The golden golem raised his bloody hand with remnants of Dahak still on his bloody claw and his massive axe in his other as he stared down the weird group of misfits. Naberius held his axe up at the group, the small army of undead began to stride forward towards Sage, Scylla, Iberis and Arthur. A few undead then ended up growing wings that was touched by the four armed undead, Auldlich, flew up into the air and headed straight for the balcony where about ten of them landed around Kalina, Hope, Mad Maw and Renee. The ten undead each began clicking and staring at their targets with their cold greyed over eyes before they began to flap their wings. Their mouths and hands covered in blood from a fresh feast, dripping onto the floor below them. More undead landed with the ten now making fifteen. A strange faint noise clicked from each of them, they weren't growling or moaning and weren't capable of speech. A possible symptom of rigamortis that completely stiffened their throats. Although it seemed they could still understand each other from this dry clicking they were doing which was barely audible. They began to divide into three groups of four and one group of three. Their eyes staring at their targets as they began to flutter, Hope, Kalina and Renee had four staring at them while Mad Maw had three staring at her.<br>

As for Sage, Iberis, Scylla and Arthur, regular undead began to charge at the four. Although right behind them were tall and lanky undead with chains attached to their bodies following after them. At this point, the dark metal cladded undead wielding the mace took a step forward, his dark flames igniting into the air. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Hear my name. Vulm. I am the Undying Flame. I shall burn the living in service of the dead. </span></i></b>" His voice echoed like a dead whisper within the minds of everyone in the room, like his voice was searing into their brains like fire. As he swung his massive flaming mace, small fire spirits spawned with this Vulm's mace swings, being sure to stay near him as he slowly made his way forward. Arthur growled seeing the undead coming, " Great. More of them. " The Hitman growled as he pointed his weapon and began to fire at the undead coming for them, his bullets began to mow down the undead at a quick rate. There were about fifty regular corpses coming for them, but now reduced to about thirty with about ten of the lanky undead behind them.<br>

Arthur growled as he had to reload, throwing his clip out at the twist of a gun and reloading once more. Arthur winced hearing the dry voice of this Vulm.<br>

Kalina sighed as she stretched her neck a bit. Another hoard of undead to fight. <s>Why couldn't they be delicious Fae?</s> It even seemed like this might be their biggest challenge yet. She got three winged undead facing her from the get-go, making her click her tongue. They didn't look the strongest, but their numbers were troublesome. Best she'd try getting a head-start on them. <br>
<br>
She drew her rapier, then stabbed it at one of the three undead before it could even reach her. After all, with her latest trick [Precision Strikes Style D], she could hit it from a distance without her rapier even having to connect with the target (range F), which she hoped would take it by surprise. Considering their obnoxious clicking seemed of some importance, she went in for the head-stab, hoping to pierce it's skull and make it cease its movements and die for good, or at the very least render it unable to keep communicating. <br>
<br>
She'd quickly move on to the next one, using a weaker version [Precision Strike Style E] at the next one, this time needing to actually ram her rapier through the actual creature's head. Having to get in closer made her realise just how gross these things were, making her all the more eager to get rid of them quickly and as cleanly as possible. <br>
<br>
That felt the final one, for which she only had a regular [Precision Strike F] left to deal with, once again aiming for its head. If not to kill it, then to weaken it so she could finish it off later.<br>

Iberis looked back at the approaching undead with a steely glint of conviction in her eyes. Even as she heard that voice and felt a bit nervous deep down when push came to shove for Iberis if they decided that they were going to stop them and try to kill those she cared about, then she'd just have to help eliminate them, there was no two ways about it in her mind, as she held the line, she wasn't about to retreat unless necessary. Since she didn't have great multi target spells beyond perhaps penetration with her stream, she decided to target one of the larger threats.<br>
<br>
"I"m moving in." She said to those  remaining around her, going towards where Arthur and Kalina had started to clear. She didn't want to inadvertently give additional information to the undead if she could help it since it was clear some of these enemies were much more sentient and intelligent than she had imagined these sorts of undead being capable of being, while it was clear lesser ones were more or less puppets of the more intelligent ones it seemed to her at the very least.<br>
<br>
Presuming Iberis was close enough first she'd cast an <b>Energy Bolt</b> waving her staff tip in a zig zag pattern as red energy began to glow, firing off the bolt at one of the closest undead, but instead of stopping she rapidly started to move her staff into a circular motion regardless if the first strike hit or not  and attempted to cast  <b>Energy Stream </b>as even more arcane energy began to build up and the ever so growing familiar reddish circle with rings of rotating arcane symbols appeared and presuming success a large red stream of  arcane energy was fired, aimed at the torso of  Vulm if she was close enough, trying to go for an area that would be a bigger target to hit so it was more likely to deal damage. Before she looked around vigilantly at any other approaching undead at the ready to follow up with another cast next round if need be.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Actions:<br>
1. </b>Move into undead clear area as far as needed to hit intended targets.<br>
<b>2. </b>Try to cast<b> Energy Bolt </b>at nearest undead target<br>
<b>3. </b>Try to cast<b> Energy Stream </b>at Vulm's torso.<br>
<br>
Energy Bolt- Magic Affinity E Arcane Affinity F, Magic Range F, Magic Targeting F, Energized E, Focus E -A more refined more powerful variation of Mana strike, Iberis sends forth a bolt of energy to strike a single target up to 10 ft away. Grade E - 0 Post Cooldown (Energized)<br>
<br>
Energy Stream- Magic Affinity D, Arcane Affinity F, Magic Range E, Magic Targeting F, Energized D,Focus D- A more focused advanced attack than a simple Mana strike, Iberis focuses a red concentrated beam of energy from her staff to use offensively against a target up to 30 ft away,- Grade D - 1 Post Cooldown (Energized)</div>

As troves and troves of undead came pouring into the room, Hope's eyes flashed with hot anger. Yet again, a nice, wholesome moment was just <i>this </i>close, and of course, something had to come along and squander it, as if it were <i>impossible</i> to have anything nice in this world. Couldn't she get <i>four</i> minutes to relax? Why was there always some asshole around the corner, just <i>itching </i>to make things worse for everyone? <br>
<br>
Her grip tightening around the railing, Hope began to realize she didn't need answers. None of them would've sufficed. She'd have to treat them like all the other monsters anyway. It didn't even surprise her anymore. The bastards were <i>begging</i> for it now. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Oh, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!"</span> </b>Hope said exasperatedly, grabbing her catalyst, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Why can't you just leave. Us. ALONE!" </span></b>Her hands squeezed onto the pendant, and as they fell away, she felt them tingle as her magic coalesced into two iridescent black orbs. But that wouldn't have been enough, she knew. She needed to use everything. <i>They</i> deserved <i>everything!</i> <br>
<br>
Shutting her eyes, Hope placed all her focus on the orbs in her hands. Soon two became four, then six, eight, and finally ten. Then, whispering a spell, she sent each volatile orb flying with <b>[Unfettered Chaos]</b>, aiming to harm only the winged zombies harassing her. But she still wasn't done yet. Scylla, Sage, and Iberis were still underneath her, fighting whatever monstrosities Naberius spawned. Immediately, Hope turned to face the drop-off of the balcony, another spell already forming on her lips. Strangely, she didn't recognize the words leaving her mouth. Or the giant, black orb forming in her hand. Or the fact she felt completely energized. <br>
<br>
It hadn't stopped her. Hope pointed the sphere at Vulm, and not a second later, it launched from her palm. It grew exponentially as it sought its target, screeching eerily as <b>[Anarchy] </b>drew nearer. <br>

She beheld in silent horror as the abominations before her made their way through the portals. Dahak lay on the ground, now nothing more than a pile of grounded undead flesh. Scylla took a few steps back, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"W-whoa.. this.. this is sorta.. kinda.. not my area of expertise!"</span> She said hesitating, but then the book in her hands shook wildly as if it wanted to get down, and it did. Scylla immediately let go of the book, suddenly glowing and turning pages wildly as it glowed its eerie blueish color. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"W-what? What's going on? I-iberis?"</span> She exclaimed, but before she knew it, a strange mana stream overcame the witch, provoking the witch to quickly brace. Suddenly, memories, perhaps those of the undead that had their name written in the books pages, perhaps some sort of ancient knowledge? <br>
<br>
Whatever the case, the witch began to learn, or remember some sort of different magic. Her sensitivity to magic had increased. She could feel the static in the air, a deep inner flame in her stomach. She could feel the humidity in the air unlike ever before, even with her previous ability to control her environment. It would seem the book had bestowed upon her the potential means to defeat the foes before her.<br>
<br>
Scylla would have dropped to her knees as the book gave her this critical boon. Her hands had come over her eyes, and her knees no longer shook, albeit only occasionally.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Y-yes.. i.. I think I know what I must do."</span> She said, as the witch picked up her moon staff. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"My, my.. do I have the spell for you!"</span> She said with a confident smirk to the voice that felt like literal fire had began to incinerate her mind. Shaking her head and channeling her water affinity, to cleanse any potential curse happening within her thought patterns. <br>
<br>
She'd make a few quick movements, before bringing her hand forward, almost as if pushing something, before a torrent of water suddenly appeared above her, quickly absorbing the sea water into the moon crystal on her staff. It was then that she'd mutter the words, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Glacia Dabrus!"</span> Suddenly a great blast of water came surrounding the fiery undead elemental creature as Scylla held out her arms, and kept the spell working in an attempt to deprive the fiery beast of free movement and prevent his imps to burn the entire place down.<br>

Kalina's attacks on the three flying undead were quick and swift, they were quickly dispatched with their skulls being pierced from Kalina's rapier and quick speed. The light in their eyes left with each death, blood and gore covered Kalina's blade as they fell onto the floor. Hope's <b>Unfettered Chaos</b> would strike the four flying undead before her, disinegrating them to the molecular level while her last target would be Vulm. Renee had opened her journal and held her hands out in front of her, her eyes gleaming a red tint as she stared an evil one at each of the flying undead around them. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> You will each all <i>fall</i>.</span></b> " She growled as she gathered her magic stopping each of the flying undead and moving them each into the center where Renee crushed them each into each other. <b>[Magic Affinity C, Telekinesis D, Magic targets D, Magic Range D]</b> After killing the rest of the undead, Renee would toss them into the wall nearby and looked back at the rail, moving over as she looked below them at the impending chaos that would ensue.<br>
<br>
Arthur reloaded then began firing his rifle again at the undead again that were coming their way, he had a look of evil on his face as he mowed down the rows of undead, blood and gore splashing everywhere. Iberis' <b>Energy Bolt</b> would string towards the first lanky undead about to attack them with the long chains would completely obliterate them into nothingness.  Vulm stopped moving once Iberis targeted him with her <b>Energy Stream</b>, Scylla's <b>Spell of Drowning</b> would begin to surround him, Hope's last remaining <b>Unfettered Chaos</b> targeted Vulm too. He slammed his mace on the ground and his fire sprites flew around him and into the attacks of everyone targeting him except Scylla's. A circle of black flames conjured in front of the circle of water and moved it into the water to put the spell out.<br>
<br>
He raised a hand into the air as a fireball began to conjure, getting ready to cast a spell. But then.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-size: 26px">" <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">ENOUGH!</span> " </span></b><br>
<br>
A voice rang all through this realm, the castle all around them began to crack and break down. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">I have had enough of you squirming vermin crawling all around in MY dimension. </span></b>" The voice would sound familiar to both Iberis and Scylla, it was the voice in their head. The one that tried to convince them to betray Renee. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You are here to consume the power that lies here. To try and fatten on yourself on what I have worked my entire life for. Pathetic worms that can't work for what they want don't deserve to try and steal the power from other successors.</span></b> " The voice growled. The world began to break all around them as the castle ceiling broke off into the air with everyone being thrown into the air in random directions. Renee, Arthur and Scylla would be thrown further into the castle of Inquiry's Fall. Kalina, Hope and Iberis were thrown outside of Inquiry's Fall into the wastelands of the dead. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You would be willing to betray everyone you ever knew and everything just to achieve your own goals. You would betray your own logic and views if it meant you power. I gave you everything. I allowed you to train under me and come this far. Your achievements and dreams have all been mine, Renee. You are nothing more than a hack and an idea I have created.</span></b> " The voice cackled. Renee growled with wide red eyes, she was boiling with rage, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I knew it! I knew you weren't dead!</span></b> " The witch roared while she was being thrown. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1674025283650-png.1058491/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/995/995621-99cf3117a3e2f2e3d7a22871bf5a2774.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1674025283650.png" title="1674025283650.png" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Renee, Scylla and Arthur would be thrown into the ruins of Inquiry's Fall, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You think you can try and take my power, Renee? My old apprentice? You will achieve only failure.</span></b> " The voice continued for all to hear as the three landed with each other in the ruins, each were unharmed as Renee got up with clenched fists and a rising vengeance in her heart. She wanted to destroy her old master, the one she thought she killed but there always a pang of knowledge that Renee may not have killed her just earlier this year. Renee looked to both Arthur and Scylla, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Are you both okay?</span></b> " She asked, but before they could answer, within the ruins, undead began to crawl out while groaning and growling. Then there was the sound of flame nearby, Vulm. He was here as well, somewhere searching for them. Arthur sighed as he reloaded his weapon with an angry look on his face as about sixteen undead began to fill the path ahead of them, with another eight behind the three. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">We best clear these damn corpses. Scylla or whatever, I'll follow your lead. </span></b>" Ahead of them, towards the top of this ruined castle that was Inquiry's Fall, there was a shining bright light at the spire of this castle. That was their goal now.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1674026841329-png.1058493/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/995/995623-a72627c5410ad0e96316885b535cb5b7.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1674026841329.png" title="1674026841329.png" width="182" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kalina, Iberis and Hope would find themselves being flung out of the cracked castle that was Inquiry's Fall. Flying out into the wastes of the dead, they would land in the ashy sand. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You three. Hear my voice. If you seek passage out of this realm safely and alive. Bring me Renee. ALIVE. If you want to leave with no qualms to me. She brought you each here, whether it be willingly or not. The book she carries is required as well. </span></b>" The voice spoke to the three of them. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Answer now. Do not waste my time with meaningless questions or suggestions. </span></b>" Around the three, bodies were flying into the ground, undead corpses would hit the ground all around them and rolling around. The one most easily identified was Naberius with his golden body that flew into the closest mountain, landing on the side of the massive rock. Undead began to rise all around the three, slowly. There was about thirteen undead beginning to rise, they were far away enough to not be threats at the moment. The three would then see a shining at the top of Inquiry's Fall, at the top. At the spire of the nearly destroyed castle. That would be their goal. Unless they decided to track Renee down and deliver her like the voice spoke that revealed to be Renee's master.</div>

The undead fell to her blade, almost easier than expected, which was great. She didn't like slaying these foul reeking things, after all. She was a bit surprised when someone suddenly started talking. However, when Renee recognised the voice, Kalina managed to put two and two together. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Wait, is this that master of yours you told me I shouldn't meet all the way back when we first met?”</b></span> She wouldn't get a reply though, as she was thrown out of the castle. She landed into the ashy sand with an <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Oomph..”</b></span> As she accidentally breath in some sand and started coughing. Gross.<br>
<br>
The book then told them to bring her Renee, but well... <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Weren't you the one who threw us all away from her mere moments ago?”</b></span> She probably wasn't, but Kalina wanted to do exactly what the 'voice' didn't want her to do; namely to waste her time. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“How the fuck do you want us to capture her if you fling us all the way out of the castle?”</b></span> She hoped she was [Roguish] enough to make it work. Either, she got up and dusted herself off a bit, looking to Hope and Iberis. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Are the two of you okay?”</b></span><br>
<br>
As she said it, she clicked her tongue at the rain of undead. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Gross.”</b></span> All the splattered undead ruined her appetite. That didn't change when the bastards started to rise again. She displayed a feint smile when she saw a shining at the top of the tower. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'll race you guys to the top~ If you lose, you'll both own me a <i>drink of my choice</i>, if you win, I'll buy the two of you a round. You two in?”</b></span> She said, although she would only give them a brief amount of time to respond, as she was quick to go full [Stealth Mode] and start sneaking her way upwards.<br>

Iberis was hoping they could have taken the fire undead down but stuff quickly started to get crazy as they were attacking the onslaught of undead, but then there was that voice again but it wasn't the same from before. So she had been alive? Would this not have meant the voice lied to her too? But then there was the fact was Renee actually holding her back? The idea had crossed her mind on more than one occasion that she was just being used by Renee after being spoken too. But before she knew it she found herself being magically flung somehow all the way out of the castle causing her heart and mind to race then and there as if she was moments away from death, it was all happening so quickly. Unfortunately for Iberis even if she decided then and there that she would betray Renee this position made it marginally more difficult. And between Kalina and Hope who she was now with it seemed unlikely that they would want to partake in a betrayal for power, not that Iberis did at the moment but had she been with the right group at the right time that might have been a very different story. But the fact that there magic alone hadn't been enough collectively made Iberis desire for more, she wanted to destroy being's like Vulm easily by herself truthfully if she desired.<br>
<br>
One of the first things Iberis noted after landing, seemingly unharmed was that they were outside now, and there were still undead being flung about around them flying back a distance away. She heard the voice, but didn't speak back focused on the task at hand. She looked between Hope and Kalina as the undead start to rise in the distance. <br>
<br>
"Yeah I'm alright sounds like a deal, we better get going like she said, the longer we stay the more dangerous it seems to get." she said seriously, masking a lot of the anxiety or fear she might have otherwise experienced  quite well,  truthfully they just needed to get out of this dimension now, Iberis  thought to herself, she had wanted to snatch something to further her own power but this was proving to be difficult with threats this difficult to take on. But now they had an opening, she figured she'd let Kalina take the lead for now, presuming that Hope was okay, and she started to move as quickly as she could in the same direction that Kalina was headed.<br>
<br>
 "Hope we should probably stay together, it'll increase the chances of us getting there in one piece." She continued while she was on the move.</div>

Scylla channeled the mana through her being, feeding the watery sphere for it to grow bigger and bigger in size, but this strange undead fire elemental had other tricks up its fiery sleeve. It would manipulate her spell in a way that made it suddenly fail. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Okay, what?"</span> She said sarcastically, then preparing to defend herself from an incoming fire attack, Scylla quickly raised her staff for a defensive spell. But suddenly, an explosion of a voice came down on everyone.<br>
<br>
Scylla threw her hands over her ears.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "EEEEEK!!"</span> She shrieked.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Keep it down in there!!"</span> She complained, as she knocked on her head a bit with her knuckle, then the voice would begin to reveal many things. Namely, things regarding Renee she didn't know about, that she probably would have been better off not knowing.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Wait. Renee? Is what she saying <i>actually </i>true?!"</span> She asked, her eyes widening with surprise. But before she could continue, the entire building began to shatter, namely the roof to where the other in the party would suddenly be thrown out towards, while Scylla suddenly, somehow lost her footing and was sent further into the castle.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "WHHH<span style="font-size: 12px">HOO</span><span style="font-size: 10px">OOAAAA!!</span>" </span>She'd grab onto Arthurs face but quickly let go when she noticed it was him before finally hitting the ground, bouncing off Renee and landing on top of Arthur. When Scylla opened her eyes, all she could see was Arthurs face. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"WHOOPS!" </span>She exclaimed before scrambling to get off of him as quickly as possible. Then dusting herself off, she'd listen to the the voice but generally ignoring it. Then she looked at Arthur and rolled her eyes, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Yeah, Renee's mentor is such a poor match maker. Like, there is no way me and you would ever work! Pfft!"</span> Then she'd turn towards Renee. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Yeah I'm totally fi-" </span><br>
<br>
Then a burning, fiery sound emitted nearby. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Could that still be-"</span> She gasped. Followed up by the sound of bones and groaning from underneath their feet. Arthur was already loading his weapons, and he actually got her name right! Glancing at the gunslinger,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Hm. Yeah, okay, sure. Renee, my dear, please allow me to show you how much I've learned!" </span>Scylla's crimson eyes would gaze up towards the spire before facing the undead before them. She'd raise her staff, the crescent moon like gem would glow, charging as the staff filled up with concentrated mana, an elemental wind would make her clothes sway,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "With a bang and a BOOM!" </span>Suddenly a burst of lightning and fire would emit from her staff, injuring the first five it would come into contact with.<br>

Spells being flung all around, her magic disintegrating whatever had the misfortune of being in its way, and her heart pounding what felt like a million beats a second; Hope was beginning to feel something new. It felt like she'd just jumped out of a plane! Or rode in one of those rollercoasters back home! So great! So <i>exhilarating. </i><b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Come on..."</span> </i></b>Hope mumbled, small arcs forming in her eyes as her hands charged yet another spell, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"This is what y'all wanted, right?"</span> </i></b>She edged closer to the balcony, the same <i>rush</i> coursing through her as she stared down all the undead. All the <i>willing</i> <i>fodder</i>. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Oh, and there's p<i>lenty</i> more where that came from!"</span> </b><br>
<br>
Or so she thought, another booming voice breaking her focus before she could cast another spell. Hope eye's flared as she looked exasperatedly for the source. There was always <i>something</i> trying to intervene, butting in when she was <i>just</i> starting to feel great. She already knew what to do to that woman behind that voice. And it would be <i>all </i>deserved. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Lady, I don't care about your goddamn <i>goals</i>!"</span> </b>Hope yelled, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Show yourself and-</span>" </b>The words caught in her throat as she felt the floor crumble beneath her, and not a second later, she was falling. <br>
<br>
This had to be the third time in this life she'd fallen from someplace high, Hope realized. She didn't like it. And neither did her face when she landed face-first into grey sand, sobering her of that delightful feeling almost instantly. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"O-Oww..."</span> </b>She flipped onto her back to see the undead raining from the sky and hear Kalina call out somewhere beside her. Hope sighed in relief; at least she wasn't alone. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"</span></i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">I-I'm alive..."</span> </b>Hope replied meekly, pushing herself off the sand and wiping it off her garments. She saw Iberis had made the landing too. And so did that demanding voice. <br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Piss off," </span></b>Hope responded, just audible enough for the interloper to hear, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"How's that for a suggestion?" </b></span><br>
<br>
She wasn't even going to bother to think of its request. Sure, Renee was <i>Renee</i>, but giving her to some spooky lady's voice was the last thing she was going to do. Plus, Renee wouldn't have either. She'd never betray her like that. <i>That</i> she was sure of. <br>
<br>
Where to go next, however, she wasn't. Until Kalina and Iberis suggested wandering over to the tower in the distance, that is. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Sure, lead the way," </b></span>She said, rubbing a sore spot on her face, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Oh, and sorry, but can we skip drinks? I just turned twenty, you see, and-" </b></span>But Kalina was already gone, and Iberis followed in her stead. Hope broke into a run after them, hand holding her hat's brim,  <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"H-Hey! Wait for me!" </b></span></div>

Renee growled looking up at the corpses that began to form around her, the witch was very unhappy with what was happening. She looked to Scylla who asked if what her master was saying was true, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">No! It's not! She is nothing more than a lying snake trying to divide us.</span></b> " Renee hissed, she was obviously stressed and rageful with what was transpiring. It was like fighting a force of nature at this point. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You beginning to realize, Renee? You cannot defeat me you fool.</span></b> " The voice spoke before laughing evilly. "<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> I will bury you and this poor pathetic coven you've created. Nothing more than a few street rats you've managed to corral with your lofty ideas of giving them power. They show no promise.</span></b> " The voice taunted. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">T</span></b><span style="color: #475577"><b>his is what you wanted right? An unwinnable situation for them so you can rise above them. Try to come up on top. To show this ridiculous coven that you know what you are doing. There is no winning here, Nyx. Not while I control the aspects of this world. </b></span>" The voice continued taunting as the laughter began. Renee's mood darkened as she stared up at the glowing spire at the top of the tower. " There is one thing you have no control over. " Renee smirked as she pulled out the journal that was the Codexius Choaxirs, "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> The Codex of Death! </span></b>" She laughed. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">That's why you can't touch us. Why you can't physically kill us, my old <i>master</i>. </span></b>" Renee taunted back now. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">This is what counters your existence. It's why you want this!</span></b> " Renee yelled. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">And it's what I used to give each of us here a mark of protection. Before Dahak was killed, he told us that anyone with this mark would be safe. Now you can't summon your most powerful beasts.</span></b> " Renee roared. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You have no power in stopping us. It's why I believe the others aren't dead either. Your power can't throw them like you did with these undead. </span></b>" Renee smirked as she placed the codex back into her bag. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Try and stop me, <i>Master</i>. </span></b>"<br>

Of course, this course of taunting was a bad idea. "<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> Oh? </span></b>" The voice had changed to a more serious and calmer demeanor, for all to hear. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You think I can't kill you because I can't touch you? You are surrounded by an army of undead. The Blue Viscera Occult, a movement that's been around long before any of you and before me. If they want their freedom, then they will earn it by tearing your skulls out of your heads. </span></b>" The voice stated. It was obvious what was going to transpire next. Each undead had their eyes set on this group of Renee's. While Arthur was getting his weapon ready, he was smiling at Scylla, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">If you really wanted to be by my side, you had to only ask. Instead of laying on top of me when you got the chance. At least make you dinner before you try to make the first move. </span></b>" Arthur teased the witch in training. Once Renee finally got a hold of herself and placed herself back in their situation, Renee heard Scylla begging to prove herself in which Renee nodded. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Show me, apprentice. Show me what you can do. </span></b>" Renee readied her own journal with a smile. As the undead came forth towards the three, Scylla's mix of electricity and fire bursted forth as it zapped the first few undead that was in their path. Turning each undead into ash and cinders. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You're improving, Scylla. Keep it up.</span></b> " Renee stated in a serious tone. She thought about ending both Scylla and this new castaway Arthur right here, right now. Make a break for the shining spire and do what she wanted but Renee would need the two of them and sighed instead.<br>
<br>
Arthur fired off his weapon, clearing out undead behind them to prevent the walking corpses from reaching the three of them. But just as the three would be able to advance, around the corner would walk Vulm, the Undying Flame, his blackened flames following after him as he swung his massive burning mace. Although the flames felt cold as he was now much closer to the three of them. It may have been so cold it burned. While Vulm did not speak, he stood there for a few moments staring at them before slamming his mace on the concrete floors and moving forward towards the three, little fire sprites came from the massive mace he wielded and followed after him, although as he passed by the ashy corpses of the undead, the little flaming sprites would enter the piles and sprang back to life would be the corpses, forming into Ash Spawns as they followed after Vulm, ashy humanoid figures with glowing dots for eyes and their shoulders burning with hot flames. Vulm would revive five of the corpses and have them in front of him. Vulm pointed at the three and the ashy figures ran forward at them. They had to weapons but they had their hands as weapons and fire on their side.<br>

"<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> You are brought out here for the sole purpose of negotiation or death you tiny minded fools. </span></b>" The voice spoke to Kalina, Hope and Iberis with an angry and serious tone. Although with Kalina's [Roguish] title it would possibly work. She would feel a strange feeling on her throat like something was trying to choke her but it quickly faded away. "<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> Less you want to be overwhelmed with the Blue Viscera. I suggest you do as I say. Your lofty and meaningless words won't soften me, vampire. </span></b>" This master's of Renee sounded rather similar to how she spoke. But with Hope's clear disobedience, the voice went quiet before it spoke again. " You'll be sorry then, Shadow Fae. " The voice chuckled as there was a creaking of metal behind the three and when they looked, they would see the golden giant that was Naberius being ripped from the mountain by a unknown force before being chucked towards the three.<br>
<br>
Although it missed them and landed in front of them, as quickly as it landed, it stood up. Naberius, the mighty golden giant stood in their way despite being close to Inquiry's Fall. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Hello, Vampire. </span></b>" Naberius growled in a deep voice as his axe was ripped from his back and was held tightly in his hand. "<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> I knew you smelled familiar. You were there. Ruined Dahak's plan of a Infinite Necrotic Source. My source for infinite power. </span></b>" Naberius clenched his fist tightly, hearing the creaks of gold. "<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> While I care not if you lot live, I care if my flock are still undead. The Codex. Get me to it, or I will turn your bodies into my puppets. </span></b>" Naberius promised the three. He turned his head to see the other two, " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">The witch's lackeys. She'll betray you like she betrayed the vampire. I am surprised she saved Dahak. Useless and helpful as he is.</span></b> " Naberius cackled dryly. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">She is to not be trusted. But I offer you a deal to save your own skins. Accept it.</span></b> "<br>

Kalina clicked her tongue in annoyance, as her attempt to stealth away was apparently meaningless. Those bloody witches and their realm-controlling magic stuff. She wasn't really eager to strike up a conversation with Naberius either. Her annoyance showed in how she'd address him.   <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Welcome back, golden boy.”</b></span> She sighed deeply when yet another person command her to do shit for them. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Oh, fuck off, you're the third in line for that blasted book and you just joined the long line of folks that threatened to kill for it. Besides, if there's anyone I'm expecting to betray us, it'd be you.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Deciding to just get things over with, she'd suddenly move from merely talking to aiming a Sneak Attack straight at Naberius. After all, the latter had admitted to a weakness. If he needed Dahak to create an infinite source of necrotic power, it meant his own source was finite, so they could kill him by making it run out. Jamming her rapier through his chest might be a good start to that. She'd back off immediately afterwards, hoping to get back out of his striking range before he'd good and well notice what had just occurred, so that she could first observe the damage she'd done to see how to proceed next.<br>

Had Iberis been alone she might have entertained the idea of listening to this undead. She even heard the words of the powerful one once more, but as far as Iberis was concerned she had already been lied too by this figure meaning it would be difficult moving forwards. She didn't respond to the words in her head. She had already made it clear to the voice earlier that she was potentially open to the idea, but things were not panning out as to let her act out and attempt to kill Renee while she was vulnerable even if she had wanted to carry out the deed. Instead it looked like Kalina was jumping into action to attack Naberius. Necrotic energy? Iberis wished she could tap into something like that to power her own magic. Granted she wasn't sure if someone alive could make use of it without it being extremely dangerous to them, but it should be possible. It didn't seem like the voice was capitalizing on that, surely she could have put Iberis in a more prime position to betray Renee, so for now she was going to work through it and help everyone else.<br>
<br>
"Hope I'm moving in and engaging." She said quickly before moving forward as fast as she could.<br>
Iberis moved so that her beam would be in range, before pausing moving her staff in the circular motion, before the red circle appeared once more with the moving symbols and a red beam of arcane energy shot forth after Kalina's attack if Iberis could get close enough , aiming for the torso of Naberius  with <b>Energy Stream </b> much like she had for Vulm earlier.<br>
<br>
<b>Actions:<br>
1. </b>Move towards Naberius<br>
<b>2.</b>Move in range of Naberius again if needed<br>
3. Cast <b>Energy Stream</b> on Naberius towards torso.<br>
<br>
<b>Energy Stream</b>- Magic Affinity D, Arcane Affinity F, Magic Range E, Magic Targeting F, Energized D,Focus D- A more focused advanced attack than a simple Mana strike, Iberis focuses a red concentrated beam of energy from her staff to use offensively against a target up to 30 ft away,- Grade D - 1 Post Cooldown (Energized)</div>

Hope stopped in her tracks and stared dumbfoundedly as Naberius made his sudden reappearance. And yet again, he started to lay down his demands. Hope's fist clenched, and her other hand immediately drifted to her catalyst. Did these guys know anything about negotiating? It was always <i>compliance</i> or death. As if it'd worked for them before the spooky voice threw her out of the castle. It was getting grating. Why couldn't they <i>try</i> something else? <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"You know,"</span> </b>Hope said frustratedly, raising her eyes to meet the giant's visage, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"If you want something from someone, you don't threaten to kill them. </span><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Twice."</span> </i></b>She shook her head in disbelief, <b>"<span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Until you get that through your head, I think we'll be going. And <i>you'll</i> be moving."</span></b><br>
<br>
Hope already knew what was going to happen next. Kalina had already moved forward to strike, and Iberis pushed past, conjuring a spell. Hope fell in behind, moving up alongside her, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Right behind ya, Iberis," </b></span>She shut her eyes, channeling her magic into a giant orb and charging it with debilitating, crackling chaotic energy, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Let's see if we can't teach him a little lesson..." </b></span>She said before launching <b>[Anarchy - D] </b>at Naberius, concentrating its power solely on injuring him. <br>

