genessia | [Video]

[When the feed clicks on, it does so mid-bounce as if the device had been tossed aside with little in the way of regard for what happened to it. Those watching it was spared most of the camera shaking if only because the room in which the broadcast originates is pitch black save for three points of illumination. The first two show the shadow-cloaked face of Vlad as his eyes appear to burn with a hellish flame. The third seems to be a small crimson stone, glowing in the darkness, pulsing softly almost as if mimicking a heart beat. When Vlad speaks, his voice is restrained, but the fury is more than evident.]

I have spent quite some time in this place, and during that time I have learned quite a bit of the nature of the realm. Those of us chosen to be ripped from our own worlds seem to have been plucked from them to serve as protectors of the realm, to keep the barriers around the cities in place so that what lies beyond at bay.

It is because of this that I was willing to accept the peace offering that was returning my wife to my side. However, she is no longer here. Sent back to the fate that awaited her in our world; to be tortured and burnt at the stake for the crime of showing compassion. What this realm seems to have forgotten is that I am not as forgiving as Lisa.

[He pauses, clenching his fist around the stone, dimming the lights further but allowing the shifting shadows that fill the room behind him to become a bit more visible.]

Perhaps it is time I remind Genessia why I am called Vlad the Impaler...

What she has endured is far beyond what any should be subjected to. For her sake I do not want her to be plucked from the flames for a second time. Neither should my daughters need to fear that they too could be ripped from their family at a moment's notice.

This is a message to the realm itself as well as any that would entertain the thought of harming them.

You didn't answer my question.

Is she going to be happy to see what you do for her? Or are you going to trample over her kind heart with your own feet now, and spit in her face for showing kindness?

If she's the type to be happy as the center of pain and suffering, then go for it.

She showed the world kindness and the world answered her in violence. I simply responded in kind.

What she wanted is sadly irrelevant now. Which is why we find ourselves in the state we are in.

I see...Well. I can say with the absolute certainty that I think you're full of shit, not love.

If you're going to threaten this place and burden its inhabitants, then I will unfortunately have to knock you down a few pegs. Are you still not changing your mind?

[Uai speaks with an annoying amount of confidence and calm.]

You are welcome to try, but you like all the others will fail.

[All of this is rather hypocritical, given that Uai will try to burn down Genessia in a week... Minor detail.

For now, he shakes his head with pity.]

Then so be it. I’ll knock you down myself. Let’s make this quick.

Then come. I welcome your exercise in futility. I am not a difficult man to find.

Fine, fiine. If you're going to be that stubborn.

[Much to the shame of his mun, Uai is aggressive enough to take Vlad up on that offer. Once orientating himself with the location, Uai quite literally appears from thin air. He doesn't really have any reason to start a fight unless it looks like those threats are being enacted upon, so will wait within a careful distance. Watching and judging how necessary this is.]

[Given the mood the master of the castle is in, his armies are far less restrained in their ferocity. In particular a Bone Dragon fixed to a point high against the rear wall of the room lashes out, stretching its skeletal neck as long as it could in an attempt to take a bite out of the intruder as Vlad merely watched from a distance, cold and uncaring.]

[Bone dragons are familiar, in the sense that Uai's true form is one. While Uai's physical form is a joke, his instinct is to dodge the bite.]

Rude! I know I said I'd hurt you, but I haven't even said 'hello' yet! [At least his bad humor is in tact. And his braid's precious ribbon. Uai summons his sword and searches for Vlad. Given how much the Bone Dragon looks like Uai's true form, he's hesitant to destroy it immediately. What if it's another idiot like himself?]

Wanna at least warn me if they have souls?

[The dragon doesn't hesitate and quickly spews some flame at the intruder as footsteps gather in the hallway outside as reinforcements hasten to the throne.]

All within this castle are a part of my soul. The castle itself is my body, and you who so rudely entered in without the proper etiquette expects a greeting?

Ugh, I hate having things in common with my enemies.

[Uai isn't sure how much they have in common, but it is enough to make him hesitate to destroy anything. With Uai's magic, the 'glitches' he creates are pieces of his soul: If they are destroyed, it hurts him very deeply. He might have come here to teach a lesson, but he didn't come to kill anyone.

As the flames come his way, Uai responds by eliminating the oxygen around them: His magical specialty being the manipulation of reality. He hopes to just take away the fire's fuel and save his human guise from damage. This vain boy is more concerned with staying cute than safe.]

It's Uai, then! Thanks for inviting me in. [The footsteps aren't reassuring either.] I wish I could hate you properly instead of sympathizing. This is going to be annoying.
