Sandstone - Who in your life has been the most healing for you?

Saels pondered for a moment with a large smile on his face. “I-it is a hard question, but I-I would have to say Aerik.” He started to play with his thumbs a little as he added on. “H-He has been there since the very beginning and has healed many wounds, both physical and emotional ones. T-Truely, no one can replace him.”

Buff :3c

Buff - Would you consider yourself to be fit, fat, or skinny?The young Hellsguard looked down at himself for a moment to answer the question with accuracy. His brow knitted as he really could. It see past his large chest. "I-I do not claim to be all that fit but nor am I so large." As he turned his eyes back up he blushed a bit. "I believe I fall under the category of a good medium."

Pink, Bronze, Laurel

Pink - Are you currently in a relationship? if so, who is your partner?The young Hellsguard began to glow a bright rose color as the question was asked. "Y-Yes I am. Q-Quite a few....a-actually." Saelsria scratched his beard and smiled. "I-I have two husbands, Sterrbhar and Isilfyr, and I am currently seeing two others, A-Aerik and Aisbraena." Bronze - What is your favorite way to warm up when it’s cold?"S-Sitting by a fire and resting on one another." Saels said with a smile. "I-I do hate the cold so staying warm is something I-I try to maintain."Laurel - Is there a major victory you’ve achieved in your life? if so, what is it?"M-Major victory?" The young Hellsguard tilted his head to and fro a few times as he pondered an answer. "T-There has yet to be one that I would consider major besides the ones in where I leave the mission intact. S-Soon in the coming moon, I think I will be achieving that victory."

Saving Saelsria

Blood ended up smeared along the floor as he did something uncharacteristic of himself…he stripped himself of his clothing once he’d entered the room. His wounds had been healed, but his clothing had been left saturated in the red fluid. So as he pulled the garb off and tossed it to the floor, leaving his dark skin exposed…another thing he never did. Exhausted, that’s how he felt after the mission in La Noscea. But…Saelsria was safe, everyone was safe: that’s what mattered. His torso was still coated in blood as he approached the bed, not even thinking about this concept, even though normally he was so mindful about it.

Where he’d been run through hurt…it was sore after having been healed. Approaching the bed he climbed onto it, getting blood on the covers and the cushions. It wasn’t until a pair of warm arms wrapped around his cooled skin did he actually come out of his auto piloted daze. But the arms didn’t last very long and were replaced with questions he didn’t catch before another and another took the place of the previous he didn’t have time to register. What he was missing was the fact that Raulin saw blood and was, rightfully, freaking out.

 I…am fine…

It wasn’t a lie, he was fine, the blood was residual as to what had happened, but that didn’t stop the blonde hyur from his worry and barrage of questions. Hell…the blonde may have been in tears and Fier may not have taken notice- he just wanted to sleep.

 Earlier that evening they’d all gathered in Wineport, discussing the plan to go and retrieve Saelsria from his captors, the Fox Gang. Fier hadn’t told anyone…but he was familiar with them…with the name: Kitsune no Soshiki. Something from home. What they wanted with Saelsria he never asked, it wasn’t the time to do so in all honesty. He would have to find the Roegadyn later.

The fight had been tedious, but not something he was unaccustomed to: ninja and their illusions…tricks and other shenanigans. He’d moved ahead of the group, which consisted of himself, Isilfyr, Sterrbahr, Beexu, Aerik, Boar, Aisbraena, Izumi, and Ligart. All close friends to the roegadyn that had been taken away. Unfortunately they’d lost the chance to catch the Fox Gang by surprise due to Izumi’s clumsy advance…which ended up in her being captured and taken away as well.

Immediately they were set upon by the foxes, to which they began taking them out one by one, until their Master called for them to retreat. But the call to retreat was to make room for two specialized puppets that wielded blades and poisons. Fier was already near the shack that he assumed Saels was being held in…but he found himself under attack by a familiar highlander wielding a massive fan. It was an all out battle, the woman revealing information to the small Doman. He knew her…he knew who she was…and he remembered her from the dojo back home. She trained with A’mauro…he remembered watching their group, he wasn’t someone that ever forgot a face. But her name eluded him.

