She looks around to make certain that nobody followed. "Okay, the coast is clear," she turns to Peterson. "We should be able to speak without interuptions here. You go first..." \|With chaos as my guide, I walk the plains in search of a worthy battle....\|

"You said once before that you'd train me, and as you've probably noticed by now, I have managed to gain the powers of Chaos." Peterson looks up at Asaki. "I can't control them. I don't know how, and I'm afraid that I'm going to hurt someone if I don't learn what I need to know soon." Peterson looks down for a second, and then looks back up. "Can you help me?"
Soul Reaver	Fall of the OGHRUN Empire	#63	[-]
Posts: 1675 Jul 26 02 8:00 PM The Immortal Brigadier General More My Recent Posts	The death of the slave master represents the final blow for the OGHRUN resistance. As his headless corpse collapses to his knees and crashes to the ground, the will to fight drains from the few remaining OGHRUN soldiers. They drop their weapons and hold their hands up in surrender. Soul Reaver arrives shortly afterwards, as the one-time slaves lead the soldiers away to the remaining cells in the arena. With the fighting apparently dying down, some of the OGHRUN citizens slowly dare to emerge from their homes. Women, children, and workers fearfully and uncertainly walk from the doorways of their houses, their glances lingering on the now-empty pinnacle of the Black Steel tower. Some slaves approach them warily. However, no hostilites break out. Both sides are tired of bloodshed - they now ache only for a rest from the contant battles. Soul Reaver looks around, and decides that Darkstar will not be needed here - with a crimson flash, it disappears once more. He instead turns to look around at his companions. "It is good to see you all whole and well. I greatly regret what happened here this day." He then sees Fei. A small smile dances on his lips for a moment. "Fei Serumen. It is good to see you have decided to join us once more." However, his impassive mask returns quickly. Soul Reaver silently notes the absence of Asaki and Peterson, but forces it out of his mind for now. He continues in a loud and clear voice. "Everyone... unfortunately we do not have a lot of time to waste. We must continue our search as soon as possible. Gather everyone together, and meet at the front gate of the city as soon as is convenient - I will be there shortly, after I retreive Blooddrinker." That said, Soul Reaver turns his back, and heads towards the city gates. He meets many enquiring and fearful looks from the OGHRUN citizens. Perhaps they are slowly beginning to understand that he is, indeed, their 'NERKON'? Or do they now see him as the reaper that destroyed their civillisation? Soul Reaver speaks no word to them as he briskly walks past. Near the gates of the city, he comes across a pen holding the massive, six-legged steeds of the OGHRUN riders. Excellent. I will be able to reach Blooddrinker in a matter of minutes. Soul Reaver leads one of the smaller animals from the pen, and leaps onto its broad back. Though it is somewhat uncomfortable, he quickly masters the beast - after all, he has ridden these creatures before on a previous visit to this world. Soul Reaver rides rapidly from the gates of the city, the horse-like creature thundering out onto the grassy hills at a breathtaking pace... (ooc: We can now head off once you're all done here. By the way, the shatterd remains of the 'NERKON' statue are on the way to the gate, so your characters will see it as they head towards it. That's just if anyone wants to comment on it.)

She grabs Keseno and slowly picks him up, As keseno gets up his body changes, his wings shorten half way and turn red, his hair changes to blonde and shows everyone kawanua is now kawanua. " Hello Shenba, " Shenba:: Hi kawanua, I missed you " Indeed, Kawanua smiles as Soul talks, he coughs slightly. extremely weak and helpless. Shenba helps him up putting one arm over her head to help him walk. the slowly walk past all the corpses and fighters, Ignoring everying including Tamrissa, Fei and the others. Kawanua hair covers most of his face, his head hanging tirelessly. Shenba stares straight ahead, as the few remaing OGHRUNS, are rounded up. She looks at the borken statue then looks straight ahead again. " So tired. " Shenba:: we are nearly there, Kawanua and shenba reach the front gate, Shenba helps kawanua lean against a tree, they both sit down leaning against each other silent. listening to the sounds, Kawanua's breathin slowly returning to normal. " These clothes I'm wearing are weird, " Shenba: heh, True

