There weren't many people here for obvious reason but she had already found a prey and was walking softly behind him, making no noise, Victoire remained further in the back until Nas would have grabbed the victim and hold her hand in front of the person's mouth and sink her teeth in his neck. It was a really satisfied feeling to be drinking blood, people would simply not understand. When she was done, she would simply let go off the body and stare at it at the ground, this was the first time she really looked at the person but shrugged, she licked her lips clean of blood; oh well it was too late anyway to safe him.

There weren't many people here for obvious reason but she had already found a prey and was walking softly behind him, making no noise, Victoire remained further in the back until Nas would have grabbed the victim and hold her hand in front of the person's mouth and sink her teeth in his neck.

And yet, he was still fascinated by these primal urges, causing him to follow the smell -as all his senses still worked as previous- of blood as it lingered in the air. Someone, a vampire more likely than a lycan, had just fed. There was no stench of death, yet Odin could almost taste the blood himself, a metallic taste that no one could draw from him. Arriving at the source would cause the Lich to raise and eyebrow, or at least feel the puzzled emotion as he was incapable of raising what he didn't have. He walked up to the vampire before him, stopping perhaps seven meters away from her. She was facing away from him, but her clothing, hair, and height gave away who it was, even though it had been months since her last appearance. A deep, hollow voice escaped the Lich's mouth and he spoke, reverberating throughout the entire forest, having finally found the only friend he had ever known.
"Nastasya?"
Sat Nov 04, 2017 4:36 am
Victoire looked around Nastasya as well but didn't seen to recognize the person as well. "And you are? Because I'm a hundred percent sure I would remember you." She said trying to make a teasing sound but she was still very aware that this person knew her real name and she absolutely didn't like that. She tried very hard to pretend like she didn't care, leaning a bit backwards into the nothing, she had to make sure that she would get out of this situation without too much trouble. Afterall there was a body lying behind her and maybe this person had noticed her fangs and the bitemark. Which would mean things for obvious reasons. Who knew, how to kill bones?
Mon Nov 06, 2017 12:50 am
It was strange, too, that Victoire didn't recognise Odin, as the animal may have been able to recognise the scent of the dark mage. Perhaps Odin no longer gave off any scent, not from his body anyway. Being without flesh, without blood, it left little to be detected with the use of one's nose, another interesting application of Odin's new body. Putting that to the side for the moment, Nastasya did deserve an answer of sorts, although it was always fun to play a little first, as the hollow voice once more echoed throughout the otherwise deserted forest.
"Me? Nothing special, just your run of the mill vampire hunter, pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Mon Nov 06, 2017 2:07 pm
She asked who he was and she got some answer that she didn't believe but she couldn't help but smile because actually it was funny.
"Well isn't that interesting. I didn't know we had a date? Can't also remember you, must be a very good first date.. I forgot to catch your name darling, can you say it again?"
With another look at Victoire she told her companion without words that she needed to be prepared for anything, even if this guy was a Vampire Hunter it couldn't be so difficult with her name, afterall.. they figured out with her house and kicked her out.
"I hope you wouldn't mind but I'm awfully busy as you see." she pointed at the body, "I think I would have to cancel this date or appointment or whatever you want to call it. But you can bring this one home, be a hero and all, would people accept that?"
The last was more a reference to what this person looked like but she took a few steps backwards to get away from the so called hunter. She still wasn't sure if it was true but who would risk their skin.
Tue Nov 07, 2017 1:16 pm
Odin was content to let her speak, his unmoved skull betraying no emotion: a feat that was much easier without the worry of twitches or anything of the sort. If Odin showed emotion, he had to physically move his skull, something that wouldn't happen involuntarily. He waited until she spoke about him being a hero, if he instead brought the body back instead of attacking her. Honestly, Odin decided at that point to stop with his facade, and allow Nastasya to know who he was, who he once was at least.
"A hero? Not my style honestly. I'm just a humble bartender after all, and occasionally your guild mate, although it's been a while."
Wed Nov 08, 2017 9:38 am
She gave him the option to bring back this body and leave her alone, that's when he replied to her, saying he was a humble bartender and she frowned, opening her mouth to comment immediately, he had just said! See she couldn't trust.. oh.. She tilted her head a little to the left but changed it to tilt to the right and in the mean time looking very confused, "Odin?"
Well things certainly had changed the last couple of months, half a year or whatever long time it had been, "Is it weird to say you look good? Healthy?" she said again with this sarcastic tone but she was smiling friendly, "It is nice to see you again after I disappeared off the radar, isn't it?" Victoire eased as well since it seemed that Nas was calming down, "Don't mind my curiousity, I mean you probably wondered what happened to me but boy what happened to you?" She didn't call him a boy, it was more this surprised thing to say because he didn't even look human anymore, and here she had complained months ago about turning into a vampire.
