[IC] Ever Dream, The Worlds of Life (Closed)

[Albedo]

"Why do you fools believe you can stop me?" U-DO laughs to himself, "The rift is not what is going to bring it here. The portal just sent it the message. It needs no assistance to get past your foolishly planned defenses. In one years time, my package shall arrive. And there is nothing you can do about it."

 

[Albedo]

"Oh, and by the way, your Black Star shouldn't have done that." U-DO points to the great monstrocity, which has begun to cease all functions and go into a comatose state, "This wasn't a sphere of annihilation or a portal you fools. This was linked directly to the sword. By interacting with it, the Black Star had all of its power drained from it by the artifact and now hangs useless in space. Though I am sure someone will fix it sooner or later, let this be a warning of trying to interfere with the swords power. It yearns to be complete and nothing shall stand in its way. As for the rift, the rift would have collapsed in on itself in exactly 4 days time, so all of your efforts never mattered in the first place."

 

[Jochannan]

Jo'Karr embraces Alexandra for the first time in more than a century. They wander the feilds and meadows of Zhyreus, seeking quiet solitude where they can enjoy eachother's company for a while. Days go by, and finally Alexandra confesses to Jo'Karr that she is finding godhood not all that it is cracked up to be. She admits having trouble controling her power from time to time, with those incidents happening more and more often. She fears that she might cause harm if things remain as they are. She asks Jo'Karr if he could take up the mantle of INSPIRATION once again. Jo'Karr comforts and councils her for long hours, until at last he does agree. They embrace, and Alexandra begins to transfer her divine power to Jo'Karr, and the two are shrouded and obscured by golden light. When the light fades, neither Jo'Karr nor Alexandra remain. There is a new being, a tall silvery man with great, white feathered wings. His face is softer, younger seeming than Jo'Karr, and he bears no scars or battle marks upon his perfect metalic flesh.

"We... we do not understand what has happened..." Says the new God in a deep, almost stereo voice.

"Those idiots have destroyed the black star, now a new one must be created." Umbryn screams into the dark.

Again in the sky a dark star appears causing darkness as a star sheds light.

"They should not meddle with that they no not of."




"This time meddling with my star shall cause dire action; and those who meddle shall pay."
He pauses.
"The old dark gods will be pleased when i use their old tricks."

"The black star will give great power and gifts to those who use it.

"Eldon we are to mine the black star metal when the extraction is complete"

OOC: Albedo, you are breaking rule 2, you can not undue anothers post. The black star was also a creation of great destructive power same as the sword, and sucks energy into it, including souls and powers transportation via bending through parallell universes (if I'm interpreting it correctly). That is how it and the rift destroyed each other. If you want to maintain that the rift was connected to the sword, then the sword was also destroyed in the act.
You similarly overstepped yourself by contradicting Endovior in saying that the rift would not pull us in. You just can't do that.
When someone messes up your plan, find a way to work around it, don't just negate it.

IC: A gentle breeze graciously blows some leaves in front of Jokarr, giving a simblance of modesty.

 

[Suicidal Llama]

The shadows are an elite group of assasins. They carry no weapons but their fist though they can use any weaon due to their high strength. The metal from the black star grants huge strength and power; the shadows now wearing it are the perfect way to gather souls.
By going into the world and killing their ability to drain souls comes in handy. After killing the soul is sucked into the black pillar increasing Umbryns power.

One night they go into several worlds collecting souls in their usual manner and before dawn retreat to their home plane to watch creation wake up in hell on earth where thousands have died in their sleep. Silent nearly invisible and the strength to jump and knock down any wall or house they can destroy an entire kingdom in one night. However to night they had a light killing only a few doven in a town or city depending on its size.

 

[Endovior]

ooc: indeed. also... you're now acting against multiple gods. stand down.

Endovior is uncertain about this 'Black Star' business, but he empowers it with his magic, to spite U-DO.

He then moves to the Second Star, and begins working. He taps the powers of Chaos, and creates a new race... of tiny but fecund beings, appearing as tiny glowing points of light. He names them the Devourers, and sets them to favor the 'taste' of U-DO's energies. Then, he releases them into space. They drift throughout existence in a cloud, moving through Portals to fill other all planes. As they go, they munch on creations of Divine Magic, especially those made by U-DO. Any divine essence sustains them, really, but they will harass any god they come across (deadly for them, of course, but annoying for the god they target).

-End Result-

Any act of a god left unattended is likely to fall to swarms of Devourers, becoming useless. U-DO, wherever he is, is plagued by them. They are no THREAT, but they'll unravel his works in short order if he's not actively concentrating on them. Also, they're really annoying... like a cloud of mosquitos. They're spread throughout existence, so they can't ALL be killed... and it's HARD for a God to kill lots of them, in any case... they feed of the energies used to kill their bretheren as easily as any other. Endovior has left a single flaw in the design, which allows a simple (but SECRET!) warding to keep them at bay. He proceeds to protect himself with it, and his surviving Artifacts.

