General Notes.

>Who are you?
You are Kouga, one of the brave soldiers that fight for the love and peace of the world, a Saint. You were raised in the Sanctuary by your Master Integra and under the tutelage of the Witch of Darkness Medea. The Sanctuary considers you a prized soldier because you were born under the blessing of a Dark God, who hopes to use you as his dark messiah to destroy the world of light.

But you won’t have any of that… thus your main mission right now, besides being a Saint, is to find a way to make the darkness you wield yours and find a way to stop the Dark God from possessing you again.

>What are you doing right now?
Before your mission you have to face an important person... you can't run away from Sonia.

>How do your powers work?
Generally you have two elemental powers, the first are your electrical powers, which sadly over the years you have neglected. They serve as your primary ranged damage source and they have a low chance of stunning the enemy.

Then you have your Darkness Type Moves, which are used through Evil Right, generally you obtain some dice bonuses and DC bonuses depending on the type of attack used and when Evil Right is equipped you can use Curses and Witchcraft without having to waste a turn to prepare them.

In general Kouga build resulted in you having weaker physical capabilities, and in turn you should use things like Elemental advantages and Curses to even the field.

>What is the elemental wheel?
Certain Elements beat others, the general idea is that if you use a super effective move on an enemy, you deal extra damage and will have an easier time rolling, the end. Some elements beat the weaker, generally it goes,

Wind > Elec > Earth > Water > Fire (> Wind.)
With Darkness > Light (>Darkness)

>Then what is an attack type clash?
Generally speaking attacks can be classified in three types, the first are Strikes, which are precise speedy attacks, and the second are the Guards attacks, which are iron tight defensive maneuvers, with Crashes being the third type which are powerful moves that exist to overwhelm the opponent.

These three attack types have a triangle relationship, in which Crash>Guard>Strike (>Crash). When you use an attack that beats the attack of your opponent, you gain an advantage, which translates in some extra DC bonuses.

>What is the DS thing in the Stat Sheet?
It’s how much influence the source of Evil Right has over you, the higher it is… well you guys know how these things generally go, right?

>Why didn’t you include X option in the choices?
Most of the time I just write what comes first to mind. If you want to do something else, have a different idea or want to use one of the skills not listed, then use the Other Option. It’s there for a reason.

>Have there been any changes to skills?
Yes, thinking of changing the DC system to take into account enemy stats more… need to work it better.

Last of all, you all can ask me questions, if you want to know how something works or what does a skill do, just ask. A QM is here to answer your questions.

The only way to face your sins is to not run away from them. The only thing you can do… no what you have to do is to face that person and look at her eyes… if only to ask for forgiveness.

That’s why you don’t run from Sonia, you face her and hear the truth… the truth about how she gave someone invaluable to save you.

This girl… why did she sacrifice something so precious for you? Someone like you. Someone she just met… why did Sonia do this?

That’s just stupid right? You know that someone like Medea would have never done that… yet Sonia did it? She gave herself to the darkness to save your stupid worthless life! You don’t know what to think or rather… you don’t know how to carry the weight you are suddenly feeling.

How does someone repay a person who gave part of their life to save yours? What should you do for Sonia?

This girl is an idiot, an idiot so stupid, so stupid… so stupid, kind and nice that you just have to hug her. You just hug her and cry. You cry for yourself and for you idiot of a friend who is just too nice and caring for her own good.

You are scared to ask this question, but after hearing everything, this should be nothing… but even so, you feel scared. “Sonia…. why did you do this? Why did you save me?” The Tears don’t help you talk clearly, but somehow you said it.

And now you feel even more scared… did Sonia save you because Mars told her? If that was the reason… you don’t know what you would do.
No you know… you just don’t want to even think of that being true.

“I did that… because I wanted to save you, isn’t that enough Kouga?” Sonia’s mask didn’t allow you to see her face… to read her emotions, but in her case you didn’t have a mask to protect your heart.

“I see you don’t like that answer… the truth is, Kouga, I saved you because you were my friend, because you helped me, because you gave me the courage to talk to father, because you got hurt trying to help me… I wanted to save your life to because I… I hated the thought of you dying… so I was willing to do anything to save you. “How can she say this so simply… she almost died, because of you!

