Bonding over a Break (Madison & Sayrn)

Time, she could not tell the time, her eyes heavy as she tried to open them the obvious sounds of banging on her door during the lock down but from everything she could know it to be from the outside. She felt the child in her arms and would slowly lift her head groggy and still very much not awake, “Madison… What time is it…” She would slowly turn her head to face the clock inside the room recognizing that she had in fact slept until noon. With a sigh she would pick Madison up setting the child on the table only to notice the situation of the clothing as she would quickly use her blood to form the skintight body suits like before, “Wait here a moment Madi…” Walking over to the still banging door she would wave her hand to drop the lock down, “WHAT…” She would see the guards were there along with what she could assume to be builders causing her to rub the back of her head, “We have been trying to contact you for THREE HOURS.” With a yawn she would look at the enraged guard and simply shrug, “I was sleeping… Anyways put the new extension opposite the examination table… Make sure that there is a decontamination chamber before the extension too…” She would set up the simple details of a decontamination chamber before the bedroom in the lab and set up the design before walking back over to Madison.

With a crack of her neck she would pat the child's head, “For today since we need to leave the room while they work… I was thinking we should go get you some new clothes… Something that would work with you anyways…” Looking around the room she knew that there were no clothes that she had that could fit her as she shrugged, “You will have to live with the bodysuit for now… Just be careful how you walk it might cameltoe…” with a yawn she would grab Madison’s hand before walking towards the entrance of the guild whistling to call Azazel, “Today we are gonna head to Hosenka… So yeah get ready for a bumpy ride.” Jumping onto Azazel’s back she would lift Madison up and set the child on her lap as Azazel would soon begin their journey towards the town of Hosenka.

The feeling of her one sided warmth starting to move had hardly affected the way she slept. She smiled and nuzzled her head into the shoulder of her new lab director, or however she preferred to be addressed toward others as far as a title. Though she knew she wasn't fond of the idea of titles or anything of the sort, it just made things clearer if or when she would decide to come towards telling someone she had talked to. Her eyes cracked up at the sound of Sayrn's voice, and more so when she felt herself being picked up. She was placed onto the table, steadying herself as the red head had gone to go open the door to address those whom had come in. She turned her head to watch as she engaged a small conversation with her guards, watching her point out places for them to build and such.

As she felt her head being patted, the little red head had looked up with a sleepy gaze, letting out a yawn and nodding slowly before noticing that she had actually had been placed into the skintight bodysuit. Her eyes widened as if she had just woken up more from the pure sight and then looked back up to Sayrn just nodding once again. "A-As you wish.. But um.. I have t-to wear this in pub- wait.... What's a cameltoe?" She asked, no longer caring about the public display of herself in the outfit, it quickly became an acceptable attire choice for the time being. Something told her it would be something she'd have to wear often in case of lab accidents anyway, so she'd most likely be better off getting used to it.

She'd be quickly led out of her new guild home, watching as Azazel had descended to them and allowed Sayrn to jump up, pulling Madi up on top and onto Sayrn's lap, making Madi blush. She wasn't used to being a "lap child" so to speak, so being so close on a willing basis was new to her, and it made her very happy, as though her face was pink, a smile was there. "Maybe.. Just one outfit you could pick out that you'd like me to wear? err.. What I mean to say is.. Should we go out somewhere nice, I'd want something you like to see me in. I don't pick really anything improper to wear for my age, but it would make me a little happier that there's something you like. Oh oh! Maybe a hairstyle too? Or.. am I pushing it?" Chuckling now, she'd peer over her shoulder and wait a moment before wanting to lean against her for the ride, unless she chose to do otherwise for some reason.

She had to note the child's lack of bodily experience as they rode on Azazel the beast running at top speeds to arrive at Hosenka for them. Listening to their request she would nod her head, “Indeed I could do so, I feel like you rather want me to treat you more like a doll as is… But still.” hovering her hand over Madison’s belly the body suit itself would tighten pulling up as it would press itself between sensitive areas outlining Madison’s sensitive spot before it would go back to normal, “That is a cameltoe, hence my explanation to be careful how you walk, once we get into Hosenka we will get you a haircut as well… Not anything drastic just to clean it up a bit.” With that said she would tap her chin and before looking at the child and kissing their forehead, “Now then we should be arriving soon, try to ignore the people… Out looks will most likely attract attention so if you need to, focus on talking to me to avoid the looks.” As they arrived at the gates of the town she would drop off Azazel, Madison still in her arms before slowly setting the child down and pointing to the forests, “Azazel go wild, kill as much you want~” With a screech the dragon’s eyes would light up as poison dripped from it before it would storm off towards the forest as they entered the town.

