"Welcome, Flower," Satori called back to June as he felt her ki suddenly into the portal. A wide grin spreading across his lips as he watched the massive Giant straight and grasp his Warhammer with a shaking hand. Mana bursting along his body as he focused his energy directly into his weapon, harnessing its power before his pupil's dilated.
Hania's words caused a chuckle to pass from his chest, so the giant was insulting him as a show of force knowing he was outmatched hm?
"I'll honor your stubbornness at least," Satori murmured before his grip on the spear tightened. Mana exploding along his body as he suddenly flickered forward, the Giant grunting and spinning the Warhammer--before striking a complete after-image. Satori's speed so many times faster than anything the Fangor could do that he had no chance when the man got going. The afterimage deteriorated from its blur as the hole appeared through Fangor's chest. Causing the massive body to fall, smashing into the ground with a resounding explosion as Satori landed with a grunt.
Flicking the blood from the bone spear's tip before shifting his gaze back toward Hania and June, smiling slightly as he stepped forward and leaned down. Kissing his first love without a shred of hesitation as the body fell behind him, large glowing aura wings flexing twice before his head tilted to the side slightly. This was the first time his love had seen his new Beast Aura magic. A hum filled his chest as through the kiss, June found the exact same spells he'd cast on himself, and Hania transfer through the contact to her.
Glowing wings of a bird, the paws of a bear around her hands, strikes decorating her body with the legs of a lion. All spectral and vaguely see-through floated around her body like armor as the wings flexed behind her. Bladed feathers catching the light and glinting with silver. Smiling slightly he straightened, blinking at the familiarity between Hania and June.
"Hmm, so introductions aren't needed then, good," Satori chuckled softly, before resting his hands on his hips.
"I'm glad you could make it, Flower. They're actually so damn durable that it's a struggle for me to end them swiftly." A grin split his lips wide.
"I think I finally found a good spot to use the contract on. Next time I think." The contract had been an artifact that he'd found during the war, the scroll could warp a Dungeon with an ancient Devil's contract. Empowering the dungeon in return for great rewards, theoretically. But even if there weren't better rewards, a greater challenge would be well worth it as well.
"For now though," he straightened as his wings flexed slightly and glanced around. Frowning slightly in thought as he stepped forward, feeling out with his ki and following the life signatures quietly. Approaching the edge of the canyon, Satori's brow lifted.
"A stairway, small though," he mused. Far too small in fact. The Giant's could never fit, so what lived here? He couldn't be certain.
Lifting a hand up, Satori appeared to 'grab' something. The air itself warping around his grip as his eyes glowed a silver light, twisting as the air seemed to fold around them. Compressing into a single point as Satori manipulated the Mana Zone. Forcing an encampment to form within the area as he grunted, lowering his hand after it finished.
"A Dungeon where the very first room has enough mana for me to craft an encampment, what a monstrous thing," he said with a dry chuckle.
<Entering F2 R1: Choosing Invasion Route>
Shaking his head the large man began to make his way down the pathway carefully, folding his wings for now. Flying down would make them a target after all. He could still hear the sounds of battle above, they'd just cleared out those in the immediate area, nothing more. As he walked, Satori focused downward. He felt several ki signatures below. Pausing at a doorway that led into the mountain, Satori glanced within it.
He felt the undead signatures, and his eyes narrowed slightly. But the choice seemed... too obvious. Grunting, Satori turned and faced back toward June and Hania.
"I vote we handle the Giant's first. We can always fall back to the encampment to examine the passage next. I'd like to understand the dungeon more before we go diving into undead tunnels." The words were dry before Satori would shift his gaze toward the edge of the stairs. Bellow them was a cascade of life signatures, multiple giants filling the ravine all braced for battle. It made sense, they had attackers above after all.
Satori sucked his teeth in annoyance as he opened both hands up and began to gather the remnants of his static electricity.
"Flower," he called to her simply as he glanced back. "I'm going to give them a greeting. After I do, can I trust you to trap them inside your barriers? We want to force them to attack it, so layer them with weaker ones and force them to break them so that they sustain as much damage as possible. That should weaken them enough so that when we engage in melee combat they won't be as difficult to take down." Their raw durability was a serious issue, unfortunately, but he still had some of his electricity at least.
Otherwise, this really would take a very long time using nothing but pure physical reinforcement magic. Once he heard his loves affirmative, Satori lifted the spear up and closed his eyes. Mana suddenly began to spark and crackle along it's tip, gathering around it before spinning the weapon and slamming it downward.
<Entering F3 R1> <30 Giants, 5 Giant Commanders>
For a moment, there was nothing. However, several moments later lightning suddenly exploded across the entire canyon entrance. A storm overtaking the entire field, blinding all of the Giants that screamed in confusion and pain. Bolts of lightning rained from the sky, flooding the gorge with curses, explosions, and all manner of hell and suffering as they were electrocuted, weakened, cursed, blinded, and bombarded with lightning.
The next moment the bubble of water formed, drowning all that swung their weapons at the defense before Satori leaped from the edge. Spinning the spear as his wings burst from his back and shooting downward. Trusting Hania and June to follow when ready as the beast aura magic that coated him flooded his system. When the bubble exploded, having drowned and damaged the giant's event further, Satori's lip curled upward in amusement as he smashed into the wall of thirty giants.
Wings launched bladed feathers into his enemies as the thirty giants and five commanders were sent scattering in all directions, like a bowling ball through giant pins. But due to the size difference, it was more mind-bogglingly akin to a large marble against the pins. Satori ended his swath through their numbers in a blinding blitz of speed to slam the spear into the chest of one Giant, before repeatedly stomping his foot into the commander's skull. Crushing it underfoot.
The giants, now all injured, blinded, and confused due to the raw speed of the combination began bellowing out orders into the chaos as Satori spun the spear and slammed it into the back of his next victim. Another commander impaled, then the spear twisted and suddenly multiple stabs slamming into the Commander's back before he could even properly react.
Grinning wide, Satori launched forward and spun the spear to crack into the back of one's leg. Snapping it, and slamming the tip into the Commander's throat. Twisting the blade and dragging it out as he felt Hania and June's arrival as well.
"I think I gave us a decent start," Satori stated simply before leveling the spear on his next target, another Commander that was struggling to get up after the static electricity that was coursing through her body.
<30 Giants are now at 0/2 Mana Skin and 7/16 Health> <4 Giant Commanders Dead> <1 Giant Commander at 0/8 Mana Skin, and 12/16 Health>
Maintaining his other spells. Satori then cast Senior Hex Bolt, Storm and Thunderball.
