She's likely descended from our daughter, and the daemon-blood was probably sealed at the same time house Elohim was demoted to a minor house.
We were unsealing it through the soulbond and that allowed her to use our souls, but she likely can't do that when not in the Berserker state.

So just don't try and make her magically angry and we shouldn't need to worry about it.

I'm sorry that I find people more interesting than mind-broken puppets.

Plus, I don't want to do that to one of our great-great-great etc. granddaughters.
If there is one thing Kimaris has shown a soft spot for, it's her children and, presumably, their descendants.

>>33166451
OP came back at the end of last thread for a few more updates, you should go catch up.

>>33166527
oh, will do then

The little girl rises off her bed and goes through her morning routine, taking you alongside her. You seem to have to do everything with her. She even takes the time to shine you while she herself is bathing. Even when you protest that you can simply burn away any impurities by simply slightly heating yourself up. She is too stubborn to see reason however.

While she is in the middle of getting dressed for the day you propose to go out of the city for a bit...

"To get some fresh air. You've been stuck in here for far too long, dear." you say in a concerned tone.

"Well... You may be right... But I don't know if Farah will allow it..." she says, "You know... After what happened..."

"Shush, let's not bring that up now shall we? I'm sure she will understand."

"Well... Alright..." she agrees, though she still seems uncertain.

After Eleha completes the rest of her routine and has breakfast she discusses your proposal with her faithful guard, who has been sticking to her ever since she left her room. The servant seems adamant about her staying here to stay safe at first, but after seeing the girl unleash her 'ultimate weapon' she reluctantly agrees that perhaps it was time she could see a bit of the wider world.

She did ask where would she like to go...

>Let Farah decide
>The Capital. Think of all the things you can see! Maybe even the Flame Godess herself will show up!?
>The city of Ashan, a tournament will be held in it's famous arena.
>The city of Azhai, perhaps you can see it's legendary blacksmiths at work?

>>33166610

"Ooh, how about visiting those shrines you've been taught about? You could learn a few things." you suggest.

"I'd like to visit the shrines." the noble says without bating an eye

"Hmm... Very well... Though Esherah help me we'll have to prepare quite well in case anything happens while we are traveling. Though why do you wish to visit the shrines if I may ask?"

The girl remains quiet for several moments. Shit, she doesn't have an excuse. Think something up, quick!

>Want to start a pilgrimage

>>33167030
Implying we weren't before?

You relay the suggestion and she simply repeats your words.

"I want to start my pilgrimage" she says almost mechanically. 'Wait, what!?'

Farah's eyes widen at that and she looks at the princess with a different air now. "Very well, my lady." The guard says in a grave tone. She does a curtsy and walks out of the room with a swift pace. Once Farah leaves the room the red haired girl starts panicking. She runs around and flails her arms, screaming in horror internally.

"Why is this so serious all of a sudden?" you ask.

'Kimaris, I don't think you understand what that means for an Ateshi noblewoman!' while she says speaking rather fast. "Oh Esherah what have I done!?"

"Oh? Please enlighten me, dear. What does a pilgrimage mean for you?" you counter trying to make her calm down.

It seems to succeed as the girl stops running around the room. Her face settles into a thoughtful expression.

'I... Don't know actually.. Just that it's something reaaaallllyyyy important. They say I'll find out when I'm older or when I choose to go through with it..."

Hmm... What should you do? You are rather uninformed in the current situation. Perhaps following the guard will shed light on this subject?

>Convince Eleha to sneak after Farah
>Nah, this is probably nothing too important

Eleha is kind of dumb, isn't she?

>>33167213
>Convince Eleha to sneak after Farah

Farah won't do anything bad even if she's caught.

>>33167336
She's almost 12 and kind of really sheltered noble girl with not a lot of real responsibility.

>>33167367
Even so, repeating words without considering them is too much.

>>33167439
>We could have picked different but no /tg/ needed the little girl
I'm not mad about it. It's cute. And she's probably related to us, which makes her the best.

>>33167439
We could have, but the way this has been going, it's quite advantageous. We're getting a custom wielder, rather than a pre-statted one.

>>33167367
Still with us?

>>33167833
Yeah, sorry. So... Has anyone really won? Votes not rally clear to me.

>>33167833
There's a three-way tie. Someone should break it.

>>33167213
>>Convince Eleha to sneak after Farah

"We should sneak after your guard." you say in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Wha-? No! I couldn't do that!" the girl protests.

"But you are curious about this 'pilgrimage are you not?" Eleha whines simply at that. "Don't you want to find out what it this is all actually about?"

"...Oh fine! I'll try to follow Farah and find out what she knows!" the princess than storms off, after picking you up and throwing you on her person in the new scabbard across her back.

On her way through the halls she passed several servants. YOu used the chance to parse out any information from their surface thoughts. They all seemed very impressed at the 'young mistress' going for the pilgrimage at such a young age.Nothing about the pilgrimage itself though.

She managed to catch up to Farah and followed her discreetly through the halls. To be honest she was not very stealthy and Farah seemed to nearly catch wind of what she was doing. Eleha seemed to have luckd out though as Farah reached the training yard and asked a few fellow guards to speak with her. Eleha was hidden behind one of the doorways, they didn't seem to have many actual doors in the doorways, and peaking her head out while listening to what they were saying while not getting caught.

