 Nora
Nora thought Silas would have given her a bit more time to get his spear, but he hadn't, he had already been fighting Lucian, and she had a hell of a time getting past the guards, and Lucian would find a few of them laying dead if he ever cared to leave his throne.
Running into the throne room, Nora tossed him his spear. "Silas!" She screamed when she tossed it to get his attention. There he was again, the man who had taken Ellie's life, who had taken Nine's, who had tried to take Ivy's as she was told. She didn't know if she should help, or stand aside and watch. She didn't know if she should call eleven, or let him be with his mother in peace. She was conflicted with emotions, and waited for guidance from Silas.

Silas Thorn  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When he heard Nora, the viper looked over to see his spear flying through the air towards him. Immediately, Silas rolled to the right and back onto his feet so he could pluck the spear from the air and just in time too. Lucian was upon his again. Lucian swung downwards with a violent and powerful blow that Silas easily spun his body away from. As he spun away Silas flipped his spear between his hands, spinning it at an equal speed as he was spinning his own body until he suddenly came to a halt and thrust the spear forward at Lucian's back. The king turned and smacked the attack aside but Silas was quick and used the momentum to smack Lucian across the face with the blunt end of his spear. It had little effect other than irritating the mad king who then surged forward towards Silas. With his spear Silas moved much quicker than he had with a sword, he managed to block each of Lucian's strikes and even return some of his own. But the battle could only drag on for so long before one of the two men found an advantage.
Lucian was not accustom to fighting a man with a spear. He had centuries of practice fighting others with swords but a spear presented a difficult obstacle. you could not hit one side of a spear without giving momentum to the other. However Lucian had a plan around it. He waited until Silas thrust the blade forward and instead of smacking it aside, Lucian stepped towards the spear and shifted his body to the left so that the blade on the end glided by him. Then Lucian grabbed the shaft of the spear and pulled it towards him dragging Silas into his reach. Lucian hit Silas in the throat again with the pommel of his sword, causing the man to release his spear and fall onto the ground. Lucian tossed the spear aside and stabbed downwards at Silas's head but the target was honestly to small and all Silas did to dodge was wiggle slightly to the left. Then Silas drove his fist across Lucian's face. clearly unprepared for that Lucian seemingly had o shift his balance to remain standing but Silas did not allow Lucian that much time. The viper wrapped his own arm around Lucian's and pulled the king downwards into another punch, followed by another and another until the king fell to his knees. Silas rolled onto his own knees in an action that bent Lucian's arm backwards until it popped out of it's socket. Then Silas spun around Lucian- both men still on their knees- and wrapped his arm around the King's throat. He leaned backwards to cut off Lucian's breath and without his power the Mad King couldn't get around it. Lucian's left arm, which had not been dislocated, drove up to his throat to pry Silas off of him but when he realized it was futile Lucian adopted a different plan.
The Valarian King began driving his elbow backward into Silas's stomach repeatedly until the viper's grip failed. When that happened Lucian flung Silas over him onto the ground and drove his fist downwards at Silas's head but Silas had once again moved out of the way. Now Silas stood with his spear in hand again while Lucian remained on his knees with one arm dislocated and shallow breaths. Silas's unorthodox fighting style had given him an advantage most lacked, so had Silas's ability to deprive Lucian of his powers.

Nora
Nora wanted to talk Silas out of this, to talk him into leaving, he could, they could flee now, but now both of their lives were at stake if he slipped up and could no longer hide Lucian’s abilities.
Every time Silas had a hit, she would look away, and every so often she would reached for her sword when she thought things were getting rough for him. She could step in and fight with her blade, it would be a nice challenge to have someone who could match her. She looked around for something that would be useful to take, to use while Lucian was occupied. Did he have something that could bring him down? some secret he used to bring down the numbers?

