  History
  
  Spoiler: History

  Childhood
  

  • Family: Taji's parents were located in a small village within Ryke. He inherited his dark magic from them, and has once called it the 'pride of his family'.

  Enslaved
  Taji was bought as slave by a noble quaestor's family in a northern province of the East Empire, in a city by the riverside known as Giliae. Though this quaestor's family is known amongst the poplace as role models of grace, humbleness and kindness, to their slaves, they are/were anything but humane. Taji's eyes were permanently damaged and scarred during this period, but his fur has always maintained plush and maintained for reasons.
  

  • Capture: ???
  • Job: ???
  • Social Life:
    • Lirek: Lirek is like a second father figure to Taji, one that deeply helped him suddenly adjust to his new life as a slave.

  Escape
  A large-scale escape movement. However, there was a betrayer amidst their ranks. Many slaves were killed, but many managed to run as well. Lirek & Taji's goal was Ryke after their escape.
  

  • Escape Reason: ???

  Running Away (Refer to Runaway Slaves Part 1 & 2)
  Lirek & Taji found it difficult to survive in the wilderness whilst on the run, especially with Lirek's criss-crossing and bone-deep scars on his legs. Whilst on the brink of despair, Ninelle, Kurikara and Tyrmar saved and revitalized them, additionally becoming their escorts to the edge of Ryke's border. Whilst travelling, they met Ceylan, who healed all of Taji's scars, and revived Lirek after Nashi's assassination.
  
  Last heard
  Taji was accompanied by Lirek as he went back to Ryke to reunite with his family and old friends. Although his mother & father had already died, he was happy to reunite with old elders, friends and familiar faces. The pair stated that they would soon be travelling the continent with the Holy City of Vegard as one of their key future destinations in order to repay their debt to Ceylan.

  History
  
  Spoiler: History

  Childhood
  

  • Family: Lirek's parents are/were a reclusive, travelling sort that stay in the wilderness. After being enslaved for decades since a very young age, he finds their memory fuzzy and has no clue where they currently are located.

  Enslaved
  Lirek was bought as slave by a noble quaestor's family in a northern province of the East Empire, in a city by the riverside known as Giliae. Though this quaestor's family is known amongst the poplace as role models of grace, humbleness and kindness, to their slaves, they are/were anything but humane. Lirek served as a river courier for the family, delivering watertight goods and packages through water routes day in and day out, travelling across vast and treacherous distances with harsh deadlines. Lirek's ears and legs were permanently damaged and scarred during this period. It was only with Nashi's help in finding a doctor were Lirek's legs not rendered lame.
  

  • Capture: ???

    • Taji: A close one, like family.

  Spoiler: Dialogue/Reference Dump

  “Yeah, I played dead and slipped away when they chased after the others. You know I’m good with herbs and medicine.”
  
  “Nala is fine. She’s with her father. We had to split up to evade pursuers. Enough talk though, come in, the nighttime chill sets in earlier nowadays.”
  
  "Ah, is that your dinner for tonight? Let me help you cook!" "You guys remember my cooking right?"
  
  "I'm happy things are going so well for all of us. I couldn't even dream of escaping in the past..."
  
  ---
  The felinefolk in question kept her head lowered, a gentle smile plastered on her face, even as she casually reached to the side and stole Lirek's Curved Dagger D. Without a word, her paw waved, and Lirek's head was abruptly left rolling on the floor, a trail of blood leading back to his fallen body.
  
  "I'm sorry it had to be this way."
  
  Suddenly, a shadow rushed out, and a gash was left on Nashi's cheek, deep and unrelenting. Without a word, she grabbed her assailant after his futile last attempt and stabbed him in the stomach. "Taji, my dear, I told you escaping was a bad idea." She smiled softly at her fellow felinefolk, who was unable to resist nor fight back any longer due to the drug's effects.
  
  "You fucking bitch..." His first words of profanity were spat out with difficulty, his tears rolling down his cheeks uncontrollably.
  
  Nashi merely smiled before turning and narrowing her eyes at Ceylan.
  
  "That just leaves the unexpected element, the healer." She announced softly, though her eyes wandered carefully towards the pair that didn't eat.
  
  Kicking Taji at Kurikara, she dashed towards Ceylan across the hall with an unnatural speed.
  
  "Finally showing your full colours, human?" Nashi growled lowly at Kurikara, with a tone unbelievably hostile compared to her previous sweetness and sincerity. Her eyes quickly flickered between the approaching blade and punch, gauging the attack before parrying the nodachi with her bloody dagger and stabbing her claws towards Kurikara's fist.
  
  ---
  The Clash
  Even before Ceylan's words had left his mouth, a flash of dark navy flew past his vision, with Valhyr standing firmly in front of his summoner with every intention of prioritizing his safety. Steadying his ground and bending his hind legs, he braced for the attack, but before it could even reach him the white warrior aggressively intercepted.
  
  "Finally showing your full colours, human?" Nashi growled lowly at Kurikara, with a tone unbelievably hostile compared to her previous sweetness and sincerity. Her eyes quickly flickered between the approaching blade and punch, gauging the attack before parrying the nodachi with her bloody dagger and stabbing her claws towards Kurikara's fist.
  
