Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

Gaia / Town Pearl

It was when Ami came down to introduce herself did she garner the attention of the Taxis. Her translucent luminescent wings gave them eyes of wonder. Barely a time a magician or entertainer bore through this town and word had been spreading rather swiftly through the Taxis high ranks. Of which one was inside. Of how a born healer, blessed with the well guarded blood of a high seraphim in Vrondi's castle, had been tasked with a group to purify the lands from Nuxta's curse. Almost immediately she was shown hospitality and allowed inside. Though she was warned for sake of her mind. "The conditions of these men and women are much worse than out here." One Taxis healer spoke. Her white gloves and cloak stained with splotches of crimson.

Outside things were much better soon after Lynn began to heal with her water magic. Few in the Taxis could match a simple yet effective remedy. Lynn was soon nicknamed "The walking potion" for her control of liquid, which to the simple people of Pearl was relatable to the liquid in a potion. Finding many of their injured and sick recovering swiftly many were allowed out of their sick beds and back into the town. A few made their way to the strength competition. Much too weak to participate beyond applauding their closest kin.

Within the walls of the Taxis building many were laid out on the simple stone floors with beds sprawled out with about five feet of distance between them. Others were elevated on hay bed and some were kept covered behind a veil. Every healer inside wore masks and Ami was offered one. It was similar to a beak in shape. Once she had it on she was allowed to visit the injured. Her visible aura was a spectacle and some questioned if she should be allowed inside. A distraction for some healers, but a mind soothing sight for the injured. So she stayed.

The worst being behind the veils she was motioned away from there. Though if she found herself unwilling to obey she would find the unsound body of one of the towns warriors. A large body beneath bandages that were stained with red and black. A rotting disease staining the ends of their stumps with a dripping ooze. Death was mercy for one in such a condition, one would think...

Savvan's Inn

The Bard's words made the waitresses think. For they were simple town folk and he was a seasoned traveler. Though speculation was soon tossed his way. He chuckled between his strumming. "I am glad your prejudices are so low in this humble town. But I've seen my share of Nayu in my time in Nero's city. This one is unlike any I've seen. A dangerous omen. In these times its best to be sure." He was nonchalantly playing while speaking, smiling even as he observed their reaction. The two girls looked at each other and then sighed, more customers were coming in. Some that were fresh from being healed and needed serving. There was little time to ponder on the bards words.

It was not much of a wait yet it had taken its time. Pipping hot bowls of Venison soup, with freshly picked vegetables and mouth watering herbs sprinkled within. Raquel held the two bowls on a large wooden plate she held with her right hand. Balancing it a bit over her head as she effortlessly strolled with it towards Garrett. She placed the wooden tray down gently. Off loading the bowls rather quickly, the soups contents swimming inside. Raquel took the wooden tray and laid it neatly against her lower waist. "Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask." She said with a smile and a humble bow. Her mind wandered before she thought to leave, visible from her eyes looking down nervously and her faces hue growing warmer with blood. "And after you're done maybe you can tell me what adventures you've been on. It's a quiet town, not much happens here... Well, enjoy." She turned quickly and walked away hurriedly. The expression on her face a mystery to Garrett.

Once he or any other customer needed servicing she would be by to help them. Merely wiping tables over and under, each one having a clear shine to them thanks to her efforts. Bending over and gradually wiping with circular motions whilst humming to herself.

Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

Gaia / Town Pearl

Lynn was met with a curious expression. She was not a Taxis or a Sol so her ability to heal was questionable. But assuming she was capable of something she was pointed to the injured who were in pain. Healing magic soothed their aching wounds and constant supplies of light magic required a greater source of energy than water. Various injured inside the outside tents were free to be helped by her. Even replacing bandages and bathing the crippled was recommended if it wasn't too much to ask.

---

"Here's your drink sir."
A waitress briefly made her way by Dremmick. Placing a full cold glass with a fizzing brim on the table. Regardless of taste he would find the drink refreshing and one of the best brews around. She went back to wiping tables and other duties around the inn.

---

"Little Raquel, is that really you lass?"

