Argenti's Palace

[beautifulknight]

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

[ It doesn't suit Argenti of all people to be speaking of eternal solitude. His life may have been that of a wanderer, always meeting and departing, but McGillis hasn't taken him for closed off due to it. If anything, he should be waxing poetic about the Beauty to be found in a thousand transient connections that one carries in their heart for eternity.

Solitude, being beyond everyone's reach, having abandoned them... McGillis finds that Argenti sounds more like him than himself. It's irritating. ]

I can see words will get us nowhere here, but allow me to add some of my own anyway.

Your order forbids you the pursuit of power, yet teaches you to see Beauty in combat. It's an interesting paradox... that don't care much for.

Know this: The defeat I want to bring to you is going to be of the beauty I believe in - absolute brute force, so mesmerizing that you cannot avert your gaze.

I want to save you with forbidden power tainted in your religion's greatest sins.

[ McGillis certainly seems to be approaching this in his own way - there is no reason for that to change. Everyone here is their own person, who should speak their mind as genuinely as possible...even if Argenti would wish in the current state that he is it would mean that they decide to abandon him instead.

But, the blond is stubborn, even when his own physical state is still hardly in the greatest spot. That is the most surprising thing of all, alongside those words, carefully and expertly composed to land a strike, that daringly reach him; a testament to his conviction. ]

You cannot hope to claim victory with your brute force you call beautiful.

I am still too much for any of you to overcome...but, I shall be witness to your failed attempts to defeat me soundly in combat!

[ And with that, the battle begins. ]
