Resting a hairy claw on each of their shoulders, I interrupt, "Well if we head to the castle, you can take your grievances right to the top ****head. And if we don't, I get the feeling we'll probably lose a lot more than this bar. Whaddaya say ladies?"

Fear.

It is the only emotion that envelops me at this instant.  I wished I had never cast the spell.  I wish I never had!  I despise myself, I hate.  I backed several steps away from the horrific creature until I hit a table that tells me to stop.  I want to flee.  But I know I cannot.  My heartbeat pounds faster and harder.  Cold sweats begin emerging from my trembling skin again.  My head starts aching menacingly, it hits every vein in my brain and wanting to go deeper.  I want to scream, but I cannot open my mouth, my lips are dry and sealed.  My eyes cannot bear the dreadful atrocity it had just revealed, but yet I cannot close it nor move it away.  It had stunned me for minutes, making me incapable of doing anything helpful.  I just stand in terror.

Of all creatures in the world, why a demon? My most hated and feared creature.  I didn’t expect or plan or wished to see one again.  I only want to forget, to erase.  I want to run away.  I want to leave.  I look around trying to find an exit to take, I’m pretty sure my weak and shaky knees can help me move away from this repugnancy.  There, on my side I found a door.  This will bring me far from it.  As I begin my first step towards the exit, away from the demon, I felt lighter and safer.  I’m moving away from it, I feel good.

“Selfish!”, a hiss from behind has stopped my slow escape.  I looked behind to see who it is.  But none was there.  I looked around, nobody seems to be guilty with the word, but instead what I had seen are my beloved students again.  Some panicking, some stunned, some asking for help, some are just lying dead.  It was my conscience, reminding me of my actions.  My conscience, the largest part I consider in making my decisions.  It strikes again.  I then realized I was wrong, I should face my fear.

I face back the demon again; though its dreadful visage makes me weaker and weaker as I stare to it longer.  I then decided to take this one chance.  I hope to take this monster down, not for me, just for my beloved students.  I just want to end this.  With weak hands and dry lips I try to cast a greater spell – Bigby’s Clenched Fist at the demon, with all my hope it will work, hoping this will end.

Edited by Azagal at 07:48, 28 Apr 2008.

((I’ll start a while back since I haven’t been able to post in between your updates))

I’ve got it! Haaha!

Regardless of the horrors he had just witnessed and his weakened state he couldn’t help feeling more confident when he touched the Black Blade. His confidence quickly grew to battle eagerness as the energy flowing from the Blade was not quite like anything Azagal had ever experienced before.

Now I just have to…

Despite Azagals sudden hunger for a fight lifting the blade proved harder than he had imagined. But after a moment he thought he had the hang of it. Trusting in his new weapon Azagal turned to face his foe lusting for a chance to try out this magnificent weapon.

Haahaaha. Let’s see who’s so tuff now. I’ll….

Petrified his eyes widen in terror as he sees the Demon whom he had thought well away from him flying towards him.

<<The fierce swipe sends Azagal crashing into the wall next to the balling girl and her big brother.>>  

“Ugh….”
Losing grip of the Blade the sudden boost he had experienced lost its effect. He felt even worse than before as his hope’s had been crushed instantly. Seeing the Demon approaching him he was losing all hope to get out of this alive… foolish enough of him to believe that he could have been able to save Onyx and the children from a terror much greater in power than he could ever dream of being.

I guess this is it then… Heehe… What a team member I’ve been

Azagal is suddenly put out of his self-pitying and misery when he sees the little boy standing in front of him. "You'll have to get through me first!".

…This isn’t happening…

Finding himself unable to move due to shock he can only watch as the Demon picks up the brave little boy.

…This can’t be happening…

<<The Demon grunts as his free arm yanks a dagger out of his shoulder.  He spins around to find two figures standing on the other side of the room.
"Tsk, tsk!  Don't you know eating boys is bad for you?" a female voice asks as a body walks into better view.  "They are made of polliwags, snails, and puppy dog tails.  Don't you think that would give a demon an upset stomach, Stefan?" asks Sun as she twirls flips a throwing dagger in her right hand.>>

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou! THANK YOU!!!

