Frey had begun to grow concerned about what had happened when she took part in the Murder Mystery at Oak Town and taken down the killer there. Everyone who she had saved by doing so? Seemed to think that police should be kept away from her, or that she should stay away from law enforcement for some reason. Young as she was the child knew they were trying to protect her from something, so looking at the job poster for the task she had accepted not too long ago, made her wonder how she was going to pull this off. Completing the job itself? Would be easy enough because it was simply to apprehend a dangerous killer which was something the little girl had already done once. However to receive any reward and have the job considered done, she would need to turn him over to authorities, and apparently she was supposed to stay away from those sort of people. So how could she finish this if she could not turn the criminal in! The ring sitting on her vanity caught her attention as she finished tying up one side of her hair. Ever since Mashyuu had given it to her? The child had simply let the bone object sit there, she couldn’t really think of what to do with it honestly. On one hand she treasured it because Kanix was dead and it was her’s, on the other hand she had her biological family now and wondered if it was betrayal to miss her adoptive mother and want to get to know Mashyuu. Her birth father died without telling her who he was, so it wasn’t stabbing him in the back to want to spend time with her adoptive father, if that was what he still was. Right?

“Silver go find Mashyuu for me and have him meet me at the beanstalk village.” the child picked up the ring which would still a small trace of the earth god slayer’s scent, allowing her wolf to sniff it as they exited her mother’s castle. Once they were out? Silver ran in the opposite direction of Frey, off to find the man she told him to track down. However the way he would convince the male to come with him, that was another story, he really wished frey had wrote a letter for him to carry.

A few hours later Frey was standing at the corner of Beanstalk village, the entry to the tunnels beneath the village. The little princess was in the same outfit as she had been the first time Mashyuu saw her, standing there eating a piece of volcano rock she had gotten somewhere.

Details:

Together with Itsu, Mashyuu was drinking a tall glass of beer after another job done in a swift manner as a way to celebrate without putting himself in any sort of danger at a public place. Just as he finished downing the drink he felt something nudge his leg and looked down to see a wolf. Mashyuu nudged the beast out of the way and bit into a hunk of meat that was bound to a bone. "Get lost dog, this is no place for an animal." Mashyuu grumbled in annoyance. Again the dog grabbed Mashyuu's leg with its mouth and tugged at it slowly. Mashyuu stood up and looked at the thing in annoyance. He smelled the air and shrugged. "Itsu, my daughter is in some sort of trouble, this thing smells just like her so I'm gonna go check things out. Ready to move?" He asked. Itsu stood up and strolled up to Mashyuu's side. "Yup, lets go." She happily said.

Following the Wolf, the Sabertooth Wizards returned to Beanstalk Village, where both of them were born. On the way Mashyuu made sure to let Itsu know that she wasn't to say anything about being Mashyuu's lover before Kanix. Unsure of why she could only agree to do as her friend asked. Coming up from her side Mashyuu patted the young woman on the shoulder and smiled at her. "What's the matter Frey? Miss me already?" He asked and gestured towards Itsu. "Frey, this is my friend Itsu, she was born here in Beanstalk Village just like I was."

Silver was beyond unsure of what to do by the time he found Mashyuu, his mistress had not thought very well, the wolf had no way to directly Tell the earth god slayer what was required of him. Somehow? The canine would accomplish his task, but the blue creature did not quite know how he would go about this, well except for excessively tugging at the man's pant leg until he was paid heed to. Luckily slayer’s were people with some exceptional senses, so the earth wielder was easily able to pick up Frey’s odor on him, which alerted Mashyuu to the fact Rune required his assistance. The wolf was happy it was going so smoothly, so he swiftly turned heel and started a slow run towards the location where the little girl was supposed to be waiting for them, happy to have completed his task without flaw. Within no time the little was in sight and he did not even notice the slight slow of those he was guiding.

“Good Boy Silver!” Frey was instantly using her voice to praise her pet for doing what was requested of him and bringing Mashyuu to her, the girl's tiny arms wrapped around his neck as she kissed his nose and was greeted by his happy bark. However she could not spend all day praising her good boy, no instead she first turned her attention to the plus one she had not invited, pink optics narrowing slightly. The little princess had certainly not counted on a knave cutting in when she had only invited a knight! A sigh was emitted and she really wanted to tell the male to leave his entourage at home next time, but it would have to wait because she really needed this job and scolding them now would only get in the way. Duty first, than she could point out how they messed up, it was her privilege as a princess.

