Holy High - IC - Open

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

Yes! I risked life, limb, and purity to save you from Hell! I tried... so hard... and then you were snatched from me... Raguel sobs, his tears stinging. I turned.... horrible when they took you...

Finally, Lux completely gave in. He closed his eyes again, and hugged Raguel back."...But...it is over, now...All of that is over...There is nothing to fear...and we can be family again. That is all I have ever wanted..." he whispered, "...I have been alone and afraid of others and myself for so long, knowing I have hurt people...I only want to be part of a family...nothing more..."

Raguel hugs him harder. I'm sorry, so sorry... So, so, so sorry... I shouldn't have let them take you... I should have saved you sooner... Raguel rambles, the voice getting quieter and quieter.

[Skyline United]

If fire and ice works, then would it not make sense that other powers that are of opposite mentality would work as well? Things such as light and darkness, healing and chaos. There are more than fire and ice.

He moved his arms around, still getting used to having a full body.

Ishtar ran over to the red head and waved at him. "Hello, friend! Its been a while!" She gathered the conversation. "Opposites seem to work... in fact, i'm a walking opposite, Love and War"

Meanwhile, Phobia and and Rose are still talking.

"I know the consequences, but I can't leave. Not now. Please, is there any way to prevent their wrath?!"

"You have already been told by them. A relationship between two manifestations is okay, but a manifestation and a god? It's forbidden. You and I both know that they can't be defeated... The light and darkness and existed for far longer than you or I. Please, just leave. You don't want them to hurt her do you?"

"No, I don't want any pain to come upon her from my actions. I won't let that happen again. I-I can't lose someone else. C-can I at least say goodbye?"

"Do as you please, fear, but know that if you refuse to return... They will come for you." is the final thing Rose said before vanishing.

Finally, Lux completely gave in. He closed his eyes again, and hugged Raguel back."...But...it is over, now...All of that is over...There is nothing to fear...and we can be family again.

Raguel hugs him harder. I'm sorry, so sorry... So, so, so sorry... I shouldn't have let them take you... I should have saved you sooner... Raguel rambles, the voice getting quieter and quieter.

"Raguel...there is no need to be angry with yourself...I am not angry at you anymore, now that I understand...I forgive you, Raguel. I love you," he whispered.

[Rookanse]

Ishtar ran over to the red head and waved at him. "Hello, friend! Its been a while!" She gathered the conversation. "Opposites seem to work... in fact, i'm a walking opposite, Love and War"

"Many would say that love and war come from the same impulse, though. The ancient Norse believed that love, war, and poetry were all related." comes the cold, emotionless voice.

"Well, I guess i'll have to try it out and see.... I don't think we have met, i'm the Goddess, Ishtar"

Ishtar ran over to the red head and waved at him. "Hello, friend! Its been a while!" She gathered the conversation. "Opposites seem to work... in fact, i'm a walking opposite, Love and War"

Meanwhile, Phobia and arose are still talking.

"I know the consequences, but I can't leave. Not now. Please, is there any way to prevent their wrath?!"

"Do as you please, fear, but know that if you refuse to return... They will come for you." is the final thing Rose said before vanishing.

Ishtar began to listen in lightheartedly, but the conversation became more grim. Ishtar looked over and saw the look on his face. "Phobia... don't tell me what you're going to say... isn't there another way?"

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

Raguel hugs him harder. I'm sorry, so sorry... So, so, so sorry... I shouldn't have let them take you... I should have saved you sooner... Raguel rambles, the voice getting quieter and quieter.

"Raguel...there is no need to be angry with yourself...I am not angry at you anymore, now that I understand...I forgive you, Raguel. I love you," he whispered.

The body goes limp in his arms.

Only if you can somehow hit them with that. It works with opposites of the powers, so you would somehow need to forge a blade with love and war infused into it.

Some red lines that looked like circuitry briefly appeared on his body, then vanished without a trace.

Ishtar began to listen in lightheartedly, but the conversation became more grim. Ishtar looked over and saw the look on his face. "Phobia... don't tell me what you're going to say... isn't there another way?"

He sat down against a tree and looked at his right palm. The scarlet mist formed around it. Occasionally, it would form small creatures of fear around his hand. These creatures dissipated back into the mist. They left behind the quiet screams of a thousand small voices.

"I-I don't know what to do. The light and darkness will come for me. My very presence in this world is forbidden by them. Reverie was their daughter... She sacrificed herself for me. They blame me for her death, and they should."

[Ranoria]

Giftzhan walked up next to Mason and sat down.
"You're pretty good with instruments, Nephal. I'm Giftzhan, an Amarok."

[Skyline United]

Giftzhan walked up next to Mason and sat down.
"You're pretty good with instruments, Nephal. I'm Giftzhan, an Amarok."

"Thank you, but I'm not as good as my father was. Fox demons are naturally great with music, I'm half fox demon. Supposedly I can turn into a fox, but I don't think it would be best for me to try."

