Eventually caremen decided that she had more than stroke the new comers feathery wings and pulled her reach back, as she took a few steps backwards towards Anri. Still not sure what was really going on Anri stood there sliently watching the girl as he awaited another response from her, she almost seemed like she was going to fall part from shear nervousness. He wasn't sure if it was his extiori body that made her nervous or if she was just like this all the time, humans and other aliens both alike had issues with dealing with such a foreign creature as himself. It was unusual to see sure a armored plated creature, even more unusual that one had evolved to the point where space travel had been possible.
Carmen jumped in and told her name to the new comer as he pointed back towards Anri she wanted to tell his as well but he had not had the chance to do such a thing as of yet. Suggesting that they should both introduced each other Anri nodded his head in agreement, it was rather annoying having to refer to someone by the way they looked or when they arrived, it made it more difficult for the conversation to progress when no one had an idea of the others name.
"That's a good idea, getting tried of all this mystery. I am Anri of the Vennor." He stated as he smashed the flat side of his balled up fist against his chest, making a thick thudding sound as he did.
"Its a pleasure too meet the two of you, Carmen, Tenshi." He looked at them as he mentioned their names.
Hearing the mention of a circus troupe he raised his eye brow in question, he had no idea what such a thing was. As he was fairy new to the earth scene he still was finding out new things about the world, the culture, places, food people all the things were so strange than what he a had seen from what the rest of the vale had to offer.
"I must apologize again I as well have not been on his rock for very long, I am not familiar what which you speak of. What the hell is a 'Circus', and why would they need 'troops' is it some kind of army?" He questioned Tenish as he tried to grasp his mind around the foreign idea.

Watching the woman that soon introduces herself as Tenshi the pink haired girl was not surprised when she mentions she has not met the armored man before, he himself having seemingly realized he had remembered things incorrectly. Having been the first to introduce herself amongst the trio she waits patiently as the others do, giggling some as Tenshi dips into a bow as she greets each of them. So formal! Carmen preferred the much more relaxed handshake when meeting someone knew or a simple wave, bowing or curtsying just seemed so over the top to her. Still, to each their own she supposed. Anri for his part offers a strange solute, slapping his closed fist against his solid sounding chest. Now knowing his name, but still unsure what the “of the Vennor” part meant she was glad the round of introductions had concluded for she was as curious about this “circus” as Anri was.
”It is a pleasure to meet you both, but you will have to excuse me as well Miss Tenshi for like Anri I have no idea what a circus is, could you explain?” Having lost the memories of her life before the chaotic energies of Pandora had transformed her into her current state; Carmen knew little of the world she once called home. Although she had spent 12 years on Earth as a human it felt just as new to her as it did to her two newest friends. This circus the winged lady spoke up sounded interesting though, especially if it was a place that she had spent time. If someone with such a pretty face and large elegant wings was part of a circus, then what other wonders might it hold? Depending on the woman’s answer the Makaio was already making future plans to seek out one of these things…pending it was something that one could easily find.
Blinking a little as she pulls herself from her quickly derailing thoughts she smiles again, her mouth having started to hang open slightly as she focused on her thoughts instead of her composure. The man that operated the elevator had been right, there was nothing like being at the top of a high building, look at all the people you got to meet!

"It is nice to meet you, Anri and Carmen."
Like Carmen, Tenshi did not know what 'The Vennor' meant at all. She voiced her question, before thinking about how to explain a circus to her two acquaintances.
How could they not know what they were? They were now native to Earth, although originated elsewhere, their main attraction being oddities, so aliens often were a large part. The more interesting the alien, the more people, and by transitive property, more money, would show up. Tenshi took a second to think about how to explain.
"A not troops, troupe, Tee arr oh yoo pee ee. Its, umm...a group of performers from a circus. A circus, is like, kind of...well, its comprised of a bunch of performers. You travel around to entertain people, and make money. You typically have a strong man, or a pair of strongmen, sometimes a bearded lady. Oftimes, you have clowns...funny people who do silly things to make the crowd laugh. You have people like me, a trapeze artist...a I swing from hanging bars, do flips, make people 'ooh', and 'aah', and..." Tenshi realised she was going about this rather poorly. The two she was talking to must have no idea what she was talking about. She continued on recklessly.
"Its usually in a large tent, and people come from all over. They originated on other planets, but Earth has adopted them as their own...they're really all over the place in the Fall and early winter. Umm..." She would stop to allow for any questions they might still have.

