XXXAcri opened her mouth to reply, distracted by Nahara's display, hesitating before closing her mouth without saying a word. She had held her finger up as if formulating a sentence but wasn't quite sure what to say. Did she tell them why she was here? That she was a mod-soul with a touch of hollow taint? That she was trying to understand that nature and even how that could come to be? "I got a touch of hollow energy. Wanted to see if I could...expand on that."
Acri had replied, only telling half the truth. She still didn't trust the two, though the beast seemed more...reasonable. If that even meant anything here. He seemed less inclined to prey on her, one way or another. This spider lady was very interested in Acri, needless to say, it was slightly off-putting. She was very...handsy to say the least. While she arced along where Nahara's fingers traced, Acri was not entirely welcoming of the advance. She had no desire for any carnal pleasure. But perhaps a deeper relationship with another being wouldn't be so bad. It had been some time since she had felt something other than the lingering caress of smoke upon her pale skin.

Reiatsu 65 | Speed 10 | Strength 15 | Defense 10 | Stamina 10 | Intelligence 10 | Spiritual Power 10 Raion considered his answer before he spoke to the spider hollow. “I heard a commotion and came to see what it was. Idle curiosity, that is all.” His tail would whip about behind him some, betraying his restlessness. He didn’t trust this other hollow, though really he didn’t trust any hollow. Hollows were predators, and had no problem preying on each other. It would be foolish to trust one. He then turns to the other person, who wasn’t a hollow. After hearing her answer, his ears pricked up. “Someone who isn’t a hollow having a touch of our powers? Now that is truly interesting. Wouldn’t mind learning about how that works myself.”

Lady Kumo smirked impishly as she registered the discomfort in this newcomer, felt her recoil at her touch. Nahara was enjoying toying with this girl, a lamb lost in the wolf’s den. She listened silently, her smile never fading, as the girl explained that she had somehow inherited hollow powers, and was looking to discover more about them. So she was a hueco hybrid… Nahara was becoming more intrigued by this girl by the second. She moved closer to the girl, merely inches from her, and sniffed deeply, a light moan of sensory pleasure escaping her lips, as if she were smelling something delicious
”Oh yes~ You are practically brimming with hollow energy! How interesting…”
She gave Acri a few feet of space, withdrawing her hand, and turning her attention to the more-bestial figure. The other hollow. ”Clearly I’m not the first hollow to touch her…~”
Nahara licked her lips seductively, more out of reflex than out of a desire to be seductive. She was seductive without trying, usually. Paced her circular path around the girl, her eyes raking over every detail of the girl’s body, drinking it all in. A earthbound soul with hollow energy was a rarity, especially in the sands of Hueco Mundo. This girl clearly was not for eating.
”The question is, sweetie, how much do you want to know, and how far are you willing to go to learn it?~”
XXXThe sheepish expression of worry and simplicity finally faded. Replaced was a confident grin as Acri flipped the "coffin" off of her back and unravelled the canvas from the heavy spinning blade. The hunk of iron impacted against the sand and lodged itself in the ground, remaining upgridght with no further handling of its owner. "I'm willing to feign fear and naivete to get close enough to a hollow that is trying to prey on me~" Acri replied to Kumo, this time being the one to lean in close and run a finger long the woman's neck up to the base of her chin; Her nail slightly dug into the flawless skin, but not enough to draw blood.
"But that was the truth. I am a hueco-hyrbid. And I want to gain power and knowledge here." She said with a grin, grabbing the handle of the blade and spinning it back onto her back. The smoke that wisped around her coalesced into a form of its own, the red mask at her waist forming a face upon the inky shroud of dark embers. The smoke was her other body, Akai. The other side of the coin that was Acri. "You both can call me Acri. This, this is Akai. Some people call us ogres." She hooked a thumb over her shoulder at the floating noh mask. Two wolf-like hues had entered the vacant slots of the eyes, the yellow discs now focusing on the two hollows in front of the pair.

Reiatsu 65 | Speed 10 | Strength 15 | Defense 10 | Stamina 10 | Intelligence 10 | Spiritual Power 10 Raion chuckles. “Predator that feigns being prey, how interesting. And I am also interested in a Hueco Hybrid. It is always interesting to meet those mortals who have survived an attack by one of our kind.” His tail whips around a few times in excitement. He stretches out, curling his back some, and digs his claws into the ground before straightening back up. “I would also be curious in seeing what a mortal could do with hollow reiryoku. In fact, I think it could be interesting to train them in using it.” He peers curiously at Acri and Akai. “Call me Raion if you want a name.”

