As Val breathed ragged, he noticed Brennen walk over to him. The Pyromancer then beckoned to Val to get to his feet, his hand waiting. Val gladly took it, but it pained him. He held on to Brennen for a moment and said, "Ribs... broken. Have to keep going. Away from forest. Need to res-" But before he could finish Zana shouted out a spell, and all around them a thicket of spiked vegetation shot up, obscuring his view from other party members.
Val looked at Brennen, "Horses. Then her and I will have a chat." Val then painfully lifted up Sanctity, and began to cut the thicket, lighting it up so they could get out.
Val was dismayed and satisfied with how members of the party had preformed. Most, he hoped, had escaped serious injury other then himself. No one had died either, so that was a plus. But he could not ignore the Fae's antics in the battle. With little warning for what her spells would be doing, she had almost gotten Val killed and then recklessly firing her spells after the battle had one, left a sour taste in his mouth.
For now, Val focused on getting to the horses, so they could escape to safer passages.
@pokemad1 I guess I did forget this, Larwen did pretty much declare war on all the gods when he first came into being. But the only battle being fought right now, is the Fae War.
@pokemad1 The war was never between them. The war going on is the Fae War, between Larwen and the Unsullied and Sullied Fae. Because Gremju and Aella presented him a gift, Larwen decided to not alter any of their creations or influence their lands for the foreseeable future.
I'm probably one of the few people who would actually let my character get beat up enough to be imprisoned. As long as it's within reason of course and makes sense. I also low-key, really like the thought of gaining a new moniker, like 'the chained God' or something along those lines. All in the name of the story!
Regulus Level 3 God of Civilization (Domestication)
&
The Corrupter
Level Three God of Perfection (Corruption)
Larwen knew what had arrived when Regulus came, flying creatures made of flesh and feathers. They were utterly disgusting, but Larwen was use to such ugly creatures his siblings decided to create. They just needed an adjustment, a perfecting, to truly become what they were meant to be. There was few better ways to make Regulus pay for his unwanted intereferance, but it would do all the same. Petty as it was, Larwen would show him how he truly felt for coming to the Anathema's uninvited.
As Larwen flew he came into the mist, but it did nothing but irritate him further. His Zalsarix would not fair well, but the Fae might. It was not long before Larwen cleared the mist, and before him sat the Ocean, a vast blue with little. He did not mind the water itself, but what lay within was the true problem, perhaps he would have to visit his Goldari and populate these waters as well. Then the Vyre, he required them as well.
But such tasks would have to wait, for he had found the Griffons, and his brother. Seemingly riding a top a large creature of the sea. It was bemusing to him, and as he drew closer he spoke in his silky tones, "You are the third God to meddle in my affairs Regulus, and my patience with you lot is growing thin. What purpose is this Mist of yours?"
Regulus let the creature speak. Though he had one response, he took his spear in his hand and threw it at the monstrosity. During this time, his griffins recoiled back away from it.
Larwen was taken back by his brother's display, he barely had time to summon his mace and bat the spear away, before it would have pierced him. Larwen thought that Regulus was a civil God, but it seemed not all of his siblings liked to talk. A tragedy to be sure, but one he could deal with. He noticed the griffins take shelter within Regulus' grasp. Was the god afraid of him? Perhaps he could use that.
Larwen smiled showing his pointed teeth, "Such aggression brother, though it does not bother me. All of you are so... hypocritical. Rebellion, fighting, aggression, these are the traits I've seen so far from the gods. All agaisnt me it seems, never able to see beyond your own hubris. Larwen paused, patting Willbreaker with his non holding hand. "I have a proposition for you Regulus. Dismiss this nuisance from my borders," Larwen motioned towards the mist, "And I will leave that which is precious to you alone."
Regulus grasped his hand, and as he did, Anhur reappeared in it. He could only stare at the monstrosity with malice. He responded by pointing his spear towards the creature.
Larwen shook his head, it seemed that Regulus was fixated upon his demise. It was clear what the God wanted. "A pity that you could not agree. Though I suppose a brute such as yourself lacks the capability for reason. Very well Regulus, your creations shall be Perfected to serve my will."
Larwen then held out Willbreaker, and it began to exude is aura of domination towards Regulus. It would not effect him, but his animals would not fair well.
At first, the griffins began to coward in the presence of Willbreaker, however Regulus tightened his grap on his spear, and it began to glow. As he did, the nearby griffins fell asleep. The Island Turtle began to experience the effects of the divine weapon, but as a more powerful creature, the effect was slower.
Regulus took out of his horn and sounded it, and from it blasted a sudden burst of fog. As that happened, he tapped the back of the Island Turtle and commanded it to move away from the mountains. It was surpisely fast for how big it was.
The Fog wrapped around Larwen, obscuring his vision for but a moment until he was high above it. He saw Regulus retreating from him, and Larwen would let him go, for he was naught but a brute of a god There little dispute taught Larwen several things, but primarily that Regulus would protect his creations at any cost and that, was a weakness.
Larwen goes on a short journey to find Griffons. He meets Regulus and talks to him. Regulus throws his spear at Larwen in response. Larwen asks Regulus to get rid of the mist. Regulus points his spear at Larwen, the message clear. He would not be having anything Larwen was serving. Larwen uses Willbreaker to begin dominating Regulus' creations. Regulus uses his horn to create more fog, allowing for him to escape, Larwen shrugs,
