Sirenes stares at Max, almost darkly. As chaotic as entropy, she knew that probing the mind of an entropic being could be potentially dangerous. The fact that he had come searching for them after they'd destroyed an entire fallen elf village made things seem even less trustworthy. She turns to look at Xanriel "Are you well enough to do this?"

Optimalist, I think you should do the mind probing scene. I don't think we can correctly depict what's inside MAx's mind.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

OOC: CooooL.... Okay, will do. I will just take your battle styles so far and translate it into the probing scene. Will nap first.

I dunno, Icy is good with describing telepathy; he could also do it.

And I hope you have a good understanding of what our characters are like. For example, don't depict Xanriel as cold and merciless, because he is no longer Exriel.

@Icy: You should make Heimdall fight some random Mind Flayer one day :P From their appearances, I would say that the Mind Flayers and Ulitharids are two different races of beings...

OOC: I thought of doing individual battles among the party members, but came up with something more Twilight Zone-y. Let's see if it works for you.


Light. Darkness. Aether.

On the 3 corners of an equilateral triangle, 3 softstone chairs were placed. The elementalists one by one silently took their posts. The half-nymph shut the only entrance to this conference room.

The only exit for that matter.

mAX removed the stool placed for himself from the middle of the setup. He crossed his legs into a seated position on the hard smooth granite floor. He suddenly jumped up into a standing position. Everyone else stood up with him. The air electric with surprise. maX held out his hands in front of him, "I'm sorry, I got skittish. I need to do some calisthenics. I'm sorry if I caught you off guard." He proceeded to do several push-ups and other acrobatics. His balance and flexibility were quite impressive for a husky guy.

The shadowed figures at the periphery grumbled amongst themselves and settled back into their seats.

At the point of connection, a flash of hot pink blinded their individual thoughts into an echo of each other's memories. They are now all children inside a single child. Each experiencing all their childhoods as it had happened, as it was happening now.

They/He was looking at their/his mother/s, "Now, child/angel/beloved/booboo..." She looked stern, concerned, upset and loving all at the same time.

"Y-Y-Yes, mother??" He/They felt so sad, angry, frustrated, embarrassed.

"Haven't we told you NOT to do what you did? What you did... You don't do things just because you can. How many times have I told you not to heal a dead animal... steal... use mind control... play too deep in the woods?? Why must you disobey us?"

...

"Come here."

He/they ran towards his/their mother/s, hugged her tight and sobbed.

Each scenario rushing by, rewinding and playing forward, happening again and will happen, as if it did happening or was happened. Time was immaterial and no longer linear as they KNOW it was. Until there was no more thought but pure feeling.

The four men were all sobbing in quiet spasms in the same fetal position. All their movements were in synchronicity. Even their breaths rose and fell at the same time. Sirenes was alarmed and slumped on the floor beside her guardian. She cradled his head into her lap and felt his warm tears soak into her thighs. Nyxia was beside herself in confusion, she had never experienced this level of sympathy before. She began to be anxious for her own sanity, but more than herself... she was disturbed that she was actually afraid for her lover. She didn't want to reach out to him. She was afraid that she might trigger a disturbance in whatever phenomenon was happening in the mental states of the 4 powerful men in front of her. She never felt herself to be so... weak and powerless.

Zanthos was standing with his arms crossed, clenched teeth behind the thin lips, his face a mask seeming to be guarding the door either from escape or from intruders.

"I am / You are / This is... Destiny."

And, everyone in the room felt the kind of emotion that only a mother could have for her long lost child. The silent mewling of the grown men continued from the dream-reality into just mere plain abject reality. As the sniffles died into awkward silence, the group hardly acknowledged each other's presence. One by one, the party broke up into their rooms as Jonathan declared in a thought to... just meet again tomorrow. The first to go was Zanthos, each step deliberate and meaningful. Jon took Nyxia's pale, cold hand and led her through the doorway. Xanriel accepted the assistance from Sirenes as if weakened by an injury no one could see. Heimdall took his time looking back into the room searching for something that wasn't there before stepping out, absent-mindedly leaving the door ajar.

max was left alone still on the floor looking unconscious. Dexter crept into the room. MaX recognized the presence and sniffled into a butterfly. It glided onto a blood-stain bloom among the spectre's thorns and stayed there.

Take us somewhere safe, Dex.

OOC: LOL. I got dizzy thinking about it as well. hahaha. Putting the yellow shadow felt appropriate indeed. Oh yeah... I was wondering if I forgot anyone. Will edit now.  (although, she could be one of those "shadowy figures at the periphery" hehe)

@Icy: You should make Heimdall fight some random Mind Flayer one day
:) Sounds like fun.


Heimdall lay down on his bed, silent.

We can trust him, all right.

Heimdall absentmindedly telepathically lifted his bottle of Nymph's Tears up, then lowered it. Then up again; then down. He twirled the bottle in all sorts of ways, thinking.

What happened today?

He had fought against one of the strongest magicians he had ever met. He had won with the help of a bolt from the blue. Then, a strange Entropist showed up from nowhere. The original three members of the group entered his mind, and Heimdall felt a feeling he had never felt since... since...

Since I probed Xanriel's mind.

It seemed like so long ago, but the emotions can rushing back like a river whose dam had been shattered. Desperation, solitude... and hope. Everyone has a life. Everyone has a past. And I've already seen two of them.

