Raviathon nodded, seeming disappointed both in herself and Metatron, beginning to walk to the quarters for the group as she understood
"O-ok..." She said, still clearly nervous as she stared in the direction that the angels had flown.
"Heh, yeah..." David said, chuckling a bit.
"That seemed to be the case, but... I am exceedingly glad it did not come to that. Now, come, Ythala, I will lead you to your quarters for the night..." Okita offered, simply letting out a sigh.
"Yeah... Well, Ythala and Raviathon seem pretty chill, at least... Ythala was kinda throwing me off during our last fight, though..." Rory said, sighing as well.
"I know killing anybody who mentions them isn't doing it." Cullthane responded, sighing before continuing "For the first time in my life, I don't even know where I stand anymore, so where do you stand?"
"..Why would...Metatron do something like that. What...What happened to him..." She thought, tearing up a bit. She jumped upward, wrapping her hands around Okita's neck again.
"I'm worried about Ythala. Don't want her to get traumatized or anything if she sees us fight again..." David sighed.
David glanced forward, looking at Raviathon as she approached.
Okita led Ythala to the bed quarters where Kinzer, Rhongomyniad, Terevion, and Gabriel would be, basically the resting area as she urged for Ythala to lay down on one of the beds.
Gabriel sighed, but lightly smiled, doing just that as she retracted her wings due to them being bigger than the actual bed itself, waiting for Terevion to get in with her.
"In a pile of shit and mud," Metatron said, remaining completely silent afterward, but groans and silent insults could be heard, the insults primarily going towards himself.
"Hey..." Raviathon said, quietly beginning to curse at herself
Ythala reached her arms up, beckoning at Okita as she was placed on the bed.
David glanced around, not really knowing what to say.
(
"Yeah, what's going on...?" Rory asked, nodding at David's question and crossing her arms as she seemed a bit concerned.
Gabriel did in fact want to say a few things, but she was to mentally tired for that, needing a good night's rest with a person she cared about more than anything else right now, swiftly falling asleep.
"And if there was a time for you to leave me alone, it is also now..." Metatron murmured.
"...I cannot, Ythala. I have my own duties to attend to, and I cannot afford to sleep just yet." Okita would say, bowing apologetically.
"Just... I mostly just want to figure things out and help him out..." Raviathon murmured
O...okay...." She said softly, visibly disappointed as she grabbed Okita's arm, hugging it for a few moments.
(She's saying she wants to **** Okita on the spot-)
"Him...? Raviathon, what happened?" Rory asked.
"......" Metatron was simply silent at that, trying to dig himself further into the ground and into his solitude.
Okita nodded, her face stern and her demeanor cold, clearly extremely focused on her duties as she looked down at Ythala, her hand still gripped on the hilt of her blade.
"Isn't it obvious... I tried to get Metatron to stop just running..." Raviathon murmured, sitting down and hanging her head
Ythala nodded. Slowly she laid back on the bed, breathing out as she closed her eyes. The mental and physical fatigue had clearly exhausted her, as she fell asleep fairly quickly.
(What about David's response to Raviathon? Lol)
(Nah, I want Raviathon to talk to both lol)
"And what exactly do you think pestering me is going to accomplish...?" Metatron said, finally getting up and beginning to walk away.
"I wasn't planning to at first, but really who else is there to talk to right now if we're being honest?" Raviathon asked, though was a little comforted by David's words
"That's uh... a fair point, heh. But I don't really have much to tell you... Giving advice on this kind of stuff has never been my specialty, sorry." Rory said honestly.
"I don't give a shit about grace..." Metatron said, getting up and turning around, beginning to simply walk back to the town.
"Our duties ended when our masters died?" Cullthane asked, turning to Metatron "do you ever question yourself? Where do I stand now, Metatron? You have a contractor, you have your durability, you still have everything you need to fulfill old duties. The Mad God would have to change that personally in order to stop you... but your stopping yourself" Cullthane said, his mind a clear mess as he just followed Metatron again, Imperius having disappeared
"Yeah... thanks..." Raviathon murmured to Rory and David
"But I have nothing to devote those abilities to, Cullthane! Neither do you...! Our brethren are dead, our home destroyed, our time ended! I've nothing more to devote myself to... Nothing to fight for...!" Metatron exclaimed, breathing heavily.
"It's no problem, Raviathon... Personally, I'm... open to talk if you need to anytime. I'm trying to get better at that..." Rory murmured.
Okita was in the forest, having finished her more... administrative duties, which usually just involved mountains and mountains of paperwork. Though, she'd been working this job since childhood, so she'd gotten used to that part. Now, she was performing her training, sitting down with her legs crossed, engaging in silent meditation, green energy flowing around her body.
Jack remained calm breathing the pure air of the forest, while he waited for her to stop meditating, he didn't want to disturb her.
"You fought me when I was unsealed. You do have something to fight for, and you did fight for it, all you need to do is look around, you have Lance to fight for as well. I don't know what my duties are anymore, but I feel as if I'm on the precipice of finding them anew." Cullthane responded, walking next to Metatron
"I fought you because had I not you would've killed my contractor... Which by default would've killed me. I have no choice but to defend him. Ugh... I was such an idiot back then... Acting on impulse and not logic... How could I bind myself to such a weakling..." Metatron grumbled, even if he knew that partially wasn't true.
"Name your purpose here, Jack." Okita said, slowly opening her eyes.
"I think I'm gonna stay here and... Check on Kiara." Rory said, waving goodbye to David.
Raviathon approached Masayoshi deftly, sitting next to her as she looked at the spell Masayoshi was trying to cast, it was a fairly advanced spell, to create a plant from nothing but your own mind
"We both know that's a half-truth, Metatron." Cullthane responded, now looking at the star named Canopus, as if reminiscing about the past himself
"I already took care of the Transportation of every civilian in the city to a more appropriate place and the paperwork for the mass migration of the population" said Jack with his typical voice.
Masayoshi lost her concentration for a moment, her magic fizzling out as she looked at the angel in surprise.
David nodded, waving at her.
