[IC] The Necromancer and Her Doomknight –[rivaan & Silver Fox]

[rivaan]

Naisha walked quietly through the chilly mountain, her now bloody red eyes and hair gave off flashes of red as she walked under the moonlight. It’s been 13 years since she was forced to leave this mountain and become a slave of that blood sucking creature.

How strange was this thing called fate, Alex and Naisha were supposed to die in Spira only to find themselves in this strange new world and die here… alone in a world where they knew no one. Naisha’s heart still ached every time she remembered how her friend was killed when they were ambushed by the creatures know as vampires, back when the two of them appeared near that huge castle in the woods. When Alex fell, Naisha quickly threw her strongest ice spells on her body... she effectively turned this entire mountain into a frozen space. Everything was frozen as the effects of her spells were also turning everything around them to ice from the extreme cold.

Still the extreme cold didn’t bother the mage… For she was no longer human, she too had died by the hands of that vampire. Then she was brought back by him to serve him as a vampire herself. It took her over a decade, but she finally killed that man and all of his other servants. Ohhh how good Naisha felt as she tore his heart out of his chest and fed it to the hounds. Well there was one good thing she learned from him – Necromancy. He called it the art of manipulating death and while some book sources seemed to disagree with that man, Naisha learned it was possible to resurrect the dead. It was usually skeletons, but in this case in her attempts to preserve her friend’s body, she actually without knowing it, made it so she can raise Alex in almost normal body. She was going to still be undead, but at least Alex wasn’t going to be only bones or rotting flesh.

*Crackle* Something under her feet broke with cracking sound. Nai took a brief look down to only notice she stepped on one of the many skeletons that were littered around the area. It was the remains off all those she and Alex slew when they were attacked all those years ago. The necromancer smiled as she finally saw the ice pillar in which her friend was frozen. She reached with her hand and touched the ice.” Just a few more moments and I will free you… Alex…” Naisha said and gave a happy smile who showed her fangs.

Raising her staff which appeared to be made from bones, Naisha began chanting some kind of incantation. Dark circles appeared in the ground as the ice began to melt. Soon the frozen body was lifelessly on the ground. Then the necromancer quickly waved her staff as green smoke and light began appearing around her.” Rise! I BID THEE TO FOLLOW MY WORD! ARISE AND FOLLOW ME!” Naisha shouted as the green smoke and light wrapped around Alex and sank into her body.” Return to me my doom knight…” Naisha said softly as she sat on the ground next to Alex, to wait for the transformation to end.

[Silver Fox]

Fortune had not been in Alex's favor. Even in Spira. She remembered... Her and Naisha were supposed to die. Did they die? She wasn't sure anymore. When they woke up, they were in a entirely different world. At first, they tried exploring, trying to find answers and maybe return to Spira. They ran into many fights and the two of them held themselves for sometime until they were ambushed by strange creatures. They were called vampires if she recalled. The two friends put up a good fight, but in the end Alex was pretty sure she was slain. That was the last of her memory anyway.

Years, months, days, minutes... Alex was not sure how much time had passed since then as she started to feel again. The complete unfeeling disappeared. A tingling numbing sensation coursed through her body. Before feeling.. A weird mixture of warmth and coldness. Until she felt her chest rise as she took a deep instinctive breath as life once again coursed through her body.

Eyes slowly opening, her once bright blue gaze was replaced by a haunting green. Bright and seeming to glow. Her once islander tan skin was now pale like a ghost. Her body was clad in black armor, decorated in skulls, looking something out of hell or something. Long Crimson colored hair slightly messy and disheveled. Her vision was blurry but soon cleared, turning her head a little as she saw a woman sitting beside her. A familiar face. Such pale skin... Red eyes... And long raven hair. She was different, but Alex could recongize it was Naisha.

Slowly sitting up, the tall woman raised her left hand, rubbing the armor clad hand against her forehead,slightly brushing her thumb over the scar across her face before looking to Naisha again. "......Nai?" Alex questioned before coughing a bit. Her throat felt scratchy and dry. As if she hadn't used it in years.

[rivaan]

The necromancer watched patiently as the energy of the world of the dead, sank even deeply into her friend, slowly transforming her body and forming what appeared to be black very evil looking armor. It was part of the ritual and the spell of creating a doom knight. The necromancer’s eyes brightened up as she saw the spell actually succeeded and the slight signs of life or began to appear in her previously dead friend.

Nai watched happily as Alex took a deep breath and then slowly began looking around. The necromancer couldn’t contain her joy… for 13 years she was alone in her world while her best friend was dead in a coffin of ice. Finally all the hell she went through was about to end. She wasn’t alone anymore!

