Kylie (Courage Wolf)


Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Freya and Sheena nodded to Kylie, before heading off, the former heading to the chief's longhouse, while Sheena went to the next largest one. The minotaur guy nodded to Kylie when she'd said she had shed enough blood for the day. "There will be rebellion, for certain. But... you're the chief now, by law, therefore those still loyal to the clan, will adhere to your choices, no matter how much they disagree with them," the minotaur guy said.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Alright, Gather everyone, Gently in the case of the newly freed slaves. I have some announcements to make. There a warhorn or something I can blow? Kylie asked, blinking and looking around suddenly for one. They also had another clan chief to wait on and he was likely to be a bit surprised.

Once it was done though, she'd stand up on top of a building nice and high and calmer and address everyone.

I didn't want it to come to this! I Had Hoped, beyond all Hope, that given time, this would sort itself out. You all MUST understand this, no matter how many of you may disagree. The other peoples on this island are talking about Coming Together to stop you. That's more bloodshed, more death, then anyone wants. The Terios Clans are conducting their rituals, but not taking slaves. Though if Rape is still occuring, HE will answer for that as Surely as Asteron did his own crimes against the other peoples of Melora's Tear. I have TAKEN power on this Island, It's Mine, I see it's currents, I draw on it's life and I return life to it. Me. You call me the Hellion? Fine. Hate me. I'm not one to care. But you MUST STOP THIS! Surely your lives would be better with more of the island open to you! Engage in friendlier contest with the southern tribes and even the goliaths. Go to Tear Cove! Meet the people there. But Surely you recognize they think and feel as you do! They Bleed! Just like you do! What if those peoples took your Mates and Offspring for their own rituals!? Kept them as slaves and breeders! You wouldn't tolerate it! Neither will I, or Anyone else on this island for that matter! In 4 weeks time I will be holding a summit In Tear Cove! Of all the Villages, all the Races, Even the Sodding Dragons if they'll come to hear it. Hash out the details then. but the Slaving is Done! The Raping is Done! The senseless murder of eachother is Finished! she cried out, the storm starting to fall apart now. First I took a Village! Then I Killed your Chief and Took his Clan! How much more will YOU Force me to take from you!? Stop this madness here and now by simply letting the old customs go before they destroy you! she finished, addressing everyone while Sheena and Freya rounded up the slaves.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

The minotaur guy looked back towards the chief's house, and went inside, grabbing something just inside of the door, and tossing Kylie a horn that was inside to make her speech. Many of the minotaurs looked troubled, and worried, more so than angry, obviously worried about their future. When she was finished, she saw Sheena coming back out of the house she'd gone into, helping two girls out, one whose legs weren't in the best of shape, but nowhere near as bad as Kat's had been when they rescued her, this one being another goliath girl. The other was also a goliath girl, who looked... identical to the other one. Both of them had long flowing snowy white hair, both were about a foot taller than Palla was, both had icy blue colored eyes, and both had a decent tan too.

Freya exited the chief's house a few moments later, carrying a young elven girl in her arms, while a kitsune, and a neko both walked out behind her, both holding a knife each. Kylie saw the neko and kitsune both walk over to either half of the old chief's corpse, where they stabbed it with their knives. The elven girl Freya carried looked weak, though more overworked than anything, and suffering from exhaustion, but otherwise alright from the looks of it.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

LOOK AT THEM! Do you not see and understand their pain? They're stabbing a corpse, she can't even walk! They have Families! Loved ones! Kylie said, looking less angry and more speechless. You're worried about your futures now?! What would War with the entire island bring you? You wouldn't win it I promise you. Send someone you trust to the summit, someone who speaks for you, that you can trust, in the meantime after I leave today? This guy here? He's in charge because you wont follow me. Respect and Fear? Yeah, I can manage that. But I'm not a minotaur, he is. If he Dies or loses his position as My Voice for the Tribe before the Summit? I'll come back. 4 weeks. If you're not there I'll assume that means you want me to rush back and you need more of my brand of... persuasion. she said, pointing at the Split in Half chief.

