[IC] Frozen Dungeons

[BayRat]

".." He followed her, as they passed a rather foul-smelling pile he covered his noise but remained calm. When she broke silence by explaining a need for an attack he was slightly taken aback. "You know you could have warned me before you did whatever." William said hurriedly as he lifted his right arm, his brown sleeve fell down his arm as it would morph rapidly into a head of a dragon. The hand-morphed head would let out a terrifying roar just as the angry mob of goblins had came into view, and a massive jet of flames spewed from the howling mouth, torching the mob. What few survivors their were scrambled back further down the cave. I'd lower my arm as it morphed back into its normal form, sighing in relief. "Pitiful creatures."

[WolfieTheWolf]

Cerberus hops from foot to foot after they scatter.
Arelia grins at a goblin, who was stupid enough to try and hide behind a barrel.
"Cerberus. Go fetch." She says coyly. Her dog's eyes turn blood red as he lunges forward with a snarl, reaching the goblin in no time. The creature tries to run, but is left utterly helpless against the jaws of the beast attacking it.
Arelia rolls her eyes, "Show off!" She calls to her dog.
Cerberus barks happily and jumps a bit, carrying the goblin's arm back to them triumphantly. Arelia scratches his head, "Good boy."
She turns to face William, "Sorry, I'm used to working with just Cerberus." She says, wiping off a bit of blood from the dog's nose. It doesn't help much. His muzzle is covered in it.

[BayRat]

"I can tell, and its no issue." I commented as my eyes scanned the tunnel ahead. "I doubt there are much left, Goblins aren't the smartest buggers so I doubt they could reorganize after this, besides it would be overkill to just kill off all of em, Don't you think?" He said as he looked at the very large dog at her side. "Besides I'm rather exhausted."

[WolfieTheWolf]

"I could always drain the mines of oxygen, though, it is very taxing and would end up making the wind outside worse, so I suppose we are finished here." Arelia says, brushing off her dress. She kneels down and holds Cerberus's head in her hands, "You're such a good boy~" She coos, scratching her doggy behind the ears.
Cerberus tries to bark happily, but his voice is muffled by the arm of the dead goblin.
Arelia smiles at him and stands, "Time to go, then." She says, beginning to walk. Cerberus trots besides her.

[BayRat]

"Do you always fight in such clothes, doesn't it get uncomfortable?" He added as they walked back towards the elevator. He was somewhat odded out by her pet, but didn't think much of it, granted it was the biggest dog he'd ever seen. His eyes then tried to scope to her feet beneath her skirt, as if to confirm suspicious of her wearing high heels as well for a sort of overkill of nonconventional combat attire. She was strange indeed, nonetheless.

[WolfieTheWolf]

"Hmm," Arelia responds, thinking for a moment, "I'm normally not put into a situation where i need to fight, but if the need arises, all of my dresses have removable skirts." She explains, "I just prefer a warm dress. I may be fine with the cold, but even this weather is a bit too much for me. Besides, most of the time I fight with magic. I only use weapons if I absolutely need to. I'm not the best at close combat. That being said, in close quarters, Cerberus protects me. Like all mages, we have our limits...."
Arelia yawns, "I'm beginning to get tired. Is there an inn around here? I did not see one. A barn will suffice as well." She says, glancing at William.

[BayRat]

He was mildly interested in her explanation, when she asked him about a place to stay, he thought for a moment. "I had requested them to build an inn but they don't have the resources sadly. I am currently staying in the only barn of this settlement, so I suppose I can share, just don't take my bed." He said simply pulling the lever of the elevator after they both got on.

[WolfieTheWolf]

"I do not need a bed. A simple pile of hay will work perfectly." She says, watching the earth go by as they move up through the shaft.
"So, Mr Drakkenshire," Arelia looks at him, "Why is it you wish to defeat the evil demon lord that terrorizes this land?" She asks
"I have been alive before his reign and I must say humans are as stupid as they were then as they are now." Sighing, she adjusts her cloak around her.
Cerberus nibbles on the goblin arm.

[BayRat]

"Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't you human at one point yourself?" he asked as he continued. "Whether or not humanity is a flawed race, a demon such as Faust is a beast that should not be in this world. My elders speak of its potential tyranny that may expand after this winter plague. Both spirits that watch over me have warned me of this creature, and besides, I am still human myself. No one else is left to challenge Faust as it seems here, what else am I to do?" He said as he leaned against the railing of the elevator a few moments before it stopped. He pulled his hood back over his head and sleeves over his hands, not wanting to accidently set the vampire on fire. Exiting the mines, he'd go left near a corner of the village's wall, where an old farm building was.

