[Noctis Lucis Caelum|Cave|1:45 AM] Noctis drew his sword as all hell broke loose infront of him.He sighed as he saw dead bodies everywhere. Face your fears.. "What the hell?!" he said as a Cold one went towards him and his hand thrusted his sword square in the chest and the sword tip burned the body.The flame was purple. "Flames? Purple Flames?Who-?Where are you?!" he said as he looked at the body. I am always here. Noctis dropped his sword and closed his eyes and fell to the floor. ![]() |

Amand Faustus l Knightmares HQ Amand was sitting in a badly light room in Alexanderson's head quarters. A Knightmare sat across from him with little expression on his face. "Why am I here again?" Amand asked the emotionless solider. He buried his face in his hands, "You know never mind, it doesn't really matter why I am here. All that matters is your promise not to hurt Anke." Amand sighed and leaned his head back against the wall. He didn't care what these people were going to do to the others, but if they hurt his sister they would pay for it seriously. They didn't know what kind of a force they were dealing with. They had gladly accepted him into the Knightmares, and Anke had more talent than himself and their father combined. She had sadly been cured to her condition. Anke Faustus l Inside the ring of fire Vincent walked into the ring of fire and crossed over to Anke and Vivian. "Stop what you're doing when you feel you're about to hit your limit. No need to push yourself so hard against a few empty husks." he whispered in Ankes ears. He turned to Vivian, "And you should make sure she follows that advice. Somebody has to look out for her after all." "And it's not like I'm a role model when it comes to not endangering oneself." Anke felt like blushing, but her blood vessels were too cold to move the blood to her cheeks and she thanked the cold air for that. She turned her attention from Vincent to Aeon and smiled. He really was working up some spell over there. "I'll be alright for a while more." Anke whispered back, returning her gaze to Vincent. Holding down a whole army of Cold Ones would be quite the task for anyone else, but the only set back Anke had was her heart. As long as she kept her heart rate steady she could go on forever. After all she was the cursed twin. The Faustus child destine to be the most powerful dark magician, but at the same time one of the weakest beings on the planet. |

Fenris [Forest] Fenris was a bit startled when Anke yelled him to stop, he had felled a few when Anke stepped in front of him and gave him her weapon and told to to use it for now. Fenris looked at the delicate weapon and then looked around the area the Cold ones he had shattered were starting to reconstruct themselves, as expected. Fenris stuck the Vajra into the ground and smiled at Anke. Fenris: I know that delicate magic is the most efficient way to deal with Cold ones, it's just not my way. Fenris stepped outside the ring of fake fire Vivian had made and started gathering his magical powers. Fenris: Let me show you my way, the way of the Fang. Fenris had gathered considerable amounts of wind and ice magics within his left and right hand respectively. He lifted his left hand into the air. Fenris: The trapping wind of legends! Reverse Wind Vortex! A small epicenter appeared in the air above Fenris open palm, it started drawing the bits of the Cold ones Fenris had destroyed towards it's center, when all the scattered pieces had gathered Fenris lifted his right hand to touch the mass of Cold one bits. Fenris: The cold from northern hell! Asaheim's Frost! The mass froze into a single large ball which Fenris lowered into the ground. Fenris then collected raw magical energy transferring it into his hammer. Fenris: The bringer of ruin! Hammer of Titans! Fenris brought his hammer down on the ball in front of him, completely disintegrating it and anything it held inside. He then let out a howl that made the other's hairs stand on end as there seemed to be more than one voice in it. Fenris then stepped back to the circle, grinning wildly. Fenris: That's how we do it at the Fang. Well to be honest it probably uses more energy than the other method, but I haven't found anybody willing to teach me the other method, so this is what I'll use. |

