 A   "Exactly. At least, for this situation. " She said before educing the next torture season on poor Cloud. Sad that this was really weak compared to what she could do and was hardly at all torture at all! Alisa was becoming more surprised by the weakness in the mercenary hero. "Hm.." She paused, only lightening her hold on him to be at least a little less painful. "Now, you know what will happen if you are lying to me? You won't go near that sword, correct? "
When Artemis grabbed her wrist, he might feel a slight jerk as Kana jumped in surrprise! Standing here, next to creepy-eye, to suddenly have her wrist grabbed out of no where and so unexpectedly was a fun way to scare Kana pretty good! It was rather funny, dispite how serious the situation here was. "Aaaaaaaartieeee! Warn me before you do that! " She pouted at him, she was not looking so tough in front of the worlds strongest sword right now! "You still haven't gotten over stalking me, huh? I was just about to call you here! " It was amazing how he could always show up like that, once upon a time, a short time ago, Kana was completely annoyed by his stalking habits of her, now, here they were. Another pair of adorable lovers in the world.
As Artemis began to inspect the staff,she couldn't seem to take her eyes off the moving eye, all the while listening to him speak of it. "Hmm? You know about this thing? Wait, how do you know? What do you mean by this form? " She didn't mean to swarm him with questions, but she also felt it was good to know all there was to know about the dangerous sword. "Huh? " Something was rather...familiar here. "Why does it sound like what I used to do? What my father, my brother and sisters all do? Souls keep it alive and feed it more power with each soul it receives? " Okay, Kana was offically confused. "This is to strange.." She nodded slightly. "Yes, if you don't mind explaining...but, first, since you got here, that thing hasn't stopped staring at your staff. Maybe you should move away a little? " Goodness knows if it was plotting something!

Cloud Strife "There's not a thing I don't cherish!"  "Guh...!" Cloud grunted. Of course. It could never be that easy. "Ugh, when did they start making girls so ridiculously strong..?" He wondered aloud. This girl could arm wrestle Jake's Devil Bringer and make it look easy!
When he gave in, at least the pain relented a little. However, he was kind of hoping it would relent all the way. He was still in serious pain and might have trouble walking after this. "Y-yes! I would never lie! Yes ma'am! Gah, I'll do as you say! I'll do whatever you and Kana say, just... mercy...! Please...!" This was rather humiliating, but right now Cloud's health and well-being were higher priority to him than his pride. For this teenage girl to overpower him so easily... just who WAS she?
Artemis smiled kindly to his fiancee. "Your reactions are simply too cute for me to resist." He said. "Of course not. I'm always watching you, you know. Always." That sure didn't sound creepy at all. Though coming from his innocent mouth, how bad could it possibly be?
"Oh, I am quite familiar with it..." Artemis said, chuckling a bit. Once she learned what he meant, she might be a bit shocked. "The sword can survive without souls--it IS a sword, after all. However, it hungers for them and becomes more powerful with each one it takes. This blade has the power to level entire armies with a single blast, taking all the souls of the ones there." He explained. Then, at what she said last, he glanced at the sword. "That is because it recognizes this power. My staff could technically destroy the blade..." He said, looking back to Kana. "You see, Soul Edge--or rather the life form inside it, Inferno--can only be destroyed by itself, or something residing on an astral plane as it does." He further explained. "I mentioned before how it was not complete; another blade will soon be forged from its missing pieces called "Soul Calibur." This blade is the opposite, representing purity and order. However, despite this it is not perfect--it would destroy anything that had any sort of evil if it could have its way." Which included most people in the world, sadly. "One day, after a tragic set of events, Soul Calibur and Soul Edge will be finally dismantled, their energies fusing as one, awaiting for the day someone can wield them and keep their polar natures in balance with one another. ..." He raised his staff, so that Kana could see it better. There were two halves to it, with a split in the middle; the holy half, which was blue and crystalline, and the unholy half, which was orange/red and had a fang coming out of the end of it. "This... is the Embrace of Souls, my weapon and the unification of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge." He placed it back on the ground as he held it, the holy side against the ground as usual, with the unholy sticking up. "This is the burden I was chosen for in my time--the High Serenitians saw within me the chance for balance between the two ultimate powers, and so the fused energy of the blades were given to me, and took form as a staff." Because that was the weapon he was familiar with--Soul Calibur and Soul Edge both could change shape depending on who wielded them. For instance, if Kana HAD taken it to be her own, it would have changed into a scythe.
"So, to answer your earlier question, yes I know about "this thing" quite well--it is always with me, in fact." For such a perfect equilibrium to be made between the sword of true order and the blade of pure chaos, Artemis's soul must have been... extremely powerful. This naturally drew many demons and monsters to him, as well as, more recently, a LOT of Reapers who wanted the teenager as their slave. Since he was so strong-willed, they saw within him a challenge to conquer. However, only one Reaper would ever have his soul... And that will always be Kana... He thought to himself, lowering his head a bit, smiling as a warm feeling came over his heart.  (( OoC: ))

