This probably wasn't the best idea. Not at all. The small stroll ended up a rather long journey. If only because the deer demon was so lost. What a horrible time to get lost. Merodi frowned, placing her hand on her stomach. She was starting to show a bit. Oh, when she found out she was pregnant it was the happiest and the most worrisome day of her life. She sighed, more anxious then ever before. Now that she had another life to worry about.
The deer demon jumped as she head something in the rustling leaves. It spooked her and she ran through the forest, clouded with mist and only made her even more afraid. After a moment she forced herself to stop running, and calm her breathing and heartrate. This stress was horrible for the baby, she was sure.

The smell of demons was pretty bad, if so it was very unnatural. It seems like ... the mist was creating the smell. It would be logical since demon hunters used to life around here and the smell hadn't really left here yet.
She would see a pitch black raven with blood-red eyes just hopping around on the ground. It seemed to not be affect by the smog as it was trying to savage for food. It however soon looked at the deer-demon and flew off. Like what a normal bird would do in fear of something ... yet it looked like it was needed elsewhere and that it was really ... something else.
After at least two minutes within the smog. Time was almost lost within this smoke screen, She would hear fast foot-steps of what it sounded like humans running. It was too far within the fog however and the running seemed to be not only in front of her, but behind and to her sides. However the running soon passed as if they echoed in the distance.
This was however .. just a set up for what will happen next. It all really depends on what the dear demon would do.

Merodi closed her eyes. The ominous feeling of the mist and the whole place brought her into such a state of fear she wasn't sure on what to do. That odd raven too....this place didn't seem to have a lot of animals, not at this time. It was too quiet with the mist. Her ears perked up, moving in all directions as the sounds of footsteps came to her. She shuddered, eyes wide as her mind quickly took in the situation, nostrils flaring as she scented the air around her. She touched her stomach again, as if to comfort the child when it was her that was so afraid. She couldn't allow herself to be afraid, she had to defend herself, she couldn't let something happen to her. Not now, not with another life in her hands. Not this child.
Merodi turned sharply, running as fast as she could in any direction. Whoever she came upon, she was sure she could jump over them, dodge, or something! But she couldn't just stand there and wait for them to hunt her down. Kill her, or whatever the strangers had planned.

When the Deer demon was about to run for her life. She saw something that would make her run in the OTHER way in absolute terror.
A warrior, not just any warrior. It was a warrior that looked allot like the warrior that tried to kill her an uncontrolled time ago was walking towards her. It was not the same warrior as this one had very different armor and weapon than the other one. This one had a very evil-looking two-handed battle ax. It's demonic-looking shape would send the message similar to the one that the warrior that tried to kill her (and almost succeeded) sent was similar.
The major difference however was also something that the Deer demon would not expect. This warrior was an auccual human. A Evil-looking 'I can kill you just by staring at you' kind of evil to be sure, but evil -looking nonetheless.
What would also terrorfy her even more was that this warriors armor was painted a little darker than the warrior that she saw a long time ago and that he was not alone. Two-more warriors walked beside the other warrior. Again the two warriors had a different evil-looking set of armor that was similar to the other warrior. However both of them looked like they where more tooled up for defense as they carried a tower-shield that was almost the size of the warrior itself and a barbaric broad-sword.
If the deer-demon would turn around, she would have seen three more of those evil-looking plate warriors. One had a halberd, another carrying a Katana and a barbarian longsword, the final one has a very demonic and evil-looking scythe.
If the deer-demon looked to the left, 3 more of those plate warriors. This time they all have a shield and some one-handed weapon, one of them was even using a zanbatô with one hand! Showing there strength greatly if these warriors can use weapons like that with only one hand.
The other side was no more different. Three more warriors was on her other side. They had weapons that she had never seen before. One is carrying a Zweihänder, standard blade. Another carries a Nodachi, however he is using it properly for more damage and the finally one was carrying a Barbaric version of the Two-handed Claymore, very heavy, yet very effective.
They where standing about 20 feet away from the female deer-demon. All of them had about 6 things in common with each-other. 1- They all have very evil-looking plate armor that the people of the west normally used. 2- They all have very demonic looking and very evil looking weapons and shields. 3- Despite being only humans, they are very tall. The shortest one is about 6'10'' where as the tallest was 7'4'', and average of 7' was there height. 4 - They all send that same message that the warrior she encountered all those days ago sent, although not as badly as he did, since there was more of them. It was stronger than before, 5- they all had that same dark red for there armor color and 6- They all had similar markings as the warrior that nearly killed her in the past had etched onto there armor.
In total, 12 warriors where surrounding the deer-demon with looks that can kill. They are each spaced in such a way that if she tries to escape, she would get cut-down by two warriors. They are in a perfect circle around the deer-demon.
She was surrounded.

