She felt like she was holding her breath when he grabbed her wrists and tugged, her shoes, which had been the same she had worn since the start, dragged across the ground. But, she kept her head high, trying to come off as proud and strong, staring up at the face of the Fake King, wearing the mask of her true friend. If you looked closely, you could see an uncertain quirk in her eyebrows, the hurt that rolled through red and gold.
It wasn't until he hissed out those words that she kept this facade - her face falling in to a true sadness, watching him as he spat out those words. It was obvious on her face that she was saddened by how much this illusion wanted his world to stay the way it had been.
Being just-about thrown away, she caught her balance enough to stumble backwards back in to her little group, a hurt anger flaring her eyes like two shaded fire, before she turned from his departing person, growling openly.
"Come. There is not much we can do for him." She stated, quickly and almost emotionlessly, rubbing her wrists and walking between the awoken three. "We should get this done with, I want to go home." She admitted, hoping they would take this painful walk with her.
She would not cry.
Not for this one. Not in front of her friends, not as the fake Empress - it was less a title and more of a promise now. She would lead them to the end of this.

Er, wow, Eva wasn't entirely sure if right now was the appropriate time to be attacking. The Viera faltered, instinctively taking a step back as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. Her bow was still lifted, and she had an arrow in place, but she found that she couldn't draw it back. Not right now, at least.
She'd probably come to regret it later, but perhaps it would be best if she were to back off for now.

Nio Love rolled 1 100-sided dice:
3Total: 3 (1-100)
The woman in his arms, so docile and quiet, made his shaking, sobbing form stop moving. His arms slid away from her, and his face hardened as he stared into those emotionless eyes. He loved her. He'd told her he loved her, and he just wanted her.. and this was how she looked at him.
"You're not my Mjoll."
Bastion took a step back, horrified at what he was seeing. She'd changed clothes; he realized that now. There was nothing about the woman that reminded him of his fiesty, fireball of a woman. And there was nothing in her eyes that told him she cared one lick - loved, or hated.
He hated her, though.
Turning away from the woman, one last sob left his chest in mourning for the Mjoll that had died in his arms, and the realization that no matter how much he wished it.. she was never coming back.
Never.
He walked calmly towards the woman who'd killed his Mjoll, and called forth the power of the Blessing. He only hoped it would end him, as it had so many others.
Fate was kind to him.
For once.

There was nothing she could do for these illusions, fragments of a false reality. "Pitiful." Lifen was being tossed about and at the call, her bow vanished. The voice had spoken, and then the plans changed as easily as that.
Gold eyes almost missed Lifen's stumble, but it pulled at her. It would hurt Lifen, just like it had before. They had no long history together, but Lifen was kind, calm, a friends as unexpected as she was. They had sought to free Mengyao once but now... now he was lost to a false reality.
"....." Lan had cried once, fearing the loss of one friend. She didn't want to cry again.
Mjoll watched Bastion curiously. She was nothing but a ghost of herself, it was true. "I've changed... yes." She answered quietly. "Come you should walk with me."
Yet he turned from her, her head tilted. Despite the emptiness she still felt as if she should stop him, raising a hand. Did he truly want to learn of their fate? However, she was too late to stop him.
Her eyes closed and then she turned towards the tower, Lan and the others were walking after the king. She didn't shed a tear for Bastion, for she knew; no matter how kind fate seemed, it was never truly what you wanted.
She followed them, wanting to see what would become of pride. She hoped to get to say one final goodbye to Lifen and apologize to Lan. It was the least she could do.
Current Location: Battlefield Character description:
Mjoll's well built with an hourglass figure. Her long blonde hair was left unbraid but with some pulled up in a bun so as not to drag the ground. Her ice blue eyes are as hollow as her soul. She has a plain cream dress on with white shoes.

So this was it. The last bits had crumbled, leaving only the massive tower in their wake. Somehow she knew what was waiting up there for her, calling out and drawing her to the tower. 'Guess I should go... there is nothing else for me here.'

It happened much, much too fast for her to really process, but one minute, Eva was fine, and the next...
But in the end, it didn't really matter. She had taken lives and now, in exchange, she was having her life taken. It was a fair trade, she supposed, and at the very least, she was glad that she had managed to do something for the Green Kingdom. Her only regret was--
"Damnit, m'lord...you never did tell me that story about the velociraptor race."
And then she was gone.

