 The goodbye was touching, it made Laya's heartbeat falter as a few tears fell from her eyes. How difficult it must be for Iris, I feel so bad for her. She must be lonely without her parents and now she has to deny Dante exists...the poor girl. She brushed her fingertips against the corner of her eyes, wiping away the tears. She eagerly accepted Iris' hand as she pulled her closer to the house that would prevent her from seeing the man she called 'father.' Laya took a look back at Dante, he had already begun to walk away. She bit her lip, she couldn't help but worry that she might not see him again. He couldn't exactly take care of himself and without Iris he'd be dirty and hungry all the time. She didn't even want to think about how lonely he must be without her. The connection between Iris and him was astounding to say the least.
Laya noticed Iris had stopped running, they had arrived at the house. She felt the old mans eyes on her, staring intently at their clasped hands. Laya felt dirty, almost like a pervert from touching her. He was an odd man and she didn't exactly enjoy him presence. He's probably really protective of her since she's all that's left of his brother or sister. She was really sure how he was her uncle. She noticed that he was indeed elven and a fairly decrepit one.
"Good evening sir," she bowed low to show her respects to Iris' relative. "I found Iris sleeping in the woods," she ran her fingers along the nape of her neck nervously, "She led me back here. I wanted to accompany her and make sure she made it safely."

The old man looked at the young Elven woman with his niece, before nodding slowly. "th... thank... you..." The old man mumbled quietly as Iris ran up to his side to rest her hands on his arm and smile. "sorry uncle, I was looking for berries" She said as the old man pattered her head lightly. "dont be... sorry... just glad... you're... ok..." He said having trouble breathing as he sighed slowly, before shifting his gaze back to the girl. "would you... like to... join us for... dinner...?" He asked as Iris looked to her waiting for a response. "you should!" Iris said cheerfully. "I'm a really good cook! I promise you'll like it!" She said running back to Laya as she grabbed her hand, basically jumping up and down while clinging to her hand waiting for an answer.

Laya smiled at Iris and the old man, he seemed like he cared about her a great deal and that was all someone could ask for in this world...someone to love them. "I guess I really don't have a choice in the matter, do I," she asked Iris playfully while patting her on the head with her free hand. "Thank you for offering....may I ask your name sir. Forgive me for not giving mine sooner. I am Laya," she nodded once more to show her respects. "You better be an amazing cook, Iris," she laughed at her display of enthusiasm. She understood why Iris didn't want her to leave yet, she was basically her only connection to Dante and she was sure she liked her a great deal. Laya hoped Dante hadn't run off too far and that he wasn't bored out of his mind.

"Nope!" Iris said with a laugh before pulling Laya up to the porch. "my name... is Lanithiar... Bloodwand..." The old man said as Iris ran into the house... The old man slowly dozed off in his chair as Iris called for Laya's help. She would find Iris standing in the Kitchen, the counter was about as high as her nose as she looked up at Laya. "Uncle usually sets everything on the table for me!" She wined pointing at the low table to the left as she crouched down crying. "I'm sorry!" She said disappointed in her self apparently, tho considering who she was... It was more likely she was trying to con Laya into cooking...

Laya wanted to speak to Lanithair more but Iris tugged on her arm, pulling her away and he had fallen asleep. No wonder it was so easy for her to run off and get captured by bandits. Iris was already inside and she had started crying again. Laya hated it when she did that and she was a sucker for tears. "No, no. Don't cry," Laya soothed her. "We'll cook something together, how does that sound." She didn't want to be tricked into doing something like earlier though she hadn't minded washing Dante. She blushed a little and shook her head, making her come back to reality. "Kind of like a mother and daughter would," she encouraged her. Laya wasn't sure where the ingredients were but she began to open cabinets and search for what she wanted. She honestly had no idea what to make. "Hey, Iris. What would you like to eat?"

Iris was seemingly gone... How ever a quiet snoring noise coming from behind the counter could be heard, Laya would find a small Iris curled up in a ball sucking on her thumb as she clutched the edge of her dress before mumbling 'Papa... why did... mom and papa...'. She would squirm around in her sleep slightly as she started to whimper quietly before adjusting her body to get a little more comfortable in her spot. She curled up in a ball before yawning, looking something like a kitten trying to stay warm...

