Newbiecake was hungry for revenge. Suffering an excruciating defeat during the last round of War, he is eager to prove his worth once again. Venturing into Death's Domain required the usage of a portal located far north of the elemental land. The journey was long, but considerably shorter than the length it'd take the other elements; flying did have its advantages. "This is where you wait for me, Serenity." Newbie gave his favourite Sky Dragon a reassuring rub before stepping through the ethereal portal.
Darkness. That was what Newbie expected from Death's Domain, but as he stepped through, it was also still daytime as it was in the real world. Everything just seemed...dimmer, as if the light from the sun was faded like a lightbulb which was about to expire. In front of Newbie was a path through a wheat field. Newbie felt an aura emanating from it which seemed to beckon him to let go of everything and play in the wheats like a child. Fighting this allure of freedom, Newbie forged on through the path. He thought he'd heard giggles of children and the rustling of wheat, but there was clearly no one there. He must be imagining things.
After some time on the seemingly never-ending wheat path, it suddenly ended and a castle materialized in front of him. He could swear there was nothing there a moment ago. Just as abrupt as the appearance of the castle, a Death elemental converged into view. "How do you like the Elysian Fields, Newbie? It would've probably been better if you'd just let go, for now you're about to suffer my wrath." "This...isn't what I came to...do," Newbie struggled to complete the sentence. There was something about this place that was distorting his mind. He wanted to get out of here. "The name's CrockettRocket by the way, thanks for asking." With that, CR drew an Arsenic, a sai which dripped with venom, and lunged towards Newbie. Newbie flew up just out of reach. But was he really flying? Everything movement he made seemed surreal to him, and he could barely feel the coldness of the bottle he drew from his pocket.
Focus...Newbie channeled the essence of Water with his mind and willed it into the bottle, then threw it on the ground. The jar shattered into a million pieces, and Newbie held his gaze on the broken glass flying everywhere. Newbie could swear the glass dissolved into the ground. Is this a trick of the Domain? No matter, the mystical water within the glass took the shape of a gorgeous lady. She was wearing a blue dress and hummed a mesmerizing tune. Newbie knew despite her beauty and grace, the Nymph was reading to attack with deadly intent at his word. Newbie didn't know what he was doing, but before he knew it, he was commanding a cohort of Nymphs. The ones wearing cyan dresses handed him one bottle of Unstable Gas after another.
Explode, Newbie willed the Gas. He was barely aware of CR's screams of agony fading into silence as everything around him went black.
Newbie woke up outside of the portal, with Serenity nudging his face with her snout. It was nighttime now. "Master...are you okay?!" "I'm fine...I felt I was on something while inside the Domain, and the next thing I know I'm back here." Newbie wasn't sure what happened inside the Domain actually transpired, but he knew it had to have as he found his pockets full with several new packets of Nova. With that, Newbie took off with Serenity and soared in the black night sky towards home.
Haha Vang. We almost did tinkerer too, but it has more drawbacks than normal. I wouldn't advise it for your team.
