Esperia V. Eisenberg How had it come to this? A question the young Eisenberg idly asked herself as she remained seated on top of the giant branch of a large tree upon the Baskan hills. To be honest, if one was to take a look at the obsidian-haired damsel right now, then they would no doubt be thinking that the situation she was in was straight out of a comedy. Why exactly was this the case? Because standing at the bottom of the giant tree was a small pack of boars that were clearly eager to try to gorge her upon their horns! It also didn't help that she didn't exactly have any means of combat at her disposal for dealing with those! In the end, a boar wasn't exactly an enemy most humans could wrestle with in terms of martial arts, and magic was not an option for her either, well it could be if she was willing to take the risk to let Asmodeus take the reigns, but that might have been just as dangerous as it would have been useful, so instead she did what any proper damsel in distress would do: Placing her hands at the side of her mouth she took a deep breath and shouted at the top of her lungs: "CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME?!" |
A Boarific adventure (Baron)

He had caught the disgusting scents of boars earlier, he could smell them from yards away their filthy musk made him salivate. The desire to hunt them down over came him and he was already in full on Lycan form snout sniffing the air rampantly as he ran on. He had found himself at the big tree even, well a big tree where the crowd of pigs had gathered. he scaled through the surrounding woods and pounced out with a howl landing on the first Boar he saw tearing it in two. "IT'S DINNER TIME!" he chuckled.

Nonetheless, the Lycan's strength was overwhelming, his clawed arms shredding the boar into half with such ease it might as well had just been a napkin! However, the remaining three boars were not as quick to forgive or be left in awe at the slaughter of their comrade! One of their let out an angry snort as he tried to ambush the man by rushing straight at his back, his tusks ready to try to maim the man. Of course, Esperia had noticed the ambush, so she was quick to shout a warning at the Lycan.
"Behind you!"

There was no mercy, Baron raised one of his claws and with bone splitting force struck the beast just as it entered his vicinity smacking it into the ground. He held the meat in his mouth and picked up the boar with little effort by its hind legs, throwing it at one of the others to leave one last standing. "Tell me miss, grrr, grrrrr," he had found himself struggling to speak, not just because of his mouth being full but it was a light struggle to not snarl every time, "Are you hungry too? Is this your meal?" he continued to growl every time he spoke, words trailing off every time.
"Why don't you join me? I don't smell weakness on you."

A mixture of playful mischief and graceful elegance had served as the nature of her response as she was descended from the tree, but it was during the time that she was conversing with the Lycan that the remaining boar decided to take the opportunity to avenge his breathen, rushing at the man's back, an approach Esperia had noticed just in time.
"Luxuria~"
The word was all that was needed to trigger her magic, a sudden cocoon of shadowy energy shrouding her form while the Lycan would surely spot the fact a collection of rose petals were coiling around his back, the petals forcing the charge of the board to a grinding stop while at the same time two large bundles of pink petals started to wrap together into the outline of a spear, each one lunging straight down into each flank of the beast that collapsed onto the ground with a deafening cry of agony.
"To think she would be willing to use my magic to aid one of the kin responsible for the death of her family, either she is becoming reckless, or she must had been interested in your existence man of the wild~"
A soft smile lingered upon the obsidian-haired female's lips as she watched the rose petals slowly dissolve, leaving the slain boar on the ground behind the Lycan. "So~ I have to admit I'm rather interested myself~ Especially in something you said just now... You mentioned something about a scent?"