Aeon | Forest It was done. The draconic spell that took him near 15 minutes to gather the energy for. One of his two spells that were effective against the undead. "You may want to vacate the area." Aeon said to the others around him. "Just try to enjoy the light show" he commented as he dropped his staff beside him and started to gather the energy in a hand held to the sky. "restev di ioth mitne!" Aeon shouted as the white light flew towards the sky and when it reached a satisfactory point he closed his hand and shouted "oposs di wer socaril!". These words cause the light to explode, causing several smaller beams to hit a large area - the area where the Cold Ones were held. After picking up his staff, he finished the spell saying "qe valignata ini socaril ixen". The Cold Ones who had been hit by the beams of light now burst into flames, and burned into nothing. "I'm done for now, gotta go charge my batteries" Aeon told the others "too much magic and not enough sleep". Three large spells as well as testing out teleporting really took a toll on him, he would have to get some rest before he could cast anything else. Ooc: The spells mean pillar of holy light, rain of the divine and be burned by divine fire respectively. |

Anke Anke watched as Fenris and Aeon respectively used their magic to destroy the rest of the cold ones. She held them to their spots as the magic was released upon them and gave the last detrimental blow at just the right time. "Sagen dein hertz." She whispered as the two released their magic. It was a final spell that allowed the souls of the people to return to the realm of the dead. Unfortunately parting thousands of souls really did strain one's energy. It is a connection only those bound to death can make and break. Necromancers are known to be able to contact dead spirits and release them, but it is one of the most demanding arts in dark magic. Anke lowered her hands and fell forward onto her knees. She was breathing deeply and clutching her chest. "Thank you for using magic, because when you time it carefully you are able to release the souls of the dead. I only wish this all could have been prevented" she panted out a final explanation. Then fell silent just trying to catch her breath and slow her heart rate. Her hip length hair pooled around her and her pink eyes were down cast. An expression of pain covered her face. It would be hard to hide her condition from the others now. Hopefully Vivian and Vincent could help her with a cover story later on. "Who ever was behind that technique must be strong." Anke struggled to whisper, "we should really find out who is behind this." |

[Cave] Vincent knelt down beside Anke, before addressing the others. "We should find somewhere to rest for a while. I seem to have accidentally struck Anke with one of my non-lethal attacks during my careless fighting, she's going to need a bit of rest before the pain subsides." He thought to himself as he watched her try to compose herself. 'I guess the least I could do after offending her with that comment yesterday is to keep her secret safe.' Vincent's thoughts paused for a few seconds, he then put his hand on Anke's shoulder. "I apologize about that, I should be more careful of my allies when fighting like that." 'I'm getting too friendly with some members of this group. This is going to be problematic at some point, I can feel it.' he thought. |

Anke l Cave Vincent had knelt down beside her, and provided her with the cover story she had been praying for. "We should find somewhere to rest for a while. I seem to have accidentally struck Anke with one of my non-lethal attacks during my careless fighting, she's going to need a bit of rest before the pain subsides." He put a hand on her shoulder. "I apologize about that, I should be more careful of my allies when fighting like that." Anke lifted her head up to look at him, though it took some difficulty. "Don't worry about it, we can all be a little desperate in battle." she replied playing along with the lie. "Thank you." she whispered in his ear. She tried to lift herself up onto her feet, but it wasn't possible, her chest screamed it's protests. "However I'm sorry to say I don't think I'll be able to walk for a little bit." |

[Cave][1:45 AM] Vincent walked over to where Anke and Vivian were standing. "Shouldn't be much longer you two. Aeon seems to be charging up something fierce over there, and we can handle any stragglers." He said. He then turned to Anke. "Stop what you're doing when you feel you're about to hit your limit. No need to push yourself so hard against a few empty husks." He whispered to her. "And you should make sure she follows that advice. Somebody has to look out for her after all. And it's not like I'm a role model when it comes to not endangering oneself." He said to Vivian. "I'll be alright for a while more." Anke replied to him. "Don't worry Vincent, I will be here to make sure Anke is all right." Vivian said to him. A few minutes after their little 'chat', Fenris and Aeon both used some pretty powerful spells to take out the Cold Ones. Anke released her spell, and Vivian did the same as well. She looked like she was a bit beat, but Vivian thought she would be okay. That was, until she fell to her knees. "Who ever was behind that technique must be strong; we should really find out who is behind this." Anke whispered while trying to catch her breath. Vivian just knelt down beside her friend, along with Vincent. "We should find somewhere to rest for a while. I seem to have accidentally struck Anke with one of my non-lethal attacks during my careless fighting, she's going to need a bit of rest before the pain subsides. I apologize about that, I should be more careful of my allies when fighting like that." Vincent said to her. Vivian understood what he meant; he was trying to cover up the real reason why Anke was having a hard time. "Don't worry about it, we can all be a little desperate in battle." She said to him. She then leaned in to his ear and whispered something to him. "However I'm sorry to say I don't think I'll be able to walk for a little bit." Anke said. "Don't worry Anke!" Vivian cheerfully said. This is when one of her skills would some in handy. She took out Picasso, and said a few words as a blue beam came out, and she formed an ice clone of Anke. "Let's have this one carry you! I'm sorry if it's a little cold, after all, it is an ice clone." Vivian said as the clone went over, picked up Anke and carried her piggyback style. ![]() |