As Alex finally sat up and called her out, Naisha couldn’t contain her emotions anymore.” Uwaaaaaaa…. ALEX!!! FINALLY I BROUGHT YOU BACK!” Naisha cried out as she jumped on the red head’s neck. Tears of blood ran down the necromancer’s cheeks as she couldn’t stop crying, while hugging Alex.” It took me so much time!!! I was begging to fear, I may never bring you back… DON’T YOU DARE DIE ON ME AGAIN!!!” The necromancer shouted in between her cries.” But… you are finally here… and won’t leave me behind again… I won’t allow it!” She shouted, as the blood ran down her cheeks. There was a certain madness in the necromancer’s eyes. The years of solitude in this foreign land among monsters had changed the mage…

[Silver Fox]

Confusion etched itself on the tall woman's face as she watched Naisha start to cry. Or bleed. Or both. Last Alex remembered, Naisha didn't cry blood. What was going on? Still, she felt her friend launch herself at Alex, glomping her by the neck tightly as she continued to sob and shout. Green eyes blinking in confusion, Alex slowly managed to lift her arms up to wrap around her friend's waist. Still getting used to the feeling of mobility. Alex felt so cold, yet it didn't bother her. Weird. So cold, her body was still numb, as if it had just slept for way too long in the same position.

Through Naisha's demanded cries of commanding Alex not to die, and that the raven haired girl would never allow it, Alex could only blink a bit more. Um... Sorry? Take it I took a too long of a nap." she mused, trying to be a bit lighthearted to cheer her friend up before moving her right index finger to wipe at the crying blood soaking her friend's face.

"Mind telling me what happened? I remember.. The vamp jerks. I took quite a bit down but the cheating bastards got hold of my arms and stabbed me through the chest. Then nothing. So guess I died but... What happened to you? Not that I think your not pretty or anything just you seem different. Are they still here?" Alex asked, as she tried to wrap her head around the situation before giving a sigh and held her friend closer, smiling a little.

"But... I'm glad you're here. Calm down now... I'm not leaving you." Alex reassured, patting the top her friend's head.

[rivaan]

“You… it’s not laughing matter!” Nai exclaimed as Alex wiped some of the bloody tears from the necromancer’s face.” 13 years! That’s how long you were dead!” Naishe replied to her friend as the bloody tears began to flow again.

“Yes! Back then when we were ambushed 13 years ago, you were killed!” Nai repeated.” When that happened, I was caught. The vampires seemed to plan to present me to their master. Before they caught me, I unleashed my most powerful spells on your dead body to preserve it. That’s the reason why this whole area is covered in ice.” The necromancer said as she started to calm down.

“They took me to their master and turned me into one of them…” Naisha uttered and opened her mouth to show Alex the now quite longer than normal fangs she had.” My eyes also changed color and even my black hair acquired a certain tone of dark red” Nai said, not sure how her friend will react to the news. “I… it took me all those years, but I finally managed to kill all of them! The lord… the servants… the soldiers… every last one of those bastards who ambushed us I killed them.” The necromancer said with eyes burning with hatred.” 2 days ago I razed their entire castle…”

“On that note I bring you a gift!!!! I thought you will miss having a sword so I brought you one!” The necromancer stated as she reached to her small leather bag and pulled from it a big evil looking longsword.” It appears to have some chips on the blade, but it can withstand a flare blast with no problem!" She said, missing to mention she took it from the body of one of the knights the vampire lord kept around himself.

“Also here, you can drink this if your throat appears soar.” Naisha said, pulling out a small bottle with what appeared to be green liquid. " I... I brought you back as an undead... that's why you probably feel a chill... This potion is infused with energy from the world of hte dead. If you drink a healing one it will only cause you damage now."

[Silver Fox]

Alex gave a playful pout as her friend scolded her friend scolded her before continuing to wipe at the bloody tears. Frowning a little as her friend explained that it had been thirteen years since Alex died. That long? So many years.. As Naisha listened to her friend explain what happened to her, Alex's frown tightened in both anger, sorrow, and regret. It seemed her friend had suffered so long by herself. Those... Bastards had forced her to be one of them and done ancestors know what to her. And in this unknown world, there was no one she could turn to. No place that felt safe or familiar. Alex always feared of lonliness back in Spira, but it seemed Naisha was the one to suffer years of being alone.

Opening her mouth to say something, she paused as Naisha suddenly pulled out a dark omninous sword. Taking it in her hand, Alex examined it before looking at the bottle Naisha offered and gentle took it, looking at it questionably. "Well.... Guess at least I look pretty decent for a dead person." she said before taking a quick swig and gulped down some of the green liquid. It tasted weird but at least it soothed her throat.

