[spoiler]Open to all.[/spoiler][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/229906346/0/0/1]Christina[/url] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/229899486/0/0/1][b][u]Lumen Solis, 0134 hours[/u][/b][/url] It was pouring all over in Lumen Solis, but it was raining especially hard in Noctis, the slums of Ollimand's capital. Dense rainclouds obscured the night sky, as rain constantly pelted the pavement and buildings built on top of said pavement. One would think it stupid to enter the slums on a night like this, but that was exactly what the girl was doing. She wore rather light clothing, a smooth, thin white cloth shirt that wrapped around her entire body and trousers to go along with the top. A white scarf was worn around her neck, covering over half her face. Everything about her was drenched in rainwater; her long, snow white hair, her scarf, her clothing. She didn't appear to be armed as she roamed through the streets of Noctis, until she came across a very wounded man. The girl knelt down beside him, examining the wound. She debating simply leaving him and pretending she never saw it, but... it would be so easy. The girl sighed, however the sound was muffled by her scarf. She raised her left hand, gently placing her palm against the man's abdominal area. Worn over her glove were three pieces of jewelry; two rings, one with a sapphire and one with a ruby, and one bracelet, with emeralds decorating it. [i]"O' Falldor, great god of healing, may life not part from this man,"[/i] The girl would whisper–it was a prayer. [i]"Allow him to live to see another day. Show him your kindness and your love, and let the evil that is death not claim him today. And may Ria watch over us all."[/i] And just like that, an aura slowly surrounded the girl's left hand. The aura was a green light, and looked to be slowly being absorbed into the man. A few moments later, his eyes would open, and he would gasp, looking down at his abdomen. Where there was once a deep stab wound, there was now nothing but a scar. The girl would look down at the man, eyebrows furrowed, with worry seek in her eyes. The man looked up, breathing calming down, before he finally spoke to the girl. "I know who did this," He said. "Somebody who's had a grudge on me for a long time. He lives here, in the slums... I was passing through her when he found and stabbed me." He looked up to the girl, fear and pleading in his expression. "You look capable. Please, I beg of you... my family will not be safe until I'm sure that this person will attack us no longer." The girl slowly stood, unsure what to think. Falldor would demand that she help this man and his family, but... what was he to her? She didn't see any reason to help, and was about the shake her head when the man's hands shuffled through his pockets. "H-here, I'll pay you. 200 credits," He gave the girl a handful of coins from his wallet that had miraculously not been stolen. "That's 75. I'll repay the remaining 125 if you bring me proof of his death. I'll be here." He gestured towards the empty alleyway. The girl gazed passively at the man; she was no mercenary, but she would do what she had to to earn money. With a small sigh, she nodded slowly. The man sighed with relief, sitting down in the alleyway. He gave the girl directions to where the man lived, and she merely nodded, walking away from the alleyway. She would eventually arrive at a dilapidated apartment building. The window of the highest floor was broken. The girl slowly began climbing and, when arriving just below the broken window, she lifted her top slightly to pull out a long dagger, at least 18 inches in length, its 13 inch blade slightly curved. The girl raised her left hand to her chest, silently whispering another prayer. Slowly, her body would fade away from visibility, until she was entirely invisible. Now, she would roll into the dilapidated building, soundless and invisible. She would quickly search the room, eventually finding the target looking at his phone. She soundlessly crept up behind him, first taking a peak at the phone's screen. What she saw would make her jaw drop in utter silence. After a moment of paralyzation, she aligned her dagger with the man's throat, before pressing the metal against his throat and slitting it before he could scream. From there, he simply hacked at sawed at his neck until he had torn the man's head from his shoulders. The girl gazed at the phone screen with contempt, before raising her dagger and jamming the tip of her blade into the screen, breaking it and causing it to die. She then stowed the dagger in her shirt once more, holding the head as she left the apartment and returned to the alleyway. She and the man exchanged goods; a head for 125 credits. The girl sighed, turning away and continuing to walk through the slums aimlessly, hoping that nobody had seen the transaction–people likely would've, though. --------------------------[spoiler]Open to Ero.[/spoiler][b][u][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/229899486/0/0/1]Lumen Solis[/url], same time[/u][/b] Rain was pouring on the City of Lights, but that didn't stop Lux's livelihood. The tourist district was booming with activity, as usual. This time, there was a festival going on, celebrating who knows what–reasons for celebrations have long been forgotten. They could've been celebrating the invention of the Electric Cheese Grater for all anybody knew. High above the festivities, there was a boy sitting atop the roof of a skyscraper. Rain soaked his blond hair and drenched his skin and clothes, while his icy blue eyes simply wandered, taking in the scenery of the beautiful capital of Ollimand. His drenched clothing consisted of a white t-shirt and black sweatpants, while his feet wore no shoes or socks. He simply sat at the edge of the roof, feet dangling over the edge. He might've been waiting for something to happen, or simply admiring the view. Either way, he was itching for movement.

