[center][h2]Diver's Paradise[/h2] [sub]The remnants of battle.[/sub][/center] Luke looked over the remains of the CMAS fodder mages that littered Divers paradise. He stood between the two southern pillars, on the risen path that lead between them, and met in front of the tunnel he'd entered from. There were hundreds of mages scattered across the underground, most dressed in the common CMAS uniform. Luke made his way down the ramp that lead into the main square from the southern exit, pausing only to glance at a CMAS troop that lay dead on his stomach. That wretched crest that they wore on the back of their uniforms made him cringe. Idiotic dogs, the lot of them. They obeyed without question, or remorse for those that Sydney pointed his treacherous fingers at. Luke rammed his iron-coated foot into the dead soldier's rib cage, knocking him off the ramp like a limp rag doll. "Serves them right," He grunted to himself. All sense of dread was pushed aside when he noticed Alvios making his way towards him. With a smile, he threw his gauntlets off, kicked his boots into a nearby pile of bodies, and opened his arms to grab his friend by the shoulders. "Ahaha, you know know me-" But as he leaned forward to embrace his friend, almost tripping over the body of a Diver, the serious tone in Alvios' voice froze him in place. Betrayal? Luke's eyebrows tensed up something fierce. "Tinon sent you out? Where? Why? What the fuck was he-" Luke stopped himself despite flailing his body around like an angered savage. With a heavy breath, he turned back towards Alvios and nodded begrudgingly. The last thing he wanted to do was [i]talk things over[/i] with anyone. Luke preferred the rationale of his fellow Divers, he was just about ready to charge Arcadia head-first regardless of how idiotic that principal was. "Fine, yea-" Just then, a single Diver rushed over to him and Alvios, spewing nonsense about tagging along with the two friends, at complete random. Luke turned to look at him for the briefest of moments, not giving the [i]tiniest of a fuck[/i] about his inquiry. He turned back to Alvios with profound confusion painted across his face. "Alvios, who the [i]fuck [/i]is that?"
