Title: Invasion of Estolad
Description: No gods or guardians please!


Gammon - June 1, 2006 09:30 PM (GMT)
Gammon walked into Estolad, with a smile on his face, thinking of what the Dark Society was about to unleash on this peaceful village. He drew his axe, making everyone around him look at him in fear. He grabbed one of the villagers by the waist using his chains, and threw him into a nearby building, causing everyone to run in panic.

Zelris - June 1, 2006 09:48 PM (GMT)
Zelris had stopped in the village of Estolad again for the second time. It was a nice peaceful place and he enjoyed his last visit, but this time everyone was runningin fear. He heard screaming and the sounds of running people. Zelris had sensed a dark and evil pressence in the village. He further ventured into the village to find someone causeing all this chaos and mayham. The guy was pretty big and seemed to be a demon, but Zelris cared not as ventured foward to confront the guy.

Lord of death - June 1, 2006 09:53 PM (GMT)
Adrion walked up to gammon and said to him, "Gammon, my lord what do you want me to to?" he withdrew his katana and killed people that ran past him hoping that some of them were form the army he was looking for. he flew up waiting for gammon's answer when he saw someone hiding. he flew down, and tried to grab him so he can take him to gammon.

Zelris - June 1, 2006 10:14 PM (GMT)
Zelris was walking fowrad to stop this demon who was raiding the vilage and noticed someone else enter the scene, this guyhad wings and abody but the were all bones, even his wings. Zelris thought... what is this guy?

Zelris had over heard him say, "Gammon, my lord what do you want me to to?" Zelris thought... so this demon's name is Gammon and this skeleton thing is his henchman. The newcomer had killed every villager running by with his katana.He had then flew up into the and headed for a hidingvillager. Zelris quickly sored to the villager and landed inbetween them and stopped Gammon's man form grabbing the villager.

Lord of death - June 1, 2006 11:01 PM (GMT)
"Why! so bold of you, I think i'll take you to gammon myself instead of this villager. he'll be pleased by this." said adrion. he took his katana and said "Don't try to attack, all you'll do is scar my bones!!" then he luaghed.

Bad Wolf - June 2, 2006 12:11 PM (GMT)
The villagers were in utter panik, a man and a woman ran down a dark alleyway and stopped thinking they were safe.
"What now?" Asked the woman.
"They won't find us here" said the man "we'll be safe"
Neither of them looked behind them, so neither of them noticed a pair of purple eyes open in the shadows, the woman looked about and screamed, a black mist was floating towards them laughing.
"You cannot hide from the shadows, in the shadows" said Shadowcaster "now, how would you like to die?"
The woman turned and ran but was hit in the back by a powerful blast of enervation, she was thrown into a wall and her neck broke.
"Velaria! No!"
Shadowcaster laughed as the man turned to him raising both fists, he went to hit Shadowcaster but his fist just went straight through Shadowcaster who laughed.
"Fool, I am the shadows, you cannot touch pure evil" he said "for that is what I am created from"
The man was also thrown back by black lightning and landed dead next to his wife.
"They'll be so happy togetyher in hell" laughed Shadowcaster "for no coward accends to the heavens"
He glided about the viallage causing more terror alone than anything in Arda, seeing a sight like Shadowcaster was enough to frightned most people sensless. As he advanced on a small boy he turned and ran, Shadowcaster's eyes flashed breifly as he cast medusa eyes and the boy turned top stone, Shadowcaster smashed him to pieces with an enervation spell.
"Weclome to your deaths, mortals" he laughed "you've seen nothing yet, when I regain my body I shall take such vengence on this land that nothing shall remain standing, nothing!"
Gliding down beside Adrion and facing the half demon form of Zelris his evil smile increased.
"Well, what have we here? Something worthy to fight us it seems"
Shadowcaster cast fear trap deving into the man's mind and smiling.
"I know your fears, now face them"
Shadowcaster cast illusion on Zelris forcing him to see the hings he feared most.

