Private - The Wise King of the Forest | Page 8

Seto sighed Sola's sad attempt to counter attack his own counter attack only moments eariler, when he meant body parts, he meant her breasts, not her lips, the more he thought about it, the more brain cells started to die off in his brain, this woman really needed a brain transplant or something to save herself from her own stupidity he thought. He had wanted to lay down some more, wanting to nap a bit more before he would start to drink once they arrived at Dawngrave yet when he closed his eyes, he felt a rock being wedged between his eybrows right above his eyes. His eyes flash immediately opened angered, ready to kill someone, who ever did but as as the moment passed, he took a deep breath in before releasing, letting his anger out into the air. He wasn't going to allow something this trivil to annoy him this much even If the urge was there to kill one of these two in front of him. By the look on Christina and how she acted, she surely did want to change the subject, rubbing his chin with his left hand, he eyed the girl before turning his attention back to himself.

"Both of these two were weird" he muttered to himself, Sola was idiotic airhead who couldn't think for the life of her and Christina was more native than he was when he was eight years old in Oyama, eventually these two would need to grow up some If they hoped to survive in this brutal world they lived in. Being in the real world long enough would fix Christina, he was sure of that but Sola? She was a different story altogether with her shattered mind, he couldn't even tell If she was like this intentionally? Or If something happened in this world that forced her the way she was, either way he would have to deal with this, something he was not looking forward to. Both Christina and Seto turned sharply to face Sola in confusion when she acted like she had never been to Dawngrave before, Christina face palmed herself while Seto rolled his eyes sighing, Luckly for Sola, Christina spoke first as she looked at Christina confused.

"Umm Sola? You sure your not feeling the side effects of those called Drugs Lord Kurama was talking about? Because you already been at Dawngrave before.........you know where you met me and Lord Kurama and you spoke to the mayor? I don't mean to sound mean but is your head only filled with air? We were only here like five hours ago, how did you forget Dawngrave already? I don't think I want to do anyway.


As Christina finished speaking and turned around, they finally made it to Dawngrave's Tori Gate with it's stair behind them, Seto pulled himself off the wagon, volunteering himself to enter Dawngrave first without asking, Seto walked up the hill next to the stairs, dissappearing out of sight within a few moments. Christina stayed in her seat as the horses pulled the wagon the hill slowly and eventually next to the path showing Seto being croweded around by the townpeople. Out in the distance was the town itself with a guardhouse and fountain, some Toro stone lanterns, a shrine admin building, an inn, the Massha and of course Dawngrave's Hoden main hall. Christina fell back into her seat, sighed before stretching her arms and shouted excitely "YES WE DID IT SOLA!"​

​

 

Solaria had actually known the implications, but was trying not to make Christina any more uncomfortable- but, if she did look stupid in the process, she likely didn't care. The elf never cared how she was seen, so long as she felt her actions were done for the right reasons.

For a moment, she fell silent and watched the road ahead, hands idly moving to send something Christina would never see.

Hidden: Direct Message

Solaria

(Whisper to: Seto Kurama) I'd be happy to do more than use my lips, but I might end making you use up some of the fluids I'm getting you to drink if I try to get my fill too, you know~ Plus, you'd have to get me pregnant before you could get milk out of me~

"I didn't get a good look around, you know? I'm well aware I'm no genius. Plus, with all that's happened in those five hours, it's hard to keep a straight enough head to remember where it started. That's what note-taking is for." Now, if she'd just thought to take notes, it would likely have been a better encounter that moment. Alas, it didn't matter much.

They were finally nearing the end of their journey. Christina's excitement was clear as day. The end of a quest wasn't a bad thing, but somehow, there was a sense of dismay upon the elf's cheeks as she glanced around. "I'm glad to be back, and that we can heal the one in need now, but...It's almost sad to know the journey's over. I ope you'll let me join you again sometime when you go out to get some herbs or something...Both of you."

