Deva's Servant (Gran-Chan)

It had been a few days of clearing this or that up and preparing, but finally Oki thought it was ready for the task it had for itself. For the first time ever, it traveled to a location unknown to it and stood before a rift that led to the other side of said location. Oki was alone as it stood quietly on the sands of an empty classroom. It had never attended school before, but….it didn’t seem like it mattered. The gates were open and people lingered about. No one stopped it when it came in and for the most part it was allowed to move through the halls as some students talked and janitors worked double time to get the neverending blanket of sand out of the place.

The place was still warm, but according to what was heard, the temperature of this school was much better than before. It supposed Sharaku and his friends were the ones to thank for that. After all, they had come here and stopped an issue on the other side. Perhaps if they had not done that, then this task would’ve been tougher, but alas at least getting to where it needed to be was a piece of cake.

The true challenge would happen when it crossed the boarders and stepped foot in the world of cracked red and black earth. The other world was damaged and hurting…and while Oki had no clue what may occur to it after it had done what it came to do, it knew there was no turning back now.

Bracing itself for whatever was to come, Oki stepped forward and entered the rift to the other side. The world around it would rush by in a blur until it found itself standing within a strange structure much different from the rest of the world and soaked with a strange aura that Oki could only assume was angel somewhere within.

Looking around Oki would move further into this strange place. It would walk further and further in until finally it stood in front of the place where the strange aura radiated from. Staying a respectful distance from the place, Oki would bow to the presence there with respect as it spoke.

“Israfel, angel of Alt. Zela, my name is Oki Akumura. I come before you requesting a few moments of your time to learn what I can from you before judgment comes. Will you grant me this simple request?” Oki said its voice calm and humbled as it stated its reason for being there. From there it wait to see just what sort of angel this was. Was this an angel to be destroyed…or saved to help goddess’s wish come true? Time would tell.

Action:

As Oki stood a safe distance from the one it addressed, it would look up at the blonde taking note that just like goddess he was human like in appearance and even though Shaku had said he was once a monster he seemed normal now. Even if his land was crumbling at the moment, the angel seemed to have an air of confidence in spite of the situation. His charming smirk and words were proof enough of that, but then said confidence seem to shift to surprise as he observed Oki some more.

Meeting the angel’s gaze evenly, the being would nod.

“Yes to both your assumptions of what I am and why I am here; however, I do not see a fight worth it if we can simply come to agreements instead. So I have come alone to see what I can learn of this war and why it is we seemingly have to destroy those of different mindsets. I found it better to perform such a task one-on-one to keep this conversation to the point. In any case, it almost seems that by playing by the rules without question, one is spilling blood for reasonless purposes and power, so why do that? Would it not be wiser to seek understanding and band together instead for what we seek?” Oki began as it watched the other carefully. It took notice of the stance and was well aware of the fact that coming before an angel alone was indeed foolish and dangerous, but better to test its theory alone than get others harmed in the process.

If there was really no way out of this killing deal, well then the being would have to do what it had to do, but first it had to at least try to find a different path.

A light chuckle from the other caused the being before it tilt its head curiously. What was so funny about what it had said? Elegant eyebrows would furrow as a perplex frown appeared upon Oki’s face, but then that look was turning into one of mild surprise. So there was another way for this to work out….The being let that sink in as it studied the other with a new light.

“I do not mean to be barbaric or anything of that sort. In fact…that is the last tool I’d want to use in this situation and it is the reason I have come here to talk rather than fight; however, from what I’ve been hearing death seemed like the only path left open to how was it put…?...'gain an angel’s power to gain your own angel’s Wish’. That certainly sounded like destroy the angels sort of talk, but perhaps that translation was wrong. You say you don’t want to kill and yet you expect fighting. What is your Wish and if not to make others submit to it, what are these challenges for?”

Oki would say its words leaving itself open to anything like a child simply trying to understand this complex systems the adults seemed to have. While its words may have seemed foolish, one look into those green orbs would tell the angel that the being was indeed looking for another way in this strange struggle…one that did not have to result in deaths of any sort. Oki was willing to negotiate and reason with this angel as long as it was not going to harm goddess.

Oki listened to the words taking them in carefully as it finally understood the rules of this tricky game. While some assumed that this whole beat the angel thing was to kill the angel, in the end they were fighting to knock an angel’s Wish away….

“So when your Wish is push asided by another, what happens to you then?” Oki asked curious about any consequences that may occur if it should indeed take up the challenge and fight the one before it. It was concerned about the world, but to be honest also what happened to the angel. It was a small curiosity that probably wouldn’t matter in the long run, but….Oki being Oki had to know. As it was waiting for an answer, it saw the grimance the other made and instinctively took one step closer as a concerned look crossed its face. Enemies or not Oki still had a heart to care a bit even for the enemy when it was stable as it happened to be today.

Without even asking, Oki heard the words the other spoke. An…angel had died due to corruption?

“Teshub…was that the angel’s name? Did the angel fall because no one could stop the corruption? And now what happens to them and their world?” Oki asked truly bothered by this subject. It knew Thesis and Ananke were out there trying to destroy everything, but if they had won this time…then…what would stop them from winning again? Did they truly not have allies to help with this? Oki would remain quiet for a moment watching the angel before it carefully as he went through the emotions before putting on a strong face once more.

Heh…that was pretty amazing. Despite being some form of supernatural being, at times like this he still seemed human. In any case that moment passed as the subject at hand came back to the forefront. As Oki heard the Angel’s Wish, Oki pondered what he said before speaking.