He lay back, his head heavy on the pillow. So tired. Tomorrow, I'll sort everything out. Tomorrow. He closed his eyes, sending his consciousness deep within the protective folds of his mind. The familiar twinkle of the shard of Aether stood at the center of his brain like a crystal pillar. I wonder...

He compressed all his thoughts within the shard, just like he had done when he had executed the lightning attack. However, he did not let his thoughts out; he instinctively formed his thoughts in a protective layer of the shard. The shard pulsed with power, and Heimdall felt an energy like never before surge into his mind...

Tomorrow. Tomorrow, there will be answers. He let the power drift away into the eternal as his consciousness drifted freely off to sleep.

Xanriel threw up yet again into the bed pan, holding his stomach closely.
"Never again," he shuddered, laying his head back onto Sirenes's lap, "I'm never probing someone's mind again." He had never done it before, not having that power himself, but being enabled by forming a link with the minds of the others. His head hurt more than it ever had in his life, he had spent so much time of the mind probe trying to block out his own memories from the others, so they wouldn't have to see everything he had seen, a feat only Heimdall had managed to survive without coming out scared as he had been.
"So chaotic.. how could anyone think in that mind, nothing made sense there..." He shuddered again, almost threw up, then calmed himself, pushing the bed pan away so he wouldn't have to smell the stench of sick.
"We should sleep, I'm not mentally tired, but my body feels like a dragon just spent an hour chewing on me, and I'd like nothing better than to curl up with you in my arms and sleep."

Wait, what? Purity, I thought Xanriel could do telepathy! That's the very reason why I chose you to do the mind probing thing! I thought Heimdall, Xanriel and Jonathan are the only telepathic characters in the group; maybe I should've used Zanthos instead :P

Editing in progress.


In his bedchamber, Jonathan held Nyxia tightly in his arms. Bitter tears of blood was running down his cheeks, as a maelstrom of memories and emotions assaulted his psyche. Damn it... Jonathan thought. Even though I've killed Mavros and avenged my parents, it still hurts... so much... Again and again, before his tightly shut eyes, he saw Mavros sneering, and viciously slashing off the head of Jonathan's parents. Then, he saw Mavros's blade plunge itself deeply into Nyxia's stomach, nearly killing her. Jonathan pulled Nyxia tightly against himself, a mere young man who wanted nothing but to protect the ones he loved.

It's all right, John, it's all right... Nyxia gently whispered into Jonathan's mind, desperately trying to soothe him and relieve him of the terrible pain and anguish he was experiencing right now. She did not anticipate this; no one would have thought that a simple mind probe would reveal the memories of all four people involved. Knowing Max's past memories, they now could very much trust the flamboyant and chaotic mutant elf/demon/werebutterfly; how could you not trust someone if you had "known" him since childhood? Perhaps it was truly Destiny after all, sharing the knowledge between them, forming this bond of alliance... Nevertheless, knowing someone's deepest and innermost secrets was intrusive, and Jonathan only shared those secrets with his closest friend and lover.

For a long while, Jonathan and Nyxia silently clung to each other, simply taking mutual comfort in each other's presence. Then, tenderly, Jonathan bared his fangs and sank them into the soft skin of Nyxia's nape. At the same time, Nyxia revealed fangs of her own, and bit gently into Jonathan's neck on the same spot. They were joined in both mind and body, as their blood flowed into each other.

Then, there came a gentle knocking on the door. Disentangling himself from Nyxia's embrace, Jonathan materialized his robe onto his body, and went to the door. "Yes?" Jonathan looked at the vampiric servant, and asked.

"Master Jonathan, I am sorry if I have disturbed anything, but Lord Incarnate wishes to see you," the vampire answered.

"It's late at night," Jonathan frowned in annoyance. "Can't this wait?"

"I'm sorry, but Lord Incarnate insists that this is urgent matter."

Jonathan sighed. "Fine. I'll be there in a minute."


Done. This meeting with Incarnate is the one where Incarnate gives the third eye to Jonathan.

Icy, make Heimdall have a prophetic dream? Maybe one about Necrosis?

The whole ordeal was quite confusing and panicking. She didn't quite understand what had happened, but she knew it wasn't good. These men were warriors and they rolled on the floor, sobbing like frightened children before her eyes. It was unbearable and she couldn't just stand by and watch for long.

Afterward, Sirenes sat on the bed with Xanriel, holding his head in her lap and humming a tune. She dabbed a damp cloth on his head and did her best to comfort him as he tried and failed again to keep his stomach contents down. Her hand brushed gently across his forehead, a steady, almost non-existent stream of healing energy flowed from her fingers to soothe his body a bit. "All right..." Shifting in the bed, she slid his head from her lap and moved beside him. There wasn't much she could say, so she just continued to hum songs for him. But curiosity lurked at the back of her mind. Perhaps later she would have the courage to ask him what exactly happened.

Why was it different this time? I've been probed regularly like clockwork and it was never like this. Never.


The spectre adjusted its thorny limbs to let the butterfly out of its temporary cocoon-nest. They were perched atop a pitch black pillar that seemed to be radiating darkness from the inside. The tiny demon paced the small area slowly.


And....

How have we invoked... Destiny?



The dark night seemed even darker as the minutes came and went.


Why was she even here?
