Holy High - IC - Open

[Luminesa]

:bow:

He walked toward him, smiling slightly. "You do not have to hide anything from me, now...we are brothers, are we not?" he asked, innocently. He looked up at the sky himself, awestruck.

To think God would let...me...put those stars in the sky... he thought.

We are... And because of that, nothing is wrong. Raguel whispers.

Lux smiled. "Alright...let us go back and join the others, then..." he replied. With that, he headed back toward the opening, where the others were.

Lux smiled. "Alright...let us go back and join the others, then..." he replied. With that, he headed back toward the opening, where the others were.

Raguel looks at Raphael's body.

Raguel looks at Raphael's body.

Lux carried it back to the camp, keeping it warm with his wings.

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

Raguel looks at Raphael's body.

Lux carried it back to the camp, keeping it warm with his wings.

The body is doing something weird.

It stays dead, lifeless, but starts shifting back to what it looked like when it was alive. It seems to start healing itself.

[Charlia]

"It certainly feels impossible. But if you want to inform me on how to get back..." He leaned back against a tree, crossing his arms behind his head.

"By all means, inform away."

She thought for a moment, putting a finger to her lip as she thought. "...I dunno if I can give you a straightforward answer...but I think a good way to start, maybe...is to start by using your powers for good...getting a feel for what it means to do the right thing. That's a good way to start working your way back," she suggested.

"Do define 'good', please. People often categorize me as 'evil' and my brothers as 'good'. It seems to be subjective."

This is confusing as all Hel.

"Hmmmm...well, your brothers' behavior obviously wasn't 'good'...Brothers are supposed to love each other, anyway...Goodness leads one to virtue. Honor, loyalty, trust, patience, friendship, love...those things. Evil leads to vices...greed, hate, pride, lust, wrath...those things," she explained.

Lux carried it back to the camp, keeping it warm with his wings.

Realizing what was happening, he stared down at it, surprised. "...Is the body...how is it healing itself?" he muttered.

"I'm the god of lies, Hamiri. Honor, loyalty, and trust aren't exactly things I'm used to."

As for patience, friendship, and love...

Well, they'll be hard, but I suppose I could try.

"Doesn't mean you can't give it a try," she persisted.

Come on, Michael. Where are you?

It's time for you to die. For good.

[Castle Crashers]

Nyx viewed the buildings in a state of awe, seeing them for the first time in the dazzling sunlight. She could see these great places, these pieces of art, honestly and truly now. She could see them in their full-blown beauty without guesstimating what it looked like in the dark. "These places look much prettier than when I first saw them...if that's even possible..." She said, thinking aloud, absently licking her ice cream.

The structure of the colosseum slowly grew larger as they approached it. Lance glanced to empty areas as if someone was there. Since he was a keeper if souls, he saw the dead. From his perspective he saw the ghastly shades moving around. All of them were completely oblivious to the living and to the fact that they were dead. He quickly jumped to the side to avoid a peasant's soul.

Nyx looked over as he jumped, confused and slightly worried. She looked past him, to the empty spot he'd jumped away from, and back to him. She wasn't sure what it was, but she knew it probably had to do with his position in Hell. She gently took his hand, casting him a reassuring look.

[Ranoria]

"Oh...well that's...kind of scary. How'd she get out of that? Did you just let her escape or..."
OOC: YAHS!!! Two IC posts in the morning! New record

He nodded. "My brother broke me out of my possession and he and the group saved her," he answered.

He stands, up stretching, "So...Ryujin tries to kill people, Amaterasu almost killed Mason while possessed...sounds like a pretty crappy pair of people." He changes back to his human form, scythe still sling across his back, "They didn't seem all that bad though...I guess we were in the middle of a battle though."
Ryujin, meanwhile, is sleeping outsid in the woods in his dragon form, and not infantile, to try and heal his wounds a bit.

He gently gripped her hand and continued walking. After a few minutes they finally arived at the massive structure. Lance could hear the shouting of souls attending an ongoing show from beyond the grave, but he did his best to ignore it and focus on the living. He looked at the massive arcs incorporated into the design with an amazed look on his face. The structure was truly magnificent.

Nyx watched the colosseum with a look of undeniable amazement. The place, though it had been long run-down and eroded, was still full of undeniable beauty, just like the city it resided in. She could almost see all the gladiator fights and contests that took place in this single building, and she could almost hear the hundreds of people cheering from the sidelines.

A dark portal opened in front of them and he walked towards it before turning back to her. "Follow me. I think we need a better view."

[The Dystopian Isles of Frisct]

Sphero was still slightly edgy around people. He had only every been around Frisct, his creator, so he didnt quite know how to talk to the new people around him.
Considering he was supposed to be an AI, this was highly illogical to his subroutine, and he twitched slightly. the twitching went away after a while, so he decided to go over to someone that Frisct had known before he had become that thing.

He floated over to Patriah and materialized his body next to him.

Are you Patriah?

He jumped, seeing him. "What the...how on earth did you get here?!"

Sphero looked around the area, calculating what he could have done to get here.

I floated over here? It's quite faster than walking. So, are you Patriah?

A dark portal opened in front of them and he walked towards it before turning back to her. "Follow me. I think we need a better view."

Nyx nodded, following along after him. "Alright." Though, how could you get a better view of the manmade structure? She wondered what he had in mind for what a better view could be.

They would come out within the center of the colosseum. Lance would see the souls of animals and men being forever tortured in front of an undying audience. He still chose to ignore it, knowing that there is nothing that he could do to help.

Nyx looked around them, a smile forming on her face. It was such a hauntingly beautiful sight. So much history, all in this one area...all the while being attractive. Even if it was ancient, even if it was eroded and broken, she could still see its eternal beauty. Much like space, much like her night.

[Luminesa]

He jumped, seeing him. "What the...how on earth did you get here?!"

Sphero looked around the area, calculating what he could have done to get here.

He nodded and growled, "What's it to ya?"

[Ranoria]

Giftzhan scratched his chin next to Mason. "So...has Ryujin actually attacked or hurt anyone here? Or Amaterasu, for that matter. From what you're saying they sound like assholes.

Yup. He's gullible alright.

Giftzhan scratched his chin next to Mason. "So...has Ryujin actually attacked or hurt anyone here? Or Amaterasu, for that matter. From what you're saying they sound like assholes.

Yup. He's gullible alright.

Xavier nodded. "He's let his temper get to him more than once...he's learning to control it now, though," he replied.

Xavier nodded. "He's let his temper get to him more than once...he's learning to control it now, though," he replied.

He blinked, "Wait...who..?" When he realizes he hasn't seen anyone who's injured, he gulps, "Did he...kill them?"
Ryujin half opens one eye in the woods, then crawls into a lake and falls back asleep.

[Luminesa]

Xavier nodded. "He's let his temper get to him more than once...he's learning to control it now, though," he replied.

As he said this, Lux returned to the group, with Raphael's reformed body in his arms and Inari walking behind him. Raguel was still in the woods behind them, contemplating on something alone. When Lux saw the others, he paused and looked around, feeling extremely bashful for some reason. Perhaps it was because he knew now he was Uriel, that all the stars were following him as he walked, and that this was both sweet and slightly perplexing.

"...I have returned...?" he said, as more new stars twinkled into being above him.

Upon seeing Zhan, Inari became scared and instantly hid behind him. He looked down behind him.

[The Dystopian Isles of Frisct]

Sphero looked around the area, calculating what he could have done to get here.

He nodded and growled, "What's it to ya?"

His body transformed into Frisct's.

You knew my creator. He loaded me with a bunch of information about the people here. I did not receive images, only words, so I have to find out who's who here.
