Chapter 7: Orichalcum wrapped in Copper pt 3
Location: Kingdom of Vale, City of Vale
Place: Nikos estate
Time: Afternoon
The carriage was moving at a subdued pace though the Vale as a slow pace to the place where the Noble lady Pyrrha and her faithful butler and attendant Volkinn were currently residing. Apparently thinking of moving from her home in the regions far from the lands of Remenat . The carriage stopped and out stepped and out of it came a young man, dressed in a suit, his brown hair was slicked backwards and his muscles were teaming with power. Cardin Winchester, a Gold ranked Huntsmen was here to 'try' for the hand of the woman of the house.
According to many in the Cardinal Alliance information network, she was a noble somewhere from the west, far away from the Remnant Region. That was fine by him. It just meant that she didn't know the value and power of the Winchester name. One of the Five Great Houses of Vale. One that had personally served the King of Vale during the Great War. Their claim to fame came at the onset of the battle of the Dragon's tears. But that was history. This was present.
His attends and personal Guild Mates, Dove, Sky, and Russell all wore their Guild ware with their silver plates. Dove knocked on the door and waited only a moment, before a maid answered. She had puppy dog ears on her head. Cardin frowned seeing an animal answer the door.
She bowed. "Greeting. I am Deese. How may I help you sir?" asked Deese.
"I wish an audience with your master animal," said Cardin.
Deese's eyes darkened for a second, but it passed before Cardin could see it. " Very well sir. If you would be so kind as to follow me to her study," said Deese with a bow.
As they went though the house Cardin wasn't all that a impressed with it. Seeing as how the woman was a visiting noble from another region it made a bit of sense that she only traveled with only a few people and little in the way of fancy items. They stopped at a room before Deese opened the door showing her Mistress and a fellow standing behind her at a desk. Cardin instantly knew that the man was a warrior of some skill, but he didn't know how much. Maybe as powerful as a Platinum ranked Adventurer even.
The duo looked up from their paper work.
"Presenting the Earl of Winchester," said Deese.
Cardien glared at Deese. "Cardin is my given name. Meeting with such a beauty I insist that you use it," said the man with what he thought was a charming smile.
Pyrrha ignored this "Hello Earl Winchester. I am Pyrrha Nikos. I hail from the land of Sparta," said Pyrrha standing up and bowing, allowing Cardin to get a good look at her cleavage in her red low cut victoran dress. "This is my head butler and confidant,"
the man bowed. "Greeting gentlemen. I am Volkinn Hamaki," said Volkinn
Pyrrha walked around her desk and took a seat on one of the two tan colored couches. Cardin followed suit and took a seat. Deese came back with tea that she served to both her Mistress and the Noblemen.
"So i'll get right to the point. As the Second Son of the Winchester family and the Cardinal Alliance of Lords we're always looking for new members to join with us in the Alliance. I wanted to get to you, before the others did and extend an offer of not only protection, but 'other' benefits as well,, including my 'personal' services," said Cardin with a smile.
"Lord Winchester. As much as we appreciate it, we are still getting ourselves settled in. If you could see us in a couple of days Earl Winchester," said Volkinn
Cardin frowned hearing this. "I'm not use to getting rejected, but I understand. I'll give you two days," said the earl.
"Oh dear," gaped the red haired woman. "That is so little time for such an impacful and what could be costly decision Earl Winchester!"
The Young Earl frowned. "I'm a busy man Lady Pyrrha. I have to keep court with the other noble family's as well as the Guardian Family, manage a very large hunting party of Silver and Copper Plates, and also command soldiers that work within the confines of the Alliance territory since my Older brother is to busy playing with the animals," said Cardin before he got up and took Pyrrha's hand. "You don't want to make me upset by waiting girl,"
Cardin kissed her hand, before he was lead away by Deese. Once they were gone Pyrrha lost her smile, before she ripped her hand off. Blood dripped to the ground for a few minutes as if Pyrrha didn't even notice it. Within a few moments it was regrown just as Deese returned. Pyrrha throw her the hand as Deese opened her mouth wide and caught it, eating it, bone and all with loud cruches.
"That man in disgusting," said Pyrrha as she flexed her new hand getting a feel for it, before she smashed the hard oak table using just her pinky.
"I agree Lady Pyrrha. Prehaps I can just eat him," said Deese as a more then foot long tongue came out her mouth licking the corner of her lips
"Hold off on your desire to kill such a human Deese. Mistress Rose should be informed of the Winchester Alliance. It could yield some lucrative results if we play our cards correctly," said Volkinn.
"Not yet Master Volkinn," said Pyrrha.
"Lady Pyrrha?" asked Volkinn looking at .
"He said it was one of Several alliances that exist within the kingdom. Scroll," said Pyrrha summoning a scroll before unrolling it. "If such a thing is true then the Kingdom is only united on the surface, just as most governments are. The fact that he heads an Alliance is quite telling in and off itself. Transfer thought,"
The red haired woman tapped her head and pulled out a silver string before placing it on the Scroll The scroll quickly filled out before she rolled it back up. She turned to Deese and handed her the scroll. Deese took the scroll before she bowed. In what could only be described as a burst of static sound, she was gone without a trace.
"Commander Weiss I presume?" asked Volkinn.
"Yes. I have a feeling we're going to need the twins soon," said Pyhrra.
Location: Patch Village
Place: Roads
Time: Midday (one day later)
The Eve's Garden group along with their other party member arrived at the Village. The perimeter of the village, was a large Fence that was easily 8 feet tall. Ruby noted that it wasn't of human construction since the build seemed that it was closer designed for war purposes.
