A Visit to the Destroyer
Fri May 20, 2016 2:39 pm
What could one say about why the Emperor was coming to this land? Why did he journey to meet the man who did it? What drove him to come here and look upon the face of him? Was it some desire for misplaced revenge on the killer of an entire race almost? Or perhaps it was some desire for a form of closure for him? No matter how often he went to sleep at night. No matter how he toiled or tried nothing undid that day. He was there the day the Quincy spark was extinguished almost by him. The Day Radioactive purged them from the place they were at. The day Yhwach refused his council on the weapon. He'd heard rumors and conducted strategy but on this day. Yhwach would not hear of retreating or falling back to safety. What would have changed had he died that day with them? Would he of felt less bad about not trying harder to convince him? Ghislain made sure no one followed him this time to this meeting. He gave an order for the young Quincy who went to Germany to remain with them at home. This was a matter between two veterans of that war of extermination. One on the side of those being exterminated and the other doing it himself. Was he angry about it and sad about the way it went? Hell yes, he was, furious so much his blood boiled. So many innocent lives butchered just because words failed. How would he react when he saw the man who brought it about? Question after question went through his mind as he walked into the land making very sure his arrival was known. He didn't attack or give off an air of blood lust. But he was sure that man could detect a Quincy. His energy pulsed in the air as he glanced at the night sky with his cerulean eyes. It wasn't something he ever thought would happen in reality. After all, this was reality, not some dream where things were made right. It wasn't some fairy tail or some fantasy game you could fix. The reason for Ghislain Eberhart coming here was for one thing. He wanted closure for the past where he failed. To at the very least look upon the man.
He wanted to see up close the visage of Radioactive himself. Would it be like that day and would that man extinguish him as well? He didn't know what was to be expected here. His hand held out feeling snow fall into his palm he sighed softly. He could hear his wife's voice as a smile finally broke. He felt a warmth filling him again as he exhaled a breath. He'd lead a full life that was long with much to be proud of. He'd loved his wife and been the best father he could for his children. Making sure his grandchildren were given the same affection and love along the way. Was this to be his eulogy, in this Russian valley outside the city? Hard to say what would come of it all. But this was one Quincy who would find closure from this all tonight. Ghislain smiled and closed his eyes glancing upwards. Thinking to himself as he smiled faintly at the star filled skies. "My love, I may join you if our races damnable pride has anything to say about it.So I ask that you let me have it good if it does."
Mortality was something he'd accepted a long time ago. Ghislain wasn't some person who thought life was forever. He sure as hell didn't believe he was the strongest. No that wasn't a right reserved for the Emperor these days. Hulderic couldn't even lay claim to that title. The Strongest Quincy was her that much was a certainty. But whatever the outcome they came from this journey to meet the Destroyer. Ghislain would make sure of one final thing. He wouldn't go out without giving Radioactive a fight. But that was if the man wanted a battle over just a chat. The letter had been sent through the right channel. Informing Radioactive that someone survived the day he killed the Quincy. That this person would like a word with him. The letter did make it clear revenge wasn't the interest in the sender. The Emperor wanted closure for a pain that cannot be brought into words. For among those who died were family members of Ghislain. A pain unlike anything that can be fathomed.
Is when a child must bury their elders.

Uncertainty.
That was one word which could be used to describe the feelings which resonated whenever anyone brought up the word "Quincy" around this Nuclear Beast. After all, while he wasn't responsible for every single death in the war between the Shinigami and Quincy, both he and Kenpachi played a critical and major role in exterminating many Vandereich Quincy Population and general Quincy race population throughout that bloody crusade. Each of them even went as far as to crush the entity known as Yhwach himself.
So, one could assume that he would harbor nothing but animosity for the race as a whole. However, that wasn't quite accurate. While he wasn't exactly fond of them, there was a certain respect he had for those who were able to endure and survive through the odds. Hence, he took each Quincy following that war on a case by case bases. Some were deserving of his respect such as Jonathan Walker; while others could kiss the soles of his boot in the case of his disdain for Quincy "Mother" known as Nozomi.
Hence, he could assume that many of these "parental" figures of the race were nothing but agitating big-wigs whom he often had little patience for. As there was a similar feeling of distaste for the persona which was presented to him during his clash against Yhwach. And, if his senses were correct, the male that had requested his presence reeked of the same disgusting scent he encountered all those centuries ago. While Radioactive cares little for minor details, there are just some things in life you don't forget and the smell of your prey is one of them for him.
Therefore, he had already made up his mind that he was going to have to prove his worth if he requested anything grand. Henceforth, when he flew upwards towards the frigid, snowy peaks of Russia's Mount Bazardüzü; there was an aura of bitterness and antagonism felt the spiritual pressure of The Golden Haired Titan. When the seven foot eleven giant landed ten feet away from The Quincy Emperor, there was a rather stern gaze given from his lone gold eye as his brawny and scarred body tensed in anticipation for the encounter.
In fact, he didn't say anything and instead basked in the silence of the winter air as the wild winds thrashed against his loose fitted trousers; the likes of which were as black as his aversion to these Quincy "Royals". However, a long sigh would soon be heard from the male before he decided to the break tension in the atmosphere and state these words to the lone emperor:
"State your business with me, boy. I'm not quite sure what you have to gain by coming to Russia, but don't expect anything for free. I can smell the blood of Yhwach within you and it makes me sick to my stomach."
With those rancid and grouchy words snarled out of the shark toothed man's mouth, he'd soon spit on the pale white snow around them and feel a nasty taste swirling around his tongue just mentioning that man's name. Between him and Nozomi, he wasn't even quite sure who he distrusted or hated more. For now, though, the boy had better make a first impression and get straight to the point. As, obviously, his patience was very thin for this meeting.