Taking a satisfied breath, she looked to Naisha pondering a little before hugging her close. "Thank you Nai. I'm sorry for leaving you like that and you had to suffer by yourself. Guess you bringing me back blows all the times I saved you out of the water Eh?" she chuckled before looking over herself clad in armor and the sword in her hand.

"Looks like even after all this time, I'm still your knight in shining armor. Alive or undead." she said, releasing her friend as she wiped away more bloody tears before standing, wobbling a little as her legs got used to the sensation.

[rivaan]

“Yeah… took me years to finally reach the skill, but now that I have it, I brought you back as a doom knight, an undead of highest degree.” Naisha said, taking a look into Alex’s now green eyes.” You know it has some advantages… you body will not age anymore. You don’t require food or rest…” The necromancer said with half smile. It was a half gift half curse kind of thing. She herself had at the beginning being forced to sleep during the day due the fact she was a vampire, but with time she found a way around that… with the help of a pact with a demon… Now she was pretty much like Alex, without need to eat food or sleep…

“Eh… don’t worry about it… back then I lacked the power to stop them when they got you… and yes I suppose so. I’m not sure blowing it out of the water is proper though… it’s more like buried it into the grave… hehe” She said with a small laugh in the end.

“Yes you are my knight…” Naisha stated and stood up too to get to hugging Alex once again.” My doom knight and my doom knight doesn’t need something as cliché as shining armor. A good old dark armor is just perfect~” She said as she reached with her hand and touched one of the spikes on the armor, causing her finger to bleed for a moment.” Yes… just perfect!”

“Now that we are together again, we can get back to wandering this world…I've heard rummors of many different treasures and artefacts I want to gather.” The necromancer said and finally let go of Alex.” There is a town in about a day travel from here. We can prepare things from there and maybe get a proper bath… and I also need to feed…” She uttered in the end.

[Silver Fox]

As Naisha explained the side effects, the tall undead hummed a little thoughtfully. "Well, guess that is good. I always chewed our money away because I had a black hole for a stomach. And hey, besides the pale skin and the scars left over, I don't look half bad being this way for the rest of my life. Uh... Undead life." she chuckled before lightly bumping the vampire's shoulder at the joke that was given, smirking a bit.

It felt nice, talking again. Even if it felt like it wasn't that long ago. Alex was glad she woke up with her best friend still around. Even if she was... A bit different. They both were she supposed.

At the hug, Alex chuckled and returned it, listening to the blood raven hair woman's words while pricking her finger against one of the spikes on the armor, causing it to bleed. "Oh really? I remember when it seemed like you always preferred a handsome knight in shining armor to swoop you off your feet. But glad I can be your eye candy for the rest of our time together." she joked with a jolly laugh, poking her friend's cheek teasingly with a cocky smirk plastered on her face.

Naisha then explained about some rumors and things they probably could do and Alex hummed a little, nodding a bit as she released Naisha when her friend pulled away. Lightly tapping a finger against her own pale chin in thought. "Sounds like a idea. I do feel a bit grubby. With Ya know. Being dead and all. A bath sounds good and some good ol' adventuring sounds awesome. So, I shall follow my Dark Empress into the deep unknowns of the world and smash the heads of those in our way to get the shiny stuff." Alex said, wiggling her fingers in feign intimidation spookiness before chuckling. At the mention of feeding, Alex hummed a little. So that meant Naisha still needed to eat basically. But... As she turned into one of those things.. Probably not the kind of feeding Alex was used to.

"So. Take it you eat blood and stuff? I'd offer me buuuuut I don't think undead blood tastes so good. Or would work. That mean I need to go on a kidnapping spree and present Milady with large blood packs?" Alex joked slightly. Perhaps if this wasn't Naisha, Alex wouldn't really agree to such a idea. Ya know, with possibly being responsible to killing innocent people or such. But, Alex had always been known to be able to do just about anything for her friends. Guess that also included possibly murderering people. Mhmm she wondered if that made her evil. Probably, but it was for Naisha and she didn't care in that case. Plus, perhaps the time after 'dying' in Spira changed her a bit. Especially after Gippal and Urick... It hadn't felt the same when they returned, and she felt abandoned. She feared Naisha would eventually do the same, but after they came to this world it seemed like they were closer then ever. So her fears slightly died away in knowing she at least had one friend.

[rivaan]

“If I’m not mistaken the term they used for undead is unlife… I think.” Nai said at her friend’s comment. She herself wasn’t exactly sure how to refer to undead existence. No one really told her in that vampire lord’s castle and she never really found the proper term in any book.

