With Beast I tap a small mirror. Now, I have to day I am impressed by what sunless can make. Apparently, letting the guy study commanders authority was quite the good idea as now these mirrors can act like a communicator.
"Testing testing."
I get so rudely interrupted
"Get on with it"
I scowl leaning back
"And why would i listen to your orders? You and your dogs are nothing but pathetic fools."
I look at the now annoyed face of anvil of valor
"Before you ask, yes I'm mocking you with this display of mine."
I notice morgan scowl, I must remind her of mordret. My own fault really. Well I am more then okay with using it, after all I am not trying to get the pompous royals to like me.
"Then why have you interpreted this meeting. It's rather clear who you have sided with"
I laugh loudly
"Oh you think I'm with song? Are you a fucking idiot? Maybe you are considering everything. I can't believe you people rule the world. Incompetence thats all this is."
He goes to break the mirror but it moves suddenly. Props to sunless i have to say for making this. He was weird about it though.
"I have not teamed up with either side. Because both of you should go die in a ditch forgotten and alone. The actions you've took have caused countless people to die needlessly. So how about this hound master. Get your dogs to find me and my two citadels, it has to be a tempting idea. So waste your time trying to find me, it will be a funny thing to watch."
As anvil goes to break the mirror again it turns into a flood of sparks being saved by being desummoned. Now now, it seems to be time to do the same for the song meeting. No puppet master this time though. Sadly i would say.
With Sun I say nothing as I walk into the tent. How odd, to be able to witness this meeting. As one of the 'guards' of silent stalker.... what the hell? Why does that girl look so much like sunless? I'm not crazy, I can't be. It's the girl... and maybe taller, version of him. I had never personally seen the guy but from a drawing made of him, yeah he looks almost exactly like that. I try not to move or cause any attention on myself. It's not that weird me and the leader of the special unit was chosen, I was the highest performer and hes the leader.
"-while we are not. The tyrant, King of Swords, is already here in Godgrave. But my mother is still waiting for us to extend her an invitation."
Aw yes the flowery language of a royal.... I keep my eyes off of Caster. Hes here it seems. I hoped he wouldn't join this all, but there's a good chance I'll fight him unfortunately. Mostly for him as I personally never met the guy.
With a rain of sparks of light a small mirror appears. All of the Saints stand
"Testing testing"
Do i really sound like... that?
"Heat seeker. Its has been some time."
Beast clears their throat
"Yeah yeah... starting to see why that corny guy acts like this. Hard not to be dramatic like this."
Of course they had to mention mordret
"Now now anyways. Do you all want the long or the short end here. There's no puppet master to badger at."
Seishan smiles... is that fondness or am I crazy
"The short."
Beast clears their throat and
"Come and get me you damn puppets. I am my own side, and that side is fuck you and fuck valor. Okay I'm done. I think its pretty clear what I've been doing to mostly valor up to this point sooooo."
She laughs, not that funny. It was too dramatic.
"I look forward to it."
Caster slams his hands down
"■■■■ stop this madness. This is all insane even for you"
Beast shakes their head a frown finding its way into on their face.
"No. And what makes you think..."
Beast leans forward and for a second the room seems to get colder even from so far away
"That you can order me around? Countless people have died due to their actions do you really think I'm the mad one? That me, one of the few saints who are against this is the unreasonable one here?"
It stays silent for a while.
"Well then. As I said try to find me, two whole citadels, and hand picked by me, are up for grabs, if you can kill me of course."
Then the mirror disappears in a rain of sparks. I hear a scoff from beast master.
"I shouldn't be shocked."
She looks at seishan
"Can't you go after someone.... less that."
So it is seishan who's going to fighting me. That makes... little sense if I'm honest. Someone with a aspect that can keep themself warm is far better for the job.
Later with Beast I sit at the table my head in my hands a scowl written all across it
"And... you couldn't have told me before?"
She shakes her head, it still do not know what to call the leader of the actors. As a actor she goes by many names, or so she claims.
"I have a reputation for not telling the truth, so many disbelieve my words."
I shake my head
"I know of how dangerous a seer is. Now what, the prince of nothing has taken most of the house of night, and you only tell me in time for me to do nothing?"
I'm worried for bloodwave. Deeply so.
"It was the smartest move to not do anything. Song or valor would have attacked them and the government eventually causing far more death. Now with the house of night gone, neither side are going to attack the government."
I run my hand over my face
"And its entertaining isn't it"
I'm sure a smile had spread across her face just by her tone
"Of course. But you left some assurance back at bastion did you not?"
I study her. That ability of hers, to know so much. It rivals cassies, and the flaw seems just as bad, no worse. I'm quite sure her flaw is to go mad because of the information she learns. I sigh
"Of course I did, its not rocket science to know he would attack bastion."
I left what I had gotten from my aspect legacy. Right now its in the form of a vase at beths house. It absorbs essence slowly but infinity. And that essence can eventually be unleashed. Its too slow to be useful, only more recently am I confident it could do any damage to a saint.
"Then... why are you mad?"
I scowl is it not obvious?
"I quite like the house of night. They can be pompous but they actually helped in Antarctica."
She nods. I'm sure she already knew it though. One of her abilities seems, and I say seems ad i simply do not know her abilities, to be that she can have a link with the other members of the midnight actors guild. I think it protects them from people spying on them... and maybe some forms of mind attacks as well. Information based ones i believe.
"Well. There's not much we are able to do about the prince of nothing, well without too many losses. I can hope the dramatic fool has enough sense to know not to take the body of a whole city."
She nods
"Because of soul stealer?"
I nod... how am I not shocked she knows about the plagues? She knows too much that she shouldn't. That seems to be her whole deal, being smart and knowing too much.
With Heart as I try to sleep Archie comes practically running over
"Did you hear what happened?"
I dont lift my mask holly stands up
"What has happened? Has song already attacked us?"
"No no, heat seeker used a memory to taunt the king!"
There's a long silence i speak up now annoyed at him being so loud
"Didn't they already steal from both great clans? Its not out of the water for them to be pulling shit already."
Madeleine sighs after taking a long drink from her canteen
"It isn't, but to do it right to the king's face? That is frankly crazy"
I wave my hand
"This is all crazy. A civil war between the domains, this could doom all of humanity"
Archie taps his foot
"Are you a downer"
