*The Chroma nods at what she first said.* "I do not think this sort of ritual is required for me or the kind that I have become. You've witnessed this, and you, and her (*one of the shapes whispers the word 'hopefully'.*) will live to speak of it..." *Then he observes her showing the mark's center. He tilts his head, then she speaks.* "...Unless you perceive that sort of legend to spoil your own? So it's merely a matter of time before she recovers, yes?" *The list disappears. The Chroma straightens up, yet retains his position.* "Presuming this duel is over, I and my limbs wait. What is your opinion, despite the unrequired outcome of one exhausting their reservoir of energies, of our prowess?" *While he waits for a reply, he flips the sword so the tip faces skyward, and stares at the glowing energy that is channeled through it, as if listening to a voice.* [spoiler] "Yes, my mentor, their formidable performance is over, or so it seems. Is there something you require?" *Kol's voice emits from the sword, but sounds illegible.* "No, I have not managed to acquire my educational catalyst to enable me to learn what they are teaching; I am still out here, waiting for these two to recover before I proceed. What else?" *Kol's voice again emits a response.* "I am always sheltered by my limbs and my greater [HULL]. You need not worry." *Kol's voice replies yet again. Sounding specific this time* "Your Surrogate is my exemplary shell, mentor. It grew into my shape and now I am... ...What do you mean by that?" *The voice of Kol emits one last thing, and this word is clear.* "Balance. Any foe deserves an opportunity. Humanity and the Kal'eon back [HOME] were evenly matched, and thus they spared eachother from death. It was not my doing, Chroma of myself." False [/spoiler] *The blade's energy dims. The Chroma looks back up at Leyla and asks, with curiosity; his limbs seem to be humming a tune suiting to the situation, like incidental music.* "I am curious; is your friend -what I heard as 'sister'- sufficiently living? We mean, will she be fine?"

"This mark is what every female in my clan gets when she comes of age soon i will have to get the same mark on my skin as well wether i want to or not. If i dont i will get banish from my clan. It has little do with legends" *leyla sits next to her sister. She looks at her with a worried look on her face. Then she looks at you.* " have to send a message my clans healer as soon possible to get aid for her they will be able heal her that means i have to call echo.." *she grabs a silver whistle that hangs from her neck and blows it. Off in the distance a cry of a bird is heard. The flapping of huge wings is heard getting closer. Then a very strange red bird the size of a bobcat that has two heads lands close to leyla then it hops closer to her.* "Hello echo my pretty bird i have a message to send to the chief its important." *leyla i pull out a piece and hastily writes out a message in mer and ties it to echo's leg* "Make haste and fly fast she needs aid" *echo turns and takes off leaving a couple red feathers on the ground. Leyla watches echo quickly disappear into the distance* "Echo will be back in couple hours he's really fast for a bird." "Just so you know that a lot of my kind doesn't like outsiders and they judge you harshly but i that you my favor seeing how im the chief daughter in all they will not argue. Now just so you know will see them fix her mark and i will probably have to get mine as well cause i told my father what her mark is doing to her. So there a good chance he will send original person that performed it" *after a while you hear a cry of a bird then you see echo returning and there is a message tied to his legs. He lands and hops closer. Leyla untie it and read the message* "They be here soon...

*The Chroma tilts his head, a little confused after hearing all that.* "So your clan would want me to be punished for this, or did I interpret that falsely? You and her were the initiators of this combat, and you mentioned of no rules. So we did not follow any, except [i]the Mantle that Kol has adorned upon my shoulders."[/i] *The Chroma's stature changes, standing tall with his blade down to one side. The strange sentient whispers still echo from his pelt, and the 'limbs' he has waiting above.*

"No i will be because i told my father that i was my fualt the her mark isn't working at all. That was part of the message sent and the other was this..." *she read the message her father sent out old cause its in mer...* "Daughter prepare to be punished for causing all this mischief..and you will be mark after the fix you sisters mark you have no right to refuse if you do you know what will happen...i will be coming here too -father" "Thats my dad a ruthless tyrant of a chief

"You put her before yourself in hopes that this clan of yours would fix her 'mark'?" *The Chroma's bodily expression changes to a combat-ready stance as he listens to the written message. Afterwards, the Chroma then looked at his free hand, then looked back.* "Parents do not govern children when said children have grown in knowledge to the point of understanding what they wish to do. This violates one's freedom; a thing my mentor often does not approve on." *Chroma gestures a shape with his free hand; a shield. The 'limbs' in the sky seem to remain in place, for now. Chroma itself then looks back at you, Leyla.* "Elaborate on this 'punishment' if possible. If your father fails to show you the respect you, his daughter, deserve... ...His actions will have consequences if that's so. Surely the one who is second to the leader is treated as an equal? Or is he the kind of person whom does not care?" *With that last sentence, Chroma swung his sword at a holographic crown, destroying it, to emphasise his point.* "Those who rule and do not show compassion for their people do not deserve the crown upon their head. During my time I have taught many this lesson, whether it was by action or word is not of my concern." *The Chroma then returns to his less combative stance, but he doesn't look around, as if his 'limbs' are seeing to that for him.*

"Well im not sure what punishment he has in store for but i glady take it to protect my sister. " *leyla looks at her sister* "She always protects me from his wrath whenever i got in trouble so i will return the favor and he just has temper but i will endure im not scared of him.
