///City of Gods Part II- Era 1900 BC - The Land of Forgotten Time/// (Closed)

he swung his swords down at the earth fragments hitting the large pecies shatering it while the other hit his armor takeing the blunt of the damage it caused a crrack in the ice as he looked down as the fractures in the ice dissapeared and was good is new "i dont know what you have been taught or what values this world holds...but thier is no honor in tourmenting innocents...by the time im done with you you will beg for death...blood for blood...my friend."

"that sounds exilerating!!! But you have to be able to put up a good fight for that! I want to hear you scream, the sound of some one chocking on there own blood arouses me even more..." She ran to Aturok with her blade, stone earth flung from the ground and continued becoming projectiles flying at him.


"I know why you are here..... for me... i wont run any more..." Elly said, standing in front of a the big coyote daemon, Hugaa. "Good then this will be easy then... Come here babe, I will make this painless as possible..." He said to her holding out a paw/hand for her. Elly did not want to see any more destruction to the people as they had already been dealing with tough times. "No Elly!!!!" Silvian yelled and ran after him with his blade out but was quickly stopped by another blade. Dameons! "I am sorry I can not let you interfere... Not when we are so close to achieving our ultimate goal." Silvian leaped back. "And what is that!?" "Leave Elly alone!! Glade!!!!" Rune shouted who was just behind silvian. He had his bow out and sent a electrical arrow at Dameon, but dameon quickly held his hand up high and absorbed the electrical energy. Rune was surpised that Dameon could even do that, but Dameon was surpised how quickly the little white cat Glade turned into a gigantic tiger and ran at him. "You damn Feral beast!" he yelled and plunged a blade right into the rib of Glade. Rune quickly felt the pain and gripped his side as he felt the pain of Glade.

"Come one princess, you at least understand what you must to do.." Hugaa said smirking as the gently hand of Elly was now resting in his paw as he quickly snatched her and knocked her unconcius, then throwing her over his shoulder. He gave Dameon the nod, but all Dameon did was growl as Hugaa then ran out finaly having Elly. "What do you plan to do with her!!!?" Silvian asked looking over at Dameon who ripped the blade out from Glade who then vanished into gold dust that abosrbed into Rune as he unsummoned Glade. "I dont have time to explain to you... We have what we want!" Dameon smiled pleased and took off. Soon after all of the tribe was now slowly leaving, Hugaa and Elly now long gone at this point.

"...Looks like they have the girl... i very much would love to taste her blood, i bet its sweet like a nectar..." Nyan said watching the others leaving the city and then placing her gaze back on Aturok

He swung his arms as rock hit ice causeing cracking sounds as the rocks didnt effect the mass of his body much as the crackes in the armor meanded and smaraled at her "come here little gang whore...your an embarasment to your species..come here so i can rip you to shreds and charged at her swinging his blades down at her sending a frozen wind surgeing towards her

Nyan roared and leaped up dodging the freezing winds, accept icicles formed on her body, but even with that, her blood was filled with so much will to fight and blood lust, it seemed as if it did not even phase her. As she leaped and came down towards Jerron she through her blade to the side and brought out a set of Daggers, comming up very close to Jerron and sliced at him with both of the daggers.


Silvian and Rune ran to see where the Tribe was heading. It was evident that they where in fact heading to the mountains. But what was at the mountains was the thought crossing Silvians mind.


Zean was standing infront of the large pure white double doors, that lead to no where as they were located in the center of a large round room, that was partial ruined, but full of murals telling some sort of a story. It was the Ancient Chamber of the Gates of Destiny, and soon now they will open.

Max shrugged and stepped back, watching as the chaos ensued around him. He wasnt ever touched, and hardly did someone ever look at him. That was good for he did not want to get involved. Instead he studied them. Everyone seemed rather funny to him. There actions so pradictable. What he was watching and hopeing to gane more knowledge was there connection to there elements.

