Lightning unarmed 5

[04:55] "All have their biases," Asta says, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly. She remains up on her cliff, preferring to look down upon those two. She felt equal parts scorn for the both of them.

They were both wrong, of course.

"None are above Aschea," she says. "Not myself. Not you. Not Weiss."

She extends both hands up to the heavens. "It is my vessel in this world that is the medium for her will. You know this. I won't repeat truths to you. If it is true, that he believes himself to be above Aschea, then he is no true Teraphim."

"-However."

Her arms lower, slightly.

"If the diplomatic issues you are referring to allude to the issues with Ilburg-"

Her smile widens.

"Then you are a fool. For I will very soon announce our formal declaration of war upon this settlement of bandits and Rhoynish. We will need Weiss. We are going to be razing the camp to the ground and purge all traces of Elaide's Coven. For it is known, they stir there."
(Asta Hargrave)

[04:55] Khiora Zoruin says, "...."
[04:55] Khiora Zoruin asks, "I beg of your pardon?"
[04:56] Asta Hargrave says, "It is true."
[04:57] Khiora Zoruin says, "You racist beings..."
[05:02] Weiss knew the truth of any matter truly involving himself. Be it his actions in other settlements involving conflict or his wayfinding of wraiths to appease. Yet did he believe himself above Aschea? No, and certainly not Asta either. He did believe he was right under her, but above all others in Myllenoris.

That was his personal gray area.

His head turns back slightly to Aerilon. From the corner of his eye there was a glare.

"This is why I didn't bother to dispute you, fool. I know all things I'm involved in. I consul the spirits in each step. Lady Asta has her faith in me for this reason.

Now tell me, what makes you Mistseer over someone like me?"

His question rolled off his tongue and like venom, a ailment to their mind. To make them question their own position now in Myllenoris.

[05:03] Cassandra finishes farming and proceeds to float about everywhere. She floats still for a second, gazing upon the others. What a funny little place she thinks to herself. She wonders if one day people would live peacefully and without violence.

She quickly realizes that it's very unlikely.
(Cassandra)
[05:04] Demios glances to Cassandra, he'd been meaning to speak to her about a business venture, but he was growing tired and it seemed like more important events were unfolding around him.

So he elected to sit down in the grass.
His head droping forward slightly, as he sleepily listened to events unfold.
(Demios Arborea)
[05:05] Cassandra wondered if the person next to her had died, he seemed to droop like a flower in winter.

He seemed familiar to her, then she remembered.
(Cassandra)
[05:05] Cassandra exclaims, "Demios!"
[05:06] Demios lazily glanced back up to Cassandra.
(Demios Arborea)
[05:06] Demios Arborea says, "H-hello..."
[05:06] Cassandra asks, "Do you want to come inside and talk?"
[05:07] Demios sighed for a moment, he was very tired.
(Demios Arborea)
[05:07] Demios Arborea says, "I suppose I c-can..."
[05:07] Cassandra says, "That's good, follow me."
[05:07] Demios slowly climbed back to his feet.
(Demios Arborea)
[05:07] Cassandra proceeded to float extremely fast.
(Cassandra)
[05:10] "To each their own. I'm not one to claim that my way is correct. Everyone in this world has their own unique view on things. I shall not attempt to disway anyone from what they believe in."

The man looks to his right hearing the unnerving words of war. He sighs. So many people are such warmongers. Since he is within the territory of the Teraphim he shalt speak his mind on the matter. To voice the opposition of the words of the one who claims to be a higher authority no less.

"If you wanna speak about the topic if you desire. --Share it over a cup of tea or something if your interesting in the matter. Speaking further here would be ignorant. It seems like something I don't wish to take part in, is happening right beside us."

The lack of a breeze and the power the women extrudes is discomforting. The man hasn't seen such a powerful being as to halt the wind. And to speak in an omnidirectional voice. She may be a force to be reckoned with.

"While your view on things is rather interesting, Khiora. I believe their might be much more to it than that. --I pass the same offer to you if you would lik--" he paused only now realizing what she said. The Teraphim are declaring war? On Ilburg…

He shutters at the thought. He will have to warn the others later if they are ill-informed.

Ekheim nods to the lass. "I do have a residence if you so wish to stay a night. I don't mind at all." He doesn't really seem to want to stick around.
(Ekheim Theseus)
[05:13] The Archdruid's hands immediately clasp back together, with perhaps more force than before. He is keenly aware of the people she's just announced that to, and the absolute pleasure she must be having in the process.

"Of course, High Lady, there is- were that the issue, of course, I am not fool enough to take particular gripe with it. However-"

He spins on his heels, turning to face directly at Weiss, and bore holes into the back of his head with a glare, once his face is no longer visible to the crowd.

