Orcs and War[rivaan&Valcyrie]

Adalia had gone back to her mansion and down into the basement. Underground, was where she was doing magical experiments with her mages and witches and of course the experiments were dangerous, but she never did anything that was morally wrong or anything like that, she always tried to be careful with everything they did, and they never experimented on live creatures of any kind. They used wild plant life and whatever they could find that could work as a platform for whatever experiment they were doing, but they wouldn’t risk a life of any kind. The big room she was inside now, had a large bright blue crystal in the middle, hovering above a hole in the floor that seemed to go on forever, at least you couldn’t see the bottom or hear anything you threw into it, hit the ground, which meant it was deep, very deep. This crystal was the largest experiment they had going on, while there were worktables around the rest of the room with other smaller experiments, such as equipment enhancements and so on. Now, the crystal was the thing that was taking everyone’s interest. It was glowing brighter than it had before, which meant that it was reacting to something, which they hadn’t seen before. Adalia and her mages and witches had a theory that the crystal could be used to open a portal to another place; however, they had no idea of where that portal would lead them too, if it were indeed a portal. The reason they believed it to be a portal, was that the magic that pulsed from it, was similar to the magic used in teleportation. It was just in a much larger scale, which meant that if the magic it pulsed out was on a much larger scale already, without being fully unlocked, it would contain a very big mass of magical output and mana once it was fully unlocked. Adalia and her mages and witches started to analyze the pulses that came from the crystal and record their findings in the recording crystals they had managed to create as well. These crystals functioned as diaries, where they could record their findings, results, and experiments and so on, so that they wouldn’t forget or lose any of their research.

In the meantime, though, it seemed that something was happening at the training session, where Rose was standing and observing the training. When the training suddenly stopped and Chalsea fell to the ground, everything turned rather chaotic. From the way Chalsea’s men reacted, Rose knew that this wasn’t normal, which meant she had to do something. Their request for a healer would take too long if she was indeed burning up from the inside already, so Rose would have to be the help they could get. She ran over to them fast and looked at the men holding Chalsea. “Keep her steady and on two feet. If you lift her from the ground, I won’t be able to help her.” Just as Adalia, Rose had changed her aura and her attitude. Her green eyes had become much darker and green sparks were igniting around her hands for a short second now. She placed her hands on Chalsea first, getting a feel of her temperature and how conscious or unconscious she was now. When she had an idea about her state, she smashed both her palms into the ground and sat down on one knew with her head bend down towards the earth, which made her look like she was kneeling. From under her hands, the ground started to rumble and shake a bit and in a second later, something was moving through Chalsea’s body. You could see it on her legs and the rest of her body as well. Everyone could see small vines growing through Chalsea’s body, slowly moving like snakes through every part of Chalsea’s body. Rose wasn’t moving from the ground, but she was sweating heavily, which could also be seen by everyone, as she was dripping with water, a lot of it, onto the ground. She was starting to burn up inside as well, for whatever reason Chalsea was burning, but she now slowly raised her hands from the ground, and as she did, the people around them would be able to see that small green vines were attached to her palms, going through the ground and up into Chalsea. If some of Chalsea’s men could think fast, or any of the White Stone City soldiers could think fast, they would realize that the vines was transferring whatever was happening inside Chalsea’s body, into Rose’s body. This was a dangerous technique Rose possessed, it allowed her to absorb whatever cause the other person pain, but without having the time to analyze the situation, which meant she could in theory be transferring a death spell, that would kill her if she were not careful. Now though, she managed to absorb all of the heat and cancel out what was happening inside Chalsea, and just as she finished, the vines snapped from her palms, detracted themselves from Chalsea’s body and went into the ground again, leaving no trace of themselves.

Rose then staggered to her feet, breathing heavily and shaking badly. She looked up at Chalsea and her men, her eyes still dark green, now with blood running out from her eyes, though it was gently washed away by the rain. “You are…Fine now.” She said, coughing rather aggressively after those few words. When she got a hold of herself again, she took a deep breath. “But I don’t know what happened to you and I can’t explain what magic was inside you. But I strongly suggest that you think about what you changed the last few days, to make your body react like this. It is not a normal reaction that comes from nothing, this reaction, feels like it was expected to happen at some point.” She said, coughing again and holding her hands onto her stomach. “I need to go back to the mansion now. You should get some rest too.” She then turned around and started to walk away. As she did, her eyes turned back to their light green color and her mind altered the memories of what had happened, so that Rose thought she was feeling sick because she had had a blackout from helping the soldiers and Chalsea with the training and nothing else. Whatever had happened, Rose had no memories of it and the only thing she truly remembered was that she said she was going back to the mansion to rest and get better, which was what she was going to do now.

