Alura had agreed to teach Niyol what she knew, which she admitted wasn't much, and Niyol had agreed to answer a question of her's seriously. It was a done deal and neither side, especially Niyol, would be able to back out of it. With that, the two of them had went to the Tower of Babel, which was evidently the name of that giant ass tower in town. When they got there, Niyol looked up and let out a slow whistle. "That's a big building." he commented. [break][break] Walking forward towards it, Niyol joked, saying "Pretty convenient- being able to grab a shoddy weapon and die just a few levels down." Which was probably exactly what happened on numerous occasions. Someone got a blade for cheap, and that blade ended up failing them at the worst possible moment. He'd follow Alura to the elevator and then over to a place where they were selling silk in various colors, some with patterns on it. "Yeah, this'll do." he said while looking at shelves upon shelves, and countless spools of silk and other non-metal materials. The ones he had chosen was a large sheet of red and black, with smaller sheets of black, orange, gold, and blue. [break][break] While he was talking with the shop owner and getting ready to pay, his eyes had landed on a hair ornament that looked like a maple leaf. He had requested that, that item be added and proceeded to pay for it. After that, he had a couple hundred valis left, and had informed Alura that he was done with his day's shopping. One hand holding the bag of cloth, the other keeping his reluctant pet held against his chest- Niyol was ready to return to Izanami's house. While walking, Niyol would say "When we get back, I'll get to working on my robes. There's a lot of planning I have to think of, so I'll probably not be out till tomorrow. Would you be okay with meeting me here?"

MONSTER NAME: Essence of Creation MONSTER DROPS: Common - Rainbow Ash, Rare - Black Magic Essence DESCRIPTION: A magical being composed almost entirely of energy surrounding a black crystal, they will try their best to avoid close quarters combat. The monster will attack by summoning elemental beings to attack for it, while it stays back and fires bolts of magic at you. ICON: MONSTER NAME: Destruction Atronach MONSTER DROPS: Common - Rainbow Stone, Rare - White Crystal DESCRIPTION: A magical being composed of metal and stone. This monster has no qualms with getting close to you, and will often times do so in order to release a powerful area effect, or hit you with a metallic fist. ICON: MONSTER NAME: Wolpertinger MONSTER DROPS: Common - Wolpertinger Antler, Rare - Perfect Wolpertinger Corpse DESCRIPTION: Think of a rabbit, now give it the teeth and ferocity of a wolf, the horns of a deer, and the wings of a bird. The Wolpertinger is fast, agile, and relentless. It will attack in packs of 3-7, and is known for setting up traps to ambush its prey. They have no magic, but will attack with their horns and teeth. Oh, and they can fly. ICON: i.imgur.com/WytALNp.jpgMONSTER NAME: Magitaur MONSTER DROPS: Common - Glowing-Black Crystal, Rare - Magitaur Heart DESCRIPTION: Minotaurs are known for having brute strength, but the Magitaur is what you'd get if you took all of that strength and turned it into intelligence. The Magitaur has extremely powerful spells that it'll use to kill you from a distance, with a more modest physique. They can use weapons just the same as their melee cousins, just not as efficiently. ICON: MONSTER NAME: Goliath Tarantula MONSTER DROPS: Common - Spider Leg, Rare - Venom Sac DESCRIPTION: Not your average 'giant spider' from the earlier floors. These guys got big, with the smallest ones being seven feet tall. They attack by firing webbing at their targets, as well as chasing them down or using ambush tactics. Their large size doesn't mean weak venom, getting bit by one of these has been the death of many adventurers. ICON: MONSTER NAME: Skeletaur MONSTER DROPS: Common - Centaur Bonemeal, Rare - Skull DESCRIPTION: The animated bones of a long dead centaur, they're normally accompanied by the one who controls them. They can use any style of combat since centaurs were known for being very versatile. ICON: MONSTER NAME: Lych MONSTER DROPS: Common - Black Ring, Rare - Magic Potion DESCRIPTION: Necromancers who died within the dungeon and were powerful enough to resurrect themselves from the grave find that they no longer possess mortal flesh and bone. These beings thrive off of death, and can cause the black crystals around them and on your person to give birth to new, undead enemies. They can also control the aether, summoning spirits to launch at you like projectiles. ICON: i.imgur.com/pNNpJTO.jpgMONSTER NAME: Skeletal Horde MONSTER DROPS: Common - Broken Sword, Rare - Talking Skull DESCRIPTION: Individually, they won't be much of a challenge. They roam in packs of 10-50 and are a sure sign that a Lych is somewhere in the area. The more of them you find, the stronger the Lych controlling them is, and the closer you are. They attack with their swords, using the same level of training they had in their past lives, and are normally warriors or adventurers who met an unfortunate end in the dungeon. ICON: i.imgur.com/dyb8Ahz.jpgMONSTER NAME: Zombie Champion MONSTER DROPS: Common - Broken Armor, Rare - Glowing Eyeball DESCRIPTION: A recently killed, high level adventurer unfortunate enough to be killed by a Lych, the Zombie Champion cannot be reasoned with. They'll attack you regardless of who or what you are, and know no fear. They normally wear thick armor, made of congealed blood and the bones of the dead, and attack with a mix of melee and elemental magic. ICON: i.imgur.com/Xx4D05B.pngMONSTER NAME: Armored Brute MONSTER DROPS: Common - Brute