The waters continued to splash against the shores as the group inquired Gardevoir on many things. His steps took him further toward the tower of light. He stated to Marque, "I understand you all have many inquiries, and with good reason. But you really must not stay here." Gardevoir glanced back at Bastian with a concerned countenance and remained still. Then he sighed in resignation, turning toward him, "The Wolfborn are beings of another realm. One where all flame has been snuffed out. I controlled your fire to provide safe passage here. That tower is one way out of here. So, if you would like to leave, please follow me." Gardevoir turned toward the tower and resumed his rapid pace. Clearly in a hurry. Marque felt impatience come from his master. Not a feeling Gardevoir gave off very often.

Lorenzo mounted the enormous hound and questioned the strange man. The dog moved at the pace of Gardevoir, immediately to his left. Lorenzo felt every step of the dog. It had a powerful stride to it, but obviously could be fast in a flash. Gardevoir did not avert his gaze from the tower for a moment and replied, "As I mentioned earlier, they are perfectly well. Waiting for us on the other side. It would take far longer to explain so, if you please, let me show you. There is an entity of great peril here. I narrowly escaped with my life. Please hurry!" Then he turned toward Marque while walking and pulled out a unique mask. Gardevoir handed it to him and stated, "It will come in use.."

Afterward, they continued in silence for a few tense minutes until everyone was about a third of the way toward the tower of light. Then they heard the faint whistling of wind far off drawing closer every moment. The dog turned its head in that direction as Gardevoir called out, "It draws nigh! Fly you fools!" Gardevoir began to run toward the tower. Suddenly, an icy gale screeched over the group pushing them toward the water. Col and Bastian remembered the feeling well. The very same coldness they felt in the Glittering Wood. The freezing wind blasted the party for ten agonizing seconds. In its midst, they could distinctly hear the screams of an otherworldly terror.

Before the group descended into complete hopelessness, Gardevoir drew the key necklace from under his cloak. It glowed bright red, releasing a firey warmth to everyone nearby. It helped eleviate the coldness, but not completely. It was like a campfire after a plunge into a freezing lake. Then, out of a dark cave in the rocky cove, a terrifying being emerged.

It had skeletal, elongated limbs and was grainy in appearance. As it exited the cave, it stood fully upright at nine feet tall. Parts of it were missing. The environment around the entity appeared to shift into the same grainy texture that it had. As if the world rejected its very existence or that the entity rejected it. Then it stared at the group through two hollow sockets with pale white light.

"There is nothing you can help with here. I shall hold it off. Now GO!" There was an urgency in Gardevoir's voice that Marque had never heard before. A reddish glow began to emanate from his staff and left hand just as his key did. Lorenzo's mount backed away from the entity and whined as it turned its head for direction.

The entity raised its arms outwards as a forceful gale began to blow over the group once more. The screeching winds continued yet strangely, the warmth from Marque's key negated much of the cold they felt from it earlier. Even its power was limited, giving the group more maneuverability then before. Gardevoir strained as the wind blew his cloak and hair forcefully. Yet he remained steadfast. There was still a ways to go before the tower of light yet...

Captain Cedric D. Boone - Cannon Castle XI

Cedric stirred from his unconsciousness with Bill's booming voice. Boone grunted in discomfort and looked around confused. Had no one cared that he played on the ground? Then again, that was a position they saw their captain in more often then not. Cedric sighed, rubbing his temple and looked for any source of alcohol he could find. Then he gave Feya a thumbs up stating, "The battle is yours to win Feya.."

Replying to @Platinumskink

After hearing the voice of Creep Swarm glanced at Firefly with a quick nod. Then with a demeanor of a man who felt out of place he replied, "Uh, hello there," Barry stated glancing around for the origin of the voice, "I am a structural engineer and was looking for work. I am gifted in designing buildings' infustructures. With the Rockers recent expansions I felt it was in our interests to offer my skills before someone else did."

Still glancing around, Swarm unzipped his backpack and pulled out a set of blueprints. They looked legitimate as he placed them on the receptionist's desk. "These are simple drafts and I can edit them to accommodate your plans.." He shifted around nervously, as if he was in a dangerous job interview.

