Holy High - IC - Open

[Syrixces]

Regalion smiled at Mason. "But who else must do something to relieve her of her pain?" He thanked the others for the energy they gave him and now the magic circle is halfway complete. He is just waiting for Hyperion to add his strength to the spell. Let the Sun triumph against the Night. Let the Blood Moon's light counter the the darkness inside the Night.

Tet is giving every strength he had to Regalion's spell and he can feel the strain it is causing to the Lord of Magic. He watched as the runes glowed around Nyx, never letting her escape until it's completion. He was busy staring at it when a hand grasped his shoulder. "You're already tired. Let me." Tet nodded at Hades and he gave his energy too, the circle now forming faster. "Tet, provide healing to Regalion. He might pass out." Tet nodded and he rested his hand over Regalion's forehead, aglow with crystal light.

Hyperion noidded, fiery tears falling to th ground.

He held out a hand, and a stream of pure fiery energy came free, adding to the mix, making the runes take a deep orange color, as the room filed with the scent of citrus.

He stomped his foot, and lances of flame shot out, adding his own runes to the set, casting her in eternal light.

Please Nyx. Please.

[Charlia]

Mason appeared in the corner, eating an apple.

"She's not okay you fool. The darkness has control. I know what it's like. Having something beyond your control rip apart your consciousness, then locking it away. Leaving you with the ability to see. Only so that you can watch your loved ones burn by your own hand."

He smiled, "Of course, I could expel it from her. In my current state, as a being of pure light, the darkness stands no chance."

Thanatois growled, his skin growing grey, his edges growing fainter.

Mason, stay out of this before I tear your arms off, and feed them to your mother. I'm done playing your games.

He turned to Charlotte.

Which one is this? Is this you, Charlotte? Or is it you, demonling?

"It's Charlie. That's my name now." She smiled viciously.

"Mom's going to be asleep for a while... But I'll let her wake up, just for a moment, so she can see how horribly you died--at her hands."

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

Raphael is completely overwhelmed by what just happened. He looks around and seriously cannot comrehend what is going on. He finally gives up trying and just yells, "Okay! Who in this Godforsaken some needs medical attention!?"

[Syrixces]

Thanatois growled, his skin growing grey, his edges growing fainter.

"Mom's going to be asleep for a while... But I'll let her wake up, just for a moment, so she can see how horribly you died--at her hands."

Thanatos shifts into his true from, his skin growing grey and taunt, his size and shape altering.

He stands tall, his 8 foot frame muscular and athletic.

He holds up his hands, bound in cloth, chains and bone.

He drops his hand scythes.

Then strike me down. "

Then strike me down. "

"Oh, I have been looking forward to this. And just so you know... If you're thinking about trying anything... know this. If I'm injured, or if it looks like I'm about to be injured, I'll wake her up. And she'll see you trying to hurt her. And that will be all she'll remember."

She stepped forward and attacked.

She stepped forward and attacked.

Thanatos side stepped.

He tucked his left hand behind his back, using his right arm to deftly defend himself form her assault, lightly pushing away her attacks.

Thanatos side stepped.

He tucked his left hand behind his back, using his right arm to deftly defend himself form her assault, lightly pushing away her attacks.

She paused, and then smiled again.

"I will burn you."

She summoned fire to her hands and jumped on him.

She paused, and then smiled again.

"I will burn you."

She summoned fire to her hands and jumped on him.

Thanatos leapt back, arching a knee, lightly kicking her back, enough her knock her off him, not hard enough to hurt her.

I can dance all day, child. And fire means nothing to a being that has burned millions of mortals.

[Charlia]

She paused, and then smiled again.

"I will burn you."

She summoned fire to her hands and jumped on him.

Thanatos leapt back, arching a knee, lightly kicking her back, enough her knock her off him, not hard enough to hurt her.

I can dance all day, child. And fire means nothing to a being that has burned millions of mortals.

She thought for a moment.

I can't beat him with strength... but maybe with cunning...

"You know, if I don't bring back your head, I'll probably end up dying very slowly and painfully... only it won't be me, it'll be her. You don't want that, do you?"

"You know, if I don't bring back your head, I'll probably end up dying very slowly and painfully... only it won't be me, it'll be her. You don't want that, do you?"