Fang, Rare - Brute Armor DESCRIPTION: Big, strong, fast, and extremely angry are all words used to describe the Armored Brute. They attack by charging their opponent head-on, ignoring any damage being dealt to them as though it wasn't happening. They aren't the brightest of enemies, but their extremely thick hides and armored bodies make it so they don't need to use finesse when killing you. ICON: i.imgur.com/rCdUrXs.jpgMONSTER NAME: Chimera MONSTER DROPS: Common - Back Spike, Rare - Chimera Head DESCRIPTION: Only being four feet off the ground, nine feet from heads to tail, the Chimera isn't to be trifled with. At range, they can fire red blasts of energy for incredible distances and are highly resistant to magic. They can charge their enemy and take a nasty bite out of them with both of their heads. Best advised to use ranged weapons to avoid evisceration. ICON: i.imgur.com/FkS9CUf.jpgMONSTER NAME: Swamp Lizard MONSTER DROPS: Common - Lizard Tooth, Rare - Lizard Hide DESCRIPTION: 40 feet from head to tail, these slow moving scavengers are actually non-aggressive. They have no interest in killing for food, and will only attack if they were attacked first. They're extremely resistant to all attacks and can charge straight through thick trees, and use their powerful tail to swat you clear across the dungeon floor. ICON: i.imgur.com/YXrGNhC.jpgMONSTER NAME: Wrathvine MONSTER DROPS: Common - Leaf, Rare - Wriggly Vine DESCRIPTION: A creature that blends in perfectly with its forest surroundings, it uses ambush to attack. If ambush fails, the creature will attack with extremely long vines from all directions. Sharp swords can cut the vines and delay the inevitable, fire can completely destroy the creature, and ice is just as effective in killing it. ICON: i.imgur.com/WLca0uX.jpgMONSTER NAME: Earth Wyrm MONSTER DROPS: Common - Scale, Rare - Essence of Earth DESCRIPTION: This creature burrows underground and waits days, weeks, or months for prey to get close for it to appear under and swallow whole. When fighting, they can launch sharp, earth spikes at their foe at rapid speeds to kill them at range. While they're 20 feet or longer from head to tail, only a third of that is above ground at any given time. ICON: i.imgur.com/a80JWHy.jpg
Boss/Mini-Boss MONSTER NAME: Ancestral Bear MONSTER DROPS: Common - Glowing Fur, Rare - Ancestral Horn DESCRIPTION: An absolutely massive bear with absolutely massive antlers, it will summon a variety of dungeon monsters to help it fight, including the undead ones. The bear has a powerful hit and can easily smack a person in half, but its large size makes it have limited mobility. ICON: i.imgur.com/GyXSvd5.jpgMONSTER NAME: Augustus the Bloodthirsty MONSTER DROPS: Common - Curved Horn, Rare - Demon Wings DESCRIPTION: Originally 'Augustus the Brave' when he was an adventurer, the loss of his party had thrown the man into a crazed state where he spent the rest of his days killing anything and everything he could come across in the dungeon. Slowly but surely over the decades, he was turned from a man to a demonic looking beast, no longer able to appreciate life. He uses powerful magic and melee attacks, and can fly in open spaces. He's been seen in places where floor bosses were supposed to be, having killed the boss and taken its place while it regenerates, all for the chance of killing adventurers. ICON: i.imgur.com/OocVee5.jpgMONSTER NAME: Dungeon Wyrm MONSTER DROPS: Common - Wyrm Tooth, Rare - Wyrm Chitin DESCRIPTION: Big, armored, and subterranean- the Dungeon Wyrm is a fearsome creature. Very few adventurers can find them because they spend most of their time moving in the space between floors and walls, completely unnoticed. The largest ones are rumored to be over 300 meters long, and as ancient as the dungeon itself. They attack by waiting for prey, bursting out the ground, and swallowing them in one bite. They can also spit regurgitated rocks and carcasses at their targets, if they need it. ICON: i.imgur.com/6ZSlgvU.pngMONSTER NAME: Greater Wyvern MONSTER DROPS: Common - Wyvern Talon, Rare - Wyvern Hide DESCRIPTION: A very large, dragon-like creature known to inhabit large, open spaces within the dungeon. They're quite rare, and also very powerful. They attack with a mix of elemental magic, as well as by diving down and grabbing people to take them high up and drop them. Their thick hide and powerful muscles allow for very effective melee attacks, if they're unable to fly. ICON: i.imgur.com/kAUFaCC.jpg

So, that was it. Alura had lived the more important half of her life using a weapon to survive because she was orphaned. Well, that would explain why she didn't actually have a hobby... "That's no fun." Niyol commented after Alura told him that she didn't do anything for fun. "Sounds like my old man." Niyol then switched his tone to sound deeper, and contorting his face to scrunch it up like an old man's- clearly making fun of his father's word while saying "The pride of our people comes first, games are for children- Train to find your path, Little Breeze." he then swapped back to his normal voice. "Sometimes, games are the answer. So maybe at some point, you can make having some fun be the goal, yes?" [break][break] They went and crossed into the shitty part of town, which was easily identifiable by... literally everything around him. "Yup. Good to know the line between rich and broke as hell is still wider than the gates of tartaros itself." he sarcastically commented. He began walking while saying "When my people reach the age of adulthood, we set out with a guide to see the world. It's a tradition that lets us understand cultural differences, as well as find our purpose in life. Mine was predetermined, but I still had to