Cave Entrance Fenris was surveying their surroundings when he realised something. Fenris: Hey! Has anyone seen Noctis? He looked around and listened, he couldn't hear any footsteps in the near vicinity other than those of his friends behind him he coulsn't see anything out of ordinary either. Fenris: I'm going to... As Fenris was speaking his senses suddenly went berserk, he could hear the heartbeats of the others, Anke's was a bit erratic, their speaking even at this distance hurt his ears, his nose was flooded with sensations so intense that they caused physical pain and he could see in the night as clear as day. Fenris: This isn't good... Fenris let out a howl of pain that echoed through the forest, from the distance a howling of wolves could be heard. Then he fell to the ground, unconscious. |

[In front of Cave][1:55 AM] Fenris walked over to where Vincent, Anke, and Vivian were. "Hey! Has anyone seen Noctis?" he called out as he came over. He made her think of him; he did dissappear around the time when the Cold Ones came. "I'm going to..." he started, but then he stopped. He just kinda stood there, spacing out; like he was in another world. "This isn't good..." he said. He then let out a blood-curling howl, and fell to the ground. "Fenris!" Vivian exclaimed. She ran over to him, and knelt down to see if he as alright. "He's... unconscious..." Vivian said. She turned to Vincent. "What should we do?" We have no idea where Noctis or Shiroyuki might be, and Fenris is here unconscious..." She started to say to him. 'What should we do?' she thought, 'Here we are, with half of the members of our little "group" either unconsious, missing in action, or hurt... And then Aeon is kind weak as well...' She then had an idea. "Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but we need to be on the move. Despite whatever happened to Fenris, Noctis, and Shiroyuki, we need to leave. Who ever launched this attack might come to attack us again... How about we go into the deserted town up ahead? Or maybe even your home, Anke?" She asked them. She had heard Anke talk about her home being only two hours away from where they were currently at. ![]() |

[Cave] "Calm down, you're starting to look frantic. The town is closer, and although it is now deserted, the buildings and supplies are still useful. We should make our way there." He took a deep breath, and then released it as he stretched again. "There's no need to worry about it so much. I'm more than capable of handling our protection for the time being. Unlike the rest of you, I've been reserving my strength up until now, rather than engaging everything head on. Of course, engaging them head on has gotten us this far, so it's not as though it was useless to do so." He looked down at Fenris. "How are we going to get him to the town exactly? He's a bit bigger than Anke to say the least." 'I really got myself in deep didn't I? Half the group is missing, the other half are out of commission, and another one of those cloaked guys is out there tearing up villages. Why is it always me?' |

