“As Luna says, Fio. The mountains central to Albion are the home of the giants. Luna’s family has ties to the giants, so her judgment should be sound when dealing with them.” Sorcha replied to her court mage.

“As for myself, Luna, Fio.” Elnith smiled. “This armor was forged by them. They’re quite the generous people, if reclusive.” Her gaze turned to Fio a little, before smirking and seeming to stifle a laugh before shaking her head. “I’m sure they’ll welcome us with open arms.”

“The heart?” Sorcha continued, addressing Reinhardt’s concern. “...Hm, I did not think it terribly important myself. Such a cursed thing can only bring more curses, but…” A moment of silence as she pondered her knights question. “...If its a request, I can speak with the Harzel knights upon meeting them. Otherwise, it would have been theirs as per the agreement. Now then, Fio, Luna, Elnith.” She turned to the three of them. “You are dismissed. Feel free to leave soon as you are prepared. Luana…if you truly do have a desire to serve me, then join me in the throne room. Ethelred, Reinhardt, you have sometime to prepare, or join me as well if you wish.”

“Lugh and I will remain here to oversee Airedale.” Vyrell smiled, turning his head towards Sorcha as she left the room. “Ah, and my Lady, when you return we can discuss certain events where an important person was absent without telling anyone.”

“...A-ahem, yes, very well Vyrell.” Sorcha responded, swiftly leaving the room and heading out into the throne room, expecting Luana to follow.

The older woman said nothing as Eliz made to retaliate. Blade drawn, she’d hold steady, not wavering as she would soon be in Eliz’s strike range. Myrilla simply smirked in response, her blade gleaming in the sunlight as she’d catch Eliz’s claws with it, a resounding sound of claw and scale raking against the metal of the sword.

“That’s a good attitude, demon,” She’d respond with a sharp coldness. “Lets see how arrogant you stay after I shatter your limbs like your fragile ego.” Eliz would hear it first. Gunfire as Myrilla’s other hand would draw the pistol at her side faster than the demon could register. The next thing she’d know, was pain. Right in her head, under her chin as a bullet plinked off her face. The blade was pulled from her claw, a swift motion followed as the blade went for Eliz’s neck.

Something told her it’d be dangerous if she let the blade connect

“Nyeheh, why am I cute? Cuz my mama made me~!” That was Lyssa’s response to katherine’s query of why she was the way that she was.The pink haired maid paid no heed to Katherine’s protesting, carrying her swiftly into the manor, making sure to have a firm grip on the Firbolg’s posterior as she’d run up the stairs towards the opposite wing. Past a few other maids, a very confused looking Rosanna before finally finding their way to the sitting room.

“We’re heeeeere!” Lyssa barreled into the room, cat still slung over her shoulder.

“...You could have chosen a more delicate way to enter.” Sitting on one of the luxurious looking couches was one Livia Fiore, teacup in hand, bringing it to her lips to sip from the beverage.

“Ahaha, pfft, that’d be boring though~” Lyssa walked over, and proceeded to grab Katherine by the waist, and sit her down on the opposite couch. “Well, my job’s done, ta-ta, i’m gonna go raid the kitchen for pancakes!”

“...lively, that one.” Livia curtly responded with a small smile. “Unlike you. Maid Katherine Lindall, was it?” Standing behind Lady Fiore was another maid. Long, violet colored hair, a small pin on her uniform of a nightshade flower. “Perhaps I should have Nynnette here personally correct your lack of manners on greeting your employer.” The maid, Nynette merely smiled demurely but said nothing.

Hmm~? A girl was kidnapped?~ I'm appalled you think I did it, ufufu~

• Name:
  Shimizu Kaori
• Age:
  Forever 18~
• Gender:
  Female
• Race:
  Jorogumo
• Appearance:
  A youthful, beautiful appearance that belies her true age. True to the myths, Kaori possesses a supernatural beauty befitting of her nature in order to seduce and charm. Often appearing no older than high school age, she typically dresses in elegant kimonos when not masquerading as a student or working. Shoulder length black hair tied at either side of her head, and her perhaps most striking feature is the obvious heterochromia, though she says she wasn't born with it. The matter of fact it is an old injury she got when she got a little too...rambunctious. As long as you ignore the fangs and pass off the occasional spider leg as your imagination, she's a totally normal and harmless human~
• Personality:
  As a Jorogumo, one knows what to sort of expect from Kaori. A man-eating seductress that seduces men with their charms in order to feast on them or slowly drain them of their vitality with a potent venom. Kaori is well, exactly this. Overly friendly, playful, a little teasing when she must, but polite, kind, affectionate. She knows how best to seduce someone using her charms. The only, perhaps, difference with the Myth is her choice of food...cute little girls instead of men. Make no mistake, she is a predator at heart. Playful, lascivious, and will always take an opportunity to make someone put their guard around her down so she can have a little afternoon snack. Thankfully, she mostly behaves as long as someone hold her proverbial leash, and shows her at least some manner of affection themselves.
  
