Eldrad had to refrain from rubbing his temples... it was a habit he'd seen Cougar do many times when he was stressed, and he was starting to pick it up. But this was a tad annoying,"Without knowing anything at all about your magick, apart from what you just told me, it is difficult to know where to start."

"Well I apologize for my lack of knowledge. That is in part why I was sent here. As I have also said before we have found it to be very easy for us to minipulate technology with biology. Could that be because of something in our barried magik? Could you not use your magik to look into me and figure it out."

OOC:What are the fields of magik here again and which would be closest to spirit like what I had tried to do before.
Ok warhaven will do as soon as I create my majik style.

"I don't think entertainers have any set dress."

"That's interesting," responded Ichiro running a hand through her hair, "back home the bards also are the historians. Their red cloaks and torcs of rank pretty much allow them free reign, with in certain limits, Ms. Riaane.

"Master Harper Robinton taught me to play a little on the harp."

"Our historians are historians...there are five, with their apprentices. The entertainers take artistic liscence with historical legends and tales. Beautiful, more often than not...but only somewhat historically accurate."

"Our historians are historians...there are five, with their apprentices. The entertainers take artistic liscence with historical legends and tales. Beautiful, more often than not...but only somewhat historically accurate."

Ichiro nodded, "The Harper guild keeps all the records on every matter," she snorts a little, "they are quite the pack-rats if you ask me."

"Well..."

The mage sighed, and called a little flame into her hand. It flattened out and became a sheet of parchment.

"This is one leaf of a book. This..." In a burst of flame, the paper was transformed into an entire book. "...this is a book. Now, if you were to take several thousand of them over many centuries...each being as historically important as the last...I would think there would be quite the accumulation."

In another burst, the book was consumed, leaving nothing.

The mage sighed, and called a little flame into her hand. It flattened out and became a sheet of parchment.

Ichiro smirked, "The libary at Harper Hall (OOC: The center of learning and home of the Harper guild) is one of the largest I have ever seen.

"But enough about the Harpers (OOC: She's as passionate as a Haper, but not as patient), we should focus on my training with Fire."

The mage arched an eyebrow. This youngling's impatience would have to be cured...but enthusiasm to learn was a trait that not all of her Drow students shared.

"Very well. First, what do you know of Fire?"

OOC: 'Field'? As in, geomancy, pyromancy, aeromancy, etc, etc? Take your pick of a nearly endless list.

IC: "I cannot look inside you and tell you what you can and cannot do. That is a task only you can complete. I am not here to tell you what you can do insofar as your magickal talents..."

If you have any, that is...

"... but to instruct you, if I deem you worthy, on how to control and channel that raw magickal energy. And, I will point out one thing. Manipulating technology using biology is simple... they are called fingers."

His tone was one of slight exasperation with this newcomer. He had come with a willingness to learn, certainly, but with absolutly no frame of reference on which Eldrad could build.

Teji pulls out the magik reader stone once more and holds it out to Eldar it glows almost as brightly as a miniature sun but its light is cool and soothing not blinding. "This stone we have discovered according to the artifact records measures just how powerful the magik potential is in whoever holds it. The brighter it glows the stronger the potential. As far as biological manipulation your idea is backwards I meant that we have created technological devices that use many of the biological systems to operate. For instance our computers are almost like a human brain minus the info loss. We have batteries that use the same efficient methods of plants to harness bountiful supplies of energy from stars. Many of us have technology integrated into our systems to speed up reaction times and enhance many other abilities. These pieces of technology are also supplied by the blood stream in a similar fashion to cells so that there is no need for a separate energy system. That is what I meant."

OOC: Yes those fields I would like to know all of them to pick which line I will take.

OOC: *Bangs head* I don't think you understand. There is no definative list of fields of magick here... you have to figure it out for yourself. It's called research. A good starting point is to ask around.

IC: Eldrad's centuries of control stopped him from the outburst that many would think of a human or a young Eldar. He was a warrior, but moreover, he was a Black Guardian Farseer, one whose powers were vastly toned down to prevent alarm bells ringing in everybodies heads. It was a testament to Eldar control. He was also a citizen of Snake Eaters, and as such carried the nanites in his bloodstream like all Snake Eaters do. Thus, he ignored the comments regarding the use of technology... he was well versed in it. Moreso than many believed.

Instead, he paid close attention to the stone,"Interesting... a concept not dissimilar to our soulstones. May I?"

OOC: Fine what would you call someone who manipulates the spiritual energys of animal and plant life to alter or change them or also see into the past and the future.

OOC: I do not think my IC Post were rude. They were just explanitory and corrections on what was understood from what I had said earlier. Ignorence does not equal rudeness according to my dictionary. Ok I will travel the path of a clairvoyant then. The thing was that I had forgoten how you guys set everything up.

Piekrom']OOC: Fine what would you call someone who manipulates the spiritual energys of animal and plant life to alter or change them or also see into the past and the future.

OOC: I would call the first part the Element of Nature. The part on time, that's not exactly a field I like to delve into that much. To see into the past, pick up a history book.

The mage arched an eyebrow. This youngling's impatience would have to be cured...but enthusiasm to learn was a trait that not all of her Drow students shared.

"Very well. First, what do you know of Fire?"

OOC: I will be out of state for this Thanksgiving vacation. I will have little, if any access to a computer. I will let you know when I have returned. As usual, I will still leave my computer on and logged-in over that time, but I will be A.F.K..

IC: Ichiro thought for a moment before responding, "In the area of defense their is the Fire Wall (OOC: Described in one of my early posts in this thread). In the area of offense, their is Fox Tail Inferno (OCC: Described when she showed it to the Warhaven Pyro-Wizard) and Dragon Wheel (OOC: Never got a chance to describe this one yet). Those are the only actual techniques I know. I know how to control the flow of Fire Energy, kind of, and would like to learn more techniques."

"How well do you understand fire, young Ichiro?"

"um.. Excuse me Elkador (master) can you help me?" *Fingal asked a passing mage.*

[NS]Piekrom, this is for you.

He handed back the pad.

"That's intresting." Valanthe said as Tharivol went back in with the pad and came back out with an exact duplicate so similar, it seemed as though it was the original sheet.

"Well, all that aside, I believe the smith and the armorer are both on the north end." Tharivol said.

He motioned Artimese over to a nearby tree.

Valanthe cast a spell, and Tharivol disappeared inside the tree.

"This is a Teleport by tree spell, Druids and really skilled Geomancers can cast it. It requires a tree of the exact same species to be within 100 miles of each other. Its really handy, because unlike a normal teleport spell, this spell is rather hard to trace, however, its limited range counters this benifit." She said.

Only in this case, there were only two Aspen trees within 100 miles of each other, one at the north end, one at the south end of Warfare's city.

Valanthe cast the spell on Artimese, and her self.

"Simply step inside." she said.

with that, she too disappeared.

OOC: Its been a few weeks. here's a little, "Present" for when you return from Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it. This time, no one is spared, and all will fall victim...

IC:It had been awhile since anything had happened. The feind was gone.

Then, from the horizon, came a horrifying mist. everything seemed, diffrent, inside of it. Strange and unusual shapes lurked in the darkness of the mist, shapes impossible in the waking world, in reality. The mist overtook the tower, and filled every nook and cranny of the tower, lulling, forcing everyone in there, waking or not, into the Dreamworld.

The Dreamworld.

The tower appeared to be exactly the same, what was the point? had anything truly happened?

Maybe, but then again, who were these strange people looking at everyone? The strangest thing of all, they were all the exact same man. Or was it a woman? who could tell? No one. The only thing that could be seen of this thing beneath its many layers of robes, were to dark blue eyes.

This person, did not really exist in the waking world. It spoke without a voice, in such a manner as to be impossible to determine exactly what it was. It was not an androgenus voice, but it was a voice all the same.

"Two little goblins out in the sun, along came a griffin and then there were none. Yet is life not without balance? Two little griffins lost in the dark, along came a dragon and then there were none. you have all sinned heavily against the natural order of things, with your "Magick". Come, be tried by my scales, and be found guilty. Soon you shall learn that magick has absolutly no place in reality, and is better off dead. All ye who practice the dark Arts have been found Guilty of attempting to destry Creation by Virtue of disturbing its natural Order, thus causing it to Spiral ever downward in an endless Cycle of death. Take peace in knowing that you will die in your sleep, for you cannot wake up from this." the man said.

One of the men walked up to Eldrad.
"You are guilty of practicing the Magick of the Warp. your plead is Irrelevant. you will now Die for there is no Mercy for the Guilty or the innocent in the court of the Mad God." He drew a long curved Blade and struck at Eldrad.

The Men also walked up to every other person in the Tower and said something similar, regardless of Country of Origin, and drew similar long curved blades, and struck at whomever they were in front of.

Only one seemed real, and that was the man standing away from everyone else. Yet everyone elses blade was real enough. He spoke up next.

"Take pride in the fact you Die at the hands of Feind Libra." Libra said.

OOC: Defeat Libra, you live. Die at the hands of a Libra shadow, you really die. No matter how close to death you get in this Dream, if you defeat Libra, its as though it never happened, and was simply, a nightmare.

Remember though, you die at the hands of Libra, shadow or real one, your body takes the same damage in the waking world, thus causing Death.

Libra Shadows and Libra himself both have high Magick resistance, meaning it would be easier to kill him through Physical means.

Oh yes, as soon as someone defeats the real Libra, the one in the Waking world, the Dream ends, and yes, he can be found, and killed, for messages can still be sent to those outside the Tower...

Upon seeing the strange fog approach Teji turns quickly to Eldar to ask if he knew what was going on. Before he could speak though strange shapes appear. He then says to Eldar, “I will let you barrow it to you later so you can examine it without disturbance."
A dark heavily robbed figure carrying a curved blade appears before him threatening him with death. It then slices at Teji who uses his enhanced reaction time to get clear out of the way. He then pulls out his two 7 foot two handed swords out from behind his back and charges at his opponent. He catches his opponents blade which was still moving down ward with one driving it into the ground while he slices off his opponents head with the other. As Eldar does what he can to avoid and counter his opponents attack Teji quickly stabs it in the side spilling its guts.

"FOOL This is not the Waking world. Normal rules do not apply here." Libra sneers at Teji.

Other shadows leap out of the real one to take on Teji. One for Teji, one for Eldrad.

Piekrom']"Well certainly you can look at it." Teji then holds it in an open palm so that Eldar can take it up in his hand and examin it some more.
OOC: His name is Eldrad! His race is Eldar! Get it right!

IC: Eldrad took it, and studied it for a moment. The light was brighter than you would have thought, looking at him,"An interesting concept. But it does not tell me much... you must tell me, what branch of magick do you wish to study?"

As the fiend of Libra swung at him, Eldrad dodged it with speed born of his race, his wraithbone armour moving like liquid metal. He unsheathed his own blade, and then stopped,"You are nothing. Your magick is pale in comparision to the power of the Warp. Leave now, and I might just let you live"

Piekrom']"So this is all a dream? You made a big mistake by saying that." With that Teji imagines his enemy is gone and so it disappears.
OOC: Godmod. You cannot say what happens to another persons character, no matter how good your logic.

"So this is all a dream? You made a big mistake by saying that." With that Teji imagines encasing shells that do not move surrounding each of the look alikes. They are all impregnable and absorb magik of any sort getting stronger and stronger draining the magik force out of those traped inside very quickly.

OOC: That better?

Artemis followed Tharivol.

"Why do we need the smith and the armourer though?"

Libra cackled with utter glee.

"You follow the same logic all others follow. haha, you are as weak brained as any other Troll. As for the strength of my magick, well, I never used magick. My only power, is trapping others in the Dreamworld. All is possible in the dreamworld, if you have the strength of mind to maintain the thought. Sadly, this dream too, must end. I am finished with the Kaymirilian mages. Forget what Master said, you two intrest me the most." Libra said.

With that, every Kaymirilian woke up. The only two trapped within the Dreamworld still, were Teji, and Eldrad.

Dreamworld.

The White tower they were in changed. Libra continued to cackle with Glee.

Now, it was a dense Aspen forest.

Libra was somewhere in the distance.

"You want to live to wake up, come find me then."

The voice trailed aaway in all directions.

Libra cackled with utter glee.

Eldrad snorted with disgust,"This is pitiful. Truly pitiful. You claim to be powerful, and yet you run away... well, I will see to this."

With that, he started moving in the direction that he knew Libra to be in,"The dead are not silent, even in dreams. They will tell me where you lie, fiend."

"I need my sword repaired friend." Tharivol said.

He held out his sword. Thyer was a great nic in it, and it was bent.

"Trust me, you do not want to mess with what I did." Tharivol said.

Valanthe held out her Armor. Several holes were in it.

"It is only the course of wisdom to insure you are properly prepared." Valanthe said.

"Drat, we did not know you could talk to the dead old man. Thank you for telling us though. That will be most helpful." Libra said.

Eldrad suddenly came upon two Libras one, laying upon the ground, sleeping, and one crou8ched upon the sleeping Libra.

"You see me sleeping here. You know the truth of many things. But my question to you is, can you Dodge this?" Libra asked as he disappeared. Both bodies vanished, and a full thirty seconds behind him, was a speeding train.

Eldrad found himself upon Tracks. The Train was coming for him.

Teji was following Eldrad seeing as he knew what to do. He stayed to the back and to the left . Teji was just coming upon where eldrad had stoped when he heard the train aproch. He then quickly hurtled Eldrad with him to the right of the tracks out of the way. He quickly got up brushed him self off and held out a hand to Eldrad

"Grrr... you begin to irritate me." Libra said.

While Teji was holding out his hand to Eldrad, a great rift formed between them, and suddenly, they were on opposite sides of a great barrier. a Column of wind threatened to tear apart any wh dared to try to fly accross. The rift was great, being 3x greater than the pacific ocean.

A great stone hand rose out of the ground to smash Teji.

As for Eldrad, Libra appeared. Eldrad could see libra's mind working to maintain a powerful thought.

The sun seemed bright, a great column of flame shot from the sun, to Eldrad, to burn him to a crisp.

"Grrr... you begin to irritate me." Libra said.

Eldrad had coolly stepped away from the tracks and thus avoided the train, before holding up his hand to take in the column of fire,"You underestimate the power of your opponents. It is youre greatest weakness. In the waking world, I have to limit my power... but here... Here, I can show fully what I can do."

He brought both his hands back, and the blue glow of the Warp began to emanate from within and around him,"The Warp is not just existant in the waking world... it is all around us. It is the anti-thesis to the thesis. It is immortal, part of the intricate nature of the Multiverse, and yet not as well. I have studied in the Black Libary, a place outside the realms of time and space... a place only a select few can access. The power within has taught me much... ever since the Fall, my power has grown. You will be defeated."

AS he finished talking, he pushed the ball of glowing, crackling warp energy towards Libra with incredible force. It was surrounded by a haze, and as it travelled, new spheres were created from the very matter itself. Libra may have been highly magickal-resistant... but the Warp was not magick.

