Femesh Daer - Day 4

The two guards Shara slashed at staggered back, one bleeding from the neck and the other from the hip. Both of them began clutching their wounds, putting pressure on them. The other guards began moving, returning to a formation where there was one to Shara's left, one to her right and one in the centre, in front of her. "Surrender and you won't be killed. Surely spending a few years in jail is preferable to dying right here and now." one of them announced.

[hr]

[color=446ccf]"I'll bear that in mind."[/color] Rebecca said. As she and Yeager spoke, a guard came running over, and would tell Yeager about Shara and the fight with the guards.
"We might need your help at some point. And, even if we don't, you should be aware she's in the city."

Veketta - Day 6

"What kinds of weapons is he making?" one of the clan leaders asked. "And how many?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Combinations of some sort. One of them was a bow that could double as a blade, for instance."

 

[Furioso]

Yeager grinned as he heard the news. "Oh vell that's some news I didn't expect! If you can, try to capture her alive. Would you like me to join you right now? Me and my men are always ready." said Yeager as his Red Eyes approached.

 

[Silence]

"Alright." Anik said, relieved. "Let's just hope we don't need as long then, if we need to go back."

She waited for Timea to finish her meal, and for them traveling again.

Femesh Daer - Day 4
You stand and consider for a moment, before replying; [color=0066cc]That's... Honestly debatable. But fine, I'll surrender. I probably wouldn't survive the journey even if I got out of here."[/color] - Then, with a sigh, you throw down your sword and the flames around your hook vanish. You then stagger back and hit the wall, sliding down as the pain and blood loss overwhelms you. You pull out the knife at your belt and throw it aside as well. For a moment you consider trying to get your prosthetic off as well, but you decide that it can wait.

Femesh Daer - Day 4

The four guards that weren't seriously injured picked Shara and the guard whose neck had been cut up, and started carrying them off towards the church of Faotar. When they got there, they would begin treating Shara's wounds, using a combination of basic medicine to stop the bleeding and keep her alive, and later Avinah's miracles to aid in Shara's recovery. If Shara survived the procedures, she would find herself in what was obviously a cell, though it was clean, quite warm and if it weren't for the door that locked on the outside wouldn't look too different from the rooms in the inns Shara had stayed in on this world.

[hr]

"We don't need assistance right now, but we might soon." the guard replied.
[color=446ccf]"What's all this about? Is this Shara a friend of yours?"[/color] Rebecca asked.

Veketta - Day 6

Most of the Vesh'Rah gathered looked either startled, worried or intrigued by this news. However, the brown wolf slammed his fist into the table and yelled out, "You're just going to let him speak? For all we know, he's lying to scare us out of attacking his country!" His comments were obviously directed at the other clan leaders, rather than Robin.
"The rest of what he said is true, from what we've heard." one of the feline Vesh'Rah stated.
The brown wolf retorted by saying, "Yes, everything that shows Calibethan weakness. And now, suddenly, they have access to advanced, complex weaponry." A few of the others murmured in assent, muttering that it was a little convenient and the timing was suspicious.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"What motive would I have to lie to you?" Robin pointed out. "I'm not from Calibeth either."

 

[Godzillarich(aka tf2godz)]

"In fact none of us are." The Doctor added.

Timea continued her meal in silence for a time, but eventually looked up to Anik again. "So, how are you feeling, Anik? I noticed you have been crying, not too long ago", she asked, smelling the scent of relatively fresh blood on Anik's face, even if it had been washed. She also saw traces of it, though with minimal UV light present, only faintly.

 

[Silence]

Veketta Area - Day 6 - 07:36

"You have noticed?" Anik said, surprised, and felt her face. "Do I still have some ... on my face?

Anyways, I don't really know. I'm very confused about my own feelings. Is it just the change, or did I lose something? Can I even redeem myself, from all the bad things I have done? And ... I kind of feel helpless against my own body right now. I don't know what does what. It scares me."

She shook her head. "Nevermind. I need to somehow get my confidence back. Stop being this afraid."

Veketta Area - Day 6 - 07:36​

"No, no. I would have said something about it earlier, otherwise", Timea responded to Anik's first question, then listened to her explanation.

"To tackle what makes you afraid, you first have to understand what that is, I think. Let's go back in time; When did you start feeling the way you do, now?"

 

[Kirke]

Femesh Daer - Day 4
Though you survived, you feel like absolute shit even with the healing. With much of your body aching, you decide that you haven't got much else to do but lay down and meditate for a while until you can fall asleep. You slow your breathing and close your eyes, slowly falling into a trance.

