The Gedriht has arrived in Baizan and Rena, Hayato and Paruru seperated from their friends to have some time with eachother away from other people's eyes.

They have decided to tour around Baizan's forest and see the sights. Despite having an initial bad impression due to the fact that Baizan is a Penal Colony shared by the Gimaelics and Vanorans, Rena was eager to show the exotic flora and fauna that the Jungles have offered.

Their feet followed a paved path and they saw several people marching about carryin bags or carts. The roads were often dangerous with bandits and wild animals but mostly wild animals would sometimes pounce at the unsuspecting traveler and make a quick mugging or meal of respectively. Fortunately for the Asthmatic Paruru, she was safe with Samhane/Rena and Hussar Hayato travelling with her. Their plan was to have an overnight walk at the famous 'Jungle Road' and stay by an inn then come back to the rest of the Gedriht who are standing idly by in the Dockyard. Rena also remembered that most of their friends decided to take leave from their group to enjoy some rest and relaxation in the town or wherever they want to go to.

She recalled that Wulfgar, Yuki, Osgar, Gizzur and Churi decided to go to the town and enjoy sometime there. Miyuki, Belisarius, Rainoric and Sakura went to some 'secret place' that they both refuse to tell to her and Takamina was with the Vanoran Legionnaires doing Drill Sargeant things.

"The fresh air is sure nice isn't it Ane?" Hayato complimented

"Yes, after that whole accident with Osgar during the storm my lungs felt better. I should tell him im ok. He must have felt guilty when he landed on me." Paruru said.

"Rena-san, are you ok?" Hayato asked.

Rena was walking besides them, her head dazed off to another planet as she remembered the time she was chased into the jungle. The beating of her friends, the tomb and Samahane rolled around making her shed a tear which Hayato noticed.

"Oh, uhm, yes Im ok." Rena said wiping of her tear.

"Well we should heading to a crossroad next and we are supposed to go rrr---- Hey look!" Hayato pointed out.

Hayato was pointing at several people who looked like they just escaped. They consisted of young men and women and a few children. To make things that piqued the group's interests, they looked like they are Japanese.

"Help! Please help us! We are being chased by slavers!" One of them said in Japanese (which I translated for your convenience)

"Their they are!" Said a gruff voice that came from the bushes of the nearby jungle. Out came an Ardent Mage complete with scars on his skin and armed to the teeth with weapons. He was accompanied by 3 dozen men also similarly armed with him.

"Your coming back with us! I want a nice fresh woman to my whip at!" said the Ardent Mage slave master.

"Not if I can help it!" Hayato said unsheathing his sword.

Rena also unsheathe her sword too. The reason why she did that instead of unleashing Samhane was that she doesn't want to alert everyone in the island to her prescence.

A melee broke out between them. But they were outnumbered 2 to 18. And they seemed to be done for less several arrows struck the Ardent Mages down.

"Blood for the Blood Church!" said a voice. A man in red armor swung down from a tree from a vine like tarzan and kicked a Ardent mage in the chest blasting him back.

An ambush of even more people dressed like in came out of the jungle and attacked the attackers.

Rena felt her back being pushed down as she fell down to the dirt road. She felt she bruised herself as the hard soil stopped her fall. The ambushers quickly killed all of the slavers and disarmed Hayato. Rena saw infront of her, Hayato falling down to his knees as well Paruru and the Japanese escapees. Then the man in red armor who seems to be the leader of the group pulled out a large curved sword and waved it around the prisoners. The women and children were crying at the sight of the man.

"Greetings filthy Yamanin from the disgusting world that you had the gall to call 'Earth'. Do you know who I am?" the man said.

The prisoners were slient, too scared to reply to him. He was covered head to toe in armor but the only thing that didn't gave him the appearance of a Broken Lord was that he had eyes poking out of the eyes sockets of his helmet.

"Look at you vermin. Kitty caught your tongue? Its always with you and your lot. Small, weak and pathetic. Flawed! Broken! Damaged by the fires of unfortunate evolution! But don't worry... Bishop Miroslaw will make you all better like me!" The man said. He took off his armor showing a shocking ability that the Red Broken Lords are fully capable of.

Red Dust flowed through the buthcered and stitched up parts of various people. Numerous patches of skin and flesh that were glued together by Red Dust made Bishop Miroslaw a frankenstein monster.

