Characters: Kain and Rydia
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: Kain is taking out his angst on the local monsters, Rydia is on her way to visit the city.
Location: Somewhere outside of Alexandria
Date: May, 1803... I assume before Rydia meeting with Golbez
Warnings: IDK. Kain, maybe? XD

Golbez's arrival was more than enough motivation for Kain to move on from this city. He'd remained there a while for its resemblance to his home kingdom, but now it was becoming less appealing. Besides, he'd meant what he'd said before about needing to try out his newly acquired spear on fiercer enemies. He'd gotten too used to the monsters here. Time to find new challenges to test himself against.

But before he fully left the area, more training. It was an especially intense session he was putting himself through. But for as much as he was pushing himself, it was doubtful he would wear down soon. At the moment, he was fighting his way through a group of local monsters. Kain leapt high above them and brought Gungnir down to tear through them.

Every strike he made was fiercer than it needed to be. As if by cutting down physical enemies, he could also cut away the past. Wishful thinking. Golbez was a reminder of what he'd done, of being controlled, of the level he'd sunk to... a reminder of how foolishly he'd let himself be ruled by darkness.

Rydia watched Kain several paces behind, having caught up to him a few moments previous. She had been about to jump in and join the battle, but paused, noticing Kain in action. That he was far more forceful than he needed to be didn't escape her. If she had wondered whether or not he had noticed the appearance of Golbez on the network, such doubts were laid to rest now.

She might have continued to keep herself removed from the battle, but one of the monsters, a bandersnatch, noticed the summoner and made her a target instead. It was charging at a pace too swift for her summoning, but Rydia uncoiled her whip. As soon as it was in range, she lashed out.
