Word play and what comes of it

Blair grumbled before shaking her head slightly while looking to Yoshito and said. "It would be better to explain to Izohra what happened. I don't know what his relationship with Sandro was, but I know he cared a lot about him." Caesar was still growling, but stopped to sniff the air before looking at her with a whimper. Yoshito nodded and said. "Hmm, yes. That sounds like a good place to start. It is always best to negotiate whenever possible." She nodded slightly before leaning over to kiss Yoshito's cheek gently and said. "You always know what to say to calm me down. Thank you, Yoshito."

Blair took a breath before yelling in Izohra's direction. "Apparently you've been misinformed, Izohra. I'd like to propose a truce. If you are still unsatisfied by the end of our chat. Well, we can duke it out instead. Deal?" There was a short pause before some of Izohra's men began laughing. Izohra lifted a hand, silencing his troops before he yelled his reply. "It sounds like you are stalling, but fine. I owe you that much for saving Sandro before you even knew him." He pointed to the middle rock in the Zen Garden while continuing to speak. "I'll be waiting for you on this central rock. Just you and me."

When Blair stepped out, her reddish brown eyes with bright yellow flecks, reflected a glimmer of light, causing them to flash. This coupled with her aura of fear sent out a chilling wave of fear throughout Izohra's body and that of his men. However, one of them freaked out, gripping his chest before falling to his knees. His **** was caused by a heart attack due to the high tension in the air and the sudden onset of fear. 60 + 10% = 66 xp She felt a quiver of pleasure slip through her body, knowing her aura of fear caused that.

Blair smiled and continued to walk toward the central rock. Izohra paused, watching her closely. Everyone's base fear had jumped up to at least 20, however, three more of Izohra's men gripped their chests, dying due to fear as well. (60 + 10%) x 3 = 198 xp She felt yet another quiver of pleasure slip through her body as the smell of fear in the air was driving her senses wild, but she took in a deep breath before calming herself and said. "Oh come now, you can't be afraid of little old me, right?" Everyone's fear had jumped up to at least 40, except Caesar, Yoshito, and the wisps. Izohra's men were visibly rattled at this point. Her eyes looked out at Izohra's troops, noticing only eighteen remained.

Ding!

Caesar's level has increased from 1 to 2!

Blair used this moment of confusion to use a mental command to spend her 5 new skill points in Agility, increasing it from 35 to 40. Izohra swallowed before shaking his head and said. "I don't know what you've done, but there is certainly an aura of evil around you, Blair." Blair lifted a brow and playfully smiled before saying. "I've been training since Zane betrayed me. I promise you, its not evil that I exude, Izohra. If it is true evil you seek to dispose of, look at your leader, Zane."

Before Izohra could reply, Blair lifted a hand to silence him as she continued to speak. "You might've known this if you had talked to Nora before coming here. Nora, she didn't even recognize me last time we spoke." She looked off to the side with a bit of sadness behind her eyes before looking back to Izohra. Everyone's fear had dropped back down to 35. Izohra tilted his head slightly before looking back at his men then back to Blair, starting to walk toward that rock yet again. His body was trembling, but he kept his fear under control. Everyone's fear had dropped back down to 30 by the time he sat down upon that rock a few feet in front of her.

Caesar had made his way over to that rock, doing his best to scale the side of it. Upon his success, he let out a soft bark, walking over to Blair and soon sat down upon her lap. She looked down to Caesar and scratched the top of his head before looking into Izohra's eyes and said. "Much has changed since we last spoke, Izohra. We have both lost people who were dear to us." She looked to Izohra's troops then back to Izohra, their fear dropped down to 25 as she continued to speak. "I didn't see Sandro's or Emiko's body, but from what I overheard from Zane and Master Tong. They are both dead."

Izohra's eyes looked down as he began processing this information and said. "No, Z-zane wouldn't lie to me. He wouldn't hurt his own men, right? Sandro was one of his best." More of his men were becoming restless as one of them fired an arrow at Blair. Before it hit her, Caesar jumped into the air, catching the arrow in between his teeth. He turned around and brought it to her, dropping it by her side, his tail wagging happily. Blair gently scratched the top of Caesar's head before looking to Izohra's troops. "Try that again and you won't live to fire another." Their fear jumped back up to 30.

