Obito glanced around as a cacophonous rumble seemed to emanate from the Rift, three people flew clean out of the portal landing in a heap on the ground clearly severely harmed.

The Uchiha glanced down at them, not a familiar face amongst them, he looked to his new allies.

"Doesn't look like they won to me, guess we are up." Obito stated his three tomoe laser focused on the rift, he imagined his allies would help the wounded if needed, stepping through the portal.

Kyuubi released its tremendous roar wiping out everything that laid in its path. The destruction was beyond what any could comprehend. The three brave warriors put up a strong offensive to try and counter the insane power this wild beast controlled, though this was in vain. The blast wiped out their techniques, striking them with devastating force. The trio, weakened by his initial strike, took the power of the beast's blast head on, feeling the true terrifying power of the strongest tailed beast.​
As the dust and smoke cleared, the bodies of the trio now lay before the beast. There they lay unconscious having been overwhelmed by the beasts power. The area around them began to distort, their bodies fading and within moments, they were gone.​

Your bodies have been transported to the entrance of the rift back in the landmark. You will begin to heal from today until you regain enough health to continue in the NW.​

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this rift.​
It hadn't been that long since Emiya weighed the risk vs the reward of sending a Clone to Innovus to see if the Armory could be found, if not accessed, and it would seem he chose poorly. A shifting in the Rift was swiftly followed by the current occupants, two among them Emiya was familiar with, Mirabelle and her friend Isabella, being ejected instantly. All three looked like they had been utterly devastated by whatever was inside, yet they all seemed to be alive. Emiya looked at the Rift and couldn't begin to fathom what was waiting inside. Feeling he would need to be prepared, especially given his predicament of having only half of his available Chakra, Emiya concentrated for a moment, setting a fire ablaze within his spirit that would slowly, but eventually consume him, but in return granted him increased perception. He could feel the ebb and flow of life itself around him as his senses were sharpened to their utmost, whilst subtle embers gathered at the edges of his form, slowly drifting off and fading around him.

(Kaen Kakkusei Iden: Kodai Dōsatsu) – Atavistic Flame: Ancient Insight
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Ancient Insight is the inner focusing of the user’s Atavistic Flame to empower their awareness. The technique is activated at the cost of a move but not occupying a slot in the timeframe. Grandmasters are able to activate Ancient Insight passively. Once activated Ancient Insight channels similar awareness bonuses as granted during Will to Survive. The user gains tracking, reflexes, and perception increased by x3 while Ancient Insight is active, lasting until deactivated. Each turn Ancient Insight is active the user suffers from 5 spiritual Health Points lost, though the user will regenerate 5 every other turn.

Emiya took one look at Mirabelle and knew Atavism's spiritual nature couldn't heal her physical wounds. It was rather heartless of him, but given his aforementioned predicament, he didn't have the Chakra to spare to seal his Prana away to safely heal her injuries before he headed in. It was unlikely they would be attacked within the heart of Solanaceae, and given what the Arbiter had said about wishing to discover the secrets of the Rift, it would absolutely see that they would be taken care of, even if it was only for the greater purpose of gathering information about the Rift. Mirabelle could rely on the kindness and safety that Solanaceae offered. He knew they were in good hands. He didn't know if she was listening or not, but as he passed her he gave Mira a heartfelt apology, doing his best to put on a brave face and not the one of pure self-loathing he wanted so desperately to convey.

"I'm sorry how things turned out this time. I hope you can forgive me."

Emiya was only a few steps away from the Rift when he stopped, turned and looked back to Isabella. It was the first time he'd seen her since Innovus, right before the hunt for Nefarian began in earnest. He did speak to Mirabelle about his feelings of that event in Kamiyasumi, how if they were there perhaps things could have ended differently. Maybe they could have made a difference. Even if they couldn't have made a difference, the fact he wasn't even given the chance to try is what hurt most. To him those lives lost were just as much his fault as hers. He trusted Isabella to let him know if and when they found Nefarian. They exchanged communication scrolls for that exact purpose. And yet even in the two years that have passed, not a single word was communicated from Isabella herself. Emiya was left standing in Innovus, powerless as he watched the lives that were "saved" by the plague be lost in an instant. There are simply some things one shouldn't be given no choice but to be spectator to, and not even an eternity could mend that wound without some mediation or intervention. Well, it was rather fortuitous that Isabella was in no position to ignore his words, so he approached, giving her no room or time to recover from the ordeal she clearly just went through. He knelt down next to her, ready to finally get this weight off his chest. But first? He had to recognize how much she had changed...

"You know what? I'm glad you've learned to trust in people. To rely on them when you might need them. Maybe it didn't work for you this time, but the fact that you tried? I am genuinely happy that you gave it a shot, even if it's only this once. I hope you try it again soon. Please, please don't let this experience spoil that beautiful decision to grow. To change for the better. To know you can surround yourself with people you can trust, and be trusted in return.

And with that said... It saddens me to think I might not ever be among them. I don't know whether you care or not, but it hurt when you didn't call on me for help like you said you would. Back when you were hunting Nefarian? I know it's been two years, but I don't think I'll ever completely forgive you for it. Even if you don't believe those lives are your burden to bear, I do, and I will."

If that was all, that would have been the end of it. He would have left, and braved the danger waiting for him inside the Rift without a second thought. But there was one last thing Emiya had to do. Ever since he saw those eyes of hers in Marzan's forge, he knew there was something off about them, but only now did he know what. He looked down at Isabella, but he was no longer speaking to her. It was as though he were speaking to someone behind her? Beneath her? She was no longer the target of his ire, but unfortunately she was the proxy of his wrath.

"I know you're listening. Enkidu told me enough about what happened in the Hokubu to know you're not finished. After all, aren't you both the mighty tapestry and it's creator? This might not be smart. It might not be permanent. It might not even do anything to you, but I don't care. But I hope this single, small act gives you the capacity to understand true fear."

Emiya slowly stood up, drew Tsumukari and without a moments hesitation cut Isabella's eyes. The blade passed through her, inflicting no physical wound. It didn't have to. Emiya immediately grew pale as a small stream of blood trickled down his chin. He suffered heavy recoil damage stemming from the act of tampering with reality and causality when he was an imperfect, mortal being. Isabella suffered no physical damage, because Emiya had no desire to actually wound her. His target was something much more alarming; Her connection to the Void. By conceptualizing Isabella's link to that abhorrent prison outside the bounds of space and time, Emiya cut it like one would a thread. This would have the intended effect of severing her connection to the Void, and thus presumably Abzu's connection to her, albeit temporarily. She was a beacon, a host, a doorway to the Void in the same sense that he was one for the Throne. That connection could, and almost definitely would repair itself in time. It was not a permanent solution to the problem posed by giving Abzu a pair of eyes to view the world, but it did give him some small measure of comfort since he wasn't present for Humanity's Last Stand. A middle finger to the Primordial Deity who almost destroyed their reality. He sheathed the blade, his expression more pained than one would think and certainly not reflective of the damage he'd received, as though it wasn't the pain he were reacting to, and now headed towards the Rift. As he did, he called back to her.

