genessia | A King's Decree [Action/Video] (The Invasion of Attleton)

From the entrance of the Archway into Attleton, a lone figure could be seen standing there, golden locks swaying in the breeze as he looked upon the city. "Hmph. Such a dismal place." he muttered softly as a ripple of golden light appeared over his hand. From the light a lone feather drifted down, the man grasping it at the tip and holding it over his head.

All throughout Attleton there would be a rather large earthquake with its origin point coming from the man as the ground around him trembled, shattered, and came together again, rising up to form soldiers made from stone, each one clad in stone armor with a variety of weapons. Hundreds of soldiers rose to thousands as they all took shape and form, standing in formation as they awaited the one who summoned them.

[Pulling out his communicator, Gilgamesh turned the camera on, focusing on the multitude of soldiers that were now at his command.]

Hear me, Oh citizens of Attleton.

[Even now his voice is booming loudly and full of the charismatic presence that had drawn eyes to him wherever he went.]

It has come to my attention that you are being lead by an inept soul whose only value is in how entertaining a mongel he is. I plan on rectifying that. Thus, I do declare in the divinity that is within me, that I am to become the next Guardian of this Archway effective immediately. Any who dare to say otherwise, will find themselves attacked by my new army, courtesy of a magical feather artifact I found.

[The camera is turned around so it shows Gilgamesh in his golden armor, radiating a bright light as he stares impassively into the screen.]

And to those who seek me out for the feather or to rescue this songbird, [Panning up to show Sakura in that golden bird cage hanging above him.] be prepared for death. I will show no mercy to those who deny my right as King. Though if you are amusing enough, perhaps I will let you live and entertain me. So come! Come and meet your doom or bow down like the mongrels you are and greet your new King!

[Hmmmm... She'll be examining it all closely for a few moments before responding. In contrast to those before her, she's completely calm and perhaps a little curious.]

Ah, so this is the route you have chosen to take... The irony of your choice in words did make me laugh just a little. First you declare yourself the new Guardian, a position granted through election like a mayor, then you demand you be recognized as king, which is not an elected official. Not that I really care that much, I just enjoyed the irony. That is a rather adorable bird.

[Gilgamesh shrugs as he leans back against his throne.]

They appreciate one position, while I still have claim over another. Tis a simple matter in that, perhaps one of these will understand the difference though.

I do agree, the bird is adorable, though she's yet to sing. Perhaps you'd be willing to help coax her?

True. It would have been fun to watch the Guardian's reaction to you claiming monarchy, if it was challenge or acceptance and aligning with your leadership but this is your chosen path.

[Bridget would have preferred that actually as it would have allowed her to be more passive and less >.>-ish. But she was one who could afford to size up a situation and avoid reflexive emotional reaction.]

As for your bird... I could look into it as a little favor on the same level as treating me to a nice meal. I suppose I do know a few things about cheering up a little bird under stress. As an additional favor I'm willing to attempt to reduce the amount of ankle-biting attacks directed at your endeavor. It's up to you, though. I will remain openly neutral for at least another three to six hours.

What else would I choose with such an inept leader? I doubt he would have the capacity to understand that his own actions are misguided and that he'd be better off removing himself from his position.

Hmph...If you can give me such a hand as you say, I will provide for you a lavish meal fit for a king. Or maybe even a gem from my treasury if you were so inclined.

I suppose so, I just tend to outlive inept leaders so it's easier for me to ignore.

[A slightly thoughtful pause.]

Actually... Meals are fleeting and gems are rocks that someone has put a little shine to. A bit of sparring with someone who can take a severed limb without dropping dead would actually be more interesting to myself. This place is dulling my edge it seems.

That does make it easier if you can avoid getting caught up in their ineptitude as well.

Sparring I would be able to do as well. Though I do not go easy and I will not take responsibility for any injuries you gain from it. Perhaps we should discuss it another time, now would not make for a good opportunity without mongrels intruding.