Sterrbahr was the first to make it into the shack, while the highlander who now called herself Kaze kept the rest at bay from entering. The two puppets were disposed of after a swift move of Izzy, grabbing the strings and sending a sonic wave of sound through them and straight to the puppeteer. The battle was turning in their favor when Alec made his appearance, assisting in the fight. It was right about then that the order to retreat was given, and Kaze disappeared in a swirl of wind…taking one of Fier’s fans with her. Most of the group poured into the shack to tend to Saelsria and Izumi, the roe’s mind was…not in the best condition- so it was best those closest to him saw to this task.

Meanwhile Fier was on the move, tracking and following Inari and Kaze, he wanted his fan back…he needed it back! As the tracks stopped so did he, pausing and trying to pinpoint them. His gut was pierced with the very fan he’d been looking to retrieve, poisons that weren’t his own coursing through his body and sending him to the ground in a bleeding heap.

 Sleep well, my little Takara.

Those words rang in his ears as darkness came and seized him, plunging him into an almost fitful and restless slumber. To which he was awakened by the pain of his body being healed by Aerik, the warm, strong arms of Beexu hugging him close to her frame.

Somewhere between then and now…he’d been taken to the Agents infirmary, Aiouxdaux rushing to his side to tend to any wound or whatever he could do. The poison remained in his system, leaving him groggy and hardly able to move…which the Elezen tended to swiftly. It wasn’t until he was fully cleansed and Aiouxdaux had saw to the healed wound to make sure all was well did he lead Fier to the room he, Mikha, and Raulin shared. And now…he was being hugged and tended to by the fretting hyur, who quite possibly in tears by now since Fier was vaguely unresponsive due to fatigue. He just wanted to sleep now.

The Prince Saved

As his consciousness faded in the familiar room, his torturers voice and image continued to ring in his mind. Saelsria shook awake several times that night. Sweat dripping down his face and he just wrapped his arms around himself instead of waking Izzy and Sterr. 

“G-Get out of my head...” The young Hellsguard whimpered to himself as tears began to run down his face. He was held captive for quite some time, and under extreme mental and physical torture at that. Bandages covered his torso, his arms and around his neck. Aerik had healed the wounds as best he could in his tired state, but Saels body was still weak and in need of rest. A soft sigh left his mouth as he sat in contemplation. There was darkness as he remembered the where he was being held. His eyes had blurred vision and his body began to feel numb as he hung grom the ceiling. Suspended by chain by his arms, he could hear the sounds of battle outside. The sounds didn’t raise his hopes. They were most likely another form of Inari’s torture. Then came something completely unexpected. A series of curses filled his ears in the accent. 

“Y-You still have tongue I see, Izumi.”

He spoke in a low tone.The Auri was an employee, the Doman contact who had gone silent the first time.. Izumi struggled to reach for him but her restraints where too tight. For what seemed like a bell, she tried to force herself until she eventually passed out. “Izumi..A-Are you still there?”

Saelsria asked the dark room if his friend had gone silent. He frantically moved against his restraints to set himself free, but it all came to a stop soon enough. A tiny needle pierced his neck and with in seconds the Hellsguard was left knocked out. “You keep quiet while I deal with our pests.” The sinster voice spoke before it all went black. When the Hellsguard awoke he was greeted by familiar voices and an even more familiar touch. His eyes could still not focus as he looked around the room. Multiple people, many voices. This had to be one of Inari’s illusions. Aerik, Sterr, Izzy, Alec, Ligart...all of them used before. Saelsria thrashed against his chains in desperation, as tears ran down his eyes. He wasn't about to fall for one of this evil man’s tricks again. His fits continued until Izzy managed to find a way to calm him down. A song, their song. The song that the siren-borne would hum to him on their dates. The sound shook him to the very core as he realized that the man who was pressing his forehead to him, was actually Izzy. Not too long after, he would feel the outline of Aerik’s eye patch on the palm of his hand. “I-It really is you...” As the world around him flashed back, he was in the apartment again. He was hugged himself once again and slowly laid himself down between his two husbands and tried to finally get some rest.

The third scroll...

When Boar did not answer her linkpearl call, Beexu rushed to Sterrbhar’s apartment to check on Izumi since she had asked Boar to watch over the small raen female. Things were in order, and not long after did Sterrbhar and Aerik show up. 

While discussing their next course of attack, a note was slipped under the door. Sterr disarmed the shotty trap and after reading the letter’s words, the group left quickly to travel to the Costa. Where the hidden falls were located as the note mentioned that was where they would find Saelsria or so they’d think. 

