Melita
they should have checked the ashes
of the women they burned alive
She took an intermission of sorts, from the packing, from the details originating in her mind, from the push and pull and pulse in a variety of directions. This morning was for exploring, amassing her knowledge of the world before them, and for some deterrent from the life aching down the notches in her spine (war might be breathing there too – because eight seasons could go by in a flash if she wasn’t paying attention).

The honeybee and faithful Fangorn took a detour away from the misty proportions of the lower pools, and scaled up, up, up towards the rush and roar of the falls. There she sucked in a massive breath, expanding her arms in a restless stretch, staff over her head, almost tempted to scream into the void with a round of laughter, a dose of merriment, she didn’t feel in her bones. Drifting and aimless – even when there were so many ways to go.

Her companion grumbled though, and she looked down to find a hoard of his fellows had followed. “Ah, I missed all of you so much!” The grin thereafter was a little deceiving, very Cheshire-laced, as she maneuvered her armament lower. How amusing would it be to shove them all off the waterfall itself? Urging Fangorn to come in behind her, the youth’s smile enveloped into something disastrous and almost cunning, as she raised the weapon as if going to bat.

Sah

Sah and Lilly were just arriving to the Leap when they took in the sight in front of them. Melita and her own vampire gourd moving to shove an entire hoard of them off of the waterfall. Raising a brow and letting out a laugh, Sah approached. "I have to say, this is a little twisted. How does Fangorn feel about this?"

Sah was already drawing his sword to help shove the creatures into the water, a sharp grin on his face. "Whoever knocks the most off wins?" He offered, competitive streak rearing its head. How could it not when all of their past encounters had ended in such games? It was fun to compete against Melita, even if she generally won, Sah still had fun.

Her head raised at the sound of another’s voice, but the swing of her staff didn’t cease. It hit one gourd with a steady hand, and its resounding hiss as it glided over and down into the falls might’ve been a tad alarming, given past predilections – if there weren’t so many, and it likely would simply descend and float along the water below. Fangorn grumbled something in response, but Melita was a bright, singsong ember. “Oh, this is nothing. We’ve seen a lot. One time we battled a big one with blight!” As another advanced, threatening to nip at her ankles, she gently shoved it away with her foot, and it followed suit with its brethren. “If they were civilized, I’d feel worse.” She shrugged; but they weren’t – so she didn’t.

The following grin unfurled her comfort in Sah’s presence anyway – games and merriment to be had, rather than any dark, brooding qualities to meander and mull within. “You’re on!” Grateful for another challenge, the youth bobbed onward, aiming for her third.

Sah

Sah let out a laugh, his lightning beginning to coat the blade of his sword. "Fair point." A giant one with blight, jeez that did sound rough. Challenge set however, Sah grinned eagerly. Eyeing the hoard, he grinned. With no hesitation, he and Lilly were moving. The pup eagerly leaping onto the nearest gourd and smashing it with her paws and teeth. Her tail wagged excitedly as she joined in the game. Sah however made a swipe with his sword, that slashed one pumpkin but shocked another enough that it backed up. Unfortuanly for that one, it stepped too far and tumbled over the edge into the water.

Sah gave a triumphant grin towards Melita. "Three for me! Companion kills count right?" If they didn't, then where was the fun in that?

Fangorn, to his credit, didn’t participate. Still inherently loyal to his own kind, the gourd grumbled and rumbled to each of the approaching fauna; likely trying to fend them off, to warn them before it was too late. Nonetheless, it didn’t seem to matter. His omens fell on deaf ears, for they continued to advance in a most ridiculous, audacious way, semblances of growls and hisses. Melita could hear her beloved companion sigh, and all she could proffer in exchange was a shrug.

They’d tried.

Her grin deepened as the challenge persisted; a tie for the moment. Another massive beast launched her way, and in one crack of her staff, its rally became short-lived – descending in a mass of angry, sputtering vitriol into the abyss below. “Four! And I suppose!” She called, readying her armament for another advance.

Sah

With the rules affirmed, Sah and Lilly set about the task of destroying pumpkins. The wolf pup was having a disturbing amount of fun leaping onto their heads and squishing them with her still-too-big paws. At one point she turned to her bonded, tail wagging furiously, and torso splattered with pumpkin. It was both an endearing and terrifying sight.

Sah meanwhile dealt with a particularly nasty gourd with teeth that jutted out harshly. A swing of his sword knocked it off balance and a harsh kick sent it flying over the edge. The pest hissed all the way down until it disappeared into the black water below. Sah then turned to Lilly and noted her kill. "That's five for us!"

Fangorn’s warnings continued in the same maelstroms: ignored. Perhaps the gourds still thought him a traitor. Maybe they were too hellbent on destruction, mayhem, the glory of their stretch across landscapes instead of the secluded proportions of the Hollowed Grounds, that simply nothing could stop them. Not logic. Not control. Not efforts to appease.

So Melita still didn’t feel bad, as two more slunk along, hissing, grumbling, unveiling their fangs, as if poised to decimate. With a lovely little hum stirring under her breath, she brought back her staff, and in similar motions from before, clobbered two at the same time. They sailed through the air and into the mist, disappearing in between curtains of fog. “Six!” She announced with that same grin, not yielding to Sah’s challenge; the provocations remaining an unfurled demolition and resolve.