A lisa Amiella "You say that as though I was created as a cyborg. It's called training, lots of it. " She said, a sarcastic tone in her voice, all the while she was torturing poor Cloud in a wrestle that might bring even weaker men to tears.Though, after he had given in, and she lessened her hold on him, it wasn't until his begging began that, after painful seconds more passed, she let him go.. "Goodness. I never thought I would hear Cloud Strife squeal so much...I suspect you aren't going to want the world to know of this matter, so, if you don't want me telling all of your friends of your taking arms with a deadly sword, and your little moment here, you should come with me. Surly you have information that my team also needs if we are ever to stop this beast from destroying us all. "
"Always, huh? Okay, then! I will put you to the test! Who was I talking to before I came here?" It was as if she really, truly didn't expect him to figure this out. Maybe there was still a little more to learn about her demi-god lover.
As he began to explain further details of the sword apparently called Soul Edge, Kana listened quietly, only looking from the sword, to his staff, and to him at various moments upon his explanation. The shocked look to her face as he began to say the very staff he held, was a part of that swords power, was planted all over her face. "..Well..Gosh. That might explain why your staff is so powerful. So, you've had this power all along? How old were you when you first got it? " Why did she feel the answer was going to be a very low number? "Is it safe? I mean, for you..? It won't have any strange long-term affects to you? " Of course, she couldn't help but worry, how Artemis described it, it was a dangerous, and very deadly weapon. She just hoped it never got into the wrong hands.
"Um, I suppose I should ask. Should something ever happen, and it is knocked out of your hand by an enemy, will I be able to retrieve it for you? Or will I be destroyed by touching it? " She may of been confused, but it was best to clear that up too. He had said it would destroy anything evil, and she remembered him mentioning it could destroy her back in the reaper's realm so she did want to be sure. If all was good, at least she knew she could help get his staff right back to him in case it was ever lost from his grasp.
"Hmm? " Kana blinked up at him, taking a step closer and sort of leaning against him all cutely. "What was that? That will always be ..me? Artie, you look so cute when your thinking of me. " He always looked cute, but this was just a bonus of adorable endless cuteness! This was such a grand time to flirt, Alisa and Cloud were just moments ago in a death lock, with Strife in the losing round, while Artemis and Kana had a serious talk about the weapon Cloud tried to take, only to slip right back into their cuteness again.

