RPG The End Of The World As We Know it

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Death Knight[/b]: If we can ressurect Skye... She's the one that holds the chain around Satan's neck, if alive.. Damn it.

Death Knight was off alone, talking to himself, feeling the Sigul's slowly drop like flies. The imagination of the knight drifted to what would happen if Satan escaped Hell. It would be a grand fight, to say the least. He knew that he had to talk to Jehovah God right away.

[b]Death Knight[/b]: King Ducal, You passed away so long ago! But your elite troops that slayed the mythical monsters of old with me, I shall bring back to stop these demons. They slayed Dragons, Elves, Dwarfs and Darkbreeds with me. They are strong enough to contend with them!

Death Knight raised his fist and nodded silently to himself. The Ducal Royal Army would return, if God helped him. Death Knight silently considered how to go about asking God what to do... [/color]

[Chaos]

[i]Medra looked at the cute, mute Dragouet with an errie, uncaring stare. She looked young, but Medra was not so fooled by appearances. He could feel that she carried with her not only a sleek and powerful body, but a strong flow of mana..something the Demon God had not felt in a millenium. It was indeed impressive.[/i]

[b]Medra:[/b] "To honor your lovely home here, I will do as per requested; you require something, I will do what it within my power to help you fulfill your goals. Should it be to meet your power, the so be it. I am but a guest at your house."

[i]It was at this time that Simikiel, wrapped up in deep thought, made a careful observation of Medra. While the Demon God of the Night Skies was heartless and cruel in battle, outside of the duel, he was silent, almost calm. To an extent, even kind. Maybe the stories were true. Maybe light did exist in the endless dark...[/i]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She moved slowly....tail balancing her movements.....the waterfalls quick flow suddenly slowed down to almost nothing. Time seemed to stop all together. With a quick leap, she landed in the center of the water, standing still. Feet planted easily on the surface, she dug in slightly....talons sinking slightly. The wind that had once whipped through the area had stopped....and everything was quiet.

The slowly.....Tarlain brought both her hands forward, palms facing out, fingers spread wide. Then her lips moved, forming the words of the long forgotten spell.

"Tantalar."

With each word spoken, in the tounge of the long dead Dragourets, something changed in the water.

"Uthwine."

It was both a sense of color, and appearence.

"Effratha."

The liquid seemed to become thicker, more solid than ever.

"Gorjeona."

Then the final incantation was spoken, and the water shattered like a mirror.

"Ochkik Haddah, Lord of Nightmares. Come to my side."

She sank into the water, slowly, softly....like a child falling asleep. Within moments, Tarlain had disapeared completely. Then, without warning, she reapered, screaming and convulsing. Her body rippled with energy, claws sliding in and out of her fingers, uncontrolled. Her wings flexed and twisted spasmatically. Wild. Unreal. Then she threw back her head and roared.

He appeared. Huge. Face of a lion, mane of flames. Body of a man, hands of a bear. With a gentle motion, he touched her shoulder, and she calmed herself. The energy required was suffused into the air, and everything went back to normal. Ochkik Haddah smiled sardonically. He was arrogant, but could afford to be so.[/i][/COLOr]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Death Knight[/b]: ... I'll just... wait.

Death Knight looked back to see he had wandered a good mile away from the rest of the group. He shook his head and slowly made his way back, his steel battle boots making large tracks in the ground as he went. His Aura was flashing on and off, the grass around him blowing slowly as his mind wandered to the future, and what was to become of the Earth..

Zelfoh was sitting ontop of a treebranch, her long hair tied in a single braid behind her head. She had her spear in her lap, a dark green glow eminating from the tip of the blade as she listened intently to the conversation going on. She had heard what Medra said, and thought about it for a few minutes.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: Ah Medra. You're in a good mood. I enjoy it when you are in a good mood.

She tilted her head to the side with a small grin on her face, and glanced at him, makeing sure he didnt notice her. He was with Tarlain, who had just brought Haddah out... Zelfoh went back to staring into the forest, trying to track Celetine's journey..

.. And Death Knight slowly walked up, his flickering aura dancing around him slowly. It ceased suddenly, as he stopped, and sat down, leaning against the very tree Zelfoh was on.

[b]Death Knight[/b]: ... We need to act...

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: How?

[b]Death Knight[/b]: ... Rip off their wings... Behead them... Make them bleed intill they are as dry as parched ground... Anything but sitting here and talking... We're warriors... We're strategist... We're the future...

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: You know you have my magic and spear to support you, Father.

[b]Death Knight[/b]: Yes. You are a good young woman. I raised you well.

Zelfoh smiled a bit, and Death Knight slowly drifted into silence, his red eyes bleeding as his anger increased at sitting around doing nothing, the blood slowly dripping onto the ground..[/color]

[Chaos]

[i]Medra's face was still one of apathy, but his neck twitched slightly, making his head cock to the right. The form of this beast, this Lord of Nightmares, was gruesome, yet somehow calming. Perfectly fitting for something of his magnitude of power, pondered Medra. Things of great importance often came in simplier than needed packages.