With that, she gave the captured minotaur the horn, and a pat on the shoulder. For your Mate and Offspring, Do the Right thing. Don't make me come back again. And end this foolish bickering with the other clan. she said, moving to help the slaves now, hugging them all, pulling them aside from the minotaurs, but keeping the Twin Goliaths with her. Will you two help me and mine get the others home? she asked them bluntly. I'm Kylie, Leader of the Rangers in Feynrial. Those are my girls there, the human is Sheena, the Kitsune is Freya. And we need to get these FORMER slaves out of here before there's more bloodshed. she asked and told them, looking around at everyone and everything.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"My name is Nog. I... was his cousin. For the sake of my mate, my children, and my people, you have my word, that I will ensure your rules are followed. As for the bickering and fighting with the Terios clan, I'm willing to end it, if they are," the captured minotaur told Kylie, heaving a sigh as he took the horn from her.

The twin goliath girls looked down at Kylie and gave her a nod, though despite both of them looking quite exhausted themselves, they wouldn't let that hold them back. The hugs that came to each of the girls were returned with tears of happiness, and many thanks from them all. All in all, the rest of the girls that were rescued from within the buildings numbered at 7, and Kylie saw 3 were human, 1 an elf, 2 okami, and 1 was another goliath girl, this one a tall and incredible beauty with pale skin, and blonde hair, which was rare for a goliath.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Kylie didn't let the blonde beauty of a goliath escape her notice, and ushered her over to help the icy visaged twins. I don't mean to put so much on your shoulders, but with this many, my girls will need the help, and with Kat and Palla, I've come to trust all the Goliaths as Steadfast, Strong, Willing to lend their broader shoulders. Please. she asked her, before turning to Nog.

I wont say I'm sorry about his death. I'm not, this needed to end. But it's done. Let's wait for the other Chief for a talk for now, and let your own people recover from the Shock. she said to him, before turning to Sheena and Freya.

Time to part ways girls. There's more then I expected so you'll both go. I've got things here. Thanks for the help, i'll meet you back at the Dryad's tree. Whatshername, with the bacon. She was friendly. she said, hugging them both tightly and entrusting the slaves to their care, while she collected and re-equipped all her weapons, stretching and then sitting in the Big Chief's Chair of AUTHORITEH whom they would all respect or else, to wait for the new arrival and keep the other minotaurs firmly in hand for now while the slaves left.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"You won't see me complaining about his death. And neither will you see them, I'd wager," Nog said, gesturing towards the slave girls.

The goliath girls all nodded to Kylie, and the blonde haired one helped Sheena with the exhausted elf girl, the trio all shouldering the burden of helping the girls in need of support at the moment, and not complaining about it. Altogether, there were about 2 dozen slaves, adding those found inside, and outside, together. Just as the girls were about to leave the village, Nog stopped them for a moment, and passed Sheena and Freya some weapons to pass out among the other girls. He backed away before the two gave the weapons out, more to keep from being stabbed by any of the now ex-slaves.

With that, Kylie merely had to await the Terios chief, who arrived not long after that, with a small contingent of guards following him. "You're the one they call many names? I am Varos, leader of the Terios clan," the new minotaur said, standing a foot or two shorter than the Asteron chief, but more than capable.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Kylie punched Nog's shoulder encouragingly as he handed out weapons for the girls on the trip. This was a minor threat all things considered with the other forces on this island. Crimea could be a problem, though she didn't expect it to be. Or rather hoped it wouldn't be. But the pair of older and evil dragons would be a sore issue and one she secretly looked forward to.

Pulled from her musings, Kylie sitting, leaned back, staring into space, her chin on her fist as she lounged, she turned to look at the other Chieftan, Varos.

