Nicolas Presagio heaved. With his back against one of many broken structures across the desert, he held onto his abdomen in pain. Swallowing back his cero and releasing it in a second wave that doubled its size and range was taxing. Reverting out of his Ressurección, Nicolas brushed his minty locks out of his eyes and steadied his reiryoku levels, shifting around in the sand. Even after all that, he hardly had a bite. An annoyed snarl escaped his body, but it quickly silenced upon the sudden ripple of power in the air.
Turning his nose up to the sky, he inhaled deeply, and the all too familiar scent from long ago had once again resurfaced, and in aggravation at that. The scream that came with the emergence of this particular force was painfully bone-rattling, causing the already injured Esapada to cover his ears, his brows knitting together in a tired glare. For what reason had he emerged after so long? After missing the massacre that happened no longer than three centuries ago. And as quickly as he had come, he had gone silent.
Taking the chance at a small break to rise to his feet, Nicolas propped himself up against the structure and inhaled deeply through his mouth, his tongue smacking against the roof of his mouth to fix his cottonmouth. And another roar, a proclamation of ranking, and if he were half of the Arrancar he was three centuries ago, he would falter, if not perish, beneath the impending doom of the self-proclaimed king.
But he wasn’t what he used to be. Three hundred years since the massacre and Nicolas had to improve on himself. If he hadn’t, there’d have been no chance of surviving in this dog-eat-dog world; the strong will forever overpower the weak, and though at the lowest rank of the Espada line, he would advance, whether he liked it or not. Beginning his trek towards his former Espada’s scent, Nicolas had contemplated on whether or not he would escape into the human realm to eat.
It had taken long, after all, possessing little chance at sonído in his standard form, to get to the throne room, where Vincent Bautista’s scent was the strongest. Would he be remembered? More than likely, no. Would he die? More than likely, yes. Did Nicolas care? Who knew? He surely didn’t. On his way there, his attire had shifted since his clothes had gotten ruined from his previous bout. Ridding of the traditional white hakama, baggy white pants became the norm instead, with a black sash tied around his waist to hold his pants up, and black wrap around his shins to keep his pants legs in place. Other than that, nothing changed. The open-jacket style stayed, always revealing the nimble upper body the pig possessed.
Eyes turned to the throne, and there he sat, as kingly as ever. “It’s been a while, Bautista. How was your vacation?”