Max looked up at the sky. Something didnt feel right, even for him. It was as if, some crime against the gods was being commited. . . and for once, he felt pitty.

~~~
Rexus Leaped forword after Silvian and Rune. His sword in his hand as he ran out beside them, following the tracks and senseing the air for any foul magic. "makes perfect sense, and by that I mean none. what the hell is going on?" Rexus asked, keeping pace with them

"I know where they are going..." rune said and looked at both nexus and silvian. "Don't you remember were old man ryu had taken us that night? Remember the chamber of the ancients? The white gates? I think they plan to open them.." he explained looking at mountains. He wondered what they hoped to achieve opening them.

Aturok watched as the vixen slides and gashed at the thick layer of ice over his chest slowly chipping away at the husk over him and quickly lashed out his hand grabbing her wrist and froze the blade in her hand and lifted her off the ground "such a fiesty little fox...someone should teach you some respect.." he tightened his hand around the blade and put it towards her stomach to impale her

Nyan only laughed as she sent a stone spire from the ground shooting strait up. If aturok did not move it would impale him. Nyan continued to laugh breaking free from jerrons grasps. More stone spired started to spear all around her. "Soon lord Grias will have what he wants. The fate of this world will be ours."

Aturok lept back dodgeing the spike and grinned looking at her "crazy bitch....that may be true but you will not live to see it i will not rest until i see your entire rejected squabble of fur ripped to shreds and your skulls will decorate my home" he held his blade out towards her as his eyes glowed bright blue with frost flowing off them "and i will see your brand new world is frozen over"

(will Aturok ever get out of his frozen shell?....will he reach a shrink intime to disscuss his problems..find out next post)

" Not if I can see your blood spill, I want to see it stain the earth, want to taste how sweet it tastes, I want to hear the sound of you choking on your blood, as it is all symphony to me... Listen to my name closely, I am Nyan the Cannibal, most dangerous murderer from Daemaria. I killed countless Daemons when I was there, and even they could not kill me. Remember the slaughtered bunch of guardians at that temple? Oh how fine there blood tasted... I loved the feeling of my blade ripping into there flesh and how wonderful it too tasted, and sounds of there screams are like a lullaby to me.. So do you really think you can kill me? I have another secret for you but you will just have to wait to kill me first!!" Nyan lunged at Aturok just as a massive Boar appeared, her Golem. "Nyan we need to leave now. Lord Grias want us to be present when the doors open." Nyan smirked. "Sorry puppy, looks like I will have to just settle for a sample." She quickly through one of her naggers and it had just nicked Atrok cheek. She quickly ran and snagged the blade before it even hit the ground, and then quickly leaped onto her Golem licking the blade. She acted as if she was savoring the flavor. "Next time puppy.." and at that her Golem took off towards the mountains.

Aturok laughed watching her lick the blood off "go run back to your masters if you wish coward..running is what you do best...but ive hunted murderess beasts your no diffrent and your past crimes will make your death that much more thrilling" he watched as they ran off he used to find it pathetic but now it was starting to find it amusing as he turned and walked back down the stret as the ice armor shattred and fell he was still curious how the dagger cut him through the ice he countinued walking looking around for silvian and the others

Nyans daggers are that sharp, she spends a majority of her time sharpening them. She likes her blades razor sharp to cut things like butter. She snickered as she enjoyed as she put it playing with the pup whits was aturok. She only thought how he had yet to see her serious however despite her crazy pschoness she was loyal to grins and made a vow she would only release her true chaos when he permitted. She had flash backs of that night 100 years ago. Grins wanted something that was taken from him back. The highgust key that had been in his possession for thousands of years inherited by his father held great power that only his own blood line could use. It had been swollen by the guardians and so he and cyan paid them a visit. He gave cyan permission then to unleash her chaos. And she remember very well how she enjoyed tearing them all apart. She snickered more as now that zean had made a deal with grias for elemental emulators would Sean be surmised when grins reveals his true intension's. Zean would regret the day he tried to use the tribe as pawns. Despite he liked the emulators he had a greater power in mind. She then wondered how means blood must taste.

Silvain started making preparations with his gear. "Aturok... there going to open the gates at that ruined ancient city... I don't know what there trying to accomplish but it can't be good. Are you okay your cheek is cut?" Rune asked with concern.

Aturok smiled and placed his finger over the cut to see if it still blead and nodded "yes im fine old friend..was attacked by a street rat when i was trying to stop them...now this gate..where is it..are we going to try to stop them?" he sheathed the blades on his back and looked over at silvian with the supplies

Rexus finished checking his equipment. makeing sure he had everything in place. he tooked his green cloak around his shoulders and finished sharpening his blade, looking at everyone. Max stepped out of the shadows again, looking at everyone, smileing. " good question Aturok. Why dont you see what he is doing there first. People. . . exspecialy daemons, always have a motive. A key factor."