When you open your eyes again, you're no longer in the cell but in your beloved Sworder. For some reason however, it feels more like a coffin than a home, a feeling not helped when you see 'Silence' sitting in the pilot's seat.

"... I don't know. I guess the first change was when I tried to get Cybil moving again, after things in the tree went badly. And I realized that people can be innocent, even if their hearts are not pure. ... But that did not make me afraid. I started getting afraid when my sense was going crazy, I could feel everything much more ... I don't know why it got weaker, again. Otherwise I would not have been able to walk around in Vekutta, right?

But maybe that's not all. I also felt helpless when we met some of these robot-things, and I could not sense them. They ... were so weird, nothing I have ever met before." Anik said, slowly thinking, the thoughts making her feel miserable.

"I guess my whole world view is broken, and I don't know what is what anymore." she added, as she felt tears dwell up again, which she was able to repress, for the moment.

 

[Furioso]

Yeager laughed. "Vell we've never spoken so I can't say if she's a friend or not, but she did try to kill me."

"That's right. You seem to have gotten a better grasp on it, shortly after your first hunt", Timea commented. She wasn't surprised on hearing Anik couldn't sense the robots, considering them mockeries of life, herself. "Between this revelation you had with Cybil, and you becoming fearful, what happened? I want to to think back to that, and say out loud all the events that stand out the most."

 

[Silence]

Veketta Area - Day 6 - 07:38

"Well, some noticed that the sun had vanished - which obviously did nothing for me, aside from confusing me. Then we traveled back to Calibeth by boat, a few days. I was bored, then. And thinking about changing my ways, obviously. Arriving at the village we went through before, it was damaged - which left me feeling confused, as well." Anik told her story, not knowing what Timea was going for.
"When we walked through the desert, I finally noticed the change of this world because of the missing sun as well. And then ... we arrived in Calibeth City."

At this point, Anik had to take a break, thinking with dread of the silence in the formerly bustling city.

"I think this is when I first started feeling really afraid. I kept calm then, but my thoughts were not. I sensed you, Hillary and Sibylla, and the others told me you were carrying a human corpse. I lost my mind, then, I ran after you - tried to, at least." she shuddered, as she thought about the situation. "I am not able to run if I don't know the land. And in Calibeth City, everything was full of rubble. It's a wonder I did not hurt myself more than I did.

Then we met this ... Ultron. Robot-thing. I kept out of it, I was afraid of it. It was completely unpredictable. And then a person of our own group even antagonised it more. A self-righteous ***** ... sorry, I should not say this. It was like she did what I did - pathetic things. But she tried to sell these things as "good"."

Now, Anik could not hold tears back. Mindful enough, she removed the blindfold and tossed it aside, before it got bloody, and held her hands before her face.

"We left her in the desert. And then we found you, freezing to death, and tried to save you. And all the hearts in Palladein were so intense ..."

Thinking she had spoken enough, for now, she swiped her cheeks, which led to her looking like a horror show, again, but she shuddered, then stopped crying.

[color=446ccf]"So, not a great start to your relationship?"[/color]

"Like I said, to stop us attacking the Empire. If that's not why you're here, why are you telling us this?" the wolf asked.

As Anik spoke, Timea resumed eating her meal, but kept a close watch on Anik, once more scanning her face and body language for any changes, this time with a more benevolent idea in mind. When Anik began retalling her arival in Clibeth City, and subsequent events, Timea noticed the change in her demeanour, getting a good picture of how she felt. Recalling Anik running towards her, Timea wondered if it was known what she was planning on doing with it, unsure about it by the lack of a reaction EMily had to it.

After swallowing a bite, Timea was quiet for a time. "I see", she eventually said. "Take some time to compose yourself, breathe in, count to two, then breathe out. Repeat this five times", she instructed, then took another small bite as Anik did so. After, she continued speaking. "Now, I want to to think back to walking into the capitol; After that, and before sensing me, and running after me - What went through your mind? I want you to put this to words."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"True, I think you should not go to war. But I say it not because I'm from Calibeth, but because it would be pointless."

Sam looked over his shoulder at Shara, and gave her a sincere round of applause. [color=edc393]"Not a bad display,I must say."[/color]

 

[Silence]

Veketta Area - Day 6 - 07:33

Anik breathed in and out, five times, like Timea instructed her to do. She then thought back, again. "I was ... confused. I did not know we were in the ruins, as I had expected a lot of hearts. And then, suddenly, it dawned me. I was thinking: This is what it looks like, when ... if ..."

Another tear went down her cheek, and she tried to breath in and out again, but confused the rhythm, and gasped, before finding her breath again.

"I am sorry. I don't think I can do this right now."
