"Ilyndriel....I'll see what I can do with that hope of yours." As those words are spoken, everyone in the room, save for Ilyndriel, feels as though their feet are bound to the very floor itself. They would find that any effort to move on their part is useless. However, if they were to look down towards their shadows, they would see that they're connected with Michael's own shadow, seeing that as he moved his right hand to block the incoming knife from Khaine toward Maka, so would they. Michael looks right at Khaine, smiling at the Dread Lord. "I hope you can forgive me for my brief interference, milord. I want nothing more than to be your ally. Allow me to give you proof of my honesty by allowing you and your opponent some privacy..." With that being said, Michael warps the shadows in the room once again, creating a dome that seals off Khaine and Maka from the rest of the people within the area. Once this make-shift arena is complete, he simply releases his control of Khaine and Maka's shadows, allowing them to move freely once more.

Michael turns his head to where he can see Ilyndriel from the corner of his right eye. "You have my most sincere apologies...if I had tried to stop Khaine, it would have only led to even more bloodshed than necessary. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me..." He repeats.

Well, there are a few RPs I wouldn't mind recommending!

Demon Shards

@KatherinWinter

Don't worry. Consider that form of theorizing a one-time deal. ^^

I'm doing quite alright. Been trying to get back into RPing. It's going well so far. How about you?

Greetings friend!

Demon Shards

@Arakadin@KatherinWinter

The info that was spoken of within that post COULD be seen as major, but that's only if what he was saying is true. As far as Taka is concerned, what he said was just a "hopeful theory". This means that he's taking into consideration that he could be entirely wrong about the situation as is. For all Albert knows, Taka could just be crazy for thinking what he said could even be a realistic possibility.

Michael clicks his tongue at this senseless act of violence, deciding it'd be best for him to put a stop to it. The tactician simply takes control of the shadows within the room, warping them to the point where a sharp spiral forms right below Doom, puncturing through his chest at lightning speed, pinning him to the ceiling. "If you knew any better, you'd stay right where you are..." He states.

Demon Shards

@Arakadin
Taka laughs at this suggestion, the very idea of falling into a vat of toxic waste making him grin. "That's definitely a new one. I can understand you not remembering making contact with the shard. However, my ears don't lie to me. Thanks to my shard, I can hear the pulse of other ones of the same nature. Think of it as a natural radar. The closer I am, the louder it is. In this case, it's rather loud, but at the same time, it's being kept inside somewhere. Is it possibly a locket, in your pocket...or maybe it's inside of you, using you as a vessel? In any case, it's safe to assume that these shards aren't normal. I'm willing to bet they came from the war between angels and demons. If this is the case, then not only are there people with "fancy powers" like mine, by there are also more classic ones out there, such as super strength, super speed, and the power of flight...but that's just a hopeful theory of mine." The well-dressed man chuckles, running a hand through his hair. "My apologies. I've been on my own for so long, it seems I've forgotten that it takes two people to have a conversation." He states, smiling.

Staying with his gut feeling of staying on the sidelines, Michael warps over to the side of what seemed to be a winged child. He felt that it may be necessary to safeguard from all the present danger for the time being. Having experience as a father figure, he kept her behind him in a defensive stance, reading to parry any possible incoming projectiles or bodies that would be flung their way. "Don't be afraid. I'll do what I can to protect you from harm. May I ask you for your name?" The tactician inquired.

Demon Shards

@Arakadin
"Albert, hm? A nice name. I'll be sure to get it memorized." Taka remarks as he straightens his tie before leaning his back against the wall, hands now placed in his pockets. "There's no need to be so nervous. I don't want to hurt you. I simply came to talk to someone who I felt was in the same situation as me. Considering how I'm able to utilize smoke and channel it through my body, I believe I'm what's known as a Conduit. If you don't mind me asking, just what power were you "gifted" with? Did it come through a shard as well?" He asked. He wanted to know as much information as possible before Albert decided to get into the fight or flight section of his anxiety.