“Well the last time I saw a knight in shining armor who promised to protect me in this world, he tried to stab me in my back while shouting what abomination I was and that I needed to die for the better future of this world…” The necromancer replied and ran a finger across on of the edges of the black armor.” Knights in shining armors can all go to hell for everything I care. Preferably I will be the one to send them there too~”

“Alright, let’s head off to the town then! After me!” The vampire said with a huge smile and turned in the direction they needed to head to. Both of them being undead now, it was pretty going to be a fast walk to that place as both Alex and Nai didn’t need any rest. Well despite that, Naisha was going to create some mounts for both of them to use after they finish with things in the town.” The town we are heading to is named Kalitha. It’s inhabited mostly by humans and has very little in the way of magicians or priests so after I throw some illusion magic on us to hide our nature we should be able to walk in just fine. Undead are generally not liked or allowed in human cities. Last time I tried to enter without hiding my identity, they sent holy knights after me.”

“Ahh yeah and eat isn’t the exact term either… it’s more like Drink it. Well I as a strong magic user can run pretty much indefinitely without blood as I can just substitute it with magic power. Even more so after I formed a pack with a demon for some benefits such as increased black magic, the ability to walk under the sun and well the ability to substitute blood for magic energy and vice versa.” Nai explained to her friend as they walked.” Don’t worry I didn’t give him my soul or anything. I traded in some artifacts I stole from that vampire lord I killed… it turned out Demons are pretty fine with barters for precious artifacts and stuff too. With that said, we should be wary of holy and light creatures. Demons generally won’t really care what we do unless we mess their plans. Angels and other holy creatures may come after us just because we exist.”

“I like the sound of ‘Dark Empress’… I see no reason why we should go and make it real in the future~ There are more than enough old empty castles we can start from once we gather enough artifacts and wealth hehhe what do you say? But then what will you be? I won’t go for you being just a simple doom knight while I’m Dark empress… what do you say we make you into The Warrior Queen or something like that?” Naisha asked her friend. Time spend alone as a vampire had indeed changed her personality. She didn’t really care much for human lives anymore. All that mattered was Alex.

[Silver Fox]

"Pffft details!" Alex said as Naisha corrected her on terms, sticking her tongue out playfully and childishly before slipping it back in. Her immature nature still around, and her temper was still there, but that didn't come out much when she was around Naisha. She could hardly remember the last time she was actually mad at the Mage.

As the Necromancer explained on her experience with Knights in shining armor and then about the culture of a city's view on people like them, Alex scoffed as she walked beside her friend. "Well, if any holy arse tries something like that with me around, I'll rip their tongue out and punch them in the face." she said with a confident smirk before looking to her friend as she explained about her making a deal with a demon to gain some benefits. In which way Alex cocked a eyebrow in suspicion and worry but the mags answered her worries about the price that she paid. Which wasn't so bad as Alex was worried about.

Listening to Naisha's sight enthusism over the title and possible things they could do, the Doom Knight chuckled in amusement. "Definetly, along our adventure we should totally castle shop for our first castle to rule over. And for someone who's supposed to be my master, you're quite generous in sharing power." she laughed a bit before humming thoughtfully.

"Mhmm The Warrior Queen Huh? That doesn't sound so bad. I could train our army into be the best warriors anyones ever seen to bow and obey our every whim." she grinned as they walked along. It felt a little odd, not feeling tired or sore.. Made her think about her existence for a moment. She was no longer human, nor was even really even alive. Still, as she glanced to her friend, she felt at ease.

"If it's you and I, then I bet we can do about anything." she grinned.

[rivaan]

“If I didn’t harbor such hatred towards that vampire lord, whom since the day before yesterday, is erased from history… That’s my biggest punishment for him… hehehe… he wanted to be eternal to have his name in history that’s why he was gathering power and servants with strong magic as me… I made sure everyone forgets about him~ even casted a curse on his name no one will ever connect it with him hehehe…” She got distracted from her original subject of talk and she realized it after she let out that laugh full of pleasure.” Sorry about that… I meant that castle that vampire had was pretty cool and big and had all kinds of good things in it, but I couldn’t leave it standing after all that time I spends there…”

“Hey I’m not simply you master! I’m your friend and you are my only friend here too!” Naisha exclaimed and jumped on Alex to hug her again. She couldn’t get enough of hugging her. It felt so unreal her friend was with her again!

“Well that or something of your choice.” The necromancer said with a smile.” Actually you know, warrior queen is too low of a rank!!! I’m going to name you Warrior Empress!” She said, giving the warrior even stronger hug before leaving her free once again so they can continue their walk towards the destination.

“Yes… We can do everything we want!” She almost sang. “ After we gather artifacts and build up power behind ourselves~ Even creating a kingdom or empire isn’t out of the question. Everything as long as we are together…”

(Fox, I will be time skipping after you write your post. Just to get to that town so fun things can begin to happen… such as bar fights, bartering(intimidating) shops and all them fun things.)

