Blaze was sitting at the edge of the platform,his eyes looking nowhere. The aftershock of the events that occured where too much for him to cope. What troubled him the most, is that no dragon he knew had a thirst for power. So, even if he inherited a dragon's blood, his actions where inexcusable. Was he a wild beast then? Or something worse. The idea of being something horrible disgusted him. Maybe it would be good to never fight again. This way he wouldn't repeat what he did.

A young boy was nearby, watching him. He noticed him a while ago, but he did not have the nerve to speak to him. He was not in the mood to talk to anyone, he just wanted to take Paco and leave this place, before he caused any pain to somebody. He looked at his wounds. Most of them where shallow and already healed. The others needed some time. Without turning he said, in a depressed tone:

"If you are lost and need help, I just got here myself. You should ask someone else..."

"I'm not lost," replied Innocentius softly. "You aren't happy, so I want to make you happy. You don't seem to want to talk, so I'm not talking." He went quiet again, but he continued to watch.

((Ugh... Stupid inability to post well with dialogue >.<))

Blaze listened to the boy speak. His tone did not have the slighest of dishonesty or malice. In fact,it was warm, a voice of crystal purity. He never met a person like this before.

The boy said Blaze was unhappy and, boy was he right. He never found himself so miserable before. However, when the boy said that he wanted to make Blaze happy and then said that he wouldn't talk because Blaze didn't want to, Blaze believed the boy was contradicted himself. He laughed faintly.

"Willingly or not, you sure know how to cheer someone up. What is your name?" he asked.

He took a step forward, the ground shattered beneath his foot, even though slightly a simple step held such force. ''I will not speak further with figures who make up point's to deem themselves as justice... There is no greater injustice than that..'' He made his way towards the dragon child, whilst his actions had been unfavorable he felt a glance of intrigue in this man. Whilst his strong feet fought the invisible chains in moving himself towards the mans location he found another youngling besides him, he'd supposedly shared the man up, whilst Conquestus' sympathy had died long ago and so had any warm feelings he'd born.

''Greetings younglings.'' He spoke out to the two of them. He noticed an aura of a beat dog around the dragon child, as if he'd realized his wrong doings and therefor forgave him, whilst normally he'd kill the man instantly he was not dealing with a mortal, but a deity, if he'd kill a deity without a good excuse he'd demolish the divine ecosystem which controlled the mortal realm.

''In normal cases I'd demolish you, you're lucky to be divine, and you're lucky that I think dearly of the wellfare of the Allfathers system..'' He stood still in his wake were small cracks in the ground which carried him forwards. ''Can I be of assistance?'' Whilst he normally didn't give away his skills to anyone, this wasn't really the regular task or day either.

Innocentius gave a small smile when the man laughed a bit. One step closer to mission accomplished.
"I'm Innocentius, what's your name?" he asked, wondering what the other man was the Deity of. So far, in this land of Deities, he hadn't found out about anyone.

Blaze's conversation with Innocentius was interrupted by Conquestus' noisy wake. Without turning, Blaze already knew who it was from the ferocious aura he emmited. He stood in front of Innocentius.

"Guess that our conversation has to wait. But to answer your question, I am Blaze...Nice to meet you, Inno!" he said, giving a nickname to the boy.

The gigantic figure stopped before the two, looking as invincible as ever. Blaze was fully aware that he could not go against him, but he wouldn't endager his new friend. However, Concuestus' purpose seemed not to be a battle, but it might as well have been. The words he spoke insulted Blaze, because he felt like he was spared because he was supposedly a deity. He raised his arms at shoulder's length.

"I am not one of the Deities you just spoke of. If ynu want to kill me because I incurred your wrath then so be it. I don't have something to lose!" he said.

Then he turned his head to Innocentius.

"Don't worry Inno, I will not let anything happen to you!"

