Yawgmoth's planeshifting matrix charged for a moment building its own energy before it discharged, it however, did not move Yawgmoth like she had seen it work before. It instead did nothing that was readily apparent. It took it a few minutes but finally a loud thump echoed from the ruins of the arena. Two large yellow eyes opened up and rising up from a kneeling position was a bipedal titan of metal. It was humanoid in basic form. Two arms, two legs, head chest all that stuff. Only it was big....very big. Its face contained two large yellow eyes and weird looking metallic tusks where its nose would be and a mouth underneath the tusks that didn't appear to hold any teeth that were visible. Yawgmoth smirked. "This, is a Phyrexian Colossus"

"Woah.." she whispered quietly, surely no one could hear her over the sound of the Colossus' entrance and movement. Rising to her feet, she tilted her head slightly, blue eyes were wide while examining the creature from head to toe before bobbing her head to recognize the creature in greeting, knowing that this creature would be sentient and likely grumpy.

The creature reached down and actually snatched Yawgmoth up crushing part of the column in his reach, crushing it against Yawgmoth in his grip. Ziven was right about both things, of course it was sentient, they all were, and grumpy. Oh yes....very grumpy. The creature's hollow deep voice sounded, it of course, spoke in their native language and no one but Yawgmoth or another phyrexian would be able to tell just what he was saying. But, being observant as she was Ziven could surely tell by the tone of its voice it was none too happy about being jump shifted from wherever it was to here. Yawgmoth did not look to happy either and snapped something back loudly to the creature who's tone changed almost instantly to apologetic of sorts before setting him down and bowing as best as its colossal size would let it. The creature then spotted Ziven and grew angrier, Colossi were known to be very...speciesist. That is to say, aside from other phyrexians and Yawgmoth they found everything else an annoying little insect squished underfoot. It reached forward to snatch her up but Yawgmoth's voice stopped it "Ah ah! We said no. Stop acting like a child. You were not doing anything of actual merit to warrant this behavior. Act like the elite soldier you are!" Yawgmoth spat back to it. The colossus' hand stopped a few feet from Ziven and/or whatever barrier she may or may not have put up. It retracted its huge hand and grumped to Yawgmoth again in their native language.

Rather squeaking with surprise as the creature grabbed Yawgmoth, she cast her barrier to prevent debris from falling against her, as there was quite a lot from the stone he had crushed and they were rather close. Listening to their words, she patiently waited for they to finish speaking since she had no idea what they may be speaking about. When the creature tried to reach for her and Yawgmoth stopped it, she was again amazed that he would prevent her from being harmed by this creature but on other days he would want for others to harm her. She bobbed her head respectfully again to them both. There were no words for this, she wished to let them speak in private.

The colossus crossed his arms over his massive chest armor plate and sat down. And when he sat down, he sat down. The entire ground shook causing some unstable rocks from the ruins tumble down the ruins of the seats. The rubble he sat on was less than pebbles now as the creature let out a large sigh which was visibly seen by a huge exhale of white smoke from six holes on its head and face. Two from its nostrils and four from these steam vent looking things on the back of its head. The creature finally spoke in a language Ziven could understand. "Why was I drug here?" The creature asked looking at Yawgmoth. "To meet...a repair woman of sorts. We think, in the future, we will allow her to try her skills at fixing one of you. If she fails, we will repair the damage ourselves and we'll let..whichever colossus she attempts to fix kill her if they really want to. We are just showing her one, and you were the only one we could find not doing anything of merit." Yawgmoth said crossing his arms and sitting the rest of the fallen column again much in the same fashion the colossus had. The colossus looked at Ziven. "She is a bug....Why should any of our kind let her tinker around inside of us?" He said turning his nose to the air like a cat displeased with their food. Yawgmoth only laughed. "Yes, yes she is a bug, annoying like one too. But somewhere in there lies some hint of talent. We wish to see this supposed talent for ourselves. This is all" Yawgmoth responded. The colossus made one slight snerking sound and peered over at the tiny Ziven. "What can you do bug? Show me"

Dodging even more debris as the great creature seated, she apparated again to a new location that was again safe from being damaged. She tilted her head, ripe with curiosity at their conversation and then curious and a bit taken aback by the request to see what she could do. With a grin, she decided to do something a little crazy. "I can do many things. Today, for you, I believe I shall give you the chance to use something I assume you have never used before." she said with a slight grin. Bobbing her head once, she closed her eyes and concentrated for a moment.
As she did this, her clothes started rippling, like that when she was feeling great emotion, but on this night it was due to nothing more than sheer concentration of trying to do something that took a great deal of energy. Manipulating the stone and earth beneath the enormous creation, the material warmed and then began to shift, as if it were sand. After a few minutes of white noise from the materials mixing and moving, it finally began to take the shape of an enormous chair of sorts, a stone to lift the creature from the ground with a back and an arm rest on either side. The seat was big enough to fit only a creature the size of Colossus, dwarfing anything else that may come near it.
Once finished, she relaxed for a moment, guaging how weak she may feel from this display of energy. She realized she were tired but not as tired as she would expect, at least not for the moment .. perhaps this change she had gone through was more helpful with her magic than she thought Blue eyes fluttered open finally to view the result of what she had done, the smallest of smiles playing at the corners of her lips.

