Secrets, part 41
Maria silently smiled to herself as watched Dubhan and Tomas. As predicted, he wasn't far behind. Dubhan was at his vanity and Tomas was brushing out his long hair, giving compliments every chance he got. Dubhan grinned at his female reflection in the enchanted mirror. "Am I really so pretty?", asked Dubhan coyly. Tomas smiled sincerely. "More gorgeous than you know", he replied. Maria quietly sewed nearby, glad Dubhan had accepted them back after so many weeks of desolation. The trio's arrangement seemed odd to most, but it worked for them. Dubhan could easily trade roles as he needed. With Maria, he was dominant. With Tomas, his feminine side shined. With both, well, some things are better left unsaid.
Tomas set down the brush and gently kissed Dubhan's ear. "So very lovely, my sweet", he cooed. Dubhan grinned to himself at the words. He thoroughly enjoyed being admired. Glancing toward Maria, Dubhan's smile faded. "Enough pampering", he stated. Tomas knew that tone. It was time to back off. With a nod and slight bow, he backed away, giving his love some space. "Maria, come", said the shadow mage. Setting aside her sewing, she obeyed. "You two are hopeless without me, aren't you?", he said, faintly grinning once more. Maria blushed, but nodded. Tomas silently knelt beside her as if he were a knight reporting to his king. Dubhan sighed listlessly. "All right, a little longer, then you really do have to go", he said. A dark smile crossed Tomas's lips as he rose to his feet, taking both Maria and Dubhan by the hand. "Shall we then?", he said, his meaning clear. Dubhan smirked and slid his hand free. Walking from the vanity, he knew the others would follow him up the steps to bed.
Elsewhere, the mages of Fairy Tail and Serpent Wing were ready to move on Noctis. Their friends had waited on them long enough. All watched as Eadmund silently ran his hand over the stones. "What's he doing?", whispered Yona. "He's checking for differences in the rock", replied Pax. "Like a hidden door?", asked Lucy. "Basically", said the succubus, unimpressed. "You're doing it the hard way", said a voice from seemingly nowhere. Even the dragon slayers with their keen ears glanced about, unable to pin its source. Pax grinned coyly. "You've been peeping again", she taunted. Finally, a blur leapt from a tree nearby. Blank stares met the new face. A young boy with dark skin and pale hair was burying his face into Pax's chest. "Pax!", he shouted, graciously hugging her breasts. "I wondered when you'd come, Draco. You never could resist a good fight", she laughed.
"...That's Draco?!", gaped Lucy, pointing. Eadmund calmly peeled the boy from his partner with one firm hand. "Causing trouble again, I see", he sighed. Draco tried to appear innocent as he dangled in the air from his shirt. "Put him down, stoney! he can cuddle my boobs if he wants to", scowled Pax. Quicker than could be seen, the spirit had freed himself from the gargoyle's grasp and returned to Pax's ample bosom. "Yay!", he laughed. Natsu shuffled beside Gajeel. "Does that guy seem like a kid to you?", he muttered. Gajeel smirked in agreement. "Looks like your secret's out already", giggled Pax, loving stroking the boy's hair. "Boo! You guys are no fun! If you hadn't said anything, I probably could've gotten to hit the bath with the girls later on", pouted Draco. "What?!", cried Lucy, trying to take it all in. Yona simply laughed, "Kid's got cahones."
"He's not really a child at all", stated Eadmund, watching as Nefeli happily greeted the spirit. "Celestial spirits don't age...Do they?", uttered Rani, confused. "Loke always looks the same", supplied Happy. "Yeah, but is appearance changes sometimes", added Natsu, thinking aloud. "You want me to tell them?", offered Pax, still coddling the boy. "If you want", replied Draco, playfully prodding Ronen in curiosity. "Pyrr comes and goes as he likes, but he has three different forms", began the succubus. "Pyrr?", snorted Yona, "That's a stupid name." Draco shot her a nasty look before putting on an eerie grin. "Pyrrhos is what Pax calls me. Why, what's your name?", he asked coyly. "Yona." He laughed. "And you said my name was dumb!", he chuckled. Seeing Yona beginning to fume, he quickly darted behind Jasper and stuck out his tongue. Glancing up, he took a closer look at his shield. "A wingless incubus?...Out here?...You must be Glaukos", he grinned. "Jasper", uttered the nervous incubus.
