((ooc: Thanks Tam
. mmm4:10 am...this is going to be a long post....))
Danyael seems to ignore all around him as he is oblivious to his environment. It appeared as if he was in his own little zone as he continued to walk away from the courtyards of the palace. Thoughts lingered about him as he trekked onward through the gardens, his eyes devoid of any focus.
he could feel that the many responsibilities he is now endowed with. he could feel the new blood flowing in his veins. And he could still feel duriel's presence ever so clearly. Thoughts on his companions lingered around his conscience, yet he brushed it aside due to the silent frustration within him.
"I need to be alone...", speaking to himself as he walked onward. Soon he found himself by a lakeside. In the center of the lake was a miniature island, approximately 20 feet in width and 10 feet in height. The island, although very small, was flustered with multicolored trees and a blue rock in the center.
Danyael, instead of using any slight sparks of power, chose to board a small, single ore boat. The boat was made of a form of milkwood material, lavishly decorated with multiple carvings.
As he slowly rowed the boat onward towards the miniature pocket of land amidst the lake, more thoughts continued to imbed themselves within his mind. Thoughts about the enemy. Thoughts about the Kinjite Order. Thoughts about The Empire and the Ruling houses of Valencia.
And even thoughts about his father. Aside from being Danyael's father, who really was Xion Xavier? Why was he so well known? Why was he so well respected? And why did Duriel speak of him constantly? The many thoughts that floundered around Danyael resulted in a small migraine as he neared the island.
"..I know what to do..", he said under his breath as the boat docked with the white sands of the island.
He remembered Gale, Rhiyou, and even Otaken speak of an
Alliance. He also remembered Otaken's words about Tamrissa and the Umbra being of the first members of the Alliance. Why was the alliance so important? Surely an agreement between allies is always beneficial. But why was
this alliance so damned important?
As Danyael neared the center of the island, he relaxes his entire body, letting it drop upon the wide, flat blue rock. As he rolled unto his back, he looked up at the sky and closed his eyes. One's abilities are even greater when they sleep, it is said. This would be as good a time as any to prove that theory correct.
As Danyael's body rests, his consciousness begins to search for a familiar aura. The Aura of Tamrissa Roshan of the Kingdom of the Umbra.
where are you, Tamrissa?As his spirit searched deeper and deeper, the realm broadened, giving sight of even more passageways and entrances to other consciousnesses. The vibrant colors of the spiritual spectrum were so magnificent, that danyael almost lost focus due to their beauty. The many, flowing aurora's kept each other in sway in perfect synchronization as the swept by Danyael's spirit.
where are you, Tamrissa?Soon, not too long after his brief halt, Danyael noticed a presence. A very similar presence. Strong, beautiful, and Head-strong. The aura was none other than the Lady Tamrissa.
Fortunately, she was resting. therefore, her consciousness was free to be contacted. As Daniel nears Tamrissa's spirit, approaches her from behind.
Tamrissa Roshan. I seek an audience with you. Just as he spoke this, the surrounding plane began to warp itself into a quiet maelstrom of colors. Soon, the swirling chaos retorted itself into the environment of a garden. The Garden was vast and lush. Many Acropolises stood tall atop mountains of malachite and snow.
Danyael sat atop a ruined pillar, looking down at the Lady Tamrissa.
"heh heh... Obviously the first question you would probably ask is, '
Who are you?! State your business!', am i right?
Well then. To answer that question. My name is Danyael Seiryuu Xavier: Lord of House Xavier, and seventh emperor of the Empire of Sanctuary."
he let his words sink into tamrissa for a moment. She most likely still did not recognize his aura. But he was sure that she knew it was familiar. However, before he could continue, a small swirl of wind touched across Danyael and Tamrissas faces as the currents of the water around the garden begin to change motions. A translucent mist arose from the waters in silent speed. The mist moved out from the water as it poured over the concrete structures like silken milk, surrounding Both Tamrissa and Danyael. A tall, well built man walked out from the mist, walking upon the water as if it were solid ground. His long, straight hair had a bright hue of white about it. His fair skin and maroon eyes gave his elf-like face a brilliant innocence to it. His body was clothed in black baroque clothing. His pants were straight and suited with stylish black boots. His long black and red cape covered overtop of his shoulders as the large collar opened up on both sides of his face.
