Defect

The ookami went silent as she said her home place. The creature glare was now more fierce and excited. The girl had made a foolish mistake indeed. She was a citizen of the pig infested city which once held him in a cell for years. It was like he was given a gift of payback. Already he saw visions of how to chop up her limbs in his mind.

Oh, really now thats very interesting to hear. Did you know your city is no longer a haven? That most of your people who worship that so called god are now dead? Did you know how much i want to end your life at this very moment little girl. Though i have bigger plans for you!" He says with a evil glare.

He grabbed the girl by her throat lifting her up in the air. Such a choice on whether to kill or not. Though what will be the point. It would not satisfy his cravings. Then he looked at Lucas. Maybe his kin should give the option. It would judge what the ookami stood for at this moment.

"Tell me Lucas should i sacrifice this human in the name of Saekanis or enslave her to be my puppet for another day?!" He asked with a evil laughter. The ookami squeezed the girls throat but not enough to kill her. It was just to make sure she didn't go anywhere.

"Oh little girl you looking at a worshipper of Saekanis! A ookami who will kill for just looking at me in the wrong way! Though tell me do you have any use for me?! I like to hear something good!" He says with a evil laughter.

Silence.

 It's dreadful - for the small duration, until she finds herself gripped and manhandled by the big brute, feeling her throat strangled and her feet dangling. The lack of air causing her to cough and gag at his insensitive and rough-housing decision. However, she wasn't just a 'human' child. No, there's something about her, which in this case- he would find the flames of her magic erupting underneath his fingertips.

Was he strong enough to withstand the flames?

The fire that burns so brightly around her body in defense? Ack, she cannot speak, muted by the struggling of strength laying so thick against her neck. And it so happens her life is decided by someone else- it's icky, oh dear, her thoughts are jumbled and all she can really do is pray.

'Kraus help.'

That's barely managed in her mind, all the whispering and conflicting, she's finding it hard to think properly. But the flames do not mask her fierce attempt of getting released by him.

'Please s-stop.'

(Vira)
Well there was very little to be had in this world... and a woman of Jezebelle's stature was very much at the cusp of something great, her eyes narrowed at the Ookami lifting a girl by the throat, his tone of voice being one of a bullying child, and he also had the lackey to fit the trope hm?

Of course a casual stroll would be made a staring to the right of the three individuals while a throat was cleared, she would look at him and note that he was taking a girl by the throat and it seemed he was waiting to either end her life or take her as a slave, but yet the only slaves to be had would be hers...

She needed servants indeed and of course the woman was very much annoyed by a situation unfolding. She would take a step toward the two and sigh...

"You are aware that attacking a citizen of the Undead King is punishable by death... And you are doing so right in the middle of a patrol lane?" She said, the first coherent thing she forced herself to say for an individual and yet it was still a slight bit cryptic, she was clearly looking annoyed and yes there were soldiers about ready for the beck and call of a soldier... It was something of a real threat... Should he take something of the sort.

However as she said something, flames engulfed the girl and it was clear it was reflexive... Poor child... there was little sympathy given by any there, but there was feigned worry. "Release this girl at once!!!"
(Jezebelle)
The ookami looked at the girl as she screeched for help. It was beautiful indeed as ff it was a melody in his ears. How such pain could be inflicted on a person. The fear in the heart of such a person made the ookami shiver as he hoped to make this girl show her faith for Kraus now. It felt like magic all over as he held her life in his hands. Yet, she began to flare up heat. How cute as this shiowed she had potential.

"Oh a fire magi, you seem to have some spirit. Though i won't kill you no little child. You will do me much good. So i will release you for now." He says preparing to let the girl go now. That was until he saw someone come up. This made him wonder who this was. It made him raise a brow looking at the teenager.

Did this human just tell him what to do? The ookami eye glared at the girl. As if she was a fly. Should he kill her? Maybe he should it would make a sacrfice to his god all the more better. Taking a deep breath. He put the little girl down. It wa snot because of her olders but he was taking her.

"Little girl i won't kill this human. No, she has no backbone for me to take. It would be a waste of power to kill her. She is young and fresh to make into a worshipper. Though who are you to give me orders? Also you btter lower that tone now! Because i'm not one to take orders from a stranger!"

He puts the little girl under his arm.

