Private - Beauty and...

Calm as a cold winter. Vivian and her healthy, seductive smile moved from place to place as she sauntered like she owned the world in the palm of her hands. Little did she know that her vigors as a chaos maker were short and in between from those who seriously knew how to justify the word 'mayhem' and not only by word alone, but action as well! On days like those where her potential seemed to lax, she was inspired by the dawning of yesterlore and what had catered to the living of those knee deep shadowed thoughts.

Her blue spool of eyes wandered from great tragedies and wondered when she would get that unnerved feeling of uneasiness. Surely there was someone out there that could best her at making people or things uncomfortable. Rumors were rumors of course, but there was a lingering thought that by chance she might get to enjoy the company of one of these wicked few. Her soft touch sought a branch of a tree, brown dirt rubbed off her hand as she moved the branch and snapped in half as she pushed forward. Around her hip dangled an exotic instrument of destruction, however, little did she know in the ways of Slashing. She had picked it up as a secondary offensive when her Malefimancy would not be tolerated. Where spells could not be cast, a sword at her side would be her go to.

With a hand on the hilt of the exotic blade, Vivian continued to step through the forested land coming up to a small ravine. Her eyes shimmered like that of the twisting water the babbled left of her. The thin walls around her felt suffocating as she took noticed of the small cracks in the earthen walls. She would guide her swaying body across the small river, kicking and splashing as she did so as the uplifted water seemed to turn into blue golden droplets as her innocence moved away from the ravine. As she passed by another set of trees, the female sat on a rock while moving the strapped weapon from its hold from her hip. Placing the sheathed weapon towards the side, the woman danced around in the soft grass bounding for her HUD and began one by one dematerializing her armor till she was in nothing more than a pair of panties. Her naked form met with the cool touch of the water. Her long purple hair tickling the small of her back as she swept her foot along the surface of the water.

"Chilly." she had spoken softly, though there was no doubt any soul in sight. She could freely bathe in this water and enjoy the cool offering it gave from the warm sun that had beat across her body during her travels. Inch by inch she moved allowing the comfort of the water to take her form, before she stood knee deep. Bending over slightly, she cupped water into her hands and began to soak her perfect skin with those refreshing pools. Ideally, she would not be seen. But the curious minds of players seeing a half naked woman; oh what a pleasure that would be! But she thought nothing of the sort, and focused on cooling her body with the rich, crystal blue waters.

One eye veiled from the curtain of purple hair, the female Malefimancer traced her fingers across her belly, remembering that the curse was still in place. The thought buzzed her mind with thought, but she decided to sweep it away. Gnawing on her lower lip, Vivian seductively washed her body as she knelt down and once again poured the cold water over every curve of her natural form. @Seto Kurama

 

Gritting his teeth, he didn't think it would have taken this long to return to Castle Dormont, this was taking longer than he had expected. It seemed that the trail that he had thought to have been a shortcut
turned out nothing more than a dud. Dammit this irritated him greatly, he knew he should have stayed on the makeshift path he had made strectching from his land down south all the way to the Capital. No matter where he traveled within Astorea, the Adecus Forest was always a major pain to treverse, sepecially how thick the forest could become, one could take it as a africian jungle with how dense it was. This density was a problem, a major one now, The heavy brush and vines of the Adecus forest were now becoming too much to walk through action. With the Adecus Forest being so dense, it seemed Seto had no real choice in the matter, sighing at the brush infront of him, he unsheathed his Odachi from it's resting place in his saya, revealing it's four feet long metal blade. Taking a Sha No Kamae similar stance with his right foot behind him, Seto gripped his Odachi's hilt with his hands as he prepared himself, readying his breathing and gathering the strength required from his body. When he found himself ready, using his gathered strength, he used his muscle in his arms to pull the blade quickly up in a series of powerful strikes against the brush in vines infront of him. With the momentum of many vertical, horizontal and diagonal slashes in succession, the opponents laid before him were devastated as he slowly walk through the path clearing his way.

At last after pushing himself further into the forest towards Dormont and it's castle, the Adecus forest began to show mercy on his soul with it's many tree's bushes, vines etc becoming much looser, he could finally relax his arms and hands after swinging his gigantic katana around. Sheathing his Odachi once more in it's saya on his back, he contiuned onwards through the Adecus Forest, eventually Seto stumbled across a small ravine which only meant one thing, a break. At first he thought his eyes had decieved him, playing a trick on him but opon gently slamming himself and nodding his head back and forth, it seemed his eyes were being honest with him. Reliefed, ultimately Seto decided to let out his fustration and tiredness in one last sigh before looking around. He quite amazed there was a ravine near Dormont, he had been though this area countless times and not once had he ever came across any natural water sources. Judgining by the thin walls near the river, clearly quite some time ago, this water used to be higher in elevation but that was tivil information, it didn't matter. Shrugging his shoulders at his own thoughts on the matter, Seto decided to take off once more, traveling down along the water line, he saw some large sized Oak tree's which provided a nice bit of shade and therfore camouflage. "Good" He muttered under his breath, he really didn't feel like getting into a fight with some random bandit or traveler, he just wanted to sit and relax for awhile before returning to Dormont's castle..

