>>5615656>SWWarin found torn up clothing in the South West area. Best if she starts investigating that first.
She’ll have to face a Lady of the Plantain tree. An easily jealous spirit that enjoys amassing a polyandry.
Warin treks through the forest with the brightly colored staff in her right hand, keeping her left hand free for a cross draw of the knife.
..
…
Some shadows move on their own. The sounds of leaves and animals becomes more suppressed as she walks deeper into the south west section. The blackened wooden handle feels lighter than usual ー even the witch doctor’s knife knows it will be a hard fight if she needs to defend herself.
Years of being a Krasue and her training in black magic has allowed her to see in the dark more clearly than a regular person. In her peripheral vision, she sees someone standing in the distance. A woman with long black hair and tinge of red makeup on her face. Her bright green shawl and breeches gives away her identity. Her eyes glare at Warin.
Being deeply connected to the supernatural world, Warin can spot the Lady of the Plantain tree quite easily. She turns to face her and bow to her ー an acknowledgement of her presence, and a gesture of moderate respect.
Warin doesn’t get on her knees and bow, as that would be a sign of absolute respect ー her status as a black magic user means she knows more than the average person, and should not give away respect easily.
The Lady looks at her and remains silent for now.
“Lady of the Plantain tree. I wish to ask for your aid. The people in this workshopー”
The tree spirit fades and reappears near Warin. After examining her, she says
〜yeah, you’re definitely not her. You’re way too old to be that woman. You know these people?〜
Arugh. I’m getting called old by someone whose probably.. a hundred year old or something, but has the body of some twenty year old. Not everyone is that lucky.〜Sucks to suck, player [of the dark arts]〜
This tree spirit can even read Warin’s mind. Good thing she still hasn’t thought about her status a Krasue. She still has a trick up her sleeves.
“I was summoned here by the.. investors of this workshop. They are merely my colleagues, and I already have someone else back in Clawflash. My only task here is to keep the workshop profitable.“
〜Have you spoken to them? Asked them about their actions?〜
“Yes. They told me that they were faithful.. men of yours and that they cleaned up the forest after every time they visited you. They don’t know the reason for why they are being cursed.”
uhh.. time to think about something that won’t make her kill me.. uh..… her nails looks nice. The glossy red color looks really cute. And also.. uh.. the banana perfume also smells nice… I would probably use it if I had unlimited money.〜…They’re bullshitting you.〜
