Of course, that was also an acceptable method of removing unwanted guests. She however, was much more of a fan of using such people for entertainment…unfortunately, this was neither her party nor the type of people she wanted to shame if she still wanted good relations with the church.

“A paladin and a Clergywoman from the Oros church,” Livia greeted as she’d approach the two. “Now there’s a surprise. To what do we owe the pleasure of the churches’ magnanimity.” Immediately, the paladin tensed, hand moving to her weapon as she’d glare at the trio approaching her.

“...it is quite alright, Madeline.” The clergywoman responded. “Lady Fiore of the Maison d’Violette. I could ask the same of you.” A servant passed by, offering drinks to the group which Livia gratefully took.

“Hm? Didn’t expect me of all people to be here, miss…?”

“Cassandre Marcien.” She bowed politely. “I was told that you may be here, and if you were that what we assume is correct. That simply leaves the reason why you left the church in the dark about this.”

“Mhm…Dear Marcien,” Livia responded with a sigh. “Keep talking like that and people here might get some wrong idea. The good count has decided to show off his collection of antiques. Nothing more nothing less.”

“That aside, Miss Fiore, who is your entourage?”

Now that they were inside, they could at least blend in with the other maids. Probably. Several were moving about, the hustle and bustle preparing both the dinner for the evening as well as making sure everything was absolutely spotless. Amidst the chaos the three would at least, go unnoticed so long as they didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.

“Office, huh…” Lyssa frowned. “I don’t think he’d keep anything suuuper important like what we're looking for in an office.”

A quick glance around would show that they were likely in an area specifically meant for servants to work in. A few bunks for live in maids could be seen not too far away, and checking further down the hallway showed a long, well cleaned and decorated lobby where a few maids were talking with a stern looking butler about cleaning it seemed. They could also hear shouts from a nearby kitchen. Rather curiously though, a young boy could be seen doing a terrible job of trying not to be seen as he’d poke his head around the corner of a hallway and scurry off down another thinking he hadn’t been seen.

the only other potential lead that they had was the maids quietly whispering about lord Havershel often spending long hours in an art gallery on the second floor.

The claw going for Akyasha met her axe, the claw being stopped mid swing as the force of the blow strained Akyasha’s arms, likely fracturing a few bones in her body from the sheer force as she’d follow suit, ripping her axe from its claw and spinning, aiming for the things neck.

“Not planning on it!” Julene replied with a shout. In tandem, Argus’ cutlass sliced into the beasts neck, a long gash being driven into its jugular, blood spraying from its body in a red, sanguine mess. Akyasha’s axe was not far behind, the momentum cutting a long, if shallow gash down the creatures neck just in time for the weapon to once again meet the creatures claw as it was moving to slam into her again.

This gave Julene a proper opening as its neck just barely missed going for her.

“You wanna eat something, fine!” She’d hiss, before its mouth closed and tossed one of the bombs into its neck.

The thing reeled back, seeming not too bothered as it’d stand to its full height - the light from the bomb could be seen first as the thing exploded outwards, chunks of flesh and blood liberally being flung from the explosion as the creature screeched, falling over onto its side…but not quite dead yet as it’s ragged breathing, trying to stand once more as its now mangled neck barely was able to hold itself up.

Forest of beasts

Frozen lance and bloody ribbon sliced through the air. Kodelia roared, the red threads of the spectral hands forcing her to move still, but for all their machinations, they themselves were not adept at defense or movement it seemed. All they could do, was use Kordelia as a meat shield, Giselle’s ribbon slicing into the bestial vampires hide as she was forced to block it - but she however, could not completely stop the frozen lance or the lashings.

Red threads were severed.

The hands shuddered, as Kordelia’s body froze, the last of the red fate-stealing threads severed.

And then she fell.

her heavy, bestial body fell to the ground.

All at once the forest fell still. Silent.

She wasn’t moving.

Suddenly, Giselle would hear the quiet thumping of the heart in her possession, and the dagger she had taken, felt hot.

Feed her…my child, feed us.

A voice, sanguine but so very comforting.

The spectral hands themselves, however, were not dead. With a twisting of their fingers and the two hands into what seemed to be a prayer, they would merely sink into the soft earth, disappearing into its depths before it could be taken out completely.

The giant paused, turning his attention to the human that had greeted him. A scowl, immediately painting itself over his visage as the muscled, gargantuan humanoid looked down at the group of humans that Gunnrun had brought with her.

“Lightswords, eh?” He’d chuckle. “A bother? Oh sure, a lightsword is never a bother.” He’d fold his arms. “But since when do the lightswords go gallivanting around as knights in service to a so called queen of some dirty human village, huh? Go back to lookin’ after the graves of our ancestors and get out of here. Don’t care what you want, I’m not looking to help.”

“Master Grettir maybe you could ask them about the heirloom…”

“And what? Suppose I could, suppose I could just go there myself and take it from those whelps myself.”

“And get yourself expelled from the city!”

“Yeah, well, I don’t much like anyone here anyways.”

