[] Raise your hand.
-[] "Cu Chulainn! By my command Seal, I summon you to my side! Incapacitate Minerva! Pin and Silence the Doll who stole my body!"
-[] Summon Aegis as soon as possible to try and survive Carmilla.
Get up. You had to get up. Your body was just filled with pain. It was getting colder and colder. You didn't have much strength left in you but you knew what happened. She took your body. She was going to get away. You grit your teeth as you found the spark you needed to clench your fist.
Slowly but surely, you raised your hand. You gasped for breath and spoke in a weak voice, "Cu... Chulainn... By my Command Seal, I summon you to my side."
Light appeared on your left hand as energy rushed throughout your broken body. Crimson light filled your surroundings as the snow melted around you, magical energy filled the air as your command was made manifest. You held your hand out as you felt it take hold.
You weren't done yet. No, not by a longshot at least. You continued holding your focus as you finished the command in its entirety.
Tasting blood in your mouth you continued the order, "Incapacitate Minerva. Pin... And silence the Doll who stole my body!
BERSERKER!"
Light exploded before a figure soon appeared before you. It was the man you fought earlier tonight. No longer was he under the effects of his Warp Spasm but he was now but a normal man. His blue hair flowed with the gust that was kicked upon his arrival.
Holding a crimson spear, he stood tall but his figure was filled with numerous wounds. Cuts, pieces of his body ripped off, bones sticking out his side and torn skin greeted you as Berserker showed himself to you in his full glory. But despite this he remained on his feet, never wavering or showing anguish.
His red eyes fell upon you as he narrowed his gaze. His eyes fell upon the spear which pinned you to the ground and frowned at the sight of it.
You stayed on the ground as he looked down on you, the moonlight shining down from above with the Clouds parted. The stars twinkled as the winds gently rolled overhead, sending a cold howl running through the snowy hill and dead woods.
"So you're my Master this time, huh?" Berserker noted with contempt.
"Yes. I am," you replied with a labored tone.
"Got it," Cu Chulainn replied with a cruel smirk as he grabbed the shaft of the spear holding you down, "Try not to bleed out, runt."
He pulled Gae Bolg out of your body causing you to spasm in pain. Flesh was torn and blood flowed down the snow. You gasped and held your stomach as the wounds refused to close.
"If you can tough it out, I'll listen," Berserker said as he vanished to hunt down Minerva.
You coughed and held your stomach as pain wracked your mind. You were bleeding... You were dying. Dying... You don't want to die. You grabbed Gae Bolg before you while holding your wound.
You were bleeding from your stomach and missing arm. You let out a shaky breath as you crawled away. You swallowed as you kept crawling until you reached your arm, picking it up with your freezing fingers and holding it close.
Repair. Repair. Repair...
You attached it to your stump and felt skin knit together as you pumped what little magical energy you had into it. Your mind was filled with knowledge, you dipped your hand into it and retrieved what was necessary to survive this... Mess.
Focus on your arm... After that it's keeping your stomach from bleeding out. You slowly got up to feel your arm attach again but it remained unresponsive. Your body needed more energy to fix it and make it functional.
Looking along the tree lines, you saw her. A woman in red stood by a tree, giving you a curious look. Her eyes narrowed before she dashed towards you.
Carmilla!
"Aegis!" You screamed as shields appeared before you but the Countess simply smashed through them.You dived out of the way as she cleaved through a tree with her scepter alone. You coughed as you tried to crawl away from her.
"I wasn't expecting any survivors," Carmilla murmured as she walked over to you, "Your kind just continues to surprise me more and more. Durable but not too expressive. It only helps that you all wear the same face. I can figure out which torture implement works on you best."
She grabbed you by your hair and slammed you into a tree.
"You're the one Brie wants to kill. Berserker's Master, wasn't it?" Carmilla asked as she pinned you to the tree with her hand, "You've given a lot of people trouble lately."
You struggled to breathe as she left you dangling on the ground. You held her wrist as you grit your teeth and looked her in her yellow eyes.
"Let... Go," you hissed as you tried prying her hand off. However the Servant was too strong for you as she narrowed her gaze.
"That face, I really hate it. I might as well rip it off..." Assassin growled as she had her clawed hands come close to your eyeballs.
Only that she stopped.
She dropped you as she stepped back. You coughed and winced as your wound stung you. Carmilla knelt down and made you face her by lifting your chin up.
"Maybe you could be of use. I felt Berserker vanishing from the lake. Did you make him go chase after Brie?" Carmilla asked with a deadly tone.
"I... Yes. I did," you replied as you held your side.
The Blood Countess stared at you long and hard before looking to the side, "I see. I can use you."
Your eyes widened as Carmilla let go of your face. She grabbed you by the hair and started dragging you away.
"Gah! W-Wait! Stop!" You cried out as she pulled you along.
"If Berserker comes, tell him to stand down. Or I'll kill you," Carmilla said as she kept a tight grip on your hair.
"What do... You want-?" You felt pain on your wound as your blood seemingly started to boil. You gasped and cried out to see that your wound had stopped bleeding.
Blood wasn't...
Was she manipulating your blood to keep you from bleeding out? It hurt. It hurt so much tears slid down your cheeks.
"I'm going to ruin a Cult's night," Carmilla hissed as she dragged you along, "It's not every night I get this chance. If you do anything stupid I will kill you and just absorb your energy. Then I can go back to hunting Brie... That bitch."
If she finds out who you were, you're dead. Under no circumstances can you divulge your identity, not now at least. But a cult...
Was she going to abandon the operation and rescue Olga?