Sonia’s Martian Galaxy Mail feels uncomfortable to hug, but even so you tighten your hug, and you feel your eyes getting wetter. “What I gave up that day doesn’t compare to saving your life… Kouga, even if I had to give my life for yours, to me it would have been forth it, I hope you understand that. To me your life… just as my father’s and Eden’s is worth more than mine…”

This girl is an idiot, really that’s the only way you can describe it, your life would never be worth hers, and how can she expect you to be clam and understand her when she says something this sad.

Someone shouldn’t live sacrificing themselves for others, it just makes the others suffer.

Why... can't she understand that? It should be simple... right?

In the end, you just don't want to see her get hurt... less because it was something you did.

It looks like the waterworks won’t stop for now… how stupid of you. Still you need to think of a way to answer Sonia, what do you say?
>Just end this here, you should stop this… just take some time to think! [Next Day]
>”You Idiot! If you get yourself hurt for me, it will still make me feel horrible!” [Seeing you get hurt will hurt the one you want to protect!]
>”You are wrong, your life is important, more important than mine!” A child of darkness like you is not that important in the end.
>”Does this mean that you would be willing to do this again?” [A martyr is not something I need as my friend… Sonia!]
>Trading one for another… it won’t change anything, we still lose someone. Sonia, what we should do is try to save others without sacrifice! Without giving up on others!
>Don’t do this again, you hear me, never. If you need to save someone, then I will do it for you.
>I owe you a debt… let me repay it. [Life oath?] (Write-in how?)
>Other?

WISE UP: Prometheus
Have you heard of this legend, of the God who stole the miracle of fire from the other gods and gave it to man, allowing mankind to become something greater. But for his actions the Gods punished Prometheus by jailing him and having demonic birds eat his liver for eternity.

Just like how a certain serpent gave the fruit of knowledge to humans, when Prometheus gave humanity fire, he kick started the quest for knowledge of humanity, and what would eventually lead to humans breaking away from the gods.

Fire was just the first small tool that allowed humans to stand on their own feet, but even so, we can say that humanity owes much to Prometheus. In a way he was the father of chaos… the one who gave humanity the fire of rebellion.

This grimoire is probably some sort of tome that chronicles how Prometheus gave humanity the first flame, the fire of rebellion and probably has some hints on how to replicate that primordial flame.

But Prometheus is not a fire god, he is a thief, a thief that stone the power of the gods and gave it to humanity… and maybe his grimoire could represents that too.

Kouga, anyway be careful, the fact that this sort of ancient artifact just randomly appeared in a museum sounds fishy… so keep your eyes peeled.

If you need to, never be afraid to run away, Kouga.

Don't be silly Belkan. Rivals can't be role models.

>>33919585
No, she won’t understand that alone… Sonia is the type that will never understand something like how you are feeling unless you tell her yourself. “You idiot! If I see you getting hurt because of me… how you think it will make me feel! Do you think I will be happy if you get hurt trying to save me! No, it won’t, it never will! It will just make me feel horrible!”

You remove yourself from your hug… and raise your hands until they land at both sides of Sonia’s face, “Seeing you get hurt, also hurts me! Why can’t you understand that?” Admitting that to Sonia is painful, painful because you don’t really know why your hearts feels pain when you think of your friend getting hurt.

Sonia’s mask doesn’t betray what she feels, and in that moment you wish with all your heart to rip that mask apart and look at your friends in the eyes… but you don’t. Sonia will have to come open on her own terms, but you feel a pair of armored hands landing on yours.

To your great shame, these hands burn with the power of darkness. “Kouga, even if my actions would make you uncomfortable, I would still carry them, I would sacrifice myself to save you. I would prefer for you to be sad, rather than being hurt or dead. Please understand, Kouga.”

A part of you is starting to feel angry, how can she say something this cruel, “That’s not fair, and why are you thinking like that, just… “Just don’t get hurt, can’t you see I also want to protect you?

But you don’t say that, you don’t have the courage to say that. After all, Sonia almost died because of the darkness you carry. Can you really say you can protect someone after learning that?

