*Grunts as I flip back down and disengage to create distance between us*

The result of training. Also, you pack quite a punch there, although my body will adjust in due time.

*Pauses to assume a defensive stance*

Can yours do the same, I wonder?

@ZAVAZggg

My body is the result of constant bombardment of multiple different forms of energy, alongside the Amaranthien itself, constantly forcing my body to respond.

*takes a loose defensive stance, and gestures you to continue*

I've been strong since the start, and I'll only grow stronger.

So when finally meet a foe you cannot overcome...

*Lunges again but stops a few inches away from you, going from a full on sprint to a chop aimed directly at your throat*

...will they be the one to break you?!

Sandra:.... I just hope for the best of both situations. Whatever the most positive outcome is.

Let’s get going.

@ZAVAZggg

King: absolutely not.

*jets back a foot or two, catching your hand, and I attempt to crush it with incredible power*

Thats when the fun begins.

*kicks you in the chest with enough power to collapse a building*

@souleaterfan320

*Eyes narrowing, I twist to the side to avoid the attack before kicking up towards the left side of your face, my hand slipping from your grasp as though the bones within it had simply ceased to exist*

Ah, well I just assumed that, being born strong, you'd not learned what it was like to fail.

[Etcetera]

*Appears concerned*

King: It's not about power.
*takes the kick, but I remain unmoving, and you feel as if you'd just kicked solid mineral*

It's what you do with it. Amaranthine isnt a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card. Is simply a means to defy death to continue your growth, the power it gives still has to be learned, and everyone has their own unique way of using it.

@souleaterfan320

*Lowers my leg and slides my hands into my pockets as I take a step back, the hand I withdrew earlier having regained its rigidity in the interim*

Yet you have no choice but to use it once you have it. You can't even branch out to pursue other potentials, because your whole existence lies within a singular thing.

*Shrugs*

It's not a very enticing prospect. As for defying death, I doubt yours is the only way. Why I myself know that I have walked this world in different incarnations before, though I've yet to unlock the specific memories those lives entail. In that way I already defy death just fine, so again I must ask...

*Pauses, my gaze locking with yours*

Why should I join you? You offer me nothing I cannot reasonably achieve on my own, save for empty promises perhaps.

No matter what happens, this next year isn't going to be pleasant.

I'l be here with ya, friend. Through all the bumps and bruises.

*Disappears, reappearing between you two imperceptibly quickly from where I was standing, a wide grin on my face*

And that, there, is the kicker!

*I turn to face King*

Get out of here, has-been. And take your flowers with you.

Has-Been? Interesting words from a stranger of no current importance. Mind moving out of the way? Wouldn't want you getting hurt. You're on a battlefield, you know.

*closes, my eyes, and when they open, they glow a deep purple*

Interestingly enough, it seems you and I are fairly similar. I was just like you, when I first found the previous users of amranthine.I thought like you, that these beings would become too complacent on their power, and fail to have the skill to match. What I failed ot realized is the endless potential for the Amaranthine itself, something that I know, now. It can be molded to fit every situation. Its the perfect base material, its user being the catalyst. There are stil lyet undetected uses for the amaranthine, so much left to learn, so much left to discover. Doesnt that prospect entice you? Endless discovery with all of time to do so?
