Vieraslayer
This is the chapter where the Reena are finally in the Wood, and Viera are starting to get attacked. They blame Alvyne until Carraka allows herself to be seen.
Reena Strike!
Taji and the Reena were creeping around the Wood unseen. Taji knew how to get in undetected. The only three Viera they had been near were Rush, Rael, and Kjrs, and those three were so focused on each other they didn't even look up and see Taji drooling and touching herself nearby. Carraka had to drag her away from them before they noticed her.
"I don't understand why my mother wanted to take over that village. Two of those Viera who were humping each other are from my mother's village. Both the females. I don't know the male, but his scent isn't like ours. At least, what I could pick up from him that wasn't mixed with that abominable Rael or that stupid Kjrs' scents." Taji explained.
"Viera are vile. That is why we will eliminate them all!" Carraka growled.
"I'm not a Viera, remember? I'm a Dalmascan Bunny-Hume, we clear? That's the name my mother came up for people like me. Born and raised in Rabanastre. Unlike that stupid lousy Ktjn or her bitch of a sister. Ktjn's half-Hume daughter isn't even worthy, even though she was city-born. Tjla acts more like a purebred Viera every day!"
"I like you, pure Viera or not." Atlas said.
"I told you, don't call me a Viera! I'm not a true Viera! I've NEVER been a true Viera! At least all those other City-Viera were born here in the Wood! I never heard her voice! I don't talk to trees!"
"Tajianda, I love you. You know that."
"I know Atlas. I'll always be your cuddle-bunny." Taji reached her hands down the big Reena male's pants and rubbed his member gently.
"You can wait for that! NOT NOW!" Carraka barked.
"Jeez Bitchy, I will. Just chill. It's not like I was gonna start humping him, I'm just touching that nice big Reena cock of his. Gods, I can't wait until this mission is done."
"My name is Carraka, Viera slut! I can disobey your Hume-sired brats and kill you if I want to! Remember that!"
"Hey, Bitchy is hardly an insult to you. You are a female canine, so you literally are a bitch. And it's Dalmascan Bunny-Hume, NOT VIERA! And you need me to break Jote's wards. And my kids are wonderful. Poor Darvy. He slept with a lot of Viera, but I think I'm the only one he got pregnant."
"Can I at least touch my soft bunny?" Atlas whimpered.
"Not until she breaks that Reena-slaying monster's wards! And remember, Tajianda, whether he enjoys putting his thing in you or not, Atlas is MY mate!"
Mjrn was trying to figure out how to tell Jote that she was going to have a kitten. So much was happening in the Wood that Mjrn didn't want to worry her sister, but she could not keep it secret for much longer anyhow. She'd start showing fairly soon. The young Viera couldn't wait until her baby started kicking. It would be a few more months. Mjrn hoped she had a girl. She liked the idea of a little version of herself she could hold in her arms. She didn't care if her baby looked like Janzyn too. Janson looked more like his father, even though he was a rava like his mother. Janzyn was a veena, like Marl.
Mjrn was with Janzyn. Hjen's renovations were finally done, and Mjrn and the boys were enjoying it. Pheytah was watching the Fighting Channel, Janzyn was trying to get the remote so he could watch some movie that supposedly had a hot Viera actress as one of the leads, and Hjen was waiting for the mail. He was supposed to get his restraining order soon, and Jote said she'd have Moogles send it to him ASAP.
"C'mon Pheytah! You get to watch the Fighting Channel all the time! I had to spend a few months with my lesbian sister and her even worse girlfriend! You wouldn't believe what they want with me!"
"Chea just wants to have a baby. Is that so wrong Jan-Jan? The two of us are having a baby, and Hjen and Kjta will have a kitten around the same time!"
"It's way wrong. Chea chose to be lesbian, so she shouldn't get to have kids."
"Jan, I never know you were like that! That's so mean! Your sister and Chea love each other! Love is the most wonderful thing there is! I don't know why most Viera do not feel it. I mean, we love our families, but not our mates. We just mate to have children. No feelings attached. I don't know why it's different for us, Jan. We're in love. I'm not after your 'good bloodlines' like Mom looked for in males. It's love. And it confuses me. Don't hate your sister. Love probably confuses her too." Mjrn explained. Janzyn began rubbing her middle.