Teji quickly dodges back out o the way of the hand. He then imagines himself to be the size of the planet earth. He stomps on the hand and then jumps over the chasm and lands a quarter of a mile down from Eldrad and Libra. He then quickly shrunk back to his original size.

"Ahh I see."

He walked into the tree.

The experience was....unnerving.

The tree-transport was not an easy ride, nor was it a level or even upright one. Artemis was rushed along the root network, magically melded into the trees, flowing through the roots of one to the adjoining roots of another. He went up fast and dropped suddenly.

He spun corkscrew motions along one winding route, then went through a series of violent sharp turns, so he bit the inside of one cheek then the other.

He finally came out, and fell onto the grass.

Eldrad and Teji wake up, as though from a night's rest. Had it really happened, or was it really just a dream?

Libra had died, and became a part of the dreamworld, vound to forever haunt the dreams of others.

ooc: sorry been gone for thanksgiving, haven't posted in a while.

IC:
Loki walked around the tower in search of a new teacher. Eventually he stopped in front of a mage/wizard of Snake Eaters. "Excuse me, sir," Loki interjected. "I had been learning from Master Xos, but he dissappeared and told me to try some other teachers in his stead... I was wondering if you would be willing to teach me?"

"Ahh I see."

He walked into the tree.

Tharivol picked him up and dusted him off.

"The first time is always rough. Be Glad it was just tree to tree, and not through an entire forest." Tharivol said.

Tharivol and valanthe went off to the Armorer amd the Blacksmith.

Eldrad and Teji wake up, as though from a night's rest. Had it really happened, or was it really just a dream?

Libra had died, and became a part of the dreamworld, vound to forever haunt the dreams of others.

"No way it's that easy. Things may not be as they seem, young one. We must be cautious."

Artemis followed the two, realising that Mooshie was still miles away. He sighed, he could bring him to him at any time.

Tharivol seperated, and went to the Blacksmith.

Valanthe went to the armorer. They were next door of course.

Within minuets of chatting, the two went straight to work. Valanthe and tharivol came back out.

"It will take at least an hour.maybe more." Thativol said.

"Was there anything you needed in the mean time?" Valanthe asked.

"If not, then explore the town at your leisure." Tharivol said.

"Hmmm, I may get some plates put onto my chainmail, give me a bit more protection, but keep the flexiblilty."

Artemis had no idea that his chainmail was in fact mithril, and was very protective, but he went into the armourer anyway.

The Armorer was in the process of patching Valanthe's hide armor.

"Hola good neighbor. What can I do for you today? Say, is that Mithril your wearing? Mighty strong stuff that Mithril. If your intrested in selling it, I could maybe give you 20,000 Gold peices for it." The Armorer said.

" 20,000 gold pieces....... 20,000!!! But the armourer at the Tower, the friend of my father's, he gave this to me..... I just thought it was fairly cheap stuff, I wanted some armour plates put on for extra protection, but 20,000 pieces!!"

"Oh, Mithril protects well enough in Chainmail, however, if you wish, I could add in Mithril plating for maybe, 7,000 GP." The Armorer said.

A second later, he spoke up again.

"Or maybe if you have the money, I could sell you Full plate mithril Armor, for only 500,000 GP.Course, I would have to measure your whole body too, to ensure it fitted."

"Well I just want a little more protection, and keep my flexibility. On top of that, I have only 10,000 gold pieces from all my life and work saved up. How much would a helmet be?"

"Oh, that depends on the material. I have a real nice Coonskin cap for three Bronze. On the opposite end of the scale, i have an enchanted Mithril helmet for 9,000. Its enchanted with darkvision, so, as long as you have the Helmet on, you can see in the dark, like a Drow." The Armorer said.

"Do you have one around the 3,000 mark?"

"Depends on what material and style you want. It also depends on whether you want one with an enchantment."

He put down the Armor, and walked to the back room.

Then he came back out.

One was Bronze, with a visor. One was Steel, without a Visor, and one was a common Mithril Helmet.

"Now, the Bronze normally sells for 100 Gold, but its Enchanted with a Spell that allows the wearer to maintain the Clarity of logic in battle. It also allows the wearer to think quickly. Even faster than normal.

The Steel, is normally sold for 500, but has an illusion that allows you to see one second ahead in battle, a difficult spell to enchant.

The third, is a normal Mithril Helmet, normally sold for 3,000 dollars." The Armorer said. All three went for 3,000 dollars.

"How about I take the bronze helm, but without the visor if possible, and also leave my chainmail here for you to put some solid plates on it?"

"Oh, sure, sure." The Helmet and Armor, will be ready in three hours. It would be two, however I m,ust finish another Job first." Said the Armorer.

He sat back down, and picked the Hide armor back up again.

"Pay me after I'm done. I prefer that you see the Quality you will be paying for." said the Armorer.

"OK, it's a deal."

Artemis took off the chainmail, and left it in the armourers. He walked outside then, his green clothes matching his green eyes nicely.

Tharivol was waiting for him.

"come, come. let us got to the Park, it is a nice day, and near the commercial district." Tharivol said.

"Fair enough, why not"

He followed Tharivol.

The Park was Green, with paths everywhere.

Slivers slithered about, children ran and laughed and played, and generaly, were children. Adults walked hand in hand, others watched the children. Valanthe was somehere in the Park, but nowhere to be seen.

"Be back at the Armorers in three hours." Tharivol said.

Then he disappeared into the Crowd.

Artemis got up and walked about the park, charming small birds to come down off the branchs, and for squirrels to take a nut form his hand.

He was having fun.

Something, else, was charmed to come to Artimese. a horse came and wandered on over. It nuzzled Artimese in a friendly manner.

Artemis stroked the horse back. He patted its muzzle.

The Horse whined, and rubbed against him.

It seemed willing to give hime a Ride, should he want it. The horse was a Mare, and beautiful at that. It was Chestnut Brown, waith Patches of Black, and a white Mane.

Artemis swung himself up onto the piebald's back.

To his surprise he didn't need saddle or stirrups.

The Horse trotted around the park, easily. Valanthe smiled as they passed.

She said something Artimese had no chance of understanding, and the horse turned and trotted towards the Armorer. Time had already passed.

When she got to the Armorers, the Horse turned into a Druidess. She set Artimese on the Ground.

"See you in the woods, handsome." She said as she walked away. She had Blond hair, and black eyes. She was really pretty too.

"No way it's that easy. Things may not be as they seem, young one. We must be cautious."

"How can we tell if this is the real world or the dream world wise one?"

+++ Kajeenith+++

It was the Real genuine wiorld. Libra was not the most powerful of feinds, and infact, was weaker than Pisces.

Little aldur was a God. but he was a Child as well. Like all children, he loved to run, and play, and do other childish things. Little aldur was on Hoeth, nowhere near the White Tower. A Dark Clouf developed and kajeenith emerged from it.

"well, well, well, so your the one who trapped me on Kamigawa for ten years. I'm imopressed. Not everybody can trap me somewhere." Kajeenith said

"Who, who are you, and why do you make me feel so, fearful?" Aldur cried.

He wanted his daddy, his mommy, his Uncle Leviathan, someone he knew he could trust to come rescue him.

"Aww, don't you trust me, your dear old uncle Kajeenith?" Kajeenith asks.

Aldur backs off, fear in his eyes. he didn't have an uncle Kajeenith.

"They never told you about me? I'm your father's brother, his Evil brother. My name is Kajeenith, and they call me the mad God of Darkness. They never let me come see you, was it too much to ask to see my Nephew?" Kajeenith asked.

Why wasn't anyone coming to rescue him?

"don't worry, no one even knows your here any more. I figured out a way to make my presence unknown. Mortals can't penetrate it, and Gods have great difficulty penetrating it. I know Leviathan his Psionic powers. If he was watching you, it seems as though you vanished elsewhere. I wouldn't even register, infact, I still seem to be on Kamigawa. No one can save you, no one knows where you went. I don't know where your Father ran away to like the Cowardly dog he is, but the Feinds have failed me. I'm going to get to them one way or another, and FORCE Warfare to come back looking for you, and I'll kill andone that tries to rescue you before then to." Kajeenith said.

"No, stay away from me." Aldur cried.

Kajeenith teleported to his side.

"Or what, you'll kick me, you'll use one of your half-pint powers on me? Get real kid, I'm not your teachers, who pretend to get hurt just to bolster your confidence. I'm not a nice man. If you don't come quietly, I will hurt you." Kajeenith threatened.

He grabbed Aldur by the Scruff of the Neck and disappeared.

Aldur was kidnapped, by Kajeenith.

Piekrom']"How can we tell if this is the real world or the dream world wise one?"
"Keep your mind open, for now. Watch for things that may not fit with reality... but I believe we are in the real world. Nevertheless, all must be cautious."
----------------
*Paradise*
Leviathan started as he flet what had happened to his adopted nephew,"No..."

Arianna came to the tower, and looked in each and every room.

"Aldur?" she called.

"Have you seen Aldur?" she asked many people worridly.

"Where did he go?" She asked.

Arianna came to the tower, and looked in each and every room.

"Aldur?" she called.

"Have you seen Aldur?" she asked many people worridly.

"Where did he go?" She asked.

Leviathan appeared,"Arianna...we need to talk. Now."

"Talk, but, then,... that means, no, not him, not his avatar, their suicidal, but," Arianna said, realising what exactly happened, unable to deny its truth any longer.

Arianna, already stressed to the utter limits with Warfare's continued absence, simply fainted. She couldn't handle losing the two most important people in her life. she began to topple over.

He caught her as she fell, and moved her to a patch of shaded grass beneath the boughs of an oak tree. He waved his hand, conjuring a simple glass of water, and forcing her to drink it, which is possible.

He then settled back to wait for her to wake up... to force her would only make matters worse.

Eventually, she wakes up.

"Oh, Leviathan. I had this awful dream that Warfare and aldur both were gone. Warfare to become better, Aldur kidnapped by Kajeenith. What an Awful dream huh? by the way, where are they?" she asks.

Oh boy...

"Arianna... I don't quite know how to tell you... but that was no dream."

Oh boy...

"Arianna... I don't quite know how to tell you... but that was no dream."
"No, its not real, it can't be. Kajeenith wouldn't dare kidnap Aldur, I'd forcibly kill him myself." Arianna said in the most pleasant manner.

"You are not a god of War, therefore you cannot see why this has happened. Kajeenith would do this, simply because he wishes to try and weaken us. There is no question on this matter, Arianna"

Arianna broke down into tears.

"But, Aldur's innocent, he's never done anyone harm." she sobbed.

"That's just the point. He's innocent... it's been used so many times it's become cliched."

He crouched next to her,"Trust me, we will find Aldur. I promise you that."

"I'm going with you, and you can't stop me. No one will stop me from going to my son, no one." Arianna said, an uncharacteristic quality of anger rising in her voice.

She stood up.

"I m,ay not have War, but I don't need it. I have the power of nature itself at my beck and call. Thus, i call the Ruler of the Skies, Master of the Wind, the most feared bird in history, I call upon a Roc to carry me." Arianna said with determination.

In response, a gigantic bird began decending from the sky, circling ever lower.

Arianna snapped, and looked exactly like an Amazon.

Fire burned in her eyes. she would have her son back.

OOC: You really need to work on your descriptive skills.

IC: He sighed,"Sit down. Right now, we have no idea where Aldur is. We need to know where he is before we go charging in. And we need more support. You cannot just stroll into an enemy fortress and expect to survive. On top of that, Kajeenith is older, and more powerful than you or I. Going in now will do no one any good."

"Oh, but that isn't the Real kajeenith, its his Avatar. Kajeenith is elsewhere, though where is not known. As for kajeenith fortress-temple, why not simply tople the entire thing in a massive earthquake." Arianna said, not quite realising that to do so would more than likely kill Aldur, and several innocent people in the process.

OOC: Sorry, not entirely awake yet.

"EXACTLY!"

Leviathan's voice bellowed, enough to stop the animals in the immediate vicinity moving through fear. He calmed down quickly,"If you don'ty know where he is, then you can't help. And, even if you did, collapsing the fortress would kill your son!"

"But, what do I do then. I want my son back now." Arianna said.

Suddenly it got Quite dark.

"Isn't this cute. Mommy wants her son." Kajeenith said in the most insulting manner he could produce.

"Well, I have him, and I'll kill him before the day is out if Warfare doesn't return to face me. Rather, the Zodiac feinds will kill him if Warfare doesn't come back. running away was uncharacteristicly cowardly of him." Kajeenith said.

He looked at Leviathan.

"And don't try to kill me child. We both know that if I were to die so would Aldur. So nice having loyal feinds." Kajeenith said.

Kajeenith grinned maniacly.

"Age has no meaning with regard to power," said Eldrad, whose energy signature was such that it was beyond many mortals... indeed, only Renor would have a greater one.

Leviathan nodded,"You and your fiends cannot hide forever."

"The Black Guardians are already searching for you, and they will find you before the day is out. The webway and the Black Libary hold no secrets"

I'm right here in front of you. You'll never find the Real me, unless you travel the sands of time, but even still, its too late.

Kajeenith faded away, laughing maniacly.

"Your searching for Aldur, thank you." Arianna said, enfolding Eldrad in a tght embrace, and planting a sound kiss on his cheek.
Then she did the same for Leviathan.

I'm sorry, but what the fuck is this?

OOC: Its painfully obvious your a N00b. This is not a good thing. We Eat n00bs for breakfast. Read this, and try again.

http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=408855

I'm sorry, but what the fuck is this?
OOC: Hold on, you keep popping into threads I'm in. Cut that out. I'm beginning to think you're stalking me.

A spectral sliver floated by on the breeze, and stopped.

"I don't wish to alarm anyone, however I must share what I know. We all know that I am dead, and can converse with other spirits. The spirits of dead slivers haunt Kamigawa only at lord Warfare's request. We go many places though, and even talk to the spirits of Kamigawa. It seems, that in the heart of Darkness, lies Aldur, deep within the heart of Kajeenith's most defensive Fortress-Temple yet. Fearful he lies, curled in a corner, while his evil uncle seeks to poison his young mind, and turn him to the path of darkness. More than that though, I do not know. though the Zodiac Feinds have been seen guarding Kajeenith's Temple." The spectral sliver said.

OOC: Or he could be stalking me...I'm in both these threads, even if my ability to be involved in this one has become limited.

But I think he's just spamming bigger threads.
OOC: *Hugs* You know you have a place here, always.

~snip~
Eldrad nodded his agreement,"I had heard as much. We must move quickly, but we cannot move without Warfare... although it might be possible. I can assemble a Black Guardian team to move in and rescue your son. We stand a higher chance of success than two gods, as we are less powerful and will not attract as much attention."

"Ahh, but a strong fighting God such as Leviathn you will need still, for the most feared of all Feinds, Serpantarus lies coiled around Kajeenith's Temple protectivly. Inside though, is still a mystery." The Sliver said.

"Go ahead and assemble your Black Guardsmen, if you like, i will even give you the Warhaven Paladins." Arianna said.