Thu Nov 09, 2017 9:47 am
It was then that Nastasya spoke about Odin's transformation, saying that he looked healthy, potentially the least accurate adjective she could've used, but yet still fitting for the dark mage. Odin had given up his body, but he had gained great power from it, and he was capable of doing so many things he had previously been unable to achieve, such as his undeniable mastery over darkness magic. Her tone was still one of sarcasm, but her smile was friendlier, as she said that it was nice to see him again after all the time she'd been away.
Nastasya then, obviously, asked the question. The one anyone and everyone would ask once they knew Odin was Odin. What the hell caused this change. Honestly, the details were between Odin and Lucifer, and not something anyone needed to know about, but the short story was what he would give her.
"I paid the necessary price for great strength, and it's Grimm now, Lucifer is dead, and Odin is no more."
Thu Nov 09, 2017 5:20 pm
She couldn't help but to ask what happened, it was probably the first question that everyone would ask him, but than again the change was obvious, he should better get used to it. For the first time she wondered how the others were, Yumi, Caius.. Erebus. Her friendly and open expressioned changed for a second into something angry, her eyes glowing, but she quickly restored her face, not smiling, just looking neutral as a porcelain doll. The first time she tried this night, it wasn't necessary but she had to think about something else. "A price indeed but it sounds interesting considering the strength." as if she was to judge him, it was obviously his own choice and she hoped for some reason, that he understood she would definitely not judge him. "I shall try to remember. In case we meet again." Would that be possible? For some reason that were unknown to her and for the first time in awhile, she wouldn't mind contact with another person as she had been alone for so long.
Fri Nov 10, 2017 1:32 am
"Unless you plan to disappear again, I believe we will be seeing much of one another. Some of us met up in Hargeon after what happened: myself, Yuni and another. The guild is failing Nastasya, and it is time we gained the power worthy of the strongest force in Fiore. That is why this change occurred. To serve the guild, and my own purpose, I needed power, no matter the cost. We must all be willing to make sacrifices to gain strength. After all, this is only the first step."
Mon Nov 13, 2017 3:00 am
She eyed him even more Yumi, Caius and who more, she simply looked away. She was absolutely willing to sacrifice for gerater strength, but she would want to keep sane. That wasn't much too ask right? "I wouldn't mind to return or so to call it since I never left. I just had a few things to take care off, unfortunately it took longer than I thought." It wasn't only that, it was trying to find answers to her own sanity, thank god she still had not killed off Victoire but who knows how long that would take, she couldn't simply go and attack her fellow guildmembers. Besides that it was rude it would also mean she would die.
"Are there any plans now? I don't think there is much I can do apart from again training myself, which doesn't sound like a bad plan."
Mon Nov 13, 2017 6:11 am
Perhaps it was because of how much he'd changed, perhaps it was because of the things he had seen, but Odin had become much more serious since turning from human to undead. He still understood humour, and could still take and give a joke, but something had changed within him, his personality had changed slightly. Also the mention of Icarus always, for reasons unknown, changed the mood for Odin. The man was shrouded in mystery, and known only as the enforcer of the guild master's will, a man who was even more of an enigma than his soldier.
Nastasya said she had her reasons for being away for as long as she had been, giving indication that she didn't want to get into it if she could avoid the topic. Respecting her wishes, Odin focussed on the other aspect of what she said: asking what the guild was currently doing, something both Odin and Yumi had discussed in detail during their stays in Hargeon. The guild was becoming weaker, the failed attack on Blue Pegasus proved this. Sure, it had succeeded in some ways, but Odin had failed in his fight, and so he had needed to improve in every way he could, which had started with him giving up his soul, and relinquishing his old power for something new.
"Currently, training yourself is the only thing to be done. The older members: myself, Yuni, Black and probably you, are the only ones in charge of recruitment at this time, as Yuni wished to gain the strongest members that we could. Gain power for yourself and the guild, as I intend to myself."
Tue Nov 14, 2017 3:10 am
She raised an eyebrow as Odin spoke about the recruitment of others, "Just curiousity but how does one recruit people if you can't tell people were are part of the Guild.." she almost slipped out the name but decided against it, you never knew who would eavesdrop on you even in this forest in Dahlia. "Besides that I think I should first work on getting better myself." she let it hang in the air as if she meant to get stronger but that wasn't the only thing.
