Constellation Knights (7/12) (Open)

Phoenix kept her head down and her hands in front of her.
“Alright, as you say Luc” she started to pace deeper into the halls with the documents covering her face.

“Not all of them but most have” he answered.
“Okay, to business—“ a golden and light-looking armor with one side decorated with white paint to represent a fish and the other side was similar but with black paint instead. The helm of the armor had knight’s visor but a mouthpiece which looked like that of a scuba diver.

Pasha couldn't help but stare at the armor, it wasn't exactly his style, but he liked the idea of it. "That's mine? It is a little different to what I was expecting."
In all honesty he wasn't actually expecting anything, but for some reason the words came out from his mouth. He stood up, making his way towards it, inspecting its every angle. "Interesting design, suited for the water I see."

Draco jumped a little when Lata turned around as fast as lightning.
“Oh… uh… sorry” he apologized quickly.
He eyed the armor Lata was wearing.
“Looks good on you actually” he commented, staring at the shining armor while also examining it.

Lata raised a brow at Draco. He was acting different compared to when they had first met. Perhaps it was the new position. She allowed a small smile to play at her lips. "Thank you," she replied. "Please tell me you're not the one I'll have to fight. I still have no idea what I'm doing," she admitted.

“Oh? I’d like to hear what you have to say” Frensa seemed oddly confident even though his clearly addressed that he knew he messed something up.

Cat let her hands drop to her sides and she walked forward to stand in front of him. "I couldn't help but hear the last part of that conversation, and I have to know. Are you seriously going to try and take another kingdom? Because if that is your plan, I may as well join the other side now. Otherwise you'd better have a really really really good reason."

(Cat no, please qwq)

(Same but Cat please don't leaveeeee)

(If he manages to come up with a good enough reason than she'll likely stay. And even if she does decide to switch sides, she has nothing against the other Zodiacs so she's likely to leave them alone. She'll just make this dude's life difficult.)

(Cat can't exactly fight, though. She can hunt, and hit most of her targets, because she's done that her whole life. Not really fighting.)

(Uh… I might need Luc to being moving to somewhere first before I continue with his part)

Syzen smiled at the reaction.
“Indeed, you can try it on if you’d like to, it’s quite light compared to the other armors” he claimed as he gestured to the armor.
There were some things worth noting about the armor; bladed curves that represented fins were on the armor’s arm pads and leg pads, the cape of the armor was a white translucent cloth, and most of the armor’s ‘openings’ had net-like cloth covering them.

Draco sighed.
“Unfortunately, you’ll have to fight me but not now obviously” he claimed.
“If it’s working correctly, the speaker inside should be telling you about the capabilities of the armor right?”

(Congratulations, you have put me in a difficult situation XD)

Ara and Frensa turned to face each other.
“Believe it or not, Qiryu was the one who wanted to take us first. Just last month, if the news system ever reached other kingdoms, Qiryu’s royal group of assassins tried to assassinate our prince. They were close, managing to cut the prince’s cheek. Though back then Indas was the one who saved him. The group of killers escaped before we got anyone of them which was sad. But now… since Qiryu’s princess is in our kingdom, most of us are wanting to return the favor for laying a blade on his royal highness” the General claimed.
“Though with that, comes the fun part. If we have the princess of that kingdom in our hands, it’s easy to control the people there so… the taking over part is just a profit”

(I sorry, but I'm good at that. Find all the problems!)
"Wait so you're planning to murder a princess that is technically your guest here, all because it's payback? What are we three?" Cat flung her arms out and let them go limp at her sides. She wouldn't show it but the room was slightly spinning around her thanks to the butterfly having bitten her. "Oh man, you're more of an idiot than I first thought. Let me explain this in simple terms so your small mind can comprehend. You can't beat up the other kid just because they bumped you. That ain't how this works."

“Yeah? So what is a better way for this to work oh dear teacher? Tell me, I’m all ears right now. Oh and by the way, if you’re going to go the ‘peaceful negotiation’ route, Qiryu’s not willing to do that” Frensa leaned against the table, crossing his arms and paying full attention to Cat and what she has got to say.

