  1. [20:54] As the fight began, Abbigail immediately forced a powerful torrent of water right into the Dryad's face. She followed that up with a flurry of bubbles, water bombs, and chilling icicles. As she sent a typhoon at the Dryad, the ground began to coat itself in water. Though one thing Abbigail didn't understand, was how much this dryad had outclassed her, between his mandrakes, his understanding of Chaos, his fire monkey, and the confusing he was able to force upon her, she found herself extremely disoriented throughout the majority of the fight. Still though, she continued to launch spell after spell at the Dryad, she felt as if she was at least doing some damage. In the end, it was simply her desire to show this bastard that she was not worthless.
  2.  
  3. Something had caught her attention in the second portion of the fight, as if she wanted to try new tactics. She had noticed every time she got near the dryad, she was forced back and assaulted by not two, but three things at once. Her logic was simple, take out the fire monkey that Reveler hid behind, and then focus on him.
  4.  
  5. As she shifted her weight, pouring all of her magic into the fire daemon, she could see various icicles appear to tear right through the daemon, no matter how many of her spells she landed on it, it just kept on coming.. was this thing fucking invincible?
  6.  
  7. It seemed like a long time had passed for Abby, she felt her body growing tired, and the various superficial wounds had began to pain her. Slowly, her legs started to give out, she released a yell of anger and then shouted towards the Dryad.
  8.  
  9. "I'm not of no value! I am Oscuri, I am Abbigail fucking Anilis!"
  10.  
  11. It was then that Blaze connected with her, knocking her to the floor and dispelling all of the frost around with its rather impressive flames.
  12. (Abbigail Anilis)
  13. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  14.  
  15. [20:56] Lusion wordlessly glances in Ohtli's direction, having a moments hesitance to involve himself in what's going on behind him.
  16. (Lusion)
  17. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  18.  
  19. [20:58] Reunan shudders slightly, his body twitching.. He didn't want to.. He didn't want to.. He shouldn't...
  20.  
  21. His body broke from it's immobile stance. He had to.
  22.  
  23. "Sir, perhaps it would.. be better to leave her with something more lasting. A hand, a foot, something that she will remember even when she naturally ages beyond that which simple prosthetics and potions can heal? A lasting impression, yes?" His body absolutely bristled with energy, outwards it flowed towards all, the feeling of a friend standing beside oneself, prepared to take a bullet for you in a firefight.
  24. (Reunan Volos)
  25. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  26.  
  27. [20:58] He was caught!
  28.  
  29. The little looks into the eyes of the youth once more. "You do care..!" He'd burst into fae tears... if they even do that. Before over dramatically wiping them away.
  30.  
  31. "T-Things will get better, Leland boy. Once I stop being lazy I will grow... Just wait, and then we will take on the lands together. Yes, yes. Lord of Winged beings, with the equally as good fae!"
  32.  
  33. A few coughs here and there from poor Pluto, he was handling this better though. The fairy was almost always giving. That is his nature. To give.
  34. (Pluto)
  35. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  36.  
  37. [20:58] Ohtli says, "...There is no call to be cruel to someone already defeated."
  38. [20:59] Ashley says, "He'll do whatever he wants to do..."
  39. [20:59] Ashley says, "It's easier just to accept that..."
  40. [20:59] Ohtli says, "That doesn't make it right."
  41. [20:59] Ashley sighs miserably.
  42. (Ashley)
  43. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  44.  
  45. [20:59] Dan Karadin says, "Silence.. let Eiphraem decide."
  46. [21:00] Dan Karadin says, "I'll go Lucilius on the next person who speaks of it."
  47. [21:00] Reunan Volos says, "of it."
  48. [21:00] Ohtli says, "...I apologize, Dan, but I think those threats are also unnecessary. "
  49. [21:00] Dan Karadin says, "...It's a joke."
  50. [21:00] Dan Karadin says, "Sort of."
  51. [21:00] Leland Lelhua says, "Yeah. We'll take from the...lazy, and give to the hard working. We can give everyone jobs and put an end to poverty."
  52. [21:00] Ohtli says, "'Sort of'."
  53. [21:01] Dan Karadin says, "More making fun of someone.."
  54. [21:01] Lusion says, "..Mh."
  55. [21:01] Leland Lelhua exclaims, "..and yes I care!"
  56. [21:01] Dan Karadin says, "Who hates noise."
  57. [21:01] Leland Lelhua says, "You're my friend."
  58. [21:02] Leland Lelhua whispers something.
  59. [21:02] Ashley sniffles, deflating. She already knew Leland was talking about her. Eventually she just thwunks to the floor and sits there. Stewing in her own pity party.
  60. (Ashley)
  61. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  62.  
  63. [21:02] Pluto whispers something.
