β€œWell done,” Erion heard someone say. β€œI’m impressed. You may have been able to handle the three of these chumps, but you might want to get them on your team this time, because I assure you, I’m much more than you can handle.”

He whipped around, to find a dark haired young man in a black overcoat had stepped forward from the crowd. There was something... familiar about the young man, but it took him a moment to put his finger on exactly what that sense of nostalgia was.

His accent, the slant and shape of his eyes, his skin tone, even his long, dark hair: He reminded him of Isshin, the man from the Eastern Lands who had taught him swordsmanship.

"Well... " He said with a thoughtful smile, as he walked over to him. "This was supposed to be a training exercise for the night guard. I'm not sure it would be prudent of me to allow a civilian to participate. I'm Eri- Um, Captain Erion Taranis, by the way. And who might you be, my friend from the East?"

........................................................................

Tamryn saw the exchange between the two young men, but took no interest in it, and no one took any interest in him as he hobbled away from the gathering. All that he could think of as he made his way towards his home was his wounded pride.

"Damn it!" He growled through gritted teeth. "Overlooked for the Captain's position... beaten by that cocky little bastard Erion. This is wrong! It's all wrong!"

He punched the side of a nearby building as if to accentuate his point, hearing a soft crack as flesh and bone met brick.

A loud cry out pain forced its way out as he gripped his now fractured left hand with his right.

"Damn you, Erion! This is all your fault!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, followed by shouts of "Shut the hell up!" and "We're trying to sleep, here!" from nearby windows.

"You shut up, you ungrateful bastards!" He yelled right back. "You're speaking to a guardsman! Know your place!"

Then he came to the realization that, after leaving his post in the middle of the night, there was a good chance that he would be let go. He could probably go back now, an no one would be the wiser, but his pride wouldn't allow it.

"I won't accept you, Erion Taranis. I won't accept you as Captain. I won't accept that you're better than me!" He mumbled as he stomped away. "I'll find a way to make you pay for this!"


............................................................................

"No worries, Stella. We've been friends for a while now, and I've grown quite accustomed to your...enthusiasm. " Amatiel said with a chuckle, amused as always by her friend's overabundance of energy.

"Everything has been fine.. at least for the most part." She continued, hopping onto the bed next to Stella. "Running an entire city hasn't exactly been easy, but I've gotten used to it over time. Between Daviid, Erion, and yourself, I've been able to manage pretty well. Speaking of Erion, yes, he did accept my offer. Tonight is his first night as Captain. I'm sure he'll do well, but I admit, I am a bit worried about this inspection. I haven't told anyone else, but it looks like my father will be the one performing it. I wonder if he's changed any the last two years...."

The though of her father filled her with dread. She couldn't help it... all of her memories of him had been horrible. She had gone her entire life without seeing him, and then at the age of thirteen, has had simply shown up on her mother's doorstep, demanding that she be handed over. Then there was the testing, the harsh training, the way he constantly made her feel as though she weren't good enough...

Hamaliel was the a celestial of the domain of logic, an embodiment of it, and, to be honest, she was sue he even had any feelings. During the time she spent with him, she may as well have been alone.

"Oh, I apologize, Stella." She said, snapping out of her reverie. "I was simply lost in thought for a moment. Let's see.. what did I forget? Oh yes, shopping. I haven't really had much of a chance to get out lately, so I- "

She paused for a moment, stood up, and walked over to her window. "Stella? Did you sense another Nephilim when you were on your way here?"

Liliana blinked once, a blank look on her face. Honestly, she had no idea how to react. Half of her wanted to fight again, the other half wanted to stay meek and tender. Even her actions showed her mental turmoil. She had slowly reached for the water, trembling, only to snatch it away forcefully a second later.

Liliana examined the bottle closely, never having seen one before. She had no idea how to act. Blinking again, she knocked on the plastic like it was wood a few times. But after another moment, she set the bottle down, not knowing how a screw on lid worked. Instead the shy girl looked back up at her new company. "... Valerie..." She repeated the name once. Lilana said nothing else, unsure of which persona to take out of her two.

