Ro goes mad

[21:42] Kofe speaks up, looking over his shoulder towards Turmeric and answering her.

"Basil's the High Lord. And it's just a fight."

The reasons mattered little - Ella was brought down to the sands and defeated right then and there. It was over, and as such, Kofe made his way in-between the thirsty claw and his soon-to-be wife.

A golden gaze stared him down, and his lips finally parted.

"If words are not something you'll listen to, then-"

A breath was drawn in. Judging from the reactions Ella spouted out this wasn't normal behavior for Ro. Kalina wasn't the type to fall for a maniac like that, either.

Tea. Edelaide. Mihalis. And even Kofe himself. All had been brought down by their mind's failure. A loss of control over themselves and decisions left to be... blurry. Impossible to read.

It was time to tackle that problem head-on, to try and help someone in a situation of crisis. Where Alexander hadn't allowed him to act, Ro would have no choice but to accept it.

Kofe's heart spoke for itself. Music was transmitted directly into the Teraphim's mind in hopes to mend everything that pained. To calm him down. A Symphony pulling strength from the heavens above rolled into Ro's mind; Iberl's influence was very much notable at a time like this, leaving the cosmic energies it lended Kofe to further empower that song within Teraphim's mind.

A soft piano. A relaxing strum of a harp. A feeling as warm as an embrace. One that held a child tightly; the same kind of love that Ella had given Kalina upon realizing her mistake.

The kind of love that transcended blood.

In hopes it would reduce that insanity.

[21:43] Kalina steps back a little.

[21:45] The ookami stayed silent all the while. Watching what happened through the view of a fortune teller. It was strange to see it go down, Two fortunes that happened at the same time perhaps?

But it was also the chaos of the cards. A soft sigh left his mouth before he simply shook his head once before. This was all too maddening. But..what could have actually caused this? Even he didn't know.

"Kalina..i'm sorry for his fortune coming true. Perhaps... I should stop telling fortunes after all right? This..is too much on my heart." Idly holding those new Tarot cards all the while.

Chaos was born from chaos, but this? Was a whole other level of confusion. One that he was begining to enjoy seeing.
(Noriko)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:47] She was beaten -

She wasn't able to fight back Ro's anger. She didn't know what could be causing this - what could be effecting him like this. Could it be something that was beyond his own emotions? She frowned - dusting herself up as Kofe approached...

Right - time to try and calm him down.

Ella's hands would come together as she would split into two forms. A silver strand connecting at her forehead. The spectral form of Astral Projected Ella would dash around Kofe - and approach Ro...

A hand would enter his form. She screamed out, the anger that was overcoming him would effect her too... She could feel it - something was broken. But what? What was causing this?!

Yet Ella would push back, reaching out towards his spirit itself. Pushing her magics into him - magics of a calming and soothing nature... She pushed them into him... Trying, to find a connection between this anger and something else. Something evil and out of her control-...

"Ro! Please!"

She spoke into his very soul...

"Wake up."

The words would transcends everyone's ears and enters his very body. He could hear it in every part of his body...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:50] While Kofe and Ella work on calming Ro down, arguably better than she felt as if she ever could, Kalina finds herself approached by Noriko. A hand pats down atop his head and she offers him a heartfelt smile.

"Don't worry about it, Noriko. This isn't your fault at all. I'm sure Ro will be just fine."
(Kalina Octavius)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:54] Kalina's words were the first thing to be heard, and when he heard it, it made his eyes widen and relax right then and there, almost as if it was slowly passing. "K-Kalina I-- This--"

Though, when the music started to pour into his mind to soothe the overstricken anger of Ro, he pulled his head back and started to show actual pain from this. Even though it wasn't the best way to fix it, it was soothing him entirely.

However, looking to see that Ella moved over to speak to the very soul, and telling it to wake up, the spirits were just watching in that very instant. Watching, learning and screaming at him, couldn't you hear it?

One of the wraiths were whispering free him.
The other was screaming to kill him.
The last one was saying to spare him.

It was a psychopathic way to keep him from calming down. However, when it came to Kalina saying those words and Noriko screaming fortunes, he literally dropped to his knees.

He screamed, both in pain and in anger. Screamed to Aschea oh, so loudly that the wraiths were silent for just that very second.

"Take me... to my beloved."

That is all he could say as his eyes rolled to the back of his head, only letting his eyes close and his body to go limp. The anger that he had for both of them subsided, and the 'illusion' was gone.

He was sleeping soundly, and letting the anger subside silently.
(Ro)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:58] He being soothed. Being... calmed, the same way Finley had been calmed back then. It was good, it was working in some sort of way. Though Kofe could clearly see the pain that seemed to affect the young Teraphim. That, on its own, was no good. His brows furrowed a bit as Ro's body collapsed, his concentration doubling over.

Kofe's performance wasn't over.

Even with his consciousness shutting down the sleeping, lost Ro would find himself being able to hear that symphony of beauty. That... gentle embrace that one could find amidst the stars, as if they were watching upon him, telling him that everything would be fine.

That this would be forgiven, yet not forgotten. One's mind was difficult to pilot at times and Kofe wanted to help with that.

Be it a young boy who went mad over his love, or an occultist gone mad seeking power; everyone deserved to make their mistakes on their own.

And so, the Lorespeaker doubled down, trying to mend the mental trauma the Teraphim was so-obviously suffering.
(Kofe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:01] She could hear them - the wraiths within his mind speaking out towards her. Instructing her, guiding her into doing something she would not. Yet these voices, while a cause for concern - were they the cause of this?

She knew that Flotsam was connected to Nethradin at one stage, but he never showed any signs of being a warlock or controlled by them, he simply drew on their power...

So Ella would attempt to draw on their power. Just like she would have done with the spirits that lingered in the wild - she pulled. Ro himself could feel it... She pulled at his spirit, and the wraiths that spoke within.

Trying to take some of the burden that he was feeling off him. Yet perhaps, in her attempts in doing so - she would feel something else. Something... Deeper within him - something that was effecting his psyche.

She frowned...

The least she wanted to do was absorb some of the anger he was feeling.. Even if she had been defeated, that wouldn't mean that she would not attempt to try and fix him.
(Ella Gracia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:04] It'd become something of an unpleasant spectacle. She knew Ro was upset, but this? It went beyond anything she'd anticipated.

Kalina's heart sinks as his scream reaches her ears and she draws her vines back out from the sand. Slowly but surely, they were guided over to Ro to coil around him and drag him away from the two.

"I'm... I'm taking him back now. I get he's acting angry, but I don't think there's any need to go this far to calm him down. Isn't this a bit much?"

Without knowing what could actually be wrong with him, it felt excessive to Kalina.
(Kalina Octavius)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:06] Ella Gracia says, "We're not hurting him... "
[22:06] Kofe was doubling down the mind.
Ella was reaching into the soul and taking away the anger from his body.

Though as soon as she did, she would notice a little laughter that came from it. Though as it did, it was a faded memory. There was slights of anger and some hints of control for them both as it went away slowly.

Then, as soon as the tentacles of nature came to wrap around and drag, he went with him. He was asleep, properly, and now that he was around their beloved, he was able to relax soothingly and calmly as the sounds were still going on.

But in the very end, the Grand Priest could only best describe this as an enhanced awakening.

An awakening that he would have to further look down deeper himself.
