[center] [h1][color=03FCDA]Amara bint Mahmud ibn Hāshim Seif [/color][/h1] [h3] Large Clearing, Fuyuki Park, Fuyuki City [/h3] [hr] [/center] [color=03FCDA]“...”[/color] Demon. Yeah, that was all she really needed. He wasn’t even a bit startled when she essentially teleported behind him. Magi were used to the unnatural, they lived in it after all. They were a testament to the supernatural that lurked behind the world. However, even magi had limits on what they could normally accept. What Amara had done would violate most magus logic, yet, this man was fine. Of course, it meant that his common sense was even more alien than that of your average magus. To put it bluntly, to Amara, it meant that he was surely part Incubus. Incubi were demons which preyed upon the sexual energy released by humans, normally through intercourse, though the manipulation of dreams was possible. In the Arabic world, specific kinds of mischievous Djinn took up the mantle traditionally given to the Incubus. Obviously, this man before her, a descendent of Merlin, wouldn’t have any connection to the Arab world. However, it is worth noting because, in the end, no matter where one is from… Incubi are demons which prey on people. Incubi were things incompatible with the world Amara envisioned...but this person was still a man, right? He was only partially a demon, so that meant there was still humanity left in him. Well, whatever humanity magi had left in them. Just because they were part abomination didn’t mean they would be a problem for innocent people. Alternatively, Inversion Impulses existed. However, it was possible that she was merely reading too much into things. Of course, this mindset was shot down the moment she realized that the man saw through the disguise Caster gave her. If anything, seeing through this cemented him as definitely someone that was part demon and dangerous. She wanted to ask Caster, but she was a bit preoccupied playing with the Saber. [color=03FCDA]“I see…”[/color] It took a few moments, but Amara decided on what she needed to do. [color=03FCDA]“Goodbye.”[/color] And it was that she was unsure, so she would escape for now, regroup with Caster, and talk it over with her! So, as fast as Amara appeared, she darted away from the conflict, into some nearby trees away from the fight. That fight was scary. [hr] [hr] [hr] [center] [h1][color=FBC417]Nebuchadnezzar II [/color][/h1] [h3] Homurahara Courtyard(Banquet of Kings), Academy, Fuyuki City [/h3] [/center] [hr] … Oh, he wasn’t dead. This was good. Seeing that the javelins were now gone, Nebuchadnezzar freed his master. He had heard her mumble a bit, something about lacking air, but he had to make sure she was safe first. AJavelin to the head will kill you quicker than the momentary lack of oxygen after all. It seemed like the focus of the banquet shifted over to the attacked, which was correct. The mark of a barbarian was a complete disregard civility. Going by what the musical man had said, it was Altera(?) the Hun! Clearly, the good man meant Attila. It must have just been a more regional variant of the name. Either way, Attila was the target of this hunt. Unfortunately, even with the speed boost, there was little Rider could do to actively chase her down. He couldn’t run at his full speed with his Master. Her body would absolutely be destroyed if he actively tried to chase down a fleeing Servant with her. Rider could, in theory, just leave her here, but he didn’t trust the host of this banquet. Ah, but Xerxes’ new challenge needed his response, didn’t it? If he didn’t respond, then he would forfeit his ideal of kingship. This presented a dilemma. Nebuchadnezzar had to protect his master, but he also had to prove that his way of being king was the ultimate path. There seemed to be no way to do both. Of course, as the Greatest of Kings, Nebuchadnezzar already had the answer. With a smirk, he glanced over to the Greek. [color=FBC417]“Theseus, King of Athens, Slayer of the Minotaur, Son of Posiedon, and a whole list of other titles. Few have legacy as great as you, but I guess that is proper for one of Greece’s greatest heroes.”[/color] Even Rider’s resume wasn’t as impressive in comparison, though he made up for it in other ways. Rider was king of an entire empire, Theseus was a king of a city. Of course, the size of one’s kingdom didn’t matter, instead, what mattered was how one ruled their kingdom. In that regard, Theseus was still a much greater king than the rest at the party. When it came to this hunt, Theseus would have to serve as his proxy. Theseus cherished the same ideals as him, so if he killed Attila, then it was like Nebuchadnezzar had won in the end, right? [color=FBC417]“A king who saved the lives of his people while still a prince, but one who never truly found respite.[/color] It was tragic, but was that not the story of all Greeks? Even if Nebuchadnezzar was Babylonian, “Greek Tragedy” was common knowledge gifted by the grail. Despite being in the top three heroes of Greece, Theseus likely had the saddest tale of them all. His story was up there with Oedipus, Cadmus, and Agamemnon. Yet, despite that, he tried his best for his people. Yeah, Theseus would do. [color=FBC417]“Slay that brute and show why our path is true!!”[/color]
