"Fear you?" Saacon asked incredulously. "I think not. I have been at ground zero of some of the most momentous occurences on my world. My purpose in life is combat, violence is what heats the blood in my veins. I fear no man...well, being...thing...object? I fear nothing."
"Haha, good, for your bravery, I take away your curse, but by that same token, you cannot use the Dragon fang either. Soon you will face a powerful enemy. The dragon was strong, but it underestimated you. now go." El novae said.

El Novae surged around Saacon, and his vision went white. When it cleared, he was outside of El novae's temple. He could feel his new found powers in him.

Pyra was next to him, but she looked, diffrent. Appearantly, El Novae had been talking to her as well, only saying diffrent things. She looked like she had just seen paradise. She also now wore Robes that looked like they belonged to some sort of a religion.

"Yay." Noticing that Pyra was in robes, he said "I'm sorry to wake you, but it's time to move on. So forget your spa-treatment or whatever you're thinking about and let's go. The sooner we get this done, the sooner I can go back to rationality." Saacon was becoming exasperated about the whole thing.

"Yes, Pyra, do wake up." Said a familiar haughty voice.

Pyra snapped to attention.

"Well, Saacon, been busy, have we? Since i gave you a friendly warning, you have managed to both destroy the Dragon that was to eventually destroy both Frez and Nova, and you have also managed to rekindle El Novae's interest in current events. I'm afraid Saacon, you must now be destroyed for your efforts. Why you wish to take this path, I don't know." The Dark Priestess said.

She shot a bolt of lightning at Saacon, and hurled a Boulder at Pyra. Pyra became a pillar of Fire, and the boulder passed harmlessly through.

"Fool, I am the Disciple of El Novae, Daughter of the Fire Jinn, You cannot destroy me with so easy a spell." Pyra said.

"Yes, Pyra, do wake up." Said a familiar haughty voice.

Pyra snapped to attention.

Saacon reflexively drew and threw a knife at the lightning bolt, diving to the side and rolled to his feet. What did that thing mean by true magick? And it manifesting in many ways? Shaking odd thoughts from his head, he focused on the fight. A wandering mind was a good way to die. He sprinted, circling his enemy. He would dodge in close and then dart away when it looked like she was about to retaliate. Varying his speed to throw off her aim, he occasionally toosed knives at her.

Pyra copied Saacon, only with Fireballs instead of knives.

TDP smiled, and swung her staff. The ground began to turn to quicksand.

Pyra sprouted a pair of fire wings. TDP levitated.

"Saacon!" Pyra yelled, but TDP blocked her from going to Saacon, he would have to use his training, instincts, and new powers to survive. Otherwise, he would drown in the quicksand.

Saacon immediately stopped moving. Strugling would only send him down faster. Using his ice magick, he formed a shield and slowly began to back up, hoping to get to the edge of the quicksand pit.

And so, he got out, and to the edge.

TDP swung her staff. The Quicksand hardened. However, and arcing blade of Pure Acid went flying at Saacon.

Pyra flew up high, and began a dive towards TDP.

"Haha, such a detailed explaination. I am underwhelmed by facts." Xos said.

"So, how are you going to help us?" Wilhelm asked.

"I'll show you." Xos said.

He leaped to the center of the room.

"You know, Cid never completed the Migration to Warfare's realm. He turned down imortality. However, he taught me all he know of science, and thus I gained his skill. I've worked long and hard to get to this point, and now, watch." Xos said.

He raised his hand. Enrgy lanced throughout the temple. It began to collapse all around them. Yet as it fell apart, it zoomed over to Xos, and transmuted into many diffrent things. These diffrent things converged, and an entire airship began to assemble itself. Within minutes, a Brand new airship, named the Gaiaforce was assembled, and ready to go.

"Well, then, come on. Miss druidess, if you would care to direct our course, while I fly the thing. Wilhelm, stand at the weapons. Loki, climb the crows nest and watch the skies for us. Miss Arie, you simply sit and enjoy the flight." Xos said.

He opened a door to the ship. Everyone began to file inside..

The young mage stood in awe as Xos literally conjured a ship out of broken pieces of the temple. Amazing...

Xos must have called to him more than once as Loki's attention was fully distracted by the incredible act the wizard had just performed. But eventually, Loki heard his call and climbed onto the ship itself. Still half not believing the ship was actually there, he grabbed hold of the rope ladder and began slowly pulling himself up.

The voyage to the top took slightly longer for the black mage than it would for most others due to his stature, but eventually he reached the top and climbed into the crow's nest. When atop the ship, he turned around and gave the thumbs up, "Ready."

And so, he got out, and to the edge.

TDP swung her staff. The Quicksand hardened. However, and arcing blade of Pure Acid went flying at Saacon.

Pyra flew up high, and began a dive towards TDP.

Now stuck in the ground, Saacon used the shield to defend himself. My god, he thought, what I wouldn't give for some guns.

The Ship gave a shudder, then it lifted, and began flying through the air.

Raerae jumped on board before it left. She and Arie sat talking, and giggling.

Things were going pretty smoothly, but then, Loki would be the first to notice, something bright red was flying towards them from the west, through the fairy realm. Big explosiens were trailing it.

OOC: You could've done this with your own post, and gone on to shoot TDP.

IC: Saacon's new magick formed a pair of guns for him, based off whatever gun image he had in his mind. Somehow he would know he would not have to worry about bullets, just energy to make more bullets.

It lead down into a large room.

The Undead began moaning.

"N...O......E.....S.....C.....A.....P....E.....!!!" over and over.

The entire soup began to shamble over to her. Thousands of undead. It would take more than a simple iceblade to destroy the Swarm.

Forming ice weapons out of atmospheric mositure was child's play compared to the big powers of a fully trained Dark Paradine. Of course, as she was still a student, Emma didn't have all the Dark tricks up her sleeves, but she was more than profecient(sp?) with her Ice.

Thus, she rammed her ice katana into the ground to create a freezing shockwave of magickal energy. She was combining the natural moisture of the rotting undead with the atmospheric moisture around them to flash freeze them en mass. Pulling her ice katana from the ground, she walked over to one of the flash frozen undead and gave it a swift kick to the crotch. She smirked as she watched the corpse-sickle(sp?) shatter before walking away.

"Now," she thought, "If I can just find where the Route Of Ages pops into this reality, I can see about getting home by my own will instead of that Doorkeeper."

OOC: @Ri-an: If that was a little too much, let me know and I'll change it. TBH, IMHO, that wasn't exactly that high up on the power list. Though, if some survived unfrozen, its all right with me if things go that route.
Oh, and to me, Ice is a seperate Element, but more related to that of Water than Fire. Cold and Heat are sub-Elements of Thermics. Of course, my magick Elements are more based on the ones from RL myth and mysticism than science based.
@Angermanland: That wasn't very mature. Learn to live with the unexpected, dude. You can't always get what you want.

The Ship gave a shudder, then it lifted, and began flying through the air.

Raerae jumped on board before it left. She and Arie sat talking, and giggling.

Things were going pretty smoothly, but then, Loki would be the first to notice, something bright red was flying towards them from the west, through the fairy realm. Big explosiens were trailing it.

Loki attempted to sit down in the crow's nest, but he soon figured out that he wouldn't be able to see anything if he did. His short stature required that he stand in order to peer out, and so he did...

A little while later, as Loki scanned the horizons in both directions, he noticed a bright red figure coming towards the ship. Without enough time to climb down, Loki amplified his voice as best he could and called out, "XOS! LOOK OVER THERE!"

OOC: You could've done this with your own post, and gone on to shoot TDP.

IC: Saacon's new magick formed a pair of guns for him, based off whatever gun image he had in his mind. Somehow he would know he would not have to worry about bullets, just energy to make more bullets.

Laughing maniacly, Saacon created a SAW and opened up on his enemy, spitting out a constant stream of hot metal death. IGnoring the smoking shell casings that were starting to pile up around him, he continued to laugh and fire.

~snip~

The dead, all died, or at least no longer moved. When Emma turned around, she would find another person behind her.

His hair was white as Snow, his skin was white as snow, his eyes were crystal white, but seemed to be grey. His lips, were black, so black as to be as black as the great reaches of Space itself.

His clothes were just as black. He had a silk dress shirt, Leather pants, leather boots, and a cape that covered it all.

He held a sword in his hand, HIS sword, the only sword of its kind, The Sacrifice. He just looked at her, grinned, and chuckled.

It was Kajeenith, once known as The Mad God of Darkness in the Ns realms, feared and hated by many. Nobody would blame Emma if she felt fear at being in his presence. He was diffrent now. Now he was the reformed God of The infinite nothing. Which of course, That was Where Emma was.

"So, you dare to freely wander The Infinite Nothing? Intresting, I've never had a willing victim before. I wander just how strong you are?" He said in a voice that was far beyond creepy.

Loki attempted to sit down in the crow's nest, but he soon figured out that he wouldn't be able to see anything if he did. His short stature required that he stand in order to peer out, and so he did...

A little while later, as Loki scanned the horizons in both directions, he noticed a bright red figure coming towards the ship. Without enough time to climb down, Loki amplified his voice as best he could and called out, "XOS! LOOK OVER THERE!"

Xos tried to outrun it, but it did not work. Wilhelm tried shooting it down, but it dodged so well.

Xos tried casting a Massive gravity spell, but it was absorbed.

It was a Gigantic machine.

It caught up to the airship, soared above Loki, and brought its hand crashing down on the crows nest, destroying it, causi9ng Loki to fall.

Xos banished the debries, but slowed Loki's fall to a safe bump.

The Machine kept speed but did nothing else.

Then, HE appeared. He had warned Loki once before, not to interfere with the Reality he was in, now he was back. His Red hair flowing behind him. His menacing Red eyes fixed on Loki, in a murderous Glare. His dark Leather clothes rustled silently. Great Red Energy eminated from him.

Then he spoke, and though he spoke no louder than a whisper, nobody had trouble hearing him. There was also something about his voice, that drove brave men and women alike, to fear so great, that it bordered on hysteria.

"So, Loki. You chose to ignore my warning. Now you've gone and changed many things. The fairy that claims to be your wife was to meet and fall in love with the fairy prince, becoming the next queen. Your "Friends" Were to die at Summers hands, but you saved them, and defeated her. Now Autumn and winter's powers will spread, and choke this world. Instead of a new order arising, this Reality shall die, because YOU interfered. now you shall have to suffer, for single handedly being the instrument of the death of a Key Reality. Last time, I had asked if you were Strong, now we shall find out, now you will be my playtoy for today." Id, the Demon of Elru said.

He walked slowly over to Loki.

"NOOOOO!!! Cried raerae. She zoomed over and stood infront of Loki.

Id simply punched her once, with great strength.

Her color seemed to leave her, and she fluttered and fell at Loki's feet.

"Loki..." Was the last thing she said, before she died, and turned into so much fairy dust.

"Heh, heheh, hahahaha. HAHAHAHAHA!" Id laughed, enjoying the sight of an innocent bystander dying.

"Well, it seems you don't have to worry about the old ball and chain anymore!" Id said while laughing at Raerae's death.

Wilhelm looked shocked and Angry.

Xos clenched his fist in anger and prepared to cast great spells at ID.

Arie and Druidess held each other and cried.

Then he turned to Loki, and and sent his fist flying at Loki with such speed and strength, as to destroy boulders.

Laughing maniacly, Saacon created a SAW and opened up on his enemy, spitting out a constant stream of hot metal death. IGnoring the smoking shell casings that were starting to pile up around him, he continued to laugh and fire.
TDP put up a sheild to stop the bullets.

She tuirned to Pyra.

Pyra was closing in with a cruel looking sword.

TDP used her staff and batted Pyra out of her intended path.

Then she turned back to Saacon.

The shell casings were piling up. Appearently he had never heard of self-control.

The casings glowed slightly, then fused to make a snake out of the shell casings. It was very poisonus, 3 times deadlier than a Cobra. It hissed, and went to bite Saacon.

Loki had never felt the way about Raerae that she did about him, but seeing her disintegrate into dust like that - for him - stirred something inside of him... It was a dark and angry emotion that bubbled and frothed as it rose to the surface, before finally spilling over, breaking Loki's normally calm veneer.

The young mage's eye's squeezed together and his jaw clamped down as this intense ire overtook him. He began shaking violently as it coursed through him, before finally... he snapped. In an instant, his eyes shot open and where the normal calm yellow laid, stood passionate flames burning. No longer could he hold it in, and so it came flying out. He screamed with all of the force he could and out came the waves of energy...

Day became night, clear became cloudy, light became dark... Bolts of lightning crackled through the sky as the air filled with currents of electricity. Loki himself was engulfed in a blaze of flames that expanded from his body outward. Even at this height, the land far below was being affected; the rocks and boulders began shaking as they rose into the sky towards the source of power - many of them shattered from the electrical currents as they rose, but still they continued upwards. Tiny pieces of debris and shrapnel surrounded the mage as they were pulled in by the power...

And then... it happened. Loki's emotion finally poured out as a massive sphere of energy shot forward at his enemy...

It hit Id full force. He knelt.

"Well, seems like your stronger than expected. You are still weak though. Allow me to demonstrate why." ID said.

He got to his feet, a Dark ball of energy shot out at loki, but retracted before it ever got there.

Id turned black, and a great field of black engulfed him.

Loki could feel his magick being drained, being stolen. Even Xos gasped in shock.

Then it disappeared.

Loki would find himself unable to do anything stronger than even the most basic of spells. But it was all temporary.

Id laughed.

Then Id went to Kick Loki like a football.

OOC: Though one good hit in the right spot with a basic spell willl end it.

Such as a big rock to the noggin, unless you can think of something diffrent.

Loki panicked. His energy was being drained and he felt weak against this terror. Summoning what little strength he had left, he used a basic 'move' spell to fling all of the floating debris and shrapnel at Id...

TDP put up a sheild to stop the bullets.

She tuirned to Pyra.

Pyra was closing in with a cruel looking sword.

TDP used her staff and batted Pyra out of her intended path.

Then she turned back to Saacon.

The shell casings were piling up. Appearently he had never heard of self-control.

The casings glowed slightly, then fused to make a snake out of the shell casings. It was very poisonus, 3 times deadlier than a Cobra. It hissed, and went to bite Saacon.

Saacon twisted around so that the snake attempted to sink its fangs through kevlar and ceramic of his vest. tossing aside the SAW, he created another favorite toy of his: a Light Anti-tank Weapon, or LAW. Essentially a disposable rocket launcher, he extended the tube and brought it to his shoulder. "Alright, let's see just how strong that shield of yours is." So saying, he fired, sending the explosive...well, rocketing at her.

The dead, all died, or at least no longer moved. When Emma turned around, she would find another person behind her.

His hair was white as Snow, his skin was white as snow, his eyes were crystal white, but seemed to be grey. His lips, were black, so black as to be as black as the great reaches of Space itself.

"So, you dare to freely wander The Infinite Nothing? Intresting, I've never had a willing victim before. I wander just how strong you are?" He said in a voice that was far beyond creepy.

"So that's what this place is called," Emma said with mild surprise.

No matter how often she met quiet people, it was still unnerving the way they could show up without a sound.

"And you would be?" she asked while calmly pulling her ice katana from the ground.

Loki panicked. His energy was being drained and he felt weak against this terror. Summoning what little strength he had left, he used a basic 'move' spell to fling all of the floating debris and shrapnel at Id...

Id stopped, and knealt.

"Next time, I won't be so forgiving." Id said.

"There won't be a next time, Id, you have failed me. Next time, I'll simply take care of matters myself." Kajeenith's voice said. It sounded, of all things, to be coming from Loki himself.

Id screamed as unseen energy lanced through him and uncreated him.

So saying, he fired, sending the explosive...well, rocketing at her.

The rocket curved, went up, turned, and came down on Pyra. Pyra just kinda layed there, quietly, too quietly.

TDP stopped.

She turned to Saacon.

"And now you Die." she said.

Suddenly, Pyra became fire and restrained TDP.

"Quickly, kill her, with pure magickal force. Let the power guide you." Pyra shouted in a disembodied voice.

"So that's what this place is called," Emma said with mild surprise.

No matter how often she met quiet people, it was still unnerving the way they could show up without a sound.

"And you would be?" she asked while calmly pulling her ice katana from the ground.

"I am, I am the one who is not. Think back upon history. Once, I was known as the Mad God of Darkness, and far and wide I was feared for many a century, even by those who followed me. All shunned me, even the other Dark Gods, for unlike all the rest, I had no restraint. And then I grew stronger." Kajeenith said.

His image wavered, and disappeared, only to appear further away. Then the entire place just faded to black. Only Kajeenith was visable.

"I am still the Mad God of darkness, and with the power of Nothing itself at my command I am without Equal or measure. Can your teachers say the same of their prowess and skill?" Kajeenith asked.

The black grew lighter, as dawn broke over the mountain top Emma found herself on.

Kajeenith had taken her to another reality.

In a village far below, people began to sing praises to the sun god for banishing the darkness. The Sungod, who sat in the sun, in turn sang back a reply of blessings.

"Listen to them. They still feel theat the light is the most powerful force. They feel that nothing is stronger. It is the basis of the oldest power in all realities, accross all levels, no matter the Creation, the Omnisource. The Omni is known by many names in many places. Yet, what is this Omni, really? Is it Real? Some think so. Many cry out to the Omni, in many ways, and by many names, yet does it ever respond? No. Otherwise, how could i be, even as a figure of nothing?" Kajeenith asked.

Emma would feel a rising sense of danger.

Kajeenith reached out with one hand, and destroyed the reality they were in. The last thing she would hear from it, were the cries of fear as the villigers God fell from his throne in the sun, dead. All was Dark.

" Emma, little student. You stand before the ultimate source. For the Omni does not exist. I do not exist, and within my powers, I can give reality, and I can take Reality." Kajeenith said.

Kajeenith drew back his hand, and the reality that was destroyed, was re-created once more, yet it felt, dirty, it no longer held the innocence it did before, as by Kajeeniths single act, Evil krept into reality, and in the Sungod's heart, it found fertile soil in the Sungod's loathing hatred of Kajeenith, and it was the innocent villagers who would pay,. Innocent villagers, who would someday rise against their own creator, and both would destroy each other, ultimatly uncreating the creation forever.

