Intruder

She returned to her store/house with no real issue. The boss left once they entered the store 'fulfilling' the request of his father though she told him it was completely unneeded. Before he left, she requests for him, she requested him to harvest the ore in the location that she learned from the information guild Vemonlight. He had no complaints when she told him he'd be allowed to make a few weapons with some of the ore he gathers. They made a 60 – 40 deal, she owns the land they mine it. She was fairly content with the end results and was going to officially purchase the land the following morning, though there was no real rush as only herself the boss and vemonlight know about this location currently.

After all that as night begun to fall Nadia new her work for the day was not entirely done however rest was important so Nadia and Akiko went to one of the rooms and begun to rest before the sun fully set. That following night Nadia was resting with Akiko who was in full beast form covering her with his tails. But while the two where resting an intruder had arrived and worked on one of the windows eventually forcing it open. The magic barrier that Nadia had set up prior was of course still working as such it woke Nadia up informing her of the 'sudden' intrusion.

"'Master?'"

'I wanna see their skills in person that's all.'

With that the two pretended to be asleep as the intruder roamed around the house looking through drawers and the like looking for valuables only to find there was no. There was nothing of worth in this house. However, the intruder remembered the necklace they saw Nadia warring while walking through the slums. To make sure they didn't do this for nothing they had to be direct and steal it right from her completely unaware at this moment Nadia was awake and waring it.

They turned towards the room they were avoiding since they knew people were inside it. The reached forward grabbing hold of the doorknob the slowly opened the door trying to make sure the door that clearly was fairly old didn't make a noise and wake their targets. However, when they looked into the room, they could help but flinch back and stumble at the sight of Akiko's large form, but they quickly regained their composer.

They made their way over to Nadia and was reaching up to try and swipe the necklace. However, a blade from seemingly out of nowhere was placed upon their neck. "I wouldn't do that." Nadia purred opening her eyes locking her 2 coloured eyes with the intruder's.

They jumped back surprised as Nadia stood up Akiko flicked their tails. "You did pretty well get here. Almost missed you actually coming into the house. A few more years of training and you might be able to slip past me like one such as you ota to be."

"W-who are you."

"That's not really all THAT important at the moment. But you really shouldn't show when you're afraid like that Ciara Byrd. I saw you scoping me out earlier though I didn't expect for you to come here tonight. It was very fast. I'm a little surprised but no matter I have use for you and your family.

"How do you know who I am? NO ONE should know who I am."

"Mmmm… a trade secret I'm afraid."

"We'll since you've seen me either way, I cannot allow you to see the light of tomorrow.

"So soon? I wanted to try and talk a little while longer."

Nadia paused as she brought her blade us. "No matter I guess no reason to put it off. I must prove myself after all I if wish for them to appear." She paused. "Though I must say it's quite annoying that I must pass such a good chance of death for my little side job that I took up. Not matter even then I wouldn't just roll over and die even if deaths my one true wise. The trill of fighting against is truly invigorating."

"I don't know what you are talking about but if you wish to die, I have no problem bring forth such a wish."

"Hahahaha! I don't think you quite kid." Nadia chuckled. "Death is my ultimate goal. To end this painful existence I'm currently trapped in, the hell that I experienced in my current life. However, I made a promise never to let go easy or freely. But It's a real rush to fight none the less so I will never go down easy either with words or with a fight." Nadia replied was an evil smile as she twirled the blade in her hand.

Ciara Byrd shifted slightly as she pulled out a short sword. Nadia looked at the girl for a moment thinking. 'I defiantly can use this person. But either way I must prove myself and beat her!' She decided as she herself got ready to fight.
