Black Magic and Bemusings... (Just Outside of Ayenee)
« on: November 20, 2007, 01:43:12 PM »
Al Marg Zagh - With every eddy and churn in the atmosphere, smoky tendrils of shadow and equilibrium of moon-fire and darkness seemingly giving unto each others properties and darkest whims; yet blending perfectly to form the mystique and sinister ribbons gyrating around this broken and battered place. Energies spinning faster on the outside yet indeed calm and tranquil within the centre, like the eye of the storm- that soft dainty hand exploring the features of metal beneath coat, enjoying that cold rapture from the palm of her hand, wrapping around the hilt in nefarious grasp yet so gentle at the same time and no effort would be made to remove her hand from that embrace although it provoked her to take a step closer, and closer again to the bringer of such pandemonium. Amongst the rubble of broken rock and debris…so close, hand and heart enraptured by this dark libertine of elucidations and scene of destruction; basking in the shredding horror befalling a world; the walls of mortal reality being stripped away piece by fleshy piece as if flaying the nightmarish world from the back of an abysmal Leviathan. Worlds crumbled, haemorrhaged, inverted, gnawing upon the tail of its own bitter end as the worlds of darkness untied in a perfect tryst like lovers beneath the black silk matricide, shift parent flesh to birth a land of darkness, plague and ashes.

Beneath the billowing veils of ravenesque and silvered strands those black emotionless eyes would peer, looking out across the land in a static effervescence, daggers reflecting and portending from those unfathomable orbs bearing nothing but the cursed revelations yet to follow, marking the world in the crux of voodoo intent and the blackest of intricate magicks- spinning those ebony webs of reaping atrocities, chaos spat from the wombs of Utopia- storm choirs gathering in a pestilential choking, hissing sound awaiting for the blackened and brooding skies to burst open like a knifed orifice and drown the sin from the ivory towers of Saturn, crashing against the elements like a thousand suns dying. The grinning, unfurling winds of hatred harmonizing with the screams of blasphemy and the howling of worlds colliding, a fury rousing the disease of biblical litanies before sending flames hurling towards the unprotected masses as they attempted to flee or run for shelter. What Gods had rained such terror?

What Gods would tear the firmament asunder to wreck havoc and torments upon the faithful swine that had done nothing but serve? When in reality, nine were unmarked by sin, the corruptive Vis generated by the energies of this master were of far darker spheres than most she had ever crossed, and whom had now created these diverse effects over the lands of Aoyn. Darkness seeping slowly into the realms beyond, bleeding the darkness like one would remove a cancerous abomination from flesh and bone; though this darkness had now struck its roots deep into the earth, corrupting the very earth, strangling the earth mother slowly, but surely- until even she lay still...the realm still as if no life remained except for the bloodcurdling screams in ascension from the cities and countryside and those whom accompanied this destroyer which sparked so much intrigue within the labyrinths of torturous mind. The people screamed to the skies, hands pleading in gesticulated motion as if that would bring down the sword of justice and protect the lands from these foul malignant beings which held no heart save for the death of whom they saw fit to point a finger upon. Cries arose of abandonment, the fleeting hope of salvation- the tattered remnant of faith slowly oozing from the cavities of realization for what God would allow such suffering?

What God or Goddess of man would allow the cremation of alive infants, writhing and contorting in defiance of the very flames which licked along the soft succulent limbs before melting them like wax; their twisted facades of torment bent into hellish expressions, flesh peeling away from bone as the fatty substance evaporated over scorching coals leaving nothing but black smoke and the stench of burning corpses; however it was perfume unto her senses. Cranium lifted, chin pushing upwards inhaling that sweet, astringent fragrance- exuberating in it as if basking in the ambiance of the summer's sun; nostrils flaring slightly as air rushed in to fill those infernal lungs, pumping the energies throughout her entire form before allowing it to leave in a wintry exhalation; frosted tendrils dancing into the tempestuous atmosphere....kissing the frosted tongues and intermingling into a sinister parody of lover’s tango- spiralling like miniature tornado's before evaporating only to welcome yet another invitation to such a haunting dance.

Death blossomed, its black hankering wings unravelling to gyrate within the very atmosphere, colliding against the elements as they cashed upon the mortal shore inwardly, rearranging not just the physical appearance of the realms but also the molecular structure of the very atmosphere creating a heavy and jagged effect, oxygen harder to inhale and fill the lungs, instead it would cause pain- like pins being pierced through lungs with each inhalation and exhalation; such essences of power released into the atmosphere would indeed provoke a sense of change in every other being within its radius. There was no place to hide within the shattered remains of what remained, leaving the tenebrous embrace of shadow, she would stand in full view- her diminutive figure reasonably tall, draped in the same hue of the darkness which now swept in like a brooding tempest eclipsing the very natural elements of the world, speaking to the unfurling winds carrying her voice to the dark and musk of crypt. “Amusing is it not?”

The word sung so profoundly through dark vermillion lips tinctured with the blood of opiate puppets; simply there because it was within her will…but this event would not inspire any desecration of another’s powerful influence- dust covered boots scuffing against the rubble as she motioned through the ruins and broken citadels. Delicate hand leaving the cold embrace of hilt only to extend outwards as elongated fingernails traced the symbols of archaic lore inscribed upon smashed remnants- lithe physique swaying with a voodoo pendulum motion as the first influence of what she could determine as a confident voice, and none that would show mercy to weakness or something considered less than a tool or pawn in which to use to full advantage; it was a voice of cruelty and passion- one that caused her attention to directly shift and compel her to seek these passionate one's who wished to bare the name of the marked.

Moving through the obsidian rock passes, through the rubble as dark-liquored eyes studied surroundings in close scrutiny, using perceptions and intuition to guide through the remains of the Church in ruins…would they meet her face to face by mere chance or would other fractions and equations come into play? Sleek leather-clad tourniquet form slid through the cracks of piled stone and wood and eventually finding herself within the centre of what could only be determined as the shattered heart of the Church that would become their arena. Form turning in each direction to locate, senses reeling outwardly, tendrils whipping against the blustered and piquant elements in the aid of her search…stepping over sharp remnants until finding a place in which to allow awareness to drift and search- arch of back resting against a pylon as dark eyes concealed themselves beneath film of eyelids- zephyr inspiring the ravaging of raven and moonlight cascades to gently billow, reaching out to find and discover…after all she was here so why not explore these energies further delectably…for a moment she would remain here waiting. A breathless murmur escaping twixt lips in heinous lustre as tongue swept to place moisture causing them to shimmer within the half mitigated light of the pylon her back rested as a whisper was flung to the elements in which would cause those words to drift in salacious dulcet tones for any to hear should they care to listen, a synchronized cacophony of sirenous timbre…coercing or casually demanding notice… "Nemesis of this forsaken world, it has been so long since a taint such as this has embraced this realm…intoxicating to say the least…but have we seen the end or is it just the beginning?"

There was nowhere else to post this outside of Ayenee... once another area is created. Simply move this thread. -Awaits for Corvax or other of significant worth-. Privy.

Al Marg Zagh - There had been a purpose in wandering through the battlements and ruinous decay of once grandiose architecture; even the archaic inscriptions whispered of his very name- there was no need for complex clandestine incantations or charnel Thanatonian mantra’s; all that was needed were merely a few drops of sanguine accolade to splash against the Coptic engravings of this very Devil’s sobriquet… the Devil of Ayenee known as Corvax. Was it not the duty of the Sorceress of Aoyn to provide her Lord with the means to become more powerful than before, to rise from the ashes victorious, triumphant in every threat to darker the lands of Ayenee.

From everything reflecting within those crypt-incensed eyes, how redundant evil had truly become almost infantile in both act and creed- they were all nothing but lambs being lead to the sacrificial abattoir, slaughtered only to bless the land with the crimson accolade of mass obliteration. Was this not the vision of a perfect world? Would it not make sense to stir those who would bring unspeakable power to the shores of mankind, regardless of misanthropy? Did he not crave to bring these insubordinates to their knees, to beg for a mercy they would never receive let alone be shown; genuflected to the death-kneel only to feel the heat of blade slicing against the tender canvas of flesh? This was their fate…

Right hand ascending, elegance animated by the sophisticated flow of gesture towards the encased scimitar fitted against her contoured hip; a single click against the silver skull metal clasp… another motion, while slender digits furled around the hilt to retrieve it. The blade singing against the lip, scalpel edges clashing against ornate mithril while the blade twisted fiendishly before her eyes. How the illumination danced along the honed edges, smiling in the tarnished Hyperion of darkness and melancholy incandescence. Again her momentum drifted to Mars, entranced saunter manipulating prowess to shine from beneath the taut and sheer matricide of leather and gossamer lace- constrictive yet flowing with tattered streams as if wraith’s lifted the veils of the eclipse…. plethoric paramounts at her feet, nipping at clad ankles affectionately as a lover, yet, pacing with the necrophiled madness. Left wrist rising… twisting to bring the inside of her arm into plain view… oh how the moonlight incensed her porcelain skin to illume- an eclipsed angel.

Instantly the blade bit against that perfumed supple flesh, opening the ravines racing beneath the snow- crimson wealth erupting, to spill over the incision in revelation of intent and purpose… a calling of blood where words were not needed nor spoken; the blood was far more powerful than the meaningless word where definition is misconstrued to suit the perceiver of intellectual recognition. Blade falling from the wound, adroit wrist flicking in gyrated fashion to return to its resting place while the bounty of red roses blooming decorated the stone, filling the crevices of the name while acrimonious eyes filled with curses and abomination narrowed. Extending and portending outwards… her will to coerce the bearer of the name to once again bring his destruction upon those who dared stand opposed against Varsinax… and with him, a new dawn of darkness would rise. Closing her eyes, summoning the potency of her own blood and heritage as the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith; the Devil side to her characteristics, genetic structure could not go ignored… he would know the purpose behind this calling, he could know everything there was to know about her… no attempts were taken to hide.

The only word to emerge twixt rubicund embouchements was a name… the timbre of it would travel throughout the lands of Ayenee, filtering through the Castle itself to tease and tantalize the ears of Varsinax; the voice of Atra wooing another Devil to the mortal coil… and he too would recognize the name ”Corrrrrrvaxxxxxx!!!” in a stoic whisper.

This should do the trick nicely m'dearest Corvax.

Feral Hungers - The rock itself would ache beneath her touch, crying out in past eons of ageless torment, begging to partake in the exquisite dance of despair so profoundly enticing, whispering in subterranean issue, scenting the perfumed reliquary of tenebrous embrace perceived. Ancient banes buried deep awakening in indecipherable longing, subtle relinquishment of devouring overtures flowing together in streaming acceleration, quickening the flesh of one residing, hidden within the folds of the shattered rock. A rumbling crescendo of archaic interactions, reminiscent of the echoes that had destroyed the simplicity of the landscape then... a heartbeat. A single thud of hearts muscle extending, sending blood rushing like the ongoing gales of destinies winds into the desiccated or desecrated flesh surrounding that now pulsating muscle.

