You little fuck. You dare tell a king above kings what to do, much less stop him from executing an unsightly enemy? This is punishable only by a thousand deaths.

I am a merciful king, interlopers. I give you this last chance; Prostrate yourselves and then flee like the cowards you are and you might return to wherever you came from in more than eight pieces. If not, you shall know the wrath of the Father of Terror.

Enkidu didn't react to the Phantasmal Beast's outcry. Nor for the wingless dragon answering its challenge, nor the knight gathering prana for a formidable attack. His attention was focused on the man who had summoned the creatures. This man had answered him in the Unified Language without noticing, but the words he used were nothing but an affront to his close friend. The creation of the gods shook his head with an expression between disgust and pity.

"Humanity sure has become weak if it had to submit to leaders such as you. You are no King. This title belongs only to one man. You are but a pebble declaring shamelessly to be a mountain. The ant does not compare itself to the lion. You do not have possess the right to use that title. You do not have the shoulders to carry it. Your lack of respect towards Him is infinitely more deserving of death."

Enkidu spread his arms open.

"Come, King of Ants, I will teach you humility."

It didn't take Kyle that long to reach Forest's place with a cab.

"Right by the break of dawn," he said with humour. Now was the moment most hunters preyed on vampires back in his world. Although some were skilled enough to engage them at night, the majority preferred to have every advantage available. And a leech on the run was usually troublesome.

Looking at the facade of the building, he couldn't help but grin from the sheer nerve Forest had in choosing such a large and obvious target. She had even chosen an isolated location. From civilians, Forest didn't like when innocents got involved. From vampires too, could be considered as a way to distance herself from the other blood suckers but Kyle knew enough to understand that it was basically a middle finger to guys like Deacon Frost and other factions leaders. Place was far from being the best strategic position but it was sturdy as heck, enchanted by witches and fairies and was packed with a fuck load of weapons. Hence why Kyle liked it a lot even if he usually wouldn't stick around for long. Wynn would start to complain and Lucifer was too much of a cocky brat. And at worst, he could come face to face with that douche of a dhampire.

And he would rather not kill Forest's student in her very home. She would be pissed at him for killing one of her pupils. Perhaps she wouldn't ask too much question if he suddenly disappeared. After all, being a cop in the Nexus ain't without its share of risk, right?

Entertaining the thought of knocking him into the middle of next week, he smiled. Forest wouldn't be the one opening of course, but the distinct scent of different people told him that she had visitors. Violets and Junipers, it meant Lady Umbra was here. He didn't expect a warm welcome but he appreciated the faerie. His sense of smell told Kyle that among these people, at least one was somewhat close to his own kind. And sick, and not something benign.

"Well, seems like she keep getting interesting guests."

He rang the doorbell, wondering what kind of trouble the Law Unto Herself was stuck into this time.

They headed towards the combat and eventually reached the location of the confrontation. Enkidu eyed the man with the strange presence in yet another one of those modern vehicles. While he appeared to look human on the surface, some kind of entity were overlapping with his existence. An oddity was not unusual in the Nexus and this man appeared far less threatening than the two opponents exchanging blows. Still, it wouldn't be clever to ignore him completely. Who knew what people from other realities do.

He focused on the combatants. Two skilled warriors from the looks of it and obviously souls far superior to that of common spiritual entities. Heroic spirits, while these two had styles he was not familiar with, Enkidu could recognize them for what they were. For now, they seemed immersed in their own world, because inattention was the worst enemy in a battle.

They had to be separated in order to even discuss with them. So, when the two of them charged once more, he rushed between them, his green hair twisted and changed shape to take one of a pair of whips. Each end surrounded one of the heroes' limbs and he smashed both of them on the ground. A human body would have been broken but for these guys, it would be nothing than something akin to a tape on the back of the head.

When he spoke, it was with authority.

"Enough."

He didn't know what of reaction to expect from these two but he knew the dragon would back him up if necessary.

"I do not wish to know the reason of your conflict but, you can not fight here. Go somewhere else."

