A Spiders Fate-A Negima/GURPS Sub-series

[23:07] <@Dark> Two years to the month after the harsh fighting that had marked the fall of Zanton the Destroyer, a war that is no longer remembered by the world save for the few who faced the front lines, Aria is still living the in the quite isolation she always has.
[23:10] <@Dark> Walking through the trees of the forest that she is calling home at the moment, she is currently picking through an apple tree for food.
[23:13] <Kite> Aria hums as she searches the tree for food ignoring the animals around her.
[23:25] <Kite> Finding an apple Aria sits down on a branch before she begins to eat it.
[23:27] <@Dark> As you eat, you can feel that the forest seems unusually quite today and there is the faint smell of smoke in the air
[23:28] <Kite> Aria begins to look around trying to find out what's happening.
[23:29] <@Dark> You can see nothing save for the odd wisp of smoke to the north and the midday sun
[23:30] <Kite> Aria gets up, apple in hand, to go see what is going on.
[23:32] <@Dark> As you head northward, you can hear the faint sound of clashing metal and fighting coming from the direction of the smoke. You can also recoll that from that direction there had been a road that you saw once when passing through
[23:33] <Kite> Aria begins to sped up her jumps wanting to see what is happening.
[23:36] <@Dark> Landing atop the branch of a nearby tree you see a pair of large human trucks which appeared to have been damaged and stalled in the road. Around the trucks, various figures can be seen fighting one another with various types of weapons from swords to guns. Humans appear to be clashing with unknown creatures with shrivled brown skin and crude weapons. It is unclear which side is winning but already bodies lye motionless in various places
[23:40] <Kite> "What's going on..." Aria says as she shoots at one of the things.
[23:43] <@Dark> The figure takes he blow to the back of the head and stumbules. For a second it seems to wobble before thumping to the ground
[23:46] <@Dark> After a second, the web shot spreads out and slams into the remaining figures, avoiding the humans. The creatures all snarl and spat, their humanoid bodies twitching at the poisons before they all fall still and the humans look around stunned
[23:47] <Kite> "Is everyone okay..." Aria askes hiding her hands before her back.
[23:48] <@Dark> "Most of us" one man says, a strange silver handgun still held in his hand aimed towards one of the creatures which had been attacking him "Did you do that?"
[23:49] <Kite> "....Yes...." Aria says backing away into the tree growth. "Sorry... I arrived too late..."
[23:50] <@Dark> "Hey wait" he calls back "Who are you?"
[23:51] <Kite> "My name... is Aria..." She says while backing furthur away. She now stands right at the range to start jumping away.
[23:51] *** [1]Kite (Kite@1E4CA6DF.950E2E0.7C8F6EBF.IP) joined
[23:52] <@Dark> "Dont worry we wont hurt you" he says "We are in your debt" He nods towards where you see them lifting the wounded back onto the trucks "We would of lost a lot more to those...things"
[23:54] *** Kite quit (Ping timeout)
[23:54] *** [1]Kite changed nick to Kite
[23:54] <Kite> "...You would though..." She says to him.
[23:56] <@Dark> "I dont follow..." he says, placing his gun back into his pocket and holding his hands up. Behind him the last of the of the survivers are checking the vehicles and you see that at least the front one contains a small group of women and children
[23:58] <Kite> With a sigh Aria shows her hand with it glowing purple slightly.
[00:00] <@Dark> He continues looking at you with a confused look "You ok?"
[00:01] <Kite> "You... don't know about me?..." She says lsightly confused.
[00:02] <@Dark> "Should I?" He loweres his arm, casting a look to where one of his companions is moving on of the dead creatures out of the way of the trucks and another is checking the engine
[00:06] <Kite> "Yes..." Aria says confused.
[00:07] <@Dark> "Well mabye you can tell me all about it?" He says as he gestures for you to come back over and turns back to shout a few orders at the people around "You helped us out today"
[00:08] <Kite> "Well... I use to have no control of my power... people died when I stayed with them too long..." She says simply not getting closer.
[00:11] <@Dark> "Really?" he raises an eyebrow and grins slightly "Well you seem to be incontrol of yourself now"
[00:13] <Kite> Aria cocks her head to the side not knowing what to do about this.
[00:14] <@Dark> "Well you can keep your secrets miss, I'm not one to pry" he smiles "But I was wondering if you could give us a hand with somthing?"
[00:16] <Kite> "Sure?" Aria says cautiously jumping down from the tree.
[00:19] <@Dark> "You see these creatures" he gestures towards the dead beasts "They are coming from the mountine west of here and have been raiding a nearby village for a while now. My comrads and I are from the Embessy, hired to head to where they are based and find a way to end the raids. You seem able to hand yourself in a fight and we could do with the help. Of course you will get your share of payment and anything we gain whislt there"
[00:22] <Kite> "I can help you... but you don't have to pay me..." She says to him.
[00:23] <@Dark> "Humor me then" he says "I'm not one to take charity from people without payment"
[00:25] <Kite> Aria nods with a small smile. "I... am at your service then..." She says with a small bow.
[00:26] <@Dark> "Awsome!" He laughs before pointing at the two trucks, making his way to the front one "Take your pick of truck to ride, fronts for the gear backs for the none comabtents who insisted on coming"
[00:28] <Kite> Aria nods before going to the left one.
[00:31] <@Dark> Climbing into the back, the people give you various nods and give thanks for the help you offered. After a moment the truck starts moving and the group is heading off
[00:33] <@Dark> ****END OF SESSION*******

Well. Not gonna say that this is going to be good, but this is going to be good.

[22:45] <@Dark> It takes the convoy you have joined just over a day to reach their destination and you spend most of the time talking as little as you can to those around you, replying only when spoken to and so on.
[22:46] <@Dark> Finally however, there is the sound of loud talking and the man who had invited you to join them pokes his head into the truck "Alright you lot, anyone coming into the cave is to come out now or stay here to get supplies ready for our return"
[22:47] <@Kite> "Shall I go?" Aria asks being use to at this point just listening to what others want.
[22:48] <@Dark> "If you want" He raises any eyebrow "But I think you would be of more us in there then cooking and gathering medical supplies in wait"
[22:49] <@Kite> Aria nods before walking towards the entrance to the cave awaiting furthur directions from him.
[22:50] <@Dark> "Your not on a drill station you know" he says as he slips of a strange black glove which bleeps slightly as he flexes his fingures "Relax a little"
[22:53] <@Kite> Aria nods at his words though she still stands there silently waiting patiently.
[22:55] <@Dark> After about half an hour prepairing, a group of ten men stand before you, their commander walking before them. Then, with slow nods, they all beging to move into the cave and gesture for you to follow
[22:56] <@Dark> "Just move however you feel natural, scout ahead or such if you want. You dont need to move in our formation"
[22:57] <@Kite> Aria nods before walking in and jumping on the ceiling. She looks around a bit before running before them to see if she can spot any danger before they encounter it.
[23:00] <@Dark> jogging ahead, you see a small campfire burning in a larger room leading from the caven, the hunched figures from before walking around it or roasting an animal upon the flames
[23:01] <@Kite> Aria sighes before she points her fingers at the group of them and fires off her Sniper's Sting.
[23:03] <@Dark> The shot hits one in the rear of the head, the creature tumbling to land atop the flames motionless as it starts to brung. Around it, the other beasts turn and begin to snarl, crude weapons held in hand
[23:05] <@Dark> Then, with a loud bang, the wood that had been holding the meat atop the flames is sent flying from spraying web and the rest are struck down, yelping pethetically as they fall
[23:06] <@Kite> "...Sorry..." Aria whispers to herself as she continues to go forward so she can scout a bit. However she stays near enough to the path where the men are so she can make sure they are okay.
[23:09] <@Dark> They seem to be doing fine, saying nothing as they march past the dead you leave beind and slaying a survivor without comment. When you head further you see piles of loot left on the ground from where the creatures have been dumping them and a couple more of them walking away, each carrying crude butcher knives and growing at one another as they walk
[23:11] <@Kite> Aria quickly shoots them down whispering the same apology. afterwards she continues to look around.
[23:16] <@Dark> You find little in the way of traps, the Orcs [yes I'm going to call them that cause I'm playing LOTR and I'm bored of saying creatures] were clearly not expecting to see any trouble
[23:17] <@Kite> Aria continues to look around to eliminate any other threats and make sure any other paths are noted.
[23:18] <@Dark> "Your doing well" the commander of the men nods about time passes and you pass yet another set of Orcs, laughing"We're hardly doing anything back here"
[23:21] <@Kite> Aria laughes at bit at what he says before frowning as she kills off the set of orcs.
[23:22] <@Dark> "Would almost think you were trying to take out jobs" he winks as he aims his glove up and somthing shoots out, striking an Orc in the chest and sending it flying backwards "Ah well, should be nearly there now"
[23:25] <@Kite> Aria nods as she continues to move on ahead to see if any more orcs are ahead.
[23:26] <@Dark> You find yourself standing outside a large oak door which is held shut, gold plating secruing it tighlty in place, blocking th eway on
[23:29] <@Kite> Aria seeing the locks carefully aims and shoots each lock, making sure the web sprays against the wall or ceiling (so it can be more convient for the guys).
[23:29] <@Dark> The webs grip onto the door and make it very sticky...
[23:32] <@Kite> Aria cocks her head to the side slightly confused as to how the locks stood against her attack.
[23:35] <@Dark> "Having fun?" The soldiers grin as they come up behind
[23:36] <@Kite> "Most definetely not..." Aria says as she examines the gold plated locks.
[23:36] <@Dark> They watch you with somthing akin to amused expressions as you do
[23:38] <@Kite> With a sigh that sounds slightly similar to a pout Aria steps away from the lock. "...what to do..." She says to herself as she finally falls from off the ceiling though she twists in the air so she lands on her feet.
[23:39] <@Dark> They continue watching you, a few of their number turning to rummige through the loot the orcs left lying around
[23:40] <@Kite> Taking aim for a corner, though this time aiming for the wood Aria takes fire again to see what happens.
[23:40] <@Dark> The webs hit and start to bubble, the air filing with the scent of magic before vanishing, leaving the door sticky
[23:41] <@Dark> "you know...that things enchanted?" One of the men pipes up helpfully
[23:43] <@Kite> "I noticed.... I had to check though..." Aria says as she continues to look at the door thinking. Finally she sighs saying, "I can't get by...."
[23:45] <@Dark> "Why not ask it nicely?"
[23:46] <@Kite> "...That works...?" Aria says turning to the person who suggested.
[23:48] <@Dark> He just shrugs with a grin
[23:48] <@Kite> Aria turns to the door slightly embarrassed to be tryign this. "...Can you open... please?" She says to the door.
[23:50] <@Dark> "Cirith" someone says behind you and the door groans, slowly beginning to open
[23:50] <@Dark> "Old tongue for open" He winks as you cast him a look
[23:51] <@Kite> Aria sighes though she makes a note to remember the word for later.
[23:53] <@Dark> The door groans for a long second as it swings open before, with a loud flash of light, a bream of green energy flies out and strikes one of the armed men in the chest
[23:54] <@Dark> There is the stench of flayed dust as he goes flying and seems to fade into nothingess agains tthe air
[23:54] <@Kite> Aria quickly turns towards the door to see what is inside.
[23:55] <@Dark> Men curse and swing blades forward as a large Orc moves into fray, a magic sprewing staff gripped tightly in its hands and a glowling purple pendet around his neck
[23:55] <@Dark> "You humies come for a fight!?" The Orc bellows, blasting another man into dust "You come into my home for one!?"
[23:56] <@Kite> Aria quickly aims for and tries to shoot the staff from its hands.
[23:56] <@Dark> The pendet glowes and stops the shot in its track, the Orcs orange face turning towards you
[23:58] <@Dark> "Come on humie!"
[23:58] <@Kite> Aria looks at the orc slightly annoyed before she shoots the ceiling above it.
[00:01] <@Dark> You attack seals across the roof, ready. The Orc however, is now bellowing again as its staff starts to pulse
[00:01] <@Dark> "Aria wait!" the Commander of the men shouts "We need acess to the thing...dont destroy it!"
[00:03] <@Kite> "Access to what...?" Aria says as she watches the orc carefully.
[00:03] <@Dark> "THe bodies...what it carries" He growls, eyeing the Orc as he draws a hidden weapon "Can you pin it down?"
[00:05] <@Kite> "Maybe... but only if it's weakened..." She says as she begisn to jump across the ground dashing around to get behind the orc.
[00:06] <@Dark> "I'll deal with that" He shouts, before charging fowrads. From his hand a flash of light erupts and he is suddenly holding a strange key like shape which glimmers with unknown energy
[00:07] <@Dark> "Whatz dis?" The Orc growls "A key? Bah! Dis is a real weapon!"
[00:07] <@Dark> The Orc raises its staff to aim towards him but he simply flicks the key and a ball of fire strikes the Orc, making it stumble backwards
[00:10] <@Dark> "Now Aria!" He shouts, blasting the orc again to keep it off balance "Pin him so I can finsih it!"
[00:11] <@Kite> Aria nods before she aims for both the arms of the orc. Howeve a pure white silk downs out this time acting as a web as it ties it down.
[00:13] <@Dark> The Orc takes it head on, unable to brink his staff to defend himself in time and is wrapped into place bellowing in rage. Pinned to the ground, the Orc can do nothing to react as the key is brought up to sever its head in a flash of light. Then, silence falls
[00:15] <@Dark> "Well...that was eventful" The man sighs as he checks his surviving men are ok and retracts the key in a poof of light "Damn creature"
[00:21] <@Kite> "..." Aria frowns and looks down before whispering something to herself before she walks towards the open door to check if anything is inside.
[00:22] <@Dark> Its is a grand throne room full of loot of things that the Orc, which was clearly the leader, would have felt important
[00:24] <@Kite> Aria looks around more interested in seeing if the place is safe then for the riches.
[00:24] <@Dark> "I think thats the last of them" the commander calls over "With this guys death the rest of the creatures will be running"
[00:25] <@Kite> "...okay..." Aria says as she walks out of the room.
[00:26] <@Dark> **END OF SESSION*******
[00:26] <@Dark> [lots of dead orcs.]
[00:26] <@Kite> Mission Failed... two men died ):
[00:27] <@Dark> Lol. If you had let them fight there would have been more. i gave you a dozen meatsheilds :P

