Vulcans. Such fickle creatures, and after her last experience with them, the ace wasn't too excited to be facing them once more.
This was a dangerous mission. She knew that. Caught off guard, and Shizuka or herself could be swept away by the perverted ape creatures, just like she was last time. But, the job posters seemed desperate. The village's food supply was getting low, and the mages who went into these woods either never came back out, or were barely alive then they did.
Because of this, she would have gone alone, figuring it was too much of a risk for anyone else in the guild aside from an extremely small handful of capable mages. But Shizuka, had been persistent about going with her. So, after denying her the first couple of times, eventually, the ace broke, and allowed the girl to come with her. But under one condition. She had to do everything she said, no questions asked. If the ace told her to run back to the village, she had to, no questions asked. She figured, if anything, this would be good experience for the young mage. This was a pretty normal job after all. It would expose her to what it meant to go on a regular job. Nothing like a D-rank job, which was usually just odd jobs around towns. This was C-rank. These jobs, while not being too tough, was at least tougher than D-rank jobs. This would get Shizuka ready for when she could take these kinds of jobs on her own.
"Follow close behind me, okay, Shizuka?" The slayer's head turned to the small mage who was hopefully following behind her. After visiting around the villages who were getting their food stolen, a village elder had finally pointed the two of them toward Spooky Forest. A good name for it... It was quite spooky. It lived up to the name. A dark, chilling atmosphere was dominant within the creepy wood. And it was rather dark. Not just the lighting, but it was like someone painted the entire forest black. The trees were bare. Though it was natural in the winter, it still didn't feel natural. And the path was weirdly clean, as if there was someone always picking up the falling debris... Someone, or, something...
But, Astrid had to keep her calm. She could not show the forest was getting to her. She had to protect her guild mate. And if her guild mate saw how anxious she was, she too would become anxious. That wasn't good for either of them. So the ace did her best to try and stay calm on the outside, her gaze shifting from side to side in search of any sign for Vulcans, keeping her senses under control so she would be able to tell if any where coming from any direction.

In the forest Shizuka and Astrid walked, Shizuka, who was more like Astrids neice since she looked after her, was a bit nervous. She looked around seeing each tree was bare with no colorful leaves or any type of fruits on them, Shizuka agreed to Astrids terms and followed her aunty closely by the whole way. Really though, what were Vulcans? she had never seen them in fact never even heard of them, you could guess that was why she was drawn to wanting to take this job with her aunty Asty and truthfully this was a C rank job! This was her first C rank Job too! This was her first job with her aunty as well so this was a big day for her in general.
"Yes Aunty Asty" Shizuka said gripping the straps of her backpack tighter as she looked around, she still hadnt toild Astrid by this time that she had a bit of a hearing problem but she wouldnt let that get to her, she had to be brave with Astrid she had to shwo she was able to take these jobs and have nerves of steel like her aunt and father and his pet, but this forest...something was not right with it, she didnt like it at all, sh gulped as she then looked forward as she thought she saw something black move quickly through the trees, it made her gasp as she grabbed hold of Astrids hand then pointed to the area infront of her "A-Aunty Asty! I saw something big in....t-those trees" crap this was not helping her nerves at all but on a job like this, whatever these Vulcans were they werent to be taken lightly
Shaking her head she then lightly pinched her cheeks "I-I must be seeing stuff sorry Aunty..." that was before well they heard a gigantic raor come from within the forest that sent shockwaves through Shizuka's spine and gave her goosebumps like she was in the middle of an iceblock, she then grabbed her aunts hand tighter looking to see where it came from, but luckily Shizuka didnt come unprepared since she didnt have her magic active right now at all, she could at least in a way be helpful if they were in a predictament like with these Vulcans depending on how many there was and after that roar...this wasn't gonna be good at all if the thing that roared appeared to face the two wizards.

