Leonora sighed having cleaned herself up hours before hand moving into position of guarding the supplies. She watched the various guards move around, preparing the supplies for the 14th time each as she made a mental note of all their routes, their routines, their ticks. She hated this waiting game. she has thought over so many opportunities she could have destroyed the supplies and taken out all the various guards around her. that would be much too easy in her opinion. This was getting annoying to hold back her wants to take out the guards. The first two she had, ending their lives, even though sad. It was relieving a massive build up stress she never knew she would have or even kept hidden all this time.
She gave silent nods to the passing workers getting and adjusting the supplies, preparing them for the transport. She listened to their various chats and gossip of things such as the worn out news of the vermillion falling or what the Ravencrest are doing. It is just one jab after the other to her. She was tired of it all. She was tired of her name or the constant reminder of the bet she took. She didn't have anyone to blame but herself. If she never took it, she would still be within the crimson lions. She would still be pissed off even more so bound by her duty to her kingdom regardless of what happened. Forever having the smirks and taunts of the nobles poking and prodding her pride like a damn lion in a cage, having to jump through flame covered hoops. She would have bared the gossip the snickers the taunts. she can bare all she had to for the name of her family even if inside she wanted to beat the fear into each and ever one of them for ever speaking the name 'vermillion'.
Any questions of who she was she simply told them she was Rosella. Just some commoner that had just gotten stationed there. She didn't need to explain her reason for being there. Not like any of them understood why she was doing what she was doing. This was the best way she could see to gaining the allies and information she was seeking. She needed to find him and end his existence before he could cause more harm. She needed to end him before Her brother Kea or her cousin Leonard would ever have the unfortunate to run into him. No, she wasn't able to allow his land to taint their hands, his death taint their every waking and sleeping moment. She wasn't going to let him run free. This was her right. She was the only one who was going to be able to bear this burden and it would be one she bared alone. She couldn't depend on Emily. She couldn't depend on anyone stronger to do this. It had to be her. No one else was going to be able to get close.
She sighed shaking the anger from her head. She was irritated. She was pissed. She wanted to destroy Taiyo for all he done. She folded her arms holding the spear she had taken off one of the guards last night standing and waiting. She was determined to make it happen. She watched several figures to finally make their appearance. One a tall slender man with long black hair in a high ponytail in a similar uniform as the rest of the guards but his was a tad bit more tailored and fit, something that one of a much higher standing in the wealth standings. She allowed her magenta eyes to lock with him as she stood silently breaking the staring contest as she looked at the two following him as she heard there were some fellow veterans from the diamond war. She was curious where they were as neither of them gave any sort of semblance to any memory from that war. To be fair, she didn't exactly have the memory like her vice captain. He could remember you from his childhood days even if you haven't seen each other sense. She wondered if he would be disappointed seeing her now. Following the same path as the cousin that couldn't even handle a butterfly.
She never could see why Taiyo seemed so obsessed with getting with the girl. yet somehow he never could take control of the ditz of a royal. that girl had so many issues and was so in her head. yet he couldn't take control, keep things in check so she dumped him for someone who was more capable, someone who kept her in check in line. and what does her cousin do? Get depressed. lets the girl on to the estate to tear him to even more shreds. The healer had some balls and that was the respect Leonora held for the girl standing her own in a den of lions. She better had counted her blessing she wasn't there cause she wouldn't have played nice. then she had to literally talk taiyo up from the shredding only for him to show a side she didn't think was there. there was something more underneath the goofy heir's smile and it was truly annoyed and tired to hiding.
"Stated your name and business."Spoke Phrrya.
"Nala Serpheria. I have just signed on a week ago and was told this was my station"She spoke boredly.
"Rough around the edges huh? Fine we are short on men that can transport so lets see if you can handle this job."He muttered as she felt a nerve struck. Was he saying she as a woman couldn't handle a job like this. Escort jobs were so boring but such a breeze.
"You can count on me. "she said with a bored sigh deciding she was going to be bored most of this trip as she was already plotting what she was going to do. She was sure these supplies were going to hage. Which meant the green mantis just might get a bit of the bounty if it got there. As much as she would love to give it all to Kea. She was going to deny this shipment from reaching its destination. She was going to ensure it and all those who were escorting it was going to vanish into ashes. Nothing was going to last once in her sight,