Anke Anke didn't really mind the cold, what got on her was the fact that she was being carried around by herself. Which by anyone's standards might feel a tad bit odd. Anke just wanted to get off the cool copy of herself, but she knew she had no strength. Fenris walked over to the group. "Hey, has anyone seen Noctis?" He just sort of stood there then said "I'm going to... This isn't good." He was off in his own little world for a second, which was not very Fenris-like. Anke understood why when he let out a howl of pain and fell to the ground. He pushed up a little bit of the tick snow cover under his weight. Anke heard the wolves in the forest howl back. 'Uh oh.' she though, figuring that they may have a pack of wolves on their hands in a few moments. Anke stayed quite trying to confirm her suspicion before voicing it. "Fenris!" Vivian excliamed running over to him, "He is unconscious!" she said turning to Vincent. "What should we do?" We have no idea where Noctis or Shiroyuki might be, and Fenris is here unconscious..." Vivian fell quite for a moment then spoke up again, "Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but we need to be on the move. Despite whatever happened to Fenris, Noctis, and Shiroyuki, we need to leave. Who ever launched this attack might come to attack us again... How about we go into the deserted town up ahead? Or maybe even your home, Anke?" "Calm down, you're starting to look frantic. The town is closer, and although it is now deserted, the buildings and supplies are still useful. We should make our way there." Vincent retorted before Anke could suggest anything. "There's no need to worry about it so much. I'm more than capable of handling our protection for the time being. Unlike the rest of you, I've been reserving my strength up until now, rather than engaging everything head on. Of course, engaging them head on has gotten us this far, so it's not as though it was useless to do so." he said after sighing. Then he added, "How are we going to get him to the town exactly? He's a bit bigger than Anke to say the least." Anke smiled "Understatement of the year Vincent." Anke was a feather weight compared to Fenris. Despite her height Anke was pretty much a feather weight when compared to anyone. He condition did that to her. "I believe we should leave Fenris here." Anke looked at Vivian, "Let me finish before you have a heart attack." she gazed down for a second, "that's my job anyway." she added to the heart attack comment. "There is a rather large pack of wolves headed our way. They will take Fenris in as their kind. Or at least I think they will." She looked back up, "no matter what, the tree of us will be a wolves pray and need to get out of here." "Also I agree with Vincent, let's go to the town. All the resources there should be at our disposal. "Besides, I believe the person behind that attack may be a member of my household. Or at least I'm positive they know where it is. That attack was geared towards me. They know I'm a weak link. If we return to my house now, they'll be there waiting. Just to prevent me from getting the medicine I'll be needing." |

Vivian furrowed her brow a bit, taking it all in. "Yes... we should head into town... However, we may be facing some dangers in the town, but I am willing to take that risk..." Vivian said. She walked forward a few steps. "So, we should get going." She said. She looked down at Fenris. "Before the wolves eat us." She added. ![]() |

[Cave] Vincent was nudging Fenris with his foot slightly. "If that's what you really want to do then it's alright with me. Just so you know however, I accept no responsibility for this plan if he ends up as wolf chow." He looked over to Aeon. "What about you? Think you can manage to walk to the village?" |

[Noctis Lucis Caelum|Cave|2:00 AM] Noctis slowly stood up,his vision still a bit blurry. "What the hell just happened?" he said as he shook his head clear.The group was tending to the wounded and Shiroyuki was gone yet again. Walking slowly,he picked up his sword and went out of the cave.He missed the action,being the first one to be incapacitated by something.He looked around and saw a massive shape looming towards them. "Great." he said as he gathered all of his unused energy and gathering it into a big black ball. "Do undead and Gravity mix well?" he shouted to Anke but he saw the Giant undead thing was near enough to see it.It was a stitched-together type of monster.Or rather an abomination. "Man,that looks painful.Lemme relieve you of it." he said as he pointed towards the sky and the black ball glowed purple and markings appeared on the sphere.Then slowly,but gaining speed steadily,the ball plummeted towards the abomination and when it hit,the surroundings glowed white and no explosion was heard.Then as quickly as it came the thing was gone but there was a huge crater where it last stood. Breathing hard,Noctis turned towards the group."So what do we do now?" he asked them as he sat down on the cave floor. ___________________________________________________________________________ [Knightmare HQ] The Knightmare looked at Amand and shook his head.The pulled the hood back and looked at Amand.He had ice-blue eyes and had jet black hair.He stood up and conjured a sword in his hand and pointed it at Amands neck "Are you even trying?Or do you want me to end her life?" he said to him ![]() |

