Two trillion credits (IC, MilkyWay Closed)

[Kreanoltha]

Nebuchadnezzar

This was wrong. Nebuk couldn't be trapped. Alathas' mind was powerful, but it wasn't big enough to fit two minds this powerful. The stress was causing a massive headache as her neurons demanded more blood to keep processing everything. The trap, a RMCID genetic construct she'd inherited from her father, was supposed to be an integral part of her mind, but she didn't even know it existed, and, after the mental defense training, it had created its own subroutine to operate itself so that that couldn't happen again. She was noticing it now though. An ever thickening web was being constructed over the AI trying to find its way out. It would compress the AI and then eject it from her mind to die in the air without anything to attach itself to. Alathas forced a hole into the web. Run! NOW!!! was all she could say to him.

"Of course," she said. "You could also go check on the shelves for some other items. Things not important enough to have tailored. Socks, caps, garments like that."

[The Orson Empire]

(First post here, so forgive me if my information is wrong)
Unknown Planet
On an unknown planet somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy, Don Redosia would be meeting his boss. He was a hired assassin, and very good at his job. Ever since the Empire took over, he had made a living from it. He stayed out of the politics of the universe and lived a simple life. He had obtained over 10,000 credits from his mission. But this one was big, and he would be payed one million for it. He would be assassinating a large criminal lord named Daxx Higgins. He met with his boss, Arkenson.

His small ship touched down on the landing pad, and he went inside the mansion ad hover cars floated about.

Don said,"I have received your transmission. I am ready for this job."

Arkenson replied from his desk,"Good. This will be your last job from me. i will pay you one million for it. You will need a lot of weapons."

Don answered,"I have all I need, Ark. Just give me the coordinates."

Arkenson handed him a datapad. "Your information is all on this. Do not let him escape, or you get nothing. Deal?"

Don shook his hand and left the room.

Izon took another bite. He waited until it was down to speak.
"I do not recall asking for the help of the Ta'Nar, although I'm not dumb enough not accept it. I'm not sure what Chaos has told you but I know for damn sure that it was an outright lie. Tanas has upset the balance of things. He has ended trillions of lives in the first year of his conquest alone. Everyone who joins my Alliance has a reason. Most Common is revenge for the pain and oppression he has put upon this microcluster. And now he released Chaos from within my body. That just made it worse. The Council of 12 is involved. And now you sit before me speaking to me as of I haven't seen horror and war or experienced pain and suffering. Are you happy with your explanation. " he replied.

He stopped talking before he let his anger get the better of him. He looked out the window and noticed that the ship had dropped out of it's wormhole. The Renegade Alliance 1st Fleet was assembling outside of the Wraith system of Vetega. Vetega Prime was today's target.

Immortal Realm

"Marcus banished her because she disobeyed his direct orders. The Vexil Horde was bearing down on her home galaxy outside this cluster. She was told to not get involved in mortal affairs. She ignored him and made several hundred stars go supernova. There were minimal casualties on her side. The entire Vexil Incursion Fleet was annihilated. "

He noticed a warship exiting the atmosphere.
"The deliberations took nearly 850 years. Finally, Marcus vetoed the rest of the Council and banished her. She disappeared beyond the far edge of these very plains a day later. No one has seen her since. Although, I'm starting to think Vex may have seen her. He disappears for years at a time without having left the Realm." he replied.


City

The immortal, named Archon, turned to Aganotorus.

"The engineering sector is beyond the Tower. It's the tallest structure, and you can see an Aurora from the Time Vortex. They're probably busy working on something for Marcus. You see that thing over there? " he pointed towards a dark object rising over the horizon.

"That's some incredibly secret ship. Looks like a worldship to me, but its barely the size of Earth's moon." he added.

Void

Chaos was surprised at the question.

"My purpose? My purpose is to create Chaos when there is none. To bring about the inevitable end of great civilizations and beings of power. To destabilize order. When the Ta'Nar aren't around, I become the great flood that destroys life to make way for something new to flourish. After eons of searching I found that answer by looking into myself as a person. That was the day I became Chaos. I wasn't always this way you know. " he responded quietly.
His eyes became a pale, icy grey.

13 million years ago

Varios, as he was now called stood on the balcony of the Tower. He had lived there with Kagura for nearly half a million years now. However, he had begun to grow restless. As he watched the Multiverse grow, he found no calling. For there was none for him. His knowledge was greater than most beings of power, except the Ta'Nar and the Architects. Because he didn't have a realm to watch over, he wasn't accepted into the Council like Kagura and he had found her.

