Reno defending Theria's and Seneca's Honor of Freedom

Next Chapter. Defending Theria’s Honor. Losing Fights over and over again.

(Past Here)

The Demon folded one leg over her lap and let off a sigh. She thought it was a bad idea. To have someone like Kircheis about. to let him go when he thought that Demons could be driven to extinction. "Should we believe you think Demons can be saved, after you wanted my kind extinct? After you and your former lover lied about being allies to Sarasha only to attack her allies keeping her city safe when you thought it gave you the opportunity to leave?

No. I don't believe you. Seneca shouldn't either. But maybe he has never been spited by your cowardice as I have." She didn't trust Kircheis. He was one of those who hid behind his 'God' to justify his xenophobia. At least Metztli was honest in not liking humans. She'd stand up, moving to stand beside Seneca and eye down on Kircheis.

"You shouldn't trust a word this coward says. The moment he leaves is the moment he will come to spite you. He'll probably inform others that you're keeping a... pet demon. And have them attack you and I. Because he's too afraid to fight himself."
(Metztli)


[22:08] Fleur Sanctum says, "*looks at the Demon.8"
[22:08] Fleur looks at the Demon.
(Fleur Sanctum)


[22:08] Sienne rests her hand on the pommel of her blade. "Ah, that one..." She cants her head.
(Sienne)


[22:08] Faust checks his watch again.
(Faust Monteil)


[22:08] Robin lux Queen says, ". . . ."
[22:09] Robin lux Queen asks, ">Pet Demon...?"
[22:09] Sajid says, "."
[22:09] Faust Monteil asks, "Did someone say pet demon?"
[22:09] Faust Monteil asks, "How much?"
[22:09] Sajid would simply move on to the side. One hand on his hot cup of joe that was surrounded by a sand, clay mug. The other? On his gun as he flipped it forward then backwards.

And as he sips, he spits it out.

"PET... DEMON?"

The awe on his face. "Wowzers."
(Sajid)


[22:09] "Demons are dangerous pets, Seneca." She tut-tuts. "Not something to be kept alive. Hm, hm.~"
(Sienne)


[22:09] Reno asks, "Pet demons?"
[22:09] Sajid says, "Someone made a big fuckywucky."
[22:11] Unforgiving.

The Radiant has long become an epitome of brutality when it comes to dealing with the Dark, and much like one could expect him to, he approaches the scene in a rather looming manner- his gaze already pointed towards Metzli as he approaches closer. Yet, where others expect to talk around..

He did not come here to talk.
He never has any words with their kind.

"You're right."

"I'm absolutely going to attack."

A single hand reaches out, if only to grasp upon the horn of a Demon up ahead- it's practically a forceful yank, to quite literally drag her off the seat and force her down on the ground. The azure flames flare up around his frame in such attempt..

How quaint of him to be doing this.

"We're going to have a long talk about this, Seneca."

"For now, I got a demon to capture."
(Nerin lux Altin)


[22:13] Reno exclaims, "!!!"
[22:13] The Radiant would draw his blade, he'd initially came here on investigation, but mid motion he'd give a few finger salute over towards Aki before re-organizing his focus in onto the scene unfolding.

This wasn't Osrona, he didn't hold power here in the slightest, nor did he claim such a thing.. but to see a suspended member of the Order in front of a demon...?

He'd need answers, or people would be getting hurt.

"Disappointment ain't begin to cover what I'm feelin' right now Seneca. When ya take a vow, it's your word an' a man without his word is nothin' more than a bipedal hound."

He'd ignite in a pillar of light as his eyes started to glow and sear. He was adamant on stomping out the influence of the demonic, and anyone getting in the way of that would be dealt with quite swiftly.
(Robin lux Queen)


[22:13] Nerin is already attempting to drag Metztli off the seat by a horn; to capture, obviously.
(Nerin lux Altin)


[22:14] Faust Monteil asks, "What kind of bakwoods accént eez zat?"
[22:15] "Right.

Any property damage done in Theria will be covered by the knights and this disorder, yes? Yes."

Another sip, and then he seems to walk off without a care in the world. Dun would be more proud of him than anything else. Causing chaos, for the act of chaos.
(Sajid)


[22:16] Just as Kircheis was about to leave, he would see them. He was shocked, he didn't know who got the knights to deal with the demons but, somebody did.

His eyes would befall onto Seneca, who was angry already. The knights made their move before he could event alert them to her presence.

"Seneca... just turn her in."

He didn't want him to get in trouble. He was a friend, and an ally. The fact the knights were going to get him in trouble unsettled him a bit.

