[Kenoma] Discussion

( 🟣 - Emet, πŸ”΅ - Ciel )

Good Evening.

There are some within our ranks who we have not had the pleasure of meeting. I am Emet-Selch. Ciel and I serve as tacticians and teachers to the Kenoma.

I function as acting counsel for devising strategies. Additionally, some of you may find yourself in possession of new magical abilities that you did not have before. I am available to assist you with honing your newfound magical skills. To those of you who find yourself injured, I can provide my magic to heal your wounds so that you may be hale and whole once more.

[ He sighs. My, is this a mouthful. ]


My name is Ciel. I am versed in martial arts and am proficient with most types of weaponry. There are various means of developing melee combat prowess across Achamoth, but if you would like personalized instructions at any level, please contact me and we’ll arrange for a schedule. I can also perform magical healing along with Father Paul.

Unfortunately, We do not have much time for pleasantries. The Pleroma will soon be at our doorstep. Their goal is to retrieve their allies who remain captive inside our walls, and our goal is to lure them deep within the Citadel where we may enact our own plans. You will be provided assignments once it is closer to the promised hour. Prepare in your own way meanwhile; The Citadel is host to all manners of weaponry and the army's training grounds.

[ It’s kept a little vague and unspecific. Though they do intend to give adequate information, there is also no question that they have had traitors in their midst as of late. Everything will be doled out with due caution. Although, there will be a silent message sent to each person asking them to respond with some information of their abilities. ]


We are at war, bloodshed is inevitable. We will be attacked soon, and we must defend our keep. Consider this communion address a formal hub for discussion and organization of the battle to come. We will begin with information sharing of the Pleroma: knowing their names, appearances, and capabilities will better prepare us in dealing with them in combat. Aions may develop new abilities at any time, however; intel from the mission in Venera and Godsblood may very well be outdated by now, so do not assume anything we go over in this address as the extent of what they can do. Anything you may have witnessed at the shrines can be helpful, including other newcomers you may have met that did not return to Achamoth..

To the third wave of newly awoken Aions, it is regrettable that we cannot welcome you better, you’ve unfortunately arrived at a tumultuous time on Horos. If this is all too much for any reason, that’s fine. Contact me privately, and we can at least arrange for you to be somewhere safe during this. To those used to wielding great power, please get some practice in and verify your new limits. Becoming an Aion may have weakened you, do not let that catch you off-guard on the battlefield.


To those who are new, introduce yourselves and ask any questions you have. We will answer your questions as best we can, and I encourage our fellow Kenoma to chime in where they may. Do try to keep your questions interesting enough to be worth reading.

Or defect. Betrayal is starting to become popular these days.

Ahh, yeah, the most dangerous— and most powerful, for the moment due to his fusion with the Innocence—is Estinien, the guy that gramps mentioned. [ he'll flash the same image that Emet-Selch did for her. ] When he's not bolstered by a higher being, I'm not sure he's the most powerful, but still definitely the most dangerous.

Although the enemy is showing their willingness to get their hand dirty, he's still basically their alpha attack dog. He will ambush and otherwise attack Kenoma on sight. He used to be more lenient and willing to restrain himself, but after what happened to him in Venera and now the two prisoners being basically his closest friends here, all bets are off.

Selchy did seem pretty annoyed by him. Guess he's taken out more than a few of our guys, huh?

But if he truly is a dragonslayer... not that I'm worried, of course. It's just... [ And using a lance on top of that... talk about both her weaknesses rolled into one. ] Have you fought him before?

He has, wasn't around when he did, though. Not sure if it's just him normally, but he's pretty unnecessarily cruel when he gets into it. [ doesn't sound like childe is condemning him, just pointing it out. ] It might be the Innocence becoming overly protective, however.

Yeah, he's a dragonslayer. I don't know much about it, but apparently, we have similar experiences in war except his wars were with dragons. Although I've known him since we arrived at the same time, and am intrigued by his status as a warrior, I've only actually fought with him once and it was brief.

—he ran. [ childe sounds really annoyed by it. ] I'm assuming because he couldn't afford to really throw down in a battle that might leave him injured when he has Himeka and Abel to rescue. I have a bone to pick with him for ditching our fight, so if you decide you feel like backup, you can just reach out to me via communion. You feel like you're the same Legacy as me and Estinien, so.
uproared: (have to stop saying)

I've fought against many demonic beasts, but never a dragon. He must be quite the warrior to manage that.

[ She wasn't alive when Vortigern was slain, but she heard stories of what it took β€” the combined forces of two holy swords, and both of Britain's strongest knights. Even if the dragons Estinien fought were, perhaps, not on the same level as an incarnation of the land itself, that's an insane feat.

She's in the middle of digesting that information when Childe continues, and instantly bristles. ]


... Don't insult me. I'm not the sort of person who needs backup in a fight. Most likely, it will be you who summons me to save your sorry hide. [ Okay, sure. It's all bluster, though, and she's back to normal a moment later. ] But we need not defeat him outright β€” only stop the Pleroma from accomplishing their goal. In this, we have the advantage.

[ somehow he figured she would say that. It waits to be seen, of course, one way or another but he'll go along with it, anyway. ] I promise to keep you on speed dial for my sake.

Hm... He might not retreat depending on the situation. I'm not sure how desperate he will be to make a smart versus reckless decision when that time comes. It'll be worth waiting for , I'm sure.