"Scared? Well I can make you more scared. I AM NOT HUMAN! I have achieved that others have failed, I have joined flesh and Dust. I am an Avatar of the bloodied creation! I can make you perfect just like me." Miroslaw said. He hissed creepily as he caressed the cheek of a Japanese woman.

"Don't you dare touch her!" A brave man yelled. He struggled to free himself from the grips of the Red Dust acolyte but to no avail.

Miroslaw turned his gazed to the man and menacingly with his human abomination of his body unleashed a dose of Red Dust to the man. The man puked blood which crushed the short lived courage of the man which only made everyone who was captured even more terrified by them.

"Please let us go." Paruru said with tears on her eyes.

"Oh, *sniff* whats this? A broken one?" Miroslaw walked to Paruru who began to caress every part of Paruru's vulnerable body.

Hayato and Rena dared not to say a word less they would be coughing blood like the poor man that Miroslaw made a quick working off.

"Listen! Listen! Listen! Her lungs are flawed! They break to easily. No, no, her lungs to unique.... make the Mother sick! Makes.... Miro.... ANGRY.... I will fix... you my darling..... don't worry.... Miroslaw will fix everyone. Everyone WILL BE PERFECT! Take them to my lab. I want to impress Vlado when he returns from China." Miroslaw ordered.

The acolytes slammed the heads of everyone into the ground knocking everyone out (and maybe breaking a few blood vessels and bones).

--------------------------

The sound of drops was 1st thing that Rena heard when she came back from her unconscious state. Her head hurt a lot and felt dry. How long was she here? Where's her friends? Rena saw herself inside a dark red room. She was in a hanging cage that was suspended about 10 meters up in the air. She looked outside her cage to see that several other cages containing other hapless victims who were caught by the Red Broken Lords.

The pillars inside the room were infused with Red Dust that felt the prescence of Rena who she forgot became the unwitting avatar of Samhane Haligtide, the greatest of the Re----

"Yatta! How could I forget." Rena spoke to herself. Her hand glowed a slight red glow as she prepared herself.

Then a voice came from some sort of PA system.

"Wyslij kolejna zwloki." the voice of Bishop Miroslaw said.

A Red Acolyte appeared from a door and walked to a control panel that operates the cages. The mechanism of Rena's cage rotated its gears as her cage went down. When it landed the cage unlocked.

"Looks like its yer turn to be on the table. He he." The acolyte laughed as he reached for Rena.

Rena was alarmed when she heard those words. 'To be on the table'? Will she be dissected or something worse? No, she won't go out like this. Rena's hands glowed red and a conjured dagger came out from her right hand and she ed the Red Dust blade into the neck of the acolyte. Blood spat out from his mouth as the man was taken in for surprise.

Thinking quickly, Rena unleashed the former spirit of her previous act 'Gekikara' from her time acting for the cheesy drama 'Majisuka Gakuen' and Tiger clawed the acolyte. His hood came off to reveal a hideous zombie-like face. It was similar to Miroslaw's face in terms of nature. Is this what the Red Dust church followers look like? The sight of them could horrify even the most iron hearted of men.

"Niemozliwy! How? Twoj Japonski!" The man said.

Somehow, Rena could understand him. It must be the spirit of Samhane lingering her. These must be her followers she assumed. Yet she felt the rush of violent adrenaline swim through her veins. Her eyes glowed red and the armor of Samhane Haligtide formed around her body. The Red Dust reacted vigorously around her, the psyopathic deranged mind of the super vampire Red Dust Broken Lord Samhane Haligtide merged with Rena's Gekikara mind.

"BLOOD....BLOOD....MORE!!! MORE!!!" Samhane/Rena exclaimed. She clawed the man down and beat him up to a pulp.

"No!" The acolyte said.

Samhane/Rena clobered the poor man while ignoring his pleas. As she made a bloddy mess of the man, she heard the panicked cries of the prisoners. Some shouted in Japanese while others in English and a few other dialects native to Auriga.

"She is gone mad! We are all going to die!"

"Please don't kill me. I have a wife and children!"

"Rena! Save me!" The hallucinogenic voice of her friend Jurina yelled. The reminder of why she was back in Baizan gave a brief moment of clarity to Rena. She stopped her relenless clawing of the man and stood up. Samhane/Rena walked to the control panel and brought down all the cages. The cages unlocked and the prisoners inside were too scared to get out.