Anri had noticed the pink hair had giggled when Tenshi had bowed before the two of them, though what joy she could have gotten out of it he did not know. Bowing was a great way to show a sign of respect though it was usually something the troops would sign off towards their commander, showing that they trusted them enough to cast their eyes away and be vulnerable towards them. It showed a great of trust, at least in his culture. Having traveled too so many different worlds he often found that two completely different civilizations could have the same gestures but with completely different meanings. Whereas on one world a hand shake could be a greeting of sorts in another realm it would mean a challenged to the death, the extreme different between the two always made him laugh. How something so calm as a hand shake could mean death for a person, it was a pretty quick escalation. He really hoped that the woman did not have intent on trying to fight Anri to the death since he had little understanding on earths culture she could have told him just that and he would have never known. He didn't like to judge others based on their looks but he thought he could take her, but he really much not rather fight on his day off.
Taking note that Anri didn't not understand what a circus was Carmen chimed in also mentioning that she had no idea what it was either, which made Anri cast a questionable eye toward her. She was human was she not? Other than the vibrant pink hair that grew out of her head see looked just like the rest of the people that walked the streets below. The way Tenish had just causally mentioned a circus it seemed like general information that any human should know of, which begged the question from her why did she not know? Was she an alien like himself; it was all possible she had an ability similar too that of the woman Jenn he had met at Kemuri's castle. Able to change her form at will too pretty much whatever she most desired, a powerful tool in the art of deception but why would she need such a thing. She didn't seem like one to hide things but not one too just go around divulging her secrets to everyone she met, somewhere in between, maybe asking her he would be able to squeeze and answer out of her.
All the while he had been thinking this through his head Tenshi had still been talking, though he had been listening he had only caught a few lines what she had said. Shaking his head he returned back to the conversation as he did his best to absorb the information she had been saying. Something about performers, money, and tents, it sounded like something similar he had done before to make a little cash on the side, but it couldn't imagine it was nearly as safe as a circus.
"Hmm...sounds kinda similar to the gladiator fights I did a few years back. Now that, that was fun. I was what you would call a 'performer', used to go down into the big arena and fight aliens and creatures alike with my bare hands. Pretty sure that was the time I fought the Planetary death worms... good pay and good times." Anri sighed happily thinking back fondly on his past.
"But some how I get the feeling that this 'circus' inst nearly as violent as the gladiator fights." He grinned playfully.

The polite angel lady answered her question in relative detail, the pink haired girl taking in everything. The explanation of this “circus” had her quickly drawn in; all this talk of strange creatures and strongmen had the Makaio eager to visit one of these things herself. Tenshi was a trapeze artist, which was apparently an acrobatic individual who spent most of their time high up in the air. Glancing back to the woman’s wings it was no wonder she had taken up such a role in the group, those lovely feathered appendages no doubt allowing her to soar through the tent with ease even if she didn’t have a handle in her hands to swing with. Carmen was definitely going to have to check one of these places out, hopefully before the three of them parted ways Tenshi could supply her with some directions. Little did the girl know she had already met the head of one of these attractions, a beautiful and exotic woman that went by the name Adrien La’Moore. They had run into each other in Central City and even ended up fighting alongside each other for a short while, but ultimately had parted ways shortly thereafter.
Eyes on Tenshi the entire time Carmen was unaware that Anri was more focused on her than the explanation being given, his curiosity about her well placed. Carmen had once been a human girl, only a twelve year old to be exact, but through a serious of chaotic events and the overwhelming power of a being known as Pandora she had been transformed into her current state. Not only had her body been aged, but it had been reconstructed into that of a Makaio. She carried some resemblance to the girl she had once been, but not enough to be noted, her own sister not having even recognized her. It was not a fact that she neither hid, nor was it was that she openly gave to others…there really wasn’t a reason to. Most that had found out what she was had done so in combat, questioning the change in her eye color and the ever so slight change in her canines when in her transformed state. While most demons were calculating and manipulative Carmen was quite…simple, the girl having no motives behind her actions beyond her quest for entertainment.
When the armored man spoke it draws her attention to him, again not sure as to what a gladiator was either. From the sounds of it they spent time fighting one another…not as fun sounding as a circus. She enjoyed a good fight as long as it proved entertaining, but the idea of a performing for a crowd wasn’t that appealing, she preferred to be in the crowd watching the spectacle. Both Tenshi and Anri seemed to live exciting lives, compared to her as at least. All she had done recently was eat a delicious snack called a pretzel, gotten lost in a forest and rode a giant blue creature up to a floating island. Maybe this is what she needed…more interesting friends.
”Where can I find one of these giant tents Tenshi or do I have to wait until Fall? When is that?”Carmen had heard of the different season, but for the life of her did not know when they were. She had seen signs all over announcing “Summer Sales” so she assumed that it was currently Summer…hopefully Fall was soon so she could search out one of these circuses.[/font]

