[@Eklispe] [hider=Meruin Hazy's Exam] [i]Of course,[/i] cursed Meruin. She quickly ran options through her head - she didn't have anything on hand that could deal with the mannequin, not when she didn't know what it was capable of. She had to widen the distance between them if she wanted to plan things out. Thrusting both hands in front of her, Meruin drew two runes frantically, which both lit up as soon as the were made. As soon as they lit up, Meruin was blasted backwards. The sleeves on her arms tore up, and bruises began forming on her hands. Taking a shaky breathe, Meruin drew a rune on the floor, and began muttering under her breathe, preparing to repair her barriers. [/hider] [hr] [@Zetsuko] [hider=Kieran Altaaya's Exam] Silently, the [i]Fo[/i] watched as Kieran attempted to pinpoint the key to opening the exit. It was quite a simple solution, really, but rarely was it that people considered the simple solu- [color=fff79a]"Meep!"[/color] With a cry and a flash of light, Fo disappeared from the spot where she once was, reappearing right on top of the doorknob, chest heaving slightly and eyes widened in surprise. She took a moment to collect herself, inhaling deep, calming breaths. She shot a glare at Kieran. [color=fff79a]"Really? You don't just hold a woman without her permission, you know?"[/color] she pouted, locking eyes with Kieran. After a moment, she favored him with a small, congratulatory smile. [color=fff79a]"But, you aren't wrong. I am indeed the key to opening the door. Now, the problem is getting me to open the door for you."[/color] Fo floated a bit away from the door, arms crossed and face grinning in challenge. Her wings flipped erratically, as if practically daring Kieran to touch her.[/hider] [hr] [@The ghost in black] [hider=Aleksandra "Hound" Galino's Exam] Shaking her head, the Ravishing Woman smirked from afar, where Aleksandra couldn't see her. [color=ec008c]"Credits for tenacity, dear,"[/color] she whispered, [color=ec008c]"but the you won't get past this point with strength or tenacity."[/color] As Aleksandra dived straight for the Golden Titan's head, the Silver Titan pulled him out of the way, using the momentum of the swing to drag its fist in a wide arc, heading straight for a falling Alkesandra. It's face was contorted in anger, and its glare had an actual, oppressive aura.[/hider] [hr] [@Aisling] [hider=Agatha Merriweather Pendragon's Exam] Din had a dry look expression, and yet, a small, amused smirk made its way to his face. Shaking his head, Din walked towards Agatha, his copper joints. The copper man placed a hand on her shoulder. [i][color=a0410d]"Don't throw around your feelings like that, Pendragon. You may control the weather, but life has its own ways moving. Weather follows a pattern, and only when it's most complete does life spring from it."[/color][/i][/hider] [hr] [@MagusDream] [hider=Agni "Flare" Blackheart's Exam] [color=a36209][i]Do you have no choice?[/i][/color] echoed the Ancient One's voice, reverberating through the chamber. [color=a36209][i]Is leaving him alone truly difficult? Why do you feel responsible for him?[/i][/color] Cruz snorted. [color=39b54a]"It sounds ridiculous, but at the same time, so familiar - you've said it to me before, that me and my family are tyrants, lusting for power," Cruz leveled a glare at Agni, hate burning in his eyes. Hate, sadness, and loneliness. Flinging his hands, grids of light lifted up besides him, forming eight pillars that covered the explosions, "you'd rather everyone else around me die out!"[/color] [color=a36209][i]And your arrogance begets you, Agni - this Cruz is real, with his own life, experience and aspirations. Even this one has felt the stirrings of love for that girl Pamela. Accept this fact before you face him! And should you still wish to destroy him despite that, to erase his existence, everything that he was, is and will be, everything that he means to those that love him, then at least then you will be aware of the weight of the life you're taking.[/i][/color] [color=39b54a]"Hargh!"[/color] with a harsh cry, the Life Hackers shot waves of light in a wide arc towards Agni. At the same time, two swords made of rusted bronze floated above him, pointing at him. For some reason, however, Cruz did not seem to be able to notice them. [i][color=a36209]MAKE YOUR CHOICE AGNI![/color] The ancient hallway shook and rumbled with the thrumming of its voice.[/i][/hider] [hr] [@WittyWolf] [hider=Azrael Arcana's Exam] As Azrael devoured the black stone, thick, black veins spread throughout Azrael's body, before disappearing briefly. Silence settled on the field, before a familiar looking creature appeared. The ugly, weathered looking creature stared up at Azrael, its grim features twisted into an almost approving expression. Wordlessly, he tapped the floor with his staff, and the earth coiled around it, forming into a wide door. With an ominous creek, the doors swung open, revealing a dark chasm filled with black fire. [i][color=a36209]"Here, step forward for the next part of your exam,"[/color][/i] he said, gesturing inside.[/hider]
