Thread: Flirting with the Devil [Shaelinn and Dreamer-]

The corners of Arcadias mouth twitched to form a small smile. It amused her to imagine herself trying to commit a bank robbery, complete with ski masks, duct tape, and guns. Although Lara was most likely imagining a different situation where Arcadia just poofed into one of the vaults and magically took money and any of the valuables. Either way it still caused a spark of amusement to appear in Arcadias dark eyes. You dont need to worry about that, I promise not to terrorize any unsuspecting bankers out of their hard-earned cash. I have enough money to cover any expenses, and will start looking for a place to procure, tomorrow. As the demon spoke she couldnt keep the smile for widening and openly showing her amusement. Arcadia would not go back on her promise to Lara on this issue of money, nor would she be likely to go back on any promises she made to this human in the future technically. Once she had absorbed Laras soul then a powerful bond would be created between the two women, and to a certain degree, Lara would have control over Arcadia. It is also true that Lara will no longer be in danger of Arcadia laying a finger on her, but that doesnt mean the demon wont think twice about finding loop holes in the humans commands. Arcadia had a strong premonition that this relationship of theirs would turn out to be very interesting, indeed. The courteous tone of Laras voice raised red flags in Arcadias paranoid mind. Not one time since they had started this conversation had Lara shed her snarky and sarcastic manner hearing this dramatic change in voice felt strange to Arcadia. She had been under the impression that nothing less than a caustic remark could come out of Laras mouth. None the less, the demon gave a curt nod in respond to Laras request. Yes, I will try teaching you some tricks, as you call them. But the product of your efforts will depend on your aptitude for the magical arts. If you are spiritually inept at matter reconfiguration then you will be able to produce next to nothing. I wouldnt worry, though. It is very rare that a human doesnt possess some degree of magical potential. Tell me, what is your background, do any of your family members possess spiritual abilities? Arcadia tilted her head a fraction to the side as she examined Lara, waiting for her answer while getting to work on constructing the basic layout of what their first lesion will contain. In her mind, fighting supernaturals would take a mixture of magic and modern-day weapons. Take vampires for example, you can kill them like any normal human, but what works against you if their speed and strength, which is where magic comes in. Many techniques could be used to rectify the unequal advantages vampires have, if you were skilled and practiced in the art of using magic, that is. Arcadia waited patiently while Lara finished the ceremony. It was almost immediately after she said the last words when Arcadia watched as the luminescent ball of green light was pushed forth from the humans chest. The demon raised her hand as if to receive it while the floating orb traveled into the pentagram and brushed against Arcadias out stretched finger tips. Once the sphere of light made contact with skin it started to be absorbed by the demons body. As the soul entered Arcadias beings, through her blood stream, all of her veins seemed to glow as Laras essences traveled up her arm and into Arcadias chest. The soul was evenly distributed as it attached itself to Arcadia. There was one brilliant flash of light as the procedure came to an end, and then the light in the room returned to normal, as if nothing had changed. Arcadia felt the warmth of the new soul inside her chest as if she had just taken a shot of whiskey. The feeling was rather pleasant and Arcadia sighed with contentment. She looked at Lara and realized that the girl may be in a state of shock for a while as her body adjusted to the new feeling of emptiness. Yet, where the hole was left by the soul, would now be filled with Laras bond to the demon. Arcadia felt it as well and encountered an odd pull to the girl standing before her. With this connection she could feel superficial emotions radiating off of her partner and noted how strange it felt to have this sort of link with another person. Being bonded to someone was a completely new experience for Arcadia and it was difficult for her to figure out how to react. It would take time for both girls to adjust to this new situation and act accordingly. Arcadia vanquished these thoughts from her mind and glanced down at the floor. During the final processes of absorbing the soul, the pentagram had been broken she was now able to step out of its confines. She slowly took a step towards Lara, walking out of the chalk markings on the floor and smiled at her Boss. Well, that was interesting, enjoyable on my end. Was it as good for you as it was for me? Arcadia let a smirk creep across her face as she spoke her sarcastic comment. She didnt wait for one of Laras snappy replies as she took a turn about the room and stretched her limbs. Being trapped in one of those pentagrams always gave you a new perspective on life, and made you thankful that youre not trapped in a cage somewhere. Arcadia went over to the window and gazed at her surroundings, trying to figure out where and when she was. She decided that she would make a point of discussing the topic with Lara later, but at the moment, she was tired. Do you have any pajamas I could borrow? I wasnt exactly packed for an overnight stay when you pulled me out of Hell, Arcadia commented without looking away from the window, her voice had reverted to its neutral tone.
