A new Champion

[11:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mu...Orion..."
[11:23] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I want to practice with both of you."
[11:23] Orion Sinclair asks, "Hm?"
[11:23] Orion Sinclair says, "Are you sure?..."
[11:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Y-....Yeah."
[11:24] Orion Sinclair says, "Cosmic Paladin, that can put a strain on you and your mana..."
[11:24] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "....I know, that's why I want to do it."
[11:25] Orion Sinclair says, "----....Then I'll gladly push you to the brink, if growth is what you seek."
[11:25] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Thank you."
[11:46] Myrrah Sinclair asks, "Oh! You're a cosmic magi right?"
[11:47] Orion Sinclair says, "Hm, let's see how this works out."
[11:47] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Huh? Oh, yeah, I am."
[11:48] Myrrah Sinclair says, "Mmm... do you mind if I observe... I have some resrearch to do..."
[11:48] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Oh, of course you can observe, silly."
[11:48] Myrrah Sinclair says, "Mmm...."
[11:48] Myrrah Sinclair says, "Thank you..."
[11:49] Orion Sinclair says, "Little Ocean..."
[11:51] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Big Ocean...."
[11:51] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Fight me like I'm a vampire!"
[11:52] Katrin Weiner says, "Vampire Igleta, come bite me when you're done."
[11:52] Orion Sinclair says, "Aye..."
[11:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "I totally will... I'll bite you like a maniac!"
[11:52] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Raawr."
[11:53] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Ooof!"
[11:55] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That blue thingie is creepy."
[11:59] Orion Sinclair says, "Haha, I should consider myself lucky that you're not a vampire...I'd end up as your next meal... I know that if I can stand up to them, you will be able to as well...BUT..."
[11:59] Orion Sinclair says, "Don't do so..."
[12:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "Pffft!"
[12:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "If I was a vampire you'd put my head on a pike."
[12:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You only changed your style one time in there...."
[12:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I really need you to push me, Orion...."
[12:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I keep getting this weird aura when I'm in bad situations, but I don't know what it is."
[12:01] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa exclaims, "So I need you to force me into a bad situation!"
[12:01] Orion Sinclair says, "Then, let's go some more.... As if I am going to kill you.."
[12:02] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Yeah. Don't hold back on me, just cause I'm pretty."
[12:02] Igleta giggles.

[12:02] Katrin Weiner says, "yea, pretty annoying."
[12:02] Katrin laughs
(Katrin Weiner)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[12:03] Laughs lightly, drawing his blade, this time, he would use the Cetus aura to give him that extra kick.

"Alright, here goes..."
(Orion Sinclair)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[12:03] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Hey punk. I'm going to beat you up, just watch."
[12:04] Igleta gulps as she looks at Orion and points her staff to him.
(Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[12:06] Orion Sinclair says, "That was a different strategy, to fade from here, there, and counter."
[12:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Mmmm. So this is how you fight vampires. Got it."
[12:07] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Is that how you beat three of them?"
[12:07] Orion Sinclair says, "They fight in packs, but alone, you can trick them... Though their ghouls are very strong...---No, I survived three, but I only fought Donovan."
[12:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<Still going to say you beat up three...>"
[12:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Donovan?"
[12:08] Orion Sinclair says, "A Sirenian ghoul."
[12:08] Myrrah is furiously scribbling down as much information as she possibly can, anything would help in her research. Of course she also took mental notes on what she should expect in a real fight. She was amazed at both of their prowess on the field, it only showed she had a far way to go...
(Myrrah Sinclair)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[12:08] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang. Even the fishie people can become vampires...."
[12:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "Does that mean everyone can become a vampire?"
[12:09] Orion Sinclair says, "Yes..."
[12:09] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Dang..."
[12:10] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Why do the ghouls even join them? I don't get it. They just want to kill people."
[12:10] Orion shakes his head.

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

[12:10] Orion Sinclair says, "From what I've learned..."
[12:10] Orion Sinclair says, "Their blood is addicting..."
[12:11] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Y-Yea... even Arthur said that."
[12:12] Katrin Weiner says, "It's because they want more power Igleta."
[12:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "Power isn't that important though...."
[12:12] Katrin Weiner says, "becoming a ghoul will increase your strength, but make you a monster like me."
[12:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, ". . ."
[12:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're not a monster, punk."
[12:12] Katrin Weiner exclaims, "I'm a super scary monster!"
[12:12] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're a super cute monster."
[12:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That's the only version I will accept."
[12:13] Orion Sinclair says, "Sometimes... In order to protect those you love... You risk becoming a demon..."
[12:13] Orion flashbacks to when he begged Azrael and the demons for power on the brink..

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

[12:13] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "No...."
[12:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "That's how you fall... My teacher told me so."
[12:14] Katrin Weiner says, "Sometimes when youlove, you kiss weird things."
[12:14] Orion Sinclair says, "Fight me, as you would a demon..."
[12:14] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa asks, "......Whaaaaa?"
[12:14] Orion Sinclair says, "My blade, near Katrin's throat...."
[12:15] Orion Sinclair says, "Her soul, ripped away by my hands..."
[12:15] Orion Sinclair says, "<Come on Igleta...>"
[12:15] Orion Sinclair says, "<Push...>"
[12:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, ". . . ."
[12:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You wouldn't ever do that...."
[12:15] Orion Sinclair says, "I'm a thrall... I'll do whatever it takes, to achieve power..."
[12:15] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, ". . .Fine. I'll try."
[12:17] Orion Sinclair exclaims, "There it is!"
[12:17] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "I...I really can't see you like that....."
[12:17] Orion Sinclair says, "Igleta...."
[12:18] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You're my idol, you know. Nothing like that can ever happen."
[12:18] Orion Sinclair says, "Look past love, look past bonds, seperate yourself from this realm and embrace that dormant potential..."
[12:18] Orion Sinclair exclaims, "Clear your mind!"
[12:18] Orion Sinclair exclaims, "Or you'll fall!"
[12:19] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, ". . ."
[12:19] Orion Sinclair says, "Have at you..."
[12:20] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "<I can't fall....>"
[12:52] An expression of concern rested upon her face while Orion spoke to her. The things she had to do clashed with how she wanted things to be. In order to push past her limitations she was being told the same things she was told years ago when she first began her training. Things like love, fear, and hatred had to be circumvented and avoided entirely. Only the path found within a clear mind could lead to proper growth within her range as a mage. As her crystal clusters are summoned and holy light embraces the field, Orion moved through it like a graceful dance and avoided the most powerful attacks in her arsenal time and time again.