Brushing her pink hair back with one hand she decided it was time to speak to them, small smile on her pale face. “Sorry for having to get Silver to play fetch, it's not as convenient as sending a person, but I didn’t trust any of the castle servants enough to send them.” and the kid was dead serious, but her reason for not trusting the castle serfs was not because of light/dark guild differences, no instead it was because she did not know if her mother would appreciate finding out about Kanix and any mention of Mashyuu to the staff could bring that up eventually, she didn’t want that bridge. “Don’t assume that you're so important for a princess to miss you.” it was huffed out, but from the way she gripped onto his shirt, the words she spoke and her feelings might not exactly line up, especially from the smile on her face as she took several steps back. Though from the angle she was at before it was likely Mashyuu had been able to see the bone ring on a chain choker around her neck beneath her normal choker.“To business though, Some people I interacted with not long ago gave me reason to believe I should avoid law enforcement, not that I know why, but this leaves me with a dilemma because my most recent job is for catching a criminal, I need someone to turn him in for me once he’s caught.” the female did not really have many friend’s she could fall for such a thing, and she knew most people who would accept would want to be the forefront fighter on the job, but it was her job. She figured her adoptive father might at least let her have the spotlight for a little.

Little did they know sometime during this event everyone involved had likely fallen asleep.

The fact that Frey had ignored Itsu was not lost on the Sabertooth Wizards, who simply looked at each other but decided to let Frey get out whatever it was she had to say before anything else was done. It seemed Frey had a job to do that would require her to deal with the Rune Knights for at least a bit. Mashyuu didn't mind helping out since they were clearly going to be taking someone bad out off of the streets and if they were in his home town. Letting out a soft sigh of approval Mashyuu clasped Frey's shoulder and smiled wide. "You did the right thing contacting me. The reason you were told not to contact anyone of high standing in the world is because the guild you are in do evil acts and bad things to people. You just don't se it yet. But I'm glad you're wearing Kanix's ring. I put my power into that ring, maybe one day it will help you." Mashyuu started to walk while gently guiding Frey to his old home in Beanstalk Village.

He pushed the door open to his stone home and motioned for Frey to go into Mashyuu's room and for Itsu to remain in the living room. Once in his room Mashyuu sat down on a seat and looked Frey in the eye. "You need to apologize to my friend out there. Not everyone will be willing to help you when you need it. When I told her you needed me, she didn't ask or pause to come to your aid. Most people are not so good as to help others out without question. Never think you are too good to accept the help of others." Mashyuu explained all while smiling warmly at the daughter he never had the chance to meet. Slowly he stood up and walked out of the room, leaving Frey alone. He stood in the living room with Itsu, going over what they knew about the job, seeing the wanted poster on the board at the Sabertooth guild hall but never picking up the job, unaware that the problem was actually in Beanstalk Village.

"You don't think it's the cult again do you? Last time they were here they were trying to poison all the crops." Itsu expressed concern while glancing over her shoulder. "Could be, or it could be a copy cat killer from years ago. I'm not really sure. Maybe Frey knows more." Mashyuu looked back to see if Frey was coming out of the room, a little worried he was to harsh on her. He really wanted Frey to grow into someone that Kanix would have been proud to have as a daughter and that meant that Mashyuu had to step up a bit and help out whenever he could.

So the ring had been holding power that could have helped her in the past and he just had not bothered telling her until now?! The little girl was slightly concerned by that trying to figure out if there was a time it had already aided her without being realized because of her unaware state. However Frey quickly realized her last few jobs had been too easy, there was nothing the ring would have been able to do that she did not already have the ability to do alone, so it had yet to prove itself. “I haven't noticed anything yet but maybe we'll find something during this.” She would like to know what his magic infused into the ring would do, but they would likely have to wait until they were in combat to find out. Hopefully, it was something really cool like a power boost or making her invincible!

