Vesta turned suddenly as she felt someone approaching. She had just managed to start tracing Aleph's movements so this new movement of someone much heavier was quite obvious to her. Raising her arm, the tendrils which had been raining down stopped just as Malakus let loose his demand.
"Stop this right now!" He roared at the two combatants. All Vesta could do was raise an eyebrow towards the newcomer. Just who did he think he was, giving commands to a Celestia?
This man sure had guts to walk straight through her spell like that, and judging by the armour he was clearly a knight. A knight of considerable strength considering he didn't seem hurt at all. His presence also seemed to be one that radiated strength.
"Very well! It has become clear to me that fate desires this battle to be postponed! I am confident that such a spectacular fight must be delayed until all of the pieces are in place. A strong foe deserves a much better stage, after all. Until then, Aleph, the Hero, shall make his leave!" With that Aleph now turned and leapt away quite spectacularly. Vesta would give him credit where credit was due, he sure knew how to make a damn hasty and pretty interesting retreat.
With her opponent now gone however, Vesta reasoned she didn't really have much of a choice here now. After all, she wasn't listening to his command she was simply doing what must be done since her opponent was gone. At least that's what she told herself.
Lowering her arm now, the tendrils now sank back into the earth to replace what had been taken and the ring of earth around of them soon followed suit. Soon enough all the damage from the fight on the road had seemed to vanish and if anything the road seemed to be in better condition than when she had started fighting. However such a task was rather draining, so she made a mental note not to get in any more fights lest she suffer a humiliating defeat.
"And may I inquire as to who you are sir knight? It takes a man of considerable courage to come between a Celestia and their foe. Let alone try and order one around. But where are my manners, before asking your name I should give my own first. Forgive me I always forget to do so." Vesta flicked back the earring which contained her family crest as she talked, her tone while being harsh still carried an undertone of respect to it. She couldn't help but respect the knight thus far, and she needed to satisfy the curiosity which was building within her as to who this knight was.
"My name is Vesta Celestia, heir to the Celestia family. Surely a knight knows of us? Please tell me you do because no one I've spoken to today seems to." She carried a dignified tone for the first half of what she said, but it quickly fell away to one of annoyance, disappointment and confusion with a heavy sigh to end it all. If this knight didn't know her family name, she was done. She would just walk away and be done with this whole situation and just go home. Avery would come back sooner or later.
She gave a short bow soon after, now simply awaiting the knight's response. Although a knight would perhaps be helpful in finding Avery? Well the more set of eyes and ears she had the better, plus she might be able to circulate the news around and perhaps another knight has seen the troublesome trap?
Though she still had an inkling he was at the tavern, it never hurt to have backup plans though.
