2nd Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Action

[uccellodifuoco]

[Fire Luceti! Fire!!!

The forest is burning with flames that reach higher than many of the residents will have ever seen. There's something off in that fire thought, to begin with no animals are trying to escape from it. Another strange thing is the lack of smoke or heat that should accompany such a big fire. Yet the fire is there, as real as everything else, just lacking the normal effects it should have.

For anyone curious enough to check on it they will find they they can walk through the fire without burning or feeling even an inch warmer then before. Unless they come with evil intentions, in which chances are they will at the very least be burned a bit, and the force of the fire will increase as they approach its center. People without evil intentions will be able to waltz through it as if nothing was there, finding animals and vegetation inside the fire totally unharmed, and in what would be the center of the fire, they'll find Ikki, sitting on a rock with his Pandora Box besides him.

Eyes closed as he sits calmly, anyone capable of feeling or being affected even a bit by his Cosmos will probably notice a poke upon approaching and a great concentration in the young man.]

That's what he said too...

[Surprised to hear such words from who seems to be a seasoned warrior, Edward felt at ease now. While Cecil may have stated the same as this man before, the bard always figured that the Prince of Baron was merely showing kindness towards him. It felt good to know that Cecil's words weren't meant to patronize him, but rather to uplift him.]

Ah? I mean this world itself is a fabricated lie, despite being as real as you and I. The Malnosso created this realm, did they not?

[uccellodifuoco]

Whoever that is I agree with him then. Those who would think otherwise don't know much about real wars.

[Ikki hums at that.]

I doubt they did. They may have created the barrier and placed us inside of it but that would seem to be all. That's not to say they can't alter this world, thought, however it doesn't seem they can do anything to it that any other couldn't.

[Perhaps this fellow should have a talk with Kain in the future. That brute certainly seems fond of referring to Edward as 'useless' whenever the topic comes up.]

So you mean to say that world we tread upon is actually real in theory? A novel concept, I actually believed this realm to be crafted by their design alone without the aid of whatever deity that does exist here.

[uccellodifuoco]

From my experience dealing with deities, I wouldn't put it past them that this world is a creation of one of them. And to which they bring people from other worlds since the deities of those won't let them meddle with us in our homelands. Consider it their own private playground, in which those Malnosso may be working for them or not.

[Ikki merely shrugs at the last part, at any rate that they are the ones responsible of them being inside that barrier is pretty much sure. At least as far as he's concerned. And to be fooled or controlled doesn't exclude one from their sins, that's something the Gold Saints knew very well and the reason why so many of them gave up their lives upon realizing that they had been fooled and had been following a fake Pope who had tried to kill their Goddess.]

So the deities of this land could be in league with the Malnosso as well? That certainly is a novel concept on it's own, a frightening one...

[uccellodifuoco]

Not really, just troublesome. A God is a hard enemy to defeat, specially if they have any sort of army one must get through to reach them.

[Notice how he doesn't acknowledge deities as invincible? Yeah, he has seen his share of deities being defeated. And he hopes no one else will have as many warriors as Hades, 108 was a crazy number, until he saw Pandora with the rosary finally having turned all black he had forgotten there was actually an end to the number of warriors Hades had.]

It's not like it matters thought, not until we find the trick behind the barrier at least.
