Predators in the forest[GREEN/LUCRETIA]
Wed Aug 17, 2022 11:57 pm
It wasn’t long till the werewolf found herself wearing a baggy T-shirt without sleeves and a half set of trousers made like shorts. Over her back wrapped in various bits of cloth was her equipment. The only thing that she was wearing without a doubt was her slayer necklace and the set of pyaar earrings since the latter had a habit of staying well put in her ears.
No shoes or bikini would likely ever find its way on her body given the uncomfortable nature of tightly clasped clothing on her body. Her armor was a different story entirely. Her long mane of hair trailed back and seemed to join the mass of fur that was her lengthy tail.
There was a beach around here right? Somewhere? She was keen on finding one of the ones she could lazily spend her time at and maybe catch a few fish to cook later. Her spear would be good for both endeavors and she could feel the trilling of the lion spirit deep within the weapon.
”Oh don’t worry we’ll be there soon.”
She’d chuckle softly and pause; she got a whiff of a scent she didn’t recognize. But it wasn’t a beast or the like; a human. If she had to guess. Downwind a bit maybe? She’d cock her head, take another sniff of the air and pad along. She was curious who’d be out in the forest in a time like this and finding herself sliding down the side of a hill onto a path… Well Nana would see her before anything. A pure white werewolf with striking blue eyes and that ever present slayer necklace.
”Maybe following the scent of someone you don’t know is a bad idea…”
Lucreita would mumble to herself and just shake her head. A grin was plain on her face and a small breeze would catch some of her fur. What on earth was a werewolf doing out here on Luluhawa island? And would Nana even know who she was in the first place?

Gear/Racial Effects:- Spoiler:
- Apex Predator Smell : The user can smell the scent of anything within a 50-meter range to determine their location and hunt them down.
Night Vision: Werewolves are able to see in the dark as though it is day. This also allows them see through magical darkness.
Alpha Physiology: Instead of the normal 20% increase that Werewolves receive passively, the user receives a 30% increase in their Strength, Speed, Constitution, and Endurance. This does not stack with the Transformations.
Magically Inept: Werewolves have difficulty casting magic having a 20% increase in mana cost and a One post cool-down increase for all spells.
Composed Transformation: Not turned, but born as Werewolves, these few can control their transformations better than others. Their transformations have a 0 post cooldown.
Compass Awareness: The user can sense directions like a compass, knowing where a specific direction is. The user receives a reduction of 20% on traveling by foot or on their mount.
Bestial Scaling: The user can dig their fingers into a surface, then propel upward and dig in again, generating the effect of wall-crawling. This can be done on vertical and horizontal surfaces. They cannot stand straight on walls though.
In Tune With The Lands: The harsh savannah of their homeland offered Shaka little refuge from the elements. Constant prolonged exposure to the sun and landscape had toughened Shaka's skin to the resilience of natural reflection. Thus, whenever the user receives damage to their Constitution via Physical Damage, the damage is returned to the source as well for 3 ranks lower than the equivalent received.
Voice Plugin: The user can alter the sound of their voice. The voice is obviously modified, sounding slightly unnatural and enchanted. The user can mentally adjust the pitch, masculinity or femininity, and reverberation of their voice at will.
Destruction Swing: The user becomes more comfortable using two-handed weapons. The damage of a two-handed weapon is increased by 50%. This only affects the damage listed on the page of the weapon.
Belle of the Battlefield: The user can wield a two-handed weapon as if it was a one-handed weapon without the necessary Strength requirement.
Two-Handed Prowess: The damage of Two-Handed melee weapons is increased by 40%. This only affects the damage output of the weapon. It does not affect the damage output of the user.
Rune Knight's Badge: Whenever Rune Knights are fighting criminals to arrest them, the target's attributes are lowered by 10% if the target is ranked equal to the Rune Knight or higher. This doesn't stack when multiple Rune Knights are in the topic nor does it affect a target that isn't being fought by the user in team battles.