"There. Now I think I can forgive you just a little, Isabella."

(Tsumukari) – Heaven Reaching Blade
Type: Artifact
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: N/A
Damage: 100
Description: Tsumukari, or the Heaven Reaching Blade, is the first katana reforged in the Armory of Marzan after the raid on Irkalla, the Underworld. The sword was reforged using the remnants of the God-Slaying Tool Blessings from the End of the World. Tsumukari is the first of a new generation of God-Slaying Tools, weapons noted to be the great “equalizers” in a cosmic conflict between the gods and man. Forging the blade was a cooperative effort between Marzan, the original engineer of the God-Slaying Tools, and his apprentice Emiya in the aftermath of the demise of the Domain of Death. Because its former iteration was rife with Void energy, Tsumukari has been endowed with unique abilities that go beyond what a standard God-Slaying Tool is capable of. On a basic level Tsumukari and the techniques it produces, be it through the sword or the sword as a proxy, contain proper Divinity to damage and slay a god. Passively, Tsumukari increases the user’s Kenjutsu techniques that utilize the sword by 30 additional damage. All the user’s Kenjutsu techniques, with the exception of those of Tsumukari’s active abilities that explicitly exclude them, gain a single range unit. Visually this appears as crescents and strikes of energy lashing out from the edge of Tsumukari, extending the range when necessary. Tsumukari is unbreakable; though its unbreakable nature cannot be used defensively alone. Use of any of the active abilities of Tsumukari puts the other two on cooldown for two turns.

Yōtō (lit. 妖刀, "Wicked Katana"): The first and most basic attack afforded to the wielder by Tsumukari. The user adorns the edge of the blade with Chakra, infusing it with trace Divinity, and performing simple slashes or piercing attacks with the sword. The user can either maintain the energy along the edge of the blade, empowering its basic attacks to inflict considerable damage for up to three attacks or five turns, whichever comes first. Alternatively, the user can consume the adorned edge and focus it into an arc of Chakra as a projectile with long-range reach. In either case, the blade strikes for 100 physical damage. This damage is treated as strong to all natures and abilities, with the only exception of Anutu and its components. Can be used four times per battle.

Will of the God-Slayer: A state activated through Tsumukari. The Will of the God-Slayer is the legacy of Marzan himself; through raw determination and human ingenuity the blacksmith forged the first God-Slaying Tool. It is an evocation of tenacity and hope, the desire for a better tomorrow by equalizing the war of today. When activated the user’s Kenjutsu prowess is further augmented, increased by an additional 20 damage while gaining an increase of three times their base speed. Additionally, any critical strikes they land with Tsumukari are increased by 30%. Lasts for four turns, can be used twice per battle.

Tsumukari Muramasa: A unique technique that emerges from Tsumukari’s unique composition between Void and Divinity. In short, this ability affords Tsumukari the power to cut causality. The technique is initiated through the user’s Chakra, costing 120, though its true cost lies in the Health Points it drains. Because the user possesses no Divinity the combination of Void and Divinity siphon the user’s health, costing the user 70 Health Points to perform. This health cannot be regenerated while in a battle unless the user possesses full Anutu or Atavistic Flame, in which case it can only be regenerated four turns after Tsumukari’s use. In the case of Atavistic Flame it heals at a rate of 50%, meaning if the user heals for 70 Health Points with Atavistic Flame it will count as 35 toward their total. In essence, when this technique is activated it becomes able to ‘cut’ causality and concepts that the user is capable of perceiving. It cannot cut the concept of ‘life,’ meaning to instantly kill another target. When Tsumukari is used like this it does not physically cut the target, rather it performs a metaphysical cut. There is no visible slash, gash, or piercing wound left on their victim, though contact with the blade is still required. Tsumukari Muramasa can cut Chakra, bonds, summoning contracts, and even Edo Tensei links. This ability can be used thrice per battle.

Medic: this God-Slaying specialization is designed to provide medical support to their team. They are not particularly well suited to combat, much like a Support specialist. But they are able to cure debuffs, diseases, and provide significant benefits to their teammate in the way of bulk healing, healing over time, and area healing.

Grace of Ishtar (Passive): Medics gain an increased 30% healing to all their abilities. Their healing techniques have a 20% chance to critically heal, causing them to heal for 100% increased healing.

Composite Healing (Passive): A Medic's healing techniques gain Composite Healing. This causes all healing to simultaneously heal Spiritual and Physical damage.

Embrace of Nannar (Active): At the cost of a move and a slot in the timeframe the user is able to heal all allies within mid-range of their position for 30 Health Points and cure them of all negative debuffs, as long as they can be cured. Usable once every four turns.​

As he walked towards the Rift Emiya's body flashed a deep crimson with an unknown, dark power. Though this may have been cause for alarm to those who hadn't spent much time with him lately, he knew what he was doing. Tsumukari was a curious artifact, only allowing it's damage to be healed in certain ways when he was otherwise engaged. But outside of combat? There was no such limitation. Thankfully his actions outside the Rift, while particularly harsh on the Kunoichi, were not actions taken while in combat. A loophole woven into the reality of the blade, and one he would now utilize to enter the Rift at his best, or as close as possible to it. The flash only lasted for a moment. To anyone else that's all it was, a moment. A single fleeting second of precious time in this world. But for him? In that moment hours passed. Hours of his own personal time as he fast forwarded through his personal lifespan, healing the damage to his transient, earthly form by Tsumukari before he entered the Rift to do battle.

(Gisei: Εννέα Ζωές) Sacrifice: Nine Lives
Type: Supplementary/ Offensive
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Self
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Nine Lives is a supplementary application of Sacrifice, and can only be performed when the user or a given target has sustained a loss to their Health. Through manipulation of their Life the user consumes the future to preserve the present, allowing the user to recover lost Health up to 50% of their max Health by consuming that same amount in Life. This essentially fast forwards the user's body through that given amount of time as though they had actually lived through it, naturally healing their injuries in seconds instead of weeks or months. As this is a result of accelerating the body's natural healing cycle the health is recovered as though it were natural regeneration, allowing Nine Lives to recover any non-spiritual loss of health (Kinetic, Blunt, Cuts, Burns, Recoil, etc). Naturally injuries that are not healed through such means, including loss of limbs and vital organs, cannot be healed in this manner. As per Sacrifice's mechanics the user's Life is reduced along with their health when damage is inflicted to them, and then once more with the consumption of Life to recover the lost health, thus this unorthodox method of healing can quickly burn through the user's Life. Through direct contact this technique can be applied to others following the same rate of conversion and level of healing, but takes one full turn to achieve.

Note: Can be performed once every 3 turns, and can be performed 4 times per battle.




Health: 240 -5 Spiritual (Ancient Insight) -70 (Tsumukari Muramasa) +70 (Nine Lives) = 235.
Chakra: 1000 -120 (Tsumukari Muramasa) = 880.
Life: 2400 -70 x2 (Damage taken + Nine Lives) = 2260.

Musashi watched as a tremendous roar permeated the air, and from the tear in the tapestry of space and time came three bodies - not quite bodies. Not quite dead, but definitely worse for wear. Amongst them was the young woman with two souls, Mirabelle, whom Musashi had met in Kamiyasumi two years ago, having crossed paths in the depths of the island's forests.

