Welcome to Gaia! ::

The raw energy continued its powerful gathering within the eye of the beast, now watching Scytheress as she remained in place. The ground shivered with a subtle rumble around the beast as pieces began to pick up from it, fallen rubble and ruin bringing itself into the air slowly. Niether sound nor shadow took Citedal's attention away from its task. It didn't pay any attention to the illusion, because the girl's close proximity would not make any difference for what it did. Her spikes of shadow, instead of impaling the eye, absorbed into the sphere of black forming and were soaked up. The terribly powerful roar...it was like nothing to the creature that seemed to simply ignore it. The grass around Citedal slowly dulled in color, until it was completely gray. The same began to happen with the open space about three feet around its entire body. The energy within its eye swirled, the sphere growing beyond the size of its own eye, and eventually half the size of its head. Then came new sounds...cries in fact. They were nearly inaudible, soft whimpers carried through the wind as if forseeing what was to come. Again the sphere grew, and still Citedal waited as it watched Scy. Then...within a single instant, the sphere erupted with an enormous boom. A huge wave of force spread from the sphere in a vertical circle that cut a path to the left and right of the monster's head through the ground, the wave sent itself across the courtyard, almost enough to knock back those hit by it.



A horrible cry filled the entire courtyard, like the screaming whailing of countless, tormented souls almost. The sound echoed throughout the entire area and beyond...but that was not the devestation, no...for the exact moment this wave erupted and brought upon the distant screams then also came a terrible power. The sphere bent and contorted in Scytheress' direction until become a long, wide, deep black beam surrounding dull white and gray pillar like center. The beam was surrounded by many random, black, electrical sparks. It was an impressively wide attack of fifteen or more meters, coming straight for Scytheress! There was no defense for something clearly massive, a beam so terrible the dead echoed in pain from its very appearance. She would be completely wiped away in less then even a second perhaps, if she did not move from the path of the attack. Even more terrifying would possibly be the fact that the area six feet outside of the beam dulled to gray just like the area immediately around Citedal...almost as if the light itself were being absorbed to feed this attack's raw power. And still Solumone stood there, unphazed yet...no longer smirking. His right hand held tightly on the cane and his left extended out. "Ready yourselves...it is almost time." he said. Maru was near paralyzed though as he stood there, shaking slightly. Though he mostly remained stoic, his eyes were wider and quivering, as was his body.