The eyes were the first thing to be felt as Madison had no bra or panties on the skin tight suit allowed for the full disclosure to the reality of situation hence stares were put on her. Sayrn’s own eyes went around the town glaring down the more obvious people while warding off those that would otherwise attempt to say anything. Soon they would arrive at the different clothing stores as Sayrn would let the child have free reign to grab what they wanted be it panties or bras to some of the most expensive clothes there were while she herself looked around. Tapping her chin while looking in a mirror her red eyes would stare at her own body and with a sigh she would turn away before looking over to Madison hopefully having fun that she could get a new bunch of clothing for herself. Once all was tried on and sizes were properly figure out Sayrn would come with Madison to the cashier and as all were scanned the lady would smile, “Will that be with Jewels or Credit?” with a smile Sayrn would pull out a sack of jewels to pay for the full amount and tip them, “Keep the change, you made the girl happy today so for now I am happy.” Walking with Madison out she would look down at her and smile, “I have something picked out for you myself alright?” As they walked she would sit down in front of a bikini store and sigh, “We also need to stop here…” Looking at the child she would sigh before smiling and leading her inside to find themselves some bikinis to wear at the spa trip she had planned.

During the travel over on the back of the dragon, Madison couldn't do much else as she relaxed in Sayrn's lap, nestled in like a couch potato and watching her hand move over to the suit."W-Well I mean.. It sounds like a fun idea to me.. But if it's going to trouble you and impede our work, I'll accept the denial to do so. It's just all the free spiriting I've had growing up... I like the restrictions and the idea behind it." As she watched the hand touch the suit, she could feel it contorting and something riding up, making her bite her lip as a small moaning noise left her mouth, only to nod and watching as it returned to it's normal spot. She could only nod and keep her mouth shut for a moment as she let the strange rush of a sensation leave her body, she pulled her hair over her shoulders and hugged it like a silky blanket being threatened to get thrown away. "B-b-b-but! I love how long it is now! ...But perhaps.. I suppose if it truly isn't too drastic, I won't mind after a bit..." Releasing her hug, she would flip her hair back over her shoulders carefully, not wanting to whack Sayrn in the face or anything with it.

Once they had landed, she watched as the dragon scurried off to go hunt for it's own food and with a rather large amount of trust, it was quite the spectacle to see. While they had walked along the streets, whispers and eyes spoke all about her. She didn't notice it, but the suit had revealed parts of her in small suggestible manners to which she'd only entrust to someone from which she was either happily married to, or close to it. Still, she remained as silent as could be, her face slowly turning shades of red even a cherry couldn't reach until they entered the shop. Immediately, the little red head had dove in towards the dresses and took a moment to let her nerves calm themselves while she got lost in the look of her new clothing choices. One by one, she plucked several dresses, hoodies, shirts, skirts, bras, and panties out and tried on very few before deciding on wearing out one specific attire choice. With that decided and it all paid for, the pair of red heads moved along towards another shop, one to be required since they were going to a spa. "W-well, I... I.. Mm alright." Hesitantly, Madi would follow once more behind Sayrn, wondering what else she'd have in mind for her little assistant to wear today.

Once they had made the decision to enter she would look down to Madison and pat her right shoulder a soft smiling running across her face, “I like your choice in clothing.” With a quick tug to the child's arm she would pull her into the store as they would search around for an appropriate bit of swimwear for the both of them. It took them an hour, bits showing too much here, bad sizes there and even one clothing mishap on Sayrn’s part that caused a clerk to have to force payment for a broken bikini top. Once all was said and done Sayrn had chosen her own swimwear while Madison would hopefully have found something she herself was feeling comfortable inside as Sayrn would walk with Madison up to the clerk and would pay for them both having them put into the same bag as the previous clothing they had bought. Once outside the shop she would take a gander to the time as she would sigh and look at the child, “We have about one more hour before we can head to the spa for our time, let us eat before we enter, I am fine with high spending on clothing since it is important but let's find some cheap food…” Walking with her child in their new clothing she herself would hold the child’s hand as they walked a small blush forming on her own face at how much they must look like family at this point.

