As the demon lord raged clashing into Reavrix in a spectacular blast of fel and plague he saw Jericha sending Varicar away… It was unwise but it was her choice he needed not a minion that couldn’t help her.
Salkeen swiped his blades hard near Reavrix impacting into the Titan and causing a blast of fire that burned away the flesh around him. The whole battle near Salkeen had taken on a new shape, the inner pieces of the Titan burned with fire scouring all life from the area and leaving blackened Titan bones! “I command you to die!” Hissed Salkeen sending a great wave of fel flames at Reavrix.
Salkeen couldn’t help but give a malevolent grin, Jericha seemed to be enjoying herself further as she taunted Reavrix… Salkeen wished to slay Reavrix, but he still remembered barely to take him alive.
Salkeen clashed with Reavrix who seemed still as arrogant and confident as before. The cheating bastard had hoped summoning copies would allow him to cut the other two down while he battled Salkeen. Salkeen roared sending his blades down, the Reavrix blocked and conjured plague in his hands to retaliate when a arrow of pure light whizzed between the demon lords forcing them to part.
Salkeen glared towards the origin of the shot to see a being much like Ahcirej but in hunting regalia… Salkeen growled slightly he knew his master had made a copy of what was his, but his emotions relaxed slightly, at least he had given it back to Salkeen… “Fight for your lord! Bring this monstrosity down!” Salkeen roared slamming into Reavrix once again. Both demon lords pushing for superiority…
Salkeen snarled loudly as he heard the words! In a moved filled with rage he sent Reavrix backwards hard into the other side of the Titan… For a split second Salkeen wished to fly like a winged harbringer of vengeance, he would burn over the Titan like Deathwing had burned the world… His answer was made for him as Reavrix gestured to the very walls causing the holes in which they all entered to seal up.
“What’s a matter Great Salkeen?” Reavrix taunted sarcastically. “Your minions still so unruly? Perhaps you should just let me kill them all!” Reavrix laughed.
“Never!” Hissed Salkeen charging forward and grabbing Reavrix by the horns! With his great strength Salkeen lifted Reavrix into the air befor slamming him back down hard.
Being thrown across the vessel as it lurched forward, bought Izzabelle back to consciousness. It took her but a few seconds to realize that Smuggs had to activate the plan early because of Orion. Izzabelle looks over and sees Sericon’s sprawled out cold on the floor. Then she feels something hit the ship with enough power to shake the entire vessel. She looks as Smuggs turns on the viewing screen.
Varicar was now hanging on the outside of the ship, he was not pleased.
In rage Varicar balled his fist and punched hard into the ship trying to bring it down. “You are no longer apart of the group! This will be rectified!” The homunculus hissed.
Izzabelle knew exactly what she needed to do it was imperative that Smuggs Get away, One of them needed to get away. Gathering all her strength Izzabelle shadow steps behind Varicar. She latches onto his shoulder with one hand her clawed fingers digging into his flesh. She wraps her legs around his waist. ”betrayal! Betrayal… the only one betrayed here was ME!” She draws back and punches him right in the head hoping to knock them both free of the vessel so Smuggs can fly it the hell out of there and get away. ”They will never destroy my mind like they did my body” she strikes him again as her spiders are ripped from her body. As they are the real amount of damage to her body is revealed.
Smuggs knew that Varicar would try to rip this ship open and apart if he could to get to them within. It seemed Izzabelle was already on it, shadow-stepping outside the vessel and bringing the fight to Varicar. The two fought on the outside of the vessel Izzabelle trying to throw Varicar off and Varicar in turn tried to subdue her.
Smuggs kept rocketing forward, flying up the throat of the Titan, this was the best place to get free of the impending explosion! “4” chined the irradiator. Smuggs pushed it harder reaching the upper throat, he accidentally Hey one of the sides shaking the two on the outside of the ship.
“3” Smuggs neared the maw, It was the time to try the most dangerous part the jaws! “2” Smuggs pushed the ship forward as the jaws of the undead construct opened and began to close again.
“1” Smuggs has a look of worry, it was gonna he close, the massive teeth closing in on them! The vessel scraped teeth on the bottom and top before rocketing into the sky and to freedom!!
Behind them a resounding blast filled the air, followed by a secondary blast! The massive Titan lurched violently as its insides were destroyed! The Titan shuddered as plague leaked from its broken jaws and the massive thing collapsed to earth with a earth shattering crack! Finally the Titan grew still, the demon army surrounding it cheered as the monstrosity was finally put down.
