[F17-PP] The black cat, owns the pride (Nemean Lion) - Yui's Grace #3

[Simmone 0]

A soft sway in a regal maroon and gilded yukata, analyzing stalls in a midafternoon sun. There was little here in the way of worth, a common place for NPC's such as these to find anything exquisite enough to pique the woman's interest. But that didn't stop her from looking, no. She was always after that next big score, something amazing to adorn shop shelves and bought at the bottom dollar. A bit of boredom ringed her head, a few hours spent already with nothing to show but soreness at the bottom of her feet.

A soft exhale as she slinks down on the large rimmed fountain, allowing the slit on the dress to reveal more of her thin pale white thighs with a soft exhale. A single player stops and begins to drop jaw, and like a cat with a mouse, she offers him a mischievous smile. The black cat enjoyed toying with him, a trophy that he'd never claim. But he could dream.

Her daily routine was already done as Gaius had gotten the breakfast she feeds him every morning. She had received a message from the Goddess for the Challenge of Olympus quest. She gathers her things and grabs her coffee with a vanilla blend mixture and heads out. She would leave Ko with Boris, she wasn't sure what this quest would bring and she didn't want to take the risk. She knew that Setsuna was right and she would simply listen to the wise girl's words. When she knew that nothing was going to be hunting her in the fields, that would be the time to start working with Ko. Giving Ko and Boris a pet, she heads out to floor 17 for this quest that she randomly got. 

Arriving on floor 17, she instantly hears some whistling. Freya just chuckles a bit and looks around for Simmone. That simple noise, she only heard that when the long black haired female was around. Turning and looking around she sees Simmone. "Well don't you look stunning today, whats the occasion?" She walks to Simmone's side. If she was doing anything today maybe she would just tag along and do the other quest later.

Options for quests were slowly yet surely dwindling off her list. She could hardly remember half of what she'd done as the grind made days grueling. She eyed the easy pickings compared to the lucrative yields. Most if not all of them were a drag, though her hunger for improvement was enough incentive. With the boss fight impending, she had to be vigilant. After a moment of thought, the woman settled with Nemean Lion. Rescuing damsels in distress? A fitting way to start the day. The quest would be brisk with some help from her guild. She fired up a request and made her way to the bazaar.

Quote

From: Haine
To: Firm Anima

Nemean Lion anyone? Floor 17 at the bazaar. Let's make it a quick one!

She ambled down the dusty path in pursuit of something eye catching. Surely enough, a stand with an assortment of trinkets caught her eye. She marveled at an opulent pair of earrings, soft, fuchsia tassels with beads adorning it. "Ooh, I'll grab this." Haine picked up the pair and placed it on the counter. A few swipes later and it was all hers. She curled them into her palm and kept walking to the rendezvous point. She fastened one earring and moved to the other, though a strong gust of wind blew it out of her palm. An exasperated sigh escaped her. She chased it down and dusted it off. Good as new, she fastened it on her other ear.

A brief glance to her right revealed a familiar face. She recognized the lithe, raven haired woman in ornate garb as Simmone, the guild's merchant. 

"Oh! Perfect timing. I didn't look for long-" she noted a blonde haired woman to her left and gasped in recognition. "Freya, was it..?" She chuckled in light of a previous memory. "I couldn't forget ya' after that whole guild fiasco. Sure was something."

A hefty hit atop an anvil, a metallic clank sends a shower of sparks in all directions. The smith was hard at work, forging a new guy's armor in pure silver. Bending and peeling panels and bolting them down on a wood mannequin with rivets as he takes the heated metal from the surface. A sudden ring of his menu causes him to shift, holding the pliers loosely in his left hand. "Hmm. Haine." Griswold mutters, unsure of the name. "I suppose so."

Twisting and anchoring the tool to the wall, he reaches back and grabs his blacksmithing mallet made weapon. A spin of it in his meaty hands, as he moves for his armor atop its own small pile. Beginning to lock them down before adding a bucket style cobalt steel helmet to conceal his face. A short jaunt past Mount Stygian, Vulcan at his side brings a flash of light. A warp gate triggered drops a huge man like a ton of bricks.

