R nodded at sapphire as he released her from his arms. "Go to him. One day, he will be important. He will shape the face of history. Ensure he walks the right path. And above all else, keep him safe."
He stroked her hair gently, trying to comfort her as he did when she was upset. "Sapphire, i am always with you. You are never alone as long as you stay on this world."
R wrapped his arms around the woman crying into his chest and held her close. His son...he was right. He would be doomed to a life of solitude. Ever feared by the people because of his power. However, it was what he chose to do with the life which mattered. Not all would fear him. Some may love him, others will hate him. In the end, it was up to him to decide how he would use that power. He wouldn't remain on this world forever, and it when he left, his parents would no longer be able to guide him.
Zavion backed away. "My father is the world? It...it's not fair...i was different enough already. I'm only a kid, and people already fear me! Now this? What will it be like when i'm grown and develope my full powers?" He said. Normally, he held his fears in, but this was too much. Of course he had noticed his mother was immortal, but he had always assumed that was from her own power. And now he discovered that he too had it. So...he was destined to live forever as an outcast. He turned, from R and ran back to the castle, tears in his eyes.
Zavion was confused as to exactly what was happening. This was where his father could be found? He held his breath in anticipation as Sapphire pushed open the doors. Inside was a massive core. He knew straight away what it was...It was a heart. The heart of their world. It dawned on him what she meant when a man materialized in front of them. "Hello, my son."
Spoiler: Music "You misjudge me. I have never sought any throne. These hands are caked with too much blood to ever reside over any subjects" R said to him while making his move. The guardian came and defended its master just as he had expected. It left itself wide open and immune to any form of damage, taking the would-be injuries for Ansem. The katana, the moment it came into contact with the guardian, it transformed into a scythe, its blade impaling the guardian. While the injury wouldn't hurt it, it did give him a grip on it. He leaped back, tearing the guardian away from Ansem. "Gexln, occupy him momentarily." He said, defending against the Dark thundaga with the guardian's body. "If blood will be spilt by my hands, then it will have meaning. I will create a world where none like me need exist." He leaped into the air over the center of the platform. "If such a world and i cannot coexist, so be it. But as there is no place for me, neither is there for you father!" The scythe compressed into a small core inside the guardian's body, from which chains shot in multiple directions, going through various corridors of darkness and winding back around the shadowy creature, suspending it in the air. Since these chains ran through the dark pathways themselves, one couldn't be used to escape the hold.
What? Follow her? You mean he was here? In the castle? He stood immediately and chased after her. Thoughts of his father raced through his mind, what was going on? He followed closely behind his mother, awaiting their arrival.
Zavion knew his questions were making her uncomfortable, but he needed to know. This was important to him. But...what if it turned out he didn't want to know? It wouldn't surprise him if his father had been dead. It would've explained why he wasn't around, but she said he was alive...What did she mean by in a sense though? Had he walked out on them? No...From the way she described him, he would never do that. "Mom, i'm old enough. I want to know what happened." The boy demanded of his mother.
The way she described him, he was an amazing man. It was clear that she loved him very much. He wanted to know more. She never spoke about hm and he might not get another opportunity. "What was his name? What happened to him? Is he alive?"
Zavion was surprised. She brought up his father. She never talked about him, and when he asked, she tended to avoid the subject, looking almost nervous. He sat on the bench and looked at her with a curious face. "Really? Dad saved you? What was he like?" He asked, eager to know.
"A normal life huh..." It was more of a rhetorical statement which i think is a thing than anything. He mused on that thought as he returned home to the castle. It was a grand building with a beautiful garden in the courtyard. But...it was so empty all the time. There was hardly ever anyone there besides him and his mother. Being here honestly made him feel a bit lonely when he wasn't in the comfort of Sapphire's arms.