She could struggle but he was not going to kill her. He wanted hear a good reason. Though he did respect the king for his release. So he would hear the girl out.
(Reckorus Ookerius)
Kraus really showed signs of existing, especially with Jezebelle's entrance, her willingness to assist and not allow such things to take place near the border of Danarium. 'Undead King'- oh that's right. She's now in the hands of another evil being, there seems to be little mercy, but then other circumstances just makes things - less appealing. Her heart races, her fingers tremble and she could feel the lack of oxygen take it's toll, until his strength and fingers slacked in pressure. She takes in a deep breath, thank Kraus-
"…Why?"
Ack, her voice is strained, she's coughing and recovering slightly from the rough situation. All in all, she doesn't understand the Ookami's need to try and kidnap her- what was so interesting about a child that barely had any clue of his races existence? Why did it mean so much to him to actually convert her or enslave her? It was all maddening to listen to, but the little girl tries to hold back the watering of tears that threaten the corner of her eyes. Either way she was probably doomed, considering Danarium is in the hands of evil and this Ookami was going to put up a fight in order to take him with her.

Jezebelle seemed strong though or that's what she hoped- this woman was brave after-all. And maybe there's some hope in the way she helps, some hope in the way she conducts her duty. It felt like some semblance of humanity remained in her, though she's not aware of Jezebelle's intentions either- she doesn't know what the woman could be as well and all of it is still scary. It's a mystery she doesn't want to particularly solve currently- so she remains silent, softly sobbing - hands embracing her cheeks and eyes.

"Please s-stop."

This time it's voiced, though sloppy - with the noise of crying behind it and the hints of fear riddled her vocals through stuttering.

(Vira)
A sigh would escape the girl's lips, no sign of backing down, she would give this Ookami a passing glance before pointing at the girl he had picked up. and pointing to the ground in front of her.

 "I said to place the girl down, wolf, this is the territory of the Undead King and attacking his peasants will incur the wrath of the damned!" She noted back into her cryptic form of speech, but she was clearly set in her ways here and of course she would keep up with this... For any manner of time... This girl wasn't in a good position to her damaged or taken by some wolf!!

She then crossed her arms placing a hand down onto her side while she looked at him expectantly, would he continue to threaten her and attack. Or would he back off and give the girl peacefully and walk away? It was a moment one would have to think on for quite a while indeed for any effect... She was ready for any movement, and this man's choice was his choice.
(Jezebelle)
Sombrinha: eitaaaaaaaa
Sombrinha: :v
It was really annoying to let such a treat go. Though if it was a yokai who had caught this girl things would have been different. Still he would not hold the girl against her will any longer. Releasing the girl why glaring at Jezebelle. The ookami was free to do what he liked yet, stopped by here now rom obtaining a person was a big bother.

The ookami was very angry but he needed to just cool his mind. "I owe the lich king alot. So she is free to go from here. You saving a citizen who still worships a god against the lich king. Such a foolish decision indeed. This girl could be a changing factor and we won't even see it coming. Though i guess risk like this are to be made." He chuckles as he would wonder what is next.

The girl was clear to go as far as the ookami would see it. Fighting against the Lich King would only cause him future hell. Why do such a thing. The ookami signed as it was a huge bother."I apologize for the disrespect though. I guess my attiude has gotten the best of me yet again. Though you better stop prasing Kraus little girl. Many of us are not to fund of that god."

The ookami would sit down and stretch his arm awaiting whats next.
(Reckorus Ookerius)
A nod was given to the girl as she looked at the young girl who was let down... She would reach over to lift the girl up and examine her neck and other areas for wounds if allowed, her eyes settling on anything that would be out of place, she had little care for the religious workings of the realm, she got her prize, and a nod was given, she would slowly walk off along with the girl if she were to follow, but beside that, she would nod.

"No need to apologize, you couldn't have known... However, if you wish to prowl... Please do so in the wynchwood, I hear of people hanging around there... Or you could check the desert...' A nod would be made as she walked off, peacefully.

unless the girl had reservations against doing so at least, but even so, the woman, would doubt a no would be given. Beyond that, there'd be reason for her to get the kid to safety. back home...
(Jezebelle)
A sense of relief floods her momentarily, not like she's aware of her next course of circumstances, but for now? She's saved. All thanks to this woman and she's grateful. Still shook up though, so she clings to the woman, as if she's some type of haven and goes along with her willingly.

After-all, it seemed more safer than out here all alone. Before just going though- those eyes of hers leer at the Ookami, the one who tried to rough house her and kidnap her to make her---whatever he was planning to do. It wasn't good, not at all- but she coughs, feeling the fresh air and the solid foundation of safety which was Jezebelle's frame.

"...T-thank you." She whispers, feeling fatigued and awkward, so her voice is soft.

(Vira)
Leading the girl into the conquered city, the woman would very simply tap her chin with a free hand and think of what she was to do, the thanks given not phasing her in the least while she took the girl, she would slowly lower the girl onto a stool in the southern portion of Danarium as she looked the youngun over.