Yawgmoth smirked amused by her display. It was large yes, but it would not hold for long he knew this. The colossus inspected the chair for a few moments before it crumbled under his weight. He weighed every bit of several mega tons and the weak stone was old and damaged from years of wear and combat it was just not meant to hold the massive titan of metal. The colossus thundered upon the ground and chuckled for a moment. "Not bad bug. Not bad at all." The colossus said leaning over towards her and Yawgmoth. "You are not COMPLETELY useless after all. Perhaps, with some lessons from Yawgmoth or Preator Gix as to the workings of our kind, you may yet be able to understand it enough to fix what is broken." He finished with a nod. "But the complexity to us is so grand, that those two creatures are the only ones. In all of the universe, to understand it completely." Yawgmoth snickered "We doubt we will teach her everything there is to know. Though if we do decide to teach her anything, it will be strictly about your kind, the colossi. We will not spoil all of our secrets in one fell swoop you know" Yawgmoth said loudly from the column. The colossus nodded "Agreed. In fact. When she is ready. I will volunteer myself." the colossus said turning its huge yellow eyes to Ziven "But be warned bug. If you harm me, I will squash you into the dirt." The colossus rose up from his broken seat and brushed itself off flinging huge rock chunks around them. "Now Yawgmoth, send me home. You can bring me back. When she is ready to undertake this task". Yawgmoth nodded and discharged the planeshifting matrix which had been charging itself again throughout this for a quick exit if need be. The colossus seemed to freeze in movement for a moment, even ceasing to breathe before it just..vanished. A large wave of hot rushed over them since shifting the colossus heating a great deal of the air where it once stood. So much in fact, it caused an audible thunderclap to happen from the hot air rushing with the cool night breeze. "Of course, we forgot to mention. You are by no means forced to give this a try. But if you accept, you will be playing by his rules not ours. It will be his body at stake. So strike whatever deals you want with them if you decide to make the attempt" Yawgmoth said sliding down from the column.

Crossing her arms over her middle, she made a miffed noise, irritated with herself for not having taken their great weight in to consideration. Nodding to the creature, she accepted what was said. "Please know I would not accept such a task without first fully understanding your anatomy. I do not heal unless I know I am able to." she said with a nod.
Watching as he was returned to Phryexia, she stared at the stone that was the chair, touching her chin with one hand she pondered. Closing her eyes again, she ignored what Yawgmoth was saying and instead concentrated on the chair again. The crumbled portion began shifting back in to the form one would expect a chair to look like. Inhaling deeply, she pressed her hands together in front of her for a moment and said a few words in the Ancient Language; the stone glowed red hot for a moment and when the light dimmed, the stone had been turned to diamond.
"The hardest material on this planet, I wonder if that would support the great weight of one of your Colossus creations." she said softly, peering at what she had done. Again, this was so large scale that she knew a lot of energy would be used for this and with two large spells in a row, it took a toll on her whole body now. Raising a hand to her temple, she felt as if she were going to lose consciousness, but she fought against herself to remain awake. "Heh, what has gotten in to me, he is no longer here to try to sit even. I believe it is time for rest." as she said this, she nearly lost it, catching her balance by leaning against one of the stones.

Yawgmoth tilted his head and shrugged. "Perhaps. The tension strength of diamond is pretty high. But some parts of a colossus' innards is made of Darksteel. A natural substance occurring on only a very few planets that we know to exist. Very valued because it's virtually indestructible. Even we cannot destroy darksteel by brute force or magic. And we can crush smaller diamonds. The only known method for destroying and shaping darksteel is an unfathomable amount of heat. We have to replicate a Star's powerful heat to mold it in our factory. Darksteel is also very dense and weighs quite a lot per pound of it. Though we're sure enough diamonds, that big, would support his weight as he is not entirely composed of that material. Just a few parts surrounding his vital organs to protect them. Still, we are almost curious to find out." Yawgmoth explained. He examined the new chair she had created with careful eye, zooming in on every detail to spot any weaknesses that would make it crush under the weight of the colossus. Nope, it looked pretty sturdy. "We however, believe it will or would support him." Yawgmoth's face turned to the sky. "It is late. We are going to go home now. You know how to find us when you are ready to learn" Yawgmoth said hopping over a few stones and started heading back to the main inn, towards his goal, the dungeon of Crow.

"Good evening, Mr Yawgmoth." she said simply, acknowledging what he said but not having the energy to reply. With a small pop, she was gone.

The wizard was silent as he tossed his shirt, jacket, shoes and socks off. Letting his hair waver in the breeze, he drew a very wicked looking katana and held it before him in silent meditation. Soon, a small glow eminated from the blade, and it began to crackle in sparks before he launched a vertical cut. The blade sent out an arch of lighting hurtling to a wall as Julius returned to a still position.
Soon, it had fire run along the length as he did a vertical cut, a wave of flames launchin out, then he madde quick stabs to send out icicles. A smile was on his lips as one finger made a glowing symbol in midair and pressed his palm to it, making bolts of lightning shoot out.
His heartbeat was quite fast as he slowly sat down to meditate.

Getting himself to brush his pants off, Julius put his weapon away and got dressed before heading to the inn. Hopefully, Yawgmoth could be there, and he would get a chance to learn a little more about Phyrexian lore and anatomy.

Dark Pentacle DP replys "sure why not i'll be happy to kick you a**" DP jumped from the stand were he was sitting and readied himself for a qucke fight "You're a funny looking guy" said he in an insane voice, "My name is Zen-aku, there is no need for me to know yours" he laughed. He took off from his position with such speed that the ground under him came up folding inward and this continued until the spot were he would intercept DP in a tackle position that would take him up into the air with him holding him around the waist.
