[center][h3][color=a2d39c]Miyu, [s]Traitor Angel[/s] Honorless Blade[/color][/h3][/center]
[center][h3][color=a2d39c]Previously, why Miyu's spirit got crushed:[/color][/h3][/center]

[color=a2d39c]"Um! Hello, Iona, may I have a moment of your time?"[/color]

[color=daa520]"Yes, what can I do for you?"[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"I've been picking out gifts for everyone, and I don't know a lot of the higher ranking people very well, so I wanted to run what I've been thinking about by you, specifically for Deva, Juno, and Ananta. I got Juno this snake kigurumi. It's green sadly, but when the light shines off the scales right it's got a purplish tint, so there's that."[/color] Miyu held it up and tried to get the light to shine off it correctly before putting it away. [color=a2d39c]"For Ananta, I was thinking an electric rock. Well, boulder more in her case. I'm just guessing she would like that on account of being fairly snake. For Deva, I was thinking about a wing grooming kit, but then I realized that I'm not sure those wings I see in the pictures of her are actually hers, or attached to her body, and   they definitely don't have feathers on them. I'm not sure why I thought that was a good idea in the first place."[/color] 

[color=daa520]"The World's Serpent is not the most exigent of being, you probably would be best served by giving her something she can eat, but other than that anything might do; it's not like she will teleport you to the void for talking to her. Ananta is a little more complex, but to my understanding any gift you give her with a sincere intent will be well received; she has been the caretaker on many an infant, if you care for something more specific. In doubt, I think you can bring her something edible as well. As for the Imperator, probably icons of adoration, I think the best on could be anointed oils, for her feet which are quite special for her. If there's anything you may wish, don't hesitate to make it known, please."[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"So, erm, Iona, I've been planning to send out invitations to my Birthday Party along with the gifts, but I've been having trouble coming up with a location that would suit all the maybe potential guests. I wanted a beach with catering that's neutral, and all the results I've found so far are either glaringly dangerous, or not neutral. One person I talked to told me about a nice place on their home plane that would work, but I don't exactly know how inter-dimensional travel works."[/color]


[color=daa520]"If you mean to leave the Nexus,"[/color] Iona replied without breaking her meditation or turning to face Miyu, since she already knew who had come in her sanctum, [color=daa520]"I must say you cannot. Not without the power of a being like Juno, the Eel of the Machina, or I. Much less invite your foes for a party unless you are willing to trust to go to their own territory. My mission is to keep those who are in the Nexus from escaping without permission. Asking me for means, or help, to do that is paradoxical in and of itself. The Nexus is a world of war, endless and boundless, such is how it was created. To ask for unity is to stand against the very purpose to why this world was built for. I'll not do anything to stop you from pursuing your cause, but neither will I offer my help since it violates my role and oath to my Lord. If that helps, I wish you luck in your task."[/color] Was all that the dark archangel would say before going back to her vigil.

Miyu paused for a moment. Not in a sort of "waiting patiently, taking a breath before continuing" but the "Sorry, Nexus Browser has an encountered an error and must restart" sort of way.

[color=a2d39c]"Let me get this straight. We're not allowed to leave without permission, implying we're imprisoned or else not generally free. Final victory is also theoretically and not just practically impossible, because this world was created for endless war, and such a victory would end that. I need to go drink a lot, maybe before my next long term memory write. Later, thanks for the assistance."[/color] Miyu seemed demoralized. And in a hurry to leave. And go drink, but she said that bit.

[color=a2d39c]"So, what's with the big hullabaloo about her saying she's gonna twist our loyalties with dark secrets? I mean, it isn't much of a secret that you're intentionally jerking us around with an eternal war. Iona just flat out told me. It wouldn't bother me at all at this point to learn that the secret of the Nexus was that it was all just a game by you, Deva, to strengthen up some warriors to then eat the souls of. Of course, I don't think any of us have gotten stronger in any significant ways except by your blessings, so that doesn't really make sense. My money's on it being some higher being's game of amusement."[/color] Miyu showed up to Deva's audience chambers. At least she wasn't drinking this time, which was a slight improvement, instead she appeared to be.. eating soup in a bowl made of bread. After pausing to take a bite, she continued.

[color=a2d39c]"I mean, are the details at all interesting? I might go along to hear, but it's not like I'm worth a damn in a fight. If anyone's gonna prove the worth of lower class beings, it's going to be someone with skill, power, a blessing of a higher class being, and spirit, of which I only ever had one and I gave it back because I'm the worst person to give it to."[/color]