Walking closer with a certain swagger that showed that he was aware of Haddah, but not afraid of him. There was but one thing that Medra feared, and not once had he encountered it, and hopefully, he would not ever encounter it...personally, that is.

Stopping at the lake's edge, Medra resisted his urge to take flight away from it's clear, crisp surface and body. Electricity doesn't mix too well with water, as we all know, but Medra still managed against his barest of instincts.

Haddah spoke in a voice that was omnipresent yet nowhere at once. It was loud but still soft, like a mother cooing her baby to sleep. It was booming, as well as barely audible. When this creature spoke, it spoke with it's mind, rather it's animalistic tounge.[/i]

[b]Ochkik Haddah"[/b] [i]"Why do you request my attendance, demon, if you do not have an offering to make?"[/i]

[b]Medra:[/b] "Merely, I wished only an audience with you. For lo, I aim to take out that vile beast Lucifer and replace it with a true power; my own. But in order to do so, I require certain...'facts'...of that part of the underworld that barely anyone has known before and not lost sanity. As said before, I merely ask for an audience."

[b]Ochkik Haddah:[/b] [i]"Very well. I hope you are as strong-willed as proclaimed, demon, or your fears will create a prison for your mind for all time to haunt you, lest you lose what sanity you have left."[/i]

[b]Medra:[/b] "You of all beings should know I fear nothing...except for one emotion, of which that Hellhole holds none of. Do your damnest to try and find a foothold, creature, for I will not bend my knee to you like a simple-minded human, or a brainless demon. I am necromatic evolution at it's finest, I am the Perfect Evil. I am designed to destroy the one thing I fear. Do your magic, beast, so that I may one day have the chance to pay you back..."

[b]Ochkik Haddah:[/b] [i]"Very well. Pepare for a view of Hell which you never imagined, in where the word "suffering" is considered bragging rights..in which death is life, and pain is food. Prepare for the House of your Enemy..."[/i]

[Flash]

[I]Simikiel, standing on a rock away from the others, opened his eyes, and jumped down from his perch. He approached Death Knight, smiling slightly.[/I]

[B]Simikiel:[/B] I have spoken with Ionel, Angel of Life and Ressurection. He can Ressurect Skye... And he can give you back your vitality.

[B]Death Knight:[/B] Do you not need God's permission?

[B]Simikiel:[/B] Our lord is the most holy thing, above all creation. His pacifist ways prohibit him from becoming involved in the war. I am in charge. I need only my own permission.

[I]Death Knight nodded. Simikiel looked to the ground, and then back up to face the knight.[/I]

[B]Simikiel:[/B] We only have to wait for Ionel to arrive. It should not be a long wait..

[Valen]

[i]Valen watched the gates rattle with every hit it took from the demons. The sound of the banging and demons screaming echoed throughout the city.[/i]

Valen: Fear not another archangel that will be coming out of the skies, for she is with me. She turned back to help a fallen angel.

[i]He thought he should not have said that in the presence of Sachiel. For now she would most likely recieve a swift death as Valen almost had. He hoped Sachiel hadn't heard that last part. Valen drew his Isis Katana as the gate's rattling stopped briefly.[/i]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Death Knight[/b]: Mmm. Alright. That sounds fine.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: I feel Ionel. He'll be here within 10 minutes or so..

[b]Death Knight[/b]: Haha. Finally. I'll have that power back.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: .. Pardon?

[b]Death Knight[/b]: You'll see.

Death Knight silently stared upward into the air, searching out amongst the clouds for a sign of Ionel. He knew that he would arrive on schedule, but the anticpation was eating him alive. To have his skin back meant... He could train and get stronger.

[b]Death Knight[/b]: Heh. And Skye. She'll have all her Sigul powers awakened, right?

[b]Simikeil[/b]: That is what we agreed on.

[b]Death Knight[/b]: Perfect.. She and I alone can handle any army of demons if her powers are awake.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: What about me?..

[b]Death Knight[/b]: Oh come now. You think I would forget about my daughter? With you there, all three of us could turn the tide of this war around..

Death Knight silently saw Ionel, flying downward through the clouds. Nodding to himself, Death Knight turned and fell silent waiting, as the time slowly ticked by.

- 8 Minutes Later

Ionel touched down onto the ground and looked to Simikeil nodding, and turned to Death Knight, looking him over.

[b]Ionel[/b]: Which do you prefer to happen first? Skye or your Vitality?

[b]Death Knight[/b]: I would hate her to see me like this. Bring back my flesh.