go for reasons I didn't understand back then. One of the things I learned was that every city has at least one-" "HEY THERE! CRIMSON PRINCESS!" a man's voice called from an alleyway. While turning to see the source, Niyol said "-gullible con artist." under his breath. [break][break] Niyol approached and changed up his accent from Orarian to a more islander-type one. "Oi, broda. Yu call de pwince's, yeh!?" he exclaimed while approaching the man. He was sitting down at the beginning of the alley with a chopping board that had three porcelain shot glasses on it. "Yeah. The young lass seems like she's got a few coins to toss around. Wanted to see if she'd mind playing a game or two with a lowly street urchin." He shot a cheeky smile at Alura. Niyol immediately replied "De pwince's not plae no games. She 'av too mach g'win on ta plae, reel sad, ah?" Niyol then pulled the spear from his back and got on one knee, looking at the board with a curious expression. He kept Vulpa in his other arm, still looking ticked off, and asked "Wha sotta game dis is, ah? How yu plae dis?" The man looked at Niyol's spear for a moment, nothing the unique design and immaculately polished blade. "It's a game of luck..." he lifted one of the cups to reveal a small pebble was under it. "See, I just move these cups around, and then you point to which one you think the pebble's under. Here, you give it a go." his tone was friendly, and generous sounding. [break][break] He put the one cup down and began rapidly moving his hands around, sliding the cups at a quick pace. When he stopped, Niyol said "Oh-keh, I'ma choo dis one, den." and pointed at the one in the middle. It was a trick, of course the pebble was under it. There was pebbles under all three of the cups- that's how the hustle game worked. Give them one try and make them feel good, make them wanna go again, and then you hammer them. Niyol said "Ey! Da mens I win, yeh?" The man nodded, saying "Yeah. You're pretty lucky, guy. How about we give it a try for real? I'll put up all the valis in this here bag, and you'll put up that spear of yours?" Niyol had grabbed his spear and lifted it, looking at it with an unsure gaze. "Dis 'ere wa giv to meh by de pwince's, ye-no? Meh no wan ta looz, et." He sounded genuinely unsure, as though he wasn't conning a con man. "Aww, come on... You saw it for yourself, you're lucky. A small wager that I'll probably lose is all it is." he replied. Niyol had put the spear down next to his board and said "Well... yeh. Me seem reel loki t'dae. Yu not try no trix, yeh? Reel hones game, ah." and the man said "But of course." and set his bag of coins down on top of the spear. [break][break] From there, the man's hands were moving faster than before, and Niyol almost didn't catch when he flicked his wrists to send the pebble up his sleeve. When that happened, a blue aura took over one of the pebbles and sent it flying back into the shot glass. All three were presented to Niyol and the man had a pretty smug look when it was time to choose. Niyol pointed to the one in the middle again, and the man said "Sorry, pal. Looks like- what the?" he lifted it and saw the pebble, and Niyol grabbed his bag of coins and spear. He then said, in a perfect Orarian accent, "Tell ya what... I'll give back a quarter of these and not expose your little scheme to everyone you've screwed over, and you keep your mouth shut about what just happened. Savvy?" The man realized that he just got, got and was wide eyed, clearly angry, but he agreed to it. Niyol opened the bag and dropped a handful of gold coins on the cutting board, grabbed his spear, said and walked away. [break][break] If Alura scolded Niyol for what he'd just done, Niyol would say "He was gonna try doing the same to you, and he'd done it to countless others before, so I just returned the favor." If Alura had asked about what had just happened, Niyol would say "It's a game that doesn't take much imagination to make, so I figured someone here would try doing it. The game takes advantage of your inner desire to take risks. First, you have something with a small, easily concealed object under it and have someone guess the right one. Could be three cups, five bowls, or twenty urns- it all has the same result. First, you let them win. Then, you get them to make a massive investment and make it so all of those easily concealed objects vanish. In this case, he put the rocks in his sleeve. All I did was use magic to move a rock back and keep track of it- a simple trick when you're not having to focus much." [break][break] Regardless of if either happened, Niyol would say "That guy wasn't too bright, but he did help me with figuring a good nickname for you. Crimson Princess, it's fitting. You're certainly beautiful enough to be one." His tone would be nonchalant, as though giving girls that kind of compliment was a normal, everyday thing. "So, my lady, where would I go to find some cloth? Preferably silk, but cotton's fine, too." [break][break] While walking, Niyol would say "You had mentioned that you helped your dad with his forge. Any chance you could teach me some stuff?" Niyol would then hold up his spear and say "See this? It's not actually a spear. It's a broken weapon, made out of the same metal as these chains. Because of the spell required to make this, the only other person who can repair it is back home." If Alura had asked what kind of spell it was, Niyol would say "Your language doesn't have a proper translation; but, the spell to make this metal binds an especially powerful soul to the steel. Only those with a stronger soul can break it, and only those with a similar soul to the caster can properly work it or tap into its power. My father made it for me- a scythe. He told me that it was the most illogical weapon a man could wield, made for the most illogical son a man could raise. He also said that he was proud to have made both; so, I'm very disinclined to throw it away." Niyol would then put the spear back on his back and stop walking to look Alura in the eyes. "You seem trustworthy, so I'll make you a deal. You teach me to work a forge, and I'll give you ONE straight answer, and maybe some magic training- if it's possible." He then extended his hand to shake her's, signifying a proper deal to be struck. If Alura shook his hand, Niyol would say "Think hard on that question, you only get one."