"Thank you, but I'm not as good as my father was. Fox demons are naturally great with music, I'm half fox demon. Supposedly I can turn into a fox, but I don't think it would be best for me to try."

The wolf nods beside him, his hulking frame abnormal for a canine, "Interesting, are there any other abilities you fox demons possess?"

[Luminesa]

"Raguel...there is no need to be angry with yourself...I am not angry at you anymore, now that I understand...I forgive you, Raguel. I love you," he whispered.

The body goes limp in his arms.

Lux stared, shocked. "...Raguel?...Raguel...what has happened?" He held him by the shoulders and looked at him. His eyes were closed, and he seemed to have possibly left, leaving Raphael's body vulnerable. "...Where did you go?" he asked, heartbroken. He had just reconciled with one of his brothers, only for him to leave him. Again. Lux just held the body close to him and cried, feeling broken all over again.

I do not ask for much...do I?

Why am I always left alone like this?

Why...

[Castle Crashers]

"Absolutely amazing." She said, giving him a little kiss on the cheek. "Now, what else is there to see in the great city of Rome?"

"Hmm. There are plenty of restaurants, historical sites, and Museums." he said as he though out loud. After a few seconds he asked, "Would you like to see the Colosseum?"

Nyx's eyes brightened at his suggestion. She'd only ever seen the structure during her night, back when all she'd do was look down and admire everything man had built. She'd never seen it in person; not up close. She hadn't seen much up close and personal.

The wolf nods beside him, his hulking frame abnormal for a canine, "Interesting, are there any other abilities you fox demons possess?"

"There is quite the array of abilities, but I would prefer not to go into detail." he replied.

Why...

I'm here... comes his voice from behind Lux.

[Ranoria]

The wolf nods beside him, his hulking frame abnormal for a canine, "Interesting, are there any other abilities you fox demons possess?"

"There is quite the array of abilities, but I would prefer not to go into detail." he replied.

He nods. "I am an Amarok myself, I hail from the North, and feed on the souls of those who dare to hunt alone in the night." His red eyes flash a bit, "Hence the rumors of giant wolves in Canada's northernmost reaches."

[Skyline United]

"Hmm. There are plenty of restaurants, historical sites, and Museums." he said as he though out loud. After a few seconds he asked, "Would you like to see the Colosseum?"

He took her hand and started to walk towards the structure. Along the way, they stopped for ice cream because Lance couldn't resist. He loves cold and sweet foods. Primarily because they're impossible to find in Hell.

He quivered, and then he turned to look for the voice. "...Where are you?" he asked, worried.

[Skyline United]

"There is quite the array of abilities, but I would prefer not to go into detail." he replied.

He nods. "I am an Amarok myself, I hail from the North, and feed on the souls of those who dare to hunt alone in the night." His red eyes flash a bit, "Hence the rumors of giant wolves in Canada's northernmost reaches."

"Oh? Well I'm not from this world. I'm from a planet near the center of this galaxy. I used to draw power from its Quasar, but I don't rely on it anymore."

[Ranoria]

He nods. "I am an Amarok myself, I hail from the North, and feed on the souls of those who dare to hunt alone in the night." His red eyes flash a bit, "Hence the rumors of giant wolves in Canada's northernmost reaches."

"Oh? Well I'm not from this world. I'm from a planet near the center of this galaxy. I used to draw power from its Quasar, but I don't rely on it anymore."

He tilts his head, "Quasar? Is that the name of the planet you hailed from?"

[Skyline United]

"Oh? Well I'm not from this world. I'm from a planet near the center of this galaxy. I used to draw power from its Quasar, but I don't rely on it anymore."

He tilts his head, "Quasar? Is that the name of the planet you hailed from?"

"No, it's the super massive black hole at the center of the Galaxy." he replied with a slight chuckle.

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

I'm here... comes his voice from behind Lux.

He quivered, and then he turned to look for the voice. "...Where are you?" he asked, worried.

He's behind him, in full ghost glory. He looks exactly like Raphael in his hay day. Right here... and...

He looks it down at himself. I am different.

[Ranoria]

He tilts his head, "Quasar? Is that the name of the planet you hailed from?"

"No, it's the super massive black hole at the center of the Galaxy." he replied with a slight chuckle.

His ears perk up, "Oh...well that's...wow." He looks up, "So where would it be up there? Do you know?"
Holy crap, I'm actually having a conversation with someone. This guy's a cool dude!

"It would light up half of the sky if you could see it."

"It would light up half of the sky if you could see it."

"That's incredible! So why don't you need it to supply you with power anymore?"

[Skyline United]

"It would light up half of the sky if you could see it."

"That's incredible! So why don't you need it to supply you with power anymore?"

"I gained a new purpose. I am considered an Angel of Protection. Believe it or not, but a few weeks ago I was shorter, weaker and not as powerful. Sure the Quasar sounds great, but it's not when a sun goddess begins to absorb its power. She almost killed me..."