 ~*~ Sephriea ~*~    
Sitting atop the largest shell home there in the forgotten city, which seemed to have turned into her home here, was Sephriea. She was just...sitting there, staring into nothingness, her eyes empty of life.
"There you are again..." A voice came from one of the many spikes of the massive shell, as a young woman stood there at the top, looking down at the silver-haired teenager below her with a troubling smile. "Why do you come here, day after day? Your heart is so empty, so filled of hate and darkness, yet you come to this once holy place. Do you maybe like it because...it reminds you of yourself? The emptiness, the loneliness you feel? Heh heh, you know, I wouldn't doubt it. As your heart falls into complete darkness...somehow you find one last memory to hang onto, the only thing that keeps you somewhat sane. " The girl said, hopping down, she seemed to float down softly where she landed there in front of Sephriea. "Just give up. Let go of anything that holds you back. What good did you have in your life exactly? Hmm? Think about it. Your life only began as a nightmare, you've gone through troubles through out, struggling each and every time. From a good little girl, to twisted killer. Then again, good, and now we are here, you sitting, struggling to find yourself on your own and find the right path, all the while you can feel the darkness weighing heavily on your heart. You know that is your path, your father's path has always been destined to you, after all. As he failed, so will you. Isn't it sweet? This bond is the closest you have ever been with him. Just like a father, daughter moment. Failure's, both of you! " Yes, that was most certainly sweet....
"So, what really drove you this time? Was it your failure to show affection to the one you once loved? So much that he was driven away, in the belief that you didn't love him at all? Then, only to be killed..Must suck, you know.To die thinking the one you so love, didn't love you back at all. To bad, huh? " But she did love him, Sixx, he was her first and only love. But she ruined even that. Now, she couldn't fix it and he was gone.
"If it will help, I can destroy everything here. Erase the ties that bind you here, those memories only confuse you, and hold back who you are to be. Memories of a long past love will do you no good. Sixx's moment here can die off, just like ---!"
Before she could finish that sentence, a blade came rushing forward, shoving right into her chest and instantly twisted around, to cause further pain, and possible death. "Ah!---Whoa, okay, okay...! So there IS life still left in that pathetic soul of yours..Hee,hee...Still just a pathetic fool, Sephriea..You won't change. He won't come back. You are alone! Forever! Let the sorrow fill your heart, there's nothing wrong with it. Live out your father's legacy and bring death to everyone...!" So, it was safe to say, that stab wound didn't seem to hurt her much.
"You are wrong...Someday, he will come back. Lot's of people came back, and so will Sixx! As long as I continue to come here, the place with my most important memories we shared....that....love..will reach him...and he WILL COME BACK!!" The mysterious girl would feel a kick to her stomach, kicking her both off her blade, as well as the shell for a good fall. "Your words won't change my mind. They won't change me! "

With a fishing pole in hand, a young man wearing a somewhat intricate designed armor was resting at the waters edge, he turned his head and gazed at the sleeping forest behind him, and with a wry smile couldn't help but mutter to himself," Couldn't catch any fish inside the forest at that tiny lake, might as well test my luck sitting out here. " He gazed back at the Ocean, his emerald green eyes glowing ever so faintly as he seemed to enjoy the peace and quiet away from everything. It'd been a while since he had decided to just, vanish off the face of Gaia once more only to reappear randomly. He reached back and cast the line out into the water, watching as the ripples formed across the surface as it landed and the little red bobbler popped up out of the water.
His held the pole with one hand, while the other reached up and began to fiddle with the pendant he was wearing. He shook his head, allowing the hood to fall from his head letting his shoulder length hair free and able to blow in the wind a bit. " I got no idea whats happening in the Cities or anything right now, not like I really have a easier method than going to check myself and find out. I could teleport over there, but...I dont really wanna deal with all the people that could show up. Even if there is a select few that I'd like to see...albeit theyd probably just be unhappy that I vanished again...that is if noones memories have been manipulated, or if I ever made enough of a impression on them to remember... Then again..."
He was joking to himself, just chatting as he let the pendant rest back onto his chest and waved his hand, as if he was smacking away his own thoughts. " Not like I really conversed with a lot of people in a effort to make those connections. Every ones already got their own friend groups, their own families and what not to spend time with after all...." His head frantically turned, making sure that he didnt just jinx himself into getting drop kicked into the Ocean as he spoke. Seeing that noone appeared, he let out a sigh of relief. " Thank goodness... Oh!" He jerked the pole and began to rapidly reel in whatever it was he hooked, but frowned the moment he got the hook out of the water. " Damn...Got away..." He re-baited the hook, and casted out once more as he began to hum to himself.
(OOC: Hoping I can actually start posting once more like the old days! I just gotta keep getting random bits of inspiration and remembering to log in! Also, Hello Hello!)