Scylla looked at Arthur for a moment, her facing getting hot from embarrassment. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Yeah alright, I deserve that. Maybe if we make it out of here I'll make you a cake. Then you can go far far away!" </span>She rolled her eyes, before then commencing her previous attack.<br>
<br>
After doing so, she looked over to Renee, hoping it was to her standards. When her teacher approved, it made her light up, but only on the inside. She didn't want to show that she was absolutely delighted, Renee wasn't exactly one to coddle much less to appreciate jubilation. <br>
<br>
Little did Scylla know of Renee's dark thoughts to annihilate them, however Scylla did notice her sigh. Which was a little odd.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Is.. something up?" </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">Maybe being here and finding out her old master was still alive was weighing immensely on her teachers psyche. Thinking to maybe bring her some comfort she thought of a few ideas.</span><br>
<br>
She'd then glance over towards the front, the blighted elemental known as Vulm stood there. Scylla scoffed, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Ugh.. this one just doesn't quit does he?"</span> Annoyed as she then turned back towards Renee.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Master, how about we channel our magic together to take this one down?"</span> Scylla offered her hand to the high witch, taking it into hers. Being so highly magic sensitive Scylla could feel the immense power welled within her Master.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "My spells are at your command."</span> She said assuredly. <br>
<br>
Whatever spell Renee decided to use, Scylla would contribute to the barrage with her own magics. <br>
<br>
Perhaps it was the fiery rage that made itself into Scyllas psyche, but the witch thought to use water to put out the potential explosive magics encapsulated within the undead fiery bodies. However, Renee's rage influenced her choice of spell when she decided to mix both fire and water elemental magics. She'd draw out a spiral with theta of her staff towards her targets, before a fiery seal appeared behind her, effectively mixing both spell types together, sending pressurized burning hot water at the charging corpses.<br>

Renee stared at the entity walking slowly towards the three, Vulm held a hand out to both Scylla and Renee. Renee had a serious look upon her face seeing these ashy undead following after Vulm. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Enough, Scylla. Do not underestimate this one. These undead have been alive for a long and for a good reason. They are serious about killing us.</span></b> " Renee stated as fact. Her journal floated next to Renee as the text within glowed brightly, Renee felt energy surge through her body as she pointed two fingers at the Ashy undead. Lightning exploded forth as it flew through the air crackling with power and rage. Connecting with the ash and through their bodies including Vulm. [Magic B, Lightning C, Range C, Targets C] <br>
<br>
Lightning cracked through their fragile bodies as Scylla's boiling water washed over the ashy corpses. With a mix of lightning and water, the ash disintegrated into the air. Into nothingness as they had become less than nothing. Vulm remained standing where he was, affected by Renee's lightning as the electricity flowed through his body, keeping him still for a few moments as he lifted his head again. With a hollow and raspy sigh, Vulm swing his flaming mace across his body with spewed darkened flames at Renee and Scylla similar to a wave. Scylla's water would meet with the freezing flames, the intense coldness of the flames would be felt by the three. The combination of hot water and cold fire created a reaction of explosions, blowing the three backwards further into the ruins with a deafening boom. Renee would hit the ground with a huff, looking up quickly she would see that Vulm was unaffected and was making his way forward, the dark flames reaching towards the three living beings, hungry for the flesh of the living. <br>
<br>
Arthur stood up letting out a roar as he unloaded his machine gun into Vulm, who's flames was protecting himself. Arthur marched forward as he fired each bullet into Vulm only for the flames to render them useless. Although Arthur ran out of ammo and unloaded his empty clip then added a new one but that would be his downfall. Vulm's hand reached out to the young man and grasped his throat tightly, Vulm lifted the man off the ground as Arthur had released his gun holding onto the hand of Vulm, Renee and Scylla would see that Arthur touching Vulm's hand had caused his skin to begin to decay and turn white. He was uttering pain filled groans and noises while Vulm's flames were stationed around Arthur's head. <br>
<br>
A strand of glowing dew flowed from Arthur's head and into the flames where it disintegrated into nothingness. Arthur's body that was twitching and kicking around slowly became still as Vulm tossed Arthur to the side and into the ruins where his face revealed, to be nothing but a sunken and hollow face, like a skeleton with decayed skin on it. Vulm let out a heavy breath as his flames grew stronger and bigger for a moment before Vulm calmed himself. He pointed at Scylla next, she would be his next victim. <br>
<br>

Naberius easy caught Kalina by her hand, her rapier barely touching his armor. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><i>You are quick. But that's about all of a compliment I can give.</i></span></b> " His icy claw then in a instant clamped down into a fist, breaking Kalina's hand completely. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">But weak your fragile body is. You won't be needing this arm I suppose.</span></i></b> " Naberius tossed his axe into the air with his other hand before catching it and swinging it low then upwards in a arc. The golden blade cut into flesh and bone, allowing scarlet to splash into the air while limb was separated into two. Naberius' axe swung through Kalina's arm at her elbow, severing it into two. Naberius chuckled as he tossed the hand and rapier behind him. <br>
<br>
Although with the combined might of Hope and Iberis, their magics were enough to catch Naberius at a surprise. Their combine magic hit him and knocked him backwards, causing him to skid backwards. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You insolent weaklings!</span></i></b> " Naberius roared, although his voice had changed now, a lot more high pitch and sneaky sounding. Naberius' armor was replaced by robes while his bloody ace was replaced with one long bloody hand. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><i>Auldlich</i></b><br>

" <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">How dare you strike me!</span></i></b> " It was Auldlich, one of Naberius' allies in disguise. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You fools couldn't even see a simple disguise such as that one. I knew you were blind but I never would have thought you would be brave. Especially the bumbling buffoon that is the Shadow Fae. I've been watching you for a while now. Your quiet and mild nature mixed with your awkwardness. </span></i></b>" Auldlich's smile creeped across his face with white eyes staring at her. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Oh yes... You are just ripe for the picking to become one of my Homunculus. The little witch girl is of no concern. Just a girl with wild dreams being lead down a pathway of deceit. The vampire is dry and boring, especially since she just lost her arm. But you have potential, Shadow Fae. Or Hope. Such a inspirational name. Once you're mine, I'll name you Despair to spread my plague of fear into the hearts of the living. To become a Harbinger of the Blue Viscera. Reclaim our home.</span></i></b> " Auldlich spoke. <br>
<br>
" <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I can see it...! Our home finally going to be ours. Ryke.</span></i></b> " Auldlich held his hands up smiling. " A vision of grandeur and prosperity. " Auldlich looked back down at the three. "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> <i>Of course, that will happen in due time,</i> Despair.</span></b> " Auldlich chuckled, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Give up this ridiculous named Shadow Fae or you can be turned into braindead puppets if you prefer? We do want to avoid conflict if we can, but if you do not comply, you two will be killed. Your arm has been claimed. Your life will be next.</span></i></b> " Auldlich stated with a evil smile. His arm has been cracked by Hope's and Iberis' magics. Auldlich's arms were close to his body, ready for their next move. But they did have a chance to possibly attack the Lich and see if they could injure him more or kill him.</div>

<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“Fucking bitch!”</b></span> Kalina cried out as her hand first got broken, after which her arm got cut off by the elbow. It hurt like a bitch, but how could it not? It was her bloody arm that got cut off. Although Kalina wasn't in much of a state to notice it, her attacks had at least allowed Hope's and Iberis' combined attacks to pierce through. As he was knocked back, Kalina figured now was the moment to retreat, deciding she'd better await a better moment to attack again. Even so, adrenaline rushed through her veins and with it came an immense feeling of hatred towards this being and a desire to annihilate him from existence itself.<br>
<br>
That opportunity to try getting vengeance came earlier than expected, as the undead, after revealing his true nature, started a monologue. Kalina smirked. Bastard would get it. She silently clenched through the pain as she drew her spare rapier. Good thing she ordered an extra one form that artisan. She hadn't expected to need it this soon, but here they were. Although she'd have to stab with her left hand, she was sure she could still put a fair bit of force behind it, especially considering Auldlich didn't seem to be expecting it. Making her way behind him, she'd attack his back with a [Sneak Attack D combined with a Precision Strikes Style E], ramming her spare rapier into him as much as she could. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Now!”</b></span> She'd yell immediately after stabbing him, hoping that Hope and Iberis would be able to make use of the moment to strike as well.<br>
<br>
Afterwards, she'd have to retreat again, as she felt a bit light-headed. Blood-loss issues already? With the realisation came the thirst. She'd have to try stop loosing so much blood or she'd lose herself to her thirst in an attempt to replenish it. However, the adrenaline and anger kept her going for now, as that was pretty much all that allowed her to even manage to go in for a second attack after the shock of having her arm cut off. That, and perhaps the psychopathic parts of her brain still being monster enough to feel an overwhelming hatred to see this thing that <i>dared</i> harming her suffer a long and painful death.  <br>

Reveling in the synchronization of their magic, Hope reached to put an affirming hand on Iberis' shoulder. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Nice!"</span> </b>She exclaimed cheerfully, eyes flaring in intensity, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Come on, Iberis, you're doing great! One more time!"</span> </b>Hope nodded her head excitedly. Fighting like this felt great! Like she could take on the entire world! Maybe it was just the adrenaline, but who knew teaming up could be <i>this</i> fun? <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Alright! Let's g-"</span> </b>Her words drifted off as soon as she'd brought her eyes back to the battlefield. Kalina's arm had been severed. Hope felt her stomach heave. Suddenly, the fight didn't feel so much fun anymore. <i>Now</i> it was personal again.<br>
<br>
But before she could cast another spell, Hope watched as Naberius morphed into something else. It was another one of those oversized zombies she'd seen in the castle, still spewing nonsense about Ryke. <i>And</i> about "recruiting" her as a <i>Homonculus.</i> The thought made her feel slimy. The bastard just maimed and insulted her friends, and now it wanted her to join its creepy club? And then try to erase <i>her</i> name? It definitely had some brain damage after that fall.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Hey, <i>fantastic </i>offer and all, but I'm gonna tell you exactly what I told that voice,"</span> </b>Hope replied, her eyes narrowing into slits. But just as soon as she began to finish her sentence, she heard Kalina shout from behind Auldlich, presenting another golden opportunity. Hope still couldn't comprehend how <i>easily</i> that woman could just <i>disappear</i>, but that hardly mattered now. She had a feeling it was time to take a different angle. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Iberis,</span>" </b>Hope muttered, tapping the smaller witch on her shoulder, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"I'm moving on your left. We'll hit em' again, okay?" </span></b><br>
<br>
With that said, Hope ran diagonally from Iberis, positioning herself on Auldlich's left flank. She held up her hands, channeling her magic into several black orbs of <b>[Unfettered Chaos], </b>and sent each spiraling after him. <br>

Iberis was rather pleased to hear Hope's praise. She was quite a nice one so far from what Iberis could tell, and she rather enjoyed seeing what Hope could cast next. She hoped that once they got through all of this she'd get to talk to the shadow fae more since she didn't know her terribly well at the moment, particularly with the way that they had been splitting up into groups. She nodded, and just as she was about to jump into action with Hope once again she saw Kalina's arm get severely injured. She had not been expecting that, but it was large undead they were dealing with. <i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Oh there we go again</span></i> Iberis thought to herself, someone else talks about how she is just being used by Renee, there had yet to be an offer that was compelling as she certainly was going to subjugate herself, but she also knew that responding to the undead in an reactionary way was all that it wanted. <br>
<br>
Well she wasn't about to give it what it wanted, and killing Renee for anyone would take a lot of temptation beyond what anyone had offered her so far, as far as she was concerned working with her was more beneficial than not at the moment. And there was the fact she had taken a genuine liking to her, and had yet to actually take another living person's life, but she knew if the time came Renee would not be expecting her to do the deed, the only way to do it would be if she was caught off guard. Iberis nodded when Hope tapped her, and spoke her piece. She really hoped that Kalina was okay, she felt a bit better knowing that she was a vampire and all who could probably take the damage better than a human, but still she was someone that she liked too, which only emboldened Iberis.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Right ,then I'm going in on the other side." </span>She said quickly back before she moved as quickly as she could towards the opposite direction of Hope figuring it'd better their chances of one of them at least not getting hit with a retaliation if this didn't all work out in their favor. If she could move in range without getting hit this time she'd stop quickly and move her staff in a zig zag shape once more building the red energy, before she fired off a  red <b>Energy Bolt </b>at the undead figure, trying to get another team up bonus with Hope, showing some resentment and conviction in her face as she did the deed, this was in revenge for Kalina.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Wh- What do you mean Renee?! I.. Its not like I want to smother them with my love!" </span>She protested at her mentor who seemed to think she was taking it easy on them. Distracted she hadn't noticed Arthur being seriously injured until he heard his screams. Scylla's eyes widened and hurriedly spun to look at him, the witch would reach a hand out towards him. Frozen still with the horror about to transpire before her eyes.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Arthur, NO!!" </span>Scylla shrieked as their new companion's facial features were ripped right off of his skull. Scylla whimpered, breathing shallowly and heavily in a bit of a panic at the frightfully horrible sight before her. Only to be suddenly surprised, as the creature known as Vulm launched her and Renee into the air, knocked back by the creatures demonic powers. The witch would fall, spinning backwards a few times before landing with a <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"OOF!" </span>before quickly getting up to her feet. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I'll show <i>you,</i> madam Renee." </span>She muttered under her breath before charging her short staff. This time she attempted something a bit different. Attempting a mixture of spells in her mind she managed to creature a spell seal, which would make itself visible behind her as she closed her eyes and focused on the rune words in her thoughts. Visualizing how the spell would take form, her hands came up as if with a mind of their own, letting the mana coursing through her body almost do as it desired until it came time to give it form. Taking a bit from Renee's methods, she drew upon a different type of lightning spell.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Sanctenis Conjurium." </span>She recited the rune word that came to mind, as a flash of raw lightning magic crackled in her hands, it was incredibly untamed due to the nature of the spell. The lightning bolts seemingly wanting to escape Scylla's grasp, they sizzled the air around her making her hair stand up on end as the magic began to take its more conventional form. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Static Shock!" </span>suddenly, the sizzling magic took to the ground with a blast that sent Scylla back a few steps, traveling like hungry snakes the elemental lightning flew up through the creature Vulm, then back before suspending itself in the air. The lighting bolts surrounding the demon as the magic seized to paralyze Vulm. Due to the nature of this spell it would also attempt to weaken the demon.<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/renee_shackles-png.1062223/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/999/999353-19aa8a89ea5880c095ed13e77a6ad1ad.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Renee_Shackles.png" title="Renee_Shackles.png" width="142" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Renee had watched as Vulm, this never-ending nightmare of an undead, collect Arthur's soul and devour it into his flames, Renee didn't feel any sympathy or apathy for the man, she hadn't even talked to him and just met him. But as far as she knew, he was another problem taken care of. But it also gave Renee time to think of a plan on dealing with Vulm and his cold as death fire. Right now, she didn't care much arguing with Scylla at the moment, survival and beating her master was the objective. Vulm was just another hurdle for her to jump over. Although at least Scylla was much more of an asset than that Arthur was, the flirting between the two was annoying the witch. Although as Scylla took the lead on the attack on Vulm, Renee smirked following her lead. She respected her apprentice for her brashness and willingness to keep up and even try to outshine herself. <br>
<br>
Renee's journal was floating beside her as mana rushed through her body and in her right hand it was burning hot with intense flame, Renee's eyes widen with ferocity and anger. Scylla would unleash her attack first on Vulm, electricity would crackle on unleash upon the approaching undead, the static shock would try to be blocked by Vulm's mace, but it instead only amplified it due to the mace being metal. Vulm's entire body would surge with the electricity as he was stuck in place, arms spread out as he tried to move. Now was the chance to show this undead his own hubris Renee was thinking. Smiling at the thought of destroying Vulm, Renee summoned a great flame in her hand that was a small globe of intense flame<b> [Blazing Globe D.]</b> She then swung her arm in a arc as the small globe similar to a river rock was launched at Vulm before it grew in size to the size of a chair, a ring of flames surrounding it as it crashed into Vulm while exploding into a great inferno. Vulm was thrown backwards into the ruins, crashing through a broken wall and being buried in rubble. <br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b>Blazing Globe - D - Magic Affinity D, Energized D, Fire Affinity E, Magic Range E, Magic AOE E:</b> Casting a fireball of sorts to fly at an area up to 30 feet, exploding in a 30-foot radius. 1 Post Cooldown.</li>
</ul><br>
Renee took a deep breath and sighed smiling. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Not bad, Scylla. Your magic has gotten better recently. Keep it up and you'll be on my level. </span></b>" The witch stated smiling at her apprentice. She then continued walking, passing Arthur's decrypted body on the ground that had been completely hollowed out by Vulm. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Come on, Scylla. We got to get up to that bright spire at the top.</span></b> " Renee pointed at the top. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">That will be our way out. We will meet with the others along the way.</span></b> " Although Renee wasn't even sure if they were still in these ruins of the once be castle. Or even alive. At this point, that did not matter. What mattered was getting out of here and being able to destroy her old master. The book held the secret, thanks to Dahak showing Renee what it could do. It finally made sense what it was capable of doing. It could possibily tear this realm asunder. This book was the answer! Renee pulled out the Codexius Choaxirs and stared at the grafted book made of skin. Renee nodded opening it up, she flipped through the pages as she lifted her hand and the pages began to flip open themselves. <br>
<br>
Renee laughed just as the pages glowed and the ruins around her and Scylla began to move and float, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I have power over this hold!</span></b> " Renee roared as she held her hands out, "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> I am no longer chained and bound to you, My Master! </span></b>" Renee called as ethereal chained cuffs appeared on Renee's wrists and connected to each other, they moved then broke into nothingess. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You have no control anymore. </span></b>" Renee spoked quietly looking at the spire. The castle around Renee and Scylla began to rebuild itself in a matter of minutes. Rock, wood and corpses began to mend the great lost castle that was Inquiry's Fall. Eventually the entire castle was rebuilt once more. The Codex would stop glowing and fall onto the floor, Renee fell onto the floor, exhausted. Breathing heavily, she stared at the grafted book. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> I will... Defeat you. </span></b>" Renee spoke through each heavy breath. <br>

<b><i>Auldlich</i></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1675317838782-png.1062391/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/999/999521-a035a6772aad4a31a63a96d7dcb6068d.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1675317838782.png" title="1675317838782.png" width="100" height="134" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Auldlich stared at the small group, seeing they were planning their attack on him, " What, you think you'll get me because I am not such a major threat? " Auldlich asked. " <i><span style="color: #a38f84"><b>I may not be as terrifying as Naberius and Vulm, but I can guarantee I am much crueler than either one of them.</b></span></i> " Auldlich stated with an eerie smile, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">But I shall go along with your little game. Humor you cute little specimens in the meantime.</span></i></b> " The four-armed bishop crossed his arms staring at Hope and Iberis once they initialized their plan. Although Auldlich's smile disappeared realizing that one was missing. "<b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> Where is the little vampire at? They're usually supposed to be stronger than she was, using blood magics and such. </span></i></b>" He then sniffed the air and smelled the dead blood of Kalina, "<b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> There you are... </span></i></b>" Auldlich chuckled as he side stepped from Kalina's attack grabbing her good arm again. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Are you so daft and angry that you'd think I wouldn't be able to smell you coming? Sneaky little rogue. Didn't have a contingency plan did you now?</span></i></b> " Kalina was lifted into the air by her one arm as she would feel a sharp pain in her back along with seeing a splash of blood in front of her arms, the pain moved to her chest. Looking, Kalina would see the arm of Auldlich sticking through her chest. <br>
<br>
" <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">So pathetic, so weak, so boring.</span></i></b> " Auldlich ripped his arm out of Kalina and tossed her to the side just as Iberis and Hope unleashed their attacks again on Auldlich. He sure loved to talk, the combined attack of Iberis and Hope struck deep into the tall lich, knocking him backwards across the sands on the ground. He growled and whimpered, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Ah.... You damn fools... Do you have any idea who I am!?</span></i></b> " He yelled as he began to slowly pick himself up off the ground, a dark shadow loomed underneath him. Kalina, despite having been embarrassed twice with her arm being chopped off and an arm driven through her chest. She could still move but just barely. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You are fools to think you could try and take on a Member of the Blue Viscera Occult Council. </span></i></b>" Auldlich growled as he got onto his knees, his armor and face were cracked due to Iberis' and Hope's teamwork. And addition to Kalina's bodily sacrifice. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Strike me down. So I can return to the shadows. </span></i></b>" Auldlich held his arms out for them to finally finish him as he was smiling and staring at the grey and dreary sky. <br>
<br>
Although as the bishop had surrendered himself to death, the castle in the back that was Inquiry's Fall, nothing more than a ruin, had begun to reform and take shape again with the walls and wood floating into the air and melding into the shape of a castle once more. Into Inquiry's Fall. The massive castle had been rebuilt, but by who? They could leave Auldlich and help Kalina then move to the castle, or they could kill Auldlich. Whatever they wanted to do was up to them. Kalina would survive her wounds thanks to her Regeneration. But something weird was going on at the castle, and they may want to get there and see what is happening.</div>

Hope shrunk back, her eyes constricting in sentiment as Kalina was struck with another one of Vulm's vicious attacks. But just as soon as he tossed Kalina away, her magic connected, and that was that. For a second, she couldn't believe it. The bastard had just given up - just like that! It'd only taken four spells, but he was already on his knees, just waiting for her. Just <i>begging</i> for it. <br>
<br>
Hope felt a wave of adrenaline course through her as she clamped a hand over her catalyst. It would've been so easy. Just one more spell; one orb through the head and another through the chest, and it would be over. Then, that delightful feeling would come rushing back again. And it would've been <i>all</i> justified. After all, he'd <i>chosen </i>to fight them, didn't he? She was only defending herself, right? It was all fair game. Who said she couldn't have a wee bit of fun?  <br>
<br>
The idea sounded so convincing until she looked at the bleeding form of Kalina. With almost half of the woman's arm missing and a sizeable hole through her chest, she wasn't sure <i>how</i> Kalina could still be alive. And rather than checking up on her, she was about to execute a monster. All just for a quick thrill. Hope felt a spike of guilt pierce through her stomach. How could she be so selfish? <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Kalina! Oh, I'm <i>so </i>sorry!"</span> </b>Hope shrieked, running up to her comrade and trying to support her with her arms. She tried not to pay attention to the blood. There was <i>so</i> much of it. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Come on, screw this guy! We've gotta get you out of here!"</span></b><br>
<br>
Hope looked around wildly, and her eyes eventually fell upon the castle, gradually growing in the distance. It wasn't doing that before. Maybe it was the others? If they hadn't fallen out here, then perhaps they were inside. Only one way to find out. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Iberis!"</span> </b>Hope called out, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Forget him. Kalina's hurt; we need to get to the castle!" </span></b>Carefully, she draped one of Kalina's arms over her shoulder and tried lifting the woman to her feet. While doing so, Hope caught of glance at Audilich, and she realized something. The bastard wouldn't just let them leave. Not without throwing something at them first. She'd have to take care of that. <br>
<br>
Shutting her eyes, Hope raised her palms and channeled her magic. She imagined chains, vines, glue, <i>something </i>that could tie the lich down. Then, something clicked, and an aqueous, iridescent black blob of magic flew out of her hands, followed by nine others that homed towards Audilich's arms and legs, aiming to ensnare them in chaotic <b>[Detainment -D]. </b>Hope didn't bother to watch. She was already dragging Kalina towards the newly-formed castle in the distance. <br>

<br>
Scylla was panting, almost heaving as the spell she had just fired required an immense amount of concentration. Bewildered she looked where the demon had been thrown and buried. “It.. worked?” She asked with wonder. She was almost convinced that she wouldn’t have made it past this. So this was a very welcome turn of events. A fact that was further affirmed by her mentor Renee who stood nearby looking up towards the spire. <br>
<br>
“T-thank you madam Renee, let us depart.” She said with a nod. She fiddled with the coat over her figure, re arranging it to fit more comfortably after being launched away. <br>
<br>
The witch wouldn’t delay, as she began to walk after Renee she noticed what remained of Arthur. She looked at him as a sadness began to well within her. She had barely even known him very long.<br>
 Taking one of the many bullet shells scattered all over the ground she placed it in her robes, before taking out her handkerchief and pressing the cloth against her eyes. She’d then put the delicate, pink fabric in Arthur’s hand. “I’m so sorry Arthur. Thank you for helping us get past this place. I.. I’ll never forget you.” Before she could explode into a teary eyed fit she ripped herself away from Arthur’s lifeless body and hurried after Renee. <br>
<br>
It wasn’t long before they reached the bottom of the castle up ahead. “How do you suppose we’ll get way up there Renee?” Scylla’s bubbly personality beginning to shine through like the sun after a rainy day. However right after she said that, the arch witch was able break some kind of enchantment making the both of them rise above the ground. Scylla would have a hard time not turning upside down. “Uh.. master?” She asked, as the ethereal chains were broken, signifying the breaking of some kind of curse.<br>
<br>
The castle suddenly began to reanimate, or reset back to some formal version of it or simply back to what it used to be. Seeing everything upside down was quite the experience for Scylla. Seeing the countless pieces, and corpses fusing together to remake the structure. <br>
<br>
“Whooaaa!” <br>
 <br>
Before long they stopped floating, getting up she looked around as she dusted herself. “Well, that was quite.. something, wasn’t-“ noticing madam Renee exhausted, Scylla helped her up, gently picking her up by the arm. Then upon hearing her words and tone she felt a terrifying chill. The deep hatred she had for her former master was immense, and it would appear she’d stop at nothing to make it happen. <br>
<br>
“I’d offer you some cake madam, but.. uhm.. it’s not exactly fresh. Come on, let’s get to that spire hm?” She attempted a smile, which would really come off as too big of a smile. She had a funny way of always, ‘over smiling’ during tense situations.</div>

It was almost as if she could hear Renee in her head then and there telling her to kill this being. She could cast a slew of spells on him now and end his life. Every inch of her wanted to kill him after seeing what he did to Kalina, severely injured it was completely up in the air if she would get out of there alive. She didn't want to only want to finish him off, she had a strong desire to do it nice and slowly, target areas she thought that wouldn't be fatal as many times as possible to inflict as much pain on him as possible, now that would have been justice for what he just did to Kalina. So what if they came into this realm looking for power, these beings had assaulted them when they could have made things all so easier. <br>
<br>
When she saw Hope having the full opportunity to kill him and not taking it opting to restrain him instead. Iberis realized that she wouldn't have many more opportuntities like this.  It was a bit hard to hear Hope and not immediately come running over but before any more big bads showed up Iberis had some business with the bishop she wanted to deal with. "I'll be over in a minute you should get a move on with Kalina." Iberis called back.<br>
<br>
  For the moment she stayed put keeping a decent distance from the now detained large undead.<br>
<br>
 "I could strike you down where you stand. In exchange for my mercy, Tell me. I can tell you believe that we'll all die here anyway, wouldn't it be much more pleasing for you if you got to survive and saw the victory that you've all been working towards? The fruits of your labor paying off..coming into my world..the cult's new home Ryke.. even if there's the slightest chance  left wouldn't you rather see that after so many years?" She said her voice taking on a much more serious tone, it was probably pretty clear what she was driven by in that moment to the four armed one. With her full range of magic no longer on cool down  she really could strike him down. While she spoke hopefully she was being <b>Enticing.</b> <br>
<br>
"Tell me how you raised an army like the one we saw earlier, who knows maybe I'll put it to good use one day." <br>
<br>
She asked and suggested, teasing the notion further that she wasn't as innocent as she seemed from a surface level. Very much directly asking him how they raised the dead or brought forth those entities she had seen.<br>
<br>
<b>[Enticer]</b> character can recognize what others want and hold it out for them to consider. Character is better at reading what others want. If character has an identified want, they have an edge in persuading those that want it. Not all enjoy being manipulated. More likely to offend or anger targets of persuasion that use this method if it doesn't work.</div>

Considering she was an undead, keeping track her weight had never been too much of a concern to her. However, the sudden loss of a few pounds due to having a gaping hole in her chest did cause her some concern. The pain made it tough to focus on what was going on, but more even than the pain was the thirst. Her vampiric survival instincts were desperate to have her drink blood and heal before she'd pass out from the blood-loss. Angry as she might've been, right now, a pure animalistic survival instinct had taken over.<br>
<br>
It's why Hope getting closer and trying to lift Kalina up was too much for the vampire. The Fae woman she'd already been interested in hoisting her so close to her body? Kalina would find herself trying to sink her fang's in the Fae woman's shoulder before she could good and well even realise what she was doing. With Kalina's teeth being relatively dull, however, it would be an easy effort for Hope to throw the vampire off before she could pierce through the skin...<br>
<br>
Which was exactly what happened, as the vampire had barely started to draw blood before the Fae jumped off. Whether it was the suddenness or the shock of her own actions, Kalina turned paler than she already was due to the blood-loss. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Fuck! I'm sorry.. I didn't meant to... want to... Ugh... fuck it hurts...”</b></span> Stuck between trying to talk, trying to stop bleeding to death and fighting off to urge to persist trying to drink blood from the Fae, she felt absolutely horrible.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm sorry. I can't...”</b></span> She wasn't even sure how to finish her sentence, as pain and bloodlust were trying yet again to bring out the monster in her. That little voice in the back of her mind that was telling her 'screw this, lick your lips, taste that snippet of Fae blood, it'll be delicious, now get some more!' was growing louder and louder. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No, fuck off! I'm not giving in again!”</b></span> She shouted to herself more than anyone. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'd fucking die first!”</b></span> She continued, as she felt light-headed enough to almost feint just from getting angry. At this rate, was she really going to die?<br>
<br>
Just due to wanting to be in control? Why did she even care? Just let it go. Be her 'real' self. It'd be so much easier. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No...”</b></span> She continued. She then looked at Iberis, her eyes oddly frightened. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You'll have to knock me out or something, I'm not sure if I can abstain from trying to bite someone again... Please...”</b></span><br>