”Oh!~”
The gasp of surprise that came from Lady Kumo was not one of displeasure, but of surprised excitement. Her chin lifted reflexively and her breath caught in her throat as the girl traced one of her own fingers on Nahara’s neck. He smile faltered, but then only widened into a grin of pleasure.
”You’re full of surprises, aren’t you…?~” she said, her voice like poison honey. She was becoming more and more interested in this girl, and not just as a snack. Her coy smile lingered as the girl backed away, spinning the parcel on her back, revealing it to be some sort of spinning bladed weapon. This girl was full of surprises indeed.
”You may call me Nahara… or Queen. Whichever you prefer…~”
She gave a light chuckle at her own joke, if it was really a joke in the first place. She certainly wouldn’t oppose being referred to as Queen. Especially by this morsel.
As if suddenly remembering that he was there, she turned to Raion.
”And you say idle curiousity brought you into my web… Interesting. Don’t you know how much danger you could be in, if I were hungry?” She laughed again, the sound like warm silk.
”But nevertheless, here you both are, like two lambs in the lion’s den.” Her pacing circle widened to include Raion, as well as Acri, as her name appeared to be.
”In any case, it’s a pleasure-” the word “pleasure” left her lips in a way that was ambiguous ”-to met you both”
XXX"I'm not even sure I did." Acri muttered in response to Raion's comment. Surviving a hollow attack was rare, and she was not a human regardless of their beliefs. With each of them introduced, and each being forward about their apparent interests. "If you want to teach me, I will learn." She nodded to the beast warily.
"Lamb? Ha!" Acri laughed as the smoky demon behind her encircled her arms, the mask once more coming to rest upon her waist. She flexed her fingers as Nahara, this self-proclaimed queen, circled around Acri and the talking beast. This game was fun for Acri, a push and pull of predator and prey; The difference between who was hunting who a razor's edge.
Acri fell back onto her buttocks, leaning backwards as she casually reclined in front of the two hollows. The sword strapped to her back came to rest in a horizontal position, the strap straining to hold the weight of the hunk of metal. "Alright queen. Its a pleasure to be welcomed in your den." The remark was genuine but the word queen left her lips with a small amount of venom.

Reiatsu 65 | Speed 10 | Strength 15 | Defense 10 | Stamina 10 | Intelligence 10 | Spiritual Power 10 Raion looks at the other hollow. “No more danger than anywhere else in Hueco Mundo. One does not survive hear without understanding dangerous. Nor without being dangerous themselves.” He gives a grin. “And I see no lambs, only lions. I see three predators.” He circles the area, not trying to leave, but unable to stay still any longer. He then sits back himself, his tail making circles in the around behind him without him seeming to pay attention to it. “I would love to teach you about using hollow reiryoku. I want to see its effects in the hands of a mortal.”

Lady Kumo was enjoying herself, toying with these two newcomers, but it seemed as if these two were not as intimidated as she had hoped. That was fine, there were other ways she could have fun with these two. She suddenly lurched backwards, ascending a wall-covered web and standing on the ceiling, hanging down with an impish grin.
Oh! So I’m the one in danger, with a couple fierce lions prowling in my den…~”
She descended on a thin thread of web, until she was nearer the two newcomers.
”It’s been so long since I’ve had a chance to play with someone without eating them. What did you have in mind?”
A hueco hybrid and a hollow, stumbling into her web. They were lucky she wasn’t in the mood for hunting (and was still full from her earlier hunt). Nahara was not much of a fighter as these other two seemed to be. She preferred to strike with the element of surprise.
XXX"I have no intention of fighting. But if y'all start somethin'.." She gave a playful wink to Lady Kumo to punctuate the sentence while scratching her knee unceremoniously. She was unfamiliar with the area and wasn't quite sure how to even start harnessing hollow reiryoku. Though Raion seemed nice enough to be able to point her in the right direction and even offered to tutor her. "Sure, anything you can show me would be good." She leaned forward on her knees, gesticulating wildly as she talked. She could feel the energy of the land swirling around her, but it wasn't as strong here. In fact, there were several locations nearby that seemed to exude the tainted soul energy of the hollows nearby. Perhaps that was where she needed to be to truly harness her hollow lineage.

