Bible of Ichor: Septet for the Dead

"Turn you into a vampire?" Akyasha replied, "Well, it's possible but..." Giselle spoke before her. The cleric seemed to have a small difficulty as she had actually considered it as an option but had already shelved it. Less out of pride and more out of concern for what a brand new vampire might do. The number of vampires were dwindling in this day and age and the cleric knew that more numbers were good, though it was a small problem as far as blood supply went. The real problem was the lack of control one would have on a vampire. Thralls were easy to control based solely on obvious factors. A vampire could do most of what they wanted.

"A vampire that doesn't worship Ichor even moderately concerns me. I hardly would even ask you more than a prayer a week to start and to learn of the goddess' graces and our tenets." Akyasha thought on it for some short seconds. The cleric rubbed her temple. "I believe Giselle and my offers are fairly similar at this point, if that's the thing that would be required for us to have you join us. A vampire, though, I would in return ask you to join the sisterhood I plan to rebuild. However long as it may take. It's the small price to pay for power. Fret not, I'll teach you the basics of being a vampire along with the knowledge of the goddess." Akyasha mentioned, "I know you don't desire to be bound to another, but there is only so much one can promise in a system as such."

The cleric was a small bit desperate. She was not about to let the last day of work go to waste. Whilst she would not have considered this course of action so easily prior, Giselle pushed the ante up tremendously.

"I'm sure your girlfriend wouldn't mind you talking to some people at the least." Luna mentioned letting go of the woman's shoulder. "But you're a hunter with knowledge of these mountains?" Luna asked, her face turned into a smile. "It'd be really nice if we could take you with us. We're not all too knowledgeable of the terrain around here. Is there any way we could convince you to join us?" Luna asked, curious though she was a bit suspicious of the woman, especially with the bandit comment. "

That situation worked itself out for the most part it seemed. Lyssa seemed to convince him which was great because Katherine wouldn't be able to coax a child like that. "I wouldn't plan on telling your father. I wouldn't want to get fired." The firbolg said with an attempt at a genuine smile. She didn't say much more just in case she opened her mouth and sabotaged them in the process. It was sadly something she was fairly aware she did to herself. For now, all she had to do was follow the kid and hopefully something came of it.

"Everything is a manipulation tactic." Akyasha mentioned with a shrug glancing sideways at Giselle ever so quickly. "Unconsciously all thinking beings manipulate each other with their thoughts and emotions." The cleric then changed the topic. "But yes, forced to serve me for the rest of your unlife. It's not so bad. I don't even mind if you speak your mind, so long as your not overly rude or speaking ill of the goddess. Think of the power you stand to gain with this. The power to defend yourself and even protect those around you. Power that you would fail to gain if you stay in this pitiful form of a human."

"Is it not worth that power?" Akyasha asked with a smile as she brought a finger to her ear. She touched behind her ear, causing a blood lily to slowly start growing from it. "If you join me, I'll turn you into a wonderful knight and a commander." The flower seemed to stop growing by now as a fairly sized lily comfortably settled on her ear. "It's a fairly simple process, really, if you wish to agree. Simply pluck the flower from my ear and settle it on your own. Then, you simply pledge yourself to me and most importantly to Ichor. I usually prefer something a bit more ceremonial and elaborate but circumstances as they were this is the best it probably will be for now."

"Do I recognize this?" Katherine asked, "Of course. Crest of a blood demon clan. I believe it was the 'Silxtratch' clan. Low ranking within the first circle. They have the ability to manipulate metals in... some way. Of course, I'm not a demon so I couldn't tell you how that's done, Lyssa. Perhaps someone with more first hand experience could tell you." The firbolg mentioned, not specifying who she might possibly mean by that statement. "Really though, your father had that in his study? How curious. I wonder why that was there." The maid mentioned with a small shrug. "So were you here to try to figure that much out?" The firbolg asked, folding her arms across her chest.

