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?

[That Maeigaon hurts, to be sure, but ironically it is exactly that pain that helps keep Richard grounded, remind him that what he'd just seen was little more than an illusion woven to prey on his own weaknesses. (He didn't need Argenti to remind him of those, not when he replays his father's murder in his head every day and wishes that he could have strength like Asbel's.)

He almost feels that pulse from the spear more than he hears it. In the back of his mind, Lambda nudges at him, encouraging.

And so he forgoes trying to strike the beast itself, instead leaping up for a Tiger's Prowl (18) aimed directly at that spear.]
