Prolog
I'm not perverted, I just plan when I'm going to act perverted
—A Friend
The city was damp and dingy. The sky was dark with storm clouds and the air was soaking wet. Gabriel's knife was still damp with Demon blood. He had already killed three that night and was getting tiered. He need a new shirt and shield. Both had been destroyed by the Kyton he had just killed and his left arm was wounded badly. Gabriel had used his tattered shirt to wrap his wound. But it was dripping with blood. After walking the city streets he finally reached his apartment. He slipped inside silently out of habit. He replaced his demon bane dagger and half empty bottle of knock out poison. Throwing his jacket on the chair he rewrapped his arm and flopped down on the bed.
"Oww! Hay! Watch were you flop down sexy."
"O sorry Jess, didn't see you there."
"Right . . . I'm sure, so how was your night?"
"Um good, I so tired though three in one night, their getting more numerous."
"Too tired to play a little Riel?"
"Off course not I can always have some fun with you, you know that."
Gabriel slid his hand up onto Jessica's breast and kissed her. She kissed him back and he squeezed and kissed her stomach. Giggling Jess rolled over on top of Gabriel's waist and pushed her self up. Jessica took Gabriel's hand and brought it to her chest than with her other hand she stroked his hair, "I think we should have a child Riel." She whispered in an alluring voice. Laying on top of him, and rubbing his neck, "what do you think?"
"Well I think," Gabriel said kissing Jessica, "I think . . ." stopping mid sentence Gabriel shot upright and went rigid; he put his hand over Jessica's mouth.
"Shh...Don't speak, don't breath, some one is in our apartment." Silently Gabriel got up and grabbed a long curved knife and some knock out poison. He slid it over the knife and slipped into the main room. His dark vision swept the room but Gabriel didn't see anything. He slipped around the room and into the cooking area, still nothing. He picked up a wood bowl and through it into the main room. It clanged against the floor and suddenly was shredded. Demon Gabriel thought Damn it why here, how in the nine hells do they know where I live. He lifted his knife to his left shoulder and slipped towards the shadowy figure. Leaping he brought his knife down perfectly and hit nothing but air. Shocked Gabriel spun around. He was a second to late. A frying pan smashed into the side of his head. Falling over Gabriel hit the floor, out cold. When Gabriel awoke his head was spinning and he heard crying coming from the bedroom.
"Riel!! Help!! Pleeaasse!"
Still feeling woozy what happened before hit Gabriel like the frying pan he groped around and found his demon ban knife, mumbling under his breath Gabriel dashed into the bedroom, the sight he saw made his blood freeze, a shadow demon was raping Jessica. In a fit of rage Gabriel leapt into the air bringing his knife above his head and slamming it into the head of the demon. it slumped forward and Gabriel through the demon across the room and smashed into it many time with his knife coating his silver Drow hair is dark purple blood.
"Riel please stop its dead"
"Damn it Jess I can't not after ... o that fucker curse the fucking gods!!"
"Riel don't say that I'm not hurt just well disgusted with my own existence..."
"What Jess it's not your fault if anything it mine.''
"No Riel it's not your fault"
"Look lets not fight lets sleep we can take care of the body after we sleep."
"Ok, ok fine Riel"
:::::Nine months later:::::
"Are you still sure you want to have this child Jess, it's still not too late to change your mind."
"We've had this conversation many times were keeping the child no matter what happens and we will love it no matter what"
"I know Jess I know"
"Hay Riel how about we go for a walk?"
"Sure Jess anything you want"
As Jess and Gabriel walk through the city the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Suddenly Jessica falls into labor as they were walking down the ally to there apartment.
"...it hurts so much"
"I know honey hang on"
After about an hour of lying against the wall Jess' enlarged belly started to glow black.
"It hurts so much more than before"
Hours later the glowing got more devoid of light and the pain grew in jess' eyes
"Riel...I don't know how much linger I can hold on the pain is so great I really...can't go on, I'm really sorry but...I just...I just uhh!"
