Welcome to Gaia! ::

"hmmmm... interesting..."

Illudere cocked his head to one side without breaking eye contact with the boy, pondering another train of thought as he spoke..

"So you're a weapon, and a half-demon, and you have no partner... I must ask, have you ever fed your demon half? Have you ever had it awaken and indulge itself, had it take the reigns and lead? DO you even know what triggers it?"

"Now that's an interesting idea... is it truly triggered by rage? Or is it that it can only manifest when your human side loses control? Your demon side is repressed, think of it as a caged animal that wants to run free. When you are angry, you leave the door to that proverbial cage unlocked and your demon side can get out... and like anything that has been imprisoned, the first thing it will do once free is revel in that freedom while it can."

Illudere smiled coyly and shifted his posture to a much more relaxed stance. He thought for a moment before dropping a proposal.

"I am no meister, I have had weapon partners over the years, but I am by no means a formal meister. Leave the DWMA, their ideas are poisonous and closed minded, come with me and learn to be all you can be. I can teach you to embrace your demon half, but more importantly i can help you free yourself"

"I agree it is calm, but the company here is rather stale. Xyeex I can take but that other guy is annoying me." Cedrick said to Vi .

Illudere's posture instantly stiffened at the boy's rejection, his expression lost what hints of warmth it had, and he returned to standing.

"You realize that they will never fully accept you for what you are... they will tell you that your demon side is evil, and unleashed by rage... they will govern you with fear, and shackle you with deceit..."

He turned slightly, pivoting on his heel to face towards Cedrick whose comment his enhanced senses picked up.

"I have no problems if you take issue with me boy, but if you want to keep your tongue I suggest you have at least a degree of discretion when talking about those who are present..."

he let out an exaggerated mocking sigh before continuing in a sardonic tone as though he was speaking to himself, yet loud enough to be heard.

"...it's as if common courtesy is dead"

Vi sighed. She kicked her feet sitting in the tree. "Illudere, is not that bad in my opinion, really he believes that he can learn from others. He learned from Vironica and I on how we allow control to each other."

Vi looked down and sighed. "Unlike most people, I am able to tolerate much more people. But with how anti-social I really am nobody knows that my tolerance is high. As for Xyeek, I can get along with him, just not as well as others." She let out a heavy sigh and looked at Cedrick. She jumped from the tree and smiled. "Others like you." She smiled and kissed the young weapon boy.

Vi's eyes became pinpoint with the red color."Don't tell anyone you met Vironica. You are about to meet her." Vi said before Vironica took over for some time. "Hello, Cedrick. It's nice to meet my other half's lover." Vironica and Vi's appearance looked different. Vironica had shark like teeth and pinpoint eyes with constantly changing color. Vironica laughed slightly. "Not surprised that Vi's lover is her weapon."

Without really thinking, Illudere's demonic side reacted to the Kishin's energy, adrenaline rushing through his blood as he almost instantaneously shed his common mortal guise. His hair and eyes darkened as his claws and horns burst from his hands and forehead. He looked upwards, brushing his hair out of his face. He smiled at the Kishin revealing a mouth full of needle-like teeth.

"I meant no harm nor disrespect through my presence. My name is Illudere, I am a wanderer of sorts..."

He delivered a short bow, painfully conscious of the energy saturating the area, he could feel the warm darkness creeping up from the bottom of his mind, hear the voices telling him to fight, to feed, tiny voices telling him not to care... to seek out extreme sensation at any cost.

"So I gather that you are the master here then?"

((OOC: I couldn't find your profile, could you shoot me a link to that so I can take a peek... I'm fairly new to the guild xd ))

Illudere had recently sated himself, so the thoughts that clawed at the back of his mind were not too difficult to drive back down into the depths of his consciousness. He had had confrontations with many exceptionally powerful individuals, but he was not actively looking for a fight. Illudere had not survived over a century by being reckless and throwing caution to the wind.

"The irony of that is not entirely lost on me, however I must ask what gives you the right to pass judgement on us. The path of humanity was lost to me long ago... truth be told, it is never one that I truly walked. I have tasted the blood of thousands, bathed myself in the lives of those who I've shared the pleasures of the flesh with. I have inflicted great pain, and given great pleasure to more than I can count. Yet... I do not consider myself evil for doing so. How could I be? A predator is not evil for feeding itself, and in essence, that is all I really am."

He took a step towards the Kishin, his posture was non-threatening, but he was still ready to move at a moment's notice should this conversation take a turn for the worse.

"...As for your students, the Girl was interesting to me, she's an oddity that I have not seen in my lifetime, and the half-demon boy could be so much greater if he could tap into his demon side without the use of anger. I merely wanted to show him his potential... And that one"

He tilted his head towards Cedrick,

"He is of little interest or consequence to me..."
