「380 - City of Kings, Auf-Graundas, Halja」Pregame action I didn't get to last round
Tail raised high, Aipiskaupus focussed on the Haljans before him. Raising his pincers in a threatening motion he pointed a clawed hand at each of the four females before him as they sidestepped around him for a better position. Swaying in time with the strikes of the hammers on Krystals he gripped his scythe and watched as another female joined the circle.
It would seem I am not handsome enough to attract many... but I suppose Virux has given me enough to begin with.

SCHHHNGG!

The largest of the Haljan females falls to the floor, her head rolling toward Aipiskaupus' feet as the remaining females took a step back and lowered their pincers.

Pathetic. She moved so early with such little preparation. She could have been a good mate...

A sharp pain bites into one of his front legs as one of the females playfully nipped at him, barely leaping out of his reach in time. The rest of the females swayed enthusiastically as two more joined them. Raising both eyebrows Aipiskaupus readies his scythe and tries to keep all the females in his vision. After a few short exchanges of blows where Aipiskaupus remained untouched for the most part he lowers his tail slightly and clicks his pincers twice.

The Haljan females pounced.

「392 - Throthjans Hailjan, Auf-Graundas, Halja」
Aipiskaupus Thuidans Kaiser looked reverently around himself at the superb architecture long before the official opening of the Throthjans Hailjan was to commence. Though it had taken many years to establish the academic side of it, it had taken much longer to build the building which would contain such noble work. He felt small as the clicking of his footsteps echoed through the large, arched hallways. Beyond the columns were several carved doors standing higher than twice his height. Were he to look up, the Kaiser would see the balcony where those on the second story may look down upon whatever the hall may be used for currently. Looking toward the end of the hallway, Aipiskaupus marvelled at the incredibly rare glass and the intricate patterns and colours which made up the windows.

Indeed, Throthjans Hailjan was a great achievement and would serve Halja well for many years to come.

「393 - The first cathedral of Laiks Riqis, just south of Axion, Halja」
Though it had taken years to reach this stage, the cathedral was still a smooth, flat block of Darkstone in the centre of Halja. A few deep grey stones were arranged as though the entire thing were merely a large building plan rather than the beginnings of a building itself. Bokareis Thuidans surveyed the large empty cavern surrounding the cathedral. Though it was so far from civilization, this cathedral would become the central point for Laiks Riqis. Adjusting his stole with the Six Names and looking toward the Sky, he thinks of Stellyx in particular, may he provide a clear path as the Deity of Destiny.

「394 - Eisswaggs, Halja」
Apiskaupus Thuidans Kaiser looks out across Eisswaggs from the newly completed Niskovian Embassy upon the seething mass of black. From this distance he could not see, but he knew each female hand held a scythe or composite bow. Turning his back on the army, he raises an eyebrow at a Niskan who happened to be passing by.

It would seem the Niskans wasted no time here. How efficient.
