Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amora smiled and dismissed her shadows watching the man walk towards her, this was the infamous Mr. Fairy, the man who killed Yolor and survived a fight with Tsuliria.
Darkness circled around her arms as she noticed his glow, seeing him throw the orbs she tilted her head before seeing them form into small spears.
"A little dog is trying to bark is he?" Amora said chuckling.

She raised her hand causing a large dark wall to appear from her feet and catch the small spears before sinking back into the ground and returning to the shadows of her minions.

"Why not make things easier and just get on your knees now so I can avenge Yolor."
She closed her eyes as four dark balls formed in front of her, the four orbs circled behind her as she opened her eyes.

"I hate it when peasants forget their place. Come then Mr. Fairy, and let me swallow that light of yours in my darkness. Along with your useless existence."

Holding her hands out two of the orbs sent out corkscrews of shadows flying towards Jazz as Amora gripped the last two orbs forming two tridents in her hands.

Kalan started to hide behind Mirela when he noticed her step closer, glancing back at her he noticed she seemed scared, feeling her hand he felt something in his chest, he thought it was courage but looking back at the man it was in fact fear, a lot of fear.
However, this was a good chance to make it up to Mirela.

Kailos stomped the ground causing cracks to form into the cobblestone making it separate as a grin came across his face.
Kalan seeing this pushed down his fear and stepped forward.

"You will rue the day that you messed with the almighty Kalan!"
Kalan put his hands on his hips as a horse flew over his head neighing as his hair blew back from the wind before landing in the crowd behind them.
"....did you...just throw a horse at me?"
Kailos held another horse above his head and shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe," he responded.

Straw flew out of Kalan's sleeves and he threw them into the cracks in the ground, dashing forward he drew more straw forming two straw swords in his hands.
Kailos threw the horse however Kalan jumped stepping on the horse before getting close to Kailos.
"Get ready for one of my special moves!" Kalan yelled.

He stared slashing at Kailos causing him to stumbling back, Kalan continued to cut Kailos diagonally, horizontally vertically before turning and slamming the straw together formed it into one large sword and hardening it raised it up with a loud roar sending Kailos flying into the air.
"I'M THE GREATEST THERE EVER WAS!"

He threw four pieces of straw in the air before making them larger and slammed them into the still airborne Kailos causing him to fall back down towards the ground.
"I'm not done yet!"

He sharpened the straw from the cracks causing them to pop out of the ground into spikes which Kailos slammed into creating a large explosion of dust and straw.
"Now that is called skill!"
Kalan started jumping in the air and cheering...however it didn't last long as he saw a dark figure stand up.
"N-no way..."
Kailos pulled his hood back up before walking back into the open, straw stuck out of his skin and blood poured down his arms dripping onto the ground.
"My that was fun, actually stung a little."
He started to walk forward rotating his left arm.
"Now it's my turn."

Kalan held his arm out in an effort to protect Mirela, however he was sure he would just rip it off and beat him with it.
"Mirela, if we don't make it, I just want you to know, back then was the happiest twelve seconds of my life."

"Kalan, that was... You just..." Mirela had a look of pure astonishment on her face. Placing her hand on his outstretched arm, she allowed a faint smile to cross her lips, setting his previous actions and words aside. Kalan had given Mirela her confidence back-- If he could hit Kailos and actually hurt him some, she could. "Thank you, really." To show her gratitude, Mirela gave Kalan a hug from behind before stepping away and raising her violin to play. "I feel quite appreciated, you know. A duet and two encores! Maybe after this I can play your requiem." Mirela spoke those last few words in memory of Nola, still feeling a bit sad over her demise.

Soon after she spoke, Mirela smiled a bit more to hide her sadness and remaining fear as she began to play. "Stand back, Kalan." From the confidence boost, Mirela found herself humming the melody she was playing. It actually reminded her of her mother, which slightly saddened her a little more. Four green blotches began forming a few meters around Kailos's feet, angled upward. Soon after, spears began emerging from them and were fired into the air. A bright green flash appeared after they collided with each other, during which Mirela slowed the tempo of the piece. As the flash subsided, dozens of pale green flower petals began descending from the sky, falling above and around Kailos. Halting her melody, Mirela left her violin in position but lowered her bow to speak.

