Miriami Tatsuyo's Story

Miri twisted the her butterfly knives around her finger and took a deep breath. Her bright orange eyes focused on the target in front of her. The bulls eye literally screamed for it to be pierced by the tip of her blades. The titan closed her eyes for a breath moment before shooting them back open, determination radiating from her piercing gaze. She tossed her first knife at the board and jumped in the air with a spin and threw the other blade as well. The movement was so fluid and quick it was hard not to be awed at it's beauty. The sound of the thick board being impelled radiated in the deathly silent room and with that Miri landed on the floor perfectly on both feet. Miri sighed, letting out the air that was a couple of seconds ago locked away, and walked up to the board and was satisfied to see that both blades hit exactly where she wanted them to. Her hand reached to collect her items when the bell rung, a signal that meant they need to meet. They being the Titans who were located throughout the tower. It was rare when the bell is rung so it must have been very important.

Hurriedly, Miri grabbed the blades and stuffed them in her side hilts. She spun on her heel and headed towards the entrance of the training room, grabbing her katana at the doorway. She never went anywhere without her sword. Miri slid the sword easily in her hilt that rested on her hip and walked to the throne room. Using both hands she pulled the doors opened, effortlessly, and strode in the room, the bells still singing their song throughout the corridors. Sometimes Miri was amazed at the The Tower. It was huge none the less and the hallways were wide easily fitting 300 hundred people comfortably. As the bells continued to ring, Miri picked up her pace and soon she was at the double doors that opened up to the Throne Room. Which were magnificent all by itself.

In the Throne Room it currently held six luxurious throne that represented each God. The Titan that opposed a certain god would sit in their throne. Looking around Miri noted that Sora and Orsus were already there though Sora was sitting in the God of Wind's throne - a mixture of grey and white swirls that represented the wind- however Orsus refused to sit in the Goddess of Ice's throne -surrounded by sharp pillars of ice- and Orsus now resided on the back wall with the look of frustration clear on his face. Though he was Rage so it wasn't an uncommon sight. Miri walked over to her particular throne. The God of Darkness' throne was surround by dark black clouds and had an all black seat. People could look at the throne and then at Miri and can tell that the Titan totally stood out from it. In her red and white armor she surely didn't belong in a place so glum. However the Titan held her head high and sat down in the seat which was surprisingly comfortable.

"Surely there's a good reason why I'm here right now."

Valerie ran her hands across of the walls as she walked down the corridor. She was on her way outside. She was tired of being inside the tower with her siblings. They were always fighting and hated being around one another and it gave the titan a headache. Her mind was off in another world as she moved farther down the corridor. Her ax was trailing behind her as she dragged it along side her. Valerie took it whenever she was by herself. She could always be in danger and she didn't trust the other Titans at all. The weapon was a safety precaution. Just then a loud bell rang throughout the tower. A meeting was being called forth. A sigh escaped the Titan of Matter's lips and she turned on her heels to head back toward the throne room.

Inside the throne room was separate thrones that were for each God. The chairs represented the Gods certain specialty. Sora, Orsus, and Miriami claimed their chairs. Her eyes found the God of Earth's chair and smiled. It was surrounded by rocks and the chair was made of natural materials. Without greeting her fellow Titans, she took slow steps toward it and a twisted smile fell on her face. The sound of her ax scrapping the ground was all she could hear. The closer she got to it, the rocks crumbled and broke apart. They fell to the ground in a scattered mess around the chair. Valerie couldn't wait to do that to Attlas, it was what she dreamed about.

The Titan sat on the throne of the God of Earth and kept a firm grip on the ax. Her multicolored eyes searched around the room and she smiled at each of her siblings that were present in the room. Her body started to relax in the chair. "Did you call a family reunion Sora?" Valerie asked.

Raidon


Raidon sighed as he laid in bed, the goddess of light's old bed to be exact. He had taken out all of her possessions and threw them in one of the storage rooms in the tower and redecorated it with his own possessions. He smiled, at this point the goddess would probably hate this if she could see it as he dimmed down the lights and got rid of many of the colors. He stood up and put on his jacket and equipped his swords. Grabbing a vase he had taken from somewhere in the tower he placed it on a small pedestal. "I really hope this was hers." he said to himself. He then took out his blue sword and charged it with electricity until it was crackling with power. He then shot all of the energy at the vase, blowing it to pieces. He was slowly getting rid of things that might have been hers as he wanted her presence gone from the tower, he wanted no challenge to where he was now.

Then the bell rang. Raidon sighed again, but this time it wasn't a good sigh. It meant that all of the titans had to meet up in the throne room, and usually not for to good of a reason. He just hope that there was no big arguments at this meeting, though that was a low chance, especially if it was something about the gods. He put his sword back in it's hilt and opened the door. He began to walk towards the meeting room. He liked the tower, you could see pretty much everything from it and it had plenty of room. He looked around as he walked the hall, still quite amazed by the tower, though not half as much as he had been the first time he entered it.

