Holy High - IC - Open

[Luminesa]

He was wise to that trick. "Raphael, what's going on..." He sat up, cross-legged, and put a palm over his face, as the dream came back to him. The danger is real, now...

The frying pan Raphael was about to whack Xavier with somehow disappears. As in, it suddenly appears in Hamiri's hands. "Well, you were having a bad dream. I was just about to pray for a good one for you!" he says with a smile.

Xavier saw it, and he laughed. However, a moment later, he pulled Raphael into a hug. He held him there for a long time, closing his eyes and just laying his head on his shoulder. One more day...but what will tomorrow bring?...

"Xavier..." Raphael mutters into his ear, "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"Xavier..." Raphael mutters into his ear, "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"...Raphael..." he whispered, "I don't know...what is going to happen tomorrow...but today, please...when we fight Apophis...please, fight alongside me...just once..."

"...Raphael..." he whispered, "I don't know...what is going to happen tomorrow...but today, please...when we fight Apophis...please, fight alongside me...just once..."

Raphael pulls back from his brother. He looks at him, then glances at Hamiri. "Xavier... You know I... Don't like fighting..." he mumbles to his brother, but... Seems uncertain.

He stared him straight in the eyes, "I want to know that if something happens to me you will be able to stand-up for yourself and take the lead," he ordered.

Raphael blinks. "Take the lead...?" he repeats, baffled.

[The Dystopian Isles of Frisct]

Delorian stood up and saw Meire incinerate the leaf. He approached him.

"Is something wrong Meire?"

[Luminesa]

He stared him straight in the eyes, "I want to know that if something happens to me you will be able to stand-up for yourself and take the lead," he ordered.

Raphael blinks. "Take the lead...?" he repeats, baffled.

Xavier nodded. "I don't know what's happening...but can you promise this? Can you promise...this time...you won't run away?" he pleaded, gravely.

Raphael blinks. "Take the lead...?" he repeats, baffled.

Xavier nodded. "I don't know what's happening...but can you promise this? Can you promise...this time...you won't run away?" he pleaded, gravely.

"... When have I ever left you?" Raphael says, smiling at his brother with a hand in his shoulder.

[Luminesa]

Xavier nodded. "I don't know what's happening...but can you promise this? Can you promise...this time...you won't run away?" he pleaded, gravely.

"... When have I ever left you?" Raphael says, smiling at his brother with a hand in his shoulder.

"Not from me. From the fight," he answered, smiling lovingly, "No matter what happens to me, I want you to know that I love you, and I'd never run from you. As long as you remember that, if something happens to me, I want you to fight on my behalf. Please."

Raphael takes a breath in, and then takes Xavier's hand. "Iuro meo laudis ac virtutis inflammandos angelum manere apud vos est. Quod si cecideret pater absit et tolle grabattum tuum et tereti pugnant mucrone teli mille furorsiso, imo mille homines et angelos." he swears.

I swear, on my honor and virtue as an angel, to stay by you side. And should you fall, Father forbid, I shall take up your weapon and fight with the fiercness of a thousand, nay, a million men and angels.

Hamiri watched, awestruck, at the ritual, but also deeply scared for the future. "What is happening...why is Xavier..."

Patriah stood and said nothing. He felt an intense fear from both Angels, and a sort of grim knowingness from Xavier. He was very much aware of what his fate might be, but he was not telling anyone. It was too terrible, and he wanted to bear the burden on his own. "Raphael wouldn't know how to stop it...I should have known...I should have known..." he heard Xavier thinking...

Raphael gets to his feet and offers a hand to Xavier. "Numquid faciem eius accipitis voti fratre?" he asks.

Do you accept my vow, beloved brother?

He took his hand and nodded. "Thank you, Raph," he told him, gratefully.

Raphael smiles. "I'm not fighting anything till you're unconscious though." he says, smiling.

He took his hand and nodded. "Thank you, Raph," he told him, gratefully.

Raphael smiles. "I'm not fighting anything till you're unconscious though." he says, smiling.

He nodded, understanding. "Just be ready..." he reminded him.