"We all have a name for him, don't we, Pyrr?", said Pax, breaking the awkward tension. "All?", questioned Lucy. Pax grinned. "Sure. Draco can summon any of the zodiacs and can be summoned by each zodiac master in turn. In the new world, they summon spirits with carved stones, right, Draco?" He nodded as he continued to inspect Jasper. "And out east, they summon with these weird paper talismans...Anyway, there's a special 'key' for each area of the world", explained Pax. "Like your diamond key", noted Natsu. She nodded with a smile. Trying to ignore the kid, Yona was intrigued. "What did you mean by three forms?", she inquired. "If he's not really a child, then he must be an adult, right?", offered Rani. "That's one other form", said Pax. "And the last is a dragon", stated Gajeel, without question. "Oh, you're good", teased the succubus. "I wanna see that one!", spat Natsu, excitedly. "Aye!", chimed Happy. Lucy sighed as she dragged the boys away from the spirit.
"You wouldn't like that", stated Pyrr. "Why not?", asked Lily, skeptically. "It'll mark the end times", stated Eadmund. Nefeli cooed sadly as she rubbed against his ankle. "End times?", repeated Yona, "Like the apocalypse?". "That's it", smirked Pyrr. An odd silence fell over the group as Pax fawned over her celestial companion. "So...Pyrrhos?", ventured Lucy. He turned in question. "You can summon any zodiac?", she asked. "Even the dead ones", he grinned proudly. Before anyone could ask what he meant, his innocent smile had faded into a stern look as he stared at Natsu. "You smell like Laniakea", he uttered. Natsu peered back blankly. "You probably smell Lucy. You saw her last, right?", he said. She nodded. Pax lit up as if remembering something. "Did Leo give you the card?!", she asked. Draco smiled serenely. "Yes. I'll see her soon", he replied. "Who is she to you?", asked Gajeel, keenly.
The very nature around them seemed to shift. Dead silence. The air seemed heavier and the sunlight seemed to dim. Draco stared at the dirt beneath his bare feet sullenly. Then, as suddenly as things changed, they reverted. The breeze picked up again and birds could be heard once more in distance. The spirit grinned wide. "She gave me my power", he beamed. Trying to shake off the eerie feeling, Lucy kneeled to eye level and offered a warm smile. "I'm Lucy. I'm a celestial mage, too", she stated. Pyrrhos smirked. "I know who you are, miss Heartfilia. Leo never shuts up about you", he replied. "You hold most of the local zodiac. I guess that's supposed to make you special or something...But me?" He grinned almost darkly as several ethereal card decks orbited around him. Lucy stared with wide eyes. "Are those...all zodiacs?", she managed. He nodded. "They are. Impressed yet?", he grinned.
"Aren't we getting off our original purpose?", asked Erza. Pyrr pouted as the cards faded from view. "Spoil sport. I know you're here for the mages below. Glaukos won't go home without them, right?", he said, looking up at Jasper. "His name is Jasper", said Yona flatly. The spirit's gaze settled over her. "You...You're the new - ", he began. Laughing nervously, Pax scooped him up with her palm over his mouth. "Well, it's time we got moving. You said you knew a better way in?", she blurted. He glared mildly as she set him down. "Do that again and I won't come next time you call me", he said, his fun soured. Yona and Jasper looked at one another in confusion. The new what?
"Sorry", said Pax. "I'm telling Cygnus", said the boy, defiantly crossing his arms. "Noo!", whined Pax, hugging his waist as she groveled on the ground. Eadmund failed to hide his smirk at the scene, but quickly straightened up once Gajeel locked eyes. Lucy glanced at Pax's keys. "Cygnus must be one of the silver", she thought. "But she's so - ...You know what she's like!", pleaded the succubus. Pyrr smirked, content he was back in control. Lucy sighed, imagining Cygnus to be like Aquarius. "We're wasting time while our friends are suffering", stated Jasper firmly annoyed. "Fine", sighed the spirit. He flicked a pebble at a nearby boulder and a door slid open. "There. Now go before Glaukos has a cow", he said. Jasper's eye twitched faintly at the kid's arrogance, but with a deep breath, he managed to thank the spirit. "See you on the other side", grinned Draco, fading back to the celestial plane.