"Our kit will be so cute." Janzyn whispered.
"It would be a good idea if you at least thought of helping Chea. It would be the kindest thing you could possibly do for your sister. She'd owe you."
"I had to go with Kjta. Jote promised me a restraining order if I sired a kit with Kjta." Hjen hissed.
"Mjrn, what are you telling Jan? Now he's gonna be even stupider, complainin' about why he has to sleep with Chea and whatnot. Chea sometimes helps me slay entites, she's a good person, and fairly strong too. And she ain't one of them tomboys. She acts like any normal Viera woman. No different from Mjrn-chan here." Pheytah said.
"You comparing my woman to a lesbian, Pheytah? I'll cast Level 5 Death on you, and since you're about Level 100…"
"I'm Level 101, Janzyn. Your Blue Magick is futile!"
"No you aren't Pheytah! It clearly says you're Level 100 here on your character sheet!" Said Hjen, holding up a D&D-esque sheet of paper with all kinds of info on Pheytah.
"Give me that!" Pheytah said as he took it out of Hjen's hands and then erased the zero and replaced it with a one.
"There you go, Level 101. Level 5 Death is useless."
"Makes logical sense to me!"
"Good Wood Hjen, what Kjta ever saw in you I'll never know!" Janzyn said.
"It must run in the family. Mjrn is going to have some stupid little babies." Pheytah remarked.
"Don't be mean to me or my unborn, Mr. Pheytah." Mjrn said.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way. Janzyn and his cousin here drive me nuts. I'm sorry I said that about your child… and any future kids you have with my ol' buddy Lord Janzyn of Tarva Village, Certified Viera Blue Mage who promised me an Enemy Skills Materia so I'd never have to have him use his Blue Magick to help me and I'd never have to see him again and STILL hasn't held up his end of the bargain."
"Look Pheytah, there aren't very many Enemy Skills Materia in the whole world! I'll find one for you someday! I promise! In the meantime, why don't you convince my friend Chea that the blood of a heavyweight champion is better than mine so she… OWWW! LET GO! THAT HURTS! NO FAIR! WAAAAAHHHH!!! MJRN! PHEYTAH IS BEING MEAN AND PULLING MY HAIR OUT! TELL HIM THAT'S CHILDISH!"
"PHEYTAH! DON'T PULL HIS HAIR! SQUEEZE HIS ARMS OFF! THAT HURTS WORSE! WAIT, DON'T PUNISH HIM! I WILL! PREPARE FOR THE MOST UNPLEASANT PILLOW FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE, LORD JANZYN!" Mjrn yelled excitedly. She began whacking Janzyn with a pillowcase full of Pheytah's weights. Pheytah ended up with a handful of Janzyn's brown-dyed hair and Janzyn was knocked out by his own mate.
Ktjn was happy, at least. Tomaj was very kind to her and Tjla. Tjla didn't notice anything wrong, despite being in a strange place. Her Viera senses weren't as sharp as her mother's, since she wasn't a pureblood, but they were still sharp. She was the same as always, and she was generally the happiest little kit around.
Ktjn loved Tjla so much. She liked taking care of children, and even though Tjla was a (pleasant) little surprise in Ktjn's life, she could not love the kitten more. She had not expected to get pregnant her first time, but that was what happened, and she couldn't remember how she got by without an adorable little kit of her very own to love.
There were never any other little kits for Tjla to play with. There were half-Viera kits in Rabanastre, but most were fairly big. Too big to want to play with a baby like Tjla. Ktjn wanted somebody to play with her little Tjla, even though the best chance for that was for Ktjn to take matters into her own hands and have another child with Tomaj. That would take a while, but it would make Ktjn even happier. Then she'd be doubly blessed! Too bad Tomaj didn't want her to even think about having another child until they were back in Rabanastre and it was fall. Ktjn wouldn't mind using medicinal means to throw herself into heat any time of year, but Tomaj told her there was no way she was doing that. There wasn't a high chance of multiple kits. Humes had worked that out years ago.