[16:45] *** Kite changed topic to The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout...
[16:46] *** Dark changed topic to [Down came to blackness and crushed the Spiders heart...]
[16:49] <Dark> It has taken over a day to search the destroyed Goblin camp for the goods they have stolen, the various warriors marching in and out almost constently as they bring them out to their trucks
[16:49] *** Kite changed topic to Out came the sun that chased the dark away... but then it was too late and the spider fades away...
[16:50] <Dark> [heh]
[16:51] <Dark> The civilians that had come with them have set up a camp of sorts outside of the caves enterence, cooking food and setting up some basic tents to provide shelter for those who need it. Here we find Aria, sat on a fallen log on the outskirts of the camp.
[16:52] <@Kite> Sitting there on the log, Aria knits something in her hands with web, not minding it much as she looks around for any signs of danger.
[16:55] <Dark> The camp seems quite content, the soldiers eating soup with freinds as more people exit the cave, carrying the next wave of looted goods
[16:57] <@Kite> Aria smiles continuing to look around while yawning.
[16:57] <Dark> "Tired?" A voice asks behind you and you see the man who had used the strange key shape the day before.
[17:00] <@Kite> "A bit..." Aria says not turning to look at him since she can 'see' him anyways.
[17:01] <Dark> "Good" He grins, sitting beside you without asking "Means your relaxed"
[17:02] <@Kite> "So... now what's going to happen...?" She asks while still weaving something in her hands.
[17:04] <Dark> "We finish gathering the things then take it back to the nearby city and get paid" He shrugs, placing a bowl of soup beside you "Here. Its not the best ever made but it does the job of keeping you warm"
[17:07] <@Kite> "...Thank you..." Aria says while putting the webbing aside so she can eat.
[17:09] <Dark> "So whats your plan?" He asks, munching away at his own bowl
[17:10] <@Kite> "I guess I'll... start wandering again." Aria says shrugging.
[17:11] <Dark> "Why?" He frowns "I still dont get that. WHats with all the lonely traveller stuff?
[17:11] <Dark> "
[17:13] <@Kite> "Well... I have little else to do... but wander... and I don't mind it..." She says after a moment to eat her soup.
[17:14] <Dark> He looks at you for a time before sighing "Is it because of those hands? You were rather shy of them when we first met"
[17:15] <@Kite> "That's... a part of it..." She admits after a while.
[17:18] <Dark> Again he watches you for a time before sighing and pulling somthing out of his pocket, holding out a clenched hand towards you "Here"
[17:20] <@Kite> Aria gives him a puzzled look before letting him drop whatever it is in her hands.
[17:21] <Dark> He drops a small pendent on neck chain, the core of which is a deep purple gem that feels faintly warm to the touch compared to the cold, golden chain
[17:23] <@Kite> "...Thank... you..." Aria finally says after a moment looking the pendant over. After a while she shakes herself back to reality. "Why... are you giving this to me...?"
[17:24] <Dark> "Reasons" He grins "Need any help putting it on?"
[17:26] <@Kite> Aria nods honestly not knowing how to do anything with it.
[17:28] <Dark> Nodding, he stands behind her and places the pendent around her neck before standing back
[17:28] <Dark> As soon as the clasp is attached however...you feel the warm begin to spread across your body, down your arms and towards your hands witch start to itch terribly
[17:30] <@Kite> Aria frowns before looking at him the question of what is happening clear to see in her eyes.
[17:31] <Dark> He simply gives a wink and nods downward
[17:33] <@Kite> Aria looks back at her hands after seeing his nod.
[17:34] <Dark> Looking downward, you see normal hands held in front of you, traces of glow fading from them to leave no trace of the spider like qualities from before
[17:36] <@Kite> Aria is somewhat speechless as she looks at her hands.
[17:37] <Dark> "Cool huh?" He grins "Little pendent I found in the Goblin's loot"
[17:37] <@Kite> "It is..." Aria says with a small smile.
[17:39] <Dark> "Meh, just thought it would help you a little" He shrugs "Mabye get you to be a little more confident before we head out"
[17:40] <@Kite> Aria nods her head at what he says.
[17:41] <Dark> He sighs a little as he looks back towards the camp "Well we will be heading off back first thing in the morning then I need to head back to Trinity. Your welcome to stay or go as you please"
[17:42] <@Kite> "Trinity...?"
[17:46] <Dark> "Yer, thats the group I work for" He flicks his hands as the Key appears in his hand again, holding it up as if its pressence anserws everything
[17:47] <@Kite> "What... is that....?" Aria says not quite getting it.
[17:50] <Dark> "This?" He frowns at you before seeming to realise somthing and smiling "This is a keyblade...sort of a weapon against the darkness if you will excuse the cheesy term. You know the stories about orders of people who fight against the shadows? Thats us"
[17:52] <@Kite> Aria looks on for a moment before frowning. "I kind of... don't know the stories..."
[17:55] <Dark> "Well to put it simply we are an order made to fight against a race of beings known only as the Heartless...creatures born from the blackness within the hearts of men. We fight to destroy them to protect others...but we also like to help out in other tasks too" he grins and nods towards the cave "Gives us a little extra cash"
[17:56] <@Kite> "Okay..." Aria says now understand what he means. "Though... why is it shaped like a key...?" She says pointing to his blade.
[17:58] <Dark> "Well..." he frowns, wondering if he should be saying this before shrugging "Its said that every world has a heart of its own, a place that gives life to all those upon its surfice. The keyblade is the key to the heart of the world, a way to lock it safe from those who seek to corrupt it."
[18:00] <@Kite> "A...heart in a world..." Aria says before something seems to dawn in here eyes for a moment. "I understand..." She syas finally.
[18:03] <Dark> "So yer, thats what we do" he swings the keyblade around and it fades from existance "Neat huh?"
[18:04] <@Kite> "...It is" Aria says finally.
[18:08] <Dark> Again he grins before nodding "Welp I best be going to check on things, come find me if you need anything K?"
[18:09] <@Kite> "Okay..." Aria says before she begins to weave something new trying to get use to how her hands look under the pendant's illusion.
[18:10] <Dark> Nodding again, he turns and walks back into camp huming a song as he goes
[18:10] <Dark> *END OF SESSION*

Once there was a small maiden whose skill was great enough to climb a whirlwind over water. Arrows fell upon her, forcing her to descend. But the essence burning within her set the arrows afire. She answered the arrows' flight with a storm of her own. And the small maiden began to climb the waterspout again.

The maiden became a mother and to one child she said, “I have many things to show you.” And to another, she said, “You may rest within my home, and eat; no need to fly." And to a third, she said, “How beautiful you are.” And as each heard her words and came to the center of her web she ate them.

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

Fuck yeah, Sutras.

[21:34] <@Dark> It is early morning when the camp is finally ready to make tracks back away from the now empty cave. Now two carrages bigger than it was when it had arrived, you are standing beside the trucks as they begin to move, walking alongside a couple of armed guards. The man who you had spoke to the night before (Whose name you have since found out to be Seraph) is walking towards the front of the convoy, discussing the path the trucks should take home.
[21:36] <@Kite> Aria walks along quietly not saying much as she scans the area around herself.
[21:39] <@Dark> "Dont worry" Seraph says as he ends his talk and looks backwards "Those bastards arnt going to be brave enough to attack us now that their leader is dead"
[21:40] <@Kite> "It always helps... to keep on guard..." She says back as she continues to look around.
[21:42] <@Dark> "Nevous little gal arnt ya?"
[21:43] <@Kite> Aria says nothing back at his response.
[21:45] <@Dark> He shrugs after a time and looks back at the trucks "We will be back in the village in about an hour, then I'm heading streight to Trinty via teleport. This lot are staying to do the unpacking"
[21:48] <@Kite> "Okay..." She says to him.
[21:52] <@Dark> "You just going to vanish off into the woods again Mrs. Mystery?"
[21:52] <@Kite> "Maybe..." Aria says with a shrug.
[21:56] <@Dark> "Well why not come with me to Trinty? You've got some fighting skills that I think may be of use to us and I also think that neckless may have other propoties"
[21:58] <@Kite> Aria thinks on it a while before nodding. "...I guess..."
[22:01] *** [1]Kite (Kite@sux-C65DE4EA.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) joined
[22:01] *** Kite quit (Ping timeout)
[22:01] *** [1]Kite changed nick to Kite
[22:02] <@Dark> "Up to you like" He shrugs "Just think it might be better than hiding in the forest again"
[22:06] <Kite> Aria shrugs as she continues to walk along the caravan.
[22:08] <@Dark> "Oh come on" He chuckles "Cheer up a little will ya. Not gonna get far in Trinity if you carnt have a laugh"
[22:09] <Kite> Aria looks at him with a blank expression not understanding how laughing a lot would help you increase in rank.
[22:11] <@Dark> Seeing your confusion he only laughs more, a proper belly laugh that seems to infect a couple of the people walking by, despite them not know what it was about. Then, he gives you a freindly slap on the back and jogs ahead to where the driver of the head truck is calling to him, laughing as he goes
[22:15] <@Dark> ***TIME SKIP*****
[22:34] <@Dark> By mid day, the convoy has arrived in the village and there was much rejoicing. From what you see however, Seraph barely waits to see the trucks arrive into the boundries of the village before detaching himelf form the group and heading towards the forest, singing a drinking song to himself for some reason.
[22:36] <Kite> Aria follows after him quietly.
[22:37] <@Dark> "Was wondering if you would follow" he calls out, not looking back at you as he keeps walking
[22:38] <Kite> Aria says nothing as she walks a little faster so she can keep up with him.
[22:42] <@Dark> He walks you into a large open space where he stops and spins around, clicking his heels together with a grin "Well then. Ready for some fun?"
[22:42] <Kite> "Sure..?" She says to him.
[22:44] <@Dark> He simply laughs before pulling out somthing that looks like a T.V. control and holding out a hand "lets go then, my favourite anime is on tonight and I forgot to set it to record"
[22:45] <Kite> Aria goes to him before relunctantly taking his hand.
[22:48] <@Dark> "Leroy!" He randomly shouts and clicks a button on the control. In a flash of light everything around you seems to disintergrate and reform into an utterly diffrent place. A white control room full of bleeping lights and a pair of women in lab coats who both look up towards you with raised eyebrows
[22:48] <@Dark> "Ladies" Seraph calls out, arms outstreatching "I'm home!"
[22:49] <Kite> Aria says nothing as she immediately starts to look around.
[22:52] <@Dark> Massive dials and thingymagics [Yes that is a tecnichal term] hang upon the walls and wire of various colours and sizes run from the teleportation machine you had been standing on into a hole in the wall. In contrast to the forest and orcs you have been fighting lately, this feels like a sudden lunge into the future
[22:54] <Kite> Aria continues to look around apparantly slightly distressed at the unfamiliarity of the place.
[22:56] <@Dark> "Girls" Seraph says "This is Aria, she is here as my guest today"
[22:56] <@Dark> The girls nod and say their greeting to you before turning and heading back to the controls, telling Seraph somthing about a man named "Karm" getting into trouble again in some other world and needing them to send a Pokémon to help him.
[22:57] <@Dark> Laughing at that, Seraph gestures for you to follow as he heads for the door.
[22:59] <Kite> Aria follows after looking around everywhere to get an idea of the place.
[23:10] <Kite> "This is Trinity?" Aria says as she continues to follow after Seraph.
[23:10] <@Dark> Walking through a vast amount of corridors and rooms, you find that Trinity contains a variaty of species all living in unision. Creatures that look like animals mixed with humans work alongside normal humans who bare strange traits, best of freinds desipte being so diffrent
[23:10] <@Dark> "indeed it is. Head of the Keybladers"
[23:13] <Kite> "It looks... lively..."
[23:14] <@Dark> "Well there is never a boring day" He laughs "I mean, our great esteemed leader is a 3 foot tall mouse"
[23:14] <Kite> "A... mouse?"
[23:20] <@Dark> "Yup" he holds his hand down to show the right height "Little guy this height, really high pitched voice and ears big, round and flat enough to eat your dinner as a plate"
[23:21] <Kite> Aria laughes a bit at the mental image though she says nothing else.
[23:26] <@Dark> "So, want to have a rest or shall we head stright down to get you regesterd?"
[23:27] <Kite> "I'm not tired... so let's go..." She says after a short pause.
[23:28] <@Dark> "Very well" he nods, turning to lead you away as he starts humming, nodding to a strange duck creature that woddles past you towards the teleport room
[23:32] <Kite> Aria follows after slightly confused at the sight of the duck.
[23:35] <@Dark> "Oh dont mind him. You will see far stragner things in your time here"
[23:35] <@Dark> THe duck gives you both an irritated look before vanishing into the teleport room
[23:37] <Kite> Aria looks at where the duck was before shrugging.
[23:40] <@Dark> Grinning at your reaction, he leads you onwards into the centre of Trinity.
[23:41] <@Dark> ********END OF SESSION*****