The slow wheezing of breath across nostrils filled with web and dust, a gurgling, rasping sound then the rhythm settling as dust and web was cleared from airs entrance, the pinky finger of his left hand twitching, then tapping out the heartbeats enticing rhythm before a shuddering spasm as muscle and tendon spasmed with the ongoing enhancement of lifes return. How long had he slept, what defilement had he missed out on, what hungers remained unfulfilled, awaiting sating by whatever means necessary. Eyelids snapping open, gleams of perverted silver shafting through the darkness in which he lay engulfed, from deep within the massive chest a sombre gurgle that could barely be recognised as a chuckle, for he had beaten them, he had beaten those harlots of purity, those mindless clones whom worshiped law, whom hunted all that fell foul of integrity.

Sniffing disdainfully he sought to perceive any remnant of their sickening miasma failing to find any trace of their rotting holiness, instead discovering something on the breeze, the smell of woman, a smell of someone powerful, a scent of sweetest nectar caressing the senses using blood to summon something of nightmare. One to be wary of, yet one to seek for it seemed this female stood independent of the fawning neophytes and fought her own battles, she was no puppet, dragged along to entertain after battle, instead if anything, his senses and the shattered earth itself advised, she was the puppet master, delicately pulling the strings of those around her like a harpist drawing cacophonous music from Satan's own harp, but for her pleasure, not his.

Every heartbeat, every passing moment saw his desiccated physique strengthening, skin in mummification, transfiguring from leathery blackness to alabaster tones, withered facial features filling out in fleshed definition, hands no more then bony claws, fleshing to male strength and purpose laden appendages. A chill filling the cavern in which he had resided in comatose fascination then a final shudder and his recreation was complete. Stretching, head twisting the loud crack of his neck filling the silence and he rose from his sombulence sitting for a moment to look about. Close form fitting leathers, preserved by the integrati0on of charged gems creaking in the motion as he stood, axe of obsidian blackness within easy reach and right hand reaching to grasp the hilt and raise the artifact, feeling complete once more. Stains of blood wound about the head of his weapon, having soaked into the material from which his cleaving weapon was made.

Standing, flowing locks of silver hair hanging long to his hips, sword raised and slid into sheath strapped across his back, six foot of solid muscle and bone in motion for the first time in millenia. A final withering glance about his former haven then striding forth, through empty caverns, upwards ever upwards towards the surface. Whether the summoning invoked was for another or not, the scent of power, of blood, of raw unbridled woman drew him onwards, upwards until finally he broke free from the earths embrace to enter back into the world. Nostrils flaring as lungs drew deep on the uncloistered air, lips curling into a nefarious smirk as he looked about, surveying all that stood before him until he paused studying ruins before him where her presence sang most powerfully.

Walking in the direction, to stop, to wait for he was not one to enter anothers calling, excepting those thrice accursed dogs whom claimed holiness and then he would enter and kill to his hearts decree, instead lips would part and a voice filled with the echoes of ancient earthquakes would echo forth, not loudly but perceivable to one bearing true power "Your call has reached further then perhaps you intended, when you are done, perhaps... we could speak of blood and matters agonising for I hunger and I sense within your self such hungering appetites for pain, torment and chaos seeking fulfillment. Shall we seek and dine upon the blood of innocence lost."

"Your call has reached further then perhaps you intended, when you are done, perhaps... we could speak of blood and matters agonising for I hunger and I sense within your self such hungering appetites for pain, torment and chaos seeking fulfillment. Shall we seek and dine upon the blood of innocence lost."


The voice could have been flung upon a whisper as she would have caught wisp of it, weaved it about the psychic pall, artistically like a spider entrapping the fly…traced and laced to the lair. Despite attentions focused on that of summoning the Devil of Ayenee, Corvax- her concentration didn’t acquire induced states of trance or magickal heightened elations of dimensional manipulations… or coerce ancient and Methuselah influences to break hold of purpose, only to direct  and sway it towards another signet of worth. It was always about power, the eternal addiction and intoxicating passions to imbibe whilst tainting herself with the mortal coil. Yet her she found herself once again, achromatic eyes staring out the panorama of Ayenee, half with desire and the other with destruction. Both collided against the other with the same euphoric hankerings- both sensations conflagrating from within as lungs expanded only to breathe feigned air… for breathe was one of the many privileges of man she did not need. Yet wouldn’t it be fun to pose as one, only to get underneath their skin and flay them from the internal to the external?

Slender physique turned askance slightly, chin ascending in a haughty and grandiose fashion, lifting to greet the oncoming indigo of the gloaming against flawless albescent complexion, illuming it softly in the ethereal kiss of wilting dusk. Those words inspired many a reaction from sinister delight to unquenched lust for the suggestions spoken twixt his own blackened lips… deliciously oozing with venom, death and emancipation. All the things her ebony heart craved, had even sung for only to find nothing but the emptiness of void for her passion- until now, perhaps? In retort her own voice was merely uttered twixt asechanza stained apertures of ruby ichors and diablerie. Husky salacious timbre wafting to tease the proverbial senses of any whom were worthy enough to hear, those permitted by her will.. for now it would just be he. Dialogue blocked to wandering ears and eyes in the dreamscape of divinatory reverie… dulcet, morose with black magick, demonically charnel… as if to lure the dead into her coquettish embrace.

Crimson petals pursing, then parting to vibrate the vernacular response from the back of ivory tiers and the upper plate of her mouth- forcing them outwards like a pestilential hiss- tangling with the decaying breezes to this strangers ears. ”Ah such decadent words to arouse the attentions of one such as me…what a delectable banquet you bring to thine table; of blood, and appetites that rumble with obliteration. Eradication for the weak, a sibilant death-kneel to those whom have wronged you. Tell me dark lover… is it revenge you seek or just outright murder for all who dare attempt to stand and oppose you?” Grandeur silently cursing the gyrating firmament above, suddenly tilting to the direction of where she had pinpointed the location of this lone traveler of darkness; perhaps even the Dark Prince himself, his energies were cloaked in the harangue of hecatomb and antipathy. Conceivably too, he could be one that wasn’t to be trusted? Did it really matter? Of course not, for all creatures wrapped in darkness were deceitful… beauty was after all cruel and why waste such pleasures on the loyal when the stimulation of the first acquaintance could go either way… death or desire, it didn’t matter to her… it was the art of the game that mattered: thrill for the mental and physical challenge.

His desire was to converse with her? Then so he shall, an invitation extended… ”You wish to tarnish your soul with my pernicious presence? Then why not grace me with your epitome and speak of the things that wrought interest in the frozen wasteland of emotion; for it seems my call did extend past intended barriers. Hence now a newfound interest and question comes to mind… what makes you so special? Come now… things never happen by chance for we weave and construct our own fate; so… this brings the intrigue and I am sure should our company be thwarted by Devils- we shall feel right at home. Bless me with your presence stranger and permit my eyes to see what my mind already does.”

Corvax - Eyes tracing over the etched increment of the walls surrounding his own castle, the rival and sister to the long lost Emperor of Ayenee's, hand slipping upward to let fingers trace over the ebony covered threads. it would be all too soon that a voice he had not heard before slipping into the consciousness of LaMagra's, the summoning? a sacrifice? it had been decades since he had seen either of the two yet... he almost greeted this one with open arms.

a small step was taken to the right as it had begun, his flesh deteriorating over itself, melting until the elixir that made up his slaves power, the crimson tides began to flow even faster as it seemed to scatter to the left, the separation? not a chance, there would never be a force in this existence nor any existence that could separate the two now. eyes glancing into the unknown, the forsaken abyss of a nights sky as the weapons on his back began their decent into the abyss, the double reverse blade and chaos sword made the transition smoothly, the real pain would be when the gauntlets of Anya began their way that would cause fuss.

”Corrrrrrvaxxxxxx!!!”

had been bellowed through his mind as her very existence was becoming known to him, her origins- future- it was all within his mind now, her parents, the late Lilith... an amusing one there, he always had his fun when they were around one another... Lucifel? so this was one of his spawn? the power that Corvax was offered a Milena ago had come back to offer itself to him once more? a pact of energy between the two had never been cashed in, the alliance between them still fresh on the table but would it ever get dusted off? did he really need Lucifel's help? or was his old friends reach too short of helping him now? all unknown to those that never knew nor had a chance to know of the pact between Devils.

the onyx mist had retreated from his feet as they took vanished, the travel to the exact location where she had spilled her own toxic blood had been within seconds, a marker designating each place they two Gods had traveled would always allow them a instantaneous transmission back in case of dire need... or summoning. All she would hear next from the outside spectrum would be the echoing thud that would signify his return to these realms. the splatter of crimson liquid began to seek out the nearest crack to seep through, milliseconds passed as every ounce dripped onto the ground within his Alter, conforming to one solid, devastating entity, the form taken before them both now as his eyes would glace from left to right, the onyx mist took its appearance around his feet.

head tilting to the right as crimson swayed eyes glanced to the exit point, the outside world... was it really ready for him to return so soon? left hand hovering over the spilled elixir, its travel would be swift, the entrance into his own system to make sure that this was the blood spilt to bring him to such mortal coil... hand caving in on the fluid as its very genetic structure molded into the Devil's, lips parting slowly only to be divided by the tongue kept within such confines. it was the correct blood, the potent stain of Lilith, of Lucifel, but there had been another among the two, one not so great, one that had even a sliver of the two Tainted ones powers... a nod would take place as those very eyes traveled to the one that summoned him, the acknowledgement of the other had yet to take place, that being was of no use to the Devil... not when it wasn't his blood spilt.

"The daughter of Lost Friends, Why take your own blood to summon Me? What help does the Daughter of those two need?"

"The daughter of Lost Friends, Why take your own blood to summon Me? What help does the Daughter of those two need?"


For a moment whilst the unfurling winds whipped around her perfectly poised form, waiting for yet another to make its presence known; picturesque features intensely glancing across the ruined landscapes, content at the devastation and crackled effigy of once a great empire… now nothing but dust and the carrion crows scavenging over what little carcasses remained. It was only when she heard his voice that her façade slowly turned to meet with his with curious expression, not in regards to his presence but that of the strangers who had only moments ago spoken from the talons of tempest. Turning her back, feet elegantly pivoting to bring her standing in the close quarters of the Great Devil himself; Corvax. Squaring her shoulders back to elevate her height, it wasn’t at all that she required help but rather to make a request. What couldn’t be denied was the idealism that Ayenee without its heroes and bleeding hearts was indeed a better place, to ensure it remained this way was another factor- along with preservation for the darkness.

Atra wasted little time, chin ascending in a strict and shrewd business fashion without double-talking and wasting both their time with small talk that wouldn’t go anywhere, just aggravate the responding participant. ”Not help…a request. It is my knowledge that you once led the Outlaws, persevered the path against the interference of those who dare intervene our will. From what I see, the heroes are all but culled… cut from this world like a cancer and I much would like to see it remain this way. Why not kill the beast while it is wounded? Why not drive the cattle brand deeper and harder into the flesh of mortals while the striking is good- from what I see and what I propose is that you and I can greatly benefit from this deal… you get the souls, while I get to enjoy the death-rattle and the blood spilled for a name long dead in this world.” Taking a moment to contemplate words, the conviction and end to this little torrid tale of cunning sagacity.

