End of life.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*Looking back down he noticed the lines upon the ground, seeming to be very insignificant for the most part and White placed a paw upon the ground and the little lines vibrated in the light* "Meh.. probably just some spider's web." *He continued forward and cut into the bushes with his knife and made an opening beyond seeing that it was an open meadow with some rocks that were cut into by some artificial means* "Hmm... seems those rocks are some sort of altar." *He stepped inside the meadow and the bushes behind him regrew and enclosed him inside* "HEY!" *He tried to go back the way he came by slicing the bushes but it seemed to do little to no damage causing his knife to almost bounce off* "Grr... it's like as if there's an invisible forcefield trying to prevent me from retrogressing." "Either this is a trap I have walked into or I'm not being allowed to leave for other reasons.."

*He turned around facing the altar and noticed some steps leading up to a 'basin' and a symbol etched on the rock wall above it that he couldn't quite make out so he walked closer. He walked lightly not so much as leaving an imprint into the ground as he walked up the rocky steps* "Just take it slow..probably best not to do anything hasty in a situation beyond my control." *He reached the basin and looked inside it noticing it was empty and then he looked up at the rock wall that had a symbol he recognized as being the shape of a snowflake* "Woah! That looks like my necklace." *White then looked down at his necklace having not noticed that it had lost its color and seemed to be quite dull in fact he felt like he could even take it off* "I wonder if I could.." *He tugged at the string feeling that it was actually physical for him to grip and he took it in his paws* "There appears to be a bevel to it, perhaps I should place it inside that outline?" *The necklace seemed to vibrate with energy in his paw and it seemed to be positive upon this idea* "Well.. here goes nothing I suppose ." *He moved around the basin and put the snowflake inside the outline finding it sticking to it as if held in the air by an unseen force*

*The ground suddenly shook and the rocks trembled under his feet* "Wh-what is happening?!" *The basin seemed to open up in the bottom from a hole that appeared and it was filling with water until it was full to the very top almost leaking, White turned around to notice it full* "That wasn't there a minute ago.." *He walked up to it and looked inside seeing some words not noticed before in the bottom* "Present thy blade and deliver to thine depths beneath" *White reached into his pocket and opened his knife* "Well.. I don't think I really have a choice in the matter." *He held it above the water and dropped it into the basin seeing it literally go through the bottom where the words laid. The water seemed to twirl and a new message appeared in the bottom* "Entrusting your most precious item to an unknown power, sacrifice gives fair exchange." *A new blade floated to the surface with white handles that appeared to be made of ice and the blade looked a fierce with wavy blends to the design in the center* "Wow... that looks very nice." *He picked it up realizing it was very cold and actually quite heavy and then noticed the necklace was back around his neck* "Uhh... I guess there's not much to say except.. thanks?" *The water seemed to ripple as if it were pleased and slowly the water drained until it was gone, the rocks stopped rumbling and the life of the altar diminished*

[Chrono Blackwyng]

While he was thinking, a voice forced its way into his mind. If you would live again, you could look for the answers again. Chrono didn't know why he reacted that way, but his rage spiked and his strength met it, and then surpassed it. leave, and never speak again, I've never felt closer to the truth when I was alive. But- Silence and begone, one death is enough for this dragon!! the voice in his mind screamed from being forcibly removed and he looked around, his senses telling him that 'Mother was still here, and also watching him, but was it pity or sympathy that she felt, there was so little of it.

He started to calm down, and then started to feel... happy, perhaps even safe."I must look like a mess to you, maybe a saint turned sinner... my real mother would probably have -urk!-" Chrono fell of the seat and then a 'barrier' in the shape of a clock wrapped around him, apparently causing much pain. H-help...I..stil... AUGH! stop with the pain, the sadness, is this punishment?! Chrono coughed up blood as the barrier's energy started to put a rediculous strain on his body and mind, reverting back to his first thoughts on birth. Mother, stop it, I don't want to go away...