Alura had told Niyol the spark notes version of how she and Izanami had come together, that being that she was stuck in a shitty situation, made a wish in her heart, and like some sort of magic genie, Izanami was there. She had also mentioned that the goddess had a soft spot for children, to which Niyol looked away while saying "Must be a family trait..." under his breath. If Alura had asked about that comment of his, Niyol would say "We are, but we aren't... It's complicated." [break][break] After a short while of walking, Alura would notice something missing from her group. It wasn't her belongings, no street urchins had made a grab for those, yet... No, she was missing the very person she was there to escort. If she turned around, Alura would find Niyol staring through a glass window with red cheeks. The amount of conflict in his heart was reflected on his face as his eyebrow twitched in frustration. Once she finally came to the window to see what the god of mysteries was so entranced by, she would see it, the ultimate weapon against all enemies... It was something so destructively awesome that only the most powerful of gods could stand against it... A pen full of kittens. [break][break] It only took a few seconds before the door was opened, a soft bell sounding off, and Niyol was calmly walking into the store. "Hey, shopkeep, is it okay if I play with your kittens?" he asked in a completely nonchalant manner, as though it were normal for guys with his figure to request such a thing. The shop keeper said "Uhh... sure." but was surprised to find that Niyol was already in the pen with them, holding one while another was biting his hand with its tiny teef. If Alura had given Niyol any kind of look, he would say "Face it, this is far from the worst thing you can catch a man doing." while continuing to play with the baby cats. [break][break] Ten minutes later, Niyol was still enjoying himself with the kittens. He didn't even know that cats were a thing in this world, but the theory of infinite probability means that it was definitely possible. If Alura had tried reminding Niyol that they were going somewhere, Niyol would stand up and hold a kitten out with both his hands, the small creature letting out a soft mewling sound. "See. She doesn't wanna stop playing either." he would say while shooting a slight pout in Alura's direction. [break][break] Another ten minutes passed where Niyol was playing with the kittens, using the various toys the shop owner had. During this time the owner would pass by Alura and say "Your boyfriend really likes kittens..." in a slightly impressed tone. If Alura commented that she wasn't, the shop keeper would say "Oh. Sorry." and return to his work. Shortly after this, Niyol would get up and say "As much as I'd like to stay longer-" his attention immediately turned to something curled up in a carrying case with black fur and a ballin mane running down its back. "-Hey, what's this thing!?" he immediately exclaimed. The creature lifted its head and looked at him with slightly hateful eyes, ones that expressed how annoyed it was with him. "Hmmm?" the shop owner replied and looked in his direction. "Oh. That grouchy thing. Some rare breed or something from god-knows-where. It don't like any of the other animals, don't like me- don't like no one. Last person to buy it was a collector of sorts, went and returned her two days later." [break][break] The man paused while he got off his stepping stool and, once on the floor, asked "Say, you like animals, right?" to which Niyol nodded with a curious expression. "Well, you want her? That collector guy didn't strike me as a pet owner-type, but you seem okay." Niyol looked at the man with stars in his eyes, with so much glee that the man was ready to defend himself if Niyol tried to kiss him. "YES!" He said immediately, and the man opened the cage. Niyol reached out and grabbed the creature, hissing and flaring its mane up, and held it against his chest. "Now what to name you...?" he pondered with the animal letting out a low growl. "Hmm... Vulpes means Fox... Vulpa!" Niyol announced, like a child that just got a christmas puppy. The creature let its limbs go limp, putting on an even more annoyed expression from just how unimaginative its name was. Now, she was being held on Niyol's arm like a butler's cloth. Niyol began scratching behind its ear while saying in a sweet tone, "Don't worry, Vulpa. I'm sure we'll get along just fine." to which the creature's tail gave a light flicker before it began forcing itself not to show any signs of enjoying the ear rub. If Alura tried to touch it, Vulpa would try to bite her and let out a loud growl. [break][break] After this, Niyol would say "We should probably get going... still got a lot to get done." while making his way towards the exit, trying his best to ignore the other animals in the store. While walking, Niyol would turn around and begin walking backwards to face Alura. "So, whadda you do for fun? Saw you smacking that dummy around, you seem pretty experienced. Been fighting long, or are you just a natural?"