Spyro - June 2, 2006 01:44 PM (GMT)
Spyro turned his head at the sound of fighting and ran to the source of the noise. As he turned a corner he saw something black whizz past him down the street. He turned to follow it and saw waht looked like a broken statue, but on closer inspection he discovered it was the shattered remains of a petrified child, this sunk so low into evil that Spyro could feel his anger boil inside him all smart assed coments forgotten. He charged after the shadow turning a corner and seeing it next to a winged skeleton facing a rauko. Spyro drew up beside Zelris with an angry look on his face.
"Hello, Shadowcaster" he spat "and I gather you're called Adrion? What the hell do you think you're doing? You have no right to invade a village like this, get out of here before I get really angry"
Spyro drew his silver wolf sword glaring at Shadowcaster for murdering a child.
"Let's see how brave you are when somebody stands up to you"

Shalura - June 2, 2006 01:54 PM (GMT)
Unfolding her wings Shalura soared high into the air looking down on the scene below her. SHe watched a tall demon slaughtering an innocent with chains, a skeletal figure and Shadowcaster murdering a helpless child. A tear dropped from her eye.
"Why" she muttered "what will they gain from this"
But there was still hope, Shalura saw Spyro persuing Shadowcaster and a rauko standing up to the other two. Shalura drew her staff smiling.
"Time to save the day" she grinned "one way or another"
She flipped over in mid air then dived at Gammon at full speed aiming to deliver a devistating blow to the head. As she dived the wind tugged at her clothes and hair as her speed increased. Shalura narrowed her eyes against the wind preparing for impact.

Scarlet - June 2, 2006 02:01 PM (GMT)
Looking down at the scene of chaos Shelurath summoned a copy of herself.
"Kill them all" she commanded it "leave none of them alive"
She cast bull's strangh and leaped up onto a rooftop to watch from there, it was then that she noticed Gammon facing a rauko and a half dragon along with Adrion and Shadowcaster. She then glanced up and with a satisfying smile saw Shalura diving to the scene. She ran along the the roof at full speed unfolding hjer wings and jumping high into the air. She intersepted Shalura, grabbed her and threw her hard down onto a rooftop, then she dived at her smashing her through the roof and causing the building to collapse, she threw off anydebri coming at her and cast anti magic field around herself and Shalura taking care to keep it away from Gammon and the rest. She looked down at Shalura smiling wickedly.
"Caught you at last" she said "time to die"
She raised her staff and prepared to strike.

The copy of Shelurath ran about the city killing anyone and everyone that got in her way, she looked up from the body of an old man to face a person not at all like the rest, this man was glad in armour and brandished a sword.

"Vile engine of evil" he said "die by my sword"
It lashed at Shelurath's copy, she leaped back spinning her staff enraged and cast bull's strangh, she ran at the man, disarmed him ,broke through his armour and broke his neck.
"None can withstand the powers of darkness"

Allura - June 2, 2006 02:12 PM (GMT)
Somebody bumped rudly past Sheith as she strode down the streets of the village. She looked up to see everybody paniking and out of control a look of pure fear on their faces. Sheith grabbed one passing her.
"What's happening?" she asked "why are you running?"
The man merely stuttered something about demons and a shadow and broke free of Sheith running off screaming. Sheith cursed and leaped up onto a roof drawing her katana and running along it casting thunder hammer and looking for the souce of the destruction. Ske skidded to a halt as the building infront of her was smashed down by a half dragon. She looked down noticing the shadow and the demon the man had beenb stuttering about and her face stiffened. They were pointlessely killing everything in sight, blocked by a half dragon and a rauko. Sheith dropped down silently behind Gammon and put her katana to the back of his neck.
"Get out of here!" she said her face livid.

Gammon - June 2, 2006 02:17 PM (GMT)
Gammon let out an evil laugh. "Do you think we will leave that easily?!" The chains on his suit knocked her sword away, and he spun around with his axe (which weighs over 250 lbs. for normal people), aiming to decapitate Sheith.

Allura - June 2, 2006 02:24 PM (GMT)
Sheith backflipped away as the axe swung at her and landed lightly on the ground out of Gammon's reach.
"Well that does complicate things" she sighed "but just remember big weapons count for nothing when you have skill on your side"
She then ran at full, and considerable, speed almost becoming a blur and speeding past Gammon and picking up her katana. She jumped and rebounded off a wall and landed infront of Gammon smiling, she raised her hand.
"Catch this big guy"
A lightning bolt flahsed from Sheith's hand and flashed out at Gammon stiking at point blank range. Sheith leaped back not wanting to get caught in the aftermath of her attack.
"I hope that childs toy of yours doesnt slow you down" she laughed "cause youve never seen anything as fast as I am"

Gammon - June 2, 2006 02:27 PM (GMT)
Gammon kneeled to the ground from the attack. He then slowly stood up and said, "You have some skill Drow. I'll give you that. But you can't do nothing when you have no hope of winning!" He casted Curse at Sheith, and prepared for another attack with his axe, wary of the others around him.

