Naga laid all chain down amidst the battlefield not far from the church where the witches were currently fighting. The stinking hunter had caught her while burying one of her many children, and in the heat of both morning and battle the asshole won his victory. Forcing her to tell him where the witches hideout was though it wasn’t like she wouldn’t of given the information freely. Using a talisman he had forced her into her illusionary shape. No longer in her powerful naga form she was forced into the slender, bosom built human female shape that she hated.
“ Arrrr…. When I get my hands on you Nurse your going down!!!” She shouted, her anger getting the best of her though there was no one to hear her cried. Instead she writhed in the heavy chains and leather that magically bound her to the earth. She wiggled and writhed to no avail. Had this been any other sort of situation it just might have been kinky but this was far from that. No, this was making her ever more temperamental. Her golden eyes searched the darkness. Human blindness actually affecting her for once, she cursed it, this humanity given to her by the butterfly hair barrette in her curls. It was utterly horrible. She couldn’t even call her children like this at the moment. If she had a tail it would have been swishing angrily for this treason against herself by some loathsome human. God she was going to take him down.

Lycoris had been diligently following Claud's orders to remain in the tower...at least until she got bored of being stuck in the crummy building. The offered cove for flying around was just as boring, it was only fun if there were others around she could show off to. All those stinking witches thinking they were so great, ha, just give her a few right now and she'd take a limb from each in a second. She couldn't help but shiver a little as she thought of witches though, her mixed burning rage and dread of that one in particular flaring to the surface again. Damn that bastard and his mind games, she couldn't even enjoy thinking about killing some witches now.
At least she was getting some of her weight back, though the coven tower was no doubt going to miss all that food she had eaten in her boredom. She was still a little iffy on the being touched front but thankfully that seemed to only apply to witches and other stupid humanoids. She was at least happy with her new clothes, baggy black jeans and a rather bright red short sleeved top. Not much but then she only used this form to get around anyway.
When she heard the angry calls she decided that she might as well investigate, though to be honest the sight of the woman laying tied up really wasn't what she'd been hoping for. Apparently a stupid human had been left chained up here, no idea why she was probably attractive enough to be carted off if you were into the useless bipeds but whatever. She only finally approached so she could hopefully shut her up.
"And what the hell is going on here?" She asked pretty bluntly as she left the shadows, giving a look of not being overly impressed. She might not have the most intimidating human form by far but she didn't need to when she had her true form.

Naga’s head snapped suddenly to the side as some woman approached her. She sniffed the air, uselessly of course due to the fucking hair decoration.
“What does it look like! Some ass tied me up and now I’m stuck like this. Stupid being. I’m going to kill him when I’m out of this mess. Can you release me from these bonds? Please? “ She asked as she started to thrash about once more uselessly. She didn’t know how vulnerable humans were till she was forced into this god awful shape. No she preferred a form of scales and skin of green. Spikes to lash out with and a tail to keep balance. This.. This shape, was useless in so many ways. Eyes of gold looked over to the women once more. The only thing on her that seemed awfully unhuman like. A pair of glasses laid not far from her, square shape with thin rims of course the glass tainted a rosy hue to stand out against her green hair. She looked up at the women in a almost reptilian way.
“Do didn’t happen to see a guy dressed in leather pass by you as well? I sort of owe him a nice punch to the face.” She smirked deviously as she thought as well as a proper gutting…

Lycoris just gave a little shrug, but moved closer all the same kneeling down just a little ways from the woman. Far enough away that she should be out of thrashing range at least. She ran her eyes over her again, she seemed human enough, though the hair colour was a little eccentric and she'd splashed out for some expensive contacts. That look she was giving her was a little odd as well but whatever.
"Didn't happen to no, been a lot of tings running around here as of late. Fair few in leather too. Besides shouldn't you be more worried about yourself, little girls shouldn't play around outside when wars are happening." She cocked her head to one side, smiling again but not yet moving to release the woman.

Naga starred hard at the women at her insolent words. Did she know who she was talking to!!….. Well by the looks of it probably not. With a bit of a sigh the woman shook her head.
“ I can take care of myself. Just….. Well. Just undo the latch. Can you see it?” She asked as she rolled over on her side so she could see her wrists behind her back. She calmly wiggled a bit now. Whineing as she strained against her confines.
“ I’ll reward you greatly….. If you help me.” She chimmed sweetly trying to figure out how to get the girl wanting to help her.

Lyco' leaned forward a little, resting her hands on the ground as she took a good look at the restraints. Honestly this girl must be a human if she couldn't bust out of those. She had been about to undo them, wanting the stupid woman to shut up already until the offer of a reward came along.
"A reward huh? What kind of reward would we be talking?" She didn't care for the most part since she expected something worthless but it didn't hurt to check the offer before letting her go. Might be something nice for a change, though she wasn't holding her breath.