Maybe he played a larger part in this than I thought... Kitharsis looks for Asaki but she is nowhere to be seen. He wants to thank the young warrior for the generous boost of energy. Perhaps later... "Well, seeing that I have no place to go, no way to get there, and nothing to cling to here, I suppose I shall follow you all. I have a feeling you all have the tendency for conflicts. Perhaps I would be of use. Being a fighter for my entire life, I know nothing else. I also would like to know what the power was inside of me. Perhaps it will show itself again. Perhaps..." After the speech Kith waits for the others to make a move. (ooc: this will probably be my last post until tuesday. Sorry guys, vacation calls see ya around)
Asaki Masako	What is Chaos?	#66	[-]
Posts: 513 Jul 27 02 4:55 PM Recruit More My Recent Posts	Asaki listens as Peterson speaks to her, nodding every so often in understanding. "...as you've probably noticed by now, I have managed to gain the powers of Chaos...I can't control them. I don't know how, and I'm afraid that I'm going to hurt someone if I don't learn what I need to know soon....Can you help me?" The teenager crosses an arm over her midsection, places the elbow of her other arm over the other and strokes her chin, thinking deeply. "Well....," she shrugs. "No matter which way you hack at it, Chaos will be Chaos. It's powers are unpredictable. Sooner or later, it will mess with your head and there won't be a thing you can do about it." Kasei comes around the corner near the two warriors. Kasei: There you are! I've been looking all over. C'mon the others are leaving without you. Asaki looks over Peterson's shoulder. "Don't worry about it. We'll catch up." Kasei: Hey, children. This is not a field trip. We're not here to sight see, we've got a job to do. "Give us a second, alright! We'll be right there!" The fire rod flies away from the two and towards the others. Asaki lowers her head. "sigh I'm still not certain I have the right to do this." She pulls the gourd from her sash and looks at it, holding it tightly in her hands. She looks Peterson in the eyes and holds up the gourd for him to see. "This is Celestial Toxin in here. It's your basic DNA. It's the key to controlling the Chaos magic within you. It takes time, maybe even years to master, because it's different for everyone. Every Chaos sorcerer has it, even me. The difference is...I was born with it," she pulls it towards herself and clutches it tightly to her torso. "What I'm trying to say is...I don't know what the toxin's effects will have on your genetic material." The teenager stares Peterson dead in the eye. "You'd most likely start convulsing, froth at the mouth and grow an extra limb. Then your teeth and hair would rot instantaneously and fall out. All the while, losing your bodily fluids before drying out completely and turning to dust..." She remains silent for a while. "Nah, I'm just teasing you man...I think. Yeh, no harm no foul. Here," she raises the gourd towards Peterson. "This is Celestial toxin though. It will completely combine your DNA with Chaos energy." Once Peterson takes the gourd, Asaki holds fast to the gourd and his hands. "--But there is something that you must keep in mind! Take a good look at me Peterson and remember....that I didn't always look this way. Chaos has a way of molding you to it's own liking at it's own discretion. It can't be beaten nor can it be comprehended. But it can be controlled. Had I not had that willpower at my witholding...well...I might've looked a lot worse than I do now...maybe even dead. Should you decide to take this, it would mean consequences. Should you decide to take this, there may not be a scrap of humanity left in your entire core. Should you decide to take this...you would be leaving your fate--your future--your life--in the hands of Chaos...Be sure that that is really what you want..." \|With chaos as my guide, I walk the plains in search of a worthy battle....\|