Once reaching a restaurant that Sayrn could agree on even if Madison had suggested others or not Sayrn would sigh and lay her head down on the table they would sit, “I am feeling tired again… This spa is gonna be nice for me…” Once ordering food which could be for any time of the day Sayrn would shake her head when it came her time to order, “No I only wish for some coffee please… And add like… three… No five espresso shots… YES I MEAN IT!” With their order made Sayrn would lay her head back down on the table, “Madison I want your honest answer… Have you ever had a sex education before? In any form? Or did the church not teach that besides in incestuous forms?” With a quick raising of her had she would accept her coffee and Madison would get their drink if they had ordered one as Sayrn would chug down her coffee like it was nothing, “I ask because you seem rather inexperienced for a teen and that makes me wonder if I need to give you one, it is rather important and to be honest you are at the age where changes would be applying anyways.” With that said she would turn her head to the side seeing what would look like just smoke from chimneys but Sayrn herself knew it as the effects of magic perhaps of mages fighting Azazel.

As she stood by Sayrn, prepped and ready to leave, the older red head had examined the clothes she wore, having a momentary jump scare from the gentle placement of her hand laying on Madi's shoulder, the shot of fear could be seen in her eyes as she looked up. Her mind flashed back to her prior capture from Harrigan, immediately jumping to the next scene of blood pooling before her feet and the man's pure terror of laughter echoing louder and louder in her mind until it ceased completely in one fell swoop. The words leaving her lips had made her mind refocused on the compliment given to her, smiling as she brushed out her shirt and skirt. "U-Uh t-thanks, ma'am. I always try to pick out appropriate and more presentable clothing. Mixes like this always make things nicer, too."

Their trip to the swimwear had come to be a rather delicate matter, to be truthfully honest. First off, growing up where she had, there was no real beach to go to, no trips to a town nearby that had one, nowhere that was accessible except private personal pool used by those who could easily afford to put it in their own yards. So really, a swimsuit wasn't something she'd even considered owning until she left to go join Pharoh's Call, and even then.... Who would wear a swimsuit in the desert? As she looked around, she found some that left what bit of a chest she had to be left held up by little cloth, followed by an exposed stomach and the private area to be left to as much if not slightly more cloth to protect it from harm or exposure. But, through reluctance and watching Sayrn try a few on, she did so, as well as a few one piece sets before picking out a couple and letting them in with the others to be purchased.

Quietly, she followed in suit of her "mentor", to which she didn't know what else to refer to her as aside from a few choice words. Without much else to say, she nodded and kept pace until they arrived at a restaurant, making sure that as she sat, her skirt was properly fanned and her sitting position was nearly prim as she was raised and continued to use. "I've never really been to one of them before.. So it'll be a fun experience doing this with you, Ms. Sayrn." Smiling happily, she'd leave her hands rested comfortably on her lap while she watched the woman order, then looking up as the waiter turned to her. "Ice water is fine with me, sir. Thank you." Short and simple, which honestly she hadn't known what she'd hear about it if anything.

The moment she heard her ask about that topic, her eyes locked on the top of the womans head. She blinked several times quietly as she continued on about her assumptions of what sex ed was. Quickly, the waiter returned to their table placing their drinks down, only making the child reach out and pick up the glass and drink a large portion of the contents quickly before putting it down, letting the cold help try and calm her nerves. "W-Well.. I honestly would prefer a conversation like this in private... But I suppose as long as it's kept quiet as is I will comply. To answer your question, I have not have any personal sit down and talk with any adult over the topic, mostly due to the nuns not wanting the children to lose their virginity should they choose to enter the nunnery at 16. Aside from that, mama Aiyana had never talked to me about that, however I was considering on asking her several times in the past, but I felt too awkward and uncomfortable asking her. All I know of it is what I read in books, but even then I would still think a heart-to-heart conversation does ones self much better, I would think." With a sigh, she finally felt a rather nervous weight off of her shoulders, though this lunch was probably going to get very strange, very quickly.

As the caffeine within her system finally began to take effect she would pop her shoulder feeling it to be slightly off and look at the child with a raised eyebrow, “I have no clue why you are so nervous, this is not a conversation I would have in full here dark mage or not I have some form of social ideals when it comes to topics such as this.” Setting her coffee down and tapping the glass she would signal for a refill as one of the waitresses would come to grab her mug and replace it with a full one, “As for the whole lack of education, it shows. I will not even hide it you are quite obvious in your lack of knowledge for your own body but for now I suppose we should drop the topic.” As her next coffee would arrive she would look dead at Madison her eyes almost seeming to glow a darker crimson as she spoke, “I will ask again, have you ever killed anyone before with your own hands? And be HONEST with me.” Eye began to look towards them, perhaps it was an unfitting setting but Sayrn could care less she was in a form that the world would know soon enough anyways, “Ignore the riff raff and tell me the truth. I ask for perfectly good reasons, no then, You hesitated when I touched your shoulder before to a slayer that is easy to tell and to a doctor your own shift for that moment was enough to tell me something was wrong and I know these shifts myself.”