"Alarm! Alarm!" The bloodied acolyte yelled alerting every guard in the compound Samhane/Rena was in. Red Dust acolytes are very resilient people and warriors. They can shrug off the greatest of wounds and can even survive decapatations, massive bloodloss, poisoning and even radiation.

"Get out! Before me or.... them kill you! GO!" Rena told the prisoners run towards the exit who quickly did. Rena then ran to another corridor to search for her friends. Now cladded in the reliquary, robes and armor of Samhane Haligtide.

---------------------------

"No! Please don't kill me!!!" A captured slave owner said. Those were his last words as Bishop Miroslaw, cladded in a surgeons apron slit his throat with his scalpel.

"DIE SINNER!!! THE BLOOD OF INNOCENTS THAT UNBALANCED THE CIRCLE OF HARMONY HAS BEEN MADE EQUAL AGAIN." Miroslaw said in a pseudo-demonic voice. The Broken Lord Bishop was a master surgeon and also a butcher to those who dare sin gravely against the children of creation.

The four Dust affinities (Red, White, Yellow and Black) are seperated into four groups representing each color called a 'Church'. The Red Church represent life and blood. Most of them are renown doctors and can cure almost any disease. But they are also assassins who hunt down people who commited atrocities of that involves murder or any sin that involves the shedding of blood. The church first founder was the revered, respected and feared 'Blood Mother' Samhane Haligtide. She was a proficient Red Dust mage and Assassin who hunts the guilty who kills innocents. After doing way too much slaying of evil men, her enemies teamed up against her and nearly killed her. But her body/armor was taken and preserved in a secret mauseleoum that the people who built or known the location commited suicide to hide it. In memory of their 'Blood Mother', the Red Church would add the practice of assassination into their rites alongside curing people in the most unethical ways imaginable and doing human sacrifices to the statue made in Samhane's image that Miroslaw just did earlier.

"And may his corrupted soul find eternal damnation in the depths of Hell! And may you, Samhane torment him for all of his trespasses. Now to balance the human sacrifice, I shall do one good deed today. Bring in the unwilling patient number forty-eight!" Miroslaw said.

"Yes high priest..." an acolyte said. He pushed wheeled-table with a strapped Paruru on top of it.

The terrified salty girl attempted to loosen her bonds but to no use. She stared dreadingly into the eyes of the Frankenstein face of Bishop Miroslaw.

"No! Don't fight. Makes you sick. Be calm! Its no use to fight here!" Miro said.

"Please don't kill me like that man.... I have a little brother." Paruru pleaded.

"The Hussar? When I am done with you, tell him of my congratulations. He has the face of a recruit and he just joined Auriga's finest calvalry. And don't worry, im going to fix you. Not like that inhuman slave driver I just killed." Miro reassured.

Miroslaw then placed his hand on Paruru's and began to feel the inner workings of her body. He is practicing a technique that is similar to a high tech ultrasound scanner. He is scanning for any broken parts of Paruru's body. Then he ticked a bit before removing his hand.

"Your lungs, they are... FLAWED." Miroslaw commented.

"Uhm.... yes actually.... I have asthma." Paruru said.

"--mmmaaa.... Is that a fancy name for some thing else?" Miroslaw replied while placing his ear on Paru's chest.

"Well look at what I am hearing...your lungs....they spazz... too much.... makes you flawed..... Don't worry.... MIROSLAW WILL MAKE YOU......PERFECT....."

Miroslaw grabbed a breathing mask from a nearby table and placed it on Paru's mouth.

"Breathe into this and you won't feel a thing." Miroslaw said.

Paruru had no choice but to let him place the mask on her. As she inhaled she felt numb in all parts of her body. The mask must have contained an anesthesia.

Then Miroslaw grasped his scapel and made an incision on Paru's bare chest.

------------------

Rena was hiding from the acolytes in a library. Several of them were inside the room messing every bookshelf and stacks to find her. She was hiding behind a large chair near an unlit fireplace. Rena did her best not to breathe as her persuers closed in.

"I want to drink her blood before sacrificing her!" said one of the Acolytes.

Rena tried not to make a sound as one Acolyte was just mere inches away from her.

"Gotcha!" the acolyte shouted. He flipped over the chair that Rena was hiding and grabbed . The acolyte then mercilessly bit Rena on her right shoulder.

