Starter for Sephiroth

[galeforcetempest]

Near the edge of a forest, a violent tornado suddenly forms from nothing. The phenomenon ends, and Goenitz is left standing in that spot, blue eyes glancing around as if he were looking for something.

He spots another man in the distance by the cliffside, calmly approaching with heavy footsteps. A dangerous smirk graces his lips, finally deciding to speak.

"Just as the rumors stated, you are a difficult man to find."

"While you may be quite powerful with several elements, I have mastered the one I control. Observe!"

A gust of wind causes Goenitz to disappear again, this time reappearing above Sephiroth to attempt a flying kick aimed at the man's head! He seems to be trying to knock Sephiroth towards the tornado.

[onewingangel]

A hiss through gritted teeth as the kick sent him back aways at a high rate of speed.

He'd halt himself to streak away, his body seeming to pulse. Several more violet orbs appearing around him before they hone in on Goenitz.

"This feeling...something I haven't had in a while" he would almost muse to himself.

His body glowing a blinding white now. He'd lift a hand to summon several meteors to rain down around him for space, but also some hard hazardous damage

[galeforcetempest]

After Goenitz lands, he watches as Sephiroth's body appears to pulsate with his exertion. He smirks, clearly excited to be fighting such a powerful man.

"Beautiful..." He murmurs, blue irises glowing brightly as the orbs crash around him. The dust soon becomes a cyclone, and dissipates to reveal Goenitz again. His robes now tattered.

Looking up to see the meteors, Goenitz scoffs, disappearing in another gust of wind. As the destruction damages the area around them, Goenitz appears suddenly from the winds in front of Sephiroth, attempting to seize the man by the throat.

[onewingangel]

The ground breaking apart from the hard blasts of the meteorites force, smoke billowing around.

!

A scowl at the hand around his throat, blue eyes glimmer with malice...before he gives a smirk.

His blade sinking into the man without much thought other than to attempt to break his hold.

[galeforcetempest]

With his nails digging into Sephiroth's neck, Goenitz grunts with a widened glare when the blade sinks into him. Blood pours from the wound, and the priest brings up a boot to try and force the other man back to release him.

"U-Ungh...!"

[onewingangel]

He would hiss out in pain and annoyance, a mark visible on his throat.

The blade pulled out, littering the ground with crimson droplets once the kick sent him back a good several feet.

[galeforcetempest]

Glancing at his blood stained hand, Goenitz grits his teeth and stands while clutching the wound again.

"You are quite formidable indeed, Sephiroth... Not many can harm a mere hair on my head, let alone this..."

With a wave of his free hand, a tornado spawns from the ground to aim at the swordsman!

[onewingangel]

He'd remain silent at that notion. Although he could share that thought...

The vortex of the tornado would pull him off his feet before he could react, his blade up in a more defensive manner now

[galeforcetempest]

As the tornado rages with Sephiroth inside of it, Goenitz smiles darkly as he flies upwards to meet the swordsman. Despite his stab wound, he laughs as the harsh winds start to slice at the other man's body.

"Hahahaha! Show me how you'll defend against this, Sephiroth!"

Debris caught in the tornado flies around them both, making the winds much more dangerous than they would be on their own.

[onewingangel]

"T-Tsk!"

He'd battle against the winds and the ripped up debris to vanish and gain some semblance of proximity to the other man to bring his blade overhead.

Bloodied feathers scattered around and whipping about.

[galeforcetempest]

He reaches out with a dimly glowing hand, catching the blade with an audible 'CLANG'. He grits his teeth, blood rolling down his arm as he attempts to shove Sephiroth back. It seems like he's really giving his all with this!

"I knew you were no ordinary man..."

[onewingangel]

Gritting his teeth, sent away from the shove. He'd fling the blood off his blade.

His coat in tatters, wing and hair heavily disheveled.

[galeforcetempest]

Goenitz exhales, eyeing Sephiroth carefully before he smirks and closes his eyes, clapping his hands.

"You've exceeded my expectations, Sephiroth. Thank you."

The surrounding winds begin to die down, and Goenitz floats towards the ground before crouching slightly. He clearly had taken more damage than he was expecting.

[onewingangel]

He kept his head high despite his deep injuries. A slight furrowing a bit once Goenitz praised him.

Something he's rather...unaccustomed to in this day and age.

[galeforcetempest]

Eventually, Goenitz stands again. He looks over the other battered man, and chuckles to himself.

"You've spilled nearly as much blood as I have, yet you seem completely unbothered... A true soldier to the core, Sephiroth. I commend you."

[onewingangel]

He'd place some long silver hair behind his ear, keeping kis crystal blue eyes on the other man.

"Hmph..." a low exhale, placing his blade back in its sheath.

[galeforcetempest]

"Well? Have I convinced you to join our cause? Or would you rather take more time to think about it? It would be a shame for a man with your ability to go to waste."

He grins.

[onewingangel]

"Hmph. It seems simple enough. Although clearly it seems as though you don't need me. With your prowess and strength."

He brushes his long hair back and utters a slow breath.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕...

Sephiroth would give a small nod none the less. "You do have a convincing argument" a faint smirk in referring to the battle they had.

[galeforcetempest]

"I see nothing wrong with amassing as much power as you can. I prefer guaranteed success over anything else."

Goenitz smirks in return.

"Thank you for your kind words, Sephiroth. Watching you fight is quite the spectacle."

[onewingangel]

"I will say I haven't had a thrill like that in some time..." Although his tone kept its flat timber.

[galeforcetempest]

"The feeling is quite mutual... I've had plenty of battles over the years, but... I haven't felt that excited before."

Goenitz clears his throat, attempting to remain somewhat proper despite the damage he's taken.

"I'd like to learn more about you. Such as where you learned to fight and the source of such power... Perhaps over dinner?"

[onewingangel]

A blink.

He'd be taken back some. The other man still rather forward...which he appreciated.

A hand raised to cast cura over the both of them. Although he was regenerating already, this hastened it some. Both men temporarily glowing before the spell dissipated

[galeforcetempest]

Goenitz raises an eyebrow as the aura was casted over them, feeling his wounds slowly starting to close. He looks towards Sephiroth again, lips forming a smirk at the man's ability.

"Here I was assuming that I was testing you... You were never in any danger, were you?"

[onewingangel]

An almost impish grin casted across his face briefly.

"Something like that" a blunt statement before he stepped forward, long hair billowing about his form before resting behind his shoulder.

[galeforcetempest]

Clearly impressed, Goenitz closes his eyes with a grin of his own.

"I'm becoming quite fascinated by you, Sephiroth. I look forward to learning more about you. Shall we?"

He gives a formal bow.