Overwhelmed by joy he thanked every saint, deity, element, whatever supernatural thing that came to his mind no matter whether he believed in them or not. He couldn’t help but feel relieved. Even though his hopes have been crushed over and over again the sight of  fighters capable of at least wounding that beast was more than encouraging.

Now that Demon is going to get it…Heehe...Right! Where’s the Blade? I have to help them! I…

Azagal couldn’t believe his eyes. Where his saviours were just standing the Demon was gnashing on a leg.

…How did…What just…Where is…No…that can’t be….

Azagals mind was desperately trying to deny the truth. What he had just witnessed was impossible! While Azagal with all his might tried to regain control of himself the Demon
was eating his saviour. As far as Azagal could judge the woman he had seen previously wasn’t missing any body parts yet so he still had a chance to help her but he would have to be quick. Despite the hopelessness of his situation there was one good thing:the Demon wasn’t watching him anymore. Grasping this chance Azagal dashed for the Black Blade he saw lying close to him.

Now or never…. DIE!! DIE YOU ABOMINATION FROM HELL!! DIIIIE!!

He charged towards the Demon feasting on the fallen rouge.

I silently follow winterfate and when I get close I whisper to his ear.

"Don't turn back. I'm here with Mitsu invisible, act like you are not aware of us and we'll try to take the best out of the situation ahead."

Once inside my jaw droops at the sight. Not stefan.. Blood boiling I charge the demon to make a thrusting strike and twist for some nasty pain. That abomination is going down.

As Ceres begins casting her Bigby spell, I can’t help but grin. ‘Thank you, Ceres,’ I think to myself. Allowing her casting to go for about a second, I begin some casting of my own. I continually watch her, and where she is facing. As soon as her spell is complete, I watch for where it is targeted. I will aim my spell at the same place.

The spell chosen would be chain lightning. The initial target area would be where the hand went. The additional targets would be evenly spaced stones, in an approximate .5 to 1 foot radius around the initial target.

As soon as Mitsu notices Elvin attacking, she two launches her attack to buy some time.  Just in case this ... thing can go invisible or whatever, she casts a very low level spell quickly.  Faerie Fire.  Will also help all attacks land on the creature (grants a +1 to all attacks aimed at the creature).  Then she pulls a weapon and charges.

I listen to Elvin as he whispers in my ear, moving as if no one were there.

Afterwards, I send my summoned wolf to distract the demon while I aim a Called Shot to its arm (the closest arm to me).

I decide to keep Shady back.

As the two warriors and the bard wind their way towards the others, massive boulders rain down from the sky.  Jade quickly tackles Saphire and Vlad to the ground, just barely avoiding being entombed under tons of stone.  The boulders miracuously miss the terrified citizens.  The only casualty of the debri is the other tavern in town.  

Jade dusts off her armor as she gawks at the large hole adorning the wall of the throne room.  "What in the world..."  Moon stands in the hole, pointing down at the rubble.  The debri stirs as a blackened figure struggles to its feet.  

"FINISH THAT PEST!" Moon commands.  

Jade nods and draws her spear.  The battered demon barely catches a glance of the spear before it stabs through its skull.  With great strength, she lifts the spear with the demon still on it, and slams it overhead into the ground.  With the aid of her left boot, the spear rips out of the corpse's head.

After using her boot to slide the head off the spear, she and the others start running for the castle.  

==============================================================

Enormous fingers puncture the wall and quickly clamp down on the sorceror.  As the wall begins to crumbel around it, the demons body is revealed.  A gangingly looking demon with purple skin stares at the two mages as it furiously struggles to free itself.   The laughing woman collapses to the ground as the demonic influence leaves her.  The fighting subsides instantly as lightning ripples through the ethereal hand, electrocuting the sadist.  The hand disappears, dropping the blistered body to the ground.  

A few of the students in the room turn very pale and one vommits at the sight.  A soft clank echos from the door as the sealing spells fail, freeing the students from the nightmare.  

