I am We. We are Thee.

From Caelwiki

<>Ambiance:<> A darkened shadow overtakes the abode and the edges of limbo inch in rapidly

<>Ambiance:<> A figure arises within the shadow and emerges from it

* Dyn checks both his sleeves. No pipes are in evidence.

* Jeice looks up from the material he had been reading.

* Legault looks about, "... Something's coming."

* Iago looks up from his book

<Deathbringer> It starts.

* Dyn blows a much larger bubble.

* Damsel looks up from her own reading with a small amount of curiousity.

* Figure I am we.

* Figure We are thee.

* Iago puts down his book and listens

* Figure I am the harbringer

* Damsel bows her head respectfully to the harbringer.

* Iago follows the example and does the same

* Dyn locates the other bubble-pipe. Unfortunately, there seems to be no soap in it.

* Figure I am we.

* Deathbringer bows low to the harbringer.

* Figure We are thee.

* Legault bows to harbringer.

* Figure I am the harbringer

* Figure I am the edge of time that cuts

* Figure So bears history to the fruition of my words

* Figure Mark you well for the reckoning which has begun

* Damsel feels a small chill run down the length of her spine, though she stops herself from shivering visably.

* Dyn has quit IRC (Vanished: And Lo, the mighty (or so was thought) Dyn slept again, dreaming of yestermorrow. )

* Iago sits back, contempletive

<>Ambiance:<> A shadowy window appears with in the abode

* Damsel eyes it with wary intent.

<>Ambiance:<> The shadow looks upon a dark coastal plain bathed in perpetual twilight a large structure stands within its lights glowing with sidereal fire

* Jeice looks at the window inquisitively.

* Legault observes the window intently.

<Figure> (simply) Lore

* Jeice frowns and looks closer at the structure.

* Iago 's attention is still turned to the figure, inquisitively

* Nick looks out the window "Amazing..."

* Zeltan has joined #darkabode

* Reality sets mode: +v Zeltan

<Figure> (simply) Watch

* Iago turns his attention to the window

* Damsel barely nods her head as she gazes at the window.

* Giliara enters and stands at the edge of the scene he is accompanied by others

* Deathbringer watches the window.

<Zeltan> ((what is happening outside?))

<Legault> ((Get in. Quick. >.>))

<Giliara> I have always loved you. Even in the Darkest times.

<Giliara> Brother, please help us.

* Zeltan notices something and quickly enter the safety of the. abode

* Damsel speaks not much above a whisper, "Giliara... that means Diviara..."

* Iago feels a deep sorrowful pang in his stomach

<Diviara> (expression contorted) Again this love. What good comes of it....

* Legault looks down, "... No..."

* Deathbringer shakes his head.

<Zeltan> Diviara...

<Giliara> I know you loved. You loved Amilara. You loved your wife before they did what they did framing you.

* Mobuis|AFK has quit IRC (Ping timeout )

<Diviara> (angered) Yes! and what good did it bring me?! My son now believes I killed his mother myself.

* Amilara lands in the abode and stares at the window.

<Legault> Welcome...

<Amilara> What is this...

* Damsel tugs at her hair with a worried expression, glancing at Amilara and the window in turn.

<Figure> (simply) Watch

* Iago stands and bows to Amilara, "Hello"

<Giliara> I have always loved you. Even in the Darkest times.

* Jeice remains silent.

<Diviara> (expression contorted) Again this love. What good comes of it....

<Giliara> I know you loved. You loved Amilara. You loved your wife before they did what they did framing you.

<Diviara> (angered) Yes! and what good did it bring me?! My son now believes I killed his mother myself.

<Diviara> (expression contorted) Again this love. What good comes of it....

* Damsel turns to watch Amilara, already having witnessed this event.

* Nick watches in awe.

* Amilara looks crestfallen

<Zeltan> What is this?

<Amilara> Father....

<Legault> It's Lore...

* Zeltan frowns slightly.

* Eitak_Razal walks out of the back room and lets out a shreik

<Eitak_Razal> Whats Diviaria doing here!

<Zeltan> Hush..

<Legault> It's an image... Only Amilara is here.

* Iago returns to his seat and quietly watches the events unfold

* LordBarrius fades in from the shadows to observe the window for himself, keeping as quiet as possible so as not to draw attention to himself.

