Me and Judas were paralyzed in awe of the being that stood before us, blue light flooding Judas' eyes and my uh..  vision? The woman before us was clearly not a human, as she had just referred to herself as The Spirit of Druidic Arts.. Judas stayed quiet, which was surprising at I had expected him to make some sort of snarky remark to the spirit, maybe even call her a bitch a few times. But it was clear that he wasn't stupid enough to provoke somebody who most likely completely outmatched us both due to her ability to easily paralyze our bodies in awe of the oceanic splendor of blue that she had showed us.

"Lidia: Now, I will ask the questions. And you will answer me with haste, do you two understand?" The grip on our bodies that had prevented us from moving had tightened significantly, Judas weeping in pain slightly before regaining his composure.. And it-
"Alexis: A-ah. Ow.." Did she just cause me pain? Judas looked to me in surprise at my sounds of discomfort from being held in place by the invisible force, not expecting me to make any sounds of pain or discomfort in response to being held in place due to my nature preventing me from feeling any sort of physical pain. Perhaps this woman possessed the skill [Soul Caliber] like Judas? It would explain the pain, since if she had effected my very soul with this power then it would make sense that even a being without any conventional senses such as myself would be able to feel any pain from being gripped.

"Lidia: Alright then, first question. Why have you two been littering my compound with you're disgusting filth?" We had no idea what she had been talking about.. Filth? Maybe it was because we had blown up some stuff and destroyed her vines, assuming that it was her Aethyr that had been controlling those vines and made them come after us in the first place.
"Judas: I'm sorry.. I don't quite understand, this cave belongs to you?" Judas spoke in a calm, respectful tone, as to not possibly anger the woman.
"Lidia: It is not a cave, human. It so happens that.. No, you don't need to know of that. Answer the question." We still didn't understand her question. She was obviously  unfavorable to outsiders like us who intruded on her 'Compound' as she calls it.
"Alexis: .. If you're referring to this vines, then we merely acted in self defense as they were aiming to attack us. And if it's about the destruction in the cave, blame the dipshit next to me." This warranted Judas to give me a worried look.
"Judas: H-hey, you dick..!"  Lidia then looked down at me cupped in Judas' hands still, then smirked a bit.

"Lidia: You are one with the Earth, young stone. A Voyager, I take it.
"Alexis: Yeah, exactly.." I didn't know where she was going with this, if what she meant by one with the Earth referred to me literally being made out of Earth then it would make some sense, but since this is another world from my original this probably meant some sort of other cryptic bullshit.
"Lidia: Yggdrasill burns strong within you, young stone.. Perfect. I shall teach you the Druidic Arts, come." She snatched me out of Judas' hand, carefully holding me in her hand as she left Judas paralyzed and began walking away into the magnificent blue energy, which warranted his attention and mine even more.
"Alexis: Hey, I don't know what the fuck you're playing at here lady.. But if you're taking me somewhere, then I'm bringing the guy with me as well." Lidia looked at me, staring blankly at me topside like she was angry.. Or annoyed? Her face looked so ambiguous, it was impossible to tell what her facial expressions represented.
"Alexis: And besides, didn't you say that you would make us yours? I assumed that would include both of us.. So, take him if you're taking me somewhere. I refuse to leave with you without him." I knew that the chances of me defeating her was most likely slim, but I wouldn't just allow her to abandon Judas while I went off to learn whatever she was going to teach me. And she picked me up against my will either way, so I wasn't going to let her take me anywhere without consent. 


"Lidia: You are...  arrogant, boy. And yet, somehow I don't dislike it all that much. Ha.. Perhaps I am getting to old, fine then. I shall allow the human to come as well." Lidia stared at Judas as he gulped in fear, and a few seconds later he got up in surprise as he was able to finally move his body again. He stumbled over to the both of us, wiping sweat off of his forehead as he sighed in relief that she didn't leave him there paralyzed.
"Judas: So, uh.. Are the 3 of us friends..?" Would be the worst thing he could say to her, as she clearly didn't like him.. Lidia stood there baffled at his question for a few seconds, she did just threaten to leave him there so it was confusing to her that he would say such a thing, although he was only saying it to lighten the mood up a bit.