Many Names. I think it's because most of the minotaurs don't know my actual name. Hellion, She Bitch, That one Crazy Thing. My actual name is Kylie Vilanstross, Leader of the Feynrial Rangers, Ruler of the Asteron Clan through Trial by Combat, and self appointed High Authority of Melora's Tear. A short chat with Crimea will make that official, though I imagine the dragons will have something to say about it. But that's getting a little off topic. Well Met Varos, or rather, I'd like to say it, I will Thank you, honestly, for coming when I called for you however. She said, standing fluidly and moving to greet him personally, holding out her hand.

Surely we can act with more civility then that Oversized Oaf I was forced to tear apart... she said cheerfully, extending her hand.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"Well met to you too, I suppose. And yes, I act much more civilly than he was. My clan and the ones that follow it, do not keep slaves, like that fool did. Sure, we do still hunt women, and some men, for sport, but in most cases we bring back a trophy of some sort to prove ourselves. Or we hunt large animals that are difficult to take alone," Varos replied, looking down at Kylie as he was taller, by far, as he reached out to shake her hand.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Kylie took his hand and shook it firmly before turning her head and looking him in the eyes. No raping or killing your fellow islanders I hope.. she said quietly, smiling daggers.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"As far as I know, no. I'm sure that a few have secretly done it every now and again. If I find out that they do though, I knock the shit out of them. I don't think any of them have done it in the last six months or so though, after the last few beatings I had to dish out. I'd say they learned their lessons, for the most part," Varos replied, looking serious about his words.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

As long as it's kept to a minimum, and punished appropriately. She answered, turning to glare at the guards he'd brought with him, before moving back to the big kahuna's chair. As the Official leader of the Asteron clan, The hostilities against the other clans are ended as of this moment, and then any aggression from this clan against your own is not supported and that you can deal with those as you want to or think is warranted. I Will however be working with some fellows in Hespera, and here, in opening a Legal slavery system. It will be complex, convoluted, and those offered as slaves will be entirely willing, magically protected, and their abuse outside the agreed upon terms at the entering of the contract will be punished by death. Long. Painful. Miserable. Embarrassing Death. We'll see how well it does. What about you Varos, think we can stop the infighting? Nog here will be My Voice here while I'm away, and there will be a summit in Tear Cove that I encourage you to attend. In fact! Bring some of the younger fellows! see if they can stay and learn from the other villages and races... we should try and.... bring everyone together to some degree. We shouldn't be ignorant of eachothers' customs. Could be beneficial for all of us. I'd be more then happy to send some of my own here to you to learn, and among the other tribes as scholars and students. Live as you do, understand this island from your eyes, instead of just my own. she said, drifting from one idea to the other.

Also, while I approve of the hunting, perhaps you could get back in touch with the northern tribes and goliaths. You all love a good competition. Couldn't it be good, for your youngers to break into adulthood in a series of games? regulated fights? anything to just... avoid killing eachother needlessly anymore? I have children myself you know. It's why i'm moving now, on everything on this island that needs to change. she continued, picking at the horn of Asteron she'd taken.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"So an... indentured servitude sort of deal then? And yes, I won't say it was all him, but much of it was the Asteron chief's fault. We told him that we needed to change, for the sake of our people. He refused. I care deeply for my people, both the northern and southern tribes. It's why I did whatever I had to, in order to change, for the better. I had to challenge the old Terios clan leader for dominance. And if you ask it, I will show in Tear Cove. I've been wanting to send a trade caravan up that way, but felt it would be too difficult with him in charge here still," Varos replied, nodding towards the Asteron chief's halves, which Nog was having gotten rid of at that moment.

"As for your other thought, I suppose it would work, doing a series of games, though getting the goliaths and southern tribes to do so, might take some doing. But I would be willing to try and do it, if they would be," Varos said after a few moments, scratching his head, while the few guards he'd brought shuffled around, trying to avoid eye contact with Kylie in a couple of cases, making it obvious that they had done such things, and were beaten by Varos.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

In a sense yes. Some with debts perhaps, others who simply.... want an easier life with someone in charge. They do exist. Others for pay. As I said, it would be contract based, terms agreed upon, and upon signing, that's it, outside the contract, no rights, property for the term. Could also be incorporated into the legal system for lesser crimes where a strict hand would be needed. We have no Real prisons here. Kylie said, watching the minotaurs clean up their sundered chief.