She was as confused as to why Mashyuu was guiding her away from the tunnels and into the village, the child wanted to get this started and finish it so she could sleep in the castle again tonight. “I forgot how small normal houses are.” It as literally the first comment from the girl as she was guided inside. This space? Felt claustrophobic compared to the vast expanse of her birth mother's castle. Rune glanced up as she was spoken to, but did not pay it much heed because no one could really ever tell the little princess anything. If he wanted to change how Frey was and make her a respectable young woman one day? Mashyuu had a long road ahead of him. The child indeed walked into the room, but she didn’t try to do anything, in fact, she really noticed nothing except the fact silver suddenly had a slash across his shoulder. “Where did this come from. Did you try to fight with one of our guildmates again this morning?” she had never seen him attack anyone directly, but Frey did not doubt he wanted to do it and may have done it in the past, so he could have done so before going to fetch her adoptive father today.

“Soo, let’s get going.” the child sounded a bit impatient and she was by this point, the female had come into the job expecting that she would be able to get it done quickly but she felt as if time was standing still for some reason. With this she walked out of the room, hair swaying beside her. “OH MY GOSH!” she exclaimed the words as she opened her eyes wide, seeing this dragon puffing out smoke in the middle of the town, glaring at them.

Seeing Frey completely walk past Itsu as if she wasn't important made Mashyuu fume with anger, his face flushed red while steam almost visibly came out of his hears and mouth. He was about to say something to Frey when Itsu grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back, a sign that it wasn't important but that she was thankful that he had at least tried to do the right thing. "Frey, that ring will never do anything if you don't truly love the person who made it. I made it, it was a sign that Kanix and I would be bound to one another for all of our lives." Mashyuu explained until she walked out of the house, leaving the two alone.

"She is young, give her time to grow as a person. All you can do is help guide her when she needs it. But don't force yourself on the matter either. Things will happen when they are ready to." Mashyuu looked at Itsu, a scowl on his face until the smell of a dragon filled his lungs and nose. Mashyuu rushed out the door, only to see a massive dragon rushing Frey. Mashyuu charged, sliding on his feet to Frey's side where he kicked her as hard as he could out of the way. The dragon unleashing a series of swipes at Mashyuu, each ripping into his flesh as blood spewed from his open wounds, leaving him standing in a staggered position, mostly a standing husk of blood. His mouth opened to cry out in pain but no sound came out. The single series of attacks nearly killed the Wizard, leaving him blinking the pain away. As he started to turn to face the dragon the beast roared and swept it's tail, hitting Mashyuu so hard that he went flying through his home, out of the back end and in a pile of wood for a fire. He laid still, unknowingly drawing energy from the earth itself, slowly healing his wounds as the god inside him screamed with rage, activating a sort of half god force, it's physical qualities showing as it unleashed a faint red aura around Mashyuu. He reached into his pocket and grabbed the ring Kanix had given him, slipping it on to give him a surge of energy and a protective aura. The God inside him scooped up the earth in a clawed hand and started to eat.

Itsu screamed when Mashyuu was batted aside by the beast with such little effort. Her mouth drew in phantom energy before she spit it out, launching a blast of pure arcane energy into the chest of the monster, rocking it for what looked to be a fair bit of damage. Before it could unleash its breath attack Itsu vanished, appearing at the door then vanished again. Each time she reappeared she was closer to the dragon, trying to draw the monsters attention of off Frey and Mashyuu. Itsu looked at Frey for just a moment and shouted. "Frey! If you're a dragon Slayer then slay this thing! Hurry!" The moment Itsu was in striking range she slammed her fist into the monster, breaking scales with the force of her strike before she vanished yet again.

Mashyuu sat up and looked around as his wounds started to heal, only to find that a clawed hand was rushing through the shadows at Mashyuu. He pulled his hand up, causing a wall of stone to rise up and block the strike. He swallowed the stone in his mouth and got up in time to side step a man who was diving down on Mashyuu with a clawed glove. "Stop moving and die like a man!" The monster stated, sneering at Mashyuu with a set of crooked teeth. The Earth God said nothing at first, only looking the killer over once before saying something. "You must be a false god of death. The one I knew could kill all in a heart beat. Your creature could only do so much to me before it failed. I am the God of Earth and you will fall like the others." Mashyuu pointed at the ground, causing three pillars of stone to come up, smashing into the man with the claw and holding him in place. He struggled, slashing at the claws all while Mashyuu placed his hand on the ground and sent a shockwave through it. The stone pillars holding the man with the claw in place crumbled while the spell Mashyuu cast swallowed the clawed killer to his neck, squeezing and constricting the man.

