Chapter 5; Our Chariot Awaits...

First topic message reminder :

Descending from a great cosmic Myst (known as the Enigmas), hovering down on one of the segments of Manor Alexandros, which seemed to be the size of a full Airship, were Tymon and Tsuki, the new True Lovers. Atop the newly installed component of the Manor, they could take vacations in their 'home away from home' sort of flying craft. It was linked to the Manor so it gave the same sort of holy protection.


It was a good thing that it was left behind by his brother so it could be used for something. Combining it with the Prima Vista made for quite the establishment. And there would be helpful friendly golems inside! What fun! Perhaps he'd have it become an estate in the Empyrean Isles as one of the floating islands.

They would be lowered into the place that he remembered to create specifically for the two of them; something he'd been DYING to show her throughout the entirety of this entire ordeal. "Mitte mitte, Tsuki-chan! Sugoi, ne~?" He smiled wide, pointing down to all of the sparkling shimmering flowers that shone like mirrors in the moonlight upon their descent. The glow of the Khrona Flowers was marvelous this evening.

"If we pick a Khrona Flower and a Moonflower and put them together, something good will happen! Wanna do it?"

After Tymon saw to it that the Demon Owl was to be taken care of by Tigen, he returned his attention to Friday, whom he was now alone with. "... Soooooooo... How YOU doin~?" (10:31) That whole other shit was gonna get taken care of, since Tigen was on the case. He was not worried at all. "Now, let's see about how to get mine in order. Hmmm... Let me think... Hmmm..." How the fuck did he fucking unlock his First Restriction, again...?

"... Aw dammit. I guess I just gotta wait. *shrugs*" Oh well. At least he was here with his lover... Or rather, her spirit. "Yo, shawty, you can definitely do some shit that'll help out with this, right? Get off your lazy ass and get to work, hoe! >D" (10:33) From around her neck, a flaming chain would spontaneously ignite and extend into his hand, as though siphoning out her powerful destructive magic in the form of the Fire ability that was gifted to him by that little Ignis before it was blown to bits. "LET'S START PLAYING WITH FIRE!!!" From his Left Hand, he would release a beautiful stream of Creation that took the shape of a Hellmutt.


"Look, I made you a little dog thing! It's so cute, isn't it? Let's call him Skippy~!" (10:38)

"Ugh, fuck you," she scoffed, placing her hands on his head and rising effortlessly up into a handstand atop his skull. After having absorbed some of his Creative Energy from his head in the form of his Dreams, she would gracefully slip onto its back and strike a cute, yet subtly sensual pose on its back, letting the flames that conjured this being to engulf her body, lining her hair and clothing. "You're lucky that you're cute. Otherwise, I'd have disposed of you a long time ago!" She winked and returned the kiss blown at her to him so they would meet in the middle.

At that moment, she'd grab the Hellmutt by its neck with her right hand and crush it between her fingers, snapping its neck instantly and dispersing it back into the creative energy it was made from before. She stuck her tongue out as her hand lit aflame, "And don't just go thinking you can have my energy at any given time just because you know you can. We need to establish some ground rules." She tapped her foot impatiently, "But, I guess it just can't be helped... " she sighed, shrugging her shoulders, "What else would a little brat like you do with something like me once you got me, huh...? Probably just some dumb kid things, I bet..." Like a RolePlay Forum or something.

He chuckled lightly, furrowing his brow, smile growing wide as he took hold of a loose end left open by the rather feeble Friday and pulled his Dream Energy that she tried to just 'up' from him on the sly back in the form of a blazing whip, of which he immediately cracked at them there hands that tried to steal it from him. "Ah, ah, ah~! Talking about ME and these ground rules... Let's discuss our matters of 'payment,' shall we? There's a Price for everything, right? I'm sure you know... Hahahah... Hoe. <3 " His voice trailed off as though it were sarcastically said, but it was actually meant with love. This was just how they flirted with each other. (11:13)

"So, uh... let's see how much of MY energy you tried to take from ME..." Time now for penny pinching!! Drawing the flaming energy back into his hand, now significantly more powerful than it was before thanks to Friday's little stickyfingers, he could feel a burning connection with the binding energy now. "Uuuh huh. Tried to take more than you're worth, huh? No, no, no... Now, that won't do at all! But uh, thanks for the INTEREST, love!"


He just adored multilayered jokes. Now, with his Hyper Perception active, he watched how Friday used her powers and immediately broke down and figured out how to use them. Her little slip up was his gain, as would always be... For the both of them, actually. It was an Equivalent Exchange that literally had no restrictions on either end. They could both take as much from the other as they wanted. Now it was all about... How they did it.

"Alright, so all I have to do is strangle one of the little mofos and they turn into dust? Aight, bet. Let's go." He picked up two more flowers and used them to create a Wind Sprite, this time... A little Sylphee, in fact.

