[color=white]the huntress had followed her prey for days upon days. she wasn't some normal hunter, not for what her past could say about her. she wasn't the youngest out there anymore, but nor was she the oldest. by this time it would have been expected that she had found a mate and settled down. in human terms she would have been in her thirties, but she wasn't quite sure how that came to be in well, animal years. maybe around seven years? she didn't know quite how old she was, counting by the human standard rather than the animal standard.
her prey was a lithe demon, a small fox that always kept one step ahead of her, at least until today. it had taken advantage of her in her sleep, taking a form that what it seemed would be similar to her animal body. oh how wrong it had been in it's estimation. when an old comrade had lost control over his natural magick, the magick had affected her, one who shared his blood through an undesired bond. one reason to feel distaste towards a demon general, no matter if he took her in and cared for her after ... that.
taking in a deep breath she stopped in her path, head lowered as she focused her senses. there was no time to dally in the past, only the presence of mind to reside in the living present. she was a tigress, travelling on the short budget that she had in search of demons. she was a rather renowned exorcist and demon hunter, rising quickly in the world of cultivation and assassination. that had been a long time ago when her name had taken the attention of the big names. she was ariside "kade" laneces, daughter of a common woman and her unknown lover. she had taken a fiance at a young age, he sick with terminal cancer, aiming to have their first child at nineteen. he died shortly after their formal engagement and she had lost their child in an accident. her family and those that she lived with were burned alive in the mansion that they had lived in. young and scared she had continued her path of cultivation against the demonic beings, swearing to hunt down the one that had taken everything from her. her name dropped from common knowledge, many looking upon her with pity and shame for her tactics. she became no more than a murderer, maiming her kills so that all would know it belonged to her. her name was once more on society's tongue, fearful of her madness in her search, spreading rumors that she had aligned herself as a demon general's mistress, reigning at his side and taking out his opponents.
this had been far from the truth, instead the demon general finding her bleeding out from a hunt gone wrong. he had taken her under his wing, bringing her back to health and reconditioning her so that she could take the fight to the demon that had taken everything. he had been following her progress for some time, something of a dark angel to her. she was the avenging whirlwind that was needed in the demonic underworld, wiping out some of the cruelest, helpful to some seeking a path to the top, and a dead-end to others. now she was back, hunting again after a brief pause to get her life back on track for a few months after a bad run-in with a long lost loved one.
she had been tracking lower-level demons throughout the area at the request of some simple families, using her skills and memories of her humanity to find the demonic entities and either lay them to rest or exorcise them completely. to these out-of-the-mainstream-folk she was simply a cultivator passing through; a strong, buff, and tall tigress with fur like fire and a red snake tattoo claiming her right shoulder. her eyes were described as soulless and colder than ice, something frightening to simpler folk.
now she was inside the territory of the recondite realm, seeking out her prey. this one was dangerous, this greed-demon seeking to ruin her by taking a form similar to what she would wear by choice. she found it merely amusing, a silent wing of death waiting to descend upon it. the demon proved an annoyance to her, but to newer cultivators or those with loved ones still alive and close by, it could destroy everything for them. and so she took it as her task to lure it into a trap and dispatch it. if the demon took after a sin, it became harder to exorcise.
wandering around a small copse of trees she set up her trap, digging certain runes and sigils into the ground with her claws and daggers(brought from her human life). in the center of the rather large star circle she made of sigils she dug twigs of willow fronds bundled with ferns and sage, into the ground to create a circle, meant to entrap the demon. she laid down a simple net, covered by leaves, attached to a nearby tree strong enough to hold the demon. it was a soul-binding net, one she had paid a hefty price for to steal from a human temple after being turned to a tiger. she may or may not have preyed upon the image of tiger or feline gods and used that to her aid. for now, she was distracted with the task of her trapping to notice if any other presence other than a demon approached, her mind awhirl and lips clasped together in determined action.