As Scylla moved along and took one of the many shells that Arthur had sprayed, she would feel some sort of coldness emitting off of the one she picked up. Surprisingly Scylla would feel two hands on her shoulders like someone was watching over her. But looking there would be no one there, although the coldness she felt would turn to warmth, one of the many things missing in this undead realm. Upon being on the ground, Renee felt a hand take her arm and her body be lifted back up onto her feet. Renee saw it was Scylla and smiled at her apprentice, leaning against her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders to keep herself from falling back down, Renee felt the extent of her exhaustion. She could barely stand or move, using the Codex of Death was having lingering effects on Renee. Her recovery was slowed down as the two kept moving, Renee would pick up the codex again as they moved into the castle of Inquiry's Fall. Scylla would say something about cake which made Renee laugh, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Cake? No thank you, Scylla. It would only go to my hips and thighs. Can't be having that.</span></b> " Renee stated with a happy smile at her apprentice. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Now come on, help me into this oversized castle.</span></b> " Renee began to slowly walk into the castle, hanging onto Scylla for help.<br>
<br>
Although as the two took a step in, they would see that the castle they had entered was nothing like it was previously, it was much more flourished and cleaner, no dust and debris. There were hardly any remnants of the eternal undead that were fighting. It was as if the castle was reconstructed like it was previously before being brought to this undead dimension. There were suits of armor that gleamed in the torchlight whilst holding newly sharpened swords with shields. They were nothing more than display collections, although their weapons did look dangerous. As Scylla helped Renee through the atrium of Inquiry's Fall, a figure would appear on the large staircase on the top, making it's appearance known. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">It has been some time, Witch.</span></b> " The massive figure of a cloaked being that looked eldritch at first glance, a massive hump on it's back followed with an eye looking through this hump while having a candle on it's head whilst it held a long shovel that emitted a dark magic that Scylla would feel in her heart and soul, a strange feeling it was. Following after this cloaked beast was a small child wearing a cloak and carrying a smaller shovel. Their eyes only able to be seen, although their eyes were greyed over like they were dead and were unresponsive to nearly everything.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1675932136647-png.1064197/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1001/1001327-e8e7b2e90d205fc7b5e14f652945e963.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1675932136647.png" title="1675932136647.png" width="100" height="143" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
"<b> <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Choax. </span></b>" Renee called out. She remembered this beast well; it was a very strange enigma to the witch. It's first appearance was in that dungeon of Dahak's back in that town near Kananto, that was utterly destroyed by undead thanks to Renee allowing Dahak to live. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You know Dahak is dead, right?</span></b> " Renee asked, in which Choax only gave a laugh that sounded eerily similar to a evil laugh, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You believe Dahak is dead? The necromancer is a very persistent individual. Powerful. Angry. Talented. </span></b>" Choax spoke, it's voice was bone chilling, it sounded like a beast that was bloodthirsty yet had this tone that was cold like the grave. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You think he lives?</span></b> " Renee asked with a hiss of pain as she tried to readjust herself. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">He was my Skullbearer for a time. He knows how to defy death itself. If he dead, I will be disappointed in his wasted potential. </span></b>" Choax chuckled as it reached a gangly and outstretched hand out and patted the child gently on its head while it did not react. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Why are you here, Choax? Actually, how did you get here?</span></b> " Renee asked with narrowed eyes. Choax took its hand away from the small child and turned its gaze to Renee and Scylla. "<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> I am here to consider my choices, child. The book you hold is mine that I've created. It is thanks to my efforts that you are even still breathing at this current moment at this current time. The choices that will be made will determine what the future holds for everything of this realm. For its literal creation to its possible destruction.</span></b> " Choax spoke, which Renee stared at the entity with disbelief, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">What are you even talking about, ghoul? </span></b>" The witch asked in which the large ghoul cackled, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Nothing you can hope to understand, child.</span></b> " The ghoul let the end of its shovel touch the ground in which the child began to move towards both Scylla and Renee. <br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Are you here to get in our way?</span></b> " Renee asked as the child continued walking down the stairs towards the two witches while holding its shovel on its shoulder. "<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> I am here to determine what will happen in the end. If that means I am to stand within your path. Then so be it. </span></b>" Choax spoke eerily. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">The book would be all that I ask for. Although since I've last seen you, that twinkle and light is no longer in your eyes, witch. It seems you have truly given yourself up to your own cage of madness. Another prisoner of ambition and self-indulgence.</span></b> " Choax's muzzle widened into a crazy smile, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You are nothing more than a hollowed-out husk.</span></b> " Choax stated, Renee growled " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I am sick of all you entities who think they know me. It is irritating to hear constantly.</span></b> " The witch clenched her fists as she pulled her journal out. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Oh, but we do know you, witch. I can see right through you. Through your facade.</span></b> " Choax's eyes glowed under its cloak, an evil orange. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You just don't want to accept the truth and keep hiding away from it. Or you do know and don't want others to know.</span></b> " Renee then stood by herself and glared evilly at Choax and the child apporaching them. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Scylla, be careful. The child is a Skullbearer. Think of them as a living corpse that the hound ghoul commands. A puppet. </span></b>" Renee explained to her apprentice. The child still wearing the cloak approached the two slowly, the shovel on its shoulder was flat but pointed like a spear, it was sharp looking but old. The child would stop about fifteen feet away from the two, staring at them and seeing what they were going to do first before determining a action. <br>

As Auldlich gave himself up to these three, his crooked and evil smile turned to a frown once the one he desired most that was Hope left him, Auldlich's eyes turned to hate. His soon to be Despair would not come to fruition. She'd rather go and help that weak vampire that was too much in a cycle of bloodlust and torpor. She disgusted Auldlich. She chose her friend over killing Auldlich, there was no potential for Hope to become the vision of Despair that the lich hoped for. Auldlich was basically going to give up, nto even reacting to Hope's bounds, as he allowed it to take him, not that it hurt him really with him already being dead. But then Auldlich's eyes looked up seeing the young witch, Iberis approach him. <br>
<br>
With Iberis' words, Auldlich snorted, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>Mercy? I care little for your mercy. I care for the return of our great lords, Ryke Bulvark and Rosan Bulvark, the great lovers of our people and siblings that have betrayed and stained life itself. A king and queen fit to rule our people. That is what I live and unlive for, young one. </i></span></b>" Auldlich spoke. "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i> My people will do without me. We have close to our goal and infiltrated a large majority of Ryke. Nothing you can do will stop or slow our progress down.</i></span></b> " Auldlich explained. "<b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> I am nothing more than a martyr for those I have led thus far.</span></i></b> " Although while Iberis' Enticing didn't work the way she had intended, he did reveal information on their goals, whether it be purposeful or on accident. Although with Iberis' next line of questioning, it did make the undead laugh, " That requires sacrifice. Sacrifice of time, energy and resources. " Auldlich looked at the shackles that were on him, he moved forward and fell onto his hands and knees before raising a hand and slamming it down, the shackles broke with a violent reaction to Auldlich's dark magics that broke the binds that held him, although he move back onto his knees and stared at Iberis. "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i> I can show you how to do such a thing. </i></span></b>" The lich explained. <br>
<br>
Although before Iberis could react to his line, Iberis would feel her left leg sink into the sands below up to her thigh, looking down she would see a black hole around her leg that caused it to sink with a trail of black leading back to one of Auldlich's hands that laid on the ground while projecting the dark magic. Then it would close on Iberis' leg, severing her leg completely. While Iberis reacted to her leg being chopped off and disappearing, the dark hole would appear before Auldlich with Iberis' leg floating up to the surface like it was water. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>The leg of a young witch. A maiden none the less. </i></span></b>" Auldlich lifted the leg up then sniffed it deeply. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Blood is power. A virgin's blood is the most precious and sought after resource one can obtain. And here it is. I will show how you can use this to your advantage. </span></i></b>" The lich spoke to the most likely freaking out witch that was Iberis. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">One of the many offerings one can do. The gift of flesh and blood. </span></i></b>" Auldlich explained, whether Iberis was listening or not. Auldlich lifted the leg into the air as it began to sizzle with a darkness, the skin melted and bone deteriorated, like it was going through the process of decay. <br>
<br>
" <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Old Beings of the Dead Earth, hear me and listen. An offer of a Virgin's leg I give to thee. Thou giveth the gift of necromancy to this young girl. A whelp on the roads of darkest magicks and even darker goals. Fulfill her ambitions and curiosity. Show her the way and guide her.</span></i></b> " Auldlich chanted quietly as he arose and moved towards Iberis with all four arms stretched out to the young witch. Iberis' leg now gone and disappearing into the air like ash on the wind. " <i><span style="color: #a38f84"><b>You will know how to raise an army of your making, my apprentice.</b></span></i> " Auldlich grabbed Iberis by her arms and pulled her close, his eyes stared at Iberis' as the witch's eyes and head would burn, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Know this knowledge and use it for thy lofty goals. Satisfy thy ambitious aspirations.</span></i></b> " Audlich placed a hand over Iberis' face and lifted her up covering her eyes, Iberis would feel sharp pain in her cut off leg, what felt like worms moving into her flesh. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Giveth this lamb the ability to walk once more Old Beings of the Dead Earth. Allow my arm to become a substitute for thy ritual of Dismemberment. Graft her a new leg for her to use.</span></i></b> " An intense pain would fill Iberis' entire being as she would feel a darkness travel through her body, like a body trying to climb into her like a suit. This pain felt worse than her own leg getting cut off for only a moment before she would be released and allowed to fall onto the sandy earth. Auldlich stood before her with a smile on his face, lifting three arms into the air, one of his longer arms missing. " <i><span style="color: #a38f84"><b>Oh, blessed be, thou allowed to walk this earth once more by the Old Beings of the Dead Earth. Thou are a chosen candidate. </b></span></i>" Looking to her leg, Iberis would see that it had been restored by Auldlich himself at the cost of one of his arms that he seemed to not care for. Before Iberis could ask or react, her head would become filled with knowledge that Auldlich had known, she would see visions pass by of Auldlich doing the art of Graft. The mending and stitching of tissue to another, this encapsuled the use of dead body parts. <br>
<br>
Something Auldlich did as he stitched body parts with one another to create beings that would listen to him. Puppets if you will. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Your art of Grafting will be a work of art and the true path to creating an army. </span></i></b>" Auldlich spoke, three spirits appeared before Iberis, in the form of her, wearing her exact same clothes and had her body type although their faces were missing and nothing more than blank faces. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">And a gift from me for you to project yourself in multiple places as well, young Iberis. We are one now. More than you realize little witch. We are inseparable.</span></i></b> " Auldlich cackled, Iberis would see in the back of her mind that it was burned with the face of Auldlich, a haunting visage. She was no longer an innocent young girl. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You best move on, Iberis, you don't want to be left behind her and have lost your leg for nothing. </span></i></b>" The depraved Bishop spoke.<br>
<br>
Hope and Kalina would begin to approach the rising castle of Inquiry's Fall with Kalina and see Renee and Scylla in the entrance of the castle, along with a small child and large cloaked being holding a glowing shovel on its shoulder.</div>

 </b>​</div><br>
Hopped up on adrenaline, Hope subconsciously accepted Iberis' request to go on ahead. After all, Iberis was right; Kalina needed help right <i>now</i>! She couldn't just dilly-dally while her friend bled away! Iberis could just catch up later, right? She could handle it all by herself just fine, <i>right? </i>Even as her heart kept pounding, Hope gave it a brief moment of thought. And all of it sounded <i>wrong. </i><br>
<br>
She tried shaking the nonsense out of her head. What was she thinking? No, she couldn't leave Iberis behind! Not with that <i>thing </i>still behind her! What if he tried to hurt her? What if he had <i>one</i> more disgusting trick up his sleeve? She couldn't let it happen. She had to go back!<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Kalina, wait!"</span> </b>Hope said, her eyes becoming as wide as saucers, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"We've gotta get-"</span> </b>But just before Hope could finish her sentence, she watched as Kalina leaned into her, and a sharp, piercing pain ran through her shoulder. Hope let out a small shriek on instinct and jumped away from Kalina, staring at her fearfully. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"What the hell was that?! Did you just..."</span> </b>Her eyes trailed to Kalina's mouth, stained with a viscous dark blue fluid. Hope checked her shoulder, and the liquid was there, too, streaming out of two little holes.<br>
<br>
Hope shakily turned her gaze back to Kalina, panic starting to quicken her breath. Audilich was right. Naberius was right. Kalina w<i>as </i>a vampire - an undead, just like all the other monsters in this realm. And she'd just tried to <i>bite </i>her. Right when she was being kind, too! Just like the other <i>backstabbing </i>monsters. She took a step back, her hand shooting up to her catalyst. Of course, it had tricked her! Was this <i>monster</i> planning this all along? Was it just <i>waiting</i> to catch her off guard, so it could kill her and <i>laugh</i> at how stupid she was? Like hell, it would! She'd have to get rid of it first!<br>
<br>
But then it started speaking. Apologizing, just like those <i>stupid </i>slimes. It was probably thinking that would work on her. As if she couldn't tell what it was <i>really</i> thinking. Angrily, Hope narrowed her eyes, focusing her <b>[Sixth Sense- Chaos] </b>on Kalina. Swathes of blue, woeful energy emanated from Kalina, followed by a blanket of anxious purple, all fighting a growing mixture of searing red and orange.<br>
<br>
The sight had knocked Hope out of her adrenaline-fueled rage. She wasn't expecting this. These feelings were <i>real. </i>Kalina <i>was</i> terrified; she w<i>as </i>trying to fight against <i>something</i> for<i> them! </i>Kalina wasn't acting like these cruel monsters at all. She was at least <i>trying</i> to still be a friend. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"<i>And what am I doing?" </i></b></span><br>
<br>
Hope felt herself quake with terror as the contrast started to dawn on her.<span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"D-Don't worry, Kalina! It's okay! I'm here! You're going to be fine, I promise!" </b></span>Hope stammered, her voice full of pity, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"God, I'm not thinking straight and..." </b></span>She shook her head, throwing the woman's arm over her, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Forget it! Renee will know what do. I've got you!" </span></b>Hope shut her eyes and channeled her magic into binding appendages, <b>[Magic F + Tangle F] </b>supporting Kalina, but restraining her head, keeping her out of biting range. As she did so, she could've sworn she'd heard Audilich break out of his bindings further behind her. She prayed Iberis had got the message, too. <br>
<br>
After a slow trek, she eventually made it to the entrance of the castle. She hadn't looked back; certain Iberis <i>had</i> to be following. Up ahead, there were a few familiar and unfamiliar faces. She didn't pay attention to the hump-backed beast or its grey-eyed servant. There were more important things at hand. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Scylla! Renee!" </b></span>Hope said languidly, trudging up to them. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Kalina's hurt, and she's acting all... I dunno. Come on! You've got to help her!" </b></span></div>

<br>
Truthfully Iberis's efforts to be enticing hadn't exactly worked the way she wanted. Iberis was also a bit too preoccupied with what was happening on her end of things to know exactly what started happening with Hope and Kalina who had been injured. It seemed that this being had very little care whether he lived or died at this point from her perspective. That was made even more apparent when he called himself a martyr, and ended up explaining their beliefs in greater detail which she was curious about despite the high risk dangerous situation.  She was listening to him so intently she hadn't even tried to interject. Was this really the best use of her time when time was of. the essense? What about Kalina and her injuries?  Sacrifice of time and resources?  She cared more about when he spoke to her about what she wanted to hear about that much was clear.This opportunity was too great for Iberis to ignore regardless. It was too late to go back now.  She found herself becoming increasingly nervous what she had gotten into when  she saw that Auldlich had broken his bonds just like that. Wait he could really show her? She felt  a moment of excitement, perhaps this had been the right choice. That didn't stop her from tensing  up  as she  gripped her staff hard getting ready to cast in response if she needed too  when she felt her self suddenly sink into the ground before she could even really get a proper response out.<br>
<br>
That was then followed by a horrible feeling of her leg being severed which she bit lip hard and further tensed her face showing pain on it. She was so shocked that she didn't even call out or scream like one might expect suddenly her leg was there then it wasn't attached. She was so focused on her leg being gone she had a harder time paying attention to the words that the multi-armed undead one was speaking about. She did get the virgin bit into her mind that it was valuable material, but it was HER material being used. If he didn't restore her leg she was going to die in that dimension she thought to herself there were too many enemies around them..her casting wasn't good enough, and she was the only one there it was apparent that Kalina and hope had gone on.. She watched her own leg melt before her..what even was this power? She listened to his words because what else could she do? She was in no condition to cast in this mental state to retaliate..was he holding up his end of the bargain?...suddenly more of a calmness came over her when he heard him say apprentice..that meant that it was unlikely he was going to kill her...<br>
Was she really about to learn the powers that this realm had to offer? Her eyes lit up as she heard the word neceromancery even under these dire circumstances..this was going to expand her power well beyond what she even thought before that much was clear. That positive feeling once more was difficult to maintain when she felt the burning, like he was branding her mind.<br>
This time she couldn't remain silent letting out a cry of pain. she'd squirm immediately  with discomfort and panick  when he placed his hand on her face and felt the invasive feeling of worms crawling in the leg. Then she felt the invader another sound of pain leaving her that was even more intense, it had probably been impressive that she had restrained so much from expressing herself but this was completely overwhelming.<br>
<br>
This was all so fast, as she suddenly had all of this knowledge that she hadn't had before prior to her very body feeling invaded. So this is how he did it...grafting she somehow knew what it was called despite never seeing it done before a testament to his knowledge shared with her. If he knew how to do all of this..certainly there was more power she could gain from this realm, it was just all so overwhelming in that moment. She found herself concerned by the three figures unsure what they meant. What exactly had she done? She had clearly accepted part of this Bishop into her from her understanding..she could see his face so well in the back of her mind in detail. She had gone this far she saw no other option than to hone this grafting she had learned about..she could then build the army she so desired. Despite all of these disturbing things, Iberis looked back calming down some once the pain died down and her mind was able to slow down, almost dry heaving from the experience sweating quite a bit..when she started to cool down.<br>
<br>
"Thank you..I'll put this gift to good use." She finally spoke when she could muster the words. She listened to what he had to say, making her way to regroup with the others using her remaining movement actions to get a move on now that her legs worked again.</div>

The taste on her lips was irresistibly sweet, as she licked off the remnants of delicious Fae blood that covered them. However, that sweet taste was almost entirely negated by the bitter taste of defeat. First at the hand of that undead, now at the hands of her monstrous nature. Hope's initial reaction made that defeat feel all the more shameful. So many times had she been treated like a monster without deserving it, that she thought she could no longer care about how others would treat her. Yet now that she was actually deserving of such treatment, it hurt so much more than she thought something could. With Hope reaching for her catalyst, Kalina let her head hang, figuring she might as well let it happen and spent the last bits of her life fighting off the desire to go in for more blood.<br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>

<br>
…<br>
<br>
That's when she heard Hope's voice, as she heard her sounding oddly pitiful. Were she in a better situation, some pride in her might've snapped at that. Right now, all she could feel was confusion. And thirst. And pain. The latter two didn't seem to want leave her alone, although [Blood Drinker F] had gotten her just enough to at least slow the bleeding a little. A different emotion made its way into her system, however, upon the mention of Renee. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Wait.. no... if she sees me like this...”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She knew how pitiful she must look if even this relative stranger felt bad for her. She knew how badly she'd fucked up attacking a friend. How badly she'd fucked up getting this wounded in the first place. What in the world was Renee going to think about that? She'd <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-february-2023-event.524557/#post-11588098" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-february-2023-event.524557%2F%23post-11588098&amp;hash=aa9e1d8ef18059fe4d73a8180c3de761">sent her a letter</a> not too long ago, in which she'd already expressed some weakness. Yet Renee didn't seem eager to sit down and talk, so what if her current situation would have Renee cast her aside altogether? What if it'd be enough to break their sisterly bond?<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“She shouldn't see me like this, just... leave me.”</b></span> Yes, that would be better. She tried to look at Hope, but the moment she did, she almost instinctively tried to lurch for the bleeding shoulder again. It was a good thing she was held in place, as although she might be able to break free from it, it at least managed to make her snap back. It didn't allow her to suppress the fact her eyes would reveal a weird mixture of longing, fear and pain. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'll be okay soon, I'm a vampire. I'll just... have to take a bit, that's all.”</b></span> Honestly, she wasn't quite sure, but she hated the alternative of being dragged towards Renee in her current state far more than risking her life on this.<br>
<br>
Turning her head away from Hope, she was able to suppress the thirst a little easier. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I know it's much to ask, but please, this has to stay between us... I swear I'll do what I can to make sure this never happens again... I'm sorry, but she can't see me when I'm this pathetic... she can't.”</b></span> With what strength she had left, she would do what she could to resist heading for Renee, currently fearing her reaction more than she feared whatever else was going on in this insane realm. <br>

Scylla turned around, with a gasp shortly after picking up the round shell. A sudden chill came over her, before shivering a bit as the feeling seemed to thaw. It was then she wondered if Arthur was still alive, of course, it would make sense, this being the world of the dead after all.<br>
<br>
—<br>
<br>
As the witch helped Renee move onward towards her goal, she was happily relived that in spite of all the violence her mentor still retained her sense of humor. In this case, with regards to her pastry offer. She’d giggle as the student witch pulled her hat up from her eyes due to helping Renee,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Oh i’m sure your many admirers would adore you no matter what! But.. perhaps this isn’t the best time to be talking about dessert.” </span>Scylla would then nod at Renee’s request for help, to which she’d oblige.<br>
<br>
When Scylla and Renee entered the freshly re-constructed castle, the witch couldnt help but look around, getting a little nervous about the apparently empty plate armor sets. Perhaps she was getting a little too paranoid, although, the paranoia seemed to have gotten her out of all manner of trouble so far. As they made their way deeper into the spire, a most disturbing voice made itself known. When the voice stated it had been some time, Scylla naively assumed it was about her,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Y-yes it has hasn’t it? I.. could you remind me who-“ </span>Suddenly an abomination made its presence known just up ahead. Scylla’s eyes widened, a familiar panic began to set in, just how many more horrible creatures would they encounter in this dark and gloomy underworld?<br>
<br>
The conversation that followed made Scylla stand up a little straighter, as talk about Dahak not being dead, and the amount of history between Choax and Renee was astounding! Just how had she acquired such questionable relations with all of these various necromantic types? All she could mutter was,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Dahak? Is.. not dead?”</span><br>
<br>
Then things took a turn for the worse, as tensions suddenly escalated after being prompted for Choax’s intentions<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">. “W-wait a minute! Choax you’re telling me that you want this book so you can control this realm? Isn’t that a little silly? I mean, im not sure if you know, but there is a whole portal that just opened and.. well.. what came out of that portal was also looking for this book. And believe me, if you take this book from us they'll find a way soon or later to find you. Just like they did to us. How about we join forces? We cant work together somehow?</span><br>
<br>
<br>
Then Choax would made some fairly petty comments at Renee, to which it seemed to visibly agrivate her friend.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Uh.. there’s more than enough twinkle in Renee’s eyes Choax. I think you’re just trying to wreck her self esteem. Lighten up. err.. i mean.. look.. we just want to get out of here. This book as far as were concerned was taken either by force or by fair trade. Theres a reason this book has chosen Renee, its otherworldy and it seems to have its own intelliegence.”</span><br>
<br>
When the skull bearer made her way towards the two, Scylla took a few steps back. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“H-hey.. not one more step, missy!”</span><br>
<br>
Scylla had nothing, and she wasn’t willing to possible start something incredibly dangerous with this eldritch fiend. If it was possible to negotiate something she’d want to at least try to come to an agreement if she could.<br>
<br>
It was then that footsteps could be heard not far from where they were standing.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Oh? Well, aren’t you guys a sight for sore eyes! Uh.. we seem to be having a bit of a problem here.” </span>Scylla smiled nervously, still helping Renee keep her footing.</div>

With the entrance of Choax and its Skullbearer, Renee narrowed her eyes eerily at the approaching child with its shovel. The massive figure that was Choax chuckled at Scylla's questioning of Dahak. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Who is to say, child. Dahak is a very resourceful necromancer. One full of hate and ambition. If he truly tricked Naberius. Cudos to him. I had trained him too well. </span></b>" The rat like figure made its way down the stairs, its shovel glowing with necrotic magic and the jump on its back staring at the two with its flame lighting the way. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Control this realm? No. I cannot control this realm, but I did create the book thanks to help from a witch and Auldlich a long time ago. The book is of this realm, a secret we uncovered a long time ago, child. It holds the secrets to everything you could imagine. Immortality. Control. Power. Knowledge. It was a book not meant to be conceived.</span></b> " This Choax explained. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Those others that came out of the portal you speak of are allies of mine. </span></b>" The gravedigger pointed at Renee and Scylla. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">She is far gone, child. The look in her eye looked like Dahak's when he was going to snap.</span></b> " An evil smile crawled across Choax' exposed muzzle. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You don't know your own ally that well, child. She is following the footsteps of Dahak and her own master.</span></b> " <br>
<br>
Renee's eyes widen, fury filled them as she listened to Choax speak. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Shut your mouth you hound!</span></b> " Renee's eyes glowed red. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Mmm, anger. A sign of guilt and truth. You know I speak the truth, witch. Yet you still hide behind the increasingly cracked facade you've created.</span></b> " Choax' Skullbearer stopped near Renee and Scylla, staring at them with its dead eyes, not moving an inch or muscle. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">The reason the book chose her is because it's been planned from the very beginning, I've guided it to choose her. Since she stepped foot in Kananto. Her fate has been sealed, child.</span></b> " Choax stated. Although when the voices of Hope were heard, it caused both Renee and Scylla to look backwards and down the steps seeing Hope dragging a severely injured Kalina. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1676269391952-png.1065180/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1002/1002310-e8e7b2e90d205fc7b5e14f652945e963.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1676269391952.png" title="1676269391952.png" width="100" height="143" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Renee's eyes widen seeing her sister in this state, even with the sight of her own sister dying, Renee felt nothing within and that was what shocked her most. She knew she had no feelings for the vampire anymore. Although as turned her head back around, both Renee and Scylla were hit in their heads by the Skullbearer with its shovel. Causing both to fall backwards and down the stairs. Both witches would see a vision unfold before them while experiencing this awful pain. They would share this vision together. They would find themselves strapped onto a table, hands and feet constrained by thick leather straps, looking up at their hands they would have the hands of a child, realizing they both were seeing what this child had experienced. Fear, dread and confusion filled their mind as they did their best to struggle against the restraints. Although as they were laying there, a massive figure would approach and it was Choax, standing over the crying child with a smile on its face. The rotted and gnarly teeth visible, along with the smell of its dead breath, like it was a corpse. "<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> Hello there, little one. Do not worry. You will be perfect for the plan. You will be my Skullbearer.</span></b> " Choax spoke as it brought a massive claw to its face and gently caressed it. " <b><i>Wh-Where am I? Where are my mommy and daddy! </i></b>" The child sounded like a boy to which Choax patted his head. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Do not worry, my child. They will miss you. They know you are on a journey that only happens every once in a few lifetimes. Mommy and daddy are not coming. They've gifted me you.</span></b> " Choax spoke sadistically as it brought a claw down to his chest where it then ripped open the child and the pain began. Visions skipped and came back before the eyes were grabbed and pulled out, hung up on a rack above the table where the child witnessed this massive beast continue to work on the child. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You will be perfect, child.</span></b> " Screams filled the small lair that Choax was in. It was a hopeless and sick situation. The memory skipped once more with the child standing up on the floor staring ahead at the wall. There was the sound of clicking and flesh ripping with the occasional wiggle. Renee and Scylla would feel some sort of sensation in the back of their head, like an itch in their brain before it turned to pain. Pain that could not be expressed in any way, shape or form. An unimaginable pain with no mouth to scream. <br>
<br>
Finally, the memory skipped again with the child being wrapped in a cloak and given a shovel by Choax, it emitted necrotic magic. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">My Skullbearer. So beautiful. Auldlich's gift of Grafting has helped me out so much.</span></b> " Choax stared into the child's eyes despite them not being visible. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You are my ninety ninth Skullbearer. I hope for there to be ninety-nine more.</span></b> " Choax cackled before patting the puppet's head. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You will do as I demand.</span></b> " Choax stated, although this did not come from its lips but from inside the grafted child's head. The memory passed and both Renee and Scylla were on the ground, being knocked down the stairs and laying in front of Hope and Kalina. Both their heads would hurt badly whilst the unimaginable pain would fade away, although looking up they would see Choax still at the top of the stairs and the Skullbearer coming down further. Renee held her head and hissed in pain, getting up just to stumble to the side and fall over. She shook her head and looked up at Hope and Kalina before she stood up and made her way over to the two. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">What happened?</span></b> " She asked looking at her sister. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">How could you get so careless, sister?</span></b> " Renee asked, she looked to Hope, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Deal with the child. </span></b>" Renee told her, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I will do my best to help my sister.</span></b> " Renee took Kalina from Hope. Renee's eyes looked tired as she knelt down with Kalina. Renee didn't say much as she made Kalina lay down while she pulled the Codex of Death out, Renee's eyes looking at each page as she flipped through them. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Come on... I need you to kill this damn thing, Kalina... </span></b>" Renee whispered to herself as she quickly looked through each page before her eyes widen finding a page. Renee placed the book down and looked at her dying sister before Renee pushed her hand to Kalina's mouth, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Bite. And bite hard. </span></b>" Renee told her although she ended up pushing her hand into Kalina's mouth where she punctured her own hand on her fangs, while the pain was great, Renee hardly reacted at all.  The witch then pulled her hand out of Kalina's mouth and wiped the blood off her hand and scraped it in the page of the book. <br>
<br>
Renee began to whisper quietly as she placed her bloody hand over Kalina while dripping her fresh blood on her sister, her words sounded like she was speaking backwards in a chant. Renee's eyes stared up at the grey skies above while her other hand held the book in place. Kalina would feel this tight feeling in her chest like her lungs were being squeezed. Although the pain in her chest was beginning to go away, the witch closed her eyes before she clenched her bloody hand into a fist that caused much more blood to flow and fall onto Kalina, into her chest wound. Renee's expression turned to one of pain as she kept speaking this unknown language. Kalina would begin to feel more energy come back to her as when she looked, she would see her chest wound had closed up leaving behind a dark scar along with some boob action. Renee fell backwards while breathing heavy, her blood hand stinging as Renee did her best to try recuperating. She kept shutting her eyes like she was seeing something. The witch held the side of her head where there was a massive bruise from being hit by the shovel. Kalina would begin to feel a lot better, although her hand was still gone but she could move by herself now, her hand wound had now been closed from the spell or ritual was the more appropriate word, done by her sister. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Kalina... Go kill. That beast.</span></b> " Renee told her sister through her deliriousness while pointing in Choax' direction. <br>
<br>
Scylla would then wake up on the ground as well, seeing the Skullbearer moving towards her and Choax cackling on the staircase before moving down towards the group. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Little child has experienced true perfection. Why not be my thrall too, child? You would make an excellent specimen.</span></b> " Choax spoke to Scylla through the Skullbearer, it was Choax' voice. <br>
<br>
With Iberis' new knowledge in a new and forbidden field, she would have this cold feeling on her shoulder and in the back of her mind new memories would arise, the scene played out in a pretty blurry fashion like all this was a foggy memory, the details of everything were hard to see but the voices and dialogue was easy to decipher. While she trekked across the desert plains back towards the massive derelict castle, she would see herself following after a man wearing golden armor without a helmet on. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Hurry up, Auldlich. We haven't time for your slowness.</span></b> " The voice growled; the man looked like a renown general, his armor decorated in many dents, slashes and malformations. This man looked rather young though, in his twenties. He turned his head to look at Iberis, his eyes were dark and lifeless. " <span style="color: #a38f84"><b>I am, General Naberius. It's not exactly easy for an older priest such as myself.</b></span> " Iberis would speak as the two walked down a long and echoey hallway. To the sides there were blurry busts of human figures although the details hard to make out.<br>
<br>
"<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> I don't know why King Ryke called on you to be a part of this, I don't trust you religious fanatics. </span></b>" Naberius stated harshly. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">My lord, if you got to know me a little bit more. You'd know I am on the King's side. I did aid in his escape and retrieval after all.</span></b> " Auldlich spoke, " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Yes. But it's not too far off to think you'd backstab our current king. Again. Especially now that they're the last of the Bulvark bloodline. Last thing we need is another dead king. We already have a war on our hands with the King's sister. We don't need any more civil unrest. We got enough of the people trying to riot.</span></b> " Naberius was obviously stressed, he looked rather exhausted. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Of course, my lord. I can see why you'd think that. But keep in mind, Ryke Bulvark was who helped me rise up the ranks of the church. I owe him and I know who to stick with. I have the power of the church to help ease civil unrest. Even call the rioters heretics against the church and state. It will be delt with.</span></b> " Auldlich assured the general who looked not at all relieved.<br>
<br>
As the two made their way to the end of this hall, they came up to two large doors that had mirroring symbols of a lion's head with a sword through the bottom, coming out of the top. Iberis would watch Naberius push open the doors and walk on in with Auldlich following. They would come up to a large table with a massive map along with small blocks everywhere, the map looked like one of Ryke although it looked divided into two countries. On the other side of the table was a man wearing very lavish clothing while he leaned over the map with both hands on the table staring at it before looking up at Naberius and Auldlich who both bowed to this king, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Your Grace.</span></b> " Both of them spoke humbly then stood straight up. The king had bandages that wrapped around his entire head besides his eyes which looked furious and hateful. There was so much hate it would send a chill down Iberis' spine. This was a dangerous man. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Naberius. Auldlich. About time, I was wondering where you two were at. How goes the war effort General?</span> </b>" This king spoke, Naberius sighed deeply then was quiet for a few moments, " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">It's in a stalemate, your grace. We have been able to push your sister's army back to their borders but from there its been nothing but a back and forth. In other words, a stalemate.</span></b> " Naberius explained in which the king growled and swung a arm to the side, knocking over the small blocks and figures off the table. "<b> <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>DAMN THAT WHORE!</i></span></b> " He roared then slammed a fist on the table, his eyes intensified. " She betrays me and then takes ME to war! After all we've done for each other! " The king yelled before a long silence fell over the room. The king sighed and stood straight up looking at the ceiling. He shook his head and looked back down at the two. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> <b>Where's Vulm at? We need him here as well. Orcus and Choax too.</b> </span>" The King spoke. <br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Vulm is currently in the process of making a new potent flame mechanism. He will be here shortly. Although for Orcus and Choax. I got a report that the two have been spotted in your sister's company. They've turned to her side my liege. </span></b>" Silence lingered afterwards, the King hung his head silently like he was thinking. He then threw his head back up and pushed himself off the table. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I lost my head necromancer and Ratkin alchemist...</span></b> " The king stated softly. "<b> <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">All to my own sister.</span> </b>" The king stated as he sighed deeply. This entire scene was depressing to watch. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I loved my sister at one point. I wished for us to have children. Now I want her dead more than anything. I don't even care about ruling my kingdom. In the end. All that matters is that she dies.</span></b> " The king stated, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">And now two of my advisors left to go to her side.</span></b> " He then shook his head, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I am Ryke Bulvark! I will have her head! And those of the traitors!</span></b> " He vowed before looking to Auldlich. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Have you been able to find anything from when we last discussed our theories?</span></b> " Ryke would ask the priest. Iberis would see that she moved around the large war table and to the king. "<b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> Yes, My Lord. I did so with Choax' help before she ended up turning. She dabbled in dark arts as well and we were able to uncover a book. One she ended up finding. </span></b>" Auldlich then reached into his robe and pulled out a very familiar book out. It was the one that Renee had. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">The <i>Codexius Choaxirs</i> it is called. Or translated into Codex of Death.</span></b> " Auldlich handed the book to Ryke. Iberis would see the book still looked the same. <br>
<br>
The cover of it was made of skin with stitching all over the place. Like it was grafted together. But it still felt alive in Iberis' hands. It was a very creepy feeling. Is this what Renee felt when she held it? She never mentioned it before. Ryke took the book into his hands and opened it, looking at the pages. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">What is this language, Auldlich?</span></b> " Ryke asked. The priest let out a sigh, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I am still not sure, your liege. I haven't been able to figure it out just yet. Although I am close to deciphering the language itself. </span></b>" Ryke's eyes looked up at the priest for a few moments before he slowly closed it and handed it back. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Continue deciphering it, old friend. We may be able to use its texts to figure out a solution to winning this war.</span></b> " Ryke commanded before Auldlich bowed deeply. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Yes, your grace. I will do so once I am back at my cathedral.</span></b> " Auldlich and Nerbius would bow before leaving the war room. Once out they began to walk down the hallway. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">He suspects nothing.</span></b> " Naberius stated which made Auldlich laugh, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">No he has not. Orcus and Choax will do their best to get close to Rosan Bulvark. We can use this book to finally unite them and finish this war as soon as possible, General. Vulm is currently using the Stakes of Flame to come up with a teleportation spell. Hopefully then we can finally bring this war to a close. I just hope we can do it rather soon. Who knows what the rioters will do next.</span></b> " Auldlich sighed. Naberius nodded, "<span style="color: #fac51c"><b> Agreed. We can do our best to push them back. While we are strong in power, they have numbers. An unstable kingdom can be overthrown by the civilians that have had enough of such foolery.</b></span> " Naberius mentioned. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Get it done, Auldlich. We don't have much time left. </span></b>" The two continued walking until they diverged paths, the memory would end there for Iberis, it was such a strange vision but one of Auldlich and Naberius before they turned into undead. They also mentioned Vulm and two others that Iberis had no clue about. This seemed like it was before they became the Blue Viscera Occultists. Iberis would reach the front of Inquiry's Fall seeing the scene before her.<br>
<br>
" <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Do you really think your little group is safe from me because of your little protection ward, young apprentice? </span></i></b>" The voice of Renee's master rang through to everyone, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You are dead wrong. </span></i></b>" A shadow moved pass each of the group members with the rune that Renee had instilled onto everyone to protect them from the unknown horrors of this world appearing around each person once more, a ring with strange symbols slowly moved around each of them before they each then broke like glass and dissipated into nothingness. With each of their protective wards breaking and disappearing. They were now free game for the boogeymen here, the ones Dahak had spoken of previously that Renee told her about, to avoid. To give everyone a charm or a ward to disguise them from the things here. Now with Dahak gone, the group torn down, the Blue Viscera Occult's appearance, the protective wards shattered. It could only get worse from here.<br>
<br>
The world around Inquiry's Fall began to morph and change, the land twisted and change dimensions, like it was being folded similar to paper. Although the land instead stuck up straight in the air with the walls closing in, the land seemed to have morphed into a twisted dimension of untold creatures loomed over what was Inquiry's Fall. A feeling of enmity and dread would strike the group in their hearts. This was the beginning of the end. This world was far from dead. They were hidden. Sleeping. Waiting. It was time for their feast. Their time to reign and come forth. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><i>This is what lies beneath the illusion of ignorance. True horror. A realm of Essence Eaters. An unstoppable and endless horde that cannot be satiated. No negotiating. I have given you each a chance to come to your senses. You've allowed this charlatan, the wannabe witch, to doom you all. </i></span></b>" The voice then began to laugh evilly before fading away, being replaced by the sickening and drowning noises of the creatures in this realm, the endless growling, moaning, yelling, screaming, cries.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1676270480761-png.1065185/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1002/1002315-b154f1d7285cbfbb0786dea364834fc9.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1676270480761.png" title="1676270480761.png" width="100" height="139" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Renee would feel the earth quake beneath her and do her best to arise. Looking up at the skies to see the horrors that was this world not being aware of the living here. They had awoken an unknown horror here. Her master was the ruler of this realm. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">No... What is this place... The Codexius... The Codexius has the answers.</span></b> " Renee spoke trying to get up, she had used the Codexius too much and it was now beginning to affect her. Iberis would come up on Renee laying on the ground trying to get up, her eyes solely focused on the open Codexius in front of her, she was trying to reach it but wasn't able to. Iberis would grab it or go on ahead and help the others with the massive beast and this small, cloaked child.</div>