Niyol had said "Thank you, Lady Death. I have some preparations to make, so I'll let Alura know she's been promoted to babysitter on my way out." and walked over to the cart to look at the various things on it. He grabbed a piece of one of the sandwiches and began eating it on his way out, mostly as a way to keep himself grounded, and began heading towards where Alura was. He was following her aura, kind of like a dog using scent, except this was linked to her soul and not her body. When he found her, she was in some room with a bunch of dummies, one of which was getting abused by the person he was looking for. [break][break] "Well, now I'm twice as glad that ya held back on me before." he said in a joking manner. "Iza and I finished havin' our little chat, so I've got some errands to run... You've been assigned to helping me get around, so ya gotta come with me." he said in a fairly nonchalant tone. If Alura had tried to deny it, or asked for details on how that happened, Niyol would say "I'm gonna be joining up with Lady Death for a bit, and since I don't know my way around, you'll be coming with me to make sure I don't get hopelessly lost." If Alura had asked why she was chosen, Niyol would say "You seem reliable, responsible, and I already know you..." a brief pause as Niyol put on a trickster's smile "... and I like getting reactions outta you." Even if Alura hadn't shown any problems with her new task, and Niyol didn't get to tease her a bit, Niyol would turn and head to exit the room, saying "I'll give you some time to get ready. I can find my way to the entrance." [break][break] When Alura had got to the door, Niyol would be waiting there with his 'spear' propped up against the wall. He would be next to it leaning against the wall with his hands out in front him, bouncing a very small, dark blue orb from one hand to another like it were a ball. It was a wisp, a very specific type of spirit that were known for either being playful, helpful, or malicious; and luck was the only thing that determined which one would find you. [break][break] Once Alura had showed up, the wisp would vanish, turning into small particles that faded from reality, and Niyol would get off the wall. "Gonna need to head to the slums first. Izzy was nice enough to give me a place to sleep and free food, as well as a lot of info about this place. I'd feel worse than I already do if I had to ask her for a loan. There's a specific guy in the slums I needa get in touch with." If Alura asked about it, Niyol would tell her "Can't go in the dungeon with these rags. One good slash and I'm dangling in the wind, don't think that's a sight you'd wanna see. I'm gonna talk to this guy and then get some materials for some new clothes." [break][break] Niyol had begun walking out the door and would walk alongside Alura, gently twirling his 'spear' whenever there wasn't someone within slashing distance. "You know... it's kind of funny. My whole life, my people referred to anyone from outside our lands and outsiders. And now I'm here, in a place that's so far from my home that I can never contact them. It's funny because I'm the outsider, now." his tone was more serious, more... lost in thought, than it previously was. Niyol shook his head, getting the thought out his mind and returning to his prior expression which was much more relaxed. "Got no time for that. Got a personal question about you, Alura. Why'd you join up with Iz? Not that she seems like a bad person, I'm just not used to mortals and gods having such... amicable relations. So I was curious about what drove you to her." If Alura had asked about who Niyol had to talk to, seeing as he shouldn't know anyone at all, Niyol would answer "You'll see."