Kajeenith laughed heartily and everything went black.


They were back where they were before, in the Infinite nothing.

"To answer your Question, I am the father of all things, for it is from me all things come, and to me all things shall return. No kneel before me and worship at my feet, or forever wander blind in the infinite nothing." Kajeenith said.

OOC: You DID ask who he was. Remember that. Kajeenith is not the Omnisource though, remember that also, though if Emma mentions or even thinks it, Kajeenith will destroy her.

Id stopped, and knealt.

"Next time, I won't be so forgiving." Id said.

"There won't be a next time, Id, you have failed me. Next time, I'll simply take care of matters myself." Kajeenith's voice said. It sounded, of all things, to be coming from Loki himself.

Id screamed as unseen energy lanced through him and uncreated him.

As Id disappeared, Loki regained himself and began looking around frantically. "Are you guys okay?" he asked loudly as he looked for the others whom he had forgotten about during the quick battle.

They were ok, if somewhat shocked.

Xos resumed flying.

Everything disappeared.

Loki saw an entire army's worth of weaponry flying at him. He was on a plain with no where to run, and nowhere to hide, and no magick.

Everything returned, there were no weapons, or were there?

Kajeenith, was beginning a new, slow attack, designed to drive Loki insane.

It was all just an illusion, just a fantasy. Those weapons were not real, right?

Yet this Reality was real, and not an illusion. Loki was not back in his cave having a passing dream. So did that mean the weapons were real? it was a question that would be long in recieving an answer.

"Huh?! What's happening!?" Loki panicked as everything disappeared and was replaced by thousands upon thousands of swords, axes, arrows, and all other kinds of weapons flying at him. He tried to move out of the way, but they seemed to follow him...

And then everything was gone. "Was that real?" Loki wondered. Whether it was or not, Loki decided to try to put a barrier in his mind against outside influences... however, he hadn't used this type of magic often and it would probably be weak and passable.

Xos settled back into flying. Soon, they landed at the foot of a great mountain. It was so tall. It was taller than the forest, bigger than a large meteor, and was almost a small world in and of itself. It was no wonder that the mountains were known as The Wall. Xos went to fixing the airship, others were helping.

OOC: really, this will go quicker if you wander off by yourself. No one would think twice, all things considered.

[ooc: Okay]

This new place they had arrived at was amazing large. Everything here seemed big. Loki thought his little cave dwelling could fit at least... thirty-four times in this place.

While the others dilly-dallied around and worked on the ship, Loki wandered off by himself around and up, looking at the new place on which they had just landed.

[ooc: Out of curiosity, what time zone are you on.]

[ooc: Okay]

This new place they had arrived at was amazing large. Everything here seemed big. Loki thought his little cave dwelling could fit at least... thirty-four times in this place.

While the others dilly-dallied around and worked on the ship, Loki wandered off by himself around and up, looking at the new place on which they had just landed.

[ooc: Out of curiosity, what time zone are you on.]
Everyone noticed him leave, but assumed he simply needed time alone.

Outside, Loki found trees he could actually term as normal size. This of course would be a mistake, because they were actually baby saplings.

Then the earth gaveway beneath him as he wandered, nd he found himself falling into an underground cavern, which was not just any underground cavern, but an entire underground city.

Just before he hit bottom, a voice somewhere yelled "Golech! I thought I told you to fix that place in the ceiling." The voice sounded rough, and dwarvesh.

OOC: If you choose not to use feather fall or leviatation or something similar, then its deep enough to knock him out, but not kill him. I am on Central time.

Loki continued walking as he noticed trees that appeared to be of a normal size, though still obviously dwarfing the young mage. It was strange to see them so normal next on such a large mountain in such a massive world.

As he was looking, the earth suddenly gave way and Loki fell into the chasm. Screaming the whole way down, the mage didn't know the spells to stop his plight well enough for them to be instinct. As he hit the hard floor, all he saw was darkness...

One of two things would happen, either he would wake up on his own, in a hospital bed, or he wuld be woken up, on a hospital bed.

In either case, it wouldn't be long, before a woman hidden entirely in veils, entered the room. By her stature and gait, she was obviously dwarfen.

"Are you ok?" She would ask.

The figure who appeared in front of Loki was short and somewhat heavy even when covered by her garments. The young mage had to blink a few times before regaining his composure.

"Umm... I guess," he responded as he sat up in bed and rubbed his side.

"You fell into the Dwarvenholt Mountain wall. How is Warana and the others of your kind doing? We haven't seen another black mage for a few thousand years." She said.

OOC: Actually, their based off Loki. And they look like the BMD's from FFXI, like Loki.

"Umm... huh?" Loki said, though he actually had to think about it before realizing he was confused. They must be mistaken as Loki had never seen someone like him before. But then... they had called him a black mage...

[ooc: Who, the dwarves or the people they are talking about?]

OOC:The people the dwarf nurse was talking about. Here, I'll show you.

IC: "Yeah, every few thousand years one wanders over from Warana's Reality. Oh! How could I have forgotten? 35? oh 35?" She called.

In strolled a a being that looked alot like loki, so much they could have been the same species.

Mr. 35 just stared at Loki in shock.

OOC: sadly, I have no pics of the black Mage dolls the kuja created. Or the Black Waltzes.

Loki stared back in equal shock, unable to say or do anything as a sudden paralysis had overtaken him.


[ooc: Hmmm... this could get kind of hairy as Loki was supposed to be one of a kind.]

OOC: A pic of a group of Black Mage dolls. Mr. 35 knows the history of his kind, and can explain things ICly. Warfarecreated them based off Vivi, their clones of him, yet, diffrent.

Ic:

"Its, you. I mean, Almighty Warfare speaks so fondly of you. I never thought I would, see you, have the supreme honor of meeting you. Mr 378 will be so jealous!" mr 35 said.

"I am, I am the one who is not. Think back upon history. Once, I was known as the Mad God of Darkness, and far and wide I was feared for many a century, even by those who followed me. All shunned me, even the other Dark Gods, for unlike all the rest, I had no restraint. And then I grew stronger." Kajeenith said.

His image wavered, and disappeared, only to appear further away. Then the entire place just faded to black. Only Kajeenith was visable.

"I am still the Mad God of darkness, and with the power of Nothing itself at my command I am without Equal or measure. Can your teachers say the same of their prowess and skill?" Kajeenith asked.

The black grew lighter, as dawn broke over the mountain top Emma found herself on.

Kajeenith had taken her to another reality.

In a village far below, people began to sing praises to the sun god for banishing the darkness. The Sungod, who sat in the sun, in turn sang back a reply of blessings.

"Listen to them. They still feel theat the light is the most powerful force. They feel that nothing is stronger. It is the basis of the oldest power in all realities, accross all levels, no matter the Creation, the Omnisource. The Omni is known by many names in many places. Yet, what is this Omni, really? Is it Real? Some think so. Many cry out to the Omni, in many ways, and by many names, yet does it ever respond? No. Otherwise, how could i be, even as a figure of nothing?" Kajeenith asked.

Emma would feel a rising sense of danger.

Kajeenith reached out with one hand, and destroyed the reality they were in. The last thing she would hear from it, were the cries of fear as the villigers God fell from his throne in the sun, dead. All was Dark.

" Emma, little student. You stand before the ultimate source. For the Omni does not exist. I do not exist, and within my powers, I can give reality, and I can take Reality." Kajeenith said.

Kajeenith drew back his hand, and the reality that was destroyed, was re-created once more, yet it felt, dirty, it no longer held the innocence it did before, as by Kajeeniths single act, Evil krept into reality, and in the Sungod's heart, it found fertile soil in the Sungod's loathing hatred of Kajeenith, and it was the innocent villagers who would pay,. Innocent villagers, who would someday rise against their own creator, and both would destroy each other, ultimatly uncreating the creation forever.

Kajeenith laughed heartily and everything went black.


They were back where they were before, in the Infinite nothing.

"To answer your Question, I am the father of all things, for it is from me all things come, and to me all things shall return. No kneel before me and worship at my feet, or forever wander blind in the infinite nothing." Kajeenith said.

OOC: You DID ask who he was. Remember that. Kajeenith is not the Omnisource though, remember that also, though if Emma mentions or even thinks it, Kajeenith will destroy her.

OOC: Lol, stall tactic. Plus, if Emma gets him in a friendly mood, she may just find herself with an ally. She may be cold as ice, but she knows how and when to use tact.
Oh, and sorry for the delay between posts. I almost forgot about this thread.

IC: With her ice katana remaining unseathed, but in an unthreatening at-ease position, Emma listened to Kajeenith.

When he was finished, she said, without a trace of emotion in her voice, "Restraints only exist to protect the weak. Its only natural that the strong survive and the weak perish. Some say, 'if you got it, flaunt it.' However, I, and most others I know, are secure in our Dark Empire.

"Though I've never heard of you before this, that doesn't mean someone else in Shadow SeaQuest hasn't. Perhaps you would find an encounter with the Abyss enlightening," she allowed a quick amused smile to flash across her face for a moment at the realization of the pun she had acidently(sp?) made, "I'm sure he would find an encounter with you of interest. Two powerful beings with control of Darkness would make potent allies.

"Though, I was wondering, if you don't exist, as you say, how could you be standing here in front of me?

"As for kneeling, you'll have to do better than that to impress me. The power to create and destroy is nothing new in my experience. If you want me to, you are going to have to show me something I've not heard the Abyss could do as well. So, what else do you have up your sleeve?"

OOC: Note, she never confirmed or denied Kajeenith as the Omnisource. Nor did she suggest that the Abyss was more powerful (which some SSQians would think (she's holding judgement until she has more data on both)).
As for why she's not kneeling to worship Kajeenith, well, he's not shown her anything the Abyss is not credited to be able to do according to the majority of SSQians (of course, as she's not met the Abyss (who technically even has his own reality to call home), she doesn't know if they are true or not, and thus holds judgement).

OOC: The following is complete 100% illuson, and should rightfully be ignored by all of Nationstates. However, let me stress again, this is an Illusion, stronger than what 99.99% of all mages can cast. To Emma and emma alone, the following event is completly real. However, bear in mind, it is not actually happening.

IC:

Kajeenith reached out, and unmade the Abyss, and all the rest of the NS reality, and the legendary secret reality known only as the Real World. All of emma's friends, family, everyone she ever knew, ever had feelings for, in any way, were gone. Then Kajeenith and everything else faded away, and disappeared, leaving Emma alone, in the infinite Nothing, Forever.

IC:

"Warfare talks about me?" Loki asked, slightly confused and still in shock about seeing someone that looked even remotely similar to him.

Why do they call themselves by numbers...?

"Yes, you know, Warfare the great and powerful God known to become an even stronger Diety when he merges with his Wife Arianna, to become the near perfect entity, Warana. Anyways, He still remembers you and the rest from a White tower somewhere far away." Mr. 35 said.

"So what about you?" Loki asked, still slightly confused about the whole situation.

The White Tower he remembered well and even talk of Warfare's presence, but what of this 'Mr. 35.'

"So what about you?" Loki asked, still slightly confused about the whole situation.

The White Tower he remembered well and even talk of Warfare's presence, but what of this 'Mr. 35.'
"I wandered into a portal and found myself here. I helpput the dwarfs to earn my keep." Mr.35 said.

"Where were you before you wandered into the portal?" Loki asked, curious if he had come from the same place as Loki had.

"I was in the Village of The Black Mages, in Warfare's Reality." Mr. 35 said.

"There's a whole village?" Loki marveled. However, at the same time he realized that Mr. 35 was talking about 'Warfare's Reality' and that could entail anything.

"Yes, The Black Waltz is the leader of the Village." Mr.35 said.

"Waltz?" Loki had never heard the word before. Perhaps it was just a title given to one of them.

No matter, are you feeling better?" Mr. 35 asked.

No matter, are you feeling better?" Mr. 35 asked.

"Hmmm? Oh yeah... I think so," Loki replied. The shock of seeing Mr. 35 had made him forget all about the pain in his side from falling through the ground.

"Hmmm? Oh yeah... I think so," Loki replied. The shock of seeing Mr. 35 had made him forget all about the pain in his side from falling through the ground.
"Well, then are you going to lay there all your life?" Mr.35 asked.

"I guess not..." Loki said as he slowly fot out of the bed he was lying on and got to his feet.

"I guess not..." Loki said as he slowly fot out of the bed he was lying on and got to his feet.

"Mow its your turn, how did you come to be here?" Mr. 35 asked.

"I fell through the ground and landed on the floor... then I woke up in bed," Loki commented, describing how he arrived in the underground village.

"Dear me. Did you upset Lady Autum? I hear she's fond of throwing people around." Mr. 35 said.

"Maybe I did. I don't think Spring and Summer liked me that much. They were kind of mean," Loki admitted, remembering the two he did battle with.

"You could ask her, her temple is in the northren part of the city. I heard an Elf, a Merwoman, and a woman all in green were headed there looking for a child in blue robes and a pointy hat. I'm sure she'll be most delighted to talk to you after she's through assisting those three with finding their friend. Meanwhile Elder Xos has agreed to take me back to Warfare's Realm! Isn't that exciting?" Mr. 35 said.

"Can you take me to the temple?" Loki inquired. "I need to find my friends and talk to Autumn."

"Can you take me to the temple?" Loki inquired. "I need to find my friends and talk to Autumn."
Mr.35 nodded. He took out a bag of holding and unfurled a flying carpet.

"Everyone's so jealous that I have one, and it was costly too. I had to spend 537902 Gold for it. Step on, the city's huge, we'll simply fly over the top." Mr.35 said.

"Where did you get the money?" Loki asked, trying to make conversation with this fascinating individual as they rode over the city to their destination.

" I have a shop selling magick stuff to non-magick people."

"Ohhh... how interesting," Loki replied. He had always been interested in little magickal trinkets and the like. "What kind of stuff do you sell?"

"All sorts of stuff, the usual mostly, but people seem to think that my items are stronger and of higher quality than most places in Fantasia." Mr.35 said.

"I've never heard of Fantasia... but that sounds like it is good for you," Loki replied as he thought about his last stop at a magickal store a little while back.

The rocket curved, went up, turned, and came down on Pyra. Pyra just kinda layed there, quietly, too quietly.

TDP stopped.

She turned to Saacon.

"And now you Die." she said.

Suddenly, Pyra became fire and restrained TDP.

"Quickly, kill her, with pure magickal force. Let the power guide you." Pyra shouted in a disembodied voice.

Concentrating in the same way he had made the weapons, Saacon let loose what magick he had, unleashing it upon his enemy. Once he was done, he tried and failed to pull himself out of the ground. Sighing, he shrugged and created a small shovel with which he began to dig himself out.

OOC: Sorry for the long delay in posting. I've been really busy the past couple of weeks.

"I've never heard of Fantasia... but that sounds like it is good for you," Loki replied as he thought about his last stop at a magickal store a little while back.

"Fantasia, Warfare's Reality." Mr.35 said.

They landed at a massive temple cut into the earth.

"I'm too scared to go, you go." Mr.35 said.

OOC: No prob.

IC: TDP va nished, defeated.

Pyra sighed, pointed at Saacon and Teleported him out of the hole he was in.

It felt like being ripped into 35 million pieces, then reassembled elsewhere.

Pyra sighed, pointed at Saacon and Teleported him out of the hole he was in.

"Ouch." Saacon deadpanned. "Well, that was fun. Do I level up or was she guarding an important item or can we finally get off this effing plane?!"

"Fantasia, Warfare's Reality." Mr.35 said.

They landed at a massive temple cut into the earth.

"I'm too scared to go, you go." Mr.35 said.

"Why are the seasons all so mean," Loki asked as he stepped off the carpet and turned to see Mr. 35... hopefully not for the last time.

"Ouch." Saacon deadpanned. "Well, that was fun. Do I level up or was she guarding an important item or can we finally get off this effing plane?!"
"Relax, the Cave is only three miles away." Pyra said.

Three miles later...

"See?" She said.

The cave glowed with a strange light, and seemed to have no back, it did not branch, it did not bend or curve or turn in the slightest. Crystals grew out of the wall.

"Why are the seasons all so mean," Loki asked as he stepped off the carpet and turned to see Mr. 35... hopefully not for the last time.

" From the stories and legends, something is twisting them to evil." Mr.35 said as he slowly ascended upward and away.

"Alright... thank you for everything," Loki said as he waved good bye. Such a pity that they didn't have more time to talk with each other, but his friends could be in danger and Autumn was close.

He walked into the temple and began wandering about in search of the third sister.


[ooc: Are they sisters? I thought I might have read that, but I am probably wrong.]

OOC: Yes and no. Each Season looks EXACTLY the same as the last, except for Seasonal Diffrences:

Spring: Flower buds and young plant shoots.

Summer: Flowers in Full Bloom

Autumn: ???

Wnter: ???

IC: When Loki entered the Temple, he found it full of Delicous Fruiits and vegetables, and many dwarfs taking them away to the city. Great aged vines were all throughout the Temple as he made his way in, each barring a certain Fruit or Vegetable. They were safe enough to eat. However now he was faced with a decision, Climb a vine to another floor, enter a door on his right, or eat a particularly juicy piece of fruit to his left.

OOC: You decide the fruit.

"Relax, the Cave is only three miles away." Pyra said.

Three miles later...

"See?" She said.

The cave glowed with a strange light, and seemed to have no back, it did not branch, it did not bend or curve or turn in the slightest. Crystals grew out of the wall.

"Well, finally. Just how far does this go back, and is it inhabited?" Saacon was hungry and attempted to use his magick to make a sandwich. "Are you hungry?"

Loki was always wary about eating food of an unknown origin, especially when it existed in the home of someone who most likely wanted to kill him, but the others there seemed to think it was okay and he was hungry, having not eaten in a long time. So Loki picked the pomegranate and took a bite.

"Well, finally. Just how far does this go back, and is it inhabited?" Saacon was hungry and attempted to use his magick to make a sandwich. "Are you hungry?"

"I no longer need food. It has been deemed impossible to measure this tunnel's depth, and measurement was stopped at a depth of 500,000 Lightyears, yet within 15 or sixteen steps, one arrives at the other end, therefore, how deep is it really?" Pyra asked.