Orcs and War[rivaan&Valcyrie]

Adalia noticed the whispers that came to hear ears, after Chalsea had ordered the soldiers to start running. She looked up to the witches and gave them a soft smile, her eyes changed from a light purple color, to a deep dark purple color. She had picked up on the magic the twins used to whisper to her, and used it to whisper back to them “The key to everything, is understanding, my two younglings. You will know the truth of the world, as the gates open.” A small laugh, which could have sounded like an evil laugh, ended the sentence with the two witches. Then Adalia’s eyes turned light purple again and she looked back at the soldiers, while seeming like she didn’t know what had just happened. Rose seemed to have noticed nothing as well, which was kind of strange since she was standing right next to Adalia when the whole scene played out. However, since Adalia and Rose seemed to have some sort of connection, they might have been affected by the same kind of magic or whatever had affected them. Whatever was the case, the aura that had followed the whispering back to the witches, had been full with blood thirst and desire to kill, though it was unsure if it was something she desired to do to the witches and Chalsea, or if she wanted to do it to someone, or something, else. The aura that had reached the witches though, had been a very very strong magical one, something that should have been enough to, if not scare the witches, at least worry them and get on their guard for the time being. Though the aura was now gone and Adalia and Rose was watching as their men was going through the training that Chalsea was commanding.

Adalia didn’t know what to expect from the training. She knew that her soldiers had already taken up difficult training and exercises to keep them in shape, but it seemed Chalsea thought she had some other way to train soldiers. Adalia knew that Chalsea and her warband were effective on the battlefield and it seemed like they didn’t have the same feelings holding them back, which could be a good thing. However, from the explanation that Chalsea had given Adalia about how she relaxed when she was fighting and felt free and so on, Adalia knew she didn’t want her soldiers to feel like that, exactly. What she wanted them to be better at, was reaction time and fierce powerful striking with their swords and abilities and so on, which it seemed that Chalsea did know how to improve. But only time would tell what exactly would be improved for the soldiers through this training of hers. Rose looked to Adalia with a small smile “If we get more effective, we will never lose a battle or be close to again. We will always be able to defend the White Stone City.” Adalia nodded with a small smile. “Yes, that we will. But we can’t ignore the rest of the world forever. If the Orcs are expanding their territory and abducting villagers and citizens from other kingdoms, we will have to march out one day to help others fight this war. Don’t mistake the Orcs retreat as an ending to the war, they have merely stepped back to form and regain their numbers before they move again. They might not try to take the White Stone City again, but they will certainly move to try and conquer other kingdoms and villages, to further strengthen their numbers and expand their territories even more, for whatever reason they might have.” Rose nodded a bit before she looked back out at the soldiers “Well, whatever the case may be, we will be ready to deliver a fierce battle to the Orcs, something they would never have tried to defend against before, and that will be our way of winning this war. Through surprise and strength.” Adalia shook her head a little “You are wrong. We will win this through patience, stealth and surprise. When we have those three things completely mastered, then we can deliver a strike so powerful that we will win. But as it is right now, the Orcs have something hidden that we don’t know of, something that helps them in their campaign against the rest of us, and that is why they have the upper hand at the moment.” Rose thought about that for a moment and sighed “I guess you are right, I just want to kill some of those bastards for what they did to my brother..” Adalia nodded “And you will get the chance, but you have to be patient.”

