Sun worshipers. Just uttering those two words caused a somewhat scornful look to cross her features. It was such an archaic form of belief and one that had absolutely no truth behind it whatsoever. So it was with little hesitation that she had agreed to aid in the annexation of a group of them who were currently in control of an area known as Mystic Tower. The job itself had come from a couple, whose daughter had foolishly been suckered in to the beliefs of the mages and had journeyed to the tower in hopes of enlightenment. Honestly, Medeia believed that the girl deserved her fate for falling for such a simple plot but the pair were offering a generous amount of jewels for her safe return, which had been enough to sway the angel. The girl continued to send messages to her parents but they were written in such a way that caused them to doubt whether they were genuine. They wanted her to be returned unharmed and the witch had no particular qualms with that but as for everyone else? Well, they could all be purified for their idiotic beliefs and burnt to the ground. Rather fitting for sun mages, if she said so herself. It sounded to her as though they were simply trying to pull off a brainwashing scheme of sorts, an area that she herself was pretty familiar with.
The trip to the tower itself had been rather uneventful with Medeia deciding to simply use her angelic wings in order to travel rather than use a mortal form of transportation. She always adored using her wings and even more so when she had a passenger, which she fortunately did today. The angel believed that she could have completed the task solo but had decided on a different course of action, instead asking a lovely member of the guild to help her with the job. The two had met at the Errings Rising Ball and Medeia had become rather fond of Akane in the short time that they had spoken. The slaughter that they were going to carry out today would be a nice way of getting to know each other and so she had invited her without a second thought. It would be an entertaining endeavour and the witch was always curious to see the abilities and skills of her fellow members. Well, the female ones anyway.
Eventually, the clouds would part and an enormous tower would come into view, decorated with symbols that clearly made its allegiance to the sun clear. The angel had to roll her eyes at the stupidity of it but they would learn soon enough. Her eyes locking on to a safe landing spot, Medeia would then descend, finally coming to a gentle stop on the ground.
“It is a shame that I have to let go of you so soon, my dear.” She uttered with a chuckle, her gaze turning to look at her beautiful guildmate.
The people around them seemed to have a rather glazed look about them which instantly set the angel off somewhat. A pathetic smile was plastered on each and every face, a look of bliss that caused her stomach to turn somewhat. One of them would even approach the pair and place a hand on his heart. “Welcome to the Tower Of The Sun. If you seek to begin on the road of enlightenment then please visit the…”
His words were suddenly cut off as the angel removed her sickle from its resting place and slashed him across the chest with it. He tumbled to the ground and yet still had that look of ecstasy on his face, even as he lay dying. “Hmm. A powerful form of mind control indeed.” She uttered, raising an eyebrow.