"I no longer need food. It has been deemed impossible to measure this tunnel's depth, and measurement was stopped at a depth of 500,000 Lightyears, yet within 15 or sixteen steps, one arrives at the other end, therefore, how deep is it really?" Pyra asked.

"Uh-huh, sure. And how exactly do you measure a tunnel in lightyears? You are aware that's not possible, right?" Saacon finished his sandwich and advanced into the tunnle.

Loki was always wary about eating food of an unknown origin, especially when it existed in the home of someone who most likely wanted to kill him, but the others there seemed to think it was okay and he was hungry, having not eaten in a long time. So Loki picked the pomegranate and took a bite.
"It was twice as delicous and twice as Juicy as Loki remembered Pomgranites being.

Behind the Pomgranete, was a long hallway. There was still the Vine and door though.

"Uh-huh, sure. And how exactly do you measure a tunnel in lightyears? You are aware that's not possible, right?" Saacon finished his sandwich and advanced into the tunnle.

As Saacon advanced he found he was unable to stop. The Crystals shone brilliantly, and the cave began to rotate, or was it Saacon who was Rotating? Then, the most disturbing thing happened, His body dissolved into light, yet Saacon did not die. He shot down the tunnel at the speed of Light, and all time seemed to stop.

Light shot at him, became one with him, the tunnel seemed to dissolve. Saacon shot past Diffrent Realities. Realities so diffrent that the mere concept of them could not be defined in Saacon's language. He saw Realities Die, and Realities Spawn. He saw loki in Autumn's Temple, he saw Emma in the Infinite nothing, and he saw Kajeenith. For Emma, the following event never happened.

Kajeenith reached out, and grabbed Saacon, even though he was just light, for to cross Reality, was to Cross Nothing, and he was nothings master.

"So, not only do you dare to injure my Priestess, you dare to cross my domain. My, that's Quite the backbone you have. I'm afraid I'll have to snap it. Oh, but not here, I'm entertaining this Doxie who's trying to trick me into being her friend. What a Drip. So now you cross to Frez, the Key Reality of Ice. Most Realities I don't care, but you and others screw with the Key Realities, the Realities upon which all others draw some form of definition, Realities that alter themselves to match the Reality from which you come, which is why you can so easily understand them. I'm afraid that if you do not cease and decist immediatly if not sooner, I'm afraid i will simply have to uncreate you. You will cease to be. There will be no body, no soul, no power, no memory. It will be as though your parents never had you, your children will cease to be, your grandchildren, everything. Do not pretend as if I do not have the power, fool. Haha, what's that? trying to break free? trying to harm me with your petty magick most Drow children can counter?
I AM GOD, YOU ARE MORTAL. YOU CANNOT EVEN SO MUCH AS MAKE A DENT IN MY SOFT SILKEN SHIRT." Kajeenith roared.

He slammed Saacon to the ground. Saacon materialized and became solid.

"You Failed. You screwed up. You crossed The Mad God. Now you Die." Kajeenith said suddenly calm.

The Infinite Nothing shifted, and he found himself next to Pyra, who looked like she had been the victim of a severe beating. They were in a massive stonework castle, in a room containing a bed, upon which Pyra lay, bleeding, rich tapestries detailing gruesome tortures, a table, holding a basin of water, and a pitcher, and a wooden stool. The door was closed, but not locked.

OOC: Congratulations, effectivly, you have reached the home stretch, but now, must wait for DMG to catch up, but he's almost there. Meanwhile, explore the castle, you might even find Emma, or the way out, and home.

The reason being, the last part was meant to be tackled by everyone as a group, or at least, large groups. You by yourself, cannot defeat Kajeenith. The Infinite nothing has no shape, no form, so therefore, I can legitimatly stall until your all three there. Then, it ends, and not in a pretty peace-filled manner.

"It was twice as delicous and twice as Juicy as Loki remembered Pomgranites being.

Behind the Pomgranete, was a long hallway. There was still the Vine and door though.

As he continued to eat the pomegranate, Loki walked down the hallway into the door.

It lead to a long twisting hallway.

At the end of this Hallway, was a door to his left, a door to his right, of a drop down a deep pit to a third door going straight ahead.

At the end of this Hallway, was a door to his left, a door to his right, of a drop down a deep pit to a third door going straight ahead.

"Why so many choices..." Loki sighed. After gazing over the three paths he made the choice to continue straight, down into the pit and through the door ahead.

He found Druidess all alone trying to decide which hallway to travel.

"Hey!" Loki called as he saw the Druidess ahead of him. "You find her yet?"

"LOKI! Thank Gaia I found someone. We got worried when you wandered off and never came back. We assumed Autum got you, so we came her to look for you and her, but, we got lost, and seperated. I have no idea where to go. Xos is staying with the ship." She said.

"Alright. Let's stick together... it'll be safer that way," Loki commented as he walked up to her.

"We need to find them before Autumn does..."

"Alright. Let's stick together... it'll be safer that way," Loki commented as he walked up to her.

"We need to find them before Autumn does..."
Agreed, but which way, left or right?

"Who knows... let's just go left first," Loki commented as he started off to the left.

"Who knows... let's just go left first," Loki commented as he started off to the left.
Left, lead to a room with the largest fruits and vegetables seen anywhere. There was a grap that was almost the size of Loki next to the doorway.

There was a rustling inside, somewhere, womone was in here, but with all the large fruits and vegetables, who was it?

"Hello?" Loki called out. He knew it would most likely be fruitless (pardon the pun), but it worth a shot anyway.

If that did not work, he would have to go in and look for the figure that was making the noise.

The rustling got a little farther away, but not much.

"Maybe they didn't hear you?" Druidess offered.

"You wanna try?" Loki suggested, knowing that he did not have a very loud voice.

"Sure, but lets move in closer." Druidess said.

Kajeenith reached out, and unmade the Abyss, and all the rest of the NS reality, and the legendary secret reality known only as the Real World. All of emma's friends, family, everyone she ever knew, ever had feelings for, in any way, were gone. Then Kajeenith and everything else faded away, and disappeared, leaving Emma alone, in the infinite Nothing, Forever.

OOC: TBH, I was actually giving you permission to pull out some of the stops in regards to what Kajeenith could do. I thought it would be interesting to have him air out some of his more interesting powers and abilities.

IC: Emma, as a Shadow SeaQuestian, had the phrase 'the strong survive and the weak perish' ingrained into her psyche for quite some time. Thus, she knew that her current circumstances presented a three possible answers. Either she was trapped in a prison for the mind, this Kajeenith was a master of great illusionary skills, or she really was the last surviving and thus, by inferance, the strongest. Though, not one to let the idea of success go to her head so soon, she decided to test the other options first.
So, she started with the prison of the mind possibility first. To test it, she would use the knowledge that in her mind, her counciousness was supreme in all things. Thus, she pictured a door forming in front of her that would lead her to a realm where she would find someone to talk to as she knew intel would be a key no matter the situation. If it wasn't a prison of the mind, but a true illusion taking place outside the body, no door would appear.

"Sure, but lets move in closer." Druidess said.

"Alright..." Loki said as he took a few steps closer to the opening and leaned in, waiting for Druidess to call for the being.

OOC: I never said i was done, I just wanted reactions. So, you want to plumb the depths of his mind, see his more interesting powers? Well, there are somethings that just are not suitable for NS, no matter how freeform it is. But I will go, deeper.

IC:

This place was an illusion of Kajeenith's mind. So, he became a door, what it would lead to, was a seemingly innocent world, full of beauty. When Emma stepped through it, it would reveal its true nature.

"Alright..." Loki said as he took a few steps closer to the opening and leaned in, waiting for Druidess to call for the being.
Druidess did call.

"Hey! come help me move this giant Squash." Called a woman's voice.

"Arie?" Druidess called.

"Who?" called back the voice.

"Nevermind." Druidess called.

"I could use help though, this squash has me pinned down something fierce." called the woman.

"We're coming!" she called.

She ran towards the voice.

Loki ran after her, though he doubted that he was strong enough to move these giant fruits.

Loki ran after her, though he doubted that he was strong enough to move these giant fruits.
The door slammed shut, and Metal ran down the walls, sealing them in.

The fruits and vegetables up and rearranged themselves neatly along the walls.

Autumn stood up, and turned to look at Loki and Druidess.

"Nevermind, I got it. Why did the walls do tthat though, I wonder?" Autumn said.

"What? Your, not attacking us?" Druidess asked.

"Goodheavens no! Why on earth would I ever do that?" She asked, positivly mortified at the thought.

"What's going on here?" Loki wondered. Was this a trick or was she honestly as clueless as they were?

"What's going on here?" Loki wondered. Was this a trick or was she honestly as clueless as they were?

"That's what I'd like to know. Spring and Summer were like, all trying to kill us." Druidess said.

"LIES!" Autumn shouted upset.

"We do not have the power to harm or heal, all four of us are gentle by nature. We would never harm a soul." Atumn said.

Druidess bravely faced her.

"Then tell us, tell us why Spring kidnapped me, tell s why Loki had to fight both of them to defend himself. Tell us why they and winter have been waging war accross the land." Druidess said.

Autumn's eyes burned with rage.

"Listen. Its impossible, Mother Gaia never gave us the power to harm." Autmn said.

Druidess was about to speak, but anouther spoke.

"Ahh, there you are. Thanks to Young Loki, I was finally able to enter the Dwarven city. Their all under my control now. and now dear, dear autumn, i shall control you now, and kill these two." Said a voice like Autumns. A ball of black energy appeared and consumed Autumn.

Autumn screamed and tried to fight it, but failed.
She fell to the ground.

"Lets get out of here Loki." Druidess said queitly.

She turned, but a 300 pound watermelon splattered against the wall.

A door opened and closed, Wilhelm and Arie shouted

"Loki! Druidess!"
They rushed over.

"You are guilty, of disturbing the order of nature. Spring begins life and brings forth love, but does not beget it, Summer is the eternal aging from young to old, Autumn is the strongest of all, for it is in autumn, that the young are begotten, from the seeds of the old. Now PERISH WITH THE OLD!" She screamed.

Every single fruit and vegitable rose in the air to dash itself against the four.

"Arie! Take cover, Loki, Druidess, Support. I'll take the brunt of this evil season." Wilhelm shouted.

Arie dodged to behind them all. Druidess shapeshifted into a ogress

Wilhelm pulled out his sword and stepped to the front and prepared to slice oncoming vegetables.

OOC: THe only reason all four are there, is because Autumn is hard enough to kill you alone. This way, you have a fighting chance.

A storm of fruit... and massive fruit at that. The others all seemed to be doing something, but what could the young mage do?

Perhaps he could create a powerful gust of wind to fling them to the side. "Everyone... hold on!" Loki cried as he began raising his arms into the air. The fruits were heavy and would require a lot of force to lift and change their course, so Loki called on a very powerful gust of wind to appear with speeds reaching over one hundred miles per hour.

It was all smahed against the far wall, but, then the seeds came flying back at bullet speed. Druidess blocked them with her massive Ogress hands, then knealt to have her wounds healed by Arie. Wilhelm went to hact the Season to pieces, but was soon thrown aside.

Autumn turned to Loki.

Then she raised her hands, and blanketed the entire room in Anti-magick.

She pulled out a dagger, and lunged towards Loki, intending to kill him.

Wilhelm began running towards Loki to save him, but he would not arrive in time. Druidess and Arie were locked in a healing spell. It was all on Loki.

Loki attempted to cast a spell, but it was no use. Apparently there was a field of anti-magick protecting the area.

So he pulled something from his pocket and soon it grew into his white staff. He wasn't terribly good at using it in a melee battle, but it would have to do. As Autumn came closer, he readied himself to either block her or swing and hit her.

Autumn brought her knife closer to Loki's heart.

Autumn brought her knife closer to Loki's heart.

As Autumn bent down to stab the young mage in his heart, Loki swung his longer staff at her incoming head.

She fell down but reached out, grabbed Loki, and threw him against the far wall. Then she removed the anti magick, and teleported away from Wilhelm's blade.

Druidess turned to knock her about, and did, but then a recieved a nasty flesh eating Virus from Autumn.

Autumn was looking ragged.

She cast a spell, and disappeared in a storm of falling leaves. They were many beautiful colors, but now was not the time to admire them. A wind blew them about, and they all had sharp edges, also, they smelled of gunpowder.

As Loki hoped Arie would help to heal the Druidess, he set about countering Autumn's most recent maneuvers. Once again he called upon a strong gust of wind, though this time much lighter, in order to blow the swirling leaves back at Autumn's hidden location.

When he was satisfied that they were away from harm, he sent a spire of flames at them, hoping to set them ablaze and into ash.

The Leaves blew all around, the wi nds countering each other, but they smelled of Gunpowder for a reason.

They all exploded.

Autumn reappeared in a brilliant flash.

She summoned chill winds and blanketed the room in an early Autumn frost, countered with an early autumn rain, then re frozen again. The total result was, that everyone was now wet and cold, therefore more suseptable to disease, which was her next attack, on Loki alone. She inflicted upon him, a disease Arie could ot cure, a supernatural disease that made his magick misfire, or manifest in the totally wrong manner, or worse yet, act when he didn't even want it too.

OOC: Ri-an, check your TGs.
Oh, and having this as an illusion of Kajeenith's mind was clever, not something I would expect OOC or Emma would expect IC.

IC: As beauty was in the eye of the beholder, Emma would not necessarily view what Kajeenith would view as being beautiful. So, when the door opened, she froze the hinges and filled the crack between door and frame with solid blocks of ice far harder than any stone. This way, she theorized, she would be able to come back through if she wished. Though, before she did, she carefully studied what she could see through the door frame for awhile to make sure it wasn't a trap.

OOC: As I'm a bit too tired to think up anymore, I leave it to you, Ri-an, to describe what's on the other side of your door.

IC:

The world inside looked like her home town. Every detail was copied exactly. Kajeenith allowed the nothing to reflect her mind, a little, in order to lure her into the trap.

Bump! This thread is nearly done!

She summoned chill winds and blanketed the room in an early Autumn frost, countered with an early autumn rain, then re frozen again. The total result was, that everyone was now wet and cold, therefore more suseptable to disease, which was her next attack, on Loki alone. She inflicted upon him, a disease Arie could ot cure, a supernatural disease that made his magick misfire, or manifest in the totally wrong manner, or worse yet, act when he didn't even want it too.

The pendant that hung around the young mage's neck glowed brightly as the room froze and refroze. It was his magickal Pendant of Luminance that warmed him up... though it would take slightly more time than was given to him by the possessed Autumn.

The disease struck him hard, though at first he did know of its presence or its effects. Once again Loki struck out hard, attempting to hit the lady with a spire of flames, but when he cast the spell, the entire room lit afire.

Autumn tried to suffocate the fire with many many leaves, butt it only gave the fire fuel.

Druidess meanwhile, cast a great waterspell to put the fire out, but not before Autumn was incinerated in the towering flames.

"Two things I'm wondering, what was that energy, and where did it come from, and Loki, what ever possesed you to potentally kill us all by setting the room ablaze?" Druidess asked.

"I don't know... either," Loki admitted. This experience with Autumn had much stranger than the two previous ones with Spring and Summer, but now only one remained. But there was that 'thing'... that thing that possessed her.

"Lets make sure your okay. Shoot a magick arrow at the far wall." Arie said.

"Lets make sure your okay. Shoot a magick arrow at the far wall." Arie said.

Loki nodded his confirmation as he turned towards the wall and began to cast the spell that would conjure the basic 'magick arrow' and send it towards his target.

[ooc: I will leave what actually happens up to you.]

[ooc: I will leave what actually happens up to you.]

OOOC: Okay, but you asked for it.

IC: Loki succeeded in shooting wilhelm in the arse.

"HEY! The Wall, not me!" Wilhelm shouted.

Arie healed him, and Wilhelm gave loki a dirty look.

"One more test. Teleport this five foot section of vine anywhere." Druidess said.

OOC: The vine is going to come out of it horribly. Use your imagination.

OOOC: Okay, but you asked for it.

OOC: The vine is going to come out of it horribly. Use your imagination.

Slightly put off by just shooting Wilhelm in the rear instead of the target where he was aiming, Loki was a bit hesitant to teleport the vine. However, he did so anyway... or at least he tried.

On command, the vine disappeared; however, it did not return immediately. It took a few seconds, but eventually the vine showed itself half away across the room. It was decrepit, burnt, there were hideous bugs crawling in and out of its holes, and it had shriveled dry to a size less than two feet.

"That's it, no more magick for you, not until we get you healed." Druidess said. Then she went to searching for something, and pocketed a golden seed.

"Great healers live beneath the lake." Arie said.

"good idea, we need magick water from there anyway." Druidess said. She bent over, and turned into a black and red dragon. She picked them up, shouldered her way through the walls and ceiling, and out into the open air. She flew to the airship, reverted to normal, after setting them all down, and explained the situation to Xos.

"Well, Loki, seems you got sick. Here, wear this ring, it will prevent you from using magick, until you can get better, which, all things considered, may be the most favorable situation." he said, holding out a plain bronze ring to loki.

OOC: Thank you, I try TG's read and responded too. Read them before posting.

OOC: Now, as we discussed over TGs, to start a side-plot that most likely won't affect the main storyline of this RP, Ri-an.

IC: The Infinite Nothing

Behind Kajeenith's physical body, a spinning, blue hypercube appeared, the Route Of Ages had been opened onto the Infinite Nothing. The hypercube, close to Kajeenith, but distant enough not to cause him 'physical' harm, shrunk and vanished almost instantly after a figure emerged from it.

"So," said the figure while remaining in the shadows for the moment, "You must be this Kajeenith I've heard of. Interesting place you've got here."

Kajeenith's Mental Illusion

Emma frowned when she noticed how much the place through the door looked like her home town. She didn't exactly have fond memories of that place. Still, she stepped through with a sigh while keeping her ice katana at the ready. She knew she would have to face her past one of these days, even if it was only in her head, for now.

Kajeenith smiled, without turning.

"Good evening Prince Phobos. Welcome to my Dominion. Allow me to make things, a bit more comfortable for you." Kajeenith said. the nothing flickered, and mirrored The Abyss.

"Surprised? I know many, many things." Kajeenith said.

He turned facing Phobos directly.

