///City of Gods Part I - Era 2000 BC - Legend of Ancients/// (Closed)

Aturok did his best to stay in the bushes and sneak closer into the village freezeing ocasionaly to keep quite from passin villagers then moves closer for a better look at what the girl was holding

"Aturok... There you are.. come quick... There is a big fight going on. We need your help! Its Dameon" Rune explained exhausted trying to look for him and finally finding him. Not only that, his nose bleed. And he had a few wounds on him as he fell over onto the ground to catch his breath.

Aturok looked over at rune seeing him injured "rune what happened?....wait nevermind..lead the way quick ill help you the best i can" he stood up ans started moving away from the village

"Quick help me. I can barely walk.." Rune had enough of running he just did not have it in him any more. His leg showed signs of struggle. Rune limped to lead the way back to the temple. There was also sure signs of smoke in the air as well as the smell of dirt, water, and blood.

he helped rune as they ran back to the temple where he seen the smoke "where is everyone are they ok? what happened?" he ran to the door of the temple as two ice swords formed in his hands as he walked into the tmple unsure what he would find he begain to hate the smell of death but he thought to himself he is going to get all to framiliar with it

Max had fallen asleep, he was exuasted, hungry, and in need of water but he wasn’t about to go down into that camp again…not after what just happened so he had fallen asleep. Max opened his eyes, expecting light only to get smoke. He was at the hight of the temple and smoke drifted up so he was getting a good blast of it. Max quikly tumbled down the temple wall, and quikly changed his position so he would land right on his feet. It was quite a jump for it sent shivers through his legs.

A shadow appeared around max’s right hand as he summoned his magic staff, and entered the aria, the feeling of chaos still fresh in the young humans mind. He turned around, seeing Aturok with the ice swords would easily made any man wet his paints, but Max held his ground mustering all his courage just to look him in the eye.

“Did you cause this!!” max said pointing the staff at Aturok. The staff was clearly an amplifier because it glowed with the elemental power of shadow, the same power Max had discovered in himself. “Did you try to smoke me out so you could see who was hiding here? Well you’ve found him! Now charge me!” max said in fear that his own words would provoke Aturok. It perhaps resonated all over the boy. Fear, chaos, darkness, a lost happiness. It all resonated all over the boy, the boy who stood his ground so that he would not be denounced as a coward. “I’m not afraid of any beast…so charge…” max’s words continue to grow quit as his fear was now catching up to him. There were no shadows in the place he was in, so he could not shadow jump out of there. He was trapped.

Aturok looked at him standing there he was gone the enitire time not knowing what happened he walked towards Max ready to strike "i was gone wich only leaves you responsible so dropo your weapon and i wont tare out your guts"

Max looked at Aturok, fear gripping his chest and soon after his ankles. Max was known for fights certainly not sword combat. his only power was that of the shadow. which only increased recently. But something burned in Max, burned like a candle, it soon replaced fear, and then it became something verry odd to Max, that feeling survival.

"fat chance beast!" Max grinned and his hand clenched around the staff as his element started to show his true colors. Max spun the staff in the air, a swirling amount of Shadow energy seemed to convurge around him untill he was encrycled by it. Then the shadows converged and shot out and Aturok but before they even touched him. they blasted into eachother, makeing a defining Crack to deafen Aturok and a black mist to shadow Max's retreat deeper into the temple.

Max Ran deeper into the temple, surly there would be a hideing place somewhere. But Max soon found out that the temple echoed every heavy footstep, and every breath he took in and out. there was no place to run in there, and surly they would find him and kill him.

Aturok knelt down engulfing himself in a ice shell so the energy didnt touch him and when he broke out and stood up looking for Max expacting him to make aanother attack he grabbed his swords and walked through the temple looking for the others

Rune grabbed his bow and sent a Lightning bolt at Max. He then fell over, as his wounds were not allowing him to stand firmly. The temple was burning on fire and so was parts of the Forrest. Shara and Silvian were both fighting against Dameon. "Why are you doing this!?" Shara screamed. Dameon sent more waves of fire all over the place. "Because Guardians are no more.. And I will tear this world apart until I find what happened to Deamaria." Dameon said and grunted as a massive serpent rose from the flames. This was Dameons golem Ragonis. Kon was laying unconscious near by, covered in blood as well.

Aturok countinued to search til he heard sounds of fighting coming from outside as he ran towards them overhearing thier conversation he didnt know who was right or wrong but he ran ans stopped to the side of the fire golem as he cast freezeing cold air at the golem knowing the efect be little but maybe draw its attention

Max hid in a nearbye barrel. the sounds of Aturok's footsteps close by. Max was shore it was the end, that was until The huge explosion happend and guided Aturok out of the temple, giveing Max enough time to escape to the outside.

