Vohr arrived on the battlefield as Viruin killed off the last remaining Regiusian in his area. He studied the young warrior briefly before calling out to him.

"So, you're the one causing us all of our supply problems, huh?" Vohr asked.

Viruin didn't speak. He just stood there, staring angrily at Vohr.

"Not going to talk to me, huh? Fine. We'll speak with actions then." He continued as he dismounted his horse. "Show me your resolve!"

As he said this, Vohr crouched down and raised his arms, standing back up with them. As he rose, so did a wall of flame that surrounded the two warriors. Viruin stood his ground, however, and prepared for the next attack. Vohr snapped his fingers and the ground beneath Viruin became superheated, catching Viruin off guard. He leaped from his position moments before the ground beneath him erupted into a concentrated flame. Landing somewhat off-kilter, Viruin steadied himself and prepared to charge Vohr, who promptly erected several pillars of flame as a defense.

"Come on! Show me what the Speran Rebels can do! Come and kill me, you worthless scum!"

Viruin scoffed at such a pathetic defensive field. He crouched and coiled his right leg, quickly extending his body and firing his leg into the ground. The force propelled him towards Vohr with blinding speed. As he drew close, the pillars of flame began to expand, covering up the opening Viruin was aiming for and forcing him to stop his body mid-flight. From behind the new wall of flame separating Viruin from Vohr, the Regiusian commander aimed his hand at the rebel, a pair of flames swirling around his arm. As they met each other at his palm, the build up turned into a cannon, and Vohr fired a large fireball in Viruin direction. Still stepping back away from the wall, Viruin was surprised by the sudden attack and dodged to his left, the fireball grazing his side and scorching off part of his shirt covering his right kidney area.

"Great... now I've got to get this patched..." Viruin mumbled to himself. He looked in Vohr's general direction, unable to see him through the flames. "You're pretty good, aren't you?!"

"Lots of practice with whelps like you thinking they can overthrow something as powerful as Tyruss's empire. To me, you're just another kill. And it's about time I cooked your ass."

Vohr snapped his fingers once more and the scorched portion of Viruin shirt burst into flames. Viruin stumbled backwards and repeatedly smacked the flames in an attempt to beat them out before giving up and simply bringing down a showers of rain on him to put out the flames. Thankfully the scorch hadn't grown much and he made it out with light burns.

"So you can only affect objects near you with your speed magic, hmm? You'd be no match for Malus if he were here.." Vohr mocked. He could see through the flames... or rather, his flames acted as an extension of his eyes.

Malus... why did that name sound so familiar to Viruin? He shrugged it off and drove his foot into the ground, causing some of the road to break up and sail into the air. He stopped the numerous pieces of debris from falling and struck them in Vohr's direction, speeding them up as he hit them. The sheer speed of the objects caught Vohr off guard and he suffered several small pieces of shrapnel tearing into his left arm and leg as he tried to evade.

"Hmm... perhaps a tactical retreat is in order. Next time..." Vohr muttered angrily. He erected a large pillar of flame around Viruin in order to trap him while he made his escape. Fire magic had a minimum range and Viruin would have to worry about the rest of the soldiers in Spera anyway.

Excellent, El thought as the stranger began leaving the stream after bagging a deer. Now she can finally wash her body and get rid of the grime, filth, and most important the goddamn aphrodisiac off of her body.

El left the shelter of the tree and crept close to the stream, holding her daggers in case anything jumped on her and keeping her distance from the stranger clad in armor. However, as soon as she made a couple of steps towards the river, she in the darkness did not check where she was going and stepped on a sharp thorn.

What followed was an excruciating pain that blinded her for a few seconds. She couldn't hold in the agony and screamed; her scream so loud the entire forest could've heard her... metaphorically speaking. She was knocked out of her balance and fell on her bottom with a splat. The continuous barrage of torment made her jerk her head back and lay down to catch her breathe. Pain and then fear spread in her head as she realized: the stranger must've heard her scream; no doubt about that. If he is just an adventurer, he could perhaps give her an assistance... at least take her to the stream so she can at least think straight. Or he could leave her alone and go about his own way.

