The Prince of the Unseelie Court steps out of his dormitory, wondering where he should go. In the light of the odd happenings of tonight, he thought that perhaps he should walk around and go find the kitchens to inquire about the appearance of food in his dorm room. The Nightmare God does not need to eat physical food for sustenance, and perhaps he could ask if they'd serve... more exotic and arcane items for their weirder students. Surely they should be prepared for a being such as himself that thrives on the hopes and despairs that harbor within the dreams of those who visit the land of sleep?
To such extent it is simply polite to come and notify them of his preferred diets as while the Tuatha De are the paragons of bounty and plenty it is simply quite remorseful to be excessive. Flowers bloom at his feet and twisted vines and stems crawl to follow him as brambles sprout in the wake of Lanuru. The night is peaceful, so silent and so pure, with nothing but crickets and the calls of nighttime birds and animals to hear. The night is a refuge for many. It is primarily a refuge for the tired and the weary, a time for rest and sleep, but it is also a sanctum for the terrors of the dark. One such terror rears its head, the sweet aroma of fear beckoning the Dark Prince.
Delicious cries echo in a world that only the Dark God could see and hear, the splatterings of blood and the gurgling screams of pain something that only he could taste. The clinking of chains, heavy and cold and biting to the skin, sound absolutely thrilling to his ears like the most magnificent orchestra squeezed out of a dying musician. Images of pain, despair, anger, and howlings for vengeance make him salivate... and the God reaches out with a cruel hand.
A small sphere of roiling black-purple smoke materializes in his armored hand, on its turbulent surface flash multitudes of terrible memories of the being that dreamed them. "Sweet... delicious... morsel... Perhaps I could ease you of your suffering... This most succulent offering of your pain and despairs... for a night of silence..." The Prince's jaw unhinges in a terrifying manner, skin tearing as a maw full of needle-like teeth and a long tongue full of spines. Like a whip, it latches onto the horrible nightmare in Lanuru's hand and it drags it down into the abyss of teeth and shadow.
It tastes vile, like broken bones and shattered hopes, and it was the most scrumptuous nightmare he has had for a long, long time. A pleased sigh escapes his broken face, and his perfect and handsome visage is restored as he takes a moment to savor the flavor's of Astrid's despair. Such fears are deep rooted, and would take a long time to dispel, and are most certainly a delicious feast. Such dreams are but a bountiful garden full of ripe fruits to be picked... and how could Lanuru resist, when he could offer momentary peace in exchange for such treats?
The moment that the God of Nightmares devoured her dream, Astrid feels like the shades that haunt every shadowed corner of her vision, every painful recollection, every throbbing scar and wound, are gone. For once, in the many long years of her torment, she is in peace with no terrors to disturb her. A knock comes from the front door, and the perpetrator seems to be patient enough to wait at the doors. If the Goddess of the Hunt would come and see, she would find the towering form of Lanuru standing at the boundary. He is framed by crawling thorny vines that bloom with glowing flowers, and the ever present, ever pulsing dark halo behind him yawns eternally into an infinite night. His dignified voice reaches her as he addresses her. "...Greetings, young lady. I have heard the commotion and have come for such... curiosities." He says as his eyes dart towards the damage sustained by the shared dormitory. "...I am the God of Dreams... and I have sensed that you were... suffering. I could help you ease the pain for a simple price. Will you let me in your place of rest, to talk about this agreement?"
Vadha Vismarana - Blood on the Wind
As the God of Destruction twists his body here and there to pop off joints and loosen up muscle, his eyes are trained towards the newcommer. Vadha may lack in many areas of expertise and knowledge, but he knows a warrior when he sees one. Each and every being and entity carries themselves appropriately in regards to their self. Blood will forever leave a mark on a person, no matter how much they wash their hands. Sorcerers and magicians emit an aura of miraculous power in their every action, and those versed in the art of war show a certain grace in their step.
No matter how much of a chilled out atmosphere Patriah shows off, judging his gait and posture lies training that has been beaten bloody into his skull. Neverminding the massive greatsword in his hands, the way Vadha noticed him watch his movements is the way of a seasoned warrior looking for vulnerabilities in an opponent's actions. His chosen weapon speaks for a preference for explosive power, but the Blood God could not rule out the possibility that the other is a swift fighter.
With an aggressive wave of his hand, Vadha conjures a stream of red liquid before him that solidifies into a ruby spear as he grasps it. He takes it for a spin, becoming a red blur as he maneuvers the weapon in his hands all around his body. He points it to his newfound partner, its point gleaming in the shine of the overhead lights. "Seems like that scarf's important to you. I'll take care not to tear it when I'm done ripping you in half. On guard!" There was a flash of a bloodcrazed grin upon the Godling's face before he rushes Patriah with an upward's swing, and the ringing sound of steel against steel echoes out as Vadha aims for a disarming move on the Wind God's sword.