He looked at the sprawling city and frowned as a realization dawned upon him. The Multiverse had experienced a billion years of peace for the most part. Order had total control. There was one sphere of influence left untouched by the other gods. The Shadowrealm. He opened his mind to it and it filled his mind with knowledge obtained from every dark corner of the Multiverse. Time meant nothing to him. Fate fell before him. And Death became obsolete. His head burned. He screamed in agony as he fell to the floor. The sky over the realm became covered in black clouds. His body glowed with red and black energy.

Kagura, Vex, Marcus and the other Council members rushed into the room.

"Varios! " she gasped in fear.
"Stay back! " Marcus yelled.

Varios stood up slowly as the pain fettered away. He opened his eyes and they were blood red with black holes for pupils. The top of the Tower suddenly exploded as a beam of dark energy blasted into space. When the beam dissipated, Varios stood in all his newfound might.

"Embrace the inevitable. Order will be no more. For I am the End, and the Beginning. I am Chaos! " a million voices roared.

And thus the Immortal Wars began.

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar

He suddenly launched himself out of her mind and into the universe again. He could see, and actually feel. Nebuck turned to Alathas and smiled.
"Well, one thing's for certain. You're a lot stronger than me."
Wait... He thought of where he was. He tried to compute and check his systems, but he found nothing. Just... Thought. And a question. Where am I? He looked at himself. His mental image of himself which he had constructed. He looked at himself by closing his eyes and detatching his mind. He looked a lot different from his hologram self. He had a new shade of skin, paler, and his muscle tone was more defined. He looked... Handsomer? And he simply was... More real. Nebuk took a step forwards and nearly fell, but he didn't. Immediately he realised that he didn't have any clothes. He poked himself in the arm.
"Oh my god, I'm fucking real..."
Nebuk couldn't understand what happened. But he couldn't crash anymore. The closest thing to it, was fainting. He did.

Etelli & Liikana

"I'll take a look at those."
Liikana began to try on all sorts of hats, gloves, and other bits of clothing. She was almost having fun with the hats, since none of them would fit over her ears.
"I'll need ear holes in my hats!"
She was really having fun. She giggled and tried on the gloves, which were a bit odd, due to her hands being small.

Aganotorus nodded. It wasn't his place to pass a judgment on this, but he thought General Sceela should have been commended for her actions. "I will need all of the generals." He said. "Would it be possible to retrieve her?" He also noticed some older Kreanolthans ships. Probably still extremely powerful, but... who knew what had been created within the inner worlds of the Empire.

City

"Thank you Archon." he said. He teleported to the tower's lobby. "Excuse my intrusion, but I need to speak to the manager of this facility. I am Aganotorus, Lord of the Shadows. I have extremely important blueprints that need to be implemented immediately. If you require, you may check with Vex or Marcus. I have been placed in command of the armies."

Vetega Prime

The Dii Malleus had be able to repair the shield and cannons in transit. "Condition one. Await orders." Captain Octovinus ordered.

[The Orson Empire]

Don would take the ship farther into the city. Daxx had to be approaching soon. If only I had more intel! This datapad is useless! he thought, frustrated. He began flying all around the city, and then spotted a huge convoy. They were probably distributing illegal goods to customers. Don flew his ship closer to get a look. It was indeed an illegal convoy, and some people were putting boxes into a nearby building. The alien overseeing said,"Make sure those don't get damaged. The cargo is expensive." Don landed his ship on a landing pad, and took out his laser rifle. He used his binoculars to get a better look.

[Kreanoltha]

Nebuchadnezzar

Alathas giggled a little. "Umm... Nebuk, you're hologram is naked." Then he fainted. "Oh god, Nebuk!" She had no real idea of what to do. He hadn't covered first aid. Did he even need first aid? Was he a more realistic hologram or an actual person. Was this her fault? She hadn't even known she was attacking him.

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

"Oh, my apologies," Aequinas said. "I don't usually get customers with your anatomy. I'll throw a few things together Just pick out what you like. It will only take a few minutes." In the mean time, Etelli had used a pair of rapid fabrication devices to make her several sets of lingerie to top off her second shopping cart of clothes. She briefly wondered if there was enough room in the trunk, but remembered that their car was massive. There would easily be enough room.

