Mise paused as she looked at where Juno pointed then frowned. "The trail left behind... the warparty here should be bigger." As Juno looked around, she noticed someone who looked to be important.
“Understood, Mistress.” Icena replied as her mind focused on the new task. “May I know where we will be going? Do I need to make any preparations, such as wearing particular clothes?” She asked, the two most obvious questions.
"King Onaga's courtiers and generals have the biggest grasp over Outworld armies and resources. Various rebel groups may try to do something but their window of opportunity is rather small." Izana stopped and turned to face Rina. "A weak puppet will quickly be put down." Izana snapped in a disapproving tone.
"We are going to a party~" Crystal hummed as she leaned back in her seat. "You are my guard and you shall present yourself as such. Nice to the eye, dangerous and unapproachable. Your task will not require you to talk or interact with anyone - just standing guard and keeping an eye on everything."
"I see mistress." Rina decided to stopped asking questions about politics of outworld. "So, what about this new technics which you wanted to teach me, mistress?"
“So I just need to look professional, stand around, and observe. Understood.” Icena nodded. “Is there anything else I need to know or do, Mistress?” There probably wasn't, but she wanted to double check, just in case.
Spoiler: Combat Actions Punch, Punch Valerian saw the kick coming and pushed his fist out. Hoping the momentum of the kick would augment the force of his punch. Then he prepared another strick with his fist to hopefully hit him while he was off-guard, aiming for the gut.
The woman looks considerably strong. It was hard to gauge her true capabilities in first appearance, but the scars told her this woman was no stranger to war. She’d be the forgemaster’s priority to take down publicly. Then again… “They may be busy with a raid. That would leave them vulnerable now. We may not get a better chance.”
Izana smirked as the two made their way up the stairs. "Oh? Eager to learn, aren't you~" She asked, looking at Rina curiously.
Crystal paused for a moment. "Hmm... No." As she spoke Icena got an impression that there was something more that her mistress wanted to say... no, something more she was expecting. "Now go - find appropriate clothes and meet me in an hour by the front gate." She commanded.
Spoiler: combat Valerian Health 6 Stamina 10 Bandit Health 2 Stamina 8 Actions punch,? Valerian's punch hit the man in stomach - but as he followed up the man moved to the side, dodging the next attack completely. He then moved forward, striking at Valerian with a punch.
Mise hummed. "Or this is a trap. That's for our leaders to decide. We seen enough, let's return." The woman said as she waved her hand, ordering all the present to slowly move back and retreat.
Rina nod with happyness. "Oh yes mistress. I always knew there is much more what I could do, with proper training and knowlege." She add in her mind, how it would be glorious to show rest of the students and servants who is their supeirior. Of course, except sorceress Izana.
The woman smiled as she turned around and approached Rina. "I can smell your ambition~" She said as she moved closer, stepping closer like a predator. "Your strive for power, you lust for knowledge, your pride and desire for respect." She reached out and put her hand on Rina's cheek as she stepped next to her.
Rina embrace touch of Izana, looking in her eyes, despite knowing it was dangerous stare into predator eyes." Yes, mistress Izana. I want to grow up, with my own hands to achieve success." She said to Rina, putting hand on her hip. Bold move, reckless and maybe stupid, but Rina senses challenge from mistress.
"Oh?" The woman hummed as she moved behind Rina. Suddenly she gripped her hair and pulled back, making Rina arch and stumble back - the woman could feel sorceress' breasts pressing against her back. A hand grabbed her throat, squeezing a little. "Just remember, to whom you stay loyal to~" The sorceress whispered into her ear.
Rina breath faster as Izana toss her in her hands like little doll, reminding to her how much is distance between her and sorceress in term of skills. "Ah. To you. Mistress Izana. I'm loyal to you since day when I first stepped in your tower." Rina said, hardly catching breath of choking, but that also turn her on a little, as she feels sorceress breast on her back.
“As you command, Mistress.” Icena bowed and left the study. As she walked away she frowned, She had the feeling she had missed something, but she could not figure out what... Well, nothing I can do about it now... She sighed and headed back to her quarters. Once there she looked through the contents of her wardrobe, searching for something that was elegant and suited for the party, yet was easy to move in and would not restrict her movements, in case she had to fight. Eventually she chose a light blue outfit that did not show any skin beyond the minimum required and made her seem rather cold and unapproachable, as required of her. Once she was satisfied with her outfit and overall appearance Icena made her way to the front gate, making sure to arrive early, just in case. (Don't have a picture for Icena's outfit, but I assume it won't matter anyway.)
"Oh? And just how far, that loyalty of yours go?" Izana asked as her hand moved down, from Rina's throat, sliding under her top and cupped her breast. The other hand still held Rina by hair.
(What - of course it matters! It's a setting with sexy fit people beating each other up! Sexy outfits are another selling points of mortal kombat ) After Icena arrived at the gate, she didn't have to wait long as Crystal arrived soon after. She did not comment on Icena's clothes, merely looked her over. She walked out waving for Icena to follow. As the two were making their way through the city, the two could admire the city at night - people were cheering, talking/having fun after long day... it was a sight of tranquil.
