Seducing a mighty Akalak(Ishkaral)

33rd Day Of Fall 511 AV - Noon

It was another confusing day in the city of Alvadas, It was around noon, the sun shining brightly above the city illuminating its many streets. As usual the streets were filled with looks of frustration and confusion as the residents attempted to get to their destinations, only to find that Alvadas itself had other plans.
.
Serena was taking her daily stroll through the lovely city, she hadn't seen anything of interest today and was quickly getting bored. She wore her hair loose as usual, gorgeous golden locks falling down to her waist, her green eyes practically glowing in the sun's light as if there were two beautiful deep emerald stones that lived on where her eyes should be. She wore her emerald dress, short, halfway up her thighs, the upper half revealing her sun kissed golden brown skin and her well-endowed chest, along with her heirloom necklace. She stood out instantly in the city streets, as if she wear emitting a distracting glow compared to the rest of its dull citizens.
.
Serena had been walking for about ten minutes now, and for some reason the streets would keep directing her to her cottage. She took a different turn this time trying to avoid her house. As she stepped around the corner she was greeted with the sight of Tower's Idol Slanderer. The idol had been little more than a nuisance to Serena during her years in Alvadas, she had enough self-confidence to ensure that its insults hit her as just feeble annoying prods. She looked at its ruby eyes and was greeted with yet another annoying comment. "Hey baby, nice set of flotation devices you got there." the statue exclaimed in it's mocking voice. Serena just brushed the comment off and was about to walk off when she saw someone. Nearby approaching both her and Tower's Idol Slanderer was a rather large Akalak,

Annoyed by the fact that he had to interrupt his training to go buy a pair of vambraces when he realized that his proficiency in gauntlets is still very much subpar to what he desired. If he had to face an armed opponent, his Teethed Gauntlets wouldn't be enough in terms of defense, if he missed catching his opponent's weapon, he'd get his skin and muscle sliced off if not his entire arm. The impulsive nature of both Ishkaral and Eshacro caused the Akalak to drop his current trainingsession and go shopping for those steel vambraces.

" Curses, we've been walking around for an hour now, when are we going to find that freaking blacksmith... "

' Man, screw this, it'll take us at least another hour to find our own place again. Let's just buy the vambraces when we happen to run into the damn Kitrean Krafts Crapshack. '

" Tssss, you're right actually, no point in searching for it in this evershifting labyrinth, let's head back in the direction of home and hope we find our place soon so we can continue our practice! "

' Damn right, obey your master! '

" Go to hell! "

The inner conversation that went on in the Akalak's head was as natural to Ishkaral as the air he breathed, Eshacro wasn't exactly the silent brooding type and he never held himself back to spare someone else's emotions. He found it silly to cut himself short for the sake of someone else, unless that someone has proven to Eshacro that he would cut himself short for the sake of Ishkaral/Eshacro. If that was the case than Eshacro treated that person with respect, otherwise that person was just another nuisance with the potential to become Eshacro's punching bag.

Turning around a corner he found himself walking towards one of his greatest enemies, Tower's Idol Slanderer. On more than one occasion he has spewed cryptic messages at Ishkaral, most of which weren't decyphered but the ones that were, were never received with ignoring silence or stoic behaviour. The Akalak just wasn't like that, he either started to insult and threaten the statue in return, amusing the bystanders, until he ends it with spitting on the statue. Like a song on repeat, the same always happened over and over again.

With an already annoyed look on his face, the Akalak started to walk towards the statue and noticed a woman going the opposite direction, she was an eyecatcher for sure but with the statue's presence and Ishkaral's annoyance, he only thought about making it through this street without ridiculing himself or breaking his fist on the statue.

Serena examined the Akalak as he approached, he stood out like a sore thumb. His body looked as if it were sculpted out of green marble. He was about a foot taller than her and his body was covered in a layer of beautiful muscles. A fine specimen indeed. He seemed to be very annoyed at the moment as he walked grumpily toward her.
.
As the Akalak approached Tower's Idol Slanderer was waiting, rearing for its chance to insult him, and sure enough as he passed by the idol yelled out it's insult.
"Don't fool yourself! Everyone knows your dark secret. FREAK!"
The idol shouted in its mocking voice, it clearly derived great pleasure from torturing innocent passersby.
.
Serena heard the idols remark and her interest was peaked. Her plan for today was to dig up the akalaks deep dark secret. She flashed the handsome akalak a smile, within that smile was a small djed injection with a simple subconscious message.
'Beautiful'
This was all part of Serena's brilliant combination of combining her abilities and looks into a deadly manipulative cocktail. As they got closer and closer to each other they're eyes met for a split second, and Serena used the connection to send yet another subliminal message into the subconscious of the akalak.
Say hello

" Concrete mongrel, I bet you're just pissed that I can go wherever I want and you're stuck in that spot forever. A pathetic, oversized pebble... that's what you are. "

And again, as usual, Ishkaral and Eshacro had given in to their confrontational nature. Ishkaral had responded to the Idol's insult with a premade insult of his own, not really understanding what the Idol meant by his statement...but for some reason Ishkaral could never confront him about it and ask to clarify it. Instead he felt a pain rise through his chest while the temples of his head started to increase in pressure and caused him minor headaches.

