Thief's Fright

~So there's a city where there's two types of beings who turn to stone opposite of each other? ~

~When we're awake... yes? ~ It shrugged looking at its Leader who seemed to have somewhat composed himself.

********

Able to get a better look at the other's did she notice that there were about thirty beings from children to elderly, they had muscles yet looked skinny with sunken eye sockets.

With a wave of her hand did she summon Mirage Apple x30 that hovered in the air, with a thought she sent them flying one to each person and they all caught either one or two and handed it to someone who didn't get one before munching like squirrels with small bites as if they hid a secret.

The Leader looked nonchalantly over at his people eating, pleased that they didn't show their full mouths In Front of a Being of Light out of respect.

He looked down at the Wumpa in his hand contemplating on if she had known something about him when she tossed this 'healing death fruit' at him. With a new feeling that pulled at his insides did he munch on it while using his large hand to cover the multi-splitting of his mouth.

Ever since he could remember, he could always see past things. If it was hidden in any type of shadows he could see it... The naked glowing Angel had a single split for a mouth and was very plump in both locations. Which caught him off guard when he first saw her, for she didn't look like any other creatures he knew of and as she said before 'Cute'. Only for some reason he was drawn more to her then he was to any female of his own race.

His people saw his reaction and how he only looked at her armored face, did most of the older ones and soldiers knew about his secret eyes and wondered what he saw for him to be bashful.

[Telepathy Detected]

~Things disappeared from our food and supply stash when the white stones appeared. After we got randomly wounded we decided to leave... Yet after we left we had a short period of peace before our food disappeared again. Only when we hid in the trees did nothing get stolen.~ He said while looking directly into Razimarus' eyes.

~So where did they steal from you? Could you show me the location?~ She asked with a plan in mind, ~They can rest here for the day since the sun is going to be coming up soon. ~

~How can you tell? ~

~My Armor is starting to change to its Day Form! ~ She replied holding up a hand which had ungloved itself with faint outlines of the Warlock's spells on the back of her hands with the outer circle fully darkened.

He didn't take his eyes off of hers before he looked at his people to relay what was going on.

~Let's go before I get put to sleep! ~ Turning towards the exit he dashed.

"Coi!" She called as she [Sprint] after him and used [Hover Step] to dash on the air in the general direction he left.

Shadurel landed on her head and became a [Radar] that had marked them as (Friendlies) and (HQ) markers as she followed the (Friend) marker away in an odd pattern before she realized he was traversing the branches and trees with extreme agility that only coats her a single bounce to keep up.

They traveled for twenty minutes before he stopped and she assumed he was on the ground. Dropping down with a [Phoenix Up] that heals allies in the immediate perimeter she hit the ground which launched him off the ground a few feet and started him as he saw her naked flawless body admit the dust. Blushing he turned before she could see and headed towards a clearing,

~This was our recent camp. ~ He said as she barreled past him and started to mess up the ground and placed random items in small groups in random places.

She noticed her armor was almost fully changed she turned to him a said,

~ Point in a random direction that is Not the way we came Quickly! ~

Confused before the Halo of light flickered from her perfect body did he realize he'd soon be stone, did as she said as he drifted into forced sleep.

Now with a helmet with cat ears, a vest that covered half of her breasts from the side that connected in the middle under them, a long skirt with a side slit and toe armor socks it was now Day.

"Master! I don't know what I did wrong but I apologize for it!" Shadurel's voice Sounded as he was now in his humanistic Fairy form and his tail was saying sadly.

" It seems as if you found a secret dungeon before it became a mission! So I'll forgive this transgression of stealing from a settlement. '' She replied on the lookout for anything odd before using a short few inches of [Teleport Roulette] to make herself invisible while putting out the small fire.

While waiting, she kept glancing at him trying to think of a name while appreciating his natural build.

Thinking of multiple names she deduced that she didn't know him well enough for him to earn the names of Gildarts, Cayde-6, John, Arbiter, Lucy, Kakashi, Souei, Gennosuke, or Utusro... Taking his reversed legs into account did one name seem to kinda fit...