And of course, Izumi ran ahead of the others only to stop at a wall of mist. Beexu pulled her away while Sterr went in a head of them. And they waited.

And waited…

Waited…

Beexu and Izumi both were restless, they were worried. It was Aerik who spoke of another plan of attack. Get above the falls and see if they could see anything else. It was better than standing around. Aerik, Bee, Izumi and Boar rushed up the cliffs to do just that, of course for the moment things seemed normal and quiet. However, Boar kicking a rock off the ledge caused the surface below to ripple, it was an illusion. Aerik and Izumi jumped down through the barrier while Beexu and Boar punched their way through the wall up above. 

The curtains were pulled away and the four discovered the masked gang leader, Inari fighting Sterr. He had created water clones to fight the group. They were dispatched easily. Before Inari vanished, he summoned a snake from a scroll to fight them. The snake was a much more difficult enemy, plus added that there was another laying in wait under the falls. 

Beexu was never a fan of snakes, she wasn’t afraid of them but plenty have startled her as a child; so when the second struck and took the miqo’te be surprise and swallowed her. It was a not great situation. She clawed and flailed about in the stomach of the serpent. It was a tightening space and it was going getting worse due to the slow erosion due to the acids. 

The acid got on her skin and clothing and while it was a slow burn, it still irritated her flesh. She needed to get out of there. Thanks to the outside force of Boar bear hugging the snake, she was able to cut herself free and fall face first into the water. Least the acid washed away. 

Aerik and Izumi got the final scroll, which meant the next step for the group was to use the key and get their friend back. None of the fox gang was going to be left alive once these guys get their hands on them.

Another scroll.

Beexu had run into Autgar on the docks in the Mists. She had been fishing and he came by to see what she was up to. The two acquaintances spoke at length about varying topics before parting ways for the day. With no desire to make the trip to Ul’dah; Bee settled on sitting in the Wench for a drink. 

The drink and quiet did not last long. Syvin appeared in the tavern covered in bloody cuts with an unconscious Izumi at his back. She was not looking so well herself. Beexu took to treating Syvin’s wounds to the best of her ability while getting the story from the deaf roe and calling for Sterrbhar’s aid. 

Of course Izumi was attacked. Why did Beexu let that girl out of her sight? The seeker was mentally kicking herself for thinking things would be easy while they worked to formulate a plan on getting Saelsria about from the fox gang. Sterrbhar did a better job at treating Syvin’s cuts while Beexu almost bottle fed a tonic to Izumi to get her burn wounds mending. 

All was not lost however, Syvin managed a scroll. Beexu had sent it on it’s way with Sterrbhar for him to translate or have Fier read. Syvin booked a room at the wench and Beexu opted to carry Izumi back to Sterr’s apartment to let the girl rest and keep guard until the hellsguard returned. 

What a day, and it was only going to get worse. Best call Reckless Boar and see about getting some extra muscle on this case.

Punishment

                                     GRAPHIC IMAGERY WARNING

The midlander in the blood red fox mask tossed a dagger in his hand as he circled the large figure hanging by his arms.

“I won’t ask you again, Prince.” He said with a clear frustration in his tone.

Only silence was the man’s response. Growling, the hyur reached forward and grabbed the figure by the chin and brought it into the light. Saelsria’s face was covered in cuts and bruises. His eyes nearly bloodshot from strain. The green and purple eyes slowly turned to the man in the mask. “I-I will tell you nothing...” The Hellsguard said defiantly as blood trickled from his mouth. “Y-You are as good as dead, Inari....Just you wait.” The young man said spitting his blood onto the midlander’s red mask. Maniacal laughter filled the dark room as Inari took his blade and placed it on Sael’s neck. “You make me laugh.” Behind the mask, Inari licked his lips and leaned into the roegadyn’s ear. “I will enjoy breaking you, Grumble. Your screams have been so tantalizing thus far.” The hyur pressed the blade on to the sun kissed skin and gradually slit it the throat open. The cut was just enough to draw blood. “Feel your life slipping away?” The sinister figure’s cheeks rose behind the mask to show just how much he enjoyed this. “I-Is this the worst you can do? I-I have felt more pain m-making love then from your blade, I-Inari.” His tone was growing weaker but he continued to remain unwavering. Saels grit his teeth and took large breaths to deal with the pain of the torture. Inari finished the cut and dropped the Hellsguard’s head from his hand. “Far from it, Prince. We know just what will break you...” The man said as he took a few steps back and smiled once again. “Enjoy the show...” He quickly tossed a small orb of burning smoke just at the roegadyn’s feet. The smoke contained several hallucinogenic compounds they were released into the air. The midlander quickly made several hand signs and focused his concentration on the illusion. “Tell me, Prince...How much do you love them?”

