- Proxy was still getting used to Cinderfall, but he still had not found a good blacksmith to teach him, his anxiety about the system could be noticed by his hurried footsteps.
- He walked around the city in search of merchants who could give him useful information, until at a glance he sees a great Drakanite with a sword that would perhaps be even larger than herself.
- It would seem to be an adventurer, a good person to get information, so Proxy goes in the direction of the Drakanite.
- The weather was pleasant, which might be a sign that fate was there to give him what he wanted.
- Proxy approaches and formally tilted his body slightly forward to greet the Drakanite.
- "Hello, sorry to bother you, but could you tell me where there is a good blacksmith around? I'm looking for one to learn the art of forging."
- Proxy's black hair was slightly lifted by the breeze that flowed, showing his black eyes that possessed much more than determination, the will to change the world.
- (Proxy)
- Hearing someone address her, the drakanite slowly opened one of her slitted eyes, staring down at the teen before her finally deciding to address him with clearly frustrated tone.
- "You are speaking to one of the smiths, I am Bevolt Draconis-Larencia-Nagano...me and my brother Raja are two of the best smiths the Cinderfall has available...." Bevolt said before opening her other eye, soon calming her posture.
- (Bevolt Nagano-Draconis)
- Upon hearing the answer from the Drakanite a smile appears in Proxy, but without showing teeth, his brain begins to accelerate again with excitement.
- "Oh, it looks like I was lucky then, allow me to introduce myself, you can call me Proxy, a boy with a great desire, like I said before I would like to learn the art of blacksmithing and since you are here, you could. .. "
- At that moment as he spoke Proxy tilts his body further forward while with his right hand on his chest. Proxy had learned good manners and various tricks to survive in the world, all in order to his goals.
- "... teach me, please?"
- Proxy did not know these Drakanites so well, but that's how the world works, new contacts and friendships help to climb to a higher level.
- (Proxy)
- The Drakanite questioned him about his motivation of why he wanted to learn the forge, nothing more fair, he could not welcome a stranger without knowing the least.
- Proxy opens his arms as he speaks.
- "The Future, it is for this reason that I want to learn blacksmithing, to make our technologies advance, so that society is helped by technology, the system would be free of corruption."
- Proxy's eyes sparkled during his short speech.
- This was Proxy's vision, to create a technological system able to observe everything and also to help communication, in this way he could put into practice the term that so much pound in his head: Hacking.
- Hacking is not something about break systems, it's something about hot to break minds.
- (Proxy)
- Bevolts eyebrow rose as she stared at Proxy with somewhat puzzled expression, trying ot understand the way he spoke, only to end up being compeletly puzzled by his response. After a moment she deciding to scratch her neck before finally speaking with somewhat annoyed tone.
- "I don't understand your response Proxy...I am going to be honest, unless you will speak normally I am afraid I won't be able to give you a clear response." the pureblood replied before looking towards Mammon, slowly rising her eyebrow.
- "Red haired giant? Thats my mother, why do you ask?" Bevolt inquired, curious.
- (Bevolt Nagano-Draconis)
- [07:44:51] Mammon approached the woman, slowly closing the distance between them. He stood far away enough so he could make a deal with them, yet be close enough so they can hear his words.
- "I have some information on her that might be important. REAL important. You haven't seen her lately, have you? I'll give you more details for some money. " Yeah. The Doctor wanted some money for this information that he could give them. It's a fair trade, of course. He wouldn't give it away for free, honestly.
- (Dr. Mammon)
- The Drakanite did not seem to have correctly understood the words of Proxy, but suddenly someone wanted to sell information apparently about Bevolt's mother, interrupting the conversation of Proxy and Bevolt.
- It irritated Proxy a little, he then ignored him and tried to rephrase his response to Bevolt.
- "Basically I love mechanics, the mechanical industry is my passion and I would like to take a step forward in this by learning to build, for this I need to learn blacksmithing."
- Proxy continued to ignore the man as he watched Bevolt.
- (Proxy)
- Bevolts eyebrow rose as she looked towards Mammon, glaring at him as he spoke with her eyebrow starting to twitching as she heard the demand from the doctor. Her teeth began to grind against one another just as she looked towards speaking Proxy for a moment before finally deciding to reply to him first.
