=== Ra'thra's Arrival ===
Ra’thra: Ra'thra sulked around the continent for awhile. So far everything has fallen exactly into place. This made him grin to the point that the skin started to rip. He had gotten word that a deal was made. But he wanted to wait that one out a bit, let the fear set in. So, for now, his gaze turned south to where he was. He knew very well that his presence wouldn't be received well due to what happened last time, but it was all part of his plan. Ra'thra walked towards Haven to meet with someone.
Aurelius: Aurelius stands on the outskirts of Haven proper, woodcutting axe in hand, chopping down trees to finish the flooring for one of Haven's newest developments. The sun, beating down upon his brow, revealed a figure in the distance. The ripply waves of sunlight illuminated that of a figure in which Aurelius grew to disdain - Ra'thra. As the figure got closer, Aurelius gripped the axe tighter.
Ra’thra: Ra'thra walked towards the city. He had made it after a long walk but didn’t seem to be tired, probably because his body is nothing more than a rotting corpse. I Noticed Aurelius and smiled. "Ah, if it isn’t my favourite beam of corrupted purity!" Ra'thra teased. He walked closer to him. Showing no signs of hesitation.
Aurelius: Aurelius plants his feet where he's standing, making zero attempts to back away. "Funny." he says, sneeringly. "What is it you're doing here? Back to throw another curse my way?"
Ra’thra: Ra'thra continues to advance, "That's none of your concern. Now step aside before I need to find a new owner for that curse of yours." A large smile crossed his face. Ra'thra continues to advance, "That's none of your concern. Now step aside before I need to find a new owner for that curse of yours." A large smile crossed his face.
Aurelius: Aurelius moves toward Ra'thra, raising the "woodcutting axe" now revealed to be the Fury of Aurelius. "I've told you time and time again, after what you have done to me and my people, you are no longer welcome in Haven's territory. Explain yourself or crumble to ash!" he shouts.
Ra’thra: Ra'thra continues to advance, "Really? After everything I have done to you, and what I am capable of doing. You really think you can scare me off with your fancy axe and loud words?" Ra'thra readied himself for a counter attack.
Aurelius: Aurelius chuckles. "I've never been afraid of you. Be met with fury!" he yells, striking Ra'thra in the shoulder with his axe, cutting deep.
Ra’thra: Ra'thra clearly didn’t anticipate the speed at which Aurelius came at him. The hit causes him burns around the wound and him to be knocked back. But he quickly got back onto his feet. "Fine then.."
He summoned his sword, the Virtus carnis, which grew out from his hand and stood ready. Two large tendrils appeared at his sides and easily towered above them both. "Come at me!" One of the tendrils slammed towards Aurelius with speed.
Aurelius: The force of the tendril striking Aurelius was enough to knock him to his feet, shaking the axe loose from his hands.Aurelius quickly grabbed his axe, still shaken, and attempted to rise to his feet. "Those are new!" he shouts, running back toward Ra'thra.
Ra’thra: The other tendril attacked Aurelius' flank. "You thought you got rid of those seeds? Please, they practically replaced the foundation of most of your city by now!" He readied his sword if the attack failedAurelius: Aurelius ignores Ra'thra's taunts and strikes the tendril, burning it and sending it flailing backwards, but it quickly comes back at him and snaps at his leg. He draws back, avoiding the tendril, while the other tendril smacks his face. After regaining his footing, he strikes the nearest tendril, severing part of the tip.
Ra’thra: Both the tendrils stop the attack for a second and Ra'thra looks down at Aurelius seeing how he was injured. "I told you not to try. But look at you, so weak and pathetic. If you weren’t so vital to my plan I would kill you right on the spot." Ra'thra taunted.
Aurelius: Aurelius shoots up from the ground, rushing towards Ra'thra and grabbing his throat. He slams him to the ground. "WEAK?!" he screams. "PLAN?!" he yells, applying pressure to Ra'thra's neck, nearly strangling him. As the suspicious figure begins to speak, Aurelius loosens his grip.
Ra’thra: Ra'thra laughed. "Now he shows his true colours!" One of the tendrils wrapped around Aurelius and pulled him away.
Aurelius: Aurelius, flailing in the air, shouts at the top of his lungs. "Get your damn tentacle things off of me!" The tentacles raise Aurelius into the air, and throw him to the ground.
Ra’thra: Ra'thra laughed as he got up. "Foolish." He taunted "Foolish Aurelius. At this rate I might as well narrow down your people, seeing how you’re a weak leader"
Aurelius: Aurelius grits his teeth. "This city has thrived due to my people's efforts. My nation thrives due to the efforts of many. I am nothing but a guide in the right direction. How can I be considered foolish when your words, being so untrue, really paint you as the fool?" he says, gripping his left knee.
Ra’thra: Ra'thra walked towards Aurelius. One of the tendrils trapped around his neck. "That's because they don't see you as who you are. But now look at you, no longer the purity of Haven. You’re becoming a dark cloud that casts a shadow over your nation. And eventually it will come to light. Sure, you may have done good thus far but how long will it last?" Ra'thra continued to taunt Aurelius.
Aurelius: Aurelius, still ensnared by Ra'thra's tendrils, looks past him and shouts: "Baaki, do it now!"
Baaki: Unbeknownst to Ra'thra, this whole time Baaki had been sneaking up behind him with a shovel, and clubbed him on Aurelius' que. He slumped over and the two tied him up quickly, in hopes of bringing him to Lucius at the Hospitolium. "Next time lets not let it get so close friend, alright?"
Llull: Llull approaches from the forest looking over at the degraded body now being tied up. Ari trots behind him, as the two follow their fellow Lydoneians to go explore Havens Hospitolium with their new captive. Llull feels the energy flowing through his arms ready to strike at the slightest misstep of the prisoner.
Aurelius: "You're right, Baaki." Aurelius dumps out his cart meant for transporting wood and motions to Baaki and Llull to help him load Ra'thra's unconscious body onto it. "This is, what, the third time now? Lucius likely has answers we still need to figure out how to get rid of this thing once and for all." Aurelius' joints ache as he begins to push the cart towards the Hospitolium.
Baaki: Baaki notices Aurelius's pain and asks "Do you need any potions or medicine to help with that friend?"
Aurelius: Aurelius smiles to his friend, in a thankful but concerned way, and speaks: "Baaki... this pain isn't ordinary." He loosens his grip on the handles of the cart and stops moving forward. He lifts part of his instantly recognizable apparel and reveals his knee is colored and textured like that of basalt.
Llull: The small fox leaves Llull's side and walks up to the statue like man. Ari looks at the now exposed colored knee and then looks up at Aurelius showing concerned for the plagued man. Llull looks over at Baaki, "I don't know what this is, do you know what you're doing?"
Baaki: "I- I know very little of true medicine, and this is well beyond the small amount of knowledge I have. Perhaps friend Lucius might know, but I most certainly do not." Baaki responds with a worried look on his face.
Aurelius: Aurelius nods. "Off we go, then." Aurelius gives Ari a smirk and a pet on the head, and leads his friends to the Capitolium, in hopes of finding Lucius.
