As far as Liezelotte was concerned humans were nothing more than creatures to be put to use, cattle bred to serve her every need. And the two that had followed her did so beautifully. Though Lord Bachsmien had nearly ordered her to leave his lands for a place he felt was far more secure one of his messengers arrived and reported that all was lost. The lands, the Lord, everything had been destroyed by the alien onslaught. It was almost unbelievable that her father could ever lose to such things, and in less than a couple hours she set off for her home.
And that's when her two servants came to use. Though the bulk of the enemy forces had simply ignored her hiding spot Liezelotte did encounter a few random patrols. That's when her bodyguard pulled his Lady back and stood his ground. It was such a wondrous thing, offering to stand as a line of defense against overwhelming numbers, and though his screams and cries for betrayal echoed across the land she knew full well that he had finally served his purpose. And her handmaid soon learned to do the same. Some time after the event with the bodyguard they pair were attacked by some odd flying creatures. They tried to swarm the Lady, but a decent blast of Hellfire forced them to ease back. The Lady was prepared to fire another, but to her surprise her servant pleaded for the woman to escape. It was such a beautiful thing, such selflessness which was in no way a result of any telepathic suggestion, and though the girl's eye twitched as if trying to contain some deep seated rage Liezelotte would not let those words go to waste.
And now the young Lady Bachsmien found herself traveling home all by her lonesome. There were a couple times when she wish she had another human or two that would 'sacrifice' themselves on her behalf, but she could still make do. Unfortunately there was still some ground to cover, and a few odd noises were coming from a nearby copse of trees. Perhaps her luck would still hold out...

A strange pressure from overhead was the first thing the demon felt as soon as she started to wake. All she could truly see was utter darkness, but a muffled noise soon became the very nervous chittering of a few of the local birds. As far as Isabell could tell she was laying on her stomach somewhere, and an immense weight was keeping her down. But determination wouldn't leave her lying on the ground, and after some struggling she finally managed to pull herself free. What she found was the ruined wall of the servants' quarters lying all around, her weapon still embedded in one of the walking lizards that she was fighting just before that wall crumbled on top of the both of them. Unfortunately for her opponent he was still stabbed by the time he was buried, so he simply bled out without any hope of surviving.
And it seemed there was little hope for anyone else. Though Isabell had fought valiantly she could remember the sheer numbers of the invading force, and with men being slaughtered and women being fucked there was no telling when the tide that was these aliens would shift and overwhelm her where she stood. But shoddy construction proved to be her savior, and now that she was left she looked around and saw not but devastation. Bodies lay everywhere, some tentacled masses that barely looked like they could walk on the legs that sprouted beneath their bodies, but most belonged to the defenders. There was no stopping their advance, and as she looked toward the mansion she could see the thing barely standing as a fire started to grow from some room on the first floor. Not a movement or sound was made save by anything other than the slowly growing flames, and there was little doubt that anyone else had survived.
But the young Lady had been sent away... She was at least safe, and thought she may be miles from here Liezelotte was the only thing she had left. And Isabell knew where Liezelotte had been sent. All she had to do now was figure out how to get there...

If Anael were seen cursing her former Lord then no one could truly blame her. She was the primary servant to his daughter, but he had forbid Anael from leaving with her mistress in order to help defend his lands from the coming invasion. And she had, her duty as a Bachsmien servant demanded as much. But things went downhill fast, and once the final defensive line fell Anael found herself nearly surrounded by monstrosities that looked like they were designed to rape and pillage instead of search and destroy. Thankfully her ability to fly kept her out of harm's reach, but those creatures were persistent. They chased her through her former Lord's lands tirelessly, and took a great deal of deceit to lose her pursuers, especially when those strange flying things joined the chase.
But now that she was alone she had time to sit and think. By the looks of things when she was forced to leave the mansion and its grounds were completely lost. It would be a miracle if a soul were left alive, even more so if that soul was still intact. That meant that her service under Lord Bachsmien was now complete. She was free to do whatever she... No, the young lady still lived. Liezelotte had been sent away, a father's precaution probably saving her from a fate far worse than any death the angel could imagine. That meant she still had a purpose and a Master. She would need to find the woman, but where would she start? She was never told were the young lady had been sent, and she wasn't about to degrade herself to do so like that Isabell creature. But there had to be some record back at the mansion, and there were only so many hidden villas that would that the Lord would think would survive an attack. But searching them all would take luck and time. It was another reason to return to the mansion. But then again there could still be some creatures lingering. If she went back she may well be walking into a trap. But this reasoning was starting to become circular, so Anael would simply need to decide what she needed to do.