"What brings you here? worried about her? don't worry, no one dies in the infinite nothing. Like a video game, they just simply respawn." Kajeenith said.

Meanwhile...

The town went on about its business. It was as if no one had noticed her yet.

OOC: I don't know her past, you have to drive that part of her storyline yourself. She has, oh, lets see, with the arrival of Phobos, a good hour to herself.

"Well, Loki, seems you got sick. Here, wear this ring, it will prevent you from using magick, until you can get better, which, all things considered, may be the most favorable situation." he said, holding out a plain bronze ring to loki.

Loki looked upset, but nonetheless he took the ring and slipped onto his finger; it was just one space away from the ring that protected him... perhaps they were more similar then he realized.

"Alright..." he sighed. "Let's go."

Loki looked upset, but nonetheless he took the ring and slipped onto his finger; it was just one space away from the ring that protected him... perhaps they were more similar then he realized.

"Alright..." he sighed. "Let's go."

The 12 hour flight was unusually peaceful. xos landed the Airship expertly on the shore.

Arie stopped them all at the shore.

"So, come on, one and all, jump in the water." She said. Druidess turned into a shark after diving in.. Wilhelm paused.

"Cousin dear, Neither me, nor Loki can breath underwater, and my sword will rust." Wilhelm said.

Arie thought.

"Leave your sword with Xos, and leave the breathing to me." She said.

Then, she shimmered, and jumped in the lake. When she surfaced, she was in her natural Mermaid form Wilhelm handed his sword to Xos, who in turn handed him a sword made of energy.

"I linked it to your spirit energy, its called a Ghostly Sabre, and it works just like a normal sword, except it can also hit enemies not of the flesh." Xos said.

Wilhelm grinned and dived in the water.

They waited for Loki to jump in.

"But how are you going to breathe for me?" Loki asked, nervous at the proposition of swimming deep under the water's surface. Nor was he the best of swimmers, quite slow in fact, but he could manage so long as they didn't speed ahead of him and lose him in their wake.

"But how are you going to breathe for me?" Loki asked, nervous at the proposition of swimming deep under the water's surface. Nor was he the best of swimmers, quite slow in fact, but he could manage so long as they didn't speed ahead of him and lose him in their wake.

"I can only show you underwater, but what happens is, I'll use my magick to blow fresh air bubbles for you, at least until the outpost, then I'll get them to give me a pair of enchanted breathing masks." Arie said.

"Okay..." Loki said, still slightly nervous. However, he realized he had no choice but to trust her and do as she said... if he wanted to get his magick back that is.

He slowly stepped into the water, gasped a breath, and dove in...

He slowly stepped into the water, gasped a breath, and dove in...

Arie held out her arms, and blew a big bubble of air, and launched it at Wilhelm. He caught it, and refreshed his air supply. She blew another, and launched it at Loki. It would smell like Cinnamon. Then she grabbed Loki, and Wilhelm grabbed Druidess. Arie and Druidess swam fast, it was a wonder Loki's hat wasn't carried away, yet, miraculously, the pressure didn't affect Loki.

"Thanks," Loki managed to mouth without taking in any water. The constant supply of air was refreshing, not to mention appetizing as they swam down...

"Thanks," Loki managed to mouth without taking in any water. The constant supply of air was refreshing, not to mention appetizing as they swam down...

Arie seemed to glimmer as the sank beneath the great ocean lake.

Soon, Loki could see what an underwater Paradise the Lake was.

There was a great Coral Reef ancient and huge.

"That's the Great Dome Reef." Arie said, but her voice sounded like a song.

A clown fish darted past Loki.

The Many forms of Wild life were everywhere, it was impossible to describe, one could only watch.

As the fish darted by, Loki decided he liked that particular one. It was funny looking and endearing.

So serene and beautiful down here, he thought as they descended towards their destination.

Arie stopped at the Reef, and had loki hold on to a rock so he wouldn't float away.

She then walked up to it and tapped a rock in a funny pattern. The face fell inward, to reveal a great city inside the reef.

Arie stepped in, and returned moments later with two masks. One she handed to Loki, the other to Wilhelm. Then, armed Mermen swam out, with a chariot drawn by four impressive War-seahorses Arie grabbed Loki, and buckled him in so he wouldn't float away, Druidess became an Octopus and wrapped her arms around Wilhelm and the seat he was in. Ari just sat, while a Merman took the reins, and drove them to the underwater city of Tritoch.

There were Merpeople everywhere. plants grew to great heights, and the great Dome Reef actually bore houses for the Merpeople. Buildings of Coral rose out of the cround, but most impressive, was the castle. It was made of Gold, and Pearls, and rare gems that could easily buy three or four kingdoms back in Loki's Reality. Holding it all together, was the Great Coral, and the palace glowed with much light.

The Merman spoke to the guards at the Pearl Gates. The chariot drove on in to the palace, and stopped at the gates.

"You may walk here, as you would on the ground above, surface mage, and Cousin Elf." The Merguard said. his voice, though rough, also sounded musical. Arie swam into the entrance.

Merguards encircled Loki, wilhelm, and Druidess, to escort them with honor to the king.

Kajeenith smiled, without turning.

"Good evening Prince Phobos. Welcome to my Dominion. Allow me to make things, a bit more comfortable for you." Kajeenith said. the nothing flickered, and mirrored The Abyss.

"Surprised? I know many, many things." Kajeenith said.

He turned facing Phobos directly.

"What brings you here? worried about her? don't worry, no one dies in the infinite nothing. Like a video game, they just simply respawn." Kajeenith said.

Meanwhile...

The town went on about its business. It was as if no one had noticed her yet.

OOC: I don't know her past, you have to drive that part of her storyline yourself. She has, oh, lets see, with the arrival of Phobos, a good hour to herself.
OOC: In regards to Emma's past, TBH, I just came up with an semi-idea at the moment that I'm still working on. IMHO, it'll help to flesh her out more as a person and not just some character. Lets just say, currently, its revolves around something no young girl should have to go through with her father (there is a reason its illegal in the US (TG me if you want it more specific)).
Oh, and 'mirrored the Abyss', what does that mean?

IC: Phobos

"Kajeenith," replied Phobos moving so that light slipped across his face now and again, "you are certainly one hard being to find. I had to search several realities to find you.

"As for why I'm here, while I care for her as is appropriate seeing how all my subjects are my children in a sense, I came here more looking for you. You aren't exactly subtle in your methods. The destruction of an entire reality and the reforming of it with slight alterations to suit your own dark purposes, whatever they may be, does create ripples that can be sensed by certain people. Some of which you don't want to attract the attention of, two that I know of in particular."

As Phobos moved, the darkness seemed to swirl about him as a cloak, it seemed to move as he moved, it seemed to become so thick that it was almost physically solid. It was also apparent that his paternal and parental feelings for Emma were more than he let on (OOC: Part of both of their backstories. TG me if you want specifics on this as well).

"Now, I don't care why you did what you did. Nor do I care why you do what you are currently occupied with. What I care about is keeping ripples like the ones you created from creating too big of a disturbance. I have no desire nor intent, for now, to interfere in whatever you are doing. However, now here and now, that I will be watching you. You may the God Of Nothing, but there is always balance. Nothing can't exist without Everything. Its a basic facet of Ying-and-Yang."

The darkness around Kajeenith pulsed once and Phobos had switched the view to one that Kajeenith should find interesting. While not as good as Kajeenith could have done himself, the mere fact that Phobos was able to alter their physical environment should be a huge hint to Kajeenith. If Phobos was this powerful and didn't show fear concerning Kajeenith, then Kajeenith would only be able to wonder who these two entities in particular that Phobos didn't think Kajeenith should attract the attention of. Entities that apparently Phobos may not fear, but he certainly respected them, their power, and their abilities.

Emma

Emma strolled the streets, which were almost identical to the way they were when she lived here as a child. She returned her ice katana to its seath as she walked with her head held high. She no longer resembled the meek little girl she was all those years ago, so she doubted anyone would recognize her as that little mouse she once was.

OOC: Its 5am right now, so that's the best I can do right now.

"Oh... wow..." Loki was astonished by this underwater city he had just been led to. It was incredible; beyond words.

Apart from its location and design (both of which were quite amazing), Loki noticed that much of it was created from precious metals and jewels... tons of it.

~snip~

"Ahh, but my dear Phobos, I cannot be blamed. I am following the natural path of nothing. Is a Wolf to be blamed for killing a rabbit to quell its hunger? Am I to be blamed for keeping the balance between that which does exist, and that which does not exist? I am helping them, helping you. You see, that Reality would have continued to grow, unabated, and grown until it impeded upon the proper function of several other realities, including the one you were born in. It would have started off simple, basic, no one would have known, but you, and all the other entities of darkness and Chaos, would have begun more and more to feel peace and brotherhood. First to each other, which would have made for some very intresting battles indeed, but beyond that, it would have ended in absolute neverending peace. Your Reality was founded upon conflict, which is why it depends on the six forces of Chaos, Law, Good, Evil, Life, and Death. See, Phobos, I fear no entity, because no one has the right to punish me for following through with my neverending task. My actions might seem evil, but that's because those who would lack the understanding and evolved synapases to realise that I am saving their lives." Kajeenith said. He was resolute in his position.

OOC: Mirror the Abyss means it looks like the abyss in every way shape and form, feels like the abyss sounds like the abyss, smells like the abyss, heck, it even tastes like the abyss, all without it actually being the abyss.

"Oh... wow..." Loki was astonished by this underwater city he had just been led to. It was incredible; beyond words.

They went through the halls. The peasant Mer people were all pretty enough, but the nobles, they were breath taking, wearing living Coral, and one had a jacket made from a Great white Shark. Ther har, it was so, vivid, and they seemed, so strong.

There was even a wee little merbaby just learning to swim. Then, they were lead befor The king himself. His throne room was dazzling, it seemed as if the floor was light, but it was actually, a very big mirror. The Walls, oh the walls! they were made of Gold, Absolute Gold! and inscribed upon them in silver was the entire history of the Merkingdom. Then there was the King himself. The Noble Merpeople were breathtaking, but the King was Awe inspiring. He had a great beard, and a crown made of Coral, but it was Coral that had grown among Gold and Silver, and thus was colored such, it was the only Coral Like it in all reality, and several others, and thus was worth far more than his entire palace. His scales, his scales were silver, and his tail was gold. He carried a great Trident that carried within it great power. Then there was The Princess, which was, Arie! Arie had fixed herself up and now wore an exoctic Elven top, and wore a basic silver circlet on top of her now purple and pink hair.

"Loki, Mage From another World. Wilhelm, Guardian of the Elves of the great east secter, Druidess, Disciple of Gaia, I bid thee welcome to my Kingdom." The King said. He had a powerful voice that was not at all musical, but more like a thunderclap.

Druidess, who was an Octopus still, turned into a Merperson.

"Thank you, King Trito." She said. Bowing. Wilhelm simply bowed, and hopede Loki did the same.

"So then, my Daughter brings me grave news of the surface world. Such troubles will never give us pause down here." King Trito said.

"My lord, the Seasons are a part of Gaia herself." Wilhelm said.

"Indeed, but then my Trident was given to me by the same. They will not fight me." King Trito said.

Then he turned to Loki.

"Young mage come here." he said.

The young mage marveled at the room and all the people - something he had never seen before even in the high courts of his homelands.

The king of the merpeople began speaking and at one point Wilhelm bowed, so Loki followed suit, though it was harder to tell as he didn't bend much... the flopping of his hat was what gave it away at all.

"Young mage come here."

Loki looked left and right for a second before realizing it was him the king was speaking about. Without a word he walked forward and stood before the king.

"So, I understand your, Sick. Dearest Child, Arie overestimated our Healers. They cannot heal diseases of the magickal kind." Trito said gently.

He waited a moment, then pointed his trident straight at Loki.

"THEREFORE BY THE POWER OF THE SEVEN REGIONS OF THE GREAT OCEAN LAKE, I KING TRITO COMMAND THEE TO BE HEALED." King Trito thundered, and the words rolled around the room exactly seven times, and reverbrated into the tip of the Trident wich vibrated and shot great light at loki, it lifted him up, coursed through him, and set back down, better, stronger than before. The Antimagick ring crumbled.

"Now, tell me why you are here." King Trito

"We come for the water of lifes blessing, to pour upon the seed of lifes beginning, after we have planted it in the Sacred Soil." Druidess said.

Although she spoke gently, King Trito looked afraid to say no.

"You mean, the great awakening is upon us?" King Trito said.

"Yes, the time for Mother Gaia to reawaken is here. Only the traitous seasons stand in our way, and three of them have been killed." Druidess said.

King Trito wrestled with something deep in himself.

"Guards, arrest them, for treason against the seasons." He said. He held his staff ready to kill them if they tried to escape.

The Mer guards came over to arrest everybody.

"But Why?" Druidess cried.

"Because Lady Winter commanded us so the minute you slayed lady Autumn." Said a General.

"Lady Druidess, understand. If I do not kill you and your friends, then General Gran here will kill Arie. I love my daughter more than anything, so you loose." King Trito said.

"yes, so kill them all." General Gran said.

A guard went to kill loki with a dagger to the chest.

Another tried the same on Wilhelm, but he whipped out his Ghostly Sabre, and blocked the attack, while Druidess turned into a Giant Octopus and armwrestled with 8 Guards.

After the healing, Loki felt reborn; refreshed and stronger than ever. But that lasted only a moment before he heard the fateful words "Kill them all."

Something snapped. After all he and his friends had done, they were going to be tossed aside and killed.

"No, no, no..." Loki said as he slightly lowered his head and shook it side to side, oversized, pointy hat flapping with it.

A guard came at the young mage with a dagger - Loki screamed "NOOO!!!!"

All of the lights in the room flashed several times and then dimmed as a blue ray of energy, charged with electricity shot out at the incoming guard. Then came destruction on all levels: balls of fiery energy shot out in every direction, one after another, crashing into different objects and people.

King Trito blocked with his Trident, but something wonderful happened in the process, General Chan died.

Arie grabbed up Loki.

"Oh Thank you thank you, thank you! You saved the undersea kingdom. General Chan was going to murder all the Mer people, and the lake was to be frozen over completly." Arie said.

"Yes, well done Loki, you have saved my kingdom and all its treasures. druidess, I would be happy to give you the water, Wilhelm, Loki, allow me to gift you as well for your efforts." King Trito said enthusiasticly.

"Guards. Go through the castle and round up all of Chan's men, and execute them for treason." Trito said.

Then he went to the stairs, and and pointed the Trident at them. They disappeared, revealing marvelous wonders. Trito went to a pillar, and got a special glass sphere, containing the purest water ever concieved of. He also picked up a staff and a sheild.

Trito went to Wilhelm.

"This Sheild will always give you a weapon appropriate to your surroundings." He said. Wilhelm bowed and accepted the sheild.

"Druidess, the sacred water." Trito said.

"And young Loki. Though I fear I do not know its powers exactly, or its uses, the greatest magi from many diffrent Realities have used this Staff. Pray, keep it safe, for it does not deserve to rot away in my treasury. It has been said, that Xos the Great would know more of it. If you can find him, perhaps he will aid you." Trito said.

"Thank you very much for the gift!" Loki responded excitedly, his outburst of rage just moments earlier all but forgotten.

"I will go ask him right away...!" Though he did not know whether he was going to use the new staff or the one he had been given before leaving on his first adventure years ago, Loki figured he might as well find out the secret about it and see how useful it would be.

"Thank you very much for the gift!" Loki responded excitedly, his outburst of rage just moments earlier all but forgotten.

King Trito had then driven back to the airship, and after much begging and pleading, agreed to let Arie finish the journey, if only to get her to be quiet.

Xos looked at the staff.

"Loki, long has it been since I could call another my Equal, but i am afraid, that will not last forever. This staff is different things to different people. Long ago, i desired it greatly, because to me, I thought it would let me rise above all others, and be without equal, but it is a sad lonely position, and now i long to be just an ordinary mage. Great power I have, but cannot use it at will, for that was the price I paid to learn it. To others, they see it as an object of fear, the means of their destruction. And King Trito spoke truly, Great Mages have welded this staff, along with many who were not so great, but for all, their knowledge and wisdom rests forever in the staff. hold it Loki, Feel it. Can you not feel it running through you, granting you knowledge you did not have before, giving you knew heights of wisdom you never thought possible? There is a reason you hold that staff. When the time comes, you will know what to do. Until then, put it away."" Xos said.

"Xos, is the airship up for a challenge?" Druidess asked.

"What? What, you think some two bit know nothing built this? I'll have you know this ship can handle ANYTHING you throw at it." Xos said.

"Good, then take us the The Flying Supercontinent above the great forest, where the Kingdom of the Birdpeople hold Sway, and we can find The sacred Soil." Druidess said.

"well, uhh, I'll try, but, uhh, you and Loki have to help fight off attackers. I imagine Winter has it heavily Guarded, and it'll take a few minutes for the heaters warm up, to brevent Engine or Blade freeze." Xos said.

15 hours later.

"There it is Loki, in that great Cloudbank, The Flying Supercontinent." Druidess said.

"Get Ready, Here comes the Birds." Xos called.

Loki was awestruck by the description of the gift King Trito had given to him. Never had he imagined that one artifact could hold so much knowledge and power. Now that he let down his guard and allowed the powers of the staff to flow freely, he could indeed feel what Master Xos was talking about. It was a scary and powerful feeling...

However, for now he would put it away as Xos asked him to. He slipped it into a bag of holding and thanked the venerable master for his guidance.

Time passed as the young mage sat on the deck of the ship preparing for whatever the future held. And then came the birds...

More birds...? Ugh... why so many flying targets today? Loki thought as he stood up and moved to the bow of the ship. "Alright..." he said as he propped up his hat so that he could see. "Hold her steady." And with that he began unloosing magickal barbed arrows that flew with great precision at the flying birds...

OOC: Heh, they hadn't even attacked. but good guess, there are however, friendly bird people, keep that in mind.

IC:

The first wave was caught by surprise.

The Supercontinent drifted closer, but was still an hour away. Meanwhile, the skies began to turn dark.

Meanwhile, Bird People took flight.

"Your in for a challenge now Loki!" Xos yelled back.

"Can you change your form?" Druidess asked.

