Orpheus had only a moment to consider Nera’s words before moved on and eventually was dancing stunningly in front of the group. Of one thing he was certain. He didn't want to watch the ones he cared about die anymore. He didn't want to lose anything else close to him again. He glanced around the room looking at his new companions, realizing some of them may grow into an issue. He didn't care. As far as he could see he was fairly likely to be the peacekeeper of this group, whether he liked to or not. He didn't mind the task.
He watched as his essence surrounded him. A crisp white except for the stain of a blood red coating it's center. Yet just as quickly as it had appeared it was gone.
Suddenly something pierced his chest and he was filled with an undeniable sense of peace. Orpheus could feel the strings that held together the universe humming in a beautiful song as if being plucked like a harp. He felt a strong connection to everything, the strongest being to the ones in this very room. He'd never felt such awesome harmony in all his existence. At least he didn't think he had.
He slowly opened his eyes and felt a terrifying presence behind him turning quickly he found a huge blade laying there. It was of a uniform width and quite large and he struggled as he picked it up, just missing being beheaded as the petite girl nearly took his head off. That had to be some astonishing luck. As he brought the sword forward it's seemingly white surface seemed to morph into black flames, casting a blue aura around it. Looking down at the hilt he saw it was coated in leopard skin and at the end was a silver leopard head. It's eyes moved surveying it's surroundings as it yawned looking unamused.
As he glanced over he watched the girl fall into the abyss that lay in front of her and walked towards it. He turned quickly to address the rest of them. “Into the unknown we go, eh?” He said bowing low towards them and smiling, then turning to Nera. ”I imagine I shall see you very soon. You will let me know if I'm needed in between then?” He gave her a wink and a bow and turned around and dived into the darkness.
Into the unknown indeed. He thought to himself as he plummeted.