* Eitak_Razal sighs

<Diviara> You fools. Even if I did cooperate with you it would not be done. The end has only begun. Come then - come to the Fortress. TAKE it if you DARE!

<Zeltan> From what I know, it seems to be repeating itself.

* Damsel doesn't bother to look away from Amilara at the sound of Eitak's reaction. Instead she studies the expression on his face a moment before turning back to the window.

<Harbringer> I am the edge of time that cuts

* Durroth sighs

<Harbringer> An equivalency is demanded... and it shall be paid

* Damsel again feels that odd chill, but shakes it off with a small toss of her head.

<>Ambiance:<> The window shifts frenetically through the scene of a massive battle leading to the very edge of the building

* Eitak_Razal sits runs to the kitchen and grabs popcorn then runs back and stares at the window.

<Legault> ((...))

<Zeltan> ((...))

<Eitak_Razal> ((:<_:< not funny?))

* Zeltan 's gaze never leaves the window.

* Nick taps Eitak on the head and shakes his head disapprovingly.

<Legault> ((In this case, no.))

* Ras has quit IRC (Exterminated: )

<Legault> ... Hmm... The Necromancer Fortress...

<Diviara> You want the last peice of the orb? Then I will see you at the steps of the fortress

<Giliara> The end is near,

<Zeltan> Is this a replay or.....

<Eitak_Razal> This seems like a replay... or a live feed of the war

<Voice> (offscreen) Something feels funny....

* Damsel frowns, her voice still respectfully soft. "I don't think we've heard of these events yet..."

<Giliara> It is nothing. Let's go.

<Durroth> news doesnt travel that fast these days, does it

<Legault> ... I heard rumours it ended.

<Eitak_Razal> ((Why do i have a feeling this is the AQ cut scene..))

<Zeltan> Let's Hope that what we've heard is untrue.

<Iago> (( it is ))

* Damsel continues anxiously playing with her hair.

<Nick> ((Just slightly before...))

<Eitak_Razal> ((Ah))

<>Ambiance:<> A large spider like entity launches itself at diviara and there is a puruant battle with the offscreen figure. Focus however turns to another Brilhado blond hair and blue eyes enhanching its angelic visage

* Zeltan stands in his purple robe, cross-armed as he watches the event unfold.

<>Ambiance:<> The brilhado circles arround the fighting party with stealthy determination and singularity

* Iago stares intently at the window, unable to avert his gaze

* Eitak_Razal winces as she feels the time engery given off by the window.

<Brilhado> Cold and Spear be my guide. Through them I shall take this traitor

* Zeltan mouths silently. "No..."

<Legault> ... No.

* Damsel stiffens in her seat.

* Deathbringer frowns.

<Harbringer> The saved shall pay the price

* Iago feels a deep sadness starting to grow in himself

* Damsel mutters to herself. "No, no, no... the equivalancy...."

<Durroth> damnit

* Brilhado drives his spear into Giliara's back

* Jeice clenches his fists.

* Nick looks away "we did that...only to let him...oh gods no..."

* Iago 's jaw tightens

* Zeltan clenches his fists.

* Damsel turns away from the window, pounding a fist into the cushion of the couch.

<Legault> ... He...

* LordBarrius frowns ever so slightly. "How....cowardly...."

* Eitak_Razal drops her popcorn, sending it spilling everywhere.

* Durroth warps and writhes for a minute, as his form breaks up in an overflow of anger and sorrow

* Deathbringer sighs, clenching both fists, mumbling to himself.

<Zeltan> It's Giliara...he paid the price...

<Diviara> his face a distorted grimace of rage and dispair "Giliara! NO!"

* Eitak_Razal 's eyes then start to glow red, a sign she is fighting her inner self to keep from transforming

* Damsel turns back to the window, tears flowing freely down her cheeks.

* Nick sits back and puts his hands over his ears.

<Legault> ... Huh.

<Giliara> (Gurgling slightly) Brother.

<Giliara> Brother please

* Durroth violently shifts, changing from shape to shape as anger boils within him

* Zeltan fights back his tears.

<Giliara> Our Lord Welcomes you.

<Giliara> You only need accept your fate...

* Deathbringer 's eyes revert to their normal hellfire/ netherfire reflection. Deathbringer quickly covering his face with his hood.

