The God of War could be useful when it mattered, but now he just saw him as an inconvenience. It was true however, his vocal attack on Golkai could have been stronger, but Amos had always preferred action to words. He would just have to remind Golkai why he was given War, and not Valor. One day soon. Then Delthrael did something Amos was not expecting, he showed him home with a cryptic warning. Amos fell to his knees as he looked at the Heavens once again. They were just as he remembered, beautiful and vast, stretching on for miles. How he craved to return, to protect it once again, to see his home and gardens in there splendor. But his quick glimpse shattered as Delthrael's voice broke the illusion. Ah yes, but an illusion. Golden tears flowed from his eyes as he blinked back to reality, the image had awoken strong feelings inside of him, ones that had laid dormant for centuries. Ones that reminded him of his true purpose. As Amos gathered himself and stood up, his gaze fell upon Delthrael, and it was a look of hatred. [color=gold]"Such lengths will not be necessary, [i]brother.[/i] Mark my words, Desious will pay for what he did, no matter what.[/color] He looked up at the sky, [color=gold]"I will go to great lengths to achieve that but if Heaven is ever touched, then I will bathe this world in blood. Do I make myself clear?"[/color] Amos looked back at Delthrael and smiled wickedly, [color=gold]"Come now brother, do you think me a fool? You have your own agenda don't you? Ah, yes, change. It would be foolish to think otherwise, with your ghostly stare and cryptic words. I will be watching you now. I don't want changes to interfere with my plans after all."[/color] Once that was said and done, Amos looked to Cyl and nodded, [color=gold]"Good, very good Cyl. Though I would like to have my sword for what comes next, I will have to be creative. Shall we dep-"[/color] Next came a rain of bullets as the world was suddenly engulfed in chaos. Soldiers had come. Amos smiled, finally something to lighten his mood.

She had never even consumed alcohol in her life, yet here she was, sipping whiskey and getting a drink made by a Goddess. It was enough for any human to probably faint, especially after that vision, but she wasn't any human. She wondered if being a demi-god meant not getting drunk? Regardless, she took the cup from Fiala, [color=cyan]"Thank you, milady."[/color] She did a little bow and almost lost her balance. The whiskey was kicking in so fast? Well, oh well, wasn't like she was in anymore danger, she hoped. She took a sip of the drink, it wasn't as strong as the whiskey, but still packed a bunch she admired. She walked over to the couch again and got cozy, wondering what would happen next. Death relaxed, this was good. The only one with major problems, at least for the time being, was Hiraga. Her concerns were real ones, and they would be addressed. [color=gainsboro]"Hiraga my dear, you must realize that I find all life is precious. It pains me to see what has happened to the Earth without your care but could you really stop every single species from dying? You've killed before with impunity as I recall. Species die that cannot adapt to change, and as much as it pains me to say it, humans have mastered that art. We can discuss in private what must be done to please us both, but for now we have more pressing matters. Matters that could leave you with nothing outright."[/color] he turned to Stjerne and Zencrux, [color=gainsboro]"Your father was mysterious was he not? His words held a double meaning, something I discussed with your parent's before any of you were born. The void is all around us, we exist with in it. Every planet, star and celestial body fill the void with life. It can be everything and nothing at the same time. However, your stars are being devoured by a creature that once called the void home before it was full of life. And soon, I fear it will come here, if not already. We must prepare all the Gods, to stop it, only then can we look for the future. Now I have a pl-"[/color] Death froze as Anarchy spoke. He felt them die, one by one. [color=gainsboro]"We need to go back! Now!"[/color] he shouted. [@GrizzTheMauler][@Dealdric][@Rune_Alchemist][@Forsythe][@mercenarius][@Dezuel]