Adalia looked off into the distance now, and she could see that the clouds were getting darker. It was going to rain, and probably a good long time before they would be finished with their training, though she was sure that Chalsea did not intend to stop the training just because of a little rain. Once the soldiers had finished the laps around the city, Adalia walked over to Chalsea, leaving Rose behind where they had been standing this while time. She gave her a soft smile “It will soon rain, and it will be hard rain. Thunder will come as well. If you wish to keep training, I will let you do so. My men will not back down either, but I will have my mages set up some protective barriers around you all. The rain will come through, but the thunder will be repelled should it strike down into the earth. The Steppes are known for having many thunder strikes that hit the ground, so it is rather dangerous to be out here while the storm is going on, but I won’t stop the training because of the weather. It will just improve their chances of getting better when training in stormy weather.” She smiled. “However, I have something I need to attend too. If you wish, you can join me later for a bath once you finish your training. If you have other plans, you are welcome to carry them out before the bath as well. Just let Rose know what you would like to do, and she will give me the message. I will leave her to observe the training and report to me how it goes, as well as leave her to give me any messages there should be. I wish you the best of luck during the training.” She smiled, bowing gently to Chalsea before she turned around and walked away with those beautiful hips of hers.

Rise Of The Elder Dragon (Vor x Valchyrie)

Feyra Acor was deep in conversation with the other agents that had arrived to lead the expedition. The problem was not so much the expedition in itself, the problem was more about what they should do if an Elder Dragon attacked them. Whether or not it existed was not important, they had to be prepared for the worst, and the worst was indeed an Elder Dragon. They couldn’t afford to fall on the battlefield without giving the vital information to the rest of the world, if there was indeed an Elder Dragon. However, could they just leave the helpers behind? They still had quite a few people who would pull wagons for them and carry their supplies, but would it even be possible to save them and get away with the information at the same time? Feyra Acor didn’t think so, and she spoke against it with the other agents. She was known to abandon people if the stakes were high enough, some thought she did it just because she wanted too, but the reality was that she didn’t bring the mission in jeopardy just to save a few non-essential people. If the other agents didn’t agree with her view, she didn’t really care, out in the field, you would have to be prepared to leave everything and everyone behind, and Feyra Acor was willing to do so. That was the same reason she had become a feared necromancer, as she didn’t put her own needs first, but the mission she had been given. After she finished her mission or objective, then she would take care of her own needs, but the mission always came first, hence the reason she also didn’t mind leaving people behind if it meant finishing the mission. But it seemed that the other agents from the Vigil and The Whispers didn’t agree with her view on things, and she had to respect and accept that, after all, these agents were high-ranking agents as well, and they had just as much experience on the battlefield as Feyra, they just didn’t have her mind or magical abilities.

After about an hour of discussing, while everyone else had been waiting for them to finish their discussion, they had finally laid down a plan for the expedition. They would go to the mountains far away, and see what they could find, and during their trip, they would always keep one agent behind the expedition and two agents in the front, while there would be one agent who functioned as the scout. Feyra Acor had agreed to be the agent that stayed at the back of the expedition, not because she wanted too, but because she had the abilities to slow down enemies that would attack from behind. The two Vigil agents would lead the team from the front and the agent from The Whispers would function as the scout, as she was specialized in stealth and infiltration and could hide in the shadows while scouting ahead. Feyra could summon the necessary underworld creatures and minions that she needed to keep the enemy from reaching them from the back, which meant she could more or less raise a minor army by herself, to buy the rest of the expedition time to prepare themselves for the battle. This was of course just the plan for the journey itself, there was more to the plan once they would arrive at the designated location, but for now, this was all the rest of the expedition needed to know.

The two Vigil agents went out through the Black Gates to make sure that no one was waiting for them outside. One of the agents were wielding a two handed sword and the other was wielding a mace and a shield. The scout had already set out on her own journey, to scout ahead for the rest of the expedition, which left Feyra back to explain the plan to the wagon drivers and carriers and so on. She sighed annoyed at the fact she once again had to speak to the crowd of people that was going with them, but she had no choice. She turned to them all, and while she started to walk down to the back of the expedition group, she started to talk as well. “Listen up! This is the plan for now! The two Vigil agents will stay at the front to function as your guides and front defense, should we all be attacked. Our agent from The Whisper order will function as our scout! She is in charge of giving us information about the enemy position, terrain and other important details we need to know, therefore, she is scouting ahead most of the time, and will only return every third hour to update us! I will be the one staying at the back of the expedition, to act as a defense from the back! Therefore, I don’t want to see anyone slacking off or making the rest of us move slowly! I’m not picking any of you up if you fall! Either you will follow the speed that we move in, or you will be left alone! This is an important mission and every one of you have an important part to play! That should keep you moving and in high spirits! Now go!” and with that, she was at the back of the expedition. The front of it started to move now and they were all going out through the Black Gates, where the two Vigil agents were now starting to lead them forward. Feyra Acor was at the back now, determined to get this journey started and finished as fast as it could possibly be done.