Zelris - June 2, 2006 03:23 PM (GMT)
Zelris faced of against Shadowcaster with Spyro. Shadowcaster had casted fear upon Zelris making him face all his worse fears, but the thing is Zelris couldn't face his fears for he had none and if he did he could not remeber. He lost his memeory so he had no fears he could remember. Zelris looked toward Shaodowcaster and said," That won't work on me, for i have no fears, or any memory of them if i did."

Zelris drew his Katana and prepared to fight Shadowcaster along side Spyro. Still loking at the enemy Zelris asked," Spyro, are you ready to fight this guy?" Zelris knew he would have to be careful for he was not that strong.

Allura - June 2, 2006 06:59 PM (GMT)
Sheith dropped backwards dropping her katana. She looked up at Gammon, but rather than fearing him ,she smiled and straightened up.
"Nice...Party trick" she said "but...I'm afraid that...As long as there is something to be done...I...Will not rest...Until it's done...Even when I have no hope....I stopped hoping a long time ago"
Sheith picked up her katana still feeling the effects of the curse spell but willing herself to block it.
"Come and get me" she panted "come and meet your killer"
She ran at him leaping high into the air and flipping aiming to slash Gammon's ugly face off with her katana which was still blazing with lightning.

Spyro - June 2, 2006 07:18 PM (GMT)
Spyro drew his sword and smiled evily at Shadowcaster.
"Nice plan" he said "hey mist boy, lets see how much you laugh when you're hit by dragonflame"
Spyro blew a spark into his hand and it grew into a fireball.
"Catch!"
Spyro threw the fireball forewards, it split into 3 seperate fireballs which orbited round each other leaving a snaking trail behind them.
"Time to burn!" Laughed Spyro.
He turned his head at the sound of an almighty crash and noticed that the building beside him had been completely destroyed.
"This is way too much!" he growled.

Gammon - June 2, 2006 07:46 PM (GMT)
Gammon snickered, and deflected her attack with his axe, blowing her back. "You know what? Why don't I kick it up a bit?" He started to breathe heavily, then started to grumble, and flames appeared in his eyes, and he was a little stronger. "Rage level one! Hope you like it!!" He bounded towards Sheith with rage in his eyes, and lifted his axe, aiming for a tremendous blow at Sheith.

Bad Wolf - June 2, 2006 07:54 PM (GMT)
Shadowcaster glided higher into the air away from Spyro's attack laughing.
"Didn't your mummy tell you never to play with fire?" he taunted "or are you intent on hurting yourself? Because that's the way things are going. Shimeraku!"
Skulls surrounded in green mist flew from within Shadowcaster's body laughing and flying straight at Spyro and Zelris.
"Enjoy a laugh do you Spyro? Well laugh this one off hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Spyro - June 2, 2006 08:22 PM (GMT)
he taunted [COLOR=purple]"or are you intent on hurting yourself? Because that's the way things are going. Shimeraku!"
Skulls surrounded in green mist flew from within Shadowcaster's body laughing and flying straight at Spyro and Zelris.
"Enjoy a laugh do you Spyro? Well laugh this one off hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Spyro leaped back dodging the laughing skulls and glared anrily up at Shadowcaster.
"Okay then" he said "so you want to fight dirty, fine by me"
Spyro kicked off and flew into the air rapidly after Shadowcaster. Fire began tailing behind him as two fireballs formed around his hands.
"I'm going to shut you up forever!"
Spyro flew straight at Shadowcaster, and went right through him then as quick as he could turned round, clashed his fireballs together and released them as a powerful fire blast hurtling towards Shadowcaster like flaming thunder.
"Fell the power of my father"

Zelris - June 2, 2006 09:59 PM (GMT)
Skulls surrounded in green mist flew from within Shadowcaster's body laughing and flying straight at Spyro and Zelris. Zelris had dodged the laughing skulls by flying high in the air, but Spyro jumped back. Spyro had setup his attack and flew straight for shadowcaster. "I'm going to shut you up forever!" Zelris watched on as Spyro flew straight through shadowcaster.
and then hurled two fireballs at him. Just incase it didn't work zelris began to cast a spell of his own.


