Location discovered.

Bone Tower. Feral Grounds of Nero

Nero. Feral Grounds (West)

The bone tower appeared before Castiel now as the mist faded away in front of him. The mist moved like it had a sentience and crawled behind Castiel as he walked. It forever blocked the view of what was behind him as he moved onward and only allowed him to see the ever expanding barren land of bones, weapons, wandering souls and dirt. The bone tower however stood at it’s center like a temple to emptiness.

Library

The Great Library

Made by Sophia herself, this ever growing library is a wonder of knowledge. Etched into the top of one of the highest mountains on Gaia, the Great Library used to be a safe haven for anyone wishing to learn. A place where Sophia gladly received anyone who was wishing to learn or teach, sharing her vast knowledge with those.

But knowledge is power, and with power, comes greed, violence and chaos. Many started to use the Great Library's knowledge to build weapons and to make war. Going as far as to transform the Great Library into a warzone, a strategic place where rulers fought to dominate.
Crestfallen due to their actions, Sophia realized that knowledge corrupts all but those with the purest of intentions. And as such, she should become the keeper, the guardian of that library. All the dangerous knowledge stored there, all the secrets, would be better to remain hidden from.

the rest of the world. After fifty years, an order of monks build a temple around the Great Library. That temple was Mindah Taarvitan. These monks shared Sophia's love for knowledge and the objective to protect the world from itself by guarding such dangerous knowledge. Touched by their purity and loyalty, Sophia opened the great doors that guarded the library once more, inviting the monks inside. Until today, only the monks are allowed to enter the great library, only a very select few have permission to go to the most dangerous sections of the library.

Inside, it is a giant maze comprised of books, scrolls and grimoires. Without proper guidance, one could easily get lost.

It stands just above Mindah Taarvitan, on the top of the mountain.

Main Hall

Its the first thing that those who enter can see. A big hall surrounded by incredibly tall bookshelves containing books and scrolls. Its warm and inviting. Sophia can often be found there, right in the middle of the room, either in her dragon form, laying down or in her shapeshifted form, reading.

“We will hurry over to the gathering place immediately. Those who fail to be there on time will undergo.. revisions of their status. Fear not!” Wasu raised a finger to pause Paon’s building worries or so he assumed. He made sure to turn his body to face the flames and so no other but Paon could see what was happening. He reached his right hand into his chest and darkness coated the outer surface. It was clear he was not going through his own body as his arm’s length went into the blackness and returned with a golden ticket. He held it out to Paon with a reptilian smile on his face, teeth protruding from his jaws.

He seemed to enjoy speaking with Paon. “Here. A tailor resides in Nero who will make any outfit you wish for with incredible haste. Use it once we are free.” With that handed to Paon he looked over to see where the guards once were. He looked at Paon with a confused scaled brow raised. “You were busy it seems. Let’s talk about it on our way there. Though it will be brief kukukuh..” The other patrons were not so wary of Paon now with Wasu there. However their eyes were soon blackened with complete darkness.

Even Magnus would be affected by the darkness blinding all but only for a brief moment. Paon was the only patron spared the robbery of his sight and was introduced to a spectacle of Wasu’s doing. In the blinded state everyone was in he tapped at the air as if he were knocking on a door. Then he reached his hand down and a rectangle of black with black, blue, and orchid fluctuations around its edges appeared. It soon formed entirely into a solid door of ebony with horrific depictions on its engravings. It opened and a black mist seeped out that revealed another room. “After you.”

All within the bar fell in panic. But soon after regaining their sight they looked around confused as to what just happened. Their eyes set on the fireplace and the absence of the two made it clear. Alisa finished taking Magnus’s order and was on her way to the kitchen when it happened. She fell on the ground and let out a scream in panic. Falling into a table and chair was also a loud testament to her pain. She upon regaining her sight wobbled up to her feet and was having trouble standing so she leaned against the bar next to Magnus. “W-what just happened?” She asked with a breathless voice and held her injured arm with her right hand.
@Landaus Five-One

Velai and the guards opened the doors and entered the bar. All were confused as to what happened but it was clear to some that Paon, and the other dragonkin that was with him were the culprits. Suspicion of Velai and her protection of Paon rose to more questions. Soon it was Velai who was suspected as a possible culprit and so the guards remained to question her further.

Neros Capital: Shadow Gathering Hall

There within the dimly lit room was the doorway opened. After Paon and Wasu went through it the door closed with a whispering eerie creek and a sound of locking could be heard behind them. Adorning the room were candles with yellow, green and blue flames. In the center sat a statue of a kneeling seraphim. His face gave a somber feeling of anguish yet he held his weapon strong. It was a symbol of the sacrifices the first seraphim made and the core belief of the Nayu that Seraphim blood is sacred and is meant to be used as sacrifices. To devour the seraphim and have their sacrificial blood sustain them was the foundation of descended kind and this is only a continuation of that path. Within the halls and surrounding the angelic statue were bodies of other descendants standing tall, or small.