His silent abilities like an assassin, his passive yet dangerous aura, his reversed armored legs look like they could kill or K.O someone after doing some damage. Only one name among her knowledge seemed to fit.

Himura Kenshin!

Not wanting to steal his soul from the earthen stories that his author had made, nor knowing if he was also Summoned somewhere else. Decided if she should ask which name he prefers out of the two different words.

Crack Rustle Snap

Pausing the train of thought did she look for the source of sound to see Humans of all things!

But... Something's off...

They were too pale, their builds were very similar to her starving friends, and they had faint pale hoods like the snake king cobra.

There were at least 40 of them fanned out to scrounge around and started to pick up her items like they were theirs in the first place.

One who looked like he was in charge came up to the Statue and did something she never thought she'd hear again!

"Search in the direction he's pointing! They probably made off before the Sinners Froze before the Almighty Light of the Sun!" A deep voice sounded.

But before any could move to his command a female Voice of authority sounded from above them,

" THIEVING BASTARDS!" Razimaru became visible again as she floated down from above with a trail of light following her descent ranging from blue, yellow, green, and red in no particular order.

Many males gasped and bowed as she stopped just where her feet were above the Statues head with her arms crossed with Shadurel on her shoulder in his butler outfit and his inventory screen lit up as he pretended to be recording this event and made sure to exaggerate gestures as he counts and records before looking at the Leader of the hooded beings.

"WHY DO YOU STEAL MY STUFF LIKE IT'S YOUR OWN?" She yelled so all could hear.

Getting courage, did the Hooded Leader speak, "We did not know it was yours!"

"OH PLEASE!" With a dismissive wave of her hand, "RETURN!" All the items gathered had disappeared in forms of balls of light from all their grasps, even the rare food they were trying to gather.

Baffled, he replied again only more humbled, "Envoy of Light! Forgive the foolishness of us mortals! Our Leaders ordered us to retrieve what was ours! "

Faintly smirking she spoke normally yet still loudly, " Ordered you to take what is not yours? So the Humbled Faithful Dare To Steal From An Envoy Of Light?" Sitting comfortably she looked at him accusingly, "My! Your Leaders Must Be Corrupted Enough For Us To Be Dispatched To Find The Corruption Amongst The Faithful!"

Her last remark shocked him as if he'd just been slapped by her!

" Is it not the Sinner that you stand atop who are the corrupted ones?" He asked while pointing beneath her in confusion.

" Ah! So THAT'S THE REASON!" She said as he felt a sigh of relief, "No Wonder The Faithful Have Dwindled And Their Souls Come Home In Confusion And Tears! Y'all Kill The Most Faithful!" She declared accusingly which made every being fall backwards in disbelief and horror.

"We dared not kill the Faithful! Only Sinners!" Multiple men cried out in despair and some broke out in tears, while the Hooded Leader seemed the most internally conflicted.

"I Wonder!" She asked while tilting her head to one side and using that side's hand to prop up her head with a few fingers, "Have Your Leaders Been Listening To Any OUTSIDERS Recently?"

Many heads whipped up to face her at once, you could hear the snap of the break of air.

"I'll Take That As A Yes!" Looking at their conflicted faces she felt a sting in her heart as the [Lost Empress] title flickered above her head which the Hooded Leader saw before it disappeared again.

Bringing out Paopu x70 in a large bag did she hand it to the Hooded Leader,

"Go Back and Tell Your Leader, 'You Spoke With A Sinner In Daylight!' I Guarantee His Demeanor Will Change and He'll Go Berserk! If That happens You are free to join us! Follow the Black Tiger! "

Making a gesture did Yanga appear out of nowhere besides her in mid air, as he stepped on air Dramatically, until his paws reached the dirt and he just scoffed and laid down going to sleep.

Swallowing hard, he took the bag of fruit and bolted back towards the Ruin City with everyone on his heels.

