THE FIRES OF GREED WILL BURN THE WEAK // private

[Hope Arcanium]

She didn’t have the... privilege? Was that the correct term here? Honor? Ah, whatever. She didn’t have the honor of being involved with the god fights as much as she would have liked, seeing as how it didn’t just involve Rin anymore, but the entirety of Elysium. Elysium was also part of her extended family, and it now made this war much more personal. The longer she stayed around Rin to see the effects these events had on her, the more it made the rage within the hybrid boil, a desire to shred into the gods’ flesh herself was now a common feeling for her. A common goal and desire. Fuck these so-called gods that tried to kill their former followers just because they chose of their own free will that it was a horrible idea to keep doing so. Why grant that kind of power to people if you were to kill them for control?

Player did have the occasional thought of ‘if I were a god...’ scenarios, and what she would correct and do right by those that chose to fly beneath her wings. But she never once thought of herself that highly, it was more of a... righteous thought process than actually desiring that power to begin with. She didn’t like the idea of having that kind of ability over people, and would likely instead, if it happened to be given to her, give the people freedom to do what they choose, so long as it was for the benefit of those around them and harmed none. Balance, is what she desired, freedom and justice against the wrong.

Quietly in the silence of the night the feline-fox hybrid would walk into the deeper parts of Elysium territory, eyes ever watchful. Her main focus was on eliminating every target that deemed itself a threat to the group, especially if she felt, or knew, that it was tied to the gods that they were currently fighting. She was a predator hunting supernatural prey, her posture low to the ground, never staggering, gaze carefully trained on her surroundings.

It was her time to punch a fucking god in the face. She would not be denied the pleasure of doing such a thing this time around. As soon as they came, she would strike. She would wound, and hopefully kill. Let them know that she had no time to fuck around, and refused to let them touch Elysium, let alone Rin or her girlfriend Kade. They were the last remaining original Ascendants, which gave her some sense of pride to fuel this endeavor, too.

These feelings were what drove her to go to this extreme this night. She would not allow them into the territory without a fight, or death. When you threaten friends and family, someone was going to fucking get slapped at the very least. You didn’t touch them and get away with it.

Her patrol hadn’t been going for long- and she soon felt as if she were being tailed. By what or whom, she had a hunch. But she couldn’t be sure until they showed themselves. She was lowkey glad it was her they were after and not the others, at least not yet.

She stopped suddenly, giving a harsh barking command,

“Show yourself!”
