Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thinking the thing was still lurking, but not sure where it was now, she gave up on the search to do as she was told. Moving the totems around in the garden, she kept her thoughts guarded away from Valdris or Sye as the inner fight took over. She couldn't let this ritual go through, but she had already killed the boy and things were being set in motion and on the other hand, she wanted it to go through, wanted the power and the soul that would come from it. However, the words of the dead child weighed heavily on her thoughts as well, she knew that the evil deity wouldn't be as Vald had believed and spoke of him to be. And once Vald had done when he wanted... Vald, too, would be killed.

Standing up straight, Eltoas brushed her long strands of hair from her face as she looked around to make sure she had the totems where they needed to be. That was when she took notice of something behind her, the stench of it's breath told her it was probably undead or something else monstrous and not terribly taller then what she was herself. Her long ears twitched against her hair as she picked up the clicking noise that came from the unseen figure. The elf wasn't sure if it was a clicking from a weapon or something else, so for the moment, she stood perfectly still as she thought about her options and tried not to draw Vald's attention to her.

Only a few moments would pass, before she decided to take the risk of trying to speak to her telepathically. She wasn't sure if Roan would allow the message to go through or not... if it was even her, but she risked the chance of it rather then a whisper that could be over heard of taken notice of. "Roan? Are you here to watch or will you try to stop this ritual? It could prove dangerous for Gaia if they are awakened and cause more trouble for your clan," she'd tell her, still standing as she waited to see if the thing behind her was Roan or if it was if she'd reply.

Her tail flickered around behind her as she heard the Matron Mother's words and knew they rang of truth. She was the one that was there now... she was the one that could do something to save them and to put a stop to this. The question was how? She wasn't powerful enough to stop Valdris or Oph. She had noticed the black book in his hands when he had came up and knew without a doubt that it was the Book. "I cannot do it alone... Valdris' too powerful and he has Sye with him. I need that book out of his hands, but not destroyed. I need to read it and figure it out... but if he knows I took it," she left off there, figuring the DeSeer would figure out what she meant would happen.

THE RITUAL HAS BEEN CASTED:The Ritual (part two)

The totems that surrounded Varldis started to hum. Forming small wisps of the abyss about them as he started to read the book to himself. Silently preparing the ritual in his mind as well as his body. The sky above him slowly started to open up from any clouds but a strange light that simple shined on Vladris and him alone. Still he continued to read on the book concentrating hard as he started to whispering the words of the book. The tongue of abyssal was hard to make out but the words started to flow through him. Each word started to build up the energy. Thats when he saw the eyes in the wisps of shadows that surrounded him. Watching him. Wanting there release from the prison of the underworld. He was going to grant it to them that was for sure.


The Skin on Valdris's body started to peal off from the sher evil of the book. Each piece of skin would bubble up and slowly fade into the wisps of shadow. He felt the sky slowly start to form a small black hole above the Manor. Valdris concentrated hard on his words as he started into the ritual.

Slowly from the shadows another set of eyes watched the ritual. His tall slender figure stood only to see El and Sye. His eyes stared into another spectrum of vision. Staring a bit as his eyes narrowed. He waited this time he will not have things be ruined.

Valdris still concentrated on what he was about to do. The tendrils reached around with a large swipe to the ground. Cracking the earth as the things hit the earth with there potence. Choas did insue and all Valdris could do was start to laugh. As the totems fell the cracked open and the ashes started to spread in the air. Dark shadows of wraiths came out from the totems as the beings wailed and screamed in agony. The loud screams from the things sang song along with the vicious roars of the Xenomorphs.

The tendrils if came on contact with the beasts would easly dislocate a jaw or break a bone if hit with enough potence. Still the ritual continued.

Sye pulled out his chains in a instant as he jumped away from one of the monsters. He whiped one chain on one another upon the wall to get him in the air away from the chaos below. He saw the monsters and knew they were not apart of there kin. Still the sound of his masters laugh made it more unnerving. He looked down at his stomach noticing the small line then the sudden blood flowing from his stomach. He was not cut open enough to spill his insides but it was close enough as he crouched.

The books hissed and growled as the new owner held it. Valdris wailed in defiance as he howled. He grabbed the book back. fighting to pull the book from who ever was taking it from him. Still it was now or never. He had the words he had the power. He could always retrieve the book later. He let go the book as he plunged his hand into Tenchi's heart. As Valdris reached into the boys chest he clenched it with such furry for a moment it started to beat once more. Each beat seemed to thump in everyones ears. As if the drums of war have come to them all to hear.

With that the ground from under Valdris trembled. The screams in the sky were heard as hell came. Creatures off all types seemed to come out like a whirl wind. Demons crawled out of the vortex that was created above them. The swarm came out by the hundreds and slowly the vortex closed. Without the book all of the minions could not be released.

Though one winged monster came from the shadow of the vortex. It was large as it had a head of a red Dragon but the body of a belrok. It's large bat wings started to fly down.

The ritual was never complete but enough of the minions of hell had arrive to cause enough damage. The creatures all together ranged in the thousands as they started to spread.

Harpy's hit the sky as one swooped down trying to grab one of the Xenomorphs for a meal.

Valdris turned as the wisps started to die down. With a slight growl in his voice he howled once more in anger that the book was stolen. His body broke apart. His fleshy shell busted about the garden as his spider form scurried on the side of the building.

Valdris Climbed on the walls of the inner grounds of the Garden. His spider shell was hard enough to take a few hits at least. Valdris bulbous underside turned spraying on of the raptor creatures to try and pin it. As the webbing was tossed towards the creature. Valdris's torso became apparent as he appeared above were the head would be. Looking almost like a giant Drider but still keeping the spider head at the bottom. Valdris started to caste one of his spells. Shielding his humanoid form.

" Eltoas... you stupid b***h... ran away! Sye attack them at the neck... these damn creatures."

Sye was more worried for the rapid creatures were acting crazed below them. Sye set his chains in all sorts of directions hoping that he would hit at least one as he took another chain and tied it to another ledge. Swinging from one side to another. Trying to keep out of reach from there tallons. Using the chains to hop entangle the beasts below.


Opherarin faded from the shadows at this time. He saw all he wanted to see. He would deal with the situation later.

.: Bring it to me. Hurry. :.

*The xeno's were chittering as if laughing as they dodged clumsy attempts to pin them by teh chains, but one was not so lucky with Valdris more... organic.. pinnning technique. One caught, two dead, and two escaped... that looked ot the the outcoime as the agile creatures faded out of sight and senses and vanishe dinto the garden in a variety of directions, their stranded comrade still making peculiar laughing sounds*

Valdris walked down with the constant clatter of his spider legs. He walked closer to the pinned creature. As he neared it staring down at it. He took one of his legs like a spear and stabbed it through the eye socket and through the brain. He glared down as he looked back at Sye. Then back to the creature.

" These are a nusance... " He lifted his spider like leg and moved towards the area around the garden. The place was totally destroyed. Still the large winged creature landed near Valdris as he paused.

"Vermillion... glad you can make it... I see the other's are well?"

The dragon head twisted towards Valdris as it glared a bit at him. Still the monstrous sized creature was 13 feet taller then Valdris. It's body was bright red with dark patched of maroon for it's scaley skin. Still the beast spoke with a hint of draconic accent.

"Your elders would be disapointed Valdris. Your mother is waiting for you on the other side once this is complete. I am here but it looks like you lost the book."

"The book can only be opened of us of blood. I have no worries. Now... lets clean this up and ready the troops. I will be waiting for a visitor shortly."

"As you wish... master" Vermillion spoke with slight annoance.
As the ground seperated and started to make preperations.