OOC: Heh, they hadn't even attacked. but good guess, there are however, friendly bird people, keep that in mind.

[ooc: Oops?]

IC:

"Can you change your form?"

"Change form? No..." Loki replied as he wondered why she was asking.

[ooc: Oops?]

IC:

"Can you change your form?"

"Change form? No..." Loki replied as he wondered why she was asking.

"Aerial Combat as a creature with great skills in such an area would help best." Druidess said.

She outlined how it was done, the magick involved, then turned into a Black and Red Dragon, and took flight alongside the ship.

Meanwhile, Thunder Cracked.

The BirdPeople armed their arrows, and started firing at the ship.

Druidess summoned a breeze and blew them away. The Bird people tried compensating their aim, but failed. Wilhelm warmed up the cannons and started firing.

The Great Druidess may have outlined how to transform oneself into whatever it was that you wished, but it was not as simple to learn it. It would take a bit of time coupled with practice and the lack of fear that Loki had currently in attempting something so new and dangerous.

No, he decided to stay on the ship and defend it from where he was. He began casting his next spell as the Druidess dealt with the incoming arrows. The sparse molecules of water in the air clung together and froze, becoming sharp and lethal looking icicles. As Loki waved his hand, the ice spikes shot out at the birds, destined to pierce their hides and cause immense pain and difficulty.

Druidess dove behind the Icicles, and fire Burning Acid at the Birds.

OOC: For the sake of simplicity, and to prevent Boring repetitivness Let us Fast forward.

IC: After 15 minuets, the waves of Bird People suddenly topped, but the storm grew steaddily worse. Lightning crashed all around the ship.

Druidess had long since lost control of the wind, and now it blew the Airship in every direction. Xos strained at the controls to keep the ship on course.
Then the Blizzards blew in. Despite Xos's Heaters on the ship to keep it from freezing over, it still began to do just that. A great Thunderbolt headed for Loki. Druidess averted it (Barely) back into the sky.

But she missed the one coming for her.

Thankful that he had been saved from a thunderbolt, Loki turned just in time to see Druidess be struck and fall from grace. The young mage screamed in defiance and reached out to her by reaction, but it was no use... she was beyond his help.

Just then, the ship shook violently, almost unloosing Loki from its main deck, and so the light being swiftly made for the inside so as to not be blown away.

"The heaters!"

Loki dashed to the heaters below and quickly began attempting to aid them with heat of his own.

"The heaters!"

Loki dashed to the heaters below and quickly began attempting to aid them with heat of his own.

thankfully, she was not killed. She limped inside and laydown, needing to recover her strength.

"So, you defeated Spring, Summer, and Fall. Congratulations. I'm sure it wasn't easy for you, but Winter has always been viewed as the toughest and harshest of all seasons, for it is in my Chilly Gaze, that Life dies, unable to sustain itself without heat. Plants die, and people go hungry, they huddle together, but soon turn upon one another, for food, for heat, mistrust, even hate. Thunderbird, Terror of the Tribes of North America, Arise once more and destroy those that would destroy order." Winters voice could be heard in the blizzard.

The Blizzard suddenly abated.

But the last line of defense, The Thunderbird, descended upon the Airship.

Its every Wingbeat caused great Thunder, and pulled in clouds towards it.

Xos put the ship on Autopilot.

"NOBODY THREATENS MY SHIP! LOKI, DRUIDESS, GET OUT HERE, WE'RE GOING TO DESTROY THE LEGENDARY THUNDERBIRD!" Xos shouted over the wind.

The Thunderbird screamed and lightning crashed.

It Dove for the ship, determined to tear it in half.

OOC: There is no one story on The Thunderbird, but many north American Indian Tribes Believed it was Real, So I have my own NS version.

ooc: But of course.

IC:

Get out of here? Where does he expect us to go? Loki thought as he and Druidess dashed out of the bridge area.

"What should we do?" he asked, turning to the Druidess for advice.

OOC: I'm afraid you misread what Xos said. He did not say get out of here, he said get out here, as in help him defeat the thing.

IC: "Well, how do you suggest we defeat a giant creature older than everyone on this ship put together?" She asked.

Meanwhile, Xos teleported the bird away from the ship. It flapped back up, and shot a mammoth Thunderbolt at Xos, who absorbed it like a sponge abosrbing water.

"Hehe, that tickles." He said. Then he launched a Molton rock at the Bird.
Thunderbird swerved and Dodged.

OOC: Thunderbird and Xos are deadlocked. All Damage is going to have to come from you and druidess, but she's going to follow your lead.

OOC: Oops, my bad.

IC:

Loki began summoning large boulders of thick and heavy rock, which he then threw at the flying bird that was locked in a heated battle with Xos.

It was so large that the young mage did not know what would do it harm... certainly no small spells.

Druidess altered the inside of Loki's Boulders to be Lava, and coated the outside with thick slimy acid.

They hit, and certainly the bird was missing a few feathers, but Thunder Rippled accross its body and it was back to fighting. It Gathered up much rainwater, and sent it at Loki. Xos froze it and sent it back. Thunderbird headbutted it and it shattered.

OOC: Thunderbird will not show any signs of damage or injury until its defeated.

"How about some sticky acid..." Loki commented as he raised his hand and a massive amount of green liquid appeared. It then flew at the bird and coated it from wing to wing in a burning, corrosive, and sticking acid.

Thunderbird screamed. Great amounts of Lightning rippled accross it and burst into Flame, great intense heat could be felt, burning away the acid.

With a quick flap of its wings, the fire was out.

Druidess looked ahead.

"We're over the Continent! Xos, help us finish this." Druidess cried.

Xos sighed.

"I can't, I cannot use my greater powers at will, only when neccessary." he said.

Druidess turned to Loki.

"Alright, make this next one a big one. I'll lend you all my strength." She said.

She shape shifted into one of the smallest creatures known, she became Bacteria, and entered Loki. Only instead of weakening him, she was actually helpful. Loki's powers boosted over 300%. She wondered if it would have a visual effect on him.

"Alright Loki, think of the most powerful most Destructive spell you know of, and cast it." Xos said, ready to sheild everyone from Loki's spell.

OOC: Powerboost is temporary. Depending on what it is, it may actually destroy Thunderbird.

"Right," Loki confirmed as he began quickly searching his mind for a powerful spell. One entered his mind and soon he was acting upon it.

This one was so intense that it required oration, action, and thought. He mumbled a series of ancient words that were not part of any spoken dialect any longer and used his staff to summon the powers that be to his aid.

Past the clouds and skies, his spell was taking affect. A star, directly above the great thunderbird, appeared to supernova releasing its energy into the vast backdrop of space. And then all of that energy was directed by some unseen force into a concentrated beam of light that pierced the atmosphere and consumed the bird in its power. The incredible power of the star flare was brought to bear on the legendary beast of thunder.

The Thunderbird, Died, incinerated by the power of a star.

But that meant nothing because again the ship was buffeted by great wind and perilous thunder. Great Blizzards blew accross the ship.

The Spirit of the Thunderbird rose from its body and flew before the ship.

It concentrated all the blizzards all the storms all the wind into its spiritual Body, and rose high in the sky. A thunderbolt five times the size of the ship crashed down at the ship and Thunderbird departed for its home plane.

Xos barely managed to sheild everyone, but the ship was lost. It was headed for a crash landing.

Druidess left Loki, and begame a White dragon. She grabbed everyone, and barely landed on the continent before collapsing. It was bound in everlasting winter. Xos and Druidess were spent. Wilhelm and Arie had no magick to help, and therefore could do nothing for heat. no one expected anything from loki. Certainly after such a spell, he too would be spent.
But, none of that mattered.

"Well met, LandWalkers. We thought no one would be able to defeat the Demon Thundergod. We owe you much for saving our village. Let us give you shelter from the storm. We have been bearing the brunt of Lady Winter's powers and attacks here." Said a squawky voice.

As it turned out, it was one of The friendly Bird People.

This one resembled a Parrot. But he was wearing sheepskin.

he let out a series of Squawks. a bird boy and a bird girl came over, the boy to Loki, and picked him up and carried him to the village, the girl to druidess, and carried her to the village. The birdman's wife came out and carried Arie, and Bird man helped both Wilhelm and Xos, boith of whom could walk, but barely.

The Village was a collection of huts and houses, but hallways connected them all, making it one big building, made of several smaller. It was blanketed in snow, but a Bonfire roared Defiantly in the center.

All kinds of Bird people stood on the walls keeping watch. The parrot bird man appeared to be some kind of leader. Everyone was carried to a medical hut.

Druidess looked over at Loki.

"Heh, sorry about making you sick. It was the only way I could think of. You should be back to normal power now, but you'll still have me in your system for three days. Expect random power surges. Then she went to sleep. Flying through a blizzard and carrying people was difficult, even if one was an Ice Dragon.

Xos sighed.

"I lost her. I lost the airship."

"Don't feel bad, Xos. At least we made it to the Continent." Wilhelm said.

Arie meanwhile aided in healing.

The Birdpeople looked at loki strangly, which was understandible, they had never seen anyone like him before.

"Rest today friends. At least allow us to extend that courtesy. Wander the village if you like, but for today, rest.

The young mage was incredibly thankful when the Bird People found them and helped them all back to their village.

After Druidess explained what happened and what could happen, Loki felt he could deal with it. Random surges in power? Not so bad...

"Rest today friends. At least allow us to extend that courtesy. Wander the village if you like, but for today, rest.

Loki needed no further encouragement. He put his head down and quickly fell into deep slumber.

OOC: 90% of this post is a Dream forced upon Loki, keep that in mind.
And loki was allowed to rest, though maybe not peacefully.

Kajeenith invaded his Slumber.

in the middle of Loki's current Dream...

A bright flash occured.

Loki was standing. unbound, yet he couldn't move. He couldn't talk, couldn't even so much as spit. All he could do, was stand, and listen. He felt the powerful will of Kajeenith binding him in place.

"So, Loki. do you presume to take that which is not yours? To Destroy that, which affects you only because your near it?" Kajeenith asked. He sat on a throne constructed entirely from bones and skulls. If loki looked closer, he would realse they were the bones and skulls of him and the others.

Another Flash.

The Four seasons were kneeling before Kajeeniths throne.

"Great and Holy Father, Give us that which we do not have. Complete us, make us whole. Gaia's Time of Rule was a Golden one, a Gentle one, but her time of Rule is at an end. She has been gone now, for some 500 years, when she only sleeps 100 away. Obviously, she has died. We feel her presence gone from our world. Our primary concern is for the citizens. Please Father Kajeenith, allow us to better serve those who now worship at our feet." The Four seasons prayed in unison at the throne of Kajeenith. Obviously, this was an image of an event that had already transpired.

Another Flash. The seasons were gone.

"So. Loki. You would take the peace they wanted to bring? Ask Druidess. Ask her, ask her when the last time she felt Gaia's presence in her world Ask her why she's been so bent on collecting the three items of awakening. Yes, there is violence, yes there is suffering, but such is the way of change." Kajeenith said.

Flash, back to the seasons.

"I will grant your prayers. I am the Divine Holy Father of All things, For All things came from nothing, and it is to nothing, All things shall return." Kajeenith said.

Flash. The Seasons were gone.

"Your so misguided Loki. Now Wake up. I have come to destroy you." Kajeenith said.

Another Flash.

Loki found himself in the Village Square. The Bird People lay everywhere. Wilhelm was dead, his head sat on a Pike. His eyes looking at Loki. Same with Arei, and Druidess. All looking at Loki like he was resonsible for their Deaths.

Then Kajeenith appeared. And still Loki could not move.

"hahaha. Struggle all you want. You cannot move." Kajeenith said.

His sword came down on Loki, and straight through.

As his body toppled backwards, he noticed Xos's head on a pike.

"This is all just a dream you know. In fact, you should probably, Wake up." Xos's head said.

"Wake Up!"

Everything went white. some one was trying to wake Loki up.

Loki would feel fully refreshed, even though he did have that disturbing dream.

Still, The heavy scent of Death hung in the air.

"Ahh, but my dear Phobos, I cannot be blamed. I am following the natural path of nothing. Is a Wolf to be blamed for killing a rabbit to quell its hunger? Am I to be blamed for keeping the balance between that which does exist, and that which does not exist? I am helping them, helping you. You see, that Reality would have continued to grow, unabated, and grown until it impeded upon the proper function of several other realities, including the one you were born in. It would have started off simple, basic, no one would have known, but you, and all the other entities of darkness and Chaos, would have begun more and more to feel peace and brotherhood. First to each other, which would have made for some very intresting battles indeed, but beyond that, it would have ended in absolute neverending peace. Your Reality was founded upon conflict, which is why it depends on the six forces of Chaos, Law, Good, Evil, Life, and Death. See, Phobos, I fear no entity, because no one has the right to punish me for following through with my neverending task. My actions might seem evil, but that's because those who would lack the understanding and evolved synapases to realise that I am saving their lives." Kajeenith said. He was resolute in his position.

OOC: Mirror the Abyss means it looks like the abyss in every way shape and form, feels like the abyss sounds like the abyss, smells like the abyss, heck, it even tastes like the abyss, all without it actually being the abyss.

OOC: Uh, the Abyss is Phobos, an alternate side to the character, not a place. Just wanted to make sure you knew that as it sounds like 'Mirror the Abyss' is in reference to a place. If it was a reference to the reality that the Abyss calls home, like Kajeenith calls the Infinite Nothing home, well, just so you know, its form is fluid and is rarely constant when the Abyss/Phobos isn't alone.

IC: "I've been around, Kajeenith," replied Phobos as he slowly circled around the deity, "In one form or another, since the very beginning.

"As for your question, a wolf can show restraint. A wolf is able to know that where their is one rabbit, their is usually more and thus can follow the rabbit until it leads the wolf to the others.

"Now, I don't care who you think has the right to punish you or not. That still doesn't counter the fact that several powerful entities exist out there. Amoung which one I'm sure you know quite well. The one who goes by the name of Warhaven.

"You are lucky that it was I and not, say, the Divine, the Lambient Kiith Nebula, or even Warhaven that was attracted by the ripples you've created. Plucking beings from their home realities like that sent out the first wave of ripples. Minor ones, true, but even minor ones can be noticed given enough time and repetition. Personally, I could have cared less what you were doing, then you opened the portal to here for one of those who look to me for protection.

"Trust me, Kajeenith. We would fair far better if we agreed to leave each other and each other's people and property alone, if not allies, than we would if we were to become rivals or enemies. Believe me, you have yet to see a fraction of what I can do.

"As for good and evil, only words on a page assigned to events long after they are over by lesser beings who don't understand what those words truely mean.

"Now, I'm not abdicating you stop what you are doing, only that you show restraint and self-control. Destroying and re-creating realities willy-nilly, abducting people from various places, times, and realities left and right, those create ripples that can attract the others before everything is ready. That could not only ruin your plans, but my own as well.

"Do you understand what I am saying, Kajeenith?"

snip

Loki shot straight up in bed. He felt good, but at the same time he felt dirty. The dream that he had just experienced seemed so real... so cruel. Now, the rush of realization came over him, It was just a dream. But somehow it still felt wrong.

That could not only ruin your plans, but my own as well.

"Do you understand what I am saying, Kajeenith?"
"You seem to be under the impression I pulled people from other Realities. You also seem to feel that Warana is a threat to me. You also seem to think I have people.

There are people here, yes. People who have called to me, to help them. People who broke my rules concerning what I gave them, people that must be puinixhed. Those that wander the other realities now, I did not pull them. You should know as well as I do that occasionally Realms align and people fall through. Look at Amelia Airheart and her 'disappearence' into the realm of Light. synchronised Doorway. Those that are away from their home realities now. I have been trying, oh so carefully to avoid disruption of The Key Realities that define all others, to get them out. You can't interfere. Your too bent towards Evil, which could disrupt the Key Realities entirely, and then nt only wood the entire side of Light and goodness be after you, but all the neutrals as well. As for Warfare and Arianna, 'Warana', they call themselves now, and their horde of brats. We've made peace. And anyone else, let them all come. All anyone remembers, are my old powers, my old ways. my old tricks. Hell, I'll even lead them here and sharpen their weapons for them. Don't want them screwing up my slaughter the first time. Don't you see Phobos, I don't fear anyone. Let them come, let them try to kill me. I hope they succeed. It'll be better than the fate handed to me anyways." Kajeenith said.

Loki shot straight up in bed. He felt good, but at the same time he felt dirty. The dream that he had just experienced seemed so real... so cruel. Now, the rush of realization came over him, It was just a dream. But somehow it still felt wrong.

"Where were you guys?" Xos asked worriedly, blocking sight to the outdoors.

"I had this weird dream I was stuck on a pole watching Loki die." Druidess said.

The others nodded their general agreement.

"Guys,you've been gone all night. You all went to bed at rougly the same time. I went outside to enjoy the crisp winter air, and when I had returned not five minutes later each and every one of you were gone." Xos said.

Wilhelm and the others were white with fright.

"It was just a Dream, right?" Druidess said.

"Loki, you are feeling okay, right?" Arie asked.

"I guess..." Loki said as he swung his short legs over the side of the bed and felt the weightlessness in his feet. It was his usual answer even if he did feel that something was out of whack.

Something definitely felt strange... different... wrong.

OOC: stupid forums messing me up.

IC:

"I'm glad your all okay. When I couldn't find you here, I left the village, trying to find you. When I got back, this is what I saw." xos said. He stepped away from the doorway, revealing slaughter. The brutal horrible slaughter of the entire village of Bird People.

"how horrible" Druidess cried.

"Who would do such a thing?" Arie cried.

"In all my years. never have I heard of such an act like this." Wilhelm said.

All the bodies were arranged into odd horrible postions, as though they were offering prayer and supplication to Evil. Some were on Crucifixes, that hung unpside down. Others, well, it was just too horrible, too unsettling. Yet all of them, each and everyone of them were headless. Yet one didn't have to look far for the heads. In the village Square, the same one from Loki's dream, all the heads were arranged on pikes, facing the hut they slept in.

"Our very lives are in danger here. Kajeenith visited this village last night while we were gone. This is what he left. Let us gather supplies and leave." Xos said.

The others nodded and went to gether supplies, quietly.

