Seth V Eliphas, combining spiritual magic with flames

[14:12] Nikolai pyr Docro says, "Hello, Eliphas."
[14:12] Tara Tuffam says, "A spar o' sorts."
[14:12] Eliphas Aegeus says, "Hey there Nik, Tara."
[14:12] Nikolai pyr Docro says, "I heard you tried to rob my little brother, Seth."
[14:12] Eliphas Aegeus says, "Yes, he has my father's bow."
[14:12] Nikolai pyr Docro says, "Mhm. Well, there's two problems with that."
[14:12] Nikolai pyr Docro says, "One, it's not your fathers anymore."
[14:12] Nikolai pyr Docro says, "Two, I don't appreciate attacks on my family."
[14:13] Eliphas Aegeus asks, "Oh?"
[14:13] Eliphas Aegeus says, "Well that's funny."
[14:13] Eliphas Aegeus says, "Cause it won't be Seth's too longer."
[14:13] Nikolai pyr Docro asks, "What're you implying?"
[14:14] Eliphas Aegeus says, "Surely your smart enough to know Nik. I plan on retrieving it by any means."
[14:14] Nikolai pyr Docro says, "..."
[14:14] Nikolai pyr Docro whispers something.
[14:14] Nikolai pyr Docro whispers something.
[14:14] Eliphas Aegeus says, "Just because your family stole it from his corpse."
[14:14] Eliphas Aegeus says, "Doesn't mean that it's rightfully yours."
[14:14] Tara scratches her nose blithely.
(Tara Tuffam)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:14] Nikolai pyr Docro says, "No, we didn't just steal it from his corpse."
[14:15] Nikolai pyr Docro says, "We killed your father not once but twice."
[14:15] Nikolai pyr Docro says, "Then pried it off from his cold, dead body like vultures."
[14:15] Eliphas Aegeus says, "...."
[14:15] Eliphas Aegeus says, "I'm glad that you know our families history."
[14:16] Eliphas Aegeus asks, "Do you believe that history repeats itself? Or do you think that it'll change this time?"
[14:17] The Docro takes the cigarette out from between his lips, "Well, seeing as I'm twice as strong as Seth.. and he made you look like a little kid.

Safe to say, you're not getting out of this alive. Best hope that the Church can perform another miracle."
(Nikolai pyr Docro)
[14:20] The Aegeus scoffs as his grin widens.

Taking a couple of steps forward, he places himself before Nikolai as he meets his gaze.

"Your brother got lucky. Why don't we find out for ourselves who's stronger?" nodding his head towards the space north of them, Eliphas suggested for a bout right now.

"Why don't we let our actions speak for themselves."
(Eliphas Aegeus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:22] There's a slow, lazy, and perhaps unamused gaze that finds it's way to Eliphas who stands in front of himself.

"Well, we could but I'm also a betting man. The other option is you cough up 6,000 coin for a pop of my product.

This'll not only make you stronger but give me coin in return. Gives you a chance to get that bow back and makes the fights worth watching."
(Nikolai pyr Docro)
[14:28] Eliphas chuckles at the unamused expression that Nikolai displayed.

He's always heard rumors about the ignorance and self confidence that the Docro's held. The drugged up fiends that continued to do whatever they pleased, despite the damage that may come to their community.

Or better yet, Eternia.

His lips thinned as he couldn't careless about whatever Nikolai was selling, nor for what it did.

"I don't need your product to beat your ass." he offered. "Now are you going to keep on stalling? Or can we continue on to our fight?"
(Eliphas Aegeus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:30] "Right. Follow me," he says with a wave of his hand and a few slow strides north. In his wake, footprints are left in the sand which quickly rise back up after the pressure to it's surface. The sun was hotter out here in the desert. A shame Nikolai wore his trench coat today. He brings out that large gunblade that shimmers with Primordial essence and faces the Aegeus like his father had many a years back.
(Nikolai pyr Docro)
[14:42] "Of course." he smiled as his eyes glowed a vibrant blue.

