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

Ave walked over to the large basin of dirty water, placed a paw over it, and began to concentrate. He wasn't sure why he could use the power of elements around black prism when no one else could, but he knew that he had to kept it a secret. Incidentally it's the same substance his collar was forged from. "NO, you mustn't risk it ave, if they were to find out..."

"Awe your no fun, I just wanted to heat it up and maybe clean it a little. But I guess you might be right...this time". He placed a toe in the water and said "And Besides, I've bathed in much colder and dirtier water then this, might as well enjoy myself".

"You've bathed?"

"Har Har, what do you think Ren wants me to bathe for anyway?"

"Your guess is as good as mine but I have a bad feeling about this"

Ave nodded, he removed his clothes and took a giant step back, "Cannon Ball!" The murky water was freezing cold, but he didn't care, this was as good as it ever got for the Mutt, and he was going to enjoy it for as long as possible, damn the consequences.

"Kon. Your name is kon?" Elly spoke waking up and seeing the familiar badgers face. "Elly.. are you okay?" He asked gripping his side. Took elly a momment to notice that kon was bleeding. "Your wounded!" She said getting up and looking at his wound. "Ill be okay.. a sword grazed me.. were is Shara and the others?" Kon asked but elly just shook her head. She was still getting names down and even then she didn't know were they were at. "Do you know why they brought you here?" He asked her but he already knew that she didn't know ether.

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

"Come on mutt. Your clean enough. Lord grias waits..." ren grumbled storming in on Aves med bath. "Get your self dressed otherwise ill whip you." She was not joking because several times in the past she was all but to happy to whip slaves. She wasn't afraid to smack them even children.

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

Silvain looked around carefully and he had a idea. "Aturok...Rexus.... see those stone pillars? We need them smashed to cause a cave in. You need to quick. Down below I seen them draging cages with prisoners inside.. meet us there the cave in should be more then enough for a destraction." He explained. He hopped kon and the others were inside.

Being all but immune to the sting of a whip, Ave was tempted to defy Ren and stay in for a bit longer, however, the real threat came from making Grias wait. When it came to Grias, his master, he did as he was told.

Quickly shaking himself dry Ave pulled on his clothes and walk over to Ren. He glared strait into her eyes as a last act of rebellion.

Aturok smiled and looking over at the pillars and nodded "yah i think we can pull that off...i rather enjoy smashing stuff" he looked down at his hands as the became encased in solid ice then back at the pillars and looked over at Rexus then for silvian to give the orders to move as he thought to hm sel what would be the safest order to destroy them

Silvian signaled Aturok the okay, and he and Rune prepared to get over to where the prisoners were. Shara stood watch also preparing her self to run once the Cave in starts. When the cave in happens, many of the tribe will get burred and many of them will mostly ether run or try to help there Tribe members.

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

"Okay Mutt... lets move it. Lord Grias is waiting..." Ren Growled and lead Ave to a large open area full of tribe members. This happened to be the Area in which a Cave in is about to occur.

Aturok ran quickly towards the pillar with haste as the mass layer of ice grew over him till he looked like a massive ice golem dropping the temprature of the air around him as he charged towards the first pillar holding his hand out as the pillars infront oh him slowly began to frost and made cracking sounds as it started to become brittle he pulled his blades embeded in the layer of ice on his back and pulled them out and ice formed on them as well growing thicker until the blades looked more like axes of ice as he tackled the first pillar cracking it easily sendingit collapsing hitting the other as he swung the hammer at the other pillar as they began doing as perdicted hopeing this helped silvian and the others

As Ave was pushed down a corridor and into an open chamber, he tripped and fell. When he lifted his head he recognized most of the people in the open room before him, and not one was an ally. In fact he'd been given scars or worse by most of them. This is not a safe place for Ave and he got a sick feeling in the bottom of his stomach.

Ave whispered "We have to get out of here now, something bad is coming, we have to get out".

"Calm down" consoled the voice, "We can't do anything as long as Ren holds the other end of this leash...We have no choice but to just wait and see, maybe an opportunity will present itself".

Ave tried to steadied himself and stood in silence, waiting...

Suddenly pillars now broken the place started collapse, causing a cave in. There was sounds of Tribe Members screaming and running around Franticly. Some of them summoned Golems that tried to hold the place together, and they had faces of horror when there Golems became crushed and they lost there power and there Soul Brother (Golems) dead.

"What the hell is going on here!? Ah" Ren shouted and released the leash to shield her self from the swarm of dust and dirt came flying her direction. This was Ave Chance to run.

Silvian, Rune, and Shara ran down to the door where the Prisoner chambers would be, and waited for Aturok and Rexus.

