Welcome to Gaia! ::

*With an...interestingly blinding Darkness, Darz appears in a swirl of Chaos. As he steps through, a bit dizzy, he notices that same girl he'd seen only a few times before she appeared in a strange message aboard the Archangel Tarma. His recognition was faint...as if he'd seen her through a dream. In fact, his strongest illusion had seen her. Darz rushes over to help Kalie up. He has no name for her, but he quickly gives his own.*

Allow me to help! I'm Darz Lore Amerese! I believe...you called on Kargin Nusradai's behalf?

*Taking Darz's hand, she steadied herself against him, while attempting to nod at the same time, the result being a bit messy but in the end she was at least standing.* "yes.. but Torment might be a bit more fitting.."

*She had meant it as a suggestion really, not knowing if Tor still answered to Kargin or not. Smiling, Kalie let go of his hold, almost sure that she would be able to support herself.* "Thank you.. Oh! I'm Kalie."

*Darz looks at Torment. Though the part of him that was Kargin was "gone", it was impossible to remove a name from oneself. Darz should know. He still couldn't get rid of that stench that was the Amerese name. Torment would always be Kargin to him. It was impossible for him to be anybody else. As he's grown in love and human emotions, Darz has come to despise what Torment once was. Darz's dark, draconic wings flap as he bows, politely, to the both.*

Even if the part you recognize as Kargin is gone, you are still he. Well met, Kalie.

*Darz takes a moment to make sure all his swords are with him. They are. It's easy enough to tell as he quickly rummages his hands around within his cape/cloak. He doesn't know why he wants to check. In order of strongest to weakest, EternalSphere, Chaos Bleeds, Banal Fatalis, Void Reversal, and Black Shot (katana, short katana, dagger, katana, gun-blade), they are all where they are supposed to be. They are well hidden, as well -- only revealed when his cape/cloak is pulled away.*

*As Vince entered the room, and Kalie moved back to Torment's side, she shoot Vince rather peculiar look from her vantage point, having to only look past the mess of spikes and..angel 'fluff'.*

"The sooner Soulscour is removed, the better for the three of us at least.. I'm not sure if it will affect you in the least, as you've yet to meet him."

*Directing the statement to the company as a whole, but mainly Darz, Kalie appeared to wince momentarily at the name of Tor's clone, having been reborn for the second time.*

*For the first time since he's arrived, as if it took a while to catch up, Darz's strange aura, an odd mixture of both darkness and divininty/celestial, seems to strech out, in all directions. Something...strikes a cord. He knows what Soulscour is capable of...even if his current form hasn't shown itself. If Darz is right, the scowl on his face will prove its point. He has a determination to his voice hardly befitting an ignorant man.*

I know full well what evil is capable of...

*Darz glowers at Kargin -- or Torment as he seemed to want to call himself. There was still that part of him that cannot like Torment, ever again. There is that part that has forgiven him, but he now calls the one he likes Kargin. With a sigh and a slow blink, Darz looks back to Kalie. He had no desire to relate such a past event to her, but it may be necessary.*

It wasn't too long ago that a Spell Seed took Torment's sanity. He nearly killed my wife, and it took the whole of the Gaian Police Department to render him back to what he was. I do know what Soulscour is capable of. Kargin. This is why I do not call you by that...former name.

*He's done it; Darz feels as he had to. It was necessary to let both Kargin Nusradai and Kalie know just what it is Darz feels. It's something he learnt the hard way from Tarma Falloner...Amerese. There were two names he couldn't really stand, and he could at least say his family name without the obvious hint of dislike, possibly hatred, as he had stated Torment's "old" name.*

*The brief score of just part of Torment's history, really didn't strike Kalie as a surprise, the event in itself she would have never imagined.. but his state of mind, she could with little effort. Kalie, as confused as she sometimes looked; wasn't that naive when it came to the 'darker' side of the world. Weather it rested in trades, politics, or something else entirely. Even without either of those, Soulscour had enlightened her enough, and most..she doubted had been lies. Torment, himself, had told her more then enough and hinted at others..*

*Gazing up at Tor.. Kalie still smiled and kissed his cheek quickly as not to draw to much attention to it, she would never condemn for his past, she hadn't before when the part that now proved to be threat was apart of him. It didn't matter to her.. she had seen past all of it a long time ago. And he was correct.. looking back on it, and every where they had gone together, he really wasn't that man anymore...Soulscour was.*

I said as much, Kargin.

*Darz lets out a sigh as he looks around. Vince was a new face to him, plain and simple. Kargin and Kalie were both familiar, and he likes to think of Kargin as his friend. He's already admited that he'll do what he can to rid the multi-verse of Soulscour. He was the worst of Torment. That, anyway, is what Darz has gathered, thus far. He notices Kalie kiss Kargin, and he feels happy for him. With a smile, Darz speaks up again.*

I'm glad you found happyness, Kargin. I do have one question... Why call me to fight Soulscour?

*Darz wonders if its the fact that any form of Darkness attack is worthless against him. He can absorb Chaos, Bane, Void, and Black energy as if it were a part of him. The Chaos Afflicted Human, Darz Lore Amerese, looks towards Kargin and Kalie.*