Merodi stopped instantly, seeing the warriors in front of her. She turned to run in the other direction, only to turn in another direction but each way she turned they were there, surrounding her. her heart pounded and her body was shaking with fear. Too familiar, too, too familiar. Just the sight of them brought pain to her newly healed arm.
Merodi remembered that armor design, that strange warrior that attacked her for no apparent reason!! There was no place to run, nothing Merodi could do to defend herself. The sight of all those warriors and the feeling of being trapped was too much for the deer. Suddenly the shaking stopped, and the deer closed her eyes, before feinting and landing on her back on the ground.

Some of the warriors where slightly confused that the deer-demon didnt even make a break for it and just fainted right then and there. However there leader, Crom, was allone walking towards the limp body of the deer-demon. He was chuckleing, then laughing.
"WARRIORS! WE HAVE JUST CAPTURED THE SIREN!" they where shocked at what this was, this deer demon was the one that sent there maraders insaine and some was even lost to them. They all chanted 'blood for the blood god!' three times as they where all releaved that the cause that nearly sent there tribe to be gone in a few years is now compleaty gone.
Crom soon picked up the fainted deer and started to carry her towards there Village. It used to be the Demon-hunters Village, yet it is not anymore. It is theres.
Surrounding Crom are his warriors. Humans that can litraly tear other humans limb from limb, people who like crom. Had been lost then founed by the Dark ones. They surrounded the quarter-demon and would lay down there lifes to protect the warrior.
(OCC -I say quarter as a Half-demon being possessed by a full demon is essentaly a Quarter-demon? (Lolwut?) -OCC)

((wut indeed XP))
Merodi slowly awakened as she was being carried. Carried...she wasn't dead yet. That was the little relief that was given to her. She couldn't believe it! Her body giving in like that when she had a child to protect!! She stayed quiet, she stayed still. There was nothing she could do in this predicament. One of those instints of animals, to play dead. Or unconcious. She needed to think. She had no time to run in fear, or react too quickly. She had to actually take the time to think.
Why? What did those warriors want with her? Why had that one attacked her in the first place? She just couldn't understand. But she needed to survive, she needed to protect her child, and that meant ignoring instincts. She would even have to fight, if that was what called of her.