The Akalak started to continue the search for his own home when he shifted his eyes in time to notice the beautiful woman fire a smile at him, the logical flashing thought through his mind that she was beautiful blended in flawlessly with his own psyche. Not paying much heed to the thought and unable to realize it was an invading presence that forced that thought in his mind, he merely smiled back as he continued to walk.

Their eyes met once more and this time he figured he should at least greet the blonde girl. It struck him as odd though, why he would want to stop and greet this woman at the most unsuitable and insultive location of Alvadas. Either way, he stopped in his tracks and started some small talk with the blonde.

" Hey there, I'm Ishkaral, don't believe I've seen you here before. Passing through or ... ? " As he spoke he suddenly realized Eshacro was being uncharacteristicly quiet.

" Esh, what's up? " He asked his soulmate through a mindwave. There was no response though.

Serena watched intently to see if her suggestion had been effective and sure enough the towering akalak greeted her. SHe smiled brightly to be polite aswell as for succeeding. looking slightly up at the akalaks face she pulled a strand of golden hair behind her ear. "Hey Ishkaral it's nice to meet you, I'm Serena. Oh I was just bored of being home alone so I decided to go for a walk. how about you?" Her voice was both sweet and confident, making it clear that she wasn't uncomfortable talking to this stranger.

She smiled again looking at him, her plan quickly developing in her head. Yes, she would talk to him for a while, flirt abit, which would be easy since he was rather attractive. Serena pulled another strand of her golden hair behind her ear as she watched the akalak curiously.

As Ishkaral continued the small talk with Serena, Eshacro still hadn't spoken a single word since the two people met. Ishkaral was starting to worry and kept asking for a responde from Eshacro, all this was done in his mind ofcourse.

" Oi, Esh, what's the matter? Did you become shy because of this girl? " Ishkaral asked Eshacro, trying to cause him to open up with some humor. He suddenly realized Serena had asked him a question and stumbling over his words, he answered: " Euhm, I'm....I was on my way to a shop, wanted to buy some vambraces for practice. "

" Seriously, Esh, what's going on? " Ishkaral attempted one last time to make Eshacro break his seemingly imposed vow of silence.

Ishkaral had become oblivious to the Idol's presence, until he spewed out yet another insult.

" Well well, look at this pair, one that opens minds and one that closes them. Tsk tsk, this isn't going to end well. "

Ishkaral had no clue what the Idol was talking about and didn't care enough about it to ask for the meaning of it, instead he brushed his hand through his hair and tried to figure out why Eshacro was being so quiet.

" Well, it was nice talking to you Serena, see you around. " Ishkaral said with a smile, feeling a bit 'off' and with Eshacro's mysterious silence, Ishkaral wanted to get home to meditate and get his mind straight. He still remained oblivious to the fact that he was in the process of being hypnotized, but he felt odd...perhaps because the constant voice in his head was being unorthodoxly quiet right now, either way, something was up with Eshacro.

SerenaFeel free to further hypnotize Ishkaral in staying, but I figured since you didn't use any hypnotizing magic in your last post and with his weird "state of soul/mind", he wouldn't hang around to chitchat.

Serena was surprised when he suddenly decided to leave, was he not attracted to her? Or was it something else? The akalak did seem slightly distracted. Her smile dropped as he began to walk away, but he wouldn't get far, not if Serena had anything to 'say' about it.
.
She walked up to the akalak and wrapped her arm around his, "Ishkaral wait up, wouldn't you rather take a walk with me? Please!" she said innocently. Although she was certain this would work she decided to lace it with a subconscious suggestion.
"Yes"
Having basically answered the question for him she continued to walk with the large man, still holding onto his arm. To strangers the two may have looked like a gentleman escorting a pretty lady somewhere, or more likely...an odd couple.
.
It bothered her that he had decided to leave her so suddenly, there must've been something wrong. Did her breath smell bad? Was her hair messed up? Had she done her make-up badly? No, Serena was meticulous in her daily grooming so none of these faults were viable. This meant that the decision to leave was made entirely on his own, with no fault to her.

The Akalak and the mezmerizing beauty only managed to walk a few steps together before something happened. Without warning, without telltale signs, Eshacro had completely and utterly taken over. Ishkaral found himself in a subdued position, without a clue what was going on...It had been a long time since Eshacro took over like this... Ishkaral knew something was wrong, very wrong. He tried to take the frontseat-position over again, but Eshacro's spirit and determination to do whatever he intended to do, overpowered Ishkaral's confused state of mind and halfassed attempts to take over by force.