She glances up as the group begins to move again. Yue grips Kanshisha and walks slowly up to the gates. She glanced around at the many frightened OGHRUN citizens as she passed, she gave a slight smile and continued walking. Yue pauses for a secong and jumps a little to get a better grip on Kanshisha. She eventually makes it up to the front gates where some of the group already waits. Yue spots Shenba and Kawanua just ahead. She approachs them and smiles. "Kawanua?... glad to see your awake." We are not living, but merely existing out of the fear of dying.
Soul Reaver	Ride to the City	#68	[-]
Posts: 1675 Jul 28 02 10:25 AM The Immortal Brigadier General More My Recent Posts	The steeds' six hooves pound the grassy hills as Soul Reaver drives it forwards. Though Blooddrinker is a fair distance from the city, the beasts' speed allows him to close in on it very rapidly. It is not long before Soul Reaver can see a sliver of glinting crimson protruding from the crest of a large hill. Soul Reaver spurs his steed faster to reach the blade. Soul Reaver's face reflects his grim mood when he reaches the sword. Like a splinter in the landscape, Blooddrinker has gouged a earthy furrow into the ground before coming to a halt facing almost directly upright. The grass near the blade seems to have begun to wither, and the earth itself has grown dark and cracked. Soul Reaver wheels his steed around the sword, then reaches down and pulls it from the ground with a metallic ring. "So you've finally decided to retreive me. I had already feared that I would have to look for a new... master." Soul Reaver scowls at the blade. "I would rather die than allow you the freedom to destroy at your own whims, Blooddrinker. Remember that." The blade's hollow reply cannot hide the leer in its voice. "Do not worry... that thought has never left my mind." Soul Reaver sheathes Blooddrinker, and spurs his steed back towards the OGHRUN city...

I don't want this to take unreasonably long.) Soul Reaver, Blooddrinker once more sheathed on his back, rides back towards the city gates. He sees a few of his companions there - Kawanua, Shenba, and Yue all stand waiting, with Kanshisha lying nearby. Soul Reaver rides up to them, then dismounts. He leads the beast back into the pen, giving it a pet on the neck before closing the gate behind it. He then walks back over to Kawanua and the others. His face becomes grim as he sees Kawanua. He bows slightly when he sees him. "Kawanua. I see you have awoken. I must ask for your forgiveness for what occurred in the Umbra. I had not forseen..." He falters for a moment, then gives up and rises again. "I am sorry, Kawanua."

The only thing i am now afraid of is whether Keseno breaks free, he wont be split from my body but he can some times take control.... I am cetain he will not just say Hi in his cheerful evil maner to you. " Kawanua Attitude to everyone has changed dramatically, no longer cheerful and always smiling now grim and depressed. Kawanua stands up shrugging off Shenba as she tries to help him up. " I feel uncomfortable in these clothes. " Kawanua walks behind a tree hiden from peoples view, the sound and light of a spell being casted is seen and heard, Kawanua returns from behind the tree in a Maroon with gold edging cloak/robe. His hood over his face making it incredibly hard to see his face, all that can be seen is his red eyes glowing slightly. " Soul, Why was i allowed back? I thought Inferno would rather keep me, I don't understand. " Kawanua sits back down rather quietly his breathing heavy and wheazing. Kawanua Sits away from everyone, feeling more comfortable away from his companions. His robe has similar markings from Everworld. Dragon stitchings are on his hood. Kawanua suffles crossing his arms trying to keep warm.

"Indeed, in all other circumstances Inferno would never release a soul back to the world of the living. However, your life was a form of... payment. We agreed to aid Inferno by destroying some form of evil entity - we are still uncertain as to its exact nature." Soul Reaver shrugs. "All I can say for certain is this - despite being an enemy of Inferno, this entity is a great threat to us all too. If you are feeling up to it, I can impart the same vision upon you that has plagued me since my last visit to Dynaria. However, the experience is nauseating and disturbing."

I ask you that Soul Reaver " Kawanua looks back down to the ground, he shivers as a breeze hits him obviously his energy not fully returned. He looks back up at Soul, He smiles under his darkened hood as he remembers something he lost. " Soul, You still have my Gauntlets do you not? May i have them back please? they are for the Council leader only. Only he or she can wear them, and i would like them back now. The gauntlets plz Soul " Kawanua extends one of his hands, His hand glows a strange blackened colour, it crackles with energy for a moment then dies slightly.

