Someone cutting onions?

After another few days of relaxing with the sisters and seeing Queliina's condition steadily improve Reima and Solaire decide it's time they get moving again, much to the dismay of Quelaag who doesn't seem to want to let them go.

Quelaag "Surely you can't believe that linking the flame is the correct course of action?"

Reima shrugs "I don't intend to link the flame, but I will slay Gwyn, not just for his soul but for what he's done to humanity."

Solaire takes his time to respond "I'll decide once I've accomplished my goal."

Quelaag looks rather downtrodden, she knows what would happen to them if they managed to light it, even discounting the huge trials ahead of them.

Reima "Don't worry, We'll visit... I'm able to teleport to anyplace I've been before." he winks at her.

She looks taken aback that such sorcery exists, "Truly? Then you must visit as often as you can!"

Eingyi "Indeed, losing such an ally would be hard on the Fair lady!" His words remind Reima that he almost forgot to say goodbye.

He walks up to Queliina and holds her hand gently causing her to smile, "Brother"

Reima "Hey sis, I need to leave for a while..." She squeezes his hand tightly when he says this.

"Not for long, I just have a couple thing I need to do. Look after your sister for me? You know how she gets when left on her own." Queliina's frown upturns slightly as she nods.

After saying goodbye to them Solaire grabs his arm as Reima teleports them straight to the building outside of sens fortress.

Solaire "I have a question... Why did we not attempt to defeat the witch of Izalith? Surely it was the easier lord soul to acquire?"

Reima shakes his head, "I'd need to learn some Sorcery to actually have a chance at beating the sisters brother, ceaseless discharge. While I have some pyromancies now, they wouldn't do much verses a literal pile of living lava."

Solaire "Then why not stop by Firelink for that sorcerer to teach you, Griggs I think his name was?"

Reima "Because his master is being held prisoner in this fortress, if I'm going to be taught, I want it to be from the best."

Solaire nods in understanding "Ah, you truly have this all played out my friend!"

They don't bother visiting Andre the blacksmith and instead head straight towards the fortress who's gate had been lifted due to the ringing of the bells of awakening.

They enter the massive entrance and are immediately assaulted by a duo of snake men? They have emaciated figures like most other hollows but have very long necks with a snakes head replacing their human one... Could they have been one of Seath's experiments? They carry curved swords you'd see in ancient Egypt and small bucklers. They charge at them and accidentally trigger one of the many traps of the fortress and are immediately peppered with poison darts... Either they are extremely stupid or have already gone hollow?

The poison doesn't seem to effect them as they start swinging their blades at the two undead, Reima decides this is a great chance to finally use pyromancy on something and casts combustion on one of them, the searing heat immediately causes third degree burns and makes it fallback wards before writhing in pain. Effective, he muses to himself as he uses Quelaag's self made spell, Chaos blade. He runs his pyromancy flames down Arcell causing it to ignite in Dark red flames, luckily for him, the heat doesn't seem to effect it's caster and he performs a test slash at the snake man who lets out a pained hiss? scream? Either way Reima finishes it off with a stab to the face.

He turns to see Solaire had already killed his foe and was watching him, "Had enough fun yet my friend?" Reima grins and nods, "Just testing out the results of my training."

Solaire "You've become quite adept at controlling fire, It makes me wish I'd taken up my own flame, perhaps that's the way forward to acquiring my own sun?" He muses more to himself then anything.

Reima "If you want to learn I'm sure Eingyi and Quelaag would be more than happy to teach you, Perhaps I'd be willing to start you off with my own flame?" He questions, while he and Solaire are good friends he doesn't think he could do something so intimate as casually as Laurentius did for him.

Solaire "Your offer is enticing but I wish to think something like this over a bit longer... Using something other than Miracles is a big decision for me..." He mutters the last bit but Reima picks it up regardless.

Reima "Cheer up, we've still got a fortress to conquer!" He slaps him on the arm before walking into the dark room.

Solaire runs to keep up with his jolly companion.

Reima walks forwards while thinking that he'd forgotten something? He runs idea through his mind while making noises to jog his memory. "Hmmmm... mmmmph, hmmmmm.... Oh shit, I complete forgot about the Onion bro, Siegmeyer!", Hopefully he's alright... It would be regretful if such a... Interesting person, were to fall.