Almost like clockwork her speech and questions she had asked would bring attention as in a moment she could sense a mage in the background walking their way perhaps tipped by the staff. With an eye still on Madison she would ask the same question once more, “Now, Did you EVER kill someone?” Just as Madison would finish giving her answer to Sayrn she the sounds of the door opening could be heard as Sayrn would chug down her coffee and sigh whispering under her breath, “And I just bought these clothes too…” In the distance two new people would sit down at a table further away from them one was a man gruff yet soft on the eyes at least they wore a simple kimono robe and carried what would could only call an axe made of light which seemed to somehow NOT blind the entire place. The other was a small frumpy woman by the looks of things her hair in a beehive type hairstyle that even the eighties would laugh at as her prim and manicured nails tapped the table and Sayrn herself could catch the scent of what one could only call the worst damn thing in the world coming from her. With an eye turned barely towards them she could see the lady having a Sabertooth mark on their hand being pink in color with a sickeningly light hue while the man carried a Lamia Scale tattoo on their neck located beneath his right ear.

"What in heak to do you mean you don't know why I'm nervous!? I grew up in a place that gave 50 Hail Mary's for simply coming late to Sunday Mass. What in the lords name makes you think a topic even being mentioned in public would be taken lightly?" She tried to keep her voice low as not to make a spectacle of herself, but she was only ending up in making it harder to keep herself from going over the edge and erupting on her. She just started to calm down as she heard the topic at hand dropping for the time being. If she would have asked that at the lab, whether before they came, or even the day they had met, things would definitely have become a much more different situation.

Her eyes widened and a look of fear started to take over her facial expression. "D-Don't make me answer that.. please..." She muttered, her arms started to shake lightly, simply listening to her continue to give her little analysis of how she'd acted moments ago. The results she presented gave Madison the chills, tears starting to well up as she was ready to cry, when the light of some kind made her stop. Sayrn's lack of interest in them made her look slightly, giving a bit of an angered look on her face like something was taking her attention away from the conversation. Upon seeing the tattoo's, she could only seem to put the very last question in mind before she pushed up from her chair, hands slamming onto the table. "You can't run my life forever! If I choose to see him, I won't let you stop me!" In a rather random shouting, she would storm out of the restaurant, walking outside and right to the top of an alley, pacing back and forth angrily. Hopefully Sayrn understood what she'd done and would come out to calm her down.

She would listen to her child speak not wanting to pursue the topic which would only cause an internal desire in Sayrn to learn more as in the next few moments she could note Madison’s shift in attention. Almost like if she was possessed she made a quick and loud statement about not wanting her to have control on the child's life and would storm out, indeed this child thought that doing so would prevent a scene but Sayrn knew better. Standing from her spot she would yawn and hold out her hands as in a second as she had gotten up the same Axe she had noted before would go flying by her face as she would simply smile, “What throwing an Axe to a recently risen lady? That’s not a way to act~” The man would simply grunt and twist his hand as Sayrn would quickly duck backwards bending all the way back as the Axe came flying from behind her back to the mage's hand, “You are the poison mage from Magnolia correct?” holding up a wanted poster she would clap her hands sarcastically, “Amazing the Lamia Scale mage can read and comprehend! You would think after all the shifts in leader your kind would be more inbred~” With a large scream he would attempt to slam the Axe down and crush her as she remained on her arms the spectacle causing screams from the other patrons as they all either ran for the back exit or tried to slip out the front. With a quick move she would flip herself out of the way and land a few feet back clapping her hands as she landed, “Amazing! Bravo! Truly powerful! Me big! Me strong!” With a twisted grin she would hold out both her hands as her spears would appear from cracks in the air, “But really that’s ALL you are.” With a quick movement she would almost in an instant be in front of the mage causing them to stagger back Sayrn in their face as her eyes glowed stronger.

