Welcome back everyone! I hope it hasn't been too long of a time since I posted chapter eight! Either way this chapter was an idea I had in mind since chapter 1 like I said previously but I didn't have a good enough way to fit it into the larger plot going on until I was writing chapter 8. I also want to make note that this chapter chapter will feature recurring characters who will show up as side characters, main characters, or even rarely antagonists of other future stories this is just to introduce them now so for those who are interested in the greater story I have planned think of this as an introductory cameo for them so you can recognize them in the future! No more yapping from me so let's begin! Because this is going to be a long one just look at it.
Canterlot Streets of the Human world at midnight…
Aria dressed in a hoodie, jeans, and running shoes walks around the empty streets at night alone midnight walks are one of the few things that make her feel better when she's pissed and recently she's been outright furious after what happened several nights ago with Sonata, she doesn't even know why she's so mad or who she's mad at; is it herself for saying stupid shit like that? Is it Adagio for coming up with that idea in the first place? Is it The Rainbooms for dragging Sonata into their friendship circle leaving them behind? She can't tell anymore and just wishes she could stop thinking about it.
"So what's tonight gonna give to me eh? Am I gonna get a visit from death itself this time trying to give me a pep talk about my behavior? Is some strange woman gonna try to get me in bed with her again? Whatever it is, I'm ready for it…" Wonders Aria mumbling to herself how tonight's gonna go as she reflects on what she's seen and had to deal with on these multiple night walks back to back to back. Starting with night one…
Night One: Monstrous Fivesome of Freaky Babes from a Monster Realm… (Slight sexual warning for this one, nothing really explicit like a full on detailed sex scene but some words, phrases, descriptions, and implications so skip this if that stuff makes you uncomfortable I won't judge you for doing so).
Aria walks alone on the dead silent streets in the heart of Canterlot City she should be trying to sleep right about now but she can't sleep when something makes her angry and she just needs to figure out a way to get the anger out without having to punch someone's lights out for the night. She angrily stomps around on her walk until she sees something odd. She sees a woman in the distance run into the alleyway desperately running from something that leaps in after her, she didn't get a good look at either of them but with how quickly they moved she can easily tell they are not normal humans. Then she hers some even more disturbing from the alley she hears the crunching of bone and flesh the ripping and tearing like how she's seen humans do in prehistoric times when they first arrived in this world she hasn't heard that sound in a long time but she can still recognize it even now, she knows whatever is going on in that alley is something she doesn't want any part of but a morbid curiosity takes over her just a single peek and dart won't hurt right? So she carefully creeps forward, staying close to the building's walls near the alley to hide herself before taking a quick peek into the alleyway when she gets there.
What she sees is a sight to remember the first woman who ran into the alley was a incredibly muscular woman toned and very fit but wearing simple otherworldly clothes making it clear she isn't trying to show off her physique to anyone, even more visible than that is how she's some type of beastman as she has dark purple fur all over her body, the facial structure of a wolf and a massive tail like on too as well as a digitigrade foot structure and large bestial eyes that shone a deep mesmerizing purple. While this would be very weird in and of itself what made it truly horrific was that she was being eaten alive while slumped over in the back of the alleyway clearly still fully conscious and in a shit-ton of pain but hiding it very well. As she is being devoured like meat she uses one of her pawed and simultaneously clawed muscular hands to gently pat the head of the woman eating her alive in a strange loving manner.
The other woman looks human but has strange pale blue skin, sharp clawed feet and hands, an unnaturally wide mouth, and seemingly a second mouth on her stomach, and even more strangely her hair reminds her a bit of Adagio just without the color as this woman's hair is a rotten green and she has a much more thick and voluptuous figure. Her clothing is tattered and looks like the clothing a soldier would wear but it is old and barely holding together revealing her gorgeous figure and second mouth which helps devourer the first women alive. She can also hear what sounds like a very aggressive makeout session on the roof nearby but who would do that next to whatever this is beyond her feeble comprehension. The two women speak to each other despite one being eaten alive.
"Ow!~ Hey babe watch the stomach, liver, and intestines I'd rather not have you eating seconds of what I just ate tonight" Whines the first woman not seeming to care about being eaten alive.
"Awwwww but baby those are the best parts to eat! There is just so much of them to eat! Let me have a few bites ok? Please?~ Please~?" Gently begs the second woman crouched over the firsts stomach region.
"Ugh fine but not the whole thing aight? If you promise that I'll give you a chunk of my heart to enjoy, ok baby?" Sighs the first woman clearly unable to resist the pleas from the second woman.
"Yes! Deal!" Squeals the second woman smiling in an inhumanly wide manner.
"I know I know you love eating my heart literally and metaphorical—shit" Mumbles the first woman now realizing they have some unwanted company.
"Hm? Babe? Baby? Something wrong? Please don't tell me I pierced your spine or lungs again! Was I being too rough?" Whines the second woman concerned about the first gently nuzzling her and getting some of the first woman's own blood on her fur.
"Nah that's not the problem, problem is we got some voyeur's watching us tonight look there" Responds the first woman pointing to Aria with her claw.
Aria stands there as the second woman turns her head to face her, her mouth coated in blood, she really wants to run the hell away and not deal with whatever this is but she's frozen in fear and just can't move.
"Your right crap, wait why isn't Sou keeping an eye out like she promised?" Asks the second woman.
"She's too busy giving Haria that world-famous-first-class tongue of hers so no wonder why she isn't doing her job. SOU! GET YOUR FINE PLUMP ASS DOWN HERE WE HAVE SOMEONE PEEPING ON US!" Shouts the first woman.
Seconds later countless thin tendrils slowly descend from the top of the building as the furious kissing stops, Aria finally gaining control over her own body is able to immediately start fighting off the tendrils and try to get the hell out of there as she does so she realizes that these aren't tentacles or tendrils but hair thin and thick and long strands of luscious bright green hair either way when she tries to run gets grabbed by her ankles and pulled up onto the building right to the first and second women when she reaches the top she is face to face with one more strange woman…
"Well hiya there cutie!~ You like peeping on my wives dontcha? I'm not judging by the way I do it too! I mean they are two of the sexiest women you'll ever meet! So what's your name?" Playfully asks the third woman holding Aria upside down using only her tendril-like hair despite her struggling.
The third woman can only be described as an absolute beauty; her perfectly sculpted figure clearly isn't natural as she is too perfect, her endless locks of jade green hair, her long slender but strong limbs, her attractive curvy hips, her gorgeous face, her sparkling dark sour green eyes that give Aria a strange-lustful-even look eyes that she has two pairs of mind you the second pair are noticeably smaller than her main pair, and her ample and large rack. None of this perfection is hidden by her clothing which is just a simple green short skirt, jade green high heels, and a very revealing sky dark green top that shows off her slender stomach.
The third woman sets her down gently rightside up thankfully and the moment she is free Aria instantly gets ready to fight them off because right now she knows this probably can't end well.
