A wave of an unknown magic coming towards him. It was not something Zere especially wanted to deal with. This Abel guy was quite the odd character, it seemed. Here he was in a sudden moodswing from being a somewhat crazy man to a very friendly one. And then off to this, a very pissed off guy using some odd kind of magic.
The distortion magic was met with a black cloud which suspended its movement. While the distortion magic ordinarily probably would have burned through the cloud in a matter of time, this cloud sealed the distortion magic. Once the magic was all sealed, the cloud transformed into a marble which disappeared. Very odd things would happen some day soon, Zere figured, because of today.
"Second wall," Zere chanted as he looked in the eyes of Benjamin, who was dead in front of him. East to Zere, a second wall began to rise from the ground, connecting to the first north wall. The second wall went well past the stone structure. The North Wall did as well. The ground around the walls was raised significantly. These walls had to be several feet high.
The walls of the stone structure were very damaged as a result of Abel's twisting and expanding of them. Zere knew that the wall would not hold him much longer. He jumped into the sky, staying there, floating just above the stone structure. He moved out of the direct proximity of the structure as what was left of it began to rise into the air, also floating there.
The mask inside the structure suddenly had a head behind it, wearing the mask. If one were to remove the mask, however, they'd see it was no normal head.. It was a skeleton. A skeleton who had a red, glowing magic inside it, in the place the eyes would have been if the skeleton (Bob as Zere had named it) were still alive.
The doves in the structure all began to spit some kind of black residue throughout the structure, lacing it. They were going wild. It was obvious that these were no ordinary doves. The flocking of the doves inside the air-bound structure was causing it to shake about as if it were a car being bounced around inside, not birds.
The green energy clock's long hand (on the six) began to move. Rapidly. When the hand finished moving, it was on the three. As it landed on the three, a great bell rang, like a clock bell. The clock bell's sound echoed, as if by magic, very far out.. And everything that was in the range of the sound found that the ground under it was suddenly growing all kinds of odd weeds and vines, sprouting up so suddenly.
The scene on the copper floor began to change, too. The scene had been a man and a woman at a coffee table. Now, in the scene, they were both still at the coffee table, but something was different. The woman was now missing an eye, while she had not been missing an eye before. In the place of her eye was a patch with an odd symbol decorated on it.
Below Benjamin, it was as if something was being painted on the stone structure's roof. It was a dark symbol of some sorts. It was a circle with several lines inside it forming an odd icon, a y of sorts with a cross in between it. As the symbol was drawn, it changed from black to glowing red, the light of the symbol (a seal) shining upwards around Benjamin. From his place in the air next to the stone figure, Zere watched.
"Open," he said blandly. Suddenly, the red's shining intensified as chains reached out from within the red light. The chain began to fly into the air, stretching out from within the red light. It seemed this chain was very long, as it kept stretching out into the air.. And then, the red light stopped. High above Benjamin in the air was a long chain which began to rush through the air towards him.
