Peasant Quest Part 2A Helios !o491aN2VeI 06/02/14(Mon)18:08:26 No.32533712

Just to finish up part 2 for those who were watching. I'll add this bit to the beginning of the part 3 thread when it comes.

I hope the previous one got archived.

The story continues:

>>32533223

You try & smell the blood, to get some scent, but you havnt fed. You can't smell anything, you can barely feel anything either. Just that terrible cold that radiates out from your bones.

>>32533204

You recall the strange intuition that let you get your bearings in the woods. It seems madness, but you're out of options. You close your eyes, still your mind. You try and sense Kassa.

To your suprise, you can! you can *feel* her. The sense is difficult to describe, like how you know where you hand is in relation to the rest of your body, even when you cant see it.

She's on the outskirts of your village, having just arrived & she's not alone. Fires roar as many of the huts & storerooms go up in flames. It's as if she's a flame herself, she's radiant with some.... energy, the warmth coming from her is unbelievable. You recognize it as the same feeling as when you gorged on the savages blood, only far more intense. You come to the sickening realisation that she's glutted on stolen life, many many lives.

Somehow, she knows you're watching her, you can feel it. She wants you to come to her & she wants you to come now. There are hundreds of people around her chanting in a language you dont know, amidst the words you can hear them shouting her name over & over.

I'll add this bit to the beginning of part 3

YES

Knew the village would have been a FAR better option. Well shit, everything has gone to shit, and it's all our fault.

Then I say we embrace our destiny and rush headlong into it. All that matters is that we will have Kassa by our side.

I agree with embracing our destiny, in that our destiny is to choose what we do. And do we know Kassa as she is currently IS Kassa as she was previously? I mean, if you want a random vampire partner, go for it.

>>32533712
Get over there, figure out what happened to Kassa.

If what happened to Kassa is the same as what happened to us, then yes, she is Kassa, just with her soul promised to the God-Tree, like us.

Btw I propose we name the God-Tree Maldrassil.

You run back home as fast as you can, you dont bother with the road this time, going straight through the fields. The countryside goes past in a blur. None of it matters to you.

You reach your home village. The palisade lies charred & shattered. Evidently broken open by the raider host that has been rampaging across the countryside. The main thoroughfare is scarcely recognizable, buildings smashed open & set aflame, bodies lying in the street, shrieks & sobs on the wind. Behind it all you can hear the rhythmic chanting. hundreds of voices in unison saying the same thing over & over.

You suspect the language must be that of the northern raiders. The only word you can recognize is 'Kassa'. The chanting is coming from the chapel, you head over there, stepping over fallen timber & butchered corpses.

The chapel is gone, smashed to rubble. In its place is a crude wooden structure, built from broken bits of timber & you note with revulsion, human remains. It's smaller & simpler, but what it's intended to represent is clear.

The Pale Tree.

More coming....

Hundreds of raiders are gathered around the tree-structure, chanting in some kind of ritual observance. You notice a few surviving villagers as well, held in chains at the mercy of the raiders.

On a raised makeshift bench at the base of the 'tree' sits Kassa. She's lounging like a cat stretching itself before a warm fire, she's licking blood from her fingers. Her skin is as pale as moonlight, her hair scraggly & matted with mud & dried blood & gore. In place of teeth, her mouth is filled with jagged, bony thorns & all about her mouth is caked with blood & gore.
Her eyes are the worst, theyre gone completely. Theres only empty sockets, filled with a strange perpetual shadow that resisted even the glare of the fires. On her chest, just below her heart is an open wound, from the positioning, it looks self inflicted.

You wonder if this is what you look like now.

She turns to you, she seems almost stupefied, unnaturally euphoric. If you didnt know better, you'd think she were drunk.

The crowd falls silent & parts before you. She beckons you to come to her.

What do you do?

Ugh I'm really tired & trying to vomit up writing as fast as possible without any quality control & it's really showing.

So I'm gonna leave it here for today.

I shall return for part 3 tomorrow between 1730-1800 GMT

I'll leave with a couple of hints:

-Kassa really doesn't seem herself

-This is not the end.

-A reckoning approaches.

OP, don't kill yourself for the quest, listen to what your body's telling you.
>>32534587
Don't join her. This isn't her. We don't know if something has come over her, or if she went into this expecting to be with us, and was corrupted by what she took in. Say, "Kassa? What happened after I left? You never needed to do this, I came back to find you! I was a fool to even leave the village and not tell everyone of your dream."
