CRyuka glanced at Kayama, as he spoke of his Persona. He already knew his thing's name? She only heard her Persona's voice, never really having a conversation with it. She felt her hands wrap around her necklace, and she looked down at it, finally looking at it. Her finger traced the wolf carving that ran around in a circle. As she looked at the center, her face morphed. It was a blue wolf that growled back at her. Was this what he had been talking about.
Igor smiled at the student, as he spoke the persona's name.
"Verethragna you say? The Fortune Arcana seems to have chosen you...." The man continued as his big round eyes peered into the student's eyes. He turned his gaze to the girl, and spoke towards her.
"And you...what is your persona's name?"
Ryuka hesitated, not sure what to say. She sighed inwardly to herself, and tried to focus in the mirror. The wolf's mouth seemed to move, as if to tell her the anwser that was just asked.
Ryuka watched it intently, as she spoke. "Fen...rir? She responded, trying to read what the wolf was saying. She gave a firmer nod, then said "Fenrir...is the wolf's name..." She said, a bit more with her confidence back. The wolf seemed pleased with that, as she let go of her mirror.
"Ah...The Chariot Arcana has chosen you." Igor responded, as he lifted something from the desk. He held a deck of cards in his gloved hands, on it's back was a opera mask with a dark and light shading. He picked two cards, and placed them on the desk. One card had a black wheel, and the center had a pointed up sword that lay across it. While the other card portrayed a man in a chariot pulled by what looked like two lions.
Though as the cards slid across the round table towards the students, it shifted into something else. The Fortune card shifted into a black figure, with a white mask as a face, holding a sword with a string of coffins behind it. The Chariot card shifted into a blue wolf, growling with chains round its neck and legs.
"Your personas have called you here for a task...To destroy the shadows that haunt this place called Tayles..." He trailed off, before then adding "Your personas have awakened to protect your mind from shadows...those monsters that tried to attack you earlier. And they will do so in this world as well..."
Ryuka paused to blink taking in the information. She picked up the card that was slid toward them, looking at her persona. Fenrir...a blue wolf that would protect her? It sounded like a fantasy book or something, again not something that happened in real life.
He continued on
"You two are aware of how this world is affected your own, correct? People falling asleep and never waking up again...that is this world's fault. The shadows draw in people, and keep them trapped here, while their minds are slowly devoured...You were drawn here to fix it. It is your destiny! The cards have foresaw it, and now you must follow it."
Ryuka didn't know how to respond to that whole thing, so she remained silent as the words sank in slowly. They were the reason why that epidemic was happening right now? It was hard to believe, after all most of the time the reason said was stress...She glanced at Kayama, as if asking what should we do?
