Elder Blood Witcher 128 Guilty Conscience

Reima settles down for the day and relaxes in the company of the happy group, while Reima was away Priscilla and Quelina seemed to have become good friends, apparently the two adorable beings are similar enough to become quick buddies and different enough to share their different interests. While Priscilla's hobby of "training" and "waiting" didn't immediately enthral the young spider as soon as she started showing off the showy scythe moves Reima had taught her Quelina immediately begged her sister for a similar weapon. Quelaag was rather hesitant about her sister learning martial arts but relented when Reima tossed a wooden staff to her, while it would hurt if she made a mistake it wouldn't be instantly fatal. After two days Reima offered to take her out for some practical combat experience, when she heard that she'd have to kill something she immediately refused. Reima agreed, if her "tender" heart wasn't willing to kill a mindless monster then she deffinitely wouldn't be able to defend herself against a human.

While Quelina refused his offer Priscilla cut into their conversation and so they immediately went on a rampage that wiped out the majority of the swamps inhabitants, while there would still be a wayward monster every now and then the population has been drastically cut down. On their way back Reima actually spotted a figure sitting by a pillar.. Quelana seems to be sobbing silently in her dark dirty robes, the current most powerful and knowledgeable pyromancer alive looking so weak and vulnerable while still making Reima's senses scream danger. He decides to talk to the sisters about what to do with her.

He reaches the cave and requests to speak with Quelaag and Quelina in private before sitting them both down in-front of him while wearing a serious face.

Reima "So, I've got a problem that will affect you and I need your take on the situation, that ok?" He says crossing his arms.

Quelina looks confused and her sister speaks for the both of them, "What is it?"

Reima looks at them and begins to speak in a stoic voice, "I've discovered Quelana's location, what is your relations.h.i.+p with her and would you want to meet her again?" Their eyes widen as he mentions Quelana's name.

Quelina "Have you really found her? We thought she had died fighting against Gwyn." Says stutteringly. Quelaag continues for her, "Where is she? Is she sane?"

Reima waits for them to finish their tirade of questions and finally replies, "I don't know what she's doing or what her motive is but she's literally waiting outside this cave, I'm planning on dragging her here so you guys can sort out whatever problems she's having... Is that ok with you guys?"

They nod, "Can we come with you?"

Reima "No, I have no idea what her reaction to you would be... Let me take the heat so you can cool her down." Quelaag gives him a funny look while caressing her lower body which happens to literally be on fire.

After leaving the cave he stomps through the poisonous swamp, collecting a large quanit.i.ty of sludge in his boots while he walks. He reaches the pillar and looks down on the woman that seems to be mourning, she almost jumps out of her skin when she suddenly spots a figure standing over her. Looking up she spots his cat-like green eyes glaring at her, realising that the person doesn't wish to harm her she stops charging her Pyromancy flame and begins to speak to him.

Quelana "You can see me? You have peculiar eyes, are you a demon perhaps? No... You are undead, the one who rang the bells." She speaks, more to herself than Reima and comes to her own conclusion.

Reima "I did ring the bells, but I am her-"

Quelana "Do you wish to learn Pyromancies? Your flame is strangely familiar to me, I can sense it's strength from here."

Reima tries to explain his presence again, "I am here to bri-"

Quelana "Facinating! I can sense the chaos from you, an-"

Reima has a vein appear on his forehead and finally interrupts her, "Your sisters wish to see you, I will bring you to them." He says with finality.

The red eyes peering through the hood open wide and she tries to stand quickly, "No, I will not see them like that. I will not twist my memories of them with those pitiful insane existences."

Reima is slightly confused, where did she hear that Quelaag and Quelina were insane? "I'm not following you... Quelaag personally asked me to return you to them."

Quelana "Lies! I myself personally saw her tearing apart undead's that had entered her domain. My sister would never commit such violent acts on nothing but a whim!"

Reima "Perhaps if you observed a bit longer you'd see that she didn't do it on a whim, Quelina was sick and needing a constant supply of humanity just to stay alive. Where were you when they needed help? Crying here and feeling sorry for yourself?" His eyes peer into her soul as he continues "You make me sick to even consider being related to someone as selfish as you." Every rhetorical question felt like an impact to Quelana's chest, her feeling of loss slowly turning into guilt as she realises her initial a.s.sumption had been wrong.

Reima holds his hand out, "I personally don't even want to talk with you any longer, but I will bring you to the sisters so they can judge you themselves."

She slowly reaches for his hand and is pulled up, despite the terrible guilt she is currently feeling she wishes to lay her eyes upon her beloved family again.
