"You’re a lot stronger than you look, Ki… Gabriel! I’ve never seen someone handle a Steel-Head by smashing its skull like that. Thing damn near tipped over before you tore through it!" A metal glass filled with murky golden liquid was pushed into Gabriel’s hands as he sat by the campfire, several of the Barong knights around him already clutching their own mugs. With the last glass handed out they could finally raise them high, the scattering sparks of the campfire bouncing off of their…-

"…" Caine sat in his tent, the flap open so that he could gaze upon the surroundings. The knights of the Barong duchy were incredibly conscientious with him, they had even brought along a table in case he wanted to get some work done while on the expedition. But currently, the table only served as a surface his fingers could drum. "Azu… Gabriel… What the fuck are you…?" He could still see it if he strained his eyes a little, the rocks that now littered the area around the camp. A while ago they…

"Alright, my knights. I understand that many of you are excited because Young Master Woodime is joining us on this expedition, but anyone who shows signs of recklessness will be sent home so keep that in mind." Arioch stood on a wooden platform just outside the Barong estate, the 50 knights that had been selected for this culling expedition standing at attention beneath him. Alice and Caine stood on each side of him, Teresa and Gabriel behind Alice while Caine had three attendants standing behind…

Violet eyes. Silvery-white hair. Sharp features. Skin tanned from prolonged exposure to the sun. Gabriel, knight of Alice De Vritara. He was sitting in the room, still Alice’s room because she had forced him to stay there while he recuperated. In front of him, a mirror taller than he was, his own figure staring back at him as he sat there. A placid expression, yet slightly furrowed brows. His eyes were clear, reflecting only him. His mind was equally clear, it was as if he had taken a breath of fresh…

"Hmmm… Hummm… Hmmm." The corners of Alice’s lips were turned up in a bright arc as she moved through the halls of the Barong estate, humming quietly. She had spent some more time with Gabriel after they finished their conversation, applying some more ointment and medicine to his wounds so that he would recover faster. She told him to get some sleep before she left, but knowing him he was probably doing some minor exercises to wake up his muscles. That was just the kind of person he was, rarely a…

"Alice. Are you aware of what sort of idea others will get if you greet me before Arioch Barong does?" Compared to Alice’s smile, Francis’ expression was a lot dourer, it was almost as if there were strings in place to prevent his expression from lightening up. Leonardo and Marion allowed their dark blue hair to grow somewhat freely, but Francis kept his rather short, it didn’t even reach his ears. Golden eyes were hidden by a thin pair of round glasses, the first signs of wrinkles just starting to…

"You shouldn’t be up yet." The first thing Alice saw when she returned to her room after allowing Arioch to handle the two remaining spies was Gabriel, now sitting at the edge of the bed. He was trying to put on the shirt she had left on the nightstand, but his hands were still rather battered so he was having some trouble with it. "I heard a commotion downstairs. I’d rather be there in case I’m needed than lie in bed." Gabriel was frowning slightly as he tried to dress himself, the bandages on…

"Restrain them! Carcion, hold that one down!" Arioch burst into the dining room just as he heard his guard, Orson, call out a loud order. The dining room where he and Alice had been sharing their meal was a bit away from this one so it was…unavoidable that they spent a bit of time getting here after the commotion first started. As a result, the scene that greeted them when they first entered the room was already beyond saving. The two people from Alice’s entourage were being restrained by Orson and a…

"You’re insane. You’ve become utterly deranged…" Caine couldn’t stop himself from gawking as he looked at the humanoid figure, the buzzing and creaking chuckle rumbling all around him. It was perhaps a bit strange to say that Azuras was insane, that was basically a common fact to him at this point. But, but Azuras always had a method to his madness, a red thread tying his insanity together. While he was insane in the loops, everything he did was for the sake of scorching the world and the loop.…

Click The door shut behind Alice with a soft sound, a bit of warm steam greeting her. The bathroom. She was a VIP guest so Arioch had naturally given her one of the best rooms they had, a bathroom attached directly to it so that she could wash herself whenever she felt like it. "I just put him to sleep again so no loud noises." She wiped her face as she spoke, sucking in several heavy breaths as a soft red tinge lingered on her cheeks and ears. Three days of silence, three days without a word. And the…