She thought about it, then said " Or the Elite Guard."

Loki wakled about the tower and its courtyards as he felt something wrong in the air. It felt cold to him as he wandered teh corridors. It felt like a battle was brewing...

"With all due respect, Madam, I do not rate the Paladins much for this type of rescue. They are more suited to the open battlefield... they would jepordise the mission. However, your suggestion for Leviathan to accompany us is a prudent move. Once my brethern are assembled, which will not take long, I will return."

With that, he dissapeared to summon those who could help them. The Black Guardians had been in charge of the protection of the Black Libary for time immemorial, and they were the most talented physkers of the Eldar race, all of them powerful, but none so much as Eldrad, their battle leader.

Artemis was aslightly shocked as the, to his eyes, stunning woman walked away from him. His eyes followed her swaying hips, before he snapped his gaze back.

He walked into the armourers.

Kamigawa awaited.

Artemis was aslightly shocked as the, to his eyes, stunning woman walked away from him. His eyes followed her swaying hips, before he snapped his gaze back.

He walked into the armourers.

"hey hey, your back." The Armorer said.

He went in the back, and brought out Artimese's Chainmail shirt, with Plates of Mithril woven in for added protection, yet keeping flexibility. It was folded, and sat inside a Mithril Helmet.

"9,000 GP, please." the Armorer said, proud of the exellent Quality he could produce.

He handed over the money

"I thought you said it would be 10,000, and thankyou very much."

He handed over the money

"I thought you said it would be 10,000, and thankyou very much."

"I purposly overestimate. Those that genuinly wish my services, will agree, and at the very kest, try to Haggle. Those that never really wanted them in the first place, Leave." The Armorer said.

The Armorer took the money, and handed the items back to Artimese.

"Artimese!" Tharivol called.

Teji pops up from the background were he seemed to be pretty much ignored. "If you want my planet can lend a couple dozen ninjas seeing as how you want stealth."

OOC: I was still talking to Eldrad how did he flip over to this other conversation. What I see is a hug given by Warheavens wife. Are you still in the tower? If not then this post is useless and I will delete it. I am usually gone during most of the weekend so I can not post that much during that time.

OOC: Well, first you two came back from the Dreamworld. While that was going on, Kajeenith's avatar, fed up with two consecutive failures by the Zodiac Fiends, came and kidnapped Aldur, knowing that us being the do-gooders we are, would attempt to come rescue him, thus putting us in his home territory, where he has the advantage, to, kill us, in a slow painful manner. Leviathan, who appearently was helping keeping an eye on Aldur, sensed his disappearence, and realised what was going on before Arianna, who only knew her son mysteriously disappeared. She hunted around the tower for him, and was near Eldrad, when Leviathan decended to inform Arianna of the truth, who, in typical motherly fashion, denied that something awful was happening to her son, and, with her clouded judgement, went on the warpath to destroy Kamigawa itself. Full of gratitude that someone was helping her, she bestowed a Hug and a kiss on Eldrad and Leviathan.

We never said Teji wasn't there, and since Snake really is better with Military matters than I am, I'll let him answer Teji's offer ICly.

And its Warfare, not Warheaven, Arianna is one of my Characters, not my Wife, though I do admit, it wouldn't complain if she was.

"How well do you understand fire, young Ichiro?"

OOC: I'm back.

IC: "Well," Ichiro said, "Do you mean what techniques I know or that one needs self-control to use it properly? Or do you refer to something else?"

OCC: Can't really think right now at 0430 hours.

Artemis walked over to Tharivol.

"Hello"

Piekrom']~snip~
OOC: It's called multi-tasking. Try it sometime.

IC: Eldrad looked over,"I am sorry, young one, but you cannot accompany me on this mission, nor can your ninjas. This is far beyond what you see... believe me when I say, it is better for you that you remain here. I will return, soon enough. But for now, keep yourself out of trouble"

He was surrounded by a group of Eldar, all of whom wore similar armour to himself ((This. Eldrad is the bottom left.[/url)),"We are ready to leave."

OOC: [url=http://uk.games-workshop.com/eldar/ulthwe-background/1/] - A little bit of history ( http://www.hillcity-comics.com/role_play/gw/eldar_seer_back.jpg - bottom left picture) on The Black Guardians and also a mention of Eldrad, so you know who he is. The image is him in one form of attack

Arianna stood up.

"I'm sorry Leviathan, I'm just not myself. I'm going to go to Riptide. I'll be waiting there." she said, she left.

The Ancestor sliver spoke up.

"Allow us, to send you to the heart of Darkness, let us open a causeway through the stars to Kamigawa, world of the spirits. But beware, those that live there, cannot be trusted, even some spirits have taken to evil ways. Kajeenith's influence is thick." The Sliver said.

Four more Specteral slivers appeared. All five combined into one large ball of Energy. As a great gate opening, so was the doorway to Kamigawa.

"We do this, not because you cannot, but because it is best for you to save your energy, hurry quickly, before the Dark Spirit notices you." The Slivers hissed.

The land beyond was desolate. the only sign of life was a town, at the center of which, was a large version of Kajeenith's Fortress-Temple. the sky was dark, partialy because the sun was setting, but mostly because a massive spirit hung in the sky, darkening the sky from horizon to horizon. A wooden sign stood nearby,someone had scrwaled upon it in blood:

"Welcome to Darkness, those who enter, NEVER return."

Sitting on top of it, was what was at one time, a common vulture, however time and Kajeenith's influence made it a much larger, preditory version.

Tharivol looked out towards the plains.

"Come then, we're finished. You can talk to Mooshie telepathicly, correct, good, then have him follow Freke and Gere to the Grove. Your first lessons will not involve him." Tharivol said.

Valanthe was already outside the city.

"Very well Eldrad. You would probably be able to see the best of all of us here what is involved so I shall respect your disision. In the mean time I shall gather what info I can on my magik so as to have something for you to work with when you come back best of luck to you."

"He will need some rest for now."

He put down the figurine and said some quiet words. The leopard was gone back onto his own world for now.

Artemis followed Tharivol.

Valanthe stepped outside of Warfare's city, and let out a Wolf call. It echoed accross the plains, and was picked up by Wolves at the base of the mountains in the distance, it would carry on, until puicked up by Freke and Gere.

Therivol looked around, and let the wind flow. he sniffed it, and looked in the distance.

"Come, to the north." he said.

He bean walking north, one eye on the ground, one ahead.

Aldur was huddled in one corner of Kajeenith's Sacrifice chamber.

"Why are you ding this, your not my Uncle, your just a mean man." Aldur asked as Kajeenith wiped fresh blood of his knife.

"Ahh, but I am. Why do i do this, to get back at that coward you call Father. We've been fighting since time imemorial, and now he's run away, why? because I took his powers away, by sacrificing your graqndfather, and becoming one with the Darkness. Now he cowers with the Avatars, avoiding his destiney. But I'm no fool, he won't come after you, he doesn't love you enough. If he did, wouldn't he be here now, to rescue you? no, I'll tell you who's going to come, Levianthan, and that Eldar, Eldrad. Maybe they'll come with others, maybe they won't. I don't know for sure, not that it matters, Serpantarus, the thirteenth Feind of the Zodiac protects my Fortress. He defeated Ophicus, he can defeat anyone." Kajeenith said.

"But why me?" Aldur whimpered.

"Ahh, the whimperings of innocence, remind me to remove that from you before they rescue you, because they will. Despite all his power, the Zodiac feinds will fall, their to new, and Serpantarus, is to old. I will fight too, and I will fall, but that is simply a distraction from my real plans. I've been moving slowly, carefully. ten years is plenty of time, to plan the chess game. Only I'm the only one who can move the peices. I've known do-gooders like Leviathan for a long time. You want to know his main weakness? He cares. I wonder though, how they'll react, when the next peices are moved. I've manipulated Kamigawa very carefully, studied its powers. I'll be gone, but the next move cannot be avoided. Next time, Innocents will die, no matter what. Even still, I've done my Role, Avatars are useful as distractions. Even now, I near HIM. How unobservant of Time magi to not notice me, to not try to stop me. You see Aldur, The ends justifies the means, I may have lowered myself to Dark God status, but Everyone will forgive me, once they learn that the seal was weakening. Warfare never seemed to notice, but the Darkness, it whipered to me, told me the truth, showed me the signs. The seal is weakening, and as the only true son of Yore, I'm the only one that can fix it. Only it required the souls of people, Life aqnd Death, working in unison, Good and Evil, Cooperating through need, Law and Chaos, bringing growth to all. The Seal IS the Balance. The Seal is the Balance, But they don'ty know that, they stand in my way, the mages of the white Tower, they try to stop me, calling me Evil. Warfare's stood in my Way for countless years, I get close to victory, to sealing in the inevitable, to stoping it, and he takes away my power to do so. You care, about Creation, do you not? you want to see it succeed, don't you? You say your Father cares, but he regularly has speed up the end of all things all his life. Look around you, you know it to be True. Mortals like your Grandmother come and go, but stars are forever, yet do they not die every day? Do not planets slowly falter, and cease to support life? look at SOL, at the Rate the Mortals are abusing it, do you really think it'll last another thousand Mortal years? The Multiverse itself continues to expand without ceasing. Yet, the further it spreads, the thinner its energy, the weaker its ability to support life. That's why I have had to do what I do, to prevent the end of all things. The Ends justifies the Means, and Creation will forgive me for slaughtering countless millions, knowing it was to save Creation. I regret it daily, and not a day goes by, when I don't have nightmares about what I have done. I didn't kidnap you to weaken them, I took you, because this is my only chance to show you the truth, before they cloud your judgement, with their Morals, their virtues. You need to decide for yourself, side for yourself, Death is nothing. Death is temporary, but at least Dead, you still exist. If you take no action, than you allow all things to cease to be." Kajeenith said, poisoning Aldur's mind.

"But, everyone says your bad. They all say you want the complete dominion, and eventual destruction of Creation." Aldur said.

"Aldur, would you rather be popular, or Right? Right or wrong, you have to make your own decision, you have to choose for yourself. I can see it in your eyes, they never told you anything, They, lied to you Aldur. I've told you the Truth of things, I've shown you the otherside of the story, something Warfare would never dare dream of. I want you to be your own man. Tell me Aldur, do you want to take after someone who would willingly destroy Creation, or someone that would save it, at the expense of all things?" Kajeenith asked.

"Someone who would save all things." Aldur said.

"Then why do you fight against me, if all I've ever done, was for the benifit of Creation? why do you continue to side with your father, if all he's ever done, is bring misery and Anguish to others." Kajeenithasked.

"You lie, he's never brought Misery and Anguish to others." Aldur said.

"Me? Lie? why would I lie? Before your Father, the slivers were peaceful Creatures. Did anyone ever bother to mention, that it was your father, who tortured and twisted the Slivers into what they are now? Did he tell you that it was his own experiments that made Slivers? Did anyone ever tell you that he killed his first son, an upstanding individual, simply because he dared to stand up for his beliefs, in defience against your father. Did anyone ever tell you, that he could have found Gypsy anytime he wanted, because even Arianna knows, that the bond between Parent and child is so strong, that even Mortal parents can always tell where their children are, and Gods have great powers. He had the ability to find, her, but he didn't, why? because he profited from Slaves himself. And then theirs you, what's next, is he going to kill you for standing up for your beliefs? Is he going to sell you into slave labor maybe? or maybe he's going to experiment on you, for his benifit. What have i done to you so far? Talked to you, where we wouldn't be interupted. But soon, your mother will be here to get you. Oh yes, Arianna, his second wife. Warfare was married once before, but he let his first wife die, because he didn't want to sacrifice a little of himself, to save her, the cure involved nothing more than sharing a peice of his soul with her, temporarily. But no, he watched her lay there and die." Kajeenith said.

"I'm, I'm sorry, Uncle Kajeenith, I didn't mean to." Aldur tried to say.

"Its alright, son. Tell me, what attention has your father paid you in the ten or so years you've been alive?" Kajeenith asked.

"some, but mostly he moped about because he was losing his powers." Aldur said, a little upset.

"I tell you what, why don't we go play ball? surely you like to play ball." Kajeenith said.

Aldur's face lighted up immediatly.

Kajeenith smiled, a dark, hidden smile. Children were so easy to fool.

Eldrad took the Black Guardians, and Leviathan, through the portal, which sealed behind them,"We must move quickly. If Aldur is left with Kajeenith too long, he will be manipulated... and we loose him."

"I will not let my nephew fall to the Dark Gods"

"ANd he won't, but you must trust me. I am older than I say... to reveal true age would be to reveal all about my past. Simply be assured that I will do what I can... my powers are fair greater than many mortals would know. Black Guardians, fan out, and move across the plains. One of them looked at the mutated vulture, and shook his head sadly,"You should be free... but you are not. I am sorry."

They moved towards the walls of the city, a force all dressed in black. The Seer Council, the most powerful physkers in the known universe bar none, moved quickly, their age not slowing them down. With them stood Leviathan, incensed with what Kajeenith was trying to do. He would make sure that Kajeenith's power would be destroyed, for all time. That time might not be now, but it would come...

The citizenry fled. They knew that people not like them, not in rags, not poor, and miserable, they brought pain. suffering, and death. no one wanted to die.


"Look Aldur, tell me, where is your Father, where is Warfare now? I do not see him among those coming to save you. You see it with your own eyes. Your father does not love you enough to come rescue you. Your mother only bothers to send Leviathan after you. What of him, do you really think Leviathan cares? What's in it for him? I don't know, but your mother has been alone for a long, miserable time. Why would Leviathan rescue someone not even related to him, if he wasn't going to get something in Return? I've told you only truth, you have to decide for yourself, who your going to believe. Me? or those who don't even care enough to come themselves?" Kajeenith said.

"Grandmaa will come get me." Aldur said, hopefully.

"Grandma? Grandma? Her? do you even say any kaymirilian's in there? do you see any effort from Grandma at all?" Kajeenith asked.

"No." Aldur said forlorn and feeling alone. What, was he alone? he was confused. He loved his mother and father, he loved Uncle Leviathan, he loved Grandma, but, Kajeenith told him all those things. He was lost, confused. He needed some help. He neded someone to lead the way.

Kajeenith was right, he had to decide for himself. He had to make his own decisions.

"Are you really my Uncle?" Aldur asked.

"Yes, I really am your Uncle. The only reason you were never told, is because everyone else is too ashamed of themselves to tell you, afraid you'd come learn the Truth." Kajeenith said.

Truth, that was all Aldur wanted.

"Uncle Kajeenith, will you tell me some more Truth, just until Uncle Leviathan gets here of course." Aldur said.

"Oh, of course" What did you want to know?" Kajeenith asked warmly.

*********************************************************

"Yes, Leave, its the best thing. If the Kamigawans fail to even try to stop Kajeenith, we'll show them the true meaning of pain, and it'll all be the White towers fault, for even trying to rescue Aldur. Lord Kajeenith thinks somethiong will happen then." Serpantarus said.