There was a pang of guilt in Musashi's breast - she was no chirurgeon. Though her training the last few years offered her the ability to grant some small solace to those who bore scars on their souls, wounds of the body were not in the realm of ability for this Ronin to mend. At least, not quickly. Bandage and gauze and salve could only accomplish so much.

Here in this some-what-heart of civilization, Musashi doubted the three figures would come to harm, but she couldn't help but be wary, especially with the Herald looming overhead. It was not impossible for Shinobi to read the thoughts of others. Therefore, it was not beyond the breadth of comprehension that this figure might wield similar powers. Would it respect the three unconscious figures' autonomy? The swordswoman could not say, and cursed her lack of ability in this case.

As a swordswoman, her talent lay in inflicting wounds, not mending them, unfortunately.

The Uchiha - Obito - was the first to head into the rift, his eyes swirling with the crimson and black markings that made the clan infamous. Despite hearing the stories, it was the first time she had seen them in person.

She also watched as Emiya spoke upon the unconscious figures. It seemed he knew Mirabelle as well - probably better than Musashi did, in truth - as well as the crimson haired figure before them. Before she could protest, she watched as Emiya swung his blade and struck across the woman's face, but with the only blood being split seemingly being of his own. Musashi couldn't help but shiver with goosebumps as she watched him wield the blade, and caught her self holding her breath. She couldn't place why, but something about what just happened shook Musashi to her core. She recalled a brief conversation with Marzan and Emiya about the blade upon the red-haired boy's hip when first they met, but in the two years Musashi and Emiya had known each other, she had not pried more. Perhaps one day she would, but...not today. Not now.

Either way, the only path forward was, well...forward. Musashi could not tend to the wounds of the defeated trio, nor did she think she would be able to successfully defend the three of them should the herald make a move upon them. She would, for now, trust in the Herald's words. It did not seem hostile at least, and so she would place no small measure of trust in that. Whether that was a wise decision would remain to be seen.

Musashi would take a deep breath as she focused and approached the rift, a hidden flame igniting within her. Her already radiant soul burning even brighter. The breath of life and the song it sung would become hidden no longer to the Ronin, and with the ability to sense life itself along with her Ronin attunement to the soul...she would reach a state of awareness that most people could only dream of having. And for the Ronin, it was still not enough.

But, such awareness would serve her well, when stepping into the unknown, as the ability to understand what was around her would be invaluable information.

Stepping forward, grasping her scabbard, the Ronin would cross the threshold into the realm beyond. Both the individuals gathered here today and the phenomena all appeared to harbor great secrets.

Time would tell what of them would be revealed.

Lilith coming from [x]

Stoyboard Mission Element(s):

  • Help a friend
You must be registered for see medias
Lilith landed at the Ruins of Chungsuu next to where the location of the rift was. It would seem like the two others who were there last time had disappeared but instead, infront of her now were three unconscious people. Two of them were familiar but the third was not known to neither Lilith or Alucard. Through her mental bridge to her father she asked for advice.

*Isabella and Mirabelle are lying in the dirt, i.. Don‘t know who this third one is but she’s equally hurt. They’re all breathing it seems but they’re out cold.*
From the Crimson State Island, Alucard watched the situation. It would seem like his gaze couldn’t see much further than to her daughter but it was a moot point to try since he could observe what she saw as well. He answered her.

*I obviously sent you there to kick them in the crotch, no, need you to heal them, just don’t overdo yourself. Once that’s done, ask them what happened to them.*

*Pft, Yokai*

She inhaled and enjoyed the last of her cigarette before doing the work.

Yosh.. Here we go.

Lilith gathered up her Yang release and placed her right hand on Isabellas left shoulder. Using the Touch of the Sun technique, she channeled the chakra throughout her body and into the host, giving Isabella a very needed amount of health back. It would restore any damaged anatomy within her but probably not heal her to full extent but well within the needed ballpark. Seeing as the three of them were lying close by, Lilith stretched out her left hand and placed it on Mirabelles shoulder as well, using the Touch of the Sun through her left hand too. This would restore both the kunoichi up to 150 health while draining a substantial amount of chakra from Lilith. She could handle it though, through the mastery of Yin/Yang she had practically unlimited amount, as long as she would meditate. She looked at the unknown kunoichi with an iron gaze.

Sumimasen love, you’re going to have to wait chotto matte. This girl only has two hands afterall.
As she had expelled her chakra thouroughly through both her friends she then approached the third. She molded her Yang chakra a third time and expelled the same amount of chakra through both her hands as they touched the kunoichi’s stomach. The Yang release healed her 150 HP as well, perhaps not providing full health but atleast she could heal the remaining light herself. She felt, in Lilith’s mind, powerful. Like her friends of old.

(Yoton: Taiyōnomegumi) - Yang Release: Touch of the Sun (x3)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra cost:70 per use
Damage points: N/A
Description: Through the infusion of Yang natured chakra into others, users can heal others to their original best physical form. It can be used to regrow missing body parts, heal wounds, purge poisons, etc. The target needs to be alive and the bigger the injury, the longer it takes to heal. The limits of the heal, however, are almost none as it can heal 150 damage per turn and can even heal the chakra system or other injuries that are otherwise not possible to be healed. The technique requires time and physical contact and as such isn't very suited to use in a battle when compared to regular Iryo Ninjutsu.
Note: Yang Release Specialists and Yin-Yang users are able to use on themselves.

She sat down on her knees and lit yet another smoke and exhaled a small plume. She waited for the girls to get up and perhaps help her and her father as a return in exchange for information. As she waited, she would meditate her chakra reservers and gather up all the lost chakra in a whim (ish).

(In'yōton, Onmyōton: Chakra no Sōzō) Yin-Yang Release: Chakra Creation
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A (+300 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: A unique ability available only to Yin-Yang masters, Chakra Creation pertains to the ability to focus on ones physical and spiritual energies and draw more from one's essence. This allows the user of the technique to replenish and regenerate a limited amount of chakra. This is done by clapping one's hands and focusing, meditating for a moment.
Note: Must meditate for 1 full turn before ones chakra starts to regenerate

It felt like quite a bit of time had passed; but in reality its only been a few minutes. Mirabelle, Isabella and Nadja had failed their assignment in dealing with the Kyubi- and due to their failure- it seems the interdimensional rift immediately yeeted them out and back into the real world. At first, she would lay there unconscious but a warm feeling washed over her- as most of her wounds began to become healed over. With enough nourishment- Mirabelle’s physical state was not quite restored- but enough to bring her back to bring her back.

Wha?!” she gasped, and looked up frantically- unable to tell her what happened at first. As she finally settled down, she realized the reality. Now, a wave of bitterness and anger washed over her as she turned to her teammates. She was the first to reawaken- but she then looked at the very familiar face.