[Silver Fox]

Listening to Naisha speak on about her hatred for the Vampire Lord and making it so she destroyed his top desire before making a joyous laugh, made the tall woman slightly stare at her friend in utter wonder. Unsure if she's ever seen her friend act like this. She through temper tantrums, sure, but this was a liiiiittle more diabolical than Alex was used to. Naisha got back on topic and the red head chuckled a bit.

"Well no worries, if needed, we can just build our own. Bet we can make a much better castle than whatever he made." she chuckled before being hugged once again by the Mage. Blinking a little, Alex chuckled and grinned a bit.

"Ya know, if you keep hugging me like this, I'm going to think you think I'm attractive and I'm going to get a annoying ego. Not that I don't enjoy the hugs. Just saying. I feel special to be so loved." Alex laughed jokenly and she slightly ruffled the top of her friend's head gently.

At the title, Alex smirked a bit. "Mhmm so both of us can be Empresses's then huh? Sounds pretty cool." she grinned, watching as Naisha let go as they continued walking.

Humming a little, Alex reached and gingerly locked hands with her friend. Smiling gently. "Yeah. If we're together, we can do anything. And no matter what happens, I'm happy as long as your by my side." the doom knight said tenderly, smiling brightly for a moment before coughing and glancing away, rubbing the back of her head with her free hand.

"Ugh, that sounded cheesy. Don't laugh at me. And hey, I might not need to eat or drink, but I might do it cause I want to. We should totally hit the bar!" The tall woman chuckled.

[no prob ^^]

[rivaan]

“Well I should warn you then, your body doesn’t function as a living one so if you drink and eat things they won’t get digested… so you are going to have to throw them up later eventually, unless you want your breath to begin to stick of rotting food…” Naisha threw in a little advice before they continued to their destination.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Sunset on the next day.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Finally after hours and hours of walking, Nai and Alex were finally in eyesight reach of the town. It was a relatively small town it had one temple and probably 1 tavern. It’s barracks were about the size of the tavern and too made of wood as most of the buildings in the town. There were no street lamps and as the darkness fell more and more over it, the only light on that streets was that which passed through the windows.

Nai and Alex were on the road leading into the town, but the necromancer stopped in pretty good distance to be sure the guards won’t notice them right away.” Okey, give me just a moment to throw in the illusion spell…” Nai mentioned as she waved her hand before herself. Green smoke formed around her and began circling, covering her in the process. A few seconds later when it disappeared, Nai looked slightly changed. Her near white vampire skin had gained a lively color and her previously red yes had changed brown. Her previously bloody red robe adorned with bones and metal was no replaced by what appeared to be a very ordinary green dress. Finally the staff she held which was made from bones now looked like a simple wooden one.

“Now let’s change you too~~” The vampire said with a smile as she waved her hand at Alex and the green smoke covered her up. Few moments later, Alex looked how she looked before dying. Normal skin, blue eyes, even her evil looking armor now looked ordinary plate armor. Tilting her head slightly at how Alex now looked, Nai smiled. She was pleased how her illusion turned out. “ What do you think of your plain adventuring cover identity. The illusion will confuse their sight, but if someone touches you, they will notice the difference between what they see and what they feel. For the future we should change clothes into normal ones before the illusion. That way we will only be hiding the skin and eye color.” Nai said and turned towards the direction of the town. On the entrance one could see a 2 guards with torch stands.

[Silver Fox]

"Thanks for ruining my dreams and giving me that mental image Nai. So I shall answer that with the appropriate Ewwwwwwww."

---

Along the way, Alex continued chatting up a storm. She was usually loud and talkative. Discussing about way around being undead. Soon settling with drinking, then spitting it out and concluding it was the badass looking thing to do, even if she couldn't swallow. Other chatting was ideas for a castle and what to do when they became overlords. The tall woman wouldn't be surprised if her friend was sick of her already, but Naisha had always seemed to be able to put up with her. Through lame jokes, awkward social skills, and her temperament.

It really was a talent.

When the town was in sight and Naisha caster her illusion spell, the Doom Knight looked herself over with a bum. "Mhmm not bad, but I prefer the badass armor myself. Everyone else might think it's evil incarnate, but hey, at least it looks wicked." Alex smirked at her own snarky pun, clenching her fingers into fists except for her index fingers and moving them swiftly in a light 'boom da pshh' fashion.

As they reached the entrance, Alex hummed as she walked passed them, giving a nonchalant wave. "Sup." she hummed a greeting, grinning innocently, watching the two stare at her. A normal thing even when alive. Since she was abnormally tall for a woman. In this world, she's heard people refer her to some sort of race of this world but she couldn't remember exactly what. Still, they were put off about it but not too many messed with her over it.

