Third Rune - [Video/Action]
[The video feed starts with Caelica's big bluish-green eye looking into the camera, blinking once until she adjusts communicator's zoom. In the background were dead monsters, with cauterized wounds caused by Caelica's sword that still glows. Caelica gives a polite nod at the camera]
Good afternoon, to whom may be watching. I'll keep this brief.
[Caelica paused, clearing her throat before going on a rant of sorts]
Since my arrival, I noticed many people with different powers and skills in weaponry, or combat in it's entirety. With us being from different realms, this makes sense. But my point is, I would like to learn about other ways of combat. I myself am proficient with the use of a longsword, and I wouldn't object to an exchange in combat knowledge through a duel, or fighting side-by-side against these beasts. [Caelica points to the dead monsters with the tip of her sword, creating a low hum]
I'm at the plains of Fayren if anyone would be interested in meeting. I'll be here until the evening!

[Action]
Something has been bothering Caelica as evident in the way her eyes glow with every kill. Finishing her combo with a swift horizontal slice, chopping off an 8-foot tall creature's head clean off. Caelica blinked twice, slowly turning around to watch the result of that carnage]
By the gods... This feeling again.
[Taking soft steps forward to really soak in the view, Caelica gasps in both awe and fear of her power... and this strange sensation that she enjoyed that. Letting the cold, falling snow brush against her coat and bare skin. Caelica's hearing begins to blur as the hair on the back of her neck stands at the sight of what she done. She closed her eyes shut, shaking her head and sensed someone approach]
Hello?
[Action]
[As he approached, he made no attempt to brush the snow from his shoulders, walking barefoot and shirtless through the area as if the cold itself feared him. He offered a smirk, his red eye glinting softly as he spoke.]
I'm glad I found this place before you got bored with these mindless beasts.
My name is Kazuya Mishima. Yours?
[Action]
I am Caelica Blair, a rune knight of the Dalanyo. At least I was from where I hailed.
[Action]
Rule number one of combat, never take your eyes off your opponent!
Re: [Action]
Attacking me when we haven't even arranged our bout? You have no honor, Mishima.
[Caelica's brows furrowed, standing up as the dust cleared and swinging her lightblade to create a hum. The attack awakened something in her- a lust for violence and an aggressive rage. Still, her knightly spirit remained dominant over her consciousness]
I never take my eyes off my opponent. You weren't one before you struck me. But now, you have my attention!
[Caelica dashes forward, creating a upward swing of her long lightblade. She may not have the strength equal to Kazuya without amping her body up with runic magic, but she has a weapon and range advantage for now...]
[Action]
[Still, he could practically feel the bloodlust well up in the air as she attacked. He spun to the side, barely able to avoid the wave of energy as he launched into another Shadowstep, trying to close the distance once more, though this time aiming a left hook for her torso.]
You'll have to do better than simply attending to provide me a challenge.
[Action]
Caelica would respond to Kazuya and argue about their beliefs, but things are moving fast and her opponent is very strong. Seeing that hook coming, Caelica uses her power, creating a gauntlet made of light to act as armor and a cushion as she catches Kazuya's fist with her palm. The contact created a shockwave and cracked the ground below them from the force. Her mind is in conflict, making her unable to react just yet]
[Action]
Hesitation is death. Power is everything.
[Action]
Be quiet!
[Action]
So you can fight back. I was starting to wonder.
[Even as he taunted her, he quickly stepped forward, bringing his foot shooting up, ready for a second blow on the way down, regardless of whether the first blow landed.]
[Action]
With a thought, the hammer changed into a flail, which Caelica swung at Kazuya. She didn't have the time to aim for any vital areas, and her upbringing is still preventing her from being fully violent. Caelica still has her sword on her other hand, but instead of attacking in tandem with the flail construct she waits for an opening before using it]
[Action]
Re: [Action]
You are strong, I would give you that.
[Caelica knows she could lose or even die here, but she hardly cares about that. She's more concerned about fighting her violent urges that this guy is just helping bring out to the surface. She glared intensely at him]
If you fight without weapons, I will fight you without weapons.
[Caelica summoned an aura shield that conformed to her shape, making her glow white. Gauntlets formed around her fists as she changed her stance...]
[Video]
Greetings! Um, about those monsters, ma'am... Are you hunting them? They don't appear to be much of a challenge for you.
[Video]
Indeed I am hunting them, and I admit they are not a challenge for me. Pardon my choice of words, I mean not to boast.
[There's really not much of a way to put it. With her lightweaving magic, these monsters can't even touch her. With her sword alone, they might however]

Hey, that sword you've got there's pretty neat.
I'm no teacher, but if you want to go a round or two, I'd certainly be up for a spar.
no subject
I would like that, thank you kind sir. About what time will you be arriving?
no subject
Well... Considering the fact that I hardly know my way around here at all. I wouldn't hold your breath, I'll get there as soon as I can.
no subject
[Caelica has pretty good sense of direction after traveling for a while now, so memorizing roads and all that became second nature]
You must try the dish the others refer to as pizza. It's quite the godsend!