And yes, I'd like for you to attend. I've made friends in the southern tribes and among the Goliaths. I will convince them to Also attend. But you know them as well, if you make an honest attempt, there may be some difficulties certainly. But surely they wouldn't turn you away completely. Persistence and Honesty will win the day. She continued, fishing out some oranges and starting to eat lazily. Want some? Love oranges. Hrm. If this is sorted then lets let it be done yes? You don't seem to disagree too much with what I'm saying and wanting, no one wants a fight, I have a representative here. Nog has a head on his shoulders, swallowed his pride for his family, something I can respect, that anyone can. I have a lot of ground to cover myself and word to spread. But I must insist on one more thing Varos... I'd like you to show me to the other villages with some Minotaurs here as witness to free the other slaves, and then I'd like to visit your own villages to be certain you have none yourself. she said from her chair, looking directly at him now as she bit into an orange.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"I see. I suppose that could work, so long as it's adhered to of course. As for showing you to the other villages, none of my villages, as far as I know, keep slaves. I made them send those poor girls home, with escorts, and orders to fight to the death to protect them. In a couple of cases, they did die to protect them, buying them time to run back to my village," Varos said, looking like he was having trouble not punching or breaking something, and Kylie could tell he was gritting his teeth hard. "But I can take you to our villages though, but I assure you, there's no slaves... I made certain of it a year ago. Nog there would be a better choice to go to the others that followed Asteron," he added after a few moments.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

Change is hard Varos. It is paid for with blood and paved with bones and given monument by the memories of the fallen. I was simply curious as to how you'd react to me asking You to escort me. Truth be told a Map will suffice nor do I need an escort, just a witness. They took away his corpse, it would be tasteless to show up with Asteron's Head. Sends the wrong message. she said, sighing, finishing her orange, and standing, dusting herself off.

Moving to Varos, she looked around. Just... a map, and I'll find you once I'm done here, and we can walk your lands. Who knows, perhaps some of your people in outlying villages have lied to you. BUT Please, I hope it's otherwise, and it's simply a relaxing walk through the northern jungles. she said, smiling honestly for the first time. She would wait for a map so she could find Varos later.

Thank you for coming to meet me in person, rather then making me come to you. I wont keep you any longer and will be seeing you again as an ally rather then a possible enemy hopefully before too long yes? To the Future. she said, offering her hand again, before turning and finding Nog.

Ok Nog, who do you trust, can we leave the village to itself to recover for now, and will you willingly show me to the other villages... she asked him, stretching.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"Perhaps they have been lying, in a few cases. But I make sure often that they aren't, as do my lieutenants when I can't go myself," Varos said, where a young elven woman stepped out from behind him and bowed politely to Kylie, while patting Varos's arm. "Lyrindel... what are you doing here?" Varos then asked the young and pretty elven girl, looking a little exasperated at the sight of the young elf girl.

"Making sure that you aren't getting yourself into any trouble, you big oaf," the elf girl said, glancing up at him, before back to Kylie, her long blonde hair swinging around as she did. She stepped up to Kylie and bowed again. "The reason he's so adamant that there aren't slaves in his villages, my lady, is because I was one of those who were protected on their way home that he mentioned. The two that died protecting me and the other three girls, were his sons. Baro stepped in front of me, and my sister, and took seven arrows that were meant for us, never once moving from shielding us, and even turning to fight so the one minotaur coming for us couldn't reach us. And Rokaro stayed behind while we ran, to keep those of Asteron's clan here, busy, for us to escape. When Varos and his men got there, they found Rokaro amidst nearly ten dead minotaurs, and he told his father with his last dying breath, to free all of the slaves that the northern clans had once kept, and bring their people all into a new era of prosperity with the rest of the island. After I learned what had happened to them, I decided to stay with Varos, to help him, and his people to achieve this goal," she then told Kylie, who saw Varos looked a little upset that Lyrendel spoken about this, but he also looked in a way... relieved almost.