"But if you start an all out war than you are less likely to get more help with things. Plus I came to help with a rogue General not help fight an all out war. That is what all of us zodiacs came to help with, because that's what you said we would be doing. Which is what I will do. I will help you deal with this rogue General, assuming I don't decide to switch sides on you, and then I'm out," Cat looked Frensa in the eyes. "You don't seem to understand that I've seen this play out before. And you are headed right down the path that destroyed not one but two different kingdoms within two years."

Frensa eyed Ara once before focusing back to Cat.
“Alright… for now I’ll leave the situation as it is so that you twelve don’t have to get involved in this mess” the General stated as the knight left the room.
“There’ve been rumors going around that one of ours is a spy working for Qiryu… if you can help me find who that might be that’d be fantastic” Frensa added immediately after.
“It can’t be one of the zodiacs, you all aren’t involved in this mess”

“Something wrong?” A well-suited man walked up near where Xara was sitting. He had several books in his hand, not that he was going to sit down and read them, rather he started to arrange them in the shelves.

"I'll consider it, after you call a meeting to explain exactly what is going on. And I mean everything. Not just what is going on with the rogue General," Cat decided after a moment of thinking. "Should you need me again, I will be out on the range practicing. And do me a favor, find someone good to fix the armor. I can not do hardly anything while wearing it."

Frensa nodded.
“I’ll try to find one for ya, might take a while though” he claimed as the door opened on its own.

The man giggled a little as he flipped the books in his hand to arrange them.
“There’re a lot of arguments that take place in the library, most of which I’m the one to take care of” the librarian stated as their badge reflected the sunlight coming through the small window to his side.
“You can call me by two names, I answer to both; Librarian or Reticulum” he said, setting the books down.

Cat turned towards the door half expecting someone to be there. She was also turning to leave, she'd had enough of this man and his less than smart decisions.

Draco sighed.
“Unfortunately, you’ll have to fight me but not now obviously” he claimed.
“If it’s working correctly, the speaker inside should be telling you about the capabilities of the armor right?”

"Exactly the issue! It's telling me what it can do but not how to actually use it," she ranted. Something about dragons and staffs? Lata had no idea where that even came from. All her magic was capable of doing was creating something that wasn't really there. And now she was supposed to be able to fight physically with the guy who brought her here? Not to mention he was experienced by a landslide as well.

The librarian giggled at himself.
“Sorry, I’m just like that” he finished placing the books down on the top shelf and started to arrange the lower one.
“What’re you reading by the way?”

The halls outside Frensa’s meeting room was as silent as can be. Not a single person can be seen, not a sound but the wind can be heard.

Draco sighed and facepalmed himself.
“Alright, I think I can teach you the basics of it since Syzen did tell me that how the powers of the armor are activated are similar to how my magic is activated” he suggested as golden aura surrounded him.

The man turned to Quebec, same vibrating eyes like before.
“The same kingdom you two are from… though I come from the northern forests… anyways… I live nearby here now…” the figure answered, their messy and withered clothing swayed with the wind.

Cat looked up and down the hall in confusion. "Creepy," she muttered as she began heading down the hall towards the out side again. Plag whapped his tail into her face as she walked. "Thank you, I needed your tail in my face." He purred at her annoyed words.

(Sorry, had some irl things to do…)

The librarian nodded as he finished with the arrangement.
“Well I’ll leave you be, if you need me I’ll be—“ an explosion can be heard from outside the palace. The librarian turned immediately towards the deafening sound.

An explosion sound broke the silence in the hallway Cat was in.
“Out there, now!!” A figure called to others as they ran pass the corridor in front of Cat.

A huge yellow and red flame went up near the palace and broke the silence of the forest.
Matthew turned in shock when he spotted the explosion. Turning back to Quebec, he noted the figure between the two was gone without a trace.
“Let’s go” he mouthed as the sound of the wave covered the sound of his.
