"I don't like riddles," Vincent grumbled, glancing over at Satya as she began to stir. He gently laid her down on the ground, starting to reply to her, "Look, I s- Wait. What was that. Did you guys feel that? I... I think someone else is on this planet. I think I just felt something."

He glared at the pillar before him as a plasma started to bubble out of the ground and coat the building. It would not hurt Satya, Keith, or Vincent, but to everything else, it would be normal, insanely hot plasma.

"...Are you finished yet?"

With a pant, Hikaru sighed as she slowly nodded but remained on the floor. "Everything is over... In the end we were beat..." She started to shake her head, "Even if I catch up to him now... that was the last of my Spirit Energy, all I have left is enough to exist with... I have nothing left to fight with... NOTHING! No magic, no weapons, no Spirit Energy! Without my soul, it cannot replenish as it has no magic to feed off of. I do not want to admit it... but we are simply beat... " With another sigh, she simply let herself drop to the floor and rolled over onto her back, where she could simply stare up at the raincloud with a glare. "Face it. he has won..."

By now Satya (now Gwyn if it was not obvious) was standing as she looked quizzically at the scenery. If these men had kidnapped her,why did even they seem so ... lost? "Excuse me..."

As she laid down, footsteps could be heard resonating off of the arena walls. 2 men, one wearing a blue robe, and the other wearing a red robe, stood over her, and looked down, staring at her through their hoods. "Is she one of mine?" one asked.

"Resulka, look at the sky, and tell me what you think. Do you really think she's one of yours?" the other replied.

"Well there is a rainbow..." he said. "Well in any case, i'd say Psychotic."

"No, no.. there is something odd about her. I sense royal blood within her veins." the other replied. "Sociopath for sure."

"You cant be serious... why would royalty be here? Usually he would bring them directly if he deemed them worthy." He said.

The one in the blue robe shook his head at the red one. They once again continued to stare at her.

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

The plasma wouldn't even touch the Monastery. It was protected by a barrier, which was why the pillar was in place. "Thats not very respectful you know..." a voice came from behind them. There stood a hooded man wearing a green robe with gold trim.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #53 on:** October 05, 2012, 12:36:27 AM »

"Well they are obviously stupid... whoever they are."

"Indeed..." Hikaru merely nodded before immediately jumping up, and glaring at the both of them. "That is Hikaru Tyris to you bastards! Eldest of the Sage Three, the three most powerful magic users in existence and descended heirs to both the Genesis Dragon and Phoenix kingdoms; Royalty of the Sages. We conquered and tamed the entire Dimensional plane for many years!" Her tone turned sharply before growling, "Now who the fuck are you, and what do you have to do with that damn demon?!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #54 on:** October 05, 2012, 12:44:27 AM »

Neither answered her.They looked at each other, and back at her. They both brought down their hoods revealing themselves. The one in the red robe, was Father Resulka, a Priest from Mania, and the other was Father Polonius, a priest from Dementia. "Alright, i'll give you that one Polonius." Resulka said as they both stared at her.

"Well, last i had heard the Sage three werent exactly royalty anymore." Polonius said.

"Still had the bloodline though." Resulka replied.

"Im not sure if it still counts... It'd be different if she had subjects." Polonisu retorted. "But i suppose we can let the High priest decide."

Resulka nodded in agreement. "Child... do you wish to accept the blessing of which you have worked so hard to gain?" Resulka asked.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #55 on:** October 05, 2012, 12:53:32 AM »

"Blessing?" Hikaru blinked for a second, caught by surprise before returning to her glare, "Just what the hell are you going on about?!" Though it served to piss her off, and her facial expression showed it, Hikaru for the most part used what little self control she had to ignore the conversation about her royalty. She would deal with educating them at a later time. Like when she had her magic back. She also chose to ignore the fact they called her a 'child' which she was far from being, "LOOK! I do not know who you are, nor do I honestly give a damn at this point.

"But if you are with that demon, then you should very well know why the hell I am here! I am here to retrieve my soul and kick his ass! My teleport led me here when I traced the link to my soul, therefore I know for a fact, and the experience of already meeting up with him that HE IS HERE! NOW TAKE ME TO HIM!"

When Gwyn started asking questions, Vincent just sighed as he quietly said, "Quiet down, I'm working. I'm not sure what's going on. It's like there's some kind of barrier in place. It allows us to move freely all throughout, but if we try to attack, it doesn't work."