”If we become more active, it is going to bring the holy back to these lands… we can cut them down before they even know what has hit them- if we prepare…now. We may not get another opportunistic chance as this. We bring the Outlaws back… and we start the campaign you and Varsinax proposed all those centuries ago, and establish your power back in this land. You may ask what is in it for me. The answer is simple… I want nothing of the perks of the slaughter only to be the hand that yields the evisceration… death is all I ask for and if I can take down a few of the fools in the process all the better. I ask for nothing of alliance, for it is one thing I do not need for I stand alone. However, my goal is the same as yours… so why not gather the resources for a common cause? I want to finish what both my father and mother failed to achieve.” Atra shrugged lightly, atramentous orbs glancing over the back of her shoulder while chin rested against collarbone…staring back into the gathering shadows as if to pluck a secret from the hand of dark angels. Now… it was all in the hands of Corvax… for him to do with as he wished.

Feral Hungers- The sharp piquancy of leathers aroma tantilising his nostrils, his own leathers, the scent a comfort of familiarity exuding times when he had been a prince amongst men. His choice of clothing a genuflection to his past experience, but within the wandering breeze, the miasma of her presence blending circumspectly amidst his own offering. An ingenuity of charismatic sensuality that raised the delicate hair on the back of his neck in predatory anticipation of sanguine orgasms of shrieking torment. Betrayed by his own kind, bequeathed to the holy by one of his own blood for the mandatory thirty pieces of silver, the only joy, the knowledge that the betrayer had been betrayed by the cowled ones, afraid to show their faces as they took sadistic pleasure in desecrating the flesh of perverted desire, then flaming the remnants to oblivion's jaded welcome. How he had laughed when the betrayers fate was made known, a momentary respite amidst the travails of his own time spent pursued relentlessly by those of little mind and lesser faith. How he hated those twisted perversions of men, so fraught in sodden belief to deny their lusts and passions, believing they were serving a loving god, whom in reality no longer cared.

Closing his eyes for a moment, lids falling in slow deliberate fashion, lashes, long and dense almost feminine in stricture meeting as beneath the hooded veil an alteration bequeathing a more 'normal' appearance transpired. Silver luminescence retreating into richly veiled emeralds, startling in their purity, dramatic in intensity, the colour  he was born with and perhaps in part what had attracted the fate that had befallen him. Yet he was not one to bemoan fates intrigues, instead rising to her challenge and turning a situation that most would find abhorrent into something other, revelling in the egocentricities of the web woven to encompass his designs . After all the longer a spider may spend weaving their web, the better it shall last and the more insects it would trap.

She had heard, the vibrancies scathing the air to reach his ears, filling him with an ecstasy borne of murderous defilement, the tones rife with passions devouring credences as she invited him closer. The creaking of leather as he strode forwards, the rustle of his scabbard stroking his back as he pondered response in motion. Knowing full well that every word uttered would be heard he began his answer as the rippling muscle of thigh carried him forward over uneven rubbles. Adaghar's tones vibrating forth in sonorous gravelled arbitration... "Revenge... no I think not, for revenge is for the weak, a fitting soother for those incapable of direct action to ponder as they cry in their silken pillows and plot an imagined enemies downfall, outright murder..." he paused as a smirk of elucidation creased the apertures that had tasted the living ichor and desired more. "No not truly, for while murder is a pleasure not to be denied, the fear it inspires is an opiate to feed the insatiable hunger and if I kill them all, then who shall remain, craven in their cowardice, crying out to their impotent god to save them. That is what I seek Lady... That the screams of dismay reach the very heavens, the shrieks of endless torment and anguish endlessly appeal the might of an uncaring being until they realise that no miracle will save them, no hand will give them mercy by smiting me down and then... only then shall my appeasement be complete. I seek this for one reason alone... Because I can."

Rippling flows revealed beneath the tautness of leathered harness, another's presence invoked and arriving, a common cause mentioned and terms such as evisceration dancing in rapturous temptation upon his psyche. Who was this woman and where had she been in his hey day, when all the woman he knew squirmed at a child's shrieks and fainted dead away on discovering that the plate set before them that had been enjoyed so voraciously had been carved from the flesh of a rival. Rounding a corner he stopped for there she stood before him, a diminutive woman, fleshed in exquisite visions, small yet had he not witnessed a spider so tiny with a single drop of its venom destroy the life of an elephant. Adaghar would not allow himself to be lulled into false bravado simply by her size, and the male appearing from mist, his eyes demonic and bring rich humour to Adaghar, for at least now he was certain that the whores of god had nothing to do with this gathering. Stepping forward, right hand rising to touch lips, then brow then heart in the ancient gesture of peaceable respect given to an honoured enemy or a worthy friend symbolising that no falsehood would be uttered, no treachery would be thought and no hidden agendas lay within his heart... at least for this meeting.


[align=center]* * * * *[/align]

Corvax - eyes glancing to them both now acknowledging the man standing behind the Dark Sorceress as she stood so proudly, conviction in her words would fall upon ancient ears, the pondering of appeasing her request would take mere seconds as his head tilted backwards, eyes looking directly upward as if piercing through the roof of his chamber, tainted lips parting slowly as venomous tongue peeked outward to wet stained lips before slipping back in, fingers remaining outstretched as did his arms, comfortably at his side as it was sent out.

"Rrrrrriiiiiisssssssseeeeeeeeee!!!!!" the demonic casting to every ear that once proudly held the name of an Outlaw, the mist slowly fading to perhaps an inch above the ground as more words would follow the cataclysmic summoning. "Blood and fire used to fill the night.... Burnt and drowned by our very lives.... Rise, again we will rise!!!" head slowly turning back down in the direction of the Dark one for a moment, he would not respond to the mans gesture, if he wished an enemy then so be it, if he wished an ally, then his only task to accomplish such a  feat would be to slaughter in the name of Carnage.

left hand slowly rising up to scratch at the base of his chin before letting his feet carry him in her direction, she was not his target, nor was he... his target had been outside his chamber, to the outside world that would soon be his again. eyes glancing directly ahead as onyx hair fell behind shoulders, fingers moving slightly as he passes her, was she serious in this matter? did she really know what she was getting herself into? bringing him back to This realm? cast out by his peers, the destruction caused in his wake of the past would be nothing compaired to what he was going to bring forth to this new land... this new existence. "Sorceress, since you have brought me to this forsaken place, used your own blood, sacrificed any barrier you could have possibly possessed to stop my onslaught...then stand by my side in this, this resurrection of Immortals, It is only right that I bring my little brother's Daughter along for the ride."

eyes remaining on the entrance as he soon passed her, his way was made to this other now... the time to recognise him was at hand. he was not intimidated by the Devil's appearance, by the excretion of unholy power, perhaps this man could be of some use to them both. "Until I know who or what you are, you shall be known to me by nothing other than Ghost, your existence means nothing to my cause at this point, When you finally matter to me, or to the behind me, then I'll ask for your name, until then, Care to have some fun? get your hands a little dirty within tainted blood of this land?"

Just before he exited the structure, his left hand had come up to the frame of the door as his head turned to the right... crimson eyes glowing back at the two for one last sentence before he left, a sentence that would be come to known by those "heroes" of this land, by those that would stand against these two... possibly three. "My vengeance will be swift and terrible... Many will die... We are the distance between two points... Forgotten, a Void."

Darkness Incarnate - He was elsewhere, traveling somewhere through Aoyn, though since their last meeting, and even before it, he had always done what he could to keep tabs on Atra’Lamia. At times it was as if, even with his endless sight and keen perceptions, that Atra simply was nowhere to be found. Such was the case before she made her appearance in these lands, in the realm of Aoyn, and issued forth her call to those with the same goals and desires as she, to those who would take care and listen. Cyan was not a fool, he did not assume that she didn’t know when he was watching her and when he wasn’t, after all, why else would there be times when he couldn‘t detect her? Since their last meeting, which had ended with her attacking him after he made the mistake of taking hold of her ass, he has been trying to keep an unfaltering eye on the newest object of his desire. However, upon hearing her call for a “nemesis of this forsaken world,” he can’t help but be intrigued further by the woman who already intrigues him so, and it does not take much effort for him to see her, only a thought.

Her essence is one he is very familiar with, one he would never forget, and since such is the case, it is very easy for him to locate her by her shadow, which is as known to him as his own, for when he has watched her through the darkness, it is almost as if he could reach out and caress her. And so, with his attention locked once more on her form, and with her issuing a call for someone to come forth, Cyan considers making his entrance, just when he perceives the sound of another’s voice, one answering her call. He listens to the words that are spoken, and smiles when the being states that Atra’s message has perhaps reached further then she intended, as such is likely the case with her message reaching Cyan’s listening ears and mind. Thus he smiles, and thus he decides to wait for this other, new voice to show it’s physical form. He assumes for a moment that this new being might be the Corvax she spoke so stoically to, but upon hearing the entirety of what the unknown individual has to say, he comes to doubt that, and so his curiosity is peaked as he wonders who it is Atra is trying to summon. Cyan doesn’t have to wait long for his questions to be answered, as the one he guesses is Corvax seems to answer, and his answer merely brings more questions to Cyan’s mind, such as how these two know each other, and at the mention of Atra’s parents, Cyan can’t help but wonder who they were, as well.  

It is then that Atra begins to reply to the one who questioned her, and Cyan listens to her words with great interest, since he has yet to know her reasons for calling out in such a far reaching fashion.  Upon her speaking, Cyan hears of a group she calls the Outlaws, which were apparently led by the one she is summoning. He continues to listen, his interest in what Atra is proposing to Corvax and seemingly this other unknown appeal greatly to Cyan’s own palette, and it is then that he decides to finish what he is doing as he draws his attention from Atra and her plots which he plans to join shortly, back to the here and now, with the body of the father hanging limply by his throat in the grasp of Cyan’s left hand. The mans right leg and right arm have both already been cut off because the human thought he could attack Cyan after he killed his wife. It was when Cyan moved to kill the daughter that the man attacked with the only thing he could find, a pathetic dinner knife, no use against Cyan’s short sword.

With a simple parry, he had knocked the mans weak attack off course, and with another twist of his wrist and subsequent tightening of his triceps he brought his blade around and down, cutting easily through the flesh and bone as he removed the mans hand just behind his wrist. After that, raising his right arm Cyan stepped forward with his right foot and placed it on top of his victims own right foot, keeping his leg in place as he brought his blade back down to once more taste the blood and flesh of the defenseless mortal, cutting clean through his thigh with the same ease as his arm. After that, once the man was crying out in torment on the floor, Cyan stepped forward over his body and lifted him up by his throat, which is where he still stands, now that he has finished cherishing his moment of slaughter that he knows will be remembered by this little girl forever. She will never forget because she is the unfortunate one who will be left alive and all alone to fend for herself once her father is dead, since the village around them was devoid of life by Cyan’s hand before he arrived at their door, covered in blood.

