Blasted Machine (Mission with Yuiisai)

Sol yawned as he walked thru the city of Tolgalen and he took a puff of his Kiseru before letting out a could of smoke that smelled of foxglove.”huh its rather dead outside today” he mumbled as he walked thru the streets and saw hardly anyone on them, however as he approached an alleyway a dull light caught his sight. There was a vending machine and as the vice president got closer he saw that it was full of all kinds of rare and discontinued food items before one thing suddenly caught his eyes and he grinned a bit.,”Dragon tea made with dragon fruit and green tea I havent had one in so long” he muttered to himself as he reached into his pocket to get the jewel needed to get the item.

As he put in the money and he hit the buttons Sols eyes lit up before they suddenly got upset when the machine stopped just short of giving him the drink he wanted and he growled as he poked the buttons again and nothing happened. He smacked the glass hoping it would cause the drink to unlodge and come to him but it did not move an inch. Sol felt increasingly frustrated and he grabbed the sides of the machine and violently shook it making sure to be careful not to tip it onto himself. Sadly the machines grip on his tea held strong and Sol was now fuming in front of the machine and he now felt cheated and irritated that somehow the machine was making a fool of him. "‘great I must look crazy shaking a machine for a simple drink” he growled as he crossed his arms and tapped his foot on the ground as he tried to think of a way to get his tea.

Yuiisai was in her room surrounded by her bright colourful silks and other entrappings, this was her life ever since she could remember but still it was different now, while in the pleasure district she had others she grew with and knew as her friends and family. Now all she had was the one who owned her and her two attendants, on occasion Feitan and others within the guild they had aligned with; though she wore a smile it was a mask she was terribly lonely. She had just moved to read a new book knowing that soon she should be resting as Sol and Aguya would soon start their daily training for five or six hours. While they trained Sol's favoured companion a machine by the name of Panzer was left in her room as an added protection and companion, little did she know that her day was about to take an odd turn of events as she heard her door being knocked on.

Sitting she blinked her eyes going to Panzer to see if he would react to what was behind the door, seeing him being calm she looked to the door petting the Panzer. "Come in?" she said closing her book surprised to see her male attendant entering. "Aguya? Is something wrong? I thought you would be training or at least making your way to it by now, did something happen?" her tone showed she was confused by his presence but he shook his head a smile on his lips as he bowed standing as Yuiisai returned it "No my lady, I came baring some good news." he said his deep forest green eyes keeping contact with her own milky jade blue ones. "Baring good news?" she repeated as he helped her to her her mirrors where he started dealing with her hair "Please tend to your make-up." he said calmly stopping as she turned and crossed her arms a little "Not til you tell me what is going on Aguya." she said he tone showing that she was frustrated with not being told what was going on "There's a market from Terra Ignis and Midi." he said with a smile knowing that this was what his homesick lady most likely needed to raise he spirits.

"T-truly?" her eyes going wide while her tone showed disbelief seeing him nod she instantly turned around and started to deal with her makeup allowing Aguya to tend to her hair, when both were suitably done she stood and walked to him towards the market enjoying the warm light breeze that passed by. Seeing Aguya stop suddenly she couldn't help but do the same thing her eyes going to where he was looking only to see Sol getting what could only be described as overly aggressive with a vending machine. "Aguya what is he doing?" she asked looking back to the taller male "He's old and senile it's to be expected." he said sighing shaking his head making towards Sol to stop him from damaging what he believed was company property his eyes moved behind him glad to see that Yuiisai was remaining close to him. "My lord, have you went so senile that you must attack a vending machine?" he asked truly thinking he had lost his marbles.

Sols ears perked when he heard Aguya voice and the word senile and he felt a vein in his head throb, he was already having a bad time with a vending machine but he didn’t need Aguyas jabbing on top of it.”” he growled before he then heard the boy question if he was so senile that he needed to attack a vending machine.”it ate my money I payed for my tea I’m getting my damn tea” he explained before he once again shook the machine but still it did not spit out his bottle of tea and the dragon finally got fed up before he growled a delivered a sharp kick to the machine.”Come On!” he snapped before the machine suddenly made a very odd noise and it seemed like it was malfunctioning before it suddenly did something suprising.

It got a different drink and it then proceeded to fire said drink at Sol but sadly it hit him right between the legs. While Sol was a powerful mage and a mighty dragon king he was still male and the glass bottle hitting him instantly knocked him to the ground and he felt his breath leave him as he grimiced in pain. After a moment he was able to get a few breaths and he then looked at Aguya with a serious glare.” you make a crack about what just happened and I will triple your training regime “ he growled thru clenched teeth as he started to stand up and he noticed that the machine seemed to be loading something new and the dragon was now wondering if something he did caused the machine to come to life or if it just wanted to make him miserable.