===============================================================

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA," the demon roars as Fate, Elivn, and Mitsu spring upon him.  "STUPID PARLOR TRICKS WON'T WORK ON ME!!!"  

The monster hurls Stefan's leg at Elvin's charge, knocking the warrior off balance and sending him crumpling to the ground in front of its massive feet.

The arrow strikes the fiend in the shoulder, stopping it from devouring Elvin.  Despite the wound, it deftly steps to the left, dodging Mitsu's enchanted attack.  A massive fist rises to punish her boldness.  

But the blow never comes.  The demon glances to the side, looking at the bloody, one-armed Azagal holding the obsidian blade in its side.  With a crack, the fiend disappears, leaving nothing but a pile of black dust.

Mitsu blinks and looks around. Seeing the devestation and wounded, she knows that she must summon help, and quickly.  She runs to the door, stops, and invokes a shout cantrip.  "Clerics!  We need Clerics in here.  NOW!" her voice will be a bit horse, but she will be heard halfway through the city.

"Haha! Well done, Ceres! I am sure there are more of those vile demons around the area, however. Let us see what we can do to rid the world of some more. Off we go!"

I head out, and go to where I'm sure there is, or at least was, more trouble to be dealt with.

Assuming I run into nothing on my way, upon the first sight of this other demon.

"I'm had enough trouble from spells for now. How about we see if we can stop you from casting any."

I cast Feeblemind on this demon.

I look at Azagal as I slowly push myself up. "Thanks buddy, that demon didn't seem to like my company. We've gotta do something about that arm though, hope the clerics will arrive soon. I think the attack is over but we should make a casualty report immediately. And...we should see if we can do something about Stefan.."

"Will you not waste time casting spells at invisible demons, Blake?" Moon asks as she storms past the two archmagi.  Her face is flushed crimson, her clinched teeth look like they are about to shatter. Aside from gashes in her armor and a torn cape, she appears completely unharmed.  

"Follow me!"  Without hesitation the two follow behind, almost running trying to keep up with the goodess's pace.  

Within minutes, the three (as well as Vlad, Jade, and Saphire) arrive in a room abuzz with the sound of prayers, soldiers, and other citizenary.  Dozens of clerics, from the various dominations around the city are frantically trying to heal the injured.  Other clerics adminster last rights and prayers of guiding for those lost.  

One such priest catches Moon's eye instantly.  A cleric of Mask recites the Benediction of Shadows to Stefan's corpse, almost drowned out by Sun's horrid sobbing.  Saphire rests a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort the rogue as she hugs the mangled body of her lover.  The holy man places a simple black, death mask on Stefan at the conclusion of the prayer.  

"If you would like, I will take the body back to the temple for concencration and proper burial."

Sun looks up, tears welled in her eyes, unable to say anything.  

"Yes, that would be appreciated shadowy one," Saphire says as she helps Sun to her feet.  Five individuals appear out of the shadows and scoop up the corpse; the thieves and the cleric nod to Sun and exit the room.

"ONYX!  WHERE IN THE HELLS IS ONYX!!!" she barks above the cacophony, after Stefan's body is hauled away.  "ONYX!!!"

"AH DAMNIT!  I'M RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!" Onyx shouts, clutching a large bruise with his left hand.  "I have-"

"I DON'T CARE RIGHT NOW!"  Onyx retreats a few steps, clearly not wishing not wishing to cross her.  She points at each of the heroes.  "EVERYONE FOLLOW ME!"  Quickly the heroes comply and rush after the storming Goddess as she winds her way back to the throne room.  

The great room is in ruins.  The large table lays in twain, shards of glass and ice lie about the floor, and the great throne has been reduced to a broken stool.  Two bloody winterwolves sniff at the massive hole in the wall, catching the new scents whafting in from the window.  The black blood smeared on the walls speaks to the suffering the demon endured fighting the queen.  Moon assumes the reamins of her throne, sitting uncomfortably as the Heroes shuffle in.  

