Aria of the Soul [Animositas]

[Lagunamov]

Your orders are ineffectual.

The armor nodded in acknowledgement of the orders to keep someone alive, making it clear it had understood that order. The crushed lady at its feet, of course, indicated that order had been utterly ignored. "I do not like unexpected experiments. Consider that payment," it explained as the facade of the girl once again came into view, hiding the weapons and bloodstains of the armor. Moving away from the bodies, the girl sighed as she looked up into the sky.

"Your flair for the theatrics never changes. Either way, I will trust you to lead the way. I don't have a preference for any world over the others, so long as I can be kept occupied," she stretched her arms over her head, looking almost impatient to leave that backwater world.

Do you enjoy Chinese food?

"I can hardly fault you, my dear armor. You were magnificent, after all. And I will make certain to inform you well in advance of any new ideas that might occur to me."

Ethan took a moment to survey the bodies. They were not ready. Not yet. Soon.

Turning back to Animositas, he smiled. "Would you deny me the theatrics? They provide an extra dimension of fun to it all, do they not?"

Their next destination required some consideration. Ethan could tell the armor wanted to move on, and now, so did he. Sophia had known correctly. He had missed the sight and smell of blood, the feeling of ripping people's lives away from them.

"Have you ever had occasion to visit a world called Land of Dragons? I hear it is quite breathtaking. There is an entire city of people there." He let that hang enticingly in the air.

[Lagunamov]

I will enjoy shoving it up yours if you cross any sort of line, that much I can tell you.

The Sentiment pretended to ponder for a couple of seconds over the suggestion. The name of the world certainly didn't ring a bell, so it could be interesting to see what kind of society lived there. The amount of people was a secondary thought to it. Ethan was probably hoping he could send the armor on a rampage through the world, but while Animositas was chaotic, it was not a creature that looked for needless chaos and slaughter.

"Just lead the way," the girl's voice came out just as bored as her appearance could lead anyone to believe she was. This world was a pretty dull one, particularly now after what little entertainment they had was exhausted.

[Aerith]

Onward to bigger and better things!
--------

Ethan did not need to be a genius to detect the boredom in the armor's voice. And he would lead the way just as soon as he took care of some quick business. The newest corpses in the clearing gave up their souls quite easily, and it was only a matter of minutes before they, too, were enslaved to the base instincts of the darkness. Fittingly, Ethan sent them to hang in the tapestry next to their former little boy.

"To the Land of Dragons, it is. If you would be so kind as to take us there..."
