Elder Blood Witcher 170 Cowardly Petrus

Reima is led to the demon ruins where he spots Quelaag in the distance training some covenant members in Pyromancy, he ducks his head and looks for Solaire who is apparently sparring against three men at once... He approaches drawing their attention, the Sun-Bro immediately perking up. "My friend! You've finished your task I presume?" Reima nods at his question, "Our next target is Nito so I've prepared a Divine weapon for you, unless you already have one?"

Suprisingly he nods and shows his Sunlight Straight sword, "Actually I've been using this sword since before I lost my divinity... It still has traces of it making it effective against undead."

Reima just looks at him mildly annoyed, "You could'a told me that before I had a sword enchanted for you... Eh, whatever, use it as a spare." he says as he hands the sheathed Silver Straight sword to Solaire, who attached it to his unoccupied waist. "It's a fine sword, thank you for the gift."

The two chat for a moment before Reima remembers something, "Weren't you looking for Siegmeyer? Did you find him?"

Solaire just crosses his arms and nods, "We did... He's a rather... Free spirit? We healed him of the poison afflicted him and he immediately leaves for Izalith taking Sieglinde with him. To be honest I highly doubt their ability to traverse through such dangerous lands."

It's highly probably that he'll have to save Siegmeyer again, only now there is two of them to rescue. "Well we'll save them again if we need to... It's all Jolly cooperation after all" he grins as he fist b.u.mps Solaire.

He hears a cough behind him and notices the nearby Chaos servants backing away... Rigidly turning around he sees Quelaag, scowl on her face and arms crossed. "... h.e.l.lo Quelaag, you're looking awfully beautiful today, must be the hair, have you done something to it?"

The fiery spider just gives him an angry look before grabbing his cheeks, "HOW MANY WOMEN ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE ON MY DOOR STEP!" she almost shouts as she wrings his cheeks harshly.

"Mphhmp, Mmmthey need shelter!" he manages to get out as his cheeks are a.s.saulted.

She ignores his pleading and eventually stops after working it out of her system, "Saving a Princess? Will you ever stop poking your nose into trouble?" she sighs, her own cheeks red from activity.

Reima shrugs while idly sipping his Estus trying to rid himself of red raw pain in his cheeks, "I'm literally trying to slay G.o.ds, if it's not already complicated then it will be."

Quelaag "Are you going to pick up Solaire and leave straight away again?"

Reima nods, "But, I've got you a gift... So, don't be mad?" he hands her a copy of the Chaos Flame Whip Pyromancy he'd found in Izalith, he'd made the copy quickly before entering the demon ruins... In preparation for bribing a certain spider."

Her face lights up, "It's one of mothers own spells! How did you find this?", He shrugs, "Picked it up..."

She ignores his lackl.u.s.tre answer and hugs it to her chest before scuttling back to the cave to study it. "You're free from my wrath for now, but if you don't return I will hunt you personally." she adds over her shoulder as she leaves.

Reima and Solaire quickly make their preparations to delve into Nito's domain, funnily enough the most useful thing they gathered was a Sorcery taught by Dusk that created a light... While not amazingly useful it'll still be highly desired inside the Catacombs and especially the Giant tombs. Reima was quickly able to learn the Sorcery from an eager Dusk before the duo set off. There wasn't a large farewell prepared for them as everyone expected them to come back safe and sound, whether this was arrogant negligence for their safety or trust in their capabilities they hope it's not the former.

They teleport to Firelink shrine and start heading to the nearby graveyard, Divine weapons in hand. Once they actually reach the graveyard they spot a familiar figure fighting amongst the skeletons... It's Petrus, the cleric who'd left with the others and the young woman. Funnily enough the Cleric doesn't even wield a divine weapons and thus the skeletons won't stop reanimating after being destroyed.

He seems to spot them watching him fight and shouts, "What're you waiting for! Help me!"

...

Reima isn't sure whether he wants to do that or not, but it seems Solaire can't hold himself back any longer and jumps into battle. He immedaitely crushes a couple skeletons with his shield before turning to a giant skeleton and jamming his Sunlight straight sword into it's eye, killing it completely. Reima follows soon after his friend and they eventually save the exhausted looking Cleric, "I thank you for the help." he says to Solaire, fully ignoring Reima...

Solaire "It's no problem, me and my friend were just about to descend into the depths. You seem to have come from them, do you have any advise for us?" He asks the man sincerely.

Petrus "Ha! Advice from someone almost killed by some weak skeletons? You must be mad, especially since you're accompanying a demon." he glances at Reima finally.

Solaire notices this an retorts, "Hold on a moment, that is no way to speak to someone who had just risked their hide for you."

Reima just pats him on the shoulder, "Don't mind it" before turning back to Petrus. "What happened to your group?"

Petrus turns his head away, "They went hollow protecting that useless maiden, stupid n.o.bleborn wench didn't know a thing about combat or tactics. The church must've sent her to sabotage us."

He continues his tirade until he notices the Sun-bro's weren't listening anymore, he curses them and makes his way back into Firelink shrine.

Solaire grins at Reima, "Another maiden to save my friend?", who just gives a half-hearted nod in reply.