@Ambiguity

Awesome! I replied now and I hope you liked it.

I love piecing this world together, it has so many wicked things! Hopefully you are okay with them xD haha.

But I love writing about her killings <3

Augmented World (Ambiguity & Valchyrie)

Sierra heard the message sound appear while she was checking out her target. She opened the game window again and read the mail with a small grin. “We’ll see. Maybe we can play together another time, though I don’t normally take on friend requests.” She said, but accepted her anyway. It was rare that you found someone that was as good as Cypher, so it could be fun to have her as a friend in the game. However, she had to get back to her email to see who the next target was. It proved to be a politician, one that wanted to expand military power and close off borders for people that wanted to come and live in the country. That in itself, was not a crime, even though Gravity Zero didn’t agree with him, what was a crime though, was that her intel suggested that this male politician, Garvy, had received huge sums of money from companies that created weapons for the use of warfare. In these days, there were companies that made weapons for defensive times and only sold their weapons to the army if they had a contract that said it would be to defend and not to start a war. Though there were also companies that wanted to go to war as they could benefit heavily from that, and they gave Garvy a lot of money to try and push for more provocative politics that could result in warfare, and an increased income for those companies. But it was illegal for a politician to get involved with anything that had with national security to do, which meant that while it was a political agenda, it was still lawbreaking, and Gravity Zero didn’t need any more reason than that.

Five days later, she was sitting with the technology tube attached to her back again, and she was hacking into Garvy. She searched through the thousands of tech-DNA that was in the city, until she found his. Then she latched herself onto it and forced her mind into his systems. Now that she was inside him, she could see that he was in a meeting with someone, on a top floor of a building. This was going to be a lot of fun, and more brutal than the last one she had killed. She waited though, wanting to see what would happen. A case was presented to Garvy on the table in front of him and when it was opened, there was a prototype of a weapon inside. Supposedly, it was a gun that should be able to dismember any soldier on the field, mechanical or human, without making a big mess. A clean cut, so to speak. Gravity Zero grinned “Perfect.” She said to herself. Before long, she had complete control over Garvy’s body, and played a long with the meeting, while Garvy’s only possible action was to look at the whole scene unfold, without being able to say or do anything else. “We hope you like our new advances for warfare, this gun should provide excellent and fast results.” One of the weapon dealers said. Gravity Zero forced Garvy to smile and take the gun. She could get three birds with one gun here, and she would, besides Gravy breaking the law, the weapon dealers were as well, as they perfectly knew that getting into politics was an illegal act for them as well. She raised the gun fast, and before the two dealers could react, she made Garvy fire the gun. A lazer blade shot out from it and cleaned both of their heads in half, splatting the whole room with blood and brains, killing them on the spot. Garvy tried to gain control without knowing what was going on, but he couldn’t do anything. Gravity Zero then turned the gun to the arm she wasn’t using, and fired it, cutting the arm off from the shoulder. Blood was flowing out heavily, but she wasn’t done yet. She broke the glass window in the room, threw the gun out of the room and grabbed the arm that had been shot off, which was still whole without any damage to it, other than it was no longer attached to Garvy’s body. Then she turned towards the broken window, and ran and made Garvy jump out while holding the severed arm. She didn’t leave Garvy’s body until he was halfway down the building, and then Garvy was allowed to scream, though he only managed to do it for five seconds before he hit the ground and pretty much made blood fly everywhere. Again, it was in a crowded street, though today it was raining, so the blood was flowing with the water rapidly. Because of the technology in the blood, Gravity Zero could take control of it, at least for a short while until it was no longer responsive. She made the blood gather in the water, and wrote “GRAVITY ZERO” in cursive bold letters on the ground, and with that, she logged out and detached herself from her hacking devices in her apartment. This could have been a clue to the police department about who she was, but the thing about this was, that taking control of the technology inside blood, was something that was very very difficult to do, and only someone who was either a very highly evolved VI, or had a hell of a lot augmentation inside their body, would be able to do something like this, and even then, the blood was taken control of, AFTER the host had died, which meant Garvy couldn't be the one to do it.