After walking over to the spot he desired thar provided protection from the sun and camouflage from the others, Seto sat himself against the old Oak tree down in the shade, ignoring the rays of the sun coming partily though the branches despite the fact it heated his face. Removing the Saya from his back, he placed his Odachi on the ground nearby before he materialized his Icha Icha Paradise book using his UI. He decided to lay his pain hurting back against the tree, with one hand on his lap and the other holding his book, he tuned out the rest of the world as he began reading his book. Unforuntely he didn't get very far into his book when he heard the sudden splashes of a person or animal in the distance. Looking up, he was surprised to find a tall, purple hair woman in the ravine......and naked apparently. "Not getting involved with that." He thought to himself, he wasn't in the mood to get scoled by some woman for being a prevert, besides he didn't see any point in doing so, what was so magical to see a woman naked? Than again he did remember majority of the people on Terrasphere were immautre imbeciles and perverts. Shrugging his shoulders with his head tilted somewhat, he returned to his reading, ignoring the purple hair, naked woman in front of him in the distance. He was just happy it wasn't Sola or else she probably try something..

@Vivian Cruz ​

 

Her hair was kept up away from the water as she continued to bathe her body in the silver spoon of the lake. Its crystal clear waters cooling her body, giving her a more aroused look from the looks of things. She sat on a small rock and shifted her legs out in a stretch as the water raced over her finely toned legs. She leaned back as her arms helped to keep her steady and level, just enjoying the rolling waters over her digital form. Her eyes closed with a smile that could even make the sun blush. Her unique shapely body moved once again as she blinked, a cold breeze came wafting over her mostly moist skin.

She shivered lightly from the passing breeze, "That was odd. It was so warm just a moment ago and now I'm nipping like crazy." A small splash of water and then woman had got up from her seat. Arms folded over her body before she sauntered back over to her gear. A few quick and easy hand glides across her menu and she was once again adorned in her silver armor. Leaning down, she lifted the chain that connected her weapon to her belt. A decorative sheath but an ordinary shop made blade was the best she could do at this time.

Feeling a bit warm again the woman had seriously thought her feminine body from the real world was taking over. She was only twenty-eight, she was not old enough for cold and hot flashes so this must be the work on the environment. Still though, she wished she could have enjoyed that bath a little longer. With the back of her hand, she allowed the full wild nature of her purple hair to unfurl off her shoulder and over her backside. With the sword attached to her belt once more, she swung it towards the side of her hips and started to go in the opposite direction.

As she came strolling by, she noticed a change in the air. From above her she could see very little since the sun was high and masking much of her view, but there seemed to be a figure or something up there.

"Trees must be some kind of cool-kid hang out thing." The woman said to herself. Finally to get a look-see as to who or what might have been up there, she shielded her one exposed eye from the rays of the sun, looking up there was indeed a figure up in those trees.

"Hello Handsome! How did you enjoy the view?" It was a question that was on the edge of assumption. She did not know how long he had been up there or if he had seen the little show she displayed by the ravine river. But no doubt she would question it as if she did know and assumed as much. With that coyish grin on her face that was slick with seduction, the female shifted her weight to one leg to look more becoming and again with that sultry smile. @Seto Kurama

 

The windy breeze alongside the warm rays of the sun felt just nice, hitting against his body as he read his small pocket book held up by his hand. He wouldn't be able to stay like this for long,being an important person now and everything. Sometimes he weeped for the old days when he could do anything he wanted as he held no responsibilities nor loyality to no one man or woman. He sighed at that very thought, those normal players like that purple haired woman in the distance didn't have to care about anything in the world, maybe one day he could be reliefed from his duties and spend time with Emmeline and Aalam but until that day, it looked like he was stuck playing as a noble for now.

Seto snapped back to it when he heard a voice, a female voice! Tilting his head up to see where the voice was coming from, it was rather unexpected to see the pruple haired woman that was bathing naked previously was calling out for and not trying to scolded or attempting to take his life. She was staring at him dressed now thankfully although with a cocky grin speaking as If she was trying to seduce him, she was probably just teasing him with her words.Enjoy the view? He didn't even watched that bathing of the skin, was their a reason to do so? He nodded his head slightly in dissapointment, it seemed there were still players putting him in with the other ninty five percent of the idiots in this world.

Seto

"Show? What show?....Oh you mean your display of the skin? Sorry to dissapoint you but am not a child interested in such perversion......I'be been here reading my book since before you arrival. After you decided to take a bathe, I seemingly ignored you, giving my book my attention. Speaking of views however and the tone of your seductive voice, are you enjoying your's? You wouldn't be the first woman who's acted this way towards me."

