Helios had temporarily snapped. With the moisture and pressure in the air, a storm was gathering in Kilitia. He began to laugh manicaly. His scream was blood curdling as lightning was seen flashing in the sky. His mouth salivated as lightning was burning half of Kilitia as he fed off the raw manifestation of his element, a large single bolt struck him as he positioned his fingers redirecting it towards Damascus, Helios falling unto the ground, exhausted laughing insanely.

Rygor was suprised when she gave him the necklace "I will" He said as he took it and put it away. He then looked at her as they left Shale "I'm worried what happens if this kind of thing happens to other nations I'm not sure if well be able to stop someone else from deciding to destroy somewhere for revenge" He said. He shivered as he saw how much of a barrenland half of Shale had become "and worse I'm not sure that I wouldn't have tried what Dulceri was going to if someone did the to Evermore" He said. He looked back at her "Promise me that if we find the cause of this we will do all we can to prevent it from happening again no matter what the cost" He said.

Nephilis reacts in time enough to have the area the rocks pierced turned to water. "Christ that was close..." His entire body becomes water and he seeps down onto the ground before reshaping into the semblance of a fox. Bearing his teeth, he speaks in wavy voice,"If this doesn't work, I don't know what will..." He leans back, then shoots off at a blinding speed ready to tear Damascus to shreds.

Amiea looked over at Rygor and bit her lip. In her gut, she knew that Nephilis was behind of a lot of s**t that had happened. Why didn't father let me inherit Evermore she thought to herself as she looked at him. "Okay" she stated looking down and into the distance. A lot of bloodshed was in the horizon and betrayals and frienships will be broken, and he heart couldnt take it.

" Fool, you're so untrained and weak that you can't even control your own powers, what kind of leader damages his own city with his own powers. He said coldly. He threw his sword into the air and watched as the lightning was drawn to the massive sword's metal, shocking the sword instead of him. " You need to know your powers as well as your opponents. " He said softly. He looked at the panicing Helios and sighed. " If this keeps up the city will be destroyed, I hve seen enough people die. He concentrated hard as a canvas of sand and dirt began to cover the damaged part of the city with several rods of metal sticking out of the top of the canopy, to attract the lightning. He caught sight of the blur that was Nephilis, he concentrated and as Nephilis lunged for the attack, he placed the palms of his hand against Nephilis and instead of confronting Nephilis with power he flowed allowing Nephilis to move through the way his energy wanted through. He looked at him and said. " Your speed is astounding. " he said as he dusted himself off, he wasn't hurt strictly because of his manipulation of a person's energy he just allowed Nephilis to move the way his body wanted to, he just moved himself so he was no longer in that path.

Helios didn't even hear what he had just said. He continued to laugh with a mixture of crying and rage. HIs eyes would flash from their normal green color to a solid red as he lay on the ground. He didnt redirect the lightning correctly so it took a tole on his nervous system. The only person who would be able to help him mentally would be Shatara, who was thousands of miles away.

"..." Nephilis looked up at Damascus with black eyes that streamed a black fluid onto the ground. His watery exterior became skin once more and he stands up, looking at his hands. He opens them and notices he can use his water based skills. "I'm too weak..." He snaps his fingers again and nothing happens. "No...NO!!" He throws his hands forward and nothing happens. He does it once more though and behind Damascus appears a large, gaping hole that pulled him inside and sealed just afterwards. Nephilis falls to his knees and breathes out saying,"I killed him! Finally, I killed him! Helios get up! I killed him!"
~~~
Dulceri sits up after having a slight vision and faces the east wall. In seconds, just like he saw, the portal opens up and Damascus appears before him. "Grim..." he says almost uncaringly. "You were right. You were always right about everything. Why? How? Why couldn't I stop it even with the power to see?"

Helios heard Nephilis' voice but didnt respond, he had gone insane, a prisoner in his own mind. Twitching on the ground before going totally unconcious.

Damascus said nothing at first, he just sighed and thought. " I was right because I saw it all, hundreds of times I looked into the future to see if what I had done that day changed anything, rarely it did and eventually I gave up and became a traveling bard. I only know what I do because I have had countless lives to focus my power, I have had more time then almost anyone to strengthen my powers. " He said as his dark blonde hair fell gently into his hardened yellow eyes. He lifted his large hand and crested a small chai made of rock. Sitting down he said. " You were not able to stop it because you have only just recieved your power of sight. It would have been miraculous if you could see as much as a day into the future, you have only had your power of sight for a couple of hours. I told you when you accepted the power that it would be difficult, I have had about 76 years with Charon's body, that means 76 years to develop the technique. " He said in his wisened voice. " What I hid from you all were events I dreaded would come to pass, and it looks like I was right, no more secrets anymore, I am going to tell you the real prophecies I have seen. " He said quietly.

"C'mon. Let's get you back to your...home." Nephilis walks over to Helios and bends down to grab him. In the end, he simply falls over him, splashing into a puddle of water near his feet.
~~~
Dulceri extends his hand to grab a pitcher of water. The exterior of it was far hotter than anything around due to the gas still trapped inside. In a fit of frustration, he swipes it away and it slams against the wall, shattering much like his heart did not too long ago. "Tell...me...everything...Grim."