Momentum gives +9 speed and +Junior +1/2 Junior Strength.
Senior spell spam deals damage to all of the giants causing them to lose their mana skin, the leftover Intermediate+Grand damage is then halfed dealing Senior+Junior damage to all of their health due to their resistance to all damage. They also all lose their one buffing spell they are adding to their speed, lose 30 of their mana regen/post, and suffer -6 to their power/durability atop the -10 to all stats they're already suffering.
Wings then deal Grand damage to all of them via ammo rules by speed-blitzing the entire squad of them with his speed and flight mobility. Halfed due to their resistance to Senior damage.
He then uses his physical damage to deal Archmage x3 damage in order to then finish off 4 of the 5 commanders via his Brute perk.

Hania had been watching the elder male fight the giant leader from his position, there was still so much going on just beyond what he could feel. Soon enough he felt another mana signature enter the area, it felt familiar enough to not believe it was a threat but he was still on edge. It was hard not to be given where they currently were and what they had been fighting. He was just about to turn around when he actually heard the new arrival "Greetings Lady Silva, it is a pleasant surprise to see you here with us." he said with a gentle tone, his left hand going to his chest as his right hand moved a little away from him, as always his hand was flat and faced towards her as he bowed slightly. He had just started to raise his mask and be who he really was but with the other's arrival things now had become complicated for him.
'You don't need to do it.' Amostia sent to him as Hania's eyes had closed 'You don't understand Amostia.' he sent back, things had a way of working, he had to be careful, he knew this and so he would. 'You're being an idiot, holding back in here could put you and the others in danger.' Amostia scolded the youth 'Amostia, it doesn't matter if I hold back Satori and June are far stronger than I, we both know this.' he said knowing it to be the truth of things. 'That mask has to come off sometime Hania.' Amostia continued making the white-haired teen roll his eyes "Amostia, if I needed to be scolded I would go talk to my nanny and get it there, believe me, she's far scarier than anything in this place." he said his tone was stoic the entire time.
He could only imagine how she would react if she got reckless as he wasn't completely recovered, let alone in the eyes of another main house. Not just any house, the house of Silva. He knew from the few interactions that they had she was far from the conventional members of her family. Like him likely the black sheep but for entirely different reasons. "I wouldn't say fun is the best way to put it but they do find us to be bugs and bats." he said with a small shrug "Autumn believes you are still that small delicate bud she nurtured and raised, I have that same issue with my own nanny. They just don't want to see us harmed so don't hold it against her." he said moving his eyes back towards Fangor and Satori.
"The big brute there is called Satori and the unfortunate giant is called Fangor." he said making a joke, he wasn't too sure if it would go over well but he at least tried. "It would seem I am not the only one." he said noticing as Satori called out to her "I wouldn't want to step on toes so perhaps I should stop flattering you in such a manner." He knew the taller male would likely not mind but he himself believed that he was stepping over a line and so would pull himself back from it. The fight seemed like a straight forward one as the giant obviously didn't see how outmatched it was. He had to applaud the tenacity of the warrior though, but, it ended as expected and the giant finally fell.
Satori walked towards the two onlookers and without hesitation kissed June, he moved away to allow them privacy as he had when he first met Eve. He had no issue with people showing affection to each other, it did make him feel somewhat of a third wheel at that point in time. He instantly felt the want to leave due to the discomfort he was feeling though not showing and the fact he knew he would just slow the two stronger mages down. "We done a modelling job together not so long ago." he said calmly as he stood next to the portal. He was really unsure if he should be here, his eyes going to the portal once more.
He had given no word or promise to go through this place, so he could leave without feeling a pit in his stomach, but then, how would it make him look as a person bothered him. He was as stubborn as the best of them but there were a lot of pieces for him, so evaluated each move and the fallout that it may bring with it. He really didn't like how this would make him look and so would need to stick it out till the end. He said nothing about what was happening behind him, he hadn't really spent time in any dungeons so where he knew what an encampment meant he had never seen it in action first hand.
Floor 2, Room 1
Feeling movement he turned around and looked at Satori, it would seem like they were on the go. There had been two paths available but it would seem without talking to anyone the route was chosen for them. He was in no position to argue and so just walked down the path quietly, the wings folding as he did so. On his shoulder perched Amostia who seemed more than a bit irked at the youth that only the pair knew about. He didn't need to have Ki to feel what was going on below anyone not deaf could hear it, it sounded like more of the same. This was going to be a long dungeon that was going to get on his nerves he could already foresee it. Satori looked back at the pair as they eventually stopped his eyes tracing the ways that they could go going on where Satori was looking.
He had voted for them to take care of the giant's first. He did put forward a strong argument but he didn't wait to see if anyone else had any input on what they wanted to do. Hania had already looked over the ledge a little and he really didn't like what he was seeing, it was like a stampede of troll warriors. He knew he was in way over his head on this but it wasn't exactly like he could turn back. A strategy was given to June, while nothing was said to him. He knew he wasn't strong enough for this place and that two hits would likely make him some sort of dead. He liked breathing too much to become jam or some giant's next meal, in honesty he just didn't feel like he belonged in this place or with the other two.
Floor 3, Room 1
He had followed Satori watching what was to come 'Do you always feel this uncomfortable?' Amostia would ask the teenager, Hania shook his head slightly once in reply 'Then why do you feel it now?' the ice spirit asked. 'What does it matter?' Hania asked watching as lightning exploded along the canyon as if some sort of chain lightning effect had happened. The screams and grunts of pain made him put his hand to his head. It wasn't exactly a wise choice given where he was standing, Amostia taking to the sky to pull him back by the back of his shit using his talons helping the youth to stumble back a few steps "Appreciated." he said simply "You're going to get yourself killed." the bird said his tone showing annoyance "Yes because I like being triggered in life or death situations... I love it so much that I can't wait for the next one." he almost yelled back in just as much anger.
"Gods I hate you sometimes." he almost growled, he never asked to be afflicted the way he was and he was working through the issues as he always had. There was no miracle cure or spell that worked on whatever plagued him and he knew it wasn't going to just go away suddenly. Between the small trigger and the argument he had missed much of what was going on, he looked down the best he could from where he was and saw the mass confusion that the attacks had created. "We're under attack. Regroup. They only managed to do what they did due to a surprise attack. We have greater numbers. We'll win. Attack formation." he stated translating what was being said near word for word.
Hania wanted to enter the fray but he didn't, he stood watching Satori and June when she entered, he knew he shouldn't. He wanted to feel the joy he had previously but things had changed between then and now. He knew he could fight through worse than the small trigger that he just had, hell he fought to the point he was blind deaf and ended in a coma for nine days. Still, he held back weighing his options on what he should do next. Lifting his mask willingly was off the table right now as far as he was concerned.