Silas Thorn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"If this is the best a king can offer I am really disappointed. They said you would be a challenge. They said I would die here. This has honestly been a disappointment." Silas taunted as he spun his spear once more before charging forward at Lucian. The king looked dazed and tired. He looked as if he was defenseless. He was not. Silas thrust his blade forward and Lucian caught it with his left hand. Lucian pulled the spear towards him again and as he did the muscles in his right shoulder reset his arm. It hurt but he got over it.
Silas was taken by surprise when Lucian pulled him forward. He couldn't react fast enough to stop the king from grabbing his throat and lifting him into the air as Lucian stood up. "You will die here boy. You and all others who stand in my way." With that Lucian began tightening his grip. Silas could feel the pressure around his neck and could no longer breath. His face began to turn shades of purple and he clawed at Lucian's hands around his neck. Then, as dark rings began forming around the edges of his vision, Silas lashed out with his feet, kicking Lucian as much as he could. The King took the blunt of the kicks with ease but one kick caused Lucian to drop Silas. The Viper had kicked the King in the throat and without his powers, Lucian did need to breath. Lucian couldn't fully diagnose what had happened but he could feel that Silas had fractured his windpipe. Oh it hurt immensely and in his rage Lucian grabbed his sword and charged at Silas who had only just gotten back to his feet. Silas slid to the right to maneuver around Lucian and then kicked his spear from the ground back into his hands as Lucian charged again. Silas smacked the blade aside with the blunt end of his spear and then spun the spear around and slashed the back of Lucian's leg as he moved past. He had cut a lot deeper than he intended and had severed Lucian's hamstring. Lucian fell back into a kneeling position as Silas spread his arms out wide.
"Is this the part where you kill me or did we skip that?" Silas let out a slight laugh as he walked over to the kneeling kind who let out a wild swing trying to sever Silas's leg. Silas slid backward slightly to avoid it and then he ran his spear through Lucian's sword arm, pinning it down onto the ground. "Face it my friend. You can not beat me, no one. Not when I have-" Silas fell silent as a pain tore through his abdomen. His eyes went wide and slowly drifted down towards the source of the pain. Two swords. Lucian's and his own. Silas had neutralized Lucian's sword. Silas's own had still been on the floor and evidently too close to Lucian because Lucian had manged to grab it and drive it through Silas's stomach as the viper had been boasting. Silas stumbled backwards slightly and looked over at Nora before entirely falling over.

Nora
"No no no no--" Nora screamed in horror as she watched the fight end in favor of Lucian. It was as if everything had happened in slow motion, at the same time, it almost happened to quickly. The Moments Silas's fell backwards, Nora had never felt herself move so quickly. Running to the viper, she caught his body in his arms before completely hitting the floor. Silas had too much confidence in his abilities, and that was where he weakened himself in battle. "Damnit Silas."
Reaching for both swords, she pulled them from Silas's torso and threw them aside. He bled uncontrollably from his wounds, as she placed her hand over his stomach. Releasing her healing abilities into his body, Nora struggled with her own energy to keep up with healing him, but she would live, he might not.
As her warm magic traveled through his body, he slightly let off a glow.
Looking up from Silas her eyes stared at Lucian. Nora didn't stop healing him, and she wondered when Lucian would step in and force her to stop, or was she next?

Silas Thorn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucian was busy healing himself. With Silas unconscious nothing was preventing Lucian from using his powers and so he could heal himself. Primarily because Nora was around and he was using her healing factor. First Lucian ripped Silas's spear out of his arm and tossed it aside before stumbling away towards his throne. His hamstring was healing but it still hurt to walk. It Nora planned to run, it would be wise to do it while Lucian could not chase.
As for Silas, he awoke with a start as Nora began to heal his wounds. after the immediate jump he relaxed and let his eyes drift over to Lucian. "We need to move now." Silas mumbled. He didn't block Lucian's abilities because that would only draw the King's attention. Silas reached out and grabbed both his sword and his spear before looked at Nora and nodding towards the door. Silas had just been stabbed, he felt far less thrill in the fight. Not to say he wouldn't be bragging later.

Nora
"I've been working on a trick--Let's see if it works." Nora spoke quietly to Silas as she still held onto him. Disappearing, she attempted to transport herself and Silas to the Casino.

