You know the first rule in combat? Shoot them before they shoot you.

Isla Greer
I did it. She's back now.
Isla suddenly felt dizzy. Everything was healing. Her wounds, stitching themselves together. Her dark magic vanquishing itself, power flooding out of her and into the stratosphere.
No more magic.
And then her head hit the ground with a thump.
Adrik Volkov
Adrik jumped as she fell. "Isla!" he gasped. But she didn't say anything, merely lay motionless on the ground. "What happened to her?"
He whipped to glare at the time user. "What did you do to her now?"

Adrik Volkov
"Ugh, you're useless." He shot Iteral a glare then turned away. Isla was still on the ground. He hurried to her and checked her pulse. Still going. He flipped her over and-
Oh.
His heart stopped momentarily.
Had he ever seen her asleep? In all the time he'd known her?
It hurt, knowing she didn't trust him that much. That ultimately, only when she found she had nothing left to live for that she was willing to trust him with her safety.
And not even. She trusted her own enemies. Even the time witch she'd sworn vengeance on.

Adrik Volkov
"You think I give a damn about how you feel?" Adrik scoffed. The pain was welling up in his chest. He shoved it down, down, bringing up nights full of anger and loathing. "It's all your fault. If you'd just died, then none of this would've happened."
At this point, he wasn't even sure who he was talking to.
"She hated you, you know that? Probably wished for your death more than anything? Yeah, she loved you and then you failed her and she-"
His breath caught in his throat.
"I-I mean-"

After an exhale, she just extends a hand. "... you seem to have a turbulent mind... can I help you with anything?"
Out of the souls that were wandering, one was a little more reclusive. A pearl colored sphere, leaving a little trail of lily-shaped particles. Though when the Saint Deity restores, both of them actually, it swirled around in delight, floating in the exact center between them.

"...I don't think it's my place to be here."
He shoved his hands in his pockets, sounding fairly monotone.
wickedness?
Or is it
weakness?
You decide.

"...Still, those two hate me."
he muttered quietly.
"But, whatever, I guess."

Adrik Volkov
Adrik bit his lip, indecisive. Part of him wanted to rip the woman off of Isla. What right did she have to touch her, when Isla Greer flinched away from even him?
But...
He met her eyes. "Wherever Isla is, I will follow."

Kendo's voice was dry, sarcastic.
"Though, as a guard dog myself, I suppose I can't criticize much."

Aret moved slightly, shifting closer to Isla.

Adrik Volkov
Guard dog? Adrik thought bitterly. Who were you guarding there? The grass? A legion of small-time Snavian recruits trampling your precious lawn and you slaughter the whole lot of them?
But he chose to ignore Kendo and instead smiled at Mona, "Of course. I was born in Macedon. This will always be my home country. I just hope I can provide a fresh perspective to make up for all the mistakes of the past."
The kinds of mistakes that lead to a thousand murdered Snavian soldiers. To Hannah's death. To Isla-
He took in a shaky breath.
"I really think... we can do better, if we can only figure out what we've done wrong."
He glanced at Isla, who seemed to be smiling in her sleep, and cuddling closer to the girl in her arms. He felt a stupid little grin come over his face. Though there were some things... that were already right.

His voice was calm, as he smiled at Adrik.
he gave a small bow, before going quiet.

Adrik Volkov
"Watch your spears, murderer." Adrik glared coldly back at him.
I'm willing to fulfill my promise, right here and now, if you so choose. he vowed. He was unfortunately dragged out of his thoughts by the time user.
He turned to face her. "Books. And... proximity to Isla's, please." He looked down at his shaking hands. "I think she'll need me for a little while."
Suddenly, Isla gave a start. "Where...?" She mumbled.
In a second he was by her side. "Isla? Isla, are you okay?"
Posted: Tue, 15/08/2023 01:17 (1 Year ago)
He started to laugh but stopped, his grin fading.
"Yeah, I'm a murderer. So what? What are you gonna do about it, Adrik Volkov? What can you do about it?"
His voice was calm, deathly cold.