Aeon | Cave Having no magical energy was an abnormal sensation for Aeon. Normally he didn't use that much power. "Those ancient Draconic spells really take a lot out of you" he though to himself, "got to remember to keep those to a minimum" He stretched his arm out and looked at the seal "could gain energy back with this still" he though, but then shook his head. That wasn't an option, releasing 1 level of the seal is dangerous enough, let alone 2 or more. He looked up briefly and saw Vincent look at him before saying "What about you? Think you can manage to walk to the village?" "Of course" Aeon replied, "I just used magical energy, so I'm a bit tired, but physically I'm just fine." Aeon said as Noctis came into the cave. "So what do we do now?" Noctis asked as he sat on the cave floor. "Heading to the village that those Cold Ones used to call home. We need food and someplace to sleep. It may also provide us with somewhere to hide in case we are attacked again" Aeon commented, then motioned towards Fenris "though we may have to leave him here, hes too big to carry, especially in our current state." |

Amand l Knightmares Amand looked from the sword point to the man holding it and back again. "Look I'm not as strong as she is, but the wave I sent them should have been enough to put her out of action for a few days." Amand said shrugging. He watched the tip of the sword scratch into his skin. A single drop of blood fell from his skin. He would use it later when the Knightmare dropped his guard a little more. If he got the chance that is. "You see unlike my sister, I can only do basic Necromancy. I can only control dead things. She however can control the living, I'm guessing that's why you want her out of the battle." Amand was glad his sister was surrounded by strong partners. Because her condition got the better of her. She was strong when stacked up against all other necromancers, but weak when compared to a few of her partners. No wonder Alexanderson was so interested in them. "You know I can't imagine you'd have an easy time killing her. When she makes friends she makes excellent choices. They may not be aware of her condition, but they've been with her long enough to know that she reaches her limits quickly." He paused a second and looked into the bright blue eyes. "I doubt they let her walk into battle with the cold ones. I'm positive someone else tired to take them down before she stopped them. Unfortunately she is the only one who can part their souls and keep them from returning. She will be sufficiently worn out, and in need of medicine." "So basically I've done what you asked me too. She'll be sure to show up at our house as promised. There you can take the rest but leave her as promised." |

[Cave] Vincent went over to the mouth of the cave and leaned against the wall, unfazed by Noctis's sudden return. "Well we had decided on going in to the village and attempting to rest there, but whether or not we do that now that your back is entirely up to you, Mr. Leader." Vincent stretched once more, groaning a little as he did so. "Anke's house or the empty village that's probably still littered with dead bodies. Regardless of what choice you make, please just choose quickly, I'm getting very tired, and I seem to be the only one left that can fight at full strength." |

[Dreamworld] Fenris awoke on a mountain side even though a wind was blowing hard he did not feel cold there was only a sense of purpose. Little ways of he saw Blackmane feasting on felled deer. Fenris waited for him to finish his meal. In the meantime he surveyed his surroundings. He was on a mountain range which didn't exist in the real world it was too vast to fit anywhere, yet here amongst the dreams it was real. Blackmane finished eating and he seemed surprised to see Fenris. Blackmane: How are you here, young one? Fenris: I do not know. My senses went crazy and I fell unconscious from the pain and awoke here. Blackmane: 'tis really so? Do you know why this is happening? Fenris: I do not. Blackmane sighed deeply which was oddly humanlike response from him. Blackmane: So much lost to the ages... Blackmane fixed his golden eyes on Fenris. Blackmane: Listen well, young one, your senses are sharpening and when you wake you will have lost one of your senses. This is only temporary as the old blood reacts with your spirit. Fenris: Old blood? Blackmane: You will know in time. Now let us hunt together and when were finished you shall awaken. |

Aeon | Cave Aeon yawned. They were getting nowhere by waiting, which was a problem that the group consistantly seemed to have. "I'm going to head into the town to find some food and a place to sleep. I'll be able to find you guys based on those stones that Fenris gave out earlier, so I'll catch up if you choose to go somewhere else. Right now, though, I need to find some place relatively safe to get some rest." After saying that Aeon turned to leave the cave "those who want to come with me are free to, I would feel more comfortable with more, anyways." He said as he left the cave and started walking towards the abandoned town. |