[Hladgos]

Void

Entity thought through the things Chaos sent to him, and moved them, silently, and unnoticeably into another place. There was now nothing but white, and Entity, was standing with his arms folded behind his back with plain white robes and large folded and feathered white wings. He had a pleasant smile on his face, and was glowing white, so he was nearly unseen. Chaos would find that he was his true self here. What he was on the inside. What his soul was.
"Do you dislike order, or do you simply see it as unneccicary? I see there being a middle between order and chaos. Not truly in the middle, and constantly shifting to accomidate what existence wants. We can work together."

[The Orson Empire]

Don would still be in the city, watching the cargo being deployed. He then sighted Daxx. He was talking with a man. Daxx said,"I want this stuff in their as quickly as possible before the law gets here." The man replied,"We are going as fast as we can." Don had Daxx in his scope. He said,"I got you now." He fired. Daxx collapsed in a pool of blood. The mans creamed,"HE'S DEAD!!" He then saw Don. "SHOOT HIM!" The criminals fired their laser rifles, scoring a hit on Don's shoulder. Wounded, Don, quickly hid behind a building. He was loosing a lot of blood. He tried to find a medical center, but failed, as he was unfamiliar with the area. He collapsed, unconscious.

[Vetega]

Plains of Selestis

Carthil thought about it. He trusted Aganotorus well enough.
"Go to the floating mountains of Abreus. You won't be able to find her. She will find you once you are good and lost. But be careful. Marcus hasn't tamed the forest yet. He saw no reason to. There are things there that even gods fear. " he replied.

"I'll summon the other generals once you return. " he added.

Tower

The receptionist, a human born immortal, smiled.
"One moment please. " she said and disappeared.
Half a nanosecond later, she reappeared. She had quite the reputation for being the fastest of the gods.
"Cariophillus is awaiting your arrival. He's just arrived from Scilla. " she said while pointing at the sky.


Vetega System
So far 159 ships had gathered. Of course this gave the enemy advanced warning, but the entire Andromeda galaxy was in turmoil. The Empire's forces were spread thin. Even so, this would still be the fiercest battle they had so far. The fleet became a massive backwards V formation with the Nova in the center. They hadn't moved into the system yet.

Void

Chaos found himself reverting to his original avatar. The one he had a the beginning of Creation. A human male stood where Chaos once stood. His hair was white with black highlights. His eyes were the colors of the brilliant Medusa Cascade.

"Who truly knows what existence wants? No one. Not even the Architects themselves. We shape the Multiverse into how we interpret it to be. Unfortunately, some of us take the wrong path. I fear that it is too late for me. Yet, you want to work with me? I can understand that balance must be maintained, however that suggests that you believe that the balance has been disrupted. " he replied with a look of slight fascination.

He hadn't seen his true self in a very long time. By having all of the hate removed, he was beginning to understand Entity. This was turning into an intellectual conversation that even Vex would not comprehend.

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar

Nebuk woke with a start. First of all, his head pounded and his whole body ached. The light was blinding and everything was painful, bright, or loud. No wonder babies cried so much when they were first born. He basically had just been born anyway, and he looked towards Alathas.
"No, I, I- I'm real..."
He was real bruised up already, just from falling, and he had hit his arm on something. The edge of the counter, and he was bleeding. He wiped his arm on the white wall and simply wiped his finger on the wound. He stared at the drop of blood, facinated.
"I'm alive, real, biological, fucking amasing..."
He would have studied why this happened, if he was not in so much mental pain. He sat down and clutched his head while the ship seemed to spin about him.
"Alathas, test the blood please and see if it is real..."

Etelli & Liikana

"Oh, it's okay. I just thought it was funny that the hat's wouldn't fit me."
She realised that it sounded extremely childish and stupid, and decided not to say any more. She continued to look at socks and stuff, until she came to the wild assortmant of intimates. Some of the panties and bras were just hilarious in their colors and designs.

[Kreanoltha]

Nebuchadnezzar

"Yeah." she said. She was extremely overwhelmed. "Let's take you somewhere to lie down. Where exactly is sick bay? I can test the blood there if you walk me through it." And I can run a brain scan on myself to see what the fuck is going on in my own head.

