Roxy watched the rest of the gods from the shadows. Some of them could see her but most of them couldn't when she was deep in the shadows. They rarely bothered her. She didn't mind. She had never been much of a socializer. The only one she missed was her brother. The brother they had all forgotten. They thought she had forgotten, but she hadn't. And she never would. Nothing they did could make her forget.

[Thantos]

Knew roxy was there "Sister, wont you join us" he looked in her direction, no one can enter his world or leave it with out him knowing it "we have to discuss the prophecy like we discuss other things "a pair of large doors open and a giant table freshly polished and cleaned, it brought memories of the war council and his banishment "its been a long time since this tables been used" he looked at Roxy and Ulykke "i have sent out my banshees to send messages to the others that should be joining us." he walked over to the large table and touched it, it seemed like forever since their dark council fell apart, "we need to invite the three and the other gods, we must discuss this prophecy

[KatherinWinter]

"I don't like crowds." Roxy answered him. She looked over at the group. She sighed. The meeting of the minds were about to begin. She hated the interacting with the others. She was still angry with them. With a sigh she moved out of the shadows. She went to the table where the others were gathering.

[Thantos]

a banshee appeared before the three "the Master calls for you to attend a meeting" she then faded looking at misha as she did her face all to familiar each of the gods was visited by a banshee delivering a message from Darko that there was a meeting in his world and it was about the prophecy

[Master Crim]

"you were banished as a result of defiance as would have we all..." there was something about what had happened exactly that made Ulykke feel as though there was more to that clash that he couldn't remember. "I can't quite remember why but it was you they banished you as an example should we ever try to take the world and heavens again." Ulykke chuckled at the last part.

Entering the council room he as well was filled with remembrance, of conflict and turmoil over the mortal and celestrial realms. Ulykke paid little attention to Roxy and Darko he figured they were talking between siblings. Walking around the table Ulykke noticed that there was one more chair at the table than there are attendees, but he dismissed this as a chair for anyone who was to join their ranks or Darko's sister should she want to sit in at anytime. Taking the seat he had in the past he waited for the others.

[Master Crim]

Calcifer walked as had been for days, his wolf disguised as a normal wolf, knowing that he had just a little further to go before he could reach a town to rest. As he traveled he came upon a small forested section. "Well you've gotten big in my absence." he spoke to the trees. His pet came up nuzzling his hand, and he, in turn, rubbed between his ears. "not much longer." he said before he continued walking. The trees became larger the further he got into the forest until he happened upon a fallen tree that lay across the road. He smirked as he knew what this was. "Let me guess you want me to turn out my pockets and give you my sword?" there was no response immediately, but he could hear whispers. Then three men came from the bushes and one woman leapt from a tree, but only the woman approached.
"almost, we'll hav' the armor as well." she said walking as if she owned the place. Kronos, Calcifer's wolf, growled low and Calcifer put his hand towards him to hush. Calcifer showed no sign of fear or intimidation he only stood waiting.
"Well w'at you waitin' for?"
"this." Calcifer closed the distance between him and the woman so quick she had no time to react. Once he was close enough he reached into her jacket and pulled out a pack of throwing knives. She gasped as he stole her weapons and shrieked as Kronos jumped on top of her, pinning her to the ground. The three men we taken by surprise at Calcifer's speed, but we're not dazed long. One drew back his bow and fired two arrows while the others charged with short swords. Calcifer grinned as he saw the other thieves attack. 'so they have a bit of courage.' he thought to himself. Quickly rolling to his left he dodged the arrows and returned with two throwing knives to the ones charging him. The knives found their mark embedding just up and to the right of the assailants' hearts. This produced some grunts of pain and them clutching the knife. As those to fell to the ground writhing in pain Calcifer had one more to deal with, the archer. He stood looking him in the eye. The archer was ready to shoot but didn't. He was waiting for a hint of where Calcifer was going to dodge to.
"are you just going to stare at me?" Calcifer mocked. "or do you not have the heart to take a life."
"do it Gregory!" the woman shouted and was quickly silenced by Kronos.
"what's it going to be, you've lost boy. Your leader is mine and your buddies are dead or will be soon." Calcifer could see the fear welling up in the lad, and as he predicted he turned and ran. Calcifer watched him disappear into the woods before turning to the woman who now looked quite nervous and fearful herself. As he approach she tried to escape from under Kronos but to no avail. Tears started to form in her eyes.
"please let me go. I am only 28... I... I have a daughter. Please!" she pleaded in a desperate tone.
"ssshh, I will not harm you. I just want you to pray to your goddess, Queen of theives and assassins. Try to summon her... For me." Calcifer waved his had at Kronos who then stepped off of the woman. She gave Calcifer an odd look as she rose to her knees. "and if I don't?"
"did I mention how tender your skin looks?" the woman's eye widened and she began to pray.