Maybe… the Dark God is right, the darkness might only exist to devour and hurt others.

But Sonia just continues, her voice cutting through the doubt of your heart, “Kouga, when we met, you saved my life. That day… I had done something I could never forgive myself for, but meeting you helped me carry one… and you also helped me face my father, so I want to protect you Kouga, at least until I can repay the debt I owe you my friend.”

Sonia’s voice sounds calm, but you feel her armored body shake against yours. “It’s the only way to atone for everything.” You don't like the sound of that... and you don't think she is thinking of you when she is using the word 'atone.'

She must still regret whatever happened that involved the Southern Cross clothstone. Your friend never told you exactly what exactly happened, but you feel that Sonia was traumatized for back then… before you met her.

That was probably why you met her in the forest, but you don’t know how exactly you helped her, if anything, meeting Sonia helped you.

Maybe… you should try and get her to understand that too?

Still what should you say?
>Just leave. [Learn to retreat!]
>No, you are wrong, my life is not worth yours. If you don’t value it, then I teach you to care for it! [Teach her to love herself?]
>I am your friend, friends have no debts between each other [Free her?]
>Don’t you understand, if you get hurt saving me, you are not doing it right! [Teach her what a true hero is! A true hero never allows others to get hurt, in both body and heart!]
>The one who owes you a debt is me you really don’t understand… you idiot… [Now you are a servant of the dark…]
>Promise me you will not be stupid and do something this stupid again… don’t make me cry..
>I didn’t become your friend for this, all I need is you. For you to stay with me! I don’t need someone to go and get hurt for me! [????]
>Just hug her… and cry… [Sometimes words are not good.]
>Don't use me as an excuse, the truth is that you are doing this for yourself! Don't lie to yourself Sonia! [????]
>Other?

>>33920256
Mmm.. how about Mars?

Seiya is too beta to be a role Model... so that leaves the only Saint that ever got laid of the legendary five... What about the Legendary Dragon Saint, Shiryu!

>>33920524
>>I didn’t become your friend for this, all I need is you. For you to stay with me! I don’t need someone to go and get hurt for me! [????]

Why is this idiot such an idiot?

>>33920564
>> Shiryu as a role model

I don't think bleeding allover the ground is something I want Kouga to emulate.

>>33920801
Well, Kouga calling Sonia idiot here is him being all Tsun. He learned that from Medea... sadly.

And hey, Kouga could learn how to poke his own eyes out every battle and fight naked! Shiryu is the greatest Saint to emulate!

>>33920524
>No, you are wrong, my life is not worth yours. If you don’t value it, then I teach you to care for it! [Teach her to love herself?]

Repay your debts by living on and doing good! Atone for your actions by learning from their consequences and carrying that burden! Don't try to run away by finding an excuse to die, instead accept what was done and learn from it. What has happened in the past is best atoned for by living on and letting your lessons from it affect who you become!

>>33920893
Sonia's problem is less that she wants an excuse to due, and it's more that she is a love martyr. To her the only way to atone is by giving everything to the ones she love...

I feel I didn't explain this correctly.

Don't blame the constellation, Sonia problem come from a bunch of different reasons, including her life as a child solider and who her family is.

She has had a tough life.

>>33921356
>She has had a tough life.

Well... We died, are possessed by a an ancient evil, our closest friend is probably a closet psychopath, We lived in a cave for a couple of years, We got curbstomped by Harbringer, Madea, and The dice

Am I missing anything? Oh yeah the fate of the world also rests on our tiny mitts. I think we won the Championship in Suffering

>>33921676

Once we break out Victor lll and Silberkreuz the four of us can form the Suffering Alliance.

>>33921265
“Sonia, you are wrong! My life is not worth yours, it never will be! No matter how much you think you have to protect me, or how much you think you owe me, it doesn’t matter! No, if you don’t value your life, then I will simply teach you to care for it, myself!” Tough words, but you aren’t even sure how to do that.

What could you tell Sonia so she would consider herself some more… so she won’t do anything as stupid as giving herself to the darkness again?

