In the Blood or in the Soul

"Well that's kind of impossible given the fact that Sori over there is a girl. But whatever tickles your fancy I suppose." She huffed and laid out in the cage staring at the ceiling. "Can I get out now? I really promise not to run this time.... honest..." It was laced with mock sincerity.

i shake my head "i used to be a man ignacy was my name had too much heat on me so my companions decided gender change was in my best interests".

"likely a wise choice" the golem turn "though until your daughter learns to act like the adult she appears to be she will continue to be treated like a child"

She rolled her eyes. "Unless she stops acting like a child..." Her voice was twisted and mocking the golem's voice. "She has to stay in the cage." She rolled over and looked to them. "Would you listen to yourselves? So what if she thinks I'm her daughter. I'm not. Just open this cage, I'll go home, and then everyone will be happy. You two can just... pretend like you took care of me or whatever it is you want of this."

i nod at the golem ignoring aruna for now "she does have a certain behavioural likeness to me doesnt she?".

"more then slight." the Golem confirms "Now to correct you girl, I did not say you would stay in the cage, i said you would be treated like a child." the drones begin to dismantle the cage "unfortunately you likely would not respond to normal discipline measures" it taps against an armored haunch, " an interesting puzzle"

The moment the cage began to dismantle, she was on her feet looking for the proper moment to begin trying to find the door again.

i look at aruna and ask awkwardly "soooo hows Aidith doing?".

"Fine. Though if I'm gone too long she'll kill me this time for sure..." Her focus was on the widening gap of her cage as the bot continued to dismantle.

i look at her and ask "so this isnt the first time youve been gone?".

"No, this is the first time I have been gone." She leapt at the opening and began worming her way out. She caught her arm on a corner but kept squirming regardless of the pain and deep gash it produced. Flopping out of the cage unceremoniously, she got to her feet and hissed as her arm knitted itself shut.

i gesture at the door while the golem isnt looking as i walk out the door i shout to the golem "just send my sword per courier when youre done with it".

Sori walked right into a figure that was easily a foot taller than her. It was blatant that it was a female succubus but it's hair told it's age. Nearly completely bald in this form, dark crimson braids originating from the back of her head slipped down either side of her neck to rest on her ample chest. Horns, large and domineering arched up and back as expected of a full blooded demonic creature of ample power as herself. Her skin was a deep ashen purple and her pointed tail whipped around quickly to skewer Sori through the abdomen fully. "You smell of her... Give her to me and I will not rip your organs out."

i draw my handgun and the knife saying "miss i dont know what you are talking about and i dont need my organs to survive".

"You honestly think a knife and a handgun are going to keep me from her?" Reaching out swiftly, she wrapped a hand around Sori's throat before flooding her with her own energy. "Where is she?"

having lost all means of physical resistance i surround myself in fire saying "i have no clue what you are talking about".

Aidith hissed deeply as the flames smoldered and charred her skin before revealing new skin beneath it in a cycle of endless pain and rebirth. Tearing her tail from her, a few bit of her organs went with it. "Next is your heart girl."

i spit blood in her face and smirk "which one of them?".

She slid her tail back into the exit wound before arching it up within her. Slowly, it pressed upwards through Sori's liver. "All of them if need be. You need only tell me where she is and I will release you. Perhaps you are enjoying this? You can't enjoy it anymore though if you are dead."

i gasp for breath as her tail goes through my body defiantly i say "you cant kill me noone can and i already told you i dont know where she is".

Her tail continued upward, pressing against Sori's stomach before slicing into a section of it as well. "You smell like her. You have had contact with her. Her name is Aruna and I want her back."

i shake my head slowly "aroona? havent heard of it sounds like a fast food chain".

Her tail pressed against Sori's diaphragm. "You are about to lose the ability to breathe properly girl." She flooded her with another wave of energy which turned all the pain to pleasure. "I can make this last longer if you do tell me. Tell me where my girl is..."

i laugh "if i lose the abillity to breathe you lose your only allegded lead and youl never find what you are looking for oh and by the way you dont know who you are messing with".

She chuckled darkly. "They all say that." She jabbed her tail through the diaphragm a bit before yanking her tail free of her and dropped Sori to the ground. "Enjoy your slow death girl. You've earned it."
