The District of Columbia

[SINIB]

William

"Is that so?

Swoooosh-

He flung himself forward seemingly about to collide with the fireball when-

DARK BARRIER


A shield formed in front of him and took the barrage in his place as he pushed right through it. The moment he come out on the other side the darkness was covering him like a dense mist which looked more and more like a spectral armor by the moment.

And his cloaked fist rushed straight for the exposed area right beneath her breast.

Eruraviel

Eruraviel jumped back away from him as fast as she could, but the fist still connected with her chest, sending her flying backwards. She felt ribs crack from the impact, piercing her internal organs and hacked up blood.

But still, she didn't lose her focus. She maintained her concentration upon winning this battle and avoiding his next blow. Taking more than one of these would probably end up incapacitating the body she was currently using. She spat up the blood collecting in her mouth and flapped her wings, soaring into the air. "I guess it's time-to get a bit serious!" The elf made a slashing motion with her fingers, releasing a cutting wave of black necrotic energy, darker than the void of space.

Lily

"Ahhh.." Lily's limbs gave out once more and she collpased but she was persistent and less that breath later she was already struggling to get up again. "Daddy told me you should learn to be more fun like your sibling and something about district relations, but I don't care..."

She struggled as hard as he could but she couldn't go any higher than the foot allowed.

"Why would I play with a weakling who lacks a true warrior spirit. Abusing a weakness like this, you should be ashamed!"

Enterprise

Enterprise grabbed Lily by the scruff of her neck and dragged her outside. "I'll pay later, pops! Thanks for not asking any questions, as usual!"

Once outside, she let Lily down. "Can you swear on your father's name you aren't here to harm my goddess? You already know who I am, right?"

Dozens of fighter-bombers buzzed overhead, and Lily could feel a powerful presence watching her from afar.

"Oh you're challenging me? In that case...."

DARK DRILL

The black knight behun spinning in place at high speed, rotating fast enough to kick up a draft and then.... His spinning form went into the ground, and everything went quiet.

DARK SLASh

A roar followed by the fizzling sound of devouring darkness approached Eru from behind.

Eruraviel

Eruraviel's shadow coaleased and crept up her body, covering her exposed skin with a protected layer of darkness. She began to chant a spell, feeling the rush of magic coursing through her veins, distracting her from the pain and giving her a powerful rush of joy. As soon as she heard him approaching from behind, she released her spell-seven bolts of arcane force erupted from the glowing sphere in her palms, each of which unerringly headed directly towards his shadowy form.

Lily

Lily almost fell over as she was unceremoniously dropped onto the ground, but she managed to catch herself at the last second and stood up. However her legs were still visibly trembling.

"No."

she stood up as straight as she could in her current condition and locked her gaze onto the silver haired girl. "I could never swear an oath on the name of someone so shrouded in deceit. And it's not hard to figure out who you are if you can sense spiritual entities and put two and two together. Besides you're cuter than your sister..."

Enterprise

Enty blushed, but she didn't lower her guard. "Thanks." She mumbled. The only other person to regularly refer to her as cute, was, well...

She scratched at her cheek a bit, blushing at the thought of her. "W-well, I can't disagree with that assessment of her." She took a step back, then two steps forwards, offering Lily her hand. "Well, what did you search me out for? You don't seem like an assassin at least."

[Bern]

William

His shadowy firm however rushed straight into the arcane bolts and-

Booooom

Exploded in a shower of sparkly colors.

DARK ASCENT

The ground beneath her exploded as well, As powerful drill tore the earth asunder, It was the Dark Mage's return from beneath the surface, the one behind her merely a fake.

[Bern]

Lily

Lily shook her head at the offered help. The day she needed help from another woman to stand was the day she'd fall on her own sword. She refused to look weak ever again, and even if she was right now that didn't mean she would allow it to bother her.

"IMaybe I'll tell you if change to your cooler outfit, I'm quite weak to silver haired beauties in combat skirts...."

[SINIB]

Eruraviel

Eruraviel knew she was about to be squewered if she didn't take drastic, immediate action. A stronger spell would take too long to prepare, as would one outside her specialty. She didn't have time to dodge, so she didn't try. Her shadow began to rush down to defend her lower body, and she pointed down at the other magus and unleashed an onyx ray of death at the tip of his spinning drill, flapping her wings to retreat upwards at the same time.

[SINIB]

Enterprise

Enterprise pursed her lips, feeling a bit off-put by the girl's refusal of a simple handshake. She pulled her arm back to her side and raised her eyebrow. "If you give me a reason to, maybe. I like not being recognized by everyone sometimes."

She crossed her arms and frowned. "Can you at least answer my question?"

[Bern]

William

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooosh

The drill met the ray in bombastic clash, the ground itself trembled and crumbled as the backlash of the clashed cause a massive explosion. William himself merely disengaged and floated to the side, a streak of black miasma highlighting his trail.

"Enough."

He stopped moving and sheathed hi blade. "It's painfully obvious you've only received formal education in this. Someone experienced in front line combat wouldn't have made the mistake of just standing around when the opponent vanishes. I suppose this serves as a good enough lesson hmm..."

[Bern]

Lily

"Do get to know you better. I'm one of the grand generals and we no I'd like to have your cooperation with the frozen bitch.... as for the other thing...."

The redhead suddenly clasped her hands together and bowed deeply. Back in her homeland this was the custom when being polite after all, and she wouldn't get anything here by being forceful.

"I don't think you're gonna be recognized by the common men with me around, I attract quite the attention myself... So please I'd be really grateful Enterprise~" The way she spoke the silvery haired girl's name was as seductive as the most romantic proposal in a romance film, no even more so as it would hit the tone and enunciation Enterprise found the most pleasing.

Eruraviel

"What! That's totally not true! You just blindsided me in the beginning of the fight!" She exclaimed while pointing her finger at him. "And I haven't really left my tower for the last four hundred years, so I'm a little bit rusty. Plus, your magic is really weird. That's all."

She turned her head away from him. "Hmmph."

Enterprise

Ah, so she was here to discuss foreign policy with the district's goddess to see if she could get the cogs of government moving. She bowed in return to Lily with a faint smile on her face. This, now this was something she could wrap her mind around. Something which could prove a useful distraction from how much she wanted to just grab Lily and pin her down right now.

"Cooperation, huh." She cleared her throat. Her face was flushed pink by the Loli's advances upon her, and, even though she knew it was the other's magic at work, she didn't find it to be particularly unpleasant. She rubbed her thighs together beneath her coat, and Lily could feel her increasing arousal seeping into her, feeding into her own urges. "Well, talking about that shouldn't really be advertised. But..."

She looked around before leaning down to Lily's ear. "We can talk at my flat near the capitol. Pitch it to me in private."

[Bern]

William

"I'm sorry... I hadn't realized you were so starved for affection. Being locked up in a tower for that long sounds horrible." He drew near her and then ruffled her hair.

"Maybe you'd do better if you had the rust pounded out of you."
