  1. Perfect! It had all turned to be perfect, or at least as much as it could be! Lorelei was the least worrying of all the 'pillars', and without the other two, it was just a matter of time until things started to fall upon their own weight.
  2.  
  3. Threats were falling one by one, or two by two, and new opportunities were quick to arise.
  4.  
  5. Mira's case being a truly exceptional one.
  6.  
  7. Giving her a bit of an advantage, so that she would not feel followed, the Kaor moved behind the girl, hidden and slowly, only beggining to speak, directly into her mind, once she had found a spot to cry, or whatever.
  8.  
  9. 'Lorelei said it.' The Kaor's tone was not limited by its serpentine tones when speaking through telepathy... And the sheer smoothness of its voice would make it rather hard to react badlyat it.
  10.  
  11. 'Nahele and Lasswell were eaten by the Imperfect. He killed them, for his own benefit.'
  12.  
  13. No influence was brought upon the girl... Any feeling such words provoked would be her own... She would, though, feel just a tad more inclined towards anger and rage, due to the sheer presence of the Kaor, and maybe a bit of manipulation.
  14.  
  15. 'And if Mira does not act, they will do the same to her...'
  16.  
  17. 'Xiahcoatl warned Mira, did it not?'
  18. (Xiahcoatl)
  19.  
  20. [16:50:17] Mira was distressed, to hear that her own mother was dead... To hear that Lasswell was dead! It made the child upset, it made her more upset, she was angry... She couldn't do anything about it and now they were gone, it was out of her hands, out of her control... If only she was stronger! If only she had more control, then Nahele might have not bitten the bullet, Lasswell might have still been alive?!
  21.  
  22. "AAAAAaaahhh!", but now, now the child was within the Wychwood and from there, she could scream and wail to her own heart's content. Indeed, the first thing which erupted from the ginger haired Ookami's gob was a loud shriek of agony, following noisy cries of despair, yes, the child was absolutely devastated about this news.
  23.  
  24. Yet as she slumped down besides a tree? When she began to cry into her legs, knees brought up to her face, arms strapped around her legs?
  25.  
  26. Well. It was that bloody Kaor that came up and made matters worse -- deciding to spin the records to their advantage and undoubtly it was going to work, given the situation, the circumstances? It was just... Just too perfect wasn't it? It was an opportunity so ripe that you could bite into it and just taste the freshness ten times over.
  27.  
  28. "Huh? Wuhm... Uh?", the girl sniffed out, moving her head out from her coiled up position near the tree, eyes glancing over to Xiahcoatl.
  29.  
  30. "Duzumid... Killed them?", the girl questioned, only to think back to what Lorelei had said, which was right, Nahele and Lasswell were supposedly devoured by the Imperfect -- so much for loyalty and honour, right? Duzumid was the worst in Mira's mind, a complete criminal, something that should be crushed over and over and over.
  31.  
  32. "Do the same to me?! I'm... I'm not even given recogition for being the Queen's daughter no longer... Lorelei is suddenly the Queen, it's... It's too convenient.", and suddenly? The crying stopped, eerily so -- but that was followed by intense trembling, as Mira pretty much rumbled on the spot, silently in rage!
  33. (Mira)
  34.  
  35. [16:58:49] 'Dumuzid devours it all, he doesn't care about mortal lives, unlike Xiahcoatl...'
  36.  
  37. Slowly, soothing sensations would be sent directly into Mira's mind, helping her relax and calm down... But such sensations came along images of Loranthis being destroyed, and Dumuzid's own demise.
  38.  
  39. Manipulation was clearly one of the Kaor's strengths.
  40.  
  41. 'But Mira has Xiahcoatl, and it would never harm Mira. She knows that Xiahcoatl cares about mortals, that it wants them to be free, to be safe...'
  42.  
  43. The snake would coil around Mira, not pressing her, but instead leaving a small area around her, creating a protective, warm wall of sorts. No yokai would dare to approach, no man, either.
  44.  
  45. "Mira. Join Xiahcoatl, work towards creating a new age, one with proper rulers, with great freedom, and no false gods...'
  46.  
  47. Finally, the invitation is handed.
  48.  
  49. 'Xiahcoatl will provide everything for her. Can bring her somewhere safe, help her work towards destroying Dumuzid and Lorelei.'
  50.  
  51. 'Their crimes cannot go unanswered, right~?'
  52. (Xiahcoatl)
  53.  
  54. [17:06:30] It was clear Duzumid had broke the trust that he had with the rest of Loranthis, but given how so easily scared the sheep were in that place? They'd fall in line no matter what crimes the Imperfect had committed -- there was this gut feeling within Mira that Nahele and Lasswell didn't go willingly to the maw of that Imperfect and that, Duzumid had... Betrayed them.
  55.  
  56. For this, Mira now had a goal, to ensure Duzumid's demise in the future, as for Lorelei? She could be dealt with, but she was secondary, Duzumid was the main objective.
