The footsteps of Ryuuji’s boots against the marble floors echoed coldly through the hall, matching his slow methodical pace through the manor. The air around him shimmered and twisted with intense heat, a stark contrast to the bitter cold outside. Any stray guild members or manor staff who happened to cross his path immediately stepped to the side as he passed. There was an immense and suffocating pressure emanating from him, strong enough to be felt by anyone who dared venture close.
On his way to the manor from the guild hall, Ryuuji had actually managed to calm himself down a great deal. The events at the Lamia guild hall were, in the end, trivial and inconsequential, and he’d eventually come to realize that. Cold weather always seemed to help diffuse his temper, and he felt the chill in the air to be oddly relaxing.
However, when he’d found out about the prior events that had transpired in the courtyard, it didn’t matter how calm he’d been. Even if he’d been at a state of meditative peace when he heard the events, it wouldn’t have mattered. It took every fiber of his being and every ounce of his willpower to stop himself from simply letting loose and taking out a quarter of the estate. With a great effort, he managed to push all thoughts of immediate revenge out of his mind. There would be plenty of time for that later. What he had to do first was much, much more important.
Eventually, he came to the room he was looking for, and stopped in front of it, facing the door. He looked down at the note he’d been given and double checked to make sure this was, in fact, the correct room. This was it. He stared for a few seconds more, before slamming his foot square in the center of the door, much in the same way he’d done when he’d entered the guild hall. This time, however, he put considerably more force behind the kick, and instead of simply swinging open, the door was blasted off its hinges and fell to the floor with a loud clatter.
He took one step into the room and froze. There were more people in here than he’d expected, and not all of them were people he recognized. Of course he recognized Christina, but there was a blue haired man and a purple haired man that he hadn’t met before. Ryuuji paused a second as he looked in the direction of the purple haired man. He seemed oddly familiar, as if Ryuuji had seen him in a dream. It was probably nothing though. Of course Alex was also there, and in his arms he held… Amaya. The second he laid eyes on her he felt all of his hate and anger drain away. Wordlessly, he crossed the room slowly, making his way over to where Amaya was before pulling her into a tight emotional embrace.
It was a solid thirty seconds before Ryuuji finally spoke. “Abbadon told me what happened,” he said softly, not much above a whisper. “I’m sorry I wasn’t here when you really needed me,”.