- "If...you plan to help Magitech and me...then I might take you in Proxy...but first...I have to deal with this thing..." the drakanite said before approaching Mammon with her claws resting on her hips as she soon addressed him with angered tone.
- "Pay? For the information? You dare to demand monet for vital information knowing that people here are anxious, trying to profit at someones suffering...you better give a good price otherwise I will squeeze the information out of you." Bevolt boomed with her scales spreading across her entire body just as she became more enraged.
- (Bevolt Nagano-Draconis)
- "Your exasperation is irrelevant. Yes, pay for the information. I couldnt give a fuck about anyone here. I profit from information since I've decided that to be one of my jobs. Torture, murder won't work. Tryna' act as if you're good people when others need to survive aswell." The Doctor huffed, not caring what kind of methods Bevolt would utilize in a futile attempt to get information out of Mammon. He wasn't the type to really care about the agony dealt by others, since he kind of had to get used to it after being beaten around so often by myriad of others. Their mental states mattered not to this man, since all he wanted was money. That's all he was in this for, money. Even his job as a Doctor...
- "I'm asking for four million crowns. Nothing more, nothing less. Also, if you plan on giving it then backstabbing me...Ohoho. The deal is you must give the money first, let me get in a safe distance to walk away unharmed, and for me to give you the info. I won't run away from giving it either, since I care not what happens. "
- (Dr. Mammon)
- Hearing the words come from the odd mans mouth, the boy threw an obvious glare his way. If something had happened to his mother, he wasn't just gonna let someone extort him and his sister about it. Instead of that happening, Raja would move to the otherside of the man and draw out his weapon before bothering to speak.
- With Bevolt on the other side, he was ensuring the man didn't try and bail out of here because they didn't wish to be liberal with their words. "How about ah don't break your knees and throw you in a cellar for with holding information about our missing mother? If something happened to her and you turned out to be hiding that information for money, positive both me an Bevolt wont be happy to get the bad news on top of being conned out of money!"
- Even though Mammon said he didn't care for threats or even death, Raja didn't either when it came to his friends and family. They were always the quickest way for someone to get on his bad side, especially if they knew something important after they have been missing for months. People like this man in front of him made him sick.
- (Raja Nagano-Draconis)
- Can't say he didn't give the man plenty of warning before hand of what was about to happen. The boy had said he didn't care to be extorted for information about his mother and the pompous attitude was only making his temper flare up.
- Arching his mace back, the boy would swing his weapon at Mammon's leg from behind in order to injury and vent a little. By no means was he intending to kill the man, heck he wasn't really doing anything for a good reason, Raja was just angry at this guy for presenting this stick as he was and trying to rob them of four million crowns.
- While he swung his weapon, he'd hear some fo the mans words about his mama that he said he was going to sell to them. This...this caused a sinking pit to form in the boys stomach again, much like when he learned of his own fathers death all those years ago. The feeling Raja had never wished to feel again had come back and it didn't feel any better than last time. In fact, he felt much worse because he had been trying to grow stronger to keep stuff like this from happening.
- (Raja Nagano-Draconis)
- The moment Mammon spoke words "She's dead" her eyes widened with her own arms dropping limply to her sides just as the words began to echo in her head, forcing her mouth to open as a quiet gasp escaped her lips. It appeared as if nothing was going to really happen,
- Seconds later a powerful earthquake shook the ground beneth the pureblood as her eyes began to glow, with her claws tigthening and bulking as her entire bod began to swell and cover in expanding cales. With sound of cracking and snapping bones, the drakanite began to rise higher, growling in inhuman, clearly bestial manner as she slowly transformed into a clearly enraged dragon.
- with her posture lowering tiself the front claws slammed against the ground just as the entire body began to burst out of the armor until Mammon ended standing few inches away from massive, growling dragon, with one thing being clear, Bevolt wasn't exactly controling herself just as the tail slammed against the well, partly collapsing its entire structure.
- (Bevolt Nagano-Draconis)
- After spewing out that their beloved Sitrianna was dead, a mace lifted up from Raja. It connected towards the leg of Mammon, giving him a major injury. Such a gargantuan one that it made him limp more than walk, and he was on his rump from the blow delivered by Raja. This was quite excruciating pain. No sound emitted from the mouth of the man. No cries of agony from him, just a blank expression as if it were ignored completely. The damage was done, however.