* Iago remains solidly stony faced, anger and sadness in his eyes

* Eitak_Razal has mix of booth sadness and anger on her face, as there are tears running down her face, and her eyes are glowing red.

<Diviara> nearly simultaneous: Giliara save your strength

* Damsel lifts her feet off the floor, drawing her knees up to her chest and hugging them to her, her eyes still fixed on the scene playing out before them.

<>Ambiance:<> Diviara whispers something very softly

<>Ambiance:<> A shower of lavender down begins to fall in the abode

* Giliara dies

<Durroth> Giliara...

* Damsel looks up at the ceiling and begins to sob softly.

* Iago shuts his eyes

* Nick keeps his eyes closed and his hands over his ears.

* Zeltan closes his eyes, letting tears flow down his face.

* Deathbringer crosses his arms tilting his head downwards.

* Legault looks down, "He died for our cause... Why him...?"

<Jeice> He deserved better than death from a thug like that.

* Eitak_Razal shouts "no!" has her control starts to slip and she begins to transfrom into her "Other" state.

* LordBarrius sighs and shakes his head.

* Iago says a brief prayer under his breath and opens his eyes, breathing deeply

<Diviara> Brilhado! You have slain my brother! If any had the right to slay him it was I.

* Durroth gives up, for the first time in ages, he returns to his true form, overcome by grief

<Amilara> Brother.... he said brother

<Amilara> Oh my uncle

* Deathbringer continues to mumble.

* Durroth quickly pulls a cloak over himself

<Brilhado> I notice you no longer pretend he was your nephew Lord Diviara

* Nick lowers his hands and watches the window again.

* Legault sighs, a trickle of tears falling from his eyes.

* Deathbringer looks back up.

<Diviara> (coldly but full of menace and purpose) I.... no longer pretend many things

* Damsel uses the heal of one hand to help stem the flow of tears as she looks back.

<Diviara> slams his blade down cleaving the brilhado's neck from his head

* Eitak_Razal takes two steps backwards, her spilt popcorn crunching under her feet. She presses her self angenst the wall behind her try to keep her dark side in check/

* Zeltan opens his eyes slowly.

<Diviara> tosses a small sphere at the figure offscreen

* Deathbringer nods to himself, mumbling.

* LordBarrius continues watching the window, a slight smile creeping onto his face at the act of retribution.

<Damsel> "Diviara..."

<Eitak_Razal> ((THe Player's charcter :<_:<))

* Diviara I suggest.

* Legault looks up at window, "... No more tears."

* Nick sits back and remains watching.

* Diviara That we fight our way out now. As a general my turning against The'galin will not be taken kindly

* Diviara at all

* Figure (hollow) About time!

<>Ambiance:<> The window shatters

* Iago sits back into his chair and pulls up his hood

* Zeltan shakes his head sadly. "At least we have an ally in Diviara."

* Eitak_Razal cringes as the time engery pent up in the window is released

<Harbringer> I am the edge of time that cuts

<Eitak_Razal> I don't trust him..

<Harbringer> The saved has born the price of salvation

<darkchris76> I trust Diviara, I mean it was his brother

<Harbringer> The mirror has paid

* Nick gets up and kneels near Eitak "Hey...calm down..."

* Damsel swallows with obvious difficulty. "So he has, indeed, Harbringer."

<Durroth> : *quietly: * giliara

<Durroth> rest well

* Deathbringer continues mumbling.

<Harbringer> The accounting has begun

* Zeltan nods grimly.

<Legault> He's free...

* Eitak_Razal notices that the window is the same one she broke trying to create a magic window a few weeks ago

* Durroth pulls his hooded cloak tighter around him, concealing his true form

<Harbringer> Free?

<Harbringer> Does his death bring freedom? Or enslavement anew.

<Deathbringer> Depends.

<Eitak_Razal> Bring him back...

* Damsel shivers visibly at this comment.

* Eitak_Razal is talking to her self

<Legault> We'll make sure it means freedom.

<Durroth> Eitak

* LordOuranos has joined #darkabode

<Nick> No...Eitak...listen...Just calm down...Everything's okay...

<LordOuranos> Hello

* darkchris76 Pulls up hood as he shivers at the comments of others

<Echo> Cold and Spear be my guide. Through them I shall take this traitor

* LordOuranos waves to the others!

<Zeltan> ((...))

