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

[Suicidal Llama]

The creation.

Umbryn, lurking in the shadows, opens a rift in the plane and travels to his dwelling place; the newly created plane of darkness. There he breeds two new races the haflings, small and quick perfect for rogues and the shadows the ultimate assasin race. To the shadows he gives armor made from a metal only found on his plane and the ability to cast spells of immense power. To the haflings he gives a knack for sneaking and theiving; and quickness and agility that no mortal race has seen.

He turns to his creation, an aelf like creature, and gives it Its first of many missions in which it will grow as powerful as a mortal can grow. The creature walks away and the two flaring eyes, the only visible thing on the plane, seem to laugh as they flicker in the darkness.

Eldon the creature was called and it was a shadow but more advanced and powerful. It obeyed Its master, the god of shadows, without a thought. Its master had said "Bring me Korbin the plainswalker" and it obeys.

Albedo: First, I didnt have to instantly transport my army into Traumes realm via any portals. When I first created it, I stated that Katryra connected to Traumes realm. (I also stated that it was connected the Zhereus, which could come back to haunt me).
Also you missed two things that render your last post almost completely void. First, I had eliminated travel into my plane via portals, keeping you and the soulforge out. It is debatable wether you yourself personally could overcome my power to do that to my own realm and personally enter, but I would at least like an opposed check rather than just have you say you can. Also, I had intricately weaved the sliver into the fabric of the abyss, making extraction a long and difficult process (yes refering to gods, mortals would have an impossible time trying to deconstruct the fabric of a plane) and I am still there within my plane to stop the attempt. Thus I want your last post stricken from the record. If you want to attempt what you suggest, I want an opposed role to try and stop you. Once again shara can role for us, and I want a +2 bonus since it's my plane, firmly under my control. (Now if this had occured on Katryra, I don't know if I'd get any bonus, probably not. Though I still claim control of that plane, it is more the neutral proving ground Shara invissioned. especially with it's location between the CE abyss, LG zhyreus, and N glittering path. Most of the creatures there are Neutral natives to the plane, the demon population being very minimal).

My bad about Alyssa though, forgot about that fact. She was just the best target could think of, she's so saintly it would really drive home Tocarus's evil nature (if that hasn't been done already). So, my demons DID capture her, but she's not dead, she's where-ever her incorporal self would go.

Within a half hour of interrogation, the demon's head adorned a broken spear stuck in the ground, and the two titans made their way to Traume. They had much blood on them, most of it demon's blood.

"This place has gone to hell Traume, did you fire your cleaning service since the last time I visited?"

Traume looked up and looked grimly at the fallen god. Deaths face was devoid of all emotion and it was clear that this was not a time for levity. Extending his left hand Traume showed Jokarr the head of Alyssa that Tocarus had sent him and laughed hysterically as it seemed to dissolve and flow away into the aether

"She will return" Death spoke in tones as deep as pit "but I shall not be here. I go to face Tocarus and bring justice. I promised my children that I would comfort them when they passed from the Worlds of Life and came to me. Now that word means nothing and Tocarus is the cause

Jokarr and Tensok you have both faced the demons of hell and endured I call uon you take up arms again. I have need also of your Alchemy Jokarr for if Tocarus can not be destroyed then he shall be bound and made impotent."


The Nightwing took its first wave of champions to the entrance of Katryra facing off against the demons and other creatures now stationed there. But the demons were to face the power of the Nightwing - never before had the true power of Entrophy been revealed, for Traume had held it firmly reigned, but no more. As the Nightwing tore into the defenders of Katryra they found themselves unmade, their physical forms scattered as each tiny particle of their being was dispersed, their minds deconstructed and even their very spirits dissapated out into the background pulse of the creation. Those they came to oppose or who were caught in the onslaught were as dust before the divine winds leaving nothing but the void in its wake.

The Watchers of the Third company followed behind harvesting the latent energy that was left behind and channeling that back to Traume.

Tocarus had greatly underestimated his foe, and he realized this as the nightwing flew into the abyss, demons and fortifications disintigrating before it's very presence. Tocarus quickly was on his feet at this intrusion and called for his children. The demons halted dead in their tracks at this command, ceasing all hostilities. Tocarus glared and lashed out at the nearest group of minions, disintigrating them himself, and not painlessly as the Nightwing did. This brought his underlings back to action, and soon the howls of Tocarus's children could be heard.
From the bowels of the Abyss came bounding the most fiendishly scarred and mutilated forms tearing through the demon ranks. These were once wolve's of Tocho, captured by their former progenitor and tortured without reprieve. They slaughtered everything they encountered, knowing no friends they devoured countless demons upon their way to the nightwing. With the divine essence that flowed through their veins, they like the Gods were able to withstand the encounter with the nightwing without being utterly destroyed by it's entropy, though it still caused them exquisite pain. The Nightwing was soon surrounded by a dozen wolves and isolated from the main fray of conflict.
The demons regained their confidence at this and regrouped. They slammed into their opponent and the fighting that ensue did so without quarter. The two sides sought nothing less than total anihilation of their foe.
Meanwhile, Tocarus sat upon his throne and lifted not a hand to aid his underlings. He noted gleeful that both Jo'karr and his begotten Tensok were among the combatants fighting for him (I know this is false, but he's insane). When the god of death himself arrived through the opening, Tocarus raise a goblet of Ambrosia to his guest and beckoned him to join him, another throne appearing made of bone. "A visitor, I don't get many, Jemal has an open invitation unfulfilled. Come and join me, we have live entertainment this evening, good drink, and lots to discuss."