"Hey now settle down girl we aren't gonna hurt you, honest, you've caught us at an 'intimate' moment and you probably have a crap-ton of questions so before you run away or throw hands with us why don't you just chill out?" Kindly asks the first woman who is rapidly healing the massive wounds on their stomach and leaping up onto the roof from behind while holding the second woman bridal style before setting her down by her side.
"What are you three?" Mumbles Aria still taking in everything she's seen in the last several seconds.
"Three? You mean five?" Gently asks a fourth woman in a wheelchair coming into view.
The wheelchair itself is clearly handmade by an expert as shown by the fact it looks like its made entirely of SOLID GOLD with centipede symbols and imagery all over it mainly on the wheels, the woman herself is a tall woman with four amputated limbs at the knee/elbow but where her legs and arms would rest are golden mechanical prosthetics that she isn't wearing at the moment, she is a tall woman yet her body is littered with old scars and wounds probably from many battles, her right eye has a large scar on it and is slightly milky white but her left eye is fine and is a bright yellow, her yellowish hair is long in some areas but cut short in others growing unevenly on her head, her clothing is a simple fully covering garb that also once belonged to a seemingly battle hardened soldier but has since moved on with life. Interestingly what is pushing the wheelchair forward is a massive centipede, this massive centipede also has many battle scars carved into it and has a couple mechanical golden replacement limbs, half of its mandible, parts of its antenna and tail, and of course a scar on its left eye unlike the woman in the wheelchair the centipedes left scared eye is also slightly milky white.
"Ok correction, what are all FIVE of you?" Asks Aria again.
"Were monsters duh well it's more complicated than that but to sum it up that's what we are" States the first woman.
"What? You all crawl out of a horror movie or something?" Mocks Aria, her old tendencies getting the best of her.
"You talkin' a lotta shit for a little kid" Responds the first woman, her tone showing how she's not going to let her comments slide, her posture and tone of voice reminds her of-well her.
"Kid? Pffffft! I'm probably older than all of you combined!" Retorts Aria.
After saying that however she is quickly pushed to the ground on her back not by the first woman but the third who gives her a sultry lustfilled stare while pinning her arms down.
"Ohh~ I like older women!~ What's your name cutie?~" Asks the third woman who, despite not looking like it, is inhumanly strong, easily able to press her chest against Aria and hold her down regardless of her struggling.
"If anyone's gonna introduce themselves it you guys, I mean you're the ones eating each other alive on the street" Retorts Aria staring into the third woman's lust filled eyes.
"No one made you watch us kid, we adults gotta get intimate too you know" Responds the first woman.
"I don't think letting someone eat your organs classifies as 'intimate'" Retorts Aria, still struggling against the third woman's hold.
"Well when one of your wives is a ghoul things are different" Responds the first woman.
"Either way we should introduce ourselves! I am Gosia!" States the second woman now known as Gosia.
"We really doing this? Ugh fine, I'm Usia" Says the first woman now known as Uisa.
"Oh me?~ I'm Sou cutie you'll know my name real well soon!~" Giggles the third woman now identified as Sou who seductively whispers it into Aria's right ear pressing her large rack against Aria's body.
"I am Haria and beside me is sweet dear Gillian" Says the fourth woman now identified as Haria who then identifies the massive centipede as Gillian.
"So~ you wanna tell us your name now cutie!~ I'd love to hear it!" Whispers Sou pressing her ample figure against her even more.
"Aria Blaze now—" Says Aria who was about to say something after that but gets cut off by Sou.
"Aria Blaze! Now that's a very sexy name! It fits your attitude so well cutie! A personality that burns like a raging fire ready to burn even further is absolutely my type~" Giggles Sou her gaze on Aria only getting stronger.
"Thanks?... Now can you get off me?" Demands Aria slowly becoming uncomfortable with Sou.
"Awwwwww~ Come on, no need to be shy about it! You know you like my touch and my body! You don't need to pretend to dislike it just because my wives are here, they don't mind!" Responds Sou who seductively plants a kiss on Aria's lips leaving behind a mark of sour green lipstick on Aria's lips.
"I mean we don't mind, but Sou I think she does mind I mean look at her Sou, she's clearly uncomfortable with you coming onto her so strongly!" Says Gosia, hands crossed under her chest.
"Oh she won't mind for much longer I'm sure! I know how to give a girl a good time after all~ it won't take me long before she's begging for me not to stop!~ Just sit still baby let Sou take care of you~!" Seductively whispers Sou into Aria's ear before kissing her several times all over her neck.
As she kisses Aria's neck repeatedly her hair begins to grow and extend like tentacles which quickly yet very easily and effortlessly creep and slither their way under Aria's jacket, undershirt, and jeans poking and prodding and teasing her most sensitive and most private spots she even uses some of her hair to hold down her arms and legs which are somehow even stronger than her hands freeing said hands to explore Aria's body as she wishes and she kisses her very aggressively on her lips over and over again.
"Feelin' good yet my fiery girl? Am I stoking your flames just right? Adding some amazing fuel to that smexy fire you got burning inside? Oh don't give me that look! You know you love this~ you don't think I can't feel you squirming and writhing and cooing and moaning with smoking hot pleasure underneath me? You might not admit you like this but your body does!" Lustfully giggles Sou licking her lips.
"Sou, please let her go, she's not just uncomfortable she didn't even give consent for this you need to actually have her permission before you pounce on them like that, we've talked about this" Sweetly begs Haria whose sweet voice makes Sou raise up to look at her..
Uisa walks up behind Sou and using her sheer strength forces Sou off of Aria lifting her onto her shoulder and Gillian helps Aria still slightly hazy from Sou doing that to her back to her feet.
"Sorry about Sou, she doesn't mean any harm to you, it's just when she finds someone real pretty she can't help herself and gets a bit aggressive, let's say. And we always have to literally pry her off somebody she's trying to give a good time and gets so focused she won't take no or stop for an answer, again we're sorry" Apologies Gosia.
"Aw come on she was close! Let me finish her girls! It's rude to deny a girl her climax, you know?" Pouts Sou in a way that reminds Aria of Sonata-a-very physically grown up, seductive, more physically and sexually forward, and adult Sonata but similar to Sonata nonetheless and this similarity makes her even more uncomfortable with Sou coming onto her like that.
"No babe if she gave permission she'd have said so but she clearly didn't ask for it" Responds Usia holding Sou over her shoulder despite Sou struggling to get out.
"Sou, I think it's fair that you apologize to miss Aria here that was very uncalled for of you to do to her" Sweetly says Haria wheeling closer to Aria alongside Gillian who is the one pushing her wheel chair.
"Ok… I'm sorry I mean it, it's just your so beautiful! I couldn't help myself! I won't do it again unless you want me to homunculi's promise!" Apologizes Sou who is clearly genuine about her apology as Uisa sets her down next to her.
Aria takes three understandable steps back from Sou just in case.
"First off yeah I'm not going to just let that slide like at all, second 'homunculi'? Does that mean you also aren't human?" Responds Aria who is understandably not just going to act like that didn't happen.