Laya heard the noise coming from Iris, she smiled at her. She walked over to her and crouched next to her, she brushed her fingers through her beautiful hair. Poor, Iris. She must be exhausted. I wonder if she has a bedroom around here somewhere? Laya went to explore around the house and found a tiny room with a bed and various other things. Hope this is her room. She picked her up and brought her to the bed. She pulled the covers over her and tucked her in. "Sleep well, Iris. You've had a long day." Laya kissed her forehead before returning to the kitchen. She wanted to prepare a little something but had no idea what to cook. She sighed as she debated. Maybe she could at least make some bread or something.

The Bloody BeastDantes Theme Song   Dont try and act like you understand...
No one could understand...
Not the kind of pain I've suffered... Dante was sitting by the edge of the river with his legs stretched straight out as he leaned forward and grabbed the tip of his claw like toes. "I like circles, cause circles are pretty" He sung to him self, repeating the tiny short verse of a song as he smiled happily to him self, finally letting his "inner child" out. "huh... to think a monster like the bloody beast would honestly be such a chicken s**t... he's basically a little kid..." A voice would come from behind Dante as he would lean his head back, letting out a "Hoe...?" Only to see one black flash, before a huge explosion like impact came down on his head, smashing him into the ground, shaking the earth around him as the sound rippled through the forest, and a small dust mushroom cloud could be seem floating up from the forest, a few deep laughs came from the forest as Iris's eye's shot open as she quickly jumped out of bed, before sprinting into the forest screaming "Papa!"... Only for her scream to come from said forest in a matter of seconds after... I'd rather be feared then respected...
Because this way I dont have to worry...

Laya had just finished making a loaf of bread, she sat it down proudly on the counter. Flour covered her forehead and coat, she attempted to dust it off a bit. Suddenly there was a loud explosion that came from the direction of the forest, the impact was so severe glasses began to rattle in the cupboards. Iris went running out of the house and into the woods. Laya darted after her, "Iris, wait." She was fast for a child but she had a bit of a head start. She managed to catch up to her and grab her by the shoulders, trying to calm the hysterical girl. "Iris, Iris listen to me," she yelled at her firmly. "I'm going to save Dante," she didn't know if he was introuble but why else would anyone be in these woods? "I need you to stay in the woods and stay out of sight. You need to protect your uncle for me, alright? He'll be worried if you run away again, especially after a noise like that. I'm going to take care of this okay? Just please stay out of trouble for me."
Laya didn't wait for a response, she released Iris and rushed off into the woods. She moved quickly and silently, seeing footprints within the crushed leaves and broken limbs on the bushes. Someone had been through here and by the looks of it there had been a lot of them. She climbed like a feline up the bark of a tree and began to use the branches for more momentum as she made her way back to the river. She blended in with the trees, drawing her bow to strike at the first enemy she saw.

The Bloody BeastDantes Theme Song Dont try and act like you understand...

Not the kind of pain I've suffered... A group of maybe thirty fairly large and bulky men stood around what looked like a crater as they all laughed out of sync with one another. "thats it? that's all the supposedly legendary beast of bloody had to offer? god those rumors were f***ing pathetic... this thing isn't worth half the bounty on it's head..." One holding a massive spiked mace said... If Laya looked close enough she'd be able to maybe make out Dante's tails and claws just barely sticking out of the rubble in the crater... He didn't seem to be moving... Nor did a noise come from him as a "hey there..." Came from behind Laya... If she turned around she'd see a somewhat smaller man compared to the others... But he seemed to be certainly quick... "I couldn't help but notice those scars of yours..." He said with a fairly perverted grin as the others on the ground were now looking up at her, the one with the giant mace in specific... A grin more twisted then the others on his face... "well look who's come crawling back..." He said with a quiet chuckle. I'd rather be feared then respected...

Laya thought she had gone undetected but they apparently had a man patrolling. These weren't ordinary humans. There was a gigantic crater in the earth, bits and pieces crumbled away and fell into the center where Laya could see Dante's claws. "You bastards," she wasn't concerned with them hearing her because apparently all of them were now aware of her presence. She began to think of a plan. These were the ******** that attacked her village and killed the slaves she had helped free. They had sacrificed themselves so that she could remain alive. Laya wasn't about to let them take her again without a fight. She could fire off an arrow at one of the men on the ground...the one with the mace, she knew he and she knew him well. Elves lived far longer than humans and she had been unfortunate enough to know a man and his descendants. Laya decided the best course of action was to take out the man behind her, even if he was quick...she was an elf, she was superior in speed. She would worry about the other men whenever the came after her. "You're disgusting, every last one of you. You're cowards for sneaking up on a man when he's got his back turned and you're just scum for taking advantage of women." While she spoke she reached for her short blade, she quickly turned and slashed toward the patrol's throat.

