Markus sat quietly for a while and then looked over to Castitas, "I hope you can forgive me one day." Then his eyes went to the hound, rage filled him, "Don't you mock my strength," He slowly stood up, his eyes turned a demonic red hue, "It could be detrimental to your health." He started to laugh maniacally as he walk up to the bridge again. Markus stood inches from the bridge staring straight into the Minotaur's eyes, an evil grin spreading across his face.
Markus' heart sunk as he saw tears fall from the priestesses eyes. He noticed her starting to panic and placed a hand on her shoulder, he didn't know if it would help, but he had to do something to calm her down. "Let's just think this through. It hasn't attacked us yet so obviously it doesn't have any interest in us at the moment." The knight placed his bag of supplies on the ground and placed a hand on his sheathed weapons handle. Markus exhaled a shaky breath as he inched towards the bridge, stopping a few feet from it. The Minotaur shot a look at the knight with an unhappy expression, but did not advance toward him. Markus gripped his swords handle tightly, making sure to be ready to defend himself. The closer he got to the bridge, the more hostile the Minotaur became. As soon as his foot touched the bridge, the creature charged full force into the knight, throwing him all the way back to where the other two were. After that the Minotaur simply turned around and walked back to it's "Guard post" on the opposite side of the bridge. "Well, he doesn't seem to want us to pass." Markus winced in pain as he coughed up a small amount of blood.
Markus chuckled weakly, "That's not what this is about." He sighed looking at the priestess and slowly pulling his hand away from hers, "This can't happen... You and I can never happen. You're a priestess.... and I'm just a no good knight." As they approached a bridge, Markus felt uneasy. He scanned the area knowing there was someone.... or something, was out there. That's when the knight noticed a figure on the other side of the bridge. The figure was not human, well at least not all human, he knew it looked familiar, like something he read as a young kid. That's when his eyes widened, "A Minotaur?" He couldn't believe it. It was even more worry some when the knight remembered that they were not in the strange world anymore, "They..... they're coming to our world..." Markus watched the Minotaur, but it didn't seem to be doing anything... Almost as if it was just guarding the bridge.
Markus couldn't help, but smile slightly at the sound of Castitas giggling. He tried to keep his expression as emotionless as possible, but it was hard when she was being so cute. He saw the hound peaking over it's shoulder with a smirk, he didn't like the look of it. He shot a stare at the creature to remind it of the promise he made if the hound tried anything funny. Markus never trusted that thing and was always ready at a moments notice to attack it. He looked onward as they continued to walk, what were they going to do when they go to this Umbra? How were they going to take the Orb from her? A slight feeling of fear rose inside of him, but tried his best to suppress it for it would only serve as a hindrance to him.
Markus looked at the hound, "Well we aren't getting any closer by talking now are we?" He had a heavily sarcastic tone as he spoke. The knight was glad Castitas didn't insist on finding out what was wrong with him, he was lucky that she was focused on the orb. Markus wanted to hurry and get this over with, he didn't really care if Umbra lived or not, he just wanted to leave all this behind him. Granted he wouldn't have anywhere to go, but currently he felt that it would still be better than being here. He looked toward the sky, sighing slightly and whispering to himself, "Why can't I just have a normal, non stressful, and quiet day?" He silently cured the Gods for putting him in this situation.
Markus quietly stood and picked up the bag that held his supplies, he ignored her question and asked his own, "What's the plan now?" He didn't make eye contact with Castitas, using his surrounding as a way to keep is gaze from her. He knew he was being a bit cold, but it was the only he knew to do when he wanted to hide his feelings.
Markus finished cleaning his armor when the hound asked him about last night. "What do you think?" The knights face expressionless as well as his words. He did not show any sign of anger or sadness... He showed nothing. He was still trying to forget about last night, knowing it was a means to an end. He stood up and walked to the campsite, putting away his armor and getting some supplies ready. After he was done, he noticed the necklace he bought the day before laid discarded on the ground. Markus grabbed it, looked at it for a bit, and then turned, throwing it into the creek. As he waited for Castitas to be ready he sat against a tree and watched the sky.
Markus slowly awakened and sat up. When he noticed that Castitas was gone he was about to search for her, but stopped himself sighing slightly. He knew what happened last night was never going to happen again. She was a priestess... He ran a hand across his face as he sat in silence thinking to himself. The knight noticed his armor, still covered in blood from yesterday. He got up, picked up the armor and headed to the creek to wash it. He saw Castitas and his eyes fell to the floor, letting out a silent sigh. He also noticed the hound from before, but did not care much for saying anything. He crouched at the water and began washing his armor.
You can do what ever you want to
Markus stared into Castitas' eyes, he gave a small smile. It seemed the feelings were not one sided after all, which made the knights heartbeat heighten. He placed a hand on the priestesses cheek and leaned in kissing her once more. His other arm was wrapped around her torso, holding her closely. Markus' insides felt like they were on fire, he had never felt this way before and he never thought that a priestess would make him feel this way. In this moment, all the world and it's problems started to fade. Nothing mattered at that moment besides the two of them.