He agreed with her sentiment of some creatures being able to hide their potential, though he didn't expect her to act so quickly. He saw or well, he thought he did see blurs of petals pass him by. He looked back and saw it, the boars were disposed of with ease. His jaw dropped, not because of the gruesome scene left behind but the pressure she exerted made his stomach tie in knots, any wild confidence he had before was slowly dissipating, but would return when she spoke to him.
"Ah yes, the scent." he collected himself and looked to her, "I suppose you can say I have a sharp sense of smell, normally when I hunt the beast I chase give off a certain scent, Adrenalin maybe or the sound of their thumping hearts making them easy to find, "But you... You have more to you, you didn't have that fear, you didn't have the pacing heart beat. Call it a hunch, but I knew you weren't going to be hurt by those dishes. But... You, did you transform? You said she uses your power?" he was interested, that was for certain, but still slightly cautious.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 5:00 pm
A playful spin of her body followed by a curtsy as she continued her introduction with a playful smile. "And my name is Asmodeus, the Demon Lord of Lust~ What would the name be of the ferocious gentleman who was so kind as to save us earlier?"
It was evident that despite her playful demeanor the demon lord clearly radiated with a presence of confidence and a power that was different from the raw violent strength that the man himself possessed, and confident she was, for she casually approached the Lycan and bend slightly forward to him, her gaze wandering up to his eyes while her hands gently pulled behind her back, a slight sway of her body following as she added with a little hum. "But yes, by using my power she basically transformed into me, although due to the nature of her existence the power we currently wield is lackluster compared to my true power~"
Sat Jan 27, 2018 5:55 pm
Vessel... That word perplexed him. He couldn't tell what to say, did he answer with his full name? "My name is Baron grrrr...." he held his mouth, "My..... Name... Is... Baron.... Grrr" he bowed again, "Forgive me your divineliness, I'm but a humble mortal. I don't deserve to look upon you and all of your power." he got on a knee, the power she showed was like nothing he had ever seen, in fact it made him want to get that strong but for now he'd keep things formal and delightful.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:07 pm
A hearty chuckle escaped her lips while she pondered for a moment. "Then again, even in their mortal existence, one thing to keep in mind is that even in their mortality they are more than capable of achieving legendary feats."
Honey-layered words that soon followed by a soft hum. "So my dear~ What brings a Lycan out to the hills of Baska? I would likely ask if you're part of a certain pack, but at the same time you seem more like a wanderer~"
She seemed quite interested in Baron's existence, much more than she would be for most mortals. Nonetheless, for now she simply waited to see what the man was doing here, but she certainly was curious.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:14 pm
"Can't say I'm too worried about their reaction, haven't been to church since I was but a babe," he shrugged, "At first I to the hills to find the werewolf who bit me and turned me, seeking an antidote for the curse, but then I ended up liking being a wolf, hunting is the best part of being one after all. He nodded, "I must asks and forgive my bluntness, what brings a fine pair of ladies like the two of you to the hills? If you don't mind me asking of course milady." he tried to stand straight up out of caution.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:22 pm
A soft giggle escaped her lips as Asmodeus gestured as the mauled remains of the wild beasts before she continued speaking. "Albeit, we were actually trying to think about the future. You likely heard that there are some things going on in the capital? I fear that we will be dealing with a rather problematic threat, and my dear Esperia has been rather worried about the consequences this will have for those she care for."
It made sense, in the end, with everyone being summoned to the capital to defend the crown it was understandable that everyone in the country was in danger, and Esperia's loved ones were included in that. No, if she wanted to find a way to keep them safe, she needed more power, and for that she had been preparing a rather grand plan.
"Funny you mention that, Esperia actually comes from a religious family, so her situation is a little bit ironic." A sheepish grin lingered on her lips as she turned her gaze back at Baron. "How about you Baron? Will you answer the call to arms to defend Cronus?"
Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:27 pm
He thought about those he cared about, "Then again, I've no one to care about or well, protect rather. I've been on my own for quite a while so I can't sympathize with your vessel in that regard." his mind lingered to a few of those he had met, but only a pair took his attention and even then he still wasn't certain if he'd fight for them instead of the region, "I suppose if the region really needed a lycan I'd answer the call, though this is the first I've heard of such a thing. Anything else you can tell me?"
Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:35 pm
