_____What was better then a hidden beach to herself? Diving into the water without annoying clothing. Arms stretched to the sky as she soaked in the sun across her entire body, her clothes neatly stacked at the side with some rocks to keep them down before she started to walk towards the ledge. Two stories off the ground, a few rocks falling as she stood at the ledge and touched her toes, the cold wind blowing her hair to the left as she rose back up and began to get some distance from the ledge. Then she began her sprint, and jumped off the cliff towards the deep waters below. _____Using her moment to ball up and do two good roll before she nose dived into the water. The rush of warmth of the water and the sting against her bare skin drove her to surface quickly. The beach was perfect for most, the clear waters permitting a show due to her lack of clothing as she turned and began to swim around with her chest downward. Every so often she would roll over to do some backstrokes. Swimming always was her favorite exercise, well outside weapon practice. Slowing down to bob in the waves before she dove down into the water. _____From the surface she seemed like a natural swimmer as she kept going deeper until she touched the bottom and took a shell for her troubles. Rising back up as she exhaled sharply before rapidly taking in air. Her body did not seem used to her diving much like her combat muscle failure. Looking across the beach sands without any sign of others she decided to practice and dunked herself back under the waves. @Lucia Mierz
Lucia had been combing the beach one at a time. Her group of Knights had been sifting through both sand and wreckage while Lucia grilled a small group of thugs and thieves. Her expression clearly poor and irritated. The undead knights had a group of people held down and few were being struck while questioned. The rest of the knights were using tight ropes to tug a freshly sunken ship from the sea. She'd been interrogating this group for a long while, they were pirates, whether or not they were hired to be such or freelancer remained to be seen, they had tried to refuse answering her questions repeatedly, one after another tried to refuse. The beach was quickly locked down by the black armored soldiers who paced and patrolled. With Kaede's diving though, she'd find a sudden pair of rotting arms reach up towards her from the ocean floor. These arms were covered in heavy plate mail, and they were strong and fierce. Grabbing on, they pushed their bodies up from the ocean floor and began to drag her through the water. No doubt making breathing a little hard for the girl until they made it to shore, the soldiers walked across the ocean floor without care. It was only when they made it to the beach that they continued dragging her across the sand, uncaring of her efforts to fight back, the knights' defense was quite high, most strikes were nothing more then a minor inconvenience as they pulled her through the sand towards where Lucia was interrogating people. Glancing down to Kaede, seeing her condition, Lucia only sighed heavily rubbing her temples. Shaking her head, she wasn't sure if this girl was getting caught in the cross fire or a pirate as well, she turned her gaze on the chief pirate. "Is she one of your's?" Lucia asked with a sharp tone. The man glanced to Kaede before trying to adamantly refuse. The intense refusal earned a sharp punch from one of Lucia's knights. The warm splash of blood came out from the man's mouth as if his innards were disintegrating from being beaten too badly. "I'm running out of patience here-- You, are you with these men?" Lucia asked, but she squinted at the girl sharply, impatiently, since she hadn't responded immediately, one of the knights who dragged her over pulled back a fist to strike the girl's stomach. Landing like a hammer swing, Lucia raised her voice. "Are you working with them?"
