Thread: The Pact (Walrus and Darkest_Fate)

By all the Divine Powers was the Kirin bored . Oh, she could sort of see from her ethereal plane and all. She'd gotten some idea that the people who had once venerated her had been or were suffering. Time flowed a little awkwardly in this realm, making it fairly impossible for the Kirin to really determine just how long she'd been in there or how long the suffering had been going on. There did seem to be a moment where the people all cried out at once. That had almost been enough to pull her from her place of power but, well, the Kirin hadn't felt like it at the time. Why go through all that trouble just to have to land on the mortal realm in a semi-corporeal form, likely the one closest to her natural spiritual self, and then have to go through all the work of saving the people? Pass. This time, however, she could feel someone entering the halfway point, that pool of water that the Kirin had long ago enchanted for the people she'd sworn to protect. The new spirit first glistened just on the edges of the incorporeal realm. It had drawn the Kirin's attention, mostly because it was new. After... however long she had been in here, anything new was vastly interesting. Plus, it was a change, which was also interesting in and of itself. The ripple continued and the Kirin watched for a few moments, before walking over. She let her own magics cross over, pulling at the creature and helping it enter more fully into her realm. Maybe she'd get lucky and... ... oh, was she ever lucky. She'd been expecting some matronly monarch or some bearded king. Wasn't the current ruler a king or something? Again time. But instead the shimmering spiritual force that had leaked into the Kirin's realm had the vibrancy of youth. On top of that, she seemed to have come here at least partially in body, and whoa, what a body. That was exactly why the Kirin had opted for water, well, that and she liked water and it sort of helped with abandoning earthly tethers and all. But this was definitely the most important reason to get a good look at whomever entered. At first the Kirin used her natural form, partially because she had to, and partially because it was more fun to awe the mortals. Hopefully being a royal she'd at least recognize the Kirin as the Kirin and not think she was some sort of unicorn embarrassing or dragon understandable, but c'mon. The creature did possess the right quadrupedal frame and all, complete with hooves. But brilliant green scales covered her lightly pink fur nearly up to her torso. The pale pink then covered most of her long body, smoothly slanting down the sides with more green scales again, mostly at the legs and upper thighs. Her tail tapered off into a multicolored mixture of scales and hairs that created a shimmering brush-like effect whenever she waved it. Her head had the slight mixture of reptilian combined with just a hint of the equine, complete with a small horn on the nose and a large pair of antlers jutting back. Her eyes shimmered and flowed with various colors and magics, and she used them to sweep up and down the form. Yes, she definitely wanted this one. The Kirin kept that thought and desire deeply buried she'd never form a pact if this human knew she could mimic her shape and take what she truly wanted out of that luscious young frame. So instead, the Kirin stepped forward, she lowered her head slightly to nearly look into the being's eyes. Did the king send his virginal daughter or a handmaiden? Please tell me that they haven't started virgin sacrifices again. That was... enjoyable, the first time around, but very awkward when I sent the girls back the Kirin raised her head, sighing inwardly, there's something so enjoyable in that taste. You wouldn't know of course. She looked back at the girl, who would soon get the impression that the magical, mystical, mythical spirit was waiting expectantly for a response.