There wasn't much room in the apartment the three lived in. two bedrooms, but not much else. And Tjla hardly ever slept in her room. She had figured out how to climb out of her crib at night and every morning Ktjn would find her precious two-year-old daughter curled up next to her and Tomaj. They didn't mind. After all, they loved Tjla, and climbing was in the nature of Viera and Humes alike.
Ktjn's biggest concern about Tjla was that the girl couldn't really speak. Even most pure Viera started talking at her age. Tjla knew a few words, and she rarely ever spoke. Ktjn and Tomaj were the only ones she'd talk to the rare occasions when she did try to speak, which was normal. Ktjn herself was fairly shy.
"C'mon Tjla, I know I should be glad you're speaking to me right now, but don't call me Ktjn. That's what grown-ups get to call me. You call me Mommy, okay?" Ktjn said to her daughter. Tjla would call her mother by her first name, but she understood the concept of "Daddy" for Tomaj.
"Ktjn!" Tjla called out happily and hugged her mother. She would do this all the time. Ktjn sighed. Oh well, Tjla would get it someday. At least she was talking.
Back in Rabanastre, Krjn's wound had started healing a little. She knew she'd have to go through rehab for a while before she could hunt again and that was only after her wound had totally healed. She was going to have a new battle scar, and couldn't let it slow her down. Viera normally took a while to heal. Their long lifespan had its downsides. Of course, her cute and cuddly little friends the Moogles lived even longer. Montblanc and his brother Nono had been around since before the Clan Wars, many centuries ago. Krjn had a suspicion that Moogles were immortal.
Krjn wanted to move around so badly. Being confined to a bed made her miserable. She was an active Viera and needed to move. Montblanc couldn't understand how she felt, considering he'd never been hurt so badly. His continued presence was comforting though. Krjn had never felt so alone. Her body still ached with every breath. At least her heart was probably not going to stop again. The doctors had told her she'd probably be just fine. It was best this kind of injury healed naturally at this point. Why hadn't the Curajas cast by her clan mates worked? At least Ktjn had been around to give blood. Krjn had lost a lot of blood, and had Ktjn not been around, she probably wouldn't have made it. She had had a lot of close calls in the past month.
"I didn't know I owe my baby sister so much." Krjn told Montblanc.
"Kupo, not only did she give you some of her blood, but she helped me perform CPR on you the first time your heart stopped." Montblanc replied.
"I am glad she and Tjla are safe. It would kill me to have something happen to Ktjn. She is still so young. She was just a little child when I left, and I was already full grown when I left. She's only eighty-three, which isn't too old for a pure Viera. I became a wood-warder to protect my little sister."
"You are a very brave Viera, kupo. And a very lucky one too, kupo. Most Viera hurt like you would've died already. Kupo, you are strong. You survived the attack, and I saw that you also inflicted some damage on your assailant as well, kupo!"
"Yeah, well I didn't kill him, and that is a problem. That was a big male Reena-Kaana. I never thought I'd see one again. The Viera wiped them out, or so we thought. Poor Sjra. She just got engaged to Max too. And I escaped. If I know Reena-Kaana, they don't let that go. That's not the last I've seen of that dog. And next time we meet, I'm gonna kill him. I only used myself as a meat shield so he wouldn't kill Ktjn. That blow would've been an instant kill if it hit her. I will be playing for keeps next time. Fighting, not defending. And I am a warrior."
"Kupo. Krjn, that big Reena is a Rank VII Mark. You'll pulverize him, kupo!"
"Yeah. I just need to endure this rehab. It's not going to be easy. This wound of mine hurts."
"Just be careful, kupo. I don't want to see you get killed."
"I know when to flee from a battle. Do not worry about me."
A young Viera wandered into the Wood. Her first child was about to be born, and she was alone. She knew there was danger, but she was a wood-warder herself. She didn't hear the Reenas sneak up on her. She didn't know something was wrong until the Reena were on top of her and Taji was laughing like a lunatic.
The Reena waited until the Viera delivered her kit, and then they ate them both. Taji enjoyed watching, considering her immense hatred for her own race.