_____Kaedé was not expecting the sudden submerge, a stream of bubbles escaping her lips as she was dragged under water and tried to grasp the situation, body flailing around and threshing under the ocean as she tried to get free from whatever held her. When she was dragged ashore she was still gasping for air and fighting the events. Frame bouncing up as she tried to wiggle free and fist and feet flying to try and get a good hit to get herself free. When they stopped and she looked at the women she was not able to speak due to breathing heavily and admiring the girl’s actions. _____When her stomach was hit, well it was not the normal reply as she moaned and coughed up water, her legs crossing and body tensing up from the blow as she struggled to catch her breath a bit more. ”N… no… I was swimming, I’d like… to get back to such… if you don’t mind… I don’t mind if you join me… but cloths are a no-no if you do…” Kaedé would struggle a bit to get herself up to try and look the women over. Struggling to whistle as she imagined her naked before blushing as she noticed she was naked in front of a pirate and a death mage. ”If not for the rude approach of your knights… I think I’d be wet in more than one way right now…” _____Kaedé tried to use her jokes to calm herself down, it was also an attempt to get the girl to order another hit or do it herself, the feeling of the pain causing her to tense, and the thought of more crippling her body. @Lucia Mierz
Lucia couldn't help sighing. She certainly was the type to propose such things herself, no doubt. At the same time though there was always a time and a place. Now she was searching for treasures and evidence. There was time to hit on girls later right? With a deep frown, she glanced towards the undead knights once more causing them to lean down to strike the girl again. Once for the comment, then another for the whistle, then even one more for downing her knights. Lucia had a lot of pride in the Tal'darim though. The pair of knights began roughly throwing fist after fist at the girl's body before Lucia gestured with a hand to stop them. "If you keep being cute like that I'm just going to kill you." She said with a deep and heavy frown, the knights thrusting the girl down against the sand only for Lucia to step on her chest as she glanced towards the other pirates. The group was getting more frantic and flustered. Admitting to a few things Lucia couldn't care less about. A few of them were still dodging the subject making her rub her temples more. Her heel dug into the girl's chest as she gestured causing the beatings to get a little more savage. She frowned deeply almost biting her thumb nail until one finally cracked and confessed to where the ship wrecked making her exhale a relieved sigh. Though the others seemed relieved, Lucia only put more weight onto Kaede's body, the others continued to torture the pirates as her brow furrowed deeper. "I don't need the thieving scum." She spoke turning her gaze down at Kaede with a frown. "And if you aren't one of them, you're like this just swimming?" She mused in thought, it was an odd quirk but not exactly an unusual one. Lucia herself was fond of such activities but at the same time, she felt suspicious of the girl, looking down at her. "Where did you leave your things?" She asked, feeling like that would be the most reasonable way to find things out. If the girl was telling the truth her things would be somewhere close by rather then washed away by the tides right?
_____Kaedé hated to admit her darker secret, but after the three blows she was wide open and showing it clearly. The foot against her stomach caused her to moan out and start panting as her body tingled and started perking up. She was getting beaten by someone in clear daylight without anything on and it only rose her more. Lucia would be able to clearly see she liked the pain in her eyes as she tried to speak before the heel was dug into her stomach and she arced as best she could while being kept down. ”My stuff… is up on that cliff… I dove into the water… to feel the sting against my breast… I swear i have nothing to do with them… but… please hit me more…” _____Kaedé cursed in her mind, her habit to say what she thought still affected her in this state as she wiggled and looked expecting more pain. She wanted to comply, but she also wanted to get punished like the pirates had been getting. Why was she so turned on by pain? No matter how much she thought back the source never showed in her memory as she kept struggling trying to instigate more pain to be inflicted by @Lucia Mierz and her knights.
Lucia couldn't help a small frown, the girl was certainly strange, though Lucia did adore those who were special, this girl as a different kind of special. There didn't seem to be any class or grace to it. Thinking about it deeper, Lucia tried to find an adequate way to put it, but it was hard without being harsh. For a moment she merely ground her foot into he girl's chest a bit more violently as she considered what to do and how to take things. "No, this won't do--" She spoke, swinging a hand to give the girl a harsh slap. The sting of her soft palm on the girl's face as she spoke letting that sting sink in as she spoke in a firm demanding tone. "That will be the last one for a while. I wouldn't mind beating you up dear if that's what you like, but there is a time and a place and while this might be a good place, it's certainly not the time." She spoke lifting her foot and snapping her fingers at the girl demandingly. "Come, Follow me. We'll go get your things first. If you've been honest and obey then I'll be sure to treat you 'well' okay?" She spoke, reaching up a hand to pet the girl's head, the touch was soft but in the end she gave Kaede's hair a soft pull, clearly demanding she stay in line. "Now, show me the way to your things for now." She spoke firmly, crossing her arms impatiently, waiting to be led. If Kaede was too persistent in resisting her will, Lucia would just forget it and move on with her knights. She didn't want someone who would just fly away or off the handle at the drop of a hat after all.
