While Sylira is by far the most civilized region of Mizahar, countless surprises and encounters await the traveler in its rural wilderness. Called the Wildlands, Syliran's wilderness is comprised of gradual rolling hills in the south that become deep wilderness in the north. Ruins abound throughout the wildlands, and only the well-marked roads are safe.

Wildlands, 21st of Bell, 85th of Summer 513 A.V

In the Wilderness between Syliras and Sunberth, a trio of girls could be seen resting under a large tree. Now a wilderness survival would say that resting under such a large plant in the night would not be a good idea since as much as it was hard to believe, plants "breathe" as well, one could be wrestling for air with the tree, a hopeless match. However, these three girls were not of the living, two of them were ethereals while one of them was a body-jumping undead.

Kouri, the older of the ghostly sisters, were sitting cutely on Kriem's lap, their Nuit maid, while Rena was playing with "Lily", the animated doll Kouri acquired from Sir Coud, a puppet animator. The doll were smiling, being played around by the little ghostly sister. Kouri giggled at how adorable her sister looked before turning her attention back to her maid, who was combing Kouri's very long white hair with her soulmisted hands "Kriem~"

"Yes, Mistress?" The Nuit answered with her ever stoic tone, her face not showing any visible emotion.

"I still can't seem to go inside people... not easily at least and I go tired everytime I do it." Kouri looked down to the ground and pouted, it was true, her possession powers were really falling behind her other powers. She was like but a child in that particular ability of hers.

"Perhaps you're lacking in practice, Mistress. You can control your soulmist and materialize yourself just find right?" The Nuit maid finished combing Kouri's hair and fixed her ribbons. It was all Kouri's body though as every part of a ghost was made of the same substance, soulmist. Kouri sighed in contentment as she absorbed Kriem's soulmist, it was not really delicious, but it would have to do.

"Yes... maybe, Kriem. I don't often go inside people, don't need to in most cases. I can just kill evil people just fine with my tendrils and touch! Ehehe~" Unlike some ghosts, Kouri wasn't fond of pranks such as controlling other people like puppets, she preferred to just kill bandits and slavers outright. Furthermore, she didn't get much people to practice on anyway, not many were fond of an alien presence entering their body, but she got Kriem now "So, Kriem, can we practice again?"

"Of course, Mistress." The Nuit watched as Kouri got up from her lap, turned around, closed her eyes, materialized herself, and hugged her tightly. Kriem also closed her eyes and hugged her Mistress back. Due to Kouri's lack of skill in possession, they both must cooperate to make sure the Possession would succeed. Good thing she was a spiritist, that helped their case by quite a lot.

"Lily~ look! Big sis is going to possess Kriem again~" Rena was sitting on their cart, which held their belongings, including the large dollhouse that Lily lived in. The animated doll's eyes turned to look upon Kouri and Kriem, she nodded politely "I see, Young Mistress Rena." The little sister and living doll then watched the "puppet" show Kouri was about to perform.

"Kriem..." Kouri exhaled, her "breath" manifesting as frosty white mist, like she was in a perpetual state of cold. The ghost girl relaxed herself further and her body started to disappear, literally going "inside" the Nuit maid. Kriemhild herself let her natural mental defense dropped completely, at her Mistress' current skill, even the slightest resistance from her could kick Kouri out. The process was slow and difficult, but it was strangely eerie and beautiful to observe, it was like a mother and daughter finally reuniting even in death.

"....." Rena watched in silence, along with Lily. After a few chimes of - almost - utter silence. Big Sis finally disappeared, only Kriem was left sitting on the ground, eyes closed and body limp. It was the moment of truth, the one that would decide whether the possession succeeded or not.

.........

Kouri woke up to find herself in a... strange dark room filled with only a bedroll and a bucket. She was facing a stone wall, Kouri turned around only to find she was actually inside some kind of prison, with bars of iron and an obviously locked iron door blocking her from freedom. W-what? Where... am I? She didn't know, but her first instinct was to get out of here. Kouri made her way to the iron bar, but much to her surprise, she couldn't phase through it. "Ah! W-why?! No!" Kouri grabbed the bars and futilely tried to shake it, that's when she found that her hands were not... hers.

W-what? She examined her own body, indeed, she was in an young woman's body, not a child. Her skin-tone was different even her voice was different. She hurried to the bucket filled with water and looked at her own reflection, only to find that she was in fact not herself, she was... Kriemhild.

.........

"*Gasp*?!" She woke up again with a jolt. This time, she was back in the Wildlands, with Rena watching her from the cart, concern on her face. "Uh..." Kouri rubbed her hair, she examined her hands, it was Kriem's hands. The possession had succeeded, the hard part was over. Now comes the harder part, maintaining control of the possession. Kouri fumbled with her movements, trying to make Kriem's body stand up. After almost falling down to the ground, she finally controlled her corporeal legs and walked to Rena. "Rena... ehehe~ I succeeded..." Oddly, her tone was not happy like usual. Succeeding in possession had always been a great deal for the ghostly little girl.

"Okay, Sis. What's the matter?" After spending so much time with Kouri, Rena knew her sister's personality and quirks, something what definitely up.

K-kriem... what did I just see? I was in a.. prison and in your body... Kouri asked in her mind, directing it to Kriem.

Mistress, that was my memory you saw. The Nuit answered matter-of-factly. This brought a shock to her Mistress.

What?!