Opening his UI, he swiped the screens using the tip of his index finger until he got to his inventory, scrolling to his book, his clicked on the icon for his book, dematerializing his book from his hand. Seto than stepped off against the tree, dusting off any dirt on his white kimono before bending over and grabbing the saya on the ground that housed his Odachi. Obviously it didn't take for him to strap it along his waist to hold in place. For a moment, he turned his head in an hundred and eighty degree's, taking his surrounding in, nothing changed besides for this unknown woman infront of him. Well he had no choice did he? He couldn't ignore her could she? Joining his hands together under his Kimono's sleeves, Seto decided to approach her.​

Seto

"Worry not seductive miss, I have taken my break long enough so I shall allow you to have this place to yourself, I am needed at Castle Dormont for rather dull duties."

 

Vivian smiled and having that alluring charm she was so fond of using towards the male. She tilted her head and then her body relaxed, moving one hand over the crook of her neck.

"Can't say I am enjoying the view. I'm getting this crick in my neck from having to stare up into that tree. Not to mention I am mostly looking up into the sun, so no, not a great view. However, if you came down from your perch perhaps the view would be better?"

It was almost as if on whim that the tall player found his feet on the ground. The woman giggled mildly and she looked up at him and clapped her hands twice, "See? That wasn't so hard now was it? Ahh. Well, look at you! You are one handsome devil. Suffice to say I am probably one of the ninety-five percent of the people who are perverted, but that's one of my charms. But how many of that ninety-five can you say are Professionals?" She laughed with one hand over her mouth before sweeping the long hair off her shoulder.

Like a lioness, she circled the player giving her eyes the much enjoyment of seeing him in such display. You've built your character well enough, you look strong..." Even as he spoke she didn't really seem to care what 'duties' he needed to carry out.

"That doesn't sound like fun. And you don't need to call me Miss, you may call me Vivian." The woman stopped as she made her full circle around him. Those light blue eyes looking over him once again as she eyed the rather neat looking sword.

"Slasher type, huh? Well, isn't that a coincidence? I too am a swordswoman. But it looks like yours is a little more destructive than mine. Tell me, what duties are required of you that you have no time to play with me, hmm? You don't look like the sort of fellow that plays around. But ya know what they say! All work and no play makes for a dull life. How about you party up with me for a little while! That would be a rad idea, don't you think? Just for a little while? Please~?" She was asking politely, something about Mr. Strong, Dark and Handsome seemed to have her up in a little tizzy. @Seto Kurama

 

It was like in his head, his mind had a mental sigh, Eyeing the purple haired woman out of curiosity, this really felt like deja vu to him. He knew he had never once met this woman but she felt so dam familiar. Even her method of words such as calling him a handsome devil and her tone of voice seemed way too similar.....Was she that red hair woman he had met early in his life in Terrashpere? He gently nodded his head at that idea, no it couldn't be, she had dissappeared soon after.....that particular event......Could it be her? With a new character? Impossible??!! Well there was only one way to find out eh? To find out what he wanted, he would need to pay close attention to this woman and se what she would do next.

With her mild giggling and staring, he returned the favour and stared back as she continued on speaking, explaining she was probably part of the majority of the fanbase whom were perverts but she seemingly enjoyed being perverted, he rolled his eyes at that comment, he couldn't say he was surprised by how she was acting towards him. With the pushing of bangs over her shoulders, she contiuned onwards with a question on asking him on how many people were Professionals. In Seto's mind, that was a very simple question to answer, out of the ninty five percent, only roughly one to five percent took their professions seriouslys, let alone the world itself. Than without another words, this mysterious woman did a three hundred sixty around him, seemingly just to check him out, Seto stood there silently, watching her from the corner of her eyes, choosing to listen to her first before speaking once more. Her comments wern't unusual than the other comments he usually recieved from players and NPC's alike, of corse he looked strong because he wa strong! For pete's sake his Odachi's length was long as a pre teen at four feet and half and it's weight was seventy five pounds, he had to be strong to wield such a blade with grace and skill!

Eventually she did tell him her name"....Vivian uh?" He muttered to himself in his own mind, For once he met a player with a somewhat regular name like his own, most people he had met had weird names, slur words for a name or carried a fantasy name from some fantasy novel or game. Back infront of him again, with her eyes the same colour of the ocean, she stared back him and his Odachi again while explaining to him that she believed they were of the same profession, a swordsmen. Well she was partily true and but partily wrong at the same time, technically speaking he was a Fiend Knight but that was information he usually had to keep secret from NPC's and the goody too shoes that wanted all dark users dead. The Challengers that wanted to take his life were never a challenge of course but they did prove quite meddlesome and annoying, something he had little time for. By the time she was finished speaking about his profession, the quality of his blade to his work and asking for....play time, he was sure these two women had to be of the same, either that or they had to be related, the similarities were too much to ignore but despite that, he decided he would ask her later, after all she seemed to have gotten his attention, something few managed to do.