aeroxdragon - June 3, 2006 06:08 AM (GMT)
he walks in on the seen and looks around slow he looks at shadow caster he looks at gammon he looks at all the dark society members. he walks to gammon and drops his hand on to his sword and looks at him in the eyes. " how pitiful how can they call you a leader i could never and i never will i might be a freind to mathius but to the dark society i am more i helped pay for the guild if it wasnt for me this guild wouldnt be here yet and yet here you go you power hungery fool already getting yourself into more then you can handle. i told you in the begening that i will leave if i dont not like the way things are going and well i do not like the way they are going." he tightens his jaw truns hard set and his knuckles truned white. he thinks back to his past on his planet where he has tryed so hard to keep his freinds alive and then theres this push over on another planet try to take it over just like the push overs on his planet. "now gammon it is time you learn your leason but before i do anything i will give you one chance...leave..that right leave and do not come back for get your conquest for it is already over you are hated by 2 gods and not to leave out all the other players gammon you are out number and you will leave now or you shall go to the grave."

Shalura - June 3, 2006 09:24 AM (GMT)
As Shalura dived for Gammon something caught her and flung her downwards, she looked up in time to see a black something smash into her devistating the roof the was on. She backflipped away from this assiliant looking about at the anti magic field surrounding her.
"Oh great" she muttered "now what am I going to do?"
She glanced up at her attacker, she looked almost identical to Shalura with the exeption of shorter red hair and black wings rather than blue wings.
"Shelurath?" She grimaced "why can't you just forget about Rhiaku for a change, I've got no plans of destroying anywhere now just leave me alone"
She looked upp at Spyro attacking Shadowcaster and then at a fallen angel threatening Gammon. Her gaze shifted back to Shelurath utter hate filling inside her.
"Okay, fine then" she said drawing her staff and spinning it in one hand "no magic, just me and you and our skills. Just keep in mind that you can't kill with a staff"
Shalura stealthily reashed into her cloak and pulled out four shuriken, then as quick as she could she flung them at Shelurath. She then followed them spinning her staff and jabbing it forewards aiming for Shelurath's face.

Scarlet - June 3, 2006 12:56 PM (GMT)
Shelurath's arms suddenly became covered in black scales, she raised them infront of her deflecting the shuriken and laughing.
"Ha" she said you'll have to do better than..."
She was cut short by a staff whacking her in the face and sending her toppling backwards. She landed hard in the debri, she glared up at Shalura.
"So, you want to fight dirty huh?" She said getting to her feet and scowling "well I can play dirty too"
She span her own staff in her hand and ran at Shalura, she leaped high into the air spinning it infront of her then swinging it over her head to hit down hard on Shalura with all her might of the bull's streangh spell (pre-cast) to slam down hard and break her skull clean in two.
"Take this!"

Shalura - June 3, 2006 01:01 PM (GMT)
Shalura's eyes widened in shock and she leaped back from the attack, the debri underneath Shelurath's attack was smashed completely to pieces and flung in every direction, Shalura covered her face as some of it flew at her. She looked up at Shelurath looking really angry.
"You have a very bad habit of getting on my nerves" she said "why the hell do you listen to Rhiaku anyway? What's he to you, just a great brute bossing you about and telling you what to do, just because you're a clone doesn't mean you don't have any rights, don't listen to him. He's evil!"
She leaped back again attempting to cast blur but remembering that there was an anti magic field about her wen it failed.
"Looks like I'll have to do this alone" she muttered "okay, let's see what you're made of"
She unfolded her wings leaping high into the air and diving down at Shelurath blowing out a huge fireball ahead of her and transforming into a full dragon.

Scarlet - June 3, 2006 01:44 PM (GMT)
Shelurath glared up as the blue dragon flew at her and a burst of fire blew from its mouth. Shelurath leaped backwards and the fireball hit the ground infront of her. She glared back up at Shalura.
"Don't think being a dragon will give you the advantage" she said.
She flew into the air opposite Shalura and turned into a black dragon identical to Shalura exept it was black and silver rather than blue and gold.
"Give up" she said "you're no match for me without your precious magic"
She blew a black fireball at Shalura and flew higher into the air before diving at her spreading tooth and claw for an attack.
"Dodge this smart ass"

Shalura - June 3, 2006 02:09 PM (GMT)
Shalura dived to dodge the fireball sent at her but part of it still singed her tail. She looked about flapping her wings to keep in the air. Shelurath appeared to have disappeared. Looking about in a confused way Shalura didn't notice Shelurath slam into her tearing with her talons and teeth, she ripped a nasty gash in Shalura side and she dived out of the ay and quickley accended, she tried to cast her healing spell but the anti magic field was still potent and provented her from doing so, instead she glared at Shelurath trying to ignore the throbbing pain in her side. She flew at Shelurath blasting out multiple fireballs at her in rage and going full pelt aiming to mimick Shelurath's attack with one of her own and tear off her wings. She overshot Shelurth dilebratly and began tearing at her exposed underside in rage blowing out more fire.

