Sorry Arunue, it's done now.

Then Riv remembered something, "Hey!" he said with hope, "Odin is still alive! Maybe he could tell us how to contact my brother and Katea in Yggdrasil!" (OCC: That is its actuall spelling.) Everyone stood up and looked at Riv, "Well, what are we waiting for!?! Let's go find him!" Though Asunan's outburst reflected what was in the hearts of the other two, their minds instantly told them that it wouldn't be that easy. Riv smirked at their sudden joy, then sorrow, "Aren't you forgetting something?" The others looked at him in puzzlement, Riv continued, "I recently unlocked some of the hidden powers that Lemaria posesses, and can you guess what one of them is?" The others expressed that they did not, "A mental global positioning system," he paused as the silence grew deeper, "that means that I can find out exactly where I am in relationship to exactly where I want to be, I can find Odin in just a minute if we have the time." Instead of an answer, Riv got two greatful hugs simultaneously from Celestia and Asunan that immediately toppled him over. Riv stood up slowly, he felt like he had been hit by an over zealous train, the other two helped him up, "We can go to Yggdrasil after all!" Celestia said as Riv sat down on one of the beds in the room. "We have hope is what we have," said Riv as he rubbed his aft end, getting one of his "wisdom" moods, "now are we gonna do this, or just sit here talking for another hour like those Japanese cartoons?" As if wanting to add a bit of comedy, Asunan thrust out her hand in a peace sign and said in a cute little voice, "Yeah! Let's go get him!" Riv took Lemaria from its sheath. One minute later, the group headed east on the four legged Lemaria transport and hoped that Riv was really as confident as he sounded.

On the peak of the highest mountain in the densest forest on the new Earth sat Riv, kneeling next to a long rectangular patch of recently dug up dirt. Riv sat crying over this hole, and its occupant was six feet under the peaceful grass of the hill. The tall rectangular rock, cut by Lemaria into this unnatural shape, below the charred image of a cross, peace symbol and a flame, were enscribed the words "Here lies Rein, the resourceful god of fire and peace through war." Riv wiped his eyes and stood above his brother's grave, bowed low, and walked away, wanting to look back, yet knowing he couldn't let himself. He then, promptly, allowed himself a slight backward glance to say, "Rest in peace, brother, I will try to control my anger as you had tried to tell me... goodbye Rein." Just then he lost control of himself and dropped to the ground from grief, and lemaria came out of its bindings on his waist and fell to the ground. In that instant, he was Izzy again. "What the--?" he said, looking at his black and red coat and clothes with confusion, then he had a revelation, "The sword!" Izzy picked up Lemaria and was instantly Riv, white clothes and all, "Well, I guess I've got to not do that again." Riv walked halfway to the sunset, glanced back once more, this time with some confusion, and leapt into the sky, headed towards the the strongest life signal from his friends, which happened to be a hotel on the eastern seaboard of the most populated country on the planet, Finalga, the new Earth's equivalent of the US, and in its most crowded city, New Optik. OCC: Implying Nefertimon's group.

OCC: Not yet you don't! I want like 2 or 3 more pages before we do that, we should have the final book be larger than the other two. Also, Box, please PM me your idea for the ending. Better yet, PM it to everyone and ask them what they think about it, you need to get some of our opinions before you go and end the story blindly, okay? IC: Riv stood on the beach on the other side of the acidic, alien ocean, supporting his brother who was still out cold and keeping him on his feet, while it was all his mind could do to support [i]it[/i]self. OCC: God that was short, sry it was, I'm pressed for time here.