  Blood met blood as the nodachi was unsufficiently parried, the blade scraping Nashi's shoulder as her pale fur was stained with red. On the other hand, Nashi's claws dug deep into hollow metal, infecting Kurikara's inner armour with an unknown blight. Her face visibly showed her confusion at not piercing flesh, scowling as if regretful, whilst her body continued to battle.
  
  ---
  
  "What do you think it means, to have your heritage contain 5 generations of slavery under the most two-faced noble family in the empire? Naturally, I've only learnt from the best." She chuckled to herself, but perhaps due to the distraction of battle, the self-deprecation in her tone was hard to miss.
  
  "They're furious, you know? They say the other magistrate and prefects are laughing behind their backs. They're lashing out on everyone you left behind, Taji. Why should I let you run away and be happy, whilst all the elderly and young you left behind lose their lives? I'm not resigned."
  
  "Shut up! How else can I help everyone?! Without my status, I could never have smuggled that doctor to save Lirek's legs!" Nashi exploded, her fur standing upright as she turned to glare at the other felinefolk.
  
  "Even if everyone we know finds freedom, more will just be enslaved again! What do you want me to do? What can I do?" She ranted furiously, though fatigue seemed to carry through every word.
  
  ---
  
  "Those closest to me?" She whispered icily, her blue eyes slowly glazing back over towards Ceylan with a strange, thoughtful pause.
  
  "I think you're terribly misunderstanding something here, healer." She began with a mocking chuckle, her tail gradually swishing from side to side with a more calm and composed pace as her mood stabilized.
  
  "These two are just one of many that look up to me. One's a transport vehicle across frozen waters, and the other's just a lapdog for the quaestor's daughter. My only child is locked up in a dungeon thanks to their transgressions and grand plan of escape. So, what does your twisted sense of righteousness say now? I should start with protecting those closest to me right?" She laughed lightly, her eyes narrowing into slits as she answered her own hypothetical questions. "And that means, bringing back their heads." Nashi smiled softly, tilting her head towards the beastkin, her expression reminiscent of the unfathomable gentleness she wore when she first decapitated Lirek.
  
  "Hah, I actually can't believe I've been listening to your nonsense for so long. How could a High Priest ever relate to the sufferings and sacrifices a mere slave has had to endure? I really let someone like you make me question my conviction for a moment..." Her thoughtless ramblings gradually faded in volume, leaving only the sound of her bloody dagger being casually spun around to fill the silence.
  
  "Do I look like someone that needs help? If there's any help I need, it would be for ending the lives of all the beastkin here." She smirked at Kurikara, as her eyes darted around, seemingly lazy but acute. The situation was turning unfavourable for her. But as she readied herself to make a move, she was suddenly overwhelmed.
  
  ---
  
  Though Ceylan's repeated pleadings fell mostly on deaf ears, Tyrmar's venom struck deep. Deeper than any actions could've shown.
  
  With her limbs restrained and crushed by tendrils of darkness, Nashi simply laid there thoughtfully with a lowered head, smiling sadly as thorns whipped her back and Tyrmar cracked open her ribs.
  
  As the shadows and vines receded, the center of the room was left a garish bloodbath. Tyrmar and Kurikara were left standing over Nashi's malformed body, lying in a pool of her own blood and smashed bone.
  
  "You're right." She spoke up in response despite her state, barely a spot of her fur left unstained by crimson.
  
  "My dear Nala, her children, then her grandchildren, will all end up the same as I did."
  
  "But... it's not the worst is it? In this empire, what other path is there for beastkin like us to take?"
  
  "I made a choice. A simple one. I became powerful and relied upon, as best a slave could. I smuggled doctors, food, help to all the slaves that worked under me. I always thought that this was the best thing I could've done, to ease the lives of everyone that suffers under the hands of that wretched family."
  
  "As long as I was a dog, I could save and help many people."
  
  "So when you all escaped, I naturally had to help kill you. To stay a dog, and help more slaves for generations to come."
  
  "Lirek's blood is not the only one that has stained my hands. I've already killed many escapees."
  
  "But tell me, was my choice wrong?"
  
  "Should I have tried to escape?"
  
  "But then again... I don't think I could've bore thinking of those that I had left behind. So perhaps this is the best ending for me."
  
  Nashi smiled for the final time, closing her eyes with the faintest chuckle.

  Ceylan:
  “I'd like to offer you a deal.” He said, trying to muster up what courage and authority he could muster (which honestly wasn't a whole lot). “I can't let you return to your previous life, not after the suffering you caused. However, I believe you when you said it wasn't out of a malicious intent. So I'd like to offer you a way out.” He tried to carefully debate his next words. “I won't ask you to abandon your child and I can't travel further into the East Empire with you to help you save them, as the risk of them abusing my healing is simply too high, but I can promise you that I'll do whatever I can to give you a better life if you are able to return with your child.”
  
