As Cris dons the armor, the Tiefling Mistress circles her on, cutting a sinister path in the dirt and grass, eyeing her with those glimmering eyes like a beast closing in for the kill.  She has sheathed her blade, but her taloned hands flex near its pommel, gripping as if to retrieve the captured souls of a hundred years of slaughter.   (https://youtu.be/dp7YQ4GfVMg)"You killed, yes?  Good.  I hope you remember their faces, the gasps of shock as their bodies gave out, because that's your future.  That, dear little girl, is what you must avoid.  And your only protection will be her..." she raises her off-hand-- extending one claw towards Mina, pointing her out.<br/><br/>"Your body will break.  Your body will suffer.  You have suffered of the soul, surely, but I am here to harden that... thing... of your shell.  You will become a demon of human-flesh, girl.  You will suffer the scourging of my teaching until you fight with the hate of hell.  And your enemies will know only death.  But first... you must know death."  From her waist, in a large pouch, she produces a flog... if it can be called such.  Leather straps tipped with iron balls.  An agonizing-looking instrument, to be sure.  "You found a suitable weapon.<i>Good.</i>If you draw blood from me I may ease your suffering.  But you won't, you maggot-shit little cunt.  You will learn only pain so that you know the bottom of its well... and from it you will climb, you will ascend..."<br/><br/>At that, no sooner than Cris has managed to lace the armor, the maniacal light in those eyes shines through the visor and the Tiefling woman sets in.  "Let's test that will of yours.  Surrender, and I'll punish you.  Fight until you die or I will make you beg for death."  With incredible swiftness, the Hellbitch sets forth, whipping the scourge overhead and swiping across Cris' defensive arms, revealing to her an assault of agony from the dozen heavy beads that pummel her flesh with astounding agony, ricocheting off of bone and muscle alike with precision and fury.<br/><br/>"COME ON YOU LITTLE FUCK!"