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

Etelli left he two carts in the corner and went to see how the last of her orders were progressing. "How is everything up here?" she asked. "Oh fine." Aequinas said. "Your homa fela was quite the challenge to design for. It was fun though. Here are the last of your orders. Feel free to go over them." Etelli grabbed a third cart to held her extra stuff. There various shoes with stiletto heals, a pair of knee-high black leather three-inch healed boots with buckled straps running all the way to the top. An assortment of hats. Gloves. "Everything's perfect." she said. She got the rest of her stuff and began checkout. That would be quite to process.

[Vetega]

Vex appeared next to an unconscious Don.
"Your time is not up. Not yet. You still have work to do." he stated.

The air around them burned as a white light engulfed them. With a sonic boom, Don would suddenly appear in an ER of a nearby hospital in the middle of a crater. The nurses rushed to him and began treatment.

[The Orson Empire]

Don would wake up and say,"Ughh, what the hell happened?" He then saw the ER room, full of nurses running about. He said,"WHERE THE HELL AM I? I NEED TO GO COLLECT MY PAYMENT!" he got off the bed and started running.

[Kreanoltha]

Plains of Selestis

"Gladly." Aganotorus said. He took the form of a long, snake like dragon with four legs, a pair of arms, and billowing leathery wings. He had long, fin-like structures on the end of his tail. He took flight for the tip of the mountain. The top would be the best place to get lost at. he though.

Tower

"Thank you." he said. "And where is Cariophillus' office?"

[Kreanoltha]

"Hold it kid." a hulking provecti said as he grabbed the fleeing man by the arm in his crushing fist. "You're not going anywhere." He looked mostly human, if a tall human, except for his jet black hair and eyes.

[The Orson Empire]

Don yelled,"BUT WHAT ABOUT MY PAYMENT? I'M GETTING PAYED ONE MILLION!!" He pushed the man off of him and continued running throughout the hospital, knocking over nurses and other items.

[Kreanoltha]

Pinwheel Galaxy
Gandelon-4

"You'll get you're payment later." the provecti said. "And I ain't screwing around. You're coming with me." He wore a long brown leather coat that had seen better days. He grabbed the man by the arm and roughly lead him to his own car. "That laser did most of the healing for you by cauterizing the large veins. You're just missing on the morphine. Now, that guy you killed. A lot of people aren't happy about that. Now my boss here, he is happy about it. I'm here to take you back to you're ride and send you on you're way, because you wouldn't have lasted five more minutes in there. See those guys?" he pointed out the window. Two men in nicer coats than his ran into the hospital. "They're hitmen for the new boss. They're after you. Now when you get back, my boss wants you to remember who saved you're ass. Maybe you want to do some work for him. Just remember this card." He gave him a card with just a phone number on it before he took off to take the man back to his car.

[Vetega]

(Last post of the night)


As soon as Don had arrived, the police were called. They arrived a minute too late. Two small airships floated over the building. Gunships blocked the street off. The Imperial Military Police swarmed in at platoon strength. Shots were fired and people ran screaming.


Immortal Realm

Carthil watched him go, knowing that Sceela wouldn't make it easy for him.


Outlands
Sceela stirred from her sleep she could sense him, even from this distance. Her eyes became stormy. As a result, a storm would form. The worst storm in the cluster. It shook the mountains with it's gale. She stood up and he black armor appeared over her. It was dull and tarnished. The signs of being the most battle hardened being in the Realm. The Banished One floated through her walls and into the storm. When he was lost, she would find him.


Tower

"Top floor, big doors made out of every lock in existence. Big black Pandorica prison box outside it. You can't miss it." She replied with another smile.

She had a crush on him already.

Nova:


Nhur-Galladu produced a handkerchief from within his robes and handed it to Izon without a word. The Ta’Nar watched his host change multiple shades of red as rage ran through him. Finally Nhur-Galladu spoke.

“Take this and wipe your mouth, you have ice cream on your face.”

A look of surprise washed across his face as Nhur-Galladu continued once again.

“Let me guess, you thought I was handing it to you because you were whining and I was mocking you. While you were whining and being all emo about yourself, actually sounding like I was going to have to break out the pity violins, you actually did have ice cream on your face. The fact you thought I was mocking you meant you believed it yourself first. Take that revelation to heart for if you do you can learn a little bit of yourself.”