Sah

Sah grinned, thoroughly enjoying the mindless chaos of their current game. It was a bit sadistic, but it was fun. Lilly had decided that she wanted to eat the gourds and so had paused for a snack. Which left Sah to battle Melita's progress alone. And fortunately or unfortuanly, a partially large gourd had targeted the Abandoned.

With a feral grin, Sah knocked  the pest back into a tree, it's thick outer covering cracking slightly. Vines whipping angrily, it attempted to grab the Outlander, only for a blade tipped with lightning to cut the vines. Screeching, the creature grew desperate and  rolled towards Sah in an attempt to push him off the falls. With a chuckle and a sidestep, the Abandoned got out of the way. With a quick twist, he  kicked the gourd off into the mist. A satisfying splat was heard from out of sight. "Six for me!" Sah called before returning to the fray.

Melita lifted her gaze off of incoming gourds to survey Sah’s weaponry as he struck, and they flew – zigzag patterns of electricity to admire and scrutinize from a safe distance. “Ooh, nice blade!” Running commentary while the pumpkins continued onward (why?) provided her with pleasant distractions, though her next wallop packed another two-for-one special as the honeybee launched another rally of movements and motions. “Eight!” A pleasant hum trilled under her breath, before her brow furrowed. “You know, we could probably use these for something.” As amusing as it was to witness the ridiculous fiends fly off the falls, and disappear into the mist, her stomach had begun to rumble, and therefore, notions of what to do with these ridiculous fiends sparked and flew. “Have you ever had pumpkin pie?” Or soup? Muffins? Cookies?

Sah

Sah sent a grin over his shoulder, one tinged with feral satisfaction and adrenaline. "Thanks! It was a gift!" The amount of gourds had significantly decreased, only a few stragglers remained. With another electrified slice, Sah took down one more of the larger pests as Melita called over. "Seven! What's pumpkin pie like?" He asked curiously as he sent another pumpkin over the falls with a strong kick. "Eight!"

The Outlander wasn't familiar with human foods before coming to Caido. And even though he'd arrived last Leafchange, he'd been too preoccupied to pay attention to the seasonal delicacies. And so even though he vaguely knew what a pie was, he'd never heard of a pumpkin pie, but the name basically gave away what it was. Sah however fully agreed that they needed to do something with the mass carnage they were causing.

Gifts of weaponry were always a fond favorite of Melita’s, so she granted another whimsical smile at the notion. Thereafter though, as the tie came into place, her attention diverted back to the pumpkins and potential for food. “It’s delicious! Textures a little weird. But muffins, or cookies, are wonderful too.” She wrinkled her nose for a moment, gazing out over the mist. How many had they potentially wasted? Fangorn grumbled something, likely not complimentary, and her eyes swept over to a large, incoming gourd – because these fools weren’t letting up.

“This one can be for baking then!” She declared, raising her staff in triumph, and as the vampire cretin launched, so did she, whacking it until it fell headlong into the thickets and long grass, rather than over the top of the falls. “Grab it!”

Sah

"Huh, sounds worth trying." Sah noted as Melita described their options. The Outlander had discovered a love of sweets since coming to Caido, so he was willing to try just about any kind of dessert. He was about to target another small group of the gourds when his friend called out. Eyes swinging around to lock onto their target, Sah grinned. The larger pumpkin would certainly do for baking.

As their quarry went sailing into the bushes, Sah gave chase. Bursting past the foliage, he came to the creature scrambling to right itself. Before it could regain it's balance, the Abandoned acted. Leaping forward, he stabbed it with his sword, being careful this time not to completely destroy it.

The result was a successfully downed gourd still in tact enough to bake with. "I got it! That's nine by the way!" Sah called back through the bushes. At his voice Lilly came over to sniff the creature, curious about why this one wasn't squished like the rest.

Something not unlike Fangorn’s hiss emitted from her mouth, and she rolled her eyes as the rest of the gourds seemed to begin dissipating from view. “Pff. I hit it first. It should be nine for me as well.” Hands on her hips, minus the staff, and she trudged her way forward through the long grass, peering along the roots and nettles, the thorns and brush, following after Sah’s voice.

Fangorn, with all his apprehension, wisely stayed back. Her heart went out to him, very briefly, as it did so much through Leafchange antics, blocking the whole sight from view. At the very least, the ones that had gone over the falls were likely still floating on the water, grumbling their way over to the banks. This one had no chance of survival. “All right,” she murmured after a moment of clarity, rumbling over the thoughts in the back of her mind. “We can take it back to Torchline and have a grand feast.” With someone who knew how to bake it; because that certainly wasn’t her.

Sah

Sah winked at Melita. "Nope, I landed the killing blow. It's my kill, and my win." He insisted with a fierce grin, still coming down from the excitement. Lilly wagged happily beside him in agreement. The carnage had driven the rest of the vampire gourds away for now. And that left the two friends the perfect opportunity to grab their spoils and head out.

"Alright, let's get going. Hopefully someone in Torchline feels like baking. I'm still an amateur." Sah had managed to make bread cookies that were pretty good. But he had no idea how to make a pie. As luck would have it, arriving into the city, a bake called out to them. She'd been looking to get a nice sized gourd for baking. In exchange for them offering theirs, she'd give them samples of everything she made with it. And that was how Melita and Sah ended up getting their pie, as well as a few muffins and cookies for the road.