Ethan felt the pole tighten in his grip, as he was forced to his feet as something rather large hooked to his pole. He jerked the pole and started to reel whatever this big catch was, "HOLY!" He felt whatever it was pull him forward, almost into the water so he had to tighten his grip and actually use his own strength to prevent this from happening. The big grin that formed on his face showed that for the first time in a while, he was experiencing something incredibly joyful. He jerked and pulled a few more times, and was greeted with the sight of something sticking out of the water, something huge, bright and blue... Only for the his fishing pole itself to give out on him, it snapping and in his surprise he let go of it only to see it go soaring into the water, skipping across it before being pulled along by whatever it was he was about to catch. A vein popped on his forehead for just a moment, as he looked up at the sky in utter frustration.
"THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SUCH A GOOD CATCH! I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS!!! WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME!!!!?" He stomped around a bit, almost like a child would when he was throwing a tantrum. And swung his leg hard into a piece of rubble, causing it to break off and get sent skittering across the water. He blinked watching it, then quickly put a hand over his face as a even bigger grin formed. And he started to laugh, he couldnt help it. " HAHAHAHAH! God, I missed being outside and able to move around so freely. I feel so alive!!! I can even get upset over losing a fish! Actually, I should probably be more angry that my pole broke. Not that I can't just make another one these days, I guess it could be worse though! Good lord..." He shook his head, forcing himself to calm down a bit before bending over and closing his eyes.
His eyes opened, glowing brightly as he scratched the side of his face, "Guess I got overly excited just then, my bad...No, don't worry you two. You don't need to come out or anything, I ain't in any danger right now. No, we wont be having fish for dinner. I didn't catch any..." Despite their being seemingly noone with him, he continued to talk to the air and waved his hand about as if he was giving up on something, he let out a sigh before the glow faded from his eyes and he said," Thank you."

Ethan was still living in the Forgotten City of the Ancients, well. If anything, he might as well say the house he had taken over was his own home. He hadn't ventured out except to gather a few supplies, using his portals and just kinda snagging things when no one was looking and leaving the money to pay for them. It wasn't like he was running low on Gil or anything after all. Albeit, he didn't have too many ways of making money that people would consider 'Normal' but then again, with all the crazy things people are able to do in this world. What is normal these days?
The sounds of, what is best described as Metal clashing against each other echoed throughout the Forgotten City. Aiden was swinging the Light and Dark versions of his Arondight swords, hitting them against the claws of Ilfrit as if they were being pulled into each other. As he was doing this, he would suddenly spin around and swing a blade against a form of Yojimbo, clashing blades with him before jumping backwards causing the two Summoned Beings to slam into each other when attempting to strike him. The brown haired male was covered in sweat, his armor was taken off and placed against the wall to one of the homes. A orb of Ice was shot down at him from the air, as Shiva threw blasts of Blizzard III/ Blizzaga at him. He swung the bright yellow blade into one of the shots of Ice, and then redirected the other with the dark purple and black blade sending it at the Fire Demon. They had been sparring like this for hours, and not only were they running low on MP and he was running low on Stamina.
But the being floating above them all, constantly casting Gravija was getting annoyed with them. Especially when he would look to the right and have to dodge when Ethan would try to stealthily leave a after image on the ground to attack from his blind spot. Diablo laughed despite this, and the training continued. Eventually, Ethan was laying there on the ground starring up through the weird esoteric area up at the sky. He was breathing heavily as he smiled and spoke," Finally...I finally did it... I went through a entire long sparring match...and beat them all without nearly dying once... Finally!" Ethan couldn't help but let his voice raise, yelling into the sky as he laughed happily, before putting one arm over his face covering his emerald green eyes as he tried to rest his Adrenaline filled heart. But once he calmed down, he let the arm fall to his side. And he made a long breath," And now I need a shower."

