[18:38:56] She simply watched and listened, no reactions given as the other woman decided to 'correct' everything that had happened before hand. She crossed her arms over her chest and watched as Hendrix did his thing though what she really didn't expect was to be thrown on the spot like that. But alas she did enjoy being put on the spot, a grin creeping across her face as she took a spot in front of Nefertari. She wanted so many things from the woman that stood there in front of her, so many things that were always so far out of her grasp though now it all felt so close. She gave Hendrix a nod in response before fully focusing on Nefertari.

"She attempted to get my own flesh and blood to kill me. No matter what delusional rationale for it all that she harbors in that head of hers I don't care about. But that's just it. . ." She looked to HEndrix and gave a bit of a shrug seeming to have come to this decision a while before hand, way before this whole conversation even started. "I want her head Hendrix. Myself, My children, Nostvale and the Church aren't safe. . ."

Perhaps she was simply blinded by her own desires to not see how much of a folly this was with war just on the horizon, though she didn't care. This was what she was focused on now. This is what she needed now. She would fight for it if she had to, though anyone could guess waht the outcome of that would be.
(Aksana Hirano)
[18:47:28] A smile came to her face as the already drawn Aker was gripped tightly by the woman's right arm, her eyes looked on forward toward Aksana who then wanted her head. "I have always fought for Nostvale and the church, and unlike you Aksana; I actually win my battles. If you want 'my head' Aksana, I invite you to take it yourself." Otherwise, Nefertari would walk straight out of here. It was the way Judas would have preferred it, yes? If there was a dispute to be handled between two parties, an honorable duel was how he prefered it done.

"If Hendrix kills me it will be for his own gratification. Not yours." She knew that personally, he wanted Nefertari dead more than many others. And for such foolish, self-centered reasons as well. But wasn't that what the cult of Belial about? Sacrificing others for your own means? Regardless; the woman locked her eyes onto Aksana, only to flicker them toward Hendrix. A second of analysis before she looked back over toward Aksana.

"Hmph. If you do not wish for an honor-duel Aksana then I prefer to go see my son."
(Nefertari Hirano)
[18:50:01] Hendrix Este: [ gonna eat one sec ]
[18:57:42] Hendrix Este: [ oh look. that mermaid that tried to steal away Abram ]
[18:57:42] Hendrix Este: [ forgot about that ]
[18:58:33] Hendrix Este: [ meh. will handle it later ]
[18:58:33] Hendrix Este: [ back from food. reading now ]
[19:16:28] Walking straight out would be pretty god damn silly if Nefetari had paid any attention to what had been said, and how this might go down. With Aksana's choice made, and this seeming to go that very bitter and very gruesome way. . .

"Tell me where the honor exists in turning a child against their mother, Nefertari. Find it for me, and I'll consider this 'honor-duel' that you think you deserve." Axe still rested on shoulder, but now- back into his previous position, and seeking to bar the spear-wielder from exiting.

Leering down at her. Talking seemed to be done, and he seemed set on the choice given. "Aksana has spoken, and your options are slim, and none- She does not have to face you at all if she would rather have me. Should she want to fight you? That's fine as well, but remember: this choice-by my ruling- is just regardless of the one chosen."

The author is stressed, and wasn't expecting this- forgive this post, and Aksana, ad Nefertari; decide via white what's going on.
(Hendrix Este)
[19:16:28] Hendrix Este: [ i can't type. ]

[19:19:02] Nefertari Hirano: So then are you going to fight me, Aksana?
[19:19:53] Hendrix Este: [ ZEIG FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ]
[19:19:53] Aksana Hirano: No, I'm wise enough not to throw myself in a position where I myself can lose my life. Hendrix. . .if you would be so kind?
[19:20:44] Nefertari Hirano: Well...
[19:20:44] Nefertari Hirano: [wow my lowest]
[19:21:36] Hendrix Este: [ wow. my highest ]