- "Guess you don't want information, huh? I mean now--" Before he could finish his statement, the ground beneath him had begun to shake. Violently and incessantly until her transformation was done. A rather large dragon, with her claws a few inches away from himself. Guess she really was a Drakanite, a pureblood aswell.
- "Nice."
- (Dr. Mammon)
- Proxy watches the whole situation, things seem to warm up enough, apparently the mother of the two Nagano brothers is dead, and they did not get the news in the best way.
- The doctor who tried to get money on top of it now seemed to be fucked, Bevolt turned into a full dragon, his tail passed very close to Proxy, he then decides to move away from a safe distance.
- The city that is still crowded with refugees shudders, the eyes of all the citizens are directed to the enormous dragon that appeared in the middle of the city.
- Proxy can not contain his smile, even though he has never seen a Pureblood personally he had heard of them before, his smile was due to that system, the system he wanted to end up, simple phrases that turn into a big mess like that, Proxy just stood there, watching and learning from all that, while holding a sadistic smile.
- Some people in the crowd were running while others kept their curiosity.
- (Proxy)
- The mace struck home and felt like it had actually broken the mans knee from behind. As soon as he'd arc his mace back for another blow against the mans body, the ground would shake as Bevolt seemed to transform into a literal pissed off dragon. That sight shook him a little because it was unexpected, but honestly, Raja probably would have become one himself if he could right now.
- Raja was pissed, even more so now that this idiot of a man was actually trying to sell them information about their mother being dead and who possibly did it. What kind of stupid, idiot walks into a town and tells two obviously displeased people that after telling them it'll cost money?
- Whatever was wrong with this person, it wasn't going to matter for long. Knowing Bevolt was probably ready to strike at Mammon, the drakanite would jump a few feet back seeing how Mammonga was unable to even move or move fast enough to get out of his sisters path. This could go poorly though if Bevolt couldn't control herself, they were in the center of town afterall!
- Glancing around he'd shout and glare at everyone. "Run off you bunch of idjits! When you see a dragon, you don't sit around and watch, you get the heck outta there unless you are with a bunch of strong magi!" The sinking feeling was still heavy in his stomach from learning of his mothers possible death...Now wasn't the time to focus on it, right now he wanted this horrible person who was trying to profit from their mothers death to pay.
- (Raja Nagano-Draconis)
- "Could've told you right now too, whatever. Go for it, not much else I can do against two people who don't care about their parent. If you really wanna know that badly and would go this far for this, I could tell you, but uh...You know, you're trying to kill me right now so I can't really say much. If you get the Dragon to stop rampaging and you to stop hurting me, boy, I'll just tell you. " A sigh escaped Mammon's mouth. He could really utilize the crowns right now, but his life was more important. All he wanted was some crowns to feed himself which is why he was doing this, yet no one really cared. He was irrelevant, exactly like how their Mother was to him. Being an information broker was a tough life around here, perhaps if they weren't so insane he could actually get something out of this instead of telling it for free.
- Mammon had attempted to stand up, falling back onto his rump rather quickly. No amounts of words could get him out of this, nothing was able to save his life. This was a near-death experience that Mammon has faced, one that was far beyond his expectations. This was one of the reasons why he wanted to conduct more studies on Drakanites than those in the past. The Doctor wanted to know if this form was a pureblood's absolute limit when becoming a Dragon. There could be more yet no one would know. The Doc knew that the position he was in was rather...Terrible.
- "Well? If you stop her and end up not killing me, free info. Kind of changed my mind a bit after seeing all this. Kind of a brutal death. " Transfixed with a look of fright in his eyes.
- (Dr. Mammon)
- Growling and snarling Bevolt keptglaring at Mammon, with sight clearly indicating rage. Unless somehow stopped there was a high chance of her simply going after tearing Mammon apart, clearly not appearing to be controlling her fullshift too well.
- (Bevolt Nagano-Draconis)
- If people had run off from the scene like smart people, they'd avoid possibly getting caught up in anything that came from Bevolts angered transformation. The funny thing is, now Mammon was practically begging for his life when he said earlier he didn't care for threats or dying. It's amazing how facing imminent death can change a persons thoughts.
- Standing beside Bevolt, Raja would run a hand along her scales as if her were petting them before giving them a pat. "Shame ah'm unable to do the same thing as Bevolt...but know her an ah both have the same values when it comes to our family, especially our mother you scum!"
