'How strange to for an extra to have such a strange aura...' The figure noted to herself; '0.001% calculated threat chance...Not worth my time' She mentally filed away; "I define the initiation as when you became one of us...That is all I needed; I suggest you are careful in the future as to whom you disbelieve...There are those less calm than myself" She said, moving off towards the supply shop. Nepthys and the instructors breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the shop, the clerk effeciently and carefully packed a full backpack of meats, breads and other essentials into a large rucksack for Nowe; "This should be enough for about 2 weeks on the road; and it'll definately keep for that time at least" He said, handing the pack to him, along with a medium-sized bundle; "This is for today" He smiled; "It's enough for two meals to save you using your travelling rations until tomorrow"

Nya rolled her eyes as the figure walked off, lifting up her claymore and launching into a nearby wall, before striding up and laying down on it. She glanced at Nepthys and frowned "So who are you meant to be, and who's the stuck up" she nodded towards the supplies shop, wishing she didn't have to put up with such people. 'Less calm than you, but I bet they don't come close to them' she thought quietly to herself, a small shiver running down her right arm at the thought

Nepthys blinked at the question, the looked to Nya; "I am a high-administrator; one of the direct links to the hierachs...And that was somebody you are lucky to have pissed off and lived..." He said, the superior arrogence returning to his voice.
Inside the shop, Selene, grabbed the three packs and thanked the clerk; "Come along Nowe..." She said, dilberately patronising him and turning to the door, a slight smile on her face

Nowe's face lit up at the sight of the food. "Ahh yes... Wonderful wonderful supplies... brings back the memories..." Nowe froze and shook his head, he started rambling onto himself, muttering things like 'No, i can't remember.' 'Claymores are bad,' and 'It all their fault.'
He glared at Selene alittle before leaving the shop.

'That should make for some later conversation...' Selene noted as Nowe started rambling. She continued ouside, then froze when she saw the figure in black robes about to enter the shop; 'Fuck! What the hell is she doing here?' She wondered frantically as the figure passed; "Selene." The figure inclined its head slightly in passing as it made the greeting. Selene nodded back, not using the name, as she had been instructed not to, ever since that day that she refused to think about.
As the figure moved into the shop and off the street, Selene motioned to Kaela, who came rushing over, and handed her one of the packs she was holding. "Here, catch!" Selene said to Nya, gently tossing the second pack to her whilst slinging the other over her shoulder; "Lets head out then..." She said, turning to the road.

Nya looked up and watched the pack fall into her outstretched hand. Slowly she slid herself off her sword and plucked it from the wall, sheathing it in the same move and striding over to the group, pausing to catch a last glimpse of the figure before the door closed. "One day You will give me your name ..." she whispered under her breath, her words snatched by the breeze. She looked over her shoulder at the high administrator whose name he had not revealed and gave him one of the most deadly glares she knew, conveying her obvious intent 'As are you' she thought in reference to his comment on the figure. She snatched a handful of dirt from the ground and set off towards the edge of town, not bothering to look back again.

----------
The group of four arrived at the town of Rakutha after three days on the road. Arriving mid-morning on the fourth day, the town stood out on the plains as a small, dusty little place, with the sandstone, rectangular houses lined up rather pitifully on the horizon; where the town was little more than a speck.
The road into town from here was short, and the group soon reached the centre square of the place, to many cries of awe at the presence of not one but three claymores. Selene sighed and turned to the nearest human; "I wish to see the one who made the request..." she said firmly, and the human scurried away to find the village elder

Nowe groaned as he looked in the backpack that was full of food not long ago. Now it consisted of a couple of browning apple cores and a squashed banana. "Man I'm hungry. Anyone fancy letting me have some of there food?" She asked looking at the other two claymores, his back faced to Selene, who he chose not to ask. He'd heard enough about the single digits not long ago and decided not to discover their wrath or strength.

