She felt her legs making the usual squished sounds as she walked across the plain full of corpses. The blood-stained flowers went flat to the ground at her every step. But nothing mattered anymore.
Nothing.
"You must die...all of you..." she murmured, holding up her dagger high the moment she was near him.
Cease yourself, or face my wrath
The voice was dripping with venom; it truly meant what it has said. Usually, when she kills, the voice spoke no more. But this time, it was as though it was trying to tell her something new. However, in her current state, she might not be able to actually think logically...
She leaped into the air, and aimed to land on him with her dagger pointed downwards; "DIE!!"

Theseus, still lying on the ground noticed that the woman who was once far away was now reasonably closer. Perhaps 5-10 feet. Upon first glance he thought she would help him. His mind was soon changed when he spotted the raised dagger in her hand. His eyes opened with surprise and he panicked for a moment. However, he noticed the dagger's position and used that to his advantage. As the dagger came down, he reacted instinctively. His left hand shot out and gripped the wrist of the woman, stopping her attack dead. He was weak from the battle earlier, and so, found himself struggling to keep the weapon far from him. As he tried to push her back he shouted, sweat now forming increasingly faster on his brow. "W-what...are you..doing?!" His heart beat fiercly inside his chest, and his muscles screamed, but his mind was set to survive this. To die another day. To tell his story of how he survived a great battle...

His hand caught her by the wrist and in an instant, she felt the other force from within her holding her back. So it WAS telling the truth. But why react now and not before? Her mind froze at that sudden moment, and she fell forward. The white of her eyes slowly turned back to its former red...but that means she was back to her normal timid self. That distraughted part of her.
The hand that grabbed her hand was still around her wrist. And the dagger that she held before dropped to the ground next to him.
She looked at it and her eyes immediately widen in horror; "Just now...I...dagger..." her eyes looked back frantically from the dagger to this injured soldier, "Dagger...stab...you..." she was about to go into her usual shock moments when all of a sudden, her eyes caught the blood that was on him. She remembered earlier what the blood was.
"Dirty..." tearing off the bit off her bandage that was wrapped around her torso, she used it to wipe off the stains on him, "Blood...dirty. Bad people's blood. Not good..." she continued wiping it, "Not good at all..."

Theseus stared curiously at the woman as she dropped her dagger and began sputtering words that barely seemd coherent. He noticed though that she had changed. As if she was fighting something inside of herself. The woman continued, tearing off part of a bandage from her torso and using it to wipe the fresh blood from his arrow wound, but he stopped her. "No, it's alright...I'll be fine...I think...." His head hit the ground, and he continued his heavy breathing. "Just calm down...What's your name?" He tried sounding as friendly and as pleasant as possible, though it war hard with an arrow still lodged deeply into his shoulder.

She looked curiously into his eyes as she puts away the bandage she tore from her own clothing; he was filthy, and she wanted to clean him up. But since he said he would be fine, she held it back and got off him, sitting next to him instead. Then again, he was not the only one that was filthy with those dirty blood; she was too. Her once silver blonde hair was slightly tainted with dark red, her bandages on her torso and her feet were wet with blood too. But for some reason, she failed to notice those.
"Name...?" she asked softly when he asked her, "Mine...no. People...Eris," she said it slowly, "Eris...but not sure. Forgotten...memory..." her curious eyes blinked, "Name...yours?"
They named her after the goddess of discord, Eris, for her unbalanced and uncontrolled behaviour that sometimes kills others. She was sometimes dubbed 'delirious' too, but these words did not bother her. As long as she stays away from them...away from humanity...no one would get hurt. No one but her. Treading upon the plains of the dead too was safe enough for her...for she knows that death is all around. It was not her fault that caused it to happen. Not her fault.
Her curious eyes caught the arrow on his shoulder and she leaned forward to touch it; "Hurt...you...hurt," she said, pulling her hand back, "Pain..." her eyebrows furrowed, "Take away? Pain...take away?"
((sounds like I'm ordering a take-away pizza by saying that~ XD LOL~~~))

(( Haha, your right! XD That does sound like your ordering a take away pizza. lol ))
He looked at Eris, bewildered by the way she spoke and her reactions. "Eris..." he slowly repeated after her. Theseus spoke softly once more. "I'm Theseus." He flinched as Eris poked the arrow, moving it just enough to cause more pain. His jaw tightened and he let out a low grunt. "Yes...I'd like the pain to go away..." He caressed the area around the arrow softly to relax his muscles. The best he could through a coat of armor, anyway. "Do you have any bandages?" He carefully sat up, pain still throbbing within his shoulder. "Other than the ones on you I mean..."

She cocked her head to one side, curious as the name he told her; "The...seus..." she repeated, testing it with her own voice, "Theseus..."
Eris snatched her hand back into its place, seeing his face contorting in pain. Was he all right? Was it really painful? Was it as painful as the pain in her? She asked herself this, but soon found out that this pain was a different type of pain. His pain was different than hers, she thought, much different. It was something she had never felt before, and ever since she had that mark on her left hand, she no longer had physical wounds. Her skin and sense felt dull to anything that registered as 'pain' in any humans' mind.
After all, she wasn't exactly human. No. Not entirely.
"Bandages? This?" she pointed at the ones on her, "Only one. No more. Nowhere else,"
There were mostly on her torso section, but there were some on her feets too, replacing shoes or boots. Her feet felt no pain when walking barefooted, but just for extra precaution, she tied bandages on her feet.
But since this stranger named Theseus is in need of bandages, she would gladly give some to him.
"Here, possible," she undid the bandages on her one feet, "Not clean, but enough,"
The arrow was still on his shoulder, and he was still in pain.
"Arrow...pull, can you?" she struggled with her words," Pull...arrow...bandage...wrap...easier. Can...you?"
((yea, I'll be waiting~))

He looked at her curiously. She was an odd individual. She spoke as if she barely knew English. As she handed him the bandage, he took it. A dirty bandage was better than none at all. He snapped the arrow's shaft so that he could slide his breast plate off. Doing so, he caused great discomfort to his shoulder but ignored it and exposed his torn black tunic, which he also removed. He now had no shirt, showing various scars from battles past. His tan skin was covered in dirt and new blood was leaking from the wound. Swiftly, without thinking, he tore the arrow out of his shoulder, causing immense pain, and a new, far greater wave of blood. It poured out vigorously, seeming to never stop. He grabbed his tunic and covered the wound to slow the bleeding. Once it was soaked he began wrapping the wound, painting it a light shade of red. He secured it and sighed, his shoulder still throbbing. Sweat dripped down his face, and he was breathing heavily. The pain wouldn't go away. Theseus' eyes shut and he almost felt himself pass out. He opened his eyes once more to a world of haze. His jaw clenched shut, he showed little signs of pain...only depression. Despair, and helplessness.
Open door, so I walk inside... Swallow me, so the pain subsides... And I shake as I take this in... Let the show begin...
((Back. And yes that's Metallica. =P))
