Elina and Evelune
Eve transformed and nearly doubled her run speed transition from running her two legs to jumping off benches and other objects on all fours. The smell and feel of her home and siblings spurred her onward with a very unlucky partner struggling to keep up with the savage jungle girl. Stopping to skidding halt, she began to sniff at the area around her trying to get a good baring of where exactly she was being that despite being here a week the girl hadn’t mapped out the area; she was looking for the traces of magic which was all over the city itself, but it was all congregating in one location. The smell of battle sent the girl into a pseudo frenzy with the thought of her sister being picked on and shot off in that direction.
When Elina tried to slow Eve down by calling after her Eve transformed into her magical form which only made her speed up even more. Elina panted as she pathetically ran behind her. Her magical form would help her to catch up a little but Elina thought of transforming only when necessary. Although she was slower in her human form this only showed more that she was way out of shape. She even began getting somewhat of a tummy. Eve had finally stopped to sniff out her next go to point as Elina caught up with the swift girl. Heavily panting she brought her hands to her knees.
"E-Eve, w-warn me next t-time pretty p-please."
In the scope of Night, a woman unfamiliar to most, and clad in clandestine robes that appeared to have been partially faded in time appeared before the two. They wouldn't know exactly from what direction she had come from. Only that she was blocking the path. Her eyes fixated ahead, as if staring at them. but her face was mostly if not fully obscured from their view, perhaps with an enchantment of sort to mask her identity.
"Children... What is the hurry?" She asked, her voice obviously being filtered to sound different from what it actually was. After all. It'd be an issue for her if these children attacked her in broad daylight, She hated executing children publicly. Especially after what happened in Rome that one time. Still. The work must be done and if no one else were to do it then she must. Still, her tone and the way she carried herself was one of intimidation. She didn't come her to fight, but was fully prepared to do so. Instead she was here for information. The fact she had manged to position herself in such a position to capture two of the interesting individuals, away from the main source of the fighting and thus whittle their numbers a bit externally in the event she needed to jump into the fray. It was all simply a bonus.
Eve’s charge halted allowing her companion to catch up, but her sudden stop was not so that Elina could join her entirely, for their path was being blocked by someone who smelled familiar. The familiarity of the woman wasn’t entirely pleasant something dug under her skin like a parasite and chilled her to the core something about this woman reminded the magical girl of her own magic. Looking at the tall woman currently casting a foreboding shadow upon them Eve the fearless savage took a step back towards Elina. This woman couldn’t have been entirely real, the longer she looked at her the more the girl’s instincts told her to turn the other way or kill it, the thing just didn’t look like I belonged to the realm of men. Shaking her head free of the dreadful feeling and took two steps forward putting herself between the creature and the girl she’d come to call friend in these two weeks being under the bridge; whatever this woman if one could call this grotesque mockery of the human form a woman then something told her she’d stand the best in a fight.
“Not safe” a voice echoing through her subconscious causing the corners of the savage mouth to flare up in a snarl for little more than a second “P-Park, meet friends” she answered back a lie. Who or whatever was standing in their path their voice may have sounded humans and feminine, but had an underlayer of something far more sinister than the nightmares that littered the streets “Run!” the voice called out in her head again.
As Elina got closer to Eve she could tell the young wild had been halted by a well endowed woman. She wore robes for some reason and as Elina got closer it was starting to ring that she wasn't able to see her face. Was Elina sleepy perhaps? Or did the light of the moon not light her face up enough. She couldn't tell. While weezing she walked clower towarda the two and weezed and panted a few times more. Must have been the most she had ran in years.
The woman asked the two what they were still doing outside. Ugh another adult. Elina could stay up all she want, she had heard this a few times before but paid no attention to it any longer.
Hmm? Park, meet friends? They were gonna meet with their friends at the park? Elina didn't even know they had friends. Dumbfoundedly she stared at Eve.
"You should have just said so that we would be going to the park Eve!"
Elina put both hands in her side and gave Eve a somewhat angered pout for not being enlightened with the information beforehand. They could have just as easily walked there!
"I see. The park where all the magical energy is currently collectively stirring and frothing... No I don't think I can let you pass for you to join in that mayhem." The woman said as she lifted an arm, erecting a slightly purple tinged boxed in space around them. Her eyes focused specifically on Eve. Though she didn't know who they was, there was something about them that seemed familiar, as if they smelt of a place she was familiar with. It made her smile slightly, not that they could see due to her face obscuring magic.
"Now we can make this simple, devulge to me everything you know relating to the matters of magic in this city. Or try to defend that knowledge before I gleen it from you anyway with my magics." She said softly, offering an easy way out. Many people always opted for the easy way out. Not that she could blame them. They were always so fragile.
Still. Something about Eve... Yes the name that their friend had spelt. "And you Eve." She said pointing at the girl. "Your especially not getting off the hook so easily. Something about you is all too familiar..." She said cryptically.
Eve sucked her teeth and took another step back cutting daggers back at Elina as it seemed everyone was in on the lie except the person who needed to be. When it became apparent that they weren’t going to get out of this litter predicament anytime soon without a fight, something Eve herself wasn’t new to but something about this thing made her think twice. Under her magical girl armor, her body began to sweat profusely, which meant that bubbles were starting to form, thanks to the way her suit was made they didn’t form that pink sludge they were known for. Dropping pieces of her chest armor first and then her back, making it look like a direct surrender as a show of ‘dropping all arms’ she built up a large collection of bubbles at her chest forming them into one.
