K'wyde Quest P9: Quest to kill

Tilly places her hand on Coca’s shoulder and smiles. “ While I appreciate the offer I couldn’t risk your safety like that.”

Coca subtly gasps, a flutter in her heart. She sterns herself.

“Very well, but know that you must harden your heart out here. Outside the lark life your kingdom has afforded you the world is cruel and misshapen. It’s kill or be killed out here, you fight for food or you starve and if you want to live you must be ready to show some bloodlust for your life.” Coca warns.

While Tilly takes this warning to heart she wouldn't completely ignore the fact that the harbinger of the dire words stood in provocatively revealing outfit, her soft and luxurious belly exposed to the sight and attacks of any foe who wished to target such a vital area. Her bosom and the heart underneath exposed besides the minimal coverage afforded by a tight bra-like garment, and while it was common knowledge that mages, clerics and all sorts of magic users often favoured light fabrics and minimal metal attire to afford them the maximum amount of motion in combat. Tilly could hardly see the advantage of having one’s large broad backside being so boldly exposed.
“Perhaps this is more traditional among the children of Void” She thought to herself before snapping her attention back to her companion.
Tilly places her fist sideways before her lips and clears her throat. “Anyway, if things are as you say about this curse then my only option is to find your mother and, well…” A blush overtakes Tilly’s face before Coca Mu interjects.
“Kill her. Your best bet is to take your sword and plunge it into her heart. Or maybe burn her. Although that brings up the logistics of igniting her.”  She states bluntly, surprising Tilly.

“Yes, well. We’ll figure something out I suppose.” Tilly replies, her eyes looking anywhere but her almost excited companion.
“I will warn you. You won't just have my mother to look out for, my sister’s will also be tasked with protecting her and thus be our enemies. This way.” Coca states as she begins walking left of the path, the dense field brush easily pushed by her hefty figure.

“So you are but one of how many children?” Tilly asked.
“I am the eldest of three and the first to receive a portion of my mother’s Mu.” Coca says as she pushes a tree branch up, allowing Tilly to pass before following herself. 

Tilly, beginning to become confused, asks “Your last name?”
“My very being. You may understand it more akin to a soul, I have yet to complete my understanding honestly. Needless to say I was the first raised of my sisters and as such received the greatest portion of my mothers Mu, and thus am Coca Mu. ‘By this birthright I was born,  child of darkness and apostle of Void’ or so I was always told.” 

The two finally exit the tall grass completely and enter the forest, its tall and dense brush blinding our heroes from the sun's direct gaze.
“We will need to be careful, Monsters great and small are rampant here.” Coca looks around before smirking. “Perhaps fortune will favour us and we may come across a tasty one.” she says with a hungry breath.

The two walk for a time, Coca inquiring about Tilly. Tilly with a controlled sense of wonder takes in the sights, never in her life has she seen such things first hand. To read about them was one thing, but to view them was something else entirely.

The two are stopped when a sound interrupts their chat. Looking over they see a berry bush. Whether the berry’s were poisoning or not was not something Tilly was yearning to learn but was her first thought. Coca gestures her finger over her lips. After a few moments of silence as colorful gelatinous liquids pours from the bushes and waves in and forward. It was a slime! A low level threat to most, Slimes are only really a threat in great numbers or mass and this solo little guy had neither advantage. Coca Mu licks her lips.
“Blue raspberry, my favourite.”

The slime, noticing you noticing it noticing you begins to tremble.