Six days later, it was a Saturday evening. She had agreed to meet up with Cypher, after they had managed to play a lot of rounds together. It proved to be more fun, and challenging, than she had expected, and it seemed that Cypher had thought the same. Gravity Zero still didn’t know if Cypher was the woman’s real name, but she supposed it wasn’t, like Sierra wasn’t her real name either. People would probably think she was making a joke if she told them that her real name, or at least the one she considered to be real, and the only one she remembered, to be Gravity Zero, but to her, it was her name and she wanted to keep it. This Saturday, she was meeting with Cypher at around 10 PM in the Burst Galaxy Bar. It was a bar that had an age limit that said twenty-three. They wanted to keep the younger crowd out, and have a place where the richer customers could be allowed to drink and let loose, without having to be annoyed by people who tried to make them pay for drinks. If you came to this place, it was because you could afford it. You were allowed to take a friend with you, that weren’t up in the high salary parts yet, as long as you took care of them, but no more than one. Gravity Zero wasn’t sure if Cypher was actually rich or whatever, but since she was allowed to bring a friend, she saw no harm in meeting with Cypher in a place that actually allowed them to talk and meet, without dumb youngsters interfering. Gravity Zero was dressed in a long black sleeved shirt and long black baggy jeans. None of her skin was exposed though. Her skin was also working rather well today, so she didn’t need gloves on her hands, though she did have to wear her mask as that part of her face was impossible to do anything about. She could still drink though, as she could manage to slip a straw underneath the mask, without exposing the real sight of her lower half of her face. She didn’t wear any underwear, as it was rather uncomfortable with the way her body was now, but it couldn’t be seen from the way she dressed. On her feet, she wore black socks and a pair of black high heels. Basically everything was black, the only thing that was slightly different, was her dark brown hair, that was on the border of being black, but not quite there. She had changed her eyes to the color of blue, so that she didn’t give away how much of her body was augmented. Her eyes normally had a silver color, but it was impossible to be born with that color, and not many people had the augmentations needed to change the eye color to silver, so it was better not to raise any suspicion, as she already had to explain her mask, probably. Her own augmentation did make it possible for her to change to another eye color, though she had to update her systems if she wanted to change what colors to change from, as she could only have one besides her original silver color.

She was sitting up at the bar now. The reason the bar had the name it did, was because the whole ceiling of the bar and the walls, looked like the real galaxy and universe. If you didn’t know it were walls and ceiling, you could easily have been fooled to think it was the real thing, that was how real it looked to anyone that was new to the bar. It also proved that the bar was expensive, as it took quite a heavy load of cash to get something like that made on the walls and the ceiling. She had a drink in front of her; her hair was loose and hanging down to the middle of her body right now. She was waiting for Cypher to show up, and she was unsure what Cypher actually looked like, but she had given a description of herself to Cypher and had told the door attendant that if someone came to ask for Sierra, as that was the name she had decided to use for tonight, he should let the woman inside. Now all she had to do, was wait for Cypher to show up, and see how this evening and night would turn out.

Augmented World (Ambiguity & Valchyrie)

@Ambiguity

Yes she will, part of the mystery! :D I'm writing up the reply now as well :)

Augmented World (Ambiguity & Valchyrie)

@Ambiguity

Indeed :)

And sounds good, and I agree, we would probably both lose interest then. Yeah, I can time skip it to the first meeting, that's just a meeting and a night out thing, not a date, but a friendly meeting, and take it from there :)

Augmented World (Ambiguity & Valchyrie)

@Ambiguity

Great post! It's okay it's short, you've given me enough to work with anyway ;) hehe.

It does remind a little of our own roleplay I agree hehe, so that's just awesome ;)

It would be fun to continue doing them, not too much though as I think it could drag out fast, but like once in a while we get into a game :)

Hmm, I'm not sure, it shouldn't take too long, but that's why I said that we could time skip instead of playing out all the games they play together before they meet up.