"Unless you enjoy being cut, Kailos, I would recommend not being hit by those... However, by all means, feel free to stay put."

Jazz lifted his blades, ready to parry the attacks from the clones. Side stepping, he sliced one in half, it dissapating into air. Blocking with one blade, he repelled the second's trident, bringing his other sword straight down, splitting it down the middle.

"It's a shame really, your movements are so elegant, yet they belong to such an ugly temper. Underestimating me was your first mistake."

Jazz slowly reached up, removing the mask from his face. His pale face met the setting sun once more, his eyes burning with a bright light. He gave a small smile as he brought an orb up in his hand.

"It's foolish to speak down to an envoy, i'm sure you know that from Tsuliria?"

He tossed the orb into the air, it exploding into hundreds of tiny butterflies. His piercing gaze never left Amora's eyes as the butterflies flurried down around them and out into the crowd, filling the square. A snap rang as every butterfly froze, flashing into a long spear, all aimed at center stage.

"How does it feel? The world about to rain down upon you?"

Jazz tried to psych her out, break that pride and pompousness she possessed. Jazz slowly raised an arm, softly closing his eyes as his body began to glow. In his palm a small, bright bead of an orb rested.

"You've left me with little choice. You'll probably never stop fighting, and there are too many lives here at stake, so I have to cut you down."

With that, the small orb fell to the ground. Time seemed to slow as it hit, slowly sinking in. The ground around Jazz began to emit a soft glow, a small sprout made of pure light sprouting behind him. It began to rapidly grow as the makings of a tree began to take shape. All that was visible was a flowerless, leafless, climbing tree.

Amora crossed her arms as her clones vanished in the air a small smile forming on her face.
She watched as he took off Yolor's mask catching sight of his face, her eye twitched and she put her hand over her face.
"Ugh, you look better with it on," she said making a shooing motion to put the mask back on.

She kept her attention on him listening to him speak of envoy and covered her mouth to contain her laughter, as he continued the butterflies filling the air before turning to spears she felt she wouldn't be able to hold in her laughter.
His last words pushed her over the edge and she leaned forward holding her sides before wiping a tear from her eye.

"It called itself an envoy! ."
She straightened herself and pointed in the direction of Mirela.
"To my knowledge the real envoy is over there, you were thrown away, discarded by your own master."
She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

"A puppet with his strings cut off, it's sad you still cling to that envoy business even with it you're nothing but a waste of space.
The only thing right you've probably done in your life is lose that title, someone as unsightly as you shouldn't carry such a thing. A man...no a boy who still clings to his one accomplishment even if it doesn't matter."

She snapped her fingers causing a dark circle to appear on the east side of the park, then the west, then south, finally one to the north. The circles surrounded the gathered people.
"You think I wouldn't have something up my sleeve."

The darkness from the gathered people rose into the air before surrounding central in a large barrier of darkness consuming all in it's darkness, Tsuliria, the people, the spears.
"Sacred art, Dark Fantasy. May the darkness fill even your soul."
Amora faded into the darkness with a chuckle as clones of herself started poking out the darkness some falling some reaching towards Jazz.
"See if your light can shine here, Mr. Envoy."

A dark spike slammed in front of Jazz before fading back into darkness.
"Oops...I missed....Hehehe."

Kalan pulled out a few pieces of straw before hurling it at Kailos making him dodge out of the way as he continued his pursuit towards the three.
Linora's eyes narrowed as an array of white diagonal lines appeared in front of Kailos, Kailos seeing them jumped back as the lines went red cutting whatever was unfortunate enough to be in the way.

She continued making lines as Kailos continued his pursuit, however upon seeing Mirela move he smiled before seeing a serpent, he titled his head before a wall appeared in front of him. He thought about breaking through it but thought of a better idea.

Red energy circled around his arms as he turned and gripping another building let out a loud yell before turning and hurling it at the three.