Riv and Yeix/Rein were not taken, the part of Yeix's brain that was in control of Rein's body (Rein himself) had taken the precaution of casting a divine spell on himself and his brother called Random. Random had kept Rein and Riv constantly out of the line of fire yet not away from each other, every time that a Hawk copy found them, they would instantly poof somewhere else and kill the Hawk copy before it had a chance to telepathically tell Hawk that it had found them. It worked very well and had kept Yeix and Riv away from Hawk constantly, yet the consciousness within Yeix didn't stay, since it had almost fallen out of Yeix's mind completely, after a few such jumps, Rein's consciousness slipped until it could hold on no longer and was left in the dust next to the corpse of a Hawk copy. On a silvery beach on the planet Hida in the Tiezek galaxy of an unknown dimension in a completely different universe from our own, 890 million light years (89 light decades), a dimension and a universe from the recreated Realm of Reality. A furry off-white creature about the size of a small butte and as hard as a bowl of hot seven grain breakfast cereal squirmed over to the beach on the end of it's journey to it's Summer vacation home. Its kind did not call the season Summer in fact, they called it Zalfartikonubratizpop in the same time as humans can say the first syllable of Summer, but that is completely irrelevant to the fact that this particular butte sized furry creature found the two beings sitting in the silver-glinting sand, picked them up and hurled them across the ocean for no apparent reason. The unconscious Riv and the soul-less body of Rein/Yeix flew out across the greenish orange acid that filled the sea of Hida. Their trajectory began to lower them closer to the sea, until they both skimmed along the acidic sea. Riv immediately woke up with a resounding, "[CENSORED]", and started scratching the rest of the sticky acid off the grass stained white jacket on his back. Once that was accomplished, if there had been some human watching this scene, all humor would have gone out of it in the blink of an eye. Riv saw his brother, beginning to have a greenish orange tint itself, the body of Rein floated to the bottom of the alien sea, and would be separate cells then atoms before it reached the bottom. Riv saw this and immediately yelled, "Rein!" sadness wrenching his whole body into its cold, blue depths. Then love for his brother came and took Riv's consciousness out of the mind numbing sadness, dried it off, and set it back in it's rightful place. The effects of all this metaphoric imagery was that Riv stood in the air, with tears in his eyes, shook himself and zipped down to where his brother was sinking. Riv's tears became more than emotional as he submerged himself into the burning sea, he grabbed his brother and yanked him to the surface. OCC: Hmmm, I am both funny and a master of emotions.

Chunks of the earth, trees and miscellneous debris came flying from the riverside quaint hill country that Riv was completely and utterly destroying. He was almost completely controlled by his anger, but not so utterly that he couldn't give himself enough control to leave Lemaria sheathed. A scream seemed to pass the river as a tree was hurtled from off it's east bank. The tree landed miles off the coast of Yetresua Bay, on the other side of the planet. Riv had exploded out of the spot in the ocean where Krii had been, had searched for places to let out his anger, given up and used his last resort, he realm warped to new-Alfheim. Riv had no thoughts in his head other than the one that said that he should keep destroying until his anger was gone. The one that said that that would take weeks had been swallowed up in the gargantuan yelling of the other, and had given up. A red dot emerged from behind a rather large hill, miles away, and Riv immediately darted toward it. Then the dot came running toward him, the dot had suddenly developed legs, then a head, arms and then hair, and as Riv came closer to it, it was revealed to be Rein (Riv still thought of Yeix as his elder brother, even though Rein was only 15% in control of him) "Riv!" Yeix yelled from still a mile or so away, "This madness must stop! What will you prove? What will you accomplish?" Riv didn't answer, but increased his speed. There was a sonic boom to be heard when the two collided. The two fought, and almost immediately had gotten into a hand-locked position and were desperately trying to get out of it while trying to keep the other balked so that he could knock the other out. Rein was the one that succeeded in doing this, and Riv sat, calmly on the ground, eyes closed, breathing calmly. "Wow, that went fast," said Rein to himself, "I guess I am truly stronger than he is, but then again he might just be held back because of his anger. I guess I might never know." Then he thought about the chaos that everything had succumbed to, "Why has all this happened, what is the reasoning for such confusion. That is something that I should know, but most likely won't discover until the moment before my life ends." He had meant it as a joke, but had he known that he was absolutely right, and that time was to come sooner than he would have thought, he wouldn't have even thought it.

You should ask Box Hoy to confess, he's said himself (in real life) that he is.

Celestia sat there for a while, the two couples of Garren and Arunue, and Toshi and Veil were settling into comfortable cuddling, Symoni and Mereduin were fast asleep, and Kieko and Rayne were long gone. But no one knew, noticed, or cared that Yeix was gone. They didn't notice nor care either that the ground was slightly rumbling and that there was a slashing noise coming from the east. The noise and the rumbling was being caused, of course, by Yeix, out of Rein's insatiable desire for training. Yeix leaped above the trees, did a flip and landed on the ground with nothing but his index finger, spun, whacked around a few trees with his feet, came up and drew his sword. Yeix ran through the foliage, slicing one and sometimes two trees at a time, cleanly and efficiently. He was also thinking. [i]Why can't I come back?[/i] the little voice in his head asked no one, [i]I thought that if I wanted to and did the right things that I could come into full control. But I seem to be like a ghost posessing my own mind, only half controlling myself, letting my instincts do the rest. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I CAN'T EVEN TELL MY FRIENDS WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME![/i] his thoughts were interrupted by his attention being called to a small villiage to the northeast, because someone who could help him was in it. Rein ran to see his relative, the now un-allfather, Odin. He ran instead of taking flight because he was still training himself.