[attr="class","MYNtopimg"] [attr="class","MYNlyric"] or if i kill you [attr="class","MYNtriangle"] [attr="class","MYNpostwrap"] [attr="class","MYNpostbox"] Food had been brought in and Niyol was invited to eat it, but he had opted not to touch it quite yet. For those who were unconscious as long as him, they would probably dive right in. Niyol was using his magic reserves to stave that off until he knew whether or not he should be hostile. He was informed that he wasn't a prisoner, which did provide a small degree of satisfaction for him. Her own comments about his situation had confirmed what he suspected. The chains were made of ethereal steel, something that was made by mortals to bind and kill souls. The issue was that, that kind of material was bound to the soul of its creator. Niyol was weakened, but he was still a god, and should have been able to shatter the material with relatively no effort. Since he couldn't, it meant that it was bound to a similarly powerful soul- of which only one type existed. [break][break] "Well, I figured this place had weak magic supplies since it take two weeks just to get a fraction of a fraction of my magic back. But if there's a place with copious amounts of death, that would be just as good as one of these pockets of magic." Niyol said, not expecting the dungeon to be both, which, in theory, would provide double the regeneration rate. After that, Niyol would ask "Seeing as you don't have many questions for me, may I ask a few of you?" If Izanami had been okay with it, Niyol would ask: [break][break] "Are there other gods with guilds, or just you?"[break] "What do the gods have to gain by being here?"[break] "What can I expect to find in that magic place?" [break][break] If Izanami had elected to not answer a specific question, Niyol wouldn't push it. He knew that there were some things that couldn't be talked about, so he wasn't going to overstep his boundaries over an arbitrary question. With his questions answered, or not answered, Niyol would then say "Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, my role in the natural order has already been filled by my successor. When I go back, there's gonna be an imbalance that'll require me to kill whoever took my place. This means that whoever was meddling on this end has interfered with my world, which means, as the balancing force of finality for my world, I'm obligated to ensure this entity never gets the opportunity to do so again." If Izanami had poked fun at the idea of killing a god, Niyol would look her in the eye and say "Immortality, Omnipotence, and being Unkillable are three very different things. You know that better than anyone, Lady Death."[break][break] Niyol would stand up and walk to the window without the aid of his 'spear.' He wouldn't stagger at all, showing that he was already beginning to recover physically. Looking out, he would see that people were using horses and wagons to move their goods. Everyone was using primitive weapons, things that were optional, but inferior in his home world. 'It would be best to leave this world pure, as it already is.' he thought, deciding it best to keep the technology of earthland to himself. "You've done me a great service, Izanami. Far more that I would expect from a divine, and you have my eternal gratitude for it." he let out a sigh as he swallowed what was left of his pride "Much to the damaging of my pride, I have a favor to ask of you. I'm going to need a place to stay. It'd be time consuming to travel from the forests to that dungeon place every day. I'd imagine that those magic crystals are worth something, I'd be happy to keep some and give it to your guild." Once Izanami had responded, Niyol would say "I'll also need someone to help me find my way around, and even go in the dungeon with me- just in case. Alura would be ideal. I like her eyes, they're comforting... Don't tell her I said that. I can tell she's already got a cold spot for me after I used Konnen-Bo on her." Niyol would stop there and wait for Izanami's response.

The explanation from Alura had left Niyol with more questions than he had answers, and had even left one question unanswered. The girl had offered to go get Izanami, this world's resident Goddess of Death, which was quite convenient for Niyol. It meant that he no longer needed to come up with an elaborate scheme to draw her out, and he also wouldn't need to go through any lengths to find her, just to have a conversation. It also meant he didn't need to do anything that would deplete his already non-existent magic power levels. Niyol had said "I would appreciate that, Alura." Once she had begun making her way to the door, Niyol would say "Alura." to get her attention one last time. "I'm a man playing a new game, a king in someone else's kingdom. I don't know the rules, so I don't know what I'm allowed to tell you. But I promise, I'll repay you for your troubles." [break][break] Once Alura had left, Niyol would begin flexing his hands again to try and get some mana flowing in them. Once the goddess had arrived, Niyol would look up. If Alura was in the room, Niyol would say "I respectfully request that this conversation be private, Lady Death. I doubt you'll have any trouble disposing of a man with barely enough magic power to sustain his own life force." His tone was calm and respectful, far more humble than most would expect of a god. If Izanami had refused it, Niyol would say "Very well. Any potential consequences, I leave in your hands." If Izanami had dismissed Alura, he would thank her. If Alura wasn't present at all, then Niyol would make no such request. [break][break] The very first thing Niyol would ask is "Do you know what I am?" referencing to the fact that he was the god of death from another place entirely. Once she had answered, Niyol would say "I see." and give a couple seconds to examine the woman. "I'm going to establish something. I'm not from here, and I serve no gods." he said to establish that he didn't belong to any familias. "I was summoned here by the cultists that Alura killed, but these..." Niyol raised his wrist and shook it, making the chains jingle "...These belong to someone else." Niyol straightened up and folded one leg over his other. "Seeing as you're the leader, a question is raised by my predicament. Am I your prisoner?" Regardless of her answer, yes or no, he would reply with a very simple "I see. Thank you." He would take a breath and ask "You got any questions for me? You know, before I barrage you with mine."

