OOC:Yep don't get comp much grrr.
IC:There is not time to explain just hurry.

Balfar looked over at Ceran.

"Well, I'm here now."

Kain was in an absolute rage, the Brightblade glowed red. He was shaking with frustration. He knew he could not beat this being... He stood in front of Daniella, trying to protect her.

Daniella felt the healing warmth, and it healed her, leaving not a scratch. She opened her eyes slowy, no longer slipping into the darkness. And then she saw it. She knew what the artifact was.

Daniella got up, and a light glow surrounded her, protecting her from any attack, as if an Angel had posessed her body.

She walked to a point where two trees met, and touched the tree. It seemed to shudder, but a dark bow appeared from the bark. Daniella touched the other tree, and arrows that glistened and shone like fire fell in a quiver by her feet.

She picked up the weapons and moved back by Kain, taking an arrow out and fitting it to the bow. The glow was still penetrating her skin, but now seemed to cover Eve, Kain, and Izual.

Ceran began reciting the ancient texts and within seconds which seemed like hours a huge pure marble corridor opened up he put down the book and said"Follow me."

Kain filled with utter rage at this sight, and saw the newly named woman Eve go over to her. Kain charged towards the demon...the Brightblade raised, he roared, his Cloak went a pure black.

He charged forward, his sword coming down to crash upon him.

(OOC Bear in mind, Kain might not be that pwoerful, the sword is. Obviously he would be able to stop the damage, but he would have a little trouble. The demon is rather powerful, but due to its owner and it's entrapment its power is less.

Mephisto turned as the sword cut through his arm. He screamed. FOR THAT, BEAST, I SHALL PUT YOU THROUGH A THOUSAND TORMENTS OF HELL

He let lose a blaze of venomous fire.

Izual rose to his feet. He would not allow this evil one to harm his friends. Suddenly it dawned on him. He was still in his human form.

Izual willed himself to change. He was not quite sure what to expect but he knew it would be useful.

In a flare of white light he began to change. Large wings sprang forth from his back, one made of pure white energy, the other a dark and sombre sight. It was obvious that Izual still had demon left in him. His right arm turned into a taloned, muscled but demonic figure whilst his left took the appearance of a heavily muscled human arm.

He could feel the energies flowing through him, the light and the dark. Izual was covered by a cloak of armour, composed of angelic and demonic energies.

A large sword appeared in his hand. One side was composed of a white flare whilst the other emitted dark waves of power. Physically, Izual was completely balanced between angel and demon. But his mind, it was fighting for the light and against evil.

Izual blocked the blaze of demonic flame with his sword. Finally he spoke, in a deep voice that echoed around the forest.

"Stop! You shall not harm anyone here."
___________

Balfar followed Ceran's lead.

"So what exactly does this thing do?"

So, Impling. You dare to defy your master? I WAS KILLING HUMANS BEFORE YOU HAD BEEN CREATED! Mephisto shot forth burning fire.

Again, Izual took the wave of fire with his sword, dispelling the attack.

"You are not my master! And you shall not harm these people. The past does not matter, it is the present that is my concern."

Holy energies flowed around Izual, combined with his darker powers.

Traitor! Traitor to your own kind!Mephisto shakes. He assumes his true form. You dare to attack me, who has served the Nameless One for longer than you can ever comprehend? He summons forth his whip, gashing Izual.

Izual leaps back as the whip catches his shoulder. He raises his sword and assumes a defensive position.

"I do not attack you. All I do is defend those in this forest. I was left in the human world. I was new to existence, I knew nothing. You left me to the human world and now this is the consequence. So be it."

Mephisto pauses. LEFT IN THE HUMAN WORLD? YOU FOOL! YOU WERE SENT HERE TO KILL! KILL HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS! TO SPEED UP OUR MASTER'S RELEASE!

Izual released a sarcastic laugh.

"Well... someone forgot to mention that to me.

The lady listened to Mephisto's yelling. She took this oppurtunity to retreat into the darkness. With his attention diverted to Izual, she could slip out of harms way.

She thought, "If I get away, then he should leave them all alone."

Izual released a sarcastic laugh.

"Well... someone forgot to mention that to me.

One would think it obvious. No matter. You die here.

Izual looked up at the massive demon.

"I think not. I shall not die here and neither shall the others. Take your business elsewhere. We want nothing to do with you."

Waves of crushing misery came from Mephisto, causing all to feel doubt. I SHALL KILL YOU... WHAT?

A massive voice shook the entire clearing. The image of Mephisto began to bend and shift. FOOLISH IMPLING! YOU HAVE FAILED ME! RETURN TO THE VOID. COME FACE YOUR PUNISHMENT. I WILL DEAL WITH THE TRAITOR MYSELF WHEN I HAVE A MOMENT.

Mephisto began to fade from view. "No! I Won't go... help me!" He vanished.

