[OPEN] I detest weaknesses
Who: Miyako Hotsuin (capitalbackup) and you!
When: Backdated to March 14th, 13th Hour.
Where: Sagittarius district.
Summary: After being caught off guard by a monster, Miyako awakened her Persona.
Warnings: Fighting monsters and usual Hotsuin issues.
Miyako Hotsuin disliked weakness. By extension of that, she also dislike—no, hate being weak.
But for all of her skills with the sword, as well as her control over her spiritual and magical powers, she’s becoming more and more aware of her weaknesses. She knew and acknowledged her poor social skills and tact. Miyako was also aware that she’s not a very likeable person to some people. She acknowledged and accepted those.
What she did acknowledge and believe in was her own strength. When it comes to the skill with a sword, Miyako’s vastly superior to Yamato. It’s both a fact and something she secretly take pride in. It’s one of the reasons why, without the shackles of pretending to be her brother, she can easily stay at the top in a meritocracy. Losing to anyone shouldn’t be an option to her.
But she lost not only once, but twice.
Miyako had mostly calmed down since her loss against Hibiki Kuze’s group. When she can calmly (in other word, not being angry again at Yamato and Alcor) analyse that battle, she could see how they won. She could see, but it didn’t meant she have to like it. It’s only what happened afterwards that soured her feelings about her defeat.
But she had calm down and forced herself to ignore it. It’s not normal or healthy, but she don’t want to dwell on it too much.
All was well, even after Yamato’s return from a tower and she left him alone. He didn’t want to talk about it, she will leave it be.
It’s when she lost the duel against Mordred Pendragon that something in her snapped. Fortunately, she didn’t lash out to Mordred immediately after she lost. But it didn’t change the fact that in a duel with swords, without the help of any magic or her demons, fighting with just their skills, she lost.
She lost.
With the skills she took pride in, the same skills that made her stand on her own from Yamato’s shadow, she...lost. It’s more than enough for her to continue her nightly training, but her approach was more agitated and almost reckless. Several times, she forced herself to calm down and remember the discipline in the way of the sword.
Tonight, she’s going out again to train. So she can be strong enough to defeat Mordred Pendragon and avenge her loss. So she can be worthy again to uphold her ideal. So she can stop feeling so utterly pathetic about herself...!
[SAGITTARIUS DISTRICT]
Tonight was just another night of training. Go to Sagittarius, defeat whatever monsters in her way and return back to her apartment in Pisces. If she’s forced to, she would summon her demons as support. But Miyako would try to fight as long as she can without her demons, as a personal test towards herself.
The night went well. After a single trip, she was heading back when she noticed her movement’s growing slower. What the--?
That’s when a large skeletonal monster came out of the shadows and struck her with its bony limbs. Because of the Slow spell it cast on her earlier, Miyako’s reaction was slower than normal and was unable to dodge.
“Ghk--!”
The blow knocked her back a fair distance and her body fell to the ground from the hit. Unfortunately, her katana was also knocked out of her hand. When Miyako no longer feel the familiar weight and the handle’s shape in her hand, she started...panicking and forced herself up, reaching for her phone quickly. As she did, the monster moved very quickly after her. No, she can’t summon in time at this rate--! A lapse in judgement, not being good enough, not being strong enough and now she’s going to die…?!
No!
“Get away!” A single word came to her mind, whispered by a voice she didn’t recognise. But instinctively knew was her ally. “Chamunda!”
Her Persona materialised in front of her, and then Miyako just knew what it—she can use. A Persona that primarily provide support, but it’s not entirely defenceless. The goddess raised her arms and took the brunt of the Abaddon’s tackle, protecting Miyako and giving her a moment to move away. At this close distance, there’s no way the Abaddon can avoid her Magna spell, which was enough to distract it.
With the fighting and noises going on, it’s bound to catch someone’s attention and lead them to see a girl forcing herself to stand and a woman—her Persona—summoned out. Oh, and a large skeletonal monster staring down at them.
Lend a hand?
