Jormungandr trudged along the road to West Capitol, glad for the temporary reprieve of night, as she had been on the verge of overheating when the sun began to set, her cold-bloodedness preventing her from being able to regulate her internal temperature. She wanted to fly there, but she had decided that that would draw too much attention, which in her eyes meant any attention at all. And so, she had begun the trek to the city, her eyes darting constantly, searching for any potential threats. She felt the power of the Makyo star, and glanced up, a grin spreading across her face. Perhaps I can let my guard down a little bit.... I mean, who in this desert could possibly hurt me when I have the power of the Makyo star? she mused, chuckling. she gradually relaxed as the minutes passed, confident in her ability to fend off any attackers.
She frowned thoughtfully as she realized she wasn't sure how far away West Capitol was. She might have to endure many more days of the Desert's unforgiving environment. The thought did not sit well with her. She resolved to find some place cold and dark to stay when she found the city. she had had enough of the desert, with its furnace-like heat, and the Sun constantly beating down on her. She needed somewhere to relax. But she still had many miles to go before she reached her destination...... (Thread PL:3,395. Makyo Star Boost active. PL Boost: x8. Total PL:27,160) Nostalgic Ayumu

While Ayumu was searching for a certain target, somebody who was known to this woman he was chasing after while the star of darkness above his very head was shining unto the galaxy, somewhere far, far away this beast would be granting the strenght of some rather powerfull appearances to the demons that associate themselves with it. Blasting his way through the sky while jumping side to side with Hana over the desert like enviroment, the heat doing little more than be a little extra nuisance as his fingers cracked softly, starting to feel the cold sweat run down his back as Hana had one of her interesting smiles dressing her face before it was then that they noticed their target, strenghtened possibly by this dark star itself as Hana unleashed the full brunt of her strenght to stop her movement while slowly starting to lower her body infront of her, Ayumu lowering his body three steps behind Hana while looking alot more careless. “Hello.” ayumu spoke, his smile having a cold edge to it. “I have heard of a few little attempts of yours, may i be able to know your name? I am looking for somebody to try a few attempts of strenghtening on and i am feeling like i have found the right description of this person i was told... so would you mind having a few hours of training with me? Although this price may be a bit pricey, i am certain that it would help you drink the blood of this rival of yours... Collan was it?” Hana was just standing by the side while keeping her body relaxed and preventing any holes from forming, she knew that he was merely planning to lead both of them by the nose, letting them strike at each other while strenghtening them, hoping to find who would be the better comrade to side with in the long run. Especially as this woman seemed more demonic than the predecessors,more demonic than Ayumu had planned in the least his smile then slowly started softening up “Would you be willing to sell your soul to the darkness for a promise to unlimited power or do you have that pure desire in yourself to train as hard as you can to grow beyond yourself?” Manifesting the two choices in a small floating object that was balancing the two in perfect harmony, almost as if he was trying to make a message of having her pick rather quicky before his patience ran out. Something was making this man be aggresive but it sure as hell would not be the weather around here.
(Ayumu's pissed! But apparently not fully at you, something seemed to have ticked him off badly! PL : 0, Hana PL : 3396096)

Jormungandr's jaw had dropped the moment she sensed Hana's PL, and she knew she could not possibly fight the woman. But then her focus shifted to Ayumu, and she grew suspicious. she could not sense his power, but as he seemed to be the leader among the two of them, he was likely the stronger one. "My name is Jormungandr, si-" she began, acting respectful in an attempt to avoid their wrath, then she realized he had mentioned Collan, and she instinctively dropped into a defensive crouch, ready to spring into action despite the knowledge that she would be ridiculously easy for them to dispatch.
She tilted her head curiously as he showed her the item, before pointing at the side that represented training hard. She did this partially because she thought that was what he wanted her to pick, but she was not without other reasons. When she thought about it, she didn't want her strength to come from something or someone else, as such power was unreliable, and almost never came without strings attached.
As she waited for Ayumu's response, she examined him. He seemed on edge, though she had no idea what could possibly have angered him, simply hoping it didn't cause him to hurt her. She was very much attached to her life, and would rather he didn't take it from her. She wondered what exactly the man's price would be, and prayed fervently that she would be able to pay it.