"Hehe! Yup! I'm a homunculus! Just look at my second pair of eyes! My blood is also unique and I'm a lot stronger than I look and of course my hair!" States Sou manipulating her hair like tendrils wrapping them around each other and even forming shapes and making them sharp like blades or hard like steel or rock or make them look and feel silky smooth to show off her incredible control over her hair.
"Before you ask why she was created we have no idea and she's not too interested in telling us why, who, or even where she was made we just assume she was made for labor and 'labor' of the sensual kind which would explain why she's neigh insatiable let us tell you" Explains Gosia who has some stories Aria will live better not hearing.
"Ok so she's not human, you're not human, and you're certainly not human cause all I need to tell is look at you, then what about her?" Asks Aria pointing at Haria.
"I am an elf so no I am not technically human either" Explains Haria Gillian by her side.
"Well what about you kid? You don't look human, I mean last I checked humans don't have purple hair and skin" Snarks Uisa.
"Human? Me? Nah I'm a siren if you'd believe that" Responds Aria looking up at Uisa.
"...You sure kid? I mean sirens usually live around and in water and are part fish and are arguably much hotter than you are while this is uh well a city so you're certainly far away from home" Remarks Uisa a bit surprised to hear that explanation.
"It's a long story" Simply responds Aria.
"Ohhh! Tell us! Tell us! Please fiery girl?! I love stories, come on tell us!" Excitedly begs Sou bouncing up and down via her hair.
"Oh I gotta hear this go on spill the beans girl. If you tell us, we'll tell you our stories. Deal?" Asks Gosia who has quite the gruesome past to tell.
"Rgh fine not like I have much else to do; me and two other sirens Adagio Dazzle and Sonata Dusk were from another world not this one and look a lot different back there, Adagio had the bright idea to cause trouble in some place called Equestria, it went horrible and we got sent here thousands of years ago and we've been trying to get back ever since-or at least we were until our only magic got broken now we've basically just given up…" Explains Aria sighing heavily by the end of her explanation.
"Oh well damn that sucks but at least you're alive" Says Uisa.
"Yeesh that's actually kinda sad to hear I mean you did 'cause trouble' so it's kinda on you three but you get my point" States Gosia who can tell that Aria and her fellows were probably deserving of their punishment but still feels a bit bad.
"Oh my" Whispers Haria, Gillian chattering her mandibles together.
"Awwwwwwwwwwwww… That's a big bummer!" Whines Sou her suddenly massive amount of hair hitting the ground as her posture changes dramatically.
"I mean we were trying to take over the world. So what about all of you? What weird backstories do you all have?" Asks Aria mumbling the first half of her sentence.
"Allow me to go first! I was born to a peasant family in my birth kingdom Aleina, I was born for reasons even I don't know now with a curse marked by the symbol of the centipede on my chest parts of my body are even like them in touch and appearance, I could even control and summon them forth at will with sweet Gillian here being my bonded centipede allowing us to share a deep magical connection. I was always ashamed of my curse but when I was of age I joined the Knights of Aleina to fight against our generations long enemy Palentia hoping I could do something good for my people or die trying, die I did not however and instead I became a hero next to the likes of Roxie and Laios themselves.
Despite this fame as a hero of legend I had no friends or loved ones as my family had died during an attack so I spent all my time training and practicing until I was allowed to lead my own armies and win battle after battle in war and even created my own group of war mages the Centipede Sorcerers teaching them in using my own cursed birth magic. I kept fighting no matter how many scars or wounds me and Gillian gained we took them all with pride that is until a particularly brutal battle ending in mutual retreat where we found ourselves dying laying their on the blood soaked battlefield out troops having long since retreated at our orders, this battlefield is where Sou, Uisa, and Gosia had found me and taken me in and back to our home Neikai-Sho to care for me and Gillian-who in a panic chewed off my limbs and as a result of our connection some of her own to hope it would keep me alive which it did. When I awoke I wanted to go back to keep fighting and give my people hope by then I came to realize why do I need to keep fighting? We've done our part in this battle, it is time to rest and enjoy the rest of our lives and soon I'd find love in these three and marry them" Gently explains Haria tearing up a little at the end.
Sou, Gosia, and Uisa plus Gillian move over to Haria and gently nuzzle and/or kiss her cheeks to try and get her to not cry. Aria sits there not knowing exactly what to say in response…
"Heya babe don't cry I hate seeing you cry" Utters Uisa lovingly who clearly isn't good at comforting people her wives included.
"Shhhhhhhhh baby baby baby! Don't cry baby it's alright we know you're happy to be with us but you don't have to cry!" Soothes Gosia placing her hands on Haria's cheeks.
"Oh hun it's ok you can let it all out I don't mind!" Lovingly voices Sou nuzzling her face.
Gillian chitters and chatters as she nuzzles her-also shedding a tear or two (how exactly a giant centipede can cry is beyond Aria's understanding).
"That's kinda sweet to comfort her like that" Admittedly whispers Aria who for a second is shocked that she would even say that as she tries to never show her softer side.
"I-I apologize for suddenly crying like that, it's just sniff that my story makes me rather emotional nowadays" Apologetically says Haria as Sou uses some of her hair to wipe her tears.
"Its uhhh its alright Sonata gets like that sometimes, so uhh whose next I guess?" Responds Aria who would deny calling her words "being nice" if asked as she refuses to be that way.
"Guess you do care 'bout them eh kid? Here I was thinking you had a heart of stone!" Teases Uisa.
"I tolerate them." Remarks Aria.
"You say that but I can tell you care a lot about them!" Giggles Sou who has a surprisingly good ability to read people.
"Sure whatever you say" Mumbles Aria rolling her eyes.
"Guess I'll tell my story next then; In a previous life I used to be a warlord in Ios one of the kingdoms in the world we come from he was said to be an amazing leader rallied his men into battle personally fought for all he believed and all that stuff, the typical Iosian ideal type of person; problem was he knew he was going to die someday and not wanted to allow his accomplishments to die he cast a spell that could transcend reincarnation and would affect whoever his reincarnation would be with four specific things. One: they could regenerate neigh instantaneously from basically every wound, two: they would have the perfect physical physique that no matter how much they skipped working out or didn't take care of themselve their physique would always remain incredibly muscular. Three: They'd have a incredible memory and strategic capabilities which would make them perfect for a warlord or strategist, and four: they'd have an uncontrollable urge to seek out a relic he left hidden behind that should they find it will give them all their past memories of his back which would be lost in reincarnation.
His reincarnation was well obviously me, his plan was pretty damn clever effectively creating the perfect successor who could keep his achievements alive forever; problem was he didn't expect his reincarnation to have a strong will of her own and a hatred of Iosian ideals and culture because the concept of existing and doing things just for a title to be remembered is such bullshit to me I hated it so when I finally got that stupid relic of his and got those memories back he couldn't convince me to do a damn thing afterwards memories and promises of glory be damned to someone who just wants a live a normal life. So after getting the relic I just wandered around for a few years until I got offered the chance to go to Neikai-Sho where I met Sou and Gosia and just decided this was where I belonged I still have that relic and even copies of mt previous incarnations armor if your wondering I just never use them and honestly I just keep them to spite him because I'm living the exact life most Ios idealists like him would hate I've got no title or fame nor do I want any I live a quiet life with my loved ones instead of fighting in pointless war or something and stuff like that" Explains Uisa getting angry during some parts of her backstory mainly the parts where her previous incarnation is mentioned or tried to force her down a path she'd never want.