"Hm... The Damsel quite obviously was tied up with the big bad wolf hm?" She said with a slight smile, she liked what she saw, a young moldable individual, however, she didn't see much molding to be had, but she saw a potential, and some part of her wanted to snuff it out... The potential was not what she needed, she needed a girl, one to give her things, to serve her as she could... It was clear thats what would happen.

"Well, luckily for you, Jezebelle was there to help you huh?" She said speaking to the child as though she were just that for the time being unless she showed a higher intelligence, beyond that however, she did know some form of mannerisms that were polite. "From now on, however, I would suggest you work for me... It's a choice, but I will make sure you are out of trouble... Damsel..." It was clear the title given would stick, she wasnt wavering from using her own name for others.
(Jezebelle)
Of course, she doesn't know the intention behind the woman, not at all. She's blissfully ignorant- especially since she was saved by her, making her a little more gullible to Jezebelle than originally intended. Big bad wolf? Oh, she was referring to the Ookami guy- the one with a fluffy wolf's tail and ears, which made sense! Lightly does she nods, confirming her understanding, but it wasn't completely a reference to that and the child has no clue of that. However, she doesn't want to leave the woman's side, especially being brought into the 'enemies' city.

"Y-yeah."

She shows a bit of appreciation through her voice's confirming she's lucky - indeed she was definitely so and that meant she sort of owed this woman her life in a sense. But the implication catches her off-guard, it feels like the woman was expecting the show of gratitude in that fashion regardless of the bit of kindness she thought was being given. That's now how things were supposed to work, right? What happened to people just helping each other out of the goodness of their heart? Oh yeah, this wasn't the old Danarium anymore, it was their Danarium.

"...Um."

 It feels like her tongue is knotting up, but what else could she do? She's within this woman's clutches and to ensure her safety from whatever roamed Danarium's streets right now, she'd probably have to stick with her until the possibility of breaking free.

"...o-okay."

Agreement to her terms.

(Vira)
The woman looked down to the girl and nodded grimly, knowing exactly what she was thinking, and it was perhaps for the best, but she had this prize, and she wouldn't easily let it go, however as one would be forceful, she was relaxed and slow with this... Her very being was calm and serene, even though she was slowing a bit.

"Damsel, I do understand how one would feel in your circumstances... But I believe you'd have so much fun hanging around me! Wherever you came from, there were people that wronged me... And others who were of good intent, like the one eyed man, and the black knight... I can take you elsewhere, but it is safe here... Some can be like the big bad wolf, and others... They're different"

She said with a silken tone, velvet words brushing against the ears of one so young, and perhaps naive, and yet, she was also genuine in the slightest bit, she knew that perhaps there would be a better life had here, than in poverty and revenge seeking.

"I'm not with them... Not with the Dead King, or the gluttonous lion... No no, I am Jezebelle... Plainly so... And I only wish to help, but for help, I do ask a little help too, I do get so dreadfully upset sometimes... I never really like to get out of bed in the morning you see!"
(Jezebelle)
Did she really understand?

Honestly if she was someone of reason and proper thought- she would've taken the woman for a liar, but she isn't. A child is so simple and she's already practically secured her presence to the younger girl. So every word is etched into her heart, her memory and she finds herself following her tune.  Though maybe there is some truth, that this one would have more fun hanging around her - than her usual group of old men and small children. That didn't matter to her currently - fun was far from her mind and her currently thought?

Is what's going to happen?

 Why is this woman of evil helping her?

It's confusing.

But she has no actual choice but to go with it- the woman gives the illusion of freedom, but in all honesty- what kind of freedom is there? She's in the middle of Danarium when they have a different ruler and law- and it's swarming with those like the Ookami - looking to eat her. To have a bite of her innocence, so Jezebelle for better or worse- is her only hope.

Then....the woman speaks of not having allegiances. Wait, what? So she wasn't part of the Dead King's authority and wasn't part of whoever she was speaking of? Oh, that made the little girl's nerves calm and everything settle down further- that meant Jezebelle wasn't evil! Or that's what she's mistaken the words of the woman as.

"Oh...sorry. I thought you were with them and stuff!" A big smile, "Of course, I'll help you! You saved me.....so I only need to give you back what you deserve!"
And in exchange she'll get protection from the baddies, it seemed simple enough!

(Vira)
A nod was given as the girl's disposition weakened with the right few words, the seperation between herself and Danarium's current rulers was true enough however and with that being said, she was prepped for whatever was said, and a big smile was given too, it was heartwarming, ever so slightly, but the woman was beginning to lose that sentiment, the dour mood however was something of the past around this child, she would have to be more or less forgiving, keeping the child in line with the illusion of choice and a building of friendship.

