Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hmm..?" he rose his head, smelling the odor as well.

He looked over at where the smell was and his eye twitched.

"...That's an odd smell, to be sure..." he said, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah...That's what happens when all you drink is 'Hundred Proof alcohol..." he said with a shrug.

"Sure, I love to fight. But there are also things I would rather forget...Like when those dark things appeared years ago from..."

Zahzi looked over at Belle and watched her shudder.
He rose and eyebrow.
"Are you alright? You seem to be troubled by something..."

"The past is a fickle thing..." Zahzi said, placing the nearly-empty bag of popcorn on a stone, and crossing his arms.

"Family, I've lost all of them. I've even lost comerades I would consider flesh and blood as well." he said, leting out a deep breath.

"Beer, fighting, and even humor are the ways I cope with it."

"Drinking is only a temporary fix, yes." he said with a nod.

"So Damian killed your brother then? Well, there's your reason to fight him and his army." he said with a smile.

Malcolm entered the dark chamber in the center of the dark world, battle worn and weary with the trials of getting to where he was. He looked out over the vast field of Shadow's that lay before him, and the book that awaited him in the end.
"For the sake of mankind" He whispered, "I must win this battle.."
He raised his hands to the sky and a bright light shone forth, blasting into the masses of Shadows and obliterating them, leaving behind a swath of destruction.
"I am coming for you Damian," He whispered into the dark air, "And not even your demonic creations can stop me."

Tsuki cartwheeled over Amnity's head, stopping a few feet from her with his back turned.
"Enough" He whispered, his voice grave, "Save your energy, it begins."

Deep in the heart of the Shadow realm, Malcolm fought bravely, pressing forward through the mass of Shadows blasting left and right with powerful burst of light, destroying every enemy in his path.

Tsuki turned to face the center of town, wings materializing on his back.
"If you wish to take sides Belle, now is the time, Damian has no hold on you besides fear, make your choice."
A howling filled the air, so loud that it chilled even Tsuki to the bone, shaking the dust and leaves, rising to a crescendo of chaos.
Suddenly, with an echoing crash, a pillar of black flame erupted into the sky, coming from the center of town, the pillar took shape, becoming a large portal. A portal out of which came the most fearsome sight Tsuki had ever seen.

Damian stood with his head held high, floating in midair, his eyes radiated the darkest hatred, even across the vast distance of the town and country side. Behind him rose wave after wave of Shadows and Vampires, they flowed onto the streets, moving through alleys and houses alike, bringing destruction everywhere they went.

Tsuki's eyes grew dark, and he raised his sword high, letting out a battle shout that shook the ground.
"DAMIAN! HEAR ME! WE. WILL. NOT. BE. Taken!" He dropped the tip of his sword, pointing it at the portal, "LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!!" He roared, dashing forward with the speed of a nightmare, twin swords flashing in the wind.

((Sorry for borrowing song lyrics, they just seemed appropriate))

Amnity froze even before Tsuki said enough. She sensed that something was coming, she knew something was coming. A twisting, uncomfortable feeling hit her in the gut, but she just sighed. She glared as it seemed that the portals of hell itself opened in the center of the town. The time has come it seemed...An army of half a million shadows and vampires against...4 people, maybe 3 because she didn't know what side Belle was taking. As all of this happened, Amnity closed her eyes and spoke, her voice airy and drifting, thought it was loud enough for everyone else to here.



"...Malcolm..." Amnity finally opened her eyes. They were on fire. Like a red flame burning in the night sky. Suddenly, an unknown energy around Amnity seemed fire up as well. Magic, power, she wasn't sure. Pieces of her silver hair seemed to levitate, the ground around her ripped as if a crater just crash landed onto the earth. She raised one hand in the air, then brought them both up to the sky. "выйдите из темноты, существо ночи!" Immediately after the incantation, a bright light appeared in the sky. Though it was nighttime, it seemed that the sun had come out. It was like a sign from the heavens....That those 4 people were going to kick some serious a**. Amnity didn't even stay to see what the aftermath of her spell was. She had summoned a portal and already disapeared....
