As the swordswoman fell, Djedre saw an opportunity to free her comrade... through violence.

Sure enough, even as Arnvidar tried to roll away, the guard's axe lodged itself firmly in his torso, sending enough pain to render him unconscious.

As the backline's prospects began to look dire, guards approaching the ringing of combat turned the corner, and noticed the bloody scuffle. They began to rush in closer, weapons in hand.

Meanwhile, near the staircase, a terrified wizard began to hurriedly rush up and out of this dungeon floor, face-to-face with the danger of Morrigan Highwind.

"By my calculations, it should have been... about two minutes." Claus looks behind him, and peeks around the corner down the hallway. A confused expression fell on his face. "Miss Knight— I don't have a watch, but I can tell that it has been about two minutes! Best to return and leave... one moment." Claus paused, looking down at his notebook— it's only then that it becomes apparent that Claus had been studying and writing in the middle of a battlefield. "Arnvidar! Him, yes. You need to leave him— we need more numbers to push through here! As much as I'd like to be one of those numbers, but alas..." Claus sighed up at the actual fighting past the hallway.

"ARNVIDAR!"

She had experienced many hardships, and few moments of happiness, in her life. What always kept her spirits high though were the books she read. Stories about heroes rising up to great challenges and overcoming them. She admired to become like them, to break the chains kept upon her by her family and become her own person, someone like the manifold protagonists in her books. That is why she chose this life, instead of staying in exile. She wanted to make the world just a little bit more like the worlds in her stories and bring hope and idealism back into a world darkened by elitism and classism.

When she chose that life, she renounced her last name.

But now, as her comrade fell to the ground, something clicks within Djedre's head.

Or, rather, snaps.

Some things were never meant to be able to escape from.

Djedre fixates her gaze on the guard in front of her.

"... Commoner! I endured enough of this tasteless joke! First you dared to imprison me and now you strike down those that are under my aegis! Is that how you treat a lady from House Argenteolus and her entourage?! Yield your weapon at once and step aside, or face the wrath of a noblewoman whom you dared to draw blood from! Then all of you shall pray to be in jail yourself, for no other place on Corothis shall be capable of keeping you safe from ME!"

If the Guard does not yield, Push DEX and attack.

Unlurking Sentinel · « **Reply #333 on:** April 29, 2021, 03:49:29 pm »

The guard refused to be fazed by her claims of nobility, and braced himself for her desperate assault.

She was a demon to behold in this state, but given how fierce she already was in combat, a sudden sacrifice in morals did not enhance her fighting strength enough. She was superior to this single axeman in every way, but alone as she was...

"Curse you! Curse you all! Curse you all for turning a blind eye to the sufferings of an innocent boy! Does it please you to have his blood on your hands by your own ignorance?! Then fine! Come at me! Kill a child! Kill someone from House Argenteolus! Be the gears in the Empire's automata that exchanges blood for magic! See how much your loyalty pays off once your blood is the next sacrifice for 'the Empire's sake'! Spineless cowards!"

In face of her impeding doom, Djedre clutches at a hint of unrestrained freedom. Realizing that cruel joke, there is no longer a reason to repress what she truly feels about a society where only spellcasters can find fulfillment.

Blodeuyn heard the noble lady echo in the halls. She sigh more in annoyance if having to lug the cat around then anything but why would you go away from where you need to escape.

"Well that's unfortunate fancy lady could of be useful if she dropped that nobility for a bit. Not that I can do anything now anyway." She mused to herself as she leveled her gun at the mage in front of the old lady. "Hey old lady finish him off will ya." She said taking a shot at the mage.

Lenn'art casted a look back down the hall, a grimace crossing his face as he makes a movement to push back but stops himself. They had sounded too far away, even if the stone around him played tricks on his ears. Memories of comrades lost flood his mind for a moment before he shakes the thoughts away and dashes forwards, sensing a weakness in the enemy's backline.

Lenn'art goes to B15 and uses Goblin Punch on Wizard B.

Claus shrugged at hearing the knight's rage. That was that, and this is this. He moved up— brandishing a Phoenix Down and silently sticking it under Ivoh'to's nose as if to wake him up.