A soft hum escaped her lips as she raised a hand to her chin, seemingly pondering for a moment. "The murder of the guild masters has left quite an impact upon Fiore, and should the ones responsible for it succeed in defeating the emperor then we might be in for some troubles." She smiled briefly as she gestured at the distant village. "Doesn't matter if it's Cronus, Baska or even Hargeon, the whole country will be thrown into an era of turmoil and chaos should they succeed. In the end, such a world would be quite a dangerous place, one where those she loves might be exposed to danger every waking moment, so even a young girl like Esperia is willing to take up arms~"
She paused for a moment, raising a hand to her chin while she hummed softly. "And one could say that when someone has a reason to fight, they are often at their strongest~"
However, if Baron had no reason to fight, it was understandable that he wouldn't care to protect the city. "Of course, I understand your perspective entirely, whether it's fame, wealth or a personal reason, one should always have a desire to pursue~ a human without desires is dead~"
Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:41 pm
Fighting for fun always worked, though he wanted to walk the journey of a pacifist he could do this one battle, just one more to get into a calm state of mind and get his taste for battle out of his system. He licked his lips, "Erm, I better revert a moment." he sighed as his form shrunk a bit, his muscles retracted and fur retreated revealing his human form, patting his chest and stomach as he smiled down at his original state, "Better right?" he chuckled.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:48 pm
A chuckle followed as she explained further. "Considering my being I can quite approve of a man who holds lust as a reason for fighting~" A little nod followed as she gestured at the nearby boars. "So, I always wondered a little... do you actually eat them raw, or do you actually cook them? The latter sounds a lot more edible and delicious to me, but that's just personal preference~" A little smile lingered on her lips at the remark.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:55 pm
He cleared his throat and smiled weakly, "Yes mam, uh, well in wolf worm I might sample some of the meat raw, but other times I like to season and cook their meat. I gotta tell you either way that hog meat is very sweet. Would you like to maybe try some? I can make us a quick meal out of what I have now, won't take long as long as I get to my camping site" his offer was to the Demon and the girl, he would have to be cautious either way.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 7:01 pm
She waited for Baron to decide what prey he would take with him to his camp and seemed fine with following him back to his campsite, humming a melody along the way as she asked after a while. "I have to admit I never sampled hog meat before, would you say it tastes similar to chicken?" It seemed she was quite interested in discovering more about the dish that Baron was about to prepare.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 7:08 pm
He dusted off an overturned log he had been using as a seat and gestured for her to sit, all the while he scrambled to his tent for a pot and seasonings. The fire, while dangers, was little more than slow burning coals now, therefore he would throw some kindling on to it to get a blaze going. "While that lights up, may I get your names?" he asked with a smile, turning to the flame to get it going once again.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 7:15 pm
A soft smile lingered upon her lips as she looked at the burning kindling, feeling quite curious about the sight of the roasting food. "So~ Baron, you mentioned you were attacked by another Lycan before turning? You are rather fortunate you survived, the Lycan curse can kill you if you're unfortunate~"
A little nod came as she continued further. "To be honest, Esperia has a rather serious past with Lycan, considering they murdered her family and attacked her in Baska..."
A soft hum followed before she shook her head lightly as she took a seat at the log beside him. "Fortunately she isn't the type to judge you simply because you're a Lycan, not that she has room to be judgemental when she is the vessel for the demon lord of lust."
Sat Jan 27, 2018 7:22 pm
He would put the pan over the blaze and let it simmer for a moment watching it simmer down and start to sizzle. He laughed at it, but tried his best to look away from it and to her, "Allow me to get the seasonings." after a moment he'd sprinkle a few things on it and the smell immediately took the air it was a sweet smell, roasted flesh and finer scents mixed in one. He enjoyed it, but he could only hope she once offended.
Sat Jan 27, 2018 7:29 pm
A gentle hum followed, yet soon she caught the rather delicious scent of the roasted meat, making her claps her hands together with a grin. "This scent is truly enough to make even the greatest demon feel hungry~" She could already feel herself starving, and when she saw the meat she couldn't help but feel curious about how it would taste.
"So my dear~ let's sample the meat shall we?" A soft smile lingered upon her lips as she waited to receive the meat, and upon receiving it she raised the meat to her lips, chewing lightly on it. "hmm..." a soft hum followed before she grinned at the man. "It's delicious! The meat is truly as delicious as you said it would~"
Sat Jan 27, 2018 7:34 pm
He looked back at the flame, "Let's hope things go well there."
Sat Jan 27, 2018 7:40 pm

He would depart into the forest, still fearful of the woman of the woman but not overly scared. He licked his lips and walked on to the road, ready for what the world had infront of him it'd be a long road but he was ready, really ready. There was no stopping him now, he was having such a good time. Now it was time to go. Go to crocus, somewhere he had never been just yet but hey what was the harm in rolling out to a new place, nothing wrong with that just yet.
