thirteen [voice/action/just terrible]
[Mid-morning is drawing near, and the house is too quiet. Martel should have been awake already. Despite the uncertainty that has settled heavily between him and his sister, there are plenty of things Mithos does still know about her, and this is definitely out of the ordinary. Softly, he knocks at her door. No reply. With a knot of worry tightening in his stomach, he carefully pushes the door open to look inside and...
He's greeted by an empty room. No sister, none of her personal possessions. No sign that anyone had ever occupied this space. Only one conclusion sits at the end of this equation. Numbness overtakes his body and heart. Desperate, his mind fights against the truth; he runs for his journal and hastily, shakily, flips it open.]
[VOICE - filtered to Martel | filter VOIDED]
Martel? Martel! Where are--
[--He stops. The filter isn't working. She can't hear this. His journal falls from his hands and the feed ends. The chilling realization that she's gone pierces him as suddenly as the first time she was taken from him. Classic vertigo. He doesn't know how to breathe properly. He forgets how to stand on two feet and slowly crumples to the floor. He doesn't fall to pieces; that would imply that there's something left to break. Whatever remains is quickly grinding to dust. He lets it out, the pain that's rapidly smothering him from the inside. But no matter how much he diffuses, there's still more to take its place.]
[ACTION - AFTERNOON]
[He's scraped himself up off the floor (for now) and run out of tears (for now), and he needs someone to blame. Anyone. He doesn't care. The only truth of the world: Martel is gone, and he deserves compensation for his loss. Everyone owes him something, and he owes them retribution. Mithos prowls the village, looking for any and all opportunities to inflict some of his own pain on a scapegoat.
Later, when he's exhausted his body but his hurt and rage continue to burn, when he's hit the point where he can't feel any emptier, he reaches for the journal again. It's all he can think to do.]

He steps to the side to let the shadows of a nearby building obscure him a little. Begin channeling mana into a spell, take advantage of the element of surprise. Under his breath:] Thunder blade.
[A large blade of electrically-charged energy will now by hurtling down at you from the sky, Frey. It might hurt a bit. Enjoy. Mithos would have preferred a more powerful spell, to cause greater pain, but without his Cruxis Crystal he has a difficult enough time managing just this.]

Shut up. [He takes hold of the staff, to push it away and try to climb back to his feet.]

Re: [action] .....and hours later I notice icon fail
His chest hurt and he wouldn't be surprised if he was going to be black and blue for a good while after the punishment Mithos put it through. But more then that, he was confused and overall, worried.
He'd just been attacked for no reason whatsoever by someone who was a 'friend' of Kaori's. There was killing intent there, for the simple crime that he existed.
This kind of hate... it was poisonous, wasn't it?
Sighing, he folds his weapon back up and stows it at his back, going to pick up the smaller boy. Mithos' weapon he could give a care less about, at the moment, and he leaves it where it lies.]