Seto

"Hmm.....Well Vivian you have seemed to have grabbed my attention for a variet of reasons. By your actions just now, it's safe to assume you are more than enjoying the view now at this "handsome devil" however for your pervertedness, you seem more playful than perverted to me unless you would like to prove me wrong.

As for what I do, I am in a way a swordsmen but technically I am a Friend Knight of Astorea, more specifically a Duke of Astorea but it doesn't mater right now....details. My blade is an Odachi, I crafted it myself from scatch back when Terrasphere allowed true smithing, as a result this Odachi is one of the few true's Katana's in this entire world, most are simply modified longswords which logically you can't do that but it's nots like blacksmithing is realistic in this world.

Being a Duke has no benefits at the moment but the work I do is important, albeit dull as one would expect from such a position. Am not really in such a hurry to die by paperwork however so I suppose I would I could follow your rad idea and party up, I haven't killed something with my blade or black magic in awhile anyway. Being in the company of a beautiful woman doesn't hurt either at certain times.

What did you have in mind for the two of us?

 

The woman shrugged at his question. Whether she was playful or a pervert, that was for him to decide. She just wanted to have a good time. Then he began to explain what his title was, a 'fiend knight,' as he called it. Vivian's eyes twinkled at that statement, her red lips peeling apart into a bright smile as she laughed, her hand touching him ever so softly just to do so before her fingers swept down the length of his arm and right back at her side.

"A Fiend Knight! Well, that sounds like fun. And you are a Duke as well? You must have some odd relations with people if you are Dark Duke or whatever. So you get to boss people around then? You have your own land and estate, then? Must be nice to have so much wealth and power."

Vivian danced her fingers through the bicolored strands of purple hair as she smoothed it down over her chest. With a finger, she began to spin her hair with light twists as she eyed the male swordsman once more with those curious eyes of hers. Giving a laugh and soft clap of her gentle hands, the female Malefimancer nodded her head.

With the back of her hand, she swept the long hair off her shoulder, a habit she usually does to show off those long springy coils at the ends of her hair and then stood side by side with him. "What to do? What to do? Very good question. How about we just go where the wind takes us, hmm? That sounds like a lot more fun than just planning something and doing it."

With a glint in her eyes, the woman moved for the hilt of her exotic cutlass and smiled. SLowly she wrapped her hand around the base of the blade and slowly pulled it out for the light to bounce off the reflective metal surface. She turned to the swordsman, "Well Mr. Duke of Strong Odachiness, did you have a name or would you rather me just call you Duke? Cause I can do that."

The woman lifted her blade above her head and it came crashing down through the air parting the wind before it rolled back into her hair and sweeping off her shoulder causing the perfume on her body to float by the senses of the Duke Odachi Carrier. With a hand over her blade, the woman began to mildly chant. Darkness began to well around the base before it pulsated with a dark energy.

With a bemused laughter, "I forgot to mention. I too am a practitioner of dark arts. Looks like we have something else in common there, huh?" @Seto Kurama

 

Vivian laughter did not amuse him at all, it just resulted in him rolling his eyes at her attempt at a "good time". Than came the questions again, asking about his profession and title and the power that came with such authority, he really couldn't tell If she was curious or just messing with him but now she was starting to remind him of that other woman he had dealt with earlier when he was traveling to his land in the south, he couldn't remember her name but Vivian was starting to act like her which....wasn't a good thing for her sake. Seto continued to watch silently as she spoke, he didn't think he be able to get any words in anyway and even If he did, she would most likely just play around his words like she was doing right now as she played with the bangs of her purple hair that laid over her chest before eying him yet again with her crystal blue eyes.

With how this Vivian girl acted, He was beginning to believe that the gods or Terrasphere itself enjoyed pairing him with women of this type, he really didn't understand why he always met women of this type, the very thought made him sigh sightly, Vivian's comment on what to do didn't help either, especially when she just simply wanted to wonder. Her sudden movement and the drawing of her weapons only forced him to contiune watching her, he did nothing standing in his spot emotionless, he waited for the moment she would try and attempt to strike him down. Much to his surprise, this woman didn't try anything of the sort, perhaps this woman was far more intelligent than the other women he had met on travels? With the exception of one of them, possiblility two, the rest seemed idiots who had no brains or were simply children. When she finally asked for his name, the thought of lying towards the woman did come to his mind for the moment but after giving it some true thought, he shrugged, he didn't see any point, If she had a brain worth anything she would find out soon enough due to his reputation.

