Mulier Tentationis's Story

A visible grin appeared on Bahamut's lips before the dragon's body folded in on itself like a cyclone and it disappeared. Bahamut had not used an offensive spell, but a teleportation spell to escape.

The old and ancient sigil began to glow in the cavern, near Pruwas's metropolis, bats and other creatures running into hiding before the injured dragon came into existence. The sigil's gems and metals rotated madly, still processing all the mana that had been used to transport the massive dragon. Clutching the wing, he narrowed his eyes at the mouth of the cave. "Where is that little vampire...?"

Soon enough, a human shaped figure arrived at the mouth of the cave, large bat-like wings folding and going into hiding as the figure approached. Female, long hair, a sort of wise yet sultry swagger in her step. Mulier looked up to the bleeding dragon, a grin creasing her lips. "It's been a long time, Lord Bahamut." The vampire kneeled down, bowing her head. Bahamut snorted a ring of smoke and narrowed his eyes. "Enough of the formalities Mulier. Help me with my wing. Those overpowered harlots got me by surprise.."

The female shrugged, lofting up to the wing as it was extended, a clear hole visible. Broken and singed scales were lying on the stone below, showing that the healing process had already begun. "My, my, they did quite a number on you." She spoke teasingly.

"I don't need a commentary damnit!" The dragon snarled, looking back to Mulier, scales bristling. She grinned sheepishly and shrugged, leaning down and starting her work.

Kuro know where Bahamut is as the ancient dragon has some part of Kuro's energy. Swirling smoke suddenly appeared near Bahamut and Mullier. From the smoke, appeared Kuro and Guy, landing on the cave floor.

Kuro was a little surprised to find a beautiful female with Bahamut. He eyed her for a moment before taking flight with his three pair of wings and hovered in the open space of the cave.

"I give you an ally, Bahamut. Be nice to him"

With that, he disappeared after turning into black smoke.

Guy was about to thank the god. But he was consumed by a black swirling smoke. Guy appeaered in front of a giant black dragon. Thank the gods he's on my side. Guy told himself. He then rememberedf what Kuro had told him and he swallowed the pearl. It was kind of strenuious seeing as the pearl was large. But Guy managed to force it down. He looked around and was shocked to see a beutiful girl.

"I give you an ally, Bahamut. Be nice to him"

Guy heard Kuro say. Guy looked at the Dragon. "So you are Bahamunt. It is my pleasure." Guy said. He bowed at his waist, as he did so he went down on one knee to show he ment no threat to the hulking mass of dagger like teeth, and razor claws.

Mulier smiled and shifted, winking a bit as she finished up with a bit of beneficial work before finishing with her work as the bandages were seen at the base of the wing. She lofted down with the help of her wings, heeled shoes touching the ground as soon as the dark god disappeared. "Heheheh, another one. The beginning of a true army, wouldn't you say Lord Bahamut?"

Bahamut narrowed his eyes, craning his neck down to where his head and snout were directly in front of Guy. The dragon huffed, a thick yet small plume of smoke pouring from his nostrils and over the male. After observing him for a moment, the dragon leaned his head back and turned to Mulier. "I give him two battles. Humans have proven to only be expendable to me so far."

"I assure you lord, I can and will last." Guy said. He reached behind him and gropped a fold in the cloth of his armour for the gem. When he had found it he presented it to the dragon. "I beleive this is proof enough I am cappible in battle." Guy said. Then he put the gem away. "You have also never had a human that has the tongue of a snake before. Or I belive so." Guy said. he bowed again. "I mean no disrespect, just trying to proove myself." Guy said. He smirked. His as he had called it "Snake tongue" coming into play. He was a merchant, he had good, let's say speech skills.

Bahamut snorted more smoke as he narrowed his eyes, focusing on the male. His ivory eyes practically promised death, and they almost had a piercing effect when narrowed and such a way. The dragon waved a claw, unimpressed. "A swift tongue I already have in Mulier and a new lieutenant I have gained, and that stone is worthless to me. I do not hoard riches as my bretheren do." The dragon nodded to Mulier, the temptress vampire stepping forward.

The sound of blades being released from a sheath sang out in the air as blade slid forward from the fingers on Mulier's right arm armor, for all except the thumb. As she took a fighting stance, Bahamut spoke. "You must prove your worth through combat...Fight Mulier. If you can make her yield, then I will keep you as a recruit. Be defeated, and you might remain. The only reason I haven't killed you now is because Kuro brought you to me."