You're going to need it... The shadow spoke from inside Xavier.

"You got it!" Raphael exclaims... And his eyes, which have been gray since the First War, regain a slight golden tinge.

Genbu knocks into Hamiri's legs.

She turned and looked down at the turtle. "What's the matter?" she asked him, picking him up.

OOC: Have you been writing in-between classes?

Genbu looks at her with cute eyes, then looks at Raphael. Hamiri can sense that he's asking how last night went... AS IN THE DATE! NOT THAT WAY!

Raphael frowns and looks Xavier. "Oh, uhm, anything you wanna tell me about that dream?"

OOC: Nope, on a trip to New Jersey...

[Castle Crashers]

For a moment, Nyx almost looks as if she'll collapse into sobs again before she swallows the feeling down. She rubs her eyes with the back of her hand, sniffling a bit. Her face falters again, and it's becoming obvious she's really trying not to cry aloud. Instead, it comes out as a drawn out whimper almost as she pushes the tears down again. "I just..." She took a moment, trying to rid herself of the lump in her throat. "I guess I just never expected it to be with him." Her face finally crumpled, the tears escaping her eyes once again. "Or at least it'd be me instead..." She sobbed, burying her face into her hands, the broken flower resting dully in her lap. As she cried, the rose only seemed to dim, as if it were sad that she was.

A glowing orb appeared next to Lance. "You are needed in sector Z-394, my lord."
Lance looked at it and mouthed, "Not the best time, leave."
The orb did as commanded and vanished. Lance reached out and placed a hand on Nyx's shoulder, "Don't hold in your emotions like me. It's not healthy. Let them out."

Nyx continued to sob, pressing her face gently into his shoulder as she cried. It wasn't an act of love, an act of romance but simply...grief. Loneliness. It felt too...unreal. Like this should all just be a nightmare and she'd wake up in Hyperion's arms, where she'd been only half an hour ago. To think, she'd been talking to him merely an hour ago. It just seemed so...far-fetched. She should be dead, not him. He didn't deserve to die, he never did. She'd done so many horrible things, she was the one that deserved death. And yet...he was gone. She was alone. All alone, her heart a hollow case, her eyes two dull emotionless discs. She didn't know if she could ever be alright, and she didn't think she could ever forgive Ryu. She could barely even breathe, barely focus.
She could only think of how she would never be able to live without him.

He seemed uncomfortable with her crying into his shoulder, but he eventually relaxed and started to pat her back. "Loneliness hurts. I reacted the same as you when my love died." He said weakly as back tears started to run down his cheeks. Although tears ran down his face, he showed no signs of sadness.

Voi was still resting when he started to feel more sadness coming from Nyx's shallow box. That feeling, Voi thought to himself, just like.... Voi, looks down in sadness at his hand. And Voi started to talk quietly to himself. Why Ionia? Why didn't you listen to me? You.... could still be here and. A single tear falls from Voi face. Why?

[The Dystopian Isles of Frisct]

Delorian looks around at the people grieving over Hyperion

"We can greive for now, but we have to finish our task eventually, or Hyperion will have died for a cause we threw away."

[Luminesa]

She turned and looked down at the turtle. "What's the matter?" she asked him, picking him up.

Raphael frowns and looks Xavier. "Oh, uhm, anything you wanna tell me about that dream?"

OOC: Nope, on a trip to New Jersey...

She blushed, and bopped Genbu on the nose. "Inappropriate! Bad turtle," she scolded him, playfully.

Xavier grinned at them, but then he turned to Raphael. "No...no, it's...nothing noteworthy...just general creepiness..." he replied.

Patriah knew he was hiding something. He had felt it when he heard that disembodied voice. And he felt it now, as he spoke and told Raphael it was nothing. A powerful shiver went up and down his spine, as he felt that darkness watching them...through Xavier.

Genbu gets serious. He wishes to know whether or not his master has 'game', and tries his best to convey this to Hamiri through head bobs and snaps.

"So..."Raphael asks quietly, "Who looked like you?"
