Start of something special (Inv)

It wasn't very normal for Silvia to work with strangers. Not because of the fact that she didn't need them, but more so the fact that she didn't want them. Her social awkwardness was extremely high, but after dealing with someone as big a personality as Odhran, she highly doubted the next person could be worse. So, when she was forced to do a job with one of the higher ups in the guild, she complied. Either way, it came with her higher ranking, which meant that she couldn't refuse no matter how much she wanted to. It wasn't as though she was trying to prove something to her guildmates, but she at least wanted them to respect her enough for them to know that she means business.

She had received information on where to meet her partner. It was a spot in the main hall, where there were numerous floors. However, there weren't many people there. At this time of day, people were either out on jobs, or asleep, preparing for nighttime jobs. Some other people though were there lounging around, laughing with the friends they made through the guild. As Silvia stood there watching them, she looked down towards Selena, and said to her, "Sometimes, I wish we had more friends. It's mostly my fault, but I'm hoping to make it up to us by doing something with someone else. Who knows, maybe she'll be friendly."

With these words said, a lady appeared behind the two of them. She then yelped as she took a step back from her. All of a sudden, the clothes that Silvia had been wearing turned into a silvery dress. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable, as her pale body was finally seeing the light. She mostly wanted to isolate herself from others, so she tried her best to cover herself up so that people would walk right by her. Now though, she was open to the public. She seemed like she was you're average 16 year old girl, ready to go out on a date. In confusion, she looked up at the crimson haired woman in front of her. Something about her eyes made Silvia cower, wondering how someone could have such a color.

As she stuttered, trying to come up with questions, or statements, or whatever, the woman before her spoke. It seemed to be her partner, and she did not seem pleased with Silvia's age at all. Silvia looked down at Selena, hoping that the doll would give her the courage to stand up for herself. As a pulse of dark energy came from it, she felt a bit of confidence in herself that let out words she was not expecting. "Of course I'm not a stupid little brat. I have my reasons for coming here, and I know for sure that you do too. So, before you go questioning my abilities, remember that I'm apart of this guild for a reason. Obviously I'm not as high ranked as you, but I'm working my way up. Got that? Great." With that, her mouth instantly closed shut. She took in a deep gulp, wondering where that had come from. She then looked down towards the ground, trying not to embarrass herself anymore.

So, with the woman opening a portal to their destination, Silvia felt inclined to walk in. She definitely didn't want to be on the bad side of someone who exuded as much magical energy as she did. Especially not at the level she was at. Her magic was weak at the moment, meaning that she needed to train up her skills before she could ever stand up for herself against someone like her again. Though, depending on if her mouth acted up again, she might not get that option to stay reserved. As she went through the other side, she followed the Crimson haired woman silently, hoping that she wouldn't ask her anything.

As Silvia had been walking down the road, she kept her head down. She felt like she was a deer in the headlights, waiting to be ran over by her job partner. It wasn't that she didn't like the woman. It's just that she felt fear when she was approached by her. Whether it be because of the fact that her magic levels were high, or her presence in general was just high was very unknown. All she did now, was that there was no reason to fight her.

So, as the woman changed her clothes through magic, Silvia just kept her mouth shut. Even as she was changing the clothes on Silvia once more. This time though, she had put her in some kind of maid outfit. This made her extremely uncomfortable, as her cheeks turned a bright red. This woman was pushing her past her levels of comfort. Things she had never thought she'd have to do. All Silvia could do though, was just sit there, trying her best not to anger the woman. She didn't know how the woman would react if she got angry, but Silvia was surely not going to like it when she did.

After only a few moments, Grim changed Silvia's clothing back to the dress she wore before. Which, Silvia had a new appreciation for. Grim then criticized Silvia's appeal, making her feel brought back to times of loneliness as a younger girl. Those times where people would call her weird, or whisper bad things about her behind her back. The only good thing she could say about the experience so far, was that the woman could at least speak her mind. She gave zero shits about what anyone thought about her. Sure, that wasn't too far fetched for a darkie, but she wasn't as confident as some, or as explicit as others. That was probably one of the only things she could like about the woman.

As she was thinking about all these things, Grim had changed her clothing into a bunny maid outfit. This one was a bit more revealing than the cat outfit, making Silvia want to yelp out. However, she tried to stay strong, knowing that the road to their location wouldn't be much farther. She took in a deep gulp of air, and tried to shake off the distress she was feeling.

Once they had reached the location, Silvia saw as Grim became overcome with anger. For whatever reason, something had made her seem extremely angry. Silvia had no idea why she did it, or what would even happen to make her feel that way. She took a step back, realizing that she was right not to get on the woman's dark side. Magic was exuding from her, and causing storm clouds to circle around her. Silvia didn't know what this woman's magic was, but she had trained it well. Without it even doing anything, it still exuded a power that brought fear into the people around it.