Smuggs continued upwards, the choice had to be made. Escape now, or face the retribution of the others if they were to slow!
Varicar gripping the ship hard, glared back at Izzabelle. “You are no longer apart of the group this must be rectified! Your analysis on betrayal is flawed, you are becoming the betrayer.” Varicar hissed knocking his arm back and trying to subdue Izzabelle.
“They will elevate your mind, as they have your body, as they have to mine!” Varicar growled asking her in the side, her damage was considerably but Varicar would not heal her while she was not apart of the group.
Varicar kicker and managed to get free, but a sharp jolt forced him to grab the vessel again he put his foot through the hull. Varicar rose his arm back to punch Izzabelle hard in the face, if she knocked out he could ensure she was assimilated back into the group. The jaws of the Titan shook the vessel, and he missed grazing her ear and putting another hole in the hull. Varicar was struck hard his grip loosening, Varicar roared summoning pins of chi that lanced into Izzabelle’s clothing trying to hold her down. Varicar nearly pulled himself back up where he would put Izzabelle under when a hard jolt knocked the homunculus away.
Cursing in demonic and many other languages Varicar fell backward into openbair as he watched the vessel fly higher! The monk manuevered his fall into a back flip and tried to teleport forward but it wasn’t to be…
Varicar continued falling landing among the cheering armies of demons with a resounding crack that knocked many off their feet. “You fools! The fight is far from over! Shoot that vessel down!” The monk snarled.
Isaik listened to Yumara speak of Ebony’s age, half of him laughed at the thought of Ebony being so aged… He would need to tell her eventually, though he was sure it would come soon enough, Isaik thought feeling the back of his tome. “Perhaps Jericha would take that very action as a reason to tryst me once again.” Hissed Isaik amused by the idea.
Again Isaik listened the story being told not that far off from one he knew himself… Each word she spoke brought him closer to just revealing his true nature…
“She is like a daughter to you in her parents absence?” Asked Isaik, her connection to Jericha after so many years had to develop certain feelings… He truly wondered what her feeling were of him, of what he truly was…
Isaik stood over Yumara examining her eyes, “As long as I live, I shall ensure my Phoenix dies as well, with his life, is hers and yours…” Isaik hissed, he could tell her perhaps… Not just was this obsession to be a true god but why and how he learned of this, his true abilities, his soul…
Isaik hissed at the words, who? What? … The gnome… His true alliagence was to the warlock, Isaik’s mortal enemy… Isaik’s form exuded shadows as hecwas ready to rectify this mistake, when Yumara fell unconscious… The rage within his was unimaginable, she was his, Salkeen wasn’t the only one with considerable greed! Isaik stood over Yumara’s body and began to pull her within himself, he would take her with him as he dealt with the two traitors…
Varicar roared summoning pins of chi that lanced into Izzabelle’s clothing trying to hold her down.
Izzabelle screams in rage and casts vanish, freeing herself from Varicar’s foul chi pins. She wouldn’t be pinned to this effing ship like a butterfly put out on display. As she vanishes she swiftly shadow steps behind him once more. Latching back onto his back she tries to remove them both from the vessel once more ”Let go!” She doesn’t want to use her weapons on him, instead she bites down into his shoulder.
Cursing in demonic and many other languages Varicar fell backward into openbair as he watched the vessel fly higher! The monk manuevered his fall into a back flip and tried to teleport forward but it wasn’t to be…
As Varicar falls Izzabelle who was grappling Varicar falls with him for but a split second. She swiftly untangles herself from him and spreads her wings. He couldn’t chase after both of them, as fast as she can she flies in the opposite direction of the vessel. Two targets were harder to subdue than one. Her flight however wasn’t as fast as she would prefer. Her wings like the rest of her was damaged. Her ears were still ringing from where Varicar had punched her moments earlier. Still she pressed on, trying the help Smuggs in anyway that she could.
Varicar continued falling landing among the cheering armies of demons with a resounding crack that knocked many off their feet. “You fools! The fight is far from over! Shoot that vessel down!” The monk snarled.
Izzabelle stops and glares down at Varicar ”I Think Not!” a giant rift about fifteen meters wide tears open in the air above her. Sacrifice she laughs as her very life force begins to empower the weapon. She would hit them with a blast of holy light that would make the Vindacar seem like a matchstick. It would be her final act… she just needed a few moments to power the attack.