Her form was wounded and battered with Orion's blows. Each formation of crystals, bindings of water and nature, and even crystal were all crushed under singular swings each time. Her face became one of aggression, confusion, and just pitiable. The lass had her face turned a bright red as it was getting the better of her. Orion hadn't moved this swiftly in any battle against her and she knew he couldn't be holding back anymore. The way he moved, his footwork, his sheer speed. All of it was beyond the normal she had seen from any combatant.

As she attempted one last binding upon him, he simply avoided each one. Each one he avoided while unleashing point blank attacks on her. "UGH!!!" She screamed out with pure aggravation. Another blow came and she went skidding across the arena rolling about as she did. Her eyes narrowed on Orion as he stood across the arena calling forth an enormous flood of water to both protect him and restore his spell. "I can't..... I just can't do it..." She began to lose her hope in the moment as she found herself completely outmatched by Orion's sheer experience. His talents just pushed her will into the ground. It was no different that watching Katrin fight some of the greatest warriors and witnessing their experience firsthand.



The voice of Noel rang within her ear. A great star off in the distance of the cosmos. It's great eye resting upon the child it had selected to watch over, to guide, and to aid. Yet, its decision was filled with regret and disappointment now. Igleta bit down on her bottom lip as the words hit her and she could see Orion healing away the mediocre wounds she had even placed on him. As far as she could recognize there was just nothing she could do to fight him back, nothing she could do to slow him down, nothing she could do to worry him. "....Sorry." The girl stated in response to the star, in a hushed tone.



The star spoke a final time and went into silence. The words hurt and were greatly painful. They didn't resonate with how she wanted to be, but these words just kept coming from everyone she could think of. However, it was then that her mind lingered to the promises given by her lover. All that she was, everything that made her who she was, was perfect in their eyes. A soft and warm passion moved through her body, almost in a tangible fashion as she took a deep inhale. Igleta pushed herself from the ground and held her staff within both of her hands.

Her mind went from the chaotic, rampant ideas that flew throughout it at all times. It became only a sight of Katrin, not even her sisters were present there. The world was offered by this lover, eternity together was promised by this lover, eternal happiness was promised. Slowly, her eyes opened and those crescent moon cheek marks glowed a brilliant golden color. Her body was embraced by the cosmic aura and the sensation from the stars could be felt about her, even through the building. Suddenly, Igleta would vanish moving at a high speed, the arena tearing behind her, until she finally appeared right next to Orion slashing him with the aura of cosmic energy itself.

As she appeared she would slightly move within the flood, staring upon him. The ground would rip apart as countless vines came out and motioned around Orion. Her glade mark would shine a brilliant silver color as small dots of energy began to flow off of it. With further investigation, however, these were small spcs of blood coalesced within nature's grasp. Suddenly, these same dots were everywhere withinthe flood and began to rapidly grow as they fed on the magic of Orion. They darted inwardly no longer abated by his magical power, they had adapted to it. The bloody spores would wrap around his form. Orion's speed was still something to be feared as he vanished from the vines grasp in an instant.

Despite this, though, he would move about and still find these bloody spores forming all along his body, draining the life essence directly out of his body. That legendary speed would be brought down to such a level that Igleta could physically observe every movement he made. Her steel eyes followed him intently until, finally, he was defeated by the lacking energy to support his own form. A victory was made, and yet, she did not cheer or show any signs of happiness. Even the sight of Katrin was no longer within her mind, only the emotions that she shared with her lived on. The cosmic aura died down shortly after this, and the child just continued to stare at Orion as she rubbedher glade mark on her right arm.

Noel spoke to her as she just listened to the star and continued to stand in place.

[12:58] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
[12:59] Leona Itheis Mariposa whispers something.
[13:02] Katrin Weiner whispers something.
[13:04] Their battle was one of many, such that pushed both himself and the Cosmic Paladin, he heard none of the words between her and her chosen star...No all he saw was the passage of which the moon shines, a spirit, the form of the Cetus blade style took form around him...

This gave Orion the edge at first but only for a time, he would find himself cornered by her vast array of skill, and despite his best efforts, utilizing his tactics to strike her blind spots. He would face such an end, being blasted down by her newfound power, this dormant potential, finally brought out.

Like a kitten who had just become a lion, Igleta's roar was a mighty one, something even a king would fear! Such power shook the room, but Orion smiled one second before he would meet his defeat, saying to Igleta as he fell from the sky... Seeing her new resolve, this realization she's gained, this sudden growth not in power but with the mind and spirit.

"Welcome, to the true Agarthan world," Orion said before falling to the ground, he'd pass out from fatigue and from the sudden shock of damage he'd take... He's been running about for so long, pushing himself and others, and now, this tired young moon was descending.

[13:05] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "T-Thank you, Orion."
[13:06] Igleta Eclipsa Mariposa says, "You better know though...."
[13:06] Orion is knocked out.