As Silvia saw Grim begin her work on the crowd, she thought that it would be good for her to allow Grim too see that she wasn't just any teenage girl. In agreeance with her thoughts, Selena gave off a pulse of dark energy. However, the dark energy wasn't just for that, it was also sent out to show the doll's need for blood to be spill. Like always, Silvia would agree, not only because Selena was her friend, but because Silvia had her own reasons for doing the killing herself.

After a few months of being Selena's puppet in killing, Silvia had started to create reasonings for her kills. She created a moral compass that gave her a reason to do these killings. She may have been a killer, but that didn't mean she didn't have her reasons for doing so. She wasn't like most other villains, in which they did whatever the hell they wanted to whoever they wanted. There was one type of person she would never kill, and that was children and teens. However, if these teens were too much of adults, then she would do what she did to all other adults. As children grow into adults, they lose their freedom, and if a teen loses that freedom to have fun and do what they want, they will never get that back. So, to end the misery of that adult, and those teens is crucial into creating the utopia without rules, just freedom.

So, as Grim had finished speaking, people began to run towards the exits of the area. However, Silvia took this moment to show her power. There were three exits in the area, and the people trying to run towards them seemed pretty even. Looking at them, she created a single earth thread, and sent it out towards a random exit, saying out loud, "Hey, let's play a little game! Whoever is in the area of where my thread lanes will die. Sounds like a fun way to end you're life." With the thread finally hitting the ground, the women looked at it, knowing what was about to happen. "Now, I'm not as lenient as my guild mate over here. She may have her morales, or whatever they are, but I also have mine too. Your children will be allowed to leave, but not you. With this thought process in mind, she reacted an elemental thread of both earth and fire in her hands. As she slammed her hands together, they mended into one thread that flew into the sky. It then split apart and rained down upon the women as Silvia said, "Weave Art: Meteor Shower!" The threads then collided with the women in the area, making dents in their bodies they wouldn't survive. As the wall broke, the children ran out of the area, both crying and scared.

Now that she had finished up her business, she looked over to Grim, seeing if the woman was satisfied. She had also wondered what they were going to do next. She sensed powerful magical signals in the area, but she couldn't tell from who they were coming from, and what Grim would do to them. All she could wait for was the command from her superior

Silvia looked at Grim, nodding her head in compliance with what the woman said. Although Silvia wanted to take a stab at the stronger elderly mages, she would listen to Grim completely. There was no use in fighting her, let alone defy her word. So, as she saw her go away from the area they were in, she left Silvia to fight alone. Looking around now, she saw that the people that didn't leave were still there. They were mortified, but most importantly, angry. There were very few wedding guests still in the area. However, the staff was a different story. It seemed like they were dedicated to their jobs, to the point that it was sad. They were willing to risk their lives just for a silly loyalty that kills your childhood.

So, as she looked around, she saw the staff members all look at each other in agreement. There was an arrangement of them, such as florists, chefs, and priests. With this, the chefs rushed towards Silvia with ladles in their hand. These weren't just any ladles though, they exuded magical power from them. Though, they weren't too much of a problem. As Silvia casted her meteor shower spell, they were struck down as quickly as they rushed towards her. The priests that were still in the area at the time, they were trying their best to heal the wounds on the chefs, not realizing how their lives were taken from them already. She watched them as they shouted out to hear cries of agony, questioning why they were doing this to people like them. Silvia had a simple answer, "Well, because it's just fun. Sure, us darkies have our side goals, but at the end of the day, we find joy in killing."

They looked up at her, tilting their heads in confusion. It was as though they couldn't believe the words that had just came out of her mouth. Though, they wouldn't be able to really question her anymore, because after only a few short moments, Freya had sent out 6 different elemental threads to the enemies around her, piercing through their skin, and taking their lives. It was funny; the priests were supposed to be healers, presenters of new life. Now, they were corpses on the ground, ready to give way to the next generation of children. The ones that would be carefree. No one to set rules for them, whether through religion, government, or whatever else. Hopefully, Silvia's goal will come closer and closer to being true.

The florists looked around at the dead bodies that laid before Silvia. It was as though they didn't know what to do, but Silvia knew that they had magic in them. They all had a magical signature to them that was similar in strength to Silvia's. However, they seemed to shocked to actual use them. Silvia didn't like this very much, because if they were going to stay and fight, that was what they needed to do. Emotions get in the way of too much sometimes, and she knew this to be especially true. If they were ever going to beat her, they would need to lose their fear and fight. With this, she created a whirlpool with her magic that took all the florists in the area, as they were dragged towards the center. Some of them had lost all their fight, and sunk down into the whirlpool, slowly losing air.

