This was the kind of place that someone might use as a hunting ground to harm or kill those unlucky enough to cross a beast here and she was sadly unarmed but she wondered if maybe she was not fully unable to defend herself if she needed to but this all would come back to a bull point she hoped as she wanted to believe that the people of the west were better than the stories she had heard but she would be on edge none the less as she walked the path.

So he sighed. As he would wander the area he'd notice a girl, he'd tilt his head wondering why would she be here. This wasnt the safest of places as far as he'd heard. He supposed he should warn her of that. It wasnt his job to warn people. But in a way it was.
"Humans" he'd think to himself and approach the girl
"Halt over there. Thou shall not stray too much away from the town or else there be danger and trouble" did that sound reassuring or threatening

The woman decided to speak again as she was going up to the cliffs rather he tried to stop her or not."Also if you are so worried about little old me then you can accompany me if you wish my name is Carmina." Before the man even could give an answer she had already turned and started walking as she was not going to just stand around and miss out on the view and she knew it was going to be a bit of a climb up to the cliffs and she wasn't looking to be stuck over night in the area if she could help it.

Once he did, he spoke "My name is Decebal. I am a guild member of the recently established guild in the west, Guardia Compagnia" he had to say the name itself because Phantom Lord was re-established. But that place was an insult to Eternal Nightmare. At least Vex was in his guild. Though he doubted she knew him. He was a nobody in that guild, just a random who'd die if sent to action against the good guilds. But now he was determined to be somebody. He'll figure out a way to do that. Somehow, but for now he needed to play babysitter and be protective of humans

"Do you believe your guild to be strong?" She figured that she should ask as she was not in the full news of all the members of the guild he was part of just that it seemed to be made of nobodies and fresh adventurers that were looking to make a name for themselves. She was one to talk as she was not really that highly ranked and didn’t have a spell to her name yet as most she had seen so far were too weak to be worth taking or she couldn’t seem to take it but she hoped the strange eye that she had gained would help her in the regard. The path seemed slightly jagged and was at a slight uncomfortable amount of incline and she now wished she was wearing boots and not the shoes that she was wearing as she had not known that the starting incline was going to be so great.

"She is a hearty one. Makes good meals too" he didnt interact with Scarlett too much, but he did try her meals and enjoyed them. He did hear that she had a timid attitude. But he figures he'll see that one day on his own
Carmina had asked him if he believed his guild to be strong "Depends how you look at it. For a freshly made guild with a few members, we are strong. But compare that to guilds who have existed for decades and have very long established history and draw to them. No." so it depends who you pin the guild against. What mattered was that they do jobs good and make the people in the West satisfied. Hoping to inspire people to join the guild with its own allure of being rather free and less restrictive with magic council measures, while not being a dark guild to be prosecuted by them
But now it was his turn to ask back
"Why do you ask? Are you interested to join?"

Though just attacking her to test her reflexes is a bad idea. Because if she was weak and innocent, then he'd make the guild look bad, which is something he's not allowed to do per say
"What is your goal?" he'd ask her, cuz this info could just be of some use to further whatever is her main goal. He needed the full picture if he was to tell her this. Though he would rather she goes to Baska to find out for herself
Wed Sep 27, 2023 11:11 am
"My goal is to return to my country and defend my village with the powers I gain here from powerful mages." She was being fully honest as there was no reason to play cloak and dagger with the daemon man as she was not here for a fight she was here for power and knowledge but for a the moment see was just aiming to see the sights that were here. She looked around at the nature around her before they started to more head up to the rockier area that had less plant life.
Wed Sep 27, 2023 11:53 am
He was glad he asked her what her goal was, because asking why she wanted to meet the mages and what was her goal held two different answers. Both important. But now he figured he should answer her
"Hmmm, names mean nothing to you. How about you come to Baska and see for yourself." best way she can wager how powerful someone is if they see them in action, as well that way she sees their magic
"So, you have some copy magic I wager. Since you wish to see powerful mages and use their magic" she placed a big emphasis on seeing their spells, plus she said she wishes to liberate her homeland or whatnot with other peoples magic.
"I have a question. If you have that goal. Why not hire a guild to assist you. Paradise Dawn are mercenaries after all" why not hire help to liberate her whatever, those guys seem righteous. Like they have a seraph as well in their ranks leading them

She wondered why the man would default to tell her to enlist a totally different guild that wasn't his own maybe his guild was far too weak so it would be meaningless to go and check out this guild as there was nothing that could be done about it.

"If you spat in my food, I would've punched you then and there, but that would roughly translate to me taking action right away when something is afoul and defending the village. Something that doesnt equate to your problem. Im guessing back then you were weak or still feel that way and you wish to gain more power" that could be her motives
"Truthfully, I still feel, even if you have the power, there is always strength in numbers or at least a small fellowship." indeed, despite being a daemon, he did believe in some form of a group or team that could be good and beneficial to an individual for some goal.
Although she said it is something she has to do herself. So it must be a very personal matter. Does he understand it? Probably not or not yet. But it was a curious thing
"I see. So is it like vengence?" he asked, trying to see her point
"Are you in Astera in search of strong people to copy?"

