"Striking an enemy? I see no blood or injury on you. The curse was simply a deterrent to ensure you shall not carry out your bloodlust any longer. If you had honestly decided to leave in peace you would never have felt its effects..."

*He would then block Yaikayo's first kick with his palm*

"...But it's clear you never had those intentions. I can see your mind is deranged. You equate the killing of two of my brothers, deceiving them, and desecrating holy ground the equivalent of me casting a deterrent curse on you with your back turned."

*He would then tilt his head up toward Juna's directions at Yaikayo's command to shoot him, though his eyes were still closed. Satisfied at the result, he would turn his attention back to Yaikayo*

"It seems your friend has better morals than you. I do not know why you two have come here today, but it is obvious the two of you have different intentions. Is that why there is such hate in your words?"

*As he says this he would lower his hands and Yaikayo's second kick would land true against his knee, bruising it. But the priest would not grimace in pain but rather hold his hand out and chant*

"Osin's presence is with us..."

*And a small banner with the symbol of a sun rising out of the ocean with a fish attempting to swallow it would appear to the south of the shrine. Yaikayo's foot would also burn as it made contact with the priest as radiant energy burned her. The priest's eyebrows would raise in surprised over this and mutter*

"I see... You're one of the tainted ones. I suppose your bloodlust may never be satisfied then...*

*He would then would limp over toward the banner before his knee would lock up and he would let out a sigh*

"I don't expect a dark being such as yourself to understand, but repentance helps ease the pain of the mind. The work my fellow brothers and I do by healing those in agony and providing food for the hungry eases those people's physical suffering. We may not be able to save everyone, but we do our best to carry out Osin's grace. Has your needless bloodshed eased anyone's suffering? Can you even say it has eased your own?"

*The priest would then hold his hand out toward Yaikayo and it would glow bright yellow*

"This will be my last warning. I do not wish to spill any blood, but I cannot allow you to continue spilling mine or my bothers' either. Leave in peace while you still can. Follow your comrades' example"
Judy
*The treton's leg seared up with pain as she kicked him, realizing exactly what magic trick he had pulled. A maniacal laughter comes out from her mouth, simply flexing her leg once.*

"A strike does not have to be physical. I could feel the disrupting magic in my body, and I can feel it still. Yet your kind has done far worse to me already. I do not fear death. I have taken *Many* Of those who you consider brother or sister, yet nothing amounts to what you have taken from me. Every kill grants me *Satisfaction*, the snapping of limbs, the impact of bone against flesh, the feeling of feeling their insides rupture."

*Yakaiyo's eyes flash red as she crouches down.*

"Your faith supposedly grants health and well-being; yet when *I* Came to Silnaria, I was despised, shunned. I was treated like a monster for existing."

"So I'll be the monster you say I am. I *Will* Kill you, and everyone else in this monastery, or die trying."
George
"So that's your answers... I'm sorry Osin's grace did not reach you in time. But I cannot allow you to bring others down into your darkness. I will now dedicate myself to purifying you from this world. I pray that your suffering isn't long."

*With that said he would launch a ball of holy light toward Yaikayo. However, perhaps he still had some reservations about harming her or the pain from the knee blow finally got to him, the blast would veer off a bit to the left the miss her*

"...It seems Osin still seeks to give you a second chance. It's still not too late to leave"

*Yaikayo wouldn't be able to tell if he was serious or if he was just trying to play off his miss, but in either case his hands would be poised up again ready for combat*
Judy
"That's what they thought they were doing when they burned down my home. Purifying me from their lands. My suffering ended a long time ago."

