The Sound Of Someone Elses Voice Startled Lucette, Causing Her To Yelp And Whirl Around, Only To Pause

The sound of someone else’s voice startled Lucette, causing her to yelp and whirl around, only to pause when she laid eyes on....what was talking to her.

’Well, that’s different.’

Different was putting it nicely. The man looked like a frost bitten corpse who had been dug up and dressed in Mooshu like clothing. Pale ashen skin with a blue tint, odd colored eyes, and the mask covering half of his face didn’t help. And that sickle hanging off his hip looked a bit too sharp in her opinion. She decided to answer the question but keeping her Royal title hidden. You never know.

”I....I am Lucette Favero of Valencia. Who is it that I am speaking to? And are you human or otherwise?”

Many would think that a rude question but considering her situation and the man’s odd appearance, Lucette thinks it’s a well deserved one. If he is a hoodoo possessed or controlled creature, she would rather know upfront than later. It didn’t help that he was wearing armor and she....wasn’t. She was dressed in Terrus’ shirt, Maria’s odd trousers she called “shorts” and odd shoes that Maria called “sneakers”. Nothing one would wear to a fight.

She kept one hand close to her hip, palm open, prepared to summon a fireball if he tried something.

“Oh, come on, there has to be someone up here.”

‘Believe it or not, there are places that mortals don’t spread to.’

Lucette ignored her snarky remarks, focused on looking around. There weren’t any paths that suggested travel in these parts. Nothing really looked recognizable to her. She couldn’t see the sun to pinpoint her direction and the air was cold and thin, suggesting that she was at a higher altitude than usual. So she was essentially lost.

“Maybe I should just walk forward and hope for the best?”

‘Hope for the-Have you lost your mind?! Walking with no goal or idea of your location is the worst thing someone in your position can do!’

“Well, what else am I supposed to do? There are no noticeable landmarks around and I don’t recognize this place! In case you haven’t noticed, I’M LOST!” Now she was getting annoyed. Instead of being helpful, the voice was just being an ass.

Ever direction she looked it was all the same. Some mountains with some snow, trees, trees, and more trees.

“HELLOOOOOOO! I’M LOST! IS SOMEONE OUT THERE?!” She screamed out louder, scaring away a few birds.

‘Yes, scream your lungs out in the mountains.That will definitely help.’ Lucette didn’t need to look at her to know that the voice was rolling her eyes.

“For someone who loves to talk and be right, I don’t see you giving any good ideas.”

Bi-Han quirked an eyebrow as he came closer to the girl. How did she get out here of all places? The Changbai Mountains were a gorgeous tourist attraction, though this was… September? Pretty certain this was September, the weather was starting to set in, with increased snow and cooler temperatures. Most people wouldn’t be stepping a foot out of their homes to this place during this weather.

“Who are you, girl?”

He sheathes the sickle back into its loop at his side. thick arms crossed over his chest. She was lost, or another trick from Outworld: her appearance reminded him a little of Jade, the lover of the Osh-Tekk war god Kotal Kahn, though she did not have any sisters the last he recalled. Or not any that she had bothered with revealing the last time they met.

Oh… maybe he shouldn’t have revealed himself, now that he gave that a little thought. His appearance just wasn’t the… most human out there, what with his ashen pale skin, blue tinted lips that gave him the appearance of a hypothermic corpse. Took even Kuai Liang a solid three weeks before he finally accepted the fact of his appearance. Oops.

Saibot’s very audible sigh rattles in his ear, though he paid him no need, pale eyes peering over the covering of his metal mask at her: ‘Brilliant, now watch her run off thinking she’s seen a ghost, probably off the nearest cliff.’

Wait....so that Episode 21 summary translation of that shitshow is real??????

They turned that demon lady into the “spurned/grieving woman” trope????

You gotta be fucking kidding me. Every time I think Sunrise can’t sink any lower, they say “bet” and dig.

Why do they keep beating Toga’s dead corpse? Somehow, despite being dead asf, he still managing to cause trouble. Toga this, Toga that, why don’t y’all go Toga some good writing. 

With the amount of shit Toga is involved in, you’d think we’d actually get to see the damn mofo more than an apparition and a still shot.

How tf did that demon lady wish on the jewel????? 

She cried so hard that her tears apparently turned into rainbow pearls??????

WHAT IS THIS SHITSHOW? WHAT IS THIS HELL OF A PLOT?

THANK GOD I DECIDED NOT TO WATCH THAT SHOW.

I dodged a fucking nuke.

Kagome and Gaia’s Friendship

You know what I loved most about Chapter 8?

The friendship and teamwork between Kagome and Gaia. And the way they support each other.

This is Kagome’s and Gaia’s first fight (technically Gaia’s 2nd but she slipped into a haze midway in that one sooo....yeah) and the first time they (attempt) to use their powers with precision. 

Even when people were doubting them, the girls were able to make up a plan and communicate effectively with minimal chatter. A sentence or two, a gesture, and that was all that Gaia needed to understand. They combined their powers, that they barely understand yet, and pulled it off perfectly!

Well, almost perfectly.

Kagome trusts Gaia to have her back in dangerous times and Gaia trusts Kagome with the same thing, Despite being friends for a short amount of time, they were able to pull off a seemingly stupid plan pretty easily imo.

Its so cool to see and even cooler to write and it almost makes me regret what I’m about to do in the upcoming chapters........

Almost ;)

So enjoy the teamwork while y’all can!

“Again, all this fucking lore and they opted for making Toga a damn man whore…I-” They really have Toga out here wagging his tail at every woman in a 5 mile radius of him. 

“And what about Kirinmaru? What about his territory. Guess we’ll never see that. I just…WHAT IS THE FUCKING PLOT…” THIS! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED! I want to know about the demon society! I want to know about the other demon lords! I want to know about Kirinmaru, and the East and how he rules his territory and how it all works! TELL ME ABOUT DEMON CULTURE, DAMMIT!

We know the BARE MINIMUM! 

Kirinmaru is the Lord of the East yet it seems he has little interest in ruling it????? So how does it all work? Do the demon lords rule the lands or is it just a fancy title to show that they are powerful????

GIVE US SOME WORLDBUILDING!

Cassandra, what’s your beef with Lucette?

“.....Beef? Beef implies that this is a two way street kind of conflict. A mutual exchange. Something that both opponents agree is happening. 

I don’t know if you’re stupid or you are clueless, but I don’t fucking care so let’s start. 

I do not have any “beef” with the girl. I can’t have beef with something who is ignorant of what she has and refuses to acknowledge it. A little girl who’s head is stuck in the clouds is no threat against me and barely an opponent.

She is merely an obstacle in my path to my goal. I want to move her out of my path and she refuses to in her blindness. Therefore, I have to move her forcefully and she resists. 

That is all it is. A child throwing a tantrum about being moved from a spot that was never theirs to begin with. Hope you learned something useful from this.”

Cassandra gives you a sharp smirk but the fiery glow in her eyes said another thing. Do not ask this question again.