Tue Nov 14, 2017 10:18 am
Her question caused a hollow laugh to once again leave Odin's skeletal mouth, as she was the second person to ask it, the first having been the Pandora girl that Odin had met during the last guild meeting. "Yuni answered that question rather well. Use your intuition, recruit them to the mindset of the guild, before introducing our true nature. Seek out people from other guilds, there are bound to be some who think like we do. That was the response."
She had the same opinion as Odin in that regard as well, although Odin had decided not to focus on recruitment because he had never viewed himself as one of the higher ranked guild members. If someone approached him who though like they did, he would recruit them, but he would not seek anyone out, rather choosing to focus on his own strength before adding to the guild's with another.
"I feel the same way. There is an old saying about quality over quantity. The guild needs both, but I imagine quality will always be the superior choice."
Thu Nov 16, 2017 3:06 am
Nas simply looked away from Odin and raised her eyebrow, use your intuition it made her almost laugh but she didn't as she respected Carnage a lot. "Well isn't that going to be fun. If I ever bump into someone, I will give them my number." Which was something she would probably never do, she had been close to telling two people now and they had betrayed her so she wasn't that well with intuition, "Have you ever done that before? Recruit someone I mean?" but her question was answered before that or well basically because Odin agreed with her wanting to work on himself first, "It would be nice to have such motivation, can't say I have. I really do want to become well cliche better but.." she hated how she talked like some cliche drama girl whose rich income had stopped, it did her manor was taken, "There just seems to be a lot going on." Her priority should be with the guild. She had left Phantom Lord, had been recruited based on someone's intuition and she should repay that by becoming a better fighter and use her magic for the better.
Thu Nov 16, 2017 7:34 am
The question was then asked as to whether or not Odin had ever recruited someone to the guild, to which his answer was an easy one. He had never found anyone willing to join their ranks, nor had anyone seemed keen, but that didn't mean he didn't have sway over some people. "No, I have never recruited a new member to the guild, but there is a possibility of something further down the line. There was one I met in Hargeon, one with the drive to become stronger no matter the cost, and one with a goal to end the life of someone known to them. All in all, she fit the bill, but I am waiting for her to improve before I do anything more. After all, there is no rush, I own their soul after all, one of those fun contracts Lucifer once spoke of to me. I own this mage, all I have to do is provide her with the head of her sister."
If he was speaking to anyone else, Odin would not have so openly divulged such interesting information, and instead probably refuse to even mention his ownership of Lacie's soul. But Nastasya was someone he could trust, someone he knew he could trust. But still, he didn't give the name of the girl to his guild mate, that was something between Odin and the girl. Nastasya got more information than anyone else would, even if it was still not everything.
While Odin spoke, he noticed that Nastasya didn't seem to be the same person as she had once been many months ago. She seemed less sure of herself, as if something terrible had happened during her time away. Odin didn't know what it was, and he wouldn't ask, but Nastasya was lacking in motivation. She wished to become stronger, but had no reason for wishing it. Now that, that was something Odin could help with.
"Let's train together then? You want some motivation? How about a desire to not be killed, it kept me going when I was literally at death's door. You'd be surprised what it could do."
Fri Nov 17, 2017 5:18 am
She nodded, this might even sound better and no harm was done to the guild, which she liked better. She couldn't say anymore that she prefered quality over quantity, her guild was by no means allowed to die down because people disappeared but she had been one of those people and it was her own turn to make herself a better person and with that much stronger. "You own her soul?" It was funny how he had avoided to say her soul but he said her sister, so it was a woman after all. "You just showed your good looks and it worked?" it was funny teasing him but she was really surprised that it could be done, of course she had never had that power nor spoken to a demon in her mind or shared a body, she had spoken to Lucifer from time to time but not all to often. She could count the encounters on one hand.
They spoke more, about the guild basically and she admitted that she needed to find motivation to go on. As she wanted to be stronger, surely she did but how? She had avoided looking at him when she brought that up but she heard him speak about training together and she looked at him with surprise, "You want to train with me?" Or well his motivation sure sounded like a reasonable one, "I could make a funny joke that I'm undead as well but I can still die completely and I rather do not do that, so that sounds like a good motivation to actually do something."
Fri Nov 17, 2017 9:12 am
"I don't see why not. The best way to improve ourselves simultaneously is to fight each other and use everything to do so. Besides, I need to get used to this body, and there's only one way I'll be able to do it without fighting a stranger." There was other reasons than just fighting a guild mate. Odin had as brand new body, and a magic that he hadn't fully trained yet. But Nastasya, while equipped with a powerful arsenal of spells, had been out of the game for a very long time now. She was out of practice, and Odin had limited options. They were both far from their peak performance, and so something a simple as a spar could help them increase that power to its height.
