The Obivec Isles: Battle for Abbaden [Lore Rich, Lots to Explore]

Oh, there is enough, but I've had my hands full lately.

The Obivec Isles: Battle for Abbaden [Lore Rich, Lots to Explore]

Calieo, quite the pretty name. Had a nice flow to it in Denise ears. But what caught her attention was the description of herself. Denise could not stop herself from chuckling at it. The sheer amount of pride the woman took to the name and what she represented. The amount of surprise that she was not in awe from hearing such a proclamation.

But what broke her into laughter was when she called Helvyra a horse. Calling a golem a horse was the best thing she had heard in quite a while. This really proved that Calieo had no sense of what the world was like. Denise guessed that she had been locked in a convent or a temple her entire life or similar and thus had no idea of what the world was like. Just a shame that they did not teach their people about what was around them.

"I never did claim that it was there; I just said that I know someone who probably knows about it. He has always collected artifacts from around the world and experiment with different things."

Denise shrugged her shoulders and tilted her head slightly as the request to move out came about. She just nodded and patted the golem on the head and they started walking out from the city. Denise sighed and rolled backwards off the golem and onto the ground next to Calieo. "If it's such a hurry, like, the end of the world and such; then we should probably hurry up. Possibly ditching our company, unless you feel them necessary."

She was not too fond of this amount of people tagging along. Or at least walking with them. One more perhaps, but this amount was making her uneasy. If things went the really bad way, she could probably convert Calieo and get rid of one additional person. Two more? Not enough to win, but enough to be troublesome.

"Oh really?" Denise asked with an amused expression. "I guess you like the sight of blood. Don't worry. Where we are going there is going to be plenty of that commodity." She was quite sure of that fact. Even Denise could not cross that forsaken place without spilling quite a bit of blood. Both human and daemon, neither side was very forgiving.

It didn't matter though as Denise walked the streets until she found a merchant that seemed willing enough at first glance. She smiled a warm smile at him as she entered the store. He looked at her with lecherous eyes and she played on that fact. She walked up to him and bowed slightly. "Hello. I'd like to interest you in a business venture. You sell my wares for a thirty-seventy share, me taking seventy, of course."

Denise closed the distance so that she was standing right in front of him and let her magic work it's ways. She made herself look more attractive in his eyes. More willing to follow her commands. Probing his greed and lust and heightening them. "Why should I accept that offer? Especially for such a low share? I'll be storing your things here, taking up space. I should get a much larger share."

She just smiled at his words and leaned in closer and whispered into his ear. "You can get thirtyfive and a preview of the best night of your life." She smiled coyly and bent down.

After about an hour Denise was closing in on the gate. She and the merchant had settled with forty-sixty, her way, in the end. Quite the stubborn man, but easy to influence with her magic. She had already decided to suck him dry of life when she returned for her money. But that was a matter for another time as she saw the knight standing at the gate. She looked quite impatient from what Denise could tell. All the better.

She waved at the knight. It struck Denise that she had not asked for the knight's name. She'd have to do that soon enough. "I forgot to ask you before; but do you have a name?" Denise tilted her head slightly and smiled at the knight. "I'm Denise, and this is Helvyra," she said and indicated with her hand towards the golem. "Also, do you have a horse do you want to ride with me? We've got a pretty long way to go, and I'm guessing you want to get there quickly."

Denise felt warm inside. This situation was ever so slowly turning towards something exciting. Hostility oozed out from the knight. It was, sweet in a way. The taste in the air. The fear of the people around her. It sent shivers down her spine. The hunger inside of her grew. The threat of her losing control was growing by the minute. However, now was not the time for such things.

"A woman after my own heart," she said and nodded towards the knight. Their ideas seemed to be quite similar in that regard. However, the means probably differed quite a bit. And while Denise motives were mostly selfish, the knight's seemed to be for a cause, possibly a fanatic. Fanatics were good for the single mindedness towards a goal, especially if it was beneficial to others as well.

Helvyra grinned as the man turned around towards her. A brutish smile of fury and fire. Did the man hope to fight then flee? Or did he have some illusion about being able to fight her head on? When the man came close enough she dug her foot into the ground and smacked together her hands where his head would had been if he had not taken a dive.

The move caused her to swing forwards from the sheer momentum. Her massive leg crashed down in front of her as her body twisted and turned sideways. The ground shook as the golem came to a standstill. The move would had worked against a regular golem, but not against a soul golem. A golem with a fully functional mind and reactions.

