Altius looks at De for a moment, though a bit caught off upon hearing him about forming a pact with the girl. Understandably, by his presence alone but weary of the possible consequences, he needed time...or more specifically, Rei to decide.

"...if it is possible, I'll leave the decision to her." He said to De, only until receiving a call to take care of the other patients. "In the meantime, I'll leave you two alone and check up within an hour."

"Mh." Dé thought a bit to himself, squinting his eyes as it sounded at the least like something in his power or capabilities, if not completely get rid of it, he might be able to hold the blood-lust back or weaken it to some extent. Then again there was also the risk of something going wrong and their pact only driving her blood further.

"Of course. I need her consent and agreement for such things anyways." He replied, before waving the good doctor off, turning back to Rei in the mean while. "If you're up for it, i can set us up with some sort of temporary connection to start off it. Not everyone is a good match after all."

"A temporary connection?" Rei thought for a moment, looking to the side. Thinking about it now, as far as it is a rational offer to temporarily resist her blood lust, she wasn't brash about it. Despite it, she was aware of her condition that intervened her main objective to hunt down her adversaries. Staring at the azure blood pack connected to her arm, she needed this and knowing how long the duration would last until the limit reached its peak.

"...I'm willing to take an offer cautiously, but...are you willing to take the risk?"

Shura Breaks the Multiverse - Rp Starter

Shura Amakuni, age fourteen…daughter of Chireru Amakuni and Eva Shinto, utilizes her aerokinetic powers to hop the roof tops of the city of New Kyushu, spying her parents activities. On one rooftop, she saw her mother Eva, playing the mindful sheriff to keep the peace between humans and demons. With a set of roof tops hopped over and passed by, she watches her father buying spare parts to tinker with gadgets. Yawning and stretching…she makes her way home. Shura made it home long before her parents, and snuck into the basement of the their home. She rushes over to the bookshelf to ogle over a set of books brought here by her father from his birth home, until she came upon the one book that enthralled her…Necronomicon Ex Mortis. This ancient tome has passed through the hands of many scholars (many of them which met grime fates), until the last descendants of the Amakuni kept it for safe keeping over a hundred years. She opens the blood-inked opens of the worn grimoire, her study into Sumerian language payed off, able to read the grim passages and incantations the book had to offer. She flipped through each page until she came upon the one page that always captivated her imagination…a passage that allows for the communion of worlds.

She rips the page out, bits her thumb to allow blood to red upon the lone page and read the inscription as it read. Shura chanted the incantation for a straight fifteen minutes…and, much to her frustration, the only thing that happened was that the page burns up. Groaning as she sat for minutes on end with no real results, she impatiently calls it a night and goes to sleep…

…

Shura awoken to screams outside, getting herself out of bed to attempt to see what the source was, but the moment she stepped outside, both of her parents stood and watched…above everyone there was a crack in the sky. Citizens were accustomed to the supernatural plaguing their streets at this point, but even an event like this was enough to cause panic and outroar. Chireru grits his teeth. “What…what the hell could have caused this? This is abnormal, even by this city’s standards. We have to do something!” Eva simply runs ahead, the arrogance built upon her feats of regeneration prompted her to action…Shura felt nothing but guilt, Somehow, someway, she knew this was her fault, for attempting a ritual within a cursed artifact.

While chaos continues to ensue, more assistance makes its presence known in the form of people from the unknown. Consisted of soldiers and agents, all don an insignia of a flaming gladiolus flower and a fractured moon, signifying they all come from an all different organization. Despite their appearance, they arrived in assistance in getting the people to safety along rescuing any of the wounded and taking out the Yokai with specialized gear. While they do their duty, one particular individual strayed away from the soldiers and agents, a tall youthful male with low spiky shoulder length hair with a few crimson streaks, donning in white, blue and black. Seemingly, in a search for someone, he made the fortunate timing of encountering a fight ensuing. It was Eva taking on the demon. Most obvious, despite one she is facing, he can sense demonic energy coming from her, but judging from her position, she seems to try avoiding using this energy.

