"We're dead?" Nuriaya spoke silently wondering if it was a joke or how did they die, she got very sad then. 'Mother...Father...Mother's alone...' Nuriaya, if she was dead, never got the chance at marriage or having a child of her own. She died a virgin? Nuriaya fell to her knees unable to keep the illusions she was holding. It couldn't be true, could it? Surely Being dead was a possible future, surely they could earn their stay at life?

Ill
"That's nice." Mother said sincerely. "Where was this presence?"

Erik
He felt himself being drawn, before hitting a wall, a magic wall, he was blocked. Jak bounced off the ground, unmoving, as Erik felt his knee's skin get scraped off as he slid across the floor. "Oh my gods are you okay?" Serpe asked.

Nuri

Naed stood there, looking at Nuriaya with nothing in his eyes, but a simple rose began to grow near it, the petals black as night. "Take it."

Erik
Erik gritted his teeth and tried to smile in spite of all of this. "No, no I am not. We are completely and utterly trapped here." Erik told Serpe sadly.

Ill

"From the feel.... It was at the Dance Hall." Ill said drawing a horrible rendition of his mother. He aged the paper to dust and sighed. "I missed you mother..." He said.

Nuriaya took the rose, not wanting to offend Naed. She didn't know what would happen if she took such a thing but she held it and thought that her current white dress didn't seem to do just then.

Erik
Serpe frowned. "O-Oh god." He whimpered quietly. Jak wasn't moving, on the ground, his arms at awkward angles, his legs too.

Ill
Mother smiled. "And mommy missed y-" She said as she turned around. From the shadows a being struck, a man wreathed in shadows, his hand digging into Mother's neck, dashing her head against the ground, no attention to Ill.


Nuri
Calliope knelt down to comfort Nuriaya. "I'm sorry." She mumbled softly.

Maligus The Black

"Mothe-!" Ill said, choking on the words as he had the wind knocked out of him like he was punched. Power from an unknown source rushed into him, filling him and more importantly his head was full of emotions that he did not even know he could produce, and there was only one phrase in his mind, he knew it was a name.... His name? He looked at the Assassin, merely holding his hand up, his mother was dead. The woman who fed him and raised him from a child, killed by the one before him. "Wither." He said as a wave of clonk rushed forth, reducing all in its path to dust as a palpable wave of force left Maligus who was now free.



Erik

Erik looked at Jak, and nudged him. "Jak? Jak?! Wake up! Come on please wake up!" Erik pleaded.

"Why did he murder us? We did nothing to him..." Nuriaya whispered. That's when her sadness turned to determination, she threw away the black rose and instead changed her dress. No longer was it a white moonlight silver dress with sparkles. Instead as she stood up it was a mixture of white and blue each with . The White represented humility and purity, the blue represented the Unobtainable, the impossible to hold. The dress was in clear defiance of the God. A murderer, one she wouldn't serve. it was a mixture of blue and white. Blue roses lined her hair as her blue eyes pierced the gods. It wasn't an attack but an act of defiance.

Ill
The Assassin and the table and the wall was hit by the considerable clonk magic, withering to dust, slowly, so agonizingly slow, the assassin twisted in pain.

Erik
Jak didn't move, no movement, at all, none.

Nuriaya
Naed looked at Nuriaya with a impossible to read glance, before turning away from her.

Nuriaya looked up at Calliope and grabbed her hand to get the two of them off the stage. "So he murdered us, well I won't let him have our souls." Nuriaya spoke with a fierce determination.

Erik

Tears filled Erik's eyes and he held Jak's corpse close to him. "I'm sorry." he said simply. He began to cry fully, his breaths short and chaotic. It is all my fault Jak... He thought to himself.

Maligus he who has no past

Maligus held the witch's body close and called to the elements, speaking in a frenzy, she was dead and there would be no way to truly return her to life.... He called to the winds, the stones and forced his Magyn into the air around him to destroy this place and all its contents, a great wind began to rip through the home.

