Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

Vrondi

Though she was visibly upset Mirror did not tell Constance of the girls location. He smiled at her with the look of the purest of intentions within his eyes. "She is safe. And if you humor me you will see her again. I have to make sure she is in the right hands after all. Better she in the care of a band of knights than a.. loner." He eyed Constance up and down as he spoke those last words, stopping to meet her eyes. Though she was fair on the eyes Mirror's own elegant dress made her and most others appear dressed in peasantry.
@geurls
In came in a fresh white cloth Mason, the freed seraphim. "Greetings!" They cheered, not just Mirror but all of the seraphim greeted Mason. If they were the one he saved he wouldn't be able to tell. Each one of them was over joyed to talk to him. A seraphim knight beckoned Mason to sit near her and Mirror, along with Dremmick and Constance. "Welcome. It over joys me to see you up and moving so briefly. You must rest, here.. Have a drink on me." Mirror was grateful to Mason and visibly so as he stood to his feet, placed a hand on his shoulder and shoved a tall mug of sweet alcohol into his hands. He then bent down and whispered into the boys ear. "To new beginnings.." He pulled back and looked Mason in the eye before turning at the sound of something else.
@Guy0fV4lor
This Tavern was owned by Sol, yet it seemed many patrons did not have this bloodline. The festival brought people from all over to the humble corners the Sol made for themselves. None visibly showed this contrast more than the bandits whom shared Tyro blood. It was common place for a Fotian tavern to have more than a few rowdy guests. But in the cool open air and delicate natural ornamentation was the fiery dispositions of Siiga and her crew. Their rude comments and gestures were clear signs of being low class. It was a contrast to the Fotian royals who came. Who only made ways round the high class district near the castle.

The rejoicing seraphim in the room noticed the commotion. Their merriment being matched with hostility. With a displeased scowl they eyed the bandits. An Aion knight shook his head, taking off his armor and dropping the metals to the ground. After doing so he raised his head back and swallowed from his mug for several seconds. He then set it down gently. He looked up now with a drunken smile. Rising to his feet he walked over to the two quarreling sides. One likely being a Sol, the other a Tyro. "What is the matter here? I came expecting peace and relaxation away from the horrors of battle. Yet here you are bringing it within these walls. Shameful." He shook his head.

"Well said. I have to remind myself of what kind of guests I invite when I beckon everyone across the lands."
Entering the bars shadow and becoming visibly solid was the form of King Vrondi. Though made entirely of energy he seemed very close to flesh, merely with a strong aura coursing through his body. His clothes and hair moved as if they were weightless. His bare footsteps were solid as if weight were behind them. Even a sound was made on the creaking wooden planks.
@Brithwyr

"My my. So many things happening at once." Mirror spoke as he sat back down towards Dremmick in particular. He eyed the man for a moment with another passing friendly smile. He pointed towards Vrondi and leaned in towards Dremmick. "Hey uh, Y'know that's the king right?" He then eased away. He spoke frankly yet softly as if he was cluing him in on something. All the while not pressing the matter further. He simply sat and watched the King as he addressed the bad blood in the room. Mirror sipped his new mug as he did so.
@Jollan

"I am one wise enough to make good use out of a situation as distasteful as this." With a youthful vigor in his voice, despite his assumed age, Vrondi turned with arms behind his back in an elderly, yet monk like stance. "You are a bunch of youthful folk. You merely need direction. I can sense the desires of those within this room. Some hold stronger than others. It takes a strong will to command the chaotic and divine forces that make our universe whole. Of those among you truly seeking what your heart desires I offer you this." His hand raised and light began to emit in orbs in various colors.

The light made a visualization of a map of the land. A red light marked the mountains south of Vrondi. There not too far off was a cave. "Enter into the hollow depths and emerge atop Vrondi's mountain. There a ancient relic will be safely guarded. Take it and return it to me. Once you have completed this task I will have an audience with you. We will discuss what it is you desire and I will aid you in achieving this. May you band with others I will do the same for all of you. You have my word as King." As he spoke his words rang out into their minds. It was a declaration that everyone within the Tavern had heard.

Vrondi then turned to Siiga. "Does this interest you young one?" He spoke as if an elder to a child, smiling as he did.
@Brithwyr

Mirror smirked at this proposition. He looked towards Mason and then to Dremmick. "Fancy an adventure? Or is that not your thing? Sure beats sitting around. Fraid I cant go however. Got loose ends to tie up and a home to defend when the next night comes." He looked at his drink and let a frost flow over it from beneath the palm of his right hand. "I'd like to make a deal with some of you. Perhaps you'd listen and do it for me. Or you'd do it for your own gain. Either way I need someone in the Aion to go get this relic. Unfortunately I cannot spare any man power, the risk is too high with the nightly attacks." His eye lids narrowed as he appeared to have a bit of sorrow.

