Portals to the Unknown [GM]

[Mr. Kaar]

It was no longer Kiyrs choice whatever was lured to the portal by Kiyr's energy is using it now.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kiyr gasped, surprised. She reaches up to try and stabilize her arm with a full wince.

"Ceres. I have to—ah—finish whatever this is..!"

That was about all the warning she could articulate before she pushed her qi through her arm and into her hand with a cry that was determined but pained! Moving her qi like this was just like when she made weapons, only now it was to open this portal. For good or ill, she obviously couldn't go back.

[Mr. Kaar]

Two bladed and serrated chains would launch from the edges of the portal grounding themselves into whatever surface they came in contact with as a large black dragon made of shadows launched from the hand in a eave of pure unbridled destruction ripping at the floor and effecting the walls its roar muffled by another chain wrapped inside its mouth like a horse as a man rode the dragon out of the portal. Leaping from the dragon before it demolished most everything in it path taking out even a few walls of the training room as Ceres had to put up barriers and a force field to stop it.

The man would land exuding a red aura and six total chains would be flapping about his back like a cape. He wore a partial leather mask which showed his jaw and mouth along with eyes. His white blonde hair showed through the top and his blue eyes were esspecially striking.

"Years, uncountable. Freedom at last."

Kiyrs earrings would shatter almost desintigrating.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kyrie's cry of surprise at the chains, dragon, and man quickly shifted to a scream of pain. Her arm shook and bracing it with her free hand did nothing to help. Her palm where the rift was felt like it was torn to bloody shreds - it was - as she could feel her skin dry and crack over her forearm and partway above her elbow. Wide blue eyes stared in horror as the man jumped off and the dragon began obliterating everything in its path—including the walls.

"Ceres! Stop it—!"

It was a desperate shout as her arm spasmed in enough pain to drive the slender, tiny blonde to her knees with a muffled shriek. She pressed her forehead against the floor, cradling her unusable arm to her chest with the other. She was hunched over. It might have been useless, but she could feel the fiery pain even if she couldn't move it. She panted, heavily, trying to both regain her breath and get a grip as she fought through the pain.

The blonde lifted her head with a growl as the man spoke. Her good hand slowly released her blackened arm as she tried to curl her qi around it - she smelled some smoke and charred flesh - to stave off further injury and infection. With a hiss of pain she activated her mask to look at this man.

This man with his utterly striking blue eyes and white-blond hair. She pressed her hand to the floor as the overlapping feathers coiled down her neck, upper torso and arms, and would slowly stand.

"Who are you? What dimension did you just escape through my hand from? What was that dragon?" Kyrie grated the questions between partially clenched teeth. She was on her feet. She would never stay down.

And she hardly noticed her earrings had shattered.

[Mr. Kaar]

The man would begin laughing before he regained his baring.

"Ahhh, that is what we call the Doomed World. A world covered in chains. That dragon was the Doomed Dragon. A dragon made of such intense and powerful darkness that it burns like fire. It is only as strong as the user who summons it on this side... I've been waiting for someone of this bloodline to be strong enough to summon a Doomed Being so I could escape."

[Kyrie Blaze]

Her arm was even spasming beneath her qi-bandage. It hurt like fire, like being burned, and the man's words made that make sense. She knew how strong he was. She knew his qi and what it did.

...someone of this bloodline?

Blue eyes widened.

"So...you are my ancestor, then..?"

Her grandfather was Odin. While she had wondered what had become of her ancestor - perhaps she was simply a wild card with what Damien mentioned about a Seer - she would have been content with just that. Kyrie shifted on her feet, her eyes narrowing after they resumed their normal width.

"And your name is..?" she would wait to hear it before continuing on, feeling daring but cautious. "If you have been waiting so long perhaps you owe me a boon for orchestrating your release. And why were you trapped there to begin with?"

[Mr. Kaar]

The guy grinned.

"My name is Alphonse Barrial."

He would wave an arm across his stomach and bow politely.

"As for a boone... I could release your chains..."

He would chuckle.

"I trapped myself there. I summoned The Doomed Snake and pulled myself into the portal with it to escape a losing battle."

[Kyrie Blaze]

Alphonse... Reminded her of Alpha.

Still, she closed her good hand over her heart and inclined herself forward in her own bow...but didn't take her eyes off of him. She straightened and eyed him critically.

"You could..." She would blink. "What battle were you fighting in that you chose to flee rather than face defeat or death..? And how did you open the portal?"

[Mr. Kaar]

"To open the portal for the first time you need an item or object that originally belonged there. Our family seems to draw them to us, specifically to the creature we are most in tune with. We offer it our energy and it attacks our enemies for us."

He made no show as of yet.

"You can still feel it, right? The pull of hunger from your arm, even beyond the pain. The dragon is yours to command, as long as you the power to control it."

Alphonse nodded finally.

"I was battling a handmaiden who had decided to try and stop me. I shoved a chain through her stomach and she blasted me with a ray of light. My army was on the verge of defeat and this woman would have ended me."

[Kyrie Blaze]

She nodded and subtly eyed him. His was the snake..? She wondered why that was significant for him. Hers was a Dragon, which was understandable considering where she was.

The blonde glanced at her arm which was held tight to her chest with her qi. She had to concentrate...but nodded after a few moments.

"You say power to control it, but dragons are...not meant to be tamed or control." She sighed. "I also assume my arm will mend and be fully functional again, as you seem to have no problems."

She blinked after his explanation.

"Handmaiden? Blasted with light? That almost sounds like...Norse origins. Valkyrie..?"

As if her name hadn't been obvious enough with Odin being her grandfather.

[Mr. Kaar]

"Yes that's it. She interupted my summoning of the Doomed Chains to bind this world to my will. I believe she called me Yggdrasil."

He would laugh at the name.

[Kyrie Blaze]

"Yggdrasill? The World Tree...the Connector of Realms." Kyrie eyed him. "To what purpose were you trying to leash this world to your will for? And how long were you trapped in the Doomed World?"

[Mr. Kaar]

He'd seemingly been puzzled.

"Oh so many years, with whispers of this side to keep me company. Who's will over mine would be right? Who's power over ours should control this world? This that shares the fate of the doomed world. A world of pain, suffering, agony. I will hold this world and give it a new fate."

[Kyrie Blaze]

"I believe you have been away from this world too long. And those whispers you have heard obviously did not tell you times have changed." Kyrie's eyes narrowed. "The only domination your will should do is to dominate over the difficulties in life you face, over your own fears. Each person should be free to make their own choices, to face the consequences of them if what they choose is a negative thing."

She remembered something... The first time Bhaltair had asked where they were.

"Besides. You are not even on solid ground. We are up amongst the stars you would have seen in the night sky...and the ship would not listen to you."

[Mr. Kaar]

"Hmmm that does pose a problem doesn't it?"

Alphonse raised his hand and all six chains spiraled about it surrounding his arm and hovering around it as that dark energy Kiyr used before sprang forth.

"We will have to fix that."

He would point the now shadow creature cannon straight at Kiyr.

"Ny own problem? In my life? This world is my problem! If I am among the stars then I must reshape even they so everything goes as planned. Hahahaha"

At that he would fire a large shadow snake leaping forth at Kiyr only to be blocked by a large yellow shield. Bhalthair had shown up and surrounded himself with the large gold knight he was able to create with his eye Qi.

However it was strong enough to cause him to slide back.