Aguya blinked hearing what Sol had said about it eating his money and not giving him the drink he so desired, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at how childish the other sounded and was currently acting. "I almost wish it was the fact you where going senile at least there would be a logical explanation to your childish behaviour." he said calmly sighing afterwards "You're acting like a hatchling." he said with a somewhat smug smile and tone, he was constantly being called it by the other but now it seemed like the tables had turned and he could get his own back. "It was only a few jewel I'm sure, nothing to get so worked up over so why not just leave it." he said shrugging as he turned back to look at Yuiisai "And this is what happens when you're a dark mage for to long who stays on a snowy mountain that doesn't dress correctly for the weather." he warned the one he served, Yuiisai remained silent not wanting to say anything that may offend Sol but she could understand where her attendant was coming from.

Yuiisai's blue milky jade eyes turned and looked to Sol as she heard a strange noise only to see him shake the vending machine "I don't think it's going to like to be shook Sol, I'm sure it has feelings too." she said calmly moving over to stop him but stopped after the first few steps as he stopped shaking it and kicked it. "S-Sol... don't do that, it'll get angry or you'll hurt and damage it." she pleaded with him, the only machine she had ever had interaction with was Sol's companion Panzer who seemed to be sentient and have feelings so she believed that every machine was the same way. "Besides, its owner may get mad at you." she finished only to hear the vending machine give off a strange noise, Aguya instinctively moved in front of Yuiisai hearing that was where the noise was coming from; what they where met with made Aguya chuckle a little.

It had seemed what Yuiisai had said had come to fruition and the machine was tired of being manhandled thus launched a filled glass bottle of soda from itself hitting Sol squarely in his own jewels. "Well my lady did warn you it would likely get angry, seems it did." he chuckled picking up the bottle and checking the label "Messor's grapefruit and kiwi juice." he said moving to put the bottle out of the way lest they be accused of littering. It was then he heard the threat of his training being increased if he made any comments about the dragonic king brought to his knees he couldn't help it. "First a boat now and now a vending machine... at least we know the kind of enemies we need to keep away from you my lord." he chuckled "Transportation and machines... how did you live so long?" he had to ask the other because he was truly astonished he was known through out Fiore as one of the up and coming dark mages at one point. "Perhaps you should apologise Sol.." Yuii said to him her head popping out from behind Aguya as she believed the machine was reloading with something else ready to hit him again if he didn't.

Sol growled at the machine while Aguya jabbed at him saying that he was being childish and a hatchling which made Sol glare at his servent.” Aguya knock it off Im not acting like a child besides considering how rare some of these things are Im kinda irritated that it wont give me the drink I want” he said before he heard Aguya mention him being a dark mage and the dragon instantly grew serious and he narrowed a death glare at the younger member of his species.”Hatchling if your going to being up my past then do me a favor and shut your mouth” he said his tone icy showing he didn’t not like his past being brought up.”I know what I did was wrong but I don’t need you rubbing it in my face” he added as he crossed his arms.
As Yuii tried to comfort him but when he kicked it she asked him to stop since it might have feelings.”Yuii this machine is not like Panzer this thing is far more simple but right now I just want my damn drink” he said as he got ready to kick the machine.

As Sol was on the ground I pain the machine seemed to target not just him but then fired two bottles of liquid at both Aguya and Yuiisai though Sol managed to knock away the one aimed at Yuii.”Aguya when we get home you and I are training the whole damn day. Yuii Ill take you out to perhaps Terra Ignis or Midi to make it up to you… Ow” he grunted at then end as he still felt the painful ache in his body before he started to get up again.”Im not going to apologize im going to bust the damn thing and get my drink!” he said getting loud as he paid attention to the machine again only for it to fire two more bottles and caught him square in the jewels again with both. "It keeps hitting me in the dick WHY WHY DOES IT KEEP HITTING ME IN THE DICK!”he yelled as he hit the ground again trying to stop the pain in his lower region

Aguya sighed looking at Sol his left eyebrow raising for a moment as he crossed his arms, he couldn't believe how petty the other was being and over a stupid drink. He was far older than both himself and more so than his lady yet was acting more childish than most toddlers who had been told they couldn't have a cookie. It was pathetic in his opinion, the dragon king? It was more like the dragon fool, he was ashamed to be of the same race right now that was for sure. He did listen to the other but all he could do was shake his head thinking him an idiot, more so as he tried to justify what he was doing "My lord, no matter how you try to justify what you are doing it is still vandalism." he said gently sighing just wanting to get his lady out of there so she didn't get into trouble for something he was doing "And my lord, just because you are of a position of power now within the trading company doesn't put you above the law... if anything you are now always being watched; and we both know they took a huge risk taking you in..." he paused for a second "Last thing that needs to be seen is this from a normal company member but of a member of management with your past that's asking for trouble." he ended knowing that it likely not get stuck in the others empty head.

Hearing that one word he flinched his eyes going between the one he served for a quick moment before he turned to glare back at Sol, they had come to an arrangement that he would never be called such things in front of her. He had been at Yuiisai's side since she was five years old and never once had he told her his true heritage, this was his decision and what he believed was the right thing to protect her. Sol and Aguya had reached an agreement and now he had just broken it, he knew for a fact his lady may be innocent on how the outside world worked but she wasn't dumb in the least bit. "How dare you!" his voice angry as he balled his hands keeping direct contact as he tried to keep his temper in check, it was one part of his heritage he hated. He was part poison dragon and had the bad temper to prove it. "Not everything revolves around you! I spoke those words as a warning you idiot... you may not have realised it but she has been in touch with Ahote!" he all but yelled "There is more than you whom has been or is a dark mage so shut up and don't get involved in things that does not concern yo..." he was about to continue when he felt a gentle hand in his instantly calming as he looked to Yuiisai's small hand.

