"Kill, maim, my point still stands. So, three shard holders gathered in one place, eh? Seems to me like we'd survive a bit better if we stuck together. Whaddya say we go discuss it with your friend over there?" Alastor stood up, sheathing his dagger, and began walking towards Neo.

"By the way, physical torture? Come on. You get a much better reaction taking away... oh I dunno, titles, reputation, homes. Things like that. Nothing like the desperation of some noble bastard's life falling apart."

"Please. You should see how much a nobleman will beg for his life once I try to kill him. 'You want money? My house? My son? Anything but please spare me! Spare me!' Blah blah blah. Besides i dont think you want to see how i do things." She walks over to Neo. "Also there are 4 shards however. Remember when I said 2 people didnt make it? Well one of them had a shard. So I'm holding onto 2." She says before she hollers at Neo.

"Hey Neo! What are you doing?" She sees a girl in his possession. "Put the poor thing down would ya? She looks like shes been through a lot and doing this is certainly not helping her nerves." She smiles making sure her eyes were her normal emerald green.

Alastor raised an eyebrow. "Agree to disagree then." He quickly says, before muttering under his breath, "Wouldn't mind seeing those methods, though."

Turning to Neo after Jules' remark, Alastor caught the situation at hand. "Oi! Don't make our first meeting a violent one!" He looked up at the child held aloft, showing a warm smile which was, for once, genuine. "Don't worry darl'. We'll help you out. Just hang tight, okay?"

"Maybe one day you will." She winks.

She flies up. "Hello there deary. Would you like to get down and out of Neos... um clutches so to speak." She chuckles friendly. "I hope you dont mind my look. I dont mean to frighten you." Her soft features are rarely seen when she truely means it. This is a rare sight. Little do people know is that Jules has a huge soft spot for children.

Liliath looked to lady who just flied up?! Liliath closed her eyes this couldn't be true. "I am not scared of you." This wasn't really true,Liliath was scared to death. "You can fly." Liliath spoke soft but then she realized she would propbably see more peculiar things. If some kind of weird arm could grab her like that, flying was propbably not that weird. In this case Liliath wouldn't find it weird if some kind of robot would fall out the air.

She wasn't sure if this lady would hurt her, but she did seem kind so maybe it fine? However Liliath wouldn't trust anyone until Neo would let her go.

Adriannu jumped the moment Lisa tried to take to the sky and felt her clawed hands grip the crow tightly as she brought it back to the ground. Back on the ground, she planned to properly pin the crow before trying to interrogate it when something unexpected happened. Suddenly the child found herself on top of a strange looking woman who reminded her of a Cathera was clearly wasn't actually one.

Quickly letting go, she promptly jumped away to get some distance as she tried to figure out how to handle this new situation. Taking a good look at the Chimera, Adriannu noticed that she looked a lot like this Lisa that Raven had described. This would be further reinforced by Raven running up and taking a mouthful of her dress while saying what sounded like stop. So at this, she removed the dagger from her mouth and asked the cat. "Is this Lisa?"

Assuming Raven confirmed her suspicion, she'd sheathe the dagger before looking down at the black cat and asking. "Why did you call her a creep then? Between that, her being able to talk and following us, I thought she was an enemy, maybe even a spy of Victi. It would make sense as people don't normally pay too much attention to wildlife on their travels and I don't know what methods she'd used to look for us."

Neo would put the girl, downthen said,"There,now she won't be afraid."He would climb the tree,and look at the girl,making sure she doesn't run or steal something.

"There, was that so hard?" Alastor calmed down slightly. "So I'm guessing you're Neo then? I'm Alastor. Try not to bug too many kids just trying to survive, and we might get along, yeah?" Alastor then pointed at Neo's arm. "Oh, and nice power you've got there." Alastor then turned to the child before them.

Kneeling down beside her until he was at eye level, Alastor began to speak in soft tones. "Hey kiddo. Told you we had you covered eh? That was very brave, how you handled yourself just then. But I don't think you've got anything to worry about with Jules over there." Alastor gave a quick chuckle before waving Jules over and continuing on. "So what's your name, huh? A kid as adventurous as you's gotta have a name for us to call you."

"You say power,I say curse...",Neo said.He would look at the guy, and think that he's most like a bounty Hunter,like him.But that didn't matter,and he think that they should move,but he'll wait.The arm can magic,and he has Rudra.