For the Hellsguard, the smoke cleared and revealed three dark figures that stepped closer. As they entered the light, the figures were revealed to be, Sterrbhar, Isilfyr, and Aerik. They stood there only smiling at him. The faintest spark of relief built in the young man’s heart as he saw them. His heart swelled and his eyes ran over will happiness. But in a cruel twist of fate. Each illusion had their throats split open and fell to the ground lifeless. “N-NO!!!!” Saels cried out as he watched them fall one by one. He thrashed against his restraints as only wanted to reach out to them. His happiness quickly turned into saddness and his cries filled the room. This scene happened over and over again until the cries faded into the night and Inari’s laughed only grew louder.

The Cards and the Scrolls

The young Raen girl found herself on her knees outside the wench in early morning. Little did Izumi know she would have such a chance encounter with a miqote named Beexu. The only problem being the language barrier between them. Calling upon the help of Fier, the seeker and the midlander were about to find out what was leaving the Raen in such distress. Her employer, one Saelsria Grumble, had been taken by the notorious Fox Gang...for the second time. The gang had made it’s way over to Eorzea after the Hellsguard slipped from their capture only a few moons before. They had tracked him down and waited for the trade prince to be alone so they could finally strike. A sight Izumi saw with her very eyes but was unable to stop by herself. 

Izumi quickly showed them to the area where the kidnapping had happened. She pointed out where the Hellsguard was standing and where she was able to take cover and hide. The party found nothing but a dagger thrown from high elevation and a trail of blood. With enough information to back the Raen’s claims, the midlander found it prudent to finally reveal to Beexu just who went missing. Needless to say, there was no delay in assembling the team.

Sterrbhar, Aerik, and Alec all arrived at the moment’s notice. With all those who were able to present, they set out to follow the blood tail on to the rain forest of eastern La Noscea. Following a trail of corrupted aether they fell right into the enemy’s hands. 

Before they could realize they had been set upon by four members of the Fox gang. Dressed in black garbs, blood red chain mail chest armor and adorned with black fox masks they poised for an attack. A barrage of blade, fist and spell was thrown throughout the battlefield as the two parties battled. The battle was close to its end but the final fox called forth his trump card with his dying breath. Pulling free a scroll, he pulled it open and smeared his blood upon its words. Upon expiring, a large toad was called forth as per ninki contract. The red monster was large enough to almost reach the top of the canopy and attacked the party.

But, the cards and fate were with them. As Izumi drew from her deck, their fortune smiled upon them. Azeyma’s balance lent it’s aid to the party and granted them great strength. Each member assaulted with the creature with new found fury. Tearing it to shreds in a display of petals, the toad falls and left the very scroll that summoned it on the floor.

Izumi rushed to the scroll and did her best to read the doman script behind the blood. The writing spoke of three scrolls, the toad, the snake, and the slug, only with the three assembled could they dispell the genjutsu that miraged the Fox gang's hide out. With their objective ahead of them, most of them returned home for a well earned rest. @ffxiv-roleplayer @aeriktirel @albinomiqote @scrawlinghellsguard

“We got ourselves a hunting trip. Those assholes took Saels.”

Beexu had been walking back through Limsa from fishing. Outside the wench she ran into a crying raen of the name Izumi. With Fier’s help, they learned the woman had witnessed her friend get abducted. Though it wasn’t until later out in the orange groves did they learn it was Saelsria who had been taken. Beexu called for Sterr, Aerik and Alec. The three roegadyn joined them. Lead by Fier, they tracked the kidnappers into the rain forest. 

As they got deeper into the jungle, the group was ambushed by four of the kidnappers. It took everyone’s combined strength to bring the few down. Leaving one alive for questioning. Though he did not last long as his taunts left the doman a bloody pile of bits thanks to Sterrbhar. 

The group would have to retreat and gather their energy. They needed everything together to face down the rest of the mongrals and take back what was rightfully their’s. 

Hopfully they aren’t too late…

For A Prince’s Ransom

“N-No...”