- Glaring at Mammon, the man could very obviously tell Raja wasn't joking about about possibly letting Bevolt do as she pleased with him, if not doing so himself. "Start speaking or simply accept death. If you couldn't tell, we ain't lettin no one hurt our ma. If she is dead...then you best have some loose lips as to WHO did it!"
- Clenching his jaw, Raja was ready to simply let Bevolt do as she pleased, heck she still might even if he trys to calm her down, but right now at least she wasn't doing anything but glaring for whatever reason.
- (Raja Nagano-Draconis)
- [10:15:02] Liara had been watching this all along, and while she didn't exactly approve of Mammon concealing information from the son and daughter pair. "You will give them the information you want, otherwise you will be jailed until you state the truth and nothing but the truth." She wanted to know just as much as them, she was against him being let go if he witheld information on Sitrianna's passing, as he claimed to be a fact.
- He was being offerred a chance at freedom, to speak on the matter, or hold his piece until a lack of freedom for obstruction until such is removed. Her stance was extremely firm on it at that.
- Mammon could cooperate with the investigation, and give the information he had and walk free, or he could continue to bemoan the matter by dragging things out. Liara's eyes were turned to Bevolt, as she'd lightly jolt the fullshifted Drakanite on her thigh with a palm slapping her with electricity. "Settle down please, and go find somewhere to get dressed privately." Purebloods fullshifting meant nudism, and Liara wasn't fond of people getting to see another woman's goods, or people seeing a mans goods, after all. They were 'privates' for a reason.
- (Liara Myr)
- "Jail doesn't scare me, death doesn't either. I don't really give a fuck what happens to me, but I want to see what you were to do. I really don't care what occurs after I state this, but whatever. Those of Nostvale were the ones who have done this to her. I observed with my own two eyes. " He'd state, trying to stand up yet again. A sigh escaped his lips. There wasn't anything else happening right now, and he knew what had happened to Sitrianna being there firsthand. Those were the ones who had commited the murder of the woman, yeah. That was their affilaiton, wasn't it? He couldn't tell, really, but he knew it wasn't those of Loranthis nor New Alteros.
- There wasn't anything else for Mammon to do but await the outcome of his own life, be it death or getting to stay alive. This was once in a lifetime free information given by yours truly, the information broker.
- (Dr. Mammon)
- What could be more interesting than events that are outside your daily cogitation?
- Maybe someday you'll look for a blacksmith master and end up getting a Fullshifter and a huge mess in town, it's part of life.
- Proxy watches all that from a safe distance but his excitement does not leave him quiet.
- He plays with the manipulation of fire and water, creating a kind of fire panel in front of him and 'painting' his sight with water using the other hand, without the fire and the water leaning against it. This was her special way of remembering moments, the fire and water would dissipate, but her memory of that abstract panel of beauty would continue.
- 'What will happen?' He thought.
- (Proxy)
- Hissing and snarling the fullshifted drakanite kept glaring at the doctor with her maw opening preparingto snap him in half only to end up inerrupted by shock spreading across her entire body, momentaly returning the woman to her senses and giving her a chance to look toward Liara, slowly starting to realize what just did happen.
- Moments later she heard Mammon with her eyes narrowing and her entire body turning around, wobbling the drakantie made her way towards the workshop before deciding to force herself inside, dissapearing slowly with last loud growl.
- (Bevolt Nagano-Draconis)
- Proxy was entertained with all that, but someone important in the city had arrived and made Bevolt go back to normal, the show was over and Bevolt with Raja were leaving the scene.
- Proxy followed them, since they were the blacksmiths he needed. Arriving at the place where they had gone, Proxy saw several swords by the walls, it was incredible, he then saw the brothers in the corner and approached.
- "Are you all right?"
- (Proxy)
- "Sounds good!" The teen grinned, as he let the redhead take him by the hand. "We could do explo- meeting your buddies sounds goods too!" Julien just couldn't turn her down. He'd gone without seeing the girl for so long, that he was eager to get tangled into whatever silly situation that she would no doubt put him in.
- The boy just realized how much he missed Pyra. Though he had certainly shaken off a lot of his older worries and insecurities on his own, he had only done so at her unintentional behest. And he would gladly pay that back however he could, though the boy knew that he would probably still reap a good deal of enjoyment out of whatever was set for him.