“Kouga, you are misunderstanding this, it’s not that I don’t value my life, but it’s that I value the lives of those I love even more… that includes you, Kouga.” Your friend takes a moment to remove your hands from her face, and then pulls you into a hug. “Kouga, to me you are worth it, and just like I would do for my family, I would be willing to give my life to help you…I hope you can understand that, Kouga.”

Your friend has never been the hugging type, so being so close to her makes you feel strange, but that is not important right now… “No I don’t… I really can’t understand that or even accept that! Sonia, trying to be all heroic and sacrificing yourself to make others happy will just leave yourself miserable! It’s the same as killing yourself slowly for others! It’s not fair! Why can’t you just love yourself more? Why can’t you see that there are other ways to do things other than being a blind love martyr?”

Sonia… Sonia simply smile… or at least you think she does beneath her mask, “Sorry Kouga, but the world is not that simple. This world of light is unfair, and sometimes it demands sacrifices from people. To archive happiness someone must suffer. That’s why if it comes to it, then I would prefer to suffer for your sake, than allowing anything bad to happen to you. That’s sadly how this sad world works.”

This world is a world of sacrifice? Does your friend really believes this?

>Don’t lie, it only works like that if you want it to be like that! Sonia don’t blind yourself!
>Then if the world is at fault, then I will change this world! With my two hands!
>You owe me a debt right? Since you don’t care for it, then your life is mine! Until you learn to love yourself, then you will live for me! [Call to her honor?]
>You idiot, I don’t care for the world or its rules! I just don’t want to lose you, just… just stay with me! [Personal?]
>That’s not how the world works, sacrifices won’t solve anything! Let’s look for another way! [Faction Change Chance?]
>This word is not as bad as you think, this world of light still has love... [The world athena loves?]
>I don’t need you to sacrifice yourself for me! Don’t use me as an excuse Sonia! This won’t make you happy nor help you atone for what bothers you!
>[Just hug her… more tightly] Don’t you understand that I don’t like seeing you get hurt… I feel the same as you… I hate seeing you, my friend, get hurt! I would sacrifice myself for you, too! [Turn it around?]
>[Bright Slap!]
>You are wrong… [Leave and go rest…]
>Other!

And now i can in good conscience go for the spoiler option.

I don't know what the truth is. Can happiness be achieved without sacrifice? Can life exist without hardship? I haven't learned the answer, but I'll make it my quest to find out!

>>33922528
Well, the answer is what you want to make of it, do you really want to believe in a world of sacrifice? Do you think this world is one that sacrifices others?

In the end Kouga will have to decide what he things about the world and his place on it.

Also might want to start looking for the last member of the suffering alliance!

>>33922188
>>33922383
>>33922419
>>33922528
The truth is not nice is it!

She means to sound like she is doing the right thing, like she is some saint whose love will redeem the world! But she is wrong, you won’t accept this, you never will!

“Sonia, I don’t need you to sacrifice yourself for me, I don’t want that, and I never will want it! What you are doing is not selfless, it’s just plain selfish! You are just doing whatever you want without even considering how you might make others feel! No, without consider how you make me feel!” You have come this far, so you can’t lie anymore, Athena knows how much you care for this idiot!

“So don’t use me as an excuse, this world isn’t as cruel as you think to just demand sacrifices from people! I don’t know why you feel you have to do this, or what you hope to atone by doing this, but you aren’t doing it exactly for me! You don’t even care how I feel, how I feel knowing you almost died for me!” Sonia is shaking against you, or rather you are the one who is shaking, shaking in tears and anger! “Sonia, what you are doing won’t make you or anyone else happy nor will it help you atone for whatever is bothering you… Sonia, please don’t do this… there is another way!”

You friend remains silent for a few moments, before she gathers her own courage, the corrugate that was born from her desire to protect something, “Kouga, you are being naïve, the world is not as nice as you want to believe… and even if you are right… I don’t think I am wrong! Kouga, I simply want to protect you, you and Eden. I want to protect the future you two will inherit, and for that I am willing to give everything I have… is that too much? Is that so selfish of me? Why can’t you understand me?”