But her father isn’t dead, not yet, and with that thought Cyan takes his short sword and stabs the man in the gut, impaling him to the hilt. He then releases his hold on the blade handle, and with his free hand he takes hold of the mans chin and jaw, forcing his thumb into the fathers mouth as he twists on his jaw and yanks back with inhuman strength, tearing the ligaments and tendons, flesh and muscle, and in essence most of his face from his head. Yes, this is a day she will never forget… Cyan thinks to himself, smiling as he drops the body of her soon to be dead father to the flor as Cyan himself fades from sight, seeming to sink into the darkness beneath his feet and into the floor. Thus he has re-entered the plane of darkness, and with a thought and a small amount of focus, he is again watching Atra and the unknown being, and the one who he assumes is Corvax as he is exiting the structure. Apparently Cyan had missed whatever had taken place in the chamber, because he was cherishing the lives he had destroyed, and the girl whose mind he had surely corrupted with his unholy actions. Nevertheless, with another thought, Cyan begins to take shape to Atra and the unknown beings left, seeming to form from thin air as he walks out of the darkness in the corner, covered in blood and the stench of death, fear and sorrow. It was then that he realized he had forgot to drop the fathers jaw, which he had for some reason simply held onto while he focused again on Atra and making his way to her. He tosses it to the ground before him, not disgusted, but simply finished with the worthless man, and so he had no need of holding his body parts. The deed was done, and the satisfaction of the kill was reaped already. Cyan brings his thoughts back to the two before him, and from under the cloak of his long black hair he smiles, wondering what Atra will think of his arrival. “Certainly….You must have known it wouldn’t be long before I arrived…Calling out as you did…” is all that he says to his…enemy? Friend? Whatever, it was up to her, but Cyan’s desire for her was without question.

Al Marg Zagh
- What a gathering of vagabond misfits already gathered upon the knoll of ruin and blasphemy; ads if it had already been foretold in the dimming stars that began to reveal themselves as the fading light died, bleeding out with shades of deep, brooding Tyrian purple and the amalgamation of Prussian blue, forging into the richness of indigo. The darkness approached, and in more unspeakable ways than just an elemental influence over the unsuspecting world of Ayenee where men and ant toiled away- like slaves to the rhythm of the Pied Piper; but then again, each were unto this world with their own plague just like Nergal digging away at the immune system, ready to inject his potent venoms. Ignorance was after all bliss, and the creatures and arsines of Ayenee proved this theory ever so eloquently. Best leave stupidity to wallow in its own mud hole along with the swine of nations, or the snake to engorge on its own better end- this was the defecation of the mortal horde; already dead… just unfortunately none of them knew it just yet.

With the approach of the stranger and Corvax, a sense of nostalgia returned; fluttering through the phantasmorphic spectral wreathes of coalescing, like moths to a beacon beguiled with bright illumination, only to lure them to their deaths like nebulous sirens with their silent bitter songs. The stranger speaking in turn, of how revenge wasn’t what his black heart sought- instead screams that would reach the ears of angels… fill the very halls of heaven with the cacophony of anguish, suffering and torturous pain. Heralding the fall of mankind despite all their futile attempts to safe keep the cursed; bring down the golden banners of celestial armies only to meet their doom within the maws of ravenous hordes- history was always doomed to repeat itself… and once again the soil would be drenched in the obliteration of angels or those broken, bathing their wings in the blood of a million slaughtered martyr’s. Evil would always triumph for without it, goodness would cease to exist and the last ray of hope… extinguished.

Pandora’s box, had already been opened despite the stories and placebo of false myth- evil had escaped into the world locking away all possibilities of hope; and now that box was held in the trenchant grasp of an even colder savior… though savior wasn’t quite the correct term used in regards to a nemesis. She simply nodded at the stranger’s words, unsure if he was trying to convince her or himself of his convictions; it all meant the same to her, death on swift wings… it didn’t matter whose wings brought the blackened plagues over the smothered landscapes of a world already damned to rot from the inside out, like an apple. His last words brought an inquisitive glint within the tourmaline animadversion of her eyes, giving no indication of the secrets branded on the emptiness of void, deep upon the interior, only granting him the accolade of him seeing himself for what he truly was… the mirrors of an oracle revealing all denied or rejected. Frozen words retorted, dripping with venom and disharmony, yet, at the same time eerily majestic.

”You do this because you can? A demurred revelation of the ego for all to behold, your conviction justified simply because of will and whatever code of honor you hold upon yourself. But tell me well versed one… perhaps I should end all existences, reach and grab the sun and moon, crush them in both hands before devouring every world with my voracious appetites… just because I can? Question is… where would this leave you?” A dark smirk crossed alizarine lips, moist with anticipation… shadows eclipsing her features as if the crone Goddess herself kissed the brow of her flagitious daughter. ”I know where it would leave you… where your words mean little and your actions even less.” Head declining in a mocking gesture of feigned obeisance as Corvax gestured with a most darkened gaze over the stranger before addressing her in the fashion thus rewarded. It was all too amusing to her senses, but she certainly knew what she was ‘getting’ herself into; it was no more dangerous and perilous than every other nightmare she had wrought into fruition- Ankhnesmira had no concern he had been banished by his peers for never again would they accomplish she a feat… all their chains had been broken, not just this once, twice or thrice… but forever.

Words so destructive and intractable, raspy while revealing the essence of her chthonian lineage for all to relish, devoid of breath or compassion for anything of this world- they would all suffer a hundred death’s and never would a single ruby tear be shed. ”I stand not in your path of onslaught instead pave for the way in Goetic banners of blood and vituperation! If I don’t plan to stop you… there is no one on this world capable of doing so; they have not the power or resources of this world to attempt to dishevel me from given trinkets… so tell me Old Devil of Ayenee, how does it feel to be back?” Corvax’s last statement brought a philippic sneer over apertures, one of evil contentment and the other eagerness to announce the return of the Forgotten; how would they celebrate such an event? It was the exhilaration that inspired the hoarse purr to evolve from the back of esophagus, an asphyxiated guttural yet salacious intonation.

”Oh I am counting on far more than just many… only shall my heart leap with life when all I see is an ocean of corpses that stretches for miles over ‘HIS’ green earth; paint for all a scene of biblical red… where the stench of their children tantalizes nostrils to aspire ultimate bereavement, knowing that salvation has been forsaken and the only real thing tangible is that soon they will suffer the same fate. There is nowhere to hide, and nowhere to run.” Features illuming, Lemurian in the melancholy moonlight… and it seemed another would congregate, flock to this union of plotting Devils and Fiends; Cyan. His words drifting to tease the ashen complexion of visage, to tickle over the symmetrical arches of pyrite embouchements as they curved into a sarcastic anamorphosis leer, eloquently parting slowly to speak, making sure all attention would be focused on the blossoming buds of rose-red petals. ”Actually, I thought you would have learned from the last lesson of our meeting? I guess, I was incorrect in the assumption… shall we dance again or is this more of a business proposition than a… sexual one?” Acuminous scintillation weaved hexes and curses within the Malocchio of baneful dark eyes as they stared menacingly at Cyan, then sweeping across nonchalantly over the others, making sure eye contact was maintained at all times and never underestimating any whom were present, should it turn into a conference less amicable… things would surely become very interesting. A delicious nest of vipers ready to strike… at any given moment and certainly, she was no exception.

Feral Hungers-Thrice accursed progeny of intractable destructions flowing through the flawed charismatics of arterial conjunction, injunctions of assaulted hopes fulfilling his breathing, indeed curious as to why he had awoken at this refined juncture of proposed sacrilege.  Studying the woman before him with both mind and sight, fully comprehending that what he saw was only as she allowed, nothing more and nothing less. The arrogance of her associate amusing... in its forthrightness for the assumptions invoked. Perhaps Adaghar was this demonically inspired creatures equal, perhaps not, but to simply assume him beneath notice displayed a singular lack of strategic thought, after all, when a stranger appears in times of potence, shouldn't one at least wonder why... or what exactly they are? False pride played no part in Adaghar's existence, to many times had he seen others believe someone less then worthy of notice, too many times had he laughed when the insect had arisen to bite with catastrophic revelation. Thus if Adaghar was merely an insect, so be it for now, it would allow him observance without constraint and freedoms not given to one considered more... worthy. "A little fun... if that is what you choose to call it, of course but only if carnage, doom and the suffering of all innocence is involved," he would reply in sharp unequivocal retort.

Chest rising and falling, a shudder passing through his frame as from deep within a gurgling tumult of obscene mirth arose in diaphamorous chuckles to the woman's response, fingers stretching and knuckles cracking with each motion. No doubt existing in his mind that she could make such foretelling a new reality of atrophied existence. Emeralds catching the glisten of mirroring from her eyes and head turning slightly to allow the loud crunch of bone grating against bone while lips pursed in contemplative digestion. "You would crush the sun and moon and devour all the worlds just for little old me..." The subterranean grinding of his voice oozing, like the last drops of blood from an eviscerated corpse. "I am flattered indeed at your offer, such grace to a stranger is touching... and where would it leave me..." he pondered momentarily a grin laced with suggestions of impending revolution gracing the rugged lines of the powerful jawline. "Why you would have set me free from the restraints of accursed bindings, releasing the many that exist within this frail shell to exact their own specific brand of simultaneous evolutions, such... archaic pleasure, to return to the emptiness from which they emerged." His voice no longer a solitary artifact, instead filled with tonal reverberation hinting their was more within then met the eye.

With every moment, the final frailties of resurgence alleviating as from the earth beneath his strengths returned to fill the smooth flesh of his form. Sadistic urges rising along with the hungers and passions, to pluck the eyes from newborns and serve them daintily skewered with virgins blood as a dipping sauce, to crucify priests and rape holy women with their own sacred artifacts while arousing the passions of their young acolytes into grotesque perversions. A sigh of deep appreciation to such delights, then nodding in anticipatory sequestrations to how she described the disruption of 'His' green earth. A thrill of onrushing destiny existed that he had awoken at the right time in the deep malefic recesses of Adaghar's mind to emerge from his silent doom to the presence of this deadly inspiration of violent female predator before him.

Subtle manipulations in the shadowed essences of corrupted umbriac effulgence, the emergence of anothers presence off to his left, and nostrils flaring to drink deeply of the cloaking swills of dark eruptions, feeding the inner torments, for all chaotic rendition offered substance in some cyclonic fashion. Mind closing to all but the ladies perception, shuttering in such way that the eyes would perceive, but his essence would seem empty except for the pallid entropy of lusting appetites to these other males. An offering of trust to her? Unlikely... more an integration suggestive of dark alliances with one truly competent in annihilation. The only thing he would retain in hiding from her perusal was what exactly he was... that for now was for him and him alone to savor like the dark and smoke filled wines of his youth. "Ahhhh... I forget my manners milady of dark unholiness... I am called Adaghar... a name times annals have likely forgotten, buried in sacramentous parlaying by those deserving to meet the 'god' they claim to adore." With this, Adaghar inclined his head in retrospective elegance as tongue wandered across his lips in retribution of the tastes within the essences abounding.

