Tears streamed down her face "Lil... please you can hate me and never see me again I just want to get you safe!" She spots her and flies at a distance as she wipes away her own tears. "Are you hurt? Please... I will protect you and get you to safety if you will let me. At least thos one time. I dont want to lose you." She moved only a bit closer as she reached out her arms. "I dont know how much longer these guys can hold him off." She looked worried with her face covered in scratches.
Alastor looked over at Jules and Liliath. Okay, they got a bit of distance. He then looked down at his hand, already feeling unwell. Doesn't look like I'm cut out for blood magic though. Well, here goes nothing.
Alastor pulled one of his daggers from his belt and began moving quickly to flank the orc with Neo. All I gotta do is open up the bastard for him, and we're good. He quickly lunged forward with his dagger, aiming to bury it in the orc's calf before letting go and leaping back. He then immediately drew the two he had remaining, getting ready for the hell that was about to happen.

Rundra roared loudly as Alastor buried his knife into his calf,which Neo tackled him to the floor,and started hacking away with the ax.Rundra tried to block,but his arm were chopped off a lit while after he tried that.Neo kept hacking at the defenseless orc ,his glowing veins glowing brighter and more smoke started coming off his body.Rundra roared in pain as Neo continued his onslaught of attacks,slowly killing the armless orc.

"I am not talking with you anymore." Liliath said crying "Go away." But then she realized that she wouldn't surive it here "Fine, sorry." She whisperd soft "let's go."
Damn. Didn't expect Neo to be so... efficient. Alastor lowered his weapons, looking at the ruthless display in front of him. "Neo! Calm down there, I think he's down. Ain't nobody recovering from those injuries. We're in the clear, let's go." He walked up to the maimed orc, pulling his dagger out with a slight twisting motion before shifting back and heading towards the other two.
"Everyone okay? Let's head back and find somewhere to catch our breath. Then, we can all talk."
"Everyone okay? Let's head back and find somewhere to catch our breath. Then, we can all talk."
After a while,Neo stopped hacking at the poor orc,and his original appearance slowly came back.He came out the orc,and slowly went to the ground.His breathes were heavy,and the smoke was still coming out of his body.Suddenly there's was whitish-blue surrounded him.Neo looked surprised,as he never saw this type of aura before.The burning slowly cooled as he got up as his pupils turned the same color as well,before turning back to the blue color.He would have to ask Rudra and Angi about,as he got up and walked to the others as the aura slowly disperse.
Jules gently picked up Liliath and flew near the boys. "Is it safe?" She tilts her head examining the Orc. She knits her brow. "I wonder if... nevermind." Shes sighs trying to shrug the thought off. "I should be the one to apologize Lil... I let my fears get the better of me and I am sorry. I am just happy you are okay." She smiles trying to wipe the thought of losing Liliath. "C-Can I please hug you?" She says as a tear falls down her cheek.
Neo limped his way to the other.s"Man, do I hate my demonic side."He looked back at Rundra,who's life already left his body.He rubbed his head sheepish before saying."I'm sorry Lilith...for everything .As for you two,I suppose you have questions.Trust me,I have as much questions about myself as do yall.And I already know who am I going to integrate for that info"
Liliath shook her head "No, that I said sorry doesn't mean i forgot everything." She spoke a bit harsh "So what are we going to do now?"
"Damn kid,after we did to have your life,your still going to treat us like that."Neo said.Neo pointed at the orc,and said,"You know that you have a better chance of survival with us."
Alastor sighed. "Nah, she's right Neo. Sorry doesn't fix things." Alastor sat down on the ground, wrapping his arms around his legs. "So let's work on that. First thing's first, we should look at those shards we've been arguing about. I actually had an idea. I know you don't like the shard you got, and I get that. Damn thing scared the hell outta me when I first used it. But I'm kinda curious about it, and I'd love a closer look at it. And I know how excited you were to see what these things could do, so what if we swapped your one for my one? Mine controls water, as I got to show off earlier, and it's a lot less terrifying than the one Jules has been holding on to for ya. I can even help you out with some tricks you might be able to do. I had a lot of ideas that I didn't get to try."
Alastor smiled. "And as for what we were talking about earlier, about selling the shard to someone. I can't say I'm a big fan of the idea, but it's your shard, and you should be able to decide what to do with it. All's I gotta ask is you hear us out. I've dodged a lot of disasters by hearing people out. Nobody's going to force you to do anything here, but we do wanna say why we'd be worried about doing certain things." Alastor turned to the other two. "Right everyone?"

Neo nodded,before he felt the same burning feel.He would walk to another tree,and slumped down.The same bluish aura surrounded him,cooling him down a bit.Neo also started releasing a bright mist.He looked around himself before saying,"Do any of you know what this aura is?"
"Do what you please Lil. The simple matter of things is that you're safe." She bites her tongue trying to control the anger she feels inside. Wanting to say more but she promised shed be civil.
She holds her hand as the viens in her palm become a bit darker. She squeezes her eyes closed and takes a deep breath before opening them to calm herself.
"Aura? Seems familiar but I'm not sure." She knits her brows as if it's right on the tip of her tongue.