[19:22:27] Hendrix Este: [ okay. it's just me right Zeig? ]
[19:22:27] Hendrix Este: [ or is this duo? ]
[19:22:27] Hendrix Este: [ i don't know, i rather one verb either way ]
[19:23:18] Aksana Hirano: Just you. .)
[19:23:18] Nefertari Hirano: [if it leads to char dev i want minimum Bo3]
[19:23:18] Nefertari Hirano: [cahr death*]
[19:23:18] Hendrix Este: [ got it ]
[19:23:18] Hendrix Este: [ zzzz i don't think this is even dev for me now ]
[19:23:18] Hendrix Este: [ but okay ]
[19:23:18] Hendrix Este: [ follow Zeig ]
[19:23:18] Nefertari Hirano: [i mean char death for me]
[19:24:09] Hendrix Este: [ follow ]
[19:24:09] Nefertari Hirano: [if it leads to that I rather it be a Bo3]
[19:30:08] It seemed like Hendrix wanted to fight. And by hell, Nefertari would have to give him that fight wouldn't she. "I'm not going to let myself be executed because of HER Hendrix. So be sure that when you kill me, you kill me for you, and not for her." The spear of the woman began to spin around just in case her attempts to flee would fail; and you know what? They actually did, causing her to trip on a rock due to adrenaline blinding her from proper path-finding.

The spear in the hand of the woman was qucikly drawn. It would see as though on this day she wasn't going to simply be allowed to get away free. Fuck; well this sucked, shadowflames were quick to burn around her body as the polearm of Aker was sued to help her catch her balace;

The muscle structure of the woman began to bulk ever so slightly, as her entire body quickly accelerated in power; she wasn't about to die. No, not yet. For her husband and her son. For her God and her King, she wouldn't allow a simple, easy death to come for her right then and now. "I guess fighting is unavoidable. Oh well. Perhaps I will be able to touch Belial's embrace directly soon."
(Nefertari Hirano)
[19:30:59] The way things had to be was cruel.

With no escape, Nefertari is detained; sentenced by a mother who felt her scorn could not be washed away unless death played a part. The Champion, used as a tool towards this end- his a hold she could not hope to shake this time in particular.

One singular powerful limb that was used to propel him forward, and a hand that sought to snatch her from her spot. Held there momentarily, and there- with no true contempt in his gaze - he prepares for what might be a incredibly detestable, and unforgiveable act yet again.

The Este with magical ability, and well-tuned control; propels Aksana, himself, and Nefertari outside of the city via land slab, etc. Out in the prairies- this a battle not to be seen by the city; morale is not to something he was willing to drop.

Zzzzzzz getting this done with

[19:32:41] Nefertari Hirano: [heart racing]
[19:37:48] It seemed Hendrix was not as strong as he made himself out to be. Oh well. Perhaps this was for the best. The woman didn't particularly care to die. Infact, she much rather live. With a son at home and a husband to care for; the woman tightened her hand upon Aker; holding onto it closely as she eyed the man infront of her. He was dangerous. Extremely dangerous. The fact that she managed to use the Length of Aker to buy her time and parry his blows while sweeping him at knee level was enough for the woman to get herself a moment of breathing space.

No way was she about to die here. Not to Hendrix. Not to Aksana. Not to anyone. Eyes of the woman locked in place as she focused on the man before her. Taking a moment to catch her breath, she couldn't secure a finishing blow if she wanted to by time he would be able to stand back up.

[20:09:23] Blows land, and while stunned- surprised actually- the Marshal never expecting this.

The fierceness with which she fought, and seeing it now... A very real fear was to be present in Aksana he imagined. Nefertari's strength, even if below his own in most cases- shone through today, and she dealt a huge blow to him it seemed. Stupefied in some way; he has no defense, and so crumbles against her on slaught of waves, and such that come.

Etc etc. child cried back to rp!

[20:12:48] You learnt the spell Scorch.
[20:15:21] The continuation is heavy. The might of flames brushes against one another, and the explosion of the earth that flies out as a result is catastrophic; debris blanketing lands, and stuff.