Hania greeted her formally as ever. June didn’t seem any less pleased to see him there despite the man insisting on calling her ‘Lady Silva’. Her eyes moved over to where Satori was bringing down Fangor, lingering on her fiance for a moment.
“Autumn struggles to let go of me. It’s gotten worse now that my marriage to Satori approaches… I believe she fears I’ll have no need for her once I’m wed. She is the sort who needs someone to look after. We grew up together though she was always looking after me.”
The joke the white-haired man made about the giant and her intended one caused the short woman to smirk, clearly amused.
“Satori indeed does resemble a beast at times, does he not? Though you may not be having fun just yet, this is one of my love’s favored diversions. You need not withhold any praise, he is well aware that Silvas are irresistible by nature.” The second half of the statement was delivered with a joking tone. The silvery-haired woman’s mouth twitched in silent laughter.
Satori’s approach ended the short chatter between the two nobles for the moment as the lightning mage pulled June in for a kiss. June returned the affection briefly before smacking her lover’s chest.
“Tori, Hania is here. I know you are shameless but he is not,” came the Silver Eagle’s red-faced protest. “That aside, I am a lady.”
June looked down, taking note of the magical enhancement Satori had bestowed upon her. Her brows rose in surprise. “You’ve developed new magic,” the noblewoman noted, flexing her hands. The bear’s paws moved in response.
Curiosity seemed to override any concerns about propriety or making Hania uncomfortable. Subtly, the short woman tested out the mana surrounding her body while the group moved towards the room’s exit. The bladed wings moved a bit, pushing June forward more than she expected. Fortunately, this wasn’t the first time she’d been enhanced by Satori’s magic, so the woman managed to stop before running into anything.
[floor 2, room 1]
When they reached the staircase the petite woman nodded at Satori’s observation that there was no way for giants to fit through the narrow passage. At best, a small giant might be able to crawl in and get stuck.
“I certainly don’t sense anything pleasant in that direction, let’s deal with the tunnels later,” June concurred when the lightning mage stated his preference for the giants.
[floor 3, room 1]
The petite woman peered over the edge of the ledge they stood on, observing several giants locked in combat. They hadn’t noticed the trio of mages just yet, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t. The element of surprise was short-lived thing after all.
As though he heard her thoughts, Satori announced his intention to use a surprise attack. June nodded and squinted to try and focus on the enemies. Lightning struck, the hot white element forming jagged arcs that forced the Silver Eagle to shield her eyes. Even if she had managed to keep her eyes open, she would have found herself blinded.
Once the light died down, the noblewoman forced her eyes open a bit, just enough to see the general location of the giants.
Five large bubbles of water began forming, trapping giants within them. As soon as the trapped giants inside the three smaller bubbles tried to bang on the walls of their water prisons, they found themselves drowning as water from the spell forced its way into every orifice. Any giants that attempted to assist them by striking at the barrier met a similar fate.
The two larger bubbles were more problematic for the crowd of giants. Rather than drowning those that pounded on its wall, the larger spell, Svalinn, penetrated several giants with high pressure streams of water. The water dug into the flesh of a few giants, leaving them bleeding out on the ground.
June stretched her bladed wings and descended upon the giants like a bird of prey. It wouldn’t take long for the giants to free themselves and their kin. They were powerful, each escape attempt causing her spells to tremble and undulate, bending under the powerful blows leveled against them.
One giant got the idea to amp up the power of his blows, calling upon magic to enhance his strength. He smashed the side of the defense spell with a warhammer, causing the bubble to burst. Despite having freed his brethren, the giant fell as water surged down his throat and up his nose, drowning him. After seeing this, the giants quickly began breaking the defense spells trapping them, sacrificing a few of their number to do so. Despite this, there were several giants on their last leg so to speak, still struggling to clear their lungs of water or losing consciousness from a multitude of deep wounds.
Unbothered by their escape, the Silver Eagle made use of those bladed wings that sprouted from her back to send herself barreling into the chest of one giant. At the last moment before contact, the wings Satori gave her folded around June, allowing the small woman to smash into the giant unharmed. The giant fell onto its back, several sharp feathers sticking out of its chest, and did not get up again. The wings flapped again, allowing the small woman to evade a club smashing down towards her. Rather than use the wings again, June merely punched that giant for her troubles, causing its face to cave in beneath the force of her fist. Quick to capitalize on the strength Bengal lent her, the noble woman flexed her wings to catapult herself at the next nearest giant, driving both of her feet into its temple.
Several newly freed giants began to converge on June’s location as the Silvery-haired woman flew upwards to escape. The spells Satori had cast on her gave her enough speed to become a blur as she led a small contingent of enraged enemies on a merry chase. Laughter echoed throughout the canyon. The rush of speed, of her heart pounding, adrenaline, and a hint of fear all came together, bubbling past her lips in the form of giggles.

"Shame is a useless emotion," Satori teased at his loves weak smacks to his chest. Amusement rumbling through his throat as he straightened, before nodding once at June's words. His gaze shifting toward the canyon as she tested her wings.
"It's Kiyoshi's," he explained simply as he slowly rotated the spear in his handcrafted from Kiyoshi's bones. Closing his eyes slightly and smiling as he felt the soft hum of the relic between his fingers before focusing back on the task at hand as he glanced back toward June.
She knew his lightning was fading, but he hadn't shown her the new magic he'd developed to cover for that loss just yet. He said nothing, she'd be able to make the connection that with his affinity for lightning fading he'd need a new source of power.
"Hmm, modeling is it?" Satori mused with a smirk as he glanced down toward Hania and June both at this idea.
"I'll have to get a few copies," he replied simply, smug at the idea of seeing them both in various clothing. His lip twitched a bit as he glanced toward Hania.
"I suppose you'd both look good in dresses, hm?" Satori teased with a wide grin, before they had to continue on their way. But he sensed the way Hania had fallen back behind his mask. He wouldn't force the teen out of it. If he wasn't comfortable enough to show his true self to June just yet, then that was that. The more time they spent together, the more comfortable with such they'd be.
It already felt like the two had a fairly decent bond, even if it was a bit superficial and surface-level. It was more than his love generally offered people. Smiling gently, Satori closed his eyes and let it be. Instead continuing on their route down into the actual Dungeon itself.
-- <Floor 3 Room 1, Continued>
Chaos was surrounding Satori as he glanced up at Hania as the teen yelled out the translation and pointed at him harshly.
