Consequences (Event)

[Triton Augustus]

The structure around them shook, before peace fell upon it all. The chaos had left them. Was there a cost?

The islander saw a shimmer from the outside world. Triton forth stood and gazed upon the world before him.

[Soni Vox]

Soni vanished.

[Cecelia Riddel]

It felt like she was floating, watching from some far away place as Cecelia took in the devastation. Her leaders dead and turned to dust. Her guard and the few she considered a friend looking like she also wasn't far behind. Whatever had caused this, they were the last few remnants of home she could see.

What about the rest?

There would be time for that later. Other nobles still moved and breathe, gathering themselves as she reached into a small pouch, her slender fingers closing around a small portion of plastic that crinkled in her light grasp.

She had exactly two.

"Lord Val, I have something if you need for her."  Nodding at Lady Angelonia, she pulled out two brightly colored packets of candy.  It was said to have healing properties, and she didn't know what Val might have on him on his own, because a lady did not ask a gentleman what was in his pocket.

Heedless of the dust that now clung to her skirt, Celia knelt beside her royal guard, opening  a cnady packet and giving it to Zola, using the wrapper as a barrier between them to do it herself if the royal guard didn't have the strength to do so\.

"Eat this."

Protaween Snacks! - These odd candy treats get shoveled into your mouth by the handfuls returning half the persons Qi uses and heals half the damage they have taken.

[Avalon Salabim]

Avalon let out a startled noise as her brother grabbed her, the sound turning to dismay as Simon left and Rowan shielded her. hse couldn't say she was surprised, but there was no arguing between them. She just hoped her older brothers would be okay, because now the world had gone still and most of the people they knew were gone. Asiv was dead. Other powerful people were, though there were other nobles scattered in the room.

"Please let go, Rowan." Stepping away from her brother, Avalon's hands unconsciously ran over her skirt in a moment to gather whatever semblance of dignity there was as she took in the scene around them.  The blood drained fro her face as she stood there in shock for a few moments before shaking herself out of it.  There wasn't even anything left of most of the victims.

"If Simon's going to go out, let's at least help those here and prepare for the others."  The words were soft and faint when they finally worked themselves around the knot in her throat. Wherever Preston was, she had to trust that their oldest brother was alright and could take care of himself as he always did. Like he reminded her. It was one of the reasons she looked up to him so much.

[Pride]

There was a lot that Pride did not understand about what was going on, and about the world at large. He had a simple view of the world and how it worked. Some things were right, others were wrong. People made things too complicated and roundabout he felt, but this. This was simple.

"Get ready to grab him."

And with that Pride would throw Stigma at the flying man while he went to tackle for him, grabbing for his leg. A bolt of Chaos energy erupting from Pride's shoulder to fire upward toward the man's dick.

Let's do this together old friend. I wouldn't have made it this far without you.

Qi use 2/29

Bloodline 0 Level: Chaos Energy: The purest form of destruction. Pride is able to fire chaos energy from himself doing 150% his energy in damage. If there are Qi defenses in the way the chaos energy dismantles it and pierce's items doing damage as if the target only has it's base Def stat.
Bracelet of The Moon Drifter (+2 Attack, +2 Energy) - Up to two times be thread, Joy can increase the output of a single Qi effect to an additional 100% of original effect. If an effect gives her +5 attack, for instance, it would increase that by an additional +5

Chaos bolt energy 183

[Valerian Blackburn]

The concern on Valerian's face turns to embarrassment as Ceceilia offers her candies, and he quickly shakes his head, pulling out his own.

"Hold on to yours, I have plenty. Someone else might need them while I'm not around."

He offers his own packet to Angelonia, helping to unwrap it for her.

Using Protaween Snacks x1

Protaween Snacks! - These odd candy treats get shoveled into your mouth by the handfuls returning half the persons Qi uses and heals half the damage they have taken.

[Cillian McWolfe]

Cillian couldn't sense the energy shifting, but he could see that things had calmed down. Whatever had been going on was over, or so it seemed. Cautiously he let the sword vanish and he lowered his shield. Glancing back at Brianna, feeling her hand on his shoulder, sparing her a small smile before raising his voice for those around.

"Is everyone alive okay? Is anyone hurt?"

[Stigma Wyatt]

"Understood!"

As she was launched, Stigma would unleash the energy from her mouth in an effort to create another distraction as she aimed to grab his right arm! Once latched on she'd use her free fist to punch him in the side of the face!

[Rowan]

Rowan would let go of her, having fulfilled whatever unspoken promise he had made with Simon. Now that everything had come to a halt, she was free to do whatever she wished.

"Please do what you can in my stead." He'd say, sounding far more serious than usual as he hurried away.

There was no mistaking the spell that was cast. If he could just follow where it originated...he could find his brother. He was sure of it.

Rowan would hurry off to find him, rationalizing that there may be others in need of assistance with him. If Preston went through anything most of the leaders had gone through, then he might not be able to further help anyone.

[Joy]

"Ride's over. Get ready to follow." Joy could feel the power that lent her the extra limbs, speed, and wings fading even when the strange energy drain she felt had passed. This was their chance. Their choice.

