New Beginnings (Finished)

[Annabelle]

**Background**

Annabelle has left Kiru City for a long time in order to pursue her craft and find new adventures after she discovered staying here would only weaken her. All the friends she had made here only crippled her. Annabelle had always been a lone wolf, and now that she had people she needed to care about besides herself, the responsibility of keeping them safe and making sure they didn't turn on her or break her heart was too great, so she ran off. After a while though, she began feeling upset and then lonesome, in a way Kiru City was her home, and she was very homesick. Now many moons later she returns to the Market Green, where in a way her adventure began. 

**End of Background**

Annabelle walks around the Market feeling nostalgic as all hell, as she sees all the old vendors and produce she grew to know in her time spent here. Little things changed here and there but overall it was the same Market she regularly visited, what seemed like, so long ago. Annabelle's heart pounds as she looks around, her eyes peeled for any monsters, crooks, or familiar faces that might be lurking about. She grips onto her potions belt tightly to keep it from getting snatched. Annabelle is always prepared. Sword in her scabbard, she walks along the pavement confident that she can take out any potential threats if she needs to. After a while spent in the market she senses no danger and manages to relax a bit. All that tension has made her hungry, so she walks over to the fruit stand for a snack. Her mind wonders how her old friends are, and if there are any new ones to be made.

[Ravus Bacavan]

He sighed, as he tucked one of his blades into his jacket. He sulked through the marketplace, casually browsing with no intention on buying anything. His hand slid across the stands, with his other on the handle of one of his prized blades. With each stride he made across the marketplace stands, fear grew in abundance in the shopkeepers eyes. Once he arrived at the fruit stand, completely ignoring Annabelles presence, he reached for an apple. He picked it up, took a bite, then placed it back down with the rest of the fruit. Of course the shopkeeper wouldn't say anything, he was already intimidated by Ravus as is.

[Annabelle]

Annabelle eyes the suspicious man as he approaches the stand. She cautiously places a hand near her sword just in case. When she see's him bite into the fruit without paying and putting it back she can't help but look at the vendor and sees the fear in his eyes. Annabelle's faces grows hard and she balls her hand into a fist.

"Aren't you going to pay for that?" She shouts while turning towards Ravus.

[Ravus Bacavan]

He turned towards hers, his eyes squinting with judgement. He noticed her hand on her blade, but he decided to let that go.

"I'm pretty sure he won't mind adding to my tab."

He said, planting his hand on the table, his eyes turning towards the shopkeeper, almost like a threat. His eyes as red as a demons, as the shopkeeper nodded his head worringly.

[Annabelle]

Annabelle kept her hard demeanor, whilst clenching her jaw. She wasn't afraid. She stared at him right in his blood red eyes. Hmm, he must be a no good demon. Annabelle thought to herself. This only fueled her anger. 

"Why don't you pay for what you've taken and be on your way? Maybe stop terrorizing the poor vendors while you're at it."  She said through her teeth.

[Amaterasu]

Minato enters*
Minato walks around and overhears two people arguing about fruit*
"Hey random strangers do you know where the nearest inn is"

[Ravus Bacavan]

He was too preoccupied and annoyed by Annabelle to even acknowledge Minato. He wasn't going to pay for anything, and he sure as hell wasn't going to be intimidated by some chic with some fancy tools.

"Maybe you should walk away before this gets out of hand."

At this point, they were face to face, with a cocky smirk painted on his face.

[Annabelle]

Annabelle glances over to the new person joining the conversation, but she couldn't let Ravus get away with this, so she decided to save that conversation for later and turns back to Ravus, who was too close to Annabelle for comfort. She could feel his breath on her face. She balls both her hands into a fist this time and grinds her teeth. 

"Is that a threat?" She challenges.

[Amaterasu]

With Minato just joining the conversation that is quickly escalating, he tilts his head for a moment, then realizes what's is going on.

"Ohhhh I get it." Wrapping his arms around both of them* "I thought for a second you were going to kill each other, but now I get it. You two are arguing over what to have for dinner. Oh how love will stay young. Look as a generous offer to the both of you and the city, I'll cook dinner for the both of you ,
and pay for it. I do need a kitchen since I don't live here."