All of her instincts told her to strike now, run a knife through her throat and be done with it. But her other reminded her that she wasn't being attacked right now, and fighting was unsafe due to the fact that she had only just woken up and was tired. So Liliana only scooted away to the otehr side of the bed, bringing her knees up to hug them tightly, as if they could provide some sort of protection.

"... Liliana..." She said her name to Valerie, still wary. She was completely on edge, ready to lunge if Valerie even hinted at hostility. Even her eyes send a clear message. Don't come any closer. "... Why are you here... paladin..." Liliana semi spat the last word. Her hands clenched, but then came undone again.

"Well... " He said with a thoughtful smile, as he walked over to him. "This was supposed to be a training exercise for the night guard. I'm not sure it would be prudent of me to allow a civilian to participate. I'm Eri- Um, Captain Erion Taranis, by the way. And who might you be, my friend from the East?"

Ryuu was taken aback. Was Erion trying to refuse his challenge? His opponent was a perplexing man, for sure. Publicly refraining from a chance to prove himself to his men was an unusual choice, that was for sure. No, that can’t be it, he reasoned, his eyes scanning the man from head to toe in the blink of an eye. If he was schooled in the art of kenjutsu, then he would never do something so cowardly. Is he testing my audacity, then? In that case, Ryuu had no choice but to continue with his previous plan. There was no way he would let this guy outdo him without even crossing fists!

β€œI am Ryuu Arishima, a warrior monk from the Far Eastern islands, and I assure you, Captain Erion Taranis, my profession is not an issue. I could take on your entire force at once, let alone one officer. Would you prefer I fight you with or without my weapon?” Ryuu smiled as he said this, taking out the four pieces of his staff and snapping them together. β€œI’m fine either way.”

His plan wasn't forming. Mikey couldn't think of one, besides the obvious: Knock on the damn door and see what happens. But his father told him to at least try to remain somewhat cautious and to use his 'grey' matter at times. Mike wondered, however, if this was an appropriate time to be thinking such thoughts. The worst case scenario was that they completely forgot who he was, besides the fact that he was some rando Nephilim. That would be embarrassing. Then again, it would be much more fun for him to reintroduce himself all over again. It was alway so much fun getting to know new people. So he knocked on the door.

"Hello?" He said, knocking 5 times. They were probably a bit louder than he had originally planned on, but who planned nowadays. While he waited for a response, he turned to watch a growing battle down the street. Some guy that looked like he was from the East was being really cocky, yelling loud stuff about how he was so great. Michael rolled his eyes and laughed to himself. That guy must be an entertainer, one of those traveling sword fighters who makes a massive act out of there fighting.

β€œI am Ryuu Arishima, a warrior monk from the Far Eastern islands, and I assure you, Captain Erion Taranis, my profession is not an issue."

Defensive, probably quick to anger, Erion thought, analyzing. Enjoys fighting..

"I could take on your entire force at once, let alone one officer. Would you prefer I fight you with or without my weapon?” . β€œI’m fine either way.”

Overconfident... even smug, Erion continued in his mind. Overzealous. Strong, but probably not fully trained, or he'd be in better control of his emotions.

"I see." Erion replied, matching Ryuu's smile, and even offering him a slight bow as a sign of respect. "You seem quite confident in your skills. To be honest, I'd love the chance to to test my own skill against your own, but... fighting with a civilian would almost certainly cause problems for me. Unless..."

He paused for a moment, scratching his chin for a moment, feigning deep thought. "Okay, Ryuu-san. I'll spar with you... on the condition that if you can't beat me, you'll join me as a member of the night guard. Is that acceptable to you, men?!"

"Do it!" One of the younger men called out,with the rest of the group quickly joining in, the words becoming more of a chant.

"Do it!Do it!Do it!Do it!" The men yelled, pumping themselves up.

"It seems that the rest of the squad is in agreement." Erion considered, meeting Ryuu's gaze. "What do you say? You're obviously sure you can best me with your bojutsu, so what do you have to lose?"
