The Brightest Star
So much information happened in an instant, or in such a short span of time, that I didn't have time to react to it all. My special attack that I had planned to unleash on Diarch Reign I canceled it the moment I saw the ventilation grate fall in front of me, making me instinctively step back. I took two or three steps backward. It seemed my little provocation had the desired effect.
He's still asking for permission to deal with this witch he's calling me a witch? Well, it's true that I have a Nightsister's sword in my hands, so technically I am one. Ryu my eyes lock onto him instantly, especially since his blade is already ignited.
He's asking for permission to fight me? Oh, I don't intend to ask for permission. I've set up an entire scheme to lure him here, exactly where I want him. The call to Reign, and that little provocation, all served one single purpose to make him come here. And it worked. Watching him provoke his master, he couldn't resist the temptation to rush in against me. Where he's mistaken, however, is in thinking that I disrespected Diarch Reign on the contrary.
I shake my head slightly at Ryu, with the same disapproving look he once gave me, back at a private Diarchy gathering. This isn't how he'll learn to fly with his own wings. My goal is to shake him like a plum tree, to wake him up make him take his own initiatives instead of waiting until he's on the razor's edge to truly live.
As I'm about to launch into a speech, I see Reign soar into the sky literally carried off by Rellik's spear, pulling him in for a face-to-face provocation. This makes me facepalm, paired with a cold smile. We're all mad in this faction. That's reassuring it means I'm not "crazy" in the literal sense. It's the norm here.
I hear Nyva over comms telling me she'll take advantage of the situation to infiltrate the tower. Good nice initiative. My lack of response is my way of confirming the plan. For now, Ryu stands before me. I adopt a non-offensive stance and step toward him, still holding my sword. I reach out and touch his face with my hand.
"Ryu, you want to negotiate with the witch I am? First, stop to asking permission for everything, when i want something, i take it. Very well I will be your opponent. Let's fight and see which one of us is the stronger. Your warrior's skill against my science. We'll see which of us strikes the hardest. Trust Yourself. "
It's a solemn declaration for him. I am personally committing to this fight. Once I finish speaking, I step back a little and take up an offensive guard with my Nightsister blade. My guard is open this time, I am waiting for him firmly.
"Let us fight, in the glory of the Diarchy. No cheap shots, no cheating we will fight honorably, on your ground. I recognize you has my rivals, show me your power! Or fall alone. "
Having set the terms, I am now ready to face him.