He turned to look at her then seen the worry and fear in her eyes, that was right she had never seen him angry. With a silent sigh he bowed low "Forgive me my lady, I did not mean to lose my temper." he said quietly to her truly ashamed at how her had just acted in front of her but liars and betrayers got to him more than mostly anything else. He guessed he suited that damned dark guild in one respect, damn his impure blood and heritage, after a moment he stood straight his eyes narrowed at Sol "I was rubbing nothing in your face, if you wanted me to I have more than using a that part of your past you fool." he huffed once more but turned his head when he felt Yuiisai's warmth on him trying her best to comfort and calm him, his arms moved around her hugging her close how he wished this mock of a dragon king would just give up her contract so they could leave and never look back. He knew their previous way of life wasn't conventional and many may have even seen it as a form of cruelty and abuse but there was very little crime, the courtesan where taken care of and everyone was happy. He had seen the dark changes within his lady since they had been removed from their home, to him this was what was cruel and abusive but there was nothing that could be done about it.

Yuiisai looked to Sol from within the folds of Aguya's hanfu as he spoke knowing that if Aguya was this angry and upset about something he wouldn't let it go easily. Yuiisai frowned at the words he had just said, he was being damned foolish and headstrong "Sol, just because something may not be as intelligent as other things doesn't mean it doesn't have feelings!" she snapped at him before covering her mouth with her hands, she didn't mean for it to come out like that but she couldn't stand those with a superiority complex. "A flower may not seem to be intelligent but if you ask someone of nature they will tell you that they are, this machine may not be like Panzer but it still might feel... you know?" her voice was soft but it quivered as tears fell from her eye, who was he to play god to deem what was intelligent and what wasn't? She wanted to go home were everything was just so, that there was happiness, bright colours and music... how she missed that. Hearing the machine starting to reload Aguya stood still listening intently "I will not be returning anytime soon today, I am taking my lady to the festivities in the festival square." he said just as the last few words escaped his lips he took a few steps back as bottles came towards him and Yuiisai but missed them both. "Maybe because you're abusive towards it." Yuiisai said in a matter of fact way because it was sure as hell going for him hard.

The moment the word Hatchling left Sols lips he realized he had messed up and it seemed that Aguya relized that as well as he suddenly became very angry and was practically yelling at him before he mentioned something that Sol did not know and that was that Yuiisai had been in contact with Ahote which instantly made the dragons eyes snap towards his servent and his eyes were not angry but worried and questioning .”Still Aguya you know I have temperment issues and what you said didn’t help me at the time! Ill admit I messed up but you didn’t exactly help in keeping my temper down with those words” he snapped back at the younger of his species. When Yuii seemed to have fear and worry in her eyes not only did Aguya feel bad but Sol instantly  felt his temper drop as he felt guilt.”please forgive him Yuii I was at fault... Im Sorry” he said quietly as he dropped his head in shame.

As Yuiisai scolded him Sol could only sigh as he knew he had messed up and he had gone too far. All he had wanted was a drink and now he had upset both of the people he cared greatly for. Sometimes he cursed his temperment and the anger he carried inside him, his locket hung around his belt and it pulsed  few times as it reigned in his anger. He needed a solution soon to find inner peace or he worried that his anger would be a bad problem in the future. The moment he saw his servants eyes water though Sols guilt increased as he had not meant to upset her and now he felt guilt in his heart..

Sol suddenly felt the machine hit him in the back with another bottle and he growled for a moment before he delivered a powerful kick and the  machine seemed to take aim at both yuii and aguya again before it started to fire snacks and bottles at them rapidly before Sol finally got in front of it before he started to slam his fists into it multiple times.However after the third time the machine suddenly sprouted feet and it dashed at all three of them before Sol would quickly grab both of them and use his shadow drive to make them intangible as it passed before it moved out into the street.”ah crap now I gotta chase after it.” he said before he let go of both Yuii and Aguya and he looked at Yuii for a moment.”are you ok Yuii?” he asked with concern since he hadn’t meant for her to be harms way.

Even if the other believed it to be sudden that was far from the case, he had hid his lineage not just because it had been the rules of the district he had once belonged but for his and more importantly Yuiisai's safety and it had most certainly been undone because of an idiot who thought everything revolved around him. His forest green green eyes glaring at the one whom owned him through proxy, how he wished for his death at that precise moment. "You really are an idiot, you realise not everything revolves around you right. You realise you are no longer a dark mage and there are other things more important than you and that damned ego of yours, right." he continued to speak it was clear he was annoyed but his voice remained calm as much as he wanted to punch the other in the face but it seemed that the vending machine was doing all the work for him. "You act like an impudent child when you can't get what you want and like a spoilt bratty princeling when challenged..." his voice stern and cold as he spoke "Grow up or return to your dark ways where it was accepted." he said showing he wasn't taking his attitude any longer, it was about time he realised that there was more than him in the universe and he most certainly wasn't the centre of it.

