Tower of Enacra
Month TwoShe very nearly wept for joy when the goddesses appeared,
"Thank the Immortals." She muttered to herself in relief. Tears stung her eyes even if they didn't fall.
"Thank you so much for coming," she said, surging forward and throwing her arms around Yuki in a hug. It was beyond out of character, even more so considering the woman was a goddess. Hannah released her quickly, stepping back and noticing the other girl for the first time. It wasn't Claire, so Hannah had no idea who she was, but it didn't matter.
"We need your help." She said, desperation in her voice,
"You must find Boreas, he'll know what to do."The platform rocked, swaying haphazardly on the sea that stretched out all around them. A gust of hot air hit the area with enough force to send the doors swinging wide open, revealing the crowd of Fae within the marble tower, huddling together and speaking in hushed voices. The doors flying open prompted a baby to begin screaming, which turned everyone's heads to make sure everything okay. The mother, a woman with elfin ears and red eyes clutched the bundle tighter to her chest, whispering quietly.
A flash of light from the top of the tower caught Hannah's attention, suddenly she knew time was up.
"Find Boreas!" She pleaded, before turning and running into the tower. A spiral staircase near the back was her destination, a way up to the top of the tower where the Sorcerer who owned this place lived. Suddenly screaming and the sounds of battle began to echo throughout the tower, and an explosion blew a hole in the fifth floor, cutting off access from the stairs and raining debris into the sea around them.
Hannah gaped, the tower was protected! Quickly she tested her own magic, which immediately failed her. She couldn't access it at all. Her Human form melted away like ice in a fire, leaving her a four-armed half-snake at the bottom of the stairs. Around her similar magics failed, horns grew from heads, skin turned red or purple, eyes glowed yellow, a werewolf even fully transformed into a humanoid-wolf form. How had this happened? Who could cut off magic so completely?
She spun around, eyes seeking and finding the two goddesses still on the platform. They would be unable to leave if magic no longer answered them... her plan had failed, and instead she had trapped two goddesses on this rock in the middle of nowhere for who-knows-what to find. Her heart sank, but she unsheathed her four blades and prepared to defend them, they were their only hope of finding out what had happened to Occus.
"Prepare for battle!" She called, injecting false confidence into her voice. The mother and her baby, now quiet, retreated to a dark corner, the rest of the Fae gathered around the base of the stairs, preparing for what might come down.
Amgetoll Forces
Sha-Brytol, Earth
Month Two"Our people have returned?" A female Urtok in elaborate orange armor asked. "Affirmative." A voice muttered reluctantly from somewhere behind. "Then deploy legions, find our targets, and begin the siege." She commanded, approaching the glass that offered a view of the blue and green planet below.
At her order eight large ships ejected from the space center. One would land in North America, one in South America, another to the place where the two continents joined. One would go to Africa, one to Europe, and one to Asia. Another would land in the Middle East where the three continents joined. The last one would go to Australia.
Large energy canons turned toward the surface, and satellites with similar weapons equipped were ejected to surround the planet. Soon they would begin firing on major military, economic, and scientific centers. The Humans had refused to return Amgarrack to them, and now the Urtoks were beginning to think it was because he was already dead. A debate was starting up about whether to fire on civilians as well and wipe out the toxic race before they spread beyond the solar system.
Old Gods
Earth Realms
Month TwoThunder boomed overhead, and from the sky a massive sphere descended. A storm clouded the skies, eclipsing the sun, the moon, and the stars in every realm all at once. The immortal homes of the deities were plunged into obscuring darkness, hiding everything from view until it was right in their faces.
@Trevor1001@SlendyArtemis, Ares, Athena, Aphrodite
Olympus
Month TwoA silver arrow, giving off it's own dim light, suddenly appeared in the gloom. And then it was flying at Yato's head. A wild boar, it's eyes red with unnatural rage, came charging out of the darkness and charging the young God of Fortune. Then another form came hurtling from the fog, a beefy man in golden armor, equipped with a large spear and a shield of unidentifiable metal. He moved to impale the so called 'God of War' with his weapon, a snarl of rage on his face and his eyes too were unnaturally red.
In the distance fighting and shocked yells started echoing in the nothingness, a familiar voice was shouting orders; Athena. "Aphrodite! Bring that one to me!" Never had such hatred and cruelty been heard in the woman's voice before. Screams began calling out from that direction, clearly answering why Athena had wanted that person. "Traitorous daughter! Your heart will bleed for eternity!" A final choking scream echoed before nothing more was heard.
@BlackPanther@ZelosseIsis, Sobek, Horus, Set
The Underworld
Month TwoSomething about the Underworld made it more difficult to access, so the storm's darkness did not reach this place, not that it would help, but the invasion of the Old Gods went ahead anyway. Armies rose from the depths of the dead pits, damned souls sentenced to an eternity of punishment shaking off their shackles and turned bright red eyes to their enemies. Joining them were their leaders, the Old Gods. Isis appeared from a portal, Sobek at her side. She flung volatile magics at Alec before he could register their presence, and Sobek's massive jaws snapped at the cthonic god threateningly. A portion of the army invading this part of the realm followed through the portal to engage Alec's closer minions.
Horus and Set, well known enemies, made excellent partners in the hunt. As the ghostly soldiers of fallen villains were marshaled to slay all who opposed them in the Underworld, the two gods were tracking the one known as Thalios. Two carried war scepters and rode chariots, crossbows layered with enchantments at their sides.
And then they caught his trail, the chariots jerked to the side zeroed in on the god's location, and the two hunters pulled crossbows to fire at him as they approached. Their red eyes were lit with cruel delight.
@rechonq@CuccorulerIdun, Sif, Hel
The Nexus
Month TwoBefore the direction could be given, the black fog turned the realm into nighttime, and red eyes leered from the darkness. Hel loomed before them, her visage a mask of fury. A magical attack was flushed from her fingers, seeping into the ground and rotting away the nearby living things. The ring of feath inched towards Landon, Cia, and the Gatekeeper. Sif, clad in armor and two short blades in either hand lunged at them and swung every which way, the sharpness of her swords reaching beyond their physical form. Idun stood near the back, behind the two ladies. Her very presence seemed to make the others stronger somehow.
Very few of the old gods gloated, or challenged, they simply attacked with ferocity and endless hatred.