Gosia hooks her arm around one of Uisa's arms and pulls herself in to smooch her cheek to get her to calm down, Sou and even Haira (although the later has Uisa bend over to smooch her) following afterwards.
"So, you literally defied the fate someone tried to lay out for you?" Sums up Aria.
"Basically yeah, take it as a lesson kid you don't need to go on the path others try to set out for you, you may be a siren yourself but that doesn't mean you have to be bad and bring trouble to everyone you can easily just live a happy quiet life with those you care about" Responds Uisa smiling just a little from all the kisses she just got.
"I guess that makes sense…" Says Aria.
"Ooh ooh! Can I go next? My stories really short!" Asks Sou hopping up and down full of energy.
Gosia, Haria, Uisa and even Gillian just chuckle at Sou's antics and nod letting her go next.
"Ok so as you already all know Imma homunculus created far away by some people who and where doesn't really matter so I could do labor both physical and sexual mind you! At first I was just like any other of my fellows soulless and emotionless just doing as told whenever ordered to, that was until I gained a soul suddenly and was able to do whatever I wanted and no one could stop me! So I left my home and started walking all over the world looking for pleasure and fun of all kinds. I even found my first tasting thing-sour foods! That's when I named myself Sou because it's sour without the r! I went everywhere having all the pleasure and fun I could when I got an invitation to Neikai-Sho and just had to experience this mysterious place that most thought was just some hoax from a crazy old woman for myself! Best! Decision! EVER! I got to see so many cool new things and it's where I met Gosia and found her little shop where I live today!" Gleefully explains Sou whose story is certainly the shortest of them all so far.
Sou after finishing immediately goes to Gosia and kisses her on the lips very aggressively. Using her hair to pull Gosia in.
"Hehe!~ That's for being so sweet and letting me stay with you back then! And just generally being a mega sexy woman who I just can't resist~" Giggles Sou looking at Gosia's slightly flustered face.
"So we have two defiers of fate on our hands?" Snarks Aria looking at both Sou and Uisa.
"Yup!" Says Uisa and Sou at the same time.
"So I guess that leaves just you then?" Asks Aria turning to Gosia.
"Well then I'll gladly begin: when I was still alive I used to be a proud faithful dogmatic soldier of Palentia doing everything I could for my nation including being a soldier in active combat and other missions. One mission underground to build a tunnel through a mountain went very wrong however and me and multiple others were trapped in and only lived so long because of out food rationing but after we ran out of food we had no choice but to eat each other so after trying to hold out without for for as long as we could we gave in an ate each other and at some point we all knew death was inevitable but held out pointless hope that Palentia's Search and Rescue Teams would find us. Funnily enough they did but I had died moments before they could get to us, out of sheer hatred and malice for dying seconds before we could be saved a part of my soul split off and took possession of my corpse turning me into the luxurious ghoul you see before you, I had planned on just joining Palentia as a ghoul to keep fighting but then came across a ex-Palentia soldier named Josiah who told me the truths as he called them that Palentia hid from everyone after that I abandoned my old nation and decided to wander the world and find something to exist for that's when the offer to go to Neikai-Sho fell right into my lap and I just had to take it. I would then dabble in Transformation Magic hence why I have a second mouth and a much wider than normal one up here, find a nice little town outside of Uitous and made myself a little shot/nightclub for my fellow ex-Palentians and other ex-soldiers of course!" Explains Gosia who is rather detached from her past and doesn't have a major emotional reaction but still accepts a smooch from Sou either way.
"So you're basically a zombie?" Questions Aria staring at Gosia but seeing no signs of bodily decay.
"Zombie? No, no, no sweetheart! We ghouls are slightly different from our zombie cousins as we crave flesh to satisfy our hunger and keep our bodies from decaying for longer, zombies don't crave flesh but rot and decay much quicker, but we are made from the same way as soul or in my case a piece of a soul refuses to die and reincarnate and possess its dead body and reanimates it! So there is a difference" Responds Gosia.
"Well that also explains why you were eating her alive in an alleyway" Remarks Aria.
Gosia gently goes over to Uisa and romantically nuzzles her which would be sickeningly sweet to Aria if the latter hadn't been cannibalizing the former a couple of minutes ago.
"Hey, she has my consent! It hurts like hell but it makes her happy and she enjoys it so who's going to complain?" Responds Uisa.
"Whoever has to walk in on it, that's who" Snarks Aria in retaliation.
"Then they should mind they damn business next time and let a girl and one of her wives get busy in peace" Growls Uisa only getting calmed down by a kiss from Gosia.
"I mean you were doing it in an alleyway that's just asking to get caught" States Aria.
"Ok fair point there I should have tried to control myself better sorry love…" Apologizes Gosia.
"Shhhhhhhh baby baby baby you don't need to apologize some people just won't get it not your fault you're hungry" Sweetly soothes Uisa patting her wife's head.
"What happened to the other chunk of your soul you mentioned by the way?" Curiously asks Aria.
"Oh that? Well normally when a soul has contradicting diaries and splits both halves will yearn to join together again and will go look for each other, but I'm an exception because the hate and malice that reanimated me has basically become its own soul with its own will separate from the rest of it that by now has certainly reincarnated probably into another loyalist and dogmatic Palentia soldier" Explains Gosia snickering at the most likely reincarnation of the other long sense separated chunk of her once connected soul.
"Uhuh, you all keep mentioning this 'Neikai-Sho' place or whatever and getting there is it like some continent separated from everyone else for something?" Asks Aria who normally would try and get out of this conversation as quickly as possible mostly to keep Sou away from her but realizes this will be a long conversation so she might as well learn something new.
"Continent? Oh no dear! Neikai-Sho is a realm in and of itself where time and space flow differently than the rest of the world or any other world like this one and was created using the most powerful magical spells, the only way to get there is to know the Void Gate spell required to open a gate into the realm or know someone who can use the spell or have special items that can open the gate necessary!" Explains Haria gently smiling at Aria.
"I guess that would certainly keep people out who shouldn't be there" Says Aria.
"Indeed it does! I think you would enjoy a visit there. Perhaps we can take you and those two other sirens you spoke of with us on a little trip hmm?" Wonders Gosia.
"Oh yes that would be fun! I so wanna meet those other two sires! If they're just as hot as you fiery girl I might just have to pounce on them!" Squeals Sou already thinking of flirting with someone new.
"With all of your first impressions I think I'll pass for now" Responds Aria as Sou's expression saddens.