Hearing the others words about his temper all he could do was laugh coldly "Oh that's what you want to call it?" he said glaring "I call that a damned plague, just like the poisons you carry!" it was not a secret to Sol that he despised poison dragons and so hated himself for even being half poison, he had always been careful never to use his poisons near his lady afraid he would hurt her. "Get it under control or you are nothing more than a damn danger to her and the one you apparently care for... they'll get hurt!" the gloves were off and he knew this had to be said as even though he could lose his temper like anyone else he was still mindful of his poisons and words, he served a higher authority and seen it as his task to protect it even if it meant he would get hurt to do it; he didn't care.

"Like I said jester king, you aren't a dark mage any longer nor where you the only one on that mountain that didn't dress appropriately for the elements so I suggest you clean your damn ears out." Aguya was getting sick of Sol, he hadn't been a fan of him since Yuiisai's removal from their home as even a blind person could see she may have had the power to survive in this world; but she as a person was never meant to be part of it. He seen her light even now becoming more and more dull and wondered just how long it would be before she wilted into nothing, this train of thought saddened him not that he would say anything to their apparent lord. To the younger dragon if he cared for Yuiisai in anyway he would have taken her back to the district and walked away. "I wasn't speaking of you but I could if you wished me to... the many skeletons in your closet, the dark deeds that made you a well known dark mage through out Fiore, what you done to gain your title and power... I know it all and I would happily tell her if I didn't think it would make her afraid of you and give her nightmares thus turning her into a threat and so a target." he had went and studied up on the one he served through archives and asked the earth as everything in nature was connected. "I thought my father was a bastard, then I met you." he said turning his eyes away, he had made sure to cover Yuiisai's ears the entire time not wanting to upset her with anything he had said to Sol especially with the tones he had used.

When Aguya stopped speaking he removed his hands from her ears, just in time for her to hear Sol's apology. She had wondered why her ears had been covered but thought it was something important that she wasn't meant to hear and so didn't push matters. She looked away remaining quiet, she was no longer in the mood for the market or the festivities it surely had; she just wanted to go back to her room and be left alone. Yuiisai hugged to Aguya the tears falling as she felt the pulses from the locket her lithe frame shaking "Should we return my lady?" he asked his voice as calm as it normally was to her, he already knew the likely answer but didn't want to assume anything. She was about to speak when she heard Sol's gasp, before she was able to do anything Sol had already hit the vending machine several more times. Not long after that she had found herself and Aguya being tackled to the ground, taring sounds coming from the silk hanfu she wore.

Yuiisai seen what had just happened and brought her wrists together twisting them in quick elegant movements as she concentrated on the vending machine four coloured orbs seen in her eyes, each representing the elements she herself could use within her magic. On the ground under her appeared a seal, that shifted between her elements, from the seal a mist started to arise creating what seemed to be tendrils. Normally this would look beautiful but she was in no mood right now to make them 'pretty' instead the mist tendrils quickly moved towards the machine and entwined around it keeping it in place. Aguya helped her up before dashing towards the machine, his katana quickly drawn from its scabbard as he started to slice a part off the machine. He now seen it as a threat to his lady and so it needed to be eliminated quickly so they could get back to the castle. Hearing Sol's words she done nothing more than look away, no she wasn't okay how could she be with the goings on.

Sol couldn’t help but feel the guilt increase with every word that Aguya said to him and he made him question himself, had he really changed at all or was he the still the same selfish dragon he had always been. With Aguya tone getting cold and his anger seemed to stay while he told Sol to either grow up or return to the darkness and as he said those words Sols locket pulsed strongly as Sol felt pain shoot thru his body right from where his heart was located. Sol gritted his teeth and looked down as Aguya kept ripping into him by laughing and compareing his temper to a plague and the poisons he used.”Aguya stop” he whispered almost so quietly no one would hear it as his locket pulsed quicker sensing Sols erratic emotions and his emotional pain.

It seemed that Aguya was on a roll as he mentioned that if he didn’t get it together he would end up harming Yuiisai and Sophitia and at those words the locket pulsed so strongly it that it would be heard by both Sol and Aguya as Sol tried to calm himself down and stop the pain that was starting to run thru his body.”Stop” he said a bit louder but it was not in anger but slight desperation. It was when the younger dragon mentioned his dark deeds and what he had done in the past and mentioned he could tell Yuiisai that before stating that he thought his father was a bastard till he had met Sol that Sol felt the pain become almost unbearable and he finally couldn’t take it.”Wahl Nii Vuth! “ he screamed out in pure desperation as the locket suddenly gain a small crack in it as Sol actually grabbed his chest as he refused to look Aguya or Yuiisai in the eyes out of guilt and shame .

Sol stayed still for a moment as the locket kept pulsing and he felt tears threaten to fall as he could only wonder what was causing this.” what did father say again? something about my heart but I don’t understand why can’t I remember” he muttered more to himself then to the two. Sol recalled his father Ballom telling him something vital about their species and something extremely important about his heart but the memory was very fuzzy and the pain Sol was feeling was not helping him at all. Right now his emotions were all over the place and while he still felt anger it was rapidly shifting between shame and sadness and at the moment it show no signs of stopping at all. Little did the dragon know that far away somewhere in the Phoenix Mountains a cloaked figure suddenly turned his head towards the direction of where Sol screamed before he headed in that general direction.

