[b]Serena doesn't seem at all concerned, albeit a grin crosses her expression. She does, however, prepare nonetheless. The air around her sparks briefly, her stance changes to poise, and idleness creeps forth as we eyes close.[/b] [spoiler][b]Assuming[/b] that is your [b]only[/b] individual, watch your step. If not, watch anyway.[/spoiler]

[b]It swings at your legs, inches from your kneecap.[/b]

The sound of a mechanical crash against solid rock can be heard from above. But the grass was there normally, as if it were real... But it wasn't. Serena doesn't miss a beat, her stance remains, but she seems to laugh slightly. She gets ready for the inevitable second or third, maybe more, does to come out of the shadows, or sky.[/b]

[b]It hooks its claws into the wall, climbing upwards. As soon as its above ground, it Blinks towards you, tackling you to the ground.[/b]
-
[b]She rolls backwards, kicking in the arc and launching it the other direction with it's own momentum[/b]
-
[spoiler]Sorry, I had work.[/spoiler] [b]The thing digs its claws into the ground, twisting at unnatural angles until it's upright again. It jitters and twitches, giving off a purple hue. It begins circling Serenity.[/b]
-
[b]She assumes the same stance, her eyes glowing a purple hue as she tracks her opponent.[/b]
-
[b]The jitters become more spastic, and it lets out a sound akin to nails on a chalkboard. The clicking sounds multiply, surrounding the field.[/b]
-
[b]She waits[/b]

[b]Dante treads over to the holes; a long object, wrapped in cloth is holstered on his back.[/b] I was wondering who could've took the life of my sister-in-arms, but you don't have the look of a murderer. At least, not with that... [b]He points to his eyes, gesturing to you.[/b] ...façade masking who you are.
-
[b]She keeps the machine to her field of view, turning to face the newcomer[/b] Are you with sparky over here? Sure don't look like it...
-
[b]He removes the object from his back, keeping it wrapped.[/b] No, heh, I'm not the sort who works with others. Rather, I called for someone to fetch you, and he happily obliged. Though it would seem he ditched the good cop bad cop play and went straight for the kill.
-
[b]She doesn't change her position, posture, or even voice, but you can tell she's thinking of something...[/b] Fetch me, dead I'm assuming from the "straight for the kill" part. Have we had the chance for proportion introduction or are you going to be like sparky?
-
Alive, actually. But I will not treat you with the same hostility should you comply. [b]He formally bows to you.[/b] My name is Dante Savona. I hail from the far east, but serve a most loyal princess from a neighboring region. [b]He stands back up, smirking a curious grin.[/b] But alas, I would think those eyes would remember me. Perhaps you're just unaccustomed to them.
-
[b]She nods, not taking the risk of losing track of you or "sparky" by bowing[/b] You already know who I am, since you came for me. What do you mean by "comply"? [b]She grins back after a moment, you can't tell if it's sincere or not[/b] You seem fixated on my eyes...
-
I need to ask you a few questions with my associates regarding a friend long past. As for your eyes, I am mesmerized by them. [b]He pauses, his eyes begin to glow with a vibrant lime green.[/b] Mostly because I know they don't belong to you.
-
Hmm, suppose it couldn't hurt to bring your glowy eyed people out here.
-
You misunderstand, you need to come with us to the old Kingdom by the bay. I believe you know of it as well. So, will you come quietly? Or must I make you swallow your pride?
-
If you honestly believe you could, doesn't mean you will.... [b]She hesitates, then speaks softly[/b] Old kingdom by the bay.... Perth....?
-
So you do know. [b]He holds the object close to his body, unwrapping part of it to reveal a needle-like estoc.[/b] Catheris, or Erisine, whatever you choose to call yourself, why have you not spoken to this poor lady yet? She must be dumbfounded by current events... [b]He holds the estoc up in the light, admiring it as the sun shimmers off the flawlessly forged weapon.[/b]
-
[b]She watches you closely now, waiting for your next move or next comment. Interested, and not planning on interrupting you.[/b]
-
This was a personal favorite of your mentor. A weapon as elegant and lethal as her. [b]He wraps it underneath the cloth along with the other object, the holsters it on his back.[/b] I'm not quite sure why she chose you to succeed her, but I'm almost certain she would not have given you her powers willingly. Will you come with me or must we do this here?
-
As long as it's talk you want I'm fine with it. So far I'm obviously not going to be very trusting of you~ [b]She shrugs, then looks to wherever the ignus thing disappeared to, then back to you[/b]
-
And you have good reason to be. I'm not the most sensitive man of others, it would be unnatural for me to care about my targets... But you are an anomaly. What did you to June? How did you get those powers of yours?