  • Christina placed her elbows on the counter, locking her hands together and placing her chin on them, deep in thought. She had lived a rather dull life for a while now, ever since that night. As she gazed at Athena, Christina simply hoped that 'anything' leaned more towards fighting or things magic related than other possibilities–like prostitution. After maybe a minute of silence, Christina sighed, looked down at the counter, forehead on her hands. "Alright. I'll accept."

  • Athena didn't seemed phased, as she pulled a small item from her pocket, and set it down, then gestured to it. Picking it up, there was a button, upon which opened its center. A line was down the middle, making two sections. A thorn lay on the top edge of the medallion. It was clear what it was, a blood pact, sealing their deal until the girl fulfilled her end, whenever Athena needed her.

  • "This seems like some sketchy shit," The girl replied as she placed her palm on the thorn. "I'm guessing I just... cut myself?" She did so, allowing the blood to drip onto one side of the device.

  • She pointed then at the white pad, the two sections, and made a pressing motion with her finger.

  • "Okaaaay?" She gently placed her over so slightly bloodied hand on one of the two sections of the pad.

  • Once she did, and pulled it away, Athena took it again and sealed it. Once she pocketed it, she looked back to the girl, and signed a few things. [i]Blood contract. Don't cross it, or else I will take back everything I give you.[/i] At that, she pulled out her phone, and typed a few things, and then wrote on the paper again. Then she handed it over. [b]X___________ Sign your name, date, and birth. Take it to a bank, and show them this, and they will let you access it. 85k to start you off.[/b] She still held her phone in hand, most likely needing it to setup the girl's account.

  • "A... bank?" After signing something as sketchy as a blood contract, a check seemed horribly... vanilla. But 85k was irresistible, and so Christina would quickly sign it with a pen which was rather low on ink. "Thanks," She said gratefully. The first thing she'd likely do is get a cheap phone to keep in contact in case anything were to happen.

  • [i]More will come in time. Don't waste this gift.[/I] She took a picture of the info, then turned to type it all into her phone. After a bit she turned back around. [i]Give it a day, then go check your account.[/i] At that, the woman left the building, closing the door quietly behind her, and leaving the girl alone.

  • As she left the slum, she was followed by a rather odd indivudual. He was geared in robes, with some slight armor. His helmet had little to no armor at all. He held an old carbine, and on his back was a pump action shotgun. Hovering over his shoulder was a polygonal robot with a blue eye. It watched the woman along with the man, both unsure of what to do.

  • The girl, despite being all alone in the slums late at night, was a cautious one; she often turned her head over her shoulder to look behind her back, and while doing this, would see the man. She wasn't sure of what do, so she simply made sure her daggers and prayers were all ready in case she was attacked as she rounded a corner.

  • He readied his carbine, and cleared his throat "turn around." Came a hoarse voice.

  • The girl was already around the corner before the man had spoken, and as such, she did turn around–the man would not see this move, though. She spoke a prayer, the same one she had used to turn invisible, as her body faded from visibility. Even the displacement of rain was not caused, as it appeared as though the rainwater fell straight through the area she had once stood. The invisibility also hid her body temperature and masked her sound entirely, just in case the man had devices that could pick that kind of stuff up. Either way, the girl clearly knew to be cautious in the location she was at.

  • Yet, he was a warlock. He instrinsicly was tuned to magic. He knew where she was once he rounded the corner. "I know you're there!" He said, running towards her. He just wanted to know what the hell was going on, but she had to make it difficult. The precautions were due to her shady transaction.

  • If the man knew exactly where she was regardless of what her own abilities did, and combined with the fact that he had a gun loaded and ready and that he was yelling 'I know you're there!', the girl only saw more reason to get the hell out of there. She began sprinting away, her footsteps made completely silent and her body still completely invisible. She would turn into a nearby alleyway, which she knew for a fact would lead to the next street over, and continued to run. She was headed towards Lux, the most populated district and also safest in Lumen Solis. Still invisible, although that happens to be irrelevant.

  • He kept up pace, summoning the standard issue sparrow all guardians have, and he started bearing down on her. He began to honk the horn "Show yourself! I just want to talk!"