Max made it outside of the temple, faceing a rather grizzly sight. Kon as everyone called him. Had been a good Daemon, at least that was what Max saw. Kon apeared to be a good soul to Max, and this brought Rage to him, but that wasnt all, he had a strong feeling of resentment. Resentment for the wroungs he had caused others, and that made Max rush out of the temple. Staff in his right hand, and a black longsword in the other.

He didnt care if Aturok was going to slash out at him. but it was now obvias that They didnt cause this, and it was now obvias that Max wasnt there enamy, but rather a allie for he spun the staff around in one hand, generating his shadow element and smashing the but of his staff on the ground, the same munuver that Max had used against Aturok and rune...but with a more deadlier twist. The shadows shot out at the golem, and if they missed they would swurve around and try to hit him again, all the while makeing a net of shadows around the beast...that was the plan.

'concentrate on youre center' a voice whisperd in his head, Max didnt care for it but he did listen to it, and that increased both the speed of his element, and the pain of the afterfect if it did indeed hit.

Dameons Golem froze part way but melted again in a instant. No ice would hold him, and only tickled. The golem turned to face Atuok and was preparing to grill him. Rune stood up aimed another lightning arrow at but this time at the golem. He wanted to make sure to stay on Aturoks side, so they could fight together. Meanwhile Silvian and Shara were doing there best to fight Dameon who had turned on them all. Then a man in cloak came out from the woods, and when he pulled down his hood it was revealed he was a Daemon as well. He was a Bear Daemon, and was not recognized by any one accept for Shara and Kon (If he was awake). "Dameon... It is time for us to go..." He said, and sent a shadowy ball of energy right at Shara and then Silvian knocking them both back crashing into the side of the temple. Shara's words shouting "You!!" Proof she knew who he was. He then turned to Aturok, Rune, and Max.

Aturok seen that he was sucsessful in pissing it off he knew he didnt have the advantage here and watcched as rune fired arrows at the Golem "you focus on attack i will defend" he ran over infront of rune and knelt faceing the golem placeing both hands firmly on the ground and began to concentrat soon the grass looked to be covered from a morning frost and a thick ice barrior grew up from the ground and encloseing on them with a half dome shape and a small notch for rune to continue fireing arrows he golem attacked the barriir with its fire slowly melting away at the sheild but the moment it stopped the barrior froze solid again

Max began to swing the staff again, it collecting shadow energy from the envirment, and in one last disperet attempt to trap the golemn, max threw the staff at the golemn, the staff spinning counter clockwise madly around the golemn, entangling it in black shadow energy. Max felt a cold breeze from behind him as ice started to form around around the golemn, the shadows helping the process if not a little bit.

Max clutched the black sword that was summond earlier, the blade felt unnaturly balanced in his hand, and it too immited a ominus black energy. ‘ center your self’ the voice whisperd again. ‘ balance your will’ Max turned around and faced the new face. Max’s black hair now starting to floot, the energy now becoming intense. He knew he had to fight now…there was no use running from it. Max stood in an offensive stance, a black mass swirling only inchis from his feet. “ come at me!” Max said to the man.

"... Extinguish the shadow...." The Bear deamon said, raising his hand, as the shadow energy released from Max was quickly depleted by him. A shadow entity came across the ground and then began tot take a black mass shape rising from the ground. This was his Golem.

Aturok seen shara flying out of the corner of his eye and then noticed the nw figure standing there as he turned and faced the bear and spoke quietly to rune standing back to back "whats the plan now..." he stood ready to block any attacks sent towards him

Max felt the energy withdraw from him, and his stance weakend a bit. 'concenttrat on you're focus...balance your will' the voice whisperd again. the energy quikly returned to Max, though not as powerfull as before.

"this isnt magic is it?" Max said to himself...almost as if he was reminding himself that this wasnt ordinary. "silent are the peace keepers...shadows of the just, show my anger to the one that does harm to others...rain of shadow..." With that the shadow intensified around his legs, unnatural but powerfull. the aria darkened if only for a little bit, and started hurling what seemed to be little concentrated balls of pure and unstable shadow energy, all of the concentrated on The bear beast...right now he didnt know what to call the strange companians that he just meet...but one thing stood above all...they where good people, and so was Max.


Max advanced with his sword out in front, a verry common battle art where he was from...but it was rather unnatural for the others to see...for each thrust slash and stab he was about to make, made the wind seem like an infint, one of the reasons why he didnt like swords...of course there was others but that did not matter. "draw you're sword!" Max said, the ballsof energy now shatering and turning into thin strips of energy that could easily decapitate a man.

