~+Tales of FFF+~The Role Play

A battle was already taking place within Julius' heart. He rapidly reached the handle of his rapier, blinded by rage and unsheathed it before Zeria and FFGuy.

"So did my brother sent you to end my existence? Is that how you pay me after all this years of friendship? Don't you realize that by distancing myself from you was the only way I could protect you from him? Can't you see that I...."

Julius stopped, as if he realized that he was about to reveal something best left unknown. He didn't knew if what he felt towards Zeria was love or loyalty, and maybe he will never know.

"If you've come to take my life then know this; I will not yield my will and my determination to end your new master's life. On Guard...."


Julius aimed his rapier for the first time without being possessed or controlled by evil spirits. For the first time it was a battle between Zeria and Julius himself; Champion VS Master.
 
FFGuy: shh! we must be quiet, if you can, just stick to the wall without making a sound, if we need to attack, do so on my signal.

FFGuy then flew back to his position over Zeria
 
Zeria slammed her fist to the ground.

"DAMNIT!"

She'd been blinded by false words. Told she could find perfect happiness. It was a lie...her life was a lie....maybe she should just end it.

"I'm not here from Lucious...I came of my own accord. Lord Samael merely followed me here"

She took the mask off and met her gaze with his, her cheeks tear-stained.

"ALL I WANT IS TO BE FORGIVEN! And if I can't..."

She turned away.

"...then I'll end my worthless, useless life..."
 
FFGuy landed in front of Zeria and embraced her

FFGuy: do not cry, tears will not change this turn of events.....I Lo....I forgive you. Julius, if you wish to go through with this I am afraid I will have to stop you, out of my loyalty to you.

FFGuy drew Lightblade and kept it at his side

FFGuy: I do not wish to fight you but I will do what is right
 
Realizing all what's going on, Arthvader entered the room and called out the phoenix. He then drew out his swords and prepared himself for what's to come.

'Why do I suddenly sense evil across this room?'

He then turned his attention to everyone in the room.

Arthvader "STOP, ALL OF YOU! Why do you guys have to fight. If you guys won't stop, then I'll have to stop all of you myself, By force if I have to."
 
FFGuy: calm yourself, hopefully nothing will happen, Zeria is not trying to assasinate lord Julius, she came here for forgiveness and Julius is finding it difficult to cope with this, I am trying to reason with him
 
"Don't...I've already lost this fight...my life has already been deemed worthless. It's clear that...I've lost Julius as well"

Zeria gave a faint, sorrowful laugh.

"Who knows...maybe he is better off with Shenorai..."

She pulled out her Punisher and tossed it, letting it land at Julius' feet. She no longer felt worthy enough to wield it. Letting it go ripped out her heart, because it was one of her most cherished possessions.

"I just want to know one thing...why was I left out? Why wouldn't anyone tell me what was always happening? Why was it that my purpose was just to battle?!"
 
FFGuy: your purpose is for more than battle, when I said that I would not take charge of security I am sure you would be first in his choices, you were his companion, his ally, and since you have gone he has lost his mentality, you never know how important things are until you lose them.

FFGuy stroked Zeria's hair, her face was red through all the tears that had been shed, all the sorrow she had felt and the time away, short it may have been had definately destroyed the two once proud warriors.
 
Hearing most of what had happened in the room. Lord Samael appearers from the dark corner of Julius's room. Then looks over at FFGuy

"Release her you pathetic being."

He then looks down at Zeria. "Zeria I have not lied to you. Look at Julius....he is being twisted by his own power. Evil is slipping into his heart. And for your so called friends here.....They just want you to be a happy little drone and go and fight for them. I am not asking any of this on you. I just want you to be happy......with me.

"Please come with Zeria."
As his hand once more stretched out toward her.
 
FFGuy beared his free arm which held lightblade at the man

FFGuy: get back you monster! if not for you none of this would have happened! go and crawl back to your master you wretched vermin and if you so speak of happiness then why is so many tears being shed and so much sorrow in the air?
 
Connecting eyes with FFGuy and saying in a confident and Judgmental way.

"I am not the cause of this sorrow. You people are."

Returning his gaze to Zeria.

"Zeria see how they try and force you to do what they want. They threaten you with death, they threaten you with exile. I give you the option. Stay with them and continue fighting and end up dieing, or come with me and be happy and help Master Lucius create a world where there is no need for war, violence, or hate.....Please Zeria Come with me."
 
Zeria clutched her head and tears fell to the floor.

"STOP IT! IT'S USELESS TO FIGHT OVER ME! I'M NOT WORTH IT!"

She threw the mask across the room.

"I've had enough...I should just end this fighting now..."

She slid a black dagger engraved with a silver "Z" from her dress. It was a brilliant custom blade, so sharp that it would cut the instant it touched something.

"I can't take it anymore..."
 
FFGuy: No!

FFGuy reached out and grabbed the knife, trying to pull it away from Zeria, stopping her from making a foolish mistake.

FFGuy: don't do this! your life has so much meaning, don't throw it away over nothing! You have so much to live for!

FFGuy made contact with Zeria's eyes and sensed an air of hope which he in turn hoped would stop her from using the knife.

FFGuy: you have much to live for.... make your choice but make it the right one....
 
In a instant Lord Samael dash over to Zeria knocking FFguy away from her, takes a hold of her wrist and begins to embrace her.
"Zeria....I can let you do this. The perfect world I had envisioned for myself included you. If you die then my perfect world will die along with you."

Lord Samael then pulls back from Zeria places his hand under her chin and looks deep within her eyes.

"I love you......Zeria"
 
FFGuy: you impure beast!

FFGuy walks over to the man and kicks him square in the jaw

FFGuy: be glad I have not cut out your tongue you wretched beast! and stop stalking Zeria, before you came along she would not pay suicide a second thought, you have turned a brave woman into a crying wretch! how dare you turn one of my allies into something less than life! my blade will cut you down from where you stand!

FFGuy draws Darkblade to meet Lightblade and prepares to fight.
 
Zeria pulled away and went to the other side of the room.

"No...you didn't tell me you were with Lucious! I hate him! Don't you see what he does to Julius?!"

She was angry now.

"If I weren't keeping myself in check, and if Julius wasn't here, I would release the demon within me who has waited for time of release!"

Zeria was shaking now, unsure of what to do next. She was on the floor, still crying, but filled with rage.

"There is only one person I love, and it isn't you! It's Julius!"

She froze and covered her mouth. She hadn't wanted to say that with Julius right in the room....
 
FFGuy at first looked shocked but then lowered his head....

FFGuy: Zeria..... lets get him!

FFGuy went into an offensive stance and prepared to charge
 
Looking at the ground and reeling from both FFGuy kick and Zeria's confession, Samaels hair covered half of his face and he had the look like someone had stolen his heart.

"I.....I.....I don't know what to say.I thought I was giving you everything you wanted. Happiness, a purpose, and no longer having to fight "
 
FFGuy: you are twisted, there is no peace if you side with darkness, only endless pain, misery and suffering, while you live we cannot rest so surrender or meet my blade!
 
"I am nobody's...I am my own being! My heart faithfully remains with Julius...there it will always remain. If I'd known...if only I'd known you were a servant of that bastard Lucious, I'D NEVER HAVE BELIEVED YOUR LIES!"

She was shaking hard now, fighting the urge to strike him down then and there. The demon within her was really pushing to take over. She didn't know how much longer she could resist it...