A smile spread across his emotionless face as he listened to Atra’s retort, speaking of lessons she assumed he had learned before. He opens his mouth to speak as he looks them both over for but a moment, “Come now, my dear Atra. The only lesson I learned on that night is this; The next time we are going to partake in pleasures of the flesh, I’ll let you make the first move. Aside from that, no lessons were learned..” he says, falling silent as he thinks for a moment and looks around the room. “As for why I am here before you now, I would think you know that. After all, you called out to me, not vice versa.” he adds, looking over to Adaghar for a moment before opening his mouth to speak once more. “I  would ask why you summoned me, but I daresay it isn’t your intention to just summon one individual, is it? You’re planning something, catastrophic…Aren’t you? Something glorious…If so, then you know where things stand between you and I. Business comes before all, and destruction and death is always good business…” is what he says matter-of-factly.

He then takes a step forward and moves closer to Atra, coming to a stop once he moves into the light. Cyan is dressed differently now then he was on their last encounter, this time he is wearing a black cloak, with his body completely hidden from view save for his head, which isn‘t covered at all. At his waist to the left there is a sheathed sword, thirty-six inches in length and otherwise nondescript, aside from being the only visible weapon he carries. Again, his gaze wanders over the forms of both Atra and this other before him, and though he doesn’t turn his head or even his eyes, he looks with his mind to the doorway that Corvax had exited through, and with another thought he can see the Devil standing outside. Just then, his mind returns to seeing what his eyes do, and he smiles yet again as he can’t help but admire the physical form of his future Queen before him.

One day, she will be ripe for the picking, but for now she is not what he seeks; he seeks death and destruction, terror and misery, fear and loathing, suffering the likes of which has not been seen in ages. Because this his goal, his desire, then his ulterior desires and goals are thrown temporarily to the wayside, carried like baggage in the back of his mind until the time is right, until Atra is to be his. He listens to what the man who calls himself Adaghar says, and takes his name down in his memory; according to Adaghar and his desires and goals, it would seem he might be of some use in the future, though any purpose or uses he may serve have all yet to be seen, though such a thing is always only a matter of time before it rises to the surface. Of the three beings that preceded his own arrival, Corvax was the only one among them that Cyan had yet to hear speak, or get a closer view of to make his own judgments of the devil. “So what’s on the agenda, Atra’lamia?” he asks, saying her name with a little extra emphasis to remind her she is his, she only believes otherwise.

Taking a small breath as his hand fell from the doorway, the Blue Devil was about to exit the confines of HIS mausoleum until this shadow user began to intrude within his own personal business, did the little kid think he would be granted a long enough audience by the two to even make its mark on this plane? foolish children knew nothing of what was to come, they pranced around with their insulting parlor tricks, hopping around within HIS Shadows while hoping that he didn't notice the depth of their insurrection.

lips parting slowly before the next useless breath was taken by the UnHoly Devil. "Do not kid yourself Cyan, do not think you are safe while you exist within my platform. You have intruded your ears upon a summoning that skimmed over your little existence, praying that she was in some ungodly chance of a miracle to have sent it to you, but no... you bring yourself before us as if you are owed some sort of recognition for what? for doing what deed? Do you think you've made a milestone with your name in this platforms verse? don't kid yourself whelp, either prove your worth within the blood of her enemies or back the fuck out of my sight before you become just another statistic in my path." the sharp tongue of the Devil never dulled, rusted or became of a bore to him, he never liked to beat around the bush so the direct approach would always be the best.

IF by some chance Cyan had the balls to actually carve his name within Corvax's blood, try to even scratch the Devil, his very flesh would be consumed by the Blade, his soul stripped from its vessel only to become the new bitch of the lesser demons. eyes moving a little more to glance over to the summoner, was she really so saught after? was her father that was lenient with her to allow such happenings? or did she truly unlock her father's power? a new recognition within her would be sought after, a new light shined beneath her as the crimson eyes began to fade out... slowly morphing to the black and silver frames that pierced so many souls... the true nature of this Summoner was coming clear, why she was the only one in years to be able to summon him properly, to not fear him upon sight.

the mist had began to spread outward a little as its onyx phase shrouded around itself only to become more of a crystalline blue, the sharp pain within the mist would cause its to strike directly downward, vanishing from their sight... not even Corvax had the ability to see just where his mist was going... Good thing he Knew where it was going. consuming the darkness like a fat kid consuming a cupcake, the mist began to take control of the shadows, should one of these beings try to stop the undetectable... Corvax would have their throat by the tips of his fingers... No one would use his Shadows without asking just permission again... such rights came by birth as one of the only two beings Born of Light and Shadow, fused with power from both, command over both within just right.

"You speak to my General as if shes yours? you think a lower level caster can command such a Devil? or was my generalization of you wrong? Cyan: -of Darkness-" the name was never spoken through context, the only instance that Corvax would ever know Cyan's name was when he had in fact... consumed Cyan's mind to find out what he is, everything about the self-proclaimed God of Darkness, glorious title... if one manages to obtain it through right cause and ad-junction... this fool however? gave it to himself... tried to pass the rumor on that he was a God, had some special power over Corvax's shadows...foolish.

Before Cyan even had the slightest chance to reply to the Devil, words were spoken to him as well as his General. "Stew on what I've said, the stains of your false pretences, your false hope of EVER owning the General... as for her" eyes move directly to her, if she chose to look at him at all during this little spat, his eyes would be directly positioned to where hers would, to allow her to see the true nature of this Devil, to give her and only her the ability to look into just what Corvax is, the knowledge of his past would be null and void to the other two, the portal into this window was for one, for the only one he cared to have look. the tainted expressions within Corvax's own eyes would resemble someone very familiar to her, a Devil that only she could call a Father, the soul of Lucifel himself was within Corvax, the power and energy was his to command.

"You see, Daughter of a Devil, You are the only one to see my nature, to see who's soul I possess, I am not like the other Devil's you have known, I am not a Devil at all....what I am? is something far more dangerous than anything your Ruler... Varsinax or your Father were granted. Upon this... you didn't think me telling you to join my side was a request, did you? True... you do have the power to alter my path of destruction but the path it would take after would not be in your best seat, so Become my new General of War... claim this verse Not in Varsy's name, but in the name of our new Outlaws."

Words spoken, Corvax's mausoleum sealed from any exit other than of light, phasing or the original exit, the shadows have been cut completely of their connection to the void that allowed those to travel between posts, even Corvax had to take an alternate path if he wished to leave.

[align=justify:2dcd170759]”Adaghar” The name rang like the tolling of death bells within the dark recesses of her mind, how the name danced from the apex of her tongue in necrotic timbre- barely flung above a whisper but loud enough to beckon notice. ”The name seems familiar to me in all its archaic mantras… perhaps I shall indulge myself to place it, at some later privilege to the pleasure!” Rubicund embouchements coquettishly curving into a snide grimace, condescendingly eyeing him over like a specimen betwixt fingers primed and ready for the extraction of the soft insides, Adaghar wasn’t to be underestimated but he was no threat to her, regardless of how formidable his quintessence was, for now Atra was quite restrained… coveting her truer essences and capabilities from any eye, even that of the Grand Devil himself. Animatedly Atra returned the act of obeisance and noble gesture, even if it was against her usual policy- but in times of business there was hardly any time for tomfoolery even if no less it would brighter a somewhat indifferent congregation. Attention then swayed over towards Cyan; stormy luminous mirrors never removed themselves from the composure of Corvax- addressing everyone else partially though not facing them directly. ”My dearest Cyan, you should have learned more from that evening other than profaning my body with such an act of barbarianism! There are many ways in which to handle a woman, and that was not one of them. Perhaps you have yet to attempt to woo one of my unique caliber; though… let me save you the trouble… I, my dear am not for the taking.”

A brief moment of pause while the smirk widened to blossom into something of misanthropy before retorting to various other statements ”I am always plotting something of monolithic catastrophe though this time my sights are not set on the world of man… my goals are somewhat more… daring. Mankind is not my enemy, only my slaves and puppets to do with as I will and nothing more. So, why declare war on meager sheep when we can take down the wolves? Perhaps it means little to do, to be torn asunder and hurled down through the stars only to crash into the fires below? Or to be shunned by both because you are an abomination to both, never cast out or damned, not entirely? My sights are set on the golden gates and the infernal powers, not these weak and pitiful insects. If hell or heaven will not come to me, I shall go to them… eye for an eye. It all starts here… it always starts here.” Maybe none of them would understand her words save for Corvax, if they weren’t any of the fallen or outcast they couldn’t possibly understand the conviction and revenge of Atra’s suggestion and direction of where this was heading. It was nothing to neither scoff at nor take as a flimsy ideology conjured by many of histories most sadistic zealous minds.

The agenda is relatively simple, I am not interested in segregated triumphs Cyan, I want it all… no compromise and no mercy. Hell on earth while the heavens bleed from the severed throats of the triads, while the world bows down on death-kneel only to experience what my father failed to achieve. Ambitious… yes… negative… no.” It would be their choice to make, but it would be wise to make it favorably without weakness or fear. Either way, Atra would act on her plans with alliance or by her own hand, alone just how it has always been. Corvax’s responsive aroused an asphyxiated chuckle, listening to the warning provided towards Cyan to reevaluate his directive in this conference of Kings and Rogues.  Whether they juxtaposed themselves to her quarters in audience of courting or power, such things weren’t her concern completely, oblivious to the ways of man and attraction- not caring to delve into it further… never having the ‘father figure’ to intervene. Attention further rousing at the mention of ”General” the feat displaying itself with question over her picturesque brow, though not speaking until he had finished with his inquisition on Cyan’s persona. Pondering how he would react and what would eventuate should things become a little more delicate.

”I have known very few Devil’s worthy of mention… but I must correct you on one thing, I have no ruler only declaration of loyalty to one other that right at this minute I begin to question, for where is he in this little plan for advance? Where was he when his world crumbled to the decay and rot in the hands of who he placed it in? Again I am overlooked, because I am less obtainable. As for my father, there is nothing but oppugnancy I assure you… and no love is lost. I would sooner be the bringer of his death as I was my mothers without a guilty conscience. A request? No… I heard nothing in asking in your voice, but your proposal suits me grand enough to achieve my own desires in obliteration… ruin for all those above and below had strived to maintain from the first spark of creation. I accept your offer, only because it suits me and is in my own will to do so not because I fear your wrath or temperament for I am sure it’s just as fiery as my own. And if it isn’t, then I, would be greatly disappointed” Tongue licking over lower aperture while the last fragments of light and shadow were snuffed, leaving them in darkness save for the radiant opalescence dancing within the nucleus of oculus vituperation.

Ignorance is freedom and freedom is bliss, beneath the notice of the two testosterone laden warriors, Adaghar was silently amused within his own profanity of malefic introspections. The fact that to them he was deemed unworthy of notice suited him well in the ever growing dementia of dark intrusions. She had noticed him and that too suited him for he could scent the majesty of light and darkness oozing about her, two opposites of disharmonious enthrallment combined and wielded by the right of birth and blood. Her intrigue, alluring in its conflagration for such an unholy sacrament rarely survived its conception so her uniqueness aroused his curiosity.