Robin bowed his head in respect- this was his god.

Erik
Serpe held Erik. "...I'm sorry." He mumbled quietly.

Maligus
The winds swirled and things were tossed around, things were turned to fire, turned wet, smashed to dust, the house soon came down upon him, a perfect circle of rubble around him and his mother.

Nuri
"A-are you sure he's killed.. us. How did he managed this, so swiftly?"

Robin
Alex startled. She was confused, why them, but she still crouched respectfully.

Erik

Erik began laughing softly, like he had finally snapped.

Malligus

Maligus made a pit in the ground and buried his mother, he was not as sad as one would expect. It was like this was just one more death in a lifetime full of them. "Goodbye mother." Maligus said as the last bit of earth covered the woman.

"Well he did tell us that we are all dead and we don't know it yet, doesn't that mean he killed us?" Nuriaya asked. "Where's Swono and Erik? We should find them!" Nuriaya spoke.

"W-we're d-dead a-alr-ready?!" Shéq exclaimed in a scared and sad tone. She was sad that she had left the two boys alone and have lost the only person who had cared for them since their father's death as well as caring for them in general.

With nothing more to do back at the cave, and no real life lessons to give to Jackie, Grah went exploring the woods with Jackie, hoping to find something interesting.

Grah
Grah felt a.. power, a strong energy emitting from someplace within the forest.

Erik
"O-Oay, you're.." Serpe mumbled, not sure what to do, trying to ply Erik away from Jak's dead corpse.

Robin
"What should we do?" Alex asked Robin, a bit nervous, more than a bit actually.

Nuri
"Why are you dragging me?" Calliope asked, Nuri could see Swono in the crowd, his face pale from horror

Everyone
Naed looked over them all, ants to him, yet.. some favoured ants. "I have noticed few of you have knowledge of me, I am Naed, god of assassins and Roses, and I am here, merely to make you into one of my spheres." He grinned. "And it isn't roses." A woman raised her hand, portly. "Why should we?"
"Excellent question." Naed answered "Because the gods wish for the assassin game to grow more chaotic, much more.. unpredictable."

"Apparently that," Robin said.

Shéq almost ended up crying. She didn't want to take part in murder and she didn't want to leave the two boys alone without anyone to care for them. "W-why u-us?" Shéq asked Naed in a scared tone.

Grah frowned and turned his head towards the source of the energy. Curiously sniffing the air, he pondered what could be causing this huge amount of power, and what it would be doing in the forest. If this was in the city, it would be understandable, but so deep in a forest? Motioning to Jackie to follow, Grah slowly followed the energy towards its source.

Maligus

Maligus simply lifted to the sky using his wind and flew aimlessly, searching for a place to put his mind together.

Erik

Erik took his dagger and stabbed it into Serpe's chest with his lightning fast movement, laughing at the sigh of blood. "Jak always loved the sight of that crimson liquid." He said sadistically.

Nuriaya looked from Swono to Calliope. "I'm sorry I didn't realize." Nuriaya let go of Calliope's hand.

She also looked for Swono too. "Swono...Swono over here." Nuriaya called, trying to get his attention.

Erik
His hand wavered and so only left a shallow wound. "What the fu-ck!" Serpe said, stepping back, his suit bloodied.

Nuriaya
Swono pushed through the crowd

Maligus & Grah
Grah saw a body fly into the air

Maligus saw a walking wolf and a pet mage.

Masquerade
"However.. if you are willing to examine what whispers I hear of rather ambitious killings going on, the master of Magyn, the Airship naval leader and the queen's own prince.. by one man in one night. Find this person, and you will of won my other given game, the game of chess, and he is already a few steps ahead of you."

"Do we know him?" Robin asked Alex, "I didn't even know there was a hit on the prince."

Grah stared at the body as it flew past, sniffing at it and checking if it was the source of the energy.
