"I'm...fine. Thank you. I...do not know what came over me back there. I'm...sorry." Came his soft reply to David.

Yakeru had walked silently beside him ever since they had gotten out the tower. He felt ashamed, thinking that he had been a liability to the rest of them. He had acted all brave but when he faced both women, his body had refused to listen to his mind. Granted, his mind had been set on other things but fighting so perhaps it had been for the best. If David had not pulled him out of it, who knows what could have happened. If this would happen again in the future, it could spell doom for all of them.

Though he also felt glad that the feeling he had when he was eye to eye with the hooded lady, was fading with every step they took away from her. Unbeknownst to him, it kept lingering somewhere deep in the core of his soul and quietly he agreed with David.

Yes, there was certainly something about her

The city was burning all around them with bodies littering the streets and the now ruined houses or buildings. Goblin patrols let them pass and Yakeru could see that the bodies were collected on carts to be brought outside the walls and thrown on big piles. Had they been the only survivors of this onslaught? And why? Why had she spared them? These questions moved around in his mind until they had reached the outer gate. Where the odd kinda wizard, introduced himself and invited them over to his house. He was tired and getting hungry, as if he had not slept in days and had not eaten for much longer than that. It drowned out the other depressing feelings he had a few minutes ago and a smile formed on his face again. Then, he realized he had not introduced himself yet to anyone.

"I am..." He wanted to say 'Miyazaki Hakaru' as a force of habit but he stopped himself just in time. That person was dead. "...Yakeru. We were lucky that you woke us up mr. Avant." He bowed his head in greeting.

Than he raised his head again, cocked an eyebrow, seemingly being how he had been before the thing had happened with the Witch.

"Hm questions? Oh good. I think we have plenty of questions for you. For example, where are we exactly, how did we get here and above all why did we really get here?"
@TheFox Dagnabbit, now I've got Yakeru x Witch fanfiction going on in my head. >_<


Well I'll keep that in mind for their next encounter ;) will be great to write that.
@Zool Thanks mate, had fun writing it.

I agree with you, wonderful posts to read.

@Thinslayer Mission accomplished lol
Yakeru blinked. That was all it had taken for the armoured, blonde woman, who had entered soon after the hooded lady, to stand behind him. Her cold voice brought a shiver down his spine and all the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. He did not dare to turn his head and he did not know if he could if he wanted to. Even his legs did not move from their place. He had never felt like this before, the fear that gripped him at that moment. If he could he would have run for the hills, hide and never look back. Filled with shame, he bit his lower lip and looked at the ground in front of him.

When the hooded lady spoke, he raised his head towards her. It was not a voice he had expected to be. Her words soft and kind and it strangely filled him with a certain warmth. His sword felt heavy and his mouth dry as she came closer to him. He felt as if he had lost the ability to speak or that his mouth was glued shut. Or perhaps he simply did not want to disturb her.

Is she putting me under some kind of spell?

Her tone had gotten a bit more flirtatious and he could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks. As she touched his chin, he nearly dropped his sword. He tried to see her eyes through the holes of her mask, wondering how she looked like behind it. If her looks matched her voice, she would probably look stunning. Her finger on his chin felt warm and it made him long to be close with her and forever be in her embrace and bask in her warmth.

Why are you even thinking this, you pervert! Concentrate!”

The grip on his sword tightened again and he closed his eyes as fast as he could and kept them closed for some time before finally but carefully opening them again.

He got pulled away from her a bit by his arm. It was David who had brought him back to his senses. His voice sounding decisive, calm and wise. Obviously he was right, and leaving here would be the best course of action for all of them. Better to live and fight another day than die here for nothing.

Though when the hooded lady spoke again, Yakeru got drawn toward her again. He tried to fight this feeling, not knowing what would happen if he would give in to it. He felt that he could not trust himself right now. It all had been a bit much for just a few hours after being shot and waking up in this world, not fully understanding the body he was inhabiting.

“Take...me...out of here. David, please...help...”
Yakeru's reaction is written down and can post it if you want.
@zerofighter Yakeru genuinly would feel the hair on the back of his neck standing up with Mai so near. Even I got chills imagining it.
Already looking forward to what will happen next, haha
Posted! ;)
They had managed to push the goblins back into a retreat, though the shield blocking them now would prove to be difficult to breach perhaps. Yakeru deflected an arrow with his sword and hid behind the cover of a nearby pillar. He cursed loudly as another arrow flew past him. At least they could not hit him from where they were. He knew he could not let them escape and he tried to get the attention of David and Mackensie. If they could lay some cover fire with their crossbows...

Then the door from which they had entered earlier flew open in a cloud of smoke, revealing something that looked like a massive knight. The raw power that resonated from the walking terror was almost overwhelming. And not just for Yakeru. While he was still wondering if the knight would be friend or foe, he charged and hacked into the goblins. Their shield did not do them any good as it was ignored by the sheer force of the blows the knight gave them. Truly impressive to say the least. Yakeru stared at the scene with open mouth as the goblins tried to make their way back outside, closely followed by the frenzied knight.

Yakeru decided that this was a good moment to engage and push forward, the knight providing a good distraction as he waltzed over them like a bulldozer.

He managed to cut a straggler who did not get away in time, slicing him diagonally from shoulder to waist, staining the floor with its blood.

Suddenly, however, the gobs stopped as their way out was being blocked by a company of knights. The ideal time to strike them all down. Though there was a change in atmosphere and a terrified voice yelled something Yakeru could not hear well. More voices repeated the same thing followed by screams and howl in desperation or pain. It chilled his blood and for a moment it seemed that this was the only thing one could hear. As the screams eventually stopped as well, an eerie silence followed.

A hooded figure of a woman walked into the lobby, her spear still dripping with fresh blood. Now he knew what had happened to the knights outside. She had all the authority that made everyone known that she was the leader of the army attacking the city, not only because the goblins bowed for her or how she acted, no it radiated from every fibre of her being. For Yakeru, she was exactly how a villain or an antagonist would look like. He gripped his sword tighter and swallowed visibly. If this would come to a fight with the main bad...woman, he did not know if they would make it. Hell she defeated single handedly a whole company of knights.

He could not see her eyes through her white mask but he could sense she was watching them. Carefuly. Deliberating. Then she bowed her head, while stepping out of their way, pointing her bloody spear at the entrance.

Does she intent on letting us leave? Just like that?

It was a tempting offer because perhaps they were in over their heads and this way they might survive. To be honest who and what were they even fighting for exactly? He quickly shook his head trying to make that thought disappear. This would be the point of no return for them and he had made his choice.

“Just like that, huh? Why would we trust that you would let us walk away unharmed. You haven't even introduced yourself.” He took a few steps closer to the hooded lady. “Perhaps you could come here, kneel down before us and beg for forgiveness for all the carnage and innocents you and your army have killed. Maybe WE would be inclined on letting you go unharmed.” His words were bold and haughty, though his heart felt frozen as he knew her gaze would be locked on him.

“So? What say you?”
@Zool

Yup, fitting as well lol