He threw open the throne room doors and saw most of his siblings here already. Sora sat on the wind god's throne and by the look of it, and partially by what Valerie said, Sora had called the meeting. Orsus was once again standing in back, as he still refused to sit on his rival's throne. Then there was Miriami who sat on the gloomy throne of the god of darkness and Valerie who sat on the rock throne of the god of earth. He gave a smile to Miriami and Valerie as they were the titans he liked and trusted the most. He then made his way to the goddess of light's throne. It looked to be made of crystal which reflected multi-colored light, every color of the rainbow floating around in it. He sat and leaned back in the comfortable throne. "Well, I really hope there is a good reason for this meeting being called."

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Orsus actually paused for a moment as Sora spoke, "Frost got out, I don't know how, I just know that one minute she was here the next she jumped from the Tower. Due to the weakened state she was in I'd say we have at best a few days to find her before something or someone else does." He allowed those words sink in. Amazingly, it was one of the rare moments where the anger actually subsided, even if it was only for a moment. It was only a brief moment as Sora spoke again, "Obviously Orsus can't go, Raidon or Mirami would be preferable to find her because you're probably the only ones capable of bringing her back alive." Then the anger was back, and his fists slowly clenched until his knuckles were white, though the bandages kept them hidden.

She finally finished off by offering them a chance to think of another plan, before deciding to excuse herself from the room. By now, his teeth were grinding rather loudly as he tried in vain to keep from snapping. It was futile as he began once Sora was finally out of the room, "There is no chance that you will leave me behind if you go after Frost! I will not be left out of this!" At this point he walked forwards, stopping next to Frost's throne. "An opportunity to hunt down a runaway goddess?! I will not be denied that chance, especially with it being Frost." He hadn't realized it, but he had grabbed hold of the arm of the throne, it too beginning to crack some under the pressure of his grip, a pressure that was only increasing as he vented.

He stood there, looking at his siblings around the throne room. His fingers were digging into the arm by now, as Orsus had abandoned any real attempt to keep himself under control. "And I dare any of you to try and keep me from going!" He was hardly thinking his words over, by this point there was no filter as that was the last thing on his mind. However, as much as Sora may claim she was not responsible for Frost escaping he found it difficult to believe considering she was one of the primary torturers of the goddess. The fact that he believed she was trying to dodge the responsibility infuriated him. It was compounded by Sora of all people telling him that he could not go after Frost either. Nobody,especially Sora, was going to tell him otherwise, not after he had been waiting for a chance to finally face this goddess. The piece of the throne he had been gripping finally snapped free, Orsus still looking at his other siblings. He had no words left to say, as he couldn't possibly form any. By now he was simply trying to keep himself from simply unsheathing his sword to really emphasize his threat.

It was awhile before two more Titans entered the Throne Room. The two titans being Valerie and Raidon both who Miri were more close with than the rest of the Titans. "Did you call a family reunion Sora?" Miri could have laughed at the sarcastic remark but now wasn't the time. It was very serious and Miri didn't want to look like she wasn't taking this meeting seriously. When Raidon smiled at her, she too smiled back to acknowledging his presence and to be a little friendly. "Well, I really hope there is a good reason for this meeting being called." That's what the rest of the Titans were probably thinking at the moment but Raidon was the only one to speak the thoughts out loud. Miri shifted in her seat, crossing one leg over the other. "I think we're all sure this has to do with our prisoner Frost. I guess the real question is, what happened." Miri knew she made a valid point and crossed her arms waiting for someone to tell her that her theory was wrong. Of course that didn't come, instead something else did. That something was a pissed off Sora.

The sound of her fist making contact with the wooden table vibrated in the room. "Shut up!" There could have been veins popping out of Sora's neck at the moment to emphasize that she didn't like the fact that they were talking. What a childish behavior and if it wasn't for the meeting, Miri would have called her out on it. "Yes you're all bothered by the fact that I gathered you here, but it's very important." Miri let that statement sink in. If Sora said something was important then it must be important. It's not everyday you here that word come out of her mouth. "Frost got out, I don't know how, I just know that one minute she was here the next she jumped from the Tower. Due to the weakened state she was in I'd say we have at best a few days to find her before something or someone else does." Miri abruptly sat up in her chair with wide alarmed eyes. This couldn't bee happening. They were sure to lock her in tight before leaving her in the cell. Something must have happened. Miri looked down and concentrated, thinking on how she could have escaped.

"Obviously Orsus can't go, Raidon or Miriami would be preferable to find her because you're probably the only ones capable of bringing her back alive." Miri looked up and smirked ever so slightly. "Watch what you say around Orsus, Sora. There are just some things he doesn't tolerate." Though the idea of sending her or Raidon out was smart, Orsus would definitely object to it and would do it in a fit of rage. They didn't need that at the moment, and it's Sora's fault for bringing it on. Miri looked over at Orsus who was surrounded in a hue of a bright red, which was ever slightly growing, something that only Miri could see. They were going to be in for a lot of trouble. "Well if you need me I'll either be in my room or the kitchen," Oh you can trust that your assistance won't be needed in the time being. With that Sora walked out of the room, leaving only 4 titans in the Throne Room. Miri braced herself for what Orsus was going to say. And let's just be realy honest for a second. It wasn't going to be pretty.