As he heard Yuiisai’s clothing rip as he managed to keep them from being struck by the vending machine Sol instantly felt even worse as he looked at Yuii with sad eyes.”Yuiisai Im Sorry I didn’t mean to rip your Hanfu” he said before they all then turned their attention on the vending machine. As Aguya slashed at the machine while Yuiisai used her magic to keep it in place, Sol quickly used his chain Enkidu and sent it from its portal towards the machine and it struck the machine three times in rapid suggestion. Sol focused on getting his emotions under control and get his locket to stop pulsing. He got the feeling something bad was going to happen to him but what he couldn’t figure out.

Aguya's expression hadn't changed this whole situation just pissed him off, he wanted to be back within the district of Terra Ignis that he and Yuiisai called home. When he heard Sol asking him to stop, he just had to wonder who he was to ask such a thing of him, he had done so much damage and it hadn't seemed to have seeped into the dimwitted elder or his races head. Since being abducted from the pleasure district the one he served had common contact but with four people, this changed to three when they left the castle as she could no longer see Ahote. To the attendant that boy was more hassle than he was worth and was surprised that he was still breathing given just how pathetic a specimen he seemed to be, always looking at his feet and stumbling over his words. Still at the same time he had been the only person his lady had opened up to and befriended, he guessed that there was a connection she could see that he couldn't. He would have asked but it wasn't his place, she had been happier even if it was a little and didn't want to take something she seemed to need from her.

"I don't think you've changed in the slightest given that kami forsaken ego of yours..." he huffed crossing his arms "What's next you'll expect people to worship you as a god, or let me guess they've already started." he hated the servants in the castle that seemed to kiss his ass all they where, were yes men who seemingly couldn't think for themselves. He often wondered if that is why they had been kept around, to add to Sol's delusions of grandeur. He knew he was trying to change from the person that he had once been but still he kept Yuiisai bound to her contract like a slave, gave her a beautiful room with items to keep her content like a bird; allowed to go out when the owner allowed it but always had to come back. It didn't sit well with him more so as since she was taken from her previous life she had hurt, manipulated and killed people at his orders. These orders had taken a toll on her an yet somehow she remained herself, he knew different though. He had heard her prayers asking for forgiveness through tear filled eyes, he had heard her sobbing while asking why was she cursed to such a path and even whimpering as she fell asleep. The once beautifully pure flower adored and respected by the community she grew in was now splattered with carmine water, Aguya had to wonder if the other knew the damage he had done or if he even cared.

Again he heard the other asking for his verbal onslaught to end but he just wanted to get everything was out, but held back for now hearing Yuiisai yelp a little he stopped holding her close, only then did his words cease. "We'll continue this later my lord, I am not holding my tongue back with you any longer. It is time to hear some home truths and stop acting like a self entitled noble." he said coldly once he and Yuiisai were up and attacking very little seemed to matter to them, they wanted this infernal thing gone and they cared little for how it was going to happen. Yuiisai then began to dance to a song that only she seemingly heard, in truth not even she heard any music but knew the steps needed to activate the spell she believed she needed as the machine seemingly broke through the tendrils. As she danced golden and red mists seemed to come from her body and aimed towards the enemy at hand, the rip in her hanfu not even registering at the current time. It hadn't even occurred to her that this was a machine and so didn't breath, however, it did have a fan and drew in air to keep itself cool. The almost invisible to the eye light shards was still drawn into the machine and started to vibrate none the less starting to cause internal issues to the machine as heard when it started to make strange noises out of nowhere.

Aguya pulled back from the machine hearing the odd noises as he had no idea what to expect, but then seen his lady dance and knew that this was indeed her doing. he decided this was the time to prevent the thing running, so dug his sword into the ground creating what seemed like thorn covered roots to break through the ground and aiming towards the vending machine wrapping around it to keep it in place. The thorns so strong that they started to dent the metal and broke through the glass at the front, he was starting to hate this day the longer it continued and this current situation seemed to have come around because Sol had decided that he couldn't let a few jewel go, he had to have that drink for some dumb reason. Which lead to him hitting the machine several times and the machine taking offence and hitting back, thus putting himself and his lady in danger just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This was another reason he hated Sol so much he seemed to put his own selfish wants and desires above others safety, it was about time he realised he was no longer a dark mage and he had responsibilities he needed to live up to.

