Power is for the Weak

First Encounter

Everything started back then. However, he remained quiet as he listened to what Celeste had to say, a little surprised that she was willing to be so open with him. The Hunters sounded as insane as they looked. They would kill those who no longer wished to remain within their ranks? Why? It didn’t pain humans as all innocent as most seemed to wish to believe. “The Change...I still look back and wonder just what they were thinking... why destroy so much? My parents were both healers - we always had use or gifts to help others - even though my sisters gift is more directed towards destruction, I think she can heal better than myself” he laughed weakly, lazily flicking through a book that laid nearby. “But over the years it’s been getting harder and harder to remain hidden. Hunters are developing technology that can detect us... that can enslave us... and the amount of Ather that the barrier around the city requires... I can think of only one way it could be powered but I wish to believe that I am wrong”

He rolled his eyes a little as he waited for the taller male to come to the obvious conclusion of having to walk. However - that rage that had just been shown was still playing before his eyes. He was only thankful that his sister was as far as possible from this man who had proven just how dangerous he truly was. And he thought it had been the little one they had to be weary of? He sighed, giving a small shrug as he moved to follow after the other - unsure of where it was that he was being taken to. And what was he suppose to do? Was he suppose to ask about what had just happened? If there was some bad blood between the two brothers? It made very little sense to have beaten someone so violently for attempting to end the life of something that you thought on as a bug or monster. Something to be destroyed. Lower than human. Whichever way you looked at it... it left a bitter taste in the back of his mouth. “...” he opened his mouth as though to ask about his thoughts but quickly closed it once more. He didn’t wish to accidentally trigger the Hunter’s rage. He was already feeling pretty weak just with having to wear the collar.

It may not be fair but he could understand as to why they needed to be more cautious. It was already nerve wrecking to have them both leave so often. They could blend in yes but he’d still worry for them. Sympathizers were seen to be as ‘evil’ as mages. “Hmm - she’d pouring so much energy into keeping this place safe and hardly ever takes enough food for herself out of our rations... maybe you can speak with her a little? Convince her that she needs to begin to look after herself more? A woman’s touch may help” He smiled softly, already feeling a little less down. Mana just had that ability - to make the world a little bit more lighter...

First Encounter

He smiled ever so slightly, it seemed as though this woman was a bit more sensitive that others he had met. “Oh. I do not believe that all hunters or humans are horrible - even if it may be that they see all mages within the same light” he sighed softly, “The children need protected. That is all that I wish to do - so I am thankful for you allowing her to return safely to my side” he paused then. He’d came here to better understand this hunter - what made her different from others. Perhaps it simply was that when she looked at them - she saw another living being - not some monster than had to be destroyed. “So what made you become a hunter then? If you do not mind me asking? I simply am rather curious about you...”

His heart was pained to see such a dear friend in such a position. Oh, he knew that Yugi would never betray them out of his own free will - but to risk punishment for the sake of keeping them safe? That too wasn’t something that he wished for him. Why did things have to be this way? Did the humans enjoy the way in with they tore apart friendships and families? Did they just see them as some wild animal? It felt that way at times. But he wasn’t about to hate the powers he had. He may not believe in a ‘god’ but he did believe they received these gifts for a reason. And it wasn’t just to be weapons. “We shall” he sighed and wrapped his arms back around his precious friend, wishing that he could offer so much more than small promises. He wished to protect him. He wished to protect them all but what hope was there in acheiving that? The humans kept coming up with new weapons against them and he feared to think on just how they had been tested. “Do what you need to do to keep safe okays” he sighed as their embrace was ended. He was glad Yugi was alive - he just hoped they would never have to fight against one another...

Hunter Vs Mage

Hana regarded Seto with a little more interest. There seemed to be something different about him, the slight change of emotions that seemed to enter those cold eyes when he’d learned that Eli had been her brother. Hana had long learned to suppress her own emotions. As the leader of the clan - she had to always be strong. She had to keep going, even as others fell around her - fighting her battle as almost all her own power was poured into protecting them from harm. Atem slowly gazed up, trying to ignore the twinge of pain felt at the look that Hana shot towards him. Yes. He was now an enemy. He could easily break through her wards - she’d need to move them all to new locations, no doubt she was already working on that at the moment. He sighed and was about to climb up to his feet when he froze as he heard Noah cry out, Hana’s replica moving to protect Sari - a bubble of water wrapping around the smaller made as Hana glared at Noah - only to be surprised as Seto interfered. Both Hana and Atem gazed in horror at the beating that then took place, Hana’s good thoughts about this man suddenly vanishing. What - how could one do such a thing to their brother? Even if the smaller one had proven to be a bit of an annoyance who would not listen to reason - there was little reason for his own brother to have attacked him in such a vicious rage. She glanced towards Atem who was now biting at his lip. It’d been a long time since he’d had to worry about suffering a fate like that. And she had to let them go. She wished so hard to save Atem like he had saved her so long ago - but for now that wasn’t possible. She turned, popping the bubble that Sari was in, taking the girls hand and half dragging her back towards the caves. Atem didn’t need to be told twice - but he was still in shock with everything to have happened, his legs shaking slightly as he stumbled over towards the horses. Just what was he getting himself into...and why was this Seto person seeming to be shaking as well? So many questions floated around his head but for now it was taking all his energy just to simply move. Course humans would never understand just how draining these collars could be. It was almost like cutting off air supply.

