[Heehee, I hope I'm alive to see Felix. x] Maybe I can be spared...]
Vence stood facing Pride with a calm expression, but his mind was in chaos. Now though, he was certain he would not use the power of shadows. It would only worsen things for him.
Pride's vice is humility. How can I show that without Getting myself killed?
Vence once again struck his blade into the ground, and sat down beside it, leaving himself ungaurded. He needed to think, and Pride would not kill him unless he was attacking her. Die fighting; that was what she wanted. He would not give her that, though. He needed to think.
Humility, the vice of pride. What can I do....or say?
That was an option, wasn't it? All the things he had ever boasted about, or said that uplifted himself in anyway. What if he denied them. The lies that the mind tricked itself into thinking real -- what if he revealed to himself the truth? That he was not the best. He was inferior to the gods, that was certain. To others like him, mortals, he was but just another, like any. Yes, he had certain skills that proved valuable, but lacked others that were neccesary. And his friends, especially. Craban was better at him than probably several things. Renten, well, he was just better all around. He was an enigma to him, Renten. And Felix. definitely a better person. His old friend Theil, as well. How long had it been sinse he had seen him? Too long.
Everyone was better than he was. The only thing he was good for was fighting. Why had he chosen to fight? Was it destiny, or some fluke? He couldn't do anything more. Everyone else could at least cook a meal for themselves, even.
"You win Pride. I cannot deny that you are better than me. Everyone is better than me, really. I can fight, but that's about the extent of my use. And look, I can't even beat you. What am I good for? My friends are probably ready to beat your comrades, and here I sit, content on dying by your hand, because I can't beat you."

"Because There's more than one way to win. Tae si kyr sar maer jhol iadyl si shys maer saes jhol ol ti, eil jhaer thyseli moli iadyl ti, sar Ai tae jholi syl eir sor." May the gods that shed light upon the world shed their light on me, and let fortune smile upon me, that I may live through all trials.
Vence pulled his sword out from the ground, Glad that Renten had come. Hopefully, Renten knew what he was doing, and if what he did didn't work, he knew Renten could bring him back.
"You lose, Pride," Vence said. He took his sword, holding it like a dagger...And ran it through himself. Everything went blank for a moment, and then the pain shattered through his defences.
"Renten, Finish her," he gagged, and fell forward, dead.
Where am I? The world around him was indescribable. Everything, yet nothing, was here. A void where time did not exist. Who was I? Was he a being? Where was this? Was this a place? Was this...death? This is what you asked for. To live through all trials. Your soul has been guided to the realm of the gods, to lay in wait for the danger to pass. I have consulted with the goddess of fate, and you shall return to your body shortly. Who..what was that voice? Where did it come from? The realm of the gods? Was this what this place was? By Eshper's sword, I must be dreaming before death. No dream is this, child of mine, said a different voice. Your strong heart and will brought you here. As a man destined to change the world, with your power of mine, to use fire, you will not die yet. Now, return, and take pride in your being. Do not let pride consume you, as it almost did, however. The realm of the gods, the indescribable place, faded away into light. tell no one what you have seen. The realm of the gods is not a sight to disclose to others.
[Don't worry, Vence is dead for only a few minutes. Enough time for Renten to finish Pride off. ^^ ]