At the sound of the hooded man behind the group, Vincent turned to face the guy, who appeared to be some sort of priest. As his plasma, obviously ineffective due to the barrier, began to come back towards Vincent, retracting itself and turning back into the base magic it was created from, Vincent's eyes were locked on the man before him, almost as if they were studying him.

"Are you with Insanity?" Vincent questioned.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #57 on:** October 06, 2012, 05:08:12 PM »

"We know not of the demon you seek but there is one that you wish you to speak. Should you accept, we'll take you away." the blue robed man said.

"But should you deny, its here you will stay." Resulka finished the thought.

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

"Indeed i am with the great Lord Primoris." The priest answered. "I am Nocturne... the High Priest of the Demented." he introduced himself.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #58 on:** October 06, 2012, 06:58:48 PM »

Rhyming an indirect answers, two things that just served to increase Hikaru's already high temper. Riddles she could take, they were something to dwell on and figure out and somewhat a challenge. But rhyming on the other hand was just stupid and pointless. Especialyl when it answered nothing for her! "Just what the hell are you talking about?! Accept what? What blessing? For what?!"

"Dancing around the subject.. whatever this 'blessing' is that they want us to accept it cannot be good or they would not avoid a straight answer on the subject. ...Perhaps a curse?"

"Or some kind of bogus ritual.. and judging by these idiots I would go with the latter. Whatever it is, it will probably be difficult to get out of.. but if the other prospect is staying in this god forsaken place, I think I would rather face whatever this unknown danger is." She sighed. "Fine. I accept. THERE! Happy?"

When ignored and told to quiet town, Gwyn just shook her head in slight confusion, taken aback. "Excuse me!" She repeated more forcefully, glancing in awe at the robed man. Another kidnapper?

K2 · « **Reply #59 on:** October 08, 2012, 04:14:23 PM »

"Excuse ME," Vincent replied to Gwen, "I'm working here. Stop being rude."

He turned back to Nocturne, bowing slightly before him. "We apologize for disturbing you, your... Priest...ness... We have come here to find an associate of ours who we believe is on this planet. A mister... Antonio? Perhaps you know him?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #60 on:** October 08, 2012, 08:58:58 PM »

"Ah, yes. General Stradivari." Nocturne replied. "He is currently in a meeting with Lord Primoris, and the Countess. I probably should ask... what business do you have with the General? Its not every day that we people coming directly to the realm to find someone that does not even reside there."

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

The priests looked at each other then back to Hikaru. They nodded in agreement. "Ahrk fin zul, rok drey kod, nau tol morokei frod,
Rul lot Taazokaan motaad voth kein!
Sahrot Thu'um, med aan tuz, vey zeim hokoron pah,
Ol fin Dovahkiin komeyt ok rein!" was chanted by them both, as the room lit up and melted into a courtyard. It looked like it was part of a Monastery.

"Welcome to our humble home Ms. Tyris." Resulka exclaimed.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #61 on:** October 08, 2012, 09:34:42 PM »

Hikaru simply glared with a look of impatience, "Which is where exactly?" She was in no mood for more games, and these two were not helping that mood. "And by that I mean what planet? What dimension? WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?!" She crossed her arms, "And I STILL want to know what it is I am accepting!"

"Um... you kidnap me, and then you say I'm being rude?" Gwyn just looked shocked. "I think you don't understand the meaning of rudeness."

K2 · « **Reply #62 on:** October 09, 2012, 09:04:02 AM »

"Well, the uh... Spell, I suppose you could call it, that I used should have brought me right to him. I suppose this must be some kind of defense mechanism to prevent us from getting into the domain of your lord uninvited," he explained.

He quietly whispered in Gwen's ear, "I didn't kidnap you, I saved your ass!"

Turning back to the priest, he continued, his voice now more firm with authority and respect. "Look, sir. I have no business with the general, but my friend here," he motioned towards Keith(?), who was, well, obviously not quite himself, "Does. We don't really need to make him mad. Not sure how, but he's got something to do with Anarchy, the general of the Plexan War -- the embodiment of chaos, that is. 'Sides, he says if I can get him to the general, well, he and I can settle our differences and call it even between us, you see?"

"Look, I don't have much to ask of you, which seems fit considering I don't have much to offer you either. Whatever power I had has been revoked with the destruction of South. Whatever kind of magic I may have had is pretty much useless now as well. I have nowhere to go and nobody to be, and it really makes no difference to me if I get this guy to his destination or not, I just feel like it's the right thing to do."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #63 on:** October 09, 2012, 09:48:05 AM »

"Our blessing of course." Resulka said.

