With a swift clap of the hands, the scenery began to melt around her. She would now find herself alone in a forest. It had alot of odd looking trees, much like the ones she saw upon her arrival to Insanus. Something was different this time though... The voice had briefly gone away from her mind. This place gave off an odd feeling of home.

Then, the voice came back. She could now feel a strong magic signature.... one of an Embodiment. Emerging from the forest was what looked like Antonio, Koty, and K2. They were chatting, laughing, and looked like they were having a great time. They stop upon seeing her and stare.

"Oh now that is definitely fake."

"Do not be so sure..." Hikaru glanced around before growling at the sight of the trees which seemed the same to her. "It seems we are completely back where we had started! HONESTLY, I cannot tell what is real or fake right now. Obviously we were tri- I was tricked."

"Well this is definitely fake. Koty is dead."

"And it is because you were not here that he is."

"That does not rule out the fact that our bro- MY brother could have switched sides. That part could very well be real, K2323 has double-crossed several times in the past." Hikaru sighed, her hand on her head before mumbling in an irritated tone, "I really wish I had my magic about now..."

"Tell me about it. Then we could get rid of... Who ARE you anyways? A possession?

"I am the voice of your conscience speaking!"

"...Right"
"...Right"

"Whatever..." Hikaru growled before turning to the 'group' and pointing, "ALRIGHT DEMON! I do not know if you are real, fake, another damned illusion, or what at this point. But if you are real, I DEMAND my soul back. And if you are fake... I DEMAND THE GAMES TO END, EITHER WAY I DEMAND THIS TO BE OVER WITH!"

"You two may go..." 'Antonio' said. K2 and Koty simply disappeared back into the forest. 'Antonio' approached her, and stopped short a a few feet. Quickly examining her, and nodded. "What is your name again?" he asked her.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #3 on:** October 22, 2012, 02:27:07 AM »

Hikaru could only blink before growling, "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

"Illusion. Definitely. Best to play along...."

"Grrr.. FINE!" Hikaru glared at him, her eyes further narrowed, "Hikaru Tyris! Eldest of the Sage Three! The three most powerful magic users in existence! Descended airs to both the Phoenix and Genesis kingdoms! Current final queen of the Phoenix kingdom! NOW enough of this! RETURN MY SOUL!" With every statement she said, Hikaru's yelling grew louder, snapping each item she named off the list pertaining to her title.

"You could say please."

"You could shut up.
"You could shut up."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #4 on:** October 23, 2012, 01:34:14 AM »

"You seem to have a cause that is worth your loyalty. I was also not aware of this presence of royalty." 'Antonio' said. With a nod, the illusion melted away revealing Insana, the Embodiment of Insanity. He took a few more steps forwards. "Allow me to introduce myself, i am the creator of calamity." he quickly melts into the ground, and immediately reappears behind her. "I am Insana Primoris. The Embodiment of Insanity." he says to her.

"You know I, and I know you. The only question now is, what should we do?" he asks.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #5 on:** October 23, 2012, 02:36:45 AM »

"Great. More rhyming..."

"As long as it is not riddles, it is fine..." Hikaru sighed. Insanity no wonder. That would explain the scenery and illusions. But did she end up with an embodiment when she was supposedly supposed to be sent to the location of that demon? Was this in of itself an illusion as well?"

"Wait... That illusion of Koty back when we first teleported here. It mentioned something about the Embodiment Insanity, did it not? Something about him knowing where we were..."

"But that an illusion.. a lie. Or was it completely...." Hikaru fell silent a moment before scowling at Insana, "You could start with explaining things first. Like why after I cast a spell to bring me to the location of my soul, I find myself somewhere I have never seen before with an illusion that mentions you yet seems to be working for that damn Demon. Then when I finally get somewhere after stupidly playing along and accepting their bogus ritual, I end up before you, instead. Are you perhaps working with him? Or are you the one that glitched my spell in the first place?!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #6 on:** October 23, 2012, 02:45:44 AM »

"I am a force unaligned. I hold no side. I encompass all powers. I can only change the tide." he said. He now reappeared above Hikaru, like he was laying of a sofa in mid-air. "A glitch, a kink. A curious wink. What has brought you here? I'll allow you to think."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #7 on:** October 23, 2012, 02:57:27 AM »

Hikaru was unamused. "Fine.. If you are going to give no straight answers... Then I will just proceed to not talk to you." With that, she started to walk away.