Good evening.. I apologize for my timing
, the man said as he looked at Danyael.
And who might you be sir?, Danyael asked the man.
I am Lord Thanatos of the Dark Flame. Fifth Emperor of the Empire and Lord of House Zorial. It is an honor to finally meet you, lord Danyael. Son of Xion.
Taking notice of Tamrissa, Thanatos crossed his arms and approached her, one hand pinching his chin.
And you must be Lady Tamrissa Roshan of the Umbra Kingdom. An honor to meet your aquaintance milady., offering his humble behavior as a show of fellowship.
Perhaps you can inform the Umbras Queen of our dilema, Lord Thanatos?
Yes. And so I shall. You have been summoned here due to a crisis that is at hand. Several crisiss, actually. I am sure you are aware of the impending enemy that is upon us. The reason why we have summoned you is due to an offer.
Stopping his speech only for a moment, Thanatos waves his hand as a stone chair resembling a throne, manifests itself behind Tamrissa.
Please milady. Sit.
This may come as a shock to some, but I am confident that you are strong enough to withstand overwhelming news, yes? 1000 years from now there stands a grand empire. This empire is not of a single monarchy alone. It stands united due to an alliance that consists of several kingdoms.
The scenery changes to a blank white as the three remain completely unaffected. Suddenly a rush of vibrant colors begins to pulse and pull at reality, flushing away the blank white. Before tamrissas eyes, is a magnificent, immeasurable massive city, spanning for such long distances that the ends cannot be seen. The towering ziggurats of royal colors give life to this prospering megalopolis of Fantasy, Divinity, and Technology. But despite the awe inspiring appearance of the city, the most impressive feature is that the entire city is suspended in mid air, atop a multicolored, rotating crystal platform. Colossal chains and ropes of gold keep this city bound to the ground, despite its hovering height above the surface.
((ooc: note that you still cant see how large the city is, due to its size. ))
The rest of the terrain that surrounded the city was overflowing with gorgeous mountain ranges, pristine lakes and oceans, and massive floating pillars that reached high into the sky.
Thanatos gestures his hand outward, marveling the striking beauty of the city. But what was really going to surprise Tamrissa was that the flourishing megalopolis was not reall a city. It was a Palace.
Behold Milady. The Palace of the United Imperium of Deus. This land is the stronghold to what we are about to bring to fruition. The alliances only goal is to build even greater defense to the multiverse. There will always be enemies. After one is defeated, one that is even stronger will arise to bring forth even greater threats. We must unite in this new era. This new age. Things cannot always be as they used to be. It is in dark times like the ones the multiverse will face that calls for unity.
The 3D surroundings of the Palace and its environment vanish away, returning their surroundings to the same blank white. Thanatos lifted his hand and the white flushed away as they were now in a different location. The new location they were in was a realm similar to that of he previous one. The City-like palace looked almost identical to its predecessor. The surrounding valleys looked almost identical as well, yet it felt more fantastical than like that of a hybrid
((ooc: the hybrid was the realm of the alliance ))
The palace before them was none other than the Celestial Palace of Sanctuary. The monumental Celestial Palace towers over even the highest clouds of Sanctuary. Its Blue, Silver, Red, White, and Grey exterior symbolizes the elements of harmony and power of this vast Empire. The enormous palace has more of an organic look to it more than the metallic sects of it. Its windows are circular and Hexagonal, with either stained glass or clear crystal windows depicting carvings of angelic beings and mysterious deities. The interior is filled with long, flowing golden, blue, marble stairways. Its crystal floors seem to meld with the light that comes from the Palaces many windows. Its hallways are fashioned in Gold, Silver, Dark Blue, and Bronze, with details of statues and pillars filling its corridors.
