"You wouldn't be laughing if you saw the 200lb bows they use..."
Cannon replied, frowning.
English
-
"I'll take your word for it then." Ulfric told Can with a chuckle. "Now, you best be off. Bella is probably already waiting at the front of the village."
-
Cannon smiled and turned to leave, heading towards the edge of the village.
-
Before he could leave the small cave palace, for a lack of better words, an unfortunately familiar voice stopped him. "Heading out, Canny?" Diana Coldbourne asked Can as she came from behind one of the pillars. Can was right at the door at this point. It was as if Diana was waiting for him to almost leave.
-
He stopped. "Yes, why? Need something?" He asked her, glancing around to see if anyone else was about.
-
She walked closer to him, slowly. "Mmmm. Just wanted to see you off is all. Don't mind it. You are going with Bella, correct?" She asked Can as she continued her slow approach.
-
"Yeah. I was told to help keep her safe." Cannon nodded. In his mind he was running through the possibilities of killing her here and now.
-
"Oh, how good of you! She's a bit eager, that could very well be her...unfortunate downfall." She told Can. She sounded so brutally ominous as she stopped right in front of him. Can noticed she had no weapons on her.
-
He was careful to keep his cloak pilled snugly around him, concealing his knife as his fingers slowly curled around the handle. "She's a good kid."
-
"She is. She really is." Diana agreed with him. "It would be a shame if something bad happened to her, truly. But you'll take care of her well enough, won't you?" She asked Can as she brought the back of her hand up to his cheek and let it fall off his face slowly.
-
He reached up, taking her hand in his to keep her from escaping as he rapidly drew his knife, faster than a human eye could follow, and slashed it at her throat with tremendous force.
-
But suddenly, a tremendous amount of cold seemed to flow into Can's body. As his knife just cut at her throat, to the point where blood flowed from her neck, his arm simply stopped moving as if it had been paralyzed in place. But...it felt like it was frozen. The same went for the rest of his body except his face but he could still feel Diana's other hand pressed against his stomach. She moved Can against the wall easily and he felt his back crash into its stone build. "My, my." She said as she winced from the cut. It hadn't gotten deep at all. "I...I knew you were more then what met my eyes. Haha!" She laughed smoothly as she kept her left hand to his stomach. She raised her right hand up to her cut, and a thin layer of ice seemed to coat the wound and freeze it.
-
He struggled against the ice, his augmented body fighting against it to free him. His body temperature began to rise in response to the ice.
-
"Let me guess...Dojo? Is it? They sent you here to kill me? My, vengeance is rather an unhealthy thing don't you think?" She asked Can. His body seemed to be freezing but there wasn't actually any ice coating him. It just felt like someone injected ice water into his blood stream and it continued to flow and freeze his entire torso and legs.
-
He remained silent, glaring at her as he attempted to move. His augmentations were working overtime to try and counter whatever this was.
-
"Nothing to say then...?" She asked him as her eyebrow raised itself a little. "Too bad. Ah, well. It doesn't matter. You're a man who tried to kill me, wouldn't be the first one nor are you going to be the last...heh. But, I'm a woman who just LOVES games. Any kind, really. This game...? I think I will enjoy it quite a bit." She told Can as she backed away. He felt his body release itself as he fell to the ground. There were no guards around, yet. But he still had no idea what the woman was capable of besides whatever she had done now. "Do you like games, Canny?" She asked him now.
-
He stumbled slightly, regaining his footing. "I don't play with witches. Or homicidal psychos that kill their own family. Bad for my health."

Edited by Inflatablepants: 5/5/2017 9:50:37 PM"Oh! Haha! You're funny, truly! Truly funny!" She told Can with a sarcastic smile. "But, that doesn't really matter. You are playing the game now whether you like it or not." Diana began to pace to the centre of the room, but then turned back to Can. "How about this canny? I won't tell anyone what happened here. Mmmm, I won't indeed. You can continue your mission. Kill me! Try it, it will be entertaining. But now, this wolf will bite back. And when I do...you won't have the chance to lick your own wounds..." Diana threatened Can as her words emphasized the final sentence. "Or, you leave! Go! Quit the game. You'll disappoint me quite a bit though..."
-
He raised an eyebrow. "You're insane." He said, laughing.
-
"Maybe a little." Diana admitted. She looked at Can with squinted eyes. "But life needs to be a little crazy for it to be any fun."
-
"I know crazy. You aren't crazy, you're kriffing sadistic." He growled.
-
"Even better then!" She said with a laugh. "Any who, there is an adorable little girl waiting for you to accompany her on her initiation. You best be going then." Diana told Can as she backed away further from him.
-
Cannon turned to leave, extremely annoyed that she was playing this like a game.
-
He could hear her laughing away to herself as he exited the compound and entered the village. At the end of it, near the cave exit, he saw the familiar black haired girl jumping in excitement ahead.
-
He hurried towards her, not wanting to keep her waiting. "Sorry I'm late." He apologized.
-
"CANNED RICE!" She exclaimed as she hugged his arm. She got in the habit of calling him many different names over the last week. "Are you ready for an...ADVENTURE?!"