 

The townspeople that saw Seto's returned flocked to his return, forming a crowd of sorts, initially catching him off guard, he wasn't expecting such attention from the villagers this late in the day where the sun would be down soon. From the cheering to the many questions, Seto couldn't think! Not wise so many things being thrown at him, his brain felt like it was going to explode from all this logic until an elderly man pushed aside some villagers over to get a good look at Seto whom of course was the mayor of Dawngrave.
"Oh Lord Kurama! Your back finally! That is good news indeed! I can see the townspeople of Dawngrave have already found you. Did you complete your quest Hero?" Seto didn't say a word, simply nodding up and down to say yes, his silenced answer seemed to excite the elder man greatly. "Well done my Lord! Well done! That means the sick villagers will survive." The elderly man face than took a change for the worst, turning slightly pale before speaking again. "Unfortunately....not everyone made it.....Am sorry my lord but it seems....you weren't fast enough to save everyone."​

Seto remained unfazed by such words, he was expecting it for the most part. He knew that better than anyone probably on Terrasphere and in the real world, no matter how hard you try.....you can't save them all and Seto took that to heart, it was't something pleasent but that was the reality of such things and and it could not be overlooked. He wondered who died? There was a great many people sick here mostly in their thirties to there fourties but their wasn't many who were elderly in age who got the sickness. He shook those thoughts away as he looked upto the Mayor, hoping to give some wisedom.

"That is.....unfortunate Mayor but you can't save them all, that.....is reality, Do not mourn your losses today, instead rejoice in their death as they have been released from their pain and If such a place such as the Heavens exist than they will find salvation there."

The Mayor's pale face teared up a tad hearing such harsh words from Seto but in the end, he did brightened up a bit knowing what Seto spook of to be the truth of such things, there wasn't any ways of around it."Thank you Lord Kurama for such wisedom, I know it is the truth but something like that is hard to do." Seto waved the Mayor off after he had reacted to Seto's word. "Hmph, think nothing of it Mayor, I was simply speaking the truth from experience, I meant no ill intentions towards you or the people of this great town."The Mayor bowed his head in respect of Seto, he didn't know the man well but he was a honest and trustworthy warrior albeit mysterious but to the Mayor, it didn't matter as long as Seto kept his history to himself, considering Seto's abilities to wield a blade and magic, he really didn't want to know either for that matter since he knew what Seto was capable of to an extent. Seto grew tired of this bantering from the townspeople and simply wanted to relax, he didn't understand why these people had the need to bother him so much, so he did an honurable task for them, that didn't mean they needed to give him attention for it. Rolling his eyes, he pushed his hands forwards, telling them to stop in their tracks.
"That is enough....praise for one day people of Dawngrave, it is now time for me to relax and recover from my titanic battle, now If you excuse me, it is time for me to goto the Inn to drink and sleep.

With that, Seto excused himself from the crowd, gently pushing himself through the crowd and down the path to the Inn. On his way to the Inn he remembered what Sola what had said to him, he thought it would be amusing among "other" things to see what would happen If he reacted. Opening his UI, the swiped the screens with his right index finger until he found the mesenger, finding Sola's name from the nearby player tabs, he wrote up his message and sent it to her smirking while opening the door to the Inn

Seto

"Oh? Is that so? By the sounds of such words, are you implying you want to become pregnant by me? Such an action by me would make you into a woman.......A claimed one at that."

Seto EXIT's thread

The townspeople dispersed, returning to their homes or any duties they were doing before Seto, Christina and Sola arrived back at the town, the Mayor was still a tad gloomy from Seto's words but he appeared to have cheered up as well as he approached Sola and Christina with his hands behind his back.

"Well done girls! You did a great thing today, I surely hope it wasn't too difficult to gather those herbs. I apologize ladies, it seems Seto stole the crowd before dissapearing, oh well what can you do when people see their hero right?

