Fantasy The Grand Conflict- Witches And Hunters

[Angelofwishes7]

~ Skyler ~​

Skyler looked back at where her day had gone before watching the girl leave. She could see it, so her father must have been able to see the mountain as well. Skyler rubbed her eyes and after the girl had left the shop she walked outside to get a better view. It was then she noticed how many others were out along the streets and sidewalks looking up at the floating mountain. Some in awe, others in terror or confusion. This didn't look good.

It only took one more glance at the mountain before Skyler grabbed Raffles and held him tightly before turning the corner and heading back toward the B&B. Someone had to know what was going on, right? Well, she at least hoped so maybe someone had an idea of what to do. She was a bit out of breath as she got to the doors. She wasn't out of shape, just forgot to breathe as she ran over. Take a few deep breaths to calm her breathing before entering the building she looked around, then walked up to Madison and Mortimer.

"I'm assuming you all looked outside recently?" Skyler wasn't trying to sound sarcastic or anxious, but she wanted to make sure she wasn't going crazy.

Mortimer Briarwood​

He looked somewhat taken aback by Val'Kyren's comment on his eyes. He then arched his brow, "I can't control the colour of my irises, but just excuse me for suffering an incurable disease. Although neither can you control the way your eyes look, you utter, bloody hypocrite." His sunglasses, however, had been tucked in his pocket for the duration of the conversation. "There's a reason I have something to hide them, mainly because a middle-aged goth isn't what I'm aiming for." Briarwood scoffed. "The way you act indicates you've assumed maturity because you desire to assert dominance over those criticising you, it's not working. I refuse to believe you've learnt anything in your time on Earth, and the fact you freely admit to being such a disgusting amalgamation of modern materialism, terrible manners, and utterly lacking culture makes me quite sick. Thus I can safely assume you're the village idiot around these parts. I know I have my flaws, but just looking at you makes me want to end my existence." The Vampire barked a quiet laugh, "Something valuable to add? You? I doubt it. I trust the human more than I trust you." He jerked his thumb towards Eryx.

Mortimer turned his gaze upon Maddison and again made a tutting sound. "Have you completely ignored the progression of this conversation? I retracted my statement, so you could cosy up to this insubordinate apparently. The same one who just threatened to kill you. Don't you care in the least? Anyhow, It was an assumption made in shock unless you believe I have the same brain capacity as the almighty Mr Freeze, who thinks he should be the leader of the coven considering how he's handling the situation." The Vampire evidently, wasn't happy with either floating mountain, disregard for his input, and the immaturity of the ice-witch who rubbed him the wrong way just by glancing at the male.

Then came Skyler. "Oh no, I managed to miss the gigantic floating landmass above us, because I was too busy staring into the sun wishing I could become a pile of ash." Briarwood then cleared his throat slowly, closing his eyes whilst placing a hand upon his chest with a long series of inhales and exhales. "Excuse me for tone." He eventually managed to remark, pinching the bridge of his nose hard enough that it'd snap the bone of a normal human. "I'm having a small breakdown."

Val'Kyren
Edward glanced down at the new girl who had entered. He immediately recognised her as the girl that worked in that flower shop, though Edward himself had never really been there. He was actually debating whether she was a witch, or just some random person that wanted to confirm that it wasn't just them that was on hallucinogenic gasses. "Well, there seems to be a mountain floating in the sky." Edward answered, while studying Skyler. "So, are you ju-" He was about to ask her, before cutting himself off: he realised he could sense witches near him. "Gods, anime does make you lose brain cells." He whispered to himself. Then, he shifted his attention to Mortimer, who didn't seem quite done with Edward yet.

"Well, given he's the librarian here, it would be much wiser to trust him over an abomination created by society." He responded, completely unmoved by Mortimer's relentless assault of insults, of which only half of it Edward had paid attention to. "Well, I'm sorry for defending some random person and then getting angry people trying to shove swords down my throat." Gazing next to him, Edward saw several people who were stunned in awe at the structure floating in the sky. One of these said people was holding a coffee that had barely been touched. Edward reached over and took his coffee. "Thanks" He said to the person, who had completely ignored Edward. Once again turning to Mortimer, Edward pointed out at that mountain. "Jesus christ, if you really want to tear out my throat, we can try to kill each other on that mountain. May as well blow it up in the process." Finishing his coffee, Edward stood up from his seat, and proceeded to leave the B&B. "Well, forgive me for worsening the mood. I'll disappear from your sights right now, lest I end up like that chick in your rosebush. Please, forgive me for existing." Giving Mortimer a bright grin, he bid the vampire farewell, before leaving Lucy at the B&B and making his way back the the apartment. His presence was probably not appreciated. Did Edward feel like trash? No, not at all, but Edward wanted pizza, and this whole mountain thing wasn't any of his business. Not anymore, that is. His presence probably demoralised everybody, though he certainly didn't regret throwing his former personality aside. Now thinking back on himself, Edward could only cringe.