With no supplies to gather and fear in his blood, Loki crept slowly to the door and waited for Xos and the others for them to move out... wherever they were going... "The Soil" he guessed.

OOC: I'll assume you come when everyone does to speed things along.

IC:

Soon, supplies were gathered.

They all headed out.

They had gotten maybe a mile away, when the entire air buzzed like static on a TV, and everything faded into snow, like a channel with now reception. To Loki, everything would seem to be struggling to exist.

Then Loki's vision cleared, as did everyone's though they wished it hadn't.

Kajeenith stood before them, sword still dripping with blood.

"Your turn." he said.

The great never ending Blizzard of winter blew around them in a fury. Kajeenith rose off the continent, and spread his arms wide. Then, everything partially faded away, like a teleportation spell that got stuck mid-cast.

Kajeenith rushed for Loki, sword poised to cleave him into two.

OOC: No problem. Whenever you like you can do that.

IC:

As the horrible being known as Kajeenth appeared and charged at Loki with sword in hand, the young mage was frightened, but he managed to erect a thick wall of ice in-between himself and the reaper.

"What do we do!?"

OOC: No problem. Whenever you like you can do that.

IC:

As the horrible being known as Kajeenth appeared and charged at Loki with sword in hand, the young mage was frightened, but he managed to erect a thick wall of ice in-between himself and the reaper.

"What do we do!?"

"Kill him." Wilhelm said with grim determination. He pulled out his sheild. There was a picture of a weapon on it. he reached into the sheild, and pulled out a Flame Sabre, and the flames were as blue as Loki's robes they burned that hot. The snow melted around him, but he himself was unaffected by the heat.

Arie pulled a mini trdent out of her hair. It appeared to be just a hair accessory, but then it grew. It became a full sized trident, and it too, burst into flames, regular flames.

Druidess warped and changed into an Ice Dragon.

Xos stood off to the side, ready for anything.

Kajeenith meanwhile, melted the Ice wall. He drifted back a few feet, the Blizzards swirled around him, and out of the blizzard came charging an army of Ice Elementals. Wilhelm leaped infront of Loki, and Druidess walked up on the otherside.

Arie joined Loki.

The First Wave hit Wilhelm, and bravely he fought. some melted before they even reached him. The second waqve hit Druidess, and with her powerful claws destroied them all.

Arie gasped.

"Lady Winter!" she said pointing at an ugly old Crone next to Kajeenith.

Kajeenith dislodged an asteroid from its orbit, and hurled it at Loki.

Meanwhile, another wave of Ice elementals charged out of the blizzard.

Fighting off the pull of gravity, Loki slowed the incoming asteroid until it came to a stop only fifty or so feet above their head. Then seeing the army of ice elementals marching forward, he dropped the blazing rock right on top of them... melting many with its extreme heat.

Kajeenith smiled. Ice spikes began shooting out of the blizzard.

And the Ice elementals upgraded to Elder Ice elementals.

Kajeenith disappeared, and reappeared next to Loki.

"Boo!" he said before disappearing again, and reappearing next to arie.

His sword cut cleanly. Arie life slowly faded.

"Loki." A strong new voice said in Loki's head.

"Loki, pull out the staff Trito gave you. It is time. The Phoenix, It ressurects itself from its own ashes every 500 years. Call upon its power, and with it, Defeat Kajeenith and Ressurect she who has died before her time." The voice said.

The wonderful powers of the Phoenix! Loki gasped in awe. Long had he heard of such legendary powers, but never had he actually seen any proof of them. The Phoenix was extremely powerful, but also gave the gift of life to those recently fallen in battle.

Without delay Loki removed the staff from his bag of holding and began calling on its great power to come to his aid...

Kajeenith looked at the staff.

"No." was all he was able to say.

The staff burst into fire and crawled over Loki.

everyone, Kajeenith, Wilhelm, Winter, Xos, Druidess, even the fallen spirit of Arie and all the Bird peoples looked at Loki in awe. But why?

Then Loki himself began to change. In order for the phoenix to come one must leave. As the summoner, Loki had to be the one. But the phoenix couldn't completly come.

"hehehe" Kajeenith laughed. He was blocking the Phoenix, but was quickly disapointed when Loki returned, as The Phoenix.

Loki heard a great birds voice.

"So you have called me, so I have come. Use my powers with care, or suffer Eternal Damnation." The Phoenix spirit said. Loki was ablaze with Fire. Winter fled in fear, leaving a horrendously powerful Blizzard.

"I fear no bird." Kajeenith said.

Wilhelm and the others gaped in awe.

Kajeenith smiled. He spun in place. Then he lost all form, and adopted his spirit form, a cloud of Nothing. Little clouds came out, and attacked the others.

Horribly, a great section of Kajeenith lanced out at Phoenix Loki, straight at the heart.

What the others saw...

Loki used the staff to summon the Phoenix. The staff burst into fire, and the fire travled up Loki's arm.

Loki partially disappeared, becoming as clear as a stained glass window. but then Kajeenith blocked the phoenix itself from coming over, so the phoenix transfered its powers to Loki. The power Transfer caused Loki to shapeshift and become a Phoenix himself, and phoenixes are big birds, usually about 15 - 20 ft tall, so Loki grew as well. When the transformation was finished, Loki was ablaze with Phoenix Fire, and his plumage was beautiful.

OOC: Loki still has his regular powers.

"You seem to be under the impression I pulled people from other Realities. You also seem to feel that Warana is a threat to me. You also seem to think I have people.

There are people here, yes. People who have called to me, to help them. People who broke my rules concerning what I gave them, people that must be puinixhed. Those that wander the other realities now, I did not pull them. You should know as well as I do that occasionally Realms align and people fall through. Look at Amelia Airheart and her 'disappearence' into the realm of Light. synchronised Doorway. Those that are away from their home realities now. I have been trying, oh so carefully to avoid disruption of The Key Realities that define all others, to get them out. You can't interfere. Your too bent towards Evil, which could disrupt the Key Realities entirely, and then nt only wood the entire side of Light and goodness be after you, but all the neutrals as well. As for Warfare and Arianna, 'Warana', they call themselves now, and their horde of brats. We've made peace. And anyone else, let them all come. All anyone remembers, are my old powers, my old ways. my old tricks. Hell, I'll even lead them here and sharpen their weapons for them. Don't want them screwing up my slaughter the first time. Don't you see Phobos, I don't fear anyone. Let them come, let them try to kill me. I hope they succeed. It'll be better than the fate handed to me anyways." Kajeenith said.

"Its true that the realities sometimes, albiet rarely, align and allow portals between each to open," replied Phobos, "but then you know as well as I do that's not what has happened. You sent your Dark Priestess out to draw them into one of the Loci.

"As for the others, I don't know about Warhaven, but I know the Divine and the Nebula wouldn't try to kill you. In their hands, you would suffer a far worse fate. I'm sure you wouldn't like them revoking your reality passport. If they do that, you'll be trapped here."

IC:"Reality passport? I don't need such things. Trapped, here? obviously you fail to understand This place. Fates worse than Death? Don't make me laugh. I inflict those upon myself daily. The only entity I truely fear acts through other agents. The highest of all powers, the very first thing to exist before all other things existed. The beginning before the beginning. You know of what i speak, The Omnisource, known by more names than even we could possibly think of.

Other than that, what part of I don't fear them can't you understand? Stop me from entering realities at my choosing? they don't have such powers. I DO." Kajeenith said.

Kajeenith looked at the staff.

"No." was all he was able to say.

The staff burst into fire and crawled over Loki.

everyone, Kajeenith, Wilhelm, Winter, Xos, Druidess, even the fallen spirit of Arie and all the Bird peoples looked at Loki in awe. But why?

Horribly, a great section of Kajeenith lanced out at Phoenix Loki, straight at the heart.

OOC: Loki still has his regular powers.

OOC: I am assuming he has his regular powers plus a few granted by Phoenix,

IC:

What an amazing, unexplainable, unbelievable event, Loki thought as he had now been endowed with the powers of Phoenix when he was consumed by the fire and transformed into the might bird of flames.

The words he had heard in his head before fully becoming the Phoenix were quite ominous and frightening - So you have called me, so I have come. Use my powers with care, or suffer Eternal Damnation - but he had no time to consider other options; it was time to fight and Kajeenth certainly wasn't letting up.

As the little clouds came out of the spirit form, Loki flapped his massive wings creating a huge gust of wind in the opposite directions of their movement. Then, with the powers of the great bird he had summoned, Loki created a massive firestorm in place of the blizzard as he dodged Kajeenth's strike.

OOC: Long time no post.

IC: the spirit form fluttered, and became a Black Cloud. Then it disappeared.

"NO! I WILL NOT GIVE INTO MY FATE NOW!" Kajeenith roared.

Then with a scream of anguish and misery, he became the black cloud again.

"I AM THE NAMELESS ONE, FIRST CREATION OF THE OMNISOURCE, LAST ENTITY TO LIVE AT THE END OF ALL THINGS. IT IS MY GOAL TO ACHIEVE MY TRUEST FORM, BUT YOUR EXISTENCE STANDS IN MY WAY. PERISH." The Nameless One said. Its voice was booming, and Wilhelm was fairly certain that everyone in the Reality could hear it.

"This isn't good." Druidess said.

The Nameless One reached out, and began to absorb them all. Life, body, spirit, powers, everything.

Wilhelm's weapon changed.

He recognised it.

"Full power, both of you. This monstyerous non-thing is going to absorb us completly. If you both don't act quickly to drive it away..." Wilhelm said.

Xos stood between Druidess and Loki.

"Go Loki. You go first." Xos said.

ooc: Yeah, a whole two days... ;)

IC:

Loki nearly trembled at the new sight of Kajeenth... or whatever The Nameless One was.

The black mage, though still quite young, could not help but hear the irony as the 'thing' called itself The Nameless One, as after all, what is a name other than what one is called.

However, he didn't have much time to chuckle about the matter as reality stood in the balance... on the edge of a blade.

Through a series of different sources, Loki felt a sudden surge in energy. It was the combined effect of a sudden surge in energy from the bacteria in him (thanks to the Druidess), the power given to him by the Phoenix, and a boost in emotion that aided his energy. He wasn't quite sure what would work against the black cloud of certain doom, but he powered up and unleashed a powerful attack.... Omega - one of the most powerful spells he knew.

A thunderclap rocked the air as a massive explosion overcame the area of the black cloud...

Druidess followed up with the strongest spell she could cast, which wasn't a spell at all. She cast a rare spell known only as Genesis. TNO screamed in pain as the two spells collided.

Wilhelm went in with a weapon that had captured the essence of both spells, and it took the form of a blade.

Tno shrank to the size of a baseball. But then regrew.

"I tried. Let it be known that i had tried to refrain from fighting. But, events have turned otherwise." Xos said.

Xos's eyes began to glow strangely. Loki felt his powers growing. Loki's body and robes vanished. Druidess vanished. Wilhelm vanished, but their spirits remained. Then, Xos was diffrent. He was. That was all that any could describe him as. He was. He was Magick. Magick was his body, and his body had no form, except energy.

Xos glared at TNO, and three spells cast themselves. One banishing the phoenix, one resurecting Arie and the entire Bird Village. And the other, took him and TNO out of Reality. But, the thing was, all anyone remembered, was that Loki cast Omega, and TNO vanished. That is, that was all anyone else remembered. Loki, and loki alone knew the truth. But if he told it, no one would believe him.

Arie embraced Loki.

"Thank you, for giving me life again." She whispered.

"And now Loki, The staff Trito gave you, shall vanish. Perhaps eventually, it will see fit to return to your hands." The same strange voice said.

Then, with or without Loki's consent, the staff vanished.

"All hail Loki, Conquerer of Winter!" The Bird people shouted in unison. And so it had happened, some time over the battle, Winter had died.

Druidess kneeled by her body, and removed a golden bag.

"It is time. Come Bird people, by way of the ancient Laws, I command thee to Fly me and these flightless others to Gaia's resting place." Druidess said. With a strange look in her eyes. The same strange look anyone might get, when they were hours away from meeting their Creator.

Some of the Bird people took flight, and they looked like magnificent Eagles. They gripped Loki and the others, and flew them over hill and under dale. Loki could see, the entire Reality was dying. Without either Gaia or the seasons to guide it, it died, and TNO's presence hadn't helped any.

They flew in through a window Druidess opened. They were at the massive house on the plains.

Inside was as a massive cavern. Druidess knelt before a massive drop off. She scattered the Sacred Soil accross the barren soil. Thenm she planted the Seed of beginning. And watered it with the Sacred Water.

"All the powers of Creation, any Creation, are contained within a single seed, as it is, within each being. Druidess said.

She looked at the spot she had planted the seed.

"No, why isn't it growing. Don't tell me its too late!" She cried.

Then she heard voices behind them. voices breaking into a song, a chant. Words alien to Loki's ears, but the meaning was quite clear. The remaining few who lived, gathered together to call for their mother. Their guide, their friend. They called for Mother Gaia.

Loki could feel power in those words. Power as old as the Reality he was in, possibly even older. It rosounded accross the Dark Cavern, and light sprang from nowhere but the deepest recesses of the pit remained unlit.

Then, a sprout. A stem, a plant. Life, burst from the sacred seed.

It spread rampantly. The Call stopped, as everyone was carried by the burst of Life. Loki lost sight as the Plant Grew.

And it Grew, it filled the entire Cavern, and went down into the deep recess.

Then it stopped growing. Vines popped apart, and Loki found himself on a flower high up. Druidess was at the base of the plant. Wilhelm was stuck head first in the massive plant. And Arie was sitting pretty on a flower.

The Cavern shook, and many people gasped.

BOOM! a gigantic hand larger than the entire bodies of most Giants appeared and slammed down into the ground.

BOOM! another one appeared.

Then a head the size of a meteor appeared.

The people erupted into cheering.

It was Mother Gaia. She had awakened and returned. Loki could feel the life coming from her.

Loki gazed in awe, speechless and unable to move. Everything that had just happened... meeting his new friends fighting the seasons, traveling across hundreds of thousands of miles, encountering Kajeenth and The Nameless One, and finally coming to this place to plant and nurture the seeds.... it was all for this... for Mother Gaia.

There was no denying it now, that was for sure. Loki could feel the warmth of rebirth. The light in darkness. Loki could feel Mother Gaia...

"I live again. Where are the four guardians appointed in my stead?" Gaia asked. Although she only whispered, her voice was still loud. But her breath, it would bring back memories of some of the bes5t meals Loki had ever eaten.

Druidess paused, then explained everything that had transpired.

"Ugh, Kajeenith, again? Moron. But you say this little fellow in the pointy hat single handedly destroyed the four seasons?" Gaia asked.

She reached for Loki. There really was no point in trying to stop it. but her grip was gentle, even healing. It was as if the concepts of Worry and trouble never existed. All there was, was boundless Joy.

"You destroyed my guardians? I must say, that's some feat. Congratulations." Gaia said.

As Loki was raised through the air by Gaia and then onto a similar level with her stellar sized head, the young mage couldn't help but wonder if she was angry when she said the following statement.

"You destroyed my guardians? I must say, that's some feat. Congratulations."

"Umm... t-t-thanks," he replied hesitantly.

Was it all over?

OOC: No, its not over, one last battle remains, but not for another post or two.

IC:
"Don't be so nervous wee child." Gaia said. Loki suddenly felt as though she had embraced him, an act, which surely would have crushed him to death.

She set him down, and stood to her full heighth. Loki could see well her legs. Everything else wes to far away to clearly make out.

Gaia raised her hand. The great bush disappeared, and spread accross the land, revivng the fallen, and restoring it to what it was.

The Cavern became a great living throne, and beasts of all kinds roamed about. All the creatures waited for Gaia to sit. And sit she did, crosslegged. She wore nothing, but not for long. She smiled, and white cloth covered her. Her skin was greenish, and fruit grew out of her long hair.

"And now, to settle all matters. For the rebel Bird people, the rebel elves, and the rebel Merpeople, I leave them to their assorted governments to work out." Gaia said.

Wilhelm stepped forward.
" Pardon, Dearest Mother, but the Elven people have had no King for quite some time." he said.

"And why do you say that, good Elven King?" Gaia asked.

"My apologies, I was simply unaware of my elevated status, is all." he said.

"Which reminds me. You four were key to this whole thing. That is a matter which will be dealt with, PERMANENTLY." Gaia said in a frightful manner.

Even Druidess looked apprehensive.

Golden Light surrounded Loki.

He found himself in a plain chair facing Gaia. He was as big as she was, or she was as small as him. It was unclear, as they were in a white Void.

"I can let you remain here, but I fear you would be as much an outcast as Mr.35. Don't get me wrong, all your days you would be regarded as a hero, and treated well, but, Wilhelm will find himself busy reuniting his people, Arie will unfortunatly soon find herself occupied with being a Queen, as Trito's health declines. And not to far away in the future, she will find love, and children. Both of them would be occupied, and visits with them would of a neccessity, be breif. Druidess, she would welcome a friend, but unfortunatly, soon she will die, and be gone for a time of rest, before I reincarnate her.

See, You would be alone, all the time. The common folk, they fear you too much to be a real friend. Even I will soon be busy, aiding my children, and overseeing the general well being of my Reality, that, and securing it from The Nameless One and Kajeenith.

I fear in your lonliness, you would be driven to suicide in depression, or driven insane.

However, there is another way. I cannot send you back to your Reality, however, I do know another that can. His name is Warfare. He's a bit strange at times, but I trust him over the two nothing jerks. On occasions we've talked, he sometimes speaks of a Tower, all white. He speaks fondly of it. Perhaps, he can help you find your home in your reality.

Either way, I must know which path you choose. Will you Retire here, or shall I call Warfare, after of course, the Celebration of my return tomorrow." Gaia asked.

OOC: You retire here, that's it. You go to Warfare, you talk with him for a bit, go destroy Kajeenith, and then go home.

ooc: That was just Loki musing on the matter.

IC:

Loki took it all in, surprised as he was to be similar size to the giant Gaia. There were two paths; one in which he remained here in loneliness and the other in which he returned home to his warm mountaintop cave.

There was no debate over the matter, even if he wouldn't be as lonely in this strange reality. Home was home was home. Simple as that. Without hesitating he replied, "I will miss my new friends, but I want to go home."

