[b][color=D3943B]Time:[/color][/b] Morning
[b][color=E0C114]Location:[/color][/b] Gaurav Village
[b][color=D3943B]Interactions:[/color][/b] Menzai [@samreaper], Cyrus [@Helo], Ophelia [@princess] and Viola [13org]
[b][color=E0C114]Equipment:[/color][/b] 2 shot glasses, 1036 Amas total, Flowers from Phia, Dante’s cellphone, and Dante’s knife[hr]

Darius had given Cyrus and Viola a quick nod when they answered him before turning back to the towering Ulyses. He had fought guys who were slightly larger than him but Ulyses completely dwarfed them. Even then, it wasn’t an excuse to back down, just an excuse to be considerably on edge. The canine demihuman didn’t just boast size, he held his ax firmly in hand with his years of martial prowess to back up each swing he could take. [color=D3943B][i]He wouldn’t attack us though, right? He wouldn’t.[/i][/color] Darius was attempting to keep himself cool under the pressure when Phia spoke out against Ulyses next, taking a stand beside him. Shooting her a glance, he felt ever more confident in his place. 

[color=D3943B]“Yeah, just chill. I don’t understand how a large eagle? Hawk? Or whatever-the- hell-you-call-that couldn’t have just wanted to have a bite out of us,”[/color] he said, not understanding Ulyses’ position in the argument. However, Darius found that he and Phia weren’t going to deter the giant as he stated he would take the two into his custody until the situation was hashed out with the council.  


All the while, Dante woke feeling sick beyond anything, his body felt as if it were tearing itself apart, barely awake he could hear voices around him but couldn’t make out who or how many. Dante finally looked up towards one of the demi-humans that was tending to him. [color=E0C114]“Where is my brother? Where is Darius?”[/color] He said as panic rose inside, only worsening the feeling of the mana drain Dante put himself in. He pushed himself up attempting to sit up so he could at least take a look at his surroundings. [color=E0C114]“What happened to the giant bird?”[/color] A flood of questions rushed to his head. As far as he knew, they were fighting it and then everything went black. [color=ed1c24]“Your brother is safe, and the roc is dead. Do not worry, just relax. You have used too much energy and exerting yourself now will only lead to more problems.”[/color] The wolf Demi-human said trying to calm and ease Dante’s mind. Dante couldn’t hold himself back he had to get up. 

Though Darius had noticed and slightly made out the exchange going on between Dante and the Gauravan, he had bigger things to worry about. Ulyses marched forward while at the same time, Cyrus extended a hand while voicing a compromise. And if it wasn’t bad enough, thorny vines had momentarily broken through the surface of the small stretch of ground in front of Ulyses, tempted to strike if the situation became worse. Trapped between nigh personifications of war and peace, Darius shifted his left foot back, taking a sturdier stance.

Dante was now lurching forward to get up from his knees, pushing against the demi-humans trying to get him to lay down [color=E0C114]“No, I am getting up!”[/color] He demanded despite being in tremendous pain he got on his knees and slowly lifted himself onto his feet. He stood there in shock at the dead roc, crushed, covered in dirt, and drained of blood. He didn’t understand what killed it but he was thankful it was over. It was then Dante turned to see Darius standing a bit away. Relief washed over him that his brother was safe and unharmed. Almost forgetting his pain, he stumbled his way over to Darius putting a hand on his shoulder. [color=E0C114]“What’s goin’ on bro?”[/color] His voice was labored but he had to maintain some normalcy in the situation despite not comprehending all that was occurring. 

Darius flinched toward Dante, looking as if he was going to hit him if he hadn’t quickly recognized him.

[color=D3943B]“What… What the fuck are you doing?! Go lay your ass back down!”[/color] Though Darius was yelling, he was doing so in concern as Dante seemed out of it. 

[color=92278f]“That..is enough.”[/color] Menzai's strained voice sounded.