"What exactly happened just now?", blurted Natsu. "We may never know", sighed Yona, glad it was over. "Forgive Draco. Pyrrhos has always been a handful", stated Eadmund. "Wait here. Pax, let's go", he said. Nefeli climbed onto his shoulder and chirped irritably at the moping succubus. "All right, but he sends Cygnus after me, I'm dragging you down with me", she whined. The duo disappeared into the gloom below. An hour passed by. Lucy sat pensively in thought. She never imagined there to be so many zodiacs and what did Draco mean he could even summing the dead ones? Erza stood beside her, watching the entrance for any movement. Yona sat next to Natsu and silently stared at Jasper. He, too, stared at the tunnel, visibly tensed.
"Are you okay?", asked Rani, concerned. Yona pat her head and mustered a smile. "I'm all right", she assured. Ronen glanced between them. he could give a good guess about what Yona was thinking. Neither she nor Jasper were acting the same. "At least you still have us", said Rani, trying to help. "And Van", smirked Ronen. Yona looked at her companions with a flat expression. "Hilarious. Really", she said. Happy snickered, ready to add. Interrupted before he could even begin, Jasper and Erza both stepped forward, catching the group's attention. "There's Nefeli", said Jasper. He strode forward and leaned down to the drake. She held up her leg. It had a small note tied on. "What does it say?", asked Erza. She glanced, but couldn't decipher the script. Jasper's face contorted as he crushed the paper in his fist. "We have to move. Now", he said, getting to his feet. "What happened?!", inquired Yona, worried for her friends. The moment her eyes locked onto Jasper's, her heart sank. That look of sheer despair...It couldn't be.
Pulling his eyes from Yona, Jasper took a deep breath. "They've moved both Kavi and Blythe recently. Eadmund's trying to track them, but they are reports of a sacrifice about to happen...I don't want to think about that...So, we're splitting into two teams. One rescue, one destruction. Half of us will focus on finding and saving Kavi and Blythe. The other half is to wipe out Noctis. Completely." The last word echoed with a dark tone. "If we're looking for shock and awe, we'd better let the draconian trio take on the destruction half", smirked Lily. "Nefeli, can you lead us?", asked Yona. The drake chirped in response. "What about us?", inquired Rani, desperate to help. "Ronen and Lily will come with us. You and Happy with go with Jasper, Lucy, and Erza, okay?", replied Yona. The exceeds nodded. "Everyone be careful. We don't know what's lurking down there...Let's go!", declared Erza. The two groups split off. Nefeli led the dragon slayers to Eadmund while the others relied on Jasper's acute night vision to guide them to Pax.
Deep below the surface, Blythe had been freed of his bonds. He slumped on the floor, both exhausted and terrified. "It's time. On your feet, boy", ordered Yavuz. Annoyed at the lack of response, he kicked his son in the ribs. "On your feet!", he shouted. Red eyes glared up from behind blood soaked hair. "That's more like it", grinned Yavuz. Blythe struggled to his feet. He hadn't stood in a week. "Clean him up. He needs to look presentable to the masses", ordered Yavuz. A few acolytes behind him nodded and rushed forward with cleaning supplies and a fresh set of clothes. Blythe didn't fight them. They weren't the enemy here. Once they'd completed their task, they whispered prayers to Blythe and backed away humbly. The master of Noctis looked him over. "Don't forget your lover is on the line. Now get moving." Taking a deep breath, Blythe had little choice, but to obey...for now.
Several cells away, a similar process had occurred. Kavi had been released and given fresh clothing. He grimaced at them - acolyte robes. Blood red was the church's color of choice. "Hurry. We mustn't keep our savior waiting", chided a church member. He could overhear their muffled conversations. "Is everything ready?...Where is master Yavuz?...Has anyone seen lord Dubhan? He'll be angry if he misses the big event...I heard he wanted to light the pyre himself...No, the grand priest would never allow it. The false prophet doesn't deserve such an honor." No one seemed to notice as a hooded acolyte entered the fold. The man leaned close to Kavi as if to help him change, then he whispered, "Dubhan and Blythe have struck a deal. Just stay quiet until the signal to move." Kavi's eyes trembled. He knew that voice. "Tomas?", he ventured. "Shh", he chided as he pulled the inhibitor from the dragon slayer's flesh. "Just act weak", he uttered under his breath. Kavi nodded faintly. His stomach turned over. What had Blythe done now? And could Dubhan even be trusted?