Seto

"My name?....It is a simple one, easy to remember....It is Seto Kurama"

Seto eyed the woman again when as she lifted her own blade into the air over her head before letting it fall,making a gust of wind into her air, pushing her scent towards him. It didn't smell bad like an odor but it didn't exactly smell anything good per say so he dismissed it from his mind, ignoring as soon as it came.
Following the movement of her blade came her chanting in moderation where soon after a few seconds, vile dark purple energy similar to his own began to take form over her blade. He was astonished he met another user that could muster the courage and skill to harness the dark arts as weapon. Of course her skill was amateurish at best but still, If she could harness the power he used than she had potenial for greatness. After her confusing laughter, Vivian did confirm what he already knew beforehand although he couldn't say for now how much they had in common besides using blades and dark magic.

Seto

"Perhaps but from what I can see, you still have much to learn about the dark arts and becoming it's master is not something that will transpire in a day. You will almost die a great many times before you do and even than, it may not be enough...."

​

 

"Well, Seto. I am not particularly fond of losing my head. How about a friendly wager? Of course this will be a long standing wager. Six months from today, I say I will not die at all and that my mystical arts will improve vastly! If by then that I have not died, then you give me something I want. You are a Duke afterall, I am sure you could afford just about anything. Of course, should you win the wager, then I'll be more than happy to do or give to you whatever it is that you wish. Seems like a fair trade? Besides I enjoy a good challenge."

The woman flicked the blade in her hand letting out the shrill sound of cutting air as she swept it over towards one shoulder to balance it as she stood. With her one exposed eye glinting with her style of mischief, the woman shifted her weight off one foot so that it was all distributed evenly throughout her legs as she began to walk.

She began to walk. Her footsteps were light as they continued on no set path, but she was keeping her eyes peeled for anything remotely interesting to catch their attention. Here was a man name Seto, brimming with all the power one could possibly want from a game, and then this woman, Vivian who had potential but was still relatively new. She walked with sultry movements, swaying her hips as she had done so many times before to lure the eyes on her. She loved the attention and loved to tease, but sometimes...

"You are not into women that much in this game, huh? I mean, you must have a pretty happy life outside of this if you care little for my so called Charms. Are you married, Seto? Is that why you wont let your eyes linger where they should not be going? Or perhaps you just have a girlfriend. Well, my friend, I won't say anything if you don't." She winked at him and erupted into a small fit of laughter. She stopped and playfully touched his shoulder and shook her head while smiling.

When her warm fingers left the top of his hand and she moved away from him, the ground shook with a force of an earthquake as a massive sized beast came crashing out from the side of the forest and right in their path. It had caught Vivian completely off guard and she stumbled back when the massive creature let out an ear piercing roar.

​

"Wh-What the hell is that, Seto?" The woman backed away with the sword in her hand, she was not expecting something like this to just come out of the forest walls. She slid the naked blade of her sword back into its sheath. If she had to fight, she would need to use her Dark Spells.

Immediately she began to call on the forces of Black Magic to aid her. Using sweeping arm movements, the woman readied her spells whatever may be needed. "I hope that thing is not too much for you... Or else, that little wager from earlier is about to go up in smoke." Despite her once alarmed state, she seemed to have calmed her nerves as was setting up a spell circle and was radiating with dark energy as her fingers dotted the vortex of spiraling black energy around her. @Seto Kurama

 

"A wager?" Why would she want to wager herself to him? This woman was difficult to read, she was more akin to a damm puzzle! Maybe she just wanted an easy way to gain power or wanted some materialistic iteam? He dismiessed it from his mind, surviving on Terrasphere for six months was difficult If you wished to do anything entertaining and what he meant by entertaining, he meant anything that was dangerous and that didn't even include world boss events and story events and this woman didn't come off as a person who sit around doing nothing. Still, he anything he wanted? She was a newer player so obviously she couldn't provide much, If anything but her life. He could use that or another servant who kill or cause chaos where ever needed, she seemed she would be best in that position and it would make Emmeline's life easier since she wasn't one for killing people unless he forced her too.

Seto

"Hmm....very well Vivian, I shall accept this wager you have put on the table. When I win however, let it be known now that I will have your body, heart and soul until I sat otherwise. I could always use a Fiend Knight that enjoys killing and Chaos in my service."

There was a moment of silence after his words were spoken as Vivian moved her blade through the air, attempting to balance her blade as the woman shifted her weight off her legs as she bagan to walk. Not knowing where she could be walking to, he eyed her closely, deciding to wait a few seconds before deciding to walk after her. Compared to his own footsteps, Vivian's proved quiet, elegent and seductive in her stance, swaying her lower body, no doubt trying to get his attention. Obivously at first it drew his attention since she was right infront of him walking but after a few moments, her seductive walking did nothing for him.
She must have been reading his mind or perhaps he was easy to read since she turned her head to ask him a question he got quite often from many players, especially women. Laying his right hand on his chinn, he stood there in silence thinking of a answer before answering Vivian's question.

