Lucelia chuckled at the woman’s shock and words. She was proving to be very entertaining indeed. She kept smiling as she watched the woman pretend to be confident as she spoke. Oh, was this fear or plotting, she was hiding with this act? The answer to that question would be interesting to see unfolded. Anyway, Lucelia remained non-hostile as she answered the woman.
“He’s my brother and yes. I wanted you to focus on me, so the battle could be fair. It’s no fun to have two against one, you know,” she said as she leaned forward and shook her head as if she was telling a child what not to do. Then straightening up, she folded her arms as she looked up at the sky as if she was thinking for a bit.
“Why do this?” she repeated. “Oh, that is quite simple. Light and Dark…so vicious they are to possess things. We seek to create a balance between the two. No more fighting in other words. So, when we find a place that needs to be cured of Light or Dark, we come to aid it. Sometimes our job is easy and at other times we have to deal with people like you,” she said as she looked back at Stella her tones remaining calm; however, there was a fire in Lucelia’s eyes that warned the blonde that she was willing to fight for what she believed if necessary. After a moment, Lucelia looked away and walked slowly to the left a bit as she spoke.
“Now then. We can go about this the hard way or the easy way. We don’t have to fight, you know. We can simply talk. Maybe find a way to see eye-to-eye?” she asked and then looked over to the fight with the other woman. Stil,l seemed that Luca was doing well on his own, so she refocused on the blonde before her. “What do you say? Shall we chat instead?” she asked and then waited to see how the warrior would react. Would it be violence or peace talks that would color this side of the battle?
Meanwhile, Luca was finding that his opponent was becoming more interesting by the moment. She was sturdy enough, easily taking his shove and regaining her balance in time to block his swing. As his blade was deflected by the shield, Luca stepped back to keep his balance as the scent of blood filled the air. It was not a strong scent, but it was just enough to let him know that he had managed to hit her with his attack. Not a bad wound…just a small cut. Very good. This warrior would not disappoint.
Luca took a defensive stance as he saw the woman smirk. His only reaction to the expression was a slight tilting of the head and then he watched as she summoned what appeared to be some sort of jewel from her chest before throwing it into the air and slicing it. Luca narrowed his eyes as he watched a giant warrior appeared on the field next to the one who had called him. A summoner, huh? Intere— Huh?!
The thought was cut short as Luca saw the speed at which the summon moved when its master command it to do so. The movement was unexpected, so it caught the vampire off guard allowing the summon to hit him. The blow sent him rolling across the rather solid ground before coming to a stop some distance away. Grunting, Luca pulled himself up as slight pain hit him. The blow was powerful enough to rattle bones, but thankfully not strong enough to pierce his armor like skin. He’d have to watch the big guy in the future. As he was recovering, he saw the woman coming down on him with appeared to be an electrical strike.
“Tch,” was all he said and then quickly sheathed his sword, stepping slightly to the side to avoid the electrified blade. Safe from the strike, Luca let the woman fall upon him going down with her weight. Falling to his back, he grab the woman’s shield arm and then used her momentum to toss her over and away from him. Whether she landed on her feet or not was of no concerned to Luca as he remained knelt down and pointed a finger at the woman. He sent a wave of twenty red and blue butterflies towards her. The swarm flapped around the woman becoming blinding if they were successful. Using his speed, he dashed behind the woman and unsheathed his sword aiming to stab her in the back. While he focused on the woman, he kept his senses alert for anything the summon might do.

Blue and Red Butterflies: It is exactly what it says. A flock of blue and red butterflies are unleashed at an enemy causing temporary blindness as the butterflies do their best to distract the target. There are a total of 20 in a flock that are very easy to kill. They are the smallest of the summons and used for to distract more so than harm. They hover around a person for 1 post before leaving. It takes 3 posts to reuse this.

Stella stayed calm as the woman in front of her started to talk. So she was right. She was trying to keep her busy while her brother fought the chosen warrior of Etro. So far, so good. Stella kept her rapier in her hand, holding it in a defence stance, trying to figure out what her next movement would be. She needed to analyse everything properly if she wanted to aid her partner.
“Oh, that is quite simple. Light and Dark…so vicious they are to possess things. We seek to create a balance between the two. No more fighting in other words. So, when we find a place that needs to be cured of Light or Dark, we come to aid it. Sometimes our job is easy and at other times we have to deal with people like you.”