Sonia is a soldier, a soldier who is fighting for the world her father dreams of… that is why she is willing to sacrifice anything, anything, including herself to protect the world Kouga and Eden will inherit one day, even if Kouga doesn’t understand it right now, one day her friend will appreciate the love she has for him.

This world is one that only demands sacrifices from people, so if to protect the ones she love she has to make the sacrifices for them, then it's something she is willing to do selflessly! Her love is that great!

At this point to you Sonia is not making any sense… you need something to make her understand you… anything!

This will probably be your last chance... so what do you say? What can you say to make her understand that she is wrong!

>[Bright Slap] Then all I have left is this… I will fight you, Sonia! [Fight?]

>You are simply just ignoring what you don’t like! You don’t have to do this or think this way! If the world demands blood in exchange of happiness then I will use my right arm to change the world itself! As humans we have the right to have that hope! [The hope that is called a taboo!]

>We both know that you are being selfish! So stop being stupid and hear me! If you want to atone, then simply live! Live and face up what you did! I promise to help you as your friend! [Atonement Route= Sonia’s fate will be tied to… ]

>Yeah it’s selfish! Because I don’t care about the future that you want to protect! To me a future without you is not something I want!

>Sonia, this world is not as cruel as you think! I hope one day you understand that! [This world is filled with endless love!]
>I just don’t want you to see you get hurt… you won’t be happy this way and I won’t either… please just understand that. If you want to be stupid then as a friend I will be there to stop you! [Another weight will added to your karma!]

>Yes it’s selfish, and its fine, be as selfish as you want, but allow me to do the same! I will be even more selfish than you and drag you back every time you do something as stupid as this! [I will bring you back, I won’t allow you to leave me!]

>I don’t know if this word is one of sacrifice, but I want to hope otherwise, so Sonia, why don’t we both search for the answer to this!

>It’s your life, even if I hate it, I will accept that! [Give up?]

>Just leave…

>Other?

One thing I want to point out is that Sonia's own philosophy comes from her own interpretation of the one Mars has. If this world is shitty and demands sacrifice in exchange of happiness, then the one to sacrifice should be me, says Sonia, that way the ones I love will be happy!

Mars went, the extremist route, and wants to just change everything, not caring how much he has to burn to do it! In the end it will be worth it!

>>33923622
>Yeah it’s selfish! Because I don’t care about the future that you want to protect! To me a future without you is not something I want!

Harsh but she needs to understand that even paradise is worthless if the people important to you are gone.

“Sonia… I just don’t want you to see you getting hurt… you just won’t be happy this way, and I won’t either. So please, please just understand my point of view, but if you can’t… if you really can’t. Then I can respect that… that’s your choice Sonia!”

You give Sonia some space, as you stand and point at her with your finger! “But, Sonia if you want to be stupid then as your friend, as your best friend, then I will be there to stop you! So I won’t allow you to sacrifice yourself when we have another choice!”

By saying this, you are adding another weight to your shoulders, one that you may not be able to carry! But this is not the time to hesitate! Not when your friends needs you!

“Kouga… you ca-“ Sonia wants to protest, why can’t her friend see why she must do it. If someone must become a sacrifice, then she should be the one offered first! After all she is the dirty one…

“No, hear me out! I will show you that you are wrong about this. I won’t allow you to think that you have to sacrifice yourself to make others happy Sonia! This world is not as cruel as you think!” And if it is that cruel, then you will change it with your own hands!

“So Sonia, I won’t allow you to be selfish anymore! I won’t allow you to leave me, that’s my own way of being selfish!” You give her a wide smile as you turn around and simply run away from the part…

After all, you aren’t sure you want Sonia seeing you blush redder than the Sun.

But at least now, you feel you understand your friend some more... this was the first time she told you about her own problems, it's like you are closer than ever. But that doesn't change what you did to her... what your darkness did to her.

After all Sonia signed a contract with the darkness and it's source... and you hope it doesn't end like yours.

The next day, you wake up to the sound of someone knocking the door to your house. Gee, who could be so rude to do this so early in the morning?