Saelsria said in shock as he was met with a sight he did not want to see. He had just left Limsa on his way home from a small meeting with his long lost friend, Alec. Before him, stood a squad of people who were dressed in black grabs and form fitting chain mail. The sight was far from what he was expecting on the walk home but something that had plagued the back of his mind since the day Syvin and him were attacked. “So the prince is finally alone I see? Are you in need of some company?”

The male midlander at the forefront of their group stepped forward with hands out as he spoke his words. His sinister grin revealed a pointed tongue, one that seemed all too unnatural. Saels stood his ground as he continued to scan the field of a means of escape or a way to alert Sterr or Izzy. “W-What do you want, Inari?” Saels growled at the man as he drew closer. He couldnt help but to shake a bit in fear as it looked like the means of escape were hopeless.With a puff of smoke, the midlander was behind the summoner and he was finally done for.

“Do not play dumb with me! We are here for you, prince, and we will get what we want.” With that said Saels knew it was time to act, The young Hellsguard moved to draw his tome and fight but as his hand touched the blindings, a dagger flew from the distance and impaled his hand. He howled in pain as the man then kciked him to his knees.  “Go down where you belong. I do not take kindly to those who run from me.”

Inari quickly tied up and gagged Saels. He tried to resist but that only resulted in more beatings as the rest of the squad came forth to contain him. In a last ditch, the familiar black marking began to grow across his eyes. The midlander only laughed and hit the base of his head with the hilt of his blade to knock him out. With a wave of Inari’s hand they carted the man away but it did not go unnoticed. “No! Master Grumble!” A small Auri girl said from the cover of some blushes. She was bruised and rather tired looking herself. ‘Think Izumi, Think!” She thought to herself as he watched him be pulled away. She needed to find help, that seemed to be the only way. The small doman quickly ran off in the direction of what she knew was Limsa, desperate to find help.

The Prince and the Volcano

(Light NSFW Warning!)

“I-I think I have an idea of what we can do..” The young Hellsguard said as he straddled himself into Sterr’s lap. Saelsria’s hands came to rest on his lover’s chest and he grinned. Leaning forward, his lips began to kiss up along the older man’s chest, to his collarbone, eventually getting to his neck. He quickly moved to mark the area with his teeth as he chomped down on Sterr. “Time to see if this volcano still burns for me...” Much to his lover’s surprise, the young man was showing a bit of a new side in the bed room this eve. Saels hands reached around to find the dark-skinned Hellsguard’s back. His nails dug into Sterrbhar as he pulled himself closer. Their bodies pressed against one another as he continued to mark him. With his lover’s neck marked up, he moved up to kiss him now. The kiss was far from loving, it was filled with the pure passion of wanting. He scratched the older man roughly with his nails still digging into his back. Saels core burned for his lover. They had not shared a moment like this in a moon or so. “Take what is yours...” He said taking a free hand and guiding Sterr’s to rest on his rear. A grin grew on his face as he moved to continue his assault of a kiss. His other arm moved to support him now in his change of position. They continued to exchange heat as they went on through the night. “... By the time we are done tonight O'Ghomoro will seem dormant.”

The Fear of Change

In the eve after their small adventure with Beexu and Boar in Ul’dah. Saelsria and Sterrbhar retired to their apartment. As the young Hellsguard entered the door, he seemlessly dropped his clothing upon the floor and entered the tub. “W-Well that was something.” He said half chuckling as he laid back against the edge of the tub. Running the water along his chest, he began to contemplate the impending date of their trip to the far eastern continent of Othard. Fear set in and his eyes began to water. “L-Love? C-Can I be honest with you for a moment?” The young Hellsguard spoke to break the silence. His tone cracking slightly from the tears. He expressed his fear to his lover about leaving Eorzea behind to find a new life on Othard. It was a long way from home after all. The feeling of the unknown, the possibility of hostility, they grew increasingly evident as his thoughts raced through his head. Thankfully, Sterrbhar was there to ease his mind. The older Hellsguard was one of the few that could put the panicking roegadyn at ease. In there soft embrace, he could finally start to think on the positive side of things. “...I-Izzy can even open a small restaurant...” He chuckled as he started to list of plans, hope, dreams for them in their soon to be new home. Saels wiped his eyes and continued his relaxing soak after a long day of work and company. As he closed his eyes, the smell of beef and rice filled the air. Green onions and soy sauce accented as he tried to rest before dinner.