Another acolyte rushed into the cell. "Madness! The ritual will be ruined!", shouted a terrified man. "What's wrong?", asked the eldest nun. "Mages are in the base! They're destroying everything!", he yelled. "Secure the prisoner and stay on guard. We must deliver him to Noctis or our savior is forfeit", said the old woman. Everyone quickly reacted to new orders being issued. A group including Tomas surrounded Kavi and moved quickly toward the ritual site. The nun feared for her church, Kavi feared for Blythe, and no one seemed to notice the glowing pink eyes overhead. Pax clinged to the stalactites and twitched her tail curiously. "So this is where Kavi's been", she thought. Silently stalking from above, she followed the group.
Minutes later, Blythe was thrust into a bright light. Voices roared in excitement at the sight of him. He'd been dressed in some kind of ceremonial garb. Yavuz stood next to him and coldly said, "Don't try anything stupid. If you do, the dragon slayer is mine." He gave his son a shove to get moving. They walked down an ornate carpet that led to a large pit. The entire walkway was suspended high over the church's followers. People cried and shouted with joy that the baron was finally being awakened. He tried to put on a brave face. This was their whole lives. They didn't know anything else. The people cheered about thirty feet down as Blythe strode passed them. He could see a large chasm, with more people on the far side. Then his eyes settled over someone specific. "Kavi-kun", he uttered, part scared and part relieved.
On the other side of the chasm, Kavi stared back at him with torn emotions. He glanced at the end of the walkway. A large pit was constructed with a pyre and stake at its center. Leaning against it with a smirk stood Dubhan. Maria stood where the walkway ended, her eyes lowered as not to look the messiah in the face. "What plan?", echoed in Tomas's ears. He shot Kavi a curious look. "My magic let's only you hear me right now. What plan? What is Dubhan going to do?" Tomas sighed heavily. "Just watch", he mumbled. Flabbergasted, Kavi stared longingly toward his lover. In Blythe's ears rang the words, "Whatever you promised, don't do it...Please..."
Blythe grinned faintly to himself. So far, Dubhan had kept his end of the deal. Tomas had removed Kavi's inhibitor. Now to fulfill the rest of the bargain. The old priest stood at a podium near the fire pit. "Faithful, hear me! Today we truly awaken the propheted one! Our messiah has come to rid the world of Zeref's evil once for all!", he announced. Cheers went wild. "Have you any words for your people, oh great baron?" The crowd fell silent as Yavuz prodded Blythe forward. Blythe looked over the masses below. He couldn't believe so may people lived down here, faithful to such madness. Taking a deep breath, he spoke. "I know you all think I'm someone you've waited for...Maybe I am...Maybe not...But if this trial by fire will put your hearts at ease...Then so be it." Murmurs ran through the crowd. The priest sent him an odd look and announced, "Behold! He does not fear the flames! He will come out unscathed!". Again, the faithful cried out.
Nearby, Jasper's group had managed to mingle into the crowd with some stolen hooded robes. He sent Erza a nervous glance. How could they get to Blythe in time and where was Kavi? Lucy clutched her keys close, ready to react when needed. Happy stood between her ankles, hidden by the robe, but she could sense the exceed's unease. Rani, likewise, hid with Jasper. Erza stared at the podium far overhead. "Everyone be ready."
Across the chasm, an acolyte went missing, but no one noticed. After all, the numbers hadn't changed and wings weren't visible beneath a heavy cloak. Pax glared at the priest and Yavuz. Something wasn't right. Someone was frantically whispering to the master of Noctis and he did not look amused. It looked like the other team was creating quite the diversion. Then her eyes settled over Dubhan. He stepped from the pit and grinned mockingly toward his brother. "Ready to roast?", he taunted, "It'll be nice to hear you scream for a change." Yavuz sent him a troubled look. It said, "Don't mess this up." Then, he quickly exited the lofty walkway. The priest grasped Blythe's arm and ushered him forward. "Come now, child. It time to become what you were always meant to be."
Cheers faded to silence as Blythe was tied tightly to the stake. Maria looked upon him with sad eyes. "Don't forget the deal", said Blythe, defiantly staring down Dubhan. "Your lover will live", he replied calmly. The priest knew of the arrangement, thus didn't question it. Maria, however, questioned which deal they were referring to. Kavi struggled against the acolytes holding his arms as the priest lit the pyre. "Be reborn, blood baron!", shouted the old man. "Blythe!", screamed Kavi. Jasper's eyes shot wide open, hearing his brother even over the din of resuming cheers. He quickly spotted him across the deep gouge in the earth. Erza followed his line of sight. "Move!", she yelled.