The range of assassins that arrived filled the very spacious room but left enough for all to have arm length apart. At the center and before the statue was a shadowy mass with little light able to reflect off it’s surface. The silhouette began to speak and once it did all knew who it was. “We will begin shortly..” It was the calm yet sinister voice of Sleeth Kain Mythue the King of Nero and the leader of the Dolofon. The Dolofon members, the 47 that were chosen to be the best of all the affiliates were gathering here. It was many years since they were brought together like this. Last time it was for the assassination of the Queen of Tearia, what it would be now none could know.

Wasu merely lined next to a few others who were all mostly veiled in shadowy garments. A few wore flashy attire, likely assassins for hire that take fame from their work. He looked to see the few recognizable assassins within the top ranks of the 47. Him and Paon were a part of this few. The amount of assassins who either die or simply fail their missions and are replaced happens more often than the rain. It was only the few top rankings who made it to recognizable status within the 47. The number one spot being the King of Nero Sleeth.

Rest Easy inn. Sunfire

The inn was rather empty and silent save for the whispering chatter from the few patrons at their tables. Service was understandably slow and the watchful eye of the guards made many feel uneasy. Magnus was approached by a waitress who was rather young. She was a early shift worker and didn't require the sunlight most Sol did in the mornings. She had small wings showing she was a seraphim. A daughter of Mirror just as Lila except she was made for service.
"Good morning sir! I'm Alisa! Pleased to serve you!"

Aris

Behind Magnus was Paon and Velai being questioned by the guard. Paon flashed him his identification card all whilst feigning blindness. Which the guard found a bit curious when he heard that he was seen running while carrying another. This suspicious alignment of details made him and the other guards glance to each other. "All this seems to be in order. May we ask you a few questions outside?" The guard pointed to the door where the other guards were standing ready to exit.

Velai brought her hand up and touched Paon's shirt sleeve. "My friend here was trying his best to save me and a child. Please he is hurt and in shock. Let me answer your questions." Velai knew that Paon could not be blind, but for whatever reason he hid his true nature was a mystery to her. But to repay him for his outstanding performance she caught on quick on how to be of help. The guard nodded despite a brief grimace in his face before the two departed from the inn and were visibly talking near the front of Rest Easy.

Soon after Paons shadow grew thicker under the fires light. It spread to be seen before Paon but only enough for him to see. The shadow room form under the dancing flames as a dragon head and a low laugh could be heard. "Kukukukuh.. So this is where number 13 spends his time? Rather light.." The deep but playful voice of a dragonkin emerged from behind Paon. There was Wasu and all his scaled form. He came down to sit next to Paon with a drink in hand. He sipped it as it was piping from steam. "Ahhh... what a fascinating night. It seems we the 47 of the Dolofon are having another meeting. A shadow gathering."

Wasu placed his cup on the ground before the flames and watched the hues change in color. "I have been tasked with rounding up those of you who are hard to find... So are you ready?"

Hunter x Hunter: 108 Stars of Destiny

Rain

"Rain is The name I go by."
Rain knew little as to why the hunter exams were so straight forward. Supposing it was the means of weeding out the weak he shrugged to it. It would provide great Cover for his deciphering eyes. Most who avoided the straight forward fight were not overly confident in hand to hand combat. He found this intriguing as he himself could easily be seen as a nonfighter and be taken advantage of. It was clear a team of two minds would only serve to achieve so much. He had only a small contingency plan for hand to hand against monsters such as that girl with the claws or perhaps the tribal man who seemed honed from rigorous activity in the wilds.

A contingency plan he held firm on his person that would surely surprise anyone aiming to overwhelm him. But it was best to be swift in situations like that. Situations like this required correct timing he figured. Since he found his ideal partner perhaps attaining a few badges would be a proper secondary step. Rain pondered with his spoon hanging from his mouth.

“I guess a good first step is to reveal our means of success with each other. That way we can organize our strengths and defend our weaknesses.” Rain placed the spoon in the half finished bowl and scanned the area. Besides those making a ruckus for some bonus points, which was clearly to him intended to draw out the strongest and most arrogant one, were quite various characters indeed. It was a bit sad to see what individuals thought this would be a viable thing to do.

Normies was the word for them. At least for Rain. Those who aimed to be a niche hunter. Something that did not involve killing. It was a shame to see such easy prey but. “It’s all going to be too easy once the chaos spills over to the weaker ones on the sidelines.” He mentioned this with a smile on his face as he scooped another ice cream piece into his mouth. “Then we, who seem weak, will shine.” He licked his spoon. “But that’s if it spills over. If not I may have to make it.” He turned his head to the bar and looked at the patrons who were around it. One broke some glass it seemed in preparation it was clear to see.