Sols emotions was in disarray and Aguyas words were not helping him as he felt his negative emotions gripping at his mind and his heart and the locket was now not just pulsing it was throbbing intensely as he struggeled to keep control.”Aguya I don’t want that I’m not that person anymore ..Im not” he said though his tone showed he was struggling to keep control. However once Aguya jabbed him on wanting to be seen as a god and guessing that it has already started did Sol snapped for just a fraction of a second, his eyes suddenly locked onto Aguyas and his sclera had turned pitch black while his pupils had turned into thin red slits as he spoke one two words and what was rather frightening was that Sol did not yell nor did he raise his voice for it. His voice was calm but the tone was deathly serious and it was almost as if you had death itself speaking to you.”Aguya Enough” he intoned for a second before his eyes went back to normal and he suddenly took a deep breath as he realized for that split second he had let his control slip and he turned his attention back to the younger dragon as he spoke again.
“very well but when you do continue I need to have a restraint for my negative emotions. To do so without a restraint puts everyone in danger, Im not asking for my sake I am asking for Yuiisais and yours as well.” He explained his eyes and tone showed he was serious. He then spoke again.Ill listen to your anger though I also plan on having you meet someone but I need to get into contact with him first… and knowing him Im gonna get a thrashing for being out of touch.” He explained as he rubbed the back of his head. Knowing what awaited him Sol mentally resigned himself to his fate. The main things right now was getting this machine taken down and then getting back to the castle where he could calm down, his emotions were chaotic and he knew that if his father saw him he would lecture him along with giving him a well earned thrashing.’ Im going to be sore as hell when he sees me again but its not like I don’t deserve it. Honestly sometimes I think I need to be knocked around to stay on the right track’ he thought to himself as he cloaked his arms in Godslayer poison and he dashed at the machine while Yuiisai used her magic against and then Aguya used his swords abilitys to make thorns to restrain the rouge machine.

Sol made sure to wait until both Yuiisai and Aguyas spells had ended before he got close enough and he quickly delivered four strikes to the machine and after that he jumped back while he held his arms out and the poison that had leaked into the machine due to his spell suddenly started to make the machine start burning as it smoked and seemed to have issue moving and it seemed to be breaking down with every attack the trio dealt to it. Sol could not help but feel his frustration rise with every attempt to put the machine down and it seemed like it never wanted to give up and die.’ Gah and this is all because I wanted a fucking drink why is it whenever I want to do anything it tends to blow up in my face, now I have Yuiisai and Aguya mad, this thing trying to hurt the three of us and to top it all off it doesn’t want to kick the bucket. I swear Im gonna hear this from Cirven if im lucky and if not Ruvels gonna tear into me like there is no tomorrow’ he thought with dread. This was supposed to be easy with no issues but Sol lost his temper and it seemed like it always bit him on the behind when it happened. " I want this to be done and over with why is this thing still working” he growled as he got ready to strike once again.

Aguya couldn't really care if Sol's emotions were in disarray or not, where was his thoughts, feelings and emotions when he decided to up root himself and his lady from the place that they called home for most of their lives? He showed no mercy to what they actually wanted so why should he give a damn about his emotions or what he wanted? Aguya's eyes flashed when the other proclaimed not to be that person anymore, but it was more like he was trying to reassure himself than the attendant or Yuiisai. "You are always going to be that vile, poisonous, slimy snake that you where when we first met as far as I'm concerned." his voice a low cold growl at the other, he knew that the house owner wouldn't have given up his lady for anything meaning that Sol had to have done something; even if that something wasn't killing him. There had been a lot of nobles willing to pay a kings ransom to buy her contract and each time it had been declined, he knew it was because there was more money in keeping her than if he sold her off to another place or person. "I know you didn't gain her contract legitimately and as soon as I find out how you managed it then I will find a way to free her from you once and for all, mark my words." he was a stubborn person but that was due to his earthen heritage.

Aguya was indeed caught off guard by the other's change in voice and instinctively put himself between Sol and Yuiisai "Or what? You're going to beat me?" his eyes narrowed at the perceived threat "Go right ahead, I can already tell you I've been through far worse than what you've ever thrown at me!" his words showed an icy chilling anger at him, this had made Yuiisai stop and look at the two, the energy they were letting off scaring her to the point she had stopped what she was doing. "You care nothing for us you selfish son of a bitch." he growled "If you did you wouldn't have taken us from the place where we had been safe and happy!" it was that simple to Aguya as he had been paying so much attention on Sol he hadn't realised that the machine that had been forced to tumble over was now back on its feet once more so to speak. He shook his head to the want of him to meet someone Sol knew "Like hell I will! I was content, happy before I met you and So was she, then you came along and play god deciding what was best for us both because you wanted some new tools at your disposal! You know what?! We're people! We have feelings! emotions! wants! desires! dreams!" he yelled at the other not noticing that the machine had taken aim and shot a bottle right at Yuiisai sending her flying forward a rip heard within the silk of her clothing.