It's a mess -- bodies, and blades, and spears hit each other again, and again. Wounds are renewed, but soon to re-open; the motions of time working in his favor. Nefertari isn't as lucky this time -- catching his breath, steeling himself, and learning to actual keep distance.

A battle was won with a clear head, and that was what he aimed to have today. Unwilling to risk injury, unable to admit a fault in his choice today if such might turn-- I don't even know what i'm typing, brain is mush- continue.
(Hendrix Este)
[20:15:21] Hendrix Este: [ i'm not able to focus. zzzzz ]
[20:16:12] Damn it... DAMN IT. Hendrix was far too strong for Nefertari to handle on her own. Especially with this curse eating away at her flesh every time she took the damages from her opponent. It wasn't close to a graceful defeat of any kind. The woman had clearly fucked up and caused Hendrix to get some sort of ground against her. That could easily have spelt trouble for the occult woman if she wasn't too careful now.

Backed away by the clashings of weapons and the clashings of Magic, Nefertari's entire form begin to tremble underneath the weight that this battle may be her last; and that she may die before getting another chance to spend with the few people who loved her. "Azir... Sorry if Mommy don't come home. I love you. You too, Judas and Arcelia." The spear was once again twirled within Nefertari's grasp. It was time.

Win or lose, the way her heart beated as if it was on the line, intense. The only words she heard were in her own head.

[20:19:37] Hendrix Este: [ Nefertari won ]
[20:30:43] It was a hardfought battle. Of a man who attempted to murder her. Take her son away from her; harm her to the point of death, and be the sheep of Aksana's manipulation. Quickly, the woman approached the man after a blast wave of several bursts of fire, the spear marshal of the Viridan Legion was quick to rush over toward the man...

Aker's blade was used to Penetrade into his shoulder, pinning him down onto the ground as she was quick to place a foot ontop of his body. A hard fought. Long battle. One that Nefertari never wanted to fight again. The man who had violated her challenged her with death.

The man who had spread so many rumors about her, the man who had attempted to slay her on this very day on the advent of war. Nefertari's eyes could only glare at him in discontent. Was this truly how one of her allies; one of her King's most trusted soldiers should be? Drawing Aker from the wound, but still very clearly not allowing him to recover at all; she'd speak.

"You raped me. You took Kesi away from me, his mother. Despite him being born of your sinful lust... I still birthed him. You told me I was to have no part in his life. And then? This woman who isn't even good in worship, bed or battle... You follow her Whim?" Quick to motion her hand toward the axe that Hendrix was wielding; she took the weapon from him, only to stare down at him once more.

"After all you've done to me. After all you've done to shame my name. Make me feel like shit. Place fear in my heart, attempt to dishonor and shame me... I am willing to give you mercy. Because we; the Acolytes of Belial should NOT in-fight to the point of killing eachother. We Acolytes of Belial; Marshals of the Viridian Legion should not aim for eachother's head, for the safety and security of our village, King and faith.

So now Hendrix. This is the ultimatium.

Kesi is to know I am his mother, and I am to be in his life. You and everyone within Nostvale loyals who shames and dishonors me, as well as has hostilities against me; are to cease. And Aksana there?" With Axe lowered by Hendrix's body, and her spear pointed at the woman; she squinted.

"She is to die. To die for attempting to have me murdered. To die for being nothing more than a leech at the side of my King and husband."

[20:58:01] Pressed there, and disarmed. A spear in shoulder, and it to slid inward; pressing down, and as claims are made. Whether they be truth, or slander not to be determined, for all present there- or arriving- knew the truth as it stood.

"You kept yourself from him on Judas' words- do not pin that one me because you're nothing but a coward who can't stand up for herself!" He yells despite pain, and anything else holding against him.

Disarmed, and Fafnir's axe is stripped from his hold, leaving him with little in the way of protection save for blade otherwise left at hilt. She goes off on a monologue, and the author is saving time due to someone's ooc sleep schedule, so let's skip it.