Thanatos nodded grimly.

If that becomes the case, I will imprison myself, so that I cannot take you from life. I will bind myself in the chains of Iresage, and prevent death from taking those around myself. I will simply not perform my duties as Death.

"In which case she'll live forever in horrible pain, always wishing for death but never finding it. She will grow to hate you for what you condemned her to. She will curse your name both in tortured whispers and agonized screams. And you will have to live with knowing that you cursed her to an eternity of horror, because you loved your own life too much."

[Syrixces]

Thanatos nodded grimly.

Thanatos nodded, scowling beneath his mask of bone.

Then what shall I do, childing? I cannot die. My day has not come. I cannot live, for she will be in pain. What shall I do.

"Come with me, Death."

She smiled, leading him back to Tharizdun.

"I have brought you more than his head, master. I have brought Death himself. His misguided love for my mother made him easy to subdue... Think of the power. With Death himself at your command..."

She smiled again.

"Of course, you'll have to keep me alive, otherwise he'll have nothing keeping him under control."

And with a single stroke, she both brought down Thanatos and ensured her usefulness.

Yeah, I'm definitely the best of our family. The perfect blend.

[Italios]

"So let's not," said Valkyrie, smiling slightly. "Anyway, those stars are millions and millions of miles away. Some of them will be gone by the time we see its light here." She traced pictures in the sand.

"Unless you see the subatomic particles that move faster than the speed of light." He looked over to what she was drawing, "What is it?"

"A landscape," Valkyrie replied. "Of this. It will help me remember it if I draw it."

[Finsternia]

Regalion smiled at Mason. "But who else must do something to relieve her of her pain?" He thanked the others for the energy they gave him and now the magic circle is halfway complete. He is just waiting for Hyperion to add his strength to the spell. Let the Sun triumph against the Night. Let the Blood Moon's light counter the the darkness inside the Night.

Tet is giving every strength he had to Regalion's spell and he can feel the strain it is causing to the Lord of Magic.

Please Nyx. Please.

Regalion lowered his hand as the circle completed. "Now we must wait..." He slumped into Tet's and Hades' arms, nearly fainting. "Raphael." He called to the Archangel. "Once the sealing is done, see to it that Nyx's wounds are healed..." After he spoke those words he fainted, Tet and Hades shaking him.

"A landscape," Valkyrie replied. "Of this. It will help me remember it if I draw it."

He smiled, "You want to remember this moment?"

[Italios]

"A landscape," Valkyrie replied. "Of this. It will help me remember it if I draw it."

He smiled, "You want to remember this moment?"

Valkyrie smiled and nodded. "Yeah."

[Skyline United]

He smiled, "You want to remember this moment?"

Valkyrie smiled and nodded. "Yeah."

He relaxed and watched her draw.

[Italios]

Valkyrie smiled and nodded. "Yeah."

He relaxed and watched her draw.

"I'd add us, but I'm rotten at drawing people," Valkyrie said.

[Skyline United]

He relaxed and watched her draw.

"I'd add us, but I'm rotten at drawing people," Valkyrie said.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you're happy with it, I'll be happy with it."

[Italios]

"I'd add us, but I'm rotten at drawing people," Valkyrie said.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you're happy with it, I'll be happy with it."

"Awww. You're being so sappy, Seth," said Valkyrie, grinning.

[Skyline United]

"It doesn't matter. As long as you're happy with it, I'll be happy with it."

"Awww. You're being so sappy, Seth," said Valkyrie, grinning.

He laughed, "I guess I am, for a God of Chaos."

[Italios]

"Awww. You're being so sappy, Seth," said Valkyrie, grinning.

He laughed, "I guess I am, for a God of Chaos."

She shook her head, laughing too. "I thought you'd be all grumpy when you introduced yourself."

[Skyline United]

He laughed, "I guess I am, for a God of Chaos."

She shook her head, laughing too. "I thought you'd be all grumpy when you introduced yourself."

"I'm a nice guy. I just manipulate others into causing chaos."

[Italios]

She shook her head, laughing too. "I thought you'd be all grumpy when you introduced yourself."

"I'm a nice guy. I just manipulate others into causing chaos."

"I mean, if you can call that nice," said Valkyrie jokingly.
