Welcome to Gaia! ::

The boots upon the feet of the more magically inclined brother would twitch and his mind would fill up with beastial instinct for a brief moment. It was almost as if he had been given a type of foresight, a "spidey-sense" of sorts. (XD) His brother was drawn close and the two seemed to leap out of the way of the combined assault. Light blazed around Tor as incarnum flooded his body, infusing him with strength beyond the norm, flooding a point into every last Soulmeld between the two by the extraordinary link between them. [Perfect Meldshaper] Tor's wings drew around them as a second set of Wing Shards flew out and an aura of the color of rusting iron blazed through the air, the pendant around Shar's neck locking into his skin as their defense became absolute. The attack would be thwarted and the two brothers would be very airborn.

With the Wing Shards still darting around the battlefield shadows would be shreded by an eternal flame, and this effect would stay in place until each Wing Shard was destroyed, though at this time they received the same protection as Torment and Shar. The spiked ball had regretably missed, but now began to flow through the area as incarnum, a cloud forming that would only grow with time.

Tor began concentrating on another spell even as the he began to dart high into the air, only further thrown upwards by the force of the explosion, Shar focusing on taking the brunt to not disrupt Tor's concentration. The Phoenix Feather darted out as Shar utilized the Essentia Tor had flooded into him to fire an arrow of extraordinary strength. Both of these now fortified weapons darted out with infinite versatility to the will of the Brothers of Soul, both aimed to spear King through the chest, both linked to Tor and Shar, hidden from sight, sound, and aura, they passed through the air as if they simply weren't there.

The Essentia that had flooded into several soulmelds had indeed been wasted, but the Arcane Focus had been utilized well enough. All around King and Kai the air would seem to grow with heat they could not tap, a pressure of magic in the air flooding their senses. Flames leapt up around them that seemed to be do very little, rising up in two columns around them.

The only problem was that the air around King and the heat wouldn't sway under his control, and despite his complete dominance in his sphere of influence the spell seemed to burn not only flesh, but his mind. The sphere would not grow and he would not be able to absorb the energies, neither would be able to. The two projectiles would dart around the point where he had made to block them and drive into his small sphere.

The pressure began to increase around the two brothers as a veritable firestorm began to rage around them the flames turning to a brilliant shade of blue, light blazing from Tor's necklace. [Essentia Point Used] The light they gave off was absolutely amazing, a blinding flash with each ripple of flame that seemed intent on destroying all that was dark and unnatural. These were the flames of Elysium.

Torment seemed to have taken control of the battlefield as a whole, using the willpower of his own deific mind combined with the force of magic and generations of magi before him to create a conflagration that passed beyond the physical, destroying minds and cleansing souls. As King was of the Undead and Kai was infused with Darkness, they'd find themselves trapped in the flame.

The two above would seem to lose their shape as Tor's wings spread out, hiding them in a constantly shifting outline that seemed more like a mass. This confusion would only increase as a cloud seemed to form around them, obscuring them from the sight of King. This cloud had a much greater purpose, however, as would soon be realized.




((Yes, he's burning the influence of King's mind. Unless King feels like being Comatose, he better stop, cause the spell is only going to get stronger as he continues to concentrate. ^_^))

((>.> Kai, big black juggernaut thing, whatever. Either way, its getting pwnt. Anyhow, its not what the flames are that counts, its how they burn. Its like a human trying to drink molten rock. His influence is trying to absorb it and the flames are burning his mind, aka his influence. Theres four posts worth of charging in the spell (2 real +2 E points), and at lower levels it wouldn't burn like it is, but at higher levels of channeling its made to burn ******** gets in its way. The longer he channels to more bitchin it gets. In a few posts worth it'll be strong enough to burn those immune to heat and flame.))

((It goes beyond normal flame, however. You are looking at the spell as if it were a normal flame based attack, where the flames are just a visual medium to describe how it is burning everything in its path, after a certain point. It is indeed flame to begin with, but it transcends that state. Mindblaze was killed by Torment when he utilized this very spell, or a predecessor anyhow.))

The only problem would be the time dialation effect, which would doom King in ways he couldn't even comprehend. As soon as the time dialation began to take effect the flames, the chain, the arrow, Torment, and Shar seemed to double in speed, if not more. Torment's passive ability to latch onto the fastest flowing time stream (meaning he'd be going the fastest/tied for first) accellerated not only himself, but everything his soul touched. The flames turned from a brilliant blue to pure white in the moment Torment held onto King's time dialation field, focusing twice as much mana as he would have been otherwise and flooding two more units of his overall strength into the 'flames' as they simply ceased giving off heat. [Essentia Point Used] [Essentia Point Used]

The Phoenix Feather and the arrow from the Longbow of Souls had redirected and were upon King in an instant, moving faster that light itself by their connection to the time dialation field, once directed moving too fast for though to calculate. The arrow seemed to glow brighter as Shar poured more of his strength into it. [Smite Attempt Used] A second arrow just as the first would be released, glowing just as brightly. [Essentia Point Used] [Smite Attempt Used]