"Roxy, my Queen of Shadows, hear my prayer.
I wish to summon you to spare my life.
In return I will offer half of what I obtain for the trouble I cause you.
Only hear this plea and have mercy on your servant. "

[KatherinWinter]

Master Crim said

Roxy was tapping her knife on the table waiting for the meeting to start when she heard a pray from one of her followers. She curious. Her people were usually self reliant she rare got called upon for aid. Figuring she had time she stepped into a nearby shadow and moved from the realm of the gods to the realm of man. She studied the woman that called her. She didn't seem to be in mortal danger. Angry at having her time wasted she appeared in front of the woman. She rarely appeared to her followers in her solid for, but this woman had pissed her off so she was getting the person treatment. "How dare you waste my time!"

[Master Crim]

"no, please your highness, I dare not waist your time for I was put up to this by-" she was cute off by Calcifer who stand near leaning on a tree.
"My word, Roxy, you haven't aged a day." he said as he approached his sister. "It has been too long."

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy turned to the man that addressed her. She walked around him her fingers danced across the tips of her knives. "What have the done to you Calcifer. You look... You look so different."

[Master Crim]

"This is what the jealousy and betrayal of gods does." Calcifer responded. It was an answer that was like all the others he gave: vague. He then remembered the woman. "So what's to become of her, I mean she did bring you to meet me. That has to be worth something." he changed the subject, but knew that Roxxane would be able tell his thoughts, he didn't want to talk while loose lips were near.

The woman was nervous and confused as to why a goddess and human were acting this way, but she was even more so when the attention was shifted back onto her. When they looked her way she cast her gaze back to the ground where she sat.

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy turned her attention back to the woman. "Yes that she did. I should thank you my dear." She walked over to the woman. "To thank you for helping my champion I will give you a gift." She told to woman. She gathered the throwing daggers. She caressed them embedding a bit of her essence into them. "These are your now my dear. They will always throw straight and true. Your enemies will never see them coming. Take them and go."

[Thantos]

looks around and sighs "looks like none of the other gods are coming" he looked at the others and sat down in his spot "let us summon our champions to the table, so they can receive their orders in person" he looked at both of his fellow god and goddess, and waved his hand over the table and the surface rippled and revealed a map of the mortal world and the location of their champions "Valios, heed thy call, head to the Dead Mountain and at its base is a portal, walk through it, once through it, you will be in the realm of fear, head to the dark citadel and then to the Council chamber"

[Shurikai]

(Annabel/Elizabeth)

As the cloaked god touched her body, a surge of energy washed over Elizabeth. Her breath caught in her chest and once it was over, she collapsed, gasping for air.

It took several minutes for Elizabeth to catch her breath. Looking around, she only saw possible threats. Everything was a danger now and she could see how to defend herself from them. A well of panic rose in her throat. Was this what being stronger meant? She forced it down and shook her head. It was a small price to pay.

Annabel had been watching her sister. A swirl of questions circled in her mind. What kind of blessing could her sister want from him? She watched, unmoving, as her sister received the gift and fell. It was Elizabeth's choice to accept it. Once her sister had recovered, she walked over and attempted to help her to her feet. She was rewarded with her sister pushing her away.
"Elizabeth, is something wrong?" She asked, only slight concern showed in her voice as she assumed it had something to do with the god.

"I'm fine! You don't have to coddle me all the time!" Elizabeth nearly shouted in reply and stormed off, leaving a confused and worried Annabel behind.

(Kiyovu)

Kiyovu blinked. This woman had no idea who he was. Taking a moment, he looked around. He had been here several times in the past, it hadn't changed much. He looked back to the female before him and sighed. A gust of hot air blew passed her and not a moment later, the alcohol and its effects were purged from her body.

He could hear the dog as it moved closer. It had courage to approach a god in such a threatening manner. It also had to truly love this woman and her flock to protect them from him. Kiyovu wasn't about to let himself get attacked and stared into its eyes for a brief moment then blinked, showing he was not here to harm anyone.

"Madam, I am the God of Summer. I have found your compassion and skill in combat to be worthy of its bounty." He said then looked back to her, "Would you accept, or deny what I offer?"
