[ Koltira's somewhere near the Edrathe Ruins, standing beside a smoldering fire. His runeblade glistens with fresh blood, its runes pulsing as they slowly drink. Shadows obscure the corpses around the fire, though they seem to be monsters or other wildlife for the most part--deer, wolves, bears, and a few of the more exotic species, too. There's the occasional sound of bones cracking, flesh tearing, like something nearby is eating.

Koltira stares forward, his expression inscrutable, his cheeks smeared dark red. It's been a long night, but he's not satisfied. He's never satisfied. ]

The beasts of this realm do not sate me. They die too quickly.

[ He brandishes the gore-caked sword, raising it in challenge. ]

And the fighting dens are too restrictive.

[ His head throbs. His sense of self--never strong in the first place--feels like a loose floorboard. He's been stumbling through the past few weeks. The past few months, even. Ever since the riots. He scowls, baring vampiric teeth. ]

It's not enough. I need a true battle. One without limits, fought against the living. Fought against someone who can scream.

[ Unholy magic, sickly green in color, swirls around his body, limns his tall frame. ]

I stay in the ruins. If you can offer me a real fight, then come find me.

[ His grip tightens on Byfrost's hilt. He lowers the runeblade as his long ears flick back against either side of his head. His guttural voice cracks slightly. ]

Please.

[And because he's nosy, he looked around at the other comments, and. welp.]

so wait, if you don't occasionally strangle people a little from time to time you snap and go on an unstoppable strangling rampage?

damn, that's a mess

[He's not nearly selfless enough to offer, though. There's a few of that type around here who probably will, he thinks. He's pretty sure if Akane was awake, she'd be one of them. He's glad, for once, that she isn't.]

maybe the natha could do something
they're basically gods, right?

[ His ears twitch. He supposes that's one way to put it. ]

I would not call them such. Not that it would matter, even if I did. Gods are not all-powerful.

[hedonistic]

???
i thought that was kind of the definition of gods

[But hell, the only gods he knows about are either fictional or from religion, which might as well be fiction as far as Kagari's ever been concerned.]

anyway even if they can't fix your problem maybe they can make you stuff to fight
i mean, i already know they can somehow make something out of practically nothing

[He was supposed to have been vaporized, after all. But instead, he woke up on Thesa with a fully intact body.]

I wear the hardened blood of an old god on my body. All that lives can be ended, and a 'god' is merely an entity beyond simple understanding. But not infallible.

[ Not in his experience. ]

In any case, there is nothing to be done. If you cannot fight, stop wasting my time.

[hedonistic]

not if you don't wanna hold back, no
you pinned me down in like a second last time

[Granted, he wasn't exactly expecting to be lunged at, but it wouldn't make much difference either way when Koltira's got magic ice chains.]

anyway, suit yourself, dude
just figured it couldn't hurt to ask
