Basically she did the thing where toddlers will wrap their whole hands around only a few fingers to him. But she's pulling him away from the Neph.

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

*whispers "magical asshole" under my breath*

@Jeyma

you're right though. he's gone so far as to call the creature names and condemn it primarily based on his hatred for them, though he is generally a pretty nice guy. its just character depth. what a fuckin magical asshole

Yeah, but Shertul isn't doing it to mock magic at all. He's doing it to enhance himself so he wouldn't die in the Waste. And would Leo kill the other artists?

No no, don't try that reasoning with me. Kaezira is just a magical asshole.

@Jeyma

thats the thing, this isnt a real life reasonable explanation this is just his explanation. Kaezira, in his own views, perceives fleshspinning as a mockery, even if it is not inteded to be. Kaezira has a very very deep passion for magic, so this "mockery" very very deeply offends him.

it was kind of a bad comparison but u get where im coming from

Okay but damn, these Nephilim really are pretty bad. Like, Shertul has never harmed anyone (scared a lot of people, yes, threatened murder to passerby who happened to see his body, yes, but never actually done it because he's a chicken ) and their whole reasoning is "A few people at his Monastery are evil, and he's gross, so he has to die for walking into the town!"

I mean, if these are our good guys, what the hell do the bad ones act like?

@Jeyma

the Nephilim see fleshspinning as a dark magic, and any types of dark magic a threat to Terra, and something in possible connection to the Revenant. in Kaezira's eyes, fleshspinning is a mockery of the beautiful art of magic. put into real world comparison, Leonardo da Vinci made Mona Lisa and he was like "hey this is pretty cool" and he worked hard on it and it was his art form, then some asshole's like "haha art is dumb" and then makes a mockery painting of the Mona Lisa called the "Moner Lizer", thus Leo is offended.

the Nephilim are simply doing what they have sworn to do.

"I do." The warrior centaur stepped forward to show her allegiance with the Nephilim. Kaezira adores horses and centaurs alike, they are noble and strong creatures. Both of them great fit for a furry friend. "Ah, quite a beautiful mare you are. Strong warhorse. I adore your physique. Now then, you're here to slay monsters? Help us rid of this beast."

The creature began its speech upon the two Nephilim men. He'd agreed with Kaezira, telling the crowd to flee before their own guards slay them on their way here. Hardly imaginable, he'd think the guards of Wellborough to be thoroughly trained. Nevertheless, the creature has a hate for Nephilim he'd like to share. He accused the Nephilim of being truly evil and selfish at heart. Mockery is this creature's form of religious discussion. How neutral of it. No real insight into the things it believes, it blindly follows the rest of the sheep, all under the same unreasonable influence. They simply ignore the great the Nephilim have done for them. Of course, the Nephilim at any time could abandon the neutrals to fend for themselves, and see just how long they will last without a higher protection.

Carlisle was angered by the monstrosity's speech. While Kaezira simply ignored the redundant, passive-agressive hatred, Crow took it to heart. He became enraged with the holy light surrounding him. His eyes glowing as bright as the runes on his body. Now, a real argument could be heard against the creature's speech. How informed, how logical. Music to the ears.

As crow approached the foolish vermin, his gaze glanced towards the girl with the Revenant birthmark. Kaezira had before noticed the Revenant marking on her thigh, but knew the girl was innocent. He thought not much more of it than a purely unfortunate coincidental resemblance. This girl, however, reminded Carlisle of his memory. Carlisle often sought out mental help because of how scarring the event was for him. In following traces of dark magic, Crow was eventually led to a young woman, who'd had the darkness inside of her. She was a corrupted soul far beyond repair. Crow followed through on his duties, and the woman's dark soul was laid to rest.

After seeing the young woman, he collapsed. His energy drained from his very being. "Just...go." He sent the creature off, and the girl followed with. Kaezira wasn't content with Carlisle's decision, but he thought it a waste of time and effort to take care of the useless creature himself. At least Crow would have gained something from it.

"You must come to terms with your past, Corvus. You're becoming weak because of it, you mustn't let it get the best of you. You have to be strong if you are to continue out your duties of defending Terra, weakness cannot hold you back. Do you understand?" He held his arm out towards Crow, to give him a hand getting off the ground. "You will ensure that girl is safe from the Fleshspinner. Who knows what should come of her if she spends too much time with it. If you believe she has a connection to the Revenant, I have no doubts she could be persuaded to join them, or become a Fleshspinner herself. She's well known in Wellborough, I can't have more neutrals blaming the Nephilim for something happening to their people."

im really enjoying the difference in religious views in this RP it adds a lot of depth

when Kaezira just watches a girl with a revenant birth mark just drag away a closely connected creature and one of his most hated creatures

Sorry @Soragoku, Kaezira is going to be very annoyed.

Especially by the very anti-climatic solution.

@Emuxe

fuck.