Ionel looked to Simikeil, who nodded, and brought up his staff, saying something in an Angelic language that Death Knight couldnt understand. A bright glow eminating from Ionel's forehead caught his eye- It was a rune of power.. It was the latin word for Ressurection, and it was glowing as brightly as the sun.

It fell deadly silent on the surronding area, as Zelfoh watched silently as the ground underneath her father glowed an eerie green. Ionel's eyes shut tightly, and a bright flash eminated from an orb on the top of his staff.

Slowly, the brightness faded and Ionel opened his eyes. Death Knight stood unchanged, and he nodded silently into the air. Medra tilted his head to the side, as did Zelfoh..

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: ... Eh?

[b]Death Knight[/b]: HAHA! It worked.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: But-

Zelfoh was cut off as Death Knight hummed outwardly, crossing his arms over his chest. The ground ruptured open underneath him, a hot steam pouring out. A red liquid seeped out, replacing the steam, and covered Death Knight's body, forming into muscles. Blood was dripping from the muscles as they formed, Death Knight writhing in pain. He screamed a shrill high scream, as a peach liquid followed out, covering his body and turning into Skin. The glowing in his eyes slowly disappeared, as two eyeballs flew out of the ground and into the sockets, rolling into place ominously.

His armor reappeared on him, as his hair sprouted from his head, messily covering his eyes and ears. It had white highlights in it, but the rest was pitch black. As he opened his eyes, they shined for a moment, then turned to their regular color, brown.

Muscles straining outwards, he slowly calmed down, breathing heavily. He was very well built, and looked to be only 25 or so. Laughing as loud as he could, Death Knight looked up to Ionel and bowed, still laughing.

[b]Death Knight[/b]: HAHA! Finally. My old power is back... I can either be a skeleton, or my old self. Yes. Finally...

[b]Ionel[/b]: That didnt go totally the way I expected it to.. But, lets get on with it. Skye's soul is trapped in the waterfall, correct?

[b]Death Knight[/b]: Yes.

[b]Ionel[/b]: Because of that, when she is ressurected, she will have the Sigul's powers and the powers of a Water Elemental.. But the spell itself takes an hour.

Ionel nodded to Simikeil once again, and walked calmly to the waterfall, raising both his hands and closing his eyes. He began to chant some sort of spell, looping the words over and over.. Simikeil turned back to Death Knight..

[b]Simikeil[/b]: Well. Now we wait.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: Father.. Is that you?

[b]Sennen[/b]: You may call me Sennen. Kenneth Sennen, Knight of Ducal.

[b]Medra[/b]: I'm still going to just call you 'Ken'. You know that. --;

[b]Sennen[/b]: Yes. Well. You can do that. So can Tarlain, Celestine, Simikeil and Zelfoh. But to everyone else, i'm Sennen. Hah hah hah. So good to be back in my old form.

With a small clanking from his iron gloves, he made a fist a few times, testing out his body. From the corner of his eye, he caught where he had damaged the ground summoning his flesh to himself. Silently, the ground repaired itself, and Sennen nodded.

[b]Sennen[/b]: Now I have to wait for an hour... Bah..

===

OOC Description of Kenneth:

Black hair with white highlights go down around his head, covering his ears and his eyes. He is very muscular, obviously, and wears the same armor as he always has. Nothing much has changed besides that.. Eye color brown. Umm. Handsome, but extremely rough looking from his battles. Has a scar on his arm..

You get the basic idea. [/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She watched quietly, arms crossed, wings drapped around herself. From her corner on the side of the cliffs....she could see everything in her domain. Whatever had happened to her quiet home? Now she had two extremely powerful Angels, a Succubus, a resurected Knight, an apprentice that was Jah knows where, an ArchDemon, and of course....her second father and mentor.

She closed her eyes. So much for calm and quiet...the two things she would've nearly posessed.....if she hadn't of rescued that innocent little Celestial...

Thoughts whirled through her head, then she shook it once, and was calm. Ochkik Haddah was certainly giving this Medra a ride for his money. The younger of the two had a face contorted with pain, but was not worried yet. That was good. The moonlight was exceptionally bright tonight. That was also good. But the flow of mana down here was wildly out of control.

"I wonder if I should start learning that spell I promised...."

She got off her butt and padded silently into grotto. Once inside, a thousand bats fluttered around her body, then resettled themselves.

"Peace, I am only here for a little while."[/i][/COLOR]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson]Sennen quietly sat down, crossing his arms over his chest and closing his eyes. The wind finally returned, blowing through the area. Medra was chatting a short distance away with Haddah, with Ionel chanting a few feet from them. Medra was noticiably annoyed by the looping chant Ionel was saying, but didnt do a thing, Haddah seemingly telling him to calm himself.

Zelfoh silently looked up at the moon, and waited...

- 15 minutes later, 24 minutes into the spell.