Guy sighed. "as you wish." he said, he was honestly terrified, but he wasn't one to let his emotions get the best of him. He drew his axe. He didn't attack though, he took a deep breath, he once again stored his rage this time deeper than the last time, it seemed that his mind was going into the gem. He felt the conciousness of the monkey creature, seeing it's pain and suffering as it watched it's parents brutally killed by others of it's kind. Guy drew rage from that, once again his form changed, his skin turning pure white, his tattoos red, his armor seemed to shift somewhat as this happened but he paid it no attention. Guy felt his vision sharpen, he felt an adrenaline rush. he looked at the demon woman. "Do your worst m'lady." he said in a once again evil and ancient tone which wasn't his own.

Mulier grinned and slid the blades back and forth along each other, licking her lips sensually before she stepped back , arm brought back in preparation before she cleared her throat. The vampire's pupils went to thin slits as she parted her lips and opened her mouth, an ear-wrenching and extremely powerful sort of screech escaping her throat. It was something akin to a banshee's cry. As she hoped to disorient him and maybe cause some bleeding, she inched forward, ready to put on the pressure.

Bahamut watched lazily. The effects of the blood loss were kicking in. Light-headed, drowzy, lethargy. The dragon yawned lightly, shaking his head a few times to keep awake.

Guy was sort of wierded out by this tactic, but it did make sense. Guy shrugged off the screech and he charged her, he drew back his axe, he put it backwards so he wouldn't kill with the blade, but instead us blunt force to break bones and cause brusing. He swung at her twice, aiming at her right hip th first time attempting to make it near immpossible for her to move with out pain, and secondly at her ribs attampting to brake a few.

While swinging his ax, Guy's head started to feel the effect of Mulier's screech. He started seeing double vision and his hands trembled a little.

Mulier watched the attack coming, bringing down her armored limb with a spin to block the attack. She would rely on the sheer power of strength bestowed upon her, thanks to good genetics. The vampire gave a sort of narrowed look as she tilted her head a bit. Hopefully, her armor and strength would hold up against this berserker rage. She decided to not get serious. Yet. Things would have to get bad before she made a release of power. She was prepared to try and wear him down and completely disorient him before she made any truly damaging blows.

Guy's attack combined with his berserker rage was strong. Lucky for Mulier the attack wasn't made to kill her. Mulier raised her hand to defend and was staggered and pushed two steps back when the flat side of Guy's ax made contact with her armor. Mulier attempted to disoriented Guy.

Guy watched as his attack hit and he had staggered her. Guy made a sweep for her legs with his shield. attempting to make her fall and maybe brake a bone or two. guy then aimed another blunt swing at the baclk of her head attempting to knock her out.

Mulier's attempt to disorient Guy succeeded. Guy became dizzy and lightheaded, making it hard for him to swing his ax properly, but he managed. The ax swung for Mulier's legs then head.

Mulier held a smirk. The previous blows had done some damage, but he continuously left himself open. Guy would pay once she got going. She could felt some denting in her armored arm, something she'd have to fix later. With the new oncoming attack, she would lean down and smirk in order to avoid the strike. If successful, she would get her top half almost completely on the ground while sweeping her right leg up to kick Guy's head. If it had a full, direct hit, it would bloody his mouth, knock out a few teeth, and/or break his lower jaw.

((I am using the D&D style rules and die for this: the attack hit, but only did 4 damage))

Guy felt his rage wearing off and when the attack came he was too out of it to block it. it hit him, but on a slight angle, he bit his lip and felt it split. Guy spat out some blood. He rushed her and he yelled a battle cry attempting to scare her, he then used his shield as both a weapon and for of defense ad he slunged it at her chest attempting to brake a few ribs.

((my idea was 1 posts an attack, 2 a reaction, then the results, then 2 an attack, then 1 a reaction, and so on?))

Bahamut loosed a rather audible growl, clutching his wing's base where it was injured. His healing process was a painful one, and he had very short patience by now. "Enough!! The fact that you have survived at Mulier's hands is proof enough. Then again, I know how she enjoys to toy with her foes..." The vampire stepped back, giving a sheepish grin. Bahamut spoke up once more. "As I said before, the only reason I am not killing you is because you were brought to me by Kuro..." The dragon waved a claw at the duo, shouting and roaring in his draconic tongue as another bolt of pain swept over him.