Yet again, Rimnil came from behind the treeline, his body slinking on the ground and leaving a giant trail of slime on the forest floor. He lifted his hand, and more creatures than before came out from the trees, his army. Trolls, leviathans, warlocks, evil wizards, witches, hydras, goblins, harpies, dragons, black unicorns, and many, many more. Rayne ran straight into the mass of the army, killing random beings with random attacks, as his logic told him he should. "Come on!" he yelled at the others, "Help me!" Yeix shook his head, then said back, since it wasn't loud enough for him to need to yell, "They'll just keep dividing. We need to find a way to destroy kill them without physically damaging them!" he started to yell at the end because a almost deafening roar came upon all them, the army was plugging their ears, as were Veil, Kieko, Symoni and Arunue, and Rayne and Yeix were trying to ignore it and find its source. But Rimnil and Hawk were looking to the sky directly above them, and Toshi came down on Rimnil, killing him on impact from the shockwave. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Riv landed on the rocky shore of the island. There was a cliff about fifteen paces into the beach and nothing to help Riv get up it other than to climb. Riv climbed. When he was standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the battered old ruins of the villiage he said only one thing, "Krii." No one was in the villiage of Krii, at least no one he could see. He felt presences everywhere he went in the villiage, scared, frustrated, or angry. Always one, never a combination of the three. He went to the old two story building that used to be his home, then to the old shack by the main entrance to the villiage. He went inside, sensing more powerful presences inside. As soon as he was inside the shack, he saw seven men, dressed in white tunics, all old and bearded, ghostly looking in the little light that the four torches put into the small, wicker walled room. Their eyes were closed, their mouths were shut, and Riv sat down among their ranks. The man in the middle, the oldest of them all, was the first to speak, "You wish to know what we cannot tell you, leave now or you will die." Riv shook his head, "You gave me Lemaria, why can't you tell me?" he said, not angry, just asking. "We are not the ones who created the sword, only Odin knows, and he is long dead. I say this for your own good, leave now or you will die." "NO!!!" now Riv was angry, "I want to know! You're supposed to be wisemen! You have access to the spiritual resources the same as the allfather did. You can access his knowledge and tell me. SO TELL ME!" before the old man could speak, Riv went on, "Why do I have all these questions inside my head? Why have I come here? How and why did Lemaria spring to life on its own and kill Esdad?" Riv stopped, because as soon as he said "Esdad" all the wisemen looked straight at him and spoke to him as one, "Esdad cannot be killed, he is truly immortal, what you say is either a lie or an illusion." Riv was annoyed, "IF YOU CAN'T TELL ME THEN YOU'RE USELESS!!" Lemaria came to life again and started attacking the wisemen, they leapt into the air and were semitransparent, ghosts. Lemaria formed spears and ran them through, then sliced them into bits. Their spirits were destroyed. The sliced bits faded away and so did the room, then the other presences... then the island.

When Arunue thought back to it when she was on her way to Toshi, going through the space time continuum so that she would get to Toshi in no time at all as far as anyone else was concerned, had no idea how after Riv had destroyed him and she had seen his dead face, Esdad had walked out of the white blankness of Yggdrasil again, right beside his dead body. For Arunue, this would give her an hour to think about it while the rest of the confusion of infinite infinities (let's just call it the WGMM (whole general mish mash) for now) slipped through the smallest fraction of the smallest decimal amount of the smallest amount of time you can think of. OCC: Sry so short, work in 1hr. gee, I wish I could be doing the same thing as Arunue right now... THEN I WOULDN'T BE LATE!

Here's an unedited version of how it's gone so far, please don't fix the problem with how Esdad is still alive after Riv destroyed him, I'm gonna fix it. You can say that it was a weird thing etc. but that's it. I'm gonna fix it later.

Could you send me the edited version please?