"I'm not agreeing with any damn part of that- Kill me here if you want. You are not Kesi's mother; a whore is what you are, and a fake to this day!" Came the pained cries still even now. Refusal to bend, or to agree to those terms that were in no way in his favor.

"Should you not- I'll come after you again, touch Aksana and you'll pay a price- I swear that to you now. You're insane, and warped; your view of things has changed, and you should expect nothing but the death of a dog if you think that I'll remain here to watch as you move to kill my family." He wasn't for it.

As hans reaching out, one obstructed by her weapon- if still there - reaching out to her, pulling, tugging, and otherwise hoping to thwart advance in some way, shape, or form.
(Hendrix Este)
[20:58:52] Nefertari Hirano: [zeig]
[20:58:52] Nefertari Hirano: [r u gonna say anyth---]
[20:58:52] Nefertari Hirano: [ok]
[21:06:33] Everything had quickly spiralled out of control. An overwhelming amount of guilt washing over her. Perhaps it would have been easier to claim an arm or something of that sort, but Aksana wanted more then that and she still wanted much much more then that. She stared at the two of theman angered glare on her face as she looked between Nefertari and Hendrix, nearly frozen in place She had to move back, she had to force her body to shift backwards at least in an attempt to get the hell out of dodge before getting an axe throuhg her head. Though alas she didn't feel right leaving Hendrix there, she wouldn't be able to go on losing a member of her family like that.

She drew her blade just in case though it wasn't like it would really do much in the grand scheme of things. Momentary protection? Perhaps some comfort in the low metallic hum that reverberated through it as it was kissed by her lunar mana? Regardless of the reason, she stood there ready should all else fail.
(Aksana Hirano)
[21:14:14] Both Aksana and Hendrix had wanted to kill Nefertari; and Hendrix himself had said he'd never stop hunting her in an attempt to kill her if she didn't slay him right ehre and now. Being that she valued her own life a great deal---- and Hendrix wasn't known for intentionally going back on his words, the woman would speak. "I wonder what it is like for an Executioner to taste the bite of his own axe." And with that, the blood-colored weapon was raised up into the air. A smirk grew on her face.

"By the moon's light, I hope your soul finds the embrace of Belial in death. My desires do not line up with being killed or hunting; living in fear for the rest of my existance." If Aksana wanted to have her moment to protect Hendrix's life, She was now given a small chance as the blade of the weapon was enlarged by Shadowflames.

However if she did not? The Axe would quickly slam down vertically acrros Hendrix's form, ripping the man down from head-to-loins straight in half, but the hellfires upon the blade's edge were not simply done there with their destruction, the would continue to burn at rapidly; the body of the man, she couldn't simply leave evidence of Hendrix's death around after he had hunted her for a couple years now, making her run about in fear.

"Goodbye, Hendrix. If only you could drop your petty little grudge."
(Nefertari Hirano)
[21:14:14] Nefertari Hirano: [if Aksana wants to stop me she can but it'd result in a verb]
[21:14:14] Ariadne Avharain: ... ]
[21:15:05] Hendrix Este: [ they can enter at this point right? ]
[21:15:05] Admin: Only people who were at the verb prior. )
[21:15:56] Admin: Nef is attempting a kill, only Aksana can stop it. )
[21:16:48] Hendrix Este: [ erm.. their rpl difference is really steep ]
[21:16:48] Admin: Unfortunate. )
[21:17:39] Admin: But the scene must reach its conclusion before others can waddle into this field. )
[21:19:21] Hendrix Este: [ i'd really feel better if i could get that final verb in due to death, but okay. This is fine. ]
[21:21:04] It was a bad idea, it was most definetely a bad idea.

Regardless of how bad of an idea it was for one thiking of self preservation a bolt of hellstorm would rip through the air and attempt to touch down right where Nefertari was standing. Aksana stepped forward readying her blade. She shook her head at the younger woman and spat at the ground once more.