His hand reached for hulking blade that rested on his back before he pulled it free from it's latches.

In a downward arc, he swung his blade before leveling it out towards the Docro. "You know, I'd want to say how it's a shame that this dispute between our families is still here. How we can move past that."

Flames slowly collect around the metal of his blade as he stepped towards the Docro. Just as his father had many years ago, this was fate.

Spiritual essence escaped the Aegeus's form as he moved towards Nikolai, taking slow steps at first. Only to break out into a hurried run as he rose his blade.
(Eliphas Aegeus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:44] "Perhaps we can, you never know, Aegeus," Nikolai replies. The Docro remains stalwart, unwavering like a brickwall of a human being as Eliphas charges through the sands with blade raised. The maifoso however waits, and waits, taking his time watching Eliphas' stance, blade, form, before swerving off to the side. His own gunblade, Augury is drawn forward in swiping slashes as Nikolai gets close.
(Nikolai pyr Docro)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:48] With crushing blocks of earth that rise up from beneath the sand, Nikolai gains the upper hand in the assault. He weaves Eliphas' dangerous blasts of fire that cause him to sweat under this blistering sun, then moves in close. Matching the Aegeus blow for blow with wild swings of his gunblade. There's little form or rhythm to such a style, more like a maifoso doing what he can to achieve victory.

"Ah.. not bad. You've improved since fighting my brother Seth, haven't you?" he mulls over with this disinterested base to his voice.
(Nikolai pyr Docro)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:57] Earthquakes erupted as waves explosions riddled the yellow sands.

The very grounds itself shifted, and transformed under the will of the Docro. Bending Eternia itself to his will as the battle raged on. Sparks flew as Eliphas's Nyshek blade clashed against Nikolai's gunblade.

It wasn't surprising for the two to rival the other in their strengths, as they moved to trade blows, each of them returned to away with damage on either ends.

"If I'm being honest with you, I'm not at my best." he smiled, "It's not as fun as you would think to move around in armor that weights twice as much as you."

(Eliphas Aegeus)
[15:07] "I don't know if you tripped up there but..." A sadisitic smile splayed across his face. "Seth seems stronger than you."

Be it a vulgar taste, or just plain pay back. Eliphas didn't care for the pedestal that the Docro's stood on. Nor did he care for the threat that their family was.

He was Dallan's and Meia's son.

If they stepped out of place, he'd be the one humble them. Severely if needed.

The Aegeus's essence grew. Slowly, wisps collected around his form. Empowering him with their spirit as his blade came across Nikolai's gunblade.

Despite the size of his weapon, Eliphas was able to swing it with efficiency. Slashing away at their form with precision as the metal drew away blood. With his free hand, he'd unleash waves of explosion that sent the mafioso across the burning hot sands.

"Still uninterested in me?" he taunted beckoning them to stand up with their blade.
(Eliphas Aegeus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:11] There's the arch of one of those blonde-red brows as Nikolai is sent knocked back by that inferno of fire that leaves Eliphas' fingertips. It sends the Docro across the harsh golden sands. Slowly, with a shrug and smoke trailing up from his form, he takes a stand once more. Ah. This was getting interesting now.

It also started to become more competitive for the Docro whose jade eyes find the Aegeus' form. With a twist of his gunblade, lofted forward and levelled in front of himself, the earth beneath his feet starts to rift and tremor. Shifting as he begins to use more of his magical strength.

"We'll see, won't we?" Nikolai asks with the rise of his gunblade.
(Nikolai pyr Docro)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:14] {Lost Aggressive RPB against Nikolai pyr Docro}
[15:14] ** Nikolai pyr Docro has inflicted an injury upon Eliphas Aegeus. ("Temporary Injury", "Temporary Injury", "Temporary", "") **
[15:23] The Docro weaves in and out, using his feet more in this half of the fight and timing his spells with more efficiency than previous. Several close strikes are dodged which gives him the necessary time to pull forth with the victory. And he capitalizes with a large tidal wave of mud that tracks sand along with it. It swallows the Aegeus and ties him to the ground for a few valuable seconds.. which the Docro of course utilizes.