The Bear Daemon, lifted his hands in the the air, and each ball that hit him was only absorbed into his hand feeding into his power over shadow. The shadowy entity that began to take mass began to wrap its self around Max's legs, drawing out and draining energy out from him as well as the power of darkness.

"Rune!!!" Shouted a large white tiger with golden yellow glowing striped, and each step it took, it releases sparks. This was Glade, Runes Golem. He crashed into the fire Deamon, but he became knocked back by the massive heat. But Coragem Silvians golem clashed into the the fire golem, and Glade channeled some of his lightning energy into Coragem, making Coragem a super lightning conductor against Dameons Golem. It began to take effect against the golem until finally Dameon had no choice but to unsummon his golem. But for the Bear, he was more powerful the any of the guardians. Who was he?

The Bear daemon, managed to drain nearly every ounce of dark energy from Max. Now he was going to be forced to release only small energy and would have to take allot of time and patience to regain his power. It could take him years. But at least he would develop better control over it. "Come Dameon.. We leave... Zean is waiting..." The Bear Daemon explained and then began to walk away. Shara was badly wounded, and so was Silvian. Dameon then nodded and fallowed behind. Silvians ears perked up when he heard Zeans name. "Zean!!! He survived!? GAAAH!!!" Silvian shouted as he quickly grabbed his sword and charged at the Bear Deamon, only he quickly turned and released Every ounce of Max's energy he absorbed onto Silvian, who flew back and crashed into the stone wall of the temple, and now laid motionlessly. Silvian just went through twelve hells, as all that energy that was once Maxes pierced through him upon release. Silvian was burned every where, and scarred, and worse then that, he was dead. The Bear Deamon and Damoen was now gone, and fallowing them now was foolish. Rune quickly got up and limp/ran to Silvian. "Come on wake up.. get up!" He shook Silvian, but Silvian was not breathing. Rune quickly attempted to blow air into his lungs, thinking maybe if he was able to give him air, perhaps he would breath. Shara who now stood up, just now realized what had happened. She too quickly ran to Silvian. She then ran to Kon hoping to god that he wasn't dead.

Aturok stood thier now sure where he belonged who to go to only one he heard of was Silvian the others he just met and with that he stood thier emotionless and lost he knew they lost allies this night as if the destruction of his home wasnt enough but now his kind are murdering each other here

‘barrier max, guard you’re energy!” The voice said, this time a Yell in his head like it was afraid…but max ignored it, his thoughts clouded by anger and rage.
Max rushed forward, but the energy was immediately swept from his body and he went crashing down onto the ground. The sword disappeared into the dark and ended up being materialized into dark energy ((I said shadow energy before…it’s actually Darkness)) Max got to his feet, the world spinning around him. He was weak, the energy completely wiped from his body. He forced himself to walk, but he was having trouble with it, he fell and got back up only to fall again. He walked over to Aturok, him being the last thing that he would see before he would fall. Max closed his and fell on his face, completely drained.

Aturok watched him fall limp on the ground he wasnt sure if this was merely another trick the human was playing the boy seemed eager to fight and what he has seen so far all humans are that way still holding his ice spear he cautiously poked Max unconcious body with it seeing if he would move "hey.... you dead?"

"Silvian.. Damn it wake up.." Rune cried shaking him wildly and attempting once more to breath air into his lungs. Shara limped up behind rune and placed a hand on his shoulder. "He is gone Rune.. he is with the great spirits now..." Rune refused to believe it and he did it yet again, only this time he tried channeling some electrical energy into Silvian thinking maybe it will jump start his heart. "Rune damn it.. please Silvian is gone.. Aturok tell him!" She pleaded, hating seeing rune desperate to cling on to Silvian's life.

he turned Max over on his back so he could breath then walked over to Rune fighting to save Silvian but thier was nothing to save he could see silvian no longer drew breath and knelt beside Rune and looked at him "im afraid she correct...i see now that the mysteries of life and death hold true in this world as well....he now stands proudly with the ancestors and though his physical body is gone he is still very much with us in spirit and if you listen and look hard enough you may still see him" he placed his hand on runes other shoulder

Rune cried , as he finally gave up and rested his head on Silvians chest, tears of sorrow falling down on his. Rune sent one more electrical spark, only this time it was more out of sadness, that it just came out. It was at that moment, Rune heart lifted and ears perked as Silvian suddenly began to draw breath again. "I.. don't believe it!" Shara said with her hand over her mouth now with surprise and gratefulness. Silvian choked a bit while breathing and the moaned in pain. "..What... Happened..." Silvian asked while Rune quickly held him in his arms gratefully. "You dumb lug.. you were dead.. You could have been gone forever!" Rune cried. Silvian was still rather disorientated and confused, but also in allot of pain.