[21:01] <Dark> Trinity, you quickly come to realise, is a very strange place...
[21:15] <Dark> You managed to gain this deep insight by the fact that, in every direction you look as you walk down towards the main hub of their base, you can see creatures of all shapes and sizes, all races and species, working as one in a way that wouldnt have look out of place in a work based commedy show
[21:17] <Dark> To your left you can see strange rat like creatures carry tubes of metal and paper down the corridors and to your right you see a strange machine that looks like it has enough firepower to murder a city walking around with a hoover
[21:18] <Dark> Your also pretty sure you saw Walso at one point...
[21:18] <Dark> Waldo*
[21:19] <Dark> "Little quiet today" Seraph thinks out loud as you walk
[21:21] <@Kite> "It seems very... lively to be..." Aria says as she continues to look around at the strange (to her) sights.
[21:22] <Dark> "Lively?" he laughs "Naw, Lively is when the lab goes boom in a giant pink cloud of smoke due to a scientist sneezing at the wrong time"
[21:24] <@Kite> Aria says nothing not really getting how any one enjoys an explosion of anything... though she can see it getting much more lively.
[21:25] <Dark> He just keeps laughing as he goes "Mind you...that was no where near as scary as the Karioki night..."
[21:27] <@Kite> Aria say nothing not really knowing what that is.
[21:30] <Dark> "Ah come on" He says, seeing your quietness "Only trying to have a little fun" He does however, fall silent as he continues to lead you down the corridor
[21:32] <@Kite> "...Sorry..."
[21:33] <Dark> "Ah dont worry about it. Your just not a very talkative person aaaand, I am" He shrugs before you come up to a door that seems to have been split in two with a tiny door attached to the bottom for smaller creatures to use "Here we are"
[21:34] <Dark> He dosent pause to knock as he pushes the door open and marches in, declaring his arrival much to the apparent irritation of the woman sat behind the counter
[21:34] <@Kite> Aria walks in after him giving an apology to the lady.
[21:35] <Dark> "And who is this?" She smiles as she sees you, using you as a way to stop Seraph from talking
[21:36] <@Kite> "My name is Aria... Aria Widows..." Aria says politely with a small bow.
[21:38] <Dark> "Pleased to meet you" She smiles "My name is Miyazaki. What brings you down to our little courner of insanty named an organization?"
[21:39] <@Kite> Aria points at Seraph before speaking. "He... recommended for me to come here..."
[21:40] <Dark> "Oh really?" she raises an eyebrow "And I assume you completed your mission?"
[21:40] <Dark> "Yup!" Seraph shouts "All done in record time thanks to this one here"
[21:41] <Dark> Miyazaki is silent for a moment
[21:41] <Dark> "Yes" Seraph sighs after a moment "I'll take the loot back to the boss after this..."
[21:41] <Dark> "Better"
[21:42] <@Kite> Aria looks on trying not to look confused.
[21:42] <Dark> "Anyway" Seraph says, changing the topic "I thought that Aria here might be a good candidate for initiation"
[21:43] <Dark> "Wha?" Miyazaki blinks "Seriously?"
[21:44] <Dark> "Yup. Shes a good fighter and, from what I've seen at least, has a good heart to her. She may be able to get one of those regect keys to activate"
[21:45] <Dark> Sighing, Miyazaki turns back towards you "Dont suppose he even bothered to mention any of this to you did he?"
[21:45] <@Kite> "...No..."
[21:47] <Dark> "Thought not" She rolls her eyes "Basically, hes suggesting that you take a...test, to join this orginization. We have been looking for new members after an...incident at a place named Hollowed Bastion and to be honest...our keyblades have begun to accept less and less people as their weilders..."
[21:48] <@Kite> "...How come?" Aria asks quiet curiously while she notes the name Hallow Bastion to ask about it later.
[21:49] <Dark> "We dont know...its just like their lossing their power. We carnt understand why at all..."
[21:50] <@Kite> Aria says nothing not knowing what to say about that.
[21:51] <Dark> "But yer. There is no real way of determining for sure if someone can awaken a keyblade unless they pass the test"
[21:52] <@Kite> "Ah..." Aria says seeing the problem.
[21:53] <Dark> "Its not an...easy test I'll say now but would you be interested into looking into it? Even if the keyblade regects you passing the test ensures you a place here"
[21:55] <@Kite> "...Okay..." Aria says after a moment of thinking.
[21:56] <Dark> Smiling Miazaki nods "Very well then. I shall take you down there now if you want?"
[21:56] <@Kite> "I'm ready..." Aria says not one for putting things to do later.
[21:57] <Dark> She slowly stands "You sure? Its a pretty, mental test"
[21:59] <@Kite> "...I'm not one for backing down..."
[22:00] <Dark> "A trait you will need" She nods before giving Seraph a dismissive nod and leading you to a door at the back of the room "To be honest though, we like to keep the test room to hand"
[22:01] <Dark> Opening the door, you find a great chamber behind a metal wall that seems to shimmer as if made of water
[22:02] <@Kite> "...So do I just... walk in?"
[22:03] <Dark> "Try and keep you mind clear for a moment" She says as she opens a small door in the liqud like wall "I'm going to be watching you from the main control room, enter when you feel ready. I'm afread you can not leave this room until the test is complete but I will end it if you get...too strained"
[22:04] <Dark> With a final nod of goodluck, she turns and leaves you, heading up some stairs that shut behind a wall behind her
[22:05] <@Kite> Aria takes a breathe in before walking forward.
[22:08] <Dark> Steping into the room, the liquid wall starts to bubble as it closes the gap behind you, sealing you in before, with a loud thump...everything goes black.
[22:09] <Dark> As you stand in the nothingness, you can feel the very floor beneath you begin to shudder and liquify before you being to sink into its embrace. The ground turns to air and you fall, fall down and down into a crushing oblivion that seems to go on for ever
[22:10] <@Kite> Aria looks down trying to see anything as she falls through the darkness.
[22:10] <Dark> Further and further into ths abyss. You feel no air, no wind or turbalence, just the horrific sensation of falling at both impossibly slow and impossibly fast, downwards, upwards, sideways all at once
[22:11] <Dark> Seconds seem to pass in hours and hours seem to pass in seconds and your heart seems to shudder and bend around itself in the blackness
[22:13] <Dark> *Can you find the light* a whisp of ghostly wind seems to whisper at the very edge of your mind...
[22:16] <@Kite> "Those that can only be comforted... by seeing the light are doomed to always be afraid... for they lack the strength to see their light inside... the light that shines the path before..." Aria says as she continues to fall.
[22:18] <Dark> *The light within is what must be found. Arrogance hides that*
[22:20] <@Kite> "...Then... give me the chance... to show I can find my own light..." Aria says as she continues to fall through the nothingness.
[22:20] <Dark> *You have always had the chance. Yet you hide within yourself*
[22:22] <@Kite> "...I have... I'm not... a very out going person... talking to people... scares me... I don't like being judged..."
[22:22] <Dark> *why?* the wind coos
[22:24] <@Kite> "Because... I... made a mistake... and I got my two best friends killed... and... I don't want that to happen to others... I don't want to lose control again... I know that the person who always judged me most was myself... but still..."
[22:26] <Dark> *You clink to the path of self torment*
[22:26] <Dark> *yet you deny those who face the same path*
[22:27] <@Kite> "I... deny them...?"
[22:28] <Dark> The voice is silent
[22:29] <@Kite> "Please... don't fall silent... I want to know...what you mean... can you please show me?" She says out to the voice hoping for an answer.
[22:30] <Dark> There is no anserw again but you start to feel wind blowing around your body, seeming to singal that your fall is now souly downward and very, very fast
[22:47] <Dark> Looking downward, you see a speck of light that seems to shimmer beyond reach before, with a hiss of air, it suddenly begins to speed upwards, or rather your fall takes up plummeting down towards it, or mabye both. Either way, the speed with which it rises to meet you it terrifying
[22:48] <Dark> At the last moment of impact however, you suddenly seem to stop falling and your body spins in the air, briging you to land on your feet atop of what you can see to be a somthing akin to a circuler stain-glass window surrounded by nothing but oblivion
[22:49] <Dark> The glass beneath you bares the image of a great brown spider standing atop a purple flower
[22:50] <Dark> *So much to do...so little time*
[22:51] <Dark> *Take your time, dont be afread*
[22:51] <Dark> *The door is still shut...*
[22:52] <@Kite> "What... what must I do...?" Aria says looking around.
[22:53] <Dark> *Can you step into the light?*
[22:54] <@Kite> "i can't give... a garuntee... but I can try..." Aria says as she looks down towards the stained glass.
[22:55] <Dark> The brown glass seems to shimmer and beam of light appears at the tip its mouth, a blinding stream of light that reaches into the abyss above
[22:56] <@Kite> Aria walks forward hesitating a bit before she steps insto the pillar of light to see what happens.
[22:57] <Dark> You feel a deep warmth spread across you and a low rumble echos as the voice whispers again
[22:58] <Dark> *You hold the streignth within to face against your own fears*
[22:58] <Dark> *But you must find the will to make it manifest...*
[22:59] <@Kite> "I'll try..." Aria says to the voice waiting for what comes next.
[23:00] <Dark> *There is no try in the war within...you must find the will to hold to your belifes...or fall to others*
[23:01] <@Kite> "..Then I'll do it!" Aria says before she says a small apology having said it a bit more forcefully then she planned to.
[23:01] <Dark> A low rumble echoes as three alters rise from the glass around you, each baring deep carvings of spiders and webs. Upon one is a floating sheild, upon the other a sword and the thrid a curved staff that emits tinges of magical power.
[23:02] <Dark> *Then show it. Show what you view as important...freinds or power, trickery or truthfullness. Your heart must be made manifest. THe power sleeps within you...choose well*
[23:04] <@Kite> Aria walks forward so she can get a closer look at each. "What does each... mean?"
[23:06] <Dark> *three paths lie ope. The power of the warrior bares Invinvible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. The power to destroy those who threaten...*
[23:07] <Dark> *The path of the Guardian. The Kindess to aid freinds. A sheild to repel their fears...*
[23:07] <Dark> *the path of the mage. The path of hidden and great power to do both. But the power to fall further to the night...*
[23:09] <Dark> *Choose well*
[23:11] <@Kite> Aria looks around before frowning. "I want to be able... to chase away threats... but I also want the power to reassure those I care for... if putting myself in danger is the way to get both... then I'll gladly take it..." Aria says before she walks towards the staff and taking it.
[23:13] <Dark> As you hand grips the staff, the world around you grows cold and the other two pillers seem to crumble as if gripped by a sudden and terrible decay. The spider carving fall into ruin and the stone crumbles to dust.
[23:13] <Dark> The staff glows hot in your hand as shadows spread across the spider like glass floor, the sea of oblivion spreadin across everything you see until you stand in a small ring of light.
[23:14] <@Kite> Aria grips the staff harder not wanting it to fade away into oblivion like the other two.
[23:15] <Dark> *To chose a path is to set others against you. To chose a path is to gain freinds. To chose a path...seals your road forwards and faces you towards your trials...*
[23:17] <Dark> All around you, the terrible sound of clicking and hissing begins to echo across the very air as the groun begins to shift and groan. Fromt the nothing rise black figures, hunched and shirivled and constently twitching as if caught in a perminant fit of agony. Yellow needle like eyes blink into awakfulness and do not blink again as the air towards you and, with a pang of fear, you recognise the unmistakable shapes of Heartless beginning to close in*
[23:18] <Dark> *You have seen the shadows before...but you have not yet truly faced them...*
[23:20] <@Kite> Aria watches the shadows carefully not knowing what to do. Before they had done nothing to harm her though she never liked them either. They always seemed so empty... watching her every movemenet and always looking ready to strike.
[23:21] <Dark> Compared to the Heartless you saw under the command of Conjack Darkright, these Heartless look almost pathetic. Small and shirvled and constently twitching as they move forwards
[23:23] <Dark> They seemed to wait for a moment before, upon your hesitation, they lunge into the air towards you
[23:30] <@Kite> Aria jumpss into the air before flipping backwards to avoid the shadows. She lands it before looking at the shadows.
[23:32] <Dark> The Shadows echo a loud chours of clicking as they turn back towards your, the heads twitching to the side with such violence that they should have snapped their necks. Hissing they start to come towards you again
[23:32] <Dark> *The fears will not stop coming, no matter how long you avoid...*
[23:33] <@Kite> "Then... i'll fight..." Aria says before bracing against the ground and jumping up before bringing the staff down on one of the shadows.
[23:35] <Dark> As the staff strikes against the Shadow, it evaporates into smoke, its body becoming nothing more than black fog on the air...
[23:36] <Dark> At sight of their comrads fall, the other two seem to sink into the ground, becoming nothing more than puddels of dark upon the ground as they shoot beneath your legs and lung out towards your back
[23:39] <Dark> As the Shadow's talons strike against you, they pass through your body like smoke, leaving no mark or scar upon your body. However, at their ghostly touch you feel a wave of despair take you as images from your most feared memories and dreams explode across your mind
[23:40] <@Kite> Aria lets out a small scream before she jumps as far away from the shadows as she can get small tears in her eyes.
[23:41] <Dark> The Shadows hiss and whisper to one enough, watching you go as they click their talons against the ground, advancing again
[23:43] <@Kite> Aria Jumps towards the shadows again though instead of soaring through the sky like she normally does the pain in her back grounds her into the darkness on the ground.
[23:43] <Dark> *Your own fears are your greatest shadows...*
[23:44] <Dark> *Your heart is a battleground...one you must fight for everyday*
[23:45] <Dark> The Shadows hiss as the again advance towards you, talons raised
[23:47] <@Kite> Aria says nothing as she tries to force herself to her feet to move.
[23:49] <Dark> Jumping to the side, you manage to barely dodge the first Shadow but the second strikes you across the chest. As its hand passes through you it seems to grip your heart and, with a surge of cold that feels like agony, your mind explodes into a lifetime of fears and hurt.
[23:50] <Dark> You crumble to the ground screaming as your body convluges and the Shadows begin to creep towards you, talons ready.
[23:51] <Dark> "Crap" you hear Miazaki's voice echo "Stop the test now!"
[23:51] <Dark> The shadows keep coming
[23:51] <Dark> "What do you mean you carnt?! How can something be interf..."
[23:52] <Dark> What ever else is said is lost to you as somthing seems to shimmer across your mind and the Shadows pause in their advance, stairing at somthing on you. As you look down you see the pendent Seraph gave you glowing a deep purple light
[23:55] <Dark> *Shadows hide within your very soul, Aira Widow* the voice echoes *The greatest of our pains hides within the debths of your hearts...hearts that if left unnutured...succum...*
[23:56] <Dark> Slowly, the voice seems to shudder, mutate and morph into somthing terrible yet all too familier... *If left to fester...all fears lead to the heart's fall. A fall...into Darkness]
[23:57] <Dark> With a sudden wave of shadows, the pendent around your neck explodes and everything turns to black around you.
[23:57] <Dark> The whole of Trinity echoes with the roar of an unleashed god...
[23:57] <Dark> *******END OF SESSION********

