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

[Jochannan]

Tensok walks to the place of his birth, finding each step more difficult than the last. Anticipation, regret, and hope swell up in him, making each step an eternity, and over entirely too soon. When he arrives, there is a black cloaked figure leaning upon an intricately carved metal staff, with angelic runes running the length of it.

OOC: Think of it this way: at least I'm not the one messing with your creations this time !

 

[Wrahn]

Nos's presence makes itself felt as Shara dismisses Tensok, I imagine that I owe you something of an apology. When you crafted this existence, my belief was that you were retarding your own development by cocooning yours self in this existence.

I still believe that, but what I see here has a value that I had not originally anticipated. I perhaps unfairly compared you to Volkrath and Volkath, but as you are part of both, you are truly neither and enlightenment comes at it's own pace.

But I am afraid my presence here my be a destructive influence. There are those that seek to learn through power rather than enlightenment. They seek to know without knowing and I am afraid my withdrawl from here will not stop it.

So I have come to you to propose the creation of a Far Horizon, a barrier that will redirect those who seek to use power to see beyond what exists, to move beyond what exists, to a place at the edge of existence where they can be properly prepared for the "What Isn't" or turned back if they can not be.

But as you are aware, by influence here is limited and what I am proposing would need most of all to be able to redirect someone like Tocho, should another try to know without knowing.

With the aid of Othar, I have gathered an Anchea, but I need for you to give it its name. To whisper with the voice of creation and give it the form of the Far Horizon. While Othar may be capable of doing such, it is your right to do so. If you are willing I will show you the moment at the edge of nothing where the Anchea is and where the Far Horizon needs to be birthed.

After the departure of Tocarus, having repaired the breach and even restored the original sliver, Traume rested, the shadows thick about him. His Watchers worked to restore the damage that had been caused, rebuilding the realm and marshalling the spirits of the deceased. Allysa is there alongside the First Mother Avial offering assistance where they can and the souls of deceased heroes have been raised up as stewards in the Place of Rest.

Umbyns Assasins
But the death and loss of so many souls roused Traume from his slumber he gazed out in concern at the absence of so many. Thats when he saw the shadow assasins killing and draining the souls that should be setf free to travel the Glistening Path. After so much suffering already amongst the dead this is but one more indignaty. He calls to Sojobo

"Send word to Kerion, his Tienkou are needed in the Worlds of Life"

The War Zone
At the convergence of the Portal System a battle raged. But this was no invasion of enemy forces, it was a competiton between disciples. Ever since Kerion had been installed as guardian of the portals brave disciples had begun to gather around him and to learn from him the Arts of Combat and Free Motion. Human, Aelv, Fey, Watcher and even Lycanthorpe had gathered and taken upon themselves the discipline of the Tienkou. The Tienkou taught discipline of the iron spirit, how to move without motion, it taught mastery of body mind and spirit and it taught one how to find tranquility amidst confusion. When they were honed and tempered the Disciples would return to their homes and teach others the Discipline of the Tienkou in readiness to defend the Worlds of Life.

Today the disciplines meet in combat moving with impossible speed and grace and above them the Guardian watched. It is there that Sojobo appears

Othars Request
The effort to rebuild progreses rapidly but still the impact of the invasions and thefts are visible. It is thus not an opportune time when Othar appears upon the Glistening Path with his demand for a soul.

"I need a soul Traume, and quickly before U-Doh finishes." Othar demands and Traume is not impressed.

"Can the Souls of the dead find rest nowhere?" Traume replies "these are the souls of mortals Othar, they are the progeny of gods, not a commodity to be traded and abused at will. They have already suffered at the hands of Tocarus and now are stolen by assasins in the night. I will not give you the soul of any creature here - go find some other means of opposing U-Do's insanity"

 

[Albedo]

OOC: Part 2: Alrighty, now we are getting into things. First of all, Endovior created the rift as a result of my actions. So what difference is their in me saying the black star was ruined as of the result of your actions? Now, as for the me saying things didn't happen or can't happen, as much as Endovior would like to say that a rift is created by my sword, he has no clue what the sword does. Its kind of like me saying all of a sudden the black star erupts pink bunnies who fly all over your god and kills you. Doesn't work. He made a storylinme that was counter productive, especially for a God who is working for the universe, and since he never actually took any actions I was able to correct him. Problem solved. As for what you can and can't do, the only time I said you CAN'T do anything is through the boasting of a God. This is what your not realizing. What a god SAYS isn't set in stone. Gods can be wrong, gods can be arrogent. What I can't undo is what a god DOES. And as for the aimed at countering my actions, please take into account that all I am doing is waiting for something to come through at this point. I haven't really done ANYTHING. There is a storyline for people who are trying to stop U-DO who are actually trying to figure out a good way to do it. Jo'karr (or whoever he is now), Albedo, Tensok, all of the powerful Titans are taking action. The storyline is expanding. Now as for the star destroying the sword. By the properties of the star that you yourself just outlined, theres nothing saying it can destroy the sword. The swords destructive powers too have been documented, its what it does, and while you can destroy the rift caused by the sword, which is somewhat in the realm of your star being something made for interdimensional portals and such, how do you explain a reulting destruction of the sword itself? Simply put, the sword, on contact with the star through the rift, would drain the star before it could do anything to the sword. And the sword is not picky on what it eats, so frankly theres nothing in that star that could give it an upset stomach. Now as for you saying the nature of your weapon gives it more power, I don' think so. My sword itself annihilate planes, contains the power of an elemental created by the explosion of an entire plane and has reached the point where the ONLY thing in the universe with enough energy to get it to its next level is a god. Your is just a toy for travel between universes. But the most important fact still remains, your star (as was stated by you) specializes in transportation. My sword specializes in energy draining and destruction. No Contest. Now, as for you being involved, as far as you like to say your stretched pretty thin, your still forgetting one very important point. You have never even MET U-DO. How can you explain a character you immediatly appears out of nowhere and starts a vandetta against a being that they haven't even met yet. You didn't come in to see what was going on, you didn't inquire with anyone else, all you did is rush in and try to screw up U-DO. Storyline wise, its a pretty biast thing to do. The only reason why I bother to point all this out is simply this, you claim I'm abusing the rules when you do it too. Nobody else really seems to care. You only spoke up because I countered your attempt to counter me. You never pointed out that what I did to Endovior was wrong in your opinion when it happened. It was only after I did something about your character that you cared. So lets put it all down to this. Endoviors rift thing I couldn't allow to be because it is counter productive to the god who did the action. Doesn't work. Your actions I couldn't allow to go unstopped because your not just countering my actions, your halting the whole storyline. In order for us to have a story line, that thing has to come through at this point in one year. If you want a part of the storyline, thats fine with me, but I'm not gonna let you cut it short for no reason. As for the rules, it still seems nobody else cares, so whether or not you agree with me, and whether or not I agree with you, drop it. Whats done is done and there isn't going to be any changes made as far as I can tell.