Long time no see, Lilith” she smiled- though only for a moment. “Not sure if you just happened to be nearby or your ‘father’ sent you, either way- you have my thanks- assuming you're the one who tended to us” she said as she turned to her allies and approached them close enough as she made a set of hand seals allowing medical infused water to spread enough to only encompass the trio. This allowed for further healing, as she focused on this she glanced overhead due to a shadow being casted on the ground, seeing an armored person flying overhead. “Urm hi?” she laughed a bit.

Any reason other reason you’re here, Lilith?” she turned her attention back to the Creation.


(Iryō Suiton: Vu~arukirī no Yuri Kago) Medical Water Style: Valkyrie's Cradle
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 60 (-20 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: A combination of Water Release and Medical Ninjutsu, Valkyrie's Cradle combines the former’s ability as a medium to transmit medical chakra to create a healing solution. By performing four handseals the user releases vast quantities of medical chakra-infused water that can reach up to mid-range in any direction of their choosing. Reaching up to ankle length, this pool of water is able to accelerate the body’s healing of any within its confines by having medical chakra seep into the body. While it can’t heal above the maximum health capacity, this technique can heal up to 40 physical damage per turn. Once contact is lost with the water whether due to an enemy technique or simply stepping out of it, then the healing will stop. As an alternative release method, the user can focus this technique onto a singular target by encasing them in a cocoon-like shape of water, covering all but the target’s nose and mouth. Due to the precise chakra control of Medical Ninja, the water used for this technique is pure, without impurities or salt content, making it nonconductive. This acts as a defense against incoming heat or electricity-based elements as the water molecules dissipate the energy of attacks of equal strength, requiring it to be overpowered to be destroyed.

Notes:
- This technique can last for up to three turns and can only be used twice per battle, requiring a three-turn cool down between each use.
- This technique requires a mastery of Medical Ninjutsu and Water Release to use.

Mira was the first to awaken. She looked disappointed at first as if she had realized she had lost something or to something. When she asked what she was doing there, Lilith sat doen, with her hands still clapped together and her eyes shut. With a calm tone she replied.


You’re eager. First i need to know you’re alright. Yeah, i healed all three of you. You’re nakama afterall.

She then continued.

Me and otosan are looking to challenge something like this. I.. think, but he is far away. He saw your battered bodies via his Tenseigan and sent me to give you a hand and ask about your experience.

At this point her chakra would replenish.

Cold air swept into her lungs as Nadja coughed and breathed deeply rolling over onto the flat of her back looking up at the sky, with her body aching all over, joints and muscles tender and swollen. She hadnt expected to be alive much less awake, and it took her a minute to process what happened and with her eyes scanning around realizing where she was. Voices drifted in and out of her mind as they spoke, but Nadja was barely paying attention to them while she laid there recovering. She wasn't sure if she was more embarrassed about what happened or terrified of the overwhelming power she saw from the tailed beast and wondered if the Rift was what she thought it was. Something like a snapshot in time where they were transported back all those years ago when the Kyuubi destroyed the town, which if true, would have some serious and strange implications, especially time travelling as well as being in the past and present.....
It hurt too much to think about all of that right now, placing a hand out she looked at it from her viewpoint on the floor and observed her hand and arm, despite the pain that it was lifting it up. Exhaustion had hit Nadja like a ton of bricks and although her body was recovering for some reason, some healing performed, the sheer mental exhaustion and energy from her body had caught up with her. Letting her hand flop back down to the ground she laid there, wondering what was going to happen, and then remembering her comrades that were with her.

I wonder if they're....
drifting off, she could hear a voice in the background, albeit fuzzy but unmistakably the higher pitched voice of the blue haired woman she had been working with.
Well I guess shes still alive, but what about the other one...
Nadja wasn't overly attached, she hadn't exactly formed friendships with them, but merely convienent allies for the fight, though admittedly concern for their wellbeing crept into Nadja's thoughts wondering if she could have done more to protect or help them.

Letting out a deep sigh as she lay there thinking, Nadja let go of all her stress and exhaustion feeling it wash away as she pushed it down out through the bottom of her feet like an imaginary energy wave rolling over her, sliding away and out of sight.

Mirabelle took a moment to ponder on what Lilth said- using some unique words she’s never heard before. This however warned a smile on her face, as she continued to heal the ladies up a little bit more before finally releasing the technique. They should be perfectly fine now, though the sleeping beauties might need a little more time to gather their bearings.

I see; well I don’t have anything worth mentioning, tell your father to mind his business” she would have said, as she initially started with a dismissive wave. This alongside an infusion of Yin Energy dropped Lilith into an illusion- but not one might deem, hurtful. It was one of the few techniques in her arsenal capable of doing this.

Don’t be alarmed, I’m using this illusion to convey the information without telling anyone else nearby. Not sure if you had an immunity as well, so I needed to…brute force my way in. Either way, within that rift specifically…it’s dangerous. If I had to give you my assumption, it’s a rift to the past. It takes you literally about 13 years in the past to this location- where the Nine Tails tarnished the Freehold. I would know…I was there” the illusion version of Mirabelle said with a sigh.

It’s powerful. However, I think we can beat it- though not quite at the moment for myself…I need to train some more before I step foot into any more of these rifts. If you intend on taking the challenge, please take some allies with you as it will be a difficult task. That’s all there really is to it” she finished, with the illusion dispelling and Mirabelle tending to her wounds. She looked back at Lilith with a brief smile and wink, a symbol to keep their little exchange a secret from anyone else. She wasn’t against sharing information- but being in these foreign lands; which in irony was once her own home, leads to her being unwilling to do so unless its of some benefit to herself or humanity.

She was in the Land of the Goddess of Knowledge- and with reason she kept her eyes aware of anyone attempting to converse with her about the rift. She would have noticed Nadja awakening now- and she gave her a soft smile. "Sorry, seems like we failed"


( Genjutsu: Ba-doko-ru Ninnin ) Illusion Technique: Myriad of Mockingbirds
Rank: B
Type: Supplmentary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20 (-5 per turn)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This is a very discrete genjutsu, both in it's casting and it's effect. To cast, the user simply needs to do an hand gesture, in the direction of the target. It doesn't change anything about surroundings with the exception of people, and the immediate terrain they're placed. In essence, it allows the user to change how someone perceives someone else, and even create illusionary copies of people the user knows. The illusion is complimented with slight changes to the terrain, like bending foliage, opening doors, etc, but only if manipulated by the illusionary people. It can also remove people from the target's perspective, or remove certain characteristics of someone within sensory range of the target. While inside the genjutsu, the target is free to move and speak, which the user is able to respond through any of the illusionary creations, or him/herself, case the user chooses not to disappear.
It masks slight ambient alteration by "hidden" people, such as footsteps and speech, but not techniques. Likewise, the illusionary people can't perform techniques, only speak and interact through body motions.
*Lasts 4 turns max*
*While using it, the user cannot use any additional Genjutsu on the target and is limited to 2 additional techniques per turn*
(Inton: Gogyou Gen) – Yin Release: Five Elements Illusion (Fire)
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A (+50 chakra cost to applied technique)
Description: This technique allows the user to combine their elemental chakra with Yin Release in order to create stronger, more potent Genjutsu. When the user casts a Genjutsu, rather than using their raw chakra they will use one of the basic elemental natures, thus increasing the potency of the jutsu. This technique increases the technique it is applied to by one rank in strength; due to the massive infusion of chakra a Genjutsu empowered by the Five Elements Illusion can penetrate through any passive defense or subversive method against Genjutsu. By using nature chakra rather than raw chakra, the properties of the Genjutsu can change in accordance to that nature and become stronger. For example, using Crushing Snake Constriction with Fire Release chakra would make the snakes appear, feel, and sound as though they were on fire. The user is free to alter the effects of a Genjutsu within reason as long as the primary effects remain the same. Like other Yin-Yang infusions, this technique only increases the chakra within the technique by an additional rank in strength, or 10, whichever is higher.
Note: Can only be used 6 times per battle.
Note: Cannot be used on techniques above S-Rank.
Note: Yin Release Specialists and Yin-Yang users can use advanced elements and CE