  57.  
  58. Given the those odd soothing waves washing over her mind however, Mira grumbled and groaned, sniffling for the time being as she mulled things over.
  59.  
  60. "Mother was supposed to come back.", the girl started off, growling for a brief moment before falling back to mere talk, "Duzumid was supposed to be their lord, not their betrayer.", to which she became increasingly more agitated and frustrated with the situation.
  61.  
  62. "Mother was supposed to watch me become a hunter... Lasswell was supposed to be my goal to overcome... I..."
  63.  
  64. "I hate them."
  65.  
  66. "I want to see them burn, like Loranthis. I don't care. And yes, their crimes cannot go unanswered, even if it isn't me landing the final hit on them, I want to ensure they are going to fall within the future."
  67.  
  68. With that said, Mira pretty much gave off the impression that she'd join Xiahcoatl, that much could be taken from the words spoken -- Mira wanted Duzumid and Lorelei to be destroyed regardless of who did it, no ifs, no buts.
  69.  
  70. And Xiahcoatl was quite plainly offering a solution to Mira's problem -- Duzumid and Lorelei.
  71. (Mira)
  72.  
  73. [17:12:28] 'Of course. But the Imperfect decided to use them as shields, as toys... They were warriors, they wouldn't have simply given themselves to him.' More and more hatred is fueled into the girl, while her view is still hidden by the Kaor's body.
  74.  
  75. While she speaks, several yokai would be forced to approach by Xiahcoatl's inlfuence, standing close to each other in a group just at the other side of the wall that its body served as.
  76.  
  77. 'Some time ago, Mira said she wasn't sure about what she desired the most...'
  78.  
  79. The long body of the basilisk moves, letting the girl see the group of mega and lesser yokai before her... A tribute, clearly.
  80.  
  81. 'Has she finally decided? Xiahcoatl said it would help her, of course~.'
  82. (Xiahcoatl)
  83.  
  84. [17:23:34] That was right, Nahele and Lasswell were hunters moreso warriors, they wouldn't simply offer their lives to any man nor creature -- they had pride, power, they had earned their place on the food chain... But this... Duzumid? This slimey, degenerate piece of SHIT? The current Imperfect?
  85.  
  86. Yes, yes, yes, that was right. He had used Nahele and Lasswell as shields, as toys just as Xiahcoatl had said -- it was probably true too, he had used them to cover his own prideful hide, that ugly rear. Of course it was but an assumption. Something which Mira cooked up in her mind after Xiahcoatl's words.
  87.  
  88. "Why would he do that, that's stupid, my mom did alot for the Imperfect, same goes for Lasswell and thisss isss how he repaysss them?!?!", the child suddenly hissed out, foaming at the mouth a tad -- infact that horrific smell of Occultism suddenly sprung up around Mira's form, a purple-lilac like flame which danced and ebbed from left to right! It was transparent almost.
  89.  
  90. "Yes. I will, join. I need to make mother... Proud."
  91.  
  92. And with that said, as soon as those Mega and Lesser Yokai were revealed before her? A loud scream erupted from the child, a blast of sound as it were, it'd roll forward, with malicious properties only to brush up against the Yokai! From there, their ears would ring, eardrums would pop and blood would most definitely leak outbound causing them all to spread out in panic!
  93.  
  94. "I HATE THEM.", the child cried out, taking her frustrations involving Duzumid and Lorelei out on the Yokai presented before her, her hands curling up, fingers digging into the palms of her hand, nails scratching against the tanned flesh.
  95.  
  96. From there, the winds picked up, surrounding the Yokai and came crashing down! They were like daggers, as they noisly gushed into the group and cut them to ribbons sending gore and bits of Lesser and Mega Yokai throughout the area -- they were quite literally placed in a blender, a very disorganised and uncontrolled blender of wind tainted by the faint traces of Occultism.
  97.  
  98. Magic empowered by anger and hatred, of which those two were fueled ultimately by the news granted today, made worse by Xiahcoatl's subtle... 'Tactics'.
  99. (Mira)
  100.  
  101. [17:33:48] 'Hatred is a very strong feeling, Mira, yes. You desire to destroy, to take revenge... But don't let that cloud your mind.' After most of the yokai in the area had been blended into smoothies, the Kaor spoke again, its soothing tone and subtle manipulations slowly seeking to calm down the girl. After all the energy she had used up, she would most likely be rather vulnerable, helpfully.
  102.  
  103. 'Remember what Xiahcoatl showed Mira? The armies of the east and the south coming to attack Loranthis? Why not meet them? Surely, they would accept Mira, she has a better reason than most to want to crush Loranthis~.'
  104.  
  105. The more the Kaor speaks, the more satisfied it is with itself. It had told Mira that the loss of the pillars of Loranthis would bring many changes upon Valmasia... But most importantly, it allowed its own plans to be set in motion.