A loud crash would be heard behind Madison coming after the screams the Axe wielding mage thrown through the wall like it was nothing a spear lodged in his throat as blood squirted from the area. His bleeding would soon become worse as the spear turned back to magic particles Sayrn herself summoning another as the frumpy lady from before ran with the rest of the people clearly having been new to the whole mage business. As she would walk to the dying mage she had impaled she would look over to Madison her eyes now with a clear crimson glow as a pure red aura surrounded her, “See this is why I ask… You run and hide all the time, you fear the eyes of others and yet look at this.” with a motion she would throw a blood stained wanted poster with her own face on it to the ground in front of Madison the charge being the slaughter of an multiple children and their parents, “To be a killer is to understand the consequences of your actions, Once that blood is there Madison there is NO going back, life is life, and Survival is all we can do after all does the wolf lay in it’s spot and die when challenged? IT FIGHTS.” With a quick motion she would take one of her spears and impale the man’s hand obvious black getting worse over his entire arm from the wound. With a glare she would stare down at Madison again, “So tell me Madison, have you killed someone? Did you take their life with your hands? I ask not because I wish to be another judge and jury, but because I know how to help you learn to work with the feelings that come with it.” Turning her eyes to the mage who at this point passed out from the pain she would slit her own hand with her spear and grab his face the sounds of sizzling flesh and bone as she melted down his face with her corrosive blood ringing through the streets now empty from the panic.

Some time left by herself made her anger and frustrations calm down. Not that having legal mages made things any easier, but the fact of the matter behind what was asked of her made things beyond what she would ever talk about in public. Whether she had to accept she was a dark mage or not, she refused to do things the same way that Sayrn had wanted. She was a part of something she detested her whole life, but she did it for different reasons than probably anyone else would care to listen to. Pacing back and forth more, she'd try to calm herself down as much as she could, not wanting to make things any worse for herself now that she was out and in front of passerby's that could easily see how frustrated she was.

The sound of screaming and panicked fleeing from inside had made her pause in her step. Turning to watch, people were pushing one another aside to flee as if they were avoiding wanting to be killed. Instantly, she knew what was going on inside... And quite frankly she was more enraged than she had wanted to be. Her eyes would glow bright red as she walked back in, now infuriated by the actions taken. She stood upon the scene before her, having missed all Sayrn did, she still managed to see the fallout of it. She remained silent as she had given her a lecture, looking down at the poster and too enraged at the moment to care for what it said. She would walk over and grip the woman up by the clothes and slam her body into the wall, growling angrily. "You wanna know? YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW!?" The force would grow stronger, applying pressure from her own self buffing while she continued to keep her stare.

"I killed two people in my whole life! One I pray for every night to repent my own sins, the other I have no regrets over! Take a guess on who that is?" She would start to smirk at the flashes of memories from that day skipped through. "I KILLED HARRIGAN HIMSELF!" Without even noticing, her face would start to contort to a sadistic like smirk and even chuckle a bit. "Broke his ribs with a single kick, and then held him down while the pierced lung and my own hands wrapped around his throat had sucked out all of his air!" Finally, she let her grip go and huffed, letting that last bit of anger leave her. Still, her eyes remained bright red, looking at what was left of the corpse of the light mage. "Tch.. Did you really have to make such a mess?" She shook her head, folding her arms at her chest and relocating her eyes to the other red head. "Now, I can imagine the day is ruined? It'll get out you're here. Won't be very long until the Rune Knights are dispatched." Her voice turned calm and relaxed, not wanting to rile herself up again.

Watching the child's tantrum she would be slammed into the wall feeling the force from what she could only assume to be effects of the anger itself or self increases to strength through magic as her own eyes glared down at the child. Once she heard her sins and the reaction to her finishing of the mage she would nod her head and raise a hand bringing it down onto Madison as a loud and shrill slapping sound rang through the street. In a moment Sayrn’s own eyes would begin to glow a bright red as she would glare at the child and she would begin to clap in an almost sarcastic way, “Good job you killed two people and became a big bad killer, what next? You shall feel bad for the death of an ant?” Her sarcasm unknown to most was how she began to talk when anger began to fuel her as that glare and an almost lethal aura surrounded Sayrn herself, “First you lie to me on an initial standard which I can let go due to shame you might have felt, but my goodness slamming your mother into a wall?” Venom would quickly snake out from her feet jabbing into Madison’s body as pain would begin to rupture through her as if her very blood were on fire, “Really must I teach you a lesson? Harrigan’s death was a GOOD thing and those you are forced to kill? Why pray for them, do not waste your breath telling me it is to pray for their immortal souls, if they were good people then let the judge be god themselves not yourself.” With a sigh she would let up on the poison as her eyes would continue to glare at Madison, “The real reason you pray is not for them, you pray for yourself to absolve your guilt feeling that maybe you can hide your sin behind a wall of faith and that is nothing but a waste of the life you took, if you REALLY want to repent, live your own life, don’t let THEIR loss of life have been in vain. That first kill got you to kill a being like Harrigan correct? Then don’t stand still on this road over one death that could have been avoided, don’t stop keep walking.”