Kalina snapped back to reality from the taste of blood on her tongue. Something else had snapped alongside it. There was a slightly familiar taste, yet it tasted more powerful.. yet also... concerning? She wasn't sure how blood could taste concerning. Still, there was an overwhelming taste of magic that made the starving vampire bite down hard enough to almost bite off a finger in an instinctive attempt to desperately consume more and more of this blood. Her mind, dulled by almost dying and having passed out, couldn't really discern much other than the taste of life entering her mouth and flooding into her blood vessels. <br>
<br>
Finally, some of the pain started leaving her body. Was her regeneration kicking in again? She wasn't quite sure, as her senses still felt dulled. Had she passed out? Probably. She had issues recollecting the latest events. When her hearing got working a bit better again, she heard a familiar voice speaking an unfamiliar language. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Renee, you're alright.”</b></span> She said, her voice still weak. She was reminded of their first meeting. She'd been starving herself, unable to find a good blood source and throwing constantly up due to trying to rely on animals. It'd been Renee offering up her blood that had gotten her going then. It was just like that time. Her dear sister, saving her when she was in need. Why had she ever been concerned about meeting her? How silly of her. Of course her sister would save her. That's what they were sister for!<br>
<br>
Through her pain, a slight smile formed on her face. Yes, things would be alright. She'd heal, thanks to Renee, then they'd be able to talk some things through... what did she even want to talk through again? Probably nothing too concerning. She didn't want to think about it. Everything was alright. Yes, their relation was as strong as it'd ever been. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Sorry you had to feed me again, but it was as delicious as I remembered, if not even better~”</b></span> She said, managing to speak up again and trying to... to what? She wasn't even sure what she was trying at this rate.<br>
<br>
She noticed she was still missing a hand. How annoying. Ah well, it'd grow back soon. After all, she'd gotten her precious sister's  blood to flow through her veins again. Reunited, back where they started. What a wonderful day! This was perfect~ She didn't need to think about what Renee was reading. She didn't need to think about where they were. She didn't need to think about why her sister looked like she wasn't doing well. She didn't need to worry about having been considered a failure. None of that was of any concern whatsoever. All of it was fine. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“Go kill that beast? Huh?”</b></span> She said, then looked at Chaox. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Oh, the guy from Dahak's dungeon. He's an enemy now? That's a shame, I sort-off like him. Ah well, I'll do it~ After all, who would refuse a request from their precious and beloved sister?”</b></span> She gave a broad smile, her eyes revealing sincere happiness with an undertone of... well... madness. <br>
<br>
She then headed up to Dahak. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hello again big guy~ I'd like to say it's great to meet you a gain, but I'm afraid my sister wants you dead. Ah, don't worry, I'll take good care of that kid of yours if it becomes orphaned~ They're rather cute, after all.”</b></span> She'd use her stump to wave at the Skullbearer. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Oh right, I'm still missing a hand. You'd not happen to have a spare one around, do you? Just kidding~ My sister's blood will have it grown back in no-time. Isn't she perfect?”</b></span><br>
<br>
That's when she realised. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Oh, why don't you just surrender! I've made the most lovely magical friends and have the best sister ever, but I've got room for another friend~ She wanted you dead, but I'm sure that if you ally with us instead, she'll spare you. She's merciful like that~”</b></span> Yes, that would be the better option. Friends were great. Not as great as sisters, but still great.<br>
<br>
Soon, the ward she'd been gifted was broken by Renee's master. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hey, that was my sister's. I'll make you pay for that.”</b></span> She threatened to nothing in particular. The world around them was soon changing and shifting in ways she didn't quite understand. What she did understand, however, was that they were likely in a rush to get this creature killed by now.  <br>
<br>
It's why she'd try to vanish in the shadow, hoping to make her way behind Chaox to attack him with a strong [Sneak Attack] aimed at that weird lump on his back, whatever that was. Had she offered him to be friends? Eh. He'd probably just reject it anyway. It was best to just listen to her sister and kill the thing. After all, her precious sister knew best.<br>

<br>
As Iberis moved along she saw the memory  unfold before her. It was disorientating at first particularly since it was as if she was speaking words in the memory with a voice that was not her own  and took Iberis some time to understand exactly was going on. The names however were very familar to her, and that's when she realized it was Auldlich's memory for certain when she heard Naberius  say his name that name she had heard earlier. Regardless the scene that was created for her was striking with the castle and the pair walking and talking together about some sort of conflict. Iberis was quite interested in the history they were speaking of as she could only assume that's what it was using the context clues that these guys had probably been undead for quite some time. Of course she wasn't entirely sure just how accurate the memory was but she was getting some details which seemed important out of it.  The dark and lifeless eyes she saw were a tad unsettling to her even if she knew that she wasn't actually there it still felt like it.<br>
<br>
She tried to study the map once they entered, with the vision that she got but due to the details of the vision memory not being as refined as they could have been how much she could make out was probably dubious at best. What was even more unsettling was the pure murderous intent that she sensed immediately coming from the king with how much hatred she could feel just by looking at him. What had this man gone through? Who had wronged him? Iberis only had even more questions about this fellow than she had answers. When he started yelling about his sister and slammed the table  Iberis would have flinched if she was actually there, feeling like she had even though she hadn't in the memory. Indeed from what she could see this guy really did love his sister, perhaps part of him did even with the amount of malice she had sensed, but it was clear he had gone beyond that enough that he was willing to kill his sister to seize the power for himself.  Part of Iberis felt bad for certain hearing him speak like that, but the other part felt a greater sense of realism that this was just how the world worked. It was kill or be killed, take the power or let someone else take it, it was only becoming more apparent to her as time went on. This story of betrayal feeling a bit too real to her.<br>
<br>
Iberis's eyes would have lit up however when the conversation turned back to Auldich, and she saw the very book that Renee had seeming been gatekeeping and not sharing a ton of information about with her it felt like. It was the <b><i>Codexius Choaxirs!</i></b> Deciphering the language? Was this how this group of men had defied death? Had Auldlich's work ensured that they could come back in the very forms that Iberis and her party had been witnessing and fighting against? These forms were so powerful!<br>
<br>
What felt strange was when Auldlich held the book in the memory it was as if she could feel the book herself in her hands, skin that felt alive yet grafted..and this was some of the power that had been bestowed upon her  the rest of the scene unfolded and she heard about what they were plotting. There were still so many questions and names which she was not familiar with.  and before she knew it she was back with the others as if she had been guided during the vision. What she heard was rather disturbing.<br>
<br>
She heard Renee's master yet again, and she saw the shadows coming, the wards were failing and everything was going to hell in a hand basket real quick. Renee had fallen, not dead but weakened, meanwhile Kalina was still in horrible shape. She knew that out of those who remained in their party with some of the most powerful there in such poor condition. However part of Iberis felt more at ease, despite these dire circumstances she wasn't alone, she had someone who was extremely familar it sounded like with this world who now had a potential incentive to keep her alive..at least she hoped. Truthfully she wasn't entirely sure what apprenticing for Auldich discretely looked like as so far it had entailed making her feel extremely ill and violated, then seeing strange memories, hopefully the benefits would come soon.<br>
<br>
Suddenly the world around them started to show amany horrors. Iberis knew that if she didn't act there was a chance that all of them could be killed. Who would have known that such a powerful being was here? Seeing Renee downed almost made her think about what would have happened had she decided to work with REnee's master instead, particularly if Renee really was holding her back. She was feeling her heart start to beat more as more of the world became increasingly twisted and dark, she was breaking into a cold sweat, gripping her staff looking all around them.<br>
<br>
In response Iberis stopped and quickly casted <b>Energy Shield E </b> on herself,  moving her staff around in a rectangular motion as  red arcane energy built causing the floating red shield of energy to move around her person rapidly ready to defend her from any incoming attacks if it was needed.<br>
<br>
As Iberis got closer and saw Renee and Kalina's interactions while they were both in really bad shape suddenly Kalina was somehow managing to attack Chaox who seemed like had been causing  a many problems for the group from what Iberis could gather. Meanwhile Scylla and Hope were limited in what they could do at the moment too it seemed with Scylla providing limited aid to Renee. Now wasn't the time for her to call out to anyone or do anything than spring into action herself. She saw the Codexius Choaxirs laying there and Renee reaching out for it who was clearly too weak to use it, so she moved as fast as she could to snatch it up, hearing Renee.<br>
<br>
"You're too weak right now. Let me take the burden." She spoke with more confidence than she actually felt towards Renee regardless of what she might have had to say.<br>
<br>
She then thought to herself<i> Master please, I know that you are one of the most knowledgeable beings here about the Codexius Choaxirs you cracked the language didn't you? .please help me, to get us all  out of here alive...</i>She tried mentally speaking to Auldlich uncertain how receptive he would be to it given their relationship but she had to try as she wasn't sure what else to do, she gripped the book and probably felt that uncomfortable feeling take hold over her from the living skin as she looked at the contents of the book, trying to mentally prepare herself for what was going to happen to her after her attempted commune with the undead Zealot and her attempted use of the book.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Energy Shield </b>-Magic Affinity E, Magic Targeting F, Arcane Affinity F, Energized E, Focus E-Creates a floating 14″ x 16″ shield of energy in front of the target that moves around rapidly to absorb magic or physical damage. Blocks most low grade attacks for one round. - Grade E - 0 Post Cooldown (Energized)</div>

Hope paced nervously as Renee worked her magic on Kalina. She wasn't sure if she could watch. How could anyone come back from something like this? Monster or not, surely, losing all that blood would kill anything, wouldn't it? With the dreadful thought hanging in her mind, she paused and glanced at Kalina's slow but now conscious form. A wave of relief crashed over her. Thank God she was wrong. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Kalina!"</span> </b>Hope cheered, her eyes forming into large arcs, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"You're..."</span> </b>The words died on her tongue, a torrent of chaotic shapes and colors flooding her vision. Greenish reds, pinkish blues, yellowish purples, colors she didn't even know existed. Hope felt her head swim as it tried to decipher whatever <i>madness</i> this was supposed to be. It didn't make any sense. She wanted to say Kalina was okay. But it was all wrong. <i>Something</i> had changed.<br>
<br>
Through strained eyes, Hope tried to reach a comforting hand to Kalina, but then the voice returned. This time, it hadn't come with insults and condescending monologues, reality contorting and reforming as the magical ward broke under her. Hope felt her hands ball into fists. This was getting <i>grating</i>. What was the point of constantly interfering when nothing was going its way? Renee or Scylla would just save them with a spell, anyway! This was <i>all</i> just a huge waste of time!<br>
<br>
But the indignance on her face twisted in concern as soon as she turned to face Renee. She wasn't casting any spells. She was too focused on that <i>book</i>. Something had changed there, too. <br>
<br>
Trying to keep her growing panic at bay, Hope looked around the room, only to finally acknowledge the two monsters further upstairs. Her eyes wobbled at the sight of the empty-looking child. She tried not to think about how it had ended up here. That <i>feeling</i> would come again. She couldn't let it define her. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b><i>"Just. Stay. Calm," </i></b></span>Hope repeated to herself as she held a hand, channeling her magic into <b>[Detainment - D] </b>and sending forth a flurry of restraining globs toward the two monsters. Chanting another spell, she held up another hand, willing her shadow magic into a dark, harmful wave, sending <b>[A Touch of Bedlam - E] </b>crashing towards Chaox alone. <br>

With Iberis' entrance after experiencing the strange memory, she saw the book, the Codex of Death laying at her feet. She would feel a strange feel that it was calling to her, on her own accord, Iberis would pick up the book. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> NO!</span></b> " Renee roared trying to get up, her eyes glowing red with hatred as she reached towards Iberis, unable to do anything. Even casting her own magics she couldn't. <i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><b>You will learn everyone once you pick up the Grafted Book.</b></span></i> Iberis would hear echo in her head, <i><b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You have a part of me like I have a part of you.</span></b></i> Auldlich would say ominously. As Iberis took the books into her hand, she would feel like the world was merging with another. Her vision changed until the entire world changed and she would find herself elsewhere, she was within some sort of underground tomb it looked like, standing with the grafted book in her hands. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1676955655422-png.1067008/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1004/1004138-6543a0411471358fbe7d5a10660bc76c.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1676955655422.png" title="1676955655422.png" width="184" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Looking down she would see she was wearing priest robes and having older skin. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Hey, Auldlich. Hurry it up.</span></b> " A growl would come from in front of her, when she looked up she saw Naberius standing there wearing dark clothes as opposed to his golden armor. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Oh yes, right away.</span></b> " Iberis would speak walking after Naberius as they walked through what looked like catacombs. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Don't be going senile on me just yet, priest.</span></b> " Naberius scoffed, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Is that affection I hear, general?</span></b> " Auldlich asked with a laugh which got a small chuckle out of the general. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">You're just imagining things, priest. Don't make it weird. </span></b>" The two would continue walking through this massive chasm until they reached a massive statue of a skeleton holding a sword. On the statue there was a recently made plaque that stated <i>King Gustet Bulvark</i>. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Ah yes. King Gustet. A nasty man he was, barely a king. Had his own son tortured for a year because he got into bed with his own sister then shipped her off as a peace treaty with an even nastier baron. </span></b>" Auldlich stated with a tone of disgust. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">A plot you've seeped your nasty old hands into? I still don't know how you managed to stage a coup against the king.</span></b> " Naberius sighed, "<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> But good on you. We may be able to reunite Ryke into a unified country once again. Hopefully live in peace or even prosper our territory outward. </span></b>" Naberius stated. Auldlich chuckled as the two passed by the massive grave, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Maybe once this is all over, I'll tell you General. In the meantime, keep thinking.</span></b> " The priest joked. The two continued their way through the catacombs until they reached a brazier that was lit with flame with four figures around it. <br>
<br>
Naberius and Auldlich grew closer to the flames and would see the other four. A female Ratkin holding a potion of sorts, a serious looking big man with a angry looking expression was holding a massive unlit torch next to him with his mouth sewn shut, a hooded necromancer with glowing blue eyes and a skull tattooed over his face, and finally a witch that looked like Renee- RENEE!? " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Ah, hello there. You must be General Naberius and Auldlich.</span></b> " The witch smiled kindly, she wore the same outfit even. Renee did say she stole her current outfit from her master after killing her. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I am Marizopa. Or Mari for short. Your fellow Council members, Chaox and Orcus told me your little plan. Poor Vulm here can't talk but he certainly likes to look. </span></b>" Mari stared at Vulm and gave a wink in which Vulm said nothing as he couldn't and looked over at Naberius who shook his head. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Enough of the chitchat. How are things with Rosan?</span></b> " Naberius asked with a sigh. Choax smirked, " <span style="color: #475577"><b>Ah yes-yes, everything is well-good. Miss Rosan suspects-feels nothing. Although she is quite the crazy-insane human. She did take-cut a man's pleasure parts off and fed them to him on the execution-kill gallows. Talking of demons.</b></span> " This ratkin explained which made everyone silent. Naberius sighed deeply, " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">These two siblings deserve each other... Alright, Orcus, any news? </span></b>" The general asked hoping for more news. The necromancer smirked, " <b><span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">Yes actually. I was able to look into options with resurrecting the dead in the south of Ryke. There is a huge cemetery near the small town of Kananto. We could create a small army there and have them roam up north. That will cause both Ryke and Rosan to unite and fight these undead. Stop their fighting and have civilians stop their rioting. The plan is ready to go. </span></b>" Orcus stated with an unsettling smile. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">We can stop a war and unite the country. Good job, Orcus. </span></b>" Naberius said with a breath of relief. His mood had gotten better and lighter. " Mari. What have you discovered? " Naberius asked the witch. <br>
<br>
The witch smiled deviously. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I had communed with entities not of this world and discovered another realm. I ended up finding information on that grafted book you hold, Auldlich(IBERIS)- </span></b>" Mari's face warped for a moment into a ghastly wide smile that ripped her skin, and her eyes widen that they became bloodshot before it returned to normal, this looked like it was a message to Iberis and not what really happened in the memory. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">That is a book from that realm. The Codex of Death or the Codexius Chaoxirs. Strangely named after you, Ratkin.</span></b> " Mari looked to Choax who smiled widely. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">We can use the book to also bring your king and queen together. Manipulate their minds. I don't know the extent of this book's powers or even its language, but I can try to decipher it if allowed to. </span></b>" Mari looked to Auldlich who looked to Naberius who hesitated then nodded. Auldlich walked over to Mari and gently handed the book over as Mari took it, although as the two held the book, the memory froze with Iberis staring at Mari. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">(Iberis. This book is mine. Not yours. You think you can handle the truth? You decided betray Renee and go with that old corpse, Auldlich? And not with me who has become a God?)</span> Mari's eyes moved from the book to Iberis' as if she was staring at her through the memory.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> (It was because of me this raggedy group became what they are today. I gave them immortality. As they gave me the right to rule over a realm of unknown entities.) </span>The memory would continue as Mari took the grafted book and began to flip through its old pages, her eyes lighting up with glee. Similar to Renee whenever she discovered any sort of new knowledge. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Vulm. How is the new weapon coming along?</span></b> " Naberius asked. Vulm held the massive mace out over the fire in which it would catch flame, raging with orange flames as Vulm held it in his hands, he even placed a hand up into the flames and pulled out a small piece, his hand unharmed. Vulm then slammed the other end of the mace on the ground, and it completely went out. " <span style="color: #fac51c"><b>Nice, that will be useful against the fight with the upcoming undead. Looks like our plan is a go, people. Orcus, Choax and Mari go ahead and head back to Rosan. Keep an eye on her. How long should it take to decipher the book, witch? </b></span>" Naberius asked Mari, the witch was constantly flipping through pages with widen eyes as she examined each page with ease while whispering to herself. "<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> Witch?</span></b> " Naberius called louder in which Mari looked up with a look of bloodlust in her eyes. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">A couple days. </span></b>" Mari stated rudely. <br>
<br>
The room went quiet as they looked from Naberius to Mari. Naberius narrowed his eyes, " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Hey. It's because of my say so that you even here in the first place. Shut your mouth and speak when spoken to. </span></b>" Naberius pointed a finger at her with the same bloodlust in his eyes. Mari stared at him for a few moments. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Understood? </span></b>" Mari took a deep breath before exhaling, "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Yes. Understood. </span></b>" Naberius let his hand fall before turning around, "<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> Let's go, Auldlich.</span></b> " As the two were walking away, Mari would speak, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Hold on. Auldlich. Chaox. Come here. </span></b>" Mari stated looking at the book. When the two came to her side and looked at the book, they would see strange symbols and words that they would begin to understand but strangely not know. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Auldlich, touch here. Choax, pour that potion we've been brewing up on the pages.</span></b> " Mari told her as Mari also placed her hand on the page of the book. Choax did as told and poured the potion when Auldlich and Mari touched the book. The liquid was black and seeped into the pages like water to a sponge. Auldlich and Mari both would watch the words morph and change before their visions darkened but only seeing the book and its words. The book quickly flipped rapidly before it closed and moved towards their visions before it disappeared into their faces. Auldlich would experience a hell like no other, he witnessed a dead realm, seeped and covered with dead. Unexplainable horrors rose from the depths, all of them reaching into the grey skies where an eclipsed moon floated with the book open. Auldlich would fall backwards laughing, his eyes wide with knowledge. He would learn this language and got up quickly, seeing Choax on the floor as well. Mari still standing there with the book, her eyes widen and bloodshot, tears of blood flowing down her cheeks. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> I know the language. </span></b>" She whispered, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I know the secrets. </span></b>" <br>
<br>
Naberius stared at her with a suspicious look. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Good. Give the book back to Auldlich. We can start tomorrow. </span></b>" Mari's smile quickly disappeared as she looked at Naberius who only stared her down. Mari then smirked, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Of course... Yes. Of course. </span></b>" She turned to the priest and handed him the book back; her eyes were crazy looking. Although as Mari spoke, Iberis would blink and find herself staring down Renee back in real time, Renee had gotten up looking Iberis down, " Give the book back! " She looked exhausted and tired. Iberis would be standing there with the book open, when she looked at the pages, she would understand it. Everything. The book was practically pouring with knowledge. Looking at it, Iberis would see that the book was talking to her, <i>She means to betray you. Kill her. </i>"<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Iberis, give me the damn book. You don't know what it is capable of!</span></b> " The witch yelled. Although Iberis would begin to know about this realm they were in, it was nameless except for one. The Realm where the Dead go. Iberis would feel like she could break down the world around them. When she turned around, she would see the horrors of this world getting closer and closer but there was Naberius and Auldlich fending them off. The real them, the undead they have turned into.<br>
<br>
Naberius using his axe to chop and slaughter these strange beings while golden streaks flowed around the desert, in and out of ground, stabbing and slicing into these entities like butter. Auldlich was using shadow magic that disintegrated the entities into nothingness while grafted corpses were replacing them and taking the fight to this realm. <br>

Choax chuckled seeing Kalina walking up towards her as the world around them was beginning to devour itself. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><i>The little vampire, good to see you again. And so soon. You haven't changed a bit. You've only shown your true face.</i></span></b> " The massive rident cackled. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">I can't die. I would be letting the mission fail, our plan in the making cannot fail you see. " </span></i></b><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Choax slammed the bottom of her shovel down which caused the massive eye to turn and look all around Choax.</span> " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">I know how you fight, vampire. I've witnessed it during your fight with Dahak. Poor poor Dahak. You like to sneak up on your opponent and attack. Like the little creeper you are, vampire. </span></i></b>" Choax chuckled. As Kalina tried to move around Choax the eye would stare immediately in Kalina's direction, making her sneak fail. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">I have found you.</span></i></b> " Choax stated as the Skullbearer came straight for Kalina from her side, swinging the shovel at the vampire, Kalina would instinctually block the attack, although Kalina would see into the Skullbearer's eyes and see how empty and dead they were. "<b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> You rely too much on your one little trick. It had failed twice against Auldlich which caused you to lose a hand and breast, did you expect it to work on me too? Become more creative next time, little vampire.</span></i></b> " Choax taunted. Although as Kalina fought against the Skullbearer, she was distracted with their little fight to see Hope nearby. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1676961746138-png.1067026/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1004/1004156-e8e7b2e90d205fc7b5e14f652945e963.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1676961746138.png" title="1676961746138.png" width="100" height="143" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Choax would turn her head too late and see Hope had casted a binding spell on both the large, cloaked rodent and the Skullbearer. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">No! </span></i></b>" Choax hissed as Hope's orbs bound the two of them, Choax' smile turned into a snarl. The skullbearer fell to one knee while being trapped in the detainment. Choax' arms became useless in which it tried to break out of it. Although Hope's next attack came up with her Touch of Bedlam being directed to Choax. The massive rodent took the brunt of the attack and fell backwards onto the stairs, she roared in pain as the chaotic magic would be seen having affect on her. Chaox cackled through the pain, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">The Shadow Fae has some strength to her after all. </span></i></b>" The cloaked rodent taunted, looking down at Hope. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">That all -agh- you can do, little shadow fae?</span></i></b> " Choax laughed at her despite being in pain and still detained.</div>

<br>
Kalina was frustrated. Not changed a bit? She'd been on a journey of self-discovery to those blasted Marshes. She'd been making friends. She'd been trying confront what she was, rather than to ignore it or run away from it. She'd been trying to talk about it with Renee. Surely, she'd changed, thanks to that, right? This blasted thing just wanted to throw her off her game. It wouldn't work. It wouldn't. <br>
<br>
She didn't mind being called a creeper. If that's what she had to be to help her precious sister, she'd be one. No problem. She clicked her tongue when she was forced on the defensive by the Skullbearer. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“=Out of the way filth, my business is not with you.=”</b></span> She almost hissed at the Skullbearer, speaking in the [monster] tongue. A language she'd been weary not to use this far, having always tried to deny those aspects of her being.<br>
<br>
Besides, her regeneration was working. It'd taken long enough, but her hand was growing back. Losing a limb or two was just some unfortunate weight loss. A waste of energy at worst. It didn't matter, she'd have Renee to resupply her with blood and energy. Her dear sister. <br>
<br>
That's when Hope managed to bind the Skullbearer. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Well done!”</b></span> Kalina called out. A wicked smile adorning her face. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Sorry, little one, but...”</b></span> She halted. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“But...”</b></span> What? Come on. The bloody thing was standing silent in front of her. STAB IT. KILL IT. DESTROY IT. Hope was giving her the perfect opportunity. <br>
<br>
Why the hell was she hesitating to kill it? Its empty and lifeless eyes weren't even vaguely humanoid, so why, why did it make her feel shaken? Was this... was this the type of lifeless future she was going to go by? Was that what she was gong to become if she'd keep letting the madness get to her? Yet... her sister...<br>
<br>
Kalina's hand shook. The rapier trembled. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“What do I do?”</b></span> She mumbled, to nobody in particular. No. She took a deep breath, rushing past the Skullbearer and heading over to Chaox instead. She'd keep her rapier at the creature's throat. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“What's your game? What do you want here?”</b></span> Part of her told her to <i>Kill it, kill it now</i>, like her sister told her to. <br>
<br>
Yet, some part of her, also genuinely wanted to know why a creature she once perceived as some sort of an ally had to die. Part of her didn't want to kill something needlessly. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hope, what do I do?!?”</b></span> She heard herself call out that name in shock. Not Renee. Her first instinct was to call out for Hope? Why that creature? Why the shadow Fae? No, she knew why. She knew that if she wanted to escape with her sanity, she needed to hear the words of something much better than her. Something good-hearted enough to help her even after being attacked by her. That something was Hope. Truly, that one lived up to her name.<br>
<br>
Still. It hurt. She desperately wanted to follow Renee's orders. Part of her begged for Hope to call out that she should kill this creature (in which case she'd immediately attempt to do so, using her fighting style). Another part was trying to desperately fight back against the madness that had overwhelmed her mere moments ago. Desperate to find some Hope in this situation. <br>