A balance… Stella raised one eyebrow while the girl talk. She did have a point in the whole neutrality thing, she would give her that. But the way the two were planning on maintaining that very same balance didn’t exactly seem the correct one. But what did she knew about it? The princess of Tenebrae gazed away, remembering the night where she fought Noctis. She didn’t want to fight him. Stella cared for him. But it was her duty. Her duty to her family and her Kingdom. There was no other option back then. And maybe, for the twins, there was no other option to maintain the Neutral balance.
Her opponent stepped away, suggesting that they should fight with arguments instead of blades or magic. Stella turned away to see how her partner was doing. So far she seemed alright, with a huge mechanic warrior next to her. “So she can also summon…”[/i] Stella thought to herself. She could sense the power of Etro emanating from the armoured woman and she wondered how she did obtain such peculiar and powerful energy. But now, Stella should focus on her opponent. The fact that she didn’t want to fight could be one of two things: either she was really interested in a debate or she was trying to pressure Stella into making the first move. Either way, Stella needed more time to come up with a plan to aid the warrior. And with such idea in her mind, she kept her eyes locked in her opponent. “I know from personal experience of what’s like not having any other option left. You and your brother are fighting us because you believe that fighting resolves everything.” Stella paused for a second “Or at least your brother believes so. I don’t deny that your intentions are correct, but they are correct in your own eyes. If you stop us from reclaiming this world, it would be invaded once again by another force. Dark or Light, it doesn’t matter. There’s no way you two can come with a way were the neutrality wins. There’s no Light without Shadows. The fight of good against evil is…” Stella tried to figure a good way to put it “…is as eternal as time itself. I know that you too seek peace in your own way, that you think that there’s no other option, but what will that bring to you? By fighting against either good or bad, you end up doing the same thing you are fighting to avoid. You are contributing to the continuation of this war.”And hopefully, Stella made some sense. Hopefully, she could have enough time to figure out what her next move would be.[/size]

As her strike was thrust forward, the small boy and quickly sidestepped her attack, growling to herself for not being quick enough. Curse this kid. He was starting to test her patience. Something she already didn't have much of. And it was slowly beginning to wear thin.
Icy eyes glanced quickly to the other two combatants on the field, though, their battle seemed to only be with words at the moment. A battle of wits rather than with blades. So be it.
As the warrior turned to return to her own challenger, only to be greeted with a face full of.. butterflies?! "What the-?!" Lightning exclaimed, as the insects began to swarm around her. With her shielded arm, she attempted to bat the tiny winged nuisances away, not having much luck. And in the midst of her distraction, she hadn't noticed the blade aiming straight for her. With Luca growing closer and her blindly stumbling about, she was like a sitting duck. As she managed to swat away the remaining bugs, the blade's tip was just shy of her torso.
Odin's arm had stopped the blade from hitting its intended target, and rather used himself as a shield, the blade now wedge in one of his arms. "Odin!" She shouted as she quickly raised her leg, planting it on Luca's body and giving him a quick shove away. With a quick nod to her eidolon, Odin suddenly transformed, going from a large built warrior to a mechanical steed, as his weapon was left, Lightning took hold of it, separating the long blade into two. She quickly hopped aboard her summon, ready to bring on the heat.
As she mounted, Odin jumped a distance back, as Lightning combined the weapon temporarily back into one, drawing her arm back over her shoulder before swinging it horizontally, a large gale of strong winds and razor-like rose petals lashing out at Luca.
He wasn't playing around.. but neither as she.

There was a brief silence as the blonde look back at the battle before focusing once more on Lucelia. As she spoke, Lucelia listened. The words were familiar. A philosophy she heard from many that refused to believe that Light and Dark could be combined into one great balance, but there were a few points to be cleared up.
“We do not believe violence is the solution to everything. No, if things were our way, there would be no reason to draw blades against each other. The world would be so peaceful,” she said with a smile and then clasped her hands behind her back again. “You are right in some ways. There is really no right or wrong way to go about this silly war. No matter what you fight for you have to fight to protect what you believe in; however, what you Light and Dark folks don’t get is this. We aren’t trying to destroy either side. We just want them to exist in perfect harmony. For like you say, one cannot exist without the other. Which makes your situation hold quite a bit of irony, no? You say one cannot exist without the other and yet you’re here to wipe the world clean of the dark and fill this world with pure light. It seems your goals would be just as at odds as our own. The only difference is that we know what happens when Light or Dark takes over. The other always gets jealous and fights back, but to balance them you gain true peace. How do we know this? Well, we’ve done it before, so we know how successful our path is. We can end war with it,” Lucelia said keeping her eye the girl. She could tell she was plotting something, but what it was the woman did not know or bother to figure out. As long as the woman did not attack, she would have nothing to fear from Lucelia. Still, she left it up to the blonde to turn this violent or not.