"I no longer have anyone I can use in my stead when times are tough it seems. But I know you're reliable.. Dremmick. By the way you selflessly saved people on the right side. Not in self preservation at all." Mirror's words were flowing like a smooth river. He turned to Constance and briefly to Mason. "You both have been a great help. With this you can help the Aion and achieve whatever else you desire. If armaments is what you need. I have you covered." He looked at them with a gentle smile, eyes darting a bit comically left and right between them.

Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

Vrondi

Vulcan watched the display of fire dancing briefly as he strolled by. He felt the puzzled expression on Sophia's face. "I do apologize. They have chosen to treat the last two nights as victories rather than a plague." He sighed. Visibly disappointed by the shake of his head. He looked down as they walked and entered the meeting room. The door closing behind him and Sophia with a loud fastening sound.

The kings and queens, and their single guardian, all watched them enter. Vrondi stood at the end of the long table whilst the others sat. Their guards standing behind them. Each of an elite royal class. Some more intimidating than others. For example Magnixx, though a beast in his own right, had with him a scarce armored warrior with a massive blade on his back, a helmet that was shaped like a dragons head, and the crest of the dragon slayer on a large chain around his neck.

Across was Queen Allo, a jewel. Behind her stood a tall lean yet warrior with armor from head to toe. Wings sitting on their back was armored as well and a large lance was in his right hand being held without effort despite its size. Her helmet was shaped like a dragon as well. Though more peaceful and acutely shaped.

Once Sophia released her aura the others instinctively flared with their own. Not as a boast but as protection. Sophia would see the different auras from the powers each one had been gifted by their blood. All elements in one place making something unique to the chaotic power Sophia wielded. Or the Divine powers she had seen during the war between her kin and the seraphim. Once she was done their own auras slowly came down. She could note perhaps that one of the Kings or Queens could easily match her best students. (Qobo)

"I believe you all heard me when I said who I am." Sophia said, looking to the ones sitting at the table.
"Unfortunately, we don't have much time to introduce ourselves properly. As I said before, there is a reason why I left the Great Library, coming all the way to Vrondi myself after Vulcan asked me to." Sophia said, with a serious tone.

"I took an oath to never interfere on your wars or conflicts. But this time is different. Something... darker..." Sophia said, looking to them all.

"It's unlike everything I've felt before. Something needs to be done before it becomes too strong." She completed, looking at every single king and queen on that table one by one.

@13org

The room was silent. Her presence gave mixed reactions. Queen Allo leaned in on the table and looked down the hall at Sophia with a pleasant smile and sultry eyes. "It truly is you. Magnificent. Many have called you a folks tale, a myth sitting on one of Gaia's mountains. Though I never saw I always felt it was true. I loved the stories of your dedication to knowledge as a child." Allo spoke with an airy and refined tongue. Nostalgia and pleasure seeped through her words, Sophia's dragon nature may be tempted with her alluring charm. "I Queen Allo Niscent welcome you." She briefly stood to her feet and bowed gently before sitting back down.

Magnixx was visibly upset. His arms crossed. "Tch." He spat under his breathe. He avoided looking at Sophia beyond a simple humorless glare. No respect to give from his corner and he even gave Vulcan a perplexed glance. Queen Tydra Nept merely placed an elegant fan of sea shells over her mouth as the room slowly settled. She then closed the fan and looked to Sophia with a smile and a greeting nod.

Down further was Sleeth Mythue. He merely sat there not looking at anyone. His "guardian" holding a mystic orb whilst sitting next to him. He merely sat with his arms crossed and did not say a word. A smirk creeping onto his face however, the only visible marker of his expression as his eyes were hidden.

"Yes. Well with welcomes aside we do have to discuss why she is here. I have seen the enemy we face up close. Last night when I was combating them I was met with great force from a masked man who wielded lightning. He forced me to take our battle else where." Vrondi paused as he began to release light from his palms that glowed with different hues. All representing their current out solar system. "We took our battle to the stars. On our moon did we face each other the most. Yet I took it even further. Eventually he could not remain and fled. Or perhaps he merely desired to divert my attention." Representations of their flight path was shown through moving lights. Out they went beyond the moon and towards the sun, further than comprehension in a short time.