<br>
The eldritch ratkin explained so much that Scylla seemed to nearly piece a few things together. It was almost as if this Choax had known Renee before, therefore that would mean the other two were also her acquaintances. However, what was mind shattering for the witch Scylla, was not the news, but the flat out lack of insight her master didnt seem to want to entertain. Scylla would suddenly find herself in a very confused state, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“W-wait..” </span>She stuttered as her voice raised in pitch as she seemed to shrink.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..you mean you <i>made</i> this book?! And those two back there are <i>your</i> friends? So that must mean.. but it cant be-“.</span><br>
<br>
It was then that when she’d acknowledge the others, all she would see was the severely wounded Kalina, and Hope before a sudden <i>clank</i> would be heard, she’d deliriously turned around like a drunken doll as her eyes spun in place and a halo of stars and chirpy birds sung above her head, as she loosely raised a lecturing finger, her tongue slightly sticking out.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Scuse’ me that wasn’t very nice-"  </span>before the metaphorical lights went out in Scylla’s conciousness. <br>
<br>
What followed was a series of traumatizing events.<br>
<br>
When Scylla opened her eyes, the first thing she’d notice was the fact that she was suddenly bound by the wrists and feet. The pounding pain echoed throughout her body as a sudden feeling burst into the witche’s mind like a broken levee. Fear was the first, as Scylla’s crimson eyes hoplessly beheld the silhoutte before her. She’d shut her eyes, but there was no escaping the vision. Scylla could feel herself breathing heavily as panic gushed forward like an avalanche. She’d scream with all her might, but nothing emitted from her vocal chords. Her lips as if under some kind of spell would speak the script that was so twistedly repeated. Her mind raced as the fiend brought its rotten claws to her chest ripping into her, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">NO PLEASE!! AAAGH!!”</span> She’d feel the monsters horrible hands ripping through her vitals as the nerves screamed from being ripped from their respective places. After such an unbearable butchering, somehow she was magically still alive, she’d feel the warm blood streaming out of her. Yet just as she began wishing for death, her eyes were ripped out and placed above in such a way as to bear witness to the gore she’d been submitted into. Suddenly, an unbearable pain was felt at the base of her skull, something so otherworldy traumatizing that it seemed to make the vision skip as her nerurology began to glitch.<br>
<br>
A cloak, a shovel and a pat on the head. Then a disturbing laughter.<br>
<br>
—<br>
<br>
<br>
As her conciusness returned, Scylla wasn’t the same, she wasn’t able to speak, she simply stood up and staggered breifly as a broken down and traumatized expression could be seen upon her features. Crying unconsciously as she stood facing the child and its master. Remembering her spells were only a whisper in her mind as the images of the vision had seared into her psyche. The gut wrenching sounds of breaking ribs echoed in her mind, it was almost as if she had woken up into another nightmare. But this one. It seemed, she at least had a choice in. Suddenly, a Scylla of the past seemed to have awakened as Choax voice rung in her mind. <i>I will never join the likes of you! You.. monster! You'll pay dearly for the horrors you've committed! </i><br>
<br>
She'd suddenly turn to look at Iberis and Renee. Something was wrong, could it be that what the fiends and voices had been saying all along be true? Would Renee truly have it in her to betray them all? Hope. Iberis. Kalina. Even her? Suddenly she recollected the void expression in Renee upon seeing her sister in such a destroyed state, not even a blink. The fact that all she cared about was her precious book with which she had been wielding such incredible dominance upon this realm. Now that Iberis possessed the book, Renee had become immensely unstable and even appeared vulnerable in presence of another witch wielding the book. It was beginning to dawn on Scylla that Renee didn't plan to share her power, but to simply keep it to herself. The thought would break her heart, but Renee wasn't denying or explaining much other than destroying these eldritch whom she seemed to have shared a relation to.<br>
<br>
Her feelings had now gone cold, the vision she'd just experienced perhaps had made her grow empty now as she stepped closer to her once most loved coven. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Iberis, against everything in me screaming to reconsider, don't give that book back to Renee."</span> An empty cold expression overcame the witch as she looked into her masters eyes.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Renee. Please tell us the truth. Do you mean to betray us?" </span><span style="color: #efefef">Her voice seemed hurt despite the look in her eyes, just the fact that she even had to ask made her heart hemorrhage. But logic and reason was too much to ignore.</span><br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Suddenly Hope's spell was casted, proving effective then Kalina rising to the occasion had followed up. It seemed she was also under the impression that something was off, she wasn't alone. Things had become much too obvious to ignore.</div>

Hope felt a slight sense of satisfaction course through her as her magic entrapped both monsters. Through her peripherals, she caught sight of Kalina preparing to finish one off and allowed herself a small smile. It wouldn't be long from now, she knew. All it would take was just <i>one</i> more attack. Then there'd be one less obstacle in the way! Then they could <i>finally</i> start thinking of leaving this place! Then, everyone would <i>have </i>to be okay again! It'd be so simple! All Kalina had to do was <i>kill. </i>She was good at doing that. It <i>wouldn't</i> have been a problem, Hope thought. It <i>shouldn't</i> have been a problem. <br>
<br>
So, when she saw Kalina hesitate, calling out for help, Hope stared, flabbergasted. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Me..?"</span> </b>She shook her head,  <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"But you're <i>so </i>close, Kalina! Come on!" </span></b>Hope said, her voice rising with a hint of indignance. It didn't make any sense; why was <i>she</i> being called for help? Renee was good at killing, Iberies, too. So why hadn't she called them instead? The answer seemed so distant she found herself staring at the two entrapped foes. And the sight of it all, the monster writhing in pain and the hollow-eyed child forced to its knees, started to stir something inside her. Hope knew she'd felt it before. It was the same sense of <i>compassion</i> that'd made her useless before. <br>
<br>
Then, it hit her. <i>That's</i> why Kalina called her. Maybe she just needed someone to be there for her. Or maybe she needed someone to extend some sympathy to these monsters? Hope didn't consider the difference. It all meant the same thing, anyway. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Wait! No - Agh, I didn't mean to say that..." </b></span>She sulked forward; her head hung low, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Look, Kalina, I know how you feel. Nothing makes sense. Everything feels <i>wrong. </i>And to be honest, I'm not sure what to do anymore either," </b></span>Hope paused and put a reassuring hand on the woman's shoulder, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"But it's okay. You're not alone. I'm here for you. <i>We're</i> here for you. And whatever happens next, we'll get through it <i>together, okay?" </i></span></b><br>
<br>
Hope took one look at Chaox and sighed. There was some history between her and Kalina, but it still hadn't stopped her from attacking. <i>Maybe</i> there was a reason to stop fighting. Maybe not. There was only one way she could find out. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Kalina, let's give them a second chance," </b></span>She said, facing Chaox and raising her palms, a pool of shadows beginning to form along the floor, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Whatever they do next will show if they r<i>eally</i> care," </b></span>With that, Hope charged the shadows with chaotic magic, forming several large dark tentacles,  gently binding the monster and her skull bearer with <b>[Umbral Grasp - E],</b> <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"And whatever <i>we </i>do next, will be the right thing." </b></span><br>
<br>
Finally, she turned to address Chaox. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"I don't want this. And I'm sure you don't want this, either," </b></span>Hope sighed, trying to keep her face as impartial as possible, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"But if we keep up with this fighting, <i>something</i>'s gonna happen that neither of us is going to like," </b></span>Her eyes constricted as she gestured to the decaying world around them, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Everything's going to hell. So why can't we call it quits? You care about yourself, don't you? And your... kid?" </b></span><br>

<br>
Iberis sort of made out the no from Renee but as soon as she picked up the book and felt that creepy sensation of writhing flesh against her. What did register in her mind however was how unempowered Renee was in that moment. It was all a very disturbing thought that the person who she thought was all powerful was splayed out there like that. Where was all the promise of power coming to this world? Why weren't they getting through it like they had in the past?  Perhaps Iberis had chosen the wrong person to try to follow in her foot steps if this is what Renee had to offer, she had seen the energy and power before her, but where was Renee now? When they needed to get out of this world. Hearing Auldlich's words were unsettling too, The way he said it didn't give her the most confidence, but here was the power she desired.<br>
<br>
Of course it wasn't long before Iberis was back in vision land unable to see what was going on around her  in the real world yet again for an unknown period of time. She wondered why they were walking near the chasm in that moment, but once again she recognized who Naberius was. She found it interesting how when these two spoke they just sounded like relatively normal people. Iberis might have decided to look all around but it seemed that her vision was restricted to what Auldlich had looked at during that time at least, she didn't try to look around it was all sort of automatic from her perspective, perhaps if she tried she could but she was too disorientated at the moment.<br>
<br>
That giant skeleton statue looked rather intimidating to her, and what was that name? It wasn't anything she had seen before personally but it was clear that the priest and Naberius knew who he was when they spoke. Once again very pleasant people they knew from their time was all Iberis could think when she heard the horrible things that King Gustet Gulvark had committed. Why weren't they people she had ever learned about before? Was this even recorded history back in the living world? She had to imagine it was but even with her research she wasn't the most well versed growing up at the orphanage no doubt given her youthful age too. With a king like that perhaps their coup attempt had been a good thing, she thought to herself, unifying Ryke didn't sound like a bad goal in her mind either even if she didn't know all the details it sounded like whatever it was at that moment was in great conflict.<br>
<br>
She noticed the large graves and then the catacombs it was clear that these people were not from any time that she was familar with herself given the styles. She then noticed the source of heat and light that they approached. Iberis was a bit surprised at the group before her to start, some ratkin which she seldom saw in person, someone with a stitched mouth, whoever did that or why who knew and someone with blue eyes that registered more like a construct would have than a person to her and a skull tattoo, but the person that shocked her the most was RENEE??? A million thoughts raced through her mind in that moment as she watched Auldlich's memory. Was that someone related to Renee? Or was it Renee Renee... She listened even more intently to what  this 'Renee' said now. Apparently it wasn't Renee and it was Marizopa..a name that Iberis had never heard before. All of this was so confusing to her... She still wondered why Vulm had been made so he  couldn't speak, as he shook his head, but that was less important right now than what was transpiring as she refocused. Then there was the talk of genital mutilation yet again, why was everyone so disturbed it seemed? Iberis hadn't a clue why these people were involved with so many loopy individuals but nevertheless...<br>
<br>
When Iberis heard the words of raising the dead to make an army her focus immediately went to that as she made great effort to remember anything that was said involving that, it was an area of interest. That plan sounded solid enough, raising a group of undead to cause a cease fire and take advantage, it was all the type of strategic planning she wanted to learn even at her age. Perhaps it was because her last life had felt so unproductive that she subconsciously had the desire to act well beyond her age's typical scope of interests. For all of these figures who she knew were problematic, why did it again sound like their end  goal wasn't an inherently evil one even if their methods were questionable. Iberis knew that raising the dead was controversial and some would say immoral but the power it yielded fascinated her.<br>
<br>
The jumpscare of sorts that Mari said up most definitely caught Iberis off guard as she heard her name? And it looked like she was self aware as she spoke to her, Iberis would have tried to speak back but that wasn't going to work. The <b>Codexius Chaoxirs. </b>There the words were again, while Mari spoke to Choax. What Mari said next when the memory paused made Iberis's blood boil with pure indignation. Who was she make value judgements like that? Who was to say that Iberis had betrayed Renee by taking power that someone bestowed to her so readily? What had Renee done for her that Auldlich hadn't already fulfilled more than in the power department? Of course She had thought she had started to care about Renee like her own family but this narrative and all of this..questioning was driving her into a tizzy of questions..If Mari had wanted her why had she been so cryptic?!<br>
<br>
It only frustrated Iberis more, but she knew that sacrifices had to be made for power and inviting someone like Auldlich in had been more convenient for her in the moment.  Even if his physical form had been weak it was very apparent his magic prowess was incredibly powerful and that they hadn't been fighting him at full strength no doubt earlier, in fact Iberis bet that he alone could have wiped herself, Hope, and Kalina away had he not been so busy raising that massive army they saw earlier..was the rational she put behind it.<br>
<br>
Iberis watched the power struggle between the group that was apparent, the tension like each of them were jockeying for more control in their own way, but then mari did something strange..Iberis could tell she found something out about the book, and with what was unfolding with the potion she was deciding to share it with the others? That was an interesting way to go about things..Iberis thought to herself. But after that everything started to go horribly wrong when Auldlich looked at the book. Iberis could see what he saw and she was not ready for it, what the hell was going on?! What were these horrors. She couldn't even explain what she was seeing but it was so awful that it made her sick to her very core. They all had learned it but at what cost? Iberis could only imagine it was even more powerful to see in person the first time perhaps its impact had been weakened in this memory state, since while it incredibly disturbed her and she could practically feel what Auldlich had at the end of the day it'd be more like experiencing a great nightmare for her  that she'd wake up from when she came too...<br>
----<br>
How much time time had gone by Iberis didn't know, but before she knew it she had been looking at Mari wit hthe confrontation over the book now at her own confrontation with the book looking at Renee. Who told her to give back, and she heard the book tell her yet again. Then she looked over towards Scylla a wide somewhat reckless look in her eyes. She was so caught up in this that she didn't even notice what Hope and Kalina was doing too adsorbed in what was going on as she just looked and listened at Scylla, backing away from Renee still holding the book.<br>
<br>
Iberis nodded at what Scylla. She was getting the cold sweats yet again no doubt from what she saw in the memory vision.<br>
<br>
"Since i've arrived here Renee, I've had all kinds of things..telling me that you're going to kill me that you're going to betray us." She said sounding ever so disturbed in her voice, it taking on a much more serious quiet tone.<br>
<br>
"I've had people tell me that I should kill you, because if i don't you'll kill me and the others first, This book just now...too.."<br>
<br>
"So if you aren't planning to do that,  <b>WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING BRINGING US HERE?!"</b> She exclaimed seething.<br>
<br>
"RIght from the start the only guarantee you had was YOU YOURSELF leaving here alive isn't that right? <b> AM I RIGHT?"</b> She held the book tightly.<br>
<br>
"WHY ELSE Would you have us go up against things as powerful as they are?!" She glared at Renee. "Did you want to use us as disposable pawns. okay if we don't make it better if we do so you can get more use?! Was it  just so you could finish off  Marizopa once and for all and take her book? Take her place?!" Iberis tried to rationalize in her current enraged state.<br>
<br>
"I'm..not letting take it Renee, I'm not letting you kill yourself just to use this book,  I can read the Codexius Choaxirs I'm HOLDING ONTO IT. I'm NOT going to BLINDLY TAKE ORDERS from the person whose ALMOST GOTTEN ALL OF US KILLED..." She continued hot tears in her eyes. Never mind the fact that there were all those opportunities she had to kill Renee that she hadn't taken because she thought she  truly cared about her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Iberis was breathing heavily now, it almost felt like her heart was going to give out from all the stress. Her voice felt strained from her outburst.  Between Renee and Marizopa The only one who hadn't asked her to prove anything was Auldlich and she appreciated that.<br>
<br>
<br>
She kept looking through the book to find a solution, flipping through taking as much in as she could. She really needed something to go off they needed to get out of there or stop the world from being erased, she was desperate now. She was so unwell in more ways than one but she'd rather die trying to save all of them  then let Marizopa or Renee win and wipe them all out. Part of her even wanted to save Renee too, from whatever this was even with all of the evidence, she didn't want her dead.</div>

Walls of untold beings were towering over the castle that was Inquiry's Fall, everything else had been completely devoured thanks to Marizopa breaking the Runes of Protection that Renee had placed on everyone. The witch silently stared at Iberis as she questioned Renee, through her emotions and tears, Renee's face was expressionless as she watched Iberis break down, explaining that she had the ability to read the scriptures from the Codexius Choaxirs. Renee smirked at the mention, " <span style="color: #9365b8"><b>you say you are done blindly following orders, yet you have been doing as that Lich says, Iberis. </b></span>" Renee stated with a cold tone, she then heard Scylla behind her speak, turning her head to look at her apprentice who asked if Renee intended to betray them all. For a few moments she did not speak and only stared at Scylla, despite the sounds of the encroaching doom that was upon them. Like she was thinking of her answer carefully.<br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">No. I don't.</span></b> " Renee stated with a serious expression, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">All I've done has been to make all of us powerful. I care for all of us.</span></b> " Renee continued, " <span style="color: #9365b8"><b>I have not been myself; the book carries a heavy influence when it is this powerful. </b></span>" Renee explained, speaking like a leader using her<b> [Altar] </b>title, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I've been holding back my master this entire time with the book but now that it was ripped out of my possession, IBERIS. </span></b>" Renee turned to look at her student with disappointment, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Marizopa broke through and decimated our runes of protection. Allowing her to bring the endgame of this realm to a start. A process which is impossible to stop now. The only option we have is to escape. Auldlich has played with your mind. You're beginning to look a lot more like him.</span></b> " Renee pointed out at her leg, when Iberis looked she would see that her leg had not been restored but that her leg was grafted on, grafted onto an undead leg. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">He's your new master now, huh? That was the only way you figured out to learn more about the Codex. </span></b>"<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b>Altar: </b>character is the apparent leader of a group of witches as well as the central point for magical ritual. Character will excel in guiding others in the magical or arcane arts. Character has achieved greater ease in acting as a conduit for magical phenomena. More likely to attract trouble of various sorts to self-drawn by the magical power.</li>
</ul><br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I am already aware of the history that happened. I've seen what has transpired. It was thanks to my master that Ryke is where it is at now. She destroyed the potential prosperous kingdom that was destined to be. Betrayed the Blue Viscera Occult in which they had to turn themselves undead to live. If you want to call it that.</span></b> " Renee shook her head at Iberis with clenched fists. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Although my master did not ascend, she had to hide away. Which is where she found me. I had to kill her to have her ascend. And now she rules this land like a God. So, excuse me, Iberis, if I am trying to right my wrongs and the wrongs from the past millennium.</span></b> " Renee glared. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Your new 'master' will have control over you, he's been using you as a catalyst to access the book. You're a puppet to him.</span></b> " In Iberis' head she would hear a faint laughter then Auldlich began speaking, <i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">She lies, Iberis. Renee means to betray you. She is nothing more than a reflection of Marizopa who's ambitions run her life. Do not let your guard down.</span></i> Auldlich spoke in her head.<br>
<br>
As Iberis flipped through the pages of the Codexius, she would begin to experience another vision. She would find herself running as Auldlich with Naberius, the two in their usual attire. Naberius wearing his dark gold armor with blood on it while he was carrying a one-handed axe, Auldlich wore his priestly robes following after the General. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">I think they reached the throne room! What happened! </span></b>" Naberius growled, " The civilians suddenly started attacking, Auldlich! We had contained them all out of the palace walls! " Auldlich then growled, " I saw it! Marizopa opened the book, I witnessed through the pages of the books! She had transpired a plot with two families to lead the attacks on both the King and Queen, " The witch has deceived us, Naberius! " Just then another memory would play in Auldlich's head, witnessing the ploy from the witch who opened the book " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Harmon Evergrant, you will lead the charge on Rosan Bulvark, be sure to trap her in the elven saber, she has control over demons from my last interaction with her aferwards, return it to the Faerie Chapel. Argov Vengron, you will lead the charge on Ryke Bulvark, kill him and trap him in the Fanatical Heirloom, throw him in the Underbelly where the Tomb of Kings lay. They already read the book each so they will have learned it's secrets. Let the civilians lead the charge and take the brunt of resistance from the palace guards and the two tyrants, then swoop in as the heroes and liberators. </span></b>" Mari was smiling staring at the book pages, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Let us begin...</span></b> " She closed the book before winking at the pages like she was staring at Auldlich. <br>
<br>
The vision would cut back to Auldlich where he was running with Naberius again, as the two ran they would come into the Throne Room where Ryke was sitting upon his throne, laughing as he stared at the ceiling, his eyes glowing purple. The bandages still wrapped around his head and face, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>The book had the solutions! </i></span></b>" Ryke roared as he raised a hand into the air, purple energy began to radiate from his hand and spiral around him. He looked up seeing Naberius and Auldlich about to enter the room, Ryke cackled evilly seeing them and pointed his hand at them where he shot strings of purple energy at the two, it would collide with them and shoot them back out of the throne room, the two would witness their king Ryke get overran with civilians holding pathetic weapons, blood splashed into the air with the sounds of crazed laughter while one man held a glowing amulet up into the air which it looked like Ryke had been sucked into. Naberius and Auldlich would feel the sting of the magic Ryke had struck them with. Although as the two tried to get up, they looked at each other and would see what they had become, monstrosities. Naberius melded with his golden armor which grew and overtook his axe and body. But he had grown in size as well, Auldlich too had grown and felt more rejuvenated, although he couldn't feel a thing. <br>
<br>
The two would then hear a voice in their heads, "<b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"> Rosan has been killed. She has transformed us into monsters!</span></b> " Orcus called, " <b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">I don't know how but I can feel you two had become like us.</span></b> " The necromancer spoke like his voice was icy. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">This is true, Rosan was torn into pieces before sucked into a sword.</span></b> " The voice was Choax who then chuckled after her response, but it was more of a nervous laugh, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">She had turned us into these things beforehand. </span></b>" Naberius sighed, " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Alright. Get out of the city, we must meet up and hide away. We are close to creating the completed country of Ryke. We need to also find the witch Marizopa. She had created this entire insurrection. Is Vulm with you?</span></b> " Naberius asked, "<b> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Yes, I am.</span> </b>" His voice was ghastly and nasty, although while he couldn't talk without his tongue, he could talk just fine in their head. His was the creepiest sounding. " <b><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">I am free within my own mind to speak.</span></b> " He spoke like he was death himself. That was the only way to describe it. <br>
<br>
As the vision came to a close, she would feel numb, like her body wasn't feeling right. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You feeling the effects of the book, Iberis?</span></b> " Renee asked her, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You delve into the past without thinking of the consequences of knowledge. Learning these dark arts come with a cost, as you know.</span></b> " Renee's eyes narrowed at her former student while she pointed at her leg that had been grafted this entire time. <i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Eliminate her, Iberis. She intends to play with your head. I gave you power, I will not turn against you. We are trying to stop Marizopa from coming into the Ommatierial where she will become the God of Ruin, Oll.</span></i> (Said like Ole) <i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">We do not have time. She will devour us all and the book then have access to the Ommaterial, our world. Renee is holding us all back. She intends to become like her master if not worse.</span></i><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1677383309868-png.1068270/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1005/1005400-e8e7b2e90d205fc7b5e14f652945e963.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1677383309868.png" title="1677383309868.png" width="100" height="143" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Choax stared at the Shadow Fae that was Hope, while the Skullbearer was trying to escape the binds, they only got worst and now fully kept them both down. The thing that was Choax was smiling at Hope, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">We are trying to end this, young one. You have not seen much of this world and the intentions of others. I see the intention of one in your group. Your leader.</span></b> " Choax pointed at Renee. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">We are trying to end this. Her master is the one that is destroying this world. She has been controlling the book this entire time. We know how to use the book. Look around you, young one. You are the ones not allowing us through. You defend your own traitor. Eliminate the witch, young Shadow Fae. </span></b>" Choax smirked, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">I can offer you an incentive, that is what you modern lifeforms want nowadays, right? </span></b>" Choax then lifted her hand up into the air where a potion formed out of midair, "<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> I can give the Taste of Insight, young one. You'll be able to see and taste the future. Your people can taste the life essence of others, am I right? </span></b>" Choax cackled. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Do not mistake my Skullbearer as my child, it is no more than a puppet for me to control and command.</span></b> "<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You all will perish.</span></i> A voice spoke in the sky before it began laugh maniacally. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">No! Two of us are already dead! We must not fail!</span></b> " Choax roared as her eyes under her cloak glowed for a moment, next to Hope she would see the Skullbearer shake before the shovel it held glowed with an intense purple. It then activated the shovel and Hope's bindings on it broke, although with this it followed up with a swing of its shovel, slamming Kalina in the shoulder with the side of the shovel, the edge sinking into her flesh and touching her bone. The Skullbearer's eyes were no longer dead, but they glowed with a purple haze, it then hopped up and kicked Kalina in her chest, kicking her away. While pulling it's shovel out of her, it then turned once it landed and began running down the stairs to charge at the three witches below, Scylla, Renee and Iberis. Kalina could still catch up, her arm was till usable, but it did hurt. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Child, do not interfere unless you join us in destroying your master. I will reward you with the Taste of Insight either way. </span></b>" Choax stated while still held and wrapped by Hope. <br>
<br>
Behind Choax a couple of bodies hit the ground before they began to form into abnormal and disgusting forms blocking the castle's entrance, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">Free me child. These beings cannot be destroyed easily. You just escape into the castle. I can assure your survival if you listen. </span></b>" Choax smirked and chuckled.</div>

The moment she heard Hope calling out 'Come on!' she drew her rapier back and got ready to forcefully jam it through this rat-undead-thing's head. She could give in to the bloodlust, if even someone like Hope said she could, that was all she'd need to do... Then she heard the next word 'Wait!' being called out. It made her hold back just in time. Hope's words certainly hit the mark. That was exactly how she felt. <br>
<br>
She reacted shocked at the sudden hand on her shoulder, unsure of how to react to the gesture, but giving in quickly enough. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I... thank you.”</b></span> She replied, unsure of what else to say. She didn't believe Hope. If anything, she'd never felt so confused and drifted apart from Renee. Still, she <i>wanted</i> to believe what Hope said desperately enough to heed her words. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Alright.”</b></span> She sighed. Chaox would get that second chance. Hope's words felt like they were exactly what Kalina needed to soothe the turmoil just enough to get back some control.<br>
<br>
However, that's when she heard Renee's words, which felt like they were fingers around her heart that started to ever so slightly increase their grasp on it, slowly yet steadily squeezing it out. Was it true that that book influenced the minds of others..? Did that book change Renee? Was that why they'd not felt like sisters the way they used to? Yes, it had to be. Renee herself said so. Even Iberis, who'd been so kind to her, was now being controlled and looked like she was suffering in order to get access to that blasted book. Then, suddenly, the solution was clear as day. Yet, it was simple. Kalina knew exactly what to do to get her sister back and to get all of them safely out of this awful realm. This would all be over soon...<br>
<br>
She didn't trust Chaox either, the idea that they knew how to control that book was acceptable, the idea that they'd use it for anything less horrifying than what anyone else had planned for it wasn't. Kalina could hear Chaox speak, but she knew Hope would never attack Renee. Even so, the idea was insulting. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Don't speak of harming my sister, or I'll regret not finishing you off.”</b></span> She threatened the rat.<br>
<br>
That's when she got hit by the Skullbearer. So much for showing the thing mercy. It hurt, of course, although it was manageable compared to the earlier pain from getting her hand chopped off and her chest pierced through. With an angry glare, she got up and rushed after the Skullbearer, but not before giving Hope some words. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I know how to end this, just buy us some time.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Considering the Skullbearer was rushing towards the witches, she followed it. However, rather than going after the Skullbearer itself, she had a different goal. Hiding in the shadows, as best as she could, she made her way onto the scene.. then she lunged at Iberis. Or rather, at the book Iberis was holding. She aimed to pierce it with her rapier, using her Precision Strikes Style (D) to get rid of it in one blow. This book that'd gotten her sister to behave so differently. This book that was clearly making Iberis suffer. This book that kept them trapped in this awful realm. She didn't get most of it, but she was convinced of one thing. If she just destroyed this one book, everything would somehow turn out to be alright. The cultist would have no more reason to fight them for it, Renee would be the same again, this realm would break and let them. It'll all be wrapped up neatly if she could just destroy that blasted book that started the whole mess. <br>

Iberis was finally showing some backbone somewhere. She learned long ago that it was necessary but that was when she truly believed that Renee had her best intention in mind and that she cared about her. Where was that now? She couldn't even tell if anything Renee was saying was genuine in the slightest instead she looked her back directly in the eyes, a very disturbed look in her face, some might even say that it was reminiscent to the eyes of the visage that Auldlich had looked her over. And here Renee was trying to gaslight her? What reason did she have any reason to believe anything she said. Renee could play the blame game with her if she wanted, but there were so many signs that Renee had not been telling the truth so far now that Iberis knew what was going on. If her motive had been so noble why had she felt the need to conceal  this from them?   Maybe she had been using the book to hold her master back, maybe she had been biding her time to kill her master and take her place it was anyone's guess to the youth.<br>
<br>
So what if she gave Auldlich a chance, at least he had given her something! She thought to herself looking back at Renee as she smirked before looking back down at the book, Why wasn't the book telling her what she needed to get them out of there?! As far as she could tell that was the case at least. The fact that it took Renee a moment to formulate her words at Scylla's extremely important question wasn't overly reassuring either. There wasn't at any point where Iberis had promised to exclusively gain knowledge from Renee. If she thought she could take her to a realm like this and Iberis wasn't going to try to take the opportunity to gain more power through the means she deemed suitable then that was a mistake.<br>
<br>
The look in Iberis's eyes only grew more intense as Renee spoke accusatorially towards her. At the mention that Auldlich was only using her as a catalyst Iberis  sneered. <br>
<br>
Even if that's true Renee, I'm not convinced that what you've been doing is any more noble, do you think I'm that naive? That I haven't picked up on all the strange things that have been going on?" The side of Iberis which had shown itself when she had gone after those students who had tormented her showed itself briefly. <br>
<br>
"You might call it foolish of me, but I'm uncertain if you know the extent of what I've received in exchange." She spoke back almost sounding eerie.  Was a that a threat? It hadn't been worded that way, but it most definitely suggested that Iberis was not as innocent as she  had appeared outwardly consistently  to the group. Not long before Auldlich had spoken up but once again she went into a time warp of sorts with the book, seeing another vision. <br>
<br>
<br>
The more Iberis learned through the vision with the conversation between Naberius and Auldlich  more she thought that perhaps it was better she hadn't picked Marizopa to follow in that moment. It was feeling more like it really was her fault as Renee mentioned, and that they were stuck there because of Maizopa's actions. Had she not done this just maybe Ryke could have finally been in a place of the glory it was intended to be in and Iberis, Renee, Hope, Kalina, Scylla...all of them would just be back together at the academy at this moment doing some other quest that wasn't causing so much divide, it did hurt Iberis down inside truthfully, while she felt some guilt from what Renee said, she had to double down on the notion that Renee couldn't be trusted at face value anymore.  That would be a mistake at this point, not until they were out of there. Iberis had a strong feeling that if she had been caught up in the  influence of  this world it wasn't implausible that Renee had potentially been.<br>
<br>
Then there was the empathy that Iberis felt towards Naberius and Auldlich to an extent in the memories they had all been betrayed by Marizopa very clearly. She betrayed them to further own position it seemed. What she wasn't expecting was the drama in the throne room  when she was with Naberius from the perspective of AUldlich suddenly an angry mob came in and killed the king who used the purple magic hitting her POV as she saw whatever happened to Auldlich in a  POV and felt sort of what he had felt she thought. Yes this was Marizopa's fault. She could hardly believe the resiliency of these people if anything she wanted to learn how to overcome obstacles like they had when saw their story unfold. She almost felt bad for hitting Vulm when she realized what had happened earlier, but it had to be done in this kill or be killed environment. <br>
 She understood why they had all rallied against Marizopa. She was evil.<br>
<br>
<br>
When she came back too then there was the issue of her leg that Renee had pointed out. Yes it was somewhat disturbing the way it had been fashioned back but that was hardly an issue for what she believed she had received in return.<br>
<br>
At this point Iberis was looking physically unwell, of course she could feel it the writhing that wouldn't leave her alone, she felt like vomiting she had seen many horrible things, and she looked even more sleep deprived than usual at this point.<br>
<br>
<br>
 Of course it was still disturbing. She then heard heard Auldlich tell her to eliminate Renee. Just at the moment that she was on the precipice of giving in, feeling her heart start to race as she gripped her staff, and she stopped reading, surely if killing Renee would save all of them and stop Marizopa....To Auldlich this would probably be a good mental sign that Iberis could in fact be reasoned with to do things even that were very difficult for her to do.<br>
<br>
"Scylla we have to put a stop to this..Marizopa is going to become Oll when she reaches the omimaterial." <br>
<br>
But then suddenly Kalina came out of no where, very fast despite her injuries, Iberis had been so engrossed in this conflict  that it was a surprise.<br>
<br>
She started to pivot involuntary as if she was actually going to block Kalina's strike on the book with her own body but by the time it happened she wasn't fast enough. This desire to preserve the book was probably in part influence by it. <br>
<b><br>
 "KALINA WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"</b> She'd call out her focus broken, as the sword struck the book, she of course wasn't able to hold onto it with the strength behind a blow like that As it left her hands Iberis felt very light headed how much longer could she stand? <br>
<br>
The stress was overwhelming her. She felt incredibly taxed, holding the book was taxing, going through the ritual with Audlich was taxing, and battling Renee was taxing. Who knew what was going to happen now that the book had been struck. She was on the edge of passing out from how energy intenisve this was becoming much like Renee was so drained one could only imagine the feeling of the youth.</div>