* Eitak_Razal looks at LordOuranos, her eyes are glowing red...

* Durroth glares daggers at lordouranos

* LordOuranos feels unwelcomed

<Jeice> The Cold... could Gilliara be taken in undeath?

* Deathbringer stops mumbling, but leaves his hood on, shrouding his face.

<LordOuranos> Umm... is this a bad time?

* Damsel speaks softly. "This was our fault..."

* Eitak_Razal nods

<Harbringer> Nay. He died so that he might not live.

<Eitak_Razal> ((do LO not damsel))

* Zeltan glances at LordOuranos briefly before turning his attention to the Harbinger.

<Eitak_Razal> ((To

<Harbringer> This is the province of light and life.

<Harbringer> This is the province of dark and death

<Durroth> Ouranos, I suggest you make yourself inconspicuous before someone decides to lash out

* Damsel nods her head. "I understand."

<Eitak_Razal> How can it be both?!?

* LordOuranos is super inconspicuous!

<Harbringer> Freedom is what you make of it.

<Durroth> How can it not?

* Iago looks to the Harbringer, "Does it have to happen this way, does he need to be the one to pay?"

<Zeltan> The line blurs, Eitak.

<Durroth> where there is life, death always follows

<Harbringer> Does the Communicant of the Lord of Light bear his burden for naught

<Durroth> where there is light, so are there shadows

<Harbringer> Has the realization of his fears for all of his adult life meant anything?

* Nick looks at Iago "Whats been done is done...We shouldn't try to change anything about the past anymore..."

<Harbringer> What is is. What shall be shall be.

<Iago> So, this event has necessarily transpired?

* Deathbringer nods.

<Harbringer> History already has recorded these events.

<Durroth> how long ago?

<Harbringer> By the time of my appearance he died nearly a day ago

* PhoenixDK has joined #darkabode

* Iago nods to the Harbringer, "I was unaware of the timeframe, thank you"

<Legault> Huh, those rumours were right.

* Nick looks at Eitak "Oi, you okay?"

* Eitak_Razal shakes her head

<Durroth> DAMN YOUR RUMORS

<Eitak_Razal> ((PDK was in here?O))

<Legault> They're not rumours anymore, sorry.

<Durroth> giliara is dead, what does it matter if the rumors were right or wrong

<Eitak_Razal> Then we will find a way to bring him back

<Durroth> no

<Zeltan> No.

<Iago> No

<Durroth> we will not

<Harbringer> At what price.

* Iago glares at Eitak

<Zeltan> Messing with the timeline will backfire.

<Legault> We've screwed time up enough.

<Nick> No...Eitak, He's not going to come back...

<Harbringer> How many more die for that quest of futility

<Legault> Giliara wouldn't want us to, I'm sure.

<Harbringer> His death is known. His death is neccesary,

<darkchris76> Im sure of it as well

<Eitak_Razal> We'll do the same as we did for Rinoa Shadowgale!

<Amilara> his death freed my father

<Eitak_Razal> ((or what ever her name was >_>))

<Eitak_Razal> I

* Amilara breaks down into sobbing

<Iago> There is a difference between what is right and correct... it is time to do what is correct

<Amilara> Oh god uncle

<Zeltan> Amilara..

* Deathbringer looks down again.

* Iago stops talking out of reverance and respect

* darkchris76 looks down

* Eitak_Razal holds her hand out and her sythe starts to form.

* Damsel hesitates a moment before standing and approaching Amilara, a new stream of tears tracing paths down her face.

<Amilara> Nobility means nothing

<Durroth> we will do no such thing Eitak

<Zeltan> Stay strong for that is what we must do.

* Amilara flies off

<Eitak_Razal> Then I will do i alone!

* Nick looks sad "Eitak...he's not..he's not going to come back."

<Durroth> EITAK! Snap out of it!

* LordBarrius frowns anew. "Diviara is freed by Giliara's death....one life for another. It is hard to decide whether such is a good or bad thing present...."

* Zeltan watches the flying form of Amilara.

<Zeltan> One for one indeed.

* Damsel watches Amilara fly away, a look of expression of uncertainty upon her face.

<Deathbringer> An eye for an eye...

<Eitak_Razal> Who's to say one life is worth antoher

* Iago glares harder at Eitak, "Please, stop now... it is a time for mourning"

<Harbringer> One for one. By my count you are one ahead.