Followers of the church shrieked in shock as the robes were thrown away. Screams echoed loudly. "What is that?!..She's got a sword!...Monster!" The old priest squinted down from above. "Dubhan, we have intruders. Take care of them. The ritual must not be interrupted", he ordered. He didn't get the satisfaction of ordering the shadow mage around for much longer. A sharp tendril of pure black stuck out through his chest. Blood ran from his lips as he coughed. "What?...Why?" Dubhan grinned as he stepped so the old man could see him. "I've decided I'm not interested in your rantings anymore, old man", he smirked. "Yavuz...won't..stand for it...", uttered the priest as he collapsed. Dubhan glanced toward Maria. "I've already thought of that", he said to himself.
Again Kavi screamed for Blythe focusing his weak mana so his lover could hear his pleas to stay alive. "I'll find a way to get there! Just hold on! Whatever you do, don't die!" Blythe smiled meekly as the flames climbed his legs. It hurt, but he'd expected that. He smiled through the agony, trying not to worry Kavi further. It was getting hard to breathe now. The fire was growing fast. Inhaling them burned badly. He was starting to choke on the fluid filling his lungs. Still, as his blood boiled, it oozed out into massive arcs of ethereal light, surrounding him and awing the faithful. "Look! He heals!", shouted a man. The pain was so intense, but he couldn't even muster a scream. What was taking Dubhan so long? Had he been betrayed?
Back on the walkway, Dubhan was being pinned by someone. "Get off of me! He's dying over there!", he shrieked. "Thanks to you, no doubt", replied his captor. A chained woman wrapped her bonds around him, trapping him against her body. Maria frantically tried to free her lover. "You don't understand! He was going to save him!", she yelled, trying in vain to pull the chains free. Pax swooped down and Maria shrank away in fear. "D-demon!", she gaped. "Good work, Andromeda", grinned the succubus. "As you bid, my lady", replied the spirit. "Let...go!", yelled Dubhan, struggling to fade into the shadows. He couldn't understand why he was still solid matter. Pax leaned over him with a grin. "Andromeda's chains negate magic. Give it up, you're trapped", she explained. "You're ruining everything!", yelled the enraged shadow mage. Ignoring him, Pax walked toward the flames now engulfing Blythe. Holding up another key, she stated, "Open gate or the river - Eridanus!"
Kavi watched helplessly as a huge deluge of water poured from the sky. An entity of liquid, spun in arcs around the water, controlling the flow. Kavi gasped in shock as the ground gave way beneath him. A moment later he was on the walkway, Eadmund supporting his weight. "Go", said the gargoyle, releasing him. The dragon slayer ignored his fatigue and ran as fast as he could toward the pit. The deluge ceased and the water being winked before disappearing. Kavi slowly walked in shock toward what remained on the pyre. A cyclone of glowing blood surrounded the stake. "Blythe?", he uttered, afraid of what he'd find. He dropped to his knees as his own blood seeped from his eyes, nose, and fingernails toward the cyclone. "That's right...We're the same blood type", he thought. "Take all you need! Just come back to me!", he pleaded, gladly giving of himself.
He barely noticed a thud beside him. "This one should be a suitable source", grinned Andromeda, yanking her chains. Dubhan stared in wonder at the scene. His blood, too, began seeping from his body. He screamed in mild terror, completely ignoring the serene smile on Kavi's face as he went through the same thing. Pax stepped beside them and watched with keen interest. She trusted the others below to get Yavuz. "Is he still in there?", she asked absently. Kavi nodded faintly. "I can hear his heartbeat...It's faint, yet frantic...but definitely there...You can do it, Blythe...", he uttered, growing weak from the blood loss. "Hey, baron! You're draining the dragon slayer! Can you hear me?!", shouted Pax.
