Koku squares off with the foe. Rushing in the forms arms extend and contort forming themselves into blades. Slashing at Koku from above, the Gaurd Captain manages to dodge to the side avoiding contact. As koku rolls out of the way however, the leg of the creature swoops over, forming into a blade as it presses against Koku's side. Entering though his gut. Koku coughs a chunk of blood.and steadies himself with one hand on the floor.
Archaic backtracking finds his way to the window from which he entered. sneaking out it and then down the side of the structure he draws no attention to himself as he exits the building.
Beanbaker in the mean time manages to stow away from the power struggle taking place in the throne room of the odd architecture. Wandering through the halls he finds a room with a gilded door. the lock on it is ornate but the desire to open it is enough for it to be undone, and Bean enters the room.
A bright flash of light rushes through beans vision. Blinded for a moment he turns about to find that the door has vanished. In an open field, a woman sits on the ledge of a spurious fountain in the midst of no-where, bending down, she picks some flowers.
With blood in my mouth I look up at the creature and smile a little. Spitting the blood into the creatures eye area I kick him in the stomach and get him away. I take out my scythe to repay the favor. Charging fast I swipe at his chest expecting him to dodge so I keep my left foot turned while I land in order to be able to spin my blade around to at least do a minor amount of damage to him (besides for the kick).
Realizing beanbaker left me alone I am both angered and excited. "Looks like someone will be replacing the old archery target for a while."
Looking back at the creature in front of me I realize he means business so I try hard to keep my focus and try to plan ahead. While looking at him I try to also look around him to see any objects that may help in the fight, or that may be slightly suspicious to make sure he is not planning anything himself. When I have to blink I prepare to move as I realize it is a key time to strike. _________________
*Archaic walks in Nimur as he takes out the note and reads it once more. He knew that it was time to do some research, but his blood lust wasn't filled yet! Moving out of town in a miserable state, Archaic headed towards the direction of the capitol, hoping to encounter some villains or missionaries on the way there.*
"Ok now, who should I talk to about this thing. I don't want the others to know as it seems like a personal challenge or invitation or whatever. If the others were worthy of it, they would have gotten their own. Looks like its off to the capitol to see if I can find this in any books."
*Archaic notices a man glaring at him, most likely for talking to himself, and decides to flash his gladius and smiling before walking away.* _________________
Koku getting up kciks the figure. As his foot passes through it, the ethereal form dissipates in a swirl of darkness, vanishing forever from this world. It seems that while powerful, its endurance was for not.
Bean meanwhile looks down to the flowers and notices nothing abnormal about them. the woman fails to respond to him.
Still kneeling, I look eye-to-eye. "Perhaps my manners are not nearly as refined as what they are supposed to be for a guard. My name is Beanbaker."
I stand up and study the fountain and study the field around me. "What a strange place to end up. Just hope everybody here is as happy and serene of the setting."
"Hm just a minion, it appears that there is more at play here then I would imagine. The fact that anyone could dispence such awful creatures at their will seems beyond me." Putting up my hood, I close my eyes and start to rely on my other senses as my eyes may be failing me against such a strong opponent. _________________
The woman stands up and looks in beanbakers direction. Smiling quite gaily she runs towards him. her arms spin about taking in the sunlight, as her form passes right through beans body.
Koku closing his eyes no linger senses the presence of the shadow.
Using the sounds of my steps to guide me, and the sense of wind flowing around me I guide myself towards an entrance that I depict as being to my north. Keeping the wind in front of me, I listen to make sure I am not stepping on a different surface or stepping into a wall. _________________
I start to look around for any sign of where I am, and how I can get out. "Can anyone hear me?!?" I yell, and patiently listening to my echo for an unfamiliar sound.
The vast plain stretches out near endlessly and the woman quite joyously wanders off, your screams go unanswered. Days pass and all hope seems lost.
Spoiler:
Taking a seat, a swirl of darkness forms in front of you. A cloaked man wielding a red scythe appears. "What would you give in exchange for your freedom?"
The man takes down his hood and reveals his face. His hair short and black, with a grim discomposure his facial features are handsome yet at the same time somehow discomforting. With deep black eyes, he steps forward and smiles. Your body becomes stiff as he places his hand over your face. In an instant you awaken laying on your back in the capital.