''Fool! Do not speak of battle so lightly!'' He roared.at the boy. ''Do you know of the experience where you are forced to kill endless numbers without end, the greatest pause of all ended within minutes. I've killed children and women, fathers and mothers. I've layed waste to entire families, all because I am what I am. I was forced to bare the burden no one else could carry. You have no right to speak of warfare so lightly, and when I give you another chance you shall grab it!'' He continued, his rage was not directed at the boy, but the allfather, he felt his chains pull greater and the ground he stood on started to crack and break. It was at such an incredible force that he almost kneeled down to the Allfather whom obviously controlled these Chains, however he glared at the sky in retaliation, standing up to the greatest of his ability. Suddenly the millions of chains became visible and he was pushed down into a kneeling position at a very quick pace. ''Your accursed chains.. They will not bind me forever!''

He struggled against the chains to stand up again, he succeded untill the force became increasingly unbareable, yet he managed to stand up, the allfather must've respected his final stand because the chains' force began to weaken and their appearence started to fade into invisibility yet again. His fury was unmatchable at this stage, however his stand against the deity above all forced the allfather to respect his anger. He continued to stare at the beautiful sky, seemingly staring through it, to the ends of the universe.

Blaze was not sure if Conquestus' words had a tone of remorse, or he was just explaining his burden to him. However, he couldn't help but sympathize with the Deity, despite listening to the atrocities he had commited. Of course, he knew that such power would have an even greater cost. Then the Deity's movements changed, like they were forced. There was something that seemingly pulling him down, no matter how much Conquestus struggled to go against them. Blaze wondered what happened. There was nothing that seemed to hold the Deity down and he couldn't even imagine him be held down by anything, anyway. At one point, he wandered if the Deity was demented from the endless slaughter he had caused and imagined everything. However, he was immediatly mistaken, as millions of chains appeared out of nowhere. Despite his valiant effort, the Deity of Conflict surrendered to the seemingly unbearable force that made him kneel. The sight ended with Conquestus muttering:

"You accursed chains...They will not bind me forever!"

Once again, Conquestus struggled to go against the chains that held him and somehow managed to stand on his feet. Blaze empathized with the now silent Deity who stared at the sky. He was the second person he met with a burden proportionate to his powers, the first being Evangeline, albeit his was greater. The Deity looked up to the sky and Blaze hypothesized his stare was directed to the being that made him suffer. After seeing all this, Blaze was convinced about what he wanted to do. He turned to Conquestus and said:

"You may consider me insignificant, I may not have even a fraction of your power and you are right, I don't know a thing about mass-scale slaughtering, even more if you are forced to do it. But now I know why you suffer and I know what I want to do. I swear on my pride, I will do whatever I can and even more to end your suffering and help you gain your freedom!"

Then he turned to the sky and directed his voice to the figure he assumed that placed these chains on Conquestus:

"No matter how strong you are and what is your purpose, if you think that obligating someone to eternally kill for whatever reason is your justice, then my justice is to set Conquestus free and smack you one on the way!"

Even though he knew that right now he might as well have been provoking an omnipotent being, Blaze did not regret it at all. He was disgusted by the crazy logic of the All-Father and he was ready to do whatever it takes to free Conquestus.

Innocentius (or Inno) came out from behind the tree he was hiding behind. He hadn't wanted Blaze to fight, especially after he had lost the first time, but Blaze seemed very presistant, so Inno didn't try to stop him. He would have only gotten in Blaze's way. However, the fight seemed to not have happened. There was a lot of talking about some very huge stuff, but no fight. Inno gave a sigh of relief and wiped his for head. Another fight could have been disastrous.

She walked through the halls, humming small lullabies she has listened to over and over again in people's dreams. When small infants are in their mother's arms being drifted to sleep, one of her favorite 'All the pretty Little Horses'. Her humming turned in to words as she sang through the large halls where the soft words echoed against the walls, and the birde chimed in. She smiled as she began to twist and twirl around the open space, the temple was truly beautiful. She then looked out of the window, staring out to the open jungle, wondering when she would find the courage to step off of the temple and out in to the wilderness.