[21:13] <Dark> Nothing.
[21:13] <Dark> All around you, in every sense of reality that you can feel there is nothing.
[21:14] <Dark> Drifting in the oblivion that has taken you, you feel the soft kiss of cold spreading over you but feel no sense of time of life. Hearing nothing, feeling nothing...knowing nothing.
[21:15] <Dark> "Aria..."
[21:15] <Dark> The voice whispers across the void, whispering towards you and life flickers back around you. Your eyes struggle to open to a burst of light and a blurry figure leaning over you, shaking your shoulders
[21:15] <Dark> "Aria...wake up"
[21:16] <Dark> You feel comfy all of a sudden and unwilling to open your eyes, wanting the bliss of the shadows.
[21:16] <Dark> "Aria! Hey!"
[21:17] <@Kite> "Hm?" Aria says half asleep and half awake.
[21:18] <Dark> "Come on Aria" The voice of a boy says as he shakes you again. It sounds strangely familier yet you know not where from "Its time to wake up"
[21:20] <@Kite> "I don't want to..." Aria says trying to go back to sleep.
[21:21] <Dark> "Come on" You are shaken again "Wake up now or I'm leaving"
[21:22] <@Kite> "...Okay..." Aria says as she tries to open her eyes so she can see the person.
[21:24] <Dark> As you open your eyes, the sudden fall of light causes your vision to go blurry and lost to sight. The boy takes a step back as you sit ip and rub your eyes back into focus "Thats better"
[21:25] <@Kite> Aria turns towards the boy to see how he is now that she can actually see soemthing.
[21:26] <Dark> Standing in the centre of a room built of wood, Devance smiles down at your tired expression "Welcome back to the land of the living there sleepy head"
[21:28] <@Kite> Aria gets up in slight shock before calming down a bit. "Wait... didn't you kind of...? So doesn't that mean... I'm dead...?"
[21:29] <Dark> "Dead?" He frowns "What do you mean? Have a bad dream?"
[21:32] <@Kite> "I guess so..." Aria says looking around.
[21:37] <Dark> The room is made from fine wood that spreads across the floor, walls and roof alike. Webs you recognise as being of your own creation hang in various points of convineace where they hang up items and the like. A quick look out of the window reveals you to be stood in a large treehouse of sorts within a tree that stands at the centre of the village you instently recognise as Floramella Town.
[21:37] <Dark> "Hey...you alright there Aria?"
[21:58] <@Kite> "A bit... confused..." Aria admits before smiling. "But I'm okay..."
[22:00] <Dark> "Good" he calls before turning and heading to the door, decending down a ladder into the village below "Come on then, we have jobs to do"
[22:04] <@Kite> "Okay..." Aria says before following him down the ladder.
[22:08] <Dark> The village is exactly how you remembered it, familier faces walking around their various jobs and lives. Many however, nod their greeting to you as they walk back, bidding you a good morning as 'Daniel' begins to walk off without another word
[22:11] <@Kite> "This is amazing..." Aria says as she takes her time looking around the town. "Was all of that... just a dream?"
[22:11] <Dark> "All of what?" Daniel asks, tilting his head to fix you with an eyes as she goes
[22:13] <@Kite> "Oh... its nothing..." Aria says to him trying to wave it off.
[22:14] <Dark> "You acting weird" He chuckles slightly
[22:16] <@Kite> "Well... you're always wierd." Aria says sticking her tounge out at him.
[22:17] <Dark> He igives a laugh before turning a corner and walking up to a large butcher shop "Come on then, Dad's got a job for us"
[22:18] <@Kite> "Okay." Aria says before following him.
[22:20] <Dark> as you enter, you can see his father standing in the rear of the shop, a large meat cleaver in his hand as he chops into a meat before providing it to a customer and turning to you, bringing his cleaver down into the wodden chopping board as he see you
[22:20] <Dark> "Hey dad"
[22:21] <Dark> "Devance" he nods, his face not giving emotion "Finally up I see there Aria"
[22:24] <@Kite> "Sorry about that..."
[22:28] <Dark> He simply shrugs before turning and tossing you a bag "You know what to do right kid? Got orders for two rabbits for tomorrow"
[22:35] <Dark> ***SESSION PAUSED FOR TECHNICAL ISSUES*****
[22:49] <Dark> **WE NOW RETURN WITH CONFUSION*******
[22:50] <Dark> "I need you to go out and get me two rabbits from the woods outside of town" The butcher grunts, turning back to his work "Good for you?"
[22:52] <@Kite> "Okay..." Aria says with a smile. "Let's go Daniel..." Aria says with a smile.
[22:53] <Dark> "Errr...yer sure" Daniel nods before following
[22:56] <@Kite> Aria quickly leaves the place smiling all the while though in her head things are a bit chaotic.
[22:59] <Dark> The forest spreads around the edge of the village, a thin outgrowth of trees and plant life that grows thicker and thicker deeper until it becomes an abyss of twisting trees.
[22:59] <Dark> "We should stick to the outskirts "Daniel says as you begin walking through the few trees nearby "Its not safe deeper in..."
[23:00] <@Kite> "But... don't you remember...? You like moving through the thick parts of the forest..." Aria says quietly though she does what he says.
[23:02] <Dark> "Huh?" He blinks before shaking his head "Mabye once Aria...dont you remember the warnings?"
[23:03] <@Kite> "Not really..." Aria says bashfully.
[23:05] <Dark> "Its dangerous out there now Aria..." He mutters, refusing to look into the trees "People go in there and dont come back...like their eaten by the shadows"
[23:08] <@Kite> "...Okay something isn't right..."
[23:09] <@Kite> with that Aria begins to walk closer to the edge of the trees to try and see into them.
[23:12] <Dark> Gazing into the trees, you begin to feel your mind aching as the path seems to morph and bend before you eyes. You feel like the shadows are growing and every atom in your body pleads for you to turn away
[23:13] <Dark> "Aria!" Daniel suddenly pulls you back, pulling you from the trance "Keep away from there!"
[23:16] <@Kite> "Something... isn't right here... this isn't the Floramella Town I know..." Aria says before looking Daniel in the eye. "What's going on...?"
[23:18] <Dark> "Going on?" he frows "What are you on about?"
[23:19] <@Kite> With that Aria frowns before biting her finger as hard as she can.
[23:20] <Dark> You feel a serious sting of pain and Daniel hangs your hand away from your mouth "What the hell!? What is wrong with you this morning?"
[23:22] <@Kite> Aria holds back a tear from biting her hand before taking her hand from Daniel. "I hate this... couldn't they at least recreate it all right..."
[23:25] <Dark> "Recreate?" He blinks "Aria...your scaring me here..."
[23:26] <@Kite> With that remark Aria actively frowns. "You're... not Daniel are you...?"
[23:28] <Dark> "Of course I'm Danial. I'm your freind Aria...I've just never seen you like this"
[23:30] <@Kite> With a frown Aria takes a step from him. "You... you promise that you'd never be afraid of me... that nothing I could ever do woulld scare you... and the Daniel I know never breaks a promise."
[23:31] <Dark> "I'm not breaking my promise" he says, holding his hands up defensivly "But your not making any sense Aria...you've never been like this before..."
[23:33] <@Kite> "No... I'm just being who I've always been... you.. no this whole town is what's different." Aria says before she begins to run towards where she remembers the leader's house was.
[23:34] <Dark> "Aria!" he calls after you, making an attempt to follow but proving unable to keep up
[23:35] <@Kite> 'What is going on here?' Aria says to herself as she continues to move as quickly as her legs can take her.
[23:36] <Dark> The leaders house stands exactly where it always has, the structure untouched by any time you would have expected to pass
[23:37] <@Kite> Aria takes a moment to catch her breathe before reaching to knock on the door. However she then berates herself and decides to just look through the door.
[23:39] <Dark> You see no one inside, but the corridoor looks right
[23:39] <@Kite> Aria begins to move around the house to see inside from every possible angle looking especially for what is suppose to be Daniel's room.
[23:41] <Dark> Everywhere seems right save for Daniel's room, which is now a study for the town leader to plan improvments and events for the village as a hole.
[23:44] <@Kite> "This is all... confusing..." Aria says as she takes a seat by the wall. "Okay so the forest is different... people I don't know randomly appeared, and Daniel suddenly has a dad..." Aria says to herself. "What is going on... what am I missing...? Or am I just going crazy?" Aria says as she takes a look at herself in a mirror (that she sees through a wall).
[23:46] <Dark> You see a younger version of yourself looking back. Happier with well groomed hair and clothes. Clean and fresh with youth and happier times
[23:47] <@Kite> Aria smiles slightly before shaking her head. "This isn't the town I know..." She says turning away from the mirror. "I don't know what's truth..." With that Aria knocks herself across the head.
[23:48] <@Kite> "Daniel can see the truth in anything... maybe he can explain this to me..." Aria says before sighing and going back to look for him.
[23:50] <Dark> You find him near where you had left him, stringing two dead rabbits into a bag and muttering somthing under his breath with a worried expression
[23:51] <@Kite> "Daniel...?" Aria says slightly worried he'll kind of ignore her.
[23:52] <Dark> "Your back then huh?" He raises an eyebrow at you, swinging the bag over his back
[23:53] <@Kite> "Sorry about leaving you... I'm kind of confused..." Aria admits with a frown.
[23:54] <Dark> "I gathered that much" he grunts "Gonna tell me whats wrong yet?"
[23:56] <@Kite> "It's like I lived a whole life... and then suddenly got put back here... and now i kind tell anything anymore what's truth or not... and it's kind of fustrating..."
[23:57] <Dark> "...the hell kind of dream did you have last night"
[23:59] <@Kite> "...I'm not sure..." Aria says with a sigh. "It feelsl ike it went on for seven years... I was battling beside these other guys... and we had to save the world... and then after some kid of test I wake up here and I'm not making any sense!"
[00:00] <Dark> "...ok...I'll admit thats a new one"
[00:02] <@Kite> "So... I need your help..." Aria says looking Daniel right in the eye. "Can you show me what's real?"
[00:02] <Dark> "Errr..." he frows before gesturing to the town behind you "Seems real enough right?"
[00:04] <@Kite> "I need this... please...?" Aria says with a frown.
[00:05] <Dark> "What do you want me to say?" He asks, placing a hand on your shoulder "See? I'm here" He picks a flower from the ground and holds it up to you "Floramella Town is here"
[00:08] <@Kite> "But I can't tell... nothing makes sense to me right now..." Aria says holding back tears. "Please... I know you can make me see the truth and you know it too...so please?"
[00:11] <Dark> "Hey" He places a hand on both sholders and holds you steady "Look me in the eyes Aria. You see anything fake about me?"
[00:12] <@Kite> Aria looks him right in the eye still frowning.
[00:12] <Dark> He looks back at you with blue eyes, his expression on of confusion
[00:14] <@Kite> Aria takes a moment to calm down before saying, "I don't see anything fake..."
[00:15] <Dark> "See?" he gives a grin before letting go and turning "Now lets get these rabbits back to dad yer?"
[00:16] <@Kite> "Okay..." Aria says waiting for him to go though quickly taking a look through the trees before going (someone easy to do without him noticing since she doesn't have to turn her head.).
[00:17] <Dark> Again you get a terrible sense of forbodding from the forest yet, in the furthest part of your sight you catch the glimpse of a light flicking before vanishing in the shadows of the forest
[00:18] <@Kite> Aria continues to look for signs of that light even as she walks away with Daniel.
[00:19] <Dark> the light flickers in every now and then, as if calling to you before vanishing as soon as you are able to focus on it.
[00:19] <Dark> "Keep up Aria" Dnaiel calls over as he begins to jog back to the village
[00:20] <@Kite> Aria turns away from Daniel finally before she begins to walk back towards where she has been seeing the light, "Go on without me... I have one more thing I have to do."
[00:21] <Dark> "Aria!" He shouts, turning back towards you "Come on!"
[00:22] <@Kite> Aria continues to look into the darkness searching for the light.
[00:22] <Dark> "Aria!" Daniel is heading back towards you now whilst the shadows seem to bubble under your sight
[00:23] <@Kite> Aria continues to look around for that glimmer of light.
[00:24] <Dark> "Aria!" The shouts seem to be getting despirate now "Keep away from there!"
[00:25] <Dark> The shadows slither slightly, the light again flicking but then vanishing from sight
[00:26] <@Kite> Aria reaches her hand out as if beckoning for the light to come ot her as she continues to stare through the darkness for what she seeks.
[00:27] <Dark> The light no longer appears, smoothered by the shadows.
[00:27] <Dark> "Aria!" You are suddenly pulled aawy from the forest as Daniel places himself between you and it "Are you even listenting to me!?"
[00:29] <@Kite> "Hm?" Aria says as she continues to look for the light slightly saddened.
[00:29] <Dark> He shakes you by the shoulders, eyes suddenly dark and serious "Aria...stop"
[00:31] <@Kite> "I'm okay... honestly..." Aria says as she continues to stare into the darkness.
[00:32] <Dark> "Thats it!" He suddenly growls as he pushes you away from the trees and forces you to turn around "We are leaving now"
[00:33] <@Kite> "Why?" Aria says as she backs away from him.
[00:33] <Dark> "Because that place is DANGEROUS!"
[00:35] <@Kite> "Which is why I'm not in there." Aria says defensive before turning her head away from him.
[00:36] <Dark> Somthing seems to shift in the forest, a whisper on the wind that you can not hear before Daniel again pushes you away, taking your hand and leading you directly away "Enough"
[00:38] <@Kite> Aria takes her hand back from Daniel before backing away still looking into the darkness. "I have to stay just a little longer... go on before your dad gets mad at you." Aria says unpleased that she missed what the voice said.
[00:39] <Dark> "I'm not leaving without you" he says "I know that look"
[00:40] <@Kite> "Well then... can you explain it to me cause I've messed a lot of things apparantly..." Aria says while looking irght at him all the while still searching for what she saw and heard.
[00:41] <Dark> "That look thats says your going to do somthing I am telling you not to do" He fixs you with a look "You say you trust me, trust me in saying that you musnt go in there"
[00:44] <@Kite> "I don't want to go in there... but I see something in there... well saw..."
[00:45] <Dark> "Well its gone now" he says, not even looking "And we have to be too"
[00:46] <@Kite> "But it's not... something was saying something..." Aria says to him. "Besides you're the only one who'll get in trouble. The orphanage doesn't care about me..."
[00:47] <Dark> "What are you on about?" He says, again pulling you away "The whole village cares about you. Now lets go before it gets dark!"
[00:49] <@Kite> "But I have to hear what was said... you know I won't be able to rest until something is completely done.... I've always been like that." Aria says as she continues to try and hear that voice from earlier.
[00:49] <Dark> He allows you to pause for a second but you hear nothing and so he resumes the ordering you to return
[00:51] <@Kite> "I'm not leaving till it's done..." Aria says as she continues to search through the darkness.
[00:52] <Dark> Looking into the shadows you see nothing, as if the forest has swallowed up whatever had been there before
[00:53] <@Kite> Aria frowns before closing her eyes to concentrate on what she is trying to see.
[00:53] <Dark> Nothing...
[00:55] <@Kite> Aria continues to concentrate.
[00:55] <Dark> "Aria...come on.."
[00:56] <@Kite> "Just go on..." Aria says to him.
[00:57] <Dark> "No" he says simply "You coming with me. Now"
[00:59] <@Kite> "...fine..." Aria says before walking back to the village letting him see she is extremely irritated.
[01:00] <Dark> He walks behind you, ensuring you dont do anything as you walk back to the village.
[01:00] <Dark> Behind you, the light flickers into life once more, whispering somthing in the wind...
[01:00] <Dark> *********END OF SESSION******