- If the girl's friends were anything like her, then he had an interesting day set for him, at the very least. Maybe he'd invite Gil along next time, once he'd found the boy again. Either way, he was fairly enthused to just be readying himself for a normal day of fun. It was much appreciated, especially after being overly concerned about the curse placed on his person. It was surprisingly mild in its effects, after all.
- (Julien J. Hertland)
- Hugging his sister after she put her clothing back on, because turning into a big ass dragon does that, Raja tried to comfort her a little. Their positions honestly should be reversed, but out of the two of them, Raja was the 'more' stable of the two. He had his moments of anger and what not, but he was actively talking with friends and learning new trades.
- Now hitting something of a growth spurt, the boy wasn't 'as' short compared to Bevolt now, so it'd be slightly less awkward for him to do this with her now. "You sure yer' okay? Ah'm still plenty pissed at that guy...but also even more so with Nostvale now! Now they didn't just kill one of our parents, but both!" Burrying his face in her shoulder, the boy rubbed his eyes against her clothes to keep them from looking moist or anything.
- "Promise ah'm gonna get rid of that city and it stupid rulers!" Hearing a voice come in after them, The boy would sound rather annoyed at the person who was asking them for lessons earlier.
- "...is that really a good question to ask us right now?"
- (Raja Nagano-Draconis)
- Pyra just kinda ran into the smithy at what was possibly the worst time, dragging Julien along. She grinned, starting at Raja, though.. She was quick to notice the negativity and all. "Hey, uhm.. Raja? Bevvy? Did something happen?" She looked up at Julien, before looking back towards the Drakanites.
- "U-Uhmm.. If it's, uh.. A-A bad time, t-then we can come back later, Raja..!" She clearly had no idea what was going on, but at the least she recognized how Raja looked. He seemed a bit like how he was when he lost his papa, so showing an almost amazing amount of tact the girl actually didn't just barge in all happy and cheery.
- After all, she didn't want another bouquet of flowers burned up or anything. That wouldn't be any good.
- (Pyra Shateiel)
- Julien's smile faded. So this was Raja? He wasn't very familiar with the Drakanite, but they had interacted before. Heck, they played out in the seaside shore, when Mika took the redhead on a surprise swimming session. Then, rather appropriately, the child that stood before him was rather excitable and happy. The boy's current expression was definitely not a good sign, and those angered, reddened eyes just spelled out trouble.
- Julien was eerily familiar with the expression, having once worn it many, many years in the past. On the day that Dumuzid crashed into the quarantine camps, ripping and tearing through body after body, Julien had lost the only family that he had known up to that point. And the once bitter boy bore that very same expression, it was grief, but more over it was mourning tinged with unabashed, incorruptible hatred.
- here wasn't much that an outside like him could do beyond gawk, he knew that, so of course he'd keep his gaze focused on Pyra. It wasn't like he was in the know at the moment. And he didn't want to torture the obviously angry boy with even more nonsense to deal with. So Julien instead put his free hand on Pyra's shoulders, and nodded calmly.
- "Hey, how bout we go for now?" He spoke with the usual amount of reservation required, keeping his tone as polite and respectful as possible. "It looks like something really personal." Julien said almost apologetically. He didn't want to disappoint Pyra, but his gut feeling screamed for him to get out of the way, lest he make matters worse.
- (Julien J. Hertland)
- The Myr would come into the house, approaching the Naganos gently coming to pap the shoulder of the taller woman, five three, reaching up to the younger Amazons, to her late mother, shoulder nodding to her. "Hey. You two doing alright?" The Myr was kindly asking about it. Making sure to let it be known, the Myr was there for them both.
- Blue eyes resting upon Raja and then nodding to him as well. "It's no secret that I was an Orphan since age six all the way until I was a teen. It's harder losing some one when you're older than it is at that age. Because there's not as much time to understand how to grieve and how to move on. I'll recompense those whos property you damaged Bevolt, I understand where you and your brother both are coming from fully."
- (Liara Myr)
- Other people appeared on the premises, apparently friends of the siblings, and they ended up leaving after realizing that the situation for the Nagano was not very good.
- Liara then appears and the situation seems to calm down a bit, but the siblings really needed some time together.
- "Sorry if I bothered you, I'll leave you alone for now."
- Proxy still interested in that place resolves to explore a little, apparently it was a smithy, something he could use for learning.
- (Proxy)