"Awwwwwww but let us know if you change your mind ok? Oh I should totally give you one of these! Before we go!" Suddenly shouts Sou pulling out a small necklace made of jet black string with a jet black gemstone with strange carvings on it from who knows where and hands it to Aria happily.
Aria inspects the necklace intently.
"What is this little thing?" Asks Aria confused.
"Oh its a special gemstone that'll allow you to open a gate to Neikai-Sho especially to wherever we are at the moment! It makes meeting up a bit easier considering Neikai-Sho is its own realm and has different laws for time-space working there" Explains Sou glad Aria took the necklace.
"Uhhhhhh… Thanks I guess?" Says Aria.
"It has been quite nice speaking to you, Miss Aria even if this started out rather rocky between us we hope you enjoyed it" Says Haria.
"It's been uhhhh something" Responds Aria.
"Maye you've learned something from this conversation, like don't judge people based on what they look like, we may be monsters but we aren't evil after all. Or don't let what others try to get you to do with your life control you, you may be a siren kid but that doesn't mean you gotta be evil and bring ruin and hate all life or whatever just because it was one of your friends ideas you get one life no matter how long it'll last so do what you want with it" Says Uisa.
"Not what I would take from this conversation but ok" Mumbles Aria.
"I agree with Haria it has been nice but we should probably get going now we've kept you long enough now deary! And I'm sure those two other sirens you know are getting worried sick by now" Says Gosia.
"Not really, not like we get along much anyway" Mumbles Aria.
"Awwwww really? That's sad, why don't you three get along if you've been together for so long?" Asks Sou curious.
"One's an egomaniac and the others a total ditz" Sourly responds Aria.
"Sounds like two lovely women I know…" Teases Uisa looking at Sou and Gosia.
"Why thank you— Hey!" Says Gosia before realizing what Uisa is saying.
"Oh come now if you three don't get along why have you three stuck together so long?" Asks Haria.
"I've got literally no other sirens or anyone else I can at least tolerate in this world and work with" States Aria.
"Then you should try and understand them instead of getting angry at them for who they are because they aren't like you" Responds Haria.
"I wish it was that easy" Mumbles Aria.
"Understanding people is never easy, you know. You think I got along with Sou and Gosia instantly? Haha no! It me years to get used to them and who they are because I had been a lone wanderer for so long. I wasn't used to being around others for long periods but wanna know what I did? I tried to actually get to know them kid, it was difficult but by the Night Queen it was worth it. You remind me of well me ya know? I used to be constantly negative and hateful like you are but when I met Sou and Gosia then later Haria they made me so happy when I got to know them, you should do that with those two girls before it's too late and you never get the chance" Explains Uisa.
"She's right, you know! You should think about it seriously!" Adds on Sou.
"If you say so…" Grumbles Aria taking their advice for granted as she rolls her eyes a little.
"Hey kid if you wanna live miserably for the rest of your life go ahead I'm just trying to give you some advice to make the people you live with more enjoyable to be around" Snarks Uisa.
"We're just trying to help you deary" Says Gosia.
"Did I ask for help? I'm not a little kid" Grumbles Aria.
"We know but it's clear you could use some help, we may not be the best people to help you but we can try. But now we should go. I'm sure you should probably go home and go get some sleep" Gently says Haira.
Using what is clearly a magic Aria doesn't fully understand they open a strange pitch black gate behind them and they all start to leave first Uisa and Gosia then Haria and Gillian and finally Sou but before she leaves with the rest of her loves she runs up kisses Aria's check seductively while purposely bending over to show off her large bust and gorgeous figure.
"If you ever feel a little lonely or want some 'company' or just need to release some steam or change your mind, use that cute little necklace ok fiery girl?" Seductively whispers Sou into Aria's ear before using her hair to pick up Aria and places her back down on the ground in the alleyway where this weird night started so she doesn't have to climb down.
Aria just takes a quick seat in the alleyway contemplating what the hell just happened tonight while looking at her new necklace which she's probably going to just hide in one of her draws and forget about it and hope no one especially Sonata or Adagio won't find it.
"What a weird fuckin' night… Let's just go home and forget about it." Mumbles Aria standing up and going on a walk back home after tonight her night stroll having been thoroughly ruined by that weird fivesome…
Night 2: The Broken Trio.
Aria walks around the next night trying to clear her mind from what happened last night near the same area.
"Anything weird for me tonight? Or is tonight gonna be normal for me?" Wonders Aria hands her her jacket pockets as she walks around.
Her question would swiftly be answered when she passes an alleyway and sees a duo one an older woman wearing ragged clothing that used to be once very refined and luxurious but has since fallen into deep disrepair, in one hand a large and clearly very expensive beer bottle and stabbed into the ground in her other hand a strange short blade made from ruby that has strange silver strings attached to the blade with another identical blade resting in a sheath at her hip, her hair is a dirty and filthy red-ish color with beads and other knit-knacks of various colors and her eyes are a dirty brown and look like she's lost all hope and joy in life and her once luxurious shoes are barely holding together. She takes a huge gulp of her bottle not caring that Aria is looking at her.
The second person is a man wearing just as dirty rags and falling apart black shoes with filthy uneven brown hair and soulless yellow eyes. He sits there next to the woman but is not drinking but clearly not doing any better mentally with a flute made of lapis by his side. He slowly raises his head to look at Aria.
"Hey… lass you lookin' for something? If it's money sorry we ain't got any" Mumbles the man.
"No just at you two, you both look like shit" Remarks Aria.
"Hic… we've seen a lot ok kid?" Responds the drunk woman.
"Like what?" Asks Aria.
"You ever lost someone you cared about?" Asks the man standing up to show that he's much taller than her.
"No, not like I have anyone I care that much about anyway other than myself…" Responds Aria.
"Pffffft! Everyone has someone or thing they care about and we lost ours, be glad yours is still alive or themselves" Says the drunk woman chugging her beer.
"What does 'or themselves' mean?" Questions Aria looking confused at the two.
The man points up and right behind her and when Aria does look at where he's pointing a massive creature lands with a thud right behind her. The quadrupedal, genderless creature is tall yet incredibly thin covered in strange hyena-like fur. Its entire body is a weird mix between human and a massive hyena but elongated unnaturally and it pulses with a strange energy that feels contradictory? In a way Aria can't really explain but this energy seeps into the surrounding area where it landed, and something strange on its back a massive weapon fit for its size the weapon itself is a strange mix between a guitar and a great spear that has several spiked ends side by side with another pair above the last until it reaches the multi-spiked tipped and each tip has a guitar string attached to it. The creature stands up on its abnormally long hind limbs clearly attempting to look like a human but its towering size and bestial hunched posture show its clearly not one even if you only saw its silhouette.
"That's all that's left of her, at least on the outside" Says the drunk woman swinging her bottle around.
"What is that?" Questions Aria staring in understandable fear of the towering creature.
"'That' is a 'she' and her name is Henea…" Says the man.