_____The heel only caused Kaedé to tense up and lock down as her mind flickered trying to regain control. Kaedé would blink at the petting before the pull got her to rise up and start walking. Her body still locked up and awkward to be doing something so different as she staggered a bit making her way to a narrow Cliffside that ran up the area to where she had dove from. Resting below a tree was her clothing, all expect her scarf that was stashed within her inventory tab. Set on the top was a pink swimsuit Kaedé looking at it and shrugging. ”Skinny dipping is better, and I thought nobody was on this beach so it was my nude beach~” _____If Kaedé had not been messed with since they started moving she would be back to her normal self now. Arms stretched upward as she let herself hang loose before stretching downward. She was not bothered by the knights if they followed, or if the girl judged her for being fine undressed around a stranger. Looking over to Lucia as she grinned before waving her hands. ”Come on strip won’t you, I want to go skinny dipping with you.” Kaedé was not yet fully tamed, but she was not willing to try and force the girl who already said she might punish her if she obeyed orders, but nothing was said about give some herself.~ @Lucia Mierz
Lucia chuckled a little shaking her head at the girl who seemed to snap back to her previous self. This girl again was going too far, as someone who enjoyed a touch of class, it was difficult for Lucia making her frown shortly after. "Don't be silly, didn't I just say time and place?" She spoke with a small smile again giving the girl a small slap as if trying to wake her up, the sharp sting of an open hand again greeting the girl's cheek as she continued. "You'll have to understand that, I'll have you understand that now." She spoke slapping the girl again. If her legs got too weak, the black knights from earlier would hold the girl up so Lucia could keep exerting herself and letting her frustration vent. After a long series of slaps, so many Lucia would have forgotten to count, enough to make the poor girl's cheeks red before finally stopping. With a tired sigh she shook her hand to get feeling back into it, she wasn't a physical fighter after all, but she flashed a sharp grin at the poor girl who had just been slapped around once more. "Do you think this is okay? Doing this with a stranger? Are you like this with everyone?"
_____Getting slapped so many times did cause her to grow weak, getting help up as the onslaught of slaps until her face was red only made it harder for Kaedé to resist or wear her façade, or more accurate second persona. ”Not… not everyone punishes me… Most… times I set ground rules if I get to this point… But when I feel pain… I can’t even think straight… I don’t want to lose some to punish me for my wrongs… to make me feel the thrill of pain…” Kaedé was panting as she tried to speak, her voice cracking every so often. ”If I have… to give up things… to keep someone who wants to punish me… wants to hurt me so I can feel pleasure… Name the price… Nearly anything… to keep this feeling… to have a master to dish out what I deserve…” _____Kaedé tried her best to rise up to see Lucia’s eyes, to look at the women’s face to show how her eyes meant she was serious about giving up things she had to gain something she wanted. So many she met and tried could never hurt her and seemingly feel nothing or regret it. Sure she might have wished to get rid of this side she had within her, but when it was drawn out it consumed her, and grew stronger if fueled. ”I’ll give up men, I’ll give up drinking, I’d give up most my free will… But… Not other women… Not on my own goals… And not on trying to get rid of this darkness… To get off from pain… it’s hideous to me… I pray one day that it no longer exist within me…” _____Kaedé would look @Lucia Mierz in the eyes, she was determined to fight this side of her until it was gone, but as long as it burdened her she had to serve it or be entirely consumed by it. It was both the chance to fully control her, or free her from it and have her in debt to Lucia. The choice was in the girl's hands.
Lucia only chuckled a little. The girl was alright, but not the best; this was something that would take work and effort she felt. There was no way it would be a quick change she considered. Rubbing her chin, she knew that as long the girl was obedient, Lucia could lead her down a proper path. With a thought, Lucia slowly shook her head at the girl's words bringing a hand to her head giving her forehead a soft poke to keep the girl alert as she spoke. "You should know, if you just spoke a sentence or two less, you'd have a bit more class in your approach." She spoke with a soft chuckle feeling that Kaede wasn't very self-conscious. In the end, Lucia reached down for Kaede's things, lifting them up, handing them to Kaede as she spoke with a soft tone. "Give up men, no more of those. Drink in moderation, I won't ask you to throw it all away but if you can't obey my words because you're too drunk, I'll be upset." She spoke firmly reaching up to the girl's head stroking it as she continued. Her hands slipping down to the girl's collar briefly touching her bare collar. "As for that 'darkness', well, a lot of things are misjudged as dark or black or evil. Like Necromancy-- Like Sylvanas, but white and black, light and dark are just colors and shades." She murmured before grasping the girl's neck firmly. Applying a little pressure, enough for her to feel herself being choked, but not enough to drain the breath from her lunges. She held on for a short while, a small smile on her face as she tried to bring Kaede to her knees. The Black knights let the girl go as Lucia continued to grip her neck. Gazing into Kaede's eyes, her gentle gaze was benevolent despite choking the girl. She held onto her speaking her words very softly and sweetly. "I'll help you. From now on I'll rough you up a lot, a lot~" She teased with a kind smile as if offering the girl something sweet or tasty. "And you, you just be good for me. Little by little we'll work on that together until you won't need to be roughed up." She spoke with a coy grin, suggesting that she'd ween Kaede off of beatings as she got more and more obedient.
