The World Tree - The Gathering of Old Friends

[Sexy_Lemur_King]

It was hard for Yuan to keep his resolves when Kratos was smiling at him. But he shook his head and put a hand on his friend's shoulder, to emphasize what he was about to say. "Kratos, I know firsthand just how strong you are. I know you can take care of yourself." He looked away. "But the point is that we don't know how strong all the other people out there are." His face grew dark and he drew near enough that the other seraphim would be able to feel his breath on his neck. "I'm not positively sure about this but... I could've sworn I saw the Tower of Salvation out there.""


Martel frowned. It's because Yuan doesn't pay attention to her that she has to resort to fapping and being invaded by Rodyle's mana cannon. She too had a Cruxis Crystal, so she heard what her fiance had whispered to the older man. If the Tower of Salvation was out there... no, she didn't want to think of that possibility. Besides, Mithos was the tree right before them, there was no way he could be in two places at once.


Botta sat there with a blank expression on his face as he was the only one out of the group who didn't possess a cruxis crystal. Yuan wouldn't let him because he said that fugly people didn't deserve to be angels he didn't want to expose him to the consequences and the damnation that came along with it.

"Hm?" Kratos leaned forward, "Are you to tell me that it's not just the Yggdrasil Tree that has come here!? Maybe we should go to the Tower of Salvation...it might give us more clues about this new world."

The bluenette inhaled deeply as he thought about it, the scent of herbal essence Kratos' hair wafting into his nose. He shook his head and sat back. "I'm not so sure...Kratos." He bit his lip. "What if we were wrong about this tree? That means that he could be up there in that Tower."

He let his head drop down, hair covering his eyes. "I've grown soft over these past years, Kratos not that I wasn't weak to begin with and Mithos has always been the strongest. Who know what he would do when he sees me? He never liked me... And I really can't afford a repeat of what happened in front of Altessa's house"


Martel had turned her attention to chatting with Botta. Anything to block Yuan and Kratos' conversation from her ears. The fake goddess was in a state of denial, and would like to hold on to the belief that her younger brother would be causing no more damage anymore, if just for a while longer. 1.9.0.8

"You're right, Mithos would probably kick you in the balls until I'd have to press the A button to move on. Funnily enough, I'd let you sit there for days :3." "Well then there's more reason to go Yuan, if Mithos is indeed up there." He looked downward, "If you don't want to go, you don't have to...but I'm going." He looked over to Martel, "You should come too. If he is back, then I'm gonna need your help explaining things to him."

"It's because of people like you that I have no childrenTch, don't decide things for yourself." Yuan scoffed. "If you're going, then there's no way in hell that I'm going to stay back here and do absolutely nothing." He stood up, brushing his pants off a little. He turned his back to the human, cheeks heating up a bit before he said, "But...just so you know. I'm counting on you to save my ass if things get too dangerous." Oh Yuan, you're such a tsundere**


"Oh, um... I'm not so sure about that." She replied to Kratos hesitantly. "But if you and Yuan are going, there should be someone staying behind to watch the tree. I think I'll do that." Martel knew that she would be letting them down, but for once she'd like to put her own personal interests before her friends'.


"Sir," Botta called out, to gain his leader's attention. "What would you like me to do?"


"STFU FUGLY! Can't you see I'm trying to have a moment with Kratos?! GAWSH D"X Hmmm. I want you to sit there, for now." He said, waving Botta off. He didn't have time to deal with his sidekick.

((**Tsundere -
1: being on the surface sharp and sarcastic (tsuntsun) but underneath lovestruck and fawning (deredere); characteristic of a gap between acted out actions and feelings in mind;
2: normally being sharp but at some prompt suddenly becoming lovestruck; hot-cold personality type
3: A girl [or boy] who acts like she [or he] hates you, but secretly wants your cock. ))1.9.0.8

Kratos looked at Martel, "I can't make you go, but things would be alot easier if you were there. Something tells me Mithos wouldn't believe me if I told him you were alive." He looked out toward the exit, "Yuan and I are leaving now. You two can make up your decisions, but please do so before we leave. I don't want to have to hear that you ended up leaving on your own and getting in to trouble."

The renegade waved off Kratos last statement. "Nah, it's best if you two don't come. We don't know for sure what we'd find there. I think it would be best if we went first to assess the situation and plan our course of action from there." Yuan stated, trying to make himself sound smart and like he knew what he was doing so that Botta and his fiance would listen to him and stay behind. He really didn't care much for them at the moment, he just wanted some more alone time with Kratos.


"As you wish sir..." Botta would've stayed regardless of what Kratos had said, for Yuan had already ordered him to stay.


"Yeah...you two do that. We'll both be fine here." Martel smiled reassuringly. "Just don't forget to come back and tell us what you find!"


"Yeah yeah yeah." Yuan stated as he stealthily crept closer to Kratos. "Come on, let's go."

Kratos smiled at Yuan since he was so eager to get on the road. "Indeed." He waved goodbye to Martel and Botta before turning around and walking off and out of the area.