Not the kind of pain I've suffered... Each of the men started laughing as the scout spoke. "I think I'll have some fun with you first..." He said as Laya drew her dagger and made a slash for the mans throat... How ever before the man could react... "that little b***h is MINE first you pathetic piece of s**t!" The voice of who'd be assumed to be the leader, the man with the giant mace... He swung his giant weapon at both the scout and Laya, as the giant spiked ball detached from the hilt of the weapon, and flew at Laya, a metal chain linked to the ball, as the man whipped the chain upward, sending it even quicker, and altering it's course in an attempt to throw Laya's counter off... The other men laughed before spreading out, two more scouts waited in different trees as the other men on the ground waited for her to drop down... "come on baby... gimme a kiss... I know where you probably wanna touch me you little whore... I bet the thought of us on you is getting you aroused already..." Each of them would say. "lets just have some fun with her right here and now boys! first to grab her can use her mouth!" He yelled with a laugh as they all cheered...
Steam slowly rose from the crater Dante had been basically buried in, how ever the men were all to focused on getting a piece of Laya's a** to notice... The few on the ground with ranged weapons began using them in blunt methods, using nets, throwing rocks, anything they could to get her down as the scouts in the trees would jump from tree to tree, using their own nets in an attempt to trap her... Their twisted perverted laughs would make it fairly hard to concentrate... The few who couldn't use any ranged weapons or just didn't bother trying... Were already taking off the pieces of 'clothing' they used to cover their shame... And it was pretty disgusting what some of them had down there to say the least... Not to mention the fact that it looked like the 'leader' would split her in half.... I'd rather be feared then respected...

Laya soon discovered she was very outnumbered, even if she was an elf she didn't specialize in this type of combat. She ducked as the mace was swung forward, the tree couldn't handle the impact--the branch began to snap. She jumped trying to avoid a nasty fall but a net was thrown over her. She hit the ground with a sickening thud as the air was forced from her lungs. Laya dropped her weapon once she had been captured. She had more means of defending herself but the net had already coiled around her. The rope was cutting into her skin, leaving tiny red marks. She struggled and she fought, going as far as to try and bite the material. She wouldn't give up, she couldn't. She had already came this far and letting them win would be a disgrace to her fallen friends. "Don't touch me," she warned. "I swear I'll kill every last one of you. You think because you've outnumbered me and you captured me that it makes you men? You're disgusting filth and you don't deserve to breath for what you've done to women and children." She spit at the leader with the mace. "You pig."

No one could understand...
Not the kind of pain I've suffered... The large group of men began to crowd around Laya as the leader began pushing and shoving his way past his men... "I lied... I want you first for my self..." He said with a laugh as he dropped his weapon, the moment it hit the ground, it seemed to pulse... Two waves shook the earth beneath them all. "Jesus boss, how heavy is that thing!?" One bandit yelled as another looked around before laughing. "Hey boss... look, he survived!" He said pointing in Dante's direction as they all slowly turned to look at him. His pupils were gone... The only thing there now was white and that crimson red... A dim glow was humming from his eye's as he simply stood there looking at them. "I'm curious how you survived my swing... no one ever sur-" "I survived it simply because you are weak... you caught me off guard and hit my skull head on with a spike... it took a little while to regenerate it... nothing more... but that doesn't change the fact that you're all going to die..." He said, his voice for some reason distorted as silence swept through them all like a wind...
The silence was quickly broken by laughter as all the men hurled out laughing as Dante slowly started walking towards the group... With every step the ground would crack as one man got eager... "out of the way! he's mine!" He said as the others cheered him on, the leader had already picked up his giant weapon as the man running at Dante drew a giant dull sword from his back. "you're pathetic!!" He yelled as he swung his giant weapon at Dante... Dante simply raised his hand, catching the weapon as sparks would fly on contact with his armor and the sorry excuse for a weapon... "coming from the man about to rape a woman... that doesn't really mean much..." He said before gripping the sword as it shattered... The man's eye's widened as Dante's flat hand pierced through his chest, bursting out the other side as the mans blood splattered back onto the first of his 'allies' in the front of the group...
"I didn't get a title like "The Bloody Beast" by being weak... even morons like you should have been able to figure that out..." His voice would echo as the leader would laugh before swinging his weapon at Dante, once more the spiked ball would separate from the hilt of the weapon, and fly right at Dante before he would grab the chain, and whip it once more, causing it to flick above his head, before dropping down on it, how ever the moment it got close... Dante did that flicker thing again where his post changed in an instant... His fist was in the air, and the leaders balled weapon was shattered over his head as Dante quickly grabbed the chain during their little moment of shock, before giving it a quick yank, sending the leader flying his way before driving that same fist into the mans nose, and angling it, forcing his head down as he hit it with enough force to crack the ground and kick up some dust as a twisted distorted laugh came from Dante...
"so pathetic... not worth my time... I bet your bounties aren't worth s**t either..." He said shaking his head as that twisted laughter of his simply grew louder and louder as the gist of the men turned to try and run... One of them tried to pick up Laya, but Dante would have none of that as one of the shards from the giant spiked ball pierced through the mans head... Splattering his blood on the ground before him as he dropped Laya, Dante was already walking towards her as he dug the claws on his feet into the edge of the rope before sliding his foot back, and snapping the rope, he quickly reached down before grabbing Laya by the neck... Unlike before, how the warmth emanating from his armor how it had only been a slight heat... It was now burning hot... "if you EVER... hold us back again... I'll be sure to show you specifically why it is we have the name we have..." He said with a laugh before running his tongue along her cheek, and letting go. "now... hurry up, and kill that man before he decided to finally get up... if he does I'll take the kill from you" He said turning his back to look at the man while waiting for Laya... Who ever this was right now... It was that child like 'cute' Dante she knew... I'd rather be feared then respected...