Gammon - June 3, 2006 10:29 PM (GMT)
Damn! Where is he?! I thought this would attract him! Gammon thought. He looked down at Aero and started to laugh. "You pathetic fool! Don't you realize we OUTPOWER all of you?!" He casted fear on Aero, then grabbed him with his chains, and started to squeeze tighter. He then turned to Sheith and said, "If you think you can save this pathetic town, then WHY DON'T YOU DO IT?!" He grabbed his axe again, and stepped towards Sheith, while continuing to tighten the chains' grip on Aero.

aeroxdragon - June 3, 2006 10:40 PM (GMT)
(( gammon the adims have already told you that you do not have the god damn chains you idoit i have reported you i hope you know that))
aero luaghs " well i guess i will. fear dosnt work for aero was never really afried of anything he's been alive to long seen to many things flexes breaking the chains (that you dont have) landing on the ground casting great agility and draws both swords " now gammon it is time you give up you know your only going to lose." he streachs his wings and flys up into the air then flods them falling in front of you and stabs your knee sending you flying head over heals and then stabs up word with his sword right into your lungs.

Gammon - June 3, 2006 10:50 PM (GMT)
((Aero, fear works on EVERYONE, no matter WHAT! I can beat you even without the chains! And you can't say you hit me. That's powerplaying. Even I don't do that! PWNED!!! :p ))

Gammon was REALLY starting to get angry. "You think angel scum like you can beat me so easily?! I was RAISED to hunt down and destroy angels, and now you're next!!!" Gammon grunted and started to breathe heavily as he grew stronger and faster. "You angels are going to be destroyed PERMANENTLY!!!" He raised his axe high above his head, and swiped at him in a downward diagonal swipe, with high speed and power.

aeroxdragon - June 3, 2006 10:59 PM (GMT)
having great agility on and having the feat combatreflexes he rolls out of the way taking flight into the air laughing "gammon your to easy you always think you can win even if you face a god you would say you can win but gammon to tell you the truth the only reason i payed for the guild was for mathius and not you now if you know whats good for you leave and never come back aero strechs and stays in the air thinking of his pasdt and all the battles he fought trying to think of someone so idoitic but he couldnt think of any. now he thought of all the past battle all the moves he has made all the moves of his enemies thinking to himself "this should help ive been out of battle for to long but it is time i get back into it." he looks up " oh yeah gammon by the way i usally dont believe in killing but ill give it to it for you, you will die in this battle if you do not leave."

Gammon - June 3, 2006 11:19 PM (GMT)
Gammon laughed. "ARE YOU SO COWARDLY YOU TAKE TO THE AIR TO FIGHT?! AND YOU CALL ME A COWARD!" He bellowed. He shook his head and said to Aero, "I'M A LITTLE DISSAPPOINTED IN YOU AERO. YOU WERE GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS! AND YOU THREW IT ALL AWAY! I FEEL KINDA BAD FOR YOU!" The air around Gammon started to swirl, lifting his cape up off the ground, and his eyes turned red and flaming. "THIS IS YOUR DEMISE AERO! FOR YOU AND ALL ANGELS! MALEBOLGIA WILL RISE AND ALONG WITH HIS ARMY TO DESTROY EVERYTHING GOOD!" The ground started to crack as he walked closer to Aero. "YOU WIN THIS ROUND FOOL, BUT NEXT TIME YOU WON'T BE SO LUCKY!" and just like that, he was gone.

Lord of death - June 4, 2006 12:25 AM (GMT)
(Sorry I didn't post. I do not know were everyone is right now so i'll just wing it.)