"You're one to talk about being petty you fuckign cunt." She finally spoke, her form flowing free with the aura of their lord as she closed teh distance. She wasn't about to at least try to defend herself and Hendrix even if she knew how damn stacked the odds were agaisnt her at this point.

"Get the fuck away from my nephew."

She stepped forward and swung her blade rather wildly in the direction of teh younger woman hiping to at least get her to do the more unlikely thing and back off.

[21:27:53] Aksana was just about ready to get this over with, her hands tightly grippign her blade as she rushed forward at Nefertari. She had barely trained in anything, she had barely done anything yet here she was basically fighting for her life as well as Hendrix's. There was no way in hell this could possibly go wrong right?

She mumbled prayers beneath her breath as she rushed forward in hipes that perhaps Belial would bless her with some kind of surge of power. Perhaps Marrowitt or some other apostle would drop down from out of nowhere and cease this nonsense, though it was all so unlikely.


(Aksana Hirano)
[21:31:18] Well this was starting to become a mess. THe blade that Aksana threw forward was fast enough that Nefertari couldn't continue the charge the axe with shadowflames to sever the man without taking a critical blow herself. How unfortunate. Nefertari WAS going to spare Aksana until she screwed up again; leaving her to debate whether to report what happened, knowign what Nefertari would do if she found out, but now that she was stopping this?

No. That wouldn't be allowed. Dodging the blade, the woman simply chuckled, her shadowflames dancing around her form as she glared over at Aksana. She was pretending to be the little hero... cute.

"What's wrong? You're plan to kill me failed, using your NEPHEW as your meatshield and now you want to hope you can make it out of here with him alive? After all the shit you both put me through I was going to let one of you live. But now? No. I am tired of these games you play Aksana. This has been a long time coming... I was hoping that Arcelia's mission succeeded but... I guess you can't make a child do a woman's job." The spear was spun around in one hand, As the axe was dropped momentarily, she was a much better spearswoman than an axe fighter anyway.
(Nefertari Hirano)
[21:32:09] Hendrix Este: [ oh. so for now am i... just sort of lingering there not cut in half? ]
[21:32:09] Hendrix Este: [ to be clear... ]
[21:33:00] {combat} Aksana Hirano has been defeated by Nefertari Hirano! They're unable to continue fighting.
[21:33:00] {combat} Aksana Hirano has been defeated by Aksana Hirano! They're unable to continue fighting.
[21:33:00] Hendrix Este: [ wow ]
[21:34:43] Hendrix Este: [ whose bank is this? ]
[21:37:16] Aksana Hirano: (can we hurry this up please, 3 is my hard cutoff rn and its 2:34)
[21:44:06] Nefertari's up close, frontal damage was something to be feared by many. She focused hard on her firey attacks and rarely; if ever, shown any form of sympathy or remorse in a battle until it was ended---usually pulling away from a kill before it could be dealt. However for these two who had been nuisances to her for quite some time, and would be threats to her should she continue to allow them mercy? No.

They'd be executed right then and there; where they had planned to execute her. Where they had both spent so much time begging to kill her. After being hounded for so many years by the both of them for various reasons; she was finally able to take a moment of Blissful-vengence...

ANd so Aker was thrusted forward, the spear not going through hest or stomach; or even through the brain, instead, it was through into her mouth; giving her a few moments of pain before she'd inevidably drown in her own blood, or from the spine being destroyed if the spear's accuracy was enough. From there, she dragged Aker--- Arcelia attached, over to the downed Hendrix and the axe.

"You two tried to murder me. You too tried to KILL me. Hunt me. Make my life a living Atmos. But I got you back. I finally got you back. AHAHAHA! You little attempts on my life; FAILED. How does it feel? The dread that at any moment, you could die at my hands." The bloodlust she held back for so long, finally being able to be sate. A euphoric sensation.

Grasping onto the Axe with her free hand, the weapon was once more charged with shadowflames, while the very same dark-violet embers began to wrap around Nef's spear arm like a snake, going up Aker and rushing into her body and wound; attempting to destroy her, and any other material that was not heat-resistant upon her form. From there...? The Axe was swung at Hendrix, ripping him downward in half; just as she originally intended.