1. Avoid being murdered by Ramesses II or Moedred.

I wouldn't worry about that.

Enkidu acknowledged the decision his companion had set its mind on, intending to follow and engage these people in dialogue but, by the time, the magi were already walking away, heading towards a more urban area. The pair simply watched them leaving the park. They didn't have a reason to go after these people and they had already decided to stay clear from the largely populated areas of Nexus.

"Come, friend. Let us find a place to clean ourselves and rest for what is left of the night."

Finding a cave in a natural reserve wasn't that difficult and they had been fortunate enough to find clear water to wash away sweat and blood near it.

Day 2

Enkidu woke up early and, letting his companion sleeping some more,  took a stroll by himself trying to figure out where they could find a convenient source of food for the next days. As one would expect, there were a convenient amount of preys that would suit a dragon's palate in the vicinity. When he came back, he found his new friend looking at him.

"Well rested? I don't know how hungry you are but, sustenance should not be an iss-..."

Enkidu interrupted himself, turned around, sensing abnormal levels of prana not too far away. It would be a problem if these people were to bring attention near their new home. Sounds of weapon clashing against each other reached him as clear as day and could probably perceived from very far. Fight on this scale would eventually attract attention which would ruin the point of their own isolation.

The shapeshifter looked at Lycodrake. "We have to do something about this before people start gathering around."

It's Fiore's group, yeah. Rin, Mille, Tokiomi, Amy, Lancer are there too.  I think that's pretty much it.

They headed in the direction pointed out by the girls they had met earlier. To his relief, they didn't stumble across more dead people. Probably the inhabitants of this part had no interest in a dragon and the boy covered in gore. It did take a bit of time to reach what looked like a park.

Enkidu jumped over the fence with ease and waited for his friend to do the same. He spotted the livings beings not too far away from his location almost immediately, and, to his surprise, he saw a man hurled through the air with the strength of a mighty hero of the ancient time. The one having who did it was a sort of familiar or elemental attached to the ground.

Enkidu detected prana from the group and scowled.

"Those people are magi. But not this one."

Though, the energy he detected from him was by far the most threatening of the bunch. His eyes shifted to the poor guy but he was already too far for Enkidu to help him. He didn't know what to do of people who would throw someone to their death without apparently showing much concern for the victim. The murdered people flashed in his mind for a brief instant and he wondered if those had any hand in this. After all, who would be most likely to sacrifice people in rituals other than witches? Needing confirmation about what to do, he consulted his friend.

"What do you think, Wingless One? Should we ignore what we just saw?"

----

"And here I thought you would show some ounce of your motherly side," he said with a shake of his head. He could tell that she didn't want to be the one taking care of her progeny. It was no surprise to him and he wasn't one to judge without the full picture. Still, he couldn't just depart without saying anything. "I won't tell you to take responsibility for what you did. However, shouldn't you learn her at least some of your skills before leaving her to figure out most of the crap on her own? Don't give me that look, you know how survival works. Bedding someone might become a necessity too. And if she inherits your special brand of crazy, nobody's going to teach her how to channel it better than you. Also, bonding between sire and fledgling is important, no matter what you might think of parental figures and shit. Besides, some company different than your usual may do you some good."

Kyle turned around, repressing a chuckle.

"Take it as a friendly advice, O'Rourke. As for little ol' me, I'll be at Fore's for the day. Ring me if you need someone to bang."

His laugh lasted a good while before he disappeared in a crowd of early risers.

Enkidu stood by the side of the wingless dragon in silence. He wished for guidance of the losts souls, hoping those could find some solace in the afterlife or reincarnation cycle they belonged to.

His relatively short arm reached for his companion's shoulder.