Max looked at Silvian, staff in hand. " but of course. Silvian knows doesnt he?" max said with a chuckle, being sarcastic.


Rexus stood up and sheathed his sword, ignoring max. he turned to look at Silvian and rune. " so whats the plan? storm the gates? ha" Rexus chuckled and pulled his hood over his head.

"Aturok.. you remember we escaped to the mountains when the stone spire's were impaling the villagers of Frall.. wonder how she is.. nevermind that.. Ryu took us there and we foudn that old ruined city. The Gates of Destiny was in that chamber that had the murals about the Griffin God." Rune explained and then looked at Rexus. "Wish I know what that damn discrace for a elder was up to..." Silvian growled.

Rexus nodded and fastened his belt to his cloak, looking at rune. " well why dont we ask him? chances are, he is right there." Rexus said with a smile. Max looked at silvian and Laughed. " you will soon see him I hope. After all. . .nothing is ever as it seems"

Aturok look down at the leather straps around the palm of his hands and flipped palms up looking at the black stones fasened by them feeling the cold emitting from them he hoped to hell they didnt run into that feline bitch again and sighed "well where ever she is i dout her mind is any clerity..." he turned his attention to silvian "dosent really matter at this point brother...all that matters is that they need to be stopped..our own people... and the humans they shouldent have to live in fear...all we need to know is in order for this world to be safe is grias..,frall....they all must die..death is all they know there for its what the deserve.."

"Fral is powerless.. Zean made sure of that... I dont think Fral can do any harm..." Rune sighed, despite what had happened to her, the thought of her sent chills down his spine.

"We should go.. If we go now we may make it before nightfall." Silvian ordered but then stopped to look at Aturok once more. "... Look... im glad you are back... but... runaway again... dont expect us to accept you back..." His words were suddenly cold and harsh and at that he started making his way to the mountains. Rune looked At aturok not sure what else to say but was pleased to see him again all the same. He too started fallowing Silvian fallowed by Shara who too had nothing to say.
-------------------------------------------------


Grias appeared in the chambers behind Zean. "Did you bring her?" Zean asked but Grias only smiled for a mommnet. He turned around to face Grias. "What is it? Did you bring her or not?"


"Oh yes... Hugaa and your Tiger friend is on there way now with her..." He explained as Ren entered the room. "Good as explained Grias, I still need you... you are the only one who can merge the Wind and Force Seeds... but first i need something thats here..." "On the contrary... It is I that needs you Zean..." He smiled and turned to Ren who had just walked in. "Ren.. Prepare the Mutt... I want to see the look on his face when he sees him." He whispered so Zean couldnt hear and Ren nodded and walked back out.

Aturok shook his head at Silvians comment and looked over to rune "he still dont get it...i didnt run away if i didnt leave i wouldent have these weapons and it....it was just something i had to do...of forget it.." he shook his head looking away not wanting to bother rune with his troubles "im starveing...anyone have any food?"

"Hurray, another day of chores and abuse to look forward to, aren't we lucky?" when no response came he scoffed and rolled out of bed, and by bed I mean the dirt.

Stretching slightly, and staring into the clear blue sky, the black and white husky felt a tightness growing around his neck. Instinctively he pulled on his collar, even though it's quiet loose around his neck it often feels as if it's pressing, or maybe restricting is a better word, into him. He'd had it for as long as he could remember and it bore the mark of his "master" Grias, who also keeps the key needed to remove it.

"Wake up sleepy head time to start our chores" Ave said aloud, again no response, sighing dejectedly he murmured "you know I hate it when you give me the silent treatment" once again silence.

"Shut it You!" yelled a grumpy tribe member, who had been sleeping near by, he picked up a large rock and threw it at Aves head. As it struck there was the faintest flash of light, Ave fell back from the force but was uninjured.

"God damn it Ave be more careful, I can't always watch your back you know?!"
"well its your fault for ignoring me isn't it?" Ave said sarcastically
"yes, yes I'm the cause of everything bad that happens to you"

The tribe member, who had thrown the rock, watched as the conversation the mutt was having with himself unfolded. He staggered back a step when out of no where Ave burst out laughing and tipped over wresting with himself in the dirt. He begin to wonder if he had caused some real damage to the pup this time. Then thinking about what Grais would do to the person who damaged this good for nothing mutt he spit, turned his back, and walked away.

Located deep in the same mountain where the Gates of Destiny were in, the old ancient ruins that had decade and became nothing more but a old ruins over time was now inhabited by the entire tribe. The Tribe moved place to place for a long time but this was the place in which they lived now. Hugaa had just arrived and carring the unconcous woman on his back he walked to a the prison area were inside was none other but many of the tribe people who left New Daemaria and Kon. "Take care of the girl... we need her awake.." Hugaa snickered take a wiff of her and then gently placed her in the cage. He wondered what it was like to mate with a human on the otherhand, he despised humans and yet the curiosity was there. Grias would have his head if he did anything to her, and that was the only thing keeping him from doing something stupid. He walked away, and Kon who was badly injured crawled his way to Elly and tried to make her comfortable. The poor badger Kon thought back to Daemaria and he felt terrible for leaving Silvian and the others. He lead the Daemarias to the mountains to start a life and they never expected that it was the Tribe that would be living there. Now there in a prison of Black Prism and there was no escape from it. "..I am sorry guys..." Kon said softly regretting betraying his only friends. He looked at the Pendent around his neck and felt he was unworthy of being a Gaurdian.


