Matched Power

She began to growl loudly, after hours spent on blind wandering around the Caverns, dealing with yokai that decided to get too close to her, thinking that with Kengs leaving she was vunerable target, easy prey. They all were wrong, with her left eye's ability remaining unusable she venured like an idiot for hours, which slowly turned into days, leaving her exhusted and defeated.

Eventually she decided to rest against one of the caverns walls, soon starting to chuckle and whimper madly as emotions began to run rampart within her, leaving her believing that her own twin brother lied to her....her own twin brother lied after all of the years of her trusting him, the last member of the family she had left.

Lied and left to wander like fool around yokai infested caverns, breaking her will and one of the last bits of sanity she had within her, last bits that fought against progressing corruption sin of envy. Leaving her to slowly succumb to its mind twisting desire to acomplish things that were out of her reach, allow the wild desire for power and beauty to overtake her, breaking her memories and thoughts of people she knew, affecting her feelings towards them.

Especially ones she cared about, Samuel, Nyx, Salem, Crystal, Haru, Liluna...Katai... even the "Goddess" Alisaie... she began to envy them for having what she couldn't have. Samuel for his fast growth in power, Nyx for being out of the Dawn and never needing to deal with them. Crystal and Liluna for their beauty and blooming bodies, something her physical dissability never would allow her to gain, leaving her in shape of a little, girl...a child.

But mostly, she envied both, Katai and Alisaie, both for power their possesed and Alisaie for authority she possesed over everyone else in the Dawn itself. One day she was going to take it all away from them...at least that was what she believed in.

Samuel had let Salem go... He felt uneasy, would she keep her promise? Or would he have even more shit to deal with. Either way he wasn't happy, especially with the second not he recieved from Sophia. He entered the caves to finally... Finally go home. Then he saw her, Sophia... He would pull his hood back with tears beginning to stream down his eyes. "Sophia?.. Is... Is that really you?..." he said with a smile slowly growing on his face. He saw her about to exit but he had made it just in time. His face would be full of cuts, and body and armor dented.

He looked at her with all his love in his eyes. He got up from his knees and stumbled to her. "Sophia... I missed you so much!" He said hugging her.
(Samuel Ryozo)
Sophia was done packing her things, preparing to take her leave back to Dawn, slowly turning towards the southern exit before spotting that someone was running towards her, someone she recognized only when they spoke. that person being her twin, Samuel, vey same one that dared to lie to her back when he left a letter of his apparent wherebouts.

She glared at him as he hugged her, crying and rambling about missing her, resulting with her frustration growing rapidly, resulting with her body starting to tremble and release conceled amounts of depravity that began instantly radiating from her just as she moved to grab Samuel by his neck. She tried to lift him up with her blood forming around her hand just as she removed her mask and hood, revealing her glowing left iris and mad looking scowl on her face.

It was clear that Sophia wan't in the best mood and even with Samuels pitiful behavior she had little to no mercy for him at this point, soon making it clear to him through cold and commanding voice of what she though of his actions.

 "SO...after all this time and your damned letter you dare to appear, with tears in your eyes, Samuel!? After months of me wandering like fool, looking for you...you now dare to appear...now...after when I lost all of the respect towards you, twin brother...I hope you are prepared for concequences because I will not be merciful...I am going to teach you a lesson and then decide what to do with you..." she said before drawing her massive looking blade.
(Sophia Ryozo)
He would pull away and look confused at her... What was she doing?... "Sophia... What are you doing... Punish me? The Dawn will already punish me already for being away so long! Sophia seriously, look at me! I'm beat and battered! I've already been punished!" Samuel said getting a bit agitated himself. He put his hand on his face and shook his head. Everyone was different, it was like he didn't know anyone anymore... He looked up to her with her sword out. "please.. I promise I wont leave you like that again, just give me one more chance!" He begged.

He didn't even care about what he did at this point, if it was embarressing. "I already had to fight Salem, and now you?... Don't... Don't do this to me, please..." He begged once again. It would be the first time Sophia saw saddness, sumbmission from his brother. True sadness. He would even look like he's been through a lot himself...
(Samuel Ryozo)
She tightened her grip around the hilt with her expression becoming colder and more aggressive, there was a tiny bit of her that would likely forgive her twin brother but for now she had to keep her promised word of teaching him a lesson. She growled loudly as sparks began to appear around her blade just as she began to gather her energy, focusing it around her body while lowering it into stance.

She focused on her envy towards her twin brother, his careless behaviour and rapid growth in power, something that she couldn't match him at and yet desired to match or even beat it, using the envy as her determination and fuel to reach out for things she desired.