"No Jess please don't go no damn it no" as Gabriel griped Jessica in her last moments of life Jessica's stomach split down the center and a black sphere a few feet in diameter floating a foot above her body the sphere began to shimmer. Gabriel looked up from Jessica's body at the sphere and moved his hand towards it. Pushing both of his hands into the sphere he pulled from it a small infant Drow with jet black skin and charcoal hair, eye's the colour of blood and pointy nails. Clutching the small child Gabriel took Jessica's body and brought it back into the house. "You are one cursed child and I am going to teach you to kill demons with a passion, you will be Guinevere, bane of all Demon lords, May Jess bless you for ever Gwen"
:::::nine years later:::::
"Don't move and keep you eye on the target, now draw the target two you, take aim and...Fire" Gabriel whispered in Guinevere ear. She did as she was taught and told, holding her bow she aimed at the babau standing over his next victim, drawing the bowstring back to behind her ear aiming between he eyes she loosed the arrow. As it flew through the air Guinevere's mind followed the arrow directing it to its mark, with a sickening crack the arrow went into the demon's skull all the way down to the feathers. The point sticking out of the back of its head dripped green blood as it slumped over the woman's bed.
"HOLY SHIT!!! GET THIS FUCKING THING OFF ME!!" as she screamed the woman was groping at the air trying to grab something to pull her self out.
"Stop moving and clam down" Gabriel said as he walked towards the babau body. Bending down he started to lift the body of the woman.
"No STOP! What the fuck are you things!" the woman yelled at Gabriel.
"Why we're the people who saved you ass, you have no problem with Drow do you?" cool as day Gabriel spoke putting emphasis on the Drow.
"The people, you mean creatures, and who saved me bahhh! That . . . that thing was probably yours just so you . . . you could look like the heroes then rape me, BITCH!!" The woman spat in Gabriel's face
"Do Not, disgrace my father again you pompous shit of Loth, or I will be forced to put an arrow in between your eyes faster than Cuthbert can smite me." Guinevere said walking out of the shadows wielding her bow. From the base hung twelve dried demon and devil thumbs. An arrow was knocked and Guinevere started to pull it back towards her ear as she spoke. "Each thumb hanging from my bow is a demon or devil I have killed I have no problem putting this arrow through your skull."
Finally pushing the demon body off her self she grabbed a blanket to cover her nude body "look stop her, she is crazy please stop her! Damn it Stop Her PLEASE!!
"So . . . Now you want me to stop her do you." Gabriel said flipping his knife in the air. Guinevere moved closer to the woman placing the arrow tip right at the top of her nose. A small trickle of blood moved down the side of the woman's nose and onto her lip where it pooled slightly and continued down her face and dripped onto her chest. Holding her bow steady Guinevere bent down and licked the blood of the woman's chin then, kissed the side of her lips. The woman was trembling, you could see the fear building in her green eyes, then her eyes rolled back into her head and she slumped back onto her pillow.
"Glad to see you still dip you arrows in our poison Gwen now first how long will she be out?"
"Well about ten minuets, right?"
"Right, and why the fu . . . in the nine hells did you think to lick that woman's face!" Gabriel said sternly
"Well . . . you see . . . I, um well"
"I'm waiting" again sternly tapping his foot
"It was the succubae we saw a week ago, they were doing it with the human's blood, and it . . . well looked fun, that's all."
"You are a nine year old girl I will not stand for your actions or langue, you are not to mimic demons from now on understood?!"
"Yes sir"
"Good, now then lets get out of here before little bitch wakes up"
"daddy now you are going back on what you told me" giggling she took out her knife and sliced off the thumb on the demos left hand, then taking a strip of leather from her neck she tied the thumb on her bow and slipped into the shadows with her father.
:::::three years latter:::::
"Don't move." Guinevere hissed arrow knocked and pulled behind her ear. The demon thumbs had gotten so numerous on her bow she had begun strapping them to her knife handle, then to her necklace, and finally to her pack.
"Ah, Guinevere, have you been well?" the dark said, turning around to face her.
"I said don't move or I will put this arrow through the back of your neck, understood"
"My, my we are defensive, so I gather you think I am going to kill this human youth, or rape him or something, no?"
"Um well yes but no, who the fuck are you?!"
"Ahh there we are you have hit the million dollar question I am Margaret."
"Margaret who?"
"um I don't really know but I have come to take you away" as Margaret spoke she turned and faced Guinevere, her blood red eyes pierced into Guinevere, and Guinevere loosed the arrow and it flew directly into Margaret's right eye calmly she removed the arrow and as her eye grew back Margaret snapped the arrow between her fingers and calmly spoke "now I must go you see you have wasted my time, some one else will come for you in three days."
"Hay dad about six hours ago a well . . . Drow woman named Margaret came and she, she said she was here to take me away, and well I shot an arrow directly into her eye but she . . . well she, pulled it out and left" Guinevere was trembling as she said this.