Miri watched as Orsus stormed up to Frost's throne, anger radiating from him in bright red tentacles. "There is no chance that you will leave me behind if you go after Frost! I will not be left out of this!" Miri put her hand to her face and sighed. She decided to let him rant before speaking up. That way they could avoid trouble from anyone else. "An opportunity to hunt down a runaway goddess?! I will not be denied that chance, especially with it being Frost." Miri couldn't deny the fact that he was right in some ways. Frost was his opposing Goddess and he has every right to go after her. But like Sora said, that wouldn't be good seeing as Orsus would kill her on sight. "And I dare any of you to try and keep me from going!" This was Miri's cue to stand up and speak which she did. "You make valid points Orsus. Who better to go after her than you." Miri made a wide gesture towards the door. "However, we can't trust you enough to make sure you won't rip her to pieces before we bring her back here. Why do you think we forbid you from going to her cell?"

Miri put her hand on her sword and unsheathed it and went into a fighting position. "I am sorry Orsus, but I forbid you from leaving this Tower in the hunt of the Goddess Frost. If you take another step towards the door, I will have to attack you." Miri smiled slightly. If he made a run for it, it was going to be one hell of a fight.

Raidon


Raidon only looked slight startled when Sora yelled for them to shut up. Wow, she must really be irritated. he thought to himself. he listened intently as Sora told them what happened. He smirked at the news that Frost escaped, not really worried about it as it was easily solvable. Sora really messed up this time, I'd hate to be her right now. Oh well, as long as Orsus doesn't kill her in his rage. He glanced at Orsus and saw him grinding his teeth and clenching his fists. Well, at least he hasn't started raging yet. He thought about everything Sora had said and agreed, him or Miriami should go, but then of course they could both go. Though the goddess was injured, she was still a goddess and shouldn't be to easily underestimated. But it seemed his thought about Orsus not raging came to early as he began to speak, not yet at the point where he would start attacking them yet though. "Calm down Orsus, we don't need any more infighting."
Orsus didn't seem to calm down at all though, in fact he was getting angrier and challenged anybody to try and stop him. Raidon stood up shortly after Miriami and drew his own swords. Crackles of blue electricity occasionally flickered along Raidon's swords and body. He then smiled and looked calmly at Orsus "I have to agree with Miriami on this one, of course it'd normally be your right to go after Frost, but you would definitely kill her and if you try to leave I will help Miriami stop you. Now of course you do have the most physical strength of us, but I don't think even you could take down two titans. Now how about you just stay here and calm down, maybe take some of the gods' old possessions and smash them to vent your anger. Me and Miriami are two of the oldest titans and Frost is an inexperienced young goddess, we can take her down and bring her in without much trouble."

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"You make valid points Orsus. Who better to go after her than you." Miri made a wide gesture towards the door. "However, we can't trust you enough to make sure you won't rip her to pieces before we bring her back here. Why do you think we forbid you from going to her cell?"

Miri put her hand on her sword and unsheathed it and went into a fighting position. "I am sorry Orsus, but I forbid you from leaving this Tower in the hunt of the Goddess Frost. If you take another step towards the door, I will have to attack you." Miri smiled slightly. Orsus didn't hesitate with his own sword, pulling it from his back the moment Miri did the same. It was more of a reflex, and at this point he had not adopted a stance of his own.

His eyes turned to Raidon who stood up a moment after Miri did, drawing his own swords. "I have to agree with Miriami on this one, of course it'd normally be your right to go after Frost, but you would definitely kill her and if you try to leave I will help Miriami stop you. Now of course you do have the most physical strength of us, but I don't think even you could take down two titans. Now how about you just stay here and calm down, maybe take some of the gods' old possessions and smash them to vent your anger. Me and Miriami are two of the oldest titans and Frost is an inexperienced young goddess, we can take her down and bring her in without much trouble." The only reason none of Orsus' teeth had chipped by this point, despite the fact of how clenched his jaw was, was simply because of his Titan anatomy. His right hand was gripping the handle of his sword just as tightly as he watched them.

Surprisingly, coherent thoughts had actually begun to return to him as he watched them. He could feel the rage subsiding a little bit, enough for him to focus if only a little. As much as being denied this chance still angered him, he really thought that it was mostly Sora who was causing this. In truth, despite the frustration he always felt, it was only Sora who really drove him to this level of anger. Just her voice was enough to cause his blood to boil. Now that she was gone though, his temper had settled down some.

He kept looking between Miri and Raidon, arms shaking a little from the tension in the muscles. His other siblings, for some unknown reason, never had the same effect on him as Sora did. Even though they were telling him "no", he still did not feel the same spike of rage that he had when Sora had said it. Still, here they were though calling him out. It's not that he was much of a prideful individual, but it still stung all the same knowing it was just his anger that had him shouting the threat he had said. With that shame came anger though, and he could slowly feel it boiling over again.