Reavrix hissed in pain as his body was slammed into the Titan! “ENOUGH!” Reavrix said blasting Salkeen off him once again using overwhelming arcane power. Conjuring as much arcane power as he could the clones engaged with Maleok and Jericha wasted away as the undead demon lord began to glow with arcane energy.
Reavrix held out his hands ready to conjure a pure beam of arcane energy, he was going to vaporize the whole group of insignificant fools when a resounding crack filled the air! It was followed by another! Reavrix roared in agony as the Titan was ripped apart on the inside, the damage and pain transferred over to Reavrix who was still attached!
Reavrix’s hand exploded as the arcane energy rebounded, the demon lord falling to the ground his tentacle like extensions disconnecting. The Titan with no puppet master commanding it collapsed for good… Reavrix breathed hard into the dirt, spitting up black blood.
“I don’t need a Titan to kill you!” Reavrix snarled his face covered in his blood! Wings of undead flesh ripped free from his back and the demon lord hefted his blade! He would never give in!
Amid the explosion of Magic’s Jericha flips the void infused dagger in her hand striking out at the foul arcane atrocity. The hungering black blade slices up across its chest. Slicing through the magic holding it together. At the same time it’s sickly plagued great axe clips one of her Ethereal shoulders, it ricochets off what remains of her skeletal form. “You will have to do better than this, if you wish to kill me.” Jericha hisses as she ducks under it’s next wild swing. Once down low to the ground she snaps her leg out. Her booted foot connects with the foul copies knee. Jericha grins at the sound of a satisfying crunch, as the kneecap is shattered. As the Clone falls to its knees it swings its axe in rage. Jericha goes to dodge but isn’t able to get fully out of the way. The axe slams into her side shattering ribs and burying itself into one of her lungs… breathing just became very hard . She would be damned if she would let one of these bastards clone defeat her. She starts gathering void and fel into her hands…
As soon as the words burst through Jericha’s mind, she tried to render Izzabelle unconscious. That’s when it hit, she was no longer bound to Izzabelle. She would not be able to knock her out when needed. She would not be able to call upon her. When her physical portal destroyed her body. Izzabelle was no longer a part of her, Jericha no longer had any control over her. However right now wasn’t the time to be thinking of the traitorous wretches, Salkeen would bring her back into the fold. After all he still held her by her very soul. She is about to unleash her shadowfel amalgamation when a series of events happen
Without warning the Arcane clone suddenly wasted away as Reavrix called the magic back into himself. She wasn’t surprised the cowardly cur needed all the help he could muster to even try and harm her Lord. What happened next shocked Jericha she was thrown off her feet as the Titan collapsed, it is then that she sees her. For a brief second unimaginable rage fills her mind. What right did that son of a… have cloning her body. He and his freaking clones, and homunculi, could all just stay the hell away from her. As long as this thing that resembles her doesn’t speak or attempt to touch her they would be fine. Lord Salkeen was free to treat it however he wished, Jericha wanted nothing to do with it.
“Obviously you need something stronger, it seems your god, like you, is nothing but miserable failures.” She floats in Ethereal form to stand by Lord Salkeen’s side. Ready to strike Reavrix with the shadowfel amalgamation she held in the palms of her hands.
Maleok swung his mighty blade at the clone of Reavrix again after some distance had been made by the little elf women called Ahcire. Maleok was ill content to let the clone get away so easily and with his and Ahcire’s combined might they set upon the clone tending it unable to defend itself.
The clone hissed when it tried to defend itself from Maleok, Ahcire would lance it with arrows, but when he turned to assault the elf women Maleok would hammer him down! The clone far weaker than the original was no match for the two beings and was slowly beaten back.
Finally in a great blow Ahcire spin low filling the undead clone with arrows in his belly while Maleok managed to send the clone to the ground.
Maleok roaring in primal troll rage, shoved his fist straight into the clones back and pulled forth his spine ripping it from the clone with unbelievable force. The clone shuddered and spit but still did not die! It began to regenerate when the real Reavrix roared.
The clone wasted away as Reavrix pulled the magic back to himself, charging a spell the likes Maleok had not seen in ages! Maleok readied himself, he would not let this fiend win. Luckily at the last second the world shook violently as rippling cracks resounded in the sky! The Titan itself heaved and collapsed to the earth!
