[Skyline United]

She steps onto his lap and begins to purr. Occasionally she let out a quiet giggle.

Mason looked up from his food. "I created her and Sage. Inari was created from light. Sage was created from darkness. Both of them are aspects of my personality. Call them what you wish. Minions, Children, they don't mind. Or at least Inari doesn't. Sage might..."

"Oh, so you're the 'Master', then?" Raphael asks, still petting Inari.

She continued to purr softly.

"You can say that. I never asked for her to call me that, but she does anyway."

"Oh, so you're the 'Master', then?" Raphael asks, still petting Inari.

She continued to purr softly.

"You can say that. I never asked for her to call me that, but she does anyway."

Raphael nods. "So... Art then? How'd you make her?" he asks, as he looks down at the cute fox.

A golden mist formed around his right hand. He then lifted the hand and drew a square in the air.

Inari fell asleep in his lap.

Inari fell asleep in his lap.

"Ah. That's interesting. Mind if I try something?" Raphael asks, looking down at the sleeping fox.

"Go ahead." he said curiously.

Inari was resting peacefully.

Inari was resting peacefully.

Raphael rests his hand lightly on her head, and starts gently flowing holy energy into her, adding to her light.

Her fur began to glow.

Mason continued to watch. He knew as much about Inari as Raphael did.

Raphael stops and observes if anything else happens.

"I half expect her to grow a pair of wings..." he says quietly.

Her fur returns to normal and she continues to rest.

"Why is that?" Mason asked.

Her fur returns to normal and she continues to rest.

"Why is that?" Mason asked.

"Well, she was created with light, so maybe the extra light would manifest in something... else. Something added on." Raphael says, and then does it again.

"I don't know, maybe..." Mason replied.

Her fur began to glow again. It was like she was absorbing the energy, storing it for something.

With one hand, Raphael adds energy to Inari, and with the other, he sketches and eats.

The sketch in progress

He hums something as he does so.

[Theyra]

Hamiri hugged her, unable to think of words to truly comfort her. After all, she was right. Hyperion should have come back. He was the sun god, the deity of daytime, and the light of her life. "...I don't know, Nyx...I miss him too..." she whispered, wistfully.

As she sobbed, not necessarily saying anything else, she felt Lance slip a piece of paper into her hand. She looked up with those tearful, bleary red eyes of hers to see him walking away. Then, her thoughts were dragged back into the depths of the heavy moment, her cries still racking her body. Following his words, she'd open it when she was alone. But then again, her alone time just seemed to keep dwindling the more she needed it.

Voi couldn't just stand there, waiting for Hamiri to call him to help, Voi walked over to Nyx and said in a gently tone. "I.... know how you feel and I want to help you thought this"."It is obviously hard and......" Voi sighs, if you were like me then you want time alone to come to terms with it". "But I can't watch..........." Voi then only thing that he could think of that may comfort Nyx, Voi hugged Nyx in a attempted to comfort her in any way.

[Platypus Reborn]

The Boy looked at the ground again, "Then what am I?" He asked.

"Well, do you remember having any powers or anything like shooting fireballs or....." Mair turn into her black raven form and lands on Min's shoulder. "Can turn into a raven or something that fits with being a god?


"Killing him painfully was the only way? "That's a extreme and unnecessary way to do it and did you even plan on telling him that he had family that still alive? Voi remembered what happen to Violet and it is visible what he remembered. "Well, unfortunately your the only family that he has left and maybe your nephew help you". "If he can forgive for killing him painfully".

Min was a bit taken back as Mair landed on his shoulder, "I-I don't know, I- my memories, they're slowly coming back, but they are just vague". Min said as he hugged his knees closer to his chest. "It almost physically hurts, to try and look back at distant memories". He Wipes the rest of the tears off his eyes. "Thank you so much Mair, I owe you everything", he said as he smiled and pet Mair's raven form with 2 fingers.

[Skyline United]

Mason finished eating and stood up. He decided to leave Inari with Raphael and began to walk back towards Mair and Min. As he walked a strange mist started to form behind him. The mist slowly began to create an angelic figure as it followed him. Mason could see Mair and Min in the distance. Before he could start to jog, he felt a knife being driven into his back. He stood there silently as it began to burn. Behind him, the angelic figure had fully formed. It was Reverie, embodiment of dreams and nightmares. It didn't want Mason to die. Instead it wanted to drag him to the dreamscape for punishment far worse than Hell can offer. It wanted to get revenge for the death of its friend, Phobia. The knife paralyzed Mason, he couldn't move or make a sound.

"But I can't watch..........." Voi then only thing that he could think of that may comfort Nyx, Voi hugged Nyx in a attempted to comfort her in any way.

Nyx nodded, sniffling and furiously rubbing the tears from her eyes and cheeks. "Y-yeah...I just need a moment." She said quietly, wiping a stray tear from her eye as she stood. "Thank you guys, though. I...appreciate you trying to help." She then began to walk off into the woods. She needed darkness, she needed shade. Being out in the sunlight...under his sky...it was painful. Then, as if suddenly remembering it, Nyx wiped her eyes and took out the piece of paper Lance had slipped her, opening it to read it.

It was blank. Nothing. It would seem as if it were some sort of joke, but it wasn't. Words began to appear on the paper.

Nyx, if you ever need a friend, I'm here. It pains me to see you hurting like this. You're my friend. One of the few people I consider to be a friend. Personally, I have always found the darkness to be more reliable than the light. Eventually all light dies and only darkness shall remain, forever alone. Until that fateful day comes, enjoy the company of others. If the sun refuses to return, find someone else, or at least someone who can end your pain. If you wish to speak in person, follow the darkness. ~Lance

Follow the...darkness? She was the goddess of darkness, and she still didn't understand. She wanted to talk to him, she did--he was the only one she considered an actual friend. Real friends don't kill other friends boyfriends, after all. Lance seemed to be the only one, in her mind, that was actually trying to help. In her grieving, clouded mind, everyone wanted something from her. Except for Lance. He knew her pain, he knew what she was going through...he went through it himself. But, maybe, not so much of the back-stabbed, betrayed feeling she had. But, mostly, it was just grief over the loss of Hyperion, not so much the need for revenge anymore. Tharizdun was dead, that was what mattered. So maybe, as she kept walking, she'd find him. She was the queen of darkness after all.

To the north she would feel a strong distortion. An area of darkness so strong it could almost match her own.

Nyx furrowed her brow. It was ultimately surprising for her to feel such a strong level of darkness, one as thick as her own. She didn't know who could possibly have the ability to create such darkness, and she certainly hoped it wasn't some evil god coming to kill them all as Tharizdun had tried. He'd just happened to succeed with the one person she loved. Of course. "...Lance..? Is that...you?" She asked as she approached the dark area, readying herself for battle if need be.

In the center of a clearing stood a portal. It seemed to be the source of the darkness. It gave off an eerie purple glow as clouds began to form, blocking out the sun.

What an...odd feeling. Nyx felt drawn to the portal, attracted to its intoxicating power. What was on the other side, though? Death? Heaven? A void of nothing? No matter what it seemed to be, she felt the draw to it, approaching the dark portal like a child to a candy store.

As she neared the portal everything started to fade. Once she was close enough, she would be able to sense Lance on the other side.

Ah, so there he was. She didn't really pay a thought on what might happen if she passed through, or where she might be on the other side. She saw him, her only friend, the only one she could talk to, and that was all that she needed. She walked through the portal, re-appearing behind Lance. "Hey." She said quietly.

They were in a world of never-ending darkness. The only things visible to her were Lance and a grave. He stared at it silently. Lost in thought, he didn't respond.
