A True Sacrifice - CLOSED

Ian Marcus, Archon of Gravity

Ian watched as Vanth was pulled from the room, a puzzled expression on his face as the invisible force pulled the other man away. He shook his head, turning back to the task at hand. An empty door-frame appeared in front of him with dark mist swirling within, clouding his vision of what may lay beyond through the door. He turned back to the others to see what they thought of the situation but to his surprise he found nothing but an endless white void with no one else remaining but him. He was alone.

After a few moments of thought Ian decided that the only course of action would be to go through the doorway. The Voice had spoken of a prison and a time limit possibly to escape from said prison? It was most likely some sort of trial and he would need to get through it as quickly as possible in order to get out of this place. He took a few steps closer to examine the frame before finally shaking his head and entering the door.

After what felt like an eternity, Ian stepped out of a similar dark doorway into a grand hall made of pure crystal that shined with reflected light from a roaring fire. The trial had been difficult for Ian to complete, playing against his fears and the weaknesses of his abilities. It had felt like an eternity that he had spent in that black void. He noticed two other dark doorways that he could only assume the other two archons would enter through. It seemed that he was the first one out. At the end of the hall there was a large crystal throne with the crystallized figure of a woman sitting on it looking towards the back of the room with a frozen expression. "That must be the final archon" he said out loud, making his way across the room towards her still form.

Okay everyone we are going to get back on track. Let's make a plan. Tomorrow I will begin working on a post to get my character through his trial for the crystal archon. The other two with me should do the same. Everyone else play around with your powers and socialize until the archon is recovered and then we will time jump past the training into the first mission. Sound good to everyone?

@Barioth

Any kind of natural metal would be okay. I suppose you could control magma as well but only if it is already present. I would suggest discussing a conjoined effort between you and @jersh to come up with a way to implement the creation and use of it in a combat situation.

Also, I need some help from @skai, @mirrodin, and @seerofnone with the following post.

Prospective post:

Post 8

A sliver of thought was more pronounced than the rest: “We should leave. This is growing pointless.”
<Vanth’s agreement / disagreement>
17 and Vanth stood together, drawing the eyes of the silent room. <Vanth informs the room they're headed to train and then learn of the temple’s secrets. Maybe Aella brings up the library as a good place to look. Ask Ian and/or Haven if they will join their company.>
<Where or not they agree, we continue to the training rooms>
17 began toying with his powers on the way there, seeing what he was able to do to sound. He could feel the expanding and compacting of space against his skin as the sounds of their footsteps reflected off the walls. He pushed back at them mentally, causing a louder second echo. He smiled mouthlessly beneath the bandana.
<anything else happen on the way there? People asking about the headphones?>
Upon arrival, all four stepped into the room. It shook violently, then the large room became even larger and created their first trial: the Trial of Chronus. The room exploded with sound as the group of four suddenly began slowly spinning. The brass floor extended to the walls in a series of spinning gears and mechanisms. A fan on one end whirred violently, while the other end sounded like sparks were flying across a corridor. The group of four froze and took in their surroundings when a voice started speaking above the volume of the grinding and ticking.
“I am Chronus, the first of three Guardians for you to encounter. These prisons were designed with you in mind, so please, waste no time.”
A clock at the top of the room began slowly but distinctly ticking.
“You have one hour.”

@NefariusDestiny

We should go ahead and do this to retrieve crystal. We need to move on to training and the other chapters. @Skai@seerofnone

Ian looked at each person as they spoke, nodding to each in turn. When Vanth mentioned the archon of crystal Ian couldn't help but pause and think about the situation, A thoughtful expression crossed his face and he nodded slightly. "I'm glad everyone has decided to be a part of this. We need to discuss our next step before going any further. According to Lupus we will need to train and hone our abilities if we are to have any chance against Thanatos. I think that is a good place for us to start. For tonight we will explore the rest of the temple and find this Archon of crystal that 17 and Vanth have heard from. If one of our own needs our help than we should find him and do what we can to help him. Do you have any idea where he may be?" He asked, looking between 17 and Vanth.