Christina jumped off the Wagon as soon as the Mayor was finished talking, cheerful and happy, she ran up and hugged the Mayor whom looked somewhat uncomfortable from her tight squeezes. The Mayor started to caugh before Christina released him finally from her deadly grasp. "That's ok Mayor! WE DID IT AND WE KICKED EVERYONE'S BUTT WHO GOT IN OUR WAY! INS'T THAT RIGHT SOLA?" The Mayor had put on a fake smile on as he nervously laughed before looking back at Christina and Sola.

"Is that so? Well am happy you had a good experence. Sola was it? I hope Christina here wasn't too much trouble here, she tends to get in trouble for things around Dawngrave. Am sure Lord Kurama acted like a lone wolve as usual,he does act like a wolf more than anything, he needs a lioness to"

Christina pouted heavily before sticking her tongue out at the Mayor, trying to tell him she did not approve her words before she got close up to him again, suddently going from playful mean to excited again.

"OH YEAH HOW'S MY MOM DOING? I BET SHE'S FEELING BETTER ALREADY! YEAH RIGHT SOLA?!"​

The Mayor's face turned pale again at Christina's question, he knew of the truth but he didn't want to tell her, he wasn't exactly the type to give such news to people. He nodded his head in silence as he laid his right hand on her left shoulder.

"Perhaps Lord Kurama should tell you, I am...not good with these types of things Christina.​

Christina eyed the Mayor in confusion before becoming excited the next moment as If she had never head what the Mayor had said in the first place. Still happy, Christina turned to Sola and have her a big old hug and looked up to her.

"HEY SOLA! WANT TO GO OUT AT MY HOUSE? AM SURE MY MOM IS FEELING BETTER NOW! SHE CAN TEACH US ALL COOL STUFF ABOUT HEALING!"​

Before sola could answer, Christina smirked at Sola with a mischievous expression on her face

"Or......were you going to dump me to go see Lord Kurama for whatever you adults do....hnn?"​

 

Seto's ability to calm a crowd interested her, and she watched and listened more silently than she had ever been around the two just because of what she deemed 'the enigma'. His words were kept in a log in her head, wanting to keep in mind how to heal the hearts of those who lost someone, since she knew well that it was often inevitable, even with the best care you could get. People died, and that was why it was important to fight for those still living. She wouldn't stop fighting. Not ever.

As the man departed and the crowd was beginning to disperse, the sound of the Mayor's voice returning to her ears, followed by a rather enthusiastic Christina. The girl was far more excited than Solaria was- a surprising fact, with how energetic she usually was. Her mind was still abuzz keeping track of the happenings of the moment, processing slowly in the backburner.

"I'm just glad if I could be helpful, and if you'd rely on me again in the future." Her lips formed a soft smile, but her eyes seemed to stay less on the one she spoke to and more on her fingers which fiddled before her waist. His mention of Seto needing someone to reel him in made her laugh, but not quite as audibly as she felt it was. "If he's truly a wolf, he just has to find his pack. I'll do my best to help him find it at some point. It'll take time, but he'll learn, I'm sure. He's a wise fellow after all, isn't he?"

Finally, her laughter became more audibly, a hand moving to hold her mouth to try to muffle it from sounding vulgar or rude. "Still, he can wait for now. He can take care of himself overall, and after today's trip, he definitely needs a break. Besides, I have a date with this girl."

Holding a hand out to Christina as she asked if Solaria was going to leave her behind, the elf grinned easily, wanting to be of aid to her- but first, she noticed a message and responded to it, her hand moving awkwardly for a mere second while doing so. If asked, she'd simply say it was an old, weird habit she used when she thought. Surely that'd get a laugh, right?

Solaria

"I was saying it as an option if it's what needs to be done to keep you from ruining your health. Then again, do you think you could keep up with me in that process? I might just tire you out more. Hm~

Closing the window, she waited once more for Christina. "Nah, Seto can wait, I'm sure. Let's go ahead. I want to meet your mother, and to have more time with you. I told you, didn't I? There's much to learn that I'm sure you can teach me. Learning from friends always works the best for me, personally." Eventually, she'd follow the girl home and out of site. Their quest was finally over, and the day would end as it always did.

--Solaria Exit--
