Monster Hunting (Aka)

Evalin was quite content with how the situation had turned. Heated voices, Senka upset, Aka defending her nuit 'lover'. Evalin could smile at the way the pieces fell so perfectly together, yet she did not. She simply leaned on her staff, eyes flicking between those that spoke, taking it all in, savoring the moment. Tasting the flicker of hatred from the constrictor as she realized she had lost this battle... At this Evalin could not help it, she smiled but quickly hid it with her fingers which she drummed against her lips. Then they larger group began to leave, and Evalin waved her fingers at their backs as they went.

Ah how amusing it is. A few words, a twist of logic and even a force such as this may be turned away. Doubt you me now my Dear Tsenrika? But she did not wait for an answer, for she turned to Aka, bowing her head as they were left alone, "Thank you Mistress. Your power and authority are truly something to behold." She extended her hand to lead the girl, turning toward the creature, "Perhaps Mistress... But first, let us see what we have captured."

She chuckled, almost giddy in anticipation. This excitement was so new to her. She felt like a child given a new toy to play with. This 'monster' was exactly what she needed, and nothing could ruin the moment... Or so she thought.

The nuit stopped in her tracks as she felt the ripple through her mark, and her eyes narrowed. Before their eyes the beasts body rippled, its scales wiggling and its body contorting. Its heads began to shring back, its tail dividing. its entire body twisted and stretched, folded and compressed in a terrible whirl of sounds and sights that was like watching its every bone break and shatter before reforming once more. It took several ticks, but then suddenly in the place of the serpent there lay crouched... another creature just as ugly. Five heads set on large sloping shoulders, one looked forward, two look back and the last two looked to either the left or the right. Its body was lopsided and deformed, random patches of scales and skin a sickly gray-green in color. its hands twisted and mangled, brown sloping and when it opened its mouth its tong was thick and forged. The head in the middle had it's eyes open, looking up at Eva and Aka. It was still trapped by Evalin's commands, and could not move or speak for the moment.

Evalin released Aka's hand, walking around the creature as she spoke softly, "Curious... A monster in beastly skin..." Evalin walked all the way around the creature, stopping in front of it. She extended one hand, his eyes catching on her motion and bringing his full attention to the nuit, "If you have a name speak it."

The man wriggled and moved on the ground, struggling it seemed to speak with his weirdly deformed, but finally he managed a simple, yet garbled, "Dresskal..."

"Ah!" Evalin clapped her hands together, looking at Aka with amusement, "It has some intelligence, just as we thought. How curious, how amusing it is. Not just a monster, but a being who may thing and act of his own accord... well when I would allow him. He shall be most useful indeed."

Picking up on the Nuit's Dresskal chuckled a bit stupidly, obviously not understanding what was being said. The middle head's eyes closed, and the head on the far end closed to Aka opened its eyes to look at the girl. curiously Evalin walked around and examined this head now, that looked curiously at Evalin as well, "In this form only one head at a time can act of its own accord... Curious, how curious."

Evalin was quickly becoming engrossed in this new toy she had found, taking obvious joy in her examining process and losing her sense of presence as her mind sunk deeper into the mystery at hand. If she were allowed Evalin could easily spend bells studying this 'Dresskal'.

Wretched Aura: As a Wretched One Evalin possesses an unnatural aura about her that causes unease in those who get too close. It can come as a prickle of the hair on the back of the neck, a sense of 'wrongness' about her. How people experience it is different depending on their personality and how they handle the unnatural and unknown. Animals tend to become more agitated, more easily sensing how wrong Evalin is and often avoiding contact with her.

OOCAlright! This should be my last post for the thread then. Thank you for threading with me, Eva! It's a pleasure, as always. ;)

"..." Usually, Aka would take praise at face-value, truly expecting people to shower her with glory for her much deserved efforts, heedless if they were sardonic in nature, she would make a "In your face!" gesture if someone sarcastically praised her or a arrogant huff if someone truly complimented her. From Evalin though, the Viper couldn't do anything but being silent and blushing tilting her head down as she fidgeted with her fingers, a far cry from the brave act she put to Senka. With a rather meek nod, unfitting of a mistress, she followed Evalin to examine the creature. Being praised by the one she loved - and respected to a degree - pierced right through her wall of denials and arrogance, revealing the tender Viper girl within.