"OHMYGAWD, THIS ONE IS JUST ADORABLE, TOO!!! ;; ARE ALL THE LITTLE FAIRY CREATURES SUPPOSED TO BE THIS CUTE!?!? THIS IS HOW I KEPT GETTING DISTRACTED. CURSE YOU, FAIRIES!!! CURSE YOUUUUU!!!"

Using the attractive cuteness against the fairy, he'd simply channel the energy he was getting from feeling attracted to it and exchange it with enough energy to swiftly snatch and crush the little creature in the palm of his hand, popping off its head and squeezing out the little fairy dust.

Oh, he was gonna have to make a CHOCOLATE one next... mmm... Chocolate...

"Ugh, fucking--" she huffed, actually thinking she got one over on him that time. The snap of the flaming whip at her hand was slight, but it was hot... And kinda liked it. She licked her lips slightly at the thought, but didn't do much more than that. She didn't want him to think that he'd actually won.

"It's like 'Man' discovering 'Fire' all over again..." she paused, crickets chirping in her head before she sighed and continued, "... That's not funny. >>;" Even though it was hilarious. Especially when he made more of those little sluts that would try to siphon his energy like only she had exclusive access to do like that shit was just cute or something. Watching him make them just to use the little hoes as necessary was the best thing for her. To think that he could, at any given time, do the same thing to her was actually a pretty nice thought in her head... Maybe she could get him to do it... Let's see.

"Hey, kid! Check this out!!" She snapped her fingers and an owl appeared on her shoulder, and where she pointed her finger (which just so happened to be at his head,) the Nightwing Arrow owl would take off from being perched on her shoulder and shoot through the air in the shape of a sharp, purple arrow; its beak became the point and its ears, the arrowhead edges. Looked sharp enough to pierce straight through his brain with no problem. She smirked snidely, interested in seeing what he was gonna do about it.

Relishing in all the joys of the little Sylph he just snatched up and ate, he would start to combine this Wind energy from here with the Fire magic that was granted by the Ignis, thus conjuring up a little condensation of heat that took the shape of a translucent fairy with large wings. The glow of the heat gave her a shimmering, sparkling form, and she would appear before his eyes as his own energy started to mingle with the ones absorbed by the fairies. "Woaaaah" he thought, this thing manifesting before his Third Eye, "This is awesome~! I wonder what it--" before he could figure it out, the little condensation of heat was skewered by the Nightwing Arrow, causing it to cry out in pain. Its scream sounded like the harmonious resonance of a choir, the ringing releasing a powerful burst of this heated condensation. The force knocked his head back a bit, like someone had just thrown a pillow at him.

"OW!!! Dammit, what is your problem!? You couldn't have warned me, first!? Shit. How am I supposed to know we've started if you don't like, acknowledge it or something!!" He huffed, shaking it off, "... Damn. I swear, some people are just so inconsiderate and impolite 'round these parts. Your behavior is a little QUESTIONABLE to say the least..."

Though, it was funny to watch these little fairies that were trying to appear just continue to die and be used for fodder. Not gonna lie. That was just hilarious.

"Alright, but let me stop fucking around," he said, plucking his last two flowers and bringing them together, "Now, my book. Pandoire, the Crystal Grimoire." It was the book that harbored both Tigen and Friday, as well as everything form the Thirteenth Restriction and below. However, Tymon was currently only able to access whatever was written in the 'Panmanna' section. He flipped through the pages, which would flow from out of the book and take the shape of cards floating around him (3:03) These pages or 'Cards' would be the form of what he wished for his own Omnipedia to take on. His Crystal Grimoire was the Omnipedia, and as such, what would happen to it would assimilate with the reality of the Veritas immediately. All of the information written on each of the pages would merge with the data of the Veritas, linking the Data Realm, the Dream World and the Veritas together through the binding pages of the Pandoire. The world was now his weapon, as well as his storybook that he could write into, take from, read about, learn from and anything else he wished at any given time. It was His Word. His Voice; the Narration on the Pages.

"Alright then. Even though I can do whatever the fuck I want, rules are rules, and as such, I'm gonna have to awaken my First Restriciton in order to be able to utilize my Panmanna without the use of the Pandoire. Then I'll be able to have cool powers and shit like Tsuki does..." He sighed, admiring her abilities and stuff that she could do so effortlessly~! She was just so dreeeaaaammy~!

"Okay, hoe, I'm ready now... Since you wanna take cheap shots and shit..." Though, admittedly, shots were fired by him before they even began. Heeheehee. "While you're training me to use this 'Manna' shit, Tigen should be teaching Tsuki how to use her Soul. It should keep her stabilized and keep her from destroying things when she awakens her First Restriction."