*The elf would soon have a feeling of being hunted as Yakaiyo rushes towards him with a lunging body hook aimed at the liver, followed by an almost wild overhand.*

*The priest would be unable to block Yaikayo's swift kick to the liver and would cough up blood as it made contact. Like previously her leg would burn up as radiant energy flowed into her, but her heritage helped her endure the pain. As for the priest, despite coughing up blood, his face still remained stern, and would raise his palm to block her overhand.*

"Hate begets hate. You can only find peace if you forgive. I do not hold a grudge against your killing my brothers or attempting to take my life. Feel the difference in our ways, feel Osin's love which flows like a waterfall"

*As he finished saying that a beam of light would appear over Yaikayo and much like a waterfall radiant energy would wash over her. Thankfully with her quick reflexes she would only find her should caught by the downfall.*

*That said, the priest wasn't finished. With his other two palms he would hold them out toward Yaikayo and chant*

"The sailors who did not have faith in Osin were lost at sea, with no way out. Looking into the sea they only saw the abyss"

*Two balls of light would shoot toward Yaikayo, but her reflexes would be quick enough to dodge them as well.*

"I see you are at the very least dedicated to your craft. If only you showed the same dedication to do something good for the world..." *The priest would mutter as he coughed up more blood*

Judy
"I'd rather have justice than peace. And the only love I needed was taken away from me."

*She could sense that the radiant magic was quickly destroying her. She needed to end this now. Quickly, Yakaiyo performs a Rolling Thunder, twisted to aim at the back of the elf's neck.*
George
*The kick would contact with the priest's neck and a crack would be heard, but the priest would remaining standing. Blood would start pouring through the sides of the lips, but he would still reach out and grab a hold of Yaikayo's leg, ensuring the radiant energy that he surrounded himself with would seep into her*

"...This isn't justice. It's simply needlessly vengeance. Justice doesn't bite back, but vengeance does, just like how this energy flows into you. You've dealt more damage to yourself, than I had done to you... If you have chosen peace you wouldn't be in as much pain. Love isn't limited, you can always get more. Love can heal..."

*As he says this his hands would glow with a feint gentle yellow, but would feel warm. Yaikayo would feel some her wounds start to recover as the energy flowed into her. The energy would come to an end and the priest would take a knee, still holding onto Yaikayo's leg*

"...I could've shown more love to others. But it seems my time has come. My time to return to Lord Osin. And as such... As much as I would've wanted to leave you with love... I must protect the brothers I love dearly as well"

*With that his hands would glow once more but unlike before it would be a harsh burning sensation and it would flow up her leg. The priest would keep on desperately holding on as more blood continued to spill from his mouth and nose, the glow reaching Yaikayo's gut before finally his grip would loosen and he would fall over to the ground. It would seem Yaikayo had finally killed the priest...*
Judy
"Do you think I care about the love from someone like you? The race that killed my family in cold blood? You do not know true love like I do; the love of a husband, of a *Family*. And you ripped it away from me. Nothing can ever replace that. Ever."

*The treton grinned as she saw the elf stumble, but was soon replaced by a look of confusion as she felt warmth flow through her leg, and then anger as she felt the magic burn through her, yelling out and gritting her teeth. She took a knee as she felt her leg burn, her internal organs rupture, and her blood pressure drop. Nevertheless, she stood back up, draining the fallen priest of his blood.*

*The obviously injured vampire looked to Juna, a look of hate and anger in her eyes. Yakaiyo is silent as she limps over to the other two fallen elves, draining them of blood as well, climbing back up to Juna.*

"You stood back and did nothing... We would have been done right there!"

*Yakaiyo's voice is bitter, but quiet.*

"Right now you're as useless as a sack of rice. It's like if someone gave me a feather and told me to kill someone with it. If you don't start doing *Something*, then I'll kill them all myself or die trying. And there's hell of a lot more of those things in there. The job's never going to get done at this point."