Sat Nov 18, 2017 12:51 am
As they continued to talk, the conversation turned to her lack of motivation, the invitation to train together and now Odin no, she should start to get used to the word Grimm mentioned that he basically needed a sparring partner. "Interesting." it was a long time ago that she used her magic but it would be fun. "I'm glad I made my way to Dahlia." But it felt a bit weird so, it felt like she was trying to be someone that she wasn't. Perhaps it was what normal people would feel about meeting old friends and she wasn't normal.
ooc: sorry short post :c
Sun Nov 19, 2017 10:16 am
It was true, Odin was indeed in a unique situation, and more than simply because of his new form. There were many things he had experienced that no one else had, things that no one else could even begin to comprehend. Owning the soul of a young woman; being a demon's vessel; literally dying, these were only a few of the experiences that had made the dark mage who he was now. They had shaped him, and continued to do so.
She seemed glad that she had made her way to Dahlia, as it helped her both encounter an old friend once more from a time long past, as well as help her sate the blood lust that was the main detriment to her own powers. Odin had no such need to feed on blood, or anything for that matter, he simply had to protect his soul and make sure no one found out where it was hidden. Currently it was still in his own possession, but it would be dangerous to keep it that way. He had plans for after Dahlia, he knew where to go and what to do.
"Well, what say you, Nastasya Crowe? Will you join me once more to ravage Fiore?"
Mon Nov 20, 2017 3:37 am
She frowned and looked at Victoire for another time and her companion still seemed to be very sure if she liked this situation but she would adapt soon enough. In her sane moment, which was obviously now, the evidence was still around, she couldn't even understand how much she liked seeing Odin agian, she only understood that it was nice to talk to someone again, she talked to Victoire but her companion was never able to reply.
Because of this she said she was glad that she had come to Dahlia, of course they all had their ups and downs and she had mostly been getting lectures from the other Grimoire Heart mages about what to do. Okay not all the time but that's how it felt, she wondered if it was part of the reason why she left on a journey without telling anyone but since it had been an insane moment, some that happened more often, she wasn't entirely sure. Maybe hanging out with someone else, maybe that would bring back more sanity.
She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard her name and her red eyes focused on her friend, a smile spread across her pale face and soon her sharp vampire teeths were visible, "Oh hell yes." It felt good to be back in a state of doing something that she like doing instead of being all alone or alone in that case with Victoire. Perhaps slowly there was a new goal at the horizon. "Just say if I'm too curious but how does that work, where is Lucifer?" Because he mentioned improving himself, did everything change when you became a lich?
Mon Nov 20, 2017 6:24 am
A toothy, mischievous smile formed on Nastasya's face at the idea of ravaging Fiore once more, before asking the inevitable question of what had happened to his former magic, and where the demon prince now was. There was a brief silence before Odin responded, thinking of the best way to phrase it. "Lucifer is gone, his power is no longer mine to control. That is all there is to it."
Tue Nov 21, 2017 10:39 am
"Just to be sure because we are working together again and you mentioned training, what magic do you use? I know my blood magic is a bit rusted since I barely use it. It would be nice to have a new perspective of things for that matter." She turned her eyes onto something she couldn't even see yet, but she thought she heard something. No knight would get in here and only stupid humans like the dead one on the ground would try, but of course you had other vampires, lycans or such creatures that might room the forest around. This creature if it indeed was one, should regret bumping into two mages of Grimoire Heart.
Thu Nov 23, 2017 12:39 pm
Things then changed for the more serious as Odin was asked what his new magic was, now that he was without Lucifer's abilities. As a smile, and mild show of his newfound and awesome power, Odin allowed his shadow to increase to a much bigger size, enveloping both Nastasya, and even the dead body behind her, with another wide grin on the skeleton's face. "I have control over darkness now, and it has helped me become much stronger than I once was. My powers have evolved, just as I have."
Thu Nov 23, 2017 1:43 pm
Before they would enter such catacombs, where the last time they had bumped into something.. gross... what was it again.. slime? She wasn't sure but she was also curious to find out what Odin would be able to use as magic and she noticed after she asked the growing shadow, which reminded her of her own shadow magic that she had been able to use, it definitely looked like some same sort of darkness magic, "It is always nice to be able to use something that fits you, I wish I had that ability as well. Shadows fitted me far more than the blood I can use now, but I do not complain, blood gives me a lot of options."