I won't. But this one requires it.

"What is it Farah?" one of the guards asks.

"Yeah, you yourself keep telling us how we can't slack in our training." another adds.

Now that you get a good look at them, by using the surface of your pommel, all of the guards that Farah is speaking to seem to be older than most of the lot. Probably been working here for as long as Farah and just as loyal.

Farah grins, seemingly radiating pride. "The young mistress has chosen to begin pilgrimage!" She says full of enthusiasm. The other guards seemingly gasp at this, asking all sorts of questions in incredulous tones. Seems that her asking for it at such a young age is truly noteworthy? Okay now you definitely have to know what's going on.

But as fate seems to will it, they do not talk about anything specific in regards to the pilgrimage itself. Eleha has to soon retreat as the guards start dispersing after the oldest one, the one who tried to pick you up in the beginning for your stay here, starts ordering them to prepare for the journey. Seems like you will be leaving the day after tomorrow. Eleha manages to scramble away from any guards coming her way and avoids getting detected until she is at a distance where she is safe from any suspicion.

Farah seems to smile knowingly when she sees the young lade slightly out of breath. She whispers "You need to work on those sneaking skills my lady." into Eleha's ear while passing bye, causing her to yelp and turn red from the embarrassment.

She seems to have fooled the other guards though...

1/2

>>33168618
I guess turning into a half-ifrit wouldn't help sneaking?

It is the day after tomorrow and Eleha, alongside a retinue of guards, leaves the city on camel back prepared for the harsh trials of the desert.

Your current destination is the Temple of Esherah located in the capital. The pilgrimage will begin from there.

You do have to decide your travel plan however.

>Travel straight to the capital. Has it's risks if the weather turns sour or you are raided by bandits.

It's best that they know that their rulers have not forgotten them. Plus, it gives us a chance to see more of the world.

Alternatively, we could go with the caravan and establish some contacts with them. Might be good for a practical application of those people-skills.

Plus, getting attacked by bandits might be good. Work on those combat skills, and grab some essence.

>>33168836
>Travel straight to the capital. Has it's risks if the weather turns sour or you are raided by bandits.
foood

>>33168836
>travel straight to the capital
She'll be fine. She's 12.

>>33168828
Ifrit stealth involves blinding your enemies with fire. It's very effective.

>Make a few stops in a few out of the way villages. Will take longer and there is a chance of someone informing others of Eleha's party.It'll also take more time.

Nothing wrong with people knowing about our party, this is an act Eleha should be proud of. Just means more assassins to kill.

>>33168836
>>Join a caravan going to the capital. Might be an attractive target to bigger bandit groups. Might take a while to get there.

This will give us time to prepare and study for what is expected of our wielder during her pilgrimage. Also if bandits attack, that'll be a lot of souls for us unless the dice decide to take a dump on us which they probably will anyway.

>>33168924

Your group leaves through one of the main gates of the city. After exiting the oasis that the city is based in you enter the greater sandsea...

Your journey begins at a steady pace. You ride during the day, the people garbed in clothes that keep the heat out. While during the night the group rests huddled up and trying to preserve heat in any way they can. The weather seems to be pretty calm and no sudden sandstorms plague you in your travel. It seems nothing interesting will happen until...

Let's give him another hour. Just to see what his excuse is.

Page 9 Spite bump.

So Kimaris has a rather distinct "lava veins and charred skin" look. Think we can spin that into something that passes for normal?

Wisps of flames that look like folds of cloth and frills? A corona that looks elegant to offset the creepiness? Claws that look vaguely like manicures?

>>33180761
I think you mean Eleha, Kimaris is currently a sword.
I don't know if we'll be able to do anything like that though, the whole charred skin/fire veins thing is part of her daemon-blood showing.
We can always try, of course, but I honestly think that if we try to do that then we would be better off figuring out how to suppress the visual effects before working on making it look better.

>>33180811
I meant Kimaris' Ifrit form thing. it gave the same look to necromancer guy, right?

>>33180827
We could ask OP if we're able to change the look of the Ifrit form, but the current appearance fits Kimaris' personality pretty well.
We aren't a terribly subtle daemon.

>>33180863
We don't have to be subtle, just less deamonic.

What about a lava-rock "armor"? Just make the original changes a bit thicker and add spikes/plates everywhere.

Just a reminder that she apparently drew on our essence without our aid when she turned Ifrit, something which we were pretty freaked out about.
Then again, we've never done a soul-bond before.

>>33180887
>Most powerful fire daemon in existence
>Less daemonic
Pick one.
The skin would probably get thicker and look a little like solidified lava or obsidian of some kind once we get to higher levels of the Ifrit form.
We can't just add new things to the Ifrit form for no cost, and (hopefully small and facing backwards, rather than jutting out uselessly) spikes would likely be an addition that will happen naturally as the ability evolves or cost a moderate amount of souls to add.

>>33181052
We unchained her soul, she used her daemon-blood to use the essence which we gathered, it's not that hard to figure out.

Actually OP has a pastebin with some info for us: http://pastebin.com/gJBs0Ufp

But he wrote that up before he actually got his head together and starting fleshing out a skill tree/making some plot notes. So make of it what you will.