Aguya's eye went wide for a moment before he ran towards the stunned Yuiisai, he couldn't believe that he allowed his anger and frustration towards Sol get to the point that he forgot what his true purpose was. Kneeling he brought Yuiisai to himself holding her close before checking her over "I'm sorry my lady, I should have put all that aside for now and made sure you where safe." he confessed helping her to her feet not caring that the damn machine had ran off again. Yuii looked down not realising that her clothing had been damaged once more but upset that she had been knocked hard into a wall and that the one person that was meant to protect her hadn't been. "I want to go home Aguya and when there I want to be left alone for the rest of the day." this wasn't like her and Aguya knew that, he knew that this was a punishment for him and where he didn't like it he knew he couldn't argue against her. "Yes my lady, but first might I suggest we take care of the overgrown piece of scrap metal that started these issues." he asked knowing that it would bother her the moment that she realised her clothing was damaged. Yuiisai just really wanted to go home but in the grand scheme of things she gave into his request and nodded walking the same way that the machine went. Aguya gave another glare at Sol and followed picking up his sword along the way, he didn't care if he would be in punishment for a while he just wanted to be away from Sol and wanted her away from him too no matter the cost. Yuiisai eventually stopped at a cross way as she had no idea which way to go, the vending machine could have taken any one of five paths to get away from them. "My lady?" he asked seeming slightly confused. "I lost it and don't know which way to go." she said in return watching as Aguya pointed to the second street "Going by the gumballs on the ground it when down there." he commented, Yuiisai looked down the street the other had pointed to and sure enough there where several different coloured orb sweets on the ground; seeing this she continued following the trail knowing it would lead them to it.

Sol was struggling to keep himself in control and Aguya was not helping him out at all as he brought up that he would always be the same snake he was when they first met.”I am not that person Aguya Im trying to be better then I was  I don’t want to be that monster anymore!” he said trying to get the young dragon to let up on him since his locket was still pulsing none stop and he needed to calm down or bad things would happen, Aguya kept pushing and said that he intended to free her of his grasp when he got the chance since he knew Sol had not gained  it by legal means. At that Sol glared at him but he kept silent since he knew that the young dragon would want that but Sol knew also that if he let both of them go it was a risk not only to them but to the company was well since they knew people and Basilisk Fang would hunt them and Sol could not always be around to guard them.

Aguya seemed to get cautious of him when he snapped and he then questioned if he was going to beat him and said that he had been thru worse then anything Sol had ever thrown at him and Sol growled.” Don’t question what I could do you don’t understand what I keep locked away or restrained for your safety and for her Child I keep limiters on myself for a reason” he explained as he helled at him Sol narrowed his eyes.”Do Not Say I do not care Aguya!  I took Yuiisai because I saw potential in her potential I saw wasted being some mans golden goose! And as for you I took you because your are her attendant and she needed you did you think I was going to be stupid and separate you two no I was not” he snapped at him before he relized that he was scaring Yuiisai and he took a deep breath to calm himself a bit.”No more of this Aguya we are scaring her” he said simply before Aguya then yelled at him and Sol felt his temper flare before he yelled right back at him.

“I AM NOT PLAYING GOD AND I DO NOT SEE YOU TWO AS TOOLS IF I DID WOULD I HAVE TAKEN YOU TWO AWAY FROM BASILISK FANG!? NO I WOULD HAVE STAYED BUT I TOOK YOU TWO AWAY TO TRY TO MAKE THINGS BETTER TO CHANGE WHO I WAS SO I COULD BE SOMEONE THAT COULD BE LOOKED UP TO NOT FEARED.  I RELIZED THAT I MADE A MISTAKE  WITH YOU AND WITH HER AND I SET OUT TO FIX IT AND ALL YOU CAN DO KEEP BRINGING UP MY MISTAKES . I KNOW YOUR PEOPLE  I KNOW THAT” he bellowed at him venting his frustration.”I don’t want her to see me as a monster I want her to see me as someone better I want Yuiisai to see the good in me and no matter what I do I keep messing up” he said very quietly almost so that only he could hear it.

Once Sol saw the machine fire a bottle and hit Yuiisai with it he suddenly felt his anger peak again and the locket gave one weak pulse before it finally gave out temporarily. Instantly Sol eyes went back to black and red and his expression became one of eerie calmness.  He started to move towards the direction of where the machine went and if Yuiisai or Aguya saw Sols eyes they would see murderous rage hidden under a mask of calmness as he saw Aguyas glare and his glare that he gave back was so fearsome that it could potentially kill a lesser man.” Stop glaring at me and keep her from taking another hit child  Im finishing this” he stated his tone calm and caculated as his gaze turned to Yuiisai for a moment and despite his current mindset his eyes flashed and held a protective look in them before he turned his attention back to the direction he had come from ." I need to finish this and then contact father “ he said more to himself then to either of them.  He followed the two as he saw the trail of gumballs and he followed Yuiisai before he spotted the machine and he moved ahead of her and Aguya  though he was careful of Yuiisai as he moved. ”Im done playing with this thing Im going to end it right here right now” he stated his demenor was still rather eerie since he had gone from being furious to being surprisingly calm and collected.  He started to approach the machine which fired a bottle at him before he suddenly knocked it out of the air like it was a baseball and he rushed forward before he started to impale the machine with his hands which had gained scales and claws and he ripped into the machine with no mercy as he started to claw at wires and  ripping pieces of metal out of the machine as the dragon focused on it with intent to finish it off once and for all.  The more that Sol struck the weaker the machine seemed to get as Sol gutted its wires and circuits with  his claws and all the while his face remained calm and focused not even bothered with the angry beeps the machine was making as he ripped more and more out of the machine. After a few more moments Sol noticed the machine was growing weaker and weaker and eventually it stopped moving and the lights were bearly on in the machine before it seemed like it was almost dead and the dragon quickly moved to another part of the machine and ripped it wide open as the machine glowed bright for a moment before it finally ceased functioning and vended the drink that Sol wanted as he picked it up and he looked at it for a moment before he grumbled and tossed the drink into a shadow portal.

