Fate
As Fate watched the room fall into chaos, she could only sigh. It had been over a thousand years since she had so much as spoken to another human being, much less be in tune with the subtle emotions of others. Even so, she should have expected for the children to act as such, even with the numerous chances she had given them for civility. For a moment, she thought about forcefully quieting them and bending them to her will. No. She couldn't do that, it would only distance them further. Besides, she wanted to give these humans another chance. She wanted to believe that these children, her last hope, could see that she was trying to help them. I suppose my lack of tact didn't help any....
Patience is the key. She would wait for them to come to her, without anger and without malicious intention. Then, she could speak with them calmly, and perhaps they would understand. She certainly didn't expect them to take it in stride, but she had no choice......there was so little time. So little time, before Destiny makes his move....
"Let's get to the point. You think we're gonna fight a war. Who are we fighting against? And what 'signs' are you talking about? And what's more, what's gonna happen to the wolf girl, the one that ran out?"
In response to this question and others like it, Fate said, "No harm will come to Akino, as long as she doesn't try to leave. Even so, the guardians of this mansion will not to harm her, but I cannot guarantee her safety from them should she insist." Fate stood. "We will be fighting against those who aim to destroy humanity, and even life itself. They seek to rip apart the space/time continuem, and to make for themselves a new world. A world...we will not be part of, because if they succeed then we will be dead. The Signs have long been a symbol of prophecy, but I cannot speak any more of it."
Fate bowed, the began to walk to the door, her clothes rippling. Before she left, she turned around and looked at Alex with a gentle smile at his soft expression. "As Fate, a harbringer of life and death, I swear this unto you all; I will protect your families, with all of my power, until our task is complete." As spoke these words, they seemed to flow with tremendous power, binding her to her promise. This power could be felt throughout the room, even to those who didn't have the gift of empathy.
"Now, I will take my leave. For those of you who can be calm, you are free to follow me as you wish. If you cannot...then please feel free to wander the mansion as you please, until you can be civil. Heed my warning, young ones; I will give to you the same as you give unto me. If you do not understand, then simply look at Rin as an example." And with that, she gathered her clothing and walked through the doorway.
[Rin Suji]
With everything going on, Rin only watched without a word. After all, he had been acting the same insane way just a few moments ago, and he was still on the verge of reverting back to it now. Rin closed his eyes. War...signs....destruction.....a new world.... To Rin, it sounded like something off of a crappy sci-fi movie. Even so....would he really be here if Fate was joking? She had healed him with but a touch, and crushed him like it was nothing. No, there was no way she was mortal, and she certainly didn't seem the type to waste her time on anything.
"As Fate, a harbringer of life and death, I swear this unto you all; I will protect your families, with all of my power, until our task is complete."
Rin could feel the strength that those words had, the unspoken contract. And so, because of that, he knew it to be true. She would protect Ben...Ben would be safe, especially so with someone like Fate. As if a giant wieght had been lifted, Rin sighed in relief.
"Heed my warning, young ones; I will give to you the same as you give unto me. If you do not understand, then simply look at Rin as an example."
Rin glared at Fate for the comment, then sighed. When he thought about it, it made sense. He did attack her first, and he had certainly meant to do what she had done to him. Luckily, even thought she could have killed him, she had only broken bones and even healed them after.
Even with the way he had acted, Rin still had questions that needed to be answered. And so, he decided to do his best to stay calm and follow Fate. Rin stood up and went over to the doorway, reaching it just as Fate passed through. Rin followed to see her walking down the hallway. He caught up to her.
"I'm....sorry. I was...worried, about....Ben." He quietly said to her as he walked beside her, a little tentatively. Fate smiled kindly at him.
"To be honest, child, I wish I hadn't set such a display of violence. I apologise. Ben is your younger brother, is that right?"
Rin frowned. "...yes. Where....is he? He's got....nowhere....to go...."
"I have placed Ben out of harm's way. I'm sorry I can't tell you his exact location, but rest assured that he is safe."
"..........."
"I know it isn't much, but I really am sorry."
"It's okay."
"What do you mean?" Fate asked, curiously, as they continued walking.
"I'll see him...again. No matter what."
At this, Fate smiled.
