”C-cap-Captain Commander Wolfenstein!”
Lucretia’s eyes shot open and she’d snap her fingers; Benimaru pulled away and she’d scowl at her companion who was still staring daggers at the apprentice that had come to grab her. She’d eye them over and then sit on the side of her bed.
”Whats the problem Apprentice… Roya correct?”
The apprentice stiffened as the werewolf had guessed his name without much of an issue. He’d nod his head and then clack his boot heels together. Giving her a crisp salute and making his report as she quickly threw on a shirt and some trousers. She didn’t bother with the boots since they wouldn’t fit her in this form anyways.
”A monster is attacking the city Captain-C-Commander!”
”Just call me Lucretia, less of a mouthful. Where’s it at?”
The apprentice dug around and handed the Rune Knight captain commander a missive; she’d open it up and read it over. She didn’t seem worried to the other rune knight; the information was like the last time a monster attacked. It had sprung up out of no where but to the better in the know individuals out of the Rune knights… These monsters were some kind of experiments. She didn’t know what she was getting into last time but this?
The chimerae type creature was destroying some buildings in the same district as the prior monster. Which meant that there was a target there that whomever was sending these out wanted. She’d motion for Benimaru to come to her hands and the companion found itself being wielded by her once more.
”Wake my Captains. Tell them to collect the others and get ready for another citizen sweep. I’m going to go and engage the monster.”
Lucretia had requested for a room with a window that could be opened for a reason, pushing it open with the hand that held her shield she’d look back to where the apprentice had run off. She’d smirk a bit knowing that she didn’t have to worry. Roya might have come from a farm but he was a quick study. He’d make a good knight down the line if he lived long enough. Inhaling a bit she’d leap out of the window; the fur on her body rippling as she fell from a few stories up. She had taken a room in the garrison building; one that hadn’t been used in quite some time which suited her just fine. She hated getting used to the cushion; made her feel like she wasn’t doing enough.
As she closed in on the ground she’d stab Benimaru into the building to slow her fall. It sank in and she’d get a glare from the blade. She’d make sure to polish it later; which when stated made the weapon shiver slightly. The weapon did enjoy being treated and Lucretia took care of her equipment after learning to respect it.
She could hear the monster blasting apart the downtown area and she’d grit her teeth. She’d take off running, waving civilians away from the area. They recognized her now and anywhere she was rushing to they would need to rush away from. She’d smirk a bit as once upon a time the people here would have called her a monster and would get the rune knights… If she had ever set foot into the place without the rune knight badge.