As soon as they were fully gone Shadurel broke out in laughter so hard that he fell to the ground and just rolled gasping for air as he couldn't control himself.

"They Bought That! It Actually Worked! Hahahahaha! Their Faces! Oh my stomach!"

~Do I have to actually wait here for them? ~

" Yes you do! If their so-called Leaders show up, be passive until they get close or speak nonsense! Then kill them and them only!" She ordered as he pouted and went back to sleep.

Few hours went by and Shadurel got himself under control as Yina had come out and started to search the surroundings.

Shadurel paused still like a statue before looking into a different direction as if he was serious about something in the distance.

He noticed a [Ping] on a Ghost Frequency that [Pinged] back.

It was really far away, so he let it be as he got up and decided to stretch and play with his status to find a way to communicate while in his Night Dragon form, one that didn't hurt.

Seeing as everyone made themselves busy, Razimaru went back to listing possible names that had weight to them while still above the Statue who could still faintly hear.

"Sebastian? No he's not a badass butler... I doubt he knows what a butler is anyway. Abe? Well... He does live in the woods and he leads others... Naa cuz he doesn't have a beard or a top hat... Even though it could mean Ancient Beast Eternal... I don't know him well enough to call him Eternal tho. Hagi? He could be a Chevalier considering his abilities so far... Even though he's not a Chiropteran he could pass as a Chevalier! Or his dead brother Riku who doesn't have a storyline but would be just as capable of having the chance though... so I wouldn't be stealing another's soul... That's If... he wants a name tho.. " She pondered as she waited for sundown, unbeknownst to her that something was happening just below her feet.

********

Ever since I woke up I've heard some odd sounds coming from the naked female holding a bow and arrow at him surrounded by three odd creatures.

Gladly she was able to speak telepathically even though I had to poke at her mind for her to respond...

Maybe those sounds are her natural language?

Watching her body move so fluidly as she followed the flying creature made me have to control myself even more than I usually do.

I'm not attracted to females of my species because they would covet being the Leaders Mate and not contribute to the group as I do.

For some reason this small unknown being, who would make sounds and the beasts respond, was more attractive than my own kind.

~His distorted face was cute... W.T.F!!~

Hearing this made me almost pounce on her! Do I want her to hate me? Would that small body be able to bear it? Would the Wrath of Light burn me if I did such a thing without consent? Would she prefer to do so since she admitted she liked me?

I have to hide from her to calm down!

Able to give an excuse I bolted downwards and found another spacious spot after a short but high drop. Looking around I saw another hole in the floor in a different location and decided to go as far down as I could.

Which was another three floors down where the floor was dirt, where I quickly relieved myself as quietly as I could, in case she had high hearing.

Burying the remnants I breathed slowly as to meditate for a short while

Believing I was now able to watch her perfect body without such urges, I headed back up quickly and silently, nimble and quick until I heard the odd sounds again...

She sounded very mad! Slowly getting up from the last hole I watched what was going on before I messed something up.

She's scolding the beasts! Seeing that my kin had returned and they also saw what was going on, I shook my head in a 'no' as they looked to me for help.

She just screamed! How could such a small body be capable of being that loud?!

The flying creature can rush down asif it was scared. I should intervene soon.

Gladly she likes me enough to calm down when I ask.

~So where did they steal from you? Could you show me the location?~ She asked as if in a hurry ~They can rest here for the day since the sun is going to be coming up soon! ~

Telling the others to find a place to rest since there's some rooms downwards I bolt out the entrance with a glow of light above me shortly afterwards.

Grabbing some branches I swing my body into a position for speed as I use my feet to push off every now and then for momentum and grab the few branches to keep myself up until we reach the outskirts of the ground camp we had just recently left.

BOOM

Something hit the ground hard enough for me to be lifted a few feet from the ground while waves of pleasant feelings flooded my aching scarred body.

As the dust settled she looked even more desirable... Turning towards open space did she rush past me and started to make it look like it was recently used.

Unknown items of shiny material appeared out of nowhere every now and then as she tried to hurry.

I feel drowsy…
