[Just as a note, since this game is an AU, from here on out, Luca Blight will be referred to as Rider. He's one of the Seven Servants summoned in the Holy Grail War.]



1.

[The time and location has been designated for a duel. ... Or rather, the situation was that Rider issued a time limit. If the time limit isn't met in time for it, then Luca threatened he would "grow bored". As misfortune would have it, that's exactly what happened.

Rider has chosen a countryside for the battle. Corpses of farmers lay scattered across the fields along with their families and livestock. It's safe to say that there are no survivors at this point. Rider is at the center of the village, sitting just on the stone corners of the well. He holds in his hand the decapitated head of the one, poor fool who tried to oppose him.]


... Hey. You made it on time.




2.

[A meeting with the Master!

Wherever Rider is, he's sitting leisurely on a chair. He has a glass in his hand filled with red wine. The bottle is just next to him. Whether or not you drink, he doesn't care all that much. But even he has his simple pleasures, although the drink of spirits compares little to the taste of war that he's accustomed to.]


So, then, I don't think we've ever talked too intimately before. You've begun to interest me.

I saw inside your eyes a deep darkness. You see those pigs for what they are. And you're aware of it all.

... So tell me. What's your wish? What desire could be worth denying six other people of their dreams by slaughtering them thoroughly?





3.

[The fighting has subsided for a while. The duel has finished and the results... have one way or another been undesirable. Rider left with his life... or perhaps, you've left with yours. The man is certainly difficult to kill and no matter how many hits that surely would have been fatal he took, he still stood.

The fighting ends, but... in the courts of whatever kingdom you serve, you see the same armored, imposing man walking across the same hallway you're in. Rider gives an evil smirk, certainly noticing you. But he says nothing. No. He wants to see simply... how you react.]

Denying six other their dreams and slaughtering them would almost be reason enough.

Oh yes, I have a use for the grail.

With the grail's power I shall cast down the emperor, and the false god he worships. I shall show this empire the true nature of the world, and they shall quake in their boots to know it.

In my world, there is precious little mercy.

[But his eyes narrow.]

What do you seek, Rider?

[Avshar sounds vaguely concerned. He may be the champion of a god of darkness, cold, and hunger, he may be more than a bit insane, but he still enjoys living, in his own way.]

What what be the purpose of destroying the world. What point is there in a world where nothing ever happens?

[He sighed impatiently.]

I take a drink.

[personal profile] princeofskotos 2012-02-14 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
I feel I understand your mind a bit more, yes.

You would do well, though, to remember which of us is the servant and which is the master. Do not take that tone with me again. You will curb your bloodlust and direct it as I will. If you do well, you shall have many chances to kill. If you do not.

[Avshar holds his hand up. Beneath his gauntlet, the command seal glows. Though he's not using a command spell, he is a sufficiently skilled magus to use the seal to channel agony through the connection between master and servant.]

I shall motivate you.

[personal profile] princeofskotos 2012-02-14 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay maybe that was a bit foolhardy. Avshar DOES invoke a command spell. His voice echoes with an unnatural authority that goes straight past the ears and the brain and right into the spine.]

Kneel, cur.

[personal profile] princeofskotos 2012-02-14 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't have you killing me. Remember your place and we won't have to repeat this idiotic spectacle. Neither of us will accomplish anything if we kill each other here.

[He knew it was fortune that Berserker came in time to distract this monster - if he only possessed his mother's gift for magic, then he may had a chance. However, he didn't expect Rider to still be standing after seeing how badly Berserker had torn through the Colosseum, or that he would walk the halls so boldly]

I see you managed to escape your well-deserved death yet again.

[Eleuseus whispers as he passes]

He wasn't using the Mad Enhancement.

[Eleuseus was lying, he really had no idea if Berserker did or not, but it's best to try to keep Rider off guard at all possible]

"...Are you certain? Looks more as though I've missed quite the party." He looks about.

"Oh. I believe you've left a patch of grass over there unscorched. Let me get that for you." He drops a wingful of some kind of powder onto the spot in question and then flicks the metal-shod talons of one foot across it. It promptly bursts into a rather colourful fire.

"There. Might as well make a clean job of it."

My wish?

[ For a moment Yuna looks... perplexed, as though he hasn't even thought of it. Then his expression turns thoughtful for a moment, before deciding to answer the monster that he's summoned. ]

It's so difficult to decide, I may just settle for immortality.