How did they go?

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

Before he could react, Judah was slammed against a barrier of lethal force. He flew backwards into the wall behind him still clutching his weapon with a death grip. A loud crunch echoed in the room as Judah's body bounced off the wall, making an indent in it. He fell forward onto his stomach gasping for air. His Kevlar vest offered some protection against the impact to his vitals and spine. Even still, he bled from his nose, head, left arm and leg.

Judah struggled to lift his head and good arm toward Sonika. Pain shot up through his bleeding leg and arm. Anger boiled up within him. It was either that or give into the despair of defeat. Judah would make them work for it.

He released emotions of blinding rage toward his opponents. The type that would make someone abandon all measures of self-preservation in primal aggression. Then Judah fired off the remaining rounds of his weapon at Sonika from his prone position. His hope was for her to abandon her defensive assault and be tagged with 9mm holopoint ammunition.

After the bullets had whizzed toward his opponent Judah struggled to his feet. He grunted in immense pain from the effort. His left arm hung uselessly to his side and his leg hardly held any weight. Blood trickled down from his wounds. Rage still swelled within him and all around.

Then Judah tossed his pistol to the side and ceased all emotional influence at once. He spat blood onto the ground and offered a challenge through labored breaths, "You're nothing...without your power...fight me..hand..to..hand..." Judah shifted most of his weight onto his good leg. Then he raised his right arm aggressively toward whichever opponent accepted his challenge.

"Pure blood sport. Like the gladiators of old. The only out being the death of enemy or yourself. What a way to go," Judah thought to himself.

Referring to @Platinumskink

Gabriel glanced at the receptionist and replied with a wide grin, "We are looking for Creep. We've heard of the great lengths in which she has gone in order to make The Rocker's a respectable establishment. Is she available?" He continued to smile at the receptionist as if she was the only one in the room. For all they knew he could be there for a job. With those fine clothes an invester. Even an angry parahuman with a grudge. Anything was possible.

This time, Swarm would not be caught unawares. Slowly and steadily he lifted many dust particles in the air with telekinesis in a 15 foot radius around. Firefly was aware of this tactic from interactions with Swarm before. It would help to reveal any invisible figures who were hiding from view more easily. As dust was displaced unnaturally, spies could be found...

Responding to @Gardevoiran

The wall exploded to Judah's left followed by the door behind him being knocked off its hinges. He instinctively covered his head with his hands and got down to one knee. Axel barked in fright and cowered next to his master. Then, out of the debris stepped some of The Community's heaviest hitters. Sonika and Xolotol. There would be no escape from this..

They informed the duo that Patriarch wanted a word with them and Judah knew it wasn't to discuss the weather. They had pissed The Community off, royally. Was there a way out? That's when Farce spoke up. At first, Judah grimaced. Not wanting to see his friend fall along with the rest of them. However, as she continued to speak, the pieces of her plan formed together in Judah's mind. She was blackmailing them into keeping her alive with Limbo. "Brilliant." He thought.

When she had finished, Judah gave Gaia a knowing look that had a twinge of sadness in it. Axel growled at the intruders, determined to tear them to pieces with a single command. To his surprise, Judah only patted Axel lovingly until the growling subsided. Then Judah directed him to Gaia with a command, "Go boy!" His canine companion hesitated for a moment, but then did as his master ordered, sitting directly at Gaia's feet. He whimpered quietly as if he knew something the others didn't, instinctively.

Judah slowly stood upright, not wanting to surprise the intruders with any sudden movements, yet. Then a thought entered Farce's mind, "Goodbye, Gaia." Suddenly, with all the emotional power he could muster, Judah released a meteor of terror directed at the two intruders. A fear that could bring even a courageous man to his knees. A fear that felt like death itself. With a strangely calm voice Judah stated, "You will have to kill me first." At the same time he drew his 1911 sidearm. With a single motion he fired at Xolotol three times before turning his attention to Sonika and unloading the rest of his magazine on her.