<Iago> It is the time to do what is correct, the price has been paid

<Harbringer> Fortunately reality is more literal then I am

<Deathbringer> Quite.

* Damsel glances sharply back at the Harbringer. "You mean Talo..."

<darkchris76> I agree...

* Nick puts his hand on Eitak's shoulder "Enough, foolish girl...He's gone and he's not going to come back, whether we will him to or not, What's done is done..."

<Legault> ... Amilara.

<Harbringer> Thank you for reminding me.. Two ahead

<Harbringer> The jury is still out on Talo

* Damsel stiffens further.

<Zeltan> What of Talo?

* Harbringer shrugs

* Legault looks at the Harbringer, "Is there a reason you came and showed us this?"

<Eitak_Razal> And what of all those that died during the war?! What were their lives worth?

<Nick> The Orb, dear...the Orb...

* Iago turns to the Harbringer, trying to ignore Eitak, "from whence do you come?"

<Harbringer> there is reason for all things

<Durroth> many of them will come back

<Eitak_Razal> A peice of the orb? Hundreds for one peice of the orb?

<Harbringer> I am we.

<Eitak_Razal> Where is the fairness in that

<Harbringer> We are thee.

* Damsel hesitates slightly. "Harbringer, will existance itself deturmine the price or is it something we can attempt to pay ourselves?"

<Legault> A warrior's fate is sealed. If you fight by a sword, you die by the sword.

<Durroth> hundreds for an orb to stop the uncreation of billions

<Deathbringer> That is the way of the warrior.

* Eitak_Razal mutters in a voice that seems to belong to someone else "The three... where have we heard that?"

* Harbringer shifts form

<Nick> Those that died knew what they were getting into...and they'll be remembered...if we all survive this...

* DrLouisZephyr (sadly) Nothing and no one can turn their back on The Devourer of Worlds

* darkchris76 nods

* Zephyr/Harbringer vanishes

* Zeltan watches the Harbinger with slight surprise. "You?"

* Eitak_Razal falls to the ground

* Deathbringer looks up.

* LordBarrius shifts his head briefly to Eitak, his eyes glaring coldly, though he says nothing his gaze makes his displeasure obvious. He then turns back to watch the Harbringer vanish and frowns more deeply.

* Damsel nods her head slowly.

* Nick looks at her and sighs.

<Legault> ... Zephyr. Huh.... What'd he mean by that? We're going to end up losing Divaria too...?

<darkchris76> ... thats very grave ...

* Iago acknowledges the exit of Zephyr/Harbringer with a slight nod of his head

* Eitak_Razal loses her transformation and those with the power can feel the anger leaveing her.

* Zeltan looks slightly troubled and swishes his tail.

* Eitak_Razal brings her self to her feet.

<Nick> Now...are you okay?

<Durroth> I've lost it... impossible

* Eitak_Razal nods

* Mariel appears

* Mariel Falerin? I just detected him.

* Iago nods to Mariel, "Hello"

* Deathbringer looks at Eitak then returns to looking forward.

<Legault> Falerin was here?

<Zeltan> Loremaster? I've not seen him I'm afraid.

* darkchris76 looks at merial, "hello"

* Mariel gestures. No.. not Falerin.

* Damsel looks up at Mariel, somewhat confused.

<Legault> Zephyr was here.

<Jeice> Dr. Zephyr was just here... but I know nothing about Falerin.

<Zeltan> It was Louis Zephyr.

<Mariel> Zephyr was not here either

<Eitak_Razal> Then who was it?

<Jeice> What?

<Legault> What...?

<Mariel> I understand...

* Zeltan frowns more deeply.

<Deathbringer> Huh?

<Durroth> the Harbringer?

<Eitak_Razal> We just saw him

<darkchris76> huh?

* Nick looks at him "We just saw him..."

<Zeltan> Then...who?

<Jeice> Mariel, could you please explain?

<Mariel> Yes the harbringer.

<Mariel> A deus ex machina

<Mariel> Reality asserting itself

<Mariel> Conscience given form

<Eitak_Razal> It was reality it self?

<Mariel> The primal

* Iago is intrigued... "we are thee" he mutters

<Mariel> The voice of William

<Mariel> The voice of all

* Mariel vanishes with a shudder