“...Lonan! Move!” Sorcha shouted, her own blade being drawn as she’d move into action herself. There was no keeping up with this beast on their own. It was far too fast, far too agile. It might not have had the sheer destructive potential of the black wyvern, but it had a different deadliness about it.

“Too fast!” The swordsman shouted as the beast was much faster than he could react too, even as he’d summon his spectral steed, the beast had already reached its target. The land drakes claws rent into their armor and flesh, leaving them alive, but only seconds later did all collapse, dead onto the ground. “You cowardly beast!”

The drake merely laughed at this assertion, its claws ripping into the neck of another knight.

“Lonan!”

“Everyone retreat into the fort!” He’d leap into the fray, blocking a blow with his own blade from the drake as it’d make a move onto another of the knights. “The Queen of Airedale’s knights and I will handle this!”

“Ethelred, Luana, slow that beast down as much as you can while the other knights retreat!” It was too late for the dozen or so knights that had already been slain, but if they could slow it down as the other knights at least got to safety.

The drake moved again, beelining towards another group of knights, much faster than they could retreat.

Kaeru & Nyoko

Stealthily....stealthily....quiet....

Down the hall in the confusion, ran a very stealthy and very talented little cat. Quicker than lightning, and talented and more cunning than even a kitsune (Self proclaimed). A singular goal was in this beings mind. A singular, sugary, baked, goal that smelled of cinnamon and sugar. She'd quietly plop along behind the secretary as she'd place the rolls down on a table in a break room. Nyoko had to say, it was such a shame to let these all go to waste...so it was a good thing she was here to remedy this.

As the sirens blared their warning of demons, she astutely observed her target. As soon as the humans back was turned -

Fwoomp

Quick as lightning, she snatched a bag and two rolls, stuffing them inside of it and was now hiding out of sight on the other side of the room.

The woman turned back around, a bit perplexed as to both why the box was opened and now why there were two missing from it. With a small shrug though, she brushed it off and went to grab her a small saucer upon which to store two of the confectioneries herself.

Fwoomp fwoomp

Upon returning, she'd find not two more gone, but four!

Nyeheheh. The sight of the confused woman admittedly amused her as the secretary started looking cautiously around the room for anyone trying to play a prank on her. Seeing nothing, she went to close the box and make another check of the room before quietly leaning down to look under the table -

fwoomp

May day may day, landing zone calculation error!

"Eh!?" The secretary gave a small shout of surprise as she'd suddenly have a face full of bluish white fur, as Nyoko completely missed the target of her little leap, struggling briefly before climbing on top of her head and mewling.

The jig was up! Time to bail!

And thus, the expert cat thief bolted from the room before she could be caught, leaving just a somewhat bemused secretary behind.

Kaeru listened as intently as he did about anything. The situation seemed urgent, at least that much he did gather. Fifteen beast class and one greater Devil class? He was pretty sure he remembered the classifications well enough from reading up in his spare time. Beasts were small fry that he was incredibly confident that he could simply just slap them from existence. Devils though? Two classes up, after Monster. He was honestly a little uncertain.

"Emi's so serious." Kaeru giggled, flashing her a grin before answering Natsumi. "Sounds exciting to me, red" Natsumi, wasn't she? Maybe he should dye his hair such a vibrant shade of red at some point, it definitely looked good on her...Oh, he was being spoken too. "These guys don't sound any tougher than the guys at the dojo. Granted, some of them...I feel like they lose on purpose, but they're all pretty great. Some smelly demons won't be a problem." It would be his first time fighting some, but he wasn't nervous in the least.

Maybe it could be argued excitement over this was worse, though.

Kaeru would decide to be the one to sit across from Akira, strapping in his seat belt and flashing his senior a smile, perhaps, looking and acting a bit like the school girl that Akira looked like she was more than she did. It was now, that Nyoko decided to make her stealthy return, fwoomping into existence in a flash of lightning, bag full of Cinnamon rolls hanging from her mouth. Kaeru gave her a thumbs up as the Raiju took her usual seat on his lap, passing him the goods with a satisfied mewl...and promptly decided to start stuffing her face with one.

"Sooo, uhm, Federica was it?" Kaeru turned his attention to his fellow new recruit, biting into a cinnamon roll. "I'll be trusting you to have my back out there since we're both new here~"

Kaeru & Nyoko

---

"Not gonna lie, kinda excited Nyoko." Kaeru giggled, walking at a decidedly unhurried pace. Behind him, a furry creature that resembled something of a large cat, almost seeming to be a miniature tiger of some sort with bluish white fur. This 'Nyoko' as she was apparently named merely mewled in response, seemingly in agreement. "What do you think they'll be like? Wonder if there's anyone I could spar with. The guys in the dojo are sooo weeeak." Another giggle as he'd stride along at a casual pace, heading for the DDF building. "Sometimes I think they even like it...weirdos."

Another mewl of agreement from nyoko as she'd disappear in a flash of light before quickly reappearing on Kaeru's head in a mere instant.

