Death and Rebirth: Roleplay with TheNovaSwag #2

Chapter 43

M:   Askad was coiled in a corner and resting his head on his arms, and those on his tail as he watched the interrogation. He wouldn't react to anything, it was like a statue was watching the two Brits.

The naga was actually nodding off slightly when he heard Chrysalis crack, though he didn't know how to react to it.

"So that's it, huh, she's dead after all," he muttered, taking the six feet under literally, "I never should have believed otherwise."

N:   "No, she's alive alright," Saxon spoke as he was freed, discreetly asking the guard to bring a medic so Chrysalis doesn't die, "he's saying that she's six feet underground, like a sort of basement, which really narrows down the options. Normal houses don't usually have basements as it's more expensive to add them, but the buildings which definitely have basements are churches."

Ignoring the fact that he looked like he came from a battlefield, well in some sense he did, he walked up to the naga and continued, "There are two local parish churches in the neighboring towns, one's to the north and the other to the south of the castle, so we will be able to search them for Sofia." He turned to Wren, who was comfortably sitting on a chair, having watched the torture like some sort of show. "Wren, do you think you can have the soldiers dispatched?"

"On normal circumstances, yes," she answered, "but this is a church you're talking about, they are not going to exactly welcome the soldiers with welcome arms. First I have to notify BE, and since he is the head of the church, he will give me permission to enter armed."

M:   "Then let us go," Askad said, determination filling his voice as his eyes regained their flame-like color, "I'm sick of hiding, if my daughter is alive then I will get her back no matter what, and if that means exposing the Eternals to the humans then so be it."

Askad looked to Wren, "BE is out of commission, remember, his word doesn't mean anything for the next month, besides, wouldn't the church want to help the innocent, or does religion work differently for the Short-Lives?"

Without waiting for a response, he transformed into his snake form and slithered out of the dungeons to rally his friends, if the British couldn't save Sofia, then he will take matters into his own hands.

N:   Wren and Saxon watched as Askad slithered away, the latter slightly jumped at the sight of him but he pushed it aside as much as he can. "Don't tell me he's going to the churches as that," the hybrid spoke as they made their way out of the dungeons, "he's literally asking to be killed."

"I feel if they saw either of Uskaine or Askad, things could go south," Saxon agreed as they stepped out, only to come across Wales.

The Welshman gave the entity a once over before asking, "Grandfather, did you just murder someone?"

"Almost," he brushed aside, "anyway, since you are acting on Albion's behalf, could you grant us permission to send troops to the two local parish churches."

Wales blinked in confusion, but when they filled him in, he immediately granted their wish and said that he will notify BE in case someone asked. The pair thanked him as they went to gather the soldiers.

Julian had followed Uskaine to the library, and when he saw that the Eternal was alone, he awkwardly entered and sat on a nearby chair. A couple of minutes passed, and when the silence was getting to him, he spoke.

"Askad is just distressed from what he had to experience. Don't take it to heart as I'm sure he wouldn't have spoken to you like that. Although I agree that to watch someone getting tortured isn't the right choice, maybe he needed some sort of release, besides, we don't always think rationally when it comes to family."