Once she calmed down her hair would shorten and turn lavender much like her eyes soon to follow their red glow turning blue as she suppressed her aura which would cause her eyes to simply be the soft lavender they were before. Offering a hand to Madison she would sigh, “And this is why I am not worried, I can change my appearance don’t forget~ Any dark mage worth their salt knows how to do this in one form or another.” With a final sigh she would lean down and hug the child even if they did not want so, “I consider you my child but seriously the irony here is that your Tantrum probably attracts more attention than my actions.” With a pat to the child's head she would once again offer her hand.

The anger she held towards having let it all out at one time was slowly fading away, however in a moments notice she felt it had all gone away. With no sense of vision outside of seeing the red headed woman before her, her vision was tunneled towards her. So much so that a heavy and incredibly hard slap to her face caused all of the anger to swiftly vanish. The cheek inflicted by her slap pulsed as her face almost instantly shifted from one of pure anger, to one of surprise and pain. "S-she hit.. me..." She mouthed silently, trying to accept the fact that her normally kind attitude was met with now nothing but someone whom was upset or even angry with her outburst. The way she spoke oozed with sarcasm, of which never sat very well with Madison in the first place, but her mind was a little more focused still on her being cracked across the face. The tone may not have surely made it seem as such, but more to the fact of how Madi took it made her think of it as sarcasm.

Before she could even begin to reply, she felt a stinging pain in her food for just a moment before she fell down onto her knees, writhing in pain all over and holding back as much as she could in screaming from the pain while she was lectured. The pain was overbearing, it made even breathing something incredibly difficult to do for a moment. When she finally felt the pain let up, she coughed several times and panted hearing her speak again, looking up as she worked her way to recovering from that sudden incredible pain. "What I pray for... is none of your flipping business. If I choose to feel some way, you don't DARE to change my way of thinking!" She slowly stood up onto her feet, wobbling a little until she felt her footing perfectly still. "And another thing! You are not my mother, and if you think you can change that too, by all means I'm all ears to hear your strategy to do that? Because no little instance will ever make me deter from my faith or the morals I grew up on." Her breathing would return to normal, having gotten both her pain under control as well as her balance back, she stood staring straight into Sayrn's eyes.

Just then, the woman thought it be a good plan to change her appearance right in front of her, flaunting her skill before her about how she could so willingly change looks without any fear of pain. That and her boasting over different dark mages being able to do so created a bit of a smirk on her face. "So, let me get this straight. You go out and kill people, get infamous and a bounty, then hide behind another face because you're afraid? You're a coward as is every other dark mage who does so! If you have the Gaul to commit the crimes, stand up and face the public then!" Again, she stopped as her face as as close as she could to Sayrn's.

Her eyes came down upon the child as their tantrum began to continue almost a sudden full circle coming upon her as her eyes glowed a deep azure and her glare would not be taken off the child now in her face, “I was not stopping you from thinking a certain way, think back to what I said I asked if you thought that your praying for their souls did anything, next I questioned the true reasons behind the prayer, if I had wanted you not to do as you wish I would have locked you in the lab end of story, Instead I questioned your motivations for the prayer and came up with a likely hypothesis.” With a step she she would push Madison back with her posture and glare alone, “Next you asked me and have BEEN asking me to be your mother this entire time something I myself am not comfortable with and yet you stand here and forget your facts in anger.” One more step this time the azure glow gets stronger, “And finally the fool who goes out looking the same everywhere they go ends up dead because they did not play right. You said it yourself if the full force of the rune knights come then what? More mages come, and if more mages come death could ensue, the SMART thing to do is to have a second appearance on hand not only so you can do normal life things without worry of having to FIGHT every damn trip but also so that you can play life smart. You talk the big talk saying how it is cowardice but guess what, the coward that lives another day is smarter than the IDIOT that waltz's around without a care for what attention they got cause guess what? WHO LIVE ANOTHER DAY.” With a sigh she would finish her rant and remove her Ouroboros Telos from the mage their body turned to bones by her poisons.