"No occasion my dear, just business." Simmone ushers to Freya who just happened to be here as well. A peel of her feet beneath her frame, folding her arms on her knees and planting her head into her hands. "So, what brings you up this far? A Boring day?" A little ring of her menu causes her head to turn, an ivory skin finger shifting it open to read its contents. "Strange, so few frequent these floors." A flash of the gate and there stood the guild's smith as well. "But now it's shaping up to be quite the party. I think I'll enjoy the merriment as well, you coming Freya dear." Simmone chuckles softly as she peels herself up.

"Right the guild meeting." Simmone quipped with a fold of her arms as they begin to bunch up, remembering the raise in temperaments and feelings being all too drastic. "Boy's will be boys." The black cat was eying the girl, a flicker of gold takes her iris as she comes uncomfortably close to Haine's face with her own tilting the girls head with a soft touch. "They look good on you dear, nothing special but how they accent your eyes. A woman has to look good no?" The merchant was of course referring to a pair of newly procured teal beads on her ears.

"Uh yeah, and you were the one trying to talk Kiluia down. Sorta funny how it all worked out." Glancing to Simmone with a smile she says "I was going to do that Challenge of Olympus quest but this seems way more interesting right now. Count me in..." she says as she turns to see her father. "Hey there. Hows the flames treating you?" Giving a welcoming gesture comment at him. After a few moments, she realized that there was a message from the guild chat. Opening her HUD and glancing at Haine. "Yeah sure, let give these cubs a run for their money." She was eager to try out her higher skill on something larger anyway. With a cluster fuck like these lions she was sure to make an impact. "To the raging lions then," she says as she starts walking out the gates. "Uh you mind sending a party invite and quest share Haine? Would save us the trouble." She turns realizing that she didn't have a clue where she was going...

"Yeah. Men, am I right?" the woman added, nonchalantly. The absence of a particular fluffy companion put a slightest drag on her mood. She could hardly drag the cub out of bed, and after a moment of exasperation, she figured it was better not to. A polar bear in this sweltering heat? She'd be lucky if the brat cooperated. Familiars had their free will, it was a pain sometimes.

After a brief greeting, she exchanged a nod with Simmone. A slight blush crept up Haine's cheeks as the raven leaned close, a little close for comfort. The woman's fingertips rested on her chin as she appraised the jewelry. From the proximity, Haine spared a moment to appreciate the woman's beauty. Such long lashes, were they naturally that way? A soft laugh later, to play off her timidity. The corners of her eyes creased as she smiled at the compliment.  "Why thanks! I bought these a few minutes ago. I can't resist a steal when I see one." She pulled away and toyed with one of her tassels.

An encroaching sound of footsteps revealed a frighteningly tall and stocky man. She craned her head up to distinguish the man's features. It took a minute for the pieces to click. The man stuck out like a sore thumb with his appearance and the golem by side. "Afternoon Griswold! You here for the quest?" With the topic of the quest relevant, she nodded to Freya. "Oh, of course! Just a minute, guys." She fiddled with her menu and fired a party invite to three others.

A glance at his youngling who looked to be going along for the ride it dawned on him. Haine was the girl he fought the Leviathan with a while back. "You seem to be doing well, been a while." Griswold chuckled and looked down to Vulcan who also seemed to recognize her. Moving closer to the girl and huffing her in search of ice cream, he was definitely a dog somewhere in there. "Aye, I'll be comin' along." The smith removed his helmet for a bit so that people could see his face at least for a bit. "So lions, any of you done it before?" He asked them all to see if they had. The smith had and was willing to offer what he knew if they needed it but he wasn't much of a talker. "Freya, staying busy I see." and like a father looking at a mother, Griswold pays Simmone a silent nod to her soft smile.

Haine's nervousness was cute, and perhaps malleable. She brushes her hand clean as the girl pulls away, shifting that piercing gaze of hers to the guild's smith. "I will and I haven't. If you have anything you'd like to share with the rest of us it would be....much appreciated." Simmone remarks with a twist of silver on those last few words, paced out specifically to increase her chances. A glance back to Freya with a smile "I guess the party has begun dear." as she slides open her HUD and accepts the twinned messages from Haine, adding herself to the group and accepting the quest. The black cat eyes the girl fiddling with her newly obtained ear rings, confirming all suspicions to her uneasiness. A small squint and a purse of her lips, the woman slid her vision to Griswold. Else perhaps the girl would melt from being looked at directly, may have a thing for ladies.