“I must admit I’m getting a little fired up.”
He lifted his scarf over his face to hide his growing grin. He looked away as he scanned the area. “Have you any plans yourself Brida?” He asked with smiling eyes forming from his cheek bones pressing up beneath the scarf over his nose, chin and mouth.

South field of Sunfire

”That’s enough…”

The cool waves of air surrounding the area Mirror was combating in was visible through frost caking the blades of grass and littered bodies. The mist also gave form to the dome Mirror formed around him and Nuxta. Nuxta was the possessor of the Vrondi King’s Guardian. The dome was formed from mist breaking into the air from shattered pieces of ice that were so miniscule they remained air born in visible spiraling groups. The voice of Nuxta was of a fair man who took poise and elegance above brutish demands.

Though his voice gave a demand, and echoed as it did, it escaped as silver that smoothed the ear drums. However after speaking these words the ice he was incased in began to break from within. A loud shattering boom waved shards of ice across the field with a shockwave that ruptured the ground beneath those within radius. With this shockwave the ice around Nuxta was fragmented to particles that swept a immobilizing cold upon many within the radius even wider than Mirrors aforementioned dome.

Mirror stood close by. His hair and wings waved in the wind with no control before a coating of transparent ice layered his body and held his delicate clothes and features in place. His eyes however remained untouched and blinked beneath a raised arm at Nuxta. It seemed the shock wave only served to make Mirror stand firm. The shards of ice broke from his form however piece by piece as he withstood the force.

The soldiers that were far back were still affected by the shock waves and even some of the cold that now rained down rapidly as snow and ice from above on all in the battlefield. The soldiers who held onto their hopes and kept the wall shield up felt the vibrations and debilitating cold. Many more fell from exhaustion and soon the barrier was shattered with a blade from the giant scaled woman. Her tongue flicked out and showed it was forked and purple with green venom dripping from her supple dark green lips.

Her yellow eyes searched the souls of the soldiers to find Animus. He stood among his fallen comrades with blade pointed up. A few other soldiers retained balance on their feet and chucked spears at the woman. Her blade waved them away with accurate swipes showing she had formidable speed despite her height. The green smog she had behind her flowed now forward and met the bodies of some of the fallen soldiers. The result could be described as nothing other than slow petrification.

Mirror looked back to Lila and the dragon that now was held in her arms. He had no time to deal with her blood lust right now, it seemed the dragon helped her and for that he would be in its debt. ”You’re not going anywhere…” Mirror spoke but he felt himself waver a bit. ”Not yet.. I have a few more left in me…” His head tilted forward but shot back up and ice began to form around his feet and spread across the ground toward Nuxta. ”Then More after that you bastard.”

The ice reaching Nuxta legs went but the body rapidly. The movement of Nuxta’s legs broke the ice and shattered it across the ground. ”I see..” The solemn voice of Nuxta rang out as the ice he broke free from continued to spread. ”It appears as though I must strike you child.” These words gave slow contrast to the swift long step that propelled Nuxta forward. The large armored body created a shockwave with its step and launched the silver spear it ripped from the ground while midair at Mirror.

The spear met the ground and Mirror was no longer there. He left a trail of frost in the air as he spiraled around the spear and now around Nuxtas body. Mirrors legs were missing and his lower half trailed off in the air like mist. ”Roar!” Mirror cried and the trail turned into a long slender dragon made of ice. Its head encased Mirror and as Nuxta broke it to pieces it soared high into the air. There Mirror witnessed the sunlight emerging from the horizon line and smiled faintly. ”This might as well be for you. King. ”

White Whirlwind

A tornado of ice and snow whirled with massive encompassing girth down and around Nuxta. Those in the vicinity would be blown away. Nuxta within the tornado was constantly frozen with ice and snow. However his red eye glow could be seen behind the white whirlwind. With the glimmer of sunlight reaching the field the whirlwind stopped and Nuxta was frozen once more in layers of ice that formed around the armors shape. The red glow could be seen fading away as the glistening ice reflected the hues of the sun in a rainbow array of light.

“My King!”

Screamed the voice of the large woman and she swung her blade into Animus’s, sending him sliding a yard before she dashed over the soldiers and trampled her way to Nuxta. Mirror landed from above before Nuxta and in her path. He turned his head slowly to see the large woman making her way toward him. He readied a blade of ice in his right hand as he only stood halfway in preparation for her approach. He both kept an eye on her but an awareness of Nuxta.

”My dear. It is time we departed. My sister will not be pleased if I collect In the presence of her sun.” The cool voice of Nuxta rang out. The ice laying him began to crack once more and Mirror turned his head swiftly. ”Not so fast I-“ As he prepared to strike again, the temperature dropping around him, he felt the large woman swing her blade from above at him. The wind whistled before a loud clash could be heard between Mirror and the woman. His simple thin blade meeting her large, but proportional to her, sword.