With the flames no longer giving off heat the pool of shadow would not grow as great as was expected, likely shrinking. The flames had been infused with strength beyond anything Tor could hope to emplace upon them in such a short time.* The 'flames' no longer gave off heat because now they seemed to be bent on simple destruction. The 'flames' destroyed what they touched under the pure essense of destruction, stemming from no particular energy source or element. Destruction was the end of all things, and the end was coming to those at hand. In time the 'flames' would be able to rise up to King, but now they were bent on destroying the pool of shadows before it could even form. Destruction itself seemed to call out, "Disrupt Your Caster!"**




*((8 posts worth of charging now. 2 posts +2 points + 4 from this post of the same configuration because of the Time dialation effect.))
**((If Jansy Boy sees this, I had to. XD))

Light began to blaze forth from the pair as Torment's wings locked around them and the pendant sealed their cocoon, but this would hardly be enough. [Essentia Point Used] The Longbow of Souls was held at the point where the wings connected, pushing through. Light blazed outward in a single line as the cloud he had gathered began to congregate around the staff. He began pouring his entire will into it, burning up a fair deal of his strength. [Smite Attempt Used] [Smite Attempt Used] [Smite Attempt Used] [Essentia Point Used] [Essentia Point Used] [Essentia Point Used] [Crystal Helm Unshaped]

The Essense of Obelisk was born once more, and with it came pure destruction in kind. An aura of green light surpassed the perception null as the two began an erratic spin. [Incarnum Radiance: Speed] Utilizing the effects of the Crystal Helm to augment the spin the two began to spin at an incredibly rapid rate. [Essentia Point Used] Torment focused upon switching his Soul power center and bind instead the Planar Chausable. The connection between the brothers would be lost, but an escape would seeon be found. Their spin seemed to simply obliterate the matter around them, creating a sort of vaccuum in a sphere around them where the chain reaction could not enter. They would be pushed forth by the explosion striking the reinforced shield, extra points being dropped into it as necessary, but as yet they would survive. They only truly needed a few moments to bind the Chausable and then open a gate to Elysium.

Kai's eyes widened as a good percentage of the battle field, and Gaia itself was reduced to a craterous wasteland, void of most if not all life. His eyes were wide not for the destruction caused but simply because he no longer felt his brother's spirit. Angered to a point beyond describability he moved himself to the prime material plane to face these two head on. From what was left of the black and red sky void of most if not all light from the kicked up dust came a maelstorm of thick black lightening. It struck in many of the same point repeatedly within a small area and a thick black orb materialized from nothingness. As the heavy tint of the orb would soften almost going opaque the form of an extremely pissed rather large and muscular human was seen, though he wouldnt look human for long.

He'd glare up at the two, hatred so thick leaking from his very form it could be cut with a knife. He fed off the darkness from above, the orb about his body disappearing but its influence was still seen. Suddenly he stood within a large crater, rocks and dust seemed to be blown back from him immediately. If raw power had a sound it would be screaming through out this now rather large valley. He held his arms out to the sides and a pillar of darkness came down from the sky above and engulfed him. Then, standard super saiyan style he'd yell allowed, closing his eyes and looking upwards as he'd take on his lycan form.

The pillar of darkness exploded outward to complete the transformation, and he was seen once more flexing his muscles as though will power itself had dispelled the darkness. Beside the appearing differences he'd grown in height and weight, dark black eyes set within a wolven face, and ferocious jaws dripping with raw seathing hatred for the two he would soon devour. The very air would sizzle around him as though this plane was not ready for a being of this magnitude, it seemed to cower in his wake. Space and time if given form would cater to his will within the darkness, the material plane itself almost beckoning him as though a servant to a master. A deep thick ravenous voice that would send chills up the back of some of the bravest beings on earth would echo throughout the area, "its time for you to die."

Kai gazed upon the pair of beings that had just emerge from other planes, their spacial coordinating signatures reflected that of celestials, basically Gods. He'd smirk as he looked up to see them, he had alot of anger and stress to release, the more people brought to this party the better. As he stood there darkness seemed to radiate from his being, it leaked from his body, surrounding him first and then expanding forward. It seemed to almost ignore the light of these beings, spreading regardless. This was not simply the absence of light, but matter of this plane being converted into darkness though left in a non solidified state. Darkness spread quickly across the ground once more like a large ocean and he'd disappear from view. The valley appeared to be a large bowl of a murky black liquid, it wouldnt spread upwards yet but this would be an ominous sign to his enemies.

He sat within the darkness pool, gathering himself and formulating a plan, this particular darkness would not be parted so easily as last time. It was pure and untainted by anything, the very catalyst of death held within a large mass, straight from shadow plane. The plane itself adhering to his will and manifesting itself upon the prime material plane to aid him. Here he'd wait, a plan of course had already formulated and was currently in the works even now. Though the table was not quite set yet, it would be soon
