Soft laugh
"Oh no i know he is real and the stories of how he slewn lefions of the fallen sending them to the Abyss, are true as well. I just had to know what he was really like."
A slight smile.
"For i know a good chance we will not leave this mountain alive. "
Hearing of the relatives and the possible displeasing it gives Dio pause. She is silent and clearly in conflict with herself for a moment

#s://i~ibb~co/WVcwnWf/K2-the-second-tallest-mountain-in-the-world~jpg Their conversation is halted, and the General leads Entropy and the Sword of Chaos close behind Dio. Hammett has a vague recollection of meeting the Sword once before, but she must have had another title at the time. It is the General who speaks. "Dionisia, who is this man? Is he over Amber or the Courts? Why have you not slain him yet?"The General eyes Hammett with the same glare Hammett returns to him. Hammett senses the power in the man, in all four of them in fact now that they are closer and not hiding their auras. "It is a long fall from either side, stranger," Entropy says. "It will be even worse if you can't grow your own wings on the way down." |

Dio straightens right away when she hears the voice of the general.
She turns to him
"Because he is also hunting Lady Vada, and has friends in the courts, i was still trying to figure if he was useful or not."
She looks back at Hammett and speaks.
"Hammett of Ceridin, this is the General. "
Turning back to the general.
"General, this is Hammett of Ceridin. He asked to join forces but it is of course not my place."
She stands then back a bit with her eyes down and blades in front of her waiting orders.

"I've been hunting Lady Vada for a while now, I found an etching in a basement in the book market of Cairo. It transported my friends and I here. They have moved up ahead, closing the distance between us and her. I hung back to see who was following us."
He looks over at The Sword with a questioning eye, "We have met before, haven't we? Did you use to frequent Wormwoods? I plan to reopen as soon as all this is behind me."

Dio stands silently waiting she turns to look back. If she can see through the winds filled with snow how far the other group is of 6 that was behind them. She looks at the Sword and Entropy.
"We have to be watchful for those not to be attacked in the back."

"Further on up the trail. Lady Vada has taken captive the husband of one of my companions. We are seeking to get him back."
He keeps a half-eye on the Sword, has he placed where he knows him/her from yet?

Dio says to the General.
"Sir, we do not have the luxury to stand still for to long. The cold or the people behind us.
If Hammett says they also are against Lady Vada is that for now then not enough to go on? Would you not rathr die in fight agains Vada then meaningless on this mountainside?"
She looks at Hammett and inclines her head
"They seek their friend and nothing else.
Right Sir Hammett?"

#s://i~ibb~co/WVcwnWf/K2-the-second-tallest-mountain-in-the-world~jpg Hammett can't figure out who the Sword of Chaos is. She has changed her shape to something different enough that he can't quite place her. The General continues with his hard stare. "As long as you do not delay our climb then," he concedes. "If you can't keep the pace, then Dionisia will throw you off the edge.
"You are slowing us down now with your standing there." |

Dio looks up at Hammett expectingly hoping he agrees with the terms.
She knows she endangered her position with this group. But their survivability was in question anyway. And she did just not want to perish on this mountainside.
Hearing her duty Dio inclines her head.
"Yes General. I will make sure the pace is kept."
She wonders if Hammett would not be even faster then them at the moment since they jave travelled some ways and Hammett arrived fresh on the mountainside.

The General need not worry about Hammett slowing them down, as after Hammett nods his agreement he then turns and leads them up the path after Brian and the others.
He remains cautious though, keeping a lot of his attention on those following him, so there is no surprise attack. He is happy the path only allows one person to walk at a time, and that Dio is directly behind him as she seems to be the most upfront and trustworthy.
"What about those that follow you? Should you not make preparations for them? It would not be good to be surrounded by Vada's forces on this narrow ledge."

Again in humanform walking up the ridge Dio scowls a bit to the howling icy winds.
Keeping close behind Hammett she makes sure they keep a steady pace. Her blades still in hand.
She keeps looking back now and then making sure her companions are still following them.
Dio speaks up
"We do not know who follows us. They are with six. And it could be Vada her troops or it could be another interested party.
Up we saw two groups fighting one group of four and one of two. Though i suspect one group has less. We saw slain demons along the way up."
She sounds plainly as if reciting anothers words. Though not much faith is pressed behind it in Dio her voice.
"Our duty is to slay Vada anything else is not important. We are prepared to die doing so."

"But what if it is Vada who is following you? Maybe it is just some of her demons up ahead, clearing the path for her, and we just got stuck in the middle?"
As usual Hammett tries to think of all possible options and how they might screw up him and his plans. Fate seemed to work like that a lot.
