Trekking up to the sanded shores of the sea, Triton gazed upon the waters. He had not felt the ocean's embrace for many days, but now he had arrived to his destination, which was a sea made by mainlanders. Impressive sight, it was! 

He made his way into it, and felt the water's touch. After only a moment of relish, he dove in and flew through the small ocean as a diving hawk through the wind. He emerged again, his hair of black soaked. "Ah yes! Man did well to create such a body!" A boisterous laugh belted from his chest, sounding throughout the air. Joy truly filled his bones.

[Onides Une]

Oni just hopped out of some thick shrubbery when Triton resurfaced and bolstered his glee. Needless to say she was startled a bit and slipped on the loose sand and landed on her tail with a deep "Omph!" escaping her throat.

She whimpered through pressed lips rubbing he pain of her extra appendage to sooth the newly forming ache that was now there.

Redder than brick, curved horns coming from opened skin from a thick forehead, and a tail that dragged slightly on the ground behind she wasn't the usual specimen to be seen across these lands.

[Triton Augustus]

At the cry, Triton threw his gaze toward its progenitor and was taken aback.

"WHAT IN POSEIDON'S NAME! HATH A DEMON CROSSED MY PATH?!?!" he uproared, hastening swiftly to the shore and grabbing a large read that had lost its life long ago. With a large stroke he broke the end, leaving behind a tip sharp to the touch.

"BEGONE FROM ME FIEND!" thundered he, marching with great pace toward the being.

[Onides Une]

"Omg that's so rood!" she stood and stopped her foot. "I like to be called a Tiefling, thanks much!" her cheeks flushed red seeing the new face.

"If you come any closer with that stick I-I'll be forced... To use my bigger... Stick..." her first time trying to be for reals intimidating. Might as well have opened mouth incerted a foot.

[Triton Augustus]

He halted and his brows furrowed. Baffled he was. "What trickery is this? What is this tiefling you speak of? And, too, what stick do you speak of? You are surrounded by nothing but sand and shrubbery!"

The islander surely knew not what he was to do. Was the demon meaning to distract his mind and heed? Was a trap laid that he now fell into?

[Onides Une]

Her demonic features shrunk into her body replaced with peachy skin and bright while wings and a spear materialized in her hands.

She pointed it right at him as he kept advancing hoping the pointy end will halt his advance. "This one!"

Qi:1

Bloodline! Angelic Warrior!

Spear of the Valkyrie - Oni can strike someone with her spear adding 1/2 her energy to her attack in holy damage!

+5 to all stats for the thread!

[Triton Augustus]

"AH!" the shout leaped from his lungs as the demon swiftly heaved at him. As if a frog his legs made a bound away from the imp.

With a distance now lying betwixt them, his mind wondered whence the spear came to be.

"Poseidon aid me.. You be both demon and witch!" declared the islander, erecting himself in awe.

[Onides Une]

"Ooooh!" she let down her angelic form and ripped open her back back and tossed a book in the sand a well worn page she expertly opened up to a D&D guide on Tiefling. "Look you over grown and well-chisled smurf! If you go around assuming people are witches and demons with out properly understanding or considering others feelings you are going to get yourself hurt and be alone! Educate yourself!"

[Triton Augustus]

Triton reared his spear and with haste delivered it into the spell book that she sought to cast upon him.

"Do not curse me so, creature! I know not why you behold me a 'smurf' as you say, nor am I familiar with such a being, but I assure you that it is not I!"

The blue islander resumed his erect stance he had prior to him halting her witchery, and spoke boldly, "I am Triton Augustus, son of Poseidon and guardian of his kingdom, the sea! And I command you, devilish wizardress, to return to the realm of the dead whence you came, and make known to Hades who rebuked you!"

[Onides Une]

He stabbed her book and it was like he stabbed her in the chest. She stepped back and caved in looking at it hand on her chest gripping her shirt tight. Her lip quivered and tears flooded out of her eyes. Her tail hung close and curved around her leg.

The next thing Triton would know is she was right infront of him, she would send a red open hand across his face with all her strength. The sound was loud as it would make the world quieted after that.

"You Jerk! Open your eyes see the truth and cast aside your cowardice!" she quickly hopped to her book after that and with drew the spear from its pages. She cried. It wasn't liked the book itself was in the greatest of shape because its well worn pages are from years of fun, memories, and stories.

