It was a beautiful day. The sun was bright, the clouds filled the sky. In fact, Vali was simply trying to join what was left of Crocus at this point. He wore dark shades and a light hooded jacket. Of course, like always, the hood covered his bright colored hair. He wasn't trying to run into trouble today, he was simply trying to make his way to the art gallery. Unlike his Viking counterparts, he found all types of art interesting. They all spoke words that didn't exist. One piece of art could mean many different things. And so with a slight pep in his step, he made his way to the Artisans building ready for a day of total relaxation. From the distance though, he could smell something burning and it was coming from the exact direction he was headed.

With a groan, he tried to ignore it but as he closed the distance he knew that he would not witness the beauty of Fiorian art. As he moved closer to the Artisans building, he could see nearly the entire bottom floor on fire. People were running out, screams filling the air alongside the thick dark-colored smoke. Vali clenched his jaw. Part of him wanted to help the innocent civilians, but the more immature side of him couldn't help but laugh at the limbless people who crawled from inside the building. With his fist over his mouth to cover his laugh, he watched and for a good long minute too until he noticed a familiar scent. Then it hit him... "Wait... did she actually do this? In broad daylight?" Vali twitched.

Vali watched in awe as the flames of Yumi's spells consumed the entire bottom floor. Honestly, this was frustrating for the Viking King because he was really looking forward to seeing the artwork of renowned artists. Now, they would have to replace all of the expensive pieces with other expensive pieces that probably wouldn't be ready for viewing for months. Vali watched... "Fool, are you trying to bring attention to yourself?" Vali had managed to see the fire and had also managed to remember the mechanics of it, however, using a spell like that would probably damage himself. He wasn't like Yumi; a daemon immune to destruction. Still, it would probably be useful to have, so he absorbed it.

When the fire settled he found Yumi standing in the middle of ash, and dead people. "Well Ms. Carnage, I do hope you managed to blow off some steam because if you stay here any longer it'll be a platoon of Rune Knights, Holy Knights, and possibly Royal Knights on your ass." He said to her, clear as day. "Maybe you should think about leaving death and destruction for when the sun isn't out." He said scratching his head. Yumi was unstable. While the Titan himself did have a few issues to work out, everything he did was calculated for the most part. Yumi, however, had no regard for the law of life, the law of consequence, or the law of law for fuck's sake. She was well needed and putting herself out there unnecessarily could potentially cripple the team.

Yumi was almost an entirely different person. The flames of her magic roared, tearing the building around them down. Every second seemed to be a second closer to total destruction for this place. Just like that, Yumi had managed to turn a landmark into shit. The little woman was extremely confident in herself, cocky in fact. All around them people had been fighting for their lives. Women, children, and men had all been crying for help. Soon this area would be flooded by Knights because the Witch of Carnage was a highly wanted criminal. The Viking King himself was shaken a bit by her excessive power.
Naturally, Yumi didn't care what time it was, she expressed that she found it more exciting to cause chaos during the day.

The young noble raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Hm." If he was as reckless as her he probably would have been on similar timing, alas his goals required more discreet maneuvers. The daemoness continued to speak, sharing with the titan that she had grown significantly stronger since they last saw each other. That was obvious and Val nearly winced at the thought. Unlike her, he had been significantly weakened- at least for the time being. Suddenly the ground beneath her cracked, causing the ground beneath the area to rumble. Then again, her fire roared. This time it destroyed what was behind her. All the young Jarl could do was watch. He was intrigued by who she was and what she stood for.

With a snicker, he responded. "We both know that they are not that smart, aye? So how about not killing any more innocent bystanders." He was truly amazed at what he saw. Although the Artisans building was becoming nothing by the second, Vali had managed to witness art after all; the art of destruction. "I have been trying to stay off the radar and enjoy the little time I have left in the capital, but I guess I cannot now." He said calmly. He could smell multiple fragrances and body odors collectively traveling towards them and knew that they were already close. Just then, Yumi had lifted her finger, snapped it and caused a magic circle to appear in the air behind Vali, causing rain to fall and forcing the Knight behind him to add his voice to the sea of cries and grunts.

The Titan turned his head to watch the scene take place, absorbing the spell at the same time."And here they are... he smirked as the rune knight's skin bubbled before his eyes. About 35 meters away he could see about two hundred Knights marching with one man in the front holding a large golden spear and white fitted armor. The large army stopped 30 meters away. "Hm. They brought an entire army in your honor, Witch." he said with a smirk. His head twitched slighty just as his fingers did. The monster in him; the spirit of Fenrir, was eager to devour. Then, the man with the golden spear picked up a device and placed it to his mouth to enhance the volume of his voice.