"Gwen, Gwen, you don't have to worry about Margaret she is, well a special person, and an immortal, the story is too long to tell." as Gabriel spoke he hugged Guinevere close "I'm not really sure what she meant by taking you so always be armed ok?"
"Yes" Gabriel sat with Guinevere in his arms and rocked her back and forth until she calmed down form visiting Margaret and started to fall asleep. Laying her down he pulled a blanket over her and went out for his demon hunting rounds.
It's a Monday and it's a raining, Guinevere hated Mondays but the rain was a nice change. She was searching the city for demonic activity but there was none. The day was dull and Guinevere was tired she found a mainly dry alley and sat down her new demon bane kukri in hand she started to doze off.
Guinevere awoke suddenly to the sound of moving feat coming from in front of her, the problem was there was nothing but her in the alley. standing up quickly Guinevere took a fighting stance and drew her bone dagger, "who's there?" there was total silence and Guinevere started to back further into the alley, there was a mumbling that Gwen couldn't understand and the air twelve feet inform of her started to shimmer, an area of bent light about one foot long and three inches thick came flying right at her. She ran but could shake the aberration and it hit her in the back of the head, Gwen fell over face first in the dirt.
"Easer than I thought it would be" the air said as it shimmered and began to form into a tall and lean tiger humanoid. He sported loose fitting robes, a large curved sword on his left hip and a fiddle on back. Two stones orbited his head and an imp sat on his shoulder. "Well I guess its time to be taking this girl back to the school."
"Well we could get a drink and come back for her" The imp on Minico's back said.
"Nope we got a job to do and we have no time for fun, sorry."
"Your right cause you guna have to deal with me demon bitches eat this!" Guinevere screamed as she shot up and slammed her kukri into Minico's left knee. He went down with a yelp and his imp took to the air. Guinevere slammed her foot into Minico's nose to confuse him and before he could react and slammed her knife into his other knee. Tearing it out at a weird angel she leaped black and looked down over Minico. He was clutching he two useless knees to his chest and cursing Guinevere. "well, well, well looks like you failed to catch me you demon fool, now I'm guna kill you and take you left thumb how do you like that?" as she spoke Guinevere she started to move towards Minico's head to slit his throat and the imp slammed into her back spilling her over Minico and falling into the pool of blood at his feat she recovered quickly and looked around for the imp but couldn't see him. Disregarding Minico she reached on her back for her bow but it was gone, panic started to over take Guinevere and she reached for her kukri but that too was gone suddenly out of no wear the imp slammed into Guinevere and knocked her over again. She hit her head hart on the ground and the pain started to awaken her mind. She got up and searched the sky franticly for the imp. And when she couldn't see him she started too moved around quickly. Again with out warning the imp appeared in front of her and he slammed his tail into her shoulder then disappeared again. Guinevere reached down and picked up a piece of wood and backed against the nearest wall, as she waited for the imp to appear again she looked over at Minico and he was still clutching his knees, this time as the imp reappeared she started to swing the piece off wood at it, as it slammed into the imp she screamed and fell to the ground clutching her chest as the imps poison took effect. The pain was so intense she keeled over and threw up. Her body was trembling and she was moaning in pain. The imp landed in fort of Guinevere and started to laugh and point.
"You are one stupid girl, and now I think I'm going to kill you just for fun instead of bring you in." the imp said and started to giggle.
Guinevere struggled through the pain and looked up at the imp, his ugly demon face rain through Guinevere's mind and stated to awaken something deep in her subconscious. She began to shake again and she stated to push her self up.
"So are we trying to fight my enhanced poison because if you are you're going to fail. And die and I will get to eat your flesh." The Imp said mockingly.
Guinevere held herself up on her right hand and slammed her fist with all her weight behind it into the imp. He went flying and Guinevere rolled over and finally gained footing. As she rose she noticed Minico's right knee was healed and his left knee was glowing, as Guinevere started to shrug off the rest of the pain she moved towards Minico to attack him again and disable him when she felt a sharp pain on her left shoulder and she turned her head into the imp and she slammed her hand into the creature and it sprawled onto the ground. Then the pain returned and Guinevere screamed as she slumped down and clutched her stomach as the pain moved over her in waves. This time it was so great all her muscles tightened and her subconscious started to take over. Guinevere let her sanity and mind go and she started to stand up, her hands tightened and half corporeal nails, long and sharp as knifes grew from her finger tips. Her eyes started glowing blood red and she leaped in a primal furry at the imp it took to the air but Guinevere managed to clip his leg tearing to off.