Perusal's glimmers wandering from form to form, deciphering the indecipherable, pondering the improbable unions invoked in perverted soliquey to stand on solid (or imagined) soils. The one Corvax, titling her general, bringing a moments pause for such a title invoked the thought that he was fit to give her orders when the earth's piquancy invoked that in all fairness it would seem the other way around. Games within games played and perhaps the spider merely lured her prey to the web, unsuspecting of fates devourment awaiting. It mattered not to Adaghar, his own loyalties as yet to be vivisected from the blackness of his essence, the only one of interest thus far the Lady... the others mere creatures of creations opposition, still unwittingly bowing to what existed before any creators whimsical fruition.

Power flowing sealing off the shadowed entrails of formless introspection, Adaghar smirking since light and shadow played no part in his own adaptions, in fact often they were nought but a hindrance in the pathways evokation. Until creations conceptualisation of light there had been no light or shadow, only the midnight serenades of forsaken evolution. Form had no meaning in sightless abyssia, the only reality, hunger, eat or be eaten, never knowing what travesties erupted about you in the interstice of unknowable affliction. Form and matter, delightful toys, danced upon in a phlogiston of embraced desires, esurience unfulfilled, gluttonous beyond  comprehensions vilest imaginations released by accident upon creations deigns, unchained, uninvoked, uncontrolled. Upon manifestations realisation, hunted and bound to flesh awaiting apocalypses final spasmodic abortion to be again free, to swoop in the most ancient of hollowed reflections, the hungered spheres.

The fact that some aspect of memories arousal found hints of his existence in familiar terms bringing the ghost of a smile to his lips, perhaps his name had not been forgotten in the unholiest of sanctuaries, mayhaps his respite had not been as long as first considered. The gravelled caress of crushed granite oozing from his chest in tortured echoes "Indeed Dark Lady, perhaps such things may be explored in times twisted arenas, after supping on the entrails of holy and unholy alike, the blood of innocence lost and the shrieks of doomed defilement. For now however the feeding of deaths pale spectre seems a more fitting... opportunity, wouldn't you agree." A mist about the one called Corvax attracting attention, shadow play enticing, yet the fall of complete and utter darkness engulfing all shadow and now a feral grin spread for Adaghar was within the truth of his element. The glimpse of dark light from her eyes as bright to him as the suns glare on midsummer, and a gurgle of blood caressed laughter rumbling in subterranean anticipation, for by the failing of light, even shadow ceased to hold power.

Such darkness sucked the voracity from the pustules of shadows reach and only emptiness remained, the silent verdict of vacuums decree where light and shadows power failed and the only existence was the nightmares of psychopathic entropy. Herein was where Adaghar felt truly in his element, now he was as perverted renditions intended. Nostrils flaring, taking a deep breath of blackness's endurance, muscles strictures complete in adjunct. The earth beneath his feet offering a thrumming vibration of recognition for pestilence revealed, unleashed upon the grail of matters gilded sacrements. The sepulchre sealed... perhaps... Adaghar shrugging nonchalantly to himself, the next move in this game awaited as awareness stimulated his physique on a cellular level altering the bonds within, transmuting the vast emptiness between molecular infusion, making him at last... complete.

As he stood silently awaiting Atra’s reply, he couldn’t help but listen with some level of amusement to the words Corvax utters forth. Statistic in his path? Lower level caster? Hah! The fool was quickly turning into a source of great amusement for Cyan, and he actually laughs at the devil as Corvax continues to blather on and on about his superiority. For one so superior, it would seem he has to prove it to us, as well as himself. Pitiful. Cyan thinks to himself, eying the devil for a moment more. As Corvax spoke, Cyan paid him enough respect to listen to what he said without saying anything himself, until Corvax is good and done saying what he has to say. Once the devil finishes speaking, both to him and to Atra, Cyan begins to consider what he is going to say to the devil, and just as he is about to speak, Atra cuts him off. Thus he hears her out, and he nods in agreement to what she says when she states that she is not for Cyan‘s taking, and he also nods in agreement to what else she has to say, namely in regards to her goals and who her enemies are, and who her puppets are as well.

When Atra finally falls silent, and after Adaghar adds his input, Cyan allows silence to pierce the air as he waits for the three of them to finish. At last, after waiting a moment more, Cyan finally feels it is time to speak, and he opens his mouth as he begins to reply to Corvax, using the same tone as the devil chose to use with him; a tone of superiority, though not so aggressively so. As for Corvax‘s questions about Cyan and his origins, and of his worth, they would go unanswered for Cyan had no need to explain himself to this devil. “It would seem to me, that though you are the one who is being summoned, you have missed what is truly going on, great Devil that you are.” Cyan pauses for a second, putting emphasis on devil, leaving it to Corvax to read into before continuing on, “Each of us here share the same goals, do we not? We each have our own plots for the world that is ignorant of the storm we represent, but in the end are they not all rooted in the same deeper goal; the fall of good and all of those that would oppose our perfect world?” Cyan says, pausing for but a moment to choose his next words well before speaking, lest Corvax misunderstand his meaning with his simple train of thought. Seemingly only conflict was something he understood, though Cyan would allow him the chance to show his intelligence, if there is any to be seen.

“You are trying to show off your mighty power, when I recall none of us questioning it. How about you try and show your wisdom and intellect, instead? Is this not the downfall of all alliances of darkness? One or more of those involved cannot seem to work with one or more of the others, and thus the alliance is always doomed from the start? Does this not indeed work against our goals? Does this not benefit that beast Atra spoke of, the one that while wounded and lacking influence in this world she has summoned you to bring about it’s end? You would do well to heed what I say, for I have considered my words more carefully than you chose yours. I am here with all intentions of serving another, for the sake of our common goal.” is what Cyan tells the “great devil” Corvax, who seems to have Cyan mistaken for some other being. “Atra’Lamia…You sent the summons, and I, for one, intend to serve your will in whatever slaughter you should instigate. Allow me to be a tool, like a scythe during the harvest, in seeing your plots and goals become reality.” Cyan says as he turns and looks to Atra’s form before bowing at the waist to her.

Head tilting to the left as tainted eyes gazed into his General's eyes, the filth coming from this intruders mouth began to bore him, insulting every ounce of fiber someone of sadistic intentions had been on. taking another never needed breath, something to show a bit of humanity within the devil even if he never had a taste of it to begin with.

"Are you that big of a fool? Do you really thin that I need to prove myself... need to show my power in a world like this? the only time your little life would get to see a glimpse of my power is If you just happen to live long enough to bash down the golden gates, right before i strip the Organic and Inorganic Angels of their wings... The truth of the fact is Cyan, You can't even fathom what I am... You'll be lucky to even get a close enough guess as to where I come from. if it had not been for my General and her conversations with you, you'd have been stripped of every Shadow and Darkness power you could have possessed through my will and Her Fathers." Speaking directly to the foul being, tainted interpretations of inner workings of biased retreat, Cyan's very existence was the soul reason he walked his existence, to eradicate everything like him.

He took a step back, stepping back within the doorway of his little bastardised ruins... the marking that engraved the very name he bore, the very description of what he did... who he is and how he came to possess this once glorious building had soon faded, with her very drop of blood... stripped the lettering from stone. hands coming up once more to place now on both sides of the frame as the last words were spoken to the foul beast. "You're wrong; Cyan. Our intentions, goals of destroying every good being, bringing back the glorious days of evil... You couldn't be more wrong in that assumption. Let me give you a hint as to what I do." eyes looking down for a moment as the crimson mist began to spew about his eyes, rising up past his own hair to evaporate within the air before his lips parted one last time for Cyan, maybe the very last until he was done killing.
"Destruction, I am not here to souly destroy good, nor evil... I am here to destroy it ALL! Nothing is safe from My General nor Myself... The time of God's Reign and Lucifel's self-proclaimed Godship are over, Their Brother has come to destroy them both, to feast on the heart of Family. You seek to destroy all that is Good, Correct Cyan? while I and Atra herself seek to destroy it all, to spill as much blood, strip as much flesh as we possibly can before we're stopped....if Ever."

With that, he was gone... hands moved to his sides as his feet carried him onward, no more wasting time getting it through Cyan's skull... He wasn't here to debate or be challenged by a pup, he wanted the big dogs, the ones that could actually make a dent in his very existence. as clear as his path was, so would the voice of command to all the old souls that once followed him, to bring a bone shattering voice to those that watch from above, from below... it was all coming to an end. "Rise my Warlords of Carnage! Meet me at your fallen rulers gates, bring them down in name of the Outlaws! Again... We Have Risen!" echoing through the land, striking every ear that dared to listen to such an UnHoly voice, a call much like his General's, but this time... It was spread to those that once called him an Ally.

[align=justify:c834c750ea]With grandeur Atra’s chin ascended, stirring attention from Corvax only to return to Adaghar in time to retort to his question whether rhetorical or intended to be answered; flambeaus of radiance filtering through the centers of her eyes while the darkness snuffed all light, no longer did shadows exist, nor did they have the means to exist when the illumination had finally dispersed rendering them unseen in the pitch, inky blackness- save for the pinpoint luminosity piercing from her gaze while it drifted across the void of manipulated element. Creature of the earth…I care not for Death’s pale specter nor give gratification to its musings- the only influence I marvel upon is that reaped by my own two hands for the reasons I see fit, for my will has no boundary or limit only wings to fly death swifter to those foolish enough to stand beneath my wings. Perhaps my insight has been somewhat clouded… now the shroud has lifted only to awaken to me a new world, a new cause… one more befitting to me… and my hungers. So dine, drink your fill… and maybe…just maybe, you’ll glimpse that hell you so wish to obviously see.” A snide simper crossed her beauteous features, playful yet mischievous enough to inspire controversy- seductive, audacious and gauche, everything temptation should be, and only that of what a woman of her degree could ever possibly provide.

Indeed this was an amusing gathering of assortments and demeanors, some more misunderstood than other’s or simply overlooked by arrogance and the typical male ego of testosterone; it was always interesting to see how such meetings eventuated and how they ended… hopefully in blood… added spice for the eye-candy. A breathless snicker followed Cyan’s ripostes and verbal challenges, from timber and tone of voice to initiated body language towards Corvax. Even though Atra knew nothing of this one ‘claiming’ to be her father’s brother, she couldn’t help but wonder why all those centuries ago, Lucifer had spoken naught of it. Another intrigue of curiosity… for now she wouldn’t debate it, instead drink in the bounty of information only to process it later under closer and more brutal scrutiny to her leisure. Right slender brow arched with half expressions…mockingly and the other sanctimoniously to the notion she had summoned all of them when in fact, she had only summoned one. ”Cyan, shall I shed some light onto that subject? You assume too much and fall short where it should matter… I have to correct you; I only summoned Corvax… you arriving here was by your own admission or submission, define it as you will. You came here by your will, not by my own… nor my spoken or intended request.”