If Merodi would take the risk and at least peak, she would see that she is entering a village. Two marauders that have similar markings as the warriors looked like they where almost finished the wall. The village was however the Demon hunters village. However now there was no smell at all, nothing can be smelled.
Crom simply grunted as all but two of those warriors simply disbanded to start again on making this village whole again.
The four of them eventually reached the house, his house. The manor that he lived in. The two others opened the door and they soon entered another room. This only had two seats as Crom placed the still limp-Merodi in the seat that was farthest away from the door.
Someone also came in after the four of them. Rias, this time however he had that same Pitch-black Raven perched on his staff.
"You two ..." Crom said to the two other warriors.
"Keep this room under guard until i say you are relieved." He said rather sternly as the two warriors nodded and exited the room. Taking guard up both sides of the sliding door as they closed it behind them.
"Whhat do you want withh her my lord." Rias said, standing beside the warrior who took up the chair that is closest to the door.
"Do not ask rias, this is the siren I was talking about." Crom said as rias only went 'Oh' as Crom took of his helmet and passed it over to Rias, mumbling. Rias weakling keeped a good grip on the helmet as he was now carrying it.
Crom then took out a flask of water and opened the flask and splashed the deer- demon in face quickly. That should wake her up. He was sitting in the seat that was about three feet away from each-other.
However this was him, the warrior that went after her and nearly killed her in a blood frenzy. his hands where weaved in front of him and he looked at the Deer-demon with a really inquisitive glare at her.
"Welcome ... to my abode." He said to her when she wakes up. It was also the same voice as before, yet it didn't have the blood lust of battle within it.

Merodi jumped in alert as the water was splashed on her. She wiped at her face as she turned wide eyes toward the person in front of her. The water was completely unnecessary! The anger on the rude awakening (even though she wasn't asleep in the first place) was forgotten when she took in the familiar appearance of the the man. That voice, that scent, everything.
The sudden wave of fear that fell over her felt like a convulsion and she gagged on it, forcing back sobs as her body shook. "P-please let me go..." she said, her voice as shaky as the rest of her as she gripped onto the seat she was placed on. Mostly to keep her from falling onto the floor again.

"Ohh Miss, I think we would have a nice little ... talk here." He said as he then looked at her.
"My name is Crom. This sorcerer beside me is Rias, and we have lots of questions for you ,Siren." He said, very sadistically.
"We wonttt lett you go untill you have anssserewd my lordsss and my own quessstionsss." Rias hissed, his inactive tentacles flopped to life as they took both sides of the two others in here.
"The first one is simple, what the hell are you doing within our territory? You have already caused enough damage to some of our marauders and scouts, you have even KILLED one siren!" he said, his anger very apparent as he asked that question and added that statement. Rias then had his turn to talk.
"Now my lord. You ssshould go with eassyer quessstionsss like her name before going into thosssse complicated quessstionsss. Ssso Missssey, who are you?" Rias asked, the tentacle that came out of his hunchback was pointing towards her.

Questions? Questions?! What answers could she give them? Why would they want answers from her. She was just a simple deer demon! She continued to shake, cowering in her seat as she flinched with each loud word spoken. "K-Killed...? I-I never..." she began, her voice small and practically unheard. She could barely find her voice in all this fear. She had so many questions herself. Why did they call her a siren? How could she kill anyone? Why would they think she did, she would never hurt anyone!
Merodi turned her wide brown eyes toward the other person...Rias...yes, that was his name. He was very creepy, but her fear of Crom made this man seemed like the good guy. But they were both bad people. They were both horrible and she had to be careful with what she did. Who was she? That was a much easier question to answer then the other one.
"M-Merodi....I-I live in the mountains...n-not too far from here..." she stared at the tentacle as she spoke. One of the oddest things she's seen. She was nervous about everything though, and she continued to press herself against her seat, trying to distance herself away from them without actually moving. Afraid doing so would bring about punishment. And she knew punishment very well.