First Encounter

“My life is always on the line” he muttered softly but gave a small smile to show that he wasn’t meaning anything cruel by it. He glanced down at the book, giving a small smile as he saw the flower. Sari would be happy to know that she kept it. “I wished to meet up with you again - as I know that you allowed my sister to run free even after her cover had been blown. Fire starters can be difficult to teach...she’s still learning” He smiled weakly “Oh I have learned of some of your lessons... it’s foolish for so many humans to believe in them” he frowned and glanced up towards the sky for a few moments. He told himself that he wasn’t going to be mad or upset so he took a few breaths to stay calm, “You seem different - can I ask as to what made you help her?”

Hunter Vs Mage

He wiped blood from his nose. Even if Seto didn’t believe that he was in no state to give out threats - collar or no collar he would find a way to rip them both apart if even a single finger was placed upon his sister. His arms wrapped around her gently, nuzzling into the side of her neck as he spoke soft words to help calm her down. He knew that she would be mad for him giving in so easy but - he had to. Sari would stay with Hana and the others. Sari being safe was all that mattered... He sighed as she pulled gently away, the little girl wiping away tears from her slightly dirty face, a look of determination set on her young face as she glanced up to Seto, wondering if she was to be let past or not. Atem felt as though he was holding his breath the entire time that he knelt there watching her kneel down beside the other injured male. Sari sighed at the threat, closing her eyes for a moment as she laid her hands over the wound and tried to focus on stiching the skin back towards. Her brother had used a weapon designed to injure but not outright kill hunters. Usually the were aimed for legs or arms - something less lethal than sides and she frowned in concentration as she’d never worked on something this deep before. Hana stood near her, silently making sure she was doing as taught before she smiled sweetly towards Seto. “Well I suggest that you stop tracking us then” she sighed and glanced towards Atem who sat sat with his head lowered. So. He was willing to give in to protect Sari? Foolish but understandable. However having him as an enemy would be rather dangerous - “None. I am here for Sari. The others have gotten aware thanks to my friends fighting abilites” she sighed softly, “However you took the life of my brother. I do hope you give me no other reason to hate you and your family” Sari took in another deep and calming breath, more light flowing inside Noah then around both he and Sari - pain travelling through Noah but when the light faded his wound was healed - though he would feel rather exhausted. Sari, leapt to her feet and ran over to hide behind Hana, Atem biting at his lip in frustration. “Leave now” Hana said, looking up towards Seto, “You’ve taken the life of my brother and the freedom of my best friend. Leave before you can make me even more enraged”

Hidden Beauty

He gave a weak, nervous smile towards her. Yes - he was really bad at directions and within these caves that were more or less designed to get people lost - it wasn’t that rare for others to find him wondering around with a somewhat lost look.  “Do you need any help? Those books must be heavy? I’ll trade you this fruit” he chuckled slightly, blinking a little as the thumb was rubbed over his cheeks. Was she concerned for him?  “… I’ve been scouting a lot more these nights. Hana seemed convinced that we may be attacked or discovered soon. Her seals keep being discovered…I think she’s a little jumpy…” 

First Encounter

Sari smiled brightly as the flower was accepted. She seemed like such a strange person to be a Hunter. All the ones she’d ran into in the past had been rather vicious in nature and seemed to just blindly hate all mages. Why was it so hard for humans to realise that Mages truly were like them? Humans had a scale of ‘bad’ to ‘good’ - as did Mages.  She smiled and gave a short bow towards her before running over to let Atem lift her once more, the boy gazing towards Celeste with curiosity shinning in his eyes. He gave a slow nod, noting the location where she said she could be found when off duty. He would like the chance of talking to her when it wasn’t anything dangerous to either group.  Which was why he took to resting out at the library ruins for the next few days, wishing to run into this person who had helped out his sister. She was rather… interesting - for a human anyway.

Atem sighed softly to himself. He wanted to trust his old friend so badly but at the moment he had to be on guard. thankfully though it seemed as though Yugi understood the situation that they were in at the moment. Perhaps that was the reason as to why Atem had decided to stop acting as though Yugi was about to attack him at any moment - walking over to wrap his arms around his old friend, smiling ever so slightly. He’d missed him. If there was some way to keep him here then he would but circumstances are…annoying.  “I am glad that you are alive” he whispered softly, slowly pulling back from him as he watched over him. Other than that annoying collar around his friends neck - he seemed rather well at least. He smiled softly and gently pulled away, stretching for a moment as he stretched “We’ll fortify the area and we are thankful for the warning… I wish we knew of a way to free you… for now just stay safe… okay?”
