She looks up at him, not fully processing what he said yet. "She knows. She knows who we are. She knows your story and that I’m the reincarnation of Kiltzu. She thinks that I’m going to betray you and she wants to kill me once I have the codex and probably you too." She starts crying, "I don’t know what to do yet."

Just want to do a roll real quick...


I’m getting an idea of how to beat her.

Rolls

Insight of my knowledge of vampires (if that’s the right roll to make) - (1d20+2)

(14) + 2 = 16

OOC:
Probably a history or nature check which is +1 for you, but hey, decent roll anyway, yes?
Vampires in this world derive from an oath of devotion not too dissimilar to paladins, except that the oath requires blood which Elena gets from her thralls, who are under her control at all times. She is sensitive to sunlight. Some are so devoted to their religion of life giving blood and strict rites, that they are revernands and can fly, the greatest are Skymarchers. The First Man was the first vampire, named Camazotz, who rules over the tiloni, or souls of women who die in childbirth, a death that is honored even greater than a warriors death on the battlefield. He take these souls and gives birth to more thralls, his only way to reproduce.

He stumbles over his words, "An incarnation of Kiltzi? You are my Kiltzi and my beautiful woman, but an incarnation is a lot to ask for in a girlfriend." He draws you into his arms and kisses your head.

"Don't worry. So Elena and we know each other. We still have to work together to get the codex, and when we have it in our hands, we will have the upper hand. Then its talk or battle. Either way I will be there for you.

Kit, I do not have any real excuse to ask, but I cannot bear to live to not have you under my watchful eye again tonight. It doesn't matter now who knows, I want you with me."

Okay that's just despicable, those poor women's souls. Updated, please go ahead. :D
"I would love nothing more than to be yours," she said as she leaned up and kissed him passionately. Girlfriend, he called her his girlfriend. Her heart soared at this! She was so in the moment until... Kitsune pulled away suddenly and looked at him smiling. "I have an idea," she says as she grabs his arm and pulls him in search of Poca. Once she finds him, before he can finish asking what's wrong, she grabs his wrist and pulls them both to an area where there aren't many seamen around.

Not even thinking about how red her eyes are or the tear streaks on her cheeks, she looks at them and starts speaking somewhat excitedly. "Okay, we need to convince the people who live in this cave to let me have their codex. I'll probably tell them who we are and who I am in history to appeal to the "save humanity" side of them. Once we do that, we come back and deal with Elena.
If we inevitably end up having to fight Elena and her thralls,"
she shows them her crystal, "I'll try to put them magically to sleep. If all goes perfect, we can rip a piece of wood off of the ship and stab her in the heart with it. If she doesn't fall asleep, then we'll only have one person to focus our efforts on... or her and a few thralls... this is the best idea I have so far!"

"Good spell sleep. But. Not many hit points of people sleep. No vampire sleep." He sighs and dropped down to ground. "If only we break charm on goons.

Kitsune starts bouncing in place with a mischievous smile on her face, her true trickster nature is showing as she recalls what the Mistress had told her. "We can! The Mistress gave me a one time spell to negate special abilities in people within a 5-degree radius of the spell location!"
OOC:
Thanks for the hint, I'd forgotten about that.

"Good! How long last? 5 degree? That strange. Hold on. You have spells? Mistress? Does Mate know about you have Mistress?" He looks back up to Dukalu.

"See? Everything will be fine."
Aug 10, 2020 1:11 am
Kit stops bouncing, realizing she hadn't talked to him about what happened in the trance yet. "Heh well... Are you okay with that?I don't want you to be uncomfortable." She walks up and kisses him, "I won't make the same mistake that those before me made... I won't betray you."
Aug 10, 2020 1:18 am
He answers your kiss like he doesn't want to let go. "Stop listening to these gods spinning legends and ruling our lives. There are no ones before you, because you are unique to the heavens, my only love, my Kitsune." He tilts you back in his arms, so he can suspend you in his kiss.
Aug 10, 2020 1:18 am
"Hmmm ... I go now."
Aug 10, 2020 1:43 am
She wanted to tell him that while the gods did write our story, he was right in that they weren't ruling our lives and that it was our fate to do with as we choose, but she didn't get the chance. She knew there were some unaddressed issues in what he said, but it wasn't at the front of her mind anymore. She got lost in his embrace and his kiss. She stayed there as long as he held her, lips locked on each other.

They had a romance that would easily make those around them nauseous from the pure love they exhibit for each other. With a plan in hand, they spent the rest of the day preparing, with Kitsune getting a short nap so that she wouldn't be so exhausted and would be ready to head off for the caves.