Maleok watched as Ahcire was completely caught off guard and nearly fell hard, but the massive Drakkari caught her leg ensuring she stayed nearby… It appeared her reflexes were still being honed!
Maleok stood beside Lord Salkeen and had Ahcire at his side! He lifted his new weapon, the spine and skull of Reavrix’s clone… Nothing was gonna make Maleok happier than beating the demonlord down with his own spine! Maleok and Ahcire waited for their lord to strike first then they would end this!
Salkeen gave a dark chuckle, “You needed more than a Titan to kill me!” Salkeen snarled lunging forward and clashing his blades with the one armed Reavrix, in a spectacular move the demon hunter backflipped of the attack and kicked Reavrix hard in the face with his hoof. “Now Jericha!” Salkeen commanded!
Jericha already having her shadowfel amalgamation ready sent it forward careening into the unprepared undead demon lord. The magic connected and exploded violently sending Reavrix down to his knees, but still the creature hissed and snarled trying to rise.
“Blood Binder! Now!” Maleok obeyed summoning chains of magic iron and blood that wrapped around the hissing demon lord ensnaring his arms and legs! Reavrix roared using his strength or as much as he could straining the chains they created as they were ready to break!
“Ahcire, now.” Salkeen snapped! Ahcire shot five arrows into Reavrix’s body at the thighs, shoulders and neck! The arrows formed lines of light that sent light magic surging into the demon lord!
Still Reavrix snarled, the chains creaked more as several started to break! “None can hold me! I am a god! I will!” Reavrix began to conjure magic, he was to force himself free!
“Jericha, silence him!” Salkeen snarled. Jericha obeyed casting dark void like Magic’s that stole ones ability to speak or use magic.
Finally the group was ready with a final blast of all their magic pure agony washed over Reavrix as fel licked his flesh, void classed his mind, his blood boiled and light lanced his soul. When the magic cleared Reavrix still bound looked paler and finally to exhausted to continue.
“You are nothing, you were always nothing…” Hissed Salkeen striding up to the demon lord… “And now you are my prisoner.” Salkeen snapped, he glared back at the others. “Victory!”
Isaik was enraged that one would try to betray him! The last time he was betrayed… Isaik had done so many things… Varicar was the last betrayal, his body now forever cursed to rot and create homunculi for Isaik… The other betrayer suffered a even worse fate… Isaik had erased that person from existence entirely, the body completely destroyed, the memories of this person erased from everyone… It was as if that person never existed at all…
Isaik moved quickly with Yumara in his protective care! He lunged foward, his feet seemingly turned to hooves, a tail among the tentacles trailing behind him! Isaik crashed into the sheer walls of his vessel before rematerializing on the top of his vessel! He could see them the betrayers! They would pay dearly!
Isaik hissed in rage, it was Izzabelle who had misjudged her actions! As she empowered a great spell of light so to did Isaik call the hunger void to his will! The moments were like seconds as Izzabelle unleashed a flare of light that would make Naaru blush, Isaik himself released a beam of void so dark it might have made the old gods cower. The two beings, Izzabelle and Isaik released their Magic’s at the same time! The two opposing forces meeting midair! In a blinding flash of green the sky was filled with a explosion of fel like which the universe had not seen in ages! The sky was filled with raging fire and black green smoke that blotted out the very sun! It was at this moment Isaik could feel Salkeen claim victory over Reavrix…
Isaik stood glaring out from his vessel waiting for the moment Izzabelle’s body fell from the heavens, and crashed back down to Centralis… His pateince however grew thinner as Izzabelle’s falling body never came… Above them all a atmospheric boom made Isaik growl in rage…
Isaik leapt from his ship and crashed down hard into the ground below landing among the army of demons and Varicar… “Where are they headed?” Isaik hissed…
Smuggs felt the moment both of them dropped from the ship! He wanted to keep flying he had to escape and inform him of what was going on but he couldn’t just leave Izzabelle here to suffer for his escape… Smuggs turned the ship in the sky causing it to leave a magnificent jet trail as he piloted it back down to air Izzabelle… He saw her ready to battle the whole army!
Smuggs pushed the ship harder he had to get it near her to rescue her from the possible fate of suffering, he watched as a great flare of light was summoned forth by Izzabelle and Isaik standing atop his ship sent a great beam of void to intercept it. The resulting explosion was intense radiating out from the point of light and void like a miniature atomic blast… Smuggs flew the ship close catching Izzabelle within its hull from the shattered roof as she began to fall. Whether she fell from using to much energy or taking damage from the explosion Smuggs didn’t get to know.
