"What you say has wisdom, but let me assure you I'm not going to just let you wander around. I'm not leaving your side and if you do defeat 4 Co then know that you won't be escaping with him without having to defeat me as well." Vincent places his sword back in its scabbard, "Call me old fashioned, but something about having my home plane of existence wiped out because of some extra-dimensional company said so just rubs me the wrong way."

"Perfect." With that she stood from her spot and smiled gently at Vincent before turning back toward the city and holding out the crook of her arm. "Care to escort me then? I could tell you oh so many stories on our trip to the city..." She said trying to drip sarcasm but in the cutest way imaginable.
Impressive, who'd have thought honesty would work this well? I suppose maybe peace but that's because peace is self serving and often doesn't think ahead or presume.
~The louder voices are not always the correct ones.~
Seems we will leave everything to honesty till she is unable to function to fit the chorus' needs. I then believe it would be treachery's turn to take over.
Understood.
Also, if combat prowess is required, Loyalty you may assist honesty as she is unfamiliar with the host. Keep the host alive for as long as possible and learn from your fellows as much as you can in as short of a time as you can.
I get it ok, study and stay safe. Geez old timer, keep it together will you.

"I will accompany you." Vincent says, "Though it may be rude I'll pass on the arm. Something about being that close to an extra-dimensional being with a death-wish for my friend just doesn't feel right..."
((Shall we take this to the adventurer's tavern where 4 Co has so kindly already posted? twisted ))

Talos stepped out of the shadow of a twin trunk-ed tree and drew his dagger almost playfully from its sheath. "Its odd to see this place not rolling with flames. Its also odd to see it without the rows of piked townspeople." Talos pointed at a few locations. "Gerbo was here, I remember him he was a bright one. His poor twisted body limp like a childs. If memory serves it was his airship that gave Vincent the means to begin conquering everything. Bellamin was piked there, that one was particularly grotesque." He stopped and pointed at the ground near a group of flowers. "A lady was buried here, her tomb had a name but the stone was scratched beyond recognition. Seeing as how she wasn't brutally piked I'd assume it was someone important." He smiled a bit, his features still speaking volumes to his character. He made sure his blackened glasses were pushed up over his eyes, and scanned the area. "Come now Vincent old pal, where are you hiding? You have such potential, I've seen it all..." He made a sweeping gesture toward where the piked townspeople would have been, but to anyone but him it would seem mad. "I can tell you a little secret if you show yourself..."

Vincent appears from the wood line, carrying several logs of firewood over his back and muttering something about, "not running out of wood in the middle of winter this year." He throws the logs with the others and brushes off his hands. His posture suddenly stiffens and he turns in the general direction of Talos. "Someone there?" he says as he lays his hand on his sword.

"I wouldn't touch that sword if I were you there pal..." Leaning against the tree he stood beside Talos smirked at Vincent and pointed his dagger at his house. "I understand when I left we weren't on the best of terms, but I've changed so much since then. I've seen things that could rewrite the book of horror and I've stolen my fill. I even found someone who reattached my old arm for me." Sheathing his dagger Talos began walking toward Vincent with his hands out in front of him. "Your probably wondering why I'm here, seems your a popular guy as of late doesn't it?" He gestured to the scorched earth off to his right. "It's that sword Vincent, its that sword and what you would use it for if it gets control of you. Even I'm scared of it, and I wouldn't steal it from you if I could." Talos puts a hand on Vincents shoulder and gestures toward his enclave with a wide sweeping movement of his hand. "Where I was none of this was left, none of Miyr was left. I was given a hint by the Poa of the shadow world though, that events there are liquid and events here are solid. She also said the swords of Xeno would be important and that if I helped you eventually the two of us would find one. My question, oh once great commander of a near impossible to destroy army. Will you accept this task and help me?"

Vincent grumbles a bit at the mention of the sword, but doesn't shrug of Talos' touch. "That shadow realm is, I have a feeling, something I'd rather not know a lot about. But what do you mean, "If you helped me eventually the two of us would find one."? Do you know of where another one might be then?" Vincent asks quizzically, eying the Disruption Blade strapped to his right hip.