A roar sounded startling them all. They looked to the left of them and saw a white Cerberus that was easily the size of rhino, with red eyes, and a iron collar that acted as a piece of armor coming out of the trees on all fours. Riding atop it was a group of Orcs, three in total with another 10 trailing.
Everyone readied themselves for combat as one of the Goblins dismounted and ran over. She stopped shy of them and thy looked at her in interest. Her skin was dark green and her face was more human in appearance compared to her male counterparts, she was trimm as well even though she stood at 6'7 with wide hips and a large ass to go with her massive G-cup breasts as opposed to the others 7'10", she wore a chain mail bikini top and loincloth, knee high boots, and across her lower back were two sheathed machetes
"Forgive us. I am Chief of the village guard Rogea, appointed by Commander Yin herself," said Rogea.
"Village guard?" asked Trapper. "I didn't know there was such a thing,"
"Before we were summoned by Commander Yin there were only a few trained in the art of combat. Along side Rime here we have brought the guard further strength then it ever would have had," said Rogea petting the large Cerberus.
"We are travelers visiting the village to sell our wares and to contact Lady Autumn," said Trapper.
"Rogea nodded. "Follow me," said Rogea as she yelled something in Orcish making the guards open the gate.
The party followed them into the village. As they did Ruby made note of how they moved behind them. It was pretty interesting. While Rogea was in front of them with Rime, the reset followed at a distance. As if expecting an attack. All of the Orcs were about level 15 with only Rogea being level 20 and Rime being level 23. If anything Jennifer and Petra could end this in a moment, but Ruby wanted to play this out.
"So why are we here?" asked Ruby.
"The Church of Four Seasons is asking for Bell to become the next Maiden," said Trapper with a grimace.
"Is that so. Well she did give herself to the bishops for power," said Nebula in a quite condescending tone.
Trapper gripped his reigns in a white knuckled grip. "You don't know anything girl and I would like it if ye kept your damned mouth shut!" said Trapper
"What is she talking about old man?" asked Petra.
"The Church of Four Seasons has a strange hierarchy. Four leaders, yet one pope. The pope is the only figure to see the Four maidens at any given time. However it is the Arch Bishops who control the sets. Each set has different... ideals," said trapper
"What do you mean?" asked Jennifer.
"Spring is based on the ideal of new life, Autumn is based on the ideal of thanks, Winter is based on the ideal of inner strength. Summer is based on the ideal of Renewal and growth. Those are the overtones of each set. The truth... is just a bit darker," said Actino.
"Spring preaches Motherhood as the only way of life for women. Most men don't follow this path. Winter is where most the churches warriors are. Autumn may be the set of thanks, but they are also the set of coffers. Summer... Summer is based on sexuality. They tend to make sacrifices of young women and use them as tools of sex and power. Even their Maiden is not immune from this Fate. She has a harem of lovers surrounding her at all times," said Trapper gripping his hands in anger.
"Why don't the maidens and pope stop them?" asked Ruby.
"It is embedded in the church. The Pope is often the man who best embodies the ideals of all four, while each maiden is taken to the Set's primary sanctuary and trained in her sets ideals, before she ascends to the position," said Bell looking down.
The group continued on their way to see Summer at the church down the path. As they drew closer to the Church Ruby thoughts went to concept of Religion itself. While she didn't think much of it, her inner most thoughts, the human part of her, wanted to see the entire church burn to the ground.
Location: Castle Rose
place: Weiss's Office
Time: Midday
Raiga pushed open the door to Wiess's office and throw a book on her desk. Weiss looked up from her reports and at her rival. Raiga may have been a bit rough around the edges, but he wasn't so rude or foolish to barge into her office and do as he wanted normally. Something was wrong.
"What is this?" asked Weiss looking at the title of the book.
"We've had many battles Weiss. From fighting with each other and against. We've fought Undead, Heavenly mioins, and other Powerful beings. We even fought in the Blood sands Guild Wars, but NOTHING could prepare me for this darkness. This is something that posses a threat to us," said Raiga.
"Creatures of Grimm?" said Weiss opening the book to the first page.
As long as the Sentient Races could remember there was a darkness that has existed along side them. A threat that is to great to ignore, but only surges from time to time. The Creatures have no name, other then what we give them. The Grimm (as they have been collectively named are powerful, soulless creatures that are bent on the complete annihilation of everything.
Weiss looked up from the book as Raiga removed his armor. "10432... That is how many Grimm I fought when I found a birthing pool. I killed 4532 with just a wooden sword, after that I had to change to a real sword. At 10212 I had to switch to a Platinum sword. It was at that moment I realized that the longer I was at the pool, the stronger they got by feeding on the memories of the defeated. Before I drew Izanami's Wrath I retreated," said Raiga.
"Where is this spawning pool?" asked the commander with a bit of worry in her voice
Between Ft Solis and here. It's a place known as the Black forest," said Raiga.
"Are they an imminent threat to us Raiga.
"If I said No would you believe me? Anything this close to our home is a threat. I will personally deal with it," said Raiga
Weiss thought about it for a second, before shaking her head. "No. You've already become a reconised threat to them. Getthe twins and the insect queen. Also prep a NOVA! If this is war I won't allow them to make a first strike!" Said Weiss standing and walking over to a map.
"i'll start on a Nova right away," said Raiga leaving to the Labs.