HP: 230

Lilith raised an eyebrow as she ended her meditation. Her chakra supplies were filled now. The unknown woman moved albeit seemed to be in a psychological vacuum, testing out her mobility. She was probably in some sort of pain still. Before Lilith could do much about that she felt a huge surge of chakra stemming from Mirabelle. She also pointed her hand towards her and suddenly she was sub-consciously traversed from reality. Here, Mirabelles words echoed in a fiery tone. Not angry, but determined. Perhaps she used a Genjutsu to acquiesce Lilith so that nobody else would hear her words. Lilith, like Mirabelle beckoned, would not be alarmed. She would feel no stress on her mind and let her continue her Genjutsu without making an attempt to break it. There was literally no need. Unsure if she could reply in this conscious domain, she only listened carefully for what Mirabelle said to her here was of great importance. Trying to fathom the facts that the three of them had been cast out of a rift worried her. Let alone having all of them hurt like this. It was a worry that was underlined when Mirabelle told of great risks and to enter these things with allies. Lilith knew, fighting with allies was not her fathers priority. Unless of course Kotetsu would show up. The Genjutsu ended on its own accord. Since Lilith was no fool she would only nod as a reply to Mirabelle and appear suddenly uninterested.

Wakarimashita, i am just glad i could help a friend out. I hope the cataclysm didnt.. strike too hard on you. Me? Ive just grown tougher.

She winked back at Mirabelle. She then placed her palm on the mystery woman.

You might be down but you’re not defeated, not if i can help it.
She turned to Mirabelle again.

Who is this anyway? A friend of yours or Isabella?

Ruins of Chungsu. Arthur, Order of the Golden Amputation

Background
It had been 14 years since terror truly gripped his homeland. The beast brought death and destruction the likes of which he'd never seen in his life, though that was until 2 years ago. The cataclysm that cost him everything. Arthur, now 56, was once a family man, he had two daughters and a beautiful wife. During the night of terror 14 years ago, he and his family had managed to escape death as the Kyubi slaughtered all it's path. Arthur was a simple trades man. He grew his own produce to sell at the local markets. He was no warrior, he had no intention of being one. He loved his simple life with his loving family and blessed every day for 12 years, that he and his family survived that terror.​
This was until two years ago. Arthur and his family had been living in the north, travelling around as a merchant family, enjoying the world for what it was. They avoided the costal towns due to the horrors they heard on the roads. It was a quiet life until the heavens rained down, reshaping the earth itself. Though a terrifying experience, it was the aftermath that ruined the life Arthur had built. The world fell into chaos, the pits of Hell seemed to be unleashed upon the world, claiming everything they could, including the lives of Arthur's wife and daughters. He'd been to the local market seeking to trade his barley grown on his homestead, though upon returning, the horrors he found were unspeakable, too foul to even describe. Arthur fell, a broken man, consumed by his pain. There he remained.​

Current times
Arthur sat smoking his pipe in his chair at the front of his house. Since the strange portal seemed to open, many had come through these lands, asking about it, seeking to enter it. Arthur watched each day as more arrived. He saw a trio enter together at first. Another tried, though seemed unable to follow. Days passed where the portal shimmered, from it the bodies of the first three that had entered. What ever happened in there was truly menacing. Arthur took not of all that then transpired, the next participants to enter, the divine being asking questions and the answers given. He felt renewed pain from 14 years ago hearing them speak of the 9 tails.​
He rose from his chair going to the back of his house. Arthur had no proficiency for fighting or ninja arts, though he could train birds. He attached a coded note to a bird, releasing it to his saviour. He returned to his chair, being far enough away to not be of notice, but close enough to witness and hear all.​

Mirabelle thought for a moment on how to address Lilith. “I see, well as I said- tell your father I owe him a favor in return”, she smiled. “The cataclysm huh…” Mirabelle remembered the finale of the old world. “I suppose quite a bit has changed since then. You have two nieces that would like to meet you sometime” she mused but as she asked about Nadja and her relationship.

She’s an acquaintance of mine, so close to a friend but note quite” she said with honesty. She turn to Nadja and extended a hand to her. “Sadly we might not see one another any time soon- but I wish you well on your adventures; please take this” she said reaching into her pouch and handing a communications scroll. “If you ever need a hand as well- just give me a shout”

(Fuuinjutsu: Kami Komyunikēshon) Sealing Arts: Scroll Communication technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: N/A
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description:
The user will create 2 or more scrolls with an embedded sealing formula that connects them all together. As such, anything written in one scroll will appear written in all the connected scrolls. A very useful communication technique, it can connect scrolls regardless of the distance between them. To activate the scroll, the user needs to perform a key of hand seals that will be unique for each creation and only known to those the user wishes, preventing the use of the scrolls by those the user doesn't allow.

Laying there with her arms outstretched like a doll that has been left on the floor with time passing as she thought about her next steps, not paying any attention to the voices around her. Regret in the back of her head began to bubble if Nadja didnt find out who recovered her from the state she was in and slightly turning her head, she saw a woman that wasnt there before, standing and talking with Nadja's new acquaintance, Mirabelle. She was unsure about the circumstance, whether to err on the side of caution or if it would be better to take the opportunity to make connections as she barely knew anything about those that were around her right now. With strength returning to her body in the form of energy and determination to rise, Nadja got to her feet and began patting down her clothes to shake the dust off. While most of it had been singed and having a few rips by some fortune or bad luck the explosion was mostly forceful shockwave sending them flying backwards before the fire could incinerate them and the clothes they had. Well it would mean taking a day to repair or perhaps a day to check out the markets for a new outfit.

As Nadja's observing became more into the situation around her, the woman Mirabelle had just offered a scroll, and Nadja's eye focused and analysed the scroll. It made no sense to give some kind of trap right now, though the other woman could be an infiltrator or accomplice of Mirabelle's, as such there may be malicious intent behind it. Though considering the fight they just had and the woman healing up Nadja, there was a smaller and smaller chance of that happening, though Nadja was still wary and wasn't sure what to think. Could they be trusted or was it just to try and keep tabs on Nadja, but as far as she knew, they had never met before, so at least there was nothing Nadja could think of that might cause foul play.

