Eon's Return: No Hope

[Remijio Mendoza]

Gareth frowned as he saw the eyes in the mist and stepped back he could tell something was wrong but then he herd what sounded like his voice. "no..thats not true I...I chose to leave" He said nervously it was obvious he was confused. He held his hands out and attempted to remove the mist but his power didn't seem to work on the mist. He then looked at the glowing eyes feeling confused. "What is going on and why did Riku come from here" He said.  

[DragonSlayer Arcos]

"True, you left. Because you don't feel like you are actually one of them. You feel like an outsider, even after you helped them to save the humans." Eon said, his manifested red eyes widening. Deciding that it would be better to just turn him, Eon focused on the dark emotions in Gareth's heart and brought them completely to the surface and amplified them. The mist turned black and swirled around Gareth, covering him completely. After a few seconds, the mist receded, and Gareth stood there, his heart black as midnight. "You will go to the center of the Tranor Desert and destroy the three stone pillars there. Then carve the symbol of release on the ground in the center of where they stood." Eon said, his real voice echoing through Gareth's head.

Shayne landed and was soon joined by Ark. "No I am not. That attack was unprovoked, and the rest of that crowd wanted to join in. I have a feeling that it will take something much more drastic for them to accept us. I need to train. You may join me if you wish." Shayne said looking at Ark. His duties as leader were important, but this was a day off for him, his advisers were taking care of everything else until he returned to his duty. He wanted to practice with the Dragon Fire some more.

Riku walked towards the four pillars, cautious for he did not know what they were for. As he got closer, he saw that they were circular, with thousands of small glyphs and runes etched in each one. They seemed to glow a faint red, and heat radiated from the area. Riku got closer, until he could actually read the glyphs. They all made up a seal, which would kept something imprisoned. Swallowing, Riku looked around him. He had a feeling that whatever was guiding him wanted him to destroy the pillars. But, he was wary of what he was unleashing. Deciding that he had no choice, Riku looked around him. He saw a large rock a few feet away resting on the ground. Riku went over and picked it up, happy that his body was strong with muscle. Walking back to the pillars, Riku hefted the large rock over his head and throw it at the base of a pillar. It took many, many tries, but eventually the pillar's base was chipped away from the assault and fell. The remaining three pillars began to glow a dim red as it lost a conduit. They would be harder to knock down, in an effort to keep whatever was imprisoned where it was.  

[Miss Granola Suicide]

Mira's stomach twisted as they flew away. Human? If only that was what she was. She turned to the portal and rejected it back to nothing. She immediately threw up.
"Well," she said gritting her teeth "You wont get away from me that easy."
Her body began to shake and shake untill she becam a blurr. The blurr shifted shape untill it had taken the form of a crow. Mira had learnt how to reject her form in her solitary year and as long as she didn['t stay that way for too long, it didn't drain her too much. She flew in persuit of the Dragon and Pheonix and landed on the balcony a minute or two after they did.
"Please." she gasped as she shifted back. "Don't leave me alone. I don't want to be alone any..." She fainted. The portal and the lightening bolt had taken more out of her than she'd realised.  

[Remijio Mendoza]

Ark frowned when he originally joined Shayne things looked so bright but now things were seeming to dim. He looked down feeling a little sad but he shook his head clearing his worry. He looked at Shayne "Sure why not I could always use some training especialy if I ever want to see what I'm capable of" He said. He wondered where they would train at. He then saw the girl pass out he looked at Shayne "Lord Shayne what should we do with her?" He asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gareth frowned as he herd the voice in his head "No its a lie!" He said. He felt the wind around him becoming dangerous and wild. Suddenly he felt his dark emotions becoming more powerfull "No I wont let you" He yelled. He forced the wind around him to become worse until the mist covered him and darkend his heart. His eyes became dark and void of emotion. "Yes sir..." He said darkly. He then ran out of the cave back to the swamp and then changed into his dragon form and let out an earshattering roar as he jetted towards the Tranor Desert. He could feel his darkness radiating from him.  

