“Take all the little stinging jabs at me you’d like Calypso Seldab,” standing from her rickety seat as if pulled by a mysterious puppeteer’s strings, Byakuren leisurely strolled to the opposite side of the table. Lifting her magenta gaze from the stone floor, her expression was far more amused as compared to how venomous her words had been. Slipping her slight form to sit at the edge of the table, her single hand lifted to tenderly stroke Calyspo’s metallic hued locks, “so hansom, so fair of hair, a warriors build…every woman’s dream.” Sarcasm. Lowering her hand, it came to caress the side of his cheek with the very tips of her fingers. Byakuren’s eyes were half lidded as she smiled down at him, her white hair slipping around her shoulders as she leaned closer. “I know you.”
Whispered, Byakuren’s voice was eclipsed by that of a man’s. “A boy trained in Xim, you were a prodigy only rival by Dimitri, a boy of similar age. You two always ended in a draw in matches, weather your master stopped you or not. But Dimitri never graduated; he was expelled for learning dark arts. That irked you to no end, you knew he was stronger then you and you did everything in your power to continue with Xim and graduate. Later in life you kept searching for him determined to show your superiority to him. You found a swords master; you learned much from him in your ‘quest’ but your teacher was poisoned in his sleep, leaving you as his disciple along with the armor you now wear.” Slowly, the masculine voice of Slemrof, Calypso’s master, left Byakuren and she continued to lean closer. “And all you’ve wanted since then is to become the greatest swordsman the world over.”
Slipping off the table, she dropped her hand and paced away. “Understand that strength of body and strength in the elements is not ‘power’. Yes, those strengths are part of power but so are charisma, mental acuity and relationships of all kinds. Power is a balancing act, to much of something and you tumble down the proverbial mountainside and away from what you’ve strived for, for so long. But, if you won’t take my word for it, beyond this mountain range is a vast desert just past the rain shadow. To the south east is a miniscule oasis, if you can even call it that. There is nothing remarkable about it, now glowing water, no huge and thriving palms. Go there just before the rainy season begins and wait for the first thunder storm, then drink from the oasis waters as the rain falls and lighting flashes. Those allied with the lightening elements will gain a greater understanding of the element and a blessing by the ‘Genesis’ of the element. A blessing of elemental strength.”

Fluffy was enraged. The ugly man that stood before them was getting advice. It growled in discontent as its master spoke. The gigantic dragon lifted its tail, and fire began to circle around the beast, until finally so much flames engulfed him, that the rocks around the dragon began to melt. A large growl began to erupt from it until finally a blast of power erupted from it. The dragon was angry, and it was glaring straight at Calypso. Fluffy burst forward and blew fire into the air. A tear of fire erupted from its mouth, and it began to run deeper into the cave, anger and sadness overcoming it. It was like a jealous dog, with Calypso's wish slightly granted, Fluffy had less time with Byakuren. As it looked around, it had a pinged feeling of sadness for torching her home once again. She was a good master, and Fluffy came back, with its head down, so that she could smack him on the pout, like she usually did in times when others came.

"If they sting, i'll wear some protection then." The man told Byakuren in a cocky tone. Perhaps the others will get the joke, but it did not matter if they did or not.
The platinum warrior began to notice Byakuren walk behind him, touching his hair and even giving him a nice comment about his hair and physique.
"It can be your reality if you want it to be." the platinum warrior told the oracle as he could feel her cold hands rubbing alongside his face. The warrior then exhaled throughout his nose, indicating that this feeling did not feel to bad as he then rubbed his hand alongside hers. It would seem like they were getting to know each other a bit more to others; after all, The platinum haired man did like to move fast.
The oracle then leaned over to whisper in the man's ear, lending her his ear to see if this would escalate. What the oracle then said in the man's ear kept the man silent. Usually when you have a name such as oracle, you would know things about a person such as their name and past. As a matter of fact, the man would be a bit dissapointed if she did not know anything about him. But it was the voice that he heard that suprised him; instead of the oracle's soothing, yet somewhat powerful voice, it was none other than the person that the man who took him in; made the platinum haired warrior the man he is today.
"It's been a while since i heard him." he said to himself in a low tone, only being heard by Byakuren.
From there, it seemed like the oracle finally gave some useful information for the platinum haired warrior; he was all ears this time around. She told him of an oasis south east from there and to travel there before the rain season begun. From there, he would drink the oasis water after the thunderstorm initiates. Once then the power that he was seeking would be obtained and would be one step closer to fulfilling his goal.
The platinum warrior then released himself from his chair and saw fluffy acting up a bit more, as if it was mad that the warrior had obtained exactly what he wanted. The platinum haired warrior paid no attention to fluffy this time as he gave one last sentence to Byakuren before he was off.
"Thanks, and i'll keep that in mind."

"Ah, the eternal question." Closing the distance between herself and Tatsuya, Byakuren's alabaster hand strayed to touch his shoulder. Touch, it was one of the small pleasures she couldn't help but indulge in no matter the situation. Letting her thin fingers drift higher, she pushed his gray bangs away from his eyes and allowed her hand to hover at the side of his neck. "What an interesting birth, bore by the elements and multiple deities."
Byakuren's typical cold amusement softened, existence was a subject that she felt was not the time for her depressive attitude. "Tatsuya Hasu, for you I can give a partial answer. I am an Oracle, but I am not omnipotent...existence is something that I can never answer fully." Softly stroking the side of his neck with her thumb, she made sure to look him fully in the eyes. "When the major elements clash something must always be left behind, in the cataclysm a void is created. That void dissipates rapidly afterward, but if filled with the pieces needed to create a body and soul a living being can be left behind. Your an embodiment of the separate gods and created by their whims. Often times, they want to exist further, to see a piece of themselves live through a life they could never dream of living. Tatsuya, from you I feel the energies of five deities and an amusement they all share." Dropping her hand she smiled gently, letting her answer be absorbed.

Dewvraenne slid through the entrance of the cave nearly soundlessly, and allowed herself a quick glimpse of the surroundings before acting. The atmosphere was heavy, filled with the slightly uncomfortable feeling of presence... Nothing definite, nothing material, just a feeling, a curious scent in the air, maybe a pinch of static electricity... All seemed so solemn, so respectful and yet not enough from time to time, so concentrated, so... Vraenne ran out of words to describe the stunning atmosphere. Now, she understood why the climb was for, why everyone wanted to get here no matter what - although she still knew nothing about the oracle, she could feel she was much different than any other humanoid living being she had encountered.
For a moment or two, Dewvraenne stood motionlessly at the cave entrance, all of her senses shocked by the stunning revelation. But soon, she came back to herself, back from the trance-like state. She took a step forward, and threw her hood back, letting the greenish black strands of hair fly in every direction around her. Then, she reached out with her arm to the wall, and knocked confidently on the stone two times, interrupting the heavvy atmosphere that lay over them.