"Get your ass down here and get combat practice, Hania!" he called firmly, there was no point in him participating in this if he just sat back and did nothing. Holding back was fine, but doing nothing was not. With that, Satori grunted as a massive club went flying toward him. Catching it bare-handed as his bloody finally began to get pumping.
A grin spread across his lips. He was finally matching these bastards' raw strength outright. Slamming his heel down into the dirt, pupil's dilating, Satori's hand caused a crack to appear in the solid iron club. The giant's eyes widened slowly in confusion and fear before his hand crushed the club. Sending the giant stumbling toward him right as the blade of his wing slit its throat open.
Spinning and slamming his elbow into the leg of another, snapping it instantly before slamming a second strike into her throat to end the cry of pain that filled the air. June's spells were drowning them, trapping them within the orbs of water alongside Satori who wasn't flying or running. Instead, he was in the thick of the melee, fists smashing into lower bodies and legs. Wings impaling others through the stomachs.
His blows sent two of the injured giants tumbling head over heels across the rock and sand, slamming into the opposite side of the canyon. Satori pointed at Hania firmly, then the two injured giants. Clearly determined to ensure that the teen continued practicing even if he wanted to do so holding his personality back a bit.
Turning, his wings flared out as he flashed upward. Grasping the final commander by the face, and driving him head-first into the stone. Splattering it similarly to a child would a watermelon during the spring festivals with a bat. Straightening, flicking the blood from his hand he spun the spear in his other.
Drawing his hand back--and hurling the spear full-force. Sending it sailing through the air. Impaling one, two, and then flying through the head of a third as the bodies crumpled like sacks of meat and potatoes. The large man flickering, re-appearing to catch the bloody spear after it's work was done. Releasing a low grunt as he spun it once in his hand, straightening slightly as he glanced between June and Hania.
Momentum gives +12 speed and +Intermediate Strength.
Wings then deal Grand damage to all of them via ammo rules by speed-blitzing the entire squad of them with his speed and flight mobility. Halved due to their resistance to Senior damage.
He then uses his physical damage to deal Archmage x3 damage in order to then finish off all but 2 normal giants that he leaves with 3/16 health for Hania to fight and finish.

He knew it somewhat bothered the other that he was still so formal with her even in a place like this but it was who he was. He knew he was changing but it was a slow burn, where some things would change faster than others, etiquette was one of the slowest to change it would seem. He was glad to see that she still seemed pleased to see him even with his formalities. "I can have Winter speak to her if you want. My nanny may be able to help her understand that you will always need her but she needs to release her suffocating grasp." his voice was soft as he spoke those words, his nanny was a wonderful person and he use to be just as bad but realised that he'd end up resenting or just pulling away completely if she didn't give him the room required to breathe.
"Failing that she'll spank her like a spoiled child." he chuckled, he knew his nanny would never lay another hand on the woman but still, he believed that coming from an elder female that had to deal with the same issues may help the lady in waiting understand that her lady will always have need and love for her. "Besides, I'm sure she'll be happy when the next generation is born and she can help you care for them." he said warmly "Also, perhaps sitting her down and helping her understand she is more like a sister than a mere lady in waiting may also help if you haven't done so already. Winter helped Lydia raise me, she knows how to tend to my medical issues and is helping Satori and Hanako learn for when she returns home. I'm pretty sure Hanako is ready to ask her to move in." he almost groaned concerned about that thought.
He noticed the small smirk of the smaller woman and smiled himself "I wouldn't know, this is the first time I have seen him fight in such a manner." he said honestly, whenever he had trained with Satori he had either been holding back or it was against the wraiths. "I see." he said looking back to Satori as he fought against the giant leader, his eyes flicked towards June as she spoke about members of her house being naturally irresistible "I would beg to differ on that; however, you are unique even the heavens pale in comparison to your beauty." he said softly his eyes moving back to the fight that was going on, he knew that she was half-joking on her words, but he was perfectly serious with his, it was yet another set of flowery words aimed at the silvery-blue haired woman.
Hania had given the pair their privacy as they kissed but it seemed as if June was far from pleased that it was happening bringing up that he was there. How Satori may be shameless, but he was not, and beyond that she was a lady, almost forgetting it would seem that she forgot not more than a few minutes ago that he was told not to call her Lady Silva. He took note that he wasn't the only person that Satori could put off tilt, this was just a bit more forward than how it was done to himself. He also noticed that her curiosity of the new magic that Satori had, had taken over the fact that he was uncomfortable. He didn't mind and could completely understand curiosity. He watched as June tried out the magic out but managing to stop herself just before she ran into something.
Hearing Satori's words about shame being a useless emotion he couldn't help but look down and to the left. He may have been right at least where he came from and how he was raised but he wasn't raised in that manner. It wasn't that he felt shame about what was going on around him, he just wasn't used to such shows of affection around him and believed that people should be given privacy when such things happened. He knew that he was saying it to June but she sort of had the same kind of upbringing even if she was distant from it at this point. Satori explained where his magic came from, it wasn't something he fully understood but it seemed to be something that was possible, it was intriguing but it kind of made him wonder why people didn't keep changing magics within the Ryuutei given their customs.
Hania nodded to confirm the modelling thing then closed his eyes sighing almost in defeat as Satori said he'd get a few copies "Can you not and we say you did?" he asked gently, he hated the fact he was starting to get used to being requested quite often by Zel to model for him. It felt like he was doomed to walk down this path and now regretted making an open-ended bet with his sister. He did take note at the other's lips twitching a bit as the taller male looked at him. "I would rather not wear dresses if I can help it." his voice somewhere between frustrated and defeated. There was more to that story and it clearly showed but he honestly didn't want to go into it. He realised that Satori wanted to tease him but on this occasion, it hadn't done so.
I was clear that he had fallen behind his mask again, as for why he just wasn't ready to reveal that side of him to another noble, especially with the last name Silva. It wasn't that he held any ill will against the woman, but there was quite a bit of mistrust between their houses because of something that no longer mattered. Then again he really didn't believe it should have mattered in the first place, the heart wanted what it wanted and it wasn't like the slight happened on purpose. The relative's fiance wasn't seduced and even if they were that was on them for not holding their lover's interest, of course, this might be because he was enticed in a different method than most. It wasn't about the appearance of a person for him but their personalities and strengths, it actually was a running joke he was sure within the family that he believed no one good enough for him.
This wasn't the case, he just knew what he liked and it wasn't airhead bimbo's that you blew into their ear to recharge and be set on giggling fit for half an hour.