A bite on the lip after a couple of moments came right before being shoved and punched by a clearly angry Alura. Niyol had taken a few steps back, or rather, a large stagger as it actually played out as, and used his spear to balance himself. He was gripping his head, but not in either of the places that the headstrong woman had hurt him at. It was the front-top of his skull he was grabbing. "That always hurts." he said in nigh perfect Orarian. He began making his way back to the sofa where he sat down. He sat with his arms resting on his legs, body hunched over and eyes to the floor. "Orario..." he said in a soft tone, trying to make sense of his situation. [break][break] If Alura had tried to speak before a few minutes could pass, Niyol would hold up his hand and say "Please, I need a moment." in a slightly pained, but respectful tone that carried no signs of his former defensiveness. If Alura had waited for him to be ready to talk, Niyol would say "Thank you for waiting." Regardless of which happened, Niyol would, after five or so minutes, turn his head up to face Alura and say "You've got a good swing." referring to the punch she gave him. "Though, stopping at just one was more mercy than I was expecting." he added shortly after. [break][break] Niyol took a couple seconds to breathe, giving Alura a chance to reply if she so chose to before saying "I didn't do that because I felt like kissing a beautiful woman, I promise you that I'm not like that. It's a spell..." Niyol paused long enough to let out a pained grunt while also rubbing his forehead again. "I used it to... learn your entire language. As you can imagine, I'm not particularly fond of the casting method." He took a deep breath before saying "Normally involves getting hit... and then a headache that hurts more than my face." [break][break] He shifted in his seat and said "Now, I went and gave you an answer, so I have a question... those eyes. Are you the one who saved me?" he asked. If Alura had said yes, then Niyol would reply with "Thank you. You prevented quite the inconvenience." If Alura had inquired about why the defining feature for Niyol remembering was her eyes, Niyol would reply "I prefer not to make a habit of flirting with the people who save me." It was his own subtle way of telling her that her eyes were so beautiful that the haze of unconsciousness couldn't make him forget. [break][break] If Alura had asked about where he came from, Niyol would say "Somewhere." if Alura had asked for more specificity, he would say "A place you'll never be able to go to." If she pushed the question further, Niyol would say "Ask Izanami." and leave it at that. Where the cultists were concerned, Niyol would say "Even where I'm from, cultists are all insane. Sacrifice something to your deity of choice and that deity will shower you with their undying love. I'd guess it's the same here." [break][break] After that, Niyol would ask "What can you tell me about this place? Izanami, why is she walking among mortals? What's in it for you, for her?" If Alura had pointed out the fact that Niyol could've just learned all of that from his little spell, he would say "If I did that, then would you be left with any reasons to trust me? Would you be able to look me in the eye and think for a second that I didn't learn your entire life, including every secret you've kept till now? I had you teach me your language and who Izanami was- nothing more, nothing less." If Alura had asked why Izanami's identity was of importance, he would say "That's between the two of us."

[nospaces] [attr="class","MNYwrapper"] [attr="class","MYNwrap"] [attr="class","MYNlyric"] you only truly die when you give up on being alive ..... [attr="class","MYNtopimg"] [attr="class","MYNlyric"] or if i kill you [attr="class","MYNtriangle"] [attr="class","MYNpostwrap"] [attr="class","MYNpostbox"] A hand... soft to the touch, but strength flowed through the owner. Niyol didn't recognize this energy, and then, he remembered the other part of what happened- when he was fighting. Startled, rage and fear surged through him and the chains shackled to his wrist moved to swat at Alura's hand. At the same time, his legs quickly shot up with a blackish-blue energy erupting from his torso, crushing the bed and launching Niyol to the ceiling. His bare feet stuck to the wall and he held his hand to his side, manifesting a spear-like weapon. The bottom of the weapon had a standard spear tip attached to a black pole, leading seven feet up to a tip that was three spikes coming from the inside of a circle. From the way he was holding it, the oddly shaped end was clearly the actual spear tip, and not the end that looked like it should be. From his back, the outline of a pair of black, feathered, birdlike wings could be seen manifesting itself and they had gotten quite close to forming when suddenly, they vanished. "Kisa!?" Niyol exclaimed with wide eyes, a couple seconds before the magic keeping him attached to the wall vanished and he dropped like a rock, crashing onto the already broken beed. "Oof!" he said upon hitting the padded surface. Well, at least he didn't land on something sharp. [break][break] Laying on his back with his spear not too far away, Niyol looked at the ceiling and blinked with a confused expression on his face. It wasn't his hideout in the woods, that was for sure... It was a lot nicer and less... leafy. His charcoal eyes slowly rolled up and to the side to look at Alura. She looked... familiar. He couldn't quite recognize her since he was seeing her through the eyes of someone who wasn't almost dead. Some of his magic had been restored, and he could feel a connection with the spirits of this world, still. His abilities weren't suppressed, but rather, his abilities required so much magic to use that he had used up