Tymon lifted a finger and reached outward, pulling energy from the air that would take the shape of a Page of the Pandoire in his hand, resembling a card, for convenience. "Let's see... What do we have here...? Crystal Pyramid? Hahaha, Alright, I'm game!" He wasn't skilled at pulling the energy he wanted at any time he wanted just yet, but he could still draw whatever type was in the atmosphere around him at the time. Fortunately for him, being around Friday also meant that he could have access to any sort of energy at any time, but clearly at a price... That he was actually pretty decent on paying. (3:13) He winked, blowing a kiss to her again, "This one's for you, sweetie~!" Trailing off from his sentence would be a string of energy that would sparkle and crackle like fire, burning open spacial rifts around her in the shape of a large pyramid containment chamber, sealed shut with a large mystic Eye. "Evangelion!!" he cried out, pointing at what he was creating as it was being created in excitement, being reminded of the realm where Tinasanti sat and read from the Omnipedia. He was like a child filled with wonder as he watched the things that he had in his head come into reality before his eyes. He created this containment technique based on that thought, which would come to be as the rift that would keep her in a suitable place for her to test out her powers as she saw fit whilst in a controlled environment. (3:52) "When you're ready to be a big girl and play fair, then you can come out, m'kaaaay~?" from his lips, Kanji-type seals would sprout and engrave themselves on top of the Eye, like seals. He would think of blowing bubblegum and begin to chew, blowing out a Crystal Ball of which he was able to peer inside and look at her from outside the Pyramid. "M'kay, have fun~!" he said, letting the large crystal bubble remain on his face like a giant pacifier (not unlike a certain 'Koenma'). He was just gonna sit there and watch her do some shit. That seemed like it would be interesting.

"UUUGH!!" she couldn't believe that she let herself get tricked and trapped like that. It was child's play and she got bamboozled. Now, she couldn't act at all without giving him any of the powers that she had at her disposal. He would see her, number one, with the Hyper Perception (that she didn't forget that he figured out how to do) and two, with the Epic Art able to siphon her power and give it directly to him. She was legitimately trapped.

"You little brat. How could I have fallen for such a trap?" But then again, that's why she loved him... Only he was able to contain the Unbound Influence and actually figure out a way to confine it. He was good... That's why only ONE person could handle her influence correctly; only the Eschaton, the next King of Manna. The only one who could pass the Secret Final Test. "Fine. You pass. I'll finish the coronation without anymore interruptions. You've proven yourself more than capable of handling me and my powers without abuse. (6:56)" She smiled warmly at him, warping out of the Crystal Pyramid and exchanging places with Tsuki. "Now that I know you'll treat my body right, we can get this Absolute Anarchy on the road, eh? Don't think I don't know what marrying into your family means~! 'Specially you, Mr. Pumpkiiing~!"

She gave him a cute smile, and a goodbye kiss up to the mirror before she would reveal to him the power of Lucidity, shifting fluidly between the shape of Friday back to Tsuki and vise versa, as though fading in at the same time she were fading out. It was similar to how Tigen was capable of warping places instantaneously. There, she would accompany Tigen in Deep Thought, where the two of them would have to rise from the final bit of the Zero World of Olde and into the realm on the other side; Manna. Here, she could be properly crowned as Grand Magistrate properly, and the Pumpking could be accepted in rule and rank in the Dream World as well. His Will would travel inside of her, as well, and shape her world into something beautiful in truth... No longer a dream, but as reality.

"... Thanks for freeing me, Tymon. You're the only one that did..." That's why even Friday could say it, too, willfully allowing the Will of Tensei to flow through her and be carried on her words; a sign of her acceptance to his family, their name and everything about them, as he had finally learned to do for hers. "... Aishitageru." She couldn't wait to see how things would be from now on in that new world waiting for her that she could finally exist in with no issue at all... To know that her influence would finally be used for purposes that weren't selfish nor destructive, but were for the good of her world, his world and all others. A perfect union, right proper (7:07) "Sayounara..." with his last wish granted, she would become his True Love and allow them to continue on undisturbed by any sort of Discord from henceforth. Praise be~.

After having Lucidly shifted from Friday back to Tsuki, and vice versa on the other end, Tsuki remained in the Crystal Pyramid, gazing up and around at Tymon, whom she knew could see her, waiting for him to let her out.

"Alright, Tymon. Everything has been set up. We can relax now..." That's all she really wanted was to know that everything would be fine. Now, with Tigen and Friday handling things, she knew that they would be. She trusted them both... Now.

"... If you like, we can continue right where we left off... Or maybe practice with the powers we learned?"

Her hair was no longer glowing purple, but had returned to being its normal color. She still wasn't sure how to unlock the First Restriction, but wasn't really all too concerned about it, at this point.  That was something that she and Tymon could deal with on their own time... Now that they had it, that is.