Adrion flew up and flew into the city and with his wings, he spreaded them out and with that, they killed anyone that was running away or torwards him. he took out his slingshot and he started to kill people by shooting them in their necks and heads hard enough so they would die from a concossion. soon a small band of missfits formed around him with swords and make shift armor. He said while laughing, "You mortals think you can kill me? I was killed over 5000 years ago and was rejected by the gods and will never be able to enter nither heaven nor hell. so get out of my way or you'll burn in hell like your parents will!" they didn't move so he put away his slingshot and he took out his katana and he started to kill each one with some speed. one tried to break his wing off by cutting it but adrion said, "You fool! You can't do this to me i need those to kill you!" he then threw him off and smashed his face in with his foot.

Zelris - June 4, 2006 01:37 AM (GMT)
Zelris noticed Adrion killing people across the village andknew he had to help somehow. He broke his attention away from Shadowcaster and headed for Adrion, leaving Spyro to deal with Shadowcaster. Zelris quickly sored acrossthe village to get to Adrion. Flying as fast as he could he quickly drew his katana and prepared for a highspeed downward slash. Adrion was still busy with the humansand he didn't seem to notice Zelris coming. Zelris flying at highspeed lifted his katana up over his head and swung it downward on Adrion

Lord of death - June 4, 2006 04:13 AM (GMT)
Adrion finished with the last human that tried to fight him. he then turned around in enough time to take his blade and block the new attackers blade. but the blade did cuase his bones to crack as if he popped his knuckles. "Ah, i see that you care about these useless mortals. they are worth nothing unless they are strong and make good things such as armor. or grow wings like us. but theres a diffrences between us. if you were to kill me, i would come back from the dead using soemone elses bones. so either you let me kill you now, or join the dark society." said adrion.

Zelris - June 4, 2006 06:27 AM (GMT)
Zelris looked at Adrion like he was crazy. He started to laugh," HAHAHAHA!! don't make me laugh I will never join the dark society. I don't care if you come back or not I'll kill you right now aslong as it gets you away from these people." Zelris used his great agaility to quickly get behind Adrion before he could even tell he had moved.

Zelris pushed of the ground and flew towards Adrion from behind and prepared to attack with his katana. "HAAA!! Take this!" Zelris yelled.

Spyro - June 4, 2006 10:16 AM (GMT)
As Aero joined the frey Spyro dropped to the ground grinning.
"Hey, you know what" he said "I think you're in over your head Gammon, look around, me, Zelris, Shalura, Sheith. Last time I checked we could defeat evil like" he snapped his fingers "that. And I can read your mind Gammon, I know exactly what you're going to do before you do it, face it you should just give up, and don't even bother cursing me. If you force my father out you'll be toast"
Spyro held his sword in one hand and formed a fireball in the other glaring teasingly at Gammon.
"Those little chains of yours? Exactly how hot do they have to be before they shatter"
Spyro raised his hand and fire began spreading round Gaammon's chains, they began to turn orange.
"Look out" he laughed "this is gonna hurt"
Then he threw several large fireballs at Gammon. They surrounded him and then drew in towards him.

Lord of death - June 8, 2006 06:42 PM (GMT)
Adrion saw that Zelris had disappered. he turned around and saw he was there trying to attack him. "You think that i am not smart enough to see you used that move againest me?" he said. he then used great agility as well and went up to the sky so that he could dodge the attack. he pulled out his sling and a spiked bullet and started to rapidly shoot them at Zelris.

Liara - June 10, 2006 05:51 AM (GMT)
Adrion's rocks disintegrated into dust mid flight. With out warning, the wind that Adrion was using to suspend himself in the air left, sending him falling to the ground. Several horses began to trot about and make noises. They sensed what the others could not. The animals had all become silent or fled. Dark clouds gathered above the city of Estolad. Lighting flashed across the sky, a warning of pending doom. The weather was beginning to show its anger as torrential rain was poured out from the looming thunderheads. Lighting flashed more frequently streaking across the sky and the ground reverberated with the echoing of the thunder as it replied to its lightning counter part.