Halting dead in their tracks, both of them stood still in place. Eshacro staring in front of him , flexing his embraced arm and pressing it strongly against his side. Serena had no choice but to follow his lead and stand still since the much stronger Akalak held her arm, which was embracing his arm, in place. It couldn't be clear to Serena what exactly was going on since she probably didn't know enough of the Akalak race to know their rather wellkept secret about their double souls/personalities. But the attitude, the look in his eyes and the sudden change of personality would all probably indicate that something went terribly wrong in her plans and that something was about to happen.

With a very slight turn of the head and an icecold glance at Serena and the confused look on her face, Eshacro smiled like a vicious predator pleased with his captured prey, grinning his teeth bare and narrowing his eyes. Eshacro was clearly up to something and he was in a dangerous state for the people around him, Ishkaral took notice of this and started to talk sense into Eshacro.

" Esh, what the hell are you doing? Calm down! Don't do anything stupid, we'll get arrested and executed...Think, man, THINK! "

Eshacro replied to Ishkaral, not in his mind this time, but with a poisonous tone of voice, mocking aswell as menacing.

" Little girl, don't play with fire. "

" Pry into my mind, or in the mind of my foolish little "brother", one more time...And you won't live to regret it. Do you understand? "

Eshacro then continued in his mind, speaking to Ishkaral.

" Dumb, stupid, gullible and weak son of a whore...You let this girl use some sort of magic to talk directly to your mind and control you. If it wasn't for me you'd be her pet by now!! It's only because us 2 share 1 body that I was able to 'feel' someone intrude your mind. "

Ishkaral was dumbfounded, he had no idea something like that had happened...not to mention Ishkaral didn't even know there existed magic like that. After recovering from the shock of being manipulated like a puppet, he too felt infuriated and felt his emotions rising, giving Eshacro more and more power and foothold in the primary position in his body. But surprisingly Eshacro didn't take advantage of it, instead he was the one trying to calm Ishkaral down.

" Calm down Ish, it's not worth it. I wasn't certain what or who was intruding our psyche at first, that's why I was keeping quiet...to better pay attention to the magic breaching into our body. It's a powerful magic, there's no shame in falling victim to it when you don't even know it existed. So calm down! "

Thanks to his "brother's" soothing words and reasoning lecture, Ishkaral calmed down aswell. Eshacro gave Serena one more warning before giving the reigns back to Ishkaral.

" Be careful with your magic, we have been kind now...Others might not be so reasonable. "

After saying that, Ishkaral was back in the position of controlling the body. Letting go of Serena's arm before turning to her, he asked:

" Why? "

by **Serena Siren** on October 19th, 2011, 4:35 pm

Everthing had happened so quickly, Serena could barely keep up. One moment her and the Akalak were walking together and the next it they had stopped, her arm was subdued and it was as if she was standing next to a completely different person.
.
The way he looked at her an icecold stare with a creepy smile, this was definately not the same person as before. Serena was afterall a hypnotist, and the mind was her area of expertise and adding up all the occurrences made it clear that this was the only option.
.
The akalak threatened her and for a second her look of confusion changed to fear and then quickly Serena shifted it back to a serene calm expression.
.
After a few moments he had released her and it seemed that his other personality was back in place, he began to walk away but stopped again to turn and ask her a single question, 'why?'.
.
Serena looked at him with a look of regret on her face, feeling bad about what she had done, or atleast thats how it seemed. "I did it, I did it because your just so beautiful. All those well toned muscles, that beautiful skin. I've been alone for so long and sometimes I get terrified, what if I get attacked? I can't fight!" she said sadly, which was about sixty percent truth. "I'm sorry, its just when I saw you I thought we could become friends, but you didn't seem interested, I'm sorry. " she said with the most sincere of tones in her voice. She didn't know whether to leave or not, so she just stood there.

While the flattery had no impact on Ishkaral except making him think about what a silly reason that is to use dangerous magic on someone, the seemingly sincere apologies did have an impact on the somewhat gullible and naive Ishkaral.

" Tsss, she's full of it! " Eshacro commented from inside the Akalak's mind. Ishkaral didn't reply to him though, instead he just said to Serena:

" Next time do it without manipulation or magic, you seemed like a nice person...without having to use your magic. If you ever need help or just want to talk, to a friend...Let me know. "

He said kindly and without using empty words, he felt bad for the woman who had to resort to the use of mindtricks in order to make friends, at least that's what he taught was the case, he had no idea what actually went on in the girl's head but he didn't care too much about it either, he wasn't the type to hold grudges.

" Take care, Serena, see you around! " And with said and a friendly smiling nod given, he walked away while raising a hand as a sign of goodbye.
