As the blood that Sekaulla had taken on began to speak in Calcifer’s mind, the darkness it produced was like a refreshing wave to him. Calcifer watched the dragon of blood descend, and feelings of fear and weariness filled his heart as he was unsure what Sekaulle would do next she was a goddess of darkness after all. At first Calcifer was afraid that Sekaulla would not take kindly to him wanting to kill the gods, but when she gave what he took as a reassuring statement of [i]”In chaos I am sustained.”[/i] A smirk played across Calcifer’s face as he looked into the blood goddess’ glowing eye suspended within the flowing red liquid dragon. Calcifer’s attentions was turned the darkness a creature from within the tomb spoke in the dark language uttering warnings, questions and threats. From somewhere in the tomb Calcifer heard the rushing of air from this creature swinging something large and the crash as it hit what must have been a pillar. The chunks of stone came hurtling at Calcifer prompting him to jump and roll to get out of the way. The chunks of stone were followed by the creature, now in the light enough to tell it was definitely one of Darko’s. Calcifer was ready to fight this beast as he watched the nightmares rush by and out of the tomb. Once the floor was clear Calcifer made his way to confront the beast, but as he readied himself, Sekaulla, the blood goddess lunged past him in a liquid rush devouring the monster before him. Before he could thank the goddess for her help she disappeared back to her realm allowing him to continue.

As the last of them came in the meeting was stated by Xbox who stood and started making a speech about his thoughts of what must be done to combat not only this evil being, but some kind of great calamity that awaits us at the end of our time. He spoke on things that needed to be found in order to preserve this [i]seed[/i] that he said would allow a remnant of us to pass on to the next creation. One X had finished with his speech the gods seemed to have a mix of interests. "Are you sure this Fallen One is to rise to power once more?" Maldirous asked, the god of . "why don't we just kill him, he is a mortal after all? There is no way he could stand against even one of our full armies, if he does not have the Forsaken Army" a few of the gods around the table nodded and murmured their agreement. "He has a point," Began another. "why should we accept defeat, and prepare for the end before fighting for peace against this Fallen One?" Hal was not sure on which idea he wanted to follow. Part of him wanted to fight against this Calcifer, while the other part knew that X was not one to act before the time was right. If they could stop Calcifer before he became too big of a threat then there would be no need for them to have to worry about seeded for Armageddon. On the other hand X’s prophecies were not likely to be changed by the means of any as they come from the plans of the Creator. Hal could hear the prayers of one of his most loyal mortal servants, but could not converse with him at this time so instead sent a messenger to visit Brock. Hal waited to see what X’s response would be to the others while pondering what the best course of action would be. [center]< < < - - - > > >[/center] After watching Sekaulla despatch the guardian of Darko’s, Calcifer continued into the tomb with it’s towering corridors that seemed to have no roof as they disappeared into the darkness above. The corridors themselves were lit from small torches that were aflame with the Everflame of the gods. staying lit for their guardians to see. As he continued to the door that seethed with magical aura flowing across it like chains to secure it Calcifer once again began to speak “chainuk agh ukpelluk saib olk keep alnej from mausan ushtar. mausan powas growuk wiavh each ukavep avowarduk nauk-claimaumn mausan avhrone.” Getting closer to the door Calcifer all at once burst into his smoldering form. Calcifer began chanting an incantation to open the long sealed door. [center]< < < - - - > > >[/center] There came a rustling from the bushes in the woods a little was from the alter where Brock was standing. It was something large but could not yet be seen as it circled the alter from which the offerings had been given. After making a half circle it stepped out to reveal itself.

Kathan stood there seven feet tall towering over his master's champion. "The god of heros is convening with the other gods at this time, but has sent me as a messenger." His voice was deep and slightly growling as he spoke. "Hal may soon have need for you to fight a coming evil that poses a grave threat to the mortal world. There is something you must do before you can fight this evil. You must go forth to the temple in the southern desert to retrieve Hal's weapon to you. The journey will be treacherous, but once at the temple you need only provide an offering of pure flax oil and a bundle of barley." [@Thantos][@The Grey Dust]