Some time had passed, Medra had raised his voice a few times at Haddah's style of conversation which was intensely hostile at times if you werent well known to him. Medra was now calm again, and Haddah was in the midst of a long speech it seemed, Medra nodding once and awhile.

Sennen sneezed and rubbed his nose with his finger, cursing his allergies and cursing the fact he was in the midst of a land filled with allergens. The sound of snoring came from above him, and beneath his hair, Sennen's eyes rolled at his daughter. She was asleep, and she was speaking in her sleep..

[b]Sennen[/b]: Little over half an hour to go..

Ionel had now sat near the edge of the water, his concentration intense, almost hostile. His eyes twitched every once and awhile, the waters surface rippling when he twitched. A red liquid was slowly forming on the surface- Skye's blood. Sennen shook his head, expecting the illusion to go away- But it didnt. The very blood he had shed in the pool was now returning. It did make some logical sense, but it was strange after so many years.

[b]Sennen[/b]: Goddamn this. I dont want to wait anymore.

Sennen plopped over onto his back and closed his eyes, silently resting intill the ressurection spell was up..[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She sat, crosslegged, body tensed. The spell book propped open in front of her was giving off a powerful sense of magic, and the bowl in her lap was reacting strongly. The flow of mana was disrupted, but she willed it to become normal again. With a deft movement, she continued stirring the ingredients, while uncorking a bottle.

Tarlain: Powdered hens teeth....red oxeye....tail feathers of a white falcon...

[i]The list went on....while she swiftly added each ingredient. Then she stopped, and closed the cupboard doors. It was finished....

Tarlain: Okay, ...*skims notes* Pour into precarved magic circle, fill every groove and step into the center.... Damnit. They didn't say anything about a magic circle.

She hissed with fustration, then grew her claws longer and picked up the silver basin. The female Dragouret ducked into a smaller chamber and set down her bowl. With a long sure stroke, she etched the circle, then added her own symbol into the center. A seven pointed star with a rose in the center. It was perfect. The bowl's flow of mana shuddered, and reacted. The liquid poured itself out of it's container and filled every groove. Without ceremony, she landed in the center, and the rose grew, covering the circle.

Tarlain: ....okay then. Let's do it.

Words, echoed through the chamber, moving quickly....sounds reberverated wildly, then escalated.... The energy created by her magic solidified underneath her feet. The magic circle fadded, as did the liquid. Steam rose from underneath her, but she stood still. It was not finished...[/i][/COLOR]

[Corey]

My soldiers were now back at South America. It had been along journey but worth it, so much. Two Siguls remained. I had gotten a sudden summon from my lord just as we had reached mainland. Just now the remainder of our fleet had landed. I took out the stone, not bothering to bloody it for my power was steadily growing, and gripped it.

[b]Ryan-[/b] "My lord, I am coming." I ripped open a portal and felt immence heat flow out. It felt good. I stepped in and watched the landscape change from plainlands to the firery mountainranges of hell. And where else had I been transported but just outside of the Palace. It was a very large structure, not going up but burrowing under the ground. I walked out onto the curver surface of the top. There was a large pentogram on the floor of this place. I slit my palm and dribbled blood onto it. The evil in it made the pentagram glow. Slowly a set of stais folded down. I walked down slowly.

[Juu]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]Celestine crawled towards another tree, stopping drastically as the snout of the best poked out from the opposite end of the tree. Celestine crawled the other way, sinking low as she crawled behind a log. She stepped lightly, ignoring the rustling of leaves nearby. Just then, the beast rose onto two legs. with one step, the floor beneath her trembled, its weight vibrating onto the dirt ground.

The floor felt cold, and the air was damp. Celestine moved back, and put one hand on top of the fallen log, as she glared at the tree where the beast was walking. she couldn't breathe. her throat felt numb, and her head was aching as the beast grew nearer. As it turned around, Celestine gasped at the sight of its face. Distorted, ugly... fit for a beast. She quivered at the sight of its teeth, marked with blood, and dented with flesh.

[i]This was definately not good...[/i]

The creature breathed, as a mist clouded out of its nostrils, grunting as it glanced around. as it began to turn away, Celestine put her hands together, and whispered the same spell as she had done earlier, as two orbs slowly formed within her palms.

The beast felt it. She knew. It glared at her directly, its eyes piercing her own. Terrified, celestine screamed as she let go of the orbs, and began to walk back to the camp. The beast walked to where she had been sitting, and sniffed the air around him. Celestine took another step back, and the creature's eyes shot up, and looked over at her. She inhaled, and bent down. Celestine picked up a rock, and threw it far away from her, hitting a tree in the distance.