“You are right. I do line up with your sister when it comes to peace and letting the emotion show; however, I can also see your point. I can see order in a world of peace where everyone worked to help each other, but I cannot see weak serving the strong. It’s more like a community where everyone has a purpose, but no one is greater or less than another. Harmony,” Oki said as it closed its eyes for a moment.

A small smile would cross face as it reopened its eyes and looked at the angel before it.

“Neh, Israfel? Are you willing to lend some of your power to build the new world if I beat ya? I can’t have you be the ruler, but perhaps we can work together in a fashion?” the being asked feeling less tense than before as it gave the angel an non-hostile look. the being geniune with its deal.

It understood what it needed to do and so it would do it in order to help Deva’s Wish come true; however, if the angel could still be of use despite these differences then why not offer it some part in this new world to be created?

Note :

“The mother, huh? I’ve heard her mentioned before, so it makes us curious what she is like,” Oki said as it placed its index finger on its lip in thought for a moment and then seeing the change in emotions within the angel, Oki leveled its eyes back with the other. As it heard his words, the being looked down at the ground with a frown. The world of the fallen angel was safe for now, but could not recover from the damage done there and if the Primordials attacked again?

“I see…” Oki said in soft tones that suggested it was in some way mourning the loss of the angel it did not meet. The loss was sad. Even sadder than thinking of the angels fading into another being if beaten. At least if they faded into another, they would be somewhere safe right? Not gone…forever….and there world left to suffer. Oki pondered this a bit more before shaking its head to clear it. It could not afford to linger on that too long. It had a job to do…

When the angel spoke on Harmony, Oki tilted its head lightly at the words said. He said that the ideas Oki and Deva had were frail and would in the end go back to chaos. He said the Wish wouldn’t change anything….

“But wouldn’t that result come out of any Wish? You say you want a system, but what stopping humans from doing the exact same thing to the system once they are comfortable with it? Don’t you see? That is why one wish needs the help of another. To fix the holes within and make the single wish stronger and even more lasting,” Oki said giving the angel the chance to think on that for a moment. After a few minutes, Oki would give the angel a soft smile before speaking again.

“So you see, that is my real Reason and the reason I stand with Deva and challenge you now.”

It didn’t know if the angel understood what it was saying, but maybe by the end of the fight they could come to an understanding. Even if Oki could not sway him to agree and just surrender, perhaps by the end he would understand why it suggested adding his power to Deva’s cause. Only time would tell.

Information:

“No middle ground huh? That is really too bad then,” Oki said to the other remaining open and friendly still. It wasn’t that the being wasn’t serious about the situation. No it understood what it had done; however, it held no true hate towards this creature, so it saw no need for harshness.

When the other attacked, Oki felt the pain of the wing-like hair stabbing through it and making it double over despite no wounds being shown. As the angel spoke, Oki managed to stand despite lingering pain.

“The heart may be weak, but it is a lot more powerful than you give it credit for. When other things fail it is the Heart that gives us hope and the power to go on even in the most dire of circumstances. It is the core that strengthens all other aspects of humans. Thus I can follow what only seems like a "pipe dream". There is hope for something better grow from it. Humanity will not fall so easily.”

Oki would point its finger at the angel as a blue arua stained pink surrounded Peresphone. The floor would freeze a bit as the temperature dropped and the ninetailed fox unleashed her power upon the angel.

Information:

So the angel was strong against ice. Impressive, but then again Oki did not expect anything less from an angel. It knew these beings were powerful from the get go, but still it had challenged this one on its own. When it heard his words, the being could feel the cut of the words, but managed to hold on despite that.

“While mastery is nice sometimes letting things simply run their course is the best way. Without a grip, the potential of where and how the thing can grow is infinite. Control holds things back when applied too greatly and nothing living likes that. It rebels and fights back with all its might to find the balance that is lost when absolute control applied. I may be weak, but I am too stubborn to give up even if the odds are against me. It is this persistence and the belief in my goddess that will help me overcome you. I will push forward to help Humanity to a better future,” Oki said to the other as it hopped back. As it did this, Persephone moved before it.  She would slap the ground with her tail causing it to rumble  and shake before shooting up to hit the angel.

It was true Oki had come to this angel alone, but with the way things were it was currently alone in this battle. It did not expect anyone it had met to agree with its method of handling the situation. No…too many were trying to do things their own way. It knew whatever battle this was could not be won alone,  but for now it would have to start the battle alone and pray its desire to protect those closest to it would be the added strength needed to push forward.. Win or lose….Oki was prepared for the consequences of its actions. It would not give up so easily.

Information:

Oki saw the blow hit and the angel absorb the damage. When the angel summoned his own version of a physical attack, Oki took the blow, but remained standing despite the fact it should be showing signs of pain or at least be grounded at this point; however, it showed none of these signs its body unable to register physical pain. The being simply remained lowered in a low fighting stance that suggested fatigue, but nothing more. Persephone would wrap her tails around Oki unleashing a healing aura before she resumed her fighting stance and watching the angel with a serious expression etched on her mask. In an instance, Oki seemed to gain some of its strength back, its serious expression turning into a light smirk as it looked at the angel before it. Not bad. Not bad at all. This was indeed a struggle, but then again Oki would have it no other way. Despite the odds and not particularly liking violence it found itself liking this fight. Perhaps the respect thing had something to do with this. Who knew when it came to the unpredictable being?

“You are right. We hardly have any support at all, but we still fight for that hope. Hope that we can inspire more to come to aid this Wish. Until then, we gotta keep on trucking forward alone no matter how tough or silly the idea is.”