_____Kaedé would listen to what Lucia had to say, her mind writing them down as orders she could not break. Giving up men was nothing much to Kaedé, most times they did not exactly help her out or only thought hurting her with their rod was enough to keep her in line or said she could only do it with them. The order on drinking moderation was a thin line she would need to adjust to over time but felt she could make that change, the moment she started to be choked that thought became an iron must do as she gasped lightly buckling and falling down to her knees rather easily. ____She tried her best to nod without causing herself to lose any more chances of breathing a bit normally, her body still tense and now she did not exactly feel right getting dress when she was still wet from her swim and had so much sand from the dragging on the beach. But if she was pressured or asked to get dressed she would try her best to comply her expression a weird mix of annoyed and unpleasant from having sand in some places she did not think would be fun to have for very long. _____If she was sent back to getting choked or still was she would start trying to tap the girl’s hand, her face redding from pleasure of the treatment but also the lose of air as she kept forgetting to breath thinking the grip was tighter. Exhaling and coughing as she was left on all fours trying to get air back and a more composed expression before trying to face the girl she still had no name for but one in her head. ”Your wish is my command… you word is my order… ...My mistress.” A slow motion to attempt a knight's bow to a queen or royalty as Kaedé slowly tried to meet the woman's gaze. @Lucia Mierz
Lucia nodded back, pleased with this change of heart it seemed. Nodding along she'd lean down just far enough to give the girl's raised head a rough slap once more, as if giving it as a reward though she smiled and stroked the girl's hair soon after. "Good, now get rid of this sand and come meet me where we first met, carry your things with you. I still have things to finish there. Hurry." Lucia ordered, even demanded before brushing the girl off a little with her hand, no where near enough to get rid of the sand, but enough to show that even Lucia herself was displeased with a dirty servant. Sending Kaede off to get clean, Lucia arrived back at the ship wreck with a deep frown, the innards of the ship had been practically gutted, the keel split. She was uninterested in the wreckage in truth, but she didn't mind it so much. Instead, she was trying to sift through the contents of the cargo hold. There were a few things that could possibly be valuable, but none of which really interested her. She threw the fancy table wear and metal works out scattering them across the sands impatiently. Those black knights who were serving her did the same, destroying box after box, taring bag after bag to find what they were looking for in a rush. "These ones were definitely the ones with a piece... Where did it go though." Lucia murmured with a deep frown. Finding a map was difficult work, but pieces of one was even rougher. At least if it had been a typical map, it would have been a little easier to tell with a glance based on a map's features, but Lucia's desired map was instead torn pages from a book. One that she herself still had to find after even. Without knowing the particulars, she was completing things out of order due to the difficulty of her objective. "They're hiding it." She frowned deeply waiting for Kaede with impatience. If the girl hurried back, Lucia would turn and jab her in the chest with a tight and frustrated fist to work out her aggression, knowing it was best to hit something soft so as to not hurt her own hand. She huffed clearly bothered with a deep frown. "Those pages are here, I know it..."