He finally just snapped, letting out something of a feral roar as he grabbed the handle of his sword with both hands, dragging the tip of the blade across the ground. It dug a small rut into the floor as he brought it up and smashed it through the bottom of the table, breaking it down the center before he spun on his feet, turning and swinging the large sword straight at Frost's throne. The sword came down at an angle, smashing through the throne and shattered the part it hit before smashing down into the floor, rending through it and leaving a large gash in it before it finally came to a stop. Orsus was wide-eyed and breathing heavily, not moving save for the breaths. He could finally feel the anger really beginning to fade, or at least back to it's more tolerable levels.

Slowly he began to relax a little, letting go of the sword with his left hand as he stood up, taking a somewhat shaky and deep breath before letting it out. "Fine." he said, it sounding close to a growl as he said it. "Fine...." he repeated. Slowly he lifted his sword and replaced it on his back, not looking at them. "Try not to fuck up." Now that his mind had settled down, he began to think to himself somewhat, realizing that though they could stop him now, there was nothing keeping him here once they left. That was when he'd get his chance to pursue Frost.

Sora seemed to have a carefree attitude about the fact that Frost has escaped. Personally Valerie didn't care since that wasn't her person to deal with. It is was Attlas that had gotten lose, she would have sent an ax into Sora's head. But that isn't what is happening. Just as predicted, Orsus got angry. It was pretty amusing to see him look like this, especially when it wasn't directed toward her. She didn't even flinch when his fist connected with the armrest of the throne. A small smirk came to her face and her eyes started to twinkle, the different colors in her eyes shined brighter. Orsus really wanted to search for Frost, but that was a horrid idea and everyone knew that. He would kill her the moment he laid eyes on her. That is what any of them if they saw there opposing Gods.

"You make valid points Orsus. Who better to go after her than you." Miri made a wide gesture towards the door. "However, we can't trust you enough to make sure you won't rip her to pieces before we bring her back here. Why do you think we forbid you from going to her cell? "I am sorry Orsus, but I forbid you from leaving this Tower in the hunt of the Goddess Frost. If you take another step towards the door, I will have to attack you." The Titan of Matter sat up more in her chair and watched her. Miriami was ready to fight and Orsus wasn't far behind. Ooh. A challenge. Valerie thought, excitement written on her face. "I have to agree with Miriami on this one, of course it'd normally be your right to go after Frost, but you would definitely kill her and if you try to leave I will help Miriami stop you. Now of course you do have the most physical strength of us, but I don't think even you could take down two titans. Now how about you just stay here and calm down, maybe take some of the gods' old possessions and smash them to vent your anger. Me and Miriami are two of the oldest titans and Frost is an inexperienced young goddess, we can take her down and bring her in without much trouble." The smirk on her face turned into a frown. Not my Raidon. she thought. Raidon was her favorite, if Orsus injured him she wouldn't hesitate to join the fight.

The numbers and odds against The Titan of Rage was high which would make for a interesting fight, but it seemed that he had come to his senses. After letting out his anger on Frost's throne he agreed to allowing the two eldest Titan's to go after his opposed God. Finally Valerie stood off up and walked away from the God of earth's throne, dragging the ax behind her, a loud scrapping sound followed. She stopped near her siblings. "Be careful. I actually like you too and I would prefer you come back the way you left" the Titan said simply.

When Orsus drew his own sword, Miri smiled widely. Thus a fight shall begun. "Calm down Orsus, we don't need any more infighting." However it was interrupted when Raidon himself pulled out his two deadly weapons and took stand with Miri. Miri huffed, straightened herself and put the hand that held the sword on her hip. "Fighting is his thing. It's like telling humans not to breath. It's a natural thing." "I have to agree with Miriami on this one, of course it'd normally be your right to go after Frost, but you would definitely kill her and if you try to leave I will help Miriami stop you. Now of course you do have the most physical strength of us, but I don't think even you could take down two titans. Now how about you just stay here and calm down, maybe take some of the gods' old possessions and smash them to vent your anger. Me and Miriami are two of the oldest titans and Frost is an inexperienced young goddess, we can take her down and bring her in without much trouble." Miri made an 'O' with her mouth. So there was going to be a fight after all?

The thought of Orsus destroying the left over possessions almost made Miri laugh. Almost. There barely was anything left to destroy. They basically found anything that was a possession of the gods and just smashed, burned, and ripped them to pieces. Finding another one is more rare than finding water in a desert. Except the Thrones. They were the places they sat so smashing them would be out of the question. A fatal roar snapped Miri from her thoughts and she watched as Orsus dragged his sword behind him, creating a trench in the tiled floor. Miri shook her head. Here we go with the wrecking. Bringing his sword up he smashed it against the wooden table that appeared to be strong but fell at the mercy of Orsus. It was now cracked down the middle, small pieces flying everywhere. Then he went for the throne. Frost throne to be exact. Frost throne was basically history and there was no chance someone was gong to sit there unless they wanted to be poked by the shards of ice that scattered around and on the chair. "Are you done yet because I really want to go."