 </b>​</div><br>
Thankful for Chaox's sudden cooperation, Hope slightly slackened the tentacles binding the hideous beast. But then it offered her <i>something</i>, and with an annoyed sigh, she immediately reapplied the pressure. She should've seen this coming. All these monsters had some secret power, secret spell, secret this, secret that - all for the low price of betraying her friends. The idea always sounded ridiculous. Who'd want to be powerful if you've no one to share it with? <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"No, I don't think I will, thank you,"</span> </b>Hope replied curtly, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"You're the <i>fourth</i> monster today to try that on me. It's getting boring." </b></span>She rolled her eyes, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Try to be more creative next time. Just a friendly little tip." </b></span><br>
<br>
Then, right after something laughed in the sky, it seemed Chaox did just that. Hope felt her heart race as the skull bearer managed to break free, even more so when it managed to strike Kalina. She tried calming her nerves with a few deep breaths. So what if the little bastard got away? All she needed was one more spell. She could handle this! She just needed to stay calm. <br>
<br>
But before she could concentrate magic into her palms, Hope heard Kalina task her with biding time. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Uh, sure, no problem,"</span> </b>She nodded apprehensively, turning to watch Kalina dart towards the rest of the group, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Just make sure everyone's doing-"</span> </b>She paused, finally witnessing the turmoil unraveling behind her. She didn't know what to make of it. Something went wrong. Why were Renee and Iberis arguing? Why was Iberis clutching onto that book? Why did Scylla look so broken? What happened? She tried desperately to form a conclusion until Chaox started speaking again, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Shut it!</span>" </b>Hope hissed, eyes flicking between her and the group. Everyone was tearing each other apart. <br>
<br>
Something had to be done, Hope knew. But then Chaox started offering again. More promises. More <i>irritating</i> attempts to trick her. Hope's eyes flared. She needed to shut this thing up. It was <i>impossible</i> to stay calm with all this yapping! <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"That's enough!"</span> </b>Hope raised a hand and formed a glob of adhesive [Detainment - E<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">]</span></b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">,</span> shooting it toward Chaox's chattering maw. But as soon as the spell left her palm, Hope heard Iberis yell at Kalina behind her. She couldn't take it anymore. She <i>had </i>to find out what was happening. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Renee? Iberis? Scylla? What's going on?!"</span> </b>Hope called out, turning about-face. Her eyes widened in panic as she caught sight of Kalina preparing to destroy the cursed book. She was too far away. There was nothing she could do. <br>

<br>
Scylla stood there for a moment as Renee seemed to ponder her response. Why did she need to think about it?!? Wasn’t it obvious what the answer was?!?! Hadn’t they been through so much together? All of the compliments, the planning, the plotting.. was it all for nothing? Was it worth reconsidering? Her confusion couldn’t be helped, a fact so obvious as tears silently fell from her eyes and down her scratched face. <i>Have we lost you Renee? Have we really.. lost you?” </i><br>
<br>
Then attention was brought to Iberis who had seemingly made some kind of pact with one of the eldritch by offering her leg in exchange for some kind of power. Scylla blinked, and looked at whom she very well considered a little sister. She seemed visibly distraught, but something about this made her seem, much more mature. It seemed she had found some kind of power, but Scylla couldn’t help but wonder just how much Iberis had sacrificed in exchange for it. However she didn’t seem any different, in fact as the tears rolled down her own eyes she could see how much this seeming betrayal was affecting her.<br>
<br>
She wanted to comfort Iberis, but Scylla was dealing with the seared imprints of the visions she had just experienced moments before, it was immensely difficult to find her 'happy place'. However, she respected Iberis's decision, these weren't light hearted choices. Betraying Renee out of questionable suspicion wasn't exactly something to be taken lightly. Scylla took a few steps back.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I.. must agree with Iberis."</span> She said finally, balling a fist. <span style="color: #9365b8">"As much as I want to agree with you Renee. Iberis has made a choice, power is what we're after.. I just.. it seems she's found her way. What have we ever offered her? Coming here to correct your wrong doings? And.. and.. not ever telling us about any of this? Now I I fear.. it might just be, too late."</span><br>
<br>
However, she noticed Renee wasn't paying much attention to her, she was fixated on that book and all of her attention seemed to be beamed right at her. Her blank expression changed however, upon hearing that this Auldrich was Iberis's new master. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I.. hope thats not true."</span> She stuttered.  <br>
<br>
However, that wasn't important, this world was literally falling apart and they had to make a decision quickly lest they'd all be devoured by whatever void was now taking over this world. Suddenly, Iberis gave some details, however, Scylla was puzzled, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Eh.. Mari-who? Oll.. Ommimat-" </span><span style="color: #efefef">Had she missed some important details? Perhaps this book was really giving her some otherworldly knowledge, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"You mean, we cant take Renee with us?"</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #efefef"><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">Just then the vampire Kalina arrived in a sprint, quickly going for a slash, Scylla suddenly snapped out of the strange aftereffects of the traumatic vision she'd just witnessed and gasped loudly,</span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "IBERIS! Look out!" </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">She said pulling her away from the book she had nearly sacrificed herself for, she'd hold onto her whilst observing the vampire attack the book. </span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Kalina!? Wha- Th- That is literally our only hope out of here!!" </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #efefef">Her eyes betrayed what she was feeling now, a sudden hopeless feeling, but she'd get Hope as caught up on everything as she could in the sheer shock of the moment.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Kalina just attacked the book that could get us out of here!" </span></span></div>

Renee stared at Iberis with cold eyes, they were close to the dead ones that were Auldlich's, like she had no spark of humanity left within her husk of a body. Renee pulled out her Master's Journal, it was her catalyst. As it floated in front of Renee while opening its pages, a dark shadow would appear and surrounded Renee while bright red eyes stared at Iberis. Renee saw Iberis as her enemy while she spoke, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I know what you have received. You've received power and knowledge. That means you no longer have use for me, right, Iberis?</span></b> " Renee asked, her words had not tempered Iberis' suspicions, so violence was the next solution. Eliminate the viper. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You agree with Iberis, but you have no clue what we are both aware of, Scylla. She has given herself to a cult to obtain power then sacrificed her flesh and blood for power. She hasn't found her way. I have taught you two more than that shithole of an academy, I have even taken you two to a realm beyond your imaginations. I will admit, it hasn't been what I originally planned out to be. That doesn't mean jump off the ship at the first instance.</span></b> " Renee's eyes burned into Iberis' while unaware of Kalina making her way down towards the three. <br>
<br>
Hope's voice pulled Renee back to look over at the Shadow Fae, only for Kalina to run by her and straight at Iberis. Renee's head shot back at Kalina as she then struck the book with her sword, steel met the pages of skin which caused a semblance of light to appear and consume this current world they were in, a deep pitch noise would shudder from the pages as it reacted to being attacked. The book cracked with a bright light, as below both everyone, the world itself began to crack with the same light. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">NO! WHAT DID YOU DO!</span></i></b> Marizopa's voice roared, <i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Iberis! You fool! What has happened!</span></i> Iberis would hear Auldlich's voice in her head. Choax behind Hope would begin to laugh manically as she was detained even more, "<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> Now this is most unexpected. Something I did not foresee to happen. </span></b>" The ghoul cackled, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">The little vampire is a Fate Severer.</span></b> " Choax chuckled as her glowing eyes faded away and she laid on the ground before fading away into dust. Choax' Skullbearer had grabbed onto Kalina's shoulder raising its shovel ready to strike her only to, in an instant, de-atomize before her eyes into dust. Naberius and Auldlich that stood out in the field taking on the horrors of this world would immediately become consumed by the impending doom. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Kalina!</span></b> " Renee yelled with widen eyes, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Why! Why did you do that!</span></b> " Renee yelled as she readied a lightning attack, her eyes full of tears, ready to strike her sister down.<br>
<br>
The world only grew more intense as the dust storm pushed the untold horrors back into the fray, the cracks in the ground grew wider and wider until the light consumed them all...<br>

Through whimpers and crying, the old woman began to use magic to try and restore the book, but nothing would work.

It looked like Iberis stared back grimly, like she was ready to strike back full force using whatever Auldlich had given her in that moment, when she saw the changes in Renee. That was the look of someone with killing intent but she wasn't going to let it scare her. She heard Renee's words  her look didn't leave her face. <br>
<br>
"She lies Scylla, all I did was take the opportunity that presented itself to learn. Any one of you would have done the same in a realm like this wouldn't you? Gain knowledge you have no idea if you can obtain elsewhere? It was too good an opportunity to pass up, I had plenty of opportunities to listen to them..and did I attack any of you? No I didn't." She spoke, while keeping her eyes on Renee.<br>
<br>
Renee had chosen this path just as she had her own, just as it looked like things were about to escalate into the fatal territory, thankfully Kalina assaulted the book. After Iberis had yelled out suddenly the whole world around them felt like it was breaking up. Then she heard Auldlich reprimanding her. What she done?! She thought to herself, she hadn't acted fast enough and now they were all going to be erased? It was as if all of this had snapped Iberis back and her murderous intent left her body in that moment as the whole world shifted.<i> A-Auldlich?! </i>She thought to herself after the fact when he had been turned to dust too and the whole world seemed to shift as cracks of light came through. Iberis saw Renee was about to attack Kalina it looked like, she tried to ignite her own staff and looked like she was about to move it in the shape to cast the barrier spell on Kalina until suddenly the whole world turned all bright and she couldn't see a thing just like that.<br>
<br>
----<br>
<br>
She then found herself falling out a portal. Her mind felt much clearer now even if that had been overwhelming. The dead look in her eyes seemed to disappear as if she had a sense of clarity again. Though it was unlikely her leg changed. Had they all just been killed like that? The whole cult? What about Auldlich? What would happen now? So many questions raced through her mind as she laid on the ground, her adrenaline was going strong, compared to the drained state she had been in previously. She looked over at what the old woman was doing, freaking out about the book, trying to restore it, and then there was Kalina lying on the ground with the old woman on top of her, seeming to blame her for what had happened. As upset as Iberis had been it was clear that Kalina destroying the book had saved their lives. As she looked around the labrynith unsure of where they had ended up, but it did feel like they were back in their world at least.<br>
<br>
A realization fell upon Iberis's face as her eyes widened at the moment  she recognized the voice of the women. The one who had promised her immense power if she followed her words and killed Renee.Upon seeing Kalina get struck however Iberis started to see red. <b>"DON'T TOUCH HER." </b>Red arcane energy sparked off of the tip of Iberis's staff as she used it to right herself and she walked over as quickly as possible  to the woman as she tried to knock  her off of Kalina with two hands. before backing off.<br>
<br>
"You've done more than enough harm already. It's unforgivable. You're the reason that Renee took us there to begin with! It's all your fault! you and those you betrayed all those years ago tried leading me astray, I almost turned myself  against Renee because of you! All of this happened because of you and that Evil book! You turned us against each other!"  She proclaimed after the kick, readying her staff, playing the blame game fully on who she recognized as having the same voice as Marizopa <br>
<br>
"Renee, Scylla, Hope, I Know I went far this time I Know I probably messed up back there but please I just thought I could learn, I thought it'd help us,  I didn't know he'd go that far, I can't do this alone, so please  we have to finish this together." She spoke looking a bit teary eyed  sounding very serious, now was the time for them to win decisively if they worked together she knew that they could do it, her resolve very apparent on what they needed to do.<br>
<br>
<b>Actions:</b><br>
1. Get up<br>
2. Walk over and attempt to get woman off of Kalina.<br>
3. Ready to Cast.</div>

<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm freeing you of this cursed book!”</b></span> Kalina yelled back at Iberis, then turned to face Scylla. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“That's a lie! This book is what's keeping us all locked up here!”</b></span> She replied in anger, not at Scylla, but at the book. She'd convinced herself that the book was the root of all evil in this realm. <br>
<br>
The reaction of the book was what Kalina hoped for. Make that blasted thing pay for what it'd done to Renee, to Iberis, to all of them. What Kalina was trying was clearly working. First Chaox faded away, then the Skullbearer faded away before it could strike her. She could see Renee's confusion, which made her feel like she was <s>taking the cursed ring from Frodo</s> still under the influence of the book. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm freeing you of this book's influence, of course! You said so yourself, you haven't been able to be ourself due to the burden that book puts on you! I won't let a bloody book take my sister from me and I won't let it harm my friends! It was already affecting Iberis as well, wasn't it?!?! I'll destroy everything that hurts those I care for!”</b></span><br>
<br>
She didn't care if she was a Fate Severer or whatever Chaox had called her. She just wanted her friends to be free and happy. Was that really so much to ask for? <span style="color: #800000"><b>“If everyone wants to use, abuse and corrupt my sister and friends, then the least I can do is destroy the object they're after!”</b></span> As she said it, the world was growing more intense, horrors being pushed back and a sudden light consuming all of them.<br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
Kalina felt disoriented when she got thrown out of a portal all of a sudden. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Is everyone all...”</b></span> she started to ask, but before she could finish that sentence, she was hit by an elderly witch. The hit in her face got a literal hiss out of Kalina, as she spoke in [monster] next. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“[Not everything, I've yet to completely ruin you.]”</b></span> It came out more naturally than expected, to the point that she scared herself with it.<br>
<br>
She snapped back to her normal self when Iberis tried to knock the woman off of Kalina. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You're Renee's former master, aren't you?”</b></span> She asked the woman. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You're the one that made it impossible for me and Renee to stick together after we first met!”</b></span> It was a small thing in the big picture, albeit a big thing to Kalina. Meanwhile, Iberis was already blaming the woman for the big things that occurred.<br>
<br>
Despite all her emotions, she gave a feint smile upon hearing Iberis' words. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Don't worry, we'll finish this together.”</b></span> As she said it, her hand managed to find the spare rapier she'd been relying on. She wasn't sure why, perhaps it was just the idea that she could finally finish this all up, but her following [Precision Strike C] at the old woman felt like it carried more power than it ever did before.<br>

<br>
Scylla spun her staff as it floated just beyond her reach, “Oh no you dont!” She called out as as Renee activated her catalyst, did she really intend to hurt their youngest witch? Weren’t they all on the same team? Why was she suddenly in a postion where she had to pick between two of the people she’d promise to work alongside with?! Then Renee hesitated and stuttered, her eyes blinking trying not to falter as they looked at her master. “Iberis has.. sacrificed herself?” She repeated, before looking at Iberis as if wondering if such things were true. Even if it was true, Iberis made a choice, at the end of the day they all desired power why had Renee considered it a bad thing? Surely sacrifices had to be made as shortcuts to powerful knowledge. However, what Renee said afterwards stung more than it should, “I’m not jumping ship Renee!” She shreiked, obviously distressed with confusioni, “You’ve just been so shady about everything and i’ve been seeing things that  have literally traumatized me and im totally freaking out! And.. and.. there’s been a voice in my head this whole time telling me to betray you and making some very compelling points as to who you are!” <br>
<br>
Then the world around them changed, the book was struck down, and what appeared to form was some kind of portal. The undead surrounding them had broken free of the eldritch that held them at bay and were now storming their way towards the book. But the world began to unravel at the ends, threads of the existance that the book had managed to sustain fell apart. The magic of the Codex Chaxirs was broken, by none other than Kalina. <br>
<br>
The vampire was spilling her heart out, it was obvious she loved her sister, but Renee, she appeared indifferent. In fact, the vampire only seemed to agitate her with words of hope and friendship. Had Renee simply lost herself that much, to where she had become void of anything other than the endless desire for power? <br>
<br>
Thoughts that ended all too quickly when the portal completely opened, Scylla just sighed and held up a peace sign with her hand, “Ah well.. i dont know where this portal goes.. but if i die.. it was nice knowing you all!” She winked before the portal absorbed her in and came out flying on the other side. “WHOA!!” she yelled as she quickly landed with a crash. Her had over her face, as she got up. “W-where are we now?” she asked as she pulled her hat up back on her head. “I need a cup of tea like really.. really.. b-“ That was when the witch saw a crone fumbling and imploring the gods for the safety of the book. She was absolutely upset, was this the woman in her head? Was this.. Renee’s master? <br>
<br>
She quickly snapped out of it as Iberis apologized, she had been through so much, and she had inspired Scylla. Willing to take on their own master to save everyone when Scylla would never dare! That was worth some merit, although it was still fairly much betrayal. Scylla wasn’t innocent either, but did they have a choice with Renee acting the way she was? Someone had to intervene!<br>
<br>
The crone seemed very powerful, her gaze was piercing and her ways were dark and eerie. Scylla got up, it was useless to pat down her dress, it was absolutely filthy now. “Mhm, you still got me on board with ya, kiddo!” She replied to the teary eyed younger witch. “We have some catching up to do after this though!” If they even made it past this mysterious witch. “Hey you! Who the heck are you?” She called out, but not before Kalina followed up her strike with one of her own. “Whoa! Hey!” Kalina seemed to want to simply get to the bottom of things, which was understandable, considering this old lady just attacked the vampire. However, it was uncertain who this woman was and how powerful she was too. so instead Scylla used [Appraisal] on the crone.</div>

Nothing Hope saw made her feel any better. Everything had gotten worse - <i>so </i>much worse. Renee and Iberis weren't just arguing anymore. The crimson, searing auras billowing from them, prickling her face, meant something else entirely<i>. </i>They wanted to <i>kill</i> each other. And all because of that <i>book</i>. Hope didn't need further convincing, her legs already breaking into a sprint to the fight-to-be. She felt her magic weaken on Chaox as she drew nearer, but she didn't pay it any attention. Screw her, she thought. And screw this world. And screw that stupid book, too. <i>Everyone</i> needed to leave this place alive and <i>together</i>. Maybe she could fix this. Maybe there was still a chance that'd come true.<br>
<br>
But Kalina's blade made contact with the book, and Hope's eyes were filled with brilliant light. She looked around, and it was everywhere, disintegrating every monster, tearing everything apart. Hope's gaze moved onto the group, and nothing had changed. Red auras blazing, hands on catalysts, spells ready to be cast. They were being torn apart, too. It wouldn't last, she kept telling herself. They all just needed to talk. Cast aside their differences. Then everything would be okay. Then they'd all be together again. It would be so lovely, she thought, even as the light consumed her. It'd be everything she ever wanted.<br>
<br>
- - -<br>
<br>
Hope's face stung as she landed face-first out of the portal. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Owww..." </span></b>She groaned, rubbing her bruised cheek with the palm of her hand. Her eyes fluttered open, and she saw no harsh lights. Or any semblance of a castle. Hope blinked, head swiveling around to see everyone relatively okay. She couldn't believe it. They did it, didn't they? They made it out alive. Destroying that book was the answer!<br>
<br>
A cheer started to form on her tongue until another familiar voice sounded through the room. Hope recognized it instantly. It was the same feminine voice she'd promised to punish once she'd found them. And as her head snapped to the source, she saw who it belonged to—a fragile, old woman. Hope's eyes narrowed in anger, even more so when the crone had the gall to strike Kalina. After everything, the lady was <i>still </i>persistent. <i>Still </i>violent. It sounded insane! Then, it sounded familiar. Way too familiar.<br>
<br>
Iberis' request to help strike down the woman shook Hope back to reality. She peered down at her hands, contemplating. Of course, that crone deserved no sympathy. For everything she did? There needed to be <i>some</i> justice dealt to her! But not from her hands, Hope decided. Not now. There were more important things to attend to. Something that needed to be said. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"It's okay. I'll be there, Iberis, don't worry about it," </b></span>Hope assured, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"But you go on ahead. I need to talk to Renee first," </b></span><br>
<br>
With that, she moved over to Renee, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Hey, Renee, I know what you're thinking," </b></span>Hope realized the irony of that statement and shifted slightly, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"<b>Well, I <i>think</i> I do. But can we just talk before anything happens?" </b></span>She said, her voice pleading, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"I don't know what Iberis did. I don't know what'll happen because of it. But I do know she didn't just do it for herself. She did it to be like you." </b></span>She gestured to Iberis, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"You see how she looks up to you. All she did was try to take an opportunity to win your admiration. I <i>know </i>Iberis cares. She just needs your guidance," </b></span><br>
<br>
Hope sighed, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Scylla and Kalina, they're worried. Something changed in you, Renee. You should - you <i>need</i> to talk to them. You need to prove what that voice said is untrue. Please. You're not like those psychopaths in that world," </b></span>She pointed at the old woman, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"And you're not like <i>her." </i></span></b></div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1678678803725-png.1072295/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1009/1009425-1badf521969bc371dbcf8d7fd8c19148.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1678678803725.png" title="1678678803725.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
With the transportation of the entire coven and non-members, Renee was out for a few moments longer than everyone else, when she awoke, she could hear commotion happening with a few of the other members, Renee was still recovering, her head was pounding as she tried to stand up only getting up to one knee. Taking a deep breath, she slowly got up to her feet holding her head shaking it. She looked down and saw her hat on the ground, bending over and picking it up she placed it upon her head, she heard footsteps approaching her, turning her head she would see the Shadow Fae only feet away from her. Renee had her eyes shut as she tried to make the headache go away, she listened to Hope explain the situation about Iberis, Renee only shook her head. Hope knew nothing of what was happening between them, how Iberis gave herself unto the best opportunity when it presented itself.<br>
<br>
She would be willing to give herself an old undead priest who was way past his prime, someone who was very untrusting. She gave her loyalty to a undead bishop once she took it away from Renee. Why should she trust someone who did that? And Renee knew if Iberis was trying to be like Renee, she knew she couldnt <b>not </b>be trusted. Renee knew more about who she was more than these few did, Marizopa was right about Renee, she would betray everyone to achieve her goals. She did it with Marizopa a year ago, she stabbed her in her back and killed her to get what she wanted. Iberis would do the same to her soon when the time was right. She looked up to Hope just as the headache disappeared and Hope finished speaking. " <span style="color: #9365b8"><b>What Iberis did was that she jumped shipped and hopped onto the first opportunity to get out of the coven. She allowed that four-armed undead priest to tempt her. She gave herself to him, sacrificed her leg for power and knowledge.</b></span> " Renee's eyes eerily glowed a dark red while she had a slight smirk on her face. " <span style="color: #9365b8"><b>She did it for selfish reasons. It's why we are all in this Coven, Hope. We are all here to grow more powerful. To have our goals and aspirations made real. She achieved what she wanted. She got what she wanted. She has no further use for me. Just like I have no further use for her, Hope. My goal has been shattered when that book was destroyed. My own sister destroyed my goal when she knew that was what I wanted. I was so close, and she knocked me down to my lowest. You have provided nothing of use besides serving as a distraction and an obstacle. </b></span>" Renee's demeanor and voice was calm. <br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Something in me has changed ever since I was able to wield magic. Since I forced it into my being. The time for talk is over, Hope. I've waited long enough. My patience and manipulation only got my goal crushed. I have nothing left. </span></b>" Renee almost looked saddened. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> I am very much like my master. </span></b>" Renee stated as Hope would feel something poking in her stomach, when she looked down she would see Renee pointing two fingers into her and in her other hand, her catalyst, looking up she would see the dark shadow that resided within the book surrounded Renee. A bright flash would occur, and Hope would feel immense pain as she was thrown backwards, electricity flow through her body like knives in the fiber of her being. Renee's finger stayed in their position as she watched Hope fly away, her eyes lit up from the flash and within them was emptiness. <b>[Great Lightning Bolt - B]</b> Hope would slam into the wall feeling a burning hole in her stomach, she could barely move but she could still move. Renee would turn her attention to the rest of the Coven, walking her way towards them as she stared them down under her hat, her red eyes could be seen as her hands and a part of her hat began to emit fire. Hope would hear in her head a whisper, just barely. " <i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Hang on, Hope. We are coming. Keep the witch from the book.</span></i> " Hope could feel her body getting cold. Who was talking? But whatever they said, she knew she had to stop or delay Renee. <br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b>Great Lightning Bolt - B - Magic Affinity B, Electric Affinity E, Magic Range D:</b> Conducting electricity through her body, Renee fires a powerful shot of lightning that strikes the target from 100 feet away. - 4 Post Cooldown.</li>
</ul><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"><i>Marizopa</i></span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1678682102575-png.1072312/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1009/1009442-f3333c5bbbe78bf7c3a38921c29ab2e2.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1678682102575.png" title="1678682102575.png" width="100" height="126" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Marizopa stared at Kalina with hateful eyes, very similar to Renee's, she could smell the magic coming off of Iberis quickly flicked her arm to the side, a green wall of magic conjured into the air and slammed into Iberis' chin, throwing her back onto the ground, when she looked, she would see a wooden trunk standing there, Iberis would taste blood in her mouth along with a few of her teeth hurting. Luckily for Iberis she would feel the necrotic magic flow through her body that kept her going, her leg that was grafted back onto her would tingle. Was this Auldlich? Did he help her take the hit? It should have knocked her out, but she was still here now. " <b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">[You can barely hold your monstrous bloodlust back.]</span> </b>" Marizopa spoke in the same language as she did. " <b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">You are that pesky vampire who would drain Renee of her blood. You still live and you are now here with me? Oh, this is good.</span></b> " Marizopa chuckled, " <b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">Your interference with her caused her rebellion. And eventually your own betrayal.</span> </b>" Marizopa laughed. <br>
<br>
Although with Scylla, she would swipe her hand through the air as fire arrows would ignite into the air, "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> LEAVE HER ALONE!</span></b> " Scylla yelled desperately. Five arrows would scatter into the air as they then each flew at the witch who could hear the flames, she threw a hand up as water appeared in the air in front of each arrow. The magic was countered and dissipated into the flying water. Although this would give Kalina enough time to attack the witch, striking with her rapier, Marizopa quickly looked at the vampire and threw up her hand as she tried to stab her through the head, Marizopa's hand would block the attack but instead of stabbing through her hand and into her head, Marizopa was thrown back off of Kalina. Marizopa laid on the ground while having her hand up still, seeing in her hand Kalina would see a yellow barrier. The witch was smiling as she quickly got up, " <b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">Oh, you fools don't even realize what has happened. </span></b>" Marizopa smiled evilly.</div>

Kalina, having tunnel vision focus on the old witch in front of her, was confused. She felt like she'd gotten stronger, but her attacks against this witch suggested none of it. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I don't care who caused what. All I know is that you don't deserve to be around a second longer.”</b></span> She replied, anger flashing in her eyes. This woman, dead or undead or whatever she was, was far past her expiration date. Besides, she was wrong. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Renee won't betray me, she's nothing like you.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
As Marizopa blocked Kalina's attack with her hand, or rather, a barrier within it. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Your inbound death.”</b></span> That's all she cared to see happen right now. As she got back up and to the witch, she yelled over at the others. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“We can get her if we strike together!”</b></span> She called out. She followed it up with a normal attack towards the witches head again, yet would quickly follow-op with a Precision Strike E at the witches' torso, hoping to throw her off with a weaker first attack to hit her with the main second one.<br>
<br>
<b>Precision Strike</b> E: – Fighting Style [Specialized] [Precision Strikes] E, Accurate E, Penetrating E, Range E, Continuing [Vampiric Infection] E, Contagion E. Character attacks with their fighting style, ignoring 2 grades of speed, 2 grades of armour, reaching 30ft (9m), continuing to deal 1 hp damage for 2 posts and spreading to up to 2 others. - Grade E – 1 Post Cooldown<br>

Unfortunately for Iberis she didn't have the luxury of having tunnel vision in that moment, while yes every fiber of her being harbored a hatred for Marizopa since as far as she was concerned it was all her fault they were in this mess. She could have still been happy enough with Renee, Hope, Scylla and Kalina if it wasn't for her causing Renee to have the desire to go there. She quickly found herself getting knocked hard, but for some reason as much as it had hurt, with that much force she was much less effected than she would have thought, a strike like that could have knocked her out as it was comparable to a boxer throwing a well placed uppercut and then some, even as her jaw and teeth hurt it didn't seem like she broke any thankfully. She did hear Scylla call out and fire her valley of fire arrows not long after only for them to be prevented from hitting their targets.<br>
<br>
She didn't hear the conversation that had been ongoing with Hope and Renee during all of the action. Of course Iberis was rather shocked when she noticed Hope had been flung against against the wall with a hole in her caused by magic, and she saw Renee approaching this could only mean one thing. So this was it wasn't it? From Iberis's perspective she hadn't been trying to do the things that Renee claimed since all she had wanted to do intially was threaten Auldlich and see if she could get the infomration out of him having no idea the ritual would take place. As a result in her mind, It was simply the voices that had been correct back in that realm and he had ben right, all the others had been right too, Renee was going to betray them.<br>
<br>
When Iberis managed to steady herself on her feet and recover, She looked towards Marizopa, the very same look of killing intent she had before but this time a grin was on her face, after hearing what Marizopa had to say. If one looked closely they could perhaps see a few more tears coming down Iberis's now arguably disturbing face, the very visage she had shown to those who had tormented her back at the orphanage  as she spoke in a very ominous way "You're half right Marizopa."<br>
<br>
She then thought to herself focusing on Auldlich's image, mentally speaking<i> I finally understand, you were right all along, Renee is no different than Marizopa,  I can feel you here, let me be your catalyst, master, let me serve as your catalyst,  the tool of your revenge and their destruction, I'll make Marizopa pay for crossing you and the others  just like I made them pay all those years ago, lend me your power, use my body in this moment I'm ready to accept what comes my way.</i><br>
As much as it pained Iberis to say this to him mentally initially the darkness was consuming her, She had thought of Renee as family initially, never mind a teacher but her discarding Hope just like she was nothing to her was the last straw. She knew then and there despite her efforts there was no turning Renee back. The fact that Renee wouldn't attack her master with them all confirmed it. Renee was no longer Iberis's master but someone to be eliminated.<br>
<br>
She then looked at Marizopa with a focused glare intentionally, knowing that Renee was watching, tapping into<b> Deception F </b>to make her intention to attack Marizopa alone look more genuine, as she started doing her zig zag  staff gesture to cast <b>Energy Bolt, </b>Before at the last moment she pivoted into  the more powerful D grade <b>Energy Stream </b>attack, quickly shifting her staff around in a circular motion  directing it right at Renee in order to catch her off guard! Iberis hoped to hone whatever power Auldlich could use through her, given her younger and magically gifted form, it would hopefully be advantageous to him. After that gesture regardless of what happened she shifted a full force genuine <b>Energy Bolt , </b>completing the motion toward Marizopa, with the full intent to try to do as much damage as possible in both cases. Now it was kill or be killed and Iberis had no plans of letting Renee have her way now.<br>
<br>
Summary:<br>
<br>
1. After recovering quickly due to Necrotic energy and  becoming unhinged once again with paranoia and feeling betrayed, invite Audlich to use her fully in that moment as her catalyst, Using <b>Deception F</b>, fake like she is going to attack Marizopa with the others by using a barely incomplete energy Bolt staff gesture, before pivoting into a  genuine more  powerful <b>Energy Stream</b> Attack targeted at Renee's heart with everything she's got.<br>
<br>
2.  Then pivot back into a genuine completed full force <b>Energy Bolt </b>attack at Marizopa.<br>
<br>
<b>Energy Bolt- </b>Magic Affinity E Arcane Affinity F, Magic Range F, Magic Targeting F, Energized E, Focus E -A more refined more powerful variation of Mana strike, Iberis sends forth a bolt of energy to strike a single target up to 10 ft away. Grade E - 0 Post Cooldown (Energized)<br>
<br>
<b>Energy Stream</b>- Magic Affinity D, Arcane Affinity F, Magic Range E, Magic Targeting F, Energized D,Focus D- A more focused advanced attack than a simple Mana strike, Iberis focuses a red concentrated beam of energy from her staff to use offensively against a target up to 30 ft away,- Grade D - 1 Post Cooldown (Energized)</div>

