Spinel and the Snow [Vetur]

Outside of the forest for the first time in a bit, Vetur sat atop of his local noodle shop that he helped at occasionally. When I say sat, I mean he was laying down like a bum. His feet were propped up with his toes clinging to the metal mesh that acted as a fence. His right arm had come over his face to shield his eyes from the light of the sky somewhat. He’d recovered from the incident with his former love, so he was rather bored. There wasn’t much to do. He hadn’t seen any of the demons as of late, and no one had really came through that was ‘different’ to him. Though little did he know that it was about to change for the better, or at least for him. A shadow, or rather a figure moved across the sky through the small sliver he left himself to see the moon with. The way they moved was too similar to the graceful movement that his former love had been able to move. It was one of them. His temper flared. Without waiting, he moved from his seat, pulling himself up with his toes against the metal netting of the fence. His body straightened out, and his knees bent before firing himself off in the direction of the darkened figure, ignorant of the figure going from the shadows after the boy who was minding his own.

Below from the shadows, the figure that’d gone to latch onto the boy was large. A reptilian like beast, gecko in form. Vetur would honestly ask it if they offered insurance if the situation was different. The beast’s wouldn’t get a change to enjoy it’s meal before it felt a weight sitting atop of it’s head.

Vetur had witnessed the ‘demon’ grip the boy, and drag him down. His curiosity of who the guy was was vetoed when they were grabbed. Vetur wasn’t going to stand and wait. Moving quickly to the roof near it’s head, he did a gentle leap and landed atop of the beast’s head. There wasn’t much to his expression other than something similar to a goofy grin that one rubbery protagonist would give. There was however an expression change when he blinked. His head tilted back some, and to the right as he looked down. ”Release the boy demon~ A higher power demands it” Vetur said, his voice cold and sharp. His reiatsu began to hover over his body, a silvery film covered his body and little specks of black appeared and fell down, almost resembling an inverted snowy night with the silver being the sky and the black being the snowflakes. Almost like a whisper, Vetur wasn’t interested in giving the demon a chance to respond to anything.

As the king demands The words slipped from his lips as the world seemed to turn on it’s side. Where as a warm breeze had earlier blew through the air on the summer night, ice soon covered the ground. Reaching from where he was standing on the demon’s masked head ice spread out from the spot, reaching fifty meters away. Everything seemingly flash frozen in that instant. To alert that there had been a release, the warm wind had been replaced with a chilling feeling in the air. A ghostly blue crown soon hovered above Vetur’s head. His eyes now frigged and ready to place. The ice that had appeared on the beasts head served as the conduit for Vetur to move. “Welcome to my domain.” He muttered lowly before ‘melting’ into the ice and reappearing on a near by roof.

The hollow was less than pleased about what had just happened. The boy he’d gripped before now seemed less appealing as this creature had just appeared. He swung the boy some before turning to go after Vetur. It was now a hunt afoot. ”New prey new prey!” The Hollow roared out as it began to climb up the side of the building.

When one first saw this situation, they might believe that Vetur was without fear. In fact, his stony expression would’ve made it nearly impossible for someone to believe anything else. This in this situation, it was true. He wasn’t afraid. Concerned about the state of the kingdom, Karakura. That was the only thing on his mind. His cold eyes watched the beast as his hands sat within the pockets of his blue hoodie. His head was lightly cocked.

He wasn’t at all ignorant of the fact that the man had just been tossed, but he wasn’t bothered by him. That man, he must be an outsider to the town. He grinned as he witnessed the beast tumble and fall. The man seemed atleast a little helpful. The technique he used moved rather fast, faster than what he was used too. “Seems you can follow commands Demon~, and young man many thanks for that! Let me give each of you you a gift, and welcome you to my Kingdom of Ice and Snow.” He said aloud with a fresh smile across his face. While before the surrounding area had been covered in a layer of ice, this time it was totally different. His reiatsu flared, and bathed the area in a chilling force.

Everything, organic and non-organic flash froze aside from the hollow and the man. The surrounding 100 meters would’ve froze. This wasn’t the end of the hellish ability he just released as snow began to fall from the sky. Around him, a metaphorical castle formed. A full circle surrounding him that reached out thirty meters. All of that stepped in it, being and ability would’ve been subjected to a speed penalty, dropping them to half their speed. Snow began to fall from the sky, and the night began to seem like a frozen hell, and a perfect play ground for Vetur.

There was the moment as he stood there and waited for a second before hefting his left hand from his pocket, and holding it in the air above the beast, and within his “castle”. ”King’s command” His reiatsu flared once more. His fingers acted as if they were squeezing before a chunk of ice formed in the air, and suddenly dropped. Aiming for the beasts head, a 20x20x20 foot chunk of ice would’ve dropped upon it’s body.