[WolfieTheWolf]

Arelia trails along side him, "I have not been human for a very long time now. Once I was part human, but events that do not need to be disclosed to you occurred and have turned me into a pureblooded vampire... Not one of those horrible darkdwellers that burn in the sunlight..." She huffs, "Nasty bunch.."
She plays with a ball of snow in her hand, "I see where you are coming from, though. Tyranny can be quite the predicament." Sighing, she drops the snow.
"It's strange, not being human anymore. It might just be my age, but I have trouble sympathizing with them now." Arelia brushes a strand of hair from her face, sighing, "But enough about that. Who I am really is not important."

[BayRat]

He watched her keep up and play with snow as she discussed briefly of herself. "Pureblood huh.." He paused, how old was she? so much so that she lost all connections with her original backround. He shook his head to himself as he opened the large door to the hay filled barn that was otherwise empty save for a makeshift bed at the second floor. "Home sweet home." He said sarcastically as he entered.

[WolfieTheWolf]

Arelia looks around the barn and smiles, "I love places like this..." She says, her eyes scanning the surrounding area. Cerberus sniffs around the room, still carrying the remains of the goblin arm, which at this point was mostly bone, and finds a nice pile of hay to rest on. He lays down and continues to gnaw on the arm.
Arelia hums a sigh and walks further into the barn, enjoying the smell of the hay. She walks around the barn slowly, eventually joining Cerberus on the pile of hay.
She adjusts the pile and lays back, closing her eyes.
She sighs heavily and sits back up.

[BayRat]

Meanwhile william would undress his cloak, revealing his clothes to be baggy brown pants and a white cotton shirt. As he walked up the ramp to get to his bed he undid a few buttons of his shirt to loosen it, his pale chest exposed as he sat down onto his bed. "Love it? the place smells of horse crap." He added as he laid his head down on his pillow.

[WolfieTheWolf]

"I remember growing up on a farm.." She says, "I have lost most of my human memories. They come back to me after I encounter certain sights, sounds, or smells." Arelia sighs. She rests her hand on her forehead for a moment, then pulls her hair out of it's braid, releasing the golden locks. She grabs a bundle of hay and drapes it over her like a blanket. Laying back, she begins to hum a lovely little lullaby. Cerberus curls up besides her, but doesn't sleep.
Eventually Arelia falls asleep.

[BayRat]

The lullaby drifted William into slumber, slowly he would fall asleep, a quiet sleep he was as he drifted off, an arm hanging from his side.

[WolfieTheWolf]

In the morning, Arelia awakens to find several little rodents curled up at her sides and over her.
She huffs a sigh, "Well, this is a predicament." She looks at the rodents, "Why must you be so difficult..." She says, moving slowly

[BayRat]

The sun rose, but the thick clouds obscured its warm rays from grazing the earth. The snow had stopped falling, but it was already 7 inches deep. Snow had poured into the barn, forcing its way through previously locked windows of the barn in certain sections. The twittering of winter birds would chirp in response to dawn.

As the low sunlight grazed my eyes William would slowly rise from his straw bed, yawning and stretching his arms as he got up. "Seems the storm has stopped." He muttered as He went to shut the snow-flowing windows. He then turned his attention to his partner.

[WolfieTheWolf]

Arelia looks around at the creatures around her, then spots one of her favorite snacks. She looks up at the loft, and, not seeing anyone yet, she grabs the unsuspecting rodent, which was a rather plump squirrel, and bites down on it's neck. Paralyzing venom from her teeth numb the creature so it is not in pain, but she proceeds to drain it of blood. She then gives the corpse to her loyal companion. She licks her lips and spits out a bit of fur.

[BayRat]

William would walk down to the lower floor of the barn, soon after her pet had consumed the rodent. "Sleep well I trust?" he asked, rubbing his eyes as he would put over his robes and adjusted his hood.

[WolfieTheWolf]

"No," Arelia sighs, standing up and brushing off, "but that is normal. I rarely get a good night's sleep." She reaches behind her and begins to re-braid her long golden hair, which was quite a mess.
Cerberus bounces up and stretches, then runs a few laps around the interior of the barn.