"So where to first? Shopping? Tavern? Brothel? Mess with people for funsies?" Alex joked with a mischievous smirks she turned her now blue eyes on her friend.

[rivaan]

“Well I designed it myself just for your use. I couldn’t have my knight walk around in those tattered clothes we used to wear when we were attacked now can I?” Naisha said with a huge smile. The armor Alex wore was made by dark magic and various materials. Now it was bound to the doom knight. With some practice in the future, Alex should be able to make it disappear and reappear on a whim. Along with all the dark magic and tricks she should be able to use just for being an undead of highest grade.

The necromancer let a smirk as they passed by the guards stationed on the entrance of the town. The two men seemed just so shocked and confused at Alex’s greeting. Their faces were just so amusing.

“I suppose shopping is out of the question at this point of the day. Most shops are probably closed for the day so that leaves the tavern…” Naisha began replying to her friend.” Excuse me, but I have nothing to do at the brothel. Especially one as cheap as it is in this town… There is a lot easier and cheaper blood to be had everywhere else. I don’t have the ability to charm people for nothing…Besides the blood of the girls in the brothel doesn't taste good as it often carries deseases.” The vampire finished her reply about the brothel and shot a devilish look at the proposition to mess with people. “ That idea I like… let’s get us a room first and they think up what mess we can cause afterwards… hehehe.”

“Ahhh there it is, the inn!” Naisha replied in surprise as she noticed the building.” It looks different from before… this used to be all wooden worn out building, now look at it all shiny and new.” She stated pleasantly surprised. If the quality of the building was good it usually meant the accommodations were nice too. Luckily for them someone seemed to have had the good idea to do some repairs on the place.

Walking inside the tavern, the two women were met by curious gazes. It wasn’t often you would see two women traveling along the roads. Even so one of them to have that warrior feel to it. Naisha was clearly able to see how the men’s eyes were dancing between her and Alex. Some lewd, some curious, some just indifferent after the initial curiosity.

“Ya here for a room?” The middle aged man behind the bar asked when they approached.” Yes, we would require a room for the night.” Naisha replied to the man with a smile. At that moment some burly not very pleasing to the eye stood from a nearby table along with his idiot buddies and walked next to Alex and Nai.” Why not ya two ladies spend the night at our room, we can make sure no scary monsters come after you and you won’t even have to pay money for it…” Nai made bored expression and looked at Alex.” Alex deal with those infidels.” The necromancer said casually and turned back to the innkeeper.” Do you have any rooms for two available?” She asked and the man nodded, pulling a key from under the counter.” Only the premium room for Nobles… 10 silver per night.” The middle aged man stated and Nai quickly snatched the key from his arm, and pulled a few silver coins from her bag to pay him.” Alex you done with them yet?” She asked as she turned back to her friend to check how that was going.

[Silver Fox]

"....So you have been to a brothel? Nai! You naughty girl! I feel cheated on. Whoa is me for missing such a interesting event!" Alex joked as she feigned dramatic dismay score snickering as she lightly poked her friend's cheek in a playful manner. Before they reached the inn and she whistled a little at the fairly new construction of the establishment.

"Sure looks fancy now." The tall undead mused as she followed her friend inside. As soon as they entered, eyes were on them. Some lewd, some curious, some indifferent. Looks in which Alex returned with a sharp glare. Sure, Alex never enjoyed such looks toward her friend, but since what she remember when alive in this world, these people weren't very pleasant. As they stopped at the bar counter and Naisha discussed with the innkeeper, a burly man got up and strutted over to them, in which case the red head didn't hesitate to glare at him as he approached. Yet that didn't seem to deter the idiot as he offered to them to join him and his idiot buddies to their room. Gee, wonder what for.

At Naisha's words, Alex couldn't help but snicker. "Of course Empress. Gladly." she said, finding it amusing hearing the word 'infidels' coming from Naisha.

Smirking, Alex turned toward the man and took a step toward him, sizing him up while Naisha handled getting a room. She stood tall and the man came around to her nose. Her tall stature making him take a step back a bit as her blue eyes glared icily as she sneered. Raising her fists and cracking her knuckles.

"Okay, listen here bucko, we're way out of your and you **** buddies league so better just take your boney ass and waltz on back to your table. Save you the humiliation of getting your ass handed back to you on a dirty greasy platter. Or is that your stomach?" Alex smirked, watching the burly man blink in shock better getting red in the face from pure anger. One could almost see dream come out of his ears and hear the whistling of a overheating kettle.

"You whore!" he shouted before raising his left fist and swinging it toward her but she caught the fist with her right hand. Squeezing it tightly with a cocky smirk. She lightly worried about Naisha's warning on the illusion spell but figured these guys were too stupid and drunk to figure it out.