Seto

"I am....not homosexual or asexual however unlike the many children whom play this game, I do not allow my urge or allow petty things define who I am. I am a Duke and one of the strongest warriors in these world, I do not have the time for such immature little girls who care nothing of the world besides social interactions. Besides ninty nine percent of women on here are weak and palethic whores .....hmph they are worse than scum itself and I don't tolerate or deal with whores. There are plenty of examples of that, one good example was a player named Keade who tried to get me into a three way on her first day here....beacuse reasons.

I only respect women who are strong in body and spirit and those who have admirable traits and goals regardess wether their evil or good. Unforunetely such women are extremely rare in this world, few seem to have a high intelligence in anythng besides innercourse, socializing and fighting amonst themselves or against weak mobs. What are you? You may be perverted but so far to me, you don't come off as one of these idiotic little girls.

As for my romantic life, It is obvious is it not? I have no one since no one fits that criteria. The real world on the other hand is far more complex but that is my business to know."

He wasn't sure If his long answer satisfied her thirst for the knowledge he held in his head but her laughter wasn't very amusing liking usual, he seemingly ignored it for his own sanity's sake. Of course she stopped dead in her tracks to playfully touch his shoulder with her fingers while she gave him one of her iconic smiles again. The sudden ruptere of the ground stopped whatever Vivian was planning to do next when a massive beast came borrowing out of the ground from the forest tree line from the side. It's sudden appearance and it's thunderous roar caused Vivian to sumble, it was no surprise she was cought completely off guard.
For himself it was a tad different, he was surprised that this wyvern came out of nowehere but unlike the majority of the players he met on his journey's, thanks to his paranoia and experience, he was always ready for a climatic battle at any moment.

Vivian had no idea what in oblivion she was looking at when she made it obvious to him by asking him as she backed away slowly. He knew it was of the wyvern family but had no idea of it's typing or species. Without such knowledge, this could prove a long pitched battle but he didn't mind, it was either this or go back to Castle Dormont and do paperwork..........like hell he was gonna pass up the chance to bring down such a mighty beast!

Seto

Seto gritted his teeth as he started into the eyes of the beast that stared him down. Using his right hand, he drew the four feet long blade from his saya on his back.

"Stand firm Vivian, This is a wyvern, a type of dragon of sorts but not quite as deadly.....Still though am surprise such a wyvern is this close to the captial. I wonder If this is it's territory or If it has young.....well it doesn't matter now since it clearly wants to kill us.

I do not know of it's species or typing so watch it carefully. especially it's movements, don't expect this battle to end shortly. This is gonna prove more difficult than the time I had fought that Elder Troll with an entire war party.

Perhaps I should use Dark Ascension right away unlike last time?....Hmm"

Turning his head behind just for a second, Vivian decided abandon close combat for ranged combat instead, he supposed that was fine since he was a master of close combat obviously. He chuckled at her comment of their little wager only a few minutes ago.

Seto

"I don't think so, I'll be having you before the end of the Day Vivian. I won't let this thing kill me that easily. If it taking me down than am taking it with me....all the way to hell itself!"

Gathering his energy from the many veins in his body, he forced the energy up through his body to his hands and when he finally collected it within his hands. Following that, he turned the energy's neutral nature into the darkness he needed, changing it's nature, he forced his energy from his hands to around his blade, engulfing the entire Odachi's blade with a sickening vile, dark purple flame like aura that roared in the air as if it screamed out for death itself.

Seto

"This isn't the first beast I have slayed and it certainly won't be the last.
After all I was orginally a monster slayer before I became a noble."

 

The woman's one exposed eyes seemed to glimmer as he said those words. The corner of her red lips parted with a smirk as her dark fingers darted the air around her. A breeze rolled over her, lifting the purple hair off her shoulder and exposing her right eye. The glow of blue suddenly changed to a byzantine hue. The wind roared around her body seeming to cast off different shades of grey through the encounter.

Both Seto and Vivian were displaying the powers of their dark arts. One through his sword and body, she through the arts she began to chant in a low tone. Her eyes moved from the Wyvern to the ground as if she was summoning a ghoul or something to her aid, but instead the air became thick like a fog and began to smell of rot and disease.

With her lips parted and her hands moving to amass the dark cloud, her body moved with the fluidity of the spell driving the stench towards the beast. The darkness of the foul-odored air seemed to be carried by the wind as she enchanted the mist to move towards the intended target. It was one of her most common spells; the Choking Cloud of Death. A vile and foul smelling whiff of cloud that when inhaled would attack the insides of anything that it passed through.

