[center]Theme: http://youtu.be/bCLgWHE6fiQ The closing of the doorway to earth has brought the intrigue of all major forces of this world. Those above, on, and below. As is with every world. When power is constricted and the mighty are confused and afraid. The grasp for power emerges. Tearing the peace the world once had to pieces. As the blood of a descendant falls onto its very own corpse. As the claws and teeth of hungry beasts swallow the flesh of their fresh kill. The book this dismembered lump clung to soon became crimson with the blood of its owner. When there was little left for the beasts to feed on. Forming from conjured darkness was a black mass shaped as a doorway. Within it was a land of bones and blades. A graveyard for wars. This struck fear within the beasts and within a second they were fleeing into the hanging vines and other forestation. A being stepped out of the doorway, rippling the invisible fabric of the in between. Like a stone cast into water. "This is what he died for.. If only he had listened to master.." The being reached within the bloody pool of bones and meaty remains and retrieved the book. He cracked the book open and scanned its insides. He then closed it shut. "Immaterial beings.. Return to a prison of my masters choosing." His hand was red, bloodied crimson by the now red hued book. He returned to the doorway and upon entering it the doorway closed in a collapsing spiral, vanishing. The same doorway opens within the Royal room of the King of Vrondi. Confusion, leading to chaos. The very same being emerged from the doorway, before the God King and his few royal guards. No longer holding the book, for it was something put away. He raised his now free hands, palms to the sky and fingers half way into a grasp. "Hello.. False God." A surge of lightning erupted through the royal room and for those outside the fumes of fire smoked a signal of the ensuing battle. However, shortly, things went silent... The bodies of the royal guards dropped as burned heaps from the walls and ceiling. The God King was no longer seen and the being remained. Clearly damaged but only from a single gash on his right shoulder. He grips it with his left hand and chuckles. "You indeed are formidable.. But now, you're a pawn.." His words spoke to the glowing sphere that floated above his right palm like a miniature sun. The doors that entered the thick walls of the royal room were covered in a black smog. Those that attempted to touch it found their hands going through it, then pulled within. The location one enters after going through it is.. a mystery. Leaving no possible way for even the highest of royalty and powers to enter the room. Now time was ticking and things were getting worse by the minute. --------- Theme: http://youtu.be/gQHSZMm-yjI The dragon rider above Rai & Sai closed in on them from above and then the dragon unleashed a flamethrower that touched the ground and licked at their backs, threatening to engulf them if they did not keep up their pace. However, as they ran their cloaks began to catch fire. Causing Sai, Rai's sister. To in act a desperate maneuver to get out of the path of the Dragon fire. She tackled Rai and rolled to the left. The stream of fire passing by them and the rolling effectively extinguishing the small fire on their cloaks. Leaving black holes on them. "Rai!" She shouted at her dazed brother, looking him in the eyes. "You need to bring him here." Rai rolled his eyes back to focus and looked into her vision. "We can escape!" He turned to look at the forestation and began moving towards it. But was stopped instantly by his sister who returned his gaze to his. "There's no other way. I'm sorry." Her eyes went white and gave a faint glow. This glow was then shared to Rai's eyes and his body went limp on the ground. The dragon rider turned the beast to their direction. Sai stood up and looked at Rai. Her timid fear changing to sleepy gaze at what was happening to her brother. Ignoring the dragon coming towards them entirely. The glow of Rai's eyes brightened until it engulfed his entire form. The flash of light blinded the Dragon and its rider for a moment, and a hissing sound could be heard from where Rai was. Then followed by a pulsing sound. Until finally the light dissipated and the glowing silhouette of Rai was now standing and towering over Sai. "Don't start any trouble.. We simply needed you at this time." She looked down almost looking embarrassed at herself. Who she was talking to was revealed as the light faded. Standing there no longer was the scared young descendant. It was a white haired descendant with caramel skin and menacing eyes. "Well well well looks like