Anri told them about how he used to be a gladiator. Tenshi knew about gladiator fights; on the planet where she'd first met Adrien, there had been many places where one could go watch. The Valkyrie had never herself been interested, but she was interested in what Anri was saying. She laughed at his joke when he had finished.
"You are right. Circuses are not as violent as gladiator rings. And I'm surprised you fought with your hands...most prefer a sword and shield, though I've seen some proficient at trident and net."
"Carmen, I'm sorry to say, but I don't think there are any circuses going on just at the moment...though maybe near the end of Summer, there might be some," Tenshi said in response to Carmen's question. "And that won't be for about two and a half months..."
The winged woman looked at her conversation partners. For the most part, she liked them. They were new to Earth, as she was, though appeared to have been here less time. That Carmen looked human and was not familiar with human-like things meant little to Tenshi; she'd met plenty of aliens who had looked just like humans, until they transformed into something else. Some had even been shapeshifters, though Tenshi cared little for them.

Speaking about his times as a gladiator the two looked upon him with interest, from the questionable appearance of Carmen's face it looked as though she did not know what a gladiator was either, which added even more doubt that she was a human. Thought he had not been on earth for long knew that at some point in their history they must have had such fights every culture he had come across participated in such activities even if they were called by a different name they always revolved around fighting one another for glory, honor and wealth though Anri preferred the last one than the rest. What was this girl, he could not longer believe that she was human at this point though most of what he based this off of was just from the small clues she gave away while talking and not of actually physical proof or admittance. This was something he was going to find out from her at some point but there was no need to rush such a thing, he was enjoying their conversation, he got the feeling that they were not the intelligent kind of which he would get into great scientific debates over the principles of gravity and their effect on planetary movements but they were entertaining to him.
"Yes well you see the thing was I found fighting with a sword and shield was rather boring for me, it made the fights to easy for me. Fighting with my own hands made the fights last much longer which the crowd loved plus with my natural armored skin there really wasn't a reason to need such a thing such as a shield it would just make it all the more difficult for my opponents, had to make them feel like they had the upper hand." Anri grinned at the notion at the last part.
Mentioning the idea if there was any cirrus nearby or if they're were going to be around later in the planets year Tenshi shook her head saying that it wouldnt be for another few months before the idea was even acceptable that they're might be one around. It didn't bother him too much though Carmen might be saddened by the fact, truth was Anri did not believe that such a place would fully entertain him. Laughter was great and all but he found that his time would be best spent else where, working or training to become stronger. There was going to be a big fight coming up soon and though he felt as though he was already pull prepared he had no idea what might come from it, Kemuri had given him such little information on oh whoever it might be that he was going to be facing down.
Stretching his back he arched forward as the joints in his spine popped and crackled under the new force he was applying on them, as much as he enjoyed standing he needed to find somewhere to rest his feet. Talking a few steps back he saw one of the A/c units that seemed to be on the roof of every building in the city, it seemed like these humans could not live without their chilled air, as for Anri he thought the weather was prefect the way it was, hot and humid. Stepping up to the base of the metal box Anri gave a slight hop as his bottom landed on the metal surface, however such a structure was not meant to hold a person of his size or weight and quickly buckled in under the new source of weight. Falling backwards in to the structure he found he was looking at the sky as he laid on his back his feet sticking out high above him, sparks shot off around him as the unit was completely destroyed its internal parts smoking from the damage he had caused.
"Hmm...wasn't expect that... these humans do not know how to build a sturdy cooling unit." He sighed as he laid there on his back.