Out of Damascus's back shot a pair of white angelic wings. They encased his body completely. Once again a mask appeared where his head would be on the wings and disappeared. When the wings opened up Charon was sitting down on the chair. He stood up his eyes glowing white. " Very well. " He said calmly. The area around them disappeared and was replaced with 3d images that each depicted an event. " This battle is not over, Nephilis has obtained a power that so far has been untapped, however if it were to be awakened in his present state. " He said trailing off images of Nephilis ruling the world with an iron fist slaughtering those that defied him without mercy. " However this isn't what is for certain. I see all of us, saving Nephilis from himself so to speak, he is confused about his own intentions, hiding behind a ruse of justice he believes his actions are for the better, however he has no idea what he is doing, he has no idea about the countless lives he is endangering. " CHaron said as the images depicted Nephilis realising the truth behind his actions and ultimately commiting suicide. I have foreseen horrible monsters that glow with a strange light, and I have seen you Dulceri meeting your end tragically. " He said as both a creature bathed in an eerie light appeared and a scene with Nephilis standing over a glass encased and viciously burned Dulceri, they were arguing about something. The visions faded away and his eyes stopped glowing. Charon sat back down and focuse a small amount of blood fell from his left eye, which he wiped away, he had used a great deal of power today, blowing up the bomb, creating a canopy over a damaged section of Kilitia, and now revealing a massive amount of information and showing images. " Now it is your turn, ask me a question, any question about the future and I will answer it, no matter how obsurd it may seem. " He said quietly. " It is the least I can do for keeping thee truths from all of you. " He said as he opened his left eye again.

Dulceri sits back in his char and it cracks, giving off a hard snapping noise. He calls a miniature sandstorm to his table and begins to play with it. Carrying it between his fingers, he asks,"Noroa. You already know what I'm going to do before I do it right? Will I attack Noroa and bring it out the sky, or will I let it sit there and do nothing about what has happened today?" It was trick question, but the answer would greatly benefit. "If I choose to attack Noroa, how will I win? By what means will I attain victory?"

Charon raised an eyebrow. " Dulceri, you can't destroy Noroa, there are innocent people up there. " He said softly. " And your question, if I tell you an answer you don't like then you will do the opposite of what i tell you to suceed, and if you succeed whatever dilema's you have to accomplish that you will merely sidestep to make your endevors perfect. Am I wrong? " He asked. " However I promised you a vision of what would happen and instead of showing you I am just going to tell you, my eyes are starting to hurt. " He said as he closed his eyes. " Noroa, the civilization that rests far beyond most people's reach, I see both futures, if you attack you will crush the nation, merely because all of those who follow you will do so without question merely because they like you and value your leadership, however if you do not attack, they will not retaliate by Marx's doing, he is dead. Zephyr saw to that. " He said with a sigh. " If you do attack you will win because for one thing they are left without a formal leader to give them guidance, and because like I said you have the aid of incredibly strong allies. However, if you were to attack head on you would lose allies, some would fall incombat to Noroa's numbers, and others would think your actions are cowardly and simply stay out of the conflict. " He said opening his eyes. " Did that answer your question? " He asked. " If not then merely be more specific, the more specific you can be the better. "

"That answers my question perfectly. Bring a Chess board the next time you come okay Grim?" Dulceri relieves a smiles and stands up from his chair and hit white coat billows behind him. He walks to his glass window which seemed to be the entire wall at this point. "Well, Charon, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for anything I have done, I'm sorry for what I will do, but I just want you to know...I can't fight a war anyway. I know what's going to happen and it's not because of sightseeing, it's because of basic strategies. I can't fight because my army has been half depleted and they haven't been trained in a while. Noroa stays on the jump up there. If they decided to come down here, there would be nothing I could do. Can you imagine the anarchy up there right now? I mean, they have no leader like you said. It'd be guerilla warfare and there would be nothing I could do to stop it. I'm...even with my family, I'm too weak!" Dulceri turns around and punches the table, blowing each glassed half into a wall. His stone, which happened to be near was coated in blood and it began to vibrate. Dulceri didn't pay it any mind. "There will be blood and it will be the blood of Shale."

" Will it? Or are you willing to sacrifice everything for a nation, tell me if you had a choice between your family and your nation which would you pick? And no there is absolutely no third option, it's a very simple question. " He said standing up. He watched the rock vibrate and smiled. It held so many secrets that even he didn't understand fully. He looked up and said. " Dulceri don't take all of this pressure on yourself, these are not problems any one person can handle, if you attempt to place all of the burden and blame and stress on yourself you're going to die. " He said looking back straight forward. " Noroa will solve it's own problems a new leader will be crowned and there actions will effect the nation, owever what will happen in the time before a new Prime Minister is crowned is uncertain, they cold blow into a fury and wage war on Zephyr for killing their Prime Minister, or they could attack all of you, I mean we all were there. " He said with a sigh.
