Toaru village... 

It's a small village way out in the boonies in which rarely anything happens, so when the unofficial undefeated lioness was sent out to investigate a rumor originating from that village, well let's just say she wasn't too ecstatic about it.

"This is such bullshit!"

Mereoleona mumbles to herself as she walks toward the village. She had landed about a mile away and walked the rest since it would be a pain in the ass to do any investigating if they knew who she was, so she was currently walking through the marketplace wearing an old ratty robe to keep her identity a secret.

"When Julius told me I had an important mission I thought there'd be a battle! But no, I'm out here checking up on a goddamn rumor!"

She quietly continued her annoying rants and she recalled the meeting from this morning.

***Flashback***

"So Julius, I hear you've got a mission for me, eh? It better be a good one!"

"Ah Mereoleona I'm glad you could make it, yes I do indeed have a mission for you, have you heard of Toaru village?"

"five miles past the middle of nowhere right?"

"Yes it is, and there have been rumors popping up about a devil originating from Toaru."

"So I get to fight a devil eh? Sounds like fun!"

***End Flashback***

"And that jackass had the nerve to wait until I was less than a mile away to tell me that no one has actually seen this so-called devil. I'm definitely kicking his ass when I get back."

After about an hour and a half of talking to people, she finally found a decent lead other than people saying 'damn devil' or 'needs to learn its place she even got that monster deserves to die. At this point, it was safe to assume this devil was in this town due to the people's lack of fear and general disgust.

She was currently in an old church with the Father while her fire paw slowly squeezed his head.

You see when she started asking questions about the location of this devil the old man just started rambling about how he could save everyone willing to pay the proper tribute and how god's grace shines upon bla bla bla and more bull shit like that. Safe to say that this pissed her off, so going off his rantings she figured that the priest knew something. She dropped her cloak and grabbed the cocky father by the head with her flame paw with a scowl on her face.

"Wanna cut the shit this time?" Mereoleona said, her voice laced with malice. She didn't like having her time wasted, especially when there was no fight to be had.

Instantly regretting his choice, the less-than-holy pastor quickly stammered out a location by the river in the forest. Mereoleona walks outside after throwing the priest into the wall for pissing her off. seeing that it was already getting dark out; she took a deep breath of the fall air and set off toward the forest.