It turned to where the tree had been hit, and began stampeding toward it. She picked up her hands towards her face, all but her two index fingers crossed. [i]"a'ga lene n' atta"[/i] She whispered, eyeing the direction of the beast. [i]"a'ga lene n' atta"[/i] she whispered louder, repeating it louder and louder each time. A blue wind swept up behind her, twirling and twisting up, lifting her hair in every direction. She eyes snapped open, as a spark of saphirre twinkled from her fingertips. The wind swept towards the beast's direction, turning more and more visible as the wave of ice and wind roared above the forest. She watched the wave collapse, as the wind subsided. She heard a jolting roar from above, that was silenced with a second roar of wind.

Then, she blanked out...[/color] [/size]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Sennen[/b]: Damn.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: I felt it too. She won, but she blacked out.

[b]Sennen[/b]: Anything in there can pick her off now- Damn. Come on, let's get going on the double.

Zelfoh nodded and lept into the sky with her spear above her, landing a distance away in the forest where she broke into a run, zig zagging in between the trees faster than the eye could see. She skidded on a sharp turn, and lept into the sky again, glancing around the forest below.

Ken unsheathed his sword , leaping upwards into the air just as his daughter did, slashing into the air to aid his ascent- A small shockwave eminating downwards. Both of them combed the forest in this way, hopping around. She was unconsious, so all they could go on was the mana they had felt right before she had passed out.

Both of them suddenly appeared next to each other in the sky..

[b]Sennen[/b]: You feel that? Her mana is regenerating even while she has no consiousness. Lets go.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: Right behind you!

Both of them descended into the forest, heading straight twards Celestine at high speed, dodgeing all the tree limbs in the Ancient Forest. Next to Celestine, either of them appeared, weapons drawn- They werent ones to let the Ancient Forest fool them by its peaceful appearance.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: Nothing here.

[b]Sennen[/b]: Nothing here either, except for the dead beast.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: Dead to the core. My goodness she must have alot of power.

[b]Sennen[/b]: Indeed, Zel. Let's wait here till she awakens, so we dont jepordize her test.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: Good idea.

Either of them kept their guards up, waiting silently for Celestine to awaken..[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Tarlain held the opaque stone in her hands, then roared aloud. Immediatly, her apprentice apeared next to her, still asleep. She smiled.....it worked.

She bent down and touched her hands to Celestine's face. Sweet and gentle. White light emmenated from her palms, and poured over her body....several moments later, Celestine sat up, rubbing her eyes.[/i]

Celes: I did it.....? How did I do?

Tarlain: [i]Very well. Great pyrotechnics. ;)[/i]

Celes: Did you watch?

Tarlain: [i]You were constantly in my mind's eye....but then I came back here to set this up for you.

She bent down and strung the jewel from Celestine's neck. Then she helped her to her feet....and the two went back to the waterfall's entrance. Medra and Ochkick Haddah were still in conversation, so the two didn't bother. Tarlain turned to Celestine.[/i]

Tarlain: [i]It is time for the next test.[/i]

Celes: But I just had one!

Tarlain: [i]This test is different. It is the fire you must enter, then exit. The Awakening was for you power. This is for your mind.[/i][/COLOR]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Zelfoh[/b]: *deep sigh* She could have told us she could do that.

[b]Sennen[/b]: Ah. All's well that ends well.. We need a casual stroll through the forest anyway.

Ken heaved his weapon into it's sheath, his armor clanking as he did. Zelfoh tilted her head in annoyance, resting her spear on her shoulder. She thought that finally the monotony of the endless hours of doing nothing had ended..

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: Well. At least she did it.

Ken began to head off into the forest, Zelfoh following behind. His armor clanged as he walked, alerting every beast in the area of their presence..

[b]Sennen[/b]: I know how you feel. I wanted to at least congratulate her. But, that's Tarlain for you.

Ducking beneath a low branch, his face turned into a 'ho-hum' kind of look. So much for a deversion.. And there was still time before Skye was ressurected. Zelfoh whistled lightly to herself, as they both headed back twards Simikeil...[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Celestine and her instructor stood in the main cavern.......then they quietly walked down into the stone halls.....until they finally came into the largest room yet. It was big. Really big. The waterfall and lake could easily have fit inside....with room to spare. The Celestial looked around, then immediatly saw the focus of their walk.

Tarlain walked to the huge fire circle and passed her hands over it. Immediatly, huge blue and white flames crackled into the air, searing heat passing through the place.[/i]

Celes: No way.....I am not going in there.

Tarlain: [i]Baby. It's not painful, unless you fail. This place is not for mere mortals, it is for you and your kind. This will not burn your flesh, but rather, burn the locks on your mind.....it will open up the potential you need....to learn.[/i]

Celes: Oh. Well then, is there anything I should know?

Tarlain: [i]Be honest. It's not good to lie to Her.[/i]

Celes: Who?

Tarlain: [i]You will be trained for a time...to test your strength, and then you will be questioned by She who is Many.[/i]

Celes: Is she a goddess?

Tarlain: [i]No, she is Innana, Queen of the Night....a mistress of Illusion. Do not fear her, unless you come with a lying spirit. Now go.