((ooc: It's been so long, trying to figure out how to post to him. With all the resets would any of my characters even know who Ethan is? Lol. Do you want to say Sephriea still would know him? Has he ever met Rinoa before? She might be the best to be there, she's been traveling the world looking for Squall forever now so it could fit perfect that she's in this place. lol ))

     "...What is this place? It's so beautiful....Should I even be here? " She questioned aloud, there was no one, not a soul to be seen around these mysterious lands, so her question would be left in the air with no real answers! Rinoa had been traveling alone for so long, searching endlessly for Squall at the hope he was somewhere in this world, stuck as she was, at this point, she would even be happy to see Angelo! Or Selphie, heck, even Seifer would be a sight to see. She felt so incredibly alone in this world, with no one she really knew closely, no one from her own world. If anyone knew Rinoa well, they would know how much she hated to be alone! Yet here she was, still searching every square inch of the world with no real sign of her beloved Squall, or anyone from their home.
This place's beauty sure could take her mind off all of that, at least for a little while. Though she did wonder if she had stepped into some sacred grounds, of all the places she found so far, nothing really compared to this. Starting to walk out of the mysterious glowing tree's, she began to head forward, with no real destination in mind but following the path it lead to....Which would lead her towards the uniquely built homes made of giant shells. "....Is this....oh..! Could it be part of Azura's kingdom? .....Shell..homes....It just seems so perfect for a mermaid home! " Yeah, that wasn't exactly right, but hey, it was a amusing thought..

Ethan was humming to himself as he finished getting a bunch of things setup in the kitchen for dinner, a long sparring session. A quick rinse down, now dinner time. He was humming to himself as he got everything setup, floating around him where four small beings as he started to lift up the rather large pot of spaghetti noodles that he had decided to prep in advance. He figured itd be better to make something easy, and something that he had the supplies for on hand since he had failed at catching any fish earlier and to be honest, after that workout he kinda wanted something meaty to eat. "Come on you four, if you wanna help though feel free to grab the bowls for us! " He laughed to himself before carrying it outside, allowing himself to sing while the smaller beings moved quickly grabbing one bowl for each of them, and one extra. They resembled the summons that he had been fighting previously, well. Almost all of them were floating behind him and they rushed outside of one of the shell shaped homes.
The brown haired teenager may have grown too comfortable here, he was walking around like he didn't have a care in the world as he continued to hum. He stepped outside and with a wag of his finger a table appeared in front of his home, he placed it down as Bahamut covered the table with a blanket and the pot of spaghetti that probably could feed a group of ten was placed on top of it. He didn't even look around before he hurried back inside, grabbed a pair of tongs and came out with five forks while singing as the four summons looked on happily, well. One of them was trying to sneak some food but the Ilfrit there growled and they stopped.
"Never sang my songs on the stage~ On my own, never said my words wishing they would be heard~" He smiled happily as he sang along to the tune that was stuck in his head recently, " I saw you smilin at me, was it real or just my fantasyyyy... Hm?" He stopped singing, as he felt someone nearby. It was something he hadn't sensed around these parts since he decided to take residence here. He opened the lid and started to scoop out food for each of them, who happily said "Thankies!" "Thanks" "Much Appreciated" " Took too long..."
"Uh....Thats embaressing. Hello!" He could see someone nearby, not just sense them. They were wearing a blue outfit, and gave off a bit of a familiar feeling.
He squinted his eyes as he tried to figure out why, she kinda gave him the similar feeling as that one scary girl he met that was very talkative when he was back in Midgar for a little while. Albeit that was the only time he remembered meeting her at the very least.