Floor 2, Room 1 (c):
He paused for a moment as he listened to June confirming that she didn't sense anything good coming from the tunnels either and so agreed with her love that it should be dealt with later. Majority had ruled and even if they hadn't it wasn't as if he had the power or authority to argue with them on the matter. He didn't have ki as the other two seemed to have and his sensory was nowhere near as strong as their abilities but he tried his best to feel out nonetheless. He tracked down the path as far as he could, he didn't exactly sense anything but perhaps that was the issue, the lack of anything. There was residue almost but his sensory may have been wrong with everything going on, he concurred though it made sense to take out the immediate threat and then come back to deal with whatever was lurking in the darkness.
Floor 3, Room 1 (c):
Hania was getting over his mini trigger, he had missed most of the initial attacks from Satori and June due to it and having to deal with Amostia telling him that he would need to lift his mask. He knew eventually would have to but then was not the time and argued the fact back. He was hating the fact that he was getting triggers in such a dangerous place so between that and the want to hold back he had remained on the ledge. He knew it likely wouldn't sit well with Satori given he had seen him fighting in the first room before June had turned up. Which was promptly proven when Satori yelled up to him to get his ass down there and get some combat practice.
"Y-yeah, sure..." he said bringing down his hand from his head and jamp down from the ledge, he moved down at a steady speed looking over the chaos that was happening below him. He looked to where Satori had been pointing watching as high-pressure streams of water tore through the hide of some of the giant's, he had to admit it was impressive in a mortifying kind of way. Still, the edge of his lips twitched briefly into a smile as the silvery-blue haired woman seemed to be laughing and having fun. He was glad that she was, that she felt comfortable to show that side of herself. He moved towards the two injured giants that he was directed towards, he saw a Warhammer heading his way and dodged it with ease before landing on the flat of the Warhammer waving. He said something in the ancient giant language as he almost seemed to springboard from.
As he did he flew up only to dive-bomb down his feet connecting with the skull a sickening crunch easily heard as he easily broke the neck of the giant forcing it to fall backwards, just as this happened, he caught something in the corner of his eye ducking at the last moment as a giant sword swooped over his head. It cut a few strands of his snow-white hair making his eyes narrow. At the moment he dashed forward his shoulder connecting with the gut of the final giant making it double over before dashing forward once more the wings taring through the skin. He walked forward pushing it backwards, saying something in another language seemingly less than happy as he walked over to the other two.
"My apologies small trigger." He didn't want to worry anyone but he knew he needed to let Satori know if such things happened especially since if he blacked out he needed to rely on Satori to help and protect him. "It's nothing to worry about, just a slight dizzy spell." he said as if it really was that simple.

Hania’s offer to have his own nanny speak with Autumn resulted in a brief nod before the group took the narrow staircase. The reference to Winter spanking her lady in waiting caused June to snort and shake her head a bit.
“I’ll have to consider your offer.” The reply was short but there was an appreciative tone to it.
Further comment on that topic was lost thanks to the distraction of Satori kissing her.
Even with Satori’s light chastisement, June shook her head. “Even so, I doubt Hania wishes to watch us kiss.” Her face reddened. “He has already had his poor ears assaulted by our affections.”
She recalled the teasing comment the white haired man made during their modelling job. There was little doubt Hania would find an opportunity to use this incident to fluster her as well.
Despite being a little flustered, the short woman smiled softly when her love explained the origin of his new magic. “I see he is still with you,” she commented.
Fortunately the topic changed to the photos she and the Ravencrest had posed for. June smiled wickedly.
“While Hania didn’t wear a dress he did appear quite ravishing. You’d enjoy the image quite a bit, Tori. Not only does he say the loveliest things about me, he is quite pretty no matter what he wears. You simply must see for yourself. Or not. Hania’s looks rival mine.”
June feigned a look of concern.
“You may even decide Hania is more beautiful than myself.” Despite the worried look on her face, there was an amused glint in her eye. The Silva had no intention of letting Hania’s pretty words go unanswered.
Every pretty word he uttered would be returned in kind. Whether it be a dance of flowers or barbs, June had no intention of falling behind. --
June would have slaughtered more of the giants using the power Satori granted her but her intended one managed to finish off all but two of the remaining giants. The two survivors were tossed over towards the Ravencrest along with a command that he help out.
The noblewoman resisted the urge to pout. The bloodlust she had stopped repressing called her to pounce on weakened prey and snuff out their lives. No matter, there would be more enemies further into the dungeon. As much as he enjoyed battle, Satori wouldn’t deprive June and Hania of the chance to wet their blades.
Gliding towards where her husband-to-be stood, June landed with a soft thump. She watched Hania swoop down to finish off the remaining giants with efficiency though the white haired man didn’t seem to be having nearly as much fun as her or Satori.
One of her silvery-blue brows rose at Hania’s explanation for his behavior, but she didn’t say anything. In the middle of the dungeon was not the time nor the place to discuss what was likely a personal matter.
The short knight looked up at Satori to see what direction he would decide on next.

"You're fine, Hania," Satori clarified with a slight smile at the young man's words. A trigger was bound to happen occasionally with the amount he had, as long as he'd snapped out of it, things were fine. Junes words caused a low rumble of amusement to fill his chest as she teased the man about his beauty.
Shifting his gaze toward the entrance of the mountain, the large man opened his hands as the electrical energy began to pulse along his fingertips.
He was curious though. How far could he go, with just what he'd managed he had a basic idea of the general strength of these creatures' endurance and ability to shrug off damage. In that case... he only had to clear them all out as quickly as possible. Electricity crackled around his fingertips. Mana pulsing, the large man suddenly clasped both hands together before his mana exploded out. Snapping around his fingers before sending him flashing forward toward the next room.
<F4 R1>
Within the room, Satori was faced with over a dozen dwarves and a single towering slavemaster. Suddenly, Satori's eyes ignited with brilliant blue electricity as his hand lifted into the air. The electricity gathered, crackling between his fingers before suddenly dozens of bolts of electricity formed around him.
"One moment you two. Let's see how far we can push," he stated with a grin of curiosity before the mana gathering between his fingers suddenly multiplied. Blasting forward in what could only be called an explosion of magic and electricity that washed the entire room in devastating lightning. The spells on an individual level were powerful, but not so much that they were a shock. No, the true power came from the sheer amount of the spells he had created. Blanketing every single dwarf and the giant slavemaster within one motion of his hand.
Bolts of lightning flew, storms raged across the room as lightning struck downward. Chains of lightning rose from the earth to bind the dwarves by the throats and slam their faces into the earth while compressed balls of lightning blanketed the rooms in death and destruction.
