Looking around a bit off from the city you make out the building that was described to you before. Its a bit worn down, but magnificent still none the less!
I make my way to the end of a small sand dune and jump in it. Digging through and reaching the other side, I peer out to see if there is anybody guarding the front. "May be a trap, may not be a trap. Great odds."
Waiting for some while he decides it is alright to head inside. Archaic follows behind him. Entering the building is large but empty, eventually they make their way to a rather large central room. Starved men are in shackles along the walls begging or death. A blue light shines from a glass cylinder in the center of the room.
Watching from the shadows, a rather scholarly looking fellow can be seen leading on o the tortured men up the the cylinder. Making him walk up a spiraling staircase that brings him to the top of it, he is pushed inside.
Letting out a horrific scream. the man appears to drown in the glowing blue liquid. A large hook on a chain then drops down within and removes the body. Being placed to the side, the supposedly dead man slowly awakens. His sense of self lost, he acts as though he is a chained beast. A guard steps up and clubs the newly awoken savage in the head knocking him out.
"That should jsut about do it" says the scholarly man to himself. revealing a gilded gladius he walks around to the front of the cylinder. A small rubber padded opening goes into the glass. Forcing the sword inside, the blue glows much more intensely.
The liquid appears to vanish. And the scientist pulls out the blade. Rather than its original coloration, the entirety of the weapon appears to be a silvery chrome. Bean wanting to get a closer look takes a step forward but accidentally crushed a piece of glass on the floor.
"WHOS THERE! MAKIRE! get to work! it seems we've been discovered. Makire drops down from the ceiling behind beanbaker.
"Ah, so it is you. . . seems out interests are in conflict. You all were truly interesting, but dont take this personally, it is business."
The newly formed silver weapon flies through the air. Makire jumping up catches it and readies herself with bean and archaic in sight.
"This is why you have to leave the sneaking around to me Bean! You're worst than an Orsa in a china shop you know that?"
*Archaic readies Nosferatu and lets the gladius part fly towards Makire as he holds onto the axe part. He rushes towards the same direction as the blade, and when he sees Makire is close enough he slashes his axe fiercely towards the enemy.*
"It seems we're both working with improved gladiuses, but lets see whose is more powerful shall we?" _________________
"I see your priorities come before others' lives. You are not just a traitor of Nocte, but a traitor to life."
I pull out Zurgus, and jump in front of Archaic after his attack to block Makire. Using my seals, I throw some in the air, and the seals burn up in a white light, taking the form of random weapons, launching towards Makire and exploding in small white explosions of light on impact.
Side stepping she avoids Archaic's initial strike, but is caught by the end of bean's attack. It seems that the swords power is quite immense. Appearing suddenly behind bean, she swings at the back of his knee, forcing him to kneel as blood spurts fourth.
*Archaic looks frustrated at the enemy and decides to use some tactics to see if he can't foul her up a little bit. Throwing the axe part of the gladius, he manipulates the wire as to try to wrap it around her, but in case that didn't work, he runs to opposite way with his gladius and throws a large circular strike around him, making sure to cut within the center of the axe wrap.*
"That weapon of yours seems to make you quite fast, and even I don't know how I can taste your blood, but I guarantee you, I will find a way." _________________
Stepping to the side before the swing, she aligns herself with the professor at work in the background, though skilled in stealth archaic is not known for the greatest care with situations and the blade hurdles back when it misses its target, slicing the man in two.
Makire looking to archaic mumbles something under her breathe that seems like a sideways thank you. Taking off at impossible speed, archaic knows that he will not be able to catch up. Left alone in the building there is a bit of time left to explore, or he realizes that he could just head back to the capital. Abdul is dead anyways.
*Archaic approaches the body and looks at it with distaste. At his feet lay the man who trespassed on the territory of the diligent and made the weak far stronger than they should have been. Archaic begins to search around the laboratory to see if he can find any papers or items that can be of use.*
"I don't know why you wanted me to kill this fool, but I will come hunting for you Makire. Nobody ever makes me look like a fool or makes me look weak!" _________________
Looking around the lab, Archaic finds something hidden underneath a pile of meaningless papers.
*Chrome Sword Obtained(check forge)*
In addition after going through some of the shelves, archaic finds.
The Human Soul - a book detailing many facts about the human soul
Bones and Structure - An book of human anatomy
Mind and Flesh - A tomb on spirituality and its connection to the body
getting quite a number of finds, archiac exits and heads back to the capital.