The woman turned back around and kept going until she had reached the top of the cliffs and she looked out into the distance and she wondered if this was really going to be worth it and if this guy that followed her might not just be a creep cause he spoke like he should be telling her how to handle her own problem but it wasn't his place and he lacked the strength to be doing that.
Thu Oct 05, 2023 8:26 am
Like he tried to engage in a conversation and if she didnt want to, who was he to force her. And y'know what, why does he care about empathy. Maybe she should slip on some rock fall, die and break her neck. He tried this protection and caring shtick. Humans didnt care. So why should he
"Well then have fun watching a bunch of nothing"
You can see the sunset everywhere in the world, what makes this one so special he didnt get. Bunch of human hogwash spreading tall tales how their home is the bestest. So he went to leave her alone. He should return to Baska. At least the food there is better

"Are you that disgusted by me or does your guild say you should just abandon people that you followed all the way and allow them to come back in the dark alone?" She looked back at him and she wonders if their guild is a group of elitists and thugs and not really a guild that was looking to make this place a better place. She wouldn't think so after meeting Scarlett but this guy is making her wonder if maybe Scarlett needs to be met again and see if Carmina can get her to a safe place any from women using men.

"No my guild does not say that. You just gave me the impression that you wanted me gone. I know I am not the most...." what? Nice? Gentlemany? Good? "good person or good at this whole social thing. But lady. I am trying" and your sass is making it real hard for me to care, but because of the guild I have to swallow my dignity, pride and my own self to not make the guild look bad.
The difference between Guardia Compagnia and Eternal Nightmare was great. The two guilds were day and night of difference and he had to get used to this. Although he wondered if he could. It was in his nature to be dark and bad. And he embraced that his whole life. The whole obscura thing. But he had to get rid of that and he had to walk a different path. One that he didnt know. He did know that his Guild Master changed and he wondered who changed him. What happened at Paradise Dawn and who did he meet there? Questions for later.
He started to walk over slowly, just to gauge how she'd react, if she'd want him around or not. But if it was clear, he'd sit on the edge of the cliff beside her. He might as well see what this mythical view was about

As the sunset she could see what they were meaning the way that the sun looked from here and this angle made it look different than it had before then when the sun was gone and the darkness took hold the waters lit up as if the sun had gone under the water but not so bright. "That is so pretty don't you agree?" She looked back at him with a big smile on her face as she waited to hear what he would say back to her and if this was really okay or not she needed to stop and breath in the night.
Thu Oct 05, 2023 11:18 am
"Yes" he lied, merely just to fit in with this whole farse about goodness.
He did then turn to look at her as he thought for a second what words to spew. But once he got some semblence of a sentence in his mind, he did speak
"I do apologize if I am bad. I used to follow my nature as a daemon" he turned to look at the sunset, merely to avoid further eye contact "I am not used to politeness and expressing it. Everything about this is new for me" and you're making it hard.
Granted he didnt finish his sentence, there were a bunch of things he'd wanna say, but he did have to keep his composure "My Guild Master made me this way. To shed my bloodlust to kill so I can help people I would never help in a million years. So believe me lady. This whole interaction and experience is new to me" granted he didnt know why he decided to open up to a stranger. Granted they did share their names. But the daemon doubted he'd see her ever again. So maybe its the pseudo anonymity. He gets to open up and share his burdens with someone, they leave and never see eachother and the problems and responsibility go away with her.
Part of him did wish he could be better at this or at least that it comes naturally to him. This whole politeness thing was mentally draining on him. The whole camraderie only came naturally to him if it were his brethren, teammates, shield brothers and sisters. This was a random person whom he had trouble connecting with. He just felt so judged by her, as if walking on glass and thin ice, likely to make a wrong move and shed a bad light on the guild. It was frustrating and he wished he could just do better or something

She stood up and gave the hand her hand to help him up as they were going to be now heading back down the cliffs and she may go to find this guild master and give him or her a piece of her mind about forcing people to be something that they are not and she was not going to just walk away from that interaction with less than the mans head on a platter.

If the Daemon had his way, he would've attacked Astera and many civillians there. Now, he was kept on a watchful and metaphorical leash. Yes, what his Guild Master did sounds bad. But with a partial story such as this, one could come to the wrong conclusions.
"I dont think you'd like the real me" for example, he probably would've grabbed her by the throat and tossed her off this cliff. He had many dark and sinful urges. He felt that it was in his nature to be everything your typical nephilim or seraphim was not.
She got up and offered him her hand. He shrugged and took it. Mostly to feel her skin which was rather soft and delicate. Though he did let go of her when he got up. He looked at her curiously as to what did she plan to do now
Fri Oct 13, 2023 9:43 am
"Come on slow poke keep up!" She giggle a little after saying that as she was not sure if he was following her or even being close to being able to keep up with her as she had done these things.
Fri Oct 13, 2023 10:03 am
Truth be told it was just too early for him to tell. "Im coming Im coming" he'd tell her as he'd finally catch up to her. Though now he'd wonder what would she do? Truth be told, he doubted his presence was needed any further. She was away from a dangerous or potentially dangerous place. So maybe now he can return to Baska and see what other quest to take. He had a sinking hunch something would happen. Something big. After all, everything seemed so peaceful and calm. Too peaceful in his opinion. He heard that there was a rise of Phantom Lord also in the west. At Oak in all of places. That guild didnt deserve that town. It belonged to Eternal Nightmare. And it still does in his opinion. He wished that sham of a guild would be crushed. But he cant do anything about it, but just deal with it. But he was getting ahead of himself. What he should do is just train and attain power and work
"Is there anything else you need?" he asked her
Thu Oct 19, 2023 7:20 am
Carmina kept walking as she was going to head back to town and maybe turn in for the night or maybe find a late night fight to watch and learn from.
Sun Oct 22, 2023 3:00 am
He nodded
"I guess we may encounter each other in the future. If for some ungodly reason you wish to interact with me, you know where to find me" he spoke to her and started to make his way back to his guild
