The pale varghen wasn't sure if it would matter if he explained what had happened or not to her, the socially inept lizard trying to hit on someone who doesn't understand basic social ques because it wasn't important to her. He decided to just speak about it later, wanting to focus more on knowing her right now instead of trying his luck. "You traveled and studied, that actually sounds rather nice. Haven't traveled nearly as much, you have any tales you want to tell? If you want to that is."

the day i met a god should be interesting."

 

she says flatly, lifting her head in a gesture to emulate looking at you.

 

"WOuld that suffice to an experience youd be interested in hearing about."

[Armoured Priest]

"Well I sure do think so, please go on." Thaes encouraged her, now wondering what sort of 'god' thing she had met in her travels. Considering what she could do, he wonder what this person or thing could do for her to all it such a designation of such meaning.

[Thugren]

she sits back and folds her hands.

 

"In tibet...As i moved amoungst the ruins of the old world i found a creature drinking water.....It was humanoid ... Ish.. And weak.I provided it with a skin of water and it showed me to an ancient cavern where it was holding vigil over a sleeping being.. From my work with Augustus i learned that this being is a shard of a being called Defiance. An "outsider" Or to be more succinct, what old world Christians called an angel."

 

"I helped wake it up by the creatures behest and when the angel awoke he touched my head... Giving me a whole librarys wrth of knowlege of itself and its god... It was pretty interesting to be linked to that creature for a short while."

[Armoured Priest]

Thaes felt more confused than anything by the story Kani had told. He didn't think she was lying or exaggerating anything, but it was very odd for him to hear things like 'gods', 'angels', and 'outsiders'. The sort of upbringing he had, the Komodo never really paid much attention to anything on the theology side of things or had much faith in them either. "Defiance? Could you tell me more about it and its god? I know I never heard anything like this before." He asked, obviously wanting to know more to make heads and tails of what he was hearing.

[Thugren]

The angel defiance...Or more succinctly, Micheal archangel of war..Not the angelli duplicate... THe chirstian angel of combat ."

 

She says carefully.

 

'he is in a severely weakened state..Being cared for by a sect of templars that found him....I saw the entirety of his lore and creation...I also know that there are more beings like him...ANd that he is readying for a war."

[Armoured Priest]

Thats didnt really show it on his reptilian features but he was taken back by what the archivist was telling him, about actual biblical Angel's. But war, he did understand war, but what war would an angel be getting ready for? "A war? With who?" He asked.

[Thugren]

A war...With everything ."

 

She says simply as her hands continue to work.

 

"we may busy ourselves with mortal coil....But the things humanity praised..Never went away...THeyve been fighting a war since the dawn of time, and will continue to fight it even after a black hole consumes all we know.....This is a battlefield amoungst a million to them...... We are just giving them vessels to fight."

[Armoured Priest]

"Hmph, certainly puts a new perspective to things." Thaes commented, mulling over the idea that what was an apocalyptic event for them was just probably a footnote on the scale Kani was implying was happening always. That and being just being pieces to said war. The biggest questions humanity, or for life on earth in general, was either are we alone in the galaxy and or is there a god. And from what Kani had just told him the answer was yes to both. "What so you think about it then? About what you just told me."

[Thugren]

"I think it makes sense."

 

she says calmly., her hands never ceasign their works.

 

"Through micheals eyes i saw another wolrd like this...Stripped of life and its inhabitants driven out like ants..... Ive seen beasts with impossible proportions fighting with clean carved statues...... Its beuaitful in its own way."'

 

 

she sas and stops for a moment.

 

'THis time though it seems...DIffernet."

[Armoured Priest]

He probably should have expected that she would have taken the whole thing better than most people he knew due to her seemingly analytical mind, though now he wondered what she meant with that last bit. "Different how dare I ask?" Thaes asked, curious what the answer would be.

[Thugren]

She considers the conversation calmly.

“ it seems like ..... there is desperation to this one .... like the sides are more invested... at least to the Angels .”

She looks at a bible that she had been reading before he had come .

“ maybe the angels take this world just a bit more personally.”

[Armoured Priest]

"I guess that works for us, otherwise its Nightmare's way." Thaes reasoned, unsure of himself if he actually understood the significance of what it means if the sides were more invested in their own world over countless others. He glanced at the book she was holding, now seeing it was a Bible. "Didn't think you had any personal items with you." He commented, gesturing at it, considering he didn't exactly had clothes presay, unless she found a copy in the village.

[Thugren]

i read this to understand his words."

 

she says, recalling the wounded angel that she found in that temble.

 

"WHy he fought...WHy the angel of the father owould war so hard for beings whos lives were not even a flash in the pan for his existence.

 

"It explains why...and for what reason he fought so hard."

[Armoured Priest]

"....Could you explain to me then?" Thaes asked Kani after a brief pause on his part. He wasn't even sure why he wanted to ask that, he never had much reason to look into theology before, nor found any solace in it like other people. Thaes just did not have strong opinions on it one way or another till now. Maybe it was the idea that it was possibly in fact real or just his curiouscity getting him again. That and he did want to see how someone like Kani understands it too if he was honest with himself.

[Thugren]

Micheal...Unlike his sister beleives this world is different...That we are worth saving."

 

Kani folds her hands as she recalls the bandaged warriors ords.

 

"That there are people here that can alter the course of ths war..."

 

Her face splits into a smile.

 

"i Beleive this is the case as well."

[Armoured Priest]

Thaes was quiet for a bit and nodded. "That's more optimistic than I expected, compared to what was mentioned before." the scientist admitted, sounded a little more relieved. His mind has been running itself ragged at the staggering possibilites and his position in the world and the universe, which felt minute currently. The smile was nice to see as well. "Who do you think could change it then? Cain? Augustus? Malcor?" He asked, more to get an opinion than to get actual answers, wanting to hear her thoughts on it.

[Thugren]

Cain ...... he is interesting ...”

Kanu days with a smile as she folds her arms .

“ he is one of a select group that can slap the hand throwing the dice .... but only if things go the right way.”

She tilts her crested head toward you and smiles.

“ out of the wild cards I find him the most interesting ...... you as well.”

[Armoured Priest]

"Hm, I'm not surprised with Cain, he would be the kind of guy.....wait me?" He interrupted himself after he realized Kani included him as well, affecting the fate of the world was probably the last thing he expected to be apart off even when he thought his work would when he was still working under his mother Nocturne, liking to do everything as private as he could. "What makes you think that at all?" he asked, a little flattered that she held that opinion.

[Thugren]

the archivist chuckles and shakes her head.

 

"You are someone who shoiuldnt be asfar as you are....YOu where set to fail..But you are making yourself succeed...... Somone that i can see pushing themselves harder everey day...."

 

She points at the room where the surgery will be helf.

 

"You are performing the impossible."