*The treton lets out a sigh.*

"Look, whatever people you think these are, they're not. They're monsters. Monsters that learned to speak and build like us. They may have a smile on their face, but deep down inside, they want nothing other than to get rid of you by *Any* Means. And *You*. You're a beastkin. Do you know what they do to your kind? They *Enslave* Them, forcing them to work or die, for nothing while they laugh away and party. If not, you're treated like trash. So are you really going to spare monsters just because they look nice?"
Stewart
*Juna's ears would lower as she heard Yakaiyo yell out, finding herself slowly backing away from the edge of the roof. Her hands had gone numb while holding the bow and arrow in them, having not found its use in the brief moment of tension. She could hear Yakaiyo climbing up and seeing her at the edge of her vision, the Canifor would lower her gaze.

She couldn't say she would have been surprised to get some sort of lashing back from her hesitation and, from the bitter way Yakaiyo spoke to her, this much was expected.*"I know..."*She'd murmur under her breath when the Vampiress said she did nothing.*"I know..."*She'd say again after being called as useless as a sack of rice.*"I know..."*She'd respond with a sigh as she mentioned the job never going to get done at this point.

 The Canifor listened to the woman's lecture, hearing of how they enslaved her kind. Juna knew little of it, she hardly knew her own kind for that matter. Yakaiyo asked if she was willing to spare them and internally she wasn't sure if she should yes or no. Were the elves monsters? Would she be a monster for attacking those that may not have partaken in it? It was confusing for her to think about, so much weight in having to decide of whether or not someone deserved to lose their own life.*

"I'm sorry Yakaiyo..."*She'd say instead. Juna rose a hand to her face, partially to rub at it to rid herself of the stress in considering it, the other so that she didn't have to cry in front of her.*"It's so hard for me to take a person's life Yakaiyo... I'm sorry, I'm not like you... I just can't..."
Judy
*The treton looks down. Would they really not be able to complete the mission because they gave her a teammate that wasn't willing to kill?*

"Do you at least have something that could help me? A healing pack, or something like that?"

*Yakaiyo's eyes flash with a sudden sharpness.*

"Wait. I don't need you to kill them. I need you to shoot them. Can you do that for me? Please? I understand that it's hard to do this at first, so I won't try to force it on you the first time; maybe just a little target practice. I'll take care of the rest."

*Yakaiyo's tone is almost motherly, as if she were teaching a child about a new subject or idea. It might have been heartwarming if the topic wasn't so grisly.*
Stewart
"No..."*She'd answer quietly to Yakaiyo's question of her having a healing pack of some sort. Even Juna felt a bit disappointed in her own response. They could have prepared more she supposed, though it most likely wouldn't have made the outcome any better. With the Vampiress asking if she could just shoot them for her while she did the rest, Juna would slowly lower her hand from her face, the whiteness of her eyes appearing as a more puffy red from what tears she had already shed which were most likely already collected in the palm of her hand.*

"You want me to wound them to make it easier for you to kill them..."*She'd say in a dry tone, seeing no other reason why Yakaiyo would ask her to simply to do that. Juna casted her gaze down towards her arrow. An archer shot to kill, anything less was but torture for the victim. It was something she'd come to realize in all her attempts at trying to avoid hitting someone lethally only for them to bleed out later after countless wounds inflicted on them.

Shoot as target practice. Don't kill, simply shoot them. This was just practice for Yakaiyo wasn't it? Just bodies to attack and reap the rewards of later as if they weren't worth anything more. Juna supposed she was half as guilty for it as well. She considered pleading with Yakaiyo to let them be, but it was already too late for that.*"I'll fight if I need to... But... I won't spill blood without reason..."*She'd say.*"Your hatred for them runs deeper than this mission... I know..."

*Juna would continue, thinking back to what Yakaiyo had mentioned about losing her family. Juna didn't know how that must of felt nor could she bring herself to try to reason with a Vampiress who's already sworn vengeance on an entire race.*"I can't avenge them for you... And as much as I'd rather we let them be... I know I can't stop you from going forward with it anyways... I'll stay here in case anything happens... But Elves are people just like anyone else... And I won't treat them like targets because you don't

See them as I do..."