Obeisance returned with a small inclination of her brow towards the nadir of darkness ebbing, surrounding their forms… vision slightly obscured but none were infantile enough that none could see the other, and to claim mastery over darkness when one had the ability of her father to burn out an eternity of darkness by nature let alone thought found this even more enlightening to the topic. Darkness meant nothing, the essence of the void within- the light without- it was nothing but wasted energy in all hindsight… like playing a game of chess, eventually it all becomes redundant and taxing, waning to the non-interesting and hence disposable. ”As for being a tool, a scythe to my extended wrath… I need not servants, pawns or puppets to strive by my side… I much prefer the wits and intellect of one, who fights for his own means and reasons- a common cause, may appear captivating but it only proves you to be a lamb and not the wolf. I need not an extension for I kill by my own hand, sword or means… it is the pleasure of the kill I seek, and I am not prejudice who falls under the blades of my guillotine or receive the kiss of my gauntlet… just as long as they bleed… that is all I covet.” Elucidation fleeting, conglomerating to squamous mass… did they not find the darkness slightly dull, tedious and unimaginative?

Stance erected to full composure, not faltering in posture, a more assertive position only to gloat over the harshly banter twixt Corvax and Cyan- but were they harmless thunderbolts and stale words without promise of glory? At least Corvax’s ambitions were similar to that of her own, something that had never really been encountered before other than by another… a past that seemed eternities ago… then again that was so because it was… lifetimes been and gone, wilted and birthed into new era’s of chaos and war. There was no need to reply to the Devil’s statement or declaration of the horror he intends to bring upon heaven, hell and the world’s betwixt the barriers- it was all so sweet to Atra’s ears and perceptions, utopia to the nefarious whims of her own sinister soul. For now she remained silent, contemplating the possibilities and what was needed to accomplish their goals… not the end of just ‘good’ and ‘evil’ but the end of everything… just like what revelations prophesized. The beast was already beginning to stir, Atra could feel it in her blood… the flames rising higher only to lick along the satirical-edges of her wings and svelte limbs beneath the surface of the flesh where quintessence amalgamated to resurrect the full potential of her heritage… the first of her kind and satisfyingly the last.

Some things are sent as trials... some however are simply provided for amusement and this days events left Adaghar rife with the amusement of follies disinterment. The only one thus far worthy of serious consideration was she who walked in the purity of definitions antagonism. Her swift retort, the clarity of thought veiled behind her voice, a clear and poignant statement, that she was indeed the master of fates determinations, no other directed her will or potence and he whom named her general seemed to have missed this seemingly minor point of reference.

It didn't matter to Adaghar, he had his own twisted machinations to pursue and the whims of one whom played in shadows effulgence were of such little importance as shadow itself. Where he had come from, shadow didn't exist, it was less then nothing and the power pertaining to its use, meant less then nothing. In this world of heaven, hell... mortals and others, he still found its use incomprehensible... why use something so easily disdained.

The time for such brevity passing, as after all his response required thought for the words thus spoken allowed no flippancy. The deep engulfing darkness so delectably embracing, his senses alive and tingling in the delicious sombulance. Complete and utter darkness phased Adaghar not at all as complete and utter light bothered him not. The extreme contrasts of either merely instigated a shift in his forms balance, simplicity in itself.

A brother to the creator, now that was amusing as the creator had emerged from the nothingness to will himself into existence and Lucifel, an imitator perhaps of one whose reality excluded all as he was created alone, but then again, those to whom the living were merely fodder, the screams of anguish the sweetest music were always created alone and those whom claimed creators manifest, solitude was their existence.

Shrugging to himself, ponderance at her utterance creasing his lips amidst the darkness, knowing that her perceptions would slice through the abysmal night surrounding them like a razor though the throat of a baby... His voice, at home in midnights fallacies, deep, strong, dripping with venomous inferences. He would not correct her assumption that he was a creature of earth, although from what he perceived, it was quite likely this was another play on words and she knew far more of him then revealed, a ploy in the game...

"Your speech has the edge of one whom is sufficient unto herself... one who buries their own hands in the steaming entrails of those they deem to torture, no squeamishness in your nature, no need for the feeble minions to fail at their task. Fallen or creators aspect, demon or angelic... light or dark all are victims to slake your thirst. It seems your whim has as much power as the suns rising or the devourment of light by nights foul breath. So... is this it, do we stand in darkness awaiting dawn, or is there a purpose apart from the posturings of the others here? I have seen heaven, I have seen hell and it pleases me for now to see death of any and all who stand on either aspect... To pull the wings from an angel like a fly, to rip the balls from a demon... all the same"

Upon hearing Corvax’s words as he spits forth his reply to what Cyan had thought, he narrows his eyes for but an instant as he raises his mental shield, which he had somehow neglected to do earlier in his eagerness to answer Atra‘s call. A rare slip up in his preparations for dealing with those who also possess prying minds, but one that he wouldn’t repeat, that much he was sure of. He simply smiles in a fashion that is clearly mockery as Corvax continues his endless rant about how little and insignificant Cyan is in comparison to him, about how Cyan can’t possibly fathom who or what he is. A chuckle escapes his lips as he listens to Corvax as he continues speaking still, declaring that Cyan would be lucky to even have a close guess as to Corvax’s origins and abilities, and at the thought of this Cyan chuckles once more. However, with all the humor Cyan is finding in what Corvax has to say, the most entertaining of them all is when he declares that if it weren’t for Atra’Lamia herself, Cyan would have been stripped of every shadow and darkness ability he has, which is lunacy, and just as Cyan is about to reply to Corvax, the Devil begins to speak yet again.

When Corvax first speaks this time, Cyan listens to his words until Corvax offers to give him a hint into what he does, and after that Cyan loses interest, needing no such hints from the devil, and he falls back into his thoughts as he tries to predict what speech Corvax will utter forth now. It isn’t until Corvax asks Cyan of his goals, his plots, of seeking to destroy good alone, that Cyan becomes interested once more. He allows Corvax his chance to finish, before Cyan again moves to reply to him and is again cut off as Corvax turns and makes his way out the door, calling out to a faceless audience called the Outlaws. Before Corvax goes any further, Cyan opens his mouth and replies to all that Corvax has said with a “speech” of his own, his first attention going to Corvax’s claim, “How do you imagine that I would or ever could be stripped of my shadow and darkness power, as you claim, when I am Darkness? As I thought…You clearly have me mistaken for someone or something else entirely. And for the record, I too seek the end of all, but seemingly more completely then you. I will rule this world in darkness, alone and in peace. I will be the only god any beings pray to, or know of on this plane. And in this sanctuary of mine, there isn‘t room for opposing interests…So I guess in due time you know where that leaves you, Mighty Devil.” Cyan says in reply as the devil is walking away, almost certain that he will stop and maybe even come back due to his sense of pride and his devilish ignorance, so secure in his own power and standing that he himself feels untouchable.  

It would seem that Corvax can’t imagine being so severely outclassed by a superior, unique being such as Cyan, who truly is the one and only like him, though his two children are fairly similar. Cyan is not so ignorant, though, and not so proud that he is blind and assumes he is mighty to the point of god hood, though he at times does feel as Corvax is currently conducting himself. But he knows there are those that can oppose him, and he knows there are those who can’t, but the most important thing Cyan knows of all is which is which. Unfortunately for Corvax, though he should without question possess some degree of power, Cyan has already fought and killed countless demons, and more than a few devils. All of which believed without faltering that they were stronger and better then Cyan simply by birth right alone, and all were wrong in this belief and realized how wrong they were as they faded into nonexistence.

Chuckling yet again as he turns his attention back to Atra, Cyan smiles once more as he awaits her reply. She first replies to Adaghar, and though it isn’t something he needs to know he pays a small amount of attention to what is said, if only to take a mental account of all that transpires here. It isn’t until Atra looks to him and begins speaking that Cyan truly listens to every word she has to offer, but upon hearing her when she says that he assumes too much and falls short where it counts, Cyan is surprised, if not disappointed. However, he simply remains silent and emotionless, allowing her the chance to finish saying what she has to say, and when he hears that he came here by his own will and not by her spoken or even intended request, he has heard more or less all he needs to, though he is sure she still has more words on her mind that want out, so he waits still. Correct in this assumption, he simply maintains eye contact with Atra as she speaks again while keeping his ulterior senses on the other two, for one never has a friend in a pit of cobra’s and Cyan knows this as well as any of the four gathered here.

She speaks of things he already knows, of how she enjoys the kill, and acting out the bloodshed with her own hand then ordering another to do what she herself loves doing. A simple nod is all that Cyan offers to this as he waits for her to finish speaking. As Cyan is about to speak again, he notices as Adaghar stirs, and begins to speak what is on his mind, and Cyan listens with a small amount of interest in his what he has to say, as it may offer a view into what it is Adaghar seeks, or who he himself is. Once Adaghar finishes speaking, Cyan opens his mouth and so he can speak to Atra, who certainly seems to be the focus of everyone’s attentions here, and that is one reason why Cyan is about to say and do what he is, because he has grown bored with this gathering and is a little irritated that Atra would simply dismiss him because he was not who she intended to summon.  As he maintains eye contact with her,  he begins to speak, “I’m sure you can see I’m somewhat disappointed, for I fail to see in this fiend what you see. But such is your choice, and if you say you summoned only one and did not intend for us all to answer, then it must be so. However, I‘ve known from the beginning that you were not summoning me directly. You would have chosen your words differently if you were. But I heard you nonetheless…” he says to her, pausing for a moment before continuing, “I would hope you haven’t forgotten that night in the thunderstorm when you and I met in the land of Naethryn, and you struck out at me, thereby ruining our chance at learning each other’s inner workings. A loss for you, no doubt. If you only knew what I am, or what I represent,“ Cyan adds, pausing once more as he gazes deeply into her eyes, those eyes that are so very similar to his own and yet subtlety different, before he continues to speak. “But it appears you do not know, and I will not be the one to remove my sheep-skin so you may see what I truly am.” is what he adds with another chuckle, before turning his back but not his sight on Atra’Lamia as he walks past Adaghar and to the doorway Corvax had just exited through.

As he reaches the doorway, he stops for a moment and turns his head to look once more at Atra’ “However, I wonder Atra, would you be interested in playing my favorite game? It’s one I  play often, but not as much lately as I would like, and you yourself already are good at it. The game is this; Who’s the best killer. Simple, right? Just between you and I, let us see who is the better source of genocide, the better source of extinction for all and the end of everything. Do you think you can build a greater monument of the dead than I? Let us see, for this is a challenge to you, and to your skills of killing, Atra‘Lamia. How long has it been since you were met with any type of challenge? You said you do not need servants or pawns, or tools, as it were, and I know this already. I know you, I know your inner workings, and on that night in Naethryn you should have been more patient.” he says, pausing for just a second, “I also know that what you need is an equal, or even a superior. We’ll leave it up to time to tell which I am.” he says, with a smile on his face,  turning again as he walks through the doorway and leaves the building. Now free of the barrier Corvax had erected within the room, Cyan continues walking into the forest around the ancient structure even though he could simply vanish, if he so chose. However, simply because he is no longer within the room, does not mean he is indeed not in the room, though why this is so has yet to be seen.