The way Anri spoke about his time spent in these gladiatorial competitions Carmen wondered how skilled he might truly be. By his own words he chose to fight without a sword and shield simply because they made it too easy for him. A strange concept she thought, but then again all her training had been with various instruments, most of her time spent with guns and other ranged weapons. In her mind going at something or someone with just your fists was a major disadvantage, she preferred to blast at foes from afar. Her purple eyes drift down to the two pistols she had secured around her waist as she always found comfort in the weapons, even if she wasn’t wielding them.
The smile she had been wearing almost the entire interaction drooped into a frown as her shoulders slumped as it was revealed that she was going to have to wait, wait months even. The disappointment only lasted seconds though, the Makaio never really letting anything get her down for too long. Carmen believed in living in the moment and at the moment she had two rather unique individuals at her disposal. If she could not go find one of these circuses then she would spend more time with them. Smile curling back onto her lips as her shoulders lift up in a shrug, the pink haired girl was ready to move onto the next topic.
”All well it doesn’t….”Carmen’s sentence is cut off at the sound of buckling metal and the groan of a crushed A/C unit. Attention snapping over in the direction of the noise her long pink hair tosses some as her eyes come to rest on Anri, or at least his legs. The rest of him had sunk into the unit he had unintentionally destroyed. The demoness giggles a little at the unexpected entertainment, always up for a little mayhem even if it wasn’t intentional; some poor maintenance man was going to have to spend his weekend trying to figure out what had happened here. After the soft chuckle she turns back to Tenshi to continue what she had been saying.
”All well it doesn’t matter; I will just have to make sure to keep my eyes open a little later in the year. I do have to ask though, do you still take part in these events or have you…chosen new entertainments?” When the question is asked Carmen’s fingering points to various spots along the Valkyrie that still had blood on them, very curious as to what it came. For a circus woman she looked a little more like what Anri had explained a gladiator to be.

Tenshi giggled slightly as Anri fell through the ceiling.
"To my knowledge, they do not make cooling units for sitting on."
The pink haired girl explained that it was in her interests to find a circus when it was a better time, saying that it was fine there weren't any just at the moment. She also questioned whether Tenshi still participated in them, or if she'd found some other hobby. She motioned to the valkyrie's blood-spattered body. In all honesty, in the excitement, Tenshi had actually forgotten that she had originally been on her way home to get changed. She blushed slightly.
"Actually, I'm trying to find my ring leader, Miss La'moore. I got separated a while back, doing a little side job. As for this," she too motioned towards the crimson on her white "I don't think you'd believe the story even if I told you." Tenshi still had trouble believing it, but it had been all too real.
((Sorry about the post, now's not been a good time for me to be active. Hopefully my activity will pick up back to its usual by Monday. Again, I'm so so sorry for the late reply!))