[Shadowing Death]

Fairheart hearing a small cough behind him turns to see Xaio walking the other direction. He then begins after Xaio, now noticing she's really there. He then yells "Hey!... Wait up."  

[DragonSlayer Arcos]

Shayne slapped him on the shoulder. "If it was easy, it wouldn't feel like an awesome accomplishment in the end would it?" Shayne said smiling, his irritation fading. He jumped as he saw the crow turn into the human, which was obvious it wasn't a part of this world. Shayne looked down at the young woman and then at Ark. "Guard, take this creature into the infirmary and have a healer tend to her. Once she is conscious, escort her to the training field. I want her to see what we are capable of, it might put some respect in her voice." Shayne said. The guard bowed and took the woman into the castle. Shayne turned around and flapped his wings and flew off towards the stadium a mile away.

Eon laughed as Gareth obeyed his orders and headed to the third strongest seal. It wouldn't be long now until he was free from this hell. He turned his attentions to Riku, and was surprised to see that he had already destroyed one of the four pillars. Excellent. I will be free here soon, then I shall have my revenge. They will all pay for what has happened!" Eon said, his mental voice cold and borderline insane.  

[Remijio Mendoza]

Ark nodded and flew after Shayne to the stadium. He landed next to him and smiled "So are we sparing against each other or training on dummies" He asked. He looked around "I think it would be more interesting with this" He said. He snapped his fingers and a ring of fire around the arena.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gareth was in the desert after a short time and landed near the stone pillars. He smirked and changed into his hybrid from. He looked at the pillars "This is all hmm too easy" He said his voice darker than normal. He flapped his wings and held his hands out as he formed a sand tornado. He then sent in water causing everything in its path to be destroyed. He then flew into the air and then aimed his hands at the ground and formed a beam of aura and cut the symbol of release into the center. "Sir I am done" He said. He awaited a response.

Kummar had stopped pacing in a circle and talking to himself after he had made a decent sized rut in the ground. For now, he just sat, looking out at the landscape and thinking to himself. His world had been flipped upside down at the end of the war and over the past few weeks, so now he was thinking of a way to fix it.
His thoughts were interrupted, however, when he saw a dark shape fly above him, which had come from the swamp. Kummar looked up and saw Gareth flying above. He had met Gareth shortly after his return to the human world, and found out that Gareth had been the second dragon poisoned in the assassination attempt. Although Kummar appologized and said he had only been following orders, he could never be sure if Gareth forgave him or not.
But now, something didn't look right. Gareth looked different and was flying towards the Tranor Desert, a strange place for a dragon like him to go. Curious, Kummar waited until Gareth was just a barely noticable speck in the sky before taking off after him. Something wasn't right, and Kummar wanted to know what. He kept his distance though, enough so that he wouldn't be noticed unless Gareth was specifically looking for him.
After a while, Gareth had reached the desert, with Kummar not far behind. Taking cover as best he could behind some rocks, Kummar watched as Gareth destroyed several stone pillars. What is he doing? he wondered. Gareth was definantly not acting like himself, but why?

"Hm? Turning around almost hesitantly, her coughing self became suddenly incandescent. "H-hi!" She took a step or two foward to close alittle more space between them. "You live here too? I thought you traveled..." Xaio did in fact have thoughts of never really seeing him again considering he would be else where in the world to find less friendly dragons then the ones they met. The very thought brought her attention to the book she was still holding, which she now moved around alittle to give her an easier way to give the hugs she normally loved.
((So hey everyone....What's up? ninja ))

((Contemplating on napping -o=o-))

Centaris had made a mobile heat source to counter act the snow. His shield rotated slowly with a rune glowing a red hue on it. The rune was simply giving off heat and wouldn't do much else. Just one of the many Centaris had learned searching the castle library. Unfortunately Unther had also payed attention to the books about runes, and he had learned some new ones that were rather dangerous. The quiet was broken with some coughing around the corner, and Centaris couldn't help but want to go and aid the person. He rounded the corner with a slight urgency to find the two people he had been looking for. "Well well, of all the people in the world to run into." Centaris announced with a wide grin.  