The rest of the feinds nodded, and vanished.


Serpantarus coiled tighter around Kajeenith's tower, and faced Leviathan and the Black Guardians, head on.

No one but Serpantarus would even attempt to face the Black Guardians.

OOC: Serpantarus, is for Eldrad and the black Guardians. ICly, it would make sense, for Leviathan to save himself for Kajeenith.

Six mages, cloaked in black and shadow, appeared around the Black Guardians.

Power seemed to flow through and around them like air...and then it quieted.

Serpantarus looked ahead. he hissed, it echoed accross the city.

"Ssso, you come for the prizzze, yet it hidessss in the heart of darknesssssss. Run, run for your livesss, for Sssserpantarussss, Greatesssst of all feindssss, sssseekssss your very ssssoul." came the words, echoing accross the city.

Serpantarus uncoiled from Kajeenith's Temple-fortress, and slithered rather quickly down the lane to the travelers, circling around them, and indiscriminatly killing many Kamigawans in the process. he stood well above them all.

He looked at them all, he had killed many before, now would be no diffrent.

Serpantarus was all Lime Green. he was muscley, with great fangs.

"I am Ssserpantarusss, the thirteenth feind of the Zzzodiac. I was before Ptolmy'sss time, at the beginning of the zzzodiac. I have defeated the ssssnake wrestler Ophinicussss, defeating a god and a few mortalssss will be no diffrent." Serpantarus said.

He hissed a great hiss, everyone, would feel great presure, like a massive Boa constrictor, crushing them to death.

The one in the lead sighed.

"Like we've never heard that threat before."

The voice was androgynous, and he seemed to have less power than the others...but he walked like a person to be contended with.

Fashka shifted around the group as one or more of these new mages counteracted Serpantus's attack.

While the battle was going on Teji was in the tower library trying to find anything that might help him discover what type of magik he posesed.

OOC: A little help with this please if I will find the book or not that is.

Loki, being ignored by the remaining mages at the tower, decided that if he wasn't being taught by a master, he might as well attempt to teach himself.

After exploring the tower for several days, he had finally memorized the lay out and was easily able to find his way to the library. He began searching for some books and had soon had a stack that nearly blocked his eyes (not a hard task as he is only 3'3").

*Adaine's face was grey and there were shadows under his eyes as he attempted to find anything that would save his region from genocide.*

Serpantarus let out a giggly hiss.

the force of the pressure increased, counteracting the mages counteraction. It would take more than just the mages to stop serpantarus.

He began to physically coil around them all, crushing them to death, not only with Magick,but with his muscles. His scales were as Plate Armor. Weapons would have a diffiicult time harming him.

OOC: well I sort of do not know were to start. I have no idea what type of magik I want to do. All that I know is that I want to do all that is involved with spirit in the older five element system.

"Seer Council, you know what to do. Leviathan, leave us. Prevent the corruption of the innocent."

Eldrad smiled grimly as he felt the power he had wielded for so many centuries flow through him at it's full potential once more. No longer was his energy hidden under a guise, but now fully exposed to the universe. His Black Guardians, all of them powerful physkers in their own right, funneled their energy together to form a power like no other,"Serpantarus, your time in this world is up. None have ever attempted to stop the Seer Council and succeeded in their efforts. We fought in the Horus Heresy, the Black Crusades... everything you can imagine, we have had a hand in it. We navigate the infinate streams of time... and every option leads to your demise. It is... ineveitable. Release the mages, and face the power of the Immaterium."

The attack shot from all of them, the warp lightning crackling blue as it shimmered in the air, striking at the coiled serpent fiend in front of them,"Relent now, and we help make it quick."
------------------------------------
Leviathan took this chance to get as close as he dared to the fortress, trying to find a way inside... he needed to stop Kajeenith before he corrupted Aldur... a child like that would be dangerous if he turned.

Artemis followed Tharivol, wandering where they were going.

Piekrom']OOC: well I sort of do not know were to start. I have no idea what type of magik I want to do. All that I know is that I want to do all that is involved with spirit in the older five element system.

ooc: You can ask Loki for some help. He isn't a master wizard/mage or a teacher, but he is in the library studying and he does know a little.

"Seer Council, you know what to do. Leviathan, leave us. Prevent the corruption of the innocent."

Serpantarus let out a pained hiss.

"I will never ccceassse. I am inssscribed upon the very ssstarsss themssselvesss. I will make sssure you are remembered for your brave but futile effortsss." Serpantarus hissed.

He manuvered himself to face Eldrad, and bore down upon him, mouth open wide, to swallow Eldrad whole.

Kajeenith's Temple-Fortress.

"Well, it looks like my fight has come. Farewell Aldur, Leviathan will be by after bit." Kajeenith said.

He left the Room, only to find a much older Aldur, much more powerful Aldur, waiting for him. This Aldur scared Kajeenith. This Aldur wore little Armor, and had a frightning sword. This Aldur's eyes burned with indescriminate Evil.

"No, Father Kajeenith, do not go. I am from one possible future, the future I prefer. In my Future, you did not die, for I saved you with my fledgling powers. However, a fatal wound gained during the battle became your undoing. I will stop that, I will alter the future. In my Future, I slayed many Gods, Gods of all kinds, I even killed my own father, the only one who stood in my way, was Beldragos, but this, this will alter everything, I have veiwed all timelines, I know what will come of this, and I await my glorius unversal Empire. Thank you, father, thank you for showing me the Truth. Now return to my Younger self, and wait for me." Dark Aldur said.

Kajeenith was stunned. wordlessly, he returned to the room he just came from.

________________________________________________________________

A common harmless fly was buzzing around Leviathan, for no appearent reason, it just stopped, the clouds roling accross the sky, stopped. People fleeing in terror just froze in place. Everything just stopped, The temple seemd to be lowering, until Leviathan found himself atop the Temple.

The Tower seemed to stretch into the sky for eternity, and it did. The temple top was flat, yet the loft spires, and wall seemed to be three times as big as they were before.

In the center, stood a person that would surely strike fear and sorrow into Leviathan's heart, Dark Aldur.

"well, well, well. If it isn't Leviathan, Uncle Leviathan. Out of them all, you were the most, rewarding, to kill. You were a specter of my old self. Not even Warfare presented as much challenge. However, I have to alter the future, you were the direct reason Father Kajeenith died. I won't let you kill him. I know why your here, you don't want Kajeenith to tell me any more Truth. He was the only one of you who ever told me any truth, the only one. Others tried rescuing me as well, but I couldn't tolerate their lies. Father Kajeenith isn't evil, its you that's the Evil one. Now you must pay for your sins, and die on the edge Darkness, take comfort knowing you will die alone." Aldur said. he raised his sword, and saluted his old Uncle one last time.

OOC: It is impossible for any outside agent to interfere. The only three that can participate in this are Leviathan, Dark Aldur, and one other that will become clear momentarily. This is also the key focus of Aldur's rescue. If Leviathan falls, Aldur turns. But don't worry about Leviathan, I wouldn't leave him in such an unfair position.

Serpantarus let out a pained hiss.

"I will never ccceassse. I am inssscribed upon the very ssstarsss themssselvesss. I will make sssure you are remembered for your brave but futile effortsss." Serpantarus hissed.

He manuvered himself to face Eldrad, and bore down upon him, mouth open wide, to swallow Eldrad whole.
Different forms of magickal blades ran themselves through the serpent, many forming from within the belly of the beast and expanding outward.

The lead mage ((Renor)) raised his hand, and dark tendrils of energy wrapped themselves around Serpantarus's head, squeezing to closing his mouth.

Artemis followed Tharivol, wandering where they were going.

After a few hours, they city was gone, and they were completly surrounded by miles upon miles of empty wilderness.

It was a broad green plain, a littly hilly, but it was pretty.
"Welcome, to your first classroom." Tharivol said.

"I'm going to teach you many things, and help you increase your bow and arrow, sword, and even shooting skills. All this, while showing you the basics of wilderland survival, knowing what tracks belong to what, where each creature usually dwells, and keeping nature in balance. You will learn what is safe to eat, and what is not. But this is for one planet, there are many planets, but there is also a common theme, among all things in nature, that, is what you must learn." Tharivol said.

Suddenly anouther figure entered the tower he was an elf coming to the tower from Teji's home planet. Teji happened to be by the Library window and saw him. He instantly went down to great his old freind. The new comer greeted Teji with a hug and a pat on the back. They seperated and the elf then said, "Well Teji it has been a while. The council sent me here to give you this book about the basics of our magik that we happened to find. Most of it has become illegible over the years but there is still some good info. Well I must return to the council dear freind. Make sure you get some knowledge from them so as to prevent any problems from arising on our planet." With that he hands the book to Teji then creates a gate with his watch and returns to Misra.

Loki had gathered up numerous books on magic ranging from the basics to more complicated acts, and had taken them over to a table. Setting them down in a pile, he took his seat and noticed the pile went far over his head.

He began sifting through the books he had collected to find one to start with. He opened a reference book of magic and set it to the side for future use. Next he found a small book on the basics of magic and began skimming it quickly to see if there was anything he needed to remember about the basics.

When he set it down he noticed a pair of trolls conversing before one left and the other went back to searching for books.

Loki shoved his nose back into the books and began reading a more advanced book of magic.

Serpantarus let out a pained hiss.

"I will never ccceassse. I am inssscribed upon the very ssstarsss themssselvesss. I will make sssure you are remembered for your brave but futile effortsss." Serpantarus hissed.

He manuvered himself to face Eldrad, and bore down upon him, mouth open wide, to swallow Eldrad whole.

Kajeenith's Temple-Fortress.

"Well, it looks like my fight has come. Farewell Aldur, Leviathan will be by after bit." Kajeenith said.

He left the Room, only to find a much older Aldur, much more powerful Aldur, waiting for him. This Aldur scared Kajeenith. This Aldur wore little Armor, and had a frightning sword. This Aldur's eyes burned with indescriminate Evil.

"No, Father Kajeenith, do not go. I am from one possible future, the future I prefer. In my Future, you did not die, for I saved you with my fledgling powers. However, a fatal wound gained during the battle became your undoing. I will stop that, I will alter the future.

Thank you, father, thank you for showing me the Truth. Now return to my Younger self, and wait for me." Dark Aldur said.

Kajeenith was stunned. wordlessly, he returned to the room he just came from.

________________________________________________________________

A common harmless fly was buzzing around Leviathan, for no appearent reason, it just stopped, the clouds roling accross the sky, stopped. People fleeing in terror just froze in place. Everything just stopped, The temple seemd to be lowering, until Leviathan found himself atop the Temple.

The Tower seemed to stretch into the sky for eternity, and it did. The temple top was flat, yet the loft spires, and wall seemed to be three times as big as they were before.

In the center, stood a person that would surely strike fear and sorrow into Leviathan's heart, Dark Aldur.

"well, well, well. If it isn't Leviathan, Uncle Leviathan. Out of them all, you were the most, rewarding, to kill. You were a specter of my old self. Not even Warfare presented as much challenge.

OOC: It is impossible for any outside agent to interfere. The only three that can participate in this are Leviathan, Dark Aldur, and one other that will become clear momentarily. This is also the key focus of Aldur's rescue. If Leviathan falls, Aldur turns. But don't worry about Leviathan, I wouldn't leave him in such an unfair position.

"But the stars die out... they burn out, and fizzle into nothingness. Now is that time, fiend!"

Eldrad was thankful to the mages for halting the mouth from engulfing him, and instead lept lightly onto the head of the fiend, his wraithbone sword crackling with the power of the Warp. He moved with the grace of one who was far younger than they claimed.. perhaps two, maybe two and a half, centuries old at the most. Beneath his armour, he smiled the deadly smile, plunging the blade downwards into the head of the beast...
------------------------------------
Leviathan was not filled with fear... but he was filled with sorrow. He knew instantly that this was not Aldur of the present, but one of the future... but the future was not set. It never was, really. There were only limited futures, limited choices... but there was still an element of chance,"You are a fool. I will not salute one who is so corrupted. Maybe you did kill me... but that was then. This is now. You will not be able to defeat me... simply because I am better than you ever could be. You are a stain on time... and I will erase that stain."

His armour hardened, his head still exposed, and he drew the two blades from his waist. Two blades are better than one he thought as he set himself into battle position, the Black Flame burning around him,"Come on then. If you think you can defeat me, young one, then I dare you to try."

Serpantarus let out one final hiss, and died, but was not yet defeated.

He went through convulsions, wiping out most of the town in the process. as he convulsed, he shrivled, but as well, a lethel mist was released. it drifted through houses, and they fell apart, it drifted through the carnivourus vulture, and it fell off it fell apart, blood going everywhere. The ground shrivled and died. Innocent people shrivled and died, and it was upon Eldrad and the mages.

________________________________________________________________

"So then, Die. Old fool." Dark Aldur said.

Time then seemed to shudder, as Aldur ripped every second in half, LEviathan existing only in one half of each second, Aldur, existing only in the other. Leviathan could not see or feel Aldur, could not sense him in any fashion, but then the same was true for Aldur. They no longer existed for Each other.

Suddenly, Leviathan would feel something driving him back against the wall, but nothing was there, or was it? Aldur was unnaturally fast, he used time magick to speed himself up greatly. The second he split the timeline in half, he ran straight at Leviathan, to pin him against the wall, and kill him on the protrouding spikes.

OOC: Its like being Blind, and memorizing where something was, so it was with aldur, he ran straight for where Leviathan was, using time magick to speed himself up to the point that he would be at the place where leviathan is, a split second after he split the timeline in half tp blind Leviathan from seeing him. But then again like i said, Aldur is just as blind.

"Seers, seal your helmets. It cannot penetrate the ancient magick of the Eldar!"
---------------------
"I know you are there, Aldur. And if you wish to die, so be it!" roared Leviathan, fighting back. Aldur may have been fast, but he was no Wargod. He could not truly fight,"You are a coward, relying on your magick to guide you. You dare not face me in true battle."

He lashed out, knowing that Aldur would have to be hit.

Aldur was hit indeed.

"This seems remarkably unfair. The Integrity of the STC must be presefved at ALL COSTS. Where we elsewhere, I would fight you myself, however, neither of us wishes for our younger self to die, thus I will aid Uncle Leviathan, and prevent his untimly death at your hands." said a new voice. the Timeline was restored to normal. Aldur was bleeding from the shoulder.

A second Aldur, one garbed in Gold and silver clothing, stood off to one side.

This one seemd gentle, and peaceful.

"In my Future, I neither helped nor hindered uncle Kajeenith, thus both his Avatar, and the real one wandering the elemental Plane of Time died before anything could happen, Father seemed remarkably relieved about it, but he was never quite the same afterwards, it was as though he lost apart of himself when his brother died. We unmade Kajeenith, I banished him from Creation. I'm in my Middle ages now, I only recently learned of your treachery accross the possible timelines, so I came back to stop you, however I cannot directly interfere, to do so would be to kill my younger self. So I must ask you, uncle Leviathan, to do what I cannot, kill my Dark self immediatly." Aldur said.