Unable to avoid watching someone taking on a threat alone, the youth cloaks his hand in an azure spiritual glow. Not wasting any time, he leaps out of the shadows, striking the demon from behind via strike of his aura-cloaked palm straight to one of its weak points.

As the fight ensues, the raven-haired lady made short work of the yokai despite the abrupt hold from Shura. Immediately aware of her current state, but sensing more Yokai incoming, questions will be saved for later. What matters most is getting to safety. She kicks open her large casket case, revealing a dark void within. Though it is questionable but it is a way to move one way to another area. She turned to Shura along, gesturing her to enter the case. “Questions will be asked later. We need to get to the safe area. As for the scripture, keep it tightly to you. Falling it into the wrong hands spells doom.”

More and more yokai continue to rise. Thus, many more ended up slain by the unknown force as the Super Soldiers tried to process who this individual in question. Stood before them was none other, but the hooded female as a strong gust of wind brushed off her hood. Hidden under revealed her long silver white hair with indigo and black streaks added with a pair of ears of a rabbit and horns of a dragon, given the fact that she has a dragonic tail and feet when she’s not moving so quickly. Though the yokai were furious and scared of the girl’s presence, amongst them was the Enenra, who is the most enraged approach her, spouting at her despite her cold expression.

“YOU! YOU KILLED MY BRETHREN! ONCE I RID YOU OF YOUR LIFE, I-!!!”

Before more could be said, the girl was nowhere to be seen, only to reappear in the air, bathed in the moon’s lunar light. Not wasting time, she dashed down, plunging the smoke demon with her blade cloaked in frost, freezing the yokai before it had a chance to escape. For extra measure, not only did she plunge her blade to the demon, but she used what seemed to be an inhuman but dragonic claw in place of her left hand to add further damage with its sharp claws deep into its weak point. In spite of it, she appeared unaffected nor given a reaction, coldly uttering,

“Just die already…”

Eva was completely on the defensive, parrying every attack the demon threw at her. She was thus far fortunate, for they were fighting in her element…face-to-face, fist-to-fist. The demon was losing patience trying to wear her down himself, so with a snap of a finger, the demons he subverted to his service rose, attacking Eva with sheer numbers. The demon watched as its subverts began to back the Hanyou into a corner. He pulled out what looked like a page torn from a book. “Yes…any minute now, you’ll give in, little beast.” In a matter of seconds, the demonic entity staggers from an unseen blow, caught entirely unaware. All the demons under its sway become cognitive and aware once more, ceasing attacks on Eva. Holding a rather blank expression, the imp demons eyed her with recognition. “Sherif? What? How?” With a sigh of relief, she pointed at the cause of their oppression. “That demon can manipulate and enslave other demons, we all…me included, need to be wary of him.” Eva now turned to the one who struck him and caught him off guard, “Thanks, stranger? Want to help wreck this guy? With me and a battalion of demons we can’t lose now!” The entity was far from diswayed, “YOU DARE CHALLENGE A VANGUARD OF THE ELDRITCH?!?” Shura looks up as the reality tear above them slowly begun to unravel more, and then into the dark void created by the raven-haired lady’s casket. “Wait…wait. What about my parents? And my town? Not all the demon’s loose are bad, and my mom and I are the only ones who can rally the not so bad ones.” Of course, as a youth, she was quick to question, despite the gravity of the situation. Chireru and Lucia were within distance of the slaying of Enenra at the hands of the white haired woman. Unlike Lucia, Chireru’s eyes could keep track of her movements, due to his greater power and combat experience. As he witnesses the demonic being being frozen and ultimately crushed, Chu observes a few very particular elements of her persona and mutters to himself, “Dragon traits…and a sword. Elemental powers aside…we’re exceedingly similar.”