"Don't move!" Minico said in a very stern voice. His hand was clutching a small rod of glass was glowing a sick blue. "I would hate to blow a hole in you stomach but I will."
"Sure you would hate to do demon scum!!" she screamed and leaped at Minico flailing her clawed hands. He loosed his magick lightning bolt right at Guinevere's face. It flew through the air with a sickening crack it hit Guinevere's hands and deflected into the wall. With a final scream she slammed all ten of her claw into his chest. Minico grunted with the force and slammed his fists into Guinevere's chest. She flew off and into the far wall. Minico clutched his hands to his chest and his wounds began to heal. Guinevere stood up and faced Minico.
"You going to like my next trick, trust me" Guinevere said and winked at Minico. Guinevere leaned over and her shirt started to rip. It fell to her feat and a pair of huge shadowy wings emerged from her back. Guinevere took to the sky and lunged right at the imp. Grabbing the scared creature out of the sky, she shredded him and dove for Minico. He raised his hand and leaped into Guinevere's dive yelling his holy smite and attack spell. They met about ten feet above the ground with a sickening crack and Guinevere crumpled in midair and fell to the ground. Minico landed on his feat, turned around, and touched his hand to Guinevere's forehead, her eyes rolled back into her head and her breathing became slowed.
"Oh, thank you Pelor, and Cuthbert, Heironeous, Kord, Wee Jass, and all others that helped me, thank you so much. This little girl took way too much to collect, I better get paid well for this." Minico mumbled to himself.
Pointing his bow at Minico's head "what have you done to my daughter you demon bitch?!"
"Ok look to start I'm not a demon I'm a Rakshasa and I have come to collect her."
"Collect her? Why?"
Sighing Minico turned to face Gabriel "look I know you love your daughter but she is too powerful for you to raise. She will be taken to the school for a psychoanalysis, sanity, strength, and intelligence evaluations, along with magick compatibility, and psionic compatibility. Finally she will be checked for fight skill and style. Any questions?"
"Yes, two, first who decided this and second who is paying you to take my daughter? Bitch." Gabriel snarled.
"now that's tough to say because many people give to the school, um the last donor was Margaret she gave them about 500,000,000 platinum pieces, um helped build a new woman's bath and dorm, and gave us an orb of greater defense to ward demons and such from entering the school. But I guess it's the head master that's playing me to collect your daughter. If it's really that hard you're your simple mind to comprehend then you can come with me and speak with it if you wish."
"What if I don't trust you" Gabriel snarled. "I should kill you right now, put an arrow through your head and relish in my and my daughters freedom."
"Hmmm, true but then you would be nothing but that which you loath entirely." As he spoke he moved his hands towards Gabriel's chest, mumbling under his breath he slammed his palms into Gabriel's chest forcing the man backwards. Then he spoke the last of the magick and two rays of ice blue light shot forth from Minico's hands striking him in the chest and crumpling the man onto the ground. "That was enfeeblement spell you won't be able to get up for a couple of hours I have drained you of your strength. I hope you aren't too mad you can take my calling card if you wish but I am taking your daughter." Minico said. Smiling he put a small crystal next to Gabriel's had and turned to pick up Guinevere, however as he eye's scanned the ally he could not find her. "Shit I've lost the bitch again" Minico said to him self.
"Believe me you haven't lost me yet you fucking demon bitch!" Guinevere screamed from the shadows. Leaping out of the shadows into the air her wings stretched into their full glory and blocked almost light into the ally.
"You think that's going to scare me you cocky fool, you haven't scene half of what I can do."
"So you are as cocky as I thought, you haven't even see me tap my ancestral power well." She snarled and dove down towards Minico's head, he dodged easily and slipped his hand into his side pouch and pulled out a small glass cylinder and a long white feather. "I would hate to have to blast you with more of my magick." He said calmly.
"No you wouldn't you're a demon you would relish in my pain you freak of existence come on blast me."
Minico stood and took aim at Guinevere "come on we have both spent a lot of time fighting and I have to say you had me bested for a while but I would hate to bring you to the brink of death just to collect you."
"O I see how it is" Guinevere said in response, "You're out of power and you want me to give up so you can live, well reality check you started thins and I'm guna rip you to sheds and consume you soul." She giggled and her ethereal claws came out of her hands again, and she stared down Minico.
