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!

It'll repair itself.

[ Like the last two times. Due to his powers, his temple comes with it's only self-repair mode. It really comes in handy at times like these. ]

[futhark]

How convenient... What are you, a god of death and rebirth?

[ It would explain self-repairing temple. Not the best moment to sneak in a joke, but he can't help himself. ]

[lionhearrt]

The Sun.

[ He's a god of the sun. ]

[futhark]

Ah... that fits the bill too.

[ Surprisingly well in fact. ]

You know, the "sun dies for the night and gets reborn anew in the morning" metaphysical bullshit. [ Comes in package with being upgraded to a god. Well, he's not going to have much luck pulling information from this guy, so it better jumps straight to the business. ]

Anyway, what I wanted to say. I could put few wards around, to stop the spread of the fire outside the temple in case this happens again. [ How generous of him, is there a catch? ]

[lionhearrt]

[ A suspect look. ]

What kind of wards?

[futhark]

The same I used here a moment before. "Protection against fire" is what is literally written. I just add direction properties.

[ Into the temple. So the fire doesn't spread outside, as opposed to having few safe spots in the middle of an inferno.

It will work only once though. A fire will eventually use them up, and they'll need to be remade- omission of a detail ]

[lionhearrt]

How long will they work?

[ How much heat could they take? ]

[futhark]

It's not the amount time, it's the number of uses- [ They should stay here indefinitely, until another fire ]

Once. They will stop one blazing fire, then disappear, and will need to be rewritten again.

[lionhearrt]

And you'll rewrite them?

[futhark]

If I'm still here... [ People do disappear randomly, don't they? ]

[lionhearrt]

In exchange for what?

[futhark]

A favor, I suppose. [ A favor for a favor, makes sense. Especially in his book. But then he did not answer the earlier question... ]

But I didn't introduce myself properly, didn't I? [ He waves his hand in a light, meaningless gesture ] Cú Chulainn- that's it, I tend to go as Caster around here. Easier to pronounce.

[lionhearrt]

[ Caster. Tch. ]

You expect me to agree to a nameless favor.

[futhark]

What, is that not good enough for you, mister..?

[ Yes, he's sitting here and trying to fish for a name of another resident solar deity ]

[lionhearrt]

Suoh.

[futhark]

Mhhm. [ A drawn out sound as he commits the name to the memory ]

And an answer for the other question is..?

[lionhearrt]

[ He doesn't like this but he knows how far he's deteriorated. If he hurts his men in the next explosion... ]

If I don't like it, I don't do it.

[ Take it or leave it because he won't be giving a blank check to a stranger. ]