Only she knew very few spells to cast, many more were only experiments. She had been touched by ideas of calling forth the denizens of Hell, but she made little sense of wishing to summon such things. Her idea of Darkness was something in beauty of life, not directly involved with death. No, her idea of Darkness was more chaotic and free form like her soul. WIth a smile, she narrowed her eyes and began to twist her hands in the air once more.

"Keep the Wyvern busy. I am gonna try something new..." She said to Seto, but her spell was going to take some time and a lot of energy. She knew what she was about to do could very well split her body apart if this didn't come out right, but it was going to be one bad ass spell if she could pull it off.

 

OOC: Postimage decided to crash today so anything revolving my pics are down for now.

The sudden appearance of the Wyvern and it's thunderous roar caused the dirt and dust to kick up as the gust of wind flickered back towards himself and Vivian. Raising his arm as a shield of sorts, he attempted to shield his eyes from the dirt and dust the best he could. Looking back behind him, Vivian was already at it with her words chanting the power of the darkness that soon began to take the shape of a ebony cloud. Vivian didn't waste any time sending her attack at the Wyvern in the distance when ready. From his eyes it didn't do much damage to the beast when it had inhaled the ebony cloud into his mouth but than again Vivian wasn't a master of her craft yet but at least it would do sap damage he figured? Suddenly after her attack Vivian yelled at towards him to keep the Wyvern while she brewed up some new spell of sorts? Whatever it didn't matter to him. Seto simply nodded back to her

Staring back at the beast whom in returned did the same, both waited for each to make the first move, unforunutely Seto grew tired after waiting for nearly an entire minute. Gripping his imbued Odachi with dark energies, he slowly raised his blade over his head as he smirked at the Wyvern infront of some fifty feet away. Immediately afterwards, Seto shouted three words as he forced his Odachi's blade to rip through the air sharply downwards in a verticaly strike at the Wyvern infront of him.

"Maximum Reality Slashes!"​

​

Coming down at astonishing speeds, Seto's Odachi in response to Seto's forced movements of the blade took the initiative, creating a massive series of devastating combo attacks, with every vertical, horizontal and diagonal strike, a dark purple magical slash in the form of the blade itself came screaming out of the blade towards the Wyvern. With so many magical slashes coming nearly all at once at the Wyvern at such speeds, it's wings forced it into the air in effort to dodge his attack. Seto gritted his teeth when the Wyvern took off like a rocket into the air, dodging his attacks with easy from soaring in the opposite direction to perform a barrel roll. It didn't seem to take what Seto had done kindly. For almost a second, Seto nearly fazed out as the Wyvern looked like it was going to vomit on them.

Violently he shook his head to get back to reality when the Wyvern meant busineess, unleashing a series of balls of fire at him and Vivian, he'd only have seconds to counter. Droping his Odachi from his hands, he immediately Joined his hands together in a T or X of sorts high into the air over his head. Quickly he raced the energy that throughout his body once more to his energy and quickly turned into the type of energy he needed for his next spell. In a few split seconds, his vile and consuming dark energy took form around his hands in the sense of a circular arura before moments laters a ray of purple energy came bursting out from his hands.

​

Covering himself and Vivian, a circular dome composed of his magical energy took form just as the Wyvern's balls of fire smashed against the force field he had just created, causing a small shockwave to occur outside the barrier.

Seto

"Whatever you do, don't leave the protection of the barrier until that thing's fireballs stop coming down."

 

A wave of purple energy came crashing down upon them in the essence of a shield. Vivian's hair fell silently back over her shoulder as the dome he created seemed to cut off all detail's of the wind. Within the dome was a hush of silence and his words then the oncoming rain of fire from the Wyvern's own gullet. The shield was smashed with those balls of fire and energy, and yet defiant eyes looked back up and her mouth never seemed to left off on the chanting.

She was fixed in a state of seriousness and pleasure, this one particular spell had a lot of oomph in it and it made her nose wrinkle as she pulled the forces from beneath the ground. Her hands were buzzing with energy as her mantra continued, words that were spoken were low in tone almost inaudible. However the more she spoke, the more her hands became like a festering disease of Byzantium Purple. Her eyes began to match the glow of her fingers as she continued to sweep the energy as if gathering energy.

"A little more time," she insisted as a bead of sweat began to roll down the side of her face. With her one eye exposed, the woman was concentrating the best she could. She saw no cracks in the force field but even with the amount of power and energy Seto had, it would not last for long. She could not quicken this spell either as she was using her own life force as a means of sacrifice to the pact she was seemingly creating with whatever or whomever she was speaking to.

Her hands moved like a blur now; not like a quickness or a patch of time being slowed down. They were just blurs a phenomenon she had not expected and which quite frankly even spooked herself. She was at the cusp of the power now though, she could feel it all around her inside her body. Her red lips parted into that saccharine smile she glorified so much.