The doors of the apartment flew open, as Edward entered the room. Plopping down on the couch, he grabbed a slice of meat-lovers pizza. "Well, my presence wasn't very welcome. Fate of every weeb, I guess. A disgrace to society, what can I do? Well, this mountain thing isn't my business anymore, unless the coven specifically wants my help." He hastily spoke, before beginning to chew on his pizza. In a matter of seconds, his first slice had disappeared. He turned to Valen as he grabbed for a second slice. "Sorry if you didn't get what you want, it's for the best. A fight to the death would probably end badly for you, but if you still want to go through with it, I don't mind." He smiled at the delicious slice of pizza, before taking a huge bite out of it. "Hey, Grats, if we were to go to another country, which would you prefer? I'm talking staying for several decades, I'm getting at least one hunter a month who wants my arse, and it's irritating. May as well completely vanish for a while."

Eryx Rembriel​

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Eryx grimaced, tapping his nails together with a feverish sort of anxiety. Why was everyone fighting? Sure, there was a giant mysterious mountain in the sky- one that was now beginning to fade away -but, gosh, couldn't they stop? Eryx really thought that it would be better to, you know, keep a level head? Evidently, no one else here thought that would be good.

The librarian bit his lip, ran a hand through his messy hair, and attempted (once more with the high hopes that he wouldn't be dead within the next two minutes) to get between Mortimer and Val'kyren's feud. "You both are very, uhm- definitely have strong opinions on how to handle the situation and uh, what caused it and I'm sure you both can be very helpful in figuring out what's going on!" At Mortimer's rather unkind tone as he said human, the young librarian looked a little taken aback. He said softly, under his breath, "humans can be helpful too, you know."

Then the winter witch of the west left all in a huff, and Skyler was here now too and gosh- everyone needed to just, like. Stop doing things for just five seconds and take a deep breath. Then, after a beat of awkward silence and realizing that if he talked, he might actually be heard, Eryx clapped his hands together and glanced between Madison and Mortimer. "You know, I actually had an idea of how we could write this all off. Uhm, do any of you remember that uh, that floating city? In China? It was totally a hoax but everyone was ready to accept it as an atmospheric phenomenon- a mirage called a 'Fata Morgana.' We could just, do the same. Not the best, but it could work temporarily, while we figure out a better lie! Of course, there's the fact that there is actually thousands of witnesses." He waved his hand absently. "It's fine, it's fine. It'll work."

Gratatenens looks angrier than Val'Kyren has ever seen him. For a split second there's a glimpse of something far darker and deeper behind his eyes and his form twists.

"Gratatenens, not 'Grats.' unlike you Humans, a Demon's name grows longer as they get more powerful as a natural extension of our being. I haven't been Grats since before Humans decided Caesar was a good title to give their ruler. I'll let it slide this once but do it again and you'll be violating the 'Demotion' clause of our Contract."

Gratatenens relaxes.
"Did you tell Mortimer to cover up that dead woman in his roses? That ball-less bloodsucker can't clean up after himself if his unlife depended on it. Honestly somedays I feel like turning his front door into a portal to the Sahara Desert. Also is Eryx still as chipper as ever? I haven't seen him since that time I got asked to leave the library for reshelving the books properly. It's not my fault you Humans are shit at getting history right. Ugh. Um, wait there was something else. Um,..right! Valen wants to apprentice under you so she can drag some idiots soul out of the afterlife and stick it in a suit of armor like Fullmetal Alchemist. P.S., there is no Portal of Truth, Human Transmutation is fun and profitable. I spent a few years in England in the late 19th century with one bloke who actually managed to make a Homunculi. He named it Jack and tried to teach him how to perform surgery, but he'd been shit at the job and the damn thing went insane. It killed him and a bunch of other peope around Whitechapel, but then Jack tried to kill an alien and she ate him. Although I may be misremembering because of my ether addiction at the time, because he might have been the Lock Ness Monster. Honestly you Humans just keep coming up with more and more fun ways to not be sober. Wait, I'm rambling on again...right! Valen wants to be your apprentice because she's woefully inexperienced and right now I'd be less happy if she accidently got killed by magical backlash and her corpse reanimated as an Undead mindless abomination. And where......are...those..............liggggggggggggggggtth..ugh0[dgpjdpa;dsfg;guh34-59iuy40y8j-9]j-......................"
Anyone looking will see a strip of paper on Gratatenens's arm that held quite a bit of LSD as he zones out completely.