ooc Don't worry Tocarus sent me the head and it then disolved as Alyssa reformed - we know Albedo and Alyssa can rejuvenate, maybe that can change bodies too.

Meanwhile

Though the Cyst had been removed by Korbin, still the three things that it had spawned continued to grow, pulsating vile forms not yet fully grown and hidden somewhere within the Portal system.

A few had begun to use the system since Albedo had created the nexus and of these many had come seeking the teaching of Kerion, a gathering of disciples to guard the portal system and creating a sense of security across the Worlds

And with each use of the portals the three hidden things growing within would absorb a tiny fraction of the energy to sustain their hunger

Eldon caring making haste with his great power opened a rift in the plane and Korbin came hurling out of it from the plane he was on and eldon dragged him to his master and threw him apon a forge.

This forge was the black forge and it was the sign of very bad things. Created to suck souls from bodies and use them as power. Umbryn had created the soul forge and a pillar of pure black. The pillar had taken part of Umbryns soul upon creation to imbue it with the power to absorb souls and turn them into power which was absorbed by its creator.


For a few moments Korbins screams could be heard throughout the the chamber and by its two residents.


Then there was a laugh that echoed through the halls and into other planes for all to hear.

OOC:This part actually didnt happen because of magic the gathering but the pillar and forge still exsist.

 

[magic_gathering2001]

Korbin, fully embracing the power of thhe barrier, transports himself of of the plane to heed his new master's call. He appears in the realm of Tocarus and kneels down in front of him, "My leige I have come to serve"

 

[magic_gathering2001]

Othar agrees to Nos' idea after carefull thought using Nos' signature method of communication.
Yes I should rest, but i am curious as to how the Anchea became so powerful and how they escaped my notice when I scoured history before I came here. Also, why and how does one of them relate to me and which one is it.

Umbryn scolds eldon for failing and instead of harming him gives him immense powers and a sword and dagger sharp enough to cleave a treant in two.

Umbryn goes to shara and pleads" Othar...othar must be stopped he came from the future to stop the end of the world but i was created by you afterward to stop him; for you found a way to save the gods after he left. ...The universe will not end, HE wil change the past; accidentally destroying the future. I beg you listen and persuade not to "save" the future."


In the sky above a star forms made of pure darkness and destruction. The star is ever slowly aproaching the inhabited part of the universe.


Umbryn(looking into the sky and seeing the star): It doesn't matter what you do now i will stop him no matter what. Umbryn smiles and disappears.

 

[periculum]

The whole universe trembles in the wake of this new creation. Not a physical tremble mind you, but one on a much more base sense, felt by all the deities and sensed (barely) by those touched by the divine. A new star had been created, a massive act that could threaten the entire solar system. For this star was made not of light and positive energy but their very opposites. And it was not in a stable orbital relation to the rest of the now quadrenary? star system, it approached the center of the system threatening to snuff out the other three stars and all the life in the material plane.

Meanwhile, before Traume could reply, a mortal mage appeared by Tocarus and knelt in fealty. Tocarus grinned, here was something he desired desperately, though the idea had just then formed in his mind, a link to the material plane. "We shall have to postpone our chat temporarily Traume. Please await my return and ponder your response to my desire. I simply wish a small portion of the souls you collect, and I apologize for my previous, rash, actions, I should have come and discussed with you first. Please, wait here."
Pointing to Korbin, "YOU! FLESHY CREATURE! YOU WILL TRAVEL BACK TO THE MATERIAL PLANE AND THERE CALL UPON MY POWER. you are a great mage of report, and the barrier still weak, you should be able to summon most of my grandeur to that plane."
Korbin does as requested and the giant, incorporeal form of the deity is seen upon the mortal plane in, almost, all of his glory. He takes pleasure in the fear he evokes from the country people surrounding him, but he has more important matters to attend. The dark star is about to remove from him all his playthings. Summoning up an extraordinary effort, for this is not his normal dominion, He pushes, pulls, strains, and drags the new star into a stable orbit, so that it no longer threatens the destruction of life, but merely causes death, suffering, disease, and spontaneous undead for a good 4 months out of the year.
Exhausted, Tocarus can not maintain himself upon the plane and dissipates back to his home. Before he exits he tells Korbin, "gather the mortal forces, preach my name, and feed me sacrifices."
