Chapter VI: Regius
On the Ground, next to Elena Sin; Auro is in shock over seeing the very individual, that is named 'Uza; The Feared'. And with that, he also tried to grab Elena, to get her away from the Bar encase of any potential harm. And with that, Elena lying on the ground, unable to move; both in surprise and wonder, to which; Auro wasn't sure what to think.
Uza, standing above Nanto Sori; said to the woman attacking Nanto, "Stand down, Sangria. Your time, will draw." To which, the woman said; "But Uza, if I can take her down now, we can-" to which; the woman gets slapped in the face by Uza. Uza then says; "Don't, test my patience." to then look at Nanto. "I'll give you this warning, stay out of what you're thinking. Or; you will suffer the consequences of my power, Zuchi."
To which; Nanto, Elena, and Auro see's Uza and her assistant dissapear out of shadows, as Elena and Auro doesn't understand what happened. And as Nanto stood back up, now knowing that Elena may tear Nanto apart. So; Nanto turns to Auro and Elena, holding her hand for Elena. Elena then snapped out of her emotions to see Nanto fully now; and tackles her to the ground.
Auro, was laying on the ground for just a brief second; as Elena was trying to punch Nanto multiple times, yelling that she was the reason for Nao's departure and other means; before Auro pushes her to the side. Elena says to Auro; "What the hell! She was the reason that Nao is-" as Auro yells, "But she didn't mean too!" Elena, then looks back at Nanto, as she now sits on the ground; with a hand on the ground and her other on her abdomen. Nanto then said; "Look, I urge you two to get some rest at where-ever you are lurking from. You then can come back at the morning for tomorrow so we can talk about it."
Elena was shaking her weapon; as Auro noticed and said, "Elena; I believe its our time to get the hell out of this pub for now. Nanto doesn't seem to be of harm, and we can discuss the real situation very soon." as Elena kept shaking. She then eased her shaking, as she stood up; with the face of anger at Auro and Nanto as Elena walked slowly out, with Auro and Nanto both in the bar.
When Elena was out; she eavesdropped encase if Auro and Nanto would have had a conversation, as they did. And as Nanto then went to the alcohol as Auro asked; "I need to be honest, Nanto..or should I say, Zuchi-" as he was leaning on a bar stool as she was getting a glass of whiskey. "Why did you keep Elena Sin safe from..that woman?" Nanto was pouring, slowly as she said to Auro; "There's some things in this world that you can't forget..and, unfortunately; i've been apart of some..terrible things."
"That's not a surprise-" Auro said, as Nanto then interrupted what he would of said; as she told Auro only a few words. "Auro..I'm going to be honest, in life you make decisions that at first, doesn't harm you..but its about the long-term that you can be. You can kind-of say that i'm trying to redeem a sin that I, myself made. Much like with Mrs. Rage out there." To which; Auro responded with, "But Nanto, you are now a wanted criminal due to your acts with those assassination attempts you pulled that got picked up. And thats not even including that you 'supposedly' had raided a high value Athlesian training base, that costed hundreds of thousands of lien. And you can only say that you're sorry of her brother now being possibly dead?!"
Nanto chugs down the alcohol as she then grabs Auros chest, saying; "Auro St. Petersmith, do you cherish what you believe in. To save a individual that you may barely know? If you do, I can implore you that you'll get slaughtered by either a pack of griffons or by those pigs in sheeps clothing, otherwise known as the White Fang." She then pushes Auro, as she yells; "Get out, and see me back here tomorrow at noon. Thats where you may seek what Nao Sin truly has become, and I can assure you that it won't end well."
Auro then rushes out; to find Elena having her ear next to a wall, as he asks; "Were you trying to spy?" Elena then tells Auro as she is looking behind her, not seeing Auro; "I- uh..uhh..well; nooo, I was just appreciating this lovely architect-" before Auro interrupts her, saying; "I get it." Elena stops; and turns to Auro. "I get it that you hate her, and if you heard that; you can put the credit that she trusts me more than she'd probably trust you." he says as they both start to head away.
Auro says to Elena as they reach the tower; "I need you to split from me for tomorrow. I can get intel on what Nantos saying of Nao, and you can find locations of possible White Fang hideouts across the city. That way; we can come up with a plan of attack in trying to find Nao and those responsible. Would that be not a problem for you, leader?" to which, Elena stood as she thought of the idea. Then, she responded to Auro; "Just promise me something. If things go south, and if Nanto attacks you; I want you to take anything in your power to stay alive. Is that a deal?"