The female Dragouret pointed, and smiled....

"Do not forget my gift."

The Celestial touched the opal on her neck, then smiled, reassured. She took a step forward....then braced herself and leapt into the flames.[/i]

Tarlain: ...[i]Jah grant her success.[/i][/COLOR]

[Corey]

I climbed down the stairs for an entire hour. Another one of the many defences of this palace, the stairs were so long that an army would be tired by the time they got to the bottom. Not only that but they were only large enough to hold a single-file line. I sighed as I finnaly got to the entrace chamber. It was a large room, about as large as a medium house. I walked up to the pot and dipped my hand in. It came out covered in a dark liquid. Immediately the dark brown water seeped into my skin. I walked up and touched the large black steel door. It shuddered against my touch and pulled away in an organic movement. I waved to the Reapers standing gaurd and they untensed. Ther Grim Reapers were dedicated to their jobs, that's why they made good gaurds. I stepped into the Main Hall. From here, all parts of Hell could be accessed.
To the left was a large shiny silver door, the soul refinery. It was a large machine made up of living people. You could hear the screams every time a sould was used to create a demon. That was the machines, the peoples, damnation. They were damned to capture and corrupt souls for eternity.
Right after the refinery was a large set of stairs that went downwards even farther. Down there was the Pit. It is basically a mine. Down there they mine a green ore. The ore is nothing but concentraited malice. Down here we use it as an energy source. Everything down here is run by malice from the Pit.
On the right is the tourture chamber. No one is exactly sure why they call it a chamber, for it is a completely different dimension. Your walk through a wall and you are in a expance of blackness. It's a dimension of pain and death. Yet you never die. You stay there for all eternity.
And right after the tourture chamber is a large tunnel. From that tunnel people come in after travelling the circles of Hell. After that long long journey they are ready for a break. Hell is a welcome place, untill they get sent to the Pit or the chamber.
And in the back of this large room, is Satan. He sits on his throne governing all of Hell. When I first got to Hell, Satan had nine chains binding his body. Now he only had two. He was beautiful. He wore a suit of black, tight fitting armour. When ever he breathed the armour flashed red. He eyes pulsed a dark red. His hair was completely white, but very thick. And his face was once the epitome of beauty, but he lost his wonderful looks in a battle a long time ago. Now a large verticle scar runs down the left side of his face. I walkd up and bowed very low. This was only the fourth time I had ever seen my lord.

[b]Ryan-[/b] "Why have you summoned me, o lord?" He set his gaze upon me. I felt it even though I diddn't look up at his face.

[b]Satan-[/b] "Ryan, something is happening. Someone is attempting to ressurect a Sigul. If that happens, the chain around my neck will reappear. We cannot let that happen Ryan. I trust you. We cannot afford to have another Sigul on our hands. The two remaining are in Jerusalem, the hardest place for demons to infiltrait." He sighed, "I will allow you access to my Zealots. They are excellent fighters, as strong as four or five demons combined. I have but five-hundred. Souls evil enough to make Zealots are hard to find. Now go, and take these. You [i]will[/i] need them." I looked up to see Satan holding up five vials of black blood. I felt the vials in my pocket. Seven were still there. I would have twelve vials of satans blood. I would be unstoppable.

[b]Ryan-[/b] "Yes my master..." I looked directly into his eyes and smiled evily. He smiled back.

[b]Satan-[/b] "Now go." He waved his now free hand and I was inside of the Great Plains of the US, surrounded by a group of demons the likes of which I had never seen. Each was wielding an axe and each was fully armored. They must be the Zealots. Their eyes pusled blackly behind their helmets.

[b]Ryan-[/b] "Let's go..." Soon I would go to the Orcale for the location of the new Sigul.

[Juu]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]Celestine grit her teeth, and clasped her arms around her as she sat in the fire, feeling the wielding flames surround her. She hung her head, and sighed, taking a deep breath and shivering. She looked up, and she saw a figure standing in front of her. She was watching patiantly, her arms crossed.

Celestine looked back down, and sighed, Tarlain's words echoing in her head. Her muscles untensed, and relaxed. She calmed down, and tried her best not to think of the flames harmful, but helpful amongst her training. Again, the thoughts came. Her mother, father, everything that was happening all so suddenly. Celestine drew another deep breath, and took the thoughts out of her mind once more. That was the past, now it was time to think of her future.

In that instant, the flames disappeared around her. Sprialing down into where they had begun. The woman reached out a hand to her, and helped her up, her thin lips smiling at her. The woman eyed her, walking slowly around her as her wings folded back behind her. She placed a finger on her chin, and nodded.

"A celestial, I presume." The woman said, still looking over the White elf.

Celestine nodded, and gulped. She wasn't too sure of what to say to her.

"Hold still." She said, placing a finger on Celestine's forehead.