Two of them had finally came to their senses. As they created large vine like tentacles to come out of the ground, they lifted themselves up from the whirlpool with anger on their faces. As Silvia looked at them, she smiled. Although they had gone past fear, anger wasn't any better. When you were angry, you were irrational. So, as tentacles grew all around Silvia, they closed in on her, trying to crush her body from the pressure. Of course, what the florists didn't know, was that she had something that was stronger than nature...fire. She formed a fire thread in her hand, as she threw it out, focusing on the explosion and it's focus on the vines, not her. The thread then exploded, burning away the vines that had been there.

Now, she could see the florists and they were surprised. It seemed as though their strongest spell had not worked against her. Now they were stuck. They were lost on what to do, and they stood there, accepting what was about to happen. Silvia frowned, and said to them, "You were so close to being free of emotion and care, but I guess it's true...adults can never be as free as children. I pity you, but that doesn't mean I won't kill you. I need to cleanse the world of all those who can't let freedom run through." With that being said, she created 6 random elemental threads around her, and sent them right towards the two florists. Like with how the priests died, the florists died quickly. Blood poured from their bodies as Silvia looked over them. She felt Selena bask her with dark energy as the lives of the florists left them. Without even questioning why this was, she just went on to find her partner and see how she was doing. The job was almost complete, and they had made a massacre of what should be a beautiful thing...at least in the eyes of the corrupted adults.

As Silvia looked over to the fierce woman before her, she felt a bit of fear. Silvia realized something about the woman, she liked to toy with people. Whether it be her friends or her enemies. No matter what, she had a bit of deviousness in her body. She used people's fears and desires to her advantage. A tactic that wowed Silvia quite a bit in all actuality. It was something that Silvia hoped she could do one day. Of course, she could never do it to the extremities of her partner, but to exploit the confinements of society and show that they were never meant to be set was something that Silvia hoped to show the world. She wanted to show them that being free from judgement and hate would get them places farther than how they would last with them in her hands.

So, she watched Grim very carefully, observing everything she did, from how she used the elders' love for each other and the fiance of the groom to bait them into fighting her. It was quite a viscous tactic, but a smart one nonetheless. She had even killed one of the elders already from his rash decision making, leaving the wife of the man to be open to killing from weeping for her lost husband. Everything was seeming to work out in the way that she had wanted them too. Though, there were still 2 other players in the game, and they seemed to be a lot more fierce than the parents of the maid. These elders seemed to be out for vengeance for what Grim had done to their son, and they were vocal about it as well. After the father of the wife had died, they had started cursing at the mage, telling her that she'd pay for what she had done to the wedding. Though, Silvia highly doubted that. Although they're magical signatures were strong, Grim's struck fear into Silvia while the elders didn't. Grim could easily kill the mages at that very moment, but she continued to toy with them. This made Silvia wonder why exactly that was. Was it just the woman's nature, or was there a secret motive to all of this.

While thinking this, she felt a pulse of dark energy come from Selena. It was as though the doll was trying to communicate the fact that she was intrigued with the woman as well. So, she looked down to Selena, and said to her, "Well, Grim seems to be a really talented mage. She makes things really interesting, even though she doesn't need things to be. It's going to be very intriguing to see what she does next...I'm really excited!" With that, a bit of joy came out of her, more so than she would usually show. It was just that she was so excited that she would be able to master her craft more by just watching how Grim did hers. Every mage had their own signature style with how she accomplished things, and Silvia wanted to learn what her own was. She hoped that by watching someone like Grim, she would find that style. Not to mention the fact that she'd be able to show the world who she really was, and why she was the way she was. She wanted people to follow in her steeps, and work towards the freedom that people deserved. People needed to know her name, whether they liked the knowledge of her or not.

As Silvia looked out at the orbs that the woman had thrown out, Silvia had watched as the orbs left remains in their tracks. It seemed as though Grim's grace was just a mere taunt. Silvia had expected that. After all, Grim loved to toy with her subjects before going in for the kill. So, as Silvia looked back towards the woman, she saw as she finished up with her deed. Each of them had thought they were strong enough at the beginning of the fight, but they soon realized how wrong they were.

Looking at Grim now, Silvia saw as her shadow had formed into a sort of entity. This was odd for Silvia, not understanding how her magic had worked. Silvia's magic was completely based around a core type of magic, while Grim seemed to have an unlimited amount. No spell of her's was really the same in any sort of way. It seemed to just be a collection of different spells that she used to her own benefit. Though, Silvia hasn't seen enough of Grim's magic to know if that was actually the case. She wanted to figure it out though, and she hoped that she would in future jobs. For right now though, they're job was over, and Silvia and Grim would part ways until their next mission. At least, That's what Silvia was thinking was gonna happen. She was ready for their next meeting though, especially with all that she had learned.
