Lucia spent her time on the seas looking at the sea with a heavy sigh. It could be argued that her journey started at the sea like this. It all began with a trip to the temple when she was a newb, then as things changed, as she got strong enough to explore, she went to view the sea leading to her decision and thoughts of working on the same side of the undead. It was a ship wreck that showed her what kind of life the undead could lead, how useful and nice it could be to stand at the apex of her own civilization. It was an awing sight, the destroyed ship, the coffin left behind. She'd originally thought that it belonged to a vampire noble, but in the end there was no body within, it was largely abandoned suggesting the person who owned it hadn't died. From there began her journey into the dark arts, looking for remnants of an undead civilization; she couldn't raise her own civilization yet, but god was she off to a start. This thought caused her gaze to wander to her current companion, the Corpse shambling about the sands, as if trying to get used to the shifting terrain. She'd brought the Thrall out here to let it experience combat with unsteady footing. The shambling corpse was once an elf, it's face had rotted away, portion of it's skull was missing and one of it's eyes was long gone. The eye that was left was blank, it had a milky and blind feel to it making it clear that the wandering silhouette was no doubt a corpse while the single remaining ear that appeared to have been burnt or chewed off roughly made it clear their ancestry was Elven. It would have been difficult to determine gender were it not for the feminine armor it wore, even if it was in tatters, and the last bit of long dirty hair hanging down it's back. While it did shamble, it's actions weren't clumsy or even inexperienced. Instead it wandered experiencing sand for the first time as it's body made it's way towards the sea crouching by the water to touch the salty waves as they came in. Like a curious child, it explored it's surroundings without Lucia pulling it's strings, Lucia could only sigh as she watched Sylvanas explore and try to understand the foreign environment. The Elven Lieutenant had protected the fortress stronghold to the south of Ylandia and never left the edge of the woods. Verdant plains and forest were all she had ever experienced, and even up til the time of her death she'd never gotten the chance to explore the wide world until now. As a corpse, it was the only thing she could look forward to in the painful life of living with exposed flesh, organs and bone; the painful life of being a puppet, this sort of thing was the only meager happiness she could experience which was why Lucia was trying to take her from place to place. It would be a long time before the elven thrall experienced it's new life as anything besides suffering, it takes a long time for a corpse to forget it's struggle and live happily as a new existence. Letting Sylvanas play, Lucia sat back in the sands, enjoying the sound of the waves and the scent of the sea. Her head against a larger mound of sand as she reclined contently. Her new white chèuhngsāam hanging onto her catching the light, the golden accents matched her feminine appeal. Soft slip on shoes and a nice cowl scarf combo making her feel a little strange, but at the same time she knew it was more for function then form. The most important part was the new book that hung at her waste, though not a legendary existance the Shadowtome was an uncommon one that she kept wrapped up since it's purchase, it would become her weapon of choice keeping undead alive from now on. With a sigh, she knew she'd come far, but the road ahead was farther still @Shun
As the day beforehand grew a curiosity in the young olive skinned female, her adventures in Terrasphere with the goddess Lucia, her experience of the flesh with her caused the dark haired girl to constantly ponder on what to do next. It had been at least twelve hours since her last log in, Shun wasn't able to get online due to personal reasons, but as soon as she did she logged in immediately, the same lights and sounds passed her eyes and ears, upon entering the game. She found herself in a new location, it seemed to be a beach of some sorts which confused her greatly as she half expected to log into Lucia's tree house, the place where she basked in lust. "Okay, so, where the hell am I at?" She inquired upon looking about, the same attire she had on last time now upon her avatar, it was unusual for a game like Terrasphere to reset her characters attire or gear upon log in. "Hmmm... should have left me nude, that way I can enjoy the beach, oh well." Shun stated as she began to trot along the sandy beachside, enjoy the cawing of seagulls in the sky, the stinging salt air against her skin and hair, the scent of fish and life in the ocean, it was amazing and what else, it seemed that no one was about to bother her. So with that though she opened up her characters inventory and removed her cream toned tunic, her black skin tight leather slacks and boots to be in her gray panties and bra. She thought they would work as a decent bikini until she had a chance to acquire some new clothing whenever she went into one of the local towns, villages or cities, but until then she worked with what she had. But as Shun explored the beach which took her about fifteen minutes she spotted something odd in the distance, two figures, one was a stumbling being that seemed to be a drunken person. The second one was quite harder to identify, but the black hair was alluring for some reason, but Shun simply sighed as she approached the figures, wanting to know whom they were, but as she got closer her eyes widened with not only surprised but also shock. "Wait... Lucia!" "Wait, what the hell is that thing?!" She yelled out as now being only about thirty feet from the two, Shun saw the shamble corpse, the repulsive being, she quickly held out her hand towards the water of the sea and pulled it into a ball around each of her hands. "Lucia, get away from that thing!" She stated as she approached slowly towards her old comrade, clearly having a confused and scared look upon her face which was appropriate as there was a zombie near her and Lucia.