Celestine obeyed, and closed her eyes. A jolting spark came from her fingers, causing Celestine to jump back, and fall in responce. She rubbed her head, still startled by the jolt.

"Hmm..." She said simply, still circling her. "A dragoret sent you here..."

The woman paused, and looked up at the walls of the cave.

"Tarlain?"

Celestine's eyes grew large, as she stumbled back up.

"Yes." Celestine replied. "You're Innana, right?"

The woman chuckled, and bowed back in responce.

"How rude of me not to introduce myself." She chuckled, "Yes, I am Innana."[/color] [/size]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=blue][i]Innana held out her hands....and gestured to the place they were standing in. Huge and open....rolling waves, only they were jade green...and the sand she was kneeling in, was made of simple saphires....

She looked up, what would be next? Or was this all an illlusion? It felt real enough....

Tarlain smiled. This would take a few days at least.....she sighed. No sense in sitting around, might as well get back to her work.

She padded through the caverns silently, designing the next Spirit Stone in her mind...opal went with a Celestial...maybe a garnet for Zelfoh...

"Geh, I'm going to have to hunt again."

Once back into her normal room, she opened a panel in the wall and dragged out her longbow. This was going to take some time. How many gyrefalcons could there be?[/i][/COLOR]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Sennen[/b]: Ten Minutes till she's back, Zel.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: What are you going to do first?

Both of them cleared the forest, stepping out into pale moonlight. Their attention immediately fell on the waterfall, where Ionel was wrapping up the ressurection spell. Sennen silently turned his head to Zelfoh and nodded, Zelfoh nodding back to him in understanding. She walked off to sleep for the night, Sennen heading twards the Lake to wait the 8 minutes out...

He stood silently, listening to the chant seemingly echo throughout his mind over and over. Suddenly, Ionel stopped and looked to Sennen, nodding.

[b]Ionel[/b]: I'm done. Her soul wanted to come back to the living world so much so that it cut down the time it normally requires.

[b]Sennen[/b]: Then where is she?

[b]Ionel[/b]: Coming... Be patient. Oh, and I did as you asked... All her powers as a Sigul are awakened. She will be a force to be reckoned with..

Sennen stared into the water, the calmness of it all making him wonder if Ionel did it right or not..

[b]Sennen[/b]: ... Mmm ...

[b]Ionel[/b]: 45 seconds..

The water's surface began to ripple, a bright white light coming into veiw in the depths of the lake. It was getting closer at a quick pace, the bright white light quickly becoming blinding to Sennen. He raised his arm in natural defense, but the light subsided quickly.

A young woman dressed in a white dress was hovering above the lake, her raven black hair flicking upwards as her eyes slowly opened. Sennen slowly lowered his arm, and silently grinned to himself in victory. Several yellow sparkles appeared beside the woman, and an oak staff topped with an emerald materialized.

[b]Sennen[/b]: ... I'll be damned. I didnt think you really could ressurect Skye...

Skye slowly descended next to them, her eyes closing again as everything slowly dawning on her. Sennen shook her shoulder slowly..

[b]Sennen[/b]: Skye? Skye? Sister? ^_^ Sister?

Skye's hand shot up to where Ken was shaking her, her eyes snapping open. Sennen was startled as a small grin appeared on her face. Skye threw Sennen across the land, as he slammed into a large anceint tree, breaking it in half.

[b]Skye[/b]: We're even now, Big bro.

[b]Sennen[/b]: ... Ugh.[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Her head snapped up. On second thought, there would be no hunting today. She growled and took off at a headlong run.

The first thing she noticed was the Ancient Tree. In two peices. She saw black. Then red. Then, finally just fire. A primal scream ripped from her throat and her body surged with unrestrained energy.[/i]

Tarlain: [i]FIGHT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

Her kythed scream reberverated through everyone's ears....and they looked at her....like she had grown several different heads. Her Starseed had already come out of her chest, and was suffusing her with long stored energy. Ionel and Semikiel looked at her, then bowed and disapeared. She advanced towars Skye and Sennen.[/i]

Tarlain: [i]I'll give you ten seconds to regenerate that tree before I start pulling out my summons.[/i][/COLOR]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Sennen[/b]: ... Dont threaten me, Tarlain.

[b]Skye[/b]: Many apologies. My strength is not known to me yet.

Sennen quietly repaired the tree and sat up, the dust settling around him. He spit at Tarlain and glared at her, as if to say 'We'll talk later'. His eyes glanced back to Skye, who had a confused look on her face...

She looked down, and then at her hands, silently pondering things to herself. As she did, Sennen walked foreward slowly twards his sister, Zelfoh churning silently in her sleep.. Skye's mana was almost all holy, and she was indeed strong- Especially for a Sigul.

[b]Skye[/b]: More than one thousand six hundred years ago you killed me, Ken.

