In a universe where rebirth is as unavoidable as death, to be ripped away from the circle of life and forced to live in limbo is a fate that no soul would wish ever to befall itself. Yet, that is the story of Raxyas. His is one of the many souls con...
Raxyas and Xayn had now returned to Nu's cathedral. The rescued soldier was sent off to acquire a new vessel and Raxyas was telling Nu what had transpired. In the meantime, Xayn had healed a good amount, and was almost back to full mobility.
Raxyas: ... And that is why Bazren is not here. Whatever that thing was, if it was not for her there is no way we would have been able to leave that citadel.
Nu: I see... So, it seems like there is no acquiring that box without taking care of the beasts guarding them. All the better, you can carry on with your rescue mission and, once all my soldiers are back, we shall launch a full assault on the citadel, ridding it of beasts and recovering the box.
Xayn: But master Nu, even rescuing them may prove challenging. While the beasts do not typically chase after intruders, they will if they spot any. They are very territorial... We may not be able to rescue everyone depending on where their vessels were destroyed.
Nu: That is bothersome... And are we sure these beasts are as tough as they seem? Is there perhaps nothing we can do with fewer men?
Raxyas: Trust me, I have seen a lot of things in my time in this world, but nothing like that. I do not even know if your full force of soldiers would be enough to take one down, let alone-

Xayn: Is that...?
Bazren: Yep. Wasn't so tough.
They looked at Bazren's mangled vessel. It was missing many chunks of bone, an arm, and struggling to fully regenerate.
Raxyas: You barely got out of there, look at your vessel!
Xayn: Still, this is impressive. You did this alone, Bazren?
Raxyas begins healing her vessel.
Bazren: Yeah... They are immune to any attacks that target their flesh, but if you manage to hit their bones with enough force to shatter them, you can immobilize them pretty quickly. After figuring that out he was pretty manageable. Apart from the incredible speed and strength, that is.
Nu: This is fantastic news! Bazren, how many men do you think you need to take down one such beast?
Bazren: Well, one. I can easily do it.
Raxyas and Xayn were shocked.
Nu: Is that so? Very well then! Raxyas and Xayn, you are to assist Bazren in ridding the citadel of any and all beasts. Once you are finished, you may continue with your rescue mission. I trust this should not prove too difficult, Bazren?
Bazren: As long as we can take them one by one, we should be fine.