Adriannu listened as the Magister explained how it was mostly large ships and robotics facilities that were destroyed. In addition how enemy soldier were allowed to surrender before being examined to determine their level of involvement in with the worst of their orders. This sounded good to her, especially when he mentioned that those who refused to commit atrocities would be protected and honored.
"I wish this world did things like that, then maybe I'd have a family member left alive that way. Mommy said uncle was a very nice man who loved children, so maybe he'd have taken me in if he had lived. It couldn't have been worse then the orphanage I ran away from in any case...anyway enough about that, what are robotics? I think you said the word before, but I forgot to ask about it."
The child soon asked about the ship and if she could ride in it if they managed to defeat Victi. His answer of perhaps was a bit of a puzzle, she knew that an answer like that could be a softer way of saying no, but at the same time, it wasn't an actual no so there could still be a chance of a yes.
She then smiled when she heard that he didn't think that Victi's protections would defend her from a blow from the flat of her daggers. Of course switching to blunt impacts would mean that she'd have to adjust her preferred targets to the knees, head, back of the throat and less preferentially the gut. However Adriannu noticed that he hadn't answer her last question about how much abuse her protections could absorb and thus asked it again. "How many blows can her protections defend her against before they stop working?"
Shortly after this, Raven and Lisa had apparently came up with a plan of their own, but that actually turned out to be two separate plans. While neither of these plans were to her liking, it was Lisa's that got the bulk of her displeasure as her plan involved destroying the shards. As such, she promptly threatened to kill her if should the chimera attempt to destroy her shard before pointing out the problems with Raven's plan. Not surprisingly, Lisa reacted to this rather nervously and quickly tried to appease the child by saying that they didn't have to destroy her shard. That does serve to calm the child as she was now no longer glaring daggers at Lisa because of it.
Fortunately Kylarion provided the final nail to the coffin to Lisa's plan before offering tepid support for Raven's. Adriannu however still wasn't convinced as she still had a very important question regarding this plan. "Magister, let's save that by some miracle, Raven's plan works and we beat Victi using it. Would I be able to recover my shard afterwards? It wouldn't do me any good to beat Victi only to starve to death afterwards because I lost my means of providing for myself during hard times. As mentioned before, I can't use the gold offered from the reward and your tech won't do me much good if I'm dead from starvation."

"And you shut up!" She yelled to Neo before she decicded to sit next to Alastor "Sounds good, maybe if you know how my shard works you can help me how to use it." Liliath sighed "Maybe I will sell it in the future not now anymore." She said well she decided to hug Alastor "Anyways what will we do now? Staying in the woods is not safe."
Alastor smiled. "Yeah, I can work on that. I'm curious to work out just what that thing can do too. And you can give the water shard a try, maybe show this old dog some new tricks as well!" Alastor let out a light chuckle and gave Liliath a light pat on the back, before going quiet for a moment. "Selling it later rather than now's probably for the best as well. We might not want to admit to too many people that we got these things, at least until we're sure this hunter ain't on our trail anymore."
Alastor thought things over for a second. "We should probably keep heading towards town. Still gotta do that supply run, and I gotta get in contact with a friend. One that should be able to help us out, at least in some way. But first, your shard. If we're gonna do this swap, you're going to need yours Monkey." Alastor looked over. "Jules?"

"Yes sounds as a good plan, but how long will it take for us to get in town?" Liliath gasped tiredly "Yes I want my shard back Jules, cause I need my new shard." She sighed deep before she fell asleep
"..."Neo said no words as he was still being cooled by the aura and mist.He was listening,but his mind was mostly on the energy.It was cool,soothing,and relaxing even,unlike demonic energy which is burning and raw.He wonder what it was but figured that either Jules or Alastor might know what this is.Either that or Agni and Rudra will be interrogated for this.
She hand it to Alastor with a little bit of force. "I will give this to you. I will not be talked to so rudely by her just so you know. Or have her talk rudely to people 'just because she can or doesnt know any better'. If it comes down to it, I will be forced to leave the group. Not because I want to. It's for all of your safety. If you thought that Orc was a challenge... well anyway. I like children but I also have a zero tolerance for being spoken to as if i am nothing." Her eyes were serious as she glared at him.
She turns and sits next to Neo. "This aura is very uplifting. Kind of reminds me of someone I kn-- wait." She sniffs the air as she gets closer to him. "You said... you didnt know what all you were?" She asks as she tilts her head. "This definitely reminds me of her scent... an angels sent... perhaps even stronger." She sits back and chuckles. "Oh man, if you are part angel that's going to be interesting." She looks over and smiles.

"What?!"Neo said surpised.NO,no,no,no,no,no that can be it.Demons and angel don't mix....Then again,angel do give off a cooling aura.And this feels very much like one.So either my powers are awakening now,or it just turns itself whenever I go into that state.Neo kind of just accepted that he was part angel.The aura and mist grew cooler,as if it was agreeing with him.But there was one thing that kept bugging him.His demonic powers granted him strength and durability.Did his angelic powers granted him the opposite?He'll figure out in due time.
