Sekhor:

"When I said my father, I wasn't being entirely truthful. I knew Izekiel as well." Sekhor found a particularly comfortable looking bump on the floor of the tent and plopped down onto it.
"My father and I were there when your father was born," Sekhor thought carefully about the next part of his explanation, silent for a few minutes. Just as an impatient Mordekai began to ask for further explanation, Sekhor interrupted with, "My father and I knew your grandfather through Zanzarino, the Overgod."
Sekhor leaned forward, his voice taking on a serious, almost menacing tone, "Now, answer me true, did your grandfather ever mention the Masters of the Elements to you?"

I was going to have the final meeting at the barracks, but Xanriel and Sirenes are already at the dining hall, so I've changed the meeting place to the dining hall instead.

But really, I don't feel like doing the departure scene at all. I think I'm just going to jump to the part where we march off to war. Anyone who really wants to do the farewell dinner scene can do it.

Editing in progress.


The Legion of Darkness. It was a magnificent and terrifying sight. Thousands upon thousands of vampires, demons, shades, and other beings of Darkness marched together in synchronized motion, resembling a massive ocean of black when seen from above. Many walked on foot, while some rode on mounts resembling black panthers and wolves; some of the fighters sat on large demonic beasts, while others soared in midair, either on the backs of black dragons or flying on their own. The entire army radiated an aura of dominating power, dark and all-crushing. With Incarnate's entire army gathered together, the Legion of Darkness was ready to obliterate anything that stood in its way.

At the forefront of the army was Jonathan, his draconic black wings spread wide, and his obsidian armor gleaming under the half-light of the Eclipse. His blood-red eyes glinted savagely, as he looked at the Dead Marsh that was still miles away. Beside him, Nyxia was clad in her black leather fighting gear, a deadly assassin shrouded in darkness. Without looking back, Jonathan could sense his friends and allies behind him, all intent on helping him destroying his most hated enemy.

Mordekai:

Zanzarino! Mordekai's mind stops just as he hears that word. The Overgod. Everyone knows about him, but at the same time, no one does. It's just a name. A figure of speech, even. And I didn't even think he was real... until that day...

"Yes," said Mordekai. "Yes, he did. My grandfather only mentioned him once, though. On the day before he left and never returned, he told me that he had something to do for him. He wasn't very specific about it... he just mentioned it fleetingly. Then, he walked out of the door and we haven't seen him since.

But wait... Zanzarino is real?"


OOC: That was fast. :) Can we start beating people up?

@Icy: I'm not finished yet, but we can indeed start beating people up.

In fact, the beating will start... NOW! :P


Miles ahead, Jonathan could already see the vanguard of the army of Death. Similar to the battalion led by Mavros, the army of Death consisted of swarms of skeletons, zombies, ghouls, liches, and other undead monstrosities that Jonathan felt too disgusted to name. The undead moaned, hissed and gasped, walking forward in haphazard disorder, completely lacking the aura of deadly power and elegance of the Legion of Darkness. The hordes of undead only knew how to destroy the living things in front of them, and their only strategy was to throw enough bodies at the enemy until the enemy was no more.

Twisting his mouth into a savage grin and baring his fangs, Jonathan snarled a battle cry that was not even remotely human-sounding. His black sword glowed red, an aura full of hate and malice. Pointing the tip of the blade straight at the hordes of Death, Jonathan shouted a word in the ancient language. Then, almost immediately, a massive sphere of roiling black and red destruction hurtled toward the undead horde.


Off to dinner...

Sekhor nodded, almost laughing. In his day, there was no doubt of the Overgod's existance, he was simply there, behind the curtain, making everything -- well, almost everything, work smoothly. Of course, that was before the False God's came to be.

"Yes, Zanzarino is real. He created the false gods, and, almost more importantly, he turned men like your grandfather, my father and then myself when he died, amongst others, into the Masters of the Elements. Mortal Men able to control the very fabric of our universe, the 12 base elemental forces, and manipulate them to our own devices. He lead us in a war against the void, and, if I'm not mistaken, he has called upon a new generation of Masters. I believe you are one of the new Masters. The Master of Gravity. I have only seen one other man with the power to create gravity wells, and that was your grandfather."

Sekhor thought back as he told the story he had dreamed of a thousand times.