"Killing two birds with one stone. People who harassed me and wished me dead... Beautiful. But at least there is no one that will keep me away from being happy with Judas..! Mhmhmhm."

[21:48:22] Nefertari Hirano: [!!!!!!]
[21:49:13] Hendrix Este: [ well they both have it ]
[21:49:13] Better Admin: ( we have recieved logs specifically stating this is a battle not to be seen by the city )
[21:50:04] Hendrix Este: [ yeah. it's not within the city walls for that reason. should've clarified more, but was pressed for time icly, considering it- go with it how you will ]
[21:50:56] Admin: (It does say not to be seen by the city, so... we can only assume it's not that close to the city itself.)
[21:50:56] Better Admin: ( since the rp was specifically to avoid anybody seeing it, to avoid morale )
[21:50:56] Hendrix Este: [ but he was not flying haymay across prairies, just pressed for time- been saying that throughout the whole seen at random - okay ]
[21:50:56] Better Admin: ( it really seems like the whole scene just backfired on you guys so rip )
[21:50:56] Nefertari Hirano: [yeah...]
[21:51:47] Better Admin: ( in the same way no one would know exactly when neferteri died, it now falls on you )
[21:51:47] Better Admin: ( and so the scene cannot be entered until neferteri has left )
[21:51:47] Hendrix Este: [ yeah it's fine ]
[21:51:47] Ariadne Avharain: what happens w/ the apostle that hendrix had ]
[21:51:47] Hendrix Este: [ ahhh i will rp it better next time- sorry guys. i was preoccupied ]
[21:51:47] Hendrix Este: [ oh yeah ]
[21:52:38] Hendrix Este: [ there's a fucking spider that lives in me zzzz ]
[21:52:38] Cade Kyros: ( you become spider man and live a life of fighting crime in new york
[21:52:38] Cade Kyros: ( Is it new york...
[21:52:38] Nefertari Hirano: [chaz pls...]
[21:52:38] Hendrix Este: [ yes ]
[21:52:38] Admin: (Was it an apostle that was not Marrowit?)
[21:53:29] Hendrix Este: [ Leyak ]
[21:53:29] Hendrix Este: [ yes, recently went on event for it ]
[21:53:29] Hendrix Este: [ Jesse plays it ]
[21:53:29] Hendrix Este: [ went on event for communion with it* ]
[21:53:29] Hendrix Este: [ that was successful ]
[21:54:20] Hendrix Este: [ i'll leave it up to Jesse to decide how that plays out- i just rp it as an ever present thing; be it spider, or the shade form she expressed in event ]
[21:58:36] And so the battle, if it could really be called that, ended in the same way that Aksana and probably anyone else would have figured it would. Nefertari the victor and Aksana laying there slumped over covered in multiple wounds. Pain surged through her body though she still managed to keep up the flow of lunar mana around her. She still tried to keep her grip on Red Moon as tight as possible a emotionelss expression on her face as she stared up at Nefertari. She was angry, she was sad, but she was also quite happy.

Indeed her final moments were happy thoughts of finally leaving this existance and perhaps finding something better in the next. Her mind clung to a single idea, one that tugged at the sides of her lips to form a grin before the spear was rammed through her mouth and the back of her skull. The pain was something that no one could put into words, though as she slowly drowned in her own blood and faded away a single name simplye echoed throughout her head.

Judas? No, that would be silly. Vareline? No she was a possesion a this point, her name would not echo. Belial? Despite her devout nature no the name of the sealed god was not one that rung repeatedly in her head as she slowly released red moon to the ground and went limp.

Kasha, indeed the sin of sloth's name continued to echo in her mind in hopes that she would see him once more in death. Such a thought gave her comfort as her last breath was released via small bubbles in the pool of blood that had formed in her mouth.