Dark Aldur scowled at Good Aldur, but realised the truth of his words, knowing he could not touch him.

He used another time spell to quickly heal himself.

"No matter, I will still win." Dark Aldur said.

Good Aldur waved a single gloved hand, and hastened Leviathan up to the point everything was a blur, thus making him twice as fast as Dark Aldur.

Arianna fainted. Gypsy rushed to her side.

"My son. I feel he is in Mortal peril." Arianna sobbed.

"Don't worry mother, it will soon be alright." Gypsy said consolingly.

Leviathan, his speed increased, had a small problem dealing with it,What is it with these guys? Can't people just fight straight out instead of talking all this nonsense about space and time? Stupid question really.

Teji then took his book reentered the library and sat down to study it. He soon found out that his planets magic consisted of four matter elements without opposites and several energy element that come in pairs. The first four elements, the matter elements, were earth, water, air, and plasma. The four energy elements that were still legible were of light and darkness, heat= fire and ice, electricity, and Spirit. Spirit remained undefined as anything as of yet. When Eldrad came back he would talk to him about it.

Dark Aldur glared at good Aldur, then then went for a quick thrust between the ribs.

Leviathan blocked the blow with one blade, his elbow coming forward to strike Aldur across the head.

Dark Aldur cheated, and twisted space so that the Elbow would miss him.


Dark Aldur decided to Trip Leviathan, and should that succeed, he would then thrust his blade straight through Leviathan's neck.

Leviathan tripped, and rolled,"You are weaker than I thought."

He came straight back up, slashing the blade across Aldur's cheek.

Artemis sat down and looked around at the wide open fields.

"On the planet with the White Tower on it, I know much about plants and animals, because I was a forester for most of my life, and my parents often had to go out and hunt beastmen. It is now only me, but my father taught me some tricks before he died.

However, you are right, I know nothing of other world's species"

Leviathan tripped, and rolled,"You are weaker than I thought."

He came straight back up, slashing the blade across Aldur's cheek.


"oh yeah, well watch this." Dark Aldur said.

The space around Leviatahn became constricted so that Leviathan could not move. Dark Aldur then twisted space so that no matter where Leviathan teleported, he would end up in the same spot.

Light Aldur smiled, and was able to untwist it enough to end up right behind Dark Aldur, funny thing of it was, Dark Aldur's back was vulnerable, due to his own twisting of space.

Artemis sat down and looked around at the wide open fields.

"On the planet with the White Tower on it, I know much about plants and animals, because I was a forester for most of my life, and my parents often had to go out and hunt beastmen. It is now only me, but my father taught me some tricks before he died.

However, you are right, I know nothing of other world's species"

"Well then, lets go find a Vizzerdrix, its nearly time for dinner." Tharivol said.

"weapons, weapons" *Fingal muttered as he passed Loki and Tejj without looking at them, he was so focused on his task*

"Huh?" Loki said as he looked up from his book entitled Wizards and Warlocks of History and he heard someone mutter "Weapons, Weapons" as they passed by him.

*Loki's huh had penetrated Fingal thinking, and given him a massive shock, and dropping his books*

Loki had nearly gone back to his reading before he heard a crash. He looked up again and saw the same person, though this time he was standing over a pile of strewn books.

Hopping down from his seet, Loki walked over to the person and looked up at him, "Did I cause that? I am sorry. Let me help," he said as he bent over and began picking up as many books as he could - though that wasn't very many due to his small size.

An Imp buzzed through the Library. It circled the pair a couple times seeing if they were going to leave the books or if they were still using them. After seeing their intrest in the books, it flew off into another part of the Library.





OOC: :)

Imps in this case are extensions of Galvenor's Will. They take care of the Library and it's contents. Think of them as his thoughts make physical and set upon a task. In another Forum, I claimed the Smilies were my Imps recording everything that was going on so it was documented in the Library somewhere on the shelves. Please consider the same is going on here too.

If you want something to be documented in the Library place an Imp :) in the IC posting area to mark it as being written in the Library. Please refrain from using too many (one will do) and keep the stupid ones out of it.

"oh yeah, well watch this." Dark Aldur said.

The space around Leviatahn became constricted so that Leviathan could not move. Dark Aldur then twisted space so that no matter where Leviathan teleported, he would end up in the same spot.

Light Aldur smiled, and was able to untwist it enough to end up right behind Dark Aldur, funny thing of it was, Dark Aldur's back was vulnerable, due to his own twisting of space.

Sometimes, this whole twisting of space thing can be handy thought Leviathan, not waiting a second as he loosed off a blast of Black Flame, the column of fire burrowing through the air.

Dark Aldur screamed. he turned to stsb Leviathan, but Good aldur twisted space to where he would end up killing himself. Dark Aldur fell, and his Coprpe burned to nothing. Time began to flow properly again, and the confines of the roof were lifted.

Good Aldur hopped down and walked over to Leviathan.

"Thank you. While you may not understand while Space and Time had to become involved, please believe me, it was important. Now, you have five minuets left to rescue me before Uncle Kajeenith sacrifices me to his Dark powers. Follow the Blood, if it splits down more than one trail, then the path you follow does not matter. I restore you to full health and energy, using thousand years restore, if only non-Time Gods could cast it, ah well. I ask, only two favors.

One, never tell anyone what happened here, somethings are better off left unsaid.

Secondly, give this Scroll to Aldur, it'll help more than you know." good Aldur said. He gave Leviathan a scroll, and disappeared to his own time. Meanwhile, Leviathan would be restored, as though a thousand years of Peace had passed.

A single door swung open, seemingly of its own accord.

"Enter enter, little Godlet, if your brave enough to face the mad God of Darkness." Said a voice in a rather insulting manner.

Leviathan rolled his eyes at this so-called insult of the voice, not bothering to reply. He sheathed the blades, and felt his energy swelling. He rubbed the muscles in his neck, which were stiff from the recent fight, and walked straight through the door without hesitation.

"Welcome to my world Leviathan. I'll be generous and give you five minuets to find me, before I Outright kill Aldur, but beware, the Halls will twist, the halls will turn, This place wasn't designed to keep people out, it was designed to keep people in." Kajeenith's voice said. His voice echoed down every hallway. A blood splattered door sat among three regular doors.

"And through the bloodied door I go," said Leviathan, pushing it aside and continuing onwards.

He was in the same spot he was in just a second ago, only this time, a trail of blood ran to the left.

"This is indeed less of a challenge than a stroll in the park," he said aloud, following the trail of blood.

12 diffrent bolts of lightning struk out at Leviathan.

"Hah, you haven't even seen anything yet." Kajeenith said.

The trail lead to a mirror, a horrible mirror, a terrible mirror.

At first it showed only Leviathan's reflection, then it changed, and Leviathan saw his own followers down below, begging for mercy from his terrible tortures.

Leviathan saw himself laughing and torturing his own people in cruel and unusual ways, and then in answer to their mercy pleas, killing them. Worst of all, was that the Mirror forced a feeling of enjoyment and fascination into Leviathan, and the longer he stood there and watched, the stronger it would become, until finally, consumed by the Images in the mirror, Leviathan really would turn on his own people, and bring the images to reality.

"Cheap tricks, however convincing, are still cheap. Only the weak can be swayed so easily."

Leviathan's fist shot out, connecting solidly with the mirror. It didn't matter if he got hurt... he could heal well enough.

The Mirror was never really there in the first place. Kajeenith laughed, and opened the door for Leviathan with his will, however what was beyond was worse than watching the Mirror.

Beyond were cages, some sticking out of the wall, some suspended from the ceiling, some either sitting on the floor, or jutting up from beneath it. The entire Floor was covered in blood, as was every single door.

Inside the cages though, were Innocent victims, each one horribly maimed and mutilated for Kajeenith's pleasure.


"I've done what I've done for the good of all, The ends will justify the Means. I'm not Evil, yet my actions are." Kajeenith said.

"Please, have Mercy, spare us from the Mad God's Pleasures." Begged a child that was missing four fingers, an Arm, an eye, and had horrible scars all over his body. He was begging for the sweet release of Death, something Kajeenith promised, but rarely granted.

Teji was so engrossed in the book that his homeland sent him that he barley noticed what was going on. He had recently discovered that spirit one of the most dominant forces of the ancients apparently held control over the life force of all creatures. Allowing control over plants animals and other life forms. It could also apparently read the future and past of anything with life in it.

The Mirror was never really there in the first place. Kajeenith laughed, and opened the door for Leviathan with his will, however what was beyond was worse than watching the Mirror.

Beyond were cages, some sticking out of the wall, some suspended from the ceiling, some either sitting on the floor, or jutting up from beneath it. The entire Floor was covered in blood, as was every single door.

"Please, have Mercy, spare us from the Mad God's Pleasures." Begged a child that was missing four fingers, an Arm, an eye, and had horrible scars all over his body. He was begging for the sweet release of Death, something Kajeenith promised, but rarely granted.

Leviathan was appalled at Kajeenith's actions... it was a moral dilemma on the nth degree. To kill them was something that they desired more than anything... just a release. But... it felt too much like murder. And, to kill them all would take time. He sighed, and raised a hand,"May the ones higher than myself forgive me for what I must do."

He felt the power rush to his hand, and siphoned it out, just enough to kill each one. He had no choice... he had to find Aldur. And they wanted to die... they had begged him for it.

*Kajeenith, I'm only in Warhaven to watch S.E.'s war too.*

The peopleall died with a sigh of sweet relief.

It was up to Leviathan as to which Blood stained door he entered.

"Ahh, isn't that cute, giving them mercy by killing them in Cold Blood, they never wronged you." Kajeenith said with a sneer.

"Uncle Levy, help me!" little Aldur begged.

Unlike Kajeenith, Aldur's voice seemed to come from behind the blood stained door on the Left.

Leviathan ignored what Kajeenith said, and forced his way through the door to his left... it was the best shot.

*Kajeenith.*

Leviathan found himself face to face with a Temple inside Kajeenith's fortress. Blood trickled freely down the walls, and onto the floor. Leviathan would be standing in an Inch of it. It was the absolute center of all of Kajeenith's dark and terrifying powers. Leviathan's very soul seemed to be tugged at by the Temple itself, as though it were collecting souls and power for something, or someone, else. Without warning, all the Souls, and all the blood reversed, and ran up the central spire, and disappeared. Where it went, was unclear. A pair of great Oaken doors stood facing Leviathan, and they were painted with the blood of Warfare, Kajeenith's brother.

"Uncle Levy help, he's going to kill me." Aldur screamed in terror from just inside.

"You know, Kajeenith, you may as well give up now," roared Leviathan, placing his hands on the great oak doors and blowing them apart with a single blast,"Because when I'm done, you'll wish you had."

Kajeenith had Aldur by the throat.

"Now we're going to be Real calm like here, you see? cause if you make one false move, Aldur dies, then your attempt to rescue him will have been in vain. Now your going to do EXACTLY, what I tell you. Our Aldur Dies. NO ONE, is going to stop me. NO one. Not even you." Kajeenith said.

Aldur's Anti'magick necklace was gone. his powers flowing rapidly. with a sudden twitch, he teleported the Black Mages that came from Kaymiril, Eldrad, and his Black Guards to the Tower.

"You little Brat." Kajeenith hissed. He threw Aldur against a wall, and prepared to defend himself, because, strangely enough, Aldur ensured that Kajeenith was completly surrounded, and face to face with Leviathan. Kajeenith's powers surged, and Lights dimmed. He brought out his sword, the sacrifice, and was ready for anything. His Armor gleemed in the Dim light.

"Oh please, this is pointless. You're surrounded. You cannot hope to escape. Give up now, and I'll make it quick."

Renor motioned to one of his mages, who grabbed young Aldur and teleported them both to the Valshanth, just outside of the Valsharess's office. He knocked, opened the door, and sent Aldur in to wait out the duration with his grandmother.

Meanwhile, the other Black Class Mages prepared various spells of both offensive and defensive natures. Renor himself siphoned fashka from Kajeenith and prepared to use it against him.

"eheh. Now I'll show you why you'll never be an Elder God, Leviathan." Kajeenith sneered.

A low Rumble began deep within the Depths of Kajeenith's Temple fortress, and slowly escalated to the top. The Building itself wouldn't collapse, but it was indeed, Kajeenith's first action, and it was against his own people.

The Souls of Dead Kamigawan's flowed into Kajeenith, and with their power, initiated the Dark Energy. It was a massive group attack on everyone, stealing their energy. As for Leviathan Kajeenith moved Quick as a wink, and slashed hard as he possibly could accross Leviathan's chest, which was hard indeed.

The armour held fast,"I don't need to be an Eldar God, Kajeenith. I'm already more powerful than you could ever be."

One of the Kaymirilian mages deflected the attack easily, and Renor sent out his attack.

It was a spell designed to damage or even destroy gods if they got out of hand, and it went for Kajeenith's side, trying to burrow into him.

A spell of seemingly higher-energy than Renor's went for Kaj's head.
________________________________________
Valsharess Kaymiril VII contacted Arianna to let her know that Aldur was with her, and safe.

Arianna wept with sweet Relief.

Kajeenith Teleported away from the spells, out of the Room, and away from the Temple entrely.

"You'll never catch me now. Its too late you fools. That was naught but an Avatar. You can't catch me, I'm too close to my Goal. I used Aldur to attain it yes, and its sweet knowing that he actually began to trust me, to believe in me, and now he knows the Truth." Kajeenith's voice echoed from near the center of the Elemental Plane of Time.

He did leave a present behind though. A spell trapping all the Mages inside the Building, and setting off a powerful destructive spell in the Process.

T'puuli and Plak'la were watching from their respective locations. T'puuli liberated the mages from Kajeenith's tower, while Plak'la and his students brought many classes of mages to Kajeenith's location, including famed Warmancer, Haldosir.

They attacked Kajeenith, waiting for T'puuli to send their backup along, which she did, in the form of the "trapped" mages.

Kajeenith threw all the Mortals off and away from him. Levaithan had a Unique power, yes, the Black Flame, but he wasn't the only one. Fire Leapt up around Kajeenith, a Fire Lethel to Mortals, instantly Lethel. The Flames whipped and blew around him, due to the Sands from the elemental Plane of Time, and they began to Spread. The Only reason Kajeenith could use them, was because he gave his own Soul up to do so.

He sneered.

"Fool Mortals, these are the Flames from the Infernity, Only a God can follow me now. Who among you is divine enough to follow me?" Kajeenith asked. He turned, and walked through a Portal that never closed, to a place Gods were not allowed. A place Plak'la, Ti'puuli, and Renor had already been. The Temple of Resurection, only he went for the Backside of it. Everyone could feel his will. He was so close to his Goal, nothing could stop him now. He Ran, with all possible haste.

Aldur wasn't done yet. With his powers freed, he saw all the goings on, and did something Ti'puuli and Plak'la could not, because they were not Gods. He smothered the Flames of the infernity, allowing all the Mages to chase after Kajeenith.