Aka was too caught up in her own thoughts to notice Evalin's sudden stop, it was when she walked past the Nuit did the Viper followed suit, turning her head at the sorceress and struggling to form words that wouldn't sound embarrassing despite her bashful state, "Uh... w-what are you doing?" It came out terrible, but the one who answered was not Eva, it was the creature, it contorted and squirmed, the sounds of muscles, fat, scales, and bones rearranging echoed in the area. It sounded rather similar to a Dhani's transformation, but more grotesque in nature, that already signaled something was indeed wrong with the creature. At last, the multi-headed serpentine monster changed its shape into a... multi-headed humanoid whose shape so grotesque, Aka would prefer a Myrian instead and that was not a thought the proud Viper reimancer could make easily.

The Viper extended her right hand to grab at Evalin's shoulder, for her to stop toying around and just kill the beast, but she hesitated and opted against it, this creature, no matter how deformed, would be useful in their fight against the bronze monkeys. She let her lover examined the monster like a prized possession, much like how Aka would dote over her pretty slaves. The thing was, this creature was not pretty, nope, not at all. Aka half mused that Evalin was rather crazy, conversing with a monster, even asking for its name. However, her slitted eyes widened when the thing answered with one of its head, "Dress... kal?" Its name sounded Dhani and masculine, was this creature? It couldn't be, this thing was a Dhani? No, the Viper refused to believe it. Granted, he had a petched-up version of a Dhani's transformation ability and forms. Aka also approached Dress, he would tower over her if he stood up.

The Viper also examined Dress, but with more caution and animosity compared to Evalin's eagerness and delight, the Viper really didn't appreciate it looking at her with one of its head, Aka recoiled back as she hissed, then clenching her hands into fists, trying very hard not to zap this thing with lightnings right then and there, after ten ticks of mind-battle, Aka simply cursed as she turned around, stomping towards Zinrah, "We are going home... tell your friend to ssstay sssomewhere, he isss dead if he comesss to the tunnelsss..." Even if the Constrictors didn't kill it for some insane reason, Aka would burn it to crisps herself. It was only for Evalin she tolerated this creature and for the things it had done, silently, Aka agreed with Senka about her being insane, perhaps, being romantically involved with a centuries old Nuit sorceress did drive her insane.

Important Note: Aka is currently pregnant (with eggs, being a Dhani) at the moment and as such, her belly is slightly bulging and she moves noticeably slower than usual.

It seemed that her fun was at an end, and with a smile Evalin looked back at Aka, "As you wish Mistress. Give me but a tick or two more, and I shall follow closely behind."

She allowed the girl to then move on ahead as she bent over the creature once more. The eyes of its middle head opened once more, and Evalin gently cupped one cheek as she whispered softly, "You are mine now... Do you understand?" Dresskal nodded slowly, his brow furrowing as he had to concentrate to grasp the words spoken to him, "Good... Now you shall do as I say." Straightening her back Evalin pointed to the north, "Follow that direction you will find a cave a days travel away. Go there and await my call. Remain hidden, and do not leave the cave until I have come for you, or you are sent for by me or one who bears the same mark as you." She paused, patting the creatures head before turning away, "You are not to harm any creature unless it is self defense until I order you otherwise. Now, begone. Do not become captured by Dhani or Myrian. So orders your Master."

With that Evalin began after Aka, pulling her hood up as her smile widened. the pieces were falling into place. It was just a matter of time now. Just a matter of time...

Notes :
This was a wonderful thread you two! It was a really action-packed and intense read! I loved the way you two interacted with each other and how you both perceived the monster in different ways.

Aka, after looking at your skills, I noticed how experienced you were in reimancy. I just want to let you know that if you plan on receiving more experience points in the future you should describe the process she's going through in more depth. Try explaining her feelings the moment she's attempting new techniques or try describing how she goes about preforming the task of reimancy with more details. I would have awarded you a little more, if I had seen more of this. Just a little advice!

As for you Evalin, I really liked the way you described seeing the battle going on. The mixed feelings she had transmuting into that sinister feeling that makes her who she is really excited me. I would, however, like to mention your skills as well. It looks like Evalin's pretty advanced with Familiary. I'm not saying you didn't do a good job, because you certainly did. I just want to tell you that if you want more experience points in the future, you should describe the act of practicing Familary with more depth. Just a little advice!

Overall you both did a pretty good job! I look forward to seeing more threads from the both of you in the near future!