"Upon returning I had my sacred armor taken and many of my warriors were slain. They seemed to target my armor. Perhaps to have a resistant edge over us. Perhaps Sophia you can think of a way we can penetrate this armor?" Before Sophia could speak Vrondi was given a telepathic message. The Aion have arrived with freed slaves. This warmed his heart and so a ball of light was released from him and vanished. Reappearing in front of the bar that Mirror sat in with the others. "A bar? My how youthful." He opened the bar doors as a shining light from the sun above before settling into his form. He wore a simple white shirt and pants whilst barefoot. Yet his body had a constant fluctuating energy that made his entire body seem weightless as he walked into the Tavern.

Vrondi still remained within the meeting room however. His clone moved about freely without him. He still awaited Sophia's answer.

Nero

The banquet hall was now almost entirely dark, ruined and bloody. Crimson decorated the walls and leaked into mixed pools on the floor. Anui watched the entire ordeal. He now gripped Lila by the arm. A firm grip but not enough to hurt her. He looked down at her with eyes seeking to read her like one does a book. "It's over. He's gone now." He spoke softly as to not garner anymore attention on Lila. "The others will grow suspicious. Lila. Come with me." As if he knew what was happening Anui took Lila's hand and led her down a hall away from the banquet room. There as they walked they were alone and their steps could be heard echoing within.

"Please tell me everything.." He said as they walked. Eventually coming to a set of spiraling stairs that led downward. A big wooden door was down a hall at the end of the stairs. Anui pushed with both hands as dust shook loose from its frame. Pushing the doors open gave way to blue hues in a dark cavern. A single boat on the water leading to a neon tree that breathed light within its fibers. Anui walked to the boat and sat within it. Awaiting Lila to come in as well to ride to the other side. where the tree awaited.

Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

Sorry for the delay. Posted.

Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

Nero

The summoned celestial powers that granted her blood divine control over light blared in the darkness a bright whirling flash. As her shield flew through the air. It was almost enough to distract the combatants. But what followed alarmed the remaining warriors seraphim and nayu alike. Down came the chandelier after a loud and bright clash of metals. The chains keeping the decoration safely above was now in pieces. Falling with the rest on a wide radius of those below.

Now having mostly fled the seraphim narrowly avoided a hit by the impact and shrapnel. The final angel taking this moment to escape with a whirling dash with his wings sending him upwards. He looked downward with bright eyes beneath his helmet, briefly as he soared through the air towards the portal, seeing Constance in the faintest of light. He smiled a thanks to her and made his way to safety.

@geurls

Mirror looked with a puzzled expression towards Constance after the chandelier fell. "Get the hell out of here already!" He shouted with urgency. Being the final warrior of the Aion within this bloody place.. the pressure was on Mirror to escape. Though the confusion left him unscathed as he soared through the air looking for Lila whilst shouting her name. Save for a few arrows he narrowly avoided. He came to a landing with ice forming around his feet. His body whirling with a cold aura from exerting himself, his breathe coming out warm. He looked up to the dancing curtains and saw in the light it gave way to Lila walking towards him with eyes... set on him.

He saw Anui walking with her as if he knew her. Her walk seemed different, her aura seemed off. He seemed to notice this as she came. His posture changing from a welcoming smile to leery glare. Mostly directed to Anui who stood unmoved. "Tool? Lila what are you saying?" He noticed her nearly hiss at him and merely looked at her disappointed.

"You brought me here, a Nayu created by your kind, the Seraphim, as a weapon, as nothing but a tool, in order to use me to slaughter my own kind? It was the first time I ever saw other Nayus... It was the first time I didn't feel like a monster by drinking blood. How cruel can you be, Mirror?" She spoke.

He shook his head. Lowering his guard as he breathed in air and looked Lila in the eyes.
"I also heard some things, Mirror... What happened with the Moriarty?"
"Enough." He spoke to her sternly. As he's done many times before. Raising her from a young child to now she was bound to recognize this tone within her soul. Yet she persisted.

"I wasn't an orphan like I was told, Mirror. I had a family... What have your kind done with them before I was taken away from Nero?" "I hoped you would see me as us, the Aion, as family.." As she bared her fangs at him the look in his eyes was nothing but sorrow. He looked down as if he had failed. He could sense she could see and that things have changed significantly.
"I have no problems in killing my target, I never had. You created me with only efficiency in mind. A ruthlessly efficient weapon, without remorse. But what happens now that I don't follow your orders anymore?" This was the final straw. He looked at her as if she had suddenly transformed into a monster. An entirely different person from his Lila.