R glared at Ansem as he landed. "The only reason i'm here is to separate you. As we speak, i unweave you from the girl's heart. You so deperately cling to this girl's life in a sad attempting at prolonging your own. Well 'father'" He said the word with obvious contempt, as though it were an insult. "I will prove to you that you cannot linger in existence for eternity. I will separate you from this girl, and i will unmake you!" R threatened. No longer hindered by the injuries his physical body had sustained, he lunged at Ansem with a katana in hand. A swift upper slash was the attack which started off the battle. R was prepared for Ansem's guardian, which would inevitably try to intercept the attack. "Caleb, set me down. I can walk." Satsujin insisted. He thought about what his friend had just said. It wasn't about victory, it was about fighting for what was right. Defending those who couldn't defend themselves...Would his family have counted in that against the might of R? He looked over at the commotion in the direction they were headed. R was now attacking the girl who had defeated him. However, she was different. He didn't know what had happened, but it was obvious that she was not the same as when they fought. R was in an extremely vulnerable state...It would be so easy...To walk over, and end it with one swing of his sword...
R was swift in his reaction to Ansem's strike. He stepped between the path of the scythe and raised a shield of darkness to parry it. Without a moment's hesitation, he plunged his hand into the being's chest. The wound wasn't physical, more on a spiritual level. "Dark Siphon, delusional heartbeat." The process of extracting those who had melded their hearts began, but the danger was damaging the host. Nevertheless, it was a better option than fighting her in physical form. With the power of the eternity stone, he doubted all of them together could win in their condition. His body was strained, but in this battlefield, his body wouldn't hold him back. As the extraction began, he felt ansem begin to resist. As this kicked in, he manifested the struggle within Xero's dive to the heart. Beuce could feel his ribs likely broken, so he decided to cast cure on himself to make it so he was less...you know, dying. Still hurt quite a bit, just wasn't anything THAT serious. He looked at eon, preparing to fight Ansem. The light of judgement came into his mind. Man, it wasn't even morning yet and he still felt that. Still, he could probably help from a distance with Gungnir. That was a handy thing to have. He was okay with helping from the sidelines. He could fit just about any role. In fact, he once applied to the league of legends! No joke. In his spotlight he was described as a high mobility support jungling mid melee adc caster adept at harass, burst damage, and breaking the fourth wall. Needless to say, he quickly withdrew for fear of the almighty SOK nerfing him into the ground from a different media. The eyes of the assassin fluttered open for the first time in a while. He felt as though his face had been torn apart, which wasn't too far off. He wasn't sure what exactly had happened. All he knew was that he had been defeated, and carrying him was an exhausted and beaten looking Caleb. His expression told a tale of guilt. He didn't know why he looked this way or what was happening, but Satsujin felt he had failed Caleb. "Caleb, I...I'm sorry. I wasn't able to win for you."
Zavian sighed. Being his mother's son, he too had the gift of clairvoyance, although he was nowhere near as powerful as his mother in the art of its practice. He saw her worried frown and tried to reassure her that he didn't mind and wasn't upset. "don't worry about it mother. You can't force them to be friends with me. It doesn't matter to me." He said, knowing that she would be able to hear him. To most, it would seem as though he was talking to himself. Thankfully there was no on around.
Zavion was outside in the outskirts of the town, he could see other children playing with a small red ball and laughing. Inside each of their chests was a bright light. Their hearts. One slipped up and dropped the ball, which bounced toward Zavion. He bent over and picked it up. Raising his heads. Every one of the lights had dimmed. Overshadowed by an uneasy fear. His expression turned into a frown as he handed the ball back to them and walked away, hearing whispers about him from the group of children at his back.
Due to that being pretty much the end of that scene. time skip to...uh...whenever.
R was tempted to say "because it makes for a good plot" or "because i'm R and therefore automatically know everything" but didn't want a rehash of the abridged sounding speech. "The darkness is always with you. It is your fate."
R being the godmoddy little **** he is, realized how abridged that sounded. So he erased any record of that happening and replaced it with something extremely awesome and dramatic which Rienzel could not be bothered to write. R wrapped his arm around sapphire, and being R he automatically knew everything. "Sapphire, you carry with you a child. The son of your kingdom"
"Sapphire, you know that saying people use '**** the world?'" R began "I believe you have just taken that to extremes."
R: *puts her onto a bed of darkness, yes, a bed of darkness. when conveniently enough for censoring purposes, it becomes extremely steamy and blurs it from the veiwer's eyes.* Beuce: *narrating* i love this job
