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

Max peaked up from his cloak again, the fires around him dieing lightly."dammit. . ."He weasesed heavely, his new body not accepting his soul verry easily. He looked at Aturok and this grin forced apon his face." an eye for an eye, eh Aturok. Save your energy, i'll distract the beast." He stood up and twirled his staff in the air. He looked weak, angry pissed, and in pain. His face contorted angryly and he yelled at the thing." Hey ugly!" He yelled pointing his staff at the beast and clutching his cloak, the link being established as he shot a massive jolt of shadow energy at the things maw, not enough to kill it, seeing as how he couldnt hold the link for long. He huffed lightly, gasping for air." Im. . .talking to you, you poor excuse for a lizard! I've killed bigger things then you, you Turunadia!" He cursed, his staff being planted to the ground for emphasisim.

"I. . .can do something to help him" Rex said, looking at him."he saved my life ya know." He sat there and clutched a dagger on his hip, thinking hard about what he might do. "I cant help with the dragon. Fire against fire is bad, and besides, I cant leave you two alone. . .it wouldnt suit me well" He smiled and looked at rune again, his right hand touching his head. "I. . .know of a spell, one that might save his power, save him." He said, looking at gayle then at Rune again. "but. . it's also dangerious, requiring me to establish what I call, a soul link. . I can give him, a portion of my power, to re establish his, and help him reginerate. . .but too much and I die." Rex contemplated the thought." I. .repay my depts, always do, but now. . I do this not out of redemtion, but out of trust. . .Sulath vengo drarth. Moon guide me" He closed his eyes and pressed his hand to the center of rune's forhead, creating the link between them, and sending him, slowly some of his streangth. He would do this for some time, for the spell took both concentration and will to accomplish

Nyan suddenly turned to Max and brought fire down his way. Silvian nodded at Aturok and released the water barrier as it came down water pouring every where Silvian quickly harness the last of his strength and sent a constant stream down Nyans throat, but he couldn't keep it up for long as Nyan was moving too much and Silvian was feeling the massive amount of Fatigue overwhelming him.

Max closed his eyes, arm streacthed wide. The fire never came. He looked up and grinned, the torrent of water gushing down its throat. Max grinned and gripping his staff and his cloak he summoned the shadow tendrals again, trying to help hold Nyan down."Dammit Aturok" He cringed. "Do it know!"

Aturok ran Towards Nyan dropping down on all fours as the ice bulk on his body thided on the ground raceing towards Nyans mouth when he ran up once he was close enough he lunged up into the stream of water and right into her mouth ashe washed down into her throat as he stabbed the spikes into her throat and clung into it from going all the way to her stomach as he started freezing the water going down in the beasts throat the ice started to freezes up her throat hopeing to sufficate her as he countinued with all his strength to freeze her from the inside now that thiers enough water to make it easier

Max's eyes widened, his body he had realised, died each time he used his own energy, but the curse that was on him made his own energy bane to his now fragile body. He closed his eyes and bit his lip, trying to ignore the pain. He found that he couldnt. His staff flicked out of his hand, and the energy he had been useing and channeling fired back on him like a battering ram, sending him flying backwards against the wall, he could see in a dizzy light, the dragon and the ice."about. . .damn. . .time" He weazed

Nyan struggled to break through the ice as she choked on it, Her tail started swatting all over the place swinging towards Aturok and then towards Silvian and at Max. Silvian suddenloy noticed the ground cracking, and was certain that it was going to crumble beneath them if they didnt move. At each swing from nyans tail tryign to break the ice, she made ti crumble and Silvian noticed a bit of light coming from the cracks that couldnt be good. "Everyone watchout , the ground is going out.. Aturok!" Silvian shouted taking one last bit of water he could conjure and had it flyint the air int he form of a ball. The Idea was for Aturok to Freeze it, and allow it to impact the ground, He had a feeling the light was the nothingness that surounded Daemaria, and if it crumbed Nyan will be sucked up into the nothingness.

Max groaned, his vision still becomeing dizzy and hazzy. His mind barely makeing since of the things around him.He caughed, blood splurting out as he tried to stand up, he slammed face first onto the ground, unable to move, no shadow nearby for him to teleport through. He looked up at Silvian and Auturok." Cant. . . .move Silv" he groaned, his metal haind scratching the ground, the Azgule haveing a mind of its own, sensing its masters death."you. . .cant leave me like this."

Rex opened his eyes, slowly pulling back his hand from runes forehead, using it to wipe the sweat from his brow. He sighed, exhausted and gave a worried smile. [b]“I did what I could gayle, it will make it easier on him, but the rest of the battle, his inner one. . .is left to him to fight. Nothing else I can do”[/b] Rex sat back and listened hard to the battle outside. Sounded like the dragon was dieing though there was no mistaking the thrashing and crashing of breaking stone. He looked to gayle and smiled, pulling out his flute and playing it to match her tone. He was proud of her will and courage, the many years of living at the cot with her had shown him nothing but kindness, if only she hadnt of had to see this side of the world, if only ignorance would let it keep its peace. “you alright gayle? I know that this whole expeareance is nerve racking. . .I never meant to show you, this side of the world.”