She glanced up at Ken and tilted her head slowly, seeing him dressed in a full suit of armor was unusual. He was also bleeding from a small cut across his cheek, but he didnt seem to mind.

[b]Sennen[/b]: Tarlain. Go. Your presence isnt needed her right now.

He was totally serious, not being menacing, not being amusing, just being honest. He looked at her stubborn, naive face and shook his head slowly, glanceing back to Skye.

[b]Sennen[/b]: Nevermind. You're too immature to just drop a mistake.

[b]Skye[/b]: I cannot believe that after being a Sigul hunter, it finally dawned on you that maybe, just maybe, saving lives would be just as satisfying as ending them.

[b]Sennen[/b]: We dont have time for this. Ryan is going to go to the Oracle any minute now and find out where you are. I dont want this war to come to Athenae, and neither do you, Sister.

[b]Skye[/b]: Where do we take it then? Whos land *do* you think is a good place to take this war?

[b]Sennen[/b]: We arent going to take it anywhere. We're bringing the War to Ryan's damned doorstep. I dont know about you, but i'm fed up with waiting.

[b]Skye[/b]: We have to wait for Celestine.

[b]Sennen[/b]: If we wait any longer there will be no world to f*cking save anymore. This isnt a game, we cant save to be sure we can go back. This is the fate of the Cosmos, got it?

[b]Skye[/b]: Dont lecture me. I'm as wise as you are. Souls are easy to travel around in, you know.

By now the arguement had awoken Zelfoh, and she stood, casually striding over to them...

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: If we wait for Celestine, with Simikeil we could destroy all of the demon armies.

[b]Skye[/b]: Exactly. We only need to wait a few days.

[b]Sennen[/b]: If the last two Siguls are killed, they are going to hunt you down, you understand? You still want to wait till you become the most wanted person on Earth?

[b]Skye[/b]: I've died once. Its no problem to do it again.

[b]Sennen[/b]: You all are impossible.

Sennen shook his head and stormed off into the night, angered at having to stand by till Celestine was done. Skye sighed and placed her hand on her cheek, shaking her head slowly as well..

[b]Skye[/b]: Our opinons still differ after so long.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: I'm sorry, but we havent been properly introduced. I'm Zelfoh, Ken's daughter.

[b]Skye[/b]: Daughter? Ken had a daughter?

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: Well.. Um. Yes. And i'm her.

[b]Skye[/b]: I'm an aunt? My. o.o; I wonder why I never saw you around Ken.

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: I was often on a mission. ^_^'

Skye nodded and glanced worriedly after Ken, sighing. He had always been an overacheiver, but now was not a time to make hasty moves. Skye glanced over at Tarlain..

[b]Skye[/b]: I'm sorry about your tree. It's a wonderful Tree to converse with. I often talked with it's spirit about many things...

Skye bowed to Tarlain, and looked visably fatigued. She stumbled foreward, before catching herself suddenly...

[b]Skye[/b]: I'm so fatigued all of a sudden..

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: It's from your ressurection. You best get some rest..

Skye nodded and walked over twards the Ancient Tree, laying down underneath it and almost immediately falling asleep. Zelfoh's gaze slowly turned to Tarlain..

[b]Zelfoh[/b]: How is Celestine doing?...[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Tarlain: [i]Give her one day. The world is not going to fall for at least another week...this I know to be true.[/i]

Zelfoh: What about the next step?

Tarlain: ....[i]The ambrosia is ready. As soon as she is rejuvinated, she will grow her wings and she will drink the elixer. Then we will be ready.[/i]

Sennen: She is going to be able to handle these magic infusions so quickly?

Tarlain: [i]I gave her a spirit stone. She will be able to handle it....and with it comes control and a new Sight.[/i]

Sennen: Let's go.

[i]With a soft whoosh, she rose to her feet, nodding to Zelfoh. The succubus silently disapeared into the grotto, waiting for Celestine to emerge. The newly restored knight and the Shamaness walked into the forest...... The space between the trees widdened for them, then closed behind them.[/i]

Sennen: So...what was that tiraide for?

Tarlain: [i]What was that spitting for? When you came here, I was not expecting to gain an additional eight beings. This place does not apreciate so many. Not even when I am influencing it. I could apoligize. But I won't.

She crossed her arms, defiantly. Ochkik Haddah was laughing.[/i][/COLOR]

[DeathKnight]

[color=crimson][b]Sennen[/b]: If it's such a big deal, we'll be out of your hair in no time..

Sennen shook his head in annoyance and sighed, wondering why he was in such a bad mood suddenly. Reaching up and feeling of his cheek, he whiped some of the blood away from his face. Bringing his hand down, he glanced at his gloves, seeing the red taint of his wound on them.

He glanced to Tarlain and sighed slowly..

[b]Sennen[/b]: I'm sorry. It's been a rough few days...[/color]