Kriem's memory? She lived in a dungeon? Kouri could't believe it at first, Kriem's body following her commands as she put up her left hand to her forehead, rubbing it. She needed to calm down. Rena was getting more and more worried, the little animated doll she was holding also was showing concern, in her own kind of way. Getting over her initial shock post-possession, Kouri remembered that Kriem told her she was a human once, a human slave in Sunberth to be more exact. Kriem, was that memory from your time as a human?

Yes, Mistress. I was locked in a dungeon when I'm not needed by my Master. The Nuit answered in her mind due to her body being occupied by Kouri right now. She didn't divulge more information... unless Kouri asked for it.

"May I assist you, Mistress Kouri?" Lily, the doll, waved her hands up and down, her programming dictated her to do so.

"No, tha-... thank you, Lily. It's alright" Even speaking required concentration and effort. She really needed to work on her possession more. Satisfied with her answer, the doll jumped down from Rena's hands and went back to its home, the elaborate dollhouse aboard the group's cart.

"Sis... what happened?" Now it was Rena's turn to ask, her tiny form floated to Kriemhild's body. Violet eyes seeking answer.

"Rena, I... I saw Kriem's memories. I-it was awful... s-she was trapped in some kind of cage..." That brought a surprised look to the younger ghost's face. Rena nodded in silence, even without her asking, her older sister would explain it more.

Kriem, what happened? I... I mean, h-how did you live your l-life? Being trapped like that? Kouri was hesitant, she could hear ghastly things as answers. But she had experienced murder, slaughter, and an attempted rape, she could manage. She prepared herself as she waited from Kriem's answer, her hold on the possession as fragile as ever.

Well, Mistress. Kriem's mindspeak seemed to be pausing for a moment, forming words to tell her life's history. I was born a slave, I don't know my parents. Master probably wrenched me as soon I was born. Ever since I was little, he kept me in his dungeon most of the time, sending someone to deliver food to my cage.

Kouri commanded Kriem's body to sit down on the ground, Rena followed suit. "K-kriem... Rena was a born slave, she didn't know her paretns a-and... she was caged all the time." The older ghost tried to recite Kriem's story for Rena to hear. Safe to say, the expression on both Rena and Kriem's body were that of fright and disgust. Some humans were just beyond saving.

And then, when I was old enough. He used me as his... Kriem paused, a rare moment of emotion for the stoic Nuit. She never thought of ever having to explain her gloomy history again pleasure slave... She couldn't find better words for it Everyday was a torture, Mistress. I... didn't know I managed to stay sane. It was one of the crucial moments that shaped Kriem to be the - almost - emotionless undead. The other one after being turned and realizing she was granted immortality against her wishes.

"*Gasp!*" Kouri put Kriem's hands to her mouth, the emotional turmoil did not bode well for her weak hold on Kriem's body. Rena was hugging Kriem's body tightly now, Kriem must had told something terrible to her older sister. She waited as Kouri tried to calm herself down, inhaling and exhaling unneeded breath through Kriem's body.

"Big Sis..." Rena's adorable purple eyes looked up the possessed Nuit, she was curious yet afraid at the same time "W-what did Kriem tell you?". Kouri commanded Kriem's body to hug her little sister tighter, her motherly instincts kicked, the older sister didn't want to exactly tell that Kriem was a pleasure slave. "K-kriem's master was a very, very evil person, Rena. That surprised me..." There, that should be good, Kouri hoped Rena wouldn't pester more.

"Oh... okay, I feel really sorry for her." That's a relieve, Kouri exhaled through the Nuit's body and fumbled to a sitting position, gazing at the night sky. The wilderness should be very dangerous if these three were normal beings, but Kouri was a powerful phantom, able to strike fear in most common men.

The large bounty she had on her head in Syliras was already an indication, indication that her powers posed a clear threat. A little girl having a bounty, Kouri wondered if some god out there would be amused. That, combined with not being burdened by pesky physical needs, made them able to tackle the wilderness. A pack of wolves attacking? A group of bandits robbing? Good, her daggers would taste more of their blood. She only needed to fear mages and spiritists, especially the latter.

As Kouri commanded Kriem's body to lovingly ruffle Rena's hair, she kept mental-talking with Kriem. W-what happens next, Kriem? She braced herself for the horrible answers that would sure to come.

Well, Mistress, Master got tired of me and sold me to one of the Wizards of Sahova... from one master to another. My new Nuit master didn't violate me as my previous master did, but in another way. He treated me as an experimental subject, forcing me to learn various kind of magics... The Nuit maid continued on. The shaking of her own body told her that Kouri was not taking this well, she decided to cut it short. Long story short, Mistress, he turned me to one of his kind, an undead. And then once he got no more use for me, sold me to one of the Ravokian slavers.

"A-ah... uuh..." Kouri trembled even further. Kriem got a far more terrible life than her, her death at the claws of a tiger was nothing compared to it. Her hold on the possession flickering due to the emotional turmoil, she could feel light began filling her vision and then...

"Ah.. K-kriem..." Kouri found herself floating slightly over the Nuit, kicked out of the maid's body. She felt tired, the possession took its toll on her. "I'm... sorry..." The little girl materialized herself and hugged the maid, before turning her attention to her little sister. "Rena, come here... I'll tell you what Kriem told me..."

And so, the three dead girls huddled closer, the night turned somber, but a flicker of hope still persistently shone, Kouri promised herself to work even harder, be more powerful, and end all evil within the world so innocents like Rena and Kriemhild didn't suffer.