The bright red that surrounded Orsus like a blanket dimmed a little and looked a lot more pale. He was back to his normal rage and not the 'lets go berserk' one. "Fine." He started to relax and that meant no fighting. But secretly, Miri was looking forward to it. She was tired of practicing on targets that didn't move. She wanted an actual person. Of course she didn't voice these thoughts aloud. "Fine...." Miri sheathed her sword again. She would take it back out when the time came. "Try not to fuck up." Miri nodded and faked salute. But before she and Raidon were going to leave, she needed to think for a second. Miri's mind back tracked to the time when Frost escape. Sora probably have left Frost cell after a little of torture on Orsus orders. Did she leave something behind? There must have been something the broke her out. Maybe a pin fell out of Sora's hair enabling Frost to pick the lock. Miri shook her head. Something like that would be stupid and somewhat on a human level. These locks were different. "Be careful. I actually like you too and I would prefer you come back the way you left" Miri looked up at Valerie as she walked away dragging her ax with her until she exited the room.

Miri sighed an stepped down from her throne and fast walked towards the door. "Let's go Raidon, the sooner we get to her, the better." Miri stopped and turned around and looked at Orsus. "Behave." She pointed a stern finger at him before letting out a giggle and continuing to walk out finally exiting the throne room. She continued to fast pace to the entrance of the tower. If you haven't guessed it yet, Miri didn't plan on jumping off, like what Frost did. But instead, Miri went towards the elevator within the tower. Weird because it can take you almost anywhere in the world. Raidon and Miri both made it to the elevator and Miri walked over and went in pushing the E button that meant Earth. She looked down and the back at Raidon. "Let's over the plan. The plan is to track, find, and bring back Frost. No distractions. We find her, bring her back done and done." Miri paused for a second before putting on a smile which is actually rare for her even though she's the Titan of Emotions. "I call dibs on attacking Frost first." It was that childish behavior that Miri usually hide from her siblings. Only Valerie and Raidon know of this side.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Let's go Raidon, the sooner we get to her, the better." Miri stopped and turned around and looked at Orsus. "Behave." She pointed a stern finger at him before letting out a giggle and continuing to walk out finally exiting the throne room. Orsus' anger flared up once more at her mocking, but it settled down again once he was left alone inside the throne room. After a few minutes of the two having left, he finally turned and left the room, marching down the hallway towards his own room.

It was along this way that he stopped when he heard a voice behind him, turning to see his brother Galahad. "Hello there Orsus. Did you ring the bell? I was meditating and couldn't make it to the meeting. Is something wrong?" he asked Orsus. Orsus scowled some before he turned to look at Galahad, giving him some quick, short answers since he really didn't feel like bothering with an interview.

"Hi, no, good for you," then Orsus paused in his quick answers at the last one. He remained quiet for a brief moment before answering again, "No, well for Sora maybe. Her favorite playtoy just escaped." Orsus then turned and immediately began walking again heading towards his room. "If you want to talk, then walk."

"Aww, I guess I'll just have to settle for second attack. Well that's a good plan, but I have to ask what you want to do if she found help of some sort from humans or a monster. I mean though we could probably take out either possibility, I want to know what you think we should do if this is the case?" Though it was a simple question, Miri had to think about it for a second. It's not like they can just go and kill them because that would distract them from getting Frost and that's what they were here for. "We can just kill the monster if there is one who's helping Frost escape." Miri said then narrowed her eyes a bit. A look she only puts on when she's thinking really hard. "I'd say to be cautious trying to kill a human. We hate to get into any human affairs. That would just slow us down and let Frost escape even farther." The titan concluded. She could feel the elevator plummeting towards the Earth at a fast pace. Weirdly, this was taking a while and it would have been awkward if it wasn't for the fact that Raidon and Miri were friends.

The elevator slowed to a stop and an ding echoed around the small shaft. They were finally at their destination. "Let's just hope that there isn't any monster. Or worst humans." She spat the word out like it was a bad taste in her mouth. It would be an understatement to say that she hated humans. The two titans walked out of the elevator and straight into wildlife. Frost had to have landed here. Miri drew her sword out and walked deep into the forest at a face past, though her feet made no sound. She didn't want to alert anyone of her presence. Then Miri stopped. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She planned on tracking Frost down using a ability that can locate people using emotions. This was a range from people around Miri to as far as another continent though really far places took a lot of energy. Miri concentrated of the aura of colors in the area. She could see Raidon's which was a blue and hers which was also a blue. But she needed to branch out a little more. In her mind she scanned the area farther ahead and then she spotted a group of colors.

They were ranging from black to green and Miri took the black one to be Frost. Opening her eyes, Miri looked at Raidon with a smirk. She pointed in the exact direction where she found the group of aura's. "Found her. She's in that direction. But..she has people with her. When push comes to shove, I want you to get the others away from there, I'll keep Frost at bay." And with that Miri took off in a sprint towards the area knowing that Raidon was right next to her. it was about time they got Frost and too be honest, Miri was feeling a little excited. She was going to have a battle with Frost. Even though she isn't her opposing God, she was in a very weakened state. They would be evenly matched much to her disinterest. 'What if my opposing god is here. What if the God of Darkness was helping Frost.' Miri gritted her teeth. She couldn't let stray thoughts get to her. Frost probably had a bunch of humans around her. She did fall from the sky. However, Miri couldn't shake that thought away.