"Looks like our Peace is now here in the Veritas... So we can roam freely unencumbered..." She'd been waiting for this day just as long as he had. (10:08.) This was her Beautiful Dream and now, it was coming true, thanks to the the Reality... Rather, the Veritas. "... Now let me out so we can be Free together, you bastard. >>; "

"Heehee," he chuckled playfully, releasing the Crystal Pyramid prison from around her being, "Sowwy~!" (8:58) His cute sincerity was only matched by his embarrassed look on his face, not realizing that she'd been contained in there all this time, "Hahahaha... Haaa... >>; " He coughed. "Sooo. How'd it goooo? <3 " Whilst he waited for her to respond, he would start making another little critter to mess with using the Pandoire... He was capable of multitasking.

"YES! A LOTUS LILY!!! INGENIOUS!!" He shouted to himself, pulling some energy from the air like a card from an invisible deck, "Oh man, Water? Let's see... It'll have to be a Water Spirit... Something like an Undine, or something..." He started to think deeper about the personality of these beautiful creatures, developing them swiftly in to fluttering floating icons around him and his head, dancing and twirling elegantly and with harmonious fluidity... " ... Hmmm... Dance upon the lake like water lilies..." As he said this, they would slowly sink into an invisible pool of distortion emanating from around his head like water, being sucked under till only their lotus flowers atop their heads were what remained, "Or, maybe dance UNDERwater like a lotus flower...?" Tymon didn't realize that these things were happening as they occurred, he just knew that he was thinking of them.

"Absorb the Moonlight...." he pondered, looking up to the night sky above him with the moon and stars shining through the breaks in the trees and the leaves, painting a picture almost like a sort of ceramic picture tinted with the dark of night and the shadow of silhouettes against the moonlight, "Hmmm... Keeps water purified with their Moonlight Dance... Hmm..." The petals would twirl, starting to glow and gain power from their slight exposure to the Moonlight, "And they have psychic powers." Yes. This was all coming together quite nicely... "Because the Lotus Lily that is upon their heads is the source of their power, and allows them to perfectly align their chakras!" He waggled his finger in the air thoughtfully, as though he'd had the 'eureka' moment and was now coming into full understanding and returning full circle back to the completion of the design of his 'latest and greatest' creation;

"Well, I just told you the gist of it," she said smugly, rolling her eyes, "But it looks like you were too busy being distracted by some dumb shit again. Not even paying attention." Her eyes darted off to the side as she watched him make a flurry of watery hoes around himself and quickly became inflamed. "I'm going to destroy all of them, you know." It was impolite not to give her his undivided attention... Especially when it was to make those little lucid floozies float all around his head. She was starting to wonder why she herself wasn't just enough for him to give his attention to... Especially if he wasn't paying attention enough to even have answered her questions... >>;

The dancing Lotus Lilies blissfully blossomed about the boy's head, twirling and swirling in elegant harmony and with perfect synchronicity to each other, as though their minds were linked. Their eyes were closed and smiles rested upon their faces. They all drew nearer and nearer to him until, suddenly, before they knew it, they felt the intent of Tsuki bearing down on them from afar and, being psychic, would immediately be whisked away by an invisible wave one by one until they all disappeared elsewhere in the Veritas.

"HEY!" He shouted abruptly, now getting slightly testy, "This is NOT dumb shit. This is EPIC ART!" Before the last little water nymph thing got away, he'd snatch one up out of the sky and bite off its flower, then crush the little body to dust, since there was no more power sustaining its form, "Mmm... Yeah, but the lotuses on their heads are actually like, herbal elixirs that will temporarily align your chakras and increase your powers. Maybe if you eat one, it'll help you." It was then that he realized that he ate the only one he captured. "... Whoops. I mean, I can just make another one, but yeah."

He rolled his eyes at her right back at her in a mocking manner, since she did it to him, and explained himself a bit, "Look, I don't know why you're so upset. Just because I didn't answer right then and there doesn't mean I wasn't paying attention. Number one, you asked ONE question. Number two, eat one of these 'watery hoes,' and you'll probably have enough strength to unlock some more of your powers, considering that these flowers basically align all your chakras momentarily." He'd create another Lotus Lily in his hand, and before she could realize what was going on and warp away, he'd snatch her up and rip the flower off her head, then give it to Tsuki as the Lotus Lily's body dissipated...

"We can use it to train... Just like you said~." He definitely was listening. He was just already getting everything prepared as she was speaking so they wouldn't have to waste much time. He smiled lovingly at her and placed it on top of her head, then grinned goofily at her. "Teeheehee~! You look so cute, Ohime-sama~!" He was just messing around with her, but... He actually meant it behind the goofiness. Especially with the little Lotus Flower Crown... That's what made her the MOST cute~. >///>; (4:13)

She was so happy to hear that he was actually paying attention to her and not those dumb broads that he was thinking up around him. It seemed like he was actually capable of multitasking with thinking and listening, which made her enjoy knowing that she would be heard without him having to look at her or directly focus. He got the message just fine and was simply already working toward the solution as she was giving him the issues. That was rather settling. And, the little one he snatched up and crushed right before her was more than enough to get her heart throbbing again, just like they'd never had a dispute in the first place.


