Kyrian Hayes trust in Outsiders fade once more

After his recent battle. Kyrian was now sitting upon a tree stump. Pressing a wet cloth against his wounds. His clothes were tattered, his body was bared with marks indicating that he had a recent battle.

He didn't know of any other method of tending to himself other than washing himself off and hoping for the best. His younger brother was the one who usually took care of him and the youngest, healing wise.

Asena has gifted me with plenty. But so far I've been causing more destruction in these woods then protecting it. Causing harm to people without meaning to. . . Is Asena upset with me? Is Saekanis calling to me? Am I supposed to be worshipping Saekanis?

Kyrian was lost in thought as he dwelled on his recent brutalities. First beating up his brother badly. To brutally beating up a Yokai way past the point for someone to verify what it truly was.

At this point, he was so indulged in his thoughts that he wouldn't even notice someone walking infront of him

Back to the Past

With the rescheduled event for going to grab the Aquila, Valeria decided to leave camp and head out towards the Wychwood area, to see what had happened to the old camp - it was taken down, but she wished to see the sight and if anything had taken it over, it was a good area for a small fort. She left with three of her strongest Auxillia, the ride on horseback..

Few hours passed, and they arrived at the Wychwood area. Jumpping off their horses, they would tie them up to a nearby tree, these horses could easily take on a lesser yokai, due to the stinnox plated-armor that was covering the majority of these horses. Walking up the path that the legion had made before leaving the area, they would come into a clearing - there was someone there.

Narrowing her gaze, the female would stake a step forward, one hand on her gladius, the other on the pilum on her back. "..You there! Ookami, right?.. Step back and let us past, was wish to move forward, without your hindrance." her tone was militant, also very uncaring from the odd tone.

"Please move out of the way."
(Valeria Leo Artorius)
You there!

A brilliant voice woould shout out from behind him, breaking his thoughts and bringing him back to reality.

'What the-. . ." he thought stumbled forward off the tree stump. Quick to turn around and face a small legion of people. His eyes dialated as he looked closly to observe their gear. He saw that they all bore weapons and armor as if they were planning to battle. Or so he thought.

"You tell me to let you 'Outsiders' pass into my brothers and I's home?" he growled as he bore his fangs. But as he tried to show that he wasn't someone to mess with. His act could be seen through as he winced at his sudden movements. He grabbed at his acheing arm with his other as he continued to stare down the group. Which just so happened to be lead by a female, and what made matters even worse is that the group seemed to consist of all elders. Older people. Adults.

"You think by acting nice, I will let you destroy our home? You have my brothers! Isn't that enough?!" he shouted at the group in his broken accent. Both Krosious and Lucas had warned him that a group of people had come baring through their part of the woods and claim that if they didn't join them they would parish. So had it been that these people had came to take his life for not joining their cause? Why? Why were the 'Outsiders' like this.

"Leav-!" Kyrian would try to yell out before he winced again

Demands

Her ears seemed to peek when he spoke, his words pretty much cutting them like sharp metal being pushed against flesh. Narrowing her eyes on the boy, she would let out a sigh, she really didn't want to push him out of the way so she could go see the old ground which they had lived for years. She had no intentions on destroying the forest, actually if Valeria could, she would probably help protect it if the people were under Legion control.

"Child, I may be an outsider, but I wish to pass by your home, and go see my old home." she would point over to the empty area, just a few hundred feet away from where they stood. "We.." she started, looking back at her friends. "Use to live here.. We're with the Legion. Now, please move out of the way so I can go by."

She sounded nice, and her tone seemed to have changed from the rude one that she once used, to a rather nice - sympathetic tone. ".. We don't.. Have your brothers?.. The only people we 'took', where the bandits which were plaguing this part of the woods.. We mean you no harm, but we will defend ourselves if you do not let us by." nodding once, she would remove her pilum, sticking it into the ground in front of her.

"Now please, let us by so we can go see our old home before we all die in the war."
(Valeria Leo Artorius)
Kyrian's growl would continue to vibrate through the air before. Coming to a stop. Soon to stand straight and stare at the woman's weapon that was now stuck within the ground.

His gaze had become sharp as he stared hardly towards her and her group. He stared at them to find the slightest hint of a lie in the words that she had used. Which only half of them he understood. His grammar wasn't the best, since it only consisted of basic words but it was good enough for him to pass by. But by the tone that she had used with him at first had changed into something sweeter and softer. As if the great wolf spirit of Asena was speaking to him. Or what he imagined that it would sound like.

" Well. . . . Let me follow you to this so called "home" if you don't mind. I just want to make sure that you don't mean hurt." he would say as he clenched at his injured arm

(Kyrian Hayes)
Wychwood Encampment.

When the Ookami gave her the 'go', the female would simply smile, looking at him for a few moments before noticing he was clenching his arm. For a moment, she couldn't tell if he was faking it to gain some amount of sympathy from the female and the others that were with her, or if he was being serious about being hurt.

Either way, the female would walk by, her guards behind her, walking by the boy, he would follow close behind - this was alright, she didn't really care if he followed as long as he didn't cause any trouble with her or the Auxillia that followed. "..When we get there, I'll get my medico to help you with that arm." she kept walk, not looking back at him while talking.