“Kouga, you blockhead, it’s me, Eden, I have to talk to you about your Mission, so open this stupid door right now! We don’t have much time!”

Wait Eden… why is he here again… you feel sleepy… maybe he should come later! "Kouga, I need to talk, so don't ignore me you nincompoop!"

What should you do…
>Meet the Eden…
>Sleep some more!
>Tell him to come later!
>nincompoop [Laugh]
>Ignore him, prepare breakfast!
>Other?

>>33925935
>nincompoop [Laugh]
Does kouga know what that word even means?

Regardless, lets go with
>Meet the Eden…

>>33925935
>Other?

"What's the password simpleton?"

>>33925935
>Meet the Eden…
>>nincompoop? [Laugh]

Well at least he's not out for blood today.

>>33925935
>nincompoop [Laugh]
>prepare breakfast!
Eden needs to work on his insults if nincompoop and blockhead are the best he can do

>>33926070
Well he is being nice about it...

>Both Kouga and Eden are tsundere....

>>33926020
Well he became your friend after the mission with the Alchemists... nothing like almost dieing fighting a newborn God to become bros.

>>33926184
Even though he did terribly

Git Gud Eden

>>33926267
Don't worry, his next boss fight will be better... probably.

Nincompoop, oh god, that sounds funny… still what does that mean… anyway you jump down the stairs and open the door, just to be greeted by the frantic face of your rival, Eden!

His eyes are bloodshot red, and you feel he is tired, but somehow your friend/rival masks that perfectly, he masks it until only a perfect gentleman stands before you! “Good day idiot, nice to see you finally opened this thing, Kouga!”

Well a perfect gentleman who is not afraid of calling you stupid.

Great.

You allow Eden to enter, as you turn to your kitchen, “Well, why are you here? I doubt you came to just see my handsome face the first thing in the morning.” You feel like also being mean to Eden, and for this you feel like blaming Medea. “Also do you want something to eat?”

After all, she taught you to be a wicked witch after all!

“No idiot I am here for something important, but if you can please give me a cup of coffee, as black as possible if you can.” Eden takes a seat in the same chair his father sat yesterday, and you simple start working in your kitchen.

You start preparing a super sweet coffer for Eden (take that!), while you start preparing a light breakfast. “Something important, you should know that I leave later today, right?”

“Yes, I came here for that, Kouga, I need you to abandon that mission Mother gave you, just don’t go to Paris! It’s too dangerous!” Surprisingly, Eden’s voice is serious… and you don’t know how to feel about this.

Why is he saying that?
>Eden, you know that your Mother is my boss, I can’t exactly disobey her. So this better be good!
>Dangerous how? Come one, you shouldn’t worry about little old me!
>I need my wolf Eden, my wolf?
>It’s just a Grimoire, I handle them all the time, and hell this house is full of them!
> Explain! [You will give him a normal black coffee if he is nice about this.]
>Want something to eat Eden?
>Other?

>>33926918
>>Dangerous how? Come on, you shouldn’t worry about little old me! Ara ara~
>[You will give him a normal black coffee if he is nice about this.]

Messing with Eden is fun.

>>33926918
>Eden, you know that your Mother is my boss, I can’t exactly disobey her. So this better be good!
seriously we could be a frog for the next year for not doing what she asked!

>>33927136
A frog, nah, she wouldn't do that... more like she would turn you into something that says Dood a lot!

>>33927136
>>33927057
Going with both... they just work nicely.

>>33927188
That would be interesting dood
but I hope she doesn't use the traditional method of transforming him into an explosive penguin dood

“Dangerous how? Come on, you know you shouldn’t worry about little old me! Ara Ara ~” You wave your finger at Eden from the kitchen as you continue preparing your breakfast!

And you blame a certain stupid devil for the ‘Ara Ara’s… it’s is fault! You hope he gets tuned into an exploding penguin by his sister.

Eden just smiles, “Yes, I will worry for you, after all you are the kind of idiot who will get himself killed crossing the street or calling a girl cute. So I feel I must take care of those in need, like you!” Gee, that hurts Eden, really it does. “But, let’s stop with the jokes, we have to really talk.” That was a joke?

