Ideals and Necromancy

[15:18:59] Liluna took her trip back to Nostvale. She looked around for Charlie, bright pink hair, but didn't find her. Wasn't she well known there? Oh well, Liluna will come back later after traveling across the desert to see Sophia. But first, once she was across the desert, she went east across the small prarie, to a nice little patch of flowers by the trees. She sat down, the leaned back and plopped onto her back in the grass, eyes shut.

While laying, she'd make a thin layer of water a few feet all around her, to detect any motion around her.

[15:23:15] He was coming through the Grasslands, he sensed the call of the dead. The cry of souls and dark cry of evil. Death cried to him, and he was eager to practice once more. He had slaughtered a Neries in the name of Azrael, and he was eager to keep at this. The charred and black skull clinked against his side. "Lord Azrael. Your servant has lived to his promise. He has Given you your just and due Sacrifice, allow me... the power and the might to take of your realm and bring Justice to this Corrupted world of Kraus!"

He began going about chanting, drawing the circles and the runic models. He was preparing the ritual to attempt at Necromancy once more. A continued and given attempt. He was unshakable in his practice... and his depravity was only growing in his attempts to master the black art.

[15:32:38] After a few moments, Liluna felt like she heard something nearby; something on the ground, and maybe someone talking. She sat up and looked over to see someone looking like they might be drawing something. They didn't look like a very nice person, with that skull and such.. Though Liluna would actually get up and slowly walk closer to them.

"Um... What are you doing?.." she'd ask if she managed to get close enough.
(Liluna Xemi)

[15:36:03] He would catch himself in place. Turning slowly, his golden eyes smiling at her as he smiled. A young Ookami. A cute one at that. "I did not notice your prescence... I was... venerating Lord Azrael." He laughed nervously. He had been caught red handed in the act, he could only hope that she was sympathetic to his actions... or otherwise didn't care to press him further.

He decided to change the subject ever so slightly, "My name is Vin. Might I have the pleasure of yours, beauty?" He hoped that flattery would help him, but even as he spoke, his unnatural tongue flicked, and his occultic miasma became palpable. He needed to learn how to mask that better.

A task for another time.
(Vindictus)

[15:45:26] she thought to herself. Though once she remembered what the heck that word meant, she immediately didn't like this boy. Azrael worship was... probably the dumbest religion to Liluna.

And oh boy, another new male calling her beautiful. The ookami let out a quiet sigh and gave a quick half smile, "I'm Liluna.." She said soft and flatly. The girl began to feel Vin's occiltism and depravity, and it made her feel sick.

"What were you doing out here?.. Other than whatevering Azrael.."
(Liluna Xemi)

[15:48:51] He tilted his head. She seemed a bit... less read and learned than himself. "I am practicing his magics, madame." His smile softened from absolutely sinister, to almost Genuine. He closed his eyes as he went back to his work. "Lord Azrael! Allow me the blessings and the strength of your Realm!"

The runic circles he had drawn glowed with a mix of Occultic Red, and depraved Azraelian green as he channeled himself, whispering something terrible and almost incomprehensible under his breath. Until his golden eyes were filled with the green energy, practically dripping with it.
(Vindictus)

[15:56:32] "Are you-..." She was about to ask if he was Oscuri, but then he closed his eyes and began whispering something.. The runes he drew glowed red and green. Liluna didn't like it.. Then his eyes glowed green? The girl's eyes went a bit wide and she stepped back, not wanting to get hurt in whatever way she thinks could happen here.

She didn't speak, not wanting to get in his way.
(Liluna Xemi)

[16:01:39] As he continued the ritual, the corners of the circle, or the main nodes on each of its four sides, would begin to bind a bright green light to the ground, the ground began to rumble. To shake, a single bony hand reaching from the ground. Beneath it, clawing at it. "Rise! Rise and serve your master once more!" He smiled, but then it backlashed. It failed again! The energy came back to him, damaging him, running through him as he took a knee in pain.

Then he cryed. "Why... why won't it work!" He stood up again, then stopped, as if the tears were some bout of momentary madness that had gripped him. "What was it dear? Liluna? Perhaps I could tutor you." He smiled cheerily as he began to prepare the runes once more, he had animation. Movement. He was so... close...

