Well, it appeared the fox went for the bait. If not for the danger that would soon come, then perhaps Mikleo would have been amused, and maybe sighed in relief. This one was a hellion, a beast, and all he wanted to do was wreak havoc and gobble up human and seraphim as he so pleased. He couldn’t let that happen. As much as being near the other froze his breath in his throat, he had to swallow his fear back and try to keep Lunarre back. Especially when he was after Alisha. Sorey and the others would arrive soon. They had to. 

A fireball soon hit a branch he was perched on before he could make his jump, and it was quickly engulfed in fierce, blue flame. The water seraph had to grit his teeth as he pushed himself up from where he had stumbled, feeling a pain shoot through his body. Dammit. He hadn’t landed too well there. 

“Unless you would prefer entire body a frozen statue, I suggest you back off now.” He threatens, leaning on his staff a slight. “I’m not playing these games of chase with you. It won’t be just your foot alone next time.”

Lunarre laughed. It was shrill and wild. Somewhere in his mind there was the memory of a different laugh, echoing from a different life. Lunarre pushed it further back into the dark. 

This was his life now. Here he was alone, but powerful. Alone, but happy. Singing, laughing, tap-dancing happy.

But devouring the little seraph brat would make him that little bit happier.

Blazing balls of blue fire erupted into existence and burned in the palm of his hands as he faced his enemy down. The little magic trick had worn off, and the seraph was now in plain sight.

“I agree,” Lunarre said, grinning. “Playtime’s over. But your ice won’t touch me again.”

Lunarre had been taught to spot weakness in others for as long as he could remember. Weakness that would equal an easy target that would equal a job well done. It had served him well in his thieving days, and his time with the Scattered Bones, and so it continued.

The seraph had not got off without injury from his fall. He favoured one foot over the other, and his staff was doubling as support. There was a weakness, and any weakness could be readily exploited.

One as alone in the world as Lunarre could rely on that universal truth alone.

Seizing his moment, Lunarre lunged forward, using his superior speed to catch the seraph off-balance. With a sweep of his arm, he unleashed an arc of flame that fanned out low across the grass, singeing the green blades black. No matter where the serph went, left or right, the weak spot should be hit. Such was the hellion’s thinking.

hi there! in reference to your last post, rose's supressed resonance does extend to hellions - the dragonewt they fight in tintagel looks like a whirlwind to her until she starts perceiving mikleo, then sees dezel, then the dragonewt in the background, so it makes sense that she wouldn't have seen lunarre's hellion nature until that point.

Oh right, I forgot about that. Though by that logic wouldn’t Lunarre have also been similarly invisible, as a hellion, like the dragonewt? Though maybe there’s a difference between human-turned hellions and animal-turned hellions?

Get back and fight? Don’t worry, he was.

With his long-range set of skills, he wasn’t exactly the best at close-hand combat like Lunarre. He had to think fast, and try to use little techniques to deceive him, create some distance, and make it a fair fight.

The ability was rather useful, however, it required quite a level of mana to perform. Mikleo was a water seraph and should be more than capable of pulling this off, sure, but each arte would take some toll. All he wants is to get this fox off his tail.  He stops when he hears the quick padding of his feet, and picks up a small rock, tossing it to rustle some grass further away from him.  He then ducked behind a body of trees. It took some convincing with himself, but he scales a tree, and hides in one of its sturdier limbs. 

He aims another freeze lancer then, hoping to make the fox to take a hit to the foot. If he could slow him down, he might have a chance. His luck was giving out now, as the barrier around him - that which made his body seem as clear as water and invisible to one’s eyes-  was fading into nothing again.

Lunarre’s ears pricked up as a rustling sound reached them. He stopped, eyes narrowed, gaze locked on the direction from which it had come - a clump of bushes. He smiled.

Did the brat really think he could hide from him?

He crouched low, then pounced.

But Lunarre’s sharp nails did not grab flesh, as expected. Instead, they seized nothing but shrubbery and earth. 

The seraph was not here. He’d been tricked.

Lunarre barely had time to react before an arrow of ice came hissing down from above and struck his foot, encasing it in ice. Lunarre clenched his teeth as the cold sank its teeth into his skin..

“Shit!”

Snarling in anger, Lunarre gripped the trapped foot and conjured flame from his palm, melting the ice enough to yank it free.

Blue flames crackled around his livid form as he searched the trees for the seraph. Nevermind eating him - Lunarre would make sure there would be nothing left but ash.

With ferocious energy, the hellion threw volley after volley of blue fireballs in the direction of where the arrow had come.

Fandom: Final Fantasy in general?

⊱send me a fandom and i’ll tell you…⊰

am i familiar with it?

Only from playing Kingdom Hearts 2 a while back. Cloud is one character, and I vaguely recall others. I would have to look them up, but off the top of my head I draw a blank. From what I recall, Cloud was a dark/angsty character with baggage. Had a history with a guy named Sephiroth, who was a definite bad guy (???). Sephiroth had black wings (????).

[Edit: On research, the other characters included Cid, Leon, Tifa, Yuffie and Aerith. I liked Aerith’s design in particular. I seem to remember her having some sort of chemistry with Cloud. Cid was fun. Leon was cool.]

do i like the fandom itself?

Nothing other than that (apparently) the general consensus among the fandom is that Final Fantasy 2 is the worst of the games.

who’s my favorite character?

I recall liking Cloud for his anti-hero vibe (I think it was an anti-hero vibe…) when I played Kingdom Hearts 2, and wishing that he was the character I was playing instead of Sora, all due respect to Sora. 

if i had to choose, who would i roleplay?

Nobody, on account of my abysmal knowledge of the series. I would have to research like all hell before I even dared. And would have to play at least some of the games. And even then I’d probably stick out like a sore thumb among the hardcore/long-time Final Fantasy fans.