The waitress looked up at the man who filled in the doorway. Many of Oro blood lived in this town and their height made their doors much larger than norm outside of royalty. Her eyes lit up. Looking up at this man brought back memories of many years back. Her fondest memory being his daughter. If she were still here perhaps she would be a waitress here as well. She touched her cheeks in a nostalgic glee. He was always a large man, Allard. Strong enough to carry many of the towns children on him even as he worked the fields with the other farmers. "I-I'm glad to see you.." She was taken back though. The last time she heard of his family they were attacked and enslaved by Therosi. None ever returned from such a fate and by his looks it was not easy getting back. His entire family was gone though.. and she could hardly bare to ask the hard question of where his daughter was.

So she gave him a friendly warm smile and bowed gently. "Please make yourself at home. Well you are home." She chuckled softly looking to the side nervously. "I'll bring you one of our specials. Have a seat and enjoy yourself. I'll be back soon." She said assuredly. Walking over to the other guest who signaled her attention rather immediately. He too was a tall man much like those native here. But unlike the usual Oro, with some Dragon, Tyro, or Lassa blood. He seemed to exude a Nayu's presence. Yet it was questionable how large he actually was beneath his armor. No doubt he came in on the same wind as the other man who placed himself in a corner seat and seemed to have his mind on something or other.

"I'd like two hunter stews. Extra venison."

On the first order Raquel jotted down his order with haste. "Alllrighty. Now will that be all?" She admired his choice a bit. A simple wild game meal rather than what was domesticated on their farms. Lean muscular meat in the form of easy digestible soup. A hunter's meal when they wanted to feel at home. A rare treat for the mountain dwellers to warm their bellies with up high in the frigid air. She was awaiting his desired brew, though he did not look like a drinker.

"The time you're off of working today, Raquel, would also be part of my order."

"Eh?" She let out. Simply blinking in surprise. She tilted her head in thought. "Well." She looked to the ceiling briefly, taking her paper to his lips. "I work until I'm tired. Or needed else where." She eyed the open windows of the fields. The farm work was light today and though she kept busy as a waitress she was beckoned back to it more often than she liked. "I have orders to place with the cooks.." She said her mind returning to her duties. "Excuse me please." She said softly, folding her hands to her mid waist and disappearing to the back. Returning briefly to the floor and speaking with her fellow waitress. "Quite a bit of foreigners in our midst." Raquel said to her nodding co-worker.

"They have a bad aura to them. Best stay away darlings..." Said the bard between his strums.

Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

Nero Capital City

Debris fell from high above. Near to the halfway point that led to the great ceiling above. Pieces of stone fell on homes and caused immediate injury or worse to the residents below. This being its lower district the poorest members of this city were harmed. Their simple market streets buried in clouds from the hurtling boulders wake of destruction. It was a sight to behold from the upper districts. A dark beast rising from the grave and trampling on their city like it was its play thing. The windows shattered. People screamed in terror as they tried to flee. The gates were soon filled with people trying to escape and the upper districts found their ranks swelling with the low class.

"SAY SOMETHING!" Lila shouted, looking to Anui.

"Please... Say something..."

"You... promised... me..."

Anui could hardly stand to look at Lila. Yet his gaze was cold and emotionless. Years of training to suppress his emotions has led to this facade of uncaring. Though it not being his intent to watch the tears fall from Lila without a word spoken. Only the elders had power here. He was merely here to observe, since he was directly involved. Even this though was likely planned by his mother. He began to wonder. To display his silence to her. To display his obedience to the courts and how little power his love for the young Nayu girl was in their presence. Yes indeed love is fragile. She thought. Crossing her legs to her tears and folding her arms she could only shake her head at the utterly raw display of affection. For most Nayu within Nero such public displays were met with music and poetry. Not vulgar and ugly as they believed it were.

But Anui did not think so. He grimaced a little. His hand gripping his chest. A discomfort he was not used to. Could hardly bare. A wound he felt that cut deep. His mother's hand gripping his to comfort him. But he lashed out in a gentleman's manner. Grasping her hand with his free one and slowly removing it as if a unwanted advance had been made. Unable to fully contain these new emotions he lowered his mothers hand away from his with a grip that was a tad too firm. This made her eyes go remain frozen in mental shock.