"Yes you did Siren. You have sent a few of my marauders to there DEATH! out of 7 marauders that went insane because of you, 4 of those where lost to us, we cannot be able to get them back! 1 of those marauders DIED when he went insane. There was only one report of the only scout that actually remembered something." Crom said as he then stands up and looked down at Merodi. Then went into her face.
"He said that they heard someone singing and soon his own comrades, his own brothers in arms started to ether gap out, or completely go insane and started to SLAUGHTER each other! Only the wood-elf's back where I came from had similar effect on my marauders when they sing. I myself went out in search of this 'Sirens call' only to found you and that blasted dragon! You had KILLED my people and I don't take kindly to people who harm my tribe!" He said as he was about to strike Merodi with his fist that was covered with that chaos armor at how enraged he was at this demon when the other tentacles of Rias wrapped around Crom's arm.
"Not yet my lord. Ssshe has to refussse to anssswer our quessstionss!" Rias said, he is apparently a little more experienced with interrogations that Crom witch is straight forward.
"..." Crom didn't say anything as his arm lowered from striking the deer-demon. He then sit back down, just glaring at Rias as his seconds tentacle unwrapped from Crom's arm.
"I am sssorry. My lord hasss some ... anger issssusess when it comesss to this tribe, it isss a dieing tribe and he would protect it like how you would protect the one within you." Rias said as he laughed as one of the tentacles poked her stomach, it was gentle enough not to harm the baby, but just the feeling that the tentacle had would send shivers down her spine.
"Rias ..." Crom said as he started simply rub his temples in anger. There was days where he would just want to smash the sorcerer's skull in, and there where times where he would actually be thankful for the sorcerer. He was having the former thought coming into his head about now.
"Now ... back to my question. Why are you here? why where you within our fog?" He said, starring at Merodi with a anger-filled glare at her.

Merodi had the urge to feint again with Crom towering over her, ready to strike her. How was she to know of his people going insane!? All because of her singing? Her singing had never had that affect before. How could she be blamed for something so unintended? She would never want to kill anyone.
Merodi had never been so grateful to a stranger, including one so creepy. She was still shaking, and felt that all this wasn't the best thing for her child. Oh, she hoped it was alright. Although she was grateful to him, she wasn't one to allow herself to be poked in the stomach. Including at such a time. She glared at the man, but lost the will to when she was asked more questions.
"I got lost in the fog, I had no idea where I was going...I'm really sorry, I meant no ill intent."

Crom sighed as he shook his head.
"Under normal circumstances, you would have been killed on sight for the damages that you have caused onto our tribe. Yet since you didn't know, how is it fare to harm someone that didn't know what she was doing." Crom said to the girl, it seems that even he has standards when it comes to punishing people.
"If you where doing it on purpose and knew that it hurts our tribe but cared less. Then you would be much less breathing." He said, his anger seemingly starting to dissipate as he was finally calming down.
"However ... I will tell you one thing, do NOT sing around this area, or reveal it's location. That is all I ask and we will get along just fine." He said as he had a rather serous look on his face.
"This tribe is dieing and I don't want anything to make it die quicker while I am trying to get it back onto it's feet." He then added.
The tentacle that poked Merodi stopped the poking and went back to it's host's side.
"There are many quessstionsss that you have buzzzing around in that head of yours. Do not worry, we may look evil, but we are the most humane of our kind than sssome of the other tribes back home." Rias said as the bird then leaped off of the staff and perched itself upon Merodi's shoulder.
"I do have to ask a few more quessstionsss though. Crom only wants the facts from here and now, I on the other hand want to know everything about one person." Rias said as the familiar then jumped off and perched itself upon Rias's staff again.
"I however don't have many more questions left with me. Yet like what Rias said, you have questions in your head ... i will answer one though, consider it ... a apology gift." He said as he then asked for his helmet from Rias. Which in turn gave him the plated helmet.

Merodi listened with intense relief. She could never understand how her songs could bring such a horrible thing onto his people. They have always brought joy in people's lives and entertained them. She placed her hand on her stomach. Maybe to protect from the poking, just in case that Rias decided to do so again.
"I have no questions to ask, just letting me go is an apology enough. Thank you for your sincerity, I feel horrible for the things my songs have done." to think, a life was taken practically by her hands. By what she had thought as a gift. "I will answer anymore questions you have, at any time."
Merodi went to stand, ready to leave this place as soon as possible. But her body felt weak and she felt nausious. She placed a hand over her mouth just in case. Merodi had been right this stress had not been good for the baby, much less herself. The constant fear and adrenaline left her energy drained now that it was over.