Izual fell to his knees as despair took hold of him. The mere presence of that voice caused great misery and dread to all the beheld it.

Eventually the feeling passed. Izual returned to his feet, still holding his sword.

"Is everyone alright?"

The lady watched the end of fight; she watched Izual fall to his knees and stand back up. Mephisto was gone, she was safe for the moment.

She edged her way out of the darkness and toward Izual. She stopped in front of him.

"Thank you," she whispered. "Thank you for helping us all."

Izual smiled. He changed back into his human form once again.

"Think nothing of it lady. Mephisto has attempted to corrupt you but I shall not let him. You are a good person at heart and I would not let him harm you."

He looked wearily around the forest.

"I think it best we leave. Who knows what will happen in the near future."

The lady smiled kindly to Izual.

"We will meet again," she said as she walked away into the darkness.

She turned around and faced Daneilla.

"Thank you for everything."

Izual made his way over to the others.

"I must leave soon. I have much to learn about my new purpose. I wish you all good luck for the future.

"Alright....I doubt that will be the last we will see from him...." Kain said.

Izual nodded.

"It troubles me greatly that evil itself is so strong. I have a feeling we will need a lot of luck in the future."

"Aye...but we can become strong too...." Kain said

Izual pondered this for a few moments.

"Indeed we can. We shall not allow the forces of darkness to have their way with this world."

Daniella was stareing off into space. She was almost in another world. But then, it began to fade. Everything. She fell to her knees, blinking and breathing hard. She looked up to see Kain.

"He's gone? Is Eve okay?"

"Yes...yes he is gone. But I do not know about her...." Kain said as he looked over.

Eve stood still facing toward Daneilla, the soft gentle breeze refreshing her with each wave. Her dress fluttered with the slight wind as she stood half concealed by the shadows of the large trees.

She hoped that Daneilla was alright. She would have walked over to see before she left. However, she dared not leave from her view point. She seemed to be stopped by an invisible and nonexistant mental barrier.

She stepped foreward, but retrieved her foot as fast as she placed it.

"You shall see it grants great great power''Ceran said as he let out a small unaudible sentence under his breath.

As he walked down the seemigly endless corridor he walked in to a pure white room and in the middle there was a great book entirely made of metal even the pages!

"Read"

Balfar began to read the metalic book. Immediately he did not like what he saw, but he continued to read.

OOC:The book is like got stuff about great power end of the world and self power.
IC:As Balfar began to read enrgies began to stir in a whirlwind infront of the book in it was an angelic being an aura of good emanated from him.
Great power also began to stir around Balfar and soon he was surrounded the energy being absorbed into him.
The being in the middle was off great power and good he looked at Ceran and sneered he raised his arm positive energy swirled around his arm he launched it at Ceran,he dodged it bending back(Think Matrix) it slammed into the wall"Fool Balfar you now might have great power but you are little more than a pawn"Ceran said as he summoned some of his power"You released the one thing i needed you to"
As Ceran said that the angelic being ran for him he took a swing but missed smashing a huge hole in the wall chunks of white metal feel on the ground Ceran struck back kicking him in the jaw the blow sending the being flying back ceran came up and withe his gathered energy fired at the being the blast nearly killing it Ceran began absorbing it's essence
The being lay there it's eyes stirring and called to Balfar"Save me"
With that Ceran grew a large spine on his arm and launched it at the beings head it's essence sucked dry blood spattering the room.
He looked at Balfar "Stupid pawn"
OOC:In case you can't tell Ceran's now evil

Balfar looked on in astonishment.

"Crap! You just had to turn psychotic."

Balfar summoned his new found energies. In one quick swipe with his staff, Balfar unleashed a wave of power towards Ceran, blasting him away from the angelic figure.

Ceran angered by this got up and lunged himself through the air oover thebiengs dead body he had absorbed the beings essence and it's power he flew to Balfar and grabbed his shoulders and continued flying slamming himself and balfar into the wall and said "You cannot destroy your own god Balfar my power is incomprehenible now surender or i will just have to drain your energy and your life"

Balfar erupted in an outburst of power, sending Ceran away from him.

"Well. I can see that you are far stronger than me. I really have no issues with you as long as you leave me alone. Enjoy your little reign of terror."

A gigantic sphere of power engulfed Balfar. Once it faded, he was gone.
__________

Balfar appeared in the forest, next to Izual. He looked over the figures gathered around the forest.

"Sorry to burst everyone's bubble. But Ceran has gone nuts. Like evil psychotic nuts. Just thought you should know."

Without another word, Balfar collapses from the injuries he sustained during his flight through a stone wall.

Ceran sent a message to Balfar "You cannot destroy me i am your GOD"

Balfar's mind was still very active.

"You are not my god. I have no gods. Just remember, there are ways to destroy gods. Don't take this as a threat. I'm not stupid enough to pick fights that I can't win. I suggest we go our seperate ways."

