The First Encounter

Keyara sighed as she walked through Alcamoth, once again bearing the disgusted eyes of the citizen's. She could help the fact that she was Hom's, she couldn't change who she was, and they couldn't either. She was often tempted to tell them she could transform them into Telethia, and since she could control ether, she could, but never did and controlled ether whenever she felt angry. It would do no good to attack the citizen's. She suddenly tripped, and growled as she sat up, rubbing her knee's, before she heard laughing, and gave a mental groan.

'Again, more torture.' Keyara thought sadly, and turned her head, before seeing a High Entia she often heard called...M'hea...she believed?

"Hey, look the disgusting Homs tripped." M'hea stated, her voice quite snobbish as she looked at Keyara with malice, a wicked smile on her face.

Keyara only ignored her and stood, ready to continue up the steps to the palace, but she was yanked back, thrown to the ground, and growled as she sat up, glaring at M'hea.

"What's your problem?!" Keyara shouted, but M'hea scoffed at her.

"My problem? You should be asking yourself why you're here, you filthy hom's!" M'hea stated, two of her friends on either side of her.

"Just because you're the Divine Seer's Guardian doesn't mean your respected, or allowed here you filth!" M'hea shouted, pointing a finger at her.

Keyara took a deep breath to calm herself, she had to keep her anger in check, lest she release an ether blast and seriously hurt the High Entia.

"Listen, I know I'm not liked or respected here, but I do know I am allowed here." Keyara said, and stood, backing up a bit.

"So if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving." Keyara stated, but M'hea scoffed.

"That's right, walk away like the filthy hom's you are. Back to your filthy homs friend, the Seer." M'hea stated, and that snapped Keyara.

Red ether gathered around Keyara, showing her anger, before her gloves glowed, and she shot an ether blast at M'hea, who barely dodged it.

"Take that back! Alvis is not a filthy hom's!" Keyara shouted, anger obvious within her purple eyes.

She could take someone degrading her, someone mocking and hurting her, but once they hurt Alvis, or one of her friend's, she'd snap within an instant. M'hea seemed shocked, before amusement flashed in her eyes, and she began laughing with her two friends.

"He's not?! Ha, try again filth. He's a hom's, and therefore he is filth within the pure city of Alcamoth!" M'hea stated, keeping a hand on her staff, she was hoping Keyara would attack.

Keyara tried to calm herself, but the red ether stayed, showing she was mad, even as she took steps back. She really didn't want to hurt anyone, even a High Entia. M'hea wasn't pleased, and sighed.

"I guess your a scaredy cat as well. Won't even retaliate, like that...what was her name? Zaira? She's pathetic as well, and so are you. Both of you would be better leaving, especially that freak, Za-!" M'hea was cut short as a sting meet her cheek, only to see that Keyara had slapped her.

Enraged by the fact that a Homs touched her, yet amused that Keyara had struck, made M'hea give a wicked grin.

"Don't talk about my friends like that, or I'll make you!" Keyara shouted, and M'hea kicked her back.

"Bring it on you filthy hom's! You seriously think you can hurt me!?" M'hea shouted like Keyara was crazy.

The ether gathered around her turned dark red, a murderous intent entering Keyaras' mind as her sword glowed with red ether, and she struck at M'hea, who used her staff to block the attack. Suddenly ether attacks were thrown left and right, ether attacks hitting the walls, and one destroyed and Anti-Mechon ship, but the two didn't stop, even as their clothes began to rip, and tears, even as they began bleeding. Keyaras' red vest was thrown to the side as her gloves began to glow brighter, absorbing any ether it could around the area. M'hea was shocked a little, Keyara didn't seem to be lossing much stamina, and she growled...what was keeping this girl moving? Looking at the gloves, she thought maybe they were keeping her moving. Grabbing Keyaras' wrist, she spun Keyara unto her back, before grabbing the glove and pulling it off, and Keyaras' eyes widened in horror. Suddenly Keyaras' eyes turned red, and she placed her hand against M'hea face, keeping the High Entia trapped as ether began to pour into her arm. Keyaras' mind was completely gone, overrun by ether in anger, the reason her eyes were red. M'hea dropped the glove to try and remove Keyaras' arm. Her bare palm began to glow as ether gathered more, when suddenly a voice shouted.

"ENOUGH!" A rough voice shouted, and Keyara gasped, her arm going sideways, shooting an Ether Blast that would've killed M'hea off to the side, blowing a hole into the glass surrounding Alcamoth.

M'hea growled, and pulled her arm back to strike Keyara, but she felt someone grab her wrist. Gasping in surprise, she was pushed away from Keyara, and fell on her butt, before looking up and seeing a High Entia who looked Middle aged, with long white wings that were a little torn, wearing rather regal armor. Melia and Alvis came running out of the palace, and both dropped to their knee's beside Keyara, both worried.

"Keyara, are you alright?" Melia asked, but Keyara ignored her.

"G-Galven..." Keyara stated, the red slowly leaving her eyes.

"Keyara..." Alvis stated concerned, before glaring at M'hea.

"I said, enough." Galven stated, and M'hea growled, glaring at Keyara.

A few guards came over, and Galven sighed, looking between Keyara, and M'hea before rubbing his neck.

"You two take this girl to get medical attention. Charge's will not be pressed as this was interfered, but I expect you two to not do this again." Galven stated sternly.

"What?! But's she a Hom's, she struck me first!" M'hea argued, and Galven glared at her.

"Yes, but you antagonized her to the point of attacking. You should be grateful charge's aren't being pressed, and that your medical bills are being paid for." Galven stated, and M'hea groaned, but left with the two guards and her friends that had stayed to watch the fight.

Galven sighed in relief, before looking at Keyara sternly, who lowered her head in shame. Melia and Alvis sighed in worry, she wasn't responding.

"Keyara, you should know better." Galven stated, kneeling down to her.

"Remember, the the ether is able to overtake one's mind should they be unable to control their emotion's." Galven said and lifted her face to him, seeing the red leave the purple fully.

"Which looks like that happened. Keyara, you need to control yourself better." Galven stated sternly, and she gave a weak nod, the blood lose and wounds starting to affect her.

"I'll...I'll try...b-better." Keyara stated, pale.

"Let's get Keyara some medical attention, and fast." Melia stated, and used Healing Gift to try and help Keyara, even as the gloves went black trying to heal her.

Keyara gave a sad sigh, knowing that this wasn't the last time she would encounter M'hea, even as her eyes flashed light purple, the ether telling her to be careful.