"Why did this happen?" she aks Onyx with faux calmness.  Before he can even fathom an explanation, she springs from her chair.

"WHAT IN THE HELLS HAPPENED???!!!  DEMONS!!!  DEMONS ATTACKED MY HOME!!!" Her thundering voice shakes the walls of the room, loosening ice from the ceiling and causing rubble to fall from the large hole.  The wolves quickly retreat from the room.  It doesn't take long before rumors of an earthquake rocking Frosthold circulate around the city.  

Moon's face seethes with fury as she awaits an answer.  No one dares answer.  Sensing her own ire, she runs a hand through her messy hair, vainly trying to straighten it out.

"Sun.  Report.  What did you find out from Jack?"

Sun, still sobbing, fishes out a note from a pocket on her belt.  She hands it to Moon who reads it immediately.  The room suddenly feels colder as Moon crumples the tiny scroll.  Her heavy breathing is faintly visible in the chilly room.

"Is this correct?"

Sun nods and retreats ten feet.  

"So that is why they attacked us," the goddess muttesr as she tucks the note into a little pouch.  "The time has come.  The Demons, Ilithids, and Storm Giant armies march for Godspire.  According to Jack, a valuble crystal of immense power lies at the top."  Onyx cringes at the news and readies a question.  Moon senses what he plans to say.  

"Yes, Onyx, our intelligence was incorrect.  Turns out there are two pieces of the crystal left.  The Demons have one and the other is at Godspire."  

"So they know of the crystals and that's why they attacked."

"Correct. Thankfully, they believed they were in my possession."  Moon holds her hands out as a quill and parchment magically appear.  She quickly scribbles down something and hands it to Sun.  

"I need you to get this to Jack immediately."

"No," Sun responds flatly.

"No?"

"I'm not leaving Stefan."

"YOU WHAT?" shouts Moon.  

"What's the point?  We can't win.  Everytime we make some progress, things get worse."  

"Now is not the ti-" Moon begins.

"NOW IS THE TIME FOR THIS CONVERSATION" Sun shouts, her tears of sorrow now tears of rage.  "EVERY TIME WE WIN, WE LOSE TEN TIMES MORE!  STEFAN, BROCK, HODGEPODGE, DRAGON, PANDA, OMEGA, TOPAZ, SHADOWDALE, ANUSIA.  HOW MUCH MORE ARE WE GOING TO LOSE THIS TIME?  SO WE STOP THE DEMONS.  THEN WHAT?  THE GIANTS AND FLAYERS DESTROYE FROSTHOLD AND KILL US?!"

Moon's pupils are no longer visible as she listens to Sun's ranting.  The temperature of the room is below freezing.  

"WHAT GOOD WILL STOPPING THEM DO NOW?  STEFAN'S DEAD AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT WILL BRING HIM BACK NOW!  YOU WANT US TO FIGHT THREE ARMIES AT ONCE?!  ALL YOU ARE GOING TO DO NOW IS GET US KILLED LIKE STEFAN!"

Nobody sees the slap that strikes Sun to the ground.  Moon towers above her, eyes white, breathe dancing in the freezing air.  The walls begin to violently shake now.

"YOU SELFISH CHILD!  ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS A DEAD THIEF!  DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW MUCH WE LOST BECAUSE OF YOU?!  THIS WHOLE WAR IS YOUR FAULT!  ALL BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T PASS A DAMNED TEST AND BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T, WE FACE TOTAL RUIN!"

The tension in the room is unbearable.  Saphire nervously shuffles her feet, thinly trying to distract herself from the confrontation.  Jade stares in disbelief.  She's seen Moon angry, but not this angry.  Onyx just stands quietly.  

Sun opens her mouth to argue, but Moon raises a hand.  

"Get out of my sight.  There is no room for fools in my kingdom."

Sun shoots Moon a venomous look and pulls herself up.

"I'll show you who the fool is.  I show all of you!" Sun shouts as she exits the room for the last time.  After Moon watches her storm off, she turns back to the others.