When the electricity cleared, only the Giant still remained standing. Electricity sparking off his skin as he stumbled a bit slightly in utter confusion before Satori flashed past it. His left wing cloaked in blood as its head fell, thudding to the ground. He... truly despised those that used others as slaves. Sucking his teeth in annoyance, the large man shifted his gaze toward the entrance across the now devastated dining hall.
<F4 R2>
"Onward, I suppose," Satori mused simply, feeling the ki of the various slaves in the tunnel his eyes narrowed slightly. "At your top speed, so we can get out of this unhindered," he stated simply toward his love and Hania. Before suddenly blitzing forward at his top speed, bolts of arrows stormed through the slits, bouncing off his mana skin harmlessly as his magics healing regenerated the damage. Bursting through the tunnel and landing with a thud in the next room.
<F4 R3>
More slaves. Giant masters, and one massive Giant that was clearly their leader rising up as bone armor began to form around his body. Satori didn't hesitate. Moving at speeds beyond anything these giants could keep up with, his hands slammed together as the hounds suddenly burst into creation. The "Fang" golems of bursting electricity dashed straight toward three of the Giant's without hesitation, wings bursting around their bodies as the bladed feathers slammed into the Giants flesh, before Satori's hands lifted while the dwarves and giants churned in confusion.
The wolves now flew at incredible speeds and struck with devastating power. Satori gave orders easily. "Focus on the Giants. Focus on the injured first, the dwarves are a non-issue!" With this, the man beat his own spectral wings. Suddenly flashing across the room faster than any of the giants, even the leader, could follow. The giants eyes widened, about to speak a word, only for the massive fist of Satori to smash into his face. The mana skin shattering. Then another snapped his jaw. Another his shoulder, and Satori repeatedly this.
Slavers gained no mercy from Ryuutei.
The man beat the Giant king's skull repeatedly into the back of his own throne. Driving his foot into it over, and over. The raw difference in speed, and the overwhelming difference in raw mystical and physical power too much for the Giant to keep up with. To defend against properly. Lifting his blood-soaked foot from the King's crushed face, his gaze flicked back toward the remaining giants that his wolves hung from. Snarling and crackling with electricities as they cried out in pain.
June and Hania likely couldn't end them all. But they'd certainly deal with quite a bit of them, and he'd finish them from there.

Atop this, the storm begins to rain bolts of lightning from the sky [Ammo] that deal [Intermediate] damage to anything they hit within range of the clouds.
This deals a total of Seniorx6 damage on their own to all dwarves along with all the debuffs, blindness, etc. The giant suffers the same debuffs and takes 2x senior damage to the mana skin. Then the remaining 4x senior damage is halved to 2x, reducing the giant to Grand Health and killing it with a single strike of his wings.
Room 2 Due to all of them having 100m/s speed or higher, they blitz through room 2 without issue in the same post while suffering senior damage, which instantly regenerates.
Room 3 7 Giant Commanders. Archmage+Grand health/mana skin. Due to their death all 24 dwarven slaves scatter. Rogard. Archmagex3 health/mana skin.
Satori deals 3x Archmage damage using his physical damage, killing Rogard and leaving the 7 Giant Commanders. Luckily due to everyone's speed they far outpace any attacks or spells that the Giants or dwarves can use.
He then summons his golems which are buffed using his wings, allowing them to each deal Grand+Senior damage to three of the giants.
This leaves 7 Giant Commanders left to kill. 4 with full health but no mana skin from Satori's wings, and 3 with Grand+Senior+Intermediate health left as the wings instantly destroy their mana skin, and then their base damage as golems is halved from senior to Intermediate.
Apex triggered ages ago, giving him +15 power as well.
64 to cast int spells 96 to cast senior spells 80 to maintain grand spells +70 via regen
Maintaining all of his offensive spells cast for next post if required.

Hania knew that the elder male was being polite saying that it was fine, he had so many triggers so it honestly was understandable but still he still felt like a failure. He had been dealing with this his entire life and it was still plaguing him, he had to wonder when the hell he was going to get a break from this stuff. He could normally break out of the minor things quite quickly but there where times that it would take it longer, this was seriously one of the places that he didn't need even minor triggers let alone major ones. He had his incense if he needed it to help calm his mind but this was a warzone, it wasn't like he was going to be able to ask the enemies to hold on a moment so he could centre himself. The real world didn't work like that.
"Thank you for understanding Satori." he really was grateful but at the same time he still wished he didn't have to deal with his, he was tired of the constant things he had to deal with. He was caught off by June's words not only about how he could see them in the evening or how he may not wish to see them kiss but how he appeared within their job together had made him glance over the reply of his offer. He wasn't ashamed of his appearance at all, it however did get somewhat frustrating when all people would take note of him for was being a 'pretty' face. In honesty, he was just thinking about splashing acid on his face to have that issue solved but what would that accomplish other than making him seem like a fool. He looked the way he did through genetics and how he lived and knew he should be thankful for it but it aggravated him.
"I assure you, I am still wallowing in the dirt when it comes to measuring our beauties Lady Silva." he said without even missing a beat "I was unaware that the messengers of the gods were sent to earth to bless those such as myself with such unearthly beauty and the wish to meet their end that much quicker." his voice was gentle and a smile never left his lips the entire time he spoke to her. It was almost like a game to the pair, a delicate dance on where they would try to outmanoeuvre the other while landing a blow. He knew she was indeed rusty from her time away from the noble realm but it seemed like she was still polished enough to keep up someone like him who specialized in dealing with this on a day to day basis.
His eyes went back to Satori, he could feel the static electricity in the air, from what he could tell he was pondering something and it would seem that he wasn't far off the mark. It would seem they were going to find just how far they could go before they needed to stop to take a breath. This was going to be interesting for the white-haired heir as he had never been through something a dungeon this strong before, even with all the enhancements he had been given thanks to Satori's magic he was still quite nervous. It wouldn't mean that he would pull away from the challenge but given that it wasn't just them he also knew he had to keep certain things under control which made this a bit more tricky for him. He knew just what he had seen from June she wouldn't mind most likely but there was still that barrier, with that, he moved forward after Satori into the next area.
Floor 4, Room 1:
Hania ran after Satori down what seemed to be the primary tunnel as they had decided that they wouldn't deal with the side tunnel earlier, at the end, he came to a full stop so he could take everything in. His ice coloured eyes went to Satori as he spoke and this time verbally he confirmed his earlier suspicions they were going to bull rush this place. He was still concerned about that as he wasn't in full health yet from the coma that happened not so long ago, still, he nodded "I'll follow your lead." he said calmly, he couldn't help but feel as if he was the ever-willing people pleaser, his mind was telling him that this was a foolish idea for him to do but here he was agreeing to go against his better judgement.
