[i]Olivia silently stared at Bjorn, before a deep, shaky sigh escaped the depths of her helmet. Her body began to straighten out as her left hand released the shaft of her spear, balancing the very end of the weapon upon the ground as she shook her head in an almost disappointed manner.[/i]
"...There's truly nothing that will convince you, then.
Fine. Fine...I won't stop you. I won't attempt to cease your endless rage, at least until you start to harm those that are innocent. If you truly wish to defeat - no, slay Balthazar for what he has done...then it is his fight. Not mine, no matter what I believe.
All I can do now is wish you luck upon your travels. I doubt that you would require my assistance, but..."
[i]Olivia went silent. She didn't know what to say afterwards.[/i]
"...You know who to call upon." [i]The young woman turned around and stared down at the trunk of the cherry blossom tree, her body loosening, yet still tense as if she expected something from the warrior that she had spared.[/i]

[u]Relaxing his guard slightly, Bjorn's shield dissipates before sinking into his gauntlet. His helmet seals around his head with a hiss, it attempting to stop the explosion of energy creating the massive storm. Looking upwards, he flips his massive blade around in his hand by the grip, almost as if he expects something to happen. The storm shows no sign of stopping as rain starts to pour down, lightning illuminating the young giant's figure. A massive bolt suddenly strikes the figure, blinding even Olivia as she turned away. As the blast fades, a large crater is in place of where Bjorn once stood. At the center, Bjorn stands unwavering in stature. His armor pulses with the energy created by the storm, the clouds starting to clear up. The downpour becomes a sprinkle before ceasing to exist. Sheathing his sword, Bjorn walks towards Olivia. Standing behind her, his voice rings out in a harsh metallic tone, distorted by his helmet.[/u] "[i]I have my reasons. My life has no meaning other than this pursuit. I have spent so many years searching for my father, and it's gotten to the point where I sometimes wish I won't find him so I wouldn't lose my reason to continue on. I sometimes wonder what I would do if I found him. Would I kill him out of anger, or would I take the path of redemption and try to find forgiveness? This much is unknown. The only definite thing I know is that I must find him before my power overwhelms me. I have no control over it, and if not for my armor... there's no telling what would happen.[/i]"