Kalan screamed and started to run but Linora caught him by his collar and raising her hand created a large amount of diagonal lines, once the building passed through them she materialized them cutting the building into smaller pieces that fell around the three.

"Musician, he can just throw things at us, please think of something else."

Kalan looked over at Mirela and rubbed the back of his head with a small smile.
"I would need more straw in order to do that and I don't have enough on me."
Linora threw him in front of her hearing Mirela's request to hold off Kailos, which was easier said then done especially with that blood lust in his eyes.

"We'll see what we can do," Linora said walking forward next to Kalan.
"You know Linora maybe you don't need my help, I should just-"
"Your two choices are to be crushed quickly or a slow painful death from Tsuliria for abandoning your mission," Linora said interrupting him.
Kalan physically flinched being reminded of his mission, he lowered his head and drew some straw from his sleeve.
"I'm going to need a drink after all this is over, if I'm still able to...."

Linora and Kalan ran forward towards Kailos as he started pulling off chunks of building and throwing it at the two, Linora dodged with little movements and cut any debris that got near her.
Kalan however jumped and tumbled along the ground screaming as it flew past his head, not because of the debris flying at him but the fact he was getting closer to Kailos.

Linora drew some lines in front of Kailos making him dodge back, she quickly made a line behind him forcing him to force his weight forward causing one of her cuts to connect to his chest.

While he was distracted Kalan ran forward and swung his straw sword towards his neck, Kailos smiled and ducked before reaching forward and grabbed Kalan by his face.
He lifted him up the red aura circling his arm before hurling him back, he flew past Mirela before flying into the large shadow Amora made before a horse followed behind him as Kailos turned his attention to Linora.


"Hurry up Mirela!" Linora said jumping back dodging a punch from Kailos.

Mirela had believed that she would have been able to keep her concentration long enough to finish her attack, however once Kalan and a horse flew past her, all concentration and confidence flew out the window. "A-Ah!" Mirela cringed at the sound of the one sour note that was sure to be followed by some real trouble. With her luck, the thorns had matured to the half way point and wouldn't just dissipate at broken concentration. Instead, Mirela quickly knelt down, holding her arms over her face and upper body in a defensive measure.

"Linora! Take cover!!" Not even three seconds after the words left Mirela's lips, the roses began shining intensely as the thorns surrounding them began to expand and turn a lighter shade of green. Within an instant, every thorn that had grown became a projectile with immense speed, being shot out in every direction, followed by a detonation by each rose simultaneously. Mirela's attack had backfired and her last-minute defense had failed.

Finding herself back against the ground, Mirela let out a cry of agony. Numerous thorns that fired off came in contact with her, slicing many areas on her face, arms, abdomen and legs. The wounds weren't very serious but cut slightly deep into her flesh. "Nnh..." As she laid on the ground, Mirela let go of the violin in order to cover herself from any further damage. 'M-Mother...'

"Come on Birth, take me with you! I hear there are some real babes down there."

Birth slowly made her way through the gate, a bright light enveloping her entirety.

"I should have known your intentions were foul. Please, don't give Virtue any trouble while i'm gone."

In a blast of light, Birth fell. Her shining aura lit the night sky as she descended.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jazz' eyes widened as the attacks subsided, men dropping dead around him. Amora's eyes were blank, the life from her body stolen away, and there stood the man that was to blame. Jazz' hands began to burn as Loyalty reacted to the fallen deity. His whole body began to tremble as his eyes met Reaper's, the anger and fear that overcame him was overwhelming.

"Reaper...."

Before Jazz could speak, a bright ball of light crashed into the field outside of town. The shock wave filled the streets as the sun disappeared from the sky. All that remained was a bright shining light in the horizon.

"Jazz...."

His eyes widened as the voice rang in his head...Birth had fallen to Earth. Jazz scrambled in his mind, his eyes darting around looking for an exit. His eyes met Tsuliria's only for moment, that's when he made up his mind.

"Sorry, I've more pressing matters to attend to."

Jazz quickly jumped back, his eyes meeting Reaper's one last time. His cocky smile burned into Jazz' mind. Jazz snapped his fingers, the spears imbedded in the corpses around him all detonated at once, filling the area with a large flash. It was then he made for a back street. He passed Tsuliria on the way, his hand meeting her shoulder as their eyes met briefly.