"O-okay..." she said sweetly, plucking the flower from atop her head and eating it. She felt strange for a moment or two, a strange shuddering in her spine like electricity crackling. Maybe that was all of the chakras aligning. "... Umm..." muttered, her dark hair rising a bit before becoming saturated to a rather deep violet, "... Is this what you're talking about?" She could feel, somehow, the power of her Phantasmagoria flowing through her again, much more readily accessible and somehow with knowledge of its capability flowing directly into her head. "... Yeah... That flower totally did it." It was at that moment that she realized he ate his earlier, "Wait! You already ate yours! No fair! You probably poisoned mine, you cheater!" Angelic wings of a deep purple flame sprouted from her head, looking more like owl wings made of a phantasmal aura made from her hair. She would look to be a true Night Angel.

With a single flap, she would release a flurry of burning feathered Night Arrows from one wing, whilst the other would enlarge to become a shield to protect herself.

"Uh, no, but thank you for telling me~" he'd say in a sarcastic, joking manner, "Is that MY Epic Art you're using as your Creative Energy? Uh huh..." He honestly hadn't been thinking about that fact nor did he intend to do any of that until she opened herself up to the thought of that by suspecting that it could happen in the first place. That's what she gets for not trusting him to play fair. >>; "Geez. Can't even get a fucking 'Thank You' before you start attacking. Hmph." The first arrow that came close was snatched out of the air on reflex, being crushed in his hand and dispersing the energy as a burning purple wall of the phantasmal flame. It would absorb the Creative Energy of whatever was being used at the time to build its own, being part of Phantasmagoria. "Hmmm... I think I'll call this one 'Night Angel,' since you gave it to me, Tsuki-chan~!" He blew her a kiss and a wink, a little heart flying up from his lips like a cute little balloon. He was getting good at forming his Epic Art in small little intricate details, so making small little things like that occur around him would be good practice.

"Omoshiroi..." he muttered, a cross-shaped X targeting Tsuki directly at her heart (since he was always NATURALLY focused on that, anyway). He found that being able to use the Creative Energy of other beings to be quite the interesting fact... And necessary, for that matter. With all of the absorbed Phantasmagoria, and now with the capability to use it freely of his own will, and he could target her at any given time he so chose. He would align the heart with Tsuki's and use it as a crosshair. "Ayanami... IZANAGI!!!" A gleaming cross-shaped glint would glimmer in his eyes before an eerie force would both pierce and spiral through the heart and the wall like a spinning needle, the blazing flame trailing behind like its thread. It was the new way he used the 'Rasengan Overload,' having remembered it and using it, but giving it a new name on the spot (for copyright purposes *COUGH*). It was time to anchor this bitch down right quick... >>; (5:33)

Since he was stupid enough to throw some of her own Phantasmagoria back at her, she would simply take control of it again and use it though it were hers. However, when she attempted to do so, she found that she couldn't use it to her advantage like she'd done before. Because it was under his control and she had yet to make contact with her Influence to it again, she was unable to manipulate it until her influence was within it once again and she could take control of the energy. That was her plan.

She'd allow him to think that she didn't know about how she couldn't control it and instead now be prepared to regain her power when she was hit. As soon as the needle-like gaze touched her wing, it would all start to get absorbed back into Tsuki, which would then start to suck out as much of Tymon's Manna (Creative Energy) as possible. Especially since it was attached to a convenient thread... (5:55)

"Heh..." he chuckled smugly to himself, a sinister grin curling upon his face, "... I knew you'd fall for it. So like you, Chibi-chan..." At that point, the tip of the needle bore straight through the Owl's Wing, penetrating the Field of Flame around herself and stabbing directly into the Core of Tsuki; her Heart. "Can't play the 'Mirror Game' all the time, you know... Don't care how much you enjoy it." The needle, being composed of Epic Art, would absorb the Phantasmagoria and use it as more fuel for the Epic Art itself. After piercing her straight in her heart, he would begin to transfer her some of his Creative Energy before it had been changed into Epic Art, restoring to her the energy that she lost after she was pinned down by the needle.

"There ya go. Now we're directly linked to each other. You can have my unconverted Manna all for yourself, as much as you like~! Isn't that what you wanted in the first place...?" his eyes gleamed again, as he grasped and yanked the chain of purple flame linking he and Tsuki now, reeling it back in by rapidly drawing it in and converting it back to Epic Art, "... Chibi-chan~?" (6:06) He blew her yet another kiss, though this time, it came out in the shape of a Sylphee Bomb, which would burst in her face the same way the one Friday shot down burst in his before.