"Ahh!!!!" Rena yelled in pain. But as she yelled, her merged spirit of Samhane Haligtide kicked in.

The man who was biting and draining her blood began to feel faint and fell down the floor. The blood he was contained essences of Samhane which is not fit for consumption to most people.

The spirit of Samhane captured her again as she trasnformed to the 'Blood Mother'.

All of the acolytes reacted by shaking violently as Rena transformed. The room lit up in crimson red before dissipating.

"My faithful slaves.... It is rude to bite the hand that feeds you." Samhane said while being manifested through Rena.

"Mother! You are awake? How? Please my mother, forgive us of our transgressions. We didn't know." An acolyte kneeled in submission at the sight of their Church's Matriarch.

"I have awoken through a new vessel of this human. Now I walk the universe again to purge the unworthy, for they have no future but hell." Samhane/Rena said.

"Please mother, is there anything that we can do to earn your forgiveness?" The acolyte said.

"Well.... I am looking for...." Rena said

(10 minutes later)

Hayato was sitting alone in his cell tired, thirsty and afraid. He had just saw his sister being taken away by the acolytes to what in his perspective perceives to be is that Paru will become a sacrifice for the Red Broken Lords sick and vile ceremonies. He felt like he had lost all hope in the world as know there is know escape for him now.

Then suddenly.... the cell lock opened and a lamp light illuminated Hayato's dark room.

"Hayato its me Rena. Where is your sister?" Rena asked in the voice of Samhane. There was a sense of urgency in her voice as now they need to find their friend before getting the hell out of this place.

"They took her somewhere. I don't know where. She could be anywhere." Hayato replied. He weakly stood up from his dirty prison cell with the help of a stool that was inside.

"Acolyte, where do you usually take people when their time is up or due or whatever?" Rena asked one of the acolytes behind her.

The acolytes, at the sight of their matriarch worshipinggly followed Rena and even toured her around the Red Broken Lord fortress of Baizan. They sang chants and litanies foreign to Rena's ears and was flowered by local flora that were colored red. It looked rather contrasting as a woman in armor was nearly covered head to toe with red flowers and flower petals.

"They are taken to Bishop Miroslaw's laboratory for, depending on the very person himself. Will either be tortured to death in a very slow manner or undergo through 'Perfectionism' surgery." The acolyte replied.

"I don't like neither to happen to my sister. Rena-san let's go!" Hayato said right after grabbing his Katana from the confiscated weapons crate.

--------------------

"Make a cut here.... and here.... and out goes your lungs!" Miroslaw said. He ripped out Paruru's lungs right infront of her eyes.

Normally she would scream, but the anesthesia that she was administered to dulled her emotions and senses. All she that she could do, was submit to the mercy of the deranged doctor who is operating her.

"No more... ---mmmaaa for you. Off you go!" Miroslaw commented before throwing Paruru's old and Asthma ridden lungs away in a garbage container bin.

Miroslaw then walked back to a cabinet and opened it. It has revealed several preserved body organs in a jar of some sort of nectar that is preserving them. Hearts, kidneys, livers and even eyeballs were seen inside the cabinet. Miroslaw was browsing through each one of his morbid collection looking for a pair of lungs for Paru.

Then a knock from the door was heard.

"Miroslaw! Jestem w domu. Przynioslem cos dla ciebe z China. Mysle ze jego nazwie kaczke po 'Peking Duck'. To smakuje." A gruff sounding yet weary voice came from behind the door.

"Vlado! Come in and place the birdie down on a table. Im working on someone so be careful." Miroslaw said.

"Since when did I ever give a damn about your experiments!" Boyar Vlado of Tuniki said. He kicked open the door and carried with him a sack of items onto the table. The chinese favorite meat dish to eat on a lunar new year, the Peking Duck was one of the items. Alongside some counterfeit (but don't tell the Gimaelics heheh *wink) goods of luxury brands and severed heads of several of the PLA soldiers that Boyar personally slew in the raid of Shanghai.

"Ah here they are. I remembered dissecting this from a Gimaelic girl a year ago. I remembered the face she made when I dissected it from her. Anyhow, Haruka here's your new.... PERFECT.... Lungs." Miroslaw said. He walked up to Paruru and carefully attached the lungs to her body. To avoid rejection by Haruka's immune system. Miroslaw used his mastery of Red Dust to manipulate the antibodies to accept Paruru's new lung.