Smuggs pulled the ship up hard and took higher up into the sky! He heard the screams of Salkeen claiming victory over Reavrix… It was broadcast over the entire planet, all the demons there were now Salkeen’s… It was time to escape…
Flying higher and higher his vessel hidden by the blazing smoke from the explosion, Smuggs entered in rough coordinates for Azeroth and pressed the warp button! With a resounding atmospheric boom the small vessel, Izzabelle and Smuggs aboard vanished from the sky.
As Izzabelle feeds her life energy into the spell she sees Master Isaik’s citadel appear in the distance. She quickly realizes that she doesn’t have anymore time. If she is going to wipe out the rest of Salkeen’s ground enforcement, she needed to act now. With the last of her strength she send a blast of light that would make the sun jealous. At the same time Isaik releases a ray of void so powerful that it would make the void Lords stare in awe. The two collide in an explosion of fel that lights up the sky and blocks out both the planet and the sun. The angry green flames wash over Izzabelle, burning away all of her flesh, and muscles, bones melt and fuse together, internal organs liquify. She falls lifeless from the sky
Izzabelle’s body crashes through the hole in the vessels roof landing next to Sericon’s. It is only a few seconds later that her healing kicks in. Organs start remaking themselves, bones reshaping, muscles, sinew, flesh. Everything is rapidly repairing itself. She rolls to her side and sees Sericon and then she sees Smuggs in the pilots seat. She pulls herself over next to Sericon, then Turns to Smuggs. “Is there a place where we can dump this ship where both it and him” she gestured towards Sericon, “will be safe, he is one of the only reasons my mind and soul weren’t destroyed completely.” She looks around them, “I also don’t think we should remain on this vessel much longer. It belongs to a demon lord and he can probably track it. We can use my gateway as soon as we find a good area to abandon this ship.”
She leans down and brushes the hair away from Sericon’s face. She then leans down and gently kisses him. “I’m sorry, I really wish you would choose me over the legion.” With that she moves to one of the seats ready to man the guns if it became necessary. She looks at Smuggs a smile lighting her face up a little, she was going home… “Let’s get the hell out of here.” She doesn’t know how long they have before they try and reclaim them, but for now they are flying free.
They were traveling at what Smuggs could only describe was warp space, a tunnel of space that was visible when you were moving this fast. He suspected they would reach Azeroth in no time…
Smuggs glanced backwards, he had to think for a second… He saw no reason that Sericon couldn’t recuperate nearby the location he was headed!
“Don’t worry madam, I got it already covered! Well kinda…” Smuggs said, he wasn’t sure the ship would land anymore, the ship had taken massive damage it was a wonder she still flew at all!
Smuggs knew what she mean’t, he saw she cared for Sericon deeply. Smuggs himself didn’t see the reason why but that’s cause he barely knew the guy. The back story of Sericon was a mystery to him…
The flight seemed to go faster than expected, Smuggs could tell they were already near Azeroth. With a few more bursts of speed the vessel appeared in the sky on Azeroth with a loud boom… The high speed winds wasn’t something Smuggs expected so soon and the ship shuddered as it fought to stay airborne! The cheeky gnome pushed the ship forward rocking awkwardly as it seemed to be on its last legs… before them appeared a continent! Smuggs smiles slightly it had been awhile. “Welcome home!” Smuggs chirped.
The land had massive rocky pillars many of which were covered in green grass, past them were trees and fields of bamboo! Smuggs pushed the ship hard as she started growing unresponsive, narrowly dodging a rocky pillar… The gnome took the vessel over the land now leaking fel smoke from her rapidly deteriorating engines… With a hard turn pushing the nose of the vessel up Smuggs slowly the ship down considerably… A loud pop from the back signified the ship was done… “This ship is done, we need to jump soon!”