  64. [21:02] Pluto whispers something.
  65. [21:03] Leland drops coins on Ashley's head.
  66. (Leland Lelhua)
  67. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  68.  
  69. [21:03] Leland Lelhua whispers something.
  70. [21:03] Ashley sighs as the coins spill all over her head... She doesn't even collect them they just kind of.. Reside there now.
  71. (Ashley)
  72. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  73.  
  74. [21:03] Pluto says, "Booyah! Money."
  75. [21:04] Leland Lelhua says, "Money is how we'll change the world........."
  76. [21:17] Lusion whispers something.
  77. [21:19] Ohtli whispers something.
  78. [21:19] Lusion whispers something.
  79. [21:19] Ohtli whispers something.
  80. [21:19] Ohtli whispers something.
  81. [21:19] Lusion whispers something.
  82. [21:20] Ohtli whispers something.
  83. [21:21] Lusion whispers something.
  84. [21:26] Movement stalls. People watch. People bargain. No one interrupts. No one stops him.
  85.  
  86. The vines worm their way into the Oscuri's flesh, getting into her very blood. From within the girl's biological processes, her age bleeds down the vines in her crimson, finding its way instead to the body of the Dryad.
  87.  
  88. In it's wake it leaves wrinkles, greying hair, and the stealing of enthusiasm, ideals of youth. From his fingers, he drinks it in like honeyed wine, hazel eyes half lidded at the one who was afflicted.
  89.  
  90. "Is not of good listener. Are of two types of people in world. People who are of holding value, and people who are of not. You are not.
  91.  
  92. May be believing that is of holding value. May be of held by those saying such. But will turn on and abandon easy. Ones that are of held close will spurn your touch. Ones that are of looked up to will ignore you, and will ignore wrongs done to you. Is of way of world. Is cruel thing before all is turningto dust."
  93.  
  94. The trail of blood is completed, and vines retract from her skin, leaving behind withered features. His vine tongue moves, licking the blood that trails down his arm. He drinks it, and his features grow ever younger, more dashing, more handsome. A corruptive power hung in the air, malefic and hateful.
  95.  
  96. "Are not of something desirable. Only way of becoming that is to be of taking worth. But is not of doing that.
  97.  
  98. Are of wrong Abbigail. Are of holding no value at all, besides of being bloodbag." He drops her body to the floor.
  99. (Reveler)
  100. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  101.  
  102. [21:27]
  103. It was then that she was lifted by the hair, and a hand placed on her chin. As the wrinkles set into her skin, her hair began to turn grey, it was a chilling feeling, as if her very youth was being drained from her. She let out a yell of pain, though it could have been from sheer terror of the experience. For a moment, her vision dimmed, everything went grey and fuzzy.
  104.  
  105. Slowly, she would begin to look as if she were an elderly woman. Those around could clearly see the wrinkles that formed not only on her face, but on her hands and legs as well. Veins began to grow more prominent and her hands began to shake.
  106.  
  107. "W... wh.. what did you.. do to me.." she said, stumbling over her own words as they came out extremely raspy, as if she hadn't spoken in many years.
  108.  
  109. As the Oscuri looked down, and saw her own hands, she felt something that she hadn't truly felt before. Regret. She thought about her actions, and how harshly she overreacted, and as a tear began to form in her eye, the expression of pain and anger faded as her gaze was cast to the ground.
  110.  
  111. "I'm.." she paused, not having really ever said this before, she didn't even know if she could.. but she was going to try.
  112.  
  113. "I'm.... sorry.. I should not have threatened, nor attacked you... I deserved this." It was a strange few words that came from the oscuri who would normally punch someone before talking to them, her belief in her strength had been broken by the dryad. Over time though, she would recover some of her confidence, but for now, things would be a little different for the once young Oscuri.
  114.  
  115. The intensity of her Rieka lines vanished instantly, a nd they returned to their dull green.
  116. (Abbigail Anilis)
  117. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  118.  
  119. [21:27] Ohtli casts and apologetic look towards Lusion beside her, then steps forward and speak aloud.
  120. (Ohtli)
  121. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  122.  
  123. [21:27] Ohtli says, "Conall. That's enough."
  124. [21:27] Lusion gave a somewhat understanding nod, as if he forseen this coming.
  125. (Lusion)
  126. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  127.  
  128. [21:31] Reunan reunan couldn't do anything but bargain. It was against the law to intervene, it was against his better judgement to be so forgiving of the girl who had caused him so much trouble. His fists clench as she is visibly aged yet still so small. Like an eldery woman who never developed. His teeth clench as he just.. steps away from the painful situation, pulsing heavily with a flow of mana that threatens to drain himself dry to do something, anything. But it was beyond his power to aid.. and this was her own doing.
  129. (Reunan Volos)