Izohra turned around after seeing the arrow upon the ground beside Blair and said. "We're in the middle of a truce, have you no dignity?" He looked back to her and bowed his head to her. "I'm sorry, it would seem my men are very eager to fight." She shook her head before smiling to Izohra and whispered. "I don't think that is what you should be worried about, Izohra. If any of them have orders from Zane to make sure I die, do you think they won't turn on you too?" It was at that moment that one of the men yelled out. "Enough of this, men. Zane said to kill her no matter the cost. Attack!"

Izohra's eyes widened as he heard that, turning around as he stood up. He lifted a hand while chanting a few words before a gust of wind knocked all of them to the ground. There were tears in his eyes as he yelled out. "True justice is not here, men. Zane has betrayed us, not Blair." One of the men stood up and fired a bolt from his crossbow at Izohra, but before it could hit him, Blair stepped in front of Izohra and caught it, causing all of their fear to tick up to 35. She turned it around and threw it back at the man, hitting his throat for critical damage, killing him instantly. 5 Bolt damage + 110 (Agil) = 115 + 5% (physical up) + 10% (pants up) + 15% (against humanoids) = 153 (152.749) damage x 2 = 306 damage (66 Overkill), 60 + 10% = 66 xp, At that moment, her quest turned itself in.

Ding!

Izohra moved behind Blair and said. "I'm so sorry, Blair. I should have known better." She let out a sigh and said. "Don't sweat it, Izohra. I understand how quickly rage can blind one from the truth." She used a mental command to invite Izohra and Yoshito to her party. Izohra's portrait, health, and mana bar appeared below her own once he had accepted, however Yoshito declined. Blair looked to Yoshito rather confused, but his eyes were focused on something else.

When Blair's eyes looked to where Yoshito's were looking she understood why he declined. The three rocks were starting to shake, possessed by the wisps, taking on a colored symbol of the one that possessed it. She picked up Izohra and Caesar into her arms before leaping from the rock as all three possessed rocks lifted up from the ground, launching themselves at the line of troops as they stood up, killing most of them. However, 3 of the men remained for Blair, Izohra, and Caesar to handle. She used Observe on them to see what she was up against.

Observe:

Guild: Balance of Fate, Class: Warrior, lvl: 15, Height: 5' 10"

Weight: 185, Age: 25, Body type: Athletic. Race: Human

Status: Hostile, Hp: 240/240, Mp 213/213, Mood: Scared and Angry

Blair smiled and said to Izohra and Caesar. "This'll be easy. Time to test out my new skills." She lifted up her fists and ran across the zen garden, faster than she ever could have before and hit one of them in the nose, smashing it into his face for a critical damage. 193 x 2 = 386, 13 x 2 = 26 + 386 = 412 damage (172 Overkill), 60 + 10% = 66 xp Izohra was stunned by her power in combat, but Caesar let out a bark, rushing off after her to bite one of the men for 10 damage. 10 damage The fear of the men remaining ticked up to 40. She used this opportunity to toggle on Arcane Strike, adding 15 damage to each strike for the cost of 5 mana each. A new notification popped up.

Caesar's level has increased from 2 to 3!

As the man turned to strike Blair's precious puppy, Caesar, she turned to punch his cheek, catching him off guard, hitting him for critical damage as well. - 5 Mp, 15 + 5% (spelldmgup) + 10% (pants up) + 15% (against humanoids) = 20 (19.924) damage, 193 x 2 = 386, 13 x 2 = 26, 20 x 2 = 40, 386 + 26 + 40 = 452 damage (212 Overkill), 60 + 10% = 66 xp The last man's fear jumped up to 60, but while he stepped back, she rushed in close, punching him in the chest twice, killing him. - 10 Mp, 452 (212 Overkill), 60 + 10% = 66 xp

Blair brushed herself off as she used a mental command to toggle off Arcane Strike before kneeling down to pet Caesar. His tail was wagging happily as he nuzzled her hand. The wisps moved to set those stones back in place while Yoshito came out to calm Izohra down. She knew this was no longer a safe place to be, but where should she go? There was the junkyard or perhaps the woods. One thing was certain, a place in the city would be unwise.