Raion Yagi Suneku
Reiatsu 65 | Speed 10 | Strength 15 | Defense 10 | Stamina 10 | Intelligence 10 | Spiritual Power 10 Raion gets to his paws, stretching as if he had been sitting a while. It was going to be a bit of a journey, so it would be good to loosen up before setting out. “If you want to train, and aren’t used to hollow reiryoku, I know an area where it is somewhat stronger and easier to access. Always good for training. It is a decent trek if you don’t mind it.” He says this to Acri, figuring Kumo would follow if she was interested. He truly wanted to see what something that wasn’t a hollow could do with hollow power. Would it react differently or appear the same? Would it harm them because they weren’t a hollow? So many questions, they were overwhelming his urge to feed with curiosity. And if the answers were boring, he could always still just try to feed.

Lady Kumo smiled her impish grin as she looked back and forth between the two newcomers. Ther spoke of training, the more monsterous one speaking of a place where hollow energy would be easier to access. There were many such places in Hueco Mundo, of course. Nahara even thought she could guess which one this hollow was speaking of. However, she was curious to see what the female newcomer could do, Acri as she said her name was. Acri and Raion. They both seemed interested in testing the capabilities of this hybridized girl, a lion as she called herself. Nahara descended on a string of silk, landing gracefully on her feet and following the other two.
XXX"Lead the way." Acri responded to Raion, standing as she lifted the blade back up onto her shoulder. Sand dislodged from her clothes and the large parcel she was carrying as she dusted herself and shook. However, it seemed Nahara would pass.
"That's too bad.." Acri said with a slight playful lilt to her voice as she started to follow the large beast into the barren woods.
In his old life, his first life, he had been born when Venus was high in the sky. His birth was foretold. The coming of a god. He had been taught of his importance since before his earliest memory. His father had been a great pharaoh, and he would be even greater still. The hand of the gods come to the mortal realm to rule over his flock.
But it was not to be, not in that life. His father had cried as life left him. His mother screamed. He was silent, unable to believe he had been slighted in such a way. This awestruck grief ushered him into the afterlife, and all he was was, for a time, erased.
He doesn’t know how long he wandered these new sands, a mindless beast driven by hunger and rage. He had his very self stolen from him, stripped of everything that made him great and forced into a debased, bestial form.
His hollow form had been that of a jackal-headed man. Like Anubis, the god of the underworld. The irony, however, had been lost on him at the time.
As he wandered and fed, he became stronger and stronger, more monstrous, more cruel. Word of his dealings began to spread throughout hueco mundo, and once again, the rising of a new king was beginning to be foretold, or so the whispers stated.
Where as a hollow he had been mindless and hungry, as a menos he had been cunning and ruthless. He had once again tasted power and he wanted more of it, no matter the cost.
It was at this time that he named himself. As a hollow, he had never had use for a name. Names were lost of predators and prey. But he soon realized that he would need to be called something. He abandoned his old name. It had not served him well. Instead he took the name Ramses.
Word of Ramses’ exploits began to spread more and more, whispers of a God King, rising from the sands to threaten the great Ronan.
When he ascended to Arrancar, it was as if the stars and planets had once again aligned to greet him in his destiny. It was said that as Ronan disappeared, and his daughter died, Ramses ascended to Arrancar, to meet his destiny. Ramses was not sure if this was true, but it was an entertaining thought. He didn’t need omens to inform him of his right to rule. He was the chosen of the gods, and he would have his throne.
As an Arrancar, his power grew exponentially, until he truly lived up to his title. He became skilled in magics, the workings of the gods. He became skilled with the sword, and with diplomacy. Where he had been a beast as a hollow, he was truly a King as an Arrancar. In name and in deed.
However, his rule was not official, not yet. He was called king in some circles, but others had yet to be informed of their allegiance. As far as many of hollow kind knew, they were Ronan’s subjects, or somehow free of rule.
He would show them their foolishness and punish their heresy.
As if in another omen, it was at this time, when this desire to show hollow kind the error of their previous thinking, that Las Noches was attacked by a foreign city ship, sent by the gods to bring down the old order.
The time for the Espada, for Las Noches, was over.
It was his turn to rule. The gods willed it. He willed it.
All would bow to Ramses, their God-King.