Stepping off the bones she would begin to walk away, “You asked me for help so I began to try and give it to you, I would have let you go yet you hounded me for information and help, I try and gain as much info to help you best and you not only lie to me but you also try and throw my help back in my face.” Turning her head back she would glare at the child, “Out of my sight, I need to calm down right now and so do you… Rune Knights will be here soon so I have a request, IF YOU THINK YOU MADE A MISTAKE IN JOINING ME TALK TO THEM AND GO BACK TO PHARAOH'S CALL.” Her anger could be felt in the yell as her aura flared to life and the ground beneath her began to corrode as the stone quickly looked as if it had taken hundreds of years of water damage before she would walk away. Once she had reached a certain distance she would almost crumple down and sit in the darkness of the alleyway a voice ringing in her head from olden times back when she was in Lamia Scale, “You don’t get it Kihia… I’m a monster! I will never amount to anything as I am…” Tears would well up her mind racing as old habits would kick in her nails digging into her own flesh as she slowly began to rake at her own skin with her nails slowly pulling down strips of it as her blood ran down her arm and dripped onto the ground. She knew she over reacted she knew that she had been dealing with other feelings at the same time but what was said could not be fixed, she knew that her life was flipped by actions she could not take back and yet here she stood a second child most likely estranged and old habits from her life never dying a cycle she could never feel would be broken, a cycle she knew only as constant despair.

In an angered state, the smaller of the two red heads had tried not to start attacking Sayrn from the explosive attitude she had displayed. She hated some of the things that came with the choices she made when she decided to leave, but she had to accept it, and everything that came with it. Someone as sound and straight forward as Sayrn was someone that Madison needed to be able to fully cope with this transition and get used to it, however from each little bit she threw back at her for what she'd yelled, she gave nothing but calm replies, though the glare in her eyes showed a seering rage. The very stare paralyzed her from wanting to reply to her at all as she continued to rip into her about the things she'd said before, things that she recollected in saying and only feeling more and more sorry about what she'd said.

She could only watch as Sayrn began to walk away, with one final saying, she left her there to stare at the last spot she'd seen her walking to. Tears started to well up in her eyes before she dropped to her knees, sobbing. With a second to just let her feelings out, she shook the rest back up and wiped her eyes away. Her mind was set and it felt now that they both got something out of their systems... Or at least she had. Standing up, Madi began to walk the same way Sayrn had gone. She found her albeit curdled up, the smell of blood only coupled with the sight of her nail peeling away at her own skin. Madi would run over and drop down to her knees, arms wrapped tightly around Sayrn's body, her head laying against her as well. "Please don't do this to yourself. You were right, and I was way out of line before..." Her embrace tightened and her tears started to stream down her face again, refusing to let go until she finished. "I'm just not used to this, but you're the only one who could help." Pausing, she would slide around and kneel right in Sayrn's face, taking her hands away from her clawed up skin and smiling. "Forget the spa. I want you to take me somewhere and get right to work. Teach me everything. I refuse to hold you back over silly things, but I can only do that through you're teachings." With a smile, she would lean in and kiss Sayrn on the cheek. "I'll be a good girl, Mama. I promise." With a growing smile, Madi would giggle and wait to hear the womans reply.

Lost in thought her mind racing with emotion and memories as the same words she told her once guild ace and master continued to ring in her mind. She would continue to flay her own arm a once held habit out of hatred for her old self, a body consumed with mutation and an appearance that made others afraid. Such was life for the woman that no matter her personality or previous actions she always played the outcast a woman others would mock and call a monster chasing her for her dangers. Lamia Scale at the time was the only safe haven a place she could find respect and happiness and yet it all drifted away with time now. Once she finished her mulling over memories she would snap back to reality the feeling of touch on her skin causing her eyes to widen as she could only look stunned tears coming from her eyes as she stared forwards from the shock. She would listen to the apology of Madison finally coming back enough to look down to them with her eyes as she continued her speech.