Hope couldn't believe it, eyes wobbling as the dreadful truth was poured out before her. The old lady was right. Renee didn't care about her - Renee didn't care about <i>anyone</i>. She'd been played. All this time, there was no bond, no sense of fellowship, not even a shred of sympathy. Renee was never her friend to begin with. Hope shook her head, desperately fighting the hot tears in her eyes. It couldn't have been true. This <i>had</i> to be some trick! What about those re-affirming words? And that lecture? And the whole <i>goddamn</i> journey? That had to come from <i>somewhere</i>, right? Maybe Renee was just unaware. She just needed to know how much she was cared for. The idea didn't take long to pop into her head. She knew what to do next. Just one simple gesture would solve <i>everything. It had to. </i><br>
<br>
But as soon as Hope leaned in, arms outstretched, she felt something poke into her stomach. She looked down at Renee's fingers. Then she met Renee's gaze; nothing. And there was still nothing as agony rippled throughout her body. And as she flew away, a scream erupting from her constricting throat, she could only be sure of one thing. There would always be nothing.<br>
<br>
She didn't feel herself slam into the wall. Every muscle in her body felt like it was on fire. And yet, there was still this pervading coolness - slowly encroaching, smothering. Then there were voices. Kalina's, Scylla's, Marziopa's, and one more she didn't recognize. It gave her a demand, and she ignored it. What would be the point? It wouldn't work. Nothing she tried did. It only got her into more problems. Problems she'd need the others to pull her out of. But maybe it wouldn't have to be that way anymore. Maybe there was a way they'd never have to worry about her again. The answer was so simple. <br>
<br>
Hope turned her head, eyes drearily observing the coven's battle. She saw Renee start to approach them and let the tears finally flow. Renee would do the same thing to them, too. Without mercy. To her own <i>sister, </i>to a <i>child</i>. And she wouldn't be able to do anything. The thought made more iridescent tears run down Hope's face. They didn't deserve this. After everything, <i>this</i> couldn't have been how it ended for them. They deserved to be free. They deserved to be happy.<br>
<br>
And Renee was in the way of that.<br>
<br>
Hope felt something bloom within, her hands slowly closing into fists. Maybe there was still hope. Maybe she could try <i>one</i> more thing. <br>
<br>
Shadows gathered under her as she channeled her magic, twisting them into large tentacles that shot out at Renee, attempting to tangle her with <b>[Umbral Grasp - E]. </b>In her hand, the shadows coalesced with chaos, morphing into <b>[Detainment - D] </b>that flew screaming at both Renee and Marziopa. Hope watched silently. There was nothing else she could do. <br>

With Renee walking towards the rest of the group, thinking she had finished Hope off in one shot, she wasn't expecting her to still be alive. This madness had to end. She needed them all dead then the book would be hers. None of them would stand in her way. She had allowed them all to continue being obstacles in her path, in her path towards destiny. Towards <i>her </i>destiny. And it only led to the downfall of her ultimate goal. No longer would she be bound by the plight of emotion and attachment any longer. She had wished this came sooner. Now to kill them all in the same place Dahak was supposed to be killed in originally. It all came full circle to her first true lie. Allowing Dahak to live. Her eyes stared at Iberis as she came to see what had just happened, Renee knew she was faster than her own apprentice. She knew Iberis' weaknesses, but it was mainly because it was something she had never seen before. Renee's spell was beginning to cast as she had leaned forward while her hand glowed brightly with inferno, only for a dark shadow to touch and entangle Renee, her eyes widen at the sudden constriction, she could feel the tentacles surround her body and limbs before bringing her down to a knee. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">No! </span></b>" Renee gasped with shock, her eyes suddenly awoke again, this time with <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">fury.</span><br>
<br>
Renee's head twisted to look at Hope, seeing the Shadow Fae barely alive, even after using one of her strongest attacks on her, she still lived. Did that show how weak Renee was or how tenacious Hope was? Renee's head darted back to Iberis who was already casted her spell at Renee, she was about to take a strong attack from her apprentice. Seeing Iberis, Renee noticed a dark figure standing behind Iberis and it wasn't Auldlich, it was something more, something more powerful? What was this thing doing? She couldn't see its features, and it seemed no one else had noticed it. Renee did her best to try and move in the constraints that had immobilized her. Moving her arm and trying to turn her body. Iberis' <b>Energy Stream</b> came rolling forth towards the witch as she was able to barely turn and cover herself. The magic would collide with her as she braced herself, it burst with a red wave of magic as Renee was thrown out of the constraints and backwards, letting out a painfilled cry of agony, Renee laid on the ground as she had taken the hit to her chest, she coughed a bit of blood, gently placing a hand on her chest before looking up at Iberis, her eyes full of fury and pain as she began to slowly get back up. Blood dripped from the sides of her lips. Renee took a deep breath as she gritted her bloodied teeth and begin to cast a spell of her own. <br>
<br>
Scylla would notice what Iberis was doing, turning to see that she had struck Renee. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Iberis! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! </span></b>" She cried out in horror seeing her master, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">We should be attacking the weird old lady witch! Not each other! Hope, please help- </span></b>" She stopped talking once she saw that Hope was laying against the wall with a hole in her stomach, signs of electricity on Hope, from the burn marks to the smell, even seeing small snippets of blue electricity surging on Hope. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> H-Hope... </span></b>" Scylla's eyes widened as tears began to form in her eyes. Iberis would notice a small sun appear behind Scylla out of nowhere, noticing a warm then hot sensation behind herself as well, looking to Renee she would see Renee's hand on the ground with fire roaring from around it, her eyes staring into hers as she was smiling evilly. <br>
<br>
As Kalina had gone to attack Marizopa who was laughing at her attempts, the old hag would feel something grasp her body and limbs, although she was proficient in magic and was able to quickly dispel this containment magic, it was enough time for Kalina to strike the hag, but instead her attack would be blocked once more by the barrier that had once blocked Kalina's attack, although her attack barely pierced and cracked this strong magic. Marizopa was sweating a bit as the battle raged on, although she would then feel the incoming attack of magic coming towards her, having to turn to dispel it quickly, Iberis' Energy Bolt was dispelled quite easily like it she had merely slapped it away before turning back to Kalin a only to truly have no time to block or cast a barrier. Kalina's Rapier simply flew through the old hag as her weapon tasted blood once more. The hag's eyes widen for a moment as she felt Kalina's weapon pierce her lung, just beside her heart. Marizopa smiled at the vampire with bloodied teeth as Marizopa grabbed Kalina by her hand and pulled her in closer, not allowing her to pull her weapon out, Marizopa's other hand grabbed Kalina by her neck, pushing her backwards and upwards, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">You will not be allowed to-</span></b> " Marizopa's eyes had widen as she could feel this immense heat on her back, seeing a small sun form behind Kalina just as the vampire saw the same thing behind Kalina. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">You dirty little whore.</span></b> " Marizopa whispered looking over to the rest of the fighting, she would see Renee had casted her spell into the floor while wearing a bloodied smile on her face, eyes full of darkness.<br>
<br>
Renee had casted a spell made of fire, using her teleportation magic to create a giant fireball behind each of them, one was behind Iberis, Scylla, Marizopa and Kalina. <b>[Magic Affinity C, Energized C, Fire Affinity D, Magic Targets D, Ranged Magic D, Teleportation E - Cooldown 2 Posts (Energized)]</b> Renee smirked as each fireball then exploded behind each of her targets. Although Marizopa was able to dispel one fireball, choosing the fireball behind herself on a quick decision. Iberis, Scylla and Kalina would each be blasted forward with a powerful torrent of flames to accompany them. Each of them would each feel painful burns on their persons. Iberis and Scylla had each had their entire backs and legs scorched down to their flesh, the immense pain and burning was overwhelming, luckily Iberis wouldn't feel much in her grafted leg and could move it but the burns still hurt. Kalina had only stabbed Marizopa deeper as she was flung forward into the old hag. Kalina would find herself on the floor as well, her back to her feet scorched down to her flesh and bones. She would see Marizopa next to her slowly breathing as the rapier was stuck in her chest, she was slowly dying while holding the weapon, her eyes looked up at the ceiling. She was trying to speak but couldn't, Kalina would see that her rapier had jagged to the side, most likely piercing or slashing her heart when she was blasted forward into the hag. The smell of burning flesh was overwhelming, smoke momentarily filled the air as a figure was slowly limping forward towards the group. It was Renee, she held where Iberis had striked her, her eyes were cold and uncaring, blood on the sides of her mouth as she winced with each step. <br>
<br>
The witch was looking around, not at her companions but like she was searching for something. She was looking for the destroyed book. Hoping to find any semblance of it and see if she can restore it. The witch was groaning quietly, she was most likely having internal bleeding from being attacked by Iberis who had hit her with a critical shot to the chest. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> Where is it... Where is the book?</span></b> " Renee asked quietly, thinking she had eliminated everyone with her strong attack, her eyes looked somewhat worried, like she had seen something, something powerful. Passing Scylla who was unconscious, she was gently breathing but it was shallow. Hope could only watch in horror at what Renee had done. How she blew everyone down like they were enemies, no, like they were less then enemies. Like they were cattle. Kalina would be able to barely move, she could probably get a good strike in on Renee when she got close enough who was desperately looking around for the book. <br>
<br>
Hope would begin to drift away into the good night, she would feel a hand on her shoulder. " <i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Have you done enough, Hope? Do you feel content with what had just happened? </span></i>" The voice quietly spoke to her. " <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>You need to get up and end this madness, Hope. </i></span>" She would open her eyes and see two dark figures standing in front of her, watching the chaos that was unravelling before them. One of these shadowy figures looked to Hope, " <i><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Get up, Hope. Stop her or you will all day.</span></i> " One of them pointed right at her where she would feel a vigorous pump of adrenaline course through her. Able to freely move once more, she still had this hole in her stomach, but she would feel like she could do anything.</div>

A monstrous smile adorned her face when she finally managed to hit the old lady. If Marizopa was in any way shape or form susceptible, the [Continuing] in Kalina's attack would spread her own Vampiric Infection through Marizopa's veins as if it were a poison, continuing to wreak havoc on the old woman's body from the inside. When Kalina was pulled in closer by the smiling witch, she could only return the smile and spoke in monster. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“[You're already allowing me too.]”</b></span> She managed to verbalise, even though her neck had been grabbed, as she knew that her weapon penetrating this witches' body was enough to really hurt her, both due to the vampiric infection and the contagion. She was almost feeling an odd type of excitement being in this position, perhaps once again having her monstrous side grab a hold of her.<br>
<br>
That's when she felt the sudden burning of fire behind her, seeing the same thing happen to everyone. What was going on? She wasn't sure. What she was sure off, however, was that her back was burned thoroughly. She'd been blasted into Marizopa, he rapier still stuck in the witches' flesh. It could stay there and keep spreading its Vampiric Infection into the hag's wound. Kalina was in a lot of pain again, unable to think clearly as smoke filled her unliving lungs and her back hurt more than she'd ever imagined something hurting.<br>
<br>
She suddenly noticed Renee limping. Had someone managed to hurt her sister? That was unacceptable. Her sister couldn't regenerate like her! Worry filled her mind. Kalina struggled to get up, using all of her willpower to fight through the pain, then started to drag herself towards Renee. She could hear her sister mumble about the book. It was that blasted book. Always that blasted book! <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Renee, it's okay, calm down. The book is gone, it no longer has a hold over you, you're free again. Please, just banish its corruptive influence from your mind. You're stronger than some dusty old tome!”</b></span> She pleaded, worried more about her sister's mental and physical state than about herself. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You're wounded, you should stay still so it doesn't get worse. Your old master is also defeated, so even she can't influence you now.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She needed to convince her sister to let go of this stupid book. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You don't need the book, I swear I'll find another way to help you become immortal. I'll make you a vampire as well! You'd be able to stay young, like me, we could live together for eternity! Or we can find someone with strong enough healing magic to de-age you, or... or we can find something else! You don't need this book or realm to obtain your goals, so please, just snap out of it. You're stronger than this!”</b></span> She kept pleading, hoping to have her sister snap back to her old self, the Renee she'd met over ten years ago, the one who'd given her so much blood to feed on that she'd jokingly said they were like blood-related sisters now. A joke that had quickly turned into how she truly felt about Renee. That Renee had to still be in there, right? It had to. It couldn't have vanished, it just needed to be brought out again. That was all. Get rid of the last traces of the books influence on Renee, then bring back the old Renee. Yes. That was all.</div>

Iberis felt a sense of anticipation as her beam went forwards, an d she saw that Hope's restraints gripped onto Renee just as she was about to counter cast. Iberis knew very well that Renee could have killed them then and there had that cast been allowed to go through. Renee should have expected what was coming in that moment. Of course there was deep confliction within that she was quite literally attacking not only her master but someone who she considered family, but with the help of whatever was on her side and her dark side flaring out she was managing to surpress it all well enough to take action against Renee. Iberis only continued to grin when she heard Renee call out no. She was going to teach Renee what happened when someone used her for their own gain. Even after all of the times that Iberis had spared Renee, when she could have finished her off, and this was what Iberis was repaid with for showing mercy?<br>
<br>
She had no idea what rhetoric Renee was spreading about her but she would have completely disagreed. Iberis had no idea that Auldlich was going to sacrifice her leg to give her the knowledge she wanted, she thought she could negotiate his life for the knowledge and instead she was left with this. It was also presumptuous that Iberis had wanted to leave the coven or that she was going to cease working with Renee after the fact. She had yet again tried to extend a metaphorical hand to Renee of peace and this was what they got, a severely injured Hope and a Renee who was clearly intent on killing all of them herself.<br>
<br>
She heard Scylla calling out to her questioning why she had done it, normally this would have pained her but that only thing she felt was numbness.. After all Iberis was a child soldier of sorts in utilization to Renee. She didn't really have time to respond ot Scylla as she saw the back and forth between Marizopa and Kalina, of course her better spell had been immediately dispelled. At least she understood Scylla finally understood what had happened to Hope probably, based on that reaction.<br>
<br>
 Had she been able to see better what Renee had been casting in response maybe Iberis could have responded better, instead she saw the grievous wound inflicted onto Marizopa by Kalina, had it been over more it would have been completely fatal, but instead they were left with two still very much alive powerful casters, Iberis would need to hit her again, but before she could even consider it, suddenly there was a large glow and before she knew it she was being seared and it was like agony for a moment as the majority of her had just been very burned from grade of the spell. Iberis wasn't even sure if she could see straight in that moment. Despite the pain which felt no worse than Renee deciding to make the ultimate betrayal was, She was still conscious, whether it was because of what ever entity was behind her or Auldlich or Necrotic energy who knew.<br>
<br>
The good news was Marizopa was dead now, as Iberis managed to look that general direction and thankfully her catalyst hadn't been targeted, as she crawled her way over towards it to use it to right herself upright despite the pain. It wasn't long before Iberis looked at Renee who was looking for the book and she saw Renee still looking for it ,despite the fact that it had been destroyed, then there was the fact that Kalina started talking as if there was going back from this.<br>
<br>
She was slumped using it for support, looking at Renee. So, Renee, tell me how does it feel to die all alone?" It was looking and sounding  like Iberis was at the point where she was sounding  rather  unwell from all that had transpired.<br>
<br>
"You probably just killed Scylla, but you don't care do you?, just like you tried to mow down Hope.." She paused,<br>
<br>
"Kalina still considers you her sister, but what she doesn't know is that her sister died a long time ago..." She'd wince some from the pain.<br>
<br>
"You've been like the family I never had, Renee, and I wanted to do so many more things with you and learn so much more from you..I thought together we were going to be unstoppable."<br>
<br>
"And yet they all warned me and I just couldn't believe it, I'm just..really sorry it had to come to this."  She said more softly, with  a much sadder edge, some more tears coming. She was going through a full range of emotions during her speech. It was even  harder for her now, seeing up close just how badly she had wounded Renee even if it had been necessary, the full realization hitting her that Renee was probably going to die in this place one way or another. Iberis wasn't in the headspace where she was going to attack Renee again. It was up to Hope to make a pivotal decision.</div>

 </b>​</div><br>
It should've been enough, Hope kept telling herself. Her spells, Iberis' spells - it should've ended it. This nightmare should have been over. But as her eyes painfully swept over to Scylla, lips desperately trying to warn her, warmth enveloped her face. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Scylla...No! Get away-" </span></b>Hope's voice shattered as a massive explosion rocketed smoke into her eyes, stinging them shut. Three more sounded around her, each making her feel smaller and smaller. She'd failed to protect them. She knew she shouldn't have done anything. It would've been so much easier to just give up.<br>
<br>
But then the voices were back. Hope tried to ignore them again, closing her eyes tighter. They weren't real. She was just going crazy; it was all inside her head. It had to be. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Go away..."</span>  </i></b>Her eyes quivered as a phantom hand rested on her shoulder, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Leave me alone. Can't you just let me..." </span></i></b>Hope paused, the words stopping on her tongue as a new sensation flowed throughout her body, sapping away the pain. Her eyes shot open, finally landing upon the two shadowy figures in front of her. She tried getting up, and it was surprisingly easy. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"<i>What did you do?" </i></b></span>Hope peered down at her hands, clenching and unclenching them in renewed vigor. It felt <i>exhilarating. </i>Just like how it felt to annihilate those ruthless monsters. Just like how it w<i>ould</i> feel to annihilate one more.   <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"N<i>o, I get it now. Thank you. I won't let it go to waste." </i></b></span><br>
<br>
In her peripherals, Hope saw the injured forms of Kalina, Scylla, and Iberis. Alive, thankfully, but she heard them talking, apologizing, pleading. To <i>Renee</i>. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Did they not see what had happened? Did they not <i>know </i>she'd done to them? Renee tried to kill them. And <i>she'd do it again. </i>She wasn't the friend, mentor, or sister they once knew. Not anymore. She was a backstabber, a liar,  a <i>monster</i>. And monsters like her needed to be killed for <i>everyone</i>'s safety. That was the one thing she taught her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Kalina, Iberis, Listen!" </b></span>Hope cried, stumbling forward, a hand displaying the hole in her abdomen, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"<b>Look at me. Look at yourselves. Look at what she did to <i>us. </i>And for what?  What did <i>we</i> do to deserve this?" </b></span>Her hands balled into fists, trembling in anger, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Nothing! All we've done is try to help her - <i>try</i> to live up to her standards, but it was never enough. She never cared! We're just... goddamn puppets to her!" </b></span>Hope screamed, tears streaming down her face, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"<i>Everything</i> was a lie. She used us all. She <i>knew</i> we cared, and she <i>used us. </i>It was never the book. It was never me, and it was never you. It was all her. <i>THIS</i> is her." </b></span><br>
<br>
Barely able to whisper the words to her spell, Hope held out her palm, creating a dark ball of destructive <b>[Anarchy - E]. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Tell me, would a person who loves you try to hurt you so much? Would a person who 'cares' not even shed a single tear at the <i>thought</i> of killing their own sister...?" </span></b><br>
<br>
Hope didn't wait for an answer, launching the ball of magic at Renee. She didn't care what they thought. <i>This</i> would keep them safe. <i>This</i> was what was best for them. <br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1679026779650-png.1073377/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1010/1010507-84c5b5886b2e5501532048812b441614.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1679026779650.png" title="1679026779650.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Renee continued limping forth, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Come on... I'm so close...</span></b> " She whispered to herself with a grimace on her face. She was in fact very close to achieving her dream, her goals and aspirations. Whatever you want to call it, it didn't matter to this witch. Wouldn't matter if she acquired the book. She would succeed where her master failed. She had killed all of her fellow Coven members and her own sister. This was worth the price. She had sacrificed them all for her goal. She had won. Renee smelled the burnt flesh that lingered in the air. Renee saw the book finally, her eyes lit up like a loving mother seeing her child. It laid on the floor in a destroyed state, she took a couple steps forward as a smile formed on her face then the voices came. Renee stopped looking down to Kalina speaking to her, pleading to her to leave the book, to let it go. She could give her the immortality she was looking for, turn her into a vampire! But that wasn't enough... Not anymore. She wanted to become a God now. Seeing what her master was, seeing her as an unseeable entity that had complete control over her own world. <br>
<br>
Kalina's offers and pleas either fell onto deaf ears or Renee dismissed them, although her face was one of surprise, she had thought that fireball would have killed Kalina. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">No. I'm here already. I am close to discovering the real secrets to life and death, to ascend. Why would I want to be a mere vampire that offers me nothing. </span></b>" That last word was filled with venom and rancor. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I want Godhood. Not to become a weak walking corpse.</span></b> " Renee stated, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You are <i>weak</i>, your offers <i>weaker</i>.</span></b> " Renee's voice raised in the empty chamber, echoing off of the walls as the sound repeated itself for it to sink into Kalina's mind, Renee revealed who she either was or has become. This wasn't the same girl Kalina had met a long time ago in that dilapidated chapel all those years ago. This was Renee: a traitor, a sacrificial witch, evil. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You have nothing that the book can offer. Your sisterhood is mute. Your existence, even less. Go find your bug. If you can before I drag her into my new realm and show her the true meaning of pain and fear.</span></b> " Renee's eyes were full of resentment while she clenched her fists in rage. <br>
<br>
Iberis' words would then rake in Renee's ears, although it wasn't what she was saying, it was the fact that she was saying anything. She lived too!? Was she that weak!? Iberis was a weak witch, her own power trumps that of Iberis'! Although instead of surprise or shock, it was anger as she snapped her head to see Iberis on the ground. It was where she belonged, the <i>Judas</i>! Renee's eyes flared with rage and hatred, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You have no room to talk, <i>Judas</i>, we stopped being family when you gave yourself up to your new undead master. </span></b>" Renee growled lowly through gritted teeth. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You have no room to speak on what family is. </span></b>" Renee glared at Iberis as she stood up straight, standing above Iberis. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> I sought out my own power. I resent you. All of you. </span></b>" Renee roared as her anger rose through her throat, pointing her hand out at Iberis, electricity sparked from her fingers as strings of blue flashed and began to cook Iberis. She would feel the immense pain Renee inflicted on her, when she looked at the witch, Renee had a sadistic smile on her face, her widened eyes were still empty despite having them being lit up from the flashes her magic was producing. <br>
<br>
Renee's head turned to the figure of Kalina, wearing the same expression, while she raised her other hand, pointing her fingers out as they ignited with the same electricity that was frying and killing Iberis. Kalina would get a taste of the same amount of pain Iberis was experiencing, Renee had revealed who she truly was now. She was a monster. A husk of who she once was. The symbol of evil. The true Judas. Kalina and Iberis would flail in pain despite not even moving, whether it was instinct or the electricity causing them to flail about would be up to them if they survived this. The two wouldn't be able to move in this state of pain. Their visions would darken, the pain would begin to subside and their hearing began to quiet down. <br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b>Electric Sparks - D - Magic Affinity D, Energized D, Electric Affinity E, Magic Range E, Magic Targets E:</b> Allows user to conduct electricity into fingertips, flowing out like strings to electrocute up to 5 targets at around 30 feet away. - 1 post cooldown.</li>
</ul><br>
Through either her own madness or the sounds of screaming and pain from both Iberis and Kalina or even the enjoyment she was garnering from spreading pain and torture, Renee could not hear Hope's own tirade about her. Although what Hope did not know was that the shadowy beings were standing with Hope, their power spreading to Hope as her next attack would only amplify in power. Hope's <b>[Anarchy]</b> would fly from her palm straight at Renee's back, a etch of her profound smile could be seen by Hope, she would know what she was doing was the right thing. Someone this crazy did not deserve to gain the power of a God. She didn't deserve a family to have. She didn't deserve to live. Although just as Hope's orb of darkness left her palm, Renee's eye snapped to look at Hope as she released her magic. What was this look in Renee's eye? Was it regret? Hatred? Anger? Shock? Relief? Fear? Was she next? It was impossible to say with how crazy she was. It wouldn't be a question that got an answer. It would haunt Hope in her dreams and nightmares. The vicious smile she wore on her face. She wasn't human, not anymore. <br>
<br>
Renee released her lightning and quickly turned to face Hope to get another attack off, but it would be hopeless. The chaos orb would slam into Renee while she was in the middle of turning, flying into her like a truck. Renee would feel the power it had in it, she knew Hope wasn't capable of wielding this power. There was no way! Was she better than her!? Renee flew far through the chamber they laid in and slammed into the wall, indenting it while massive cracks appeared around the point of impact. The witch would slump slowly onto the cold lonely floor. She slowly blinked and tried to say something, only for blood to pour from her mouth and nose, she coughed while she fell over onto the ground, her eyes stared ahead of her. At her attacker, seeing Hope. And the two figures that stood beside her on each side. Did she know of the two evils beside her? Did any of them see them? Renee slowly breathed in and out, raspy as they were becoming, her entire body was broken. Bones were broken, she couldn't even move. Only twitch while she stared at the book now, that damn book that called to her. Renee tried moving towards it. It had the answers! It could save her! She just needed to move! To no avail. She had been permanently paralyzed. <br>

Hope would finally succumb to her injuries, falling over from exhaustion and pain while the adrenaline and burst of energy she felt had disappeared as instantly as it had come. Beside Hope two figures would come into reality. A female and male would make their presence known. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> They have killed one another. </span></b>" The male spoke like he commanded the skies; his voice was booming. " <b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"><i>So, it seems. An unfortunate fate that had been changed. One that was previously changed.</i> </span></b>" The female spoke like a raspy whisper. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">They all are victims in this. All but for two.</span></b> " The regal looking figure stated, he lifted a boney hand up into the air where the book, the Codexius Chaoxius, floated into the air then flew through the air into the hand of this massive being. The book, as soon as it landed into the hand of this mysterious being, restored itself into its original form. The book flew open in an instant as it flipped rapidly through pages and stopped on one with the images of skulls and souls. The figure gently tapped his staff on the ground where the book reacted and released four orbs into the air. Each of them flew towards the four that were trying to prevent chaos from happening. From the World potentially ending. Preventing the End Times. <br>

The four orbs flew into Hope, Scylla, Iberis and Kalina. Their bodies were rejuvenated to their original selves, completely healed and their souls restored. All of them but Scylla would awake seeing the two figures standing there with this book in their hands. " <b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"><i>Greetings, Saviors. You have saved the world from the End Times happening. </i></span></b>" The woman spoke while she wore a smile on her face, she had a long finger on the side of her face. " <i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"><b>You have done a thankless job for this world. </b></span></i>" She continued. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">Allow us to introduce ourselves, Saviors. I am Rosan Bulvark. And this is my lover, Ryke Bulvark.</span></i></b> " She spoke. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">The original King and Queen of this country. Before we were uprooted and usurped.</span></i></b> " Rosan finished. "<span style="color: #b8312f"><b> Before you do anything rash, know we do not intend to use this book to bring an Armageddon into this world. We are using this book to leave this plane of existence and keep this book safe. We have brought you all back to life. And to deal with the one that had created this massive problem for you. </b></span>" Ryke thundered as his dead gaze looked over to Renee who was still trying to move, her eyes were hopeless. She looked like a broken mess. " But ours to deal with is the Witch, Marizopa. " Who was still alive during all this. She was barely alive. Rosan snapped her fingers that created an eerie echo, a dark fog came from the other side of the room and stopped just behind the two. Through the fog walked a legion of undead. Zombies and skeletons all dressed in knight armor and wielding weapons. Through this legion walked a massive golden figure, not as tall as Ryke but he was still big. It was Naberius. The following him was a bishop like figure that was Auldlich. When they came up to the King and Queen, they both got onto one knee and kneeled while bowing their heads. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Your Ma</span><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">jesties. </span></b>" The two spoke in unison. " <b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"><i>Please acquire Marizopa, be sure to restore her to life. </i></span></b>" Rosan spoke. The two stood then walked ahead of them towards Kalina, Auldlich passed by Iberis and looked at her before giving a smile and nod then turned to look ahead. The two moved to Marizopa who was barely on the cusp of life. Naberius grabbed the rapier in her body and pulled it out before tossing it down at Kalina while he looked down at her, even though Kalina couldn't see his face or eyes, he was staring at her. Almost like he was challenging her. <br>
<br>
Auldlich used his dark magics and restored Marizopa to life. Her eyes slowly opened, and she looked up to see the two corpses before her. Naberius quickly turned around and grabbed Marizopa by her face with his massive golden claw and lifting her up. Auldlich had placed her in restraints as Naberius walked off back to his king and queen with the restrained Marizopa. Chaox was there among the ranks, rubbing her massive hands although there was no sign of the Skullbearer she had. Vulm was there too, holding the massive flaming mace while in place. Then there was this glowing icey skeleton, that was most likely Orcus. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Before we leave. Do you have anything else for us? </span></b>" Ryke would ask.</div>

<br>
This was all just some bad dream, right? It had to be. Iberis was just confused as well, due to having been under the influence of the book as well. That's why she was convinced there was no coming back for Renee. She didn't get why even Hope was thinking. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“It's just the book... it must be the book! It'll go away once she's been away from the book for long enough!”</b></span> She shouted back at Hope, although her voice was sounding more pleading than anything, as if begging Hope to just agree with her and stop confronting her with a truth she wasn't prepared to accept.<br>
<br>
Even Renee herself was still speaking under the influence of that book. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Stop saying that, it's just the book influencing you, you need to fight it!”</b></span> She tried, once again pleading with her sister. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Yes, I am weak, that's why I've been wandering this godforsaken realm for ten years without getting anywhere and barely even managed to start confronting my monstrous nature. Yet I'm getting there, I'm fighting it to become stronger, which you can do as well! Just fight against that book's influence on you!”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She dug her nails into her hands upon hearing the rest of Renee's words. She didn't want to believe any of it. Their sisterhood being mute? Threatening Sophia? No, no, this had to be the book speaking, not Renee. As if to wipe away the last doubts on her mind, Renee suddenly decided to attack again. Kalina wasn't sure what hurt more. The electricity coursing through her undead veins or the shattering of whatever illusions she'd been keeping up about her sister. She felt utterly defeated. When the electricity made her fall onto the ground, she didn't have any strength left to get up. <br>
<br>
She could feel life being restored to her, far more efficiently than her own regeneration could ever bring it. It made her wonder what was going on, until she lifted up her head and spotted two odd figures. She instinctively worried. When had more undead figures showing up ever been a good thing? She only eased up a little when they called them saviours. That changed when they introduced themselves as the king and queen. Were these the people looking to destroy the country and turn it into an undead paradise? Or were those lies as well? As if reading her mind, Ryke answered just that question.<br>
<br>
She was confused by Narberius throwing her dagger at her. Part of her wanted to attack him for it, yet she was too exhausted to grant that monstrous side the time of day. Kalina was confused when they asked if they had anything else for them. Even so, it allowed her to ask the question. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Can I bring her back, to how she was before all this happened?”</b></span> She asked, not even trying to avoid sounding desperate. She still hadn't given up on Renee altogether, despite having almost been given a third death by her own sister. She was still deluding herself with the idea that it was all just due to the book and nothing else. That something could be restored, returned or changed.</div>