Anri lay on his back as he faced up towards the bright blue sky above him, already her could her the giggles of the two girls as they must have seen if not heard his fall he had just experienced. Sighing to himself he just laid there watching the low hanging clouds slowly drift by, to most people laying in a pile of shredded metal and electronics would be uncomfortable but with his well padded armor he couldn't feel a thing through it. Reaching towards his bandolier he opened one of the many pockets that wrapped their way around the leather belt and took out a pack of cigarettes, though they weren't his favorite choice out of the things he could smoke they weren't bad plus they were all he had and he needed something to relax him while he kicked back. Popping the lid off the top he took a hold of one of the little white sticks with his mouth and pulled it out, holding it in the corner he generated a small ball of energy in his finger tip as he lit the end of the cigarette.
"Oh sure laugh at the big guy, no it's ok I'm enjoying this 'chair'." He joked as he took a drag from the stick as the burning end grew brighter in magnitude.
At Tensh's mention that the metal boxes were not to suppose to be sat on he called out to her.
"Ya...I can clearly see that now...."
Though he could have easily gotten himself out from the now crater of a metal box he found he was rather enjoying the spot and didn't have much plans on living anytime soon, though it would be much better as a chair than it would be a type of bed. Forcing down with his legs towards the roof top Anri craved his way through the metal as if he was moving through the air its self, taking only but a few seconds to shape the metal frame Anri soon found himself sitting in a nice metal chair, though it didn't really look to be the most stylish chair that had ever been made. Now that his feet were resting upon the ground he could fully see the two girls again, as he gave them a joking hello with a simple hand way.
Watching the to girls chat back and forth he view them both closely, neither of them seemed to be from this world, the wings along was more than enough to convince anyone of that and the way that Carmen talked gave him the same idea. They all seemed to be from other worlds, who for some reason or another managed to make their way to his blue ball these humans called earth. Was it fate that these three aliens would managed to cross paths? Or just a condescension that such a thing would happen?
Snapping back to the conversation once again Anri caught Tenshi speaking once again as she was just begin to talk about that blood that was smeared across her body, though at this point it was mostly caked dry. He was curious as too how she had gotten in such a condition and even though she thought that they wouldn't believe her even if she told them he was still interested plus Anri always loved a good story.
"Well give us a shot, I'm always up for a story, espcailly if it has lots of blood." He grinned at the last part.

Tenshi found the same enjoyment in Anri’s seat mishap that Carmen did, the two females giggling as the large armored man sank right into the air conditioner that he had tried to use as a seat. The pink haired girl didn’t realize how out of place she looked to Anri at the moment, appearing human yet not knowing much about the world that was commonly a human’s home. From her perspective he was the one that seemed out of place, did he not realize how much he weighed and what might happen if he sat down on something not built do handle his seemingly heavy frame? Of course Carmen did not think much more into it, not assessing her new friends as much as Anri was, she was just too simple minded to care.
As Anri lit up one of his cigarettes, Carmen’s nose crinkles a little, not very fond of the funny smell that the little sticks had once lit. Doing her best to ignore the smelly smell she focuses back on Tenshi as she explains the blood that she has splattered over her shapely form. Wouldn’t believe her? Carmen was probably one of the most gullible creatures on the planet, so she would believe Tenshi’s story without much of a question no doubt. After all she had listened to everything she had said about the circus, and with no real knowledge on the attraction herself had believed every word the angel had said. Anri beat her to the punch though, asking the winged woman to share her story with them anyway, the smoker seeming quite comfortable in his crude chair.
”Yeah, I agree. If there is blood involved it has to be an entertaining story.” Smiling wide the Makaio was quite excited to hear the tale. After all the female telling it was one that had said she worked for a circus so if that was her day job then who knew what kind of crazy adventures she went out on. Little did Carmen know that she had already met Adrien La’Moore a while back, the exotic dressing woman that she had actually fought alongside of for a short while in this very city. If she had known the demon would have happily offered up the information to Tenshi.