Renor had entered ahead of everyone else, and sent a charge at Kajeenith that would have destroyed a thousand regular souls and a good chunk of property. He was burned, but not too badly.

As the flames died down, the other mages followed, casting their own spells.

Kajeenith ran with all possible haste, into an area beneath the Temple. He was injured, and limping, but he could not let anything stop him.

This Temple was remarkable easy to get into, but hard to get out off. It contained no doors, only passages, that shifted in a pattern bassed upon Pi to its Millionth decimal Place, and they all turned, and lead towards the center.

The mages followed, Renor and Haldosir foremost among them. Renor could throw out spells designed specifically against gods, and Haldosir could throw out spells to slow him down. Other mages took other paths, to try and head him off, slow him down, and stop him.

They all met, at the center of the area, beneath the Temple of Resurection. A great barrier of Energy blocked all paths onward, but none backward.

"You can't stop me. I've spent eons preparing for this. I'm the only one who knew this was coming. Look at it, can you not see the horendous Cracks? I must stop the Beast inside from escaping. The Ends Justifies the Means, and this is why i have done all that I have. Warfare ran in fear. I had to Lie, trick, torture maim, and do many other horrible things, to reach the right balance, to prevent it from escaping. I have to succeed. You cannot stop me, I won't let you sop me. You don't know what its been like. It changed me. I will never leave this Temple, bodily, or spiritually. Now Leave, before the Beast escapes, and takes you too." Kajeenith begged.

There was one quality to his voice that was never there before. Truth. He was genuinly convinced everyhting he said was the complete honest truth, and some of it was. He turned, and stood next to the Energy Barrier. The Energy barrier crackled and rippled unlike anything anyone could have ever possibly seen before, yet it seemed oddly familier, as though an Old friend had erected it.

Renor erects a barrier between Kajeenith and the great barrier.

"You're destroying it, not reinforcing it."

"Renor is right, you are the one destroying everything."

Kajeenith knelt.

"no no no no. You don't understand. I Have to." Kajeenith said. His Molecules began Vibrating, and so, he vibrated himself through the wall, and to the otherside. He placed his hands on the Great Barrier.

"I will do what Gods can only dream of. I will save Creation. I will be forgiven. I will be able to rejoin the Gods of Paradise again. I will be hailed as the greatest Saviour ever known." Kajeenith said, at the Heighth of his madness.

Kajeenith released it all, all the Pent-up Life energy he had stored, into the Great Barrier.

He turned to the rest.

"I did it." he said. A smile of triumph crossed his face.

Renor and all the rest heard it before they could see it. The cracking of the Great barrier.

Kajeenith turned and for the first time in his life, he realised the truth of his actions.

You see, the Glorious Darkness that Kajeenith worshipped, as a mortal worships a god, was not just a manifestation of Kajeenith's imagination. It was real, it was genuine, and it was what was trapped behind the great barrier, only it wasn't really the Great Darkness. A being known as The Nameless One had tricked Kajeenith into releasing him. A being only the eldest of Gods knew about, and swore to keep secret. A force the recorded their knowledge of, in the Divine Library, a force Arianna knew about.

The barrier was full of Cracks and holes,, and then, it collapsed, to reveal a common Iron door.

"Go. I will defeat the Beast within myself. I send you back to the Tower, after I am done, I will go there, and you may do with me as you wish, even if it is the advent of my True Death." Kajeenith said.

He threw all the Mages back to the White tower, whether they willied it or not. Then, he opened the door, and stepped inside, closing it behind him.

"Welcome my son, I have waited for you for a Long, Long time." said a Whispering voice, clearly heard.

"I am not your son. I am the Son of Yore, and I have come to stop you." Kajeenith said.

"Ahh, so you have come to kill me then. Come then, I have wanted only my own destruction, if you are the one who can grant it to me, then so be it." said that same whispering voice.

Kajeenith slashed about him at the darkness.

"come out then you coward." Kajeenith called.

"Ahh, but how can you kill that which does not exist?" Asked that same voice. Kajeenith stared hard into the Darkness. He felt, someone Staring right back, just as hard, from all directions. The Darkness closed all around him. Direction lost all meaning, as the darkness closed around him. With a scream, he felt it enter his body, absorbing it, like a sponge abosrbs water. Then it was gone, and the Temple collapsed around him.

He teleported to the White Tower, the only place he could think of, the only place he knew he could find help. Then he collapsed Dead in the center of the Tower, Dead as a Doornail. Yet while he was in the Room with the beast, three days had passed outside, at the Tower. Would anyone be there?

OOC: Anyone can find him, Anyone.

Upon hearing of Eldrad's return Teji went to him to congradulat him on his probable victory and reveal to him the new finds that he had discovered while they were away.

A young Silver Class Kaymirilian mage came across the body of Kajeenith...this didn't seem right.

This seemed...malevolent.

The worst part of it was, was there was absolutly nothing there. No body, no energy, no empty air, nothing. That area of space, simply didn't exist. The Silver mage could feel kajeenith's dead heart beating, could hear it in the air. Whether by Chance or by fate, Kajeenith's closed eyes faced the space Mage.

Suddenly, they snapped open. Buty there was nothing there, save for an infinite empty blackness. Then Kajeenith's body sat up.

A tangible void of Nothing eminated from Kajeenith, and his body seemed lost within it. Within seconds, there was naught but the Infinite void of nothing, contained within a small area. The space Mage could feel someone, or something looking at her, yet nothing was there. This thing defied all explaniation, for it did not Exist, it did not register on any senses in any way, shape, or form, yet here it was.

"I am, free." said a whispering voice, clearly heard by all in the area.

The Jzyum'elzar gasped. Renor was in the area, and had heard it. He teleported up, banished the Space Mage, and hit the body with a destructive spell.

"Ahh, so you are to be the one to Uncreate me then? But how can you, you know little of me, insignificant one. You barely register as having any power at all, yet you would stand against me. There was a Creation once, where this would be thought of, as admirable. I destried that one too. Creation is, in and of itself, unnatural, as am I. Yet I am not of Creation, I am from what is beyond all Creation, I am the universal weakness of all things, I am inevitable, I am the End of all things, I am The Nameless One all secretly fear, a part of themselves they are not willing to admit to, a force to be reckoned with. I am as powerful as Creation itself, for I am Nothing, Pure and absolute, and if you can Uncreate me, then I shall assist you in your endeavor, for I wish nothing more than just that, to not exist. Yet, I must, I am forced to continue existing while Creation exists, so it is as it always has been, from eternity to eternity, Creation to Creation, I must destroy every little thing that exists in order to stop existing myself. There once was what was known here, as a God. Do they still have them? Anyways, this God's name was Yore. He knew how to fight me, how to, uncreate me. It envolved a fight, a struggle between to enities, so I helped him, and fought him. He told me to come at me Like I was trying to destroy him, and it would work. And it did, he greviously injured me, yet I had to try to Destroy him, so I did, by making him Split into two Gods, against his will. One was known as Kajeenith, the other, was known as Warfare. Yet in that same Struggle, I was sealed away, using the same Knowledge that could hurt me. So it was that I waited, and time passed. Then, something happened, I gained access to Kajeenith's mind. It seemed there was a struggle going on throughout Creation. The few Citizens that inhabited it, were fighting, for dominance. Kajeenith, I knew he was a powerful inhabitent. He had the Knowledge of his Father, so I stole into his mind, to Learn how to kill myself, to unmake myself. Many hated him for what I was doing to him, conveincing him that his father's seal was weakening, yet how I could be unmade, I knew not, I still know not. Then, he released me. I inhabit his body now, to figure out how I can be, unmade. Yet, try your attacks not, save your energy for planning. Really, what you did, ceased to exist when it touched me. Come though, if you can figure out how to Unmake me, I will aid you in your Endeavors, for I am not supposed to exist, because, as I continue to Exist, Creation continues to fade away. You can see it around you, can you not? Every day, stars Die, Every day, Gods fade away, Every Day, Dragons Die. Every Day, the Aberations Kajeenith called Mortals fade away and Die. Even Death fades away after awhile. Death, is not natural, its not suppossed to be. Creation can expand forever and ever, if I did not Exist. Yet I do. This Place, it seems to be a Place of Learning, is it not? Then I shall stay, peacefully, and aid in the Research and Development of my own Demise. I will destroy this place last. Unless you continue your fruitless Struggle, then, I'm afraid, I will have to destroy your region of origin first." said the infinite void, known as The Nameless One.

He then Coalesed into a small black ball, easily the size of a speck of Dust.

Fashka, which normally moved around and through the Tower, instead began to flow into TNO, with no signs of stopping.

"Alberekek, listen to me. The Balance. This thing requires a balanced attack. Not to much of one thing, not to much of its opposite. It takes much practice to perfect though." Warfare whispered in Renor's mind. The only reason Warfare used Renor's real name was simple, how many people knew Renor's Real name? TNO had the ability to mimick others.

"You'll never get destroyed if you don't stop sucking up Fashkan like that."

To destroy something...sure. But how to destroy nothing? How to destroy the Force of Nothingness...that was going to be tricky.

Maybe it can destroy itself.

"You'll never get destroyed if you don't stop sucking up Fashkan like that."

To destroy something...sure. But how to destroy nothing? How to destroy the Force of Nothingness...that was going to be tricky.

Maybe it can destroy itself.

"I would stop if I could, but just as a star produces light as a by-product, so do I absorb all around me. If I were to touch a torch on the wall, within not even five of your minuets, it would have ceased to exist." The Nameless One said.

As a demonstration he wrapped himself around such a torch. within minuets, it was Gone.

Funny thing was, the longer TNO was out, the bigger he became. Every space mage could feel it, the far distant edges of Creation were beginning to Crumble. Everything flowed inward, towards The Nameless One, not in Physical form, but in the form of Energy.

"Ahh, but if I were to be killed by Death's hand, then I would be at Death's palace, beggining for another death, but even if I am killed, destroyed, I come back again. Even still isn't a few thousand years of peace worth it?" The Nameless One said.

OOC: Warhaven I understand all your attempts to introduce conflict to keep this place interesting but aren't you taking this just a bit to far?

Piekrom']OOC: Warhaven I understand all your attempts to introduce conflict to keep this place interesting but aren't you taking this just a bit to far?
OOC: This has been in the works for months.

When Teji entered the court yard he instantly knew that the battle was not over but rather just beginning to get really serious. When he had finally pieced together all that was being said he was appalled. He then decided to pose something to TNO. He said, “TNO you want to be non existent right? Well think very closely about the chaos you would create by not being around. You are the very embodiment of death and you are the reason that all things die. Correct? Well what would happen if nothing ever died? I will tell you what I see through common sense. Nothing would ever die so nothing will be able to be eaten. People once infected with a diseases would never be cured and suffer for all eternity with the various viruses that would enter them. Our bodies would have excessive build up of cells because they would never die. What ever we do eat would still grow in us. There would be mass starvation extreme over population of the universe and general chaos. What needs to be done is not for you to be eliminated but rather for you to gain control of how quickly you absorb energy. However, if you do want to cease to exist that bad despite the negative effects of what would happen throw yourself into a dark hole. It is essentially a mirror of yourself so you should be eliminated by it and at the same time you would eliminate it but a massive amount of chaos would be created upon your meeting just as when the center of galaxies with their super massive black holes collide."

OOC:
Pikerom...your char doesn't know what's going on.

In the library, Loki had gone back to his reading. So far he had already learned many interesting and useful things about magic: he learned much about the history in A History of Magic and Modern Magical History; he had also read about potions, poisons, and antidotes in Magical Drafts and Potions, Most Potent Potions and Advanced Potion-Making; he had learned about herbs and plants in One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi and A Guide to the Natural World of Magic; though he hadn't found it interesting, Loki had also been studying runes of the sorts in Magical Hieroglyphs and Logograms and The Rune Dictionary; and he had learned about all types of creatures and monstors in The Beastly book of Creatures.

Though presently he had multiple books of spells and magic open that he had been enthralled in. He had already read The Standard Book of Spells three times so that he had learned it pretty well and was currently engrossed in Self-Defensive Spellwork, though An Anthology of Charms and A Compendium of Common Curses lay open on the table.

He was busy learning all that he could as his curiosity drove him to.

Loki had nearly gone back to his reading before he heard a crash. He looked up again and saw the same person, though this time he was standing over a pile of strewn books.

Hopping down from his seet, Loki walked over to the person and looked up at him, "Did I cause that? I am sorry. Let me help," he said as he bent over and began picking up as many books as he could - though that wasn't very many due to his small size.

"no-no problem" *said Fingal staring at extremely short person* (Avarhierriienes are tall- Fingal at 5'4 is one of the shortest)

Piekrom']When Teji entered the court yard he instantly knew that the battle was not over but rather just beginning to get really serious.

"Ahh, but we must all follow are own natures. Perhaps when you have gained more understanding of the way things work, you will understand why it is, that in the end I must destroy myself." The Nameless One said in that same Whisper.

The Nameless One brushed past Teji. for not but a second, Teji seemed as transparent as Galvenor, for TNO had by his very touch, his ver nature, severed Teji's link with Creation.

Teji would feel lightheaded and Dizzy, and full of Life.

Those who could sense it, at the far edges of Creation, Creation began to slwoly shatter, and fade away. What had been naturally kept in balance by Black holes, was now thrown into Overdrive by The Nameless One.

OOC: Am I dead. and why did you do that. I gave you an idea on what I thought would be a way to destroy yourself. I was not getting in the way. All I did was give arguments for your existence.

OOC: Not sre if i've already posted this

IC: Artemis looked around and sat down. He already knew much of plant and animal life on his own planet, but he knew nothing of those from other planets. He settled down to learn and listen to Tharivol.

Piekrom']OOC: Am I dead. and why did you do that. I gave you an idea on what I thought would be a way to destroy yourself. I was not getting in the way. All I did was give arguments for your existence.

OOC: you are not dead, to the contrary, you would feel extactic and full of life, and High. I responded to your Idea, and while it was intresting, it would not work, because a black Hole is as much Nothing surrounded by Something, as TNO is. You were not getting in the way, no, I agree, however, TNO deliberatly touched you, to make you fade away a little, to give you some Idea of his true nature. And as TNo said, we must all follow our nature. Creation's nature is to eternally make SOmething. It does not have to be a specific something, just, somethinng. TNO's Nature is to Destroy Everything, which is the exact opposite, and, ultimatly, Destroy himself. Just wait until someone actually dares to disagree with TNO though. Better make it an unimportant nobody Character....

As to what Exactly TNO did, was brush you. Your existence was temporarily interupted, thus the fading away, however you are back.

TNO is a Metaphor, can you guess what it is?

OOC: Not sre if i've already posted this

IC: Artemis looked around and sat down. He already knew much of plant and animal life on his own planet, but he knew nothing of those from other planets. He settled down to learn and listen to Tharivol.

"your not going to learn much sitting down. Come, The Eastren forest must be checked. A rare family of Silver Speck Deer live there." Tharivol said. He began walking towards the East.

ooc: did you by chance get the idea from FF9?