Tsuki was actually shocked to see that her plan failed due to a minor technicality on the part of his weak-ass broken 'Epic Art.' She basically couldn't use any of her Manna against him without him changing it into some of his own Epic Art. That was pretty dirty.

Even so, somehow, to think that he was able to get one over on her was actually kind of attractive to her, in a weird sort of way. She liked that about him and the fact that he wouldn't go easy on her just because they were lovers, no matter how much he loved her. Thinking of him in such a way as the needle bore through her heart brought her great pleasure and pain simultaneously, something that almost made her... ... ...

"Nnn~!" she cried out, trying to muffle her voice as not to scream. Where she thought that this was the end for her and that he'd simply take out all of her Manna, as she would have thought to do... Instead, he GAVE her some of his before its conversion in order to help her out. She was confused a little bit, but at the same time, pretty mad at him for thinking so low of her. "Hmph. I didn't need your help--" before she finished her sentence, she was yanked toward him on the thread that connected the two of them by the needle in her heart and the strings coming from his mind and heart. This wasn't gonna be the end of her, though.

When he blew her the kiss, a huge violet wing sprouted from her head and knocked both it and him away, causing the Sylphee Bomb to explode prematurely and keep herself protected from its destructive blast. She was gonna need to find a way to sever this connection, or she'd be through in this battle. (1:03.)

"Don't take pity on me and don't go easy on me, either!! I'm not just your delicate little wifey, you know!"

She wasn't entirely certain about what to do here, but she certainly wasn't going to give up. She just had to figure out a new power, or something, that would fuck him up. Or perhaps, remember an old one. He barely even had to think of his, since he could just make new ones up on the spot. But, then again, technically, so could she, using the Phantasmagoria.

In his humorous little spat with her, it seemed like she was a little bit... testy about something. It was clear in her voice as well as the force of the slap of her wing. Tymon hit the ground hard in the distance, flopping over to his back, but quickly recovering to his feet.

"Awwww!! Someone's a little cranky! Mad cuz you're getting your ass handed to ya~?" Naturally, he had her all sorts of wrapped up tight, and he didn't really need to do much else to her except taunt her at this point. Yes. Tymon is definitely that sort of person. "Bet you can't do anything to me, sweetie~! I don't have to go easy on you when you're just this bad~! No contest~! No contest~!" He stuck his tongue out at her and started slapping his ass, clearly making fun of her.

"Whatcha gonna do? Use more Manna? I'll just make it into more Epic Art! BWAHAHAHA!"

She already lost. But at least she was a good sport for the little while she did survive! Ohohohoho~!

Tsuki fell completely silent. Her rage was getting the better of her now, and to look at his smug grin laughing at her shortcomings was not making it any better. She didn't want him to hold back, but she also didn't want him to be an ASSHOLE about it.

No longer having words for him, she looked around and snatched up a bouquet of the Reality Flowers and Moonflowers that were nearby, then glared at him threateningly. She did nothing more than that.

"Nyehnyehnyehnyehnyeeeehnyeeeeeh~!"

He continued to playfully make faces and taunt her from afar, trying to piss her off as much as possible just because he knew that it would spice up the fight a little bit. However, when she stopped talking, he knew that he might have taken it a bit too far.

That's when she picked up the flowers.

"... Woahdere. You uh... You got somethin right there... Uh... Right there in your hand... there..."

He coughed, looking from side to side nervously. Looks like the place that he created for the two of them to make merry might be his downfall... Well. Not if he could help it.

"Here..." his eyes would gleam, his face becoming serious once more as the battle pressed on, "Let me HELP YOU!!" He flicked his fingers at her rapidly, sending off Sylphee Bombs as swiftly as he flicked his fingers at her. They were all aimed for those flowers, with the mission to snatch them up out of her hands... Or at least to explode and knock them away.

Just like she popped the little pixies before, she could do it again, regardless of if they were made of Epic Art or not. Once they became sentient, she gained jurisdiction over them, too. Her threatening glare gazed over the green sylphs and would cause them all to burst prematurely, petering out to a gentle breeze that blew through her luscious dark hair. She was through playing games with him, then, as well.

She raised the flowers over herself and brought them together, a thick purple haze pouring out from the center of the flowers. It deconstructed and sucked in the Epic Art, drawing it from him as he could draw it from her. This deep Myst would be drawn into Tsuki's blazing purple hair and course through her body, causing her eyes to gleam with the lavender light of Phantasmagoria. From now on, her Life Energy itself was Epic Art, meaning that she could now feed off of it to give herself life beyond just the form of Creative Energy; The power to absorb Legendary Arts and Souzenryoku. If the needle was in her heart, then she'd draw it in there like a vampiress out for blood. With this new development in her Phantasmagoria, she could absorb his energy before it was converted in its raw state as Creative Energy and after it was converted into his Epic Art. He had no means of defense against her. now.