The ship ducked lower as the ship lost altitude, it crashed through the top of some bamboo shoots as it rocketed forwards! Smuggs grabbed Izzabelle’s and Sericon’s hand as he readied himself to jump. The ship flew over the beach headed out towards the ocean again before hitting the water slightly… Smuggs rugged with all his might pulling everyone of the vessel and into the cold waves waiting below! The ship however hit the water again bouncing before striking the water harder on its side and flipping into waves! A huge splash of water erupted as the vessel was taken by the water and dragged underneath the depths…
Smuggs has a hold of Sericon as he swam his way to shore! The gnome had calculated the best spot to crash into the water where they would be able to get to safety even with a unconscious man. The shore was covered in bright clean sand, some shells dotted the shore… The wind was a strong breeze that carried the smell of lotus flowers and ocean spray… Smuggs swam hard until he managed to pull Sericon ashore Izzabelle presumably right behind him… Smuggs wiped his face before showing a small smirk, “Welcome to Pandaria…”
Izzabelle reaches down and pulled Sericon closer to her. Holding him while the vessel lurched violently, as it fought against the high gusts of winds. She could tell by the amount of smoke pouring out of the engines, that this ship wouldn’t last much longer. But still the Gnomes words made her smile. Amid all the pain and madness, there was now hope. She was free, or at least as free as she could be, and she was home. She would use her gateway to go home and visit her Father and her extended family. However right now she really needed to rest. That battle had taken a lot from her, and it outdone take much longer for the psychological and emotional trauma to heal.
She didn’t need to be told twice that they needed to abandon ship. She stood up and gripped Smuggs hand, he seemed to have a firm grip on Sericon, so she left him to Smuggs. Just as the bottom of the vessel crested the waves, Izzabelle felt a slight tugging sensation. A split second later they hit the water. It felt so good, cold clean clear salty ocean water washed over her. The fresh smell of living trees, flowers and fauna fill her nose with the wonderful aroma of life. She takes it all in for a moment before swimming after Smuggs and Sericon. She crawls out of the water and up onto the beach. Rolling onto her back she stares up at the sky. Her body though healed a bit was still greatly damaged, she activates her crimson vial, she wasn’t sure how long they could rest there. She pushes herself up into a sitting position when she hears Smuggs say Welcome to Pandaria “What part of Pandaria are we in? Yumara Isaik’s newest pet, has a farm in Pandaria, I don’t want to be anywhere near it.”
She reaches over and runs her fingers lightly through Sericons hair. Let’s get to a safer area, I feel to exposed being out in the open like this. She looks at Sericon and then back at Smuggs. “Should we try and wake him up?”
Smuggs glanced around, he knew where they were, “We’re in the lower parts of the Jade Forest. We are near a old friend I know.” Smuggs said drying the water from his clothing and armor.
Smuggs thought about it for a good second before deciding against it. If Sericon proved agitated it might be easier to pacify him if they were more settled…
Smuggs looked at Izzabelle, she seemed nervous about their openness on the beach, but Smuggs gave her a small smirk, “The constant war has got you nervous!” Smuggs laughed he patted her on the back. She looked quite concerned for Sericon as well. Something that made Smuggs unsure if she would not go running back to the legion. Smuggs noticed something odd on Sericon, the wind was playfully tossing his hair around, where Izzabelle had touched it.
Smuggs was about to suggest they begin moving on inland, whilst one of them carried Sericon. When he was the waves were swirling around in artistic patterns…
“I knew you would find us but that is remarkable timing! How are you so quick?” Smuggs called out to the sky.
“It wasn’t hard, old friend, you did make quite a mess.” A smug voice cane from higher up! Sitting on a low branch was a pandaren, dressed in long robes wearing a rice hat. “After the wind said a crazed gnome was piloting a legion fighter, I only needed ask, where would he go?” The pandaren shrugged.
Smuggs called back, “Not entirely answering the question!”
The pandaren shrugged, taking a sip of some tea he was holding before standing up. Still sipping the tea, the pandaren stuck a foot out as if he was gonna walk off the ledge of the tree branch and fall, miraculously his fall was caught by seemingly nothing. The pandaren walked on air as if it was easy as a deathknight walking over water. It wasn’t long before the pandaren made it to the ground, not a single drop of tea spilt.
The pandaren bowed, “Fushan.” Fushan said looking at Izzabelle. “You seem like you have been through quite a bit.” The shaman said, looking at the unconscious elf. “Care to join me for some tea?” Fushan asked sincerely.