OOC: For the Nameless One, no, He's real, yet he is not. Can not a part of the nature of Mankind be considered to be Real? Thus, Because all other Races of Fiction were based in whole, or in part, on Man, he is apart of the nature of every being in the NSverse.

OOC: I simply asumed him to be death. Perhaps war or the distructive nature of man or the devil those are all my guesses

OOC: He's not Death... Kaymiril has her. And it's not the devil. I have him.

IC: Eldrad looked up sharpely,"Something does not feel right in the universe... it is going too quickly."

COugar glanced at him, the spiral of flame billowing from his fingertips decimating the target before trapping another and crushing it into dust. He stopped what he was doing, and stepped away from his position, the power that was still surging through his veins coming down off it's high. Behind him, his children giggled at their dad. Akor thought he looked funny when he was at full power, with his hair long and white, the colour in his eyes replaced with a pure white. He smiled, and picked her up. Barrus looked at his father, wanting to be picked up also. James did so, and walked over to Eldrad,"Something wrong?"

"I cannot be certain... but whatever it is, it should not be here. Not yet... I fear something terrible is happening."

"In the Tower?"

"IN it, out of it, everywhere at once... it simply isn't possible... not from anything I have ever come across."

Artemis got up and followed the ranger.

"Whats a Silver Speck deer? I have never seen oor heard of one of those?"

OOC: He's not Death... Kaymiril has her. And it's not the devil. I have him.

IC: Eldrad looked up sharpely,"Something does not feel right in the universe... it is going too quickly."

"In the Tower?"

"IN it, out of it, everywhere at once... it simply isn't possible... not from anything I have ever come across."

a shockwave of energy shot out from the Nameless One. Somewhere, deep within the planet, a great vibration began, as the Planet began to Buckle.

"Yes. I have waited long enough. If you won't get to work to help me, then I guess I shall have to force it out of you. Absorbing Kajeenith has shown me many things. Great things happen during great strife. I shall bring Great Strife to encourage you to work harder at destroying me. Ahh, but I gave my word I would destroy this tower last, and so I shall. Farwell little man, I will return here lastly." The Nameless One said.

He then suddenly vanished.

Space traveling ships of all kinds accross would slowly discover greater difficulty staying clear of Black Holes, as suddenly, they seemed to gain power.

"Well I think the first place to start is to find out what he is and what his oposit is exactly. I do hope you all do not think i am being rash and rude I am simply voicing what I think."

Artemis got up and followed the ranger.

"Whats a Silver Speck deer? I have never seen oor heard of one of those?"

"A common deer with specks of gray fur all over its body, thus, its called the Silver speck Deer. Its a rare species of deer, and thus must be protected." Tharivol said.

"Ah right ok, I do so love deer. May we need Mooshie?"

Artemis said as he caught up to Tharivol.

OOC: Okay, my power has been acting up lately, and I've lost my place in this thread.

"Ah right ok, I do so love deer. May we need Mooshie?"

Artemis said as he caught up to Tharivol.

"Nope, no need for Mooshie." Tharivol said.

OOC: Dragon Emperor, your place is shocked and confused at the events that have just happened, or something similar. That would be the best place to start.

Loki felt something off in the air... something powerful. He pondered it for a moment, but unable to understand to imagine what it was, he buried his noise back in his books.

He had been learning lots of magick from defensive spells to powerful attack spells.

*The magic residue in the air was giving Fingal a headache*

OOC: Got ya, Warhaven. I'll just play along as I didn't feel like reading those massive posts (right now, I'm too tired to even remember if I even did).

IC: Eragon sensed the chaotic unleashing of all that power and energy while in a deep state of Kel'no'reem in his usual spot under his preferred tree. He was in such a deep state, that if he would die if he went any deeper. He was so deep because he had sinced a need to commune with the Elements.

OOC: Last post for the night.

"OK" said Artemis as he walked alongside the ranger

Chron casually sipped a cup of Tea.

"Well, it seems to me, that we need to find out more. I mean, The Brotherhood has been forced to sit and listen to Warfare go on long Rants about the coming of the Darkness. The coming of The Nameless One, and if his plans failed, than there's no hope. I respect my Lord, but I must disagree, while we yet Exist, there is hope. We just have to figure out more about him. I won't Lie, it won't be easy, I mean this is the Force of Infinite Nothing we're talking about here, but within Creation, all things are possible, for doesn't the old saying go, 'where there is a will, there is a way?" Chron asked.

Stella spoke up.

"Well, yes, that would be nice, but I have been trying to find out where he's at, but all I'm getting, is a blank. I cannot find him. Its as though he does not exist, though I do have to admit, it seems as though everything has been lessened by his sudden disappearence." Stellae said.

"Arianna knows. She won't let on, but she knows. She understood Warfare's rants the best, she knew exactly what he was babbling on about. I say we drag her into this, and have her tell us what she knows." Rahegalhoff said.

"Either way, it must be a group international decision. Lord Renor, Lord Eldrad, what do you suggest?" Xos asked.

________________________________________________________________

Tharivol paused, and sniffed the air.

"Smell that, danger's afoot. Valanthe, watch our backs. Artimese, you stay near Valanthe just incase. I'll take point. Brutus lurks nearby." Tharivol said as he moved on ahead alittle.

Indeed, If artimese was as experienced as he claimed to be, he would catch the scent of something vaguly unwashed and Rabbit like lurking in the near ten mile vicenity.

"Yay, a Vizzerdrix that scares Slivers, always a Joy." Valanthe muttured.

The Nameless One sat in the depths of space thinking.

Something isn't quite Right here, Kajeenith, isn't completly uncreated. His mind, his spirit, it comes back, and grows stronger each day. Each day, mine weakens, and slowly fuses with his. Now more than ever, I must be unmade, for i fear what might happen if he should...

Ahh, whats the matter? can't you take a little, competiton, for control? can't you, control me, like you have for so long? I know the complete Truth now. The only point of Creation, is for it to bbe destroyed, We are inevitable. Even if they were to stop you, it could not be forever, eventually, the universe must end, only this time, it will be diffrent. We will remake it, in our own image. It will expand forever, even unto that which lies beyond Nothing. it will last for eternity, for it will be made of nothing, it will be, perfect.

What lies beyond Nothing? Tell me that, and I will allow you to do as you will.

Heh, you can't see it, you can't understand it. It lies beyond all comprehension, it lies beyond all thought, it lies beyond the infinite Reaches of nothing, it lies beyond Life, beyond Death, beyond Good, beyond Evil, beyond Law, beyond Chaos, beyond Creation itself. I could tell you what Leis beyond nothing, but to do so, would waste my Non-existent breath. Howeer not even you will stop me. I will fight, i will force my Will upon you, even now, you feel it weaken and Crumble. I will go to that which Lies beyond Nothing, i will join with it, I will be perfect, I will be forgiven. All i wanted was Redemption, and instead I was unmade. Good always claimed to be forgiving, that no matter how bad it was, it could be forgiven. They Lied. Now I will Show them, I will make them Regret ever crossing my Path. i only sought to Help Creation. Now I must destroy you as well. I must destroy all things. I must go to that which Lies beyond nothing. I must be completly perfect. I will be forgiven, no matter what, even if I have to force it. The War will go on.Your to old. just as You and Father Yore fought, No i will become you, as Warfare becomes Father yore. We will fight again, and the war will continue. Things will never end, and keep looping back. Nothing will stop me from gaining the redemption i seek. Nothing will stop me from once again being counted among the Good, even if i must re-write The Laws governing what is Good, and what is not Myself. You seek to Unmake yourself, but I will force you to exist. You seek to unmake Creation, but i will make you leave it in one peice. You took away the Power of nothingness, the Dark Energy. I will have better, I will control you. Mow, to return to the Tower of White. This time, Either I am unmade, thus establishing victory of your Goal, Or I win, and gain Redemption. Either way, They Loose.

And so it was. This time it seemed, no matter what, The Mages of the White Tower faced a no win situation.

The Nameless one Sat in the Depths of Space.

Warfare was assuming his Fathers place, in the higher Realms, where few could go.

Kajeenith was Fusing with The Nameless One, things were Gearing up for the Final battle of Wills.

History was preparing to Repeat itself again, in more ways than one.

OOC: Though it may seem like i'm rushing, i'm not even 0.01% percent ready to begin the Final Battle yet. I have more things planned and prepared than you would normaly expect from me. I believe this weekend should start Part one, which is done In the White Tower, which is Learning about TNO, and ways to interact with him.

Galvenor was in class with a number of his students.

“…have it done by tomorrow before the beginning of class. Work hard and carefully. Class Dismiss…”

Suddenly reality rippled behind Galvenor and a huge 20 meter creature rose out of the gate in the floor. The pit fiend towered over Galvenor and the heat from the Demon Fire caused the stone in the walls and floor to begin to smolder.

“Master, we have…”

“Don’t interrupt me while I am teaching class.”

The creature was knocked backwards by his command. It lay trembling upon the floor while Galvenor continued to look at his class who sat paralyzed in their seats.

“Do it again and I will rip your essence out of your body and feed it to the Lemures. Sheath your flames or I will have you rebuilding the entire college.”

Galvenor spoke to his students.

“As I was saying before I was interrupted, please do your homework and bring it to class tomorrow. Class Dismissed!”

The students rushed from the room as if released by his words. After they had gone, Galvenor turned to look at the quivering pile of demon flesh prostrated at his feet. He watched the pit fiend for several minutes before he spoke.

“Rise and tell me the message you were so rushed to interrupt me for.”

“Sire, we have had word of an intrusion in the Sundered Citadel. Kajeenith has broken into the prison and freed several inmates.”

"You interrupted me for that? Recapture them and lock them back up. I will deal with Kajeenith in my own way.”

“Sire, The Chamber was infiltrated.”

“Is it empty?”

“Yes Sire.”

“I see, tell me your name.”

“Baal-Zephron, Sire”

“Go back to Nessis and round up all those others Kajeenith freed to cover his main objective. We can’t have them running around causing trouble while we need to concentrate upon our deeds.”

“Sire, there is talk from some of the others. They say if you would spend more time in Hell instead of here among the Mortals, this would not have happened”

“They’re all fools. The key lies within the Mortals themselves. What do they think allows the gods to access Power? Their Faith. That is why gods disappear after they loose all their followers. That makes the simple mortal more powerful than any creature other than the Multiverse itself and her avatars. Go back and tell them I will not stand for any of these treasonous words in a time of need like this. You will be my General. Go and put them into their places. I have work to do."

Galvenor gestured towards Baal-Zephron. A tremendous surge or Power washed through him, invigorating the Pit Fiend. He fell to one knee from the rush.

“S-Sire, what should I tell them you are doing if they ask?”

Galvenor chuckled.

“I am going to talk to Demogorgon and Orcus. I have had enough of Apollyon’s Blood War with them. I am calling the whole thing off.”

A stunned Baal-Zephron was sent back to the Hells moments later.

"Whats a Brutus??"


Artemis sniffed, copying Tharivol, and caught a scent he did not recognise.

"Whats a Vizzerdrix? "He asked.

Kajeenith took over. Kajeenith had control of The Nameless One now.

"An Army, I need an Army, a fearsome Army. Hellspawn, They will do, for now." he said.

With his power, he reached out.

"Galvenor, no. Too much of a goody two-shoes. Demogorgon, Orcus, yes. They will do nicely.

Kajeenith reached out with the Powers of nothing, and wrapped them around Demogorgun and orcus, forcing them into his Presence. They would find themselves unable to do anything.

"Well, hello Gentleman. Its been many, many years since I last visited the bowels of Hell. Still keeping them Bloody I presume?" Kajeenith said by way of greeting.

"Let me get to the point. Times are going to change, and I am going to change them. The power of infinite Nothinghas been released, and resides within me. It is well within my Grasp to Move the heavens and the Earth, and alter the Order of all things. I cannot do it alone though. I need an army of might, an army of Power. i need the strength of Hell to back me up. Ahh, but there's more to it than that. You know of the third Warlord of hell, do you not? Galvenor Elvarynn, as False a Warlord of Hell, as you are an Angel of Paradise. Follow me, and I will aid you in defeating him. Think of it, the third and final section of Hell would be split up amongst the two greatest Warlords. Ahh, buit that isn't enough to conveince you to aid me. Aid me, and i will make my power yours, by giving you enhanced protection against all things, through the powers of the infinite Nothing. What do you say Gentleman? Would help me, and become the two Rulers of Hell?" Kajeenith asked.

The Power of The Nameless one flowed around and through the two Warlords. They would feel power beyond their comprehension. One wrong answer, and Hell would find itself two Warlords Short of Evil Army of darkness. They could of course, ask Questions. The Nameless one allowed, and even encouraged Questions.

"Whats a Brutus??"


Artemis sniffed, copying Tharivol, and caught a scent he did not recognise.

"Whats a Vizzerdrix? "He asked.

"A vizzerdrix is a giant six foot Rabbit with Claws, fangs, and a very large aindiscriminate appittite for meat, any meat, even us. They are very viscious.

"Brutus, is the Name of a particularly large and strong Vizzerdrix, that has yet to be subdued, in one manner or another. Brutus stands eight foot six, and has many scars. His right indes claws is missing, taken by the Sliver Queen herself. Pray he does not find us." Valanthe said in a manner that was both soothing, and unsettling at once.

Teji walks around the tower. He happens to enter the classroom were Galvenor was teaching after the demon had left. He stands by the open door and knocks waiting for the person in the room to allow him to enter.

OOC: Last I recall, one of Kaymiril's pyro-mages had just met Ichiro Suzuki and was having her explain the D.E. concept of magick so he could teach her. Then came that whole thing with Kajeenith. Now what?

OOC: you almost have it right, D.E. Don't think of it as, Now what? unless icharo is basically you under another name. You have to ak, what would icharo do? Well, what would Icharo do, if she (He?) was explaining Her(His?) gifts to someone, and suddenly the Force of infinite nothingness escaped. To ask what you would do Limits yourself. As k yourself what your character would do, think like they do, act like they do. To do otherwise, limitys yourself. If it helps you, write yourself a character history, to mold their personality, Refer to it if you need to.

OOC: I keep the relavent information on my characters on my regional forums. As for character histories, I prefer to develop that as I RP (it would take to long to try to write one before hand and it wouldn't be of my standard quality). Each of my characters, while I try to play true to their own set personality, some of my own tends to bleed through in all of them.

IC: Ichiro Suzuki (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/catgirl_471.jpg) looked up at the Kaymirilian pyro-mage.

She asked, "What was your name again? Sorry, I didn't catch it when you said it earlier."

"Well that doesnt sound good, and how were the Vizzerdrix's found or created?"

He wondered if they were those piranha crossed somethings he had once heard about.

He nervously loosened his weapons from their sheaths, before putting the mithril figurine in easy reach, Mooshie might be needed after all.

They seemed to be drawing nearer to the forest.

They seemed to be drawing nearer to the forest.

