The Hourglass Vs. The Circle Of Wandering

[Cyrix_Gothra07]

A blessed union in the matching of powers is not verily required, but since I am not gathering enough blood, I will have to suffice for this mongrel's skills. I sincerely hope that he has not forgotten his role as my master, but I really do not benefit from any of this.

There is such a trial at hand, though, when one thinks about it, you cannot run from fate, as HE has. All the while moving with his tails inbetwixt his legs, he is forgetting about the divine prowess he is able to display at times when he is not being a complete fool. I do believe that he thinks of combat as some sort of dodge or even a hustle if you will. His attacks are poor, the strength that he claims to boast is no more than a mouse's squeak, and I have come here today to prove that certain point valid indeed. His point of going on is quite bewildering, and moresoever pathetic, as well as weak.

I, however, will re-invent the art of pain upon him; I will cut, slice and mangle his thoughts until the absolution of fear shrieks inside of his mind to the breaking point of episodes of insatiable insanity, and until body begs for my mighty Hourglasss to put IT to rest forever!

While you, the reader, may reflect upon the wonderous and yet zany past of my master, I beg to differ; noone in their minds of justice would ever speak to such a lowly creature, let alone associate themselves as "Kin" to him. I will stand here with my Hourglass of Conformance and await this bafoon's arrival. This will prove quite the entertainment to the brinc of a slight chuckle at best."

Ben moved along playfully, murring a bit, having just bathed and dried himself completely. He felt quite refreshed and since Gothra was going to talk all of that shit to him in the first place, he deemed it important to put his student back in his place. Things with the two had been boiling over for a long time, but this was not typical. Gothra never took it upon himself to just openly challenge someone unless Ben gave him the permission to; and challenging his master was not an exception to the very rule itself.

No matter, Ben thought it could fall under the word of nice that Gothra was still thinking about him and still trying to belittle the Daichon. This rarely ever worked, save for when he spent time with Okina Raynes. That girl made Ben feel so alive at times, but alas, that had wanned into the past.

Now armed with the Pscythe Of Obelisk, Benaires Silver Alex Daichon, age of 45, 690 years, walked onto the battle field, which resembled a forest clearing. There were no animals around; how odd indeed. Gothra sure knew how to pick an area to get pummeld in. Curling up his left paw, Ben gazed in the distance to see his student, who had prepared for just this moment. Avus may have some differences with his blood relative, but Gothra, on the other hand, had some kind of deep fascination with hating the one who only took it as considerate to even show him about life on the physical plane.

[Cyrix_Gothra07]

The beast has finally made his clumsied appearance. Just look at him; it is both a shame and an insult that such a noble race is being led by such an idiot! No matter though; I will prevail. Taking a few steps into this creature's direction, I grip the handle of my Hourglass of Conformance, letting forth a slight gesture and even an evil smirk; the nerve of him to actually show UP!! My sandals barely make noise across the wet and green grass, as the gap now closes betwixt the two of us.

Waving my right arm some, I begin to summon a light wind to assist me in my first attack, for which the dumb animal knows of very well. I now take a stop, placing the time piece onto the grass, crushing it some as I come to rest for a few moments. With a brief reach into the top of my Hourglass, I then get a nice hand full of the sands inside, pulling the granules out of the container, bringing it close to my face. A slow opening of the palm would expose this sand, as I was to take a breath of great proportions, now exhaling, sending it blasting out of my grasp and into the direction of the dumb animal. Hoi! Hoi! It is such a wonderous attack that if Benaires did not do something about it, he would feel the energy signature of his very being suddenly weaken and perhaps wisked away into nothingness, and this fight would end painlessly.

[Princeben072]

Ben only sighed; he knew what maneuver was; Gothra used it quite often. Fighting with this Blood Farmer certainly made for good entertainment. "Conformance Kiss Sand Blast? You're still using that crap? Okay, two can play that game!"

Lunasol

Ben closed his eyes as the Circle Of Wandering took on a glow of blue, verifying a user's spell to use without delay. His body would take on a glow of blue as well, as the molecular structures of his body began to fade, suddenly bursting into beams of light in all directions. Gothra's attack only did one thing; nothing. It was very difficult to tell where Ben could be since it was bright and sunny outside in this place of combat, but the mighty Daichon already planned on where he would re-assemble himself. Without a sound, the light itself began to gather up behind Gothra, as Ben then would take physical form once again, appearing 4 inches away from Gothra's back, reaching with his left paw to palm fist Gothra with such force that it would perhaps propel him forward, sending him into flight.