"Silence girl!" An elder shouted. "If you won't defend yourself then this will be short. Guards take he-!"
As they spoke the ground beneath them all began shaking. Even more so the castle was rattling. All could feel the presence of a tremendous force vibrating their city to life. Dust and small portions form the ceiling began to fall. Those within the room looked around in panic. But Anui swiftly stood to his full height and leaped from his position above Lila and landed before her. His coat, decorated with several dozen sets of black feathers, danced in the air as he swooped down. Embracing Lila and enveloping her in his wing like coat.
"I'm sorry.. But we must go." He looked up briefly to see the guards helping the royals escape. But his mother was soon before the two of them. "She is to be placed in a cell!" Anui bore his fangs to this. Venom drops as crimson as blood were on their tips. "I wish to have a council with the King!"

The earthquake continued. Yet Anui and his mother's convictions remained strong.
It was only the guards who remained that directed them to safety and took their minds off of their bitter conflict. Anui quickly summoned a portal of darkness beneath him and Lila. He was falling with her in the void. Finally appearing at the Castle's peaks. Outside of it but near an open balcony. High above they were to observe the destruction occurring below. Anui was in shock and awe of it. But he immediately gritted his teeth after. "I have to help defend my kingdom.." He said. Stepping down onto the balcony. They were in a armory room. But a private one so it seemed. A bed and mirror inside for sleeping and grooming. It had Anui's smell all around it. He took off his coat and grabbed a suite of light armor, placing the gauntlets on first.

"No. I will be fighting to. To defend OUR kingdom Lila." He spoke softy. Applying the proper knots to the threads that held the armor firmly in place.

---

A new conflict had arisen from the depths. Just as the King of Nero was stepping into his chambers, having just arrived from Vrondi he was seldom prepared for an attack. He was soon briefed on what was happening exactly.
"When delving into a tomb found below the city a Dragon was awakened." He was simply told. He scoffed. "That's IT? I suppose it HAS been a while since I've last slain a dragon. Something that brutish king of Fotia would be salivating for by now. I will show him how it's done..." Stepping from his throne and down the fresh red carpet was the King. Soon followed by shadow elites of various origin and of independent caliber, save for when called by the King. Armored from head to toe and wielding his scythe the King stepped into the gaping maw of the gateway of darkness.

Emerging from the embracing tunnel of shadow mist and having it vanish behind him after doing so made the King look like another soldier filing into the ranks of Nero's defenders. He stood before the wreckage and rubble. Beneath the terrible roar of the hungry dragon. In the middle of a line of Nero's guards and soldiers. The Elites at his back and his scythe held in one hand. He held a gentle smile on his lips. His aura combined with his army of at least fifty visible soldiers. More filed into the surrounding area. Evacuating injured and forming a line around the battle field. A gaping hole in the ground disallowing most to go directly beneath the flying behemoth. Yet chains were thrown form the shadows. Over a hundred of them flew to the Dragon, attempting to wrap around its body and pull it down with the other world awaiting on the other side. The chains emerging from the infinite depths of the void each chain thrower conjured, to bind the beast with strength beyond their own.

"Wall it in."
At his command magical barriers of sound and darkness were formed in a box like formation around the damaged lower district. Visible to the naked eye and created from over a hundred soldiers. The remaining ones would run up the chains. Elites leading this charge. Gracefully stepping up the chains like tight ropes with weapons amplified with shadow and poison. As they made their way high above arrows shot from all angles came flying at the Dragon from below. Massive arrows meant to slay their most common foe, Basilisks, now used for general Dragon slaying. Launched from giant crossbows with multiples on each and their tips shining purple from the deep magical poison enchanted onto its surface. Sleeth stood above all of this with his Elites yet to budge. His smile and demeanor remained undaunted. It was clear to him now. He had been wanting something to do beyond politics ever since leaving for Vrondi and this, though distasteful, was a matter far more exhilarating.

"If you serve Nuxta I'll have you tell him how wise it was for him to save the best for last..."