[align=center]Everything always returns to the darkness…[/align]

[align=justify:cb0e37beb8]An annoying little quirk it surely must be? Rhetorically metaphoric to even the minutest detail but in all its complexity, the truth is indeed a blindfold. Like all things… they were easily dismissed. Why? Because in all perplexity of genius… it s hard to impress one who has in fact seen it all, and been a part of it all in one guise or another and to demand her attention would only leave one or more looking rather inadequate and foolish- heaven to bless this hell with that curse; especially when everyone appeared quite at home in the definition of exactly just that. Cyan was nothing but a fool pretending to be the cock of the wall when in fact he was nothing but a feather duster- to chase away the specks of dust from some unforeseen god’s eyes or the cobwebs from some old forgotten web of inconsequential deceit, a little man with nothing to offer nor bring to his master’s table… the puppet master was not a master at all, but certainly a puppet to tease the strings and dance to some ludicrous parody of war… he was stagnant now, not that he hadn’t been in the beginning just sometimes it was best to humor and find amusement, even in the most smallest of things. This was simply a phantom of some forgotten shadow… nothing.

For now… Atra’s mind wandered to some other foreign shore, the psyche slipping away from this coup to an issue a little more close to home; she had grown tedious with the whole ordeal of listening to idle threats and banter between men and beast. Eyes of radiant flambeaus rolling with the discord already brewing from within the pit of her chest, temperament augmenting into wrath as the fires rose from the exterior of her epitome ”Perhaps instead of talking about how more superior you are O’listless and hapless ghost, Cyan… maybe you should cease in boring us with your antidotes of power and for once actually put some gusto behind the words… or are you just piss in wind?” Right hand ascending to pat away a languid yawn before continuing ”I personally find you nothing but a boring little man with no conviction behind anything you claim. I believe the word for it would be ‘fake’ modesty… I took Eden away from you, Caloria in Aoyn fell to ruin and still I received no fight from you or the force you proclaim to confess. It is in my understanding that you then become the servant of Armand DeLeon?”

Chuckling nefariously to the statement ever so mockingly spoken twixt those ruby-kissed apertures now smiling treacherously to reveal the ivory tiers expressively exhibited over sanguine symmetrical landscapes while the blood moon rose to portend some ill-omened battle. Whatever Cyan demanded or thought he deserved in her regard was far less than his idealism of respect…Cyan was pompous, a trait that resulted in Tanthis’s death time and time again, and perhaps if Cyan had been of something {tangible} {substantial} {solid} he would feel the embrace of her tenebrous hands around this throat while his soul was torn from the cavity of its idle slumber… but why bother with an insignificant to the level of this lecherous parasite? The answer was right there in the notion, he could offer nothing nor even suggest his own worth, because he was a non-entity with no power in this realm, just a useless thing easily dismissed. And thus it was so, he was no longer given any attention or even deserving a response, only that vicious cold smile as Atra’s attention turned fully upon Corvax.

”Tell me, dearest…. Uncle? You see an insect in your grace… what do you do? Do you examine it or simply squash it beneath the heel of your boot? How about you give me an eagerly awaited demonstration… then again… is this insect worthy of your attention whereas he is worth nothing of mine. Do we eviscerate him from the pitiful existence he hexes existence with; put him out of his misery or leave him to suffer the wretch that he is? To be completely honest… to do this would be considered a favor to mankind; they would probably place us as martyr’s upon the pedestal to marvel. Do you really wish for that to become a bane against your name? After all we both have reputations to uphold…if mortal man wishes to fear this abomination of all that is evil; it is the diversion that could work in our favor, allowing us to remain behind the smokescreen of lies… while this pathetic wisp works his infantile manipulations over the minds of sheep. Then again… I was never one for such subtleties…” Dark glance swept over Cyan’s faltering form… perhaps the false image of his narcissistic demeanor could have been upheld if only he had kept his mouth shut.

Adaghar wasn’t ignored; Atra had heard every syllable and word of his vernacular musings… just at this very moment she chose not to respond… becoming more eager for a change of scenery or for something awe-inspiring to proceed the stale waffle-waffle of Cyan’s puerile tongue.  Right now the very tables were turning, and it was totally in Corvax’s hands what the outcome would be, a twist of fate, demise or warfare- to do what they spoke of in the alternative of standing around in the darkness like dirty secrets discussing it; action was now called for, Atra was done with talking… she wanted to see and feel the blood of mortal, angel and devil on her hands… after all… action does speak louder than words.[/align:cb0e37beb8]

Fools rush in where Angels and Demons fear to tread... and indeed it seemed that one such fool had opened his mouth, or his ass depending on which he chose to sprout his intangible bravado from, in a place where it had never been wanted. Such a sad little ghosting in dismaying revelation, still unaware that death had claimed its essence and whatever dismal prowess displayed in life, no longer attached itself to the lingering essence of ethereal flatulence. Like a fart in armour... disgusting, but no real effect excepting the echo of anal intelligence against cold iron bringing catapultic laughter from those about. A smirk of sardonic indulgence caressing the lips of Adaghar midst the darkness, for such pathos would surely find final devourment should he ever step into the realm from whence Adaghar had emerged. The strands comprising the ghost a suitable snack to be devoured in utmost individuality for a ghost could feel the agony of demise, and the agony offered greater substantiation then the ghost itself... a meal fit for a Queen such as she whom had drawn Adaghar from his cold entombment.

In life and unlife there are trials, annoyances and bugs, and it seemed the ladies witticism defined this 'insect' to the correct extremity of insignificance. When the mighty and not so mighty fall, the supreme being becomes the fodder of Maggots and eventually a maggot turd excreted with minimal consequence. A shrug and Adaghar promptly forgot about the its' presence, of such minuscule consequence to the universes actuality that its presence was not worthy of remembrance. Head turning back to the lady, sniffing and tasting the rich effulgence's of perfumed solliquey from her direction, he made a decision, purely on the moment for she stirred interest, but Corvax on the other hand reflected something of little interest for now.

Adumbration and refulgence, adoration and effigies the complex yet total obliqueness of true light and dark without the myriad of shadings betwixt their realities. Heaven having darkness and hell having light amidst the pale spectres of remembered glories spouted by theologians the worlds over. Claiming to know the depths of the minds of gods, when in fact they knew nought, not even how their trembling ineptitude barely provided amusement for beings of such scale. Adaghar made no such claim, except the occasional ponderance that if reality was the dream of such potent beings, then their minds must indeed be cesspools of perversion and corruptions influence.

A tilt of his head in the direction of the lady, whose name he had not defined, Sorceress, the daughter of lost friends a possible indication of a name whispered in the maelstrom of hellish intention, but not sufficing, for under the most ancient rules of courtesy, one didn't assume to utter a name unless it were offered or... you were certain you held a modicum of potence over the creature thus summoned and Adaghar knew he held no such wisdom. "Milady... I shall again find you of that be certain, but for now I find this blissful night you have woven awakens old hungers, thus shall I fade and indulge myself upon the unsuspecting before returning." His head tilting in respectful synergy, then the molecular structure of his physique, redefining itself as a direct result of will enfolding the electromagnetic energies so self entwined, modifying his structure on levels so small to be incomprehensible, the slowly sinking away into the earth. A last echo of subterranean influence the only thing left being the thought which would reach forwards... "I shall find you and partake in your company again."

[align=justify:fb81982d65]The summoning had been brief, in some context pointless. However no doubt Corvax would seek her out when his sights were set on war, or acting out what so far they had spoken; to destroy heaven, hell and everything in between- to accomplish the feat that Lucifer and the fallen strived all those millennia ago. Whether or not their desires would come to pass, only the future would reveal the truth of fate, destiny and even will. For now their paths would journey away from the goal, there was business that Atra had to take care of before commitment to a plan on this large of a scale… many had strived to achieve this, and so many had fallen to their own ambitions rendering them failures in the eyes of those who once admired, now nothing but a parody of fable and placebo. Adaghar no doubt would once again find himself under the scrutinizing frozen gaze of Atra’Lamia when he suited himself to grace her audience, just hopefully she would be as accommodatingly pleasant, then again, who could tell with the random tides of mood and personality- forever constantly altering and alternating… unpredictably chaotic.

Right elegant hand ascending, merely dismissing Adaghar with an accentuated flick of wrist and eloquent gesture of sophistication… a dismissal; no dialogue would be exchanged, Atra knew he would find no offense in this action and if indeed he found reason for insult or offense it would be in his best interests to not voice his distain vocally  enough to arouse the astute skill of audible senses- then he would discover she wasn’t so amicable after all… the entire time within her proximity was nothing more than a feigned theatrical performance… burlesque to throw his guard, regardless of how adept his senses and psyche’s maybe, they were no match for her attributes. As for Corvax, words flowed… dulcet and salacious, it was up to him completely how he took them, though this was not a dismissal but more of an arrangement to converse upon these matters at a more appropriate time in a more appropriate place. Such matters shouldn’t be openly discussed when ears and eyes could just as easily be spying- Lucifer did possess his concubines just as efficiently as Atra had hers. Father like daughter or so the saying in this context goes.

The same hand adroitly turning as it waved past Adaghar, sweeping in course towards the direction of her Aerie, directing his knowledge to where Atra planned to be, or at least take this congregation of allied forces. ”I hate to cut this short, but I have other more personal matters to attend to. This is postponed; at least until you grace my abode with your presence and things can be discussed in more favorable and hospitable conditions unlike those of contriving conspirators without honor. I cannot speak for you gentlemen, but I on the other hand prefer more… comfortable surroundings were any fool cannot interrupt and stake his claim of importance… to my summoning. There is only one I called, therefore for the time being, only one I need to converse with. Excuse my impertinence, but for now this is adjourned. Seek me if you will, leave if you will- the choice is yours and of your own…free… will” Lithe figure folding into an elegant bow, they could make better plans whilst in the sanctity of Mortuus Lacrimae, feast and drink wine. Why stand out in the darkened elements like dirty secrets plotting against angels and devils?

A single step was taken, not backwards but forwards towards Corvax, solidarity liquefying to ephemeral intangibility, flesh turning into nothing but wraith-like shadowy vapor, wilting her presence away from their vision like fogs of night parting to the ethereal caress of moonlight and sharpened kisses of wind’s talons. ”Mortuus Lacrimae is where you shall find me…” Sultry timbre evaporating just as her image faded to the darkness that Corvax and the hapless ghost Cyan had manipulated to smother the area in its cold, dark, abysmal embrace like the Crone’s infertile womb… rendering them to their own companies with Atra’s last and final words ”We stand proud, we don’t whisper in the darkness like fearful  children, come… let us be proud of our promised upheaval, sing it to the angels and scream it to the Devils- fearing is not seeing… seeing is believing- and fear they shall all come to know” Would they follow, arrive by their own vices whilst Atra attended to her business? Or would they wait for more bitter winter’s to strike the fluttering dove’s hearts with icy pins? It was now their turn to make action… or leave it to be buried by the snow.[/align:fb81982d65]

Sorry for posting out of turn, but I want to get this scene wrapped up, it is pointless standing around staring at each other like nitwits. Atra has now left to return to Mortuus Lacrimae.
