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

"Who I am matters you not. I am only hear to assure Zean that you will bother him none. But... I am here for one more reason..." The bear growled a bit as he pointed a finger to the hut. "I want the book!" He said, more of a demand then anything.

Aturok looked at the bear and thn over at the hut "well who woukdent it looks like a good read but sadly ts not yours im afraid therefore you cant have it o powerful one..." he looked back towards the bear

"That is okay...because Ill just take it!" He lifted arm up, and darkness began pouring out from the ground and surrounded the cabin, and destroy it. Soon all that was left was a table, with the book sitting snuggly on top of it. Rune aimed his bow, and then shot a electrical arrow at the Bear who was approaching the table. To Runes surprise, it just bounced off. The bear only laughed as he continued his way to the book, that then became engulfed in darkness but isntead of having the same fate as the cabin, the darkness carried it to the bear.

Aturok ran over and went to grab the book from the air

The bear quickly pulled out a sword and went after Aturok with it. Glade then turned into a massive tiger and went after the bear, but was suddenly stopped as if stuck in glue as shadow and darkness held him down. The same thing went for Aturok, to glue him t the ground as well. These abilities seemed to be child's play to the bear, but even for a Daemon, they were Elite!

Aturok doged the shadows even though it was getting more difficult as he ran towards the bear ready to strike "give the book back!" a dagger formed in his hand its goal was the bears neck

Hardly..." the bear responded, and a bubble formed around him and the book that now rested in his arms. "You might want to go after Silvian... I believe he is playing a game with Zean right about now..." The bear said, as Glade leaped up at him regardless of the shadowy bubble, and the bear simply turned and a shadowy force grabbed Glade by the neck choking him. Rune fell to the ground holding his own neck and coughing trying to breath. "I will be going now kitty..." The bear then through Glade at Rune, who gasped for air but then became winded as Glades heavy body landed on top of him. the bear then walked away. Clearly if the bear wanted to kill them all, he quite possibly could have. But then again.. he killed Silvian who was revived by Rune.

Aturok countinued to run at the bear as he threw the dagger at the back of the bears head withing moments two replace ment daggers formed in his hand he was now right next to the bear ready to strike at him soon as he thought the time was good

Shadowy arms spun out from the ground and wrapped around Aturok, without the Bear even looking at him. He stopped and finally turned to Aturok who was being held. "Must I kill you?..." The bear said as all of the dark energy began to flow through Aturok as if electrocuting him, just like what happened to Silvian, only Silvian had received every ounce of the energy that was taken away from Max. The bear then walked away as it released Aturok. The energy that was used was enough to stun Aturok. Then bear paused. "Be happy.... There wont be a next time, I guarantee it..." At that he walked off and Rune ran to Aturok to help him up.

Aturok looked up at the direction that the bear walked "your right...cause next time we meet you will be dead..." he climbed to his refuseing runes help up as he felt pain throughout his entire body looked smileing off in the direction the bear went

"Are you okay!?" Rune said concerned, worried for Aturoks health. "You know thats suicide.. you cant even summon a golem, how do you expect to take him down on your own? I Suspect that shadow we keep on seeing.. is a Golem... It has to be..." Rune explained. "Wait.. He said something about Silvian.. and... who ever this Zean is... We should go find him.. OH NO.. SHARA and KON went to find him earlier.. I hope there okay!!!?" Rune yelped almost like a squeek.

"yah...im fine...i dont need a golem..i need a strategy..everyone has a weakness.." he looked over at rune looking him over to see if he was injured "lets go find the others make sure they are alright.." he turned and followed rune to go find them

Rune quickly leaped onto Glade, who took off running through the woods. There was smoke rising from the temple, and there was the sounds of blades clashing.

Silvian was fighting sword to sword with Zean him self. Zean who was thought to be gone along with Daemaria, but was in fact a survivor as well. Zean was dressed in red armor. "I am goign to kill you!!" Silvian shouted as he aimed for Zeans chest, but Zean simply and easily out sworded Silvian, and slashed Silvians chest and knocked his sword out from his hands, that landed blade first into the ground. Silvian then fell on his but, and had Zeans sword pointed at Silvians neck. "You do not understand the first thing about what is going on... You and the others. Don't think for a instant that I am your only threat. Cause I will admit, what I will change to this world, will destroy your guardianship and what it means to be a guardian.. But it will bring upon a new Daemaria!!" Zean insisted.