Speak of Warfare and the White Tower was encouraging as it was the first talk of anything from another reality that he knew in a while.

Gaia smiled.

Golden light, and he found he was looking at Giant Gaia, and she was smiling back.

Wilhelm, Druidess, and Arie were comming from similar experiences.

"Now, Stand before me, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter." Gaia commanded.

With a feeble gust of wind, the four defeated seasons stoo d trembling before Gaia.

"I Refuse to forgive you of your sins and trespasses. You will be destroied, and never allowed to exist again. You were created with knowledge to know better than to take this path. I wounds me deeply to see that my four guardians lost faith. Had you kept your faith, I would have made you seperate entities in your own right." Gaia said.

Power gathered in her hand.

"Now begone." she said.

"Father Kajeenith! Please, Save us!" The Four seasons crid out.

Time froze. Gaia's powers hovered before the seasons. Only loki could see this happen, being from another Reality.

The Nameless One appeared.

"My servant gave you mediocore powers. No wonder you lost. Kajeenith will suffer for his incompetence." TNO said.

The seasons looked confused.

"Now I change you and bind you all together, give you new form and greater power. From the ashes of the old comes the new. Arise, Dark Gaia!" TNo said.

Black curled around the seasons. They screamed, but their voices slowly merged into one triumphant laugh. Dark Gaia was half the heighth of Gaia.

The great sacred bush Died. Dark Gaia naturally destroyed Nature, while Gaia Naturally enhanced and created it.

The Black rolled around dark gaia, and she looked at Loki with a ruthless glare in her eyes.

Gaia freed herself, Wilhelm, Druidess, and Arie from the Time Freeze.

TNO left Reality, and Gaia teleported all 6 of them to the great plains.

Gaia stood off in the distance.

Dark Gaia was close to Wilhelm Arie and Loki, and she spat Corrosive acid at Loki.

OOC: Last battle, all or nothing. At least Last battle in this Reality.

More battles!?

As the acid came flying at Loki from its great height above, Loki conjured a simple fire spell and sent it at the acid, lighting it ablaze and burning it up in midair before it arrived to the young mage.

Loki decided to try something different. He grabbed his staff from his side and summoned a different spell that normal.

Great and massive chains erupted from the earth, springing into the sky before attempting to wrap around Dark Gaia and hold in her place. However, before they had gotten far in their lacerating attack, Loki shot a intense orb of cold-fire at the ugly beast....

Dark Gaia laughed. the Cold fire died. The chains rusted and snapped.

The ground at their feet turned to Quicksand. Wilhelm and Arie seemed to be confused as to what was happening. Druidess converted the ground to normal Grass.

Dark Gaia laughed, and grabbed a star from the sky. She used it as a ridiculously oversized Fireball and dropped it on them in 320,000 chunks.

OOC: eek!

IC:

"What do we do!?!" Loki asked frantically as he erected a barrier over them to absorb as much of the star as possible, though some did through and they had to subsequently dodge them or risk being burnt and crushed.

OOC: eek!

IC:

Fortunatly, most of the star was absorbed.

"What do you think we do?" Druidess snapped irritably as she changed into a Behemoth.

"Invite over for Tea and Crumpets?" She roared sarcasticly in her behemoth form.

Then she proceeded to gore Dark Gaia. Her horn snapped clean off her forehead.

Wilhelm took out his Shield. there was a rocket Launcher in the shield.

"My, what a strange looking weapon." he said puzzling over how it worked.

Then he noted the instructions on it.

He shot it, and it hit, but appeared to do nothing.

Arie snapped up her Quasi-magickal Trident and spun it around, and shot lightning at Gaia. It just seemed to bounce off.

Dark Gaia punched the Ground. A great Earthquake ensued.

OOC: Again, no sign of damge will be known until she's defeated.

Earthquakes could be and great and terrible things, disorienting and confounding at the least, but Loki had long since learned how to deal with them with a simple spell. It was temporary, but easily long enough to last until the tremor had passed. When he felt Dark Gaia cast the quake, he cast a spell of his own, which caused the entire party to float into the air and maintain a height of a few feet. They were essentially as light as for the moment...

But it was back on the offensive for the young mage. The air crackled with electricity as Loki began his next attack. A shaft of ice shot out from his coupled hands and spiked directly at the giant form of Dark Gaia. It grew as it went, becoming thicker, larger, and sharper as it flew at the beast. When it finally connected a million volts of electricity traveled from both hands up the spike, encompassing it in its charge and then exploding onto the enemy. Finally, the ice turned black and then seemingly disappeared, instead being replaced by a constant wave of dark purple and black energy...

They were essentially as light as for the moment...

But it was back on the offensive for the young mage. The air crackled with electricity as Loki began his next attack. A shaft of ice shot out from his coupled hands and spiked directly at the giant form of Dark Gaia. It grew as it went, becoming thicker, larger, and sharper as it flew at the beast. When it finally connected a million volts of electricity traveled from both hands up the spike, encompassing it in its charge and then exploding onto the enemy. Finally, the ice turned black and then seemingly disappeared, instead being replaced by a constant wave of dark purple and black energy...

Dark Gaia Literally ripped herself to shreads, only to reassemble herself high above, and come down for a massive foot stomp on all of them together. and she was big enough to do it too.

The downward motion of her feet caused a huge draft of to push downwards and out. Being as light as air, Loki flew to the side, well away from the giantess' foot and out of harm's way.

He countered. The spell he cast required a short incantation as well some prayer, but it seemed to work as the clouds rumbled and then with a thunderclap, a massive hammer (side of a few houses) came flying out of the gray clouds and towards Dark Gaia.

The Thunderbolt and Massive hammer split Dark Gaia into a fearsome horde of Wasps. Druidess called on the north wind and scattered the Swarm. Dark Gaia Reassembled and began a spell so powerful it required incantation as well as power and motion.

Dark Gaia drew her hands apart, and then brought them together. As she brought them together elements of all kinds appeared and she made motions with her hands, but they were obscured by the elements. Great power loki could feel.

The whole while she intoned an incantation:
"Copiae copie of Incendia exsisto meus vires , Copiae copie of Levitas ostendo mihi via. Pervenio of Glacies Transporto mihi vestri vires , Pervenio of Unda Wash lemma absentis , Vox of orbis terrarum Palpito quod Contremisco , Vox of rememdium tribuo lemma morbus. Aevum of Tractus , certus of Partum , Aevum of Vicis , Rector of vita , certamen quod licentio take suum vox absentis. Veneficus of vetus , Veneficus of novus , sinus ut meus mos , quod insisto meus vires take illud pro mihi ex lux lucis."

Loki would get a horrible sinking feeling that something quite terrible and beyond his level of power to stop was about to happen.

The other three were frozen in fear.

"No." Loki heard Good Gaia whisper.

Loki did understand any of the words, but he knew it couldn't be good. However, he couldn't figure out what to do to stop her... she had absorbed all of his attacks and retaliated each time...

OOC:Actuslly, its latin she speaks.

IC:

Gaia sheilded them, but that was all she could do. Dark Gaia caused the spell to shoot straight at Gaia. Gaia caught it full in the chest, and toppled over. Dark Gaia seemed somehow, stronger.

Dark Gaia repeated the spell. Only this time she kept repeating it over and over again It radiated out from her, and seemed to consume energy.

Memories seemed to overtake Loki. Memories, that, never happened.

Loki was back at the White Tower, with Xos, and the other Arch Wizards, except, they were diffrent. Older, wiser, stronger.

"Loki, Find the calm." They all said at once.

"When you find the calm, the center of Balance, you find the Key. Nature itself follows this rule. Loki, how could you have forgotten one of the basic lessons?" they asked at diffrent seconds.

The Entire tower collapsed, and Brought Loki back to the present moment.

Find the Calm.

Wait, what was that, yes, Dark Gaia was at the center of the storm, the Calm, the balance. Loki could see magick coming from her,

He could also see something no one else could. Her defenses were completly down.

ooc: Loki never went to school to learn Latin...

ooc: Blast away...?

IC:

A strange series of events had taken him from near death to old memories of the beloved White Tower and then back again to the grassy plains where a powerful storm threatened to destroy them all.

At the center, the calm of the storm, the young mage saw that Dark Gaia was concentrating all of her powers into increasing the energy gathering around her and left her defenses down.

It was time to blast away.... Balls of fire shot out from Loki's hands at high speeds, one after another without relenting. They soared into the storm, creating small breaks in it, and then at the evil beast herself.

Dark Gaia shimmered, and died. She began to Topple over onto them.

Druidess Caught them all in her behomoth mouth and ran out of the way. Dark Gaia melted into the plain.

Gaia picked herself up and walked over.

"You have won. Our reality is safe, for a whie at least. Perhaps sometime we'll see a return of Dark Gaia, perhaps not." Now, to celebrations." Gaia said.

"Your wounded." Druidess said.

"I'll recover. It is to me, what a mere scratch is to you." Gaia said.

The party lasted exactly 35 hours, 47 minutes, and 30 seconds.

The party lasted exactly 35 hours, 47 minutes, and 30 seconds.

ooc: lol

IC:

It was tiring... everything. The constant battles and travels had trained him of his physical and metaphysical energy. The partying afterwards had not helped...

When it was all over, all the young mage wanted was a good long nap in the bed of his comfortable, mountaintop dwelling.

He prepared to say goodbye...

A troop of Mermen waited on the shores of The Great Lake.

Arie fondly embraced Loki.

"don't forget the great City beneath the Great Dome reef. And take care of yourself." she said. She took a shell from the nearby merman.

"here, whenever you wish, this shell will project an illusion of the city. The illusion will change to reflect how it changes." She said.

A picturesque, yet so very sad departing...

Loki would miss the people he had met, the places he had seen, the friends he had made, but it was time to go home.

But at least he would always have the memories and images. "Thank you Arie," he said as he returned the embrace.

She kissed him on the cheek and stepped away. Gaia's hand came up from the ground beneath him, and blocked his view. It came away. he was on a broad trunk, facing wilhelm. A large number of well armed Elf's were nearby, and he wore a Gold crown on his head.

"Now hurry your magesty, we have business to attend to, and peace keeping between the Santa Elves and Keebler Elves." An offical looking elf said.

"i'll take as much time as I wish. And learn to pronounce, dunce, its Sahn Ta, and Khebler, not Santa and Keebler, I mean come on,. Santa Elves, Keebler elves? Get Real." Wilhelm said.

Wilhelm turned to Loki.

"Loki. Its been an honor to be by your side. Now, unfortunatly, it seems we must part. I, to boring administrative duties, and reuniting a fractured empire.
Although there is a plus. See that pretty Elf over there? She's the last remaining Elven princess. She's my Girlfriend." Wilhelm said with a smile.

The Elf in question waved at them. She was very pretty. Eventually, they would marry, and have a modestly sized family. The only real disagreement they would ever have, was whether their room should be Green, or silver. They would, after a five day hostile standoff, agree to Green and Silver. nine months later, the crown prince would be born.

Wilhelm sighed. Then shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, Can't keep you here all day." he said, holding out his hand for a firm Handshake.

OOC: ROFL. That elf thing made me smile and laugh!

IC:

Loki smiled broadly as he found himself staring at a very regal looking Wilhelm, flanked by royal elven guards and in the background his lovely bride-to-be.

"It was a pleasure meeting you," Loki said as he looked up with his bright yellow eyes. He shook Wilhelm's hand with his own gloved paw and then waved good bye...

Gaia's hand took Loki away again. This time, she was surrounded by a great vail of black. A small plain, a miniture forest, a tiny puddle, and a few hills that could be mountains were beneath . A flying dirt Clod wove a path around her.

Druidess Embraced him.

"Thank you for being a frtiend." She said not letting go, tears in her eyes.

"Druidess, you can visit him from time to time." Gaia said.

She was still gigantic.

"Oh yes, remember the fairy Raerae?" Gaia asked.

"well, she's alive again. She found her real husband this time." Druidess said.

"Time to go Loki. Fly safely." Gaia said. She grabbed Loki.

"BYE! See ya soon!" Druidess called.

Gaia drew back, and then hurled Loki as fast and as hard she could.

Within seconds, there was nothing.

Loki could hear a Cloak flapping to his right. If he looked over, he would see Kajeenith grinning at him.

"I'm gonna get you Loki." Kajeenith said.

He brought his sword crashing at Loki.

Loki would wake up in a bed. There would be a really big Fireball hovering in the room.

"Are you okay?" it asked.

Loki was sad to see Druidess go, the last of his friends - even more because Gaia told the young mage that she was to die soon. But that was the way of things and Gaia did say she would revive the Druidess...

And then he was flying... then nothing... then sleep.

He woke up, a pain in his head. "Was I dreaming?" he wondered as he rubbed his head.

But then a giant fireball hovered in the air above him... and it spoke.

"Are you okay?"

"Umm... yeah, I think so," Loki replied, realizing his head no longer hurt.

"You look familier. have we met somewhere before?" The fireball asked.

A tornado with Lightning shooting out of it swirled into the room.

"We have, from before, when we were weaker." It said.

A Water Drop fell in through the window.

"Yes. Before we got stronger and came here."It said.

An Earthen Golem sprang up from the Floor.

"Yes, do you not remember?" It asked.

Runes appeared on the wall. A disembodied voice read what they said.

"Yes, though it was so very long ago, I do so hope he'll forgive us if we don't all remember his name."

"What, you mean you don't remember him?" A black ball of bestructive Black Mana said.

"I remember him quite well."" Said an old woman whose white hair hid her face.

"It was another place though." The very space around him seemed to say.

"And another time." Another voice said at the same time without somehow interrupting.

A white Sphere of pure mana appeared.

"Yes, we remember you, don't you remember us, Loki?" It asked.

A bright flash, and the diffrent objects turned into people. Two others appeared out of nowhere. They all looked up at the same time including the old woman, revealing themselves to be The Archwizards of Warfare.

Loki was oh so confused as the different entities talked amongst themselves about the young mage who had just woken up, possibly from a bitter sweet dream.

But then they revealed themselves and Loki's memory flashed. He was sitting in a hall of the mighty White Tower. All around him were Archwizards and at the center his future tutor, the grandest of them all, Xos.

"Hiya!" Loki greeted enthusiastically.

"Hiya!" Loki greeted enthusiastically.

"Why, its been longer than I care to calculate since I've last seen you." Chronae said with his characteristic cup of tea still in hand.

"Loki, did everything turn out okay? once I wrestled TNO out of that reality, i was forced back here." Xos asked.

"Oh, plenty of time for that later." Khalan said while walking over to Loki.
"Everything in working order Dearie?" she asked.

Scria sat in the chair Khalan was in in the corner of the bare metal room. Loki was on a nice comfortable bed though. It was the kind that was always difficult to get out of, but always comfortable.

Guess it wasn't a dream...

"Uh, yeah... I think so," Loki replied in his always hesitant answer to the question whether he was okay or not.

"Where am I?" he wondered as he sat up slowly and looked around at everybody. "And Why am I here?"

Guess it wasn't a dream...

"Uh, yeah... I think so," Loki replied in his always hesitant answer to the question whether he was okay or not.

"Where am I?" he wondered as he sat up slowly and looked around at everybody. "And Why am I here?"

"Where, your on the Warhaven, A battleship larger than most Galaxies, single-handedly built by Warfare himself, when he got bored once a few centuries back. It looks like a gigantic pancacke. Its as wide as most galaxies, but its only 30 stories tall at its widest point, and the edges are sharper than a Katana." Stellas said.

"As to why? we don't know. We don't concern ourselves with anyones path through life, unless its neccessary." Chronae said.

"Warfare might know. He's the one that caught Loki as he came sailing in with Kajeenith hot on his trail." Xos said.

"Would you like to go see him?" Scria asked.

"That's a funny design," Loki said with a giggle, the first laughter for him in a while.

Kajeenth?

"Sure," Loki replied as he was asked if he would like to see the omnipotent Warfare. As they went, Loki curiously asked, "Kajeenth? Where is he now?"

"That's a funny design," Loki said with a giggle, the first laughter for him in a while.

Kajeenth?

"Sure," Loki replied as he was asked if he would like to see the omnipotent Warfare. As they went, Loki curiously asked, "Kajeenth? Where is he now?"

"He isn't." Which was the most honest answer any of them could give.
The stopped before a door and opened it. Guards lined the hallway. All of them femail. They wore armor, that was for certain, but it was all diffrent colors. some wore red, others wore purple. Some wore other colors. They all carried a spear. They were also as still as statues.

"Straight down that hall. We'd come with you, but we have business to attend to." They said.

Then they vanished.

"K... bye!" he waved as they disappeared and he was left alone. Or at least it felt like he was alone, but the truth of the matter was that there was a bounty of guards standing still as the mountains of his home.

Loki walked down the line of guards, admiring their vigilance and dedication as well as their abilities. He soon arrived at the end...

Loki walked down the line of guards, admiring their vigilance and dedication as well as their abilities. He soon arrived at the end...

"LOKI!!!!" A voice exlaimed from the other side.

The doors blew open with a bang. Yet still the guards did not move.

A baby green dragon came bounding out.

"Back Norgon!" Wrfare called.

The baby green dragon, appearently called Norgon, stopped short of Loki. Of all things it barked at him and wagged its tail like a dog.

Nearby, a depressed looking Dog laid on a pile of gold like a dragon.

"The darndest thing, someone reversed their souls. It is kinda funny though." Warfare said.

He snapped and Loki found himself sitting in the throne room next to Warfare.

"So, how's it been? Care for some Tea, hot chocolate, a refreshing carbonated beverage, Wine, beer, Lite Beer, Poison? Well, no poison for you. But you can have coffee if you want." Warfare said. As he spoke each item suddenly appeared. He grabbed the bear and sent it far away.

"No alcohol either, this is a Dry reality, much to the disapointment of some of its citizens." Warfare said.

"Either way, want anything to eat? I have an extensive menu and the 12 best cooks to be found accross 136,345 diffrent realities scattered accross 456 diffrent levels of Reality, one cook is nothing more than a beam of light, he can also whip up the best baby back ribs you ever did put in your mouth." Warfare said.

He snapped, and they were standing on an empty barren plain.