"Don't say I didn't warn ya." The Doom Knight smirked before raising her other fist and punching him in the face, launching him back to his table with his buddies.

Watching the group of idiots gasp before glaring at her, helping their friend up. The burly man now had quite the broken and bloody nose. She walked closer, watching as they tried surrounding her. Scoffing with a smirk, she raised her palms upward, wiggling her fingers toward her in a 'come on then' motion. One thug tried coming up behind her with a knife, but she swung and caught him by the arm before punching him in the gut and stomped her foot against his kneecap, a loud cracking and snapping sound able to be heard. Knocking him down while another came up to her side, in which she backhanded him in the face, causing him to fall back on another. When a large man tried coming from the front with a sword, her fists grasped the front of his raggedy shirt and lifted him up before promptly head butting him, dazing him. Spinning as she held him, she threw him right into two others and effectively knocked them right out of the tavern doors.

The only two conscious thugs looked at their friends then at her before quickly retreating and running out. Alex smirked, wiping her hands together with a triumphant humph. "Hah! I still got it! See ya later losers! Next time, think about who your bothering! A pretty face doesn't mean they can't kick your sorry ass!" she smirked before turning to Naisha as she spoke to her and gave a thumbs up.

"Yup! No sweat! They're lucky we're in city walls. Otherwise I'd totally scewer them." she snickered as she returned to her friend and wrapped a arm around her shoulder.

"So what's my reward for being a good guard dog eh?" Alex smirked with a hum.

[rivaan]

“Well they are lucky they didn’t lose their lives anyway. Those hits you gave them could very well kill a person… you sure you didn’t hold back a little?” Naisha asked at her friend’s comment. It was good to see Alex so lively after more than a decade of being frozen in ice.

“Your friend’s an amazon? Rare to see them in this part of the world.” The innkeeper asked the necromancer and she replied with a smile.” More or less… not sure for certain, but she certainly looks the part doesn’t she?” Nai mused as her friend returned next to her wrapping an arm around her shoulder. Alex seemed to big and powerful in comparison to the vampire.

“Ohh you want a reward for it?” Nai asked with surprised voice and as Alex’s arm was wrapped around her shoulder, the necromancer quickly spun around and jumped on her knight’s neck and then kissed her on the lips. A few moment’s later she moved back a little and looked at Alex’s eyes.” You said you whoa the fact you missed my visit to the brothel… do want me to reenact it just for you?” She whispered with seductive voice in the knight’s ear. That’s what she got for cracking jokes on her! There was a lot of approving shouting going on from the customers in the tavern, but the necromancer didn’t paid them no heed.

"Ahm...*cough cough* If you are going to act like that, please do it in your room... I would prefer if another mess doesn't happen as the one with those guys from earlier." The innkeeper said with seemingly uncomfortable expression.

[Silver Fox]

"Only enough to not kill them. Wouldn't want a bloody mess and the guards already reeling on our asses. Guarantee they won't be walking about for awhile though." Alex smirked a bit. She felt stronger, that's for sure. Sure, she's always had surprising strength over normal people, but now she could feel a increase in it. Magic running in her veins and pumping up her body. She'd definitely have to practice using magic sometime. Since she's never been able to utilize the art before. It would be kinda cool to shoot fire from her fingertips or something.

Listening to the innkeeper speak of a Amazon, Alex tipped her head and hummed. "Dunno, never met another freakishly tall woman before. Get stuck with all the shorties." she smirked as she playfully shook her friend. Despite the change, Naisha still seemed so small and fragile. It was made a habit to be extra gentle with her. Since Alex always had monster strength and Naisha was fragile like glass. Not a combo people favored, but they somehow coexisted without failure. Now, Alex was pretty sure she wasn't as delicate anymore. The Necromancer may look it, but now she was a bloodsucking vampire. Fighting those things, they didn't have to be big and burly to be tough bastards.

When the red head heard the surprise in her friend's voice, Alex was about to open her mouth to say 'just messing with us' but found that the part of her that emitted her voice was now covered by cold lips, slender arms wrapped tightly around her neck. In which case her blue eyes snapped wide open in shock. Her mind jumbled like she just dropped a jigsaw puzzle and was scrambling to put the pieces back together.

Did... Did Naisha... The little Nai she's known pretty much her entire life... Just kiss her?

It wasn't that Alex disliked it, the action just took her off guard. For as long as she could remember, the Mage never had been this daring. Sure, she was brave in her own right but not exactly in this department. It made her wonder where and when Naisha learned this over the course of over the decade they were apart. Does it come with being a vampire that rumorly deduce their prey? Or did she actually actively try it out? Her mind thought to that Vampire Lord and her mind took a sour turn at a dark possibility that she quickly pushed aside, not wishing to think about it. Either way, Naisha was apparently quite a bit different and mature, while Alex hadn't really experienced something like this. Sure, she'd joke about it, but mostly just to tease her friends.