"We can't do much more for them." His voice didn't contain the raw emotions one would expect from someone who had just witnessed such picture of death. Even if Enkidu had been an emotional person, he would have been desensitized after watching so much death in his own time. In his era, when gods still openely interacted with humanity, death was a daily event. The reasons were many but all lead to the same departure. Beyond death, all one could hope was to remain in other's memory. As a hero, a king, a thief, a friend, a lover,  a rival or even an archenemy. It didn't matter because as long as you were remembered, a part of you still hadn't quit the world of the living. He didn't feel anger or sadness. Only a simple regret, to not know of their identity as individuals. Otherwise, he could have preserved these unknown victims as memory for as long as he would be alive.

"We should go, this place isn't for us."

----

Kyle had accepted to go to Ash's place without a word. After all, he didn't have any special plan for the night besides keeping an eye on Ellen until her sire, or Law Unto Herself would take over as babysitter. He kept his mouth shut until they were by the doorstep.

"So, what's your plan about her?" His thumb pointed in Ellen's general direction. He gave the vampire an amused glance. "Well, besides bringing her in leech's nests to feed on whores."

What happened to Daiki, did he quit or did something happen?

Exams. Still not done yet.

Took a moment to update.

The street was desert. No sign of life in spite of the seemingly movements that he could detect beyond the walls. It didn't appear that someone were prying on them at least. The eerie silence made him feel uneasy. And he wasn't the only to feel that way apparently.

Enkidu took a moment to examine what caused such a change in the dragon. Most of the street lamps were buzzing feebly with a fading light. Enough to allow sight but not nearly sufficient to show the victim's faces. People, a large amount of them, offered as sacrifices for who knows what purpose, were exposed to everyone's view running as far as down the cross road up ahead. Blood, among a mix of body substances, spread in all direction.

He approached one of the poor souls to have been claimed recently. It was a little being, barely reaching a decade of age. Most of the visage had disappeared after the stake, which maintained the body standing in a strange parody of puppetry, had pierced through the unfortunate's skull.

They hadn't been killed to feed upon. Enkidu could only speculate that they had been selected as sacrifices for a ritual of sort. If it was indeed true, for better or worse, they had fulfilled the goal imposed on them. They didn't deserve to become prey for those who would revel in act of barbary. A burial would take too long but, at the very least, a pyre would be something he could do without having to desecrate the dead any further.

With a silent apology, the man made of clay dislodged the offending weapon from the child, staining his clean outfit with fresh gore in the process. With a look of pity, Enkidu tossed the stake aside and allowed the dead to lie on the ground. No words were pronounced as he moved to the next one.

----

Kyle offered Ash a wave with a smirk.

"I'll only move if you make it a sexy moan."

With a short push on the fledgling's back, he spoke.

"You heard the lady, let's go." He eyed the owner of the place. "Given how people have been turned into an unappetizing puddle of smelly pulp, I suppose you won't mind."

He got a grab on a set of keys left on what was left of the counter and walked out. A quick search and he found the car matching the key, a flashy green and orange Austin Seven. He grimaced but didn't have it in him to go back in there and fumble in the bits of human flesh and ashes.

"Guess that will do," he said in an aside to Ellen. He sit behind the wheel and frowned when the leather seat emitted a weird complaint. An instant later, the engine was vibrating loudly. The werewolf gave the vampire an impatient look.

"What are you waiting for? Hop in."

Would you mind not turning this thread into a battlefield each chance you get? Nobody wants to read that. Take it somewhere else.

Also;

Shirou's current body has a very weak Magic Circuit, so he would return to how he was before without her help."

There's literally nothing that says they aren't doing what Rin did, and even less that says that he needs poon frequently.

It's written right there. Shirou has shitty circuit capacity so he needs to have frequent intercourse.

Respect is something to be earned, Mike, not something to expect.

1.) Treat Other Players With Respect. Golden Rule here.  Treat others how they want to be treated.  If you have a problem with another player, do not spout insults at them.  Bring your qualm to them in a polite manner.  If that does not work, please alert the GM.

Elf is very busy person. She has a day job and other responsibilities, so we try to not encumber her.

She's still the GM regardless. If someone has a question for her, you're not the ones supposed to answer. Especially if it leads to another argument.

Is there a reason why two of your characters have the same name, Knick?