  In fact, he already had an idea on how to do so. “There's a city in the North of Kuridan. From what I've gathered, they're looking for a new bishop. If I'm to take over there, I'll have the political leverage needed to shelter refugees from the East Empire. Of course I'll do whatever I can to stop slavery regardless of what happens or where it occurs, as such is my duty as a Syncretist priest, but I'd gladly welcome you there in particular.” He wished he could offer her more than just a promise that came after the big risk she'd have to take to try and free her child, but sadly enough, he didn't know what he could do. “If there's any help I can give you, other than from causing suffering to others, I'd be willing to hear you out as well.” That was the best he could give her, using Empathy E to back up his claims, in as far as his actions hadn't already done so.

  "You are so strange. So very strange." She smiled funnily, wiping away a stray tear from her eye. "You were not afraid of me even once were you? Even after I murdered right in front of your eyes, threatened your life and scoffed at your words?" She stared at the priest with a faint amused scrutiny. "You're so strange. But maybe you just had that much confidence in yourself." She shook her head thoughtfully, watching the last specks of golden dust flutter and disappear. In just a few seconds, everything had returned to normalcy. The cold stone ruins, bloody messes and upturned dishes still scattered the area, just with the addition of two renewed living bodies.
  
  "Kuridan huh... the slaves sent from there were always so rambunctious." She smiled at the memory as she slowly stood up, her crimson fur dripping with blood a startling sight. "I'll take you up on your offer. It's not like I have any choice left at this point. Without Taji and Lirek's heads, they will punish my daughter to punish me." She sighed slowly, her paw tapping her arm rhythmically as she started scrutinizing her future plans.
  
  "Priest, give me your fur. Taji you as well. Lirek they won't care about too much, but Lady Regina is furious that her favourite toy ran away. The rug made from your fur has patches on it, shed enough to fix it and I'll be able to coax her." She explained matter-of-factly, turning towards Taji as she addressed him. "You can continue to hate me, but for the sake of those you left behind, you should help me." She stared him down, with Taji averting his gaze first after a glance towards Ceylan.
  
  "If you thought your escape plan was good Taji, trust me. Mine will be better. You might have more than just a couple of beastkin on their way to you, priest." She chuckled relaxedly, relieved but surprised at having faced an unexpected emotional catharsis whilst slave hunting.
  
  "Now, tell me more of this northern Kuridan city, high priest. If I am to make an escape plan, I need clear directions." Nashi chuckled with renewed vitality whilst slicing through fur, her lively friendliness reminiscent of when they first met her at the ruins' door.
  
  Ceylan:
  “It's called the Holy City of Vegard, it's located just off the coast connected by a long bridge, but the path here...” He'd continue to share what he knew about the city and its surroundings, as well as what he though would be some ways to get there. The latter was only an assumption though, which he made sure to clarify, as he'd never been to the border himself. That said, for as much as he was a good boy, there was one set of details he omitted. That of the people guarding the city. After all, if Nashi was returning as an ally, she'd not need to know about the city's defences and guards. All he'd say was that he'd try to see if he could get some people to stay on the look-out for them near the border. However, in the rare chance Nashi would be caught and interrogated, it would be best for her not to know about such things.
  
  ---
  
  As the heavy sound of metal thundered towards her, Nashi made no motion of acknowledgement, continuing to calmly trim her fur with Lirek's stolen dagger. It was only after a few odd moments of silence that she finally turned towards the large metal knight, her placid eyes wandering to the outstretched fist that seemed so eager to strangle her, before she simply returned to the task at hand. Once Kurikara had said his piece, both to Ceylan and herself, she laughed slightly, almost mockingly, reminiscent of her earlier expressions in battle.
  
  "You speak so righteously. As if you were most definitely going to cut me down if I hadn't died. But you didn't. You barely laid a scratch on me back then, before you hesitated. Now that I think about it, that was the same with the bandits, wasn't it? You hesitated and stalled. If not for that other human, you all would be long gone. As a protector, isn't the worst thing you can do be hesitate to protect your charge?"
  
  Nashi spoke smilingly, with a gentle and casual tone as if simply asking the armoured knight what he had for breakfast that morning. But her eyes were piercing and accusatory for a brief moment, before her smile faded and she looked away. "Just my two cents. Your words of karmic repercussions have yet to reach me, because I have yet to see any sign of it in my lifetime." She concluded faintly in a less aggressive manner, before she cleaned up her fur and reached for Ceylan's tail.
  
  "To show your back to an assassin, you have some nerve." She chuckled before gently stroking his fur and ascertaining the length of which to cut off. "You know, if I were to end you right now, no one would be able to stop me." She hummed, spinning her dagger around teasingly before getting to work.
  
  ---
  
  The navy beast stared at his summoner for a moment, before turning to the growing pile of silver, black and brown fur forming on the floor.
  
  "So this is farewell Nashi." The old man spoke up quietly, staring at the feline that had decapitated him just a few hours earlier. "I can't say that it was nice meeting you again, but if you are true to your word, I wouldn't mind paying a trek to Kuridan one day." He smiled finally, easing the atmosphere.
  
  "That would be nice." The feline smiled after a pause. "I'm sure... there are still many fun tales of my mother I have yet to hear from you."