Aturok quickly crawled his way out of Nyans frozen throat and quickly lept out of her mouth just avaoiding her teeth as he heard his name and looked down seeing the ground beneath him crack showing light as he ran towards silvian seeing the orb flying towards the ground as he casts ice on it to make it solid to impact the ground

Max cringed, trying to get up again but cringing as he slammed down onto the ground. He reached his right hand out,his normal one, his vision becomeing blurry."Anyone? please. . . I cant move"

Silvian grabbed hold firmly onto Max's Hand and pulled him up to safety and out of breath, leaning heavily against the wall of the hallway where they where safe, with Max thrown against the wall by him also safe. He watched the struggling Nyan become devoured into the empty white void along with the crumbling rubble of the ground that gave way. Thanks to Aturoks SWIFT response they all managed to get rid of Nyan once and for all. (lol)

Max felt Silvians paw grab onto him and pull him to safty. Gratefull he was in the current circumstance, for even as he catched his breath, it would be awhile before any of his powers came back. . .or untill he found a new body to take over. Max smiled and watched as Nyan fell to her doom, turning to Silvian and smileing."that would be me as well if it wernt for you Silvian. Thank you" He turned back to looking at the void. . .and still new, something else would be after him sooner or later. . .and he needed to hurry and collect the final artifact before Dramoria collapsed."Remind me to never insuilt you."

Rex noticed it too. Getting up from the floor and takeing his bow he knocked an arrow. His ears perked lightly and he pulled his hood up over his head. "I'll go check. . ." He said lowly, quickly and silently walking outside, getting a quick peake and sighing. "It's safe." He called back into the room. " You can come out. . ." He looked over at Silvian and the rest of them, curious as to how they could kill such a thing."How did you guys do it?"

Silvian growled getting up and looking around. "I hope everyone is okay... Rune..." He felt sorry for what happened to Rune but there was no words that would ever help. But more importantly there was still something else to do. They now had to go after Grias.


Grias placed the crystal on the proper pedestals. Cyrstal of Light and a Crystal of Shadow. Ralu was needed for his power over darkness however, Grias still had Shadow Emulator that Zean had made.. with it all he would need left was the white wolf Shara, who he decided when this was over, Shara would make a fine slave and possibly breeding. This was one step closer to his ultimate goal. But first, he thirsted for something that remained dead here, beneath the crystals just like in the chamber from the first era, was another seal, but this one was different, inside remained hallow for the being within it no longer existed in the realm, however, what was inside it was power that he him self had been craving... The power of the Griffin god Pam... He heard stories about it for a while... How kind Tanar was possessed by the griffins influence. And now such power here at the seal.. it was like a full coarse meal, and he was craving to eat every bit of it. Power... it was all about power.

Rex stepped outside, his eyes raised in both condussion and mock enjoyment. However, at the mention of rune, it died down and his ears flattened against the sides of his skull. " I did my best. . . got him through the worst of it. . .but still" He looked over at rune and shook his head, shivering off the cold stench of what he would think was either death, or chaos. "It must be. . . .hell for him to deal with, and he's not out of the woods yet."

Max shuddered and stood up, catching his breath and grinning wildly. "Must I remind you all. . .the danger is not over. . .there is still grias and whatever he is planing" Max grabbed his staff and used it as a crutch, planting it on the ground and standing up. "I had my golemn tracking him for quite some time now I might add. . . but she has lost his scent."

Zean panting and looking at them all he had something to say. He finally sat up straight and looked over to Silvian and then Rune who was now getting up and returning to the others, he was weak and needed the aid of others to keep him held up. Rune however refused the help, but every time he tried to stand on his own, he only fall to his knees. "I know where he is heading... I know where he is at, and it may already be too late... By now I am positive he has Ave... The Girl Elly... But also Shara... and I believe Ralu the Bear has fallen, but Grias still has one of the Elemental Emulators... He going to combine the Seeds of Creations to form the Anima Seed.... thus will break the seal... but its a empty seal.. only thing inside that is the griffins power... If you don't know your Ancient Legends... You should remember you defeated the griffin 100 years ago possessing King Tanar.... The Seeds of creation They are the broken up power of the Griffin god him self. The crystals are and have always been his power... however in that seal, it will allow Zean to control all of the elements... Doesnt matter what my motives are right now... we need to stop Grias... he can not have that power!" Zean finally explained. Silvian growled picking up his sword and standing up, he looked over to Max and Rex who was stepping outside then back to Zean. Then Take us to Grias..." Silvian growled and then looked to face Gayle. "Keep Rune Safe, wait at the entrance to this place how we came in..." Silvian was cut off by Zean. "There is once more thing.. Now that Time has awaken there's Daemarians everywhere even elders who are frightened at the situation... The city Daemaria is finished.... It needs to be evacuated before its too late!" Silvian growled and turned to Zean with his blade raised. "What the Glats to you mean before it is too late!?" "I am saying that Time was never meant to exist in this place... now that time has resumed, it is collapsing as you can see what happened to Nyan the City is no longer able to sustain its self inside this timeless realm... It is shrinking being devoured by the void, we stay here and we will all perish..." He explained now wanting only to leave. However Zean has always planned for the seal to be broken anyway, but the power in the seal was never meant for Daemon kind to possess, and zean him self was never interested in the power, but was interested in what would happen when all the seals were destroyed and all the seeds were once again joined.