The strings attached would now yank at his chains, sucking out as much as she could to further boost her strength. Her deep violet hair grew a brighter shade of purple, its mystic flames rising up high into the sky and tinting the atmosphere around her with its hue. The light would be reflected in the petals of the flowers, as though painted into them by her new found intensity.

With the Sylphee bombs thoroughly diffused with just her glare, he could tell now that this was very serious, for some reason. He wasn't sure why, but definitely would not allow it to occur. He only wondered why all of his battles ended up going this way... He remembered them from his past lives, and most vividly through Khrona. (7:27) Remembering the things that he learned from reviewing that past, he was able to draw forth that power himself simply through observation. His Hyper Perception was active now.

"... I see you have no intent to resolve this peacefully..." he muttered calmly, a new serenity ringing in his throat, "... So I will simply show you my Peace and let it ease your soul." The Hyper Perception was the most basic stage of the Tenseigan; before it activated itself truly in the First Restriction, the Hyper Reception serves as its most basic functionality in the Zeroth Restriction. Its form before activation, one could say. With this, he perceived everything with utter precision and heightened awareness.

Nonchalantly, as his power was being quite rapidly sucked out of him, he extended his hand and many card-like pages drew from the atmosphere into a congregation upon his palm till a crystallized black and white book was formed in his hand. He looked into it and read up on the history of his Family.

"... Hm. Looks like because you're bound to me, you also have to undergo unlocking the Thirteen Restrictions in the same way..." he muttered. It was one of the pacts of their union. There were traditions that her family held, such as, perhaps, that test and coronation that Khrona currently was taking care of, that Tymon had also for his own family. A crystalline ring of light appeared around his head as he watched her gradually rise to the limits of the 0th and the 1st restriction. With a swift swipe of his hand and a blur of crystal sheen in between, the thread was severed immediately. A reaper's scythe of crystal had been formed around his hand, that which was the Scythe of Misery. It dissipated moments later as shards of snow blowing gently away in the wind and speckling the flowers with their dewdrops.

"Get a grip, Tsuki. Calm down. I thought you knew me better than that." Seems like she couldn't take a little joke between them. But that's why he would stop kidding around if that were the case. He wanted her to feel better and wouldn't continue to face her if she didn't feel good about it. "I expected more from you, honestly. But I understand perfectly how and why you feel the way you do." He placed his hands inside of the sleeves of his robe and closed his eyes, no longer seeking to engage her in combat. Eventually, without a target to face, she would have to see that he only intended to make her happy again. "Guess we just can't play together fully quite yet..." (7:47)

She would draw forth his power from the string that had bound them together; more and more until her own would be restored to a sufficient amount. Somehow, she was able to recall memories of her past life as Tymon recalled those of his, as though their minds were linked somehow through this union. She remembered that the marriage of Titania and Khrona unified their Bodies, Minds and Souls... So perhaps that now, in their newly reincarnated forms, they were still linked through that Bond formed between them. Regardless of the vessels they inhabited, they would still be who they were on the inside, and that was most important.

However, that was not enough to make her feel better right now. Not right now, at least. Her rising anger drew her nearer and nearer to the boundary that would be the limits of the 0th, her flaming hair pouring its energy outward in a surplus. Just when she thought she would break the limit, the crystal scythe cut the connection, leaving Tsuki high and dry just as she was about to break through.

"..." she quickly used up a great deal of her power letting it pour out uncontrollably through her hair, but soon, it would begin to settle. The more she listened to him, the more she realized that she kinda was being a bitch about it... Not that she would let him know about that. Feeling a little disappointed in herself, she turned her head away from him, no longer wishing to look at him whilst she felt this way. There was a lot going on inside that she simply would not say aloud. The only thing she knew was that she needed some time to think about this and collect herself. Maybe they were not ready yet... Or maybe, she was the one that wasn't ready...

She closed her eyes and scrunched her face a bit at the thought of that. It was official. She had to go find a way to get stronger. She couldn't bear it right now... "... Gomenne, Ty-kun..." she muttered under her breath, her eyes watering slightly. Fortunately, she remembered how to use the Dream Robe and some of her other Phantasmagoria powers after almost reaching the First Restriction. It would fade in around her body from thin air, and without anymore words than that, she would shroud herself in it with a swift cast of her arm over her head, causing her to disappear immediately. She took with her a bouquet of the Reality Flowers and Moonflowers so that she would not only remember her lover, but also the gift he gave to her and the place he made for them. She would return one day... When she felt that she was ready. When she was stronger. Now, where she ended up was all up to her own will...

He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, a gentle breeze blowing past as Tsuki adorned her Dream Robe and whisked herself off elsewhere. In that same breeze, she would vanish, and the winds would fall silent once again... as would Tymon.