“Run!” her inner voice screamed in a much more demanding tone now “Shut up!” The girl yelled back through her mind to get to whatever dark corner that voice was coming from.
Within seconds Eve released a torrent of bubbles from her chest, small and big that all popped in unison releasing that pink slim as a blanket that separated the two girls from that thing that passed itself off as a woman.
At that very instant Eve activated her primary power opening the portal to the sunken world, reaching her hand out to snatch Elina off her feet without even so much as a warning and dove into the depths. The savage girl rocketed off in a direction making random twists and turns for about thirty seconds before it dawned on her that if that woman smelled like this maybe she could do the same; this resolved her to shoot off a water clone to make a short trail while Eve herself yanked her friend down an opposite corner, turning into an alleyway and staying in the shadows to stake out.
“That was a lie…. no trust her, ” she growled at Elina blaming the girl for the fact they were found out, pulling all the water for both of them so they wouldn’t leave a puddle trail.
As soon as the woman had heard the word park she spoke about different magical energt moving around likely by other girls. Eve has clearly taken notice of the event happening at the park and wanted to join herself without saying a word to Elina. Elina did need a moment to proces what was all happening with Eve and her dashing off, but more so why this woman was holding them back right now. She clearly knew something about magic so that had given them plenty of reason to place a big distrust mark on her head instead of that gloom.
Elina took a short step back as she clutched both hands to her chest giving a nervous gulp. The woman was trying to make them spill everything they knew about the magic in this city. Eve didn't have much to tell her since she just recently arrived but Elina on the other hand has been here a tad longer. Elina shifted her gaze towards the ground as her body was shaking softly. She never met an adult before that knew so much about the existence of magic and the likes. It was honestly a bit scary, how much did she know was the question. Was she a magical girl too? Could she fight?
The moment Eve dropped her armour her heart skipped a beat. What was she doing!? The second the armour hit the ground a bunch of bubbles came from Eve her chest. Her power? A pinkish hue exploded into her vision as she was shot back several feet. Did she just nuke this woman or something!? Elina fell with her butt onto the ground. Hastily Elina watched around her to see what was happening and spotted Eve some feet apart from her side again. She quickly sprung up to Eve and ran to her side.
Eve pulled her by the hand into a portal that lead to under the surface. Elina had to blink a few times as Eve dashes side to side. Luckily this girl was swift in reactions or else she would have been long done for. Eve came to halt after they entered an alleyway and looked directly towards Elina.
Elina needed a moment to get what was all happening while the primitive girl growled and snatched at her. The woman was lying. That much was clear now. Elina muttered a soft sorry as she felt kind of bad for not having noticed the first few seconds. Luckily Eve was more on her guard from her everyday survival.
"Thank you for saving me there, I'll threat you to some food when we are done.
Elina smiled and closed her eyes for a moment. The sudden change in appearance made it clear she had transformed as well. Her light girl outfit was shown for a brief second before it catched flame and burned it all too ashes to reveal her dark form. Everything close to them would be burned athunder when she was around. The true form of destruction.
The woman stamped her foot annoyed. Those children thought they could run from her. Silly, Foolish, but most of all annoying. Here she was offering simple ways out and they had to turn it into a game of fetch. Still. That eve child certainly proved her theory that the kid was tapping into a different source to her own but was capable of impeaching on her territory. This made her smile under the cloak. A smile of satisifaction as she slowly tapped her wrist, waiting for the...~ Ah there they were.
Eve and Elina would notice the purple dots applied to their chests, a secondary result of her forming hte prison spell, While it was certainly an escapable prison. What guard wouldn't mark their inmates. They would have but a few short moments of recollection and thought before the woman would come flying from their flank. Reaching out a hand to grip ahold of the head of Eve, aiming to disable their escape route formly. It seems that the way she meaned to travel was Similar but different to Eve. Certainly she had to announce her presence to the sensitive little waterdweller before appearing.
But she was moving so fast that even if Eve knew it was coming, unless she knew where it was coming from she'd still have little chance to dodge...
"Your not getting away that easily~" The woman said in the midst of her rocketed lunge.
Eve’s eyes darted all over the closed in surroundings if that woman was from the Sunken place than it was highly likely she could track her when she moved through it so that alone made her want to stop using it or at least limit its usage. Wrapping the newly transformed Elina around her getting ready to move if necessary the bubbles kept forming around her brow and popping instantly matting her head down with a thin layer of pink sludge. If she were the one doing the hunting she’d come from the flank and get rid of the only one that could outrun her that would make Eve a priority target, that plus the creature already stated she wanted her. The girl bet it all on the flank using the water, she pulled off herself and her friend to form a shell of spikes that impaled their pursuer through the shoulder and lower stomach area. The trade-off was that her head was indeed grabbed but because of the slime that was now coating, it wasn’t for more than a few seconds before Eve pulled Elina through the wall into the Sunken World only to pop out on the other side and pull the girl off towards the main street.
“Hide now!”