Samuel stood on her way and she was going to show him what it meant to go against her, she didn't speak and instead placed her mask on her face just before preparing to charge at him with all of her magic prepared to strike.
(Sophia Ryozo)
Well... Then, this was how it was going to be. As samuel began to realize that he suddenly stopped. He stood up straight and pulled his hood over masking his face. Samule would take out his wand and look at his sister, still saddened. Suddenly an aegis of water surrounded him. He looked at her for a moment then sighing. He really didn't want to do this. Not now at least, he just hoped she could forgive him after this battle.

Samuel would pull out his want, bustling with colors. He looked at her and smirked. "Let's get this over with quick shall we?" Samuel said. He snapped his fingers and suddenly his aura would begin to flux, spreading and splashing everywhere. Suddenly little water spurts would come up and three little water spouts would start to form, growing larger and larger. He was ready. He looked her dead in the eye as she did the same to him...
(Samuel Ryozo)
painfully!
Her external blood boiled and bubbled loudly, reflecting her rage and determination which led her body to swing the blade mercilessly, sending her blows at her twin brother, along with her blood and water whips, continusly striking him with all he had, twisting her own hand just as she kept advancing through her twins pet, striking him with misma and lightnings, forcing him to back away and stagger with each strike.

She was mad to point where most of her strikes were joined by her echoing, furious roars which embodied her will to bring Samuel down, taking her time with him until finally deciding to gather her first around her arm into massive fist and slam it against his stomach, breaking his water aura and forcing him few feet to the back before deciding to lower her stance once more before deciding to prepare for another round.

It was clear that her twin wasn't done just yet and that she would have to continue with her onslought just to ensure she was triumpthat, for now not sheading a word, too blinded by her envy filled desire to defeat him.
(Sophia Ryozo)
He was impressed. He forgot how strong his sister was! "D-damn Sophia, you're really strong! Just like last time! I'm proud.." He said lifting himself up off the ground. She was definatly stronger than him, but maybe, just maybe from the last round he had weakened her enough to win. If he did, then it would be a draw, exactly what he was hoping for. Despite not actually being stronger, he needed it. He was worried that this fight wasn't actually her punishment for him, if that was true, oh he had to win now!

Samuel got back into a fighting pose and suddenly the three typhoons would appear and start to grow again. He was ready to fight his sister once again. He needed to focus this time, he had to try his very best! Or else he would just be some other weakling in this world... Unable to do anything to anyone, even if Samuel knew that wasn't true it sure felt true.
(Samuel Ryozo)

A draw. Yes, exactly what samuel hoped for! Even though she technically won. His typhoons disoriented her while he attacked her. When he was getting hurt he would turn into a mist form and allow the scraps of his typhoon to heal him. It was definatly a close battle, hard fought, but in the last round, Samuel won. When she was beginning to visably grow tired and weak from the fight Samuel went in and punched her in the gut sending her a few paces back. "Looks like a draw, huh sis?" Samuel said through his heavy panting. They were both too tired to continue fighting, but int all honesty it was fun!

Samuel stood up straight and crossed his arms. "Look... I know I left... I know your mad... But I want to forget this whole expirience ever happened to be honest... Sophia, c'mon... Why don't we go home now." he said. The word home would stand out like a sore thumb. It rang in Samuel's ears especially, he wanted to go back so bad, even if he would have to face a probably punishment with the radient dawn.
(Samuel Ryozo)
Months spent within the caverns, along with straining practice with her eye, resulting with her quickly draining herself of her energy, ending up with her twin managing to push her until she stumbled back, soon landing on her knees, groaning and panting loudly, frustrated at herself for not winning against her twin.

As feared, his power was growing in rapid pace, allowing him to match her in fight and stopping her from taking her revenge and teaching him a lesson and proving that she was better than him. She slammed her first against the ground and snorted loudly upon hearing him, soon responding to him with angered voice.

 "Its not only about...you leaving...its about how quickly you grow stronger...this isn't fair...you were always weaker, I keep training, straining myself and yet you catch up...this...isn't fair..."  she mumbled out with her roaring and slamming her own fists against the rock, resulting with her mind focusing more on her desire to get stronger than her twin and allowing the envy to corrupt her further.
(Sophia Ryozo)
Samuel Ryozo: <*Walks over and puts a hand on her shoulder*> Sophia.... Does it matter? I'm your brother, I love you. If you ever find yourself in an unbeatable situation I'll be right there beside you. Starting now.
Samuel Ryozo: Now... Let's go home...