[Freya 0]

Accepting the invites and glances to her father. "I have been keeping busy and get stronger in the process." Giving him a smile and chuckles a bit at Haine's reaction to Simmone. "I suppose it has. I have not done this quest, but I have read a bit about it, thanks to Raidou's notes." The lions would be strong, but she would prove to her team that she was just as strong. They all start to walk out the gate and through the fields that she would again walk alone after she was done here. After a few moments of walking and glancing at the marker making sure she was going the right way, Freya sees a few lions in the field grazing. She almost felt bad, but she knew that at any given chance of getting close to the pack, they would attack first so it was a given that she would need to do so first before them. Freya removes her scythe with a twirl in her hands, glances back at the group to make sure they were there and ready before she began to charge at the group of lions. 

Black ozzed mist illuminates from her from as she activates her concentration skill. She tears through each lion with an exploding impacted as they roar out in pain. Freya jumps back and waits for the others to react hoping that her father could get their attention before they decide to eat her face.

The strange wolf golem approached her and sniffed. There was something unsettling and endearing about the stone wolf. "Hey there bud!" She was hesitant to pat him for a moment and did so nonetheless. Fingertips scratched ragged rocks and pulled away. She sensed it was searching for something from the tilt of its head. A slight feeling of guilt surfaced. "Aww, I don't have any snacks for ya bud. Next time, yeah?" A moment later and party invites were exchanged. Now an official team, the four of them set forth for the location of the pride. They left the bazaar and traveled out of city bounds, into a vast sandy terrain.

As they moved, the quest marker circled to notify them of the impending objective. Beyond the horizon, a pack of peaceful lionesses curled up together. A feeling of guilt washed over the woman. They looked majestic and in their element. Just pixels, Haine reassured herself. They'd come back again. She rushed in after Freya with a flourish of her glaive.

Through the fields of floor 17, past stones and uneven ground Simmone keeps with the group. "Keep them coming dear." Simmone remarks with a lift of her hand, a snap of her fingers. A single fired helix collects and latches to Freya, producing a tether between them as the black cat links herself to the girls' energy. Pulling her hand back forces the girls bar to become blue. A huge jump soon after, as she peels around and removes a rapier into her left. The cats themselves rush about, finding themselves being destroyed in nothing more than an instant. A dwindling health pool between them all, they were more then almost finished within a blink of an eye. Simmone takes a glance around, showing another section of the pride rushing toward them. "Look's like we better clean up quickly, We've got company." She offers to the group, lowering her outstretched hand.

Vulcan seemed rather sad, a soft grumble as it receives the pats. There was promise of ice cream in his future, and he was a bit of a softie for it. Griswold chuckles at the thing acting so pathetic that he was begging. A short jaunt and a brief flash began combat, Griswold fought with his menu to finally accept the party invite last. His age was showing. Right behind the girls, Griswold was kind of lagging ass in his plate armor. But none the less he makes it up with them, clapping his hammer against his shield and drawing the attentions of all around. They're gazes redirect and he takes note of more on the horizon. "Finish them quickly, best not to let them bunch up." The shield raises and blocks one, another simply succumbs in the journey falling into a tumble. The other well, Griswold used his head.

The lions all miss the shield that Griswold held. Freya charges in and murders one of the annoying creatures and the other one quickly moves from her swipe at the view of the other one dying. It was all sort of comical. The lions were trying there damn hardest to stay alive and for the most part they were managing just that. It was almost annoying that she missed that last one, with that the others would not spawn till they were all dead. "Just hold still and take you fate." It was a bit dark for her to say this but that was what Freya was feeling at this time. She could not help but get angry, she would soon enough get to the point that she wouldn't miss but she now it was how it was. She would thrive for that day that she got strong enough to hold the weapon that would help with that exactly.

In the blink of an eye, the party went head on with the pack of once peaceful lions. Griswold tapped his hammer against his shield, calling the attention of the miniature pride. In a serious of snarls and bared teeth, the pride cats arched their back and prepared for a charge. In what felt like seconds, the party cleaved clean through the field. They stood no chance, perishing mid-roar. It was a little saddening to see, but at least the quest would go on easily. The faster they cleared, the sooner she could rid herself of this heat. She squinted as the bright sun all but blinded her eyes.