The ground began to shake violently. Buildings fell to the ground as the few remaining citizens fled the city. Down the center of the city, the earth began to open itself. Flames erupted, shooting high into the sky, illuminating the thunderheads. Boiling magma rolled out of the crevasse that had just been formed and slowly made its way out into the city, eating everything in its path. In the middle of the flaming magma a figure could be seen rising up. Liara, Goddess of Nature, rose silently out of the earth. The lighting and thunder greeted the arrival of their mistress. She no longer wore her daily green robe. She was clad in a layered gold gown that grazed the top of the flames, but remained untouched. In her hand she held golden staff with a shining green emerald. The only other source of light aside from the lightning and flames. The light flared and Gammon appeared before her. The rains ceased and her voice echoed across the city. “Gammon Ocelot, Supreme Overlord of the Dark Society, prepare for your fate. Lothlomendil shall arrive shortly. The day of judgment is at hand.” The thunder rolled again. As the Goddess spoke, four fire elementals rose out of the flames around her and positioned themselves about the armored man. Liara wasn’t the lease bit worried about him escaping, but she didn’t want someone else to try and kill him. The golden gown billowed in the raging wind, her cold grey eyes drilled into the very dark recesses of Gammons soul. Liara’s austere appearance revealed nothing of her inner thoughts. Such blatant disregard for the hierarchy of Arda and its patron deities could not go un-detered. Mother Nature was angry, and someone was going to feel it.

Ita the Reckless - June 10, 2006 02:46 PM (GMT)
The sky over Estolad turned a bloody red color. The once puffy white clouds filling the sky became plagued by the blackness of divine wrath. Thunder rolled throughout the heavens and blue lightning shattered all other sounds. The sun became obscured and arcane energy weaved around the houses of Estolad and the attacking and defending people there. Two clusters of clouds parted and down descended a large armored figure. It sat in a chariot that rolled across the sky, using magic to keep it afloat. The rider whipped the reigns of two Chaos Beasts, whose paws glowed and left long trails of magic behind them. The chariot eventually touched down upon the dusty roads of the attacked city, landing directly behind Liara. The rider glanced in the goddess's direction and departed the aerial vehicle, the chariot disappearing in a puff of red smoke and letting the Chaos Beasts stand at their master's side.

Ita the Reckless stood with arms crossed, staring vehemently at Gammon. Her eyes flashed for a moment and thick red chains rose from the ground, entrapping Gammon and all other Dark Society members and preventing them from moving. The goddess wore armor of the same color as Liara's dress. It was pure gold, emanating its own judgemental aura. Ita's fur was pure white, but the flames that burned in the pits of her eyes were now blood red. The swift arcane winds that blew around the area caused the goddess's cape to whip around silently. The two Chaos Beasts stood on either side of her, growling at anyone who came close and just ready to maul an innocent (or guilty) person.

"Gammon Ocelot, Supreme Overlord of the Dark Society, I believe we have met." a booming, echoing voice sounded, although Ita's mouth never moved to say the words. She took a few steps forward, her boots clanking against the battered ground of the village. Each pace sent tremors through the earth. The malice in Ita's eyes grew with every passing moment. "When Lothlomendil arrives, I will put you in so much misery, you will beg for judgment to be cast upon your soul." With a swift one-armed motion, the lupine grasped the hilt of her axe and drew it, holding it in a threatening position just feet away from the Dark Society Leader's throat. Ita's lips curled into a snarl, baring her offwhite teeth that dripped in clear saliva. The Dark Society will pay for all the trouble they have caused her and the Pantheon, and she would be the person to punish their leader for his misdeeds.

Without thought or hesitation, Ita slashed Gammon diagonally across the face. Not too deep as to split his head in half, but deep enough to break through his mask and draw a great deal of blood. The smell of the crimson liquid met the goddess's sensitive nose, and her fury increased tenfold. She stepped on Gammon's chest with her heavy clawed boot, putting him in even less range of movement. Ita slammed her axe into the ground to free both her paws. Thrusting out both her hands, black and red lightning escaped and drained as much of his lifeforce as possible although still retaining him in an awareness of his pain. Lothlomendil had promised she would force him to live until the very end.

Ita took her foot off of Gammon and picked her Chaos Axe back up. She stared down at him with pinned back ears. With a large whoosh, the blade lit aflame, crackling in blue fire. The lupine raised her axe high in the air and brought it down upon the very place in which her foot once was, slicing a deep burning gash in Gammon's chest. The Chaos Beasts stood back and began to bark and growl in anticipation for their part in the torture. Ita sent all manner of elements at Gammon: columns of fire scorched any exposed skin and melted his armor into his body, razor-sharp hail pelted him, concentrated clouds of acid rain poured over him, lava flooded the ground, moonrocks battered and bruised him, Ita sent his limbs into spasm, a great solar wind burned his body, bones launched straight at him, and Ita wasn't even finished yet.

