The yaju smiled at the apex "Worry not fellow yaju, death is but a faraway thing for me." she spoke and glanced at the Necromancer "If the lady here is at least half of how her followers see of her, then we are at the presence of a powerful, yet respected living being." Nera´s tone was calm and was prepared to face the female in front of her.
Yet.. there was something familiar.. visions of happiness crossed her aged eyes, trying to catch them with her memories.

"To me it does not matter if it is death or a simple scratch. I shall not leave an ally alone in such a situation as the one we have gotten ourselves into. So with that I shall stay." Saru spoke as he stood up straight, and after taking in a deep breath he seemed to purposefully puff up his chest in a rather... lame attempt to look more intimidating. At least to hold his ground.

Draven began juggling his blades again with ease as he turned to Takeshi and spoke.
"Draven bets the thing Draven has to offer." The mercenary said as he let his two cleaver axes fall and imbed themselves into the ground next to him. That is when he took out a small pouch from his belt, and upon undoing the string that kept it closed... it revealed a rather large gem the size of his palm. It was a shiny blue one, finely cut... it was quite a beautiful one. Where he got it from... who knows. "It's something I picked up on my last job. Draven already has plenty of cash. I don't need anymore." However the gem isn't all that it seems to be. For it may look truly real... it's a fake. A simple one he had made as a bit of a 'bragging right' as well as a decoy.

The vampire rolled her eyes before looking back at the pare of yaju, giving the both of them a rather annoyed look. "Don't mistake my respect for mercy. The two of you fought my generals and managed to hold your own against them. That respect is the ONLY reason you're still standing. I refuse to kill a worthy adversary while she's injured. But if you don't return what belongs to me, then you'll force my hand. I'll give you five minutes to say whatever you please but after that if the book isn't in my hands i'll slaughter both of you where you stand.

The monochromatic yaju showed the book again "while my memory takes its time to show me the actual portraits, I can smell the familiar scents coming from this book." she spoke while holding it just in case the female nechromancer would try something "So I will ask you" her tone was even as she was facing the girl "Who gave you this tome and when did you get it, not even Noxis would have created this marvelous fortress and amassed a powerful army in such a short time, it would have taken you probably a decade, some years probably with the help of other powerful magicians."
Nera knew something was important regarding the female, she looked too young for being too strong, that needed years of training and meditation, so she could outright say she was a vampire, but the attitude was also of someone of age.. "Say.. you aren´t from this era, isn´t it? having vampire traits would put you on their part of history, right?"

The vampire girl was slightly confused by the fox's words. She smelled familiar? She tried to remember where she might have seen the fox before, ut before she could remember anything, something else caught her attention. "The book is MINE. I alone created it and I alone will be the keeper of it's secrets. As for when I was born, If you really must know I came from the second Era when my race was first created. But the wars between mortals and the undead were already underway when i entered the world, if that tells you anything. Is there a point to all your mindless chatter or are you just wasting my time? Maybe stalling for some counter attack?"

"Second Era, it fits with having such magical reserves and time to practice." the yaju thought out loud "I´m not stalling anything you inpatient lady, I prefer to understand who I face instead of wasting my time with an unknown being" she explained throwing the book to the nechromancer "So if you are someone of the second Era, then you must know of the different keeps that were built to protect the people from the vampires and wolves, you bear no mark of their irrational cults, so you were transformed but managed to escape from their claws"
"What is the name given to you, young one?" the yaju spoke actually remembering she didn´t know their foe´s name.

The vampire took her book back, quickly catching it as it was thrown. She actually seemed relieved to have it back again. However when the fox spoke again, she returned back to her usual self. "It's rude to ask someone's name before giving your own. Besides, your powers of perception are lacking." she said bluntly and coldly towards the fox, still trying to remember her. "I was born this way and I'll die this way. This nifty little dress isn't' just a bold fashion statement, it was passed down to me by my mother before she died." There was more on her mind but she kept her mouth shut for now. the rest of her story was easy enough to figure out.
"...Well since you've been so cooperative. Names Seki, I'm the second Ascendit."

"Names Seki.."
It was like a punch to the gut, her mind started opening old gates that even had rust as how they hadn´t been checked in centuries ("The profile does fit.. and that name was rare already in that time.") the yaju pondered, but still this vampire had also the similar age as who she remembered. So Nera decided to keep her calm, knowing that throwing facts would probably cause more problems. "I apologize for my rudeness, I am someone who is direct and sometimes blunt." her words were sincere as she looked directly at Seki "I am Nera, Wanderer of The Nine" she made a faint bow of her head towards the Nechromancer

A grin spread wid over the young girl's lips after hearing that name. It all made sense to her now. She had very faint memories from her childhood about meeting this fox woman before, but they were fuzzy at best. She could only remember very specific details about what happened back then."Oh? You're still kicking after all this time?" she said with a voice filled with intrigue.
"I guess I shouldn't be all too suprised. you yaju are a sturdy bunch. But you're not quite immortal either." A small chair made of bones suddenly formed behinde the girl as if it were building itself out of parts of the fortress. Seki took a seat and made herself comfortable, all the while never taking her eyes off the old fox. "...So tell me Nunu, Do you regret saving me all those years ago?" the vampire asked, calling Nera bu her old nickname.

"Please have some respect for your elders" the yaju admonished the vampire, but her faint smirk told otherwise "We may not be immortal like our flora brethren or night neighbors, but we yaju still can live quite the millenias" her tone was now better while putting a paw on the pommel of her sword, a habit of hers when she conversed with others. "As for that moment where our lives crossed, I don´t regret a single thing, you were my pride and joy, still are Little One" the yaju used the nickname, feeling the memories come to her mind, enjoying them.