And with that. . .she was gone.
(Aksana Hirano)
[22:00:19] Admin: The Apostle returns back to the Moon. )
[22:00:19] Admin: It no longer possesses a dead body and cannot exist as a symbiote inside of a cultist. )
[22:00:19] Admin: Not dead. A body. )
[22:01:10] Nefertari Hirano: [oh right, one last thing.]
[22:01:10] Ariadne Avharain: was it one of the 4/13? ]
[22:01:10] Hendrix Este: [ yeah ]
[22:01:10] Hendrix Este: [ it's one of the four ]
[22:01:10] Hendrix Este: [ it can exist without a body, it stayedwillingly ]
[22:01:10] Cade Kyros: ( So now that means 3/14?
[22:01:10] Cade Kyros: ( Oh
[22:01:10] Hendrix Este: [ i believe, if i recall what chance said correctly [
[22:02:01] Hendrix Este: [ based on if i did anything with it, and got a player to control it ]
[22:02:01] Admin: (If it's one of the released apostles then it can remain on its own, iirc. But we'll have to double check and let you know.)
[22:02:01] Hendrix Este: [ this was the day everyone got Belial's aura ]
[22:02:01] Hendrix Este: [ okay ]
[22:04:35] Hendrix Este: [ i guess one thing to consider elsewhere ]
[22:05:26] Hendrix Este: [ LEaving the city in an explosion of rock, and rubble- icly Vareline, Hassan, Kesi were there ]
[22:05:26] Hendrix Este: [ for those present as this scene progressed from within nostvale outwards ]
[22:06:17] Admin: Vareline, Hassan, and Kesi also left the scene prior to your eruption. )
[22:06:17] Admin: They would have not been around to see you cast the rock with the three of you on it outside. )
[22:06:17] Ariadne Avharain: well ]
[22:06:17] Ariadne Avharain: I'll go back into the city. ]
[22:07:08] Hendrix Este: [ okay. making sure- i'm not sure how often, but if out of any of them- Vareline is aware of the business between all three; older scenes confirm that if there ever comes a time one might contest her finding it fishy we do not return ]
[22:07:08] Hendrix Este: [ but that's up to Vareline ]
[22:07:08] Nefertari was quick to motion over toward the remains of Aksana, There was something that wa supposedly a sacred treasure to the faith of Belial; and also a pretty decent weapon that could use a new home. Perhaps she'd find it one in one of her children who worshipped the cult? Either way, the smolding ashes that were what Aksana was becoming as Nefertari's shadowflames still continued to travel through her remains were quickly reached at...

And the Red Moon was taken; a blade said to be used for specific Belial rituals, to let the item go without a proper wielder? That'd be heretical almost... Wouldn't it? But as she grasped at it, her own fires made the weapon heated, causing her to recoil her hand, grasp at her cloak and use it as a medium to grasp the blade without burning her hand.

Oh. The Axe was kept too, she used it to kill one person already, might as well keep it too---Or also find it another wielder worthy of carrying it.

Tori hates unique weapons vanishing anyway if they look cool or have neat ICs...
(Nefertari Hirano)
[22:07:08] Admin: That is fine, but in this instance, she would have not been able to detect where you were going. Only the arguement leading up to her departure. )
[22:07:08] Admin: She may tell others that Hendrix was last seen with Nef from her perspective. )
[22:08:00] Admin: And that is all. )
[22:08:00] Aksana Hirano: so youre just taking red moon yeah?)
[22:08:00] Nefertari Hirano: [yeah]
[22:08:00] Hendrix Este: [ red moon? ]
[22:08:00] Nefertari Hirano: [It's a belial-related unique dagger/sword/thing]
[22:08:00] Hendrix Este: [ oh. and the axe ]
[22:08:00] Nefertari Hirano: [itd be silly to let it vanish]
[22:08:00] Hendrix Este: [ okay ]
[22:08:00] {Item} You picked up Red Moon.Dropped by Aksana Hirano.
[22:08:51] {Item} You picked up Nidhoggr, Holy Axe Of Kark.Dropped by Hendrix Este.