While snapping his fingers as a small pillar formed behind Ayumu, starting to tower into the sky up to three metres tall before a large cloth covered the top, forming a tent like appearance before a single ring of stone brick started to rise up from the sand beneath us as the one at work was seemingly Hana if one were to not pay attention, yet with the carefull manipulation of the fingers from Ayumu it became obvious that this rather strange technique without any real display of energy was being manipulated by him before the cloth ontop was soon replaced by a tiled roof and the unbearable heat started to be washed away by a fresh, refreshing breeze as we were standing in a large stone circulair hall with hana starting to walk off a table that had risen from the ground before sitting to the side of Ayumu, just two seats away but in range of him still while letting out a enjoyable breath. Ayumu himself was touching the tips of his fingers together upon finishing as he touched the table to invite you to sit down with a rather unnerving smile. “You seem to be dedicated to improve yourself via determination and not some cheap trick that a gypsy promises you, as it is not hard to listen to the heartbeats of multiple races, it is not that hard to also take a moment to know how to see a person is truely lying... “ softly shaking his head. Looking towards Hana, Ayumu had a peculiar look on his face, as if he was awaiting something before a small pocket formed between her fingers, a small plate starting to come out before a large bowl of strips of meat from varying creatures that were rather diligently cooked were placed in the midst, showing one that this was not just a invitation towards hell but instead a conversation that went into two directions, but above all, having established a mental connection, Ayumu was already using his expierience via the links of telepathic contact to dig into the emotional reactions of this woman to intensify any positive feelings that were to pop up when conversing. “So. Tell me, what does a fair maiden like you happen to be doing in such a area like this because right now your in my little circulair stone home... also, please, try the meal, i made it myself. But i do have to remind you that even when you are a treat to the eyes, i must warn you that i will keep my own little friends and allies as intact as i want them to be. Nobody wants to see that what they hold dear firmly snapped in two right?” Using the rapid switch of the emotion of fear to shock to bring out a few more fluffier emotions akin to affection to try and lure this creature into becoming more co-operative... Ayumu started slowly wondering to himself what would happen with a creature as weak as the one before him when he started working at their emotional psyche like this along with the massive diffrence in strenght, especially with Hana assisting...
(Using telepathy to try and get some interesting reactions out~ Don't worry and have fun~ The killing atmosphere is gone, he is just showing interest! Also i manifested a 3 metre tall house with a width from left to right at 25 metres, its pretty big but seems to be kept cool for now. Lets see how you play this little game of diplomacy~
EDIT: Small tip, you are able to refuse any mental shenanigans as you wish, i am just doing these to bring up a few interesting scenarios, but you are always able to refuse them! ovo)

Jormungandr watched in amazement as the structure formed around, then sat down when offered her a seat, looking at him curiously. What could this seemingly omnipotent man want with her? She listened as he spoke, and blinked when she realized how it might have been if she had actually lied when he asked her how she wished to gain power.
She glared at the food, suspicious. She still didn't trust this man, though she didn't seem to have any choice other than to what he said. She winced at his threat, well aware that he could just order his lackey to turn her to ash, then frowned as she wondered how to answer his query - before remembering he could tell if she was lying.
She sighed, wishing she didn't have to tell him, though there was no real harm in it. She simply would've preferred to keep the number of people aware of what she was doing as low as possible. "I was on my way to West Capitol, to learn about this planet, as well as perhaps finding a place to stay and someone to train me." she said

Nodding at the answers you have given, Ayumu let out a soft laugh, softly dripping in emotions into that pool of thought that was known to be the collective consciousness. “You have found somebody to train you, but why must you gain power.” What Ayumu had been doing slowly, carefully and above all, almost without making a single alarming notion was rewarding this opponent before his eyes every single time she thought something positive towards this old fart with a small release of an chemical called Dopamine. Slowly bringing up a rather interesting selection of choices before this opponent as he then softly tilted his head. “This area is open to be left, but I must warn you, you have caught me on a rather bad day as out there, I saw a few places who had their families slaughtered with blades by a group of bandits and I am attempting to gather a few groups that are not too strong to eliminate them. They need to be captured and not killed, and as such the stronger warriors will be a bit too much as one blast could potentially tear through their fragile bases and cause the other ones that do survive in the rubble to merely take out their blades and slice the necks of their hostages to make a point.”
The woman sitting beside him simply stood up before starting to make her way towards you, materializing a cup before pulling out a small canister on her back, a small capsule? When it was pressed, Hana had soon a jug of a strange fruit juice. The scent was sweet and soft yet its hidden allure was how it had two colors, blue and orange slowly swirl together without mixing up in the least. An beautiful little orchestra of the dancing two colors being poured into your glass as Ayumu then asked “So may I ask how much one needs to convince somebody like you to follow a small training course to save a few lives.”