[Cyrix_Gothra07]

This is truely a DUMB animal; to think that I actually was thinking that he had improved. I had seen this one use Lunasol before, as a pre-charge for this maneuver udally drained upon the re-assembly of the molecular structure. Closing my eyes, I can detect a chage in the air pressure that is behind me; this is a dead give-away for the dumb animal. Spinning a complete 360 degrees, anchored on the balls of my feet, I expect a blow to come from this beast, but he may want to think twice about trying to make a contacted blow such as an open Palm Fist.

I intended to swing the Hourglass into the front of me, perhaps to thwart the oncoming blow from Benaires, as this would render itself as a very nice surprise. The speed of his body is quite impressive, even if he is over 3, 000 pounds. I would guess that this larger lion hasn't heard this mouse roar as of yet.

[Princeben072]

What a wondrous reaction; Ben did not believe this. Gothra would risk his Hourglass being damaged by that blow. With such a primitive way to defend himself, Gothra really was not thinking clearly. Ben's blow collided with the Hourglass, sending forth an echo and a rippling wave of sound in all directions, causing a few trees to bend and sway to the sheer force of the blow itself.

Placing his left hind paw behind him more, he decided to step back, knowing that his opponent dared not to back down. Being confident of such an attack deemed too risky and yet careless for the Daichon.

A glow of red then switched from the antennae and to the ends of them temporarily, indicating a communication to the Ancestral Pattern1. Ben had to think things through carefully this time: Gothra had seemed to have anticipated his counter-attack.

Prep: Unknown ability charging as communication with Ancestral Pattern.

[Cyrix_Gothra07]

"Now do you understand Mongrel? I am more than a match for your prowess. Let us continue, shall we?"

Taking a few steps back, raising that Hourglass, I then proceed to charge up more energies inside of the body of this timepiece and tool. While the dumb animal has not a clue as to what my arsenal consists of, he will most definitely look forward to some type of an attack in the next few turns.

[Princeben072]

"I thought I told you to stop calling me that Gothra!!"

Ben's mouth was to open up wide, as an electrical impulse raced from his tails and up through his entire body. 1

1Electrolysis is activated.

[Cyrix_Gothra07]

Amazing! The dumb animal still was persistant to continue this useless struggle. Each time the rays of consciousness extended into Cocytus, there were constant interruptions from the influx of energies from the Ancestral Pattern; as if I had not known this flow of consciousness at all. Benaires was a very precocious animal indeed.

Nonetheless, I had to act quicly. I still had not a clue as to why his communication with the Ancestral Pattern was still linked; perhaps he was about to actually try an attack that I could verily honor.

Electrolysis; I was quite familiar with this particular attack in that, he used this often during his fights. It had become some kind of apathetic crutch that Benaires used in every battle or confrontation that he engaged in, not being able to make his mark on a particular target.

The left palm of my hand quickly took a glow of white, charging with a temporary orb of A.T. Energy, in hopes that I would be able to thwart this charged ball of electricity. For as soon as Benaires was to release this attack, which would likely be at my upper body cavity, I would be able to flash the open palm in front of my intended contact spot, with hopes to bounce it out of its original path of damage.

[Princeben072]

How cute!! Gothra had finally begun to realize that Benaires was trying to be "playful" in this aspect. Each movement of his limber body posed a simple threat; the Skeletal Distribution System. Most of the time during brief battles, Ben's girth would shift by itself or upon his will. A stretching out of the right furry arm, along with the sidden shift in weight from 3, 450 lbs to approximately 215 pounds in less than one second,1 also gave Ben the opportunity to perhaps push himself off Gothra to immediately distance himself from the Blood Farmer's previous attack. 2 This adjustment in time would allow for the ball of electricity to finally exit from Ben's mouth, shooting directly at Gothra's upper body cavity.3

With these series of actions, Ben was sure that his opponent had not the sufficient enough time to counter. Ben's travel path, however, deemed itself a short distance. Could this be enough for the charge of black, purple and blues hues now enveloping his entire visage again? 4

1. Skeletal Distribution System Active
2. Push off Gothra's body for distance
3. "Electrolysis" Released.
3. Dark Terror has been initiated.