Selene sighed at and grimaced slightly as she heard Nowe asking for food behind her; "You've eaten two weeks of food in three days?" she muttered back to him, irritated, then focused her attention back front as the village elder, an old man, dressed in simple robes, strode out to meet them: "Welcome, Welcome!" he beamed, presenting a bulging pack to Selene, who shook her head; "You do not pay us; someone in black will come by to collect the money later; give it to them then...Now you said in the request that you had four Yoma here?" The Elder nodded; "But another four have come since then..." he left it hanging "We'll deal with them as well, just do me a favour and give that idiot boy behind me some food for the road when this is over..." The elder nodded to her thankfully. Selene looked around the square before speaking again; "Nya, Kaela, spread out and kill the Yoma over in the outskirts; there are two in the left, and two in the right areas; I'll take the other four"
Behind her Kaela looked at Nowe with compassion, and handed him a large piece of meat and a hunk of bread; "Try not to eat all the rations next time, you'll only piss Selene off" she said gently before turning to Nya; "Which side do you want?"

Nowe smiled, "Sure thing," he said, taking the food and scurrying over to the village elder. He started to eat some the food he'd been given, "so have issues with Yoma alot?" he asked the elderly man through a mouthful of food. He watched as Selene ran off and the other two discused which way to go, wondering if this was his opertunity to leave the group of claymores and go back to doing what he did best; pillaging.

Nya trickled the last specks of dirt from her hand, watching the wind carry them to the left before striding back outside the town. "Doesn't matter, just don't get in my way" she murmured as she left, drawing her claymore and burying it in a wall before turning the corner and throwing up a dust cloud as she sprinted towards the two demons on the right.
'As if I need telling where they are' she thought quietly as the yoma came into sight 'now die!'

The Elder looked down and smiled at Nowe; "We've had problems in the past, not often, but a couple of times; never this many though; the most we've ever had were two at once, but this...8 of the monsters..." he looked scared, yet relieved at the same time now that the Claymores were here.
Selene leapt across the square and straight into one of the houses, where a two of the Yoma were currently tearing up the place; "Wha..." they hissed as they saw her, before being sliced into neat halves before they could even finish their sentence; "Two down...This is pathetic, why send three of us for these weaklings..." she muttered under her breath, then headed out to where the other two Yoma would be; the backstreets of the town near her position.
Kaela watched for a moment as Nya set off 'That's wierd not using your Claymore...' she mused as she headed left, sensing out the Yoma, her Claymore drawn. She found them in the street picking at a corpse, they saw her and charged.

"Woah 8? What's alot... but you should count yourself lucky my friend." He said with quite a strong pat on the back, "I once followed around a group of hundreds. Be glad you don't have those on your doorstep...." He stopped and looked around, "Or do you?"

The Elder winced slightly as Nowe patted him on the back; "Hundreds you say, my boy?! Why would you take such a risk?!" he asked with a shocked expression "And I should certainly hope we don't have that many on our doorstep..." he said rather nervously
Elsewhere, Selene had cornered the remaining two Yoma in the alleyway and dispatched them with contempt, and headed back to the town square at a walk.
Kaela brought her Claymore up and held it out like a spear which gutted the first of the charging Yoma. The second swiped its claws across her back, drawing a large gash and a gush of blood. She gasped in pain, then turned just in time to block its next attack, before rolling aside, despite the pain, gritting her teeth and decapitating it with a two-handed strike. She knelt down in the street and began to concentrate on healing the wound on her back 'Damn Yoma...gotta work on that attack; it leaves a little too much room for error...' she muttered to herself as she healed up

"Get her!" they yelled as continued to run towards them at breakneck speed.
'Pathetic' she mused to herself as her blood started to run hot with blood lust, her ears elongating to the length of those she approached, as did her nails, becoming ferocious claws. Planting her feet in the ground she skidded to a halt in a dust storm, which cleared to reveal her gutted prey on the ends of her talons.
"Demon!" the remaining yoma cried as he made to escape, before being pinned by the hurled corpse of his dead comrade. Nya stalked forward, her skin turning a deathly white and her arms becoming layered in thick plates. She stood over the helpless yoma and grinned, poised to kill him with a single swipe of her talons, she knelt closer.
"Who leads you miserable beings?" she intoned, her voice deep and demonic and demanding an answer without fail.