"Of course, it is not simply antagonizing forces that conspire with the occult. His use, his necessity, are why his blade and blood rampage across the continent being impossible to keep up, and his ego refuting any who would wish him into a more useful avenue, are the true issue."

He gestures a hand in a rough manner, almost accusingly.

"He makes enemies of the world, he walks along and slays who and wherever he pleases without taking heed to warnings. He is powerful, but he will die should he continue this, just as Bastiel will for doing the same. Whether today's incident condemns children to rot in a prison, sallies the attempts to save them, or tomorrow's brings another force into war against us from a second angle- he cannot continue as he is, and refuses to cease it."

"Worse still? The moment he does perish, slain by one of a myriad of enemies, perhaps even become a target for destruction by the Osronan crown, who understands this weakness of his, of us, that leaves us ripe for destruction. We acknowledge his necessity, High Lady, and that as such is why this way he acts to destroy, is impossible to reconcile."

He sighs, intensity completely drained from him.

"That I can see this is, one would hope, what qualifies me here."
(Aerilon Tsuchai)
[05:14] The young woman would slowly turn herself around. Gritting her teeth in silent anger. Her flow in lightning and control reverberating wildly. Her lightning Slowly arcing and chaining from within her body. A glare would be casted towards the Crystal magi.

"Congratulations High queen. I have FINALLY seen you for the being that you truly are. I came to measure the prowess of the one that had attacked my camp. But coming here had proved to become more useful with every waking moment. It all comes together now.."

The young woman would slowly grin with her mana growing more than prevalent. She couldn't believe what was uttered from the woman's mouth. But she knew deep down the true colors would be hidden. That many would act out.

"You saved yourself the extra steps. Ill relay the message. You and your cursed people will not take more from what was lost to us, our Homes and family. Mark my words Asta Hargrave.."

Her body slowing from enveloping Her body soon ready to teleport with a blast of lightning.

"You will fall for this. Every last one of your men. Ill will make SURE of it."

She uttered. Attempting to disappear with a blast of thunder.
(Khiora Zoruin)
[05:21] Asta waves her hand dismissively at Khiora.

"Yes, I'm fully aware you are going to tell your friends, pest," she says. A cold tone to her voice, yet all the same, still somewhat monotone.

"This was well overdue, in any case. Your people killed the prior High Lord, Randor Dinendir. Your safe haven in the desert has been under my sights for many years. A blemish to the land."

She shields her face from the blast of thunder, likely kicking up debris and dirt. She doesn't bother to attempt to stop her.

There was no point. They were not going for a discreet war. That is not how Myllenoris did things. They did not cower behind surprise attacks.



She dusts off her regalia and clears her throat.

"Weiss is reckless; principally, that is what holds him back from the position of Mistseer. A Mistseer is not some arbitrarily greater rank. It is a rank of strategists and advisors. It is not a rank of those whoblindly charge into the fray."

"But- that aside. I do not disagree that Weiss' antics in the wilds have gone unimpeded far too long. It is, perhaps, only a matter of time before he angers the wrong type of people. This is why his ways must change."
(Asta Hargrave)
[05:22] Archon says, "Umm he already angered the wrong people but i see your point"
[05:22] Oh boy, here he goes again.
(Weiss Anam)
[05:22] Asta Hargrave asks, "He angered the people we are to war with. Is this a problem?"
[05:23] Jojo walks
(Khiora Zoruin)
[05:23] Aerilon Tsuchai says, "It wouldn't be, were they the only ones."
[05:23] Archon says, "I mean i heard he angered more then that but that might be rumors that have no weight behind them"
[05:23] Asta vibrates but remains chill.
(Asta Hargrave)
[05:25] Archon says, "Also hello high lady it is nice to see you."
[05:25] His thumb on the guard of the blade. It was pushed up. A sliver of metallic gleam showing.

"You could have at least said that somewhere else Asta. Now look what I have to do." He commented with some sullen tone.

Weiss took one step. That's all it took for crystal flowers to bloom from the ground. They intertwined together to create bushes and snares.

Then he would push off from the ground and jump to Khiora! His blade whipped through as he gave chase, but it was too late. She was already on the move.
(Weiss Anam)
[05:36] Demios Arborea says, "Khiora..."
[05:38] Demios sighed.

"S-so... Asta... she's g-going to launch an a-attack on here..."
(Demios Arborea)
[05:38] Khiora Zoruin says, "Everything I worked HARD for here."
[05:38] Khiora Zoruin says, "She is going to try and take from me."
[05:38] Demios Arborea exclaims, "B-but why!"
[05:39] The young woman would slowly giggle in mental pain. One could tell that she was hurting severely from this news..

"Over my fucking dead body. They believe something is dark within those ruins... And that problem furthers my intrest…"

She said leering at Demios.

"I will prepare for its inevitability."
(Khiora Zoruin)