"you will thank me for this in the future," Minico said he shook his head and the small glass cylinder and feather started to glow and electric blue, suddenly a bolt of lightning shot forth from Minico's hands and struck Guinevere in the chest. The electricity spiraled around her and dissipated with out scratch Guinevere.
"That's the best you could do? Pathetic." She leaped at Minico and slashed, he side stepped again and Guinevere lashed out with her wing sending Minico flying into the wall, he landed with a thump. Minico rolled over and coughed up blood. He pushed him self up.
"That really hurt you little fool, you're making this much more difficult for your self and me.
"Like I care" she snarled and giggled maniacally. Then she waked over to Minico.
"You're getting cocky" he said and through a small glowing pellet of bat guano and sulfur, it hit the far wall and exploded into a torrent of flames, the surrounded Guinevere and rolled of her back like water off a duck.
"Your magic is useless against me you fool; you should have figured that out by now. However your insolence will coast you greatly." She reached down and lifted Minico with abnormal strength, then flung him against the far wall. He rolled over on to his back and clutched his left arm.
"What are you gaining by harming me?" Minico asked through gasps of pain.
"Revenge, for your pathetic attempt to take me away from my father. You are the most foolish man I will relish in your finally death and bathing in your blood." She snarled. Guinevere reached down trusting her non dominant hand into Minico's hand as far as possible. Then she lifted him up into the air and took her free hand and started to scratch at his collar bone and neck.
"You know don't you?" Minico asked.
"What!" Guinevere snapped back.
"Well only. . .ughh, only that you are becoming what you hate." Minico gasped through the excruciating pain of having one of his lungs collapse and the sternum snap under the force of Guinevere's grip.
"I'm not damn it FUCK YOU I'M NOT!!" Guinevere screamed and flung Minico to the other side of the ally. "NO!!!" she screamed and collapsed into a fetal position on the ground "no. . .no. . .no. . .no. . ." she mumbled to her self.
Minico put his hands onto his chest and through gasps of pain he began to heal his wounds. After about ten minuets he stood up and steadied himself against the wall. He slipped his hand into his sleeve and pulled out a small black circle. He shook it once violently and it became larger then he pulled a very long moss green silk sash. Minico replaced the hole to his coat, then he walked over to Guinevere. She had lain down by then and was crying silently to her self.
"Hay Guinevere are you alright?" Minico asked in a soothing voice
". . . Go away" she mumbled.
"Hay Gwen I didn't mean to hurt you so much I was just doing my job."
"What? Making my life worse than Battor." She said sitting up.
"No, no, I was just coming to bring you to the school so you can learn not to fly into that rage again and hone your skills into the perfect agent of good. I had no intent of hurting you or making you so angry." As he spoke he placed his hands on Guinevere's cheeks, looking in her eyes he spoke again. "you have to trust me you are a beautiful young woman and I had no intention of harming you."
"what if I don't believe you?" she asked in a small voice.
"well I would give you this silk to cover you naked breasts then probably knock you out and take you to the school. If you are willing then I'll still give you the silk but you can say good by and we will leave in a few days." He smiled as he spoke and pushed the silk sheet towards Guinevere.
"oh. . ." she snatched the silk from Minico and turned around quickly. She began to wrap try to wrap herself in the silk, but she couldn't seem to complete the task. After a few minuets of trying Minico put his hand on hers and spoke
"want some help?"
"um, well, yha I guess if you don't mind" she responded with a slight stutter.
"I'm guna need you to turn around" Minico said frankly.
"O well in that case I think I can do it my self" she stuttered again.
"Look you don't have to be embarrassed I have already seen you topless let me just help you and expedite the process." He said calmly
"Well, um ok" Guinevere said in a small voice. She turned around slowly covering her self with the silk.
"I need you to hand me the silk."
"Oh sorry" she looked around rapidly.
"Lift your arms" Guinevere did and Minico proceeded to wrap he upper body in the silk cloth. As he did he hid coins and little charms in the folds of the cloth. Finally he cleaned and hid her kukri with nothing but the handle showing a few inches under her right breast.
"The, thank you" she whispered, she leaned forward into Minico and hugged him "thanks for everything". He kissed her on the head and released her from the hug.
"Let's go help your father ok Guinevere?" she nodded in response and they walked to the opening of the ally.