The creature now known as Henea stomps over towards Aria one foot at a time even as Aria backs away-only for her to bump into the wall in the alleyway and standing next to the woman and the man. Henea stands in from of all three of them mumbling strange incomprehensible words to them, it stretches one of its clawed forelimbs and snatches away the drunk womans bottle right out of her hand putting the lid on it and… stuffing the bottle into its body where the body through means Aria doesn't understand vanishes into a void within Henea's body.
"Hic! Hey I was still hic gonna d-drink that! Give hic-hicc it back Henea!" Grumbles the drunk woman reaching out towards Henea drunkenly as Henea mumbles again.
"Come on Henea let her drink this once today's been a bust…" Says the man putting the now sad drunk woman on her shoulder trying to make her feel better.
Henea speaks and shakes her head, refusing to cave in to their demands for reasons that make Aria curious.
"Bad timing but… mind me asking what happened to her?" Asks Aria calming down a little and standing cross-armed looking at this trio.
"Henea sacrificed herself to stop the summoning of an incredibly powerful Paradox Beast. She might not be dead and is in that body in an endless void in some sleep we don't understand and everytime we get close to reaching her and getting her out of there something comes up and she pulls us out to deal with it" Explains the man sighing heavily.
"Before you asks hic if there's a cure we've tried to find one not even the doc can cure whatever she's done to herself, and no one else knows enough about Paradox Beasts to figure out what's going on with her either…hic" Adds on the drunk woman slamming her fist against a nearby wall in drunken anger which instead of damaging her hand heavily damages the piece of the wall she hit making bits of it fall off and land on the floor like solid malformed marbles.
Henea stomps over to the drunk woman and stretches her hand to gently pat her head trying to calm her down a little.
"Damnit Henea, why'd you go and do something stupid like that? We could've fought it off I'm sure!" Cries the drunk woman now being cradled by Henea.
Aria just stands there watching this poor woman losing it mentally after drinking waaaaaaaaay too much, the man stands up and walks towards Henea and is also cradled before turning back to Aria.
"You see it now? You don't realize something means a lot to you until you lose it." States the man.
"I guess I see it" Mumbles Aria in response looking up at the man.
"Say you have any family or friends?" Asks the man.
"Not really, I live with Sonata and Adagio but not like I consider them friends and we're certainly not family" Responds Aria knowing where this lecture will go.
"You can call them not friends or family as much as you want but if they died right now and you had an argument as your last ever conversation with them before that how'd you feel?" Asks the man petting Henea's head like she's a child.
Aria thinks back to how her relationship with Sonata and how poorly that's been going and how she'd feel if something horrible happened to Sonata just now and she never got another chance to speak to her again. She says to herself that it wouldn't matter to her or affect her at all but no matter how much Sonata or even Adagio make her angry she had stuck with them all these years when she could have left whenever she wanted to especially after their only magic was broken effectively having ruined their only goal. No matter how much she claims she doesn't care, she does care about them both a little.
"See? If you truly didn't care about their lives you wouldn't know them nor take so much time to respond to my question" Says the man.
"Hic I used to be like ya in some way, I always knew I cared about hicccc Henea but never knew how much anything happening to her would actually affect me" Says the drunk woman staring down at Aria.
"I can hic tell that your relationship with those two isn't hic doing so hot right now, go fix that before its too late missy you never know when something might happen to them it'll be better on you mentally to at least fix that in a good way then never get that chance…" States the drunk woman.
"If you don't you'll be just like us but even more alone" Adds the man.
Henea speaks in a pleading tone to Aria but she has no idea what she's trying to tell her.
"Translation please?" Asks Aria looking at the drunk woman and the man.
"She says; 'please listen to them, even if you don't want to accept what they tell you just try it, don't let your negative emotions ruin something positive a anger filled soul like you has, you get one chance in life you should enjoy it with those closest to you while they and yourself are still able to do so'." Translates the man.
Aria sits there not knowing what to say exactly while she could respond with her typical snarky comment but the genuine pleading in Henea's voice when she said it (even if Aria had no idea what she was saying) and how deep down she does care for her two fellow sirens no matter how much they upset her or how poor their relationship is makes her stop in her tracks.
"Hopefully you won't end up like we did missy" Says the man.
"Hic! Go on home now miss you have a lot of bridges to mend we gotta get a move on too back home…" Says the drunk woman.
Henea speaks to the man and the drunk woman which they respond to with a nod, Henea then says something to Aria one more time.
"She hic says; 'goodbye small one, please take their advice they mean well'!" Shouts the drunk woman able to understand and translate Henea's strange speech even better than the man.
"Bye I guess" Responds Aria.
And with that Henea collapses in on itself like she's being sucked into something and along with the man and the drunk woman vanishes into nothingness and Aria doubts she'll ever see them again but does think of their warning and pity them a little as she walks on home…
Night 3: Unique Animals of Other Planets.
Aria sighs to herself as she walks down the sidewalk of this same street for the third time in a row thinking about the advice given to her from the previous night.
"At this rate I don't think I'll ever have another normal night again…" Chuckles Aria who thinks she's seen it all at this point but oh how wrong she was…
Then she hears the sound of an animal, something like a racoon or a bear foraging through nearby trash cans, at first she assumes it is just a bear or racoon that entered the city and is looking for food in the trash cans of restaurants. That is until she sees what it actually foraging in the trash, a semi-truck sized spider with a flaming red exoskeleton, eight long thing but flexible legs that have sharp spikes all over them for self defence, massive pedipalps (appendages near the mouths of arachnids meant to handle prey, mate in some species, and sensing) that look less the ones of a normal spider and more claw-like similar to forelimb reptile claws with four large sharp claws on each one and are double jointed, its head is (from what Aria can see) very normal basic spider mouthparts, eyes and all, its most noticeable feature however is its gigantic abdomen which has some sort of mouth made from its exoskeleton in the shape of a large horned wyvern which move about as if it is alive its jaws bouncing around as the spider forages, she can even see small eye-like structures and similar things to nostrils on the abdomen exactly where they would be on the real deal which makes her wonder if they are functional or simply apart of this things weird mimicry. Either way Aria wants zero part in whatever this spider is trying to do so she slowly sneaks around it which works quite well as it is so focused on finding food it ignores her completely.
"That was way too easy, what's the catch?" Questions Aria knowing that there is no way it was that easy to sneak around the massive spider, and she is right as it wasn't when she comes face to face with another massive beast this one a titanic reptile with a incredibly long tail with a curved hook on the end, a large and powerful chest and forelimbs that have what is obviously tucked in wing webbing like that of a bats but less thin and much tougher and stronger looking, it has a long next with a face similar to a monitor lizard with added small horns that are clearly still growing making it obvious this is a juvenile but more aerodynamic as a whole as to fly easier, small horns and sky blue scale coloring and most noticeable small curved hook stubs instead of back legs. The creature towers over her and some of the smaller buildings nearby but unlike the spider behind her it takes notice of her and does not like her as it lets out a loud and very powerful roar before striking at her with a bite which she barely escapes it charges at her using its forelimbs to slither along the ground slightly but instead of catching her it catches the attention of the spider creature which while noticeably smaller than the flying reptile is still willing to put up a fight over food, the spider turns its abdomen and positions its pedipalps to face the reptile and using a mechanism within it Aria doesn't fully understand let's out a powerful roar in a form of even more advanced mimicry.
