Private Zakaden Crystal Clear

[Athena]

The light shimmered and refracted through the crystal ground of the shimmering flats. The further into the distance Athena looked, the more the light seemed to shimmer and distort, forming strange shapes that changed whenever she moved her head. What strange land she had found herself in. She walked forward a bit, her boots clacking on the smooth crystal below. The blonde priestess had been forced to swap out of usual sandals for a pair of boots which would give her the traction necessary for her training. The slippery ground was good to help her develop balance, but in her current state she needed some 'training wheels'.

Her fingers clasped around the hilt of her massive, sheathed greatsword, the scale set into the hilt jingling and shimmering in the light as she gently tapped the tip onto the ground. "Be with me Endra as I strive to gain the strength necessary to enforce your will on this world." The words were hushed and reverent as she looked up to the sky, her golden hair flying around her in the wind.

After a minute or so of silence she hefted the hunk of metal in the air in front of her, swinging it slowly through the air as she attempted to control its arc. With Lucia's advice she was more determined than ever to gain strength on par with the gods in order that she may intervene on her goddess's behalf.

How far would you go to get stronger, to become something people could not walk over and mistreat? How far would it go if the fear of death was removed to achieve that very same goal? Thousand's hands tightly gripped the hilts of both his swords as he looked at the crystalline undead creatures as they shambled towards him. A twisted grin across his face as he lowered his stance and rushed towards them while he could only chuckle behind the grin before speaking.

"Well you lot ain't the strongest things I've come across but least your dumb enough to fight and smart enough to use numbers I guess ha-ha.~"

His voice cutting the silence as soon the clashing of steel and crystal would take that place. Weapons cutting and cracking the crystal crust around the undead thralls while their clawed hands dug into Thousand who just laughed and kept fighting. Arcane weapons forming and dancing around him to act as his defense while the young adult was purely focused on offence outside this fact. It also was more like the arcane swords chose to attack before an attack could come to him as offence was all he cared to train.

"Come on you crystal slow pokes keep trying, don't make this a one sided slaughter that ain't training at all!"

His frame hopping backward to adjust his stance to try other things and partly to cure his lack of enjoyment in the matter. They moved sluggish, they could clearly be tracked to know how to evade them and they fell apart way to easy to make up for this. Yawning as he would place one of his swords away and just hold the other with both hands. Why go all out on weak things, it was just boring in his eyes.

Her blade swished loudly as it clumsily slashed through the air, tip wavering as she struggled to control the unbalanced weight. Maybe if she could take it out of it's sheath, but she had yet to figure out how. Maybe there wasn't even a blade inside and she had been scammed.

Just then her heightened sense of hearing picked up the sounds of battle in the distance. Her training could wait, helping those in need was one of her duties as an envoy of Endra. As she approached she could sense the presence of a variety of creatures, and one man with an impressive magical aura. She could see it flowing around him as he fought off the enemies. She cocked her head to the side, drawing closer. He seemed to be doing a fine job, but without the context of the situation she hesitated to leave him alone. "I will save you in the name of Endra!"

It was decided. She tightened her blindfold with a yank before drawing her sword up and dashing in behind the man, her sword whooshing through the air and slamming into a crystal thrall, shattering it's crystal outside easily. She stumbled, barely catching her balance before swinging a downwards strike onto another thrall, crushing it too. Her combat style was clumsy, and she swung her sword like a drunk wielding a baseball bat, but nonetheless it was very effective versus the crystal thralls.

Thousand's expression when from mildly annoyed to fully annoyed as the stranger rushed in, and tried to 'save' him from a fight he had no issue dealing with himself. Grumbling as he watched them use great sword the wrong way only made him more annoyed as he growled and sent the arcane weapons into a crystal thrall and glared at the woman. Why was he always finding people that wanted to 'save' or 'advise' or 'help' him when all he wanted was to kill things?

"I don't need saving and I sure as hell don't know a damn Endra. So take your little charity bitch ass elsewhere and let me keep killing things aight? great, good talk bye now."

Thousand growled every word out as he moved to jump and cleave a thrall in two with his weapon. Without both weapons in hand he was able to use more power, and add that with the momentum he could build and he was a force of nature at times. That said though as the remaining thrall shirked and attacked him even he could tell it was not a final ditch war cry but a call for backup. A grin growing across his face as he wondered how many would come out to play this time.

"Aye, about time you thinks called for help, wonder how many are coming. Six, fifteen, oh least thirty this time so it's a real challenge!"

Thousand chanted the numbers as he redrew his other sword looking for the extra threats that might come as he toyed with the last alive, deflecting attacks with shall swings and just playing with his food it seemed. The only thing that mattered was fighting in this game, death was just a sign he was still far from strong enough. He did not need someone to save him from a fight, he needed someone to give him a real challenge as he screamed out for more things to fight and sent arcane flares to draw things to him. The only thing he needed saving from was himself.

Athena scowled at the man child. If he wanted to suicide, fine, but he wasn't about to call her names. He would know who Endra was by the time she was done with him. She slammed her boot into the ground, sliding in front of the man and the last enemy. With a loud crash the flat of her blade slammed into it, crushing it into a twitching mess in front of her. She placed her booted on the twitching corpse, turning around to face him.

"Calm your tits kid. If you want to die, go for it, but you're off your rocker if you think you get to name call someone trying to help you." She ground her heel into the twitching thrall with a loud crunch. She raised her sword, the waver gone as she waved it around in the air in front of his face.

"Now im not leaving until I get an apology to Endra and myself, you hear me you little shit?" She clenched her teeth angrily as she stared him down.

"Ehh?"

His once eager playfulness for fighting dashed as the annoying woman decided to kill the last enemy he was toying with in hopes it would keep calling out for help to let him fight more of the creatures. Atop that she had the gull to call someone out for name calling and did it herself, hypocrite if he every seen one as he just yawned and started to walk back the way he had come from chasing the hoard around up to the point they fought him.

"I ain't asked for help? Nope don't recall it. I ain't heard your name, so for all I fucking know it could very well be charity bitch ass? yep checks out if you ever watched that old ass cartoon SpongeBob where they played that name knowledge game or whatever. Hell some parents named their kid 'Tacobell Barry Alan west' in the daycare I work at so really does not shock me."

Thousand spoke as he kept walking, even if the woman tried to get in his way he would have no issue moving around or if needed faster then she could keep up if he really got annoyed. She was over here trying to be the 'high horse I'm in the right' Karen and he would have no point fueling her little delusional self serving mindset. People pissed you off every day, just ignore them and move on. Waving as he would then place his swords back into their sheaths and clip them so they would not fall out if he picked up speed.

"So you can stay there and wait till you kick the bucket for that apology, because far as I'm concerned 'KAREN' I did nothing wrong or need to say sorry for."