Denise smiled softly as she watched them. He had passed her test at least. He was agile enough to avoid being smacked to death. Her interest had not been in vain it seemed like. "Helvyra, stop, and come back," she said and the golem ignored the man as it started walking back to Denise. She figured that she might see more of that man later. No need to force anything.

"Well, I'll drop off my stuff at a contact in the city then I'm ready to leave. Feel free to follow, or meet me at the gate in an hourglass. Whatever you prefer," she said as the golem returned and picked up their stuff before they both started walking towards the edge of the shopping district. For now she was going to influence a merchant to sell her things for a cut of the profit. This knightly business took precedence.

Denise could not help but to laugh at the knight in front of her. She was amusing to no end. No idea of how the world worked. No interest in it either it seemed like. In that regard they were quite similar. She did not care about the world, but about herself, mostly anyway. The grunt of the golem called her back to reality and she patted its head. They had a weird partnership, Denise and her golem, the sister was always the voice of reason and calm. But Denise could not tear herself away from this intriguing woman.

"Well, monetary wasn't the biggest concern that I had, but I'll take it anyway. Resolve however is different. Where we are going there is no room for doubts." Well, if the knight wavered, at least she'd get a good meal. If her father did not take her for his experiments. She smiled before she looked around the crowd and noticed the commotion. The figure really stood out to her. The emotions of fear and rage around him washed over her. But he himself was calm....dead. That gave her pause for a moment.

"Interesting," she said with a wide grin on her face. "Be a good golem and collect him for me. But leave the stuff behind," She patted its head and jumped down in front of the knight just as the golem dropped the backpack and saddle it was carrying with a heavy thud which cracked the stone on which it landed. It roared and took off towards the man with heavy footsteps, causing people to flee it's path.

Denise closed the distance to the knight and started inspecting her. She sniffed the knight, ran a hand along the armour. Delicious...was her first thought. The pious always tasted better... She wanted to gobble her up.. She stared hungrily at the knight's face for a few moments until she caught herself and cleared her throat. "I guess we should get going once my golem returns with that man.." She said and looked around.

It had been quite a hectic night, a hectic week to be honest. After the first reports of the outbreak her company had been working on the powersupply day and night. Only she and a few had known about what was really going on. Or, even she had not known to what extent it was. She had just been called in to fix their power lines and sewage system. But the infection had spread too quickly. They had not been able to contain it.

For once she had been happy that those doomsdayers had been right. At least when it comes to preperations and constructions. Her company had been working on secure bunkers that could be left self-sustaining for years. At least if the capacity was not overextended, which it probably would be. They had even done a few private ones. Their own cellar was self-sustaining, but not for too long. Along with all her work...she had not tended to it as she should had.

"Good...then perhaps we can avoid any other incidents today...." Amanda said and puffed as she dragged the body of their nanny towards the counter and started putting it into a garbage bag. She had to get rid of it somehow. Not only would it start smelling soon, but the mental trauma for Lizzy.. Not only had she been there...she had to see it as well.

Amanda tried her best to look calm and normal as she returned into the living room of their house. "Now...." she said quietly as she crouched down in front of her daughter and gently placed her hand over her's. "We can either wait here...or we can try to make it to the shelters. That or far away from here."

She tried her best to calm Lizzy down as she gently looked at her. Amanda wiped away some of the grime from her face before slumping down next to her daughter. "I'm sorry about Cait." She finally said and sighed deeply before patting her daughter's shoulder and stood up once again to find something for them to eat.

Just as I come home as well. ^^
Perfect timing!

The golem under Denise shifted uncomfortably during the conversation. The fundamental difference between soulbound golems and normal ones, this one had a mind of it's own. Denise's former sister was like any other person, so to speak, however she could not go against anything that Denise said, or do anything to harm her. She was a slave, no more, no less. But now this slave was getting uncomfortable.

Denise patted the golem's head. "Oh, but it might turn into my concern. Because if you want to go there, you'll need me as a guide. And that place is incredibly deadly, and the person who might hold the information you seek is not kind to strangers. So...currency does not concern me too much, my life however...is a very different matter."

She paused for a while. "So..how much are you willing to give up? Your life? Limbs? Your soul, cast to eternal damnation?" Denise chuckled. "Because there's no way I'm going back out there without knowing your commitment, and what's in it for me, of course."
