Apex Built For One[Amaranta, Safira]

What else did this realm offer her at this point? Of all the various questions she posed, this one proved far more reoccurring than the others. There was this arena, a location she now stood in the middle of as she gazed at the barren sky.

However, it seemed to be an exercise in futility since no opponent worth their weight in gold commonly occupied her presence here, to say nothing of the destruction it experienced every time she reconstructed it from scratch. She might as well be rebuilding a sandcastle at this point.

And yet, here she was, persistent as always. Of course, this time she brought company. There were a few arrancars who were infatuated with the Lioness and offered to assist her free of charge. Whatever. It meant she didn't have to engage in this tireless manual labor as she observed them in thoughtful silence.

"What do we have here?"

The bronze woman's gaze swept toward the immense source of spiritual pressure in the skies above. The nearby arrancar suddenly fell to the ground, clearly intimidated and overwhelmed with fear. Heedless was befitting her natural disposition, Amaranta crossed her arms as she called out to the woman with a grin. There was perhaps some small familiarity with the woman, but as far as she was concerned since she couldn't pinpoint it, it probably wasn't something worth retaining in memory. Of course, with her interest piqued as it was now, she certainly had every intention of unraveling the woman's purpose in being here.

"Enjoying the view, Lady? Don't be a stranger. What with all this spiritual pressure weighing down on us, I must admit you've caught my eye. What brings you here?"