Having not seen the shadow the young mage had caught, the slayer tensed as the young girl grabbed her hand, being on edge from her search. Though quickly relaxed once more, taking only a mere second to know who it was.
Curious, the ace glanced down to Shizuka, feeling her small grip tightening upon her hand.
Upon the young girl's warning Astrid followed her pointing finger to rest her eyes on some trees in the distance. However, when she looked, there was nothing there but the ever lasting darkness. It could in fact have just been Shizuka's nerves. Being nervous in such a creepy place like this was going to make you believe you were seeing things that weren't really there, no doubt about it. But Astrid had a bad feeling... There was a chance she might have actually seen something, and that made her all the more uneasy.
Feeling the girl's grip become even tighter, she used her free hand to push Shizuka behind her back protectively, crimson eyes narrowing, staring out into the dark, foreboding wilderness.
"I don't think you're just seeing stuff..." She could feel them, their auras. Heavy and dark. They were surrounding the two like a pack of wild animals closing in on their prey. The roar in the distance only confirmed that further.
After a roar, followed a moment of silence. Eerie silence. The kind of silence they used in movies before the killer attacked so the jump scare would have more impact on the audience.
But it seemed as though these vulcans weren't so good at that.
She heard a branch break not too far away to her left. Having heightened reflexes, the slayer instantly reacted.
A silver glow quickly overtook a clenched fist, pulsating brightly. Just then, a green ape lunged out of the darkness with a loud roar. Its jaw hinged wide open and arms stretched forward, almost like it was aiming to bite the ace. But, surprise. Astrid was faster. Wasting no time the light mage threw her fist down into its face, sending it crashing into the ground. The dirt ground flew up slightly, a deep crater formed as the dust cloud dispersed, where the vulcan now laid unconscious, eyes swirling comedically, drool escaping its open mouth, a big, red bruise forming where the slayer had punched it near the forehead.
Astrid retracted her fist, shaking it slightly, surprised by the fact that it actually kinda hurt to punch it. Not in a pain where she would lose HP over it, but the kind where she defiantly left her wrist pop a little. These guys had tough skins... But not tough enough, she guessed.
"Well, they certainly don't take much to put down." She commented lightly, staring down at her work, twirling her wrist to try and stop the stinging pain a little.

Seeing the display that was her aunts strength when she took out that vulcan who just jumped them which was unbelievable at how fast they were but Astrid was WAY WAY faster then she could have ever imagined it was almost like a blink of light that just flashed before her eyes and at the same time she saw just the Vulcan get indented into the ground which made her smile at her aunts strength, she was a few steps behind her since the power made a bit of like gust push her back.
But that stopped when she felt something standing over her, it made her heart drop as she turned around seeing another green Vulcan stood behind her as and it just glared at her in silence, she felt the color drain from herself as she stepped back slowly as it soon brough up its hand and then tried to swing down right at the poor 9 year old girl, luckily Shizuka had the where with all to just run before it could hit her but the impact it made behind her caused her to go tumbling forward fast as she came to a stop after hitting a few big rocks against her back mking her cry out in pain making some tears sting her eyes, it wasnt enough to loose hp on but it did daze her as she laid there trying to get to at least her hands and knees, hell she had a weapon for this but she needed to stand up to use it since it was a bit bigger then her, the Vulcan though was making its way towards Shizuka by the time she got to a vertical base, she was terrified, she had no magic but she had to defend herself as she gulped and held out her hand, in a purplish white beam of light a glaive appeared in her right hand as it stood a good 6 feet tall, two feet taller then she was, but she had to hold on to it to at least try and give her an advantage against this beast, she still had no clue what this thing did, it was bought for her and she needed to figure it out for herself well...hopefully now she can in this encounter.

The loud pound against the ground brought the slayer's attention to a new Vulcan that had appeared. Eyes instantly searching the area to make sure Shizuka was okay, they widened with worry as they spotted the girl on what seemed to be the edge of tears, upon her knees a little further away, obviously hurt. Exactly what the slayer had been afraid of.
"Shizuka!" Astrid called out to the young mage, readying her fist once more to try and attack the Vulcan towering over Shizuka. But before she could, three more vulcans shot out of the woods and surrounded the ace in a flash, grinning widely, deep rumbling noises escaping the throats, looking down upon Astrid menacingly with bright white eyes. The slayer brought her fist down, though the silver glow remained.
"Merde" she grumbled under her breath, frustrated by the sudden flank. It would seem that the Vulcans have now recognized her at the main danger by using suck tactics, and in some ways, they were right to think that.
A deep frown curved onto the silver haired girl's lips, looking to each ape monster individually. "You know, i was hoping this could all be resolved peacefully. But that ended when you decided to attack my little niece."
Soon enough, the entirety of the woman's body was surrounded in a silver glow, licking off her body rapidly like the flames of a forest fire.
In response, the apes pounded their chests, hollering and hooting, as if to taunt her. Unlucky for them, the ace didn't take to kindly to taunting.
A circle pulse flung out from the powerful glow, making a echoing smack as it made contact with the three surrounding Vulcans. The Vulcans, caught off guard, were flung backwards onto the forest ground. One of the Vulcans flung back into the one towering over Shizuka, causing it to roar in pain as the unconscious body of its comrade forced it too onto the ground. The Vulcan laid there, rubbing its head where the other Vulcan had hit it, groaning. But the Vulcan soon forgot about the pain as it looked up, noticing movement within its eyesight. It flailed about, scared howls escaping its mouth as it realized who it was. An angry Astrid, looming over its body, glaring down at it with bright crimson eyes. The ace's aura still held that menacing glow to it, the glow that could put a bloodthirsty dragon in its place.
The slayer stared at the vulcan, and only stared for a few moments before raising her right leg backwards and kicking the vulcan in the face.
The vulcan, fell unconscious, a bright red shoe mark embedded upon its face, along with a few broken teeth.

