[i][u]Forgiveness[/u][/i]
[u][i]The Gates to the Dojo, 6:30 PM[/i][/u]
[i]The warm winds rushed throughout the Dojo and it's tall, magnificent buildings and walls as the massive orange sun in the sky began to make its descent, eventually about to set and no longer cover the land in it's brilliant light. Orange leaves fell from the trees that covered the world already, landing onto the ground silently and shriveling up to a crunchy state. Soon, the crunching of leaves could be heard as something, or perhaps someone, began to make their way towards the gates of the Dojo itself. [/i]
[i]The figure, was, to say the least, a quite interesting looking person.[/i]
[i]The figure walked with a feminine posture, her body slim and tall, standing at a height of five feet and eleven inches. She had bore a pure black fabric dress, while it was decorated with a dark metal that covered her shoulders and chest. Her hands were hidden away by obsidian black gauntlets, her hands simply simply hanging at her sides as she approached. While her dress hid away her legs, the tips of black metal boots could be seen under the fabric as she walked towards the entrance of the famed place of fighting. Her head was hidden away by a decorated steel mask, with several symbols and engravings within the surface of it, while two viper-like slits were present for eyeholes for whoever bore the mask.[/i]
[i]Only two items hung at the black leather belt that the woman had wrapped around her waist. The first was a white and finder fabric talisman, which although it radiated with holy energy, it also had a dark presence to it as well. The second was a black handle to a katana, the grip wrapped around with thin layers of leather. There appeared to be no blade to the weapon, as if it had simply vanished.[/i]
[i]The woman stopped right outside of the gates leading into the Dojo. How would they react? How would she react? It had been thirteen years since she had spoken to some of these people..she expected the worst to occur.[/i]
[i]The woman sighed, before raising a fist and knocking four times upon the wooden gate leading into the Dojo.[/i]
(Open. Perhaps this is the beginning of a plot...Kehahaha!)
English
-
Yuria. Pleasure to meet you. *Behind Yuria, Mortar walks up the dirt path up to her, a small grin under his mask. He's never met her, how does he know her name?
-
"...Mortar. Royal's best friend, I presume? About time that we met." [i]A soft chuckle escaped the mask that Yuria wore, her arms crossed as if she was relaxed. Odd.[/i]
-
Yeah, nice to meet you finally. *He holds out his hand to shake*
-
"Tis is a fine pleasure. I only wish Royal was..here." [i]Although Yuria gripped Mortar's hand firmly, she drooped her head slightly. She seemed depressed.[/i] "...It doesn't matter now. I'll help him. After...After Anri."
-
I understand. Helping a Hollow is really hard, but helping two? *He sighs as he shakes his head* I'll help you. I've been through what you wanted to put Anri through, thus the title "Lord," and I feel as if Royal needs some help from a friendlier face.
-
"Thank you. Thank you.. Recently, I've located Anri to the Dojo. She's returned, although hidden away within the walls as her condition worsens. I guess you would allow me to return to the Dojo as a member?"
-
Well if you were planning on helping Dojo members, it only makes sense.
-
[i]"I intend on assisting the Dojo. Thank you for allowing me to return."[/i]
-
You are welcome. But not everyone will be as grateful for your return, and even I'm a little skittish about it. Just go in, do what you need to do, and if you can't, then, well, you'll know why I earned the title "Lord"
-
[i]"Understandable, Lord of Cinder. Good day."[/i] [b]And just like that, Yuria began to walk into the Dojo, and towards wherever Anri was. Mortar could have follows her...if he wanted to.[/b]
-
*Mortar, unaware to Yuria, silently followed her, dissolving into the ground whenever he thought she noticed him briefly*
-
[b]After some time, Yuria came across the door that lead into Anri's room. But instead of knocking immediately or calling for the Lord of Hollows, she simply reached for the talisman at her side and raised it upwards.[/b] [b]A purple light began to ensue from it, covering the talisman and spreading across the ground and air. Suddenly, Mortar felt himself return to normal. The hex, or whatever Yuria had used, had canceled out all of his abilities. She dud not notice him, however, and simply knocked upon Anri's door. [/b]
-
*He quickly ducks behind cover so Yuria can't see him. He quietly watches Yuria knock on Anri's door*
-
[b]After a moment, Anri then opened the door, her hollowed eyes widening slightly as Yuria murmured something to her. Then, the Sable entered the room, while Anri closed the door.[/b]
-
*Mortar quickly gets out from behind cover and looks through the window, secretly watching*
-