what little he had by just manifesting his scythe. Niyol lifted his hand and looked at it, flexing the muscles a couple of times. "Vivan?" he questioned, thinking out loud. [break][break] He rolled over and grabbed his spear to begin getting up but quickly began to stumble as soon as he was vertical. Niyol used his spear as a prop to keep himself up and get his rear on a sofa that was against the wall. He looked at Alura with extremely fierce eyes that, if not for his panting and blatant forcing of his eyes to stay open, would suggest he were going to cut right through her. "Kiyes ou ye? Ki kote ou te pran m '?" he asked while panting. He then raised the spear and aimed the tip at Alura, asking "Ki sa ki konplo ou a?" His hand was shaking, the weight of the spear too much for his tired limbs to support. It was clear that the only thing keeping him from dropping the spear was sheer willpower. [break][break] The spear began lowering when something caught his attention. Niyol lowered it to lean against the sofa and began sniffing the air. He could tell the other balancing force was present, somewhere nearby, but not within immediate arm's reach. It was strong on the woman, and the balancing force had been in the room. He looked at Alura with less fierce, but still highly defensive eyes, and asked "Kote Bondye ou ye?" as though he honestly expected her to understand him. [break][break] Niyol's expression would shift to being less defensive as he looked at the woman. He hadn't spent much time talking to these people, but he did remember his other world. He knew basic interaction, and if this woman or her god were going to kill him, they would have done it. Niyol lifted the spear straight up and pushed down, using it as a prop to help him get up. The spear would still be shaking as he held it with one hand, placing his free hand on his chest. "Non mwen se Niyol." He would say in the calmest tone he could. If Alura hadn't given her name, or had shown signs of confusion, he would say "Ni-yol." while patting his own chest. "Niyol." he would repeat immediately after. "Non ou?"[break][break] Whether she gave her name or not, Niyol would begin approaching her. His stance would suggest no aggression, it was much too slow. On top of that, he was using the spear as a walking stick, still shaking as he used his strength to keep himself up. Niyol would get extremely close if Alura allowed it, close enough that if she wanted to, she could reach out and punch him on the spot, and he wouldn't be able to dodge it at all. Assuming he got close enough, he would look her in the eyes with an uncanny amount of focus, his pupils -barely distinguishable from the iris- would get smaller as he did so. He didn't look down at any point, he knew better, and he wasn't interested in what was below her eyes. [break][break] Alura would find Niyol slowly extending his free hand. Shaking from him pushing himself too much, his hand would gently take her own and begin pulling it forward just a bit. Niyol's eyes would look down at her hand, held in his -again, if she allowed it- and his expression would grow softer. "Mwen dezole" he would say in a tone that sounded apologetic and sincere. From then, a hard tug would pull Alura into him and with what may as well be the best aim in the world, Niyol would press his lips against her's.

[nospaces] [attr="class","MNYwrapper"] [attr="class","MYNwrap"] [attr="class","MYNlyric"] you only truly die when you give up on being alive ..... [attr="class","MYNtopimg"] [attr="class","MYNlyric"] or if i kill you [attr="class","MYNtriangle"] [attr="class","MYNpostwrap"] [attr="class","MYNpostbox"] No. It would seem that this was not how he would die- not surrounded by freaks in black robes, but rather, surrounded by corpses. This was something that Niyol could accept. Him and his god-soul would be sent to the afterlife, thrown into the aetherflame, and reborn into a new body. Or, at least, that's how it worked in his former world. Meanwhile, the souls of these men and women, who were delusional enough to think that their god would love them for killing a balance-maintaining entity, would remain forever in the afterlife to suffer. [break][break] He forced himself to stay conscious when he heard the commotion start, hearing the new voice. She was displeased, but didn't sound like she was truly the executioner, but rather, some kind of extension of them. Niyol could only see darkness, with a very faint, blurred, central visual range. Silence had befallen the cemetery and he saw the face of a woman in what little detail he could... She felt his neck and asked something, or so it sounded like a question. He couldn't understand, however, the woman would get a single word as her reply... "Mèsi (meh-see)." His already charcoal eyes had turned dull before closing. His mind went blank, giving him his first run in with the affliction this world called 'zero-mind' and what his last one called 'magic deficiency.' [break]
Later...
[break] After time had passed, either because his supply of magic power had been restored to acceptable levels, or because he was unconscious long enough to regenerate it on his own (3 days); Niyol would begin shifting. At first, it would be something incredibly small, the twitch of a finger. Then, he would move his entire hand, flexing it as though he were trying to grab something. The chains would still be attached to his wrist, though, significantly shorter than before. While he could feel the shackles and grab the two-foot long, ethereal-steel chains, it would be obvious that he wasn't trying to grab those. His movements would suggest that he were trying to grab not something, but someone- he was looking for someone's hand. After four or five unsuccessful grabs, he would stop, and remember where he was and what happened.