Shizuka watched as the Vulcan who was towering over her was knocked down to the ground in a huge bust of speed and three other Vulcans had been decimated by her Aunt, they were gone luckily but she stopped and just felt her body just hit her knees as the glaive clanged to the ground as she panted trying to collect her nerves but it was hard for her to do so as she started crying as her tears started dropping to the soil as she kept herself from wailing out but still the sound of her crying was prevelant as she punched the ground "I-I....I couldn't....I couldn't hear him...I-If I did...I-I wouldn't" she mutter out as she tried to stop her crying as she even now started hiccupping, she felt like she was not helping at all, and this hearing problem of hers almost costed her, she felt her body go numb in a way, was this adrenaline wearing off, or was she crying so much, either way she tried to make herself stop crying and sit back against the rocks she had hit from the Vulcans impact wiping her eyes with the sleeve of her pink jacket, eyes a bit red and puffy from crying, she tried to make herself stop crying and act like a big girl, that way she hoped Astrid would't think of her as weak, it was sorta flashback to before she was captured as a slave, she didn't have her magic nor a weapon then and couldnt help no one and it made her feel weak and useless, she didn't wanna feel like that no more she wanted that to change and change soon, before anything worse happened to her or those who were close to her that she loved very dearly.

Shizuka's cries managed to bring the slayer back from her angered state. Blinking crimson optics, her expression softened, looking from the passed out vulcan to the crying girl. Her gaze widened as the situation hit her. Hard. The poor thing must have been terrified from the ape creature. She almost got pounded to a pulp after all.
The ace's heart sank, and panic took over, flushing any remaining anger out of her system.
"Shizuka..." The slayer hurried over to the young mage quickly, kneeling down upon one knee once in front of her. Without a second thought, Astrid softly embraced the child, pulling her into her chest. Maybe she shouldn't have brought her along, she was in tears just after one fight. What if there had been more vulcans? The ace wouldn't have been able to fend off more than she did... And if that had happened...
The light mage shushed Shizuka, stroking the back of her head gently. "It's okay, we all make mistakes. It wasn't your fault."
Pulling away from the embrace, Astrid offered the girl a small smile, patting the top of her head.
"But now, you know how serious missions are. You need to be very careful, especially with ones above D-rank. As unbelievable as it sounds, there are far, far tougher missions than this. Some may even bring you close to death. But that's the risk you're willing to take when helping people. Because that's what guilds are about. Especially, what Golden Phoenix is about."
Placing a hand upon Shizuka's shoulder, the ace's tone turned serious, deeply gazing into the girl's green orbs.
"Knowing this, and having witnessed a higher ranked mission first hand... Do you still want to be a mage?"
It was a serious question. A very serious question. But it was one that needed to be answered truthfully. If Shizuka wanted to continue on in the guild, she would have to accept this as soon as possible.