Just as the orb left her palm, Hope was already thinking of the gratification she'd get from this. She could feel it now. The rush, Kalina's and Iberis' praise, the <i>retribution. </i>It would've been like nothing she'd ever felt before. Yet, there was no rush as she watched her magic send Renee into the farthest wall. And no satisfaction as her body crumpled to the floor. Hope felt her stomach drop. There it was again. That <i>stupid</i> feeling that'd gotten her tricked. That horrible <i>empathy</i> none of those monsters ever deserved. It couldn't stop her here. She needed to finish what she had started. For herself, for the greater good, for <i>them</i>. <br>
<br>
As Hope tried to will herself forward, Kalina's desperate pleading popped into memory. She tried to shake it out of her head. But it still didn't make any sense. Kalina was betrayed and tricked, too. And probably had been <i>way</i> before this adventure had even started. So why was she still fond of this <i>monster? </i>So what if it was her sister? Couldn't she see the good it'd bring to rid the world of Renee? Couldn't she see the pain she'd spare if only she'd strike down her sister? <br>
<br>
The thought gave Hope pause. Even more than the sudden numbness in her collapsing body. And even more so than the two figures finally revealing themselves, their magic mending her broken body and their praises reaching her ears. She couldn't hear it. Only that single, <i>monstrous</i> thought notion in her head. <br>
<br>
A monster would've thought of that, Hope realized. <i>She</i> thought of that. <br>
<br>
The sound of Ryke's voice brought her back to the present. Hope looked around with quivering eyes, darting back and forth to what remained of the coven. She felt her heart swell with shame. Killing Renee wouldn't make Kalina and Iberis happier. If only they'd heard that. They would've never looked at her the same. She would've been just as ruthless as Renee. That couldn't happen. She had to be the one who <i>cared</i>. She <i>needed</i> to make it up for them. <br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Kalina, Iberis, I didn't mean to - I just wanted to-"</span> </b>She shook her head hopelessly. No words could justify what she thought. There had to be another way. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Ryke, is there any way you could reverse this? <i>All </i>of this? Before we even made it into that realm?</span>" </b>Hope pleaded, parroting Kalina's request and desperation, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Please, I'm so sorry. I didn't want any of this to happen. Could you just make it go away? Please?"  </span></b></div>

 <br>
It wasn't a surprise that Renee wasn't going to accept Kalina's offer. They were far beyond any kind of agreement that could be made. It was a bit hard for Iberis to focus on the nuances of the situation when she was so burned, it wasn't like she was pain resistant with the exception of the leg that she possessed. Iberis thought that becoming a vampire was certainly the best case scenario for Renee at this point, if she even wanted to live, but Renee refused. It wasn't like Iberis would have forgiven Renee for all of her transgressions against them at this point anyway had she been placated, she would have likely taken the opportunity to finish her off herself if she had too.<br>
She then once again heard Renee, how hypocritical she was being criticizing Iberis for wanting to further her own goals, while Renee was quite literally willing to kill all of them to do the same. Regardless she looked back at Renee defiantly, as she tried to cut into her with her words, the name..Judas sort of sounded familiar she wasn't sure where she heard it before, but despite the name sounding familar and not remembering the origin for some reason she recognized what the sentiment carried behind it. As Renee stood up straight Iberis was about to retort <i>You can kill me now Renee, but I'll have the satisfaction knowing that you'll never reach your goal.</i>  but before she could she burst out into an unbearable pain that was all consuming on her already cooked back by fire, now it was time for the electricity. Iberis knew well enough it was unlikely Renee was going to live unless she healed up and there didn't seem to be anything in the area to do so, and the book was gone, and it was clear she wasn't going to accept becoming a vampire.<br>
<br>
As she flailed around it was pretty clear Iberis was dying as she was starting to tap out not long after the flailing started, it wouldn't be long before total organ failure as the world around her started to become dark, probably not even realizing that the same was being done to Kalina in that instance, thankfully the pain wouldn't be all that long lived since the embrace of death was not far off. As long as they had been able to stop Renee's goal that's what mattered at the end right?<br>
<br>
By the time Hope's powers were being bolstered  and she was assaulting Renee, Iberis had already tapped out so she didn't see much of a anything that transpired there. Nor did she hear what the epic figures were saying who manifested when they spoke to one another.<br>
<br>
Iberis did finally regain her consciousness, not only that she didn't feel any pain..that must meant that she finally died and ended up whoever was right, right? Truthfully Iberis had just grown up assuming there was a possibility  of the Ryken Pantheon being real, so had she gone to some sort of underworld or purgatory? Iberis didn't feel it was likely she directly to parad- She paused for a moment as her eyes opened and widened, what were those things? She gripped her catalyst to support herself, feeling fully rejuvenated. Her whole face lit up in surprise when she heard those names..these were the people from all of the information she had seen.<br>
<br>
"R-Rosan and Ryke Bulvark..it's really both of you, your..majesties.."  She'd exclaimed awed, going down to a prostrated position in an effort to appear respectful even if she didn't know much about etiquette.    She then looked over around the room quickly trying to locate where Renee was if everyone was healed, but..she was wrong everyone was not healed, and Renee had blood coming out of her mouth and was seemingly unable to move..meaning right now if she stayed that way she couldn't cast magic. A deep sense of relief flooding over Iberis.<br>
<br>
Upon hearing they weren't there to bring Armageddon but were trying to prevent disaster, Iberis felt even more relieved, bu that had meant that she had almost mistakenly contributed to what they were trying to prevent by helping Renee.. She looked at Auldlich as he smiled, the familiar pair who didn't look so scary now, knowing what they had truly been trying to prevent all along. Knowing what she did now, Iberis would gladly take him as a master over Renee, particularly one who had been so loyal so long, one so just, yet so powerful at the same time, it was something Iberis felt like she couldn't aspire too..she just felt so impure.. Even so she gave him a bit of a smile back, now knowing that she had inadvertently made the right choice.<br>
<br>
And then the others fell in line from Vulm to Chaox...Iberis eventually stood up and looked to Hope who spoke, after the royalty said their piece. "Hope..it's fine, I know you did what we all had to do." Iberis then looked back to Kalina a bit more pained. Even then Kalina still was unwaveringly loyal to Renee and it really hurt to see, truthfully the pair of them..and then there was Scylla still on the ground seemingly not dead, perhaps just passed out, as she had been healed too..<br>
<br>
<br>
She then looked to the group of undead and Iberis spoke. "Auldlich..I just wanted to say I'm..sorry I didn't listen to you sooner, I..just..I really..I really wanted to believe that Renee wouldn't..do what you all told me they'd do, if I had just stopped her back there..it wouldn't have gotten so close.." Iberis spoke, sounding a bit emotionally charged with self blame, before she continued,<br>
<br>
"I..know it's probably hard to say if you can do what Hope and Kalina are asking of you, so please, if you can't..reverse what happened here, I just..want you to give me..give..us the strength to go on with out her, I need to be strong enough to do..what's right, and I feel like the path I'm on has been dangerous from the start now that I've seen it all play out..so  please..if you can't bring Renee back, ,just...put her out of her misery, she's already lost so much, I already know the real Renee  died a long time ago, and in her current state she's too dangerous to heal..she won't stop until she's destroyed us all if she's given that chance,  please, if you can't bring her back the way she was before all this without the risk of this happening again..I really don't want to have to deal with her myself..." Iberis said clutching her staff. Iberis mostly definitely sounded like she was pleading as some tears formed once more, looking down a bit as they fell using the staff for support.</div>

With Ryke holding the book, he looked to the now approaching group that was left, although with the approach a few of the guards belonging to the two moved forward in front of them with shields raised and spears pointed at them. Rosan raised a hand up which caused the guards to let their weapons and guards down. The massive figure that was Ryke stared at each of the three rejuvenated adventurers, he then nodded to Rosan who looked to him. She gave that eerie smile of hers before turning her head to Kalina, who would feel the gaze on her despite not seeing her eyes, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">Despite your older age for a vampire, you have not really matured much. Hopefully this experience will teach you. You cannot change someone like her. She is no longer your sister. She is a hungry beast that is looking only for power. Her ambition caused you all pain. Possible unrecoverable pain. Deep wounds don't heal, they scar. </span></i></b>" Rosan spoke looking to the vampire. " <i><span style="color: #eb6b56"><b>She cannot be changed. You only prolong the inevitable. Her destiny is to always become unhuman. A monster. She is destined to betray you. And not just you either. But anyone she comes into contact with who creates an accord with her. To alter her mind would only make her into a abomination that isn't who she truly is. A selfish act.</b></span></i> " She then raised a hand in which Choax, the massive cloaked Ratkin beast came forward, " <span style="color: #475577"><b>Yes, my queen?</b></span> " Chaox knelt down with her head hung lowly. "<b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"> You have the sight of a seer, dear Chaox. You can see the future. </span></i></b>" Rosan announced for everyone to hear. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">What do you see happening if we were to alter the witch's mind? </span></i></b>" Rosan asked the massive cloaked ratkin. She stood there for a couple of moments before she arose, "<b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> I see her only becoming the same person. She would eventually return to this state and remember this event. Her next attempt at godhood would most likely result in succession.</span></b> " Chaox stated. <br>
<br>
Rosan turned her head to Kalina, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">You will have to learn to grow without her. She intends to sacrifice the world for her own goals. Her obsession trumps all.</span></i></b> " Rosan stated, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">It's the way of the world. But something else. </span></i></b>" Rosan looking to Chaox who nodded looking to Kalina, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">You are something special.</span></i></b> " She pointed, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">You can change the outcome of events.</span></b> " The cloaked Ratkin pointed her big finger at her. " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">When we were in that world, formerly named Oll's Ruins. The outcome was supposed to be Marizopa getting her hands on the Codex and become Oll. The Outer God of destruction and ruin. Then a massive war would break out between the Ruinations of Oll and the current occupants of life in the Country of Ryke. Whether it came to her downfall or further ascension wasn't seen. But your attack on the book wasn't one that was expected and changed the outcome of it. Instead, it brought us to where we are currently are. </span></b>" Chaox rubbed her hands smiling, " <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">What you choose to do with this ability is up to you.</span></b> " <br>
<br>
Hope's desperate request did not change the minds of Rosan and Ryke, Ryke would speak this time, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">The events cannot be changed, you all must grow from this experience. Trying to change events will only change things that should not be changed. You would most likely have to catch the witch off guard and kill her. She is willing to die for this goal of hers. She had been thinking of deceiving you all far before it came to entering that world. What say she wouldn't kill you all then enter that realm, and the events play out the exact same? You cannot change the past and only embrace it. To live is to suffer. You all have been through much, that is true. But you would prolong the inevitable if not make things worse.</span></b> " Ryke's voice rumbled as he then pointed a boney finger at Kalina and Hope. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> You two have problems with your inner demons and thoughts, you will need to focus on those aspects to truly come to terms with who you are. Control those urges and thoughts. We will NOT change the past for you.</span></b> " Ryke stated coldly as he slammed his staff on the ground which created a loud echo through the room they all stood in. <br>
<br>
When Iberis bowed to the King and Queen, the two didn't react, but they did look at her as to acknowledge her. Auldlich would then turn to Iberis who began speaking to him, the bishop still had only three of his arms, having sacrificed one for Iberis back in that other realm. When she apologized, Auldlich chuckled, " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Young apprentice, it is not your fault for what happened. It was a hard thing to accept on a whim. She was like an older sister to you. It is understandable that you wouldn't listen. </span></b>" Auldlich stated just as her next plea was one the other two asked, Ryke and Rosan both looked to each other, most likely out of annoyance being asked the same thing again. But Iberis' next request for having the strength to get through this prompted Rosan to talk again, " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">Young witch in the making. No one can give strength without giving something in return. As it looks, you've already sacrificed flesh to garner more strength and knowledge. Inner strength comes from within, it is how you handle and deal with these events is what will mold you into the person you will become. You are young but impressionable. You've sacrificed a part of yourself already at your young age. Careful you do not walk the same path as your former master has.</span></i></b> " Rosan placed her hand underneath her own chin while still wearing that eerie smile on her lips. <br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"><i>As for putting down your friend. That we will not do. That is something you will have to do. Either together or as individuals is up to you. We have intervened enough and no longer will. It is your destiny to do that, not the destiny of us to put down a rabid dog.</i></span></b> " Rosan continued. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">Otherwise, she will rise again like she is trying currently. </span></i></b>" Rosan noted looking at Renee's direction. They would see the shallow figure of Renee slowly pushing herself up with her arms, she was still bleeding from her mouth, her eyes were wide and deep, full of hatred, pain and rage. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I... I'll kill you all.</span></b> " Renee quietly said as it was hard to speak, she was covered in her own blood. She was slowly regenerating which was causing her body to repair slowly but surely. If they did not kill her, she would most likely attack them all again. She looked desperate as she began to crawl herself towards the group, her catalyst on the ground between the two groups.<br>
<br>
Around this time Scylla would begin to awake, she would see the undead before and exclaim loudly, " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">Oh my god! Are we all dead! </span></b>" She cried with tears in her eyes, although seeing the others were all up, she got up and saw that Renee was laying on the ground trying to crawl towards them. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">What... What happened? </span></b>" She asked.</div>

True to her name, Hope's words sparked some hope in Kalina. She wasn't the only one thinking that this was doomed to end so dramatically. Hope was also planning to undo this all! Surely, that meant she wasn't as desperate for thinking it as she thought she was! Then Iberis tempered that feeling almost instantly, mentioning the fact it might not be possible and instead just asking for strength to go on. Asking for them to 'put Renee out of her misery' like it was some sort of a dog. A hint of anger flared up, but died down upon her seeing Iberis' emotional state. These weren't words spoken out of malice.<br>
<br>
That's when she heard the speeches of the Royalty themselves. She didn't want to believe Rosan. However, it was difficult to fully ignore the words spoken by someone so powerful and ancient. Even though she wanted to deny Rosan's words with every fiber of her being, she couldn't. Her [Critical] nature only taught her how she herself had been the one at fault. She was the one who'd never realised just how deeply she'd fallen into denial, wasn't she? Still, even then, she wanted to think differently. She desperately wished to cling on to whatever bond she had always believed in.<br>
<br>
Chaox words were like fire flooding through her veins. They hurt. She realised why. She accepted them to be the truth. That's why they hurt so much. She'd always known Renee to be obsessive, but somehow had always believed their bond topped this obsession. Maybe there was a time here it had, but if there had ever been such a time, it was gone now, wasn't it? <br>
<br>
She grimaced at being told she was something special. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Special? It's difficult to feel like such, when the one I'd want to save most of all seems doomed regardless of what I do.”</b></span> Her voice was shaky, almost sarcastic, but at the same time, there was a hint of acceptance in it. Ryke saying that these events could not be changed made it feel even more ironic. She wasn't surprised when she got told they wouldn't change the past for them, as everything had been leading up to such a statement.<br>
<br>
Then, the real hurt arrived. They told them to kill Renee. As if on cue, she could hear her sister speak. Finally, Kalina took a good look a sister. One not blinded by delusional hope and dreams. One grounded in bitter, painful, heart-wrenching realism. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“They're... they're right about you, aren't they?”</b></span> She asked, although she already knew the answer. Although her hand was shaking, she grasped onto her rapier. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Say, Renee. Do you remember? More ten years ago. I'd just awoken, with no clue who I was, what I was where I was... nothing. Trying to feed on animals that only made me vomit my guts out. Your blood was what saved me from starving back then.”</b></span><br>
<br>
A weak smile showed on her face. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Enough blood to say we were practically blood-related. Sisters, right?”</b></span> She gritted her teeth, as her grip on her rapier tightened. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“That wasn't a lie, as it? That was real. So then, when? When did it become a lie?”</b></span> <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“When we met again in <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-the-dead-awake-at-night-blue-viscera-occult-questline.505572/page-2#post-11205377" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-the-dead-awake-at-night-blue-viscera-occult-questline.505572%2Fpage-2%23post-11205377&amp;hash=5d942515e4d3206843b4f53e06ad0304">Kanato</a>, after ten long years of barely knowing how you were doing due to your master having forced us to split up, was that real? Or was that already a lie? You were happy and excited, weren't you? You even bragged about your growing magic. I really believed that the bond we formed that day had somehow survived all those awful years without you.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“Then, was it when you <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-the-dead-awake-at-night-part-2-blue-viscera-occult.508649/page-7#post-11366669" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-the-dead-awake-at-night-part-2-blue-viscera-occult.508649%2Fpage-7%23post-11366669&amp;hash=04b793ef92044e518124461e12955e55">lied about Dahak</a>? My reason told me that you lied to me to save him, but my emotions didn't want to make me believe it. Instead, I chose to silence my reason and believed you. That's when you also <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-the-dead-awake-at-night-part-2-blue-viscera-occult.508649/page-7#post-11369693" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-the-dead-awake-at-night-part-2-blue-viscera-occult.508649%2Fpage-7%23post-11369693&amp;hash=8a60467bb44cc4ce67eda6dd8372dfa3">took that book</a>, didn't you? Was it the book that made you lie about Dahak, or was it your lies that allowed you to obtain that book? Either way, that was it, wasn't it? That's when this awful course was set upon...”</b></span><br>
<br>
She was standing close to Renee now, close enough to strike. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I tried reaching out to you. Writing you letters, getting you to reply. I tried finding time to talk with you. All I wanted was for my sister to be my sister... When I found you, in whatever awful realm we just left, <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-tutoring-session-with-the-dead.518655/page-3#post-11521093" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-tutoring-session-with-the-dead.518655%2Fpage-3%23post-11521093&amp;hash=36d0eb2184600d5e04a484777edcb674">I chose to believe you once more</a>. It's stupid, isn't it? I should have known. You weren't concerned about when we should talk things out. It's ironic, you telling me how you'd put down your life for them and expected the same in return. Then you lied about Dahak, didn't you? Would things have been different if I confronted you, rather than choosing to believe you?”</b></span><br>
<br>
She held up her rapier, angling it above Renee. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Just one sign. Just one sign of you genuinely caring about our sisterly bond. That'd have been enough for me to give this undead life for you. Yet instead, all you can see is rage, a desire to kill us. I'm sorry Renee... I'm sorry. I can't keep fooling myself. I've been fighting the monster in me, constantly, through desolate Marshes, when confronted with battle, undead, alluring blood, I kept trying to fight it. I only once lost myself to it fully, when I bit Hope. I still feel the pain of that failure. Yet you don't feel such a pain, do you? You've surrendered yourself fully to the monster in you. It's consumed anything I knew about you.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Tears where streaming down Kalina's cheeks. She didn't think she could cry in this undead body. Was it even tears? They were coloured red. She was crying bloodied tears. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“This isn't my first life. I've awoken in a new life once before. Perhaps some deity will hear my prayers and give you a similar chance. A chance to live again, without falling into the same mistakes. If you must hate me in that life, for what I'm about to do to this one, then I'll accept it fully.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
With trembling hands and tears of blood streaming down her cheeks, she plunged the rapier down, directly into Renee's heart. Giving it all the power she had in her, to ensure it was a quick and painless death. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Farewell... sister.”</b></span> She said, as her rapier cleaved the body. For a while, she stood there, as if her mind had stopped working. Then, she took a few steps back, and before she knew it, a deafening scream escaped her lips. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“AAAHRHG!!!”</b></span> All this emotion, this turmoil, this conflict. It was so much. So much to bare. So much to comprehend. Why? The first person she met, why did it turn out like this? Why? What had she done? What had to be done? It made no sense. No sense at all. What did she even have left here? Was she truly alone now? Just like those years she'd spent wandering alone after having met Renee? Just like her previous life, crippled, useless, locked away in a room due to her mangled body?</div>

Hope's shoulders slumped in defeat, Ryke's words feeling like nails scraping against her skin. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"B-but, you could... We can..."</span></b> She tried thinking of <i>anything</i> to counter his harsh truths, but nothing came. It couldn't have been denied; Ryke was right. Nothing would have changed. Nothing she'd say would've ever pacified Renee. Those terrible desires would still have manifested. Everyone would still be unhappy. The thought made her ball her fists in indignance, but soon, a shallow wave of painful acceptance washed over her. She'd have to move on. But that meant dealing with one more inevitability. Hope glanced at Renee and Kalina, remembering Rosan's last statement. She shifted her gaze before tears could start pouring out of her eyes. It didn't matter if this was inescapable. Looking away was the one thing she c<i>ould </i>control.<br>
<br>
Hope pretended not to hear it. The final goodbyes, the rapier piercing flesh, Kalina's haunting scream, all just figments of her imagination. It was too unfair to be true. Kalina didn't deserve this torture. She was only trying to keep everyone safe -- <i>happy</i>. This couldn't be how this ends for her, Hope thought, watching Kalina with eyes full of remorse. No, she'd have to <i>try</i> something. It was the least she could do. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"Kalina..." </span></b>Hope approached the vampire, wiping the bloodied tears from her face with the soft fabric of her cloak, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"I-I'm so sorry..." </span></b>She didn't know what to say next. But something inside told her exactly <i>what</i> to do next. Hope outstretched her arms and brought Kalina into a tight, warm hug. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"You're not alone," </b></span>She whispered, pulling her in tighter, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"<i>I'm</i> here for you. <i>We're</i> here for you. Never <i>ever</i> forget that," </b></span><br>
<br>
Hope peered over Kalina's shoulder to Iberis and Scylla. There was work to be done there, too. After giving Kalina a thoughtful nod and turning her away from Renee, Hope walked over to them. Her eyes shrunk in sadness as Scylla came to, wondering what'd happened. She didn't even know. That wasn't fair, too. <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Renee is..." </b></span>The sentence seemed unfinishable. It was all too quick - too <i>final</i>. <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"I-It was never your fault. It was never <i>any</i> of our faults." </span></b>Hope said, bringing both Iberis and Scylla into an embrace, <span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"I'll be here. We'll get through this <i>together</i>." </b></span>Finally, she looked to Iberis, <b><span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">"And I'll be with <i>you</i> through every step. It's what she would've wanted." </span></b><br>
<br>
She wished she knew what to do next. Everything had gone by so quickly, so violently, there wasn't a moment to make plans. No time to figure out where to go.<br>
<br>
But maybe she didn't have to go anywhere. Maybe, she was better off with them. It didn't sound so bad. <br>
<br>
It sounded absolutely <i>perfect.</i><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"><b>"Come on. We should go," </b></span></div>

 <br>
It sounded like these people from a time long gone had a lot of insight to bestow upon them. Iberis did listen to what they had to say to Hope and Kalina. Unfortunately Iberis could tell what Rosan spoke rang true, there wasn't anyway they could realistically keep Renee from reaching this point again it sounded like, even if they tampered with her memory she would desire to become all powerful yet again, and would probably try to become a god herself as Marizopa had done. The weight of this revelation was crushing for her. It even seemed that Kalina had let things sink in and understood that they could only delay the enviable with Renee at best.<br>
From the sounds of things Kalina had inadvertely saved them all by attacking the book, it just hadn't had the impact she was hoping for, if only destroying the book would have brought Renee back to her senses and she could have been content becoming a vampire, but there they were. <br>
<br>
A bit of relief fell upon Iberis's face when Auldlich told her that that she wasn't to blame. It did feel strange in a way taking on another mentor sort so soon after Renee, but ultimately the sacrifice had been worth it, it meant that Iberis had been able to help stop Renee, if he hadn't intervened and Iberis didn't learn all she did then there may have been a completely different outcome with Iberis siding with Renee until the end where she more than likely got what she wanted and  betrayed them.<br>
<br>
"Thank you Auldlich, I'll never forget you, and now knowing all that you've sacrificed, you and your allies, I'm honored to have a part of  ou with me, and I can say truthfully that I am proud to call you my master. I'll do my best to do what's right with what you've bestowed upon me." <br>
<br>
Referring to the grafting process that had taken place and Auldlich's deeds which had been revealed to have a noble intention behind them to save the realm from destruction, as well as keeping his loyalty to the rightful leaders at the time. Iberis tried to keep her words together as she said this, since her emotions were running high, but she meant every word she said now. She felt grateful for this unfortunate group.<br>
<br>
Despite the potential annoyance Iberis's repetition of questioning may have caused, it was difficult to blame she just wanted things to be the way they were before, and now it had been confirmed that wasn't possible to last long.<br>
<br>
She was immediately at attention when Rosan started to speak to her, however. Rosan's words spoke true. Iberis saw the Eerie smile and  it did not put her at ease, it sounded more like warning of what was to come if she followed in Renee's footsteps. Iberis had now seen first hand what can happen to someone who pursues something at the cost of everything else, she saw the pain and suffering it caused for all of those around, she couldn't possibly do the same now could she? She needed further guidance and to get her priorities straight, she could always search out more power but too much power showed how easily people could be corrupted.<br>
<br>
Iberis's face shifted to a conflicted one yet again when she heard Rosan tell them that they weren't willing to kill Renee. Iberis gripped her staff, she had come this far, and she wasn't expecting anyone else in the group to want to go through and do it, so she started mentally preparing herself as she looked over at Renee who was moving slowly trying to heal up so that she could come and kill them.<br>
<br>
"Thank you, I now understand your majesty, I know what I need to do." <br>
<br>
She said to Rosan with another bow to the best of her ability. But just then Kalina grip her sword, and start speaking to Renee, not sounding the most well off, Iberis's face turned to one of concern a she looked over at her vampire friend, hearing her give her speech. As she heard her speak, Iberis felt more tears start to fall down her face as she heard Kalina recall her time with Renee, the words hit home because it felt very much like what Iberis had been trying to do this whole time, give Renee a chance to prove that it wasn't true and that she did actually care about them more than achieving godhood as she called it, but that never came, she could only imagine the pain that Kalina was going through now since she had known Renee much longer than Iberis. She watched her strike Renee down right in the vital spot. The spot that Iberis wished she had been accurate enough to pierce through earlier in the fight, to avoid some of this, but it was over.<br>
<br>
The tears just wouldn't stop, even as exhausted and dehydrated as she was in that moment it was a sorrow Iberis had not felt before. "I'm..sorry Scylla Hope's right, It, had to be done, Renee isn't coming back." She managed to get out, but then she felt Hope's embrace and that's when Iberis's ability to keep her composure started to break immediately as she simply began to sob, and hugged Hope and Scylla tightly. Part of it was because of how overwhelmed she was because of Renee's death and the other part was because Hope was telling her that she'd stay with her.<br>
<br>
"Thank.. you..Hope." She forced out, maintaining the as strong a hug she could muster for a bit, before going more lax. As she pulled back and gave Hope a nod of confirmation that they should get going. Still feeling a shock from everything that had transpired as she gradually became more mellow. They were going to work through this together, be there for one another and become stronger as a result, was the belief that Iberis knew she had to hold onto now.</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1679890280517-png.1076100/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1013/1013230-84c5b5886b2e5501532048812b441614.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1679890280517.png" title="1679890280517.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
The slowly regenerating witch slowly kept crawling towards her catalyst that laid on the ground, her eyes fixated on it that she didn't even see Kalina making her way over. <i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Grab your book, use it to burn all of these fools to a crisp, turn them to dust and ash! </span></i>She thought to herself, ignoring the pain that was impeding her and that was slowing her down. She wasn't even close to her journal, but she saw her goal here, she saw that the King and Queen had repaired the Codex, that part was done! She could destroy them and take it! Easy! But then her willful arrogance would begin to decline once she realized Kalina was already closing in on her, she looked up at her sister, into her eyes. Renee's glowing that same dark red that held such an evilness in it. Her own face was plastered with pain from her broken body. Renee figured Kalina was here to help her, she had so foolhardy it wouldn't surprise Renee that Kalina would stick with her and was here to get her up. Renee was going to say something when Kalina began speaking, asking if they were right about her. Renee said nothing, she knew now that even Kalina had now seen Renee for who she is. <br>
<br>
The broken witch watched Kalina with shaky hands grasp her rapier and begin to reminisce on their previous lives, Renee stayed silent as she spoke her speech. But getting onto their sisterhood, Renee's eyes may have softened, or maybe it was a silent anger. It was hard to say with how stressful this situation has become, with this difficult weight that Kalina had now on her shoulders. But when did this sisterhood die.... Yes. It died at Kananto. Renee had realized, when Kalina spoke with that bitch of a bug and when Renee acquired that book that was now in the hands of the two old Rulers. When she allowed Dahak to live only for him to continue his mayhem elsewhere. She smiled just a little realizing that she was going to die, going to be killed at the hands of Kalina, her former sister. The letter she had acquired from Kalina from long ago she had read, but when she did... She felt that spark of happiness. But it wasn't as strong and powerful previously. And day after day that bond would erode further. Renee had sent her own letter out but... Did she even get it? She couldn't even remember if she had actually sent it out. Renee began to remember now, that letter she had failed to send out, it was a cry for help. Maybe it still had the last shred of her humanity still in that letter. <br>
<br>
Renee saw Kalina raise her rapier ready to strike her down. Would she beg? Would she cry? Would she spout hateful remarks and words? Renee only took a deep breath and looked up at her sister with a stoic expression. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> I didn't want to be a corpse. </span></b>" Renee spoke finally. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I didn't want to be a vampire. I wanted to achieve immortality. But then I saw the powers the book held, it was my intention to seek out any sort of knowledge that would be beneficial in my goals and journey.</span></b> " Renee stared at Kalina, there was a calmness over Renee. Which was weird as she would realize that if she were to die, she would become reincarnated once more in most likely another world. Good, this was world was ruled by an uncaring stupid tyrant, she remembers meeting him. One she would be glad to be out of finally. "<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> I told you ten years ago. I would sacrifice anything and everything for that goal.</span></b> " Renee stated. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">And I meant that statement. And I would do all this again.</span></b> " Renee's eyes darkened again as her voice grew dark, there was no shed of regret in either of them. She made sure to look at her killed as Kalina finally made her final strike, stabbing Renee through her heart as her glowing eyes widen and Renee let out a quiet gasp of pain as she slowly fell back to the ground and her eyes began to leave Kalina's, turning back to their original silver color as she let out one final breath before finally giving in, her body grew still as her heart gave its final beat. Renee's vision would darken as the same darkness took her with her mind becoming encapsulated with void.<br>
<br>
With Renee's final breath taken, and a shrill cry of regret filled the room. Ryke and Rosan stared at the scene, they would then look at each other and nod, no words needed to be spoken, this was up to the rest of them and how they would deal with this pain. It was time to go for them. The two both held a hand out and the Codex flipped through pages. Quickly as in reality itself there appeared a cut before it opened up the void and created a doorway for them. Scylla had tears streaming down her cheeks with watching her master finally die. But she would feel a hand on her shoulder as Ryke, Rosan then the rest of the Blue Viscera Occult along with their legion would begin to walk into the portal to wherever their next destination was at. " <b><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><i>Come and join us, Scylla. There is much for you to see and do if you will it. </i></span></b>" The bishop spoke with a softness. Scylla stared at the scene before her then looked to Auldlich and nodded. She looked at the group before her, their coven had been broken finally. Scylla gave a smile to the remaining few of them, she would walk with the legion while thinking back on better times. When the entirety of the Blue Viscera Occult had disappeared into the portal. It would close leaving them all alone. <br>

The remaining three would reach the surface of the world, reaching the dawn of a new day. Like the rest of this world, time would go on as time holds no remorse for anyone that passes. The dawn of a new day. The only thing the three survivors of this entire ordeal would have to be continue living life however they could. <br>

<b>OOC:</b> Thank you all for joining me on this adventure, I hope you all very much enjoyed this storyline that's been happening since the beginning of IH. It was nice to see all these characters go through all these hoops and loops, having Renee basically put all of the characters through hell for her own gain. Then having her meet her own end at the hands of really everyone as they all did their part to take her down. A good ole traumatizing time for everyone. Hard times make hard people. Life is Suffering. Thank you all once again!<br>

An end of something long time in the making. Par for the course, it felt like there was a lot crammed into one rp and the combats/abilities seemed to be running in rule's light mode. But also like the others, the dark adventure did a lot of building with some twists to give the rp some real stakes. Felt pretty deep. Perhaps a bit loose on the renown to establish some of the lore though. <br>
<br>
<b>Aftermath</b><br>
Feels like any long standing impact has be thwarted this time around.<br>