He wanted the demon gone, but not at the cost of his friendship.
(Kircheis von Astrea)


[22:18] Fleur continues to watch behind Sienne.
(Fleur Sanctum)


[22:18] Looking at all that was happening. Reno did not like where this was going. He did not like it one bit. "You guys came all this way, to hurt Seneca?" He asked... And just like that, out of impulse. He sprinted forward, activating his aura of time, trying to stand before Seneca if Neru or anyone were to strike at the man.

"Why do you people need to hurt him?! He's saved lives before! This isn't right!" He turned with a glare towards each of them. Even though, they were OUT of his league by a long shot. He assumed the stance of the Iron Fist, a sloppy, not even complete version of the Chronos Aura.

"I don't like seeing anyone or anything be slain. Why can't you let him be?" Reno was beyond reason at the moment. There was no way he'd let this group of people ambush the man who inspired him to embrace his humanity. Not here, not in his home town of Theria.
(Reno)


[22:19] Fleur Sanctum asks, "p?"
[22:20] Sienne whispers something.
[22:20] Fleur Sanctum whispers something.
[22:20] Fleur nods.
(Fleur Sanctum)


[22:25] Fleur clings to Sienne's waist
(Fleur Sanctum)


[22:26] Sienne idly pats the top of Fleur's head as she gazes ahead.
(Sienne)


[22:27] Calmly pressed a button on his remote, there was a soft hiss and the collar about the demon's neck fell off. It was odd seeing the two Radiants in Theria. He supposed the lack of pond fish had finally gotten them moving. Perhaps, that's why they'd marched into Theira.

"Well, that's one attempt at a better world foiled. Though, I'm surprised you're both here." He cast a glance towards the two of them, those violet hues dilating softly as they took each in.

Though he ignored Sienne's tutting. That reminded him to much of someone else and he wasn't going to deal with that. He brought a hand up to rub the burns on his chest. Well, it was a good thing he'd had time to see a doctor. Well probably not.

His nysehkian club had already been drawn and he looked between the two. "

(I wrote this so I'm getting my fucking AP.)
(Seneca)


[22:28] Faust Monteil says, "Selling pancakes."
[22:28] Sienne says, "Minerva said Kircheis was relaxing here earlier."
[22:28] Fleur Sanctum asks, "How much?"
[22:28] Faust Monteil asks, "How much do you got?"
[22:31] Fleur Sanctum says, "Also Faust I have..."
[22:31] Fleur Sanctum asks, "About one thousand coins?"
[22:31] Faust Monteil says, "Huh? Just take the pancakes."
[22:31] Fleur uwu's Sienne best uber.
(Fleur Sanctum)


[22:32] Best uber? If only you knew general consensus.
(Sienne)


[22:34] "...Another betrayal."

The man's gaze flickered towards the ice for a moment. Gazing into a blurry reflection of the world in and of itself. It really wasn't... A pretty picture.

He was no fool, he understood how the world would work. Would he harm Kircheis for wishing to leave? No, such was not his way of things. For trying to take what was his? Yes.

Really, he might have been more impassioned but as it was? He was just seeing another spark of hatred. Demons or angels it seemed in the end it was only fear or hatred which could motivate people.

"Farewell Kircheis."
(Seneca)


[22:36] Fleur blinks.
(Fleur Sanctum)


[22:36] Seneca says, "Come along Metztli."
[22:36] Sienne cups her chin. "Hmm. Off to the markets."
(Sienne)


[22:37] Sienne says, "Unless this young man has something to say to me."
[22:37] Lumi Fenrir says, "...Mh. I feel like i've woken up into a very bad dream."
[22:37] Sienne says, "You have."
[22:37] Celine says, "It'll be worse if you don't.. Get off.. Me."
[22:37] Lumi Fenrir says, "..."
[22:37] Aki sips her tea.. with one leg over the other.. leaning back into the bench.
(Aki Kurokaiyo)


[22:37] Lumi Fenrir says, "Mh...In my favorite seat no less.."
[22:37] Celine says, ". . Find your own barrel.."
[22:38] Lumi Fenrir says, "Hm. Shame."
[22:39] Still standing by Seneca with his guard up, ready to protect and fight. He wondered what was going on behind him. But the kid had his eyes fixed on the people before him... "Isn't this wrong? Coming into our home, being so rude? Taking people out of our land, and because they look different?" He referred to the demons.