After he did that Sol took a breath to calm him and the locket managed to restore its strength before Sols eyes reverted back to normal as he took a few deep breaths to restore the control he had lost and he saw the state of the machine and he relized that his hands were still in a transformed state before he reverted them back as he felt shame hit him hard. "I lost control and I destroyed the machine without mercy. I should have listened this thing could have been like Panzer and I just killed it what have I done” he questioned as he hung his head in shame. He grabbed his locket and he glared at it as he was just a hair away from crushing it in his hands as he felt frustration build.”What good is a locket to seal dark emotion if it cant even do what it is designed to do” he said before he let it go and it fell back to his side and it would show the broken side to Aguya and Yuiisai before Sol simply  touched the machine while he kept his back to Yuiisai and Aguya not  wanting to meet their gaze.

Sol was struggling with the guilt that he felt now. He always had trouble with his dark emotions and that was a given since he had stopped his evil deeds on a time but he never considered what his former life had done to him and the mark it had made. He had been in the dark of Basilisk Fang for so long it left him with  many nasty tendencys such as enjoying someones pain and taking joy in the ending of life but he could not continue such things in the guild he was in now but he couldn’t get rid of them as well so fast. He had kept such things under restraint but it was clear without limiters on him Sol had a monster in him still, he had a monster in him that wanted to kill and harm others without limit and without a  care in the world. Such a thing made Sol fearful deep down since he knew if he ever truly lost control without anyone to reel him back in who knows if he could ever break out of the dark grip of the beast inside. Right now the only thing Sol could think to do was apologize to the machine and then go to try and calm down. It was clear that Yuiisai was upset and Aguya was furious with him and he would give them their space but as it stood Sol needed to relax and calm down before he set about getting a new limiter and working on growing up like Aguya said he needed to do.”I’m sorry I didn’t mean to go this far I wanted to stop you and I ended up ripping you apart without mercy please… be at peace” he said softly gently closing his eyes and blocking out anything but his hope that the machine was no longer suffering but was now at peace.

While Sol had his eyes closed he actually had to question If he had to take such a route with this machine.’Why did I have to destroy the machine I wanted to stop it and I just wanted my drink but could I have done something better or made a better choice?’ he questioned internally before another internal voice called back to him.’You didn’t have a choice it attacked you know what you have to do in the face of an enemy you can’t hesitate you had to put it down’ the other voice retorted in a darker tone before Sol mentally shook his head at the response. ‘no I could have made a different choice I didn’t need to rip it apart Aguyas right I need to grow up and stop acting like a rash child I made a foolish choice and now look what it did to everyone’ he thought before the other voice decided to jab him again.

‘it attacked you and Aguya and Yuiisai it managed to harm her you couldn’t let that slide why do you think I came out you couldn’t stand the thought of her harmed. Remember what has kept you alive when an enemy is before you do not hesitate put them down!’ the dark voice chided. ‘but its not the same as it was back then I don’t have to be so ruthless’ he countered before the dark voice again shut him down.’you always need that mentality how else would you have survived on the streets struggling to gain enough food to survive you weren’t strong enough so you had to learn what you needed to survive don’t try to say that you didn’t because we both know you did!’ it countered and Sol had to admit that the voice was right. At this current moment Sol could only wish he was anywhere but here in at the corner of this street in Tolgalen, the street was rather empty for the time of day and the merchants were packing up for the day while customers were heading home to their familys. However the sunny day that had been consistent suddenly seemed to vanish as dark clouds rolled in.

Sol blinked a bit as he opened his eyes and felt rain droplets start to hit his skin before the rain just cut loose and started to soak both Sol along with Yuiisai and Aguya and Sol felt his mood drop and get even worse.’God why..why is this happening to me and to them. I know I made a mistake but it just feels like not only is this situation making me feel like hell but now even the weather is against me’ he could only complain internally as the rain soaked his hair and made it drop into his face as his ruby eyes just seemed to darken to a dark garnet color along with his mood. Sol just wanted to be back home in the castle where he could be dry and also where he could relax In one of the multiple spots in the castle he favored, he thought about possibly having a soak in the hotspring or perhaps going into the library and studying more about seals and different languages and cultures. Sol even considered just going to the training area inside the castle and working himself to the bone until he collapsed just so he had something to distract him and a way to vent his current emotions.’I just want to get away from this I wanted a drink and now I have to deal with all this turmoil why can’t I just have one easy day’ he grumbled mentally.

Sol turned and he looked at Aguya and Yuiisai for only a moment before he turned to head home.” I’m going back to the castle Ill see you two there” he said though his tone was almost hollow as he felt exhausted mentally physically and emotionally as he had shifted from angry to sad to furious to guilty in rapid succession and he just wanted it to be over and to go home where he could focus on calming down and then he could focus on finding another limiter for his emotions since at this point the locket had failed its task utterly.
