Sylvia has felt like an outcast for a long time, with her being born in the medievals and suddenly getting resurected into an entirely different world, even in here homeland she felt alien with the old architecture and customs being completely different after so many years, even people she knew before getting enslaved were completely different, and keya...she never wanted to see her again...

after a long time of traveling she eventualy came across a place that still has the old time values she once knew mytheria it wasnt the dracholm she once knew but she couldnt be too picky, she floated around the planet until night fell and then landed in the woods, she covered the small spacecraft with leaves and let her loyal animal pack out and went into the village of greenhook. she went into the inn and stayed there for the night...

upon waking up she wanted to head to a small pond she saw earlier for some meditation, she hasnt spoke to her goddess or the spirits in a while and she didnt want to dissatisfy them. after the lengthy meditation she went back into town, she still feeled a little with her armor being very futuristic and shiny as opposed to all the medieval equipment, but it was modeled after the medieval ranger armor fairly acurately so it only caused people to look strangely at her.

out of nowhere she heard a woman yelling at the town guards, something about abduction and murder but the guards did not seem to pay her much mind, when the two townkeepers have left sight she walked up to the woman. "excuse me, i couldnt help hearing what you said to the guards...what was that about abduction...?" the woman who was clearly upset and proceeded to yell at sylvia, at least she got the answer she wanted, it was mostly something about an evil necromancer who was abducting townspeople and murder them to use their bodies for his necromantic expirements.

she rolled her eyes realizing how reminiscent this was to her past but couldnt help but take action, she asked the townsfolk of the whereabouts of this castle and headed there, armed with her light bow and armored animal pack, she was once more ready to go on an adventure like she once did with the immortals back in the day before she was ressurected...

Marudon had found himself in a planet that he is unfamiliar with, he was there because he decided to stow away in civilian vessel, something was kind of off with this planet. As marudon leaves the docking station, it was apparent that this place is rather unique, he looked around to find that most buildings were made of brick and mortar, not metal, and that there weren't a lot of electronics other than the ones in the docking bay. He decided to explore a bit and stumbled upon a town that is built within castle walls, "Huh, neat" he thought to himself as his stomach started to grumble, "I should go get some food." He pulled his hood down and heads to the market.

The market was vibrant with people bargaining for deals, streets performers getting a lot of attention from the crowd, and no one seems to be paying attention to the demon walking amongst them. He somehow was able to purchase some bread and water without drawing attention to himself, but he pushed his luck when he tried to snag a deal from the butcher. He started to bargain with the butcher but he wasn't budging and it got a point where marudon was starting to feel irritated, "Why won't you just take the deal?!" He screamed while jolting his head up, lifting the cloak off of his face, and revealing his red skin and horn, "The Devil!" Screamed the butcher, "Somebody help! The devil walks among us!" Marudon was rather confused and said, "Devil? what are you talking about?" but before he got an answer, the guards were right on his tail, "Ah crud." He exclaims and quickly run for the gates. He was still being chased after he left town he came across a forest and concluded that the only way to lose them was to fly into the trees where he can't be found. He sat on the highest branches and after a solid 30 minutes of searching they gave up and Marudon was free for now.

He had a pretty decent view of his surrounding from the tree tops and what he saw from there caught his attention. There was a space ship hidden amongst trees, he took a closer look and found that it was completely in tact, "Huh, I would've thought that this thing crashed here but it seems that it was intentionally hidden." He kept looking at it, trying to figure out where the ship is from but he couldn't tell at all. He then left the ship as it is because he couldn't figure out a way to break into it, he decided that he would enjoy being in the wood for a while.