The ice sword held up against hers but the ground around Mirror did not as it crumbled beneath him forcing him to dash to the side and face her. ”Ever since my king was slain I have been in search for another. Finally I have found him. You will not get in the way of I, the Queen of the Basilisk, Ghara. Souls are what I demand and your kind on a spike.” She hissed with venom both figuratively and literally. The soldiers behind them were escaping the smog and evacuating their fallen.

Mirror gritted his teeth. This is bad. He thought and glanced at where Lila and the dragon fell. I should tell them to run. Lila.. I may die here. He smirked and held up his blade. As he did this approaching from his side was Animus. He came to meet back to back with Mirror as both held their blades. One looked to Nuxta another to the Basilisk Queen Ghara. They slid their feet forward in bracing themselves. Nuxta slowly broke from his prison this time and Ghara only watched with a gleeful smile at Nuxta freeing himself. She seemed less interested in murder than being with her supposed suitor.

All was the same however. Despair filled the air beyond the frost that gave visibility to their heavy breathes. Just then a lightning bolt emerged from high above from a few dark clouds that snuck above them all under the guise of snow clouds formed by Mirror. This blue streak of lightning landed between the four and it began to form the figure of a mans body. The lightning jolted about and then condensed to create the beginnings of a person.

After the light faded standing within the scorched mass the bolt created was A masked man who took off his mask as soon as he properly formed. Electricity still emanated from his body with loud cackles that threatened to harm any creature that neared him. ”It is time master.” His monotone and calm voice rang out before he snapped a free handed finger.

The sky, the ground and visible reality itself seemed to cave into a thin white slit in the air that opened up rapidly revealing a swirling two dimensional mass of black and red that turned into a tunnel as it collapsed into itself. The end of the tunnel was another land with various things in the background. It looked similar to a tunnel to nowhere from the sides and from the back it simply looked like a distortion. This man looked to Mirror and Animus with unconcerned eyes before stepping away through the portal himself. His body faded into particles.

Nuxta and Ghara both stepped toward each other and to the portal. With unified steps they entered the portal and both vanished as they disintegrated into thin lines that warped across the tunnel before it collapsed and closed leaving behind a loud shattering boom.
Mirror stood with Animus and both breathed with uneasy expressions. Sweat dripping from their brows and their positions not changing from their preparation to fight. It seemed surreal to them. They were… gone? Animus collapsed while Mirror fell to a knee. He looked to Lila and began to slowly drag himself towards her. ”Who is your new friend?” He questioned when in range of her sharp hearing.

Bloodline Affinities

Review the Bloodline trait tree to grasp a better understanding of what your character can do with what bloodline. For a explanation see below.

Conjuration: Each conjuration spell belongs to one of five subschools. Conjurations bring manifestations of objects, creatures, or some form of energy to you (the summoning subschool), actually transport creatures from another plane of existence to your plane (calling), heal (healing), transport creatures or objects over great distances (teleportation), or create objects or effects on the spot (creation). Creatures you conjure usually, but not always, obey your commands.
A creature or object brought into being or transported to your location by a conjuration spell cannot appear inside another creature or object, nor can it appear floating in an empty space. It must arrive in an open location on a surface capable of supporting it.
The creature or object must appear within the spell’s range, but it does not have to remain within the range.
Matching Bloodlines:Nayu, Sol, Oro, Lassa, Tyro, Seraph

Enchantment: Enchantment spells affect the minds of others, influencing or controlling their behavior.
All enchantments are mind-affecting spells. Two types of enchantment spells grant you influence over a subject creature.
Matching Bloodlines: Seraphim, Tyro, Lassa, Oro, Nayu

Abjuration: Abjuration spells are protective in nature, though some of them have aggressive uses. They create magical barriers, negate harmful effects, harm trespassers, or banish creatures to other planes of existence.
Matching Bloodlines: Sol, Seraph

Transmutation: The transmutation school of magic consisted of spells that changed the physical properties of some creature, thing, or condition. The school was previously known as alteration.
Matching Bloodlines: Nayu, Sol, Oro, Dragon

Evocation: Evocation spells manipulate energy or tap an unseen source of power to produce a desired end. In effect, they create something out of nothing. Many of these spells produce spectacular effects, and evocation spells can deal large amounts of damage.
Matching Bloodlines: Lassa, Oro, Tyro, Nayu, Sol, Dragon

Divination: Divination spells enable you to learn secrets long forgotten, to predict the future, to find hidden things, and to foil deceptive spells.
Matching Bloodlines:Seraph, Sol, Nayu

Illusion: Illusion spells deceive the senses or minds of others. They cause people to see things that are not there, not see things that are there, hear phantom noises, or remember things that never happened.
Matching Bloodlines: Seraph, Sol, Nayu