"so, what are you here for, a wife? Can't remain alone forever you know. Perhaps you want more power. Just takes time and training. Or maybe you want to rule your own imaginary Country. Easily arranged, I know a good website for just that very purpose. Or can it be, you just simply missed me and wanted to visit." Warfare said.

Loki smiled at the dragon... it was cute and endearing. He rather liked it, even it was having a soul disorder.

Then he appeared next to Warfare, much to his delight, who began offering him all types of drinks. "No, I don't like coffee thank you. Just a water would be great," the young mage added.

Then there was food. However, partying for a day and half straight had filled with him more food than he would eat in a month... never would he be hungry again. "No thanks, I'm fine," he responded politely.


And finally there was the question as to why he was here, to which he answered simply. "I just appeared here... I kinda wanted to get home."


[RIP Steve Irwin]

[RIP Steve Irwin]

"Ahh, home is where the heart is. Okay, I'll take you home. But their just one thing standing in the way of anyone getting you home. Brother Dearest and his imaginary master." Warfare said.

{Who's Steve irwin}

"What are they doing?" Loki asked, wondering why and how they were preventing his journey home.


[The Crocodile Hunter]

"What are they doing?" Loki asked, wondering why and how they were preventing his journey home.


[The Crocodile Hunter]

[He died?!? How?]

"Oh, just blocking off all of the inter-Reality pathways preventing anyone and everyone from traveling if they don't have their permission. Looks like I'll have to get off my rear and take Kaj down a few notches again." warfare said.

[Police say he was stung through the heart by a stingray while diving off Port Douglas.]

"I hope it doesn't cause a big problem..." Loki replied innocently.

[Police say he was stung through the heart by a stingray while diving off Port Douglas.]

"I hope it doesn't cause a big problem..." Loki replied innocently.

OOC: Dang, how, Ironic. he wrestled Crocodiles and took us to deep jungles full of dangerous creatures,, but on a relaxing recreational Dive a stingray kills him.

IC: Arianna appeared out of nowhere.

"Of course not dear." She said.

"But, Ari dear, as we are, we are not strong enough." Warfare said.

"War honey, don't you remember?" she said.

the embraced, and passionetly kissed. But unlike most couples, they didn't draw apart. In fact, golden blazing light surrounded them. then it faded.

In the spot where they once stood, a new entity stood. Niether man, nor woman, it was so powerful that it made both Warfare and Arianna seem weak. It was all suited for a full out war, and was more frightening then anything else Loki had seen since crossing the door. Its armor was of pure light. Its sword, was of a pure silver energy. And its eyes, its eyes burned with the need for Justice.

"I am Warana, the near perfect entity. With my power and my strength, I shall bring Retribution to Kajeenith and The Nameless One. The things they have done shall not go unpunished. Arise my fallen followers. Arise great warriors of times long past. Gather great Wizards of days from Long ago. Arise one and all, and gather ye here, for we go to destroy the wicked." Warana called.

The entire world began to shake. Dead people rose from the ground and returned to life. The air began to shake as Warhaven appeared in the distance, going from Horizon to Horizon, and beyond.

"You should rest your bones Loki, while we prepare." Warana said. Loki found himself flying far far away. He was in an empty field. A girl sat on a rock with a paintbrush in her hand, twirling it and sitting there enjoying the sunset.

"Hello." she said in a sweet simple voice.

"Wanna enjoy this sunset with me? I painted it special for father." She said.

"Hi," Loki said politely in return. It had been a while since he made contact with a kid, or someone near his relative age... he found it refreshing.

"Yeah, that's nice," he said, commenting both on the picture and the sunet as he sat down next to her. "I'm Loki."

"Yeah, that's nice," he said, commenting both on the picture and the sunet as he sat down next to her. "I'm Loki."

OOC: Actually, there is no Picture, I never said there was a picture. She painted the sky itself, and that's what she's referring to.

IC:
"I'm Sepherena. Have you enjoyed this day? Life isn't worth living if you can't enjoy each and every day, even in a little way. Anyways, i think this sunset needs a dash of purple now." She said. She ran her paintbursh accross the sky and purple appeared.

ooc: Oops. It was late, I was tired... my bad.

IC:

"Yeah... I guess I've enjoyed it a little," Loki said. In fact, now that he thought about it, there were a lot of things he had enjoyed even if they were small. Waking up in a comfortable bed away from the dangers of the world was nice. Then there was seeing all of the Archwizards of Warfare for the first time in a while. The guards that stood stoically and unflinching in the hallway were cool. And then there was Warfare...

And even now as he sat with Sepherena he was enjoying his time. "That's amazing..." Loki said as he watched her actually paint the sky.

ooc: Oops. It was late, I was tired... my bad.

IC:

And even now as he sat with Sepherena he was enjoying his time. "That's amazing..." Loki said as he watched her actually paint the sky.

"Wanna paint?" She asked offering her paintbrush.

OOC: About the paintbrush, Sepherena is a Child Goddess. All of her powers are in that paintbrush, its how they manifest. If she loses it, she's as powerless as you or I really are. ANYTHING Loki paints with it will come to life and become real. And yes, Warfare and Arianna are her parents.

"Oh, I'm not very good at that kind of stuff," Loki admitted. Creativity, especially manifesting itself with an artistic tool of some kind, was definitely not his specialty.

"I've never really painted or anything like that."

ooc: Very cool, I love that idea. (Yeah, I knew they were)

ooc: What if paints a stick figure?

"Oh, I'm not very good at that kind of stuff," Loki admitted. Creativity, especially manifesting itself with an artistic tool of some kind, was definitely not his specialty.

"I've never really painted or anything like that."

ooc: Very cool, I love that idea. (Yeah, I knew they were)

ooc: What if paints a stick figure?

"I don't mind, really." She insisted.

OOC: Even stick figures.

Loki paused momentarily, but eventually took the paintbrush she offered in his gloved hand and attempted to paint. He swabbed the air and tried to draw a little white polar bear...

ooc: hehe...

IC:"Reality passport? I don't need such things. Trapped, here? obviously you fail to understand This place. Fates worse than Death? Don't make me laugh. I inflict those upon myself daily. The only entity I truely fear acts through other agents. The highest of all powers, the very first thing to exist before all other things existed. The beginning before the beginning. You know of what i speak, The Omnisource, known by more names than even we could possibly think of.

Other than that, what part of I don't fear them can't you understand? Stop me from entering realities at my choosing? they don't have such powers. I DO." Kajeenith said.

Phobos laughed and replied, "You don't know the Divine and the Nebula as I do, Kajeenith. This reality, and all others, require balance in all things to exist. You may claim this place to be the Infinite Nothing, but nothing can't exist without something.

"As for one potential fate worse than death they could impose on you, well, ever spend time as a mortal?

"As for this 'Omnisource', as you call it, everything, no matter the reality it hails from, including yourself, are only fragments of the original. There is no god or goddess that all other gods and goddess worship as creator and master. That would defeat the whole purpose of the thing. The original being was fragmented to create ourselves and everything else. This 'Omnisource' of yours doesn't act through agents, it is the agents, in a sense. Unless everyone and everything in every reality merged into one, there is no being worthy of being described, as you have, as the 'Omnisource'."

Phobos watched Kajeenith carefully. If this so called 'God of Nothing' tried to summon a minion creature, Phobos would be ready to respond in kind. There was no way of knowing which was the stronger unless open hostilities started. Of course, that didn't really matter in the long run. It was a well accepted fact that a being knowing how and when to use something could easily defeat another who relied simply on brute force.

Kajeenith disappeared, only to be replaced by a Black Cloud. it wasn't really a black Cloud, but what it really was, was such that not even Gods could comprehend its real form.

"I am The Nameless One. First Creation of The Omnisource. Phobos, you have proven how little you truely know. The very problem is that I do exist, and this, cannot exist in my truest form. Nothing can Exist without Something, it always has, and it always will. It is only when all things are gone, that nothing can exist in its truest form, which is to not exist at all. The sole reason for either my or my servants existence, is to give definiton as to what Something is. No matter how many beings Destroy me, no matter how many times they might try, I cannot be destroied, nor can I be penned into any one Reality, even the reality of nothing. Do not be so childish as to think any Being could do anything to me as to come even close as Simply existing, no matter how base the existence, as I do now. Pain, Love, hatred, Torture, all of it, they are simply aspects of the same thing. My Goal is to exist in my purest and truest form. You and all other things stand in my way. You do not have the right to keep me from my True form, which as I've already mentioned, can only be, when everything is gone. Obviously your to much of an idiot to realise what I really am. It is a pity that the abyss is wasted on one such as you. Perish." TNO said. Then he began absorbing Phobos, Body and Soul, and all his powers, physical, spiritual, or otherwise. All of everything Emma saw just simply vanished, as did the entire illusion of what Kajeenith projected from his mind. There was simply, a great Black Void. The Cloud was indistinguishable from the rest of it.

Loki paused momentarily, but eventually took the paintbrush she offered in his gloved hand and attempted to paint. He swabbed the air and tried to draw a little white polar bear...

ooc: hehe...

The bear seemed fake until loki was done, then it came to life.

ooc: Umm... cool?

IC:

The little polar bear looking figure, though somewhat odd in appearance thanks to Loki's lack of skill, toddled over to the young mage and nuzzled him with his wet nose. In return, Loki began petting the cute little bear...

Sepherena giggled.

"Here, let me have my paintbrush," she said.

Loki handed the paintbrush back its rightful and in all honesty, more worthy owner. He continued to pet the little, though distorted, polar bear... it reminded him of Fuzzy.

Sephrena painted another Polar Bear Identical to the first. There was only one diffrence between the two. Loki's was male, her's was Female.

"I think they need a colder environment." She said.

She painted the entire environment Artic. It wasn't that she changed the planet, it was that she teleported them to an appropriate environment.

Then she took her brush and aged the bears 5 years.

"There. I think they'll do just nicely in this place." She said. Then she frowned.

"But what will we call them? Their not regular Polar Bears, their, diffrent." she said.

"Why aren't they regular polar bears?" Loki wondered, still amazed by all that Sepherena was doing. She was quite amazing and really nice too.

The bears looked older now and were larger then their original baby state... his no longer reminded him of Fuzzy, but it was still better than nothing.

"Look at the Distortion around them. My magick always fixes an image, but because you painted it, when it became real, it gave it the power to distort the local area. Even our power is distorted, gone astray as it were. That's why their diffrent. Their Distort Polar bears, as it were, or, distorta-bears, naming was never my strong suit." She said.

She painted up two mugs of hot chocolate to help combat the frozen atmosphere.

"Hot coco?" she asked.

The logic of it all was partially lost on the young mage, but he decided that Sepherena knew what she was talking about. Distorta-bears... he smiled. "I like the name."

She than created two mugs of hot cocoa for them, seemingly because the atmosphere was that of the arctic and quite cold. Loki accepted gratefully, "Thanks," but he wasn't cold... the small pendant about his neck was glowing and its light warmed him from head to toe.

"Alright then. Lets go somewhere else." She said as she whipped out her paint brush.

She painted them to The Black mage Village. Only it wasn't sticks licke one might believe. They had a few thousand years to evolve. These buildings were Steel, brick, and Crystal.

Mr. 35 looked out. "Loki!" he exclaimed.

Loki was surprised. He didn't realize that she could paint a reality and have them show up there.

"Hey!" he responded to Mr. 35, the only being he had ever seen who had even resembled at all.

Mr.35 had a beard. a couple thousand BM's poked their head out of doors.

The women had no beards. That was the only physical diffrence between the two. a wee little BM baby started to cry. he wanted to go see the strange man with the floppy pointed hat.

"Sepherena! how are you doing milady." Mr 35 called out.

"I'm alright. I thought here might be more comfortable than a frozen desert waste." She said.

"Of course." 35 said.

"are you the brave Mage Loki Uncle 35 talks about all the time?" a shy girl Black Mage about Loki's age said.

"I dunno about brave master... but my name is Loki," the young mage commented. It was strange to see less mature black mages, as he was still only five, just more mature than the human equivalent... hell, it was strange to see black mages at all. Had he thought about it more, he would have been overwhelmed by the thousands of similar beings.

"hehe, that's my niece, 36. We don't know why we go by numbers still, we just do. awfully irritating though, lespecial since my neighbor is Ms. 34513245123. Oh well." Mr.35 said.

"Why, then, I'll call you Bob." Sephrena said with a giggle.

"Actually, we were just going to elect a new ruler. I'd let you vote Loki, but, well, your not a resident. and the gods were forbidden by Warfare to participate in mortal Governments." Mr. 35 said.

"Oh, well lets go see the results then." Sephrena said.

A midget Black Mage carried out the results.

"With a 3 to 1 ratio, Mr. 35 is hereby decreed to be the next Black Waltz." He said, then he left.

Mr 35 was shocked.

OOC: You do remember what the Black Waltzes looked like, right?

"Congratulations!" Loki shouted as Mr. 35 was elected as the new ruler.

ooc: Yep, scary looking buggers.

"Congratulations!" Loki shouted as Mr. 35 was elected as the new ruler.

ooc: Yep, scary looking buggers.

OOC: Good, good.

IC: The midget BM returned with the scepter of the first Black Waltz.

Mr 35 apprehensivly picked it up.

He glowed white, and his power got stronger, leaner, meaner. He also got taller, and sprouted wings. When the light faded, he WAS, a Black Waltz.

"I am the Black Waltz, leader of The Black mages. Allow me to offically welcome you to the Black mage village." Black Waltz said. His voice was scary, but he was nice.

Time Froze.

Warana appeared.

Time restarted.

"Congratulations." he said. Time froze again.

Warana walked over to Loki.

"Look at them all, millions of unique and individual beings. Towards the beginning, when I was still making this reality, I made the Black mages. I based them off of you Loki, but made them, diffrent. I really missed you and the others back at the tower. Perhaps, sometime, I shall return for a visit. Perhaps not. Anyways, in another day or so, I shall be ready." Warana said. Warana departed.

Time unforze.

Black waltz muttered something about oddball dieties.

Loki watched as Mr. 35 transformed before his eyes into a similar yet different looking black mage... apparently called a Black Waltz.

Then, much to the young mage's surprise, Warana appeared and talked with Loki. So Warana had created all these black mages, billions of them, because of Loki...

"Anyways, let me give you the tour." Black Waltz said.

Kajeenith disappeared, only to be replaced by a Black Cloud. it wasn't really a black Cloud, but what it really was, was such that not even Gods could comprehend its real form.

"I am The Nameless One. First Creation of The Omnisource. Phobos, you have proven how little you truely know. The very problem is that I do exist, and this, cannot exist in my truest form. Nothing can Exist without Something, it always has, and it always will. It is only when all things are gone, that nothing can exist in its truest form, which is to not exist at all. The sole reason for either my or my servants existence, is to give definiton as to what Something is. No matter how many beings Destroy me, no matter how many times they might try, I cannot be destroied, nor can I be penned into any one Reality, even the reality of nothing. Do not be so childish as to think any Being could do anything to me as to come even close as Simply existing, no matter how base the existence, as I do now. Pain, Love, hatred, Torture, all of it, they are simply aspects of the same thing. My Goal is to exist in my purest and truest form. You and all other things stand in my way. You do not have the right to keep me from my True form, which as I've already mentioned, can only be, when everything is gone. Obviously your to much of an idiot to realise what I really am. It is a pity that the abyss is wasted on one such as you. Perish." TNO said. Then he began absorbing Phobos, Body and Soul, and all his powers, physical, spiritual, or otherwise. All of everything Emma saw just simply vanished, as did the entire illusion of what Kajeenith projected from his mind. There was simply, a great Black Void. The Cloud was indistinguishable from the rest of it.

"If you know as much as you claim to," Phobos snorted, "then you would know I care nothing about the order of the pantheon you claim to belong to."

When the Nameless One started to try to absorb Phobos, he would be in for one hell of a surprise. He withdrew from the husk that he had been using for this encounter and watched as the lifeless corpse of the former murder was consumed.

"You honestly thought I would make it that easy for you to defeat me?" rang Phobo's voice from everywhere a shadow fell, "such arrogance will be your downfall. As I told your minion, I had no intention of doing more than observe events as they unfolded, but you have forced my hand."

With that, he remoted detonated a M/AM grenade that had been implanted in the corpses chest. Though, mere instants before the pulse wave reached her, he also plucked Emma from her illusionary reality.

"Unlike you," Phobos taunted, "I am able to get by without having to get my proverbial 'gun off'. I am not of one reality, but of all realities.

"Now, why don't you go run off and play with one of those Chaos Gods? I would like to see what happens next and you are being a nusance. I was quite happy to let that windbag minion of yours continue huffing and puffing.

"You claim to be the first created, but I have been since the beginning and I shall be here until the end."

It had truely been a long, LONG time since he had focused so much of his attention on anything so specific. It was quite truthful when he told Kajeenith that he hadn't seen a fraction of what Phobos could do.

As a side thought, he sent Emma to what he considered a safe place. Warhaven would be having a surprise guest pop in a few moments after Phobos sent her off. When he knew she was safe, and wouldn't be getting in the way, Phobos focused even more of his attention on this unknown upstart calling himself the Nameless One.

"You've had your fun," he continued, "now its time to grow up and act your age. Everything is in balance. That balance is requred or everything will be unmade, including yourselves. Continue on this course and it will be your suicide."

After that last bit of helpful info to the arrogant leaders of the Infinite Nothing, he moved most of his attention off them, leaving just enough that he would know if they tried anything. He then moved a bit of his attention into a protective spiritual projection hovering over Emma. He didn't doubt Warhaven would be able to sense his protective presence, but he didn't care, and he doubted the lesser beings with the deity would be able to sense more than the old 'hairs on the back of the neck standing up' type feeling, if anything at all.

OOC: Not a smart move for either Kajeenith or the Nameless One to make. Now Phobos is seriously P'ed Off at them.
Oh, and why am I the last to hear anything. I've been watching TV all day and their wasn't a single report or message on what happened to Steve Irwin. I hope his wife and kid(s) (one last I knew) are okay. Damn, what a way to go.

"Anyways, let me give you the tour." Black Waltz said.

"Alright..." Loki said as he stood up.

"It seems like an awfully big city..." There seemed to be billions and billions of mages and the city was built high and wide.
