[i][u]The Death of a God[/u][/i]
"[b]WITNESS ME, DOJO! FOR I AM YOUR RECKONING!!"[/b]
[i]The Nameless King's deep voice boomed from the heavens as the God himself slammed down from the sky, electricity coursing from his muscles as he rose from the crater he had caused as he landed. His Dragonscale armor had been shined, his 11'4 foot long swordspear coursing with bright yellow lighting. The golden crown he wore stood out among the strands of ash protruding from his headdress, the gold gleaming brightly in the sunlight.
He would destroy the Dojo. It was time to end this.
Once and for all.
Of course...he had to consider her.
What if she was coming? What if...what if she could stop him?
No. That wouldn't happen. It would be impossible.
He was the son of GWYN. A GOD. He was unstoppable. He was immortal.
The King roared as he began his approach, each step he took shaking the barren dirt beneath him.[/i]
[spoiler]Open.
Yes, the King dies.
No, he will not die to you.
He will die to someone rather...special.[/spoiler]

"I, uh...no, that's not necessary." [i]Something was off about Anri. She turned away, cleaning off the end of her coiled lance.[/i]

Edited by Skatch142: 9/12/2016 2:00:36 AM"Nonsense! We haven't seen each other in such a long time!" *Sketch pulls her helmet off before she can react.*
-
"DAMNIT, NO!!" [i]Anri immediately turned away from Sketch, the lance in her hand suddenly becoming a fragment of a coiled sword as she covered her face with both hands childishly, although the back of her head could still be seen. Her dirty blonde hair was a mess, covering her ears and all. The armor she wore covered the back of her neck, odd enough. Something was wrong. Evident by the fact that Anri had began sprinting away from Sketch, of all people, still covering her face.[/i]
-
Edited by Skatch142: 9/12/2016 2:06:39 AM"Hey! What's wrong?! Come back!" *Sketch quickly catches up to her and tackles her, moving her hands out of the way so he can see her face.*
-
[i]Anri's face was...well...disturbing. Her once smooth, tan skin was rough and weathered, skin beginning to literally rot. Her eyes had turned a murky, colorless shade, yet in the center were two slight emerald pupils, though they were faint. Anri pushed Sketch off, curling up in a ball as she suddenly lowered her head.[/i] "I-I'm a H-Hollow...a-a monster..."
-
"A-Anri... You're not a monster..." *Sketch's mood has suddenly changed from happy to upset and concerned with a hint of fear.* "How did this h-happen? Tell me."
-
"I...A-After we left...Yuria took me and...trained me...m-made me this way...I had to kill people...[i]innocents[/i]...just so I could stay sane... T-Then she made me take the First F-Flame and..." [i]Anri went silent, quietly sobbing in her hands.[/i]
-
"She... She did this to you??? I... I...... I......... I'm going to kill her... Anri, I'm not one for revenge but that slimy w#%&$ is going to die. And it's going to be painful. But is there any way we can fix this? You talked about staying sane... Is... Is your mind going too?"
-
"M-Murder is an option, but...I hate killing people...it r-requires me to take their souls, too... I...I don't know...there's another path, but..." [i]Anri went silent, still crying.[/i]
-
"And I'm sure you don't like killing, especially after what you've through. But if deserves it, it's Yuria. She did this to you and I am not going to let her live for it. But what's the other path?"
-
"The o-other path? There's...this thing. Called the Throne of Want. It can cure hollowing. Forever. O-Or we could get a Fire Keeper soul. T-Then I might be able to cure it... I don't know, really..."
-
"What do we have to do for either of those?"
-
"Throne of Want is...complicated. As for the soul...probably murder. Or we'd just have to locate one."
-
"Might it work with Yuria?"
-
"She's not a Firekeeper...so no. B-But we can use her humanity still... Look, I...I don't want to kill Yuria...I don't want anyone to die. I'd rather suffer like this instead of having someone be killed. Even if that's Yuria..." [i]Anri slowly rose up, wiping tears off of her ragged face as she sighed heavily.[/i]
-
"Anri... She took your sanity and made you like this... People like her make me sick and I don't want you to suffer. You don't deserve to suffer."
-
"It's fine, Sketch...I'll just have to hope that I don't get killed anytime soon, because if I do..." [i]Anri shakes at the thought of going fully Hollow, sighing heavily.[/i]
-
Edited by Skatch142: 9/12/2016 5:13:19 PM"No, I won't let that happen. Even if I have to follow you around to protect you until Yuria gets here. And I'll kill her for you if that makes it any better. When all this is over, you won't have to kill anyone ever again."
-
"S-Sketch...I don't want anyone to die...even Yuria doesn't need to die. I'll be fine...I promise." [i]Anri sighed once again, shaking her head as she looked up at the orange sky.[/i]
-
Edited by Skatch142: 9/12/2016 8:55:11 PM"Anri, you can't stay like this. It upsets me to see you like this and if you die......... Leaving Serenity and Leyla to die was one thing. But doing something this horrible to you, making you kill innocents. She doesn't deserve to be spared... She needs to die, not just to save you but as justice for the people she forced you to kill." *He puts his hand on her shoulder, both trying to comfort her but letting her know that he won't take no for an answer either.* "I'm not forcing you to kill her. But she is going to die whether it saves you or not."
-
"I..." [i]Anri sighed, brushing some hair out of her rather soulless looking eyes.[/i] "A-Alright...alright..."
-
"Okay... Is there anything else you want or need to talk about? That can't be all that's happened."
-
"W-Well...I'm now the Lord of Hollows, which is sorta like a monarch in Londor... And the sword, I pulled it from the First Flame...it's okay, I guess."
-
"Lord of Hollows? Is-Is that good? It can't be considering you are currently a hollow."
-
"Hollows just...look up to me, from what I've seen. As if I'm some sort of hero..."