...or he could take advantage of her crippling wound and do whatever she wants to her. It seemed in this cage of an artificial world, everyone acted by their primal insticts and desires more than they did in the real world. And when someone is unarmed and unclothed as a woman, in this world, she would most likely be violated. If that stranger came to her and, notice her scandalous position, and take advantage of her. With how sensitive her entire body was, she would most likely lose her mind and break.

El tried to escape, but the pulsating pain on her left foot made it hard to run or cast Shadowstep. It was near impossible to even correct herself up to a sitting position or reach for the daggers she dropped. Left helpless, she could only await with teary eyes of what would happen.

Seki had managed to make it home before the rain started pouring to hard. Her clothes were a little bit wet but it wasn't anything too serious. She stripped down to her underwear and hang the outerwear clothes p to dry before face planting onto her makeshift bed. It seemed she had taken clothing and leaves and mixed them together in a nest like area that you would expect a large bird or wild animal to sleep in It didn't' look comfortable at first but the large leaves were surprisingly soft and green despite being taken from their original tree. Either she exchanged the leaves regularly or she had found a glitch in the system. Either way it worked for what it was worth. Seki covered her body with a warm jacket that was meant for a person at least three times her size, wrapping it around her as she closed her eyes to rest until the rain stopped.

Jason was about to hastily leave the river, but the scream he heard next interrupted his task, and like an arrow through his heart, fear spread throughout his core. In a single instant, Jason had spun around to face the possible threat with both of his foldable knives drawn, ready to defend himself, but what he saw was quite different than what he was expecting. Lying on the ground was a tan, white-haired woman laying on the ground, twitching and lightly gasping. From what he could see, she was currently not a threat and was completely defenseless, as evidenced by her knives lying on the ground. Still cautious about the woman's affiliation, Jason dashed after the knives and quickly kicked them away from her reach before taking a step back, still on the defensive.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?", Jason harshly asked the woman. Despite his harsh tone, Jason was actually still quite on edge. For all he knew, this woman was some kind of Tyrus assassin having a bad day. That and there was no telling what her scream would possibly attract to the area.

Ah, fuck. El thought to herself as this stranger loomed over her. The fact that she had her daggers on the ground around her must've made the wrong first impression. This stranger looked on edge, irritated about something that El knew not the reason of. But it wasn't a good sign; anger usually leads to drastic actions; in this case that drastic action could lead to something bad. Really bad.

In El's mind, two sides were fighting each other, one guided by her logics and one guided by her... desires.

"Give in to the drug!" The devil inside her tempted. "Fall into his arms, ask him to embrace you!"

"Are you insane? There's no way she should do that!" El's angel inside her frowned at the devil's remark. "Ask him to help you get to the stream! Then you should be able to explain to him who you are."

"Haaanh-" El moaned as she took a glance at the stranger, her pupils almost looking like they had a heart inside. She was gritting her teeth as she was getting more and more sensitive before she managed to say: "T... take me... over there..."

Jason was still very wary of the woman still laying on the ground, but at the same time it was clear she needed help. Jason was very hesitant to even come close to her, let alone help her, especially since her scream could have alerted either wildlife, or one of Tyrus's legion. At the same time, if he didn't help, the woman would be at the mercy of anything she might have attracted, or at least be heavily inconvenienced. Of course, he knew that the more he thought about this, the more time he would waste being indecisive and standing around.

After a couple moments, Jason gave a faint, quiet groan of reluctance as he put away his knives, and reached down with both hands to grab El. It took little effort for Jason to wrap his arms around El's abdomen and lift her up a couple inches before taking one arm and placing it under her back, allowing him to more comfortably carry her. After that, Jason gently picked her up off the ground before carefully walking towards the edge of the river, taking care not to trip and fall on any of the loose terrain.