“Well, Eden you know that I work for your mother directly (and not Sonia), so I can’t exactly disobey her, so this better be good.” You really don’t want your teacher getting funny with you and stuffing your soul inside a doll… again.

Being a penguin is not fun! Dood!

“Kouga, you know that this is an original grimoire right, one that contains divine magic from the Age of Myth, right? And it just appears in the Louvre like nothing? You don’t have to be a genius to know that this is a trap, we both know it.”

You don’t say anything and allow Eden to continue, “Something like this grimoire will probably draw up everyone who cares after it, so every magic faction that cares about this grimoire will be there. So do yourself a favor and just tell my mother no, I am sure that if we talk with my honored Father, he will think help you, Kouga!”

Well… how you answer this? Also Eden also will receive some nice coffee from you at least.
>I know that, that is why I am being sent, to make sure nothing happens.
>Don’t worry, if it’s a magic battle I will never lose!
>Don’t be that afraid, it’s not a trap.
>Trust in your mother and me, Eden! I can handle this!
>You know it’s not that easy, your mother is my teacher, and I can’t really deny her.
>Other?

>>33927759
>I know that, that is why I am being sent, to make sure nothing happens.

Here's to hoping that Madea knew that as well and didn't just give us the mission for shits and giggles

>>33927759
>>I know that, that is why I am being sent, to make sure nothing happens.

"We beat a god up last week Eden, who else would they send?"

>>33927958
>>33928047
Writting!

>>33928165
“I know that Eden, that is why I am being sent there, to make sure nothing happens there.” Your teacher is not an idiot, she knows that this will be a mess but at the same time she trusts you to not get yourself killed.

Medea and you might be mean and play tricks on one another, but you both are professional witches. Magic is what ties you two and you two will never betray it.

Magic is the source of your love and trust!

“Plus we just beat a god last week, who else do you think they would send?” Well you know that Black Dragon was not exactly a real god, but it was close, right?

“Don’t get too cocky, you know that where witches and mages gather those who hunt them will soon follow, in other words the Holy Church and their exorcists will probably be there.” The Sacraments of the church were the bane of the mages and those who use the power of darkness, so you could see why Eden might be worried for you.

“Still no problem, I can handle it!” Really you should, unless they did something as stupidly powerful as overlay the city with everlasting light, then there is no way any executor might beat you.

“Great, I knew you were going to do this, then I am coming with you! I just know that if I let you get out of my sight, you will get yourself executed for heresy by the Holy Church!” And that was nice of Eden in his own way… you a really aren’t used to having someone other than Master really care this much.

Even Sonia was more subtle with her protectiveness of you… and you stop thinking of that before you want to try punching someone.

Still how you answer Eden.
>You can come…
>No, I don’t need you.
>Stay here and come after me! [Second Wave!]

>>33928383
>You can come…

>>33928383
>You can come…

>WhatsTheWorstThatCanHappen.jpg

>>33928731
>>33928761
Oh boy, you don't know...

>>33928383
>Stay here and come after me! [Second Wave!]

>>33928857
“Okay fine, you can come, but I still feel you are exaggerating, it won’t be that bad!” Really it won’t, if you faced another witch or an executor, you could just easily defeat them or just run away.

Easy.

Eden just smiles as he nods happily, “Good, glad to see you using your head for once, and now, that we have solved this, we must decide how to enter the city. We have several options but in general they have to deal with how fast you want to arrive at your destination versus how much noise you want to make.”

“First you could just try going directly to Paris through an airplane, while this is the fastest route, and will allow you to avoid anyone preparing an ambush for you, it generally will mean that everyone who is looking for you will surely notice you enter the city, and will hurry to receive you.” In other words, entering though the plane was the fastest option, but the most attention drawing one too.

“Then we could try a land route, and just walk there. If we are good we can cross without anyone noticing us and enter the city without making a mess. Sadly this method of travel is extremely time-consuming and gives the enemy more time to prepare for our arrival, and I am not sure that the book will be there by the time we arrive.” This was the safer option, but if you waste too much time, you would probably find everyone settled in the city, waiting for someone to take the book and start this mess, unless someone already did that.