Mask felt a few whispers in his ear from Kostil, who then walked away since the sight of his master scarred was too much to not look at. "Well, Dad probably has already ended Feren and three divinities, though scarred by our respective punishments, should be able to at least stall Renkako and Jensuno while Dad and Chrono return to turn the tide." Mask wanted Sicklo to leave her depression, not only would nothing get done due to Kostil and Mask being too young to make their repsective portals, but it was also making him angry, a trait that all three dragon brothers seemed to have inherited from him. "Sicklo, you were never lonely, and don't lie, I felt the same when my brother wasn't even born yet. I'm past my anger towards 'Mother', I.. just..." for the first time in probably all of his life, Kostil had a visible blush, but instead of red, it was white so it could show on his scales. "I...really...like you" Kostil knew that this would be an awkward moment for him the most considering Sicklo is possibly twice or three times as old as himself.

The lynx began to relax a bit as the group introduced themself and he found it only polite to do the same "My names Leo" he said holding out his hand in a friendly mannar, now watching the rabbit. Just somethign about that rabbit keeps telling him to avoid birds... crows? Crows are the only avians that have such an appearance and omen about them that symbolizes ones end... "...Was there a crow when you died?" he asked calmly "I doubt.... er... well I cant say doubt but I know there wouldnt be a crow in the after life..." he said.

[Vosur Aekira]

Ruby had finally left the forest-like terrain from Onea through the portal to Folen, still carrying Daisuke and the shortsword she was given by Howl. She couldn't help but to try to go to the nearest crystalline-star location outside of the one that indicated where she was. "Jensuno, if you're able to hear me... Vosur's run into a bit of trouble and is fighting off someone with unusually-advanced weaponry. Even though he's getting his battle-body back, I doubt he can fight off two warriors like that by himself. I can't use this weapon given to me..." she mutters out, no intended 'direction' to where she was speaking.

Daisuke looks up again to Ruby, somewhat shaken-up due to her running and the way she was holding him in their fleeing. "Wh-who are you talking to? I-I can't see anyone."

"An old friend who can hear very well..." she speaks softly. "Normally you have to say the name to get the attention of someone like this."

Vosur kept his stance, ready to intercept or counter Katar in the effect he should attack again.

[Rygore Anikeria]

Ukko sat down, he had just realized that he had Died and he had just met a group of other dead people in a field with purple skies and blue grass.
"This is crazy..." Ukko said to himself. "I might as well make the best of it."
Ukko stood up and a question popped into his head.
"Uhm... if were dead, where are the other dead people, are there like towns and such?"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

With New Horizon and Void under his domain, Daar decided to make sure that all areas would be scouted besides Folen and Onea, for they would reactly swiftly and strongly towards another Faceless attack.

So, using powers that he had refrained from using for fear of backlash from his 'sister', he turned New Horizon into a hub of portals, all leading to different dimensions and civilizations, none of them are living nor void of existance. He then sent out his Faceless in a heavily divided, slow, yet constant stream through all the portals. Seperated they may be, but once pathways are made, they will begin to notice that 'Mother' is not the only ancient divinity to be wary of.

This he thought to himself as he prepared for an attack centralized on the last location where he saw Jensuno. If nothing dangerous is in the other dimensions, he will have to deal with the rebellious 'children'. If it annoyed his sister, it would be a slight bonus and hopefully she'll stop acting jaded, he truly missed seeing her express herself in ways other than anger...

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt snored lightly, tail flicking in his sleep while Honey stood guard, curled up in his lap... he didnt feel tired, the afterlife meant you needed no sustenance or sleep... but it was good sometimes not to need to think, to think about everything that had happened... but then... when you sleep... you dream.......

~~~~

He was back in his old life.. he was off duty from the firestation, and he was down at the apartment blocks with his mates..... he remembered the lighter that his mate had, just a practical joke, that was all they did.... the rest was blurry... but suddenly he was in a burning apartment, smoke filled the air and he was choking...