  For the most part, though, generally, Kaori is a friendly little if somewhat troublesome and impish spider much preferring to be friends rather than enemies or rivals. However, while she is quick to show physical and intimate affection to the girls around her, she is quick to fall into a rather listless, broody, mental state and falling back into old habits if such affections aren't returned by those around her especially after repeated rejections or just going for so long without it...and this is her totally, definitely, valid reasoning for having her spider friends take stealthy panty shots or her propensity to grope and tease the women around her.
• Abilities:
  Her most obvious ability is her physical strength. While not quite as powerful as an Oni or perhaps a tengu, compared to a human or most other Youkai her strength could be said to be at least a low A tier, able to handle herself quite well against most threats physically. Coupled with her extra appendages, she's fairly adept in physical combat even if she primarily relies on ambush and hit and run tactics, emphasizing her agility.
  
  As expected as well, Jorogumo silk possesses supernatural strength, being equivalent to steel and yet remaining extremely flexible, breathable, and workable. Easy to bind, slow down, or overwhelm prey with it. Sharp and deadly, razor thread is one of the main things she uses to defend herself with, easily able to decapitate and sever limbs. Coupled with her ability to manipulate fire or her potent venom which can be used to physically weaken people in short term, the threads can be rather dangerous beyond their razor sharpness.
  
  Her fire magic and venom are a bit more niche in their uses, primarily for covering her tracks. In combat, fire is mostly used as simple fireballs, jets of flame and mixed with her agility and threads to envelop and burn foes to death. Venom, even more niche, she can coat her threads in it to deliver a potent venom even at a distance to weaken foes physically.
  
  A more understated ability is her ability to speak with and commune with most arachnids. While not directly useful, the ability to gain information from all spiders around her shouldn't be underestimated when dealing with oddities and curious happenings or events. Her shapeshifting ability as well - her natural form is more that of an Arachne, but appearing as a beautiful woman is an easy enough feat.
• Skills:
  Domestic abilities? Check! Cooking, cleaning, sewing, first aid, hugging, hand holding, massaging...as you can see, she's an extremely talented little spider. The last three are her most skilled subjects~
• Equipment:
  Her kimono and all her clothes are made out of her silk. Strong and durable, and the perfect defense against anyone touching her cute little friends. Flirt ask nicely and she might make you one. Unfortunately she says her talents only work for cute girls (lie). She'll also need to do a fitting. Be prepared for a lot of unneeded touching.
• Brief Backstory:

About seven years ago or so, a highschool girl went missing, snatched on her way home from school. No trace or leads to what happened. The only possible clue was a note book, badly burned and only a few pages legible. Days passed. Then a week. Then months. No leads, no clues about what happened. Rumors started about a urban legend that would snatch unsuspecting girls up on their way home. No one thought to suspect the odd new student at the school...after all, she technically wasn't even in the roster, but she was so polite and fit in so well no one questioned it. Forging documents were easy enough, too.

Then a year passed. The girl, showed up, dazed. Confused. Slightly drugged and a bit physically weak but otherwise completely fine. She however, could not recall anything that happened. Only something about a woman taking care of her through the entire year. With no leads, there was nothing else to be done. Three months passed. Everyone assumed there wouldn't be any breakthroughs...until another girl went missing, in an extremely similar fashion from the same school. Except, she was on her way to the park to 'meet a friend', the only source of this information being a badly burned notebook where a page managed to survive.

After another year, the girl was returned. This odd series of events continued to play out for about four years. A perplexing series of events where girls were kidnapped, and then returned after a year. Around three years ago, however, this pattern would slowly start breaking. Two girls kidnapped. Neither returned until a year and a half later. Then four. Five. Seven. Whoever was doing it, was getting more aggressive, but still no leads. The police were stumped. The only evidence was burned and discarded items, and on a few occasions a notably high presence of spiders in a persons home.

A year ago, is when this case was brought to Tomoko. It would not take the girl long to piece together what was roughly happening, even if it was a bit odd. A jorogumo, was kidnapping highschool girls instead of men...and not eating them. Perhaps, that's why Tomoko didn't deem it necessary to exorcise her. After a small confrontation where Kaori couldn't bring herself to harm a cute hair on Tomoko's head, she ended up willingly joining under the logic 'Someone has to protect this cute little girl, so I'll do it!'

No other intentions at all, definitely not.

The girls were all safely returned home.

“Eh? Family?” Julene cut up some beast meat, grabbing a few things and shoving them into a oven to warm them up. “Used to have a mum and dad, but…well, beasts got ‘em when I was little. Gilles and I basically raised each other.” A shrug as she’d walk out of a door in the back, taking a jug with her before quickly coming back with a full jug of water. “He’s older than me if ye believe it. By nearly ten years.” She’d set the water jug onto the desk, frowning lightly. “And what about you, miss redhead? You got family?”