"I'm looking for my light, and once I find it, we'll continue what we started."

Jazz left her, dashing down the street, heading out of town. His eyes began to glow as the excitement and anger filled him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the explosion filled the square, a green streak fell from the sky. It's speed causing it to crash deep into the ground in front of Mirela. The street filled with smoke as the crater's rim smoldered from the impact.

"Jeez....I'd never thought I'd lose Virtue."

A brown gloved hand gripped the top of the crater. The green suited man slowly pulled himself up out of the hole, brushing off his clothes. He looked up to the sky to notice another white streak falling from the sky a few miles away from where he was.

"Persistant little thing, too bad I'm the luckier one."

A small grin came over his face as he looked down to meet eyes with Mirela on the ground.

Reaper brushed off his sleeve from the explosion, he looked at the mess and lifted his foot stepping over the little remnants of Ulior's forces.

Tsuliria felt her chains burn at Jazz's touch as she glanced over at him, hearing his words she nodded her head slightly before turning back to Reaper.
She saw the smile across his face watching Jazz leave, he jumped off the podium and walked up to Tsuliria.

Kalan meanwhile was sneaking away from the two, they noticed him but remained silent as they locked eyes.
The two were silent as Tsuliria stared at Reaper who smiled at her seeing the hatred in her eyes, her chains went dormant around her, yet they burned her whenever she stood in her presence.

After a long silence Tsuliria reached in her sleeve and handed his lunch back to him.
"Did you enjoy it?" he asked taking it back.
"You could kill it first."
"Hey do you know how hard it is to get a Kraken in a tiny box, be more grateful."
"What's a Kraken?"

Reaper walked past Tsuliria as a dark aura circled around his body, he pointed towards the town.
"This town looks nice."
"Don't ignore me."
"Let's destroy it."
"You're changing the subject."
"Oh before that we should get something to eat. Kraken sounds good."
"You make me tired...."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh this was definitely worth the fall"
The green man looked down at Mirela putting his hand under his chin before looking over her.
"I knew I'd run into some babes down here."

Kalan ran up and sliding a bit saw the green man smiling at Mirela running up he stood in front of her blocking the man's view.
"Can I help you?" Kalan said glaring at him.
The green man blinked a few times before grinning and putting his hand to his chest.
"I am the powerful deity Luck! Feel free to admire me Mortal."

Kalan pushed Luck a few feet back and took a few steps forward.
"I am the almighty Kalan, tenth commander of the ninth force."
"Mortal I'm trying to woo a babe, why don't you move out of the way and go do mortal things."
"Why don't you be shrubbery or something Lick."
"It's Luck you blond monkey! Okay, listen you want the babe right?"
"Yeah and she owes me a date too!"
"We'll settle this with a contest, whoever wins get's to be her lover

Luck snapped his fingers and a table fell from the sky with two stools between the two before two mugs fell on each side of the table filled to the brim with drink.
"Where did you get this?"
"Never underestimate the power of a deity."

Meanwhile at tavern not so far away.
"Who took my tables and drinks! I don't know why but I have this strong urge to add this to Kalan's tab."

"We'll have a drinking contest, whoever wins get's to take the fair maiden out"
"Actually I'm don't think Mirela's fair, pretty yes but fair....."
"You think so?"
"Well yeah I mean look at her."
Luck leaned around Kalan and looked at Mirela.
"Yeah you have a point. Alright for the not so fair maiden then"
"Alright for the hand of the not so fair Maiden Mirela!!"

Linora dragged Kailos away a few feet away avoiding meeting eye contact with the two mumbling something to herself.
"Idiots," she mumbled.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ulior, it appears that Kailos and Amora have failed, I'm sure Tsuliria will be on the way here soon."
In the midst of the darkness a figure tapped his pale finger on the end of his armrest.
A small smile formed on his face as he stood up and held his hand out.
"Good, let them come then. This village is still under my control and-"
"Reaper is also here...sir...."
"............well I'm dead."