Past the remains of the soldier Morrigan had gutted, Lenn'art rushed to the remaining wizard, one hand holding his rod... and the other, a closed fist, tightly wound with fiendish power.

Wizard B is slain! Lenn'art's daunting aura fiercens!

The blue mage spun on his heel, generating momentum. The spinning hook landed across the wizard's jaw, with more than enough force to draw blood! But as the she attempted to retaliate, before she could strike back, a second swing landed into her chest, forcing a heart attack from the pain, and causing her to collapse to the ground. The sight was particularly horrifying for the remaining soldier.

All the while, the horned knight engaged the terrified soldier ahead of her.

Viverna, with her much larger sword, landed a strong blow in the soldier's side, who was nearly unable to dent her thick armor.

The resuscitation potency of the Phoenix Down is such that mere prolonged contact is sufficient to use it. Claus' flourish was unnecessary, yet amusing nonetheless.

Remembering his orders to hold the escaped prisoners back (and seeing no escape anyways), the mage soldier pulled back into a corner and prepared to sling spells at the armored target.

The first volley only manages to freeze the nearby wall. But with a second cast he was able to sting the fiery warrior, with frigid pain across her left arm and leg!

All the while, the wounded wizard from before continued to run. None of the prisoners could exactly hear what he was shouting, but it was probably a cry for help.

Frost creeped up her legs and across her torso, before thickening into ice. And as the ice broke, so did her consciousness.

"House Argenteolus? You think she was bluffing, to avoid her sentence?"
"I'm not sure. If she thought she could avoid punishment for whatever her crimes were, she would've wasted her breath at the gates, not while fleeing like a rat."
"Y'know, I heard an old rumor that Argenteolus once had a useless sow for one of his daughters. Though even if it's true, no one's seen head or tail of her for years. D'you think..."

The axe slips off from her hand. Her shieldarm becomes limp. Her rage cools and dissipates. The ice saps what little strength remained in her and she fell down. Her back was leaning against the wall as she collapses to the floor, the armor making an audible sound as its lower parts connect to the floor. An armored opponent is lost the moment they can no longer stand. Only clarity remains.

She lost.

In this moment, everything she knew about heroes, justice and good versus evil became shattered. Useless. Yet, it was all she knew about how the world should function in her mind. And she knew from these tales, now is the time a miracle manifests itself.

What would be a greater miracle than Djedre finally becoming one with the Argenteolus bloodline?

She channels her memories of things she'd prefer to forget. Countless hours of being taught magic, trying to put the lessons into practice and being chastised and ridiculed whenever she was unable to. Countless hours of feeling worthless. Subhuman. She slowly raises her empty hand, towards Arnvidar. Her memories became more livid. The words of Cure. The flow of Cure. The formulae of Cure. She learned it all. She buried these memories, but now, she can clearly see them again. Everything she could know about basic spellcasting, she already knew. And as simple as such a spell would be, right now, it would be the miracle she'd need.

"... C... Cu..."

She stops. It's the miracle she'd need. But it would mean rejecting everything she'd believe in. Nothing learned. Nothing gained. She'd gain her family's respect, maybe. But it would be a shallow love at best. She'd be in her golden cage once more, with eyes on her even sharper and more vigilant than before. It's a miracle an Argenteolus would want for their sake. But a miracle Djedre would not want.

Her open, outstretched hand forms a fist, index finger extended, pointing at Arnvidar.

"Cu... Cursed you will be... and your families... and your... children... by my... brother... Wylanth... if that man... or I... perish..."

And as the ice breaks, the remainder of her conciousness finally escapes her weak grasp.

She didn't become a hero.
She didn't become a legend.
She didn't become someone lauded by bards and studied by historians and hopeful children alike.

But she becomes something much more than that by sacrificing all of it.

She becomes Djedre.

With astonishing speed, compared to his prior performance, Akira made a sure score across the opposing swordsman's abdomen. Their rapier managed to graze his shoulder, but it was nothing life-threatening.
