Welcome to Gaia! ::

Draeken had been paying attention and kept his grin on his face as he sent a combination of fire and air through the after image, but then whipped it around behind himself while jumping forward a few paces. He had been slightly caught off-guard by the feint, but it wasnt enough to make him lose sight of Focht. The fire whip would not only burn and set fire to Focht if it landed, but would feel as if a true whip had hit him. The flames of it were a light blue to show that it was incredibly hot.

*Relinth had found the house sometime ago, but had a very hard time actually navigating the area to get to the combat area. He walked in taking his place near a wall watching Focht, and D fight. He didn't pull his Katana, but simply rested his hand on the hilt*

I see...

*Relinth turned to Soondu, and chuckled a bit. Everything he had been looking to find out about had been solved all in one outing. Results made him happy so he put a hand Jason's shoulder*

I'm not trying to hide from anyone... Where are those two people. Forget about who the bad guy is you shouldn't be here...

As Focht pulled the whip, it raised up in front of Draeken as if being held by an invisible hand and was able to pull him forward a bit then begin to turn him to his left. In doing this he was able to once again narrowly miss Fochts blade. At the same moment, however, the whip did not become motionless. Instead the dangling end past where Focht held it snaked rapidly up the mans arm, extending further and further, likely aiming to ensnare Focht's entire arm. The whip was still burning just as furiously and as hot.

Focht passed thru the space that D had just left, letting go of the whip and trying to move out of range. Thats when the pain started to get to him, slowing him down just a hair but in a fight like this it could mean death. Anyone looking close enough at the deep gash on Focht's side might notice the cracks in a few of his ribs. As he tried to head in an opposite direction from D, letting go of the whip; it caught his wrist and forearm, jerking him back off his feet. Focht's flesh burned at the whip's touch as it slowly began to burn its way deeper. Whether it was surprise or pain was anyone's guess but Focht cried out, only to be cut short when he hit the ground. The eire blue glow around the gauntlet began to fade the deeper the whip went.

"AHHHhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"

The grin on Draeken's lips became one of sheer malice. The whip jerked quickly while beginning to move in a sawing motion. It seemed that Draeken was attempting to remove Fochts entire arm. While repeatedly jerking the whip with his unseen energies, Draeken faltered then grinned even wider. Something different was happening now. The air around Draeken seemed to start rippling in long slow waves. Slowly and with a very painful cracking sound, Draekens wings parted to reveal the entire front of his body. Slowly they moved to be folded against his back neatly.

His arms were free to move around now and they did. At first it was only a twitching in the fingers, but slowly his arms began to rise from his sides. Halfway to being held in front of himself, Draekens arms went into a more normal speed and raised above his head. Draeken looked up into the night sky and closed his eyes. High above him, a circle began to grow. It started very slowly, but was gradually gaining speed.

The circle was darker than anything could have possibly been. If there were any color more absolutely dark than black, this was it. After maybe ten seconds a majority of the sky was nothing but that oppressing darkness. Within another thirty seconds the earth would be half covered by this darkness. Inside of two minutes, the entire planet would be engulfed and the darkness would spread from the sky to fill the space between the earth and sky.

Darkness would soon engulf the entire planet. Even the most powerful sources of light would only illuminate perhaps half a mile in a circle around it. Candles, torches, and various other small sources of light would be all but useless. Yet despite this darkness, Draeken seemed to stand out from it. He wasnt illuminated, but he stood there, visible to all, as if the darkness didnt affect him nearly as much. Everything else though was unseen. Not even night vision would work unless there was a nearby source of light, for this darkness seemed to eat the light. And for nightvision to work, at least a little light was needed.

... *He noded, taking his hand away from his gun.* alright.