”Wonder if they’re hurt?”
Lucreita mumbled to herself and placed a hand on her hip. A little too intelligent for some random beast; some creature that didn’t know better. But the scent was still close; someone she didn’t know. And if they weren’t moving about… Well she’d pad along towards where she could pick that up.
The closer Lucretia got the more monstrous the Lycanthrope seemed. Standing three meters tall; having to stoop her head a little bit and sniffing again at the air. The wind was playing hell with things but she certainly picked that dress up rather than the owner of said dress. Given how close they were to one another it’d only make sense.
”...Just a dress?”
She’d cock her head and stoop down to inspect it; her brow raising as she lifted it up with a pinched pair of fingers. Sure they ended in claws but she wasn’t about to just use those to pick up fabrics.
”Well that’s weird. Then where’s…”

Whatever the beast was, Nana knew it was intelligent- almost human even. The daemon woman had never seen or conversed with a werewolf species before. All of her life had been in the slums of Oak until she was adopted by the Eternal Nightmare guild. The only thing Nana was certain was.... this beast was stalking her. The green haired woman's suspicions proved correctly when the hulking form closed in and right down upon Nana's dress. Even stopped low and holding the white dress, the beast was massive. Compared to Nana, this creature was easily four times the body mass and almost twice as tall as the daemon. Ever eager to inflict pain on others due to her heritage, she rationalized it would be much safer to dismantle the possible threat and torture the beast to give the information as to why it was tracking her. Assuming it could speak of course. With a single graceful leap from the limbs above, Nana would allow herself to free fall as she outstretched her arms and fell spread eagle down towards the white beast. Just as she would almost reach the beast's exposed hide, her daggers would flurry with magic before appearing in her hands and gripped tightly, poised to dig deep into the werewolf's flank once she made contact.

Akeno had been invited by Nana for some time away from the West side of Fiore. It was nice to see the Islands. Akeno had been walking through the forest himself, as he walked up, he stumbled upon a scene. Nana dropping down onto a beast. Why did that not Suprise him. He would cautiously approach without trying to give away his presence just yet. He prepared himself to jump in where he would need to. This beast looked to be on par with his size, this could be the challenge that he has been looking for.
But at the moment Nana had the beast, so until she was thrown or retired from the fight, it was hers to take on for the moment being. Akeno watched the movements of the beast to get a read on any patterns to its movements. he would take this time to learn and be prepared to help to defeat the beast.

Her thought practically finished itself as she felt something make contact with her. Surprised at first; the pain that spiked through her body was definitely not one that she knew to be anything natural made. A falling branch would barely even register to her. It’d simply land against her and fall away.
No this was someone attacking her, pointedly. Twice. She felt it dig in and her attacker no doubt would be surprised in the form’s durability as it likely didn’t dig in as deep as they hoped. With a snarl she’d drop the dress in her outstretched hand and bring it around to grasp at her spear. Was it the owner? Or maybe someone else?
There was clear anger in her eyes, but the next moment might make the two realize they weren’t dealing with just some random beast. She’d snarl out, her hand that was still holding most of her gear let it drop to the ground. Save for one single item. The Assegai of Shaka zulu. A weapon that wasn’t just a toss away like her helmet or her armor. Earnestly none of it was but… that was neither here or there.
”Hey! You daft or looking for a beating?”
The last item to tumble out of the assortment was somewhat out of place… Rune knight badge. She’d take the moment to try to launch the attacker off by slapping at them with the spear. No point in hurting them badly if they thought that she was the aggressor when she was just curious…