Aturok ran through the dust and debris the thud of his feet from his massive form as he ran up looking at the others ith ice axes firm in his hands looking at the others seeing that he did manage to accomplish his quest and looked at silvian "hope thats what you hoped for...what is my next task?" he ooked over to rune to see if he had any ideas

The entire area above and ahead of Ave was collapsing fast, in a panic, Ren dropped the leash! "Now! Run or get squished, I don't think I'll be able to protect you from this" barked the voice.

Without a word Ave took off in the only safe direction he could, back towards the prisoners ward.

Every cell in his body was vibrating with adrenaline, which in turn caused the elemental power inside of him to build up and spill over. As he ran, an uncontrolled light energy began pulsating from the soles of his feet, which propelled him forward with such force that it left his pawprints in the solid stone floor.

The more distance he put between himself and the cave-in the calmer he became, until he finally slowed to walk. He had only made it as far as the prisoners ward when he fell to floor exhausted. Ignoring the voice in his head that urged him to move on, he curled up into a ball, and fell asleep.

Silvian took his blade slashed the locks on the Cages. Kon who had fallen asleep woke up with such surpise. "Dont say a work, jsut try to help get some of these prisoners out of here!" he said tossing spare sword he grabed from a knocked out Tribe member. "Try to release them from the cages!" he ordered to Rune, Aturok and the others.

"You leopard... ur... sorry I forgot your name... But.. this little kid here..." Elly said wraping her arms around the young Ave gently.

"I knew I should have finished you..." There stood Nyan with a psychotic smile towards Aturok. "Where do you think your going with the girl and that little boy?" She asked, up to no good.

"Shara get Elly and that kid out of here, Kon you go with them!" Silvian ordered. Kon nodded. "be careful..." He said and did as he was told. Shara ran up to Aturok and grabed him and laid a kiss on him muzzle to muzzle. "Im glad your back.. Be safe.." She said ran to elly to help her up and picked up the little boy (ave) and ran out with some of the freed prisoners.

"Oh I will enjoy this!" Nyan said as Ren apeared beside her. "Glats!! Wheres that little brat? You guys!? Nyan lets take care of them." Ren said now with her blade out.


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

Shara, Elly, Kon, and some of the prisoners found them selves in a part of the old ruined city untouched by the tribe where they took shelter for time being. Shara sat Ave down. "Please look after him Elly." Shara asked and went to be on a look out incase they were found. Elly wraped her arms around Ave gently cradeling. "I hope your okay little guy."

He was glade they couldent see him through the layer of ice as he blushed from her kiss and smiled thinking he could get used to that and then looked over at Nyan and slowly walked towards her freezeing locks and shattering them as he went and grinned "i belive i owe you another taste of my blood...and you owe me your head!" he put the blades if his axes togeather he wanted to cleave her head off

Ave was drifting in and out of consciousness.

...he was laying on the floor, people where rushing past...

...he heard a voice saying "get Elly and that kid out of here" That voice...there was something about that voice, it felt...what was it?..

...he was in the arms of a beautiful white wolf, flying?...

...in the arms of a human?! her voice, "I hope your okay little guy"...she's not disgusted by me?...

Ave falls into a very deep sleep.

"Ill look for the little Brat later, he cant get to far. That was quite a stunt you pulled there with the cave in... However you all are not going to live to tell the tail! Nyan release your Chaos!" Ren ordered but ended up with Nyans blade at her throat. "Ill cut that tongue of yours pussy... I only do that for Lord Grias!" She smirked and even drew a little of Rens blood on her blade. She moved the blade back and looked at Aturok, licking the blood of her own blade. Ren Growled and hissed at her. "You damn felrian Glat sniffer!" Ren cursed in Daemarian curse words but returned her attention back to Aturok, Silvian, and Rune. "Fine dont use it... Ill use mine.... " Rens fur glowed blue lines all over her body as she went into Chaos Mode. Fire started erupting out form her body. "Since when anyone can control Chaos mode?!" Rune asked surpised that she went into it at will, had bad memories of that night 100 years ago. Rune remembered blacking out, but remembered all that Silvian had told him about it. Silvian who was just as surpised, remember that night clearly. Old man Ryu was killed infront of them, there dear friend, a Ancient who fought to try to save them. Rune suddenly so full of rage and hate for King Tanar, he he lost control, and went into a chaotic frenzy. Red Glowing lines appearing all around his body, lightning zaaping and apearing all over. And he stole Silvians sword and cloned hundreds of versions of it made of electrical energy, spiraling out of control, he was a dangerous killing machine, but if Silvian hadnt stopped him, Rune could have killed them all, and him self. But now to see Ren go into it at her own will, and even more scary, she seemed to be able to control it, he wondered what kind of power do they really have?