"I see what you are doing. If he truly is Insanity, then he should not be able to take being ignored."

"Correct.. I give it a few minutes at most."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #8 on:** October 23, 2012, 03:03:34 AM »

Insana looks at her as she walked over away from him. He simply shrugged and drew his sword. "She isnt very nice is she?" he says.

"South will do that to you." A demonic voice came in reply.

"Oh well. I suppose i'll just have to send her back to the plane." he says.

"Seems like it. Speaking of which, i recognized that one fellow from before. Whats his name... Randy? No. Andy? No... so close.... ANTONIO! Thats it." the voice said.

"Oh yes. He is quite the entertainer. You must have known him from south... correct?" Insana asks.

"Yes. Yes. I remember. He was a foreman in the 2." the voice came in reply.

"Ah, yes. Good stories." Insana began laughing. It seemed like he could do this forever.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #9 on:** October 23, 2012, 03:29:52 AM »

One thing many did not know about Phoenixes is that they had very good hearing. Even without magic. To this, Hikaru simply ignored and continued to walk further away.

"Well, looks like he found someone else to talk to. So much for that plan."

Hikaru simply scoffed, "Who cares..." That's when she stopped suddenly, catching the middle part of the conversation. "Hold on... That other one just mentioned... Grrrr, Dammit! He DOES know that damn demon!" Abruptly turning around, Hikaru swiftly walked back, her anger now increasingly apparent.

When she got there, Hikaru looked around for the source of the other voice, but when finding none, she just smacked her forehead with her palm and groaned. He was talking to himself? She was really starting to hate Insanity now. "Okay look! Forget what I said before! Just tell me where the damn demon Antonio is! "

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #10 on:** October 25, 2012, 01:36:53 AM »

"Seems like she's in a talking mood again." The sword said. Insana turned to look at her.

"I guess so." he said. "Until next time, Rtas." he sheaths his sword, and faces her. "Please answer my question, child of sage. These questions have purpose, not randomly laid."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2012, 02:20:47 AM »

Hikaru crossed her arms and glared. Hadn't she already answered that? Sighing, she decided to go along with it anyways, anything to get somewhere. "I am here to find that damn demon Antonio! He stole my soul and then stranded me ...somewhere... So I used spirit energy to cast a spell to take me to the location of the my soul! ONLY! I end up somewhere with obviously no soul in sight! I do not know what happened exactly, if the spell failed, was stopped, or where it even took me. But after playing game after game and getting quite fed up with it all, I accepted some stupid blessing that was not explained and ended up here... Wherever 'here' is. Now..."

Hikaru pointed at him once more, "I DEMAND ANSWERS!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #12 on:** October 26, 2012, 03:53:33 AM »

"You want and you plead. Who cares? Not me. You dont ask, you demand. I follow no one's command." Insana replied. "Im here to help you see. It you was you who came to me. In the maze, and the hall. Around large arena walls. I found you. I saved you. This you cannot dispute. All logic is lost... you cannot compute."

With a snap of his fingers, her clothes were burnt off, and replaced with a blue robe. "You need to walk the walk." he said. and appeared beside her. "And talk the talk. If you want to fix this mess, you first need to know how to dress," he said.

"The demon can wait. Your meeting is fate. For now you're with me. And i am the key." he puts his hand of her right shoulder.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #13 on:** October 26, 2012, 04:37:59 AM »

Hikaru sighed. Well there went what was it? Her fourth, or was it fifth outfit? He could have at least left her, her signature cloak. With it she at least looked like sage royalty. Without it, she may as well have been nothing but a follower, especially the way she looked now. Which did not please Hikaru in the least.