"I . . . "
Nadja took the scroll in her hand pausing for a moment internally considering whether to take it or throw it away. Nadja was slow to trust but after everything recently Mirabelle at least seemed like she was trying to be nice.
"will let you know" Nadja finished.

Placing it into her bag, she turned and looked around, a small flush coming to her cheeks as she wanted to leave and recuperate from the near death experience. After taking the kind gesture, Nadja knew it would be in bad taste to leave without saying anything and so with a heaving breath she swallowed her pride to say she was leaving. Although she was leaving and telling them, it wouldn't have to mean she had to look them in the face to tell them. Half beaten pride and half self identity, Nadja spoke as she began walking away, ready to move on to recover on her own terms.

"I appreciate the healing, but I will need to go recover and check into a few things on my own, this Rift... well if more of these come about, they could cause a lot of chaos for the world.
For now Im going to . . . "

She couldn't finish the sentence to explain to them what she was feeling.

Isabella slowly rose up to life, her memories blurred but still cohesive enough to know one thing. Their endeavor had been a failure.

As the women around her continued their incessant chat, Isabella meditated, feeling every corner of her body and mind. It appeared that she had suffered great damage, but had been healed by Yang energy. Although slightly unnecessary, Mirabelle's chakra had seeped into her body and carried on with Isabella's healing.

Without much fuss, the Red Haired Uchiha woke up, her Sharingan in place. Though it was strange. Her vision filled with the chakra map of what was and what had been, and she could feel the traces of the team that went through the Rift after Liz had been ejected. What she couldn't feel was her connection to the void. Focusing chakra through her hands, she Diagnosed her condition, finding nothing in her body, until she moved up to her eyes.

( Doujutsu: Sharingan ) Eye Technique: Copy Wheel Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C - A Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 - 30 ( -5 per turn for 1T and 2T, 10 per turn to keep active for 3T )
Damage: N/A
Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Sharingan is the kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. Unlike the other Dōjutsu, not all members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Sharingan. This great Dōjutsu seems to awaken only on exceptional Uchiha members and only in times of great stress. Once awaken, the pupil turns red and a single tomoe (巴) seal appears around the center pupil. As the user masters and evolves their eyes, the tomoe (巴) seals increase, topping 3 per eye. The main ability of the Sharingan, like any other Dōjutsu, is to enable the user to see the flow of chakra. This ability is further improved as the Sharingan gives color to chakra, enabling the user to differentiate chakras from different people or from different sources. Although the user can see chakra through matter, he cannot see beyond dense matter or in long distances. Coupled with the ability to see chakra, Sharingan users gain acess to an incredible clarity of perception that enables them to read insanely fast movements or minor details, enabling them the ability to foresee in an easier way, traps, incoming attacks, etc. This clarity of perception is so great that a Sharingan user can sometimes start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed, enabling the counter to be launched only a split a second after the attack. This clarity of perception leaves Sharingan users able to track high speed movement easily as well as to read through handseals. This last ability enables them to learn techniques much faster and sometimes copy them directly from the enemy, as long as the user has the necessary chakra affinities and requirements to perform it. Finally, the Sharingan is often linked to Genjutsu and mind-manipulating illusions, mostly because the user can, mostly through Eye Contact, directly and precisely use his chakra to manipulate the enemy's chakra flow. In return, the users clarity of perception gives him the ability to more easily decipher visual illusions cast upon him and see past them. The Sharingan has a great cost to the user though. The chakra consumption disables its use for long periods of time and, even when the user grows stronger, it's still hard to keep it active for long periods of time.
Note: The user, if he hasn't gained full mastery over his Sharingan, will need to spend a move to activate it, although as long as he has chakra and enough stamina he'll be able to keep it active until the end of the match. If the user is Sannin Rank or above and has gained his 3 Tomoe Sharingan and held it for one month, he becomes able to passively activate it, meaning he'll no longer spend a move of his 3 per turn.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill
Note: C rank usage is for 1T Sharingan, B rank usage is reserved for 2T Sharingan. A Rank usage is reserved for 3T Sharingan.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: Danzo and Kakashi bios activate the Sharingan by removing the covers in their respective eyes and suffer a +10 chakra consumption per turn penalty
Note: The user is bound by the abilities and limits of the stage of sharingan he possesses, stated in the rules of the KG.

It was hard to describe, but lingering traces of Emiya's chakra were there, like a slash. She was unable to call upon the Void or the Shinkaigan. Isabella remembered the Uchiha's weapon, and archived the hints to herself. If this is what her allies were capable of, then perhaps her decision to trust humanity had been wrong afterall.

At this point, she had to acknowledge her teammates and Lilith, who had saved her.

Thank you for your help. Its bittersweet, since it allowed us to meet you again, but it reminds me of the failure we just went through. I thank you as well, Nadja, for your effort.
I have some place to be, I'll be taking my leave now.


With the same Genjutsu as Mirabelle, she still conveyed her intention to find a Marketplace to her friend, and solely her..

Going to have you walk this post back for pretty severe metagaming. Because you just left the landmark I won't reset your travel but I will point out this in your post:

"It was hard to describe, but lingering traces of Emiya's chakra were there, like a slash. She was unable to call upon the Void or the Shinkaigan. Isabella remembered the Uchiha's weapon, and archived the hints to herself. If this is what her allies were capable of, then perhaps her decision to trust humanity had been wrong afterall."

There's no way you can ascertain this information. Isabella was unconscious and the Sharingan can't tell someone's "lingering chakra" (Is lingering chakra even a thing?) apart from others to the point where you know it was Emiya. Likewise, you can't discern it was a slash in the first place. There is no visible wound left behind from Tsumukari. It was a conceptual attack. So this entire paragraph is just textbook metagaming. All you can learn from this post is that you're unable to activate your Shinkaigan (for the remainder of the arc, or indefinitely if you want I don't care either way).

With Mirabelle nodding towards Nadja, she would have soon turned to notice the little red princess had awakened from slumber. Moment’s after she spoke, she placed an illusion on Mirabelle- with the latter telling Matatabi not to release it. She conveyed the information nodded in return.

“Well, time to go…” she said but before then she would trigger two passive techniques. The first of them being her controlling her clothing to shapeshift into a new pair of them and into a nicer form fitting dress. Her hair coloration shifted as well, becoming red in color to represent her Uzumaki heritage.

Now, if you’ll excuse me- I have places to be. Lilith, take care of yourself, ok? I live in Dawnport in Kamiyasumi- you can find me there once I’m back. I’ve got a little bit of things to take care of” she mused as she turned.

Her eyes glancing now at the floating woman. "Anything to say? You seems distracted" she said towards the General of Solana (unknown to her).

"Lilith carries Darkiscie and GM by default" - To wield two cw in one fight and meet the requirements to do so, a creation would need to have a speciality. Creations can no longer have a speciality, making this statement in your bio null. In your fights you need to state the weapon or update your bio to clarify which Lilith holds

Last issue, that I was originally asked to check was regarding the defensive purpose of the Hamura statue, which I'll answer with a direct quote from Lok:
Mirabelle thought for a moment on how to address Lilith. “I see, well as I said- tell your father I owe him a favor in return”, she smiled. “The cataclysm huh…” Mirabelle remembered the finale of the old world. “I suppose quite a bit has changed since then. You have two nieces that would like to meet you sometime” she mused but as she asked about Nadja and her relationship.