I was summoned again. Can't you weaklings ever get things done without me?" He smirked looking down at Sai. "I'm sick of looking at your face." He said, his smirk turning to a frown. Sai sighed deeply and didn't reply, clearly bothered but holding her tongue as if talking to a superior. The dragon riders unseen face underneath the helmet gave a raised brow at what just transpired. But returned to his duty of killing. Taking out his holstered rifle and firing a dozen shots at the two while closing in. The man before Sai stepped in front of her. A glowing hue of light covered his person and the rounds hit his body but fell to the ground ineffective at piercing him. Then the dragon unleashed another flamethrower at the two. So the mysterious man raised a hand before the flames emitted out and midstream a vortex of wind escaped from his hand and consumed the flames and whirled around the rider and the dragon. They were instantly inside a flaming cyclone and were sent higher into the air, rolling midair without control and landing far off into the wilderness. Their landing marked by the sounds of trees breaking and miniature flying dragons escaping in flocks. "Not worth my time.." He heard the sounds of gunfire behind him and looked seeing the humans fighting the Dragon and his rider not too far from their position. "New friends eh..?" He looked at Sai who nodded. "Please, we need to help them!" She cried. But this man crossed his arms and then sat with crossed legs. "No.. I think I'll watch." He grinned. Leaving Sai to look on herself unsure what to do. ----------- The Fotian Soldier scoffed underneath his helmet at the human charging before him. He placed his weapon on the hilt and then unsheathed his curved blade. "I'll gut you for fun." He lunged forward toward the patched man. Blade in right hand and left hand free. He stabbed forward, using the length of his 3 foot blade so if connecting only a inch or two would enter the flesh. He followed it up with another stab, sliding forward with this one to enter into the flesh atleast by a foot. Then he would pull back and come down with a slash. After the deadly fire escaped from the Dragon's mouth its other eye was shot by Viola's constant fire. The other bullets hitting it's hide merely plucked off a few of its scales. This led to a blinded beast that writhed in pain. It began swinging its tail around and waved it just above the heads of the Fotian rider and his combatant. It came down to where it last sensed the humans and crashed down beside the covering spot Viola was hiding. Then it raised its wings and flapped them causing a gust that sent it air born. It however flew sideways into a tree that was near Sygma. Who dodge rolled and ran to escape its further thrashing. Sygma ran over to where Viola was and knelt down next to her. "Great job!" He said through heaves of breathes of life. "We need to take out that guy." He looked to who Alan was fighting and saw the battle wasn't a one time kill as usual for his seasoned partner. "Stop him for a moment and that's all is needed for him to take that guy out. Then we can get the hell away from this blind dragon." He watched Viola's reaction, knowing that he had no abilities to change the situation like she could. --- Within the town of Sunfire the Aion leader Mirror conversed with Eden, a now dying breed of Hannoxx descent. The Aion leader, Mirror, who wasn't exactly towering over Eden. Still looked at him as if he was looking down on him. His fluid words didn't rub this one the right way entirely, obviously. But it didn't seem to annoy him, rather he looked past Eden's comments of fun. His expression a bit worried. "There will be time for fun later. Come with me please." He motioned Eden to follow as he stepped through the crowd of unawares civilians toward the bar Eden was now familiar with. "I know you don't know who I am by name. Which is fine. Perhaps it is better this way for now.. But we will be getting to know each other very well." He entered the bar & inn, which was still dealing with a dazed manager, and made his way up the stairs. There he entered the room next to Eden's own private lair of sexual conquest. He sat down at a desk within the bedroom and grabbed a scale from a ink bottle and began writing down on a piece of paper something very quickly. He finished within a few seconds and looked up at Eden. He rolled the paper up and stamped it with a blue wax seal. He looked up at Eden after this and placed his elbows on the desk and intertwined his fingers. "I've been thinking of how to ask you this but I'll just come right out and say it. Why would anyone want to have you dead?" Time 11:05 am [/center]
