[Borderlands of the Flame Haze Base Secret Tool: "Valor", Flame Haze Territory, Khamsin Nbh'w] Silence was the golden part of living. Truly, one's own mind generates that which surpasses any known form of entertainment with ease. The young boy, appearing to be just the age of 10, had learned this long ago. Though he disliked pure solitude, to be at peace with oneself is true salvation. As such, Khamsin Nbh'w was someone who enjoyed being at peace with the silence that surrounded him. Valor was an old installation which was designed as the ultimate defensive arsenal of the Flame Haze. Through manipulation of existence, the presence would be masked to the extent that nothing, magic, or otherwise, would be able to detect such. As if the construct did not exist in the first place. Similar to the Tendoukyo's masking system, though unlike the Tendoukyo, the Valor was a stationary fortified bunker. As such, it made paroling the places of "borderlands" to be of ease;a base to the Flame Haze assigned to this mission. Khamsin was the wisest of all Flame Haze, constantly considered a "geezer" by many others in his class. Of course, this was because, despite his appearance, one could call him the "oldest" of the flame haze, seeing as he had lived for over 3,000 years. Once a Prince of a middle eastern nation now fought with what he once considered his greatest foe, only to reconcile they had interests within one another. Silence is golden. Silence is golden. Silence is- Well, silence was golden. It appeared that the "hive" below the flame haze has stated to act on it's own. Khamsin Nbh'w's job was to simply watch the border, and thus, he would do so to the greatest of his ability. Even if they had not decided to move, the tyranids were the enemy of humanity, as was Bal Masque the original enemy of the Flame Haze. The consumption of people was the greatest taboo for the Flame Haze, and as such, no other would be more at fault then that of the Tyranids. "Sir Khamsin, "they" have started to move. They are headed straight for our boarders." A fellow Flame Haze stated to his superior officer for the time being. Utilizing a tracking Unrestricted Spell, the flame haze had discovered that a large battalion was attempting to make pass at their borders. "...Ahh." ... ... ... Well, that was rather unresponsive, the subordinate Flame Haze thought to himself. "...We have orders to attack anything that tries to enter our territory. ...The Tyranids are no exception to this." "...ah. Destroy them. No hesitation. That is, if they enter our claimed territory.... Ah. Call the Tendoukyo and report this activity." The order was given. The many Flame Hazes stationed at this outpost would now act. Marching upon an enemy instillation was an idiotic move within itself, but the Flame Haze were of great prowess. Nothing would stand in their way of preserving balance. The orders were given. The Flame Haze were ready to fight against these alien invaders, even to the last of their breath. None of them feared these beings. After all, the Flame Haze had several stunts they could pull against the Tyranids in the event they were overpowering the Flame Haze. Not only that, but the Flame Haze were being backed up by Outlaw, a sub-branch of the Flame Haze. Combined, their numbers, though insufficient compared to the Nids, were enough to defeat any and all foes. It mattered not the enemy force; the Flame Haze would win against all odds. But that is only if they decided to continue their advance into Flame Haze territory. Once they had entered, well, all was fair in love and war~. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ["Deck" of the Tendoukyo, Tendoukyu, Flame Haze Territory] "Perhaps~" Margery Daw responded to the last thing Iskander stated. Of course, she was now somewhat drunk, but despite this, she refused to use the "purifying spell" on herself in order to remove these impurities. ""Maybe If we drink like this, I could show you ev-ery-thi-ng~" Of course, Shana finally realized that she could cast this on herself, removing the impurities from drinking. It was time to follow Yuuji and see if he was scadoodaling with other wenches. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ["Inside" of the Tendoukyo, Tendoukyu, Flame Haze Territory] "W-What are you saying, Miss Jeanne?" Yuuji stammered a bit. What was Shana to him? It was a question that not even he could figure out. Of course, the answer was simple, but Yuuji was never really good at expressing his feelings. The world around him had changed many times, but his ability to "woo" the laddies was rather unflattering. Well, it was in the perspective of himself. [s] the reality is that he made all the panties drop [/s] "I owe myself to Shana. While I was ready to give my existence up, she believed in me, and as such, I want to believe in her. I want to protect her smile, even if it means I would have to partake in hardships and war. None of that matters, as long as Shana is happy. Either way, this is our leader's chambers. I am not to enter myself, but you have been given clearing to enter. Please proceed, Miss Jeanne." Yuuji gestured the other to enter a door of sorts. His escort job was concluded.