“Fledgling, as far you are concerned but do not fret. Your questions will be answered shortly. Just stay close to me.” The raven lady said to Shura, entering the casket first. Despite the dark void, there lies a pathway to another part of New Kyushu. By luck, this area is where Chireru and Lucia are located, witnessing the slaying of the Enenra at the hands of the girl in blue.

“…just in time.” The woman speaks in relief, seeing a bunch of soldiers watching in awe of the smoke yokai killed by the girl. Not long before, more of dark yokai began to make their presence known, surrounding her, which she didn’t react much upon being used to take large numbers. However, she is not alone, and she is never alone as a spectral dragon can be shown partially, wrapped around her in a protective stance.

“Apologies, but I was in the middle looking for a friend, and seeing a lady being cornered by you is something I can not avoid.” The man spoke, flicking his wrist to rid any remnants left behind from the impact. Glancing over at Eva and the people formerly under the creature’s influence, he had a feeling there’s a lot more despite being new to the unknown world. One thing for sure, this demon he struck needed to be dealt with immediately. “Judging by this, I would not mind taking out a threat like this.”

The demon looked from the male, to Eva and the imps and couldn’t help but snicker. Steam hissed from the stab wound and swiftly regenerated. Eva stares, “So…you can use your demonic energy to heal like I do? How troublesome.” The entity cackles and retorts, “So much more than that, m'dear. You see, I don’t just manipulate demonic energy in other demons and like creatures I add their power to my own supply without even needing to drain that demon’s power…” It began to channel the combined power of the Imps’ energy he made his own and bulked up, doubling in size, the muscles on his arms and legs exposing purple veins filled with demon power. “…Like so.” The Imps cowered at the demon’s newly imposing form, and fled. They weren’t a species known for their courage but for self-preservation. Eva casually watches them scurry with a huff. The empowered snidely adds, “Please, don’t be too harsh on them. Just be thankful they aren’t mine to command anymore. Especially since once I add the powers of demons I commanded to my own, I can’t manipulate the demon energy in others anymore until I burn off the excess power.” Eva was puzzled by the confession, and why he was holding a torn piece of paper, but impatience gotten the best of her. “Oh? Well, if you can’t take my power anymore, there’s no need to hold back anymore!!” The hanyou female was suddenly engulfed in a torrent of pinkish purple demonic energy. The shockwave of her released energy shattered all the glass of nearby windows…and yet the Eldritch Demon was not only unfazed, but it was as if it was waiting for Eva to unleash her demon powers. Raising the page in hand, he begun an incantation that only a trained ear would recognize as Ancient Sumerian. An inscription appeared on the blank page, and begun drawing and sealing Eva’s demon powers… Shura watches everything going on from the other end of the void the raven haired woman opened…sure enough, her father was there, as well Lucia and the blue haired woman slaying a smoke yokai. She gasps, and looks to the woman, saying “Thank you!” And with that, she jumps in, much to Chireru and Lucia’s surprise. “Wait, Shura?!? How’d you get here?” The young teen looks towards the raven haired woman. “She saved me!” From a considerable distance a torrential storm of pink-purple demon energy can be seen reaching into the sky. Chireru sighed, “So…there’s clearly enemies here that are such a threat Eva’d resorted to let her out? That means we need to remain vigilant.” Shura suddenly shudders and fell to her knees. She was shaking, and breathing heavy. “The Necronomicon…it’s become heavier!” The revelation of the book in her daughter’s possession caused him to lose composure. “The…Nercro-no. Nononono. Shura, please tell me you didn’t remove that from the family bestiary?!?” She could only look up apologetically. Chireru shook off all thoughts of anger, in this current situation it was wasted energy. “The game’s changed then. Everyone here, please…the name of the game here is to protect Shura, with our lives if need be.” He could only pray more of their allies would come to help.

Before she could say anything, the Umbra Raven sensed traces of forbidden magic that was cast upon. To add, she sensed one's aura (Eva's) beginning to seal, fallen to a trap. However, one way to severe the spell is to use the sight... a special type. Silent, she glanced at the frigid slayer of the smoke demon, giving the gesture of forbidden magic and needed to be dealt with immediately. With no response but aware of what the raven lady means, the slayer vanished within a blink of an eye.