Meanwhile.... "So this is Fral..." Ren entered a chamber full of more cages. In the cages were Daemons all where dirty and skin and bones. They where the slaves, Daemons who had ether lost there power, Weak, useless, or chose to defy the tribe. Fral the Panther Daemon in which Zean extinguished her power was among these slaves. Ignoring the Fral who was begging to be released, she entered the next room and it was here where Ave was inside along with other Daemons. ".. Come here Mutt..." She said with a wicked smile. There was only one person she would be referring too.


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


It was starting to become night and they had finally reached the temple in the mountains. "...This place... brings back sad memories of Ryu..." Rune sighed remembering how it was here that Ryu was killed. Silvian placed a hand/paw on Runes shoulder to comfort him and then walked away approaching the wall where the hidden passage was that lead to the Old City. "Silvian wait!!! Look!" Shara created a sphere of light that illuminated the area and the ground was covered in fresh tracks. Wasnt just a few but more like people been going through for a long time now. "You do not suppose the tribe do you?" She asked. "Wait... Didnt Kon say he was going to bring our people here?" Silvian asked now looking really concerned.

Aturok stopped next to the others looking off towards thier destination and sighed abit no dout awaiting the enevitable ass kicking they have been reciveing since the begining hopeing they can stop what ever they hoped to do or at least make a dent he then turned to shara walking up to her seeing the light "so what is the plan?...im a pesant..i dont know squat about closeing gates..."

After two days of back breaking labor and collecting supplies for his master, Ave was finally back home in his cell. It seemed more crowded then normal but prisoners come and go, and he rarely bothered to care, sometimes it was just better to keep to himself.

"That was a fun trip didn't you think" Ave said aloud. Several other new prisoners turned to see who he was talking to, but when they realized he was talking to himself, they gave him "the look". People had been giving him that same look his entire life so he just shrugged it off and went to his corner of the room.

"Let me at them" growled the voice in Aves head.

"Oh relax you, they haven't done anything wrong" grumbled Ave.

"I know it just pisses me off the way everyone looks at us.

"I don't know, what about that guy in the corner over there, he is really cute and I think he winked at me?"

"That was more of a nervous twitch then a wink"

"Oh shut up" Barked Ave, the room suddenly fell silent, and with that he rolled over and drifted off to sleep.

--

Ave started out the next day just like any other, first by trying to wake up the voice in his head, and second by arguing with the voice.

"Must we fight every morning?" whispered the angry husky.

"Must you wake up every morning" smirked the voice.

They were interrupted by a sudden commotion coming from a few cells down. It sounded like a plea for release, "That's Frals voice, can you hear who she's talking to?" The voice answered "Sounds like that bitch Ren, and she's coming this way, we should hide, remember what happened last time our paths crossed?"

Ave remembered, and shuddered as he hid behind a large sleeping prisoner. Moments later he heard the shrill voice of Ren "Come here Mutt".

"Maybe she's talking about someone else" ave whispered hopefully.

"Yeah cause there are so many hybrid daemons in the world" the voice barked impatiently "now shush before she hears you!"

Ren grabbed Ave impatiently with a black prisim leash, and forcefully pulled him out of the chambers. She took him into a rather nice room, and through him into a washing chamber. "Get Cleaned up... its a big day tonight Mutt... Dont think about escaping the only way out is that door... Ill be waiting... and be quick about it..." She growled and let out a nipping sound as she walked over to the door and guarded it. The Washing chamber had a huge tub already filled with water, however despite how nice the room was, the water was freezing cold and dirty. It was already very well used bath water more then likely, and Ren didnt want Ave to get to comfortable.

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

"So... what is you are after Zean... big old gates... what is in it exactly?" Grias asked eyeing Zean closely however... somehow Grias already knew what was beyond it however he wanted to know more about what Zeans attentions where, as Grias him self had his own ideas of what he wanted beyond the gates.

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

Silvian opened the doorway and entered through the path to the city cautiously. "If the tribe are here... Chances are our people are too... Keep a eye out.." Silvian explained fallowing the path. He hid behind a large pillar and series of rocks peaking over to see what was going on, the entire place was infested with Tribe members and they had to be careful. "So whats the plan?" Rune whispered looking around down at the city of Tribe.