Few minutes past, and she arrived at the old camp - which was now pretty much filled with overgrown grass, trees, shrubs and other types woodland stuff. ".. Its been years, but I didn't think that there would be this much stuff grown in.. How odd." she would say, before looking at her medico.

"Heal the boy up.." she commented. The Auxillia Medico would nod, walking over to the boy, removing a sling - attempting to put it on the boy. "Let him work. He'll have you back to normal in no time.." - with that the medico would work, attempting to analyze the wound and put on the sling.
(Valeria Leo Artorius)
As the woman allowed him to follow them to go to her old "home". Kyrian would walk alongside them closely. But far enough to give them their own personal room.

But as time went by. It was kind of awkward as Kyrian and the group moved out towards the camp. As Valeria had only said one thing to him. That she would get some type of equipment to help out with his injuries.

But as they continued on. Kyrian hated each moment he walked with them. Why would she help him when he had done nothing for them? Was her goal to get him to give them something in return? Or was she simply doing it out of kindness? He just couldn't tell and he didn't feel like asking. But matters would have to be brought up before long.

As they reached the camp, Kyrian would remember this place as a hunting ground. A place where his brothers and him hunt for boars and wildlife for food. But she spoke as if it was a place where she lived. But as he stared out at the grounds. It indicated that no 'outsider' life had lived in this area for years on end. Maybe it was long before his brothers and him were old enough to hunt.

But before long, he was demanded to be healed. In which he growled at her for giving him orders. But he needed the treatment, he just hoped that they wouldn't posion him in anyway shape or form. Or kill him. . . .

So he took off his shirt and did what he was told. If anything. He was sure that his brothers could avenge him, and of course he wouldn't go down without a fight. . . .

Soon when the people were done with what they did for him. He looked at the woman and said. " Your the Alpha right? Don't you 'Outsiders' have magic?"
(Kyrian Hayes)
Alpha and Omega

Seemingly, the boy was acting rather odd, more or less acting on defense more than anything, these were his woods now, not the legions - so he was just defending the territory! Valeria would not harm the boy unless he forced her hand to do so. He allowed for the treatment, putting some makeshift gauze on his arm, along with some bandages - and of course the sling, once it was done the medico would move back to his position.

Listening to the few words which he had spoken, she would tilt her head for a moment, before smiling wide. "Yes, I am the Alpha.. But they call me Centurion.. And - not all 'outsiders' have magic.. Actually, hardly anyone has magic.. But I, have magic.. More than one school of magic actually. Both help create and take life." giving him a nod, she would turn, looking around the area for a few more minutes.

"..So, what do you do here, anyway?.. What do you want, I mean? I've told you what I've come here for, why follow?. By the way, my names Valeria. What's yours?"
(Valeria Leo Artorius)
Kyrian would start to look down at the sling that they put his arm in. It enabled him to only move that arm in certain ways. But not all. Which freaked him out, the way how it didn't allow him to move it in ways that he demanded his arm to go. It was a bit scary at first, but he came to the conclusion that if it was going to severe his arm hurt it any more. He was fine with it.

The suddenly out of the blue. He heard the Alpha speak, and when he turned round' to face her. A smile seemed to have formed upon her lips which caught him by surprise. The first impression she had given him was that she was a serious person and was always like that all the time. But as she smiled it showed that she could have fun aswell. Which gave him a weird sense of what kind of person she was. Maybe the 'Outsiders' weren't as different as he had thought.

"Cen-tree-on?" he would say with trouble, still not getting it right as he had trouble with such a grand word.

Then she would go on with saying that not everyone living on the Outside world had magic. If anything, only a few bunch did. Which surprised him as a couple of people with magic had taken his brothers from him. Which made him more curious for what they wanted with Lucas and Krosious. Soon did she tell him that she, herself knew quite alot of magic. For both helping and destroying life. Or thats what he got of out of it.

Valeria would then go quiet for a few seconds before questioning him. In which he responded with " I don't know myself. " he managed to say. It pained him to bring himself on such friendly terms with these people. But they helped him. So he could atleast try to be nice in return.

"Because I was curious. . . Name is Kyrian" he said to reply to her.

He would then look up to her as something boggled in his mind. "Do you know of. . . of.. . . uh. . . Energy magic?" he would ask curiously
(Kyrian Hayes)
Cent-tree-on

Seemingly, the boy had a hard time speaking her title, this kind of annoyed the Centurion, but she wouldn't hold it against him, due to him being some kind of feral creature which lived in the woods, she wouldn't care all that much, it was alright - this time. "..Cent-uri-on. - in her mind Cent-tree-on didn't sound anything like Centurion, but who cares really?

"Anyway..Hm..Alright, well, that's fine, I guess. And you're curious? What if we all suddenly decided to turn on you, and gut you like a fish?.. We wouldn't actually do that, but what if we were bandits?.. You would be dead, shouldn't trust people so easily." she would pause for a moment, still looking around the area.

"WELL... Nice to meet you, Kyrian.. Weird name - no offence.. And no, I do not know Energy magic.. I know wind, earth and.. Illusion." she smirked, turning towards him.. "..Anyway, I must go.. Thank you for your time. I'll be on my way.. Don't die out here, kid.."