[Shadowing Death]

((Err... Xaio is ready to give a hug or she giving one?...))

Fairheart began to ask what Xaio was holding when Centaris came around the corner. He sighs and nods "Yeah... I sort of live here now, seeing as there is not anywhere else to go now... the dragons are currently at peace I think."  

[DragonSlayer Arcos]

Shayne looked around at the ring of fire, wondering why he Ark had created it. "We practice on each other. That way we have a real challenge." Shayne said, he walked to the other side of the field. He turned around to face Ark, and started to power up. In a few short seconds, white and gold energy was flowing from him like water.

"Good, next report to the Temple of Avo, destroy the two pillars of stone there." Eon said, his voice happy. He heard laughter behind him, so he turned around. Behind him stood a human female spirit. She had been sent here, most likely because some fool had summoned her spirit and hadn't sent it back to where it belonged. The woman drew her hilt and created a blade out of wind. She rushed at Eon, striking at his neck. Eon threw his hand out and sent a pulse of energy at the woman. She screamed and was sent flying backwards. Then in a heartbeat, Eon held his hand near his chest and began gathering energy to form his blade. With his blade summoned, Eon began to leisurely walk towards the woman. The blade glowed silver and grew longer and larger. Eon flew at the woman and struck down at her. She managed to block with her areoblade, but Eon knocked it away and in a nanosecond struck again. The woman screamed as her spirit split and vanished. Eon smiled.

Riku was sitting on the ground, panting for all he was worth. He had managed to destroy two more pillars, but the last one was proving exceedingly difficult. After roughly ten minutes, Riku struggled to get up, hefting the stone, he started again to slam it at the base of the pillar. After thirty strikes, the pillar gave way, fell to the ground and shattered. A symbol made of light appeared on the ground as the light faded from the runes. The new symbol meant release, which meant that Riku had done his job.

I Am Sojourn, I am Alder...

Ross surveyed the land from atop a bus stop. People gave him odd looks as they walked past, but he payed it no heed. At least, not until the police showed up.

"Hey! What're you doing with a weapon?" A police officer demanded, pointing a nightstick at Ross's sword. "I think we need to take you downtown!"

"Forgive me, but I must decline," Ross said, hopping off the structure, "I have things to do." He bowed politefully, "But do tell your officer that the town gaurd is doing it's duty well."

((Ross doesn't exactly fit in....))

I am the Ashbringer...

 

[ZeldacatVampire]

Xaio was about to embrace Fairheart, in both greeting and in need of warmth when instead she stayed hesitant when Centaris came up to them with some odd magic radiating with heat. She couldn't help but smile back to be polite. "So..two friends in one day? Definantly a new record..." To kill Fairheart's curiousity and future lecture,she put the book in her big coat pocket. It wasn't all that big of a book to begin with. "I'm sure they are..even though I wouldn't be sure. We didn't exactly help fight, just visit"

((I dread birthdays...))  

[Remijio Mendoza]

Gareth herd the voice in his head "Yes sir" He said. He quickly changed into his full dragon form and jetted into the air. He smirked and swung his tail making a downpoor in the desert. "Lets see how a little rain will affect this place." He said. He then flew towards the temple of Avo. He wondered what would happen when he finished all of his tasks. He smiled darkly enjoying what he was doing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ark smiled "Alright lord Shayne but I warn you I wont take it easy on you" He said. He then flew into the air and smiled he was ready for what ever he would throw at him. He then aimed his hand at him and then fired a beam of fire. He was sure it wouldn't do much to Shayne.