Aria quickly hides in an alleyway knowing best to not get in the way of this fight. The spider leaps over the reptile and onto a building still facing the reptile with its abdomen before quickly leaping off the building and using its abdomen mouth to clamp onto the reptiles neck, causing the reptile to freak out and flail around and attempt to shake it off but it holds on for sometime until it knocks the spider into a building sending it crashing back down onto the ground where the reptile bites one of its legs and violently shakes it smashing it into several buildings before throwing it across the road and into a man's car which crushes the car instantly luckily no one was inside at the moment so no one is majorly harmed but Aria can see some minor injuries on its exoskeleton however so it's obviously not invincible. The spider quickly gets up and faces the reptile with their abdomen opening the fake mouth revealing their real abdomen inside the mouth, it then has to leap out of the way of a bite from the reptile landing on the side of a nearby buildings then it dodges another bite landing on another building on the other side of the road making the reptile crush up a chunk of concrete which it quickly spits out onto the ground near Aria then another and another bite several more times before landing on a building above the reptile now looking up at the spider which finally gets to fight back again after dodging for it's life from the reptiles rampage. It fights back by releasing a massive flame-breathe at the reptile that puts a flamethrower to shame leaving the reptile with major burn marks making it shriek in agony before climbing onto a nearby tall building and fanning out its wings before leaping off to take flight with help from a strange wind it begins to generate to keep it aloft without needing to flap so much and waste energy, the reptile roars and hisses loudly at the spider who responds with mimicked roars of what Aria assumes are wyverns from wherever the hell it's from via the mouth on its abdomen before firing fireballs that on closer inspection are actual webs in the shape of balls lit ablaze at the now flying reptile which it easily dodges and readies it's hooked tail tip before gliding closer to the spider quickly which the spider easily dodges by leaping onto a building beside Aria and it takes a brief moment to stare down and look at her with its many small eyes before losing interest in her and facing the reptile which is gliding at it again.
The spider takes a strange pose standing on the tips of its already lanky legs and begins to spin around spewing flames in all directions forcing Aria to move to somewhere safer lest she get hit by a stray flame and burned, the reptile unable to get through to the spider without dying in the flames instead flaps its massive wings which make up most of its body sending forth a powerful gust of wind forcing the flames aside for a brief moment and even knocking the spider off balance making it stumble backwards as it tries to balance itself but gets no chance as the reptile stabs it piercing it's tough exoskeleton even if only barely via the hook it's tail possess raising the spider up to its mouth and biting it, wildly thrashing it around multiple times before the spider uses its clawed pedipalps to rake at the reptiles nack and spew flames directly into its face leaving it with a massive burn mark on its face. It drops the spider letting it hit the ground leaving a dent in the building's roof as it falls on its back spewing flames from its real mouth instead of the abdomen to keep the reptile away while it quickly gets back on its many legs to continue fighting. Now facing the reptile who is mid-air with it's real face it spews lines of flaming webbing at the reptile who using its mastery over the skies flies out of the way to the right and simultaneously tucking in it's wings as it does so to make it a slightly smaller target, the reptile readies it's hooked tail and attempts to pierce the spider with it from behind but a blast of fire from the abdomen mouth leaves its hook permanently scorched not useless but in large amounts of pain forcing it to switch strategies it flies higher into the sky where the spider can't reach and via beats of its wings and flicks of its tail it launches incredibly strong wind blasts at the spider and anything unlucky enough to be hit, the spider freaks out and in a panic begins to make a break for literally anywhere other than here which Aria agrees with running away from both of them as fast as she can getting a personal view of the damage the blast of wind can really do when one hits a truck and tears it apart even creating a mini tornado to ruin it even further throwing chunks and pieces everywhere with a tire missing Aira's face by a few inches and crashing into a shops window.
"I NEED to get the HELL out of here!" Mentally screams a now panicking Aria looking behind her to see if the creatures are following which thankfully they aren't. As she runs away she can see the reptile coming back closer to the ground and looking around to see if it can spot the spider but failing only for said spider to turn its abdomen mouth back to the reptile its pedipalps facing the same way as the abdomen thanks to their comical amount of joints it's claws at the ready. It leaps at the reptile's neck biting with its abdomen mouth and clawing with its pedipalps relentlessly.
The last thing Aria sees of these two monstrous beasts is them falling into a sudden portal together as they continue struggling and she desperately hopes she'll never have to see either of them again. Now out of breathe she sluggish drags herself slowly forwards towards her home not wanting to be out if they show back up or something even more destructive than them, she stops by the massive river in the city letting her know she's almost home when she sees something odd; dolphins or at least she assumes their dolphins as after today they could be fire breathing dolphins from the same place that spider and reptile came from, however unlike most times a pod of dolphins have shown up in the massive river (usually for food) they are clearly running from something-something massive at that! She can't make it out and honestly she doesn't know if she wants to see whatever the hell is chasing them into the river after today but she's sure as hell it isn't anything normal as to her admittedly very little knowledge dolphins don't have predators that size. The beast chasing them leaps out of the water for a brief second but it gives Aira all the confirmation she needs…
While she may be no marine-biologist as a siren she knows the typical fish body plan and can recognize it pretty well. This aquatic beast is massive not as tall as the spider or reptile but pretty close, it's body is covered in smooth scales and is colored a deep dark blue and is very long and lanky and thin having a large and very long dorsal fin and its body is perfectly adapted for swimming and diving in the deep waters, its legs are kinda small and very reduced with her at first assuming they were fins but they aren't instead on detailed observation being clearly very webbed with its front limbs seemingly capable of surprising dexterity and all four limbs have sharp and pitch black fish hook-like claws on them but most certainly still able to crawl on land albeit very awkwardly, its comically long tail is also very fish like having a massive and very powerful sideways caudal fin, it's head is one of its scarier features as its eyes are very small black dots on its face it has two fin-like appendages where its ears should be (although Aria assumes these appendages are its ears and are meant for underwater hearing) it has large gills on the sides of its neck which should be impossible considering it's obviously a reptile, a large fin on the top of its head that is current retracted to be planted on the have backwards, it has a anglerfish lure which is odd as to her knowledge most typical anglerfish are females but not like she can tell its exact sex from here so it might be female, and its teeth oh god its teeth, it's teeth are thin and long curving backwards into the mouth in what must be at least three rows each with six in total, every row is at a slightly different angle then the last making them able to easily latch onto fish and never let them go. It's obviously the perfect aquatic hunter but to Aria it seems too perfect, like it isn't natural unlike the spider and reptile from earlier and it was made by some mad scientist creating life and playing God but instead of creating the ultimate abomination it instead worked like a charm and created whatever the hell she's staring at right now…
"What the…" Mutters Aria staring in part confusion, part fear, and part 'I just want to go home' as the beast dives back into the river to continue chasing the pod of dolphins trying to pointlessly get away from this perfect predator. She can even hear the creature making odd sounds like clicking and chirping. She hopes it's not communicating with more other beats like it but it might be that or it's just chirping for fun. The pod of dolphins swim for their lives up the river but the aquatic beast with its long and slender body is much more adopted for speedy swimming then even they are and is quickly catching up to one of them a straggler near the back of the pod and despite the dolphin's best attempts to swim faster the aquatic beast is already to close and it can't delay the inevitable any longer, the aquatic beast opens it's massive maw and bites down dragging the dolphin slowly into its mouth as the dolphin struggles for its life as the aquatic beast begins to swallow it whole and very much alive.