Patriah - The Wind Screams
Patriah whirled his sword in his hands for a few more moments, waiting for his opponent to take the first step forward. His arm swung casually, as if the sword in his hands did not weigh at least fifty pounds solely from the hilt's weight alone. He admired that Vadha seemed to have the same mindset of scanning an opponent before moving toward them. Yet he understood why he was taking his time. Battle was one time when two warriors felt that they truly belonged. There were no books, no pens, and the only rules were that they certainly should do their best to avoid killing each other and/or harming the honor of the other. Even so, they both knew they might cause quite a lot of damage to the gym.
"You'll have to do more than cut me in half to get me to lose, buddy."
Vadha summoning blood, admittedly, was a pretty sight. The deep-red blur smelled overwhelming, even for someone used to the smell. Yet even as heady as it was, Patriah made sure to not let anything get in the way of seeing his opponent. He met the other god's grin with one of his own, and he pushed himself forward. While the other god rushed to swipe his sword out of his hands, the Wind God swung his body low into a crouch in the same motion as his sword. When the arch finished, with most of his arm's weight going into finishing the sword rather than struggling to move the enormous blade, an immense shearing gust burst from the blade and launched at the other god.
"HAVE FUN WHEN YOUR EARS POP LIKE CORN AND YOU BLEED YOUR OWN BLOOD!"
Iron in the wind not only swung away the overwhelming scent of blood, but now that scent found itself replaced by ozone, the calling card of thunder and lightning. A storm was brewing, with Vadha right in the epicenter of the system. As soon as the gust landed across the god's chest, Patriah made sure to pull his body upright in order to spin around and to swing over his shoulder. He would not meet Vadha where he was slashing, but rather where he wanted to move on his own. This dance would be his, and the god of blood and murder would have to follow him as he led.

Vadha Vismarana - A Mad Dance Amidst Thunder and Lightning
Patriah's strength is not something to be trifled with. It is difficult to discern if the great gusts of wind are from the Wind God's own power or if it was born from the sheer wind pressure made by his sword as it sails through the air. The winds bite, as sharp as any blade forged by mythical hands, and lacerations start gracing his divine form. Ruby red streaks fly amidst the gusts of the typhoon, and as they turn into bloody mists a hunger cruel and horrible awakens within Vadha's eyes.
As Patriah goes for a wind blast and a goading posture, the disarming strike of Vadha's spear swings upwards with no sword to parry and disengage. However, in its elevated position it immediately changes into a forward jab aimed towards his shoulder. As the winds batter the God of Destruction, wounding him wherever his skin is open and vulnerable, his strikes become more frenzied and swift. It was a berserker's way of fighting, to trade limb for limb, wound for wound, with no regrets nor remorse
The scent of blood hangs heavy in the air, and the blood mist blankets the God of Murder with a cape of glorious gore as he laughs uproariously. "MORE! MORE! MORE!" Vadha shouts at his opponent, making wide and aggressive swings towards Patriah. He is wide open for any strikes that Patriah wishes to do, but the bloodied God would retaliate with equal or greater ferocity.