"Now that one's problem is covered. Also, reinforcements are making their way." The lady in black said, adjusting her glasses, looking at Chireru for a moment. Seeing him shakened in anger, there's a lot to unravel. Not only that, there were concerns about the girl who left shortly. As such, she thought of something immediately, going on to say to the father of Shura. "I suggest you catch up with the young fledgling. Staying here will bring more trouble. I sensed forbidden magic afar and an individual's aura becoming feint little by little. I'll stay behind and watch over your daughter."

"It's...something required...since that incident long ago." She replied, glancing over at the drip for a few before turning her head to the side, her sight turned over at Altius. He noticed, being a sign of him to give further explanation along trying not to bring up further details involving some events she experienced, which he complied without question.

"Well you see, Rei suffers from severe blood loss back then and she is required to take daily blood transfusions as a way to prevent her to go into bloodlust frenzy. This blood right here is a primary requirement for her to take due to her mixed heritage, in which no other kind except her relatives have." The male raven then points at the blood pack, looking at the azure coloration, being a whole different kind belonging to one kind alone. "We only have one and only source via connections since we want to ensure her condition is stable."

peopleoftheshadows

"An incident?" Dé asked, his eyes darting between the two, as he wasn't sure which one would inform him further on this. Leaning back though, once he knew that Atius would be the one to talk, he'd just listen in.

He would end up tilting his head though, pondering about something. "So, in a way, if she were to make a pact with me, i might in one way or form be able to subdue that bloodlust within her with my magical properties and abilities. I am after all just a walking, talking magical blades. With the blades being my proper and true form." Though he hadn't had a 'master' or an owner for quite some time, he wondered if she'd actually even be up for it.

Altius looks at De for a moment, though a bit caught off upon hearing him about forming a pact with the girl. Understandably, by his presence alone but weary of the possible consequences, he needed time...or more specifically, Rei to decide.

"...if it is possible, I'll leave the decision to her." He said to De, only until receiving a call to take care of the other patients. "In the meantime, I'll leave you two alone and check up within an hour."

"......" Rei looks at De in silence before glancing over at Altius, waiting for him. It didn't take long for the youthful man to finish preparations as he brought out an iv pack containing blue liquid. To many, it appeared to be medicine exclusively for Rei, but in actuality, it was something different, most likely blood by scent alone.

Seeing this along picking up the scent coming from it, the young woman reacted no different, but deep down, she needed it as her bloodlust was overwhelming her. As such, she lays down on the bed with her arm ready. Altius observed as he massaged her arm, where the vein was located before sterilizing it with medical gel. Once done, he goes on to inject the iv needle into her arm, much to her reacting with her fanged teeth gritting momentarily.

"Yes, I know, you hate needles, but bear with it as always, okay?" Altius said, noticing Rei's reaction after putting the needle in her arm while securing the iv connection. "Alright, just need to wait here until the blood pack is empty. May take a while."

peopleoftheshadows

Upon noticing his gaze being met, he for sure moved it aside, not wanting to seem too keen or give off any weird ideas, turning over to Altius as well. 'The man sure acts quick.' He thought to himself, but as the scent of blood trailed into his nose, his eyes brightened slightly. "Huh, so that's the case." He grinned a little.

Looking over as the drip was placed onto her, he turned himself around fully, facing Rei, now while eyeing the Iv a little. "Do you need the blood for specific reasons or for the reason of what you are as well?"

"It's...something required...since that incident long ago." She replied, glancing over at the drip for a few before turning her head to the side, her sight turned over at Altius. He noticed, being a sign of him to give further explanation along trying not to bring up further details involving some events she experienced, which he complied without question.

"Well you see, Rei suffers from severe blood loss back then and she is required to take daily blood transfusions as a way to prevent her to go into bloodlust frenzy.