  106.  
  107. And for the unaware... That was truly something fearful.
  108.  
  109. 'Loranthis will be purged, those who feel betrayed will leave, and the fearful or the foolish will stay. Being the first may be advantageous for Mira~.'
  110. (Xiahcoatl)
  111.  
  112. [17:42:20] Indeed, hatred was something that was quickly blossoming within the young Elehan child, something which was to be expected given the news, the whole punch being.
  113.  
  114. Hey kiddo, your mom and uncle but not uncle just got eaten by the Imperfect!
  115.  
  116. That was going to be a pill that was hard to swallow, that was going to be something which gives someone the mother of all headaches, the sort of headache in which a person wasn't going to see straight -- nah, they'd be all pissed off to kingdom come, far too pissed off, frustration that'd lead to pain.
  117.  
  118. And Mira was certainly frustrated and in a whole lot of pain, emotional pain that is.
  119.  
  120. "I... Can use them... To see Duzumid and Lorelei burn.", but Xiahcoatl was correct, the armies of the east wanted Loranthis, more importantly they wanted Duzumid dead... This was just a lucky... Lucky coincidence was it not?
  121.  
  122. "Loranthis will burn, it should burn, it's a horrible reminder of that... Asshole. Duzumid."
  123.  
  124. Mira certainly had her mind set on this goal of hers, the goal that was going to be persued with fervent hatred and anger towards those whom wronged the child.
  125. (Mira)
  126.  
  127. [17:57:42] 'Of course. Mira wants what Xiahcoatl does, right? An Age of Man, with freedom, peace between kingdoms, but constant hunts and tests of strength. Bound by fair laws, and without any fake deity trying to sit above everything.' Needless to say, there was always the risk of the Kaor itself becoming a bit too powerful for the safety of the people...
  128.  
  129. But they could cross that bridge when they got to it.
  130.  
  131. 'Xiahcoatl can take Mira to New Alteros, there is a certain someone there who is intelligent, she understands the importance of Xiahcoatl's aid... And she'll definitely take another ally to take down the Imperfect.'
  132.  
  133. The efforts it had worked on, the connections it had made... Every piece now seeme to have its use, even if so many had been prematurely lost with Nahele and Lasswell out of the game.
  134.  
  135. 'Is that what she wants?'
  136. (Xiahcoatl)
  137.  
  138. [18:04:32] Mira had no other options to be fair, it was either await her self-assured destruction whilst remaining in Loranthis by either the East counting her as an enemy or Loranthis betraying her -- none of which were favourable, none of which were going to be... Suitable for this Ookami, no, she intended to make an impact against Loranthis, against the Imperfect and all who stood for him.
  139.  
  140. If they would so easily forget who was the Queen, who was their ruler, then Mira was going to remind them in the future -- whilst the girl did not desire to be a ruler, she thought it as an insult from the rest of Loranthis for them to so easily disregard her mother's absence, and most importantly her passing.
  141.  
  142. "Yes...", the child ushered out in a hushed tone, eyes glancing down to her hands, covered in blood and filth -- blood belonging to some of the Yokai she chopped up with her vicious wind magic, dirt kicked up from the aggressive action made.
  143.  
  144. "I don't know what New Alteros is like, but if they want Duzumid gone, then I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I think that's what one of my tutors said once, I guess it'll be true, right?"
  145.  
  146. With that said, Mira expressed her desires, to rally against Duzumid, to take HIM out of the game.
  147.  
  148. Checkmate if you will.
  149.  
  150. In the future, hopefully.
  151. (Mira)
  152.  
  153. [18:08:48] "Good." The yokai speaks with its physical voice, still soothing and calm, but lacking the more graceful tones of before.
  154.  
  155. "Xiahcoatl will take Mira there, will fly, but it isss unlikely that ssshe will return any time sssoon."
  156.  
  157. And slowly, the snake's tail gestures towards Loranthis.
  158.  
  159. "Xiahcoatl will make the proper... Preparationsss. Mira ssshould too. Take everything you wisssh to take, and sssay farewell to the people ssshe thinksss dessserve it."
  160.  
  161. "We will leave very sssoon."
  162. (Xiahcoatl)
  163.  
  164. [18:11:21] Mira nodded at Xiahcoatl, it was decided, the plans had been cooked up. There was no turning back now, all she needed to do was keep this quiet towards anyone whom might be the sort to snitch... After all if Mira and Xiahcoatl were caught with this conspiracy?
  165.  
  166. It'd be quite... Awkward.
  167.  
  168. "Okay, very well, I will say my goodbyes to my friends and bring my... Belongings which ain't much.", the child stated, before making a move towards Loranthis.
  169.  
  170. Feeling ever-so... Tense.
  171.  
  172. Yes, there was a heavy tension within the air around Mira. Frustration aglore.
  173. (Mira)