For example we could time skip now, up until the day where either of our character invites the other out. Or maybe it's not really a date-date as such, but more like, they both wanted to meet up and have talked about it for some time, and then they finally decide to meet somewhere :p

Orcs and War[rivaan&Valcyrie]

The following morning, Adalia had woken up and gotten dressed in her royal battle uniform again. She wasn’t going to actually participate in the training, but she wanted to be prepared in case the Orcs wanted to return to try and conquer them again. She didn’t expect that the Orcs would be coming back so soon, but since this was a whole new tactic from the Orcs, it was better to be safe than sorry in the long run. While she was still in the mansion, though standing at the doors leading outside, Roes Tyre came down from the first floor, also dressed in her white battle uniform. She gave a soft smile to Adalia “It seems we both have the same idea.” She said with a smile. “I’d rather not be taken by surprise if the Orcs should come again.” She said. Adalia could see that behind that smile Rose put on, sadness and thirst for revenge was boiling and moving around. She understood why Rose felt like that, the Orcs had killed her only family member, but Adalia hoped that she could get Rose to forget about it in time. Adalia gave her a soft smile “I’d be pleased if they didn’t attack us again, but it seems that in these strange times, we never know what’ll happen.” She said softly. She wondered if Orcs and war was the only thing that these new times would bring, or if there was more brewing in the world. She sometimes felt that there was an energy somewhere out in the world, that felt much like her own, but most of the time she dismissed it as an illusion because she was immortal and she might be searching too strongly for a sign, which created a false sign instead of a real one. She shrugged the thoughts out of her head for now and focused back on Rose. “If you’d like to join me, you’re welcome to follow me outside the castle walls. The soldiers will be training there with Chalsea and her warband. We’ll see how the training effects the soldiers that wishes to participate.” She said. Rose nodded a bit “I’d like that. However, I won’t participate myself. I have my own methods of training.” She smiled.

With that, they left the mansion and walked through the city until they reached the gates that led outside. Adalia was still thinking about what came through her mind the last night though, that she knew Rose from somewhere, or had seen her somewhere else, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. Rose was walking next to Adalia and while Adalia was lost in her own thoughts about Rose, Rose was lost in her thoughts about Adalia. ‘I know her, Adalia, I remember her from somewhere. She is known as the immortal Queen. I have managed to stay hidden so far and my brother, though not blood-related, was the only one who knew the truth about me. But how much does Adalia remember? It seems she doesn’t remember anything at all, whereas I remember surroundings, cities, places that I haven’t seen in this world.’ She thought to herself. She had gotten close to Adalia, and perhaps it had been a plan of hers for longer than she realized herself. She hadn’t actually planned on getting to live in Adalia’s mansion, she hadn’t even planned on getting to know her, but maybe part of her subconscious had taken advantage of her brother’s death, to get close to Adalia without making herself realize it, until now. She sighed a little and moved her so that she was looking straight again. They were now standing outside of the gates, having walked a bit faster than both of them realized while they had been lost in their thoughts.

All of Adalia’s soldiers were gathered outside on the Steppes, and it was really all of her soldiers. None of them had been forced to take the training, but they had still all shown up of their own free will. Adalia smiled at the sight and even Rose had to admit that it was rather impressive that all the soldiers had shown up by themselves. Adalia wasn’t sure if Chalsea had arrived yet, but the sun was up and beaming down hot on everyone outside the city walls. No soldier was wearing the special gloves anymore, they had all used them long enough to having their senses sharpened permanently and without any damage. “It’s an amazing sight. To see all those white shining armors and soldiers, ready to become stronger to protect the White Stone City.” Rose said with a small admiration in her voice. Adalia nodded “It is indeed an amazing sight, one that we should treasure in our memories, as we don’t know when we will ever get to see something like this again, unless it’s before going into battle, in which case, the beauty might be taken out of the scene.” She said, still smiling to herself a bit.

Orcs and War[rivaan&Valcyrie]

Adalia listened as they walked towards her mansion. “It’s quite fascinating that someone can use their own rage to become stronger, even if they do lose their minds.” She said with a small nod. “I have heard of it and seen it before, but I didn’t know much about it. I understand it a bit better now after you have explained it. But since it also takes their minds away, it seems like it’s a trade. Keep your control, but gain no powers, or let go of your control, and gain a lot of power.” She said. She thought it was interesting how people could use different ways to get stronger, but of course, she didn’t like when there were downsides to it. She knew that only in a perfect world, would it be possible to gain something without giving something, and even though her invented gloves did just that, it had taken a long time and a lot of experimentation to construct them and make sure they functioned properly. This glove and the mana shards were the only inventions they had managed to finish and get to function in their desired ways, even though they didn’t know the full effect of the mana shards just yet. “Let me know what you think of it when you’ve tried it. If you don’t like it, I won’t mind taking it back again.” She said with a smile.