"You are a smart girl, Damsel, to be able to keep from speaking to someone you think is evil! And your fire... Is it strong? does it light up and keep you safe at night when the monsters romp and play?" She asked slightly, eyes wide with curiousity, she was clearly hoping for some sense of answering to these questions, but it was not completely mandated. "You do know just like you and these trees, I too am from this place... But I was taken by bad people like the big bad wolf... So I am glad I saved you in time!"

She said with an almost convincing smile, blue eyes shining in a half sincere way, but she was clearly there for the fun of things, and much less for amusement, she was beginning to build something... A circle of which she could operate with... Help and get help... perhaps they could be the next big regime? only time could tell.
(Jezebelle)

There's no sign of danger. So of course, she is more inclined to follow along and delve into this world Jezebelle is creating for her. She's completely deceived. Though proper introduction was needed - "I'm Vira!" But who was she? This woman that is bringing her into a different light, someone so charming in her own way.  However, the questioning of her magic catches her off-guard, not many express interest in her budding capabilities.

"Well...yeah. It helps me against the dark and the monsters."

 It's what kept her safe since the hostile take-over, she's been hiding in a Yokai infested forest after-all. So the light and fire kept them at bay, long enough for her to leave the forest and come across ...what was a situation that shouldn't have happened with the puppy.  Then there's some sort of connection she feels during Jezebelle's confession, she was too - captured and brought into another life by someone? She could understand. Both of them were similar in that instance,

"...It was scary, was it scary for you? What happened...?"

Did she get free or was she trapped forever? Is she still trapped by the one that kidnapped her and tried to change her? These details were freshly asked in her mind and not entirely worded yet.

(Vira)
A smile was given as the woman shifted with a nod she was asked the nature of what happened and apparently she would give some storytime to the girl... Which was quite intriguing, she crosed one leg over the other and focused on the young one. clearing her throat softly before giving her answer.

"Yes, it was scary... It was quite the trip... I saw everything...And my life changed quite a bit, dear Damsel... They took me to the city with walls as big as the tallest trees of the wood, where the shambling dead walk and the sinister travel together..." She said with a clutch to her body and a faked shiver, she was quite physical with the stories, but she did continue.

"Demons and all, treated me badly, but I left... I walked one day... days and nights through desert, and wood, back home, but nothing was there... No house... And no purpose... I misplaced it you see... And Ive been looking for it ever since."

She stated softly with a look into the other's eyes. "And if I hadn't pulled you out of his clutches, the wolf man could have done something even worse to you..."
(Jezebelle)
"I want to travel! And teach people of Kraus! But thank you, yes he probably would've done worse....He was..evil."

But that dream might not be capable now. Since the Church is wiped out and the mentioning of Kraus would most likely cause her demises, so ops- her fingers go to grasp her lips and she stares at Jezebelle. That was bad- wasn't it? Her faith wasn't supposed to be reveal, especially against the background of gray,

"...I won't praise him in your presence or anything, so don't be mad and don't send me away."

 Then again this woman spoke of not having any alliance made with the rulers, so it might've not been much of a deal per-say, but she needed to remember - to keep her voice down and not to mention anything of the sort.

"Sorry."

Apologizes, hoping she didn't cause any attention to come their way, but it had always been her dream to travel and to get people to believe and understand her lord and savior. Though the world has changed and doing that would be incredibly more difficult.  She also had personal missions to take care of - and maybe Jezebelle could actually help with that.

"...I want to save my....people." The edge of desire been spoken, it's not fair for people to be forced into serving another god. That's what Galahad told her and now she was realizing that truth whole-heartedly.

(Vira)
A shrug was given the girl misunderstood her lack of care for religion in any case, but she did note how people turned at the screaming of the name, so she silently tutted, she was clearly not there to get attacked by a mob of azraelites. So she simply paced a finger to her mouth.

"Shh, shh poppet... this isn't the place nor the time to speak of religion, I care not whether you believe in the white or not, but do not needlessly endanger yourself by uttering his name in this place."

She whispered to the girl before she stood and nodded. "Ill take you to another place... Need to settle loose ends and gather a potential friend..." she stated with a smile. holding a hand out to the girl to shake and also take ahold of closely.

"Shall we?"
(Jezebelle)
Mm, she mumbles, but understands the intention of the woman's gentle caress against her lips, so she nods in confirmation.  She needn't make troublesome moves- especially when Jezebelle went out of her way to protect and guide her in this new found world.

How was Owain fairing? Since he was part of this world as well - was he okay? Did things work out for him? She doesn't know those answers, but she hopes so- regardless. Her fingers would grasp at the woman's and she'd follow- not challenging her any fashion.

"Alright..." Closely to Jezebelle she remains, not allowing distance in any shape or form, after-all. It's still frightening, everything's changed.

(Vira)