Somehow, he knew it would come to this with her. Unlike him, she'd not gone through the Thirteen Restrictions before. She had her own familial issues to worry about without also having to be bound by the covenant between them, as well. (3:25) Tymon remembered that Khrona was not ready to undergo the Thirteen Restrictions when it was his time in the past life... Nor was he aware of it. At least she had the privilege of knowing about it and having somewhere to obtain information on it... Thanks to the efforts of their ancestors...

"... Sayounara..." he muttered gently, though not with remorse, regret nor heartbreak, but with hope for her safe travel, "... Tsuki-chan." He would give her the time she needed for herself in order for her to better figure out who she was before she hopefully would return to him. They were lovers, after all. If it was as True as the covenant intended, then it would come to be no matter what. "Mata au hi made..." he'd finally say, letting his Epic Art take form around him again in an entirely different attire. He'd place a gray cap upon his head and allow his robe to take the form of a black vest.

"Yooosh...~!" She'd say, fading in around him no sooner than Tsuki would leave and he'd call her name. She was his Chomao, after all, as was part of the bond they shared. (4:44) Looks like he hadn't forgotten, nor did it bother him at all that she needed some time to herself. That was good to know.

She'd follow behind him casually, floating gently upon the air and to his head, where she'd slip her legs around his neck and rest them upon her shoulders, laying her head down upon his hat. She closed her eyes and disappeared, becoming a sort of 'Dream Robe' for him to don upon his back as well.

With his bae on his back and his gloves secured, Tymon was now prepared for Adventure and thus would embark on his own personal journey in search of his own endeavors whilst he waited for Tsuki to get her life together and all such shit she had to do. (4:52) Truth be told, he had some shit to do himself... The Veritas was his land, after all, to do with whatever he wanted. And he had his own set of rules for the ballgame, too.

Picking his own bouquet of Reality Flower and Moonflowers, he would walk to his airship extension, Labrys, and up the stairway to the main deck. It was time for him to do some air raids. "Alright then. Lift off." (4:55) The engine would stir as the propellers came to a whir, almost as though it were of a medieval type of construction, despite clearly being divine in infrastructure. It did not seem that the propellers actually made it fly, but were there merely for the aesthetic pleasantry and his appreciation for the Olde English Final Fantasy IX style of the ship from which it was modeled, and wanted to stay true to the design... Despite how they were two completely different things.

"Don't let anyone touch our spot, by the way, bae," he had to say in the midst of the divine airship's ascent, "Kisses~. *muah*" He knew that this place not only was dangerous due to the flowers that grew here, but also it was special to him and sacred to he and his lover's love... And didn't want anyone tarnishing it like they probably were gonna do to the other places in the Veritas. >>; "Fucking up the upholstery and shit..." He took to the head, where the Captain's Chair was placed, right before the wheel of the ship. "Maybe I can scoop me up a crew, or some shit..." he muttered under his breath, wondering what ANYONE would be doing around here in the Veritas... What could be interesting about Tymon's personal dimension?

"Take us anywhere that's hot right now, Labrys. You know I like it hot~." He licked his lips sensually and winked, then shot a glare to Friday, smirking, "Unless you have any suggestions, lovey?"

"Your wish is my command, lovebug~! Hahahaha!!" she leaned backward slowly onto her hands, until her palms were securely implanted on the ground. She would push off her hands as the ship took off and phase through the ascending vehicle and through the bottom of the flying craft, hands already charged with her Malfortuna.

With a number of archaic symbols not unlike those of which the Tensei were so fond of using (when they did use their ancient techniques, that is), Friday would cast a huge seal in the shape of a spider's web upon the land, connecting the dots from every point of interest all about the Moonflower Orchard. Each of the objects here not only was laced with a malicious omen, but they also projected it from every angle; every visible point of view. The strings of the Malfortuna worked on a dimensional level, the same way as Tigen's techniques (considering, they were on the same level in terms of Restrictions.) Therefore, this place was sealed with her web all up, down and all around it.

When she was done, she smirked in a devilishly cute manner and phased out in a puff of smoke that seemed to disperse completely into thin air. Back around his shoulders, forming like a Cheshire Cat legs first and curling around his head, she'd rest herself comfortably upon his head again, as though nothing happened. "Done~" she sang, swinging her legs cutely whilst on his shoulders. When asked about where she wanted to go, she kinda rolled her eyes and scoffed at him, "Shit, I don't care... This is YOUR journey, isn't it? Besides... Didn't you already give Labrys the command anyway?" Still it was nice to know that he considered her opinion on the matter. This kid was pretty alright... Even if he was a little impulsive sometimes, it always seemed to end up working out, for whatever reason. Even with the random mixups that occur. He really was the Chosen One meant to break their family's curse... She was happy enough knowing that. Knowing that he would be the one... And that she was his for his family's curse, too.