"Prepare for war.  We must not allow those shards to fall into the enemies hands.  Azagal and Jade, get every able body in the area to this castle and begin training.  Onyx, contact Jack and let him know we march.  We will need the Shadow Thieves help in this.  Ceres and Blake, I want every mage you can train to help us.  Make them as ready as you are able.  Fate, I want you track down the Druids and other Alliance members and inform them that we march.  Mitsu and Elvin, I want you down at the ironworks.  I want to make sure our warmachines kill as many people as possible.  Since you know traps, you know what works.  Saphire, round up all holy men you can find in the region.  We are going to need all the healing we can get.  Last but not least, Vlad.  I bestow the rank of general upon you.  You will tale the soldiers who have shown the greatest potential and train them as officiers."  She returns to her throne-stool.

"As for me, I have to work on the city's defenses.  You have your orders."

Mitsu's eyes blazed for a moment, and she looked at Moon.  "Queen or not, Goddess or not, War or not, that is no excuse for what just transpired.  That person that just left has lost almost everything they cared for, and obviously has been through a lot.  Now I know you can turn me to ash with a flick of your wrist, but I really don't care."

Mitsu walked right up to Moon, knowing that this maybe her last act.  "First, I am NOT a puppet to have it's strings pulled.  I will help this endeavor because I choose to!  Others will help because it is what must be done!  Don't presume that I owe you any obedience or reverence.  I am nobodys lap dog!"

"Fine your pissed, well so am I.  People are dead, we are strained to the point of breaking.  We have no allies, we have no reinforcements, and we are pressed at all sides.  We need everybody we can get!  A chain of command is a good thing, and neccessary, but it is only as good as its leader.  A tyrant can do great things, but a true leader can do wonders.  I'll be down making traps if anybody needs me.  But if you get in my face, either kill me or dismiss me."

With that she turns around and heads toward the designated areas, totally ignoring Moon, the guards, and any attempt of communication.

I look at Moon flabbergasted as the confrontation occurs. I try to call Sun back into the room in vain as Mitsu confronts Moon herself. As Mitsu leaves, I try to call her, also in vain. I look at Moon with a mix of fear and silent rage as I say simply:

"You went a bit too far there, love. Perhaps you don't realize how painful it is to lose a loved one...or perhaps you refuse to realize it."

I shake my head negatively as I turn away and walk out of the room to carry out the orders. Before I leave, I turn back to Moon, smiling weakly and say:

"I know I would be as distraught as Sun if I lost you. Forgive me for saying this, but you need to learn the value of compassion."

I leave the room.

Azagal was breathing heavily, his muscles twitching as they had passed their limits a while ago.

It's over...It's dead... IT'S DEAD!.

The anger and hatred that had build up in him for the vicious creature transformed into joy... before he realized what was going on he caught himself laughing. Only barely realizing that Elvin was talking to him.

Still a bit unsure on his feet Azagal struggles a bit to keep his balance. Eventhough his wounds were neither fatal nor cripeling he was exhausted. Apart from his body being at it's limits his mind was shacken, which was much worse for him. He had always been very selfconfident and convinced of his own abilities... after all he was one of the top students in the Order... years of training his body, his mind, trying to push his limits day by day all just to ready when the enemy -no matter his nature- would apear...It wasn't like he wasn't a serious foe!
But fighting proved different from what he had expsected.
He looks at his left arm... a purple mass short under his elbow his hand missing. He didn't do any better than this?

"Snap out of it will you!! You fought a DEMON will you stop whining most people would have died instantly!!"

He said to himself. A faint smile appears on his face.

"Yeah... I've been thrown arround like a doll, almost been eaten twice and killed him while he wasn't looking... only with the power of Onyx blade... That's what I've been training all my life for?"
He was disapointed in himself...eventhough killing that
abomination had filled him with a strange joy... thinking about it send a chill down his spine, scared of himself.

"It was the exhaustion... You weren't thinking clear.Pull yourself together! You'd never take pl..."

Before he could finish his thoughts Moon stormed into the room.