She’s an acquaintance of mine, so close to a friend but note quite” she said with honesty. She turn to Nadja and extended a hand to her. “Sadly we might not see one another any time soon- but I wish you well on your adventures; please take this” she said reaching into her pouch and handing a communications scroll. “If you ever need a hand as well- just give me a shout”


(Fuuinjutsu: Kami Komyunikēshon) Sealing Arts: Scroll Communication technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: N/A
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description:
The user will create 2 or more scrolls with an embedded sealing formula that connects them all together. As such, anything written in one scroll will appear written in all the connected scrolls. A very useful communication technique, it can connect scrolls regardless of the distance between them. To activate the scroll, the user needs to perform a key of hand seals that will be unique for each creation and only known to those the user wishes, preventing the use of the scrolls by those the user doesn't allow.

@Skorm @Zatanna
Laying there with her arms outstretched like a doll that has been left on the floor with time passing as she thought about her next steps, not paying any attention to the voices around her. Regret in the back of her head began to bubble if Nadja didnt find out who recovered her from the state she was in and slightly turning her head, she saw a woman that wasnt there before, standing and talking with Nadja's new acquaintance, Mirabelle. She was unsure about the circumstance, whether to err on the side of caution or if it would be better to take the opportunity to make connections as she barely knew anything about those that were around her right now. With strength returning to her body in the form of energy and determination to rise, Nadja got to her feet and began patting down her clothes to shake the dust off. While most of it had been singed and having a few rips by some fortune or bad luck the explosion was mostly forceful shockwave sending them flying backwards before the fire could incinerate them and the clothes they had. Well it would mean taking a day to repair or perhaps a day to check out the markets for a new outfit.

As Nadja's observing became more into the situation around her, the woman Mirabelle had just offered a scroll, and Nadja's eye focused and analysed the scroll. It made no sense to give some kind of trap right now, though the other woman could be an infiltrator or accomplice of Mirabelle's, as such there may be malicious intent behind it. Though considering the fight they just had and the woman healing up Nadja, there was a smaller and smaller chance of that happening, though Nadja was still wary and wasn't sure what to think. Could they be trusted or was it just to try and keep tabs on Nadja, but as far as she knew, they had never met before, so at least there was nothing Nadja could think of that might cause foul play.


"I . . . "
Nadja took the scroll in her hand pausing for a moment internally considering whether to take it or throw it away. Nadja was slow to trust but after everything recently Mirabelle at least seemed like she was trying to be nice.
"will let you know" Nadja finished.

Placing it into her bag, she turned and looked around, a small flush coming to her cheeks as she wanted to leave and recuperate from the near death experience. After taking the kind gesture, Nadja knew it would be in bad taste to leave without saying anything and so with a heaving breath she swallowed her pride to say she was leaving. Although she was leaving and telling them, it wouldn't have to mean she had to look them in the face to tell them. Half beaten pride and half self identity, Nadja spoke as she began walking away, ready to move on to recover on her own terms.


"I appreciate the healing, but I will need to go recover and check into a few things on my own, this Rift... well if more of these come about, they could cause a lot of chaos for the world.
For now Im going to . . . "

She couldn't finish the sentence to explain to them what she was feeling.

They had all left at this point. Lilith had done her job and was set to sail away once again and reunite with her father. She had learned that these rifts really tears people down, mentally and physically. It was still good to hear that despite their endeavors, despite the long passing of time, they had remembered her. Not only that, they had treated her as a friend still. Through her mental link to Alucard she spoke.

*Well, i have news..*
His voice echoed back.

*So i saw, come back here now.*
With her left hand she stroked the Darkiscie blade that was clinging to her back. With her right hand she held the last stump of a cigarette that she dropped to the ground and put out with her foot. She looked forwards to the horizon.

We're still not alone in this cursed world.. Perhaps we never will be.
She flapped her wings and left the scene. Being the harbinger of the Hellsing Organization, she had enhanced and provided additional reputation for it providing this service. But it wasn't all just business. Lilith truly cared for Mirabelle and Isabella afterall. Whether she'd meet Nadja again, time would tell. She had an interesting outlook for sure.

Solanaceae Interaction


As certainly one might anticipate, much had begun to unfold in such a short span of time. The series of coming and goings that left little room for opportunity to interpret or even interfere in what might be happening between the parties for anyone that might be an outsider looking in. That is, save for obviously one celestial being in particular. As the first party to have entered the Rift was seemingly ejected from its depths and onto the cool, granite streets of Solanaceae, one thing seemed to appear certain by the state of them: Whatever it was that they had faced within the confines of the cosmic tear had done severe harm to them, and no doubt left little to be desired in the form of an easy victory, which they hardly seemed the sort to have achieved such a thing..

The Arbiter remained in their idled position from before, having seemingly concluded in their dialogue with the second party of three that had readily prepared themselves for their turn at facing the unknown of the Rift. The Being merely observed for quite some time, watching as the party remained unconscious upon the ground. One might have expected for something to share the appearance with an Angelic being that they'd likely be compelled by virtues and morality to assist those in need, especially when within the boundaries of their own domain. Yet the Arbiter did not move; instead, remained patiently in place, observing the interactions with careful inquisitive observation of how each of the second party reacted to the appearance and condition of the first. The Divergent Soul was cold and indifferent, speaking only long enough to observe that the first party "didn't win," while moving to immediately take their place as the next contestant for the Rift. The Noble Soul seemed just as disassociated toward the wounded party, though her expression spoke more of a sincere inability to help, rather than a blatant unwillingness to do so. The capacity to understand ones own limitations so as to avoid causing greater harm is a trait certainly lacking in most these days.

Finally, the Honest Soul. The red-haired boy seemed the only one out of the three to bargain with his time enough to offer some of it to the attention of the unconscious. While he did not seem to delve into the effort of healing them, or even asserting much attention to their conditions at all, he instead began to speak. Such behavior was certainly odd to the Arbiter.. Why would one speak to that which cannot presently hear, or comprehend? Yet the Being made no effort to interject with such curiosity, but instead opted to pay close mind to what the Honest Soul was saying.. He expressed a sense of sincere regret toward a part of the party, only to then turn his full attention toward another, where he began to speak with a sense of familiarity that -at the very least- offered a clear means of determining a history that existed between them. From the addressal of the unconscious woman's capacity to seek outside help and the reflection of growth toward trust in the eyes of the one speaking to her, to the mention of a bygone conflict, Nefarian, and the hint of the tragedy that transpired relating to it. Such a level of sincerity and approach would seem wholly endearing, were it not being done in such a precarious manner.