Naga smirked for a reward was always the way to another’s will or so she believed over the years of her life. People were selfish things and would bend to your will if you dangled something shiny enough before them.
“A favor per say. Of your choice. Anything you desire, be it in future protection….. Or aid. I’ll give it to you without question.” She told her as her eyes seemed to glitter dangerously. Like the mad hatter at a tea sampling, she grinned to the other being.
“ So… you going to let me go? Or are you going to continue on alone towards the little tea party up the road. “ She told her referring to the witches who were at war beneath the earth like rats fighting off a snake coming to devour them all.

Lycoris smiled just a little, letting the woman think she was actually interested in the offer. In truth she couldn't care less about the offer of aid from a human and the idea of her needed protection was laughable. Still she finally decided to release the clasp, now all to happy to forget about this little encounter and get on with her fun.
"This little girl doesn't care for tea parties. She'd much rather be having fun." Yes fun, as much as she disliked the witches involving them in her night was hardly a way to have a good time. Nope the sooner she put some paces between herself, this woman and those stupid airheads the better.

As soon as Naga was free she exploded from the chains with a graceful strength about her form. Her reptilian gold eyes seemed all to pleased as she removed the decoration from her hair. The cursed thing was suddenly held above her head. Thinking so long about smashing the vile thing upon the earth when she stopped….. No. This might be useful in the future she grinned as instead she placed the inactive relic in her pocket. Eyes all the more now able to see into the darkness now her illusion wasn’t full human she smirked.
“ I thank you, dragoness. I live by my word. Should you request something, it shall be done.” She spoke in a more calming matter. She moved over to pick up her rose tinted glasses. Looking over them she frowned a bit. The screw’s upon the side had become loose in the fight. She picked up her hand and with delicate precision let her nail grow long, and used it to tighten the thing. Once this was done, and they were fixed she let the nail slip back into it’s human nail bed with a pleased look upon her face.
“ That’s better.” She spoke before placing the glasses back upon her nose. She needed them to help her eyes during times of bright lights.

Lycoris blinked a little, standing up quickly and taking a step back. How did this stupid human know she was a dragon, well if she knew she probably wasn't a human but in that case why hadn't she noticed before. She was even more dumbfounded when the womans nail grew longer to work on the glasses.
"Okay...so what the hell are you? Going and acting like you actually needed help to get out of those bonds, honestly could you ahve wasted any more of my time?" She wasn't exactly the best at thinking through her anger, especially not with all that was left over from her recent experiences.

Naga sighed as she slowly drew out the butterfly hair ornament from her pocket and tossed it to the female.
“ Take a look at that. It seals away all night beast powers and forces you into your human illusion. Making you just as weak as one. I had no strength nor abilities to use my powers.” She told her matter of factly before she cracked her shoulders a bit. With a swirl of energy the female was suddenly cloaked in darkness that slowly took on the form of a cloak. Her height rising to one that would tower over even the tallest basketball player, only a green snout peeked out from the hood of her cloak with a horned tip.
“ I am of the Naga race my dear.” She smirked as her glowing gold eyes peeked over her glasses that balanced carefully upon her nose. She slid back the cloak’s hood to reveal her full draconic image.
“Even one as old as I am, can not overcome the curses of ancient relics such as that one.” She added as she held out her clawed hand to her. White nails gleaming in the moonlight, for this creature could both walk upon four or maneuver on two as she wished.

Lycoris caught the little pendant, turning it over in her hands. You know because they make powerful form sealing magic items to resemble hair pins. Sure, why not. She had been about to protest how stupid that had sounded before the woman started to change forms. She hadn't been expecting a naga, heck apart from another dragon that was the last thing she wanted it to be, at least they way she could have still shrugged her off as some useless mammal still. To make matters worse she was apparently an old one as well.
"Oh..." She started trying to think up some way to get out of the hole she had dug for herself. "I'm sorry, if I had known you were something worth saving I would have helped without question. It's not like humans are worth the time...normally..." She suddenly drifted off mid sentence being struck all of a sudden by a thought, the naga had just been tied up in front of her. She blushed a little, turning her gaze away slightly. It might not have mattered to her seeing a human like that but a naga on the other hand, they were close enough to dragons for her to care about.

Naga looked over the female before her wondering about that strange look upon her face before speaking once more.
“ No human is worth saving unless it’s something special. I have yet to see one that caused me to entertain such a notion. “ Naga told her as she lifted up her hood once more before a human spotted her. She moved her snake like head this way and that. Stupid hunter had caused her power to be severly weakened by that cursed thing.
“ I need a place to nest….. For my home is far off from here, and sadly I do not have human currency upon me.” She complained as a bit of smoke flitted from her nostrils. She shook herself a bit as if trying to dislodge random dust as her deep gaze returned to the woman once more. Awaiting her answer to her question.