From where he stood he looked up to the roof as something gleaming caught his eye, at first he thought he was just imagining things. That was short-lived as when they stepped in they were hit with what had seemed to be a well thought out trap, it dealt enough damage to almost completely wipe out his mana skin but it would seem as if his training had slowly been strengthening that... luckily. After being hit by the first he was faster on his feet dodging the other two because he was pretty sure if they hit he would be more than just a little winded. As he did take to the air within the room he saw the gems clearer, at least he knew he wasn't insane so that was always a plus. He did have to wonder if he could use them to their benefit but then that could lead to June and Satori both being hit.
From his position, he watched how Satori had sent chains of lightning towards the dwarves binding them in place. There were so many of them so he was quite sure that even if they were strong or in his case enhanced the sheer numbers could overwhelm the group and that was something they could do without. His eyes went to the giant that was in the room, it was clear that the giant was the one that held power here and if he could be dealt with then they most likely wouldn't have to deal with the Dwarves. He had been told this had been a Dwarven hold so it made the ice mage curious about what had happened to turn the tide of battle against the owners of the place.
From everything he knew about Dwarves they were master crafters, their defensive structures where unmatched and they were fierce warriors, so to see them like this not only broke his heart but had him question quite a few things but he doubted he'd get any answers. He just remained where he was watching quietly, he knew slavery was a sore point for the Ryuutei, they didn't tolerate it in any way, shape or form. There had been the 'incident' with Satori and himself where the taller male almost stepped over that line even if his intentions were for the ice mages own good. It hadn't taken long for the enemy to be taken down, even from where he was he could tell that Satori was in anything but a good mood at current given what they had been greeted with within this room. "There's going to be more like this..." he whispered more to himself than anyone else before following to the next room.
Floor 4, Room 2:
With that done they continued moving down the tunnel, his hearing wasn't as keen as others and his sensory not as strong as their ki most likely but he could feel mana signatures all the way down this tunnel. It was odd because it was like at very precise distances on either side, it wasn't until the first arrow flew past almost having him getting hit yet again that he realised what was going on "This hall is filled with balistraria" he called to the others, this was one of those times he was glad that he had the speed enhancement of Satori's spells as he was able to dodge everything with ease. Even if he was quick he was still unwell and so one of the arrows did get him in his side.
"Son of a bitch..." he couldn't help but cuss as he winced as he kept moving forward, as he did he moved to pull the arrow out at the same time making him suck in air through his teeth as this hurt more than a little. He had still been through worse throughout his life, it did help that no sooner than the arrow was out of his side that it had healed. It still got blood on his white top that he wasn't all too happy about because he was going to have to explain this all to Winter, which was something that he wasn't looking forward to given she told him to be careful. There was only so much care one could have going into the unknown but so longs he came back in one piece he guessed he had little to worry about, right? It mattered little as they got to the next room.
Floor 4, Room 3:
At the end of that tunnel, they found themselves bursting into what could only be described as a cathedral, the emerald green and golden light was mesmerising but that was cut short seeing a bunch of Dwarves with crossbows aimed at the trio. "Seems we are interrupting something important." he commented, the Dwarven slaves made no attempt to fire at that exact time although his eyes then moved towards the giants clad in finery. "I really am hating these people so much more." he sighed stroking Amostia's neck with his index finger, his family were arrogant and prideful at times but it didn't mean they put themselves on a podium... well most of them... they believed it was their duty to protect those who couldn't protect themselves and he would do his best to help those who had been enslaved gain their freedom from the tyrants that towered over them.
Even before he had said anything Satori had already moved to engage, he knew he and his clan hated slavery and would kill slavers without a second thought, two rooms ago proved this even if he hadn't spent time within the clan learning about them. It was no surprise that Satori went after the largest, he would be the strongest out of the group and pose the biggest threat to the three mages. Casting additional spells while using his wings he had made short work of the leader and had damaged all of the commanders at the same time from what he could tell, but then even if he hadn't damaged them he sure as hell stripped them of their mana skin.
Hania had moved quickly easily dodging the barrage of crossbow arrows that had aimed towards himself and June, it was times like this he wished he has restraining or could turn them into icicles but he had neither ability sadly. He believed that if the masters were taken out then the servants would run to freedom and so didn't even bother with the Dwarves, they were not the main threat here. In his mind, they were victims that needed saving and that is what he intended to do. Hania headed towards one of the ones that look injured he would have to make every attack hit but if they did he was sure he would be able to at least take one down and injure some of the others slightly.
Moving to the left suddenly it almost looked as if he was aiming to bang straight into the wall the commander, who he was aiming at came running froward that was all fine and well for him because he was slow as all hell. Even when he swung to hit the white-haired teen all he done was corkscrewed the hit connected but it did only minor damage to the youth's mana skin which was instantly healed while dealing grand damage to the enemies hand and arm as it was torn part splattering the walls, floor and ceiling due to it. Getting closer to the wall he almost flipped mid-air and used the wall to springboard off of. As the enemy was facing the other way he got a free hit to the enemies spine twice with his fists.
With this done he flew back a bit before moving back as fast as he did before each foot hitting at the back of the legs of the giant, between these four hits and the attacks with the wings he knew this thing needed just a little more before it would topple but he was already feeling tired but he would push through it as he always did. Flying up he put his two hands in front of him creating an ice-blue and white set of runes in front of him appear. From the runes, it would sell a large shard of ice that would begin to appear that quickly broke into five smaller shards, all seemed completely transparent but held a black tint to them. With these created he swiped his hand to the right as he did what could be mistaken as a sheet of glass that seemed to appear in front of him, it was actually a large sheet of ice with a black tint to the edges.
When it was formed Hania clicked his fingers and it too broke into five shards, with the now ten projectiles he pushed his hands towards the enemy, one shard from each spell hitting the giant he had worn down making him slump onto the ground blood coming from his arm, spine, neck and mouth as a gargled noise could be heard. The other shards, one share from each spell hit the other two weakened enemies and two of the enemy that hadn't had anything but their mana skin removed from them. His eyes watched as several of the Dwarves had made a break for it in the confusion but there were still more that needed to be freed from the tyranny of the giants.