She then became distracted by a scent, she could smell the warm spices and sauces drizzled over cooked meets and other veriety of food. She quickly followed the scent until it opened in to a large dining room, she wasted no time to make herself a plate of some red meat, and bread with a glass of what seemed to be red wine, which made sense. These were the usual things offered to gods. She sat herself down in the empty room and began to fill her stomach with the most delicious food she had had in a long time, but then she soon wondered... who had cooked all of this? Were there others here that she did not know about.

''You truly are a fool.'' He stated, however his fury was slowly fading, his eyes still staring beyond the skies. ''But your will is in the right place...'' Whilst said this his body started to fade into oblivion once again. ''I will return...'' His body then instantly turned invisible, he found himself in his Fortress Cathedral in the pocket dimension of which he finds much purpose.

Blaze found himself caring for Conquestus' well being. In fact, he was worried if he would be all right alone. He was amused of the irony that he empathized with the one responsible for every conflict in the multiverse.

"I must be crazier than I thought..." he murmured.

With the Deity dissappearing, Blaze once again turned to Innocentius. He was hiding behind a tree. Blaze considered him blessed for not wanting to take part in any fight. He wished he never had to fight too, but he knew it was impossible.

"You can come out now! It's safe!"

He waited until the boy got closer and continued:

"I am thinking of setting off once again, want to come?"

Xabiz wakes up in the middle of the Atrium. I passed out? ... Explains why no one is here... Xabiz thought, standing up. He wondered where everyone went, taking a walk to the temple entrance. He witnesses the giant statue of a man, Blaze and another blond haired boy... talking, perhaps? As if on a whim, the statues movements became more rigid, almost forced. Seemingly out of nowhere, millions of chains appeared pulling the statue down to kneel. Where do the chains spawn from? Who controls them?

"Your accursed chains.. They will not bind me forever!"

The words echoed in Xabiz's head, his mind showing him the Future. The gemstone glowed slightly, signifying the truth behind what he sees. The statue's fury directed at a being above him. And, gone from this existence into another. "The Allfather..." Xabiz whispered, not knowing who that was, only a name the statue directed his fury at. Xabiz wished to talk to the statue, whatever his name and purpose may be, to learn more about this 'Allfather.'

Xabiz turned and entered the temple afterwards, slightly light headed from the vision he was given. He felt the need for food and then smelled some from further in the temple, following the scent to the dining room. Xabiz fixed himself a plate before noticing that a woman had already begun to eat at the table. "My apologies. I didn't notice you until now. How are you?" Xabiz said as he took a seat at the table across from her.

"Where will we be going?" asked Inno curiously. There seemed to be a lot of people going to the dining hall, maybe they could go there and have some dinner. Inno was also kind of wanted to scout the outer part of the area. It seemed that there was a large amount of territory at the bottom of the tree, but how would they get there? Innocentius had a feeling there wasn't an elevator. Hopefully there was some sort of magic teleportation system, because he really didn't feel like having to walk that many stairs. Not now, not ever.

"Well, obviously, we are going to an adventure...Personally, I have some things I want to settle, but it's gonna be fun! We can meet new people, explore new places and find out more about the whole Deity thing we were dragged here for! But first, we should grab something to eat! I am starving!" Blaze said in a joyful tone.

He was pretty hungry, but he had another reason he wanted to go to the dining hall. From where he smelled the freshly-cooked food, he also smelled a fragrance. Evangeline's fragrance. He rushed to the dining hall before Inno and found her there. The wolf-guy was also there, eating alone. Blaze approached Evangeline.

"Once again, I am sorry for the trouble I have caused you because of my fight with Conquestus. You may not want to listen to my apology, but I am planning to depart shortly and that's the least I can do...After eating, I am going to leave, so bear my presence for a while longer."

With these words, Blaze sat a few chairs away from Evangeline and started eating, displaying the formalities, instead of savagely eating, like many might assumed, because of his dragon status.
