Ethral City

[Agent Code Monkey]

One more skeletal warrior was slain by the cryptic chaos just before the blade returned to the right hand of the platinum haired warrior. The fun was stopped by a carriage and 2 horses without any skin. The platinum must have been caught up in the fun he was having or letting his mind wander otherwise he would have seen it sooner.

"Oh look, somone finally notices us; no cameras please, no cameras. Pictures, maybe depending on how many and how much are you willing to give up."

His teammate Sila took the first blow towards the transportation by shooting an arrow from her enormous bow that became engulfed by a bright light; just before it connected to the eye socket of the skeletal horse. It did not take a genius to figure out that the light element reigned supreme against undead on most occasions. The horse turned to dust so quickly that Calypso tried his best not to laugh at the horse; fortunately he could as soon as he saw what came out of the steed.

"Are you in charge of this party? No food, no drinks, no women, no music?!? No wonder why people are wandering around here bored.

The god ignored both of them and seemed to be interested in Sila. With the unknown chants and the dramatic entrance, one would think that the bird was trying to have some intimate time with Sila. Calypso and Sonya obviously was not interested in what he had to say, so they left the talking to the priestess.


What caught Calypso's attention was a mention of immortality. That was when the platinum haired warrior's mind wandered off to that day where he was so close to omnipotence, but failed because of a animal that couldn't get out the way to fast when being abused.

"Continue to fight and your very soul shall be torn asunder, food for others."

"That sounds like some nice choices, buttttt i think that i'll continue to fight. After all, i have no soul and i prefer the body that i have...mostly because women prefer the body that i have." the platinum haired warrior said in a cocky tone.

((Please note that Dieter is human.))

((For the sake of agent Code))  

[Deir]

already knew oh! okay))  

[Agent Code Monkey]

((my mistake; got it confused w/carrion.))  

[iwouldlikethisgone]

((Carrion means decaying flesh. And his soul looks like a bird, but he himself is a human that ate a god ))

Dieter Stefan Heydrich began to channel the arcane energies of the undead, perverted life, immortality. The various ghosts near the carriage came to shape. Banshees, knights clad in ancient armor, all servants were of a spectral nature. These rushed forward, ready to kill those who insulted the master by living, those who would attack the manifestation of his will. The music grew louder, reaching a crescendo. The sound in of itself would be enough to drive lesser minds insane, and some might even die. Dieter pocketed the scepter and raised his hands toward the sky, and behind him, the form of his soul was tall, four arms tipped with claws a homage to its physical form. The music was complemented by a whispery language, the language of the damned.

Sila soon realized that she had forgotten her staff after her little attack. She was truly a scatter brain... She turned around to fetch it when suddenly all around the god there were monsters of different kinds. She shrieked as one came at her, startled by its size. She brought out her bow and swung at the chest cavity, her strength and the bow's flexibility surpriseing even her as she sent the creature back at the god. " PLease excuse this" She exclaimed in panic and took off running for her staff.
She leapt over several that stood in her way useing her bow as a pole and came into sight of it. When she saw a monster try to pick it up. " Dont touch that!" She screamed with all her might, not wanting such a gruesome creature touching the one thing she treasured most, not to mention her little knowledge of what would happen. This had been the first time she had ever exclaimed with such passion before and it stunned her for a moment before she pulled back on her bow with a random arrow and stopped running. She could hear the dead singing... no it was the damned who sung, and with it tears began to litter her cheek. She let go of the string to rub her eyes and looked back to find that monster who tried to grab her staff was burnt to a crisp by a redish ornge arrow. She blinked and then ran over and grabbed her staff. Relief flooded her and she sighed. Though the danger was far from over she stabbed the staff into the ground and giant licks of flame bellowed out of the anticipanting staff head and a loud dragon Roar was heard too, piercing the very song even the dead was singing for a brief amount of time. It didnt bother Sila though, she glared at the God. " I think You have done enough to this city " She called over the continous lick of flames chasing the creatures who had not suffered it's touch yet.