Luna grabbed Cecilia by the shoulder. "Oh, you know Fio is the court mage for Her Majesty?" Luna asked with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't remember saying anything about Airedale or Queen Sorcha. Nor did she remember Fio saying anything about it. "Have you been around Airedale to know that?" The knightess mentioned with the puzzled look on her face still. "How about you stay here and have a drink with us if you've been there." Luna said, not sure if she wanted this woman to go. She was somewhat suspicious with her motions but she tried to not let anything show on her face as more than a puzzled look.

"Ahh, Giselle. Pleasure to see you. Yes, dealt a horrid hand perhaps but that's gamble you take when you decline an offer before you knew what you needed." The nun giggled as she moved close to Julene. "Now, if you were to ask how we were able to beat monsters such as that? That's an easy answer." The nun pulled the human into a tight hug whether Julene wanted or not. If anything, it were to prove the pure difference in strength between them if the human tried to break out of it.

The cleric then spoke into the human's ear. "We gave up on our humanity a long time ago. Humans are poor, weak, frail creatures. Have I not taken more than enough damage in the past day to kill a normal human at least 5 times over? It is all because I have given my all to my goddess, Ichor. I had nothing. A poor, frail human. I can't even remember what I was like at the time." The nun said as she released Julene from the hug. "Now, I'm quite the powerful woman. A vampire. A being above human and one that can give you the power I can tell you crave and desire. Power that would enable you to protect the villagers here, if you so desired. The only price is binding your heart to both me and the goddess. A small price, is it not? Gaining a family to protect your village?" The vampire held her hand out to the human then anticipating a positive answer.

"Drag you off to your room? Only if you make us. We could be friends or we can force you back in your room. Your choice, really." Katherine mentioned with a smug smile. "We were ordered by someone who should be in their room to go clean up or whatever it is we do. We could make that the priority if you wanted. Only if you have a little chit chat with us. Otherwise, we'll be forced to strong-arm you back into where you belong.

The firbolg maid then pointed to Eliz with a smile. "I wouldn't even have to raise a finger myself since I believe she's more than capable... And willing... To take you back." Katherine would rather hope the demon would try to project an image of power. That's what she was hoping for. If they could get the child to spill information about where his father kept things, well, that made it a lot easier for them.

This place was quite interesting. Luna did not expect there to be what seemed to be a human run place of business in the middle of the giant's town. She was rather impressed that there was a fine split between what was easy for a giant to relax in and what was easy for human-sized creatures to relax. "Yes, let us discuss our plans then. Perhaps we can talk of things unrelated as well. Even as a Lightsword it's not too often that I've had much of the pleasure of talking with giants in an extended period."

It was then that Luna looked over and noticed someone else in there. A human wearing quite the interesting outfit. "I didn't think there would be any other humans here." Luna mentioned to their giant benefactor. "Perhaps we should go say hello. Doesn't hurt to know who else is around, at the least." With that, Luna made her way over to the other human she saw.

"Greetings! I didn't expect to see another person of below giant size while here." The knight said, "Lunalel Lightsword. Pleasure to meet you." The Lightsword said with a smile.

"So she left home did she?" Akyahsa asked her bats that found her home comforting. It didn't take long to find her however. Akyasha walked up on her and noticed her cleave a training dummy in half. Perhaps this was the moment to dig into the girl's psyche? The red-headed cleric smirked and moved close to the now sword-less human. "My, I wish you could have done that to the monster earlier. Well, I suppose you can't help it when I had to pull you away from the jaws of certain death that awaited you... Twice now, in fact." The cleric mentioned, letting her words hit a mean tone to them. Almost petty even.

"So, what's got you looking disappointed? The aforementioned? Feeling too powerless to save the town?" The cleric added with a smile. "I think all humans are guilty of being too powerless to save those around them at times." The vampire then smiled smugly. "Well, some can't even save themselves as well, I suppose." While it wasn't blatant, it was easy to tell those words were directed at Julene herself. "But I suppose humans can only do so much without help."