She shouldn't have thrown it to the ground like that but she was getting nervous as he came with the intent to hurt her.

[Triton Augustus]

The creature began to weep. What... his thoughts whispered. Tears were never shed by demons. Had his mind deceived him? Had her physiognomy led him astray? Or was it she
that was deceiving him even now?

Before his mind's worded susurrations continued, she was before him. It was with greater quickness than his very own eyes' blink. He had only just begun to heave himself away when she struck him with the strength of the fin of a great white racing through the sea, from which came a vast cacophony that seemed as if to silence all the fish of the sea by which he stood and the birds of the wind above him.

She was then at her spell book, weeping over it.

It was in this moment that Triton dove not into the ocean of water, but the greater ocean of shame. What a fool he had been! This creature was certainly no demon, for if she indeed was so he would have certainly been returned to his maker. Nay, she was not so; emotion thrived within her as it lived within himself or mainlanders. He moved toward her, and he caught glimpse of what he once thought a spellbook, but no runes adourned it. Merely man's symbols and letters, and a picture of the creature she was. He now saw her offering of peace that he had been so cruel as to rebuke.

He stood behind her, his limbs powerless to the weight of chagrin upon him. "Little creature, I tell you, truly, disgrace be upon me. Shame fills my bones. I come not from this world nor know it well. Much knowledge has shown itself to me, but much I have yet to unveil. You ought not to be declared as such vile things as I declared you, and it seems I have indeed become a smurf. I cast aside my cowardice; not only so, I cast aside my pride. Grace, I ask of you, and my Father, though not deserving am I," with his last word uttered, Triton knelt onto one knee, and his head lowered itself with humility. A single tear found itself beneath his scarlet eye, and, as if it, like him, could not bear the weight of the contrition, it fell from his scales and landed upon the sand, fleeing within its grains from the pain within his heart. 

[Onides Une]

She saw him began to portray his guilt and she huffed a shakey breath. "You owe me a new b-book..." She sniffled looking at him with an utmost bitter expression.

"People often mistake me for a demon, truth too people did the same to the Tiefling race in this lore. I relate to them in that way, but..." She would turn to the pages that would describe the Demons of D&D including illustrations of them. "Appearance wise... They are not so different, while I understand, it still hurts me. Especially w-when I used to look human." her tears fell strong. She took the neck line of her shirt and tried to wipe her face of as much tears as she could. She looked at him through soggy eyes wondering if he understood.

[Triton Augustus]

Triton stood, placing his large hand upon her shoulder. "Be of peace, little one. You be not demon, nor witch. Never again shall I disgrace you with such a name, nor shall I allow any man or woman, beast or creature, heathen or saint to do the same. Instead, little woman, tell me your true name, if I may ask you of it." His gaze would seek to meet hers. 

[Onides Une]

Truthfully his accent and soothing ancient way of speaking was comfortable to the ear. She just couldn't be mad enough to remove his hand from her. As he just sounded sincere enough to calm her even as she held the book close to her chest.

"Onides Une, or people call me Oni for short... Sorry I called you a smurf, you are most certainly not a blue imp that stands inches tall and lives in a mushroom." Because obviously she gathered he had no idea just what a smurf was.

His "living under a rock" attitude seemed not his fault. Maybe she can offer some assistance. She wiped the last of her tears and swallowed what was left of her grief for the time being. In the end it was just a book and it can be replaced. While it wouldn't be the same book that has drool stains from late night readings, and scrawled notes where she incorporated later versions of the tiefling mechanics to fit this superior set of rules, and it wouldn't be the one that was a gift from her Dad after her Mother left Oni like a lost cause, making her believe in herself and embrace what was given. No it wouldn't be the same book but that was not the point to playing her favorite games.

"Do you need some help understanding some things? You don't seem to have a full and accurate concept of Qi."

[Triton Augustus]

With a face expressing great perplexity, Triton made not a sound once she had commenced her speaking.

"...an imp of the ocean's tint, inches in stature, finding its dwelling within a fungus.."

His heed had been transfixed on the being described and her inquiry had been left to drift in the wind. "Does your book speak of such beings? Is that how you know of them?"
