#1Setesh 

Aspects of Failure [C] Empty Mon Apr 10, 2023 10:39 am

Setesh
Setesh travelled all the way to Hosenka for this job, having felt that this task will be challenging enough to put his skills to the test. According to what Setesh learned from the client, there is a powerful and infamous criminal loose in Hosenka and this very criminal threathened to kidnap the actresses. The job seemed like a simple protection quest, but Setesh knew that if the rumors were to be believed, it was by no means going to be a simple job.
He prepared ahead of the performance, scouting out the locations the kidnapper might strike from, but found surprisingly few spots that could offer a significant advantage. The fire mage had been well trained by his mother, but still could not figure out where the assassin will strike. He did figure out that striking in the middle of the play would make the most sense, as everyone's guard would be lowered by the performance; people would be too focused on the show to care about anything else and a competent assassin could easily strike their target in an instant. Having conducted his thorough sweep, the fairy mage retreated to a balcony and waited for the play to begin.
Indeed, it did not take very long at all. Just as Setesh predicted, the assassin would strike when the audience was completely distracted by the theatrical ongoings. As the lights on stage flickered dramatically, in what seemed like a single instant, a masked figure stood on the wooden canvas, with his hands wrapped tightly around the throats of two actresses. The people in the arena erupted in fear, as many simply chose to run immediately, fearing the worst.
"Now, now. Let's all play nice. I will be taking those little swans away as punishment for not heeding my warning. I don't recommend you try to stop me. If you do, someone may get hu-"
The assassin spoke, but did not get to finish his monologue, as a fiery bullet coming seemingly out of nowhere buried itself into his stomach and forced him back. Setesh knew - he had only one chance to rescue the actresses. He leaped into the air and used all his strength to bounce off the balcony rail in the direction of the stage.
A blink of an eye later, Setesh had clad his fist in a fiery aura and charged into the assassin, furher knocking him backwards and releasing his grip on the hostages.

Setesh
"As if I'd let you, you piece of shit!" Setesh shouted and prepared himself to smash the opponent's face with a well placed hammer first, but found himself shocked at the ease with which the opponent blocked the attack. Just from that one instant, the fire mage could tell that he would not win in a contest of physical strength.
"A mage, hm? It doesn't matter. With a spell of that level, you cannot harm me." With a precise movement, the assassin threw Setesh off, launching him into a nearby wooden sculture, which exploded in shrapnel upon making contact with the boy's body.
"As I thought, This guy's on a different level from the others I fought. But he's not as good as he thinks he is. He still hasn't noticed."
The assassin took a few steps forward towards Setesh.
"I will kill you first. Please, try to entertain me."
"But I can't fight him here. My fire magic won't work well on that wooden stage, I'll burn the whole place to the ground."
Setesh recovered himself and prepared for the coming attack. The assassin attacked with fury and speed, rushing at the fairy mage with great speed and overwhelming physical strength. Setesh did his best to dodge and counter, but was ultimately unable to stop all the attacks, as several made contact and one was dangerously close to landing on a vital spot. Nonetheless, the boy sacrificed his defense for the perfect time to counterattack. As the assassin was preparing for a finishing blow, Setesh attack using conserved strength and with a well placed kick launched his opponent into the now-empty audience area. The fire mage needed to move the fight to an area that wasn't made of wood and he succeeded at doing just that.
Not wishing to give his opponent time to recover, Setesh drew his hand backwards and created a flaming sphere in his hand. Before long, he thrust his hand forward and the disc launched, embracing Ayakashi in a dance of fiery destruction. As the dust settled, the masked warrior stood there; wounded, but alive and more than ready to fight.
"I'm going to enjoy ripping you to shreds for this."
"Sorry, I've got other plans for the evening."

Setesh
Having said that, Setesh stretched his hand backward, as if pulling on something and just then a magic circle appeared under Ayakashi. In an instant, fiery chains erupted from the seal and wrapped around his body, with one chain leading straight into Setesh' hand.
"Surprised? You should be. You fight carelessly. I already put the spell on when I punched you."
In response, the assassin laughed. This unnerved Setesh. What was so funny about that situation, being bound and nearly helpless.
"And what exactly is that spell going to do? Conjured chains are nothing to me."
The assassin took on a wide stance, as if preparing to unleash something. In an act of great focus and willpower, Ayakashi gathered his strength and attempted to break the chains, but - to his own surprise - found himself unable to do so.
Setesh grinned.
"Oh, I agree. But it's not just the chains you see. When they wrap around you, the intense heat and fiery energy penetrate your body. They weaken your muscles, take away your strength. The spell is still not complete, to be fair, but it seems like it will do just fine. Now, I have an offer for you. "
With a wave of his hand and a gesture, Setesh had created another magic circle under his opponent. This one, however, was twice the size of the previous one. An extreme amount of magic energy and fire began to form under Ayakashi.
"You can give up like a good boy and play nice. Or you can burn to death. You won't be able to break out and this spell is strong enough to maim you."

Setesh
A blazing inferno struck out from the circle and formed itself in the shape of a panther's paw, brimming with rippling energy.
"On second thought, though. You strike me as a pretty bad guy. So I think I'm just going to rid the world of you."
As Setesh prepared to unleash his spell, something most unexpected happen. In a single instant, Setesh could sense the presence of another intruder and, in that very same instant, Ayakashi had completely vanished; the chains that had just now held him, simply vanished.
Shocked, Setesh tried to the assassin, but quickly realised it was futile - he already escaped.
"Fuck. Well, at least the actressess survived, so I guess the job's done. But I'm still angry I couldn't finish that twat. Tch."
Nasser retrieved his reward and left, dissatisfied, but at least somewhat content with the fact that it was a job well done. Whatever snatched Ayakashi wasn't something Setesh could contend with, so in the end it was the best case scenario.