  • [i]Below, amidst all the festivities, the crowd began to part at the edge, making way for someone who walked in the middle of the street. Ike could not make him out clearly, only catching, glimpses, reflections of golden light amidst the people far below him. The throng of humanity began to cry out solemnly, the languages blurring together into lauds of shame and praise. The figure came closer, the golden light off of its armor growing still brighter. Clearly, though, it was a man, as its tall broad figure hinted towards. The man gave no heed to the crowd, some of whom fell to their knees. Others followed, still more stood in place, holding their arms out to him from within the crowd. Those to whom he mattered not, found their way to the outskirts of the festival, ignoring him. Clearly, he was a man of some amount of importance, or else a figure of such grace as to demand witness.[/i]

  • Even from the distance he was at, the boy's eyes were sharp. He could see the crowd parting for one man, and it interested him greatly. He debated going down via elevator, but decided that that would take too long. His next decision he thought was almost suicidal. The boy simply slid himself off the roof, pointing his index finger straight at the ground as his body whistled through the atmosphere. Eventually his body would reach terminal velocity, and he kept falling. When he was about a hundred feet from the ground, he whispered something, almost like a prayer–a simple word. "Flux," was what he said, and a small, golf ball sized orb would form in front of his finger. The orb had an inky, dark purple texture, combined with a purple electricity crackling around it. It gave off a dark aura, one that might repulse the weak-willed. As he neared closer to the ground, he released his control on the orb. A miniature explosion was caused, not harming anybody in the crowd but launching the boy upwards before he could strike the ground. It stopped his momentum, and allowed him to simply fall into the crowd, no harm done. He groaned as he stood after tumbling from people to the ground, standing and searching for the man that looked like a king.

  • [i]The man had reached the market area of the festival, and was traveling from vendor to vendor. From each he received some tribute, which he would then repay with a few gold coins. The man would then lightly lay his hand on their head for a moment, before moving on to the next one. The King showed no attention to anyone outside of himself and the vendors, despite the adoring crowds and the peculiar incident of the boy's fall.[/i]

  • The boy's head had many thoughts going through it, but most prominent was that the man didn't look to be one who abuses his power. He paid the vendors instead of stole from them, and whatever the hand-on-head thing was... it looked to be a sign of goodwill. It wasn't everyday he met somebody who was both revered and respected so greatly. The boy took to weaving through the crowds, perhaps to see what the king would do, or perhaps searching for a way to catch his attention.

    [i]The King had moved to the end of the Market Area, and stood eating a kebab of meat and vegetables while he watched a procession of performers passed, nodding his head as he chewed. The people of the celebration had continued to focus on him, something he'd evidently not desired. Turning to the crowd, he waved his hand once, indicating silence, which the crowd obeyed to with scarily amounts of speed.[/i] "[b]Good people,[/b]" [i]the King spoke, his voice one of regal, absolute, and yet warm authority. [/i] "[b]this is a festival. I may be your King, but this is your celebration! Enjoy it for what it is![/b]" [i]The crowd cheered at this, and began to celebrate, reveling in the party of the city.[/i]

  • The boy's thoughts were only confirmed as the King spoke to the masses. After the crowds returned to their celebrations, the boy would weave through them, sprinting up to the king, a question on the tip of his tongue that he simply [i]had[/i] to have answered. "Who are you!?" The boy would call out once he was within earshot of the king. He would have to constantly be weaving through person after person just to be near the king.

  • [i]The King turned at the boys call, his ruby eyes regarding the lad with curiosity. Lifting his free hand, he made slight waving motions, indicating for the crowd to part slightly. They did so, leaving the lad standing there before the King. Alone. To which the Golden man smiled cheekily, his eyes squinting closed and his pearly whites flashing brightly. The smile regulated itself, his eyes open and his cheeks relaxing, yet still retaining the expression of genuine happiness.[/i] "[b]I am Gilgalad, the Lord King of the Universe. You probably did not know it, and I do not blame you. I've been gone to long, and most of my subjects have forgotten me. They will remember, though. Soon enough.[/b]" [i]A chuckle escaped his lips at that.[/i]

  • "Lord King of the...." The boy shook his head. Many people at the place where he used to live liked to deem themselves the lord of the universe or some kind of god - he learned to ignore them. He looked at Gilgalad curiously, wondering if his claim had any fruit - after all, people obeyed his claim, and he seemed kind. "What makes you different form the rest of them?" The boy asked, tilting his head to the side slightly. "The other kings and queens, gods and goddesses. The ones that never end up doing anything useful."

  • "[b]Well, firstly, I kill them. They repress the people and sunder the chances of society to attain anything more than what it has. Secondly, I protect my citizens with the fury and authority I have earned.[/b]" [i]The King smiled kindly at the boys inquisition.[/i]

  • Ike was a bit skeptical - in truth, any ruler, true or fake, would say something like that. But from what few moments Ike had spoken to the king, for what short time he had observed Gilgalad, the boy knew that it was certainly possible. That the Golden King was more true and real than the others. All Ike would need was for a situation to arise in which Gilgalad could prove his claim. And, coincidentally, he felt as though he himself would work as one such situation. "Okay, last question. Let's say there was a person who has... mistakenly, done horrible things. Taboo things, like consuming other people's flesh mindlessly. This person is viewed by others as a demonic abomination, somebody that many wish to purge from existence." He barely managed to force the words out of his mouth, but he understood the truth. He tried to remain indifferent as he spoke. "If you found that this person felt guilty about what they've done, and wanted to repent in some way... how would you judge them?" Depending on Gilgalad's answer, the boy would either support the king's claim or deny it.