Leonora moved with the supplies once given the order as she hated every boring moment of the walk. Her drive kept her calm and waiting even if all she needed was to finish this. She sighed looking up at the sky in thought. She wondered what her brother was doing or what he would have thought of her if he knew of what she was doing. Would he understand why she was doing this? She wondered what Leonard or Emily thought of her? Both probably disappointed she was going down this path. As much as she might claim to never want this path. She had to keep the end of her bet. Maybe if she completed what she was planning, she would take back up the mantle if given the chance. Though she was sure she wouldn't be a crimson lion, she would become a green mantis. Can't be that bad, her little brother was one and she never had a problem with the green mantis that took her cousin's girl.
She shaked the thoughts from her head as part of her knew she wasn't about to go back to the magic knights. They were a good outlet but still very restrictive, annoying when she still had to fall in line like a good little solider. The entirety of her existence was having to play nice. Having to behave herself. Having to handle the internal anger all vermillion had in one form or another. She put her parents through hell trying to contain her and her temper and need to burn things. She had the magic knights to thank for her learning to control herself and give her an outlet that was towards the enemy instead of the kingdom she served.
She walked with the supply chart as she stretched waiting till they were in the middle of nowhere " About here is where we are needing to be." She spoke seeing the cart stop as two Soliders and the sergant turned towards her as she tossed her weapon to the side moving away from the cart
"Where are you going Nala?"asked the sergant as Leonora stopped turning towards him as she stretched her arms behind her back " Oh me. I am about to not go anywhere other then burning you, your men, and the supplies to hell."She spoke with a smile removing her helmet "Playing guard is much like my time in the magic knights. It is boring, it is annoying."She said tossing it aside.
"You think you can take all of us?" asked Pyrrha blankly "Oh I don't think, I know I can take all of you and not have an issue" She poked seeing sergeant sit back against the supplies "Alright then, Lets see what you got former magic knight, just know when you fail, which you will. I will be taking you to prison from murder" he said "Fine with me cause that isn't about to happen." She spoke backing up slowly to get some distance from the two militants moved forward towards her. She lifted her hands up infront of her face before clapping twice.
She brought hands back down infront of her in a stance as feathers wrap around her hands forming into flame lit talons. "Lets see if you all still know how to fight "She said gently bouncing on the ball of her feet before taking off towards them, deciding to head straight till she saw them fire spells. She hated range fighters. They made it so much more difficult to do anything, let alonbe get close to them as she slide to a stop moving to the left of a spell exspanding into smoke as she growled in annoyance, still closing the distance as she got close to the first one hitting him hard with her talon, knocking him back into the second one, sending them both flying as she made quick suit to following her attacked grabbing ahold of the second one. She pulled him up before sending a talon through his chest , ending them both for intermediate damage each as she sighed flicking his body aside "Weak...But i guess that is what veterans do I suppose. Once you stop moving and lose the instinct. you become weak"she sighed

She flicked her wrist , clean of the blood on it as she looked towards the Sergant oh sighed in annoyance.
"Two veterans who couldn't handle one woman."He spoke in a grumble.
"To be fair Sargant Pyrrha. I found in the diamond war towards the end of it. The difference is. I was young and still developing. They stopped. I am a vermillion, I was a former Crimson lion." She spoke " And I have been lying to you this whole time. I am Leonora Vermillion. Oldest of Odete and Leve. And the reason I am here is simple. I grown bored of the life I held and with the recent stain on my family named Taiyo. I am seeking to end him as I know the magic knights are more then capable of doing so. but I don't trust them to actually do their jobs as this is a matter of Family, About honor and pride. I could have carried on as a crimson Lion, lead the loyalists to taking him in." She spoke seeing his grimoire float next to him as various chains came from it as He lifted his hand over it uttering something before two chain formed golems formed infront of her as she whistled at their size " Oh chains...That isn't going to do anything but make me wanna break those chains." she spoke back pedaling from the golem that came at her punching into the ground as she dug her talon into the ground infront of her dashing forwards, keping blow to the ground before sending an uppercut with her flame lit talon taking out the golem with intermediate damage as she catch the second golem's hand between her own "Now now big boy." She taunted pushing it up as she moved in closer sending another punch through the second golem as it took intermediate damage was well. the chains of it and the first one crumbling before disappearing as Leonora sighed "Come on...this can't be all you got...This is just sad. You make it not worth even fighting you "she said flexing her fingers as she looked towards him.
She could tell that taunt was getting under his skin as she smirked "Oh? Did I strike a nerve...is it my assumption you thought my gender would allow you to walk over me."She asked turning fully to him "How dare you think you mean anything like that to someone like me."She said. " You don't even hold a candle to some of the monsters I have seen in the magic knight squads. You are boring and I will be ending this now if you don't mind." She spoke.
"You filthy disgusting parasite. How dare you act like you hold any power in this situation. "he roared in anger. " You are a scum of former nobility. Rumors are right, you vermillion is a disgrace to all this kingdom stood for. "He said as she watched several chains form from around him, forming up into snake like creations. "I am going to enjoy tearing holes through your body and rid the world of your filthy existence. Every last one of you. "He said as the black of Leonora's eyes narrowed into a small orb. He hit a nerve you never spoke. She didn't care what happened to her as long as the end goal was completed. However, you never threatened hurting anyone else of her family. Especially the younger ones and the loyalist of the family. This was only her path. They did nothing to deserve the threat. That was something unforgivable.

"I am going to enjoy melting your chains and assist you into a eternal slow burn to hell by my flames. This is your punishment for deeming those of the loyal family members and those of the younger generation as filth. You are the lowest of the low and I will be enjoying myself too much." She stated feeling her talon gauntlets burn even brighter and hotter. She was pissed. she was levied. She raced towards him jumping over and sliding under his various chains stabling into the ground around her. Getting in close she sent a hard punch to his face as she sent him flying to the cart behind him, granting intermediate damage as she continued her pursuit following him up quickly as she pulled a hand back before striking it straight through him for the last time for an intermediate damage.
She calmed herself down as she felt him cough up blood as she pulled out her gauntlet, shaking her hand off "Never, ever threaten or downgrade my brother or anyone else again. If you hate anyone, only hate that person. "She spoke raising a hand to form a white flame covered feather " Now burn in hell where everyone else is...make sure to make room for two more specially saved. "She said tossing the feather on him and the supplies before sending two more to his partners as she sighed looking up at the sky "I'm coming for you taiyo...Be Prepared.."She breathed.
