[center][color=beaccb]Somewhere within the eternal war and battle lines of the Nexus, on a contested Machina border.[/color][/center]

[color=beaccb]"A common lament."[/color] Alexi noted as Wolf spoke of man vs gods. [color=beaccb]"Even the gods here seem to share that cry."[/color]

 As her own swordsmanship was questioned, Alexi tilted. [color=beaccb]"Truly? We are uncertain. We thought we were very good with the blade, but then we died when we came to the Nexus. I alone seem to have come back from death, but still, we were unable to avoid it."[/color] Alexi had died once, and never defeated an opponent. If Alexi had known how the Nexus worked and how only champions of their respective factions were revived, she would have been quite confused that she had been revived. But she didn't, so it was simply a mystery accepted calmly like all the other mysteries of the nexus.

[color=beaccb]"We are not certain I have fought anyone sword to sword since we came here. We clashed against the blade of the Ravenous Flame, but, that was simply a test of strength and speed and magic played out through the blade. We were found wanting with a single strike, and did not have any power left to contest her in skill."[/color] Alexi explained her previous defeat.

[color=beaccb]"If one of you wishes to test the strength of the Knights of Winter, we would be glad to accommodate. Though, by our reckoning, I would be helpless as a babe before the Anti-Magic of Wolf, as our strength and speed rely on magic, or the toxins of Bone Sword. You may have to restrain your power to my level if you wish to see my skill."[/color] Alexi rose from her seat, and raised her sword.

[color=ffd700]"By the way... I wouldn't be so hasty to make that claim of 'Queen of the Lizards' if I were you. You know very well who the top reptilian is. If there's anyone that can contest these words of your it's her."[/color] Zyata's eyes, narrowed, as she concentrated. That.. didn't sound quite right.

[color=e6e6e6]"Hang on... I'm pretty sure she said 'Saurians'. And Miss Eclipse Princess is a Snake. I don't remember snakes being part of Saurians. Are you sure?”[/color] Zyata pulled out a smart phone from among her gear, long since disconnected from Machina networks, though Eos could probably still spy on it if she really cared what Zyata happened to be doing with the slightest sliver of effort. Zyata pulled up a few years out of data encyclopedia program. It was somewhat relaxing to have something to distract herself from... Focus! She interrupted the errant train of thought.

[color=e6e6e6]"Yeah, snakes aren't saurians. Different clades entirely. Wonder what a clade means. I'll check that later. Sure, they're both reptiles, though..”[/color] Zyata probably shouldn't have tried to 'correct' someone when she herself required the assistance of a smartphone to reference, especially when that someone was a Vassal. But as stated before, mouth shuting was not among Zyata's skills. [color=e6e6e6]"Snakes aren't lizards either, even if that was what she claimed.”[/color]
