Skadi splashed back down into the water and swam off beneath the waves. Hm, the castle's probably not near any coast then. Hm, whatever happened with that smell too? I thought I had stayed on course, but I just ended up here. Maybe it was my imagination, or perhaps the passage between the two closed. Would have been nice to get one of my old swords back. I wonder if anybody's still using them or if they disappeared along with me. I suppose they might have found homes in this world, but I doubt many would have been able to leave intact if I couldn't. She surfaced and began floating on her back, she looked around, there weren't any obvious rock formations near here as far as she could tell. Which meant finding a roadhouse willing to put her up or trying somewhere in a town...of course that required finding a town.
She sighed, "Who would be willing to put someone like me up for a night?" shouted a frustrated Skadi angrily. She looked back at that ship. If only they were pirates, I here tell that they don't care what you look like. Of course, there's the question of payment. They might not settle for what little money I got off those bastards earlier and there's no way I'd part with one of my blades. She swam back to the shore and began walking inland, with some luck she might come across a path and she'd follow that to a roadhouse. Or maybe something big would attack her and she could just use it's lair.
Well, as luck would have it she did find a path and something big. Over a dozen demons thinking she was some lone woman traveling at night. The leader had almost three heads on Skadi and wielded a large axe. It's fellows were of varied heights and ranged from having a head on Skadi to her having a head on them. One held two wicked looking bows and was standing well back from the group. tch, four arms and it wastes them holding a pair of bows. Deep chuckling could be heard coming from the demons, confident that the poor lighting would be frightening their soon to be victim. She just stared at the archer as the big one started talking. "You poor unfortunate woman, you should have listened to your elders and gone back home before the sun set, or hadn't you heard that we were out here?" "And you must be blinder than a mole if you actually believe you stand a chance against the Invincible Sword Princess just because you have two bows, a large axe, and a bunch of gooks." She slowly withdrew her blade from her back and began creeping shadows along the dark earth to deal with the archer. Her other weapons began to emerge from the earth around her as well.
The big one began to understand the position he was in. He yelled for the archer to fire and heard only gurgling as the bows clattered to the ground. "Now now, sister, you really don't need to kill us. It was just a joke, really. We didn't mean nothing by it." He was beginning to slowly step backwards, his followers tried to flee but they were already within Skadi's domain. None could run very far before their necks snapped. "You're right, I don't have to and quite frankly y'all aren't worth my time, but I need somewhere to stay for the night. And you're going to provide for me." "R-r-right mum." "Don't call me mum. If you feel that you must address me, you may call me Princess." "Yes, Princess." "Move." The survivors scrambled to follow their leader and Skadi. She could smell their lair before it came within sight, it was disgusting, and she'd need to bathe afterward, but it would suffice for a night. However, it could do with a few less occupants. She needed to make something perfectly clear before she went to bed.
As they came to the entrance she stopped, "Peon, and your subordinates. Allow me to make one thing perfectly clear. If anyone so much as comes within a fullblade's reach of me during my slumber or if any of you make a ruckus that disturbs my sleep-" She slew the three demons closest to her with a swing. "that will be the least of your worries." She sheathed her blade and stepped inside. She found a nice, relatively clean, corner tossed a blanket down and went to sleep. The remaining six demons, including the axe wielder, were all very careful to step outside quietly and run as fast as they could. None wanted to risk the chance of gaining her ire.
