[i]As smoke and flame poured into the skies of the morning dawn, a solitary traveler appeared upon the pathway thar lead into the burning village, smoldering ashes washing over her armored body and tainting the pure ivory tint of the chassis. Each step carried a power behind it, yet was delicate and composed, a faint rustle of chainmail with each foot brushing against the ground.[/i] [i]The being in general was feminine in posture: though, concerning my characters, unsurprisingly taller, at five feet and eleven inches tall. Her being was shrouded by the durable armor that she had borne: ivory white in color, yet ceramite in the making, with alloyed steel chainlinks underneath. A barbuta helmet covered her head from view, a red plume protruded from it's back while an ancient blood red cape fell from her back, attached to her left shoulder pauldron.[/i] [i]She kneeled down, left knee pressed against the ashy, dirty ground as she felt the crumbling hand of a cauterized man, flames still flickering off of him. Rising up, the woman shook her head, looking upon the perpetrators - and their final victim, with what may have been disgust. Or even a liking, one couldn't tell.[/i] "...There must be good reason, to cause such chaos." [i]Her voice was almost as composed as her posture, leaving no evidence of emotion and feeling. She hid behind the mask of being a questioning, curious individual, yet definitively, seemed to long for peace between herself and the two killers. Not only a serenity, but there was something else: a certainly odd tension around the being: as she had came armored, yet without weaponry..[/i]

  • [i]"No, we decided to mindlessly slaughter a village for sport. Got a problem, jackass?"[/i] Roxy's reply was deliberate, sarcastic, and slightly rude, and it was evident that the swordswoman was very aware of this fact. Cael turned to give Roxy a meaningful look, and she would roll her eyes slightly, before turning away. Cael sighed, facing Maria warily examining her closely; seeing no weapons, he assumed that the woman was a mage, like he was, however he could never certain. [i]"Yes, there indeed was a somewhat good reason. But firstly, I apologize for my sister's reply... she can be a little rude, at times. Please do not think too poorly of her. ... what is your business here?"[/i] It seemed as though Cael would not be giving any answers or reasons for anything until he determined that Maria would pose no threat to their lives.

  • "You do not need to apologize, though.. thank you. I took no offense from it. I am Maria Raidriar, arriving from the nearby settlement that is the Dojo and Dojoville, in particular. I was called upon by my sister - she refused to investigate herself, so she relied upon my services to search for survivors. Not that she cared, anyhow.. And now, I am here. With a swordswoman who's coughing up blood, and an apologetic mage. I must say that the destruction is.. impressive," [i]Maria turned her head to view the flaming, collapsing buildings before she returned her gaze to Cael and Roxy.[/i] "~but authorities, and with them, police and roguish, nigh idiotic Dojo members will arrive, seeking to cut you down. You would have a place better suites to speak, I'd hope?"

  • [i]"We came here to kill bitches and get information, not find privacy. In short, we're homeless, and have no place to speak,"[/i] Roxy replied rather bluntly. This time it was Cael that rolled his eyes, sighing softly. [i]"She said it like it is. We've got nothing. But we do have names, if we're introducing.... My given name was Cael Ellis, and this is my sister, whose name is Roxanne Ellis; we simply called her Roxy. If your sister is wondering, we are not here to mindlessly massacre everybody we see; this is the only place in the vicinity that would even have considered attacking."[/i] Upon closer examination, more details about the siblings became apparent. Decorating Cael's arms were elemental runes, painted in black ink, with elemental symbols seen in their patterns. Meanwhile, Roxy had runes, as well; carved by a knife into the skin of her stomach, abdomen, and chest. The dozens of runic scars that decorated the front half of her torso were seen due to the blood that drenched her tank top, making it slightly transparent. And these wounds were bleeding heavily, further saturating her tank top.

  • "...My sister wasn't wondering, she seemingly never cares for deaths and destruction - just who's behind it, and whether she can rival their strength, or worse. Though thank you, for the reassurance. ...If you've suffered wounds at all, then.. I do carry elixirs with healing properties. Though the process itself takes around thirty or so minutes, and uses an anesthetic. I trust that your sister is merely bloody?" [i]Maria was intensely studying the markings and bloodied form of Roxy, though she shared her near inquisitive glares with the markings upon Cael. It was not a manner of utmost disgust, but an intentional curiosity, that drove her to carefully studying the two.[/i] "For speaking and resting, there's always my sister's place. It is an interesting local."