Seeing her burning the spirits away angered the necromancer, he silently swore that she would die, nailed to a cross, eyes torn out, flayed to the bone.. And the god would not allow her to die, torment until boredom struck.. His soul ripped itself from the fleshy form and launched itself at the female, at the flames. Though the fire harmed it as all of the creatures of necromancy, it shrugged it off, swiping at the female. If the attack struck, she would instantly be overtaken with a wasting disease, and it would act swiftly, killing within minutes. Its mouth was open wider than what should be possibly, glistening flesh eternally thin. It was a creature that hungered always, draining thousands of souls without remorse. It was the true form of Dieter, it was his soul.. When the god moved forward the music rose again, blotting out all other noise.

((ok thanks.))

Sonya were on the defensive while Sila remained on the offensive. The platinum haired warrior did not use his powers and engaged in old school swordplay with the ghost warriors; Sonya did not really have much of a choice. One soldier went for a horizontal slice towards Calypso's head, causing the platinum haired warrior to quickly squat; only for him to jump back up when the skeletal warrior attacked from below as well, initiating a slice towards his feet. Once the platinum haired warrior was on the ground, he quickly lifted, cocked his right shin and gave a mean roundhouse kick towards the armor of the knight. The knight would more than likely hit the ground hard before getting back up as if nothing happened. Sonya on the other hand was matching blades with 2 knights wanting to cut her up into thanksgiving dinner. When it seemed like they were overwhelming her, Sonya rolled out of the way to meet back with Calypso, at the same time that Sila had used her flames to get rid of the rest of the undead warriors.

At this time, The two were next to Sila as she redirected her flames towards those who were lucky before. Though their get together was short as the soul of dieter arose and launched itself towards the preistess. Calypso and Sonya quickly rolled opposite directions; Cal went right and Sonya went left. (edit)

A sudden bolt of anger blasted through her mind. It came from spirit, no it came from the carrion god! She gasped and just missed the mighty swipe of his shadowed claws. Had she not felt that wave of anger, she would not have noticed him coming. She gasped as her shoulder began to bleed, not from him, but a rock pentrated her shoulder as she dodged and rolled. She gritted her teeth in pain but it helped her think more clearly. " It is I you take your anger out on because I have denied your gift, Or because there is fear somewhere in your heart" She asked, half serious half trying to buy time. She kept a good distance away and without even a hand to move it, the staff kept the dead at bay. She had her bow and and a good piece of distance from his soul. She took an arrow of light from her back and made to quickly aim and send the arrow at him. the feeling of her friends close by helped comfort her as she tried to keep from losing her life to the wraith of this god.

It moved its four claws to a focal point near its neck, all the hands pointing up, all tilted slightly inwards. The magick of death moved in the path of the arrow, and since it reacted with the dread magick, the arrow fizzled out, leaving the simple solid arrow passing through the god's spectral form. It moved its arms outwards, looking almost like a snow angle with the arms out in the four directions. The magick ceased to flow in the confined space in front of it, instead being drawn into places where energy deficiencies appeared. It rotated the position of its arms, forming a cross, and with that movement, blueish particles of light floated up, so very bright. They moved in patterns with no discernible logic, the very act of even attempting to contemplate them sending one into uncontrollable shivers. When it struck towards the ground the lights ceased to appear, and all that had fell went again down in curves of light, coming back up in a half sphere around the lower parts of the Carrion God. It hoped to distract the female long enough for the creeping spirit behind her to strike her down.

The fleshy body of Dieter stood, but did not move. In a trance, somewhere else, he was utterly vulnerable.  

[Deir]

Sila was utterly lost... She did not wish to fight, she was against violence!... she looked with fear into the god spirit's head and saw as the particles came she shivered terribly so she didnt look at them again. She looked instead behind the god to see his... body? to have stood still this entire time, now she was clumsy and forgetful but still very smart and she decided to dig up her last effort. She concentrated, unsure of the distance... and began changing her direction twords that body. She had yet to realize a beast behind her, but a light began to faintly glow upon the young man's forehead and chest where is heart would be. the faint light growing stronger the closer she got and began to emit a warmth felt like none other to the cloaked man, maybe not enough to wake him... but it was worth a try and Sila had no more ideas... During this time and gave a look of anger, though she was terrified and pulled the bow back and released it to smack the god spirit's body...  