[22:49] <Dark> Again you find yourself rising from the abyss of sleep, your eyes opening to see the same treehouse that you have awoken in every morning for the last two days. The sounds of the your village in the early morning drifting in from the open window
[22:50] <Dark> This is now the third day that has come since you found yourself here and the village has sifted in part to better match your memories, though not in an obvious way...or mabye you are just losing track of what your real memories were actually like...
[22:52] <Dark> The last two days you have spent with Devance, who has always been nearby when you woke up with a list of jobs or things to do for the day and, though you still have no answers to your many questions, you have been finding these times with him fun and peaceful. You have however, been unable to get acess to the forest again since the first day...
[23:00] <@Kite> Aria gets up with a yawn before rubbing her eyes slightly tired still.
[23:04] <Dark> The treehouse you are in is full of various personal effects including a couple of pictures of you with freinds, books (one lying open being Alice and Wonderland for some reason) and a window to your side hangs open, a web attached to its side baring a pot of flowers
[23:06] <@Kite> Aria looks around before using her vision to see if Davance is nearby.
[23:07] <Dark> Looking out of the window, you can see him standing near in a bakers shop acoss the road from the tree you are in
[23:08] <@Kite> Aria smiles slightly before looking around the treehouse to see what else she can find.
[23:09] <Dark> Various personal effects that make the place seem ideal for you. YOu can see webs and other touches you can tell you yourself must have done yet have no memory of doing so and any items you would have expected to find are in the palces you would expect to find them.
[23:11] <@Kite> Aria picks up one of the books and begins to read while waiting for Devance. She for some reason chooses to read Alice in Wonderland.
[23:15] <Dark> The book is leather bound and feels old to the touch, as you flick through some of the pages, you feel as if your mind is swimming somewhat and have trouble picking out words
[23:17] <@Kite> Aria sighes trying to get more from the book before putting it down never having been good at understanding what the books meant anyways.
[23:18] <Dark> As you place the book down, it slips in your hands and falls face down upon the floor. As the pages fly out, a slip of paper slips from between some of the pages and lands by your feet.
[23:19] <@Kite> Aria picks up the paper curiously not having noticed it before.
[23:21] <Dark> "FIND THE FALT...FIND THE LIGHT" is all it says. The hand writing seems to be old, full of curls and twists you would expect from a medival writer
[23:22] <@Kite> Aria smiles grimly knowing what it is talking about though part of her wants to ignore it.
[23:24] <Dark> "What you got there?" You here Davance call, his head suddenly poking in through the door in the floor via ladder
[23:26] <@Kite> "Just looking at a piece of paper that fell from the book." Aria says with a smile before putting it back into the book. "So... what must we do today?"
[23:27] <Dark> "Up to you today" He grins, glancing at the book "We got the day off so I thought you might have somthing you want to do"
[23:30] <@Kite> "I don't have much to do." Aria says. "What are you doing today?"
[23:33] <Dark> "I dunno really" He shrugged "Was gonna go down the lake for a bit"
[23:34] <@Kite> "Really? That would take you close to the forest." Aria says slightly concerned.
[23:35] <Dark> He frowns "Only along the side, like we were the other day"
[23:35] <@Kite> "Hm... okay." Aria says with a shrug. "Are you going to practice again?"
[23:37] <Dark> "See how I feel when we get there" he simply says with a grin before vanishing down the ladder again
[23:40] <@Kite> "Okay..." Aria says before she jumps out of the window landing on the ground perfectly before she begins to run towards the lake so she can get there before him.
[23:42] <Dark> He calls out to you as you run and breaks into a run but you can easly out pace him. As you head towards the lake you find the trees to part into a path towards and around the lake, allowing you to reach it without going near the trees
[23:43] <@Kite> Aria stops once there with a small laugh. "You're kind of slow still Devance." She says with a smile when he finally gets there.
[23:45] <Dark> "Hey..." He says between strained breaths, leaning on his knees to pant "I think....I'm at least....getting faster.."
[23:47] <@Kite> "You are." Aria says smiling. "But you have to get a little faster still."
[23:48] <Dark> "I'll...bare...that in mind..."
[23:48] <Dark> He gives a loud cough before standing back streight and sighing "Well people have told me its good to get a lot of exercise in the morning"
[23:49] <@Kite> "That is true." Aria says with a small laugh.
[23:50] <Dark> "Right..." He shrugs, doing a couple of streatches with his arms as he looks at the water "Any requests today?"
[23:51] <@Kite> "Hm... have you already got the giant sphere of water thing done yet?"
[23:53] <Dark> "Nearly" He mutters as he walks into the lake, rolling up his sleeves "Still working on that one though"
[23:54] <Dark> placing his hands in the water, he begins to swirl it around his body in a circuler shape, his eyes closing as he focuses
[23:55] <Dark> Slowly, he begins to rise a small orb of water from the lake and morph it in his hands like a bowl of clay, his face blank as he molds it in the air
[23:55] <Dark> *Aria...*
[23:55] <Dark> the voice seems more like a memory then anything and you blink in surprise, immeditatly thinking it was your imagination to have heard
[23:56] <@Kite> Aria blinks before going back to watching Devance shaping water.
[23:58] <Dark> He is rising the water into the air now, molding it bigger and bigger as he twirls his hands around it.
[23:59] <@Kite> "Almost there..." She says cheerfully.
[00:00] <Dark> "Huh?" He blinks at your voice and the orb explodes due to lost concentration. The water goes flying in all directions with quite some force and smashes you off your feet.
[00:02] <Dark> As you raise your head, your blurry vision catches a glimpse of a mann stood within the trees, watching you, before Devance runs towards you, obscuring your view "Oh god are you alright?"
[00:02] <@Kite> Aria spits some water out of her mouth before laughing a bit. "Well that didn't go right."
[00:02] <@Kite> Even still she scans around because of the sight.
[00:05] <Dark> There is nothing to be seen anymore and Devance gives a sigh "Sorry about that. Guess I still havent gotten it"
[00:05] <@Kite> "Well then try again." She says getting up.
[00:07] <Dark> "Oh of course" He grins, already heading back towards the water "But keep it down a tad will ya this time?"
[00:08] <@Kite> "Fine..." Aria says.
[00:10] <Dark> he chuckles as he again places his hands in the water, begining the act of trying to form a sphere again. His faces goes blank as he works on the spehere and his eyes close, placing all of his concentraition upon the act.
[00:12] <@Kite> Aria watches silently as he works on his sphere.
[00:13] <Dark> The wather rises again, growing bigger and bigger as he brings it above his head, his hands always moving to shape it with every movement.
[00:16] <Dark> As you watch him however, you feel your eyes draw slightly to the side where, once again, you can see the figure of a man standing amongst the trees, a cloud of light seeming to glow by his feet
[00:17] <@Kite> Aria sighs before closing her eyes to ignore him.
[00:18] <Dark> You can hear the wind and ths spashing of water as Devance makes a mistake with his spell, muttering a grunt before correcting it and rectifying the orb.
[00:19] <@Kite> Aria then opens her eyes to see if he is still there.
[00:19] <Dark> Devance is still in the water and the man is still standing still watching you, he is however now further away and less visable
[00:21] <@Kite> Aria takes a look at the man again to see if she can see anything about him.
[00:25] <Dark> Somthing seems familer about him, someone you feel you know yet you can see nothing about him to hint at as to who. The more you look at him however, the more your mind starts to hurt before, with a flash of blinding light and darkness as one, you mind is consumed by the image of a snake with rows of teeth and blood red eyes roaring and lunging out towards you. The vision lasts a split second before its gone, the man along with it. But it feels you with the feeling of an almost ferul and instinctive fear...
[00:29] <@Kite> Aria takes a step closer to where Devance is at the sight of it.
[00:33] <Dark> Devance dosent seem to have noticed what happened, still swirling the water around
[00:35] <@Kite> Aria calms herself down before lookign around again.
[00:37] <Dark> the forest is empty again, but silent
[00:38] <@Kite> Aria sighs before turning back to Devance to see what if he has the move down.
[00:39] <Dark> The orb is now truly massive, hovering above his head in a somewhat wobbly yet secure shape. His face still focused and eyes closed
[00:42] <@Kite> Aria says nothing to see what he does next.
[00:42] <Dark> "Think...I got...it" He mutters, his voice slow as he keeps his hands up "Hows it...looking?"
[00:43] <@Kite> "Pretty big." She says with a laugh.
[00:44] <Dark> "oh" he grins "Thats good to know..."
[00:45] <@Kite> "So now what?" Aria says curiously.
[00:46] <Dark> He simply chuckles, turning his head towards you. Slowly he opens his eyes
[00:46] <@Kite> Aria backs up a bit just in case it explodes again.
[00:47] <Dark> As you catch glimpse of his eyes, your mind is assaulted by the flashing sound of battle and screaming. Images of black creatures ripping men and women apart and a snake like shape screaming up towards a moon the dosent exist in a cry of agonised pain. Words the are beyond mortal comprihension echo through your body and every inch of you screams to flee. For a second Devance seems to be standing within the middle of hell.
[00:48] <Dark> Then the vision is gone as quick as it appeared and Devance is smiling at you "Told you I could do it!"
[00:49] <@Kite> Aria falls down gasping for air from holding a breathe she didn't know she was holding. Aria tries to keep calm before looking back at Devance.
[00:50] <Dark> "Huh?" He frowns, still holding the water "Whats wrong?"
[00:51] <@Kite> "Nothing..." Aria says as she gets up again and smiles at him.
[00:52] <Dark> He frowns at you before looking up at the giant orb of water and grinning "Want to play catch?"
[00:53] <@Kite> "You know I can't control water like you.
[00:53] <@Kite> "
[00:54] <Dark> "Allright then" He laughs "How about dodgeball?"
[00:54] <@Kite> "Hm... sure" Aria says with a smile.
[00:55] <Dark> "RIght then" He gives a mock evil grin and hefts the orb higher "Get to running!"
[00:56] <@Kite> Aria smiles back before she shoots the orb instead.
[00:57] <Dark> "WHow!" He yelps as the orb explodes into a shower of wather that utterly drenches him "That was cheating..."
[00:58] <@Kite> Aria says nothing as she continues to laugh.
[00:59] <Dark> He gives an irritated look before starting to laugh to, shaking his body like a dog would in an attempt to dry himself off
[01:00] <@Kite> "Why not just use your magi to dry yourself off?"
[01:01] <Dark> He pauses for a second before shrugging "because that would be cheating too"
[01:01] <@Kite> Aria shrugs at what he says.
[01:01] <Dark> "So...ready to go home then?"
[01:03] <@Kite> "Yup." Aria says with a smile.
[01:05] <Dark> "Good good" he nods, before sighing and taking your adivce to dry himself off "Lets go then"
[01:06] <@Kite> Aria nods before taking step behind him.
[01:07] <Dark> As you head back to the village, you feel like the shadows around you are starting to grow darker...
[01:07] <Dark> *******END OF SESSION*********

[22:33] <@Dark> That night, you are lying awake in your bed having found that sleep seemed to be beyond your reach...
[22:36] <@Dark> Outside your window, the village is silent in the late night as people sleep and the only sounds you can hear is the odd call of an animal or the flapping of wings.
[22:37] <@Dark> This is now your first time actually being alone since first awakening in this strage...home.
[22:38] <Kite> Aria gets up with a yawn looking around the treehouse again.
[22:39] <@Dark> Nothing has changed from the day. The books are still there, your webs are casting strange shadows across the walls in the moon light and your window lies ever open, looking across the houses towards the forest on the far edge
[22:40] <Kite> Aria nods as everything is in place before jumping out of the window and unto the ground before taking off towards the lake.
[22:41] <@Dark> There is no real sign of life in the village as you pass through it. Yet, for some reason, the various street lights you pass all turn on ahead of you as if to light your path before dieing again once you have passed.
[22:43] <Kite> Aria remains completely silent as she continues to make her way forward though she still looks around to make sure she is alone.
[22:44] <@Dark> You see no one as you head towards the lake, reaching it in due time and finding it, as expected, completely void of signs of life.
[22:44] <@Dark> Even the water seems to be muted as it runs
[22:45] <Kite> Aria takes a moment to ready herself before looking around into the trees around her.
[22:46] <@Dark> For the first two searches you see nothing. But then, just as you are about to give up. You see the figure of a man standing in the distance, deep within the tree line
[22:47] <Kite> Aria takes a breathe before she begins to walk closer to the tree line keeping her eyes on him as well as she can.
[22:48] <@Dark> He stays utterly still, watching you until you are within distance to actually be able to see an identerty to him. Only for him to fade into nothingness, leaving a floating orb of blue light in his place
[22:51] <Kite> Aria takes a look at it before shooting a bit of web to try and draw it closer to her.
[22:52] <@Dark> The light vanishes the second your web touches it. Only to reappear further into the forest
[22:54] <Kite> Aria sighs before jumping up to land on a higher part of a tree before jumping to the next tree inside the forest.
[22:55] <@Dark> The light hovers on the spot until you get near before vanashing a second appears deeper into the forest a split second before the first flickers out
[22:56] <Kite> Aria once again jumps so she can get close to the light again.
[22:57] <@Dark> The same happens again. And again. And again. deeper into the forest before...
[22:57] <@Dark> "ARIA!!!"
[22:57] <@Dark> Turning around, you see Devance standing behind you, staring at you with an expression you have never seen on him before
[23:02] <@Dark> "What...the HELL are you doing!?"
[00:14] <Kite> "How do you know it's me here?" She says knowing he shouldn't be able to see her this far in.
[00:16] <@Dark> "Because I know you" he says simply "Now come back to the village"
[00:17] <Kite> Aria sighs before turning away and dashing deeper into the forest after the light.
[00:18] <@Dark> "Hey!" He shouts after you as you go before being left behind.
[00:19] <Kite> "Devance trust me, I'd never do anything to hurt you... intentionally" She says as she continues on.
[00:19] <@Dark> The lights continue their pattern of leading you deeper and deeper, each retreating whenever you got close before, as you feel yourself get closer to where ever you feel them taking you, the voice calls out again "Aria stop please!"
[00:20] <Kite> Aria continues on trying to block his voice out of her head.
[00:21] <@Dark> "ARIA!" He screams as he trips and falls to the ground with a harsh thud "Please! If you leave we die!"
[00:23] <Kite> Aria stops almost awkwardly as he says that. "What... do you... mean...?"
[00:25] <@Dark> "We...we..." he groans, standing and stumbling through a pair of trees. His eyes look up to the sky where you can see a black tempest growing in the direction of the village "No..."
[00:26] <@Dark> Behind you, the light gives a squeak and bobs up and down
[00:26] <Kite> Aria looks between the two not knowing what to do.
[00:27] <@Dark> "Please Aria!" he shouts, backing away from the tempest. movement can be seen in the shadows of the forest and you can hear what sounds like screams on the wind from the village "I...I dont want to die again..."
[00:28] <Kite> Aria looks on before she breaks down in a sob. "Why... why didn't you tell me this before..."
[00:34] <@Dark> "please dont leave" he begs. As you look up, you see the village you called home surrounded by a tempest of black clouds, lightning and echoing thunder ripping the sky above it apart. You can see the vauge shillougetts of people running and screaming in fear as a great tidle wave of oblivion rises above the village, pouring down upon them
[00:35] <@Dark> A light appears by your feet, a sound akin to a child whispering emmiting from it before it vanishes as Devance screams at the sight of shapeless monstrosaties rising from the trees
[00:36] <Kite> As Aria breaks down cry the trees around her start to decay and die off horribly as she continues to wail. She clutches her head for a moment before her crying stops.
[00:37] <Kite> Slowly Aria stands as a sickly purple aura begins to emerge from her. "I'm... tired... of this... always... being some one else's play thing... I'M SICK OF THIS!" She screams as the aura around her erupts killing off all signs of life around her the spinnerettes on her hands growing purple before every vein in her body does the same.
[00:40] <@Dark> You hear Devance give a scream that seems to tear the world apart as he is consumed. In the distance, your wave of death strikes the village at the same time as the tidle wave of oblivion and, in a carcophany of death the world around you screams and burns as the shadows grow
[00:43] <Kite> Aria screams again as two thorn like structures rip out of her mouth the aura around her pulsing out once more before it grows still as Aria pulls in enough restraint to keep it at bay. "Devance... why did you... why lie to me... why not tell me the truth..." She says emtionlessly knowing he won't answer having been consumed.
[00:44] <@Dark> *because it wasnt what you wanted*
[00:46] <Kite> "Then what do I want?" Aria says looking around for the voice.
[00:49] <@Dark> *Thats for you to discover...* In the middle of the oblivion you unleashed, a light bounces faintly
[00:50] <Kite> Aria walks toward the light as her body continues to pulse with the sickly purple glow.
[00:53] <@Dark> The lights continue to fade and reappear, leading you deeper into the forrest to a point where you feel as if it has changed to a diffrent place. Finally however, after what feels like an age of nothing, you see the man from before, standing with his back to you.
[00:54] <Kite> "Hello." Aria says flatly as she sees him.
[00:55] <@Dark> Slowly, the figures head turns towards you, his face being light up by one of the floating orbs of light to reveal a face that looks upon you with sorrow.
[00:56] <@Dark> "Hello Aria" Conjack Darkright sighs....
[00:56] <@Dark> *******END OF SESSION*******