“Now, can you drop the emotion from your diatribe and just give me the facts? I have found people use emotional responses to taint the truth to their liking and if one is able to strip away the emotive, you end up with the unblemished facts behind the situation. Once you have the basic foundation of facts, you can make a decision on what your course of action should be.”

“Now, let’s start over. What are the basic facts and the chain of events leading up to the situation? I am not trying to insult you, how many of your other potential enemies or allies even bothered to find out the facts right from both you and Chaos?”

"Goddamn!" the provecti growled as a shot nearly hit his car, "You got the fucking cops on you already? You are not quite, you know that?!" he ducked and swerved into an ally between buildings, cutting hard turns that I hoped would throw the cops off. When he had a feeling they were off him, he tucked his car into a small little driveway between two massive skyscrapers. He turned all the lights off, sunk his car's heat, turned the reactor to minimum, gave the kid the, 'keep quite,' signal, and waited, hoping they would think his car ha disappeared. He turned his police scanner on, listening for news. If it sounded like they were getting close to him, he'd gun it.

Immortal Realm

Outlands

Aganotorus' dragon was swept far into the mountains by the storm before he had time to right himself, he shrunk and became more aerodynamic, and attempted to land in what looked like a sheltered valley between two great mountains.

Tower

"Thank you miss." he said as he headed for the elevator, the sigils and runes on his robe shifting slightly as he thought about things to come. The elevator door shut almost at the same time the storm struck the dragon. He fell to the side as she felt the wind strike him. Splitting his mind between two avatars didn't separate the two halves. They could still feel each others' sensations.

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar
"It's just down the... outline the most direct path to the med bay."
With that, a dotted blue line appeared in the air, going down the hallway to get to the med bay. Nebuk was on the verge of fainting again. He was god damned real, and alive. He began to think of how exactly this new body created itself. He must have had the idea and plans in his mind subconciously, and when he came back into reality, the universe simply saw him as a being without a body, os it made him create one. The computer was already being used by the alternate program, so he couldn't go back to it.
"Brilliant... trans-dimentional reletavistic creation. Mental relativity within my own mind..."

Etelli & Liikana
Liikana simply waited for Aequinas to finish the clothes being made. She wanted to see if they would actually fit her, and be comfertable. She never really wore anything close to her fur, since it would rub around and get horridly annoying, but perhaps this stuff would be different?
"Do you think Etelli will like it?" She said, not in particular to anyone.

[Vetega]

Nova

Izon frowned. Being a Rancelonian allowed him to easily push his emotions away.
"Very well. The first sign of things to come was the Vexil. They laid siege to Andromeda. They swept through my empire like a plague. An unstoppable plague. So I came to the Milky Way. They followed me. The denizens of that galaxy were caught unawares. We managed to push them back into my galaxy. However, before I could defeat Crysallis, he came. Tanas appeared from nowhere. My fight with Crysallis had weakened me. He nearly ended my life to save the enemy. He brought his fleets, took control of the Vexil forces, and initiated an event known as The Fall. After that things went downhill. Tanas and Crysallis took control of the newly reestablished Zectoran Empire and conquered the Milky Way. He spread out from there. He exterminated all life in Charybdis galaxy and moved on.
Only I know who he is and where he's from. So it is my burden to destroy him and free the countless galaxies from his grip. His plans are unknown to us, but we will fight to the bitter end. We have no other alternative. He recently attacked the Immortal Realm. What else do you need to know? I have a fleet to lead. " he said.

At that moment, the klaxons blared.

Gandelion-4

The police swept the area. Airships and gunships roared overhead.

'Target lost, initiate 10 mile cordon. Return to duties. ' the call went out.

Vex watched this and smiled.


Immortal Realm
Tower

As the elevator doors opened, he would find himself face to face with the Pandorica. A single person box created to contain the most feared being in the universe. After a timelord known as The Doctor effectively damaged it, it was brought here for repairs. Cariophillus never got around to it. The golden doors sat behind it.

Outlands

The storm grew worse as she stepped outside. This one wouldn't give up like the others. Sceela smiled. She stepped into the gale and disappeared. She would find him in the valley.