"Just need to glue it here and---" Miroslaw was about to give himself a self congratulatory praise when the door to his laboratory was unexpectadly opened.

"Paruru!" Samhane/Rena shouted.

"The bloody hell is this? An impostor of our mother?" Miroslaw questioned. He put himself infront of the table of his patient in order to defend her from this sudden turn of events.

"Miroslaw, she is know impostor. She is really her, in the flesh. Not patched up and stitched as we all do, but her skin. As smooth as the finest of Grassilik and her skin as white as snow." The Acolyte said.

"An intruder! Come to steal our secrets! Back off! Or I will crush this woman's heart!" Boyar Vlado quickly ripped out Paruru's heart with his bare/armored hands.

"Ane! Give it back!" Hayato said.

"Im your 'Mother' uhm... big scary man. Let my friend go. Or I will..." Rena nervously said. It was her first time seeing Boyar Vlado in person. Indeed he was terrifying in appearance with his red armor and large frame. He had a skull shaped helmet and winglike 'ears' on its side. His eyes were glowing bright red and his hands were menacingly pointy as if her can punch through skin and bone with just one strong poke from one of his fingers.

(Boyar Vlado of Tuniki (A Khorne Berserke))

"So says the words of a pathetic Earthling. I slew a million when I was in your realm called China." Boyar boasted. He raised a severed head of a Chinese man to prove it.

"Im from Japan not China." Rena corrected.

"Japan, China.... cut me balls of and sell them to a witch doctor! I don't give a damn of nation. As long as you have blood... they are all equal to me!" Boyar said.

"I am your Matriarch.... sir. I order you to put that heart back in my friends body." Rena ordered.

Her aura of authority while dressed in the clothes of Samhane didn't persuaded the champion slayer of the Red Broken Lords to consider her words.

"Where did you get your fake armor? From the local tailor and smithy no doubt! I bet me just came here to challenge me?" He challenged.

"Ok, how about this. I duel with you. If I win, you are going to put my friend's heart back into her body." Rena challenged Vlado.

"Nie moge w to uwierzyc! Someone challenged me instead of I challenging them? This is the first time in five thousand years someone had the balls to fight with me! I accept. Let us go to the dueling ground outside so all of the Church can relish in your bloody demise." Vlado scoffed.

----------------

The dueling ground was a simple large circle with its boundarie's highlighted by a wall of rocks that was as high as Rena's hip can go up to. The sand in the circle was colored red but Rena could barely see it as tonigh was dark and a heavy downpour of rain befell on the ground.

She was standing idly at her side of the circle as she waits for Boyar Vlado to appear. He said that he is going to prepare himself for the fight and to give Rena a fighting chance, he will remove his armor to show his s patched up and stiched possesed body from the corpses of people he killed.

Then a horn was blown and a man dressed in a rich red velvet robe walked towards the duelling ground. His face was decorated with many scars from previous fights and the walking frankenstein monster man's eyes were glowing furiously red.

He entered the duelling circle followed by a dwarfish acolyte carrying a large curved sword in a scabbard.

"Lubyanka please." Boyar Vlado gestured his right hand. The acolyte rested the hilt of the sword to Vlado's hand. Once he touched his blade, Vlado unsheathed it and planted the sword on the ground.

"The rules are simple beat me and your friend's heat shall be returned, if not. I will sacrifice you to the true Blood Mother in this very ground. Be sure not to piss yourself. You are standing in sacred ground and I hate to have old man Olgier wipe off your disgusting excrements." Vlado dictated.

The rain poured harder as Rena readied her scythe.

"Hai I know what to do." Rena said.

"So shall we wait sir, for the dribble to subside?" Vlado said commenting about the rain that is making the red colored soul they are both standing on muddy.

Rena paused and held her breathe. She exhaled and responded.

"It makes no difference."

"Justly said. Now stand and fight!" Boyar Vlado pointed his saber forward to Rena's direction commencing the duel. His blade judging by its complexion was made from Gimaelic Steel and only Gimaelic Nobility have access to such blades. Rena knows that this man take his sacred duty of killing seriously.

('Lubyanka' Vlado's Saber, Used in duels and cermeonial executions rather than in an actual battle)

(Cue the epic duelling music!!!!!!  Listen to: Percival - Dziewczyna Swarożyca)

Rena charged with her scythe towards Vlado and swung her blade. But unexpectadly, Vlado suddenly dissipated to a red-black mist. Surprised, Rena held her feet on a defensive pose expecting some sort of trickery coming from Vlado.

