416 The Greater House of Inferno conclusion (1/2)
Vooni arrived in the middle of the courtyard and pointed at a random person. ”You.”
/Alpha: Semmi: Looks like a melee dps?
/Alpha: Pon: Two swords and medium armor. It might be a good fight.
/Alpha: Nix: No it won't.
/Alpha: Shae: It's already over.
”Begin!”
[Dragon Leap][Shield Slam]
Combination Successful!
Vooni appeared in front of her target, her shield slammed through her opponent's guard and into his face. The sounds of bones breaking could be heard as he was sent skidding across the courtyard.
Black wings sprouted from Vooni's back, she flashed passed the tumbling fighter, climbed suddenly, and then banked into a steep dive. Her sword traveled completely through her opponent and into the stone courtyard beneath him. It didn't stop until her handguard slammed into his armor.
Bracot Yu has been slain.
[Winner: Vooni]
/Alpha: Wind: Holy crap.
/Alpha: Semmi: Woah... Is that the standard?
/Alpha: Nix: A very high standard. Everyone did well here, 1v1 fights can be chaotic.
The blue-robed man appeared in the center of the courtyard, his hands were holding a large scroll. ”Please approach.”
Inferno walked to the center of the courtyard, to their surprise, all nine of their opponents appeared there also. The mediator turned towards the vanquished. ”You have fought bravely, but have failed in your quest to raise a Greater House. House of Swords, you are dismissed.”
/Alpha: Nix: House of Swords?
/Alpha: Vooni: It's one of the normal Houses of Solomon City. I don't know any of them but their reputation is solid.
The blue-robed man paused while the members from the House of Swords gated out. Finally, he turned toward Nix. ”Inferno has succeeded in its quest to raise a Greater House.”
Nix was staring at the empty space where their opponent had been standing. ”How did we end up fighting them?”
”They qualified to attempt the Greater House quest, they have been waiting for another group to do the same.”
/Alpha: Semmi: Single elimination battle? That's brutal.”
Vooni's dark eyes showed her interest. ”Will they be able to attempt it again?”
”If another Greater House falls, the chance will come again.”
”They were given two options. Win all five fights of their choosing, or one out of five that their opponents chose.”
/Alpha: Pon: They chose the better deal, there's no way they were going to get five wins over us.
/Alpha: Vooni: Agreed.
/Alpha: Nix: Now comes the good part.
/Alpha: Shae: What?
/Alpha: Semmi: He's got that look. What are you up to Nix?
Nix smiled at the blue-robed man and held out his hand. ”Anything else?”
”You will need to appoint two individuals. A House Speaker to sit in on the Greater House Assembly Meetings, and a Battlemaster to train your members.”
Nix already knew who he wanted. ”Rhy will be the House Speaker for the Greater House of Inferno and Vooni will be the Battlemaster.”
/Alpha: Nix: You two okay with that?
/Alpha: Rhy: Yes.
/Alpha: Vooni: It will be my pleasure.
”Well done, may the Greater House of Inferno become a shining light in Solomon City.” The blue-robed man handed Nix the scroll and then faded away.
Slowly the afternoon sky above them began to darken, the ground beneath them started to shake causing the members of Inferno to cling to each other for support.
/Alpha: Semmi: HOUSES!
All around them the courtyard started to change. The light of the sun was replaced with darkness which quickly turned bright as several lamps grew upward from the courtyard to illuminate their surroundings. A large red-bricked manor appeared in the central courtyard. Directly to the east and west of that, two smaller manors formed.