" Rune... Aturok... becareful." Silvian warned and held his blade up, ready to fight. Nyan flung her self at Aturok, more then ready to clash blades. Ren ran at Silvian and Rune and suddenly Sil was sent acrossed the room with fire scroching his clothes and his armor, Rune however became immune to some degree to her fire thanks to the lightning the crystal around his neck, mark of a gaurdian. Because 100 years ago the Fire and Lightning seeds were merged forming Pyro, not only did a Daemons power become able to use both elements but the Gaurdian crystal Rune had also changed. And most likely so did Dameons... Rune sent hudred of lightning arrows out from his bow, and watched as each one flew and hit Ren, however Ren seemed to be uneffected. "Is this the best you can do!?" Ren grabed her sword and let it on fire, as she came for a swing at Rune. Rune felt the blade penatrate the flesh on his arm, Blood flew, and he felt the burning sensation scorching the flesh of his arm. "Gah!" he shouted gripping his arm, but before Ren could do another move, Silvian had his blade protecting him, and clashed against hers.


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

Elly looked over to Gayle and smiled a little. "The Gaurdians are fighting to protect us.. right now the only way out I think is blocked by the Tribe.... we have to wait till its safe till then we are here... Please there water over there, I seen some on the way here, Can you go get some, and here... that broken egg shell over there." She pointed to the pile of broken dragon eggs that had dragon hatchling skelingtons that must of died possibly thousands of years ago. "If you wash that out and use it a bucket will help, can you get these people some water, this poor little guy first." She explained still Cradeling Ave.

Aturok never took his eyes off of Nyan as he watched her fly towards him with a insane look in her eyes as he swung his axes towards her but she doged the swings rolling beneath his his legs and popped up behind him slashing her daggers into his back gashing out chucks of ice as Aturk swung his arm back to hit her but she dodgled it as well and before he could do anything she climbed on his back and plunged the daggers into his shoulders"

Ave blinked his eyes open to the taste of water on his lips. While he was slowly coming back to consciousness, he could make out 2 blurry images huddled above him.

As he drank more water the figures before him started to become more clear. There were two female humans, one was cradling him and the other was feeding him the water, no wait, this one had ears and a tail. He opened his mouth to talk to them, he wanted to ask them who they were and what was going one, but before he could he noticed something strange. There was an emptiness inside Ave that he'd never felt before, what was it?

A look between fear and panic came over his face as he realized what was missing...the voice in his head had gone quiet. It had ignored him many times before but he was always able to sense it's presence, now, however, he felt nothing. Ave's eyes began to tear up as he pleaded "Please come back, I'm sorry for not always listening to you, I'll do anything, just don't leave me alone, don't go, don't go"

Ave repeating the phrase "Dont go" a few more times while he buried his face into Elly chest and wept.

-----

It broke his Golems heart to see Ave like this, he tried to respond to comfort the husky boy but something was preventing him, "That damn collar" spat the Golem.

"Ahh..." Shara shouted and the sound of swords clashing was heard. Shara was clashing blades with hugaa. "The girl and the kid comes with us." He said still clashing. "Gert out of here!" She shouted as she was thrown backward onto her back with grass food on her chest. "Go. Run!" She shouted again looking at elly. Elly picked up the boy while ion quickly tried to evacuate the others.

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

Nyan smirked and sent a stone flying into aturoks back. "Just die puppy dog".
Ren sent electrical charge through silvians blade and he was forced back. Rune stood up and held a han back towards sill to keep him back. "Time for mr to attempt merge. I call fourth your mighty strength of writ of the sky and thunder come fourth and may we be one. I give you a name glade!" Rune shouted and a huge white tiger formed, his golem glade and a bright light shot between them as glade turned into electrical energy and surrounded rune. Him and his golem started to become one both conciuosnes fusing. Silvain attempted this once 100 years ago but it was not a succeful merge. Now rune attempted and so far was coming close to merge.

He felt the shards stab through the ice and into his back as the ice froze keeping the shards from going deeper into his flesh as he swung and hit her sending her flying against the wall and before he could react she was already was slashing at him but was doing no real damage to him "you will find im a tough dog to put down bitch..."

