As soon as they gave their condolences, they would continue their trek back to the guild hall victorious. She had to admit, that battle - despite how brief and nearly insignificant - felt good in her alternate form. If only she can challenge other creatures of her stature, or those even stronger, will she feel more alive than she ever had prior to her slumber. [hr] [center][b][color=00aeef][h3][u]Guild Hall[/u][/h3][/color][/b][/center] Upon arriving back at the guild, Titanica hadn't done anything more than bask in the sun to regain some of her wasted energy. After she would sluggishly approach the dining table and devour an entire turkey whole, ending it with a loud burp as a wisp of atomic fire emanated from her maw. It was a good turkey too - full of juicy, well-cooked meat, topped in a variety of unique spices. She would then walk by Neil and Talia before Ditzy asked the three if they wanted to play tag with her. Titanica looked at the hobgoblin before scoffing. [b][color=00aeef]"I do not play such childish games..."[/color][/b] she replied coldly. While she did play tag with her brethren all those centuries ago, she had outgrown such games just a few years before the Great Dying occurred. Perhaps it was best that she did so then - for it would be a shame if she had to correlate such memories with the immediate apocalypse. It was a thought she doesn't want to remember for longer than she likes. But then she heard a disturbance coming from the middle of the hall. She cocked her head towards the voices as her tone became even colder. He heard two voices - one belonging to Neil and the other towards Guild-Master Bart. And from what she heard, the latter was incredibly pissed off about something. "[color=f26522][i]Are you guys deaf?! Do you all want to die?![/i][/color]" This definitely caught the attention of Titanica. Even from the limited interaction she had from speaking with him, she knew something wasn't quite right. A screw seemed loose within him. She glared at the situation unfolding with mild-contempt. "[color=f26522][i]You're not the master of this guild, Neil![/i][/color]" "[color=f26522][i]I am! I AM! NOT YOU! ME![/i][/color]" A flare of anger rippled through her veins upon hearing this haughty response. She had a vile distaste for humans ever since she first laid eyes on a task-force of knights - the so called successors and superiors over monster kind. While she later recognized that not all people are so arrogant, this was something she cannot simply ignore. Not just for herself personally, but for all of monster-kind in general. Because if there were any humans that earn her vile abhorrence towards to, Bart seems to fit this perfectly. Had he been keeping this side of him hidden from the rest of the guild? "[color=f26522][i][i]I'm the guild master! That means you follow my orders and my rules! If you got a problem with that! You can take a f***ing hike and go back singing at f***ing bars![/i][/i][/color]" The other members attempted to defuse the situation by telling him to stop, but it seemed that even with their help it will be rendered futile. Titanica feared that they would worsen the situation even more the more they attempted to come to Neil's aid. There was only one way that she knew how to disperse this vile toxicity. And with her enraged adrenaline surging into her spines, it was the ONLY way in her eyes to set things right. With a deep breath, she inhaled all the air that she could before unleashing it in a thunderous roar. [url=https://youtu.be/pXQzsl_iVB0?t=4m23s][color=00aeef][b]"ENOUGH!"[/b][/color][/url] Her bellowing call would resonate throughout the entire guild hall, demanding everyone's attention, - let alone the nearby vicinity around the guildhall. Even the birds outside were alarmed at this disturbance as they flew away from that terrifying noise. To the members involved, this roar wasn't unlike any of her previous ones. This one sounded tarnished, ugly even, one that would inherit a being of utter anger and hatred. And if they were to look to where a glowing hulk of a monster stood, they would see a different Titanica. Titanica's body was morphed into a psuedo-second form. This wasn't her titan form, but it could neither be considered a human form either. The titan's skin had turned a more darker-grey, mixing with her caucasian skin, with scaly bumps predominantly emitting from her arms, legs, and belly. Her spines were wildly sparking in blue energy and her eyes were also engulfed in this atomic blue. With an [url=https://youtu.be/pXQzsl_iVB0?t]ominous[/url] groan, her cross-bone scowl fixates over to Bart as she slowly stomps towards him, ignoring everyone else within the vicinity. [color=00aeef][b]"IS THIS HOW YOU TRULY TREAT YOUR OWN SUBJECTS, GUILD-MASTER?"