El arched back a little when the stranger scooped her up with his arms, twitching because of the sudden stimulus. She then curled up into a ball, her face contorted with some sort of anguish, as the stranger took her to the river.

Spoiler



When the stranger dropped her onto the ground gently, El rolled into the river without hesitation. After a few seconds of completely submerging herself, El returned to the surface, looking a LOT better than before as she wiped off any love drug on her body while sighing blissfully. It wasn't a lustful pleasure like before; it was a pleasure of satisfaction and refreshment.

"Thaaaat hit the spooooot." El said to herself as she scrubbed every nooks and crannies, almost forgetting the fact that someone had to carry her here. "Pro tip to myself; never run into bandits who have access to aphrodisiacs. Damn, love drugs are pretty scary though; any second and I would've started-"

El suddenly felt a presence watching her. She then realized that she had forgotten to thank the kind stranger. First, she had to apologize; she's not going to lie; she was REALLY obscene back there. "I probably should say sorry first for being REALLY lewd back there. I can explain if it disturbed you so much."

Jason felt rather confused about his current situation as she rolled into the river, but as he quietly listened to her ramble to herself, Jason soon learned why she was acting the way she was. Despite that, the entire ordeal still felt slightly.. awkward to him. After all, she was still naked, and here he was, just standing there and rather absentmindedly watching her. As she apologized, Jason simply fidgeted with his fingers, slowly twiddling his thumbs as he lightly bit the inside of his lip and broke eye contact by turning his eyes a little to the left.

"Yeeeaaaaa... All that might require some explanation", Jason said with a nervous chuckle before continuing, "Just spare the finer details, because I gotta go. There's no telling what you might have attracted by screaming, so I've gotta put some distance between me and this river. I think you should do the same."

"On the run?" El smiled. Now that she had an inkling of trust that he wasn't looking to violate her my any means, she could strike a conversation with him. Unfortunately, this stranger seemed to be running from something or someone. Funny, El thought. She was running away from a certain group of bandits herself; at least until now. She could run back to the Red Baron HQ now that she had all the love drug rubbed and ejected out of her system. "Which direction are you heading to?"

El emerged from the river and walked towards Jason. The way her wet skin and hair reflected off the moonlight; how her silvery hair emitted almost celestial aura and how her slit, yellow eyes gazed at Jason playfully, coupled with her gentle smile that curled around her luscious lips; how perfect her proportion and body shape was... for a moment, she looked like the goddess of the moon. Well, until she felt a light pain returning on her foot.

"Ow- dammit." El flinched and lifted her left foot up from the back to reach for the thorn. After couple of tries, she was able to retrieve it: a rather large barb from an unknown plant that was covered in blood. She tossed the thorn aside casually and turned to Jason, her playful, laid-back gaze beckoning answers. "So? Can I follow you? I could've used some companionship. Besides, if you're locked in combat, I could be of help. I'm quite handy with my blades, you see."

To be honest, Jason didn't really know whether or not he should let her follow him. If he wanted to cover the most distance, he would easily be able to do so thanks to his speed magic, but having another person would only slow him down. Then again, he had no direction, no "point B" to his "point A". That, and she could be of help if he ran into any trouble. As Jason thought about his answer, he noticed that she was picking a spiked barb out from her foot. This didn't break his attention away from his decision, but he made a mental note to heal her wound after he came to a decision.

Jason remained silent for a while as he rubbed the back of his neck, silently thinking about what to do, but after close to an entire minute, he finally spoke up.

"Well, I was pretty much headed anywhere but here. I don't have any destination in mind, and don't really have anywhere to go anyways. I guess a having companion couldn't hurt in this moment... Of course, we need to at least find you some clothes. It would be more than a little eventful if you wandered into town like that. Keep you from stepping on more thorns too.", Jason finally said to El.