“Lastly, we could go through boat, most of the time, the factions tend to ignore this method of transportation and with some luck we will not catch too attention while we arrive in good time.” This last method was one that combined practicality with stealth, but while that sounds good, there was no guarantee that there will not be someone at the port looking for you and it will take longer than the boat.

In the end, this was all about how you wanted to manage your safety by keeping yourself hidden versus your time, because the faster you got there the less enemies you will find. You could take a fast route to arrive fast, and face the enemies that are there who will know you are there, or take a slower route to sneak into the place but at the expense of your time, and face the enemies that will be prepared to fight but won’t know you are there.

But well at least Eden thought of this, knowing yourself, you would have just do the first thing that came to mind and just walk to Paris.

This was a tough one… plus you have to take into account the 345 days you have left until the year Mars gave you ends... do you really want to waste time?

So you will go by…

>Airplane [1 Day]
>Boat [3 Days]
>Walking [7 Days]
>Not go… [Abandon Side Quest?]

You have 345 Days remaining...

Also this is the final vote of the night, I will check later and remember to vote for the next Wise Up. If the thread is still up tomorrow, I might do some extra Wise Ups!

I'd say walk do we can see the wonderful world of urf.

But it's time to operate.

Kouga saint of Operators

>>33928946
>Boat [3 Days]

As much as I want to blitzkrieg this and just roll over anyone who made it there early, this seems more responsible.

I would chose walking but I fear that it will take to long

>Kouga: Saint of Mars 19 END

Next Time on Kouga Quest: Our hero the Black Pegasus, Kouga, and his friends arrive at Paris, where they head to find the Grimoire of the First Flame! But they are not alone in Paris, soon Kouga faces a covenant of fellow witches and understands the truth about his teacher, the witch Medea.

In the world of magic the word of a contract is law, by meeting Head of the Covenant of the Black Plume, Kouga will finally understand.

Also a bunch of other factions like the Mages, the Alchemists, the Dragoons, the Pallasites, the Marinas, the Angels and the Demons all come to kill Kouga, Paris will burn and someone will play the harp as you Bad End, but hey by now this should be normal.


The next arc finally starts, and Kouga finally starts to learn more about the world. Let Fire and Light cleanse the world and reveal the truth! That is why magic exists!

>Next time, City of Light (I), Fire is truly the light of the hearts of men...


With this we finish today's run of Kouga Saint of Mars, I hope everyone enjoyed it, and if they have critiques/questions, please leave them now and I will try to answer them as best as I can. Also vote for the next Wise Up if you haven't and also let me give you guys a hint.

>>33928971
Sorry, if someone would appear from that group it would be a certain lady of water... really you should have been nicer to her.

Just a hint, the Grimoire has two possible upgrades for the Evil Right, however they are exclusive upgrades and one can only be obtained by understanding defeat.

Well see you guys next time, got to sleep!

>what is wrong with this family?
They are all Love Freaks/Martyrs, and/or Tsunderes... it's in the genes. Also Good call, I really forgot about the Hanged Man, but it fits Sonia.

Wise Up: Other Gods that can be your friends!

You mean gods willing to ally with you, well it depends on what exactly you want to do. For example if you want to spread your darkness and teach others to use it, I am sure you could find several gods that would be willing to help you, starting with the Night Queen, Nyx.

Sadly that last one got looked behind a golden door, but lately I have been hearing that she is in the underworld, in Tartarus and that Orpheus has joined her...

But yeah, Gods could be willing to join you, but you will have to convince them to want to join you. Kind of like with Demons, all will depend on your negotiation skills.

So go and sweet talk those gods!

>Signed, Silberkreuz

PS: Convincing a god of a different faction/alignment to join you is hard, so don't bother. K!


Next WISE UP:
>How to win without fighting!
>The Journey of a Mage… The Goal of Magic.
>The Flame of Rebellion!
>The Glory of the Defeated…
>Can love be a curse?
>The Eternal Being called God.
>The Power of a Grimoire
>The Church and the Power of Light.
>Other?

>>33929734
>The Journey of a Mage… The Goal of Magic.