Luminesa wrote:Patriah - Get Some
Bloodlust was just below the skin for both young gods. Patriah smelled it, Vadha smelled it, and the sharks were loose in the open water. They both wore the cruel grins of warriors who were ready to cut again. To bleed again. They almost seemed to forget they were just training, and dove into the fight.
Patriah let Vadha falter over his spear, and followed him as he aimed to strike again. The frenzied attacks became swifter, sometimes becoming less accurate as a result. They both simply wanted to land hits. The spear struck Patriah in the shoulder and in the side, and as he started to bleed, he snickered in return. “Oh…okay, this is not going to be so tough of a fight. But I think it’s time we had some SPACE!”
Another strong slash, this time to throw Vadha into the nearest well. The collision would slam the wall, threatening to shatter it if it was a weaker structure. The new student standing not too far away would have felt the ground below him groaning and rumbling in shock at the sudden THUD into the wall. All the whole, Patriah swung his sword and rose back into a defensive stance, expecting an attack in return. Shoulders blocked his torso, sword twirled and spun like candy until it was up near his ear. A low strike was in order once Vadha managed another attack.
Space, and protecting that space, was key to ruling the fight.
All the while, Hyperion had entered the gym, looking for Killara. When she did not show, he looked a little saddened. She was a sweet young student, if not a little unstable. Yet instability was almost a norm in his own family. He could hardly judge. He looked toward Lykofos, and he nodded to the new student. “I imagine you’re enjoying your first few days or so, huh?” He pulled a flask from his pocket, and chugged it. Only a few seconds later did he puke the drink on the floor, both from the blast of Patriah’s attack and from the fact that his drink was hardly considered imbibable by any good sense of the concept.
“Okay, so…kid? Lyokofos? Uh…” He burped as he tried to scoot away the vomit with his shoe. “Don’t mix…lemonade…Bud Light…and whiskey…to try and make Bud Light better. It’s like dating for good girls and one bad girl. You will always taste the Bud Light. Now uh…” He found a water bottle with a very-much-not-water liquid inside, and chugged that down instead. “Yeah. It’s Hyperion. Nice to meet you, kid?”

Lykofos watches as Hyperion entered the gym, acknowledging his nod with a wave. “It’s been an eventful few days you could say.” He watched as Hyperion drained his flask before promptly emptying it on the floor. Lykofos was initially caught a little off guard. Those who he had witnessed drink in such a manner could usually hold it down, but the chaotic environment around them and Hyperion’s acclaimed concoction of whiskey and Bud Light made it make quite a bit more sense.
“Your rate of consumption is….impressive.” He would say to the teacher. While continuing to watch the duel before him, he would respond to Hyperion. “It’s nice to meet you as well. It took quite a long time for me to find the campus but, I eventually managed to make my way here in the end.” As Patriah and Vadha’s battle continued to get more and more intense, Lykofos would ask Hyperion out of concern; “Say….does the gym get repaired every single time it gets destroyed like this? I imagine it can be quite annoying if this is a regular occurrence?”

Luminesa wrote:Hyperion - Duel of Liquors
“Kid, I once drank so much that Odin threw me out of Valhalla…Though that might have also been because I made a pass at Freya.” He frowned and thought about it before he took another swig of his concoction. “You know, that really wasn’t a Pax violation, but it would almost be funny if it was. Man, that’s how the Trojan War started was talking to a woman. You know what would have avoided the whole shebang?”
He looked down at Lyokofos as if he was waiting for an answer. Instead of waiting, however, he decided to simply give a response. “He should have had Dionysus come and give them all alcohol. That way they get drunk and fight each other, and Paris woulda got out scot-free. Then they’d all go get emotional and watch a play or something. Or a movie. Rom-coms was the best thing ever invented. You wanna keep a girl from getting emotional at you? Put on Harry Met Sally and she’ll be crying over that. Might even punch a pillow. Well…it worked that one time anyway.”
Without clarifying anything, he smirked down at the new student. “As for the gym uhhhhh it’s in the budget. Ganesha knows how to handle that. He won’t let me near the money, but I’m sure we’ve got enough. It’s like a shounen anime, or an episode of Friends. All the violence or drama and no lasting consequences!” He did manage to put the flask away, however, as he burped again and felt his head swirl.
“If you wanna do some training of your own, kid, this building’s big enough for the both of us. And those two boys over there. If you wanna see how your skills are looking, I think I can focus enough. Before the whiskey kicks in.” His smirk was casual, but self-assured. A low-drama student who wanted to train would at least take his mind off…anything else.