Dinner was tense but no more so than most bad days at sea for the crew of the Skulker. Being half human and half something else seemed common in people and ships. Normally such diversity makes for beauty. In the case of this dinner it broke out in tense enough moments that knives were stabbed into the table and choice words spoken. The thralls were oblivious if not rude The humans, hot headed. Through it all, Dukalu was calm and commanding and kept tempers in check. He did this masterfully all the while holding your hand under the table like a school boy with a crush. He was just as excited to have a girlfriend on board as you were to hear it spoken. In the midst of chaos, the both of you existed only in each other’s glances. He made no bones that you were the most important person in the room. When dinner was over, he cleared your plate for you and at the same time led a hearty cheer for the adventure ahead. The perfect Paladin was trying his hardest. And when grog was done, he took your hand in his and excused yourselves with no bit of apology or fanfare, though he could not have been more excited, to take his girlfriend to bed.

Upon arrival at his cabin, Kit giggled excitedly as she felt her love for Dukalu wash over her. She’d spent the night watching every time that Dukalu prevented a fight and fell in love even more. He had such a skillful way with people and her hand in his made her grin uncontrollably all night.

Sparing no time from when he finished locking their cabin door, she pounced on Dukalu and locked him into a deep, passionate kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She knew that she'd be in charge come morning, but for tonight, she couldn't be happier to surrender herself over to the Mate that had her heart. Tomorrow, they were risking their lives, so they made sure every touch, every kiss, every embrace, every second was pure passion between the two as they expressed they love before getting a long rest in each other’s arms.
OOC:
I think we both know what I’m eluding to but if that’s something you want to draw out, I’m fine with doing that too.

Your pounce on him surprises him. You hved transformed into the hungry fox that you had previously so controlled within you even in your most passionate kisses. He accepts your advances with a hunger of his own. The movement of your hands on his body excite you, but he takes hold of them and moves them down so that they grasp the throbbing hunger in his pants. There are no boundaries anymore. You have given him permission to touch your body as your hearts have touched, and he has given his.

With awkward desperation, you and he lock your kisses and grasp blindly at each other's gherkin and blouse. He runs his hands politely around your slender waist like a dance partner would, but then pulls the layers of silky blouse up over your head. Even while your arms are crossed over, your head and your hands still bound in the silk, he is running his hands over your breasts and stomach. When you free yourself, you feel his wolfish gaze. He is staring at your breasts. You have captivated the beast. He sees how athletic and trim you maintained yourself, your more-flat-than-not breasts are caramel, but the prominent nipples are dark brown like cacao, their auroras still fleshy and pink having not yet borne a child. He glories in your breasts, all ripe to fill full with milk to suckle his young, to let him share your essence with a babe and sustain own his desire with his own lips and tongue on you, sucking you until the milk drops and you swirl into submission. You finish pulling off his gherkin and see the glory of manhood, a broad frame with tight muscles, not so over pumped that he is a caricature of a man, but definitely strong and virile enough to be your mate. The moonlight that showed off your breasts, also shows you the fine chest of hair that was always showing itself in part on the decks, imagined in your thoughts, now complete before you, the colors of a quealtascoatl feathered dragon tattoo emblazoned on his dark skin. He mounts you and draws your hard nipples through his chest hair as he reaches his hands between your legs and touches where your excitement is building most. He is panting like that wolf when he comes up for air, arching his back to feel the excitement of the moment. He looks again at your deep brown eyes in the moonlight. You see the desire, but he holds back. Why! Kit wants to be taken, you say!! "I can't," he gasps as if the oxygen has been depleted in the bunk. He takes his palm off your vulva, and with both large hands grasp your cheeks and neck, moving his thumbs across your cheekbones. "I can't just do this without knowing." Out of breath still, he draws in a great draw of air and holds it. He kisses you lightly on the lips and looks in your eyes. "I love you, Kitsune, with my heart that climbs the mountain, with my soul that flows down the mighty river, I love you. It's all been my fault. All those loves before, I refused to love them because they weren't perfect, they weren't the one. All those heartaches I suffered, I did to myself. There is no Kiltzi that continually breaks my heart. I know. I know myself. I love all the way and never part, but I have never found anyone else who could do the same. They would have a pretty face or fine figure, but the heart,... the heart is what I want. Someone to have adventurers with, to raise children, to grow old with, to never fail to say I love you and hear it back each time. I need to know from you Kitsune. I love you."