Eruda moved for the remaining lionesses, ending all but one who had evaded her blade. Haine stepped in to draw its attention to her. "Here, kitty kitty!" she jested, with a kick of her spear on the tip of her toe. She spun it with a flourish and rounded behind the opponent, driving the blade clean through it. She shot the rest of her party a thumbs up. "Now, ready up!"

Simmone swirled with grace with a smile, enjoying the sheer overpowering of the field. Dodging a single attempt against her in an instant as Haine blew the damn thing away. "Would you look at that, thank you dear." The black cat comments with a bat of an eye lash and a lift of her hand. Snapping her fingers causes a flicker of stars in gilded shine to overtake Haine for a brief moment. "A little pick me up, before the main course?" she eyes the group and gestures with a slight tilt of her dome. There were more on the horizon and they'd hardly even broken a sweat yet. "Show me what you can do now, lets see if your fighting as pretty as those ear rings you bought. I've got you from here, so let loose a little. A girl's got to have fun." she commented coyly with some honey on her words.

Rolling his shoulders and looking down at Vulcan who was all fuzzed up in his own special way, the familiar was raring to go. "Everyone ready for round two? Stomp the big one as quick as possible, the little ones aren't that big of a deal like he is." he spoke from his experience doing this, checking the rest of the group as it looked like this was a walk in the park for them. A clap of his shield for a moment draws the stampeding groups attention further, right before the smith peels his shield close to his frame like a loaded gun. He was just going to meet them head on like a car crash, but he knew damn well he'd be the last to arrive. These girls were way too quick for his tired old butt. Kindling began to storm off his shoulders, as his inner fire began to swell. A power he was still coming to terms with, learned from a gemini but yet to fully discover.

The horizon hits the peak of a small incline. It view comes forth a few more Lionesses who come charging there way toward the group. Then another, a large Lion with a golden silk touched main shining against the sun in the sky. Such thing was beautiful but she knew that it was all just a facade for distraction. If she didn't act first then the team would simply be in danger. There was no room for distraction or hesitation as she charges at the group that gained one more since the last. The first two swings that Freya offers miss as the two lionesses charge past her with something else in mind. The last two though, stuck together as Freya swipes through the air toward the minion and the large creature. A decent chunk of there health was stolen as they roar out in pain upon the exploding impact. No fear, no regrets, means to an end. Everything that she had been told by multiple people rung through her head as she keeps her focus on the ones that she hit.

Hardly a sheen of sweat on her forehead, she was raring to go. A glowing spiral encircled her for a moment, her bar glowing as a portion of her energy returned. She turned to give her thanks though the gaze of the woman intimidated her. She had no clue why. It wasn't of the bad sort, more of the type of intimidation that made her feel shy. Though in battle, she was a different being. She mirrored the woman's words with nod, hands propped on her hips. "And we are going..." she turned around, lest the woman's gaze bring a flush to her face. "To feast!" she finished, with a glow of her glaive.

She set her sights on the leader of the pride, with its large, ostentatious mane. "You're mine." She narrowed her eyes and charged forth, vaulting off the spear and onto the lion's back. The momentum drove the spear through its cranium, red pixels spewing in place of blood. She crushed its head with her sole and pulled her weight back to dislodge the end. Her weight pushed backwards and she fell off the creature's back with a yelp.

Simmone could not help but chuckle to the girls quirky response, and with a rather unorthodox but effective attack none the less both her and Freya had done the deed. The head was waning, its movement's slowing as it was so fixated on Griswold. "Guess that's on you big man, deck it one?" she taps his shoulder as she lifts her right hand almost like a hook. A snap of her fingers renews the bond she'd forged with Freya, pushing some of her own energy into the girl from a distance. It wouldn't be long now, and as Griswold ushered forth and began to pick up speed it would only be a matter of time. The black cat takes a couple steps back, to keep the stampeding enemies in her cone of sight. Sizing up what needed to be done with a tilt of her head and a slight twitch of her eyebrow. "I think this is just about over." she murmurs.
