Welcome to Gaia! ::

So the rumors flying about the crowds were true, or at least held truth to them. As Avery walked into the main throne room he would look about the apparent three that stood out. A man that seemed cybernetic, which must be the arrogant individual that people gossiped about, and the guards complained about on his way in - the only reason he figured this was because the metallic arm and eye were brought up. Then, there was some robot, or an individual using a power suit which was followed by some average looking man. He knew none of them, and could only connect one individual with their description being spread about via gossip, but even then no one appeared to know his name.

For now, Avery would turn his attention away from them and instead towards the woman currently seated on the throne.

"I assume you are Lady Kikyo?"

Making his way around the fight in a wide berth, Avery would approach Kikyo. Avery would most likely appear very odd to her, or any of them for that matter since he was a good height, though lanky and wore a thick hooded winter coat, gloves, boots and the whole nine yards. Even his face was not visible since it was covered by a white mask, his eyes peering out of unprotected eye slots.

To most, Avery would give off a very eerie or ominous air about him, but to such battle hardened individuals he'd most likely appear to be some simpleton. All signs of previous battle had been cleaned up - his attire repaired, his body replaced and his ectoplasm regenerated. Keeping his eyes on Kikyo up to the point he stopped in front of the stairs leading up to the throne, Avery would look about the room before raising his right hand's wrist to face some sort of electronic gauntlet at Kikyo.

"I am Avery Okoth Haiben Naiser Zoan. What has happened to Oni?"

She was bound to notice that Avery himself did not seem to speak, but rather the gauntlet on his wrist. Avery himself could not physically speak, but the gauntlet was able to receive his thoughts, and then translate into the prominent language with a pre-programmed voice. This also allowed Avery to understand all of them, as well, since it would take what they said and transmit it back to him telepathically. It was one of the many machines that he had received from a hired black smith. In the end, it appeared to have paid off, but with Oni gone..what would happen?

Diamus stood up straight facing the man and sheathed his weapon. Then he bowed slightly and in a calm and stern voice asked the question "I had heard a voice and by following it and the amount of fog appearing in the crypt i presume you are the source of both and assuming such what is the meaning to your words?" Diamus then stood back and kept his eyes on the man but keeping all his other senses active in case he would be involved in a fight,.

Diamus chucked slightly "It's a little more musty than i remember it last but that's nothing new..this place always smelled of dead bodies. Mostly thanks to me" he said letting his guard down only a little while reminiscing about all the acts of torture he committed on the souls. Then he fixed his vision back on the old man and started forming his own clouds of smoke in his free hand.

Diamus ran his hand across his chin in thought when the man revealed his name. "Mortimer..that name seems familiar yet not..are you perhaps a descendant of the last crypt keeper i had put in here?" diamus asked and he made another swirl of smoke to combine itself with what Mortimer was conjuring making the room even more sinister feeling that what would already scare a normal person

[[OOC: Sorry for taking so damn long. I'm still trying to balance school and work.]]

Kikyo had closed her eyes after speaking to the gentleman before about everything that had happened in the past few years. She had for once, since her time back, felt remorse for what she had done. Slowly she opened up her eyes to see another gentleman in font of her. At first she was confused where he was speaking from, but that did not take too long after a quick observation.

"You assume correct sir."

Adjusting herself in her seat, her focus was not on the fight going on, but of this man whom she has never met. Once he spoke to her again, she stood up slowly and placed her hands in front of her.

"What I understand is that he is gone. Dead that is. When he died, from what I understand, I appeared. It seems confusing even to me so I apologize."

Diamus paused for second to take what Mortimer had just accused of him and then following it up with a question and added another layer of his own smoke to the room to conceal their conversation from watching eyes.

"well to be honest many have called me insane before and I have never considered myself of sound mind. Now as to your asking of why I'm here in hell.." He stopped for a second

"I actually used to serve as General of lady Kikyo's army alongside the warrior Inferno if those names are of any significance to you. I honestly can't even remember why left it's been so long but i decided it was time to make a return because i received word that things were a bit different so i needed to make sure of that and aside from a few things nothing has really changed" Then sensing a long conversation with the old man Diamus moved some the ground to form himself a seat.
