[quote=Tyki] the woman smiles faintly at him, gesturing for him to walk with her down a path as the grass parts to reveal a cobble path. "shall we walk together while we discuss our business?" she inquires softly the man walks onto the path silently, parting the grass in his wake before making it onto the path and waiting for eclipse's response [/quote] "Wait a moment." Eclipse notices the movement of the grass near her, as if another invisible being were there, following them. Clearly, there were multiple illusions going on around him, and the image of Asmodeus didn't exactly vanish. Remembering the undead being wanted to talk, Eclipse wanted to grant him that chance. If such an evil being perhaps sought an opportunity surrender, he'd graciously accept. He looked back to Darkside, but just as he did, the blue portals all opened in the skies above them, dropping a hundred giant drones. Eclipse quickly brought up his shield and drew his weapon as they pointed their cannons/lasers/etc at the three of them. As for surrendering, that was one possible outcome. No attacks had yet been made, so the angel needed more information. He looked at the Bo and the being with the image of Asmodeus. "God-Emperor? Is this a friend of yours?"