Lethargic from just waking up, Abaguabana groggily wiped his hand from his forehead, slowly down his face and nose, to his chin, and groaned like a dying whale. He was not a morning person, and that's on his best days. Màrohu took over the nights, giving Abaguabana time to rest and relax from his (although loved) tiresome duties as the ocean's custodian. He was more of a night owl, and this groggy awakening wasn't exactly helped by the SUDDEN and LOUD blaring of thr intercom, which nearly startled him out of bed alone. His thoughts were that of annoyance and frustration;
Three days in, and I'm already being called by Hyperion.
Abaguabana could only sign in some anxious anticipation of what was to come. If he somehow got into trouble with the resident pantheon's administration, he shuddered to think how he would have his skin tanned by the great Yùcahu, or let alone his own mother. Though they share many differences, Guabancex's wrath would be terrible had she known of Abaguabana angering other deities. At the very least...
...-Abaguabana's train of thought was immediately stopped at the smell of food and the barely-recognizable words of Patriah as he rose from his bed like some zombie. He was shirtless, his tattoos glowing with spiritual power; he was more comfortable sleeping like that, it was the custom for the people who worshipped him after all, and he always hung his clothes neatly nearby.
"...Mhmmmm? W-what?"
It took a few seconds for the words to register, as Abaguabana beheld the food in front of him. "You...you're more of a morning person than I am, apparently. Just water please. Thank you."
Abaguabana rubbed his head, groaning. "Remind me to pay you pack later. Do you know what time it is, and why the intercom is...yelling at me?"

It could feel the remnants of what it once was. A vessel, for warm nourishment. It then turned its attention to The severed hand of Night. A gift in jest, a debt unpaid, a friend newmade(Shadows danced so elegantly alongside the Twilight, and many things hid in the border between light and dark. The tentative bond it possessed with the Fae Prince was nigh-instinctive(really, a bond? I thought we were better than this. You will always face the night alone.)) The threads of magic it had sampled from Athena's class spiraled within it, fragments of respective domains twining and unraveling, dancing in a mockery of creation as it had pondered the implications of the knowledge it had stolen from each thread. The hand in particular-the agency of Divinity, the Hand, combined as one. It was useless now, bound to the young Fae Prince, but maybe...
Come now, let us commence the experiment.
It began to slowly open its star-filled maw, a thousand-thousand eyes glaring at the Hand as layer after layer of reality was pulled from it. Ties to the Fae, Ties to Dusk, all torn away by the withering causticity of the Hidden God's true form, unreality spilling forth as the God Hand was reduced to its base components: Divinity, and the agency of Hand(maker, destroyer, protector, feeder and strangler. All spilled forth and entwined, creating a Hand with the agency of a God, bound to Its will. The maw of irreality closed, the universe warily settling back on its cracked foundations as the Un-Hand writhed. Turning its attention inward, The Beast extruded an appendage, coiling threads of power from its lesson(Order of Athena, Destruction of Aemilia, twined together in a garrotte, cinching shut around its limb, un-blood leaking into the fabric of space.)
And it tore.
And it screamed.
A horrible, grating un-sound that reverberated as the rustling wind, the screeching owl, the snap of burning firewood. Pain. For the first time, The Hidden God knew Pain.
And accepted it.
The Un-Hand was bound, cauterized to the stump of its shattered appendage, wrapped in a thin gauze of another Threat(Healing of Althea, the Life that had existed on Athena's little world.)
As the Pain cleared from Its vision, it beheld its new appendage, experimentally flexing the withered organism, feeling the unbound agency of Divinity course through it.
This would do.
The Thing vaguely perceived the call to the office of the Solar Titan. It obliged, slithering-crawling-skittering-walking-floating down the halls to Hyperion's office. The doors to Hyperion's office would wearily creek open, the Imperceptible One, wounded, vaguely dripping caustic godsblood through a witchfire bandage upon a surprisingly concrete limb slowly entering the room and settling in a corner. watching.