Mulier, knowing when to retreat, carefully moved out of the cave, waving for Guy to follow. Once the two were gone, Bahamut gritted his teeth and unwrapped the bandages. The hole was still there; a bit smaller now, but still there. And still bleeding. Bahamut groaned as he conjured up flames in his mouth and forcefully cauterized his own wound. From there, it would have to grow and recover naturally. It would take a few days, maybe near a week. But, he'd be back in the skies in no time. Until then, he'd have his lieutenants take care of things. Turning to the sigil, he tapped it and it activated from the touch of his Mana. Bahamut waited, since he planned to communicate with an old ally on the next move.

...Somewhere in Fishan...

In a deep, dank cavern in the thickest, foggiest, and most noxious swamp in Fishan's land based regions, an old and massive sigil, one as old as some parts of Daughtris itself began to illuminate and swirl. The hum awoke something, lifting its head and looking to the sigil. After focusing its pale, white eyes, it turned and barked at something else in the dark in some old, ancient tongue. Eight other heads slowly began to rise, each one getting thicker and more intimidating the closer they got to the center cranium. After shaking off the centuries of undisturbed rest, Anguis, the mighty Hydra beast of Fishan turned to the Sigil. If it was being contacted, then that only meant one thing: Bahamut had been freed. The war would resume. The destruction could begin again.

Mulier grinned, flattered at his compliments. She glanced back over to the mouth of the dark cave, sighing a bit before nodding once to Guy, shaking his hand with her normal, gloved hand. "Mulier Tentationis. Pure blood vampire, born from noble bloodlines of Demotia and Pruwas." A flirtatious grin creased her lips as she looked him up and down, curious if he'd be able to fall under her thrall just as other men had before.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't old Bahmy." a voice echoed. Suddenly, right in front of Bahamut, a green, glowing image of a dragons head appeared. It could have been any dragon, but it opened its mouth slightly, exposing two great fangs and a forked tongue, so that Bahamut realised who it was. "So, the rumours are true, you've returned." The dragon smiled "And still as ugly as ever. Go on then, spill the beans, i have three catch up questions, one, what the fuck happened to you? two, do you have an evil plan of revenge and/or world domination and three, do you like my new hologram?"

Guy smiled back at her. She was beautiful indeed, but Pretty women dind't sway him, he knew her ways as soon as she tried, he had pulle dthe move with female buyers ti get higher prices. "Money speaks louder than a pretty face my dear." He told her. "Though it is a pretty face I may fall for in some time, keep all your 'ways' to oyurself unless sincere." Guy told her. He didn't like people putting on masks around him. It made him feel like he was un wanted and that person didn't trust him enough to know the real them. Guy rather hav an enemy than a lying allie.

"Oh, lovely. I'm glad to see a Man who can resist my temptations.~" Mulier said with a singsong voice, almost seeming overjoyed by this fact. "But, don't worry Guy, I'm not one who lies to her comrades. What you see is what you get." The vampire grinned and giggled, seeming a lot younger than she really was. The fight had brought her joy; she felt alive and free. Just like she always wanted. Now, the war was coming, and she'd soon enough be able to do as she pleased.

Guy smiled at her laugh, it had been long sice he heard joy. "So where Will I be staying." Guy asked. He had to adjust his armor again, it had once again seemed to shift to a different place. He looked at it, thatw was odd, it looked like it had changed shape a little. He shrugged it off, it must be the angle of the light hitting it. He looekd at Muillier. "So my dear shall we bo going?" He asked, he was always polite to women, unless of course they wearn't to him. But Muillier seemed pretty nice.

Mulier turned and smiled a bit more after the fact, chuckling quietly. "Well, if ole' Bahamut doesn't have any orders for us, then we'll go back to my family's estate in Pruwas. I should be able to have a room or two open for you.~" Mulier giggled and spun once more. She seemed rather elated to be around Guy. As she said, she rarely finds men that can resist her charm.

"Go meet the parents on a first date? wow." Guy joked. he smiled at her. "I have been to pruwas many times but haven't seen nor heard of your family, i know of nearly every rich and wealthy family in all of the known world. how come I don't know of yours?" guy asked politely he was truly interested, she said she was a vampire, he could tell from he skin being even more pale in the sunlight, any more and it would be see through. This one was a mystery, and Guy would love to solve it, This woman seemed to fascinate him in ways any other woman never had, not in a sexual seductive way, but more in a way of opening a book and finding the last page is missing, you need to find out what comes next.