Anri had decided to make his comfort in the hole created from the broken wreckage of the AC unit. He waved at the two females jokingly, and made it known that, however unbelievable her story was, he would still like to hear it. Carmen piped in her agreement, and so Tenshi began.
"It was midday today, I was just walking around town, looking for a job. It was crowded, so I took a step aside into a little hollow, to gather my thoughts. Inside was this peculiar man. There was a thief down the road, and when he came running up, the man grabbed him. The police thanked him, and went on their way, and we started talking. He was also looking for a job, and just like that, we heard an announcement over the speakers."
While normally nervous when talking, telling a story seemed to awaken something in Tenshi. She wasn't the best at telling them, but she enjoyed recounting events. It made them more real to her, helped her to remember things. She actually kept a journal, for dreams, events, pretty much anything. She didn't have a bad memory, just didn't want to forget anything.
"They had said that there was...I think they said there was a 'winged reptilian creature.' They told the citizens to move inside, and any capable fighters to assist, as their was a reward. Brandon, that was the man's name, turned to me and told me that it seemed this would be the job we were looking for. I didn't necessarily agree, but as nothing else seemed to be presenting itself, I offered my assistance. And, away we were.
"There was an obnoxiously loud roar, and Brandon said something...I don't quite remember, but he got onto the subject of dragons. I didn't believe that dragons still existed, I thought they'd died out. I was suspicious; what did this man have to do with dragons, that he would know what they were, and how to fight them, and that they were following him? It was really weird. But I digress. He told me about the dragons, and not but a few seconds later one of them landed on top of the building we were on. It was a huge, scaly thing, blue, and we were outside. It had some sort of frost breath, everywhere it breathed froze. I flew up to meet it, and Brandon had to climb up a ladder.
"I quickly formed my Gungnir, pointing it at the dragon's face. It seemed to accept my challenge as some sort of duel. While I was busy with it, another dragon showed up, this one red. It breathed fire...God this must sound insane." She stopped the story mid way in case the two had any questions. Should they have some sort of interjection, Tenshi would have stopped mid story to answer or reply.

A smirk of joy shot across Anri's face when the pink hair girl chimed in that she too enjoyed a good story filled with blood, she was rather an usual girl for her age. What had he had observed of the Earth culture that women her age were more concern about shopping and those coffee places as they messaged each other constantly but this girl didn't really match such a picture. Instead she almost seemed to be one of those people that liked to bounce off the wall with out so much as a reason, not to mention she was pretty bubbly. Along with the twin guns she hand placed on her sides Carmen was an odd fit into this world, even as human as she appeared too be there wasn't anyway she could have been one of them. Pondering the thought over for a few seconds he put it on hold as Tenshi began to explain just how she had been drenched in buckets of blood in the first place, hopefully it would be a good adventure with just the blood alone to tell the tale it seemed promising.
Telling her tale Anri leaned forward and listened with great intent, he always loved a good story it always took him back to his childhood days where his father would read him the tales of hero's passed, great warriors, and about hero's that single handely saved the world from great beasts or people. Most of the stories had been shared down from generation to generation, none of them written down just pulled straight from memory as every one knew them from heart. Courage, strength, self worth, perseverance were all passed down through the epics, story's that everyone should hear to inspire one self to become more than they already are. He got the feeling as she talked that hers wouldn't be as well scripted but none the less he wanted to hear it, if not for a great story then at least he could learn more about the planet.
Describing the large winged reptilian creatures Arni rose an eye brow in question when she called the beasts dragons, though he did not know them by such a name he was aware of similar creatures that inhabited other worlds, however from the sound of it the ones on Earth weren't as big as the ones he had seen, though they sounded just a vicious. It appeared as though such a sight as a dragon here on Earth was a rare sight to behold, even though it seemed as though there was an expert in her story that knew all about them and even how to kill them... if a creature was extinct then why would someone go round killing the last of their kind? Vennor's were a violate militaristic race but they knew what happened if they didn't treat their wild life with care and respect, it didn't sound that dragons helped to keep the ecosystem in check but still to kill the last of species would insane. Even so Anri didn't mention anything of the sort even when Tenshi asked if they had any questions, shaking his head at the comment he rolled his hand in a circle as if motioning her to continue. If he did have any questions he always saved them for the end, it was like adding a commercial break in the middle of a show, he hated to have to wait for the ending while he had finally gotten into the tale.