Lucian  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What had it been now... five years? Yes, it had been five years of conquest and war. Twists and betrayals that had left Lucian with few loyal generals if any, however Lucian had still won the war. He had butchered Kouen and with Gyokuen dead few stood to math his power. Unfortunately Eleven had also turned on him. The boy had followed his father's path and in Lucian's mind it would end the same way. Lucian would butcher Eleven and feel nothing. He couldn't feel anything anymore. All that he had once felt had been replaced by a desperate blood lust that clawed at the back of his mind all the time. He wanted nothing more than to storm into the Zaibatsu and lay siege to them all. Within the hour he would be able to. As he sat alone in his throne room Lucian's army was preparing. Men and women brainwashed into believing he would cleanse the world with fire all willing to die for him. He had achieved what he came to do. He had created peace, but it had not been enough and now he had divided the world into madness and blood. He felt nothing. Lucian just sat on his throne awaiting his last remaining general's report.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

Vesperia was sitting on the very last step at the bottom of the stairs that crept upwards towards the throne. Her presence was almost forgettable. She was a mere shadow on the wall now. Penny had become something entirely different from what she once was. The woman learned to harden her soul but maintain true to her soul. She had learned everything about life through the exposure to death and loss. Penelope had her eyes opened not to the light but the darkness which trailed within it. It was the darkness of the past five years that revealed to her what resided in the light. The lessons she had learned were what kept her in Valaria when she made the decision to run from battle that day five long years ago.
Vesperia did not bother to look up much nor acknowledge anyone that passed by. The woman had slowly gone mute over the five years and in the past two of them she hadn't so much as laughed. Penelope was once a happy girl that brought both joy and noise wherever she went but with her new identity and sense of self that too disappeared with her child-like nature. Vesperia rarely communicated with anyone these days. If the need to communicate was present she wrote a letter. The time to write a letter had come but this time it was different. Her faded jade colored gaze was slowly glancing from the paper up to the doors at the far end of the throne room and back down. The pen gently drifted along the lines of the paper as she scribed articulated sentences down.
I have hundreds of thousands of words to say. I should have said them sooner. I shouldn't have remained quiet and let them fade so quickly. I believe that if I had let my feelings been known then our strange family would never have shattered the way it did.
Vesperia stared at the words quietly as her pen stopped and hovered over the page for a moment. Her ivory fingers adjusted their positions on the pen as she returned to writing. This note needed to portray so much but Vesperia could only see it properly providing a nugget of insight.
This letter is not about my regrets and instead holds a far different purpose. I wish to thank you for everything. I recognize your efforts to protect me from the darkness in the world. You may not agree and that is alright. We are different people with different experiences. I will be bold enough to say that you still have good left within your soul. Ignore what the world, the traitors, the enemy, and anyone else says on that. I have faith that this world will be forever changed by you in the best of ways. I admire everything you have done. By far you are the most influential person in my life. You set your goals high and you accomplish them no matter how hard or impossible they seem. Your determination is commendable. I've always looked up to you, tried to be like you, and be my own person the way you are. You never follow the crowd and you do what you believe is right. We both know how hard it is to stick with it, but we know it's worth it and if no one else is by our side then we at least have one another. I am fortunate to be able to claim you as a father figure in my life. You were one of two people that did not leave or openly abandon my family. It is almost funny using that word, family. When I was younger that word meant so much but now it is even more important. None of us may be related by blood but I would lay down my life for everyone that was a part of it.
Vesperia set her pen down and reached into her pocket. She dug around for a moment and then pulled the locket Ixio had left her from her pocket. It was aged now and the chain had been broken in a battle several years prior. She stared at it with little expression as her mind sorted through the memories of years that seemed to fly by in an instant. Raijou and Vasuki had left her shortly after she went mute. The girl had distanced herself and hardened her heart to the point the beasts didn't recognize her and left once she cast them out. Vesperia had purposely been isolating herself for a while now. It was not known openly but she fully intended on recreating the world once this one destroyed itself. That would take time and was a task for a questionable future, the present's only task was to write her last thoughts before preparing for the coming battle.
Now that you know where you have stood and continue to stand in my life. I will stand by your side until my last breath. Just tell me where you need me.
Until the end,
Vesperia Vaughn, aka Penny.
The silver-haired woman folded the letter in half and sat there for a moment. She saw Lucian preparing for the war and shook her head. She was overcome with a sense of pointlessness to the battle but it didn't show on her face. The expression she was was monotone. It lacked almost everything except that sense of hope she simply couldn't cast out of her eyes. Her dull green eyes shifted from the letter towards Lucian once more as she stood and walked up to him. She made loud steps purposely so that he would hear her approaching though it was impossible to mask her aether-infused aura. She could easily be sensed by those who were allied to Lucians cause. Once close enough she gave him the letter and crossed her arms waiting for the madness to being and end.