He started to jump from tree to tree, picking fruit that were about, and he rested on the edge of the forest. He reflected on what happened today, this town seemed weird to him, it is as if it is stuck in the past and he also recalled that he was called "the devil" that was a term that was unfamiliar to him, he sat there and just think for a while until he heard a noise coming from a nearby path. He saw a girl walking through the woods with a bow in hand and a quiver full of little chips, which is rather odd, but he also noticed something that he recognized, this girls looks a little like that psychopath he encountered not too long ago, Keya Gildas, intrigued by that fact he decided to follow her and try to find out if it really is Keya.

she whistled and a massive black beast showed up. well, the beast looked blackin the darkness of the woods, but as she got into a field it was revealed it was actualy very dark green with light yellow spikes covering it's back and tail. once she reaches the edge of the forrests she seems to speak to her beast, and after that it crouches and goes into stalking mode, sneaking over the field, most of what could be seen of the two is the long yellow barbs sticking out of the high grass, like the fin of a shark as it stalks it's prey. the elf girl stayed behind and took her hood off to catch the sun on her face and hair.

though when she took her hood off it is immediatly revealed she is not keya, she had bright green, lively eyes and gold blond ish hair as opposed to keya's almost toxic yellow snake eyes and volcanic orange hair. this girl too was alot more relaxed as she sat down in the grass, not requiring an item to play with. her armor was alot different too, with her armor showing more natural colors and glowing potions.

it appeared she was much more perceptive when she suddenly looked straight into marudon's direction, smiled and waved in a friendly manner at him...

He silently observes this girl from the tree tops when he saw a big beast approaching the girl, he contemplates whether he should intervene or not, "hmmm.. On one hand if I don't do something, an innocent young girl may get killed and eaten but on the other hand if it is Keya then the beast can injure her a bit before I need to step in. Hmm tough choice...." But while he was thinking, the girl had approached the beast, the face each other for a while, the beast walks away without doing anything.

Marudon was confused at this but then he noticed that the girl was taking off her hood and reveals that it is not Keya but it seems that she is the species as her. He then noticed that girl was looking in the direction of him, "What?" Marudon thought, "Did she see me? No, there's no way that she saw me." and just as he finished that train of thought, the girl waved and smiled at him, "Yeah she saw me." He then climbs down the tree and greets the girl, "Well it seems that I have been caught, I assume that the ship I have found earlier was yours since you look so out of place from the rest. What are you doing here in a planet that seems to be stuck in the past?" He patiently wait for an answer.

"oh you found my ship..? i hid it using the past camouflage the elves had taught me..." she yawns, the tone of the sound is on par with her higher voice "i-i came her because my own world has changed too much, i was born in a timeplacement similar to this one, my own world now is so different so i came here to get to myself before i adapt to this new world i just woke up in..."
she sighs saddened thinking of how beautifull her oplanet used to be.

Marudon thought to himself, "Wow this girls seems to be a little bit unhinged but she seems a bit lost and misplaced." He started to look around and again he found that the things around them are old fashioned and rural which begs the question, where did this girl came from, "Huh," Marudon started to speak, "You said that the place you were from has changed a lot, where exactly did you came from?"

"i honestly dont know what my planet is called, it might be named after the continent i used to live in, drachom. i was born in what they call the medievals but i was killed. many years later i was resurected in the name of science. they tried to weaponize me but i got them jailed for slavery and expirementing on unwilling subjects. but i know nothing of this galaxy..." there was a sad tone to her voice as she spoke, she did miss the times where traditions were more important to the wood elves than gain and profit, they worked just as hard but there was no longer any tribal paint or feathers in the hair, just medals and promotions.

"i came here to explore the timesettings to catch up to the time setting of my own world from my own world to catch on my own pace, instead of dying in a beautifull world and waking up in a completely different world..."

Marudon is at a complete lost for words but he understands what she is going through, being out there in the vast universe all alone and not even your own kind is there to help you is overwhelming at times. He then tries to open more conversation, "Might I accompany you? This planet is a pretty nice change of pace from the usual metallic skyscrapers of the other planets but I feel like sharing the experience with someone else might be better." He then looks at her waiting for an answer.

"well that depends really...i've taken it upon myself to free some prisoners from that castle over there" she points at the castle that her beast is sneaking towards. "i heard from a villager her husband was missing, and that an evil wizard abducts and enslaves villagers and keeps them in his castle. i've had some history with slavery myself" she awkwardly scratches under her neck, revealing a burnmark for a split second under the shade of her scarf. "and im part of a faction, they would want me to do this...im letting my bear case the castle and he'll wave his tail at me when he found a weak point for me to sneak into. so you can accompany me now on this mission, or just wait for me to return since i have a whole world to explore here..."