"Ok...I'm just about ready. Release the shield, but make sure none of those balls of molten fire stay clear away from me. I'll kill that beast in one shot, just you watch..." She was confident in her ability and this spell but only time would tell before it was released. @Seto Kurama

 

Keeping this magical barrier up was starting to strain his body of his energy after a few minutes of constant use, was this damm Wyvern ever going to give it a break shooring fireballs at them? At the same time from the Wyvern's prospective, he would probably do the same thing, staying out of melee range in favour of ranged combat in an effort to nullify the melee fighters, making them useless. With him it didn't matter since he could do all ranges of combat wether with his sword like he had just done with his blade or by the usage of his hands using Arcanamancy to fire off a powerful ray of purple energy at the enemy. Despite what abilities he could use to assault that Wyvern soaring in the sky unleashing hell on himself and Vivian, he was still stuck in damm place holding this barrier up to Protect Vivian.

Although the barrier was keeping those balls of death from injuring or killing them, still the heat from the countless assaults on his barrier was beginning to take a toll on him and Vivian, evident he was starting to sweat up a storm from all the heat as well as the physical mental strains put on his body. This barrier ability while incredibly effective for it's defensive properties was a high energy consumption spell he could only safetly use upto ten minutes at the most, If Vivian planned on surviving the battle with this beast, she might want to hurry up yeah? Those thoughts as well as Vivian's continuous almost silent chanting words of power and the constant sounds of oozing energy was starting to irritate him greatly, it was already hard enough keeping his concentration up while he feed the barrier with the energy he kept constantly gathered from his body with all this ruckus behind him. This attack or ability she was preparing better be power enough to deal real damage or else Seto was going to be royally pissed afterwards whenever this was over.

What? She needs tad more time? Those very words caused him to sigh more, what in oblivion could she have her sleeve that could be powerful enough to kill a Wyvern in one shot? Even he didn't have an ability or an attack that could kill the Wyvern in one shot unless the damm thing sat still when he would unleash his attack. Looking back her hands looked similar to his own, looking tattered and rotten with the magic she was using, her eyes as well were glowing vile purple, a sight that admittly made him comfortable than around others who used magic he dispised of. Seto felt reliefed when Vivian shouted out to him bring down the shield. looking back up into the sky, the Wyvern had by now stopped firing balls of firery death at them, instead choosing to soar through the sky as If it knew the barrier's weakness itself, the user. When he felt there was enough distance between them and the Wyvern, Seto closed the portals from his hands that fed the barrier the energy it need. After a few moments, the barriers dispersed when it no longer had the energy it needed to sustain itself. Seto in response fell back on knee from exhaustion and breathed heavily than before.

Seto

"Am definitely having some alcohol after this. That damm blasted King should pay me for dealing with shit like this while he sits on his lazy ass."

​

 

When the haze of the ethereal shield had dispersed, it was time to put all that energy stored up within her body out. Her lustrous silver armor specked with purple bits of energy as her hands began to move in motion once more. When Seto fell to one knee from the exertion of his spell, she knew she had to act quick.

"Hold on!" Bringing her hands from afar. She slapped them together causing all the energy in her body to just float away. Tendrils of almost liquid like substance shot from the ground and roared into the sky to capture the wyvern head on.

The massive creature was caught in mid flight and stood frozen as the tendrils of energy wrapped around each of its massive arms, then leashed it around the neck. Dark purple ooze seemed to spill from the corner of her mouth as she struggled to keep her body intact with this chosen spell. With her hands tight in their own embrace, her fingers slowly started to peel apart. In Between her hands, was some sort of odd discolored essence of light as she started to peel them away.

At the same time up in the sky, the Wyvern was having a fit as it struggled to get free of this odd prison and hold upon its limbs. Her eyes flashed and darkness was once more oozing from her exposed skin. As her hands now finally peeled apart from the sticky substance, she gave out one final grunt of exertion before they completely separated.

The tendrils that had latched onto the monstrous Wyvern had disappeared completely and had melted away from the creature as it once more flew around and around. There was a sudden calmness in the air but Vivian seemed a bit perplexed, "I...I think I did it wrong?" she was unsure.

A few moments passed before the Wyvern fell from the sky and landed right in front of them. It roared with a horrifying shriek as saliva and drool spilled from it's mouth ready to make a meal out of the two exhausted warriors. Just as the Wyvern was about to open its maw and unleash hell upon them, it had stopped. A translucent purple light in the image of the Wyvern began to echo off its physical body.

"Yes...there it goes..." She said quietly to herself knowing full well the Spell had worked as intended. The Wyvern threw it's head upwards as it's life essence began to spill out of its mouth spiraling towards the sky. A moment later when the last wisp of light left its body, the Wyvern was torn from the middle and exploded into particles. It rained over them as the massive Wyvern was no more. Breathing heavily, Vivian got down on her one knee right next to Seto and swept the long hair from off her shoulder.

"Not bad for an amateur, huh?" @Seto Kurama