She tossed Thorn towards the man with the flowing hair, trusting he would be able to follow suit as her monster arm rippled and formed, still painful as ever but as familiar as instinct or breathing to her now.

"I only see one fool."  She grabbed one o fthe man's arms and slammed her fist into his face!

'This is for home.

[Simon Salabim]

Simon steps around those who are injured, looking around for signs of any further attackers.

When there are none, he makes his way lower in the building, considering everyone else was heading outside. Maybe there were further clues downstairs.

[Brianna Valdyr]

Brianna's hand was very much on Cillian's shoulder for support. Between his body blocking and her headache, she needed the extra support, but as the chaos faded, she had the chance to look around, frowning at how much weaker the signatures left were and how difficult it was to distinctly make out energy like she normally could. But when her left eye returned to normal, ti was just as useful. She turned her ability on again to test it, trying to look for the faintest energies that showed they needed help first.

"Thanks, partner," she murmured to the knight. Wherever those most injured or in need were, she would follow. She knew Cillian would have their back.


_______________


Zero Ability: Aura Sight – When activated, Brianna can see the energy of the natural world and those in it, as well as their compared strengths. This gives her a general idea without exact numbers, and anything lacking even basic life energy appears as a blank void or blot in her vision. (+10 PER, +10 ENG)

3/15

[Preston Salabim]

Preston gripped his staff as tight as he could to stay upright.  Relying only the knowledge that he was consciously telling his hand to squeeze tighter because he could no longer feel the staff in his hand, nor could he see the world around him.  Not in the physical sense.  The energy around him was all that he had to guide himself as he found himself nearly alone now in the room.  The soul of the so called Dragon had not been consumed, which meant he had survived the ordeal as well.  Though without feeling a strong sense from him, Preston could only assume he was in about as terrible shape as Preston himself was.

Every breath was agony, and he could feel his heart struggling to not give out.  It was a mercy that he could not feel his blackened and cracked skin, or the smoldering muscle tissue exposed and crackling from the raw amount of power he allowed to course through his imperfect vessel.  But even if he could not feel it, he understood what was happening.  The theories behind it, best case scenario he would have had a sixty percent chance of pulling the stunt he did off.  With his body already weak and fragile those odds went down dramatically. 

"I will make sure that I outlive you Dragon, and your failed plan." 

Preston's body wracked itself with a coughing fit, as his hand slid down his staff.  Slick with blood as smoke began to billow out of his nose and mouth during the fit.  His lungs like the cherry on a cigarette, each breath destroying them further and further.  Raising his open hand to the sky his middle finger and thumb trembled with effort as they came together to create a weak snap.  And with it Preston's body would ignite from head to toe.  His body healing from it's cleansing burn, even as it drained away his strength.  But something was different, there wasn't the ambient aether in the air that there normally was.  Where this spell should have left him whole, if weakened, it did little more than restore his sight to that of a haze of shadows and light, and to allow him to feel the pain of his whole body falling apart. 

Still, he would pull his head up, he was a Salabim, and he would not die like a wretch in a basement.  He would do it on his own terms.  And so it was Preston leaned heavily on his staff, using the weakened energy and his failing vision to try and navigate his way back up to the surface.  His book weakly followed after him, flying so low to the ground it was almost dragging, bumping into walls as it swerved wildly in it's attempt to follow Preston's unstable and rapidly fading Aether.  Only able to keep pace because of Preston's frequent stops hacking up blood and phlegm as he gripped his heart that rebelled with every step. 

Rebirth of the Sun [Qi Mutation]: Activating this ability covers you in solar fire for a few seconds in a sudden inferno that envelopes you. This can heal all of your wounds every time it's activated however it lowers all of your stats by -5. Does not restore lost stamina.

[Allison Kazim]

Ali's head whipped back with the force of the chain that struck her back into the building that was their shield, though her own remained on the main bound by chains by sheer force of will as the air was knocked from her lungs. The stillness that filled the air felt like the pause between breaths as she took in the devastation. The dust on teh ground, the charred splotches on teh building where the Lightning Dragon's attack had remained even when he did not. Most of those that remained were alone, their guards no longer present, though some were coming up from below, including a mage she knew by reputation. Another small sign that things were okay. Hopefully.

Frowning, the battle mage would climb up to the roof again if she could. Perhaps Emperor Stirke's plan worked, and perhaps it hadn't. Perhaps all that power had been for nothing.

Ali goes to see if the unnamed man and the fliers are alright! Others were flowing through the doors, but her family hadn't been able to make it to this ceremony gone wrong. It would take time to get back home and let them know what happened.

________________

Item: Kazim Blade Wings (+12 ENG)
1.) Forms a Shield Negating 1/2 dmg of the attack

Wing Use 4/5

[Thorn Wyatt]

Thorn gives a nod, and even as he's thrown, he can feel a sort of... peace, flowing through him. For once, he doesn't hear Nobody in the back of his mind.

Instead, his voice sounded the same as Thorn's, echoing his own thoughts. There was only one thing that mattered now.

"We won't let you hurt her!"

With every last iota of strength they have, they swing for the man's stomach while grabbing his other remaining leg, aiming just below where the man’s navel would be!