You don't react immediately, though the sexual desire courses through your body, or perhaps because of it. Lust is the illusion of love and you know the difference too well. What he is offering is foreign to everything in your back story. You do not know love taught from early loves. Your experiences are vast compared to his, but never picturesque. You can't love him as that would make you vulnerable, subject to exploit by anyone who looks in your eye. You think to yourself, you can still tell him you love him, and get the fuck you wanted. You can say it with the precision of a thespian and the eloquence of a poet. But here, lying on top of you, is the paragon of truthfulness. What point would lying be? Tell him you will never love him, and break his heart. He admitted it himself, he was the cause of his own heart break. Do you play the charlatan the rest of your life, or do you become something else like what the higher authority gods are pushing on you? He wants you to know yourself. To find out who you really are... Wasn't that the point of this journey anyway?

OOC:
Oh shit dude. I can't, I can't even, like... the hopeless romantic in me has just taken over this character completely. This has tweaked how I see this character, but not 100% altered her. Let me put it this way...
She sat up and looked at him in the moonlight, seeing the anticipation of what will escape Kitsune's lips on his face. Vulnerability is something Kit's run from her whole life, but this man makes her vulnerable, both to external threats and to her own emotions. This has obviously been lust... I'm just looking for a good time... that's what every one of them before has been... "Everything that you manifest will be real. Hold onto what is real." The words of her patron and the feeling she allowed Kitsune to feel in her trance rush back to her. This isn't lust... it never has been. She's never felt so strongly before, it's such a foreign feeling! She knows who she has been her whole life: a person who hides behind an identity that isn't her own, running from moment to moment. Stepping onto that ship changed her. She knows that her skills as a charlatan will always serve her well, the skill of reading people and drawing out their true desires is second nature... but she grew up with the ideal that bonds of friendship last forever, an ideal that she's run from since she was a young adult. Why couldn't that apply to her love life? She had been someone who hid from anything truly positive and worthwhile in life... she was done hiding.

The realization melts Kitsune, her heart feels so full for the first time in her life. She finally opens her mouth and says, "Love is such a foreign experience... every relationship has been lustful and my feelings have been separated to protect myself. I'm good at what I do, I know how to hide who I am, how to play someone else, be who I need to be so that I can get what I need without revealing who I am... maybe that's why I haven't known who I am. I know that I have a tongue more silver than the most inspiring bard's speech," she pauses to chuckle lightly, "almost every word that I've said to Elena has been deceitful and untrue, which she's only realized once fortunately... but with you..."

She takes his cheek into her hand and prepares herself for what she's about to say. Taking a deep breath, she adds, "I can't bring myself to be dishonest with you, not even from the first conversation. I would've never told Poca or Elena about being on the boat looking for who I am, but you pulled that out of me without even trying. Maybe there is a Kiltzi, maybe not. Considering I spoke to a literal higher being, I'm a lot more inclined to believe that our love, our meeting, our connection was written in the stars before either of our first breaths. What we have could be predetermined... but you are right too. While it's not your fault that they didn't love you the same way in return, it was still your choice to love them, just like it's your choice to love me. I could easily tell you that I don't love you the same just like every girl before me, like every one before that legend says betrayed you, but what we do with this life, our fate... it's our choice. The gods created doors for us and led us to them, it's up to us mortals to walk through or run from it.

"I've spent my life running from that door... but I'm done."
She takes his face in her hands and kisses him passionately, longingly. After a moment, she pulls her lips away and looks him deep in his eyes. "I love you, more than I knew possible to love someone. I never want to leave your side, every moment away is just a moment leading up to being with you again. My heart sings your praises with every look, every word, every touch... Some things about me probably won't change. I'll always be silver tongued, I'm mischievous as hell, I see humor in everything even when I shouldn't, and I know how to get what I want out of people... But how I see my life certainly has. I don't want to hide behind an identity that I'm not, I don't want to avoid attachments, I don't want to be alone anymore. I won't lie to you, loving you is scary, especially right now because anyone could use you as a pawn against me and I would lose all sanity if you lost your life because of me... but despite that, I want you, I want you by my side always. I want to face every adventure and challenge together, I want a family with you, I want to hold your hand when the gods decide to take our souls into the afterworld. I love you with everything in me! I'm going to make mistakes, you are my first love after all, but I want to work through those moments with you. You want my heart, but you don't realize that you've had it all this time. I love you Dukalu, I love you!" The emotions of the moment have overpowered her and a steady stream of tears are quietly streaming down her cheeks.

The truth has set her free, this journey has changed her heart. Her background was a life as a charlatan, but her future... it was far from it.

No lie, I was crying inside writing it lmao it was beyond cathartic in a way I never expected! I've always loved "love" until a real asshole destroyed my heart and my trust. I genuinely thought I'd never really understand how love felt again, but it looks like I just needed the right outlet to realize I still know, just have to work back to it.
