The crystal began to shudder violently as the lamp was rubbed, the light growing ever brighter as the sheer weight of the air in the room became virtually unbearable - Even the guardian appeared to be struggling and with wide eyes she watched as the crystal gave a violent crack and a large slit appeared in the purple crystal. At this, the pillar of light seemed to fail only briefly until at last the ball of black light began to raise up from within it...but there was something amiss.
The black ball began to ripple and warp as though something within it fought desperately to get out, the struggle appeared to be unusually difficult and even the guardian was becoming rather worried by the apparent failure of the summoning until at last the red claw tore through the top and from within the demonic being emerged.
Nevertheless, the creature was still distinctly ethereal and even in this state the Guardian could see that his wings had been brutally warped and were grossly small for what he was. She grimaced at this and yet, found herself more concerned with retrieving him from the Nexus before any other problems occured.
"You must pull him free!" She ordered in a stern voice, yet with a hint of strain within it.

Zayn blanched as things seemed to be going wrong with the summoning. "Is he okay?" Zayn found himself very concerned. The Elysian seemed to be out of proportion, with tiny wings that could barely support it. Was it his fault after all? He'd done something wrong that had warped his Elysian!
"Pull him free, right," Zayn repeated, nodding. Even faced with a demonic 'beast', guilt and concern forced any other worries aside. Zayn didn't find it difficult to step forward and take a firm hold of the wrist that protruded from the ball of shadows. Uncaring of the claws that cut into him - perhaps he deserved them for being unable to summon this creature properly - Zayn pulled fiercely at the arm.
He was met with equal resistance. Something was truly wrong with this summoning. Suddenly there was equal pressure on his other arm. Looking back, the Ieldi felt his mouth drop slightly as he took in Stiltzkin, Albel and Kyuu all doing their best to help. He gave a watery smile to the familiars. "Thanks guys," he whispered, before turning his full attention back to freeing the Elysian.
((Eeeeeeeee, he's so cool! whee Tho my poor baby, having such a hard 'labour' crying ))

At last, the Elysian broke free of his gate and with a curt nod, the guardian surveyed the Elysian and its attributes - for better and for worse the creature was out. Nevertheless the 'labour' of the summoning had caused the petite demon to become extremely tired and the guardian could only glance briefly towards Zayn and his loyal familiars.
"He will need much rest." She confessed in a gentle manner before glancing round towards the crystal once more that still continued to glow with the same pillar of light. Unlike the others it had not immediately stopped and the gateway did not appear to want to close...
Her eyes widened at the dangers this presented, the possible chaos it would cause and with a ethereal gasp she motioned towards the great doorway of the summoning chamber to tear it open.
"Go, leave the lamp!" She ordered desperately, "But do not stray far!" She added, her intense gaze fixed upon Zayn for the briefest of instances before she turned her gaze towards the ruptured crystal once more.
//Just head outside into the main area of the temple and I'll post again out there in a second. ^^

The Elysian growled softly as Zayn cradled him in his arms, wings curving around for extra security and protection. As the Crystal Guardian said, however, the demon was too tired to do anything about the indignity of being carried like a newborn - which he actually was, Zayn thought with a small smile.
Turning his attention back to the Crystal, he noted that things had gone from fairly bad to Omigod It's Possibly The End Of The World Or At Least This Forest Area.
"I really did break it," he whispered with wide, horrified eyes.
Snapping out of when a fierce moogle kicked him in the shins, Zayn followed his familiars back out into the main Temple area. Whatever the problem was, he hoped the Guardian could fix it without injuring herself.
((Moving to other thread... ))

The doors closed abruptly behind them and with that the guardian was left to a battle of wills against the chaotic energies seeping out of the rupture crystal. In her hand she held fast the lamp and with the deepest of ethereal breaths she immersed herself in the energy that could only obliterate a mortal being...she was amazed that Diablos had managed to survive the journey himself - it only revealed how truly powerful he was at heart.
The light within the chamber became almost blinding and eventually it seemed to cover the entire area, the crystal and the guardian no longer visible while the walls shuddered against the unseen battle and suffocating force of the air within.
I have endured worse... The thoughts of the Crystal Guardian echoed across the chamber, You will close.
And thus, the chamber was suddenly thrown into a void of absolute darkness, the power of the ruptured crystal no longer felt...