Izual kneeled down next to Balfar and inspected his injuries.

"He is alive. Merely bruised."

Izual once again applied his healing energies, mending Balfar's injuries.

'"Fool You can not destroy god's merely banish them which i assure you youare not powerful enough just for that.

"Have you been listening or not? I have no intention of banishing you. We have no reason to be in conflict. To put it bluntly, bugger off!"

Balfar was beginning to regain his consciousness.

Ceran sent this message to Izual"You know Balfar's trying to kill you he wants to murder you he claimed i i was evil then he tried to murder me he's trying to draw you into a trap when you least expect it.

Izual's newly aquired angelic senses could sense the lack of truth in Ceran's statement.

"Do not attempt to decieve me. I know you lie. I suggest you do not pursue this evil path. Remember, we are watching you."

Balfar finally rose to his feet.

"Ceran. What the hell got into you?"

Daniella looked into Kain's eyes.

"You let her go! Without me saying goodbye?" A tear ran down her cheek, and she brushed it away quickly.

"I hope she's alright."

"What me?Why nothings got into me although it just might be the power hungry supposed good guys who cavort with daemons like Izual.
He sent that message to Balfar
"Izual how are you watching me you do not know where i am chasing me would be like chasing something thats not real"
Then that to Izual.

Izual replied.

"I said we. There are beings far greater than you or I, Ceran. Remember that."

Balfar released a sarcastic laugh.

"Power hungry? Oh and of course you are a perfectly innocent little avatar. Get your facts straight. I do not seek power and Izual is an angel."

OOC: We should finish up soon. Leave Ceran for the next one.....

OOC:I plan to develop my other characters.
IC:"Greater than i i'm merely an avatar my true form is far more powerful."

Izual sighed.

"Your ego blinds you. Do not cross the forces of heaven."

Balfar grew tired of this conversation.

"Well, it's been nice talking Ceran. Let us never meet again."

OOC: Everyone make their final posts soon.

"So be it the day will come when i shall reap my vengeance from you"

You failed me, Mephistopheles.

No, m'lord! I just didn't succeed! Mephisto said, trying to keep his cool before his master, the Nameless One, the Dark Evil, King of Death, the Big No-No.

A massive wave of power swept him, sending him flying through the void. He screamed in pain. No, Master!

Foolish impling.

Mephisto's screams could be heard throughout the void.

Balfar and Izual were not concerned with Ceran's threats. For the moment, they had peace. Balfar would continue his quest for knowledge whilst Izual would pursue his new purpose.

The pair approached Kain and Daniella. Izual spoke.

"Thankyou for all that you have done. I'm sure we shall see eachother again."

Balfar continued, his humour returning.

"Indeed. I can't wait to see what our next adventure is......"

"I am sorry Daniella. I...I just do not know what to believe about her. I just don't know. Still...let me judge her upon her actions in future....only time will tell." Kain said and sighed.

"I am just tierd of all of this....things where oh so simpler in the past. Why can I not go back to that? Still I know that is impossible...I cannot forget this....I just want to sleep Daniella. But I cannot for a while, there is still much to be done.... But soon. Soon." Kain said, and looked at the Brightblade. Kain looked weary, a tierd man with much ahead of him.

Daniella stood, looked Kain in the eyes, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"You can do it. Let's get out of here."

As Kain and Daniella conversed, Izual recieved a mental message from his superiors.

"Well guys. It seems I have to go. Thanks for everything. I'm sure we'll see eachother again."

Balfar nodded his head in acknowledgement.

"To think we were once demons."

The lady walked further into the dark abyss. Her thoughts were pleasant as she remembered her brief conversation with Daniella.

She thought "I have a feeling we shall meet again one day. She has shown me something I thought was impossible. She showed me a friend."

She smiled as she wondered aimlessly in her dark abyss.

Kain, Daniella???? Once you reply we can finish up.....

OOC: It's Kain's post.

Kain.... would you care to post so we can finish up?

Daniella stood, looked Kain in the eyes, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"You can do it. Let's get out of here."

Kain nodded and smiled. He began to walk away with her to Velmora.

(OOC Sorry for low quality post.)

Izual disappeared in a flash of heavenly light. Balfar was left standing in the grove alone.

He decided it was time to recommence his quest. But for now he would rest. He lay down, against a tree and quickly drifted off into unconsciousness.
_________

Lord Arithon was furious. He slaughtered several demons that attempted to calm him.

How could you let them escape! There were thousands of you! And Mephisto. I send dozens of demons to his shop and they still escaped.

Arithon knocks several cowering demons into a firery lake as he paces.

They shall pay for this. All of them.

OOC: Thanks for making this another successful rp everyone.... :D

(Very enjoyable and it allowed me to do a few things..)

i guess we shall await the next major one.....