Re: Strange Vulcans pt1 • Private, Job [Shizuka]
by Shizuka Hebi 3rd January 2017, 9:10 pm
Shizuka was embraced by her aunty, this made her teary eyed again but she kept herself from crying as her aunt talked to her to calm her nerves, she listened to her as she felt the warmth of her closeness to her. But the question that was asked by her aunt caught her off guard, she didn't know how to answer it, she was only 9 almost 10 and she had just caught her first fight and broke down after it, she didnt deserve to be a mage after that....but deserving and wanting was two different things, and Shizuka WANTED to be a mage, so looking up she sniffed and rubbed her nose "Yes....i want to be a mage Aunty Asty, i wanna be a mage that helps like you and daddy does, i wanna make sure people dont get hurt" she looked up to her aunts face locking eye contact with her, even if she was scared that was part of being human really, and Shizuka experienced that first hand the hard way.
She then gulped as she had to tell her aunt now before anymore Vulcans appeared "Aunty Asty...i can't....i can't hear good, it has to be really loud...or really close for me to hear them talking" she pointed to her ears, it started happening when she was on the slave boats under Scarlet, she started having problems then but she did her best to live with it and not let people know the condition she had cause she was worried how people would react and treat her for having bad hearing, in fact telling her aunt she didnt know how she would react to her as well.
But all things aside right now, soon another roar, a bigger roar then the last one happened as Shizuka squeaked and clench Astrids clothing as she looked around trying to see where this roar was coming from, this one sounded bigger and louder then the other ones from the regular Vulcans that Astrid had taken out so easily, by this time Shizuka had her glaive beside her on the ground ready in case she needed it, and this time she would be ready to use it and not be scared...she had to...she didn't want her Aunt to take them all on by her self, she wanted to show she could be a mage and live up to Astrids words.

A warm smile grew upon the Rising Star's lips. Shizuka was willing to still become a mage, even at this young age. It was admirable.
Those small green orbs held a burning fire of passion within them, even when laced with tears. Yet again Shizuka reminded the slayer of when she was younger. She too held such passion within her. At times, she was almost afraid she'd explode with it. Why was this young girl so much like her? If you didn't know they weren't blood related, you would actually think they were aunt and niece.
"That's a very brave thing to commit to. I'm sure you'll grow up to be a wonderful mage" she smiled brightly. But the smile did not last for long, as the child began spouting personal knowledge upon her. It has to be close for her to hear?
The ace's head tilted lightly to the side in question. What did she mean?
But before she could linger upon it much further, an enormous roar erupted from the forest behind them, causing Astrid to turn around quickly. More vulcans? What a bother. She thought that had been the last of them... Looked like they had backup.
A flash of light appeared beside the woman before it materialized into a golden sword, falling into her hand with a neat catch.
She arose from her knelt position, crimson eyes narrowing into the woods, scanning for any signs of more vulcans.
"Time to show them what you've got, petite dame." She glanced down, giving Shizuka a confident grin. This time, she would be careful with the girl. While Astrid wanted to see her use her power, she also knew she was just a kid, untrained and a rookie. She would be there to back her up, but right now, Shizuka had the spotlight.

Shizuka looked to her aunt who was now standing with her sword in hand as well, she blinked and slowly stood up cluthching her glaive in her hands, there was more of those beasts out there, and they were more so trying to harm her and her aunty...no she couldnt think of stuff like that, she couldnt think of the bad things she had to buck up and be a big girl now and be brave, even Astrid was wanting to see her do this and wanting her to do good, she was gonna live up to her words.
When she looked forward a few more Vulcans stood there but towering behind them was a larger vulcan, it seemed to command the lesser ones underneath it, this one made Shizuk gulp nervously as she then sighed and then saw that one of the Vulcans was already charging looking to jump at the two mages, out of sheer fear she thrusted the galive as it pointed skyward, out towards the Vulcan and what happened next was a bit strange, the Vulcan was stopped....just stopped, nothing was there just, nothing and when then Vulcan tried to punch them, it seemed to punch an invisible wallit amazed her as she and Astrid were protected by it, she started feeling better that she could protect her and her aunty, but she didnt wanna kill unless nessacarry but this time she took the metal staff of the glaive and swung it down fast and hard as she could as it collided with the skull of the Vulcan as it was a loud crack as the Vulcan was smacked to the ground from the impact as it laid there with what looked like swirly eyes and it was outcold, she was amazed smiling at her aunty as she gripped her glaive tighter and nodded to her aunt, if this glaive that she got was this good she wondered what was in this glaive hopefully it could do more then just block attacks, but slowly the glaive started having a purple dim shine to it, Shizuka didnt know it, nor did Astrid but something stirred within it.