The lupine, golden armor now covered in Gammon's splattered blood, gave a sharp nod toward the Chaos Beasts. They eagerly trotted over and hovered over the guildmaster. One began ripping off pieces of armor Gammon was wearing. The other was already starting to rip chunks of flesh off, munching on them happily. Ita turned away from the tortured soul and looked up at a nearby hill. Just a few yards away was the Dark Society's fortress. As Gammon was being mutilated alive, bits of flesh missing and blood covering his whole body, Ita slowly lifted up her hand in the direction of the fortress. Her hand stiffened as she channeled magic through her body. And suddenly, she dropped her hand down as fast as falling rain, until it hit the ground. As fast as she had done so, the whole fortress imploded.

Dust and debris was thrown everywhere, sending a huge cloud in the direction of the fight. Ita only stood there, arms crossed and eyes unblinking, the wind blowing back her cape.

These were the final moments of the Dark Society's reign.

Lothlómendil - June 10, 2006 05:39 PM (GMT)
In an apocalyptic scene, the world around Estolad was ravaged with the vehement wrath of the gods. The trembling earth tore apart, bleeding fire from its deep veins as Liara the Herald emerged to issue an ominous decree. Her profound words sealed Gammon's fate, binding destiny to the consecrated curse upon his unworthy soul. With the end of the Herald's condemnation, a churning fire brewed in the sky, seething with the uncontrolled rage of Chaos. A chariot was roused from the tumultuous storm, bearing forth Ita the Punisher. At the feet of the Herald, the demon found himself bound by impenetrable chains as the Punisher swore to fulfill the wrath of the curse. As bound by destiny, Chaos at last unleashed her fury relentlessly, carrying out her brutal discipline to serve as an unwilling penance for his sins.

A pulsing cloud of icy blue storm streaked across the blackened sky, leaving a visible trail of glimmering frost in its wake that hung in the sky like a shining stardust. Within the storm, a white-hot holy fire surged like lightning wishing to lash out at the earth, teeming and ready to strike. Touching to the ground the icy storm dissipated and before the fallen demon stood Lothlómendil, the Executioner, magical energy flowing from her clenched fists into the surrounding darkened air. The Punisher had stepped aside, and fate held its breath as time stood still for the Executioner. The merciless goddess preserved Gammon's life as Chaos punished him, ensuring that he felt every torturous blow and was still alive to see his impending doom. She was clad in gold like the two deities before her, a top and skirt with a flowing cloak that opened in the front. She wore no armor, the only one here in need of protection was Gammon, and there was no one to save him.

The earth bent as the Executioner commanded it, and the ground groaned beneath the goddess and the demon, rising up like a pedestal for all to see. The goddess looked down at the broken form of the demon that had terrorized Arda long enough, emotionless. His eyes were closed in suffering as he hovered at the border of death, only alive because she had preserved him. Though solemn, her voice boomed with her command as she spoke. "Gammon Ocelot, open your eyes and see your end!" His eyes snapped open against his will, and the site before him filled his very fiber with a god-fearing terror that he had never known. The golden glow of the goddess' eyes smoldered and shined with a searing light that no mortal had ever seen; no pupils were visible in the endless orbs that could no longer hide the power behind them.

The Executioner reached forward and plunged her hand into the demon's chest, and from it tore Gammon's imprecated soul from his living body. A ghoulish shriek of agony escaped from the demon's tortured soul and reverberated through the air, but it was quickly extinguished and left only an echo ringing in the ears of those still chained to the earth bearing witness. Holding the shining energy in her hand, she spoke one last time. "Shadow demon of the Dark Society, you are hereby banished from the realm of Arda and damned to the Hall of the Dead for all of eternity." The goddess leapt powerfully into the air, crushing his soul in her inescapable grasp as she tore off into the sky again with the soul, the air screaming as she cut through it like a knife. Soaring across Salquedor to the southern lands where the Temple of Life was found, in almost an instant the goddess arrived at the Hall of the Dead.

Lothlómendil halted at the entrance to the Hall of the Dead where all were forbidden to pass, and the imperial archangels that tirelessly guarded it stepped aside unquestioningly, humbled by her wrath. The soul of Gammon in her right hand, she raised her left hand and the doors of the hall opened explosively, revealing the swirling black ambiance that lay behind them. Holding her clenched fist out in offering to the vortex, with a powerful flick of the wrist she expelled the demon's soul from her grasp. The shimmering light of Gammon's soul was snuffed out as it was pulled into the maelstrom, where he would be held in unremitting damnation until the end of time.

So ended Gammon Ocelot, the Disparaged.