Adalia smiled “And I’m the leader of a city. I think I know what kind of responsibility rests on your shoulders.” She said softly. “You have a right to push yourself as hard as you want too, but you will die from pushing one day, and it won’t feel like it’s the right way to go. However, it’s not for me to tell you how to live your life, I can only speak my mind and hope that you will take some of it into consideration.” She smiled. “I would hate to see you go down because of your health.” She moved her arms behind her own back gently, folding her hands together there as they walked. “Just remember that most people should always have time to experience life to the fullest. I know you don’t have a family or anyone special, or you wouldn’t have been able to come as fast as you did to help us, and I’m not saying you need to have that, but even someone like you, needs something to relieve yourself from the stress sometimes.” Adalia looked over at her and gave her a small wink. She wasn’t a woman who spoke directly what was on her mind, especially not when it came to privacy pleasure, in this case, sexual pleasure. She didn’t mean that Chalsea had to have a man or a woman to go to bed with, but the feeling of letting go and feel the waves of pleasure coming through your body, was healthy, and Chalsea had to remember to get that feeling once in a while. Though Adalia was unsure whether or not Chalsea actually was interested in those kinds of feelings and acts, but she supposed that someone like her, a warrior and a tough one, could like those moments a lot, especially if it was on the wild side.

She shook her head a bit, clearing her minds of those thoughts now before she looked at her again, giggling a little at how Chalsea now swung her imaginary waraxe to show that she relaxed in combat. “Well it depends on what kind of battle you are fighting. Some battlefields do require planning on logistics, but I get what you mean, and I suppose it’s a good way for a warband to relieve some stress once in a while.” She smiled at her. Whether or not it would be healthy in the long run, Adalia wasn’t sure about, but if Chalsea wanted to do it like that, then she wouldn’t get in her way, she just hoped she wouldn’t get herself killed because she relaxed too much during a battle, and not having thought about the consequence of her actions. She looked to Chalsea’s hand as the ring rejected the glove. It was a bit odd, but she supposed some magical items naturally wouldn’t like each other, so there was no reason to worry because of that. “Just try it when you have time, and let me know what you think of the effects.” She smiled.

Now they were finally at the mansion and once they got inside, Rose Tyre was passing through the entrance hall. She stopped up with a cup of tea in her hands, dressed in a black nightgown that went down to her knees. She smiled at Adalia “Welcome home Milady. Thank you again for letting me stay here.” She smiled, giving a small courtesy. Then she looked to Chalsea “Welcome back Ms. Chalsea, don’t let me keep you here.” She said to them both, and walked off into the living room of the mansion. She was a beautiful woman as well, it seemed that the White Stone City had a lot of those walking around, and right now, there were two of them in the same mansion, Adalia and Rose Tyre. Of course, Adalia thought, Chalsea was beautiful as well, but she wasn’t a citizen of the White Stone City, so she didn’t count that into the thought. Adalia looked to Chalsea with a smile “She will live here from now on as well. A long story, one that I do not wish to share, as it is her privacy. But she is a good woman.” She smiled. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I will go to my room and shower before I get some rest. You should do the same.” She smiled at Chalsea. With that, she walked up the stairs in the entrance hall, her hips swaying alluringly but naturally, as she walked up the stairs and down the hall to her own room. Inside, she walked to her own private bathroom, the one that Chalsea and Adalia had shared was also a private one, but it was bigger and not in Adalia’s room, and undressed. She sat down in the bathtub, lit a few candles next to her and enjoyed the warm bath soaking her skin. After about an hour, she was finished with everything; bathing, cleaning and drying, and was lying in her own bed with dark blue silk sheets and covers, and in a light purple night gown and panties. She wasn’t sure if she was going to be able to sleep, but at least she could now relax in the bed.