Aturok ran up to them and stopped obseving he crossed his arms he grew tired of fighting and constantly out matched so he was going to sit this one out and play as an observer and watch someone else get thier as kicked and listened to the badguy gloat about inpending doom and such

A blade suddenly reached the back on Aturoks neck. Dameon stood behind him, the betrayer. "You are probably wondering why I turned against you all... But there is only one think I desire now that Daemaria is gone.. and Ill do what ever it takes to help Zean succeed..."

Aturok turned around to face him with his arms still crossed "you know...personally...i dont care im not a guardian like them..this is not my fight...all i know is home is gone and now i must do what i can to live here..so go ahead it can be for money for power of for some greater cause someone promised you but i can promise holding the blade to my neck will get you nowhere"

"The funny thing is, we are only hear to talk. We have no interest in killing our own kind... I hear that the Bear has got the book.. At least his part is done... Maybe if you joined us.. Side with us and Zean... Together we can uncover the truth behind Daemaria... And we can start the Daemarian Empire like it was 10,000 years ago!" Dameon explained. Rune was now beside Aturok. "Empire?! I dont recall any stories about a empire... And even so.. you can go around attacking us all the time... Why would we help you who betrayed your own comrades!?" "I did not betray.. Zean came to me, and I went after the book... On You all stopped me... Zean is my master.. My elder... I will do everything in my power to help him.. But now that we have the book, we are here only for yet another reason... to recruit.. join us! We can defeat the evil king... And begin the reign of the Daemarian Empire... For the new world!"

"well point being your bear came looking for a fight...and much as a temping treat is sounds like it would be...i would like to see a new world but how could we trust you...we cant...you see your not the fisrt one to try to recruit me.."

Rune saw Zeans blade pointed at Silvians neck and quickly ran for Silvian. "Leave him alone!!" Rune shouted and sent a volt of lightning towards Zean. It missed but Dameon saw this and sent a fire ball towards Rune that hit him in the back and Rune fell, some of his fur burned off his back. He turned back towards Aturok. "Perhaps but Zean's way is the only way for a better... I dont know his entire plan, but I do know this.. He can bring Daemaria back...." Dameon explained

"well then stand down...if we know how to get it back why are we fighting?....explain to me sure we have our grudges against eachother we are still the same kind basically brothers why cant we work togeather?"

"Because the method... will require the death of her!" He pointed to Kaylay who was hiding behind a tree, who fallowed them from the cabin. She had woken and witness the entire fight with the bear, and witnessed them taking off into the woods. She felt that she had to fallow.

"well thats a shame....cause not even the return of our home will be worth the life of a inocent im afraid i cant let let you kill her...but i will guide you on to the next life if thats such what you wish.."

"then she is to die of old age!! as is fated for all of us if you would allow it but no you would rather cause more bloodshed...." he backed up to put some distance between them

"Blood Shed! You my have us all wrong.. We are not about blood shed... Zean will lead us to the Great Gates! And that girl... She is the key! Her power can lead to our salvation! We can get rid of Tanar... She can bring back Daemaria!.. She..." Dameon was cut off by Zean, who walked passed Rune, who was trying to stand, burned by Dameons fire. Silvian laid on the ground panting for air. He had never seen Zeans ability to fight, and never realized that he was better then he was. "You are talking to much.. They will never help us... You are just wasting breath... They are too bound by the new ways of Daemaira and know nothing of the old ways and the old Daemarian code.. even you Dameon do not know them..." Zean said rather cruelly. Dameons ears went back against his head as he looked down in respect and perhaps a little bit of a cower. "At least you will learn.. We have to continue... At least if we succeed the ultimate sin that Daemarians had committed will be forgiven.. we will be seen in the light, and the gods shall smile upon us again.. We only came here for one thing... The book... And then I thought I would pay Silvian a bit of a visit.." he turned to Silvian who was now standing up with squeezed fists, that he held so tighly that his own claws cut his own palms, and made them bleed dripping blood to the ground. he looked down, feeling ashamed, but hateful to Zean. "You need alot of practice if you ever want a chance to win fighting me... " He looked back at Dameon and the Bear who had decided to join them with the book. "It is time that we go..." He said and they all started heading off into the woods. Silvian approached Rune with worry. "Are you okay?" he asked. "Nothing a little time for healing wont cure..." Rune responded, feeling the pain in his back. Most of his pain was more swallowed pride, at his beautiful fur that was burnt. He then looked at silvian who had a hand lowered, still bleeding but opened to give Rune a helping hand up onto his feet. "Its okay... When we get back to the cabin, Ill bandage them for you." Rune smiled, but sivlian felt a taken back a bit, as he withdrew hsi hand and looked at them. He had not realized they were bleeding.