Then, just when he seemed to conclude his words to the unconscious woman of red, the very air surrounding the boy seemed to change, as if in pure recognition of the shift in his demeanor toward the same woman he only spoke to in a familiar, friendly tone mere moments ago. While he spoke with a sharpness, his words laced in venomous spite as he regarded someone -or something- both the same and different than the woman he still focused on; as if a whole other half existed beyond the awareness of all else present. While his actions that followed were well worth the observation alone, to witness him execute a woundless strike toward the woman, only for he himself to then reflect harm done instead, one detail spoken had caused far more of a stir to the Arbiter, the mere mention of which was enough to cause a tilt of their head in response: Enkidu.. The mention of the name notably peeked the interest of the Arbiter, yet the Being made no effort despite that to interfere with the remainder of the interaction, nor to engage long after the Honest Soul had concluded his matters all together. In such a small span of time, much had happened that was well worth the Being's presence to observe.

Not long after all seemed said and done and the remainder of the second party departed, the first party had finally received the aid that they required. While the Arbiter no doubt had the means in some way, shape or form to provide the assistance that they needed, they had not been given such an order as to heal or save any who came into contact with the Rift, but instead to merely observe and interact as it seemed appropriate, so indeed, that was what they aimed to do; nothing more and nothing less. As the party began to come to their senses one after the other, to which their own intermingling engagements had begun to take place, one of them in particular had taken attention of the Arbiter; a woman of blue and black tones riddled almost entirely throughout her appearance, from her attire, to the contrast of her eyes, to the highlights of her hair. While she had not known the celestial Being was there, she seemed to have a rather odd level of comfortability in the way she addressed the Arbiter, as if all too familiar with speaking to otherwise complex being's such as them. As she inquired into the Arbiter's presence, the Being merely offered a subtle, slow nod in recognition before speaking. "Hello, Child of Creation. I am pleased to see that you have made a generous recovery after the experience you have just been through. I am an Arbiter of Solanaceae, sent to oversee the events that transpire in relation to this anomaly. Should you be of the mind for it, Solanaceae will be glad to receive what information you may have to share with regards to this Rift and your experience within its depths."

Should you be of the mind for it, Solanaceae will be glad to receive what information you may have to share with regards to this Rift and your experience within its depths."

Finally, Mirabelle thought to herself. The weird being started to speak back and what caught her attention was the soft yet affirming tone of her voice. Mirabelle was uncomfortably…comfortable- a lack of better explanation cannot be provided at the moment. They would introduce themselves as an Arbiter of Solanaceae- which caused an almost immediate frown to knit into her brows. “I see…” she said before tilting at a very slight angle.

So you work for her Majesty, Aureliana. That’s good to know, but before I even indulge in the idea of sharing such information, allow me to propose an alternative…why should I? You could have easily entered on your own, or sent someone else to investigate- but you wish to gain information from others without experiencing first hand” she said crossing her arms. The maiden herself held gripes on how she felt about Abzu’s offspring now ‘ruling’ their shattered world.

I don’t think its fair, having almost died…that I should just willingly give up such information for free.

She didn’t want to help this nation- it meant nothing to her as it was built on the place she once called her home in the past.

Finally, Mirabelle thought to herself. The weird being started to speak back and what caught her attention was the soft yet affirming tone of her voice. Mirabelle was uncomfortably…comfortable- a lack of better explanation cannot be provided at the moment. They would introduce themselves as an Arbiter of Solanaceae- which caused an almost immediate frown to knit into her brows. “I see…” she said before tilting at a very slight angle.

So you work for her Majesty, Aureliana. That’s good to know, but before I even indulge in the idea of sharing such information, allow me to propose an alternative…why should I? You could have easily entered on your own, or sent someone else to investigate- but you wish to gain information from others without experiencing first hand” she said crossing her arms. The maiden herself held gripes on how she felt about Abzu’s offspring now ‘ruling’ their shattered world.

I don’t think its fair, having almost died…that I should just willingly give up such information for free.

Solanaceae Interaction
The Arbiter listened on in persistent attention that would have otherwise been almost entirely unidentifiable due to the nature of their sheer lack of a visible face, thus the lack of any clear or defining expression or eye contact. Holding a conversation with such a Being no doubt came with its own complications; most of which would only seem to benefit the Arbiter if anyone at all. While it might make for a few misunderstandings as a possibility, it would most assuredly guarantee that the element of composure was forever in their favor.

As the woman began to speak out, the Arbiter could sense a sort of distain and vilification toward Solanaceae and those that made up its hierarchy, yet the Being couldn't help but associate it in what could only seem to be pleading efforts to try and amp up her own conviction to such a perspective without ever truly being wronged by them personally. The Arbiter would identify a few key choice points of the narrative she was speaking in: The mention of "fairness" as though she even truly believed in such a thing, yet would clearly seem far more attuned to the notion of the universes' true scale it works in, and that it certainly wasn't in fairness..

Yet to "expect" information without first giving, but namely and most specifically as she put it, "without experiencing it firsthand." While the prior individual that had chosen to interact with the Arbiter was far more humble in their own position, yet even so opted to present the very same question that this woman was asking, she had instead opted to take a position of what seemed to be a sort of empiricist superiority, and certainly as a result, made her seem to swell in the sense of opportunity to press that perceived advantage, as far as the Arbiter could identify. After all, she wasn't inherently wrong: What did the Arbiter -or Solanaceae- have to offer in exchange for such a request? While the Arbiter was afforded a few options of presentable rewards for such a trade as incentive, a new approach had come to mind contrary to the other options given..

"You speak as if our Lady and her Children have done wrong by you. No doubt you perhaps still suffer from the recoil of the cosmic impact that came as a result of our arrival. You speak of fairness like one who knows it is vacant of meaning, yet fight to give it to those that mean most to you. That is why you use it to bargain, rather than as a creed to conduct your life by. A soul that is surrounded by ambition, so relies on action to supplant the echo of words you yourself are uncertain for why you speak them; an internal conflict, a choir of voices that you struggle to harmonize, yet forever aim to do so, despite the opposition you suffer as a result. You are a Sanguine Soul." The Arbiter paused a moment, as if only to allow for the effect of their words to settle upon the air afterward. While the words were purely analytical in nature -all things that were plucked from the observation of their conversation thus far with the woman- neither was what the Being said rooted in any tone of coldness or judgement. Every word seemed to echo in a hush of its own that imparted the intent of understanding and familiarity that one might only ever expect from someone that knew them well. As always, this sensation was only as powerful as the recipient allowed for it to be, yet its very nature and presence was at the very least undeniable.

As the Arbiter spoke, their form steadily began to shift, a result of the tendril-like appendages moving from place surrounding them. One after the other, they slowly began to glide steadily across the ground; like that of a gentle caress from a curious organism. In doing so, it would cause the Arbiter to steadily lower from their otherwise elevated state in the air. While not truly bringing their feet to touch the ground at any point, they were now at least closer to eye level with the woman before they continued to speak. "You seem to bare the desire to trade, then so shall we trade. But what is it that you hope to be offered in exchange for that to which you yourself have declared we can acquire ourselves, with or without your willfulness to share? Perhaps you would care to know of those that came after you: A party of three, Noble, Honest and Divergent and the wonder you might have of their intentions. Or perhaps you seek knowledge of those that came beside you: The woman of red that seems to share a tallied history with more than she may appear to embrace openly with those she might call friend. How well do you know of each? How much do you wish to know in kind for information that is presumably superficial in weighted value?"