Soul Reaver holds the sword at arm's length, his eyes hard and cold. "I saw that burst of energy, Kawanua. That was Keseno. I will not return the gauntlets until I am certain that it is really you in control." The sword stays in place, completely rock-steady, as Soul Reaver looks down at Kawanua with a fierce gaze.

Kawen still controls Keseno. keseno has a grudge against you, thats it. the energy was only his greeting. Keseno is in the deepest part of my soul, unable to ever control me. " kawanua hissed out what he said like he can no longer trust anyone. " I have my own problems and you so far have not trusted me once, A nice welcome. A bargaining item i seem to be at this time. Not even trusted by a friend i have known for a long time. That breaks my heart Soul, It rips my soul apart. " Kawanua looks back down, Ignoring anything that happens. " That that damn sword away from me. " Shenba sits there her eyes wide open, she never in her life with kawanua has seen him this way. She thinks to her self wondering if kawanua's inferno incounter has changed the once kind heart angel into a depressed cold hearted warrior. She looks away then stares to Yue. Shenba:: Yue, i think its best to leave kawanua alone for the time being.

Soul Reaver reaches into his Infinity Pouch and takes out the two gauntlets Kawanua entrusted to him before his death. He holds them out. "Take them. You are still Kawanua... even if you are no longer the Kawanua I knew." Soul Reaver's expression does not change. "Forgive my harsh response, Kawanua, but I must be prepared to defend myself from Keseno should he emerge once more." Soul Reaver hands the gauntlets to Kawanua, then turns towards the others. "I am glad you are here, and I hope that the others will join us soon." He bows towards Yue. "Milady, thank you for taking care of Kanshisha. Let us hope he reawakens soon, so that he can continue his journey with us."

" If i let you split i'd lose half and most of my powerful strengths and also, your me, not some one else. Just a alter ego of a corrupted part of my training and my soul. And you will stay where you belong. Where the soul and all of the soul belongs. " Kawanua closes his eyes slightly as Keseno returns to his captive place grunting in fustration.

My will is to fight evil. I will not become evil. The Chaos will fall, and I will help with their destruction. I will finally have the power to take them on. I will no longer be a burden to this party. I will pull my own weight, and above all, I will not turn against them. Peterson stares at the toxin as he thinks. He utters one sentance out loud. "All I've undergone, I will keep on......" Peterson tilts his head back and drinks some of the toxin, swallowing it quickly. ((OOC: Asaki, since I have no idea what Peterson's reaction to drinking the toxin should be, I'm going to let you god-mod it. That way, I know I'm not screwing anything up. ))

Posts: 1297 Jul 29 02 5:57 PM Recruit More My Recent Posts	Tamrissa tenses as her wounds are taken and she raises her eyes to Asaki. Thank you, she speaks quietly, a slight edge of sarcasm in her voice. She stands slowly, head bowed and fingers laced together at her stomach where the claw marks rip across her clothing. Her head turns towards Fei, her eyes very reluctantly going to his face. With a silent deep breath, she moves towards him. The look on her face is impassive but her eyes seem to sparkle with a trace of bitter resolve. I hope you are planning on staying. If all the worlds we go to are as hostile as the last two, we could use another person, she pauses a few feet from him. Her chin lifts as she stares at him, being near to him pulling at her insides and stirring the drowsing beast that has become a part of her. We need to go to the gate, she says distractedly and glances to the ground. She bends down to the fallen Oghrun beside her and pulls yet another gourd from the pouch at its belt. Her curls spill over her face as she straightens and closes the distance between them. Quickly, she shoves the gourd into his hand and then turns. Drink it while we walk. It will help with those wounds. Then you can tell me how the Umbras fare. She glances back briefly as she begins to follow the others
