Welcome to Gaia! ::

But Morrigan didn't give the demon-god the pleasure of a retort.
She simply glared at them in silence. More likely than not he already had something planned out for the day.
Lovely.

Yuki shook her head. "Don't get emotional." she hugged her. "He'll live. He has to, he's well aware of that. I won't sleep until I'm sure he's at least stable. He had plenty of pills around here.... I doubt it will be much of a problem, but you're more than welcome to keep me company." she offered. "He'll be glad to see you when he gets up."

"I am sorry then," Maeve said, "Dreams are such terrible things to miss."

"Sickness of the lungs," Glendon answered finally. "And perhaps sickness of the heart as well. For her son."

Fir swallowed. "She helped destroy my mark." His voice was unsure like a child whose parents had just shut his bedroom door and left him alone with monsters hiding under the bed.

"And it hit her a few years later," Glendon answered, back still to Fir. The priest made and angry noise in his throat. "She would have lived but for that poison sweeping through her body."

He continued, his voice becoming more heated and bitter with every word. "You are a poison, Rat King. Playing God, turning your back on every moral, spitting at your own history. But all you do is smile and play your part so well and you charm everyone around you into adoring you, following your footsteps of Bacchaen revelry and ultimately destruction. Your own mother was the first you dragged into an early grave, but she is well accompanied now by children you similiarly poisoned and slew."

Fir was shaking, trembling violently in the grasp of the guards.

"What did you say?" he whispered, his voice full of malice.

"I said you killed her, Fir!" Glendon shouted, still facing the tree. "You killed your mother, you killed the children. You killed them all!"

Fir let out a guttanal roar. Suddenly he was rushing the priest, the guards still blinking in confusion as to how he escaped. Fir he lunged at his father, knocking the man over and stratteling his body. His hands were still shackled, so he hit the priest with his bound hands.

"You goddamn b*****d!" Fir screamed. "What the hell do you know, huh? What the hell do you know about any of it?"

The other korreds were rushing Fir now, trying to rescue their leader, but now Fir's hands were around his father's throat, his fingers grinding into the man's windpipe. He wouldn't let go.

"You arrogant b*****d! You don't know anything! SHUT UP!"

Yuki smiled warmly, nodding. "I don't doubt it." she whispered. "If Kaguyo could tell, it'll be even easier for him..."
She gave her a quick hug and a peck on the cheek before rushing back to the tests. "Come on. Let's hook up a monitoring system... We need full security around this area, alright Hapushi-chan?"

"IIE!" Kazuhiko ripped Fir from the priest, "ENOUGH!!!! TOMERU!!! STOP IT!!!"
He barely managed to separate the two, Eara moving to the Korred.
"Fir!" she wrapped her arms around his stomach as tightly as she could from behind, "Fir, don't!!"

Morrigan shook her head. "Fight me." she challenged, forcing herself to her feet.
The tattoos were starting to twist over her shoulders, fading in and out with her heartbeat. "Leave them out of this...!"

"Let me go!" Fir screamed. "Goddammit I'm ordering you to LET GO!" He groaned as a wave of nasea from Kit's wound hit him, magically reacting to the spilled Korred blood.

He sagged in her arms, no longer able to support his own weight as waves of pain rolled over him. Other korreds were quick to bring more silver chains to restrain the crazed Fir.

"You bastards," Fir whispered, his voice thick with hatred.

"Fianna blades work wonders against vermain."

This voice came form a tall and stately female korred that stepped from the tree, gently helping Glendon up. If the priest had looked commanding, it was nothing compared to this korred. She needed no introduction, It was quite clear from the richness of her white robes, to the way she carried herself and her voice, that this was Nematona.

She did not look to Fir, still trying to struggle against Eara, the chains, the korres and his own wound. Instead her eyes went first to Bright Eyes with a small frown.

"You should not be here," she told the girl. "Sam is missing you terribly."

Her eyes then moved to Kazuhiko, who she gave a little bow to. "Hunter, I am pleased to meet you."

"That is a very personal question," Maeve said with a smile.

Aoikage scooted back slightly, but his boots gave him quite the grip.
"Kireina..." he whispered with a sly smirk.
With lightning reflexes, the daemon was on Morrigan before she could even blink, his sword slashing at her rapidly from, what appeared to be, every imaginable angle.
He was fast.
Insanely fast.

"Tabun... demo..." Itachi smiled, "I answered it truthfully. Can I not expect the same?"

Trans:
Probably... but...

But there was one advantage Morrigan was holding out.
She was the Goddess in this form, even if she had a fae's body.
Many of the blows she narrowly dodged, sending lightning and more wind to keep the distance; the water began to freeze into a thousand shards, all of which she sent flying at him rapidly.
She was doing everything she could to keep up with him, but there were definitely new wounds she was only faintly aware of at the moment.
They probably weren't good.

Morrigan definitely looked alarmed by this. Having been here so many days, she wasn't quite the Goddess, nor was she quite Morrigan.
But either way, she had to change her attack.
She focused solely on water and wind now, waves of water crashing upon him like falling concrete.
This wasn't looking good, but she couldn't give up.