That and Alex never really experienced this sort of thing before. If it was anyone other than Naisha who kissed her, she'd probably punch them but one, she probably could never punch Naisha without good reason and two she found it oddly acceptable. Weird. But maybe that's because she'd just about go along with anything Naisha wanted. Dark magic contract or not.

Alex was sure, if she had living blood actively pumping, her face wood be bright red. Only to get worse at the seductive tone whispered in her ear, causing her tall body to stiffen up a little. Blinking a little more, stunned before shaking her head and gave a confident huff with a smirk.

"I'd like to see you try it. But that would mean we'd have to sacrifice the mischief we planned." Alex gave a smirk but despite her bravado, she felt a mixture of shyness, nervousness, and curiousity.

Just noticing the howls of approvement as the innkeeper cleared his throat and spoke to them. In which case Alex innocently smiled. "Awe come on. You know you'll be fantasizing just like them when you climb into bed tonight." she hummed, before laughing as she watched his face turn red in the face before she scooped her friend up into arms in a bridal position then walking up the steps.

"You're still super light." Alex hummed as she walked to their assigned room, opening the door and setting her friend down, closing the door behind them.

[rivaan]

‘So cute~’ Nai thought as she watched Alex’s reaction to her kiss and seductive voice. The last 13 years had changed Naisha in a lot of ways it seemed. Now she herself felt attracted towards the red haired woman and what more she felt that her friendly love had changed, especially now. They were best friends since they were kids and in this foreign lands, being protected by the warrior until they met the vampires, Nai’s feeling of admiration and friendship seemed to have changed into love… though after Alex was killed in the decade afterwards Nai’s feelings grew along with the desperation to free her from the frozen coffin. Now there was no one else in the necromancer’s mind. Everyone from her past and even present was unimportant in comparison to Alex.

“Awww… don’t say that. I’m just saying you are free to chose your reward and when to receive it~” The vampire whispered in her friend’s ear with a giggle. It was fun to be the one teasing for once.

At the innkeeper’s comment, the necromancer couldn’t help but smile and in the next moment Alex took her in her arms in bridal position. The necromancer’s surprise didn’t continue long as she quickly relaxed in the bigger woman’s arms. Following even more happy and encouraging shouting from the men inside the inn… and even from some of the women interestingly enough, Alex proceeded to carry her into their room.

“Well getting turned into what I am, doesn’t really changes my body much.” Nai’s voice rang happily.” Though I must admit, now that I’m no longer constantly weak and out of breath, everything is just so much more enjoyable~” though being what I am I’m also now stronger than regular humans.” The necromancer whispered as she clenched her fist for a moment and immediately relaxed it as Alex was putting her down.

Being let to step down on the floor, Nai one again spun around and laid down on the bed in very seductive position.” So what mischief do you suggest we do tonight? Play some pranks on the priests in the church?” She asked with sly voice, knowing that the doom knight will certainly enjoy that night entertainment.

[Silver Fox]

The whisper sent a shiver down her body, lips clenching together tightly as she shyly glanced away, feeling embarrassed. She was unsure if her friend was being serious or just joking. Such a little devil her friend has turned into. Alex was finding it difficult to make a clever comeback to such the sedective approach Naisha was moving.

"Mhmm, may take that offer sometime." she whispered.

At the mage's words about her body, Alex grinned a little. "Well, whether you're frail or your strong, I'd still stay by your side. Even when you got sick of me." she chuckled.

After setting her friend down, the Doom Knight watched as Naisha laid down on the bed in a rather... Very seductive position. It made the tall woman stare for a moment before glancing away, fingers gingerly fiddling against one another in embarrassment as she occasionally stole quick glances at the temptation laid out before her. She had a feeling she was on the losing side of whatever game they were playing. A part of her tempted to move closer to her friend and see just how seductive she could be. She had to ponder if this is what men felt like when faced with a beautiful woman?

At the offer, Alex grinned a bit and nodding eagerly. "That's sounds awesome!" she said, moving closer before sitting on the side of the bed before leaning her body over the vampire. Resting a arm against the bed beside her friend to keep herself upright. Drawing a couple fingers along Naisha's waist, tickling against the frame as she minor oh wondered if her friend was still ticklish.

"Mhmm what should we do to them? Make a 'update' on those silly statues? Light one on fire? Make it look like they got cursed and watch them freak out on one another?" she hummed, blue eyes looking down at her friend as they were face to face.