Rex looked at rune and went to him, grabbing his arm and supporting him before he fell to the ground.Rex didnt allow runes pride to get himself hurt in the process. He however tried his best to not interfere as much as possible, all the while listeneing to what he and zean had to say.

Max looked at all of them and grinned.”Then I must hurry then.” He smiled and grinned, limping away lightly. “See you. . . if you survive” He said, dissapearing into the shadows like he always did.

Rex looked at the rest of them, thinking about the current situation. “Then we have to stop grias before its too late. . .” He stopped for a second. “No. . . you have to stop him. . . Ill take rune and gayle out of here. . . its a bit too dangerous and I think that your. . .kind would not think kindly to two mutts in the city, let alone, a deamon hanging out with them. . . no Ill get em out safely.”

"...You guys Ill get to the gates my self... I can do it... Some one needs to evacuate the people here. [i]"You guys there! Who are you!? What is going on? How did you get into the City and why is the city surrounded by White Void?" Said a Daemarian Gaurd.

"There is no way in hell, i am letting you go by yourself. . .besides. . .I have a plan for that" Rex grinned and started chanting lightly to summon his golemn. She apeared in a ball of flame on his shoulder again. Ruffling its phionax feathers annoyingly."I hate it when you keep me inside" Rex smiled and looked at the sky." Your kind reverands the phionax right? soooo let me use that as an advantage. . . Vendumane" She turned lightly." Time to fly girl" The phionax croaked with amusement and leaped into the sky right as the guard came around the courner. Rex turned to the guard, slightly nervous. "You wanna help out your kind? Evacuate the city! its going to collapse on itself."


~~~~~~

Max limped through the city, the crowd around him, moveing everywhere. No one noticing how he used his metal hand, tanting the few around him with his energy, creating vessels out of them as he headed to the hidden temple of the gryphon, him sneaking into the sacrid chamber, where infront of him. . . on the pedestole was the item he looked for and longed for. . . the key breaker. . .the staff of the gryphon. He limped over there and placed his hands on the pedatole, his body tingling as he felt the shield that protected it. . . he reached with his azgule and grabbed the staff, sighing in relief as he pulled it out of the shield. "ahhhhh. . . perfect"

Meanwhile outside of the Gates of destiny within the stone chambers of the mountain:

"We need evacuate the Tribe!!" Said a tribe member. "Sections 1 and 2 are sealled off by the lava flow. What about the leader?" Asked another Tribe member. "I will stay behind in the chamber of the gates to make sure that Grias will get out. Help the remainder tribe evacuate... Take the woman and children prisoners and slaves with you, but leave the males behind, we can find more later." He said. The entire mountain was shaking, chambers were collapsing, and filling with lave. Soon the Chamber of the gates of destiny will meet the same fate. The mountain was reacting to the gates of destiny, with time resumed within the realm beyond the gates, the mountain was reacting to these conflicting forces withing the gates.

The tribe member waited patiently for Grias' return. Soon he waited for the gates to reopen, and little would he expect the daemarian people reawaken in the city would evacuate through the gates as well.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zean led Silvian and the others to the great temple that housed the Seeds of Creation at one point. There was hidden chamber reviewed, showing a series of stairs that lead to the old ruins beneath the city. There stood Zean with the Seeds of creation, the Light and Darkness, in a chamber just like the one from 100 years ago, where the phoenix was awoken at the seal. This temple also had a seal on the floor represented as the griffin. Ren and Hugaa was present in the chambers as well, and with them was Elly and Shara. "So glad of your to join me.... At last.. the seal is mine..." Zean said and gazed over at Silvian and the others.

Meanwhile Rune and those with him was looking for the gateway back out of the Daemaria, the gates of destiny. There was no sign of the door, they were sealed within the city. "How are we supposed to come out the way we came in if the gates are not here!?" Rune asked finally able to at least stand on his own.