The ace wasn't entirely sure what had happened between the time where the vulcan was moving about and when it was laid down upon the floor, passed out cold. It had happened so fast and in such little time. She blinked, and she missed. At least that's what she assumed happened, for she hadn't seen impact...
But what had happened wasn't what she should be thinking about. Shizuka managed to take down a vulcan, all by herself. With such little effort too. The slayer was proud.
She gave the younger mage a gentle smile. "Well done. That's one done. Now lets finish off the rest~"
Keeping a careful eye on the four remaining vulcans in front of them, the ace stepped a small step backwards.
"I'll be right here if you need me. I already took out my amount. I want to see you take out yours."
Hopefully it was not too much to ask the child. They needed to take out ten of these things. Astrid had already taken out five. The other half, was now for Shizuka to knock out. If anything went wrong, the slayer was sure to interfere and take them out herself... But she was curious to see what Shizuka could do...

Oh crud...Shizuka blinked as her aunty stood back watching to make sure she would be ok, and let Shizuka to deal with these Vulcans...even the one that looked like a giant in the back as well, was now left up to shizuka to defeat, this made her gulp as she looked back at her aunt but nod, she had to do this, to show she could hold her own weight in jobs like this
Clutching her glaive she nodded as another one of the Vulcans came charing in at her, she wasnt use to this but she had to do something, so out of instinct she jumped to the side missing the swing of one of the Vulcans arms as she skidded to the side, and took a stance holding on to the glaive as she then ran at it and then thrusted the glaive forward as it stuck into the vulcans side cleanly but only ging about halfway up the blade before it stopped, she remembered that usually weapon owners had a stance so she quickly pulled back and stood away from the Vulcan, hoping it could maybe impress Astrid, Shizuka held the glaive in a balanced stance, her little hands holding onto the metal shalft of the glaive at the middle and towards the bottom, the blade, now soaked in red vulcan blood, pointed at her avesary across from her, her right hoot was the lead between the two as the back one was behind it, obviously there was flaws in her stance but that could be taken up at another time.
The Vulcan didnt seem fazed by the side stab it only enraged it, roaring at her it charged again but Shizuka didnt flinch, she had to be calm like her aunty asty so as it charged she stood her ground, until it was right up on her looking to bring both fists down onto her but thats where the glaive shone, being longer then Shizuka gave her an edge, and as it was rearing up to slam, there was a quick slicing and twisting of flesh noise that came soon after words. The sounds was of the glaives blade being thrusted into the throat, clear in and out the back of the throat of the Vulcan and then it was twisted to the side and then jerked out the side of the throat, slicing it, basically shizuka cut half of the throat of the vulcan off, blood spewed from the wound as it tried to close it with its owns hands. It was futile as the amount of blood loss was to much as the Vulcan growled roaring a bloody sound of voice and blood as the Vulcan collapsed to its knees and then to its side, twitching loosing function of its body as Shizuka breathed shakily as she shook her head tightening her grip to steel herself to make herself ready for the rest of the Vulcans, three left now...if anything she had to take these all three out quickly.
Seeing their dead Vulcan...well breatheren one outcold and one dead enranged the other two lesser Vulcans and then also enraged the bigger Vulcan to the point the both started she got wide eyed as they were rushing her, she took steps back as she saw them, but this was worst case scenario but she stopped as she looked at her glaive, she remembered that the glaive had a spell and she looked at the glaive and then held it up into the air "DEATH! REBORN!...." she then focused and yelled out with all her might "REVOLUTION!" as she yelled that a bright purple ray emminated around her and her glaive as she swung it down at yelling as she did so at the vulcans, when that happened what looked like ribbons came flying out of the light and ensnaring the Vulcans, even the unconcious one and the dead one too, Shizuka was terrified of these things and she didnt want to anymore and because of that the amount of energy put into the spell was emensive, but as it ensnared the Vulcans the pupled light then shot forward encompesing the vulcans as their yells and roars echoed as they could be visibaly seen disentigrating into nothing not even powder, in fact for a good 200 yards past the vulcans was charred or what looked like to be completely deadend trees, luckily no animals, soon the Ribbons held nothing as as they retracted to the purple beam of light and then the light faded from Shizuka.
Seeing the Vulcans gone was a releif to Shizuka but...something was wrong, she took tiny steps forward as she panted hard, sweating as well as tears streaming down her eyes now...she looked towards Astrid and she chuckled weakly "Heh...A-Aunty...Asty..." she slowly fully turned towards her as smiled weakly "I-I...I-I did it...I...beat them...I-Im...not scared...anymore" she then dropped her glaive as it glanged on the ground and then Shizuka soon collapsed on the ground passing out from such an big use of the spell, it had sapped her energy causing her to pass out on the ground. Who knew such a small child held that much power at her will.