Name of Spell: Shattered Reflections[break] Elemental Type: Ice[break] Rank & Spell Type: Junior ¦ Attack Creation[break] Range & Speed: 25 meters ¦ 10 m/s[break] Mana Cost: 10 ¦ 5[break] Stats Effected: +2 power (self)[break] Applicable Perks: Apex predator, Elemental oddity[break] Description: Hania swiped his left hand towards the right in doing so he creates what appears to be a sheet of glass about an inch thick and stands around six foot tall and two foot wide on first glance but this isn't the case, it is actually made entirely out of ice. The way he has condensed his mana allows the normal non reflective ice to come across almost like a poor man's mirror. It would give any major detail but a person would be able to see themselves within it. The edges off the ice are blackened almost as if it was a frame for it. Once completely formed all that is required is for him to click his fingers shattering the would be mirror into several shards, the amount of shards would fall under the ammo rules. These shards would float around him thanks to the way he can control and manipulate his mana, thrusting his hand forward allows him to send the shards towards an enemy in the hopes to hit them. This spell will give Hania a +2 to his power while the spell is active.

Floor 4, Room 1 June followed Hania and Satori through the narrow passage leading to the next room in the dungeon. She waited just outside the doorway with Hania while her fiancé flashed forward and unleashed magic so bright and intense that she used the bladed wings he had granted her earlier to shield her face. Once the thunderous noise stopped and the familiar sound of a head hitting the floor and rolling away signaled that the fighting had stopped, she allowed the wings to fold against her back. The dwarves lay strewn about in shock, but none of them attacked the party. A few begin to sit up while others stayed on the ground groaning. Others yet appeared to be unconscious; some looked as though they'd hit their heads a bit too hard.
The giant was far worse for wear, the body slumped over several feet away from its head. There wasn't much time to think about it though, because Satori was already urging them to move on.
Floor 4, Room 2 The Silva flapped her wings once in a motion that caused her to fly across the room at top speed, arrows bouncing off of her mana skin and wings. She barely felt the sting of the arrows and the damage to her mana skin began to fade quickly thanks to the swath of spells Satori had cast on her earlier. June looked down and noticed a single arrow lodged into one of the wings and pulled it out before tossing it aside.
Floor 4, Room 3 Lightning wolves ran amok while Satori brutally ended the giants' leader. The gore and violence didn't disturb the noblewoman, who snapped into action at the sound of her lover's shout.
With ease, she evaded the dwarves as the scrambled to get away from Satori, uncaring who they trampled in the process. Then, the short woman settled in the middle of the room. Before any giants could react, a barrier made of water formed around June, rapidly expanding outwards. There were a few shouts before three giant commanders ran forward to smash their weapons against the defense creation spell. As soon as their weapons made contact, concentrated streams of water skewered their arms with some streams managing to dig into their torsos. June's spell collapsed, but that didn't matter.
Her wings flexed, shooting her out of the way of several strikes aimed at her head before circling around to fly past them again. One giant was beheaded by an ethereal wing before June plunged her sword into the eye of another giant. She planted her boots against the commander's skull and pulled with all her strength to free it before taking flight once more, narrowly evading the swing of a giant, stone club.
Taking advantage of the chaos, June summoned two golems of her own. A water snake appeared behind the giant she had just stabbed, sinking its fangs into the giant's achilles tendon and bringing it to its knees. The giant commander let out a loud, rumbling bellow as he clutched his head before finally succumbing to blood loss. The other snake formed in June's hands. She swooped past the giant charging towards her, deftly evading the swing of his sword and dropping her golem on the back of the giant's neck. The water snake bit down, causing the giant to reach up and grab it, crushing the water snake in his grip.

Satori flexed his hands as he watched the pair tear through the giants at his request before his own mana gathered between his fingertips. There were three giants left, and a few that were nursing wounds. That wasn't an issue even as the Giants swung, as the dwarves scattered with each Giant that fell, their master's deaths freeing them. The few that remained as slaves fired bolts, powerful crossbows, but they were far too slow to truly manage it.
Instead, as he flickered from one spot to the next Satori lifted his hands up as another explosion of lightning scorched the giants. Explosions of thunder balls, storms, and bolts of lightning combined with his wings and own brutal physical combat ended the remaining Giant's lives without issue. The dwarves scattered to the other tunnels. Leaving only the corpses, Satori meandered forward and glanced around them. The chests were full of various jewels and weapons, not that it mattered.
But, one item did shine brighter than most. The crown adorning the head of the giant's leader. A hum filled his chest as he stepped forward, moving toward the giant's head and ripping it off as casually as one would pick up a ball. Lifting it and noting the way it was bound to the man's head, before ripping it free as well. The crown pulsed in his hands, and as he stepped forward it spread. Shimmering into mana that appeared in June and Hania's hands as well.
"Hm." Satori mused, before continuing forward. "Shall we?" he inquired simply with dry amusement. Leading the way toward the back of the chamber where the air crackled, it seemed they had completed the first section. The next would have to be done at a later time. For now, they'd acquired an intriguing relic.

Hania was about to go and attack another but he heard Amostia telling him to wait a minute at the back of his mind, this drove him up the wall to no end as he still wasn't use to having another person in his head. To him it was messy and chaotic, he really didn't like it but he did what was requested of him and watched as Satori went on another onslaught making quick work in regards to the enemies that were left. As each giant fell more of their dwarven slaves seemed to be freed and made a break for freedom, he couldn't blame them, if this place really was that old then they would have been in indentured servitude for hundreds of years. The thing was he didn't feel sorry for them, there was this feeling he was having almost a smugness that he had never felt before.
His hand went to his head as he shook it, this had been a terrible idea on his part he believed. He had no idea what the hell that feeling was but he sure as hell didn't want to keep feeling it, perhaps it was something he would be able to talk to Satori about at another point. Today wouldn't be that day however. His eyes looked up as he saw Satori move over to the leader of the giant's and tilted his head as he saw the crown, he rolled his eyes how someone like that could honestly feel like they were worthy to wear a crown when they were obviously a tyrant that would build a nation of the suffering of others. Again he had to control that dark smugness he felt within the pit of his stomach. He wanted out of there and quickly.
Hania blinked looking down as he saw a crown appearing in his hand, he was confused as he looked up and saw that Satori and June had one too, they seemingly walked off with theirs. Hania only the other hand dropped his and walked forward behind the pair, he wanted nothing to do with a crown that had brought pain and suffering to others. 'Are you sure you want to do that?''Why would I want to keep it? It's not mine.' he replied to the voice he had grown accustomed to. 'You are a prince after all.''No, I'm not and even if I was I wouldn't want a kingdom built on the back of slaves or the suffering of others.' It was a strange backwards and forwards, more so as Amostia just flew overhead silently, he must have heard this conversation so he wondered why he said nothing. He knew there was more to do but he was just glad to be out of there right now.
