Rolling hillside

[Nataku]

On one of many hillsides sat a lone woman whose sweeping hair flapped softly in the wind. Smoke rose from a long and elegant looking pipe from which she took a drag every so often. Her back laid against a large boulder and her pack of travelings was with her along with an assortment of weaponry goods all hand-fashioned by her, especially her set of on hand blades. She looked up into the sky and sighed, enjoying its serenity and peace.

[Siebelink]

Traveling alone had its perks as well as its downfalls, the world was always ripe for exploring. Booted feet wandered the roiling green hillsides of Ireland, their expanse vast and beautiful. For now the scenery alone was a distraction and being a loner by nature due to her abilities, Siebelink rarely found pleasant company. The majority of the time those she met were a noisy lot. Although right now she could use a good dose of noise.

Smelling the smoke about the same time she spotted it, Siebelink wandered to discover its source. The wind blew the chocolate cherry tresses wildly about her face, giving the illusion that her eyes were glowing even I. The daylight. There was no sign of hunger rising up anytime soon and so she had assumed this was a good time to approach the lone woman enjoying her smoke. "Nice weather, don't you think?"

[Nataku]

She woman looked over quickly to the one who disrupted her peace. "Oh well, hello there." she greeted the newcomer. "Aye. The weather is most enjoyable......." she seemed to trail off her words as she continued to look into the ever blue that was stretched out above.

"Please sit. May I offer you some smoke? Almost as enjoyable as the weather." she asked, now looking at her with a greeting smile.

[Siebelink]

"I thank your gracious offer but must decline the smoke." Instead she took the offered seat and stretched her legs out beside the smoking companion's, leaning back on her arms and staring up at the sky then to the hills. The wind billowing her hair wildly before she cast out a psychich shield and straightened up the brush her hair back into place. The wind touching everything outside her human shaped shielding. "Why, if I may ask; are you out here?"

[Nataku]

The blonde haired woman nodded at her decline and sat back, continuing her smoking, but ready to quit, should it bother the newcomer.

Her gaze turned towards the question that came from the other woman present. "Well, I'm here on a mission. I came across a village and I overheard of a certain type of creature terrorizing them; a Phooka........I'm out here to either take back what belongs to the village and leave them alone forever........or kill it."

[Siebelink]

"A Phooka? I've not heard of such a being. What is it doing to this town?" Eyes fixated on the skies, she sat still without the breeze touching her demeanor. The shield still in place around only her being, thoughts moving through their conversation. "Would you mind too much if I tagged along? If there's anything I'm good at, its killing." Siebelink turned to face the blond one with a smile on her face.

[Nataku]

"Well, this creature has been stealing whatever crops they have not harvested on the village's harvest day, which is not too bad, for they were used to this. However, this creature has gotten bolder and has kidnapped a child from their village during the night out of her bed. The evidence of this kidnapping was obvious........" she said as she took one last drag, her pipe now only filled with ash. She inverted the pipe and began to lightly tap out the refuse that was left in the pipe's bowl.

She looked up at the request of the other woman and gave a smirk. "Sure. Sounds like fun. However, I believe introductions are in order!" she said as she swung her legs to come underneath her and from her bent knees, leapt up on her feet. "The name is Saiyen."

[Siebelink]

"Children too... what a strange thing indeed. My thought is that if it went from food to children, it can only be meaning to cook the child. If it hasn't already." Pushing off the grass she stood and brushed her clothing clean. Looking to Saiten with amber optics and that fanged smile. "Siebelink. Do you do this for a living Saiyen?"

[Nataku]

"Indeed" she simply said as she flung out her jacket to her side off of the boulder she was leaning against and swung it into one arm, noting the possible cooking of said child and hoping she would bring back a living human and not a carcass.

"Actually, I do not. I'm an artificer and an adventurer, however I will not turn down the pleas of one in need of my assistance, especially if I have the ability to help." she said as she now picked up a long and thick bag with only the tips of some type of handles protruding from the opening in the top.

[Siebelink]

"Seeing as you are the knowledgeable one on this case, I will follow your lead." Hands slid inside the pockets of her leather jacket, she was very much unarmed but didn't necessarily require physical weapons when she could create some of her own.

A small growling from her stomach reminded her that she hadn't eaten yet and that she should keep a safe distance from the woman she just met or risk losing a possible ally to her insatiable hunger. "This creature we're hunting, do the villagers want it dead or alive? "

[Nataku]

"They want the kidnapped child back first and foremost. The creature they want to deal with no more. I will make sure that happens, either with or without killing it." she said, now hoisting the pack over her shoulder.

She turned and smirked at her new companion "You ready to find us a Phooka?"

[Siebelink]

"As ready as one can be when in a foreign land. I trust you to take the lead." Hands slid out from the pockets of her coat and traversed the length of her hip to brush the this hand fall back where the second hand greeted the first and fingers laced beneath the buttocks like old lovers reunited once more. Careful roving of the amber optics signal that she is alert to all that surrounds.

[Nataku]

"Indeed! Let us go then!" she spoke out excitedly, now with a slight jog across the rolling hillsides that were spread amongst the land. Her direction was towards a small forest in which the creature was most likely residing. Her crossbow strapped to her leg did not budge at all, the bag full of her swords was a different matter however, making only muted clanging sounds due to each of the special blades having their own sheath.

[Siebelink]

Saiyen's excitement was somewhat contagious, or perhaps it had to do with the idea of hunting that propelled siebelink forward into a steady jog of her own. Whatever the reasons it was easy enough to keep pace wth the artificer, noticing the way the blades sheathes clanked together Siebelink took the moment in their journey to compliment her new acquaintance. "You do great work to make such deadly weapons be so silent. Tell me, would I be able to persuade you in forming a special blade for me; once this mission has seen its end?"

[Nataku]

"I believe I can. The weapons abilities will depend on what items I have to infuse into said weapon. Keep that in mind when deciding what you would like me to make." she said as they came upon a large boulder overlooking more rolling hills. She stopped on the edge of this rock and looked off in the distance. "I believe the creature resides in those woods there." she said with a pointing of her index finger towards the multitude of trees farther away.