One stab had been all it took for Nana to realize this was no ordinary beast, yet she stabbed with the second dagger anyways. Even as her second dagger pierced the tough hide, it didn't go in quite as far as Nana expected it to. Rather, she felt much resistance, followed by a sharp pain in her own back. Knowing full well that she had gotten the drop on the beast(literally), it had been very unlikely that the beast had prepared a sneak attack or counter. To Nana's mind, there could only be one explanation. Magic. This beast was not only powerful, but possible even warded against physical attacks! There was only one way to be certain of this however. Not fully expecting the beast to have responded with such ferocity and compounded with the issues that it held a weapon, had dropped some armor- and lasty, a rune knight badge... led to Nana's full surprise as the beast shrugged off her attack and turned to counter her strike. Even more unexpected was that the beast was more intelligent than Nana had initially assumed. It could wear armor, wield weapons and even talk! While Nana had never seen a werewolf before, she had heard stories and she was beginning to understand just a little of what kind of beast was following her. That posed another serious problem to Nana as she braced herself for the counter. This beast is a rune knight! she thought to herself as she watched the beast raised its spear and slapped it against the green haired daemon. The young woman hadn't met anyone other than her teacher Erebus, who had matched or surpassed her speed. Thus her surprise was complete when the overly large beast attacked with such agility, that the swap of the spear's shaft struck her directly in her left side as she had tried to close in the distance. Not just the speed, but the force was surprising as well! The shaft struck her square and sent her tumbling through the air and into a nearby tree's base. Her body reeled with the pain but she knew now was not the time to drop her guard. If the beast meant to finish her, it would have an easier time if she were to simply run away. Even as Nana hit the tree, the obscura in her eyes manifested, turning her lavender eyes into a black and red mixture. Obscura wings sprouted from her back and she used her acrobatic skills to rebound the distance she had traveled and lashed at the beast's fingers which held the spear. Even as she flew, another thing happened to her body- part of her body darkened with devil energy, enhancing her strength even more. Horns grew out of her head and her aura took on a more volatile nature. If she could prevent it from using its hand, that would give her a huge advantage. Granted Nana knew she could only suffer one more hit like the previous and she would be done. She struck with all her fury, not bothering to respond to the beast's verbal inquiry.

He would than stand up after she would at that time and he would look down to her for moment " Are you alright?" After her answer he would stare down that beast that dwarfed him in strength and made him feel like a slug in speed. He would snarl at the realization, beyond seeing the spear just before contact, he never saw it get drawn or even swing.
Akeno felt hopeless in the face of this beast, he tried to calculate some sort of winning formula, the only thing he could think of is, he would have to sacrifice himself for Nana, she would have to finish this off.
Akeno would notice that Nana had bounded however off of him. What he had planned would not happen, instead she was charging right back in without a second thought. Akeno would sigh and he would charge in as well. Sadly his speed would not allow him close the gap any moment soon, in comparison to the two who were currently locked in mortal combat.

Seeing that her blow sent the other tumbling into another that had arrived on scene did not feed the werewolf with confidence in the situation. This could have been avoided if the werewolf been a little more conscious of others. Maybe calling out before sniffing out the scent would have been better. Checking to see if they were hurt or the like. Now here she was feeling like she was doing the wrong thing.
Feeling the sharp pain along her fingers; nana would also quickly learn that just like her sides or back that her digits were just as tough as the rest of her body. Raising a brow she’d look to thwack the other on the top of the head with her spear. Hopefully not hurting them too much even as her fingers bled from the daemon’s efforts. Sure she was cutting into lucretia; but the woman had literally faced death on a number of occasions and well..
This was not death.
This was a misunderstanding and hopefully showing the two here that she wasn’t going to kill them even if she was going to knock them senseless well… Hopefully a flagon later and some meat could fix this. Her query was ignored and she could see the red haired man approach her. He wasn’t fast by any means, but she knew that if she had to fight both of them at the same time it would be… problematic. Maybe not deadly. But she wasn’t going to say that she wasn’t in danger.
Especially if the two of them were familiar with working with one another…

The sighting of the rune knight's badge had out Nana on a rampage. Even if this werewolf wasn't a rune knight, it would have easily been a misunderstanding to assume she was. Eternal Nightmare's guild master had been murdered only very recently and that wound was still fresh in the guilds' heart. The sight of a light guild's badge- a rune knight's symbol of authority even, had caused Nana to assume the worst. This werewolf was hunting down Eternal Nightmare members to cull the guild. That singular thought had entered Nana's mind as she had transformed and rebounded off of what she thought was the tree she was supposed to have crashed into. So intent upon striking down her foe, that she hadn't even noticed the towering manly figure of Akeno as he had moved to support her in her reckless endeavor. She hadn't even gotten out a single word. A snarl had escaped her lips as her daggers came forward and bit into the werewolf's fingers. Vicious was her attack and her mannerisms had gone from a mysterious assailant, into that of a beast herself as she attacked with abandon. Maybe that would make the werewolf wonder whom the real beast here was: in either case, Nana wouldn't be allowed another attempt, nor word. The spear came down swiftly, more so than previously. Perhaps the werewolf had hesitated before during their attack. This one was different, intent was behind the swing of the spear as the shaft once again found its way onto Nana's body. This time striking her squarely on the head. The daemon's dagger arms would stop swinging and the snarl on her lips had diminished. The whites of her eyes showed momentarily as she eyes rolled into the back of her head and she passed out. Despite losing consciousness, she remained standing, her arms dropped to her sides and still gripping her daggers tightly. It would be up to her ally, Akeno to clear up the misunderstanding and look after her until she regained consciousness. WC-339