  • [i]"Yeah, it's not my blood. I'm perfectly fine,"[/i] Roxy lied. She didn't particularly care if the lie was believable or not, which it wasn't, but it was clear that she wouldn't be accepting medical attention. Cael glanced at his sister for a moment, before turning back to Maria. He was slightly wary of the intensive staring, and ever so slightly weirded out, however he made no comment. If Maria wanted to check him out, she could check him out. Huehuehuehuehue— [i]"I supposed that your sister's place would be our only option, then. Lead the way, if you're certain nobody would mind two extremely bloody murderers wandering into a place of residence."[/i] He smiled slightly in spite of himself, but the expression soon faded as he awaited a response.

  • [i]Maria had taken to merely nodding her head in some form of mutual agreement, beckoning the two to follow her as she turned around, her head cape swinging back as she turned her helmeted head to look back at the brother and sister. Viewable within her helmet were two sapphire eyes, filled with a peace yet holding back such an anger and fury, that it was undeniable that Maria didn't seem to have some sort of issues on her own. Perhaps that was why she wasn't judgmental and rude when she first met the two siblings.[/i] "Then come, we must hurry." ——————————————— [i]Assuming that the twins followed..[/i] [i]Maria would lead them to a healthier local upon the outskirts of Dojoville, sneaking them past the guards and Dojo members that had been sent to investigate the flaming village, the sun steadily rising in the distance. With each step, Maria lead them closer, until stopping at a large residence, though it was one building in general.[/i] "Wait here." [i]Maria muttered, knocking on the door.[/i] [i]Answering it was a rather interesting individual, least in looks: a younger woman, shorter than Maria yet perhaps at Cael's height, yet she was thinner and less athletic than the three whom were at her door. A black tank top was upon her body, shorts that reached up to her thighs covering her lower half as a beanie was upon her head, concealing light blue hair. Emerald green eyes studied each of the three, the girl biting her lip as she laid eyes upon Maria and sighed.[/i] Pan: "Maria, what the actual fuсk." Maria: "You specifically told me to bring them here if they weren't hostile-" Pan: "No, the armor. Like goddamn, you need it about as much as I need your scientific explanations for literally everything-" [i]At this, Maria snapped a little.[/i] Maria: "We have no time for your incoherent bitching. I told these two that they could rest here, and damnit, they will. Are you going to let them? Or should I kick you down and use you as a mat for my boots?" [i]Pandora shrugged, looking over at Roxy and Cael.[/i] Pan: "You two got on her good side somehow? Goddamn. Did she prick away at the runes? Lick off the blood for her sаtanic ritual shit? Show off her "holy magic"? I know she does shit like that. Anyway, you sick of standing out here and want in? Just say the word."

  • Hearing Pandora's comments on Maria, Cael raised an eyebrow slightly. In truth, watching the siblings screw with each other provided some sort of amusement for him, shown by his very slight smile. Roxy, meanwhile, hid herself behind her brother, evidently the slightly more shier of the two. [i]"If you may tolerate our presence, we would gladly accept your invitation,"[/i] Cael replied, making sure to wipe what blood was not dry off his leather boots before entering the house. Roxy did the same with her bare feet, running a hand through her blood-crusted, ginger hair, before following after Cael. In the setting of a civilized house, Roxy and Cael could be compared to feral animals. Their hair was unkept, their clothing bloodstained and torn, their skin torn up, dirty, and even burnt in places. Either they were homeless, which was likely, or had simply been traveling on foot for a very, very long time. Either way, they were in need of a shower and a change of clothing–not that they would willingly accept either of those. While Cael looked around the house with a mage's curiosity, his sky blue eyes twinkling slightly, Roxy simply tried to stay out of the Raidrir sisters' lines of sight. She remained quiet as Cael spoke: [i]"This is quite a nice place,"[/i] He would comment. [i]"Although we wouldn't know. My eyes have not seen the lower half of a roof for a decade, now."[/i]