<<"EVERYONE FOLLOW ME!">>

Azagal had wanted to stay. He wanted to take care of the boy and his sisther. He wanted to thank the dead man who had saved his life. He didn't believe in an afterlife but that man had saved his life the least thing he could do was pay him his respect and make sure that he wouldn't have died in vain! He wanted to help the poor women. Eventhough he knew it wasn't his fault that the man had died he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. But now was not the time for that... he couldn't and wouldn't disobey the goddess.
He ran along with the group trying to hide his exhaustion and shock as good as possible eventhough he didn't really had to make a big effort since everybody seemed tense and had their atention fixed on Moon. After what he had seen the runins of the throne room were no surprise to him... what happend then was something Azagal wouldn't forget so fast.
The gracious goddess he had experienced cold at worst was exploding. He was afraid coming too close to her. He didn't understand what she was talking about but he didn't have to... it was something bad.
Feeling a little out of place he stod there quietly endureing the ordeal as good as he could. When the women that had resqued him together with the man who's named appeared to be Stephan cried out in despair over Moons reaction towards her denying to take a message to a "Jack" he almost couldn't restrain himself. He just wanted to help the desperate women. Just when he was about to step forward to take her in his arms and say that he was sorry he stoped.
Moons reaction made him take two steps back in terror.

That women must bear a huge burden... or be very cold

He thought to himself. As the fighting went on he felt even more out of place... When he saw Mitsu step up (in what he was sure was an attempt of suicide) he beged the gods (a habit he had realized he had caught up when hopless Doom was imanente...much to his discomfort) that this would end well. Despite the bad mood he was reliefed when Mitsu left the hall alive...

One thing was sure though... he would devote himself entirely to the task Moon had given him! He was grateful for the oportunity to prove his worth and happy he had something that'd take his mind of the quite doubts he had faced earlier.

The freezing throne room had helped me calm for a bit, it brought my tranquil self back.  After a moment I find myself back in consciousness and in a normal state, not confused or afraid.  But the recent sights and conversations that stumble on me make me sad.  Another friend had died - a valuable one.  And the tension between Moon and Sun make me feel ill.  At least now, I understand the root of all of these.  Since I had been in this group, I never knew the real purpose of the attacks.  My introverted attitude really never helped me mingle close with them although I am thankful the group had been treating me good despite the treachery that I had done.

I glance around the room trying to find something, only to realize that I want to check on Onyx.  His bruised hand caught my attention.  I walk a few steps onto his direction hoping to talk to him and offer to mend his wound the way I can.  I am deeply concerned.  Seeing his cold nature, which he posses most of the time, I hesitate.  I am sure, with that looks Onyx won’t consider me, also bearing in mind the past events we had been into, with the Dark elves and Titan he won’t surely welcome a casual banter with me.  I back off, shake my head and sigh, though saddening I try to fight it.  In times of war, weak feelings shouldn’t be allowed. Instead I focus myself into the orders Queen Goddess Moon had given me.

“What’s your plan?” I ask Blake as I turn my attention to him, “Maybe we can talk about this before we imply it to our new students.  I have some suggestions.”

"Wow Moon I didn't expect such an outburst after all this time. Your objectives are pretty clear but we are still people with feelings, some can't take it that easily. I'll let you cool down and see what I can do with my appointed task."

I head towards the forge,a bit tired but this is the best thing to soothe the nerves, working on something always calms and gives me perspective. Not to mention that it is a pressing matter even if it does not feel that way at the moment. I am not exactly qualified to deal with improving warmachines but at least I have en insight in their mechanisms, shouldn't be too hard.
Hope Mitsu will stay out of trouble for now, I'll check with her a little later. She probably needs her space.

"Raised voices, failed tests, reminds me of basic training... Good times..." I chuckle quietly whilst returning to human form.

"So I'm a General now, huh? Folks back home 'll never believe this. Anyhow..." I tilt my head just a bit and point towards the door, "I'm gonna go have some cake."

I then saunter off in search of said cake. Or if I can't find any, then I'll get something else to eat before I start doing anything. "Now if only I could remember the name of that wench I was talking to the other night..."