Hugaa gripped the ground and ice started form all around, and managed to freeze shara to the ground. "Time to die.." He said about to plunge a sword into her as a huge White Lion with wings apeared, it was Shara's Golem, and it quickly swiped at Hugaa knocking him off of Shara, it then grabed the ground and ripped up the ice to free her. "Rai-ku!!!" Hugaa shouted, and huge serpant dragon made of ice formed, and it was much bigger then Shara Golem, Mira. "Mira Run!" Shara shouted climbing onto her golem, and with a nod, her golem quickly ran, as the serpent came and bashed into a wall just as Shara and her Golem just fit a door. There was suddenly silence as both Shara and her golem and hugaa and his golem both stopped to listen. There was the sounds of cracks suddenly. "Mira go!" The lion charged catching up to the others who were evacuating. "Run faster!!!" Shara shouted, and suddenly there was another cave in by far bigger then the one that Silvian had Aturok and rexus cause. Hugaa's golem basing into the wall had caused the place to collapse. They had to run fast. They where running and large chunks of stone fell and killed many of the escapees. Elly! Climb on!!!" She shouted and held a hand out for her and the kid she carried. Elly climbed on with the kid. Mira then had to dodge another stone chunk as it fell and nearly hit him. "Demi-human Girl Climb on! (Gayle)." She helped her up. "Kon!!!" Shara shouted looking for him. She wished could help more of the people but she only had room for one more person, and she was reserving it for kon. There infront of her was Kon, and there a large portion of the cieling and wall was comming down about to crush him. "Mira after him" The lion roared and ran to Kon and Shara managed to quickly snag him, and the huge chunk had just missed them! They reached small opening only big enough to walk. Mira unsummoned. They had to rest on foot. Lucky some of the prisoners managed to get in safely but many died to the collapse. "quick go, ill help Kon!" Shara shouted, and Elly helped lead the other through the long narrow hallway. Kon was limping, and Shara quickly grabed him to try to help him. "Shara.. just go leave me!" Kon told her, but Shara refused, and helped him walk. "Non sense you silly Badger, we are getting out of here..." At this point it seemed the cave in had stopped but they had to keep moving. Suddenly the passage way started to collapse, and Kon shoved Shara away, and sent a blast of the ground throwing her away from kon as the cieling fell and landed ontop of him. "Kon!!!" Shara cried and ran to him. Elly had to stop to look and suddenly shocked she quickly sat the little boy down and ran to try to help Kon. "Shara leave me... This badger is wounded and im only slowing you down..." He said, his half exposed body, his lower half pinned beneath the fallen cieling. "Kon We goign to dig you out!" Shara cried adn qucikly started digging but it seemed the more she dug, the more the place seemed to cave in more. "Leave me.. you have a duty Shara!!! Get them to safty.. Im a Badger remember... I can dig my way out... I promise I dont plan to die here.. but this place could collapse more any time now.. They need to be first...." Kon said. There was already a huge pool of blood comming out from the bottom of the rubble and Shara had a sick feeling he was lieing, he wasnt going to be allright. "Kon" Elly hugged the poor badger, and she wept tears.

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

Hugaa was kicking him self in the head. He managed to get out safely but he felt stupid, that this was his fault, they escaped with the girl and he caused the cave in. "Grias is going to kill me.." He whimpered.

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

Nyan and Ren heard the sound of the place caving in, rubble was already falling, and the place was shaking. "Nyan.. lets go.. we can deal with them later... we need to find the girl!!" Ren growled and ran out. If the Elly or the boy was to die in the cave in, Grias would have her head. "this isnt over puche!" Nyan hissed and ran off after Ren. "We need to go, this pace is falling apart!!" Sil shouted.

Aturok cast a ice shard wich plunched into the back of Nyans shoulder as she ran just enough to wound her as as he turned back to the remaining caged cutting his way through thier locks and stopped for a moment as he recognized Frall the so called goddes dirty and starved "well your greatness i love your new quarters...as i perdicted they would betray you...well this fate is your own.." he started backing away from her cage as he held his hand dowards the lock freezeing it and slashed at it opening her cage and turned and walked out o the collapseing cavern

Ave was still very weak and confused. Taking in the scene before him, he sat with Gayle why the rest of the group were huddled around the fallen Kon. He suddenly felt ashamed and riddled with guilt for allowing himself to break down. "Its all my fault...if they weren't so concerned about caring for me maybe the Badger would have gotten out in time." Ave said aloud, before he remembered there would be no reply. A tear ran down his face.

He now turned to look at Gayle, she's a "mutt", like me. During the flight he had noticed how the others had talked at her, looked at her. He had recognized that look, it was the same one he had been receiving his whole life. As he watched her cry, he felt a sort of kinship to the demi-human and in that moment he was overcome with empathy for Gayle. Whether it was more for himself or for her, he wasn't sure, but he reached out anyway, and gave her a hug.
