Illusionist - Ryeji

Operation Gold

Sorry for typos ahead of time, let me know if you'd like me to continue <3

The night was cool, bitter even. For that, Yeji made time to get newly manufactured armor and clothing for everyone. It cost a lot of money, a lot of hours of her own work too. There were many many troops.

"It looks good on you." Yeji commented, Ryujin doing a little spin, a heavy black cape following her turn.

Her body wear was sleek, but padded. It appeared as though the bandage used on a mummy had wrapped and strung the pieces of the armor together. A half crescent in the middle, scripture on the steel as well as on the padding across her thighs. Her boots where smooth, lining running up from the edges of the toe to the end of the boot just under the knee. Her hood came down like a point over her nose. As she used her power, the criss-cross pattern left behind by the places the bandage didn't cover lit a purple flame.

"You look like a god." Yeji said, staring as the raven-haired held a flamed fist in front of her,  just as purple eyes.

"So do you." Ryujin said, looking at Yeji's identical wardrobe. Her's, however, was white, and as expected ignited a deep red.

"You think the others will be jealous?" Yeji asked, a bit worried about everyone's opinion.

"Maybe. These are rather amazing." Ryujin spoke, strolling towards Yeji, her eyes brown now.

Yeji gulped, recongizing the rather seductive look she had.

"It's a shame though." Ryujin came closer, her breath on her ear. "I can't fuck you so easily in these."

"There's plenty of time for that later, darling." Yeji said, winking and strolling out of the tent. Ryujin gawked, shaking her head to bring her thoughts back to the present.

They were back at the camp to perform Operation Gold. Which, so far has been praised by everyone. Yeji's plan seemed full proof, and if it works there's no doubt they'll have control of the desired castle.

But, if it goes extra well, they won't have to slaughter barley anyone...

Ryujin took a deep breath, walking out to find Yeji getting ready to leave with her squad. Ryujin turned the other way to head with hers. There were many squads, atleast a hundred, each with six people, and Ryujin would've wanted to be with Yeji. But, the plan required them to split.

They were then off, running into the night, breath heavy as their feet crunched into the ground.

There was a very distinct reason Yeji named the plan Operation Gold, however.

"Made it. Finally." One of Ryujin's squad members said, huffing as they all bent over their knees and breathed. His name was Niki.

"We should keep moving, we've got to make it three-quarters in." Ryujin said, everyone looking at her. It was as if she was an alien. It was as if they were disgusted because of how she was treated.

"We know." Another remarked, her name was Sana. "You don't need to recite it."

"I just wanted to put it out there-"

"Look, just because Yeji likes you and you've got fancy powers doesn't mean you get to become our leader." Niki said, everyone staying silent in mutual agreement. Ryujin nodded, and they started to walk through the damp mine. Abandoned carts rested on rusted rails, and hints of silver, if lucky, gold, rest inside.

"Look, I know you guys don't like me, given I was fighting against you before you probably don't trust me." Ryujin said, hearing everyone groan.

"You've got that right." Sana replied.