"thanks, i guess i could use a hand, slavery is a pretty tricky field of operations, just dont surrender, i know as a matter of fact that there is a faith worse than death..." she snuck through the field, keeping her head low in the grass and she told marudon to do the same, and soon it became evident why. there were skeletal and zombie archers who were not exactly though on their own, but they could warn the necromancer who in response could kill the prisoners and beef up the defense...

Seeing the army of the undead surrounding the castle and the information that Sylvia said, Marudon decided that his brute strength would not be the best thing to use when infiltrating the castle. He tried casting a fireball on the far side of the castle to distract them but it only distracted the ground troops and the archers were still on high alert. They did manage to sneak into through the back walls undetected but now they need to figure out a way to get to the prisoners.

Inside the walls, the two of them would run into a stranger who was oddly out of place amongst the legions of undead. A girl, clad in elegant robes with seemingly nothing to defend herself with stood amongst the rubble, having been assessing the situation and planning her next move accordingly when the two newcomers popped through the wall behind her.

She lowers her hands from her eyes and turns her attention away from the castle and the undead patrolling it, in order to look behind her and size the two of them briefly enough to make an opening statement. "Locals." She mistakenly comments. She continuing to look the two of them up and down, her face showing visible scorn for the demon before moving on to address the elf, her voice having an aristocratic air to it. "Though your equipment is perhaps too advanced to be a local. Tell me; what did this demon offer you to get you to follow him of your own will? Or perhaps...You are not here of your own will?" The robe-clad stranger's voice gains a hint of menace, threatening the demon somewhat indirectly, taking on a more defensive stance as she does so.

she acrobatically jumps through the hole making almost no noise upon landing, just a light tap on the stone floor like a pillow falling to the ground. she instantly saw the small woman and wanted to kill her quickly to avoid their presence being revealed, as she drew up her bow she heard the woman speak to her. "d-demon...? he asked if he could come along...im no thrall of his and i honestly did not know he was a demon...and i see no reason to fear him...yet." she says as she briefly looks over her shoulder at marudon.

she amost suspected the woman of trying to create a fight between sylvia and marudon, but these operation required a 100% co-operation between two operatives. "i have heard of an evil necromancer that abducts villagers and keeps them imprisoned to expirement on them unwillingly. it comes very close to a crime i have a grudge with myself, slavery, and it is punishable by death where i'm from. but im...we are mostly here to free these people." she switched something on her bow and the transparent white arrow turns red.

Marudon looks over at the woman and gave her the evil eye. He always hated that he was always painted as the bad guy even though he hasn't done anything. He also noticed that Sylvia was shocked that he was a demon, maybe that's why she was so trusting of him. Nevertheless as the two of them conversed for a while, Marudon looked around for a bit and found where the prisoners were, "Hey!" he says to sylvia, "I think the prisoners are this, down to the basement." They both left and Marudon gave one left death stare to the woman.

The Human tenses up as the bow is drawn on her, raising her left arm in front of her chest. The threat of the weapon has the Human's attention initially, hearing out what the Elf has to say, though when she notices the Demon try to slip away her eyes divert their gaze to watch carefully what he's doing. It seems that despite the bow being trained on her, she still feels more threatened by the Demon than the Elf.

"If your intentions are as noble as you claim, then perhaps you should not be pointing that weapon at me." The Human replies a moment before the Demon claims he's 'found' the prisoners, looking back to the Elf now. "Tell me, do you not think that it is odd that not only does he 'know' where the prisoners are but additionally there is no undead standing guard here?" The Human questions the Elf, not exactly prepared to follow them into what was undoubtedly a trap in her mind.

she looks at marudon and back at the human before lowering her bow. "perhaps...but im not sure about you either, i found you in the castle of my mark after all..." she says, looking suspiciously at both of them before following marudon down into the basement with a piercing arrow she switched after meeting with the human.

upon entering the darkness of the basement she turns on a small flashlight in her chestpiece as she is on her guard for an ambush. meanwhile her bear squirms itself through the hole in the wall and follows it's master down the basement.