 

[Albedo]

OOC: I didn't break any rules. I didn't undo Endoviors post, nor did I undo the act of the star. First of all, In order to alter what Endovior does, he would have to actually do something. He didn't. He said something, meaning its a matter of his Gods OPIONION, and opinions can be wrong. Second, Endoviors post was him telling me what U-DO did, not me telling what U-DO did. In essence, if what he said was to be considered an action, then he was trying to control my actions. No big deal, all I did was warp Endoviors perceptions of the event. If U-DO can screw up and collapse a universe, then Endovior can screw up and misread an event. Especially when dealing with an artifact that Endovior has no knowledge of in the first place. Technically, he has no real right to decide what happens when I use my artifact, so its not unreasonable that his god would misread the results. Now as far as the star is concerned, I have two points. First of all, the star consumed the portal, not what was behind the portal. The sword didn't all out consume the star, but merely drained its energies while it ate the portal. This means that the truth is there is no way the star can effect the sword when its focusing on the rift instead. Second of all, I would like to point out that there has been alot more effort and power put into the sowrd (In story) than there has been to the star. I think its kind of unfair to say that an item that suddenly pops up gets to be stronger than one that has been constantly improved and empowered. The amount of energy I have dumped into my sword exeeds the forces put into the star, and so it should win out. And on that particular note, my Sword has nothing in comparison to the star in the first place. Its very job (and at this point its ONLY job) is to drain energy. The star isn't quite so specialized and thus should not be able to beat the sword. As much as you would like to complain I'm undoing what you all have done, please take into account that your all trying to undo what I have done first. Someones gotta play the badguy, so don't be giving me a hard time for trying to do something nobody else likes. And don't even get me started about how your character instantaneously interferes into a matter that they couldn't know existed since it just happened when they interfered and only Endovior and U-DO knew about it. You even magically heard the conversation. But I don't really care about that. All I care about is that you think you have the right to call foul on me when your doing some pretty rediculous things yourself. Now that I got that off my chest, lets keep going.

As for Endoviors stand down comment, facing off against multiple gods is the whole point of this. I'm being the antagonist. Frankly, there isn't even a storyline reason there should be multiple gods, since last time I checked I only acted against you. But the other gods appeared, so now I'm just dealing with it. I'm not going to back off due to the irrational actions of others and my origional plans stay the same.

IC:U-DO, not really caring about the pests that swarm around the universe looking for him keeps dissapearing and re-appearing in places that the swarms of Devourers are not currently occupying. His connection with the universe and his use of his omnicience talent that Endovior dislikes so much allow him to go relativly unmolested by the creatures, and since his only possesion in the world is the sword he carries they pose no threat to him.

 

[Daia]

OOC:How long something has bee developed doesn't necessarily determine how powerful it is, plus the nature of an object sometimes is more pertinent than it's power. A single teaspon of oil won't create a very big bang, but it will ruin an entire barrel of water. That is why I chose it, a device that powers travel between universes, to plug up an interdimensional rift, and their properties resulted in mutual destruction.
Also Endovior's was more than mere statement, for it was he that said the rift formed in the first place and therefore gave him precedence to state what it was he was having form, whether he formed it or not. Yes, it formed as a result of your actions, BUT YOU DIDN'T FORM IT.
And our actions havent been aimed at undoing your actions, they're aimed at countering them. theirs a difference. I enjoy the sword story, but it is behaving a little one sided. IT IS ONLY YOUR STORY, which isnt right, we should have an impact on it. But everything we do to it, you say didnt happen, or cant happen, or happened this way instead of how we intended it. YOU CANT DO THAT.
As for how I overheard and saw what was happening, I've been playing my god as having a very wide breadth upon the material plane. As the god of luck she spreads herself pretty thin upon that plane covering as many places as a deity can, which is a lot, and flittering about constantly. Thus it is very likely for her to be aware of anything that happens upon that plane. I might have overstepped myself before on other planes though. But you're not the one to scream omniscience, U-Do, you've played that before too, and Luck is just as all encompassing as Balance.

Shara (Ligth, Life and Wisdom) @ Zhyreus

Tensok speaks to Shara as she stands before him.

The Goddess smiles as she looks upon his lupine form. His strong muscles and shaggy mane glisten in the soft light of Zhyreus.

"My child, you have no forgivess to ask. You are mortal. You are balanced. It is us, as the Godlings of Everdream, that choose what side of balance that we shall strive for. It is mortals like you that help to bring balance to Worlds of Life.

You have all of the tools that you need, Tensok, child of the Wolves of Vengance - progeny of Tocho. There are slivers of your father and the wolves in you. Remember the moment of your birth."

She smiles and the ambient light grows brighter and brighter and in a flash Tensok find himself a few miles from the place where he was borne unto the Worlds of Life.