Carmen clasped her hands behind her back and listened to the Tenshi’s tale, eyes locked on the winged woman as she spoke. Considering how shy the woman had seemed up until this point she was quite at home when recounting her adventure, perhaps it had something to do with her history in the circus. Performing for a group of people was similar to storytelling in a way, you needed to keep your audience captivated one way or another or you were never going to succeed. Of course if you audience was Carmen the task was often a simply one, the young girl captivated by almost anything that was new or foreign to her…which was most everything at this point.
From the very start the tale sounded like it was going to be an exciting one as Tenshi had come across a man apprehending an accused thief, what the man had stolen she did not know. Quite protective over the few things she owned the Makaio understood the anger a robber might bring about in his victims, she couldn’t stand people who took what was not theirs. Although she was not a fan of the authorities the pink haired girl nods her approval as Tenshi explains the man was handed over to them, made to answer for his wrong doings. Those that transgressed against others should be held accountable for their actions, and that was why she never acted in appropriately towards others. Of course this was all from her perspective because in Carmen’s mind she was always right.
The story quickly took an even more exciting turn as the angel went on to explain a dragon made an unexpected appearance. Carmen wasn’t sure what a dragon was, but it based on Tenshi’s description it was a large scaly creature that could breathe a freezing breath or fire. Right then and there the girl made a mental not to seek out a dragon at sometime in the future as well, after finding a circus of course. Man if she spent the day around this woman she was going to have a whole list of exciting things to do! It seemed after the beast had appeared Tenshi and this Brandon fellow had advanced to engage it, but before she continues the angel takes a pause.
Giving them a chance for questions, her purposely placed pause and the look she gave the both of them making it obvious, Carmen’s right arm quickly shot up into the air. Once she was called upon the gunslinger was quick to ask the question that was on her mind.
”I am sorry Tenshi, but what is a Gungnir?” The demon knew what guns where, but a gun-g-nir wasn’t something she was familiar with so it was surprisingly the only part of the wild tale that the girl had a question about.

Anri was questionless, but as soon as Tenshi stopped, Carmen's hand shot into the air.
”I am sorry Tenshi, but what is a Gungnir?”
"Oh." In the heat of the story, Tenshi had forgotten that these people didn't know anything about her, particularly not her special weapon. "Gungnir," she said, putting her hands together in fists, thumbs touching. "Is a mythological spear." She spread her hands apart, and energy formed in the shape of a shaft. "If I use a weapon, I prefer to use this." When she had finished, she held in both her hands a spear. It remained straight on one side, coming to a point, and bladed on the other. The blade curved over, creating a 'C' and came back out, this part jagged for cutting. "This isn't the real Gungnir, but I just call it that. Now where was I..." Thinking for a second, Tenshi continued.
"Right. So the dragon accepted my challenge, and then we began to fight. It seemed almost like a dance, the dragon's moves were so graceful. With flips, dodges, we made stabs and strikes at each other, hitting on occasion. Brandon must have been on the rooftops, fighting his red dragon...the one I was standing against took a good strike at me, raking against my thick-skin, and I took the opportunity to roll in, pushing Gungnir up, trying to find some sort of flesh. The spear bounced off a scale, but nicked skin on its underbelly. I followed the color and pattern of its skin from its belly to its chin, and knew where to attack. But, now that I knew where to hit, the dragon knew to be more careful, only making attempts to hit me if it knew I wouldn't be able to parry. It also started breathing out ice like crazy. We both made hits against each other, though most we dodged.
"Meanwhile on the rooftop, Brandon did something, and his wrist began glowing. I don't know how, but he managed to knock the dragon off the roof. It landed with a crash in front of me, down the street. I couldn't see Brandon, and I was distracted just long enough for the white dragon to slam its tail into me. It must have had larger scales near the tip, because when I moved my hand to my abdomen, it came back red and sticky. I had to end it soon.
"Someone shouted my name, and I looked, and it was Brandon. He had erupted out of the stomach of the red dragon, covered in gore and gib, worse than I was, with my blood mixing in with the dragon's. He ran up its back, getting to its head, and punched it. I could hear a slight crunch, and I don't think it was the dragon. Brandon looked like he was in a lot of pain. But he had distracted the beast just enough for me to thrust the point of my spear through the dragon's chin. With a twist, the point came out the top, between its two large eyes. It let out its last roar, and fell to the ground.
"Blood had rained down on me, as I let Gungnir dissipate, to roll out of the way. Brandon began to say something, but a white mist was coming out of the dragons, and they seemed to be disintegrating. The mist went into Brandon, at his chest. It was...weird. I don't really trust him, actually...but we went to the authorities to get our reward, and I said goodbye. I was on my way home when I saw the two of you, and landed here."
During her story telling, Tenshi had been making gestures and motions, swinging her spear, reenacting her fight.