Then suddenly a curved blade of Gimaelic Steel erupted on Rena's chest.

"You don't swing girl. You flail!" Vlado insulted Rena from behind her. He removed his sword and kicked Rena's back.

Rena checked her chest wound, normally she would already be dead but here wound quickly regenerated. Red Dust was reattaching her cells in a rapid pace. Confident that she has a dose of healing factor on her side, she smiled crazily.

"Such passion... you fight smart. Ne Okutteru?" She said.

"Engarde Rena!" Vlado said. He Dust Dashed towards Rena and repeatedly swung 'Lubyanka' repeatedly. Rena parried his swings which quaked Rena's balanced as the unusual weight of the saber disrupted her equilibrium of stature.

Then the tables turned for Rena as she shrugged off the the swings and began to whirlwind her scythe at Vlado in a counter attack.

Despite the inhuman and physics defying speeds of her scythe. Vlado was still on his toes as he blocked them effortlessly.

"Come on! Harder! Harder! Harder! Hold nothing back!" Vlado taunted.

Rena panted and panted. Her oxygen has been depleted by the exerting of her vained efforts on Vlado. She felt angry as a furious dragon as she fueled herself with her anger and frustrations.

"Rena!" Hayato yelled out from the crowd of cheering acolytes.

Rena's inner anger was reaching its breaking point. Red Dust began to surround her body as soul Samhane took over her.

"I SAID ENOUGH!!!" Samhane/Rena roared like a dragon. She began to perform another whirlwind with her scythe. This time the blade glowed blood red with Red Dust.

Vlado dodged several of the whirlwinds but one went to close for him to avoid. The scythe found its mark deep on Vlado's abdomen. The crowd went still as they saw Vlado took the scythe.

"Ha..ha..ha..." Vlado lightly laughed. He sank the already buried scythe blade further down his abdomen which also made the Boyar closer to Samhane/Rena's Red Dusted eyes.

Rena kicked Vlado free off of her weapon and readied herself as Vlado raised his saber up for a downward slash. She parried upward Vlado's swing, leaving him open. Rena quickly heaved her scythe and the blade struck Vlado's neck.

"Rrrrraaaggghhhh!!!!..... *heave*.....*heave*....." Vlado yelped. His head was nearly decapatitated as a strip of flesh was only keeping his head attached to his body. Vlado's head was barely hanging by that strip of flesh as blood gushed out of his severed neck. He planted his saber on the ground and leaned on it before he stood upright with head still hanging.

Then he clapped his hands....

"Well struck, Samhane." Vlado said happily. He pulled up his head back to its proper place on top of his mouth by gripping his fingers to his mouth.

Both Rena and Hayato were both frightened to see how easily Vlado could simply just laugh at the face of death by making no big deal of getting his head nearly cut off.

"But know I want to ask to Samhane. Why did you meddle at a matter not of your concern?" Vlado asked.

The soul of Samhane took over her vessel named Rena again and spoke.

"Has forty thousands of millenia made you nihlistic Vlado? I wanted to make sure my avatar is content. You looked like you were intending to kill the Yamanin's friend in front of her IN MY PRESCENCE." Samhane/Rena said. As she spoke everyone who was an acolyte became prostrate and didn't dare look up to their Matriarch unless told upon so.

"You know me Sam, I was only kidding. A man needs to express his madness once in awhile, it helps him feel alive. And the 'challenge'  from Gewis got me upset. The Earth Human's couldn't tell s*** from a saber if there asses depended on it." Vlado said.

"I couldn't blame either you and Gewis. Both of you didn't know what to expect in Earth. At least you made some fresh offerings to the Church. But I am getting out of subject. The heart you ripped out. Return it to its owner." Samahane/Rena said.

Bishop Miroslaw walked in with a still alive Paruru strapped to the table. The anesthesia made from Red Dust can keep a person alive even if one of a living being's vital organs is dead or was forcibly removed.

Vlado carefully reattached Paruru's hear and Miroslaw patched Haruka's opening with a quick stitch and healing spell.

Samhane's soul waned out of prescene as Rena regained control of herself.

"Ahh... did that really happen?" Rena asked.

"Yes it did Rena-sama... Ane!" Hayato walked up to her. He saw his beloved older sister finally stood up from her table and hugged her.