"Ahaha-hey! hey! Watch the hair I spent way to long on it ya know!" His pleas fell on deaf, feline ears though as Nyoko continued to make herself at home, the large feline not having too much room to laze around though, ended up instead laying on top of his head, front and back paws dangling off either side of his head. "Tsk, fine. You're lucky you're cute - ah, we're here." He already thankfully had his orientation a few days ago, but he had yet to see any real deployments or combat. This was the first time he was supposed to really meet anyone on the team beyond just an initial greeting. There was supposed to be someone new too, wasn't there?

"...Ah?" Opening the door to the building, he could hear the alarm before he even opened the door and the activity from inside could be seen from outside, too. Kaeru couldn't help but to grin. This meant there was a demon right? That wasn't something someone should be excited for, but man, he really wanted to test himself against a demon and see just how tough they were.

"Alright, lets-mhm? Do I smell...cinnamon...?" It just so happened, Kaeru entered the building just behind Fedrica as she'd run off to the meeting room and hand off the cinnamon rolls to the receptionist. Well, on one hand he really shouldn't linger, but on the other hand those smelled awfully good. He'd take a moment to consider his options before glancing up at his soon to be co-conspirator. "Psst, Nyoko?" The Raiju, apparently had the same idea already and before he even said anything, Nyoko had already leaped off his head and was following after the baked goods. "Bring like...five back for me!" He'd whisper to her as she'd leave. "And if I remember right...meeting room this way!" He'd run off down the hallway as Nyoko began the greatest food heist in the DDF's history.

He could already see most of the others gathered, plus someone he hadn't seen yet. She looked kinda tough. He had to wonder, just how tough was she? If this was any other situation he might have challenged her to a round of sparring, but well, that probably wouldn't look good. Instead, Kaeru chose the reasonable option of walking up behind Kubo, and giving her a rather pat on her back.

"Hiyooo, Emi right?" He was pretty sure that was her name. He hadn't been around long, but he made a point to remember most people he had been introduced too during orientation. "No need to give the new girl a look!" He'd say, as if he wasn't still mostly new himself. "I know she's kinda scary looking but hey that's got its own vibe to it ya knows." He'd greet her cheerily as he'd walk around her. "Reporting for duty! New recruit Kaeru Nakanishi and...Nyoko. She's around here somewhere. Don't worry about it she'll be here before we leave. Probably..._{if she's not busy getting fat...}" That last part was said in a low, grumbly voice.

There was a good chance she would eat most of them.

“Suit yourselves.” Gunnrun shrugged, seemingly a little disappointed by the lack of being able to help more. It would not be long before the group found themselves down in the valley, mountains to either side of them as they trekked through a sparse, rocky forest. Not that Gunnrun had much trouble with the foliage, easily finding her way through the tall pine trees.

It would be a little after noon when the group would finally reach their destination. Gunnrun would have to help them up the final hurdle, lifting most of them up a sheer cliff that was little more than a stepping stone for the giant, and once they’d finally be pulled up they’d find themselves standing in front of a massive gate carved of pure white stone.

Either side was flanked by a humanoid giant carved of the same stone, the one on the right holding a giant hammer. The one on the left of the gate, a sword held at chest height, extending across the gap between the other giant, seemingly serving as the top of the gate itself as it extended across two sides of a mountain. And beyond, the party could see the massive houses and dwellings that served as the homes for the giants.

Leading them through the gate, the party would get some friendly hellos from other giants. Some commented about Gunnrun needing to stop bringing strays home, and others asked if she knew some humans had followed her home again. She’d laugh such comments off, leading the group to a place where they could store their horses for now and soon to a workshop.

“So uhm, before you go in. Mister Grettir…he’s not exactly really fond of humans a lot.” She’d say with a bit of hesitation. “Before even this stuff happened, he wasn’t really fond of them and this has really soured his opinion more-”

The door to the workshop opened, nearly bonking Gunnrun in the face. A gray haired giant stepped out, a long grey beard extending down to his chest as he’d briefly glance at Gunnrun. He was shirtless, save for a large apron with a number of forging tools held in it and long, thick pants.

“Master Grettir!”

“Gunnrun. Where ‘ave you been?”

“Oh you know, out.”

The other giant hadn’t noticed the humans yet.

Luana, made it towards the fort just in the nick of time. The dragon only slowed only as Elia’s rammed his shoulder into the beast, sending it flying wildly off course. It however, did not stay down for long, rolling across the ground and acrobatically leaping on its front claws several feet away from Ethelred, the lance just barely missing the beasts body by a hairs breadth. The other knights, if they weren’t already aware of the situation, were now.

“Luana, was it?” Luana, in her haste would nearly bump into Lonan as he exited the castle calmly, the Queen behind him only a few steps, followed by Grainne who seemed to have taken the time to inform the both of them what was happening. “Seems our meeting will be cut short, your majesty.”

“Hmph, a creature such as this shall not pose a problem.”

The drake narrowed its eyes at the group.

And then it laughed.

“I know…better than to fight a losing battle.” The dragon moved, its speed as uncanny as ever as its claws instead, turned on the rank and file knights as it leaped towards the castle. “Consider this…a parting gift.” It leaped off the side of the castle, launching itself towards a small squad of rank and file knights at the top.