"Lord Azrael... you have allowed your servant his progress and his work... I ask that you provide him that final resolve and power to complete the learning... Another sacrifice shall be given of the blood of a heretic..." He tooka deep breath as he charged the runes again, "What do you say, Ookami?"
(Vindictus)

[16:11:02] Well then. It seemed like Vin here was practicing necromancy, as the girl witnessed a dead hand come up from the ground where he drew some shapes. Liluna's eyebrows furrowed as she looked back up at Vin. He dares ask if she wanted to learn how to raise the dead? Well, that alone didn't seem so incredibly bad to the girl, but doing it for what Azrael wanted was just asinine.

"Um... ... No thanks.. I don't really have a reason to raise the dead.." she said, trying not to voice her dislike for Azrael. "Why are you doing it anyway?.. Doesn't Azrael want everyone dead so HE can revive them when he's back?.. Or did I miss something when reading about it.."
(Liluna Xemi)


[16:16:09] He took a step forward laughing. "I do not care to tutor you in the black arts. You do not seem to be... exactly caring for that line of interest, are you?" He continued smiling cheerily. His golden eyes, as well as what had just happened, would make his smile extremely unnerving. Terribly so. Almost unbearably so.

He looks at her, "Azrael saw a world of Sin. A world of terrible evil and suffering within the creation of Kraus... so he saught to fix it, as one does correct? He was to create a new world... a better world. But with his absence, we are his tools, to forge that better world!" He sounded more and more excited with every word as he spoke.

He chuckled, "I care to teach you of the histories and the different rhetorical arts. An opportunity not afforded to most of your kind."
(Vindictus)

[16:22:59] "Hm.." Liluna didn't move. She looked at the ground for a moment, thinking, then looked back up at Vin. She had to continue talking about it now. "What does the plan for a better world consist of, then?.. And I don't know what you mean by rhetorical arts.."
(Liluna Xemi)

[16:25:32] He would continue rewriting the lines for his ritual, before getting back to her. "My plan for a better world... is a world where the just rule, and they simply sit back, multiple judges, Iudexes, that would monitor the independant affairs of each man." He smiled. This was his grand ideal. His father's grand Ideal.

He looked at her, he laughed a little at her second question. "Rhetorical Arts. How to speak eloquently and understand the speak of politics. Other way to say it... the extremely fancy way that I have been speaking to you to this point."
(Vindictus)
[16:37:29] "I don't think everyone would want to be monitored like that.. It might be miserable for them.. They would try to overthrow the 'judges' eventually.. And is that what all Azrael worshipers want as a better world?.. I doubt each person should think differently about that.." she spoke, then sighed and shook her head, "I don't want to speak like you do.. It sounds over the top.. Like you're trying too hard or somehing..."
(Liluna Xemi)

[16:40:54] He smiled at her, extending his hand for a shake, Grinding the bony hand under foot as he took the stop forward, "Alas, I am not a perfect man, but you must admit that my proposal is much better than the things that run the world at the moment. [T]he injustice that occurs?" He was smiling. If he was not irked further, he would allow her to be on her way.
(Vindictus)

"Sure.. I guess so.. As long as your plan doesn't involve hurting or killing others.." she said, looking down at his extended hand. "Sorry.. neither of my arms actually work right now.. They're broken.. You could shake my best attempt at a hand made of water, but that might not work very well.." She said with a little chuckle. The ookami would then channel out some mana roughly in the form of an arm and hand, then convert the mana into water; whether from the air and plants, or magically, it appeared there. Vin's hand would likely just go through it, like water, unable to really grab it.
(Liluna Xemi)

He would smile at her. He took the life from the nearby grasses. The life from the flowers, the life from the trees with his occultic power. After taking it, he would lay his hands on her arms, allowing her to heal, she would feel an oddly invigorating source of mana,  "Consider that my gift to you, for bearing me in conversation."
(Vindictus)

She watched the plants die around them, then Vin reach his arms for her. Oh no.. Before the girl managed to react, Vin had his hands on her arms, then pushed occultic healing into her. Liluna had been barely practicing holy magic, but it was enough to make her feel a little more sick and nauseated than a someone who hadn't. Her mouth curved into a small frown at the feeling, wanting to step away from Vin, but didn't in order to not be rude.

But his little gift would probably be pointless. Liluna looked down at her arms and tried moving them. Nothing happened. She looked back up at Vin. "Thanks, but sorry.. I don't think just that will fix missing bones.." Unless it did, in which case that would just be too easy.
(Liluna Xemi)

Vindictus: I shall procur you some bones.

Vindictus: Take care