_____Kaedé would bow her head after Lucia dusted her off partly and had given her the order. Moving her arms to slowly start patting herself down and moving oddly to get the places that had sand where it was harder for herself to reach before she was cleaned up and got her cloths. Seeing Lucia was already near the pirates she figured it would be best to hurry up, hands opening her UI to get her scarf back around her neck before she got her clothes and ran towards the cliff edge and took a shallow jump. _____A mix of both her mobility and rouge as she spun in the air to get her feet where she needed them to chain her jumps down the fastest route she could take to get down all the while holding her cloths to her chest. Her scarf rippling in the air as she took one final hop and landing crouched down in the sand before she rushed to her mistress’s side. The blow to her guts caused Kaedé to slightly stagger backwards a she bite down on her lip and took a knee thinking she was in trouble for taking a bit too long to get ready since Lucia looked angry. ”Sorry mistress… some of the sand was in places I don’t normally reach, and others in places I wish it was not…” _____A light shade of red crossed her face as she stayed on one knee until she was told otherwise. While it was partly her being respectful she still had her own little reasons as she got a better view of Lucia’s curves from the lower angle, and it helped hide her skin a bit as a bit of nervousness had started to wash over her. She was the only one naked, and that was because she was ordered to remain undressed, her heart hoping @Lucia Mierz would be fine with her wearing the scarf and above all praying the women did not try to rip it off her neck.
Lucia glanced down at Kaede who seemed genuinely apologetic. Realizing she'd taken her anger out, Lucia let out a heavy breath, a burdened sigh coming from her lips for a moment. Kaede certainly did make it easy to stay calm. All of her frustrations and anger could disappear so quickly with this girl's help. "It's okay. This is just becoming a bigger chore then I once thought. To think it would drag me to this place to look for the pages of a diary." Lucia couldn't help complaining, her tone a little spiteful, this game was messing with her she felt. Rubbing her temple briefly, she considered how it would be to best find the diary's missing pages, but at the same time, she was clearly getting impatient. With a gentle gaze, she rested a hand on Kaede's head, tenderly stroking her hair. She naturally noticed the scarf, but rather then complaining she simply grabbed one end, looking at Kaede closely she slowly nodded. "It's cute... When we're alone this should be how things are." She tried to tease, her tone was sweet like honey as she stroked the girl's hair. She wasn't bothered by Kaede's stare, leaning a hip out as she continued to pet the kneeling girl, as she watched the knights tare apart the ship wreckage to look for evidence, but after a while, Lucia's impatience piqued. "What's your name? Kaede? Get in there with the Tal'darim knights. I need to find the pages of this diary. if you find even a scrap of paper, bring it to me." She demanded gesturing to the ship's wreckage. With a firm hand she tried to grab Kaede's hair giving it a gentle tug back to meet the girl's eyes. "Now, this is my first real demand from you-- get in there and find it. If you do good, well, I'll reward you with a nice night of the things you like alright?" She spoke with a warm grin finally letting Kaede's hair go. The moment Kaede rose, she'd try to slap her butt to get her going faster. Lucia was feeling more and more pressure the longest this search took; had the pages washed away, Lucia would have no hope.
_____Being treated slightly like a pet made Kaedé puff her cheeks out for a few moments. It also took her some control not to snap at Lucia for touching the scarf considering the place it held in her heart but somehow by luck or sheer will she stayed at her kneed position until her hair was pulled and the first order was given. The slap only moving Kaedé faster as she moved towards the ship and jumped over a few of the knights searching in more uncommon spots. One could only think that if you want to hide something keep it where others wouldn't expect or close to you. _____For a few moments Kaedé would be upside down hanging from a piece of floor looking around before she jumped down and kept her odd searching up. Turning towards the crew she could only wonder as she bounced over and began to check some of their clothing, starting oddly from the lowest ranking of the crew. She did not fully know what she was looking for outside paper but anything she found would be tossed aside. If she was lucky enough to get a paper she would rush over and kneel before Lucia to offer it before going back to searching. _____Results or not she would search until she turned every choice she had, if not even one scrap of paper was found she would return to Lucia with her head down and on one knee once more. She hated the idea of failing her newest chance to rid of her darker nature, and to do such on the first order really did a number on her if it happened. Not even able to raise her head without an order to do so if she failed her mistress. _____However if she did get something of value she would return with her head slightly raised, not so much like she wanted her actions to be noticed but enough to show she was happy to be of some use to the girl. Her scarf drifting in the wind as she awaited her next order or punishment. @Lucia Mierz
