The weather seems so lovely, though to exist this building I will need you to go into spiritual form so we may avoid unwanted eyes..."[/i] My love? There was a pause from Berserker as he heard those words. Only now did it become more clear than ever the truth of the matter. His beloved had been bewitched, and that bewitchment had made her fear his love. But who had cast it? A saracen? RINDALDO!? Already the idea of one of those options attempting to keep her from him was... It was driving him to anger! Already his hands tightened into fists, and he seemed ready to tear either of his enemies apart. It was only Angelica that kept him there. A walk in the park? But he had to be spiritual? [color=00a99d]"But if I am not seen with you, how will the Saracens know you are protected!?"[/color] He gritted his teeth, as if the idea of not being seen with his beloved was torture. [color=00a99d]"If they got close to you, if they tried to take you from me, I'd kill them on the spot!"[/color] He took a step closer, that giant with his eyes glowing that beautiful hue. [color=00a99d]"I'll kill TH[b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/b]!!"[/color] His ranting turned to a roar, mouth open wide as an unearthly howl echoed out. Subtle he was not. But as that howl began to build, he stopped. No howling! No freaking out! If he did, he might hurt Angelica! He held his sword, and became focused. Insane but focused. [color=00a99d]"I will protect you!"[/color] His breathing was heavy, despite his form beginning to crackle. His form fading a bit more. His rage still pulsing. A desire to protect. To love. But for now... He was easing the burden of maintaining his form just a bit longer. After all, he would not burden his beloved Angelica. ______________________________________________________________________________________ [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/9h8Qy6S.png[/img] [u][b]Location / Bois de Boulogne[/b][/u] [@GreenGoat][/center] Tensions were high. Could Hanzo pull off a brilliant strategy? Could the well organized ninja manage to outwit the powerful samurai!? FIND OUT RIGHT NOW! From her shrine, it was nearly impossible to keep track of everything that was being relayed. A fight that seemed to last only five seconds, but possessed all the complexity of a fight that may have been hours long normally. [color=00aeef]"You did wonderful."[/color] That was the only message required. In fact... She was thankful Hanzo hadn't killed the other master. Maybe it was a lack of bloodlust, or perhaps... Just being happy that she wasn't having to deal with that yet. Hopefully... Maybe the other master was dead. But she didn't know that. She was so... Conflicted on this. She wanted to win the war, but she wasn't sure she wanted to kill anybody. Perhaps if they ever ran into that duo again... They could chat and eat good food. [color=00aeef]"Hanzo, I've decided to meet up with you at the special place we talked about earlier."[/color] She thought, adjusted her gown, and opening the little box of donations. Making sure she was ready, she stepped out of the shrine. [color=00aeef]"Take care of the shrine, Tomokun!"[/color] She said, waving to the lone student who had agreed to come with her on such a dangerous mission. She was already sprinting away before he could tell her to get back there and help sweep up leaves. An assassin, one who had been waiting by the shrine, was already swept up to run alongside her... Soon... [b]Business District...[/b] Her goal? Ice cream with her servant. Thankfully the ice cream parlors were still open.