"Ah, that got the heart pumping," he says, a few steps bring him closer to Eliphas. "Now, what were you saying?" those jade eyes narrow on Eliphas' form as he closes in, slow strides with no care to rush in and capture the Aegeus.

"You have some nerve for a man dumped by a Gardios.. or were you the one doing the dumping? It doesn't matter but I do see why my father was interested in yours.. I'll make a deal with you. Ever manage to defeat me and I'll tell you where Seth has kept your bow," Nikolai says, looming over Eliphas a few steps away.
(Nikolai pyr Docro)
[15:50] Taking a breath, Eliphas calmed himself. He knew of the defeats that he's had in the past from pure overconfidence, same with overthinking matters when going against a powerful magi.

Especially with someone like Vekel.

Silencing his breath, he looked inwards once more. Calming his heart as he knew this battle would be one that would rage on for ages to come. As the spirits gathered around him, covering him with their power as they began to merge with his being. With his aura.

He felt them powering his movements, overflowing his mana circuits as they pushed him forward a burst of raw energy!

The Aegeus moved haphazardly, bounding forward as the power consumed him. His attacks were destructive once he connected, but the Docro's steps changed. Several of his own attacks were close calls as they battled on, all until he lunged forward, trying to seize an opportunity of his own.

However, it was just what Docro needed. Bating himself as a massive tidal wave of mud consumed him. Throwing him against the ground before binding him for a few valuable seconds.

The spirits dispersed from his aura, quickly departed as he laid on the floor defeated. The immeanse power that he had felt before, the overwhelming essence that once controlled him. Vanished, creating a feeling of loss in his soul.

Slowly rising to a knee as he looked up to meet Nikolai's gaze. "My words remain the same."

Taking another step, he rose to a stand. Only to become baffled by their statement of him and the Gardios. Choosing to ignore it, Eliphas smiled at the deal that Nikolai purposed.

"I've always heard that making a deal with a Docro is like making a deal with a devil." he smirked. "Perhaps I was wrong about Seth being stronger than you. But regardless of any deal we make. There's one definitive answer."

His eyes narrowed.

"The bow will be mine at the end of theday."

He wasn't like others, he commended worthy foes. Even if he did lose, but he wouldn't go as far to let it get to their head.

"Next time we fight, be ready. Because it won't be me on the ground." he spoke as he began to dust off the mud that collected on his gear.

"Good fight.."
(Eliphas Aegeus)
[15:56] "Ah, perhaps it is like making a deal with a devil. It's only a shame that you didn't go about getting your bow properly, Eliphas!" The Docro says with this dry tone and steely-eyed look that comes upon the Aegeus. The comment about Eliphas' girlfriend was meant to hurt, a sadistic thing, Nikolai was when pushed.

Much like Eliphas however, Nikolai also understood being a good loser, so, there's a degree of respect earned, as slight as it may be. "Right," he replies, turning and walking off.
(Nikolai pyr Docro)
[16:02] Eliphas frowned, the proper way about retrieving his father's bow?

Did Nikolai know what they were saying?

"I don't think you'd want me to do that Nikolai..." his voice fell as his eyes glowed. "If I went about it properly? It would be killing each one of your siblings including yourself." his lips thinned as he continued to brush off his clothing.

"Then.. Just like Niffty, I'd pry the weapons from your cold dead bodies."

"Only then that would be the proper way."

With a roll of his shoulders, his hand grabbed at his jaw as he cracked his head to the side.

"I find just beating the shit out of you all until I recover the bow for myself good enough. I don't plan to go about it that way..."

Yet.

"Take care Nikolai."
(Eliphas Aegeus)