 

[LostHaven]

Val'Kyren
"Oh um" Edward managed to say, staring at Gratatanens who is having a... seizure or something? He was explaining what Jack The Ripper really was, tried to link it to the Loch Ness Monster and aliens? Looking at Gratatanens, Edward noticed a strip of paper on his arm, with... "Oh lord, where the hell did you even get that...?" Edward asked, before realising there wasn't any point. Instead, he just turned over to face Valen. "You know what? I don't even want to know where that came from." He muttered before picking up his third slice of pizza. "So what's this all about? You want to resurrect somebody?" He asked. "You know that rarely ends well, right? I don't know why you came here specifically, but I'm not a necromancer. The whole 'witch lord of cocytus' thingy is just a nickname hunters gave me. I'm not actually associated with hell in any way at all. Except for Gratatanens.”

Edward then glanced at Gratatanens once more, before pointing at the fridge. "Hey, Valen, can you fill up a jar with water? There's ice in the freezer, go get some ice-water." Edward didn't really know what to do when somebody is high on drugs, but he may as well try. Also, getting the police after his ass wasn't a fun idea.

Madison uttered a grim chuckle at Skyler's question about the mountain, which by now was rather faint in the sky. "Yeah, we all see it. The question is, what is it, and what do we do about it? And Mortimer, please play nice. We all know you're nervous, we're the same way. But we have to think our way through this.

Which leads me to you, Eryx. I like the Fata Morgana thing. If anyone asks you about this, mention it. That should give us a little time to get ahead of the problem. Meanwhile, I'll need to start looking at your library. Anything that could tell us what's actually going on."

"no... I'm the cowboy," Granger mumbled in his sleep, his face flat on the table. Not a foot from his nicely trimmed beard were the now very cold and sticky pancakes, hardly appetizing. How long had it been anyways? Had he... no, he couldn't have. It must have been that late night, and he could no longer stay up that late. No... he definitely slept and got up this morning. Had he really fallen asleep, nearly in his own pancakes? How odd, and surely disturbing. It was... unnatural. He had hardly felt such a feeling before, and as he realized some time had passed, Granger only grew more concerned for his wellbeing.

There was also the question of Blair. In a haze, he couldn't quite remember where she had gone. Oh, that's right, out. Surely Granger was so smart as to let a young teenager walk the small town all by herself, full well knowing that there were several predators looking to tear her apart. The dangers that Mortimer and this supposed coven posed for her, was it really wise of Granger to allow this to happen? To allow the person he was charged with protecting to wander alone? I mean, errands were one thing, but he couldn't get his head straight around why she'd just leave.

Groggily reaching into his pocket, Granger looked towards his neighbor's yard, seeing no activity. He turned back to his phone, dialing Balir's number into it. As it rang, the curious Granger could not help but look to see what idiocy Mortimer was up to. They did see one another earlier, did they not? Curiously, he saw no activity. Hopefully Blair would pick up.

~ Skyler ~​

Skyler was taken back by Mortimer's words, she had seen him upset before, but never at her and honestly, she was a bit hurt. Though, she took a deep breath and tried not to show that she was upset. This wasn't a time to let her emotions get in the way of what was going on, but she found herself looking toward the ground. He was upset, everyone seemed upset. Guess that was normal for what was going on at the moment. She stayed quiet and listened to what was going on, though she seemed to perk up a tad bit as Val'Kyren brought up anime, even if he was speaking more to himself than the group. That was a topic she could get into, but before she had the chance to speak he spoke up throwing words back at Mortimer over their argument. Okay, not the best time to bring up anime, maybe later then. Skyler kept quiet and watched the events unfold.

She watched Val'Kyren walk out before bringing her attention back to everyone else in the room, listening as Eryx and Madison speak about some Fata Morgana thing. What that an actual thing? It was definitely something she wanted to look up now. She had never heard of it, though it sounded cool, and it sounded like it would work, at least for the time being. She pulled out her phone, looking up Fata Morgana, she wanted to see if it was real.