She glanced back down at Sericon, she was a little worried that after everything they went through to get here he was still out cold. what the hell was in that little syringe she thought as she prepares to rise to her feet. If needed she would switch to either her Aranasi, or Fel’dorei form. Or she could summon her spiders, to carry him…
Her train of thought is unrailed when the Gnome speaks. “He has my soul, the Demon Lord Salkeen is holding my soul. He hasn’t devoured it yet, but he does hold it. The connection between the two of us would be stronger if he did.” She looks up at the open sky as she speaks, a pained expression on her face. “I’m also not sure if the contract between the two of us still stands. I feel like it was broken when he signed the contract to give me to his Master, yet it was still active when we were fighting the Titan not that long ago.” She returned her gaze to Sericon, at this moment he was the only tie to everything she had been. A link to what had been so cruelly torn from her, she felt lifeless inside…she was lifeless inside, a monster from another world she laughs
Startled Izzabelle moves to put herself between The new person and Sericon. She prepares to unleash her spiders and grab them both if necessary. She had no idea if this person was hostile, but to her everything was hostile. Her hands close over her daggers as she looks up into the trees.
It takes but a second for her eyes to fall on the Pandaren sitting in the tree. She has seen him before, but at this time she doesn’t remember much more than that. She listens as the Gnome and him speak, still keeping herself between him and Sericon. “Sorry about the mess, we didn’t have time to read the landing tutorial.” She says looking at the area where their hijacked vessel had sunk mo ents earlier. She then watches in awe as the Pandaren seems to walk on the air as he makes his way down to them.
Izzabelle backs up closer to Sericon, unsure about how she felt, having someone unknown close to her. She can feel her body tremble slightly and it takes a second or two for her nerves to come back under control. “Izzabelle” she softly replies. “Yes, you could say that.” She had been through so much both the memories and the wounds were still so fresh. “Ummm no… no thanks… bbbut it was nice oooof you to ask!” After everything that just happened she didn’t trust anything. She wasn’t about to except food or drink from someone that she didn’t know. She was in this terrible state because she stupidly trusted that the word of a Demon Lord was worth something.
Fushan gave a soft chuckling laugh, “Considering only a few trees and bamboo got trimmed I must say you’re still good pilots.” Fushan said walking over to examine Sericon. Fushan made no attempt to kneel down he was just watching the elf.
Fushan smiled, “Great to meet you.” Fushan said he shrugged at Izzabelle’s refusal of tea and offered some to Smuggs who gladly took it. Fushan was not about to press Izzabelle, for now he would just observe among them. Fushan had Infact heard about the things Izzabelle spoke of early, his friendship with the wind allowed him to hear mostly everything.
Fushan looked around the forest as the wind breezed, “This beach is home to many beasts of Pandaria, let us move your friend here before some of them come across us.” Fushan explained, he could see the forest in all its wonder. Fushan was friend to the wind, it let him see the tigers that stalked the talk grass, the waves whispered to him of Saurok beneath the surface. Fushan lowered his arms to see he was of no harm, he rarely needed to carry weapons after all.
With a small gesture the wind breeze picked up around him, before breezing right into the faces of Izzabelle, Smuggs and Sericon. “He should be much lighter now. Come now, let me atleast give you a place of warm shelter.” Fushan said sincerely, he turned and started walking towards the ocean, before he placed his foot on the water and began walking across its surface. If the others followed they to would find the ability to tread the waters surface.
Smuggs was unsure how to help her with captured soul, but as they were both far off from Centralis it wasn’t something they could do something about. Smuggs tried to pat Izzabelle on the back, “You rescued me, I’ll do my best to do the same.”
Smuggs looked slightly flustered that he forget to introduce Fushan to Izzabelle himself. But what was done was done, the tiny gnome could really use some of the tea however, he wasn’t sure what he had been eating while under Isaik’s thrall.
Smuggs nudged her on her arm. Looking at her in the eyes, he tried to calm her. “I can see your nervous, don’t worry though, if there’s anyone I trust it’s Fushan. I mean just look at how the elements respond to him.” Smuggs said hoping to ease her fears, he knew she was on edge. But in Pandaria these fears could be relaxed a bit.
Smuggs scratched the back of his head, bit said nothing.
Smuggs perked his eye brows at the words. “Your running out of tea aren’t you?” Smuggs said curiously, it seemed Fushan was gonna take them back to his lodge.
Smuggs wasn’t particularly a fan of having wind blown in his face, but it was way better than fel fire! As Fushan began to move onward Smuggs did what he would next, he hefted Sericon over his shoulder and carefully walked after the shaman. Looking back, he saw the worry still in Izzabelle’s eyes. “Don’t worry, he should be waking up soon! But I think he might be more agreeable when he wakes up, if he wakes up near a warm fire!” Smuggs said trying to get Izzabelle to follow.