Lucia had been idling in the sand for the longest time, waiting and hoping for Sylvanas to adjust properly. The corpse was still shambling a little, testing the sands, growing acclimated to the foreign climate little by little. She didn't doubt the military woman would adjust well to any terrain she would fight in, it would only take a little bit of practice to perfect it. The sudden voice calling her though made her turn her head up. Seeing Shun rushing towards her, she couldn't help flashing a bright smile. The girl had been particularly interesting to her. Very few were so willing to accommodate her clingy nature and desires for snuggling. "Shun~" She called with a small smile, giving a gentle wave. Though when she heard the yelling about 'that thing' she glanced towards Sylvanas a little perplexed, at first, wondering if maybe there was a mistake; in the end though she figured it out making her chuckle a little. "That's Sylvanas, a Thrall, more Specifically she could be classified as the Grave Guard denomination of the Ghoul subspecies of Undead. Not quite Death Knight level-- Close though." She spoke with a musing tone, Sylvanas's nature as a physical creature was almost complete at least, her nature as a Dark Knight was almost achieved to completion. The problem was taking the next step and giving her a soul. Raising a spectral based Undead based off of souls and spirits was a bit more trying, particularly for Lucia who was largely self-taught. If it weren't for the Goddess's support, Lucia would likely be oblivious to the steps needed to raise a Wight Queen. "Don't be silly though Shun, Sylvanas can't hurt me." Lucia couldn't help sweet melodious laughter at the very thought. The Undead itself turned to face Shun, it's spear being swung down towards the sand, the force enough to scatter the grains of rock from it's surroundings in a small wave flattening the distance between the two. Sylvanas was clearly prepared for a tussle, but Lucia shook her head, preventing it from going farther, the corpse itself stalled as if it suddenly disconnected, simply standing frozen rather then following through with it's provocative gesture. "She'll becomes hostile to those who show hostility towards it or me, so try to relax okay? If I turn her loose she'll try something silly and I don't want to have to heal both of you back up." Lucia complained a little.
The moment that Shun noticed Lucia's tone and the way she spoke about the Thrall, it was clear that Lucia was more powerful than she seemed, Shun was unsure of what to think about the new creature that clearly was becoming hostile towards her, and hearing what Lucia said, Shun had to stand down. "Fine..." Shuns soft tone filled the air as the aquatic orbs fell from her hands, becoming puddles in the sand before being soaked back into the grand sea beside her, the relax tone Shun took as her mana bar quickly refilled as no spell was used. "Well.. seems the MP bar appears when mana is used." Shun softly stated as now slowly walking towards her past lover and standing before her, in her bikini/bra clothing attire she had, the bland appearing clothing hugging tightly to her. "Glad to see you're more than meets the eye luv, thanks for warning me." The dark skinned lass retorted as she suddenly leaned in and kissed Lucia's lips once more in a welcoming manner while wrapping her arms around Lucia's firm frame and pulling away from it. "Also, that's for leaving me all hot and fuzzy last night." "Hope it's a good enough welcome for you?" Shun inquired as her body pulled away from Lucia's, the long black locks clinging to the stark white strands on Shun's forehead, her topaz eyes locked onto Lucia's own gems. "So, what have you been up to lately luv?" Her question filled the air as now her feet dug into the sand further, letting her feel the warmth of the rays as they heated up the light brown grains of earth, the waves crashing over and making cold water run along her ankles which made her shiver with delight.
Lucia chuckled a little when the girl seemed worried about relaxing with Sylvanas so close by. Shun wasn't the first to have such a reaction, and no doubt wouldn't be the last. Soon Lucia hoped to change these preconceived notions. "It's alright, Lower Tier Undead are easily provoked by hostility and intense feelings. It's why people misjudge them as evil or savage. Like cavemen they've just not yet reached the point where they can rationalize and think about things properly. No one's given them the chance to grow past that stage." She explained with a gentle smile. Though the talk about MP increasing made Lucia chuckle, as a professional she'd had to look into earning MP from the start, it was a pivotal point in making progress as a player at least. "MP advances when you practice in general, everything from pondering, to shadow boxing, to using your skills frequently. It doesn't have to just be using your resources." Lucia explained with a small smile. After all, she was getting MP just from Sylvanas adjusting to the sandy terrain of the beach. Soon she'd have her Thrall give roiling waves a go, but now surely wasn't the time. Though hearing Shun's reaction, Lucia chuckled kissing the girl back content with the gentle embrace of the girl. Hearing her talk of a good welcome, Lucia couldn't help a coy smile. "It might be better without the underwear though. Such a shame~" She teased back not being one to lose out on being provocative. The talk of things of late though made Lucia think back to more serious things, a reluctant sigh coming from her lips as she glanced back to the Elven corpse that traversed the beach one step at a time. "Sadly I can't be all fun and games. Being a professional is hard work dear. I'm still trying to fix this one up to be a strong commander or General, it'll be a long time coming." She couldn't help shaking her head knowing she'd yet to even make it half way towards achieving that goal. Sylvanas was far from being a respectable commander, a soldier no doubt, captain perhaps even, someone with authority shouldn't be a problem but leading an army wasn't yet possible for the thrall.
When the stark white locked lass listened to what Lucia had to state about many things, about her undead companion and about the mana points, it all made sense but at the same time she wasn't too sure of everything that Lucia was stating towards Shun. "Alright then." Shuns voice rang out once more as she held close to Lucia, placing her hands above Lucia's waist and nearly over her rump as the comment Lucia gave to Shun about her underwear made her blush. "Well, you're always welcome to try and take it off me." "But not here, I won't people to accidentally catch us." The dark skinned lass retorted as she looked towards the water and sighed gently as all she could think about was the interaction she and Lucia had which caused her body to become hot and heavy. "Listen, about last night or so, that was amazing, I can't thank you enough." She stated and looked back at Lucia before suddenly leaning in and sucking down on her skin, leaving a faint purple-red mark and smirking towards her female companion. "Now that's my thank you to you, hope you like it?" Shun asked the dark haired lass as she watched the undead being stumble and moan out in agony or in misery, Shun wasn't too big on this whole magic deal.