Akeno was Prideful, but he knew deep down that Nana was stronger than he was and two hits later she was knocked out, he honestly doubted he could last a single hit from the wolf. Whenever Nana came too he would make sure to be sturn about fighting people recklessly.

She didn’t know that either of these individuals were a part of Eternal nightmare; hell she didn’t even know their names or what they were doing here. The mannerisms of the woman were a bit worrying as they were a tad more savage than what Lucretia expected out of the person. A growl of her own rolled from her lips; maybe knocking them out would make this for the best and give them some much needed clarity?
Lucretia for a moment found herself at odds; not with the people that she was fighting but the person that she had become in this moment. She looked a little irritated and she’d glance down at the spear. A mix of disgust and irritation showed on her face and she’d at first go to stop the other from falling over…
Only to find that the woman hadn’t even fallen over; a testament of their will to continue fighting. Lucretia could respect that and would bite the inside of her cheek in a moment of frustration. She’d like to talk to this person, to apologize and perhaps even make amends but that wouldn’t come easy. Her spear pointed at the next opponent who…
He was no threat; not to her. Especially with the way that he approached. He didn’t want any trouble and the wolf slowly adjusted her spear till she was using it to lean on. She had barely done anything it felt like; was it right to even really fight these two? As they were? She didn’t know the answer to that and that’s what bothered her.
”Go ahead. Oh don’t forget this either.”
She’d stoop down; picking up the dress and tossing it to the man. She figured that the woman would likely want it back and well. Akeno wouldn’t have to worry about the distance between the two or what Lucretia was paying mind to. She was already gathering her things. She might have to go back to the town to figure out what to do with herself…

Even as Nana slumbered, her body had remained tense for several long minutes after the werewolf and the two of them would depart. She wouldn't remember the last few seconds of the confrontation, as it had happened in a blur. Not to mention a good knock on the head probably didn't help with the matter at hand. Despite her unconscious state and tightened muscles, her body knew of the touch of Akeno- a massive man by any stature. He was a prideful man, impressively so. Yet even a man as large and intimidating as him, knew his place and better, knew when was to retreat. If Akeno hadn't the prudence to negotiate a retreat, he too would have likely been unconscious on the ground. Then it would have likely played out that this werewolf rune knight would have discovered their identity and taken them to jail. Fortune and misfortune often visited mortals in equal measure. How easily it was for humans to only remember the misfortunes though. Nana was one of those people. By the time her eyes opened and she remembered that she had initiated a fight with a large wolf-like creature, it was long gone. Akeno had been carrying her back to the resort area of Luluhawa isalnd. The white dress was draped over her shoulders as she had slept soundly. Were this a typical romance manga, she would have fallen for Akeno- the massive man that seemed to have saved her from a dangerous situation. "That bastar-" she would say, mumbling under her breathe. Rather than being humbled by the beating she had received, she took it as a challenge. A challenge to make the beast pay ten times the defeat. If Akeno had looked down at her or acknowledged her antics, he would have seen her tearing the white dress apart with her teeth from frustration. She was so weak and that only made things far worse for the Daemon young woman. All she could do for now was taking the overwhelming defeat. A stumble here was better than falling short of her teacher's expectations at a more pivotal point later down the guild's path. Eternal Nightmare needed all of the strength it could get for the turbulent times ahead. Surely her teacher would be the new guild master of Eternal Nightmare and soon Nana would be called upon to retrieve their prior guild master's corpse. If she failed such a task, she wouldn't be able to show her face again to her teacher Erebus. [end/exit] WC- 419 WC Total- 2,003 WM Training WC(Daggers)- 1,312