[Hladgos]

Void
"What if I told you that I was Existence?"
Entity smiled at Chaos and laughed then.
"It would be a lie, no doubt, but would it really matter what I want? There is more than you can ever imagine. The multiverse is nothing in comparison to the true infinity of the Inner-realm. Nothing can comprehend everything Chaos, there's just too much. But if I were existence, I would merely have existed, and not really cared how it did come to be. I would feel sorrow perhaps, if my creation were destroyed, but I would build anew."
Entity walked over to Chaos and stood by his side with a smile. Chaos was already relaxing, and opening up. There was no reason for anger or resentment here, so there simply, was none.
"I interperate the multiverse as a place of perfection. Not what you saw so long ago, but something... more perfect than perfection. More perfect than the Innerverse, and the infinite creation, and anything you have ever known."
The whiteness suddenly faded away, to reveal the multiverse, and everything else that Chaos' mind and soul could comprehend. The stars swirled brilliantly and the black went with the stars and accompanied, not drowned them out. While the stars shone, they also did not take away from the darkness. They were equals, and they worked together, but always moved and spun, lived and danced with eachother eternally. It was more beautiful than anything anyone had ever seen before. Chaos and Entity were the only two beings to ever see this.
"Chaos, you are wrong. You think you have decided, but you have not. You have barely even been born. You are young, and wise, though not completely knowledgeable, but enough to suffice. You fear, you think you fear, but what you fear is what you do not understand. I have showed you that you do not need to understand everything. You do not want the realm I showed you I think, for it is useless, it is nothing. You see, there is nothing to fear. Do you see? Look."
Entity gestured about the stars and blackness.
"Do you see a path Chaos? If you do, I would love to see it."
Entity smiled and put an arm around his shoulder, and with a laugh, he walked off into the stars.
"Walk with me, and we will make our own path, though never will we tread it twice, nor will we ever see it. I want to work with you Chaos, since it is simply our destiny. But it is a destiny we will make ourselves. You are a being, not of destruction, but of creation. Like I, am a being of creation. We work in tandem, harmony, infinity. Tanas."
Suddenly blackness covered everything, and there was suddenly nothing but the cold, the black, and the dead.
"This is you, or me. Do you understand? And the infinite white is me or you, correct?"
The beautiful scene appeared before them again.
"I do not belive that the balace is disrupted Chaos. I belive, there is none. Yes, noone ever bothered to make it I've seen. My point is proven with what you saw before. Complete perfection, and it's, sorry to say, disgusting. Even I dont want that kind of perfection. I want there to be balance now, since noone cared to make it, and there is only one balace that can exist. A moving one."
Entity smiled and grabbed Chaos' hand while they walked. It would almost be a beautiful scene, except for one dark spot in the stars. Darker than the blackness, but Entity covered it up.
"The balance ebbs and flowes, like the tides of reality, and it evolves and learns as well. It was too complicated for the Architects, so they never thought about it. Vex dosen't know about it, you dont, I dont. Can you think of any being stronger than those three at the moment? Tanas cares not for balance, for he is lost. You are not lost, he is. Blinded by the drive to have... everything. He wants it all, but in the end, there will be nothing. You, and I, must stop him. We are on the same side. You are creation through disruption, and I am creation through perfection. We are both one color, but we are different. Nregokath wants everything as well, just like Tanas, and he will soon become as powerful as Tanas. I cannot let that happen, nor can you. Chaos. I want you and I, to build the balance, and give imperfect perfection to everything that can be or cant. Chaos, I am your opposite, your equal... your brother."
Entity suddenly slashed a bright, pure white and smiled intensely at Chaos.
"Do you belive in fate? If you do, stop, and look into me. There is only the fate which we create, and this... this is true. This is real. You are lied to by a false master, and your purpose is one of good intentions, not evil ones. Join me brother, and someday, we will become more."

[Vetega]

Chaos smiled for the first time in eons. He finally understood. His body glowed as the dark energies ebbed away into nothing. His path had become clear to him now.

"Infinite paths to infinite outcomes. An imperfect balance of perfection. I finally understand your logic. This is not merely Fate, but the destiny that we shall create. Such a a thing would have escaped my understanding a few days ago. Now I am something more. We are more. Tanas is the enemy of all life. His lackeys are the enemies of life as well. In order to form our balance we must do what is necessary. However, I have one question. What of Crysallis? Shall we allow him to fight Izon, in which case they would both die. Or shall we set him on the right path, should he so choose to follow it? A future of impossible possibilities await us brother. How shall we proceed? " he responded.

The beauty of it all astounded him. He was old, but young. He had gained all knowledge, but also barely scratched the surface. This was a new beginning for him. He had found his calling.