 

[Albedo]

Albedo, after gathering all the information on U-DO he needed, began long hard studie to find out what could fell the god. After a long series of sleepness nights, Albedo stood up and walked over to his messengers. "Send word, to Jo'karr, to Tensok, to Jemal, who you should inform of U-DOs part in his capture, and if you can find him, Endovior. I might have just discovered a way to stop the mad God once and for all. Tell them to all meet here. We shall have the first Council of War in our fight against the insane one."

 

[Jochannan]

A great cry errupts from paradise, as the Devourer swarm descends upon Zhyreus. The creatures seek out the remnant of Jo'Karr's divine power latent in all angels, left over from their creation thousands of years ago. While this power is no longer what sustains the angels, the devourers do drain them of their divine magics, and renders many technologies integral to their civilization useless. Whole cities are left without power, advanced weapons cease to function, flying fortresses crash to the ground. The angels launch a massive war upon the things, but they seem to multiply like rabbits... actually, more like rabbits high on Chemical X. The newborn god Joxandar is forced to flee in order to protect the shield and amulet of Shara, and unfortunately the Devourers drain the magic from his kilt, leaving him exposed. He flees across the dimensions seeking Endovior.

 

[Suicidal Llama]

OOC: I just want to say that the blackstar(the old one) does not control universe travel but was more like a package holding a piece of something and the star itself has power of destructoin, chaos and strength not travel. Not that this matters since it was destroyed anyway.

Umbryn now growing in power because of the absorbed souls decides not to risk his next move and instead send the second star into his own realm mining it for more armor creating more soul sucking assasins. The star is then put back into the sky once again sucking in light itself for power and reforming the metal that was mined.

Eldon now weilding powerful weapons and strength boosting armor was quickly gaining huge amounts of power.

Again but this time more fully assasins are sent into the world killing for souls as a farmer harvests crop. Thousands more die in their sleep and it appears none can stop the shadows from overtaking the world.

OOC: Please keep all huge out of Character posts in the Out of Character thread. Also who were you talking to in your last post Me Llama or Daia.

IC: Othar responds to Traume, "I feared so but could not help but ask."

He then shifts his presence to where Shara and Nos are conversing,
"If you decide on this Far Horizon you will need something as powerful as the current gods, that will keep the Horizon, using the Anchea may not work because as you have seen not all gods use the divine spark as it was meant to be used. We could sacrifice the Anchea and hope it works, or I could and would take the place it and deflect those who aren't ready. Also this would help deflect the agents intrest in our multiverse. Thanks to Umbryn and Albedo the agents must have discovered us by now"

 

[Suicidal Llama]

"Othar If you are insuch need for a soul you can have korbins"

And there held in a stasis was korbins revived soul which was restored by soul restoration magic. However it was held in place away from its body.

"However it will come at a price"

 

[Jochannan]

The emissaries of Albedo are forced to question whether they are under some sort of psychodelic halucinatory effect when they arrive at Zhyreus. The plane is infested with pretty, flying balls of light which seem to be at war with the angels. As they make their way through the streets they find children playing with the lights, and adults swatting them with every blunt object they can find. Huge, pyramid shaped flying vessels launch hails of energy bolts into the Devourer swarms, causing huge flashes of multicolored lights in the sky. Some angels try to cast spells, only to have nothing happen, others launch fireballs and lightning bolts at the glowing invaders. Entire cities are abandoned to the Devourers, and others have massive 'swatting' campaigns of extermination. The whole scene is absurdly hilarious, seeing an entire celestial civilization brought to its knees by harmless little balls of light. The Malkavian messengers go unmolested, as they are carrying no divine artifacts. They eventually learn that Jo'Karr is gone, that he is somehow changed into 'Joxandar', and that this 'Joxandar' has fled to find Endovior. They return to Malkavia and report to Albedo.