He waited from there, curious of the beast’s fate. Though his attention was somewhat distracted. He was curious of the boy.

Non-spiritual? The words echoed through his head as they were spoken. His eyes grazed over to the guy, and then back down to the demon. Maybe something was not as he thought it was. The beast however had recovered himself, and fired once more. This was not okay to Vetur. ”Lets finish this beast, and speak in a moment.” He said. There was a change to his methodology. He froze as ironic as that is. He scowled.

He took a deep breathe before his reiatsu flared. This wasn’t as it was earlier. There wasn’t part of his initial power. Around the beast, three wolves formed of ice and snow. They were constructed from the surrounding materials by him pulling on the souls. A mouth of teeth opened, and snarled. “Fenir’s Kin” Slipped from his lips as the wolves moved, their teeth sinking into the beast’s legs, disabling it.

He wasn’t done at this. ”Freeze, this is the King’s command” Once again his reitasu flared and his fingers came to close in the direction of the beast. Where as before he had dropped ice on it, this time it was different. There was a different intent. The frosty air around the beast began to thicken, and soon stilled as what would be the upper part of the body was sealed in a block of ice. This block was well within his 30m range of the castle, and thus made it a 20ft cubed chunk of ice, leaving it’s arms.

There was something that registered on Vetur’s face. This wasn’t something he had the firepower to kill currently. The little one’s he’d dealt with were a tad smaller, and dumber. ”Swordbearer. Take your sword, and vanquish this beast. I regret I lack the ability to at this moment. We can talk after this.” There was something in his voice. An annoyed tone. He was curious of what this all really was.

He watched passively with little thought as the man segregated the body of the beast. The body disappeared so quickly, it was funny. His head had tilted, noting the difference in how much different it him killing the demons and this man doing it. His weapon seemed to have been made for the killing of the beasts. There was no extra energy expended using it. He wanted one. He needed one. ”You want it. He heard in the back of his head. The voice twisted, and distorted. A king’s greed.

The words finally registered in his head after a few moment from the man. His eyes closed for a moment as the ice around them began to fade. The ice chipped away, and ceased to exist. However there was an obvious thing to note, the true marking of his fullbring hadn’t changed. The frown was there on his lips. There was still the chilling aura around his body as the ethereal crown still hovered. His eyes opened with a cold expression. His hands slipped back up into the pocket of his hoodie. ”First of all, don’t tell me what to do. Secondly, what are you and what exactly are these demons.” And there it was. With the last part of that sentence there was a shift in his entire mannerism. He would’ve jumped down to the man, putting no less than 20 meters between him and the man with his back to the exit of the alley with him facing the man. His Reiatsu would’ve soon flared, taking it to create a suppressing force in the direct area around him. He was curious about the information this man could give him.

The man threw a few things out that caused him to pause for a moment. ”Shinigami and Hollow?”

”She..she called me a Hollow before trying to kill me. Am I killing my own kind?[/color] Passed through his mind. His heart sunk at the thought. Would he become like them? Was she right? Was he a threat to the populous? There was a shift in the air once more as his emotional distress caused him to slip Ice began to cover his body slowly. His fullbring seeming to start a process to turn him into a living popsicle. He head went up into the air, staring into the sky.

”No” He whispered out in a frightened voice.

”Yes”[/i] Slipped from his lips soon after. This voice wasn’t frightened. It sounded fractured, and deeper than his previous tone. Something mentally slipped. A cog fell from it’s place. He let out a bit of a laugh as he gazed down at the boy. He had no reason to let the man who supposedly had three hundred years on him speak to him anymore. I’m not sorry for this. You brought it upon yourself.[/color] He spoke aloud as he cocked a twisted grin across his face.

”You have two choices. You can give me your sword, and I’ll leave you here alive. You can return to where you came from, or I can do to you what you’ve already seen me do once more. He said as his right hand rose, and his fingers twirled. The wolves conjured would’ve instantly reformed, and stand behind the snowman.

Vetur has no words for the man. Senta’s own words fell on deaf ears. He moved forward, taking the sword from the man’s hand, and the respective sheathe from his side. He slipped it closed with a barely audible tink as it came together. He looked back with his frosty eyes for a moment as the pressure continued to hold in the area. His free hand came down, and pointed back at the man. ”I have to make sure you don’t do anything fishy after I leave. King’s Command” He said with a monotone voice, one quite different from the one he’d used just moments earlier. Pulling on the soul of the air around the man, frost would’ve begun setting in before a solid block of ice would’ve formed around the man, leaving what would’ve just been his head exposed.

The wolves that sat on each side of him watched him carefully, release a howl like sound before all they faded into ice crystals. The crown stayed situated on his head before he crouched then jumped back atop of the building that was on one side of the alley before taking off across the area. He was going to see what he could do to prevent becoming like that.
