Temple of Darkness

[Yousei Akki]

Announcement!

Within Antarmur'ss domain, a great tremor shakes the very foundations. All throughout Crepuscule City the Darkbeasts that lurk in the corners and niches surge forth in a tide of black and violet through the streets until they come to sit outside the great archway that leads to the Ebony Fortress.

A moment of pure and utter silence follows the gathering of the Darkbeasts. A silent call to come to the city is sent to all Darkness Pockettu, and those few rare Pockettu whom have been blessed by Antarmur'ss. After just a scant handful of heartbeats, every light within the city of Crepuscule is extinguished. Though not it's source. Fires still burn, light-bulbs still hum with electricity... however the darkness of the city grows so deep and profound, it swallows up every glimmer and glow.

"My beloved servants." Antarmur'ss voice whispers from the darkness itself. It reaches out to those not within the city as well, whispering to them into their ears from any shadow, or holy symbol, that is available.

"A time of trials have come upon us. The madness of Venezia has been revealed. A bargain has been struck between himself and the Cursed, that they would rise up together and tear me down. He seeks to corrupt the other Gods. He knows I am stronger, that We are stronger my dearest followers. He who has given offense in the past, then reacts with such extremes over a simple jest. A little jab if you will at his own expense. So it is that a war is coming to us again my flock. Venezia has called upon the rabid Hellbeast Goddess to side with him. We are not alone though, for with us stands the God of Death. Lukarius lends to us his strength, and sends a gift to bestow upon my followers who would take up arms in my name. Any who cry loyalty to me, I ask now to gird yourselves. I have closed all the Umbra roads to the surface, save one which is guarded by my precious Ling. Seek out the Clowns followers. Seek out the Hellhounds faithful. Seek out the Cursed that would dare stand mingled with those of the divine faiths. Wreck holy vengeance upon these corrupted blasphemers and show them they should not dare to stand against me!"

With the completion of his summons, Antarmur'ss withdraws his presence from the city itself. The darkness that consumed all allows now the lights to pierce through it as is natural, and the gathered darkbeasts disperse.

(- And so. Antarmur'ss has created a conflict with Venezia that has snowballed into a very dangerous situation. He encourages his followers to attack on sight any who serve Venezia, Hexynia, and of course the Cursed. As the god of Death has offered his aid to him, Antarmur'ss has a large pile of very pretty, very deadly, and very strange weapons to offer all of his followers. Swords, daggers, bows, stave's, and various other weapons will be found by any pockettu that comes to the Ebony Fortress. These weapons may be of unusual colors. Though they will gain no battle bonus' and have no special effects. They are just weapons provided for those who need them. This is more of a RP element that can be added to your pockettu.

There is only one road now to the surface, though the road to the Ayesheehue Forest is still open. The Darkbeasts have returned to their lurking in the city, though they will no longer harass or torment any pockettu who carries Antar's symbol. Any Pockettu who does not have the symbol of Antar, or of Lukarius, will be hounded by the Darkbeasts until they are driven out of the city.-)

Antarmur'ss allowed his gaze to sweep over Triellyn in silent thought. With a faint nod of his head, he makes a slight gesture at the other. "You have promise. I shall keep an eye on you. Be conscious of this Triellyn, for any mistake you make I shall assuredly see."

Aldrailian

There is a very brief moment when Antarmur'ss merely stares at the bowing General. As the other rises, he steps towards Shadovian, opens his arms, and embraces the Blessed. "I am most pleased to welcome you into my service Shadovian. Once you have settled into your place, we shall speak further on plans that I have. And such plans they are." With a nod of his head the Darkness God releases the general and makes a small gesture for him to go.

Antarmur'ss is slow to answer Mal'rak's prayer. When he does appear, it is with his arms crossed and a slight frown upon his face. Slowly Antarmur'ss begins to circle Mal'rak and the capsules lain out for his acceptance. As Antar passes behind Mal'rak, his tail sweeps over both of the capsules, the tentacles reaching out to stroke and caress the capsules tops before pulling away. "You test me Mal'rak." He states in a firm voice. "You were a utter embarrassment in the war. Now you come with these capsules before me?" Antarmur'ss came full circle so he stood before Mal'rak. His lips still pulled into a frown. "I expect nothing but excellence from these children Mal'rak. If either one of them fails to properly honor and serve me, it shall be you whom pays the price for that failure."
