as she continues like that, Ronja believes she has a chance to do much better!" Ronja said, slowly peering to Kaede's eyes, regardless if focused on her or not.

"Not to say you aren't guilt of any crime you did... But Ronja can't believe someone like you can't be redeemed... She won't leave you." She said, firmly.

Kaede wanted to thank Ronja for caring so much but this was not the time or place for such things and this was not it. Seeing her darker half getting ready to attack again Kaede would force Ronja to spin away from the attack as she took a slash to the back and looked to the girl with a serious expression. She wanted to say thank you in this moment, but in this moment she was mad.

"You make it very hard not to try and sleep with you, ya know that?~ I get it, don't stop fighting but I can't do that If I'm here worrying about you also ok? Plus... If I can't keep her locked up I need someone ready to end her out there before she has a chance to recover... So please wait for me out there and let the monsters both go all out not just half for one of them..."

"And you got her to admit she is monster, You are getting in her way and making this far to easy, so please stay and let me break her and remove any chance she can take control again R-O-N-J-A~"

Kaede would reach behind Ronja to summon a door to get out before moving to face the threat she created so long ago. It was clear Kaede did not want to show her fangs if Ronja was there, and that left her at the disadvantage but her words also had been true. Had Kaede failed to keep her dark side locked here, she wanted someone ready to stop her before they got back to full strength as she was linking her damage to her body to make sure she was weakened in the event of failing. While this attack was weaker, there was no promise the rest would be.

A surprised yelp escaped from her lips when she was moved away from danger, looking up at the woman both startled and surprised by the sudden attack and reaction. The certain strike made Ronja wince, looking at Kaede concerned while listening to her words and noticing the portal opening.

She struggled for a moment, shifting her glance from the portal and Kaede, clenching her fist while listening to the Dark woman's words before keeping her attention on the protective woman.

"In a way or another, Ronja won't leave you." She said, with her eyes clicking and retracting before glowing in arcane power.

Overflowing with magic, her hair was soon billowing once again as she rested a hand on Kaede, delivering a huge portion of her arcane power to the woman by planting a gentle kiss on her cheek.

"Don't get yourself killed." Ronja added, taking one step back to fade into the portal, being engulfed by its energy and quickly being sent back to the place she was, simply waking up abruptly, with her eyes growing wide as she saw Kaede's body reaction to the inner conflict she was going through.

Kaede partly wanted to let the girl know she had no plans to attack her other half, even if she wanted to put an end to it she could not bring herself to harm the one who helped her get past the disappearance even if it came with a heavy cost. So she simply nodded to Ronja and once the girl was safely out the way back would close and Kaede gave her full focus back to her other half.

'As always, annoying you are.~ Shall we just add a ballgag this time?'

"I'd rather just Kill you and get my freedom without a timer thanks for the offer though maggot."

Kaede would simply sigh as she resumed the contast battle with herself, evading attacks as best she could while calling the magic she had wrestled under her own control to form the bindings and watch them unable to keep her held down and have to try again. God she hated fighting herself when they both had more then enough magic to spare. More wounds slowly cutting open under her cloths in her physical form. She would have to tell Ronja she would make it up to the girl later, but that was a topic for later.

'So, you do know it never works out for the villain right? Ye you might beat me one day, but someone or a group will come along and stop you like so many other monsters that come before us... Going the anti-hero route is better if you ask me. Get to do as you like, can fight either side as you wish, people know despite the flaws you can be useful and keep ya around...'

'Shut the hell up! Either fight back or let me kill you!'

'ANow how exactly is that fair for me? Kill a part of myself, or die myself? Not exactly a win win like what I'm offering you?~'

With her consciousness back to her Magia's body, Ronja could now see Kaede's body suffering consequences of whatever that was still happening inside of her body. Her lips pursed worriedly, unsure if she would even be able to heal something like that.

She tried to work on keeping Kaede's body safe, sparkling life into some of her magitech robots that quickly tried to work on closing the wounds that soon opened.

Similarly, she clenched her fists and opened them, making a small opening on the palm of her hand which she used to soothe and ease whatever pain she would be feeling from the wounds she was receiving out of (apparently) no where.

Why did she have to stay behind? It was much easier if both of them could fight together. Perhaps there was something else Kaede wasn't telling her about it, but regardless of the situation, all Ronja could do was to take care of Kaede's body and keep her safe from any external danger.

Kaede took another attack, but with it she would get the result of sealing Darkness back to her spot and could sigh and exit the inside of her magic and returned to Ronja. She did not say anything right away, mostly wondering how exactly to tease the girl to show she was back, and sure enough she was given just the right chance as to tend the wounds she had to partly move Kaede's cloths so she would playfully tackle the Magia and chuckle as she blushed.

"Trying to undress me while I was fighting myself?~ Sort of kinky I like it, but all you had to do was ask and I'd have undressed before.~"

Kaede stuck her tongue out playfully before moving off the girl and used her magic to restore the area and some of the wounds externally anyways. Mostly making the blood on her outfit vanish so it LOOKED like she was fine but the internal damage would be something to worry about later. Stretching as she laid in the grass and resumed being the makeshift magic beacon for Ronja but would not allow her to touch her so the girl did not try and pick a fight with her other half or something like that.

"Sorry about all that... Normally she is kept under better restraint but guess her sensing someone else in the magic flow let her get free... So... long as you need to charge let's... keep touching to a no-no.~ Afterwards we can make up for lost time?~"

Kaede hummed as she rolled to face Ronja with a fake smile, sure she won this skirmish but each time it was getting harder to win them. She needed to seriously start thinking if maybe it was time to fight back not just keep locking her up. Would she be able to endure the weight alone was the main stopper of the idea. Darkness was her fail safe when the world went black around her, without drinking or Darkness the next time Kaede might just end her own life and the idea scared her.