Meanwhile, Luca’s butterflies had done their job well enough thanks to her error at being distracted. The small and weak creatures blinded the lady long enough for him to get close to hitting her; however, success was easily ruined by the big guy she had summoned earlier. As his blade went into creature’s arm, Luca frowned slightly at the near hit as the woman called the creature's name out. So close. In any case, he let himself be pushed back by the kick using the shove to pull his sword out of the warrior. As he watched the woman nod to the giant, he saw it transform from a man into a horse. So it would seem this summon was able to shapeshift as well. Impressive.
As the woman grabbed the creature’s weapon and split into two, she mounted the large horse before bringing her weapon together once more. As she spun the weapon and unleashed a large powerful gale of strong winds and razor sharp petals, Luca tried to defend with his sword, but the winds and rose petals were too much. Struggling to keep his ground as the petals sliced against his clothing and skin, he gritted his teeth as he waited out the wind storm. When it was over Luca lowered his sword revealing that the attack had managed to draw blood from small cuts all over his body. The most noticeable was the one on his cheeck. As the red liquid crept down his pale face, he glared at the pair coldly debating his options. Hmmm…maybe he could even the field a bit.
Taking a step back, he flipped his sword around so that it was held vertically before him as he closed his eyes for a moment and concentrated. Then reopening them, he spoke a single word.
“Shadow Fang.”
The word was spoken softly, but seemed to echo around the area. There was a second of silence and then a strange screech filled the area. A few minutes later, a large bird iin the sky and swooped low over the field taking in the what was going on. The bird ignored, Lucelia and Stella for there was no threat coming from over there; however, the horse like summon and its rider were another matter. Without warning or command, the bird circled the area before it flew a bit higher into the sky and then turning gracefully, it gliding downwards towards the woman and her summon. When it was close, it began flapping its wings to slow itself down enough to lash out at the rider and horse with its claws. Between the grabbing claws and the powerful winds caused from the large bird, if the woman and horse was not knocked over, there was a high chance that the pair would be hit by the sharp claws. Regardless of what happened, Luca stayed where he was watching for the moment to see how the warrior could handle the new threat. _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Stella heard the woman talk. Part of her could relate to what she was saying. A 3rd party would end with Light and Darkness. No more innocent people dying over this eternal conflict. No more suffering or pain. No more crying. Stella couldn’t say it out loud, but she enjoyed the idea of a world where constant fights didn’t happen. Where there was only… peace. “So you want to create an Utopia by suppressing both Light and Dark?” Her blue eyes were focused on the girl in front of her. Her hand holding the rapier more firmly then before. “By vanquishing both Light and Darkness to create a perfect world. But you actions are still the same as the ones you are trying to defeat. Until you create your perfect world, you will be fighting like us or them.” She turned her face to look at the battle between the boy and the Etro’s Warrior. “Your no different then Light or Dark. Your intentions might be good and I can relate to a world like that, but…”
The Princess of Tenebrae faced her opponent once more. There was a resolve burning inside her. She remembered the dark creatures attacking her home. Stella did not know if her family was alive or not. They were dragged to this conflict without an option. They were pawns in such war. Even if she wanted that Utopia, she also wanted revenge from what happened. “My family. My home. Both got attacked by Darkness. You expect that I won’t do anything? Even if your plan makes some sort of sense, do you honestly think it will work? The places that were destroyed by Darkness. People will want to avenge their loved ones. Like I do! They attacked my home out of the blue and you expect me to just… forget about it?”
A lonely tear rolled down the Fleuret’s heir face. She felt pain. She felt lonely. She wanted her family back. Stella wanted to go home so bad… “And about the Darkness?!” She wasn’t talking anymore. Stella was screaming at her debate opponent “They won’t EVER rest. And as such, neither will I. I want to get revenge for my Kingdom. For my family!” The yellow crest materialized again behind Stella, as she tried to control her emotions. The rage was building inside of her like a volcano ready to explode. “I WON’T FORGIVE THEM!”