Following the dark and almost spiritual like being before him, Myth entered the chamber quizically gazing at the new room before him. Myth felt the gentle and beckoning pulsation between his Crystal and the room grow as it intensified he wondered how the past events could have possibly been brought about.
Myth stopped upon entering the room and turned his gaze over to the Crystal Guardian awaiting instruction.
"I'm afraid I do not know what to do," muttering more to himself than to anyone else...

"Place your crystal upon the pedestal." The guardian instructed firmly as she motioned towards the door and allowed it to close somewhat more swiftly than it had opened. In response the walls gave a shudder and the air developed an icy chill, a chill that the Guardian herself could scarcely feel due to the nature of her very being.
"When that is done, we will begin." She added, glancing in a somewhat confused manner towards the mirror-like ice that had begun to develop on the wall, the glass-like glint reflecting the glow from the crystal within his grasp with a rather great intensity.

Myth listened intently to all the Crystal Guardian had to say but couldn't help but be a little distracted by what was happening to the Chamber all around him. He slowly walked to the center of the room facing the pedestal, and with one quick glance at his reflection on the icy walls a simple boy holding onto something that matered to him most, he saw himself holding his crystal.
A short intake of breath, and an innocent and untainted gesture he placed his crystal on the pedestal before him...

It was done, no sooner had the crystal touched the pedestal that the whisps of ice began to creep outwards to embrace it. The inner glow within the crystal became more intense and with it, the bone chilling winds rose to whip about the confines of the small chamber in a somewhat enraged manner.
This was all just the beginning of the show though as the summoning crystal at the base of the crystal began to ripple and expand until the pulsing, runic ring was significantly brighter than the crystal it lay beneath and until the large orb of white light began to form at the very tip of the highest and sharpest point on the crystal.
The size of this orb continued to expand but it was at this point that the Guardian flicked her gaze towards Myth.
"You must draw the Elysian to you, release it from it's binds..."

Myth's mind raced as the sight before him grew more and more intense. He could barely hear what the Crystal Guardian had said, althought somehow he knew what he must do. Struggling against the winds and shivering Myth tried to move closer to his Crystal.
He shivered as he tried with all his might to carry his small figure through the wind. Gaining absolutely no ground what so ever he wondered what was happening, why couldn't he make it... Despite the fact that he had been chosen as a summoner did he not have the strength or the courage that he required to be able to release his Elysian?? With these very thoughts he thought of the others, those who had sneered at him upon winning... Those who had avoided him... And as a tear rolled down his cheek... Myth realised this wasn't about the other people... It was no longer about all the others... He had been called to this place today not because he had been asked to but because he had done it all for his Elysian... He had done it all because he wanted to, not because others told him too.
With this renewed strength that he now understood Myth felt a strong and urgent call from his Elysian. And thinking of nothing else but the pure adoration he had for this miracle that had been brought to him he smiled, as his tears turned into joy...
"Eyre, think of nothing but me and I will do all that I can for you"
Surging with all his might, Myth fought his way to the pedestal and placed his hand on the Elysian, forcing everything that could possibly be preventing the Elysian from coming forth to retreat from whence it came...

It was done - no sooner had he clasped his hands around the Elysian than they were enveloped in ice. The weight upon his hands would have been unbearable had it not been for the creature in which he now held in his grasp, a creature that was soon to become visible as the crystal gave a thunderous crack and lost its lustre while the light above it began to fade slowly to reveal the beast within...
With the revelation of the new Elysian, the walls began to shimmer as the ice disappeared and one again the room became dull, leaving only Summoner, Elysian and Guardian alone within the room.
"Congratulations, Eyre is born." The Guardian murmured quietly.

Holding the limp figure in his arms as best he could, Myth gazed into the turquoise eyes of his Elysian... Smiling the small creature shivered and in a split second Myth could've sworn he saw a flicker of a smile through Eyre's eyes before he closed them and settled down nestled in the crook of Myth's arms.
"Thankyou," Myth gestured to the Crystal Guardian, "for everything."
Slowly moving out of the chamber to the Main Entrance Hall, moving slowly and steadily so as not to wake Eyre.
Bold and Menacing on the outside,
A Pure and Innocent Heart on the inside,
We may have more in common than I would have otherwise thought...