Talos follows Vincent's gaze to the Xeno blade tied to his hip and shakes his head. "Yes, I do as a matter of fact. Well at least I know where they were which will lead me to where they are." Producing a worn book he shows Vincent just the title. "This is a book I stole from Cassandra, its a book of ancient weapons." Looking once again at the disruption blade, undoubtedly the original Talos sighed and began walking away from Vincent. "You have no reason to help me it seems. I'm going to have to take the lesser route now, the Tournament, finding the missing curses of Cassandra, and finding the ancient pillar. All the while I'm going to have to build an army. How sad I thought I was free of that loathsome duty." Talos sunk down beneath the tree he had come from and sheathed his dagger his eyes still covered and his fingers doing rough calculations while he occasionally looked at the sky.

Vincent chuckles, "Not necessarily true. While I do have one of the ancient swords of Xeno, this blade is not suited to me...So, assuming I offer my help, what is your next course of action?"

"My first coarse of action? Well mine is to gather tokens, then travel to the fountain of magic to sculpt a loyal follower. That and I will need to reach the ancient pillar twice. This is to give myself a fraction of a chance against death, which will come for all of us someday. After that I plan to search for anything of rare value especially endurance potions of which I will be of dire need. As the book claims the only way to find a xeno sword is to overcome death." Sighing he ran a hand through his hair and adjusted the tinted glasses on his head till they fit properly. "My suggestion for you friend, help me get as strong as you were when you won the tournament. I will forever be grateful and..." At this point Talos seemed visibly in pain as he shuddered it away and opened his mouth again. "...I will owe you, my forming army and I will be at your service."

"I have need to go to the Fountain myself. When you decide to go, I will accompany you." Vincent says, "But know that I am aware of your past. Turn onto a road I do not agree of and you will get only one warning. But if you are truly a different person, then I will be glad to help you."

Turning to leave Talos stops himself and sighs aloud. "One thing before I go Vincent... be careful, I've seen a couple different ways this Eroth ends. Every time it has something to do with the true master of that sword you own. Oh and if you think I've changed completely your kidding yourself. I just see an enemy that even I cannot destroy, so why not make friends and die together?" Laughing a bit he bowed to Vincent and for a moment considered saying something else but then stopped himself and fell backwards into his own shadow disappearing from sight.

Pinta trots down the familiar path leading to Vincent's enclave with her two passengers on board. As what seems to be becoming a familiar occurrence, Mitzka ties the horse off on a tree next to Vincent’s shack and carries Vincent inside with her inhuman strength. She places him on his bed and begins to float around the place. She reflected on what Ivan had told her. She wasn’t sure exactly she would be able to help. Her own control over her destructive emotions only ranged a little better then that of Vincent. As for taking care of the needs of the living, decades spent being a member of the undead had left her a little foggy in that area as well. She also wondered to how much of her friend might have changed from this incident as well. His powers had been taken away had anything else disappeared as well. To be mortal again, would be a dream for her; however Vincent’s case was rather different. She shook her head and sighed. All these questions would be answered soon enough. With the patience of one to which time held no meaning anymore, she sat down in a chair and began to wait.

Two days later, Vincent awakens groggy and dazed. He sits up slowly, groaning at pains he hadn't felt in countless decades. Ivan...why did you do this? Is it so hard for you to understand my pain? Vincent notices Mitzka then, and wonders silently to himself just how long she'd been waiting.

Seeing Vincent finally stir, Mitzka quietly floats over to the side of his bed. Her eyes are cloaked in shadow. "I see you have finally awakened." Suddenly she raises her hand and slaps Vincent across his face. Her eyes loom into view, angry and brimming with tears. "You sent me into that nightmare, Vincent. I became a monster! If it wasn't for Ivan, I would have..." She trails off. She turns her face away now, embarrassed. "Forgive me, but I have brooded on this for a few days now. An outlet was necessary."