Raidon


Raidon smiled and stepped out after Miri. Instead of drawing his swords, he adjusted their hilt so they would be hidden under his long jacket. He then spoke jokingly, "Hey, no need to waste spit about humans, they should more of be pitied than hated." Helet out a little stretch and started to follow Miri. He was quite impressed with her tracking abilities. "No problem, just so you know that when you initially walk up to the group I will stay to the side and walk up from a different direction, that way they might trust me more, and maybe I can get them to believe I'm human." He said with a smile. So far through his thinking, his plan was to get rid of Frost's companions peacefully and try to convince them to leave, though if that didn't work he'd have to use force. He himself was quite excited that maybe his god was in the area. It would give him a chance to see what she's like now and see how much control the human had over the god hidden inside. As they walked, gray clouds gathered above as Raidon prepared in case of an actual battle.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Orsus looked around the area, trying to get his bearings straight. He had tried to judge as best as he could about where to land, and he was lucky that Frost had chosen to simply fall from the Tower rather than escape through the elevator. Had she chosen the elevator then Orsus' search would have been hopeless considering she could have chosen anywhere to go. However, since she had fallen from the Tower instead it meant that he had an area in which he could search; she couldn't have gone very far either considering how much the fall would have hurt her alongside how weak of a condition she had been in due to her imprisonment. He started walking in the direction he figured she would have fallen, stepping over the roots of the various trees he was walking past. Occasionally he'd hear the snap of a stick beneath his foot, or even hear a small branch snap from its tree as Orsus simply walked through them rather than try to maneuver around them.

It had been awhile since he'd actually come down to Earth, or at the least come down here in a civil manner. He couldn't even remember where it had been that he went to the last time he came down from the Tower, as usually he came down for more destructive purposes in a much angrier mood. Right now though, he was actually noticing the sounds of animals moving throughout the forest; some moving to try and avoid him, others just going about their business ignoring the titan. It was strange to hear these sounds for Orsus, the Tower certainly lacked the same amount and diversity of life and this was the first time in a very long time he'd actually come down to Earth cognitive. From birds, to insects, to some animals disrupting the dead leave and sticks that littered the ground as they ran in different directions. It was all strange and rather new to him.

He continued walking in the direction he hoped Frost was, trying to look for any signs that he could use to track her. He had really hoped that when he came down he would have been able to find some kinda trail that Miri and/or Raidon might have left behind, but if they had it was too little of a trail for an untrained eye to find. He sighed in annoyance, though he was actually somewhat surprised at how...not-upset he was at that fact. With a chance to fight Frost, he figured that he was far too excited at the thought that it helped to keep his anger in check. But once he found Frost, that emotional brake would be gone as Orsus would finally get a chance to really show her just why he was called the Titan of Rage. His knuckles cracked loudly as he clenched his fist in anticipation.

"No problem, just so you know that when you initially walk up to the group I will stay to the side and walk up from a different direction, that way they might trust me more, and maybe I can get them to believe I'm human." Getting them to believe he was human was... pretty smart. Raidon had the features of a human and most humans didn't have orange hair and eyes with a large sword at hand. Miri continued to run closing in a little more on their targets. Her eyes casted over to Raidon who was swiftly running beside her, her speed nothing on him. They would have to get rid of his sword for the time being. Humans didn't wield heavy armor such as the ones he was wearing. When they got there they were going to have to strip him of his possessions and leave him in just his clothes. Miri didn't like that fact that she was leaving him defenseless. The Titan of Emotions wanted both of them to make it out of there without many bruises. They continued to run hurriedly and soon Miri could sense that were in the vicinity of the group. Far enough that the group couldn't see the two but the titans could see the group.

Miri reached to her waist and pulled out her daggers. She handed them both over to Raidon. A bit reluctantly seeing as she loved those daggers like they were her own. "I want you to use these instead of your swords and take off some of you armor. You look more human without them." Miri said. It took a second but Raidon's two swords and armor were eventually laying on the healthy forest grass unused. Miri didn't want him to go without armor. Somehow she didn't trust humans even if they were weaker than her. Miri peeked behind a tree and her eye caught six people. One of them being a child with white hair and bright blue eyes. She looked weak and Miri instantly knew that this was Frost. Rumor has it that Frost's human form was a child but no one got to see it or lived to tell the tale. Miri looked over one and saw a woman with whitish blonde hair and shockingly red eyes and Miri took a step back in shock. What was a monster doing there? The Titan gritted her teeth and looked at the rest hoping they were just humans. They were.

"Raidon...there is one monster and three humans. Frost is in her human form but it's a mere child. Rumors are as true as they seem. I take back what I said about no sword. We have to face this head on. The monster can probably already sense us so might as well come out of hiding. Pay the humans no mind." Miri was surprisingly having a hard time figuring out what monster the woman was. Something that Miri has seen only once before in her life. And that is a long time. Not only did this frustrate her, it was also the fact that her mind was convinced that more people were coming had her gritting her teeth even harder. She was starting to turn out like Orsus. That brought a small smile from her. Once Raidon put back on his gear Miri walked straight ahead and into their area. They could now see the two Titans as they stood in full armor and weaponry. Even after the circumstances, Miri still wanted to make it out with little bruises. Miri smirked a bit at the odd group. "A god, a monster, and some humans. What are the odds?" Miri said her eyes raking over each one as she spoke of their race.