[23:55] <@Dark> "Hello Aria" Conjack Darkright smiles a grim smile, his eyes casting a strange, sorrow tinted look from where he stands atop a cliff at the edge of the forest.
[23:56] <Kite> "Hello Conjack." Aria says curtly.
[23:57] <@Dark> He simply nods, looking as if he is waiting for you to continue
[23:59] <Kite> "So what are you doing here? Are you just another illusion made up to push me on the right path?" Aria says as the purple aura arounds begins to pulse in anticipation.
[00:02] <@Dark> "Ah you know me Aria" he sighs, looking into the void beyond the cliff he stands on "Never was one able to tread that path"
[00:03] <Kite> "You didn't answer my question. Are you real or not." Aria says disregarding what he says.
[00:04] <@Dark> He raises an eyebrow at you, tiliting his head to cast you in a sideways look "What do you think I am?"
[00:05] <Kite> "Another fake." She says simply . "And I have very little tolerance for those right now."
[00:06] <@Dark> He gives another sigh and looks back away "Then a fake I am"
[00:07] <Kite> "Then leave." Aria says before turning away from him. "I have things I must do."
[00:09] <@Dark> He clears his throat and holds out his hand, one of the small orbs of light appearing and bobbing up and down in his hand, not looking at you "The step back into the Darkness if that is what you want. Mabye the shadows will take upon you the mercy they never showed me and give you a second chance at what they made you"
[00:10] <Kite> "See... i don't like being at the mercy of others. They rarely treat me right." Aria says to him in the same voice as before.
[00:11] <@Dark> "I understand that" he shifts his hand and the orb playfully shifts to follow it, his back still to you as he looks into the abyss
[00:13] <Kite> "So..." Aria says. "What are you here for. Obviously you play some part in this."
[00:14] <@Dark> "The depends" he says, maintaining his cryptic talk "Where do you think here is?"
[00:16] <Kite> "Well that depends on what this place 'was'." Aria says back to him. "This place could be a distant memory of mines or it could be my heart. Honestly I don't know though nor do i kow why I should care."
[00:19] <@Dark> "Aria Widow..." His voice is quite as the orb shifts again "Its your decision to care or not. I have merely placed myself here to guide where I can...that is the role I place upon myself"
[00:21] <Kite> "Well then let's say i do care." Aria says to humor him. "What would you do? Wave this all away with magic and send me back to my world where I can pretend none of this happened?"
[00:23] <@Dark> "Thats is no for me to do Aria" He shakes his head "I am the Dark Phoriah, the one who eternally walks the path between light and darkness. I can offer guidence but it is for each person to pick which path they which to tred"
[00:24] <Kite> "And let me guess each path has it's own benefits and flaws." Aria says back to him sarcastically.
[00:28] <@Dark> He gives a dry laugh, turning to look at you "No. I'm not some test set out for you by those ignorent Trinity children. You stand upon the edge of a knife and must face which edge you wish to fall from"
[00:30] <Kite> Aria sighs at that. "I hate choices it feels like it's made to rip you off. no matter what you do you can't get both." Aria says to the fake. "So which one of these ways is the path of rainbows and butterflies."
[00:33] <@Dark> His laugh is grim "I am sorry to say that there is no such thing, and belive me I speak from experiance with that" He holds up on hand bearing the glowing light creature "One path is one of pain, sorrow and trials and the other is one of self made peace and removal from the lives of others...to try and put it into terms your language could understand"
[00:35] <Kite> "My, who would pick to cause themselves pain?"
[00:37] <@Dark> He clenches his fist with the orb, it giving a strange squeak as his face flickers with emotion "To sacrifice ones own happiness for the sake of another is the perhaps the greatest trial one could face..."
[00:39] <Kite> "Well then I need time to think." Aria says turning away from him again before walking towards the ruins of town from before. "I'll be back when I have my answer." Aria says before leaving without a word.
[00:40] <@Dark> "I am sorry Aria but the way is shut"
[00:40] <Kite> "Why so."
[00:42] <@Dark> "You turned from that perfect world when you left it screaming" He shakes his head "It was a place born from your deepest desire to go back to the way things were before, a world that would bring you happyness. False as it was"
[00:44] <Kite> "It wasn't perfect." Aria says back. "It was nothing but a cheap fake of the real thing." Aria says with a shrug. "But still I can't go get something of mine from their first?"
[00:47] <@Dark> "Yes it wasnt perfect...the one that built it around you was still young and....so scared" Again an new emotion plays over his face before he sighs "And I'm am sorry Aria but when you left that world it crumbuled into the oblivion of your mind, back to the memories it once was"
[00:47] <@Dark> *Please!* the voice of your lost freind echos in memory *If you leave we will die! I dont want to die again*
[00:48] <Kite> "So he built that world for me?" She says turning back to the fake.
[00:51] <@Dark> "The one who placed you there didnt know what it was doing" He mutters "It was born into fear and its reaction was to attack. This...utopia of the heart is at the core of the powers of the Darkness itself and thus here you were sent to the world where eternal peace is yours"
[00:53] <Kite> "So it wasn't Devance. Then what did it?" Aria says to the fake.
[00:54] <@Dark> "Davance" He raises an eyebrow "I'm sorry to say your freind back there was nothing more than a fragment of memory created by the part of your heart that still greaved over him. He was important to you, thus he was apart of the world you made for yourself"
[00:57] <Kite> "I figured as much. He was a bit off." Aria says. "Still it was nice to spend a few days with him again." Aria says.
[00:58] <@Dark> "The world was incomplete and immeture. Made by one who couldnt fully read your heart. Yet the blanks were made to suit. Devance was given a family who loved him, you were loved by the village and even had your house at the centre of their village..."
[01:01] <Kite> "It did a nice job. Too bad I'll have to kill what did that." Aria says with a shrug.
[01:03] <@Dark> Conjack gives a laugh "So thats your plan is it? Tell me Aria, why did you decied to leave that place. You knew it was offering you a happiness that could never return to you. And it was changing to match you"
[01:06] <Kite> "Because there is no point in a life where I do nothing but live off my old happy memories. I have a job to complete... besides Devance wouldn't want me to be stuck in some illusion he hates them."
[01:08] <@Dark> Now Conjack turns to look at you, his face lighter as he smiles "Good". From his shoulder, the light gives a squeak and flies over to hover before you, wisps of smoke around it making it look somewhat organic close up
[01:09] <Kite> Aria looks at the orb before poking it.
[01:10] <@Dark> "You will have to forgive them. A nostalgic memory of my own"
[01:14] <@Dark> "I sort of inserted them, along with myself, into this mental world to help guide you. Their called 'Will-O-Wisps', creatures that used to live in the forest of what humans now call Briton. All extinct now sadly but they were sort of companions of mine long before I met Eva. Legend says they woudl appear to lead people to their destiny"
[01:15] <Kite> Aria nods at what he says lookingg at it before poking it again.
[01:16] <@Dark> the Will-O-Wisps squeaks again
[01:16] <Kite> "So what am I suppose to do with this?"
[01:18] <@Dark> "It lead you here did it not?" Conjack says, turning back to look into the abyss and sighing at somthing "The forest, the place where you and I met and where you lived for peace. Its sort of symbolic of the two lives you faced. You could stay with others in the village...or return to your life in the forest. My freinds here simply guided you to me once you had made you pick"
[01:19] <Kite> "Okay... so then what do I do nnow?"
[01:20] <@Dark> "That is your choice" he casts a last look at somthing in the abyss and shakes his head with a sigh before turning back "What is your wish? You can awaken from my world or...if you desire, I could use my own power to place you back into that village. and I assure you, my power is so that it would truly be the perfect world for you and not based of idel memoires as that one was"
[01:22] <Kite> "And yet it would still be a hollow fake." Aria says denying his offer. "So I guess it's time to awaken."
[01:23] <@Dark> "It would not feel like a fake to you nor would you wish to view it as such" Conjack says "The power of the true Darkness over a heart is absolute"
[01:30] <Kite> <Kite> "A fake is a fake though. No matter what I want it to be it would still be a fake. So I ask again, how do I wake up?"
[01:31] <Dark> He nods in the direction he had been standing in before "By looking for the exit"
[01:32] <Kite> Aria walks up to before jumping up to the cliff and looking over the abyss like the fake before her had done.
[01:33] <Dark> "please not down there..." Conjack says "Down there is...my fake world" Even as you look, you can see the shapes of burning houses and things you can not put a name too
[01:33] <Dark> Raising a hand, a door of light begins to rise to your left, rising high like some great gate
[01:34] <Kite> "Yeah... I really don't like the idea of trying to push that open." Aria says as she walks towards it anyways
[01:35] <Dark> "It is the door of your heart, only you can freely open it"
[01:36] <Kite> Aria reaches to the door to open it before stopping. with a final sigh. The purple glow in her veins dies down and the thorns disappear from her. Once it is finish then she puts her hand against the door to open it.
[01:36] <Dark> The door feels warm, hissing beneath your touch
[01:37] <Dark> "But I am sorry Aria..." Conjack's voice is suddenly grave and full of sorrow "But the closer you get to the light...the greater your shadow becomes"
[01:38] <Kite> "What... does that mean...?"
[01:39] <Dark> Giving a look that seemed to tey to tell a million things at once, Conjack's eyes flash a deep blue light as he steps to the side, revealing a woman stood behind him
[01:40] <Dark> The woman looks up and, with a click of spider like figures, Aria Widow smiles at you...
[01:40] <Dark> *****END OF SESSION*****8

You guys still active?

We never left mate.

[21:20] <@Dark> The door of light shudders behind you as you feel the gaze of your double burn into you, wisps of shadow creeping around her yet never touching. To your left, Conjack sighs as he walks away a large distance before turning back, a Will-O-Wisp hovering beside his head
[21:20] <@Dark> "Were are we going?" your double asks, walking forward with her head tilted
[21:26] "You... want to come with me...?" Aria says having expected it to attack.
[21:27] <@Dark> "With?" she smiles, a smile that seems perfect for you yet some how...off "I go where you go because I am you"
[21:28] "...Okay..." Aria says before turning around and walking through the door, not at all worried about it attacking her since she can still see it.
[21:30] <@Dark> She simply stands watching you, that wrong grin never leaving her face as she looks back in the direction your village had been. As you reach the door, you find it held shut with a pulsating light in the shape of a keyhole but with no actual hole
[21:31] "...Have I mentioned... I don't like test..." Aria says as she looks around the door for any clue on how to open it.
[21:32] <@Dark> You find nothing
[21:32] <@Dark> *not still of heart*
[21:33] "Not... still of heart...?" Aria says looking around for where the voice is coming from.
[21:34] <@Dark> "Arnet these trials silly?" Your copy says, looking back at you "Oh they make us just want to scream in frustation"
[21:37] "They are fustrating... but they serve a purpose." Aria says to her copy.
[21:39] <@Dark> "A purpose?" She laughs "Screw the purpose, we just want out!"
[21:41] Aria shrugs at what the copy says before returning to the door. "What do you mean... not still of heart?"
[21:41] <@Dark> "You carnt ignore us"
[21:42] Aria turns back to the copy before placing a finger over her lips and turning back to the door.
[21:44] <@Dark> "Oh yes. And now we get the act of being all calm and focused. Got to admit, you put up a good show of being carefree and happy-go-lucky' cause deep down, your scared"
[21:46] Aria continues to ignore the copy as she waits patiently by the door.
[21:48] <@Dark> "You keep yourself hidden and isolated from the world out of fear of how they treat you"
[21:49] "Okay... that's not a big revelation..." Aria says back.
[21:49] <@Dark> "Only speaking what you think"
[21:50] "...okay..." Aria says not really getting the point of the copy saying that.
[21:53] <@Dark> "All this talk about saving people. Screw them, what have they ever done for us? We protect them and they try to kill us when we reveal ourselves to them."
[21:54] "It's not about... what people can do for you... it's about doing... the right thing..." Aria says with a sigh.
[21:56] <@Dark> "The right thing?" She sneers "How long will you delude yourself with that? You try to help them because you want to be accepted! Because no matter how long you hide in the forrest you still seek people to block out the pain of isolation"
[21:58] "So me leaving a group of people... who excepted me for who I am... yeah... what are you trying to say... copy?" Aria says turning back to it.
[21:59] <@Dark> "You left them because you knew that one day they would turn against you. Just like that village did. You couldnt stay to face that"
[22:01] "I left them... because I had no reason to stay... " Aria says looking at it.
[22:02] <@Dark> "Because you wouldnt allow yourself to have one!" She laughs, a strange sound that sounds like it should be yours yet broken and echoing "You fear attachment and finding a place because you know all will turn on you! And so they should. We are a monster!"
[22:04] As the copy says that Aria smiles a bit before letting out a small laugh.
[22:05] <@Dark> "you still deny?"
[22:06] "No... I just find you a little funny..." Aria says looking back at the fake.
[22:07] <@Dark> "How so?"
[22:09] "...Because... it's like watching a child explain... what being an adult is. They get the general picture... but they don't get the whole thing... it makes me sad for you..."
[22:12] <@Dark> "You can not hide what you belive from me" She smiles back "I am you"
[22:14] "Then tell me broken one... what do you know..."
[22:28] <@Dark> "I know that you resent the people that turned against you for a crime you didnt comit. Those that try to kill you when you tired so hard to save them and yourself for failing"
[22:49] "...Why... are you saying all of this..." Aria says looking at the fake.
[22:54] <@Dark> "Because its the truth" She raises an eyebrow "We both know it to be. You know it and thus I know it. I know everything about you because I am you"
[22:58] "I know that... but... what's the point?" Aria says looking at her fake. "You know me... so... don't I know this already..?"
[23:00] <@Dark> "You know it but you refeuse to accept it!" She shouts, causing the Will-O-Wisp to yelp and hide behind an expressionless Conjack's head "You decieve yourself with lies about being content with life watching others from the side lines"
[23:04] <@Dark> "I am you and i am sick of hiding in the sidelines!!"
[23:05] Aria steps back a bit at the last outburst. "...But that's always been our life... We help people and then leave... it's always been that way..."
[23:06] <@Dark> "And what if we dont want to live that way?" She growls "What if we dont want to live a life forced on us by the blind ignorace of people who refused to see anything but a monster!"
[23:08] "...But there's no reason to change it... aren't you happy with that life..?" Aria says looking back it.
[23:09] <@Dark> "I am you" She says, her eyes strangely tinted yellow as a faint mist of shadows bubble by her feet "I want to be able to walk into a city without running"
[23:11] "But it's not the life for us... people will always be afraid of us." Aria says backing up some more. "If you were me you'd understand..."
[23:12] <@Dark> "If I were you?"
[23:15] <@Dark> The yellow in her eyes seems to intensify "I am you Aria Widow"
[23:17] "Then you know... people will always run from us... don't you get it, we aren't allowed to have that life..." Aria says as the fake gets more corrupted.
[23:19] <@Dark> The light fades a touch "And why shoud we not? I want to have people look at us with caring again!"
[23:22] "We can't have it... because people are afraid of us..." Aria says taking another step back from the faker.
[23:24] <@Dark> "Well mabye we should give them a reason to fear us?" She grins "Mabye we should show them the monster they expect us to be...I would like that"
[23:30] "But we are not monsters..!" Aria says shouting a bit before quieting herself just as fast as it came.
[23:32] <@Dark> "I am you" She laughs "And if I am a monster, then you must be"
[23:34] "But I'm not a monster!" Aria says back.
[23:35] <@Dark> "But I am" She laughs, the shadows returning to her legs and her eyes showing yellow tinges again "And I am you"
[23:38] "No... I am not a monster..." Aria says back. "And you're just a fake."
[23:40] <@Dark> "I am you" She grin, he lips curling back into a snarl
[23:43] "No... you're just another fake..." Aria says back slightly angry. "And stop saying that!"
[23:44] <@Dark> "You deny me?" She says, taking a step forwards "You claim not to be me?"
[23:46] "You're a fake... just another copy made to try and toy with me..." Aria says back.
[23:46] <@Dark> "I am you" She walks forwards "I am your heart"
[23:48] "No... I would never be anything like you... I am not a monster!" Aria says befire pointing her hand at the fake out of instinct.
[23:49] "I am not you." Aria says to the fake finally visibly angry.
[23:50] <@Dark> "NO!" Conjack sudden screams and everything freeze in an instant.
[23:51] <@Dark> Slowly, the fake Aria begins to laugh, a sound that starts as a chuckle before growing into the houl of an insain person screaming at the sky. From her mouth, black liquid that stinks of poison and taint pours forth and her entire body begins to shudder and twitch. As you fire you needel, it strikes her chest and explodes into a black liquid that only adds to the stuff already covering her
[23:52] "I am not a monster..." Aria mutters to herself.
[23:52] <@Dark> Conjack curses in Darkling as the other Aria begins to convulge and mutates, growing too many limps and rising to reach a full three times your height, always laughing as her body breaks and reforms a thousand times
[23:54] <@Dark> Her body covored in a stench of poison that makes you god, you find yourself staring into the shape of a massive spider made from poison/gas and toxic pus. A thousand eyes stair down towards you as the beast roars and laughs, a sick toxic parody of your monster form.
[23:55] <@Dark> "I AM A SHADOW!!" The creature laughs, its voice sounding a terrible unison between your own and that of the Darkness "THE TRUE SELF!"
[23:55] <@Dark> ****END OF SESSION*****
[23:59] NO IT's NOT OVER!
[00:00] * Kite pulls the ****End of Session**** sign down