Lucian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucian had moved down from his throne almost exactly when Vesperia began to write. He always took note of her presence but never spoke. She had chosen to be mute and he respected her conviction. As she wrote he began dispatching orders to his generals. They were to rally the men into units. One thousands men per unit. One unit each would attack the surrounding walls of the Zaibatsu. When a unit was struck down two more would take it's place. With the order given the guards set out to begin the march to the Zaibatsu. It was then that Vesperia approached Lucian with her letter. He silently relieved her of the letter and read over it. Something stirred in him as his eyes passed over the words. It was reassuring to know someone believed he had some good left in him, even if they were wrong. Lucian had been a good man, he had been kind and caring, but these days he was little more than the monster everyone wanted to believe he was. Lucian didn't want a throne, or an army. He didn't want this world to survive. He just wanted an end. Something to bring it all to a close. He just wanted to watch the world burn with him in it.
Still Vesperia had grant him a kind gesture and after a few moments of silence between them Lucian did something he had not ever done before. He hugged the girl. He knew he would not be able to do so ever again. He knew this would be his last war. Whether he won or lost, when the Zaibatsu fell there would be no one left to stand in his way. When the zaibatsu fell, the world would be burned to ashes. Lucian had ensured that much. He had the device that had burned his world. A last resort. finally the mad king spoke to the girl who had once been Penny. "Thank you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

Vesperia watched the last of the generals leave as Lucian read the letter that she had written. She knew there was going to be a slaughter the world hadn't seen before. Vesperia shook her head at the thought. The senselessness in it all was necessary in the end. That which is would give way and die to become a new entity. It was something she simply had to accept at this point. Vesperia looked at Lucian once more as he finished reading her letter. She didn't know what she had expected but it certainly was not the hug that she received from him. Ves was confused for a moment but returned the hug. The girl who had once been known as Penny held her breath. The emotions she had long suppressed threatened to return. She didn't want everything to end but it was too late to stop it. No, she would have to simply rebuild after everything was gone. She knew what the future held and was prepared to aid in its arrival no matter how apocalyptic it was.
Lucian continued on to thank her. For what? Vesperia tilted her head faintly in confusion. In her mind the letter only spoke the truth that had to be known and held nothing meant to inspire. Vesperia released Lucian from her hug and patted him on the shoulder twice before gripping it and gesturing towards the door with her head. The intended question of 'Should we get going? was hopefully communicated, but there was still some room for misinterpretation. The girl continued to point back at her sword which was resting on the floor near her previous location and pointed towards herself.'Where would you like me to fight?' She questioned through hand motions and gestures. She needed to focus on the now unless she wanted to risk her monotone expression faltering for even a moment.

Lucian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the hug ended Lucian stepped away from Vesperia to think. He needed a place for her in the army. He had few allies left. It was best that he put the ones he could trust into a position of power. He could no longer trust Dameon. For the last five years the man had been constantly disappearing to speak with his wife and while Lucian did not stop Dameon, he also did not trust him. Lucian was aware that Ivy could manipulate Dameon with ease. The only real reason Lucian had let the two live was so that he could pull them apart. He wanted them to share his pain but no one ever could. no one could share such a pain that engulfed a man entirely and created a monster. A pain that lead a man to destroy worlds.
"Lead my army into battle. Lead the northern striking unit. Breach the walls and burn the city to the ground. Leave none left standing. You can not build a world if any of the old one remains." That was the worse part of this. Lucian understood the child's desires and used them to manipulate her. Perhaps not as flawlessly as he manipulated others but he was twisting her through her wishes. If Lucian succeeded, there would be nothing left to rebuild on. With his orders given Lucian rubbed his hands together and slowly dropped them down to his side. As he did his swords appeared, sheathed next to him. Lucian attached the blades to his belt and looked to the child he had watched grow. "Do what damage you can and then I will do the rest." With that said Lucian walked from the throne room and out into the war.
