Ishtar was indeed impulsive and brash. Thinking far ahead was for those who had no power. She'd simply use hers whenever she felt like it. Harming the Queen of Knights, making her suffer... making her relinquish any claims she thought she had to Gilgamesh. These were the plans of Ishtar. Meanwhile, Enki thought to wager against her. He made the claim he didn't think her plan would work for whatever reason and asked why she chose that particular creature. "They are a bunch of humans and its second name is Primate Murder. It excels at killing humans. It can slay any knights it comes across and then the boy-queen. It likes to play with those it hunts and besides brings magical snow and ice," she said this as if she was certain. And she was to an extent, but she didn't watch Artoria Pendragon fight. Actually, in general she did not watch women fight there was no point... she only wanted to watch hot men get all sweaty and blood-covered. Usually blonde and normally tattooed. Something about a battle ready buff man seemed to appeal to her quite a bit.
At the same time a giant cat dropped on the grounds before Artoria as she overlooked the castle. She nearly squealed. "Eeh!~" she started before coughing. Of course, instead of anything reasonable happening the cat immediately cried bringing down snow and ice onto Camelot. Well, Camelot was used to the snow, even as it thickened none seem to mind other than fleeing into the protection of the castle walls as the Queen descended from above. Flawless as she always was, even her armored steps didn't seem to make large imprints in the snow. This was not a gift of any sort... it was an enemy. In this moment Artoria's eyes hardened just around the edges and she chose to greet the creature. She unsheathed Excalibur and felt its weight in one hand, with a bright smile on her face. "You are big, but I have seen bigger," she addressed the creature. "It is a shame. I love cats... if you would heel, I would let you live," she said. Her imposing presence weighed down for just a moment and the cat stopped. It gave its attention only to the Queen of Knights. And strangely, it didn't move to attack. That cheeky smirk was on the Queen of Knights face, she wondered if it was possible to take control of such a creature. Maybe it simply fell down from above and was scared? If that was the case, she could accept it. But... that was not it. Ishtar let out a frustrated sigh. "You cannot take it from me. KILL HER!" that was an order from its master and the aura around the cat became ominous connected to the demands of its rider. Artoria sighed knowing she was going to have to kill a creature she would have loved not by its own volition. "Making me kill a cat, is going to make me murder someone... I am sorry your master sent you to me." she said with Excalibur still drawn. "Come old friend, we dance like the first time tonight," she said as the battle would ensue.
While Artoria fought Cath Palug, Merlin and the Fairy of the Lake, were experiencing ecstasy. Ah that was nice. So nice. Yes... she could do this. And what was this? Merlin claimed that such an ending would have been worth waiting a thousand years for? 'Hm, I could make you wait eternity and never touch you again...' Vivian's thoughts were almost vengeful now. She'd almost come to terms with leaving this man here. Of course, he would ask her for something as selfish as a kiss. They kissed a lot leading up to this, but she supposed granting the last wish of a man like this would be well worthwhile. Vivian's expression softened immediately as she looked down her body into this man's face. He really was gorgeous. It was always the case that she enjoyed looking at him. She leaned down and into him. "I suppose given all of this day, I can allow a single instance of selfishness from you, Merlin," she spoke with a small smirk before pressing their lips together. She would miss this. She would hate him! What kind of kiss did he want? She'd let him lead this once... it wasn't often the choice of such an endeavor fell to the one doing the feeding.