People were leaving from all directions by the time Xiu finally arrived back at the east field. She glanced quickly at the faces of the retreating figures, and scanned the remaining warriors who were still scattered across the land, searching for a specific few. They had killed her, and she wanted to know why--had they known about her other self? But how? She had been under the impression that everyone else here was a fragment like herself, but if that was the case...
Shun, Riley, Gene, and Levi. If she was lucky, she would hopefully find at least one of the four here somewhere. If she wasn't...
Well, then in that case, going to the Tower would be the next logical step.

It was painful to watch. His dear friend, the very first friend he had made outside of the Isles tossed about by a false image of the one she held close. Kiwi's eyes softened, and he helped to brace her gently upright as she was flung aside by the false king. He stared past her for a moment, into the void ahead, the faint image of the tower. The Voice resided there. Destroy the Voice, and they would topple the True King. This game would all be over. His fingers clenched round the fan. "Yes, it's time to end this illusion."
Head held high, he followed Lifen's lead.

Even Gilly was forgotten in the wake of what was to come. Riley straightened out, and her eyes went to the crack in the world, just like her comrades. Only where others saw a path, she saw a means to an end.
We should. She released Riley, her voice growing cold. She walked right past Ro, no longer caring if he fell for her facade or not. Her steps were steady, as she took her place beside Shun and Gene.
Let's end this. For Xiu's sake.

Name: Riley Current HP remaining: 47 Damage/ Healing/ Defense done: n/a Target(s): n/a Rank Ability : Bishop Kingdom ability: MECHANIC: For one turn, the player can act twice in a row--once for themselves, and once for their illusion! Depending on your rank, this means that you can either attack twice in a row, use one move to heal and one to attack, or so on. However, be aware that by using this, the player's opponent now has two targets that they can hit, and therefore the enemy may also attack twice in that same battle phase. (USED) Character kingdom: Red Character's Miasma Colour: Red Character description:The strange looking young woman who speaks only through the mind was taken from her youth at an early age and given to a spiritual society, a group of women devoted to attaining higher levels of purity and consciousness. She spent most of her years in complete isolation, untouched and untroubled by the taint of corruption. Cleansing both the spiritual and physical aspects, she was then given to the King as an adviser, the whisper in the King's mind that made sure all of her choices were fair and uncorrupted. Now that the King no longer has need of her, she has chosen to abandon her spiritual purity and take up arms to protect her beloved Kingdom. She's just regular ol' Riley now. Be warned.
Yes. They saw the tower. And Gene was right. They needed to go there next. Hearing Riley's words, he nodded with determination, though silently. He began to make his way towards the tower, but first paused by Mitsu.
"I'm assumign you'll want to see the end of this too. Come," he said, then continued on.... only to see a figure he really did not expect to see.
"...I thought we killed you," he said while staring at Xiu, who was now clad in silver. The kings came back to life as well? This.. certainly made things harder for them. But it mattered little. They knew where the Voice was. It was time to end this.

Roland stopped staring at Riley as she seemed to suddenly hone in on something in the distance. Confusion and worry written on his face. "End this illusion?" He watched as another member of the Gold Court walked by talking about it, but the Red kingdom had created no illusion this was real right?
"Riley where is everyone going? What are we ending? The battle is still here, the Blue king hasn't even shown himself yet to do battle!" He quivered suddenly, his chest growing tight with the air around him. Why was he so tired suddenly?

"Yes, that would be good." She nodded in agreement with Riley, though held back a 'and for our sake's as well.' She wanted out of this - she wanted to go back to her normal life. But not now - she had a job to do, a mission. Save Xiu and the rest of the Kings, she supposed. Defeat the one who caused all this.
Tagging along behind Shun, the Doppelganger was a little more surprised than the Reaper at the sight of her friend's look alike clad in silver.
"X-xiu...?" She stammered out, brow furrowed in confusion.

Ah, and there were Shun and Gene now. She moved to approach them, only to scowl at the former's "greeting". "Yes, you did. Trust me, it hurt like hell and I had no idea what was going on," A pause, and then she sighed, "But I suppose that I should thank you, in a way." After all, her death had resulted in her finally waking up from this dream. Granted that the truth had not been--and still was not--something that was easy for her to accept.
Frowning, she folded her arms over her chest and glanced between them. "You guys knew. You knew I wasn't real, you knew a number of others were just fragments...but how?"
These two obviously weren't her Shun and Gene...but then again, neither of them really truly existed either.

"I'd say sorry but it was so we could save the real Xiu," Shun said before looking towards Gene, who had also taken notice of the silver Xiu. He thought for a moment, but decided to continue to speak. She knew about the world now, just as with Mitsu.
"Like I said, a Baku should never be trapped in her own dream. We came in here to save her. And I suppose the others who are trapped too."
They weren't of this world.