"My sons died, fighting for a better future for us. I hope that soon, their deaths won't have been in vain," Varos said softly, before giving Kylie a little bow, before turning to talk to one of his men, who nodded and set a backpack down to rummage through, and producing a map for Kylie to have that showed all of the northern clan villages, including Asteron's and their followers.

"Aside from my family, not many. Hallen over there is trustworthy enough though, and would suffice, for the time being," Nog said after he was asked who would be good to leave in charge for now, gesturing at an older minotaur that looked... not elderly, but middle aged definitely, and starting to gray pretty good.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

I would certainly hop.... Kylie started, before an elf appeared and started talking. Tilting her head, Kylie stepped towards her. His sons died for you... You honor them by serving Him... interesting... she said, before shaking her head. She had started to think in circles that would have made little sense to everyone else present. They couldn't see what she saw. The strength of the girl, the way the very currents that had mired around them, fear, regret, anger, melted away around her. A stalwart and kind soul, someone to be admired.

Do you have a talent for magic? Lyrindel? she asked her seriously. She'd take note of her answer before turning back to Varos. For your sons now passed, and for my own children far too young still for such... there's no other word for it Varos... Heroism. I hope my own children can reach so high as your own sons. Let's make the future for your people they wanted. I'm going to clean this up here. she said, striding away. There was a disconnect forming in her at this moment. She was away from Freya and Sheena. She had no one to watch out for but herself, no worries about hurting them accidently... She shed her humanity for a moment and reinforced this hellish creature these minotaurs feared and turned to face the Northern Asteron Tribe while Nog spoke.

She stood there before them in black leather and shining mithril, her feet still bare, hair a white curtain down her back. Hallen! You're in charge, Nog trusts you, I trust Nog. That's enough for me. she said, opening the map and walking with Nog. Let's go spread the news. she said, starting what would later be known as the Trail of Shattered Chains.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

"Y-Yes my lady. I'm good with nature and healing magics. I am a priestess, of a sort. And yes... they were heroes... my heroes. Little girls often dream of a handsome prince coming to their rescue. In my case... I found two," Lyrindel replied with another little bow. "If only I hadn't run, I might have at least saved Rokaro," she then lamented.

"Lyra... you're too kind," Varos said, looking at the elf with what could only be admiration. "As a parent, I hope that your children never have to see battle, ever, or even the sight of blood," he then told Kylie, bowing his head a bit before Kylie left, where he snapped his fingers and left with his people, and Lyrindel, who Kylie saw scooped up by one of the larger minotaurs and placed on his shoulders, where Lyrindel seemed to be enjoying her perch.

Nog meanwhile nodded to Kylie and set out with her, heading eastward, as the nearest village was in that direction. Hallen nodded to Kylie and bellowed out a few orders to some of the younger male minotaurs, who scurried about and carried said orders out, one being the gathering of all collars, leashes, and other such icons of enslavement, which he ordered to be melted down and remade into more productive things. "Hallen's a good guy, and the village elder. In case you couldn't tell," Nog told Kylie after they were out of earshot.
 
Re: Kylie (Courage Wolf)

I meant what I said, your word was enough. He seems Practical and the others respect him. Kylie said, shrugging slightly as they started moving eastward together towards the nearest village.

Think though, I'll be remembered as a monster for so long... Not that I mind, I don't. But how many lives did we save, you and me Nog, when you agreed to take me here, by ending the clan war? Things will change, should change, all the time. My Wife is going to be furious at me for doing risky things again... she started, before remembering Giselle and paling at the thought of her wrath when she came home...

fuck.

YUP! HAD TO FREE ALL THE SLAVES OR GISELLE WAS GOING TO LOCK HER IN THE CLOSET WITH THE SPIDERS FOR A WEEK!