He gritted his teeth containing his emotions. "They tried to tell me this would happen... That your blood cannot be tamed." Mirror looked to Anui who met his eyes piercing glare. "You win. Your damn blood is thicker than I thought. Lila." He looked to her now with head held high and hands returning his weapons to the front yet his stance remained open. Free. His eyes met hers. His cool blue now in her vision in all its glory. Ice, mist wings and cold all represented in the feint light. "I hope you know what you're doing. The Aion will be your enemy. I will come for you." He stepped back yet floated as he did in a weightless fashion. His body breaking apart into particles of ice and flowing upwards into the the portal before it closed completely.
@13org

Vrondi

Mason was the only slave to speak up. The others seemed to be simply relieved. Some even crying in their induced sleep. What nightmares they suffered before under their masters was now over. It was Mason's question that sparked a chuckle from a few of the warriors inside of the room. The healer above him looked surprised but before she could speak a seraphim knight came called out from across the room. He was injured and being healed. He pointed out to the others of Mason's bravery. "This man saved me. A slave saving a liberator, whilst injured. Now he wishes to learn how to heal.. Haha." He chuckled yet with a grimace of pain beneath. "You're something else."

"Well.." The healing woman began. "If you have the blood that gifts one this.. then perhaps." She spoke softly, honestly. Looking the young seraphim in the eyes. She placed a gentle hand over his forehead. "I sense you're eager for something. This drives you.. despite a history of pain. You poor thing." Her tender flesh was covered in soft green like moss. But smelled like fresh flowers. Her Sol blood allowing her insight into this boys mental stress.

The room soon hushed as the portal was beginning to close. Shields and spears were at the ready around its perimeter. The swirling energies of the portal gave way to a few of the last knights. Now was the time for the final few to enter at the last seconds. Mirror was the one to be expected to return the most. Some knew of Lila the Nayu girl he used to fight her own kind. Yet they did not wait for her. Instead they waited for the brave girl that brought the Nayu child safely through.

@Guy0fV4lor

"I assure you, that it is quite unnecessary. I am perfectly fine and can mend myself if I need to. You have many more of your own people with more serious wounds than my lack thereof to attend to."

With that said the healer left him alone. Instead attending to those who were more in need else where. The seraphim who came to him afterwards did not even have a moments glance to the healer next to him. "My name is Dremmick, nothing more, and your name?" He was clearly happy to be speaking to Dremmick. He politely returned the name. "I am Avalon. If we had more effective healers... well.. Thankfully you were there." He spoke low as to not have any ears on his speech. "Yes you are in Vrondi. The capital city as well. Home of those who seek light." With that he returned his gaze to the mystic hues in the center of the room.

[Time Stamp: 11:00 AM]

The portal vanished like smoke or a flurry of bubbles. Slowly. Then all at once. Standing alone before it was Mirror. Cold still emitting from his body. A look of sorrow on his face as he stepped away from it. Many within watching their leader in awe of what may have transpired before he had left. Some even dared to ask. Where was Lila?

Mirror looked up to his comrades and freed slaves. Child and adult alike. "We have suffered losses today. Same as the night before. We lose but we gain. We have gained freedom for these men and women, boys and girls! Dare I say..! Celebrate!" He put a smile on. One that felt genuine as he hugged gathering warriors. He was even approached by freed children and greeted them kindly. He then approached the injured and greeted them all. He came to Dremmick. "I have heard of your aid in helping us in our escape. Please come with us to celebrate!"

Mirror turned and looked across the room. "Everyone! There's a festival going on out there. Lets go! You come with me as well." He pointed to Constance. He then rallied the group of begin leaving the building. Mirror looked to the healer over Mason and spoke to her whilst smiling softly at Mason who laid below his standing position. "And you.. Once you're healed and ready to go join us at the bar. I want to recruit you for something. Chow for now." Mirror then began walking out with the small crowd of knights who were soon being met by various fans. This confusion was set back by Vrondi guards who created a barrier to keep them at bay.

"This was supposed to be a secret mission." Mirror said to Dremmick's ear after placing a hand on his shoulder. No doubt keeping his eye on the man before he could slip away into the crowd. "Lets talk shall we. Drinks on me friend." He let off him. But not until after steering him towards a bar. As he did he beckoned Constance to come as well.
"The child will be taken to our orphanage in Sunfire. You can meet her there. I certainly will be."

Large img of inside of Tavern

Within this bar Mirror and a few seraphim knights took a major presence.
"Several rounds of the freshest squeezed fermented drinks you have. Don't skip on the ferment!" He looked to Dremmick with a smirk whilst the drinks were being prepared. No questions were asked of yet. Simply a victorious aura exuding from the seraphim. The patrons were from other lands as well and were slowly being swept into it as well. They all took a seat at a few tables. Mirror made sure to leave room for Dremmick and Constance to sit close.
