Ian
*Closed her eyes as she heard the demon screaming in agony as he was ripping the head off her sword was cutting through with his help and his head finally came off it hit the ground with a thud she would open her eyes soon after to see the body drop to the ground it would slowly begin to turn to ashes* `"Why didn't you wake me I could have helped."` *She says softly kind of scared of him because he yelled at her he was also 7 feet so that played a factor.*
William
*The head of the demon was impaled into the dragon hunter's clawed hand.* "Well there wasn't much of a chance I had to wake you up." *He chuckles*
Ian
*Slowly rose her sword then swung downward getting the blood off of it before sheathing her blade she held her arm softly* `"Your not mad at me are you?"` *She would ask*
William
*The dragon hunter would cock his to the side.* "Mad? Not all." *He was about to scratch his head when he realized the demon's head was still on his claws. He threw it to the ground and curved stomped it with his black sabatons.*
Ian
`"It was already turning to ash was it necessary...? But we should start to move again your fight would have attracted every creature from the top to the bottom of the mountain the scent of blood is strong."` *She stated nodding they needed to move and fast.*
William
"Yes I agree! Just one moment!" *She would hear him sniff around for some reason. He disappeared from sight for a few moments only to return with his broken gauntlet in hand.*
Ian
*Heard him sniffing around she also noticed his claw and fur before he disappeared she would look at him* `"Your not human are you?"` *She asked as she had caught him red handed* `"Sniffing around furry claw inhuman strength..."`
William
"Well I suppose the cat is out of the bag. No, I am not."
Ian
*Clutches her hands together asks nervously.* `"Then what are you...? If not human you are...? It doesn't matter let's just get going we don't have much time for this."` *She goes over to the horse trudging through the snow shivering slightly as she packs everything and grabs the reigns starts trudging a path through the snow toward the pass in between the mountains*
William
*He would follow close behind trying to put his broken gauntlet back on him.*
Ian
*As they were continuing they would soon come across a large moat They were not to far from her hometown they were coming up towards the border there could be seen people dawned in black and blood red flaming kimono's they had katanas torches lit up the wooden walls and walkway they were walking in there was large spiked wooden staked logs all across the walls length with a large moat Infront of it flowing with water it was around 15 feet wide with single wooden platforms just above the water by an inch in the center each of those logs separated by 100 feet each with warriors dawning the same clothing but with flames trailing up to the chest signifying they were higher up on the chain of ranking. The wall went on as far as the eye could see all the way to the coastal beaches into the beaches and into the water into a bay that had large wooden gates to let ships in and out but they couldn't see that far.* `"This is it the people on the logs are called the kimono don't make them angry please."`
William
*He looked at the massive wall and the guards posted around it.* "Yep, I'll stay out here while you ask around. If you need help just... I don't know whistle or something. They won't like me all that much. I need to get back to Cyoneia and get my armor patched back together."
Ian
`"I haven't come all this way for you to just leave, why don't you stay with me... We traveled for around a whole month together to get here why do you want leave so bad they won't bother you as long as I'm here."` *She had grown used to company and him not being there would feel wrong to say the least she would feel lonely without him.*
William
*Looks puzzled* "I'm not leaving, I'm just staying right here mate. I mean..." *He shows his blood soaked exposed clawed hand.* "Do really think they would like this?"
Ian
`"They would be ok since it's demon blood on your claw and they won't deny medical treatment to anyone, I am Lady Senia of the blood flame slayer core you are my guest that means you are also there guests as hosts they cannot deny you."` *She nodded and gently took his claw hand and smiles as she holds it.*
William
*The dragon hunter for first time in his life stammered.* "Well... I...I suppose it's alright then." *He turned his head away for a brief moment and coughed.*
Ian
*Smiles brightly as she gently tugs his claw as she leads him to the edge of the moat the large draw bridge would be lowered after the nearly 4 inches thick of raw steel gate was raised the bridge had railings and a ramp to connect to the ground it was 15 feet tall maybe even more as it was lowered she would hold the reigns of the horse in one hand and his claw in the other. As they began to walk through they were let through without any hassle.* `"Don't kill anyone here absolutely no one. Unless it's a demon or I say it's ok. It's very strict rules here. Ok?"` *She looked up to him with a soft expression*
William
*The dragon hunter was offended by her comment* "Please, I'm a professional. Just because I've got a claw for a hand doesn't mean I kill everything in sight."
Ian
`"Yes I know I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you, forgive me."` *She looks down slightly as they walk feeling guilty she made him feel offended they would begin to come across more snow as they were going up the trail... She tried to think where they would have gone first probably to there old house? She would check there first as they walked* `"Why did you become a professional in your field...? You are gentle with me maybe you should take a small break from it I'll try to scrape up all the money I have if needed to keep your services for as long as possible..."` *She said*
William
*The dragon hunter pondered at the question. He had almost forgotten why he took the profession.* "Well I suppose it's the thrill of the hunt along with the perks that come with the business. Someone needs something dead they call me. I go in and kill it and get paid. It's a simple adventurous life, but an enjoyable one."
Ian
`"But a lonely one you can't make many friends that way but I can be your friend if you want we traveled for a whole month together after all."` *She gently squeezes his claw happily*
William
*The dragon hunter coughed into his gauntlet.* "Well... I suppose that's true, but I prefer it that way."
Ian
`"Oh I see..."` *She got sad as he said he preferred it the way of him just being alone her face looked sad as she gently let go of his claw she wouldn't force him to do anything he didn't want to.*
William
*He would hesitate for a moment.* "That doesn't mean I can't learn to make friends. I... Suppose."
Ian
*Looked at him as he said that it would make her smile a little more as they were coming across the estate*