~~~~

Kitt woke with a start, coughing for a second, the memories of the thick black smoke still in the forefront of his mind... Shaking his head he looked down to Honey, she looked up and mewed lightly before nuzzling his chest...

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Jaida looked at Ukko. "There are realms. Only four that I know of. I don't think there are towns in the realms but I haven't seen much, just a portion of this one." She responded to the question. "Fights make it difficult to check things out..." She mumbled.
Dwayne just looked from Leo to Asia. He hoped that Leo bringing up the bird situation wouldn't get Asia worked up again.
Both of them were oblivious to the portal opening in the distance and the faceless slowly coming out of it, at the moment.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"There were... no... no birds, no... NO! Don't put birds there, no there were no birds." Asia slammed his paws against his head, whimpering on the verge of screams. "There were only dogs, only dogs there, birds were away i didnt get..." He stopped. Sat on the grass, clawing at his fur.

[Lenay]

Leni was beginning to feel more comfortable with the people, they seemed very relaxed talking to one another, and didn't seem threatening to her at all. Though she imagined that she could spend an eternity searching this world, since she was dead already, and therefor had no need to rush, she still was very eager to know if this place, and to not feel all by herself, sure, there was water, but she also knew that water was not a conscience being, which she could talk to, when she needed to.

But just as she was about to reveal herself one of them began shouting, and slamming his paws against his head, and fearing this conflict, whatever caused it, could end in a physical retaliation of some kind, she decided to better wait and see if he had calmed down, after all, she could've misjudged the group.

[tangletail]

Leo just stood there confused, whats wrong with him? Scared of a few avians? The lynx would ask why he was so scared about them but he held his tounge. Even after death somethings are still a bit personal to know. He scratched his head a bit before nodding, choesing to remain silent.

[Rygore Anikeria]

*Ukko plopped himself down on the blue grass and looked up at the sky, thinking* "Ok, You guys were in a battle not too long ago, correct? What exactly were you fighting against, will it be back, and what do we do now?" Ukko was very quick to ask questions, he disagreed strongly with the "curiosity killed the cat" thing, he believed that the more curious you were, the more questions you would ask, and the more questions you would ask, the more you would know, and the more you know would help you survive and get out of tight situations.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt stroked Honey under her chin, the way she liked it, purring she nuzzled his paw back. Kitt was watching the newcommer with curiousity, but felt no need to join in the conversation, suddenly Honey's ears darted up and she was looking straight into s cluster of rocks and trees, tail twitching frantically...

"what is it hun?"

Before Kitt could even move Honey jumped up, leaping towards the rocks she changed into a feral flaming wildcat, flicking gold fire falling from her fur like mercury... She ran right up to Lenay's hiding place, before changing back into a small fluffy feline with warm golden fur, she mewled happily, attempting to give Lenay a friendly lick to the face, despite Kitt shouting after her to stop chasing shadows....

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Jaida glanced at Honey running off then looked back to Ukko. "Yes. They were...faceless...creatures. They could be back, we don't know since they're not exactly predictable. We're waiting for the night, to meet Jensuno under the ruby tree." She responded, pointing at the ruby tree just a short ways away. "We could be exploring or whatever until then but we haven't really discussed it."
Dwayne knelt down in front of Asia. "Hey, calm down, buddy." He said soothingly, gently grabbing Asia's wrists so he'd stop clawing at himself. "There are no birds. It's not coming back now and we'll help you out if it ever does. You're safe." He smiled reassuringly. Then he looked towards where Honey had ran and sighed. "She's figured out that we've had another newcomer for about as long as these two have been here. I had heard the newcomer but I didn't give them away because they didn't sound threatening." He directed what he said towards everyone since everyone deserved to know.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"It's not a bird. There's no bird." Asia began to calm down, looking up at dwayne he addressed the group. Getting to his feet, he ran at the cat, clamping to him like a limpet.