"I think it is time for a new approach..." Hikaru muttered through grit teeth before moving away from him rather roughly, her glare more darker than before as she stared him down. "Let us get one thing straight Insanity! I do not serve embodiments. I do not follow them. And I most certainly in that regard, DO NOT respect them. I may not exactly know what is going on, or why I ended up before you instead of that god forsaken cretin, but I assure you, it was not my intention."

Arms crossed, Hikaru continued. "Now judging by that talk you just had with yourself or whatever the hell it was. I know you know that demon! If he is here, then I am only here to retrieve my soul, nothing more! I am sure you are aware of who the Embodiment of Chaos is, correct? Well if I do not obtain my soul soon, according to my brother and my fath-" she paused, her eyes glancing to the side in unease before returning to stare at him, once more. "The no longer living leader of the Anrufe, the Embodiment of Chaos will be returning as Revelation is the only key to stopping it which besides Kurai and my sons, only I have!

"So tell me his damn location already!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #14 on:** October 27, 2012, 08:39:06 AM »

"Chaos is coming? Oh what glee! An event such as this deserves a party!" Insana exclaimed. "As for the demon, i can tell you this. One has already come to to settle this miss." he informs her.

"As for your demands, ive told you before. You're destined to meet him, on the royal floor."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #15 on:** October 27, 2012, 08:51:05 AM »

Well that approach seemed to have gotten her nowhere. "Grrrr, it is no one else business to settle but mine as it is my soul, dammit! If anyone else obtains it it will be the same damn situation I am already in! A sages soul is a way to control them!!!" Hikaru went on bitching for a few more minutes about how it was a very bad idea if anyone else obtained her soul before her until she finally gave up.

Sighing, Hikaru simply shook her head and muttered in defeat, "Fine...." She glared, "Where to...?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2012, 05:12:39 AM »

"We're already here....." he says. The scenery melted around them, into a large cityscape. It was all just an illusion. "Welcome to the city of Insania!" Insana announced. All around them, people were rushing by, and going with the movements of this busy city. Behind them was a very large cathedral of sorts. One side made of a dark colored stone, and the other colored with a lighter colored stone. A thin green line ran down between the two, and literally separated the city, and the realm for that matter, in half.

A large archway stood before them with the words "St. Insana Square" inscribed upon it. A large statue stood atop it holding perfectly balanced scales, but one could notice its subtle insanity. One side had absolutely nothing upon it, while the other had stacks, and stacks of golden bars.

"Welcome home!" He said to Hikaru.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2012, 06:57:51 AM »

As Hikaru took in the sights, she looked from one person to another focusing on the magic signature of each. Many different kinds of all varieties, but not the one she was searching for. "Figures," Hikaru muttered to herself while barely paying attention to Insana, "He is probably it or masking it..." Her attention immediately went back to the embodiment as he introduced the place. Well that sure explained a lot. Ending up before the Embodiment of Insanity, and now a city that seemed to be nothing but complete insanity.. Just what had she gotten herself into? Better yet...

Hikaru abruptly stopped as he 'welcomed' her, her thoughts flashing back to everything that had transpired thus far and focusing on everything that had been said. Home... Forced change of clothes without explanation... and then talks of being saved? Suddenly it all added up... No, She had been wrong... It was not what had she gotten herself into, but more of, what exactly had she agreed to? "Damn cults..."

Hikaru quickly interjected as she spoke up, "I think you are misunderstanding something..Insanity, I am here by mistake in what was complete accident. Nothing more. So I do not know what you are going on about, or what I may have agreed to and gotten mixed up in.. But I assure you it is a mistake... I am not part of this, I am NOT insane! " Hikaru looked skeptic, "DO I LOOK insane to you?!"

"I do not think you should have accepted that blessing or allowed that ritual..."

"Oh sure, now you say it! What happened to playing along?! If I had not accepted, we would not have gotten anywhere. Obviously that moron is here. We just need to find him!"