"It was hundreds of years before you were born, even your father, when the battle with the Void first started. Your grandfather was not the wise man he would come to be back then. He was brash, headstrong, as unrelenting when he set himself to a goal as gravity itself. Back then, your people were a mountain folk, constantly waging war with the tribes of fire and the tribes of earth, each trying to win the fire-eaters over to their side. The people of Gravity lost many in the wars, stuck in the middle ground, including your great-grandmother. When this happened, your grandfather was so outraged, he took his powers and descended on both of the attacking armies. In one fell swoop he destroyed almost two thousand men, and created the gravity basin, destroying the towns of his people, the mountainous homes of Gravity, but creating a new home for them with his power, where they could live and better defend themselves. Only your people, with their unique tie to Gravity, and their creation of 'Mech', could fight on the slopping walls of the basin."

Erm... It seems that you misunderstood. Right now we're invading the Dead Marsh. We've already left Umbrios.

I didn't want to do the part where we leave, so I decided to just skip it. I just couldn't think of a good scene.

If you want to do the departure scene, then go ahead.

Also, for this arc, I've brought Nyxia along with Jonathan. I know that we'll have her kidnapped and brainwashed later. That could happen after the Morte fight, when the group decide to do Dorfl's quest and go to the land of Gravity, and Nyxia returns to the Kingdom of Darkness. When Jonathan telepathically senses that Nyxia is in trouble, he will temporarily leave the group to search for her, maybe taking one or two group members with him; the rest of the group can go to the Gravity Basin, and maybe meet up with Mordekai, Sekhor, and Alex. For Jonathan('s group), he(they) will meet Faustus and Eliza.

Now, when Jonathan temporarily leaves the group to search for Nyxia, who wants to join him? It would be a bit boring for me to do it alone.

MAX allowed the spectre to wrap itself all over his demonic torso, carefully adjusting the pointy thorns away from his hide.

How convenient it is for Dex to actually have Chaosynthesis, producing :entropy instead of :life and fueled by :death instead of :light. Now, I don't need a staff to optimize my skills.

"Death and destruction awaits!" The mauve beast reared its head and flew up to see the massive horde of Darkness converge with the horde of Death.


OOC: I was thinking that maX as a demon could become somebody's mount. Would Heimdall want to? Maybe Zanthos (anti-mattered) find it advantageous to ride a flying mount while he shoots his bow at the critters? mAx could just wink out the select monsters with Paradox. I'm not so much into these mass killings, LOTR type war scenes. :p

MMn? War going on?

I'll read up and post a mini-boss.

EDIT: Dorfl could go along, I guess. Either or.

Editing with battle.


Dorfl was on the front lines of the Legion of Darkness, and saw Jonathan's huge attack rip a large gap in the wall of undead and zombies that were now closing in on his own army of shades, vampires, demons, and other creatures of Darkness.

Overhead, Dorfl was dimly aware of great Obsidian Dragons clashing with their Ivory counterparts, claws and teeth smashing bone and ripping flesh.

He attacked on the left, a troop of hulking demons behind him, their enormous fists crushing the skeletons around them into dust, but they were nothing compared to Dorfl. He had shifted into his Life Form, and his hands had been changed into something like tiger's paws, with huge foot-long claws destroying everything that surrounded him.

He spun in a deadly dance, his arms windmilling and his claws shearing though the shields and swords of his attackers. Then he suddenly jumped impossibly high into the air, and brought an Ivory Dragon down to the ground with one arm.

Dorfl recalled how similar this was to fighting the dead army of Mavros, in a time that seemed a century ago. This time was different, of course. He was a much better fighter now, after his encounter with the Ice Golem. Also, it didn't look like there would be anything major to do this time except fight the undead, no gargantuan demon to grapple with this time...

He was fairly disappointed.

The golem tore through the ranks of skeletons and zombies, creating a line of destruction for his troop to pass though. Then, he saw it. A group of mages chanting around the faint outline of a gate. Dorfl swallowed, or at least did the golem quivalent, which is a sort of gravely grinding noise, and recognized the large portal that was slowly inching it's way into reality, it was similar to the one that had spawned the massive demon before, but there were more sigils, and they glowed purple-blue instead of red-yellow. If you could ignore that and the fact that it was ten times bigger, then you'd have the same gate.

He changed the direction of his massacre, heading towards the group of liches and ultimately jumping for the last 40 feet, landing with his arms out-stretched and 3 of the mages down. In another brief 40 seconds, so were the rest.

I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.