[Cyrix_Gothra07]

Wonderous, just wonderous! I had finally began to understand what it could be that pushed this dumb animal beyond his technical limits in combat. Noticing the initiation of the Shadow of The Soul, I was most flabbergasted as to how Benaires could constantly thwart my attempts of causing a blood letting of his very persona.

Using the orb of A.T., I tried to contact the electrolysis ball that was speeding at me, with a perfected, yet unbridled slamming of the A.T. into that attack. The result would be a neutralizing of the intended point of contact, as I then noticed Benaires distancing himself from me for the time-being. What could this creature be up to right now? Paying attention to the dark energies pouring from his ears, I decided to make a few moves or footsteps back, in order to regain my balance and stance, respectively.

Once at a full stance, I seemed to have some idea of simply how this creature functioned; it gave off a hint of poetic movements, something of a gentle giant so to speak. The flow of bodily gestures was almost pragmatic; the dumb animal could not mistake himself for pure beauty.
I could not forget how his large frame bounced along the ground, though in a clumsy fashion; it looked breath-taking.

Rings Of Cocytus

Most would not bewilder themselves with fantasy; the dramatic events in which all life includes itself in could not be distinguished; minute details of ferocious fear tend to plague even the pessimistic individuals throughout the very realities of life.

The layers of noise of lamentation, Cocytus, hails me as its harlot, not even a beast in the greatest sense. Pulling the noise from this place in which I was born and raised, having not the sense to come unto this pestillant plane of physicality, I begin to summon forth noise-filled Halos, which had the ability to, upon contact, explode into shrieks of noise to perhaps damage the hearing of the beast.

[Princeben072]

Ben understood exactly what Gothra was doing at last. This attack could permanently damage his sensitive hearing, but how could the furball end up victorious?

Stage 1: The Chains of Sorrow
Knowing that Gothra had NOT released the Rings of Cocytus, this would be the perfect opportunity to close the case of such a fight. Since Ben had already activated the Shadow of The Soul, simply implementing the power of D.T. could be easily performed. Using the powers of the Circle Of Wandering, Ben first initiated the swirling rifts right above Gothra's head. Each rift would be about 10 inches in diameter, taking substance to the point that the Blood Farmer would not pay much attention since he had only PREPPED for his attack.

The Chains of Sorrow would quickly shoot forth from each rift, with intentions of somehow wrapping around the wrists of the opponent. If this landed in time, Gothra could not toss those stupid rings at his master. However, this was only the beginning of the end of the complaining fighter.

Stage 2: The Circle Of Wandering

Antennae of two upon his head took a glow of red, signifying communication with The Ancestral Pattern. Gothra was to find a gigantic eight-pointed star forming right under his feet, as the glow of red subsided. The Circle Of Wandering would be almost 75 feet in circumference.This anti-magic maneuver was what Ben could use, even if the mighty Chains of Sorrow failed. By using this, a temporary binding of Gothra's powers took place almost immediately. He could not use his Hourglass to thwart on this set of preparations; a hearth for the fire; Dark Terror Bomb.

Gathering the D.T., Ben then summoned a baseball-sized orb into the left paw. Pulling back with all of his might, he then tossed the ball of energy directly into the direction of the Blood Farmer. Now being blocked from all of his own abilities, there was nil time to react; perhaps a beating is what this arrogant bag of wind actually needed to stay in his place. If the D.T. Bomb exploded upon contact, cellular disruption was possible. This would put a close to this particular fight without fail.

[Cyrix_Gothra07]

O_O I cannot believe that this dumb animal is using the exact same attacks on me that it has on most of his opponents; and there is NOTHING that I can do about it!!! He had found a way to put a nail into the coffin, so to speak. It had taken me years to perfect my art of Vermillion, and he, Benaires had upset it all in just one, SINGLE fight!! I could not move for the moment, knowing that his magic had already neutralized my powerful Hourglass of Conformance, and with such ease too.

I watched as that dark ball sped into my direction; a bead of sweat dropped from my brow; if I didn't now react without haste, then it would be obvious that this mongrel be the victor. How much damage COULD a Dark Terror Bomb of this size actually do? Struggle as I tried, I could not move from that spot; and since I could not summon my Hourglass to block this attack, it had seemed that all was lost in this simplistic confrontation.
