The Red King

[lionhearrt]

Who: Mikoto + Open
What: Ra's Temple exploded, again. (3rd time!)
When: September 20
Where: Ra's Temple
Summary: Izumo is gone. Mikoto didn't take it well. 


a. Amid the rubble lies the god of the sun burning brightly as his namesake. The flames have yet to die down and the black keeps spreading, but it's not blight that mars his skin as Mikoto struggles to get the red aura under control.


b. Mikoto sits amid the rubble looking exhausted as white flames burn brightly from the palm of his hands as the god heals the burn marks.


c. Healing is an exhausting task, if anyone approaches him after he's healed they'll find Mikoto trying to get up and failing. He's about ready to pass out.


d. Wildcard - Go wild. Make up your own scenario. Catch him at anytime before he passes out or after he wakes up! OTA!

[ Part of her jolts forward when the rubble crumbles under his hand, hands stretched out to catch him if he falls - if she could even manage that - but she stops before she reaches him, the slam of his other hand giving away his mood before he even opens his mouth to answer her. She hadn't been certain her help would be wanted, or welcomed, and she's pretty sure that's her answer there.

She steps back again, forcing her hands back to her sides as he stands. ]

I... To make certain, I guess. A part of me wanted to hope it was wishful thinking that perhaps it was only I who could no longer feel him.

[lionhearrt]

[ He remains upright, somehow. ]

You've got your answer.

[darkestbefore]

I do.

[ As much as she didn't want this answer.

He's swaying, and she's not sure he realizes it. She takes another step closer to him. ]

You can't stay here. Do you have somewhere you can go?

[lionhearrt]

[ He can't. That's all he ever hears. What he can't do, what he mustn't do, what he's going to do. ]

It'll repair itself.

[ So, yes, he is going to stay right here, away from anyone he can hurt. ]

[darkestbefore]

It will. [ She's seen that happen before, at least. She even has a good idea on just how long it will take, by now. ] But in the meantime, do you have friends among the other gods you can stay with? Or... [ She pauses, hesitates. ] You're welcome to use Izumo's room at my temple. Considering the circumstances, I don't think he'd mind.

[lionhearrt]

[ There's a sharp look her way, the beast inside the world of red staring back at her through red eyes. ]

Leave.

[darkestbefore]

[ She lifts her chin, not backing down from that look in his eye. ]

The offer still stands. [ Her voice is soft, but does not waver as she meets his gaze evenly. ] And I know it changes nothing, but... I'm sorry, Mikoto.

[ She takes a step back to signal that she's going, before he lashes out at her with that rage she can see in his eyes. Considering he'd just blown up his temple, she's not foolish enough to think he's vented all his emotions just yet. She just hopes Izumo's absence doesn't remain a wound that will not heal for him. ]

[ Rage and sorrow begin to blend, the raw emotions uniting mind and body making it difficult by the moment to keep his powers in check. So, the moment, she turns Mikoto drops down onto a a large piece of rubble giving himself a moment's rest before using the last of his energy to teleport to his room buried in the rubble. It's the one thing in this world he can't destroy and even buried under the rest of the temple it's still in one piece giving him a place to pass out for the next three days while his temple repaired itself around him. ]