[22:52] <Dark> There is a war that we must fight every second of our lives. A war that shapes the world around us in ways you could not possibly understand and it rages on an unbelievable scale everywhere you look yet you are blind to it. But sometimes you are forced to behold the war. Sometimes the war refuses to go ignored. I lost my war a long time ago. Perhaps you can see your side in time…"
[22:52] <Dark> -Conjack Darkright during the Battle of the Third Circle of the Angelus.
[22:52] <Dark> ********************************
[22:54] <Dark> The air around you starts to hiss as it fills with the strange sent of what you somehow know to be toxins, black smoke hissing around the feet of your Shadow as the spider like shape rises to tower over you
[22:54] <Dark> "I am a shadow!" The Creature snarls as its mouth twists to form words it should be void of "The True self"
[22:57] <@Kite> Aria says nothing as she quickly jumps back to place space between herself and the shadow.
[22:58] <Dark> THe shadow simply laughs, toxic air rising from its arachnid mouth "You still deny me?"
[23:01] <@Kite> "Deny you of?" Aria says as she lands from her jump.
[23:03] <Dark> Its leg stomps down upon the ground with a grace the seems wrong compared to its size "Why flee yourself?"
[23:06] <@Kite> "Because... don't people flee from monsters." Aria says taking another jump back.
[23:07] <Dark> again the spider laughs, as sick parody of your own laugh "Yes they do. And why shouldnt they? Anything that isnt what they call normal must be evil"
[23:08] <@Kite> "Evil... no just different." Aria says looking back at the monster having landed the second jump.
[23:11] <Dark> The spider takes a step forward for every jump, laughing that disturbing laugh with every step. From its feet, the black mist rises higher
[23:12] <Dark> Then, with a twisted sound of someone inhailing, the shadow breaths in and vomits out a stream of black liquid that shoots across the space between you
[23:15] <@Kite> Aria frowns before jumping from where she stands to the far left side. "This won't be easy..." She says as she lands the jump and looks back at the shadow.
[23:17] <Dark> The shadow makes a strange sound, one akin to you sobbing as it snarls back at you. Where the liquid had landed, sizzling and decay and be seen to consume the ground
[23:18] <@Kite> "We don't have to fight..." Aria says looking at the shadow.
[23:20] <Dark> "WE WILL NOT BE DENYED ANYMORE!"
[23:21] <Dark> the voice again is a twisted version of your own
[23:22] <@Kite> Aria frowns at the shadow though still not making a move to attack it.
[23:32] <Dark> "All we want is to be accepted" The voice growls as its maw opened again and yet another stream of toxin is fired at you, this one wider than that last few
[23:36] <Dark> As you jump out of the way, the liquid catches your leg and burns into it. Instead of pain however, you feel a wave of the agonising emotion the Shadow keeps speaking off. The clothes on your leg sizzle beneath the decaying touch but the emotion fades after a few seconds leaving panting for breath
[23:38] <@Kite> Aria groans at the feeling though she still does not retaliate.
[23:39] <Dark> The shadow snaps its jaws as it looks at you "What do you want?"
[23:43] <@Kite> "I don't want to fight you... because most of your... no our pain was caused by me... I admit I don't let people draw close... because I think of myself as a monster..." Aria says to the shadow. "My choices have brought me pain... and I'm sorry you... had to feel it as my shadow."
[23:45] <Dark> The Shadow stares at you for a time before its mouth opens wide and its head rises to the black sky. Its body shakes as it releases a screech of agony in your own voice, a cry that makes the very foundations of the world around you shake
[23:46] <@Kite> Aria winces at the sound though she never stops watching the shadow.
[23:46] <Dark> hoving over to you from where it had been beside the silent Conjack, the Will-O-Wisp lowers to the ground beside your hand as the Shadow scream gets louder
[23:47] <Dark> With a slight squeak it nudges your hand as if trying to work under it
[23:48] <@Kite> Aria looks at the will-o-wisp before slowly opening her hand to it.
[23:49] <Dark> With a quit hum, the will-o-wisp lands in your hand and explodes into a light that spreads outwards, taking the shape of a long rod that feels both heavy and light to hold.
[23:50] <Dark> With a flash of brillian light, you find yourself holding a strange key shape...
[23:50] <Dark> *Find the light in the darkest night. Use it to light your way through*
[23:52] <@Kite> Aria looks at the shadow as she hears the voice.
[23:55] <Dark> It has started stomping backwards as it screams, the shadows across its body taking the shape of faces of the people you remember that pushed you away as well as those who you feel you wronged. All screamin in their own voices to add to the syphany of agony
[23:58] <@Kite> Aria looks at the shadow before raising up the keyblade. "Don't worry shadow... I won't let you suffer..."
[00:00] <Dark> Slowly the shadow turns to you, replying in your own, strained voice "You are the one that suffers Aria Widow". Then the screaming resumes
[00:00] <@Kite> With that Aria jumps up before bringing the keyblade down right towards its heart.
[00:01] <Dark> THe keyblade slices clean through the shadow, bathing its body in blinding light as its screams are suddenly cute off and it explodes into oblivion. And the world shatters along with it.
[00:02] <Dark> Your body is hurled into the air by some unseen force, catching a brief glimpse of Conjack walking back and vanishing over the cliff he had been by before as you lose sight.
[00:03] <Dark> "you have faced the battle for your heart Aria" he calls over his shoulder as he fades "But I'm afread the battle for you life must now be met"
[00:04] <Dark> Then, the light around you consumes everything and you feel warmth spread across your body. A warmth that grows and grown until i feels like its bruning your very flesh. Suddenly your eyes are torn open and your find yourself lying on the ground in the middle of the Trinity testing hall
[00:05] <Dark> And all around you, surrounded by rubble and debris is the fire that reaches out to your body...
[00:05] <Dark> ***END OF SESSION***

[20:57] <Dark> "Rise from the shadows, make a fist of the pain.
[20:57] <Dark> Rise from your grief before it grows into you bane.
[20:57] <Dark> Rise from the prison that you've built in your soul.
[20:57] <Dark> When the night has arisen then your legend will be whole"
[20:57] <Dark> -Song sung by the Darkling rebels during the War in Heaven.
[20:57] <Dark> *********************
[20:58] <Dark> All that you can see as you come back to reality is the smoke and heat of raging fire. Debris litter the ground around and chucks have fallen from the walls.
[20:59] <Dark> In the distance you can hear the faint echoing of fighitng and screaming but it sounds distanct and warped.
[21:00] <@Kite> Aria gets up checking herself over to make sure she's alright. Once done she hurries to see where she can others.
[21:06] <Dark> The door from the testing hall is broken and bent, hissing as its slams against where a chunk of wall has fallen to block it before opening and slamming against it again. Trying to shut yet unable to
[21:08] <@Kite> Aria walks up to the door seeing if there is enough space to move out of the room.
[21:09] <Dark> There is just enough to slip past so long as you time the move right as it slams against the debris again. the rubble shifts slightly as it hit
[21:10] <@Kite> Aria quickly moves past the door not wanting to get stuck in the room.
[21:14] <Dark> Not a second after you got passed, the door slams hard against the thing blocking it and shatters it, slaming shut and sealing the room of behind you.
[21:15] <@Kite> "..." Aria says nothing before trying to look around tapping her head on the side as she does so.
[21:16] <Dark> Rubble litters the carridor that you passed through before, but you can see no sound of life.
[21:21] <Dark> With a burst of static however, a voice breaks out over the speakers:
[21:22] <Dark> **Thi...is Sector Fiv....We are under...ack! Their everywhere! Oh god th....ming out of the Walls! Repeat we are under atta-** Then the speaker erupts into the sound of screaming and inhuman roaring before falling silent
[21:23] <@Kite> Aria shudders before looking around to see if anything is near her.
[21:24] <Dark> You vision feels blurry as you look around and you keep feeling like you see shapes at the edge of your vision that vanish the second you attept to focus upon them
[21:25] <Dark> In the room next door you can see a computer desk overturned with various documents lying scatted across the floor, blood coating sections of the desk
[21:27] <@Kite> Aria continues to look around before she tries to move into the room so she can have a look at the documents.
[21:30] <Dark> They appear to be variour records of people who have taken the test you had been taking and you see your own record on top of the pile, half filled in and coated in a spray of dried blood
[21:32] <@Kite> Aria frowns before walking out of the room cautiously.
[21:35] <Dark> As you walk down the path, you can hear the sounds of fighting slowly die out to be repleaced with a silence that feels wrong and unnatural next to the tapping of your own feet and the shaking of the rubble you kick as you walk
[21:37] <Dark> After walking for what feels like an age, you can see the faint shape of someone running down a pathway that runs parallel to your own.
[21:39] <@Kite> Aria turns towards them to see what they are running from. While doing this she moves as quickly as she can towards their location.
[21:42] <Dark> You can see nothing for him to be fleeing, but he constantly looks behind himself as he runs, a chunky Keyblade in hand
[21:43] <@Kite> Aria continues to move closer looking around and back at him trying to see what he's running from.
[21:47] <Dark> Still you see nothing as he runs, his keyblade glowing brightly. He pantsas he rounds a corner and sees you "Hey!"
[21:48] <@Kite> "Are you... okay?" Aria says still looking around while watching him as well.
[21:48] <Dark> "Get moving!" He shouts "There right behind m-"
[21:51] <Dark> His voices cuts of into a broken gargle as somthing taht barely seems to exist stabs through a vent in the roof and plunges through the top of his head, emerging from beneath his lower jaw. The shape simmers in the light yet seems to hold no physical form as it pulls him upwards for another shimmering shape to plunge through his chest
[21:52] <Dark> You catch sight of his still beating heart being ripped from his own chest before his body is hurled across the room into wall with a sickening thud.
[21:54] <Dark> The heart hovers in the air, held impaled upon an invisable shape before black mist consumes it and the sound of a painful clikcing echos and the heart is released, and the attacker vanishes, leaving the black consumed heart to bulge and explode into a hissing and clicking creature of shadow
[21:54] <@Kite> Aria jumps back covering her mouth as she begins to frantically look around while keeping her eyes on the shadow before her.
[21:55] <Dark> Growling long legs and snapping jaws, a Heartless that resembles a dog with a jaw that spans its entire body releases a howl that shakes the very foundations of the building
[21:57] <Dark> Black mist drops from its jaw like drool as it stamps its legs and turns to you, growling a long series of clicks
[21:58] <@Kite> Aria looks at the dog before pointing at the dog and shooting at it.
[22:05] <Dark> With a snap of its jaws, the Heartless takes the shot square in the mouth and explodes into a cloud of black smoke, vanishing from existance
[22:06] <@Kite> "This... is not going well..." Aria says looking at the dog.
[22:08] <@Kite> Aria looks around after the dog is gone trying to see if she can find anyone else giving a last sad frown to where the guy was.
[22:10] <Dark> **Bzzz-This is commander Harter of the Trinity second sq...** The speakers suddenly burst out as you look at the motionless body **The facility is being overrun. I dont know how the hell this happened but all personel must head towards the medical bay immidialty! Hold strong Trinity! We can can hold aginst this shad--** It then cuts out
[22:11] <@Kite> "What's going on..." Aria says realizing she also has no clue where the medical bay is. with that she decides the next thing to look for is a map of the place.
[22:14] <Dark> As you walk down the pathway, you think it may be a good idea to check the main entrance to the facitlity that you came in by for a map
[22:16] <@Kite> Aria begins to walk towards the enctrance more on guard than before sense she knows a lot of people probably already went towards the entrance.
[22:20] <Dark> As you head down the path you reach a point that appeared to be a viewing platform for the base that allows people to look across the entirety of Trinity. The window has been shielded but you can see a button marked open next to where the body of a creautre that looked like a humanoid cow (who also bears a hole where her heart should be). You can leave it shut and move on to the entrance or open it to see the damage.
[22:22] <@Kite> Aria tries to look through the door to see if she can see anything.
[22:32] <@Kite> Aria pushs the button after a shrot wait.
[22:35] <Dark> Slowly, the window sheilds groan open and you see Heartless the resemble bats hiss and take flight from their where they were hanging above the window. Gazing out across Trinity, you can see fires burn a several points and fighting rages everywhere. You feel cold grip your heart like a vice as you see the shapes of thousands upon thousands of Heartless crawing around the surface of the facility, all diffrent shapes and sizes, swarming across buildings like a disturbed ant hive
[22:35] <Dark> In the air, yet more circle like moths to a flame as they seem to be searching for sotmhing, smashing their very bodies against walls and clicking none stop in their attack
[22:37] <Dark> *****END OF SESSION*****

We need to get back on this, I wanna kill me some heartless and start some technicalities xD

[22:40] <@Dark> The sound of whispering sends ripples through water as you sink headfirst into the abyss reaching up. from below. The light begins to fade the further you sink until nothing can be seen in any direction
[22:41] <@Dark> Straining you're head you can see small specks of light shimmering here and there but they are impossible to focus on as you fall. The feeling of the water has vanished and you feel as though you are now falling through open air
[22:43] <@Dark> Slowly, you feel you're body begin to twist to bring itself the right way up and you're feet touch solid ground. Though looking downward you see nothing but the abyss reaching out below
[22:46] Aria straightens herself out before looking around around.
[22:48] <@Dark> Nothing can be seen around you save for the nothingess.
[22:48] <@Dark> **So much to hide** a whispering voice hisses through the air, barely audioable yet deafening clear **So much to see**
[22:50] "Why is it always so dark." Aria says before she hears the voice.
[22:50] <@Dark> **The is no dark here**
[22:50] <@Dark> **There is only the failure to see**
[22:55] "Then how do you see." Aria asks her fingertips glowing dimly.

[00:49] <@Dark> **By knowing what you seek**
[00:50] <@Dark> **Step forwards**
[00:56] Aria frowns a bit. "Knowing... what you seek?" She says thinking back to the previous talk.
[01:04] "...What does that mean?" Aria asks before taking a step forward.
[01:11] <@Dark> As you're foot touches the none existant ground, a blinding flash explodes around you. LIke paint flacking away in a fierce wind, the ground sudders and the falling abyss peels away to reveal you standing upon a great stain glass window. its colours are bathed in deep blacks, purples and reds portraying a great black spider, each of its legs touching the tips of the circuler window
[01:12] <@Dark> between each of its legs are various images of locations you recognise. You're home village, Mahora, the tower of Zanton, Trinity to name a few
[01:19] <@Dark> **Past, present and future. All must be seen to truly see**
[01:26] Aria listens to what the voice says before walking around looking at the various images.
[01:27] <@Dark> **Rember the places you have been. Remember what you learned there**
[01:28] <@Dark> Shimmering in the pictures, you see flickers of figures moving around within but can not focus upon them
[01:30] "Amity City. Vionem Forest, Traveller's Cave..." Aria says as she walks by looking at each picture. "How do you know of all these places?"
[01:31] <@Dark> **This place, you form. Everything seen within, comes from within yourself**
[01:44] "So this place is made of my memories...?" Aria asks as she goes around looking at the rest of them.
[01:50] <@Dark> **Memories of the past, the present and the future**
[01:50] <@Dark> As it says that you notice a place you have not seen before in the pictures. A great castle of white stone, angel statues with golden wings standing guard atop each side of its golden gate
[01:56] "Future..." Aria says before she goes to look at the image.
[01:58] <@Dark> A slight headache creeps into you're mind as you look at it before a heavy rumbling pulls your attation behind you as a trio of large pillers rip out of the ground. Upon one floats a sword, the second a sheild and the thrid a strange staff. Each are slowly turning and each seeps the sense of power
[02:04] <@Dark> **What do you value?**
[02:05] <@Dark> **The streignth to face your foes? To take it would be to gain the power to fight**
[02:06] <@Dark> **The streignth to defend? To take it would be to gain the power to defend those around you from any foe**
[02:06] <@Dark> **The streignth to know? To take it would be to gain the wisdom to know the world around you**
[02:06] <@Dark> **Which do you value?**
[02:14] "What do you mean by value? All of them are important..." Aria says looking between each one. "Without the power you can't always protect... Without knowledge... you wouldn't always know how to use that strength... and without the wil lto protect you would eventually lose something worth fighting for... it's not really possible to just pick one..." Aria says with a frown as she looks at the three again.
[02:17] <@Dark> **Pick none and none will improve** The voice warns **What do you value?**
[02:20] Aria's frown does not leave before she takes the staff.
[02:22] <@Dark> **You value knowledge?**
[02:24] Aria nods quietly holding the staff in her hands slightly awkwardly. The way she tries to keep it between her palms instead of wrapping her fingers around it doesn't quite allow for the best holding.
[02:26] <@Dark> **For something to be gained however...something must be lost. Such in the way of all things** The voice sounds sad for a moment as the light above the staff podiam fades**What will you sacrifice?**
[02:30] Aria looks between the three before walking to the sword. "This one..."
[02:31] <@Dark> **You sacrifice the streignth of attack against you're foes?**
[02:32] "Defending those around me is more important to me." Aria says picking her words carefully while she tries to steady the staff in her hands.
[02:47] With that said she takes a step away from the sword, careful not to let the staff drop.
[03:10] <@Dark> In a flash, the sword vanishes in a bliding burst of light
[03:11] <@Dark> Slowly, the piller that had been holding it crumbles in upon itself along with the other two. For a second, the Sheild glows before it two vanishes.
[03:12] <@Dark> **You have chosen you're powers and taken you're first steps forwards. However, the door is still closed and for every step forward you take, you're shadows will grow behind**
[03:12] <@Dark> Slowly, you hear the faint clicking of something echoing around you
[03:14] Aria doesn't even look behind her as her eyes focusing in on the source of the noise behind her.
[03:19] <@Dark> Sloly rising from the rubble of the pillers, small black creatures rise from the ground. Their flesh is pitch black and from atop featureless heads, needle like yellow eyes twtich and focus upon you.
[03:20] <@Dark> They are creatures you didnt think you would ever see again, creatures you have seen tare men apart before...
[03:20] <@Dark> Creeping towards you, the Heartless rise
[03:20] <@Dark> ******END OF SESSION********

