[center][h1][color=red]Yasha[/color][/h1][/center] What was happening down there was... terrible and gruesome... Senna, lost in her own bloodlust, was simply slaughtering civilians without any regard. From where Yasha was, and because she was using the target acquiring spell, she had a privileged view of the bloodbath. Every movement Senna made, Yasha could see clearly... Moving like a blood drenched beast, she cut through innocent bystanders without any difficulty or remorse, the noise of her halberd cutting and tearing flesh only accompanied by screams of agony, fear and her unsettling laughter. She couldn't help but feel deeply disturbed by that sight... Even when Senna called her name, even the brief hint that showed that the true Senna was still there, somewhere inside that raging demon, her scream sounded much more like a feral growl than other thing... Yasha didn't know what she should do next. Was that really correct? Senna was obviously in a state where she clearly wasn't herself. She couldn't control her actions. Even though... She had spilled innocent blood... Too much innocent blood already. Should Yasha eliminate her? After all, it was her duty as a Blade of the Darkmoon... Senna had sinned, that much was an undeniable truth. She had to pay for her sins, and the punishment for those sins, was usually death... Many questions popped up on her head. Yasha wished she could have a bit of time to think about that moral conflict on her mind, but sadly, time wasn't something she had on abundance... Every second, Senna slaughtered even more innocent civilians... Something should be done quickly... She should make a decision right now. [color=bc8dbf]"IF YOU'RE GOING TO ATTACK, DON'T HALF ASS IT, HAHA! AND WHAT ABOUT YOU, SELENA?! PLAYING BIG SISTER AGAIN?! COME OUT AND FIGHT OR I'LL TURN THIS PLACE INTO A GHOST TOWN!"[/color] Yasha heard Senna's screams, interrupting her thoughts and bringing her attention back to the current situation. [color=red][I]"I hope this works..."[/I][/color] Yasha thought to herself, preparing her rifle. This time, it wasn't a single beam, but a fragmentation shell. She would fire a volley of 5 fragmentation shells, setting them to explode in an area above the general location where Senna was. Yasha never faced a situation where she couldn't kill her target, so it was very tricky for her, since all her spells are pretty much lethal. Instead of tweaking her shots to be destructive, she instead opted for them to be disruptive. The fragmentation shells were imbued with holy energy, and upon exploding, they would create a very dense shower of thin, needle like beams of pure holy energy. It was a particularly cruel spell against creatures that were weak to the holy element. Not strong enough to kill, but the beams would be painful enough to make them wish for death. Originally, Yasha used that type of settings on her shells when she needed an disruptive, area denial spell. Maybe she could drive Senna away from the most populated areas with those shots... [color=red]"I'm sorry, Senna."[/color] She whispered as she fired down towards the city. It was indeed a terrifying sight... If anyone looked up, they would see the shells cutting the sky, leaving behind streaks of pure mana... But despite its terrifying appearance, pure holy energy should be completely harmless to normal humans, so she wasn't afraid of hitting innocent bystanders. Those looking at that scene though would probably think what would happen if Yasha had used other thing than holy energy... [color=red]"Senna! Stop this nonsense. I don't want to use lethal force against you."[/color] Yasha yelled to Senna, letting herself be seen behind the big holes her shots made on the clouds. [color=ed1c24]"You have drenched your hands with innocent blood. Look at yourself, are you proud of what you have become? Can you call yourself even human anymore? That is... if there is still some part of the human you used to be inside you..."[/color] Yasha yelled again, with a very serious and intimidating voice. One thing that Yasha hoped Senna wouldn't realize, was that she couldn't use stronger attacks if she didn't want to cause collateral damage. If Yasha used anything stronger than the fragmentation shells she just used, it would be very probable that she would kill many innocent people, due to the sheer power of her attacks. [@Rune_Alchemist] [@Hammerman] [@BurningDaisies] [hr] [center][h1][color=green]Nyna[/color][/h1][/center] Ikebode's answer to her question fascinated her. So the Katze Plains were always a battleground... It was understandable that it turned out to be what it is today... After so many years of being drenched with blood, bones and flesh. Maybe the plains became something like a traditional place for battles? That would explain why it was used so many times... Anyways, Nyna couldn't even imagine how it was before being a dead land. Aside from the ruins, there isn't many clues about the past on the dead, misty terrain of the Katze Plains. Nyna wasn't able to hide her surprise when she saw Spooky's reaction to what Ikebode said, visibly flinching when he slammed his blade near Ikebode. Nyna herself didn't know how it was being an undead, but Ikebode was literally treating Spooky like he was an specimen of some sorts... That surely would be irritating, so she could understand a bit his reaction. She only didn't thought he would be so... fierce like that... So the moment Ikebode started talking about how magnificent Spooky was, treating him like an specimen once more, she visibly started making signals for him to stop, although he didn't seem to have noticed her, instead being focused on Spooky's massive blade, which he had slammed just nearby the poor man. "In any event, I am sure you both wish for shelter so let me show you inside." Ikebode said, after a while. As Nyna followed him inside the tower, it became quite clear that he was indeed researching about the undead, just by the amount of research notes, vials, even some undead insects and other weird things on the shelves. The place wasn't that clean or luxurious, but it was way better than just sleeping outside with the undead... [color=green]"Mr. Ikebode... Don't you get... lonely being out here by yourself? I mean, I can see that you really love what you do by the way you talk, but even though... the Katze Plains are distant from... everything, right?"[/color] Nyna asked, looking around as she walked around the place, curious. Did he even get out of the plains to get food or something? How was he able to sleep without being afraid of being attacked? Especially if he was alone? Those and many more questions popped on her head as she looked at him, waiting for an answer. [color=green]"Oh! I just remembered one thing! Spooky, do you still need to sleep? I mean, now that you are an undead, I don't think you really need to eat, sleep and do other things like that, right? If that is the case, then it would really been much more easier for you to pass through the plains by yourself."[/color] Nyna said, without even realizing that she spoke way too much.