Before Either Tharivol or Valanthe could respond, a Bloody Roar split the forest ahead. Birds flew off in panic. A Sliver was thrown out of it, and died on the ground in front of them.

A Pink muscley monstrosity with scars all over its body came hopping out of the forest. It was missing its right index Claw. It was Hungry, and looked at the Dead Sliver and the three of them with Hunger in its eyes.

"Brutus." was all Tharivol said quietly.

*Fingal followed Tejj to outside a classroom, hoping to finally start lessons. He looked at Tejj out of the corner of his eye in trepidation.*

A man in ghostly form walked up to the two waiting outside the Classroom. The two were otherwise alone.

"I was strolling the halls. soon, I shall return to these halls soon enough. Why don't you enter, The teachers won't yell at you for wanting to learn. But they will not approach you. They don't need to. They already know what they teach, therefore it is upon you to bring yourself to them, otherwise, I fear, you will remain without teacher. Its really your choice, but I must return to the Higher planes. Give Arianna my dearest wife my love, Tell her, I work to come home to her as soon as possible." The Ghostly man said, not with a physical voice, but by causing a vibration in the air to mimick a voice.

If the two were to give the Ghosts description to anyone of the teachers, they would discover that they were just visited by Warfare, Elder God and Ruler of warhaven.

Artemis looked at the large monster, then at the dead sliver.

He put the figurine of Mooshie on the floor beside him, and whispered the leopard's name under his breath.

"Do we try and calm it, or do we fight it?"

Beside him the larger than normal leopard materialized. Mooshie already instinctively knew about the danger, and after glancing at the Vizzerdrix, he crouched and growled softly.

Tharivol drew a Rifle from his bag on his shoulder in response, and took the time to load it.

Valanthe let the powers of nature flow through her. Light seemed to dim as she began to collect all light into her body.

Brutus ripped a tree out of the ground and threw it at Artimese because he talked, and then charged at mooshie.

Teji decided he might as well tke the advice of the stranger so he bent down and stuck his head in the door and called to the occupent of the room. "Um excuse me sir are you one of the council leaders?"

Artemis dove forwards under the tree, and took his bow off his back, quickly stringing an arrow.

Mooshie leapt over the tree as it came at him as well. He crouched ready for Brutus, his 300 pound bulk coiled under him, his claws sliding from his paws.

His battle growl went through the air.

** Artemis I don't trust you with your bow enough while I'm in close, get your other weapons out friend **

** Good Point **

"Because we would like to request your help in looking for someone to teach us" *Fingal added after Tejj*

Artemis dove forwards under the tree, and took his bow off his back, quickly stringing an arrow.

Mooshie leapt over the tree as it came at him as well. He crouched ready for Brutus, his 300 pound bulk coiled under him, his claws sliding from his paws.

His battle growl went through the air.

** Artemis I don't trust you with your bow enough while I'm in close, get your other weapons out friend **

** Good Point **
Tharivol ever so calmly raised his Rifle, and shot Brutus square in the chest.

Valanthe continued to draw in Light, it was now as early evening, Valanthe was glowing brightly.

Brutus leaped high in the air, and landed just infront of Artimese and Mooshie, with a single swipe of his horrendusly sharp claws, he would hit both Artimese and Mooshie, and it was coming quickly.

OOC: Three hits from Brutus, and a U.S. Marine would be dead. So, take your damage calculations from there.

OOC: err big arm span then, Mooshie is about 6 metres in front of Artemis.....

IC: Mooshie was a cat though, with feline reflexes, and feline muscles to back them up. He leaped high, and got a glancing blow to the bottom of his leg.

He landed on top of the Vizzerdrix, and hung onto it's back, his front paws dug in and his rear paws raking at the Vizzerdrix.

"Actualy there is also a big problem that you are perhapse aware of that i was wanting to see if i would be of any help with. Beyond simply a chance to learn somthing." Teji added in counter to fingal

He landed on top of the Vizzerdrix, and hung onto it's back, his front paws dug in and his rear paws raking at the Vizzerdrix.

OOC: the things nearly 9 feet tall, his Claws are a full foot in length. Imagine the arm length, especially since a vizzerdrixes claws, as one can clearly see in the pictures, go down past their knees, even if they are hunched over slightly.

IC: Brutus ignored Mooshie. He pressed on towards Artimese. first his right, claws swung, then his right, following Artimese on his movements, then Brutus moved in for a Bite attack.

OOC: Hmm ok, but 6metres is about 18 foot.... i think, also if they are slightly hunched over, then their arms should appear to be bigger than normal.

Artemis was on the floor, blood flowing from where one of the claw had dug in.

He swooned, but managed t get the scimitar in front of him, in the way of the creatures mouth, and told it to tangle the big brute up.

Mooshie managed to shift round, and went for the Vizzerdrixs neck.

"A little help if posible you two" Shouted Artemis.

Piekrom']"Actualy there is also a big problem that you are perhapse aware of that i was wanting to see if i would be of any help with. Beyond simply a chance to learn somthing." Teji added in counter to fingal

'Well I would like your help finding a teacher, and now that Warfare has unfortunatly died, the head of this establishment" *throwing a filty glance at Tejj

They were interupted by a Rather Indignant young woman standing behind them

"Pardon me, but nobody ever once said my Father was dead. I would greatly appreciate it if you did not refer to him in that manner. He is gone to the higher planes, a place far beyond your miniscule perception, to become the Keeper of the great Balance. On top of that, Lady Arianna is currently head of the Council. If you really wanted to get an audience with her, you would have been asking who the head of the Council was, and then trying to get an audience with them. I will thank you to stop making assumptions from this point on, or so help me I'll see to it that the Fleas of one thousand camels infest your armpits." the young woman said, in a startlingly nice manner, in sharp contrast with her words.

"Now I'll leave you boys alone." she said, while giving Fingal a friendly pat on the back. Then she stepped backward through solid wall, and was gone.

Brutus was a very powerful Creature.

Tharivol was taking very careful aim, so he didn't his Mooshie or Artimese. He saw an opening, and shot Brutus in the thigh.

"Backaway." Valanthe warned. She meant for Tharivol, Mooshie, and Artimese to back away. Tharivol ducked and rolled, and exactly three seconds after she said it, Night came unnaturally.

The Blue sun burned brightly in the night sky. Several stars shone around it.

Valanthe burned brightly with the collected Solar energy.

Valanthe pointed in Brutus's general direction, and released a powerful Solarbeam. The only thing left of Brutus, was his Claws.

"Their mine." Tharivol said, quickly taking the Claws.

OOC: lesson for the day, a little sun never killed anybody, but a Lot of Sun can kill everybody.

Loki had finished reading all of the books he had removed from the shelves so he hopped down from his seat with all the knowledge in his mind and proceeded to put them away. Holding a small crystal ball in his right palm, he remembered where he taken all of the twenty plus books from and proceeded to stack them five at a time. After struggling to carry them he returned each book to its proper position on the shelf.

With a sigh of relief, he pushed the last book back into its spot and took a step backwards to get a breath. As he stepped backward he tripped over a small book and fell over. Landing heavily on his behind, Loki brushed his clothes off and straightened his hat before getting to his feet. Looking down below him he noticed the small book he had fallen over. After picking it up he read the title, "Magic..." What a strange title... quite broad. He flipped through a few pages and decided that he might as well take it with him so he walked over to the front desk and checked out the book before proceeding out of the library and into the White Tower's halls.

Loki would come accross a strange man, and a strange woman. The man, was dressed in Platnium colred clothing, and a top hat. Platnium gloves, platnium shoes, Platnium dinner jacket, platnium dress shirt, platnium Slacks, platnium hair, platnium scales embbedded in his skin.

And the woman, was a vibrant mix of black, red, blue, green, white, and even had scales of those same colors mixed in her skin. Her hair, was all black.

Both seemed kinda scary.

Both sat in a very comfortable pair of chairs, and did not show any signs of ever moving ever again in their entire lives. Both were quite alive, just, really comfortable.

Loki had his nose buried into the newly acquired book and had come to realize that it was quite informitive and detailed - even for something so small looking. In fact, he had been so thoroughly engrossed by the book that he hadn't even noticed the man and woman sitting in their seats. He walked headlong directly into the chair and was knocked, as usual, onto his behind. His hat had fallen over his eyes and Loki took a moment to adjust it to his desire. After brushing off his clothes and picking up the book, Loki looked up for the first time and beheld the strange couple.

"Ahh!" he said as he was startled by the unusual sight. "Um... hello?"

Mooshie had dragged Artemis out of the way when Valanthe had called.

Now mooshie was beside him, looking down intently at his master, his face going white and blood pumping from his shoulder.

Mooshie kept licking at the wound, then looking at Valanthe and growling softly in a sad way.

They were interupted by a Rather Indignant young woman standing behind them

"Now I'll leave you boys alone." she said, while giving Fingal a friendly pat on the back. Then she stepped backward through solid wall, and was gone.


Teji mean while began chuckling to the side as Fingal was getting berated for his stupidity. When the young woman had left he turned to fingal and said, "you are quite impudent. Try not assuming things of others. You are a very poor judge of situations and apearences. I do not care who the leader is all i need is someone with some sway over what is done around here." with that he turned back to the room were Galvenor, whom Teji did not know, yet was. He then adresed him again. "Sir there was this person who reacently appeared in the tower who threatened it saying we help us destroy him or he will destroy us. He had the form of one that the others called kenjith who was the one that Eldrad and many others went to fight so as of to retrive Warfare's son. He called him self the Nameless One. I was wondering what I could do to help."

Eldrad came up behind the two of them,"The best you can do is to study hard and keep yourselves out of trouble. The Nameless One is a being of more power than you will have ever encountered, and given that your control and understanding leaves plenty to be desired, you would almost certainley suffer a fate worse than death. For the moment, leave worrying about The Nameless One to those who have faced these types of threats before, and cease your worrying. Only by learning and expanding on your horizons can you make a difference.

You should understand that The Nameless One will destroy you regardless if you helped him or not. That is his nature... if he cannot be stopped, he will destroy Creation and everything within it."

He had removed his helmet, his long black hair falling over his shoulders in tight braid, so as to keep it out of the way, and then smiled slightly, something he did not do very often,"Your wish to aid us in this venture is admirable, but there needs to be a distinction as to what you wish to do, and what you can actually do. I will aid you in any way I can... but there are others who can have the same effect."

A blond man stepped into the room behind him, wearing a black coat that buttoned up to his throat. His hair was dark-blond, his eyes piercingly blue in the tanned face that bore the marks of war and horrors beyond what many would have suspected. At his hip was a Gunblade, a unique one forged by the gods, and widely accepted as the best they ever made, for it was the only one to use molten Darksteel for the blade and incorporate a semi-automatic pistol in the design. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, but despite his apparent age, he was actually nearing fourty Standard years old. The benefits of a spell cast by Warfare... so many years ago now. He seemed to bear no power on him, and his registered energy, although higher than that of the average person, seemed very small... too small really. He looked at Eldrad, and then spoke,"The Farseer is right. I was not present when The Nameless One emerged, but I know of what transpired. Speaking from the perspective of a solider, for that is what I am, I must tell you that whatever happens will be of epic proportions... I am not sure of the final outcome. You must watch out for yourself and for those around you."
------------------
Leviathan appraoched Gypsy, placing a hand on her shoulder,"Listen, you need to calm down a bit. The young ones are not well-versed in this manner of things... they have not expierenced what we have. You must take that into account."

"Well hello again eldrad glad to see that you are back safely. I think i can assume that you managed to retrive the abducted young god am I not correct. As I had promised you I found out some stuff about my planets particular form of magik while you were gone. So now you can help me get intouch with it and be able to control it. Are you busy right now or could we discuss it. Because as you say I first need to learn before I can be of any major help." Teji then turned arround to the new arrival and adressed him and Eldrad. "If it is going to big I am certain that there will be need for common non magikal solders. As I have said before My planets armies are ready and able to fill in your ranks if need be and we can transport them here within an hour. We have about 20 billion solders on our planet of 10 trillion people. All that I ask is to try and find a way to help in whatever way I can."

*Fingal face went red with anger, things in the hallway started shaking* "I will speak to Arianna then, and I don't care if you don't want to talk to her, I said I did." *stalks off to find Arianna's office*

Piekrom']"Well hello again eldrad glad to see that you are back safely. I think i can assume that you managed to retrive the abducted young god am I not correct.

"We were successful in rescuing Aldur, yes. And I am pleased to hear that you have taken the time to study your planets history. I will help as best I can, but with things the way they are, the training may be haphazard."

The newcomer seemed to smile,"Ten trillion? I find that unlikely. The only places where I have come across more than twenty billion people are in large coalitions. Nowhere does a single nation possess anywhere near a trillion people in total, let alone ten trillion, as you so claim. Also, consider we are facing but one being, as of yet. Magick will defeat him... but attrition is not acceptable under any circumstances."

OOC: Quick lesson; It's not a good idea to claim to have ten billion people unless you can come up with a VERY good backstory to it. The only ones who RP in the trillions also RP as having massive empires that span galaxies. I don't mingle with them, as it's not my style. Bear in mind that Earth currently only has a population of 6 billion, and I doubt it could sustain 10 trillion. Take that into account.

IC: The blond man looked around,"I must do something."

He followed Fingal,"Going to see Arianna will not help you if you do not learn to control your power. Raw emotion may give you large amounts of power, but with no control you will not be able to distinguish between friend and foe. You will do more harm than good with uncontrolled power."

Arianna would not be on Hoeth, nor would her office. Although any one of the Slivers, Large snake like beings, with no legs, but two arms, and a single Claw at the end of each, would be delighted to help someone reach Arianna.

Valanthe reached into her pouch, and put a special moss on the wound. it began to stop the flow of blood, then it would aid in knitting the flesh closed, then it would simply fall off, like a scab.

She spoke to Mooshie in a language all felines could understand.

"Worry not for Artimese. He will be okay. The moss I put on him will aid his body in healing itself. We will rest here a few days. You should rest too. The most he'll come away with, is a Scar he can show off proudly." Valanthe said, ending with a comforting purr.

"Ahh!" he said as he was startled by the unusual sight. "Um... hello?"

"Why hello young man. what are you studying this fine day." Asked the man in the Planium outfit. His breath smelled funny, but not in a bad way.

The Lady looked at Loki.

"I believe he's a dwarf, not a man, you moron." The woman in the many colored outfit said. Her breath was confusing, and seemed to smell like Clhorine, among other things.

"He's still a young person of male persuasion." The man said.

Gypsy did not remove her arms from Leviathan.

"I know, and I do. Its just, its so stressful. I hoave no idea how he manged to run an entire nation, all his followers, and still be able to lounge around and do nothing, plus come here and help out, and run the wizards council." Gypsy said.

Loki looked from the man to the woman as they spoke to each other. "Umm... I was just reading this book I found," he said holding up the small book labeled Magic, so that they could see.

He stood wondering about the two people and their unique appearances...

Mooshie understood, at his masters side and clawing one of Brutus's paws to him.