"And as for where you are, you are on world of Keizaal. The gateway to Neo Vulon." The other priest said. "In order to enter, you must have our blessing."

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

"The General is a High Acolyte of the Court of the Demented. What ever qualms you have with him must be settled outside of his Holiness' realm, or must be dealt with by speaking to Lord Primoris himself." Nocturne replied. "The choice is yours, follower of Chaos."

K2 · « **Reply #64 on:** October 09, 2012, 10:01:16 AM »

"Well, I guess that's up to you, man," Vincent replied, turning towards Keith, "The choice is yours. I'll follow you regardless. As for you," he turned to Gwen now, "Where do you need to be? It makes no difference to me. You can come with us or we can drop you off somewhere."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #65 on:** October 09, 2012, 10:19:59 AM »

"Strange names..."

"Who cares, it must be where that damn demon is. And we were right, it does seem to be some kind of bogus ritual. May as well play along," by now Hikaru had calmed down and regained her composure. Now that she was actually getting somewhere, she needed to be able to think straight. Even if these two did continue to piss her off. Though she did wish she hadn't used up most of her spirit energy. Now what was she going to do even if she did manage to get to that guy?

"So then..." Her tone turned more formal as she attempted to be 'nice'. "What is the hold up?"

Save? Gwyn just looked perplexed, what did she need saving from exactly? And what were all of these people talking to. Startled out of her thoughts when asked a question, Gwyn blinked before answering, "Umm.. I don't know where I was to begin with... the last place I remember was umm.." she struggled to think back, trying to recall the memory. "Was being at some type of fighting tournament, and talking to another there. Did something happen at the tournament to require me to be saved from?"

K2 · « **Reply #66 on:** October 09, 2012, 10:26:51 AM »

"Tournament? I've been out of the loop. The last tournament I remember is the Plexan one, but who knows how long ago that was," Vincent replied, "We found you in Hell. Uh. South. Well. It was South. The Old South now I guess. That has a nice ring to it. Old South. Anyway. You appeared and did this weird thing where you like... Destroyed everything. Then you passed out."

He paused and thought about how insane he sounded. Maybe it was because he was on one of Insanity's planets. "Okay, well, anyway, you showed up and were in a sort of trance or something. You looked kind of funny too."

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #67 on:** October 11, 2012, 04:02:38 AM »

"This 'General' and I have many things to discuss. Although I may suspect words shall not be the primary method to communicate. While I have no quarrel with the Lord of Madness, I will not allow my prey to escape."Keith? said finally, not entirely certain what was going on. His memories and thoughts were beginning to settle, but would probably take a long time to finish sorting his mental state. As it was, he was still unaware what memories were his, what weren't, or what the difference was. To the small girl, he simply said,"If I recall right, you destroyed Hell. Whited it out or something. And the last tournament there was eight years ago. If thats the last thing you remember, then I should recommend you try drinking something a little lighter next time."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #68 on:** October 11, 2012, 05:33:07 AM »

"Hm.. strange, I don't recall any of that," Gwyn looked thoughtful for a moment, "It may have been Satya, but she hardly ever comes out or talks, and when she does, it's never more than a word or two. She has amnesia, you see. And she's currently asleep... However, I suppose I will join you, I wasn't really doing anything before this, and if the tournament is indeed over, I'm sure my schedule is clear." Gwyn smiled as she nodded before adding, "...So where is it we are going and what are we doing?"

Hikaru continued to glare as her patience wore thin, "Well?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #69 on:** October 17, 2012, 05:12:49 AM »

"As I do respect everyone's want for revenge, and what have you, the Lord of Madness has already agreed to another belligerent party's request to settle differences with General Stradivari. However, if you do insist I or one of my priests can escort you to the Countess so that you may discuss this with a higher authority." Nocturne informs them.

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

Resulka simply nodded to his colleague. "She has given consent." he informed him. The colleague nodded in response. Both priests put their hands together and chanted.

"Naal our suleyk mu ofan you kogaan "

A circle formed around Hikaru, with lines making formations within. It glowed green.

"Kom mu aak hin kotin fin qo."

The circle started to transition to blue, and grew brighter, and brighter.

"Nocturne's zul kos ofan ahrk suleyk wah lo. Kodaav vahzah mir wah Drog Primoris ahrk siiv Insana fus. Fin kogaan do vul morokei naal dinok nivahriin bovul."