The basement was dark with patches of light emitting from small torches along the walls, Marudon was frustrated to see that woman but it seems rather that she would be here in the first place, what is she doing here? As they move along the basement dungeons, they start to the rickety sound of bones moving along the hallway. Marudon prepares to draw out his sword, "Be on the look out," Marudon says to Sylvia, "There might be some guards up ahead." She then readies her bow but she were getting ready for the problem up ahead, it turns out the problem was right behind them. From an off-shoot corridor that they passed came two skeletons wielding a sword and shield, Marudon quickly disposes of them but seems that their presence has been alerted, the basement echoed the sounds of skeletons running towards them.

upon entering the darkness, the beast seems to blend into the surroundings becoming almost invisible save for his glowing spikes. she shoots one of the vile undead creatures but it was too late. the skeletons came rushing to their location. sylvia already found that her arrows were not doing a great job at scattering the bones and she wasnt carrying any blunt weapons, she was forced to stay back a little bit and let her beast do the brawling, but she sensed the prisoners were nearby, they just had to press on.

Marudon swings his big sword at the group, it was not enough destroy them completely but enough to clear a path for them to run through. As they ventured deeper into the dungeon, lights starts to get dimmer and dimmer. The screaming of the prisoners can be heard through the halls now, eventually the two of them finally found the prisoners. "Go." Says Marudon, "you free the prisoners, I'll keep watch." As sylvia toys with the locks and starts freeing the people trapped in it, Marudon looks down the halls for any sign of enemies. The halls were pitch black but Marudon has a feeling they are being watched.

in quick succesion of eachother she frees the prisoners, in a few minutes all of them were freed. she senses too that something seems to be watching. "we need to move, something or someone is watching! prisoners! follow me!" she runs towards the gap but in the hallway she seems to fall flat on her back, petrified and dragged off. by presumably the necromancer.

Marudon watches helplessly as Sylvia was dragged away by an unseen enemy, "Sylvia!" Screams Marudon but before he can get a response, more of the undead started to show up. Skeletons armed with swords and arrows blocks his way out and his way to sylvia. He cannot take them all out, he is cornered and outnumbered. The archers pulls back on their bow, Marudon quickly throws a fireball at a group of them and attempts to block some of them with his sword. While he did prevent most of them from killing them, an arrow got past and hits his leg. He is fighting through the pain when a group of sword fighters charges at him. He easily destroys the skeletons one by one but their numbers were overwhelming, he then pushes through the group and attempts to escape them. 

The Skeleton chases after him relentlessly but Marudon was able to lose in one of the hallways. Having some breathing room, Marudon wraps the arrow wound with a piece of his cloak. He then stumbles around the basement trying to find any sign of Sylvia. As he walks through the tunnels, he came across a large door in the end of a hallway, it was completely normal except for the large amount of energy Marudon is sensing as he approached the door.

apparently test subjects were organized by race. orcs, elves humans, each race had their own prison block filled with various torture tools apparently picked to fit each race. though aftr sylvia went through, each section was empty and there seemed to be no trace of her. however, upstairs in the castle itself pleads for help could be heard, upon paying attantion that is.

A foul stench was eminating from the room and as Marudon opens the door, the reason behind it became too clear. The room was stained with dried blood, burn marks across the floor, and cages on the sides of the room. Marudon inspects the room throughly looking for anything would help him find Sylvia. He came up with nothing but in the silence a distant faint scream can be heard from the upper levels of the tower. Marudon the quickly rushed towards the source of the scream but as he ran up the stair, the arrow would start to feel like shards of glass stabbing into his legs, he was slowed and had to stop, "God damn it!" Screamed Marudon, "I need to get to sylvia, I hope I'm not too late." He says while limping towards the screams.

there was a room, it eminateda bright purple light and the screams were getting louder and more painfull sounding. upon enetering the room it seemed that sylvia was paralyzed, and a man in a black cloak and robes was performing some sort of magical expirement on her.