The razor wind rippled past, ripping at the ground and tearing chunks of earth out from around the vampire’s frozen barrier. The retaliation was instant, the spear lashing out towards the things beak. A solid thunk, as the ice met the hardened maw of the beast. It recoiled backwards from the impact, its larger body staggering a few steps away from them as Luna lunged towards its limbs towards immobilization. The blade sunk into the nearest limb, earning a shriek from the enraged avian as mystical chains appeared in an attempt to bind it.

Giselle was not close behind, her blade sinking into its neck, but the avian was quick to recover from the icy impact, bringing its beak down onto Giselle's head before attempting to flap its wings to put a bit of distance between it and the vampires, only to find its wing completely chained to the ground from Luna's spell.

It likely had been a majestic creature once, but now where there was majesty there was only decay. The feathers on its head had completely fallen off, revealing an emaciated frame around its eyes, dull sockets having no eyes, only voids where they should have been. Its beak, as long as a tree trunk and just as thick had holes in it, but was just as sturdy as ever and still multi colored. Its wings, mottled with decay.

It didn’t seem too threatening, aside from getting the jump on the vampires as it’d get low to the ground, its bound wing straining against the bonds and likely to break free soon.

The beast stared for a few moments, before its massive frame would begin to rise off its two front claws, standing on its back hooves as it would pull itself up onto two of its legs, easily now dwarfing Argus in height…and coincidentally, rather oddly, Argus would notice a sort of…seam on the things chest, running down from the bottom of its muzzle to its abdomen, almost looking like a…zipper, almost. An interlocking series of small horns.

A few moments to register this before the beast roared, dropping back down into all fours and charging Argus at surprising speed, its front claws swiping savagely at the vampire.

"Ahaha, she thinks rather highly of herself." Cecil smiled nonchalantly, ignoring Shaels protesting about being much stronger then a lesser spirit. She had to keep moving, though, as the arrows were drawn off course in that moment of brief banter Cecil quickly pivoted, ducking low and rolling along the ground and quickly getting back to a knee. Interesting, okay. She could likely draw her arrows in with that magic of hers. She'd have to enchant them to even have a chance at hitting this lady.

It was a shame she had such little mobility here, on top of that the flow of wind down here was terrible.

"Whew, almost thought I'd have to be a little faster." She'd question, talking fast and thinking even faster. "But that's fine, I don't particularly wanna take this whole dirty business seriously either." Two arrows knocked, but instead of a straight shot, Cecil arced the bow to the side as she'd fire. One arrow, carried by a fast moving wind in a long arc towards the woman from her right, while a second did a similar to her left in a pincer.

“You must be Luana.” Sorcha would respond to the hermit, unfazed by her excitement. “If you wish to talk about elves, I would be willing to at length. I lived among them myself for quite a while until a few years ago.” Sorcha offered Luana a smile. “I could tell you at length about their civilization and nature.” The Queen’s eyes slowly fell to Luana’s spear, and though she said nothing it was clear her sight lingered on it for a few longer seconds then likely was necessary before turning back to Luna.

“I see, Sarah…hm…well, no one I know at least. Perhaps she’ll make her way towards Airedale, we’ll be sure to give them quite a warm welcome then.” She’d turn away from Luna, walking by Luana. “A pleasure to meet you, we can talk a bit after this meeting. I would very much be interested in and if you would be willing - be knighted into my service.” She’d give Luana a friendly, if somewhat strong pat on the back that would cause the hermit to stumble as she’d laugh, and move towards the table next to Vyrell.

“OKAY! Good, you’re all here!” She’d shout, loud enough to be heard outside of the room just to get everyone’s attention. “I want to thank you all for your assistance and endeavors these past few weeks. Especially you, Sir Ethelred, Sir Reinhardt, and Dame Elnith.” She inhaled. “To think that a Wyvern Lord of all things would be the cause of that destruction.” She shook her head. “Dragons have not been seen in Albion since the time of the Old King and the fall of Varakel. To say this is…troubling is quite the understatement. The fact you could even slay such a beast is merely a fortunate coincidence that Reinhardt happened to be present.” A pause as she’d let the knights take in the words before moving on.

“On that topic as well, Vyrell and I have been corresponding with Harzelslack and a knight by the name of Sir Lonan. We have come to an agreement regarding said Wyvern. We will share half the spoils from it. We shall get the scales…and they shall have its bones. Its meat shall be split between us. In return, we shall also make a joint operation to clean up some Wyverns near the Llothbrokr mountains. Since we killed it, more Wyverns have only shown up and have been terrorizing the surrounding areas. To handle it, I will personally take Sir Ethelred, Sir Reinhardt, and Lady Luana, if she would be willing, on a cleanup mission along with Sir Lonan, his Squire, and another of the Harzel Knights. As for Fio, Luna, and Elnith, I have something more personal in mind for the three of you considering Luna and Elnith’s relationship with the Giants of the mountains.” Sorcha turned her head towards Luna. “Find us a Giant smith. One that can work Dragon Scale in a forge into weapons and armor. We shall have need of it.”

She seemed awfully certain of that.

“Fio, I’ll put you in charge of that operation. See to complete it however you see fit as long as we get ourselves a Giant Smith.”