"Witch of Carnage, on behalf of the Council and the Kingdom of Fiore, you are to be detained. We have orders to bring you in alive or dead. We outnumber you, you will not win, so do not make this harder than it needs to be." The Viking Lord turned so that each of his shoulders faced Yumi and the army. His head turned to Yumi, tucking lips before he turned his attention towards the army. With a shrug, he scratched his head. "I don't know... my money's on the woman." he shouted. "Sir, we advise you to raise your hands, and slowly move towards us. This woman is extremely dangerous." Vali shook his head, waving both of his hands as if he was didn't want to be involved. "Oh no no no, I'm with her, ha."

And just like that this show was finally starting. Vali decided to sit this one out since it was best if he absorbed each spell his acquaintance was using rather than involving himself. At his current strength, he would hardly pose a threat. Plus, it looked like Yumi's spells were just as destructive as she was. He doubted that she'd care if he happened to be caught in the middle. With a smirk he watched the events unfold. His hands remained in his pockets as he took a step back. The Knights were in for a very rude awakening, but Vali was interested to see how the man with white armor and the golden spear would suffice. "Seighart, aye?" Vali thought to himself.

Then, Yumi began rambling on about sacrificing these men to her demon god. If she cared about not provoking the Knights then she wouldn't have said it, but of course, she reeked of confidence. The young Jarl was just happy to have such a being on his side. Despite being a warrior, he often found himself straying from the Viking way and becoming more involved in politics. Fiore wasn't his country and his people were low on everything needed to live substantial lives, so choosing the right Allies and playing it smartly was the wisest thing to do. The Witch of Carnage would do him justice in the future just as he would do for her. Vali shrugged at the man leading the army of Knights.

It was such a beautiful day that even the grunt knights seemed to be not in the mood to deal with this. The Knight Leader raised an eyebrow at Vali when he admitted to being with The Witch. Obviously, he hadn't a clue who Vali was, especially with his hooded jacket, shades, and other normal clothes. Then Suddenly the Titan's eyes shifted towards Yumi. Standing beside her now, he watched as she conjured a large flaming bird before sending it towards the army of men. The spell moved so quick that in no more than a second or two they were all engulfed in her flames. Vali's eyes widened beneath the shades. as every knight and anyone else within range was completely caught in the flames of Yumi's firebird. It was magnificent.

The screams of the Knights filled the air, and in seconds when the flame finally had become nothing all that remained was Rune Knights running around themselves in flames. They were being cooked alive. Down to the white armored Knight."Huh... I was convinced that one was going to put on a show." Vali folded his arms as his eyes shifted towards Yumi. "That's about two hundred Knights. You know that they won't be this easy on you forever, right, Witch?"

Vali was almost in complete awe as Yumi had managed to destroy all of her foes. It was nothing more than a game for the Witch of Carnage. The Viking blinked. He was content with knowing that this woman was an ally. Not only was she wickedly strong, but she was also completely deranged. Wicked. She boasted about her demon god every moment and even prayed to him. The Werewolf watched as their souls were drawn to her, collected for the one she served. Vali was quiet. A slight smirk sat on his face. He didn't fear her, though he had every reason right to. Vali could not wait for the day to come where he could stand against her, and win. For now, he would embrace this moment in history. People would talk about this very event for years remembering and subconsciously honoring the Witch of Carnage and her God. Vali was not yet at her level, he had a long way to god.

These lifeless bodies didn't contain enough souls for her lord. The frustration could be seen her face, but soon withered upon having another idea; Royal souls. She even mentioned her wondering what it was like to kill a king. "Hmhm."The Jarl chuckled with a nod. He understood noble souls would prove more valuable so he did not judge. "In my country, men would face death fearlessly. We await Valhalla and die like true warriors... this country worships a god who embraces cowards, so I imagine they will die in fear." he stated calmly. Even Yumi would not be able to make the Icebergan people die in fear. Vali turned to look at the burnt bodies scattered across the ground. With a sigh, he turned back to Yumi.

"Yumi..." he began. His smirk dropped and revealed a sense of seriousness. "I hope you're ready." he stated, referring to the attack on the Cathedral that they had planned. Vali was ready, but he wasn't exactly up to par in power. In fact, he was sure that this would probably cause his warrior's lives, but it was the price he had to pay for the greater good. His men would die happy serving their Jarl. For he was the one favored by all of the gods. If it all came down to it, he would have his Nekomata team set up so that he could easily escape. Vali was indeed ready.

With nothing more to be said, Vali would turn to leave. He didn't have the strength to face any enemies should they approach now.