"Im ok Hayato-chan, Im ok. Its ok." Paruru teared up. She smiled as she hugged her brother.

"So what happened to you Salt?" Rena asked.

"I performed a lung transplant on you friend. She no longers have to worry about this.... Assmm.... 'Short Breath' ok? I can't pronounce these silent T's right. Blyad!" Miroslaw said.

"But he made me watch the whole thing." Paru added.

"Eh? Really? That means you won't collapse suddenly anymore? Good! Uhm, thank you Miroslaw." Rena said.

"I should thank you for walking the Earth Again Avatar. And please forgive Vlado and I for our.... madness. When you live in a fortress and never go out and your job is ritualistically murdering someone, you can get a tinsy bit crazy." Miroslaw bowed.

"But since I WAS the highest ranking Red Lord I wish to ask you, Is there any bloody thing in this world I can do to forgive for me and behalf of the Church for their transgressions. Anything I can do to earn your forgiveness Mother?" Miroslaw added.

Rena though hard, she didn't know what to ask for. Then suddenly Paru jumped.

"You can help in building the fleet that they are now building in the dockyard." Paruru said.

"You mean the one commissioned by Jiraduveja the Golden Drakken of Vanoran?" Miroslaw said.

"What so we going back to Earth again?" Vlado asked.

"No, its for a trading expedition." Paruru said.

"Oh, 'Mercantism' As I heard from the other Nobles back in Gimael. I was never a man who can understand its workings. But I do love its results." Vlado scratched his neck.

"I agree, you can help. But for now, no more blood sacrifices to me." Rena said.

"As you wish Mother. Shall we you to the dockyards?" Vlado said.

"Yes----KYAAA!!!!" Rena yelled as she was carried by 3 acolytes on her back. She was then followed by an entourage of worshipping Red Broken Lords singing and praying to her.

------------------------

"Rena? Who the heck are these people?" Takamina asked.

"Uhm...'Samhane's Wota's'." Rena replied.

"Hey these 'Reds' look at me funny." Lucillius commented. He was being harassed by Miroslaw who was touching him.

"Your clean of all flaws Vanoran. Miroslaw likes you. Vanoran's are hardy like Gimaelics. But can handle sun better than them. No stones thrown* to you Eslek." Miroslaw said.

"None taken. But I want to inform you that construction of the fleet is underway and I am assigned as the foreman for this project. I can use Miroslaw to patch up any injured worker so they can quickly get back to work. Good call having the Reds help us, despite their leader's past transgressions." Eslek said.

"Why? Did Vlado did something wrong before?" Rena asked.

"He assaulted Gewis once over a disagreement. Gewis barely got out of the fight with his soul intact when we wrestled him down. Rainoric's father was so enraged that he exiled him to Baizan as soon as we place him on a bed. I remember his word's 'Take that crazy man out of my sight! Send him f***in Baizan! Chain'hm up and have 500 guards take him there!'." Eslek quoted and spoke in the same voice as Gewis when he quoted the words.

"Just tell him to sod off from me now." Vlado said.

"So where's Wulfgar?" Rena asked.

"Tower, Yuki and the other Huscarls went to this new tavern that popped out of town called 'Warayakiya' It's in your language am I right? I hear it has a glass window. Glass window!" Lucillius said.

"What are they doing their?" Rena asked.

"Probably gambling their salaries and drinking. Wulfgar is more of the gambler. But I hear that new tavern is serving food unlike anything I hear before. These small balls filled with onions, ginger....and wait this a Krake, a Vanoran Decopus*." Lucillius said.

"Its called Takoyaki." Rena said.

"Tako-whatever. But its pretty similar to the Gimaelic's Squid Tactics. Now that's a bounty of the sea." Lucillius laughed and walked away leaving everyone behind.

"Well let's get to work shall we? Takamina, Legio's Parati!" Eslek ordered.

"Hai and went back to work."

Rena, Paruru and Hayato decided to take a well deserved sleep while Miroslaw and Vlado contributed to the construction of the fleet as penance for the accidental kidnapping of their 'Blood Mother'.

No stones thrown: No offense.

Vanoran Decopus: Think of a 10 armed octopus. Takoyaki never tasted this squiglgy.... hehehehehehehe

Note: I have split everyone's adventures of Vanoran to allow more character development.