"Let's not be cliche about this shall we, I really don't have the time." Miri said a hand moving to her hip in a 'I'm tired' gesture, though she was wide awake and alert. "We need the child. I would say the decision is up to you but it isn't." Miri said her hand keeping a firm grasp on her sword. It was now or never.

Esme just stared wide eyed at the strange pair. Were they crazy? Maybe they escaped from an asylum. A million different idea's steam trained threw Esme's head and a few of them made her giggle. She didn't know how long she was in lala land for but she knew she had to get out and help. She tuned back into the real world just as Attlas held out his hammer. Really?

"Your a dork you know that right Alltas? I've played enough videogames to know your hammer ain't gonna do nothing against swords, you need a long range weapon" Esme started rambling while she unconsciously took the small white haired girl into her arms ~jeez first thing Esme's doing when they get to camp is feeding the damn kid~ and started walking down the hill to camp, which was in sight. Once she shut up Esme dashed down the hill and straight into camp.

Plan of distraction: Rambling while stealing the child.

Plan went perfect.

Shit she left Attlas and Necholas ~and the strange chick~ back with the crazies. Attlas she going to beat her with his hammer. It wasn't her fault she kinda just....forgot about them.

Oh well.

Child were scurrying around the camp site, some giving her strange looks but ~like always~ Esme ignored them. She went in search for Rudy and found her walking around.

"Why hello sweet little star gazer, I need your help so I'm calling on the book of eternal best friendshipness and invoking rule 247, a favor you can't deny....you must feed this child for me while I go all videogame mode and some forest crazies ass" Esme exclaimed loudly, she made her voice deeper when she said 'book of eternal best friendshipness' ~an imaginary book Esme invented when her and Rudy were kids~ and gave Rudy a huge smile as she handed her the small girl.

"Thanks, bye Rudy Tudy" Esme shouted then rushed off. She had a thing for inventing nicknames for people no matter how ridiculous they sound. Esme ran into her room and took her suit case from beneath the bed, zipped it open and dug to the very bottom where she took out fire works and fire crackers. She's never been in a fight before how they hell was she suppose to know what to bring. Thats right she doesn't!

Once she stuffed them into her backpack she went to the kitchen and looked for some of the more flammable things then she took a lighter ~she already had a box of matches~ and ran to the archery area. She grabbed a bow and a quiver of arrows ~quickly dipped the tips into some sort of flammable cleaner~ then ran as fast as she could back to the area she left Attlas, Nec, strange lady and the crazies.

"Time! hell ya only five minutes!" Esme shouted proudly while trying to catch her breath. She prepped an arrow.

"Alright you can continue" she wheezed while still trying to catch her breath.

Frost had passed out again in Attlas's arms but when she came to, she found that she was suddenly playing catch with the position of the ball. As the girl with black hair ran, Frost could see Miri and Raidon and bit down on her lip hard to keep from moaning. How had they managed to find her so quickly? Surely if they were here already Orsus was hot on her trail. Frost did not want to put all of these humans in danger, especially considering how kind they had been so far. Everything the other Gods had told her about humans was wrong, they were not selfish uncaring people; in fact the humans had been even kinder than some of the Gods themselves!

Frost was suddenly passed to another human and a trickle of blood squirt from her mouth. She surreptitiously glanced upwards at this new character, a stout strawberry blonde with glittering amber eyes. Or at least they looked to be amber in this light, they could have very well been brown. Frost tried to stay awake this time, she would be of no use unconscious, but then again she was also of no use to anyone dead.

Rudy, was that what the one with the silky black hair had called this human? Rudy was placing Frost on a bottom bunk in a small room, the only light source coming from a rather large window on the back wall. A warm cloth was pressed against her face, close to her lips and Frost was almost tempted by the lull of sleep. "I-I...." Frost struggled to prop herself up, "help... them," she gasped, trying to roll out of the bed. Why was her body taking so long to mend? It was then that Frost remembered Sora and her promise that she would make Frost suffer for that little stunt the Goddess had pulled before escaping.

After what felt like forever (but was most likely only a few seconds), Frost managed to sit up and winced at a loud noise that came from outside. "They're g-gonna k-kill," she began to stutter and took a deep breath; she needed to calm down. The Titans did not shy away from killing humans and she knew that even though Raidon had shown a bit of mercy when she was captive; Frost also knew that he had his own agenda. "Them..."

"Bloody fuckin' brilliant. Couldn't have sent a hydra or a minotaur, could you?", Faust muttered under her breath, sighing in mild exasperation at the two hostile figures. She'd seen it coming, of course-- shit always hit the fan one way or another, and usually faster than she liked; nevermind how her monster-senses had been tingling for the past hour. Faust wished, for once, that things wouldn't be quite so predictable (and therefore would make everything infinitely simpler) but then again, karma had never been kind to her in any respect, least of all this. 'And, fine, I might have underestimated Frost's worth a little. But really, two of them's a bit much.' At least it seemed as though the humans had a death wish-- some of them had the resilience of a damn cockroach. If they were this committed already, then perhaps the kid-God had a chance in their company. Who knew.

