Her eyes went wide when he disappeared from her line of sight. Her blades slashing air pissed her off even more. Suddenly the blow to her head sent her crashing to the floor with the sound of cracking bone and vertebrate. Viper used the tip of her left blade to redirect her momentum from that blow by spinning on it. Using the same momentum plus adding more by kicking her legs back, she swung her legs around towards Dreaken’s, if they hit he would discover her hidden weapons, mid calf to tip of heal blades attached to the back of her boots. Her razor whip trailing her would be her back up if she missed. Viper would end the move by pushing off with her weapon and landing in a squatting position ready for her next attack. With a horrific sound of cracking bone, she realigned her head into position as her broken neck healed itself. Her eyes went dull, the anger gone from them.

Seeing as the woman would have to regain control of her movements, Draeken had ample time to watch her actions and prepare to counter them adequately. As she began to swing her legs towards his, he would jump directly up to the high ceiling, flipping at the last moment so that his feet met with the smooth surface of the ceiling. Kneeling there, he placed his hand on the ceiling in front of himself and surprisingly, stayed there. His hair hung towards the floor, but his clothing seemed unnaffected by gravity. Looking at the woman with a grin and his head tilted once again he spoke then, cheerily, yet with a cold seriousness. "Really woman. Must you continue this folley? If there is something you wish to speak with me about, I'm perfectly accepting of a civil conversation. I feel there is some missunderstanding about who you think I am or who you think you are perhaps. I'm not above trying to figure it all out in a more peaceful manner. Though...Perhaps I could use you. Add you to my collection if you will?"
A: Aethi nodded to Ari. "She does seem to allow that to happen. Kind of reminds me of some people we know more closely around here." She chuckled to herself then.

Her anger all but gone, she looks up at him and lets her self fall on her butt. Her head hanging low.
It’s not the same, you’re not him. You’re not my father.
Viper let he blades fall and just shook her head in disgust with herself. She stretches her neck as the last of the damage repairs itself. Viper begins to stand up and puts away her Serpent Blades and wraps her whip around her waist. She looks down at her skirt to see that her boot blades left big gashes in it.
I’ll have to keep looking for him.

Dropping to the floor lightly, Draeken frowned in thought. "Just who is your father, if you don't mind my asking? Perhaps I know of him and could be of assistance?" He stood looking at her, thinking of anyone he knew that could have possibly fathered such a violent child.

Viper looked at him and chuckled.
If I knew that I wouldn’t be here making an a** out of my self. To be honest I don’t even know his name, the only thing the priests that raised me said was that he was the failed attempt to resurrect the "Great Serpent God" and that he was the best choice because his body was already accustomed to absorbing countless types of powers. I’m sure the priests knew more than they told me but I couldn’t even torture the info out of them.
She finished tearing the slits, in the back of her skirt, that she made with her boot blades. Now you could see clearly that the razor edge began at the top of her boot and ended as the replacement to her spike heels.
You are the closest thing to that description I have ever sensed, but as soon as you hit me I could tell that you don’t have a single trace of serpent in you. What a Shame.

Becoming intrigued now, Draeken smiled. "Unfortunate. I'd like to help you in your search, but I've never heard of the Serpent God or someone resurrecting it. But tell me more about it. Perhaps I could still be of some use. Though I may not have the blood needed...It's possible I could attain it."

I’m not looking to resurrect the Serpent and I killed every last priest that I came across. All I could do was study their teachings, legends and rituals but what I can gather is that it takes decades to prepare the vessel meaning that someone had to be close to my father since he was a baby. I did learn that just because the ritual failed once didn’t mean that they couldn’t try again with him but it would be almost impossible now that he was free of their influence.
Viper looks at her thumbs to see if the cuts healed, the blood that covered her hands had dried and was useless now.
So what? You looking to take in more power? You seam to have the lions share already. Careful or you might end up with exactly what you want.

Nodding as he listened to her story he shrugged. "Well. I guess bringing to life some god or another then absorbing it is out of the question." He chuckled to himself then sat upon the floor as if it were normal. "And yes. I shall need more strength. What I have now is maybe just enough to go toe to toe with some of my enemies...I want to crush them for things they have done."

Viper looked down on Draeken.
OH a revenge story, I love those. But you know there are other ways of increasing your powers than just waiting to suck on the neck of the next powerhouse that crosses your path.
She hikes her skirt up and sits down cross legged in front of him.
Or do you just enjoy the thrill of the fight?

Aria stayed where she was, her eyes narrowed, what was this woman after? She looked to her lover and quirked a brow in question. Asking a silent question only they could hear.
"Can You read her thoughts?"

Shaking his head, Draeken sighed. "Most other means of attaining power are not possible for me. Though...Though if you know of a way I can use besides my current method then I'm all ears." He thought then on her last statement then grinned widely. "And yes. I actually do like the fight a bit. It's quite thrilling."
A: Aethi shook her head and whispered back, "That's not how it works...I can't just pry into her mind..." She shrugged then and looked to Ari. "I think anything real interesting is finished. Shall we take our leave of the scene and find something else to do?"

Let’s make a deal, you let me stay here and help me find my father and I’ll help you perform the rituals needed to take in the Serpent into your body. Normally it takes decades to prepare someone but that’s because the changes have to be done gradually or it can be excruciatingly painful. Some thing tells me that you wouldn’t mind that.
Viper saw Aethi walk away and thought that the girl wasn’t bad to look at. She was running her nail along the stone floor and batted her eyes.
.
So what do you think? Can I join your happy little family?

"I just though I'd ask." Aria said with a smile. She saw the woman checking out Aethi and slight anger flared within but melted to a smirk as she took Aethi's face in her palms and kissed her passionately, tracing Aethi's lower lip with her tongue, grinning at the woman before wrapping an arm around her lovers waist and walking towards the house. "Let's ...."

Viper laughed out loud at the desperate display of affection. She placed her palm on the stone floor and it began to ripple. Viper dug her fingers into the stone and ripped out a chunk as if it were clay; slowly it began changing shape until it looked like a rough image of Aria and Aethi kissing.
I’m told that I inherited this skill from my father even if I’m not nearly as skilled at it as he is.
