It didn't seem like he saw me or anyone in the group as he just kept roaming. Though you could tell if we got too close it would probably be the end of us. We kept our approach as quiet and slow as possible.
"Does anyone know anything about the past Greed?"
[Twilight]
"Not really, our dad told us stuff but they seem more like exaggerations."
[Lepricus]
"Like what?"
[Temti]
"Like before he joined Shiro he ran with an underground group. He was said to be the leader at one point."
[Gixoh]
"Until someone defeated him, it was also said he could take down a nation all on his own."
[Sirisa]
"I've heard that too. I also heard that we would take the bones of his defeated enemies and turn them into weapons and armor."
[Obitiga]
"What about his name?"
[Temti]
"I think it's Gavon or something."
[Obitiga]
"If I remember right he was a Night Lord."
[Rion]
"So the same class as me then, which means he'd have some range, but I don't see how stars made of bone can be more effective than metal."
[Liam]
"Yeah, I definitely don't think that one is a fact."
[Lepricus]
[The group chuckles together]
After a bit of a laugh, we realized how quiet it had suddenly gotten. Looking around it was like he had disappeared. Liam brought up it must be like the shadow skill that lets him seem invisible so we should be careful. Then as we emerged from behind a pillar there was this low-pitched growl.
We still were unable to see Gavon anywhere, so it was a bit nerve-wracking. We were all on edge that he would just pop out of the shadows like we've seen Liam do a thousand times. Knowing That I was the only chance to defeat him didn't help either.
It wasn't much to mention before as they didn't seem to be anything but puddles but then a few of us began to notice them moving.
"Did you see that?"
[Lepricus]
"See what?"
[Rion]
"That puddle just moved."
[Lepricus]
"No way."
[Temti]
"I saw it...see there it is again."
[Lepricus]
[A Gush of wind heads towards the group]
"Watch out!"
[Liam]
"Agh."
[Gixoh]
"Are you okay?"
[Sirisa, while beginning to heal Gixoh]
"Yeah, but what was that?"
[Gixoh]
"This...."
[Liam picking up what looks to be a star made of bone]
[The star decomposes into a mush-like substance]
"What the fuck!"
[Liam shaking the substance off his hand]
"What was that?"
[Twilight]
"I'm not sure but..tsh"
[Liam as his hand begins to bubble, giving off a weird smoke, and leaving him in unbearable pain]
With Gavon still popping in and out of the puddles, we were all stuck on high alert. While Sirisa and Temti were putting in as much effort as they possibly could to heal Liam. While the three of them were off trying to stay covered. We did our best to identify Gavon's location.
With the clones still popping in and out, it wasn't a simple task. After some time passed it seemed they began to increase in not just their appearance but the frequency of their attacks as well. Then they suddenly just stopped, the water in each puddle began to bubble, creating a foul odor. It reminded us of whatever was going on with Liam's arm.
"What's happening?"
[Twilight, coughing]
"I'm not sure, but this definitely can't be normal."
[Lepricus, coughing as well]
"Do we just lay..."
[Rion, as he suddenly faints]
"IS HE OKAY!?!?"
[Sirisa yells from afar]
"Rion, Wake up, Wake up!"
[Gixoh, trying his best to wake Rion up]
"I'm not sure!"
[Obitiga]
"Try to get him back over here!"
[Sirisa, as Gixoh lifts Rion to rush him over to her]
"What do you think, is this mist some kind of poison as well."
[Lepricus]
"It actually might be, I'll see if I can clear it."
[Obitiga]
As Obitiga began to try and use one of his gust-type attacks to clear the air around us, what remained of each puddle began to move. Slowly forming what looked to be like a person, Gavon we had to assume.
With the mist cleared, we were finally able to see Gavon for what he looked like. Though his coloration was off due to being a Forsaken, you could tell he was a Human, which you don't see many of at least in this part of the world. He must have been on the classier side as he dressed in fancy, but not over the top, clothing.
It began attacking us, lunging itself with what seemed to be a dagger, as well as throwing stars from a distance. Knowing how poisonous Gavons attacks were, all we could do was try to avoid them. With it now being just Obitiga, Lepricus, and me it was no easy feat to attempt but we began our onslaught. With Obitiga brushing Gavons stars aside with his wind for us not to get overlay poisoned. Lepricus and I began exchanging blow for blow with him. Eventually, as we made our final attack on Gavon we realized it was just another clone as it disappeared back into a puddle it was formed from.
"Does this mean we defeated him?"
[Lepricus]
"I'm not sure."
[Obitiga]
"I don't think so. So far all the Forsaken I've defeated have turned into this weird mist-like thing, that kind of glows."
[Twilight]
"Do you mean essence, like the one certain creatures give off after defeating them?"
[Obitiga]
"Yeah, kind of like that."
[Twilight]
"So that means it was the real Gavon we just defeated doesn't it."
[Lepricus]
"Yeah, I'm guessing the real one is hiding..."
[Obitiga]
[A Screech is heard across the hall, putting everyone on high alert.]
"Shit what was that?"
[Sirisa, as an in rage Gavon appears from behind a pillar]
"Maybe I should go back to help."
[Gixoh]
"Yeah, we'll be fine here."
[Sirisa and Temti]
"Guess we don't have to search too hard for him."
[Lepricus]
"Yeah, brace yourself."
[Twilight, as Gavon begins to charge in]