Auro nods yes, as they return to the tower. And as they do, within reaching their apartment in Mistral; Elena tells Auro of her changing, as he abides; overlooking the skyline. He says by himself, "Hmm; so this is Mistral at night..and from a skyrise, nethertheless". But, as he walks to the kitchen, he hears the footstep of a glass heel, knowing that it isn't Elena. He thinks at first, "who could that be..could it be maids? No..no-no. The heel gave it away..but who.." as he then walked slowly.
As he turned to the window facing the skyline, he sees the cloaked figure from before. Auro is slow, quiet as hes not sure what to do. And as he looks straight from behind, the cloaked figure says, "I take it your thinking that i'm the enemy. And thats understandable, considering what you may of heard about me." to which, Auro responds with. "Your Uza, am I right to say that? And if so, why are you in our apartment?". Uza turns to him, as her face is shown, only a blur to Auro; thanks by the cloak. She says to him; "Have you ever thought, that you may be a fragment of this world, Auro. Have you ever realized that your life has been unforgiving, as you've dealt with being lied; cheated and more importantly, never even having a real family to begin with."
She then stops, and takes a breath; to then tell Auro, "I see you as a brilliant, light; with the inevtiable possibility of shining to the whole world. But with that, that light may flicker and die if you follow Elena Sin. And in doing that; you may have the possibility to fully find the one individual that she's been seeking to return to." Auro stops her, as he asks; "How do you know, so much about my past? And more importantly, on Elena Sins's past, unless you yourself have knowledge on Nao Sins fate." to which, Uza says, "Unlike Nanto Sori, I am an individual that keeps an eye on every aspect. Making sure it all goes to plan, so in a way; I keep a track on Mistrals crime system..and more importantly on Adam Taurus's endeavors in many different aspects."
As Auro was going to ask another question; right before another voice came to pasture; of it being the woman that Elena was attacked by; "Yep. You may need to know who you'd be dealing with, especially if you try to pursue with her. From first hand, I know that it'd not be a pretty situation if you keep going with her." to which; Auro has a doubletake and asks immediately; "Who the hell is this woman?" to which; Uza responded with; "That, is my personal assistant-" to which; the woman says; "Mary Sangria! Personal bodyguard, attacker and pain in the arse for any service."
Uza says; "I've giving you a choice, Auro. Leave her tomorrow; and you can get closer to finding Nao Sin. Or stay with her; and your chances of getting him will be shattered by enemies that you would never want to deal with." To which; she says one last thing to Auro. "I forgot to say something else," as she grabs Auros throat. "If you continue; finding out about Nanto Sori, you will understand why I am saying this to you. To that though; Mary sends her regards to Elena..or; her disregards." as she and Mary vanish; only leaving a card that says, 'Enjoy this present'. He grabs it, to quickly look; and as he reads it; his eyes widen. And in that; he crumbles the paper, as he tosses it to the ground.
He mutters; "Goddamnit, why did I read that. Why.." as Elena comes out; seeing Auro walk around the main portion of the apartment; in anger and distrust. She asks Auro; "Whats wrong?" to which Auro didn't notice her at first. She then walked up to him, grabbing him by the hand. "Auro, is there an issue right now that I should be knowing of?" He snaps right back; as he returns with, "Its nothing. Sorry to worry you albeit a bit. Just, its something on my mind; thats all. I'd say to get some rest, as you'll be going before me tommorow; ok?" to which; Elena questions his motives by facial expression, but then walks back; as the moonlit sky becomes clear enough for Auro to see tears coming down; as he quietly breaks down without even yelling.
~To Be Continued in: Chapter VII – The Fight of Madmen; A Drunked Qrow, Vs an Emotional Huntress?~
Crimsons Words of Wizdom: So, it seems that for Auro; hes going through some deep crap against this 'Uza'..and that Mary Sangria individual is quite interesting..here hoping that she doesn't need a hand..
But with Elena; I myself am curious to see why Auro lied, could it be to protect her? Or maybe its something else completely..All in due time, I guess...
But now; we shall return to the fight of madmen. As in the red corner, a man thats always drunk; has a scythe/shotgun/sword masterpiece and loves to be defeated by tiny miniskirts. His name, is Qrow Branwen..and on the corner; a girl thats a too cold for our hearts, with a Rope dart/revolver weapon and one hell of a sense of weapon identity issues. Her name, is Margro Hunt!
Who will win? Perhaps, I should shut up and let this go on..when in time though it happens..
~Act II has made its run..but now, Act III will soon take over..~
