-63 [action (locked to Kratos)]

[Approximately one day ago, two of Luceti's resident Seraphim embarked on a journey to the old desert fort, just outside the tunnel's exit. Of course, why use the tunnel itself when they can fly? They were very discreet about the matter and made sure to be far outside the village before actually taking flight, but now that it's more than a day later, they've passed over the mountain range and entered the desert area.

Now, to find that damned fort in this enormous sandbox. It couldn't be too far away, right? Let's hope not. They'll have to stop for a break soon and that would be more infinitely more comfortable in the shade.]

[CURSE YOU KRATOS. HOW MANY TIMES MUST YOU GET IN MY WAY?!

Yuan's going to try and shield his eyes with a hand, hoping to keep up his speed. The fort is closing in fast, but will he make it or will Kratos pass him by?]

[Even with Kratos' efforts, it looks like Yuan is just a hair ahead...!

But Kratos doesn't slow down until he hits the fort! Rather, until he flies downward, lands right beside it and places his hand on it. How about you, Yuan? Kratos vaguely thinks it'd be funny if Yuan was so busy shielding his eyes that he'd crash into the fort.]

[Actually, the eye shielding does leave Yuan a bit distracted. He doesn't crash face-first into the fort, though. Instead, there's a bit of stumbling and generic failure when he touches down. He tries to protect his face by making a sharp turn, making sure he crashes sideways into the harsh stone instead. Ow. Elbow. Pain. ... But he totally made it there first, right? Right?]

[That was just as good. Kratos turns his head away to hide that half smirk forcing its way up. You haven't changed, Yuan. You're still a failure.

...And since we're so indecisive let's call it a tie. Or Yuan made it just a millisecond before Kratos and thus Kratos will call it a tie.]

Heh.

[You cheater. But fine, we'll call it a tie if Kratos doesn't say a word about the fail landing. That's a good deal.]

It's been a while since I got to let loose like that.

[He won't say it to anyone else, at least. Kratos allows his wings to disappear as he makes his way to the entrance of the fort.]

Years, as I recall.

This world has far too many restrictions.

[Yuan's already running a hand past the wall as he follows Kratos to the entrance. He has to assess just how worn down this place is, after all.]

[Kratos... doesn't seem to be bothering with that. He just looks around, taking everything in.]

Our world had too many restrictions, for a time.

[Too busy getting lost in nostalgia to help out, you useless lug? Well, that's fine. It's more of a one man's job. Looks like the outer walls are relatively intact.]

Yet one still had the freedom to change things for the better, as long as you followed ridiculous ideals. Even that seems impossible here.

[He'd say Yuan can handle it himself. But yes, that's the main reason here.]

For now, at least. Things in our world seemed hopeless for many long years until Lloyd came into our lives.

[He's not going to respond to that, because he's learned not to push things when it comes down to Lloyd, but... Speak for yourself, Kratos. Yuan was already working to save the world long before Lloyd was even conceived.

Oh, look, the fort's entrance. Let's just go inside.]

[But hey, those plans of yours wouldn't have been completed or move beyond "KILL THE CHOSEN" if it weren't for Lloyd, right?

Kratos heads inside, though he stops at the doorway. How's it look in there?]

[... It was a 'work in progress' sort of thing.

It looks pretty good, actually. A couple of cracks in the walls, but other than that, it's salvagable.]

Hm... I think we can work with this.