"If this truly is Insanity, then the guy is insane and we are never going to get anywhere at this rate anyways. We NEED to ditch him! So that we may look for that moron ourselves without these stupid games.. But how..."

"Hmm, perhaps some kind of tr-" Hikaru stopped as she realized everything she said to the other Hikaru was aloud, and quickly shut up. Maybe she was going insane. Or at least appeared it.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #18 on:** October 30, 2012, 01:15:16 AM »

"Hmm?" Insana looked over to her, noticing that she was talking to herself. "Oh yes. Oh yes. I forgot to mention the sides. You are a Demented, right? So your side is the blue one." He points over to the blue side.

"The other side is Mania. They're red." he said and pointed to the red side. "Well, thats it for the tour. Follow me please." he said and walked towards the cathedral. "We have a few more things to do Ms. Tyris."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #19 on:** October 30, 2012, 01:29:30 AM »

"Grrr.. That does it...." Hikaru increased her pace and walked briskly ahead, cutting in to block his path with a glare at him, "I SAID! Do I look insane to you? Because I most certainly am not! Now tell me what the hell is going and what the fuck is a demented! NOW! What did I agree to?!!"

"Just ditch him already!"

"In a minute!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #20 on:** November 01, 2012, 06:13:20 AM »

"Why, you agreed to become part of this wondrous society of beings! The demented are those whom have been given my blessing, of course." Insana said as if he thought that everyone knew this. He kept walking towards the church, and stopped at the door.

"If you want to come above, you must first go below. After you go down, you shall finally meet your foe." Insana said to her.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #21 on:** November 01, 2012, 06:37:46 AM »

"Had I known I was joining a cult of insane FREAKS, I would not have agreed to it!" Hikaru continued to follow him as she shouted, "I came here to retrieve my soul and NOTHING more. Those morons never explained anything of what I was agreeing to or clarified anything at all! So this was all a mistake and you can just take your damn blessing back!"

Hikaru simply scoffed at his last statement, "And how do I know that this is not just another trick?" At this point Hikaru felt highly suspicious of everything and looked like she could kill the next thing that crossed her.

"I guess that ritual was not so bogus after all..."

"SHUT UP!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #22 on:** November 04, 2012, 01:06:41 AM »

"You must be deaf, I've said before. You want your soul? Walk through this door." Insana instructed. "You have a lock, but not the key. Your soul is the prize, so follow me."

He opened the doors and waved her inside. "After you miss tyris."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #23 on:** November 04, 2012, 01:31:29 AM »

"First he says to follow, then he has us go in first. The moron highly needs to make up his mind..."

"What else can we expect? Insane, remember?" Hikaru sounded somewhat annoyed as she sighed and walked through and awaited him to do the same. "Though I do wish he would actually listen. I am the deaf one? He has not paid attention to a damn thing I have said unless it benefited what he was already going to say! And then there is that incessant rhyming..." She growled. "WHAT did I ever do to deserve this?!"

"Made a deal with Lucifer years ago?"

"Do not remind me..."

"Had we been whole, that mistake would not have happened, as we would not have died to begin with."

"Whatever... I will follow for now. If this also turns out to be a dead lead, then yet, we will be ditching him just as soon as possible."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #24 on:** November 06, 2012, 06:20:10 PM »

Insana promptly walked in behind her, and closed the doors. The room immediately lit up in a combination of blue, red, and purple revealing a large sanctuary. A few people were sitting at the pews, reading Insanity's Bible, and praying silently. A lone priest was present at the altar, more specifically it was Father Resalka, the priests Hikaru had met earlier.

"Ah, Lord Primoris! Very nice to see you again." he greets Insana. Hikaru immediately caught his attention. "And I see you found the gift i sent you. How wonderful." he said.

"Yes, Resalka. She is definitely entertaining... and her defiance is as cute as a pit of dead clowns." Insana yelled back, and wore a wide grin.

"Yes, yes... So, how are you enjoying Insania so far Ms. Tyris?" Resalka asked.