@Dark> "There is one battle that even the most peacful of lives must face. Luckly for them however, it is a battle they may not even be awear they are fighting" -Conjack Darkright
[17:02] <@Dark> **************************
[17:04] <@Dark> Clambering over the three stone pillers which had preiviously born the three items, the shadows releash a strange clicking noise as they advance. The sheild vanishes as a pair of them fall upon it, a flash of light marking its disapperance.
[17:06] <@Dark> They are Heartless, of that you feel no doubt. The same feeling of emptyness you had felt when you looked upon Conjack's army emits from them and their beedy yellow eyes gaze up towards you with blank looks. Their movements are...sparatic at best. Limbs twitch as if trying to break free from their own bodies and heads lunge to the side as if in pain. They lack the sense of meaning they had when under the Darkling's command and now appear almo
[17:08] <@Dark> ***Ever choice made has consequences*** the voice whispers as the Heartless advance. Four of the small black figures dagging themselves forward ***Shadows of possabilites lost and of regrets later to come***
[17:13] Aria frowns before moving back with the same easy she normally does such things before moving the staff to be held with one handing. Then with a flick of the other, a small blast shoots forward to hit one of the ehartless.
[17:21] <@Dark> The shot strikes the shadow standing upon the wand podium and it explodes. The web wraps around its small body and with a harsh splashing noise it was thrown backwards. Its body fades away into black mist before it hit the ground
[17:22] <@Dark> For a second there is a strange silence. Before the heartless lunge forwards
[17:27] Aria moves between the first two heartless, before blocking the attack of the third one. Then knocking it back she jumps up before trying to strike it down with the staff.
[17:28] <@Dark> Raising its large head to gaze at you as you swing down the attack the Heartless vanishes into the ground. Moving fast, the dark pool shoots between you're feet and the Shadow rises up behind you once more
[17:30] <@Dark> As it rises, it lashes out towards you once more whilst the other two are over taken with unnerving spasms that make you look away
[17:31] Aria moves away from the heartless not liking the fact that it can just move into the ground to avoid an attack. With another flick of her hand she attacks the heartless that evaded her before.
[17:37] <@Dark> Again, the Heartless falls into the ground like water suddenly losing physical form and it shifts away to rise again out of the attack space of you're shot
[17:40] Aria twists to the side of the attack observing the heartless carefully.
[17:42] <@Dark> The three Heartless continue to twitch as they move towards you. They seem..void of reason. Just a need to attack that even their own bodies can not control. When compared to the smooth movements of Conjack's heartless...it feels unnerving
[17:43] "Okay then let's try this." Aria says as she moves back to where the original SS was shot. From there she makes yet another shot at the heartless.
[17:45] <@Dark> The struck heartless convulges as it is hit. The web wraps around its small body and a strange howling sound can be heard....akin to the scream of a voice you feel like you almost recognise...sounds out and it explodes into a dull mist
[17:46] <@Dark> With a dull spasm, the two remaning Heartless seperate further as they advance, their yellow eyes gazing at you
[17:50] <@Dark> Lashing out, their seem to lunge forwads like puppets dragged by string and they strike without rhyme or reason. It is easily dodged
[17:53] Aria then jumps up as she shoots another blast at one of them. When she lands, the place where the web would shoot out will leave no where for the heartless to attack her without coming up through the web.
[17:58] <@Dark> Twitching wildly, the heartless keep coming. Void of reason other then to attack, they clamper headlong into the web
[17:59] <@Dark> Clickling wildly, the get caught int he web
[18:00] <@Dark> Pulling their arms up, their continue to advance towards you
[18:04] Aria is slightly confused to why they aren't dying to the poison before she shoots one of them.
[18:06] <@Dark> The Heartless, wrapped up in the web as they are already are unable to dodge andare both reduced to quivering mist
[18:07] Aria says nothing as she looks around again.
[18:08] <@Dark> ***Hiding fears in webs. Only delays***
[18:10] Aria says nothing as she waits for something more to happen.
[18:11] <@Dark> ***What are you're webs?***
[18:12] "Just that, webs." Aria says after a pause. "They help keep me safe just like they're supposed to."
[18:12] <@Dark> ***From what?***
[18:14] "What ever tries to harm me." Aria says non chalantly before she begins to move through the web to no longer stand by the podium.
[18:16] <@Dark> The second you're foot touches the glass outside of the web it shatters. The is another screaming sound and you plunge once more into the nothingness below.
[18:16] <@Dark> ***Pause***

[22:46] <@Dark> "You see...I told you that you didnt know yourself Conjack. You claime to know who you are and what you want...yet now you reveal yourself. Look upon him world...and you child. Look upon the truth of a mans heart. The final act of your life...is murder" -Pillion
[22:46] <@Dark> **************************
[22:48] <@Dark> Glass shatters and you fall once more. From your hands, the items you had called shimmer and fade from existance and the crushing oblivion again reaches out to you.
[22:49] <@Dark> Around you, the shimmering shards of colour from the window you had stood upon fall. They spin and shine in none existant light and vanish beneath you.
[22:51] <@Dark> Somewhere, something whispers and you heard the sound of glass clinking before your body shifts and you find yourself suddenly standing upon another window. Upon this one, the shape of a tree glimmers up towards you. Upon each branch is a web, through the gaps of which you can see places from your memory.
[22:51] <@Dark> Places you remembered fondly, still images of times from your thoughts frozen within the web of the tree.
[22:52] Aria says nothing as she looks over the stained glass.
[22:52] <@Dark> At the far end of the glass stands a great door bearing the carving of a spider with its legs outstretched. The door is closed tight. Still, all around you beyond the glass, their is nothing but oblivion
[22:54] Aria moves towards the door though mostly out of a long since un-needed habit.
[22:56] <@Dark> The door is sealed shut and carved from a grey stone. From the carving you can feel a faint warmth rise up.
[23:00] 'Sealed doors are never any good...' Aria thinks to herself while watching the surroundings so see if something will happen.
[23:02] <@Dark> Dull lights emit from the diffrent locations upon the ground and when ever you look upon one you feel voices creep into your mind. Past events, happy memories. The tree seems to sway in a breeze upon the glass.
[23:06] <@Dark> Voices drift up from the images as they begin to dance, each reenacting the events the represent through your eyes. Here you speak with a freind upon his sick bed, there the phoriah places a bag beside your feet in a forrest. Each shifting in blurry dances
[23:06] Aria moves towards one of the scenes were the light is emitting.
[23:07] <@Dark> The scene plays out and without realising it you feel a smile upon your face at the memory.
[23:07] <@Dark> ***A happy time***
[23:07] <@Dark> The voice echos out again, its source untellable
[23:09] Aria begins to go to each one of the memories to watch them all play through.
[23:10] <@Dark> One after the other, the dance of history moves through the brances of the 2D tree. Many of the you had forgotten about yet feel warm to be reminded off. As you move from one to another, you feel the door loom over it all like a great shadow.
[23:12] After having watched the last one, she once again returns to the door.
[23:13] <@Dark> ***Times left behind***
[23:13] <@Dark> The voice whispers as you look towards the door, the warmth again humming from it as the images continue to dance below
[23:15] Aria watches patiently too see if there is more.
[23:16] <@Dark> When one memory ends, another begins with its lights pulsing from the ground.
[23:17] <@Dark> ***Times and places you walked away from***
[23:18] Aria nods as that is said, catching all of the memories as they are relayed.
[23:19] <@Dark> ***Why did you walk away from them? Why move on when you were happy in these places?***
[23:21] "Dwelling only in the past... means you can never go forward. And a person who doesn't grow... becomes stagnant and bitter, longing only for things... they can not regain." Aria says as she sways from side to side.
[23:23] <@Dark> ***So you refuse to find a place to stay? Is that not the same as running away all your life?***
[23:25] Aria shakes her head no. "The freedom... to be able to go where I am needed or wanted... that doesn't sound like running... at least not to me."
[23:27] <@Dark> ***Yet your first reaction to why not stay is the fear of thinking of your past***
[23:29] Aria nods, not denying those words. "To stay and hurt someone... friends that trust and care for you... I think that would hurt... more than any type of running."
[23:31] <@Dark> ***So it is for others you run?***
[23:32] Aria nods.
[23:33] <@Dark> ***Then why say you did it for your desire to grow?***
[23:35] "There is often more than one reason for something... I left to keep others safe... but along the way I've learned things... about myself and others. Those things have helped me grow... and have made me who I am now." Aria says after a bit of thinking.
[23:37] <@Dark> ***What have your learned?***
[23:41] "Many things." Aria says with a small smile. "I learned more about this world... about the people... the kindness others can bring... and that there's always a way to a brighter day." Aria says with closed eyes..
[23:42] <@Dark> ***So you would keep moving?***
[23:43] "If that is what must happen... then yes." She answers politely.
[23:43] <@Dark> Below you the images begin to slow and darken as if the memory is being lost
[23:44] <@Dark> ***And what if it meant you could never return to that place of happyness?***
[23:45] "Everyone must learn... to move on sometimes."
[23:46] <@Dark> To your side, the door groans as it opens. Beyond, there is nothing. Not just nothing, but a complete lack of anything....an abyss of void. Below you, the images now seem frozen in place as they darken.
[23:47] <@Dark> ***So you would walk out into the unknown and lost, leave the safty of warmth behind?***
[23:48] "If that is the way it must be." Aria says without hesitation.
[23:50] <@Dark> The door opens wide like a gaping maw
[23:51] <@Dark> ***Nothing must be child. It is only what you wish***
[23:53] Aria nods before turning her full attention to the door.
[23:56] <@Dark> Nothing can be seen through it save for a pitch blackness going further then you can see. The pressence of the unknown is surprisingly intimidating for you
[23:58] Aria takes a deep breathe and releases it before she walks through the door.
[00:01] <@Dark> As your foot passes over the door the glass behind you explodes. The glass between each branch where your memories had been explode with dark light. Looking behind at the noise you see the withering mass of dozens of Heartless clawing their way through the holes between each branch. Like a seething mass of clicking black they swarm towards you before the door slams shut and you are plunged into suffocating nothing.
[00:03] <@Dark> For several long moments, there is nothing.
[00:04] <@Dark> Then, with low shivers of light, a long set of glowly blue stairs appear below you. Looking along them, the line leads high into the shadows above you.
[00:05] Aria begins to walk up the stairs with a slow deliberate pace.
[00:07] <@Dark> Still nothing can be seen as you climb and you struggle against the feeling of vertigo as your body reacts to the nothingness below. Each step is far enough for you to be able to see between them all as you climb higher and higher.
[00:08] <@Dark> You lose track of how high you climb before finally you draw close towards another glass window floor. This one is in the likeness of a strange pattern which you can not follow, a twisting mix of light and dark colours.
[00:12] Aria steadies herself with each step up not stopping despite the situation.
[00:13] <@Dark> Once you step onto the glass the steps behind suddenly loose their place and plumet into the oblvion below.
[00:14] <@Dark> ***From the memories you allow yourself to forget. The shadows of doubt arise***
[00:15] Aria says nothing as she slowly takes off her gloves.
[00:17] <@Dark> ***If you force yourself to move forwards too fast you will lose for yourself what you set out for in the journy***
[00:18] "And what is it... that you believe I am losing?" Aria says politely as she pockets her gloves, the spinnerettes on her fingers glowly dimly.
[00:22] <@Dark> ***That is for you to decide***
[00:23] Aria says nothing to that.
[00:26] <@Dark> Lights begin to dance around the rims of the glass disk.
[00:26] <@Dark> ***Sometimes you do not notice what was lost. Till you see to remeber what you lost and can not***
[00:28] "I see..." Aria says as she takes a step forward.
[00:31] <@Dark> At the far end of the disk, a large beam of light is growing.
[00:31] <@Dark> ***If you could change one thing. What would you change?***
[00:33] "That's always a fun question..." Aria says with a small smile. "I won't lie... and say I wouldn't want to change anything... if I could have controlled my ability... then a lot of people wouldn't be hurt... or gone."
[00:34] <@Dark> ***And if you could contorl your natural state. Would you have stayed?***
[00:36] "I most likely would have... but then... I wouldn't have been able to become the person I am now... Besides... there's no point over crying over what could have been..."
[00:37] <@Dark> ***So it was a good thing?***
[00:40] Aria wipes her eyes before looking towards the disk of light. "Sometimes the most terrible of things... are what are best for you..."
[00:47] <@Dark> ***For every lose suffered, something is gained. And for everything gained, somthing is lost. This is the fact of things***
[00:48] Aria smiles weakly before nodding.
[00:49] <@Dark> The light grows and you look towards it
[00:50] <@Dark> ***This is for many the light to carry them on. A light which guides through the trials of pain towards the hope of a future***
[00:56] Aria walks towards it, unwavering in her determination to see this through.
[01:01] <@Dark> As you walk towards the light, you carnt help but feel like the lights on either side of you flicker as you pass. As you go, your shadow remains where it is, streatching out long behind you.
[01:04] Aria continues to move forward, anticipating what is going to happen as she continues to move forward.
[01:05] <@Dark> The light before you shimmers and something groans behind you and the sound of clicking echoes out around. The glass shudders as something large strieks the ground.
[01:07] Aria's eyes flick back out of habit to see the source of the noise.
[01:09] <@Dark> Your shadow has streatched out like a void, bubbling in its own shadows as something seems to seek to rise. All the lights from that half of the disc have shuddered and died leaving only the something to move.
[01:10] <@Dark> With a heavy thud, a pair of long, arachnid like legs rise from the shadow and slam aganst the floor. The glass spliters beaneath it and something strains to lift itself from the dark
[01:11] <@Dark> ***But you must be awear*** The voice warns ***The closer you get to your light....the greater your shadow becomes***
[01:12] <@Dark> Six more legs rise and crash against the ground, each causing a web of broken glass to sprea out beneath and the sound of a scream echoes out as the legs strain to free whatever is trapped beneath the surface of the shadow.
[01:13] Aria turns to face it as the veins in her hands begin to glimmer with a dull purple light.
[01:15] <@Dark> ***And no matter how much you accept about yourself...*** a dull wind begins to rise as the legs strain again, a large shape beginning to move below. The voice lowers in town and something begins to feel something horribly familier as it talks ***That shadow will always exist***
[01:16] <@Dark> The eigth legs finally give a final heave and the glass ground explodes as the great figure is finally revealed.
[01:17] <@Dark> ***And it is withing that shadow....YOU FIND YOURSELF!]
[01:18] <@Dark> At the centre of the meeting point of the eight legs, a huminoid face with slit eyes and a mouth sowed together lifts high into the air. THere is the sickening sound of snapping as the voice of the all too familer Darkness echoes around you and the binds stitched across the similierly familier face snap apart.
[01:19] <@Dark> With a screech of fear and pain that causes the very world to shake around you. The twisted parody of your face lets loose a blood curdiling screech
[01:19] Aria flinches back a bit as the glass explodes though she does not back down.
[01:22] <@Dark> On either side of the terrible image, snarling snake like whisps of smoke shift but do not take form as your apperation conintues to scream.
[01:23] <@Dark> [You can run from your past for an eternity...but so long as you live, you past will be with you]
[01:24] <@Dark> Lifting itself higher upon its legs, the screeching image of your mutilated face reaches a deafening pitch and, amid the cruel, heart tearing sound of the Darkness' laughter, the last of the glass shatters and you fall into the oblivion below with your shadow...
[01:24] <@Dark> *****END OF SESSSION*****
