God's Shattering [Concluded]

@BlueAjah@Savo
Mind you that there's a couple places already listed as having hints for the locations of the relics. Like the chapel right behind the Academy, for example.

Also:



I'm joining the forces of light as well!

Shine City II: The Next Season

Oh, sorry for being a bit away, but I'm waiting for Dynamo's reply before posting again.

BTW, merry Christmas to you all!

@The 42nd Gecko

Do as you wish, but actually, your characters were introduced to a veery important piece of intelligence, their going there earned much more than you think it did.

Eris

"Thank you..."

Eris said just as Cassandra inquired about her situation. "I'm as normal as is possible for one to be. Nevertheless, what does this mean, when normalcy is a concept measure with a biased scale?" For a moment, Eris almost laughed but managed to stifle it to a mere chuckle a reaction far more adequate to a Fräulein such as she. "Fear not, this isn't another test. I'm merely interested in your reactions, such as always."

"Right at this time, you are the only focus of my attention, not even Nietzsche can take this place." Eris beckoned Cassandra to take a seat besides her, since the movie was still a way to go before starting, thus they had a lot of time to spare. "Don't you think it's a bit unladylike to admit that you didn't had a social life? I find it rather amusing that you can say such a things so easily."

Eris crossed her legs and flipped her hair (again using her wounded left hand out of habit) before resting her book over her lap "Anyway, I've been meaning to ask you something and now that we have the chance to talk as women and friends, I will." Eris looked Cassandra in the eyes, like a predator trying to corner her prey, before continuing "What are your interests? Your passions? I have told you about mine, I think it's fair for you to do the same. However, if the matter causes any distress to you, please remain quiet. I have no intention of causing you to grief, Cassandra O'Shera."

Eris pushed her questioning a bit further, in her... unique way of engaging in girl talk "May I go beyond and ask if there's anyone your heart wavers for? Depending on the sincerity of you answer, I might even disclose mine as well."

"Also, about God? The point is just that, Cassandra O'Shera. Many persons tend to misinterpret Nietzsche on that matter. The problem isn't that God has died, but that we killed him the moment we stopped believing. Ultimately, God is only as powerful as one's determination to make him be is, since he's nothing but a creation of mankind, seeking to give a meaning to the utter chaos that is life." After giving her own interpretation of Nietzsche, Eris fell silent, waiting for Cassandra to reply while she evaluated the redhead's reactions.

@Kimiyosis

I miss you too, you know? I've been waiting for you to come back for this whole time, Kimi and you don't even reply to my greeting?

Now I'm sad:

@Knight of Doom

Well, you're welcome back. Sometimes we all need a break.

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

I know that, Windel, I don't mean for anyone to reply today or anything like that. I was referring to the whole two weeks with little to no activity. I don't expect anything to happen before New Year, to say the truth. Specially when the holidays are spread between two weekends.

<Snipped quote by KoL>

And what is that independent post going to entail? Actions before Eris gets to the theaters?

@TheWindel

Indeed, pretty much that, I'm just tired of the silence here. It won't disturb the date-in-making at all. Also, I should say that I wasn't saying that the collab was bad, just that it kind of caused a prolonged break from the main thread.

Don't get me wrong, please.

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

Is it just me or do you guys think that that collab is stalling us for much more time than necessary? I'll have an independent post for Eris out in an hour or so.

I can't wait that much to continue the issue between Eris and Cassandra.

~God's Shattering~

The previous night...

The fight in the Citadel's back entrance probably had to be suddenly stopped when a beam of silvery light came once more from behind the old man, however, this time it was accompanied of a metallic clang, the heavy foot falls on one armored armored from head to toe. There on the underground chambers, the echo almost made it seem as if it was nothing but an armor devoid of any wearer that walked the musty tunnels.

"Oho! You're already here? Then it means Sachiko must have finished her public apparition, by now." As the old man said so, a being that would terrify anyone on the Imperium emerged from the shadows. It was no other than...

"Yggdrasil's here!? How da hell is this fair?" Sienna gasped in surprise, as the grip she had on her sword lost strength.

"Likewise, onee-sama. Surrender might be our only option." Linea complimented, while sheathing her rapier.

The old man lifted an eyebrow and smirked, "Smart girls, I like people who know when to fold. What about you, ladies?" he said to Meihou and Sierra, "Yggdrasil isn't half as much patient as I'm, I suggest making your choice fast."

Sierra's and Meihou's fates laid upon their decisions, be squashed by Yggdrasil's might, surrender, or take a third (unexpected) option? Whatever was it, they better do it fast.

•••

Despite all hose events, a new day rose, as it always does and always will do, bringing bountiful blessings upon the lands touched by Imperium. Other places... might not have so much luck, though even now a pious soul knelt before the altar of the Academy's chapel, praying for this outcome:

The Chapel

BGM

"Oh God, which speaks through the words of Her Holiness
grant your blessings for these undeserving children again
and let the light touch the lands where darkness reigns
In thy great name we pray."

The one who spoke such words was no one other than Anatolia, an acolyte of the clergy (unofficially known as the 5th division, working right under the religious guidance of the Imperator). She prayed as the sun rose, sending it's rays through the stained glass windows on the chapel, painting it's interior in a world of colors and shapes.

It's said that these same stained glass windows might hold a piece of a map that will lead to one of the Legend Relics. However, no one up to this day and age ever managed to decipher the code which conceals this information.

Anatolia continued to pray, unfazed by such earthly preoccupations. After all, what is the will of flesh, when treasure trove of one's soul was at stake?

"God, forgive thy children, for we have sinned...