Watching them slide in front and kneeling in front of her face she would be stunned unable to speak either that her words and actions had not pushed them away or for the fact that she herself was approached so easily after such a threat. She could feel her hands being taken from her skin still bleeding as her bodies nature began to rapidly heal it, “T-Teach you everything huh…” She could barely feel her emotions right now her mind still stunned from this sudden recovery as she would almost begin to crumple in more before she was kissed on the cheek. Listening to Madison’s final words she would tear up slightly holding everything back when she would grab her and pull her in hugging them tightly, “Listen Madison… You are my daughter now… Whether you think it good or bad… You are MY daughter… IF you wish to learn from me then together we shall begin this lesson… It will be painful, it will be long and most importantly when you come out of it you will become MUCH stronger than you were before.” As her arm healed she would get up from her spot patting Madison’s head and giving a soft smile before turning to the sounds of the Rune Knights coming, “We shall head outside of Hosenka for now, It does not matter WHERE I teach you only that we don’t get interrupted at all.” Holding out a hand to the child she would give a soft understanding smile, “So would Madison Firrion like to come with her mother? Sorry if you wish not to take in the last name…”

One thing was certain when it had come to the emotional trials in Madi's life, and that was that she'd never let them get in the way of her pursuits. Of course, that didn't mean that she wasn't for keeping or getting caught up with the sudden sparks of emotional outbursts such as the one she'd just had with Sayrn, but that was something she'd kept pent up and let build and build until such a moment where she could let it all out. Well when that moment came, the rush of everything else after the anger seemed to just pour right out as well, which had left her to be an emotional wreck for all of a couple minutes. Regret, anger, depression. All of the things that were built up burst out and left itself to give her a clear head once more, one that would have wanted to go apologize and even beg for the forgiveness of her attitude, if Sayrn would even care to speak to her at the time.

From the initial moment that the smaller red head wrapped her arms around Sayrn, she knew there was some surprise in how she had been touched. Her own desire to breakdown was extremely surprising, but she figured if anything, it was the same case that Madi was in where she'd be holding back everything for some reason or another. Smiling, she nodded at the quiet words Sayrn had said aloud about her wanting to be taught everything. Of course, if she wanted to be useful to her, she had to know what was necessary, or there would be absolutely no point in having joined with her. A blush and a surprising look on her face popped right up as she was pulled into a hug. "Whatever's required to be the best daughter ever, I'll do it." She softly replied before she watched the woman stand up, holding out a hand as the sound of Rune Knights began to approach them. "As you wish, mother. I'll follow in your steps from here on out." Pulling herself up, she would smile and hold tightly onto Sayrn's hand. "But as for the name, I will accept it, however for those that already know me.. I will still go by Richter. I won't arouse suspicion in those I know purely over a name, where as I can just remain as if I'm still myself." Of course, this was just a sound reason she wanted to give, though she didn't know if Sayrn would abide by it or not.

Nodding her head at the reasoning she would bend down and pick up Madison, “I understand, that is alright, to rouse suspicion would be a fool's errand.” With speed she would carry the child out of the city slowly arriving at the outskirts as she would sit behind the trees around the area with her daughter the sounds of Rune Knights entering the city loud, “Now then, to do what I plan to help you out, I will not beat around the bush it is going to be excruciatingly painful.” Holding out a hand and petting her child's hair she would smile, “But I have confidence that you can do this, I plan to use a forbidden magic, one that will shorten my own lifespan, which in a life where I have a LONG time to live means nothing~” With a sigh she would look down at Madison and quickly hug them tight, “With that warning out of the way…” Quickly backing off she would without warning or hesitation drive her hand through Madison’s chest grabbing the Lacrima within as in moments as Sayrn channeled magic the world around them would begin to twist until nothing was left but a white and endless void the ground being a concept they simply had to accept was there. The world seemed empty at first but in a moment Sayrn would remove her hand blood coating her hand as she would simply swipe her hand to the ground as the blood turned white the moment it hit the ground. In seconds the void would repair the damage to Madison’s body as if nothing had ever happened and Sayrn would smile, “Welcome to the void!~ While in here time works different! One day outside the void is ONE YEAR in here.” Pointing to Madison she would smile, “And for three years I plan to train you, I want to teach you a lot of what I know on bodily modification, mainly because your dragon form seems to be the most efficient and likely way for one to deal with the lack of a disguise you have!”

As she finished speaking she would sigh, “Seems the void is taking it’s toll again…” In moments her hair once lavender would turn a stark and pure white like snow, her skin turning pale in the blink of an eye while in a twist her eyes seemed to glaze over and with a grand sigh Sayrn would shake her head. Snapping her fingers her outfit would change heavily to more like a battle maids as one would explain as a black fabric covered her now defunct eyes, “give it time, they will come back, my body does not like the effects of this place, but it knows when to adapt.” Without any help she would walk over to Madison and give her a hug petting her hair and back, “Sorry mother had to tear her hand into your chest~ But it requires the usage of a lacrima to channel the spell!” With that said she would back up and “look” down at Madison, “So what would you like to learn first?~”