[Ravus Bacavan]

He raised his hand, and with a sudden whip of his hand, he hit Minatos arm off of his shoulder. He gritted his teeth, angered. His blade hilt seemed to beg to be drawn, as his eyes glowed with a blood red light.

"Do not touch me!"

[Annabelle]

Annabelle slowly removes his arm from around her.

"I'm sorry but I think you are mistaken, we are not a couple!" Annabelle looks over at Ravus disgustedly. "Not even close. THIS man is a THIEF! And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure he does not get away with this injustice."

[Amaterasu]

Minato speaks bowing

I am so sorry for the confusion. But what do you mean by injustice?

Minato still bowing pulls a small grin, feeling his power surge a little from the tempting pleasure that is injustice.

[Ravus Bacavan]

He huffed, as he turned around and began walking away, he had other things to do and he couldn't be bothered with such stupidity. He had other things to attend to.

[Annabelle]

Annabelle crossed her arms. "He took this poor vendors crop without paying and now he's walking away pretending it didn't happen," she explained to Minato, then scoffed at Ravus. "Coward." She grimaced, whilst shaking her head in disgust. Nothing made her angrier than someone so dishonorable, and obnoxious, especially when they are a demon. YUCK! Annabelle paid for the apple that Ravus left bitten, still disgusted by his actions.

[Amaterasu]

Minato lifts his smiling head to Annabelle's and tilts slightly.

So since that's done, all this tension has made me hungry.

Minato walks up to the vendor eyeing the crops thinking on what to make. He turns around and asks...

"What are you in the mood for?"

[Ravus Bacavan]

He suddenly rips the blade out of his jacket, thunderbolts crackling off of it, as he tore the blade through the vendors chest, as blood painted his face. But, his eyes seemed to fit in fine.

"Hows that for cowardly?"

[Annabelle]

Annabelle jumps back and screams at the sight, covering her mouth with her hands. Her eyes are tearing up as the poor vendor lies dead on the floor. Her sadness quickly turns to anger as she turns to Ravus and draws her blade.
"You...you MONSTER!!! How DARE you??!!! Killing an innocent man, he did nothing to deserve this. I'LL KILL YOU!!!"  She screams while pointing her blade at Ravus.

[Amaterasu]

Minato still smiling in place opens his eyes to notice blood on his tailcoat and face. Flashbacks to his birth ritual appear in his mind. Minato, enraged from his memory snaps into his demon persona. Eyes wide open and turning Blood red, Minato locks his eyes upon his target, Ravus. Minato pulling out a dark purple orb from his pocket, grasping it tightly. A crack starts to take place in the orb.

"Guess you want to die today huh?"

[Ravus Bacavan]

Before he could even begin to talk, his eyes narrowed upwards at the looming threat above the 2, staring him down.

"... I'm not sure if i'm the one you should be worrying about."

He said, in a hasty tone. As he pulled one blade from the vendors chest, and the other from his side.

[Deity]

The member 'Ravus Bacavan' has done the following action : Dices roll

'Monster Dice' :

[Annabelle]

Annabelle quickly drops her attention from Ravus and turns her blade to the new threat that has appeared. Oh, what now?! Annabelle thinks to herself. She's here one day and already trouble is stirring. She squints her eyes and asserts her ready for battle stance.

[Amaterasu]

Minato thirsting for blood needs to kill something and now. Minato with the orb still in his hand crushes it and clouds start to form above head blocking out all light. Minato having Annabelle near his side grabs her by her arms, staring into her eyes.

You'll thank me later

Minato gives Annabelle "eyes of the void" allowing her to see during the night.

[Ravus Bacavan]

"Its a knight. Most likely here for my head."

He sighed, as his blades sparked with electricity, flowing through the twin swords.

"He'll probably be after you two as well."

He span the left sword around his wrist, struggling to see in the dark, but due to the light of the sparking blades, he would manage... Barely.

[Annabelle]

Annabelle looks at Minato and shakes her head while smiling, simply amazed. 

"How'd you do that?" She asked while still paying attention to the events unfolding before her, waiting for someone to make a move.

[Amaterasu]

Minato still enraged.

I'll show you how later, right now we have a fight to win.