Lycoris did her best to shove those thoughts to one side for the moment, happy that the naga seemed quite happy to forgive her view of humans. That was good, at least she wasn't one of those annoying preachy be nice to everyone types.
"Stupid mammals are normally only trouble." She reaffirmed her previous statement, sort of hoping it would release her from any blame on her course of action as well. At least she was in agreeable company for a change.
"Well, I was going to see if I still own my apartment, you're free to tag along and if I do, I'm sure I can put you up for the night." The naga hadn't exactly asked but it was clear what she was implying. Hopefully someone in her family had kept up payments on the place. She wouldn't be best pleased to find all her stuff had been lost as well. Another reason for her little escape this night was to check on it, not having had time between being shielded by Claud and being in no shape to take off on her own.

“ I surely will.” The naga smirked as she slowly returned to her human shape in a similar fashion. As the dragoness spoke Naga coughed a bit in a more female voice then the raspy tone of a female demon.
“ Hn… though they do make a nice meal.” She grinned as she was now human appearing once more. She let a forked tongue slide out between red painted lips for a moment before sliding it back in once more.
“ Not my choice of appearance, but one can not be picky when living in these times. I hate the rules inflicted upon the draconic races as of late. It’s a hideous mistreatment of the ancients. “ She complained as she placed her hand on her hip and waved for the girl to lead the way.

Lycoris grinned a little, happy she had aken up the offer. With any luck the apartment would be fine by some minor miracle and she could spend some time getting to know this naga. While she would have quite happily brushed her off as a human the fact that they were of similar race was more than enough to perk her interest in her.
"Good meals and good snacks, occasionally good target practice too." She agreed, turning on the spot to face back down the alley, taking a couple of steps before waiting for the naga to catch up.
"Oh how I yearn to be able to just fly around. The ground just isn't as comfortable as the open air. Alas the stupid mammals have the numbers advantage for the moment." Of course it had always been this way for her, but the naga didn't need to know quite how young she was . Thirty four years was but a passing blink to some.

“ That’s why I tend to keep to the lava fields of active volcanoes. The warmth and the fact the little worms don’t come crawling that close to my nest. Hn…. The open skies. If it wasn’t for the bastard hunter I would be up in them skies right now. Oh well, I’ll get back up there in a bit. If I had money on me I would offer to buy some food…. But I’m empty.” She grinned as she displayed this by turning out her pockets. Naga was never one to really … work…. Especially when she could just create more of her own race and let them do her bidding. Though they did take so painfully long to mature and even then… some did turn out quite stupid. Live and learn though, never use dodo eggs to make baby naga’s. It never turns out very well.

"But if you stay too far away you can't get you hands on some useful things." She pulled out a small wad of scrunched up notes form her pocket. "Don't know why they place so much value in this paper but it can get us something to eat. They don't seem to like serving up their own kind though which is a shame. We could probably get some raw meat from a store though." She wasn't sure what the naga preferred to eat but she had probably acquired enough money to get something to sate their appetites for the night.
"Mmm, I'd rather not have my flying privileges revoked again so it looks like we'll have to use these feet." The last way she wanted to end the night was in a coven cell, especially as she could now think of a good few better ways.

“ I never tend to stay around humans so I know how to live off the land.” She grumped as she turned her eyes to stare at the paper money. Hnn… useful things… she would have to think up a way to make some of this currency.
“ No…. but I know where we can get a decent plate of rats this time of night.” She grinned. Oh the old Cheshire Cat Pub, it never failed to sedate her appetite. She nodded her head over towards the southerly spot near the bay.
“ The bar’s not far from here… and it’s been awhile since I have been to Comrades place.” She told her. Hn…. This dragon did make rather nice company she thought pleasantly to herself.

Lycoris huffed a little at this,stopping and turning to the direction of the bar. "Huh, well I live off the land as well. Surprising what you can find laying around." She rustled the money quickly before pocketing it, knowing that she was going to need that later on if they were going to that bar.
"If you know that place then you can't tell me you haven't had to use money before, that Comrade is a right sneak when it comes to money. He'll rip you off given half a chance." She growled a little, not having enjoyed having to contest the price on practically everything with that rat. Sure were's were a step up from humans but they were still useless mammals for the most part. But if it was where she wanted to go it was where she wanted to go, Lyco' wasn't exactly about to refuse the opportunity.

“ You’ll be amazed how much you find on corpses these days.” Naga told her since if someone killed one of her children unjustly, her instinct was to regain revenge against that creature. For her children were her world.
“Follow me, I know right where it is.” She spoke as she walked down the streets with a bit of a huff. She hated this form so instead of staying human she shifted to her true self, being hidden by the cloak she snaked her way down the back alley ways.
“ Human forms are so useless.” She muttered as her white claw like hands could be seen beneath the sleeves and the shadows of the night. She felt so much more comfortable to sway her tail and allow it to display her grace as well as to help her keep balance as well as she moved.
(( Ooc: Next post the bar! ))