A great force was now exerted from the circle, up and outwards, blowing Hikaru's hair up in a flailing manner, and blowing back the hoods of the priests.

"Ok dun Drog Primoris kos werid." The concluded. After a few moments, the circle dissipated, and the priests approached her. The blessing now complete, she would now feel the immediate affects of becoming a Demented. Had she her soul, she would feel her new power as well.

"How are you now, Child?" Resulka asks her.

K2 · « **Reply #70 on:** October 17, 2012, 01:11:46 PM »

"Another party?" Vincent asked, skeptical, "Differences? I don't think we're on the same page here. You must be talking about that other group. I believe Chaos was among them... They were seeking out this guy, trying to find something that belongs to Lady Hikaru, if I understand right."

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #71 on:** October 18, 2012, 02:59:17 AM »

"Not likely. Well, they may be attempting to retrieve something belonging to that firestarter, I dont know about that. But I know for a fact that my brother no longer lives. And whatever expedites our progression towards the death of this 'General'. If I must speak with a member of your faction, then very well." Keith? said, first to Vincent and then towards the guard. Despite his words, his tone was fairly even, implying indifference to who he had to speak with or why rather than annoyance. He turned to his other ally, saying,"For now the only quest I have is to confront a former General of Hell who has...To put it lightly, he has wronged me. And to do this, it appears we're meeting with a noble of Insanity's domain. On your note, you mentioned a 'Satya'? From how you describe her, I do believe that is very similar to how you were behaving. You were very quiet, at any rate."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #72 on:** October 18, 2012, 03:52:27 AM »

"Ask me that again... and I will make sure you are destroyed..." Hikaru said through gritted teeth before she promptly fell to her knees, one hand on her forehead, and the other holding herself up. Obviously that ritual was a little more than she had anticipated, but for the life her, Hikaru could not figure out the magic that had been used or what spell took place, even when she wracked her memories of reading most of the spell books in the Records of Time. If it was not in those, just what the fuck could it be?

Of course, the fact past memories had started to flash before her mind more rapidly than before did not quite help her thinking in fact it was starting to hinder it more than ever now. Just what was the deal with that?

"It is your own fault you know, you should never have killed them..."

"Who are you?!!"
"Who are you?!!" The question came from both Hikaru and the second split, but no longer Ingrounded, Hikaru that was within the back of the mind of Hikaru, at the same time, both aloud and within the mind.

"Wait.. if it is not you, then what?!"

"Do you not remember? Those many years ago you killed me, and then put me to sleep for the rest?" The newer 'voice' sounded depressed yet at the same time soft and small.

"Well either that ritual was one of possession or... we never left that room and have both literally lost it. I am strongly hoping it is the former...

"GRRR.. Just shut up right now! ...BOTH OF YOU!" Hikaru hastily shoved the past memories aside ignoring the cries of protest from the other 'voice' and forced herself to standing, her glare darker than ever as she growled at the men before her. "Just what the fuck was that ritual?! I demand to know the exact spell!" Before waiting to receive her answer, Hikaru simply shook her head in disbelief with a short laugh, "NO! You know what! Better idea! Take me to the damn demon now!" She reached out to grab the robe collar of one of them, not caring if she succeeded or not.

"I played your damn games, and participated in whatever your ritual was, NOW I DEMAND THE PRIZE! DEMON! NO-" Hikaru suddenly paused her screaming as a wave of something big hit her, a wave of ... from the feel of it, a large, extremely powerful magic and an equally frightening signature that followed it." Her expression quickly changed as Hikaru glanced around, looking for the source of the signature as she glanced in the direction of where it had been felt. "...Did you feel that?"

Gwyn merely smiled in respond to Keith, "Sounds fun."

K2 · « **Reply #73 on:** October 18, 2012, 01:13:05 PM »

"I guess we're off to see the wizard, then," Vincent joked, eyes locked onto the priest's.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #74 on:** October 20, 2012, 06:56:27 AM »

"The effect is strong on her... She is definitely as powerful as we thought." The purple priest said to Resulka. "Perhaps we should bring her to Lord Primoris."

"Agreed. We shall." Resulka responded. he now focused his attention to Hikaru. "Child, would you like to speak with our leader? Im sure he has something very special in store for you."

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

Nocturne clapped his hands together. A circle now began to surround them, with lines making odd shapes and symbols in the middle of it. "Drog Primoris, Aak." He chanted. The circle grew lighter, and soon the scenery melted away into a large throne room. "Welcome to New Dementia!" he announces.