[/b][/color] she booms as her voices trembles through the entire building, [color=00aeef][b]"DO YOU VIEW YOUR POWER EQUIVALENT TOWARDS ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY?"[/b][/color] Her aura began to shift wildly, as if she's on the verge of annihilating the entire guildhall with her presence alone. Perhaps it would be best for the rest of the guild mates to stand down and let her through. [color=00aeef][b]"I COULD'VE LET YOUR PRECIOUS GUILD BE ROBBED IF I HAD NOT CARED AS MUCH, BUT I CHOSE TO ACT REGARDLESS FOR IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO."[/b][/color] she continues with her slow strides, [color=00aeef][b]"I HAVE NOT JOINED THIS GUILD TO BECOME SUBJUGATED BY A CORRUPTED LEADER - LET ALONE BY AN ARROGANT, [i]INSIGNIFICANT[/i], HUMAN. I'VE JOINED ONLY TO PAY A DEBT THROUGH RESPECT - AND THAT ALONE - EXPECTING EQUAL TREATMENT WHILE I DO SO. AND I'VE EXPECTED THE SAME TREATMENT FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED."[/b][/color] She was now upon him as she looked down with immense hatred steaming from her eyes. Without hesitation she reached out one of her muscular arms to grasp Bart's collar, lifting him up with that arm alone as she forced him to look into her flaming eyes. [color=00aeef][b]"YOU MAY COMMAND STRUCTURAL AUTHORITY OVER YOUR GUILD."[/b][/color] she growled whilst barring her fuming teeth, [color=00aeef][b]"BUT KNOW THAT YOU COMMAND SUBJECTS, WHOSE ABILITIES FAR SURPASS YOUR OWN. AND ONE, IF NOT OTHERS, WHO VIEWS YOUR KIND WITH RIGHTFUL DISDAIN. SO TREAT THESE SUBJECTS WITH RESPECT, UNLESS YOU STRIVE FOR RUIN. AND KNOW THAT I WILL NOT HESITATE TO VAPORIZE YOU AND THIS ENTIRE GUILDHALL IF YOU SPEAK UNFONDLY TO ANY OF US AGAIN."[/b][/color] She draws her subject closer as her venomous eyes glares into his soul. [color=00aeef][b]"DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!"[/b][/color] the titan booms as she raises her voice. And while she resonated on behalf of the guild-citizens, little did she know of a certain figure that was peering from the guildhall entrance. [b][color=f7941d][i]"T-Titanica?"[/i][/color][/b] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/NUtcWs1.png[/img] [@ShwiggityShwah] | [@PaulHaynek] [/center] [hr] Morgan and her allies were able to make it up into the tree, just out of reach of the war dogs. The hounds clawed at the tree, yet fortunately they couldn't climb. They would circle only for awhile before finally giving up and leaving the area. The mercenary knight gave them the money, as well as a notice to Nephele the wyvern, before he left the area, leaving the mothwoman and the harpy alone. The latter half heartedly announced that they were finally finished, in which Morgan simply nodded. [b][color=f7941d]"I suggest we head back to the guild."[/color][/b] she replied and soon they would head back home. [hr] Yet Morgan wouldn't immediately come back to the guildhall. Upon flying over a meadow, the mothwoman saw a gardener who was selling a variety of different herbs and medicinal plants. She told Ozzy to continue flying to the guild and that she'll be here for awhile before returning. And after half-an-hour of buying and looking at the different plants, she left with a simple paper bag of medicinal herbs. They would be useful in making new medicines and potions for the guild to use in times of need. Yet as she landed some distance away from the guildhall, she heard a loud roar emit from the building. She paused for a minute as she analyzed the sound. She knew this roar. And judging from what the others had mentioned, it was clear that she was finally present in the building! Yet the roar sounded as if something bad was happening. Morgan feared the worse that could potentially transpire, as she ran towards the guild in a hurry. As she approached the entrance, she could hear a deep, feminine voice resonate through her antennae. And when she peeked over the frame of the wrecked door, she finally saw her. After separated for thousands of years, she had finally laid witnessed to her old friend. But her form was different, something unlike anything she had seen from the titan before. Morgan was hesitant to intervene, but she was able to muster up the courage to make her presence known. [b][color=f7941d]"T-Titanica?"[/color][/b] she peeped, just loud enough for her to hear...
