They were an odd group to begin with, so hearing the details of each member was troubling. It was like a bad joke. A human, dead prince, fashion designer, and a… His eyes shifted toward Aiko for a moment. They had not divulged anything about themselves, and had gotten this far? He didn't know whether or not to be impressed or insulted. The general did lean towards the latter with his slight scowl giving it away. First, it was Xavier who stepped forward. The young man appeared as lost as he was confident, which made for an interesting sight. [color=darkgray][i]If you waste my time…[/i][/color] His eyes were locked on him, like a predator that had chosen its prey. Then the wisps of electricity danced across his hands. The calm before the storm. The electricity began to crackle violently before shooting out into the carpet on either side of him. Xavier had looked up at him but Augus’ eyes lingered on the two holes burned through the carpet. He would have been more excited if the human hadn’t destroyed his furniture with a smile on his face. Orias stepping forward when he did helped him stop staring at the eyesores on the carpet that his wife would ask a thousand questions about. Having so many of his Sky Guard present within his home had been one of the most difficult negotiations he’d ever dealt with. Where Xavier used action, Orias’s proof was in his words. He admitted to facts he hadn’t even been privy to, but the explanation did allow the general to see the bigger picture. There were still some questions about how his other two allies aided him, and there was no tangible evidence. Still, Orias’ humility was not something that could be easily performed. And there was the case of the human. The fourth member of their company had commented like that of a bard or muse but his personal cast sphere had begun to broadcast something. A demon, the rare and foreign race within Avalia, brutally executed a human in the presence of Malthemoor soldiers. If anyone thought Augus looked angry before, the man was downright furious now. As the broadcast ended, Augus slammed his fist into his desk. [color=darkgray]“Do you think I do not realize this?[/color] He shot back at Aiko. [color=darkgray]“The only kingdom that has agreed to aid the Sun Elf Kingdom is Ironhold. The rest are either weak or foolish. Allowing [i]this[/i] to happen.”[/color] Augus finally stood up from his seat and moved around his table to face his guests without a table between them. [color=darkgray]“I already harbored a disgust for the lesser elves and orcs, but now we must deal with something just as vile that was never meant to exist here in the first place. We will not leave our enemies' lives in the hands of the cold and wilderness this time. I’ll purge them from this world myself if I must.”[/color] If he weren’t indoors he might have spit at the ground. [color=darkgray]“Prince Orias Biren, as you claim to be. I will help you… but there are a few things I will make clear.”[/color] he stepped to Orias. [color=darkgray]“No more lies…”[/color] His eyes darted to Aiko [color=darkgray]“...or secrets.”[/color] His eyes returned to Orias’. [color=darkgray]“And we Avian City do not need praise for our actions. We’ve always had a higher calling compared to the rest of you terrestrials, for flight is in our nature. Lastly, what destination do you have in mind, [i]prince[/i]?”[/color] Augus had always scoffed at such titles, finding them archaic. [/color]