And Frost was safely... somewhere, anyway. Which, Faust admitted, was a pretty nifty move on the human's part; shame that they were facing terrible odds, kid might've made it to accomplish things. It made Faust feel a wee bit sympathetic, with the looming threat of imminent death, more if it weren't for the fact that it was looking mighty questionable whether or not she was going to make it out alive. Figured that a few centuries of peace meant a violent and entirely unjustified demise. 'Bloody fantastic, isn't it?'

She idly wondered if Cerberus was having a jolly enough time down in the Underworld. Maybe there was some kind of incredibly convenient teleportation spell (with a wand or something? She'd found Harry Potter extremely ridiculous a quarter through the first book) to switch her with him-- he'd always had more of a thing with fighting. Faust, though; 'too old for this shit'. What the fuck was it, anyway, with the psychopathic fascination? What was it that made Gods, Titans, monsters, and even humans so fixated on strength? Where did all the logic go, the philosophical intelligence to make rational decisions?

Obviously Life was a little mental, to make two of the greatest powers chase each other infinitely through time. Hate was so much a simple thing, the Gods and the Titans achieved as much as a dog did running after it's own tail. 'Which would be a great load of nothing.' Faust had never wanted anything to do with them, they were so fucking pointless--

"Time! hell ya only five minutes!"

--but Death was kind of a bitch. Both literally and figuratively. She still didn't want anything to do with them.

'Fuck.'

She sighed, taking a drag out of the smoke that had mysteriously appeared sometime between the Titans' arrival to now. Faust had been relatively silent and unmoving the entire while, weighing the options and her general level of commitment. She didn't really think Frost so personally important to so easily risk her life protecting her, but there was something a little like pity there (kid's stuck, half-dead, on earth with nothing but teenagers. Who wouldn't feel sorry for her?). If Faust wasn't keen on fighting, then perhaps being diplomatic could be worth a try. Barter for time, anyway. Most powerful beings were pretentious, easily baited into defending their pride-- something volatile, self-destructive.

Why were both of them still around, anyway? There certainly wasn't much stopping them from pursuing Frost: three humans and a monster. Laughable. 'Whatever.'

"Unlike them, I'm not suicidal", Faust shrugged, "Do as you will. But did you really deteriorate that much in the Underworld? For there to be two of you-- were Titans so weak to be unable to capture a mostly defenseless Goddess on their own?" If it hadn't felt like the height of summer before, it certainly did now; an unfortunate side-effect of Faust's betraying her alert nature. In all honesty, she didn't intend on bloodshed still, kid's just an asshole. "Or would you blame the throne, that living in the Gods' tower has made you weak? You've accomplished just as much as they have up there. Which would be, unless you'd like to enlighten me, nothing."

Her tone wasn't so much caustic as sarcastic, slightly mocking. She wasn't particularly threatening really, just being diplomatic. (Ha.)

Raidon


While they ran, Raidon thought of using his powers to dash ahead and meet the group first for his plan, but decided against it. once they reached a certain point, he unequipped his weapons and removed his armor. He just pushed the daggers away with a shake of the head when she tried to give him her daggers, he was sure he'd be fine. When Miri identified one as a monster, he was quite surprised. He didn't hear of monsters traveling with humans and a god often. Sighing he put back on his armor and re-equipped his swords. "That's a bit sad, I would have rather gone through this without interference." he said to Miri. He stood calmly if not a bit relaxed and observed instead of really talking. He noted stuff down in his head about each person as they talked. When the black haired girl rambled then ran away with Frost he smiled and stuck his hand in front of Miri, in case she tried to give chase. "I want to see where she's going with this, we can get Frost after we deal with this, if worst comes to worst I can just dash past them anyway." He let out a small laugh as the girl who was actually a monster spoke. "Big mouthed and brave not bad, would you rather me have sent the rook? You must know which one I am? Why not just go with your instinct and run before the storm breaks out?" He calmed down again after that. It was a bit sad, if they had met in a different situation Raidon might have tried to befriend her.

When the girl returned from wherever she took Frost with a bow, he couldn't help but let a small smile break, even with the odds against them they were going to try and protect a girl they probably had only recently met. He began to point at each in turn "The girl was right, your hammer will need to be held with a lot of skill to make a difference against swordsmen, though I applaud your determination to protect the weak. You girl are quite have some impressive thinking, a bow is a good idea and would be an advantage. Though in this case you are still quite out matched." Before he cold start on what he had gathered of Faust, she spoke. He stared her straight in the eye, the sky now matching the grey of his eyes as he continued charging it once Frost was out of the way. Though his right eye twitched once he showed no other sign of anger, though Miri could probably see the tiniest bit of red flash in his aura. "Well you see, we just arrived and hadn't had much time to search. I can definitely now say how you know what the underworld is like, would you like me to tell them any of my guesses as to what you are?" He suddenly thought of something. He leaned toward Miri and whispered so only she could hear. "Hey Miri? I have a plan to get you through them to chase after Frost. I can't tell you right now I just need to know if you agree or not."