The dolphin thrashes its tail in the mouth of the aquatic beast eventually wiggling free for a moment and despite many needle-sized holes in it's lower tail it swims quickly away trying to put as much distance between its predator and itself as possible, the aquatic beast shakes its head and rapidly begins swimming again towards its prey but instead of trying to just swallow it whole again it swims in front of the dolphin and grips it tightly using its clawed forelimbs to hold onto it and using its surprisingly powerful jaws bites down its many thin teeth piercing the dolphin to hold it still for a moment as it begins to swallow it the teeth preventing the dolphin from escaping entirely as well as it being eaten head first instead of tail first. Even though death is unstoppable the dolphin desperately struggles and writhes to at least try and survive and for what must have been to it several long and painful minutes the aquatic beast finally finishes swallowing the dolphin its tail fluke vanishing into its mouth never to be seen again, the aquatic beast looks around for a moment having lost the rest of the pod and it would go try to find them but then it spots Aria on the land nearby and simply… vanishes; it doesn't go deeper into the large river's water; it just disappears into it.
"I must be imagining things then…" Mumbles Aria walking away and back home-until she sees in the corner of her eye the slight movement of water which quickly becomes a geyser of water shooting upwards as the aquatic beast surfaces becoming visible again and landing on well the land right next to her landing with a hefty THUD. The aquatic beast stares at her Aria hoping she can outrun it on land if it tries to eat her but thankfully it doesn't as instead it chirps happily nuzzling her playfully multiple times and even starts hopping around near her like a happy puppy wanting to play.
"Hey?" Worriedly says Aria to the aquatic beast which seems to be able to fully understand her despite not having proper ears for land use, it nods and slowly begins to move around her using its large clawed limbs to move in and odd slithering and crawling combination of locomotion methods chirping and cooing at her as it does so its maw is closed even if not fully (which due to its large amounts of teeth she doubts it can even fully do that). Aria coming to see it won't hurt decides to for some strange reason pet the creature which is an offer it instantly accepts and coos softly at receiving from her.
The aquatic beast now even happier leaps decently high into the air excitedly repeatedly which is reminding her a bit of Sonata when she gets excited about something she likes. It nuzzles her again and starts trying to play with her pulling her along with its forelimbs to bring her closer to the water before letting her go once she's close enough and it dives in and starts doing tricks it learned, first it repeatedly dives and leaps out of the water only to land with large splashes like it did when Aria first spotted it but this time clearly for fun instead of during a hunt, then it pokes half its body above the water and used its forelimbs to powerfully drum on the water like the powerful and intimidating sounds of war drums in times of old which she hasn't heard in some time, next it stays fully submerged before vanishing again only to playfully spray a weak jet of water from its mouth at her while still fully submerged before popking just its visible again head out of the river and making a chirping-almost laughing sound, finally it roars into existence a massive rising vortex of water that it quickly dives into and up leaping from one side of the vortex to another spinning and trawling for fun as it does so before ending it's show with a incredibly high leap into the air dissipating the vortex sending droplets of water everywhere nearby as it lands with a huge splash back into the river.
"That was kinda impressive I can't lie" States Aria giving a casually round of appease to the aquatic beasts playful glee, it crawls back on land in that same strange movement pattern as before nuzzling her again and clearly demanding to be pet again which she gives for several minutes until a strange portal of sorts opens behind the aquatic beast.
"Aquarius It's time to come home! Embress is getting worried about you now!" Gently calls an older man from the other side of the portal like he's calling his very own son back home for his boy's favorite dinner and she assumes this older man is the aquatic beats creator. The aquatic beast looks at her and nuzzles her goodbye before diving into the portal and the portal closes once it's fully inside.
"This might be the weirdest night out of all of them…" Mutters Aria walking away back home after tonight's events.
Night 4: Sweet Dreams, Aria.
Aria having thought back to the things she's seen and learned over these four nights as she walks the nearly dead streets wondering to herself if it was just happenstance she saw these things and that this could have happened to anyone and she's just lucky or if it was intentional but she quickly throws out the latter assumption and comes to the conclusion that the former one is most likely.
"Another night, another weird event, come one show me I'm ready, nothing can catch me off guard now…" States Aria already getting used to this nightly weirdness.
Just then she sees something in the distance on the same side of the street she's currently walking on, its a bedframe but not just any bedframe its on closer observation Bedman's bedframe as shown by Bedman who is clearly lying in it as always but she doesn't see any of its robotic parts or features for some reason which is odd.
"Guess your my weirdness for tonight huh? At least you're somewhat familiar, so what's the worst you can do?" Slightly mocks Aria walking forward unafraid mostly unafraid anyway.
She would quickly come to regret her mocking when the bedframe comes to life; its signature robotic and flexible arms and spiked wheels and legs and a head appearing from under the bed in a reality defying manner as they should have been visible underneath the bed but simply weren't. Now in combat mode even from a distance Aria can tell Bedman now towers over her easily and the spikes on the hand wheels retract so three fingers for each hand can pop up and she swears to herself she can see or at least feel his infamous cocky grin of superiority he loves doing and even from over here which is pretty far away from him still. She doesn;t even get a chance to physical react other then move back in shock slightly as Bedman rapidly teleports several times towards her before its massive robotic hands raise up around her body and using powers Aria doesn't understand or even know he had she begins to fall asleep very suddenly and in a fair assumption assumes he's causing it but can't do much as she's so exhausted and sleepy she passes out on the cold hard floor with the last words she hears being from what she only assumes someone like him sounds like:
"Beginning Interrogation Logs 2: Aria Blaze. Interrogation commencing now." Rapidly states Bedman coldly as his voice echoing in her head as she enters his Nightmare Theater for what she hopes is her first and last time being there...
And I think that's all for now folks! This chapter was certainly a long one but that just leaves you all with more to read and enjoy as I work on the next chapter! This chapter was actually going to be even longer and have 6 nights instead of one with Bedman's night being night 6 but changed it when I didn't want to use so much of my ideas for one chapter so I shortened i fort to two chapters then it became five nights with Bedman again as night five but I quickly got rid of that as night four's character was too majorly to the overall plot I gave him a slighter less to ruin it, finally I shortened it down to 4 nights which is the version your reading right now! Original idea aside I'll see you all my lovely readers in the next chapter which I'll start working on once I go take a nap because I could 100% use one!