Laya curled into the fetal position and shut her eyes tight. She tried to imagine a safer place, she tried to focus on an image of her parents but found she was unable. She waited for them to touch her and use her like they used to. She heard screams of agony and the sound of men taking their last breaths. She peeked through one eye and saw Dante disposing of everyone. She could only watch wide eyed and confused. Laya had known he was powerful but to actually see him kill with such disregard for life. Her heart pounded against her chest as the bandits fell one by one around her.
She tried to free herself from the net but was unable, one of the bandits tried to grab her and make a run for it. "Dante," Laya shouted for him, she needed his help. This wasn't how she had planned for this to go. The man carrying her was slaughtered and the bindings she had were cut. She grabbed the material and pulled it over her head, tossing the net to the side. She panted for a moment, trying to take it what he just happened. There was so much blood everywhere. She wasn't sure how much of it was Dante's and how much of it wasn't.
She felt claws around her neck, holding her several feet from the ground. Her fingers went to his hands, trying to free his hold on her. She couldn't breath, her legs flailed underneath her. "Dante, you're hurting me," she gasped. The heat from his armor began to burn her flesh, the smell filled her nostrils. "Stop it," she felt his tongue on her cheek. This isn't Dante, this can't be. He would never hurt me. She didn't understand what he meant. "H-hold...you back," she questioned his statement...she was clueless. He released her, normally she would have been able to catch herself but she landed roughly on her knees. Her hands immediately went to her throat, she rubbed the burns trying to soothe the pain. "You left him alive?" Laya's eyes fell upon the man that used to own her. "No...no, this is mine."
Laya stumbled to her feet as she approached the bandit leader, he was laying on the ground writhing in agony. She kicked him over onto his back so that she could look into his eyes. "You are disgusting," the anger radiated off of her...the fury weld inside of her. Tears began to trail down her cheeks as she looked into the face of the man that stole her innocence. She brought down the heel of her boot into his crotch, he screamed a few tears of his own beaded in the corner of his eyes. She hit him again and again, hoping his pain would come close to hers but she knew it wouldn't. Laya knocked his hands away and moved to straddle him, placing him inbetween her legs. He tried to shove her off but his strength was failing him. She took her thumbs and thrust them into his eyes, he grabbed her wrists and struggled underneath her. "Come on, fight me more. Is that all that's left in you? You don't deserve to live." She shoved her nails in deeper, taking his sight from him forever. "Wander for eternity in the afterlife." She drew her blade and brought the tip to his nose. She closed her eyes and raised her weapon before stabbing it downward, even after he was dead she kept piercing his skull with the weapon of her mother and father. His blood splattered against her face and clothes, her weapon reflected the hatred in her eyes as she finally tired. She threw herself off of him and sheathed her weapon. She looked at the the blood dripping from her hands. "I have it, I have my revenge."