*The gate opens and the head of Vorim pokes out, staring at the woman. He opens his mouth to speak.* [spoiler]Before I go any farther, has Vorim met Yuria? I don't think he has.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]No, he hasn't.[/spoiler] "...Good evening." [i]That was the only thing that Yuria said to the Sphirinian, her voice calm and collected. She expected Sketch to come along and attack her, to be honest. And she was ready for him.[/i]
-
[spoiler]Okay. I just wanted to know whether Vorim should freak out or not.[/spoiler] [u][b]Well, s-same to y-you ma'am... What's your n-name and w-why are you here?[/b][/u] *He didn't make eye contact and the second his gaze would get close to her his eyes would veer off in another direction. It was as if she was a magnet with the wrong pole facing him. He seems to notice something off towards Dojoville and looks a little confused, squinting a little to get a better look before seemingly dismissing it.*
-
"My name is... Why do you keep staring back there?" [i]Yuria was genuinely confused, although part of her was screaming "It's a trap!". She turned cautiously towards wherever Vorim was staring, as she didn't understand why he was staring back there and not at her. Odd.[/i]
-
[u][b]Oh, it's n-nothing. I just th-thought I s-saw something odd in D-Dojoville... What w-was y-your name again?[/b][/u] *He looks down at the ground now, not wanting to worry the strange woman.*
-
"...Yuria...Yuria of Londor. I'm searching for an Anri of Astora? A Hollow? I was her mentor, about thirteen years ago." [i]Yuria was especially worried about this. She expected him to know...he had to know. It wasn't possible that he didn't.[/i] [spoiler]Did Sketch tell Vorim that Yuria made An go Hollow?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Did Sketch tell Vorim?! Of course![/spoiler] *He is silent. His eyes start to glow blue as five 50 caliber bullets drift out of his pocket, surrounded by a blue glow. They hover over his shoulder, pointing straight at her.* [u][b]Are you sure you aren't someone else, because I am going to kill you right this second if you really are the w@&$% who did that to Anri.[/b][/u] *The stuttering is completely gone. She can't see his pupils past the blue glow but it's clear he is staring her straight in the eyes now, practically seeing into her soul.*

Edited by Orn: 10/31/2016 7:44:20 PM[i]Yuria didn't falter, or relatively move at all at the sight of Vorim. In fact, a low chuckle escaped her mask, before she began speaking in an understanding, caring tone. But there was also a tint of sadness to it. As if she regretted what she had done in the distant past.[/i] "...Of course I'm..."the whöre" that made Anri what she is today. A Hollow, withering away slowly but surely. Do you not understand that I wish to fix my mistakes? That I want to see Anri happy once more? If you kill me now, you will set off a chain reaction of events that later on, you will regret. But I expect you to play hero. I expect you to "punish" me for what I have done. And thus...I expect you to try and kill me." [i]At that last line, Yuria slowly reached for the handle of her infamous sword, the blade suddenly appearing as a transparent, ghostly blade. Darkdrift.[/i] "...Well? Do it. Attack. Show no mercy to the scum that begs for forgiveness, that wishes to repair what she has caused. Because I assure you... You will not be capable of helping Anri at all."

Edited by Skatch142: 10/31/2016 9:53:06 PM*You hear a gunshot off in the distance and the feeling of a hot bullet touching the back of your neck, stopped by what you can only assume was Vorim.* [u][b]You need to tell me how you are going to save Anri, without innocents having to die. You also need to explain to me why you made Royal turn into a hollow as well, and why you want him to kill Anri. I have no reason to believe that you aren't going to just walk in here and do something else to ruin someone's life. He has seventy nine bullets left and I can let any one of them kill you.[/b][/u] *He seems completely unfazed by the appearance of the blade. He snarls as something else occurs to him.* [u][b]And shut up about this [i]killing the person searching for forgiveness[/i] bulls#%&. What you've done is unforgivable. Not just what you did to Anri, but what you made her do as well. Don't think I'm going to suddenly jump to your side just because you said you're sorry.[/b][/u]
-
[i]A chuckle escaped Yuria's mouth as she turned towards the bullet on the back of her neck, staring straight at it's shell.[/i] "A: If I told you, you'd kill me anyway. You act as though I haven't been in a situation like this before. Lay down your weapons, call off your sniper, and your Hollow doesn't end up in an even worse state. And when I say that, I mean it. B...I didn't know Royal was going Hollow. When we met, he...he was depressed. Crazed. I didn't know how to react to him. He was so different...I wanted to help him, I could have...but my top priority was Anri. And C? I don't want Royal to kill Anri, you dingbat. Where the hell did you hear that at? Unless...Unless he's gotten to that point in Hollowing...Oh dear Kaathe." [i]Yuria sounded as if she was actually deeply worried about Royal's condition.[/i] "...It doesn't matter now. I'll help him after this, Anri deserves more attention."
