Giants Strike - Dragon Defense

[Mr. Kaar]

David: +5 exp. He is covered in blood, he feels something strange in his feet. (David can now control Rock Elements through physical contact.)

[Arianna Barrial]

While tending one of the wounded, Arianna lifted her hand from beside the soldier and--

"...well this is interesting..." She murmured, looking at the black tendrils of...shadow? Maybe? Shaking her hand free she got back to work. There would be time enough, after, to figure that out.

[Aryn Valcoph]

...hot damn!

"Shit what's that now?"

Immediately she checked herself out and frowned to herself. WELL. Best test this shit out at some point.

[David B.]

David would pause, half turn back and look around a moment before giving her an affirming nod and moving on!

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kyrie paused at the odd feeling but caught the nod. "Dra mycd desa E cyf res, ra mavd du vekrd Gryuc...vun dygehk rec feva'c cuim."

She turned away to give herself some space between David, the Dragons, and all of the fallen. Part of her, even, wanted to call upon Gregory--only to have a friend removed from everything. But the way he looked at her...wasn't something she could handle right now.

The blonde looked up towards the sky, braced herself, and uttered a name. "Hyperion?"

'Please let him be alright.' But she was as prepared as she could be to call him down.

[David B.]

There would be no answer to her call!

[Kyrie Blaze]

Not good. Maybe she wasn't calling loud enough?

"HYPERION!"

If this didn't work...there would be plenty of things she would need to explain to David (some she didn't want to broach upon) before they left. The thought to go alone crossed her mind, but David seemed resolved enough that he would go, regardless, and she couldn't simply abandon duty to rush off and confront Khaos and Kronos.

[David B.]

David felt a bit of a tingle in his feet...and removing his shoes, would stand on the ground. His eyes widened a little as he felt a pulse through the earth...was this what Mathew felt constantly? He slowly lifted a spike from the ground, bringing it up to face height at staring for several seconds, ignoring Kiyrs cry out for someone named Hyperion.

Kiyr: There was no answer.

[Kyrie Blaze]

And now she was concerned. It could be perhaps he was too weak or did not wish to be tracked via his light trail again. It could be he was enjoying Themis' company once more.

And it could be very much worse than that.

The blonde's hands clenched to fists before she spun back to the Dragons, and to the heap of Titan bodies. Her mind churned as she moved forward, her eyes glancing to David; her stride faltered only a little. She lifted a hand to rub her neck a little and felt small bumps. Abrasions? On her skin, anyway.

She continued forward, anyway. There was much that needed to be done right now before she and David would make their trip...and she needed a level head for that kind of decision.

There was a lump in her throat she had to swallow, but she began helping with moving those they'd lost...but not before issuing a short command.

"Keep the Titan bodies to the side for now. I may have some use for them."

[David B.]

As she walked along the titan bodies, which had been lined up, there would be a couple wounded...but among the bodies, sat a familiar face. He was in a hoodie, his powerful frame bulging underneath. He had some facial hair, now...like he had been gone for weeks. His hair was a little disheveled. He was watching the dead man next to him, the body with blood smeared on his face, a knife sticking from his neck.

"We are hard to know, and understand...but we can be kind. This man served my brother, Pallas, for many years. He was good, and honest."

Hyperion turned his eyes to her.

"Why have you called me here?"

Looking upon his dead brethren was not something he wished to do, ever.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Even those wounded Titans would receive help. The blonde kept a watchful eye on her sister and the other few medics as they began mending and helping. Kyrie didn't stop them; in her eyes, the end of the battle meant the end of the killing. She was not one to kill in cold blood. It wasn't her, at all. And so, she would help, she decided.

No sooner had that decision been made when a familiar voice spoke out. She came to an abrupt stop and quickly found him, as though seeing him there among the bodies of his brethren for the first time. Her heart, already heavy, sank a little more in her chest at his words.

She didn't know it...but she'd nearly killed Pallas, herself.

"...battle kills a great many good people, so called enemies and allies alike. I am glad you are alright, and I apologize for calling you here." All the words were genuine, pulled from her heart. "...do you know why they were commanded to attack us? I know of one obvious reason...and I could presume perhaps the Greek Gods, considering Kronos' want for my soul..."

[David B.]

He stood slowly from the bodies.

"Kronos has tried to blot the sun, and my vision, from his land...but you cant block out the light entirely."

He stepped down from where the body was, looking to the wounded, a curious look on his face.

"Tethys was rash, and went to your leader Mathew for help. He spurned her, and threatened to tell the king that she was a traitor. She acted out of self defense, telling Kronos that Mathew had allied with me, and planned to kill the God King in his sleep. Kronos issued a call for the death of either one of the big three, or their General. The Kraken. He will be back. This army was a distraction...the real purpose was just to claim a life. And he got one. Or so I assume. He sent Typhon after Hades. He is his most powerful warrior...but not one for strategy."

He stepped over to the wounded Titans and Dragons...and would use the light to begin healing them...easing their pain, and stopping bleeding.

[Arianna Barrial]

Arianna looked up after a long while--at the glow of golden light when it wasn't close to sunset. For a moment she stopped and marveled at the sight...and turned back to her work.

She might have felt a pang of jealousy, but would never complain for the help she was grateful for. But she was intrigued...and would have to speak with this mysterious Titan, later.

[Kyrie Blaze]

The youngest Barrial would glance to David; checking to see if, perhaps, he was paying attention. If he wasn't she would have to add that on to the other things she would need to tell him. Regardless, she would turn back to Hyperion, after.

She hesitated and then moved up alongside the Titan before turning to him to ask the question that had been gnawing at her. Briefly, she couldn't speak, but then found her voice.

"Hyperion...what happened with Khaos? Is Themis okay..?"

[David B.]

David was listening, but also exploring his power. He needed to be ready to use it...especially if he had to kill this new Titan. Right now...he wasn't particularly fond of his kind...so would move on to the other wounded, giving them a wider birth.

Hyperion paused for a long moment....continuing to heal.

"Themis is dead."