[iwouldlikethisgone]

When the arrow was released, it came within inches of the spirit before disintegrating. The beast raised its hands before it, and a great blast of the energy rushed towards the female, as light was touching the male's face. Dieter opened his eyes, and concentration broke. The energy dissipated before it could harm the priestess, only the faintest tingle would touch her. The bird head gave a screech that would hurt the ears and collapsed upon itself, and struck the necromancer square in the chest. He was on his knees now, vomiting, bleeding from the nose, coughing. Blood was in the vomit, the surrounding magick flickered, making the spirits unstable, unable to attack with any degree of consistency.  

[Agent Code Monkey]

It seemed that the spirit was only concerned with consuming Sila; for some reason it left Calypso and Sonya be. The two quickly noticed that while the spirit was on the offensive, the body of Dieter was motionless. Was he in some sort of trance? Perhaps another summoning procedure? No, he just stood there, without anyone defending him. Calypso could have went on the offensive right then and now and perhaps ended this charade but he decided to have some more fun for a little while. At the level Sonya was at, she had no choice but to join Calypso.

More Skeletal warriors arrived and charged towards the platinum playboy and Sonya; these warriors probably left other areas in order to come over here. So if there were any survivors, perhaps their chances of survival had went up even more. Calypso and Sonya did mixes of horizontal, diagonal, vertical, and 360 slashes at the fallen warriors, slowly decreasing the population of dead people. Suddenly they heard the screams of the bird, only this time it was more unpleasant to the ears just before it dropped to the floor like a brick. While Calypso was okay, Sonya covered her ears, looking like her mind was being invaded for a few seconds before it finally stopped. Calypso looked back towards that direction and saw Dieter on his knees, taking a quick look at the bow that was stuck in his chest before he began to vomit profusely and bleed from the nose.

Even if this was some sort of trick, it was the platinum haired warrior's turn to attack; he had let Sila have most of the fun since they've stepped foot on these grounds. Not to mention he had to have some sort of exciting story to tell the ladies when they were done and the survivors would give him a medal, all the food he can eat, all the women he can...

One can only dream.

"My turn." the platinum haired warrior thought to himself. At this point they once again took out the skeletal warriors surronding them, leaving only Sonya, Sila and Dieter for enough time to deliver the final blow before more reinforcements arrive. A small portion of clouds just above Dieter turned into a charcoal like color as Calypso raised his left hand in the air. One second passed before the platinum playboy dropped his hand as if he was going to hit a child, sending a lightning bolt 1.5 feet in diameter wide towards the entire body of dieter and would continue to deliver damage until Calypso was certain Dieter was no more. Only then will he dismiss the bolt. This lightning bolt had more than enough power to instantly kill and toast the average human in an instant. If successful, then the lightning would course throughout dieter's entire body delivering inexplicable pain, burn his skin to where smoke would emanate as well as a much faster heart rate.  

[Deir]

Continuing the light a little longer Sila turn and ran, as a blast of energy came at her, she didnt see but she heard a painful screech and feel to the ground in alot of pain, from the energy blast? or was it the screeching, she didnt know but the pain was certain. She looked back just in time to see the god's spirit hit the man in the chest and vanish, causing him to vomit alot of blood and stomach acid, she felt terrible for the poor man, and she knew he was human, His nose bled.
she got up, a little wobbly and rubbed her head and walked over to him, seeing as she was the closest. When she looked back she saw the man whom she had been traveling with pointing twords the poor man. She gritted her teeth. The humming of electrical particles forming in the air and she burst into a sprint over to the man, knelt down infront of him and pulled him away from where the man pointed and then brought a blue arrow out and aimed it at him. " Stop it Calypso! If you kill this man I will never forgive you" She said with a look of anger upon her face.
She then turned around to the man on the ground and touched his chest and covered his eyes with a gentle hand. " Death will only lead to more chaos" She said under her breath, her tone sad and regretful. " Please hold nothing against me Dieter" She said a little louder to him, though she was not sure if he could even hear her.
Suddenly the soft light began to appear over her hands once more, but this light was stronger then before and she could feel a couple of old trees wilting as she absorbed their life energy. She winced, And kept her hands steady as she tried to heal this poor mans illness, or atleast bring him comfort. With Sorrow in her eyes, she held no resentment twords this man, or the god spirit who tried to kill her. She had been very lucky, that she had been spared and for that she thanked the higher gods.
