Victe Victe had been training since before dawn, mostly against her homemade training dummy behind the house. Little more than a hay-padded scarecrow, it served its purpose in allowing her to whack at it with her wooden sword without breaking. As the sun begins to dawn, her training ends and she heads to Marco's without a word to her step-parents. Their relationship is strained, they disapproved of her religion and her focus on martial training rather than learning a useful trade. She had always fought, both for fun and with ill intent, and her relationship to "ilmater's blessings", as she called her bruises, only made her more focused on her single-minded purpose.

Victe She takes the insult as just another welcomed bruise, and utters a silent "thank you", to Ilmater or Sariya, hard to tell which. "Excuse me but how far does the seal reach? Two days travel seems it would cover a long distance." Trier fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Apr 27, 2014 |

Victe Taken aback by the Schmidt boy's brashness, Victe lets out a little "ooh!" as she's lifted into the air and gets carried across the river, barely getting wet at all. As Sully puts her down on the other side, she gives him a light punch on the shoulder and tells him "Ilmater would be proud." before checking on whether the eggs in her pack made it across safely.

Victe The girl decides she needs to get inside that atrium, but between her and the door lies one of those moving weird vine clusters. She ponders for a while, trying to figure out how to get around it. Eventually she approaches it, kneels down with the tip of her blade against the stone floor, and recites a quiet prayer. As she begins to silently chant, a bright light begins to shine from inside the network of vines, and before long the light explodes into brilliant, beautiful, bright golden flames.

Victe Victe eyes an opportunity to make her God proud, as she drags sully back with her shield-arm and steps in his place to take the brunt of the blast. The pain causes her eyes to water up, tears that transforms into bloody droplets running down her cheek, as a brilliant golden light shines in her eyes. Her blade burns in a bright fiery glow, and as she lifts it high into the air, it splinters apart, revealing a divine sword of pure blood-red light. She can feel muscles ache as she twists it around her body in a spin, and swings it at the ghastly beast. With every slash of the sword, a bloody gash tears across her skin, matching the one she makes on the monster. As she become more and more bloodied and wounded, Sully's injuries begin healing, and a macabre trinity of pain delivered, pain received, and pain healed becomes all too realized.

Victe After a few moments of lying on her back, trying to catch her breath and taking time to feel the sting of every wound, in glorious acclaim of Ilmater's ever-presence, she climbs back on her feet and begin searching around the room. She quickly discovers a small silver necklace. Astounded, she grabs the necklace and holds it into the air to get a better look at it. "This... Guys!" she calls for the others. "Guys, look, I can prove I'm not crazy! Look!" she enthusiastically holds it out towards William. "This is Ilmater's symbol, like on my mother's locket! I told you I didn't make him up, this is a holy relic!" She quickly attaches it around her neck and run over to the crystal pane to draw a little symbol in the dust, and begin praying fervently.

If not, you should choose one." she brushes some dirt off her breastplate and turns to the others. "Is everyone fit to start taking this thing back, or do we need a rest? I'm all for hoofing it under the cover of darkness - though I'm sad to leave this place so soon. Who knows when we'll get an opportunity like this?" she says as she walks over to the crystal panes and runs a finger across the dust.