Taking the time that his spell had afforded him, Mashyuu took a moment to eat more of the earth, restoring getting him closer to full power, little did he know that he was asleep. When the ground ejected the killer the man flipped through the air and landed a few feet away from Mashyuu swaying his bladed fingers, a wide grin on his face. "Okay, powder puff. Round two." Mashyuu threw his arms up, ready to fight but wasn't about to let the man get close. The ground rumbled, slates of stone shot up and slammed onto Mashyuu's body, forming a suit of stone armor while the left over stones floated and acted as Mashyuu's arms and legs. "Bring it poser." The killer howled in rage, charging Mashyuu, only to find that with a quick backhand the floating stones had batted the killer aside ten feet from the sheer force of the stones and their own magical gravitational force. The Killer was sent spinning in the air but managed to throw his hand up, clawing at Mashyuu's stone armor from under ground, cutting the stone but doing nothing to Mashyuu. He rushed forward, the armor and magic ring slowing him down a great deal, but the range his floating stones gave him more than made up for it. He swept his leg, taking out the killers footing. The killer started to fly through the air until Mashyuu brought the rocks down on the mans chest as hard as he could, knocking the killer into the ground. It was at this time Frey had finished off the Dragon with Itsu's help. Mashyuu blinked and raced forward, slamming his fists into the killer repeatedly, until suddenly he exploded in shadow, Mashyuu, and the others all found themselves awakening outside of Beanstalk Village again, but the killer was dropping down on Frey!

Mashyuu was still injured but he wasn't willing to let his daughter come to any more harm than she already had. With a wave of his hand stones shot up around Frey, a few more stone soldiers sprouted up around her and sucked her under ground, placing her inside a soldier farthest away from the attack and ejected her. The killer landed on the wrong stone soldier, only to find Mashyuu already leaping through the air and screaming. "Earth Gods Molten Blast!" His fists hit the ground, molten rock launched up, flying forward in a wave of burning stone, the stone washed over the killer, burning and battering his flesh, making him cry out in pain while trying to put the fire out. But was he alive or dead? Only time would tell.

He did not need to claim that she did not love him, because honestly it was something she already knew because the fact remained he had not been there when she was all alone, left an orphan once more. In the end? He had not been able to get to the little girl in time, death had claimed the child first, quite literally since that was what her mother was, the queen of death. It was hard to remove the facts of what had happened from a child's mind, even though she called on him the fact still remained trusting him was an uphill battle because Kanix died under his protect and he had not been there for Rune herself in her mind. Children often needed figure heads to blame and quiet honestly the god slayer made it fairly easy to do for her, so his words had little effect, save for the slightly narrowed glance she sent his way, cheeks puffing slightly as her hair wavered dramatically behind her when she moved away.

The other woman shouted at the child snapping her out of her reflection about the sight of a dragon. The only other dragon she had ever seen besides this one? Was Hemlock, and he was always so kind and guiding towards her, this Drake was much different from him, more wild and seemingly fairly unintelligent outside of basic animalistic things. The other woman was right about this being her fight though, Mashyuu had gotten his ass handed to him by the dragon, though the first hit had been obtained protecting her. “Yeah, Yeah I was just distracted, Hemlock is the only dragon I’ve ever seen before now.” the child suddenly sprouted ashen grey wings shockingly close to what existed on dragons themselves. Considering the damage she saw this thing do to her adoptive father? The girl wanted to have a swift fight, one where she got all the hits in before the beast started it’s counter attack. “Earth Dragon Sword” she pulled the obsidian object up, holding it in one hand, thinking of what she was going to do next she threw the blade up with as much force as she could, her fingers flexed causing her hands to take on a form close a dragon’s talons. Now she was ready to fight and promptly spit a hard fast flying rock at the beast to get its attention.

The dragon seemed enraged and raced towards the child who took to the sky to dodge it’s attack, grabbing the sword she had thrown earlier in her jaws by the hilt as it fell. Once the Dragon saw that Frey was able to fly? It took the sky itself, shooting up at her, not expecting her to tuck her wings in slightly to fall enough to end up beneath it and snap them open to drive her talons into its soft underbelly, this happened a few more times before her talons finally ended and she took her sword in hand and easily finished the drake off with it.

By the time she landed when her fight was over? Mashyuu had already taken care of some other enemy that had attacked them, this one seemed to match the little they knew about the killer. “What happened to him, looks like beef jerky.” and of course as a child she had to start poking the corpse with her sword, silver growling softly beside her, rolling his eyes.
