Draig looked up and found that there was a woman standing before him, her dark hair framing her face was rather alluring but then again what beauties hadn"t the Feratu seen. He had been the want of many women and had even stayed among the Elves in their city, he wouldn"t be hypnotized by the s.e.x appeal of this woman.
"You are the one called Draig. . ." asked the girl calmly.
"Who is asking" asked the Feratu suspiciously, the day hadn"t started well with the people who had formed a faction under him ditching and then someone hoping to pick at the remnants. All these things considered it wasn"t odd for Draig to wary of the person before him, then again he hadn"t done too well on making friends since arriving at the Deva Grounds.
"Someone who wishes to follow you" stated the girl she wore a short robe that stopped at her knees and had a small kodaichi strapped to her back, she seemed very serious but this was only from Draig"s initial glance.
"There"s no faction to join so you can stop wasting your time as well as mine" called Draig as he stood up intent on heading to his room that no longer had the protection of Runes.
"I still wish to follow you. . ." called the girl adamantly.
"Seems she doesn"t know how to take no for an answer. . . poor misguided girl" thought Draig as he ignored her and went to his room to lay down.
He needed to figure out what was happening with his mana in order to properly use his Runes, he didn"t know how long he would be able to rely on his hybrid form but if he kept using it without his sword or Avatar"s manifesting then he was certain he would be mistaken for a demon.
The Feratu was confident in his ability to fight off these Deva trainees, at least the weaker one"s but he was sure that he hadn"t even scratched the tip of the ice berg when it came to the true talents lying within the Deva grounds. If they decided to join the hunt it was only a matter of when rather than if he would be defeated.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he found his path blocked by the girl, Draig"s eyes widened slightly as he had been distracted and hadn"t noticed her move from her previous position.
"She"s quick without a doubt but I can"t let just anyone near me at the moment, it"s too risky to fraternize with any simple person that claims they wish to follow me. Especially now when I am not at my peak" thought Draig pus.h.i.+ng the girl to the side and attempting to leave her behind.
To emphasize the attempt he found himself pulled back to the girl as she grabbed his hand and held it over her heart causing the Feratu to gawk as he forgot himself and any pretense he possessed.
"Allow me to follow you or I will tell my grandfather you molested me" stated the girl planting Draig"s hand hard enough to leave a print.
"This girl. . . . ." thought Draig as he couldn"t help but find this situation ridiculous though in a way the girl before him reminded him of Sylvie with the way she said things so simply, truly the only thing lacking was speaking to herself in the third person.
Though Draig had to wonder at the same time who was this girl"s grandfather for her to use him as a threat, honestly such confidence in making him submit by simply saying that made him wary. It would be best if he didn"t offend someone who could be one of the Old Monsters residing in this world.
Though he thought this he wasn"t going to be threatened so easily, if this girl really wanted to follow him so bad then he would make her regret it.
"Very well, then make yourself useful as a follower and make me some tea." stated Draig pulling his hand from the girl"s grasp but found her grip was in fact stronger than he had antic.i.p.ated.
"s.h.i.+t. . ." thought Draig as he had just barely been thinking about keeping a low profile until he regained his strength due to the hidden powers in the Deva grounds only for one to find him and take interest.
"This has something to do with that stupid woman who sent me here I am certain" thought Draig with a silent curse.
In that mysterious cavern the woman who had stripped Draig of his abilites and sent him to the world of the Deva laughed raucously, she in fact had no part to play in this developement but she would be lying if she said she wasn"t enjoying it.
Particularly she enjoyed the face Draig made when the girl before him and had forced him to grope her in order to blackmail him.
"Ha Ha Ha, little Vampire you are far more entertaining than Feras ever was and I watched him for generations roam about mucking up the worlds I sent him to. I should do something to spice this up, let"s see where she comes from and try and make this more interesting" chuckled the woman as she focused on the girl and began tracing her origins only for her face to freeze and her eyes to widen before a smirk began building upon her face.
"Excellent, truly a marvelous occurrence. Let"s get this started then" laughed the woman once again as she dipped her fingers into the orb and began stirring oddly.
"Let"s see just how disastrous things will become when we alter some personalities. . . ." as the woman stared at Lord Asura in particular, she then changed a few events that had occurred due to her with the Subaras.h.i.+ dynasty.
"Things will truly begin to heat up now" chuckled the woman as she removed her fingers and gazed at the orb with a look of captivation.
Unknown to Draig some of the events he had experienced were changed and his memory remained the same, this was all for the woman"s entertainment
