Miss Lilith is making me lose my patience! Since I came to instruct her in the art of defensive magic, I have encountered many problems: first, she is a powerful magician to the point that not even our leaders would stand a chance, it is not only her human ability (augmented by all the deformations courtesy of the elves) if not her ability to mold her power into so many things that only someone who has suffered its horrors can understand, every holy shield, every resistance or healing magic she finds something similar with which to imitate me, more powerful but of no use to anyone except those of her new species.
Yesterday I discussed the problem with my leader Capablanca, he indicated that everything in the city is ready, so I will soon be called to serve in the defense of my hometown That afternoon she had taught healing magic, which since they don't wear much armor is a great addition to their abilities, Apparently she was a student of the priest in the beginning, so she understands the concept of "forcing the cells" to gently insert the magic between our wounds to activate all the systems of our body, create tissue, stop the bleeding, create more blood, all in a single instant while thinking about how to attack and of course how to defend, she understood my theory well, but just as we were testing the theory (me on a beast of the huge black forest and her on one of her companions) the white light of healing shone in my hand but nothing formed in hers, for a moment I thought I saw a light but it faded, with a grimace of frustration she tried three more times, then with a gesture of annoyance she left the room, until I followed her I noticed the noises outside, Apparently a drunken orc was attempting to mate with one of the many peasant women in the area, from what little I know, orcs can mate with almost any humanoid species, while they have almost no females, which is what causes the attacks on the villages, but the orcs of this place have fertile females, apparently the present does not forget their games of yesteryear.
Tonight, even with my eyes closed, I can remember the scene, she runs and marks with her hand the cheek of the brute, this mad with lust and humiliation throwing a slow claw that she eludes, so for a few minutes, he slaps me while attacking and she slides smoothly between his clumsy movements, until finally from the mouth of the brute begins to gush a little blood, the orc notices it and screams inarticulate, He throws a blow and she graciously moves to the left, only this time the warrior had learned Lilith's movements, expecting to cause a huge red mark that appears on his back in the shape of those filthy and broken nails, everyone wants to intervene but while he laughs she just smiles a little, she told me she would show me how her kind was healed, then she throws a single rune leech life, something so terrible should not exist! The line of magic advanced like an arrow and embedded itself where the wound was, from there blood began to flow, a lot of it, it traveled in a cadence to the back of the succubus queen where it rested, it covered her, caressing her, closing her wounds, her color began to look intense, it could be seen that her magic was active, the orc was surprised at first, then annoyed, the expression turned to terror when he tried to move, he realized how much blood he had lost, this was more than an attack, it was an execution.
It took her five minutes to empty an orc of two meters, but not only that, when she was done, her wounds were healed and she was still gathering a huge ball of blood in front of her, when the first friend of that orc came out to oppose her, she just told him that she had fulfilled her promise, the orc screamed madly, I thought I was going to see a repetition of such a Dantesque event, but she just smiled and the sphere grew longer, it continued to take shape until it reached the size of a baculum, but instead of a magic stone it was a terrible spearhead, we all saw it harden, from an intense red it changed, no, it solidified to a brownish tone, In front of us, in the middle of the scene, I realized that her ability had nothing to do with any of the magics I could teach her, at least not the sacred ones, so I better disappear for a few days while I searched for books of power, destructive magics, things that would be useful to her, but when I showed them to her, she rejected them with an indifferent look, I need to understand how the mind works, how to shape what surrounds the thoughts, not just cloud the consciousness, make people see what is not there, you are good at hiding, but I want to understand how to do it, take it to a new level, my own".
That same night I go to see my boss, if I teach her it is very possible that no one can face her, I walk the paths with an open mind, my magic field is not so showy, but that serves me, I shape it to the protective field that Lilith has, slowly I advance, going around the paths and small new villages, I walk all afternoon and at night I am close to the advance camps, from there I communicate with my boss, the image distorted by the distance and by the precaution so that no one detects my magic field prevents me from seeing his face, But he sounds tired, he tells me that I have to help him, he gives me several places where he knows that some dark books were kept, when I ask why so much support for someone as ruthless as the most hardened caparoja, she tells me that it is for reasons I do not understand, she only asks me to help her, that a great conflict against the high elves is coming and it is better that most attention is given to her people than to our beloved Storm Hammer. .. As best I can, I write down the information she dictates to me, thinking over and over again that I am lucky to be far from being the only city that openly rebels against the magic and attack style of the elves and caparojas, and declares itself neutral towards the people of the Alcazar.
When I returned to the outskirts of the castle I could hear an orgy going on, with a bit of disgust I pricked up my ears a bit, I could hear orcs, their animal growls were unmistakable, I was afraid that they were raping more people from the village, I hid in the shadows while I approached, from there I watched the scene, some orcs, just out of puberty, are fornicating with a pair of succubi, the color of their skin indicates that they have been doing it for a while, while in the background a bag of what is unmistakably gold passes from the hands of Lilith to one of the shamans, her words are clear and painful:
"I regret the death of the father of these boys, they will be welcome in my shop on the outskirts of the city, I want to arrange a way for your people to reproduce without harming my inhabitants, this will be a new civilization and we can't start doing what we want without thinking of others".
So I don't postpone anything, I come out of the shadows, but she doesn't seem surprised, it's as if she knew I was there and that's why she told me those words, with groans in the background I tell her everything I've been informed, even that she's about to be attacked, She only told me that she had already collected all the titles, but that she didn't understand them, and that if I read them for her, she would finally learn something useful. .. I definitely can't stand her! But at least I understand her better now.