She shrank back a step as a hand reached through the storm of blood. It was part skeletal and part severely burned tissue. She covered her mouth to keep herself from vomiting. Andromeda, the spirit, watched with intrigue. "Look, my lady. It's rebuilding", she stated. Pax forced her eyes open. Sure enough, muscle and skin were reforming with ridiculous speed. The blood flow from Kavi ceased and he gasped as he collapsed to one side. Fighting his blurred vision, he prayed he'd given enough. Maria had run forward and threw herself on the floor. "Take mine! Spare Dubhan! I know mine is a different type, but one as powerful as you can surely manipulate it to work for you!", she screamed, desperate. The hand reached further out as the cyclone began to destabilize. The last of the swirling blood soaked into its master, a horrifying sight of sinew and charred tissue. Maria had given permission. Her blood began to flow toward Blythe, too. Dubhan had stopped struggling. Though terrified of losing so much blood, he realized that it didn't hurt, and whether or not her put up a fight, he wasn't able to stop it.
Seconds later, the blood arcs broke apart and Blythe gasped in his first breath as he fell to the dirt. "Is he -...?", uttered Pax. Maria crawled to Dubhan, carefully checking his pulse. He was unconscious, but unharmed. Pax then watched in awe as Kavi dragged himself toward Blythe. "How can he still move?", inquired Andromeda. Pax grinned faintly. "Humans are such interesting creatures", she stated. Kavi struggled against the forces dimming his vision. He finally reached his beloved and gently stroked his face. "Blythe?", he whispered. "Blythe!", he screamed, shaking him. A soft smile crossed the blood mage's lips. "Kavi-kun", he cooed happily, as if dreaming. Exhausted Kavi sighed in relief with a faint chuckle. "You're nearly scared me to death", he said just before passing out. "Keep them safe", said Eadmund, stepping beside Pax. She nodded and he once more faded into the stone.
Far below, Lucy, Erza, Loke, and Jasper had their hands full. Trying to fight of the agents of Noctis in a frenzied crowd of zealots was not an easy task. They had to hold back against those innocents of the church. "Die, monster!", screamed a woman, striking with a halberd. Jasper caught the weapon by its staff and glared at her as his corrosion magic made short work of it. Terrified, she fled. Against his back stood Erza. "There!", she shouted, pointing with her sword. Yavuz stared them down. "Get Lucy away from here!", yelled Loke. Happy nodded and whisked her to higher ground. Rani was surrounded nearby. "What is that thing? Is it fey?...I don't know...Let's catch it. Maybe we'll get a reward", mumbled the agents. Taking a deep breath, Rani calmed her nerves and began to sing. One by one, the agents fell to ground, sound asleep. "When did you learn to do that?", grinned Loke. "Kavi taught me", beamed the exceed.
Jasper had his sights locked on Yavuz the moment Erza pointed him out. He was so furious, pure acid dripped from his fingertips. "Can you handle the rest?", he asked stiffly. "Go", nodded Erza, fending off another overconfident agent. Yavuz grinned as he settled his eyes over the approaching incubus. "You've made interesting friends, Blythe", he smirked. He twitched his fingers, beckoning Jasper and stepped into the shadows. Blinded by hate, Jasper followed without hesitation.
Elsewhere in the base, Natsu, Yona, and Gajeel were having a blast. They were actually allowed, and even encouraged, to cut loose for a change. Defeated foes littered the ground. Ronen's sword skill couldn't hold a candle to Lily's, but he fought on just the same. If he could be any help to Yona, to the guild, his friends, he would press on. Yona sent a group of zealots flying in a miniature tidal wave. "I haven't had this much fun in ages!", she laughed. "Then you'll love this", grinned Natsu, heating the water, He smirked as the victims ran away. "Damn it, Salamander! Stop showing off!", growled Gajeel, pummeling yet another agent into submission. "Where'd that puny dragon go?", he shouted, taking out another victim. "I didn't know it was my turn to watch her!", yelled Yona, flooding the hall. "I see her!", announced Natsu. She spiraled down from above and landed on his shoulder. "Huh?" He listened as she chirped and cooed. "Since when do you speak drake?", smirked Ronen. "I don't, but I think she's trying to tell us Kavi and Blythe are okay", he replied. Nefeli made a sound akin to purring in response. "Good. I'd hate to drag their asses back from the underworld", grinned Yona.
In one of the winding tunnels of the base, Jasper stalked his prey - Yavuz. He was in no mood to hold back his strength or his ire. The master of Noctis didn't know it, but there was a good chance he wouldn't win this fight...
To be Continued...