"If we can't co-exist, then show me. Right here, right now. Fight me, a human... I want to see how serious you are with taking her away and killing off everything that isn't one of us... " He glared, because he thought of Abaddon. And how he'd feel if one of the good demons were killed for simply being alive... Naïve but determined.
(Reno)


[22:39] Faust Monteil says, "Oh."
[22:39] Faust Monteil says, "I'll scrap if you like."
[22:39] Fleur Sanctum says, "I'll fight you."
[22:39] Faust Monteil says, "A friendly bout."
[22:39] Fleur Sanctum says, "No FAUST"
[22:39] Sienne says, "Me too."
[22:39] Fleur Sanctum exclaims, "Me!"
[22:39] Sienne says, "Hoho."
[22:39] Fleur Sanctum exclaims, "You and Me!"
[22:39] Lumi Fenrir says, "Theria is open to all. Thus the clown city, we have no real laws."
[22:39] Sienne says, "All of us."
[22:39] Faust Monteil says, "No, I'm more fabulous."
[22:39] Reno exclaims, "Fine!"
[22:39] Fleur Sanctum says, "I want to show Seinne what I can do."
[22:39] Sienne says, "No."
[22:40] Sienne says, "I'm cuter."
[22:40] Fleur Sanctum says, "So let's go."
[22:40] Celine says, ". . ."
[22:40] Sienne says, "Come."
[22:41] Reno says, "The conditions are yours."
[22:41] Sienne says, "Aki... I smell you."
[22:41] Sienne says, "It has been a while."
[22:41] Sienne says, "Hello."
[22:43] Faust Monteil says, "'allo 'allo, mon friénds. Wondairful dai, eez eet not? Ai am een love wiv yur fabulous clutheng!\"
[22:46] Reno stared at Sanctum. He was focused on the mortal and so he assumed his fighting stance almost immediately. "I don't see how you are so joyful... Things were dire just moments ago... So if you're their representee, then I will represent the common man. Those without magic."

Even though, Seneca had left with Metz... He was willing to fight, even if it was all of the Order, or whoever these guys were. He placed his hands before himself as a boxer would, but with the added step of applying magic to his fist and adapting to the form of the Chronos Aura.

"It's not perfect, but it will be." Reno's posture, was for defense as he cherished all life. Even demons. They were on his soil, and to hear that they would be better off dead, was somewhat of an insult to the freedom of Theria…

He observed his opponent. Wondering what tricks she had up her sleeves. "I'll show you, that we human's can take care of ourselves!" Speaking from the heart. He was ready.
(Reno)


[22:46] Having her armor personally made by Faust adorned she felt a strong sense of conviction. Sienne and Faust nearby, she would not let them down. Her Holy Magic flourished vibrantly and an illuminated light graced her form.

As she readied her blade and got into a stance Anikos help her practice. She eyed her opponent Reno with a relaxed expression. Furthering her connection to her star Biblos, Fleur had a great experience in controlling her emotions.

"Let us begin, for someone who spoke of being rude.. taking people out of land. All sorts of negative slanderous claims. I will not allow such things go without answers. I will show you.. I'll show you my light that which I will use to protect those around me."

Taking a deep breath and becoming completely weightless feeling the very essence of light envelop her form. She spoke with a new tone of seriousness.

"Let Kraus will be done."
(Fleur Sanctum)


[22:47] Reno says, "I'll get to you..."
[22:47] Fleur Sanctum says, "Try what you will then."
[22:48] Faust Monteil says, "Ai found zat most imprezivé young lad, 'ave a ruard fair such effairts."
[22:49] {Item} Picked up a bag of 1000 dropped by Faust Monteil.
[22:52] After the bout had been decided rather quickly to her surprise she assumed.. he was much stronger than what she had seen. Regardless being who she was Fleur continued on displaying her adept control over the three flux of Magic she had been in control of.

Holy

Cosmic

Light

She displayed her beacon of light to those around and hopefully to Reno. Maybe she would influence him to follow a difference cause in the future or now. Who knows? After knocking him aside with a strong explosion of multiple Cosmic Stardust she manifested from her mana gained from being the conduit of Biblos - The North Star. Fleur made her way over and offered her hand and a smile as she convayed her emotions to the fallen boy before her.
(Fleur Sanctum)


[22:58]

"You glow, you spit and release magic, bearing all sorts of miracles and destruction. But at your core. You are human, and like the rest of us, your natural strength is not enough... So you turn to magic, but you know what."

Panting as he pushes himself up off the ground. His clothes all tattered up, ignoring the help. Only acknowledging the humane smile upon her face.
"I vowed to never touch offense magic, I value that human side of me too much just to cast it away to a higher power..."

He stared into Fleur's eyes. He became more calm as he spoke. "Get stronger, if this is what you truly believe in. But, I will never let anyone come into my home and act as if their actions will somehow fix our problems." He pants between each sentence.