OCC: TIMMAH!! I just had to say that some time. Riv had, all this time, withheld from using Lemaria's special powers. Staying a swordsman was not the best idea in this situation and he hoped no one would notice, Lemaria needed to recover from the fight with Hawk and regain it's strength. Yet just then, Lemaria sprung to life all it's own and started using it's light without any mental command from Riv, the light leapt from the tip and separated into three tentacles that swished around in the air and caught the hooded figure with two of their number, the third separating into two and running them through multiple times. Riv looked up to see his face, then almost flung himself away from the person. The light dropped him, dead, and Riv stood, white faced and staring. "That was a little gruesome don't you think?" said Veil to him. "I didn't do it," said Riv, a scared tone creeping into his voice, "I did nothing," "But-" "Lemaria did it on her own," "It's a her now?" "Yes, now I know why she has that name, I just released her spirit from chains that bound her to my control, and she did it all her own. Now I know why the wisemen gave me Lemaria, they knew what danger they were in way before Rimnil attacked my villiage so long ago, they planned ahead everything that would happen. I don't know why or how, but... nevermind. I went on about it and it's not that big a deal." "But-" "I SAID NEVERMIND!" Riv then used Lemaria once again to lift him into the air and carry him with four legs of light away from the group. Yeix flew out after him, and many of the rest were very confused. "What just happened?" Kieko asked to no one in particular, Toshi was probably the only one who fully knew what was going on, "He just needs some time to think." "We do as well," Rayne said, a serious tone in his voice, "But not as much as Riv may, I sense that Hawk and the duo of Uni and Ios are regenerating as we speak." "We need to figure out a plan of action," said Hiroshi decisively, "How can we destroy Hawk for good? And how do we go about doing so? Those are two questions that Riv probably wanted us to assimilate and think about in his temporary defeat of Hawk." "But who is this?" But before Symoni could look at the face of the man, they were back in the forest, and Toshi and Arunue were still gone. * * * * * * * * * * Riv flew over the northern sea and exceeded speeds of 250 mph trying to find anywhere that looked familiar, and of course there was none. He had lost Yeix a while due to his speed, he had probably already gone back. [i]What is this?[/i] Riv thought [i]Where? Where is it? What am I looking for? I don't even know. But I'm still looking for it. Why am I looking for it? But- THERE![/i] He stopped on a dime, creating a few more light-legs to do so and turned east to go inland to the villiage that he thought would never come back, yet had. OCC: The villiage is his home of Krii if anyone wants to extend it, remember though that it's in ruins.

I found it. [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=36424][color=red]Here's[/color][/url] the link to it.

"I've met fate once," said Riv, "All three of them, in fact, and they said that with Lemaria came the power to avoid them, I can make my own fate when I'm concentrating, and that is exactly what I intend to do." Hawk, standing, one arm cut off, seemed intimidating to everyone, and Riv knew that this would be a long and tough battle, and that they would have to try some old tricks if they wanted to win, tricks that hadn't work before but had to work now. They just had to. He knew that Lemaria would get exhausted of it's power after a while of interaction with a nonexistent being for this long, and he had to find a way to transfer power from somewhere else so that he could give them some time to think about what they were going to do. He swung Lemaria around, not saying anything, forming a giant wrecking ball of light on a collision course with Hawk who, of course, evaded. That was what Riv wanted. He formed the Light into a thin blade and cut right through Hawk. Hawk split in two, and fell to the ground. Riv rushed to him and cut him up until he was unrecognizable. "That should keep him out of our way for a while," Riv said to himself, "it'll take him a while to heal from that much damage." Suddenly, Riv noticed a more familiar energy signal in the near forest. "Rimnil," Riv growled. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Arunue hovered in the air for a while, trying to asses their problems from a bird's eye view. [i]As it seems, the army can't be destroyed because their source of power is Rimnil, and Rimnil can't be killed either, for a likely different reason.[/i] It was hopeless. Then Riv came into the clearing, Lemaria sheathed. He turned to Rimnil and unsheathed Lemaria. [i]Then again[/i] Gaitei, Hiroshi, Kieko, Symoni, and Yeix had joined Toshi and Rayne in fighting back the army and could only take a few glances at what Arunue could only stare at. Riv didn't even use Lemaria's light for this - an old fashioned physical sword attack. He leaped into the air to almost as high as Arunue was floating, Lemaria facing down. With one stroke it seemed, Rimnil became decorated with the nicest, reddest, gridlines that you might have ever seen on a 3D wireframe model. Rimnil fell, in twenty thousand perfectly shaped cubes. And all this happened in about, 10 seconds.