When Kaede suddenly tackled Ronja, her eyes grew wide and she quickly tried to get in a position to defend herself, thinking for a moment that it could have been Dark Kaede taking over...

But the following words proved otherwise.

"Wh-" Her cheeks grew rosy, followed by an immediate head shake. "Ronja wasn't trying to undress you, she is trying to treat your wounds-" Ronja corrected the woman, even though she was sure that she was only saying that to tease her.

Ronja paused, looking at Kaede laying on the grass and avoiding getting Ronja to touch her directly. The reason for that was obvious for the Magia, but she simply took a deep breath and accepted it, not willing to push any further. "Are you truly alright though..? Ronja does see you just did a trick, but... Are you really okay?" She asked, looking at the almost perfect external physical condition Kaede was, something that almost felt like a lie considering the wounds she was acquiring.

"... Making up afterwards?" She asked.

"Always making me spell it out Ronja-chan?~ If we not going to touch now, when we can we should make up for lost time.~ Though You already said keeping cloths was the baseline so guess going that far is no, but those lips HAVE been calling my name in my head for a while now.~"

Kaede was going to keep dodging the question for as long as she could, she was never okay so long as her magic was against her. Taboo magic came with a cost and having it greatly outweigh her other magic was going to be the death of her one day if she did not get it under control. But it was not an issue she wanted others to worry about, she would give them every good memory so the day it came when things had to end there was plenty to recall or recount.

She resigned to that fate, one day maybe sooner then she would like the only way to save everyone she cared about would be to end herself in one way or another. She would either lose her magic, or lose her life and that was the cards she was dealt. Looking back to the sky as she wondered if maybe she should write farewell letters this time as she knew what could come, would it even help ease the pain some might feel? All notes did for Kaede when she got them is miss people's voice, so likely not as she moved her focus back to Ronja.

"But I'm guessing you would not kiss someone you only met today on the lips much less a monster.~"

Kaede was fine calling herself that with Ronja, the girl saw what she had to deal with, and it made it clear they had been two of the same. The things she did back then was not blood on Darkness hands alone but hers also. She could have tried to stop the woman countless times, but she LET it happen. The word did not feel right as she mulled it over, she WANTED to have it happen. A small laugh as she admitted it to herself, maybe she was worse then Darkness as she refused to say it aloud.

Ronja had no idea why she was always being called Ronja-chan, something she supposed to be some nickname that made her shudder slightly. However, the mild aversion to the way the woman acted was small compared to how well she was treating Ronja, in a way or another.

If anything, Ronja had to admit she was slightly flattered, even if vaguely creeped out.

Her eyes peered at Kaede, suppressing a sigh before nodding with a faint smile.

"F-Fine. Ronja can kiss you." Ronja crossed her arms. It probably wouldn't hurt to try something, and if that woman was that desperate... Well, Ronja haven't kissed someone in ages too, which made things a bit awkward.

"Ronja doesn't think of you as a monster. And even if you are for whatever reason, a monster can be kind too." Ronja said, maybe too naive, or maybe too forgiving. But she didn't care, she was happy to know someone could change for the better.

"Ehhh?"

Kaede's expression was first that of confusion, did Ronja just agree? Then it moved from that to slightly red, before it went pure red and had her roll to face away to hide it. Nobody ever agreed to giving her a kiss so freely, much less if they knew more about her or heeded her warning that it was never simply one thing with her. Moving to face Ronja, her face still red as she locked eyes with the girl as serious as she could.

"D...Did y...y...you just a...a...agree... to ki... ki...kissing...?"

Her words failing to convey she was serious about this, sure she wanted to kiss the girl but it was sort of made clear thus far such bold things would have to wait at least to third or fourth date so it caught her by sheer shock. She sort of considered herself a decent judge of character, least when it came to desires of people and her whole folder she had on Ronja was just thrown out the window by that one statement or possible counter tease.

"I... Y...you know I... won't lik....likely just sto...stop at a kiss right?... Don't... play...with my heart like that... T...That's my job... most force it on me but still!"

Kaede slowly started to get back her sense of control as her face would only be a mild blush by the final statement. She was a bottom, but nobody was bold enough to pin her down so she had to keep playing offence to hopefully find someone to someday get her on the defense like Ronja had one in just one sentence. If the girl was serious, Kaede surely was going to try for more, but if the girl was only permitting the single kiss Kaede would not waste that chance!

When Kaede suddenly reacted all embarrassed about the kissing, Ronja couldn't help but feel puzzled, embarrassed and now incredibly self-conscious about her acceptance, especially when it was voiced out loud so clearly for everyone to know.

"Y-You asked Ronja all this time even for her to go to a bed with you, and you are shy about a kiss now?!" She retorted, looking at the woman with an incredulous expression, averting her beet red face right after and swallowing.

"Y-Yes. Ronja agreed on a kiss, o-okay? No big deal about it." Ronja said under stutters and fidgets on her fingers, making her slip a sigh as she glanced at Kaede.

"So you are playing with Ronja's heart all this time?!" She scowled in a scold-ish expression, crossing her arms and looking away. "Playing with Ronja's heart is unacceptable. But Ronja doesn't plan to be like you... Ronja just wishes to... Well... If you wanted it that much. It probably doesn't hurt to offer it."

It was all virtual anyway.