He couldn't deny her strength. He saw the power of KRaus through this particular believer. He even saw this person, as someone who may even eventually become part of that section of history. He was now out of words, even though he had much to say, both compliments and bashing of certain actions being taken out. He honored this duel with his silence from this point on.
(Reno)


[22:59] Sienne says, "Hmm."
[22:59] Sienne asks, "Am I up next?"
[22:59] Nods.
(Reno)


[23:00] Fleur yells.
(Fleur Sanctum)


[23:00] Fleur Sanctum exclaims, "Good luck Mom to be!"
[23:00] Sienne says, "Ah... Ha..."
[23:00] Fleur clings to Anikos.
(Fleur Sanctum)


[23:00] Anikos Cirillo asks, "-- Mom to be?"
[23:00] Fleur Sanctum says, "Don't ask."
[23:00] Fleur Sanctum says, "Long story."
[23:00] Anikos Cirillo says, "Makes me want to ask more."
[23:00] Sienne cants her head.
(Sienne)


[23:01] Fleur Sanctum says, "Pspspsps."
[23:01] Ioannis asks, "Whhhhhhhhhhhhy?"
[23:01] Fleur hugs him tightly relieving his pain with her Holy Magic.
(Fleur Sanctum)


[23:02] Jumping back. Reno got into his stance once again, the practiced Advanced Time Auras ... Though he knew that this, as the MOTHER of the one who just defeated him. Reno would try, and see where his strength lied.

Thinking to himself,

The young teen was now ready. He looked to do as he did before. To aim for the vitals if he somehow managed to close the gap.. This was him standing up for the common man, and he'd face a hundred more battles like this in utter humiliation if it meant silence. For those of the outside to not enforce rules or beliefs upon those on his mountain home.
(Reno)

In comparison to most, Reno was quick on his feet and able to evade most of her attacks with refined nimbleness. The two hopped and danced around the field, flurries of light and the tug of time intermingling in an exhibition of varying experience and prowess, that which held leverage moreso with Sienne than the young man facing her blade.

There was much potential to be seen in his movement, much to grow into.

On the other end of the spectrum, Sienne carried her strides much like a glissade as her sword was flourished and reinforced with heavenly luminescence; a highly concentrated gale that would certainly work up a sweat from those it makes contact with.


The succeeding corollary was to be a conclusive victory, however, she looked upon the boy not with complacency, but a shining smile and pride on his behalf.

"You did well, young man. Not many are able to avoid my lunges in such a manner."

Stray locks are brushed away from her face, having fallen away from their default framing in the toil of their maneuvers.

"Keep working hard."

With that, a sparkling smile is flashed his way.
(Sienne)




Though the words of whom he assumed to be his foe, greeted him with comfort. Those he saw as oppressors to the Therian way of life. The teen felt a hint of rage and conflict, yet. He would not draw his hands against Sienne as his defeat was evident, another loss he would have to honor.

Reno felt the failure of his tactics, the flaws found within his development of the Chronos Aura. And he felt as if he were getting somewhere yet at the same time, stuck in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the holy light.

"You're all so strong... How are you so strong, when the power isn't truly yours?" He asked, on his knees and gazing up at Sienne.

"I miscalculated everything when the pressure was heavy on my shoulders... I broke under pressure and I lost... Not just because of power but because I lost focus."

Reno, was still and always will be passionate about learning all that he can from the world. And so, to cope with rage from what felt like oppression. He simply asked, for some form of history lesson about the followers of Kraus.

"Why did your God make you strong? Why do you follow that belief of serving a power unpresented to you?"
(Reno)

"A core aspect of faith is just that: entrusting your fate to influences far beyond your understanding. It is this faith that compels our feet forward, in spite of conceivable tragedies that may await us."

The gleaming blade is sheathed, where her hand then delicately rests atop the pommel. Azure eyes focus intently on the young man below, every thread of truth she could muster woven into her words and presented for him to ruminate on.

"It is our God, ever constant, who blesses us with the capability to carry forth His will through our own. All power is borrowed, this is fact; even the electricity that maintains the flow of our veins is drawn from the nutrients we consume, yes? Such is the law of life.

And much alike, we will return to that from whence we came, eternally contributing to this flow of give and take."

Sienne nods sagely.
(Sienne)

Silent. He allowed her to speak, to bless him with the wisdom of her religion, of what gave her the will to both live and fight. He accepted this, and in turn, he accepted them as who they were. He knew that a certain balance had to be maintained. This was the light which opposed the dark that surrounds him, what he fled from.

Being the first time he's encountered Holy magic, and only knowing about it from old stories. He begins to realize that maybe, he overreacted. "It was an honor, fighting you, I say... Seems that was the only way to learn huh?"

"My name is Reno, and, I'm sorry," said the teen who bowed his head. Sienne came off as a veteran of her beliefs, and such was evident through her child who blossomed from the parental guidance of a true and faithful believer.
(Reno)

An even softer smile graced Sienne's countenance, one of thoughtfulness. How endearing.

Likewise, she nodded her head and replied in gentle tones. "I am Sienne. A pleasure to meet you, Reno."
(Sienne)