Liliath started to feel a little bit overwhelmed with all those people around her and talking to her. The person who's name was Neo made her feel scared. Then another stranger asked her name. Liliath didn't want to tell any person who she didn't know her name. "It isn't important for you to know." She stated calm. She didn't want to trust strangers, trusting strangers always let to trouble.

Rudra would see the girl scared and would say,"Please calm down childzif your afraid of Neo, don't be.He's just warming up to ya.Can you please tell us your name."Neo would roll his eye, knowing that the girl would probably say nothing.Rudra would say,"You and Neo at least have one think in common,you both don't trust strangers.Neo doesn't trust the new guy,and you don't trust anyone,cause people cause trouble...right?"

Liliath simply ignored both of them. Liliath started feeling way more overwhelmed with all of this then she expected to be. Maybe it because she hadn't talked to anyone for at least a month, maybe it was because of her past. The only person who she kinda liked was Jules. She acted normal and not so odd like these people. Liliath climbed back in the tree, but nto so high as before. If Jules wanted to talk to her it was fine.

Alastor let out a soft sigh. "Alright, kid. You take your time. Neo, and.. weapon, I guess.... perhaps we should discuss some other things? Seems like we got a common cause to talk about, and maybe Jules can watch her for now." Alastor looked over at the child, a slight hint of concern showing through his usual demeanor. The kid was rattled, to say the least, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this. All in due time, I guess.

Alastor nodded towards the nearby cliffside. "How about we head over there? I need an update on what you and Jules just went through." He began walking to the indicated spot.

Jules elegantly flew and sat next to the girl. She turned into her human form to make her feel more comfortable. "There I'm not so scary anymore right?" She smiles warmly. "Having a rough time of things huh? You know, yo and I aren't so different! How about I tell you a story about a little girl. There was once a little girl who once trusted a person. They... well they saw her turn into a demon and..." she looks away for a moment. "And he tried to kill her. She ran away from everyone after that. That is until she got older and met this wonderful old man. He was blind. We will call him Jeremy. He didnt care what she looked like. He saw her for who she was on the inside." She smiles thinking back.

"The rest is pretty grim so I will save it for another time. That is if you're interested. I told you this story to let you know that not everyone is untrustworthy. Sure they seem scary on the outside, but inside? Well that's where the beauty lies." She swings her legs as she sits on the branch.

"You dont have to tell me your name if you dont want, but I would like to call you something other than girl." She chuckles. "Anything youd like me to call you?"

"You were never scary."Liliath said "That is horrible why would someone do that!" Liliath raised her arms in the air. "The story is about you right?, you are a demon so it must be about you." She continued. "I don't thnk you are scary, you are like an angel but diffrent. I want wings to then i can fly away and go to every place i like!"

"I do like you, your just act normal to me."

"No, you make something up you like. That's what i like the best." Maybe she would tell Jules later what her real name was, but for now she wouldn't. "So what now? We can't sit here for hours can we?"

"Well we could. The sunset is quite beautiful up here. However, we should get moving sweet pea." Her wings sprout. "You know, if you want I can introduce you to those men down there. They may seem... mean looking, as most men do. But deep down they are real sweet. Want to give it a try? I wont force you of course." She holds out a hand. Her heart is warm that she doesnt see her as a monster.

"The sun is indeed beautiful, i like the sun it makes things warm." Liliath said pointing to the sun.
"Yes we should go." Liliath said "No you don't have to, i won't talk to them only to you." Liliath grabbed her hand "Friends call me Lily, by the way." She said before she climbed down. "If you are an angel like thing do you come from heaven then?" Liliath asked curious.

"Sure."Neo would walk with you to the cliffside.When he reached he would say,"Okay so what you want to know?"

Alastor turned to Neo. He was unsure about how things would go talking with him after his weapon outright admitted that the guy didn't trust him, but he needed to get some kind of information before they headed off. "Alright, so I'm going to cut straight to the point. Yeah I've got a shard, and I know you've got one too. But at this point I'm blind on who we're taking on. I know you aren't my biggest fan right now, but you and Julesy over there got into a fight with whoever's chasing us I'm guessing, and looking around I can also guess how that went for you guys. So I need a couple of details. Something to look out for. If you and her know what this sorceress looks like, I need to know before we get moving."
Alastor glanced over to the forestry. "Might want to keep it simple though, looks like Julesy over there has already got the kid down."

"Basically a vixen wants the shards to form a damn vase that could destroy the world...at least that what I'm getting.Oh,and don't call them weapons,they will hate you for as long as you live."
